School of Hard Mauds

Pinkie Pie, more or less, still gets along greatly with Maud's new boyfriend Mudbriar, but Pinkie was quick to noticed that he acted extremely reluctent about being given a customary tour of the Friendship School with Maud that Pinkie wanted to give to her for awhile. That is because of something the Crusaders accsidently uncovered late one night while preparing a speical cutie mark discovery activity with a camper for their camp from a daredevil family. It was discovered that Mudbriar is the distent nefpew of a former E.E.A. member, Chancellor School O'Hardknocks, a once destin new High Chancellor to replace High Chancellor University, but when his assendion party began, it was quickly cut short when University ordered the group to disban in due to what occured with Neighsay. Not helping that O'Hardknocks has amongst Neighsay's personal peers, so because of it, even when O'Hardknocks wasn't seriously behind Neighsay's racisum but was just as much as a rules follower as Neighsay was and a firm believer of the E.E.A.'s broken ways, that means that the E.E.A. can't accept his High Chanellorship should it reband. In wanting revenge for being denied his chance, he aims to ruin the shcool by finding out it's valuable secrets and creating a friendship school of his own that will be twice as more engaging then Twilight's, planning to get the Shcool of Friendship to crumble by having it out competed, but since he can't just waltz in, he desided to have Mudbriar, or what he refers to as "That Weird Nefpew" from one of his many sisters, and have him date Maud to get close to Pinkie, ergo, get close to the Friendship School. O'Hardknocks then forces Mudbriar to go along with it anyway or else he'll break Mudbriar's pet stick, Twiggy. The Crusaders told the discovery to Pinkie Pie who wants to warn Maud, but when she realises that it would break Maud's heart and risk getting Mudbriar to be dragged down with O'Hardknocks, she needs to find a way to save both the school AND Maud's relationship from an embittered should've-been High Chancellor. Can the Lougers help with this?

Chapter 1: Maudbriar Has Set Sail
Maud's home.
 * Maud and Mudbrair were seen in Maud's Cavern home, being served to a lovely dinner by the Jewelerfish.
 * Duke Topaz: "Is this lovely dinner to your liking, dear love birds?"
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, ponies are of the Equine family. Birds are avians."
 * Duke Topaz: ".... Well, it, was an expression."
 * Maud: ".... Mind Mudbrair, Topaz. He has a cute little quirk of pointing out tecnecalities."
 * Squire Ruby: ".... We noticed. Kinda no wonder Pinkie had a spaz attack over this guy."
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, she was next to me when she had it."
 * Duke Topaz: "Yes well, again, expression. Try, not to take them too litterally friend."
 * Mudbrair: ".... Tecnecally, we only know eachother for a few hours."
 * Duke Topaz: "..... Wow. He really does point out tecnecalities alot."
 * Mudbrair: "I know, I know, it gets abit much, is just.... I grew up from a very logical family that were the primary shorce why I have the qouted, "Quirk", you speak of. They're often leaders of many education or science related groups."
 * A snarky looking Pearled Jewelerfish: "(Showing up) Are they sticks in the mud too, Wise Guy?"
 * Duke Topaz: "LADY PEARL?! PLEASE?!"
 * Mudbrair: "..... Tecnecally, they were ponies. I wouldn't be able to be born if they were unsentient piece of broken off tree branch in wet soil made by the rains."
 * Lady Pearl: "..... (Laughs snarkfully!)..... THIS GUY'S A GOLDMINE?!"
 * Duke Topaz: "PEARL?! PLEASE?! THIS IS A GUEST?! AND THE BOYFRIEND OF THE PONY THAT FREED US FROM GEOATOA?!"
 * Lady Pearl: "Well, if ya hadn't noticed, WE'RE STILL NOT GRIFFINS ANYMORE?! WE'RE STILL F*****G JEWELERFISH?! I MISSED HAVING WINGS AND A BEAK AND TALONS?! I MISSED FEATHERS?! I MISSED, NOT BEING A CRAWLING GREEDMONGER'S WET DREAM?!"
 * Duke Topaz: "Pearl, please, you know this curse can't be helped! We made the mistake of listening to Geoatoa back then, and we paid the price!"
 * Lady Pearl: "DOESN'T MAKE THIS LIFE ANYMORE FAIR?! (Crawls off angerly!)"
 * Maud: "..... Care to explain who that was?"
 * Duke Topaz: "(Sighs).... That's my half-daughter, Pearl. Or Lady Pearl as it is. As you heard, she's..... Extremely, bitter about still being a Jewelerfish even with the Stone's fusing with that broken Midus Orb. I try to ensure she that this curse isn't something even a purifived stone can revert, but..... She really misses being a Griffin."
 * Mudbriar: I can tell. And technically, the term is 'Jewelfish'. You said 'Jewelerfish', Griffin interpretation of the name aside. Jewelfish in the wild are found all over underground caves rich in gems and gemstones. They make their nests in broken down gems the same way dragons make their nests in treasure. They also make up their diet like dragons. The only time they're seen on the surface is the same kind of tree where me and Maud met. Geodendronis versicolor, The Jewel Tree. Native to Draconia, and introduced globally by dragon farmers, but paradoxically still rare. They are renowned and quite edible pests to dragons.
 * Squire Ruby: Hence why it's a curse.
 * Duke Topaz:... Well, aren't you a well of information?
 * Mudbriar: I have seen the Well of Information created by the Alicorn God, Prince Cognizance, or Prince Knowitall if your tongue is unrefined, even though ponies say it's a blasphemous name. It isn't THAT very impressive, but it has it's charm.
 * Duke Topaz:... Okay, I feel like I'm done with this conversation. The sea bees might need something. (Crawls away)
 * Squire Ruby: "Duh, I feel needed too! (Crawls away!)"
 * Maud: "..... It's okay, Mudbrair. They just need to get used to you like how Pinkie did."
 * Mudbrair: "Don't worry, it's not the first instence. It has happened approximently 799.999.090.8272.73261 and a half times. In laymen's terms..... I'm so used to it, even I can give an accreate number for how often ponies or even non-ponies have me these simular reactions."
 * Maud: "Well, no one means it to be rude. They're just having a hard time to understand you."
 * Mudbrair: "I'd imagine so. Ponies are commenly emotional creatures. It's a rare oddity for them to act like us, me being a prodigy of science and education leaders, and you suffering from an extremely rare mental defect. But at least Pinkie was the 0.1.9829% chance that somepony has actively tried to get along with me dispite my contrasting behavior for her, albeit still coping with my quirks."
 * Maud: "Well it's like you said. Ponies are emotional creatures. Pinkie's... (A flashback of Pinkie's antics was seen, canon and otherwise).... Beyond not an exception to this rule."
 * Mudbrair: "Pinkie Pie is clearly a morally wholesome pony. Or in laymen's terms, a good pony. Though, if I'm permitted to change the subject, I have to inform you that a familial unit designated as "My Uncle", is coming to visit Ponyville. He expressed some interest to seeing you and Pinkie Pie, along with seeing the Friendship School, even though I tried to tell him that it's not that spiecal other then being the first school to defy the E.E.A.... And survived the odds of not being shutdown for being unaccredited there after. If albeit due to the E.E.A.'s abrupt disbanding."
 * Maud: "I see. Well, Pinkie and her friends would love to show your uncle the school and show themselves."
 * Mudbrair: "Just keep in mind, he tends to be.... Irritable. He was once promised a prodominiate position, but then was denied of it for a series of events beyond his control. He also doesn't want me to talk about it, espeically with or without him.... Ever."
 * Maud: "My sister Pinkie's very good at making ponies feel better. She even once cured a grouchy griffin of his tumor that was keeping him from exspearience joy."
 * Mudbrair: "Oh yes, I heard about that event. Poor but lucky Gryffindor. And though I still question the science and logic behind a form of canceredised brain parts being able to prohibit emotion and that Pinkie out of all the other cheerful sorts was able to cure him, I remember that Equestria is a world were Impossable and Improbable are more suggestions then fact thanks to the existence of mana, or magic for the more simpler folk. Though I estimate my uncle... Would be a bit of a hard pony to impress. Just, trust me. My father once suggested that he was borned without a sense of humor, though logically, I think it's more like he grew up without experiencing humor and is conditioned to never be easily amused. He does laugh, but, they tend to be, strange sounding. Not nessersarly monotone, but, they give you a feeling that his morality leaves, alot of be desired."
 * Maud:... He sounds like an uncle that I would have as well.
 * Mudbriar: He does. He really does. Come. We must meet him there.
 * Maud: "Okay."

Chapter 2: Mudbrair's Uncle/Another CMC Adventure
Train Station. Maud's Paradise Cavern. Ponyville. Bedtime and Sunny Side Up Inn School of Friendship Maud's Cave Cozy Glow's Room French Narrator: The Next Morning... A typical Cutie Mark Crusader Later. Inside Inn. Underneath CMC Camp Maud's Cave Home Stanly's Cave French Narrator: Meanwhile...
 * An embittered slender pony with an old timy mustache and a bended graduation hat was seen arguing with the conductor!
 * Pony: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY LUGGACE IS MISSING?!"
 * Conductor: "Claim down sir, it's just, sometimes passingers' luggaage can end up being, missplaced. Do realise that your not the only pony who uses the train."
 * Pony: "..... I, have to put up, with hours, of crying babies, chattering betties, hearing about teenage druma about some "cute boy" named "Sprinkle Minkle", A NAUGHTY BRAT PUT A TACK ON MY SEAT WHEN I WAS USING THE FACILITIES, Food Service SPILLED wine on my good suit, my hat got bented on the ride here, I nearly suffricated under the hot towel, AND my nostrels are still TAINTED from the stenche of that pig farmer THAT WAS ALLOWED ON THAT TRAIN?! WHY DO WE FARM PIGS ANYWAY?! WE DON'T EAT MEAT?!"
 * Conductor: "Well, they're good at hunting down truffles and-"
 * Pony: "AND NOW, TO TOP OFF ALL THIS BAD LUCK, (Starts turning red like a boiling themonintor), MY LUGGAGE, WITH MY STRESS PILLS, ARE MISSING?! (His mane caught on fire!) DO YOU NOT REALISE THAT I SUFFER OF MASSIVE STREES ANXITY?!"
 * Conductor: ".... (Gulp).... I do now, sir."
 * Pony: "THAT;'S SCHOOL O'HARDKNOCKS TO YOU?! OF THE PROUD AND SCIENCETIFIC O'HARDKNOCKS BLOOD LINE?! (Foams at the mouth)! ANDISHOULDINFORMYOUTHATTHISISTHEMOSTAMBYSALSERVICEIEVER- (Gets pounced by a suddenly appearing nurse pony that pulled out a needle filled with medicine and injected it into him, which calmed him down)..... Reshived....."
 * Nurse Pony: "..... Sorry. Nurse Care Giver, I'm designated as Mr. O'Hardknock's, erm, well, care giver. You see, his family have a long history of having heart and brain complications that sometimes, if they get too stressed out, they have, abit of a meltdown."
 * Conductor: ".... Those are some extreme complications if THAT happens!"
 * Nurse Care Giver: "That's why he takes his "Stress Pills", they're actselly cardiac and cranium stabilisers for Ponies of, his health."
 * O'Hardknocks got up.
 * O'Hardknocks: "So I cannot stress enough, why it's impourent for my luggage to be found, this min-"
 * A clumsy baggage boy looking like Snails arrived and tripped down!
 * Baggage Boy: "S-s-s-s-s-s-Sorry for the delay, Mr. O'Hardknocks. Your luggage was under alot of other ponies' stuff."
 * O'Hardknocks: "(Grabs his luggage) THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE THE INCOMPIDENCE OF NOT GETTING MY LUGGAGE ON TIME, YOU MORONIC- (Care Giver calmed him down with a back rub).... (Sigh)..... Don't expect a tip from me then. (To the Conductor) And you?! I will be sure to have a discussion with your manager about this!"
 * Conductor: "There's no need, we have a complaint booth for those with an unsatisfived train ride will be given speical accomindations for future travel."
 * O'Hardknocks: "Good! Then I shall find this booth admititetly! (Storms away from the coductor as Nurse Care Giver quietly gave the Baggage Boy his tip for O'Hardknocks as she caught up with him)...."
 * Nurse Care Giver: "Mr. O'Hardknocks, we talked about getting too stressed out."
 * O'Hardknocks: "Well excuse me if I didn't enjoyed a GOOD train ride?! Ugh, I missed the old days where I can just travel on a private canterlot chariot as provided by the Assusiation! I enjoy a luxerious ride as I am treated to a find eatery by private service Sprites, and get back-rubs, and not leaving from it smelling like spilled wine and pig filth?! AND MOST CERTAINLY THE DAMN HOT TOWELS DIDN'T TRIED TO SUFFICATE ME?!"
 * Nurse Care Giver: "Mr. O'Hardknocks!"
 * O'Hardknocks: "Okay okay, fine, I'll calm down! I'll calm down even quicker when I find that complaints booth!"
 * Nurse Care Giver: Provided you don't relapse when you start the complaining.
 * O'Hardknocks: "Well that depends on how co-operative the holder of the booth is! I can't promise to be phaient to an incompident complaints reshipient!"
 * Nurse Care Giver: "Well trust me, a complaints reshiver is usually a very attentive person. But, at least try if that's the case, if not nessersarly for me, but for your family. Your sister had grown VERY worried about you as of late. Your meltdowns had been getting worse since.... What happened with the assusiation."
 * O'Hardknocks: I WAS ABOUT TO BE ANOTHER HIGH CHANCELLOR UNTIL THE ENTIRE THING COLLAPSED!!! I WAS CHEATED!!!!
 * Nurse Care Giver: Being promoted at a bad time is nothing to be upset about.
 * O'Hardknocks: YES IT IS!!! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE PROMOTED AND THEN YOUR ENTIRE CAREER SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY?!? Don't tell me you'd take it well.
 * Nurse Care Giver: "Well, I, won't deny that I would be, discouraged, and, abit disgruntled, but, I would try to undertstand the nuance, and, in the case of the Assusiation.... It had a problem with not letting the Fear Wars be in the past, and well.... You need to understand that Celestia's parents didn't wanted to risk Neighsay to maintain legal athority."
 * O'Hardknocks: "WELL THEY COULD'VE JUST AS SIMPLY HAD HIM FIRED AND TAKEN TO THAT WRETCHED ASYLUM?! THEY DIDN'T HAD TO MAKE THAT AGING FOOL HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT THE E.E.A. AS WELL?! I mean, as much as I had a kinship with Neighsay, I am NOT afraid to admit that I KNEW that mindset of his would drag the rest of us down to a bad place?!"
 * Nurse Care Giver: It's all in the past.
 * O'Hardknocks: IT WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO!!!!
 * Nurse Care Giver: It's still the past.
 * O'Hardknocks: Ugh! I can see why University's adopted sister is gone. His choices harmed us. Because of him, I worked hard for nothing. All that potential, wasted. All because of him, Neighsay, the Celestial family, and these stupid ponies.
 * Nurse Care Giver: Wait, how was this their fault?!
 * O'Hardknocks: They ill-prepared the school. It's everypony's fault. University for being such a fool, Neighsay for ruining our image, the Celestial family for not offering a better solution, and THESE ponies for not giving a complete head-start and rushing the foundation of the entire school.
 * Nurse Care Giver: That sounds like treason, sir. Neighsay got punished because his actions were defying royal orders about a new method of spreading friendship.
 * O'Hardknocks: They can all bite me! Princess Twilight is basically forcing the philosophy of friendship on other races because she thinks our origin means that we can just narcissistically name ourselves the dominant race like some Jehovah's Witnesses with guns.
 * Nurse Care Giver: The entire point of the school is to bring races together and help each other in a natural flow.
 * O'Hardknocks: They'll have to prove that because they haven't shown anything to do so otherwise. Twilight is still at odds with Queen Novo!
 * Nurse Care Giver: "For a wrong Twilight earnestly did in desperation."
 * O'Hardknocks: Ponies still treat griffins like they're lying greedy mercenaries or con artists since the last Convocation of Creatures brought a serious controversy!
 * Nurse Care Giver: "It's because a rampent greed problem makes Griffins misproportionaly like that, sir. It's been like that since they lose their idol, sir."
 * O'Hardknocks: Ponies still hesitate to be around Changelings!
 * Nurse Care Giver: "Only because they're worried that Chrysalis would come back into power and undermine their reformation."
 * O'Hardknocks: Yaks are still in a seriously bad relationship since the near-war orchestrated by Yakbrain!
 * Nurse Care Giver: "They are making good efferts for amends though."
 * O'Hardknocks: Dragons are still hard to get along with!
 * Nurse Care Giver: "That's purely because they're aggressive and independent creatures. They're not yet, used to pony interactions."
 * O'Hardknocks: And the Panans are still not willing to make up for the attack of the Storm King.
 * Nurse Care Giver: "Well, given the implications that the Storm King wasn't a unigte case and that he has a family, it's possable that the Panans are not in any condition to do so."
 * O'Hardknocks: My point being, Giver.... Nothing has changed since October 6th last year. 10 months of racial tension, and these problems are still here. So, this will be their last chance to make up for it. If they fail, then they're going to be in big trouble I'l make an exsample out of them for sure.
 * Nurse Care Giver: Sir, isn't that an extreme thing to say?
 * O'Hardknocks: Call it whatever you want. However this problem of mine ends, it ends now. And no one is standing in my wa- (Bumps face first into Maud Pie)..... What the?!
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, Uncle.... My girlfriend's standing in the way."
 * Maud: "..... Sorry if I stood in the way."
 * O'Hardknocks: "(Gets back from Maud)..... (Quietly) OH great. As if my weirdo nefpew wasn't bad enough. Now he has an even weirder girlfriend! (Unenfusiasticly) Hello, Nefpew Mudbrair. How's your stick study?"
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, it's twigology, the study of twigs. It's actselly a smaller unspoken sub-genre of Treeology, the study of trees, which-"
 * O'Hardknocks: "Yeah yeah, I get it, I get it! Spare me the details! Now, once I find a complaint booth for my bad travels here, I would like to know where your girlfriend's house is since I know you haven't moved to ponyville yet since your still in Twigology school..... Of which I question why the E.E.A. approved of it, along with the Rocktology University."
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, both twigology and rockology can teach ponykind alot of how stone and wood is formed as they are now, and-"
 * Maud: "Did you say E.E.A.?"
 * O'Hardknock: ".... (Sarcasticly) You got quite a catch there, Nepfew. Can't imagine the kids..... (Seriously) Are you slow or something, child? You heard right. The E.E.A. A group, that I was once apart off, before Sparkle and her misfit friends, (Gets nearly intense again) RUINED IT FOR ME?! (Nurse Care Giver gives another backrub, shushing him)....... And left me in a state of personal misery."
 * Maud: "..... Mudbriar..... A word?"
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, it's two words, Mud being for wet soil, and Briar, being any of a number of prickly scrambling shrubs, especially the sweetbrier and other wild roses. (Maud cleared her throat)..... Oh, you mean you want to have a private conversation not heard by those that you don't want to hear. Uh, you'll have to excuse us, Uncle, and Hello to you too, Miss Care Giver. (Care Giver gave a brief happy wave and resumed giving the backrub there after as Maud dragged Mudbrair)."
 * Maud: "..... Mudbrair, I have concerns about your uncle."
 * Mudbrair: "Let me guess..... It's related to the E.E.A. and your sister's involvement with the school, correct? Well, be assured that tecnecally, my uncle doesn't back Neighsay's fear wars based mistrust to other races."
 * Maud: ".... But he didn't sounded like he was pleased with the school anyway."
 * Mudbrair: "Well, Uncle was always an, instint results kinda guy. He kinda thinks that issues like things involving race would get better overnight and that better relations with nations is instintantious."
 * Maud: ".... He clearly has trouble realsing that like a stilagmite, or a great oak, that great things don't happen as soon as possable. They take time."
 * Mudbrair: "That is true. But uncle was, never good with waiting. Now, tecnecally, I already know what your going to say, but, don't worry, he could barely handle a typical day in public trasnportation. He's in no shape to engage in a nefarious activity. His condition, isn't equistly superior."
 * Maud: "... Mudbrair, I trust you enough to understand that. I'm just worried for my sister's sake. She really likes spending time in that School. It would desistate her if she loses out on making those students happy."
 * Mudbrair: "Well tecnecally, it would desistate Twilight more cause it's her school, but I do understand what you mean. I assure you, the worse my uncle ever is, is being irritable and miserable. Otherwise, he's has harmless as an Twiggy."
 * Maud: ".... I'll take your word for it."
 * Maud and Mudbrair reapprouched O'Hardknocks.
 * Mudbrair: "Uncle, I felt that maybe you already accumulated alot of stress already, so maybe it's best to get some rest."
 * O'Hardknocks: ".... Oh, fine. That complaints' booth is likely on a unionated break anyway. I'll contend with it when I come back here. So, about your Girlfriend's house, does it have a guest room?"
 * Mudbrair: "Well, tecnecally..... It's not even a house. Nor in ponyville. It's more, ponyville-ajacent."
 * O'Hardknocks: "(Glass breaks as O'hardknocks made a surprised face)..... Wha....."
 * O'Hardknock: "YOUR GIRLFRIEND LIVES IN A CAVE?!"
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, it's a cavern...."
 * O'Hardknocks: "..... A CAVERN IS NOT A REAL HOME FOR PONIES?! THAT MAKES YOUR GIRLFRIEND A HOMELESS BUM?! IF YOU INTEND TO HAVE CHILDREN, YOU NEED TO PROVIDE THEM A HOUSE TO BE SAVE FROM PREDATORS AND- (Nurse Care Giver gives him a sip of water with a pill in it)..... And pestilence, and the cold, and vermin, and who knows what matter of horror lerks here?!"
 * Maud: "In my defence, it's an improvement from the Ghastly Gorge, even when it had it's own fair share of interesting rocks."
 * O'Hardknocks: "....... DO YOUR PARENTS KNOW ABOUT THIS, NEPFEW?!"
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, I'm still planning on how I would introduse Maud to them."
 * O'Hardknocks: "THEN I WILL SPEAK FOR THEM AND SAY THAT YOU AS A O'HARDKNOCK CAN'T MERRY THIS HERMIT?! HOW WILL YOU FEED YOURSELVES?!"
 * Mudbrair: "Well, tecnecally, this undergrounw valley does grow some subterrainian foods here. Duke Topaz served some this morning."
 * O'Hardknocks: "YOU EATEN SOMETHING FROM THE UNDERGROUND?! THAT COULD HAVE ADVERSED EFFECTS NOT KNOWN ON THE SURFACE?! DON'T YOU HAVE JOBS OR ANYTHING?!"
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, I'm still in Twigology Classes, and Maud's a rockologiests."
 * O'Hardknocks: "BUT WHO DOES SHE WORK FOR?!"
 * Maud: ".... I'm freelance. I work for whoever needs my services."
 * O'Hardknocks: "..... THEN WHY ARE YOU IN A CAVERN?!"
 * Maud: "..... I don't do well with communites socially. Everypony tends to think I'm weird."
 * O'Hardknocks: "(Gets heavily stressed again) YA DON'T SAY?! (Giver gives him another sip of the pilled water)..... Well your appearent social anxity's no excuse to be like a cavepony! This place is no place for a family! What if there's danger?!"
 * Mudbrair: "Fret not, uncle. Maud's sister gotten rid of a situation with a giant cursed Goldster from a forgotten legend a good while back, so there's only a deserted bandit kingdom and a thriving subterainian ecosystem beyond this part of the cavern."
 * Silence.......
 * O'Hardknocks was seen stomping angerly on the verge of a fit as Nurse Care Giver keeps up, reading another shot!
 * Maud and Mudbrair looked on.
 * Mudbrair: "..... Tecnecally, he doesn't hate your Cavern. He's just used to modern comferts."
 * Maud: "..... I may not feel emotions, but I am feeling a sea of discontent with him."
 * Mudbrair: "(Sighs)..... Your not the first to feel that way. My uncle has an unfortunate history of having ponies either fear him or louthe him because of his, anger issues. Again, tecnecally, he didn't say he hated your place, he's just use to modern convinences. Hence why he's trying to find an Inn in ponyville.... Speaking of which, did Pinkie ever mentioned Ponyville having an Inn?"
 * Maud: "Just the Bed & Breakfest Place: Bedtime and Sunny Side Up' Inn, the home and business of Moonlight Raven and Sunshine Smiles. They're a nice odd couple. Be ashame if your uncle scares the daylights out of them."
 * Mudbrair: "Well in that case, I better help Miss Care calm my Uncle down faster. (Trots up ahead of Maud, who sighed monotoned, but still looks concerned dispite a neutrol face.)"
 * Maud:... (Mudbriar came out) How did it go?
 * Mudbriar: Uncle O'Hardknocks is sound asleep. Not easy for Giver either. Sometimes it's nice that he's on my father's side.
 * Maud: And you're sure he's not a danger to the School?
 * Mudbriar: He's no more dangerous to them as a Jewelfish to a dragon. High Chancellor University did send him here for what I can presume is a nice talk about the tarnished relationship the EEA gained.
 * Maud: Well what concerns me is that with the craziness that goes on at that school, anything can happen. They can find ways to make him crack like a rock.
 * Mudbriar: I have always said that Uncle O'Hardknocks's mind is as hard as a rock, but as fragile as a twig. He has an unstable attitude, but I assure you that he is not one to resort to Neighsay's level.
 * Maud:...... I hope you're right.
 * Mudbrair: "Also, tecnecally, we are lucky that Smiles and Raven are being paient with us about it."
 * Maud: "They're used to grouchy costamers at this point. They work in an Inn after all. There's always bound to be that one unpleasent visitor every now and again."
 * Twilight: Alright, girls. Before we head back home for the night, let's be reminded one more time that High Chancellor University is bringing in a former EEA member.
 * Applejack: And that still sounds like an accident waiting to happen. We're seriously going to welcome an ex-E.E.A. member here?
 * Twilight: Look, I know this sounds risky, but Celestia had ensured me that the worse Mr. O'Hardknocks is, is extremely strict for the rules, and, extremely ill-tempered and some, health issues. Mr. University Spirit has promised to put him in his place if he gets, problematic.
 * Applejack: Yeesh, he sounds like he shouldn't even be working.
 * Twilight: And I should also add he's neouriously stubbern. Kinda expected from ponies as extremely dedicated to their work as the O'Hardknocks. Anyway, University told me this member is not a very happy one. In fact, he has absolutely no sense of humor.
 * Pinkie: Please, I did cure Count Gryffindor of that benign tumor that made him a grouch. This guy's NO problem.
 * Twilight: Well this time, no tumor is involved on what's wrong with Mr. O'Hardknocks. He was unable to become the next high chancellor of the EEA before it was disbanded. And likely, he doesn't exactly have extremely high opinions of us since our school's refuseal to bow to the E.E.A. was basicly a catalyst for that. Don't expect a welcoming party to have him forget something like that, cause, though I'm not a gambling mare, I can safely bet that he is going to be.... Extremely bitter.
 * Rainbow Dash: Ohh, boohoo, he didn't get to be a high chancellor of an organisation tainted by Fear Wars mindsets, big whoop.
 * Twilight: Rainbow Dash, this is serious. Keep in mind that Mr. O'Hardknocks has exspeariened incrised health complicates since his dreams were shattered. Both of those, might not be very good for a pony's purity, espeically one like one of the O'Hardknocks are are rumored to have extremely little to no friends outside of their family! University brought him here because he was afraid he'd become just like Neighsay. We have to show him that it's not our fault. If we screw this up, then-
 * Rainbow Dash: Then what? If he does just swear revenge, I'll simply pin him and fly his ass right into Black Stallion Asylum. One episodic adventure spared.
 * Twilight:... (Sighs) You don't get it. He is a personal peer of Neighsay. He'll likely join him, even if we do or do not send him there. And again, he is in no condition for that kind of life, Rainbow Dash! He might not handle the incompidence of Neighsay's goons all too well nor deal with the stress of being an enemy of Equestria! He could die if he takes too much! The point of this whole EEA ordeal is to heal the damage done to it, not make the wounds bigger. We must prove to him that this is a safe interracial school and prevent a bigger infamy to them. We can't risk more EEA treachery, so we have to play this carefully.
 * Applejack: "So, if incase he is trying anything, what's the best alternative to Black Staillian Asylum if it'll only risk Neighsay getting a member for his possie?"
 * Twilight: "University has said he can handle it. The one thing all E.E.A. members share, is universeal respect for him. Even Neighsay would not knowingly disrespect him, well, back then, at least. Even if O'Hardknocks was embittered enough that he would try something, University will handle it. Besides, Yaysay considers him impourent for his own verson of the E.E.A. that won't be so against the shcool."
 * Pinkie: "Well based on what you said, Twilight, this guy sounds like he's gonna be a hard fix. I think we're likely gonna get some trouble with him first before we even get CLOSE to get this guy to better like us."
 * Twilight: "Don't worry. Professor Buzzord has prepared a soothing panic room to put O'Hardknocks in incase that happens. He figured we would use it for him or other E.E.A. members we would have trouble with in the foreseeable future."
 * Applejack: "And, your sure he woould do this away from students, right?"
 * Twilight: "Don't worry, I told him to build the room in an unused hallway, so there's little risk of casualties! (An exploudsion was heard)..... Collatteral damage, unfortunately, is still unavoidable."
 * Rarity: "(Sighs), Ya know, the sooner we find the Professor a very attentive and compident assistent for him that'll home reduse mindless accsidents, the better!"
 * Raindow Dash: "Doesn't he already have the Iguana, and the turtle, and his cool robot hat?"
 * Rarity: "Well yes, but Igmar's more of a butler, Kurtle's too supportive, and Hatty, while compident, is, quickly prone to panic."
 * Twilight: "That will be something for another time, girls. For now, we have to worry about making the school presentiable to Mr. O'Hardknocks. And that means asking the students to behavie around them. I worried they would have a sour opinion about any E.E.A. member not like University, fearing they're all abunch of Neighsays!"
 * Applejack: "To be frank Twilight, since you said that O'Hardknocks was one of Neighsay's peers, he doesn't sound like an improvement from him neither."
 * Rarity: Yeah, this guy sounds like the kind of pony that'll just snap no matter how courteous we are. He sounds like he has the mind of a yak and the heart of a dragon.
 * Spike: Wow, really-
 * Rarity: Besides you and the students at the school, Spike. Point is, we might be doomed anyway. Why can't we just have University take care of this?
 * Twilight: This isn't just about the both of them. This is about us and the school. We have to set the example that's not what Neighsay said, or the EEA might not let us live it down.
 * Rainbow Dash: That's their problem, not ours. They can work it out without us.
 * Twilight: Rainbow Dash, could there be a reason you aren't taking this seriously?
 * Rainbow Dash: Uh, yeah. What's serious about a whiny joke who blames us for something Neighsay did? What did we ever do that even earns us their constant harassment?
 * Twilight: Ugh, Rainbow, I expected you to take this more seriously than you are.
 * Rainbow Dash: Look, this will be a cakewalk anyway. University can ease any tension and we just have to appear very responsible and safe. Done. No worries.
 * Rarity: How could you be so confidant about this?
 * Rainbow Dash: Because we've dealt with worse than anything in the shameless EEA. One simple pony can't possibly hope to undermine us. Others have tried. If he did swear revenge, nobody will give a flying feather about his sob story, and he'd be nothing. He doesn't exactly represent the EEA as a whole.
 * ???: No, but he certainly comes close. (A familiar pony came in)
 * Spike:... Hey, you're that Agent 8 guy for the EEA that snooped around during our Yakotaur adventure, aren't you?
 * Agent 8: I have a name, you know. My name is Eightball Roll. And I came... To check up on my baby cousin Cozy.
 * Twilight: Wait, as in Cozy Glow? You're her cousin?
 * Eightball: Yep. I'm her guardian after all since her parents aren't around much. My dad in the EEA made me an agent because of my good magic skill and calculative mind. Wanted something better for me than just being a gambler in Las Pegasus. Premature retirement until Yaysay gets everything to work again spares me some gambling time.
 * Twilight:... Then what's this about O'Hardknocks?
 * Eightball: Well, he's a pretty infamous attention attractor. He causes scenes that have always reached the EEA. If he was to mastermind something, it's bound to anger the scattered councilors out there. Me and my dad in Las Pegasus don't mind too much about it. I just stick around in Ponyville watching for any EEA funny business. It gets boring sometimes, but, it has perks. I met myself a nice sneaky mare with a knack for spying like me.
 * Pinkie: OooOOOOOOOoooooh! What's her name?
 * Eightball: Hidden Shadow.
 * Rainbow Dash: (Everyone was surprised)... YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ONE OF PRED JUDU DES' ADOPTED DAUGHTERS?!?
 * Eightball: Wait, THE Pred Judu Des? She didn't mentioned that!
 * Fluttershy: "Likely because she was afraid you wouldn't wanted to be around her because of Pred's.... Controversey."
 * Eightball: But didn't he reform?
 * Spike: "Well, yes, but he still has alot to recover from."
 * Eightball:.... I'll uh, be sure to talk to Shade about that. I also came to tell you something recent. O'Hardknocks is the uncle of a pony that mentioned one of you. I think his name was, Mudburner, Mudbramble-
 * Pinkie: Mudbriar?
 * Eightball: Yeah, that's it!
 * Pinkie: Oh, yeah, my sister Maud's boyfriend, I met him once and he was really- WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT, O'HARDKNOCKS IS HIS UNCLE?!?
 * Eightball: "You didn't know? He was of the O'Hardknocks clan, ponies that are often leaders in science and education groups, how did you not know this?"
 * Pinkie: "I WAS NEVER GIVEN HIS LAST NAME?!"
 * Eightball: "Ohhhhh.... Guess we both learned something new then?"
 * Pinkie: ".... UGHHH?! AND JUST WHEN I WAS GETTING USED TO HIM?! NOW I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MUDBRAIR OF ALL PONIES BEING A DIRTY E.E.A. SPY?!"
 * Eightball: "Ahem!"
 * Pinkie: ".... No offence."
 * Eightball: "Thank you."
 * Rarity: "Oh come now, Pinkie, Mudbrair doesn't look capable to be so malcious. Also, Maud, for her lack of emotions, is clearly a smart, if sometimes hard to understand, pony. I think she would've known if Mudbrair had undesireable intentions. Besides, hard to understand Mudbrair himself is, he does show genuine feelings for Maud. I think the revelation of his unfortunate genepool, just comes in a bad time?"
 * Pinkie: "BUT GUYS?! DON'T YA THINK IT'S TOO COWINKY-DINKY THAT SHE SHOWS UP SOMETIME AFTER WE HAVE THE SCHOOL UP?! HE LITTERALLY APPEARED AN EPISODE AFTER THE TWO PARTER?!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Well if he is a dirty spy, (To Eightball) No Offence, (Back to Pinkie), Ya think he would've already done something by now. The closest he had from E.E.A. trouble was from Neighsay, thrice! The Season 8 debute, the time he got involved with Segrego, and only recently with those clones of Chrysalis'! And we're only worrying about this Hardknocks guy NOW!"
 * Pinkie: "But that's what he WANTS us to think?! What if apawn the school's destruction, he dumps Maud and brokes her heart?!"
 * Applejack: "Look, if your that worried about it, why not discuss this with Maud herself? She's family after all, and if your worried Mudbrair of all ponies is a dirty snake in the grass, then go talk to her about it."
 * Pinkie: "AS A MATTER O'FACT?! I, WILL?! (Zooms off!)....."
 * Rainbow Dash: "..... Maybe some of us should go with Pinkie to make sure she doesn't go over-board?"
 * Twilight: Smart observation. (She teleported away)
 * Eightball:... So, where's Cozy Glow?
 * Fluttershy: She and the other students are asleep for the night. You should probably wait until morning.
 * Eightball: Yeeeah, Cozy likes to stay up pretty late. She has a habit of sneaking about.
 * Applejack: She ain't the kind of filly to just break curfew.
 * Eightball: She broke curfew loads of times. Making trouble kinda runs infamously in the family. You should see her big sister Backgammon. She was QUITE something in her fillyhood. She was about good at anything frankly.
 * Rarity: So is she doing that?
 * Eightball: I've been watching her since she enrolled. But though she manages to hide well, she always comes back.
 * Rainbow Dash: Not really helping her case since the Shell Lodgers claim there's something 'off' about her.
 * Rarity: "Albeit, mostly Shen. He tends to be, over-proactive at having suspitions about folks."
 * Eightball: Yeah, Cozy can be quite mysterious at times. Gets it from my dad's side of the family. He can be abit brooding and hard to read at times too. So, I'd better give my little cousin a visit. Tootles. (Teleports away)
 * Rarity:...... I didn't have any idea Cozy's family was so... Enigmatic.
 * Rainbow Dash: Me neither. But it does explain a few things. Although, Shen is DIFFENTLY gonna give the poor girl shit over this news.
 * Maud and Mudbrair arrived.
 * Mudbrair: "So, do you think that the Jewelfish have constructed a makeshift bed for us?"
 * Maud: "Trust me. They already had it ready at this point. They're very good at what they do."
 * Mudbrair: "Well I admit this to be impressive for their stature, though it does prove that with numbers, anything is possab- (Pinkie pounces onto Mudbrair) OOF'A! (Sees a particularly furious Pinkie)..... Tecnecally, I have a feeling that you seem particularly upset at me with something."
 * Pinkie: "WHEN WERE YOU PLANNING TO TELL ME THAT YOUR LAST NAME IS O'HARDKNOCKS?!"
 * Mudbrair: ".... Ohhhh dear. Tecnecally, I knew this was gonna be an issue. Look, Miss Pie, I promsie you, he does not have xenophobic tendingices, NOR is capable to be a serious threat beyond anyone but to himself in his frail condition."
 * Pinkie: "IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT YOU NEVER TALKED ABOUT YOUR UNCLE, HIM NOT BEING CANON ASIDE?!"
 * Mudbrair: ".... Tecnecally, I, am actselly very puzzled on what you meant by that."
 * Maud: "(Monotone but sternfully) Pinkie, please calm down and get off of him."
 * Pinkie: Uhh, right. (Chuckles) So... Can you answer me?
 * Mudbriar: Technically, O'Hardknocks is my, for lack of a gender-specific term, maiden name. Uncle O'Hardknocks is on my mom's side. I actselly have my father's last name.
 * Nearby Jewelfish: Uh, shouldn't your last name be that if it's on your mom's side? I mean, Mares are more dominanet in your socity, right?
 * Another Jewelfish: Crys, this is clearly they're business, we're not meant to get involved.
 * Crys:... Oh, right.
 * Pinkie: Well, I won't ask what it actually is and leave that for the canon show should they desided to bring you back for anything other then a camio. But seriously, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US CHANCELLOR O'HARDKNOCKS IS YOUR UNCLE?!
 * Mudbriar: Because you never asked.
 * Pinkie:... I think I can now see why Rainbow Dash thinks manners get annoying sometimes.
 * Mudbair: "Well that, and socially speaking, it tends to be considered socially unbareable to talk about things when not asked too."
 * Pinkie: "Again, I now further understand why Rainbow is NOT a fan of mannors."
 * Maud: Pinkie, he has assured me that his uncle is not capable of taking his blame too far.
 * Pinkie: You may be right, but since what I heard happened to him, I'm worried that could change. The fact that he was gonna get a promotion at the worst time? Not exactly something even I would easily laugh off.
 * Maud: I'm sure you and your friends have faced worse.
 * Pinkie: That's what Rainbow Dash said, but Twilight and that Eightball agent guy for the EEA from our Yakotaur mission said we need to be more serious.
 * Mudbriar: Well, tecnecally.... I have been around Uncle O'Hardknocks even after the disbanding of the EEA. He had moments of going too far, but not far enough to be a problem for Equestria. The worse he ever did, was throwing tantrums and threaten lawsuits that never came, while making Nurse Care Giver have her work cut out in preventing his meltdowns from hurting him with his, "Stress Pills", which are actselly cranium and cardiac stablisers due to his weak heart and sesiure proned mind. My mother's side of the family, were infamous for, Health complications. So glad I take more from dad, geneticly speaking.
 * Pinkie: I'm not sure. With all due respect, I think your uncle may be a party cannon of ruin waiting for the fuse to burn up.
 * Maud: If Mudbriar says he's harmless enough, that's good enough for me. And sister, I feel you, as one who recently accepted him for who he is, should give hope that he may be right.
 * Pinkie: I'm really trying. But... I just feel like O'Hardknocks is going to pull out the cliché of turning you both against me like the potential sociopath as almost typical of the SAF series.
 * Mudbrair: "Again, to relitterate: I still have little understanding what you meant by that."
 * Pinkie: Well, that is to say, I meant, I'm worried your uncle might BARELY be the same pony he his anymore! I don't know if I want to believe he is. I don't know if I can spread happiness again if I lost your trust.
 * Maud: You have lost that will more than once. Recently involving that Yak instrument.
 * Pinkie: Oh... You heard that, huh?
 * Maud: Everypony within a 10-mile radius heard you. Also, you asked me to take your stuff back into the Rock Farm awhile back, then followed by asking me and Limestone to help you retrive your yovidaphone from the dump. Limestone even had to wrestle a sumo-wrestling Garbage Troll for it, remember?
 * Pinkie: "Oh yeah..... Totally tuned that out."
 * Maud: Also, that musical instrument had caused a lot of noise pollution.
 * Pinkie: Huh? Didn't know you could pollute noise.
 * Mudbriar: Technically, it's a premature term for disturbing the peace. Sound isn't capable to be physically polluted like land or water, as suppose that the instrament was more, distruptive of to the peaceful scerenity of the countryside, and/or unused-to pony ears, unfamilier to the sounds of the yovidaphone, which actselly has a cultural signifigence in Yak Culture, which-
 * Pinkie: "Hey, we already have an episode that'll cover that, save it for that!"
 * Maud: Reguardless, it was good that you got the yak intrament back. Even though, it was odd it effected you that badly though. Honestly, it felt like you were cursed. The Pinkie I knew wouldn't give up her cutie mark calling because of the sacrifice of a single and somewhat recent hobby.
 * Pinkie: The bronies said that a lot and considered that the worst episode this season. Though, honestly, even I was confused by that. I know I got sad before, but the last time I was seriously THAT sad was season 1, but, I never effected flowers and clouds LIKE THAT before! I didn't get it either. But, back on topic. I don't know who to trust at this point, so, for the sake of our school and you two, I'll trust both. I... I don't want to lose you two.
 * Maud: You won't. No rotten family member will ruin another family. I am your sister.... (The three hug as Jewelfish awed) Besides. You handled Neighsay well enough. Saw Mudbrair's uncle is that bad, how much worse can he be?
 * Pinkie: "Oh, your right. He's hardly even a threat to a fly in his condition. I'm surprised he's not already at the hospital from the train ride alone since I heard that he didn't had fun there."
 * Mudbrair: "Well, tecnecally, that's what Nurse Care Giver was for. She's pretty much a nurse provided by the O'Hardknocks' family's insurence. Mother has been, concerned for his health. He, also wasn't too excited for the cavern, so he went to the Bedtime & Sunny-Side Up Inn."
 * Pinkie: "Yeesh, how picky can you get! He wasn't too mean on Smiles and Raven, was he?"
 * Mudbriar: We already took care of it.
 * Pinkie: Well, good. We need to show him we're not bad ponies. We could attract bad attention if we mess this up.
 * Mudbrair: "Or at least, more then already, since it's likely Neighsay is far from an exception as it would be possable that some other members may have issues to-"
 * Pinkie: "Well I meant that getting his approvel would reduse any likely trouble from E.E.A. members not already as bad as Neighsay!"
 * Maud: "Don't worry Pinkie, we're confident the worse he would be, is being a grouch."
 * Pinkie: (Takes deep breath cartoonishly like a balloon)... I REEEEEEALLY hope it stays that way.
 * Cozy was seen sleeping, until the artifact activated.
 * ???: So, how is O'Hardknocks doing?
 * Cozy Glow: (Gets a rude awakening) Ughhh, not this soon! (Yawns), Old fart made a rough impression. That should be a start. Nothing yet on what he was going for though.
 * ???: What?! You're sleepy at this time? Usually that's not the case after all we did together!
 * Cozy Glow: There's always a first time for every thing in this school! The School of Friendship is synchronizing me into a regular sleep schedule. I can't do that sneaky stuff with a curfew on my head. And trust me, that Igmar Iguana and the New School Nurse's pet Familier Light Magic Snake thing are keeping watch. The teachers will know if I'm doing something! So, basicly, no more night missions! Besides, I, can kinda get behind getting ACTUAL sleep. Makes me less of a c**t at you.... Well, at least it should've till you woke me up, sleep wrecker!
 * ???: BLAST?! You barely been at the school for only a few months and ALREADY it is about to tear us apart?! I WILL HAVE TO ABORT MISSION AND-
 * Cozy Glow: Oh calm your tits, will ya?! That's not true. It's just what the school teaches. To be more friendly and responsible. They also want us to be more well-rested to discourage daydreaming. They may want us to be friends to people who need it, but they're not slave drivers. And, I kinda have to respect them for it. They're way nicer then the orphanage in Brokehorse."
 * ???: Cozy, you can't be telling me you're Stockholming yourself?! You know-
 * Cozy Glow: Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get the usual "I hate Twilight Sparkle" Spew you regurgitate and that you think the school's trying to control me?! I, f*****g, get it?! No need to throw a damn fit about it?! Just, it's just, there are other things to do here. I'm sorry if I'm not taking this seriously. I've been at hard work doing what you asked me! I have been eying the friendship archives and will secure them for you the moment I figure out what the f*** Old Man Hardknocks is gunning for here!
 * ???: WELL WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING NOW AND NOT-
 * Cozy Glow: (Quietly) WILL YOU ZIP IT?! NOT EXACTLY A LOT OF HEAVY SLEEPERS IN THIS SCHOOL?! (Semi-Quiet voice) Besides, I can't risk adding more suspition onto me! Not many suspect me anyway, minus that paranoid peacock.
 * ???: Just don't forget the mission. That stuff I learned about you, is way too valuable to our damaged family honor. All our prodigal family suffered. My stolen honor, and the shame brought from Great Uncle University. It's tearing us apart. You better figure out what that fragile old windbag's planning for Perplexity, or she can't promise to really help us! Please, don't disappoint me, little sister.
 * Cozy Glow:... (Sighs)..... I won't.
 * ???: Good girl. I love you. Bye. (The Artifact deactivates).....
 * Cozy Glow: (Sighs annoyed).... (Quietly) You love yourself and your dumb ambitions a bit more, you condesending- (A flash was heard as Cozy yelped when Eightball teleported in)
 * Eightball: Hey, cous. I heard you talking to your sister.
 * Cozy Glow: Eight?! What're you doing here?! I thought you were busy throwing your life away at Las Pegasus Games?!
 * Eightball: "Thank your uncle Wellplay for getting me into Gamblers Annonymus. He, wanted me to try and NOT do that AS often.... So, what did Backy want?"
 * Cozy Glow:... (Sighs). She, just wanted to check up on me.
 * Eightball: Well, you know that O'Hardknocks is coming, right?
 * Cozy Glow: Twilight told us. Said we need to be professional to help heal bad baggage with the EEA.
 * Eightball: "Well I trust you know how impourent that is. University claims that O'Hardknocks has secret plans to try and establish his own Friendship School if Twilight fails to impress."
 * Cozy Glow made a surprised face.....
 * Cozy Glow: "..... (Intriged) Go on."
 * Eightball: "Well, University believes it to mostly be a rumor from some old friends, so, it's nothing offictal as he didn't bother telling that to the Princess, but the rumor was why O'Hardknocks was brought here by Mr. University. He was hoping that a good day in the school would discourage him in throey."
 * Cozy Glow:... Well that's... Interesting. So, Twilight doesn't know?
 * Eightball: University figured it was best to not tell her everything yet, kinda what I meant by Princess, unless you thought I meant Celestia, cause, the E.E.A. is kinda more of a Twilight issue.
 * Cozy Glow:... Well, this sure changes everything. I... I'll see what I can do to help tomorrow.
 * Eightball: Alright. Good to see you again, Coz. Nighty-Night. (Teleports away)
 * Cozy Glow:...... (Calls her sister) Sis! I just found out everything!
 * The Crusaders were seen setting up a stunt ramp as an excitable Cutie Mark Camper was seen hoping with joy!
 * Camper: "YOU CRUSADERS ARE AWESOME?! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT FOR HELPING ME OUT WITH BECOMING LIKE MY FAMILY?!"
 * Sweetie Belle: "It's really no problem, Stunty Daredevil Jr. We, were kinda used to do crazy stunts all the time back when we tried to get our own cutie marks, and/or do them for fun when we're not at Camp Crusade or a Mane 7/Louger Adventure."
 * Stunty Daredevil Jr.: "I CAN'T THANK YOU COOL FILLIES ENOUGH?! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY CUTIE MARK?! OH!? EVEN BETTER?! I MIGHT BREAK MY BONES?!"
 * Scootaloo: "Uhhh, maybe save that part for WHEN your older and can handle it, buddy. Even if your from a family of Daredevils, they don't want you start the family business of getting wrecked TOO early."
 * Applebloom: "Also, that could risk a lawsuit..... And child services to get involved."
 * Diamond Tiara: "Though I'm surprised daredevils were allowed to have kids to begin with."
 * Silver Spoon: "Yeah, ya think that Child Services would deem Daredevils bad enfluences for kids, and/or constint risks of child endangerment."
 * Applebloom: Well, you wouldn't believe how much 'paperwork' we had to pull to get this camp running. Growing up is really hard.
 * Diamond Tiara: You get used to it. So, girls, dad said that unfortunately, your plan to invite other creatures that can get cutie marks into the camp, can't be allowed.
 * CMC: WHAT?!?
 * Sweetie Belle: But why? Our positions as friendship tutors have given us enough bits to improve the camp. Finding out that other creatures can get cutie marks is, a way to help our sisters spread friendship. Impure Perytons, Impure Hippogriffs, Bicorns, Merponies, Impure Hippale-... Hippanica... Ugh, why are these races' names so hard to pronounce? They surely have blank flank problems.
 * Diamond Tiara: Dad says that an EEA representative is in Ponyville. Thus until his evaluation of the school is done, they can't allow an unauthorized racial change like this.
 * Scootaloo: "And since when does the E.E.A. have athority over camps?"
 * Silver Spoon: "Tecnecally no, but, Mr. Rich probuly felt it isn't a good idea to give the Representive the wrong idea that the School is giving Young Ponies ideas. Espeically not this one. My daddy said that he arrived to Ponyville Yesterday throwing a fit bad enough that he looked like he was gonna blow up epicly!"
 * Diamond Tiara: "Basicly, it's been implied that this guy, is VERY easy to upset! Daddy reckindises this, along with that he's from a powerful family of brainiac ponies, so, for the time being, that plan of yours, is (Gives a small raspberry)...."
 * The CMC groaned in aggravation!
 * Applebloom: "Alchourse nothing goes right because of them dumb old E.E.A. folks."
 * Sweetie Belle: "I know Rarity tries to tell me not all of them are trying to be mean, but so far, this E.E.A. guy is REALLY a big fat pile of inconvinence!"
 * Scootaloo: Can't those big babies just get over it?!? Twilight's school won fair and sqaure!
 * Silver Spoon: That's exactly what I said!
 * Diamond Tiara: Well BEING big babies ourselves won't help.
 * Applebloom: "Your right Diamond. We need to check up this guy for ourselves."
 * Stunty: "Uh, after you help me with finding my cutie mark, right?"
 * Sweetie Belle: ".... As soon as we help Stunty with his Cutie Mark first, that is."
 * The five arrive at Bedtime & Sunny Side Up Inn.
 * Diamond Tiara: "This is pretty much the place where that O'Hardknocks' pony is residing."
 * Scootaloo: "You once said that he wasn't very happy with the train ride, right? Why is that?"
 * Silver Spoon: "My dad side it's because the E.E.A. have alot of luxerious powers and benefits."
 * Sweetie Belle: "No duh. They were stationed in canterlot, after all."
 * Diamond Tiara: "Oh, trust me. Mom said that they had luxeries that even makes Fnacy Pants jealious. They have private flight chariots filled with Servent Sprites that make them exotic food, give them back massages, hooficures, pretty much everything servents typically do, but better."
 * Applebloom: "Wait, but I thought the E.E.A. hated other races, why do they have Servent Sprites?"
 * Silver Spoon: "Yeah, try not to get confused with what happened with Neighsay. He was just a case where they took the outdated beliefs were taken too seriously, but it was their own fault they didn't caught up with the times and made changes because they got too content that schools took them seriously. Also, the Servent Sprites were different. They're pretty much are like pets, that take care of you."
 * Sweetie Belle: "Well that's abit of a double standerd. They don't like non-pony creatures get involved with schools or camps, but they have no problem with them being servents?"
 * Diamond Tiara: "That's because all Servent Sprites think about, is to serve. Watch. TIDDY SPRIKLES?!"
 * A Tiny Butler Dressed Servent Sprite Appeared.
 * Servent Sprite: "M'yes, Miss Tiara?"
 * Diamond Tiara: "I want you to fetch me the most tastiest chocolate bar, from that Alternate United Universes, Some Burger King from Kratos, A Pizza from Futureasia, Ice Cream from Gobstopper, A Pita from Disney Greese, and I want it all ready by the time I get back home, Sprinkles."
 * Tiddy Sprinkles: "Yes Miss Tiara. (Poofs)."
 * Scootaloo: "...... Tiddy Sprinkles?"
 * Diamond Tiara: "Don't ask."
 * Applebloom: ".... Well, let's go confront him."
 * Diamond Tiara: "I have to stop you there. Daddy said that O'Hardknocks isn't particulaly fond of foals."
 * Sweetie Belle: "Ugh! There's no adult worse then one that hates kids!"
 * Scootaloo: "Pedophiles are worse then kid haters. At least kid haters want nothing to do with kids!"
 * Applebloom: "..... You hang out with Rainbow Dash too much, espeically when you keep learning adult stuff from her."
 * Mudbrair shows up.
 * Mudbrair: "Pardon me, Young ones. I'm here to see someone."
 * Applebloom: "Oh. Your Mudbrair, right? Pinkie Pie is a friend of our sisters."
 * Scootaloo: "And Rainbow Dash."
 * Mudbrair: "Well, tecnecally, I had heard about your misadventures from Maud. They said you were indeed eventful little scamps."
 * Sweetie Belle: "Well, they may've not said those exact words, but yeah, (Laughs nerviously), There was, never a boring day with us."
 * Scootaloo: "Except when it does get boring."
 * Applebloom: We just want to talk with Chancellor O'Hardknocks regarding a-
 * Maud: (Shows up) Are you aiming to invite other creatures that can get cutie marks into your camp? (The fillies were confused) Intuition, as well as the fact that I found some geode arches somewhere around your camp. Your camp is built around an area of sedimentary bedrock buried underneath what was once the sight of a plume during the Second Windigo Ice Age, which layered the ground and filling the vesicles in the volcanic material with mineral deposits from hydrothermal fluids like water from snow rich in minerals from deep within the earth. Some got big and thus underneath are not only still preserved in aquifers formed by weathering caused by leaking acidic minerals, but also emerge from the ground due to the pressure applied from the series of geodes, many of which crack from said pressure including the arch I have been studying.
 * Scootaloo:... I have NO idea what that means!
 * Applebloom: Have you considered being a narrator for a geological documentary?
 * Maud: I've done it 19 times. It's grown on me. Basically, your camp is standing over an underground collection of these. (Shows a geode similar to the one Limestone showed Pinkie)
 * Scootaloo: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!?
 * Sweetie Belle: BIGGER VERSIONS OF THOSE ARE UNDERNEATH OUR CAMP?!?
 * Applebloom: We should check this out some time. But, uh, back on topic. Can we talk to O'Hardknocks?
 * Mudbriar: Young ones, he is not interested in that right now. He is getting ready for his evaluation. You simply must wait.
 * Scootaloo: It's only for a second.
 * Mudbriar: You technically cannot do what you want with him in a second.
 * Applebloom:... What kind of completely literal place did you find him?
 * Maud: We met at a gem tree. The largest one in Equestria to be exact. 1,000 years old.
 * Sweetie Belle: We're saying that talking to him won't take long.
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, that's the issue. Uncle, has not fondness for the youth."
 * Applebloom: "Yeah, Tiara already said that he hates kids, and we get that, but we promise we won't be annoying to him and-"
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, he's very easily annoyed, just from interacting with him. He, has rather inferior social skills because of a very poor childhood of never interacting with ponies fully his entire life. Even as a toddler, he only finds piece in learning, working hard, and making something of himself."
 * Applebloom: ".... He, never had a proper childhood?"
 * Mudbrair: "Tragicly, yes. The O'Hardknocks family unit were all about knowledge. Hence why they're prodominant leaders in education and science groups."
 * Scootaloo: "...... NO F*****G WONDER HE'S MISERABLE?! HIS LIFE, SUCKS?!"
 * Mudbrair: "..... Metathoricly speaking, you may need to apply some soap into that mouth."
 * Silver Spoon: "..... That's, the weirdest way, to say that "Somepony oughta wash your mouth with soap", ever."
 * Applebloom: Ugh, vulgar language aside-
 * Mudbriar: Sorry, little ones. You must set this one out. O'Hardknocks cannot be bothered at this time. Be patient and do something special for the camp, if you can.
 * Applebloom:... (Sighs) Got nothin' else to do. Girls? Who wants to go looking for gem egg things?
 * CMC: CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS SPELUNKERS!!! (They high-hoofed each other and left)
 * Mudbriar:... Will they be okay?
 * Maud: This is their thing, so let's let them do it.
 * ???: UGH, THE SERVICE HERE!!!!!
 * Mudbriar: (Sighs)
 * Maud: (Monotone) Oh no, not again.
 * Nurse Care Giver: "Oh calm down sir, to be fair, it is an inn in Ponyville, a not exactly, Canterlotian like place. So alchourse they would serve things like a cute smilely face pancake, it's not like The 5 Realms of Paradise Hotel in Haywaii."
 * O'Hardknocks: "BUT THE INDIGNITY OF IT?! THEY COULD'VE JUST AS LEAST GAVE ME A NORMAL PANCAKE?!"
 * Smiles was seen crying as Raven was comferting her while giving a cold emo stare to O'Hardknocks.
 * Raven: "Ya know asshole, Smiles puts her HEART and SOUL into those pancakes."
 * O'Hardknocks: "WELL PARDON ME FOR PREFERING FOOD THAT DOESN'T STARE BACK WITH SOULESS STRAWBERRY EYES?! NEVER MIND SMILES?!"
 * Raven: "(Angerly) Ya know scumbag, if Smiles wasn't such a forgiving pony and would've held me back, I WOULD SO BLACKLIST YOUR ASS AND BAN YOU FROM THIS INN?!"
 * O'Hardknocks: "Well you DON'T call the shots here, do you, young miss? May this teach your girlfriend a lesson about proper pancake etiquette!"
 * Raven: "WHA?! DUDE?! SHE'S MY SISTER?!"
 * Silence......
 * O'Hardknocks: "..... But, she's rediculiously cheerful, and, well your just some eye shadow away of being mistakeable for having vampirisum!"
 * Raven: "...... Adopted, sisters."
 * O'Hardknocks: "Okay, THAT makes abit more sense."
 * Raven: "OKAY, WHEN IS YOUR SMARTASS NEFPEW IS GONNA PICK YOU UP AND GET YOU OUT HERE ALREADY?! DON'T YOU HAVE A SCHOOL TO VISIT OR SOMETHING?!"
 * Nurse Care Giver: "Calm down Madam, calm down. Mr. O'Hardknocks, how's about you go outside, I'll pay the nice ponies for their service and pay extra as an apology payment.... And ask if I can take the pancakes with us."
 * O'Hardknocks: "Ugh, go do what you want. I need fresh air anyway. (Leaves annoyed as Mudbriar met him)... What're you looking at?"
 * Mudbriar: I am looking at you in the front-
 * O'Hardknocks: Oh my Gods, learn rhetoric, will you? I have a job to do here.
 * Mudbriar: Not until you curve that anger. What you did in there was very mean and very insensitive. Nocreature in the school wants to meet you like that. You must be presentable.
 * O'Hardknocks: I'll show up to that school however I like!
 * Mudbriar: Uncle O'Hardknocks! (With a similar blank stare as Maud's in 'Gift of the Maud') You need, to lay, down!
 * O'Hardknocks:... Uhhhh, what the Tartarus are you doing, young colt?
 * Mudbriar: I, am 26.
 * O'Hardknocks: And I am 51! Get out of my way!
 * Mudbriar: Uncle, I don't want to hurt you, but I can have Care Giver tranquilize you until you're ready.
 * O'Hardknocks: MOVE, NOW!!!!!
 * Mudbriar: I am not letting you go to the school with that attitude.
 * O'Hardknocks: (Growls, making a twig snap gesture until Mudbriar points at Maud)
 * Maud:... You snap me?
 * O'Hardknocks: UGH, FINE!!! If it'll get your delinquent ass off mine!
 * Maud: There are kids here. I taught you well, Mud. Let's get some ice cream and head back to the Cave. That will cool down your uncle. (She walks away)
 * O'Hardknocks:...... We need to have a serious conversation when we get to that cave, boy!
 * Nurse Care Giver: Oh boy!
 * Sweetie Belle: (The campers and the CMC were traveling through underground caves filled with beautiful geodes)... Wow! Rarity would love it here.
 * Rumble: And you three had no idea this was here?!
 * Scootaloo: Apparently not.
 * Pipsqueak: This is an amazing discovery.
 * Stunty: Amazing?! That's an understatement.
 * Applebloom: Well y'all, when we get our new non-pony classmates with us, this could be a good choice of an activity.
 * ???: Oh, isn't that adorable? Filly travelers. (A turtle-crab creature with multiple diamond compound eyes appeared)...
 * Filly #1: What in Equestria is that?
 * Filly #2: I believe that's called a fire crab. I believe they shoot hot flames out of their claws, well... At you.
 * Filly #3: You said 'I believe' twice. Epic vocabulary fail.
 * Applebloom: Well in that case, we should stay back and walk away slowly.
 * Fire Crab: Take it easy kids, I'm no threat. Actually I'm one of the unfortunate victims of the Geo Stone. We do have a fighting caste. I just got lost. Ugh, sometimes I hate being stuck a subterranean beast.
 * Scootaloo: You mean the Geo Stone that Maud dealt with? Oh, thank Celestia.
 * Fire Crab: Oh trust, I should know. Fire crabs aren't exactly native here anyway. They're from Draconia in dragon territory. Good seafood for them. (Shivers)..... So lucky there ain't dragons for miles in pony terratory.
 * Pipsqueak: Would you, uh, care to introduce yourself, Mr....
 * Fire Crab: I'm Gem-Eye. Just one of the rookie scouts. And you kiddies can clearly see how well my first day turned out. The untamed underground is so, inhospitable. Do you even KNOW what other kind of subterranean insectivores live down here? Changeling pox! That stuff makes your skin peel like a bug's mold! (Dubbed as Thunderbolt) And BLOODWYRMS! I HATE bloodwyrms!! (In the kids' faces) They SUCK all the blood outta ya, do you hear me?! (Crazily) THEEEY SUCK AAAAAAAAALL THE BLOOOD OUT OF YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!!!...... Wow, not even a day, and already I'm crazy!
 * Applebloom: (Scared) W-w-w-w-well, they're ARE bloodwyrms. That's, kinda their point of existence.
 * Scootaloo: And, you're scaring us.
 * Gem-Eye: Well, you kids are right to be scared. Kinda helps for this avatar of mine.
 * Applebloom: Well... We can help you find your way back. Right, everypony? (They cheer) We can just take ya' to Maud's cave home.
 * Gem-Eye: Ohhhh, that passage is partially flooded. You kids don't seem to have the lung capacity to help with that.
 * Scootaloo: Oh, really? (The CMC display their seapony forms)...
 * Gem-Eye:... And those kids- (They showed him snorkels and goggles)... You kids seem like a wild bunch. Though I should probuly make ya kids aware that there is a troublesome beast that is native here, and that's- (A screech was heard)..... REAPER BATS?!
 * A series of bats with wings in the shape of sythes began to fly this way screeching wildly!
 * Gem-Eye: "THOSE THINGS ARE EVEN WORSE BLOOD SUCKERS?! AND WITH WINGS AS SHARP AS THE GLOOM REAPER'S SYTHE?!"
 * Rumble: "Kinda a safe bet why other ponies never claim these jewels!"
 * Pipsqueak: WHAT DO WE DO?!?
 * Gem-Eye: Let me deal with this! (Blasts his fire claws and bursts fire from a scorpion-like stinger abdomen that shooed off much of the Reaper Bats)
 * Filly #1: (Laughs and snorts) He's farting fire.
 * Gem-Eye: Back, you savage animals!!!!! I'm packing literal heat!!!!
 * Stunty: I HAVE AN IDEA!!!
 * Applebloom: Stunty, this ain't the kind of time to- (Stunty threw a rock at some Reaper Bats and ran from them)
 * Stunty: GO!
 * Gem-Eye: KID, WHAT IS THIS YOU'RE DOING?!
 * Stunty: JUST DO IT!!!! (They did that as Stunty managed to diverge the Reaper Bats to a geode trap that got them stuck as Stunt blocked their path with a cave-in)...... Good news is we lost those cave rats with wings.
 * Filly #4: Not a good metaphor.
 * Stunty: Bad news, can't go back the way we came. But on the bright side, we can help get this big guy back home and ask Maud in her cave to take us back to the surface.
 * Gem-Eye: Buuut on the dark side, there's worse in this cave. Reaper Bats and bloodwyrms aren't the worse. (They went across the scenic geode caverns and approached a flooded tunnel) NOW we're in familiar territory.
 * Pipsqueak: And good. I'm starting to get tired.
 * Rumble: Heck yeah. We had to skip lunch.
 * Applebloom: Well when we get back to the surface, a lunch party with desserts from Diamond Tiara are on me.
 * Filly #5: Kinda inconsistent to say it's on you when Diamond's paying for it.
 * Applebloom: Ugh, whatever, we'll figure out how to pay for it soon. Let's dive. (The CMC dove underwater with their seapony forms while Gem-Eye crawls under and the fillies got their snorkels on as they swim through a cathedral of geodes)
 * CMC: Woooooooowwwww!!!!
 * Gem-Eye: Eh, our people have seen better. (Monstrous shrieks were heard)...
 * Scootaloo:... What was that?
 * Gem-Eye: I don't know, but it obviously doesn't sound friendly.
 * Filly #2: (Worried, she muffles)
 * CMC: What?
 * Filly #2: (Muffles)
 * Gem-Eye: Aye-aye-aye, kid, don't waste your breath.
 * Filly #2: (Groans and takes off her snorkel, gurgling) IT'S THE SHRIEK OF A QALUPALIK!!!!
 * CMC:... What? (The shrieks got louder as seapony-like black-maned, blobfish-like and pupilless monster-eyed creatures were seen)
 * Gem-Eye: Qalupaliks? Ugh, those things give me the creeps.
 * Scootaloo: The heckapus is a Qalupalik?!
 * Gem-Eye: "Obviously the abominable equine-eqsed horrorshows behind us!"
 * Scootaloo: I mean what do they do?!
 * Gem-Eye: Ask any smarties in your life, because there's no time! COME ON!! (The CMCs helped the students swim faster to avoid the Qalupaliks as they were cornered in every turn as some of the kids were struggling to breath as one of the Qalupaliks took Pipsqueak and tore off his snorkel as he started drowning)
 * Applebloom: PIP!!!
 * Stunty: (He crushed the Qalupalik with rocks and gave Pipsqueak his snorkel)
 * Gem-Eye: Next time you won't be so lucky. These beasts will do anything to devour children that wander off.
 * Applebloom: Well they ain't getting us! (She slaps a Qalupalik with her seapony tail)
 * Stunty: (Swims in an unnoticed spot, and takes off his snorkel, gurgling) HELP, I'M DROWNING!!!! PLEASE SAVE ME BEFORE THE QALUPASOMETHINGS FINISH IT!!! (The Qalupaliks attacked him)
 * Sweetie Belle: STUNTY, I THINK YOU'RE TAKING DAREDEVILING WAY TOO SERIOUSLY!!!!
 * Stunty: (He manages to swim out of the way of the Qalupaliks that hit the wall, trapping them all underneath rocks, as Stunty finally tugged in air deprivation and got his snorkel back on)
 * Scootaloo:... Stunty, you really need to be careful. (He suddenly gains his cutie mark, which is a hoop of fire with a heart in it, as he gurgles in joy)
 * Gem-Eye: Well, I'll be dipped.
 * Applebloom:...... Well I guess that's another victory for the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I guess?
 * ???: GODDAMMIT, GEM-EYE!!! (More fire crabs came in) There you are! We thought you got lost. The Cathedral Caves are closed down because some Qalupaliks managed to get here from Bushwoolia. Those beasts are not good for kids to be around, and-... (Sees the fillies)... Who the hell are these?
 * Gem-Eye: Easy, sir! They're just some cute fillies that helped me find my way back.
 * Applebloom: Hey, sir.
 * Fire Crab: Call me General Diamondback.
 * Gem-Eye: Kids, be weary on my boss. He didn't get his position as general for nothing.
 * Scootaloo: Well he can't actually burn us underwater.
 * Fire Crab #2: We DO have other weapons, you know.
 * Diamondback: Well you kids were lucky enough to survive down here. Not many kids have that kind of luck around Qalupaliks. Everycreature just shrugs them off as a manipulative scare story, WHEN THIS LAND IS A STORY!!! I swear, the only reason these creepers are alive is because kids these days are so stupid. No offense.
 * Applebloom: Some taken.
 * Diamondback:... So, what are you fillies even doing down here, anyway?
 * Gem-Eye: They were just spelunking in the nearby geode caverns until Reaper Bats got them lost.
 * Fire Crab #3: OHHHHHH, you're the Cutie Mark Campers, aren't you? Maud told us about you when she was looking at the Geode Caverns.
 * Fire Crab #4: Maud really knows how to navigate and map the underground. These Cathedral Caves were once a church for Sea Changelings.
 * Sweetie Belle: The Sea Changelings? Like, the ones from Eqlauntica?
 * Fire Crab #1: Well, yes, there's some in Equantican territory, but they do own their own terratory. The Sea Verity got along with the Sea and Merponies better then their cousins on land thanks to a more stable rulership then the Land Changelings. As your likely to guess, they're kinda like Land Changelings, but more akin to crustaceans than bugs. Can't fly, but they CAN shapeshift-
 * Diamondback: SOLDIERS! Just do your jobs, and quarantine and/or deport the Qalupaliks.
 * Fire Crab #1: Yes sir! (The Qalupaliks shrieked until the Fire Crabs pinched their mouths comically)
 * Gem-Eye: So anyway, since they can't go back the way they came, we're... Hoping to bring them to Maud's cave so we can bring them back to the surface.
 * Diamondback: I see. Then allow me to escort them.
 * Gem-Eye: Then take me with them. They could use a proper goodbye for helping me and me helping them.
 * Diamondback: Very well. Come with me. (They followed him)
 * Applebloom: (They surfaced) Well, we did it.
 * Scootaloo: We are awesome.
 * Gem-Eye: Thanks, girls.
 * Scootaloo: No, thank you. (The other fillies surfaced)
 * Gem-Eye: I've convinced General Diamondback to have me watch over you guys in case this craziness happens again.
 * Rumble: Smart move. I can't take being lost underground with all that pestilence under there. I thought I was going to get crazy with the low oxygen down there, never mind being underwater.
 * Filly #5: Be happy we survived.
 * Applebloom: Well we kinda always do. That's what our camp's all about. Doing even the most dangerous things to help ponies with their cutie marks.
 * Gem-Eye: Brave young souls.... Well, I should head back on home.... What are you kids going to do until Maud gets here?
 * Scootaloo: We're kids. We can make the best out of any situation. (The kids began playing in the water) See? (One filly swims gracefully and ends up falling in love with another that has difficulty and she ends up earning her cutie mark, three bubbles with hearts in them)... And yet another victory for us. It's like we can give them their cutie marks without even trying.
 * Gem-Eye:... If you say so. See you again soon. Bye. (He crawls away)
 * Applebloom: Well this was a good mission to wait for the evaluation to end. And we got two cutie mark marks. (The three high-hoofed until hoof steps were heard) Here she comes.
 * (???): ENOUGH!!! MUDBRIAR, YOUR TIME WITH THAT ROCKTOLOGIST HAS MADE YOU SOFT!!!
 * (Mudbriar): I'm sorry, Uncle O'Hardknocks, I can't live this kind of lie. Love is not the right position of lying.
 * Stunty: Doooooes, anypony feel like we should-
 * Applebloom: HIDE! (The three dunked the fillies underwater while they watch O'Hardknocks and Mudbriar's conversation)
 * O'Hardknocks: Well she's going to be here soon, and we can't afford anymore distractions. We need to talk about your relationship with her and how it's affecting our plan.
 * Sweetie Belle: Plan? (The other two shushed her as the other kids had puffed cheeks trying to breath through their snorkels quietly, Stunty not doing it at all as Rumble bubble sighs)
 * Mubrair: "Look, Uncle, tecnecally, I know you asked me to only be with Maud Pie as a means to get closer to the school because she happens to be a sister of one of the teachers, but, funny thing, when I was expecting her to be as random and spastic as Pinkie is, she turned out to be, her own pony, albeit because of an extremely rare mental disability that somehow prevents emotion. She turned out to be the only pony that understands what it's like to be an impromptu outcast for being overtly intellectual in an emotion driven society. I end up showing genuine feelings that, technically, I inadvertently undermined your plans to ask questions about that Friendship School so you would have the basis of making a pony-only friendship school to basicly jumpstart an attempt to make the old E.E.A. look good again."
 * O'Hardknock: "..... UGH! That is why I view you as "That Weird Nefpew"! BECAUSE YOU'RE WEIRD?! I, I HAVE NO UTTER UNDERSTANDING OF YOU?! I asked you to dig up infomation I can use, secrets of that school I can use for my own university, maybe even dig up some scandelious revelivent infomation that can ruin the school, EVEN SO MUCH AS TWILIGHT BEING LEWD?! ANYTHING?! But you ended up being IN LOVED WITH A HERMIT ROCKTOLIGIST?! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SPY ON HER IDIOT PINK SISTER, DAMN IT?!"
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally, Pinkie isn't one of inferior intelligence, as her hyper-activity simply makes her fail to pay attention 50% of the time-"
 * O'Hardknocks: "SPARE ME THAT STUPID TECNECALITY?! IF IT LOOKS LIKE AN IDIOT, ACTS LIKE AN IDIOT, AND SOUNDS LIKE AN IDIOT, IT'S AN IDIOT?! WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS, WHY HAVEN'T YOU CAPITALISED ON BEING CLOSE TO A RELITIVE OF A TEACHER OF THE FRIENDSHIP SCHOOL?!"
 * Mudbrair: ".... Well.... If I'm being honest.... It's not that speical."
 * O'Hardknocks: "...... WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT THAT SPECIAL?! IT'S A SCHOOL, THAT TEACHES, FRIENDSHIP?!"
 * Mudbrair: "Well, one, the name alone sounds like it was meant to be from a younger children's show programme. Two, well, ponies already understand that it's meant to bring Equestria togather with other lands. 3rd, quite simply, Maud maintained my interests better than the school did. And 4th, tecnecally, you failed to consider that I lived a bachuler life prior to meeting Maud."
 * O'Hardknocks: "..... I, did not, painstackingly took time out of my shedgule, making her idiot former classmates tell me infomation of where Maud was going for you to meet her there by that gem tree, JUST SO YOU CAN GET A GIRLFRIEND?! IT WAS SO I CAN MAKE A BETTER FREINDSHIP SCHOOL TO PUT SPARKLE'S OUT OF BUSINESS, YOU BLITTERING BOOB?!"
 * Mudbrair: ".... Boobs can't bliter. And the more prefered uncrude term is breast, of which-"
 * O'Hardknocks: "WILL YOU STOP TAKING WHAT PEOPLE SAY LITERALLY, YOU STICK LOVING SLOB?! YOU, ARE GOING TO TAKE ME TO THAT TOUR, AND YOUR GOING TO HELP ME, SECURE THE INFOMATION THAT I WANT, TO FINALLY MAKE MY OWN SCHOOL, OR SO HELP ME, (Takes Twiggy away from Mudbrair), I'M BREAKING YOUR STUPID TWIG?!" (The fillies gasped)
 * Mudbrair: "(Some panic) I, would kindly like to ask to not hurt Twiggy! He's basicly my security mechinisum like how Blouder is to Maud."
 * O'Hardknocks: "THEN ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY?!"
 * Mudbrair: ".... If by that, you mean if I'm willing to start doing what you want of me and focus primarly on the Friendship School, then tecnecally, yes, but, only if you agree to not hurt Twiggy."
 * O'Hardknocks: "AW COME ON, YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THE STUPID STICK HAS NO FEELINGS?!"
 * Mudbrair: "True, but, remember what mother told you about what happened to Rosco when my bullies..... Used him to break a piñata..... Rosco broke in the process. I became sensitive to Stick abuse ever since."
 * O'Hardknocks: "..... Ugh. You really are the weird nefpew. But, I'm glad to FINALLY inspire obedience in you, you worthless slouth! Here's your stupid stick back. (Tosses Twiggy back at him as Mudbrair nerviously catches).... Now, when we get to the School, remember what we agreed...."
 * Mudbrair: "Ask a lot of Questions about the School?"
 * O'Hardknocks: That's my nephew.
 * Mudbriar: But, what if they get suspicious? Asking specific questions will bring that.
 * O'Hardknocks: Just figure it out. There has to be SOMECREATURE that knows much about the school. Try asking University's grand nephew Cozy. Everycreature there finds something, off, about her. Even one of the Lougers seems rather paranoid of that lowly brat. (Sweetie Belle growled like a little dog as Scootaloo and Applebloom kept her quiet).
 * Mudbriar: It should be no problem, then.
 * O'Hardknocks: (Hearing Maud come in)... Good. Don't disappoint me. (Maud came with the ice cream)
 * Maud: The ice cream shop owner has a unique magic spell to keep the ice cream frozen for a long time even around summer. What did I miss?
 * Mudbriar:... Just, managed to cool him slightly down. The ice cream should finish the job.
 * Applebloom: (As they enjoyed their ice cream, the fillies got worried)... I don't think we can get back to the surface through here now.
 * Scootaloo: Yeah. If we ask her, this might get to Mudbriar and they'll suspect we heard that conversation! Oh, Gods, their relationship is screwed!!
 * Sweetie Belle: Then... How are we going to get to the surface?... (All the fillies looked at one specific unicorn filly)
 * Filly #6: Hmm?
 * Applebloom: Prism Horn, of course! Prism, you need to teleport. I know you've been working on it.
 * Prism: Mmmmmmmm... (Muffles in disagreement)
 * Applebloom: Just try. You're the most magical of us. I know you can do it.
 * Prism: Mmm... (Bubbles escape her nose)...
 * Scootaloo: Prism, we can't go with Maud now. We've got to warn somecreature.
 * Sweetie Belle: But... We may want to do it in a place less... (They saw all the reflective gems in the area)... Likely to give us away.
 * ???: That can be arranged. (Topaz and Ruby came in)
 * Duke Topaz: "We kinda overheard what O'Hardknocks wants, albeit, unintentionally because, well, this cavern isn't exactly, private. We'd warn Maud ourselves, but...."
 * Squire Ruby: "One, that would risk their relationship. Two.... That O'Hardknocks guy scares us. (Quietly) He might step on us."
 * Duke Topaz: "We, also figured that he looked concerning when he did nothing but complain about this paradise of a cavern.... Well, him being used to live in buildings aside."
 * Squire Ruby: "We know a lot of less reflective places.... Though, alot of them mostly only fit us. But we know five less flashy places big enough for ponies to enter. You already came from entry number 5."
 * Duke Topaz: "So, there's only 4 entires since you likely don't want to deal with those pesty Reaper Bats again. Entry 1 is the shortist, but filled with Stilag-Mites and Spid-Lactites, basicly, giant mites and spiders with stalactites and stalagmites formations on their backs, like a hermit crab, among the identical mimic Stalag Crabs. Entry 2 is the second shortist, but, not very, clean, just so any germa-phobes or cleaniness obcessers are aware. Entry 3 is average-lentgh, but it's infested with Cementapedes. The 4th is the longest entry, and only has an overly friendly subterrian sea creature that lives in an underground water resrevoir."
 * Pipsqueak: Mmmm-hmmm!!!
 * Sweetie Belle:... I think Pip's trying to say that we'll take our chances with four.
 * Squire Ruby: "No duh."
 * Duke Topaz: "Be warned that Stanly is, VERY desperate for compainionship ever since his girlfriend Jasminia left him when it wasn't working out."
 * Sweetie Belle: "Is it REALLY that bad?"
 * Squire Ruby: "..... He cries himself to sleep every night, and sometimes, they get loud enough to almost risk cave-ins."
 * Sweetie Belle: "But, he's friendly, right?"
 * Duke Topaz: "Well, yes, but, remember that he's also lonely. He, may make leaving, difficult."
 * Rumble: "Well I'm sure he wouldn't be so bad."
 * Squire Ruby: "Well, that depends..... Any of you familier with the 2008 reoot of the violent Video Game Turok?"
 * Scootaloo: "Icky told me about that once."
 * Squire Ruby: "Well, Stanly basicly looks like the Sea Monster Boss from that game, but, not as hyper-monsterised, with fins on the side of his face, abit of a tenticle beard, and wears a Tri-Horn Bunyip Plushy around his neck, and braces."
 * Sweetie: "... And he is friendly, right?"
 * Pearl: "(Shows up) OH FOR F***'S SAKE'S KID, YES, STANLY ISN'T EVEN A THREAT TO A PET SEA-KITTEN HE KEEPS?!"
 * Ruby/Topaz: "SHUSH?! (Quietly) Pearl! Exnay on the elling-say!... And the anguage-lay!"
 * Applebloom: Ugh, do I even need to be introduced? We don't want to get in trouble for teaching our campers bad language. Not since we helped that lost dragonling Agate find a home nearby and got the kids grounded for the language she used.
 * Pearl: Well, dragons are nothing but trouble anyway.
 * Sweetie Belle: Our sister's friend has a dragon assistant who RECENTLY got his wings, AND dragons have been showing up more since the School of Friendship opened. You're lucky we don't tell her you said that.
 * Pearl: WE'RE STUCK IN THE BODIES OF A PEST THAT DRAGONS EAT!!!
 * Sweetie Belle: And whose fault was that? Griffins have recently gained a controversial reputation, and I'm not surprised why.
 * Pearl: WHY YOU LITTLE- (Their arguing was heard from the surface)
 * Maud: Ugh! Pearl and her family are at it again. Just ignore it and it will go away.
 * Topaz: SHUT UP!!!!!... Pearl, your yelling is going to get us in trouble. Let's just get these kids to Stanly's.
 * Pearl: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH, FINE!! Why are you ALWAYS, SO, SASSY?!? (They swam off)
 * Sea Changeling: (He was seen to be different from the ones in Equantica and more akin to the pure Changelings, being like a shrimp-seapony-Changeling, as the fillies and Jewelfish approached him) (Andy Richter voice) Oh, I'm SOOOOOOOO bored! (Sees the group).... Finally, social interactivity!
 * Prism: Hmm?
 * Topaz: Oh, Hypogean, I forgot about him. This is the guardian of Stanly's Cave, Shrimp Toast.... (The fillies couldn't help but burst in bubbly laughter, bubbles gushing from their mouths)
 * Shrimp Toast: YOU, HUSH UP!!!! The sea monster needs his beauty sleep!! Espeically after the big baby stopped crying about Jasmina!
 * Sweetie Belle: Uh, aren't you yelling?
 * Shrimp Toast: He's a heavy sleeper, but NOT deaf! He's used to me, but HE RESPONDS QUICKLY TO NEW FOLKS?! That guy, is SO desperate for anyone other then that Catfish he keeps!
 * Scootaloo: (Scoffs as the suffocating fillies put their snorkels back on) Sorry, but I'm with them. Shrimp Toast? My Celestia, that's hilarious!!
 * Shrimp Toast: Hey, ya lucky I grown numb to people mocking a name that I WASN'T IN THE POSITION TO CHOOSE FOR MYSELF?!
 * Applebloom: "Okay okay, ya don't need to be angry at us fer it! We're only kids!"
 * Pearl: Yeah, forgot to tell you that Shrimp Toast is very abrasive and sensitive to noise aside from his own, even to kids. Not sorry.
 * Topaz: What Pearl is TRYING to say is that he was lost from his family and recently adopted by us. He's got serious loner issues. He is in charge of keeping Stanly from waking up. Again, Stanly has a tendingy to do rotine cries that can, risk cave-ins, because Stanly is in DESPERATE need of companionship. Like he said, he's a heavy sleeper, but he's not deaf.
 * Shrimp Toast: So what do you sea cucumbers want?
 * Scootaloo: "Well, let's just saw we inadvertingly discovered an evil plot from the Uncle of Maud's Boyfriend trying to get him to uncover the School's Secrets so he can make his own. And we needed to be able to get back out to warn everyone without having to go back the original way."
 * Shrimp Toast: "So, basicly, typical land pony shenanigans? Now, as much as I would LOVE to be the clished stubbern guard that wants something weirdly spefific in return, this is actselly the first time I actselly got to interact with anyone besides Stanly, so F*** TROPES! Just follow me, and don't touch anything! Stanly's very over-persnickety about any of his stuff out of place! Also, mind that catfish Sea Kitten of his, Saliva. She's a good sea kitten, but she's frisky as all hell. She'll play with ya like her toys and the sea yarn."
 * Sweetie Belle: "Well that isn't so bad."
 * Shrimp Toast: "She meows very loudly when she plays, which will wake Stanly up to cuddle with her, and then when he sees you bunch, you'll be made to play housemates with that miserable yuts for the rest of your lives! I mean, guy's friendly, but DAMN is he miserably lonely! I'm telling ya, the sooner he either gets himself togather or Jasmina comes back to him!"
 * Scootaloo: "..... Wow. That guy, has issues."
 * Duke Topaz: "Yes, we know, we spent alot of years living next to his cave in these caverns."
 * Shrimp Toast: "Oh, and another thing... Be espeically sure to not touch his collection of fake treasure chests that shoot bubbles..... He, REALLY likes bubbles."
 * Sweetie Belle: "So, he's emotionally distressed..... But has the easily entertained compasity, of a goldfish?"
 * Shrimp Toast: "I know, weird, right? But seriously, those things are motion and touch-activated. If even so much as a hair touches them, they activate and shoot bubbles, and that'll get his attention, and wam bam slam, your stuck playing boardgames and watching Sea Pony Soap Operas for beyond your childhood!"
 * Scootaloo: "How exactly is that bad?"
 * Shrimp Toast: "Well ya said your trying to stop a conspiracy, right? Ya waste time with Stanly, the doughebag behind it's gonna win hands down, capishe?"
 * Scootaloo:... Alright. So... Where do we go for Prism to cast the teleportation spell?
 * Shrimp Toast: TELEPORTATION SPELL?! Uh, kids, this is certainly not the place for that. Saliva will be attracted to any light, and a flash is not a pretty thing to occur here.
 * Scootaloo: NOW you tell us.
 * Shrimp Toast: Well you should've specified your method. You can't flash anywhere here. You may be gone, but Stanly AND Saliva will smother me again! Do you have ANY, IDEA, HOW HORRIFYING THAT IS?! He made me watch emotionally destructive movies. He just drains his loneliness with personal entertainment. Seeing what that guy goes through, you'll NEVER, EVER, stop crying. I never stop crying for a single day after being stuck with him.
 * Sweetie Belle: And yet you're his guardian.
 * Shrimp Toast: But here's the thing... He can't know that. If he does, he'll keep me with him forever. I am NOT, going to that nightmare again!!!! (A Large figure's eyes appeared behind him as the Kids and Topaz, Ruby and Pearl get concerned), I'm sorry to say, you guys will have to sit this one out- (Saliva the giant literal catfish reveiled herself and appeared behind him)...... Saliva's right behind me, isn't she? (Saliva meows extremely loud and brings in Stanly, exactly as he was discripe.)
 * Stanly: WHAT IS IT, SALIVA?! What is it gir- (Sees the group that quickly donned nervious smiles)...... YAAAY, NEW FRIENDS!!!!
 * Shrimp Toast: F******!!!!!
 * Pearl: "Well, that barely lasted longer then 30 seconds."
 * Stanly: And they're ponies! YOUNG PONIES! D'AAAAAWWWWWW!! YOU LOOK SO CUTE WITH THOSE SNORKELS. Ugh, although, it must be a pain to not be able to talk with those things. Here, let me try something. (Claps Tenticles and gives them merpony forms) Tadah!
 * Pipsqueak: I, I CAN BREATH!!!
 * Rumble: I can talk again!!!
 * Prism: And I won't sound like I'm talking into a fan. Thanks.
 * Shrimp Toast: DON'T, THANK HIM!!!!
 * Stanly: Jasmina taught me magic! She taught me you ponies make wonderful friends!! You all have come to the right place for friends!
 * Shrimp Toast: Oh, Hypogean's holy fertilizer, not the f*****g song again!!!
 * Shrimp Toast: ENOUGH WITH THAT F*****G SONG, IT'S BEEN DRILLED INTO MY HEAD!!!
 * Stanly: Anything you wa- Oh, oh, right.... Also..... Mister, please mind your language! There are kids present.
 * Rumble: "Though, I'm curious though. You said Jasmina taught you magic. How, wasn't she a giant subterian sea-monster too?"
 * Stanly: "(Sighs).... That actselly could've made my problems so much easier if that was the case."
 * Shrimp Toast: "(Angerly and quietly) PLEASE DON'T ASK HIM?!"
 * Applebloom: "Then who is she really?"
 * Shrimp Toast: "MMMMMMM!? (Starts banging his head repeatingly into wall!)"
 * Stanly: "Oh, thanks for asking actselly, she was beautiful. (Swam to an underwater cavernious fireplace that only produced bubbles and grabbed a pictire frame)..... She was as beautiful as she was kind. (Gives the Crusaders a picture of a Seapony with an Anglerfish Antenna and a long fin of an angelfish).... She was all about caring for those she felt needed it the most. She would care for even the most spiteful of people. Alchourse, she wouldn't let them know it, cause, they would often take advantage of it, so, she takes the form of the most unassuming of creatures so they would never think twice."
 * Sweetie Belle: ".... Is, that why she left you?"
 * Stanly: "(Sighs)..... That's, only half the story..... She wanted to go join a relief group to help some creatures of a far-off ocean that were victimised by some mad man from some scary clan obcessed with storms."
 * Applebloom: "(Quietly) The Storm Clan."
 * Stanly: "I tried to tell her against it, but.... She wanted to follow her heart. She promised that she would never be too far away from me no matter what..... I.... (Sniffles).... I never knew what happened to her.... I.... I'm not, (Sobs), I'm not sure if I even wanted to know!"
 * Sweetie Belle swam up to comfert the crying Stanly.
 * Sweetie Belle: "(Patting him in the back) It's okay, Stanly. She went to a relief group. That means, it's an aftermath of what his madman had done."
 * Stanly: "It doesn't, (Wimper), It doesn't make me less worried. I mean, I had heard that the Mad Man is not being taken seriously anymore and that ocean has greatly recovered, but.... She never came back..... Either she gotten too caught up with helping people under cover as someone, or.... Or...... (Cries out loud which shakes the cave), I REALLY HOPE IT'S THE FIRST THIIIIIIIIIIIIG?! (SOBS UNCONTROLABLELY)!?"
 * The Cave looks about to cave-in as in the surface, it's translating into a near earthquake!
 * Shrimp Toast: "THAT WAS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO PREVENT HERE?!"
 * Applebloom: "No kidding! Stanly's cries are large and powerful enough to effect the surface?! How's that so?!"
 * Smart Camper: "It'hh could be because Stanly lives under a fault'hhh line. An area at risk'hhh of a earthquake."
 * Scootaloo: "Then we need him to calm the fffffffffffffreck down before he ends up breaking Equestria, and ponyville most of all, into too seperate continents!"
 * Shrimp Toast: "Okay, the best way to calm him down is to get his mind off of Jasmina! That may mean.... (Groans)..... WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH HIM?!"
 * Applebloom: "Well if it's the best way to calm him down, why are you so upset about it?"
 * Shrimp Toast: "Ohhhh, trust me.... You'll understand soon enough, kid! He likes to start off the day by having a kelp, seaweed and alge pizza! And yes, the guy's a vegatarian. Big whoop."
 * Rumble: "No prob! (To Stanly) HEY, BIG GUY?! (Stanly looks at him sadly)...... Want some Sea Pizza? It might help take your mine off about your girl."
 * Stanly: "(Sniffles) Sure. It always does. After that, do you wanna play some Battleclouds and watch Aqua Mi Amora Fish?"
 * Shrimp Toast groans in agony!
 * Applebloom: "Well, if it'll help claim ya down, then yes."
 * Stanly: "Awww, thanks guys. Maybe you can talk about why your here while we're at it."
 * Applebloom: Well we CAN start off by saying that the Madman your girlfriend went after is dead.
 * Stanly: "REALLY?! THE TYPHOON KING'S GONE?!"
 * Applebloom: "..... Ohhhhh.... Sorry, I thought you meant the Storm King and how he attacked the Hippogriffs."
 * Stanly: ".... Awwww. People always make that mistake because the Storm King was abit more maintream to the land! Besides, remember that said that he was a madman that attacked THE OCEAN, I never said anything about Hippogriffs! The Typhoon King went after the sea abit more while most other clan members did the land abit more- Wait! You said the Storm King is gone, there by meaning why Typhoonie is not taken seriously anymore?"
 * Applebloom: "Well, pretty much. Sorry I got the two confused, we don't exactly know life beyond Equestria that well yet, so-"
 * Stanly: SO THAT MEANS THAT WITH THE STORM CLAN HEAD HUNCHO GONE, THE STORM CLAN WILL LOSE THEIR CONFIDENCE, WHICH MEANS LANDS AND OCEANS WILL RECOVER, WHICH MEANS JASMINA WILL.... YES!!!! YESYESYESYESYEEES!!!! (He shakes the ground in his excitement)
 * Applebloom: OKAY, OKAY, YOU CAN STOP NOW!!! In fact, when we're done here, we can drop by Seaquestria and ask about Jasmina. Well that is, based on what you said, that if she's even IN Seasquestria, but Novo might know what she's up to now a days.
 * Stanly: You... (Sobbing) You'd do that for me?
 * Sweetie Belle: Well, Shrimp Toast here says spending time with you is saddening. We wouldn't want you to live here all alone with a giant catfish forever.
 * Shrimp Toast: "AW GREAT KING SETA DAMN IT, DID YOU HAVE TO TELL HIM THAT MUCH?! NOW HE'S GONNA-"
 * Stanly: AWWWWW, C'MERE!!! (Hugs everyone as they were cartoonishly strangled)
 * Shrimp Toast: "(Gags), Do this, pretty much!"
 * Duke Topaz: "(Strained) Probuly should've mentioned that Stanly's quite the hugger!"
 * Scootaloo: "(Strained) WELL IT'S COMMEN KNOWLEDGE NOW?!"
 * Prism: THANK THE GODS YOU GAVE US THESE MERPONY FORMS, OR WE WOULD'VE BEEN DROWNING BY NOW!!! AHHK!!
 * Stanly: So... (Magically conjures up pizza) Who wants pizza? (The fillies cheered)
 * Shrimp Toast: Ugh! You kids do know you don't have time to waste.
 * Applebloom: I'm sure we have time.
 * In Maud's Cavern Paradise, the three were seen covered in Ice Cream thanks to Stanly's outbursts......
 * Maud: "..... Sorry. That was Stanly. A giant subterriain tenticled fish-eel creature with emotional problems ever since his girlfriend left. His cries causes small earthquakes, which is risky because he lives under a faultline....."
 * Mudbrair: "Tecnecally..... That wasn't a good thing to inform him off."
 * O'Hardknocks: "...... You mean, you lived next, TO ANOTHER SUBTERRIAN MONSTER?!"
 * Maud: "Don't worry. Stanly's friendly and well meaning. Just emotionally distressed."
 * O'Hardknocks: "AN EMOTIONALLY DISTRESSED MONSTER IS STILL A RISK TO EQUESTRIA?! WHEN I GET BACK TO CANTERLOT, I WILL INFORM CELESTIA OF THIS AND ASK HER TO SEND SOME FORMER AGENTS OF THAT NOT THAT SECRET MONSTER CATCHER GROUP TO CAPTURE THIS "STANLY"!"
 * Maud: ".... Keep in mind that his home's underwater. And he's capable of magic. They would sooner end up playing board games and watching Seapony Soap Operas then get anything done."
 * O'Hardknocks: "...... HOW IS EQUESTRIA NOT ALREADY SPLITED IN HALF BY THIS THING?!"
 * Maud: "You can thank Shrimp Toast for that. He pretty much makes sure Stanly's kept calm."
 * O'Hardknocks: "WELL HE DID A POOR JOB THIS TIME AROUND?!"
 * Maud: "... I didn't say he's perfect, but he's good at what he does."
 * Mudbrair: "And tecnecally, Stanly did stopped at all. So, he does have his effectiveness."
 * O'Hardknocks: "...... Can I just be taken somewhere to GET ALL THIS CLEANED OFF?!"
 * Nurse Care Giver lookes on forlornedly at the cavern, before taken back to reality!
 * Nurse Care Giver: "D'oh! Oh, uh, I did see a NICE spa here!"
 * O'Hardknocks: "Good! Now take me to that Spa!"
 * Maud: "..... Only if you promise to calm down for abit."
 * O'Hardknocks: "CALM DOWN?! HOW CAN I CALM DOWN KNOWING THAT EQUESTRIA'S AT RISK BECAUSE OF SOME HORMOANIAL IMBALENCED SUBTERAINIAN HORROR IS PRONE TO THROW CRYING FITS THAT CAN DESTROY EQUESTRIA EVEN IF IT WAS NEVER HIS INTENT?! HE'S BASICLY LIKE DEVOURUS?! AN UNINTENTIONAL DESTROYER OF EQUESTRIA WAITING TO HAPPEN?!"
 * Mudbrair: "Don't worry Uncle, Shrimp Toast is very good at what he does, he'll keep Stanly calm as he always does. Let's worry about that Spa more, okay?"
 * O'Hardknocks: "Ugh. Fine! BUT, I want to go to the Friendship School DIRECTLY afterwords!"
 * The Trio went on as Nurse Care Giver gave one more forlorned look...
 * Nurse Care Giver: "(Quietly Sad) Sorry Stanly. (Her Uniform reveils a hidden magical sea shell.) O'Hardknocks is at a state where he really needs me. But I haven't forgotten you in the slightist.... Just hope you know that. (She leaves in catching up with the trio, as some Jewelfish over heard that)....."
 * Jewelfish 1: "..... Ya don't think.....?"
 * Jewelfish 2: "That nurse pony acted very weirdly..... And did you notice that weird looking shell she kept in her uniform?"
