The rise of PegaPony Mare

Celestia's sun rose up from the horizon. A new day has begun. If only something special happened this day... oh...

Applebloom woke up from her sleep. "That must be one of the weirdest dreams ah've ever dreamt," she said to herself, thinking of what had happened. "Aw, who am ah kidding? That was real that happened yesterday."

Applebloom had a lot of thoughts about what had happened and what she had become. She finally decided to ignore it for now and went downstairs.

Near the kitchen, Applebloom saw Big Macingtosh and AppleJack. "Good morning, sugarcube."

"Good morning, AppleJack," Applebloom replied. She wondered if she should tell her about yesterday, but another idea came into Applebloom's mind.

"Do you mind if I go to Twilight's library?" Applebloom asked, hoping for the answer to be yes. She didn't want to confuse AppleJack or give her too much news.

"Sure, AppleBloom."

"Thanks," Applebloom said before trotting out of Sweet Apple Acres.

"I wonder what she's gonna do," AppleJack said to herself.

_______________________________________________________________________

Applebloom came closer to the library. She knocked on the door, waiting for Twilight to open it.

The one opening the door was Spike. "Hi Spike, is Twilight here?" Applebloom asked.

"Yeah, she's here," the dragon replied.

Applebloom followed Spike in. She saw Twilight trotting around. It looked like she was searching for something.

"Um, Twilight? Can I ask ya something?" Applebloom asked the alicorn princess.

"Sure, what is it?" Twilight asked while levitating a few books.

"Whatcha doing?" Applebloom asked.

"I'm currently searching for a book I read. I can't seem to remember where i left it, though," Twilight said. "Was there anything else?"

"Yes. Have ya heard of a orange colored flower with white thorns?" Applebloom asked, hoping Twilight would know anything about the strange flower.

"Applebloom, this flower... I've read about it in a book. They are supposed to be rare. They only grow in the Everfree Forest," Twilight said.

"What does it do?" Applebloom asked.

"The flower is enchanted with a lot of magic. If a creature touches it, the creature will get it's magic," Twilight said. A question came into her mind. "Have you by any chance seen one?"

"Yes, I was unlucky to get near some," Applebloom said.

"That's Great!" Twilight shouted. "I mean, those flowers are supposed to be rare. Where did you find them?"

"Ah don't remember Twilight, I just found them in a bush across a small river. Honest."

"Uh, I guess I shouldn't expect you to know it either," Twilight said.

"What does the flowers do anyways?"

"Well, if I can remember from the book. The flowers could give the creature who touches them magical powers or special gear. They will most likely make that creature powerful."

"So that explains my new special powers?" Applebloom asked.

"I guess so, can you show me them?" Twilight asked, hoping to get to see what the flowers could have done.

Applebloom focused. She tried all she could on returning to the form she called PegaPony. A magical yellow aura covered Applebloom.

"Applebloom! Are you alright?" Twilight asked.

The magical aura vanished, revealing the shape of a pegasus. "This is what the flowers did."

Twilight looked at Applebloom. She couldn't believe her own eyes. "Did anything else happen?"

"Yes, this," Applebloom said while pointing her hoof towards the floor. A flaming light arrow appeared out of thin air, almost as if it was magic controlling it. The arrow went straight to the wooden floor. "That's not even all."

Applebloom closed her eyes and focused. She tried to think of what she did yesterday. Using her 'magic' she teleported a few meters to the side.

"That's amazing! How did you learn to do that so quick?"

"It's almost like ah've been born like this," Applebloom said. She couldn't understand why Twilight were so happy about this. How could she explain this to Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle? 'Perhaps Twilight is only excited about I can do,' Applebloom thought.

"Have you told this to anypony else?" Twilight asked.

"No, ah haven't," Applebloom said.

"Why not? Don't you know what this could mean? You just discovered the full effects of those flowers!" Twilight was excited. She wondered how Celestia would react if she sent her a letter about this.

"Ah just don't want to..."

The conversation was interrupted by Twilight getting a sudden headache.

"Oh no. My emergency spell tells me something bad is happening," Twilight said.

"Your emergency spell?" Applebloom asked.

"It's a new spell I'm testing, but that's not the point. Something bad is happening... Spike! Can you watch over the library until I'm back? Applebloom, follow me."

They both galloped through Ponyville until they reached the dam.

Applebloom looked at the dam. Some builders were repairing it, but she also noticed cracks that appeared. The cracks made a chunk of the dam fall apart. "Watch out!" Applebloom said while flying to the builders below.

The builders noticed a giant boulder falling down. They were preparing for the impact, but it never happened. The boulder didn't hit them. One of the builders looked up, and saw a pegasus lifting the boulder. "Thanks, whoever you are."

"The name's PegaPony..." Applebloom said, while throwing away the boulder.

"I have never seen any pegasus with such strength," another builder said. "You must be some kind of superpony."

"What? The boulder didn't seem that heavy," Applebloom said. She didn't notice the crowd of ponies gathering around.

A reporter mare came towards Applebloom. "You've just saved a bunch of builders from falling rocks. Who are you, brave mare?"

Applebloom took some time to think before answering. "Ah am PegaPony. The earth pony, with wings," Applebloom explained, trying not to sound weird.

"Let's all give this mare a big applause, shall we?" the reporter asked the crowd.

Applebloom couldn't believe this. Was she actually saving a bunch of ponies. Did she receive applause? Applebloom looked at her flank. Her cutie mark was a golden mask.

This day was a day she was going to remember.
