Royal Academy

Chapter 3: Time to Go

             "Hi, Shimmer." Crystal said as she saw her walk down the hall.

               "Um, Crystal." Shimmer said in confusion as she stared at her sister standing outside her room while wrapped in a towel. "Whatcha doing?"

                 "Waiting for Cortana." Crystal replied. 

                  "Why?" Shimmer asked.

                     "Cause I get to go to Royal Academy with you and Twinkle." Crystal replied. "Mom filled out the application for me, a few days ago."

                          "Ok." Shimmer said. "Well, then. I guess I'll meet you downstairs."

                           "See ya shortly." Crystal replied as she watched Shimmer walk away.

                           "Ah, Miss Crystal." Cortana said. "I have something for you, from your mom."

                            "Hi, Cortana." Crystal replied. "What is it?"

                                "Your Royal Academy uniform." Cortana replied as she handed it over.

                                 "Thanks." Crystal said as she took it and went into her room.

                                    "You're welcome, Miss Crystal." Cortana replied as she took a deep breath before heading downstairs.

                                                             ~Meanwhile~

                                        "Twinkle, we have a problem." Shimmer said as she sat at the table.

                                          "What is it?" Twinkle asked in between bites of her breakfast.

                                           "Crystal is coming to Royal Academy with us." Shimmer replied.

                                              "Um, how's that a problem?" Twinkle asked in confusion.

                                              "Mom's probably gonna have us keep an eye on her." Shimmer replied.

                                              "And indeed I am." Gator agreed as she entered the room.

                                               "Do we have to?" Shimmer asked.

                                                  "Yes, Shimmer." Gator replied as she sat down. "She is your's and Twinkle's little sister. And, it's her first time going to the academy."

                                                "We get that." Twinkle said. "However, I'm on Shimmer's side here. The academy has a lot of really helpful staff members and students. Crystal will be fine."

                                                      "Wait, Twinkle." Shimmer said. "Aren't we forgetting about someone?"

                                                         "Oh, right." Twinkle replied. "Cherry Cream."

                     "Who's she?" Crystal asked curiously as she entered the room and sat down.

                                                         "The princess of Sweetestria." Shimmer replied.

                                                        "And the most entitled royal at the academy." Twinkle added. "Most royals only have to take manners class for a week, but not her."

                                                        "Twinkle's correct." Shimmer said. "Rumor has it, her behavior is so bad she's still in manners class to this very day."

                                                             Crystal chuckled nervously. "When do I have to take that class?"

                                                               "Only during your first week, if you pass." Twinkle warned.

                                                                   "Um, ok." Crystal said nervously.

                                                       "Attention young majesties, the carriage is here." Cortana announced.

                         "Alright, let's go." Shimmer said as she, Twinkle and Crystal went outside and got in the carriage.
