Ponyville 3:30pm

In the streets of Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle was seen making her way back to her home while going past many other students who were heading back to their homes as well. While walking, Twilight was squeezing through the crowd of students, by going through the opened spaces. During the process, she did bump into a couple of students which resulted in them shooting her indignant glances which she immediately apologized for. After a minute, Twilight has successfully pushed herself to the front of the crowd, turning left on the sidewalk in the process while the other went past the intersection.

"Phew, that was a bit rough." Twilight said as she wiped off a batch of sweat from her forehead "Claustrophobia scares me sometimes." She told herself. But, she shook the anxiety out of her head and began to make her way back home.

Twilight Sparkle was seen walking down the sidewalk past some stallions and mares as well as some male and female changelings who were probably returning from their work. She also encountered a male changeling and a mare police officer patrolling the streets too with batons, pepper sprays and cuffs in their belts which intimidated her because, she has heard that Ponyville is the town with high police presence.

After passing shopping centres and restaurants, Twilight has reached the pedestrian crossing that she crossed during her run to her school, and it was once again filled with ponies and changelings on carriages with horses pulling them.

"Again?" Twilight asked with an incredulous expression while staring at the carriages passing by "Guess I'll have to cross the same way again." She told herself in an irked tone.

So, Twilight once again began to cross the pedestrian crossing while going left and right through the open spaces moving carriages. And her progress was going in an auspicious manner.

However, during her walk, Twilight got a bit dehydrated due to her not drinking enough water at school.

"Ugh, I need some water." She told herself. So, she activated her horn and levitated her water bottle off of the water bottle pocket area of her backpack. After that, she twisted the cap off and began drinking the water in a pleasant manner with her eyes closed.

However, her satisfying session was put to a close when Twilight accidentally bumped into someone which instantly made her choke out the water in her muzzle. After five seconds, Twilight wiped the water off her lips and looked at who she bumped into. When she did, her eyes widened in horror because, in front of her was the same stallion police officer that she inadvertently bumped into during her run to her school.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Twilight apologized while bowing her head multiple times.

"Be cautious next time otherwise, I will issue you a warning letter." The police officer warned her "Understood?" He asked.

"Yes sir." Twilight said in an anxious tone.

"Now scram little mare." He ordered her.

Twilight nodded and scurried away from the police officer, tucking her closed water bottle back into her backpack's bottle pocket area. It would be a very unlucky and petrifying day for her if she gets a warning letter from the Ponyville police force during her first day of school.

"Sheesh, are all police officers in Ponyville this menacing?" Twilight asked herself quietly.

After a brief moment, Twilight has successfully made it past the pedestrian crossing. Then, she turned to her left and began to walk down the sidewalk to where she will make a right turn then reach her house.

After twenty seconds of running, Twilight has reached the end of the sidewalk, she turned to her right and saw her home fifty centimetres in front of her.

She smiled in delight and ran to her house. Ten seconds later, Twilight turned herself to her right and faced the front door of her house.

"Home sweet home." Twilight said with a sigh. After that, she walked up the steps of the house and knocked on the door.

"Coming!" Said Velvet from inside the house.

A brief second later, the door in front of Twilight was pulled open, and she saw her mother.

"Welcome back sweetie!"

"Thank you mom." Twilight said with a smile.

Then, Velvet stepped aside and Twilight went through the door and into her house. After that, she instantly ran to the staircase of her house. Once she got to it, she began to climb up the stairs to her bedroom where she will put down her backpack.

"Wow, she sure is full of energy." Velvet commented with a nonplussed expression.

Once Twilight was on the second floor, she walked to her bedroom door and gripped onto the handle with her magic. After that, she pushed her door open and entered, then, she walked up to her studying desk and placed her backpack on the floor next to the chair.

"Alright, time for me to take a shower." Twilight told herself.

So, Twilight turned around and walked out of her bedroom. After that, she began to make her way to her bathroom to take a shower to clean herself. Once she got to the door, she turned the door knob with her right hoof and entered.

Four minutes later

Twilight Sparkle has been showering herself for four minutes now, and during the shower, she hummed a few tunes and closed her eyes in a delighted way like she always does when taking a shower. Five seconds later, Twilight grabbed a soap bar and rubbed it all over her body, after that, she placed the soap bar back on the holder and began to wash the bubbles off of her.

Ten seconds later, Twilight has finished washing the bubbles off of her body. She then pushed the shower mixer loop handle down and water ceased to run down from the rain shower.

After that, Twilight slid the curtains to the right and levitated her towel towards her. Once she brought the towel towards her, she began to dry herself with it.

Ten seconds later, Twilight was finished drying herself with her towel. She then placed it back on the hanger next to her brother's towel. After that, she walked out of the shower and walked to the mirror of the bathroom. Once she got to it, Twilight looked down and pulled open a drawer which had the hair blower. Then, she activated her horn and levitated the hair blower out of the drawer. After that, she plugged the power plug into the power socket. And finally, she turned on the power and began to blow her hair in attempt to dry it.

Back in the living room, Nightlight was seen returning back to his home after his work in his new office. His wife welcomed him back with a kiss to his cheek, and he returned the gesture with a nuzzle.

"Welcome back honey."

"Thank you Velvet." Nightlight said with a smile.

Before the Velvet could ask her husband how his work was, she heard some noises coming from the staircase.

The two unicorns looked at the stairs and saw their daughter Twilight on the stairs, and Nightlight noticed that she was quite dry probably because she has finished taking a shower.

"Oh hello dad." Twilight greeted "My brother Shining is taking a shower as well, I just encountered him after mines." She told him.

"Very nice Twilight." Nightlight said with a smile towards her "Anyways, come sit at the dinning table please, I want to know how your first day of school went." He told her.

Twilight hesitated a little when she heard this, she has encountered some conflicts as well as some hiccups at her first day of school. But, she shook the fear out of her head and decided to disclose it to her father in a less traumatizing way.

"Okay father." Twilight said with a fake smile.

Then, she walked down the stairs. Once she was on the living room floor, she walked to the dinning table where her father and mother were seated. When she got to it, she pulled her chair back and sat on it. After that, her parents started to ask her about her time at school.

"Okay so Twilight, how was your first day at your new school?" Nightlight asked.

"It was fantastic!" Twilight said with a smile.

"That's wonderful!" Velvet said in a joyful manner "Did you make any friends?" She asked.

"Well... not so much." Twilight said while rubbing the back of her head.

"How so?"

"I uh... decided to focus more on my work rather than making friends." Twilight replied, she decided to not go to the topic of her being bullied then being assisted by Thorax otherwise, her parents would be so concerned and angry towards her.

"Understandable." Nightlight said with a nod "Have you met any stallion or male changeling friends?" He asked.

Twilight's eyes immediately widened when she heard her father's question, her cheeks flushed slightly too, and fortunately, her parents failed to notice. But this begs to the bigger inquiry, why in Equestria would her father ask her a question like this?! It is true that she met Thorax earlier today but, he just seems like a friend to her, even though she did admire his handsomeness.

"Uh... sorry dad, I have homework." Twilight told him. After that, she stood up from her chair and walked to the staircase of her house. Once she got to it, she began to run upstairs. Leaving her parents very bewildered.

"Was it something I asked?" Nightlight asked his wife with a perplexed expression.

When Twilight got upstairs, she ran to her bedroom door and pushed it open. After that, she entered and ran to her bed. Once she got to it, she jumped in the air and landed face first onto her bed with her face on her pillow.

"Ugh! Why does my dad have to ask me something like that?!" Twilight muffled into her pillow in aggravation.
