Since I posted it in the original picture, I hope you don't mind I post this here as well:

"Fillies and colts," Cheerilee began with her usual sing-song voice, "I would like to introduce you all to our new exchange student from the Changeling lands. Let's all give a warm welcome to little Buzzer!"



"HI BUZZER!"



Against the choir of greetings, all the shy little Changeling colt could do was squeak a little 'Hello', nodding gingerly. He noticed, though, through his budding empathetic senses, that not all the fillies and colts were as enthusiastic as the rest - if anything, they seemed to be simmering.



"Now, I understand that many of you may feel a little bit... uncomfortable, around Buzzer," Cheerilee suddenly sounding a lot more serious. "Not since what happened in Canterlot during the Wedding and here in Ponyville during the Secretariat Comet. All of us have some personal experience with the Changelings that are... unpleasant, to say the least." She looked in particular at the seats where the CMC, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon sat; Applebloom gulped, both Diamond Tiara and Scootaloo were glaring, but both Sweetie Belle and Silver Spoon were strangely curious.



"But do remember that, although some of the Changelings like Queen Chrysalis and her minions may be evil or hostile, that does not mean all Changelings are bad by default, and I will not tolerate any form of hostility to him from this class." Cheerilee continued firmly "For the rest of this term, Buzzer will study as a student, where he will learn much about the pony way of life as we will learn about his. I want you all to be able to give him the best impression we can for him to take back home when his time here is done. Is that clear?"



"Yes, Miss Cheerilee..." the class answered, though some are reluctant. Some didn't hide their disgust at all.



Cheerilee took note of this mentally; this could be trouble, and the last thing she wants is for her and this class of students to be responsible for messing up the first foreign exchange program between ponies and changelings.



"Good. Now Buzzer, you can take that empty seat on the front, near the drawers. Everypony, I want you to turn to page 12 of your history textbook; today we'll be starting on Early Medieval Equestria... "
