Center of PonyVille was the least place Star wanted to be in, she could have been sitting back at the house on dads lounging chair reading, no, she was supposedly forced into going to the center of PonyVille with her brother, of all ponies he could do more damage than Derpy.

''Sun blaze told me to pick up a few things for her, once I'm done it's off to the park,'' Derpy said.

''Yes, I get to try out new tricks I've been coming up with.'' Night Star said.

''How are tricks so important, you just fly in random circles.'' Star Dust said in annoyance.'' Derpy can I please go to a library.''

''Your jealous because you can't fly, tricks are the (art) of flying, it helps with your reputation in school and in PonyVille,'' he said gliding side to side, Star hated that he was a mixture of dumb and smart, he had no reputation in school or in PonyVille with his bad temperament issues, with the causing outbreaks of fights.

''Star come on it'll be fun, theirs lots of fun things to do at the park,'' Derpy said.

''There's nothing fun about the park, its birds, trees, flowers, and ponies doing nothing.'' stammered Star Dust. Derpy sighed.

''You get in trouble I'm not telling your mother it was my fault, meet back here before sunset please,''Derpy said flying off with her brother.

''Now for a little me time.'' PonyVille was filled with places that were more interesting than the park, that was her younger self's favorite thing to do, shes twelve years old now, twin stuff was an old thing she use to say when she was younger, playing with Night Star as foals the park was a magic wonder land as a kid, Star Dust followed her brother everywhere he went, always getting them in trouble for the silliest of things, getting her stuck in holes looking for buried treasure, or putting her up in a tree to look for sky pirates, a story dad told them at bedtime, she'd use her magic to get herself down, mom would be at the bottom so angry at them, the punishments were the casual timeouts, Night Star used to turn timeouts into (fun) outs playing who can stay quiet and not laugh the longest, they both would lose every round the pony who did not laugh the most got to eat the cake mom hid in the fridge for them, good memories.

Enlisting her things to do trotting through PonyVille she caught sight of Mrs Cheerlie walking her class down to the town square, recognizing the student that Night Star picked a fight with a brown cult with green hair named Cinnamon Sprinkle, his leg wrapped in bandages in a cast after the damage Night Star did he didn't know that this unicorn had a crush on her since kindergarten, Star Dust did not have feelings for this pony since Star was a year older than him. As the class walked by some of the students pointed whispering about how she and her brother will never graduate, Mrs. Cheerliee never made eye contact.

''Hey, StarDust.'' Cinnamon Sprinkle said waving to her, the earth pony hobbled his three legs towards StarDust, she regretted not leaving the park with Derpy and night Star.

''Hey,.......Cinnamon Sprinkle, hows, your leg.'' Star Dust stuttered.

''The doctor said I'll be fine in two weeks. Is your brother still mad at me.?'' Cinnamon asked.'' I know he's still mad at me for making fun of Midnight, I want to apologize for my rude behavior.''

''I forgive you, you were only trying to not make yourself a target,'' Star said.

''What are you doing in PonyVille?'' Cinnamon asked.

''There's nothing to do at home so we left to come here, my sister is with our foalsitter Carrot Top, and NightStars with Derpy. I went off on my own to find something to do, what are you doing here?''

''Mrs. Cheerlie is taking us on another boring field trip,'' Cinnamon said looking at his class stopping at a shop. ''Your brother is a really strong fighter,'' Cinnamon said ruffling his green mane.

''He has anger issues. You should catch up with your class.'' Star said.

''I know, hey tell Midnight I'm sorry,'' Cinnamon said hobbling off to catch up with his moving class.

''Cinnamon Sprinkle.'' StarDust called. ''I'll get my mom to send an apology letter, okay.''

''Thanks,'' Cinnamon replied.

Though StarDust didn't have any attraction to Cinnamon Sprinkle, she certainly had no attraction to any pony at all reaching her preteen years.

''Night Star would not understand, I've been into fights too,'' she said levitating the fruit in the air the stallion working at the fruit cart leaned over eyeing her to see if she'd put it back or steal it. '' You having problems too aye.''

''Yeah, my brother thinks he can fight every pony that gets on his nerves, I'm a fighter too but it's not the way he sees it. I've gotten into fights Night Star would never win, I use the power of words to fight back, he uses the power of his hooves instead, Are we even the same anymore.'' Star said looking at the fruit she held one side showed her reflection the another showed a smudged spot a pot that was meant to represent her brother.

''You going to buy that?'' asked the shopkeeper.

''No sir.'' StarDust replied.

''Nah you can keep it, I have twins foals of my own back home, I grew up in a family full of twins, my twin sings and travels Equestria, his visits are once a year.''

''Thank you, sir, may I ask what your name is?''

''Hawk Cactus, aye don't let a little miss hap between you and your brother keep you apart, next time you get into an argument look him in the eye tell him this. I'm just like you, I breathe the same air as you, I was born the same time as you even if I was born by a second, we share the same DNA, we are one in the same."

''Think my brother will listen to this,'' Star asked.

''He's your twin, he'll listen.'' the shopkeeper said. StarDust ate the fruit Hawk Cactus gave her trotting out of town square into down town PonyVille, the richer side as mom called it, unicorns from Canterlot come to PonyVille, not for the nice friendly ponies and neighbors, they moved here to make a profit off the place, bringing with them expensive items mom can never afford, including the houses more of a neighborhood of mansions, yards were decorated all nice and pretty with flowers, the bushes shaped into animals, her mother knew a few earth ponies who were rich, not that she wished her family were rich, no common pony comes down here. The neighborhood had a quiet absence of ponies.

Star Dust did not find her brother nor Derpy back at the exact same spot Derpy told them to meet them at in the time square.

''Where are they?'' Star Dust questioned. The ponies here were enjoying a calm afternoon relaxing taking a break from morning rush hour, she canters to Hawk Cactus's fruit stand Cactus laid leaned back in his chair.

''Hawk Cactus, did you so happen to see a grey Pegasus with a dark blue cult flying around?'' she asked. Cactus looked down at her from his fruit stand. ''Grey Pegasus with walled eyes.''

''Yes her have you seen her?'' StarDust answered.

''I so did happen to see them, they came running by chasing some mysterious red cult down the street,'' Hawk said pointing in the direction leading back to the house. Galloping down the street she tried out the teleportation spell her dad taught her, she wasn't sure it will fully work, furthermore she needed to catch up to them faster, in this case, the distance between them and the house they'd already be there at Pegasus speed, Star needed to go by unicorn speed, by using a spell that big would take up all her energy. Her mom told her that when she was still in school, every year one unicorn out of a thousand will succeed perfecting this spell, she was one of them, mom used the transportation spell once, Night Star got sick during class last year, triggering an instinct all mothers had, her mom teleported herself across PonyVille at such a great speed she caused a dent to appear in the school yard, with no exhaustion, mom broke the door down, a sense of rage on moms face, Mrs. Cheerlie did not bother notifying her that he had gotten sick causing her moms mane to explode into flames almost setting the school on fire, every student screamed in the classroom, thankfully she had the money to replace the door, telling Star Dust it was a magic outburst, a unicorn filled with anger, their mane will ignite like fire, having lasting effects on the area the unicorn was standing in, Star being a preteen is close to reaching that stage.

''Celestia help me,'' Star said before a purple ora consumed Star Dust, feeling her body heat up in the mist of the flash, ended up in the backyard of the house, running through the back door, through the living room and out the front, in the yard Night Star wrestled in grass with the red cult Hawk Cactus told her about.

''Night Star!''

''I can explain this.'' Night Star said pinning down the cult with both hooves. All of a sudden a scream echoed from the back of the house,

''Derpy!'' coming to a halt in front of them, Carrot Top had come back without her sister Carrots body bled from huge wounds on her body.

''Carrot Top what happen!''

''Midnight i.... I lost her in the EverFree!''
