I woke up to the sound of my kids jumping on my bed. " Wake up! Wake up! It's the first day of school!" They yelled in unison. It wasn't really the first day of school, that was two months ago. It is, however, the boy's first day of school. With the combination of the werewolf gift and alicorn blood, they grew to the point that they looked twelve years of age, with the intelligence to match.

" Alright, we're up. Go downstairs and I'll make a special breakfast for the occasion." The three of them went downstairs to wait for us. I sat at the edge of the bed and pondered something. " It might just be me, but I'm fairly certain children aren't supposed to be this excited about going to school." Jackie got off the bed and swished her tail in my face.

" I think it has more to do with the boys are excited to do something with their big sister and play with other children other than Applebloom and Sweetie." She made her way to the bathroom to start the shower routine.

As I pondered her words, Luna came up behind me and wrapped her hooves around my neck. " Our children will have a difficult time growing up, what with them being royalty and having near-limitless power. This will give them the opportunity to have a sense of normalcy." She kissed my neck and got off the bed while trailing her tail along my chest and crotch. " Don't take too long with their breakfast darling." She flicked my nose with her tail and proceeded to join Jackie in the shower.

I got dressed and made my way downstairs to feed my children before they headed off for school.

Jacks Pov.

I sat at the table with my brother and sister while waiting for dad to finish making a special breakfast for us. " So, Sis, whats school like?"

" Yeah, we never get to hear about your days at school. You just talk about all the different ways of getting your Cutiemark." Orion pointed a fork at her while saying that.

" Well, Miss Cheerilee is really nice and hardly ever gives homework."

" I'm loving it so far," I commented while sipping my milk.

" Anyway, we learn history, math, science, and social studies. And of course, there's recess, where we get to play outside and eat lunch." Scoots then got a sour look. " Although, there are a couple of things that make school unbearable."

" Oh yeah, what two things are those?"

" Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon." She said with a bit of venom.

Orion had this to say. " I remember you and aunt Bloom talk about those two. Don't worry about us though, Jack and I can deal with a couple of spoiled brats."

Dad came over with breakfast at that point. " As much as I'd like to hear about you three dealing with bullies, I don't want to hear about any of you picking a fight on your first day. At least give it a week." Dad placed a stack of pancakes for each of us. Scoots had her usual berry mix syrup on hers, while Orion had bananas. Finally, dad placed in front of me a stack with strawberry syrup. " Now eat up, your mothers and I want to see you off before you three go to school."

" Okay, Dad." We went and shoveled pancakes down our throats so we can get our butts to school.

Orions Pov.

My brother, sister, and I were being squeezed to near death by our mothers. " Ooooohhhh, our son's first day of school. It feels like only yesterday, we were changing your diapers."

" Mom, we'll only be gone a few hours." Mom snuggled my neck, afraid we would disappear forever. " We'll see you when we get back."

" Ah know, but that doesn't mean we won't miss you while you're gone." Mama kept fussing over our hair and spat on her hoof to rub dirt off of Jack's cheek.

Luckily for us, dad was able to save us. He grabbed both our moms and pried them off us. " Alright, come on. If you two keep fussing over them, they'll be late for school." He dropped them both on their butts then brought us in for a hug. " Now, be on your best behavior, make new friends, and try not to fall asleep when Miss Cheerilee is teaching." He kissed our foreheads and let us go. " Now get going before I sic grandad on ya."

" Shut it, boy!" Grandpa yelled at dad from the living room.

Scootaloo looked over at the clock. " As much as I'm loving the attention, school starts in thirty minutes."

" Alright, I won't be responsible for you three being late." Dad brought us into one final hug and gave us our lunches. " See you three later."

" Bye Dad! Bye, Mom! Bye, Mama!" We told them and headed off to school.

Third Pov.

The three Huffstutler siblings walked down the dirt road heading for school. For the eldest sibling, this was a typical day for her, though it had the added zing of having her brothers joining her. For the werewolf brothers, they were about to enter a whole new world. This was a chance to meet other kids, make new friends, and learn something new.

Within minutes, the schoolhouse came into view, and waiting for them at the door, was Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. " Hey, you three!" Bloom ran over to the trio and embraced them in a hug. " You two ready for your first day of school?"

" A little." Jack looked a bit nervous. " What do they expect us to for our first day?"

Sweetie came up to them. " On your first day, they have you go up to the front and introduce yourself. Although, with you two, I don't you'll need much introduction."

" Hey, they may know our names, but that doesn't mean they know who we are," Orion interjected.

As they were discussing things, the bell rang, and Miss Cheerilee stepped out. " Good morning everyone. Girls, go take your seats, I need to talk with Jack and Orion." The girls went inside while Cheerilee came up to the boys. With a warm smile, she greeted the two boys. " Hello boys, my name is Miss Cheerilee, and I'll be your teacher."

" Hi, Miss Cheerilee." They said in unison.

" Now, before we get started, I'd like you both to introduce yourselves to the class. Now, follow me." She led them both into the class where the rabble of the classroom went silent after seeing the two newcomers. The two boys stood at the front next to their teacher, waiting to introduce themselves. " Good morning class. Today, we have two new students that will be joining our class." She then motioned for the boys to step forward. " Go on."

Orion was the first to step up. With confidence befitting a warrior, he spoke loud and clear. " Hello, my name is Orion David Huffstutler." He stepped back so his brother can have his chance.

With his brother introduced, Jack took a step forward with his head held high. " Howdy, my name is Jack Sidney Huffstutler. And we're-"

Both brothers linked their arms together and yelled. " The Wolf Brothers!" They gave the whole class a big smile while spreading their wings our wide.

The majority of the class clapped their hooves at the introduction the boys made. " Alright, calm down. Thank you, boys, now go and take those seats over by your sister."

" Yes, Ma'am." The boys went to the desks by their sister and sat down. Orion sat between Scoots and Bloom, while Jack sat between Scoots and Sweetie.

" Okay class, let's get on with the lesson plan." Cheerilee went up to the blackboard and started the day.

Recess. Orions Pov.

So far, today has been pretty good. Jack and I started school, introduced ourselves to the class, and even did well answering random questions. Now, we were outside enjoying lunch with Scoots, Sweetie, and aunt Applebloom. I was looking through my lunch that dad packed, and noticed a couple of voices behind us. " Well look what we got here Silver, a couple of monkeys that learned to talk." We all turned to see that it was Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

" I see them, Diamond, which makes me wonder why they're even here? Didn't you know that they don't allow monkeys or dogs in school?" Silver gave off a smug smile after the insult.

Jack and I looked at each other, then at the spoiled brats, then back to each other. " So, want to play catch after we eat?" The spoiled brats gawked at our reaction.

" Sure. I brought the football with me, wanna play with, sis?" Diamond and Silver couldn't believe that their insults were being ignored.

" I'd love to, wanna play to girls?" They all agreed and we headed over to the open part of the playground.

When we started playing our game, the two rich girls came over and tried to antagonize us again. " Hey!" Jack and I turned over to Diamond. " Didn't you hear what we said!?"

" Oh, don't worry, we heard you," I told her while catching the ball.

" We just don't give a damn." Jack crossed his arms while smirking their way. " As dad would say. ' Your words are as twisted and feeble as an old woman's'."

This got Diamond really mad. " Well, my dad is the owner of Barnyard bargains and the richest pony in ponyville."

Now, it was my turn to come back. " Well, our father is the king of Herot, the prince of Equestria, and the hero to both. Not to mention, our mothers are the queens of Herot, Mama Luna is the princess of the night, and Mama Applejack is the bearer to the element of honesty. So your father's moderate wealth and small influence mean little to nothing to us." I turned back to the game and threw the ball to Sweetie.

What I said must have made something snap in her, 'cause what she said next, was just downright stupid. " Your parents consist of a country bumpkin, Nightmare Moon, and a flea-bitten mutt!!" Silence was met after she said that. All the foals were starring at Diamond Tiara with unbridled horror, even Silver Spoon started inching away from her long-time friend.

I clenched my fists tight and let loose a growl. " You can insult Jack and me as much as you want. But no one insults our parents." Jack now stood next to me with the same anger as I did.

Not deterred by our anger, Diamond continued with her taunting. " And what are two runts like you, going to do about it?"

" This!!!" We both donned our wolf forms and started for our prey.

3 o'clock. Joes Pov.

I stood outside the door of the schoolhouse beside Filthy Rich. Earlier, Scootaloo came home and told me that Miss Cheerilee wanted to see me about the boys. That's never what a parent wants to hear.

As I stood outside the school, I tried to make small talk with Filthy. " So, any clue as to why we're here?"

Filthy let out a long sigh before speaking to me. " I'm usually called here at least once a week because of my daughter getting into trouble with another student. And seeing that you're here. I'm going to guess it has something to do with your kids."

" ( Sigh) I only hope that it's just a small disagreement, frankly, I'm a little disappointed that one or possibly both my boys got in trouble their first day."

A moment later, the door opened with Cheerilee coming out part of the way. " Mister Rich. Mister Huffstutler. Please come in." We followed her inside to find the kids sitting at their desks. My boys had their clothes torn to shreds and their heads down in shame. Diamond, on the other hand, was shaking and shifting her eyes everywhere else besides my boys. Cheerilee led us over to her desk and sat behind it. " I assume I don't need to tell you why you're here."

I looked behind me towards my boys. " I can take a pretty good guess."

" Let me give you both the rundown of what happened. A few students witnessed Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, approach Jack, and Orion and verbally assault them with insults." Mr. Rich gave a disapproving glance over to his daughter. " At first, the two boys ignored the insults and even went to play a game with the other students. However, it would seem that one insult took hold. The boys then proceeded to change, and chase Miss Tiara around the school, nearly giving her a heart attack." Now it was my turn to look at my boys with disapproval. " Now, as far as punishment goes, the boys are being given a stern warning, seeing that it's their first day. Diamond, however, will be staying after class for a week."

" Thank you Miss Cheerilee, I believe that is the best course of action for my daughter. Come along Diamond, it's time to go." Diamond quickly left her desk and zipped out the door with her father right behind her.

I turned to my sons and gave them a glare. " Boys. Follow me." My sons got up from their seats and followed me out the door. When we were a good distance away from the school, I led them up to a lone cloud and sat them down. " So. Wanna tell me what happened?"

They looked between each other before Jack started. " We did what you said and ignored them when they made fun of us and went and played ball with Scoots."

" But then she started to insult you and our moms. We told her to stop, but she just kept going. So...we wolfed out and started chasing her."

" We weren't going to hurt her, just scare her a little bit."

They both started to cry after explaining the situation. At this point, my anger had melted away and I brought them in for a hug. " Alright, come on, don't cry. Look, I'm not mad, just a bit disappointed that you two would do this on your first day of school." I broke the hug and made them look at me. " Look, I won't tell your mothers about today, but you two have to make me a promise. From now on, unless someone is really trying to hurt you, you won't wolf out on anyone."

" We promise." They both had smiles on their faces as they found that they weren't in huge trouble.

" Alright, let's go get your sister and head over to Sugarcube Corner. Then we'll head over to Rarity's and see if she can fix your clothes." We glided down off the cloud and headed for home to get my daughter, and put this crazy day behind us all.

Author's Notes:

I thought it would be nice to have a chapter about the boys and their first day of school. Then I come to realize how much it hurt to do it, I mean that physically hurt. But, no matter, because now, we head back to the Crystal Empire to win them the vote for the Equestrian games.
