          It was Wednesday after noon when all if the sudden, "CRASH!" I ran into my room to find Skyla,my little sister, standing where my computer used to be! I looked down to find my computer,smashed to pieces. When I saw it,I yelled so loud that my father could hear it,and he was all the way down the street,helping one of the neighborhood pegasi with the fencing around his house. 

Skyla,pulling the "I'm sorry I didn't mean to" act, said, "I'm sorry. I saw  something shiny on the table and I wanted to get it." 
I said in fury," Well the only thing shiny on my desk is my pen,which you broke in half!" I started my magic when my father,Shining Armor, came in and grabbed Skyla like she didn't do anything at all! 

"Chrisy calm down. I'm sure it was just an accident",said my father. I rolled my eyes and walked into the living room,where my sister Soleil,was watching her favorite show. I went into the kitchen,got me a soda and walked into the living room.

I sat down beside Soleil, took a sip of my soda,and changed the channel. I turned on "The misadventures of Flapjack" and sat there watching the show when my mother,Cadence walked in from work. 

I said,"Hey mom. Whats up?"
My mom replied,"Your father called me at work. What happened this time?" 
"Nothing. I think Skyla just,um......wanted you home! Ya that's what happened. Skyla just wanted you!" I gave her a cheesy smile and she raised her eyebrow at me,turned around and went down the hallway into my room. I quickly followed her,only to find her standing in front of my computer with her mouth wide open. 

She quickly turned around to face me and said,"Skyla wanted me home eh? Chrystalanias tell me the truth. Did you break your computer during a rage quit again?" 
I sighed and then replied,"It wasn't a rage quit. Skyla knocked my computer of the desk trying to get to my sparkly pen. I'm telling the truth. And what do you mean by, 'again'?" My mother rolled her eyes,laughed,and then showed me using her magic when I broke my computer during a rage quit. I counted 5 times. 

My mom said,"This is the last time I'm buying you a new computer. I believe you but I'm sure it was just an accident. Skyla's only a foal,you know. She doesn't do things on purpose."

I sighed and trotted into the living room,only to find my soda empty! I looked to see if Soleil was still there,which she wasn't. I went to her room,knocked on her door,and heard her say,"Come in." 
When I went in her room,  I said,"Did you drink my soda? Its OK if you did. But did you?" 

She said,"Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't. Why do you care anyway? It's just a soda." 
I replied,annoyed at what she said,"I don't care! I was just asking if you drank my soda! You know you don't have to be rude about it." I started to see her coat turn black,and sighed,"Not again". Next thing I knew, my sister Soleil had turned into Shadow,her alternate personality that she turns into when she gets mad or annoyed. 
Shadow said,"Yes I did drink your soda. And it was DELICIOUS! And if you've got a problem with it,just deal with it." I shot a magic blast at her,pinning her to the ground. My father heard the blast,sighed,and walked into Soleil's room,only to find me about to punch her. He quickly broke up the fight,turned to Shadow,and helped her calm down. I started to see her coat turn back into its regular color,and sighed with happiness..
