My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: The New Member
Episode 13: New Friends and Jealousy
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt's been a week since Jewel became a Major. She's been training her animal powers in the dojo, now she can transform half-way into the animals on her crown. Now she was walking in New Ponyville.
Everybody was doing their own thing; adults went to work andchildren went to school. Jewel came to the middle of town when she spotted a group of five ponies, a dragon and a human.
One pony was a pegasus with a light blue body and a rainbow mane and a cloud with a rainbow lighting bolt coming out as her cutie mark. The second pegasus was light yellow with a pink and three pink butterflies as her cutie mark.
One was a unicorn pony which was white with a purple curly mane and tail with three blue diamonds as her cutie mark.
The other was pink earth pony with a dark pink mane and tail that looked like cotton candy with two blue and one yellow balloons as her cutie mark. The other earth pony was orange with a yellow mane and tail tied at the ends with a red band. She was also wearing a stetson hat and has three red apples as her cutie mark.
The human appeared to be 19 years old, peached colored and had short, brown hair and eyes. Finally, the dragon was purple with a green spikes running down from his head to his tail with a lime green underbelly.
Jewel approached them and said hi.
"Howdy, my name is Applejack. What's your name?" She asked.
My name is-" Jewel started but was cut off by Pinkie.
"Your Jewel, the newest Major of Starfleet, who also has the power to transform in animals and gain their natural abilites. And was recently adopted by Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia. *Gasp* Right?" Pinkie stated. Jewel looked bewildered.
"Y-Yes. How did you know all that?" Jewel asked.
"Trust me. Don't not ask." The human replied. "My name is Mykan Stevens."
"My name is Spike."
"I'm Rarity, darling. Spike's loving wife."
"I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony out of all Equestrians."
"Umm... I'm Fluttershy. Rhymey's wife."
"And I'm Pinkie Pie."
"Its nice to meet you all." Jewel greeted.
"So you can really change into animals?" Mykan asked. Jewel nodded.
"Can we see?" Spike asked. Jewel nodded.
Soon, everybody was at New Sweet Apple Acers and were in a clearing in the orchard. They all decided that the best way for Jewel to show off her transformations was in a friendly contest with Applejack and Rainbow Dash.
"Now. We are going to have a little competition to see Jewel's new power. Applejack and Jewel will knock down as many apples as they can. Whoever has the most first, wins." Mykan announced. Jewel transformed into her wolf form.
"Ready. Set......GO!"
The racers dashed off into the orchard, knocking down and collecting every apple they could find and within a minute, Applejack came back with 200 apples.
"Nice work, Applejack!" Rainbow praised. Applejack smiled, but it was replaced with shock as soon as Jewel came back......with a thousand apples in a couple buckets. Everybody was shocked.
"Amazing!" Pinkie praised. She and the others began praising Jewel for her outstanding work, while Applejack ans Rainbow Dash stayed back. "Ah' don't believe it." She said in disbelief. "Don't worry AJ, I'll get in the next contest..." Rainbow dash proudly.....
Sadly, she was totally wrong. The next contest was a cloud clearing contest. Jewel changed into her dragon form for this part. Rainbow Dash thought she had this in the bag. Rainbow cleared the sky in ten seconds. However, Jewel cleared the sky in under two seconds. Rainbow and Applejack did not like this at all.
"All our friends think Jewel is so special just because she can transform and bested us at what we're good at." Rainbow stated.
"We've got to put her in her place and I know just the way." Applejack added while smirking evily.
Hours later, the girls and Spike went home and Mykan teleported to his home in New Canterlot. Only Rainbow Dash and Applejack stayed with Jewel.
"Hey Jewel! Come here." Rainbow called. Jewel came over with a smile on her face, which vanished when she saw Rainbow and Applejack's upset faces.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Okay Jewel. As we all know, you're a Major." Applejack started. Jewel nodded.
"Well we are First Class Majors, which are far more superior than a Major. Meaning that you have to do what we say, okay?" Rainbow added. Jewel gulped and nodded.
For the next five days, Jewel did all of Applejack and Rainbow's chores; applebucking, clearing the clouds, cleaning the pigs and plowing the fields. She even watered the farm plants while it was pouring rain!
By day six, when everyone went to New Canterlot, requested by their royal majesties, Jewel was utterly exhausted!
Lighting, his friends, Mykan, Spike and the friendship ponies were present but Jewel was no where to seen. "Thank you for coming everyone." Grand Ruler stated.
"Why have you called us here?" Starla asked.
"We believe we may have found another secret about Jewel's sword." Queen Celestia replied. Everyone gasped in shock.
"Really?!" cried Dyno.
"Awesome!" added Myte.
"We've gotta tell Jewel.......wait where is Jewel?" Spike asked.
Everyone looked around the room, no sign of Jewel. "Now that you mention it, I haven't seen her all afternoon. Last time, I saw her was with Rainbow and Applejack." Mykan added.
The doors to the throne room creaked open and Jewel came in. Everybody gasped in shock. Jewel looked horrible; she was dripping water and shivering, her nose with bright pink, her mane was really disleveled and messy with leaves and dirt in it. She had some scratches on her as well. She was a mess!
"*Sniffle* Hey guys, *cough, cough*" Jewel greeted stuffed up.
The friendship ponies, except for Rainbow and Applejack, raced towards Jewel, who was struggling to stay standing.
"Jewel, darling, what ever happened that made you like this?" Rarity asked.
"*Sniffle* I-I was j-just *Achoo Achoo*" Jewel tried explaining. Mykan stepped forth and helped Jewel stand up.
"Come on Jewel, you need some rest. You can rest at my house." Mykan offered. Jewel was too tired to reply, so she just nodded. Mykan began leading Jewel out of the palace and to his home.
*Mykan’s POV*
I lead Jewel to my home and helped her over to the couch to rest. I placed a pillow on the left end of the couch and Jewel layed down. I got a blanket from my bedroom and placed it on her.
"*Sniffle* Thanks Mykan." Jewel thanked.
I smiled at her. "No problem, now get some rest so you can get better."
Jewel nodded and began to dose off but I asked her one last question.
"Jewel, how did you end up like this?"
"Applejack and Rainbow Dash had me do their chores." Jewel answered.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because they said *Sniffle* that as First Class Majors they're my superiors and that I have to do whatever they say."
"Okay, thanks Jewel."
With that, Jewel went to sleep, while I exited my house and teleported back to the royal palace.
*POV Ends*
Back at the royal palace, everyone was trying to figure out how Jewel got so sick and weak.
"Maybe she was training too hard." Starla predicted.
"She could not have, we have not seen her in the dojo lately. And that war rain water on her, not sweat." Grand Ruler objected.
"Then what happened?" Lighting asked.
Just then, Mykan popped into the room. "I believe I could answer that." He said in an upset voice.
"What happened Mykan?" Pinkie asked.
"Jewel just told me that Applejack and Rainbow Dash had her to their chores for them all this week." Everybody turned to Rainbow and Applejack with upset faces. "Rainbow, Applejack, why would you do that to Jewel?!" Starla asked.
"Because she was showing off." Rainbow answered, gruffly.
"Showing off? How?" Fluttershy asked.
"She collected more apples than Applejack and cleared more clouds faster than me."
"But that's not showing off. Did she even brag about beating you two?"
"...Well.....no"
"Then, that's not showing off."
"It sounds like you two were jealous of Jewel. Jealously can make ponies to mean and crazy things with bad consequences. You two should go apologize to Jewel and find a way to make it up to her." Artie added.
"Also, you two are sentenced to forty-eight hours of community service." Celestia said.
Rainbow and Applejack hung their heads in shame.
Back at Mykan's house, Jewel was sleeping like a baby when she awoke to Mykan coming in to check on her. "Hey Jewel. How are you feelin?" he asked.
"A little better." Jewel replied.
Then, Jewel stomach growled loudly and she blushed with embrrassmet. "Sorry. My stomach gets kinda growly when I'm hungry." Mykan smiled at her and went to get her some food. He came back a few minutes later with a bowl of chicken soup.
"Here Jewel, this should help you feel better."
"*Sniffle* Thanks Mykan." Jewel thanked. Mykan spoon fed Jewel until the bowl was empty. "Now get some sleep and you'll be better in no time." Mykan suggested. Jewel nodded and fell asleep.
Two days passed and Jewel was feeling all better. Jewel saw Rainbow Dash and Applejack talking top each other. Jewel went over to them.
"Hi girls." She greeted.
"Hey Jewel. Look we're sorry about making you do all our chores. We were just jealous of your abilites and what we did was silly and foolish. Can you forgive us?" Rainbow dash asked.
"Of course I forgive you. So...friends?" Jewel asked.
"Friends!" Applejack and Rainbow dash agreed.The girlsshared a laugh.
