Chapter 1- A new baby

During equestria's longest time of peace an alicorn and unicorn named Cadence and Shining armor had a small child named flurry heart destined to become the crystal queen, just by her alicorn appearance it was clear she would train to protect the empire and the crystal ponies as the future crystal queen. But than another filly was added to her family, but unlike her older sister, flurry she was oddly a pegasus. The first pegasus princess…

Young 5 year old, Flurry Heart and Princess Twilight Sparkle
both waited patiently in a hall of the crystal castle, it was sunny outside, yet another perfect day. They waited calmly outside the room where Princess Cadence was until a royal guard of the empire, slowly opens the door and walks towards them

"Queen Cadence says You can come see the baby now" he says

The guard esscorts both the princesses to the room where Shining Armor is with Cadence who is laying down on a bed, looking very tierd, smiling holding something in her arms. A small foal with a pale white coat and a mainly purple mane with atouch of yellow and dark blue in it. Adorable little wings but, no horn

"Where is she?! Where is she?!" Flurry Heart said in excitement while running towards her mother

Cadence giggles a bit and turns the baby towards Flurry so she can she her "She's right here" she says as she shows the child to her elder daughter and to her sister in law

"She's beautiful" Twilight said in a happy voice

Flurry Heart looks confused and slowly starts looking at her own wings and horn "Uhh where's her horn?" she says in a concerned voice

Cadence's Happy face expression suddenly turns into worry "I.. I.. didn't even realize she was a pegasus... but she's adorable either away" she says, as the young pegasus starts doing adorable baby noises

"But how can she be a pegasus? It's impossible I'm a unicorn, so were my parents and.. you're an alicorn. So how is this even possible?" Shining armor replies in a worried tone of voice, looking at Cadence with a concerned expression on his face

She looks at him, confused and a bit annoyed "Well.. before Princess Celestia turned me into a alicorn, I was a pegasus. I was sure I told you this." she answers firmly

Shining Armor's eyes slowly widden and he proceeds to laugh nervously "Sorry.." he says as he slowly starts looking down to the ground

Cadence smilies "It’s fine dear"

"I'm pretty tired I think I’m gonna go to my room and get some rest" she adds after a loud yawn escaped her mouth

"Okay the baby should too, but what should we name her?" Shining asks

"Hmm.. I think maybe-" Cadence starts saying until she's cut off by her daughter

"Can I name her? Can I name her? Pleaseeee" Flurry says loudly in excitement

Cadence turns to look at Shining Armor to see if it's alright, he proceeds to slowly nod his head

"Of course sweetie." Cadence answers with a smile

The young princess looks down at her little sister trying to think of a sutiable name for her "Hmmm...Sugar Star! I want her to be called Sugar Star!"

"That's a lovely name Flurry! It suits her perfectly" Twilight says to her niece

Flurry Squeaks "I know right?! It's such a cute little name for her!"

Cadence giggles a bit to her daughter's response "Agreed! Well.. I think Sugar and I should get to bed, it's been a pretty eventful day for us."

"Yeah I should be heading back as well, I’m sure Flash has fallen asleep by now." says Twilight turning around to walk to her room

"Night Twily" says Shining Armor

Twilight turns back to face him and smiles "Night"

They slowly walk out of the room and close the door

[A week later]

Cadence is in Flurry hearts bedroom pacing, and stressing until a beautiful, yellow gold crystal pony enters the room
"Oh! Marigold! There you are!"

"Yes your highness, what may I do for you?" Marigold answers

"Do you know where Flurry is?" Cadence asks

"I'm afraid I do not" Marigold answers

Cadence sighs "Well.. could you maybe go look for her and bring her here, to her bedrooom? It's almost time for Sugar Star's crystalling and Flurry Heart hasn't even tried on her gown yet!"

"Of course.. I'll go look for her right away" she answers

"Thank you Marigold, this is very helpful of you" says Cadence

Marigold smiles "It's no problem my Queen" she bows down and than walks off to try and find Flurry

[An hour later]

Marigold and Flurry Heart walk towards Cadence into the Bedroom

"I found her your highness, she was in the kitchen eating ice cream" Marigold says

Cadence looks at Flurry who has a face full of chocolate and she giggles " Oh Flurry What am I going to do with you?" said in a funny kind of tone

Flurry laughs

"Well.. I think I'm going to leave you 2 alone now.. I must go prepare for the crystalling" says Marigold as she slowly walks out of the room

"Now Flurry, time to wash that chocolate of your face" Cadence grabs a napkin and wipes the chocolate of Flurry's Face

"Thank you mommy" she says

Cadence smiles and floats Flurry's dress with magic "Now.. time for the dress" she puts the dress on Flurry with her magic
"Awww doesn't that look nice?"

"I guess.. but.. Mommy why do I have to wear a dress? You know I hate wearing dresses!" Flurry says in a frusturated voice

"Because, Flurry, Today is a very important day" Cadence answers

Flurry roles her eyes "Ugh. What's so special about today anyway?"

"Today is your little sister’s crystalling. When you were born we had a Crystalling for you too, and everypony wore something nice." she answers

Flurry Heart's eyes light up with excitement "Ooo! Ooo! Is that when I destroyed the crystal heart?!"

Cadence giggles "Yes.. it is"

"Awesome! Is Sugar Star gonna do that to?" says Flurry

She laughs a little "no Flurry, you did that with your magic and as you recall, your sister doesn't have a horn"

"Oh.. right.."

"How do you even know about that anyway?" she asks

"I just.. heard it somewhere here in town" Flurry answers

Cadence is a bit concerned "I see.. well Anyway Flurry, it's Sugar Stars crystalling so yes you have to wear a dress."

Flurry has an angry and annoyed expression on her face "But it's soo ichy!"

"Well you're the one who picked it out" Cadence reminds her

"How was I supposed to know?!" Flurry says in an annoyed tone
"I didn’t want to wear a stupid dress anyway" she mumbles

"Well I think you love lovely.." says her mother

"Thanks.. I guess" she answers in a grumpy tone

"Well you only have to wear it for a few hours so I shouldn't be THAT bad."

"If you say so.."

"Oh no! It's gotten so late! We should be getting to the crystal stage!"

They gallop all the way out side to the crystal stage to get everything ready

[15 minutes later]

Shining Armor, Cadence, Twilight, Flurry Heart and of course Sugar star are all on the big crystal stage, to start the crystslling

"I present the newest member of the crystal empire Princess Sugar Star!" says Twilight Sparkle while holding princess Sugar Star up in the air with a crystal shard to collect the love from the crystal ponies of the empire, as they all slowly bow down and then they get back up and cheer

After the crystal empire crystalling ceramony, 2 female crystal ponies are talking outside in town

"Don't you think it's strange that she's a Pegasus and not an alicorn?" says crystal pony number 1

"I know, it's so weird. Princess Flurry Heart is an alicorn so why isn't she?" answers crystal pony number 2

Crystal pony 1 has a confused face expression "I have no idea.. but doesn't even look like royalty. At least Flurry Heart was the first one born and she'll be our Queen. I can't imagine the embarrassment we would have to have a Pegasus as a the next Crystal queen"

Crystal pony 2 nods "I totally agree. But she will still be our princess even if she is a Pegasus... So it's still pretty embarrassing I mean.. she can't even do magic"

"exactly! Well, at least we're not depending on her protection" she replies

she grins "yeah, we have Princess Flurry Heart for that. A loyal, responsible, beautiful and an ALICORN princess"

4 years after chapter 1, Princess Sugar star who is now 4 years old, is running everywhere inside the crystal castle, while her older sister Flurry Heart is running after her

"Ha! Ha! You can't catch me! You can't catch me!" Sugar Star says as she runs away from her sister

"Oh I will!" Flurry Heart replies

"No! You aren't fast enough to catch me!" Sugar Star says while sticking her tongue out

"Oh yeah?! Just wait and see!" Flurry says as she speeds up, catches up to her sister and jumps suddenly falling on her

"Ha! Told ya I could catch you!" she adds

"Aww come on! That's no fair! You're 9 years old and I'm only 4!" Sugar says

Flurry rolls her eyes "Don't be such a baby Sugar! It's just a game!"

Sugar Star pouts "I know.. but it still isn't fair!"

Flurry Giggles and stands back up, holding her hoof towards her sister to help her
Sugar takes her hoof and gets back up as well

"Flurry?"

"Yes Sugar?"

"We're friends right? I mean.. we arent just sister.. were friends! R-right?" Sugar Star asks with a nervous face expression

"Of course we are silly!" Flurry answers

"And we're going to be best friends forever and ever! Like always.. right?"

Flurry giggles "Yes"

Flurry Heart and Sugar Star hug

Cadence sees them hugging and walks towards them

"Well.. it's nice to see you 2 getting along for once!" Cadence says as she looks at them hugging in hapiness

"What are you talking about? We always get along!" Flurry says

"Yeah!" Sugar adds

Cadence giggles "Anyway.. I came here to tell you 2 that it's time to for lunch, there are 2 daisy sandwichs on the table for you 2 to eat"

"Okay mommy!" Sugar says

(later)

"Flurry? Do you wanna play a board game with?" Sugar asks her sister while looking at a shelf full of board games

"Of course sis! I'd love to play with you!" Flurry answers

Marigold, arrives in the room "Hi there girls"

"Heya Marigold!" says Sugar Star

"Hello Marigold, how are you?"

"I'm doing quite well" Marigold answers with a smile

"That's great to hear Marigold but.. we were kind of in the middle of something. We were going to pick out a fun boardgame to play!" Sugar Star tells Marigold

Flurry looks at Sugar Star with an annoyed face "Sugar.. be polite."

"Okay okay.. I'm sorry Marigold"

Marigold smiles "It's alright Princess Sugar Star, don't worry about it"

"Oh alright then!" Sugar star says with a grin

Flurry Heart turns to Marigold "Anyway Marigold.. is there.. something you needed?"

"Well.. yes.. there is.. umm Queen Cadence wanted me to tell you that you must come down stairs for a bit of extra crystal queen training" Marigold answers

"Extra queen training? Ughhhhh but whyyy? I hate training it's sooo boring. Do I have to go???" Flurry replies

Marigold looks down "I'm afraid so your highness.."

"B-but.. but Flurry and I were just about to play a cool board game! Can't she train later..? Or.. maybe tomorrow or something?" Sugar Star asks in disappointement

Marigold slowly shakes her head

Sugar Star has a very sad face "But.. but.. what about our game?"

"It's alright Sugar Star.. we'll play tomorrow okay?"

"Okay.." Sugar Star says in a sad voice

"Well.. actually you have to train tomorrow as well.. infact you ust train all week" Margold replies

"What.. no..." Sugar Star says

"Its ok.. Sugar, we'll just play next week"

"Ugh. Fine." Sugar says before walking of to her room, angrily

"Ughhh she never ever has time for me" She says as she starts to cry

Chapter 3- A new friend (2 years later)

(2 years after chapter 2, Sugar Star is 6 years old, Flurry Heart is 12 years old)

Sugar Star and Flurry are outside, Sugar watches Flurry beat a pony manikin with a stick for training

"Flurry Heart, what are you doing?" Sugar Star asks her sister in a confused voice

"Training." she answers in a Simple and sure voice, still beating the manikin

Sugar Star has a confused look "Huh? Training.. For what?"

"To protect the empire when I become the Crystal Queen like mom of course!" Flurry answers in an obvious voice

"But.. why?" Sugar asks

"You ask a lot of questions, Sugar Star" Flurry says in an annoyed voice

Sugar Star giggles "Well I’m bored, so.. annoying you gives me entertainment. Are you almost done? I want to play with you!!!"

Flurry frowns "I'm sorry Sugar, but I have to keep practicing. Why don’t you go, and try to make friends? I'm sure there are lots of nice ponies that would love to play with you!"

"Hmm. Okay! Good idea!" She answers

Sugar Star, Flaps her wings and flies off to the middle of town, and lands

Some crystal fillies and colts are having fun, laughing playing with a ball, but one little filly is sitting by a house, alone eating cookies

Sugar Star slowly walks towards the younf filly who seems around her age "Hi!" she says, looking down at her

the young filly looks up "Oh umm hello your highness"

"Why aren’t you playing with the other fillies, and colts?" Sugar asks

"I just.. Uhh.. I-I don’t want to share my cookies (2 seconds pause) your highness"

Sugar Star rolls her eyes in annoyement

"No need to be so formal, alicorns are royalty, not pegasi" she says

"I mean.. You're still a princess" the young filly says

Sugar Star sighs "I guess… Anyway.. I’m-"

The little unicorn cuts Sugar Star off and says " You're Princess Sugar Star… I know."

"Okay.. Well.. What’s your name?" Sugar asks

"I'm Gemma!" she answers

Sugar smiles "That’s a pretty name! Wanna be friends? I don’t really have any."

Gemma looks confused and quite nervous "Y-you want to be friends with me?"

"Well yeah. Why would I ask if I didn’t want to be?" The young princess asks

"To be polite I guess." Gemma mumbles

"If I wanted to be polite I would have said : Hey Wanna be my friend cause you look lonely” She says

Gemma rolls her eyes and mumbles "straight forward much…"

"What was that? I couldn’t hear what you said." Sugar Star asks Gemma with a confused, frusturated and a bit annoyed look

"Oh! Nothing worth your time. Anyway.. wanna play a game?" Gemma asks

"Sure! I'd love too!" Sugar says in a happy voice

Cadence Slowly walks towards where Flurry Heart is training, outside close to the crystal castle

Queen Cadence turns to face her daughter "Flurry?"

"Yes mom?" She asks

"Where’s your sister?" Cadence asks Flurry, a bit worried

"She was bugging me so I told her to make friends with some of the fillies in town." Flurry Heart answers in a calm and serious voice

"You. Did. WHAT?!" Cadence yells extremely worried and very mad at Flurry for leaving her sister alone

Flurry care free "She’s just in the snowflake. It’ll be easy to find her. Besides you let me play-"

Cadence cuts her daughter off "Yes while somepony was watching you Flurry Heart! Without supervision is a different story. (Talking to herself) Take deep breaths."

Cadence takes a few deep breaths

"Mom! I'm eleven! I can take care of myself!" Flurry says, a bit upset

Cadence looks frusturated "I'm aware of that, but your sister is only six years old Flurry Heart! You may be able to take care of yourself, but she can’t."

"But-" Flurry starts to say until her mother cuts her off

"No buts. Go find your sister right now!" Cadence says in a very loud and serious voice

Flurry seems mad and quite annoyed by her mothers demands "Ugh! Okay fine. Stupid baby pegasus." she mumbles

Cadence rays an eyebrow in confusion "What was that?"

"Nothing… I’ll go find her." she answers

Flurry slowly walks away

"What am I going to do?! What am I going to do?! Sugar Star could be in danger! What if a strange pony approches her?!"
Cadence says to herself in panic, while pacing and breathing heavily from stress about what horrible things might be happening to her daughter

But suddenly Sugar Star arrives, galloping towards her mother, with Gemma running behind her

"Mommy Mommy!" Sugar Star says in a happy voice

Cadence has a relieved but worried look "Sugar Star! Oh my Celestia where were you?"

"Making a new friend! This is Gemma!" She answers joyfully

Gemma bows down to Cadence

"Uhh hello your majesty." Gemma says nervously, still bowing

Sugar giggles and says "I told you no need to be formal! You’re my friend there for it doesn’t matter."

"Well my mommy says if you’re addressing royalty than you should treat them with respect." Gemma answers

"Not if your friends with royalty." Sugar Star tells Gemma with a smile

Gemma slowly gets back up, no longer bowing "I guess you're right, but your not a princess princess like you said earlier (mocks Sugar Star) No need to be so formal, alicorns are royalty, not pegasi. And besides.."

"Your mom is a queen." Gemma whispers to her friend

"Yeah.." The young pegasus says

Cadence Laughs a bit "Thank you for being formal Gemma, but now that you have introduced yourself just call me whatever you please."

"Ok your High- I mean... Sugar’s Mom" Gemma says nervously

Sugar Star and Cadence giggle

Cadence smiles "Well you two can go play, I need to talk to Shining Armor for a bit."

"Okay mommy!"

Shining Armor and Cadence are talking behind a closed door in the crystal castle

"Hmm what do you think they're talking about?" Gemma asks as she turns her head towards Sugar Star

"I don't know let's find out!" Sugar answers with an excited voice

They both go closer to the door to listen

Meanwhile In the room where Shining Armor and Cadence are...

"Shining?" Cadence says

"Yes Cadence?" He asks

Cadence looks at him with a strange look "Do you think we should teach Sugar how to protect The Empire as we are teaching Flurry?"

"I don’t know… Sugar Star doesn’t have… You know.." He replies in a nervous voice

"What?... A horn?.. Magic?" Cadence says with an annoyed tone of voice

"Yeah… And besides she isn’t going to inherit the throne like Flurry Heart." He says

"I know. I know… But maybe-" She replies

Shining Armor cuts her off his wife "Cadence, Flurry Heart is a strong, though and very capable pony but.. Sugar Star isn’t strong enough to fight, and she never will be. She’ll likely end up bringing papers place to place from Canterlot to here, or be at her sisters side but she will never be strong enough to hold a big meaning on Equestria not on her own."

"Are you seriously picking favorites between our beloved daughters?!" Cadence says in a fairly angry tone

Shining Armor looks surprised but then gets a bit frusturated "Of course not! I’m just stating facts that.. Sugar Star isn’t strong enough to be a ruler like her sister!"

"I can’t believe you Shining Armor!" She yells at him

"Look.. I just.." He starts saying

But Cadence doesn’t listen to him instead she storms out of room, and when she opens the door see’s Gemma, and Sugar sitting right outside the door, eavesdropping, and Sugar Star has the saddest eyes full of tears

Sugar Star puts her head into Gemma’s side to cry

"WOW! You are some nice parents you know that?!" Gemma says in an angry tone

Cadence looks surprised to see them, but a bit mad as well "Y-You girls shouldn’t have been listening to us"

"But Daddy is right… I’m not strong enough to be like Flurry Heart I’ll NEVER be strong enough! I’m not even a real princess! I’m just a.. a stupid Pegasus!" Sugar Star says while crying

Flurry arrives, slowly walking towards them and says "Mom I couldn’t find-... Sugar Star are you okay? Why are you crying?" she says in a conserned tone

"NO! I’M NOT OKAY!" Sugar yells

Sugar takes off running

Flurry looks very worried and angry "Uhh mind telling me what happened here?!"

Why don’t you just ask the crystal king and queen?! They know all about it! It's entirely their fault!!! Gemma says angrily
and than she goes running after Sugar Star

"What did you guys do?!" Flurry says, confronting her parents

"I didn't do anything" Cadence says

Shining Armor lies and adds "Neither did I"

Flurry has a very angry face expression "Well clearly you did!"

"Look, Your father said she wasn’t strong enough to be as good as you and that she never will be, and well... Sugar.. She was.. Listening to us talking and ran off, then you arrived" Cadence answers

"And what about the other filly?" Flurry heart asks

Cadence smiles "Oh.. that’s her new friend Gemma."

"Well at least me and Gemma are on Sugars side." Flurry says in a rather calm voice

"now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to comfort my little sister!" she adds in an Angry tone

She walks away with very loud Hoof Steps

:(

Chapter 4 - a blessing or a curse?

Gental Hoof Steps by Flurry Heart as she reacthes Sugar Star's door and knocks on it

"Go away!" Sugar yells as she heres the knock on her bedroom door

"It's me, Flurry Heart, can I come in?" Flurry replies

Sugar sighs and says "I guess so"

Flurry opens the door to her little sisters bedroom and starts looking around"

"Where's your friend?"

"Her mommy called.. She had to go back home" Sugar answers, not even looking up

"Oh.. I see.." Flurry says as she goes to sit next to Sugar Star on her bed

Flurry gently puts her hoof on Sugar Star's shoulder "Sugar… are you ok?"

"What do you think?!" She yells, looking at her sister with an angry look in her eyes

"Ok.. wrong question" Flurry replies

Sugar star starts to cry more, stuffing her face onto her pillow

Flurry looks at her little sister with concern, she closes her eyes and softly sighs "Look Sugar, I know mom and dad really upset you, and I understand why but I don't really think they meant it"

"Sure, and dad totally didn’t yell that you were better than me…" she says in a sarcastic tone as she rolls her eyes

"They really didn't mean to hurt you, and you shouldn’t have been eves-" Flurry starts to say until suddenly she stops talking as the young alicorn notices that tears are beginning to stream down the little filly’s face

Sugar Star lift her head from the pillow to talk to her sister face to face, as she starts talking louder "And even if I wasn’t eavesdropping it wouldn’t have made a difference! They still said that I was stupid and useless!"

"I know what you heard wasn't pleasant but you just have to ignore it! You aren't any less special than me" Flurry Heart replies

"Of course I’m less special than you Flurry! You’re an alicorn! Not only that, but you're the first born which makes you like super powerful, you were born to inherit the throne of the crystal empire as the future crystal queen and you have everything it takes to be a great ruler! While I’m just a plain old pegasus with a crown… a crown I don't even deserve!" Sugar yells as she takes off crown and throws it across the room, and some of the gems crack

Flurry looks very shocked and a bit angry, she rays her tone of voice "Sugar you ARE a princess!"

"I was born as one! Just because you’re born something doesn’t mean you are!" Sugar replies in anger

"It does mean that! You're what you are! And there's nothing you can do about it! You have responsibilities, you're a princess Sugar! It's time you started acting like one!" The elder sister yells as she storms out of her younger siblings bedroom

Sugar Star starts crying again and then starts yelling at her sister from a far, while she's crying "And you’re my older sister! You should start acting like it!"

she starts crying some more and slowly lays back on her bed and talks to herself saying " why can't things be like before, the way they used to be"

After a few hours of crying.. Sugar Star slowly gets off her bed and walks towards the mirror in her room, as she starts looking at herself she opens up her wings and looks and them, then suddenly the frown on her face becomes a wide grin, sort of like a satisfied smirk

"There's only one pony how can take this curse away from me!" She says as she runs out of her bedroom
