It was early in the morning, around 05:00 when two adult Unicorns found themselves rudely awoken by somepony jumping on their bed.  The two Unicorns being one Twilight Velvet and one Night Light, both of whom didn't get to go to bed the previous night until well after midnight.  So the two's eyes shot open in abject horror, also showing them to be bloodshot and highlighting the bags both of them suffered from.  As they both moved to sit up and confront the filly they just knew was the culprit for their early morning wake up call, said filly began to chatter excitedly.

"Come on it's the first day of Magic Kindergarten! Hurry up! I can't wait," Twilight whines as her bouncing intensifies. "Come on wake up, I don't want to be late for my first day!" Twilight pauses her bouncing midair to cock her head a little before asking, "Why aren't you guys excited it's our first day of School!?" This took about two seconds before gravity resumed working on the hyper filly.

Both of her parents groaned at this, they had been forced to do extra work for their jobs recently so they have been going through a few all-nighters lately and today was suppose to be their first day off in a while.  So realizing that Twilight wouldn't go away without prompting Velvet sits up to dissuade the filly from interrupting their precious sleep.

"Twilight, please it's ...." Velvet looks to her husband for the time.

"....5:00" Night Light answers with a sigh.

"Twilight....please go back to bed you don't have to get up for another hour and a half and even then School doesn't start for you until 9:00." Velvet resumes in a tone of pleading. "Also you don't see your sister acting like this, not to mention that Shiny starts cadet school today as well and you know how excited he is about that.  Yet he isn't barging in here to wake us up so early." As Velvet finishes in a tone of exasperation only a parent can achieve, Twilight stops bouncing and raises a hoof to her chin in thought before nodding and trudging to the edge of the bed, hopping down and continues through the door.  Both parents sigh in relief at that before settling back into bed to try and get another hour of sleep.





Twilight after leaving her parent's room deep in thought returns to her and her sister's room.  Dawn having been awoken with Twilight (Dawn is a light sleeper) is laying on their shared bed with a book on Gryphonhelm's military.  Twilight noticing the book her sister somehow got, again Twilight is struck with an idea so she calls out to her little Sis.

"Hey, little Sister?" Dawn looks up to Twi and cocks her head in interest. "I don't know what to do, Mommy and Daddy both just want to sleep but I'm just so excited about our first day of school.  What do you think I should do?" Twi complains dramatically, even going as far as throwing her forehooves across Dawn's withers.

Dawn thinks about this for a moment,  'she had noticed that their parents had had a lot of extra work lately so they are pretty tired and today is a day they get off they probably want to sleep in.  But if I don't come up with something to distract big Sis then I'm not going to be able to keep reading....what to do? What to do? .......' Dawn smirks as a prank forms in her mind. '...Oh yes, that will do nicely, hehehe' Dawn looks to Twi with a mischievous smirk on her muzzle.

"Hey, Big Sis...I know just what to do." The younger filly motions her older sister closer with her hoof before she starts to whisper her idea.  Soon Twilight is sporting a similar grin as Dawn nodding energetically in agreement with the plan.





So around ten minutes after Twilight left them alone, both parents were finally about to slip off into sleep when the bouncing on their bed returned in force.  Bolting up with looks of pure terror Night Light and Twilight Velvet can only stare at what was before them.  All the while all three of their children were bouncing away on their bed.

"Wake up Mommy and Daddy!" Shouts Twilight

"Yeah wake up it's my first day as a Cadet, this is no time to be asleep!"  Shinning Armour adds in.

"Yeah! yeah! Yeah!" Dawn just agrees while nodding her head vigorously. 

Both parents are shocked to silence the only response being that their right ears twitched in tandem with their lower left eyelid.  As they stared in wide-eyed horror at the three adorable siblings.
