Steven stirred as the rays of the sun began piercing through his eyelids, he grumbled and shoved the blanket over his head.
He didnt like waking up in the mornings, he had yet to see a person who likes waking up to mornings. He tried to go back to his sleep, to no avail. Toss and turn as he tried, he could not go back to the slumber he hoped come back to him. 'Well if i cant get back to sleep i might as well get up and do shit.' He thought. He tumbled out of bed and groggily shuffled to the door, he glared at the sun, which was a bad idea. He clamped his eyes shut tight as he groaned.
While using both hands to massage his eyes, he continued his shuffle towards the door. He opened his eyes and let them refocus, just as he was about to leave his room he looked at the calendar on his bedroom door, the date was the 27th August 2087. He wore an expressionless mask until he saw whats written on the date. His face instantly had an ecstatic expression plastered all over it.
He looked over his bedroom. A generic nightstand, bed, vanity, window with no curtains and of course his favourite thing in his bedroom, the closet. He was proud he got that thing as messed up as it is now. Even his younger sister, Jocelyn was not able to get her closet as messed up as his, and she was the "Leave empty plate at table and get older brother to clean it" kind of woman.
'Enough about that.' he thought. He had to wake up her sister as they were going for the trip they anticipated most of the month. He walked to Jocelyn's bedroom, as soon as he went through the door, he stood still baffled. Her sister was not there. "Jocelyn? Where are you!" he yelled. "In here!" Came a muffled response from somewhere in her room.
"What the hell? Where are you!? You know you better come out of wherever the hell you are and ready up because today is the day!" Faster than his eyes could process she bolted out of her closet, said hello to him and ran to the bathroom just to slam the door. He stood there slackjawed. 'What the fuck? how did she do all that in like one milli- you know what fuck that i wont even try to understand.' he thought.
He walked up to the bathroom door "You better hurry up in there, I need to use it too." He said next to the bathroom door. "Alright!" came a response behind the door. 'Might as well make breakfast, though i do not know how to cook anything other than eggs and bacon.' He thought. "Well, eggs and bacon it is." he mumbled. As he went to the kitchen, he smirked as he thought about the trip. "Heh, this trip is gonna be amazing." He said to nobody in particular.
------
After eating breakfast and finished washing themselves up, they proceeded to pack up their things for the one month trip. While all he needed were an automatic autoreloading railgun, his old faithful glock, the essentials for hygiene and clothes, Jocelyn has 2 duffel bags full of who knows what. "Whatcha got in the bags?" He asked her. "I have clothing, toiletries, toothpaste and brush, towels, Hiking gear, and some snacks." Came her response.
"Well im glad someone knows what to pack, why do you need the hiking gear anyways?"
"You never know when they come in handy."
"Eh, alright. Lets just get on my truck and get this trip started."
She followed him to the garage where his old pickup was parked. They stuffed their belongings on the bed of the pickup and put the lid over it. He tried to start the vehicle, TRIED. "What the hell happened to this damned piece of crap again?" He said. "Did you check the fuel gauge?" She asked. He went over to the dash and when he got a look he facepalmed. There was no fuel on the thing. "Fuck, this thing eats fuel like the fatass it is. Luckily I have some gas over here somewhere.." He trailed off as he searched for the fuel needed.
After about four minutes he found them, refueled and started the truck, thankfully it was just fuel not some engine problems, otherwise that would mean they would walk. The garage doors opened up and they began driving to their destination, it was pretty far, a four hour drive approximately. As they got stuck in traffic He tried to start a conversation with his sister.
"Hey Jocelyn?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you planning on doing once we get to the destination?"
She went silent for half a minute before responding.
"I think I might go prank some people with my magical powers of being sneaky which you dont have." She smirked. He grumbled. "Hey I was wearing hard leather shoes on smooth tiled floor, does not count!" She laughed. As the ride continued, they gradually got bored and Jocelyn went to sleep. He stared at her. "Damn she gets to sleep and I get to drive? Not fair at all." He whispered under his breath. While still staring at his sleeping sister, he failed to notice a pure black hole burst open a few hundred foot infront of them. Once he looked back at the road his eyes widened as he slammed on the brakes, though at that point it was too late as they went through the hole.
Once Steven came to half his consciousness, he was at the foot of a mountain and a few feet away from him is the still sleeping Jocelyn and the bags we packed. "She sleeps like a rock if she wants to." he sighed. He began to study his surroundings. Nothing but hills and trees a couple of meters away. He looked up and gaped at what he saw. 'Did i just see a fucking castle imbedded in the side of mountain?' He asked himself. He shook his head and looked again, and sure enough, it was still there..Along with flying dots too small to recognise, probably birds. "We need to get up there. We only have approximately a day of food packed." He said to himself. "This was not on my to-do list on the trip.." He carried the duffel bags and his knapsack.
As he strapped his knapsack behind his back, he felt immense amount of pain as he tightened the bag. He grunted and unstrapped the pack and took a look at his back. "The fuck?" There was a bulge under his jacket and undershirt. He removed both clothing from his upper torso and looked again. He blinked a few times and thats when consciousness came in. "What the fuck? Why do i have wings!?" Sure enough, dark grey wings were attached just below his shoulders. He will have to worry about that later, for now, shelter and food.
He put his clothing back on and walked over to Jocelyn. As he neared her sister. He noticed a horn protruding from her forehead. Shaking his head he shook her sister. "Get up. Come on.. Get up!" Jocelyn bolted into a sitting position. "Finally you're awake." He sighed. "Are we there already? Thats pretty quick." She said groggily. He shook his head.
"Unfortunately, No. We are at the foot of some mountain with a castle built at the side of it." Amazingly she spotted the bulge on my back. "The fucks under your clothing?" She questioned. He countered. "Well what the fuck do you have on your forehead?" She was confused until she touched the horn that was there since we awoke here. "What..." She is still confused "Whats on my head?" he gave her a small mirror. A few seconds passed before she screamed. "What the fuck! Whats on my damned head!?" he shrugged. "Beats me. As soon as we awoke we had this. And to answer your question the bulge under my clothing are wings."
Jocelyn gaped. "Wow you get wings and i get a..whatever this shit is. So unfair!" She mocked an angry expression. Im the guy who cant read fake or genuine expressions. So I tried comforting her. "H-hey its not like i wished i have these wings and you wished you have a horn on your forehead!" She narrowed her eyes and smiled. 'Smooth move, idiot' He thought to himself.
"Lets just try to scale this mountain, its almost sunset. Do you have your hiking gear with you?" She nodded and took the items mentioned out. "Alright, lets scale this until we reach the castle on the mountain." As they started scaling the thing, they were halfway there but the sun was gone, as they continued, they stumbled upon a small cave.
"How about we try to camp here? I have the neccesary tools to make a campfire." Jocelyn said. "Seems like a good plan. lets just hope nothing is inside the cave we are gonna bunk in now." Entering the cave. there were various rats and the occasional bat that flew out into the mouth of the cave. As Steven was setting up the sleeping bags he looked outside. The moon is now shining along with stars. "We better get some rest, we will need it tommorow." Jocelyn nodded as she started the fire. Soon he heard light snoring coming her way.
He stepped out of the cave and looked at the castle a few hundred meters above them. Lights were on the castle. 'So there is civilization there.' He thought. 'We are gonna ask for directions on how to get back to our home. or at least the damned general area, if not then at least find a decent enough shelter in this place.' With that he turned and went back to the cave just to miss a creature too dark to recognise flying just above the cave entrance. He lay down on his sleeping bag. Soon he was asleep with his sister.
Steven awoke to her sister rapidly shaking him. "Ugh what, what?" he said half-awake. "Wake up!" Came his sisters voice. He bolted up and looked at his sister. "What happened?" he asked. "Nothing. Just wanted you to be awake for breakfast." His sister said. "Oh, well thanks, I am starving."
"What are we gonna do when we reach the castle?" His sister asked while chewing a sandwich. "Hmm..we will sneak into the castle..And I have not planned this far yet." Came his response. "You nuts? There might be armed men up there or something." she replied. "Thats why were sneaking." He then smirked. "Besides, you said you have the magical powers of sneaking. Did you not?" His sister had a look of determination. "Well if we are gonna sneak in we might as well climb the damn thing until we hit a balcony or something."
After finishing both their breakfast, they packed up their sleeping bags and continued to scale the mountain. His sister was a few meters ahead of him. The castle was almost there when Jocelyn slipped.
"Aaah!" her descent was stopped by her brother catching her. "Get a sturdy rock to grip on to. Quick!" he yelled. She did just that and continued climbing up the mountain. "You alright?" he said. "Yeah, just fine. Almost fell of a mountain but im fine."
Now they were at the foot of the castle, to say the castle was huge was an understatement. Tall spires with golden tips go high up into the heavens. Marble walls are decorated with delicate carvings and designs. Gardens with flowers that bloom in the night or winter do not exist in his world. But that was not what caught Steven's attention. He stood behind a wall gawking at the horses with clothing, some wings, some horns, some without either appendages.
He hid back behind the wall and whispered to her sister "Hey, you see those?" he looked back to confirm what he saw was not him being insane. Though they were too small to be horses, ponies maybe? "See what? The castle?" Her sister said. He redirected her gaze to the ponies. She gaped at the ponies and was about to scream when Steven blocked her mouth with his hand. "Shh, we need to sneak up the castle." She nodded as he took his hand away.
"So the people who are living here are ponies?" She whispered. "Probably, though we need the sharp things you use to even climb this thing, its smooth marble." he said.
As they started climbing up the walls. They got a look at the castle's surroundings. Early 20th century houses were scattered beyond the castle walls. The houses had straw roofs and marble walls. Though some houses have the modern ceramic plated roof and brick walls. Bars and even shops could be seen in the distance too. They were almost at the top before one of Steven's picks fell off.
"Shit! Jocelyn, go up first and toss me your pick."
Jocelyn reached the the top and tossed her extra pick to Steven, which he caught mid-air, as he climbed up the balcony on the tallest spire. "Phew, glad we didnt get caught, or fall." His sister said. "Yeah, I thought I was toast when my pick slipped from my hands." He responded
"I have never seen such a creature before.." An unfamiliar voice reached both of them. They whipped around just to see a tall pony with wings and a horn, huge magenta eyes and white coat. It was a she considering the voice.
"Now, what are you doing in my room?" The pony's room included a Vanity, mirror with mysterious symbols and figurines on them, a queen-sized bed, bathroom, Bookcases, red rug, notes, ink and quills and a few cushions.
They both stared at each other then at the pony and fainted.
Steven stirred to unfamiliar voices. He caught some of the conversation.
"What kind of creature is that?"
"That one has nice wings, awesome wingspan too."
"Look at that one, it has a horn! It could probably do magic!"
"The clothes they are wearing are absolutely dreadful though.."
*GASP*
"ANEWCREATUREWECOULDBEFRIENDANDTHROWAPARTYFORYAY!"
"I had nothing to do, and not everyday you get to see this happen in Canterlot, I too have never seen a creature like this one. Even in my current stay in Ponyville."
"I cant wait to study them, I searched the whole library and found no books about these kind of creatures"
"Yer thinkin' about studying them fellas when they're sleeping? Come on now Twilight.
They all heard a groan come from beside Steven, and all went silent. "Damn bloody fucking shit. My head hurts like it was crushed and put back together." Jocelyn said under her breath.
Jocelyn sat and turned to me without noticing the ponies behind her. "Hey, Steven. Wake up, Come on..Wake up asshat." She whispered. "I am already up. and you might want to look behind you." He whispered. She looked behind just to see six pastel colored ponies.
She slowly turned back to me "What are they doing here!?" she whispered. He shrugged. She had a look of fear, then an emotionless mask. "Lets ask them if they know where our city sta-" She got cut off as the door opened.
"Oh! Im glad to see your awake." A familiar voice reached them. They both turned and saw the white pony from before. "Uh..hi?" Steven and Jocelyn said at the same time, which shocked the six ponies on the cushions.
"Whats the time? And may I know your name?" Steven asked. "My name would be Celestia, the time is 7:34pm. And the seven ponies here are Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spitfire, Pinkie Pie and Rarity." The seven ponies greeted us and smiled which we returned.
"Whats your name?" Celestia asked. Steven and Jocelyn looked at each other.
"Should we fabricate names?" Jocelyn mouthed silently to her older brother. Steven stood still contemplating the question and nodded not long after.
"My name is Stelle." Jocelyn said.
"And my name is Vernon." Steven said.
Celestia smiled. "Would you like to join us for dinner?"
"Yes please." Vernon and Stelle said simultaneously.
They sat at a long table occupied by Celestia and a pony who had dark blue for its coat, cyan eyes, and flowing hair, similar to Celestia. Which they know now as Luna. Opposite were the six ponies from before and the one known as Spitfire is sitting next to Stelle.
As the dinner was served all they got were greens, they both frowned. "They probably dont have meat here. Well fuck it they gave us food so I will eat them anyway." He whispered to his sister. She nodded and ate.
"I will be back in a minute." With that Celestia trotted off. 'Wonder where she is going.' Vernon thought to himself.
Rainbow Dash spoke up. "Hey Vernon?" Vernon looked up from his food. "Yeah?"
"How did you get your wingspan that large?" He sighed. "When I woke up, it was there. And I tried flexing them, nothing seems to be happening. And so is Stelle's horn here." He pointed at the horn mentioned.
Now Twilight spoke. "Hey Stelle, do you know how to use magic?" Stelle looked at Twilight. "Magic?" She said confused. Twilight facehoofed. "Nevermind, I might have to teach you sometime, that horn is a conduit that focuses the magic inside you." Stelle went wide-eyed. "Will you really teach me?" she said. Twilight nodded. Vernon could hear her sister screaming joy inside her head.
As they finished their meals Celestia returned with two golden tickets...floating? 'What the fuck is that? Is she using levitation? This place is getting weirder by the second!' I screamed inside my head.
"Here are your tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala." Celestia then gave them the tickets which they took. And the six ponies on the other side are giggling for reasons they dont know. 'Must have been the face I made when I stared at the floating tickets.' Vernon thought to himself.
"What is the Grand Galloping Gala?" Stelle asked. The seven ponies sat there and looked at them like they were the stupidest people on the planet. The pony known as Rarity said "The Gala is a royal ball held to celebrate the founding of Equestria and the completion of Canterlot. The high-class ponies usually get invited every year." Spitfire butted in "And we do airshows at that ball sometimes."
"Whats Equestria and Canterlot?" Vernon asked. Twilight answered. "Equestria is founded when the three pony tribes made peace and thus the construction of Canterlot, which is this city, started."
Stelle yawned. "Could we sleep anywhere?" she asked. "You could stay on the guest suites for the night. You can move in with anyone of the any of the us which you've met tommorow morning." Spitfire said.
"Alright, where is the guest suites?" Vernon asked. "Follow me" Celestia said.
"Finally, a fucking big ass comfy bed to sleep in.." Stelle mumbled. "Make some room for me too sis." Vernon said. She grunted in response. As he finished removing his jacket and undershirt he moved to lay in the bed. And soon after fell asleep.
"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!"
