Starlight Glimmer Quits
It was a normal day in a normal Ponyville, sunny and bright. A pegasus could almost fly through it without crashing into any trees… except for the largest, glitziest, most hazardous tree there is. The Castle of Friendship. And trust me, on this fine, normal day, it was anything BUT friendly. In fact, the resident Princess was having a fierce argument with her student. Over carrots. Starlight was locked in a stance of spellcasting, trying desperately to keep the last carrot in the house in her grip. The Princess of Friendship was trying HARD to get it to her own mouth. Starlight's horn was almost burning and Twilight was trying calmly to persuade her to let her have it. And she was having none of it. In fact, she was so steamed up, that she was thinking that she might quit. So, she did.
She let go of the carrot, blew on her smoking horn, and yelled, as loudly as she possibly could,
"I! QUIT!"
Twilight gaped, googled, then gasped. "You… You can't just QUIT!"
Starlight smiled slyly. "Yes I can! I've already finished all the paperwork! I've been foreseeing this moment for years!" She conjured a ream of papers as thick as a pony's thigh, and kept them in her conjurative grasp. "I'll go to the Town Hall now."
Twilight stuttered, stomped, and sighed. "Fine. You don't have to be my student. I WAS just going to duplicate this carrot anyways, to show you the meaning of, uh, of… uh… listening to people and hearing them out, but, um, you aren't my student anymore. So."
Starlight grinned goofily.
"I'M BACK!"
Twilight snickered, stopped, and smiled. Then she duplicated the carrot and conjured a large tub of ranch dressing. "Bon appetite."
