Twilight awoke the next morning knowing the fact that she needed to pack her, Spike, and Shooting Star's bags because they were going to Canterlot today. Not to mention Shadow was going to be there with them. When she went to check her mail, she found about five letters at the front door that were to Princess Celestia from Shadow.
“Oh, horseapples! Spike wake up, I need you to send these to Princess Celestia now!” Twilight yelled, sprinting up the library stairs. “And after you do that, I’ll pack our bags for Canterlot.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few hours later Star woke up and Twilight was shocked that he didn’t wake up screaming like a banshee.
“Well I guess Rarity was right. Those colors are soothing.” She then heard the toilet flush and Star’s bedroom door shut. “Wow, just like Spike.” She muttered to herself. A few moments later she heard gentle snores coming from his room. She looked at the clock and realized it was 3:00am.
“Well I do have a lot to do, so he will be fine or maybe not. I’m just going to have to wait and see.” 4:30 rolled around and Twilight heard Star screaming his head off. Twilight rushed to his side, picking him up in her forehooves, rocking him back and forth.
“It’s ok, nopony will hurt you.” Seeing his horn was starting to glow, Twilight continued trying to console him. “Star, it’s ok, we’re going to see your mom today.” Star started to perk up and his horn’s light died down, and he started to smile.
Twilight sang a lullaby that Fluttershy would sing to him when he stayed with her. After Star had finally fallen asleep, she laid him back down gently. Twilight noticed the necklace in his dresser ,sitting next to the picture of his mother. Twilight tiphooved out of his room and said to herself “Wow that was a lot easier than normal. This one might not have been as bad but still it almost caused a magical discharge.”

The whole train ride to Canterlot, Shooting Star couldn’t help but be hyper and jumping around. Twilight smiled at him and said “Now calm down Star. You don’t want to get hurt. Star heard her and turned to look, and fell and scraped his knee. Twilight quickly ran to his side and picked him up asking “Are you ok?” as she pulled out a first aid kit Fluttershy made for her. She pulled out some disinfectant and a band-aid, sprayed his scrape and bandaged it. A few minutes later they arrived at Canterlot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The trio arrived at the Castle and were welcomed by no other then Celestia herself. Star ran up to her and jumped into her arms and said “mommy I missed you!” Celestia smiled and said “I missed you too, my little Star.” She returned the hug and threw him up on her back, knowing that she hadn’t given him a ponyback ride in a long time. Star smiled and said “I love you mommy.” Celestia said I love you too, my little Star.” Now let’s get something to eat. The cooks have made all your
favorites, and also I have a surprise for you when you take a nap, Star.”
“Really?! I can’t wait!” Star said with a smile that would make Pinkie jealous.
“Let’s go eat” Celestia said, nosing towards the dining areas.
“OK, mommy. Aunt Twilight, are you coming?” Star asked.
Twilight responded softly “No. I need to go get something for me, you and Shadow to do today.”As she trotted off in the opposite direction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Mommy,” Star said, the fear in his voice making itself known. “I had a bad dream last night.”
“What was it about, my little star?” She said, with concern in her motherly tone.
“Well, I had a dream that you and Aunt Twilight and Aunt Lulu left me and never came back.” Star started to tear up a little, but Celestia picked him up and wiped the tears forming in his eyes.
“Now, you know that we would never leave you. We all love you. Your Aunt Twilight and Aunt Lulu love you and your
mommy loves you and don’t you forget that.” She smiled at him, cradling him in her arms.The cooks then brought out Vegetable stew and Strawberry flavored water. Celestia looked at her son and said “for dessert we will have your favorite carrot cake.” Star’s eyes got wide at the sound of his favorite cake. Celestia saw her son’s smile
and kissed him on the forehead. After they ate, Star yawned loudly, so Celestia levitated him onto her back and walked him into his old bedroom. Star said “I love you mommy” which was muffled by a yawn.
“I love you too, my little Star” Celestia said as she laid him down on his bed a covered him in his blankets. She smiled and walked out of his room and saw Luna waiting for her. Celestia said “so, did you get the Star cooled off and shaped right?
“Yes sister, I did.” Luna replied nonchalantly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Shadow! over here!” Twilight shouted. Shadow saw her and greeted her is his classic gentlecolty fashion.
“Miss Twilight, what are we getting tickets for anyway?” Shadow asked. He was only told to meet Twilight here, not why or for what.
“It’s a magic show. I remember you said something about Star liking magic shows in his past life.” Twilight said matter-of-factly.
“So who is the magician we will be seeing?” Shadow pressed on, not liking being out of the loop.
Twilight sighed. He really was a tenacious pony. She found that she kind of liked it. “Well, it’s somepony that came to ponyville a year or two ago.”
“Well, Miss.Twilight, who is it?” He pressed harder. “I have a feeling you are stalling and are trying to hide something.” Shadow was also quite good at reading other ponies. Scary.
Twilight let out another sigh. “The Great and Powerful Trixie” Twilight said, almost ashamed. Not even ten seconds after she said that, a guard approached the duo.
“The Great and Powerful Trixie wants to talk to you both.” He said sternly. They followed him to her and entered her room.
“Twilight Sparkle,” Trixie said, greeting the other mare haughtily. “Why are you trying to get tickets to see The Great and Powerful Trixie when you humiliated her in ponyville?”
“Trixie, I’m getting tickets for Princess Celestia’s son. And before you ask, this is his personal guardian from Canterlot Castle.”
Trixie pondered for a moment at what she just heard. “There is something else I need to tell you, Twilight Sparkle. I am sorry.”
Twilight went into a temporary state of shock. “Did I hea-“ before she could finish, Trixie cut her off. “Yes, you heard me right. I am sorry. To show this, take these.”
Trixie levitated front row tickets and backstage passes to Twilight and Shadow. “I want to meet Celestia’s foal personally, after the show.” Trixie finished, leading Twilight and Shadow back out to the hallway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Star woke up a few hours later with a big yawn. A note was attached to his lamp. “Come to my room when you wake up.
Love mommy and Aunt LuLu”
Star read the note and stretched, then hopped off his bed. He used his magic to lift his hair brush, tidying up his mane and tail. When he walked out of his room, he ran into a Royal Guard. He started to tear up, and the guard turned around. “Oh, Prince Star, are you ok?”
Star nodded his head and said “yes, sir.” He then walked to his mother’s chambers and
knocked on the door. Celestia came and opened the door, greeting him warmly.
“Hello, sleepycolt. Did you have a good nap?” Celestia asked her son, the feature of grogginess still on his face.
“yes mommy” Star said with a smile. When he saw Luna, he ran to her and gave her a big hug and shouted “Aunt LuLu!”
“Hello Star, sweetheart. I missed you too. We have a surprise for you.” Luna levitated a box and opened it. Shooting Star’s
eyes got wide as he saw it. A white dwarf pendant that wasn’t too bright or too dim, on a golden chain. His smile got even bigger when they put it on him. Celestia said it looked great on him. They then walked out of her room and into the garden to a nice outdoor lunch.A few hours later, Twilight and Shadow got back to the castle with the tickets.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the time came to leave, Twilight went and got Shooting Star and Shadow. They walked to the theatre where Trixie's show was being held and showed their passes to a Ticket taker. The nice pony led the trio to their seats, and they sat just as the show began.
There was a drumroll and the theater went totally black. Star scrunched closer to Shadow, and didn’t move until the curtains finally opened. There were brilliant flashes of green, red, and yellow sparks emanating from a lone blue unicorn mare on stage. She was dressed in a midnight blue cape and hat, adorned with silver and gold stars. Fear soon gave way to
astonishment, as Star’s eyes grew wider and wider with each passing trick. He saw lights and shapes, made entirely out of magical essence. Trixie then followed her light show with the recount of her “Ursa Major” battle. That always kept the spectators awed, whether they believed her or not.
Trixie then pulled her top hat off of her head, and Angel Bunny popped out, looking rather angry. “Wrong bunny, folks!” Trixie said, shoving Angel back down into the headgear. Trixie then levitated several odds and ends, juggling them in the air.
“For my final trick, I need a volunteer! You, young colt in the front row! How would you like to assist the great and powerful Trixie?” She smiled at Star, as the lights focused on him. Star looked at Twilight and Shadow respectively, and they bade him to go on stage. He trotted up slowly and nervously, focusing on the wood planks under his hooves.
“Now, what’s your name, little one?” Trixie asked Star.
“Shooting Star, ma’am” He said, remembering the manners Miss Rarity had drilled into his head.
“Well Shooting Star, thank you for helping me. Just hold still while I wave my magic wand.” She began waving circles around his head and a box appeared under him. The box closed above his head and there was a puff of blue and white smoke. Shocked, Twilight stood up and was fixing to charge the stage when Shadow held her back.
Star appeared in his old seat, between the two of them, slightly ruffled, but fine nonetheless. Star clapped and yelled louder than anypony else. Twilight relaxed, disgruntled, but happy that Star was safe and that he enjoyed himself. Something then occurred to Twilight that hadn’t before. Trixie really was good at magic, so maybe she could give Star some advice. It was a stretch, but what could it hurt to ask?
After most of the assembled audience had cleared the sitting room, Twilight approached the backstage door, and after producing their VIP badges to the on-duty guard, he waved them through. When Trixie wasn’t in her garish magician’s outfit, she seemed much more approachable. Twilight introduced Shooting Star to Trixie more formally now.
“Trixie, this is Shooting Star, Princess Celestia’s young colt.” Star nervously stood as Trixie approached him, unsure of
what she was going to do. She turned out to be nice, nothing like what she used to be when Twilight first met her in ponyville. Trixie eagerly answered all of Star’s questions, and even showed him some of the tricks she didn’t always use in her show. Two of them involved turning Twilight’s horn into a flower (appearance-wise, anyway), and Shadow’s stripes yellow. Star
laughed raucously at this, much to Twilight and Shadow’s dismay. After Twilight had gotten over her initial embarrassment, she got down to the task at hand.
Twilight spoke privately to Trixie as Star and Shadow played catch with a small object. “Trixie, I know this is a strange request, but perhaps could you give young Star here some advice on controlling his magic? He’s still young yet, obviously, and I’m using all the tricks I know, but a fresh opinion wouldn’t hurt.”
“Trixie is willing to accept your request, if you are willing to accept Trixie’s friendship".
If you didnt figure it out Damian aka Shooting Star when he was human loved magic that is why Star loved the magic show so much
