Ditzy applied herself to everything she did for the Princess. She excelled at every subject she studied. She was especially careful, only having created a debt of 75,000 bits, which was exceptionally low for her. She looked forward to the day that the princess would finally let her take her spot next to the throne.
Then one day, a few weeks after the Summer Sun Celebration, the princess came back to the palace with a little purple filly. She was in awe at the size of the building, mouth agape. Ditzy remembered how she had acted the same way. The princess led the filly over to Ditzy and stopped.
"Twilight Sparkle, I want you to meet my aide-in-training. She has almost finished her studies, and then she shall be by my side. Ditzy Doo, this is Twilight Sparkle, my newest magic student."
Twilight Sparkle bowed to Ditzy, who returned the gesture. They smiled at each other before turning to the princess.
The princess smiled. "Well, why wait? Let's begin the lessons right now!" She led the ponies into her chambers and levitated a chalkboard to the center of the room and began teaching the two ponies the skills they would need later in life.
Ditzy and Twilight studied hard for months. Ditzy frequently had to stop what she was doing to help Twilight understand a concept, but she didn't mind. That was to be her job soon, helping a pony deal with problems. In fact, she almost enjoyed it, helping Twilight comprehend a difficult concept. It made her feel proud when Twilight managed to make her trick work, almost like the pride a teacher feels for her student. Even when a frog would hit her in the face, or she had to sweep up broken glass, she never lost her smile. She knew she was already helping the princess, and soon it would be official.
Then, four months after the Summer Sun Celebration, the princess pulled her aside after lessons.
"Ditzy, it is time. You've learned everything you must to become my aide. Are you ready?"
Ditzy nodded energetically. "Yes, Your Majesty! I'm ready!"
The princess led her to her throne and sat down. Ditzy stood at her side. She had made it. Her dream had come true. Everything was going to be good from now on.
