Princess Skyla

"You attempted what?!" Shining blurted as he healed up his daughters wing with magic.

"A sonic rainboom."

"Honey don't you know how dangerous that is?" Cadence said.

"N-no because I've done it before."

"When?"

"When you and mom were on another royal business trip me and flash were playing out back and I did it."

Cadence turned towards her husband. "So that's what the unscheduled rainbow was."

"Was flash with you when this happened?"

Flash gave nervous glances around the room. "Yes he was!" Skyla almost shouted, giving a big smile.

"I-I was?" Skyla glared at him. "Y-yep I was!"

"Alright but Skyla that was risky I don't want you doing that when nopony is there got it? I mean you could have gotten hurt worse and couldn't get up to get help and then you would be stuck there with nothing to do and nopony could come help because they don't know-"

"Dad! I 'm fine nothing else happened."

"A-alright... So how close did you get to doing it?"

Skyla's frown turned into a smile and her eyes lit up with glee. "I was so close! I nearly made it and I would have if I hadn't made that little mistake. But still! I saw the rainbow start to form and little sparks of lightning sparked around me!"

"Lightning?!"

"Honey relax its not going to hurt her its just energy building up." Cadence assured him.

"Alright well I'm very proud of you sweetie, but I still want you to be more careful got it?" he said just as the spell finished and her wing was as good as new.

Skyla rolled her eyes. "Yes daddy." Skyla opened her wing and gave it a test flap, it felt as if the injury had never been there. "Mom, Dad you should teach me how to do this spell."

"No." They said in unison.

"Oh C'mon! please! why don't you teach me magic."

"Because your not old enough." Cadence responded.

"At the school there are fillies that know WAY more spells than me!" The princess turned from her mom to her dad and gave a smirk. She put on a pouty face and made big eyes. "And if I don't know the right spells and nopony is there to help me what will I do then!? I'll be stranded stuck! and nopony will come help because they don't know what happened! or where I am!"

"C-Cadence maybe she is old enough!" Before Princess Cadence gave her answer Shining was already walking Skyla towards the doors. "Maybe we can start with the healing spell incase you are injured and you cant move."

"Now wait just a second!" Cadence yelled out at them, noticing they didn't hear her, she levitated her daughter back over to her, her husband chasing close behind.

"But Mooooom!"

"No buts!" Cadence thought for a second. "Shining sweetie maybe you should get unpacked I'll meet you there." Shining nodded and walked off. "Ok Skyla maybe I'll teach you."

Skyla's eyes lit up like the sun and started jumping around as soon as she was out of her mothers magical grasp. "YES! YES! YES! THANK YOU MOM!"

'oh my gosh she looks just like twilight when she was a filly... its almost scary!' she thought then smirked. And left not before saying, "Next year!" with that she left to unpack. just before she disappeared out of earshot she heard a disapproving groan from the once jumping filly. She giggled.

"Skyla its not the end of the world at least you can fly again." Flash said stepping away from the wall he was watching from.

"Yea sure." Skyla mumbled as she headed off further into the castle.

"Hey were you going?" The royal guard called after her.

"To my room, I have something to do." She mumbled barley audible for the confused pony to hear.

"What just happened?"

***

Skyla slammed the door shut waking the once sleeping breazle. She groaned as she flopped onto her bed.

"What is it now?" Breazle mumbled wiping the sleep from his eyes. Skyla didn't answer she just laid here with her face digging into her pillow. He heard a harsh mumble that was muffled by the pillow. "I cant hear you." This time it was louder but still not clear. "Skyla your pillow is preventing me from hearing you!" He yelled as he jumped onto her bed.

"I wanf to wern magiph" Skyla said practically yelling in the pillow.

"Skyla!" Breazle got stern. "I know what this leads to I ask one final time you actually listen and start throwing a fit." He sighed. "But your not going to do that because your a big pony, right?"

Skyla lifted her head, looked at breazle, and dropped it back down. "I donwanna be bwig pophy."

Breazle slightly laughed and shook his head. "SKYLA ATTENTION!"

Skyla rolled over so she was no longer in the pillow. "Ugh not this!" The sound of her closet door opening made her get up. "Ok! Ok! I'm sorry! what do you want to know?"

"I want to know why you are upset. I'm here to help you!"

Skyla lifted the pillow and put it on her face. "I wanf two wern magiph!" She heard one of her drawers open then another one. "OK! OK! FINE!" she said putting the pillow down.

"Tell me!" She was about to pull the pillow up again. "WITHOUT THE PILLOW!" She groaned.

"I want to learn magic but NO mom and dad don't think I'm old enough but the other foals know WAY more magic than I do!"

"Why does this bug you?"

"DO YOU KNOW ME?!" Breazle typed in a number and a slot opened revealing a cookie jar. "UGH! ok, ok." She sighed. "You know that I want to try magic and hearing from aunt twilights letters she LOVES magic and I heard that magic is better than wings because it can do much more, you can even fly with magic!"

"Skyla you and me both know that's the levitation spell, you and I ALSO know you already know that spell."

"So! I can fly already! and I told you not to mention it, what if mom and dad were at the door!"

"Alright I'm sorry. So now that I know what's going on." He quickly opened the jar and swiped a cookie from inside and stuffed half of it in his mouth.

"HEY! I YOU SAID YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON!" Skyla whined.

"Hey you woke me up!"

"Ugh fine." She huffed. "Breazle? would you do ANYTHING for me?"

"Depends on what it is."

"Going to the library and getting me a book on magic because you love me so much!"

"Y'know Skyla? I don't know because me and the librarian we aren't really on the same page right now.. She kind of banned me for a month because we had a big argument on how many books I can take home, and how long I can keep them for."

"You can use me card."

"I mean REALLY banned for a month I cant even step in there without her reminding me." Breazle really hated lying to her but he does what needs to be done.

"Oh.. ok." Skyla got up and started packing stuff as if going to a sleepover.

"Where are you going?"

"Ponyville."

"What!? Why!?"

"Aunt Twilight is there surly she could help me learn magic. I mean why wouldn't she, she is the element of magic." She put a pillow and blanket in the saddle bag making it big.

"I don't think you should go Skyla."

"Oh C'mon breazle PLEASE?! I want to learn magic! I'm probably the ONLY filly here that doesn't know magic!"

"If you go I'm going to tell your parents."

"Ugh! fine." Skyla put her saddle bag full of stuff away and once she went back to her bed the door slowly opened.

"Knockidy Knockidy."

"Hey flash." Skyla grumbled.

"Hey cheer up or do I have to force you to be happy?" He held up his hooves as if to attack her.

"Nope not going to work." That was it Skyla burst out laughing when flash started tickling her. "FLASH!! HAHA!! S-STOP! HEHEHE! I'M G-GONNA-"

"gonna what? tell on me?"

"HAHAHA Y-YEA!"

"Nope you cant tell on me I'll just tickle you more."

"F-FINE HAHA! I GIVE! I GIVE!" Flash stopped tickling and watched as his opponent gasped for breath.

"Good because somepony came to see you."

"What? Who?"

~*~

Skyla opened the door to reveal. Blue Ivy and Creamsicle. "Hey guys!"

"Skyla? what happened? you looked like you just got out of bed." Creamsicle asked. Skyla followed her gaze and found the target was her mane.

"O-oh I just umm.. come on in."

"Ok." they both said in unison. They walked in and Skyla brought them up to her room where she immediately went to the mirror to fix her mane.

"So what brings you guys here?"

"Blue Ivy said you hurt your wing trying to do a sonic rainboom so I thought we could come check on you." The colt nodded and looked at her wing.

"Oh is it better now?" He asked.

"Y-yea my mom and dad are home now and my dad fixed it with a healing spell."

"Why couldn't you do that?" The filly asked.

"Because I don't know how to do magic.." Skyla finished fixing her mane and went to join the others.

"O-oh I'm sorry Skyla I just figured.."

"I know its alright mom and dad just don't care to teach me they say I'm not 'old enough'."

"Oh sorry Sky."

"What did you call me?"

"Uhh.. sorry am I allowed to call you Sky? its uh.. short for Skyla." The princess smiled and nodded. "Phew ok hehe.."

"Hey uh guys? were friends right? We can keep each others secrets?" they nodded. "Ok could you help me get class work for maybe the next week?"

"Uh why?" Blue Ivy asked.

"Because I'm going to be in ponyville."

"Ponyville? that sounds like FUN!" Creamsicle exclaimed. "But why cant your parents do it?"

"Because they don't know I'm going.."

"WHAT?!" They blurted out in unison.

"Yes I'm going to go see my Aunt Twilight in ponyville." Skyla said, she grabbed her saddle bag which she had thrown behind her door. "I've got all the things I need. Stuff to entertain myself, Stuff for sleep, and extra stuff like little snack stuff incase I get snacky."

"I don't know Skyla it sounds dangerous going alone." Blue Ivy gave her an almost pleading look.

"Yea not only does it sounds dangerous but it also sounds fun! and you could use help if something goes wrong. You know what now that I think of it how about I go with you!" Creamsicle said. It was obvious to all of them she wanted to go more than anything.

"We." Ivy added in. "She means we should come. That's not a problem is it?"

"N-no I guess not... it would sound fun to bond with friends on a trip." She sounded unsure but the more she thought of it the more fun it sounded to go with friends than go alone. "Y-yea you guys can come with! Plus I think Aunt Twilight would be really happy to see that I made new friends!"

"Isn't she like... the Princess of friendship?" Creamsicle questioned.

"Yea that's why she would be super happy!"

"Alright lets talk info. we all know our parents wont let us go.. when are we leaving and what's the excuse?" They all leaned in a talked looking like a football team ready to play.

"Blue Ivy and me will say that were at Creamsicle's house and Cremasicle, you can say that you went to Blue Ivy's. Deal?"

"Yep."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Alright meet me here 10 till midnight. but don't come to the castle, be ready and meet me at the station." The all nodded but jumped as a knock came from the door.

"Skyla sweetie?" Cadence peeked her head into the room. "Time for dinner tell your friends they have to go home."

"Alright mom." Skyla nodded and they left. "Mom?"

"Yea?"

"Could I stay the night at Creamsicle's? Please!"

"I don't know honey she seams nice and all but-"

"PLEASE!!! I don't want to have my first sleepover when I'm a grown mare!"

"But that's what your Aunt Twi-"

"And she had to read a book to know what to do!"

Cadence let out a long heavy sigh. "Fine."

"Can it be a week long?"

"What?! a week long?!" The Princess gasped at how long her daughter wanted to stay.

"Please mom it will be very bonding for me and my friends.

"Fine!"

"YES! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!"

"Alright lets go have dinner. Then we'll tell your dad. Then I'll try to calm him done after you leave."

"Yes! thanks mom!"
