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>
