How do the Stars twinkle?

"What's school?" Dusk asked her head tilting to the left, a puzzled expression plastered on her face. Rarity smiled at the fillys cluelessness "Duskie school is a place where you go to learn, and make friends" Dusk face broke into a grin, "I love making new friends" she squeaked hopping around Sweetiebelle in a Pinkie like way.

Sweetiebelle who was getting dizzy by the hopping Dusk, smiled at her enthusiasm "and you'll be in my class" She announced Dusk chirped and stopped hopping to hug Sweetie. Rarity smiled at the two they were precious, she grasped two saddlebags in her magic one was Sweetiebelle's normal one white withh jems on the straps, the other was Dusk's new one it was indigo with silver stars and moons.

"Come now we must not miss school, should we?" Rarity asked walking out the door, leaving the two fillies scrambiling after her each grabbing  their bag with magic. Dusk chirped before hopping onto Sweetie's back, Sweetie stumbled balancing the new weight for a second, before continuing her regular gait. Then again Dusk was smaller than the avarge fillie roughly the size of a foal, but she had the basic knowledge on magic and extraodinary knowledge in astronomy.

But they didn't learn astronomy or teach magic in school, the school was only a five minute walk from the boutique, by the time they got there Dusk was hopping from Rarity's back to Sweetiebelle's. Neither minded  it was nice to see a smiling face, and her hooves were soft from her lack of walking like a mini massage.

"Well darling this is were i must depart, do have fun today though." Rarity smiled nuzzling Dusk who was from experiance was very clingy, " okay, bye!" Dusk called as Rarity walked, then away joining Sweetie who was frowning "what is it?" She asked Sweetie shook her head "My friends aren't going to be here this week, so its going to be boring for me" Dusk pouted "im boring?" She asked crossing her hooves, Sweetie chuckled "no you're certantly not".

Dusk smiled running into classroom looking around until she found the teacher, "Excuse me" she asked looking up at the teacher who looked down and smiled "Im new here" Dusk said her head tiltted. Ms. Cherrilee chuckled at the small filly amused, "Well then welcome young one, whats your name?" Dusk smiled back "Dusk ma'am" she said smiling, "Hello Dusk, my name is Ms. Cherrilee. Your desk is next to Diamond Tiara, i hope you two will get along." Dusk chirped pleased, and trotted to her new desk.

She was sitting between a grey and filly and a pink filly, who snickered apon her arrival whispering remarks "fake wings" the pink one said making the grey one cackle, in agreement. "Attention class" Ms.Cheerilee said stomping her hooves against the worn wooden floor "We have a new student today, Dusk do you mind introducing yourself to the class?"

Dusk chirped and gracfully maneuvered out of her seat and to the front, jumping ontop of Ms.Cheerile for added effect. "Hi, my name Dusk Nanette Lunar." She said a victorious grin on her face "what do you like to do Dusk?" Ms. Cheerilee asked hopping to spark a conversation. "I like to raise the stars, create new stars, chirp, and outsmart guards. I exceed in lunar magic, and giving massages." She finished gently moving her hooves around Ms. Cherrilee's back making her close her eyes in enjoyment.

A black hoof shot into the air, "are you a alicorn?" The black hoof asked that was attached to a small black Pegasus colt with a electric yellow mane. Dusk smiled "Yes, yes i am. Any more questions?" A pink hoof raised in the air "Why are you a still blank flank!" She screeched failing at hidding her laughter, Dusk blinked

"um, i do have a cutie mark see" she turned giving the whole class a solid look at her cutie mark, she didn't notice the black colt's face turning lobster red. The pink filly stopped mid laugh making her snort, "Wait Sweetiebelle has non-blank flank friends? Ain't that a shocker" She said out loud making the class giggle, Dusk's ear twitched  her eyes narrowed

"Okay then what does your cutie mark mean, smartflank?" She asked in a unnaturally calm voice, Diamond Tiara glared at her sticking her snout in the air "It means that i am wealthy, and better than you peasants" she said in a stuck up voice. Dusk chuckled "So your better than Princess Luna?" Her voice still holding the calm tone, Diamond Tiara faltered, "No but i am better than you, alicorn wannabe" she snapped Dusk chuckled and cleared her throat

"I am royalty, you have ten seconds to apologise before i call Mother Luna, to beat your flank" she hissed in a dangerous voice Diamond Tiara's eyes grew the size of plates, "Lier" she choked out shivering. Dusk smiled "Five seconds" she sang, five seconds past in absolute silence. Dusk swallowed air "MOTHER!!!!" She yelled making the whole room jump in surprise, the clouds outside grew gray, gathering above the school house encasing it in shadow.

"I'm sorry!!" Diamond wailed shivering in a small ball, Dusk smiled "NEVER MIND" She yelled the clouds dissipated hopping off Ms. Cherrilee snapping her out of her trance, "Good Diamond Flank" Dusk sneered at the pink filly as she walked by, the grey one had a look of fear and anger.

Dusk sat in her seat, silently she opened a mind link with Sweetiebelle 'Why did you do that?' Sweetie asked baffled 'because she was talking smack about my cuz, you would have done the same if you were in my hooves.' Dusk explained 'True' Sweetie said closing the link and focusing on the teacher tell a student that ten plus nine was not twenty-one.

Soon the school day ended the bell rung and the students left the building, Dusk was waiting on Sweetiebelle who had to turn in some late work. Silver spoon seeing the filly alone thought that it would be the perfect time to attack her. She was about to pouce her rump in the air cat pouce ready, untill a stick smacked her rump making her yelp.

The stick was held in a dark blue aroura, "We heard a pair of fillies have been bullying my daughter's cousions" Luna said towering over the grey filly, Silver spoon glupped running away the, stick smacking her rump once more before being dropped. The illusion fadded away Dusk's horn stopped glowing,  Sweetiebelle stepped out of the school house

"Ready to go Dusk?" She asked standing still allowing the filly to jump on her back, Dusk chirped "Can we get a milkshake?" She asked innocently her head tilting "I'll pay" she added. Sweetiebelle changed course "Sure thing Duskie" They traveled chatting about canterlot, flavors and Opal, "How long have they bullied you?" Dusk asked out of nowhere, Sweetiebelle groaned "A year" she replied, Dusk snorted "Well they wont bother you anymore" she said triumphantly.

She could fell Sweetiebelle tense up under her hooves, "Nothing major just showed them who's boss" as soon as she finished her sentance they arrived at Sugarcube Corner. They entered welcomed by the scent of warm pastries, and laughing ponys. A pink poofy maned mare was at the register, "OMG Dusk i haven seen you in forever, even thoight its only been two days. Crazy how that  stuff works, now do you want to buy something?"

Pinkie said Dusk smiled at thr mare, "Yes we'll have a vanilla bean milkshake, a blue raspberry milkshake, and two extra large chocolate chip cookies " Pinkie smiled and zoomed off to the kitchen, a second later she returned with the requested sugary snacks "okay doki loki, that will be 19 bits please" Dusk opened her saddlebag pulling out a pouch  she counted twenty-five bits levitating them to Pinkie who looked confused

"a tip" Dusk explained grasping the treats in her magic, Sweetiebelle walking back to the boutique holding her drink in her own magic. "This is great you know that" she said slurping on her drink, Dusk chirped in agreement drinking her drink in the same fashion. They talked inbetween slurps and munchs, until they made it back to the boutique. Dusk hopped off of Sweetiebelle's back and ran into the guest room to write a letter to her mother.

Sweetiebelle smiled, Dusk truly was special.
