Nova Burst's Rise To Pyromancy
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI adjust my shades. I can't help but feel nervous. The bags I packed, only half made it with me this time. I see the pink mare walking happily with the blue pegasus, they approach my direction and I get weak inside. I quickly start trotting in the same direction. I want AWAY from ponies. Especially ones I never talked to. This feeling is a regular thing for me. Anxiety kicks my flank. it kind of pushes me away until i trip over a rock and glance up. the whole feeling has birds flying around my head.
"Hey, you alright there?" I head a raspy voice chat to me. right after i look and see the Blue one looking at me. she has a rainbow mane, i never even met her before. though i admit, she does have a certain charisma about her.
"Y-yeah, thanks for asking." Fumbles out of my mouth.
Suddenly the pink pony dashes right at me and I duck. the pink streak leaves rather impossibly fast. "So yeah, new to ponyville there Poindexter?" The rainbow maned mare says with a nervous smile.
"Y-yeah, I-I'm Nova. Nova Burst." I say pulling my red shades from my face. My emerald toned eyes reveal themselves.
"Well, Nova, I'm Rainbow Dash." She says confidently flying with a hoof in her own chest.
"I know who you are, Rainbow Dash." I say, opening one of my bags and showing her the newspaper about her race against the Orange mare, Applejack.
"So, I take it your a fan?" She says looking like she was relieved.
"Nope. Not a fan. i just like to see what makes everypony enjoy certain aspects of life." I ring out cheerily. i can feel my reserve go away. she already has pryed my anxiety away. Not many ponies have ever done that. Not even my own mother.
"Oh, Okay, so, anything I can help ya out with?" Rainbow says to me. i glance behind me with all of my floating luggage and I haven't broken a sweat yet. "Uhhh, Have a place to crash?" She asks.
"Actually no," It hits me. i was supposed to look for a place to stay before getting here. "I got caught up in the moving process."
"Well come with me, I think I know just the mare, she would have the space." She says.
"A-alright," Rolls out of my once more fumbling mouth, meeting all of these ponies already has my anxiety through the roof. "But if she cant take me, thats fine i can figure out something." I say walking as I follow the blue mare, my neck getting rubbed by my hoof.
"Okay Nova, I'm gonna just be a sec." She says as she flies into the castle made from crystals. I feel the realization hit me like a ton of bricks.
"This, is Princess Twilight's home...." I start shaking in my spot while I wait for Rainbow Dash.
It feels like it's been hours, so i put my bags down, starting to clap my hoof into the ground, almost like a miserable attempt to dig. I wait. It feels even longer.
Wait Nova, Twilight lives here, just wait like Rainbow Dash told you to. It'll all turn out. Oh dear, but what if i can't talk. What will happen if i just be myself. I must admit, I always have been a goofy awkward mess. Stop.
I take a deep breath and close my eyes. i find myself casting a silence bubble, but I fail. I don't have the book on me. "If only i had a copy of-" and suddenly i hear someone call out the rest of my sentence.
"Magic for beginners? Am I right, It certainly was helpful." i hear that nasal voice ring through to me. i shake as i turn around, a big smile on my face.
"Twilight!" I burst into a rocket of accelerated energy. Then I stop mid-air, nervously chuckling. "Long time no see. Hah, Hah." the laugh becoming a nervous reflex.
"I'm Sorry?" The words roll from her tongue and it just kills me on the inside. She doesn't remember me.
"Nevermind." Falls out from my mouth. Literally, falls. I can hear the weight in the word.
"Anyhoof. My Brother and his wife are coming in from the Crystal Empire, so I cannot host you tonight." She says. I still smile.
"That's fine, Princess." I bow and the sweat rolls down. I should have bowed earlier on.
"Please, It's Twilight." Boom! the butterflies zip right through me once more, like an ignited fire just bursting with lively flames.
"I-I'm Nova, Nova Burst." I shakily say as I put my hoof up to shake hers.
"Well now that you two are introduced, can we go see if A.J. has a place for him to crash?" Rainbow interrupts.
"If theres anypony i know, It would be A.J." Twilight says.
"Then to Sweet Apple Acres!" Rainbow says excitedly.
"T-thanks Fillies." I say.
"No sweat."
"Well that's perhaps from your point of view, Rainbow." Twilight says.
They briefly argue about who is seeing things right. I quietly endure, picking up my luggages with my levitation spell. sighing. i hear them argue for about five minutes. Now I know I'm just a new colt in town but, i can't hold my muzzle any longer.
"Shut up!" Roars out from my lips as i cast a firework from my horn between them both. It explodes infront of them into a burning rainbow toned stream.
"HEY!" Rainbow screams out.
"What was that for?!" Twilight shouts at me.
"You guys are arguing. I heard enough of that before from my mother!" I huff.
"Wait... your mother.. She wasn't of the Royal Guard was she?"
"Yeah, Twilight, She was." I reply.
"Wait, so that makes you, the famous fireworks maker." she exclaims.
"Yeah, I guess that is me. i am Nova Burst, Pyrotechnics specialist." It rolls right out from my mouth.
"You helped out with the wedding of Cadence and Shining Armour." She adds.
"Yea."
"Wait, so the fireworks after my rainboom was made by you?" Rainbow adds herself in.
"Yeah, that was me." i say.
"Well Nova, Tomorrow night i will have my home free again, if you want, you can stay with myself and spike." she says.
"That'd be an honor, Twilight. Though, I am still surprised you don't remember me from magic kindergarden." I add.
"Huh?" Rainbow is flying and confused. "You two were in the same class?"
"Yeah," I start. " Was some of the most fun filled days of my life."
"Really?" Twilight replied." Worst days for me."
"The only reason they picked on you twilight, was because thats what kids do. just as they did with me." I push her lower hind leg with my forehoof smiling.
"I guess so." She replies.
"Here we are, Sweet apple Acres." Rainbow bursts out.
Author's Note
Well, this part, i found was inspired by the fan fiction, Vinyl and Octavia: University Days. this chapter has beeen produced with all of my goofy lovey dovey stuff in my being. so i have to get the urge to write out of my system until the excitement goes away! This Chapter, Our Colt, Nova Burst, is on the adventure to finding a place to stay. He forgot to find out where he could crash in town.
((There is a reference to one of my favourite songs in here. catch it and let me know, because i want to see if anypony noticed it. As i am alll Dash, Twili and lets not forget my favourite musical mare, Vinyl Scratch))
