                                                                 Chapter 12: It’s all in the Technique

I woke up at the rooster’s crow, same time as usual. At this point, I think I may miss the annoying droning of an alarm clock. I quietly shook Fluttershy and then whispered into her ears.

“Good morning Fluttershy. I have to get up, I’m going over to Twilight’s place today.” I whispered to her. She rolled over and smiled at me.

“Okay Dako. Be safe.” She said to me. Then I pulled back the blankets and got out of bed.

“Dako?” she said. “What are you going to do?” she asked.

“I’m going to ask Twilight if she can teach me how to teleport.” I told her.

“But, you don’t have magic, you’re not a unicorn. How could you teleport?” she asked.

“Well, let’s say that I’ve seen it done before.” I said to her as I stepped into my suit.

“Okay, well, be careful.” She told me.

I smiled back at her and said, “Always”.

After I got dressed I headed downstairs to get something to eat. I was getting tired of eating boiled eggs, so I made the biggest sandwich that two slices of bread would allow. I used some cheese, pickles, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, and onion. The only thing I was missing now was the meat, oh well, this was as good as it would ever get. After eating, then making two more sandwiches and eating those, I was ready to go. I yelled upstairs and told Fluttershy I was leaving and that I would be back soon, and then I left.

I gently floated off of the ground and into the air until I was about 100 feet in the air. I looked all around me in all directions. Clear skies for as far as the eye could see. I slowly took off, flying slowly at first, lazily. I was drifting through the sky at about 20 miles per hour. Then I went full throttle, I took off in a burst of speed as I accelerated to top speed. The wind was incredible, and after I short while I broke the sound barrier. At this speed I actually flew right over and past Twilight’s place at the library. I stopped as suddenly as I could, then turned around, flying much slower than before. I floated down to the front door and knocked. Spike answered the door and was surprised at my new outfit.

“Whoa! Where did you get that from? It looks awesome!” Spike said.

“Rarity made it for me. Thanks, I think it’s awesome too.” I said to Spike.

I walked in and looked around, but I didn’t see Twilight anywhere.

“Uh, is Twilight here?” I asked spike.

“Yeah, she’s upstairs, reading her books.” He said flatly.

“Oh, cool.” I said before floating up to the second floor.

There she was, lying on her bed reading a book, with stacks of other books surrounding her.

“Hi there Twilight.” I said to her. She looked up from her book.

“Oh, hi Dako.” Then she tilted her headed a little in confusion. “Uh, what are standing on?” she asked me.

“Nothing. Just floatin’.” I said. “I was wondering, could you teach me how to teleport?” I asked her.

“Teleport? But you’re not a unicorn, you’re not even a pony. How do you expect to teleport?” She asked me.

“Well, I’ve heard of something called the “Instant Transmission” technique. I’ve tried to learn it forever, but I can’t quite get it down. If I understood how you teleport, then maybe I could learn how too.” I explained to her.

“I see. But I can teleport using magic, so it won’t be the same, and magic works differently, it almost defies conventional science and the laws of physics. If you really want to learn I have a few books for you to read.” She said.

“Right, I can read some books. That’s fine. But can you tell me, what exactly do you do to teleport, what do you think, or feel?” I asked.

“Well the first thing is focus, you need good concentration.” She said.

“Right, focus.” I said, then I tried making some serious face. Twilight laughed.

“What are you doing?” she said.

“Uh, focusing?” I said.

“Okay, next I think of a place I want to go to. Somewhere near or far.” She said.

“Right, a place.” I said, as I thought of the mountain where we found the Senzu beans.

“Now, imagine going to that place, the feeling of escape.” She said.

“Right. Escape.” I said to myself.

“Then that’s when I use my magic to make it happen.” She said smiling.

“Aw, why can’t I do it? I must be doing something wrong. I know it can be done without magic.” I said disappointed.

“Well, I still have those books.” Twilight said.

“Cool, let me see one.” I said glumly, sitting down on her bed.

I has handed a huge book, like two feet wide by three feet tall, and it was heavy. The cover read, “Advanced Level Magic Spells” I may not know any magic, or lack the ability to use it, but at least I might learn how to do the Instant Transmission. I began reading the table of contents, looking for something on teleportation. I finally found it on Chapter 42, page 2468! I read the entire chapter, which was full of long historic notes on who first found out how to teleport, and when, and why. I read everything in the chapter barely even once, I was starting to fall asleep. I always had trouble in school reading things, I would always fall asleep when reading anything. But if I got more sleep, and went to bed instead of sneak off and out of the foster home to fly around Austin, then maybe I wouldn’t fall asleep. Yeah, that probably had a lot to do with it.

“Twilight, I think I’ve finished the chapter in this book, are there any others?” I asked while yawning.

“Finished? Just now? How long did it take you?” she shouted up from downstairs.

I looked around confused. I hadn’t realized I fell asleep, I thought I fought it off.

“Sorry, I guess I fell asleep while reading.” I yelled down.

Suddenly Twilight teleported up in front of me, blowing around papers and scrolls.

“So, can you do this yet?” she asked me while smiling.

“No, I don’t think so.” I said, while trying to teleport back up to the mountain.

“Well, there are four more books, if you’re still interested.” She said.

“I don’t know Twilight, I don’t think books like me, they keep putting me to sleep.” I said tired. Twilight laughed a little.

“Okay, well if you remember hearing about this teleportation-without-magic thing, do you remember how it was supposed to work?” she asked me.

“Well I thi- wait a minute. I remember now. I shouldn’t think of a place, or of escape, or going there. I have to think of a person, I have to focus on their energy.” I said with realization.

“There you go!” Twilight exclaimed happily.

Then I jumped up from her bed and got into my stance. I put my index finger and middle finger to my forehead, and began searching for someone’s energy.

“Oh, wait. I don’t know how to sense energy. Crap!” I said disappointed again.

“Well, how do you think that can be done?” Twilight asked me.

“Hm. You know, it actually shouldn’t be hard, it’ll just take a ton of concentration and focus.” I said. Really all I’d have to do is shut everything out of my mind, and sense beyond my five senses where everyone is in the room. I would have to turn on a sixth sense.

So I sat back down and focused hard. I closed my eyes in concentration, and I let everything around me slip into the darkness that engulfed my mind. I started to feel something. It was like a small feeling of warmth, and cool in front of me, and I little ways of to my left and below. The feeling also felt a little like a gentle whisper of breeze that radiated outward. There were so many feelings in one. There was one in particular that felt like a pulsating heat lamp that stayed in perfect rhythm, like a heartbeat. When I reached out in the pulsation’s direction I felt my hand hit something, then it felt 10 times stronger. My eyes shot open, and I saw that my hand was on Twilight’s chest. She looked at me confused.

“So, did you figure it out, or what?” she asked me still confused.

“Yeah, I could sense your heartbeat.” I said in awe silently.

“Good, does this mean you can stop touching me now?” she asked jokingly.

“Yeah.” I said still in awe, as I slowly lowered my hand.

“Twilight, it was amazing. I could feel the presence, energy, and life of you and Spike. I can sense energy and more.” I told her smiling with accomplishment.

I stood up from her bed again, but slower this time. I got back into my stance, putting my index finger and middle finger to my forehead. I began searching for energies all over Ponyville. I had someone in mind in particular. I was looking for Pinkie Pie, which wasn’t hard at all, considering the amount of energy she has. Then everything around me felt all tingly like my entire body was numb or something.

“Well Twilight, thanks for all the help.” I said smiling. “I’ll be back in just a couple of seconds.” Then there was a whooshing sound as everything around me disappeared in a blur. As quickly as it all happened a new scene appeared in front of me, I was inside the bakery. I saw Pinkie Pie standing behind the counter, filling the glass display cases with fresh baked cakes, pies, cupcakes, and other pastries.

“Dako, what are you doing here? I didn’t even hear the door.” Pinkie Pie asked me cheerfully.

“I just learned a new technique with Twilight.” I said with pride.

“So what are you doing?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Just testing it out.” I said. “So… Taking some cupcakes pay you later!” I yelled out before teleporting back Twilight’s place.

The room blurred into sight as I reappeared in Twilight’s bedroom. I heard her gasp behind me. I turned around to see her on her bed reading again.

“Well, I’m back. Wait, I was gone for literally 20 seconds and you’re already reading again?” I asked her smiling.

“What’s wrong with that?” she asked.

“Nothing.” I said laughing. “You know, since I can’t use the Instant transmission to go to a place, I can use the locations of other pony’s energies, and transport myself between them.”

“Uh, I guess. I can go anywhere I want with my magic, I don’t need to find the location of somepony.” Twilight said.

“Lucky, everything I do is more difficult, or requires strategy. Oh well, if a GPS can use three or more satellites to find a location, then I can use three or more ponies to find a location too.” I said.

“Uh, okay, you lost me Dako. What is a GPS?” she asked confused.

“I’ll explain what it is later, it just stands for global positioning system.” I said quickly.

“Oh, okay. Where are you going anyway?” she asked.

“Back to the mountain, I want to make sure I have plenty of Senzu beans.” I said.

I sensed out the energy of anyone close to the mountain. I found the energy of Zecora. She was the only one around, which sucked, but at least I could control just how far away I appeared from someone. There would be only one way to find out.

“Well, here I go.” I said waving to Twilight.

I teleported out of Twilight’s house and over the Everfree forest in mid-air, at least it shouldn’t take me two days to get to the mountain now, and since I was alone I could fly. I looked around, and saw the mountain behind me about 10 miles away.

“Damn it! I teleported far away from Zecora alright, far up in the sky!” I shouted to myself.

It didn’t matter, I was incredibly fast now, flying to it would take a minute or two. I turned toward the mountain and took off at full speed. At the rate I was flying it only took me about 25 seconds to get to the mountain top. I dropped down and landed in the middle of the bean patch. I grabbed as many as I could fit into the pockets of my suit, I grabbed about 50 Senzu beans. I wanted to make damn sure that I would never run out at the worst possible time. After I loaded up my Senzu beans I searched for Fluttershy’s energy, just like I thought it was a small one. Once I found her energy I teleported right outside of Fluttershy’s cottage. I floated down to the ground and walked inside. I saw Fluttershy napping on her couch again.

“Hey cutie.” I whispered to Fluttershy. “I’m home now. How was your day?” I asked her.

“Hello Dako.” She said while yawning. “My day was fine. How was yours?” she asked.

“Great, I learned how to teleport, it’s kinda like Twilight’s technique, except without magic. It’s called the Instant Transmission.” I explained.

“Teleportation, you can teleport now?” She asked me.

“Yup, that’s how I got here.” I said smiling proudly. “Well it’s getting late, you wanna go to bed?” I asked.

“Sure, you go ahead, I’ll be right up.” She said.

I walked upstairs and began getting undressed. I folded my clothes and set them near the bed, then I took off my boots and set them near my clothes. I pulled the blankets back and got into bed. Five minutes later Fluttershy came into the room and joined me in bed. This time I had my arms out so I could grab her in a hug.

“Come here you adorable little pony.” I said smiling affectionately.

She hovered down into bed and into my arms. We pulled each other close as we began to cuddle with each other. I wasn’t tired or sleepy until I felt her warmth. Her cute, soft, warm, cuddly, body against mine, I could not be happier at all. I closed my eyes as I held her tight to me, my left arm around her back, my right hand around and on her flanks, holding her close to me.

“Good night Fluttershy. I love you.” I said to her.

“Good night Dako. I love you too.” She replied, just before we both fell asleep.
