I smiled with delight as Rarity used her magic to construct a top hat that looked somewhat like Slash's top hat. I mean, I had to provide approximate dimensions of the hat, which weren't the best since I never actually seen the hat in person, just over television waves or on the internet (once we got it, that is).
"And...qu'elle est terminé." Rarity complied while putting the top hat on top of my head.
"What?" I asked, unknown of what she had said.
Rarity giggled as I asked that. I looked back and tilted my head ever so slightly, showing even more signs of confusion.
"It means, 'It is finished,' darling," she told me.
I blushed a bit, a little embarrassed that I failed to put two and two together and come to a conclusion of what it meant. I rubbed the back of my neck with my (very flexible) front left hoof and proceeded to ask what language that was.
"It is French, Robert," Rarity answered in her high-classed English voice.
I, honestly, was amazed that Rarity knew French so...so...I don't know, but she knew it and she knew it well.
"That's amazing, Miss Rarity," I complimented.
"Such good manners, Robert," responded Rarity, "thank you very much."
"You're quite welcome," I replied. "Are there any other languages you're familiar with?"
"Just English and French, Robert," Rarity answered, using her magic to remove the top hat and place a wig atop my head, "how about you?"
"I know English, my dominant language, a little bit of Spanish, French, and Japanese," I responded.
"Such a wide range of languages," a pleased and impressed Rarity stated, using her magic to exchange one wig with another, "might I receive a demonstration of ces langues, s'il vous plaît [these languages, please]?"
I smiled, turning my head towards Rarity so that I may "provide a demonstration," if you will.
"Je ne sais pas, mademoiselle [I do not know, miss]." I chuckled, speaking in French.
"Oh," Rarity gasped, "please, continue."
"¿Estás seguro de que usted puede entender lo que estoy diciendo [Are you sure you can understand what I'm saying]?" I asked in Spanish.
"Perhaps I may," Rarity replied.
"あなたの日が起こっているか、希少ミス (Anata no hi ga okotte iru ka, kishō misu)?" I asked in Japanese.
"What does that mean?" the curious, high-society unicorn asked.
I chuckled, answering the question that was asked upon me. "It means, 'How is your day going, Miss Rarity?'"
"Simply fabulous, darling," Rarity answered, referring to both my question and the wig that she placed atop my head. "There, perfect."
"Complete?" I asked, revealing hints of curiosity in my voice.
"Fini [finished]." Rarity said.
Using her magic, she dragged a mirror in front of me and I gazed upon the completed outfit I was to wear on Nightmare Night. I was awe struck at the complexity and the detailing of both the custom-made top hat and the wig, both of which appeared to match the way Slash had his top hat and hair almost perfectly. Now that I looked like Slash, all I needed was Les Gibson guitar, the main guitar he used when he played live.
"How do you like it?" Rarity asked me.
"I love it, Miss Rarity," I answered back, offering her a content and satisfied smile.
Rarity then clapped her front hooves together as she started helping me off the pedestal I was standing on. She took off the wig and the top hat using her magic and set them aside for me.
"Come now," she started, "let us visit Twilight once more. If I recall, she did say that she would help you out with magic, seeing how you're a unicorn now with no ability to use the magic."
"Thank you, Miss Rarity," I replied.
"You may address me simply as Rarity, darling," she offered.
"Thank you, Rarity," I answered as we left the Carousel Boutique.
Walking off of the property and turning left down the dirt road, I proceeded to ask Rarity what magic means to a unicorn.
"Well, darling," Rarity started, "a unicorn with classe has the most beautiful magic. A unicorn must never use their magic for horrid purposes. A unicorn must be stylish, classy, take pride in their magic. A unicorn must embrace their magic – true magic that they are born with."
"So magic and unicorns go hand in hand, right?" I asked.
"'Hand in hand?'"
"It's an expression back home," I replied, "It means that they go together, correct?"
"Absolutely, Robert," answered Rarity.
I smiled at Rarity, then turned my head back forward and glanced at Twilight's oak tree home, which was conveniently close to the Carousel Boutique, though the distance was never shown on the show. We approached the front door and Rarity knocked ever so elegantly on it. A few seconds later, Twilight opened up the door and escorted us both inside her home.
Inside, Twilight was alone, with Spike tending to his cleaning in the upstairs room. Twilight guided us to the center of the large, circular, wooden room and the turned back around to face both me and Rarity. Rarity left my side and stood next to Twilight, also facing me in the process.
"Are you ready to learn the ways of magic, Robert?" Twilight asked me, Rarity smiling at me in the process.
Looking up at my horn, I nodded my head and confidently spoke, "Yes, I am, Twilight."
Rarity glanced over towards Twilight, whom did the same, then back at me. An elegant magenta aura then covered Twilight's horn while a modest blue aura covered Rarity's horn.
"Welcome to your life, Robert," Twilight spoke to me as a beam of magic shot out from both her horn and Rarity's horn and wrapped around me.
"Seek inside yourself for the magic within you and drag that out, Robert," Twilight told me.
I closed my eyes and tried very, very hard to access the magic within my body. Drops of sweat began falling from the sides of my face as I was trying very hard to feel the magic embrace my horn, but had no luck in doing so. As I began to stop trying, I felt the magic from within myself embrace my entire body and navigate its way to my horn. I had accessed my magic and successfully navigated it to my horn.
"What a magnificent emerald aura, Robert," Rarity admired.
I smiled as I glanced up at my horn and saw the bottom portion of the emerald aura embrace my horn. I was simply excited beyond words as I began to access my magic.
"Now you are a true unicorn, Robert," Twilight told me, "now let's work on controlling your magic and performing basic magic tricks."
