//------------------------------// // Children of the Coy // Story: Wish // by Coco-loco //------------------------------// Yeah so you might think a lot of people want to have a 'special ability' but no, actually, they don't. I didn't want mine when it was discovered I had one. My family was devastated, I was too. I already knew I had it but kept it hidden, till I was 15 and something happened. Then the next year the time of the test came and I tested positive for 'coy activity' or whatever it is they call it. I was sent away to separation to be separated into either good or bad. That's where I am now, waiting to be judged, tested, on my coy. "Now we are going in alphabetical order so now for who's first." I hear a gulp next to me. I look to see a blonde with green eyes and a cowboy hat that is seriously freaking out. "Applejack," she stands up and walks over to the testing area with a small sigh. The area is a simple patch of dirt. She sighs again then opens her eyes wide and slowly raises her hands above her head. As she does so plants shoot out of the ground and surround her. It's impressive, there's flowers on some and buds on others. After the plants are almost reaching for the sky, if they could see it, she pops out the top and they create a flower shape around her feet, and is showered in petals. Beautiful! "Thank you," he makes a mark on his clipboard then checks with the judges to make sure they're ready, they are. "Next up is... Fluttershy," a very shy girl with pink hair and pale skin stands up meekly and looks at the dirt before stirring over. She whistles. A stampede of animals come from every corner to her feet, she changes her tune and they do different things. It's awesome to see animals go from jousting, to slow dancing, to sleeping in a matter of how she whistles. "Thank you," he repeats. "Next up... Pinkie Pie," a very hyper girl starts jumping up and down till shes at the spot, her bubble gum hair bouncing along on her head and her bright blue eyes glistening as she starts her routine. First she puts her hands up and one foot behind her as she leans forward. Then in one swift motion she bolts her hands down, kicks her foot forward, and jumps at least 10 feet in the air. Streamers, glitter, balloons, sprinkles, a bunch of random party supplies explode away from her. She does a flip then another and another and more random stuff flies everywhere. It's hilarious! "Thank you," he repeats in his deadpan tone. "Next up is, Rarity," a over make-upped girl huffs up to the dirt. She then snaps her fingers and points ahead of her. needles and cloth fly from behind her. She spins, it moves with her, weaving intricate designs and patterns into itself while she does weird twists and turns in a strange dance. When she's done a crazy dress is weaved from the mess of strings and needles. The shining dress lands in a heap on the floor as she huffs again while going to sit down. "Thank you," I barely suppress a giggle. He's so boring. Ha, it hilarious how little emotion he has. "Rainbow Dash, you're up." I freeze up, my small giggles catching in my throat. First off my coy is dangerous, second off I can't control it, and third off I already know I'm going into bad coy and don’t feel like risking their lives for simple entertainment. I don't want to and probably shouldn't but I have to. I stand up and walk over to the area. Facing a wall away from everyone, I quickly glance at the cowgirl, she gets it and so I begin. I put both hands stretched out to my sides and lower them slightly like they’re wings, I leave the ground. Oh please don't flip out on me. I lower them more and go higher, it repeats like this and in about ten seconds I'm floating ten feet off the ground. I reopen them and spinning once, twice, three times, then spread one hand in front of me and the other holding onto its shoulder. I raise my fingers as if I’m faking a gun and can feel the power surging up in them. Out of my control now, I turn 90 degrees and fire. The cowgirls plants move just like I told her to, they block it from hitting mister emotionless as I topple to the ground unconscious. ------------------------------------- "Are ya’ alright sugarcube? That coy o' yours really knocked it outta ya." I open my eyes slowly to see emeralds staring at me. "Ahh!" I jump back when I notice those emeralds are connected to a certain cowgirl. She smiles at me and I know everything is alright so I jump on her in a huge hug. "Thank you so much! If it wasn't for you I could have killed someone and I wouldn't be able to live with that. I'm so sorry I asked you to do that I just never learned to control it. Oh, by the way which did you get into? Which did I? I thought it might be bad because my coy is lightning gun, so yeah. By the way..." I let go of her "your coy is awesome. Control of plants! Oh, I wish I could do that, mine is deadly and yours is helpful. By the way my name's Rainbow Dash what's yours? I'm rambling aren't I?" "Yeah ya kinda are and yeah ya did get inta bad, Ah'm in good so Ah guess this’ll be tha last time ta see each other. Ah wanted ta thank ya for warnin’ me ‘bout that. Ah'm really glad ta help. Ah'm Applejack! Your coy ain't all that bad. Ah mean learn, ta control it and Ah bet you'd love it. Ah didn't like mine till Ah learned ta control it. Just imagine walkin’ down tha street with plants growin’ random everywhere. Not good at all." I laugh at her and she just smiles more. "I hope I can see you again. This system isn't even fair,” our smiles fade slightly at that. "No, it's really not." We both go into mild depression for a second. I lean in and give her a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you." I whisper before standing up to walk out. I get about four steps before, "Wait!" I turn around to find her kissing me straight on the lips. "Thank you!" Then she walks off with a wink. I'm left in a very cheesy daze. She is an AMAZING kisser. "Wait, which side did those other get into? What about the others that were there?" I shout desperately trying to make her stop, she just keeps walking. "Ask Pinkie." She doesn't stop. I see a small tear hit the ground before she turns the corner and is gone.
