2 - Magic means learning

"Hello!" Tom says cheerfully to his colleagues greeting them.

"Where have you been yesterday?" a tall men in a black suit ask firmly as he almost bumps into him.

"I-eh,I was sick." he says lying but keeping the cover he promised to the princesses.

"Get back to work." his boss commands in the same monotone voice he always has, well except for the time he drunk to much whisky and was talking claptrap the rest of the day.

"O-Okay, I-I'll do that, mister Harvey" he says a little scared. Mister Harvey smiles and then walks back to his office, where he usually does nothing but observe Tom and his coworkers.

"You weren't sick, weren't you?" Hilda, the only female employee in the room asks.

"Well, I wasn't feeling good when I woke up and after that I had a headache" he says lying again 'she doesn't need to know' he thinks in his head as he starts working.

The rest of the day nothing special happened, aside when the secretary got fired during lunch, again! Mister Harvey had the bad habit to fire the secretary's as fast as possible. This one did last pretty long, 2 and a half day to be exact, the others usually got fired the day they were employed.

Back to the point, nothing special happened and he got home safe and sound.

"Well, another boring day of work done." he says while seating in the couch and lounging for a few minutes. He then goes to the kitchen, makes a simple meal and eating it upright. He washes the dishes, takes a shower and decides to go to bed a little early today so he has some more time to learn how to use magic tonight.

"Brrr, I should really call the plumber to fix that busted boiler, it's starting to annoy me, those freezing cold showers. Well, next weekend probably, now lets go to bed and hope Luna's ready too.

He lays himself down onto the simple bed and falls asleep almost instantly. "Goodnight." he manages to say before drifting to sleep.

"WELCOME, THOU SHALL BEGIN WITH OUR LESSONS." Luna screams in the royal Canterlot voice, only to be greeted by a thrown over Tom who wasn't expecting that she would use it.

"Eh, hello?" he says confused by the loud scream Luna made.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to ..."

"Alright, alright, just don't scream like that anymore." Tom says his ears still peeping a little from the sudden amount of decibels.

"Okay, now let's get started shall we?" Luna asks already knowing the answer that's going to come.

"Yes, let's get started. So, where do we start?" He asks wanting answers and getting over whit the lesson as quickly as possible.

"First, you need to know how to gather enough energy to perform spells, so that's where we are going to focus on the most today. Maybe we can start with simple levitation to, but I doubt we can get that far today."

"Well, what are we waiting for!" Tom exclaims excited.

"Not that fast, first you need to focus your mind in order to do it. I'm going to get a small ball of pure magic and I want you to concentrate on it, as long as possible."

That sounded not as much fun he had hoped the lessons would be, but he can't complain, you're already the only one that can do magic after all, well, the only human who can anyway. "Okay, let's get started then." he says calmer than his original excitement.

After an hour it started becoming boring constantly watching the same little thing. "Hey Luna, where you're first lessons as boring as this one, or were they more fun?" Tom asks being bored to dead and wanting to get a conversation going.

No reply. "Hey Luna" he says again, this time stopping to watch at the globe of magic. This was the worst thing he could do as he got kicked right in the face as he turned around.

"Concentrate!" Luna said firmly, reminding him of his own boss.

"Aw, okay, but why was that necessary?"

"You need to concentrate!" She said, making her point to Tom.

Two hours later Tom began drifting away. "I think I'm waking up Luna." he says.

"End of the training then." she says strictly.

"Until next night then." he says, finally drifting of.

Tom opens his eyes, looks at the clock and sees its ten to eight. "Holy, I need to get to work immediately!" he says not wanting to come late.
