I awoke to a bright light shining in my eye. Wait, bright light? I jolted up, only to hear an 'ouch' coming from so where nearby. Pixel. Who else. I stood up and squinted, and then managed to make out a red pony lying on the floor, levitating a torch all the while.

"Why... Why were you trying to blind me?" My voice turned into a growl.

Pixel stood up, attempting to tower over me. It didn't really work, considering I was a good 5 inches taller than him. I looked at him, and he immediatley shrunk back down, shivering all the while.

"Errm... Well, you did have a plasma beam inspired by the greatest unicorn Twilight Sparkle, may she rest in peace, based on the effect of-"

"Spare me the details."

"-well basically you were shot by a big laser beam and I was checking that you weren't hurt."

I blinked. The memories of the fight became more vivid in my mind, even though it was a short one. He really was a terrible opponent.

"YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ALMOST BROKE YOUR SPINE! GO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF!"

Pixel laughed.

"You really don't know anything, do you?" He continued to laugh, making me want to punch him even more. But I know better than to hurt a cripple. "You have to be the stupidest pony I've ever met! I thought at least you'd know a talented unicorn when you saw one!"

Okay, now he is pissing me off. This guy really doesn't know who he's messing with... Flattering himself like that... I kept my cool, trying not to blow.

"Aaaaand the award for the biggest self-appreciating pony goes to Pixel." Well, I never said I wouldn't get him back.

"Alright heartless filly, just look at my horn"

I was too shocked at the odd flirt to reply, and before a could protest, Pixel lowered himself and bowed his head. I knew better than to think he wanted me to... Yeah... So I looked at his horn, like he had asked me to. It was red, like the rest of his body, but it was just red, it wasn't covered by red fur. I began to breathe more rapidly, and I reached out and touched it. It was stone cold. I took a step back, fairly shocked by his over-used, as it seemed, horn.

"When I was just a colt, I accidentally cast a spell that allowed me to create sonic blasts. It has different effects, every time a perform one, but on the rare occasion, it heals every bone in my body somehow. I guess I'm just lucky.

Lucky? Ha ha ha. Seriously, it's probably just some fake trick... Thing to make him look good! Don't trust this geezer. It's literally impossible! Sure magic is a strange thing, but surgically or magically, Anypony would die Trying to perform a sonic blast. Why-

"Would you just shut up for a second?"

"But, I wasn't-"

I slumped to the ground. I should've known it was him. Sure I recognised his name from somewhere, but it was impossible to tell it was him up until now.

"Are... Are you okay, Arell?"

I realised he was talking to me.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine... It's nothing... Anyway, I better go. See ya, Dicksel!"

I didn't think I needed to say much more. I grabbed what I needed from all around the house, especially a LOAD of caffeine (caffeine is love, caffeine is life), and I left the house. It wasn't a big deal, in fact, I think Pixel was probably still sitting there, probably not understanding what was going on.
