"So, this is what a School is like?"
"Well, downplay the magic, and everything coming to life; but yeah. What was your time here like? Didn't you hang out with anyone?"
"I told you. Tai wanted all the emotion towards him. Everybody else...….we're just teammates. There were no best friends, stand ins, sleepovers; pranks, none of that.
"Ummmmm."
"Guess you could use this School just as much as others."
"Kids, I am not your personal Taxi. You can walk."
"But we've been walking all day. Can you carry us just this once?"
"Just this once and no more?"
"No more. We promise."
"Sorry about this. They are usually much more adult at home."
"Adult?"
"Uhoh. Did I say a bad word?"
"I don't know your name, but I do know your style. These are Kids…..Ma'am. Not adults.
If you treat them as such, then the moment your back is turned, they will start acting childish because they have so much stored potential. Problem is, they are now adults and won't get just a hand slap. So, please; let them get their energy out now, so you don't have to pay for their downfall later.....Please.
As used to be Mayor, I know.
I see it everyday."
"Well, just know that we are not going to ask for a Piggyback ride from you."
"I wouldn't dream of it.
You have two legs."
"Ugghhhh."
"Smart, able to talk back, give and receive; but also help raise.
Good eye, Elwin."
"I thought you said I had a bad eye?"
"I did? Huh?
…Must have been your left one."
"You little….."
"Everyone, everyone; calm down. I'm not done giving you the tour of…."
"Rosa, don't say you too don't know what a School is. It's not a Church, you know."
"I know. It's just….."
"Now we know what we're working with."
"Just thought apprentices were a lot cooler. This is not going to be a walk in the park."
"They'll figure that out, but for right now...…come on!!!!!!"
"Rainbow, wait."
"Rosa, today; none of us are Queens. None of us are Kings. None of us are Nobles. None of us are Swordsmen, and none of us are Knights."
"Then what are we?"
"Friends.
No use training on a fake diamond. Your hard work will never make a real one. At least, now we know their ture character they like to hide from others,
That, Rosa...…That....is what we want to train."
"How do you train a Rogue?"
"......SET.....HUTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Yeah. Yeah."
"Jake, why don't we...
*Phooooooooooooooo*
"................Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...huuuuuuuwwwweeewww…"
"Ummm."
":...Gulp."
"You?"
"Upp."
"What's happening right now? The room is so silent that a penny could…."
"I SAID NO TALKING!!!!"
"Yes."
"Rainbow, what are you…."
"Shut it, Ruby."
"Hmm."
"Sister, what are you…."
"You too."
"Uhoh."
"......What's uhoh?"
"Kyle, Rainbow doesn't need Swords to pierce one's heart."
"Gulp."
"When I look around this room, guess what I see?"
"A bunch of weaklings?"
"Jake?"
"What?"
"YES!!!!!!!!
..A BUNCH OF WEAKLINGS.
Just like my Kingdom."
"Hey, that's my Kingdom too."
"But your Kingdom is the only Kingdom that has never once been seiged upon. Not once has it fallen to other Rulers."
"Exaclty. Do you want to know why?"
"Uhhh."
"People think we are just a huge bouncy funland, filled with Candy up to your ears; and milk that squirts out your nose. No way warriors are born there. That's impossible. How do they even train? How do they even survive? How do they...…..resist?
I'll tell you.
The very thing people see in us, we use against them as motivation. All they see is the Surface, never underneath. Just like all of you Little critters frolicking happily in the forest. One day you're a Mouse, but in the right hands, the next day you might become a hero."
"Hey?"
"Theresa, I'm sorry. Just was using you as an example.
Never let anyone count you out and put a label on you. But if they do, show that you can just peel it right off.....and then stick it to their face, cause that's all it is.
They are blinded by their perception of you, so will never be prepared for when you kick."
"Rainbow, you do know that not everyone here will be an animal."
"It's all about Perception."
