Awesome. Two updates in one day. I didn't actually expect people to read this, much less actually request characters. Wow. Have some Cadence

A Lesson Learned

"Cadence?" asked Twilight, looking out at the setting sun.

"Hm?" replied the alicorn, patching up a scrape that the purple filly had just gotten.

"Why can't I be as… graceful, as you?"

Cadence looked up, surprised at the question. "What do you mean Twilight?"

Twilight looked at the princess, then looked away as though embarrassed. "What I mean is that you walk around in such a fancy way, and you never fall, and you're never bump into anything. Why can't I be like that? I'm just some unicorn who bumps into everything and everypony."

The older pony thought for a moment. "Well… I suppose it's part of being a princess. I can't really change who I am, now can I? Everypony has their own good and bad qualities."

Twilight looked incredulous. "Bad? You don't have any bad qualities though, Cadence."

Cadence laughed. "You'd be surprised. One of my bad qualities is that I start to really freak out if my ice cream gets all melty and gross."

The unicorn filly pouted. "Yeah, well that's just one. I have a lot."

"You might think so, but for every bad thing there's something good to make up for it." Intoned Cadence sagely. "For example, you are a beautiful little filly, smart too! You have so much ahead of you that I couldn't possibly have."

"But you can get whatever you want, whenever you want!" replied Twilight, confused. "You don't have to work for anything!"

"And that's one of the downsides of being a princess." Cadence said, sounding melancholy. "You can have anything, but you never really earn it. Ponies do everything for you. You may not be as graceful as me, or be a princess, but you should be proud of having actually earned what you get."

Twilight thought for a moment, watching the last bit of Princess Celestia's sun set on the horizon. She was about to reply when a guard stepped up to them.

"Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, dinner will be served shortly. Will you be joining us tonight, Twilight?"

The filly hopped up and down, any worries she had erased from her mind. "Can I, can I?"

"Of course Twilight," replied Cadence, and smiled as Twilight hopped excitedly ahead.

Way over three hundred. I need to work on that. Whatever. Approximately three hundred is close enough. That was for princess3170.
