//------------------------------// // Wishes // Story: Careful What You Wish For // by ImWithYouAllTheWay //------------------------------// Chapter 4 Lilly jumped back, startled. "W-who are you?" she asked. "No questions." the pony said. "Only answers." Lilly turned around confused. "What?" she asked, turning around. She suddenly noticed who it was. "Led Streamer?"she gasped. "Hello, my flower." he said, grinning. "I'm not your flower." she said, gritting her teeth. "Yes, yes, whatever." the teenage colt said. Lilly almost growled. Ponies can forgive, and keep forgiving, but what he did to her two years ago was unbearable. He had told everyone they were dating, that they loved each other! That little lie had set her to Spike's 'Friend' zone. "What are you even doing here?" Lilly asked, irritated. "Oh, I was going into PonyVille to get some supplies for Trixie, and I saw you." he said. "Now, may I ask, why were you crying?" Lilly suddenly looked down, ashamed. "Well...um...dragon...problems." she answered. "Oh, I see," Led said. Lilly quickly got up. She sighed, turning to walk home. "Hey," Led said, stopping her. "Trixie might be able to help you." Lilly perked up. "Really?" The blue unicorn levitated a book over to the table the three ponies were sitting at. Out of all the places Trixie could have picked to live, she picked an abandoned house at the edge of the Everfree Forest. "So, your crush?" she asked. "Crushed you?" Lilly frowned, almost starting to cry again. "Yes, can we please move on." she said. "Pushy..." Led teased. Lilly glared at him. "What can you do?" she asked. "Well," Trixie answered, turning to a page in the book which had two ponies kissing. "this spell will make your crush fall in love with you. Unlike that Love Poison that your friends made, this one is safer. The pony, or er, dragon will suddenly be attracted to you, when he finally sees that he has feelings for you, he will start to get nervous around you. When that happens, get ready for him to ask you out." Lilly was practically jumping in her seat. "Well, what are we waiting for?" she said. "Let's do the spell!" Trixie smiled. "Now, don't get excited yet." she said. "Led will tell you the rest of the details." "Well," Led began. "even though this is safer than the Love Poison, it still has some defects like if you guys get two close than maybe he will..." Lilly's ear suddenly blocked out all the sound, all she could imagine was Spike at her feet, begging for her to take him as her very special some-dragon.... "Now, you got that?" Lilly snapped back to reality. "Um...of course." she agreed, not having the slightest idea what he had been saying. "Good, now." Trixie said. "Say these words, and your wish will come true." Lilly gulped hard, concentrating on the spell. Magic moon Quarter bright Give me what I ask tonight A little love Is all I need I can do the rest indeed The one I love, he needs a nudge Into my arms, where he can’t budge And there he will forever stay For all of our remaining days. Suddenly, a big flash surrounded the room, causing Lilly to go blind for a moment, then, everything went black, as the clock struck 12.
