Shining Sun

A young filly bolted down the staircase of the cottage yelling. She had a pure white coat with her wings, ears and horn tipped in red and had red socks on her hooves. She was also a alicorn and a blank flank. She bolted into a room where a green earth pony mare was sleeping.

''Mother! Mother!''

''Shut up, Shimmer!''

The mare woke up, her green coat darkening gently as she looked at her daughter. Her red mane and sliver eyes gleamed. She half glared at Shimmer who was bouncing up and down.

''What?''

''It's my birthday!!''

''No it's not, your birthday was last year.''

''I guess birthdays are a annual thing? Mother, I'm turning 3 so can I please go outside?''

''You know the rules. You could be harshly punished if you step out of this door.''

''I know, mother....''

''You know I love you very much and don't want you hurt so stay inside.''

''Okay...Mother...''

Lime Light, her mother stood up and walked to the door, turning around once to look at her daughter.

''I'm going to the market to gets some hazels, I'm gonna make hazel nut soup.''

Shimmer nodded and with a frown, walked out of the room and down the hallway till she made it to the cottage's large library which had her bedroom as one of the top parts. She strained her wings to carry herself up so she could look at the higher shelves. Her wings gave out and she landed hard on the ground.

''Ow....Guess I gotta do it the old fashioned way.''

And what she meant by that was a moving ladder that could be moved by somepony pushing it on the ground or the wing power of the pegasus or in Shimmer's cause, a alicorn. She climbed out the ladder and began searching the books with her magic and flapped her wings, making the ladder move.

She came across a book named Princesses of Equestria.  She picked it up in her magical energy and carried it down. She sat on the large rug in the middle of the room and began reading the book.

Long ago,in the magical land of equestria, shortly after the defeat of the chaos god Discord and his daughter, Screwball, lived two regal alicorn sisters. The younger, Princess Luna, used her magic to raise the moon at dusk and the older, Princess Celestia used her magic to raise the sun in the dawn.

Princess Celestia.

A long living princess who is the older one of the kingdom's immortal princesses. She once banished her sister to the moon only to with her again 1000 years later thanks to Princess Twilight Sparkle, her former student and the element of magic, and Twilight's friends.

She soon met Prince Fire Streak and the pair were in pure love with each other and soon it rang clear that they had engaged and they were expected a baby. They married during the pregnancy only to find out the night of the marriage that they were expecting twins.

9 months later, their daughters, Shining Sun and Sunlight. Sunlight was the heir with a red coat that was tipped white in places and she had a flowing deep blue mane but with purple eyes. Shining Sun was a white coated alicorn with tips of red in areas and had a flowing mane of bright pink and blazing orange eyes. Shining was kidnapped on the night of the twins birth and to this day, nopony knows where she is.

Shimmer stopped reading and picked up the book and ran to her arriving mother.

''Mother! Mother!''

''Yes, dear?''

''A-am I the princess, Shining Sun!?''

''No, no your not!'' yelled Lime Light, hitting the young filly in the face.

''M-mother?'' mumbled Shimmer, lifting her hoof to her cheek which was now as red as the red tipped ears.

''Never say your her again! Your my daughter Shimmer, if you don't do what I say then it will only hurt more.''

Her voice sounded like a death threat as she slammed the door behind her, leaving Shimmer alone. Tears began to pour out of Shimmer's eyes and she wailed, not from the physical pain but from emotional pain.
