Twilight has a secret. Specifically, she's been studying something in secret for the past couple of months, and won't tell anypony what it is that she's doing.
Unfortunately for her, Starlight is curious.

very cute
Love how Pinkie was the one who busted Starlight and Trixie Also how Twilight completely ignored the fact Pinkie heard her though dozens of sound canceling spells she set up, she's ajusted to k doing Pinkie well enough that she knows when Pinkie will ignore logic!
Brilliant.
Delightful tale. Twilight summoning Pinkie was indeed a highlight. My only issue is that the narration gets a little opinionated. That's not an issue when you go third-person limited, but it's not clear who's coloring the commentary when both Starlight and Trixie get called twits. Aside from that, brilliant little slice of alicorn life. Thank you for it and best of luck in the judging.

I'll bear that in mind for future stories, thank you!
Soooooo....She doesn’t want to follow Luna’s advice, even though it worked?

She doesn't want to try it. But that doesn't stop her from eventually doing it, and finally getting results!

Yes but in the end she recants following any more advice from her.

It worked, but she also humiliated herself in front of Starlight and Trixie, not a fun price to pay
9935936
Fair, though I would say that’s more on her for not thinking of putting an alarm on the door.
9935948
True, but that wouldn't be as funny
9935960
Depends on the alarm.
Was totally expecting Pinkie to say,
HEY! IS THIS THE SHOUTING CLOSET?! BECAUSE I'VE GOT A FREE DAY, AND I'M TOTALLY UP FOR SOME SHOUTING!
Nice!
Cute little tale all around
Lemme show you how it’s done, Twi. AHEM

I thought you had to say her name three times, though.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
TIS A GREAT AND POWERFUL STORY! I liked it 😀
Twilight learning and doing new abilities is always a delight for me, but I especially loved Twilight doing impressions of her friends.
"I LOVE TO SHOUT NAUGHTILY ABOUT MY FRIENDS!
.... That came out wrong.

I CAN USE THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE TOO YOU KNOW, XD
and if a nightfury uses it your screwed...
Heh, should've figured that it'd be Pinkie who'd blow their cover. I was half expecting Trixie to protest "Hey! Trixie puts more emphasis on 'Great'!".
