The magical flu

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was midday in Canterlot. Arctic, Iron, Anthony and Aria were now standing in front of Twilight's house.

"Ugh! Why did you bring me along? You could easly bring Adagio or Sonata with you." Aria complained.

"Aria, you have the best singing voice to make people fall asleep. Sonata, can't come. She's working at Taco Belll and I don't want Adagio around 'cause she will start flirting again with Arctic again." Iron snickerd at his last sentence.

"Shut up Lucifer!" Arctic snapped at Iron. "I don't like this any more than Aria!" As he grabs Iron by his shirt. Earning a smirk from Aria. "I shouldn't be here at all!"

"C'mon ice cube. It's the perfect way to spend the weekend with your girlfriend." Said Iron.

"Spending the weekend with your girlfriend who's sick by an onknown illness?" Arctic didn't get Iron's message. "How is that perfect?" He released Iron.

"Wake up Captain Frost! You easily recognize every illness compared to the most of us. Imaginge what Twilight would do when she realizes that you're the doctor who cured her." Anthony was once again having dirty thoughts.

"I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that." Said Arctic. The four were silent.

"So... How did this happening again?" Asked Anthony. This earned a groan from Aria and a facepalm from Arctic.

"You're even worse than Sonata!"

"Didn't you remember, Anthony?" Arctic deadpannend.


Flashback

It was a hot day in the city of Canterlot. Everyone was busy walking around the city with their talking, shopping, relaxing... except for Arctic Ice, who was roaming around the city. Suddenly, A huge blanket of snow fell down on the city.

"What the heck?" Arctic said as he looked at his surroundings. The whole city was covered in snow. People were milling around in the snow, confused and alarmed. Then, as Arctic observed, the snow began to melt, disappearing as fast as it came. Within moments, Canterlot was once again snow-free, if not a little soggy. Then, Arctic's phone rang. He pullled it out of his pocket and opened it.

"Hello?" Said Arctic.

"Did you see that blanket of snow?" Asked Iron.

"Yeah, it melted just a few moments ago."

"Mallory knows where it came from. He needs you to come with us."

"Where?"

"To Twilight's house."

Flashback ends


"Aah, yes. I remember now." Said Anthony.

"ACHOO!"

The whole house turned into a familiar oak tree with windows and even a balcony on it. Its leaves suddenly turn pink. Anthony stared at the tree for a few seconds, unable to look away from the optical overload. Arctic saw this and hit the back of Anthony's head, snapping him out of the self-induced hypnosis.

"Huh, that oak tree looks familair." Arctic thought

"Thanks for that." Anthony said as the leaves fell to the ground and was replaced by new ones. Arctic walked up to the small door and knocked. There was the sound of footsteps and the door opened to revealed Velvet.

"Oh hello, Arctic. What brings you by?" She asked.

"Is Twilight here?" Arctic asked.

"Yes. But, she has the flu." She said when she took notice of Aria, Anthony and Iron. "Oh, who are they?"

"Hello, madam." Said Iron. "My name is Iron Argenteos and this is my fraternal twin, Anthony. We're also classmates of Twilight." He lied at the end.

Aria rubs her thumb over her other fingers with an unimpressed look. "I'm Aria, friend of Arctic."

"Oh, I see. Well, come in." She said. "I'm very sorry about the mess."

"It's alright, Mrs. Sparkle." said Arctic as he saw some squirrels ran passed him.

"Please, Arctic. Call me 'Velvet'. Mrs. Sparkle makes me feel old." She joked.

"Yeah, she is kinda old." Anthonymutters. Iron heard him and smacked him on the back of his head.

"It's just so weird. Last night, she was completely fine, and this morning, she caught the flu and to make it worse, this all happens." Velvet said, pointing to all the chaos in the room.

"Can we see Twilight, Velvet?" Asked Iron.

"Oh, sure. Her room is the first door on the left you'll see at the top of the stairs." Velvet pointed out to them.

"Thank you … Velvet" Arctic said as the four of them started their way towards the stairs. Arctic suddenly stopped and pointed to Anthony.

"You stay here."

"What? Why?" Anthony asked.

"I know what makes you tick, Anthony. Don't expect me to find several of her underwear in your pocket once we leave the house."

Anthony suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Arctic. I'll make sure he won't take any." Said Velvet as she gripped Anthony's shoulder tighter, causing it to crunch.

"Ok..." Anthony timidly said as Aria, Iron and Arctic went upstairs. While heading upstairs Arctic could hear Aria snickering.

When they opened the door, they see Twilight lying on her bed, wrapped thickly with blankets. She was sniffing and shivering, with a damp towel on her head.

"A-Arctic? What are you doing here?" She asked, sniffing.

"Isn't it obvious?" Winking at Twilight. "Iron remind us what are we doing here again?"

"We're here to cure you." Iron said.

"Cure me? But it's just a simple flu. It'll just pass after a few days." She then suddenly sneezed and Iron suddenly flinched. Arctic looked at Iron with a raised eyebrow. Aria chuckeld at Iron's reaction.

"What just happened?" Asked Arctic.

"It's just a dud..." Muttered Iron. "This isn't just any normal Flu, Twilight. What we have here is a special case only available for magic users."

"Wait, magic users? But, I don't use magic and I certainly don't have any magic inside me." Said Twilight.

"Unfortunately you do and that's the reason why you have it. You don't use magic, causing it to build up in your body until it can't hold any more, thus your body releases it in large burst, usually with a sneeze."

"Achoo!" Sneezed Twilight. Iron flinches and looked around. Everything looked exactly the same.

"Maybe it was fake?" Asked Twilight.

"Nope. There was definitely a release of magic." Arctic said as he looked out the window. "Canterlot looks the same as well. I wonder what happened."

"Put me down will yea?!" Said a voice from above. Arctic, Iron and Twilight looked up to see Aria standing upside-down on the ceiling, looking very annoyed.

"Aria?" Twilight said. "What're you doing up there?"

"You tell me! Your illness did this." Aria crossed her armes not liking hanging upside down on a ceiling.

"Achoo!" Twilight sneezed again and Aria fell on the floor with a loud CRASH! "-ow." She stood back up dusting herself off.

"Can we get this over with? Aria was starting to get pissed. "I don't want a round 2 to the ceiling!"

"So, what is the problem with me?" Twilight asked.

"Like I said you have the Magic Build-Up Syndrome." Arctic explains to her.

"You just made it up, didn't you?" Twilight laughed at this.

"I'm afraid not." Iron decided to continue. "The three of us have experienced this too. The last one who had it was Arctic. So we know what have to do to make you feel better."

"Yeah, but each person has different forms of that sickness." Anthony told her as he pulled his head in the room. "For example, mine-" Anthony was cut off by Velvet.

"No one wants to know what happens the last time you had that you dog." Arctic said. Velvet took Anthony with her downstairs.

"Oh, come on. What the worst thing that could happen?" Asked Twilight.

"Anthony got a lifetime supply of p***." Iron said giving Twilight a look that expressed 'obviously' as he closed the door.

Iron cracked his fingers. " Let's get started! Aria, you're up." Aria rolled her eyes, took a deep breath and started to sing. Her amulet started to glow bright red and green smoke came out of it, engulfing Twilight.

"Wait!" Twilight exclaimed. "Won't I fell under her … her... " Her eyes felt so heavy. She couldn't keep them open. Her head fell on her pillow, sleeping.

Aria crossed her arms with statisfying smile on her face.

"Excellent work Aria, as always." Arctic patted her on the shoulder. "You can go now if you want. Iron an I will take it over from here. "Nah, I'll stay here. I have nothing better to do."

"Okay then" Iron then turned to Arctic. "Did you brought Mallory's magic book?"

Arctic took the black book out of his bag. Iron took the book and opend it up at chapter: +[)àé%*£

"Let us begin!"

Iron starts with the song of the ritual while Arctic walked over to Twilight who was still asleep. Arctic placed one hand on Twilight's forehead and his other hand on her heart, close to her breast.

"Anthony would go nuts for this."

Arctic took a deep breath and his eyes started to glow white. He released his magic through his hands in Twilight's body through her heart and her head. His magical energy is looking for her magic inside her.

Soon Arctic his body was developed in a light blue aura while Twilight's body was also developed in an aura but her color was lavender.

"Found it!"

A bright light engulfed the entire room.


The next morning, Twilight, who was feeling a lot better now left out a soft jawn. She strecthed her arms and got out of bed. Then she sees three people lying in her room asleep. One was her boyfriend, the other one was Iron a friend of Arctic and the third one was a girl called Aria. She starts to remember about what happend yesterday.

She went to her boyfriend and softly shaking him awake at his shoulder.

"Arctic, Arctic wake up Sweetie."

Arctic mumbled something. " Go away Starlight ... talk about magic later..."

"Who's Starlight?" Twilight thought.

"Hmm maybe this will wake you up." Twilight grinned.

She lowers herself to Arctic's face and pressed her lips against Arctic's.

His eyes immediately shot open!
