Enforcing Change

Ch 20 The Personal Student (rewrite)

Nightlight

When Cadance started to come around to watch Twilight she started to become a bit more social to family.

It is at this point in time where I started to notice Twilight and Shining were starting to develop a competitive attitude with one another.

Fortunately I already knew the solution to that.

When I came to Equestria I was actually looking forward to some of the holidays.

Though Canterlot is not really the best place for some of them.

Nightmare Night is not really popular in Canterlot since it was considered a sore spot for Celestia.

A shame since I had really liked the holiday back in my world.

When Nightmare Night comes around Velvet and I would help Shining Armor and Twilight with their costumes.

It was always fun to have costume sets with each other but Shining Armor and Twilight had quite a few different interests from each other.

Still Hearths Warming was quite fun.

It's actually quite funny that my favorite Christmas story is A Christmas Carol.

As it translated well to my enjoyment of the Equestrian counter part A Hearth's Warming Tail.

Honestly I can't wait to talk to her about my worlds version.

Also Twilight's issues with quesadillas are probably my fault.

You see when Twilight was refusing to stop reading a book and come for lunch.

So I brought lunch to her but when she bit into it it caused the cheese to fall on to the book.

Her panic attacks remind me of my brother only cute.

And finally came the Summer Sun Celebration in Canterlot.

I never did tell Twilight that Celestia was her and Shining Armor's godmother.

Now let me tell you getting her accepted to the school was harder than I thought it would be but Velvet and I pulled through.

But before we could I had to have a chat with Celestia.

Celestia

Out of all the things Nightlight had asked of me. Tell me to switch his own daughter's entry test to the lava crocodile egg after all but one was stolen.

The lava crocodile hatching is difficult for even for the most talented of second year students.

I mean I know that she has high levels of magic and she was going to have a talent in magic but that is not anything new.

What's more he is telling me to make her my personal student after her test.

I don't plan on taking a personal student for a while after what happened with Sunset Shimmer.

Though I will have to hummer his request that I be nearby when she takes her test.

Though hearing how some of the ways that it could go wrong using some examples of events from other worlds where things go horribly wrong.

Regardless it would be irresponsible to not be prepared for something going wrong.

While Velvet and I should be in the room with her, but since in some fan fictions what happens kills us...

I instead chose to switch us with a dust body spell.

It works like a worse version of my remote shadow copies, but it can be better explained away.

While keeping some of my other shadow copies watching the sonic rainboom.

Since no time vortex opened up I could only hope that it meant that my plan for that will work.

As for the unstable burst of magic.

Well it went how one would expect.

Celestia did take Twilight on as a personal student.

Celestia

When I saw Twilight's cutie mark I understood.

Her cutie mark was a large purple star with five smaller stars around it.

She would be the bearer of the element of magic.

He apparently decided to leave her training to become the element of magic.

The egg though has me baffled.

I have no idea how a dragon egg ended up there.

Since I had no real idea of how to deal with it so I asked Nightlight and he said to put him in Twilight's care.

When I asked if he would be some kind of pet.

Nightlight looked at me like I had just kicked a puppy and in a heavily offended voice said that Spike was her adoptive little brother.

His reaction to this caused me to take a double take.

His reaction felt completely genuine.

He had already considered the little dragon a part of the family.

Maybe I had been judging him to harshly.

When I asked Nightlight if he knew what destiny had in store for the little dragon he started to laugh.

Apparently Spike would be there to help make sure Twilight eats and sleeps.

And save the Crystal Empire...

Wait, what?

Nightlight

I'm going to be honest I had expected to have to correct some about Spike being an adoptive son and not a pet.

The thing is I had not expected them to do it to the same individuals so many times .

I mean really how hard is it to get it through their stuck up heads.

Still the day where I have to help explain to Spike that he's adopted is something I am not looking forward to.

But compared to what I will have to do to them...


I would take that any day.
