Starlight was recently accepted to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. She looked forward to interesting classes and an overall exciting new life. She even made a great friend. She and her new friend become inseparable and seem like the perfect duo, but all foals experience different things from life that make or break them. When life seems to be bearing down on Starlight's friend, how will she confront the issue and will she be successful?

This story is a Starlight Glimmer headcanon, set before Sunset was banished, but not too long before. I would say Starlight is around 13 in human years.

The sad tag is very loosely used, but none of the tags really fit this story too well.

*Also, I would put in cover art, but I wanted to get this out before the season 5 finale airs and this headcanon is completely shattered. I will probably come back to set one later when I find a good pic.
