Hey Guys :D

So I've got over 170 views ( Love ya ;) ) but not a single review, please tell me what you think, peace!

It had been 10 years since the examination day. Clover had tried to recreate the effect of the alicorns, but it had always ended with two broken rocks, and Clover's unanswered questions. The princess Twilight had no ideas either about what her cutie mark meant. However, Clover had decided to tell the Princess's of the two Alicorns. She didn't understand but the experience was personal to her, and she didn't want to share it.

As it turned out, no pony in the exam room saw the two figures made from the rock dust, however Clover didn't mind. It was her secret. But that still didn't tell her what her cutie mark meant.

But 10 years on, and her studies continued. Her knowledge of ancient runes was practically complete, her magical ability was astonishing, and she could brew almost every potion she wanted, so long as she had a manual.

Clovers eldest brother, Markus was in the crystal empire, studying crystal weather patterns, while here other older brother Ferris was in Cloudsdale, an apprentice to an inventor, and yet her mother and father had stayed in Canterlot with Clover.

She still wore her coat, and still the only ponies that knew her identity was her personal royal guard Lancer, her close family, the royal doctor, and the two princesses', which Clover was personally ok with. She didn't appreciate the idea of being stared at.

Little did Clover know that was all about to change.

It was just before her usual lesson with the Princess, when her mother, father and the princess walked in. Clover bowed trotted nervously over to the trio of ponies.

"Clover," The princess started, "You have been an outstanding pupil to me over these years. However your training is not complete. Do you know what I am the princess of Clover?" She asked.

Clover almost scoffed,

"Friendship and magic princess," She replied dutifully.

"Correct. You have more magical ability that any other pony I have met. However, that is not all there is to magic. There is also the magic of friendship."

Clover nodded. In the past, when she sometimes went to the occasional lesson in with the students of Celestia's School for Gifted Fillies, she tried with all her might to make friends, like the princess asked but, once the rest of the fillies learnt of her private tutoring with Princess Twilight, they grew envious and left her.

"Yes Princess," She replied.

She suddenly looked over to see her parents embracing, smiling sadly at her. Clover suddenly grew worried, what would she have to do?

The purple princess sighed.

"Clover, I want you to know that it has been a pleasure to teach you. However, I cannot teach you in this magic. Clover, I and your parent have spoke, and we both believe that it is now time for you to leave Canterlot."

Clover froze. Leave Canterlot? Her home?

"Clover," Her mother chipped in "We want you to make new friends, but I and your Father can't come with you." She finished sadly.

"What?! Why!" Clover demanded, angry that her parents were springing his upon her.

"Your Mother and I are getting older now Clover. As are you." Her Father stated "You need your own place to breathe, but you can visit anytime you like." He added optimistically.

"B-but were will I go? I've never left Canterlot." Clover stammered

"We have arranged or you to stay in your own cloud house in Cloudsdale." Princess Twilight replied coolly, "we have also decided to make your presence known to the ponies of Equestria."

This was the most shocking piece of news yet. Ponies would finally know of a new alicorn.

There was a short silence.

"When do I leave?" Clover said quickly looking up.

"Two weeks, good luck my pupil." She bowed, and walked out of the door.
