I can't magic

Me:

I grumbled at the piercing sunlight that seemingly decided to slice through my blind curtains. I rolled over to get out of the sunlight but just managed a yelp as I rolled out of my left-hoof side of the bed. I groaned and lifted my head. Well, grand-auntie decided to wake me up early today with a extra bright sun. I opened my curtain and winced before walking toward my bathroom next to me. I was the granddaughter of Princess Luna. She had only one child, my mother, so the fact I was a alicorn was thrilling to her. My mother lives in Canterlot by the name of Moonlit Lake. She was pure white and had a deep blue mane. Even though I was an alicorn, my mother was a unicorn and had to put me in flight lessons. It took me a while to convince her to allow me to go to flight lessons even though the instructor was a noble and she was practically begging my mom to allow me to come to the lessons and learn to fly. She finally let me go after I said that I would get a A+ on my final exam in elementary. I just used a spell to absorb the info in the books so I would pass and I pretty much didn't need to study for any exam because of that. I used to be good at magic but... sadly I kinda forgot how to use my horn. But I still have a place due the royal treasury and the fact I was old enough, but just barely.

I grabbed the shower curtain and opened it, breaking my thoughts. I pressed a button the wall of my bath tub and it filled with water from the little jet steams on the side. I added a fancy bubble bath solution and poured a good amount it the tub before hopping in and lathering it in my coat and mane. I sunk down in the large tub so only my head was visible. My mane flowed around in the water next to me and it looked like my grandma's mane, but lighter, because of the stars in it. After thoroughly lathering and soaking myself I emptied the tub and turned on the shower head. I rinsed my self clean before turning off the head and turning on the blow dryer which dried me in a matter of seconds. I got out, primed my self and did my daily bathroom-routine. I left the bathroom and went to my balcony and took off towards Haybail, my favorite fast-food restaurant. I went inside and order my favorite.

"#15, please." I chirped happily.

"Yes, large?" The golden coated, orange haired asked happily.

"Yes ma'am. Large with a strawberry shake."

"That'll be 7.50, princess." I handed Sunrise, the cashier, the 7.50 as I added,

"Please, call me Sky." She handed me my large potato fries, shake, and a daisy and daffodil sandwich in a small paper bag. "Have a nice day!" I added before grabbing the food bag in my mouth. I trotted to a table nearby before I spotted Princess Twilight digging into her sandwich head first. Wow, she may be a princess but she sure is messy. I trotted up to the princess and put my bag to the floor.

"Hello Princess Twilight. May I join you?" I asked. She looked up at me with ketchup smeared over her muzzle.

"Sure, Princess Starlit Skies, but I told you, please don't call me princess. You're my friend." I could only sigh at this.

"Only if you call me Sky."

"Fine, Skylee." I could only shake my head in amusement at her nickname.

"Good enough," I chuckled. I picked up my bag again in my mouth and put it on the table before sitting on the hay bale seat.

"I don't get why you prefer potato fries over hay fries, and you don't use your magic." Twilight muttered around the half-chewed

hay-fries in her mouth. I sunk down in my seat in embarrassment. "What?" she murmured through another bite. My ears splayed back before I spoke.

"I don't know how to use my magic..." I mumbled.

"You what?" She asked leaning forward with her ear pricked

"I don't know how to use my magic..."

"What?!" She shrieked suddenly, losing all the food in her mouth and catching all of the other 3 costumers' and 6 employees' attention. "Impossible! A full grown unicorn should know how to use their own horn!" She implied loudly, stomping her hoof on the table for empathy. I wished this hay bale would swallow me whole as I sunk deeper under the table. "Would you like to take this back to my castle?" she asked realizing my discomfort at the fact that everypony knew my secret now because one of the customers was a pony of the press, Equestria Daily, and was jotting down something on a small notepad.

"Yes, please." I whimpered. I was quite young compared to Prin- Twilight. She held a hoof to me and I got up. She grabbed our food and we flew back to her castle. Once inside we sat at the fairly tiny square dining table in Twilight's living room.

"Ok, so now that's out of the way.." She began uncomfortably before regaining her confidence, "Explain to me why you 'can't magic'."

"Well, when I was little, I used to be great at magic. But later on I stopped using magic for a month, or so, and I just kinda forgot. I don't know why." I started in a normal voice, but it just got quieter as I continued. "Can you teach me how...? to, you know, magic." She seemed taken aback by my question.

"Of course! How about we start tomorrow? In my library, on the far left of my castle?"

"O-ok! That would be great! Thank you!"
