Wait. Hold on. "Cousins"? What are those?
Your aunts and uncles' children. You know, part of your family.
At least you get to be with your family.
No... because I don't have a family.

Don't worry. You won't have to tell our teachers. I will.
You don't have to. We already know.
We kinda guessed it was you.
Hey, this reminds me of another story! "The Time I Almost Spilled Grape Juice on the White Couch"!
Does it have a depressing ending?
I'm not sure pony stories work that way.
Gallus want Yona braid feathers?
Uhhh... pass.
[singing proudly] Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again!
It must be gratifying to have your idol writing to you about the friendship lessons he's learning.
I'm not sure I'll ever get used to it. Of course, if he really wants to learn about friendship, he could just come to our school.
It isn't just another friendship school. It's a university!
It says they teach the same lessons of competing schools in half the time. That's twice the learning!
And it's in Las Pegasus? If Professor Rarity lets us skip her sewing class – road trip!
[echoing] Welcome, friends! You are about to embark on a journey of amazing magnitude! One that will change your lives forever!
[echoing] Prepare yourselves to embrace a new path and become students of...
Flim and Flam: Friendship U!
How can any pony learn friendship in half the time?
Our coursework is so accelerated, to take longer would be a crime!
The Equestria Educational Association has taken an interest in institutions that teach friendship in a pony-first environment. Surely you didn't think your school has a monopoly on the concept?
Star Swirl? What are you doing here?
Why, studying friendship at Flim and Flam's wonderful school!
Oh, please. I think I know a disguise when I see one. Take off that ridiculous beard... Flam!
I spent several thousand years thinking the worst of a "bad" pony. You taught me to look for the "best" in them. Whatever Flim and Flam's past may be, starting this school demonstrates they're desire to change for the better.
I understand feeling threatened by competition, but my word, Princess. I wonder if the ill manners of the creatures at your school aren't contagious. I think I will take my leave before I become infected.
The key to going undercover is rehearsing your backstory. [clears threat, in affected voice] I'm "Plainity". and I love bland old normal stuff. No frills for me. [normal voice] Okay! Your turn.
[groans] My name's Eyepatch. I have an eye patch.
Perfect!
Oh, honestly, Princess Twilight, envy does not look good on you.
I'm not envious! I know these two are up to something. I'm just trying to find out what.
The only pony I see who is up to something is the pony in this picture, and it is not the princess I know.
Twilight, maybe I should take over the investigation. Think of your reputation!
My reputation isn't worth much if I won't risk it for what I think is right.
You can destroy my reputation if you want, but using your students' bits to expand your resort is wrong, even if the lessons you teach are good ones.
Of course they're good. We copied them from your book.
Plainity? My star pupil?
[affected voice] Not Plainity, but... [normal voice] Rarity!
