Eventide Note was looking forward to giving lessons to the young ones, especially in light of the less than civil event the other week. She was happy that there were some ground rules for the education of the foals, what she wasn’t so sure about was the fact that one of the mandates for early education was lessons on reproduction. She could understand teaching the foals how to tell the difference between love and infatuation, but sexual education for ponies this young felt a bit off.

She wanted to come off as professional, but she also wanted to embrace the self-positive body image approach the town was going for with its semi-official “dress code” and asked Stellar Weave to make her the appropriate attire. Eventide’s personal problem that she had what many called “model figure” and was worried about the message she would be sending the foals. Of course, the head of the town regularly went about town naked with a figure that was enough to make a few genuine models feel inadequate. With that in mind, Eventide going around in somewhat revealing attire didn’t seem too bad.

What Ms. Weave made for her was barely what most ponies would call clothing at all. The shirts, if you could call them that, were barely able to cover the chest and the skirts, and that was using the term loosely, barely covered her lower regions, even her new underwear, which was only panties, barely did their job concealing her adult bits. And to make matters worse, she allowed Ms. Weave to alter the rest of her attire to line up her new attire without actually seeing what the new attire was like beforehand. Only a minimal number of garments were spared, mainly the formal and casual attire she intended to wear when going out of town.

Eventide had no aspirations of being on the catwalk, she didn’t like lots of eyes on her, and now she felt like the entire town was a fashion walkway in the worst way possible. She would probably change her opinion on everything based on what the students’ attire was like. To her surprise, when the students finally did arrive, a full third of the class was going in the nude; another third were in swimsuits, for some inexplicable reason; and the last third of the class were in mostly normal looking clothes, aside from what seemed to be some minor alterations to have their outfits match the town’s aesthetic.

Eventide didn’t care much for the erotic, she often tried to avoid it whenever possible, but since a third Zelshirska’s power was tied to knowledge, something that teachers do their best to impart to their students, she figured it wouldn’t hurt have the dragon goddess’s representations at her home or near the school. Perhaps she would talk to Daring Do about it, and there was some sense what thought she would never think about seriously. The fact that A.K Yearling was in truth the genuine Daring Do had come as a surprise, but in the grand scheme of things didn’t have as much of an impact as most would think if you took the time to think about it a bit more.

“Alright Class, settle down,” said Eventide when she was sure all the students were present. “Since this is technically our first day of class, I won’t take attendance for the day and leave it to you all to socialize. I think it best if you get to know your fellow classmates personally, after lunch I’ll assign a simple project that will let you tell me a bit about yourselves. But for now, get to know each other for a bit, I’ll let you know when recess is starting so you can go out and play, after that will be the assignment I mentioned earlier. You don’t have to give me the assignment when school gets out, but please try to turn it into me before the end of the day tomorrow.”

Almost as if on cue the class started mingling and chatting, it was nice to see foals socializing. And it was knowing how quickly things were changing that scared Eventide a bit. She decided the first two weeks or so would be like any other lesson plan in Equestria; she would then test the waters with the sexual education by giving a basic lesson on the differences between male and female bodies, with the use of more family-friendly wording, and see how the parents of the class responded. She felt this was the best way to go about things, discussions with parents and guardians about what they considered inappropriate for foals was never something an instructor wanted to have. This was definitely going to be an interesting first year for the town, she doubted it would go more than five before ceasing to be a thing, it was an exciting experiment, but she didn’t think it would move beyond being anything more. At the very least, she got to actually experience what it was like to be a school teacher.

While the students worked on socializing with each other, Eventide set to work writing the simple questionnaires. Since they didn’t have any premade forms, yet, that meant Eventide had to do all the work personally with loose leaf paper at her disposal. Thankfully her class size was small, only about a dozen or so students. She had more than enough blank sheets to pass out to the students.

Eventide chuckled to herself as she wrote out the forms for the students, Ponyville had earned a reputation for the sort of things that are outside the norm of Equestria but this town was a project in the sort of thing that even Ponyville would find odd. All six of Equestria’s greatest heroes lived in Ponyville, all seemingly unassuming, for the most part, one was a princess and another was unforgettable for other reasons.

Well, all of the six great heroes were unforgettable, but Pinkie Pie was memorable on a level all her own. Stellar Weave considered Rarity a major inspiration in her life, despite having very little contact with the mare herself in life. The Apple clan had always been a family known for their quality of work but that had been within a rather small circle, the level of their quality became better known with Applejack taking on her heroic role in the time the six heroes went about doing things for Equestria. Rainbow Dash got into the Wonderbolts during her time as a hero. Even Fluttershy, the least brave member of the group, was able to become the beacon of compassion she was now thanks to her time with the other heroes.

Even though they’re recorded as heroes, it was more at Princess Celestia’s behest. They had done several heroic deeds, but they themselves admitted they merely did so out of obligation. Princess Twilight Sparkle had merely experienced her life the way she did thanks to the privileges she was given in her youth and earned through her deeds. She had even written a book about how the privileges that one’s parents can be imparted onto their children and how it is always up to those children to prove themselves worthy of the privileges imparted on them by the system. She even cites a number of examples, the first three being of relation to the families of herself and her friends. She also told of how one’s work can earn them privileges, once again citing her friends among the examples.

Eventide had read that that book dozens of time as a filly, it was her main inspiration for wanting to be a teacher. Her parents had both been born into privilege and had numerous public recorded accounts of not following through on their obligations to society. Eventide’s younger brother, Noblesse Oblige, was of like mind to her, much to the annoyance of their parents. Noblesse was pursuing a career in politics, something their parents approved of, but his reasons for seeking political power were similar to why Eventide was pursuing a career as an educator.

Her parents were both pegasi that had lived among the Canterlot crowd for years, Eventide and Noblesse had been raised in Canterlot as well. The only reason had gotten away with reading her favorite book as much as she did was because one of the princesses authored it. Her parents had actually been thankful they were living in Canterlot when Noblesse had been born, seeing as he was a unicorn instead of a pegasus. Her parents weren’t purists, like some other notable Canterlot nobles, but they were a bit surprised. Eventide soothed the worries of her parents by stating that one of their distant ancestors was probably a unicorn, probably from an earlier time when the pony tribes had little to no concern regarding who their partners were.

Now Eventide was here, in town that was a social experiment in seeing the viability of older practices and beliefs in the modern era. She was already enamored by the bathhouses. She was surprised to learn that social bathing was a very ancient practice for ponies, one that wasn’t maintained by the ponies that founded Equestria, but there was a chance that the ponies of other nations around the world maintained such an ancient tradition.

Eventide almost giggled to herself; her parents would likely flip out if they knew about the properties of this town. They were approving that she had gotten approved for the project, that was mainly because of the fact the project is a joint venture among all the princesses. This is a project that Equestria had yet to see. Eventide didn’t care about all that; she just wanted to be a teacher. She just didn’t think such a distinct social environment would accompany her first set of lessons.
