Celestia’s sun gleaming brightly on Twilight’s castle, as she walks outside enjoying the soft breeze of a cool March breeze blows through her mane. She walks along the tiny bridge, which was connected to the school.

Her school, the School of Friendship.

The corridor covered with ponies and creatures of all species and sizes. She overheard a few of her students talking as she passed by.

“I can’t wait to see what Princess Twilight has in store for us this semester!” an overly excited pegasus said.

“Duh, I know that! But she is still the overall Princess of Friendship.” the pegasus said, stating the obvious

Twilight giggled under her breath, then focused back on the task at hoof.

“Okay Twilight, just breathe. This is your friendship school! I just have to meet with the girls and assign the rooms.” Twilight said, pulling out her list.

Coming from around the corner, Starlight notices her friend/former mentor. “Hey, Twilight!” beams Starlight.

“Hey Starlight!” Twilight replied with the same energy. “Where are the girls?” She asked, noticing that they were the only two here.

“They should be here in a few, I imagine that they are trying to find their way around this place.” giggles Starlight.

“Well I guess they could get their classes assi-” Twilight got cut off by Applejack, who was racing towards Twilight. “Sorry we're late, Twilight.” Apologizes Applejack.

“Yeah, who knew how big this school would have been to find your way around this place!” Pinkie pipes up.

“Well, now that we are all here I can assign the room I have given to you.” Twilight passes out each a map and schedule to the seven girls.

“Ooo, I get to teach fashion!” Squeals Rarity.

“Yeah, because we all know how important fashion is to you Rarity.” Mutters Rainbow Dash.

The girls giggle, while Rainbow Dash looks over her map and schedule.

“I get to coach some of the flyers here? Sweet!” Rainbow Dash said, her tone excited as she pumping her hoof in the air.

“You were saying, Rainbow Dash?” A playful smirk plays onto Rarity lips.

“If you need help showing you to your rooms, I could get Starlight to-” Twilight stated.

“Oh, please Twilight. We're not little fillies you know.” Pinkie Pie says.

Twilight arches an eyebrow. “And how long did it take you to find your way to the main lobby?” She asks in a deadpan voice.

Pinkie Pie gave her a nervous expression and giggle, rubbing the back of her neck. “Hehe forty-five minutes.”

Twilight rolls her eyes in a playful manner. “Starlight, do you think you can show the girls to their rooms?” she asks her friend.

Starlight nodded. “Come on, girls. I already have this place memorized like the back of my hoof.” She directed the girls down the hall.

“Can't believe we are getting treated like fillies.” Mutters Rainbow Dash, who Twilight overheard as she passed by.

Twilight giggles to herself, then looks around the school everything was in perfect order. She gazes down at the list, she grabs a quill in her aura and checks off everypony’s name.

Except for one.

“Hmm? I must have missed this pony.” Twilight thought as she looked at specific name that was on her list. She looks at the name once again, before rolling up her scoll.

Professor Shining Star.

“Must be new here. I would hate to get off on the wrong hoof with him/her. No matter! I just go introduce myself to them. Just be friendly, but not too friendly.” Twilight thought as she makes her way down the hall, making a left turn.

“Princess Twilight?” A young unicorn asks.

“Oh, hello there! How may I help you?” Asks Twilight.

“Could you point me in the direction of-” The young unicorn pauses as she takes a look at her schedule. “Applejack's Homecare and Wellness class?” she asks.

“That is down the hall. Take a right and it is the fourth door on your left.” Directed Twilight.

“Thanks!” She shouts.

Twilight focused back on the task at hoof. There before her was Professor Shining Star door, its exterior of the glass was made of sawokidan crystals its handle cold to touch. “They must have already made themselves at home.” Sighing, Twilight uses the breathing technique Cadence showed her to use whenever she felt nervous or stressed.

“Besides as long as Celestia believes in me, I know I can do this!” Twilight mutters, trying to boost her self-confidence. She knocked on the door before entering. “I bet this new professor is some harmless, strict, for-”

“Come in.” Muffles a voice from behind the door.

Twilight pushes the door open to the professor’s room. She noticed that he was writing a complex spell onto the board, his hoofwriting slightly messy, but still eligible to read as his light blue aura holding a white chalk stick. “Good morning, Professor Shining Star.” The professor turned away from the board to reveal the rest of his appearance. His coat was light grey like the color of a pre-storm cloud with wavy-like salt and pepper colored mane His beard a medium sized goat-tee. His tail was long with the same colors as his mane. His cutie mark symbolized a tornado. His eyes shown a aquatic blue.

The young alicorn stopped in her tracks. Her mind racing and her heart skipping a beat. Blush rose to her cheeks and spread like wildfire, making it noticable.

Flustered by the looks of this dapper professor, Twilight was rather speechless by his sudden appearance.

Professor Shining Star grins at Twilight giving his hoof for her to shake. “Headmistress Twilight Sparkle, I presume? Pleasure to meet you.” His accent was posh- almost British sounding.

“P-Please Headmistress Twilight is fine.” Twilight said trying her best not to stutter.

After the blush tones down from her face she continues. “But it's wonderful to meet somepony who is willing to teach “Physics of Forgiveness” is one of the most complicated subjects. Because no pony really understands what it means to Forgive. But, I am so relieved to have found a quality instructor willing to teach it.”

Professor Star waved a dismissive hoof in front of Twilight “Tish Tosh, my dear! It’s an honor to teach here! I mean just look at where we are standing! You made this school happen! After others have said you can not do something that you love! You took a stand to it and realize that everypony deserve to learn friendship. Other ponies- would have probably step down- but you, you let your voice be heard and opened a School of Friendship! Opening it to other races other than the traditional races. You have a whole new race at your disposal such as hypogriffions, yaks, dragons, and changelings.”

Twilight slouched for a bit, slightly annoyed by how much this stallion rambles.

“Everypony thought that you couldn't do it. Putting you down when you least expected it. They say you were crazy to even consider something like this to even happen! But, I say you’re crazy like a fox.” the professor explains, giving Twilight a sly smile.

This statement broke Twilight from her bored expression, Professor Shining Star now had Twilight’s full attention. “You have defined what friendship truly means. Embrace chaos!” He chuckled to himself.

He paused for a moment, choosing his next words carefully. “Consider me a fan.” he said, his tone rather amusing toward her.

Twilight felt her cheeks warm up again. This time she was speechless. Somepony was a fan of her hard, dedicated work? Nopony- besides her family, friends and of course Celestia herself- has admired her work, but not like this. “... I well… Thank you, Professor.”

Twilight gazed around the spacious room, proud of herself and how far she has come. “But I can’t take all the credit! It was my friends and Princess Celestia who encourage and suggested that I should open a School of Friendship. Plus the map was expanding much more. For example, it has reached out from Saddle Arabia to Manehattan. However, I have always supported the idea of teaching Friendship to non-unicorns- I mean anypony can learn friendship. So after months of structure research and educating myself in different races it became perfectly easy...to...embrace….chaos.”

Grey, misty, fog like smoke enveloped around Professor Shining Star. Twilight pauses from talking to the new professor, taking in his words. This time Twilight was pondering her thoughts to herself before it all became clear. “.... Where have I heard that saying before?” Thought Twilight.

Her eyes widen in bewilderment. “I bet you think this is really funny.” Twilight turned half around giving a glare at the “stallion”. Her voice now had the tone of distaste and slight bitterness. “.... Discord.”

Discord gawking at the Princess of Friendship’s expression, laughing. “Actually, dear headmistress… I thought it was hilarious. I mean being a headmistress of your own school, who-”

Twilight cuts him off. “What are you even doing here Discord?” Bitterness laced in her voice.

“Well if you ask me I think the question is why did you hire me?” Discord riddled. Twilight was slightly confused at what the draconequus was inclining.

“Looks like to me you couldn’t resist my charms.” He looks at Twilight with a sly fox-like smile.

“Pft, you wish.” Twilight scoffed.

Discord rolled his eyes. “Oh come on Twi Twi-”

“Don’t call me that!” Twilight snaps.

DIscord sighes. “Anyways, you “claim” you are not into me, huh?” Discord asks, backing Twilight into a corner of the room, holding an intense gaze at her.

“No.” Twilight said, her tone blunt.

Discord transformed back into the stallion Twilight first encountered with. “So you are saying your not into this?” A playful smile spread across his lips.

Heat rose to Twilight’s face. “N-no..” She stammered.

“Looks like to me somepony is lying to herself.” Discord teased.

Twilight tried to get out of the corner that she was backed into, but between the two of them she knew there was no escaping. “Discord, I swear to Celestia if you do not let me go.” She said, her tone threatening- as her eyes spoke another expression- distaste.

“Twilight,” Discord stated. “You can lie to yourself all you want to, but I know you have feelings for me.”

Twilight stayed silent for a moment thinking of what to say to him. “I thought you were in love with Fluttershy?”

“Psh, that was in quite a few audio dramas especially a popular one: Bride of Discord.” Discord said, mumbling to himself.

“Wait… what?” Twilight looked at him with confusion.

“What are you talking about?” Discord sighed, muttering to himself. “Oh, right I forgot you didn’t like me that much in that one,” he turned his attention back to Twilight, whom was still glazed with confusion. “Ugh, nevermind!” Discord said.

Twilight scrunched her nose, not liking the words that were about to come out of her mouth next. “When did you ever start taking a liking to me anyways?” she asked.

Discord tapped his beard with his hoof. “Hmm that’s a good question! Give me a second.” He grabs the script, wearing his reading glasses as he flips through the pages. “So that is why I started falling for you?” Discord arches an eyebrow. “Who came up with that genius idea?” Discord asks. He scans the rest of the scene. “Vocal Sweets, what have you got yourself into?” He mutters to himself, he poofs away the script. While looking at a slightly confused Twilight.

“Look as much as I would love to figure out why you have fallen for me, which I will seem to never figure out. I actually have office papers I need to return to filling out.” Twilight explains. She grabs Discord in her aura and pushes him to the side, she trots forth toward the door and leaves.

“I actually know why I have fallen for you. Just wish you felt the same way Princess.” Discord mutters to himself.
