Rejected

Trixie tried to lift the heavy spell book in her magic as she sweated and grunted. The book suddenly fell to the ground. She let out a sigh of disappointment as she tried again. The same thing happened. She heard a knock on the door as her older sister trotted in.

"Watchadoin?" She asked.

"Trying to lift my book" she replied as she dug her head deep in her pillow.

Her sister laughed "you'll lift it someday" she promised.

Trixie moaned "but Star Shine, your so awesome at magic and you went to Celestia's school of gifted unicorns!" She complained.

Star Shine giggled "not better than dad used to be!" She exclaimed.

Trixie sat up, erect "That's it!" She said loudly.

"What's it?" Asked Star shine confused.

"I can ask Daddy to teach me magic!!!" She yelled as she jumped up and down on her bed.

Star Shine laughed "are you ready for school?" She asked.

Trixie instantly stopped jumping as she nodded her head no and quickly with her magic, put on her starred cape and hat that had once been her mother's. It was too big for her but she'd eventually grow into it. She levatated the comb with her magic and quickly combed her hair. "Ready!" She yelled as she smiled at Star Shine.

Star Shine laughed "come on! We gotta go get some breakfast!" She said as the two sisters raced down the stairs only to find their little brother there with their dad feeding him cereal. Their mother was in the kitchen making pancakes.

Trixie licked her lips as she breathed in the warm smell of soft, fluffy pancakes.

"Hi mom! Hi dad! Hi Skyster!" Said Star Shine as she addressed her parents and baby brother. She took a seat next to her father. Trixie sat next to Star Shine.

"Dad can you teach me magic tricks?" She asked quickly. Her father froze as he looked up at her slowly.

"No Trixie... Magic is harmful!" He established as he resumed feeding the foal.

Her mother who was washing the dishes looked up at her sternly. Her parents didn't like magic anymore because magic had killed half their family. Aunts, uncles, cousins half of the family! Trixie looked down and sighed. Her parents used to teach her magic when she was just a foal. But when one of her cousins grew up to murder the family, only them and some other relatives had been able to escape. The others had not been so lucky as the dark unicorn killed them with his magic. Ever sense then they were not allowed to use magic, but Trixie and Star Shine secretly practiced it.

Her mother gave her the pancakes and a glass of milk. Now, with this they were allowed to use magic but only to drink or eat. Trixie levatated the glass as she brought it to her lips and sipped some fresh milk. She put the glass down as she devoured the fluffy, light, delicious pancakes that had extra syrup, butter and whipped cream. She savored every last bite as she chugged down her milk and wiped off the milk mustaches that she had on herself.

"I'm done!" Exlaimed Trixie and Star Shine at the same time wich only made them giggle at each other.

"Allright, you two..off to school!" Said their father as he escorted them to the door. Trixie pulled on her small pink and blue saddle bag as Star Shine pulled on her large, purple and orange one. The two of them galloped through the sunny, warm day as they reached the schoolhouse.

"Bye Trixie!" Yelled Star Shine as she kept on galloping to the middle school.

"Bye Star Shine!" She yelled as she entered the small room. It was packed with fillies. She looked for her friend: Sunset Shimmer and Gilda. She instantly spotted her griffin friend as she trotted over to her. She was talking to a cyan colored pegasus with a rainbow mane.

"Hi Gilda!"she half shouted.

Gilda turned around "oh hey Trixie! This is my new friend: Rainbow Dash!" She said aa she nodded hee head over to Rainbow Dash.

"What's up?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Bye Rainbow!" Said Gilda as she went over to Trixie.

"Bye Gilda!" Said Rainbow Dash as she turned around to talk to a yellow pegasus with a light pink mane and butterfly cutie mark.

"So, how's Skyster doin'?" Asked Gilda as she cocked her head to one side.

"He's doing fine" said Trixie as she lifted her hat from her face.

"Allright, class it's time to begin!" Announced Miss Cheerlie as she entered the room cheerfully.

Trixie felt some pony kick the back of her chair. She turned around. It was Upper Crust with a mean smile.

"What gives?" She asked quickly in a whisper.

"Trixie! Please pay attention!" She heard Miss Cheerlie's voice from the front of the classroom.

Upper Crust snickered as she kicked the back of her seat once more, this time harder.

"Oh boy" said Trixie under her breath.
