Twilight was lounging in her bed and was snoozing blissfully. The sunlight was beaming through the open window and creating an orange glow on the bed. She rolled over and yawned. The violet unicorn sat up and looked at her alarm clock. The time read 8:10. Her eyes grew in horror. Oh no... She was late again! She hurredly pushed the duvet off her body and galloped over to the bathroom. She picked up the hairbrush in her magical aura and frantically combed her hair. She set the hairbrush down and levitated her toothbrrush. She squeezed the toothpaste onto her brush and wet it. She raised it to her teeth and started brushing. After a few minutes, she spat out the mixture into the sink and rinsed the sink out. Twilight ran over to her dresser and got out her uniform. She slipped it on and ran downstairs, nearly tripping over her saddlebag.
Her mom was cooking pancakes in the kitchen, her annoying litle brother playing with his game station and her dad reading the paper.
"Mom... why didn't you wake me up?!" Twilight groaned, hurredly packing her bag. "...late again" her dad muttered under his breath while turning the page over. Her mom set down a plate of toast.
" I tried to sweetie.. five times, in fact. But everytime i told you, you said you were getting up." Twilight sighed. She slipped the saddlebags over back and held the toast in her purple magic. She looked at the clock, 8:40. She ran to the door. "Uh, bye mom! Got to go!" She galloped out of the door before she could get a response. ".. I don't understand that girl sometimes." Her mother sighed, before returning back to the housework.
Twilight was panting while hurredly rushing down the street.. " I cant be late again! miss H will kill me!" Twilight glanced over to her right. She saw young boys pulling a cat's tail and laughing. Twilight frowned and walked over to the troublesome boys.
" You boys better leave that cat alone right, now!" Twilight commanded. The young boys looked at twilight and at each other and scurried away. Twilight glanced down at the poor cat and bent down to stroke it. The silver-blue tabby cat was pawing at the bandages on its head. " You want me to take this off?" The cat looked at her with pleading eyes. She shrugged and took the bandage off with her magic. A cresent moon was emblased on the cats forehead. The unicorn thought it looked mysterious. She then remembered she was running late. " I need to get to school!" She quickly got up and started running to class. Boy, was miss Haruna going to be mad..
Twilight sat down in class, she lay her head down and sighed. Ponies from around the classroom were doodling and throwing scrunched up pieces of paper and chatting, not taking any notice of Miss Haruna's mini lecture. She half consciously watched miss H whine on about how algebra was important.
"... And this is why algebra is important and why you will use it in later life. Any questions?" Everyone groaned in response. The bell rang. Twilight sleepily packed her saddlebag, throwing in her pencil case and her book. She glanced over to the new girl. She was quite small and timid. She had a flowing magenta mane and a butter coat. Her cutie mark were 3 butterflies that formed a triangle shape and were of a pink hue. She had kind, bice blue eyes. She was packing her saddlebag, too. Twilight closed her bag and quietly trotted over to the filly.
"Hey, my names Twilight. Must be pretty scary transferring from another school, huh?" Twilight kindly smiled, expecting a response. The timid mare looked at her desk, fumbling with her hooves.
"... H-hi... My names.... fluttershy ..." She shrunk slightly under her desk. Twilight slightly cocked her head. her bright smile slowly faultering, the atmosphere felt very gawky.
" I'm sorry, could you say that again? I didn't quite catch that." Fluttershy looked at twilight with her deep turquoise eyes.
"My names... Fluttershy." Twilight heard her faintly and looked at the filly with affectionate eyes.
"So uhh.... You live a few streets down from me. Wanna walk home?" For a little while, there was silence as Fluttershy pondered the request of walking home with someone else. Normally, she would go down to Sugarcube Corner and get a treat for the way home and look after her bunny, Angel. She supposed a change from her normal routine would be nice. She looked up at Twilight and faintly smiled.
" I'd like that."
The two fillies were walking along the cobbled pathway. They were talking small talk and getting to know each other. Fluttershy talked about her love for animals and how she got her cutie mark while Twilight listened intently. "... So then my three butterflies appeared. I was so happy... I was one of the first in my class to get my cutie mark." She sighed. They stopped as they arrived outside Fluttershy's house.
Twilight walked her to her door and smiled goodbye as Fluttershy smiled back and gently closed the door. Tilight trotted down Mane Street. She felt happy that she had made a friend. She happily trotted up to her front steps and opened her door.
"... An F?! Again?! That's the 3rd time this month! I thought you studied last night with Rain Chaser! " Twilight kicked the floor with he front hoof. She mumbled.
"If by studying you mean staring at me for a full hour." Twilight slumped and her mother eyed her annoyingly.
" I don't want to hear another word coming from your mouth until you think about what you've done. Now go." Her mother turned sharpishly and trotted into the kitchen. Twilight noisily slammed her saddlebags down on the wooden floor and stomped up the steps noisily. She opened her bedroom door and slammed it shut. She turned off her bedroom light and climbed into her bed.
The Birth Of Sailor Magic
Twilight's head was buried into her pillow and her body was sprawled out on the bed, she was weeping quietly. The pillow was muffling her cries and was catching her bitter, salty tears. She could hear her mother coming up the steps. Twilight picked her face up and looked at the door. "Bet shes come to rub my nose in it..." Twilight thought, as she turned around to face her wall. It was decorated with her favourite game hero: Sailor V. She started crying again. " I wish i was as beautiful, as strong and as smart as her. Why do i have to be so dumb and weak?" She whispered, sadness pulsating through her body.
The door to her bedroom opened. Her mother stood at the door and was carrying a tray of food. She slowly placed it on the bed and sat at the end of Twilight's bed and looked at her with compassion. She began stroking Twilight's mane. "Shhh..." She cooed, trying to comfort her wailing daughter. Twilight turned around and looked at her mother and flung her hooves around her waist.
" I 'm sorry mum... I didn't mean to do bad in my tests... i just fail at maths.. I-it's too hard..." She sobbed, burrying her head into he mothers chest and flinging her lavender hooves around her Mother's waist, nearly knocking her dinner over. Her mother smiled slightly and exhaled. She couldn't stay mad at her.
" Oh Twily..." She said with a puff and pulled her off her chest. She sat Twilight up and put her dinner in front of her. She rose off her bed and smiled slightly, " You better eat it up, its starting to go cold." She said as she trotted out of her room before closing the door.
Twilight looked down at her food. It was only then she realised how hungry she really was. She picked up her fork and scooped up some peas on her fork in her magic grip. She made a face of discust, Ugh, how i HATE vegetables..

Twilight was lying on her bed while she listened to the radio, her favourite song came on. She bolted into an upright position and came out of her sleepy trance. She smiled as the welcoming melody of Sapphire Shores flooded her ears. She began to sing, but sounded like a off tune caterwaul.
"Fighting evil by moonlight,
Wining loooove by daylight!"
"Never running from a real fight!"
"She is the one named sailor-"
Twilight's words died in her mouth. She slowly turned toward her door. She was greeted to her annoying little brother filming her number. Her face became a bright red out of embarassment and anger.
"MO-o-M! Bolt's videoing me!!" Twilight screamed, awakening the slumberously quiet house.
Twilight lay motionless in bed, she was staring at the ceiling. It was blank and boring, She exhaled, tring to entertain herself. The lavender unicorn rolled over, glancing over to the glowing red alarm clock. 9:54. She slumped and shoved her head under the covers, as she tried her hardest to sleep. She closd her eyes and slowly began to drift into unconsiousness slumber.
Bang.
Her eyes snapped open and she scurried to remove the covers from her face. She looked over to the patio door with caution. Laying there, on the floor, was the midnight blue cat with a golden cresent on her head. Looking intently toward Twilight, though studying her. The cat got on paws and walked across Twilights' laminate floor making little creaking noises as it went. It jumped on her bed and spoke in a soft tone, with big, aqua eyes.
" Ive been looking for you, Sailor Magic."
