Be quiet, Anon. Sweetie is trying to levitate her first rock". >You all stand there, staring at the tiny pebble. >Then, a faint glow surrounds the rock. It wobbles for a moment before >becoming still again. "I just about got it". >The glow returns. This time, the rock rises an inch from the floor >before falling back with a release of breath. >Sweetie's smile was blinding. "I did it. Wait until my friends see this. Can I go show them"? >Twilight agrees and Sweetie runs out the door. "I didn't think to ask Anon. Can you do magic"? "Magic doesn't exist where I come from". "It exists here. What's the harm in giving it a shot"? >She does have a point. You never actually tried to cast magic. >You spent so much time reading about it. Actually being able to >do it would be a dream come true. Coming to this new world was >already so strange. Nothing would really surprize you at this point. "Ok, I'll give it a shot". >You stare at the pebble, your entire will focused on making it move. >Come on, move! Even just a tad would make this whole trip worth it. >You start to feel really dumb talking to a rock. "I can't do it". "Don't give up yet, Anon. It takes most unicorns years before they can do anything at all". >She picks up the rock and drops it in your hands. "It's something I'd like you to practice. I don't expect anything will ever come of it, but even I don't know the limits of magic".   >Sweetie returns with her friends. They spend the next hour watching >in awe as Sweetie picks up different odds and ends around the library. >You go back to practicing the letters. >When the three ponies got tired of Sweetie's new talent, they migrated >to your side of the library. You hear whispering. >Applebloom approaches you. "That sure looks boring, Anon". "It may be boring, but I have to if I want to read anything that I didn't bring with me". "Reading is nice, but I bet you would have a lot more fun with us. I'll bet you've never seen anything as cool as our treehouse. What do you say"? >They seem like pretty cool kids, and you haven't really had the chance to >play with anyone your own age in quite a while. It's not a hard choice to make.
