That's what this is for.

Maybe in the past. [blows] Now it belongs in a museum. Safe. Preserved. Untouched.

I know I'm new to your "modern" world, but there's one thing I learned when I saved my village from a rushing river of hot lava. There's nothing you can't do with hard work. And a shovel!
Yona like new teacher. He big like yak!
And he smashes things like a yak, smells like a yak...
Yes! He perfect!
Our school is about finding your own special way to teach.
And we can already tell you're a... smash with the class. [chuckles]
But maybe you could do a little less smashing in the classroom?
Professor Rockhoof best teacher ever! [sighs] Day cannot get better.
[crash!]
Let's get you outside, wee ones!
Day just got better!
Professor Fossil made it clear I'm not welcome back in my old village. Seems I don't belong here either.
[yelling] Do you know where I can find Cranky Doodle Donkey?! I need to deliver his medicine! He has a rash in a very embarrassing place!
I can't do my old job like Flash. Or adapt like Mistmane. Or succeed at something new like Somnambula. Or go home, like you.

Give it time. Even Star Swirl's still learning about friendship.
I know how hard it is to adapt to a new home. After our many years below the waves, land customs seemed strange.
Like you didn't fit in, no matter how hard you tried?
As though the world had moved on without us. Never fear, Rockhoof. We shall be as brothers in this bright future above the waves.
I heard there's a statue spell that sends creatures into stone sleep. I want you to cast it. On me.
Why would you want to be turned into stone?
Because I'm a relic of a bygone age. I belong in a museum. Safe. Preserved. Untouched. I don't belong in this time.
Professor Rockhoof best pony!
[reading] "When Yona come to pony school, Yona not fit in. Pony ways strange. But Yona find friends! Yona meet Professor Rockhoof! Pony brave and strong as yak! Not afraid! Hero! When Yona grow up, Yona want to be just like Professor Rockhoof!"
As the Princess of Friendship, I'd like to appoint you as Equestria's official keeper of tales!
Can you do that?
Eh. You are a living record of our history. Your stories can inspire and teach generations to come. If you're a statue, that's all lost.
Will I ever really belong in your world?
Rockhoof Yona's friend. So Rockhoof belongs!
Was that before or after Discord made chocolate rain?
[whispers] After.
That's a plumbing diagram on how to fix a sink.
[giggles]
What does that have to do with Equestrian history?
Nothing. I just can't believe that's how sinks work!
Just consider where you all came from. If Sandbar hadn't sacrificed so much of his time to get you up to speed, who knows how behind you'd be?
That's... not what—
[to Ocellus] I mean, growing up as a love-starved changeling? [to Silverstream] Or hiding underwater from an evil king all those years? Trusting anycreature must be so hard for you. [to Gallus] And griffons never want to be around anycreature, even other griffons. [to Smolder] And dragons are so fierce compared to us. There must be days you can't wait to get away from all us cute ponies. [to Yona, imitating Yona] "Everypony know yaks think yaks are best!" Making friends with any other creature must seem like a step down. It's just so impressive how you keep trying to understand friendship, even though it isn't in your nature.
We were studying friendship's effect on history, but then...
Since friendship just isn't in our nature, what's the point?
': [stilted] You do not believe friendship is in your nature? That is NOT acceptable!
Mount Aris? Headmare Twilight sent me home? Wait. Am I suspended?
[terrified] He's back, and I'm never gonna see another sunset or fly through a cloud bank or study plumbing! He's gonna take away everything I love! I'm gonna be trapped down here forever!
