Twilight smiled widely “I can do magic!”

Sunset sighed as she put her clawed hand on Twilight’s shoulder “Be careful with your magic. I can teach you more about how it works but don’t try to experiment with it on your own. You don’t want to wipe all of humanity do you?”

Twilight shivered “I could do that.”

Aria deadpanned “Quite easily actually, the world in which we come from the Sun and Moon are moved by magic. Everyone here, especially Sunset could easily control the sun.”

Gilda blinked “Wait what do you mean especially Sunset, what makes her different from the rest of us?”

Sonata giggled “Ponies have marks on their flanks that dictate their destiny, that symbol on her book is the symbol she has. I’m sure all aware what that symbol represents.”

Applejack raised an eyebrow at Sunset “Why haven’t you tried to do that?”

Rainbow’s eyes narrowed “Did you just ask that Applejack? I am not the brightest tool in the shed but I am pretty confident that the sun orbiting the planet will cause a great deal of problems in the Solar System.”

Adagio rubbed her forehead as she muttered “It seems need to revise that list later.”

Sunset frowned as she cast a spell and a book of magic appeared in her claws “This is my personal magic book from back home, you seem the studious type so go home and practice. Just any dangerous spells you will need to find a large open space to use them.”

Twilight smiled “Well thank you for showing me this, oh there’s so much research to do.” The girls shrugged as they decided to relax at the local mall.

Twilight returned home, her mother Twilight Velvet frowned “Twilight you were gone for a while.”

Twilight smiled “Well some girls were assisting me in my research and…”

Velvet cheered excitedly as she wrapped Twilight in a mighty hug “Twilight I’m so proud of you, you’ve finally made some friends!”

Twilight rolled her eyes “I suppose so, they treat me better than most kids at school do. Still I have got some studying to do, they gave me a new book.”

Velvet realised the vice like grip and her daughter ran up stairs, she spent the rest of the day reading the book and getting a better grasp on magical theory. The next morning she woke up in her room, there were several bookshelves in the room and a small computer desk as well.

Twilight yawned “Good morning Spike.”

Spike yapped at her heels, she carefully hid him in her bag alongside a few books. After getting dressed she walked down the stairs and smiled as she ate breakfast. One thing she was definitely happy about as she sat at the dining table was that her mother wasn’t pestering her to make friends, she dug into her breakfast of bacon and eggs. She smiled at her mother “Thank you mum.”

Her mother smiled as her daughter left home “Your welcome.”

After a quick bus ride she arrived at the entrance of the school, she sighed as walked the huge prep school building in front of her. She was not sure if going to Crystal Prep was actually the right choice, it was a school for education but most of students glared her in the hallways. She hid Spike in her personal lab full of strange gadgets and devices.

She then walked through the halls as every other student glared at her, she did however see one friendly face “Dean Cadence!”

Cadence smiled “I heard you made some friends” she then sighed “Principal Cinch wants us to meet with you.”

Twilight frowned “Is this about the Friendship Games, I have made it very clear that I am not interested.”

Cadence grimaced “Cinch wanted to meet with you personally to see if you could convince you otherwise. I’m not happy about it either I’m afraid.”

The two entered the room and Cadence stood beside the door watching with worry. Twilight took a seat and soon the chair swung around. Principal Cinch frowned as the door closed revealing Shining Armour behind it, Twilight looked at Cinch in confusion “Why is my brother here?”

Cinch frown deepened “You see, as an Alumni of the school I was hoping he could provide a unique perspective on the Friendship Games.” She then turned to him “You competed in the previous Friendship Games did you not?”

Shining Armour smirked “I did and we won as we always do.”

Cinch grimaced “Twilight, I’m going to be blunt with you. It’s not a matter of whether Crystal Prep wins or loses, it is the fact that we have reputation to uphold. One that means we are expected to win and Canterlot High’s test scores, grades and even athletics are on the rise. They are developing a reputation and we must put a stop to this at these games.”

Twilight exclaimed “I can’t just drop everything for the games, I have important work to…”

Cinch turned to Cadence and Shining Amour with a cold look “Cadence, Shining Armour may I request that you retrieve my contact sheet for the Everton Independent Study Program.”

They both shuddered as they had seen that look before and quickly evacuated terror plastered across their faces as the door slammed behind them. Cinch’s eyes narrowed at Twilight “I understand you have applied for Everton Study Program, you see I have a great amount of sway due my reputation. As such I could very easily fast track your application, or I could have it denied.”

Twilight was a smart girl and new exactly what that meant, she was furious that this woman was trying to ruin her future. Her eyes glowed white as her temper flared a huge eruption of power exploding outwards as Cinch ‘s scream was overshadowed by the sound of the explosion. Cadence and Shining returned only to see Twilight unconscious on the ground and the room in shambles as a skeleton lay in pieces scattered across the room.

Author's Note

Twilight had a magic flare triggered by anger, she only just got it after all. Also unlike the others it's not Harmony based magic.
