Enchanted Hue sighed and closed the book she had been reading on magic. She wasn't a unicorn, but she desperately wished she was. Since she had started school she had watched all the unicorn gals drool over the unicorn guys. She was so jealous, she wished that the unicorns would invite her to a slumber party or just to hang out after school. Some earth-ponies and pegasi got invited sometimes, but only if they were rich or dressed like it every day. Hue wasn't really into that kinda stuff, makeup and all that jazz. She only wore a bit of eyeliner so that she looked feminine with her short hair of different shades of blue. She knew there had to be some reason she was so interested in magic, despite not being able to use it. I mean, magic was in her name wasn't it? Enchanted Hue, that was her, the earth-pony outcast that read books to learn skills she would never be able to use... 
and yet, what if there was a way?

Hue's ears perked up in excitement. She had gotten the best idea ever, she knew an alicorn personally, a pony with more power than you could imagine. Not just any alicorn, in fact, but Princess Twilight, the princess who had gotten her cutie mark in magic and who had been taught personally by Princess Celestia! This was perfect!! She jumped up, grabbed her book and ran for Twilight's crystal castle. If Twilight couldn't help her with this, then nopony could.

"And so you see, that is why...is why..." Twilight growled, she always messed up that part. Princess Luna had asked her to do a speech about the beauty of night to some young fillies and colts, but her speaking skills were, not quite proficient. She was so caught up in her practice that she didn't hear the clipping of hooves running down the hall. She only noticed after the doors to the throne room burst open, revealing a very out of breath Enchanted Hue. She jumped a bit, but quickly recovered and ran over to see what was the matter. 
"Enchanted Hue? What is it? Is there something attacking Ponyville?!" she realized she hadn't even given her time to catch her breath, so she waited patiently. Then finally, Enchanted Hue was able to reply.
"Can you...turn me in-into a unico-UNICORN?" Twilight was taken aback.
"Excuse me?"
"Do you know how?"
"Well, I might be able to find out how-" she started
"Really?!" Hue asked, her face lighting up.
"Well, yes, but it would be very risky and probably illegal." Hue's smile faded.
"Oh," She started to leave, "thanks anyway Twilight."

Twilight tapped a hoof to her chin, 
"Was there a specific reason you wanted to be a unicorn?" Twilight asked, making the small mare turn back around.
"Well, I've always loved magic, how it was magic, but there was a science behind it too. Since I've been a little filly I've been captivated by magic, but I've never been able to use it." She said, smiling a bit. "I just thought maybe you were powerful enough to help me make my dream come true...but I guess we all have our limits, huh?" Hue sighed, her light blue ears folding back. "I guess I'll see you in a couple days for studies." she said, turning to leave once more. 
"Hue, wait! I can't help you, but I think the Princess can! Spike?" she called, the little dragon appearing next to her, he never wanted Twilight to be disappointed in her "Number One Assistant". 
"Yes ma'am!" he stated, saluting her.
"I need you to send a letter to the Princess, I have a favor to ask of her," she smiled looking at Enchanted Hue, who looked hopeful but confused. But she trusted Twilight, and would later thank her for sending that letter...
