"Hello, My name is Pure."
Chapter 3: Aftermath, Love?!?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPure scrolled throught he lattest newspaper. His eyes caught onto some news that was not what he expected.
"Peace! Changelings reformed? Queen Chrysalis has finally been thrown of her throne and a a new leader takes place to lead the recently reformed Changelings to a new world where ponies and Changelings can live in peace. The world is overjoyed with the recent event. We thank the ones that made this all possible: Trixie, a performer that travelled through whole Equestria; Discord, former Lord of Chaos and Starlight Glimmer, reformed vilian and student of Princess Twilight Sparkle."
He went the whole article over and over, unable to grasp what happened. He knew that Twilight haden't shown up to keep on helping with his house, but that she was replaced with a changeling?! He was overjoyed when he read that all ponies that were replaced survived, including Twilight.
As soon as he was finished reading he heard a noise coming from outside. Looking out his window showed that a royal chariot was landing in the townsquare. He jumped from his chair and ran down the stairs, almost tripping on the way down. He came out his door and practically galloped to the townsquare.
He just arrived when the chariot left. On the square were Twilight and her friends, along with Starlight Glimmer, the pony mentioned in the newspaper. Ponies started to appear from the various streets, some cheering and others calling out for the group.
"Twilight?" Pure called out from the crowd that had started to form around the group, trying to pull the Alicorn's attention.
"Pure?" Twilight said after hearing her name and the familiar voice. she tried her best to find the unicorn calling, but couldn't see past the crowd around her and her friends.
Pure tried to push ponies to the side, trying to get to Twilight, who also was calling out. He asked for ponies to step aside, but it was like he was invisable. His patience gone and anger growing, he did something that baffled everyone.
He used a levitation spell to get every pony in his way aside, meaning that he lifted the whole crowd up!
"Out of the way, please!" He said, walking past the floating ponies, who were looking down at him with big eyes.
"Pure? How..." Twilight began, trying to understand what happened.
"Excuse me." Pure said when he finally reached the group. He turned around and gently, trying not to harm anypony, put the crowd back down on their spot before he faced Twilight, who was still baffled with what just happened.
"When you have to try and live in a city filled with hundred of ponies, you learn a trick or two on how to get somewhere." Pure explained, trying not to sound crazy.
"So, you learned how to use a levitation spell to lift a whole CROWD of ponies up? Just from living in Canterlot?" Twilight asked, a serious expression on her face.
"Yes. I lived in the worst part of Canterlot, where things can get pretty hectic. I had to live without the help of many friends or adults around me, so Magic became my last resource of survival. I practiced years to master spells like levitation or teleportation." Pure finished before looking at Twilight with examining eye. She was missing her saddlebags.
"I don't want to disturb your little get-together, but ponies are looking at you two with strange eyes. Mayby you should continue in the castle?" Starlight said with calm voice, pointing at the ponies around them. The duo blushed and agreed to go to the castle first before continuing with their conversation. The crowd of ponies around them was send away, some moaning of disappointment.
"You have this often?" Pure asked as he looked at the crowd leaving.
"Sometimes." Twilight said bluntly, her gaze fixated on the castle before them.
"So..." Starlight said quietly , trying to break the ice, as the group was seated in one of the many rooms of the Castle of Friendship.
"I found your letter." Twilight said finally, levitating a letter from her saddlebags, whom she took from her room before following the rest to one of the many rooms in the castle. The letter was shaped like a heart and colored pink. A small blush formed on Twilight's cheeks. Pure doing the exact same.
"I, eh... Worked on it for more then an hour, ya know." Pure said, not knowing anything else to say.
"I see... So, love, he?" Twilight said, also not knowing much to say.
"It's just..."
"I know that..."
The 2 stopped as they noticed that they started talking into each other. The group around them tried to focus on something else, a few not seated but instead talking with one another somewhere else in the room. They knew that the 2 ponies needed a moment for themselfs.
"I always knew you from the time during Lunchbreak-" Pure finally began after a silent agreement with Twilight."-and I always saw you as a normal friend like anypony else I knew, but you have changed and I have changed and... Well, I found that we could get along a bit better. I have had my moments that I couldn't keep my mind of you, and I was always worried when you didn't attend lunchbreak.... I guess I always had a bit more of a liking to you then I dare to give in." Pure said, his eyes going back to Twilight's and something else in the room, the blush on his face only growing.
"I sometimes hated it when I didn't see you-" Twilight started to explain herself too. "-and you always helped me, even if it was to just to help me think about eating! That moment you hurt your hoof, I thought about finding a spell to help. I started caring more about leaving for lunchbreak just to see you. I almost started hating my lessons before lunchbreak! I felt guilty when I was somewhere else and, to be honest, I never forget about you." Twilight said, her blush even bigger then Pure's. The 2 leaned in closer, just to be in a bit more privacy.
"When I heard about you being ponynapped and all, I was very worried! When I saw the chariot land, I immediatly thought about you!" Pure continued, leaning in to be face to face with Twilight.
"My heart skipped a beat when I saw you at the station! I was surprised to see you again, but also overjoyed to see an old friend! When I had to go for that letter of Spike, I was SO sorry to leave you, because we only saw each other so short." Twilight went on too, leaning in closer aswell.
The 2 were nose to nose, their eyes locked into one another. The group around tried to look away, some guessing what would happen next.
And it did. Twilight and Pure stopped talking and instead leaned closer and closer, untill their lips toughed in the most passioned kiss you could imagine! They went on for minutes, the passion and love radiating of from the couple. When they finished, they looked at each other with more care and love then normal and they stood up, walking out the room, leaning against one another. Twilight had one of her wings drapped over Pure as their horns touched, a few magic sparkles leaving from their horns. The door closed behind them and the room was left silent.
Starlight was the first to speak up.
"I guess then that it's going to be alright with those 2?" She said, a hoof scraping the floor.
"I think they're going to better then ok." Rarity said, a warm smile on her face.
"How will Spike react?" Fluttershy said, a bit of worry on her face.
The group thought about that and left, now having a mission of their own: Explain the situation to Spike.
Spike was peacefully walking down one of the many paths in Ponyville, humming a little song Twilight always sang to him when he was younger. His peace was short-lived though when a group of ponies arrived around him.
"Hey girls, everything alright after everything that happened?" Spike asked, aware how he felt himself when he was ponynapped. Or was it dragon-napped in his case?
"We're alright, but it's Twilight were we wanted to talk about with you." Rarity said as she came forwards. Spike recognized the expression on her face. She had something important to say.
"What's wrong?! Isn't she taking it so good? Did something happen to her?" Spike said, his breath increasing as various scenario's started unfolding in his mind.
"No Spike! She's better then alright! She and Pure had a little conversation in the castle and..." Rarity said, trying to comfort the little dragon.
"And?" Spike asked, his nerves getting the better of him.
"And we think that they're gonna be just more then friends!" Pinkie said enthousiastically, jumping up and down of exitement. "She finally found the right stallion! Oooh!!"
"Pinkie! You're hurting my eardrums!" Rarity said as the party-pony started raising her voice.
"Wait?! Are you saying that Twilight and Pure are... a thing?" Spike said, interuppting the soon-to-be argument between the fashionista and the party-pony as things started popping in and out of his mind.
"Yes, that's really it." Rainbow said, even she unable to sound a bit softer.
Spike practically fainted on the spot, Rarity having to catch him with her magic.
"Is this the same when I faint?" Rarity asked, receiving a few nods from her friends. A few drops of sweat started to form as she tried to lift the uncounscious dragon up. "He's heavier then he looks."
"Hey! That's a lot of muscle, alright?" Spike suddenly said as he jumped up, causing some of his friends to shreek back.
"Mayby it's a good thing if we go and check on the 2 of them. Last time we saw them they left upstairs, to Twilight's room, I think." Starlight said as she thought about the duo.
The group stopped when something passed their minds. They looked at each other with shared looks of worry and a bit of embarrassment.
"They WHAT?!" Spike shouted before he started running to the castle. The group started running to, shouting various things at Spike to stop him.
"Spike! Don't over-react! God knows what you'll bump into!" Rarity shouted at the little dragon. She shrugged as her mind played the event before her. We have to stop him to avoid something like that! She thought to herself as she chased down the purple dragon.
Pure walked out the doors of a room. The doors were smaller then all the other doors, a purple six-armed star on the handle's to indicate who lived inside. He quietly closed the door behind him, trying not to wake the sleeping mare inside.
He walked through the dim-light hallways, the nightsky visable through the various window's at the sides. He went down various stairs untill he reached a tall pair of doors.
He slowly opened the doors and entered a massive room with a big crystal table and 7 thrones around, a small one next to a throne bearing Twilight's cutiemark.
This must be the cutiemap Twilight told me about Pure thought to himself as he walked closer. He felt the magic radiating from the map, and not so quickly afterwards something in his mind confirmed his suspicion: The map was connected with time.
If I can get a piece of this map, I will finally have everything I need for the spell! Pure thought before leaving the room. All I have to do is get the right tools and wait for the perfect moment. They can't notice a piece missing, or they'll have my head!
He quietly closed the door behind him before he headed outside, straight to his house, where a warm bed was waiting for him.
Author's Note
So, people able to guess what happened? I sure did! That's an image I'll NEVER forget!!
Anyways, got this chapter finished quickly after the other one, most of it already set in my mind. You knew that Pure his horn is a bit bigger? I had to change that a bit so they could touch horns, as Twilight's horn is a bit bigger now she's an Alicorn, right?
It does explain his extraordinary strenght on magical level, no?
