 Whistle propped her chin up on her hooves and stared dreamily at the front of the classroom. The teacher, Miss Glory, was introducing some new students to the class. There were several but her eyes locked on in little pale colored male unicorn. He was a dreamboat! Handsome milk white coat, amazing teal hair with golden locks and those gentle grey eyes..inwardly she was squeeing with delight! The teacher pointed out different empty desks, vacated by those who'd grown up and graduated. She waved her hoof towards the seat in front of Whistle, indicating the prince-like foal should sit there. What luck! She could stare wistfully into the back pf his mane and imagine a daughter with pink and gold hair and his eyes but her fur color and a son who.. SLAM! The sharp sound snapped her out of her daydream and she looked in horror at the pile of workbooks, papers, and texts that had been piled onto the poor guy's desk. The new students had a lot of work to make up and current classes to keep up with if they wanted to be able to ace the winter finals. Oof...Whistle felt bad for the late starters, that was a lot of work to cram into the last third of the semester.

Just Lance considered himself a very clever pony. He was good at magic, great at speaking, and had a decent head for learning. But this? This great plethora of information seemed a task even he was unprepared for. It was quite the daunting challenge. A great dragon for him to overcome! That... was just how he had to go about this. He would study his absolute hardest (as he did with all things in life), and surely he would come out victorious.
...Maybe.
Eyeing the great pile of workbooks warily, Just Lance swallowed nervously. That was... certainly a great deal to learn. And while a great upholder of justice did not often ask for help, it seemed the wisest thing for him to do.
"Beg your pardon," Just Lance asked, voice gentle and low to the red filly next to him. She seemed a bright maiden, her eyes focused on the front of the classroom the whole lesson. Surely, she had a good head upon her shoulders. And it was nice to have a fellow unicorn as a comrade in arms! A shield brother! Or sister, as the case may be.
"Wouldst you be so kind as to, perhaps, help me learn this information? Tis a bit much for me to take in all at once," he laughed nervously, turning his attention back to the books before him.
"If not, truly, I understand!"

Wouldst? Tis? Wow he's using fancy words this one. "Oh! Well.." The teacher hushed the pair, reminding them both they still needed to pay attention to TODAY'S lessons. Whistle blushed and waved her hoof. "Sorry Miss Glory!" she called. When the teacher turned back to the blackboard, she leaned forward and whispered in the colt's ear. "Just meet me after class in the playground." He'd asked her for her help, lucky!

Flushing in embarrassment, Just Lance murmured an apology and went back to focusing on the day's notes. It would do him no good to fall even further behind in studying, spending the day ignoring what he was supposed to do. Taking up his quill, Lance threw himself entirely into his notes, hoping that if he focused the rest of the lesson, the teacher wouldn't be TOO upset with him. Only once did he stop, pausing to turn and offer the red filly a smile of apology.
---
When the bell rang, Just Lance fumbled to get all of his books into his bag. It was a great many more than he'd begun the day with, and the unicorn was uncertain if he could levitate them all. Frowning to himself, he grasped the bag with his magic, and uneasily drudged his way out to the playground. The extraordinarily kind red filly had to be around here somewhere... he unconsciously gripped the bag tighter with his magic, eyes darting about.
All he had to do was wait. Hopefully, she would show up soon.

The little red filly bounced out of the school house as soon as she was done with her after school chores. The foal who she was doing the sweeping with had been more interested in broom fencing them cleaning. Normally Whistle loved her some good broom fencing but today she had other plans. "Sorry to keep you waiting!" she called out, already spotting Lance in the playground. She approached him with a big smile, hopefully hiding the small blush on her cheeks. "I brought all of my notes. You're siblings can use them too if they want." she offered, bringing out a large binder full of paper from her school bag.

Had Just Lance known of the aforementioned broom lancing, he would have been more than fine with the delay. It was, after all, his calling in this life to use a lance in the name of JUSTICE. But that was neither here nor there. He smiled brightly when Whistle approached, and offered her a hoof wave.
"You're an incredibly kind soul, I hope you know!" He beamed, and then raised his magic to the binder. It seemed terribly heavy, unfortunately. Just as he'd feared, it would likely be difficult to catch up. But at the very least, he had someone's notes. And her help! It warmed his heart, truly it did.
"I hope that I'm not keeping you from anything important. Please, do let me know if you've other obligations to keep."

A compliment! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! "NOT AT ALL!" Whistle said a little too loudly and excitedly. Pull it back little filly, she said to herself. "Ahem, I mean, nope, not tonight. I wouldn't have volunteered if I didn't have the time." Well ok that was a complete lie but hey, he didn't need to know that at that moment, she was just happy to be there. "Why don't we go to Sweet Breads? She has hot chocolate and some really yummy snacks and it's always warm." She waved her hoof at the already setting autumn sun. "I'll get you started and then you can help your brother and sisters after! Follow me!"

Astraea Pandora I saw this last night then immediately rolled over and fell asleep, oops. Sorry!
"I've not yet tried the hot chocolate," he admitted, trailing after Whistle. "I tend not to eat a lot of chocolate- my coat and all. Is it good?"

"It's the best, and we get student discounts too!" she said cheerfully, leading the way. A half hour later found the foals tucked into a booth at Sweet Bread's with mugs of hot chocolate. "No no, start at the last number and carry forward. So the 3 becomes a 2 and the 4 becomes a 5..er..are you understanding this? Math isn't my best subject.." for the first time Whistle faltered a little, afraid she was doing more harm than good.

"I think I am!" Just Lance nodded, smiling amiably at Whistle. Her tone was so worried, but honestly, she was explaining it better than the teacher had! It wasn't anything he'd ever admit out loud, however. Scribbling down the numbers to carry, he glanced at his own notes, checked the answer, and nodded once more.
"So then the answer is... three hundred and fifty two? I believe?" He asked, looking over to her to confirm. Not wanting to seem ungrateful, Lance continued, "And I truly cannot thank you enough! Giving up your time like this... it's not a favor I'll ever forget!"

Whistle broke out her workbook to double check. "Yes! 352! You got it!" She was glowing under the compliments. "Thank you but it's really no problem. I can't imagine how it must be to just arrive at school and have so much to catch up before the final! But you're a quick study, I'm sure you're siblings are just as smart. I think you'll be a great tutor for them!" Drinking the last of her hot chocolate, she glanced out the window. "It's almost dark already! We should go home.." she sounded a bit sad, she was enjoying hanging out with Lance. Whistle gathered her things up, leaving the huge book of notes on the table. "Just take that with you for everyone and when you're done just give it back at school." Hopping down from the booth, she slung her bag around her shoulders and smiled at the colt. "Sooo I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?" She gave him a tiny curtsy that wobbled from her heavy school bag. The tip of her horn lit up with a tiny pink glow and she waved as she pushed the door open. "Bye Lance! Welcome to school!" And she was gone, a soft pink light in the darkness rushing off home.
