just a sad story on old ponies, and i've not seem one on cheerilee


It was a quite evening in the classroom; Miss Cheerilee was looking though student's homework.

Miss Cheerilee was getting old, she had been teaching colts and fillies since the 90's, it was now mid 2030, her once nice pink purple hair was faded and turning grey, her coat had grey hairs, she still loved teaching.

"So many papers, I'm getting too old for this, I must retire soon"

She said putting a D+ on a paper.

She yawned feeling tried, she looked at the clock it was almost 11o'clock at night.

She sighed looking out the window, she then looked at the desk, it seemed softer tonight.

"Maybe a quick nap will make me feel better"

She said putting her head on the desk.

Miss Cheerilee started to drift off to sleep, she then breathed softly, a few more breaths and then she stopped breathing.

She had passed away in her sleep at her desk pen in hoof and paper everywhere on her desk.

In the morning the students came in and saw Miss Cheerilee on her desk asleep, one little filly tugged at her hoof, trying to wake her.

"Miss, its lesion time, wake up"

She said

But there was no movement, the students talked then one went and got the head master.

He came in and looked at Miss Cheerilee, he then listened hearing no heart beat.

"Class, please go home to your family's no class today"

He said looking sad

The doctor came in after the students had gone home and said that she had passed away in her sleep, they took her away and sent a letter to princess celetia.

The rain battered down at the funeral, Miss Cheerilee lie there in the coffin.

There was her close friends, the grown up CMC's and the shire, the priest stood up and said some words.

"We have gathered here today to say goodbye to miss Cheerilee, a beautiful teacher whose life was taken from us, she will always live on in our hearts and memory's, we will now hear from her friends and family"

He stepped down, as berry punch stepped up

"We knew miss Cheerilee, she was a good teacher, also had a smile on her face, she loved all her students she will be missed, I will always remember her for saying, never give up and never say no"

She started to cry placing a flower on her coffin the CMC's where next to talk about there teacher.

Sweetie bell went first,

"I remember miss Cheerilee, she was always there for me, I used to get my magic spells wrong, but she always said never to give up, and I didn't, I kept at it and now I'm even better then I was a few years ago, I'll miss you miss Cheerilee"

Sweetie bell got down and placed a flower in the coffin.

Next Scootaloo,

"Miss Cheerilee told me that I would fly, and to not stop trying, and that's what I did, thanks to her I kept making my wings stronger, eating my greens and making my wings work hard, thanks to her I got my job as a flying teacher"

She got down sniffing and put a flower in her coffin.

Apple bloom was last,

"Ah knew miss Cheerilee as a teacher but also as someone to talk to, when my cutie mark wasn't there when my friends where, she said to never stop, and to keep going, I did and then at a fair I saw another blank filly, she showed me how to do the tricks with the hoop, and then my cutie mark appeared, miss Cheerilee thank you"

She got off putting a flower on her body.

Big Mac was next he moved on his frame as he too was old,

"I knew Cheerilee, she thought me to be more talkative, all the time I'd only say eeyup, but now thanks to her and her loving ways I talk to ponies more often then I do, but I never thought I'd see the day"

He couldn't finish as he cried, kissing her head as he left.

Next was the pony called shire,

"Cheerilee and I where friends, she made me better at writing and she told me each day I was getting better then one day on my test I was really feeling bad, but she said to just be yourself and I passed, but after that I still went to her, mostly so she could look over my latest work, I miss you Cheerilee"

He got down and put his work that had A+++ on it, he then closed the lid.

"We shell now sing and say our goodbyes as the coffin is lowered"

The choir started to sing as the coffin lowered, the rain beat down on pony's faces, some cried other just left as it was too sad.

Shire stayed, as the rain poured down more, he then filled in the grave and put up the tomb stone in the shape of a chalk board, he then looked at the grave and sighed.

He put a flower on the grave and looked at the stone and what it had to say.

"Here lies miss Cheerilee, teacher, mother, and over all great mare, she loved each of her students, she passed away doing what she loved, marking good grades"

The shire sat at the grave then left crying a little, but everyone visited her grave each year, they would never forget Miss Cheerilee.

The end
