Master Apprentice

Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.~Benjamin Franklin

Twilight awoke in the morning, and pulled her face off of her book. She looked forward and saw the sun already up. It was already 8:00 in the morning! Her appointment at Celestia's castle was in an hour. Twilight brushed her hair with magic, washed up with magic, and finally cleansed her teeth by magic. She went off with her parents, and Shining Armor stayed home creating and destroying leaf piles. Twilight's stomach churned, and she was sweaty. She blinked and took deep breaths.

Twilight walked into a small circular room, where 4 judges sat there waiting for someone actually good to come. There was a dragon's egg sitting on a small nest on a table. This was an official day of importance, she must hatch the egg. Easy enough. She walked up and announced to the judges "Hello, I am Twilight Sparkle" and she turned around and lit up her horn.

Her nervousness clenched her magic, she almost hatched the small freckled egg. "Ugh" she moaned. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and saw a flash of rainbow. She lost control of her magic. Her parents turned into objects, so did the judges, the dragon hatched and turned giant and then back to tiny. When Twilight finally stopped, her parents & the judges were back to normal, she fell to the ground.

Celestia strode in casually, and walked to Twilight. Twilight feared her rejection, though she knew she deserved it. She had torn a hole in the roof of Celestia's castle, and her judges into objects. "You have very wonderful magic Twilight Sparkle, magic very hard to obtain I hardly even have that strong of magic. I would like you to be my own personal pupil." she leaned down to her and pointed toward my hip "and something else" she started. She looked back slowly "MY CUTIE MARK!!! WOOT!! Oh thank you Celestia!" She yelled and ran up and embraced the princess. She hugged her back, and leaned down and whispered her something, a secret she was told to keep. So she did.

Twilight ran off to her parents, who took her outside to teleport and congragulate her.

Celestia looked toward the judges "She had to far of magical abilities at age 5. She needs help to control them, so they don't make her completely insane. I need your word that you will look after her and make sure she makes friends when I send her to Ponyville after about 10 more years of training, for that is essential. I won't live forever, and I need a girl to stay in the royal blood. She doesn't know I am  her aunt or that if Candace doesn't marry she will become queen. I need to keep that from her, she needs to live a normal life and not go insane with power. Do I have your word?"

All the judges nodded to Celestia. "Good heavens then, I must go and prepare for 10 years of training with an overly powerful young filly who's first lesson is tommorow."

The judges watched her stride out with wonder. She was so casual, yet so buisness like. Her elegant hair followed her out the door.
