Fizzlepop yawned as she got herself ready, brushing her mane and coat. After she had a quick shower a knock came to the door, she opened it and had to teleport to avoid being run over by the wheelchair. Celestia started smiling as her wheelchair glowed and part of her mane was now rainbow coloured. Fizzlepop had a question “What happened to the dragon I hatched?”

Celestia frowned “We’re not sure what to do with him.”

Fizzlepop said in a determined tone “I will take care of him, he’s my responsibility.”

Celestia raised an eyebrow “Are you sure? Raising a dragon isn’t easy.”

Fizzlepop smiled “I will make sure he’s okay, I mean it can’t be that hard to keep him fed with gems and teach proper use of fire. “

Celestia asked “How do you know that?”

Fizzlepop smiled “Well my family has a lot of non-ponies, I have an illusion spell on me right now. This isn’t the true me.”

Celestia frowned “What do you mean?” Fizzlepop eyes were now slitted like a dragon. Celestia raised an eyebrow “You’re a half-dragon?”

Fizzlepop smiled “Quarter, my mother is a half-dragon she wears her own illusion. She opened her mouth revealing a sharp set of teeth in a toothy grin she then burped which spit out a small flame.

Celestia smiled “Well then I should leave the dragon you hatched in your care, once I removed you magic burst I used what little magic I had left to fix all the damage done.”

Fizzlepop frowned “I can’t believe I didn’t check in on my parents.”

Celestia smiled “I’m sure their fine.”

Fizzlepop asked “Um, can I see my brother at some point? I haven’t seen him since he joined the guard, he is always too busy.”

Celestia frowned “Is he Blade Captain Storm Blast?”

Fizzlepop gasped “He’s a captain!”

Celestia sighed “Yes, he does nothing but be boring all day. I swear all I’ve seen him do is patrol and do notes; he has too good a work ethic. I am officially putting him on holiday tomorrow; you are tasked with keeping on holidays. I swear every time a holiday comes up he sneaks back into his room, I swear he needs a filly oops sorry I forgot you….”

Fizzlepop deadpanned “Celestia, I’m sorry for interrupting but I have walked in way too many times on my parents ‘activities’, they are notorious for forgetting doors exist.”

Celestia forced a smile “Anyway the first lesson is on advanced illusion work.”

Fizzlepop smiled “I’m ready Celestia.”

Celestia smiled “The type illusion I will show is to design and to create a convincing doppelganger.” Celestia glowed her horn creating a perfect functioning replica of herself which she commanded to move backwards and forwards.

Celestia then blinked to see two copies bouncing up down next to Fizzlepop. Celestia frowned “I’m getting a little concerned you have exhibited so much power of a filly your age as well as knowledge too, I need to examine you to see what’s causing this.” She cast a simple scanning spell.

Celestia knew the basics of how most ponies’ magic worked, they have a magical system that exist on a spiritual level in background of their physical system, Unicorns in particular usually have 8 magic chambers which can contain magic, 3 in the brain five in the rest of the body. She knew Starswirl had 24, 9 in his brain and 15 elsewhere. What shocked her was Fizzlepop only had one or more specifically her magic chamber was as large as her body and it would grow as her body grew.

Fizzlepop asked “What’s wrong?”

Celestia said hiding her disbelief “It appears your magic chamber is as large as you body is.” Fizzlepop stared dumbfounded at the revelation. Celestia said “I think I will require a few days to revise you study plans accordingly.”

Fizzlepop nodded as Celestia wheeled herself out of the room, she thought (I’m just glad she’s on my side) Celestia trotted away.

A few hours of reading and practice later a stallion trotted in carrying a baby dragon. He looked like a mess his coast burnt and his mane singed, he begged “Please take him?”

Fizzlepop nodded and took the little dragon. She then realised she hadn’t restored her illusion, she shook her head of those thoughts and asked “What do you want to be called?”

The baby dragon stared at her blankly, she looked at him and saw the green spikes. She smiled “I’ll name you Spike, now oh dear I better go shopping a baby dragon should eat about ten gems per day for proper growth, I ate two point five gems per day but I’m a quarter dragon.”

She put on a pair of saddlebags and summoned some bits out of a portal, she thought (Thank Celestia for dimensional storage space.) She put a small bag of bits into her saddlebags. She put Spike onto her back and headed off into the city, she knew ponies were looking at them but she didn’t care. She arrived at a gem store. She asked “Can I buy 50 rubies and 200 emeralds please.”

The stallion replied “Get lost, you can’t afford anything here.”

Fizzlepop snarled staring at him with her slitted eyes as she pointed to herself and Spike “I’m buying food for the pair of us.” She slammed a small bag of bits on the table. The stallion quivered and gave her the gems which put in her saddlebags. He stared down to see a puddle under his hooves.

Fizzlepop returned to the castle and happily ate some gems along with Spike, who gave her a big hug. She smiled knowing she was a big sister to somepony else.


Author's Note

Yeah Fizzlepop is a quarter dragon, the show gives no explantion why a foal would be allowed to raised a baby dragon by herself. I decided to give one for my story.
