Unleash The Truth

"When I was little, and by that I mean really little, I had friends. Their names were Sunset Shimmer, and Starlight Glimmer. We were neighbors, and our parents knew each other well. So, we began playing together. I was six, I think, when it all started."

"Come on, Sunny! Starry told us to meet her in the playground! And the show starts at nine! We really can't be late!" Twilight said, carefree as the wind.

"I know! Bet I could beat you there!"Sunset cried, racing along the sidewalk.

Twilight raced after her, slowly but surely catching up to her friend.

"Sunset! Twilight! Don't go too far away!" called Sunset's mother, Starless Night, from where she was walking with Twilight Velvet, Twilight's mother.

"Okay, mommy!"Sunset called back, without slowing down at all.

Soon, they were at Canterlot Park, near the entrance to the outdoor play area. There, they met their best friend, Starlight Glimmer.

"Starlight had found out about a show in the park, that Princess Celestia had been attending. We figured that if it was good enough for a Princess, it was good enough for us. So, the three of us convinced our parents to let us go to the show."

The stage was dark, and Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Twilight Sparkle stood near the middle, eager to see the show.

"I wanna see the teleportation!"Twilight said.

"I wanna see the transfiguration!"Starlight said.

"I wanna see the pyromancy!"Sunset said.

"Well, my little ponies, you will see all that if you will just keep still!"claimed a regal voice from nearby.

Beside the three fillies, was a tall alabaster alicorn mare with a flowing, multicolor mane.

"You're... you're... you're... you're Princess Celestia...,"Sunset said, gaping at the monarch.

"Really? I hadn't noticed,"Princess Celestia said, laughing.

"How could you not notice?"asked Starlight, with childhood innocence.

Princess Celestia gaped, unable to believe that she had just been burned by a three-year-old. She slowly regained her composure, clearing her throat to mask her surprise.

"Well, that was an expression."

"Ohhhhhhhh!"the three fillies said in unison.

Just then, fireworks went up, signaling the start of the show. Everyone turned toward the stage.

"Welcome to the show of the Wonderful and Magnificent Hat Trick!"called a blue unicorn mare with pink eyes, a light pink mane, with a purple wizard's hat and cape that covered her horn and cutie mark.

"And the Famed and Brilliant Trickster!"called a yellow unicorn stallion with blue eyes and a silver who appeared in a poof of smoke.

"And our assistant, the Great and Powerful Trixie!" said Hat Trick, as a young filly of around eleven years old with a blue coat, pink eyes, and a silver mane leapt onto stage.

Hat Trick began with a simple spell, that transfigured an orange into an apple, which she then opened up, to reveal the inside, which still looked like an orange. The crowd oohed appreciatively. Starlight almost squealed in excitement.

Then, Trickster teleported into the air, from where he disappeared in a huge explosion, set off by Trixie. Then, he reappeared, in front of Princess Celestia, and bowed.

"Your highness," he said.

"Lord Trickster," she answered.

He bowed once more, and then teleported back on stage.

The show was amazing. We saw everything, from hydromancy to pneumomancy to self-transfiguration, but it was taking a long time. Starlight and I had fallen asleep, but not Sunset. She simply had to see the pyromancy. It was her dream to be the best pyromancer she could. But what I'm about to tell you now... is what she told me. I am not making this up.
