//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: The Strange Magic and Party // Story: A New Point of View // by Cyber V //------------------------------// Chapter 6 After we all got over the wonder that is Pinkie, Dash spoke up. "Ah Princess, there's something that has been bothering me." "What is it, my young flier?" Princess Celestia asked. "Well if you say that Star and Arcana are not from this world, then how did they do what they did?" Dash asked confused. "Yeah, I’ve been wondering about that too Princess," Twilight said, "Because I thought that humans didn't have any magic." "Well not our kind of magic," Princess Celestia said to Twilight, then she looked at us and asked, "If you two don't mind, would you both let my student here let her use her magic to look into you? Arcana answered, "Sure, we don't mind." Princess Celestia looked back at Twilight and nodded. "Alright then, close your eyes and try to relax," Twilight instructed. We closed our eyes and Twilight continues, "Okay, this might tickle a bit." Just as she said that, I felt a ticklish sensation all over my body and I couldn't help but start giggling. I also hear Arcana giggling, too. Then, just as it started, it stopped. "Okay, you both can open your eyes now." I opened my eyes and saw Twilight staring at us with wonder and amazement. "What?" I asked, getting uncomfortable from her stare. "You both are amazing. You, Star, have a lot of magic in your wings, and that’s normal for a pegasus, and you, Arcana, have a lot of magic in you, and again that’s normal for a unicorn, but as the Princess said, you both are filled with way different magic then our kind." We all sat there taking in what Twilight said. "So um... What now?" Fluttershy asked, breaking the silence that hung over us. At that moment there was a knock on the door. "I got it," I said relieved to get the attention off me. I opened the door and once again found myself staring at the open end of a cannon. Oh crap, not again, I thought as I dropped to the floor and yelled out, "TAKE COVER." A bang shot out and I heard screams and shouts of fright from behind me. I looked up and looked behind and saw that the library was, once again, covered in decoration and that everypony was wearing a party hat, including me. "PINKIE, will you please stop doing that, it’s getting really annoying having to keep cleaning this mess up, and what is this party for anyway?" Twilight asked clearly upset. "Silly filly, this party is a ‘Welcome to Equestria and for getting your cutie marks’ party for Star and Arcana," Pinkie said while she jumped up and down in place, "and also we’d all like to thank you two. I had gotten up from the floor and stood by Arcana, Twilight asked worried, "What do mean 'we'?" "Silly I also invited all of Ponyville here," she said with a huge smile. "YOU DID WHAT?" Twilight asked shocked. "I think we both should go, don’t you agree little sister?" Princess Celestia asked looking at her sister, whom nodded. There was a flash of light and they were gone. At that moment, everypony started entering the library and I was quickly overwhelmed by ponies thanking me and Arcana for saving the town. Just when I thought I was done with everypony as they left us to enjoy the party, the CMC and other young ones came in and swarmed us. "Hey Star, do you know me? "Scootaloo asked. "Yeah I know who you are Scootaloo, "I said. Scootaloo looked back at a pair of fillies, whose cutie marks are a tiara and a spoon, what talents could those marks represent?, and said, "Ha, I told you, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, that I know Star." Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon looked really annoyed that they were proven wrong of something. Scootaloo looked back at me and said, "I would like you to meet the rest of my friends," and I was introduce to Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. After I was introduced to the rest of her friends, they said that they are part of a club called the Cutie Mark Crusaders, but of course, I already knew all of this. "That was awesome what you did with the hydra, but can you tell us more, because we all got a speed version from Pinkie, and can you also tell us how you got your cutie mark?" Scootaloo asked. All the other children started pleading to be told of my story. "Well I don't know," I said as I started to brush my hoof through my mane. "Please mister Star?" I looked down and saw Applebloom with those big watery eyes of hers, ah dang it I can't say no to that face, she is good with that, so I told them the story from my point of view and Arcana told them of hers. After we finished telling the story the children cheered. They were about to ask more questions when Rainbow Dash appeared and said, "Okay little ones, leave Star and Arcana alone, and enjoy the party, and if I were you I would at least get a muffin or two before Derpy eats them all, because I saw her stalking the snack table for muffins." They immediately left, heading towards the snack table, which was somehow set up with a lot of food on it. "Thank Dash," I said to her. "No prob," Dash answered back, "Glad to help out friends," and with that she disappeared in the crowd of ponies. The party lasted to sunset, and everypony started to leave heading home, saying that they have work in the morning. Arcana and I went to our rooms and saying goodnight to each other, Twilight, and Spike. As I got into my bed and closed my eyes, I started thinking about what happened today, and wished that something exciting would happen tomorrow too.
