Friendship is Teamwork!!!, Wednesday, Period 1
The class room today was absolutely covered with terrible motivational posters.
Did you kids feel motivated yet? Did you? You better feel freakin' motivated or so help them…
"Today we're talking about… mission statements," Derek said, making the last part seem like he was attempting to speak Chinese. And his Chinese was awful. Just awful.
"Mission statements are super fun!" Pinkie said, a bit like if she said it cheerfully enough it had to be true. "And they're really useful. They can help you figure out what your values are and what you really really really want out of life, which helps you figure out what kind of team you want to be on. If your values don't match your team's values, then it's not really going to work out very well."
Between that and some basic communication, you could succeed! Unless you live in Beacon Hills. In which case, don't talk to anyone unless it's off camera. And ruins lives.
Yep.
Derek was giving Pinkie a look at wondered if she could have enthusiasm like that for everything. "We can start."
He stared at Pinkie some more. Because, let's be real, he wasn't that great at this.
She could, you know. Everything. As long as someone liked it, it was generally okay by Pinkie. "My mission statement is that I will throw parties and do whatever I can to make everypony happy, because making people smile makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and super gooey inside and then I smile right on back!"
Please, like you thought her mission statement would be anything else? She was basically the most adorable thing on the planet. Well, right up until her sudden failure to make someone smile drove her to a psychotic break, anyway. Fear it.
"Sure, that works," Derek said, glad he didn't have to come up with any. Because he totally agreed with 'smile at people'.
"Deeeeereeeeeek," Pinkie said. "You can't just borrow somepony else's personal mission statement. That's totally defeating the point."
You can't make him come up with a mission statement, Pinkie. Well, you probably could if you threatened tears, but that would be mean. Don't do that to him.
Derek sighed, looking away. "Fine. I will…" Oh god, this was both painful and horrible for him. "Help people when I can?" Because everything he could have said was too depressing.
"That'll work!" Pinkie cheered. "So everypony, you're going to make mission statements of your very own! They can be whatever you want them to be. You can work on them by yourselves or pair off with a friend! Just get writing!"
