Big Mac's Journal of Desires

Magic

Applejack imagined jumping off a tree, expecting muscles of your body to save you and make yourself completely weightless. Applejack never told anypony besides her own mind, but she had always wanted to fly. Just once. She was honestly a little jealous that Twilight got wings. She heard about flying from Rainbow Dash, and had always wanted to try it. Magic, forget about it. She knew she would never be able to concentrate enough to levitate a cup. She turned to the next page where the chapter was titled Magic.

I soon reached the Ponyville library on my wings. I hated to descend to the ground, but I knew I wanted to be able to use magic. My hooves touched the ground, and my head spun a little. I wasn't used to flying after I have spent all of my life on the ground.

I knocked a few times on the library door. It was a nice little place; if I do say so myself. I was then greeted by Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh, Prince Big Macintosh!" She greeted, bowing to me. "What do you need?"

I gave her a smile. "You can call me Big Mac." I then folded my wings, which were still spread from flight. "I am here to learn magic."

Twilight suddenly looked really happy. "You want to learn magic from... me?" She questioned as I nodded my head.

"Applejack told me you were a great magician, Twilight."

I saw Twilight flush a little. "She really thinks I'm the right one to teach a prince magic?" I gave her a nod as she pulled me inside her library.

"Well, to learn magic, you have to know the basics first." Twilight then paused for a moment and looked me in the eye. "Didn't you open the curtains at the Summer Sun Celebration?"

I then nodded my head, remembering that I had done that. "Eeyup."

Twilight nodded back. "What did you do?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, a little confused.

"What were you thinking of?"

"Um..." I then thought back to that moment. "I concentrated on opening the curtains and... it happened."

Twilight nodded again. "Well, alicorn magic is stronger than unicorn magic, so it's no mystery that you were able to take to it that quickly." She then put a glass in front of me.

"Try levitating this glass." She suggested. I put all my concentration on it, and felt a nice, cool feeling on my horn. I then opened my eyes, and saw that I was levitating the glass in the air.

"Good. Now, try to move it around." Twilight said. I concentrated harder, and got the glass to move all around the room. I then set it on the table.

"Good!" Twilight remarked. It was a little tiring to do that, but I knew that I would get the hang of it.

"Twilight, will you mind teaching me teleportation?" I asked as Twilight's eyes sparkled.

"Wow. Am I really that good at teleportation that you want to learn from me?"

I smiled. "Eeyup."

Twilight smiled back as she put a book in front of my face.

"Now, read the spell."

I did as she said. I closed the book with my magic when I was done.

"Alright. Now, focus on the area next to my bed, remember what you read, and charge up your horn according to that."

I nodded my head and focused on the area she told me to. I then charged up my horn, letting the warm aura engulf my horn. Once I got as much magic that I could on my horn, I let it go. When I opened my eyes, I was a level above Twilight, right next to her bed.

"Great!" Twilight complimented. "Now, teleport back down here."

I charged up my horn again, and teleported back down. It was a strange sensation, but a cool one none the less.

"You're a natural at this, Big Mac!" Twilight beamed as she put the teleportation book back on the shelf. "Do you want to learn anything else?"

I shook my head. "Nope." I then walked over to the door. "Thanks, Twilight."

"No problem! Feel free to fly by anytime, Big Mac!"

With that, I teleported back to my room, feeling pleased with myself.
