	The next morning, I was up early. I put on the best blue dress I could find. The one Rarity made for me. Rarity said it didn't turn out as she hoped. She didn't have the right materials for making a dress but to sew this good by hoof? Rarity had some serious talent. I brushed out my mane and coat, put on my purple glasses and went downstairs for some breakfast. My mom and dad were already up making breakfast.
"Good morning!" I say as I make my way over to the table.
"Hi Honey! How was your day yesterday? I didn't see you come in last night and you didn't come to dinner. Did you have another big study session?"
"Um.. Yes!" I lied. "I ..uh.. was fascinated by the..uh.... faction history! ya, so I looked at a few books and t happened again!" I smiled a big grin. I'm glad my mom or dad didn't come from Candor, otherwise I would be busted. My mom levitated breakfast over to the table.
"Oh my, Twilight!" I looked up at my mom, terrified as ever. Did I say something that I shouldn't have? Did I accidently press the Erudite symbol? "Where did you get those glasses? Did Rarity make them? She did a great job! I thought she had talent but I didn't know she had this much talent!" My mom exclaimed while levitating my glasses off my face. I was going to resist, but that would cause more trouble.
"Uh.. yeah! Rarity uh... wanted to give us something to remember us by! Uh.. something that we'd never take off! ya" I responded.
"Don't these glasses look wonderful?" My mom asked my dad as she levitated my glasses over to him. My dad looked up from his tablet, his eyes widened.
"Wow! Rarity really out did herself this time! but I must ask, why is their a magenta star and why s it elevated?" I was just about to answer when my dad pressed the button with his magic. I closed my eyes, waiting for a scream or something, but it never came. I opened my eyes. 'Welcome Twilight Sparkle' I heard. I looked over at my parents. The screen with the bars on it popped up, but they weren't looking at it, almost like it.........wasn't...there. That's weird. All my friends could see the screen and I could see them too. Maybe it has something t do with being an Element of Harmony. I'll have to check once I get my glasses back. 
"Twilight, are you alright?" I blinked a few times and looked up. My mom was levitating my glasses in front of me, looking confused.
"Hm? Oh, yes. I was just.... thinking a little bit. heh heh" I replied. I'm really bad at lying. Rainbow tried to teach us, but it was no use. Rainbow was the best liar out of all of us but even she was bad. I guess it's good that she is going back to Dauntless. If what she said was true, she is going to need to lie a lot. None of us were very good at it, and Applejack was the worst at it. I guess that explains she being the Element of Honesty, sorta. How are we going to lie about this when we are all bad liars? Luckily, my mom and dad weren't looking at me so they couldn't see the big goofy grin that was on my face. 
I slid the glasses back on my face with my magic. I pressed the magenta star. 'Welcome Twilight Sparkle' I heard. I pressed the scan button and turned toward my mom, who was siting down now. I walked over toward the table and sat down. it would be a little weird if I was standing up. 'Scanning Complete' the voice said. 'Erudite' Ok. This is good to know. I turn toward my dad. I just hope they don't notice me. It would be hard to explain this. I already ran out of ideas for excuses! 'Scanning complete: Erudite'. Ok, so maybe if you aren't an Element of Harmony, then you can't see the screen. I'll have to tell the others before the ceremony.
