The Rise of Starlight Glimmer

                It was a sunny day in Canterlot and everypony was happily walking around the streets, looking at what the sales ponies where offering or simply talking about their day. One family in particular was quite noticed for their little pink filly bouncing around excitedly. The purple mare with a black main that was behind her sighted :

"Starlight, darling, please stop running all over the place. You've already seen Canterlot so there's no need to be exited."

Starlight immediately stopped and walked next to her mother ears down.

"I'm sorry mom but we're going to live here!" Her ears went up a bit. " Isn't THAT worth being super exited?" She squealed the last few words.

Her mom looked at her sharply and Starlight looked down. She heard somepony laugh at her as they continued forward.

"Ugh! Dad HOW am I supposed to gain some friends with HER embarrassing me all the time?"

Starlight turned round to face her sister.

"Am not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"GIRLS!" their dad said, "we've arrived."

They had stopped in front of a modern yellow house with large windows and a big wooden door. Starlight had to stop herself from jumping up in the air and bouncing around with joy. What was her room going to look like? Where there going to be secret rooms? Is the kitchen going to be next to her room?

The family walked inside and each explored the house. Starlight dashed upstairs with her light blue sister. They both stopped in front of two doors and opened one each. Starlight peeked into the room and saw that it was quite small and that it had a beautiful view on the Canterlot Castle. She liked it!

Her big sister gasped next door and Starlight walked into the room. It had a big balcony and was huge! Twice the size of hers.

"Mine!" said her sister looking at her all evil like.

"Hey! No fair Moonlight! It's not cause you found it first that it's yours!" Starlight said.

"Uhhh yeah it does! Now get out! This is my room now so it's dorks intolerant."

"I'm not a dork! I'm going to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns in two days." Do I dare ? Starlight thought. "YOU never got into it!"

There! She said it. She shouldn't have... Her sister looked at her and a flash of anger passed through her eyes.

"Get out..." she murmured "Now!"

Starlight dashed out the door as it slammed shut behind her. She was regretting what she had said now. Her sister had always wanted to get in that school but during the test, she accidentally lit her white and silver hair on fire and didn't get in. Now that she was a teenager in her early seventeens, working hard, she was very sensitive about that. Moonlight was never going to talk to her now!

Two days later they had unpacked all their stuff and it was time for bed. Starlight was under the covers, nervous about her big day tomorrow. Her dad, Starbeam, was tucking her in. He always did that because her mom was never the most affectionate pony so she didn't hug or kiss goodnight her daughters.

"Dad?"

"Yes Starlight?"

"Can you tell me how you got your cutie mark again please?"

"I always loved looking at the stars at night and one day, for my science project, I created a beam that went up to the stars and one fell on the floor. It's now exposed at the Mainhattan museum."

Starlight nodded and turned off the lights as her father left the room.

She was almost terrified at the idea of going to school tomorrow. She knew she should have had her cutie mark by now but it just wouldn't appear! It had been very hard surviving the other fillies laughs last year. Starlight didn't want to get bullied for not having something. Her sister had always been there for her until the test accident. Now, she was cold and always grumpy.

Starlight sighted. She hoped she would find new friends. She hoped...

Her eyes closed and she fell asleep.
