"This is the best thing ever!!" SilverShine loudly squealed, jumping up and down like she was on a trampoline.
She was excitedly staring up at the stage in front of her, colourful spotlights were shining through the night sky. Other spotlights shone on two ponies in the center of the stage, one being a sky blue unicorn with a violet hat and cape, the other being a light purple unicorn with a purple and blue mane.
They were doing the famous Moonshot Manticore Mouth Dive, the blue pony had just landed in the mouth of a manticore on the left of the stage. A few seconds later and a black box on the right of the stage flashed
The crowd screamed with joy, as the stage curtains dropped. As everyone grew quiet fireworks appeared, booming in the sparkling, night sky.
From the crowd sat SilverShine, she was in awe, The performance was flawless. She didn't realize, but she continued to sit and wait until everyone but another foal left from the magic show.
"Hey SilverShine? Yah there?" The other foal jokingly questioned, waving one of his hooves in front of her face.
SilverShine Snapped out of her trance, "Did you see how amazing that show was, FiddleSticks?" She whispered, in complete shock.
"Eh, it was okay, I know you're into that stuff so you probably liked it better than I did, I'll give you that. Now c'mon, let's go!" FiddleSticks stated, as they started walking out from the stage view.
As FiddleSticks and SilverShine walked through Canterlot back to their homes SilverShine said, "I'm glad the Great and Powerful Trixie decided to do a show in Canterlot, I've always wanted to see it!!"
"But it's obvious that her assistant, Starlight Glimmer, does all the work. Did you see her in the back?" FiddleSticks complained.
"I want to be a magician so bad!! Do you think I could do the Moonshot Manticore Mouth Dive?" Questioned SilverShine. "I'm not sure Shine, Trixie and Starlight used magic to get free, and you're an earth pony." He reminded SilverShine, playfully pushing her.
"But I could practice all the time, until I get it perfect! I'll just have to be brave about it!!" SilverShine yelled.
"But what if you get hurt?" FiddleSticks asked, spreading out his wings. "Blasting into a manticores mouth with no way to escape, it doesn't seem brave, it just seems reckless."
"But what if I can make it?" She questioned, with a smirk.
"I don't know but, please don't try it. I have to go back home so I'll see you later," He started to fly a bit into the air but then he flew towards her face, "just please, do NOT fly into a manticore mouth if I'm gone, alright? Okay bye!"
"Okaay fine, bye FiddleSticks!!" she groaned as he flew off to Cloudsdale.
A few minutes later she walked into her house. As she walked through the door, a golden coloured unicorn filly teleported in from behind her, and SilverShine jumped.
"Hey GoldenGlow!! Stop teleporting out of the blue, you keep scaring me!!" SilverShine screamed, jumping backwards, away from GoldenGlow.
"What? You're just jealous that you're not a unicorn too?" GoldenGlow snickered.
SilverShine stood up proudly, "Of course not!! Even with my lack of magic I'm gonna be the best magician anyones ever seen!! Doesn't matter if I'm the only one in our whole family not to have a horn!!"
"But do you really think that's all it'll take?" GoldenGlow questioned, looking serious. "Well, just don't get your Hopes up okay? I don't want my favourite twin sister getting hurt."
SilverShine smiled toward her, "Heh, I'm your only twin sister!! But don't worry, I promise I won't."
Both SilverShine and GoldenGlow hugged before Silver ran farther into her house.
SilverShine galloped up a staircase, leading toward her and GoldenGlow's shared bedroom.
The room was split half and half, one side was filled with all sorts of golden awards and medals from Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns, and magic competitions. The other side of the room was filled with posters of all different kinds of magicians from around equestria and beyond, and even a Trixie toy figure.
She walked in and towards her bed, she grabbed something from underneath her pillow, it was a deck of cards.
She grabbed the stack of cards and curled both hooves around it. Once she grabbed hold of it, she tried to spread them out to see all of the cards, but her hoof slipped and they all ended up fumbling to the ground.
"Darnet!! I was really hoping that I could do it this time!!" SilverShine groaned in frustration, "I can't even pick up a deck of cards, how could I be a magician?" She thumped onto her bed
Looking over to see her wall filled with posters, her brain flashed with images of all the time spent practicing magic, and all those days she stayed up late watching magic.
"No wait, I can't quit, I've spent too much time on this now to stop!!" She got up from her bed, "I'm never gonna give up as long as I live!!"
SilverShine jumped up with determination, as she went down to the floor to pick up all of her cards that spilled. Once she got them picked up, she sat down and tried to spread them out with her hooves again, and they fell back on the floor.
She knew that if she gave up now, that everything she had done before would've been a waste.
She picked them all up and tried again, and they fell once more. She continued practicing like this for hours and hours on end, waiting for the chance she'll get it right.
