Sup Everypony, Conor Colton here! Well here it is, I said I would do it and here it is. Hope you guys enjoy reading it, because I certainly enjoyed making it * I also want to thank PhilTheTimeWizard for all his positive encouragement ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Little Filly: Twilight Sparkle It was a warm summers day in Canterlot when a couple arrived home from the hospital, carrying with them a little filly wrapped up in a soft blanket. And that filly was little Twilight Sparkle. Twilight’s parents brought her into the nursery that they had prepared for her arrival. All across the walls were painted stars, moons and suns and over the cot floated a mobile adorned with small celestial symbols like planets and stars . The floor was riddled with various toys, all lying on a soft purple rug. Twilight’s parents set her down in her small cot and took off the blanket she was wrapped in and placed it over her. Little Twilight Sparkle rested her head upon the soft cot mattress and began to open her eyes for the first time, staring up at her parents for them to see her innocent violet eyes. Twilight’s father went into the living room and took an old musty book off of the bookshelf and proceeded into Twilight’s room, with Twilight’s mother staring at her new daughter still smiling as she did the entire way home. Twilight’s father brought the book over to the cot and Twilight eyes lit up as she saw the old musty tome. She lifted her little hooves up into the air waving them around frantically, hoping in vain that she might reach the book. Twilight’s parents responded and brought the book closer, opening it to reveal the contents within. This book was a family history book, it contained all sorts of things of the Sparkle family lineage, diaries, photographs, stories all kinds of things. Twilight held the book in front of herself, with help from her parents of course. Her pupils progressively got larger as she scanned the book whilst her parents kept turning to each consecutive page. Eventually though, Twilight’s eyes began to flutter as she steadily shut them at regular intervals until she couldn’t keep her eyes open any longer and took a much deserved rest. A few months had passed and Twilight grew more everyday. She had uttered her first words and was reading almost everyday, she had gotten so accustomed to reading that she worked through all her baby books and moved onto books that were at level not even matching her age. Twilight was a smart individual and her parents knew it. She had also been showing signs of progression in magic, she could eat her breakfast every morning just using magic to levitate a spoon, she tucked her self in at night with magic, without her parents aid and she could levitate all her toys a few feet off the ground, Twilight had become a very self reliant pony. Twilight had also set herself a ‘goal’ of sorts, whenever Twilight wanted to read the family history book again, she could never get it herself and relied on her parents getting it down for her. Twilight had tried to get the book down with magic before, but the poor pony could never get a grip on it no matter how many times she tried. A few more months had passed and Twilight was to face the next milestone in her life, magic kindergarten. Her parents had more faith in her than beyond all contemplation, but Twilight didn’t feel as confident. When she was younger she had always had trouble socializing, when she would get into a conversation with another pony she would always turn the conversation towards her studies, and that led to her not having many friends, Twilight’s attitude of studies being more important than everything else led her to become a ‘creature of isolation’. Twilight knew all the material she was going to study in kindergarten before she even arrived but the pressure on her to be socially active made her nervous and not able to perform even basic magic. Her parents got concerned and asked what was wrong with her, Twilight feared that if she admitted it then she would be forced even more to be socially active so she confided in herself and didn’t dare tell another soul her problems, she frequently visited the school library in hopes to find a book that would help her understand the problem but to no avail. The next few months and eventual years were hard on Twilight, whenever she was home she wouldn’t talk to her parents as much as she used to and at school she was improving slightly day by day but that was only because she avoided most social interaction to perfect the craft of magic in the library which was usually deserted for ‘obvious reasons’. Twilight was beginning to lose her self confidence and was keeping to herself and her studies more and more. She had got herself into a daily cycle of, go to school, study, come home, study, and then sleep and this went on for a few weeks. Twilight had become a star pupil and was greatly appreciated by every teacher but the children there were not so considerate. They usually ridiculed Twilight for her larger brain power and social awkwardness and of course because of her ‘blank flank’ And anypony that wanted to make friends with Twilight were shunned away by her due to the mental stigma she had developed towards other ponies her age. More months passed and Twilight did much of the same. That was until the school had a surprise visitor, who was this you ask? Why none other than the fair Princess Celestia. She had come to address the pupils that there would be a ‘talent show’ of sorts, and that the pony that displayed the most magical ability would win a front row showing of the raising of the sun that the Princess made a formal occasion of from time to time. Twilight had always been a huge fan of the Princess and was always eager to attend any formal occasions that she was attending. The outcome seemed conclusive, everypony knew that Twilight was the star pupil and would have no trouble winning, Twilight knew this also but she couldn’t imagine herself on stage for everpony to judge and if she did she would get sick to her stomach, all the teachers and her parents encouraged her to participate but Twilight just couldn’t bring herself to do it. When the night of the talent show came she sat in the house alone wallowing in her own under confident attitude and tears. All she could do was take books from the living room shelf and scan over them, she took the books she had already read and threw them into a big pile in the corner (which was a lot by the way) She had nearly emptied the entire shelf until she stopped one book just as she was about to throw it, and what book was it she found interest in you ask? It was her family history book, without even realizing it Twilight had done what she never did before, she had got that book off of the shelf with her magic alone. She opened the book to the last entry and to her surprise it was page entitled “Twilight Sparkle” with a blank page below it and in the corner of the page was a small note from Twilight’s parents, “We know you’ll make us proud!” Twilight had stopped crying her tears of self pity, but she started crying tears of unrelenting joy, Twilight knew what she had to do. She opened a cupboard and found her old mobile and took that and the book with her as she raced out the door. The talent show was nearly over and most ponies had began to leave, until of course Twilight burst in. She flung herself onto the stage directly into the spot light, she looked over the crowd and saw both her parents and the princess. Twilight eyes watered as she levitated the book and the mobile into the air, she focused herself, and then she let it all out. She room grew dark and the stars, moons and planets from Twilight’s mobile began to multiply and fly all across the room, they glittered as if they were real stunning all who looked upon them. Twilight then took pictures of her relatives from the book and joined them with the stars, creating constellations in the shape of her past relatives, herself and of course her parents. The entire room became as if the occupants were floating around in space surrounded by Celestial bodies that they couldn’t even comprehend. Twilight however had ran out of energy, the duplicate stars, moons and planets disappeared into dust, the constellations of the Sparkle family dissipated, and the room got it’s light back. Twilight stood on stage, with watery eyes and panting like crazy as she waited for the audience response. Everypony got up and cheered, Princess Celestia stood in awe, and Twilight’s parents rushed on stage and gave Twilight an enormous hug. As they stood there with tears in their eyes they were approached by the Princess and her two guards, Twilight’s parents let go and let Twilight approach the Princess, they stared at each other, Twilight in awe and the Princess smiling. The princess gestured one of her guards with her wing, the guard pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to Twilight, it was the front row viewing ticket, Twilight had done it! She hugged her parents another time as the Princess and everpony else vacated, leaving little Twilight and her parents looking forward to the next day’s sunrise. And the rest is history........ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading, look forward to more of these in the not so distant future. Until then, I've been Conor Colton, and I wish you all the best

Ah forget it, I'm just confused now

At the end of the day, nah it really doesn't

Colton reached out and shook Rappatat's hoof and let out a friendly smile "Pleasure to meet you." Colton stated in a calm tone, he then reached into his pocket and pulled out a travellers flask filled with water, he took a swig and continued, "Sorry, I forgot to ask you your name, my apologies." Colton said as he caught himself out on his bad manners again, "So, what is your name?"

Oh thank Celestia, three was enough.....or was it four. I honestly don't know, go figure

Am I alive? Please somepony tell me I'm alive

"Thanks for the help Prof, I would love some of that right about now, I'm starving." Colton stated as he took off his coat and placed it on a hook, "So Prof, do you own this Inn or what, because I gotta say, It looks really nice." Colton said as he scanned the warm, inviting dining room. "Oh sorry, where are my manners." Colton reminded himself as he reached out a friendly hoof towards the other two ponies, "You guys know my name, but I haven't got the faintest idea who you are, sorry about that."

The inn door creaks open and a White coated pegasus with blue hair walks in, he takes down his hood for everypony to see his face. He's been travelling for ages to to reach Ponyville and now that he's here he wants to soak up as much information as he can, he walks over to everyone else and introduces himself whilst holding out a friendly hoof. " The names Colton Cloudkicker, please to meet ya."
