fandomhigh | Friendship is Teamwork!!!, Wednesday, Period 1

First class of the semester and you all know what that means, right? Riiiiiiiight?

Really? We're gonna play this game? Fine, we're playing this game. And you're all getting such a disappointed look for not being able to respond to narrative.

Come on, people, the fourth wall is right there. Pinkie does not understand your inability to break it when it would be most amusing. And somewhere… Deadpool was wondering just why he wanted to punch punk-ass teenage werewolves.

Anywho. The classroom was pretty much your basic classroom, though someone had helpfully written "TEAMWORK" in large, friendly, somewhat shaky letters across the front board. (What? Writing English with hooves on a board was hard, okay?) Pinkie and Derek were at the front of the class, Pinkie's left front leg tied to Derek's only right leg. Pinkie looked thrilled by this. Derek looked like he was having his teeth pulled. So, par for the course.

"Hi hi hi, everypony!" Pinkie greeted, and attempted to bounce -- only to nearly faceplant when Derek decidedly did not bounce with her. "Welcome to Friendship is Teamwork!!! If we haven't met yet, I'm Pinkie Pie, and this is my bestest ever team teacher Derek! And we're teaching this 'cause we're just such a good team!"

Yes. That was it. That was the reason that made total sense.

Derek sighed like the big ol' drama llama he was. "Welcome to the class," he said, not sounding particularly welcoming. But he was contributing to a ~*~team~*~. One that did not involve Scott McCall.

Nyeah.

"It's the first day, so same as you've done in your other classes," he said, making sure to keep his foot planted on the ground. "Name, grade, and something you think you contribute to a team."

See, if he got this done quick enough, he might not be attacked with glitter.

"And then after you all can just chat amongst yourselves with a little getting to know you party!" Pinkie flung her free hoof into the air, releasing a veritable ~~glow~~ cloud of sparkles.

Or not.

Like the member of a team!

Scott McCall

Alex Aaron

Cordelia Chase

Isaac Lahey

Billy Kaplan

Wonder just how Derek gets himself talked into these things.

Oh, look, it was scowly-creepy-scary-dude from the picnic.

Annnnnnd a pink pony. Okay. Right. Scott was just going to... oh so subtly look around and see if anyone was as weirded out by this as he was.

Isaac spent the lecture trying not to laugh out loud. It kind of sounded like he was choking but it was an enjoyable choking. In the not dirty sense.

Name, class, and what you can contribute to a team.

"Scott McCall, sophmore, and... I generally play attack in lacrosse but I can do midfield too?"

... Okay, Scott, 1) they probably hadn't meant sports team when they'd said "what can you contribute to a team?" and 2) that was a lie, you are terrible at lacrosse as you've yet to acquire any awesome werewolf skillz.

"Oh neat!" Pinkie said. She was nothing if not enthusiastic, after all. "What do you do on other teams?"

Yeah, it was too bad the hot piece of teacher was tied to a pony at the moment.

"I'm Cordelia Chase, a senior, and I pretty much do everything," she said.

The thing was, she said that with zero trace of snark or irony.

"That doesn't really sound like teamwork. Unless you mean you can do everything, so you can fill in where your team might have gaps?"

"I'm Isaac Lahey, I'm a junior," he said. "And I believe my special teamwork talent is telling the leader when he's being a jackass."

"Ooo! Does that happen a lot on your teams?"

"A few times," Isaac said. "Luckily I recently moved on to better leadership."

"But then what do you do on that team?"

"Get sent off to a boarding school." Well, that was honest.

"That doesn't seem very teamlike at all." Pinkie was sympathetic, not judging. "We'll find another place for you, don't you worry!"

"I'm Billy Kaplan, I'm a senior, and I bring, um... enthusiasm, maybe? I don't let me friends give up," he said.

Pinkie squealed in delight. "That is so important! My friends and I back home never let each other give up. Good for you!"

When they ping in, natch.

Pinkie was so, so excited for this new semester. It was going to be the Best. Semester. EVER!

You know, since the last one.

And Derek was questioning all his life choices as he brushed glitter out of his hair. Oh god, it was in his beard too! His poor, artfully crafted bead stubble!
