Pony of the Twelve Signs

Luster woke up in a panic. The tree house was on fire and his horn was spewing flames. He quickly concentrated and stopped the flow of magic to his horn and the flames. He ran over to the sink and turned it on. Concentrating again luster made a tidal wave that doused the eating fire.

Boy was twilight going to be angry at him; he had almost burned the house down and had soaked her books when He managed to shoot a stream of water at the flames.

Luster walked over to the sink and turned it off. He looked in the mirror and stared at himself his Dark Grey pelt and Golden blonde hair was singed and the Golden sheen on his pelt was dimmed.

Thinking of cleaning up he quickly opened a window and debated whether it would be safe or not to summon a light breeze. Thinking it safe he concentrated and to his surprise the light breeze he summoned wasn't something drastic like a tornado or a hurricane.

He directed the wind to spin around the treehouse and dry the place and his pelt while he laid out the wet books.

The princesses had summoned him to Canterlot from Foalsom because his uncontrollable magic and it had spiked their interest. Next thing he had known he was put in a floating bubble and sent on a train to Ponyville to meet Celestia's student; Twilight Sparkle.

He had been stuck in the house for about a week now it was starting the wear on him and Twilight was busy with whatever it was she did during the day

It was at about this time in his thought process he heard the door open and close and a pleasantly familiar voice.

"Spike the mysteries of magic are... LUSTER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!"

Luster wasn't surprised to hear the anger in Twilights voice the house was a swirling mess of papers, puddles and ash.

Luster walked into the front room to see a fuming Twilight and a confused Spike.

'oh boy am I dead now' Luster thought to himself and then he looked to Twilight "Um sorry for the mess...'"

"Mess, MESS!!!! UG! This is horrible! My notes are ruined and the ink is smearing!"

Twilight was frantically running around the room trying to make sense of the mess.

"I was doing my best to handle it."

"What do you mean your best! Recipes ruined, History smeared, Spells muddled! GAH!!"

"Sorry..."

"No no it's fine Celestia warned me that you had some, er, quirks, I guess she forgot to mention the lack of everyday magic at your disposal!" Twilight sighed, "you can't even cast simple levitation spells and without a library of research, research will be a pain."

"Twilight?" Spike interrupted.

"Yes Spike?"

"Would we be able to contact your brother somehow maybe he could help?"

'Just what we need another Unicorn.' Luster thought.

"That's an excellent idea Spike take a letter."

Spike dropped the books he was holding and started looking fo a spare quill and a dry piece of paper.

"You have a brother?" Luster asked Twilight

"Yes, he's the captain of the Royal Canterlot Gaurd. Though by now he might have been promoted to some higher rank."

"I see."

Luster knew the captain of the Gaurd and was not on good terms with him.

Spike walked over with a quill, paper, and ink and was waiting patiently.

"Now while I write a message to Princess Celestia start sorting those books according to how damaged they are."

"Will do."

"Now Spike are you ready?"

"Yes Twilight!"

"Ok. Ahem. Dear Princess Celestia I have come to a dead end with Luster's situation and would like to request the aid of my brother for his knowledge of magic as well as his protective abilities. Thank you. Always your faithful student Twilight Sparkle."

"... And done!" said spike a moment later.

"Good, now send."

With the usual whoosh of green flame the letter was off to the Princess.

Luster was pushing some books toward a pile.

"Now that your done could I get some help please?"

Before Twilight could respond a pink lump slammed into her shouting something that sounded like 'Twitchy tail' just as a beam from the ceiling came down a landed with a crash in the spot where Twilight was standing a moment before. Luster jumped in shock at the scene.

"Pinkie! Get off"' shouted A muffled Twilight from under The pink pony.

The pink pony got off Twilight and helped her up and started bouncing in place.

"Thanks but Pinkie what are you doing here?"

"I just had a hunch a new pony was in town and I thought I'd ask you first!"

Luster figuring that this was the infamous Pinkie Pie watched the scene with concern.

"Is she always like... This?"

Pinkie Pie breathed in really loudly.

"Twilight, since when did you hide Boys in your house!!!"

Twilight blushed faintly but not so faintly that Luster didn't notice.

"Um.." She said.

Pinkie Pie walked over to Luster and shook his hoof violently.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie..."

"Pinkie." Twilight warned.

"...Pie you must be new here as I've..."

"Pinkie."

"...Never seen you before and I know..."

"Pinkie!"

"...Every pony in Ponyville!!!"

'PINKIE!!!!'

"What is it Twilight I'm done?"

"Nice to meet you." Luster put in.

"Pinkie I hate to put you down but Luster, Spike, and I have to clean up the place."

"Put me down? Never Twilight I have a welcome Party to plan! See you!"

Pinkie Pie bounced off toward Sugar Cube Corner.

"Bye!" Luster and Spike shouted.

"See you!" Twilight shouted.

"Is she always like that?"

"Yes, but you get used to it! Now for those books."

"This pile is dry!" shouted Spike from on top of a small pile of books.

"And this pile is drying."

Luster motioned to a small cyclone drying a group of books their pages flipped in the wind slowly.

"Good good it was about time I reorganized the library. Oh and you make and excellent dryer." Twilight joked.

"Thanks," Luster chuckled, "I'm just glad it didn't become a tornado in all the time it's been up."

The trio laughed and continued working through the night.
