I did a quick scan over the room, in which I found a collective of shock and surprise on their faces.
“So does this mean that we can move stuff with our minds now?” Scootaloo piped up.
I admit, that gotten me curious, “I’m not exactly sure if all of you would do the exact same thing that Rarity did. After all, not all of your counterparts were unicorns.”
“What do you mean by that?” Celestia asked.
“Let me try something,” I walked over to Rainbow’s desk and told her to get out of her seat and stand on top of her desk. When she did, I told her, “Try jumping off and fly a little.”
She looked behind her back, “But I don’t have wings.”
“And she doesn't have a horn,” I pointed to Rarity to make this point, “But that didn’t stop her.”
“I don’t know if I-” I snapped my fingers, making the desk she was standing on to disappear right under her. Now here’s the part where I press the slow-motion button to see what I saw. At the first few inches, her eyes widen as her brain realized she was falling. Her mouth opens and her legs began to adjust to the upcoming floor. Suddenly, about halfway down, we saw from her back had sprung open with blue wings as that was outlined by a blue light. Before she could touch the ground, her wings materialized to where there was a physical form, and those said wings had flapped in time to keep her off the floor. And now, press play, “Huh?” Rainbow looked down.
Celestia, Luna, and Faust’s jaws hit the floor.
“Dash!” Scoot’s called out, getting out of her desk, “You’re flying!”
Rainbow looked around for a bit, “Okay, that’s weird.”
“That’s, weird?” Luna questioned, “Rainbow Dash, you’re flying, in the air, and your response is, ‘that’s weird’?!”
“How are you even doing that?” Twilight asked, getting out of her seat as well, trying to feel around for wires.
“Well, it did happen before, just not exactly like this,” Rainbow responded.
“This happened before!?” Faust got out of her seat as well.
“Well yeah,” Pinkie answered, “But usually there’s singing, and our hair grows longer, and we get pointy ears-”
“Y’all mean yer band practice?” Applebloom interrupted.
“What?” Faust asked in complete confusion.
“Hold on everyone,” Sunset called out, and we looked at her, “Discord?”
“What?” we both asked, she rolled her eyes. “I mean the Discord from Equestria. If what you’re saying is true, and that there’s now actual, real magic in the human world that’s spreading, how far has it got to?”
“Let me see,” he turned back to the chalkboard and whipped it clean before drawing a circle with a line down the middle before it reached the center of it. The line moved clockwise, revealing a map of the whole country plus a few others. We noticed that our town was at the very center of this chalky radar. The second way around the board, the line was making a “Pong!” sound, revealing a cloud that encompassed about a third of the country from where we were.
“Fascinating,” I muttered, trading my coat for a navy blue coat with a parrot and an eye-patch. “So does this mean that all the magic that they’ve unleashed is all in the middle?”
“Yep,” my other self nodded. “By the looks of it… I think it’s growing a bit.”
Faust came right up front of the board to take a good look at where the magic is. “Excuse me, would either of you mind if I step out for a moment.”
“Sure,” my other self said, reaching into his pocket and giving her a card that was on a yarn necklace. “Just don’t forget your hall pass.”
She opened her mouth but shaking her head, she closed it and took the pass as she heads out the door, putting a hand over her hear.
“Agent M, this is Agent F, could you take a look at anything strange within a nine-hundred-mile radius from here?” So with that, she stepped out of the door.
“So,” Sunset said, “Does this mean that I have my magic back now? If that were true, then that would mean that I might be…. What? I’m the second most powerful pon- person on earth?”
“Make that third,” my other self said. “As far as powerful ponies go in this room, you are third compared to us,” he stretched his arm around my shoulder. “And even then, we’re still a close second to her?”
“Do you mean Twilight?” Fluttershy asked.
“Nope, I mean their mother,” he looked over to Celestia and Luna. “I must sadly admit that no one, not even me, holds so much as a flashlight compared to Madame Faust. Trust me, even before I was ever turned into stone, she and I had a fight and… let’s just say that the universe that I know and love was extremely lucky that it’s still there at all.”
Wait… What did he mean by that?
“But, what do we do now?” Celestia inquired, “I mean we’ve just learned that everybody within a nine-hundred-mile radius from our town now has, well, magic but we’re the only ones to have realized this.”
“Oh dear, she’s right,” Shimmer said, turning a bit pale. “If word gets out that everyone has magic that no one has any idea of what to do or how to work it properly, the result might be total chaos.”
“Not a bad trade-off if you’d ask me,” my other self replied.
“She’s right,” Sweetie Belle chimed in, “Plus, we don’t know what kind of powers everyone now has! I mean, what if bad guys hear about this, like Sombra, or even worse?”
“Well you do have a point,” I muttered, thinking back to all the ones that I know who are in jail and the Mental Hospital. Names popped in my head. Names like Gregor, Somnablua, Tirek, Sombra, and Chrysalis. What if they realized they had powers too, what would they do with it given their past record?
Or even frightening still, would Principal Cadence use her magic to be an out of control cupid?
“WHAT?!” Faust’s voice shirked from behind the door. “WHERE?!” her demands silenced everyone and their thoughts for a moment before her head popped from behind the door. “Celestia, Luna, it looks like I’m going to have to run now. It seems that I’m going to get quite busy for a while. Julius, would either you or you're other you please show me out? It’s a maze outside of this room and I don’t want to get lost in here. Also, thank of you dears so much for what you’ve done here.”
“You’re welcome,” I said, and with that, I had her teleported outside of my house.
Welp... Looks like the genie's out of the bottle... And he is really PI***D off!
Hmm. So will human Scoots be able to fly in your 'verse?
5875978 To be honest, I have no idea. I haven't thought about it until now. Should I?
Mr Disc just jinxed everyone...So what now, is there going to be some series of chapters revolving around capturing these wayward magic users?
5875990 Heck if I know. Whether Scoots can fly in this situation would depend on your headcanon regarding the cause of pony Scoots' flightlessness and perhaps on human Scoots' age. If you don't want it to be a plot point, you never have to address it. I was just curious.
Love love
Love this story
I see some familiar ideas here
It should be rather interesting to see where this goes. I'd be sad if they somehow removed all the magic to restore everything to the status quo. The Magic Comes Back is always an interesting scenario when done well. In Canterlot High's case, a new branch of classes, though I wonder what the Earth Pony equivalents will be like.
I'm curious if there is any long term transformative effects from pony magic saturating everything. I mean when they did the band thing they grew pony extremities. And what about Twilight's Dog?
5875990
I say yes, if only because the CMC aren't that much younger than their sisters in this setting (2-3 years?) while the CMC are significantly younger than their sisters in Equestria. Have at least High School age be the cutoff for magic usage in my opinion.
I just thought of something. What about sunset shimmer's human counterpart, Will she be making an appearance any time soon?
5884142 An interesting idea. I haven't quite thought about it until now...

5851034 Also, everyone, I must say I'm sorry for not posting as many chapters as I would have liked. These past few weeks have been quite the sucker punch for everyone here. For me, school is about to end and everything is being thrown into total chaos. But don't worry though, I promise that I will produce a chapter or two whenever I get the chance to breathe. But as of now, I just want Summer to be here already.
5884380 YAY inspiration, i like to think that the human sunset dropped out or went to college around the time pony sunset came onto the scene, but then again I don't know how long pony sunset was actually in the human world
well it is no wonder that everything is going to chaos, you are writing for not one but two chaos entities, and despite having similar minds their personalities are completely different.
5884482 I was refering to school being chaotic, but that works too.
Ya know, I was actully thinking about having them discuss why their personalities are so diffrent. I've been hinting this a few times but I just get distracted with another idea.
Plus, I'm still trying to figure out how to get Mr. D hallucinating again... Hmm. Should or shouldn't I get human Fluttershy and Applebloom get caught up in this...?
5884380
Take all the time you need my friend! :)
Get things cleared up so nothing come back to haunt you... Trust me on that... -_-iii
5884571 well considering Mr. disc on the pill is like discord being turned to stone then I would say yes. he already got off the pill once in Equestria which was similar to when discord was released the first time. now he just needs to get off the pill again but have a friend near by to help him through the hallucinations
You know, after these next few chapters, it feels like this story is just gonna die out from no ideas...
What about the sirens... I'm sure they would sense the magic....
Somnambula? The heck did SHE do?

This was before she was rewritten as a good guy. As in before the pillars.
