Chapter 1

Maybe what's needed is us

Chapter 1 – Maybe for the….

You give a nice yawn as you stretch your front hooves in front of your face. You hold the stretch as you look over your fur and think, this definitely beats being a stone. You lick your lips as you think this. You yawn again as you put your hooves to your side and stare at the ceiling, you have finally had a decent night sleep with no messed up dreams of being a statue and you didn’t have to be woken up by the sun piercing your eyes. You whisper to yourself as you exhale, “Finally.”

You hear a faint yawn next to you.

You turn your head to face Twilight; you smile with a sense of joy as you watch her start to stir. Her head that still rest on the pillow next to starts to move as her eyes slowly creep open.

Your smile widens as she sleepily looks at you, “good morning.”

She stares back to you with relaxed expression. She closes her eyes and gives a sigh.

You turn your head back to the ceiling as you think, going back to sleep? Fine with me. You start to shift your head back onto the pillow, but you're sought out comfort doesn’t come as the bed next to you starts up.

You quickly move your head to Twilight as she sits up in the bed, your voice is now groggy as you talk, “You ok?”

She holds her hoof to her mouth as she shakes her head, her face which was a few moments ago a clam sleepy expression is now wide eyed and now a darker lavender. She springs from the bed and gallops into the bathroom with the door slamming behind her.
You watch a little confused as she does this. You give deep sigh as you get up from the bed and plate your hooves on the cold stone floor, “Are you ok?”

You hear her muffled voice from behind the door, “…I’m fine Celestia said this might happen.”

You’re confused and slightly annoyed feelings are quickly changed as you think about what she said. Celestia said a side effect from new magic could be sickness, but you don’t understand how it could still affect her after three days.

You call back to the door with a conserved tone, “Do…do you want me to get her?”

Again her muffled voice calls back, “Not this early?! No ponies even up.”

You your thoughts are a little uneasy as you stand outside of the door, you don’t like seeing Twilight sick and it pisses you off that she’s sick because she saved your life. You again call back to her but this time with a guilted tone, “Are you sure you don’t want me to get her?”
She doesn’t reply to you this time.

You stare at the wooden door a little uneasy, “Twilight?”

“I’m fine.”

You roll your eyes as you sit back on the bed and anxiously stare at the door.

Your thoughts are sidetracked before they start by the sound of knocking at the bedroom door.

“Helloooooo, are you two up?”

You know from the voice that it’s Rarity.

You walk to the door and open it, “Hi.”

Rarity takes her hoof back from the door as she looks at you, Rainbow hovers above her and you think Fluttershy is behind them.

“Goo..-“ Rainbow is interrupted as Rarity stops looking you over.

“Ugh, have you not left the castle the past three days?”

You think about her comment, left? Ya leave the castle when books and statues have it out for me. You give her a nod as a respond.

Rarity fluffs her overhanging mane as she criticizes you, “I don’t know how you haven’t left.”

Rainbow laughs at you, “Really?”

You stare at her surprised at her laugh; she should know you haven’t left she stops by the room almost every few hours.

Rarity continues talk through Rainbows laughing, “Honestly after I got out of that dreadful stone.” She pauses for a minute as she looks at her hoof, “I just HAD to go to the spa.”

You stare unamused at her comment.

Rainbow stops laughing as she agrees with Rarity, “YA, I could not stand that thing! I did like fifty laps around the castle when I got out of it.”

You understand that they are used to these kinds of things but you still don’t understand how they are so calm about it. “How are you guys so…calm?”
Rarity and Rainbow exchange looks.

A faint voice calls out from behind them, “Um…I’m not calm.”

You look past Rarity and Rainbow, “Thank you Fluttershy.”

She gives you a half smile as she then buries herself behind her friends, still the same Fluttershy even when you are a pony.

Rarity now pokes her head into the room, “where is Twilight?”

You motion with your head to the bathroom. In an instant the three ponies rush past you to the door.

“Are you ok darling?” Rarity knocks at the door to the bathroom.

“Yes, I’m fine…why are you up so early?”

Rainbow laughs as she calls to Twilight, “Early? It’s like mid-day, easily.”

Twilight calls back in a shocked tone, “What!?”

Rarity hushes Rainbow as she talks, “Yes, well we are off to the train station, care to come see us off?”

“Sorry Rarity, but the Princess wants me to help with sending Discord away today.”

As the name passes through the door everyone shifts a little where they stand.

Rarity looks a little disappointed as she looks back to you, “Well come along then.”

You look at her in confusion, “what?”

Rainbow answers for Rarity in an annoyed mocking voice, “Ms. Fancy could not pack light, and with all the useless junk she bought her bags are too heavy for Spike and…”

Rarity cuts her off with a girly high pitched gash, “Useless junk?! I have you know Rainbow that you can’t get anything but the highest of quality soaps here in Canterlot. “

Rainbow mocks her voice, “Highest quality soaps.”

Rarity doesn’t seem amused as she counties, “…You should had bought some Rainbow, I am not letting you have any this time.”
Rainbow’s mocking tone falters as she blushes a little, “I never used that stuff.”

Rarity trots to the door as she talks, “You said you needed it for somepony so ha.” Rarity notices that you did not follow them out of the room and pokes her head back in, “Coming?”

You nod your head as you follow her out. You silently think to yourself, great I just got roped into manually labor.
