"Great job Rainbow! That, thing you just did with the wings was super- ok I can't pretend to care anymore..." You said, turning to Twilight on your left.
The two of you sat in an open field just outside of Ponyville, watching Rainbow Dash practice her aerial what-nots. You had been out here for two hours already, doing noting but watching loop-the-loops and soooooo many barrel-rolls that even Peppy would want her to stop. Star Fox references aside your patience was wearing thin, not knowing how many more of the almost exact-same tricks you could watch before you attempted to bludgeon yourself to death with Twilight's book. You figured two more tricks would do it.
"What do you mean Anon, I thought that you liked sports?" Twilight asked, confused that you were so tired of Rainbow's display.
"Yeah, REAL Sports! Like baseball, football, and water polo!" You exclaim whilst throwing your arms above your head to exaggerate your point. However, your motions caught the attention of Rainbow Dash mid-trick, causing her to crash headfirst into a cloud.
Looking up at the now stuck Rainbow Dash, her hind legs attempting to push herself out of the cloud she was embedded in, you started to laugh. The joke was cut short when the cloud began to darken and swirl overhead, condensing not an ominous storm cloud. Not liking the looks of the way electricity was arcing across the cloud, you decided to abandon your friends to save your own hide, like the true coward survivor you were. Jumping to your feet you started to run away, looking behind yourself you noticed a bolt of lightning heading straight towards you.
"Oh cra-" was all you were able to let out before the electric spear hit you right in the forehead, sending you flying ten feet backwards and knocking you unconscious.
Waking up a few hours later you found yourself in a clean, bright hospital room. Your head was killing you and you felt a throb of pain hit you when you sat up to look around, noticing that all of your stuff was lying on a chair across the room. Looking at your pants you remembered you had a pocket-full of almonds, suddenly feeling a deep craving for the salty treats just a few feet away. Leaning forward and throwing your hand forward like you watching tv and the remote was on the table,but was *just* out of reach so you helplessly stretched in a vain attempt to grab the object.
Except when you did this at your pants they came flying across the room, hitting you in the face and covering your head.
"What the WHAT?!" You exclaim, confused as to how you were able to get your jimmies.
Pinching yourself and taking a quick look around to make sure this wasn't some elaborate prank Luna created, you were shocked to not find yourself waking up. That only meant that what happened was real, and not somepony's doing because there was a lack of the colorful aura that usually accompanied telekinesis spells. Giving another quick look around to make sure there was defiantly nopony messing with you (or watching), you reached out with your mind again. This time you directed your focus at pulling a chair towards you, an idea you found to be a mistake as it came flying through the air directly at you. Barely moving out of the way of the flying furniture you were caught unaware when the room door opened, revealing Nurse Redheart with a clipboard in her mouth.
"I see your awa- wait, why is there a chair on your bed?" She asked, her voice muffled by the clipboard in her mouth.
"I wanted to take a seat, while lying down... Yeah, that's it!" You quickly fabricate, feeding her the lie with as much conviction as you could. You were not a good liar, but your mom said that was a good thing. Whatever.
"Ok... Well, since you're awake I suppose you can go. Once you sign the proper paperwork of course!" Redheart added, a small smile forming as she laid the clipboard on your hospital bed.
You signed the release forms and gathered your belongings, re-donning your iconic suit and red tie. You exited the hospital, thanking the medical staff as you passed them on your way to the exit. Once outside you looked down at your hands, somehow that lightning bolt not only didn't kill you, but gave you some cool power to move things with your mind. All of the years of running around with plastic lightsabers and making *whoosh* sounds with your mouth immediately coming to the forefront of your memories.
"By Obi-wan's beard, I have the force. I HAVE THE FORCE!" You bellowed out, startling nearby ponies and drawing a lot of confused and annoyed looks to yourself. Embarrassed you decided to lay-low and make your way back to Twilight's, without any more outbursts like that one. You may have gotten the force, but you didn't get rid of your social anxiety.
Slamming the door to the library behind you, you took a moment to lean back against it and catch your breath. You were really out of shape, a simple mile walk leaving you extremely winded. But none of that mattered now that you had 'the force', deciding to change the name later to not have this confused with a Star Wars crossover fic to something cooler. After having recomposed yourself you cupped your hands around your mouth and let out a loud call to Twilight.
"WHERE MY PURP-SMARTS AT?!" You bellowed, the sound traveling into the farthest depths of the library.
"Sweet Celestia, you don't need to be so loud! I'm right here Anon" Twilight said, uncovering her ears from your verbal assault.
"Peep this Twilight!" You announced before focusing on the clock mounted to the wall across the room.
Focusing your mind on it you were able to pull it off the wall and float it over to where you and Twilight were standing, placing it into your hands and handing it to a very confused Twilight. Turning to Twilight you wiggled your eyebrows at her proudly, you thought you did an amazing job of not attacking yourself with the clock.
"W-what, how did- But you can't- Huh?" Twilight let out in a confused bursts of questions to your newfound power.
"Yeah, pretty impressive huh? I'm like a wizard now. Time flies when your learning new things" you said, already regretting your tacky pun after saying it.
"How in Tartarus did you develop telekinesis?!" Twilight asked as she began levitating various scientific instruments to her.
"Tele-what-now? You mean this?" You asked as you picked her up with your power and floated her around, the startled Twilight's eyes shrinking in fright as you made airplane sounds.
"P-put me down!" Twilight exclaimed, her plea going unheard as you played with your new action figure.
"Dive bomb!" You let out as you continued to be unaware of Twilight's fear.
"Anon!" Twilight said a bit louder, but still going unheard.
"AND HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST!" You bellowed, terrifying Twilight as she let out one last plea.
"ANON!" She shrieked at almost ear-bleading level, drawing you from your silly game and back to the terrified unicorn in your grasp.
"S-sorry, I kinda got carried away" you said, not intending to make a pun, but mentally high-fifing yourself for it.
You placed a very scared Twilight back on the ground gently, her legs shaking as she touched the ground again. Her mane and tail were frayed with panic while she breathed quickly, you had really scared her. Great job Anon, you idiot.
Taking a step closer you scratched Twilight behind the ear, helping to calm her down as she enjoyed your soothing attention. After a while of ear-scratching and calming words, Twilight was successfully returned to normal. Or, at least as normal as Twilight got.
"How did you get telekinesis Anon, you never showed any magical properties before?" Twilight asked as she re-levitated the science equipment towards you, recording data as she spoke.
"Well, I was with you guys in that field when I got hit by a lightning bolt. When I woke up I could move things with my mind!" You explained enthusiastically, enjoying your newfound power.
Your conversation was cut short when there came a frantic knocking at the door, looking to Twilight you shrugged and walked over to open the door. You stopped half-way there however, remembering that you never needed to manually open a door ever again. Smiling you focused on the door and opened it with your telekinesis, revealing a winded and worried Nurse Redheart standing outside. Confused you walked over to the mare, Twilight joining you at the door as well.
"Hey, what's up Nurse Joy?" You asked, confused as to why she would be here with such a worried look on her face.
"I-I Ha-have some terrible n-news" she said, beginning to get her breathing under control. "It's about your brain" she finished, now completely composed.
"Well what's the news doc?" You asked, becoming increasingly worried as to the severity that caused Nurse Redheart to run all the way to the library.
"We believe that you only have about an hour before your brain grows too large and explodes, I'm sorry" she explained rapidly, causing you to immediately get serious. This was serious.
"I-I only have an.... an hour?" You ask incredulously, not believing what Nurse Redheart had said to be true. You just got telekinesis, your brain couldn't explode now!
"I'm afraid so, there's nothing we can do for you" Nurse Redheart said, her voice trailing off as she looked away, clearly uncomfortable with having to deliver this news.
"M-maybe I know a spell that can help, or we could contact Celesta. She has to know of something to do, we can save you Anon!" Twilight rambled on, but you were too busy coping with the fact that your beautiful brain was about to go all JFK on you.
"T-thanks Redheart" you said void of emotion, the mare turning and leaving with a last silent 'I'm sorry'.
"We have to work quickly, we have to-" Twilight said, but was stopped when you put a single finger against her lips. Her eyes looking down at your digit, then back up at you, large tears beginning to form.
"Twilight, you heard the nurse. There's nothing we, or anybody, can do. You just have to accept it and move on" you say as soothing as you can, fighting back tears of your own.
"B-but-" Twilight started to protest, but was silenced when you bent down and took her into an embrace. Her salty tears wetting your shoulder as she cried into you.
"I know..." You said, letting a few of your own tears fall onto her back. You only had one thing left to do now, an old saying your father had taught you.
"Twilight, I have something I need to do. Would you like to come with me?" You ask, pulling yourself away and looking her in the eyes. Her eyes continuing to spill tears as she gave you a small nod.
"C'mon, lets go" you said, standing and opening the door. Turning back to Twilight you gave her the biggest smile you could muster, you didn't want to see her cry.
You walked outside the library with a teary Twilight trailing behind you as you made your way to Sweet Apple Acres, knowing that it was harvest time for the Apple family's farm. You had a great idea as what to do with your power in your final moments. You could hear your father's words of wisdom echoing in your head.
"If your brain is ever about to exlode, make sure you do something big that'll help someone on a farm" the etherial voice said, slowly fading away after mentioning the classic phrase you had learned as a child. Man, your dad really did have some strangely specific advice.
Pushing these questions from your head and not forcing the author to solve them you finally crested the hill and entered Sweet Apple Acres, home to the nicest country bumpkins you had ever met. Walking up to the small house you gave a few swift knocks against the old wood door, the sound carrying throughout the fields as you waited for somepony to answer the door. Finally the door was opened by one of the youngest apples, Applebloom.
"Howdy Anon, what can I do fer ya?" She asked in her adorable western accent whilst wiping sleep from her eyes.
"I'm here to harvest all your apples, I was making sure that nopony was in the fields" you explained, not wanting to harm anypony with your plan.
"No, nopony's out there, feel free to harves- WAIT! YOU'RE GONNA HARVEST ALL THE APPLES!" She shrieked out, waking the other Apples as they began to join the three of you on the ground floor.
"Eyup" you said, trying your best to mimic the stoic line Big Macintosh always said. Like the only thing he said, never anything else.
"Eynope" Big Mac said behind Applebloom, clearly not amused with your attempt.
"Whatever, just come outside and watch!" You called out as you stepped off of the porch and faced the stretching fields of apple trees before you, gathering your focus.
Taking a deep breath you pictured a giant net in your mind at the farthest point at the other end of the orchard, making sure it was wide enough to stretch the entire way across. Maintaining focus you began to pull the 'net' towards you, noticing the tops of the trees bending and snapping back as your mental harvester passed through them. As you continued to pull it closer and closer, you heard the happy voice of Applebloom speak up.
"Holy cow! Anon really is harvesting all tha apples!" She squared out in glee as she bounced around in circles.
"Well I'll be, he really is!" Applejack remarked, removing her hat in respect of the powerful being you were (for the next few minutes).
"Eyup" Big Mac said, the tiniest of smiles gracing his lips as he watched.
"Huh? What?" Granny Smith said, not quite understanding what was happening.
When you had reached the end of the orchard all of the apples were held in your telekinetic net floating overhead, the weeks worth of harvested apples suspended in the air. Quickly the apples rushed into the barn and began to fill buckets with the harvest, overjoyed at the lack of work that needed to be done in the hot sun. However, you could feel your end approaching and when all the apples were loaded you walked away from the celebrating ponies. You stood there, watching them hoot and holler, glad that you could have spread that much joy on a Tuesday. You couldn't seem to spot Twilight, but didn't worry about it. She was probably dealing with your imminent brain-splosion in her own pony way. You sat down, leaning your back against one of the empty apple trees, enjoying the smell of the orchard. Smiling you felt you head open like a hatched dome, your brain floated out and hovered at eye-level.
"Goodbye" it said before exploding, sending a small splash of sparks.
"ghasfr am adfnijasn" you garbled, watching the firework that was your mind as you felt yourself drift off into the land of eternal slumber.
"Sleep tight, sweet prince" you heard the soothing voce of Morgan Freeman God say as you were surrounded in a bright light.
THE END.
