//------------------------------// // Magic Lesson // Story: My New Life With Trixie // by Moniker //------------------------------// My New Life With Trixie The Horseman Magic Lesson Trixie still disappointed walked the stairs creaking with every step. She saw me walking around the room. "Settle down Gabe," she told me. "It's that I was sitting down almost all day," I explained seeing Trixie understood my issue. Trixie sighed. "Okay Gabe," she pat my back. I was glad she understands. "What now?” I asked her taking a bite out of my newly found tasty Dandelion sandwich. "Well, you can walk now, care to go out and buy some things?" she asked I knew she wanted me to. I nodded agreeing to go out to the store. "Okay Trixie," I took a list she gave me in my hoof. "You know, you're a unicorn, you can just hold it in your magic," Trixie spoke in a proud voice. I only shrugged. "I don't know magic," I reminded, "I've only just became a unicorn," I reminded her. Trixie nodded. "That's right," she spoke sheepishly, "Trixie forgot," she admitted still rubbing her back of her head. "I'm going out now, see ya later," I waved my ha... hoof. I looked upon the list it read: Hay Milk Haycon Carrots Oats Salad A new bed (or not) Apples An apple pie "Simple enough," I shrugged. "First, hay where do I buy the hay?" I pondered where to buy it. I stopped a pony. "Excuse me, where do I buy hay?" I asked the pony that I stopped. She looked at me. My teeth were off other than being the only pony that can actually tear meat it was also not brushed. "Well, by the looks of it, you need a trip to the dentist, my name is Minuette, but for some reason ponies keep referring to me as Colgate, I don't know why," she stroked her two blue colored mane. "Yeah, I wonder why," I teased the mare that was clueless. "Anyway, h-" I was dragged away by the blue mare. "This'll take only a moment," she smirked. I was set in a chair. "Hey, I only want to know where I can get hay!" I leapt out of the chair hissing at the pony in the process. "Hey, I can't let such handsome stallion have such odd teeth," Minuette pushed me back. I shoved her off me. "Look, I am not paying for this, these are just my teeth!" I stormed out the door with that. I sighed. "Where to buy hay?" I repeated to myself. "Hey, uh... Scootaloo!" I yelled waving at the magenta maned filly that stopped in front of me. Scootaloo smiled at me. "Hey Gabe, what's up?" she asked taking off her helmet. I sighed at first. "Do you know where to buy hay here?" I asked the little filly. She tapped her chin. She grabbed my shoulder and yanked me away. "Follow me," she spoke. She led me away from town. "Uh... where are we going Scootaloo?" I asked breaking the silence. Scootaloo stopped in front of Zecora's hut. "Here we are, the best place to get hay, Zecora's hut" she smiled happily. "Hey, but, we have a Cutie Mark Crusader meeting in a few minutes," she reminded me that I joined the CMC. "Right," I rubbed my head. I walked in with the magenta maned filly. "Who is it at my door why it is Scootaloo," she said out of her rhyming tone. "Hi Zecora, my friend Gabe here needs some hay," she smiled happily again. Zecora nodded. "Why here you go my friend," she spoke in her not natural rhyming voice. "So... I'll see you around," I spoke and walked out the door. I walked through to the edge of the forest. I despite my sneaky hope was spotted by Apple Bloom. "Hi there Mister, ya the new member?" she asked noticing the lack of a Cutie Mark on what is now called my flank. I sighed. "Y-Yes," I managed to get out. Like expected she yanked me to the clubhouse. three hours of crusading later. "So, ya any good at magic?" AB asked looking at me. "Me? Oh no, not at all," I admitted. Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. "It's easy, I started learning magic three days ago, I am learning from my sister!" her voice squeaked. I chuckled. "Good for you," I can't get over that voice. "I can show you how to perform a spell or two if you want," she offered I pondered the idea. I bit my lip. "Well, I am being given grief for not knowing even the simplest spells, so sure, what's the worst that can happen..." One hour of being taught magic later. "Well... that was something, at least you were able to teleport," Sweetie picked up a few pieces of loose wood that fell off the roof. Hopefully that wasn't important. "Yeah, maybe I'll get some-pony else to teach me," I began walking out. "I guess I better go too, Rarity is probably worried sick, I should've been home three hours earlier," Sweetie admitted she picked up her saddlebag which somehow was covered with tree sap though they weren't outside. "Yeah, I better go too aren't ya goin' ta come too Scoots aren't ya parents goin' ta worry?" Apple Bloom asked the magenta maned filly. Scootaloo nodded. "I'll be going soon," Scoots said, "you can go on," Scootaloo assured. It has been an hour I was watching Scootaloo she held out her hoof and sighed. I saw her grab a little blanket from her saddlebag. I pondered the idea. I shook my head to dismay it. I walked back home. "Where have you been?!" my supposed to be roommate yelled. "I-I didn't get the chance to go to the market, I-I was dragged by the Cutie Mark Crusaders around town," I explained to Trixie. She sighed. "Trixie was just worried," she admitted rubbing my mane I had a few loose pieces of my blonde curly mane sticking up. I slapped her hoof away. "C'mon Trixie," I hissed. My horn lit a yellow bluish color and the next moment I was behind her. "When did you learn that?" she asked seeing some potential in me. "I learned that from Sweetie Belle," I explained seeing somewhat of a happy face on her. She again straightened my mane angering me even more. "Please stop that, Trixie," I told her. She rolled her eyes. "Fine," her tail brushed against my face. "Good night Gabriel," she pat my head shockingly with a motherly touch she kissed my forehead. There was a silence. "What the hell Trixie!?" I sighed with the past action of Trixie. "What is that not what humans do?" she asked cocking her head. I slapped my face... hard. "Yes, but, mothers, girlfriends, and wives do that," I explained getting an 'I don't understand' look from Trixie. She shook her head. "Okay, let's just go to bed," she said leading me up to the bedroom. Too bad it's only a one bed room house from what Trixie tells me. Tomorrow will be an odd day. Wish me luck... again.
