//------------------------------// // 4: Wings // Story: Trapped In Equestria // by MegaCheesy //------------------------------// Who knew Twilight could become the Princess of Friendship because I did, but I never knew all of these events could happen in a year. Twilight managed to stop the cutie mark crisis and became an alicorn, which I knew would happen. I'm currently laying in bed with Twilight, who had her wings wrapped around me. I didn't mind at all, I enjoyed it. This makes me think. Is there something more to our relationship? I've been sleeping with her for months and she hasn't said anything! I've certainly seen her blush at my antics more than once, but she won't fully admit it. There's another thing, Midnight called me 'dad' once... Mainly in her notebook I never pictured myself being a dad. I always pictured myself to be alone without anyone loving me, dying alone... Yeesh, way to kill the mood, Nate. I turned to Twilight, kissing her forehead lightly. Twilight's body lets go of her wing filled prison and releases me, I could finally get out of bed. I got out of bed, feeling a rush of fatigue. I glance over to my bag, remembering what I was like before I came to Equestria. I was a sad boy. I was done with what life kept throwing at me, causing me to spiral into sadness. I could mainly blame my school for my given sadness, but I know it wasn't the full answer. I was the reason... It's in the past. No use crying over spilled milk, or whatever. I know I won't be able to return to earth, which majorly sucks, but I'll just have to live with it. I walk out of the room into the royal hallways. I hear singing of some sorts. My curiosity has peaked, I wonder who that is? I walked further down to see where the melody had been produced. I looked over at the balcony to see Celestia, singing her heart out. I was unsure about the situation, I have met Celestia before. I'm more casual around her, which she seems to enjoy. She doesn't want to be made out to be a goddess or anything like that, I'd rather have a nice conversation and call her nicknames. "Celestia..." I said approaching the un-aging mare. She had finished her song and turned to me, yet to my surprise, she was crying. The mare that only showed calming smiles was crying, right in front of me. Her face became wary, as she wiped away her tears. "Nate, why are you up?" "I would ask the same for you, but you're currently dealing with emotions that nopony will help you with. You're only giving caring faces, while not receiving any for yourself." I said while approaching the white alicorn. "Nate, I do not wish to make you wor-" "This is about Sunset, isn't it?" Celestia's face was slightly unnerved, questioning my knowledge. "How do you know about my former student?" Welp, it's time to reveal the truth, yay... "Where I come from, all of Equestria is fiction. I know about your troubles, Celestia," I paused and took a breath; "I'm only trying to help, whether it's about Luna or Shimmer. I will help you..." I walked to the mindblown Celestia and hugged her. I had a great deal of respect for Celestia, she managed to keep this place from burning to the ground. Yet, she struggles. "Thank you, Nate. I have many questions. I assume they will be answered at some point." "Yeah, but I don't want to reflect on my old life right now." Celestia nodded, seemingly understanding my situation. Celestia returned the hug. Her large wings wrapped around my tall figure. I don't know what happened, but there was a large flash, which Celestia didn't even notice. What the hell happened? I didn't bother to question anything. Celestia let go of me and went off to somewhere. I wanted to flop down on my mattress, I don't have any reason to stay up anymore. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I walk back to the temporary room, expecting the new alicorn Twilight to still be asleep. Not the case, though. Twilight was looking around frantically, but she was definitely pissed off. I ran over to Twilight, trying to know about the situation. "Twilight, what happened?" I asked, calming her down a bit. "Somepony came in and stole my crown. I need to-" Twilight stopped dead in her tracks, she was staring directly at me now. "What's wrong?" "Nate, you have wings... Your whole body is surrounded by white magic..." Huh? I look at my sides, and what do you know... There are two large, white wings sticking out of my back. My body engulfed in a white magic. "Hot damn! You're right!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight just left to go after Sunset Shimmer, leaving me behind. I actually didn't want to go, I might be turned into a pony if I go in the mirror. I still have no idea how I have alicorn magic in my system, Midnight was even more impressed. I figured it had something to do with that flash earlier, but maybe something else may have caused this. Celestia is examining me, who has no such luck on finding an answer. I don't really mind the magic, but I have no idea how to use it. "Nate. Have you tried doing anything with your magic yet?" I shrugged. "No, but I'll try something." I'm trying to copy someone's ability. Mainly from my favorite fictional works. I planned on copying something from Jojo's Bizzare Aventure, Hermit Purple. I imagined the stand, which currently sprouted out of my right arm. The normally purple stand was now a matching white with my magic. The spiked stand surprised Celestia, who had no idea what a stand was. "What is that?" Celestia was curious. I pointed to Hermit Purple. "This is Hermit Purple, a power from a fictional world. I imagined it, and it appeared out my right arm." Celestia was interested in this 'Hermit Purple', but I was curious if I can use Hamon too. I imagined the power of the Ripple, while electrical magic sprouting from my body. I guess that confirms my suspicions. This is fucking rad!
