Nova Burst's Rise To Pyromancy

Oh Celestia save me.I think to myself. This filly just doesn't know when to shut her yap. I've sat here for all of five minutes and honestly, I don't think she's breathing. Where is Applejack anyway? Crosses through my mind. All I can do, for once in my life, is not get a word in. Well, not being capable is more like it. I know I'm a quiet colt.

"Aha!" I burst out in excitement.

"What?" Applebloom looks up at me, puzzled gaze on her face.

"I just figured out a way i can pass time with Twilight tomorrow night. I can see if she learned Haycartes reading method already!" I say excitedly. "I'm glad I learned it. When I was younger, just before I got my cutiemark, actually." I smile remembering how I freaked out from that rainbow stride across that blue sky. Actually, now that I think of it... Wasn't that the same day that she got her cutiemark?

"Wait, the rainbow stride? You can't mean you saw Rainbow Dashes sonic rainboom too do ya?" She asks.

"Say what now?" Applejack says as she comes around the corner with cider in her hooves. Walking up to me, handing me one.

"Thanks." I say. "and what I was saying earlier is i think myself and twilight got our cutiemark on the same day." I added.

"Doesn't that mean you and Pinkie, Rainbow, Fluttershy and Rarity got your cutiemarks on the same day?" Applebloom says looking up to her big sister.

"I can't believe it, but it seems so." I say.

"Well hold onto your apples there a second." Applejack says to me. "We all got tied together by a rainboom, and i heard ya talkin' 'bout that too." She adds.

"Why is that important?" Rolls out from my mouth.

"Well, we all saw that rainboom and we represent the elements of harmony. The elements came from the tree of harmony. We all got our cutiemarks at the same time. We all figured out our destinies based on that single event an' now you get here. you have a same thing in common as us, so what's that mean?" She starts thinking deeply. I can tell just by the look on her face. she is really, really thinking on this.

"I'd say there may be yet another connection due to the occurrence seeing as you all have experienced it." I drop my luggage not realizing I had run the spell so long, yawning now. I chuckle and rub the back of my neck.

"Well, I guess so. Twilight would know best." She nods as she says it. "Oh, Let me and big mac take care of yer luggage and bring it to the barn fer ya." She offers.

"Nah, I can take care of it thanks. Just gonna give my horn a break." I rub it gently as I know it's done its hard work for a bit.

"Well, if you say so." Applejack says with doubt in her voice.

"I'll be fine really." I say.

"At least let big mac carry some for ya when he shows ya a good spot to rest up in there." She persists.

"Alright." I give in. She is about as stubborn as a mule.

"So I'll show ya the guest room." Big Mac says. he picks up half of my luggage without a sweat. I really hope he doesn't kill me if I offend him. I think to myself. I use my horn once more. I feel the magic working and I carry my half of the luggage.

Big Mac leads me out to the barn, taking me up a set of stairs. I can't believe my eyes, but it actually is a full fledged bedroom. "I used to sleep out here when i wanted away from AJ and Granny. Hope you find it comfortable." He says.

"Well, Thanks man." I say back. " Rainbow dash seems a little extreme from what i saw." i add.

"Eyup." He nods.

"You seen it too?" I say.

"Eyup."

"You don't talk much do you?"

"Ehhnope."

"Alright." I place my luggage on the barn floor. I see Big Mac setting the rest beside it.

"Look, Nova." He says.

"Yeah Big Mac?"

"I know how it feels to be shy, so, I guess what I'm saying is if ya feel alone, come see me, I'll be happy to hang out sometime."

"Thanks Big Mac. I'll be sure to come by, but for now, I think it's time i hit the hay." I look out the window into the lowering sun and raising of the moon. Twilight, the time of which the sun and moon are both in the sky. Not to mention my favorite time of day.

"Okay, Bye." He says quietly and i watch him walk into the farmhouse.

"Night." I say.

I look throughout the room. A bed with a red and green quilt on it lays in the corner. This just look uncomfortable and yet, welcoming. I cant help but rest in the hay bales for a bit. The smell in the air is southern, the warm grass. The apples rolling into my nostrils by scent. The air is crisp and dry. It is going to be nice when I have my own place again.

I still can't believe tomorrow I spend the night with Twilight. I don't know what to expect from it. Are we going to end up studying like she used to do beforehand? Is she even the same filly I knew?
