//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: Maybe if I get to... // by Fat1thatyoulove //------------------------------// Chapter 6 – I love normal days Your head still holds its pressure building stuffiness but your a little grateful that your ears have finally stopped ringing. The orange stallion trots in front of you with the wand in his mouth and the snoring rabbit on his back. You hold a slight stare to the rabbit as you think to yourself, how can Fluttershy have a pet like that? Volt stops by the door for a second as he waits for you to meet up with him, he holds a smile as he talks to you, "Well hope to see you around, but if I don't get back soon i'll be out of a job." You give him a friendly smile as you open the door to Stony's house, "Ok Stony we..." You stop your voice as you look around the frost covered floors and furniture, "W-what?..." You bring your eyes to the empty couch for a second before you snap them back to the small grey stallion sitting on the ground with an almost frozen in shock expression. "Stony! What did you do?" You voice snaps the pony back to live as he shifts his eyes to you. Volt cuts in front of you as he holds his hoof out, "Did Sparky do this?" His voice almost has a sense of pride in it as he looks around the room, but his parenting over takes it as he talks, "I told that colt not to bring clouds inside." The grey stallion's voice is shaky and low as he talks, "I gave the purple one a zap apple...and now my house is a snow globe..." Volt turns his head back to you as he holds a confused stare, "Your daughter can do weather spells?" You hold your eyes to Stony as you give a sigh, your headache now runs a little fast as you look around the frosted room your own daughter did...but at the same time you can’t stop yourself from giving a slight laugh to the room. Stony's ear flicks to the laugh as he talks, "You think this is funny?" He stops his voice as his horn sparks up in a blue glow, the wand from Volt is floated over towards him along with the still sleeping rabbit that's floated towards the couch, "Well at least I got this back." You shake your head as you talk, "Where's Violet?" The grey stallion shakes his head as he crosses his front hooves, "I do not know where the unwanteds are I left the room to put a plate up and this is what I saw." Your heart drops to his words as you hold your hoof to him, "You had better hope she's in this house." At the end of your words you hear a very faint and slightly muffled childlike laughter, you turn your head to a wooden cabinet as you listen to the laugh. You move slowly towards the door as you move your hoof to it, but you waste no time as you pull the door open and look down to the two ponies in it. "Ah, you fownd us." Sparky stares up to your face as he holds a slightly disappointed smile. You shift your eyes to the light purple filly, her mane that Twilight combs to match her own no longer resembles it and now has a prominent frizz to it, as she moves her eyes to you she wiggles her hooves up to you with a bright innocent smile. Volt trots next to you as Sparky and Violet come out from the cabinet, "Sparky say you're sorry." The colt lets out a little sigh as he talks, "But dad?" The stallion shakes his head as he talks, "No buts, you're older." Sparky rubs at his leg with his hoof as he looks to the ground, "Sorry Tom-stone." Stony squints his eyes to the colt as he talks, "Fine yes you can go, unseriös has paid his debt to me." Volt rolls his eyes to Stony's words as he looks down to the little colt, "Come on Sparky we need to get going." He nods to you as he trots towards the door. "awww..." Sparky trots next to his dad as he turns back to Violet as he waves his hoof a little, "Goodbye Viowit." Violet blinks to the unfamiliar hoof motion as she copies it but she slightly loses her smile as she watches the colt following after the stallion without another hoof gesture. You look over her confused face as you scoop her from the ground and direct your voice to Stony, "Good bye Stony." The grey stallion shakes his head as he talks, "What? No I still need you two." You squint to his words as you talk, "Oh ya whys that?" Stony moves his hoof around the room as he talks, "My house is a snow globe, I need some of Violet's mane to make a fix-me-now spell." You sigh to his words as you talk, "What? No shes not going to drink her own mane." Stony's horn glows a faint blue as he shakes his head, "Different kind of spell, now sit her on the couch next to the evil one." You give another sigh as you carry her over to the couch where Angel is still sleeping. As you place her down her eyes move to the white rabbit as she holds a baby like O face to the weird creature. Stony comes over with his scissors and a jar as he holds his eyes to Violet. "Wait." Your own magic engulfs around the scissors as you float them from his grasp, "Let me do it." Stony rolls his eyes as he floats the jar towards Violet, "Yes fine whatever can we do this before it melts?" You ignore him as you float the scissors away from Violet, your voice goes a little soft as you talk, "Violet stay still ok?" Violet holds a smile to you as she watches the scissors float over towards her, you're careful as you bring the tips in between a few strands of mane, but as you start to cut she gives a happy hoof wiggle and you accidentally cut a little more than you should. Stony lets out a laugh as he floats the strands of mane into the jar, "Perfect betrunken you should do manes all the time." He floats the jar of dark purple mane towards his face as he stares into the jar and walks away in a slight, "Hmmm." You bite at your lip a little as you look to the new point of mane that Violet has instead of the leveled line bangs like Twilight. Violet doesn't seem to care as she wiggles her hoofs to your staring eyes. Your eyes move to the bow on her tail, Twilight has hair bands...I can hide this. You turn back to Stony as you talk, "Hey can you just teleport us back?" Stony lifts his head from the jar as he laughs again, "I am a small unicorn, so small magic...so no you walk." "What? But you said you teleported me?" Stony sets the jar to the table as he blows to the comment, "Yes, with a written spell that I only have a few of." You shake your head as you talk, "Ya lets use that." Stony gives a little laugh as he talks, “Why would I waste a spell that very few ponies can still create.” He stops as he looks at your face, he starts to tap his hoof to his mouth as he continues, "You need to get back fast don’t you?" You nod your head. The grey stallion smiles as he trots over to you with an empty jar, "Than I require more of your mane." He holds his hoof out to you as he talks, "Your mane has a different magic too, much different than other unicorns...I could use that.” You roll your eyes as you talk, "Fine go for it." He smiles as he trots forwards with the jar and scissors, "Good, now do not stumble betrunken." You feel the scissors cut through your mane as you stare at Stony's happy face, the jar is filled a little more than you thought it would be by the time he was done. You rub your hoof over your head as you try and make sure theres no bald spot, you may feel older but that doesn't mean you want to look older. Stony stares at the mane in the jar silently for a moment as he presses it to his face. "Hey, the spell?" He rolls his hoof to you as he talks, "Yes." His horn glows a faint blue as a box underneath the table opens up to hundreds of tiny pieces of paper. You hold your hoof out to the papers as you talk, "I thought you said you only had a few?" Stony laughs as he shakes his head, “No, I said very few ponies can make these kind of spells...” He looks over your extended hoof as he talks, “Ooh, you were bit.” You move your hoof back as you stare at it, “Is that bad?” The grey stallion shrugs as he hoovers a paper to you, “I have no idea, but I believe you will have a very bad rash and itch...” He laughs as he points his hoof to you, “HA, good luck explaining that to your mare.” Your unamused to him as you hover the paper from his grasp. Stony stops his laugh as he nods his head, "Anyways once you use this spell it will burn up so clear your mind and do a normal teleportation spell right...you will not get another spell from me." You shake your head as you trot back to the little filly patiently sitting on the couch with half closed tired eyes. You scoop her up as she gives a silent yawn. You close your eyes to Stony's dark colored house as you try and picture in your mind the bright colorful books of the library and oak brown wood of the room, you throw in the stuffy homey book smell for good measure as you feel the tingling under your coat starting to grow a little more prominent. A slight rush of swishing air runs past your ears and you feel a little weightless, but you open your eyes as you hear a slight poofing chime around your head. You open your eyes to the library as you tilt your ear up and call out to the house, "Twilight?" After a few seconds of no reply you quickly move Violet to her high chair as you try and plan out your next action. Ok, dart up stairs, hair band, dart back down stairs, than-...your mind is cut off as you hear the door behind you open up with a tomboyish voice and Twilight's. You turn around to the door as you look at Twilight, Rainbow and Spike, as you bring your face to them Rainbow lets out a laugh, "Did you try to cut your own mane?" You move your eyes to the uneven bangs that drop in front of your eyes as you talk, "Uh..." But your voice is cut off as Twilight hoovers a small light purple pouch from her side, "Did you cut Violet's too?" Before you can speak up Rainbow taps her hoof to her mouth and speaks up, "You know, I like it." You look back to Violet as you notice the filly has slightly the same pointed mane as Rainbows. Twilight nods her head to her friends words as she trots towards you and Violet, "It does bring out her blue eyes a little bit more." Violet wiggles her hooves to Twilight as she gets closer, Twilight hovers the pouch close to her as she smile to the wiggling filly, "Look Violet Rarity was able to make you a lunch bag incase you decide to start preschool." Violet gives a little yawn as Twilight floats the bag to the table. Twilight giggles a little as she moves to the high chair and scoops the little filly up, "Is somepony tired?" You take hold of the change in conversation as you talk, "So how did it go?" No answer comes from Twilight as Rainbow's tomboyish voice sparks up, "Aw it was so cool! You should have seen all the lightning!" You squint to her words as you talk, "For making a dress?" Twilight trots past you as she carries Violet towards the stairs, "Fluttershy's dress wasn't just needing fixing, somepony put a magical hex on it." Rainbow nods her head happily as she talks, "YA, I was just stopping by but it took all day to figure out how to stop the dumb thing." She rolls her hoof as she talks, "SO much better than cloud duty." You shift your eyes back to Twilight as you talk, "So did you get the dress started?" Twilight shakes her head as she sighs, "No...Rarity didn't have time to start, I barely got to pick out a color." She ends her sentence as the sight of her is lost behind the top of the staircase. Rainbow spreads her wings out a little as she moves her head back to you, "Well I need to get going, I still have something I need to do." She gives a little snicker as she looks you over again, "Don't try and cut any more mane, I don't think your cutie mark is going to be in mane cutting." You roll your eyes to the comment as you nod your head, "Bye Rainbow." She gives you a smile as she takes herself from the ground, "C'ya Cheesy." You close the door behind her as Spike gives a little groan, "I'm glad that dress was cursed, it was so boring..." You give a little chuckle as you watch him walk into the other room. The sound of hooves on the stairs comes back to the room as you look up to the lavender mare on the top of the stairs, "So what did you two do today?" You give a little sigh as you smile to her, "Nothing unusual for us...but I think we should talk a little more about a few things." You trot over to where Twilight's list still sit from this morning that's now next to the light purple pouch as you sit down in the chair. End of chapter 6
