Physics Class, Taught by Mr. Cordis

by Twilight Glimmer

Chapter 1: Why Me?!


Today was supposed to be a normal day for the Princess of Friendship. Princess Celestia was coming to visit her, and for the first time, Twilight hadn't freaked out preparing for her arrival.

She probably should have.

Twilight welcomed Celestia into her castle and the two alicorns walked to the dining room while talking about Twilight’s plans to have a handful of students in Celestia’s school take courses in the School of Frendship until they learned how to not bully others. Everything was going as planned.

Everything was just fine.

Then, the two alicorns sat down in the dining room. Spike was there as well. He caught up with Celestia while Twilight got the pancakes and tea. When Twilight sat back down, Celestia took a sip of the tea. The tea that should have been served at 110 degrees Fahrenheit was served at a whopping 109 degrees Fahrenheit. This was a despicable deed. One that could absolutely NOT go unpunished. The death penalty would be getting off easy for this crime. Anypony who was crazy enough to commit this oh-so-serious crime needed to be punished in a way that would forever ruin the pony’s day. They needed to take a physics class.

“A physics class? I passed physics years ago, Princess Celestia! You taught me more than most teachers know about the subject. Who could possibly teach me any more?”

Celestia smiled and said, “You’ll see...” With that, she vanished. Well, actually she just went outside and thought about kumquats and blue sunflower seeds. This always made Discord appear.

With a puff of smoke that was an undescribable color, the former Lord of Chaos appeared. “Greetings, oh all powerful Celestia. You seem to be in a simply jovial mood on this fine morning. To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“I need you to teach Twilight physics.”

“Oh, dear me, Celestia. I could never understand physics myself. Apparently, pulling an extremely rare flower out of thin air is ’impossible’ according to our well-respected Equestrian scientists. Besides, didn’t our little Twilight pass physics before she was 10?

“First off, she passed AP physics at 12, secondly, she served my tea wrong, so I need you to teach her a class she won’t ever forget.”

“Oh, all right Celestia. I suppose I’m in the mood to help a dear old friend today. Would you be interested in watching?”

“Definitely.”

“Just cast an invisibility spell on yourself. I should have her begging for mercy in 20 minutes.”

“No funny business, or I’ll turn you to stone and use you to make a countertop.

“Hmm, you always were a feisty one, Cel. I promise not to hurt your most faithful student. Let the fun begin!”

Discord teleported himself to outside Twilight’s dining room door and put on a fake mustache. Then, he entered the room with the biggest smile possible.”

“Well, hello there. You must be Celestia’s precious purple pony princess pupil. I’m here to teach you physics.”

“Can it, Discord. Where did Princess Celestia go?”

“I have been sent by the beloved Sun Princess to teach you a physics class. My name is Mr. Cordis. Please sit down so class can begin.”

Twilight gave ‘Cordis’ a deadpan stare. “I’m already sitting.”

“Oh. Then let us begin!”

A chalkboard appeared out of nowhere. “Ms. Sparkle, where did this chalkboard come from?”

“I have no idea! It came out of nowhere!”

“Wow. Not as smart as we think we are, are we? This actually came from the ble tyrí dimension. That’s Latin for chalkboard.”

“That’s Greek for BLUE CHEESE!”

“Now, now, let’s calm down. This is physics, not foreign language.”

“How are YOU qualified to teach PHYSICS?! I almost trust Pinkie Pie to teach physics more than you. And she ’breaks the fourth wall’ every week! I don’t even know how that’s possible. How can an Earth Pony break a wall without even touching it?!”

Discord Mr. Cordis smiled. “That’s something you should ask her yourself. On that note, since you seem to trust the party pony more than me, would you like me to invite her over to assist me? We’re good friends, you know.”

NO!” Twilight screamed. Discord was crazy enough, she didn’t need Pinkie to ‘help’. “What in Tartarus did I do to deserve this?!”

“You committed the oh-so henious crime of serving the princess’ tea wrong. In my opinion, Celestia went easy on you. Normally, you’d be rotting in a cell somewhere, but your mentor decided to go easy on you and sent me to teach you a subject I am most inexperienced in. She’ll stop this madness once she sees you on your hooves, begging for forgiveness.”

Twilight didn’t need to be told twice. “I’m sorry, Celestia! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so, so sorry! Please, stop this madness! I’d rather lose my crown and go back to magic kindergarten then spend another minute listening to ‘reformed’ Discord teach me PHYSICS! I’ll do anything, ANYTHING to get him to stop!”

At that moment, Princess Celestia came out of hiding. She looked like the living sun. Even though she knew she didn’t have to anymore, Twilight bowed to her superior princess. “I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry.”

Celestia smiled. “It’s alright, Twilight, I’ll forgive you this time.”

Discord just gave a secret grin to Celestia. “I didn’t even attempt to teach her anything, but I managed to drive her crazy nonetheless.” With that, the draconaquis disappeared.

“Now, now, Twilight. Just make sure that the tea is 110 degrees next time, and you’ll be fine.”

Twilight stood up and replied, “He really didn’t annoy me that much. I just wanted him to leave so I could say that he’s had a crush on you ever since he’s been reformed.”

Celestia was shocked. “I thought he had a crush on Fluttershy.”

“Nope, been you the whole time, why do you think he was so eager to help you prank me?”

“Because he’s the Lord of Chaos.”

“Because he wants to, and I quote, ‘feel the Sun Princess’ hot buns .”

“Hot buns?”

At that moment, Celestia realized what it meant.

DISCORD!

Celestia flew off to kick Mr. Cordis’ tail, and Twilight smiled and thought, I pranked Trollestia. Yes!

Author's Notes:

If you think that 110 degrees is a high/low temperature for the tea to be served at, guess what?

I don’t drink tea.

I barely drink coffee.

And that’s just a random temperature I picked out because it seemed like the right temperature for tea.

Anyway, hope you liked it. What do you want to see next? Comment below!
