Chapter 1

Chapter 1 (Maybe it’s not)

You are awaked by a sudden and startling jab; you eyes fly open to see what's disturbed your present sleeping. You see Twilight face in front of you “Oh good you're up.”

You’re a little groggy when you start to speak “Is it morning already?”
the whole time thinking to yourself sweet god please don’t be morning.

Twilight twiddles her hooves “Um no it’s still late in the night.”

You look past her towards the window and notice it’s still pitch black outside, your a little mad at Twilight for waking you up in the middle of the night but you do a good job at not showing it. “What do you need Twilight?”

Twilight continues to fiddle with her hooves “Um well Spike sneezed on his bed and it burst into flames and he is still a little um…”

You cut in “Drunk?”

Twilight is quick to correct you “No there’s no alcohol in Equestria, cider is just a drink that relaxes you and if you drink too much you get really tired.”

“So like alcohol right?”

“No more like a drink ponies drink to relax”

“So like alcohol right?”

Twilight finally gives into you “Fine yes like alcohol but ponies don’t call it that.”

You laugh at your victory over Twilight; you think this is the first time you have won a battle of wits over her…pretty bad it’s over something like this.

“Ok so what does Spikes bed have to do with me?” You already start planning an excuse if she asks you to sleep on the floor.

Twilight again fettles with her hooves “I was wondering if I could sleep with you?”
“I mean just for tonight, I can get a new bed for Spike tomorrow I just don’t want him to sleep on the floor and his scales are not the funniest things to sleep next to.”

You look at her for a few minute you’re not going to say no you just want to see how serious she is; you know there is a perfectly good couch downstairs. Your continuous silent stare makes her bring out the big guns, she gives an innocent little smile… god that’s cute…or is it Celestia that’s cute? You move over to the other side of the bed and watch as she crawls into the bed.

You have seen the way she sleeps and it always strikes you as odd how she can pull covers up to her with her hooves.

You lay in awkward silence for a few moments both of you staring at the ceiling. The silence is broken by Twilight’s voice, its a little more quiet than usual as she talks “So I was thinking about inviting the Princess up after Winter Wrap up… that way she would see your magic in person.”

You agree at her comment “Well that would be better than having to write something.”

She quickly sits up in the bed and now has a hyper voice “You think that’s a good idea?”

Her smile and the way she is so hype scares you a little so you give a slight nod

“Oh that’s great!” she lies back down and starts motioning with her hoofs towards the ceiling in circular and wavy manner “You could try all sorts of things levitation, short range teleportation OH you could even try number 25.”

You yawn, you’re interested in what she’s saying but you just are too tired to care.

Twilight looks to you and gives a little giggle “I guess that can wait till morning, good night.”

She rolls over to her side, opposite of you; you look at her mane in the moonlight from the window you never really noticed how beautiful the colors go together with her lavender coat. You reach your hand out and start massaging her head like you would a dog. She lets out a low moan as you continue and her ears start to twitch. She slowly turns herself to face you; you stop and look into her eyes, they look different in the dimly lit room but they still have their soft color purple. Your face feels warm as blood rushes into them you’re a little embarrassed at the way she is looking at you with her big puppy dog like eyes. You extend your hand again and move from her head to her ears she closes her eyes as you rub in and around her ears. You don’t know why you are starting to feel strange, you try reminding yourself that she is just an animal. You continue rubbing her all the while trying to convince yourself the only reason you like it is because it gives you the same satisfaction that rubbing a dog dose. You move your hand down her neck and start rubbing her face in circular motions with your thumbs. Her eyes are closed and she has a part of her tongue out. You continue to move your hand down her silky feeling coat until the mind battle that is raging in your mind wins; you stop rubbing her and roll over so that you’re no longer facing her. You don’t know if she opened her eyes to see why you stopped but after a few minutes you feel a hoof embrace your side, you don’t turn but you can feel her warm body creep closer to yours. You grind your teeth trying not to turn around for fear of where it may lead.

After a few minutes of silences you start to hear a faint snoring, your face cools down and you start to feel sleep settle in.

End of chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 (Winter Wrap up)

You awake a few hours later, your eyes slowly open as you take in the morning sun. You no longer feel Twilight next to you so you roll over to see if she is still there, she’s not. At first you feel like a little sick because you fear you might have had imagined last night, but closer inspection of the bed and you find purple strains of hair. Note to self I’m not crazy but I might be a little insecure. You sit up in the bed and rub your eyes as you get up from the bed you make sure to give a loud moan as if to make sure the whole world knows you're up.

You walk towards the stairs and look down, you see Twilight standing at the podium like she normal dose and you see Spike sitting in a nearby chair holding what looks and smells like hot coco.

As you near the bottom of the stairs Twilight turns around “Good morning sleepy head.” Her smile is something that has always made morning not so bad as of lately.

You walk over to her and pet her head.

“I thought you would like to know the Princess loves the idea of stopping by, she has always wanted to see winter wrap up in person and with you here she has another reason.”

You look toward Spike “You feeling better buddy?”

Spike slams his head on the table “Why are you both yelling I'M RIGHT HERE!”

He gets up and walks past both of you, “I’m going back to bed it’s too early to be.”

Twilight shakes her head a looks at you “He did this last year too. Anyways we need to start now you have a lot of training to do before the Princess shows up.”

“How long do we have?” you ask

Twilight taps her hoof to her mouth “hmm I would say a few days.”

You think over what she said a few days… good going Twilight I can’t even study for a test in a few days.

You sigh “ok what do we need to?”

“We will start with simple magic and move slowly, this is your first day and I don’t want to overload you.”

You think to yourself for a moment on what she said, first day? Doesn't want to overload me? She must not know you’re a master wizard on Oblivion… damn you video games.

Twilight floats a book over to you “Here put this back on the shelf.”

You smile to yourself as you walk over and place it on the bookshelf she took it from.

“Ha ha very funny.” She floats the book from the shelf and places it on the table “Now try it with magic.”

You lift your hands up and stare at the book. Twilight watches with a smile as the book floats off the table. The book floats pass you both towards the shelf, you feel proud as the book fits into the shelf.

You smile as she hops around you

“Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes”

“Great job that was the first test and you did great.”

“Hey Twilight I hate to break it to you but I kind of did this yesterday, shouldn’t I try something different?”

Twilight stops jumping around “oh yes of course.” She looks around the room for a few minutes “AH here we got.”

She lowers her head and her horn glows purple, all the books on a nerdy shelf start to float and then fall to the ground with a loud bang.

You're surprised Spike didn’t hear the racket; you look to Twilight “Ok what do I have to do?”

Twilight sits down on the floor “Lift all the books up and place them back on the shelf.”

You smile a little at the comment and think to yourself oh Twilight you underestimate my powers. You turn to the messy pile of books and try your luck…no good the books stay flat and you look like a fool flapping your arms up and down.

Twilight laughs a little at your fail, it makes you feel a little embarrassed but you keep trying, you eventually get one of the books to float up and you try to place it back on the shelf but instead of it being gently placed it flies at you and hits you in the head…ow… you stagger a bit, who keeps a huge leather book on a shelf to practice magic with really?

“Are you ok?” Twilight stops laughing.

“ya i’m fine.”

“You want to call it quits I’m sure the Princess won’t expect you to do too much.”

You think to yourself for a minute but the wanting to be a wizard blinds your judgment “Naw I’m going to continue.”

After a few more tries you finally get the books to place themselves on the shelves. You look back to Twilight she claps her hooves happily “Good now lets get something to eat before we continue.”

You have been so determined to try the spells you have completely forgot about food, your stomach quickly takes control of your mind as you shake your head in agreement.

You have never really been big for vegetables or fruit but since you have lived here you have found a new respect for them. Although going cold turkey REALLY sucks… you have cravings for meat all the time but after meeting Fluttershy you knew you would never be able to go and eat a rabbit or fish or any other kind of animal. You look across the table towards Twilight she is reading a book and hovering an apple close to her. You look down at the apple you grabbed off the plate in front of you look over it’s red skin twisting the apple in your hand as you do it. You find it funny how the first thing you gave to Twilight was an apple as you bit into the delicious apple you think about what is was like seeing a talking horse for the first time. You don’t know why you were so open minded about, you look back to Twilight as she continues reading the book you study her face and come to the conclusion it’s her big purple eyes that won you over and made you not feel so crazy.

Twilight looks up from her book and realizes you have been staring at her “Umm are you ok.”

You shrug, which in all honesty probably wasn’t the coolest thing you could have done. You then wonder to yourself why you care if that was cool or not.

Twilight puts the book down and start staring at you her big eyes start to make you smile “what’s so funny?” she ask.

You respond “Do you know how cute you look?”

She blushes at your comment

You quickly try to cover up what you said “Well you know I mean like do you know how umm like a puppy with umm.”

She giggles at your failed attempt at a cover up, before you try another attempt your saved by the sound of Spike sneezing.

Twilight looks towards the stairs “Spike, tell me you didn’t.”

“Um dose Owlicious molt around winter?”

“One minute.”

Twilight disappears in a flash of purple magic as she teleports up stairs.

There’s a knock at the door, at first you think you should call out to Twilight to answer but then you realize I’m an adult and I can handle opening a door. You walk over to the door and open it.

“Oh hey dude where’s Twilight?” Rainbow is dressed in a blue vest with the insigne of a cloud, “She’s up stairs, why you got that vest on.”

Rainbow look at her vest “Oh ya this stupid thing, the mayor thinks if we are put into team with team leaders that we can clean winter up faster.”

“Clean winter up?” you ask

“Oh ya you guys don’t have to do that where you’re from… well every year we pegasus move snow clouds down from the north over Ponyville and after the month is up we move them back.”

Wow I have been here a month, you stare into space thinks about that for a moment but no one simply ignore Rainbow Dash, she jabs at you “Hello you ok?”

“ya I’m fine.”

“Ya well where is Twilight we need her to oversee everything.”

You look up the stairs and call Twilights name. She poof next to you, “Hi Rainbow, what do you need?”

“Um hello Twilight Winter Wrap up? You didn’t forget did you?”

“Oh yes of course not.” She looks back to you “this usually takes a long time you should write a letter to the Princess on what you have learn so far.” She smiles at you as she walks back up stairs “let me get my vest Rainbow.”

You’re a little mad at her comment, writing? What happened to the Princess coming by and oh no need to write?

Rainbow laughs “Ha you have to do those things to?”

You nod.

“I hate those things, mainly because I hate writing but also because half the things I send her I already knew. What do you send something like, oh today I met Pinkie pie and she is crazy.”

She continues to laugh at her joke but you don’t join her mainly due to the fact those are pretty much the things you send her.

“What are you going to put this time huh something about vest on ponies?”

“Well I was but I guess that does sound dumb, I guess I’ll talk about sleeping with Twilight.”

Rainbow stops laughing and stares at you her tomboyish voice cracks when she speaks “What?!”

You look at her reaction her wings are spread out and she looks at you in confusion, it then dawns on you what you said, but come on that can’t mean the same thing here right? “What?” you say to her.

Rainbow blushes, its really noticeable on her cyan blue face “Well that’s not the kind of thing the Princess would probably want to know…you know?”

Yep it means the same thing, you try your luck at a cover up “oh no Rainbow not like that I mean she had to sleep in my bed because of Spike burning his on account of him being drunk.”

Rainbow puts her wings down and talks more normally now “Oh ya he was pretty drunk last night you know too much cider.”

First thought ha! Twilight it is alcohol, you nod your head at her comment and you both laugh a little.

Twilight finally comes down the stairs now “Ok Rainbow ready to go?”

Rainbow looks at Twilight “Sure but don’t you need to kiss your special somepony good bye?”

Twilight blushes and stammers with her words “Special somepony what, what are you talking about Rainbow?”

Rainbow nudges you and flies out of the doorway towards town, Twilight walks past you to follow her “Listen Spike is still a little… um”

“Hungover?”

Twilight gives in “sure, so be quiet if you try any magic nothing to big, I should be back before dark so that should be plenty of time to write to Celestia.”

You nod and wave goodbye as she starts down the road to Ponyville, your happy you get to close the door you don’t have shoes on and your feet feel like icicles as you walk on the wood of the house, note to self still fucking cold!

End of chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 (Nothing productive all day!)

You looked over some of Twilights books on magic but you found it more entertaining to clang pots and pans down stairs to hear Spike get mad.

You feel proud of yourself for making a dragon mad; as you put down your tools of mass enjoyment you find a book that strikes you as interesting.

The books name is magic for derpys; you open the book and read for a bit.

The book is pretty plain a few pictures of small ponies and examples of spells, most of the spells you would not dare try but you decide to try your wizard skills at some more levitation. You put the worthless book on the ground and try to levitate it begins to float up but falls back down, after a few more attempts you start to get angry, you thrust your hands up and the book burst into flames, HA i'm a fire bender! Next thought OH crap i'm in a tree! You stomp out the fire before it could make its way to the other books, you breath a sigh of relief at your accomplishment.

“Wow nice save.”

You look to Spike, how long he been there?

“Hey Spike feeling better?”

“No, and now I keep hearing metal being banged together… you think that’s bad?”

You smile at his comment, “No that means you're getting better, how was the party last night?”

“Oh it was a blast, Berry Punch brought this new cider and and Vinyl Scratch was there and she played all these really cool new sound and Noteworthy had some new songs, it was great!”

You nod “And Rarity?”

“Oh she went with some no name guy I think his name was Fancypants or something, ya he’s nobody so nothing to worry about.”

You nod, you have no idea who most of the ponies are he named but hearing that Rarity ended up not going with him was not a surprise.

Spike looks back to the charred book “What are you doing anyway?”

“I’m trying to learn some more magic.”

Spike looks at you with one eye cocked “Really?”

You shrug

“Ok I’ll help you; first thing first you have to call me Sir Spike.”

You nod

“Alright cool, now the first rule to magic is to keep a calm mind, if you think of something mid way through a spell it could really mess things up. So try and move a book while I distract you ok?”

“Sure Spike but how are you going to…”

Spike grabs the nearby pot and pan and starts clanging them together…god that’s annoying it almost makes you feel bad for doing it earlier…almost. You focus on the book and try to move it, nothing happens and the sound is starting to bug you so you try something different you turn to Spike and motion with your hands to stop, the pot and the pan are covered in a green magic and float from Spikes hands.

“wow nice.”

You smile at the floating metal and you try to bring them down, but that doesn’t work as you move your hands down the pot and pan go flying through the house and smash against the wall.

Spike looks to you “Maybe we should stop for now.”

You look at your hands “Hey Spike why was my magic green that time?”

“I don’t know maybe that was your natural magic.”

You look back at Spike he is putting on a coat and heading to the door “Where you going?”

Spike turns around “Oh Twilight wants me to ask Rarity for a new bed so I’m going to head over there, I would ask you to come but Twi says you have to write something.”

You wave goodbye to Spike as he walks out of the house, you decide you might as well try writing the letter now.

After a few hours of crumbling up papers and throwing them aside you give up, you slump back in the chair and rub your head trying to get an idea on what the Princess would like to hear. Your drawing blanks, it makes no sense why she needs reports on the powers on friendship why doesn't she just go and get friends herself.

you look back at the quill in your hand and decided to try using magic to write like Twilight does, you watch as the quill is coated in the purple magic, you're surprised you don’t even have to move your hands, you stare at the quill floating in front of you. You dip the quill into the ink and bring it to the paper you start the letter, you have the biggest smile on your face as you watch the words print on the page.

It takes about a few hours to write, mainly because you don’t know what more to say other than that you are now better at levitating books. You only stop writing to eat lunch and help Spike put his new bed in his room. You find it funny how his bed looks like a cat bed, but you have to keep reminding yourself to get this letter done before your mind drifts into it’s usually nonsense. you're about halfway done with your letter when Twilight comes in “I see you’ve be busy.”

You smile, “Ya and I may have burned a book sooo ya...”

Twilight looks mad but she does her best to hide to “Oh well um thats fine, next time you will be more careful right?”

you nod, but you say to yourself nope i'm a fire bender I love to burn stuff.

Twilight walks into another room and calls out to you “Let me go change and after dinner we’ll work on a few spells if you're up to it.”

You think to yourself dinner? what time is it, you look out the window and notice the sun is starting to set, your logical side of your brain tells you it was just noon like an hour ago but your new pony side of your brain reminds you Celestia controls the sun and this must be like daylight savings or something. The timing is the one thing you haven’t got use to here, you can deal with Pinkie doing back flips even though she is a horse but the way days seem to just fly by has not settled in yet.

Twilight comes back into the room and notices your in deep thought, “What are you thinking about? is it your dream? Did it come back?”

You haven't had the dream shes talking about in a few days and you had almost forgot about it, you find it strange how the dream lingered in your mind for weeks and then just vanished. The mentioning of the dream reminds you how terribly it was and you quickly try blocking it out. “No Twilight I was just wondering why the sun was setting so fast.”

Twilight puts her hoof to her chest as she scientifically explains it “The grow season is going to start soon so the sun needs to set so that the water from the melted snow can seep into the ground that way there will be enough water in the water table for growing.”

you think about it for a moment “SO because Celestia wants it to be hu?”

Twilight puts her hoof down and mockingly puts her head forward as she replies “NO, because it’s good for farming.”

You copy her head gesture “soooo because Celestia wants it to be right?”

Twilight looks at you for a moment, you grin at her, “i’m not going to win this am I?”

You smile bigger “Cider.”

Twilight lets out an annoyed “UGH.” you chuckle at her facial expression.

you then look at her seriously “No I mean I want cider.”

Twilight laughs at you “You have never even had any you wouldn't like it. It’s too strong for humans”

To strong? “Twilight you must not know I can drink.”

“Oh ya? Well the human metabolism can’t process food or drink as fast as a pony, so yes it would be too strong for you.”

“How would you know that i’m the first human you have ever met? and i never told you that.”

“Yes thats true, but I looked up humans and ponies on your magic book when I was on your world. OH! can you make a magic book here!?”

Her eyes sparkle at what she just said and she eagerly waits for your response “No, the computer and internet are two things I don’t know how to make.”

her ears flop down at what you said, “So cider?”

Twilight exhales loudly “Fine but i'm not carrying you up to your bed, you're too heavy to move with my magic.”

You watch as she leaves the room.

She returns a few minutes later floating a few mug of what you guess is cider, “Seeing as how this has nothing to do with magic you only get to drink when you correctly perform a spell, and if you don't perform it well I drink your cider.”

You nod and try to pull the cider from her magical grasp, you focus on the mug and a green film coats the mug as it breaks from her grasp. You smile as you take your first sip...first thought WOW this taste like crap, the sweetness of the drink stings your tongue and you drop the mug.

Twilight laughs at you “See told you you wouldn’t like it.”

your clothes are damp from the cider, you don’t want one of your only shirts to smell like cider so you decided to take it off.

Twilight stops laughing and stares at you, “what are you doing?”

You look at her as you take it off “This stuff smells and I don’t want to smell like it.”

Twilight stumbles at her words as she talks “Um ok well, uhh oh try and teleport this mug to the table.”

you look to her mug and then back to the table, you focus your mind on the sight of the mug on the table, the mug gets a light purple shimmer on it and it fades out of sight and then appears on the table.

Twilight claps her hoofs happily. “Good, I’ll be back with more.” she leaves the room again as you try to move the mug to your face, not moving your hands to grab things is hard mentally but your happy on account of how lazy you feel. The mug gets a green glow and bust it to flames. your pleasantly shocked at what happened you laugh at the cider as the mug starts to melt and the cider catches fire.

Twilight returns to the room and yells “Ah! fire!” she runs over to the fiery cup and tried blowing it out, she then covers it in a purple magic. When the fire is subsided she looks at you “Fire is not good that means your magic is uncontrolled.”

you nod your head at her as she floats a new mug over to you.

“Now try and poor the mug into your mouth, you look at the mug as it gets a green tent over it you tilt it to you, just as you do that the cider comes flying out at you and drenches your face.

Twilight again laughs at your failed attempt.

this is going to be a long night, you say to yourself.

After a few hours of fails and successes you notice Twilight acting weird,

“And Rarity thinks she is (hiccup) that she is um the um what are we talking about again.”

You laugh as you remind her “Rarity.”

“Oh ya she is the reason there's no decent stallions in Ponyville.”

you continue to laugh at Twilight and think ha! shes drunk.

Twilight looks into her mug and drops it on the ground “I’m out... that's 15 for me and 2 for you I win.”
her head falls and hit the table and she lets out a low “ ouch.”

you look at her as she closes her eyes, you know that look its the same look you got at your first college party, you walk over to Twilight and scoop her up into your arms, you start walking up the stairs towards her room. As you near her room you look in and see Spike sleeping in her bed...nice Spike now i have to go back down stairs. you turn to exit the doorway and you accidently bang Twilight’s head on to the frame, she lets out another ouch but this time a little louder, you whisper to hear “It’s just a dream Twilight.” You look back down the stairs and decided its too far of a walk, so you turn to your room and walk inside. You gently place her on the bed and move some of her hairs out of her face. As you get ready to leave the room you hear her voice “Don’t go...your warm just come sleep in here.”

You look back down the stairs and then turn around, you crawl into the other side of the bed and start to get comfortable. Twilight gets closer to you and falls asleep after saying goodnight, you look at her in the moonlight as she starts to sleep.

End of chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 (peace and quiet)

You awake to the sound of giggling at the door way, you slowly open your eyes and see Spike and Rainbow Dash trying to hold back laughs.

You look down towards your shirtless chest where Twilight’s head rest, “Hey Twilight are you comfortable?” Rainbow now bust into a full laugh as Twilight's eyes fly open “Rainbow!”

Twilight jerks her head up and stares at them as they laugh, Twilight tries to explain “No Rainbow last night we were trying some new things... but then the cider and i … um this … its not..”

Rainbow counties to laugh “ha ha ha ya you never could handle cider.”

Twilight appears behind them in a flash of light “NOT funny Rainbow, anyways why are you here?”

Rainbow stops laughing and talks in her normal tomboyish voice “Well I came by to tell you that i’m going to the wonderbolts show and wanted to know if you two wanted to come with me, I got a few tickets from Thunder lane and I figured you know he has never seen the most awesome ponies in all of Equestrian... well besides me of course.” she blows a part of her hair out of her face as she brags.

Twilight taps her goof to her mouth “You know that sounds like a good idea Rainbow.” she looks to you “You haven’t seen the show this would be a great adventure for you.”

you nod your head at her comment.

“Great get dressed and lets get ready to go.”

Rainbow looks back to you “Ya get dressed bud I don’t want to be seen walking around with some hairless pony...um human.”

You wait until they're out of the doorway to get out of bed, you wonder to yourself what they think happened you look down at your open chest... who is she calling hairless?

After a few minutes you meet Rainbow and Twilight down stairs.

Spike is jumping around a bit “Oh oh Twi can I go can I?”

Twilight looks down to Spike “Oh Spike you know you're too young for the show.”

Spike looks down to the ground “Oh ya, well don’t worry about the house I got it under control.”

“Oh my gosh can we got yet?” Rainbow trots around the door huffing and puffing

“yes, Rainbow lets go.”

“Ugh you guys are slow I’ll meet you guys at the track, her take the tickets.” She hand you both a ticket and then zips out of the door.

You look a the the ticket, its a small blue piece of paper that says 1 pony admissions, you smile at the ticket, note to self if they say i’m not a pony well then they are just naysayers. You think over the joke you just told yourself wow that was really bad.

You think about this as you leave the house and start down the path to the track. Did I really just make a pony pun?

You arrive at the track, you have been here before when you went to go see Rainbow perform some tricks but it didn't look like this. The whole area around the track is covered with tents and what looks like carnival rides. You see all kinds of ponies here small, tall, fat, skinny, black, red, yellow, green, some color in between gold and grey.

You follow Twilight to a booth

theres a big buff yellow unicorn with a striped shirt on in the booth “Ticket please.” his voice reminds you of a body builders. Twilight floats the tickets into the stallions hoof. He eyeballs you a he talks “No fighting, no cider and no jumping onto the tracks or we are going to have a problem.”

You feel a little defective at him staring at you, obviously he doesn't know you're a firebending alien wizard with an awesome beard who has seen way too many Chuck Norris movies.

You nod your head at his statement and follow Twilight into the gate the separates the rest of the field.

“This is going to be so exciting, the last time I saw a pegasus show Rarity almost fell to her death.”

The comment strikes you as odd but you don’t question it. You're too busy looking at all the ponies different kind of ponies, you wonder what they think of you, you're the tallest pony...person here but no one seems to notice you. Twilight looks up at you “Wait here i’m going to go find Rainbow.” before you can say what she flashes away in a purple light.

You look around at all the ponies that pass you, none of them look familiar and most of them glance away when you look at them. You feel awkward having all this ponies walking past you only looking at you with the corner of their eyes.

There is however one pony that keeps staring at you, the pony is short compared to the other ponies and looks kind of like a really pissed of garden gnome, compared to all the others ponies he looks dull his hair is coal black and his grey coat makes him look like really unfriendly. The one thing you are drawn to are the bottoms of his hooves and his eyes, the eyes are bright green and his hooves are completely white.

You both stare at eachother for a few moments until the pony starts walking towards you. For some reason you feel like he is going to walk over and just punch...or hoof you in your stomach for being so tall, as he gets closer you bend your neck down to look at him.

“HI?”

The pony looks up at you. “How tall are you?”

The really deep voice from the small stallion strikes you as odd and you blankly stare at the pony.

“Hey buddy? How tall are you?”

You continue to stare

He waves his hoof in front of your face “Are you dumb? Can you not talk?”

“Why do you need to know?”

The pony exhales loudly “Because I the mortician and I need to know how tall you are.”

You laugh a little at him and think this short guy is a mortician? “Sorry um...”

“Tombstone.”

“Sorry Tombstone I don’t know my exact high.”

The pony lets out a sigh and walked away mumbling something to himself. You watch as he walks away. You think to yourself wow the first conversation with some pony I don’t know today was about death? Today is going to be a good day.

You feel a tug on your shirt and you turn around, its Twilight...how long you been here you think.

“You ready to watch the show Rainbow has seats right in front.”

you nod.

“Good then grab my hoof and I’ll teleport us.”

You're a little reluctant to take the offer of teleporting, mainly due to the fact the last you were teleported you had your brain basically eaten by Queen Chrysalis, just the thought of her bug like body makes you head hurt. After clearing your mind of the ugly bug queen you grab Twilights hoof and flash into a stand in front of the track, Rainbow is next to you flying in loops above her seat.

“Can you believe it! There going to have 5 races!!!” her tough tomboyish voice has been changed to a typical fan girl as she screams the names of the ponies as they enter the track.

Rainbow shakes your body with her hoofs as she frantically tells you the names of each pony “Thats Fleetfoot and Wave Chill and Blaze and Fire Streak and Soarin and Rapidfire.” she lets out a high pitched squeal “And Spitfire and High winds everypony is here!”

When she is finally done shaking you, you're finally able to watch the race. You watch as the pegasus start darting through and around cloud obstacles, it looks like NASCAR just without the loud rumble of an engine. You watch as the first pony dashes past the finish line, you causally let out a cheer “YAY it’s over!”

Rainbow lets out a laugh “You're funny Blaze would never win, you know theres 300 laps.”

You happy smile fades from your face...300 laps times 5 races equals 1,500...the number rings in your head. You look to Twilight she is reading a book “Um Twilight how long does this last?”
Twilight looks up from her book “hmmm about all day.”

You slump back onto the seat, great its NASCAR with no crashes, Twilight leans over to you “I always bring a second book.” she floats over a book to you and you read the title “magic for derpys.”

You look to Twilight “Thanks”

You look at the race it just finished the second lap...this is going to be a long day.

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 (After parties are fun)

Your ordeal is finally over as the sun starts to set, you and Twilight are anxiously waiting to get inside but you both try to show common courtesy to Rainbow Dash as she talks.

“Did you see the loop Spitfire did that was sooooo cool I didn't even know a pony could go that fast. OH and have you seen my signed poster!” she flaps her new poster in front of you and Twilight.

“Yes Rainbow, we were there when you got it.” Twilight’s voice carries a hint of annoyance.

Rainbow rolls her poster up “Your just jealous that Soarin said hi to me.”
you cut in “Rainbow I don’t think flying onto the track and running into him is the same thing as him saying hi.”

Rainbow taps her hoof to her face “Well somepony had to congratulate him on his win!”

You and Twilight both laugh at her comment, you near the door to the house just as the sunsets. As you reach for the door Rainbow cuts in front of you “Oh come on why are you guys going home? the after race party is about to start I thought we were going to sugercube corner to get something to eat then go back?”

Twilight speaks up for the both of you “Oh Rainbow we grateful that you brought us along, but I don’t think we want to stay out all night, Celestia said she would stop by in a few days and who know she could be here tomorrow. So it’s best if we get a good night sleep.”

“Wow lame, oh well suit yourselves, I’m going to go have fun.”

She flys off in the direction you just came from, you look at Twilight “Are they going to let her in?”

Twilight is quick to respond “No, she's banned from the area for jumping onto the track but Rainbow will find away in.”

You enter the house with Twilight laughing at the thought of Rainbow realizing she's banned from the track.

“Finally you guys are back.” Spike is standing at the bottom of the stairs and he looks mad. You notice he has a bright pink apron on.

“Nice apron Spike.”

Spike looks down at his apron “Thank you.”

Note to self sound more sarcastic next time, “Why are you wearing that?”

Spike gets his upset expression back “I made lunch for you two because I thought you would be back but NO you two stayed out like all day.”

Twilight responds “Sorry Spike but you know Rainbow stays for every race.”

“Well i’m not making anything else I have a date with Rarity.”

You both look to each other and then back to Spike “A date?”
Spike hold his head up high as he takes his apron off “Yep she said she needs a sitter for Sweetie belle and then she can go on the date, so I have been looking all over for someone to watch Sweetie and I got Time Turner to fillysit.”

Twilight giggled a bit “Are you sure you're not the sitter?”

Spike fumbles with his words “No...wait...ugh!!! Thats why she said Fancypants.”

“Are you still goin?” Twilight asks

Spike huffs “I already said yes... ugh I hate spending time with Sweetie she always makes me play dress up. Hey Twilight you think you could...”

“Spike i’m not going to help you lie just accept what you have agreed with.”

“Oh come on Twilight please?” Spike looks up at Twilight so innocently, you would find it cute but the fangs kill it for you.

“Ok Spike you can stay if you let us do practice spells on you.”

Spike looks to you “Ya no thanks I would rather play dress up then be turned into a pile of ash. I guess I should leave now.”

You both say goodbye to Spike as he leaves. Twilight turns to you as the door closes “Ok you ready to start?”

You're not really feeling up to doing anything you would rather just sleep after the long day of setting on a hard surface but you nod anyway.

“Ok lets start you off on something easy.” she looks around the room, you think to yourself god if i have to levitate one more book I am going to burn everything.

“Ah here we go try teleporting me across the room.” She smiles and waits for your respond

You're baffled at how much she trust you “Are you sure? Can I start on something else as a warm up?”

“No, now come on picture me somewhere in the room and try.”

“No Twilight I will not try my first teleportation spell on you.” you cross your arm.

“Fine try on this book first.” She floats the book you read at the race over to you. You look at the book and try to picture it on the table, a green glow shines around the book as you focus more on the book it burst into flames. You drop your concentration and if falls to the ground.

Twilight puts a purple bubble around it and it disappears. “Ok maybe you're right, but you're still going try me.”

“No way not after destroying a book!” You shout back to her.

Twilight is taken back by your voice “Why are you so against trying it?”

“Twilight i’m not going to try something that might hurt you.”

Twilights ears flop down and she blushes a bit “Thats sweet.”

You feel proud of telling her no and you give a happy smile.

“But thats no excuse, now try the spell.”

And now my happy smile is gone, you stare at her “I would never forgive myself if I hurt you.”

Twilight remarks in a mocking tone “Well then smarty pants don’t mess up, now do it.”

You look at her for a moment and swallow hard, ok you hate me and I love fire but this is Twilight so don’t fail me, you push all thoughts aside and focus on Twilight. A purple aura surrounds her, she closes her eyes “Don’t worry I completely trust you.” You focus on just moving her across the room but your concentration is broke at the thought of her being hurt, the purple field around her starts to turn green, you bite your lip hard and motion with your hands away from Twilight, the bookshelves that were in your path spit books onto the floor and everything else in the path of your hands is either overturned or throw across the room.

Twilight looks around the room and starts to clap her hooves “Good, you were able to control your magic!”

You're in raged at her comment “Control! I could have hurt you Twilight!”

You start up the stair behind her.

Twilight call out to you “Where are you going? you need to practice Celestia could be here tomorrow.”

You don’t bother to turn around you continue up the stairs to your room and decide to lay in bed.

End of chapter 5

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 (No magic without friend)

You lay in your bed for a few hours in silence. Your mind tells you that you should tried the spell, but your heart tells you good job bro, you don’t know why your mind has been fighting you lately,damn you brain!

You start to hear the sound of Twilights hooves on the wood, you listen as the clop clop of her hooves nears your door. You close your eyes hoping that she will get bored and go away, doesn't work, you listen as she talks.

“I’m sorry I asked you to do something you weren't comfortable doing, are you mad?”

You roll over to look at her, her ears are down and her eyes look water in the dimly lit room...how can I stay mad at her she has the cheat codes to my heart...damn you video games. “I’m not mad Twilight.”

Twilight’s ears perk up “Good then lets continue practicing.

You roll back over, note to self stay mad.

“Ok ok bad joke I wasn't serious.” Twilight nears the bedside behind you.

“I’m tired too I think we’ll just try it tomorrow.” She climbs into the bed behind you

“Goodnight!”

You lay there thinking to yourself, Oh so you think you can just sleep anyway now huh Mrs. Sparkles?

You roll over to her and start rubbing her ears, she lets out her low pitched squeal as you continue, “I thought you were tired.”

“I thought you had a bed.” You continue your assault on her ears as you work your way to her neck. You gentle rub her neck, she closes her eyes as you continue down her body. Her fur feels warm on your hand as you caress her coat, you move your other hand from her ear to the base of her horn and start working the sides of her horn, you're surprised at the warmth from her horn. As you continue to rub her horn your other hand has made it to her belly, you rub her stomach in a slow circular motion. She whimpers out a few broken words “Oh Celestia....” She bite at her bottom lip as you continue she starts to kick her legs a bit. You laugh a bit at how she is reacting, you continue a few more minutes until she stops twitching her legs, she still has her eyes close as you go back to rubbing her ears and head. You slowly stop and just lay next to her, she opens her eyes and looks at you “Why did you stop?” You lean forward and give a little kiss “My arms hurt and you said we need to sleep for in cause Celestia comes tomorrow.” You roll over onto your side and again have to fight your body to not turn around, your body is calmed a bit when you feel her hoof droop over your side. You sigh and close your eyes and think about what tomorrow what might bring.

Maybe is all...
