After last night, I woke up full of energy, but I still felt a strange inner devastation. Remembering yesterday evening, my mood immediately lifted, and I suddenly wanted to smile strongly. At that moment I noticed that I was lying and hugging the plush with all my hooves ... I was a little ashamed, because the toy was for children, and I blushed a little.
After yesterday's incident with my magic, I decided to try again, but this time the simplest one. Getting out of bed, I went to my structure, which protected me from hypnosis, and reassembled it. Remembering the "first light" spell, I tried to cast magic, but nothing came of it?
I got worried because Twinky could probably know everything about magic and if I asked questions about it, it could be strange and I could be revealed. I tried my magic over and over, but nothing came out but a spark. I panicked, but decided not to tell anyone for now, so I went to the stairs, and then went downstairs, but when I approached the stairs, I heard the sound of the door opening and turned around, Twinkleshine left her room.
“Morning sis, brush your teeth and come downstairs, I'll make breakfast,” Twinkleshine said and went downstairs.
After brushing my teeth, I left the bathroom and went downstairs, after which I went to the kitchen. Coming closer, I smelled pancakes and when I entered the kitchen, my guess was confirmed - these are pancakes.
Twinkleshine told me she needed to go to her room. ‘This is my chance to eat without magic’, I thought.
The breakfast was incredibly tasty and I wanted to stretch it out as long as possible, but I needed to eat as much as possible before Twinkleshine returned.
When my sister returned, she was surprised because my plate was empty and asked me in surprise, "Have you eaten already? Maybe you need more?"
“No, I'm not hungry,” I replied. She looked at me suspiciously, but seemed to accept my answer. To change the subject, I decided to ask the question, “Um ... can we go to the library today? I want to see books."
“I think we can do it, but first we need to get you a library card. It's time to get yours. “After Twinkleshine had breakfast, we went outside, and as soon as we got out, I felt uncomfortable again and wanted to snuggle closer to Twinkleshine.
My actions brought a smile to her face, but we continued on to the library.
When we got to the library, this building looked really big, with tapestries on the walls, columns and statues by the stairs, and a large book sign over the entrance.
When we went inside, I saw countless two-story rows of bookshelves and several ponies wandering between them. My sister took me to the librarian and said something to him that I didn’t hear because I didn’t listen.
While I was watching the visitors, I was taken to a booth and asked to sit on a chair and take a picture. But for some reason I didn't want to let go of my sister's leg, it was a strange and unfamiliar feeling for me.
Twinkleshine turned her head to me and said, "Don't worry, I'll be standing by." I really did not want to do this, but when she rubbed her face against mine, I again felt comfortable and there was a feeling of safety, so I reluctantly let go of her.
She slowly nudged me towards the booth so that I could go faster. I didn't want to upset the adult pony, so I went into the booth.
Some pony, as I assumed - a librarian, came in and asked me to sit still and smile, after which she moved away to take a picture of me.
When I was photographed, I looked so red, almost like a tomato, and from this I blushed even more.
But finally, this torment ended and I literally flew out of the booth and grabbed Twinkleshine by the leg. After that, we returned to the librarian's desk, where we were asked to wait until the library card was ready.
When it was ready, a librarian came up to us and handed my library card to Twinkleshine. When she saw this, she giggled softly and gave it to me, after looking at the photo on the ticket, I was embarrassed again.
'I hate this feeling, lately it haunts me too often, it's so strange,' I thought
"Remember, you wanted to see the books with your own eyes. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the saddlebag, so you can go get the book and I'll quickly run home for the bag. Don't go anywhere!" said Twinkleshine and ran away.
Since I didn't even have time to argue, I decided to go look for a book related to magic, but not for more complex spells, but a book in which the process of magic will be described in more detail. I needed such a book to understand if I was doing everything right.
A librarian came up to me and asked if I needed help. I replied that I needed to find books related to magic. She pointed her hoof in the direction of some of the shelves and aisles and said that there I would find everything I needed.
I went where the librarian indicated, and as I walk closer to the counter, my eyes dazzle with the number of books, but because of my height I only searched at the lower shelves.
I went around all the lower shelves several times and even managed to look at some of the upper shelves, but my searches were unsuccessful when I didn’t find the book I needed. I turned, disappointed, and bowed my head towards the exit from this row to wait for Twinkleshine at the entrance to the library.
But suddenly I bumped into something and heard a familiar laugh, looking up, I saw Twinkleshine with a book in her magical aura. She brought me this book and said: "You sleep on the go, sleepyhead, but are you looking for this book?"
'She seemed to tease me,' I thought, and looking at the book they gave me, I was very surprised, because it was the right book.
"But ... but ... how did you know?" - I was surprised.
"Intuition," Twi said, "well ... or when you fell asleep, you muttered something about magic and the book." She said with a laugh.
She took the book and went to the librarian, I followed her.
We put a book on my library card, it was my first book, taken from the first library in which I was in my entire life. Twinkleshine put the book in her saddle bag, which she went home for, and we went out into the street. As we walked, Twinkleshine said we needed to go to the store, but I auditioned for what it was for, so I just followed the pony, snuggling as close to her as possible.
We went into the store, I looked around, and then my brain accelerated to maximum speed in one second. The store was full of children's books, toys, candy, clothes and saddlebags for little ponies. I ran from one shelf with toys to another, took out one thing and threw it when I noticed a new one. I ran from dress to dress, but then someone grabbed me with magic and lifted me into the air. Twinkleshine came up, laid me on her back and with a stern tone, said that I needed to be calmer, and if I wanted any toy, we would buy it next time, but on condition that I behave impeccably.
I gave Twinkleshine an apologetic look and quietly apologized. I suddenly felt ashamed of my behavior, I do not know what came over me and why I behaved this way. But Twinkleshine distracted me from my thoughts and said something to me, but I did not hear.
We were standing next to a shelf of saddlebags, and Twinkleshine repeated her request to choose a bag for me. I was lowered to the floor and I began to consider options. Moving a little further, so that the entire shelf was clearly visible, I looked through each bag, one by one, but then my gaze lingered on one of the bags. It was the color of Twinkleshine fur, with a few stars on the sides. My gaze lingered on her, and then a familiar aura appeared on her, but not mine, but the magical aura of Twinkleshine.
"This?" Twinkleshine asked.
I nodded and went to the checkout for my sister, who liked my choice.
I didn't want to leave the store, I really wanted a toy, it was a beautiful and cute outfit for my plush. The more I thought about it, the more I blushed.
While we stood at the checkout, not noticing this, I slowly walked away from the checkout to the toys, but Twi's magic pulled me back by the tail. I didn't like it, but I think it was deserved because of my behavior.
As we left the store, a saddle bag dropped on top of me. It felt strange to be wearing a saddlebag, but it was comfortable. Suddenly, on one side, the weight increased due to the fact that a book was put in the bag. As I was not ready, my balance was disturbed and I began to fall, but I was grabbed by the familiar Twinkleshine's hoof.
She smiled and said, "Be careful." The sun had already passed the middle of the sky, which meant it was noon. On the way home, we went to a restaurant, where we had lunch, and drove home.
We are walking home and I am walking next to Twinkleshine, but suddenly I notice that she has stopped and therefore I stop too.
Apparently, Twinkleshine met her friend, and she noticed me and immediately greeted me, but I immediately hid behind my sister's leg and timidly and quietly answered the greeting.
Twinkleshine and her friend laughed and continued the conversation, stepping aside so as not to disturb passers-by. While they were talking, it seemed to me that their conversation went on for hours, but in fact several minutes passed, so I got bored and at first I began to go around them, then I practiced walking with my back forward, but everyone quickly got bored and I began to jump on stones similar color.
"Walking has improved noticeably and I can jump quite well," I said.
But then I realized that all this time I was jumping with a book in a saddle bag on myself, I wondered how it was holding up, but Twinkleshine immediately called me, saying that we had to go. Therefore, I did not have time to develop this idea and went for Twinkleshine.
When we got home, I went to the second floor to my room, I took the book to my room, put the book on the bed and went to the first floor to ask Twinkleshine if I could read the rest of the day, and after getting permission, I again went to my room.
I climbed onto the bed, straightened the book, opened the first chapter, and began to read it.
In the process of reading, I realized that when using magic, I was doing everything right. Just in case, I tried again to turn on the light from my horn, but again failed.
With a slightly faint mood, I continued reading. And after a while, I found an interesting chapter that talked about learning how to manage your mana.
The chapter says that such training increases the ability to feel your energy, helps to increase your mana and reduce its consumption, and can also increase the power of your magic. It is also said that such training will not always have an effect, they will only help to develop and you still need to take breaks. Otherwise, you can overwork.
(Some time later)
It was hard training, I tried to find my mana, but this time it was much more difficult than before ... the magical explosion. But I still found some small remnants of my energy and transferred this from one part of the body to another, divided into parts and manipulated two parts at the same time.
My magic seemed to be blocked by something, but this block did not prevent me from fully using magic, so my workout could continue.
At the end of this workout, I felt completely exhausted, but decided to try to turn on the light anyway.
I forgot to build my defenses against hypnosis and started practicing magic. When I tried again, it seemed to me that my mana was a little more than it was and this amount seemed to be enough for me.
I forgot about my protection from hypnosis, and therefore my aura fascinated me again ...
My magic worked again, but it only lasted a few short seconds, but I was still infinitely happy with this success.
But after I finished rejoicing, I remembered that although the magic lasted only a few seconds, but I saw it with my eyes and was not hypnotized. 'It seems this finally does not hypnotize me,' I thought.
After that, I again felt full of energy and joy, but I heard a displeased growl from my stomach and assumed I was hungry.
Going downstairs, I saw that dinner was already ready. I wondered how Twinkleshine prepares food when I need it, and every time I go down for this purpose, the food is ready.
As we ate, I noticed that it was getting dark outside the window, and after eating Twinkleshine told me to brush my teeth and go downstairs.
I went to the bathroom and after cheating, which was much easier because I had already learned how to do it easier, Twinkleshine went into the bathroom and said, "Twinkies, it's time to take a bath."
I turned away and literally burst into flames with embarrassment, but quickly dropped all my thoughts and tried to stop blushing. At this time, my sister had already walked over to the bathtub and started filling it.
As I stood looking into the bathroom, Twinkleshine came up behind me and grabbed me with her teeth ... by the collar? It didn't hurt, but I had a very strange feeling when she put me in the bathroom, 'I think it was my scruff, I completely forgot that the pony has a scruff,' I thought.
"Forgive me for treating you like a child, little Twinky," Twinkleshine said with a smirk and smile. I quickly and instinctively straightened up and said with a little offense: "I am not little!"
When I realized how I reacted, I was embarrassed, sat up and blushed again. Twinkleshine giggled because she managed to tease me, but after that she takes a brush and starts rubbing my mane and tail, but when she washed my fur, it was very ticklish, so I involuntarily started laughing and splashing my hooves in the water. When I accidentally doused Twinkleshine, I accidentally laughed because it looked funny.
Twinkleshine first looked at me sternly, because of this I stopped laughing, dropped my ears and sat down with a guilty face, Twinkleshine smiled broadly and kissed my forehead.
I was shocked by this act from Twinkleshine, and she continued me while I sat red with embarrassment.
When Twinkleshine says everything is ready, I come out of my little trance and she dried me off with a towel. When I got dry, Twinkleshine told me, "I have a surprise downstairs. Come with me."
We went to the stairs, and when we went downstairs, we went out the threshold, and Twinkleshine asked me to stand at the entrance. As I sat and waited, a telescope appeared in front of my eyes, which had recently been in our living room.
"We haven't looked at the stars in the sky for a long time, little sister, I already forgot how beautiful it is, I hope you don't mind," said Twinkleshine.
"Everything is fine!" I suddenly blurted out, as if I didn't want her to leave. (Deep down, I really didn't want her to leave)
When she set up the telescope, we began to observe this incredible night sky. This sky was much better than in the human world, it was incredibly beautiful and breathtaking. As I sat and looked at various parts of space through a telescope, Twinkleshine sat down next to me, and her warmth calmed me.
I don't know how much time has passed, but as I looked at the starry sky, I became more and more sleepy, and without noticing it, my eyes closed and I fell asleep looking through a telescope. But at that moment, while I was still awake, but I also did not wake up, without realizing it, I muttered "Good night, beloved sister" ...
