The Rise of Luster Dawn (DISCOUNTINUED)

Parent teacher conference

"Hey, you ok?" Pound cake asked his sister worryingly. She had been a bit zoned out for the past few minutes, hardly responding to anything he was saying.

"Huh?" She asked looking up. "Y-Yeah I'm fine."

Pound raised his eyebrow. "Really?"

"Uh huh. Just thinking about some things.."

"Aw c'mon sis, don't let her get to you." Pound said. "She's just trying to get under your skin, she's not worth the trouble."

Pumpkin sighed. "I know, still hurts though..."

Meanwhile out in the other hall- Luster and her friends quietly continued on their way towards the next class, though hardly anyone was thinking about that. The group was silent until Magnolia decided to break the ice.

"Well, that was something huh?" She asked humorously, trying to lighten the mood.

"I can't believe it." Panacea grumbled. "Even after everything, no matter how many times we tell them to stop, those ponies are always hurting others, all because their different! Not even Flurry could change their minds. What a bunch of bullies."

"Sometimes there's just no hope for people." Maggie added. "We can try all we want, but in the end it's up to them. It ain't our fault their a bunch of jerks."

Panacea sighed. "I wish I could have done something, anything! But I was just so afraid-"

"That you'd lose control again?" Maggie said finishing her sentence. "It makes sense that you'd feel that way considering what happened last time. But you don't have to force yourself to fight every battle, at least Flurry stepped in, right Flurry?... Flurry?"

Flurry also wasn't paying attention to conversation, so many things were going through her head. Was that pony right? Had she been to careless with her position? She hardly ever worried about her problems cause she always had the strength to fight back, but not everyone could do that. Not everyone had the opportunities that she had. She thought back on this.

"Sure being royalty isn't easy, but you still have a lot of blessings. Some ponies would kill to have the life you have."

"Did you ever stop to think if others may struggle purchasing basic items because of unfortunate circumstances or problems outside their control?"

They were right. She didn't realize how great she had it. Careless with her status, always whining, always complaining over the dumbest things. From the day she got here she hadn't even stopped to think about all the things she could do for everyone here. Not just being strong for herself, but for others to.

"Yeah, the nerve of some people." Luster said. "And especially Windy, such a brute am I right? She didn't have to go as far as ripping up that poor girl's homework, totally unnecessary. I'm just glad someone finally stepped up to her."

"Oh yeah!" Panacea added. "It was that new girl right? The taller one. What was her name?"

"Dana." Melody mumbled.

"Oh right, that was it. Thanks." Panacea said. "I mean, I'm glad Windy was punished for her rude behavior don't get me wrong. But don't you think she went a little, I don't know... too far?"

"Are you kidding!? She was freaking amazing!" Flurry exclaimed with excitement. "The way she dashed over to her like lighting, given her a good punch right in the kisser. And she just kept on going! Over and over again, going ham on her like nobody's business. Given her every bit of what she deserved. I never would have imagined anyone here, especially a new kid to do something so bold! But damn was I wrong! Girl's got guts, I like her."
