The Fall of Twilight Sparkle

The test

Twilight Sparkle was a unicorn filly who was going to take a test to enter Princess Luna’s school. She had studied last night for this great night of the test.

 “Mrs. Sparkle, your test is to make these seeds grow with your magic", said a unicorn with glasses and a clipboard.

 “This is going to be easy”, said Twilight Sparkle with a smile. After all, she had studied hard enough to pass this test.

She put the seeds in the pot in front of her and used her magic to make the plant grow.


Outside the school, Luna saw a giant plant in the window of one of the rooms.

 “I see that somepony passed the test”, said Luna with a smile before entering the school.


Twilight Sparkle had a smile as the unicorns in the room were frozen by surprise.

 “I see you’re the pony that passed the test", said a voice at the door.

Twilight Sparkle and the other unicorns looked in the direction the voice came before they bowed.

 “Princess Luna!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle cheerfully.

 “Are you the pony that made this plant grow?” asked Luna with a smile.

 “Yes, Princess", replied Twilight Sparkle.

Luna looked at the flank of Twilight Sparkle and saw she had a Cutie Mark.

 “Twilight Sparkle, have you ever received your Cutie Mark?” asked Luna.

 “No, Princess," replied Twilight Sparkle. “Why?”

 “Because you just got one”, Luna said as she pointed to the flank of Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight Sparkle looked at her flank and saw that her Cutie Mark was a six-pointed star around five stars. “I got my Cutie Mark!!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle cheerfully.

 “Twilight Sparkle, I see you’ve got a great bridgehead,” said Luna. “Would you like to be my student?”

 “Yes!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle cheerfully before starting to jump around Luna and continue to shout “Yes.” In response, Luna just smiled.
