"Hey! You were right! This book is great!" Sunset exclaimed.

"Yeah. Glad you like it." Moondancer replied with a clinical tone.

"Uh, something's the matter?" the yellow mare, curious.

The paler one sighed. "I'm studying right now."

"Oh. Sorry for bothering." Sunset replied back.

Sunset stood there and casted another spell, making the other mare impatient.

"Is there something else you want?" she asked with a more irritated tone.

Sunset paused and looked at her, the other unicorn with her muzzle in the same book. "Uh, no. Why?" Not even her sweater budged.

"You are... distracting." forcing to remain calm and polite.

"Huh? How so? I'm just trying the spells from the book you just recommended me." she asked, confused.

"Well... That's bothering me!" raising her tone a notch more.

"Why? You use your magic yourself and-"

Moondancer stood up, turned and face the other mare with a frown on her face. "I like to study alone!" All alone! Don't you get it?" she cut her. Sunset recoiled slightly.

"Uh, yes."

Moon turned her back and returned at her book on the floor. "Good. Now leave." she said without looking.

"But..." she began before sighing. "No."

The glass wearer pony groaned. "What?" she said with a flat tone.

"I learned that studying magic with other ponies is a more enriching experience. It develops communication, connection with others and collaboration." she began to lecture. "You shouldn't be always all alone by yourself."

The paler unicorn chuckle. "I learned those three by myse- Wait! You know Twilight, don't you?"

The question surprised the other mare. "Huh? Do you know her?" she asked.

"Oh yeah, I know her." she said with a amused tone.

"Wait. She never told me about you."

"Then, you don't know that I'm not always all alone! Just when I'm studyi-" she began before Sunset cut her.

"Wait... wait... wait... Moondancer, right? I'm Sunset Shimmer." she cheerfully exclaimed.

"Charmed." she replied flatly.

Sunset became impatient herself and put the book on the floor. "Can you at least put that face out of your book for a minute and look at me?" she shouted.

"No." she said flatly again. "And technically, I did a minute ago."

" ..... Seriously, that's rude."

Moon let another impatient sigh "Alright! Alright!". She then stood up and turned to face Sunset. "See? I'm face to face with you! Happy now?"

A sudden idea came in Sunset's mind. "Want to duel?" she asked with a grin.

The question shocked and confused the paler mare "What?! All that because I didn't..."

Sunset interrupted her to explain. "You look like somepony who need some unwinding right now. You know.. after all that study?"

Moondancer chuckled and put herself into a fighting stance. "One, two, three, GO!!!" she quickly intoned and took Sunset by surprise.

"GAH!"
