//------------------------------// // A Heart's Meaning // Story: Magic of the Heart // by Narchu Pikana //------------------------------// Magic Of The Heart Prologue: A Heart’s Meaning How does one measure the purity of ones heart? Do you by the actions they do from day to day? Could you figure it out with the one saintly task that sets them apart? Most believe that a heart is nothing more then the organ that keeps blood flowing. While others see it more deeply, as the part of you that feels love, hate, even holds ones dreams and memories. Do you deep down hold those in your heart like you say? Or is the expression nothing more then that, a expression? That is mostly on how you see it. But the one thing that everyone can agree on, the heart is a powerful part of ones body. “HI TWILIGHT!!!” “AH!?” The purple alicorn was snapped out of her book she was reading by the sudden surprise by her friend. The book fell to the floor with a light thud as the unicorns magic no longer floated it in front of her. She snapped her head toward the pink pony starring at her from across the table in the library built in the tree. “Pinkie what’s going on? You could’ve given me a heart attack!” She blurted out but trying to remain civil with her harsh tone. “Oh, sorry Twi, I just came to invite you to a party I’m planning later!” She should have guessed. “I’m having a special celebration for Hearts and Hooves day today!” Pinkie Pie began to bounce around happily before giving her friend a invitation looking a lot like what we may call a Valentines card. Twilight took it with her magic and looked at it then nodded her head. “Thanks Pinkie I believe I should be able to show up. Just let me finish with this book and I’ll head over to Sugarcube Corner. The Princess actually asked me to do some research on the heart. Apparently she wants me to look into some mumbo jumbo about how the hearts can hold memories and stuff like that. Not sure why she of all ponies would believe in that. Everypony knows that you keep your emotions and memories really in the mind with a elaborate…” Twilight Sparkle was cut off as she picked up her book with a picture of a cartoon heart illustrated on the front of it. “Oh I know something about the heart! The heart makes a good rhythm just like a drum! Bum bum! Bum bum!” She began imitating the sound with a slow tempo speeding up now and again to make it sound like music. In fact she began dancing around the room to the beat. Her friend rolled her eyes but laughed a bit clopping her hooves together to the beat. To her this was a little silly but she expected nothing different from her friend. Pinkie kept dancing until she was out the door. Twilight lifted the book back up but watched her friend and yelled out to her, “I should be there in about a hour!” She laughed a little more to herself before shutting the door with her magic. She turned back to her book and began to read, “In many cases the heart is meant to also house ones feelings for their family and friends.” She paused for a moment thinking about her friends, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and her baby dragon assistant Spike. She dropped the book, quickly put a saddle bag on and ran out the door she opened. “Pinkie Pie hold on! I’m coming!” She yelled with a smile.
