The Time Has Come

Of course Rarity knocks first. She being the most confident and in a hurry of the trio, she is not anticipating anything major might tie them up.
"Knock knock, any pony home?" said Rarity upbeat as a lute
"Yeah Rarity" called a distant voice " Come in, I'll be down shortly"
"Fluttershy and her new friend are here as well" in mid stride
"New friend?" asked Twilight as came downstairs, books levitating before her
"Yes he's been dying to meet you"

Our hero would of laughed at this if the dark humor weren't at his expense, or if any pony were in on the joke
"Yes, I found him hurt and he won't get checked out until he speaks with you" said Fluttershy in her ever demure demeanor
"Me, whatever for, the library never had a concrete lending policy but I'm sure..."
" It's not that Ma'am" piped our hero " I just really needed your help"
"I'll try, what did you need"
"I don't know, I think a spell"
"Well you've certainly came to the right place, it's nothing devious is it"
"No I got those spells covered" he said avoiding eye contact " but it's important, at least to me any way"
"Well we certainly can't fix the problem if we don't know what it is now can we"
"Your right Ma'am" he answered "It's my magic"
"What about it?"
"I think it's been cursed"
"Now that is just silly, every pony knows curses don't exist, Why would you think that"
"Well.... I think it's killing me"
"Killing you, your own magic, that is absurd"
"You wouldn't say so if you knew how I felt" he replied dejectedly
"Well show me"
"I'm scared, I'm really scared"
"I'm sure it will be fine"
"Okay, I'll try one of my special spells then you'll see"
"Special spell?" said Twilight a little intrigued
"Well..." he said turning his flank to Twilight " Do you see that pink heart, the one that looks like it has pages"
"Uh..Huh.."
"Well, that is my "Trust in Love" spell"
"What does it do?"
"It lets the thoughts and memories of those who trust each other to channel through them"
"Like a telepathy spell"
"Sort of, it only works if you trust them"
"We just met, how do you expect that to work"
"Well I'm not going to get any of your memories but if I can't trust you then, then I fear..." he started to snivel " I fear.."
"It's okay, I promise I won't tell a soul without your permission what I see"
"Really, you mean it"
"Of course I do now lets see how we can help"
"Thank you Ms Twilight" he said as he leaped to bow at her hooves "Thank you, thank you, thank.."
"Okay, okay" she replied, pulling her legs from his a little distressed" Just try not get over excited, I still doubt this is a curse"
"I'll try"
"So how does this work"
"Well I'll start the spell, and then when it's charged I'll touch my horn to yours and it should start the transfer"
"What do I have to do?"
"Aside from being receptive, just try to build up a little magic of your own to help me out"
"That's it?"
"That's it, but..." he started to blush
"But what?" she asked with an inquisitive eyebrow
"Well there might be a side effect"
"And you were planning on telling me this when exactly?"
"Right now" he replied
"Fair enough" she said rolling her eyes "What kind of side effect?"
"Nothing serious I assure you, just a slight....for a lack of a better word, euphoria"
"Euphoria?"
"Yes but in my current condition it shouldn't be an issue"
"That's not so bad I guess"
"Oh thank god" he said as the blood started to drain from his face
"Any thing else I should know" she asked with a questioning glare
"No, that's it'
"Okay so when do we start?"
"About that" he said as he turned to Fluttershy and Rarity "This is usually done in private"
"Oh my, should we wait outside?"
"No no stay, I'm sure I'll be alright but it will make me feel better if my friends are there when I let some random pony start casting spells on me"
"Okay...gulp...here goes hoping, Ready?"
"Ready"
"Okay, 1...2...3..."

Then, it started. a hooves length apart, it started>

A Spell to End All Spells

As the magic swirled like a snake to the tip of our hero's horn, a small heart shape formed.The taxing effect was evident to everypony in the room. The facial contortions making him completely unrecognizable.The magenta magic sending pulses of soft light in a several meter radius. Through gritted teeth he was able to mumble
"Twilight....huh...huh..are you ready...uhhh.."
"Yes, I am"
"Okay.."

As their horns touched the magic flowed. Our hero's eyes turned a mystic white as his psyche was channeled into Twilight.
The mare's eyes started to roll back as a deep crimson hued blush formed on her face. Her front knees buckled, dropping to the floor as an audible moaning escaped from her layered with magical echo as the memories coursed into her. But the melancholy images were to much and overcame the pleasure and tears welled up from her soul. The unadulterated past of our brave hero, scene by scene, along with the knowledge he acquired over his meager time in this world was suddenly Twilight's. But before the spell could complete, our hero was tackled by the noble intentions of Spike the baby dragon
"Leave her alone" he yelled as he shook our hero who he did not know was unconscious

Twilight was quick to recover and rushed over to Fluttershy and Rarity who were already in the commotion
"Move, give him some air" she shouted in a panic" Spike, what on earth did you think you were doing"
"I thought he was hurting you"
"With Fluttershy and Rarity just feet away"
"Oh, well... I"
"Oh no he's out-cold, Spike get off him"
"What..Ahhh...." he jumped
"Lovey, wake up, come on wake up"

He slow blinks turned rapid as he came to
"Twilight, are youcough...cough.... alright"
"Yes Lovey"
"Please don't call me that, it's so embarrassing"
"Okay, okay, can you stand"
"Yeah....cough...cough...COUGH..I'm fine..."

The fit subsided and his hooves rested. As he looked up he was confronted by the slack-jawed faces of his new friends
"What's everypony staring at, what's wrong" then looking down "Oh dear god no"

The blood stained carpet looking back at him filled him with a dread so dear it made him sob
"Oh please don't hate me...sniff...I swear I'll work to get it replaced, I'll do anything, I'm so so sorry I.." that's all he could manage through the tears
"Are you INSANE, a spell ,makes you cough up close to a litter of blood and your worried about the carpet, What on earth is wrong with you,"
"I'm sorry" her tone unsettling him even more" "I'm sorry"
"Your sorry, what on earth could you have done, it couldn't have been helped
"sniff... But"

Fluttershy put her hoof on Twilight's shoulder, realizing she wasn't helping let her take over
"Now now. it's okay no one is mad at you" in her most soothing voice' We were just worried that's all"
"Really...sniff...You mean it"
"Of course, a rug can be replaced but you can't"

And with that he jumped up to embrace Fluttershy as tightly as he could
"I'm glad you're okay hmm hmm Lovey Dovey...hmm hmm"
"Twilight you promised you wouldn't say any thing"
"Come on, it's just your name"
"But, it's embarrassing, that's no name for a stallion"
"Well it couldn't be helped, pony's tend to yell things when they're scared"
"Alright, well, could you at least make up a nickname"
"Nonsense darling, I think it's fabulous"
"Me to, it really suits you"
"Do you mean it?"
"Of course dear, I simply love it" she said with a giggle
"Well, could you at least leave out the Dovey?"
"Fair enough dear, simply Lovey"
"huhhh..." he huffed in irritation " this is just lovely"
"

A Fatefull Encounter

Our story begins with our hero outside the gates of Pony-ville,. He is in awe of the size of the city being from a land far away. He is troubled, and in a search for maybe his last hope for help. It is night, a few hours before dawn, there is a chill in the air. Our hero has come along way to Pony-ville in search of help for his affliction. He has traveled many miles, done many things he is not proud of. But his life was on the line so he had to make peace with his timid nature and forge on and at last, his goal is close at hand. Let us hope we are not to late

"Oh no, what am I going to do this place is enormous" he lamented. "But I have to find her, she'll know what to do, she just has to....just...has..."

Fumbling from pain or exhaustion, he searches his saddle bag for a spell book. Resolute, he removes his locator spells from his bag
"I was hoping I would find her before I had to do this again, but it can't be helped i must try". He said as he set the book on the ground
"It's a simple spell, maybe it won't be so bad". Wishful thinking.

He started the spell and the pink aura surrounded him as it searched for it's target. The familiar pain began immediately, making him wince
"Come on.....Just a little more..."

But it was to late, the spell extinguished the moment a heading was received and our hero fainted, with nothing to show for his efforts but a slight bloody nose. Unconscious he lay there. As if he was waiting, waiting for no-pony.

Several hours later, around mid morning, our hero is gently jostled out of his stupor by the kind hoof of a yellow mare with a pink main. It takes him several minutes to get his bearings
"Um...are you alright, I seen you lying there and I was so worried that..."

At the realization of what was going on our hero fled to a nearby bush, this startled the mare until she saw how the the bush was trembling with fear just as the injured pony was who used it as an escape
"Oh my" she said softly " I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't mean to frighten you but you you looked hurt and in all good conscious I couldn't leave you here could I?"

Sensing that this mare meant him no harm, he slowly peeked his head out of the bush, trembling he manages to mutter.
"Wh..Who....Who are you, Where am I" asked our hero " Wait, I know where I am, just who are you? Am I in trouble?"
"Oh my no, It's just that you looked so terrible lying there I had to make sure you were okay" she said inching closer "My name is Fluttershy, are you alright?"

Our hero fully emerged from his hiding place, his suit is tattered, but that was normal, its been through a lot. His saddle bag was not any worse for ware, well no more worse. A slight trickle of blood from his last spell was still visable
"Oh no you look awful" exclaimed Fluttershy, as much as she could
"I'm so sorry miss" he said turning away with shame " I can't help the way I look, I was born this way, I'll just..."
"Oh no no no, I didn't mean it like that, I meant that your injured, Here let me take you to the hospital"
"While I'm flattered that a creature so beautiful would take pity on me, there is some-pony I need to find"
"Well.." she replied with a slight blush " Maybe I could help you find them. What do they look like?"
"To be honest, I'm not really sure, I've never met her before"
"Well you know its a her, that narrows it down, do you know her name?"
"Only what I know from the legends"
"Legends?" she perked her head inquisitively
"You don't know the legends of the mane six, the saviors of Equestria"
"Oh" she said a little giggle " Yes I've heard of them, which one where you looking for?"
"The one who was trained in magic by Celestia herself"\
"You mean Twilight?"
"You know her?" he said with an ecstatic grin
"Oh my yes, she is one of my best friends"
"Huh.. fitting a mare as kind and beautiful as you would keep such company"
"Well I could take you to her, If that okay"
"You would be seen with me?"
"Why wouldn't I?" she asked a little puzzled
"I'm not the most attractive or reputable a pony"
"Nonsense, I'm sure that she wouldn't mind either, just promise me one thing"
"Anything for my exquisite savior, should I walk a few lengths away from you?"
"Uhh... no that's fine" she said, puzzled again " No just be sure to get yourself checked out afterwords okay"
"You flatter me my dear, of course I will, Lead the way"
"Alright. well try to be careful in town, you may be more hurt then you think"
"I'll be fine,as long as your with me I'm sure no obstacle could detain us"
"Well all the same it would make me feel better if your careful"
"That is my most important duty right now, to make you feel better"
"Okay? well it's this way, I'll walk slow just in case"
"Thank you Miss Fluttershy, I am truly grateful"

At the end of chapter one we find our hero en route to the library with Fluttershy in search of a cure to the curse his magic has become.The targets of his magic were always filled with pleasure, for that was the usual side effect of his special talent, and now to bring this joy to others fills him with pain. Even simple spells like levitation cause him harm. Critiques and advice are appreciated for this is my first Fanfic. Hope you enjoy

To Scare a Unicorn

So now our hero, with Fluttershy, are on their way through town. The timid colt following his savior as fast as he can until she stops to say high to a friend would like her help.
"Fluttershy, Darling isn't this a most beautiful day?"
"Why yes it is Rarity, it is almost perfect"
"So where are you off to today Flutershy.
"To the library to help my new friend"
"A friend you say, may i meet her?"
"Him, Rarity, him"
"Ohoo, a stallion,congratulations Fluttershy "
"Not like that, he needs help"
"Okay, whats his name?
"Ummm I'm not sure, hey where did he go"
'I think I know" she said with a giggle" look down"
"Oh my, Rarities not going to hurt you"
"She won't?"
"Of course not sweetie I just want to meet you"
"Oh okay , wait your a unicorn, introductions should be easy then"
"what do you mean?"
"Well it is just a part of my special talent"
"Speaking of darling, your cutie mark is simply couture, a bit large for my taste but you pull it off fabulously"
"Thank you miss, your much to kind" he replied, his white face turning ruby
"Come now, it must symbolize something important, what is your talent anyway?"
"Uhm.. Love spells"
"Oooo... sounds fun"
"Not as much as you might think, I've got a spell and a scar for each heart"
"I don't see any scars'
"Well, for a fashion minded pony like yourself you must know the true function of a good outfit"
"And what is that pray tell"
"A beautiful outfit can erase the ugliness of a pony's past that may follow him to his future"
"Then why is yours in such disarray?"
"I...uh...don't have the money to get it mended" he said as his head sank, tears welling in his catalina-blue eyes
"Oh my poor, sweet dear. Tell you what, after this whole library business I'll make you a new one, how does that sound?"
"But I can't pay you miss Rarity, it would be..."
"Nonsense, call it amends for making an adorable colt cry like that"
"Colt?"
"Oh dear where are my manners, for upsetting a handsome stallion" she said, squishing his cheeks
"Oh thank you miss Rarity, I'll never forget this, I'll do everything in my power to repay you"
"It's my pleasure dear, now lets hurry along, I have an enormous amount of shopping to do"
"And angel bunny might be getting worried"

Chapter two ends with the trio at the front gate of the library. Our hero is about to meet the mare he hopes can save his, magic. He is a little nervous but after the kindness of Fluttershy's guidance and Rarity's generous offer, fear subsides to anticipation. Maybe all hope isn't lost. Maybe
