Magic school 11

>”Good afternoon Twilight.” Celestia greeting Twilight as she walks through the door.
>”Celestia, you're a bit early for Pinkies party.” Twilight stepping aside to let Celestia and two guards through.
>The guards take post just inside the building, one of them closing the door.
>”I'm afraid I won't be able to make it, some things came up with minotaur royalty visiting on such short notice. Its a mess.” Celestia waves a hoof dismissing the subject.
>”I came by because I need to talk with Anonymous about some choices he has for school.”
>”Choices?” Twilight tilting her head slightly.
>Celestia nods to her student before looking at Spike and you.
>”Good Afternoon Spike, Anonymous.” She says with a motherly smile.
>Celestia takes a seat across from you, adopting a more serious tone she begins to speak.
>”I don't have much time, but your teachers have requested you be put into special classes.”
>Special classes? Like special-ed? Do they have special-ed magic classes?
>With the thoughts bouncing around your head you ask the only question you feel should be asked.
“What kind of special classes?”
>”Well, we have several special classes, some for helping a unicorn...or new magic users to better understand their abilities and learn magic.” Celestia correcting her self quickly.
>”And other classes to strengthen our students magical abilities.”
“So one is to better learn magic so that I may understand it easier?”
>”Correct.” Celestia nods.
>Twilight comes into view with a steaming tea pot and tea cups.
“And the other class is to push what I have learned so that its easier?”
>”Hmm.” Celestia picks up a tea cup Twilight just poured and blows on it.
>”It's more like...” The look on Celestia's face says shes trying to find a simple term to put it in.
>”It's more hands on, if that makes sense.” Celestia taking a sip.
>”Twilight, this tea is amazing!” Celestia complimenting Twilight.
>”Thank you, Rarity suggested it to me, a stallion sells it just outside the market place.”
>Celestia takes another sip before turning back to you.

>”The reason I needed to talk with you Anonymous is I understand you have a limited amount of time in Equestria before you have to return home, if you wish to continue going through normal classes that's fine, but these two advanced classes have room to take you if you wish.”
>Rubbing your chin you put a bit of thought into it.
“So, if I take these classes will I still be part of the program?”
>”Yes,” Celestia nods.
“Well, I guess I don't see why not. I want to learn everything I can.”
>Celestia smiles, clearly happy with your answer.
>”I'm sure Professor Waltz will be pleased with your response.”
>Professor Waltz? The brown pony from the magic test?
>Celestia releases a small but audible sigh.
>”As much as I would love to stay I need to get back to Canterlot, don't need Minotaur royalty waking Luna up.” Celestia releases a small giggle before standing up.
>Both Twilight and you do the same.
>”Uh Celestia,” Twilight grabbing her attention.”
>”I was wondering, I rather enjoy being in Anon's class and helping him learn magic.” She kicks one of her hooves on the wood floor nervously.
>”Is there any chance I could...”
>Twilight unable to finish her request, but Celestia seems to pick up on it.
>”I'll have a talk with the teachers.” Celestia giving both of you a smile.
>Twilight walks Celestia to the door, both of the guards exit before them.
>”Don't be afraid to come see me Twilight, you're in Canterlot for two more weeks.” Celestia says jokingly to Twilight.
>Twilight just giggles nervously as she shuffles around a bit more before nodding to her teacher.
>”And Anonymous, can I request to see you before you leave Equestria?”
>Bit off guard you stumble with words.
“Uh yes, I'll come by before I buy my ticket home.”
>Celestia nods saying her goodbyes.
>After Twilight watches Celestia leave she closes the door and comes inside.

>Spike seems to have disappeared, some noise from the kitchen tells you where he may be.
>Twilight takes a seat across from you.
>”Special classes with Professor Waltz, I heard he's an amazing teacher.”
“Really? What kind of class does he teach?”
>”Hm a lot of his students become guards, he likes to find a strong point of a unicorn and focus on that. He may be able to help you better understand how your magic works, more then I can.”
“What if I don't want to be a guard?”
>”Well you don't have to, but hes a good teacher. I think my brother was in his class.”
>You let the conversation drop seeing as how you really don't have much else to ask or offer.
>Grabbing the book you were reading you get up and place it back on the shelf in its original spot.
>Stretching your neck out you take a look outside.
>Sun's out and you're inside?
“Hey,” you call out to Twilight. “Why don't you show me around town, looks like a pretty nice day and the party isn't for sometime.”
>”Alright, that's a great idea!”
>With something to do you quickly put on your shoes as you hear Twilight talking with Spike.
>Ready to go Twilight comes out of the kitchen saying her goodbye to Spike for the time being.
>Following Twilight out the door and into the sunlight you are forced to squint till your eyes adjust.
>”Is there anything in particular you want to see?”
“Not really, just the town. I didn't get a good look at it when we first came through. I remember Sugercube Corner though.”
>Not sure how you could forget a building like that.

>Twilight looks around a bit before choosing a direction.
>She begins her small tour of the town, pointing out various things in the distance such as Sweet Apple Acres, and the Everfree Forest.
>Various shops and small parks.
>Local town pond of some kind with some ponies swimming in it.
>She leads you around pointing things out, you found a lot of ponies waving at both of you, You tested this by falling back a bit and noticed they would turn themselves just to wave at you.
>The friendliness shown is something well... not new to you but for a whole town is odd.
>Canterlot they just pass you up as a minotaur of some kind and continue on with their lives, these ponies know you are a friend of Twilight's and give you the same greeting they give her.
>Your attention is pulled to a White unicorn with purple mane surrounded by some fillies staring up a nearby tree.
>”Opal sweetie come down!” she cries up the tree.
>Her horn glows causing a branch on the tree to shake back and forth nothing else seems to happen.
>Twilight sees and hears all this and changes directions towards the tree.
>A rather colorful building is near the tree, looks like something from a circus but not as exciting.
>”Rarity whats wrong?” Twilight joining the mare in looking up the tree.
>”Oh Twilight! Its awful, Opal has gone and gotten herself stuck in this tree and refuses to let go.”
>The three fillies have already noticed you as you walk up and stand next to Twilight.
>Getting a full view of whats going on now you see a rather fuzzy white cut clinging to a branch.
>It tinted purple color surrounds the cat and attempts the lift it, but it refuses to let go.
>After watching this unfold for a bit you decide to stop Twilight.
“Twilight, I think you might want to stop, pull any harder and you could hurt him.”
>”Her,” The white mare corrects you.
“Sorry her.”
>You can see Twilight doesn't want to give up but knows you're right.
>”But how do we get her down?”
“Hmm.” You rub your chin as you look at the cat, following the branch to the tree it looks sturdy enough.
>The tree it self looks climbable.
“I might be able to get her...”

>Twilight quirks can eyebrow, the white mare known as Rarity quickly rushes into your view.
>”Oh my goodness could you please!” she begs.
>”No offense Anonymous, your tall but not that tall.” Twilight pointing out.
>And she is correct, even if you were to reach up its still an arms length away.
>Rolling your shoulder as you take a few steps to the side.
>You can already feel the questioning looks from the small group under the tree.
>Instead you sprint forward, getting close enough you jump at the tree making sure to land with a foot ready to push off.
>Grabbing a branch you spin turn around pushing off with your foot grabbing the branch the cats located at.
>With a bit of struggling you managed to get yourself onto the branch.
>Carefully maneuvering across it towards the cat it begins hissing up a storm.
>When its with it arms reach you stick your hand out just for it to smell.
>It sniffs your hand before it pulls its head back clearly not interested in you and more interested in hanging onto the branch.
>Putting your hand over the cat it begins to growl, grabbing it by the scruff of its neck and quickly pulling it doesn't go completely limp but limp enough so that you can begin prying it off the branch.
>With the cat detached from the tree you look downwards at the ponies below.
“Can you hold her, rather not hold her like this anymore.”
>A blue glow surrounds the cat, letting go the cat takes a quick swing at your hand before floating down slowly to its owner.
>The top of your hand begins to burn, taking at looks its already beginning to bleed.
“Ow fuck.” you curse, covering your hand with your shirt to put some pressure on it.
>”Language! There are fillies down here!” Rarity screams up at you.
“Sorry, sorry.” you say quickly.
>Grabbing the branch you quickly slide off.
>Stopping yourself once before letting go and landing to the ground.
>”Wow that was so cool!” Some of the nearby fillies start.
>Wrapping your hand up the small group huddles around you.
>”Wow Anonymous, that was impressive.” Twilight says before taking notice of your hand.
>”Are you alright?” she asks.



“Yeah, cat took a swipe at me when I let it go.” unwrapping your hand you take a look.
>Its not deep but its fairly long and stings like hell.
>”My goodness! Quick come inside!” Rarity grabbing your hand with magic.
>”You must let me patch you up before you get blood on your clothes.”
“Bit late for that...” you say while pointing to the spot with your other hand.
>Rarity gives you a very displeased look as she tugs even harder.
>You would stop her but with Twilight on one side and the three fillies on the other you just decide to go with.
>Being rushed inside the circus looking tent you find it looks much different on the inside with various pony mannequins wearing dresses, saddles and hats.
>So many bright colors popping out at you, your almost surprised when you are dragged into the kitchen it has a much more neutral tone, no fancy designs or mannequins.
>”Sit, sit!” Rarity says as a several drawers fly open.
>Several objects fly onto a nearby table as you take a seat with your hand still out.
“It really doesn't hurt.” you say but you are immediately shushed.
>”It doesn't matter, a scratch like that could get infected and I refuse to let that happen to someone who just saved my little opal.”
>Turning your head to Twilight, you sigh.
“Alright.” She had a point, an infection wouldn't help anything.
>”Where did you learn to do that?” Twilight quickly questions as she watches Rarity prepare a small bandage.
“Do what? Climb trees?”
>”Yeah.”
“Running the shop when the parents are gone, thieves were able to just take stuff and take off into the air, some would taunt me by staying out of my reach. Eventually had enough and with some practice I was able to quickly scale things to catch most thieves, when I first started doing it I caught a lot of griffons off guard. Its another reason why I have that claw, it helps with climbing.”
>Twilight nods as you begin to wince from what ever is being poured on your hand, it burns worse then the cut, strangely it has no scent.
>As much as you want to ask about what she poured on it, you let her finish quickly as she wraps the bandage around your hand.
>”Annnnd done~” Rarity says as she marvels at her work.
>”I'm no doctor but you should be fine...” She pauses for a bit.

>Looking at her you find shes staring at where you wrapped your hand up briefly in your shirt.
>”We should do something about your clothes, I may have something that can get that... stain out.”
“You have something that can get blood out of clothes? Please take it, work what ever magic you have.” wasting no time you remove your shirt.
>She takes it in her magical grasp and brings it to sink.
>Twilight shakes her head before releasing a small sigh.
>Bringing her attention you she begins to talk.
>”So thieves are a big problem at home?”
“Ehhh... I don't exactly live in a rich town. Sometimes you get some rude... mother fu....” pausing yourself you take a glance at the three fillies sitting around in the table listening to your story.
“Uhhh bad griffons who just want more then they can afford, depends, times have been pretty good though.”
>”Uh Mr, where are you from?”
>One of the small fillies with bright red mane with a bow says raising her hoof.
“I guess should introduce myself, I'm Anonymous. As for your question to keep it short lets just say not Equestria.”
>”Not from Equestria? Soooo minotaur?”
>Small chuckle you shake your head.
“No no, I'm a human. I live in the griffon kingdom.”
>”What are you doing here in Equestria?” A white filly with pink and purple mane.
“Magic school, Canterlot is the only place with a magic school.”

>The three fillies give an echoed “Ohhh,” Till the orange one with purple mane speaks up.
>”Hey wait. You're not a unicorn.”
“No, No I'm not. That makes magic that much harder to learn.”
>They all tilt their head in confusion.
>The white mare who took your shirt comes into view.
>”Here you go Darling, thank you for rescuing my little opal.”
>Taking the shirt the blood stain is gone, the shirt is like it was just washed and some how dried
>Sliding it on you begin to say your thanks.
>”So your the Anonymous Pinkie has been setting up this party for.”
>Both Twilight and you nod your head.
“Is it normal for her to just throw parties for people she just met?”
>”Well, yes. She's been looking for an excuse to throw one, I'm sure she saw a chance to have a party and went with it.”
“So she throws a lot of parties then?”
>The entire room nods.
>Alright, well you guess you understand.
>Rarity does a short little gasp.
>”Oh my I'm terribly sorry but I don't believe I introduced mysel-”
“Rarity, I picked it up when Twilight said it.”
>You can tell she doesn't like you interrupting her but she puts on a smile anyway.
>”So tell me Anonymous, why are you in Equestria?”
>Taking a deep breath you guess your not going to escape it.

>A few hours go by with you talking to the three fillies Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie belle, and two mares Rarity and Twilight.
>Eventually you ended up talking about coming from a different world entirely.
>You got used to being asked questions but after a few years of not having to answer so many you grew to enjoy the quiet, guess you have to get used to it.
>A short talk with Rarity told you she was as she called it a Fashion designer, and not just some simple “clothes maker”
>Even though the air around her smells of rich snobby cunt, she manages to show that’s not at all true.
>”Oh good heavens look at the time!” Rarity points out.
>Glancing in the direction she was looking you find a clock.
>”The party is going to be starting soon, would be a shame if you were late to your own party!” Rarity adds as she quickly magics several dishes into the sink.
>The three Fillies jump around excited.
>Even Twilight looks pretty excited.
>But is a party really a good thing for fillies?
>Parties are really not your thing, maybe your thinking about this all wrong.
>Guessing the highschool mindset of parties hasn't really left you.
>Ponies don't drink with fillies around do they?
>Guess you will find out as the small group of ponies begins to hurry you out the door.

>The sun is still setting as you walk with the small group of ponies surrounding you.
>As you grow closer you begin to hear some kinda music, not really party music... more of a relax and have fun type of music.
>Next you see several groups of ponies all in small groups walking in the same direction.
>Some wave to Twilight or Rarity, one even introduced himself to you apologizing he wouldn't be able to make it.
>Little odd but you kept walking forward till you reached sugercube corner.
>You could hear the music clearly mixed in with laughing and chatter inside the building.
“Are parties always like this?” you ask.
>”Sometimes.” Twilight answers back.
>The three cutie mark crusaders take off into the building.
>Wanting to protest you leave it till you find out, your not sure if ponies even let fillies drink.
>Not even entirely sure if your going to drink.
>Stepping through the door you find sugercube corner has undergone some sort of change, with multiple chairs and tables pulled out and moved around to seat more ponies.
>A lengthy table along the back wall with several food dishes.
>Rarity waves to a corner of the room where three ponies wave back, you also see the three fillies taking seats at the same table.
>Following Twilight and Rarity over there you can tell your presence is noticed.
>The butter colored pony seems interested in you yet is trying to make it unknown by hiding behind her pink mane.
>A blue pony with rainbow mane raises an eyebrow at you.
>And the orange pony with a cowboy hat is the only one to not react.
>”This that Anun uh human you were telling us about Twi?” the orange one says with a southern accent
>”Anonymous yes, Anon meet some of my friends, Fluttershy.” She gestures to the butter colored Pegasus
>”H-hello” she says
>You give her a friendly wave.
>”Applejack” Twilight gesturing towards the southern accented pony
>”Howdy!”
>You give her a smile as Twilight moves to a blue Pegasus with rainbow colored mane and tail.
>”And this is Rainbow dash.”
>Before anyone else could respond Pinkie leaps into view
>”And I'm Pinkie Pie!” Pinkie reintroducing her self for some reason.
>She grabs your hand and begins to drag you off.

>”Over here is the punch and tasty treats!”
>Pinkie proceeds to cram a cupcake into your mouth and a cup of punch in your hand.
>Thankfully the cupcake is small but you still struggle with trying not to choke.
>Pinkie drags you off to some where else.
>”And this is where most of the games are! Right now we have pin the tail on the pony!”
>She spins you around in some form of dance move pointing you towards an empty floor space.
>”Here is our designated dancing floor!”
>Managing to force down the cupcake you take a breath.
“Wonderful.... Thank you Pinkie but I think I need to sit down after that.”
>”Alright! Bye Anon!” She wastes no time in zooming off to where ever she just disappeared to.
>With the party tour over you head back over to the table Twilight is sitting at.
>Taking a seat you release a tired sigh.
“I think I can live my entire life without having another cupcake shoved down my throat.
>The table giggles or releases a comment about it just Pinkie being Pinkie.
>Leaning back a bit you begin to fully take in the party environment.
>Its something you haven't felt for sometime.
>Everyone is talking,
>Light music in the background
>General fun attitude in the air.
>For a brief moment you kinda felt at home.
>Home as in your world

>Then you heard your name being called.
>”Anonymous” Rarity calls your name again.
“Hmm?”
>”Twilight was just telling me how much you have learned from magic school in such a short time, does magic come easy to you?”
>chuckling a bit you shake your head
“No, I have no idea what I'm doing. Twilight is the only reason I've made it this far I think, her showing me what to do and helping me after school is a huge help. When I first learned I could even do magic I wanted to learn everything I could about magic and I still do, but after everything I've learned so far it seems like an extremely daunting task. I can barely understand half the things Twilight tells me, I end up winging it most of the time.”
>”Oh my, well if you've gotten this far it can't be that hard for you.”
>Exhaling you sit forward and prop yourself up on your elbow
>Accepting what Rarity said as a makeshift compliment you reply with “I guess.”
>She flashes you a quick smile before joining Applejack and Fluttershy in catching up with Twilight.
>Not paying attention what's being said you take a look around the party.
>Seeing Spike haul ass catches your attention as the three fillies from earlier chase him.
>As he attempts to lose them he rushes past you
>Quickly grabbing him with magic you lift him off the ground.
>His freak out at first is amusing but he quickly puts it together its you.
>The fillies run right under him not even looking up to see where he went
>He breaths a sigh of relief

>”Thanks.”
“Why are they chasing you?”
>he holds up a Cookie
>”Last one.”
>Small nod, it makes sense.
>Looking back at the table you see a few small plates.
>Moving a three cookies from one of the plates you get it.
>Handing it to spike he takes it in his claws.
“Give them one, they should leave you alone.”
>Putting him down he says thanks one last time before taking off hopefully to find the fillies.
>Applejack catches your attention as she holds a bottle.
>”You want to try some Anon”
“What is it?”
>”First batch of something I've been workin on.”
“Sure.”
>Applejack pours a bit in your cup, then Rarity's and Fluttershy's
>Taking a quick whiff you instantly know its some form of alcohol, its not a very strong smell but its the one you pick up on.
>Looking around the table you see Rarity take a sip and begins to rock her head steadily side to side as if juggling thoughts.
>Fluttershy and Twilight seem to be examining it.
>Rainbow dash just put her cup down as Applejack begins to pour her own.



>”Its pretty good AJ.” Rainbow dash says
>Taking yours you down it.
>It has almost no kick.
>Its pretty good though, tastes of apples.
“Tastes kinda like spiked apple juice, could maybe be a bit stronger but I could also be used to the gryphon stuff which makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it.”
>”Well I don't wanna compete with that gryphon stuff, I wanted to see if we could maybe use some of our extra apples to make something new.”
>Fluttershy takes a few sips to try it out then puts it down.
>Twilight does the same but finishes it.
>The rest of the table gives their opinions on the beverage
>”Thank you everyone for trying it out, it looks to be getting pretty late, think its about time me an Applebloom head home. I have a few extra bottles if y’all want one.”
>Applejack slides one to Rarity first.
>”No thank you.” she declines passing it to Pinkie pie who seems to have appeared next to you.
>Jumping a bit
“Bah! Where did you come from?”
>”Well when two ponies love each other very much-”
“Whoa, okay never mind Pinkie.”
>She gives you a smile that causes a squeaking noise.
>”Anon,” Applejack puts one of the bottles in front of you.
“Thanks.”
>Fluttershy declines hers, but Rainbow dash takes it.
>Twilight seems a bit torn till she looks at you.
“I'll take it” you mouth to her.
>Nodding to your answer she accepts the bottles.

>You didn't even notice the time when ponies began to leave, its extremely late.
>With goodbyes being said Applejack and Rarity are the first to leave with sleepy fillies walking beside them.
>Spike joins back up with Twilight, he seems to be holding up okay but you can tell hes tired.
>You say goodbye to Pinkie one last time and thank her for inviting you to the party before Twilight and you leave.
>”That was a lot of fun and really nice to see the girls again.” Twilight says with a smile.
“Yeah it was, I'm surprised of the makeover Pinkie did to the place, I wouldn't have even guessed it was a bakery if I hadn't been there before.”
>The rest of the walk back to the library was silent with Spike hitching a ride on Twilight's back.
>Reaching the tree house Twilight carries Spike up the stairs to bed while you take a seat at the table.
>As Twilight begins to descend the stairs you take a quick swig of the … Applejack never named it.
>Whatever, you don't think about it to much before putting the cork back in.
>”You like that stuff?” Twilight asks.
“Yeah why not, its almost nothing compared to the griffon stuff.”
>Twilight gives you a questioning look before picking it up with magic and popping the cork off.
>She takes a much bigger drink then what was given to her at the party
>This seems to be way more then she can handle as she proceeds to spew the drink all over the table.
>”Blah, I can't.”
>As you chuckle you grab the bottle from Twilight and put the cork back in.
“Good job.” you say with a smile.
>Twilight groans a bit before floating over a towel to clean up the mess.
>”Ugh, I don't understand why anyone would want to drink that stuff.”
“Everyone has a different reason, some to forget, others to loosen up. Do or say things you normally couldn't bring yourself to do... we're talking about the alcohol right and not just this drink.”
>”Yeah...” Twilight says slowly
“Alright just checking, didn't know if maybe you hated apples or something silly.”
>Small sigh and glare is all you get from Twilight.
>”So then why do you drink it?”
“'Cause its tasty.” Uncorking the bottle you take another swig.

>Going to put the cork back in you find the bottle is taken from your hand and Twilight is trying again.
>She manages to not spit it everywhere this time as she places the bottle on the table.
>Making a disgusted face she shakes her head.
>”I don't get it...”
“I don't either.”
>Taking a quick stretch you release a sigh.
>Twilight responds with a yawn.
>”I'm gonna go to sleep.”
“Alright, I think I might stay up a bit longer, maybe find something to read.” You begin to scan the nearby bookshelves
>”Don't stay up too long.”
>You nod your head as she disappears upstairs.
>Eventually your scan brings you back to the magic section.
>You have a lot of work ahead of you if your going to complete magic school.
>Your eyes bounce back and forth between books hoping maybe one just pops out at you.
>Honestly your a bit tired of books, you really want a more hands on approach, less reading more doing!
>Thinking on it for a bit you release another sigh, grabbing one of the beginner books you sit at the table.
>No reason to create unnecessary noise.
>Flipping the book open you begin reading.
'I wonder what Twilight would do in my position' you silently think.
>It doesn't take long before the words begin to blur together.
>Soon you're head first into the book snoring.
