Chapter 10

Doorknobs and Stairs. Simple Devices, Or Weapons of Evil?


You awoke with the sun in your eyes from a crack in the curtain. You could swear you heard the sounds of rusty metal rubbing against itself as you opened your eyes slowly. You neck hurt from sleeping in an awkward position on the couch, which was empty. You get up, and off the couch with a groan, and stand on all fours. In an effort to shake the sleep off you, you shake yourself like a dog would.

It worked surprisingly well, and you begin to walk upstairs to the bathroom. It was a long walk up the stairs, which you know had a found hatred for being such a pain in the ass. You walk up to the door, and stare at the doorknob. Door KNOB, not handle. ‘Well… Fuck… How the fuck am I supposed to work this damn thing?’ “Hey Rarity! Where are you at?” No response. You decide to try and open the door, and bring a hoof up to open it. You fumble with it for about thirty seconds before you try and bring your other hoof up to help. You fall face first into the door. “God damn it!” You shout.

Grumbling, you head downstairs. You now have a hatred for stairs that even Francis would admire. You took two steps before falling down the whole flight of stairs. “GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!! I FUCKING HATE STAIRS!!” You shout at the top of your lungs, more than pissed at the pieces of wood you could practically hear mocking you.

You walk to the front door, which thankfully has a handle, and walk outside. Sugercube Corner is the closest of your new friends homes, and with a building urge, you set off to the building. After about ten minutes of walking, you felt like you were going to burst, or piss your pants. Well, you aren’t wearing pants, but that was besides the point. And for some reason, everpony you passed, stoped what they were doing, and stared at you.

Whispering things like, “Are those real?” Or something along those lines. You couldn’t for the life of you figure it out, but it was pissing you off. You finally reach Sugercube Corner, and it was open! ‘Yes! Sweet relief!’ You walk inside, and the chit-chat from the ponies inside stopped as they stared at you. You walk right up to the blue mare manning the counter and ask, “You got a bathroom? With a door handle, not a door knob.” Her jaw drops as she turns around from what she was doing and saw you.

She nods dumbly and points off to the side. “Thanks!” Quickly walking over to where she was pointing, you find the bathroom. ‘Fuck yeah! I just have to push it open!’ You walk in, and finally get sweet relief. “Aahhhh…” You reach down, and shake yourself off, and wash up in the sinks, which were a pain to use, but you manage. You walk out and thank the blue mare and leave. Everypony in the room still gawking at you.

You decide to go to Twilight’s, or more to the point, the library. You needed some books on magic, doorknobs will stop you no longer! With determination in your step, you walk off to the library. When you get there, you knock on the door. When it opens, Spike in standing there. “Sup bro, I need some books, may I come in?”

“Uh… Sure… You sound really familiar… Have we met before?” Spike asked as he stepped aside so you could come in.

You facehoof. “Oh yeah… It’s me, Jason.”

Spikes eyes went wide. “So the spell Twilight and the princess’ were working on worked! Twilight was avoiding the subject when I asked her how it went… Weird huh?”

You shrug. “I guess, I need some really beginners books on magic, and flying. I’m talking like, the basic of basics. And where is Twilight? I have some questions I want to ask.”

Spike walked over to the bookshelf to retrieve the books you requested. “I can understand why you want magic books, but why flying? And Twilight is upstairs talking to Rarity. She seemed a little worried about something when she came in… Wonder what’s up?” Spike asked.

“No idea Spike my man, your guess is as good as mine. Probably a mare thing. As for the flying book, I need it for these babies!” You exclaim proudly, turning to your side showing your wings off to Spike. Who promptly dropped the books he was holding, which hit the floor followed by his jaw. “Neat huh? Gimme a sec, I’ll see If I can’t find out how to unfurl the things.”

“Y-y-you’re…. A-a-an….” Spike stuttered as you manage to unfurl your wings. “Alicorn?!”

“Haha!” You declare proudly having unfurled your wings. “Yeah, pretty neat huh? Door knobs are a pain in the ass without hands though… Need to figure out magic quick, otherwise bathrooms are going to be a problem while I’m staying at Rarity’s…”

“You’ve been staying at Rarity’s?”

“Yeah, have been since I got here, short of the hospital thing.” Spikes poor mind has taken enough of a beating, and decided to clock out of reality before it gets anymore shocks. He hit the floor with a dull *Thud*. “Oops… Hey Twilight! I broke Spike’s brain!”

“What do you mean?! Is he okay?! And what are you even doing here?!”

“I came here to get some books! Need to figure out how to work doorknobs if I’m going to be staying at Rarity’s! I had to go all the way down to Sugercube Corner to use the bathroom! Why don’t you come down?! All this shouting is getting annoying!”

Twilight flung the door open with her magic, and ran down the stairs; followed by Rarity, though slower than Twilight. “You did what?! You went all the way to Sugercube Corner, and here in broad daylight?!”

“That bad? I kinda had to really use the bathroom, and Sugercube Corner was closer then the library, which probably also would’ve had a doorknob instead of a handle.” You turned to Rarity. “You okay? Spike said you came in here looking a little flustered? And also, how are you feeling from last night?”

“A little sore, but I’ll manage. Thank you for your concern.” She says with a smile, and a nod.

“It’s only natural for me to be concerned, it was my fault after all.” You say dismissively waving a hoof. “Besides, what kind of man, or stallion would I be if I didn’t?”

“Well, you'd seem like somepony who only cares for himself, and that’s no stallion I’d be interested in.”

At this Twilight speak up. “Are you saying you are interested in him?”

She glances over at Spike, and makes sure he’s still out of it. She lets out a sigh and says, “Well, yes. I wouldn’t have done the things I was telling you about if I didn’t like him; and Twilight, let’s keep everything that we talked about, between us. Alright? Also, I’d like to be the one who tells everypony about Jason and I.” Rarity looked over at Twilight with pleading eyes.

“Of course Rarity! You can count on me! What we talked about in my room will stay between us.” Now you are all the more curious, but you decide to change the topic instead of dig yourself a hole.

“So… About those books?” You are looking at Rarity and Twilight, alternating who you are focusing on. You tend to linger on Rarity for longer amounts of time however.

Twilight looks at you and smiles. “Of course! What books did you ask for?”

“The basic of basics for magic and flying. At the very least I want the magic ones, doorknobs will hold me back no longer!” Twilight laughed for a moment, before remembering, she was supposed to be mad at you for walking around. She quickly changed her mind, thinking over the fact that Rarity wasn’t home, and you couldn’t very well just hold it till she got back.

“You know, you probably have the whole town in an uproar. First you show up, and kill two stallions like it was nothing, and now you are an alicorn. Who, just strode around Ponyville like it was nothing.” She let out a drawn out sigh. “What are we going to do with you? Quite the trouble maker… Worse than Spike.”

“You know, you and my mom would get along very nicely I think…”

Twilight ignored you as she gathered the books you requested, just the magic ones, as it seemed there was quite a few. You counted six books, all of them labeled in a way that shows that they are the basics. Except one, one was an advanced book, probably for when you were done with the first few. “Here you go, these are the basics. And this is slightly more advanced for when you finish the first few.” ‘Knew it. I’m so good.’

“Hey thanks Twi’, I appreciate it. This’ll have me working with doorknobs in no time!” Twilight looked at you like you were crazy, so to add to it, you say. “Then, I’ll conquer stairs!!” And then you start cackling madly. You stop, and ask. “How am I supposed to carry all these books?”

Rarity laughed like the answer was obvious. “Saddlebags of course darling!”

“Yeah… I didn’t exactly bring any, and it doesn’t look like you have any either.”

“You can just borrow mine,” Twilight spoke up, stuffing the books into a pair of satchels that were saddlebags.

“Thanks again Twilight.” You turn to look at Rarity. “Better watch out, Twilight is going to give you a run for your money at being the Element of Generosity.” You start laughing.

“I can make you sleep on the couch you know.” Rarity says calmly and flatly. Shutting you up instantly.

“Sorry, won’t happen again. Promise.” You say, terrified at the prospect she has this much power over you so soon.

Rarity nods. “Much better. Thank you for your assistance this morning with the things I was worried about as well Twilight, and for the saddlebags. I’ll have Jason return them as soon as we get home.”

Twilight sighed. “Alright, I suppose it doesn’t matter, all of Ponyville is probably talking about him anyway. Just try to stay out of any trouble, okay?”

You laugh. “I’ll do my best, but I can’t say the same for everypony else.” You say turning towards the door. “C’mon Rarity, I’m starving, and I can’t wait to taste some more of your cooking now that I know it’s not going to kill me!” You start laughing and start trying to open the door, when you feel an odd presence behind you. You quickly spin around, to see Rarity’s horn glowing.

She promptly stops whatever magic she was going to do, and the odd presence goes away. “What’s the matter? You nearly gave me a heart attack with how quickly you spun around!” Rarity complained, though, with a good reason.

“Light your horn up again.” You asked.

“Whatever for darling?” Rarity asked, quite confused.

“Humor me.” Rarity sighed and ignited her horn. And the presence came back again. “Okay, that’s good. Twilight, can you do it to please?” Rarity stopped flaring her horn up. Both Twilight and Rarity looked at you funny, but Twilight complied. As soon as her horn lit up, you felt a much, much… MUCH stronger presence. “WHOA STOP! STOP!” Twilight did.

“What’s the matter? You look like you’ve seen a ghost?” Twilight asked

“When Rarity started casting a spell, I felt… Something… Like a presence, like somepony was watching you, it was creepy, no offence. But Twilight, when you started doing whatever it was you were doing, I felt the threat of impending death loom above me… Like I was on the chopping block and you were my executioner…” You shudder. “I wonder why I didn’t feel this before?”

Twilight seemed to think it over, ignoring your dark comparison of her presence. “Maybe now that you have been awake, your body is adjusting to your new body now that your brain is active.”

“That could be it. Now that I’m active, the neurons in my brain may be making the necessary connection to do whatever it is I’m going to do as an alicorn.” You say thoughtfully.

Twilight practically squeed. The thought of being able to have a thought provoking conversation with somepony who knew big words was absolutely thrilling. “Good idea! But what do you mean what you are going to do as an alicorn?”

“Well, Celestia controls the sun, and Luna the moon. So what do you think I’ll do?”

“You bring up a good point… Well, whatever it is, I’m sure it will be fine. Assuming it’s anything, but I’m sure you’ll do something. I mean, look at the track record for alicorns.”

“Thanks, I just hope I’ll be able to live up to the expectations of everypony else. I know you two, Spike, and the others probably won’t compare me to Celestia, or even Luna, but what about the ponies who don’t know me?” You sounded disheartened, but quickly perk up a bit. “Well, let’s just get going. I wanna get to work on these books. Sooner I can deal with these god damned doorknobs, and handles the better!”

Rarity nods and happy exclaims. “Indeed! Let’s get going! Thank you for everything Twilight dear, I’ll send Jason back with the bags as soon as we get home.” You sigh. “Well, think of it as repaying Twilight’s kindness. After all, she is lending you the bags darling. You wouldn’t want to make her go more out of her way then she already is do you?”

‘Sacrifices must be made…’ You think drearily… “No, I wouldn’t. I don’t want to impose more then I already am. Thanks for everything Twilight.”

She smiles. “It’s no problem at all.” She says as she uses her magic to put the bags on you. Which, frankly, scares you to death and back. Twice.“Good luck with your studies. I’ll also send a letter to the princess regarding you ‘sensing’ Rarity and I using magic. Let me know if you sense others as well. It may be important.”

You nod. “You got it Twilight.” You and Rarity head for the door. Which Rarity opens, you feel her presence again, and it’s still creepy, but at least it doesn’t scare you silly like Twilights does. You both walk out the door sharing one last goodbye, and a thank you to Twilight. Again.

The walk back to Rarity’s is uneventful, short of the stares and murmurs you are getting from the ponies around you. ‘Haha. They so jelly of my alicorn swagga. Be jelly ponies. I’m awesome.’ You think to yourself with a smug grin. As soon as you walk into Rarity’s, she pulls out the books, and her magic being that close to your body sends shivers down your spine. You thank her real quick, and head back out to Twilight’s.

You knock again, and the door is opened by Spike, who seems to have woken up. “Sup dude! Hey, I need your help taking these things off for Twilight. She let me borrow her saddle bags so I could carry the books home”

“Yeah. Sure.” Spike responds flatly as he sets off to work. ‘He’s mad that I’m staying at Rarity’s. How cute.’ Once he undoes them, and they hit the floor, he picks them up and puts them back in their rightful spot. “There you go. Have a nice day.” ‘Okay, not mad, pissed.’

“Hey, thanks man.” You leave and head back to Rarity’s. The trip itself is uneventful, and when you get in, Rarity has breakfast waiting for you. Fired egg sandwiches. “Awesome! Thanks Rarity!” You look down at your sandwich. And pick it up between your hooves. ‘Easy… Easy now….’

“Oh Jason! Welcome home!” Rarity says, rather loudly as she walks up behind you.

“Ah!” In your surprise, you squeeze too hard, causing the yolk in the egg to burst, covering your face in egg yolk.

Rarity giggles and says. “Sorry Jason. Let me make that little mistake up to you.”

You sigh and ask. “How pray tell, are you going to do that?”

Rarity walks around to face you, and begins licking the yolk off of your face. You are to shocked for words. Which causes Rarity to giggle again. When she finishes she says in a sultry voice. “Mmm… That was thick, and tasty…” *POMF* Facehoof. Rarity starts full on laughing at you, and your sudden wingboner. “Why don’t you come upstairs to my room, hmm?” You get up and start following her swaying hips up the stairs.

Unless you didn't vote. Then, no thank you. You are rude for not voting. Even if you don't care, say so. Please. I mean, if that's not to much trouble...
