//------------------------------// // Anniversary Turbulance // Story: Light and Darkness – The Shadow of Midnight // by Rakoon1 //------------------------------// A few weeks had passed ever since the new school year had started. The twins and her friends were still struggling with their new routines and classes, as well dealing with their new colleagues and classmates, but they were adapting. But a great event was about to happen that was letting the twins expecting: their birthday was coming that weekend. And the best part was that a party was being planned to happen at the Light Castle. The preparations would be made at the day with the party being held at night. After the last class of the day for everypony, the twins got their saddlebags ready and went to their carriage, where Star and Timber was already waiting, and they got in. Silver Wind also get in, as she would spend the night before their birthday with them. “Oh, it’s so good that your parents let you stay with us for tomorrow” Sunny said to Silver Wind. “Well, it’s a very important day” she replied. “When I told my parents that I wanted to be with my best friends at their day without being only at the party, they let me spend the night with you. After all, it’s not the first time we have a sleep-over togehter.” “Just make sure you behave yourselves” Star said, while reading a book and scratching Timber’s head that was laid on his lap. “Mainly with Heartbeat. The last time you did some of your mischiefs, she got sugar high and we had to deal with her swift nature.” “Don’t worry about that” Midnight said. “We learned our lesson last time.” And the three fillies dropped a laugh. The next morning dawned and Silver Wind was moving through the halls of the Light Castle until reaching Midnight’s room. She knocked, while calling: “Midnight, time to wake up!” The door opened and Midnight appeared, having just arranged her mane. “Silver Wind…” “Happy birthday!” Silver Wind exclaimed, while hugging her friend. “Oh, thank you, Silver” Midnight thanked. “And that's not all” Silver Wind told. “I have a big birthday surprise for you.” “A surprise? Well, I’m curious about that.” “You’re going to love it. But first we need to get Sunny. My surprise is for both of you.” Hearing that, Midnight got a little saddened and said: “Of course it is.” They went to Sunny’s room and Silver Wild knocked. “Sunny? Are you there?” They opened and entered, only to find Sunny’s room empty. “Ah, where is she?” Silver Wind asked. “Who knows” Midnight replied. “My sister always does what she wants. I guess she will have to see the surprise later.” “Okay, follow me.” Silver Wind started taking Midnight to the dining room, while saying: “Okay, so I woke up early and decided to make a surprise breakfast for you and Sunny.” “Oh, I love breakfast!” Midnight exclaimed. “Please tell me you did…” “You bet I did” Silver Wind said. “I told the cookers to make your favorite breakfast: blueberry pancakes with cinnamon whipped cream!” She opened the door, but then they found Sunny sitting at the table ending eating something that seemed to be pancakes. “Sunny?” Midnight asked, thinking if she had just done what she had just done. “Delicious pancakes, Silver Wind!” Sunny exclaimed, with a smile. “Thanks.” Turning to Silver Wind, Midnight asked: “Where are my blueberry pancakes.” But her friend just made an awkward look and Sunny, realizing what happened, asked: “Oh, were these for both us?” “Sunny!” Midnight exclaimed in a reproving way. “Sorry, I didn’t know” Sunlight told. “You know these are also my favorite pancakes.” “Happy birthday, princesses” the maid said, while transporting a tray with her magic where she put Sunny’s empty plate. “It would have been if Sunny hadn’t eaten all my pancakes” Midnight replied, while sitting on her chair. “Oh, don’t worry, my princess” the maid said. “There’s more in the kitchen. I’ll get them for you.” “See, there’s still more pancakes” Sunny replied, while the maid moved away. “Hey, I know the perfect way to cheer you up.” She got up and approached Midnight, starting then to sing to her a special song about them being twins and be always together. “Please, stop” Midnight asked, not really in the mood. But Sunny ignored her and continued to sing the song, pulling Midnight up of her chair and dancing with her. “That was great!” Silver Wind exclaimed, after the song ended. “It’s our twin song” Sunny said. “We made it up when we were little.” “And Sunny still sings it every year” Midnight added, in a not very excited way. “Of course, it’s like our personal tradition” Sunny said. “And you know how I love traditions.” “Well, since we are waiting for the pancakes, you can read the card I made you” Silver Wind said, while handing with her magic the card to Midnight. Midnight sighed and said, while taking the card: “For me?” “For both of you” Silver Wind said, while Midnight started to read the card. “Oh, let me see!” Sunny said, taking the card from Midnight to read. “You’ll have to wait your turn, Sunny” Midnight replied, taking the card back. “But it’s for both of us” Sunny protested, while trying to read the card as well. “But I had it first!” Sensing a twin fight about to start, Silver Wind interrupted them by saying: “Or way don’t you read it together?” At that moment, the doors opened and Twilight, Blue and Star got in, with the General of Balance asking in a singing way: “Where are the birthday twins?!” “Right here!” Silver Wind said, while signaling her friends. “Happy birthday, you two” Twilight said, while hugging her daughters. Star sniffed the aroma that was in the air and said: “Hum, I can smell the breakfast. It sounds delicious!” “It sure was” Sunny said, causing Midnight to give her a grumpy look. “Well, I have a few birthday proclamations” Blue said. “You’ll be glad to know Mirror Coat, Melody and Purple Smoke will perform at the party this afternoon.” “Great!” the three fillies said. “Second, you’re gonna get your presents… right now” Twilight said. “Is it a gift for one or we’ll have to share?” Midnight asked, who didn’t want share anything more of her birthday with Sunny. “You’ll just have to wait and see” Blue said, turning then to his son. “Star, do you mind…” “Watch over Heartbeat and make sure she doesn’t eat too much sugar before the party?” Star asked. “You can count on me, dad. But I think she’s going to be too busy messing with the others while they prepare everything.” “Good, then see you later at the party” Twilight said, waving, while she and Blue headed towards the exit. “I’ll go too” Star said. “I need to take Timber for a walk.” “Oh, can I do it, Star, please?” Sunny asked. “Are you sure?” Star asked. “You know Timber can be a hoofful.” “Don’t worry about that” Sunny said. “I can handle him.” “Okay… it only gives me more time to better prepare you my surprise” Star agreed. “A surprise?” Sunny and Midnight asked at the same time. “You’ll have to wait until the party” Star said, while advancing to the exit. Sunny then proceeded to follow him to get Timber for the walk. Seconds later, the maid returned with two plates full of pancakes. “Here you have, princess” she said, while placing the plates on the table. “More blueberry pancakes.” Midnight went to sit down, while the maid said: “After breakfast, you and your sister will pick up the party games and the cake.” “If just I could do it myself” Midnight grunted. “But then it would be fair for your sister” the maid said, while serving the cinnamon whipped cream. “It’s her birthday too, after all. Enjoy your breakfast, Princess Midnight.” And having said that, she left. Midnight, with a grumpy look, started to eat the pancakes, alongside Silver Wind. But the latter noticed her friend wasn’t enjoying the pancakes she loved. Without being able to contain herself, Midnight said: “Silver, having a twin can sometimes be such a drag.” “Really, it sounds like it would be nice” Silver Wind said. “Well, it’s not” Midnight replied, while keeping eating. “This is supposed to be my special day, but I have to share everything with Sunny. Perhaps in the past that was fine to me, but… now, it’s just suffocating. My card, my party and even my pancakes!” “Sharing can be hard” Silver Wind agreed. “Just once in my life I wanted to have a birthday all to myself” Midnight confessed. “But, Midnight, you’ll always have the same birthday” Silver Wind observed. “Hey, why can’t we just go for a walk? Perhaps that will clear your mind.” “I guess your right…” Midnight said. After the breakfast, they went to the gardens where they soon found Sunny playing with Timber. “Hey, Sunny” Silver Wind said, as they approached. “Hey, girls” Sunny replied, throwing a ball that timber went fetch. “I’m already ending in giving Timber the exercise he needs. Then we can go pick the cake and the games, Midnight.” “I can’t wait for that…” Midnight replied, without any joy in her voice. “And I can’t wait to have raspberry cake for the party” Sunny said. “It will be great!” “But… Sunny, you know I prefer chocolate” Midnight replied. “We’re always eating chocolate cake” Sunny said. “This is our special day, we could have something different. And I think we could have different games as well. We could have new ones, along with some of the games of the last year.” “You mean the ones that you chose without me?” Midnight asked. “Yeah, in that way we can have lots of fun” Sunny said, while Timber returned with the ball. But the truth was Midnight was getting exasperated with Sunny. She always did that. She always made the decisions for both of them. That was another reason for not wanting to share a birthday with Sunny. The anger and frustration started to boil inside her in a way that a dark glow started to surrounding her horn. “I just… I just… I just wanted to not have a twin!” And, in an act of instinct, she unleased a dark wave that hit Sunny, causing a flash a light that, when disappeared, revealed now a much younger Sunny, with her being a toddler. “Midnight, what did you do!” Silver Wind exclaimed. “I… I… I don’t know!” she replied, also in panic. “I was just really mad at Sunny for having to share everything with her and having her deciding everything for our party and then when I noticed…” It was then that she realized that she had let herself be dominated by her dark magic, what caused her to cast an aging spell. “Oh no…” she said, horrified. “I just casted an aging spell on my own sister. And right before our birthday party.” “Birthday! Birthday! Birthday!” the baby Sunny exclaimed joyfully, while hopping up and down. “You have to turn her back to normal” Silver Wind said. “Oh, I wish, but aging spells are very advanced magic” Midnight said. “The one I did was at the spur of the moment. I can’t perform it at will.” “So who can?” “My mom… or my brother. Perhaps even the Generals.” “Good, we can ask for their help” Silver Wind said. “I don’t know…” Midnight said. “I can get a lot of trouble.” “But it was an accident” her friend told her. “I’m certain they’ll forgive you. And Sunny too.” “Even if that is true, I don’t know where they are” Midnight said. “My parents are out, Star is preparing his surprise for the party and I don’t normally know what the Generals are doing. Perhaps we could… I don’t know, wait until we’re close to the beginning of the party.” But that made Silver Wind make an inquisitive look to Midnight who then added: “And perhaps pick up the games for the party.” “Midnight, even if we are to wait for somepony to help us, we need at least watch over Sunny” Silver Wind said, while going to stop the little toddler that was trying to take a twig from Timber with her magic. “Why don’t we take her with us” Midnight suggested. “If the party is to happen, it needs some preparations as well. Besides, there will be plenty of toys to keep her busy.” “Toys! Toys!” the baby Sunny exclaimed excitedly, going to her sister’s side to give her a kiss. “See, even baby Sunny approves” Midnight replied. “Let’s go. Timber, go home.” And so Timber started to move away, in direction of Star’s room, while the tree fillies advanced to go pick the games for the party. At the play room, while Midnight was sitting on the couch looking at the book of games, Silver Wind was looking after baby Sunny, what wasn’t easy, as she was always running around, playing and throwing everything around, including things that weren’t supposed to be thrown. “Oh, Silver, finally I got to choose the party games myself” Midnight said. “Oh, look, magical bubbles! I love this one. We can get inside giant bubbles and float around inside them. Sunny never liked them because she hates when her mane gets messy with the soap.” It was then that Sunny appeared by her side and blew a party horn, a noise that clearly upset Midnight, who asked Silver Wind, getting up, while Sunny continued to walk around happily: “Where did she find that party horn?” “I don’t know” she replied, while catching Sunny with her magic and bringing her to her side. “It was her favorite toy. A present from aunt Pinkie Pie. She was always blowing it at my…” And Sunny blew the horn again in front of Midnight, causing her to release her. “…face. So one day I placed it in a place where she wouldn’t find it” Midnight told, while Sunny blew the party horn again. “Until today.” Moving towards her sister, Midnight asked, making her baby voice: “Give me the horn, Sunny.” But when Midnight tried to take it with her magic, Sunny pulled back with hers what caused the horn to be tear apart. Seeing what happened with her favorite toy, Sunny started to cry. “It’s okay” Silver Wind said, going to baby Sunny. “Please, stop crying, baby Sunny.” “Don’t bother, Silver, when my sister started to cry like that, she hardly calmed down quickly” Midnight said, while moving away a few steps. “But we need to calm her down somehow” Silver said. It was then that Sunny advanced to Midnight, calling: “Midnight…” Midnight wasn’t expecting that. “I think she wants you to hold her” Silver Wind said. Midnight so hold Sunny, while trying to calm her down. “There, there… It’s okay… It’s all better.” Eventually, baby Sunny got calmer. Holding her sister like that made Midnight to draw a tender smile, reminding all the close moments she have had with her. “Oh!” Silver Wind exclaimed, admiring the sweet moment her twin friends were having. Noticing how Silver Wind was looking at her and Sunny, Midnight reminded she was still mad at Sunny and regained her compose, placing Sunny down and saying: “Problem solved. Now back at picking up my games.” “Games! Games!” Sunny exclaimed. “Catch me!” And she started to run away quickly, getting out of the room. “Sunny, come back!” Silver Wind called, starting to follow her. Midnight sighed and told: “Great…” And the two pre-teen fillies started to chase the toddler one. But baby Sunny was very hard to catch, as she would easily dodge Midnight and Silver Wind or had a magic source that teleported her at the other side of the hall. Fortunately, Silver Wind was able to catch her by surprise. “I got you!” “Sunny is so energetic, either big or small” Midnight commented, while approaching. “I think she’s kind of fun” Silver Wind replied. “Fun! Fun!” Sunny exclaimed. “Come on” Midnight said. “It’s time to pick up my birthday cake.” “But, Midnight, don’t you think we should look out for the Generals?” Silver Wind asked. “We could get Heartbeat. I bet she is in her bedroom.” “But the party is in an hour” Midnight replied. “And I need to pick up the cake. Besides, Heartbeat’s magic is unpredictable. Do you remember when she tried to turn milkshake into coke, but ended making a sticky ice cream explosion?” “Yeah, my mom did not get very happy about that” Silver Wind remembered. “It was hard work to get it all from my mane… Okay, but how are we going to keep everypony at the kitchen from seeing baby Sunny?” “I have an idea” Midnight replied. At the kitchen, the cookers had already put in place all the cakes they have made on a table for the twins to pick. Midnight get in and, looking at the cakes, she said: “Wow, they look delicious! I don’t know if I’m going to be able to pick only one. I need total concentration. May I have some privacy?” The cookers made her a bow and then they left. After they did it, Midnight called: “Silver!” And Silver Wind got in with Sunny who, seeing the cake, started to run towards it, while shouting: “Cake! Cake!” “No, no, no” Midnight said, blocking her way. “They are for me to taste, little sister.” “I’ll find something for you to eat” Silver Wind said, taking Sunny away. She placed her on a stool nearby and then took a spoon full of pees from a bowl and asked: “Do you want some pees? Don’t they look yami?” But Sunny quickly drove the spoon away, not wanting to take it. Meanwhile, Midnight was tasting the cakes. “Coconut… Chocolate…” But when she was to the next one, Sunny started to shout: “Rapberry… Rapberry…” Sighing, Midnight said: “Here she is wanting the same raspberry cake for our birthday. But it’s my choice today and I choose chocolate.” “No! Rapberry cake!” Sunny protested, getting up and running towards the cakes. “Sunny, no!” Silver called. Getting to the table, Sunny tried to jump up there, hanging at the edge while trying to get the piece of raspberry cake. Midnight tried to put her down, but the plate with the piece of cake was dropped, making the cake fall in Sunny’s head. The little fillie took it and then started to eat it, filling her mouth with the frosting. That image caused Midnight to start laughing. “That happens every year” Midnight said. “She gets more cake on her face than her mouth.” “So sharing your birthday with Sunny is fun sometimes, right?” Sunny said. “Well… sometimes” Midnight admitted. “I guess…” She turned to her toddler twin who, after eating the last piece of cake, cleaned her face to Midnight’s coat. “Sunny, no!” the latter exclaimed. “Now I have to clean my coat.” “First we have to make Sunny go back to normal” Silver Wind said. “But we still don’t have a way to do it” Midnight replied, helping then her sister to get up. “And both of us need to clean up. “Come on.” At the bathroom, Silver Wind was trying to clean baby Sunny, while Midnight was cleaning herself at her room, but the task was proving to be very difficult, as Sunny didn’t remain still. Midnight got in, all cleaned up, and asked, while approaching: “Is she cleaned up yet?” “Almost” Silver Wind replied, while trying to keep Sunny from moving. “But she keeps squirming.” “Water! Water!” Sunny exclaimed, turning to the little bathtub full of water and splashing water on Midnight. “Great, no I have to get dried” the latter said. But Sunny just kept laughing of Midnight’s look. “Oh you think that’s funny, hein?” Midnight asked. “Well, two can play this game, little filly.” And she also splashed water over Sunny. It didn’t take long for the two of them to start a water splash war against each other, with both of them laughing with joy. “Sunny and I used to have the best water fights” Midnight told. “Those used to drive Star crazy, what caused us to laugh even more. Isn’t that right?” “Midnight! Midnight!” Sunny exclaimed, while splashing water at Midnight that returned to the water fight. That caused Silver Wind to smile, seeing how much fun they were having together. Once they were all cleaned and dried, Midnight and Silver wind brought Sunny to former’s room. “There you go” Midnight said, putting Sunny on her bed. While Midnight went to Silver Wind, Sunny crawled at the bed, finding then a little present there. She took it and then asked: “What that? What that?” Seeing it, Midnight said: “It looks like a present.” Sunny handed the present to Midnight. “For me?” she asked, going to take it. “From you? Well, the older you. She must have left it in her room when I turned her into a baby.” “Well, go ahead, open it” Silver Wind said. “Okay…” Midnight opened and then took a beautiful locket that caused a smile on her face. “It’s a locket.” She opened it and got caught by surprise by seeing a picture of her and Sunny, together and happy. “It’s you and Sunny” Silver Wind said. “It’s from a painting Purple Smoke made for us last year” Midnight told. “Do you help me put it on?” “Sure.” They headed to the looking glass where Silver Wind helped Midnight put the locked, while the latter admired it. “It’s beautiful” she said. “Sunny knows how I love lockets.” “I guess having a twin can be a good thing” Silver said. “A really good thing” Midnight admitted. Midnight now could see that, despite all the trouble her sister could cause to her, despite all the decisions she took from her, despite all the sharing, her life without Sunny as her twin wouldn’t be the same. In fact, it would be meaningless. “We need to get my twin sister back” Midnight said. “We have to find one of Generals or Star as soon as possible.” “Now that’s the Midnight I know and love” Silver Wind said. They turned to baby Sunny but then they saw she was gone. “Sunny?! Where did she go?!” “Sunny!” It was then they heard her laugh coming from outside the room. “Oh no…” “We have to find her” Midnight said. They got out and started to look out for her. But it was then they came to an impasse. “We look everywhere!” Midnight exclaimed. “Where is she?” “Perhaps she is in the throne room” Silver Wind suggested, pointing to the entrance. “We haven’t looked there.” They arrived to the room, but Sunny wasn’t there either. “Sunny?” “Are you in here?” But there was no answer. “She’s not here” Midnight said. “Oh, Silver, what are we going to do? We have searched in every room in the castle.” “Calm down, Midnight, we’re going to find her” Sunny said. “But not before my parents get back” Midnight said sitting on the floor. “I’m going to get in so much trouble. And the fault is all mine and my stupid magic.” “No, it was an accident” Silver Wind replied. “I saw that.” “Yes, but I was the one who didn’t ask for help when it happened” Midnight said. “I wanted to have a birthday party just for me so badly that I delayed the needs of my own twin sister. And now I don’t know where she is…” At that moment, the jewel of Midnight’s mane clip started to glow for a moment. It was then that a voice said: “I can see you are in a predicament, Princess Midnight.” She and Silver Wind looked and saw Mirror Coat beside them. “Mirror Coat!” they all exclaimed. “When did you get here?” Silver Wind asked. “Just now, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s going on” he said. “It looks like somepony has been dealing with very complex magic.” “Yeah… I used an aging spell on my sister” Midnight confessed. “It was an accident, but…” “But you seized that opportunity to try to get what you wanted” Mirror Coat completed. “I just wanted a birthday party of my own” Midnight told. “But I let my selfishness get in the way of what Sunny needed. I’m such a bad sister.” “Princess… making mistakes is part of the pony nature” Mirror Coat said, putting a hoof on Midnight’s shoulder. “Even I make mistakes. Fewer than most ponies, but they are mistakes. But I don’t let them take the best on me. I work hard to correct them. I think you can do it too.” “But how?” “Well, I can reverse the aging spell, but in order to do that, you need to find your sister” Mirror Coat said. “She’s here, that’s for sure. You just need to lure her out.” “And how am I going to do that?” Midnight asked. “You know her better than anypony, Midnight” Silver Wind said. “Isn’t there something that can make her come out?” It was then that Midnight remembered one thing. “I guess I could… sing that silly song Sunny loves so much. I can’t believe I’m doing this.” Taking a deep breath, Midnight said: “All right, here goes.” And Midnight started to sing the same song Sunny had sung earlier, while everypony looked around, waiting for Sunny to appear. While she sang that song, Midnight’s longing for her twin started to increase even more, until eventually smiling while remembering their good times together, looking at their picture inside the locket. She then started to sing new verses, while going to her mother’s throne and sitting there, expressing the worry she would feel if she didn’t find her twin and that she would give anything for her to be by her side. At that moment, she felt somepony pocking her. She looked and saw Sunny, who called: “Midnight! Midnight!” “Baby Sunny!” Midnight called, while holding her. And she started to sing the last part of the song, while dancing with Sunny, just like she did when she sang the song, with the two twins ending it together, before the smiling faces of Silver Wind and Mirror Coat. “I missed you, sis” Midnight told Sunny, hugging her, before placing her on the foor. “Mirror Coat, now.” The General of Knowledge charged his horn with magic and casted the spell on Sunny who was involved with a blinding light that, when it cleared, revealed a normal aged Sunny. “Sunny!” Midnight exclaimed, going to hug her sister. “I missed you!” “Why?” Sunny asked, making her twin release her. “I didn’t go anywhere.” Midnight and Silver Wind traded a look and former asked: “You don’t remember anything… strange happening today?” “Well, you just hugged me” Sunny replied. “Normally that’s my job. Other than that, no.” She then noticed the locked and said: “Hey, you found my present.” “Oh, ah, yes” Midnight said. “And I love it. Thank you.” “Brilliant.” “I’ll give you your gift at the party.” “There you are!” a voice said. They looked and saw Twilight and Blue appearing. “It’s party time!” Blue exclaimed. “Come on!” “Great!” Sunny exclaimed, following her parents, along with Silver Wind. Midnight, instead of following them, went to Mirror Coat and said: “Mirror Coat, could you make me a favor? Do you have a fixing spell?” “That depends on what you want to fix” he replied. At the party, all the guests were having lots of fun. All of twins’ friends were there, including Gust, Apple Storm, Winesap Apple and Gallus (who, despite pretending not be having any fun, was actually enjoying himself), Star’s friends and Twilight’s and their husbands as well. The Generals were there too, with Purple Smoke making his shapeshifting show and Melody conducting the musicians that were playing. The twins were looking how Silver Wind was enjoying herself inside a magical bubble when Sunny said: “It’s funny, I don’t remember picking magical bubbles for the party.” “Hey, I have your present” Midnight said, holding then the party horn that she had asked Mirror Coat to fix. “You found the party horn aunt Pinkie Pie gave me!” Sunny exclaimed, happily. “I always loved this thing.” And she blew it, right in Midnight’s face. But this time, she didn’t mind it. “Happy birthday, Sunny” she said, looking then to Mirror Coat that was close that nodded to her. Twilight and Blue approached the twins and the latter said, while he and Twilight handed over two packages to their daughters: “Well, it’s time for our presents. We had to go to Ponyville to get them.” “Your aunt Rarity only had them ready today, so…” Twilight said. The twins got the packages and opened them, becoming astonished when they saw brand new dresses, each one with a unique design, fitting their personalities perfectly. “We love them!” they exclaimed. “Yeah, your mom also thought that” Blue replied. “Hey, where’s Star?” Twilight asked. “We don’t see him since breakfast.” “I’m here” he said, landing beside his family. “I was just preparing my surprise.” “Oh, I can’t wait to see it!” Sunny exclaimed. “Heartbeat!” Star called and the General of Affection appeared. “Is everything in place?” “All the cauldrons are in their designated place” she replied. “Cauldrons?” Twilight asked, turning to her son. “Star, what are you planning to do?” “Don’t worry, mom, I won’t put the place on fire… I think” Star replied. “I have been practicing. Don’t worry. Just relax and enjoy.” And so he accessed his magic and fired sparks at the sky that then started to fall until they landed on the cauldrons Heartbeat had placed before. The cauldrons started to bubble and they their containment was fired at the sky, exploding in what was a beautiful fire work. Everypony got amazed with it, stopping everything they were doing to admire it. “Wow!” the twins exclaimed. “Star, that’s amazing!” Twilight admired. “How did you…?” “I just tested my alchemy abilities” Star said. “Turns out making firework is one of the simplest and yet most complex things to do. Fortunately, Heartbeat helped me in picking the right patterns and colors.” “Son, I just have to say you don’t cease to amaze me” Blue said. “Yeah, me too” Twilight said. “You just made this birthday very special to your sisters.” And the three of them just looked to the twins, who were watching the firework, while laughing together.
