“Hey, hey Silv, watch this!”

“NOVA, THE SHED!!”

*CRASH*

“...or what use to be a shed...”

“..ooooh....groan...”

Introduction to the Magic Camp

“Welcome to Equestria's one and only magic camp! A lovely place for young unicorns to come and practice magic. We offer many activities to interest any fun-loving filly or colt; here you will learn all types of magic from gardening to defending yourself. Our camp is located about an hour and a half east of Ponyville. We reside on a luscious 40 acre lot, with trees and flowers of every variety. While studying or just taking a break, feel free to relax by our stream which runs through our willow tree field. We offer week courses (overnight of course!) or if you prefer just a day course or two, we also offer workshops on specific types of magic (whichever ones tend to interest you!). We also offer unicorn history classes for those young unicorns (or old, or even non-unicorns!) to learn everything about the inner workings of the horn or how magic came to be. So please feel free to contact us or just drop in for a visit, we’d be delighted to give you a tour of our camp! Any questions feel free to ask us! Thank you for considering our Unicorn Magic Camp!”

“Jeeze, what is this a brochure or a novel?!?” Nova yelled looking over the brochure

“Nova, honestly it’s supposed to have a lot of information in it! So everybody knows about the camp.” The much calmer Silver just rolled her eyes at her sister.

~~~~~

Silver Swirl was a gorgeous young unicorn mare, not quite full grown yet. She had a stunning silver coat with a well kept flowing white and light pink highlighted mane and tail which caused her bright teal eyes to stand out. She absolutely hated being unkempt, the thought of being unreasonable in public outside of the camp terrified her, but at the same time she was no girly girl. Silver loved the dirt as she was the resident gardener on the camp and ‘Plant magic’ teacher. Silver sported 3 cherry blossoms as her cutie mark, she had received it after planting and taking care of the first cherry blossom to grow on their farm, from that moment she knew this garden, and the plants were all she needed and that this was her calling.

Nova on the other hand was a young Pegasus mare with a midnight blue coat, a white muzzle and messy dark red mane/tail with purple and yellow highlights and stunning bright red eyes. Nova was the only Pegasus to live and work on the camp, so she was completely in control of the weather for the area. Unlike her sister, Nova really didn’t care how she appeared to anypony outside of the camp, she claimed that even if she did bother to do anything the wind was just mess up her mane anyway (which was true). Nova and Silver were the same age but born weeks apart (silver being just 2 weeks older) their parents would never explain why, only the family knew this secret. Nova’s cutie mark was that of a paintbrush with stars coming off of it, very simple but she adored it none the less. She had discovered her special talent for painting one night as she watched Luna’s moon rise, she had been attempting to paint all day but watching the moon rise had given her the inspiration and she’d fallen in love with the feeling of getting lost in the paint and canvas world. Both girls were extremely happy on their family camp.

“I told you not to try that Nova” Silver said with a stern tone while using her magic to life a piece of wood off her sister.

“Ah, Silv you gotta lighten’ up a bit!” Nova had managed to wiggle her way out of the broken pile of what use to be a shed and jump back on her hooves.

“Good luck explaining that one to mum and dad”

“Yeah ..well I’ll think of something, maybe Comet can help? I mean seriously, you guys are unicorns just magic it fixed or something!”

“Oh Nova...” with a light kick to the side of Nova’s head Silver had set off running “Race ya to the house!”

“Hey no fair!” Nova spread her wings out and with a few flaps was racing straight after her sister.

Both Unicorn and Pegasus were in a heated race heading straight towards the farm, just as Silver thought she could finally win this one because of her head start she didn’t happen to see the young unicorn stallion walking right in front of her..until she ran into him head first.

“oww..oh sorry Comet!” Silver whimpered slightly as she looked at what she had just ran into

“Hey Silv, Nova, You lot racing AGAIN?” Comet happily lent a hoof to Silver helping her up again

“Of course! And I Nova Are VICTORIOUS ONCE AGAIN!” happily gloating over another victory Nova landed on top of her sister causing her to lose her balance and fall over again

“Nova that’s so cheating! AND GET OFF ME !!”

“Yeah like hitting me wasn’t chea...whoa!” pushing her sister to the floor Silver stood up and brushed all the dust off her coat “Aw man, I just showered as well I was going out today!”

“You look fine Silver” Comet complimented the young Unicorn enjoying the smile she gave.

Comet was a bright young unicorn stallion and quite a good looking one at that, most of the females on the camp fancied him. Comet’s coat was a rocky brown with short navy blue and white highlighted mane/tail with bright blue eyes to match. He was the defence teacher in the camp and taught the younger unicorns the magic of protecting themselves but only taught them the most simple of spells for this.  Comet’s favourite things to do were reading by the stream underneath the willow trees and watching a certain young Pegasus flying gracefully through the skies, he wished that one day he’d be able to do the same but for now enjoyed watching Nova. He sported the cutie mark of a comet (much like his name) his special talent was being able to produce a magical shield which caused him to look like a comet as he ran.   Comet adored hanging around with Silver and Nova they were his best friends on this lot and their parents were grateful enough to take him in of course in exchange he taught there which he loved anyway.

Comet watched the two sisters playfully fight with each other.

“What are you two up too anyway?” suddenly remembering that Comet was there Nova ran over to his side and playfully nudged him

“Well I’m sorta hiding from my parents right now..Unless you can help me in time!”

“Help you with what?” Comet asked with a puzzled look on his face

“Well.. You see..I sorta...erm..”

“She totally destroyed the shed trying to do a trick.”

Comet stared at Nova in a bit of shock and worry as she quickly turned away and started to blush at the embarrassment. He couldn’t help but blush a little back, he was always so found of the young Pegasus but wished she wouldn’t try stunts that would hurt her.

“Well I guess I’ll see what I can do before Big Red finds out about it”

Just as the Nova was about to lead them back to the destroyed shed a loud scream could be heard coming from that very direction, a yell that made Nova’s ears perk up fully and with her wings spread she quickly shot off to the nearest cloud to try and avoid the storm that was coming her way.

Suddenly a large unicorn came running full speed to were Silver and Comet were standing and were a terrified looking Pegasus had just taken flight. Big Red was much like his name a big red stallion with a flowing pure white mane he was the owner of the magic camp and head instructor with a cutie mark similar to that of a local ponyville librarian but blue instead of purple. Big Red was the husband of Willow a petite pure white unicorn with light pink mane whose cutie mark was that of a heart with wings who happened to be head of the small the young unicorn division helping babies to help control their first magical urges. Big Red was also the father of Silver Swirl and Nova.

“WHERE IS SHE?” Big Red yelled the anger in his voice very present “I KNOW SHE IS HERE SOMEWHERE....NOVA YOU SHOW YOURSELF NOW YOUNG LADY!”

Before Silver or Comet could say anything a small terrified squeak could be head from the cloud above.

“NOVA YOU GET DOWN HERE NOW!” just then the cloud suddenly shuttered and a blue blur could be seen flying as fast as possible away from the scene, Big Red was soon in pursuit shooting magic and yelling trying to catch the young Pegasus. “GET. BACK. HERE. RIGHT. NOW!”

Both Silver and Comet couldn’t help but giggle as they watched the struggling blue form being pulled from a cloud by magic and dragged to the destroyed shed.

“Nova’s always so happy even though she gets in trouble far too much” Comet continued to watch the struggling Pegasus from afar

“Yeah she’s like that..” Silver giggled knowing that tonight Nova would be in quite the bad mood

“Hey..Silver..Can I ask you something?” Comet asked shyly

“Sure Comet, What’s up?” Silver replied with a worried look

“Well..How come you and Nova are the same aged but born 2 weeks apart? I mean you don’t even look alike...she doesn’t have anything in common with your parents at all”

“Well that’s sorta a family secret...mainly because it was such a sad time in her life” Silver stared into the clouds as she said the last part quieter.

“Nova sad? That can’t be, she’s never been sad in her life!” the shock in Comet’s voice showed more then he thought

“Well...She was sad..for along time...But that story is something for her to tell you not me. When she finally becomes ungrounded maybe she’ll tell you. I know she’s been thinking about it for awhile, I mean you’re like family to us Comet...Maybe one day soon you’ll find out Nova’s story”

Comet and Silver shared a quick glance with each other before slowly heading off in opposite directions. Silver heading to see how her sister was holding up against their father and Comet heading towards the willow tree beside the stream to think for awhile, wondering about the world to himself. Staring at the Clouds Comet couldn’t help but think out loud.

“What exactly could Nova’s story be?”
