In the tower

Twilight was packing her paints with Spike "This is it. This is a very big day Spike. I'm finally going to do it, I'm going to ask her"

"Twilight! Let down your hair" Mother Gothel yelled to her outside the tower.

Twilight gasped when she heard her mother then she looked at Spike and said "it's time" .

Spike stood a brave pose.

"I know. I know. Come on don't let her see you" Said Twilight putting Spike near her painting and he hid then she went to the tower doors.

"Twilight, I'm not getting any younger down here"

"Coming mother" Said Twilight as she lowered her hair.

Once the hair was on the ground near mother Gothel, she grabbed it and Twilight pulled her up.

Once mother Gothel was in the tower Twilight said "Hi, welcome home mother"

"Oh Twilight. How you manage to do that every single day, without fail, it looks absolutely exhausting darling" as she rubbed her cheeks.

Twilight giggled and said "Oh it's nothing"

"Then I don't know why it's taking so long hahaha! Oh darling I'm just teasing" Said mother Gothel as she walked up to a mirror.

Twilight chuckled and said "All right... so, mother. As you know tomorrow is a very big day"

"Twilight look in that mirror" Said Gothel as she pulled her close to her in the mirror "You know what I see? I see a strong, confident, beautiful young lady"

Twilight giggled from hearing that.

"Oh look your here too. Hahahaha, I'm just teasing, stop taking everything so seriously." Said Gothel as she began looking at herself in the mirror.

"Okay, so mother. As I was saying, tomorrow is a-"

Twilight was cut off when Gothel said "Twilight, mother's feeling a little run down. Would you sing a song for me dear? Then we'll talk"

"OH! Of course mother"

Then Twilight placed a chair near the fire place of the tower and she placed a smaller chair next to the big chair. Then she sat Gothel down on the chair making her "Oh" In return.

Then Twilight gave Gothel her hair brush and sat on the small chair and began singing "Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine"

Twilight was singing really fast and Gothel said "Wait" But she was still singing "Heal what has been hurt, change the fate's design. Save what has been lost, bring back what once was mine"

Then Gothel became young again and Twilight's purple glowing hair stopped glowing "Twilight!"

"So mother earlier I was saying that tomorrow was a really big day, and you didn't really respond, so I'm just going to tell you it's my birthday tomorrow!" Said Twilight as she hugged her mother.

"No, no, no can't be, I distinctly remember your birthday was last year" Said Mother Gothel as she pushed Twilight's hoof away.

"That's the funny thing about birthdays" Twilight chuckled "They're kind of an annual thing" She continued.

"Mother I'm turning eighteen and I wanted to ask, what I really want for this birthday. Actually what I want for my--" Said Twilight as she was once again cut of by Gothel.

"Twilight please stop with the mumbling. You know how I feel about the mumbling. Blah, blah, blah... blah it's very annoying. I'm just teasing your adorable I live you so much darling" Said Gothel as she patted her head gently.

Twilight was looking on the ground sadly then she saw Spike hiding near the fireplace and he told her to tell her about what she wants for her birthday.

"Oh I want to see the floating lights" Twilight finally said.

"What?" Asked Gothel as she put the apple back in her basket.

"Well I was hoping you would take me to see the floating lights" Said Twilight revealing her drawing a little.

"Oh you mean the stars?" As she looked back into her basket with her groceries.

"That's the thing" Said Twilight as she grabbed the top door of the tower with her hair and pulled it open "I've charted stars and they're always constant but these they appear every year on my birthday mother. Only on my birthday and I can't help but feel that they're, they're meant for me. I need to see them mother and not just from my window but in pony. I have to know what they are"

When Gothel saw the painting that Twilight drew she turned to the tower doors and said "You want to go outside? Oh why Twilight" As she closed the tower doors.

Mother Gothel: Look at you as fragile as a flower. Still a little sappling just a sprout. You know why we stay up in this tower.

Twilight Sparkle: I know but.

Mother Gothel: That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear.

Then mother Gothel closed the tower's covers and continued.

Mother Gothel: Guess I always knew this day was coming knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest. Soon, but not yet.

Twilight Sparkle: But.

Mother Gothel: Shh, trust me pet, mother knows best.

When Gothel said those words the tower became dark and Twilight was holding a candle on her hoof.

Mother Gothel: Mother knows best, listen to your mother it's a scary world out there. Mother knows best one way or another, something will go wrong, I swear ruffians, thugs, poison ivy, quick sand, cannibals and snakes the plague.

Twilight Sparkle: No!

Mother Gothel: Yes.

Twilight Sparkle: But.

Mother Gothel: Also large bugs.

Twilight Sparkle: Ahh!

Mother Gothel: Stallions of pointy teeth and stop no more you'll just upset me. Mother's right here, mother will protect you, darling here's what I suggest, skip the drama stay with mama mother knows best hahaha.

Then mother Gothel turned off all the candles with her flowing cape and the tower became dark again.

Mother Gothel: Mother knows best, take it from your mumsy, on your own you won't survive. Sloppy, underdressed, immature, clumsy please they'll eat you up alive.

Twilight Sparkle: Ahh!

Mother Gothel: Gullible, naive, positively grubby. Ditsy and a bit well hmm vague. Plus I believe getting kinda chubby. I'm just saying cause I love you, mother understands, mother's her to help you all I have is one request.

When Twilight turned around she saw her mother and she sighed in relief and ran up to her and hugged her.

"Twilight"

"Yes?"

"Don't ever ask to leave this tower again"

Twilight looked down sadly and said " Yes mother"

"I love you very much dear"

"I love you more"

"I love you most" as she kissed her forehead.

Mother Gothel: Don't forget it, you'll regret it. Mother knows best.

Then Gothel climbed down the tower with her hair "I'll see you in a bit my flower"

"I'll be here" Twilight said sadly.
