An Electrifying Journey
Chapter 13 - Gifts
Hey guys! Back from the holidays. Hope you guys have patience cause this time, publishing will be hard because it is school days now.
Nevertheless, I will try my best to publish as many chapters as possible.
So now, back to my ... I mean our story.
I opened my eyes slowly and looked around the room, my vision was a blur so I rubbed my eyes and sat up, moaning. I opened my eyes wide and looked around the room, this time I was able to see everything clearly. I looked to my left to see Twilight, sleeping soundly beside me.
I sat there, recalling what happened last night. The dream, Luna and Twilight requesting to join in bed in the middle of the night.
I stood up and walked downstairs to make breakfast. I called Sam and Twilight down and both came out of the rooms one at a time and trudge wearily down to the dining table.
During breakfast, Twilight asked, "Davis, what are you planning to do today, you know, since you are here."
I stared at Twilight for a while, thinking of what I want to do today. An idea hit my head and I spoke out, "Maybe I will go out to the mines to look for diamonds to give to Luna during the Gala."
"Oh can I follow? I want some diamonds for the clothes I'm going to wear at the Gala." Sam asked, her mouth full.
Twilight cut me off before I was able to speak. "Maybe I should come, I got nothing to do today and you could use my magic to help find gems."
"Why not." I smiled.
Twilight turned to Spike who was munching down his breakfast. "Spike you want to come, you can help us dig up the gems and you will have some gems in return."
Spike thought it over and said "How many gems exactly?"
"Half of the remains." I replied before Twilight had time to talk.
Spike put his claws under his chin, thinking and nodded, "Deal!"
After breakfast, Sam went to Carousel Boutique to take measurements for her clothes, Twilight remained at the library to study on using her magic to find gems more easily, Spike was cleaning after the mess Twilight made in the library and I was browsing for a book in the library on how to carve gems to the shapes I want them to be.
I managed to find a book titled, "Gem carving." That was convenient! I took the book sat on the couch and began reading it. After reading a few chapters, I realised how hard it was to carve gems without magic. I began to get nervous and thought of anyone who knows how to carve things. My thoughts were disturbed by a loud crash followed by a scream, which I am assuming came from Twilight.
I went upstairs and saw all the books on the bookshelves on the floor scattered messily.
"What happened?" I asked, my eyes darting around the mess.
"W-well, my magic kind of got out of hand and caused all the books to fall off the bookshelves." Twilight replied nervously.
"Is it another magical outburst?" I asked, picking up some books and placing them accordingly on the bookshelves.
Twilight picked up some books with her magic and replied, her eyes remaining on the bookshelf, "No, just my magic going out of hand, happens from time to time."
Spike ran up the stairs, "Whats going on?" He stood there, staring the the mess. He groaned "All my hard work!" He began to clean up the mess Twilight made.
It was time for lunch when all the mess was gone. Sam was already back and we had lunch together, packed up and set off for the mines. It looked exactly like the mines in the show, where the diamond dogs kidnapped...I mean ponynapped Rarity.
Twilight stopped, turned and told us, "Okay this should be a good spot." She patted the ground. Sam and I placed the huge baskets down and Twilight's horn began to glow and I began to see some parts to the ground highlighted. I went to one of the highlighted spots and saw gems through the dirt.
"Cool!" I commended, digging through the dirt using the small shovel.
"Thanks!" Twilight said, taking a piece of stick and marking the highlighted areas with an 'x'. Spike ran to the spot and began to dig and in less than 3 seconds, the jewels were now visible.
Spike's grabbed them and his eyes began to sparkle and his mouth began to water. "Spppiiike" Twilight warned, standing behind him. Spike smiled and placed the jewels into the large baskets and continued digging.
Sam placed two earpieces into her ear, tapped something on her iphone and began to hum as she dug into the ground.
After an hour, we took a break, Twilight used her magic to place a mat on the dirt ground and we sat on it. I took one of the small baskets and took out some sandwhiches, handed it to everyone and we began eating. I looked at our progress, 1 large basket already filled to the brim. It was quite impressive, not to mention that each large basket was actually large enough to contain at least 100 gems.
After the half an hour break, we got back to work, this time, we were a bit further than before since we have already dug out all of the gems there. The sun was at a 40 degree angle from the west, marking that it was 3 in the afternoon. My body temperature rose and I was perspiring extensively. But I just continued working, for Luna.
After half an hour of digging, my vision began to blur and I could not feel my head. I squinted to see Twilight, watching Spike dig on the ground, I staggered towards them saying, "Tw-tw-twilight?"
Twilight turned to face me, "Yes, Davis?" she took a good look at me and my behaviour. "Wow Davis you feeling okay?"
"Not so." I answered before everything went blank.
Meanwhile, in the castle...
"Yes, now, focus on that apple and release you magic towards it." Celestia said, slowly.
Bryan's eyes frowned and he bent a little forward as he focus his magic to the apple that Celestia placed a few meters away from them. Bryan felt waves stream across hid body and in no time, the apple was surrounded by a cyan mist and began to levitate. Bryan opened his eyes wide to see the floating apple but it fell to the ground.
Celestia glared and him, who smiled faintly back. She smiled and said "Just need more practise and you will get it." Bryan smiled back and together, they went to the garden to call Luna, who was busy practising making fake objects using real ones. (Something like substitution)
Celestia saw a blue flower floating in front of Luna and then suddenly, there was a flash and now there were two blue flowers. The substitute floated to Luna as she examined it closely.
"How are you doing sister?" Celestia asked, startling Luna.
Luna turned her head to look at her elder sister. "I'm doing great, I can just substitute this flower but I will progress eventually, she smiled.
Bryan approached Luna and stood beside her and asked "What's the difference between the substitute and the real?"
Luna explained "Well the substitute is not a living thing but the real one is a living thing. And the substitute will disappear within a day." The substitute floated to Luna's ear and placed it there.
Together, the three walked to the dining hall to have their snack.
During snacktime, Luna asked Celestia. "Tia, do you know any magic that will make Davis a pony like Bryan?"
Celestia put her hoof under her chin. "Well, we could use the magic I used on Bryan which would knock him out for a while."
Luna turned to Bryan "Does it hurt?"
"VERY" He said, "It makes my head ache and my insides twirl."
Luna's eyes widened. "Is there any other way?"
Celestia shook her head, "Not that I know of. Why do you want him as a pony anyway?"
Luna replied "well since we are together, we planned for him to turn into a pony and after all, he is staying here for a while." she looked down nervously, thinking of what her sister might say.
"Your with a human?" She said, eyes wide. Luna nodded her head hesitantly.
Celestia closed her eyes, trying to think this through. Well Davis is not really that bad. My sister enjoys his presence more than mine. And as long as he is not doing anything with her as a human and then Im fine with him. She thought.
Celestia smiled. "Im happy for you sister, I will try my best to find a way to make Davis a human."
A wide grin appeared on Luna's face "Thanks Tia!" she shouted.
After snacks, Luna went to her room to write a letter to Davis.
Back in Ponyville...
I opened my eyes and slowly digest the scenery around me.
I noticed that I was lying on the bed which I woke up from last night. I looked around, everytime I moved my body, it ached. I saw the mane six and Sam surrounding me.
"Look! His comin' 'round!" Applejack said. Everybody and pony looked at me.
"Darling! Are you alright?" Rarity asked.
"HI-I-I'm f-fine" I replied, putting a hand on my head and rubbing it. "What happened?" I asked.
"Well you kind of experienced a heat stroke." Sam said, coming close to me to examine my condition.
"H-heat stroke?" I mumbled, laying my head back down on the pillow.
"Yes, you were working too hard and the heat from the sun seems to have knocked you out." Twilight explained.
"Ugggh." I moaned in pain. "What about the gems?"
"Taken care of." Rainbow smiled, tossing a sapphire over to me. I looked at it with a faint smile.
"Come on girls, he needs some rest." Twilight said.
The mane six went out and I tightened my grip on the sapphire and closed my eyes. Hope you like this Luna.
Davis heard a loud burp and saw green fire seep under the door. A letter? He thought.
Hope you guys like this!
I am tired now after my flight so see you again!
