My eyes lazily opened to the soft sunlight that stretched over the entire bed. Sitting up and looking out of the window I saw a double rainbow gracefully stream across the sky. Innocently and childlike, I thought of drawing the rainbow. Quickly hopping out of bed, I joyously trotted down the tall crystal hall to my mama's and papa’s bedroom. Running and hopping onto the bed, I looked up to my mom and I said “Mommy! Mommy! Can I have some paper?”. I waited for an answer, “Sure sweety, just give me a quick second”.
She slowly got off her bed and I watched her trot out of the room, and came back with paper hovering in a transparent aurora of blue. Her horn was glowing the same color as the aurora, and she plopped the sheets of paper onto my hoof, and I quickly went back into my room. I went to my window to check if the rainbow was still there, and sure enough, it was. I tried drawing it for what seemed like fifteen minutes, but it slowly faded away as I tried harder and harder.
I never thought drawing a picture of a rainbow would be so hard. After I think my 11th try, my mother said it was time for lunch and put me in a high chair with a special tray on it. She tied what she called a “bib” around my neck and made me eat broccoli with some small apple slices. She also gave me a sippy cup full of milk. I took a sip, and for some odd reason I felt sleepy, and slowly dozed off in a wave of pure warmth.

On my 5th birthday, my mother took me to school. It was my first day, and I didn’t like the idea of sitting at a desk and watching a pony lazily trot across the room for seven hours. After two hours of her explaining how to add numbers, I found myself lonely at a small table in the back of the classroom. Luckily, I had brought a rose colored journal that my mom gave me for my birthday. I searched around the classroom for something good to draw and found a group of ponies coloring black and white pictures.
Thats when I noticed the teacher writing random symbols on a drawing board. It caught my eye and I began writing. Towards the end of the day, I nervously trotted towards the teacher, and gently plopped it on her desk.
She raised an eyebrow, and looked at the picture.
“What do you think of it?”
“...”
She slowly looked up, and her mouth was twitching. At first I couldn’t tell if she was happy, or mad, but after what seemed like two minutes, her faced popped into a really bright smile. She looked at me and exclaimed,
“Wow! Thats the best drawing i’ve ever seen a filly make! The shading and design looks amazing! You actually made this?!”
Suddenly a whole bunch of fillies were staring at me like I had come from the moon and I couldn’t tell what they were about to do. They all shouted “HOORAY!” and galloped towards me to ask me if they could have a picture. It was probably one of the most exciting moments of my life.

Over the weekend, my mother said she was going to introduce me to some of her friends in Ponyville, but the only problem was that dad had to remain at the Crystal Empire and host the upcoming yearly Crystal Fair that keeps the Crystal Empire safe from danger. On our way to Ponyville, she said we were going to have to take a “special” train that was supposed to be extra secure from any interruptions. When we entered the train, it only took me a moment to realize the walls and floors were made of pure crystal. I found myself wondering,
“How does this train even move if it weighs so much?!”
“I have no idea.” Cadence responded
A loud painful whistle blew loud violently pulling me out of my slumber. Looking up at my mom, I heard her softly speak into my ear,
“We are arriving at Ponyville.”
The train came to a painfully fast halt. My mother and I stood up and walked across the slick polished crystal floor to the grand lavish door that led outside. Nervous and scared of what lay ahead and holding tight to my mother, we pushed our way out into the glorious sultry sun. Blinded for a few seconds, I waited for my eyes to readjust. When I could see again, I looked out and saw two royal guards and a lavender pony with straight violet and rose colored hair. “That’s Twilight Sparkle” my mother whispered quickly to me “She’s a princess like me.”
“Hello Princess Cadence!”
