Twilight Sparkle opened her window, letting the warming sun in and the dark smoke out. Once she was able to breathe again, she went downstairs to the kitchen.

"Good morning Princess! Breakfast is ready!"

"Sweetie Belle, you are here...again."

After putting her new enhanced magic to practice fixing the kitchen, Twilight sat down to enjoy a simple cup of tea and the morning newspaper like she did every morning. Too bad a grinning face standing right in front of her was ruining her routine.

"...yes?"

"Is there anything else I can do for you Princess? Clean your bathroom, organize your books, preen your wings?" Sweetie emphasized each question with a bounce.

"No, no and definitely no. Why don´t you better go talk with someone else, where is Spike?"

"I gave hima few gems and told him to take the day off."

"What about your sister?"

"She is spending the weekend on Trottingham."

"The other crusaders?"

"Apple Bloom is helping Fluttershy in her cottage, Babs Seed is watching Rainbow Dash train and Scootaloo is at the farm with Applejack."

"Everything is wrong on that sentence..."

"So..."

Twilight looked into those deep, pleading eyes and silently apologized to her big brother for all those years of torture as a filly.

"Cadence, it´s not funny."

"Sorry Twilight, it´s just the way you tell the story," Cadence said, trying to regain control of her cup of tea. "And how do you get her to leave."

"After I made her sent you the letter, I told her to go to the Sofas and Quills store and get me a bluebird quill. Knowing Mr. Davenport, they´ll be all afternoon in the storage room."

Cadence giggled some more while Twilight sighed.

"Thank you for coming, I know nothing about little sisters. I don´t know what to do with her," Twilight said.

"Well, I don´t think she sees you as a big sister."

"What do you mean?"

"Remember when I was your sitter, that letter you gave me?"

Once the gears in Twilight head moved, her face turned red. "Oh sweet Celestia, is that what´s going on? She is in love with me?"

"Not in love Twilight, she simply has a crush on you. It´s very common for fillies to admire the Princesses so much they confuse those feelings with romantic interest."

"My feelings for you were not romantic at all! I simply read a book on how to properly treat a Princess and followed suit!" Twilight wasn´t fooling Cadence at all so she just give up. "I better have a talk with her."

"Try not to break her heart. Shining told me you cry a whole night when I rejected you."

"You didn´t rejected me! I wasn´t in love with you! Stop teasing me!"

That night, Twilight took Sweetie Belle to the balcony. Despite all her teasing, Cadence was right. She needed to use the exact words otherwise she may hurt the feelings of Sweetie.

"Are you gonna show me how you control the stars? Can you do that, right? I mean, that´s what you Cutie Mark means, right?"

"Sweetie Belle, which pony do you admire?"

"...uh?"

"Tell me who do you admire. And be honest."

"...my big sister. She is the best pony I know. She is smart and pretty and makes beautiful dresses. I always wanted to be a fashion designer just like her but I don´t have her talent."

Sweetie was sobbing so Twilight moved a wing over her to comfort her.

"You know which pony I admire?"

"Princess Celestia?"

Twilight shook her head. "My big brother, Shining Armor. I always looked after him. He worked so hard to achieve his dreams and never gave up. He is my goal, the pony I always wanted to be."

"But then why didn´t you join the guard or something?" Sweetie asked.

"Because I didn´t wanted to be exactly like him. I wanted to be somepony he will admire, one he will be proud of."

"And he is proud of you, now that you´re are a princess?"

"I think so. But that doesn´t meant that I can´t give him a few headaches now and then. Privileges of being a little sister."

They shared a giggle.

"Twilight, I still think you´re a wonderful princess."

"Thank you. I think you´re a wonderful little sister."

Twilight brought her closer and they both watched as Princess Luna painted the night sky with a shower of shooting stars.
