"Oh. Um. That was easy. Well, good! Let's go and get some food and you can tell us why you're not Iron even though it's perfectly obvious that you are!" said Wishing Star, happy that everything was working out. Iron was back, sort of; that was good enough news to make her happy. Meeting old friends unexpectedly was always nice. |

Turns out, that there was one more pony still present; and he was most assuredly not pleased about it. Conundrum had brushed off the gryphon's tirade against him, not really in the mood to debate when he was already late for his own class, but then things had gone to Tartarus quickly with shouting, arguing and finally full on bodily harm. Now, he was an outside observer and not getting the full story; but he was also a pony that was in a bad mood and didn't stand for fighting on the school grounds, no matter how old the participants were. His wand was pulled out of his mouth again, then lifted over his head for precisely three counterclockwise circle, then swept downward to point just to the right of the group. A bolt shot out of the star's tip and sparked noisily next the three as the Earth pony hopped forward on three legs. "What in the name of Celestia is going on here!?" |

"Right. Let's just--" Fireflare was about to get off the griffon when suddenly a crazy earth pony shot at them. "Hey! Down! Calm down, geeze, I haven't hurt her!" The pegasus quickly released her prisoner, back off a bit. "See? Totally unhurt, I was just holding her down because... well, that's a long and complicated story involving magic pins." How did you explain something like this to somepony that wasn't there when it happened? "Look, professor--you are a professor, right? The griffon and us have a bit of a history, none of us want to hurt each other, and we are all now headed calmly to a nearby restaurant to sort things out. What happened here is... basically she panicked and I calmed her down. Okay?" |

She growled a little at Wishing Star's insistence on calling her by his name, but that was nothing compared to the sudden spark of magic that flew over their heads. She looked and sure enough it was Captain Surly, "Hey, no need to start flinging spells!" She looked back at Fireflare as she got off and quickly got to her feet, giving the Pegasus mare a little extra room to stand. Next time, flash and fly. Her attention soon returned to the earth pony... spellcaster? How in the hay had he done that? Sibylla watched him and nodded along with some of Fireflare's explanation. Except the last part which she shook her head at, "I didn't panic, I just really didn't want to have to explain any of this, it's a goddesses damned waste of time." She sighed, sat and folded her arms while impatiently tapping a foot. |

Lightning spells. Who fired off lightning spells inside? Why would you threaten somepony with something that dangerous anyway, even if they were fighting in the halls? "Are you insane?!" said Wishing Star, stomping up to Professor Dumbass and swatting his wand aside with a look of absolute incredulity. "What if you had hit a pipe or something and shocked some poor pony who was touching a sink or water fountain? You're an idiot! You don't just start shooting off dangerous magic while you're inside just because you're trying to make an impression or whatever, what if you had hurt somepony? You had better pray that I don't report you for threatening students with magic! Come on, we're leaving." Wishing Star turned and started to walk away from the irresponsible professor, nose in the air. Some ponies were simply morons. |

The Earth Pony quickly galloped over to retrieve his wand. While he knew that it was pretty hard to actually damage, he'd made sure of its durability when making it, he couldn't help but fret over his life's work when it was threatened. However, when it wasn't even scratched, Conundrum turned to glare at the unicorn as she walked away, swishing the instrument to the left and then flicking it right. While it was a strain on it, he could still use the wand to lift things that were about as heavy as him, much like a unicorn could do with magic with enough effort into their telekinesis. He spun the wand slowly turning Wishing Star around, then dropping her back to the floor as he continued to glare. "In case you failed to pay attention, like half the other students in this school who think they're Celestia's gift to the world, I aimed for a spot that was devoid of anything metallic within several pony lengths and purposefully missed both of them. More to the point, I utilize a spell that is inherently non-lethal and nothing more than painful at worst unless you actively try to make it so." He was in her face now, his green eyes narrowed to slits as he continued. "Unlike ponies like you, who think they know everything there is to know about magic simply because they were born with a horn, I have studied, and researched, and taken years out of my life to understand every limitation and application of the power I have. I know how to use it, and use it safely, even if you don't like it. Do not presume to lecture me like you know more than I do." |

"I don't care," began Wishing Star, with a dangerous glint in her eye, "about your intentions, or your stick, or your egomania. I don't care about your pretentious attitude that you use to cover up your racist envy. I don't even care about your inferiority complex. What I do care about is you shooting at my wife." "I don't pretend to know everything about magic; nopony can. It's impossible. I don't give a damn about how competent you may be. Here is the proverbial bottom line of this entire scenario; you threatened my friend and my mare while they were trying to work something out." She leaned closer, too angry to be afraid of the consequences this pony might be able to call down on her. "Do it again, and I'll take that wand and shove it up your ass."

"I have to say, professor, using magic on a student when the situation does not require it is grounds for a potential lawsuit." FIreflare stepped up beside her wife with an unamused expression. "And here you are talking about magic, while my wife is talking about doing something physical and painful. I'm not even going to comment on the irony of that." She draped a wing over Star. "But what I am going to say is this: The situation had been resolved, nopony was injured, and then you deliberately provoked us. It doesn't matter how or why, but you crossed a line. I used to go out and beat up monsters for a living. I never picked fights, though, I only attacked the creatures that attacked ponies." She snorted. "Now get off your pedestal and apologize, before I start to consider you a threat to my mate." Her ear flicked back. "And griffon, don't leave yet, we're still on for lunch." |

Sibylla was stilll sitting there, though when addressed as 'griffon' she let out a loud annoyed exhalation, "My name isn't griffon either! It's Sibylla! That's zi - buy - lah." She looked at the professor for a moment, then away, this was all such a waste of time. Without a further moment's notice she stood and started walking in the direction that Wishing Star had started to, no sense in wasting more time trying to convince some old earth pony fool that he was a dumbflank who obviously wasn't going to apologize for anything he did. |

Conundrum stood his ground, not backing down. Their talk of lawsuits and sacking were empty, at best there was a chance for either of them to get what they wanted. He was not going to be taking crap from these three, not when they had started it with their actions; he would get a a mark on his record- no question- but that record was otherwise spotless, so he wasn't worried. "I will not apologize." He glared back and forth between the other two mares, then focused on Wishing Star. "Everypony is racist; it's called common sense: Unicorns and Pegasi have an unfair advantage over us that we will never overcome; gryphons and kirins and dragons can eat us on a whim and we can do less than half of what you can to fight back. I did my part of level the playing field; you can whine and complain all you want, but I've had enough with you unicorns treating me like less than you just because I'm a bucking dirt pony." He stuck his wand in his mouth and walked away; this conversation was done. |

"Excuse--?! Oh you did NOT just call ME racist!" Fireflare jumped in front of the professor, pressing her hoof into his chest. "MY MOTHER IS AN EARTH PONY, YOU BUCKING BASTARD, AND SHE'S MORE OF A PONY THEN YOU! Do you know why? SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WINGS OR HORNS. She cares about PEOPLE, and she taught ME to care about people too! And I've seen what she can do with those hooves of hers, I've seen what the so-called 'dirt pony' can whip out on unicorns and pegasi, so you have NO RIGHT to go playing the weak and oppressed card. YOu study magic, for crying out loud, you KNOW every race has magic and then you turn around and claim that we are treating you unfairly? YOU ATTACKED US. Wanna know what would happen if a pegasus attacked us? THE SAME FUCKING THING. Unicorn? EXACTLY THE SAME. Griffon? SAME. Dragon? SAME. We would ALWAYS demand reparations, so if you expect special treatment just because of your underling delusion you had BEST look up the words 'equal treatment' before you EVER whip out that wand of yours AGAIN! Now you had BETTER start turning around and apologizing to the pony you practically called a scumbag or so help me I'LL TIE MY WINGS UP AND BEAT YOU TO A PULP EARTH PONY STYLE!!!!" |

Sibylla didn't look, this sort of thing was ugliness at its purest, one pony yelling at another for the other calling them Racist. The gryphon had no time for that, there were more important things to do, like walk. And talk, "Does she do this often?" ((I.E. Skip baby)) |

Conundrum's eyes narrowed again, as a hoof came up and knocked away Fireflare's. The purple pony was in no mood for this; his class had started, he was losing valuable time and he still had an unanswered question burning a hole in his head. Right now; he didn't care that the pegasus was a mixed breed, didn't care that she had an earth pony that raised her, and didn't care about the threat she had implied. He just wanted to get to class and earn his paycheck even if nopony here listened to him. He had to spit his wand out into his hoof again though, as he still couldn't talk around it like some earth ponies managed. "I study magic because I have to, to make a living, to close a gap that exists whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Yes, I can play the weak and oppressed card, because I didn't grow up in the sheltered little world your mother kept you in. Earth ponies are almost never more than farmers; if they're lucky, they can be bakers or construction workers if they're inordinately fortunate and have the right connections. But very few of them are that lucky; we're stuck down in the dirt and making all the things for you ponies, doing a thankless job and being treated as less for it. "As for me, the only reason I have a job doing what I do and haven't had my wand confiscated to be studied by some unicorn who would likely destroy it when they were done with it is because I come from a prominent family here in Canterlot. And even then, I'm lucky if I can find a small hoofful of students who actually listen to a bucking thing I say. No unicorn actually believes that earth ponies have magic, and only about half think pegasi have any either. So stop bragging about how you're the exception to a very widespread rule and leave me the buck alone. I'm not apologizing." He put his wand back in his mouth and walked around the pony. |

"OH NO YOU FUCKING DON'T." Fireflare grabbed the professor's tail and flung him back. "You want to know where I grew up? Manehattan. The slums. Where every day I had to deal with gangs trying to kill me, and my mom had to deal with worse. You have no right to call me sheltered, and actually, YOU'RE the sheltered one. You've gotten to live your little rich pony life and live with your delusions long enough. I am taking your flank RIGHT NOW and hauling it to the POLICE STATION where I will have you charged for ASSAULT WITH MAGIC and you'll be tried like those unicorns you're obviously so fucking desperate to actually BE." She glanced back at Star and Sybilla. "...I'm sorry, I'll have to skip out on lunch." Then she pulled the professor up. "Come on, get going. You want to close the gap, you need to take responsibility for your actions." |
