Chapter 4 – Do they invisibility spells?

The hard walk way works against you as you follow behind Twilight and Night Light. Oh god why did I agree to this, every so often as Twilight and her dad continue talking the blue unicorn glances back to you, and each time you bring your eyes to the hard walk way beneath you.

You try to talk yourself into confidence as you near the restaurant you are supposed to be eating at, come on I have stood up to a god of chaos a blue unicorn should not affect me. You give a smile to the back of his blue mane as you continue to think, ya an alien magic pony is dating your daughter…Your confidence boost doesn’t last long as you see the sign of the restaurant,  ‘Canterlot freshly’.

You look to the unicorns that sit outside, this place has chairs unlike the The Green Clover, but other than that it kind of looks the same. Your ears perk to the sound of a feminine voice calling out across the restaurant, “Twilight.”

Twilight picks up speed as she calls out, “Hi mom.”

You watch as Twilight embraces the white pony, you look over the mare; her hair is white with the same light purple streaks through it, in the same fashion as Twilights. You thought drift to Night Light as he takes his sat next to the white mare, his blue coat and darker blue mane bear no resemblance to Twilight’s. No wonder you could had never guessed he was Twilight’s dad she looks nothing like him.

As Spike takes a seat at the table you walk towards it, you’re quick to take the seat next to Twilight as you look past her dads glaring start to the more talkative mare.

“Shinning said you were back in Canterlot.” The pony brings her in for another hug as she continues to talk, “When we heard of Discord’s return we were so worried.”

Twilight gives a giggle as she pushes off her mother; her cheeks are a little red as she talks, “Oh mom, you know I’m always safe.”

The white mare holds her hoof as she brushes Twilight mane out of her face, “I know.”

Twilight looks embraced as her mother continues to talk, “You're bigger than the last time I saw you, It seems like only yesterday that you were a filly.”

Spike looks excitedly to the white pony as he sits up in his chair, “And I have gotten bigger to.”  He points to himself with his claw as he smiles.

The white mare gives a laugh as she reaches across the table and pets Spikes head, “Yes, yes you have.”

She now turns her eyes to you, her bright blue eyes are a lot more inviting than Night light’s dullish orange ones, “I’m sorry and who are you?”

Before you can speak Night Light cuts you off with a few quick spoken words, “Twilight’s colt friend.”

He looks you over as he finishes his sentence.

Before the mare could talk Twilight gives a shaky laugh as she stutters on the words, “Yes, this is my colt friend.” 

You feel a little disappointment at her change but you go with it as you introduce yourself to the white pony across from you.

The mare doesn’t seem to care about the transaction that took place a few moments earlier as she smiles to you, “My name is Twilight Velvet.”

You give her a friendly smile as you settle back in your chair.

Night Light’s lip quivers as he fidgets in his seat.

Velvet looks over you as she talks, “Are you from Fillydelphia?”

You give a laugh at the name, looks like ponies have the same taste in city name to, you shake your head at the question.

Twilight shifts at the question, “He’s not from Equestria.”

Night Light again looks up from his menu with a quivering lip.

Velvet moves a little closer as she talks, “oh a foreign pony where are you from?”

You and Twilight share a look before she continues to talk to you, “it’s a faraway place.”

Velvet gives an accepting nod as she continues to ask questions, “So what are you doing here in Equestria?”

You hold your head up with pride as you answer her question, “I’m helping Twilight study friendship for Celestia.”

Night Light gives an annoyed laugh as he hoofs out to you, “really? The Princess wants your help, nice one.”

You’re taken back by his sarcastic attitude a little, “why is that hard to believe?”

Twilight looks at her dad a little puzzled, “He really was tasked by the Princess to help me.”

Night light throws his hooves at you in a motion as he talks, “Honestly Twilight you should not make the poor guy come up with a story.” He gives another laugh as he talks, “You obviously have been down in Ponyville to long and you have fallen victim to some hillbilly earth pony.”

You’re shocked at his comment and strangely offended by it.

Twilight gives a surprised huff, “And what does an earth pony have to do with anything?!”

Night light crosses his hooves as he sits back in his chair, “Oh nothing, nothing at all. I mean why would I care about you throwing your life away for some talent less pony.”

You buckle as his words a bit, “What do you mean talent less?”

Velvet taps Night light as she talks; “Now I think you should apologize.” She gives a stern look at the blue unicorn.

Night light leans back as he hoofs to you, “Come on honey he doesn’t even have a cutie mark?!”

You push your hoof over you side as you talk back, “SO what does that mean, I can do anything?”

Night light laughs as he snaps back, “Don’t hurt yourself, who would carry Twilights bags!?”

“Dad!” Twilight stares at her dad in disappointment.

Spike and Velvet sinks in his chair as the atmosphere around the table turns heavy.

He settles as he looks at her, but continues to talk, “Oh that’s right I forgot Princess Celestia tasked him to help you with magic.” He smiles to you, “So what is it that you do again? Because when Discord attacked Canterlot I never heard your name mentioned.” He gives a sly smile as he shoots one more remake, “did you run like a good earth pony?”  You feel your face becoming warm as she shoots back his next comment with a sly grin, “Well earthy?”

You finally break as you feel yourself shouting at him, “You want to settle something!?” Twilight pulls on you as you stand up.

Night light claps his hooves as he watches you, “Oh great guy Twilight.” His horn glows with a blue aura as you feel a pressure pushing down on your back, “Why don’t you take a seat before you do something stupid and get yourself hurt.”

A tingling sensation comes over your body as struggle to stay up; with a jerk of your head a stream of green magic breaks his aura around you. The menus and silverware on the table hit the ground with a clang, the ponies around the restaurant all turn and face your table in silence.

Night light rubs at his head as he looks to you in a state of bewilderment.

Velvet attempts to settle the already over boiled situation as she stands from her seat, “Ok, that’s enough you two.” She gives both of you a harsh as she turns to Night light, “Now I would like to give Twilight’s friend a chance if you don’t mind.”

Her words do little to curve your train of thought as you await Night light’s quivering lip. As he speaks his voice is shaky, “What…what hay are you!?”

Twilight is now standing from her chair as she puts her hoof on you, “Are you ok?’

Your face is still warm and your body continues to tremble, you know the annoyed anger that was swirling in you still lurks under your coat.

Night light call to her from across the table in a low voice, “Is he alright?! He’s not even normal! An earth pony that does magic!?”

You hear the on looking ponies making comments all around you, you’re not shy from crowds but at this moment you don’t feel too well.

Twilight gives an angered huff to her dad as she talks, “Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if you were not so judgmental.”  You notice her purple eyes flicker a bit as she finish her statement.

Night light up his head down as he soaks up what she has finished saying.

Twilight turns herself to you as she talks, “Now are you ok?” You watch as her right hoof begins to leave the ground and reach towards you…in the brief moment your mind is flooded with your nightmare from this morning, the feeling that still clings to your coat only makes your fear for the dream worse. As her hoof comes closer to your chest you quickly and with a little bit of force smack it from your body.

Twilight is taken back by your sudden motion as she takes a step back from you, “ow.”

Your conflicted with your action but you know that may had been the only thing you could do, you stammer with your words as you look at her, “Twilight…I…I’m sor..” you can’t bring yourself to a proper apology as she stares at you, in her face you know she could not possibly understand. 
You swallow hard as you end your incomplete sentence, “I…I think I should go.”

You look to the other two ponies faces as you turn to leave the table, your stomach is tight and your head feels like its spinning but you know this is only way you can perhaps make anything better at this point.
