The True Me

Chapter 17 - A new opportunity

As Sam and I were at home, we were practicing transfiguration. I had the idea to make some cards just in case I ever needed them. We were just about to finish the 139th card when someone knocked. I sigh as I go and open the door. It was Twilight.

"Oh hey, What are you doing?

"Sam and I were just practicing some transfiguration. It's kinda complicated."

"Really? What are you making?"

"Custom cards."

"Huh?"

"Cards from a game that I used to know."

"Really? Can I see them?"

"Sure, come on so I can show you." I open the door for her to come in and I bring her to where the cards are. They all had their own unique art and name, as well as effects.

"Wow. That's a lot of cards. What do they all do?" Twilight asked

"You'll see. Hopefully, they work."

"What do you mean?"

"I made these so that each of them when I pull them out when I'm not in a duel against somebody, they have an effect in the real world. I'm trusting the magic that's covering the entire world to make magical constructs for the creatures."

"And the spells?"

"I made those so that they work on me or whatever I point it at."

"Oh ok. So these can make you stronger than you are right now?"

"Yeah, the numbers on them are the multipliers. The number on the left is the multiplier that will amplify my strength. And the number on the right is the multiplier that will amplify my toughness, or how much damage I can take."

"You see to have planned this all out well. But these creatures..." Her voice falters when she imagines the cover art on the cards coming to life. She shivers a little bit at the horror.

"I hope I don't need to pull them out, I'll only use them when I need too."

"Alright." She then looks at me. "Where are you going to be keeping these? Because these are too powerful to just be kept lying around."

"I'm keeping them on my person at all times. 24/7." She nods and sighs in relief at that answer. She trusted my judgment with this type of power. Mainly because I was used to huge and overwhelming amounts of power. "But how much of a multiplier are you going to get if you use all of these?" She picks up one of them.

"Um... Around 700 times? I'm not entirely sure, I haven't counted them all up yet." I shrug

"That's quite a lot." She sighs and puts it down.

"Yeah. Anyway, what did you come here to talk about? I'm assuming you didn't come here just to see how I was doing."

"Am I that see-through?" She laughs a little and looks at me

"Like a ghost."

"Well... I came to talk to you about Fluttershy."

"Huh? What's wrong with her? Is she ok?" I ask worried

"She's fine, it's just.... She seems to be a bit more distant than usual."

"Really?" I was just about to ask why when I remembered what happened between us two. "Is it because I found out she liked me?"

"I think so." She nods. "But I don't exactly why she's acting like this. And none of my books give me any insight into it. I asked rarity about it since she has the most experience with love, But she only said 'Isn't it obvious?' And left it at that for me to figure out. And the rest of my friends aren't really suited in the ways of love. So I decided to come to you."

"And you didn't think to ask Fluttershy why she was acting this way in the first place?" It made sense, just not that much.

"I asked, but she didn't really want to talk at the moment." She sat down

"Yeah, that's how I would react as well. Hell, I did act like that before."

"Really? When?"

"On earth. You remember when Pinkie Pie was saying something before I cut her off?"

"Um, yeah. It was something like 'Especially with your feelings toward.' she said before you cut her off." She looked at me.

"Yeah... back on earth, I had a crush on a girl named Faith. I...... I (Beep)ed up majorly." I sigh not caring that I was just censored.

"What did you do?"

"Once I realized my feelings for her, I began to write notes and put them in her locker. She tried finding out who it was that was sending them. She suspected me, but here's where is screwed up. I didn't want to her to know I had feelings for her, yet I did. So I told her that it wasn't me leaving those notes. Then, in my next note, I acted like I was a completely different person. I didn't even say the name of the person I was acting like, but there.... I had committed a crime called fraud. Faith showed the notes to the police officer that works in the school, and I was sent to the office. Faith came and saw that it was me who was leaving the notes. I had lied to her and made her worried about me." I buried my face in my hands. "She hasn't talked to me since. And then, I just moped around the school and my house. I didn't act out, but I was just... there. I didn't make any contributions, yet I didn't cause any disturbances either. It was unsettling for other people the lack of emotion that I showed around others. but in private... I was angry, depressed and sad. That's probably how Fluttershy is feeling right now." I look up. "I need to see her right now. I don't want her to hurt. I'll see you later Twilight." I got up and ran out the door towards Fluttershy's house.

Author's Note:

How's this for a chapter? Potential crossover material. and a renewal in love? Plus some backstory about what happened between Me and Faith? (the crossover is because I made objects from a different place. It causes a paradox to happen.)
