//------------------------------// // Special // Story: Alicorns and Creatures // by Alvaxerox //------------------------------// The next morning Twilight woke up and as she stretched her arms. She saw some scratches on her bare body. That night Twilight and Spike shaded unbelievable. Buy she didn't seem to mind. She used her powers to heal herself of the scratches. She went to go shower, and then she put back on her Red Guardian suit, she likes wearing it. It still makes her feel powerful. Plus Rarity Promised that she'll make her some nice normal clothes soon. Twilight called for Spike but was nowhere. He left a note on the front door. 'Dear Twilight, I went to go visit my mother in Canterlot, but I promise to be back later. Love Spike. P.S. thanks for playing Uno with me last night, and playing red guardians with you.' Twilight smiled. She wasn't shocked that she fell in love with a 5'7 tall, talking dragon. She went back upstairs and decided to read some of Spike's comic books. There was one in particular she liked. She was reading the Power Ponies. And today's issue was about a superhero name Masked Matterhorn and how she battled the villainess High Heel. Twilight have seen action in her spare time back at the guardian academy. Later after Twilight finished the comic. She went outside to see what she can do. She waved at some ponies, a few waved and little bit of them were kinda nervous cause she's an alien. Twilight decided to go visit Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres. Twilight waved at Applejack. "Howdy Twilight. What brings you here." Applejack asked. "Spike's out of town for a little while. And I like to see your family." Twilight said. "You talk about them sometimes. But I never seen them. And I've been here for almost a month." "That's because Big Mac was with Granny Smith visting Applebloom in Manehatten." Applejack explained. "Applebloom and her friends went to go visit cousin Babs Seed. Their coming back today." "What do Big Mac, Applebloom and Granny Smith do to help the barn." Twilight asked. "Well we all buck apples to make Apple cider and whoa nelly! Everypony loves out special cider. It helps pay the barn. When we're not selling cider. We just do chores and just relax for a while. Granny Smith knits, Big Macintosh does boxing. And Applebloom... well..." Applejack was feeling kinda saying what Applebloom does. "Applebloom and her friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo formed a special forces team and call themselves-" "Crusaders?" Twilight guessed.. "No. They haven't been called Crusaders ever since they discovered their cutie marks." Applejack said. Twilight was now confused. "Cutie marks? What are those?" She asked. Applejack was surprised. But in Twilight's defence, she's a human. "Well... I guess you don't have them back on earth. Cutie marks are a symbol of your special talent. Some ponies discovered them at a young age. Ponies that don't have them, are considered blank flanks. The cutie marks appear in the left and side of our flanks. Applejack lifted her shorts upward a bit to show her cutie mark. "Whoa..." Twilight said in awe. "So it's kinda like a magic tattoo, or some kind of magical lateblooming birthmark." She theorized. "Uh... Ah... guess so...?" Applejack was a little confused of what Twilight reference with cutie marks. "Well anyways. After Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo discovered their cutie marks but saving some ponies from a creature called a chimera-" "A chimera? As in... a mixture of a lion, a goat and a snake in one body?" Twilight asked shockfully. "Uh... yeah?" Applejack replied. "I read about Greek mythical creatures, but they were just fictional." Twilight said. "Look Twilight. We have different types of creatures here in Equestria. Their all real." Applejack explained. "The girls saved Ponyville from the Chimera, and they were called heroes. When they discovered they cutie marks, they've realized helping others was their special talent. They were given special gives. Applebloom's was a some kind of magic staff. Scootaloo's was some magic gloves. And Sweetie Belle's was a magic bracelet. Together they agreed that from now on, they'll protect Ponyville as the Applebloomers." Twilight chuckled for a while. "Applebloomers? So what, Applebloom is the leader?" Applejack raised a brow. "Pretty much." "So their young superheroes." Twilight realized. " I like to see them soon. Let me know if they come back." Twilight waved Applejack goodbye. Applejack waved back. As Twilight was about to go back to the treebary. Rarity was calling her. "Twilight!" "Oh, why Rarity. What's wrong?" Twilight asked as she look at an upset Rarity. "I was wondering... I noticed that Spike was back in town. And it's been forever since we've seen him." Rarity said. "Oh yeah. I did met Spike. He's a nice guy." Twilight said as she smiles. "Oh... so you did. What did you two do yesterday?" Rarity asked. "Well we read some comics books... I told him my entire origin story. And he had fun around Ponyville." Twilight explained... "Hey here he comes now. Hi Spike." Spike walked up to Twilight. "Hey Twilight. How's it going?" Spike turned his head to Rarity. "Oh hi Rarity. Long time, no see. I forgot to mention that I came back." "Hi Spikey-wikey. You've met Twilight Sparkle. The Red Guardian from another world." Twilight was starting to get a little upset. "Oh yeah. We had a blast yesterday. She is awesome." "You didn't by any chance... play at the beach right?" Rarity asked. "We did." Spike answered. "Swimmed for while. Then we splashed each other and then-" "You kissed her." Rarity said. Twilight and Spike were shocked. "WHAT?!" They said. "I saw you too kissing on the beach. It was very romantic." Rarity said. "Did you... spy on us?" Spike asked. "I was. Why would you kiss a human. And as for you Twilight, according to Lyra Heartstrings, if a human dates a creature like a pony or a dragon is considered bestiality?" "You thought we... oh hell no Rarity. We didn't do it. We were playing UNO and role-playing Red Guardians like I use to do with my brother. I can't believe you would be jealous of that." "Jealous... mua? No way." Rarity said. "If you would like to know... Spikey-poo here used to have a crush on me." Twilight was shocked. "Spike is that true?" Spike's face was turning red. "Kinda yeah. But later on I got over her." "He was my servant for a long time." Rarity said. "You considered me like a little brother. That's when I got over my crush on you." Spike said. "Your just jealous that you didn't open your eyes on me. Yes I kissed Twilight. I've fell in love with her." "I love him too." Twilight said. "And if you can't accept that. Then I guess it's finders keepers!" As Spike, Twilight and Rarity bicker and argue, everypony was running and screaming. The 3 caught their attentions and noticed something was wrong. A ball of fire landed into where Twilight, Spike and Rarity were. The smoke cleared and someone was walking towards them and then stopped as it got close to Rarity. He was wearing a red guardian uniform but he had a dark blue aure around him. "Long time no see... Twilight Sparkle. I've finally found you." He said. "Twilight, is he a red guardian?" Rarity asked as she was feeling fear. Twilight started to nod. "...Brickburg Jones?" To be continued...
