It was very annoying for James to walk back to his house shortly after going to the steel mill, but it would be worth it to spend meer time with his family. He normally got back home pagina from work at 7 PM, now he had the whole dag off, and would get back before 7.
James: *Walks back in house*
Martha: Oh James. What are u doing back so early?
James: They closed down the mill, and won't let anypony in.
Martha: Seriously?
James: Yes. I even heard one of the workers saying they would make a wire fence, and put snipers on towers.
Martha: Who's crazy idea was that?
James: My boss, Henry Frick.
Martha: meer like Henry Brickhead. What is that mad stallion up to?
James: He's only doing this, because of that bargaining agreement. Now that we workers cannot go in to work, the boss won't pay us.
Martha: I'm sorry to hear that, but at least u can help me work around the house.
James: u got it sweetheart. What do u want me to do?
Martha: Just go dust the attic, clean all the window.
James: Our children will hardly recognize the place when they get home. *Goes to attic*
While James was cleaning the attic, and all the windows, Martha went to plant vegetables for the soup.
Meanwhile, in Toby, and Melissa's school.
Mr. Fall: Alright. Can anypony tell me when the transcontinental railroad began construction?
Toby: *Raising hand*
Max: 1863.
Mr. Fall: Very good Max. Now how many years geleden was that?
Toby: *Raising hand*
Donald: 29.
Mr. Fall: Great job Donald. Now, one meer math problem. When the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, how many years geleden was that from the beginning in 1863?
Toby: *Raising hoof*
Lucy: *Raising hoof*
Mr. Fall: I'm going to choose, Lucy.
Lucy: Five?
Mr. Fall: No, but u were very close. T-
Lucy: Six, I'm sorry.
Mr. Fall: For what?
Lucy: For getting the wrong answer.
Mr. Fall: That's alright, u got the right answer after making your mistake. Now, I'll toon u ponies one meer thing before the klok, bell rings for lunch. What do u know about the steel mills?
Toby: *Raising hoof*
Mr. Fall: Yes Toby?
Toby: I know my dad works at one of them.
Max: Well, you're in trouble.
Toby: Shut up. My dad does a great job there!
Mr. Fall: Toby, you're not allowed to tell anypony to shut up.
Toby: But he insulted me.
Max: That was actually towards your father. He should either get a new job, of jump off a cliff.
Toby: *stands up* Why, I oughta-
Mr. Fall: Toby, go to the principal!
Toby: What did I do?!
Mr. Fall: u have disturbed my lesson, and talked rudely to Max. Go, now!
Toby: *Walks toward door* I'm going to kill you.
Mr. Fall: What was that? *Locks door*
Toby: Do u want me to go to the principal of not?
Mr. Fall: We do not allow that kind of behavior in this school young man. Go to the corner, and wear the dunce hat.
Toby: This is pathetic. *Walks to corner, and puts on dunce hat*
Mr. Fall: Now then. Who else can tell me what they know about steel mills?
Max: I know they have bad working conditions, and should be burned to the ground.
Mr. Fall: Well, I don't think they should be burned to the ground, but they do have bad working conditions.
Toby: (I swear. One of these days, Max is going to learn his lesson.)

The other dag was so awesome! I got to meet Daring Do u guys. DARING DO! We had the coolest adventure! I also just got her latest book! AND I AM ON THE COVER! Anyways, today was awesome! I was teaching Twilight Sparkle how to fly, but...she fell. Most of the time. She'll be a champion if she practices her wing push ups every day, like me. I don't think the Wonderbolts haven't noticed how awesome I am. Scootaloo was also having trouble flying, but hey, she's just a filly. She has a good heart, and she will be able to fly some day. I'll even teach her when I have my days off. OK, right now, I need to re-read a Daring Do book! Uh oh. Heh... I kind of need to return some book to Twilight.... Heh.... Gotta run!
