Chapter 1

Might be...

Chapter 1 – Warming thoughts

"AhChowwo!"

Your head flops back to the pillow as you hold your eyes open to the small wisp of green magic that flies in front of your face. But you don't really pay attention to it as you end up having to snort your nose's dripping back, "Ugh..."

The world outside is still only barely getting the light of the sun which not only makes you a little mad that you're up but you're also annoyed you just jerked your whole body from your warm cocoon to sneeze.

You give a loud sigh as you stare up to the wood ceiling above you, "...Is it Monday?" Your stuffy nosed voice sounds completely alien to you as you breath through your mouth.

A slight giggle comes from your side as Twilight moves a little away from you in the bed, "I told you, you should have worn something yesterday."

Really? I have to hear Rainbow's mocking at some point today and now Twilight gets an I told you so? You cock your right eye to the mare that lays next to you as your stuffy voice comes back to the room, "I blame Princess Do Nothing..." You clear your throat at the end of your sentence a another giggle rings from the lavender mare.

Effectively her happy giggling only causes you to turn your face towards her as you speak up, "Are you having fun-..."

Your voice is cut off as Twilight's eyes widen and she turns her head away from you with a slight whine.

You blink to the cute high pitched nose as you snort your nose back and give a little smile. But she doesn't turn her head back as you stare to her, from her lack of movement you run your hoof to her side as you rub her side trying to turn her towards you playfully.

Another giggle comes over her as she pushes your hoof away and scoots a little more from your spot in the bed, "No, you're sick."

Your silent for a second as you think over your situation, you know Twilight still has pretty much the whole bed to run to seeing as how she was basically pushing you off the bed all night...so its time for your slight pay back.

Laced with this thought you scoot just a tiny amount closer as you move the covers back a little allowing your front hooves to poke from the bed, along with causing her upper body to become revealed from under the covers.

From her new lack of covering she slightly turns her head back to you as she turns an eye to you, but from your smiling face her eye shrinks as she quickly darts her head away from your sight.

You clear your throat as you poke your hooves back to the base of her neck where her unbrushed morning mane has come to lay, "Thought it was in sickness and in health?"

Her body doesn't shift as her voice comes back, "Not when we only have a few months before her test."
You can tell by Twilight's voice she's still holding her playful tone but also is trying to speak some kind of sense, luckily you have decided to just listen to her playful tone, "Oh ya? Whys that?"

At the end of your words you scoot at little closer as her voice comes back to the room, "Because, when I was a filly a foul could take the test any time before their third birthday, but now it has to be before their first birthday. That way a ponies true raw mostly untamed magic can be fully seen."

Twilight's voice has lost a little of its playful tone and become more of her normal know it all tone, which has only brought a new spark to your motions, "Well what if I told you that only thing that makes me feel better is a kiss?"

A giggle comes from Twilight as she holds her spot in the bed, "I know something better..."

You hold your circular hoof rubbing motion to her neck as you close the gap between herself and you, "Oh ya, what's th-ahHA...." You quickly turn your head away from Twilight's body as your eyes water a little with your building sneeze, "A-AhChowwo!"

You body rocks again with your loud expel as a few wisp of green magic shoot from your body, but you fall back to the pillow before you can question how or where the magic came from.

"Ughhh..." You snort your nose back as you move your hooves back to your face as you think, I don't know what's worse, being always sore in the morning or being sick instead of sore in the morning. As you hold the thought you realize something, oh crap this is the first time i've been sick right?

You move your hooves from your face as you blow out a loud sigh, great i'm going to die from an alien disease.

Your stuffy nosed voice doesn't get to come back to you or the room as the bed next to you shifts bringing Twilight back to face you. As the shifting in the bed stops you slightly turn your head to her playfully wide purple eyed smile, "...The thing thats better is soup." Her hoof comes to poke your side as another giggle springs from her, "My mom always said soup is the best thing for a cold."

Soup...naw i'm good. With a quick motion you take advantage of her turned position and her extended hoof as you move yourself to lay over her, making sure to keep your hooves to the bed so that you're not fully laying on her.

Her eyes close as she moves her face from yours, but you can still see her own blushed cheeks as she speaks up in a playful but serious voice, "No no, I don't want to get sick."

You give a chuckle to her whine as you hold your head a decent distance from hers, but your silent as you just look over her slightly closed eyes. Her lavender cheeks have become a darker shade from her slight blushing and her eyes only barely hold shut anymore as she turns there purple shine to stare at you.

From her blushed gaze you soften your playful smile as you just enjoy her cute and still slightly shy expression. You shift your weight from being over her, as you move towards the empty spot you left but you're not able to follow through your motion as the sound of small hooves comes clapping to the wood.

To the sound Twilight's horn sparks up in a quick bright purple that causes her figure to pop in a magical chime from under you as she teleported to the side of the bed. The absent weight under you causes you to slightly roll from the wrong way as your legs become trapped in the bed's tangled sheets you caused from your earlier quicker movements.

You hit the ground with a groan as you look to the hardwood floor you and your web of bed covers have lead you to.

Twilight's voice comes back as she moves towards the confused light purple filly, "Come on Violet lets get you ready for the day."

Violet's interest in your fall comes to an end as Twilight trots over to her position in the doorway.

You stand with the covers still hugging your body as you watch the two ponies leaving the doorway, "I'll make the bed."

End of chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 – Training a pro

Your eyes hold a half closed and slightly far off stare as you hold your gaze to the bowl of soup in front of you. Its not that the soup is bad in fact you're surprised Twilight made something that wasn't burnt or undercooked...but it most likely would be hard to mess up a soup. But despite Twilight's comment about her mother always saying soup was the best thing for a cold this in no way was a family recipe...Unless her family just so happened to write the cook book Twilight used.

The mostly tomato soup has a decent amount of carrots, green things and other vegetables you can't name mixed in giving it a unique flavor that actually is pretty good. But you can't imagine Violet liking it too much.

You shift your eyes to the light purple filly sitting in the chair across from you with the smaller grey stuffed doll sitting beside her. From Violet's slightly confused stare that's pinned to the soup there's no doubt she's regretting trying to copy your breakfast instead of just sticking with pancakes.

A smile crosses your face as you look over the filly, you know all she did was pick out and eat all the zap apple bits, but you can't really blame her seeing as how that's pretty much what you did. Although eating the magical apple might not have been the best idea, seeing as how you now have a weird craving for chicken soup. Which you can't figure out how or why you would keep a bird in a bowl seeing as how it would be just mindlessly flapping about trying to get out of the soup. Note to self, get a chicken?

You push the strange thought aside as you listen to the lavender mare's voice coming from beside you. Twilight has already rushed through her breakfast along with Spike as they continue to hold the conversation they started earlier, "...No Spike for the hundredth time, we are not going to keep another dragon if Violet's test is hatching a dragon."

Spike still holds his arms crossed and his boyish voice to a slight heightened tone as he speaks up, "But you admit there would be another dragon?"

Twilight's voice comes back with a slight groan as she shakes her head, "Like I said Spike I don't know, every ponies test is different. It could be a phoenix egg for all I know."

To the words Spike uncrosses his arms as he pokes his claw to his chest, "What does a phoenix have that I don't? They don't even have claws."

Don't have claws? You squint to the comment as you think to yourself, phoenix, fiery bird thing...birds have claws. A smile comes over your face as you float the spoon back to the soup, yep, i'm smarter than a dragon.

"You shouldn't use magic for something so simple."

You turn your head to Twilight's stare as you float the spoon to your hoof, as you do this your hoof's grip to the spoon becomes lapsed and you instead watch the silver spoon fall into the red slosh and disappear. A faint sigh comes over you as you stare to the void that has swallowed your spoon.

Twilight's stare has shifted back to Spike as her voice continues to the purple dragon, "And Spike you know you're more than just my assistant, you're my family two."

Spike's quite for a moment as he nods his head, but his claw comes back to Twilight as he speaks up, "Thats number one assistant by the way."

A slight giggle comes from Twilight as she nods, "Of course you are Spike."

As her giggle comes to an end Spike moves from the table with his head up with a sense of pride as he carries his plate towards the kitchen.

You look up from the table as you hold a slight confusion to their conversation, your voice is still slightly stuffy but not as bad as earlier, "So Celestia's test is hatching an egg?"

The comment brings a quick reaction from Twilight as she turns her head to yours, "No, there's all kinds of test..." Her eyes drift away from you as she starts to tap her hooves together, "There's breaking enchantments, creating enchantments, hatching a randomly selected egg with a form of magic..." She squints her eyes for a moment as she continues, "OH!" Her spaced out stare comes back to you as she smiles, "That reminds me! There's a few test that are just demonstration spells, like teleporting."

Her voice trails on as she turns back towards the filly, "Violet should hav-..." Her voice stops as you start up in a slight chuckle.

In the few seconds you and Twilight turned your gaze away from the little filly, Violet has placed Ms. Smarty Pants into the bowl and the stuffed doll has taken on a slightly sloppy red color from the soup its soaked up.

"Violet!" Twilight's stare turns a little hard as she looks to the soaked toy. But her voice comes back to her in a more calmed down tone as she sighs and floats the soup filled doll from the bowl, "Violet you shouldn't play with your food.

Violet holds a smile as she holds her hoof towards you, Twilight follows the filly's hoof as she turns her eyes to you.

From the lavender mare's stare you freeze for a moment as you take your hoof from the bowl and quickly abandon your search for the lost spoon, "Uh..."

Twilight rolls her eyes as she trots it to the kitchen with the dripping doll still floating beside her.

As the mare moves from the room you turn your eyes back to the happily wheezing filly as she lightly taps her hooves to the table to increase her child like joy.

You squint to her laugh as you push the bowl a little away from you, "I wasn't playing with my food."

To your voice Violet stops her giggles as she looks to you a little confused, as she taps her left hoof to her right and then brings her right hoof to run along her throat.

You blink to the motions as you think them over for a second, "Daddy's voice is different because he's sick."

The filly blinks to your words as she stares to the table for a second, but her hoove's silence doesn't last long as she again runs her right hoof through the length of her throat followed by another hoof motion.

You lose your smile as you think over her question silently to your mind, am I sick...You and Twilight both have dreaded the day Violet would start really asking about her own voice. You've kind of known the time would be coming soon seeing as how Violet has become a lot more aware of the world around her and the ponies around her.

But your heavy thoughts end fast as you shake your head, "No, there's nothing wrong with you."

The filly is silent for a second as her blue eyes move back to the table in thought, you look over her new expression as you quickly move your hoof to your failsafe.

You move the small plate with the rest of the uncut zap apple on it closer to you as you watch Violet's eyes quickly take hold on the magical fruit.

A faint smile comes over your face with a slight sigh as you savor the idea of being able to distract her, even for just a few minutes.

You move your eyes to where Twilight is for a second, but the coast is clear as you float the considerable apple part towards Violet, "Do you want me to cut it up for you?" You know she doesn't really need it cut up but its still something you feel the need to say.

The little filly shakes her head as she gets a happy grin and takes the apple to her front hooves. A part of you thought she would try to prove to you she's a big filly and cut it up herself, but instead she just brings the apple to her mouth as she bites to it whole.

Her eyes close as the crunch of the juice apple runs through the room, but her closed eyes don't stay closed for long as they burst back open to a wide almost shocked stare.

You squint to her sudden change in expression but the point of her quick change comes back as she takes the apple from her mouth and moves it in front of her face.

You look over the apple with a faint smile as you notice two little teeth sticking to the piece of apple. But to Violet the sight of her teeth not in her head sends the little filly into a quick and confused lip quiver as she turns the apple towards you still trying to hold her building emotion back.

You can't help but chuckle to the filly's upset and confused face but your fatherly instincts kicks in as you take the apple form the filly's slightly shaky hooves, "Its alright Violet, its just baby teeth."

The filly doesn't stop her silent whine as she brings her hooves to her mouth as her blue eyes start to flutter like shes about to cry.

To her new upset face you move from your seat across the table as you quickly move to the one next to her, you move your hoof to the filly's mane as you rub it trying to calm her, "It's alright Violet all little fillies loose their baby teeth."

Violet's quivering lips and fluttering eyes start to calm down a little as she continues to hold her hooves over her mouth, but as her soft blue eyes focus on your face she begins to calm down.

You give another slight chuckle to her as you continue to rub her mane, your stuffy nosed voice doesn't really give you the opportunity to give a good baby like voice but you push through it anyways, "I bet Mommy's going to be upset she wasn't here to see you lose your first baby tooth." At the end of your words Violet's eyes change a little back to their normal happier shine.

But your voice that rings through the house causes another to start up in a loud and almost fearful tone, "Violet lost what!"

End of chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 – Right or wrong...

You stop your hoof's motions on Violet's mane as you turn to Twilight's jaw dropped stare of the table, but you don't follow her stare as you speak up almost unfazed by her stare, "Ya? Violet lost her first baby teeth."

The light purple filly follows your head turn to the lavender mare as Twilight starts to stutter, "T-tooth? She lost a tooth!"

Twilight's magical purple hold of the clean gray doll drops as she gallops over towards you and Violet, "W-what happened how did it happen!" Twilight's voice has sparked up to a high pitched and confused tone that catches you off guard a little and you're unable to answer for a second..

But the tone has caused Violet's ears to drop down as her very low and faint wheezing whine starts back up a little.

You move back to rubbing the filly's mane as you attempt to calm her down, as the lavender mare looks to the zap apple with the two small teeth poking out from it, "She lost two! W-why how-did!" Her wide eyed gaze comes back to you as she impatiently waits for an answer.

You can't understand why she's so hyper and you have to admit her tone is starting to make you doubt your own gut feeling but for the upset filly's sake you hold true to it as you turn a stern face to the lavender mare that now stands right beside you, "She's fine it was just a baby tooth-..."

"Just a baby tooth?! W-what's that?" Twilight's own fear is causing her chest to race as her breaths start to become fast and rapid.

Violet's horn starts to spark up in a faint green glow as her eyes begin to become a little watery as she looks between you and Twilight, but your hoof that continues to rub to her mane stays a steady and soft pace as you look to the distressed mare beside you, "Twilight, its just a baby tooth, it grows back."

"NO they don't, w-what kind of a pony grows teeth back?!" Twilight's fast voice comes back as it shakes a little, "W-we need to take her to the hospital."

"The Hosp-...Twilight shes fine!" Your voice comes up and over hers as you bring her to a halt. The faint glowing from Violet's horn still holds but its not really noticeable as she starts to tilt her head to your side.

Twilight's stopped trot and quieted voice doesn't stay long as Spike's comes back to the room, "What's going on?"

Twilight's cool starts to slowly come back to her as she turns to the little purple dragon, "Spike, we need to go out for a little ok?"

Spike's silent as you both watch Twilight coming back to the table, her voice still holds her own worry but she's able to give the best sweet and calming voice she can as she talks to the little filly that has slightly buried her head to you, "Violet...sweetie, let me see your mouth."

Violet shakes her head as you hold her steady to the two chairs at the table, your voice comes back in a lower tone as you look to the two toned dark purple and bluish mane, "Violet, there's nothing wrong...we just need to see."

Theres a moment of tense silence but the little filly slowly moves her head from you as she turns her slightly tear filled eyes to Twilight, her hooves still cover her mouth but they slowly move away she closes her eyes and opens her mouth.

Twilight comes up in a gasp as she covers her mouth and looks to the filly's missing teeth, but you give a faint sigh of relief as you look to the two missing spots. Its very faint but even you can see two specks of white still embedded in the filly's gumline where the new teeth are coming in.

But Twilight's own worry keeps her from seeing them as she starts up the stairs, "I'll get Violet's winter stuff and then we'll go." You can tell from her voice that nothing you say is going to stop her, so you turn your attention back to the little filly that has moved back to her own seat.

Violet's scared and confused eyes still shake a little but you hold your low calming voice as you brush her mane it's at this point you notice her low green glowing horn that pokes up from her mane. You give a faint smile as your stuffy nosed voice comes back as you look her mane over, "Hey, at least your mane doesn't look like mommy's right?"

The light purple filly's confusion doesn't change but she gives a slight nod to your words as she looks blankly to the ground.

Spike comes over to the table as he looks over the zap apple, "How did she loose teeth? Ponies don't-..."

You shoot him a glare and his voice comes to a stop as he stumbles over his words until he can stop his sentence with a faint one ha laugh.

Twilight's fast sounding hooves comes back to the stairs as you turn to her floating Violet's things along with your own boots that Rarity made for you. Her voice has dropped its higher pitched tone and has now changed to her normal take charge and collected voice.

Your own voice is unable to come back to her as she floats your boots to you, Twilight's gaze comes to the filly as she floats her stuff to the table, "All right sweetie, lets get you ready..."

Violet's horn has stopped its glow but her confused expression holds as she looks over her boot that float towards her, but the little filly doesn't fight her mom's serious face as she lifts her hooves for the boots.

As Twilight's magic wraps to her saddle that rest on the table you speak up, "Twilight, shes fine."

To your words Twilight's eyes come to focus on you as she waits for the little filly to move from the chair, "Are you coming?"

You look over Twilight's expression for a second as you think over your own gut feelings; but you nod your head to her without a second guess.

End of chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 – Say ah

The trip from the house wasn't bad and the snow cover that layed on the road wasn't too bad, not that you could feel it with the boots anyways. You are glad that you decide to pop back up stairs and grab a scarf, so what if its Twilights at least its not pink and its warm.

But being warm kind of came with a trade of, going from warm to cold back to warm has made your cold come back a little bit worse.

You snort your nose back as you look around the room they brought you Twilight and Violet to, it feels like you've been here for hours and now that there's nothing left to look at the small hospital room it really is starting to feel like the whole day is gone.

You turn your gaze back to the light purple filly that sits on the doctor's examination table, er you think the tables name is if it has one. But as you look over the little filly that now moves her tongue through the spots of missing teeth you get a faint smile. Violet has calmed down since you three got here and shes now just more curious than anything.

Twilight on the other hoof has kept her serious face, she looks more like shes about to have some epic fight with Discord or some thing rather than just listen to some other pony talking. Your smile holds as you look over the lavender mare filled by your still apparent gut feeling that tells you nothing's wrong.

As your thought end the door to the room opens to a caramel colored unicorn wearing what looks like a ponified lab coat with a clipboard floating next to him.

"Ah, Mrs.Sparkles, what brings you three in today?" The stallion turns his eyes to the filly's stare as he continues, "Did somepony play out in the snow to long." As his words end he floats his clipboard towards the counter on the other side of the room from you and Twilight.

You give a quite sniffle of the nose as Twilight's voice comes back to the room, "Um no, Violet had a problem earlier this morning..."

Twilight's words make you roll your eyes for a second as you sit up a little more while her voice rings through the room.

Doctor Stable holds to Twilight's explanation word for word as she run through your morning, her voice still holds a little bit of its worry from earlier but as her story comes to its end she maintains her patient posture.

Stable nods his head with with his own bit of surprise, "Lost teeth? Well I must say that is strange, especially for a filly." Stable shifts his eyes back to Violet as he looks her over, "I'm not a dentist but I think I can at least see if its a problem of bone."

You squint to his words as you lean a little forward, ponies don't loose baby teeth but they have dentists?

"Hello Violet, would you mind showing me your teeth?" Stable gives a soft smile to the light purple filly as he waits for the filly to comply.

Violet hesitates for a second before the filly opens her mouth, as she does this Stable's horn sparks up in low blue as a small wood tongue pusher comes over Violet's tongue giving the stallion a better view. "Just say ahhh Violet."

The little filly blinks to the words as her own wheezing response tries to copy the stallion's, "Hhhhh."

It doesn't actually match Stable's but as Violet's slight wheezing response comes from her, his horn holds its glow as Violet's upper row of teeth take on the magical aura.
The low chime from the stallion's horn ends fast as he takes the small wood tongue pusher from the fillies mouth, but the glow of his horn doesn't change as he turns to one of the cabinets.

You don't follow the stallion's motions through as you look back to Violet's attempts at trying to get the wood taste out of her mouth.

"Alright, lets see what's going on." Stable floats a black see through piece of paper in front of him as his horn sparks up in bright blue glow. The empty black see through paper turns into a x-ray outline of Violet's mouth as he floats it past the lights of the ceiling to a holder on the wall.

As the paper comes to set in the x-ray holder the outline of see through paper becomes more clear, "Hmm..."

Twilight's usual know it all tone and expression is lost as the stallion continues to stare to the paper, "What is it?"

Stable's tone shows his confusion as he looks between Twilight and the paper, "Um, well it looks like where Violet's teeth were lost..." The stallion gives a slight chuckle as he squints to the paper, "It looks like shes going to grow teeth to replace them, and the replacements seem to be about the same size."

You hold a grin to Twilight as her eyes turn back to you, but you keep your mouth shut as you just enjoy the fact that you were right. In the silence Stable turns back to you and Twilight as he speaks back up, "It might have something to do with a magically induced birth, but I-I have never seen something like it before."

Twilight nods her head as her voice comes back to her, "So its...normal?"

A faint laugh comes from the stallion as he shakes his head, "Well I have never seen a pony loose teeth and then regrow them without the help of magic...but yes, this looks to be normal." The caramel stallion turns back to the paper as his voice continues in an almost fascinated tone, "If you see here it looks like there's a few other teeth that will fall out and be replaced, its really quite interesting."

You snort your nose back as you nod your head to his words, oh ya, baby teeth so strange... You turn your head to Violet as you think to yourself, congratulations Violet you just took your first step to becoming an alien ice bending bad ass...who wiggles her hooves a lot. The thought gives a bitter sweet taste to you seeing as how it helps to fuel your idea that ponies grow up too fast...

Twilight breaths a sigh of relief as she nods her head silently.

Stable floats the paper from the holder as he looks to Twilight, "Would you mind if I kept this, it really is something interesting."

Twilight squints the comment but she eventually nods her head yes, "Is there anything we should do Doctor Stable?"

The stallion floats the paper towards the counter under the cabinets as he thinks to himself, "Well if this was a result of her early birth perhaps doing magic would help her grow her teeth faster...Oh yes that reminds me..." Stable floats over the clipboard he set down as he speaks back up, "I know this is a little off topic but seeing as how we are talking about Violet's magically induced birth I feel it would just be better to know this now."
You and Twilight shift a little uncomfortably as you wait for the stallion to continue, "...Have you two thought about having another foal?"

"Um..." Twilight holds her stumbled sentence as she turns to you, but you hold off on your own answer as you and Twilight stare a little confused from the question, "...Why? Is there something we should know?"

Stable bobs his head as he trails on, "Well its been recorded that mares that go through a magically induced birth tend to have a longer carrying period."

You squint to his words as you speak up, "So like ten months not nine?"

Stable holds a confused stare to you as he pauses for a second, "Um...no, it would be around fifteen months instead of the normal eleven."

Twilight's eyes go a little wide at the comment as she nods her head, "Oh..."

You follow her wide eyed gaze as you think it over, fifteen months and Twilight can’t use magic when pregnant...You swallow hard as you hold your voice back.

The moment of silence starts to end with the sound of Doctor Stable’s hooves starting to move towards the door, "Um yes, but as for Violet I would suggest helping her with a few spells." He gives a slight chuckle as he looks to Twilight, "But I would think for Ms.Sparkle there should be no problem with that."

You and Twilight both capitalize on the change in mood as Twilight moves towards where Violet sits. As she moves towards Violet, Doctor Stable cocks his head to you, "You know, I have still yet to have you come in for...well anything."

You focus on making your voice sound normal as you shake your head, getting a physical from a stallion via hoof is not something you think you'll be trying anytime soon, "I'm fine."

Stable nods his head as he dips out from the room leaving the door open.

As you turn your head back to Twilight you notice her questioning stare of you, "What?"

She's quiet for a moment as she holds her questioning stare, but she speaks back up as she shakes her head, "Nothing, its just you really are different."

You give a faint laugh as you move from the door, "Said the talking horse."

She rolls her eyes as she and Violet start out the door.

End of chapter 4

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 – Weird is just normal

You give a little groan as you inevitably snort back your own sickness, as you give a light cough you speed your slow trot up to the library door as you duck inside using your magic to hold the door open for Twilight and Violet.

"There you guys are."

Your ears are attacked by a different boy like voice than you expected from Spike, and sure enough as you look to the room the cyan mare comes placed in your mind, "Hello Rainbow."

She doesn't really acknowledge your hello as she turns her attention to the happy little filly that has turned her own gaze towards her, "I thought you said nothing happened with Violet from the Elements of Harmony yesterday?"

"Nothing did." Twilight's horn sparks up as she starts to undo her saddle.

"Nothing?" Rainbow holds her confusion as she continues, "But Spike said you two went to the hospital?"

You speak up as you move the scarf from your neck and start to fold it up with your magic, "Thats because somepony over re-...."AhChowwo!" The scarf you had in your magic burst into flames and trickles down towards the ground in a few scraps of burnt fabric.

Twilight gives a loud sigh as she starts to help Violet undo her own saddle, "I told you not to use magic, a cold for a unicorn means there magic is affected by it."

You nod to the comment as you slip your boots off, but a dumb smile comes over your face as you think it over...I'm not a unicorn i'm a-...

"So what happened?" Rainbow's attention moves from the burnt pile of fabric as her voice comes back to the room.

"Well Violet lost two teeth and we had to-..."

Twilight's words are cut off as Rainbow waves her hoof towards her, "Wait wait wait, Violet lost a tooth? L-like Granny Smith?"

To the words Violet opens her mouth to Rainbow, the cyan mare stares to the two absent slots as she cocks her head back to Twilight, "That's not normal for a pony, is she alright?" Rainbow's tomboyish voice changes a little to a more mare like voice as she waits for an answer.

Twilight nods her head as she continues, "Well its not normal for ponies, but apparently it is normal." She nods her head to you.

As the cyan pegasus follows her nod you give a dumb but proud smile, "Really? That's weird."

Twilight gives a little giggle as she floats hers and Violet's stuff next to her, "Where's Spike?"

Rainbow nods up the stairs as her normal tomboyish banter starts to come back, "He said he went to get something."

As her words end the lavender mare starts up the stairs, but Rainbow's voice is only absent from the room for a moment as she turns back to the happy light purple filly, "Sorry Wheezy, I don't think I can play today."

The smile is slightly lost from Violet, but she brushes it off as she turns her attention to the doll that has been placed on the table.

As Violet moves from Rainbow's sight she turns back to you as she gives an annoying laugh, "Wait, did Twilight say you go sick?"

You roll your eyes to her enjoyment as she continues, "So can you just like shed your fur and like not be sick or something?"

The weird comment strikes you a little off but you shake your head with a laugh as you speak up, "No, can you?"

Rainbow shrugs your words off as she continues, "Hey, i'm not the pony that burns things with his mind from sneezing you know."

The sound of Twilight's hooves breaks your focus on the conversation as you and Rainbow turn to the lavender mare coming down the stairs followed by the purple dragon. But your sight stays to the two books that floats near Twilight as Rainbow speaks up, "Oh Twilight, Mayor Mare wants you to stop by Town Hall sometime next week so that you can start with the Winter Wrap up stuff."

The cyan mare holds her tone as she puffs her chest out a little more, "I still say there was nothing wrong with the way we use to clean things up."

Twilight nods to the comment as she floats the books to the table, "Thanks Rainbow, i'll make sure I stop by...." She taps her hoof to her mouth as she starts to think out loud, "I think I have some ideas on how to make it go a little bit faster."

Your curiosity in the conversation finally gets the better of you as you speak up, "What's Winter Wrap up?"

Rainbow, Twilight and Spike give you a confused look to your question but the lavender mare speaks up as she rolls through her normal tone, "Its when we clean up the snow around Ponyville to get ready for spring."

You think over her words for a second as you push through an unsure sentence, "That was fast."

Twilight nods to your comment as her slight know it all tone comes to her, "Celestia's years have a shorter full season but longer days, so winter is a little shorter."

When did we get into Celestia's year? You push the thought aside as you answer yourself, pony time...But before you can speak up Spike's voice rings past you as the purple dragon stares to the pile of burnt scarf, "What's this?"

Twilight doesn't even look to it as she starts towards the kitchen, "I'll get it up."

As the mare trots past you you put your head down a little, "Sorry Twilight."
She doesn't stop her trot as she goes past you. "Mmhm."

"So how long is Violet going to look like a professional Pony Puck player?" As Rainbow's words end you bring your voice back up as you hold a questioning look to the mare, "Pony Puck? Is that like hockey or something?" You quickly decided to just answer her question as you realize you're not going to get your own, "She should get them back pretty soon."

Twilight comes back into the room with a broom and dust pan as she talks, "Doctor Stable said a little bit of magic should help them come in."

Rainbow holds her usual cool expression but you can see a hint of confusion to her nod as you look her over, but she doesn't stay quite for longer than a second as her tomboyish voice comes back unfazed. "Alright, well i'll see you guys around, I still need to go and help Aj with keeping a few loose clouds away from the unsnowed farm."

You and Twilight wave goodbye to the cyan mare as she turns towards the door, as the door closes Twilight floats the broom and full dust pan towards the kitchen as she talks, "Well lets get started."

"Oh, wait!" Spike holds his claw up as he starts up the stairs, "I forgot to give you something Celestia sent." A wide smile comes over his face as he leaves from the room, but his smile doesn't transfer to you as you think over his words, Celestia sent something...great.

As Spike's footsteps start to ring from his ascent Twilight turns back to the table as her tone takes on a faint baby like tone, "Alright Violet lets see if we can start some of your magic training hmm?"

The light purple filly smiles to the words as Twilight continues, "Its to late to really start on anything too hard so we'll just try a few easy things. Filly magic is always better in the morning so we can start the other things tomorrow."

You speak up as you think over Twilight's words, "Remember it if she wants to."

Twilight nods her head as she turns back to you, "Of course." But your sight of her sly smiling face doesn't stay long as she turns back to Violet, "You want to try these spells like a big filly right?"

Cheater...You give a faint sigh to the words but you can't argue it as you watch Violet happily shaking her head yes.

"Twilight, here's what Celestia sent."

You turn your head back to the small purple dragon as he comes down the stairs waving a piece of paper next to him, "Celestia sent Violet's enrollment paper."

Twilight's smile comes back to her as she floats the paper towards herself, the smile she has put on is the same as yesterday's proud filled grin, but its a little bit more prominent as she looks over the page.

The page doesn't float long though as she put it to the ground and turns to Violet, "Lets start."

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 – Ms.Sparkle

If it was still morning when you, Twilight and Violet got back its been well past it now, you wouldn't think magic training would be mostly talk. But as Twilight has made it clear, magic can not be properly used without first understanding how its created. Nothing you haven't heard before, thoughts and emotions can create through using the big words Twilight has stated earlier in her lecture that you, Spike and Violet have been held captive to.

You move your eyes to the light purple filly, her ears still stay pinned to Twilight's words and her eyes don't really show the same slightly bored feeling that you're eyes most likely have. But you figure Violet would have had to get something different from Twilight seeing as how its not her magic.

You start to drift back to Twilight's words as it starts to sound like her tone begins to stand on its last leg, "...All magic effects the world around us and seeing as how it only takes a little bit more effort to manipulate that, this is why we'll start with a few simple spell breaks and spell bindings."

Twilight taps her hoof to her mouth as she gives a little giggle, "You know Celestia has even talked about ponies being able to imprint themselves on to items and that some items can even chose the pony that can break a bounding spell." She closes her eyes as she gives a giddy smile, "I was able to prove that when we found the Element's of Harmony."

You give a slight chuckle to her tone as you speak up, "So what's Violet doing again?"

Twilight comes down from herself induced high as she blinks to your words, "I'm going to enchant a book with a low spell and see if she can break it."

At the end of her words her horn sparks up in a low purple glow as she picks up one of the books from the table, you glance to the title of it as it takes on a slightly brighter purple glow, so long Magic for Derpy's.

As the purple shimmer of magic ends to the book Twilight floats the book towards Violet, "Alright Violet now all you have to do is open it."

The book comes to set in front of the little filly as she blinks a little confused to the request, but Violet doesn't jump on the opportunity as she taps her left hoof to her right.

"Well because its a way you can practice using magic." Twilight holds a smile as she looks to the filly.

Violet turns her gaze back to the book as she moves her hooves to it and tries to open, but the book's covers stay in their spot as she tries to open it.

After a few failed attempts Violet puts her hooves back to her as she just stares a little confused to the unopening book.

Twilight and Spike both give a faint laugh as the mare's voice comes back, "Violet, you first need to break the spell using your own magic."

Violet nods her head as her horn glows a faint blue, the chiming aura begins to engulf the book as it takes on the new blue shine but again nothing happens.

Twilight smiles happily as she floats the other book from the table, "That spell should take a little to get right, Spike lets see if we can fix Swirls book u-..."

Before Twilight's sentence can end the book Violet had comes up to Twilight open with a green aura of magic holding it to the lavender mare.

The little filly's horn holds the faint green glow as she holds a wide smile to Twilight.

"But...that spell should have taken at least thirty minutes?" Twilight takes the book from the green glow as she floats Swirl's journal back to the table.

You hold a smile to Twilight's confused stare as Violet's hooves come back up, you nod to the filly's request as your stuffy nosed voice comes back to you, "Of course we'll go play outside."

Before you stand from your seat Twilight's voice comes back as she talks, "Wait hold on, I want to try a few more things first."

Violet's attention comes back to the lavender mare as she listens to her words, "Lets see if you can break this spell." Twilight's horn again sparks up in purple glow as the book comes to a close again.

The sun outside has started to dip well out of the worlds view, most of the day has revolved around Violet's first day of magic training along with the few breaks for dinner and for the few times you and Violet decided to go outside. You do regret showing Violet an easier way to make a snowball out of magic, really not the best thing for a cold but you were more surprised your idea worked.

As you close the door behind you your gaze turns to the lavender mare that stands near the table with the quil held in her magical purple grasp, "Alright Spike, here you go." The paper comes up from the table as it rolls up and floats over to the dragon's claws.

"What's that for?" You stop your trot as you near the table.

Spike takes a deep breath before he blows a greenish colored fire to the paper that makes it disappear in a slight pop. As the pop ring around the room Twilight turns back to you, "Well Celestia said she still wants me to send friendship reports, so I decided to make one about what we've been doing with Violet."

You hold a smile to her comment as you speak up, "So your boasting about Violet's magic?"

A laugh comes from Twilight as she rolls her hoof to you as she continues, "No no, I just talked about Violet's first day."

You nod to her comment as you think, Celestia’s star student now has her daughter trying out for her school soon...Yep, Twilight's boasting.

"Come on Violet, i'll read you a story after your bath." Twilight trots over towards the little filly that continues to struggle kicking her boots off, Violet abandons her quest of free hooves as she follows the lavender mare up the stairs.

You watch them for a few moments before your eyes start to water with a building bodily reaction, "AhChowwo!" You give a slight cough as you snort your nose back fast.

A faint laugh comes from Spike as he walks away from the table with a slight yawn, "Maybe you should go to sleep early... His yawn ends as he looks to the window, "I'm lucky, I have no problem sleeping in a warm bed after a hot bath...ahhhh." A smile crosses his face for a second but it doesn't last long as he speaks back up with a sigh, "There better be a lot of warm water after Violet."

You give a little chuckle to his comment as you watch him start up the stairs.

End of chapter 6

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 – Sleepless

The dark night sky has creeped into the world over the last couple of hours, Twilight and you went to bed a few hours after she read to Violet and had her normal hour messing around with trying to recreate Star Swirl's old journal.

You can tell from Twilight's light snoring that shes fell into her deep sleep, your not really sure if she's always had a faint snore or if its just a sigh she really has allowed herself to sleep quietly at night without a care in the world.

You hold a little bit of envy to the fact the lavender mare can so easily drift into a nice slumber especially on cool nights, but you would want her to trade places with you. You clear your throat quietly as your running nose starts to drip back to your throat, giving you another reason you haven't yet been allowed to close your eyes.

A few more moment past as you continue to listen to every sound in the house, but as the minutes trail on in the dark room you finally decide to not just lay around.

You slowly start to slip from the bed's covers as you hold your gaze to the lavender mare, making sure to not change the way the covers are laying to her. As your hooves touch the ground you give one more quick look to Twilight, but her sleep has kept her from noticing your absence.

Using your ninja like skills you don't really posses you make it out of the room and into the hallway, there's no real goal in mind and you don't know why you feel like walking around the cold hardwood floor. But you also don't like laying in bed until you finally just pass out from your lack of sleep.

The library at night has always been a little weird, the smell of books combined with oak does always seem to be a little stronger at night.

Not really a bad thing seeing as how it kind of is opening you nose up as you continue your pointless walk of the house. Your trot has lead you down the stairs and you now just look around the slightly dark almost moonless area.

You look over the few books that sit to the table, most are the books Twilight used for Violet but the other is the old journal with a piece of paper stick out of it. You move over towards the book as you take it to your hoof and open it to the paper.

The room is too dark to really read anything so you take advantage of your own light as the paper and book it lays in takes on your magic's purple glow making it more readable. You study the words as you think them over, Violet Sparkle has been accepted into Celestia's school for gifted unicorns, after following and passing an entrance exam...

Your faint laugh comes over you as you clear your throat, ponies don't grow up too fast? You don't let your thoughts carry. As you do this you notice your purple glow starting to shift from its normal color, the faint chime that comes from the magic heightens a little as it sparks up in green glow.

You quickly drop the book and paper back to the table as a loudish thud of it rings around the room, your magical hold breaks as the sound from the table subsides.

Your breath strangely comes back to you a little heavy but you give a faint sigh of relief you realize it didn't burst into flames...and that you didn't get sucked into a book. You only hold your gaze to the table for a few seconds.

"You ok?"

The quite feminine voice makes you jump a little as you turn back to the lavender mare that stands mid way down the stairs.

A feeling of guilt comes over you as you realize she wouldn't had woke up if you didn't drop the book, but your voice comes back as you start to trot over towards her, "Ya, i'm fine. Just um..." You stutter with your words as you try to come up with something.

But she doesn't wait to hear your response as she smiles, "Are you worried?"

You pause to her words as you think them over, but you swallow hard as you shrug, not really knowing how to answer.

Twilight's eyes flash a bright green glow as a strange smile comes over her, "You shouldn't be?"

A rush of the cold world's air rushes to your nose followed by an unwanted amount of sickness as you give a quick cough. You shoot your eyes around the room for a moment as you place yourself, the room like it was in your dream is dark only lit by the high hanging moon.

You move your eyes towards the mare still sleeping next to you, her sleep has not even missed a moment, which is a pleasant surprise seeing as how she usually can feel you wake up.

A faint sigh comes from you as you shift your eyes to the ceiling, at least that's one way of knowing it was just a dream...You would have never had known you left the bed a lot earlier. With a silent chuckle to yourself your mind gets a little calmed and you feel as though you might be able to drift back to sleep without a problem...if you can keep your mind clear. Note to self, become a dream reader.
