Chapter One

It was a nice summer day in Canterlot. While most of the 13 year-olds were outside with friends, sense it was Summer Break after all, Twilight preferred to stay in her private suite on the castle grounds where nopony could bother her while she was studying. Her assistant in training, Spike, was taking his mid-afternoon nap as she read over some of her school books for the 3rd time sense school ended, which was about two weeks ago, when there was a knock on the door. Twilight sighed as she got up from her desk and opened the door. "Hello, my most faithful student!" Twilight's private mentor, Princess Celestia, beamed as  Twilight opened the door.

"Oh, Hello Princess! Please, come in." Twilight greeted with a smile as the majestic tall white alicorn with her flowing mane slowly walked into Twilight's suite. Twilight sat on her small couch while Celestia sat on the larger one. "So, why did you pay me visit, Princess?" Twilight asked her mentor who was looking around her suite as if she had never seen it before.

"Well I was wondering if you were at home." The princess said bluntly as if her reason was obvious.

Twilight smiled awkwardly as she messed with her bangs, "Well... where else would I be?"

The princess shrugged unsurely, "Well, I don't know! Out with friends...um, on a date with some colt, at least at home with family!" Twilight sighed as she thought of doing all those things.

"But all those activities sound...well, noneducational, and quite ignorant too."

Celestia stood up and gave Twilight an irritated look, "Well Twilight. I don't know what's wrong with you! You need to do something with other ponies. I can't just make time to have tea with you." The princess said as she headed over to front door.

"Well what do you want me to do princess? Does it count if I go out with Spike?" Twilight asked her mentor as she followed the white alicorn.

"No! I want you to go out and do something. Make friends, go on a date, get drunk! I don't care! You can go get pregnant for pony's sake! Just go out! And if I catch you in the room in two hours or even in the local library, so help me Twilight Sparkle, I will hurt you!" The princess said before she walked out and slammed the door behind her.

Twilight sighed once more as the sound of hoofsteps went down the long winding steps of the tower in which she stayed in. The purple unicorn walked back over to her desk and pushed her books aside. She then pulled out a piece of paper along with a quill and ink. She used her magic to write a quick note to Spike:

Dear Spike,

For the rest of the day I will be out on the town. (Princess' orders) I might be out for I while. So for the time that I'm gone do your chores and then you can go out too.

               Yours Truly, Twilight Sparkle

Twilight then folded up the note and put it in an envelope which she sealed and wrote Spike on the front. Twilight headed for the bathroom so she could brush her indigo, violet, and fuchsia mane with her bangs in a perfect rectangular shape the rest of her mane which was also in a rectangular shape. Twilight turned to look at her tail which looked fine. Before Twilight left she filled her saddle bag with some bits and a couple a legends to read if she doesn't meet any friends. "I guess I'm all set." Twilight whispered to herself as she headed out the door and into the city.
