Sunset Shimmer woke up in a good mood. She didn’t usually wake up in a good mood. But today she had a reason to be happy. She had a new home. She was lucky to have Luna. Because even if she told her parents what she felt, she knew her parents wouldn’t care about what Sunset Shimmer felt. She got up and went straight to the dining room for breakfast. She opened the door to the living room and saw Luna eating. But for a strange reason, Celestia and Twilight Sparkle haven’t arrived yet. She wondered where they were.
Twilight Sparkle was in her bed, still asleep. For some reason, she couldn’t get up. Was it sleep or laziness? Suddenly a hoof sound was heard at the door, “Twilight? Are you awake?” but no answer came.
Celestia opened the door with her magic, and saw Twilight Sparkle lying on the bed, sleeping. Smiling, she went to Twilight Sparkle to wake her, “Wake up, my student. Time to wake up,“ she nudged Twilight Sparkle lightly with a hull.
“I don’t want to ... Let me sleep, princess”, replied Twilight Sparkle sleepily.
“I understand you want to sleep more. But today is a beautiful day“, Celestia opened the curtains.
Twilight Sparkle, who was all covered with the blanket, got up. Her mane was messy. She yawned.
“Did you sleep well?” asked Celestia worriedly.
“It’s just that I was reading yesterday in The night”, replied Twilight Sparkle, still tired.
“What time did you go to bed?” asked Celestia.
“Five o’clock”, blushed Twilight Sparkle with a smile.
“Twilight, I know you love to read. But know that rest is important too”, said Celestia as she stroked the messy mane of Twilight Sparkle.
“Yeah, you’re right. But I can’t resist books. They have so much information,“ said Twilight Sparkle before looking at her mane. “Wow, my mane is really messy, right?”
“Yes, Twilight. Would you like me to go out and prepare to eat?“ said Celestia.
“Yes, you can go ahead. I know the way to the dining room”, relpied Twilight Sparkle before going to the bathroom and closing the door.
Celestia left her student’s room with a smile.
Celestia entered the dining room and saw that Luna had already finished eating and was waiting for Sunset Shimmer to finish, “so? She woke up?“ asked Luna.
“Yes, she woke up”, replied Celestia, before she sat down in her chair and began to eat.
The door opened, revealing Twilight Sparkle. She went to the table to stand beside Celestia to eat the pancakes.
After they finished eating, Twilight Sparkle went to Celestia, “Princess, I have something to tell you”
Celestia looked at Twilight Sparkle, “and what is it?” asked Celestia with a smile.
“You know that dragon I shocked to pass the test?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
“Yes. What about him? “ asked Celestia.
“Can I have him?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
“Well, at the moment he’s being taken care of by the nannies of the castle. Do you know how to take care of a dragon?”
Twilight Sparkle sighed, “No, Princess. But I’ll study more about his species”
“Okay, Twilight. I’ll bring him. Wait here“, said Celestia before she started walking.
What Celestia didn’t know was that Twilight Sparkle was jumping for joy.
When Celestia brought the newborn dragon, Twilight Sparkle stopped jumping happily. She just stared with a smile, “What name are you going to give him, Twilight?”
“Spike”, replied Twilight Sparkle before putting Spike on her back.
When Twilight Sparkle arrived in the library, she couldn’t help but be happy. No matter how many times she came, she would always feel cheerful in the castle library. Twilight Sparkle took some books that talked about dragons and began to read. Spike was at the table, watching Twilight Sparkle reading, “Twilight, what are you reading?”
Twilight Sparkle looked at Sunset Shimmer, “about dragons”
Sunset Shimmer noticed that there was a purple dragon on the table, “where did you get this dragon?”
“When I went to do my test to go to school, I had to shock a dragon egg”, replied Twilight Sparkle.
Sunset Shimmer was still confused, “yes. But I’ve never seen him with you before”
“It’s because I spoke to Princess Celestia today. And she let me stay with the dragon“, smiled Twilight Sparkle.
“Good for you,” smiled Sunset Shimmer. “Can I read about dragons with you?”
“Of course, Sunset”, replied Twilight Sparkle.
A solar guard entered the library, “Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are waiting for you for dinner”
Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle stared at a library window, and it was nighttime. They spent all day reading about dragons. But they had fun. Sunset Shimmer was about to leave when she heard a sound of magic. She looked back and saw Twilight Sparkle picking up the books with her magic as she put it back on the shelf, “do you want some help?”
Twilight Sparkle looked at Sunset Shimmer, “No thank you. You can go ahead”
Sunset Shimmer went to Twilight Sparkle, “Are you sure? Isn’t that selfish of me?”
“Of course not. I’ve always enjoyed arranging books on the shelf in my home. You can go ahead. I’ll catch up with you“, said Twilight Sparkle.
“If you say ...” Sunset Shimmer left the library.
As the dining room door opened, the princesses expected to see Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer together. But they just saw Sunset Shimmer, “where’s Twilight?” asked Celestia.
“She’s in the library, arranging the books we read on the shelves. I offered to help her, but she didn’t want to“, replied Sunset Shimmer.
Celestia raised an eyebrow curiously. Twilight Sparkle refusing the help of a friend? “I will talk to her”
Celestia left the room and headed for the library. When she looked, she saw Twilight Sparkle sitting with several books around herself as she arranged each book on the shelf. Spike looked at Twilight Sparkle, “Twilight”
Twilight Sparkle was startled, and all the books fell to the ground. Twilight Sparkle saw Celestia. She smiled nervously, “P-princess! What are you doing here? Not that your company isn’t good, but ... "
“Twilight, please calm down. I just came here to call you to eat,“ interrupted Celestia. “You can arrange the books on the shelf after you eat”
“O-okay, Princess”, stammered Twilight Sparkle, while smiling nervously.
When they reached the dining room, they saw Luna and Sunset Shimmer talking happily. Her plates were already empty. Celestia sat in a chair next to Luna and Twilight Sparkle sat next to Celestia. Twilight Sparkle wanted to put Spike in a chair next to hers, but there was no, “princess”
Celestia looked at Twilight Sparkle, “yes?”
“Can you get a chair for Spike?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
“Yes, Twilight. Sunny Cloud!” called Celestia.
A white-colored unicorn, blue mane and Cutie Mark of a yellow sun with a cloud went up to Celestia and bowed, “Yes, Your Majesty?”
“Get a chair for the dragon, please”, said Celestia.
Sunny Cloud nodded before looking for a chair.
When Sunny Cloud returned, only Celestia and Twilight Sparkle were. Sunny Cloud put a chair near Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle put Spike in the chair. Twilight Sparkle’s stomach rumbled. She was very hungry. When she realized the food was there, she began to eat fast. Celestia was worried, “Twilight, you don’t have to eat so fast”
Twilight Sparkle realized her mistake and looked at Celestia, “I’m sorry, Princess! I’m sorry for my ways! I forgot that I wasn’t at my home! Please don’t banish me!”
Celestia was surprised by this, “Twilight, I would never do that. Where did this idea come from?”
“Because you’re the ruler, you can do whatever you want. Until banish who are not worth for you“, replied Twilight Sparkle.
Celestia smiled, “Twilight, I may be the ruler of Equestria, but I would never do that to my subjects. Not with you, especially”
Twilight Sparkle was surprised, “Really, Princess?”
“Of course, Twilight”, Celestia hugged Twilight Sparkle with a wing.
Since no pony was having nightmares, Luna was able to sleep well, in peace, and didn’t have to go to the dream world. She was having a good dream. But, her good dream was soon interrupted, “Luna, Luna”
Luna was startled by the presence, no. Not her!
Nightmare Moon went to Luna, “I see that you managed to resist me and got a pony that likes our night”
Luna looked at Nightmare Moon, “Our night, no! My night!”
“Why be rude? I was just talking“, said Nightmare Moon.
“I’m not going to fall for your little games and lies. You’re talking about it to manipulate me“, said Luna.
Nightmare Moon made a shocked expression as she put a hull on her chest, “oh. Why you think like that? Before you found Sunset Shimmer as your student, I was your friend’s”
“You were never my friend!” exclaimed Luna.
“Liar. Whenever you felt alone, you felt happy with me keeping you company“, said Nightmare Moon as she grimaced.
Luna then realized that Nightmare Moon had mentioned Sunset Shimmer, “wait, how do you know I have a student? And how do you know her name?”
Nightmare Moon smiled, “Luna, Luna. You and I are one and the same. Everything you feel, I feel too”
“You’re not me! And never will be! BE GONE!“ Luna used Canterlot’s real voice in the last sentence.
Nightmare Moon smiled as it disappeared like a wind, “you will see, Luna. When you least expect it, I’ll return. And together, we will make the night last forever”
Celestia was sleeping soundly as she dreamed she was having a picnic with Twilight Sparkle. Celestia was having tea while Twilight Sparkle was reading a book. The day was beautiful, there was no cloud in the sky, only the sun. Suddenly, she and Twilight Sparkle from the dream felt hot. A white alicorn in orange armor appeared, “well, well, if it’s not Celestia with your student Twilight Sparkle”
Celestia looked confused, “Who are you?”
“You don’t know who i am? I’m am Daybreaker!”
The Twilight Sparkle of the dream hid behind Celestia in fear. Daybreaker noticed and smiled at Twilight Sparkle’s dream, “Don’t worry, my student, I will not hurt you”
Celestia got up, “she’s my student. Not your student”
Daybreaker rolled her eyes, “You and I are the same pony. What difference does?”
“The difference is that I will never become you!” exclaimed Celestia.
“Deep down you know you’re powerful. You don’t need Luna,“ said Daybreaker. “You are the ruler, you can do whatever you want”
“I can be the ruler. But it doesn’t mean that I will become a tyrant,“ protested Celestia. “Get out of my mind now!”
“OK, I go. But keep my words, I will return“, Daybreaker disappeared from the dream of Celestia.
Celestia looked at Twilight Sparkle’s dream, “Shall we continue with our picnic, Twi?”
Twilight Sparkle’s dream nodded, before re-reading the book, and Celestia grab a cookie from the dish and eat.
