The newly risen sun beamed all over Equestria. The dew on the grass glistened like tiny crystals as the sunlight hit it. The birds Down in the town of Ponyville, only a few ponies were up this early. The market ponies were organising their stalls, insuring everything was ready for the day to come. The town's mail mare was up, walking towards the post office to collect the mail that need to be delivered today. A few of the weather pegasi were clearing the few clouds that were in the sky, making sure that the summer day would be perfect.
All of the ponies up were about doing their jobs, making Ponyville the place they want it to be.
All except one.
In Ponyville library, a grey unicorn with a turquoise and blue mane lay in bed awake. She had not been able to get to sleep at all that night. She lay in bed, looking up at the ceiling, thinking about the events that happened last night. About her strange arrival in Ponyville with her friends. About learning about the powers she never knew she had. About having the best 16th birthday ever. She turned around, saw that the sun was up, and decided not to stay in bed any further.
She walked out of her room, and tiptoed down the stairs quietly, as not to wake up Twilight, or her friend Sophie. Reaching the bottom of the stairs, she looked around the library, smiling. I can't believe I'm actually standing here, the grey mare thought. She started walking towards one of the bookshelves, thinking about perhaps reading up on the history of Equestria, when a voice stopped her in her tracks.
"Good morning, Adara."
Adara turned around to see Twilight sitting in the kitchen, reading a newspaper that she was floating in front of her.
"Morning, Twilight," she walking into the kitchen.
Twilight put the newspaper down and stood up. "Breakfast?"
Adara nodded - as excited as she was, she had never been so hungry before. She walked over to the dining table and sat down. Twilight quickly made a sandwich and gave it to Adara.
Adara moved to pick it up, but then remembered that she didn't have hands - only hooves. She began looking at the food in front of her, wondering if it was rude to eat it right of the plate, when she remembered something. She was a unicorn. She began concentrating on the sandwich, trying to raise it up. She closed her eyes and though of nothing but the sandwich. When she opened her eyes, her sandwich was floating in front of her, surrounded by blue light.
Twilight stared at her, shocked. She had never seen someone master magic so quickly before - it had taken her years to be able to use her magic to make something float, and Adara had done it in less than a day.
"That's amazing," she said, walking over to her.
"What's amazing?" Adara asked, her mouth full of sandwich.
Twilight raised her hoof and pointed to floating food. "I've never seen anyone master magic so quickly. Most unicorns can do simple lifting spells, but not after only having magic a day!"
"Oh." Adara thought about it - normally it took fillies years to be able to use their magic, and she hadn't even had a day. "Maybe I was just lucky. Let's see how Sophie deals with it, then you can decide whether I was quick or not."
Twilight smiled. "How would you like to visit Sweet Apple Acres today?" she asked.
"Would I!" Adara exclaimed, finally dropping the sandwich.
