Battle of the Bulge II: Fit to be Fat (10)

“Oh the paper’s here. *she picks up the paper and opens it. What’s this? Pudgyville is for the lazy and stupid who don’t know about diet and proper exercise?! Alright, we must meet in our clubhouse,” said Bright Eyes. [Inside their clubhouse…]
“Attention, everyone. Bright Eyes has some important news to share,” said Starlight tapping on a tea cup.
“I found this article in today’s paper. It talks about how we just sit around doing nothing and uses the photos we saw the other day as proof,” explained Bright Eyes.
“The mayor needs to know about this,” stated Bon Bon.
“Who exactly is our mayor?” asked Clover.
“Well it was the same pony that helped make the home for the Green-Winged Songbirds’ home a national landmark but he’s since passed away so I don’t know what this town or Ponyville will do to replace him,” said Bright Eyes.
“No mayor will come work for porky ponies like you all,” laughed Stella.[That night, at Clover’s house…]
“Alright, do we have everything up and ready?” asked Bright Eyes.
“Absolutely,” said Melody.
“Ditto,” said Starlight.
“Ready to go,” agreed Bon Bon.
“Good. Thanks for letting us sleep over, Clover. Your house was closer than our usual clubhouse,” said Bright Eyes.
“It was my mom that really allowed it. I would’ve let you guys come over any time,” said Clover.
“No trouble at all. Clover said it was important so really I couldn’t refuse,” said Clover’s mom.
“Well tomorrow we see what happens. For now, we sleep,” said Bright Eyes.
“Night, Bright Eyes,” said Bon Bon.
“Night, Bon Bon,” said Sweetheart.
“Goodnight, Sweetheart,” said Bon Bon.
“Goodnight, Ms Clover,” said Starlight.
“Goodnight all,” said Clover’s mom leaving the room. *Everyone sleeps* [The next morning…]
“Clover, time for school,” called her mother.
“Wake up everybody, the bus is here,” said Clover.
“Guess we’ll just have to wear what we have on now for the day,” said Melody as they all scramble onto the bus.
“I think we just made it. We aren’t even there yet and I’m already beat,” said Bon Bon.
“You’re beat? I put on about a pound last night,” said Patch. *A sudden vibration begins from underneath the bus*
“I think we’re not the only thing beat around here,” said Starlight. *The bus grinds to a halt*
“Sorry folks, can’t go any further until the bus is fixed. If you don’t want to be late, you’re going to have to walk the rest of the way,” said Ed the bus driver. *The others moan, get off the bus and begin the remaining walk to the school* [At the school…]
“Where are they? They’re never this late,” said Hackney concerned. *The class comes in the door tired out*
“Our bus broke down, Ms Hackney and that’s why we’re late,” explained Bright Eyes.
“How unfortunate. I think your current weights might be part of the reason,” replied Hackney.
“We did recently put on a couple of pounds,” said Starlight.
“We may have to bike ride over here now,” said Bon Bon.
“Me, bike ride? That won’t even be remotely comfortable,” protested Melody.
“I think I have an idea,” said Hackney. [Later that day…]
“Cool, this means we don’t have to actually be in class anymore,” said Patch.
“I’m glad you like it, Patch but you all still need your education and I’ll be sending each lecture to you all each day, at least until the bus is fixed,” said Hackney in the video.
“One pony’s laziness lead to another pony’s good idea. Thanks Ms Hackney,” thought Starlight.
