//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: The Balloonie Alicorn (Rewrite) // by ModernBalloonie //------------------------------// I came back into Twilight's castle, it was nice out there.... Twilight heard the door open and greeted me "Hello, Loonie! How was it outside?" Twilight wondered. "It was cool! It looked really nice out there..." I said. I figured i shouldn't tell her about my little conversation with Luna. "So... it is getting late... I should go to bed. Or study. Not sure." Twilight said. Twilight sure liked her studying, but I was also feeling a bit tired... "Oh, well... I'm feeling a little bit tired... Maybe I should sleep." I said. "Hm, well, Good night, then! Have a nice sleep!" Twilight said. "Alrighty, Guten Nacht." I said. "Uh, what?" Twilight was curious. "Uh, That means good night in German, a language back on earth." I said. "Oh, cool! Anyway, Good night." Twilight said. "Nighty." I said. I trotted over to the room I was using, opening the door with my magic. After a bit of thinking, I got into bed, but... these darn wings, Also my tail. They were getting in the way. I twisted and turned in the bed, trying to wiggle into a position that I felt comfortable in. Then finally, I got comfy, on my side First night as a pony.... I was trying to comprehend it still, The reality of everything that has happened in the past hours, It was crazy, very crazy. Then I drifted to sleep... ~Morning~ I had a dreamless sleep last night, well I mean, I probably had dreams, It's just I don't remember them. Anyway, I got up, And Twilight opened the door, right on time! "Good morning, Loonie! I made breakfast for you and Spike!" Twilight said. "Oh, I'll be right there!" I said. I got up and stretched out, and I finally figured out how to move my wings, my wings somehow had a bit of cramping, even though I had no bones somehow, huh? How does that work? Well... I'm in a magical pony world right now, I shouldn't question anything. I stretched my wings out too and I just let them hang out in a relaxed position, it felt pretty good finally opening them properly, not through inflation means. Though.... maybe I can sneak in one extra pump in me for today? No, people will notice. ...or should I say pony? Whatever. I walked out of the room and looked for the kitchen again, it wasn't too hard as i heard a lot of kitchen noises. I trotted in and tried to wave with one of my hooves, though I ended up losing balance a bit by doing that. Twilight and spike were eating, Twilight waved back, it seems we had pancakes on the table! Twilight set up a plate for me, it looked really good. I sat down at the table and picked up a fork using my magic, and had a bite, It tasted really good actually! "Thank you Twilght! This is really good." I said politely. "No problem! Celestia's recipe!" Twilight said proudly. "She makes it better than me, Anyway, these are pancakes, Loonie." Twilight said. "Well we have pancakes on my world too, it's pretty much the same thing." I replied. "Huh. That's interesting..." Twilight said, then she pulled out a notebook from... nowhere? How do ponies do that? Oh well. Anyway, she wrote something in the notebook and resumed eating. We ended up talking about various different things, Twilight testing my knowledge of this world, she was surprised that I knew as much as I knew but it was clear I needed some more knowledge in my brain. But wait. I'm a balloon. How can I think? I'm an airhead! I have no brain! Oh well. Best not question it. ~After Breakfast~ Huh. Something interesting happened, After breakfast I've been noticing... my belly being a bit bloated. Wait. I remember when I made my balloonie self character, My body would convert food to air, it must be like that here! Ah well, I kinda like being like this anyway, I feel like I'm meant to be puffy. Anyway, I was talking to Twilight after breakfast, and she mentioned that she hasnt told Celestia yet that there is a 6th Alicorn in equestria. So she went to send a letter to her. I spent this time exploring the castle a bit. Its bigger than it looks, the inside that is. And all of a sudden... Twilight comes trotting to me. "Loonie. You, Me, Canterlot, Now." Twilight said in a urgent tone. Oh boy... what's gonna happen now? "W-What?" I stammered. "Am I in trouble?" I wondered. "No, Celestia said she wanted to see you ASAP. But that means... long range teleportation. You might get a little disoriented. Already told spike we need to go, told him to tell all my friends that we need to go. Anyway, are you ready?" Twilight said. This was all happening so fast but... Twilight cannot be tardy. "Alright... let's go." I said. Twilight focused, and touched me on the hoof. She let the purple aura encase us and... bam! Right outside of the throne room in Celestia's castle. I was a bit dizzy... more lightheaded than usual. But I got through it. A guard bowed to Twilight. "Welcome, your highness. The princess has been expecting you and your friend. A stallion in royal guard armor said. "Yes, thank you sir." Twilight said. "My pleasure." the guard said. and he trotted away. "Sorry... guards always treat me extra special around here, I suppose it's fine but it still feels weird. Even after a few years after becoming a Princess." Twilight said. "Well... they usually treat Princesses with respect, eh?" I stated. "I suppose you're right, Also you're talking like someone from Vanhoover." Then she giggled. "Actually... on my world, I come from a city called Vancouver, Coincidence? I think not." I said "Hah! wow! So our worlds locations are alike in some ways! Anyway, we need to see the princess. Lets enter the throne room." Twilight pointed to the big doors. I was a little bit nervous to meet Celestia. It's not a common thing to meet a princess of an entire huge part of a planet, the one who has almost limitless power, Though I know she's nice, I was still a bit nervous. I took a deep breath in, and out. Phew. "I am ready." I said. Then Twilight opened the doors. ~End of chapter 5~
