A Self Insert Tale

Getting Used To New Surroundings

Me and Twilight walked around the castle as she looked for Starlight. The castle looks much bigger and prettier than what was shown in the show, which is pretty cool. I also heard Twilight say that Starlight just moved in, so that means that the two of them must have just gone through the events of the Cutie Re-Mark and if that happened then the Friendship Games must have happened too and Twilight saw her human counterpart. Then the Crystaling must be happening very shortly.

“So… We’re going to see Starlight?” I ask Twilight

“Well, I don’t want her to be surprised to see a random and mysterious unicorn in the castle so I thought that it would be a good idea to introduce you to her right now and after that I can teach you some magic spells.”

Unicorn..? I look at the top of my head and I see a horn. Huh, I guess I never realised I was a unicorn until now.

The two of us soon stopped at a door.

“Wait… You never told me your name and I can’t introduce you to her without a name.”

She’s right. I never told her or Spike my name.

“I’m not sure if my name would fit into a world where people are named things like Twilight or Starlight. Is there a possibility that I could use a fake name?’ I ask her

“A fake name? I guess that might work. Hmm, your colors kinda have an ocean theme going on so how about.. Ocean Waves?” Twilight suggests to me

“Ocean Waves, huh. I guess that could work as a name.”

“Great!” Twilight says before knocking on the door behind her. “Starlight are you in there? I want to introduce you to someone.” She turns back to me and says “Don’t worry if she seems a bit shy. We’ve just been through some crazy stuff that I can explain to you later.”

I guess that crazy stuff that Twilight is referring to is what happened in the Cutie Map and the Cutie Re-Mark.

The door opened slightly and I could barely see Starlight peeking through the door.

“Who do you want to introduce me to?” She asks

I step forward and put a hoot out. “Hi, I’m Ocean Waves or well that's the name that Twilight gave me.”

The door opened a bit more, letting me see Starlight better

“Twilight gave you a name? Don't you already have a name?” She asked me confused

“Well, I can explain that. You see, Waves here came from another dimension and inexplicably woke up here awhile ago. She also does have a normal name and Ocean Waves is just a name she can use here until I can get her back home.” Twilight explains

“She’s from another world? That's surely strange. Maybe you try tracking her some spells considering that she’s in the body of a unicorn.”

“That is a good idea Starlight. Well, I’ll see you later.” Twilight says before the two of us walk away.

I’d never thought that I would see the day that I would have to learn a real spell but I guess that day has come.

The two of us soon come across a large door. Twilight opens the door to reveal the Castle Library. It’s much bigger than what I originally thought.

“Let’s see here.” Twilight says as she picks up several books with her magic “Ooh, what about a shield spell? Or maybe an attacking spell? There's so many spells for you to learn but so little time!” Twilight says as she flips through several spell books

“Uhh, Twilight?”

“Yes, Waves?”

“Can I just learn some of the more simple spells? I feel like learning a bunch of spells at once might tire me out and plus I haven’t even been in this body for a whole day yet.”

“Oh, right. Sorry about that. I just get so excited sometimes when it comes to spells. I guess we should start out first with a simple levitation spell. Most unicorns know this spell when they are pretty young so this should be easy.” Twilight picks up a random book from one of the shelves before putting it on the floor. “Just imagine yourself picking up the book and you should pick it up with your magic.”

I close my eyes and I start to imagine myself back when I was a human picking up the book. After a few seconds, I open my eyes back up to see the book which is now coated in a light blue aura floating mid air

“Good Job! Now can you try to move the book around?”

I start to concentrate on moving the book around and soon enough, it starts to move around.

“Great! You’re already looking like a natural. I bet soon enough, we can start working on more advanced magic. I think it’s time we get some food. I’m starting a bit hungry and I bet you are too.

It seems like everything is ok for now. Soon enough I’ll probably have to deal with some problems.
