Adventures with S&J
3 - Moving In
Previous Chapter"Wake up...you damned log!" Vernon cursed as he tried to wake up Stelle for the fifth time. "Uh..is it school already mom...I dont want to go to school.." Stelle mumbled in her sleep. Vernon shook his head and went near Stelle's ear. "WAKE UP!" he yelled. Stelle's eyes blearily opened to look at him as she mumbled. "What time is it..Vernon..."
He looked at the clock that says its 9:45am. He replied. "Its time for breakfast." Stelle looked at him. "Okay. let me just change my clothes." With that Vernon exited their chambers and explored down the large hallway with paintings of ponies hanging up on the wall. He swore one of them looked like the wizard dressed in blue from some movie.
As he rounded a corner, there were a pair of guards that stood by a wooden door. He asked the guards. "Where does this door lead to?" The guards replied in monotone. "Storage for bits and ancient artifacts" Vernon just nodded and went back the way he came, as he neared their suite door it glowed yellow before it slammed open making him jump.
"The fuck Stelle!?" He yelled. "Was not me! I swear! I was just thinking about opening the door with virtual hands and it glowed yellow before slamming open! She replied hastily. "Why would you even think about that? You know what, dont answer." Vernon shook his head before an idea popped up. He went to her duffel bags and got an orange out of it.
"Stelle, think about carrying this orange with virtual hands, SLOWLY." He said while he puts the orange on the floor. She nodded and concentrated. After about a few seconds the orange glowed a yellow color and flew one meter off the ground. "Oh my god..Stelle, look!" Stelle opened her eyes and looked at the floating fruit before grinning. "I can use magic! Yes!" She grinned. She then dropped the orange.
"Okay how about we really go eat up now. Im hungry" He said while his sister nodded in approval. As they walked down the hallways, they asked guards for some directions, and soon found the door leading to a table where the seven ponies they met sat and the two princesses. The table was smaller as Celestia and Luna use this room for private dinner, or in our case breakfast.
As they walked to the remaining seats, they were greeted by the nine ponies, which we returned. A waiter walked up to us to give us a menu with what they have. "What are you gonna eat on this menu, too much green for me." Stelle said. "Hmm..I might have that mushroom soup with seasoning and buttered bread." Vernon said. "I will have that one too then." Stelle replied. Soon the waiter came back to take their orders and left them again. Vernon decided to start a conversation with the ponies.
"Soo..Where do you girls live?"
"We live in Ponyville!" Pinkie pie chirped out
"Ponyville? Where is that?" Vernon asked.
"Ponyville could be reached by taking the train there, though it would take 4 hours, or we could take the chariot, which is must faster." Twilight replied.
"So, all of you guys live in ponyville?" Vernon asked.
All of them nodded.
"Okay, did you girls have any adventures together?"
"Yeah we did! We had alot of fun doing them together! Right girls?" Rainbow Dash stated.
Six shouts of approval were given.
The waiters given their food as they began to eat up.
They began packing up their items in preperation for ponyville. Vernon had already packed his while helping Stelle pack up her bags. Soon they were all packed up and ready to go.
They walked around until they found the seven ponies waiting by the large chariot being pulled by two winged pegasi guards. "Ready to go?" Spitfire said. He looked at Stelle and nodded. We went in the chariot after the seven ponies are inside.
"How is this faster than a train?" Vernon asked. "You will see." replied a smirking Rainbow Dash.
"Im not seeing anyth-whoa whoa holy shit!" Vernon cried out as they got pulled into the sky. "Holy...Awesome ride this one is." Stelle said while looking at the hills. Vernon looked back and see Canterlot fading quickly into the distance.
"How fast are we going exactly?" Vernon asked. Stelle hummed for a moment before replying "I think..240 miles per hour?" Vernon sat there gawking at the pegasus who were pulling the chariot. "I believe you. cause you proved me wrong too many times already, Stelle." With that they all giggled at Vernon's expression, soon he joined in.
After the quick ride to Ponyville. They landed near the tallest building on the village. Which Stelle and Vernon assumed was the Town Hall. They looked around and saw beige colored houses with wooden struts supporting them, straw rooves and ponies making a crowd around them.
"Oh look, Vernon, you're finally popular." teased Stelle. "Oh..shut up." Vernon said while playfully punching her lightly in the shoulder.
After much of Twilight trying to make the crowd around us disperse and casual conversation between the seven ponies and two humans the crowd around them finally dispersed.
"Now then, we are gonna go back to our places and fix up some things, you guys can check out the area for a bit." Pinkie Pie was already gone by then, where did she even go anyway? As the six ponies went off their buisness, I asked Stelle where does she want to start checking. "How about that gingerbread house?" she said excitedly. "Alright, lets check that out." Before they reached the front door of the gingerbread house, they bumped into three fillies.
"Sorry mister, ah didnt see you there" Said a filly with a yellow coat, Red mane, and a bowtie tied on. "Scootaloo here does not know how to drive this scooter of hers properly."
"Hey! You were the one who said there was no ponies going across here Applebloom!" said a filly with an orange coat, purple mane, and a helmet on her head while pointing at the yellow filly.
"Did not!" replied Applebloom
"Did too!" countered Scootaloo
"Did not, these ponies are not even ponies!"
"Argh!"
"Girls! Will you stop fighting and say hello to the two legged ponies staring at us?" a white coated filly with a two tone purple mane said.
"Alright" Applebloom and Scootaloo said simultaneously, before glaring at each other.
"Hello mister, ahm Applebloom!"
"Im Scootaloo!"
"And im Sweetie Belle!"
"And together we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders! Yay!" They said in unison.
"Do you have a cutie mark?" asked Sweetie Belle.
"Uh..no..because our species does not have Cutie Marks." Vernon said.
"Really!? No Cutie Marks?" Said Applebloom
"Then how do you know your special talent?" Said Scootaloo
"We kinda..figure it out on our own and go on from there." Stelle said.
"Oh." Sweetie Belle said.
"Girls! We are late for the crusadin'!"
"Oh no! Sorry, we gotta go, see you!" With that they ran off.
"Well..That was unexpected." Vernon said to nobody.
Once the duo arrived in the gingerbread house, a blue mare with a pink mane greeted them behind a counter. "Hello, dears, looks like you both are new to the town. Here, have a cupcake, on the house. Oh, and watch out for Pinkie Pie, she's a fiesty one." They thanked the mare and ate their cupcakes before continuing on. As they continued walking, they reached a gate and behind it were an orchard of apples.
"Why howdy there, this here is Sweet Apple Arces! Where the freshest apples are made in this lovely village. You wanna meet the Apple family? Of course you do!" Applejack said behind the fence. "Follow me." She then trotted off. "Might as well." Vernon said before following the mare with Stelle tagging behind.
As they walked along a dirt road, soon they spotted a red barn up a hill. "That's your house?" Vernon asked Applejack. "Yup! It might be old, but it still does its job nicely. Soon they arrived at the entrance and Applejack introduced them to Granny Smith, Applebloom, and Big Macintosh. "Well, thats all the Apple Family there is on this part of land, though, there are a lot more on a small town called Appaloosa. You should check that town if you want to visit them!"
They bid their goodbyes and went on. "Hey Vernon? Should we go Rarity's?" Stelle asked. "Alright, might as well." They asked for directions, though that one unicorn kept staring at their hands, They got lost three times before finding a house which is decorated delicately with purple walls and big windows.
"Lets see if this is it." Stelle knocked on the door, after a few moments Rarity showed up on the door. "Hello darlings, what can i do for you?" While Stelle was conversing with Rarity, Vernon checked out the windows. 'So, she makes clothes, well I might ask her a favour..' He thought to himself. He walked back to Stelle was still conversing with Rarity. "-ure wearing are terrible, you do know that right?" was all Vernon heard but is obvious enough what they're talking about to figure it out.
"Rarity? If our clothes are that terrible, could you make us casual clothing?" Instantly, Rarity pushed both of us into her shop. "Really!? Great! So, Do you want Casual or Formal clothing?" She asked. 'Hmm, the Gala is in one week and I do need new clothes cause these ones are beginning to reek.' Vernon thought for a bit. "How about both? Could you handle that?" He said. "Of course i can! And i assume you would like Casual and Formal too right, Stelle?" Rarity said. Stelle nodded.
"Great! Now all i need is your measurements, and to do that you would need to take off those flithy clothes." Stelle and I instantly turned red in the face. "Uh..could we at least keep our pants on?" Stelle manage to choke out. Rarity cocked her head to the side confused. "What are pants?" Vernon facepalmed. "Pants are the lower clothing covering the legs, we kinda need those..cause we really dont want to be seen naked."
Rarity is still confused. "Why would you not want to be seen naked?" 'Stelle is so red that i swear she would burst before i could diffuse this.' he thought. "Uh, because the pants are covering our..unmentionables, and for men, they kinda..dont have a sheathe." Rarity finally caught on and went bright red. "Oh..Alright you could leave those pants on."
After taking our measurements, Rarity shooed us out of her shop and her reason was a surprise. 'Gee, I wonder what Rarity has got in store for us.' Vernon thought.
They walked around aimlessly until they spotted a large oak-tree with a door on the front. "Wonder who's house is that?" Stelle asked. "I dont really know why they would want to live in a tree though" he answered.
They knocked on the door and waited. Soon Twilight emerged on the other side of the door. "Hey guys! What brings you here?" she asked. Stelle just happened to want to find her too. "Could I practice magic with you? Please? I learned to levitate too!" Stelle demonstrated by levitating the oak library a few meters off the ground before slamming it back down to the ground again. "Whoops..that kinda did not work." she mumbled. Twilight was there staring at her flabbergasted. "We might need to train you on how to control that magic." she said before allowing her in the library and closing the door.
'Well, I might as well train my wings that grew when i was knocked the fuck out.' Vernon thought. He found a park nearby and decided to find out how to use his wings there. "Alright..lets try to extend them." he tried tensing his hands, to no avail. "Argh, this is way harder than thinking about virtual damn hands grabbing everything." He then tried tensing his whole upper body, that did the trick, his wings extended out 2 meters away from him. "Woah, this is one pair of wings." He mumbled to himself. He relaxed and the wings returned to their folded state. He tried tensing them again, but this time he didnt tense his shoulder muscles, the wings extended, but was parallel to the ground. He tensed and relaxed repeatedly, and the wings soon started lifting him up.
---Stelle's POV---
"Okay, since you know how to levitate, try levitating this." Twilight then gave Stelle a quill and two ink bottles. 'Hmph, there is three items..and two virtual hands. Bah, the hell of it. I will try picking them up by visualizing 3 hands picking them up..and a surprise spell for Twilight.' she thought. She tried that, and concentrated. Soon enough, all the items that Twilight gave her are floating one foot off the table.
"Great! Now try a simple spell, shoot the target over there." Twilight pointed at a circle target with a red dot in the middle. 'Huh, shooting things. lets imagine my virtual hands carrying a bow and arrow with a lightning bolt as the ammunition.' She concentrated on the visualization. After four minutes of focusing, an apparition of a bow and lightning bolt appeared and took aim. Another two minutes, the bow fired and hit the red dot, Scorching the paper target. "Astonishing! Alright, lets try simple teleportation, try teleporting 1 meter infront of you." Stelle scrunched her face up. 'Teleportation..Huh, well im gonna have a hunch its not gonna need hands...lets try visualizing me on the destination.' She tried it. After fifteen minutes, she vanished, reappeared behind Twilight, touched her. And surprised Twilight, she became invisible too.
Twilight stood there, astonished at what Stelle just did. "W-what!? That was an advanced spell! How did you do that so quickly!?" Stelle reappeared infront of Twilight and smirked, she decided to play with Twilight for a bit, "By being your student, of course." Twilight stood there like a statue. "I will be back next week to study more teacher!" Stelle laughed and waved goodbye before going out.
---Vernon's POV---
'The wings are lifting me!' He thought excitedly. 'Now how do i hover..' He contemplated that for a bit before slowing his flexing, and evening them out. 'There! Hovering, Yeah!' He smiled before trying to go forward. He tensed everything except his lower half, and the wings sprang perpendicular and shot him a few meters forward. 'Woah! Too much, lets try to go slower.' He tried flexing them evenly this time, after an hour of failing he managed to go forwards, backwards, upwards, downwards and even do a barrel roll. 'Amazing! Heh, Lets try going faster.' He smirked before blasting off, His adrenaline was pumping, it was exhilarating, he was glad he could teach himself to fly. He went faster, and angled himself upwards, and shot up into the sky. "Woo hoo! Im flying!" He yelled. He angled down, and blasted towards the ground, he then glided down the library entrance and leaned on the structure for support, where Stelle was waiting, smirking at his performance.
"Did you enjoy your flight?" Stelle asked him. He grinned "Yeah! It was an amazing experience to fly, though, did you enjoy doing magic?" Stelle's grin grew. "Yeah! I managed to make a ghost bow or something and shoot, and become invisible!" They both smiled at each other and fist-bumped. "Well, who should we visit next?" Stelle contemplated this. "How about Fluttershy?" Steven smiled. "Now where does that pony live exactly?".
After hours of searching they found Fluttershy's cottage..Though she was not home, it seems. "Huh, well that sucks..Lets return to Twilight and ask her where she is." Stelle nodded. "Sounds like a good plan." They walked over the bridge where they came from and viewed their surroundings. "Huh, why is nobody outside? Strange, its only 7:00pm, there should still be ponies walking around." Stelle said. Vernon looked around and hummed. As they reached Twilight, they knocked, nobody answered. "Well, she wont mind us going in without permission now." Stelle opened the door, just to be greeted by pitch black darkness. She went in, followed by Vernon. "Huh, suddenly this place is a ghost to-"
SURPRISE!
Stelle and Vernon jumped. They both looked up just to see a banner 'Welcome to Ponyville, Vernon and Stelle!' They looked at the ponies and smiled. "Thank you guys! We appreciate you making this party for us!" With that statement, the music started and the library was packed with dancing ponies. Vernon and Stelle sat on a nearby couch. But soon they were dancing there along with the ponies.
"Lets Party!"
