"Twilight!" Twilight was distracted by a shrill voice coming from outside the library. She snapped her book shut, and rushed to the door. When she opened it, there was Pinkie Pie. Not a surprise. At. All. "Well, turns out I might or might not be an apple, but I would like to continue my research anyways! I bet I've got some cool ponies in my family tree!"
"I'd be glad to let you continue, Pinkie, as long as you can be quiet. I just got my new book! It's the diary of Starswirl the Bearded! Well, that's the title, it's a biography."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going to find out who I'm related to! Let's see... Rocky Cakes, Emerald Stone, Black Snooty, Black Snooty II, Black Snooty III, wow, that's a lot of Black Snooties! Rose Berry, Cherry Bloom, Blinkie Boo, maybe that's who my sister was nam-"
"SHUT UP, PINKIE!"
"Sorry."
Hours passed, and Pinkie looked very bored. "Nopony special yet."
"Don't be upset, Pinkie Pie! You might be related to Applejack anyways!"
"Yeah...but it was smudged anyways..." Twilight didn't answer, and continued to read her book.
Star Swirl went to school early, in fact, he was mentored by Celestia as well, for his gifted magic. When he was only six, he created his first spell, one that could turn an apple into an orange. Twilight didn't realize that the orange spell was created by Starswirl! At age six, too! Twilight her self hadn't even created a spell, unless you counted what she wrote after Starswirl's unfinished one.
"OH MY GOSH! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER! YOU WOULD NEVER BELIEVE HOW GREAT IT IS! IT'S SO GREAT, YOU WOULD BE SUPER JEALOUS!"
"What is it?" Twilight trotted downstairs, where Pinkie was staring at the paper, her jaw hanging wide open.
"I'm...I'm related to..." Pinkie fainted.
