“I can see it now! Princess of Jealousy Twilight sparkle! Bent on ruining her competition.” Said the voice of the concolt Flim, with his partner in crime Flam right next to him.

That caught Twilight’s attention; it even made her eyes widen by initial shock of the threat. ‘They wouldn’t… would they? If they did something like that…’

“So sad” Flam’s voice entered, breaking her thoughts, “A news story like that would destroy your reputation. Nopony would want to go to YOUR school after that!” He said getting closer to her. 

Before she could control herself, she found herself extremely scared, tears forming on her eyes in fear as she stared back into the eyes of her competition. As much as she hated to admit it, they had the upper hoof. If those photos were released to the public. Nopony would come… all of her work would have been for nothing.

They continued to tease all of the possibilities and outcomes of what would happen if her photo got sent out to Equestria.

She was thinking frantically on what to do — anything that could give her a chance at rebuttal. But then she heard some words of hope in the midst of their threatening. 

“Unless… you do your share to fix the problem you have made here today.” Flim said happily, with his twin standing next to him, smiling just as brightly. It made Twilight uncomfortable. What could he be talking about, whatever it was, it was something sinister. She knew them, they were the bad guys, they have to be stopped or reformed, and these two have been given more than enough chances. 

“What exactly do you two have in mind?” she asked raising an eyebrow at the two business ponies. 

They looked at each other and Flam smiled, “Well, you seem to be acting immature, and in need of a good lesson, so you are going to have to enroll at Friendship University for a whole day!” … “ It will be slightly unorthodox since you will require a new lesson plan” Flim followed up immediately after his brother finishing for him. 

Twilight couldn’t help but gulp once more. She would have to suffer through the humiliation of going to a friendship school! She ran her school! She would definitely give them a piece of her…  “Unless you don’t care about your school being closed down…” Flam said, interrupting her thoughts. He must have seen through Twilight’s expression.

She rolled her eyes, "Fine. What do you want me to do, go to a classroom? " she asked feeling rather annoyed. The sooner she got this over with, the sooner she could get out of this place. But she did not like what she saw, it was the two of them, simultaneously shaking their heads.

"tut tut, we simply do not allow rudeness such as eye rolls here Ms. Sparkle." Flim sighed, and while Flam added on, "And that attitude towards this is not a good mindset to have. You need to be willing to learn. I think before the lessons it will be best to help break you into the methods of the school. Everypony went through orientation, but yours will be slightly more... physical." 

He said seeming to have found the word he was looking for. 

She was confused by what he was talking about, but her questions were quickly answered by Flam, who had walked over and took and walked past her. 

She was about to ask what was happening, but a firm green aura surrounded her ear, and it was tugged up rather firmly. 

"Aie!" she exclaimed and the slightly burning sensation she felt in her ear. The aura tugged her ear in the direction of Flam who continued walking, and without much of choice, Twilight followed suit.

"Flim! Flam! Stop this!" she said still struggling to keep up as he had not made it easy for her. Her first thought that came in her mind was to just fight back. But she couldn’t. They still had too much on her, and if she fought them, they could still report her. So for now, going along with them was the best option. 

He kept her ear in a high grip making her have to walk on her tip hooves so that she wouldn't feel addition pain. Furthermore, he held the aura going at different speeds, so she had to match it. Consequently, she kept hurting her ear by going too fast, or too slow.

They took her along the corridor, and she was desperately hoping the students haven't arrived. She planned this little plan of hers in the early morning. She had designed it so that they would both be asleep.

Boy did that work as planned...

"I can walk you know!"

She said while she still was struggling, hoping they would listen to her. To her surprise, they looked at each other. Almost as if they were internally communicating with each other.

Which is completely impossible, she had researched studies to the brains of twins, and how they were definitely, most certainly NOT able to mentally communicate.

However, they looked back at her, and Flim spoke first. "I tried to talk him out of it Ms. Sparkle, but professor Flam here makes a good point, this is a punishment."

To which Flam responded,   “This IS a punishment, isn't it Ms. Sparkle?"

Oh no, she was not going to be their plaything, to say whatever they want her to say. So she remained silent, great plan right? Apparently, it was not, as her ear was pulled further up so that she could barely stand tall enough to handle it, and the grip felt much tighter as well.

"Isn't it Ms. Sparkle?" Flam repeated firmly, almost threateningly. 

"Owie! Yes, fine, it's a punishment." She said blushing. There, thank Celestia she was able to say that. But it wasn’t enough for him.

"It's a punishment, sir." Flam corrected with a smile.

She looked at him with a, 'are you serious?' look on her face.

Which of course, he seemed to understand as he nodded. "As your teacher, I think a degree of respect is in order. Don't you think?" He was smiling as he said so, and even Flim rolled his eyes in an amused manner. "Yes, it is a punishment...sir," she said, still somewhat reluctantly.   They both nodded, and they went back to walking.

Twilight, who was too focused on having to address them as "sir" and having to accept it's a punishment, she did not even realize they had stopped moving. But once the pulling began, she instantly winced and continued to walk along with them.

Luckily, they had kept a steadier pace, so she was able to walk in a manner that was least painful, Within 3 minutes, they had reached one of the classrooms. It was standard, the two windows, four rows of desks going back six chairs each. There was a front desk, with papers that were crammed everywhere, finishing it off with a classic blackboard. An excellent room, even Twilight could admit that. It was actually quite professional. 

Flim went to the front desk to help set up, while Flam talked to Twilight, "So here's the deal, Ms. Sparkle, you're going to be a student for a day. You will learn some friendship lessons planned out for you, and your behavior, or, it will be made for you. We, of course, haven't had time to make one yet, but we will. 

She sighed, "Y-Yes sir," she said, hoping to get this day of learning over with, luckily, it may give her what she needs to prove that they aren't legitimate because there is no way their lessons will be sufficient in teaching friendship.

He smiled, "But! We are going to treat this as early morning detention, for all your troublemaking ways.” That caught her attention. What did he mean? S-She had never gotten a D- a D-...detention... ever before. Never!

"W-w-what do you mean, d-detention?" She asked She forgot the fact that she wasn't a student anymore. She was in a mindset of her younger self. A student, back in school, what if this detention showed up on her permanent record!

"I mean, well, we'll show you," Flam said once again bringing a mischievous smirk to his muzzle. And he put his aura around her ear bring her closer to the front desk.

"OW! " Was the pained vocal word of choice for poor twilight, who was forced to come where her ear was pulled to. She rubbed her poor ear as she waited for what he was going to say next.

"Now, I'm sure you're familiar, but, for fun, I'll tell you. Hooves on the desk, and keep that tail raised. Any attempt to lower the tail, or to block the upcoming swats of the upcoming SPANKING, we will be forced to add further correction." 

Twilight's jaw dropped. He was planning on... No... He couldn't possibly be considering. "A-a spanking?"She asked it came out more of a whimper. She was a grown mare! 

"Why yes, a spanking Ms. Sparkle. Unless you would prefer us to send a picture to every headline in ponyville.”  Flam threatened, while Flim, who had returned from a quiet manner to speak up. "It is quite deserved ms. Sparkle, now get into position."

Even he had a firm tone in his voice. Twilight gulped, 
‘okay Twilight, you've been spanked before, it will be okay.'

'Yes, but not in years!!'

'I know it will hurt, but it is for the school, all we have worked for,'

'I don't like it, but I guess I'm technically with you to the end.'

After a second of thought, and a bit of an internal conversation, Twilight obeyed the order and stood on her hind legs. Her balance was never great, (the best she had ever done was balancing on a lily pad) and she hobbled her front hooves down on the desk. 

She had been in this position once or twice as a filly, but she was always the least spanked in the class, except for that one year where Moondancer got spanked one time less than her, they argued about that a lot, and consequently, both got spanked that day. 

She swallowed some her pride, and slowly rose her tail, and she kept it high enough so that her rump was a perfect position to be... to be spanked. She laid it gently across her back. 

"That's a good girl, Ms. Sparkle." Flim praised as he got a ruler from his drawer and handed it to Flam, which he took, "well brother mine, I think that is your cue, ready? I'll take care of scolding this naughty filly; she definitely won't be doing that again!"

Twilight blushed at the statement, especially getting called a naughty filly. But she really didn't have a place to say what she thought. 

"Oh yes my lovely brother, I am extremely ready to give her some reminders to not steal and try again." 

Unknowingly to twilight his took aim and raised the ruler, and swiftly brought it down with a firm hit to her bottom.

SMACK

The impact came, but it took almost a second for the pain to resonate with Twilight.  "A-Ah!" she gasped slowly. Having not been on the receiving end of a spanking for a good ten years, it was something she definitely wasn't looking forward to. But after the first came, the second followed closely behind. 

She gave the usual winces, and grunts, with an occasional yelp. It was painful... as expected. Flam kept raining down smacks to her behind with the ruler. Each one making a small ruler shape mark on her fur, making it bottom full with pink lines. 

Soon, she was feeling pain spread throughout her bottom. However, her face flushed with embarrassment as she was a grown mare actually receiving a spanking, and by two crooks while at it. She covered her face with her hooves so that she could wipe her eyes that were watering slightly.

This plan of hers was unsuccessful for Flim took her hooves with his own, bringing them back down to the desk, keeping her teary-eyed face in the open.

"Now now Ms. Sparkle, we can't have that during your punishment. If you are feeling humiliated, if you are feeling shame, if you’re ashamed… then that means we are doing our job." His voice was calm and fluid, but it still came with a bit of power that matched his tone well. It was firm, but more at ease than Flam's.
  
"OWW!" Her thoughts were interrupted like they were constantly as she became a victim of yet another smack to her bottom. 

Flim continued to talk to her a she got her rump consistently smacked."Now, let's start simple. Why are you here getting a spanking Ms. Sparkle? "

Twilight sighed, she might as well cooperate, maybe she would get a lighter sentence. "I oww, am being spanked for sticking my nose in oww! in your business." She said this, not believing it was deserved, but knew it would be what he wanted. 

"Well, not quite, yes you were doing that, and that is wrong. But, it goes deeper than that, you automatically think we are trying to be up to something. We are here teaching these wonderful lessons to ponies, but you're worried about the competition. That's quite selfish isn't it?" 

That caught Twilight off guard. With the raging spanks contacting her rump, it was hard to focus, but his message had made her think. Was it true? No! It is not!."Well, why should I believe you! You have been up to no good for the past three interactions with you two!"  She slight outburst was rewarded with five firm spanks to her sit spots.

"AH! OWW, Okay Okay! Fine! OWW Stop!"

While she was whining about the harsher spanks, Flim continued.  "Alright Ms. Sparkle, while I will say our Flim Flam Miracle Curative Tonic may have been a hoax, but we have learned from that past mistake. However, our Super Cider Squeazy 6000 was most definitely not a hoax! We were a competitive business that worked wonderfully, and we were able to help the production rates with that machine than the six elements of harmony and three other relatives of the apple family. Our only setback was that we tried to speed up the process which made the machine not work as functioned. And whose fault was it that made us turn that machine on so fast? You all wouldn't let our business work like yours did, we wanted to make a deal, but you said no. Our work, our business failed because of the pride of the Apple family!"

Twilight was looking down. She didn't want to feel remorse, or sadness for what he was going through. Flam's spanks were still coming down one after the other, and her little squeaks turned to louder yelps and weak little kicks as her purple flank shone bright pink and a few underlying light red marks appeared. 

"Yeowch, ow,... look ow, I'm sorry we owww hurt your business, but the apples AH! Worked hard and we are friends OWW, and we tried to Help OWW! Our AAHH! Friends!" She defended, maybe bringing friendship into this would go in her favor, since it was part of the problem between them.

Flam had increased the intensity of the spanks as Twilight had shifted her apology into an excuse. With the spanks getting harder, Twilight ceased her talking, and Flim took this as a cue to keep going. " Well, to continue, the other time I encountered Ms. Jack was when we needed help. Flam and I had some... personal business partnering problems. That aside, here's a major problem, You weren't there for any of those later two situations. You cannot simply judge us by the tale of another. Sure to her it was true, but that was her opinion, have you ever thought to hear us out? To see how we think of any of this situation where we are blamed as the perpetrators?"

He asked with a raised eyebrow, lifting twilight yelping face as her rump was getting redder and redder with each next swat to her derriere. 

Twilight was in a predicament. She started to see a point that Flim was making, but each BUCKING time she tried to think about his point, Flam hit her flanks with his stupid 12in again. Tears were starting to fall freely out of her eyes 'I-I guess I wasn't there, do I have the right to ju…’ “oowwww!!!...” ‘ Hm, I never did ask Applejack to share the situation from the…’ “iAAIEEE! OW Please!" 

Her thoughts often lead to very vocal reactions from her muzzle. Her front hooves shook, and she moved them to wipe some tears from her eyes, but Flim placed them back on the table.

"No No, As I said before, I think it's best to have your shame be shown, those tears shouldn't be dried quite yet my dear," he said rubbing her arm as if to soothe her momentarily. It didn't help much since the next swat made her sob and tears fell quicker and harder, and not being able to hold some dignity by wiping her tears made it worse.

The funny part was, while the pain in her rear was awful... and it was awful, like Princess Celestia had sent her rump to the sun and back... She felt something worse. With each spank, a feeling went inwards, deeper past her rump, and into her gut, with each scolding sentence from Flam's mouth, echoing into her heart. She felt... guilt. These two ponies that she always believed, without a doubt in her head were the bad guys. If they were in a situation, it was automatically their doing because they had to be at fault. 

And then it hit her. 
"OWW!
She inwardly would have laughed at the irony if it wasn't that she had a moment of clarity. This isn't the first time this has happened. Memories flood through the channels of her brain, of a blue magician becoming friends with her student, a scheming draconequus friends with one of her best friends. The times where she has judged a pony, or be it creature by their past actions without giving them a chance of changing for the better. 

Unfortunately, her thinking wasn't as deep as she only saw a few vivid imaginings in her head before the next swift flick of the ruler made its mark on her bottom still sticking up in the air. 

Twilight was soon unable to think about her regrets as the pain increased substantially. Her eyes were pouring; she was constantly sniffling, kicking her hooves against the floor. 

"Oww Please!! I'm Sorry!! You're right!! I Should've OWWW Thought about your perspectives. I-I disappointed you, and m-myself; I should have acted better, hearing both sides AH! B-B-before immediately agreeing with my friends... I'm so sorry SIRSOOWWW!"

As she cried out her little apology, she found herself realizing, the plethora of spanks, had ceased. She was still sobbing heavily, but she knew the relief of understanding, the spanking she had just endured... was over.

"Ah! There's a good filly!" 
Flam said with a heart hoof swat to her bottom, causing a mini howl to escape from Twilight as he was sore enough that the lightest of spanks hit like a dozen paddles.
She whimpered for a few moments, still trying to calm down her heaving. But even though the punishment was finally over... well, she had desperately hoped it was, she felt another small tug from her ear. This time, it wasn't a magical aura, it was Flam's teeth, who gave a firm bite on her ear, enough to have her keep up the pace with him.

"O-Oww, I Thought we were done..." she said weakly. She was dragged to the corner of the room. 

"Not entirely, this is detention, and after a nice bum warming, comes some reflection time in the corner. So I want you to stand here, nose against the wall, and your tail raised. Use this time to think about your behavior.” he corrected.

"Ow, W-What??" She was confused as she was lead to the corner, she thought about the instructions given, they made sense. Timeouts were a foal's punishment, and she was being treated like a foal, fiery red freshly spanked bottom and all. The worst part was that she deserved it, she realized that she deserved a proper punishment for not treating ponies fairly, and prioritized her friends without hearing other points of view. So she swallowed her pride and pressed her nose firmly against the crack between the two walls. 

She blushed, stayed still as she smelt the paint off the walls, trying to use it to keep her mind off her bottom which was flaming as if Spike tried to send her bottom as a letter. She felt very much like a little filly, she had seen ponies like Applejack do this to her student when they misbehave, but she never gave it much thought. It was boring; she couldn't move because she was trying to follow her orders of standing obediently.

Flim and Flam got together, they seemed to be looking in her direction and talking to themselves, she could hear one of them, probably flam, snickering, no doubt it was her appearance, having her red rump facing outwards towards the room. 

She did not know how long she was standing here for, but it had definitely been at least half an hour. She was trying to hold still, but after the long time spent in the corner, she was desperate to move around. Luckily her savior came.

Flim had patted her head."Alright, Ms. Sparkle, you're done now, I hope a spanked bottom and some time in the corner had its needed effect, and I hope you will think before judging too quickly."

He smiled at her, and Flam was there nodding, his brother was better and being more compassionate, his skill was the business and action side of things. 

Twilight turned from the corner instantly and started rubbing her sore flanks, and she lowered her head slightly at the final warning/scolding she was receiving. "Yes, sirs... I'm sorry once again," she said.

What happened next surprised her, both Flim and Flam came to her and gave her a comforting hug, and she, maybe even surprising herself, hugged them back. She felt better like her past mistakes had been forgiven. She had been given a second chance to be a better Princess of Friendship, a better pony.

"Now please excuse us for a few moments, we need to get our lesson book so we can plan for the days worth of lessons for the ponies coming to class. Would you... You wouldn't want to maybe join the curriculum... would you?" 

She thought about it, what kind of searcher of knowledge would she be if she didn't try to learn more. She needed to learn everything she could about friendship, "I- I think I would actually. I want to know more about friendship, and maybe, if Starswirl likes it, maybe I will as well."

They both nodded smiling,  “We will be right back Ms. Sparkle."

And they ran off to get their items. Twilight went to look around the room, and She saw two upside down paintings. "Well, that's an interesting way of seeing art.”  She continued looking at it, but soon realized the clock was set at the wrong time, "Oops, I better help them out." 
  
She used her magic to turn the clock and soon heard a loud noise, the walls around her moved up, she didn't know what was happening, it seemed to be a passageway of some sort. She slowly walked through, and she saw gold, piles of gold. There was a 3d model of some kind and a blackboard of plans. 

"No Way! They were making ponies pay for their lessons! This is... a scandal!"

She heard a gasp, and she turned around to see a shocked Flim and Flam. "Ms. S-Sparkle, F-funny you found our room, this is just junk.." Flam said

She looked at them, quite angrily. "You two... I was right all along! You two are jerks!"

They looked at each other, nervously, they could get into serious trouble with a princess being involved, she had more jurisdiction that the apple farmer did not.

"P-princess, we implore you to be merciful... We were doing this for the people!" Flam said.

She sighed, and looked at them, yes what they did was long, but it did help teach some friendship lessons... in the wrong way but, they did have a point in what they were showing her.

"I may be able to cut you two some slack, on one condition."

They gulped when they saw her smirk slightly. "A-and what would that be princess..."

She looked at them and smiled brightly." I think two naughty colts are in need of a good detention!"
