A Brother and Sister Tale: Twilight and Shining Armor

Chapter 2: As Foals

15 years before now...
When I was little, Shining and I hung out a lot. And I mean a whole lot.
"Toss me the ball Shiny, toss me the ball!"
"Okay! Here it comes!"
We always played ball together. We flew my kite together.
"Shiny, the string!"
"Here," he tells me as he brings it back to me with his horn.
He's such a sweet older brother. I love him.
"Want a carrot Twily?"
"Sure," I'd reply. He'd share his carrots and apples with me. He and Cadence would always play with me. Mom and Dad knew that we were perfect for each other.
"They're perfect together. They play together, make each other laugh," Dad would always tell Mom.
He even taught me his protection spell when we were alone together.
"Here, let me show you something," he said. He goes on to show me a force field he had created with his magic. He shows me how to do it. Of coarse, I don't ace it on the first try. I just fall backwards. We break out laughing. By the second time, I pull it off no problem. He taught me that practice makes perfect.
We go outside and he helps me catch and release butterflies. I help him identify them. That was always fun. It still is.
"I enjoy spending time with you," I say to him.
"And I enjoy time with you," he says as he rubs my mane. That always makes me laugh. He always makes me laugh. He's my BBBF after all.
