Forest Fae went into the magical training room, she had left one of the princesses in a royal meeting a while ago, and even if Princess Astral Tome was training with her brother, it was still her duty to watch over her. She moved to one of the balconies from where the first in command would watch the unicorns train, to not disturb her brother and the Princess lesson, at the time they were reading from a very advanced tome, and Forest could see a very faint blush across Astral’s face, she smiled a little bit. Her siblings and her have been always close to the royal family, and since she could remember Astral had a huge crush on Crimson, and now that he was his tutor at magical training she hoped Astral could someday tell him the feelings she had. When she was distracted in her thoughts, she felt a little tap on her shoulder and jumped a little bit at that.
 
“Boo! Haha, did i startled my own guard?” Spectra chuckled, Forest rolled her eyes, but she was smiling “You did, your majesty” Spectra moved besides her “I’m not late right? I managed to slip out of that meeting, i don’t mind royal duties but gosh it was boring!” “Nope, just in time to see how they perform the spell” “Great! Astral had been studying that spell all night”
 
“Are you ready Astral?” Crimson said to his “student” “Yes! i studied really hard, and practiced the technique, i didn’t wanted to disappoint you” Crimson moved to the side to give her some space “Go on” Astral’s horn started to glow, and produced a bright beam of light that went into the side of the target, instead of the center, she was shaking a little bit “I…i didn’t hit it…”
 
“Ow…don’t worry Astral! Give it another go!” shouted Spectra as Crimson went to her sister’s side, to read the spell again “She always gets so nervous when she is with Crimson, you Apples have such a charm in us Sparkles!” Forest raised a brow, and chuckled “Is that so?” “Yes, me and my sister can’t escape it!” “Well, let’s hope that Astral finally confesses to my brother one day”
 
“Okay, you performed the spell perfectly, we just need to work on the aim” Crimson moved behind Astral, his head was close to Astral’s ear “Focus on the target, and you will hit the center” “This must be so easy for you!You actually mastered this spell three years ago!” Crimson whispered into Astral’s ear “This isn’t about when i mastered it, it’s about you performing it, i believe in you, go ahead” Astral took a deep breath, her horn glowed and the beam hit the target, straight in the center “I-i did it! you were right!” Crimson gave her a small smile “Of course i was, you are excellent at magic” Astral felt her face burn.
 
Later that night, when they were about to go to sleep, Spectra asked her sister with a mischievous smile “Sooo, how did it felt having Crimson that close?” Spectra throwed her pillow at her sister “Shut up! You are lucky that Forest is dating you! sigh i will never have the courage to tell him how i feel” “Oh come on…you were red as an apple, and i’m sure he looooves apples!” “SPECTRA!” “sorry sorry! i was just teasing you!”
 
A little bit on Spectra and Forest relationship, they are more “casually dating” than anything, they where like “we have been best friends for so long, wanna date?” so they are kind of figuring out their feelings for each other,
