Super Nova

1: Snickers
Nova brushed her mane, grumbling about a twin. The mirror was covered with glitter. "My glitter is gone! That stupid brat!" A voice yelled. "Niva, there is some in the cabinet!" She yelled back. Nova groaned and sat down at her cedar desk. Reaching into her top left drawer, she pulled a jade stone and rubbed it til Niva came by. She shoved it into a drawer, making it look like she was pulling a piece of paper out. Which she was. She began sketching a portrait of Niva. "Drawing, huh? Its only a stupid talent!" Niva giggled. Nova rolled her eyes. "Now, twins, whats wrong?" "Nova took my glitter, father! It costed 30$ a piece!" Nova's jaw dropped. "When did you start getting higher allowances?" Niva gestured to a bigger male horse. "Father! How-" Her father stopped her by saying, "Niva does a better job at a few things. Like cleaning." "Thats a lie, Father! I clean up her messes!" Niva tilted her nose up. "She's lying, Father. I clean up hers!" Then her father saw the sketch. "You admire Niva?" "No!" "You drew her-" "Because I was bored!" She interupted. Her mother heard the fuss. "Nova? Whats wrong?" "Miranda, stand back." "No, Divicus, no. She's my daughter. Nova, honey, whats wrong?" "Oh- mother! How happy am I to see you! Nova's yelling at me!" "How frightening, dear. Nova, thats a very nice drawing, dear. Divi, isn't it charming to see our Nova's getting quite well at drawing?" "Yes, Miranda. Fantastic." "As for you, Niva- my oh my! What a mess! Dear, please go clean that up, will you, Nova?" "Willingly, Mother." Nova said, mimicking Niva by tilting her nose up. She giggled and ran to clean it. Niva was infuriated, and called out. "Father! She mocks me- how ashamed she should be!" "Yes, indeed, Daughter. I agree eagerly." "Niva! How ashamed you should be!" Her mother hotly replied. Divicus gazed at his wife. "Miranda, we'll have to talk about who is the true heir. Tonight, to be exact." Niva squealed. "Is it me? Oh, father, is it me??" Nova happily hummed while scrubbing the glitter.

Niva tossed her long mane behind her. She wanted to look very nice, to approach father about who was the heir. Being the oldest, she thought she should be it. After all, she was the most beautiful, and neat young pony. ''I believ I should be the duchess, and the lady of the house! ''She wickedly thought. As her maid, Bessie, finished combing her mane, she declared. "That is enough, Bessie." She trotted to the door.

2: Heir Talk
"Divicus, I believe Nova should be the heir. She is reasonable, neat, and passionate to be kind to those in need." "Niva. Out of the two, Niva is kinder, more beautiful, and doesn't spend her waste her time doodling. She is more prone to order, keep house, cook, and sing. The important talents to gaining a quick suitor." Niva grinned. "But Divicus, Nova cares more!" "Niva deserves it- she is my pick." "Nova is mine!" "Niva can survive the city!" "Nova can survive anywhere! She's done it before, and saved Niva!" This brought silence to the conversation. ''No, no, no! Father, please! Speak up!! ''She begged in her mind. "We will let the town decide. As leaders of the city, they should be sure about who they want to be heir." YEsss! "Yess!" "Wife? Did you say something?" "No, dear." Niva scurried into her room. A few minutes later, her dad trotted into the room. Nova was polishing the mirror, and her dad snorted. "You can stop the act, Nova. Niva, hopefully you will be heir, as the township will decide."

That morning, Niva stood in Hoof Township, and a old horse stopped her. "Madam, will you assist me across the street? I am old, and getting slower and stiffer everyday." She snorted. "Who are you to ask me?" Nova hurried over. "Sir Logan, I can!" She called. She gave him a hoof to lean on, and she helped him across the road. "Thank you, Ma'am. May you be blessed by Mira, or if possible, Zios!" She trotted across the street. Niva was left in amazement, staring after her.

FLASHBACK

________________________________________________________________

''"C'mon, lets explore!" Niva cried to the sleepy pony next to her. "I wanna stay home." "No, c'mon!" "Fine." The girls ran off. Niva charged into the woods. Nova, sleepily, remembered to leave a trail and stepped on a huge branch. It cracked, and split. A bear appeared and chased them. It clawed at Niva, and caught her back legs, leaving a jagged scratch. Nova, grabbing a crossbow she hid (never mind how) in her cloak, and shot it. As they were lost, Nova grabbed Niva and they hid in the cave they used to play in. Hours passed. "Nova! Niva!? Darlings!" She heard a voice call. "Mom! Father! Over here!" Nova screamed. Her father and mother scooped them up. "Nova told me to come!" A nasty little voice spat out of Niva's mouth.''

"How did we get so far apart?" Nova wondered out loud.

"The votes have been counted!"

A crow gathered around a balcony.

"The heir is......"
