“Why can’t I go?” I complained to my mother after the other girls left.
“For one, you’re cut off from you magic, and two, your stamina is lacking,” she paused for a moment, “I just realized, you’re acting just like a foal…” My eyes widen when she said that.
‘She’s right, I was just acting like a foal. I wonder if the Poison Joke affected my mental processes.’ I pondered.
“Is everything alright, Sunny?” my mother asked in a worried tone. It was at that point I realized I was on the verge of crying.
‘Yep, it definitely affected my thought process.’ “N- nothing, it just an effect that the Poison Joke had on my thought process,” I told her, “Oh, I just realized I forgot to tell you about something I learned I could do when me and Rarity were captured.”
Raising an eyebrow, she said, “You learned something?” Before I could respond, my stomach growled. “Looks like a certain filly is hungry,” my foster mother joked, trying to keep a straight face.
“This is not how I planned this to go today,” I muttered to myself, “I guess I can have an apple,” I said cautiously. After my mother left the room, I released a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. ‘I really hope they find a cure soon,’ I thought as my mother came back into the room with a cut up apple.
“Here you are, my little filly,” she teased again, having a harder time keeping a straight face. I shot a glare at her.
“Not. Funny,” I deadpanned. I’m, for some reason, having a hard time just saying that short sentence. Sighing, I grabbed an apple slice with my hoof (though ever since I got my memory back, I kept wondering what enabled a hoof to grab something) and stuck it in my mouth, beginning to chew. After a few minutes, I finally finished off the apple (and discovered that I didn’t have as many teeth as I used to have, making it harder to eat). “Now where was-” YAWN “- I?” I managed though my exhaustion. ‘Wait, why am I tired all of a sudden?!’ I thought as it became harder and harder to keep my eyes open.
“It looks like it’s a certain filly’s nap-time.” my mother snickered, no longer being able to keep a straight face.
“No, I’m not tired,” I managed between yawns, “Not…. tired…. at all…..” I managed as I drifted into slumber.
For the first time in my life here in Equestria, the Sun decided to be my enemy. As I opened my eyes, I released a yawn as I looked around the room. At first, I was confused when I realized that everything seemed to be bigger than me, but then I remembered. 'I can't believe that all of this wasn't a dream....' I thought bitterly. Stretching, I got off the bed and started to walk through the open door, heading into the living room. When I entered the room, I noticed that Twilight was waiting for me, next, I noticed that her horn was back to normal. "Hey, Twilight." I managed between yawns.
"Hey, Sunny. How did you sleep?" she asked.
"Could have been better," I told her, "Though, how long was I out for?"
"Since noon," she told me. Taking a look at the clock in the room, I noticed it read six-thirty.
"Wait, you mean I was asleep for six hours?!" I asked, annoyed, "Why didn't you try to wake me?"
"We couldn't wake you," she said simply, "Come on, let's get you cured," she told me as she picked me up, putting me on her back.
"Hey! I can walk!" I protested, though I made no attempt to get off, as she would just put me back on her back. Giving me a smirk, she started to walk out the front door. After a short (and humiliating) trot over to the spa, I was brought to a room with a hot tub filled with what appeared to be water. "Seriously? Water is the cure?!" I asked, barely able to keep my anger in check.
"Not alone, there are herbs and other ingredients in there as well," she told me. Sighing, I reluctantly lowered myself into the water, going under to get the full effect. As I sat there, I could feel my strength and magic returning. After a few more seconds, I came back from under the water. "Did it work...?" I started before realizing my voice was still higher pitched. Seeing a glass of water, I instinctively used my magic to levitate it over to me, taking a sip out of it before putting it back.
"Your magic returned," Twilight noted, "Though you're still the size of a young filly."
"Jeez, Twilight, I never would of guessed," I replied with a roll of my eyes. Getting out of the tub, I proceeded to levitate a towel over to my to dry myself off when I saw a violet aura engulf the towel. 'Uh oh,' was all I had time to think before I was covered by the towel, getting dried vigorously. After the towel finally lifted off of me, I shot a glare at Twilight, who bore a sheepish grin. "Really, Twilight? You too?" I asked. Releasing a sigh, I told her, "Ok, let's get back to the house, I need to send a letter." Another short trot later, we arrived back at my house, where I proceeded to get an quil and some paper out. 'She is so going to do something to me next time she's over...' I thought with dread.
