Walking into the rather small room I noticed there was a couple of books sprawled over the floor as Starlight went to a desk to the left of the room, I also noticed she had a bed next to the window as a couple of apple cores sitting in a trash can next to me. I walked forwards the open window providing a small breeze as I shivered from the winds contact onto my fur, slightly tilting my head I faced Starlight as she was using her magic to levitate books down to her and set them on the table. I slowly walked over to the table inspecting her carefully trying to pick up on how to use magic but she didn’t really give me any hints she seemed to be doing it effortlessly. Starlight seemed to be quickly looking over book titles trying to find the one topic I had asked about, I didn’t want to interrupt her so I stood by idly. Starlight in the meantime was mumbling book names under her breath
“Magic for Dummies, Cooking is Magic: A Guide to Great Food, Equestrian History Version 2.53, The Key to World Domina- Got It! Magical Theory in Multi-Dimensional Travel, should be a whole list of potential spells we can use” She said quickly levitating the other books she just mentioned into the air and places them back onto the shelf neatly, Placing the book full of theorem on the table. I looked at her with slight confusion sure she said she had saw something but I didn’t think she actually owned one, the book on world domination also worried me a little even if I knew she wasn’t gonna do anything too bad. I took a glance over at the book I didn’t quite understand a lot of what it was saying I never considered myself a genius but I knew some advanced concepts. Starlight began quickly skimming over sentences in the book muttering under her breath stepping backwards I looked around the room once more.
“I should probably give her some space” I thought not wanting to disturb Starlight from her deep reading, I slowly walked over to the bed on the other side of the room staring out of the open window looking at the town below with slight awe. The wind was lightly blowing my mane to the side “I never thought it would look so… real” I said a little bit surprised at the sight before me sure I had seen it on various episodes before but this was no longer a cartoon. I was staring out the window for what seemed like hours as I was processing the view into my brain It was a tiny bit overwhelming. Suddenly my attention was broken away from the town when I heard something.
It was Starlight she was starting to yell. “Twilight! I think I found the spell you wanted”. I was reasonably shocked at this outcome so much so that I almost fell backwards. After nearly falling I walked around the bed once more to look at the book. Starlight began to speak again “It says it’s a really complex spell I’m not sure if why’d you would want to do this”.
I began to look over the spell it had a couple of steps but I understood what it wanted me to do. I was really nervous since I still hadn’t figured out how to use any magic. “I have to make some sort of excuse there is no way I could do this” I thought before turning to Starlight I tried to calm down to seem more convincing “Starlight, I want you to try the spell I sure you can do it”.
Starlight was looking at me in surprise “You want me to do it? I don’t know but if you want me to try I’ll see what I can do”. She began to move around the room drawing tiny circles around various points on the ground each one written in white chalk soon she stopped as there was a total of 8 circles and she stood in the middle. Her horn flared to life with a teal aura as each of the small circles lit up with the same coloration creating pillars of light it was blinding so I staggered back a slight bit trying to cover my eyes with a hoof. The room began to rumble slightly I couldn’t see much but a huge white line appear in the room as the rumbling began to intensify.
I began to shake, I was scared of what was happening I didn’t know much about magic but this seemed like some sort of demonic ritual in my haste I stepped inside the circle of magic which warped one of the pillars of light before I could react everything seemed to explode propelling myself and Starlight into the bed frame. “Ugh…” I groaned being in pain but stood up again trying to assess what happened the room was covered in some sort of paper? A loud noise pierced through my brain like a bullet causing my ears to ring. Starlight was next to me on the ground still I was beginning to get worried the room was starting to calm down and I could actually start to hear somewhat.
A pink pony looked at me from on top of a little blue canon it was silent for a moment like a very old fashioned showdown I was a bit slow connecting the dots “I mean my brain was probably scrambled by that explosion but that’s definitely Pinkie Pie the confetti the party cannon and she’s pink!” I thought trying to gather myself usually Pinkie Pie had a keen eye for the strange and I didn’t want to give anything away.
Pinkie Pie began to talk in a really breakneck pace and it was hard to keep up in my daze. “Oh hello Twilight I was just talking about you and I was about to throw the bestest super duper get well surprise party for you right after throwing Gummy his 5th anniversary party!”. She was waving her hoof around trying to accentuate what she was talking about. To me it just sounded like a bunch of gibberish.
I shook my head again and looked up at Pinkie Pie trying to quiet her down “Uhm.. Pinkie can you not speak so loud”. I said holding a hoof on my head it was still pounding from the loud explosion. I was looking at Pinkie Pie “How did she even get here? Where was she before that explosion?” I thought before writing it off as nonsense there was no point in making sense of Pinkie anyways.
Pinkie Pie began to whisper “Sorry were you doing something?” she whispered while doing that weird hopping thing to bounce over me. She had a smile on her face trying her best to stay quiet her cheeks filling up like a balloon before she let it all out again this time I could actually process what she was saying “Well I was going to save this for the party but I guess I could give it to you now!” She reached a hoof into her poofy mane and pulled out a whole cake setting it down in front of me.
I looked down at it noticing it had several pink hairs I pushed it away smiling awkwardly “Never mind that can you help me with Starlight over there” I said pointing over to her with a hoof she still wasn’t moving and I was starting to get worried.
