I stand in the center of a large room that is littered with countless books that center on different subjects, two couches, and a rectangular table in between the couches. Twilight is standing about a few feet away from me and she has a soft smile on her face. I am trying with all of my willpower to not begin hopping in excitement. I don’t know why this excites me so much, but I don’t care. I just can’t wait.
“Okay, are you ready for your first lesson on magic?” Twilight asks. I nod my head. She nods her head in return. “Okay, step one: close your eyes and search deep within you for something that you never felt before. I want you to take slow, deep breaths as you do this.”
I give her a simple nod and close my eyes. I begin taking slow, deep breaths and begin searching deep within me for something. I search high and low for whatever it is that I am looking for. Maybe it’s my magic that is currently dormant. My magic waiting for me to claim it and use it at will. I continue taking deep breaths as I continue searching within me.
I gasp as I find what I am looking for. It is a small ball of turquoise light floating in endless darkness. I don’t have to be an utter genius to know what it is; my magic. The ball disappears and I feel something flow throughout my entire body and then into my horn.
“Twilight, I found it,” I say. “I can feel it flow within me.”
“Good, that’s very good,” Twilight replies. “Now, open your eyes while you hold onto that feeling.”
“Okay,” I say. I open my eyes as I hold onto this feeling.
The feeling of the magic flowing throughout my entire body and my horn is extraordinary. It is unlike anything I have ever felt in my life before. It gives off the feeling that I can do anything. I feel a wave of excitement flow throughout my body. I try my best to push it aside as I try my best to hold onto my magic. The last thing I want is to lose my focus and having to start over again.
“Very good, Selina,” Twilight says proudly. I feel a sense of pride at this achievement. Twilight points to something on the floor. “Now, you see that book I have laid out in the center of the floor there?”
I look to see a random book lying in the center of the floor. It is in-between me and Twilight. She must have put that there while I was searching deep within me for my magic.
“Yes, I see it,” I reply. “What do you want me to do?”
“I want you to focus on that book and apply some of the energy that you are currently holding onto it,” says Twilight. “I want you to try and lift it up from the ground.”
I give her a nod and focus on the book.
‘Don’t put too much energy or willpower into it,’ something in the back of my mind tells me. ‘It might do the opposite. Try to do it one at a time and then take it from there.’
I apply some of my energy to my horn, but not all of it. I imagine myself grabbing hold of the book in the same manner I grabbed hold of the sandwich I ate back at Canterlot Castle just two nights ago. I feel it surge through my horn and I see an aura of turquoise surround the book. I can’t help but smile at this. I am almost there! I just have to accomplish this without failing.
‘Now, time to apply some of my will into this,’ something in the back of my mind tells me. I am planning to do that next.
I finally apply some of my willpower into lifting the book. The book slowly begins to rise up from the ground. I can feel myself becoming excited, but once again, I push it aside as it is too early to get excited or even as much as celebrate. I don’t know how high Twilight wants me to rise the book, but I will wait for Twilight to give the sign that I should stop.
The book is now about up to my chest and it continues to rise. Twilight is observing the whole thing with intense focus. She is probably observing to see if I am doing something wrong or to point something out or give me some instructs whenever the need comes up. Whatever the case may be, I just have to wait for Twilight to give me-
“Stop!” Twilight suddenly blurts out.
“Eeek!!” I shriek and jump a little. The shout catches me off guard so much that I lose my concentration and put in the rest of my energy into the book.
Smoke fills the entire room and I begin to cough harshly. I wave my right hoof in the air to try ridding the smoke. The smoke finally dissipates and I catch Twilight doing the same thing I was doing for a split second before she stops. We both look down to see the book lying in the same spot it was in earlier.
“Darn it, Twilight!!” I cry out in frustration. “Why did you do that?! I was doing so good!!”
I sit down on my haunches and wrap my forelegs around my chest. I probably have a pouty expression on my face, but I really don’t care. Twilight scared the absolute heck out of me, making me lose my concentration and do Celestia knows what on the book.
Twilight gives me a sheepish smile and rubs the back of her head with her right hoof.
“Hehe, sorry,” Twilight says sheepishly. I don’t know why, but her response just makes me more mad.
“I was doing so good and you had to do that!!” I shout angrily. “Thanks a lot, Twilight!! You screwed me up!!” I throw my forelegs into the air. “Gah, this just bites me in the butt!!”
I pick up the sound of something rapidly tapping on the floor. I look to the book to see it shaking violently on the floor. My anger washes away and nervousness takes its place.
“Uh, Twilight?” I say nervously. “Is the book supposed to do that?”
Twilight turns to see the book on the floor, now shaking much more violently than it was seconds prior. I barely make out the expression on her face and it brings more uneasiness.
“No, that is not supposed to happen,” she says uneasily. Then, something unexpected happens.
The book hops into the air and it opens. The pages within become a row of razor sharp teeth and it begins opening and closing rapidly, making chomping sounds as it did this. Yep, Twilight is right. This isn’t supposed to happen at all.
The book looks in my direction, at least I think it is, and it lets out a menacing growl. It then charges at me with threatening speed. Fear surges through me and I do the only thing I can do.
I let out a girlish scream.
“AHHHH!!!”
I begin running in circles as the book tries to bite me, targeting my butt specifically. I jump every time the book opens its jaws and attempts to bite me. I look to Twilight and give her a pleading look. Twilight is watching the whole thing with a shocked expression plastered on her face, her mouth hanging wide open.
“Twilight, help me!!” I scream in desperation. I feel something sharp latch itself to my butt. Pain surges through me like wildfire and I feel my eyes water up as a result of the pain. “MY BUTT!! IT’S GOT MY BUTT!! GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!!”
I begin running around the room, flailing and screaming as I try to shake it off. I look over to Twilight to see her still standing there as still as a statue. Anger mixes in with the pain as I glare at her, my eye beginning to well up with tears. Why is she still standing there?! Can’t she see that I’m having trouble?!
“Twilight, help me, please!!” I cry out in both pain and anger as I continue to run in circles and shaking. Twilight shakes her head and blinks her eyes, obviously snapping out of her trance, thank goodness.
“Selina!!” she cries out. “Selina, stop moving!!”
Despite how much pain I’m in, I stop and wait for Twilight to do something, whimpering in pain as the tears begin trailing down my face. Twilight runs over to me and stops about a few inches away from me. She lights up her horn and I watch as the book is engulfed in a purple aura. Suddenly, the stupid book goes rigid and returns to its normal state, its paper-like teeth finally letting go of my butt.
‘It’s over,’ I think to myself through the pain. ‘Thank goodness.’
Twilight levitates the book to the rectangular table in the center of the room and rests it in the center of the table. The aura around the book and her horn vanish and she turns her attention to me. She walks over to my left and places her right hoof on my shoulder.
“You okay?” she asks softly. A rush of anger flows throughout my body as this question echoes in my head.
“I would be… if you didn’t just STAND THERE AND LET IT BITE ME!!” I shout angrily. I look at the damage to see a nasty bite mark imprinted on my left cheek. Twilight then looks at the damage and she cringes.
“Yeesh, I better get that cleaned out before trying to heal it,” Twilight says. Just then, the doors slam open and I jump. We both turn around to see Spike charging into the room and over to us.
‘Oh no,’ I think to myself, mentally groaning in the process. ‘Now, he’s going to find out what happened here. I hope he doesn’t see the damage on my butt.’
Spike stops about a foot away from me and Twilight. He has a worried look on his face as his eyes dart to both me and Twilight in rapid successions, gasping for air like he’d just ran a marathon. Something tells me that Spike must’ve heard the screaming and, thinking that something bad was happening, came charging here as fast as he could.
“Twilight, Selina, are you both okay?” he asks in between his panting. “I was my comics when I heard loud screaming coming from here. I came here as fast I can. Did something happen?”
This confirms one thing; he heard the screaming and thought that something was happening, so he came running. I have no idea where he was when he was reading his comic, but if I screamed loud enough for him to hear, that means he wasn’t very far, if that were to be the case. Whatever the case may be, Spike heard the screams.
Twilight clears her throat.
“Yeah, something happened, but it wasn’t anything bad,” Twilight replies. “It’s been taken care of.”
Spike arches his left eye in a curious manner. “What happened exactly? It must’ve been big if I could hear Selina screaming at the top of her lungs from the other side of the castle.”
I feel my heart drop to the pit of my stomach. Somehow, I screamed so loud that Spike heard it from the other side of the castle. I feel my face heat up, both embarrassment and fear filling my entire being. Embarrassment about knowing that he heard me screaming. Fear about him finding out why I screamed in the first place.
“Um…” I stammer, feeling sweat form on my forehead. “It’s nothing important. Nothing to worry about.”
Spike turns his head to face me and he narrows his eyes at me. I can feel myself beginning to shake as I feel the sweat on my forehead trailing down my face along with the last of my tears. I am shaking so badly and violently that I feel myself beginning to crack. Although I am much bigger than him, he is somehow making me feel small. I really don’t like that feeling.
“Did you ever have anypony tell you that you’re terrible at lying?” Spike suddenly asks lowly. I feel fresh tears trail down my face as I continue to shake violently.
“Selina injured herself,” I hear Twilight say calmly. “I’m taking her to her bedroom so I can trend to it. Can you go to the bathroom and grab the first aid kit so I can treat it properly?”
Spike looks away from me, turning his attention to Twilight. I feel a wave of relief wash over me as I stop shaking and take this time to wipe off the sweat from my forehead. I have to thank Twilight for this.
“Alright, if you say so,” Spike says as he relaxes. “I’ll go get the first aid kit.”
Spike jogs out of the room, leaving the doors open. Once I can no longer hear the pitter patter of his feet, I let out a sigh of relief. I look over to Twilight and she turns her head to face me.
“Thanks, Twilight,” I say, my voice sounding grateful.
“No problem,” Twilight says. “Let’s get to your bedroom and wait for Spike to arrive with the first aid kit.”
I nod and we both walk out of the library, heading in the direction of my bedroom.
We enter the bedroom and Twilight shuts the door behind her. She looks up at me and gives me a blank expression.
“Lay down on the bed, Selina,” Twilight instructs. She doesn’t have to tell me twice.
I walk over to the left side of the bed and plop onto the mattress. I crawl to the center of the mattress and rest on my stomach. I lay there, waiting for Spike to come with the first aid kit. I want to get this done and over with so I can pretend that this never happened. My butt must look ridiculous with that bite mark imprinted on it.
‘This is so embarrassing,’ I think to myself. I snap out of my thoughts when I hear loud knocking at the bedroom door. I look over to my shoulder and watch Twilight open the door a crack and peek her head out.
“Here’s the first aid kit,” came the voice of Spike from the other side of the door.
“Thank you, Spike,” Twilight says as her horn lights up. “If I were you, I suggest you find something to help cover your ears. It’s going to get very loud for a while.”
I don’t like the sound of that. I feel my stomach drop at the sudden thought of how painful this is going to get. Something deep in my gut is telling me that this is going to be painful. VERY painful. If that’s the case and if I were Spike, I might as well follow Twilight’s instructions.
“If you say so,” Spike says and I hear the pitter patter of his feet going down the hallway. Twilight closes the door and she walks over to the bed, the first aid kit floating beside the left side of her head. She stops by the left side of the bed and looks me in the eyes.
“Selina, I want to warn you that this is going to hurt very much,” Twilight says. “If I were you, I would stuff your face into a pillow to scream loudly into.”
Without hesitation, I grab hold of the pillow and pull it close to me. I rest my neck onto it and nod my head as a way to show her that I’m ready to get this over with. Twilight stares at me for a moment before resting the first aid kit on the bed.
The lid flips open and Twilight looks through to find the appropriate item to use to clean out my bite mark. I feel my heart to slowly pick up speed, anticipation rocking my very core. I feel the urge to chicken out and tell her that I don’t want to do this, but I push this aside. If I try to chicken out, chances are that the bite mark will get infected and there is no telling what might happen if it gets to that point.
Twilight levitates a small rectangular box of antiseptic wipe and opens it the box. A small pad is levitated out of the box and the top is ripped off. A small wipe is pulled out from the small pad and Twilight looks me in the eyes. I give her a weak nod, just wanting to get this over with.
Twilight slowly levitates the wipe to the bite mark and it makes contact with the wound. Twilight wasn’t kidding when she said that it was going to be painful, but I never thought how painful it was going to be. A sharp wave of pain flows throughout my body and I involuntarily convulse.
“OW!!” I scream out in pain. “That hurts!!”
“I told you it was going to hurt,” Twilight points out. “Now hold still so I can continue to clean it out.”
“No, wait!!” I cry out, but it’s too late. “OWWWW!!!”
I slam my face into the pillow as I begin to sob into it. The pain that is shooting through my body is making my butt feel like it’s on fire. Heck, I might as well be on fire because the pain is sure making me feel that way, though I know I’m really not on fire.
“Selina, I know this hurts, but it has to be done so it doesn’t get infected or worse,” Twilight says softly. I lift my face from the pillow to get some air into my lungs.
“It feels like it’s on fire!!” I cry out in pain before I begin crying much harder than I was previously. “NO MORE, PLEASE!!”
“What in Equestria is going on here?” came an unfamiliar female voice. I turn to look to see a unicorn mare I have never seen before.
She has a light heliotrope coat with both a moderate purple mane and tail that have lighter purple and pale light aquamarine highlights and moderate persian blue eyes. She almost looks like Twilight, but different.
We stare at each other for a moment and are completely still as statues. Something in the back of my mind is telling me that the pony that is standing there is the one and only Starlight Glimmer that Twilight told me about back on the train. It makes sense since Twilight said that Starlight is a Unicorn pony.
“Um, are you Starlight Glimmer?” I finally ask, hiccupping violently in the process as the tears continue trailing down my face. The Unicorn mare proceeds to give me a slightly small smile.
“That’s my name,” she replies. “You must be Selina Lunar.”
I allow myself to smile weakly, despite the pain that flaring from my bite mark. I try my best to ignore the overwhelming pain, though the task itself is proving itself to be difficult.
“Yes, that’s me,” I reply. “ And FYI, Twilight told me all about you.”
That is the truth; Twilight told me everything about Starlight back on the train.
According to what Twilight told me, Starlight Glimmer was once the founder and leader of a mysterious village called ‘Our Town’ where all the residents had given up their cutie marks, which were then replaced with equal signs. As the leader of this strange village, Starlight had the philosophy that friendship that came from being equal and that special talents only led to disharmony.
When Twilight and her friends arrived to the village after being summoned there by the Cutie Map, Starlight saw that as an opportunity to spread her message to all of Equestria. She led them to the vault containing the cutie marks of the villagers, she used a wooden staff to rob Twilight and her best friends of their cutie marks and replaced them with equal signs.
When Twilight told me this, I was beyond livid. The fact Starlight had the boldness to do something like that and try to have them think like she did, it’s disgusting. Just because somepony doesn’t think the way you do doesn’t mean you have the right to change how they think. If they don’t think like you do, then that’s fine. Not everypony has to have the same opinion as you. It's not right to rob them of their way of thinking.
However, that feeling of lividness was washed away when I learned that she got her comeuppance.
When Fluttershy managed to fool the villagers and Starlight herself, the Pegasus spied on her and found out that her equal sign was simply make-up. The next day, Starlight tried again to have the others convert to her way of thinking, only to have herself be exposed as a liar and a fraud in front of her followers. She tried to run away with Twilight and her friend’s cutie marks, only to be thwarted by her followers. After losing her follower’s faith, Starlight ran away and escaped.
To be honest, I was glad to hear that Starlight Glimmer got her comeuppance. She had no right to do what she did. However, that was short-lived when I learned what came next.
One day, Starlight confronted Twilight and Spike in the castle and used a time spell created by the legendary Star Swirl the Bearded to travel back in time to prevent Rainbow Dash from performing the sonic rainboom. After doing so, the Unicorn created alternate timelines and sent Twilight and Spike to each one to prevent them from stopping her from permanently changing history.
Hearing this made me more livid than learning that Starlight Glimmer stole their cutie marks and tried to convert them to her way of thinking. I was so livid that I felt the urge to punch something. How could Starlight allow herself to become consumed by petty revenge? She got what she deserved and now she had the audacity to try getting revenge on Twilight? It wasn’t until later that I found out why she did what she did.
Eventually after escaping every alternate timeline and failing to show her the consequences of her actions, Twilight asked Starlight why she was doing what she was doing. It was there that Starlight told her everything.
It turned out that Starlight had a friend, a stallion named Sunburst, had saved her when her move caused all of the books to nearly topple on her. He earned his cutie mark for that and left for Canterlot and Starlight had lost touch with him. With that, it made her think that cutie marks causes ponies to lose friendships, not earn them.
Even after learning this, I was still livid with Starlight, though not as much as before. To be honest, I couldn’t help but feel pity for the Unicorn. For some reason, I felt like I could connect with Starlight, but I couldn’t understand why, and I still don’t understand.
After learning this, Twilight, in my eyes, had barely managed to convince Starlight to give friendship another chance, to which she did, allowing the rainboom to take place. After some talk with her friends, Twilight decided to take Starlight in as her pupil and teach her about friendship.
So, here I am, talking with a pony who was once a villain. In all honesty, I want to be angry and hate Starlight for what she did, but for some reason, I can’t bring myself to do so. I generally don’t hate her and feel somehow connected to her. It’s like I went through the same thing she did, but how is a mystery to me.
“She did?” Starlight asks, her question snapping my out of my thoughts. I take a deep breath and look her in the eyes, the Unicorn looking at me with a slight frown.
“Yes, she did,” I reply. “When I learned about what you did back then, I’m going to be honest; I was pretty darn livid. I didn’t like how you tried to convert them to think exactly like you and that was something that made my blood boil. It didn’t help matters when you also succeeded on changing the course of history.”
Starlight lowers her head to the floor, her ears flattening. Seeing this, I can tell that this is something that she didn’t like thinking about and tried to put behind her. However, I’m not finished with her.
“However, even after everything you did, I don’t hate you,” I say softly. Starlight lifts her head up and looks at me with a surprised look plastered on her face. “What you did happened in the past and it should remain in the past. We all do stupid things at some point in our lives, but when we learn from that, that helps us become a better pony and I can see that you learned from your mistakes and have become a better pony. I’m not going to hold your past against you.”
A warm smile spreads across her face as her eyes begin to water. To be very honest, I’m happy to not hold anything against her because if I did, that’ll make me look petty. I smile slightly, remembering something else about her that I feel like I should tease her about.
“And if I remember correctly, you were formerly Twilight’s student to learn the magic of friendship,” I say with the smile still plastered on my face. The smile on Starlight’s face grows slightly more.
“That’s true,” she replies. “And now, it looks like it’s your turn to be Twilight’s student and learn the magic of friendship.”
The smile on my face turns into a smirk at her response.
“Touché,” I say and we both laugh. When her laughter dies, her eyes drift away to something else and they widen slightly.
“Yikes, what happened to your flank?” she asks. As much as I want to feel embarrassed from her seeing the bite mark, I don’t as what she said caught my attention.
“Flank? You mean my butt?” I ask, giving her a curious look. Both Twilight and Starlight look at me with wide eyes before they start laughing loudly. “Um, what’s so funny?”
“Do you know not know what a flank is?” Starlight asks me in-between her giggles. I shake my head and they both stop laughing. They realize that I’m serious.
“Well, your butt is what we ponies call a flank,” Twilight explains as she wipes the tears away from her eyes. I feel an intense sense of stupidity hit me like a ton of bricks and I slam my right hoof onto my face.
‘How can I be so stupid?’ I ridicule myself in my head. ‘How did I have no idea that a flank is practically my butt?’
“It’s okay that you didn’t know,” Starlight says in a soft tone, probably sensing that I am ridiculing myself in my head. “You’re still suffering from memory loss, so it’s understandable.”
I lower my hoof back down on the bed and I look Starlight in the eyes. She gives me a soft smile and I return it. She turns her attention to Twilight, who proceeds to dip the washcloth back into the bucket, which I catch sight of.
“So, Twilight, do you still plan on introducing Selina to our friends at some point today?” Starlight asks her. Twilight responds by giving Starlight a simple nod.
I feel a wave of nervousness flow throughout my body at Starlight mentioning me going out to meet Twilight’s friends. I know she said that I can trust them back at the train, but since I’ve never met these ponies myself, I have no idea how they will react to me. They may sound nice, but that didn’t fully mean that I have to trust them right off the bat.
“I plan to do so after I finish tending to Selina’s bite mark,” Twilight answers. I am so not ready for the unbearable fiery pain again, but I know deep down that it has to be done.
“Speaking of which, how did she get that bite mark?” she ask.
‘Please don’t tell her. Please don’t tell her. Please don’t tell her,’ I beg in my head as I feel my cheeks become slightly hot. The last thing that I want is for her to tell her about what happened back in the library with the book.
“It’s something that you should rather ask Selina than me,” she says. The response shocks me. I turn my attention to the purple pony to see her giving me a soft smile and I respond by giving her a smile of my own.
I feel that familiar warmth in my heart and chest grow much stronger, as well as a feeling of gratitude for her not telling Starlight about what had happened without my consent. I still have no idea what the warm feeling is, but I know that I will find out soon enough, but when is a mystery.
I turn my attention to Starlight, who then turns her attention to me.
“I will tell you one day, but right now, I don’t want to as it’s embarrassing and being embarrassed before meeting the others is the last thing I want at the moment,” I say. She gives me an understanding look and I am very grateful for that.
“I’m assuming that you’re still nervous on meeting all of my friends, right Selina?” Twilight asks. I turn my attention to her and I frown.
“Yeah, I still am,” I admit right away. “I know you said for me to trust them back at the train, and as much as I really want to, I can’t and I won’t be able to for some time.”
Silence fills the room for a good moment. I take a deep breath and proceed to look Twilight in the eyes. Twilight proceeds to look me in the eyes and that is all I need to know that she is giving me her full attention.
“Why is that?” she asks. There is a moment of silence before I proceed to break it.
“Twilight, they have to earn my trust and respect in order for me to call them ‘friends’. Though I still don’t remember much of my past, the memories that I’ve regained is all I need to know that I didn’t live a good and happy life. Believe me when I tell you that I want to trust them and become friends with them, but something is holding me back and I need to see it for myself if they can be trustworthy.
“I am much different from the rest of you and overcoming the boundaries is what will be the ultimate test for me. That alone with be difficult to take down itself. You may have become friends with those mares easily, but it won’t be the same for me. I hope you understand where I’m going with this, Twilight.”
Twilight looks down at the floor, possibly taking in on what I said to her. I wait patiently for her response as I witness a pained frown form on her face. She looks up from the floor and looks me in the eyes. I can tell that something is eating away at her and whatever it is, it must be something big.
“You don’t trust me at all, do you Selina?” she asks. This question catches me off guard for some reason.
I feel my heart ache at the question. Do I trust her? I find myself become shocked as I realize that I do want to trust Twilight fully. In all honesty, I want to trust Twilight and everything she is saying, but something powerful is holding me back. I know that it has something to do with my past and if I want to trust her, she has to do something in order for me to overcome it completely.
I look Twilight in the eyes as I feel the frown grow on my face.
“Twilight, believe me when I tell you that I want to trust you completely, but I don’t,” I admit in a low and sad tone. “Well, I trust you to a certain degree, but not fully to where I can trust you with keeping secrets or with my life. One day, I will, but for now, it won’t be happening anytime soon, that much is clear.”
Twilight nods her head understandingly and looks down at the floor. I feel guilty for not trusting her, but I know it’s the right course of action for the moment. I look to see Starlight staring at me with a small frown, but I can see the glint of understanding in her eyes. I’m glad and grateful that she understands.
I turn my attention back to Twilight.
“You understand where I am getting at, right?” I ask her. Twilight looks up from the floor and looks me in the eyes.
“Yes, I do,” she says. I can tell that she is still upset with what I said, but deep within her eyes, I can see understanding in them.
“I know it pains you to hear all of that, but hearing the truth is better than hearing a small lie,” I say. She nods her heads in agreement. “And if anything, there is something very important that I must tell you that must be kept in mind.”
“And what’s that?” she asks.
“As I mentioned before, they have to earn my trust and respect,” I begin to say. “Don’t expect me to trust them in a day. Both trust and respect have to be earned, not given like a free food dish. When that happens, then maybe I will see them as friends. However, there is a severe consequence that you must be aware of; once that trust and respect becomes broken, they can never be fixed.”
I lean closer to Twilight and press my face against hers. I give her the best serious look I can muster and speak in a low and serious tone.
“They can be broken if one finds out that the one that they put all their trust and respect stabs them in the back or lies to them, they’ll never look at that individual the same way again and that relationship between them will become weak and then sever. Depending on the situation, it can take a very long time for that trust and respect to be regained, but there are indeed a few occasions where that doesn’t happen.
“The truth is simple; don’t do anything that will sabotage any attempt on making this work. If that happens, I will never trust you or any of your friends again. That is something I don’t want to happen.”
I lessen the expression and remove my face from Twilight. I notice she is giving me a shocked expression. I turn to see Starlight Glimmer giving me the same expression. In all honesty, I am shocked at what I said myself. I have no idea where all of that came from.
Twilight snaps out of her shock and looks me in the eyes.
“I understand,” she says. I nod. “Well, let’s get back to cleaning out your bite mark.”
Without warning, she places an antiseptic wipe on the bite mark. I take a deep breath…
“YEEEOOOOOOWWWW!!!”
