A/N: I actually feel a deep connection with Twilight in this one, and fully understand how she must feel to suddenly not be the most important person in her siblings life. As such, I really really hope you all enjoy it!
It's a prize for Celia!
She hate this, watching her brother dance around the mares that he brings home. Watching him try to flirt and joke and show off.
It isn't because Twilight Sparkle doesn't want her brother to be happy either, even it that's what her parents think. It most certainly isn't that she's jealous of Shining Armor for finding someone that he feels a connection too.
All it is, is that Twilight doesn't want her brother to forget about her. She doesn't want to be unimportant to him, to lose the one pony that she has always felt close too.
So she hates every mare that he brings home, even before she meets them, and Ink Moonlight is no exception.
At least, she isn't at first.
At first, Twilight Sparkle cannot think of a single kind word to say to the quiet mare.
So when Ink Moonlight enters a room, Twilight leaves it.
So when Ink Moonlight smiles at her, Twilight frowns back.
So when Twilight is given no choice but to go into town with the white and black mare, she hands back and tries to pretend that they aren't together.
And that's when things change.
She hears the whispers; awful creature, liar, traitor.
She sees the looks; scornful and hateful and ugly.
She watches as they tear into Ink Moonlight and she does nothing, because arguing only ever makes things worse and it is like Twilight is looking into a mirror.
So she speaks up and tries hard not to hate herself.
