Chapter 10 Part 3: Back to Hoenn


(Alex's POV)

I wake up in the morning to find something on top of me. I open my eyes, and see two violet irises staring back at me. I try to move, but she has somehow pinned me down. I sigh....
"Well, that's one way of saying good morning."
She laughs. "Inded it is."
"Uh... would you mind moving?"
"Why?"
I blink away the stars. "You're sitting on my chest."
She gasps, and then re-positions herself ending up on top of me, but off to the side, and not on my chest. It's not comfortable, but at least I can breathe now, and that is the main goal. I try to move again, but despite her new position, I find myself still firmly immobilized. I think to myself, 'What the? How can she do that?'
'Easy. I got my magic back!'
I yelp a bit, completely unaccustomed to her invading my thoughts like that.
'OI! Okay okay. I see that. Now let me go!'
I hear that cool, calculating tone in her thought-voice that I heard when we first met.
'I'm sorry Alex, but I can't do that... not yet.'
'WHAT?!?!?!'
'I still need to use the portal spell, but only you can refine it enough to send me back home.'
'Okay, so what? That doesn't mean you have to keep me held down!'
'To you no, but to me, it does. I cannot have you betray me.'
'Why would I betray you?'
'Let's just say I've read your thoughts....'
I blush a bit. 'Those are mine! How dare you peruse them like they are some BOOK in your library!'
'How dare I? How Dare YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT ME LIKE THAT!!!!'
I cringe a bit from the psychic onslaught, or I would, if I could move.
'I'm sorry.... It was a moment of weakness.'
'HA! A moment of weakness? You were like that all night!'
'Did you even sleep?'
'No! I was busy recovering my stolen magic and paralyzing you! For that matter, I have the portal spell all done, all that's left is for you to refine it.'
'And if I refuse?'
'I'll kill you.'
 I blink, surprised by her bluntness and drive to get back to Equestria.
'Huh. I guess I'll do it then. One question though.'
She sighs. 'Go on.'
Then what was that thing you were doing yesterday?'
'An act.'
'Even when you kissed me?'
'Especially then.'
She lifts me with her magic, and then trots outside, floating my motionless body behind her, heading to a glowing oval floating in the air.
'Now refine it.'
'How?'
'Just think of the library'
 I do so, and the portal opens.
'Thank you.'
She drops me like a sack of potatoes.
'If I ever meant anything to you, you won't do this!'
'Some ponies turn on those they love the most.'
Then she walks through the portal, and it closes behind her.
