They were both in the process of growing up, striving to adapt to each other.
Seeing her senior sister and junior sister both busy with their own tasks, Aurora couldn't help but feel a little envious. It wasn't that she was idle; it was just that her self-created magic had made absolutely no progress, and long-term failure made her feel a bit frustrated.
Because magic power could only produce corresponding magic if it remained running under specific laws, although unexpected effects could be created by changing formulas and parameters, or by fusing two different spells, the originality Aurora pursued was not limited to this.
If existing magic were compared to a complete painting, the methods mentioned above could only be considered changing the color or the painting style of a pre-existing picture. What Aurora wanted to do was to use magic power as a painting tool to draw something that no one had ever drawn before.
This was not to imply that Aurora was a failed art student, but simply to explain that before learning to create, she still needed a lot of copying to hone her understanding of this profession.
The more she delved into this aspect, the more Aurora marveled at how great Star Swirl the Bearded was, having invented more than two hundred spells.
Feeling that her knowledge accumulation was not yet rich enough, Aurora could only temporarily shelve her dream and continue to pursue advanced studies in magic.
Sometimes when it was Aurora's turn to look after Spike, she would take the opportunity to study the difference between dragon breath and the fire created by ponies using magic. After all, magic from other species was still magic, and Aurora was equally interested in that.
Moreover, now that there was another magic genius by Aurora's side, it added a bit of joy to her path of learning magic.
However, wonderful times always have an end.
Upon receiving a letter sent from home, Aurora instantly lost all her strength and means.
"What does the letter say? Why do you have that expression?"
Seeing Aurora's originally cheerful face become unhappy after reading the letter, Sunset Shimmer couldn't help but ask curiously.
"My father wants me to go home."
Sunset Shimmer, who knew more about Aurora's family situation, immediately fell silent, but Twilight Sparkle, who had just joined the study group, felt a bit confused.
"I don't understand, isn't this a good thing?"
"Reuniting with family is a good thing, but only on the condition that they aren't doing it to make me attend a boring party."
As she spoke, Aurora took a golden, glittering ticket out of the envelope.
"This is... a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala! You're going to attend the Grand Galloping Gala?!"
Twilight Sparkle let out a sound of surprise, looking at the little golden piece of paper on Aurora's hoof, with an envious look in her eyes.
"This is the best celebration in Canterlot, and even Princess Celestia will be attending!"
"Yes, it's tonight. Twilight, do you want to go with me?"
Aurora coaxed.
As for Twilight Sparkle's ticket, it was naturally not a problem; Aurora believed that if they just asked The Grand Princess, she would definitely be willing to grant it to them.
Now the most important thing was Twilight Sparkle's opinion; as long as she nodded in agreement and they went together, then this celebration wouldn't be too boring. If, in the end, Twilight Sparkle also lost interest in the celebration, they could at least hide in a corner of the celebration together and read books to pass the time.
To be honest, Twilight Sparkle was indeed very tempted; at this time, she didn't know how boring the real Grand Galloping Gala was as a social gathering, naively thinking she could have a pleasant chat with The Grand Princess all night at the celebration.
"Although I really want to go, I'm afraid I can't this time."
Struggling a little in her heart, Twilight Sparkle finally smiled helplessly and politely declined Aurora's invitation.
"I have to take care of Spike, and today I agreed to go to the Library with Minuette to study. It's almost time for our appointment, so I have to go."
Twilight Sparkle was worthy of being the most promising among them, making new friends so quickly, unlike her two senior sisters who were both old shut-ins.
