I just realized why I prefer fanfiction, I don't have to describe every character in great detail, cause most of them are already known, so convenient. Yes, I'm lazy get over it; it's just how we soldiers are when we can get away with it. Onto the next chapter, HI HO SILVER AWAY! I wonder if ponies would find that offensive?
"They do."
Luna you're drunk go home, back to fiction with you.
"And to think I used to think you were cool."
You love me, you know it.
"You're joking right, you just called me fictional, I'm going back to Tias hmmph."
Don't be like that, I was only joking Luna.
"Should've thought about that before being a jerk."
Pleaaaassee. Don't leave me with Pinkie!
"Too late." *starts walking*
Don't go Luna I'll massage your hooves, and give you the Royal Treatment! *frantically follows into the distance*
I felt much better after Rainbow Dash's words of wisdom, I wasn't perfect, but I was definitely much happier now that I had accepted the fact that it really didn't matter. I stood on the bridge for a few minutes longer enjoying the relaxing gurgle of the stream, and the warm sunlight. It was really peaceful standing there; Rainbow Dash had left to go practice her flying, and probably find a cloud to go snooze on for a while. "It really is nice here isn't Chaice, calm and peaceful, I hope it never ends" Twilight wistfully said. Still staring out at the stream, and town, I threw my two bits in, "You know Twilight I understand how you feel, but as an old saying goes, how can you appreciate the light of day if you've never seen the night, or vice versa for that matter." "I get your point, it's just after banishing Nightmare Moon from Luna, and all the other crazy stuff, I hope there are no more crises." She told me. "You know Twilight, I feel sympathy for Nightmare Moon, Princess Luna, and all she ever wanted was to feel appreciated like her sister, but instead she felt unwanted, and unneeded completely inconsequential, when she knew the night was just as necessary, and truly just as wonderful as any day could be." I gave my honest opinion on the subject of Princess Luna, and her alter ego. "Don't you mean Princess Luna, not Princess Luna, and Nightmare Moon?" Twilight asked. "No, I mean both of them, I think Nightmare Moon was born from Princess Luna's bitter feelings of being unwanted, and that they are one, and the same, and that Nightmare Moon was simply the identity created to cope with those feelings, an identity of action, as opposed to depressed solitude, she only chose the wrong means, and actions to win the respect, and appreciation she wanted so badly, instead she got fear, and disapproval. To say Nightmare Moon was pure evil is the same to me as saying Princess Luna is pure evil" I countered. "Are you saying you think Princess Luna is capable of doing the things Nightmare Moon did, trying to bring about an eternal night?" Twilight asked. "Everyone is capable of committing horrible acts, it's just a matter of being pushed the wrong way by circumstance, can you imagine you're entire life as the protégé to Princess Celestia, where every achievement you made being met with disappointment, and rebuke, being belittled for your triumphs, or simply ignored, wouldn't you find yourself in a spiraling depression, where when you finally hit your emotional rock bottom, your choices are to either; A: lie down and accept your fate of never being accepted, or recognized, feeling like a worthless failure, or B: do something about it and climb out the hole by any means necessary, usually the most drastic, and first option that comes to mind because by this point you're so desperate to escape your own feeling of worthlessness, reason is beyond your ability to comprehend. Can't imagine how alone she must have felt, and to top off all that I said before, she was always comparing herself to the adoration, and praise her sister got." I heatedly replied. "No, I can't, I never thought of it from her shoes, but it still doesn't feel right saying Princess Luna, and Nightmare Moon are the same." She replied acknowledging what I had said. "More importantly Twilight, I think Princess Luna is still very sad, and ashamed of what she once was, what I think Princess Luna needs, is exactly what you are so fortunate to have, true friends, and I think we may be the only ones capable of filling that role, cause every other pony is only capable of seeing one of two things, Nightmare Moon, and a Princess, and should the opportunity ever arise, I'm going to thank her for her nights, so she can know for certain there's at least one person who's thankful for her efforts." I finished my crusade there, before settling back to the calming stream.
It was awkwardly silent for a few minutes, and then I remembered that Pinkie Pie was most assuredly preparing a surprise welcome party for me at Sugar Cube Corner. "Hey Twilight, what do you say we head back to the library, and play twenty questions, so we can rest a bit before the inevitable welcome party Pinkie is probably setting up now starts." I said to a now excited Twilight. "Oh, that sounds like a good idea, and I'd like to know more about you, and the world you're from." She replied with a small smile while the gears kept churning in her head, probably already thinking questions. We made our way back to the library passing through the town, earning quite a few curious looks from the other ponies in town.
When we got back I took a seat at the desk that was off to the side of the main room, Twilight took a seat across from me, "So, do all humans look like you?" she asked. "No, we have different heights, weights, muscle mass, facial features, hair colors, skin colors, a lot like you ponies but we don't have the vivid colors y'all do, no greens or blues, except for eye color, or we dye it, and no purple what so ever, unless we use dye, or colored contacts." I answered. I didn't realize it, but she also had a pad, and a quill, and was writing everything down. I thought for a moment while looking around the library before I decided on a question that the show never explained, "How come ponies almost never wear clothes, certainly there are some environments even y'alls natural coats aren't enough?" "That's an odd, and interesting question, I guess its cause they're usually unnecessary, and would interfere with moving around" she replied. We went back and forth, her asking about , and what my world was like, I toed around those questions so as not to paint all of humanity as useless, evil pieces of garbage, and I usually asked about the past of Equestria and herself. Quickly we made it to my last question, and three hours had passed, it was now about four thirty or so when I asked the question I'd been wondering a long time but forgot, "Twilight, where does magic come from and how do you use it, and if you don't mind show me a simple spell, and walk me through the mental process to achieve it." "To be honest, no one's sure where magic comes from, but usually it's best to be calm, and concentrated when trying to use magic, or something unintended might happen, watch" she told me as she levitated a book in front of me, I sat there enthralled by it, inspecting it trying to learn anything I could about the force of magic, until Twilight interrupted my thoughts by dropping the book on the desk, "This is a simple levitation spell, first I imagine focusing my energy into my horn," her horn was soon engulfed by her trade mark pink aura, "Then picture the book moving from where it is to where I want it, so I can think of what commands I need to give, in this case from there to here right in front of me," as the book began to levitate in front of her above the table, "It's really that simple?" I asked skeptically. "It is for me. I'm going to go get a glass of water would you like one?" she asked me, "Yes, please."
As Twilight left the room to retrieve our waters, I decided to try what I've found myself to futilely attempt in the past, telekinesis, I leaned back in the chair closing my eyes, focusing on my breathing trying to imagine the ki in my body collecting in my core, breath in, breath out, I was slowly starting to find that calm place I go to whenever I try to meditate, I slowly started feeling a tingling moving from my limbs in to my chest, next I started trying to direct it to my hands, I placed my hands on the table in front of me as if I was trying to hold an ostrich egg between them as I felt the tingling build up on the palms of my hands, I then tried to imagine the tingling leaving my hands condensing, and compressing between them. I was jolted out of my meditation by the sound of glasses breaking as my eyes jumped open to see Twilight standing in the doorway with a shocked bug eye look plastered on her face, broken glass and water all around her. "You said humans couldn't use magic!" I stared at her as if her horn was a dildo, "What are you talking about, we can't, no human has ever been able to prove the existence of magic much less use it." "You just did, I saw it!"
