Dawn's new day.

As Celestia raised the sun the day after her school finished testing, she couldn't help but get distracted from today's duties and focus on yesterday. Once comfortable behind her desk she puled out a specific test that had been on her mind instead of todays agenda.

"Not a single answer wrong, and that Earth pony spell of Clover's was something even I, an Alicorn, can’t pull off without my earth pony magic, let alone something a unicorn foal should be able to do." She flipped through the pages, "He answered some of these questions regarding social situations with some unique problem solving. Even twilight's answers, while correct, were logical and by the book, though Her hatching a dragon egg and that surge wasn't nothing."

Celestia set down the Test of the unique colt to look at the picture of herself, Twilight, and a baby dragon that Twilight had named Spike. After rubbing her temples with her hooves she looked at another test she had received once the teachers had finished the initial grading, "Starlight Glimmer also had a nearly perfect score and the strength of her magic pool is also equal to Twilight's. I may need to keep a closer eye on my school the next few years." She set the test aside and poured herself a cup of tea. "Perhaps," Her musing was interrupted by a knock on her door.

"Enter."

"Excuse me princess, your breakfast is ready. Would you like it here in your study or in the dining room?"

"Here is fine Feather Duster," the pegasus maid bowed then quickly but perfectly set out breakfast on the central coffee table using only her wings. Once finished she bowed again. "Anything else princess?"

"No, thank you Feather, it looks perfect," Celestia said with a warm smile as she got comfortable on one of the large cushions around the table. Once her maid had left she picked up her fork and moaned in delight at her first bite of coffee cake, her earlier thoughts all but forgotten. "I'll have to add this to the list of things for Lulu to try," She let out a sorrowful sigh.

Twilight Sparkle had her nose in a book as a baby dragon gummed her tail, his new favorite chew-toy. On any typical day this would not concern her dam but today she had three more books than noral floating around her as the same baby dragon playfully batted at them. Eventually Twilight Velvet broke the silence. "Sweetie, are you ok? Your father is almost finished with breakfast." The filly Twilight grumbled but did not respond while Spike gurgled happily inadvertently letting go of his chew-toy.

After another few moments the Mare Twilight huffed and grabbed all the books in her own magic causing the younger unicorn to exclaim loudly, "Hey I was reading those!" Quickly following up with "sorry." when she noticed it was her dam.

"Young lady you know I support your love of reading as much as your sire but what has you so invested? After your test no less?" She magicked the books back onto the proper book shelves, ones that took up most of the living room. "Not to mention you are ignoring Spike and the princess told you to watch over him."

"I know but,"

"No Buts young filly," Her dam chided but then relented. "Now what's wrong?"

"It's this colt, he."

Velvet cut her off quickly. "Oh my gosh Night Light did you just hear that, our filly is thinking about a colt."

"So long as I eventually get grand foals." He yelled from the kitchen.

"Dad, Mom!" Sparkle whined and her magic surged a bit, "Not like that! He just preformed some magic that Makes NO Sense. I mean he didn't even light his horn and yet all these flowers grew. Not to mention he finished the written test before me. Me mom, yet I'm supposed to be the princesses personal student, and...." She was starting to hyperventilate so her dam, turning serious, had her preform the breathing exercises Cadence had taught them all. Once calm Sparkle grabbed Spike in her forelegs and hugged him like a stuffed animal for comfort, Spike for his part relished in the attention.

Before The conversation could go further, Night Light called out that Breakfast was ready and they all gathered around to eat.

Pinkie was happy, today was the day. She was finally setting out on her own for her new apprenticeship In Ponyville. She had found an advert for 'Help wanted' at the towns bakery when her family passed through and would now be going to school and learning all about how to bake. Oh I cant wait to make new friends. A strange shiver ran across Equestria, felt by all but noticed by few.
