When Sunset Shimmer woke up, she felt lazy and despite sleeping, she was still sleepy. Waking up early wasn’t something she could do well. Sunset Shimmer started to hear knocking on the door, she covered her head with the blanket. “Sunset Shimmer, are you awake?”
No answer came, the door opened to reveal Celestia. Celestia looked at the bed and saw something under the blanket, of course she knew it was Sunset Shimmer who was down there, she approached the bed and nudged her student. “Sunset Shimmer.”
Sunset Shimmer moved a little, but it didn’t come out under the blanket. Despite this, Celestia was still smiling. “Come on Sunset, we need to have breakfast together.”
Sunset Shimmer came out from under the blanket, her mane was pretty messed up. Celestia was concerned. “Sunset, your mane is messed up.”
Sunset Shimmer brought out a mirror to look at. “You’re right, Princess Celestia. I’ll brush my mane now.” Sunset Shimmer got out of bed and headed for the bathroom, Celestia waited for her student in the room.
Trixie and Luna were at the dinner table eating pancakes while waiting for Celestia to return. Trixie was without her magician suit, Luna looked at her. “What did you think of the nocturnal class, Trixie?”
Trixie looked at Luna with a big smile. “Trixie loved it! Trixie never imagined that taking classes at night would be so magnificent!”
Luna smiled. “I’m glad you liked it.”
The door opened revealing Celestia, beside her was Sunset Shimmer. Celestia sat down. “How was Trixie’s night class, Luna?”
“Trixie loved it and said it was magnificent. I’ve never been so happier in my life, sister.” Luna was trying to not cry in front of her sister, her student and Sunset Shimmer.
While Celestia smiled, Sunset Shimmer felt the same feeling as before. The unicorn didn’t understand why she felt this. Was it because Sunset Shimmer was angry that Trixie thought Luna was better than Celestia? Or was it because she wanted to take other types of classes than magic? She really didn’t know. Sunset Shimmer looked at Celestia and realized that her mentor was still talking to Luna, she went to the table to start eating.
After they finished eating, Sunset Shimmer and Celestia went to the garden, while Trixie went to her room to play, Luna went to the room to sleep. Upon reaching the room, Trixie took her hat and magician cape with her magic and dressed. That done, Trixie made several teddy bears appear and placed them side by side as if they were an audience. Trixie took off her magic hat and started doing magic tricks with it.
While Trixie was doing amazing magic tricks, she didn’t realize that Sunset Shimmer was watching her. Sunset Shimmer had an expression of sadness, she wanted to be talented just like her friend. I mean, Sunset Shimmer thought she was talented at making spells, but she wanted to have that talent to do magic tricks just like Trixie. Was it wrong for her to feel this and want to be better than Trixie? Why was she feeling this again? Why couldn’t she be happy for her best friend? Was it because she wanted to be better at everything? Sunset Shimmer decided to leave, but unfortunately a voice stopped her. “Sunset? What are you doing here?”
Sunset Shimmer looked back and saw Trixie looking at her with a possibly worried look, and she had put her magic hat back on her head. “Are your classes today with Princess Celestia over yet?”
“Yes, and it was pretty quick,” said Sunset Shimmer.
“What spell did she teach you, Sunset?” asked Trixie.
“A levitation spell.”
“Well, Trixie would like to know why you were spying on her.”
Sunset Shimmer was unsure. Sunset Shimmer didn’t want to say that the reason she was spying on Trixie was because she felt that feeling unknown, because she feared that if she spoke, Trixie would hate her forever. But she had an idea. “Well, I came here because I wanted to spend time with you, and seeing you do magic tricks left me amazed.”
Trixie smiled with joy. “Really? Did you like Trixie’s magic tricks? Trixie is happy. Would you like to be Trixie’s assistant?”
Sunset Shimmer looked to the side while lifting a front and rear hoove. “Trixie, I would like us both to do something different ...”
Trixie looked sad about that. “What would you like to do?”
“We could go for a walk around the castle while we talk,” said Sunset Shimmer.
Trixie looked uncertain. “Can’t Trixie stay here in her room to practice her unicorn magic so that she is great and powerful?”
“Trixie, I understand why you want to train your magic, but I would like to spend the rest of the day with you.”
Trixie thought before answering. “OK. Trixie will spend the rest of the day with you, but only because Sunset is Trixie’s only friend.”
Sunset Shimmer hugged Trixie. Trixie was surprised. “Thank you, Trixie. You’re really my best friend.”
Trixie’s surprised expression changed to a smile. “You’re also Trixie’s best friend.”
Sunset Shimmer left the embrace. “So, how about we go for a walk in the garden?”
“Trixie liked the idea!” Sunset Shimmer and Trixie left the room.
Sunset Shimmer couldn’t help but notice that Trixie was wearing a cape and hat of a magician. “Trixie.”
“Yes?”
“Why are you wearing magician clothes?”
“Because it is with this outfit that Trixie feels great and powerful.”
“But Trixie, you don’t need that outfit to be great and powerful. You’re already talented without that outfit.”
“Really? Thank you, Sunset,” Trixie put a hoof on her chest while smiling. “But Trixie is still going to continue to wear that outfit.”
“But what is so special about a cape and a hat? It’s just a outfit. It’s not like it’s going to help you improve your magic even more,” said Sunset Shimmer.
Trixie stopped walking. “Listen here, Sunset. Are you by any chance saying that Trixie isn’t great and powerful?!”
Sunset Shimmer stopped walking and went back to where Trixie was. “What? No, Trixie. You have talent. But I think you shouldn’t be spending most of your time bragging.”
“Trixie doesn’t boast. She shows her skills to the ponies,” say Trixie.
Sunset Shimmer rolled her eyes. “It’s the same thing…”
“No, it isn’t.”
“It’s the same thing, yes.”
“No, it isn’t.”
“It’s the same thing, yes.”
“No, it isn’t!”
“It’s the same thing, yes!”
“No, it isn’t!”
“It’s the same thing!”
“No, it isn’t!”
“It’s the same thing, yes!”
“Trixie. Sunset. Could you two please stop fighting?”
Sunset Shimmer and Trixie were nervous. The two recognized the voice and looked up and saw Luna looking at them tiredly and possibly sulky, her mane was a little messy and she had dark circles. Trixie and Sunset were nervous, they didn’t realize that they were fighting at the door of Luna’s room.
“Sorry, Princess Luna, Trixie is sorry for waking you up. Are you mad at Trixie?” said Trixie.
Luna yawned as she raised a hoof close to her mouth. “Well, I hate being awake, and when that happens, I don’t have a good mood on my face. But, I’m not one to scream or get mad at foals, so you two consider yourself forgiven for waking me up.”
Trixie hugged Luna in the hooves while smiling and had her eyes closed. “Thank you Princess Luna, Trixie feels happy that she has been forgiven.”
Luna smiled while stroked Trixie’s mane, despite being tired. “You’re welcome, Trixie. Now, can I know why you two were fighting?”
Trixie came out of the hug. “Sunset Shimmer told Trixie that she couldn’t wear a cape and hat of magician, and even said that Trixie is showing off!”
Luna looked at Sunset Shimmer in a way not happy. Sunset Shimmer was a little scared by the look of the princess, she had a raised hoof and took a few steps back. “Sunset Shimmer, could you please apologize to Trixie?”
Sunset Shimmer looked at the floor. Sunset Shimmer didn’t want to apologize, because she thought she was right. She looked at Luna, and saw that the princess’s serious gaze didn’t waver. Sunset Shimmer approached Trixie. “Trixie, I’m sorry for saying that. Can you forgive me?”
Trixie looked uncertain. Should she forgive Sunset Shimmer? Like, Sunset Shimmer kind of kept saying that Trixie was a displayed. She looked at Luna as if to say, “Should I forgive her?” Luna nodded. Trixie looked back at Sunset Shimmer and hugged her. “Trixie forgives you.”
Sunset Shimmer smiled. “Thank you, Trixie.”
Luna smiled at the scene. “Well, I’m going to go back to sleep. See you at lunch, Trixie.”
Trixie and Sunset Shimmer came out of the embrace and watched Luna enter the room and close the door. Sunset Shimmer looked at Trixie. “So Trixie, are we going to the garden?”
Trixie looked at Sunset Shimmer. “Yes. Let’s go.”
When they arrived in the garden, the two started playing tag. Sunset Shimmer was running from Trixie. Although they didn’t realize it, they were entering the statues garden. They were having a great time, but Sunset Shimmer hit her forehead on a statue, she put a front hoof on her head. Trixie ran to Sunset Shimmer. “Are you okay, Sunset?”
“My head hurts a lot,” said Sunset Shimmer.
“Is there a nursery in the castle?” Asked Trixie.
“I think so. Let’s ask for one of the guards.”
“But don’t the royal guards just follow orders from the two royal sisters?”
“A royal guard said that he and the other guards said they could help me if Princess Celestia was busy.” Sunset Shimmer started walking, Trixie followed.
Upon arriving at the infirmary, the yellow nurse with brown mane looked worriedly at Sunset Shimmer. “Are you okay? Do you feel anything?”
“Yes. I hit my head on a statue and it hurts a lot, ”replied Sunset. “Is there ice?”
“Yes.” The mare went to a refrigerator, opened it, took an ice, then a plastic bag, put the ice inside the plastic and handed it to Sunset Shimmer, she took the ice bag with her magic, put it in the head.
“Thank you.” Sunset Shimmer left the room with Trixie.
“You’re welcome,” said the nurse.
“Are you feeling better?” asked Trixie, concerned.
“A little. At least it doesn’t hurt that much anymore.” smiled Sunset Shimmer.
A royal guard approached Sunset Shimmer and Trixie. “Sunset! Trixie! The princesses are waiting for you two in the dining room for lunch.”
“Thanks for letting us know. We will go now.” Sunset Shimmer and Trixie started walking to the dining room.
Upon reaching the dining room, Trixie opened the door with her magic as Sunset Shimmer couldn’t do that at the moment.
“Sunset! Are you okay? Are you hurt? Does it hurt?” asked Celestia worriedly, noting that Sunset Shimmer had an ice pack on her head.
“It doesn’t hurt as much as it did before, Princess Celestia,” said Sunset Shimmer.
“Where did you hurt your head?”
“I hit my head, or rather, my forehead on a statue in the garden.”
“Trixie, did you get hurt too?” asked Luna, also worried.
“No, Princess Luna.” Trixie approached the table and sat next to Luna to eat.
Sunset Shimmer did the same as Trixie, only she sat next to Celestia instead of Luna.
After finishing eating, Celestia went to the throne room. Luna, to her room to return to sleep. Trixie also went to her room, only to play of magician, and Sunset Shimmer was the library to read. Even though reading wasn’t her hobby, Sunset Shimmer knew it was one of the things she could do while at the castle. When she entered the library, Sunset Shimmer started looking for books on magic, but unfortunately whenever she picked up and looked for a book she didn’t find a spell. Sunset Shimmer didn’t want to give up easily, but she was starting to think that maybe she wouldn’t find a spell book in the library. Sunset Shimmer blew out a breath. It was obvious that there would be no spell books in the library, but that didn’t mean she didn’t want leave of have to hope that maybe it could have.
Sunset Shimmer took the books from the shelves and put them back. When Sunset Shimmer was finished, she intended to leave the library to spend time with Trixie, but stopped when it saw two doors. Sunset Shimmer was curious and went to one of the doors, she went to the left door and tried to open it, but it was locked. Sunset Shimmer decided to see the other door and saw that there was something written on the door. “Forbidden room.” She was about to enter, but she heard the sound of footsteps, Sunset Shimmer was running back to where she was, hoping they didn’t know she was near the door to the forbidden room. A white royal guard, yellow armor and dark blue mane appeared at the door. “Sunset, the princesses are waiting for you for dinner in the dining room.”
“I’ll be going,” said Sunset Shimmer. The royal guard came out of the library entrance. When the guard left, Sunset Shimmer was grateful that she wasn’t caught for finding out and being very close to entering the forbidden room. Maybe she could enter that forbidden room tomorrow, but she would try to not lose the track of time.
In the dining room, Trixie ate pasta and Luna, vegetable soup. Celestia wasn’t eating yet because she was waiting for Sunset Shimmer. She was wondering if Sunset Shimmer was going to be long in coming.
“Sister, aren’t you going to eat?” asked Luna.
“I’m going to eat, Luna,” Celestia looked at Luna. “I’m just waiting for Sunset Shimmer.”
They heard the sound of a door opening. Celestia and Luna looked at the door and saw Sunset Shimmer, the yellow unicorn had a smile on its face as it approached Celestia.
“Sunset, what have you been doing all day?” asked Celestia.
“I was playing with Trixie and also reading in the library,” said Sunset Shimmer.
“Are you feeling better?”
“Yes.” Sunset Shimmer took the bag with ice and made it disappear.
After Trixie and Luna finished eating they went to the garden. Trixie was excited for her night classes. What would Luna be teaching her today? What kind of spell would Luna teach her? Although Trixie was excited for spell classes, she was also excited for astronomy classes. Luna and Trixie were now outside the castle and were walking on the castle bridge. Trixie looked at the night sky and saw that the moon was full, had many stars and few constellations, she was so distracted looking at the sky that she ended up bumping into Luna. Luna didn’t seem to feel it and sat under a tree. Trixie did the same and sat down, but not under the tree.
“So Princess Luna, what are you going to teach Trixie today?” Trixie smiled with a look and a smile cute laugh.
Luna felt her cheeks hurt from smiling so much at the cuteness she was seeing. “Today I am going to teach you how to make objects appear with their magic.”
“Like that?” Trixie made several fireworks appear and go to the sky to explode.
“No, Trixie.” Trixie stopped what she was doing and her pupils looked like a puppy. “It’s like that.” Luna brought up a purple magic hat with stars. Trixie recognized the hat.
“Trixie’s hat! How did you manage to teleport him?” Trixie approached Luna.
Luna put the hat on Trixie. “Simple. I thought about your hat and it was teleported to me. Would you like to try?”
“Of course Trixie will try.” Trixie closed her eyes and used her magic. Her magician cape appeared and she put it on.
Luna smiled. “Very well, Trixie. I see that you’re very talented with your magic.”
Trixie looked at Luna. “Of course Trixie is talented with her magic. Now, would you like to see Trixie do magic tricks?”
“After Trixie from your astronomy class, okay?” said Luna.
Trixie was sad, but tried to be understanding, she looked at the floor. “Okay, Princess Luna.”
Luna hugged Trixie with a wing. “Don’t be sad, Trixie. I really like and appreciate your magic tricks, but first it has to be your classes and then we can have fun.”
Trixie was surprised. “Do you really like and appreciate Trixie’s magic tricks?”
“Of course I like and appreciate it,” replied Luna. “Besides the fact that you’re adorable and cute.”
Trixie’s ears perked up at the last sentence. “What was that, Princess Luna?”
Luna realized what she said and felt nervous. “N-nothing.”
