Chapter 2 – Better cold

"Come on Violet here comes the train..." Night light holds a fading smile as he again tries to bring the spoon of apple sauce to the little fillies mouth.

The little filly pauses her biting on the blue rattle for a moment as she stares at the blue stallion's third attempt at the failed train trick. Violet's baby like O face is brought to a smile as her free hoof knocks the spoon back to the stallions mouth.

Velvet lets out a loud laugh as she looks over the apple sauce covered coat and face of the blue stallion, "Um...Maybe you should stand? At least this way you won't get it all over you."

Night light's straight faced smile is directed to the little purple filly who in return shows the stallion a happy smile from behind the blue rattle.

He squints at her smile trying not to let his faked sternness falter at the fillies innocent stare.

Velvet gives another slight giggle from her spot on the couch as she stands up, "Maybe shes not hungry?" 

Night Light places the spoon back into the jar sitting next to him on the ground as he gives a little chuckle, "Nonsense, Twilight gets up earlier than this. Of course Violet would eat around this time." He pulls another spoonful of applesauce out of the jar as he looks back to the filly in determination.

Violet holds the rattle in both hooves in a motionless stare to the raising spoon. Her blue eyes trace the spoon as it raise in the stallions hoof.

"...Ok Violet say awww."

Violet stare’s a little confused to the stallion's terrible baby like voice as she takes the drool covered rattle from her mouth.

Night Lights smile widens as he slowly moves the spoon back to the filly.

But before the spoon gets close to its designated stop Violet bangs her blue rattle at the spoon causing it to drop from Night lights grip and clang on the floor. Violet gives a happy wheezing sound as she wiggles her hooves to the blue stallion.

With a sigh Night Light picks the spoon off the ground, "Fine, you win...Velvet your turn."

The blue stallion stands from his spot as Velvet trots over with a freshly warmed bottle of milk.

Velvet takes Violet's weapon of spoon destruction as she trades the filly for the bottle. The light purple filly happily wraps her hooves around the bottle as she stares to the defeated stallion.

"See told you." Velvet gives a closed eyed smile as she pets at Violets small mane, "Oh, honey could you go get her brush?"

Night light nods his head in defeat to the victorious filly as he answers Velvet, "Yes dear..."

(Back at Fantaisie Gras)

The early morning sun has just started to creep over the tall line of white marble buildings surround the outside dining terrace of fantaisie gras. You shift your eyes around the second story view as you try to take in the sight of the city being drenched in early morning's gold rays.

"This is the first city in Equestria to wake up..."

You turn your eyes away from the city as you look to the yawning lavender mare in front of you, "Because its so high up?"

Her horn glows a low purple as her tea cup floats up to her, "No, because Celestia raised it from here."

You let out a little chuckle to her comment, "Ok, so tell me how does that work anyways?"

Twilight gives a little giggle as she floats the still steaming cup of tea towards you. The low chiming of the cup makes your ears perk up as you watch the cup start to gravitate around your head. Twilight's voice is a low calm voice as she talks,

"...Magic any and all forums are just feelings..."

You drift your eyes from the cup that moves around you and you look over her happy expression.

"...and these feelings when used by a unicorn properly can be manipulated into anything the user wants or thinks."

You give a smile at how happy her explanation has made her and you instinctively drag the conversation on as you ask another question, "How?"

Twilight's voice picks up a little as her eyes focus back on yours, "Oh that's easy, unicorns turn the thoughts and feelings into telepathic waves which we use to bind onto an object to do what we want with them..."

You start to lose your smile as you try to listen to her increasingly confusing explanation.

Her hoof comes up to her chest as her voice picks up in a know it all tone, "...Now some magic like combat magic is more emotion based and is not necessarily about binding a thought onto something  but more on just using your thoughts and concentrating to make them real..."

Your smile has faded as you just nod your head trying to keep up with her.

Her eyes start to sparkle with her knowledge as she continues on her rant, "Now pony magic as I am sure you are aware is generated from happy feelings or actions. Like talking, parties, having any kind of fun, or anything that sparks a release of endorphins like Oxytocin or Serotonin..." Her face blushes a little as she realize your blanked out stare.

"Sorry...I may have gotten carried away."

The cup of tea that was only moments ago spinning around your head now slowly floats back to the table.

You smile at her as you give a light hearted chuckle, "Twilight its ok it was kind of...cool."

She nods her head in a smile as she fiddles with her cup, "I forgot you don't remember."
You blink at her comment as you loose your smile a little. Its true though most of the things that Twilight and every pony focused on where the things you did and what you are....but never once have you been told how you did the things you did or how you got to be able to do them.

"Hey..."

Twilight picks her head up from the cup as she looks at you.

"So how did I get to use magic anyways?"

She stares at you for a moment, "I thought you just wanted to relax while we're here?"

You give a little laugh at her comment as you talk, "Well I mean where getting kicked out because of magic and I don't even know how its possible I can do magic so..." You hold your hoofs up waiting for her to talk as you break from your words.

Twilight's earlier smile comes back over her face as she talks, "Well human magic..."

Your body still cringes at the word but you push past it as you listen to her.

"...Is different than pony magic, its not just created by love and toleration like ours. It can be generated just by a heavy emotion, and with a much larger effect to."

You listen to her words as your spine starts to shake a little, "So I really do have to watch how I feel?"

Twilight nods as she clears her throat, "yes, but after you saw how the magic reacts you seemed to be able to control it very well." She gives a little giggle to her words as she continues, "...you know its funny how..."

"Your food madam and misure..."

You and Twilight both break your conversation as you look to the light amber unicorn stallion. He has a slight discomfort look to him as he sets your food down. You can't help but smile as he put your plate in front of you, he probably should be a little freaked out after seeing an earth pony do magic...Note to self librarian human thing....still a badass.

You bring your plate closer to you as you take the aroma into your nose which starts the waterfall in your mouth...fuck ya....pizza.

Before you bring your hoof to a hot piece Twilight's voice stops you.

"We'll talk about it later ok?"

You nod your head to her as you reach your hoof to the first slice of cheesy heaven.
