The Moon Student and the Sun Student

Sunset Shimmer woke up and got out of bed. She took everything she had and put it in her backpack. She went downstairs and saw that had no ponies at home. But she wasn’t sad about it. For today, she would live in the castle with her mentor. She got a sandwich to eat. After eating, she left her house. She was all bouncing, for it was today that she would live with somepony who cared about her.

Meanwhile, in the castle, Luna was at the table with Celestia. She would tell that Sunset Shimmer would live in the castle with her, “sister”

Celestia looked at Luna, “what is it, sister?”

“I’d like to tell you something, sister”, replied Luna.

“And what is it, Luna?” asked Celestia.

“Sunset Shimmer is going to live here in the castle”, replied Luna.

Celestia was silent before asking, “Why?”

Luna was surprised, “Tia, the parents of Sunset Shimmer don’t even stay at home, they just travel and they only come back when they have an important celebration”

“I never imagined there would be such parents, Luna”, said Celestia.

“Neither do I, sister”, agreed Luna.

Suddenly, the two sisters heard Sounds of hooves coming from the door. When the sound stopped, the door opened, revealing Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.

“Hi, Twilight Sparkle”

“Hi, Sunset Shimmer”

“Hi, Princess”, greeted Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer in unison.

Luna and Celestia had managed to resist the urge to laugh. Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer went to the table to sit next to their teachers to eat the pancakes she had.

After they finished eating, the princesses took their students to the library. Twilight Sparkle was curious before, “Princess, why did you take me to the library? Are we going to read it?”

Celestia shook her head, “no. But for today’s class, we’ll need the books”

“What are you going to teach me today, Princess?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“The spell of carrying things with your magic,” replied Celestia. “You have to get some books with your magic as much as you can handle”

Twilight Sparkle was worried, “I’m not going to faint?”

“No, my student,” replied Celestia. “If you can’t stand it, just drop the books”

Celestia took a book from the shelf and placed it on the floor, “try to get this book with your magic”

Twilight Sparkle easily picked up the book with its magic. Twilight Sparkle smiled at that.

Celestia took two more books from the shelves, “now, try to get these two books”

Twilight Sparkle, still holding the book, took the two books. It wasn’t that hard.

Celestia picked up another book and laid it on the floor, “try to get this book with your magic”

Twilight Sparkle took the book with its magic. But, suddenly she began to feel exhausted. She released the books as she breathed tiredly.

Celestia smiled, “Very well, my student, I see that you are strong with your magic”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Celestia as she smiled and breathed tiredly, “thank you, princess”

Celestia and Twilight Sparkle left the library and saw Luna and Sunset Shimmer coming out of the library.

Sunset Shimmer was in her room, happy. At least now she lived with somepony who cared and stayed with her.

“Sunset, can I talk to you for a moment?” asked Twilight Sparkle on the bedroom door.

Sunset Shimmer looked at Twilight Sparkle, who was now entering the room, “why did you teleport yourself away from the library?”

Sunset Shimmer looked to the side, nervous. She sighed sadly, “It’s because my family always travels and only comes back when it has an important celebration”

“I know that,” said Twilight Sparkle. “But have another reason?”

Sunset Shimmer nodded, “Yes, I wanted to have a family like you, who loves and cares”

Twilight Sparkle was surprised. She didn’t expect Sunset to be envious of her, “Would you like me to do something to help you?”

Sunset Shimmer smiled, “No thank you. Princess Luna already helped me”

“How did she help you, Sunset?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“She’s going to let me live in the castle”, smiled Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle was happy for her friend. But then a doubt popped into her head, “so the reason you wanted to spend the weekend with me was because you didn’t want to stay home alone without your parents?”

Sunset Shimmer sighed, “yes”

“So why did you invite me to come to your house?”

“I wanted you to meet my house”, replied Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle then yawned, “I’m going to bed, good night”

“Good night”

Twilight Sparkle left the Sunset Shimmer room and went to her room. She hoped that now that Sunset Shimmer was going to live in the castle she would feel better.
