Fire Emblem: Waking in a New World
Chapter Seven
Everypony in town seemed quiet as the strange small creature explored the streets. Her gasps of awe and wonderment were the only sounds aside from quiet whispers between residents. Nopony bothered the petite thing, not out of fear so much as out of curiosity. Everypony wanted to see what she would do next, but nopony wanted to say so much of a word to her. They all jumped a bit when the creature let out a sigh of disappointment.
"I'm BORED... come on everyone! What is there to do around here!?" The petite creature asked as it stomped it's feet on the ground. Nopony responded, just watched as she stood there.
It was finally Spike who stepped up to the front of the crowd to greet the creature, and even though he couldn't shake the feeling of knowing her he still marched towards her. Spike remembered everyponies reaction to Zecora and didn't want a similar situation, plus he felt like this girl was interesting at least.
"Well, if you are wanting something to do, there are plenty of places around to visit. Maybe I could show you around town!" Spike smiled.
"Oooo yeah that sounds fun! Hey are you a dragon?" The creature asked, now jumping with excitement.
"Well, I'm a baby dragon technically... We mature faster than you may thi..."
"AWWWW you're such a cute baby dragon! I remember when I was that small." She, still excited, shouted and reminisced.
"Uh, you are about my same size?" Spike asked confused but pushed the thought aside. "You know what? I know just the pony you need to meet, let's go."
"Oh a new friend? Okay!"
Spike led the girl across town to Sugercube Corner, where he intended to introduce his spastic new friend to her perfect match. Once the building was in site, the girl began jumping for joy again once she saw the giant candy house.
"Ooooo that house looks so cool! Is it made of candy?" The girl asked.
"No, but it is filled with sweets. Come on, the pony is in there!" Spike responded, the girl had so much energy he knew his plan would be perfect.
"Oh! By the way I'm Nowi! Nice to meet you!"
"Oh, well Nice to meet you too Nowi. I'm Spike"
"Aww a baby dragon with a cute name!"
"Hey, just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm a 'baby' you know... We dragons mature faster than normal po..."
"Oh I know, but you really should take advantage of your youth while you can, like me!"
"Uhh noted? Well come on in, I'll treat you to a snack."
Both Spike and Nowi entered the building to be greeted by two other ponies.
"Hey there Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I want you guys to meet my new friend Nowi." Spike introduced as Nowi was awestruck at the inside of the bulding.
"Hello there dearie! Welcome to the Sugercube corn-Er! Uh yeah! Hehehe..." Mrs. Cake started but choked on her sentence when she saw the strange creature walk into the store.
"Don't worry Mrs C, Nowi is cool by me" Spike tried to calm the owner of the store. Her husband followed in to check on the 'Er' sound from his wife only to receive the same reaction.
"Oh, uh... Hello there, how can... I help... you?" He stuttered, not knowing what to expect.
"Oh don't worry about me, I'm just looking around your town. It is really pretty, but nobody want's to play!" Nowi let out a heavy breath, visibly disappointed. "Spike here said he knew someone I could play with for a bit!"
"Oh you must mean Pinkie, Yeah let me go get her!" Mr. Cake responded, voice still wispy from the introduction.
"Are you two hungry at all? I can get some lovely sweets out for you!" Mrs. Cake warmed up to her normal caring self.
"Actually I was going to treat Nowi here to a couple... NOWI!?" Spike's jaw dropped when he saw her pull out a purse filled to the brim with gold coins.
"Bring the whole deal Mrs. Cake!" Nowi smiled as she winked at Spike.
"Oh my, however did you come across so much coin Nowi?" Mrs. Cake asked, resisting the urge to let her jaw drop as well.
"Oh, well I guess you could say I had time to save up!" Again Nowi winked at Spike.
"Well, if she is buying... got any crystals?" Spike smiled really big. Nowi also grinned.
"Of course dearie, with this much coin we could restock on everything we need for months!" Mrs. Cake glowed with gladness. "Oh, well if that is the case then just take it all." Nowi was still smiling, and Spike was staring at her trying to tell if she was joking.
"Oh no, you don't need to that Nowi." Mrs. Cake responded sheepishly as she recovered from the shock of Nowi's generosity.
"Don't worry about it, I got plenty more sparklies back at the camp." Nowi was still smiling as Spike's jaw just dropped even more.
"Oh... Well... Thank you Nowi, you know? You are welcome here anytime you want dearie. Oh here comes Pinki..."
"HI THERE! HOW ARE YOUUUU???" The Pink ball of fuzz burst through the room right in front of Nowi, who sat there and giggled at the ponies energy.
"I'm great! Although I could go for some playtime right about now!" Nowi smiled. Pinkie's own smile only grew larger as Nowi spoke.
"Go on ahead Pinkie, I'm certain we can manage for a while." Mrs. Cake stuttered as she counted the gold in the purse.
"ALL RIGHT!!! LET"S HAVE A PARTY!!!" Pinkie screamed as she grabbed Nowi and pulled her through the door outside.
"Yupp... they are meant for each other..." Spike followed out the door.
That pony had a lot of energy, Spike had trouble keeping track of which way they went. Finally he caught up with them, finding the both of them dancing around in the park. Pinkie had her party cannon and was showering the area with confetti and balloons. Nowi was entranced by the decorations. Spike ran up to join the two girls.
"Hey Pinkie! Wanna see something super duper cool!?" Nowi asked with a grin.
"I always want to see something super duper cool! What is it? A super cool dance? Oh or is it a shiny thing!?"
"Kinda like a shiny, watch this." Nowi reached in her pouch and pulled out a smooth pearl like rock. She clutched it to her chest before thrusting her hand in the air, a bright light blinded Spike and Pinkie. When the blindess subsided, they both watched in awe as Nowi floated above them in her Manakete form.
"Woah! That was AWESOME! Can you show me how to do that!? Can you? Please please please???" Pinkie begged.
"Hee hee, sorry Pinkie but you have to be like me to do it. But check this out!" Nowi did a flip in her new form and launched a giant ball of flame in the air, which flew upwards until it burst like a firecracker.
"Woah Nowi, why didn't you tell me you were a dragon..." Spike asked.
"Because you didn't ask!" She sneered. Spike could see the dragon lips smile as she said it too.
Nowi shifted out of her dragon form and back to her normal shape, then put the dragonstone back into her pouch. Pinkie was dancing around her in an astonished fit as she tried to explain what she saw. Nowi just laughed and continued to play with her new friends. She could tell she would enjoy it here.
