                                                Written by: Blossom Lily.

               As Sunset Shimmer heard the bell ring she knew it was time for school to end. She was happy that school was finally over, because now it was time for her private lesson with Celestia.

            As she walked out of the classroom she heard somepony calling to her. She stoped and turned around to see who wanted her. She saw Moon Dancer.

             "What is it, Moon Dancer?" Shimmer asked looking at the clock. "I've got somewhere to be."

             "I wanted to see if you would come to my birthday party," Moon Dancer said, smiling

             "I don't have time to go to a silly birthday party," Shimmer said in a sneering voice.

             "But you don't even—" Moon Dancer started.

               "I don't care!!!" Shimmer interrupted. "I have better things to do." After Sunset Shimmer was done talking, she turned around and left.

         When Sunset Shimmer entered Celestia's office, she bowed and sat down. When Celestia looked at Shimmer, she had anger in her eyes.

         "Sunset Shimmer," Celestia began, "did you, or did you not, yell at Moon Dancer?"

         "I did," Sunset Shimmer said in a small voice.

         "Why?" asked Celestia, still looking at Shimmer with anger.

          "S-she was asking me to come to her birthday party, and I told her no. I didn't mean to yell at her," Shimmer said, about to cry

         "Whether you meant to or not, you still yelled at her, and you also made her cry." Celestia said, standing up. "As punishment, all of your lessons with me are canceled for this week."

         Shimmer looked up at her in disbelief. "You can't do that!"

         "I'm afraid I can, Shimmer," Celestia said, looking down at her star student. As Celestia said this, Sunset Shimmer stood up, kicked a trash can, and left without another word.

How Celestia do this to me? How could she cancel all of my lessons for such a small thing? Sunset Shimmer thought to herself. As she walked to her room, she bumped into Moon Dancer. When Moon Dancer saw Sunset Shimmer, she got a scared look on her face.

        "H-hi S-Shimmer," Moon Dancer said with a small voice.

        "I didn't know you were a snitch." Sunset Shimmer said, looking at Moon Dancer with evilness in her eyes.

         "I'm not. It wasn't me who told the princess," Moon Dancer said, still looking at Sunset Shimmer with fear.

         "I don't care if it was you or not. You told somepony, who told the princess. So now you must pay." As Shimmer said this, her horn began to glow a li

ght blue. There was a flash of light. After the flash had gone Moon Dancer saw that er lips were stuck together.

         "Mmmmm......" Moon Dancer tried to speak, but she couldn't. She looked up at Sunset Shimmer. I never knew Sunset Shimmer was so mean, Moon Dancer thought to herself.

            "If you tell anypony I did this, you will pay," Sunset Shimmer turned. Then she looked back she said,"I mean it."

          When Shimmer entered her room, she sat down and took out a book. On the front of the book was her cutie mark, and the words Shimmer's diary. As she wrote down what had happened that day she began to wonder if she was powerful or not. I must be powerful if I could do such a difficult spell to stop Moon Dancer from talking, Shimmer thought to herself. then again, most unicorns can perform that spell with ease, yet I still struggled a bit. As Sunset Shimmer thought to herself her eyelids began to fall, and she soon fell asleep.

             As the sun shined through the window it hit Sunset Shimmer in the eyes, which caused her to wake up. Today was a holiday, so Shimmer did not have school, well she still would have had lessons with Celestia, had it not been for Moon Dancer.

             She got up and moved towards the window. Today was going to be a nice day, it was sunny and there was no cloud in the sky. But for some reason Sunset Shimmer felt a weird feeling in her stomach. I'm probably just hungry, thought to her self, as she got a bag of bits for braftest.

            As Shimmer walked down the path she began to notice ponys staring at her in weird way. She chose to ignore them and began to pick up her pace. Why are they staring at me like that? Shimmer asked her self. Finally, when Shimmer couldn't take it any more she began to run. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, she even teleported a few times. When Shimmer couldn't breath anymore, she stop.

           Shimmer decided to ask somepony why they looked at her like that. She decided to ask the brown coat and blue haired unicorn, Blossom. As Shimmer got closer to Blossom, she began to notice Blossom looked scared.

          "Blossom?" Shimmer called as she began to get closer.

           "W-what is it?" Blossom asked in a soft, yet harsh voice.

           "I wanted to know why everypony is looking at me that?" Shimmer pointed to a blue and black unicorn, who was giving her a mean look.

            "You should know." Blossom said in a snudy voice.

             "W-what do you mean?" Shimmer asked, confused.

             Blossom rolled her eyes. "Well, you were the one who yelled at Moon Dancer, and then cursed her."

           Sunset Shimmer was dumb founded. Shimmer was mad at Moon Dancer for telling everypony what she did, but she didn't blam her. Shimmer had been so mean to her. She began to cry. After a few moments she ran as fast as she could.

          When Sunset Shimmer had reached the room she was looking for, when used her magic to pick the lock. When she step through the door she looked at an old dusty mirror. She saw her own reflection. Her face looked run down, and she had black smudges on her face from her running maskara. A few more tears fell from her voice. Shimmer began to step forward.

        "Stop!" Said a high and mighty voice. Shimmer turned and found her self face to face with Celestia.

        "I must go," Shimmer said with a breaking voice. After she had said that she leaped forward and went straight into the mirror. There was a huge flash af light and Sunset Shimmer was gone.

         "N-no," Celestia said running forward. She put her hoof on the mirror, trying to make it go through. But it didn't work. Celestia couldn't take it any more. She had lost a sister, and now her closest friend. She lay down on the cold floor and began crying.
