The main hall is bustling with ponies of all types, griffons, maybe even a few yaks and dragons, all chattering excitedly. Banners reading "Equestria Unity Academy" hang from the high ceilings. A large,diverse group of students are seated,looking around in awe. Sunny stands at a podium near a large, glowing crystal.
Sunny:Welcome to the Equestria Unity Academy! A place where ponies and creatures from all walks of life can come together to learn the one thing that connects us all. The Magic of Friendship!
The crowd cheered as they are excited to be here! You are a new student too, mostly nervous to make new friends since you moved over to Mare time bay as a Kirin.
(A Kirin is a breed with magical abilities and unique physical characteristics,mostly can transform into fiery Niriks but you don't have to be that if you want. You can be every creature or pony you want.)
Sunny:We’ve all learned valuable lessons on our journey to bring magic back to this world and now,we're here to share those lessons with you!
She gestures to her friends,who each step forward as she introduces them.
Sunny:Izzy Moonbow will guide you in creative connection and finding your inner sparkle! Hitch Trailblazer will teach community skills and how every little action helps harmony bloom! Pipp Petals is our expert on confidence and reaching out to the world! Zipp Storm will challenge you with logic, bravery and independent thinking! And Misty Brightdawn will lead workshops on empathy and the power of second chances.
Misty blushes,looking encouraged by the warm reception.
Sunny:This is a new generation, a new era. Let's make our mark,together!
The room erupts in applause and cheers. Sunny and her friends share a group hug. The crystal in the center of the room shines even brighter. The applause winds down. Students begin to stand, collecting their orientation packets. Sunny and the crew manage the flow of traffic.
Hitch:Alright folks, classes start in ten minutes! Art studios are to your left, logic labs upstairs and please,keep the hallways clear!
After they finally got their schedules ready,they galloped over to their classes. Your class is Izzy's so you hopefully won't mess up on your first day of school.
Izzy’s classroom is covered in glitter, paint and various crafting supplies. Unicorns are carefully bending wire. Pegasi are cutting ribbons with newfound precision and Earth Ponies are sorting beads. The air is full of cheerful chatter as you galloped inside.
Izzy:Okay,everypony! Look at the prompt board! Today’s challenge!?
Izzy take a deep breath as she is excited,explaining more details with a smile.
Izzy:Build a "Dream Bridge" using only these pipe cleaners,yarn and two paper cups! The catch? You have to incorporate an idea from the pony sitting next to you!
A blue Pegasus student named Gust and a yellow Unicorn student named Pipette immediately look at each other with confusion.
Gust:Paper cups? How does that help with bridge stability? That makes zero sense!
Pipette:And yarn? That’s for knitting!
Izzy:Exactly! Collaboration isn't about agreeing on the perfect material. It's about making imperfect materials work together! Gust. Pipette has an idea she can't execute without your flight ability. You can't use her idea without her magic! Figure it out!
Izzy dances off to help another group, leaving Gust and Pipette to eventually start laughing and working together, using the cups as foundational pillars and weaving the yarn tightly around the pipe cleaners with a combination of magic and speed. As they continue getting creative,the bell begins to ring as time is up.
Izzy:That's a wrap,every creature! We're BRB for more creativity!
The creatures,even you begin to pack their pack as they are off on a snack/hang out break before coming here. The courtyard is vibrant,filled with students of all species sitting together. Zipp watches a group from her Logic class debating a chessboard strategy. Hitch is surrounded by a dozen fluffy,happy critter pets. Sunny sits with Izzy and Pipp near a sparkling fountain.
