The Mysterious Silver Heart
Leo now stared at the mares before him one eyebrow raised with his ears flat to his head. The ponies didn't notice as the five of them continued to plot out the whole unusual shenanigans.
"Why you girls do this to her?" He stated simply.
Today, in Carousel Boutique. The lion with the rest of the mane minus one was prepared some odd scheme for a certain pegasus with a rainbow mane. The ladies have readied it but the 14-year-old lion doesn't like where it going.
"Because her egos gotten out of control that's why." Twilight huffed as Rarity worked to fit her for the costume.
"Seriously her head swelled up like a balloon in there." Pinkie Pie added. "And trust me I know balloons."
"Of course you do." Leo raised an eyebrow at that before looking at the yellow pegasus with concern while she was helping to fit Pinkie. "Fluttershy...?"
"Well, she did save that foal...and the other foal. And the old ponies..." Fluttershy admitted. "But don't you think she might have taken it a bit too far?"
"She just does what she always does!"
"She was talking like she was some kinda superhero or something." Applejack muttered before looking at him. "Like you, but not with the ego part."
The lion groans slightly. "I'm not a superhero. I'm just a lion who can manipulate some types of elements."
"And a lion who can divide into three lions with the same body build, each has its power to wield?" Twilight added.
"...okay. Apart from that, but she just saves a pony! What kind of you girls think about her?"
"She such boasting, just because she saved some ponies does not make her better than the rest of us.” Rarity stated which make Leo sighed.
The bandana lion only slapped both his paws to his face with a growl before he looked at Twilight, trying one last time to get them to stop this.
"Sis! This is wrong! You guys could hurt her feeling!"
"Wrong? How can this go wrong?" Twilight questioned, not looking up from the intricate plans and checklists before her she had jumped headfirst into this with great gusto. "Besides, this is not hurting her emotion but to give her a lesson. Once more, I can teleport us in and out as need be to get there before Rainbow Dash does. Showing her what a real superhero can do will prove that she's not the only one who can be a hero and she needs to reign it in."
The unicorn then notices her brother was feeling down on the verge of tears, looks like he failed. Quickly, the sister then sighed and wiped out some tiny soak in his eyes while patting him. "It will be fine, we're not hurting her like a mafia or other stuff. Trust your big sister, okay?"
Leo blinked staring at his sister. She was far too interested in her plots and plans while realized making her brother feel this makes her awful. "Fine..."
Now Pinkie Pie who not at the level of the verge of tears. "Whaaaaa!!! So touched!"
"Such an outstanding sibling, Twilight." Rarity remarked.
"Oh, I am. He sometimes been dramatic, or been a baby that's all."
".......You know I'm still here right, sis?"
An hour later, the ponies having ready with their costume. Now looking like a pony dressed in a garish purple cap and a dark blue cloak. With five of them exactly, who exit the shop, leaving the golden lion behind.
"You sure don't wanna come alone?" One of the figures said only received a shook from the lion. "Alright, we see you soon."
With the door shut, Leo now laying on the floor. "Hm... I trust sis plan. But it can go dozen occasionally that have half per cent will succeed. Or I just too worried about my friends?"
Just then, an idea popped up in his brain. Then his smile widen. "Maybe I could join them in a different character!"
Uh......
"What we're trying to say is," said Twilight, with her face reveal but not her body. "it's great to be really good at something, but it's important to act with grace and humility."
The athlete pegasus just looked down at herself for a moment. "Ohhhh, that makes loads more sense." She then took to the skies and hovered above them,
"Yeah. You're right. And I guess I should've also acted with grace and humility when others outshine me. Like Mare Do Well." Rainbow Dash said as she then took to the skies and hovered above them while the others smiled in agreement. "Say... Where's Leo?"
Twilight was about to say to the blue pegasus when a sparkle of dust coming from the skies, confusing the mares except for the pink one.
"WOW, Dashie! I never knew there's raining shiny dust from the cloud!" Pinkie jump excited.
"It's beautiful." Fluttershy awe.
"It's fascinating!" Rarity added.
"That because it...shouldn't..." Dash said stunning by the view as there's a figure atop of the roof.
It seems like the figure wears a silver cape that covers his/her front too, making it hard to see the fur colour. Inside of the cape was an as well a silver tuxedo with long sleeves that has a golden button and tie with a top hat that has a big red "H" logo on it. It also wearing a mask to cover his/her face for identity.
"You did a great for learning what causes of being heroes, Rainbow Dash." The figure said, sound like a male it seems. "But I can add a little bit of something else to that if I can."
The group keep staring at him like their never seeing before, he's not a pony at all. The body shape doesn't resemble a pony but like...a lion?
"Sure..." Twilight. Was the one saying as she probably knew who he is but needs to confirm first if she thought true.
"Very well, just because one pony has the centre of attention, doesn't mean that those who have accomplished great things are obsolete or out of date. We will all have our moments in the spotlight and just because our good deeds and achievements might go unnoticed doesn't mean that they are less important. True friends will always be there for us to celebrate our success and they will be there to remind us that we are special."
My word. His lesson was astonished, no way it could be him. The purple unicorn now in the middle of brainstorming if her theory were real until a familiar voice came...
"Hi, girls!"
The mares turn to look who was that, it's Leo in his Leaf form? Spike was there too, wearing fine clothes, perfect for a ghostwriter. Now riding on his brother back.
"What are you guys doing?"
The ponies soon realised as they turned back up only for the silver figure to disappear from the roof.
"Wha...?" Twilight confused.
"He's gone!" Rainbow Dash said while she flew up for nothing except a roof made of hay.
"Ah believe Leo have an explanation to do." Applejack gestured to him.
"No, that can't be Leo other-self. He's using the Leaf Element." Twilight pointing at him. "And Leo hadn't split using it, right?"
"Well, duh! I grab some cupcakes at the SugarCube Corner with bro." He smiles innocently as the drake pulled out a paper bag filled with cupcakes while the other was carrying a green vine that coming from his green bandana. "I have to use my power to carry it but seriously! Lion should have more paws!"
"Ugh, it will be an abomination if you asked me." Rarity shook. "But I do love his outfit, such an elegant would seem and those words are very formal."
"Nevermind that! We off the topic." Twilight said while rushed to her siblings. "Leo, quick question. That lion on the roof, was it you or not?"
The lion mouth was like a cat smile and he replied. "What lion? I'm the only one in Ponyville."
"Yeah, Twilight. We didn't see any lion. Probably you guys imagination." Spike said.
"Not that! There's a lion is wearing a silver tuxedo, a cape, a top hat and--"
"And you believe Leo afford that?" The dragon asked.
"What?"
"All that accessories seems very expensive, Leo can't buy all that. Of course, it can be made manually but it took a lot of skill like Rarity. You on the other hand, only give us enough bits for our daily life, and Leo even barely know the basic of making a dress!"
"Well that's what mean..."
"Oh sorry, bro."
The white pony thinks about it. "Twilight, that's true. Those clothes took a lot of progress to make perfect. Plus, I doubt that he won't come out every day because of how valuable those accessories are. He doesn't want to get it dirty like I don't wanna get a filthy spot on my dress."
"Yeah!" Said Pinkie Pie, who is now munching the cupcakes with Leo happily. "I twilight else you have to worry about, Twilight?"
"We just finish teaching Rainbow Dash and now there's a new hero? Not to mention he's a lion?" She pointed out.
"I dont...but I k-kinda like it." Fluttershy comments.
"Not you too, Fluttershy..."
Rainbow went in and said. "Another lion in Ponyville, Twilight! Wonder if he's fast?"
"Again! This doesn't make sense!!!"
The ponies keep talking on and on while the boys were a little bit distant. Secretly, giggling each other.
"Our plan work!" Leaf cheer quietly.
"Yep. They don't know you can switch the elements before you performing the split. I guess Twilight doesn't realise that." Spike said, eating the cupcakes.
"Hehehe. She living with us! What do you expect, bro?"
The drake chuckle. "Guess you, right. By the way, where's Wind?"
"Don't know, doing something illegal I think."
"Oh, ok." And Spike finishes every cupcake in his bag.
