The day went on as usual after the entire "Mating Season" incident. Usual classes, usual boredom, usual lunch time but  we all know something must happen just to screw up my day.

It was the last few minutes before bell had rung to signal that History class was going to end.

Our teacher walked passed each desk placing Text books as thick as my forelegs and nearly half the size of the desk "Okay students, tomorrow we will be having a test--'' and there it was, the thing that is going to screw up my entire day,"-- on pages one hundred to one hundred fifty. It will be multiple choice with at least one hundred questions."

"Okay that shouldn't be to hard," I thought to myself while opening the book. I looked at what could have only been words, the size of ants. HOW COULD WORDS BE SO TINY!  I was in complete and utter shock knowing that I had no chance of passing this test without many, sleepless hours of studying and sheer luck of guessing.  

[WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT! THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!]

<WHERE ARE THE PICTURES!?>

I flipped through the pages there was at least one thousand words per page, I guess I could, well read and skip a few lines....

" And also students, you need to read every detail of these fifty pages, you miss out one part and you may not understand what happened."

THAT WAS BULLSHIT! STOP READING MY MIND!

~RRRRRRINNNGGGGGG~

Thank Celestia I need all the time I could get with that demon spawn of a book. I knew it, that book was created in Hell. That book gave off some nasty vibes as I walked through the halls just wanting to go to Ditzy's room and study the night away.

That book wasn't just heavy and straining my back it was pure evil. ~ ouY lliw laiF~ "Did that book just whisper something to me? Must have been my imagination," I said to myself shrugging off the thought.

[ Viewers Note: Read message backwards]

~Knock Knock~

" Ditzy...open the door...fast!"

"Hey muffin, how are things?" She opened the door small talking with me.

" I'm fine....big test...tomorrow...history...demon book!" I rushed to the bed slipping the book off onto it," Whew! That thing is heavy! How are ya Ditzy?" I focused my attention back and forth onto her and the book realizing that "It" was sinking into the bed due to it's heavy weight.

She had a smile on her face and her eyes sparkled. She wanted something," What do you need to get Ditzy?" I said with an unpleasing voice.

"Ohh nothing but since you mentioned it...." Here it comes," ....Me and the other mares need to go to the mall to get school supplies."

When she meant mares, she meant all thirteen of them, the Mane six, my group of friends and Luna and none of them had the strength to carry six mares and a chariot.

Now when she meant school supplies, that translated from a "one store trip" to a mare's definition being " LOTS OF HOURS OF TALKING, LOOKING AND TRYING ON CLOTHES AND MY OPINIONS OF WHICH I LIKED MORE" and especially with Rarity, we would be there for a long, long, long time. It would never be a problem for me but today was different and tomorrow was a test for a subject I hated.

" Sorry Ditzy, I have test tomorrow and fifty pages to memorize" I looked at her expression, the puppy dog pout, my only weakness.

" Nope that won't work on me..... No... Ditzy no means no!" She was trying even harder with the expression and I was still winning this war, simply testing my strength of mentality.

" Ditzy I said no--"

--------------------------------------------

"YES!!! I HAD TO SAY YES BRO, SHE  WON'T STOP BEGGING ME!" I shouted to SeaBreeze while both of us carried the chariots containing all thirteen mares and CrackShot.

" YOU DO KNOW WE HAVE A MAJOR TEST TOMORROW RIGHT? AND YOU HAUL MY ASS INTO THIS?!"

" I KNOW I KNOW!  SORRY BUT WE CAN STILL STUDY WHILE THEY SHOP! RIGHT?!"

" YEAH I GUESS--"

"HEY BRONIES! HOW MUCH LONGER!" Crackshot shouted from his opened window.

" HEY CLOSE THAT WINDOW!! MY MANE IS GETTING MESSED UP!! I RATHER NOT LOOK LIKE A RUFFIAN IN PUBLIC!" Rarity ordered Shot.

"STOP WHINING I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT SOMETHING!" Shot exclaimed replying to Rarity.

" I AM NOT WHINING! I AM COMPLAINING! YOU WANT TO SEE WHINING?! --"

" SHUT THAT BUCKING WINDOW QUICK SHOT! QUICK!" I interrupted Rarity's whole rant with one shout, I felt proud of myself.

"HEY BRO! I KINDA FEEL SORRY FOR CRACKSHOT!! POOR COLT WITH ALL THOSE MARES TALKING NON STOP?! SEEMS LIKE JUST THIS MORNING THAT EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED BUT WORSE!" SeaBreeze exclaimed to me.

"HAHAHAHA! YEA I KNOW! HEY LOOK THE MALL!" and with that said an idea popped up in my head," HEY BREEZE FOLLOW ME OKAY?!"

" GOTCHA BRO!"

"CRACKSHOTT!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLD ONTO MY BOOK!!!!" I shouted loud enough for him to hear, hopefully.

---------In the chariot--------

"My word, Rarity, I love how you styled your mane," Octavia stated.

"Oh Darling it's nothing much but Princess Luna's is a sight to behold!" Rarity complimented and soon every mare in my chariot was talking about their manes.

"OH CELESTIA KILL ME NOW!" Shot exclaimed.

"CRACKSHOTT!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLD ONTO MY BOOK!!!!" my voice shouted. Soon CrackShot was sitting on top of the massive book, obviously his definition of  "Hold onto".

The chariot suddenly turned left, followed by a right and a loopty- loop. Everyone was in a mess swinging side to side followed by a sudden drop of Gravity as they floated for mere seconds in different positions and ended with  tumbling in the chariot.

" FUCKKKK!!!! CELESTIA I TAKE EVERYTHING BACK I DON'T WANNA DIE!! I'M SORRY!! I WILL HOLD ONTO AND PROTECT THIS BOOK WITH MY LIFE!!!!!!" CrackShot shouted hoping "Celestia" didn't strike him down.

The chariot soon came to a stop landing as everyone exited both chariots dizzy with their manes messed up.

-------Outside the chariot-----

"OKAY BRO FOLLOW ME!!" I moved left and right catching momentum for my epic maneuver."The Barrel Roll".

From the constant swaying of left to right I got enough momentum and made an entire loop with the chariot, hearing screams and shouting," FUCKKKK!!!! CELESTIA I TAKE EVERYTHING BACK I DON'T WANNA DIE!! I'M SORRY!! I WILL HOLD ONTO AND PROTECT THIS BOOK WITH MY LIFE!!!!!!" I was proud of myself and landed in the parking lot of the mall.

The chariot soon came to a stop landing as everyone exited both chariots dizzy with their manes messed up.

Rarity ran away as far as she could have from the group hurling out her afternoon lunch. With that being seen I knew she was never going to an amusement park with me, ever.

I motioned Shot to "slowly" and "gently" place the text book which was covered in a red aura on my back.

I walked by calmly with the demon book now straining my back," Oh How lady like of you, Ms. ~Rarity~" I emphasized her name with a slightly fancy slur.

" Buck you!" she said wiping her face with a handkerchief, quickly disposing of it.

Walking to the entrance of the mall and everypony following me I needed to lay down a few rules most importantly," Okay everypony, it's now three o' clock, we meet up by the food court at five thirty to eat and leave, royalty or not I have a huge test to study, so be there before half past five or you are walking yourself home, Understood?"

Studying to me was no joking matter and I intended to show it. With that said everyone nodded, entering the gates to the mall. They had all split up into their usual groups and headed off to no where else but the "stationary store". Oh wait, no my mistake, they all squealed and ran off to "Marecy's" the number one clothing seller for mares or unlucky stallions  being questioned about their opinions or better stated as "interrogated". The unlucky stallions being me, SeaBreeze and Crackshot.

-----------------------------------

After Marecy's everyone in the mall had split up into their usual groups, Vinyl and Octavia were with Lyra and Bon Bon at the music stores , Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were in the arcade, Twilight and Princess Luna set off to the book stores where they were offered a quiet place to read and study.

CrackShot was giving his full attention to AppleJack who was surprisingly still in Marecy's trying on different clothes. Couldn't it be more obvious?

SeaBreeze and I were also trapped in Marecy's I didn't know what was worse, the studying or being interrupted from studying while Rarity, Fluttershy and Ditzy asked for our opinions and the MILLIONS of clothes they tried on. Whatever opportunity there was to take a short glace at the "Devil's Bible" or so as I called it, we took it to lighten our load for pulling off an all-nighter of studies. Oh joy.

[ If I was a complete douche bag and stranger, I would have thought you guys were friendship zone'd]

<Thee most horrible place in all of Equestria>

I ignored both their comments as to what was now about to happen caught and had my full attention.

" SeaBreeze, do I look fat in this?" Fluttershy asked calmly.

(''OH SHIT SAY NO!! SAY NO!!") the minimized version of Breeze exclaimed to him.

"No honey," He said with such confidence and a smile.

"S-so do I look skinny in this?" she said with a wry expression.

He paused thinking for the perfect answer.

[AND HE IS FUCCCKED]

<Any plans he had of sleeping together for the night are sent to the MOOOOONNNN BEYATCH!>

Ditzy came out as Fluttershy began tearing up and running back to the changing room.

"What was that all about.... Hey Muffin how do I look?" She asked me showing off her new dress.

"It looks perfect on you Bright Eyes," she gave me an appreciative smile and a quick hug walking back to the change room as Rarity came out heading towards SeaBreeze pissed vex.

"HOW COULD YOU!" *WHAP*

SeaBreeze's face was now red where a hoof had slapped him right across his cheek.

"Some of us got it and some others don't" I didn't even look at him to know what had happened.

In the other changing room AppleJack was trying on an orange dress hoping CrackShot would have liked it.

She walked out and asked," How does this look sugarcube?"

His eyes were diverted from his book trying to study and his mouth now agape," Beautiful.... Ahem* I mean it looks great on you!"

AppleJack blushed at the statement now walking towards him hoping that he would catch on with this message," Hey hun... I noticed sum'n... do ya sorta like me?" It was the leap of faith she had needed to make to get the answer she was hoping for.

" Uhhh...uhmmm..." he stuttered followed by a nod of his head.

" Well shoot ah knew ah was right...ah sorta like ya too an all but," Oh yes the famous "But"," -- I ain't the type just to run into ah relationship first thing, ah was hoping if you can be muh date for the Minor Mare Mixup!"

He understood where she was coming from and nodded," Yes Of course! and I know where you're coming from just rushin' into a relationship that fast without knowing if it's real or not."

She was shocked that he perfectly understood, maybe he was the right one for her," W'ull I'm jus' gonna get outta this fru fru-y thing and we can headout for some food,"

He nodded his head with the biggest smile ear to ear on his face.

---------------------------------------

5:30

Surprisingly everyone regrouped at the foodcourt after their little shopping trip, everyone had small bags beside their tables with the items they purchased or won taking notice of Pinkie's and Rainbow Dash's huge stuffed teddy bear which had his own personal seat.

"Okay..." I paused staring at the stuffed toy nearly twice my size," Just tell me when you guys are ready to go"

They all nodded and I turned back to my studies on a separate table completely covered by my book, page one hundred and tweny one. HA! I'm almost halfway there if I continue at this rate I could even ----

My track of thought escaped me as a huge green hoof landed on my page making me lose where I had reached. I was pissed off and looked directly at the stallion which looked like it was running on steroids.

"YO DUMBELL! THIS THE COLT WHO MESSED WITH YA!?" He shouted.

"YEA! HE BEAT MY FRIENDS AND I WHEN WERE ONLY TRYING TO TALK!" He lied blatantly to the green pony as three other ponies and a female griffin followed his trail. Okay now I was pissed.

I couldn't believe what was happening why now and here? I looked up to the stallion and asked with no emotion," And you are?"

" I'm DumBell's brother, TreadMill, the pony who is going to waste you" The name itself explained the legs with muscles popping out. Okay he was big and I was getting worried of what was going to happen.

I began walking to the mares, ignoring their presence as I had no intention to fight.

"Hey Colt Cuddler!" I stopped at the mention of that name which came from the only female voice in the group.

"Yes miss..."

"Gilda! And don't you walk away from us to your retarded mare-friend'' My mother told me never to hit a mare in my life but I was now willing to break that one rule which separated me from them.

I looked at her," She is NOT RETARDED! And it looks like this fucking group of dumb fucks doesn't even know the difference between a pony and a griffon so that they can all take turns dicking you!" The whole mall stood quiet as I walked back to CrackShot and SeaBreeze. I cared not for what the mall thought of me I was standing up for my mare friend.

I asked quietly while the group was in shock from my exclamation ," How many you think you can handle?"

" Two" SeaBreeze said.

"Two" CrackShot replied.

" Good I will handle Steroids across there,"

"And the Griffon?" Crackshot asked.

" I don't hit girls," I looked at the group of mares and giving them a hopeful smile," and I don't plan to"

"Wait SeaBreeze you don't need to fight!" Fluttershy pleaded for him not to go, she herself hated violence.

"Ye' CrackShot you don't need to, just leave them alone..." AppleJack added.

"HEY!! YOU DONE SPEAKING TO THOSE FAT COWS?!!" DumBell shouted.

They both gave the mares a look hating the words that were just heard.

"Kick Their Ass" AppleJack and surprisingly Fluttershy said.

With permission from their mare's, the two rushed their opponents as I rushed the buff stallion, flying straight towards him.

The foodcourt turned into a fight stadium everyone watching as we fought it out. There were better ways to handle this situation but this seemed like my preferred choice.

I tackled the Big Mac sized stallion and began my onslaught of hooves to his chest which he was guarding with his hooves.

I screamed in pain as talons furiously swiped deep into my unprotected back from an unwanted challenger. I was distracted with intense pain when the stallion I rushed sucker punched me and sent me flying to my table with the unholy book. The mares gasped in shock and awe as they saw me take a brutal hit.

I laid my head on the book only hearing muffled sounds and an unfocused vision of SeaBreeze holding Hoops with one hoof and repeatedly hitting him with the other while CrackShot wrapped magical energy around Score and sent him flying into another pony.

I gained back focus looking directly towards me as Gilda was flying head on at me with her talons ready to harm. In what seemed like as a blur of grey, it tackled Gilda only an inch before me her claws making a swing.

It was DITZY! YES! She had control of the fight as she held Gilda restraining her from doing any harm.

Gilda was too strong for my mare-friend as she broke out of her grasp and punched her knocking her unconscious on a table. She punched her. SHE HAD PUNCHED DITZY.

Time seemed to slow down when I saw my Ditzy get hurt. My heart felt like it dropped and my hooves tensed with raw power. My pupils became dilated as I lost all sense of control. Adrenaline pumped through every cell and inch of my body. There was no stopping what was awoken, Kill and Joy.

I grabbed the extremely heavy book with only one hoof and walked up towards the greatly built stallion. My ears picked up on the flapping of wings to my left and at the last second I swung the book at an amazing speed sending the griffon flying to a pony's shack, the same griffon that dared hit my Muffin.

I looked back to the stallion his eyes now with fear. I dropped the book and walked towards him death in my eyes. I grabbed him with one hoof and looked him in the eyes," PRAY TO CELESTIA THAT THESE PASSING SECONDS WILL BE PAINLESS. BECAUSE I KNOW IT WON'T"

I threw him onto a chair looking straight at me. I walked slowly now heading towards my victim. I punched him in the solar plexus, sending him off the chair his breathing was now cut short. I picked up the gasping body and placed him back on the chair," Don't go to sleep yet cuz' it ain't nearly finished." I looked him in the eyes and tapped his chin playfully , I walked a few inches away from the chair and bucked him straight in the same spot.

"GRAZE STOP!" a familiar voice called out.

I ignored picking up the stallion with two hooves holding his neck and placed him on the chair. All the mares, Shot and Breeze who had now finished their fight watching in horror.

" GRAZE!! PLEASE STOP!!" the voice was closer and I was beginning to recognize it as Ditzy.

I picked up the demon's text book doing it's deed as I recalled naming it "Unholy" jokingly. I looked over to the nearly passed out stallion and smiled.

A hoof suddenly grabbed mines, I looked over to the crying face of a mare, Ditzy's," Please....just stop... this isn't you..."

she threw her wings around me and sunk her head into my chest.

I dropped the text and knelt down making it easier for both of us. What was I doing? What did I become? I cried holding Ditzy. It was painful to see her cry and painful to see what almost could have been.

I picked her up and said," I'm sorry...it's my fault this happened."

She shook her head and smiled," No it's not I'm proud of you for standing up for all of us." She pointed at the mares who were now smiling back, giving appreciative nods listening in on our conversation," I'm proud you stood up for me, I just don't want you to come close to killing anyone. It isn't you."

I cried more in sudden realization. I shook my head and promised her," I would never kill anyone, it isn't like us ponies to do that but I would always stand up for my friends and I know," I looked over to Breeze and Shot," that they would always be there for me."

I picked both Ditzy and myself up walking away  from the scene as Crack and Shot joined us with the other mares on the table.

"Darling, I know you tried to stand up for us but.. you really took a nasty blow and got us worried," Rarity said.

"I know it was worth it,"

"Hey Graze, you got some blood right by your mouth," Vinyl said.

" Leave it, I will take care of it later, I'm just glad we took care of that situation before it got out of hand."

"My hero, thank you SeaBreeze for standing up for me," Fluttershy looked at SeaBreeze and kissed him on the lips wrapping her wings around him.

" Thank ya kindly CrackShot, ya stood up for me an' ah have a lil something for ya," AppleJack grabbed CrackShot and passionately kissed him.

It soon ended when he asked," So ... does this mean we are..."

She nodded slowly and continued kissing him interrupting his speech.

I broke every special moment by saying," Alright everypony! Let's head on home we still have to study for our exam." I hated to be the Killjoy but someone had to take the role.

We all walked away from the food court, CrackShot walking with my book in his magical aura, I paused to look at DumBell and walked towards the lying body on the floor.

" Listen to me well you saddistic piece of shit, I told you to leave my friends alone, the next time you dare even try to harm anyone of us..... Pray to Celestia and Luna I don't find you or I will fucking end you and that green piece of shit known as your brother," I gave him a quick kick in the stomach and galloped off to meet my friends in parking lot.

I flew off with the chariot packed with my lovely passengers and a huge stuffed teddy bear with only one thing on my mind. Studying.
