The day was warm as the school in Ponyville bustled. Other colts and fillies chased each other around on the play ground. one such filly stayed off to one side watching the others. Her pale eyes watching the others. It wasn't long that they would be called back inside and she had something to present to the class. It was her turn to show something she enjoyed. Others had presented their interests throughout the morning and past couple days. Dolly had waited her turn. Now a bit nervous, she hadn't done this in front of many faces. "Stay calm Dolly, You have your favorite dolls. The ones your father gave you." She breathed, trying to calm herself. "You have even practiced many times while everyone else was asleep..." She hadn't wanted to, she wanted to share her interests with everyone.. And now it was that time.
The bell rang to call everyone inside. The black and rainbow markinged filly took another deep breath. This was it... It was now or never. Turning from her shaded corner of the play yard, the young unicorn followed everyone else inside. Her puppet stage had been set up before recess and now waited curtains closed.
"Here goes nothing..."
Mandible was a very new addition to Ponyville School, he'd come to learn more about other ponies, well.. ponies other than changelings, he was small, more than usual for his size and had been bullied terribly back at the hive so when an offer of fostering had come around, he'd jumped at the chance.
