memories of the first grade came flooding back to the unicorn.
"Who can spell the word cat?" the teacher asked the class. "Gemstone?"
"Um..." six-year-old Gemstone uttered. "K-A-T?"
The unicorn stallion raised an eyebrow. "Is this a joke, Miss Gemstone, or are you really that stupid?"
"It's not a joke!"
"Then you must be stupid!" one of the fillies exclaimed.
The Canterlot fillies and colts roared with laughter and pointed their hooves at her.
"Gemstone's a dumb-dumb!" they chanted. "Gemstone's a dumb-dumb!"
"Gemstone? Gemstone!"
Cheerilee's voice snapped her out of her trance.
"Are you alright?"
Gemstone could no longer hold back her tears. She bawled as she raced out of the classroom.

"Wait. If she's not with you and she's not with me..." Rarity stiffened. "Oh no. What if Gemstone's run away?! What if she's out alone on the streets?! What if she wandered into the Everfree Forest?! What if...?"
The unicorn started hyperventilating. Cheerilee put an assuring hoof on her back.
"Calm down!" she exclaimed. "We'll find her. I'm sure she just went to compose herself somewhere."
"Call the police!" Rarity shouted. "Call the Royal Guard! Call the Princesses! Call my husband! We have to find my daughter!"
