The Many Sides of Twilight Sparkle

Still sweating as she started her shift, Twilight took a look around. People were checking everything out. The phones, the headphones, the computers...everything. Looks like today's going to be busy. No surprise there, really. "Hi there!" she said to a waiting customer. "How can I help you?" she asked, putting a smile on her face.

The customer looked at Twilight and said "Yes, I'm looking for the latest phone model."

Still wearing her smile, Twilight said "Right this way, sir." She went over all the latest phone models, giving her customer all the specs, pros and cons, and the prices.

Yes! she thought with a fist pump as the customer left with his purchase. Not even ten minutes in and I got my first sale of the day! Looking around here, Twilight quickly checked her phone.

Twilight sent her own text after double-checking for people watching her.

After she sent her text, Twilight looked around for her next customer. Much to her surprise, her next customer was..."Lemon Zest? I thought I saw you and the CPA girls out of the corner of my eye while I was trying frantically not to be late. What brings you here?"

Lemon Zest smiled. "We originally came here to see Applejack's sick cup flipping tricks, but her shift's over now. We're all killing time and doing our own things here. I just wanted to stop by and see how you look in uniform. Not too shabby!" she winked.

Twilight blushed slightly.

Lemon Zest laughed. "I'm just teasing you a little. The real reason I came here is that I need my headphones fixed." she took off her headphones and handed them to Twilight. "I got a little too the song I was listening to, and my headphones just fell off and cracked a little."

Twilight laughed awkwardly. "Well, that shouldn't be too big a problem." She channeled her geode and used her telekinesis to get a screwdriver and opened up Lemon Zest's headphones.

Lemon Zest's jaw dropped at this sight. "Whoa...how do you do that?"

Twilight smiled and rolled her eyes. "None of the girls told you about what happened at Camp Everfree?" she said as she went to work on the headphones.

Lemon Zest shook her head. "All I know is that it was another one of those magical problems you and the other Rainbooms solved."

Twilight smiled. "Well, long story short, each of us obtained a geode and gained new magical abilities as a result. You've seen us all wear those necklaces with our Power Symbols, right?"

Lemon Zest nodded.

"Those are the forms the geodes took when they chose us."

Lemon Zest's eyes widened. "So if you can do that, what can the other girls do?"

"Well as you can see, I have telekinesis."

Lemon Zest nodded.

"Applejack has super strength."

Lemon Zest smiled. "That figures."

"Rainbow Dash has super speed."

"No surprise there." Smiled Lemon.

"Sunset Shimmer can read minds and memories." said Twilight.

"Now that sounds sweet!"

"Pinkie Pie can make things explode just by touching them."

Lemon Zest's eyes widened. "Shit, that's a dangerous combination!"

Twilight laughed. "Tell me about it." she then continued. "Fluttershy can talk to animals."

"She always did have a soft spot for them." said Lemon Zest.

"And Rarity can summon diamonds for a variety of uses." Finished Twilight.

"Cool." said Lemon.

Wait, did Lemon Zest just...nah. Must be my imagination. thought Twilight. "All done and good as new!" she said.

"Sweet. Thanks Twilight!" Said Lemon Zest as she paid up. "I'll catch up with you later."

"You bet!" said Twilight as she watched her former schoolmate leave.

Okay now, who's next? she thought as she felt her phone buzz. Checking her surroundings to be sure nobody was watching, she looked at her phone.

Huh. Impressive. Twilight sent a text.

Okay, enough distractions. Time to get back to it! thought Twilight. "Anyone need assistance?" she asked as she walked around, looking for customers to help. No one, huh? Twilight folded her arms and made a sputtering noise. Oh well, can't expect every day to be busy. She looked around the store. There were people looking at the headphones, the phones and the computers, but nobody seemed to need help. Twilight checked the time on her phone. Hmm. My shift's almost over, but I can't just stand around doing nothing... She began to nervously pull at her hair thinking of something to do. Oh! I know what to do! she thought as an idea came to her.

Twilight made her way over to the boxes that Bulk Biceps had helped her with and began sorting everything inside. Few things are more productive and satisfying than organizing things! she thought with a big smile.

Once she was finished, Twilight had realized her shift was over. Organization really helped calm her down. Wait, why didn't I organize stuff at home before I got to work? Twilight slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand. That would have done the trick and I wouldn't have run the risk of being late...I think.

Twilight punched out and checked her phone.

Still no changes so far. She's taking a rest right now.- Sent by Fluttershy

Something's gotta give eventually. She was drinking a smoothie that I brought her from work.- Sent by Applejack

She better be at her best when I take her on!- Sent by Rainbow Dash

Twilight decided to send a reassuring text to her friends.

Don't worry, her fever should break eventually.- Sent by Twilight Sparkle

Eager to spend some time with Timber, Twilight dashed for her car.
