Twilight was honestly surprised with her recent fascination in comics. She didn’t have anything against them but they were normally more Spike’s speed. At least that’s what she thought until she had gotten what was called “Manga” to add to a new segment of the bookshelves. So obviously, she decided to give them a read. Next thing she knows there’s a constant obsession with the stories and artwork plaguing her brain as she consumes the content for weeks on end.
The lavender mare let out a slow, crusty blink as she finally finished the most recent issue of the manga she had been reading. Due to the story now needing time for the next issue to be released she had finally been able to break free from her trance with it.
“I-I, wh-what day is it?” She muttered to herself.
“Sunday!”
Twilight did NOT shriek like a banshee she only yelped. She turned to look at her loyal assistant who was covering where his ears should be with a pained expression.
“Y-Yeah you’ve kinda been out of it since you’ve been binging Mareruto. Want some breakfast? You’ve been on autopilot and basically only ate quick daisy sandwiches.” Spike offered kindly. Twilight rubbed her eyes and nodded.
“That sounds great, yes.” She said with a smile.
Now full of proper sustenance Twilight saw it fit to finally start going outside again. Admittedly she caused a bit of a scene when the sun first touched her eyes, as she had started hissing and rolling around on the ground. Afterwards, she decided getting some more sun and some movement in would be good for her, and she could do both and check in on her friend at Sweet Apple Acres. If she remembered correctly her friends did try to check on her when she was shut in her room, and she kinda acted like a feral cat and hissed at them.
“It’ll be good to see Applejack. I can apologize, catch up, and get some exercise in if she has anything she needs help with around the farm!” She spoke aloud to herself as she grew near to her destination.
You’ll also see that sweet flank in action
Haha woah who thought that. She walked up to the front gate, where Applejack was sitting surprisingly.
“Hey Twilight!” The farm pony said raising a hoof without looking back at Twilight. Weird.
“Hi Applejack! Sorry about how I acted a while back, I got kinda caught up in mynobuckingwaywhat-“
Twilight’s slurry of words was induced by Applejack turning around to look down at her with two purple, ripple-patterned, eyes. Twilight’s jaw remained slack just gazing into Applejack’s eyes.
“Uh, surgarcube? You doin’ okay there?” The larger mare said, getting closer to Twilight and nudging her with a hoof.
“Y-Y-Your eyes…”
“Yeah? What about’ ‘em?”
“Th-They’re incredible!” The purple pony said, trying to get closer to Applejack’s face. The farm pony reacted with her pupils turning to pinpricks and then blushing.
“I- Wh- C-C’mon now, yer’ teasing me!” She said, pulling her hat down over her eyes as her freckled cheeks blushed.
“N-No! I mean it! They look just like the Rinnegan!” Twilight said, having found a box somewhere to stand on so she could push the hat off her eyes and hold her face by the cheeks to stare at her nose-to-nose.
“Rinnuh’ what now? Is that from one’a them ‘Magna’s’ you an’ Applebloom been reading?”
“Yeah! Wait Applebloom’s been reading manga too?” Twilight said cocking an eyebrow.
“Yep, she an’ the rest of the crusaders. She said Spike recommended it to ‘em. One Hoof or sumthin’.”
“Huh. Neat.” Twilight then shook her head. “I’m getting off topic. How did you get your eyes to look like that! Some kind of contacts?” She inquired turning Applejack’s head from side-to-side to inspect each ringed eyeball.
“Uh, no. Ah’ woke up with ‘em like this about two days ago. Muh’ visions better cuz’ of ‘em and that pony appeared in a puff of smoke and started helpin’ out on tha’ farm when ah’ thought about it!” She said, pointing a hoof ever to a mare with pale orange fur, black studs coming out of parts of her body, and the same purple ripples in her eyes as Applejack. She instantly stopped plowing the field like she had been robotically doing before and waved at Applejack in sync as Applejack waved at her, then did nothing.
“…can ya’-“ The orange mare began to plow the field again before Applejack had to finish vocalizing her thought. “Thank ya’ kindly again!”
Once again Twilights jaw was floored. Those weren’t contacts. They were honest-to-Celestia Rinnegan. Nothing else could shock her now.
“Oh! An’ there’s this one too but h-he’s kinda scary.” Applejack said, turn to the open space of the road. She clapped her hooves together and the black rings in her eyes pulsed white as a plume of smoke erupted in from of them. When Twilight’s vision cleared she was staring at the King of Hell summon. Its gargantuan mouth opened and almost too fast for Twilight to react a hand reached out toward her. She was saved by Applejack whacking the hand with a black rod swiftly.
“HEY! NO! Ah’ already told you none of that when you grabbed poor Big Mac’s tongue!” She admonished the otherworldly creature. Twilight stood there dumbfounded, as the creatures eyes actually showed remorse. Applejack clapped her hooves again and it disappeared in a puff of smoke.
“Ah’m mighty sorry about that, for some reason he tries to grab folk’s tongue fer’ some reason.” Applejack said, now checking over Twilight to make sure she was okay. Nothing could top that for her.
“Woah! Sorry there Twilight! Muh’ eyes have been actin’ all funny, and they kinda burn a lil’ bit! Mighta’ cried a bit too much when robin’ wanted to live.” Applebloom said, stumbling into Twilight. She looked up at the mare and was now seeing Twilight’s further shocked face in incredible detail.
“What?”
Twilight just dumbly pointed at Applebloom’s two red eyes that bore tomoe each. As did Applejack.
