Friendship is NOT magic

Dear Twilight

Please can you return to Canterlot as soon as possible, I apologise for asking you to return so soon, but I am in need of your assistance. It is imperative that you do not tell anypony, not even the Elements of Harmony. This is between you and Spike only, my Sister has found a “Distinctive” Unicorn, to put it lightly. He will be staying with us for a while and during his stay he wishes to learn magic, unfortunately, I am unable to teach him like I used to teach you due to my Royal Duties, so I am leaving him in your care. I apologize if you don’t want to do this but I could do with a few extras hooves when it comes to assisting him, as you will hopefully find out.

Yours ever faithfully
Princess Celestia

Twilight POV

So… I’m on the train to Canterlot... my estimated time of arrival is in approximately 40 seconds from now… it’s rather peculiar that the Princess Celestia needs my help in Canterlot, especially due to the fact that it hasn’t even been a day since the Gala ended… but… I’m actually happy that she needs me again, it’s so exciting, to think she needs me, her number one student to teach a fellow unicorn about magic.

The train finally stopped at platform 2 of the Canterlot Mane Line Train Station, so me and Spike departed the train, making sure to “mind the gap between the train and the platform” just as the dreary monotone conductor had instructed. Spike had only just made the gap due to his small stature and also the fact that he was carrying all of our luggage, aside from the small amount in my saddlebags.

“Twilight… Do we really need all this stuff?” Spike muttered with a sullen expression.

I smiled back at him “Yes we do, all of this are absolutely necessary, it’s a good thing I only packed the essentials.” I stopped smiling when I noticed he was struggling with three or four rather large boxes.

“Note to self:Maybe carry more equipment next time”

We were greeted by the Royal Guards as per usual and also (surprisingly) Celestia was waiting slightly further back from the guards. She must’ve been expecting us.

“Princess!!” I beamed at her and tossed Spike my saddlebag as I galloped to her, my saddlebag had caused my back to slightly ache from walking. As galloped, I think I may have heard a dull thud coming from behind me but I Ignored it, whatever it was, I’m sure Spike could handle it.

“Hello Twilight. “ She said with a smile.” I trust your trip here wasn’t too bad?”

“Oh no Princess, not at all, it was a smooth ride here.”

We started walking through the marble arch at the entrance, I glanced back to see if Spike was keeping up, only to receive what could only be described as a deadpan expression from him, I quickly turned my head to speak to Celestia.

“Sooooooo… about this ‘Distinctive’ Unicorn you wanted me personally teach?”

The Princess remained silent for another minute or so until she reached a door for one of the many rooms within the castle “Princess… is there something I should know?”

Celestia promptly swung open the door and out shot a unicorn “is this who I’m going to be teaching? I tried to ask myself, I say ‘tried’ because before I could think it all or even react, the unicorn crashed into me, normally this would have been an embarrassing scenario, what made it worse was how he had landed on me. He landed on top of me and booped noses. Of Course I was embarrassed a little .

I swiftly lifted the unicorn off before Spike’s innocence could be destroyed, but as I lifted him off of me, I noticed that he covered in bruises and cuts.

“Sweet Celestia, What happened to you?”

The brown pony just wiped his head and chuckled “Well… let's say my magic is Crazy.”

“Literally” Celestia added. “Twilight, this is Leady Star. The Unicorn you will be teaching Leady, this is my protégé, Twilight Sparkle, one of the most gifted ponies I’ve ever known” I blushed at the Princesses compliment.

“It’ll be a pleasure to be taught by one Tia’s Star pupil.” Leady Said with a Smile on his face.

Tia? Since when do people call the Princess Tia… unless...nope there’s no way it could be true. Suddenly Leady was staring at me hard.

“U-um is something the matter? Your pupils are so small they’re practically impossible to see”

“Twilight?” Spike asked, genuinely concerned for her.

Leady then Screamed in pain as he clenched his head. He looked to be in serious pain.

This snapped me out of her daze and she quickly cupped her hooves around Spike’s head to shield him from Leady’s suffering.

Princess Celestia aided him bed and spoke reassuringly with him.

“Leady, are you perhaps remembering something?” She queried.

Leady then slowly removed his hoofs away from his head. “Twi-light….Gw-Gwen?”

“Gwen? Who’s Gwen?” Twilight asked in a confused manner

Leady put his hoof back on his head “I-I don’t know. When I saw you and heard your voice, an image came in my mind, it looked like a person, but… it's still blurry.”

Celestia placed her hoof to her mouth and she seemed to be thinking rather hard about something, then after half a minute of long hard thinking, she glanced at me “Twilight, Can you come outside? I wish to talk to you about something and as for you Leady, it is imperative that you rest.”

Leady looked somewhat disappointed, seeing as he really wanted to do his lessons now, but he knew he was in a bad state.

“Fine. I am feeling a little tired anyway.” He begrudgingly agreed as he placed his head on the pillow.

Celestia then closed the door and sighed a bit “Twilight… Leady is a little more complicated than you think… but I can’t tell you, not here, let's head to my room.”

This really sounds serious. No matter the Task I’ll do it no matter what the story. Twilight thought as she, Spike and Celestia navigated the hallways of the Royal Palace.

Leady POV

That face… that face… Why does her face keep appearing? It's so fuzzy, almost like visual snow… I just can’t see… her?

I keep getting headaches because of her, is she REALLY that important? UGH why does this hurt so much?

[Leo…]

Wait that name...Leo. It sounds familiar.

[Leo, Hey Leo.]

I think I am remembering something.

*Flashback* (Leady is only remembering voices)

[Yo Brotaku Leo.]

{Gwen}

[Hey Leo. I’m gonna head on over to Mari’s house you want to come?]

{Oh no i'm okay}

[Seriously? This is the 3rd time you are declining. Your parents would’ve want you to do this. Hell they are coming to visit in a week. Look I know you have trust issues due to a lot of...incidents, but these are my friends. They’re nice and I think...one of them has a crush on you. You know that one girl that came to my party last time?]

{Gwen, just leave me alone. Please I don’t want your so called friends}

[...Okay. I’ll see you later]

{*Sigh*....I don’t want friends… Friends, Will always betray you.}

I just remembered something painful, that I hate friends, Friends bully you, trick you, and no matter how hard you try to get them to like you, they don’t even care. They even put the blame on me when I didn’t even do anything and that’s when one of them said to me…

“You're our friend right? Take the blame for us.”

That was the last time I stopped doing things for them and that’s when I started to get beaten up a lot. It was painful...very painful. I started to cry again when something came to mind.

What do those unicorns want with me? They say my magic is unstable but maybe they’re planning to use me, Oh god that must be it, maybe Luna even brought me here just so she can steal my magic, but one thing is for certain.

I have to get the hell outta here.
