My little pony:Adventure of Seresia

The School of Friendship, a place that every creature in Equestria dreams of attending. Here, you can make new friends and learn the true essence of friendship. However, with the increasing diversity of species, it’s inevitable that conflicts arise from differences in lifestyle or culture. Whenever this happens, students either try to understand each other or choose to write a letter explaining their situation and submit it to the school's leadership—Starlight Glimmer is the one who handles such matters.

Today, like any other day, Starlight was in the principal's office, overwhelmed by the endless tasks of mediating student conflicts. Trixie was there with her as well.

"The Great and Po-po-po-powerful Trixie is about to faint from hunger! When are you going to be done?" Trixie complained, sprawled out on the couch. She shifted her position, trying to relieve her numb hooves. She couldn't remember how long she had been sitting there, and all she wanted was for the lavender unicorn in front of her to stop her "ridiculous" work and go out with her to dinner, as they had planned.

"I'm really sorry, Trixie. Just give me a little more time—I’m almost finished," Starlight replied, poking her head out from behind a mountain of paperwork, trying to soothe Trixie. But even she knew this was just a stalling tactic, one that didn’t provide much comfort. The stack of student letters was driving Starlight crazy, and she wanted to finish them as soon as possible so she could finally rest and keep her promise to Trixie. But ever since Twilight gave the role of principal, Starlight had fully experienced what "Twilight’s mania" was all about. She had learned firsthoof that plans never go as expected.

"You've said ‘almost done’ several times already, Starlight. You know what, ever since you became principal, we’ve spent less and less time together… Every time it’s the same. I sit on this couch waiting for you, or just when we’re about to leave, something comes up—a student or an emergency—and you run straight back to the office. Trixie is going to lose her mind from your behavior!" Starlight knew Trixie was right, and she could only muster an awkward, polite smile in response.

"I order you to stop your work right now and go out for a nice meal with Trixie, followed by a long, relaxing night in bed. Tomorrow, you can deal with these ‘minor’ friendship issues." Trixie stretched out the word "minor" for extra emphasis.

"Trixie, you know I can’t do that. These friendship issues are not as ‘minor’ as you think. If handled poorly, they could lead to major conflicts between species. I can’t take that risk!" Starlight explained.

"Listen to yourself! You're starting to sound more and more like Twilight, you know?" Trixie propped her chin on her hooves, lying on the couch with a teasing tone.

"What?! No, that’s not true! That’s absolutely not true!!! I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong, that’s all," Starlight blushed, trying to come up with a response. Trixie raised her eyebrows in disdain.

"Yeah, right. That sentence sounded exactly like Twilight’s catchphrase, especially the part about ‘making sure nothing goes wrong,’" Trixie said, waving her hooves dramatically in the air.

"Hi~ I am Starlight Glimmer ~~ the new principal of the School of Friendship ~~and I love spreading the magic of friendship! Come join us!" Trixie mimicked Starlight’s voice and even styled her mane to look like hers, doing a rather uncanny impression of Twilight.

"Hey!" Starlight, embarrassed and a little angry, levitated a small stuffed toy given to her by a student and flung it at Trixie, who quickly dodged to the side. But before the toy could reach her, a sudden ripple in the air appeared, followed by the sound of magic flickering. A pony materialized right between Starlight and Trixie, and the toy struck her right in the face, knocking her to the ground.

"Twilight Sparkle?!" Starlight and Trixie shouted in unison, recognizing the purple alicorn lying on the floor, her face hidden beneath the toy.

"Uh… what happened?" Twilight groggily stood up, rubbing her head, clearly disoriented from the unexpected impact.

"Are you alright?" Starlight jumped up from her chair and rushed to Twilight's side to help her up, while Trixie stayed on the couch, showing little concern and even a bit of amusement. "I… I’m fine. Did I interrupt something?"

"Of course not…" Starlight began, but she was cut off by Trixie, who was clearly impatient. "You didn’t interrupt anything at all, except Trixie waiting for Starlight to finish her ‘friendship business’ so she can fulfill her promise and take me out for a treat. So, unless it’s an emergency, can you wait until we’re done?"Trixie muttered, hooves clasped to her chest as if she was already guessing the reason for Twilight's sudden appearance, which she obviously didn't want to appreciate despite Starlight's gesture with her eyes.

"I’m really sorry, Trixie, but I need Starlight to come with me immediately," Twilight said with an apologetic yet firm tone.

"What happened? Why is it so urgent?" Starlight asked, confused.

"It’s complicated. I’ll explain on the way," Twilight replied. Before Starlight could react, Twilight grabbed her hoof, and with a flash of magic, they vanished in front of Trixie.

"Hey!!! Give Starlight back! She promised to take me for treats…"

"Whoa!!" Starlight barely had time to process what had happened before she found herself in a small room filled with books. Dizzy from the sudden teleportation, she almost lost her balance, but luckily, Spike rushed over to steady her, gently patting her back.

"First time being teleported by Twilight, huh?" Spike asked with a grin.

"Ugh… Not exactly, but I wasn’t expecting it."

"What’s going on, Twilight? Why did you need me so urgently?" Starlight asked, still a bit disoriented.

"You won’t believe this, Starlight.... Chrysalis... has escaped!!!" Twilight announced.

"What?!" Starlight stared at Twilight in disbelief. "That’s impossible! You must be joking!"

"I know it’s hard to believe, Starlight…" Twilight said, her voice filled with frustration. "We think Chrysalis was broken out by somepony. The Canterlot guards found this magic circle beneath her statue. Do you recognize it?"

Starlight examined the diagram of the magic circle in silence, causing Twilight to grow anxious. She wanted to say something but was afraid of interrupting Starlight’s train of thought, so she sat in her chair, fidgeting restlessly.

"I’ve got it!!!" Starlight suddenly shouted, excitement filling her voice, startling Spike, who fell off the desk, and causing Twilight to jump up and rush over to her.

"What? What is it?! Where is this magic circle from?"

"If I remember correctly, this is a magical array from the East, known as the ‘Ju Ling Array.’"
