Twilight Sparkle sits on a too-small chair at her old desk, in her old room, reading a book.

"What are you reading?" Twilight Velvet asks her daughter. Seeing her sitting in her room brings a smile to the mature mare's face as fond memories of late nights spent helping her study come back to her. Her daughter's answer surprises her, twisting her smile into a perplexed expression. "Uh, sure, sweetheart. I can leave if you want."

"What? No, you can stay. I like having you around," Twilight Sparkle says.

"Okay, but... I thought you told me, to go away, is all."

"No, that's just what the book is called. It's the one that taught me directions when I was a filly. It's about a mare who is indecisive about where to go, and her daughter just keeps telling her to pick any direction," the alicorn tells her mother. "You don't remember it?"

"Can't say that I do. Can I see the cover?"

"Sure," Twilight Sparkle says, pausing for a moment as she realizes something. "Huh... so this is what it's like being on this side."

"Side? Of what, dear?" Twilight Velvet asks.

"Oh, nothing. Here's the cover."

"Go A Way, Mom."
