Studious, bookworm, and researcher.

These are the words that do not describe Twilight's daughter, Starburst.

The two rarely see eye to eye, and tensions between them are high. But when Twilight takes in one of her daughter's friends, Anthea, as her own student, it leaves the pegasus feeling like her own mom has abandoned her. With tensions already running high, will this sudden change in Star's life cause her to go over the edge and destroy the relationship she has with her mom?

Set in the kilala97 universe, whose art I recommend you check out, these next generation ponies are based off the pairings she ships, and who their kids are. A special thanks to TheMyth for some assistance, Kilala97 herself for taking a look at it, and my friends on Skype for giving their suggestions as well.

EDIT: Featured on 4/5/2014! Wow! Didn't think it'd get there, but thanks!

Anthea was never truly alone. She always had her lights, her colors and her wonderful, wonderful blurs. As long as she had her blurs, she could forget about the darkness. As long as there was light, she could sleep soundly and without fear. As long as she could open her eyes and banish the darkness, she was fine. She had her light, she had her blurs.

Then, one morning, she didn't.

When Starburst heads on over to Sweet Apple Acres to help Golden Delicious with the chores for the day, as expected, she overworks herself like she normally does and she ends up falling asleep on the job.

kilala97 is seriously my favorite artist in this fandom, it was about time I wrote something for her magnificent characters!

WARNING: THIS STORY IS DANGEROUSLY SUGARCOATED. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Anthea is blind. Turquoise Blitz is half-dragon, half-pony. Naturally, the two are drawn to each other, though the fact that their mothers are also best friends may have played a helping hoof as well. With most of their lives spent together, either with the rest of their group of friends or on their own, it makes sense that they would fall in love. With Turquoise's quiet personality and Anthea's unfortunate condition, it makes even more sense that nothing would happen for a long time, despite practically everypony in town believing them to already be a couple.

Then, one long time later, the two decided to stay out late and go stargazing.
