//------------------------------// // The new Alicorn un-princess. // Story: Don't test us. // by Dream Treasure //------------------------------// "Light! Get down here immediately!" Twilight sparkle stomps her hoof upon the wooden floor. "But mooooom" A high filly's voice rings down the stairs. "But nothing! it is time for your magic lesson!" Twilight begins to fly up. "If you don't come down, I will do flying less-" Twilight is cut off by her daughter rushing down the stairs. "No no! Ill do magic!" Light stops abruptly at the bottom of the stairs, her puffy magenta mane hitting her face. "Good. Now Light Shine, Show me your teleportation spell. You know, one day you could be a princess, if you would practice more, but if not, you will always just be an alicorn. or... you know what could happen." Twilight sits her daughter down, looking her in the eyes. "I know, mum. But I don't want to be a princess! I want to just be an alicorn! but... not just one or the other." Light looks down to the ground. "Why did Princess Celestia put so much pressure on me?" "Honey, you know its because one day, Celestia will grow too old, and I will as well. The next princess would be my own apprentice. Unless she picks Aunt Cadence, witch, from what i've heard, shes not. and i don't think Aunt Cadence minds it." Twilight uses her hoof to raise her daughters head. "But, mom. Im only 12! I haven't even found my cutie mark... and you found it when you were only in kinder garden.... " Light Shine tries to look down at the floor in her living room, but her mother holds her head up. "Hon, I want you to be happy, but be a happy alicorn. please, just practice." Twilight relases her daughters head. "Alright, Mom..." ~ "Neeigh!" Light Shine appears in a light ball in the middle of the school house, its walls rumble slightly. "Light!" A young colts voice rings out from the back of the school house. "Oh! Hi, Mist!" Light Shine brushes off the dust from her hooves. "you're able to teleport to school now? Your mom lets you?" Mist Twister runs up, his wings fluttering. "Yeah, My mom made me practice yesterday, she said i got good enough to teleport to school." Light Shine hugs Mist Twister in a happy greeting. "My mom wont even let me fly to school" Mist Twister stomps his hoof on the ground. "Its not fair!" "Really? Fluttershy wont let you fly to school? Why?" Light's face contorts into frown. "She dosent trust me to fly here, even though i can fly just fine!" Mist Twister sighs and sits down in a desk at the front row. Light Shine sits down beside him, in the only other empty seat in the class. "Light? Hey!" A unicorn filly grins in the seat next to Light. "Oh, Hey Crystal!" Light smiles widely at the young filly. "Hi, Mist Twister." Crystal Design leans over her desk to see the colt on the other side of her friend. "Oh! uh.. Hi.. Crystal Design..." Mist Twister stutters, blushing and looking away. "Haha, Mist Twister, you can just call me Crystal, I prefer it." Crystal Design smiles to Mist Twister. Mist Twister Looks down, avoiding her eyes and blushing. "Hey, Crystal, you never answerd my question that I asked a few days ago." Light Shine pokes Crystal. "Remind me again, What was it?" Crystal Design pulls out a book and sits it on her wooden desk. "Why do you talk like your mother, when shes the only one who talks like that." Light Shine pulls out her own book, setting it down on her desk. "Oh, I dont know, I just picked it up, I guess." Crystal Design waves her hoof in the air as an earth pony trots in happily to the small school room. "Hello class! Have you all had a good march break?" She asks, setting down books and folders on her own desk in the front. "Hello, Ms Raspery!" The class collectively smiles. "Alright, if you could all- huh? Where is Flash Bolt?" Raspery looks around the class, all but one seat full. Out of nowhere, a crackle sounds down from the ceiling. All the fillys, Colts and the one mare look up just as a yellow colt falls through the ceiling, his rainbow mane coated in dust and rubble. "Im here! Im here!" Flash Bolt glides over to his seat in the middle row. "hmm..." Raspery looks up to the ceiling, "Ill have to talk to mayor mare about it." She whispers to herself. "As I was saying, students, please take out your books." She walks infront of her desk as all the unicorns and the one alicorn uses their weak magic to pull out their books, Crystal Design's book is already on her desk, as everyone else gets theirs, she opens it to a random page and reads. all the other pegasi and earth ponies pull it out from their desks and bags. "Now... everyone go to page 34 where we left off.." Raspery trots back and forth in the front of the class. Crystal Design groans and slams her book shut with her magic, and re-opens it to the right page. "As you see, the image on page 34 decipts a pegasus, in mid flight, now see how the pegasus's wings are filled with magic, abilitating them to fly. now turn you attention to page 35 where there is a diagram of a unicorn." "Pssst. Light Shine. Here." Crystal Design passes Light Shine a small folded slip of paper. Light Shine holds it on her hoof and sets it on her desk, she quickly uses her magic to open it and read the inside. Messy and rushed hoof writing pain painstakingly coats the paper in red ink. Light Shine, Plese Pleasemeet me after school in the playground. ~Fb
