Twilight Sparkle has always been a normal person, if a bit smarter than most fillies her age. She loved her parents, she loved her brother, and she loved her teacher, Princess Celestia. She was always curious, wanting to learn everything there was to know about anything she could. So when she received a letter from Princess Celestia to be her personal student, she was much more than a little excited. But when she found out what her lessons would be, she began to wonder if the answers to her questions were really worth the effort.
