Tales of Friendship

Today was the day. Today was the day she went to Princess Celestia's school. The train was pulling up to a specialized station near the school, which was around the outside of Canterlot.

"And so, I think this is goodbye," Twilight said.

"This isn't goodbye, Twi. It's a 'see you later'," her mother replied.

"Yeah... you're right. I'll write you letters!"

"See you, Twi."

"Bye, mom."

The train was about to leave. Twilight boarded onto the train, and waved goodbye to her mother. She was about to begin a new chapter of her life. Her life was about to change forever.

The train ride there was quite normal. Twilight didn't talk to anypony, and she was only writing things in her journal.

"Dear journal,

Today's the day. It's my first day in Princess Celestia's school. I'm currently feeling a flurry of emotions. It's almost bittersweet to me. I'll tell you more about the college later.

She walked out of her carriage to go to the restroom, where she bumped into a unicorn mare. She had a lilac coat, with purple hair with streaks of cyan. She had brilliant blue eyes.

"Oh... uhm... I'm sorry. Let me help you with that," Twilight said, using her magic to fix the things that flew out her saddlebags.

"Oh, it's fine, I could've done that myself," the other mare had said.

"Oh, right... anyways, what's your name?"

"Starlight Glimmer. Yours?"

"Twilight Sparkle."

Twilight took a look at the stuff the other mare had brought. Scrolls, books, and books. Wait, did she say books twice? Well, she wasn't wrong. Starlight had brought a ton of books. It seemed like she was studying magic, too. Twilight decided not to ask Starlight if she studied magic.

They parted and did not see each other for the rest of the trip.
