Simple Life at First (For Pinkly Smooth)

"It's okay...I didn't tell you." Bolt reasoned sadly. "We need to work on our attack spells. You have a strong lightning energy...I'm strong with fire. Can you show me...what you can do to attack?" Bolt asked Lace, face going back to a stone cold glare into the woods behind her.

 

"I can only teleport and shrink things." she looked up nervously. "I can maybe control elements if I had enough practice like my grandfather."

 

"My elemental emotion is anger. Fire is rage. Projection!" Bolt yelled, shooting a wall of fire from his horn. "Lightning is the magic of purpouse. You need to group your goals. You need to be determined. You will literally use energy itself to clear the way." Bolt instructed. "Focus your willpower to your horn."

 

"Um ok." Lace closed her eyes, focusing all to her horn. She managed to make air swirl around her, whipping her mane around. She lost focused and the air around her died.

 

Bolt kissed her. He touched his horn to hers. He cast a weak fire spell, and sparked the top of her horn. "Did you...did you wax your horn for the auction?" He asked, grinning a bit.

 

Lace blushed but nodded, "y-ya"

 

He carefully funneled the now heated wax off of her horn. "Try again." He said, still smiling.

 

She nodded and tried again, this time the air her grew more wild till it ripped off bark from a near by tree. Lace opened her eyes again and lost focused, "I can't do anything." She said sadly.

 

Bolt focused, and screamed in rage as a beam shot from his horn, causing the tree to combust. "You can. If you think healing magic is more you, we'll go to Zecora. Celestia won't teach us. She's angry. What do you want to do?" Bolt asked, lifting Lace's face up with his hoof.

 

"I.. umm.. I wanna learn defense, like you." She said. "I can maybe try with a different element."

 

"Water is sadness. Fire is anger. Lightning is willpower. Darkness is evil. Light is justice. Earth is...creativity." Bolt said, naming all he knew.

 

"Creativity?" Lace shut her eyes quickly and focused everything again. She thought of her pictures and her artwork. The earth around began to move causing boulders to form around her in mid air.

 

Bolt focused, and lava began to pour from cracks in the earth. "Oh yeah! This works!" He yelled, pulling the lava away.

 

Lace snapped her eyes open and the boulder fell back to the ground. "Did I do it?" She asked wide eyed to Bolt.

 

"Yes." He replied

 

"Really? That's so amazing I thought I couldn't do anything beside levitate and make things small." She jumped around Bolt excited for her new power. "This is awesome!"

 

Bolt caught her in his hooves. "You learn faster than Twilight Sparkle." He said, holding her again.

 

Lace chuckled, "your kidding right?"

 

"No. I'm not." He said, nuzzling her.

 

"Wow." She nuzzled him back happily. "So whats next?"
