"That bratty little sister."
Aurora felt inexplicably angry. It was as if a sister's patience for the creature known as a "younger sister" was naturally less than for other ponies, making it easier to be provoked by one.
However, correspondingly, a sister was also more tolerant toward her younger sister than toward other ponies.
"Aurora, Sunburst and I haven't even met. I was just greeting him as his senior. But because of those unnecessary 'warnings' of yours, how do you think he'll view a senior he hasn't even met?"
Aurora Glow was a smart child, and at this point, she knew that her impulsiveness had caused trouble for her sister.
"I'm sorry, sister. I know I was wrong. I didn't think that much at the time..."
It wasn't that she hadn't thought much; it was clearly caused by overthinking.
Aurora felt helpless, but after all, she was her own younger sister, and it wasn't a big deal, so she forgave her. It was just that Aurora was truly puzzled by what was going on in Aurora Glow's head every day.
Sunburst was even younger than Twilight Sparkle; how could she possibly have those kinds of thoughts about a younger brother like him?
Moreover, although Aurora had lived as a pony for over a decade, she still wasn't mentally prepared to date one.
She felt that her standards for a partner were still aligned with those of humans.
Furthermore, being able to research magic every day made her feel like she didn't have enough time; it was better to wait until she resolved the conflict with her senior sister before considering anything else.
Aurora Glow apologized, Aurora forgave her, and the matter was settled. However, the atmosphere was a bit more subdued than before, so Twilight Sparkle wanted to chat about something to liven things up.
"Flying Light, you might not know this, but when I saw in your letter that you were studying the supernatural, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me."
"It seems you have some misconceptions about the'supernatural'."
Aurora picked up where Twilight Sparkle left off and continued the conversation.
Knowing that Twilight Sparkle might be unfamiliar with the term "supernatural," which was relatively rare in magic studies, and might even think it was a concept only mentioned in fantasy novels as in the original work, Aurora had specifically spent quite a bit of ink in her letter explaining this branch of magic.
She also mentioned the Zebra Zecora she had met in Ponyville. After all, she was a collaborator who would be working closely with them over the coming week, so it would be better to introduce her to Twilight Sparkle in advance.
The two older sisters were chatting enthusiastically, and while the younger brother and sister following behind them were used to this, they also found it a bit boring.
"Every time they talk about magic, they get like this."
Aurora Glow complained in a low voice.
She had once studied magic diligently for a period of time in order to have more common topics with Aurora.
But she had no interest in this area, and her talent was not as good as these older sisters', so she gave up not long after.
Moreover, compared to being cooped up in a room studying, she preferred to run outside and play.
"Do you think if we sneak away right now, they'll notice?"
"I don't know, I just know that if you actually do that, you'll be in big trouble!"
Spike expressed his dissatisfaction with Aurora Glow including him in her schemes, and couldn't help but move a little further away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
"I was just saying..."
Aurora Glow pouted.
Although she wasn't an obedient or well-behaved child, she wasn't stupid either. She knew that if she made a mistake now, her sister would definitely be extremely disappointed in her, and that wasn't what she wanted.
"That sounds amazing! Flying Light, your ideas are always so unique! So when do we start? I feel like I can get started right away and go for three days and three nights without getting tired!"
"Don't rush, Twilight. We have plenty of time. Zecora won't be in town until tomorrow, so we can rest today, and we can take the younger ones around to look around."
Aurora said, glancing at Aurora Glow and Spike behind her.
Because the workload over the next few days would be quite intense, and Spike was still young, if they were too busy, they would ask Fluttershy to help look after Spike for a few days.
However, now there was an unexpected addition: Aurora Glow.
"Sister! Sister! I'll be very good, I won't cause you any trouble!"
"Hehe, let's hope so..."
Aurora's tone clearly showed she didn't have much confidence in Aurora Glow's promise.
She knew this little sister too well; if she could really just stay quietly and behave, Aurora wouldn't be this worried.
Twilight Sparkle watched the interaction between the two sisters from the side and found it quite amusing.
The usually calculating Second Senior Sister felt that her own sister's sudden whims were unpredictable.
Although she felt bad, this was really too funny.
Ponyville didn't look like it had changed much since the last time the three of them were there, and the Golden Oak Library still stood there. And Aurora's residence in Ponyville was near the Library.
