The sun was rising over the beautiful city of Canterlot. The golden palace shone over the small homes that made up the city, taking it's time to gleam over the crystallized castle inhabiting Ponyville. Shooting Star awoke to the glorious morning. A sapphire blue aura surrounded her horn as she got up. Walking over to her mirror, she levitated a hair brush, her saddlebag and some books, and a cup of coffee. As being the daughter of Princess Twilight Sparkle, she was great at multitasking. "Good morning, Star." Her mom said, trotting into the room. 
"Morning mom." Shooting Star replied, sipping her coffee. 
"I have a meeting with Celestia today." Star walked off to a bookcase, searching it's contents. 
"You remind me of myself when I was your age." Twilight smiled. 
"What's this meeting about?" Her mom asked. 
"Uh, I don't really know. She just told me to meet up with her at the castle." Star replied, picking up an old book and throwing it out. Twilight instantly recognized the book thrown on the floor. She levitated it with her magic. 
"Shooting Star, you need to take this book. It's very important to me, and I think you'd enjoy it." Star examined the book with a sparkle in her eye. 
"The spark?" Twilight muttered to herself.
"Celestia? You wanted to see me?" Star anxiously walked into the castle doors. 
"Hello, my dear student." The princess answered. Shooting Star slowly walked by. 
"What's going on? What happened?" Star asked. 
"Dear Student, I'm afraid your mother has been keeping a secret from you. A big one." Celestia replied. She walked towards a stained glass window of the Mane Six freeing Nightmare Moon with the Elements of Harmony. Celestia's face looked sad. 
"When your mom was but a unicorn with next to no knowledge of friendship, she was just like you. Mature, smart, and not very humorous. But when she felt that spark, her cutie mark was fulfilled. She represented the big star in the center, and her friends were the five sparkles surrounding it. Her name was fulfilled, as well." Princess Celestia explained. Shooting Star carefully examined the window. 
"What do you mean by that?" Star asked, bringing out her note paper and pencil.
"Well, 'Twilight' is the purple sky at sunset. Her name means 'The balance between night and day'. And once me and my sister were spread apart, she reunited us after 1000 years of sorrow. Therefore, fulfilling her name." Celestia smiled. 
"Well, what's the secret?" Shooting Star tried to change the subject, nudging the princess. Celestia sighed.
"MOM?!" Shooting Star burst into the castle. 
"Yes, dear?" Twilight asked, as she flipped through her books. 
"How come you never told me I had a sister?" Twilight gasped and her horn deactivated it's magic, dropping all the books to the floor. 
"She...told you?" Twilight picked up all the books and neatly put them away. She galloped to her daughter and hugged her tightly with tears in her eyes. 
"I'm so sorry, dear. I should've told you sooner." Shooting Star was not moved one bit, being her stubborn self. 
"Yeah, well, not gonna cut it." Star replied. 
"W-what?" Twilight gasped, pulling away.
"You shouldn't have kept it from me in the first place." Shooting Star stated.
"Here, if she hangs out with you, will you forgive me?" Twilight offered. Shooting Star thought for a bit. 
"I suppose." She finally answered. Twilight clapped her hooves together with excitement. 
"Starburst! Come here!"
An orange pegasus trotted out of a small room. She had dark violet hair with pink and blue streaks, pulled up into a ponytail. "Hey, Shooting Star." She said. Star was so amazed. Finally, after years, she had a sister. 
"I-I don't know what to say..." Shooting Star blushed. 
"Well, as of seeing you for the first time, wanna take a ride?" Starburst asked, holding out her wing. 
"Absolutely."



"Woo-hoo!" Shooting Star yelled with excitement. 
"Having fun?" Starburst said. 
"YES! This is the most fun I've ever had in my life!" Starburst flew down towards Canterlot castle. 
"Thanks so much, Starburst." Shooting Star said as they landed. Starburst folded her massive wings to her sides.
"Let's go in." Starburst gestured to the front doors. They trotted inside. The sun was setting, and they could see Luna and Celestia doing their jobs on a balcony. Celestia finished and instantly noticed them. She smiled and teleported to them. 
"Hello, student. And you are her sister, I presume?" The Princess asked.
"Yes indeed." Shooting Star answered. Shooting Star noticed something was off. After all, she had great attention to small detail. In the corner of her eye, she saw Luna was gone, and in her place, was a puff of black smoke.
