The Minutes Feel Like Hours
By: Fluttershy Date: September 26, 2016, 10:08 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
"You may begin." The teacher announced. After pacing a bit
looked at one particular student. "Fluttershy... that includes
you too."
The wondercolt student was busy staring out the window when
suddenly being called out made her jump dropping her pencil.
"Oh!... I'm sorry." She hid behind her hair blushing when the
attention of the class was on her.
After the students returned their gazes to their own tests,
Fluttershy picked her pencil up quickly and began staring at her
test. She began filling out the questions she knew right away.
Science was tough, but she did try and study.... Even though she
probably could have been more prepared if she wasn't busy
talking to her animals and dreaming about the next trip to Camp
Everfree which was TOMORROW. She was so excited. The nature
walks! The birdwatching! The animals she would see again! This
was going to be so fun... Unfortunately, she was brought back
into reality. There was a test in front of her and at least an
hour between now and the bell. Fluttershy ran her hands through
her hair and tried reasoning through the rest of the test biting
her lip. Occasionally looking up at the clock, which wasn't
going any faster.

Upon starting the test, Rainbow started to go through each
question. Soon enough though, she realized that she had
absolutely no idea what she was doing, mainly because science
wasn't something she was particularly good at compared to PE,
and she had been so busy preparing for heading off to Camp
Everfree that she didn't bother studying. She'd be a liar if she
said she wasn't excited to go. All of the fun activities that
they could do over the course of a week or so. She was then
snapped back to reality when she realized the teacher was
staring at her daydreaming. "Oh, heh, sorry." she said before
going back to the questions and answering them, well, answering
as much as she could as she waited for the test to conclude.

After being dropped off, Fox heads inside and pulls out his
schedule. "Alright, looks like I have science class right now.
Room... 206." Although it's his first time there, it doesn't
take him long to find his destination. Slowly opening the door,
he steps in to realize the bad timing he just has.
"Excuse me, who are you?" the teacher asks as a majority of the
students all look to him.
"Oh, uh I'm here for Science 102. Is this the right room? "
"It is." The mentor answers, looking at his attendance board.
"You must be Foxtrot. You do know that you're late?"
"I do." Foxtrot replies as he closes the door behind him. While
some students return to their tests, most still keep their eyes
on them. "Sorry about that. My ride got into a fender bender on
the way here."
"I see. Well, take a test and find a seat. I'll allow a few
extra minutes for you to catch up."
Foxtrot nods and takes an exam. "Thanks." Looking around, he
finds an empty seat next to a girl with rainbow style hair. Once
he sets everything down, he begins. Within minutes he fills out
40% of the test. Must of the material he's either learned in his
previous school, or by watching the science channel. [I]'I
probably won't need the extra minutes if this is what's on the
exam.'[/i]

Re: The Minutes Feel Like Hours
By: Brash and Carri Date: September 27, 2016, 10:18 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Brash, having already finished the exam before they were even
done being passed out, stares out the window, dreading the
future trip to Camp Everfree. Her father would not allow her to
skip on any social event, seeing that her only reason for still
being in school regardless of her intellect was to network with
her peers, which had so far gone horribly... except with Carri
Air.
Carri Air occasionally tilts her head as she looks over the exam
paper, seeming to not even know how to read it until she puts
her pencil to the paper for a moment then lifts it, checking to
be absolutely sure her answer is right. Fortunately she receives
extra time for her tests after school.
The arrival of Foxtrot doesn't disturb Brash's plotting, though
it does thoroughly distract Carri who makes sure to pay
attention to every word the teacher says at any time.

Fluttershy’s eyes followed the new student who came in and saw
him get to work quickly. She in the meantime was finished with 3
out of the 5 open ended. The last two were hard and she couldn’t
figure it out. She also was pretty impressed by her written
response. She began to work through more questions that she
didn’t understand before she got a bit thirsty. She rooted
through the sides of her bag to grab a bottle.
“Fluttershy what are you looking for?” The teacher suddenly
spoke up looking right at her.
The student give a small scream and jumped causing her to drop
the bottle as it rolled over by Rainbow Dash. “Im sorry… It is
just my water bottle… I’m sorry… I should’ve taken it out
before….” She was getting quieter with every word and eventually
stopped talking when the teacher nodded.

Well, there was a pretty good chance that at this rate Dash
wouldn't finish the test. Foxtrot's entrance certainly didn't
help matters as she struggled to get back on course. She was
starting to get back to the question she was on before she heard
the sloshing of water coming from Fluttershy's water bottle
rolling towards her. She simply kicked it up with her foot into
her hand and passed it over to Fluttershy, before noticing that
the teacher was looking at her again sternly. She was quite a
favorite for the teachers to glare at wasn't she? "Sorry teach,
just giving back her water bottle, no biggie." she said, going
back to her test, not really taking notice in the other
students.

Before he knew it, Fox was finishing up the last essay question.
While he understood and answered most of them to the best of his
ability, he did add some filler just in case. With the last
question answered, he heads up and submits his test. On the way
back to his seat, he does get a few looks from his classmates.
Still, he pays them no mind, sits down, and doodles.

"Thanks Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy softly responded after quickly
returning to her test. When she saw Fox hand in his paper her
jaw almost dropped. Did he even fill anything out? Theres no way
he could've... Focus on yourself Fluttershy. She chugged through
the rest of the test before standing up as well and handing it
in and returning to her seat. The day was almost over.

---------------------------------------------------------
Applejack hummed to herself quietly in thought, mindlessly
chewing on the end of her pencil as she looked the test over in
its entirety before answering any questions. The header on the
front page of the test prompted,
"Science 102: The Basics. Please read each question thoroughly
from beginning to end and follow all directions. Open ended
questions must be written neatly and completely. Answer to the
best of your ability. You have until the end of the class period
to complete this exam."
The phrase beginning to end caught her eye. Teachers would
sometimes trick their own students with a deliberate prompt like
that. While most students would gladly scratch away with their
pencils and brains, there would be one question, somewhere near
the end, that would prompt students to simply turn in their test
without answering any of the questions. Applejack, however, was
unfamiliar with most of her teachers so early in the year, but
hey... There was always that chance.
She skimmed through each page, reading each question carefully
before coming to a conclusion with a solid frown. This was a
real test... Oh well, she thought, returning to the beginning as
she started to answer the questions. Science wasn't Applejack's
best subject, leaning more towards history, or athletics like
Dash, but she did study. Most of the questions came easily,
fully concentrated as she blows past the multiple choice and
fill-in-the-blank sections. Not even Foxtrot's unanticipated
entrance, nor Fluttershy's sudden squeak caused her to lose
focus. Having a miniature megaphone as a little sister seemed to
improve Applejack's focus, after all.
The writing portion, however, broke her stride. She tapped her
boots together in thought, reaching up to pull her hat down-- oh
right... It was hanging up by the door. Applejack frowned,
shaking her head as she returned to the test. The questions
weren't necessarily hard, but she found it difficult to answer
something through writing. Flowery language and MLA formatting
just wasn't her thing. She looked up at the clock for the first
time since sitting down, reading a little after half-hour.
Shucks, she thought, scribbling her answers down as quickly as
she could before standing up to turn her paper in, just moments
after Fluttershy.
Now, she can relax, staring up at the ceiling as her mind
wandered elsewhere for the moment.

Rainbow made little progress on the test since giving Fluttershy
her water bottle. But she was determined to push on. She finally
got up to the last question before looking up at the clock. 'Oh
jeez, 5 minutes left!?!?' she thinks to herself, rushing through
the last question, finally handing her test in with a minute to
go before sitting back down on her seat. 'Well, add that to the
list of failed tests...' she thinks to herself as she watches
the clock.
