Bini and Arone trotted towards one of the many elegant staircases in Chaterlot Castle that would eventually lead to the main entrance through a more than necessarily complicated maze of construction. Bini complained about it, as usual, Arone explained to her that the reason it was so complicated was so that it would be easier to get lost if an invasion took place. The enemy would get lost and run around in circles like idiots.
Bini told him that it was a stupid idea. The construction got most of the new recruits lost over the years and even some of the more experienced guards did as well. Arone relented, being too exhausted from working all night for the upcoming field trips to the Castle garden.
"So, I heard a rumour that you are helping guide one of the classes visiting the garden today," Arone said, in an attempt to change the subject. "Thoughts?"
"Well, it is true. Luna suggested that I lead a class to get experience in leadership. I might get a staff soon to help me and I will be head Librarian. To be honest with you, I am not very good at managing that entire Library on my own. So many books." Bini admitted. Her ears falling and blushing in embarrassment.
"I would pay to see you lead that class!" Arone said with a laugh. Bini narrowed her eyes at him as they started to descend that staircase. "I bet it would be the story of the century!"
"Oh, yeah. Laugh it up! I actually have a good plan in place. My plan is to show them the statue area of the garden. Especially Discord. I am excited to see how they will react!"
"Discord? Why? Do you plan on traumatizing them?" Arone asked with the roll of his eyes.
"He doesn't look that bad! Sure, he is a bit creepy but so are all the other statues." Bini argued as they reached the end of the staircase and turned down another corridor. Heading to the main foyer.
"Oh? Are you afraid of statues?" Arone asked.
Bini stayed silent for a moment before answering with a hesitant no.
"OH MY GOS-"
Bini swiftly shoved her hoof into his mouth to keep him quiet as two passing bat pony and a normal guard passed them. She gave them an awkward smile before narrowing her eyes back at Arone. Slowly removing her off from his mouth.
"If you tell ANYPONY about my...slight fear of statues. I will end you." She threatened. Arone nodded and they continued on in awkward silence. They finally reached the main entrance of the castle just as a small class from Ponyville walked in with about twenty students.
The teacher, who introduced herself as Cheerilee gave her a warm welcome. Bini smiled and shook her hoof before signalling Arone to leave before she guided the class towards a nearby hall which would lead to a door straight into the Royal Garden.
Arone quickly galloped off with a snicker as Bini lead them down the hallway and into the garden. First, she showed them the many flower beds, then the area where most of the exotic creatures were chilling out.
Then she finally reached the famous sculpture area of the garden. She raised her hoof to point at the two pony statues signifying victory and defeat. She explained them in detail, then continued on the show off the pony statue about friendship.
The teacher took over and explained to the students each one as they passed more and more statues. Bini lagged behind and trotted behind a group of three fillies with no cutiemarks who seemed to be on the verge of a fight.
"How cool would it be to have that for a cutie mark?" An orange pegasus asked with excitement as she pointed to the friendship statue.
"Cool, if you were actually victoryful at somethin'." The yellow earth pony replied with a roll of her eyes. The white unicorn stamped her hoof. Getting the attention of the two other ponies.
