Master Apprentice

A young purple filly ran away from her brother giggling, "You'll never catch me!" she yelled. "Yes I will Twilight Sparkle" her brother, Shining Armor, yelled happily. He chased her through the forest, where Twilight tripped over a stump. "Tag!" Shining Armor yelled, and touched Twilight with his hoof. She got up and started to chase him out of the woods, then using her magic she pulled him backwards and giggled out a muffled "Tag!!!" and touched his back. "Hey, that's cheating!!" "No it isn't!" "Let's see how you like it them" and Shining Armor pulled her back and tagged her. "Tag!" he yelled. "Hey!" she yelled, and began to chase away Shining Armor.

Two proud parents watched from the porch of their nice sub-urban house in a 1 horse town. "You know sweetie, she got her use of magic from you! What other 5 year old filly could use her magic like she just did." Teether, Twillight's father, said smiling. Drizzle smiled, but attempted to cover it with her hood, "But Shining dear takes just after your competition side!" she said, unable to hide her smile this time. Teether rolled his eyes. "You know Teether, it's been awhile since they've played ponyball." Drizzle said, and began to giggle wildly. "No..no..I will not" "Oh come on T!" Drizzle's giggling made it hard to hear her words.

Teether got out a ball and yelled "Do you two want to play ponyball?" Twilight froze right behind Shining Armor, who also froze. Both silently tweaked around and bounced toward the ball, ready to do whatever it took to get to the ball. Teether tried to run back in time, but was attacked as well when the two young ponies tried to fight over the ball. There was a cloud of dust as Teether galloped out of the cloud, hid clothes dirt soaked. Drizzle fell on the ground with laughter, her nose contorting in and out as she tried to breath through her laughing.

When Shining Armor officialy won the ball, they decided to go play something different in the front yard, followed by Drizzle. Teether had gone inside so he could "wash up". Drizzle kept herself to her thoughts as her children began to play their tag game again. She watched, both had none of their fathers' cleanliness aspect. Both of them ran around the yard while Teether came out once more through the front door, and sat down beside his wife.

"So no magic?" Twilight asked Shining Armor as she began to look toward her direction "Yep'!" Shining Armor said and began to chase Twilight around the front yard. Twilight ran straight toward the berry bush in their front yard, and hid inside the bush. Shining Armor jumped in after her, only to find her gone. Twilight ran back up to a leaf pile and jumped into the leaf pile, she was such a tiny filly it made no noise and didn't push around much leaves. She dug down and covered her path. She was under leaves, but touched the ground. She used her magic, and she created a small forcefield dome that rendered her invisible, while also pushing leaves of her. She stayed their for and hour. "Alright, where are you? I give up!" Shining Armor yelled. Twilight took off the spell and jumped out of the leaves giggling. "Hey, Twilight, that isn't fair!" "Why? You only said you weren't allowed to use magic!" "I meant you too!"

Teether and Drizzle motioned for their kids to come in, it would be dark soon. Shining Armor and Twilight pushed at each other and yelled at each other, but then laughed hard. They were the best siblings ever. Both walked inside, and ate something quick for dinner. Drizzle and Teether walked out into the hallway. "I think Twilight should go." Teether proposed to his wife. "To see Celestia rise the sun? You think she's ready?" Drizzle asked, she wasn't very strict of a parent but for Twilight to see Celestia for the first time was a different matter "She doesn't know that she's Celestia's her aunt Teether!" "So, she should know! It might inspire her Sweetiepoo!" Drizzle's nose contorted back in disgust at the word 'sweetiepoo', "fine LoveyDuckyWovey" she said. Shining and Twilight laughed at their mother so hard they spit out their dinner. "That's enough you two!" she said, and they both were sent to bed.

Twilight lay in bed, thinking about Celestia. She had never seen the role model herself, but everything she heard about her was quite impressive. Her parents would sometimes talk about Celestia at dinner time "She says Luna is still caught, and I say I believe her. I still think she's evil though Teethie dear, do you think we should still be careful over it?" "Drizzle, of course. Think about the Enchantress!" "Oh, she's an old mares tale." then the conversation would drift of into weather and politics. She would always be loyal and faithful to the ruler, even if she never saw her for her entire life.

Slowly Twilight drifted of to sleep, dreaming about her ruler and what she may look like.
