Description

  1. Niko, fed up with the cheating scoundrel Larkspur, decides to play a prank of his own - much to Larkspur’s equal parts frustration and pleasant surprise. It’s kind of nice when a pony plays along - especially when you have a soft spot for that particular pony.
     
  2. Larkspur, once again bored in class, started to feel an itch in his talons. They desperately wanted to do something besides write down copious notes like the rest of the students. Sitting in the back of the classroom where no one would notice, he felt the familiar warm, tingly sensation of chaos fire manifesting in his talons. He stared at the green flame in his palm, examining it. Curious, he tried to change its shape by altering the temperature. The color did not change but the flames began to spark, and smoothly moving bolts of lightning began to dance between his claws. Larkpsur smiled somewhat at the discovery until -
     
    “OH MY GOD!!” Hooves made contact with Larkspur’s shoulder, causing his feathers to ruffle. Little Nickle Whooves had lept from his chair at the lab table adjacent to get a closer look at the magic green lightning. He could barely speak. “Y-You ah-ah..oh my god…you can’t control ELECTRICITY. THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE.” Niko cried, alerting the entire class and Professor Applebloom at this point. A broad grin crossed Niko’s face, making Larkpsur’s heart flutter. He…he made someone smile? Now that was impossible.
     
    It was true that electricity, for some unknown reason, was extremely difficult to conjure - let alone control. Unicorns could produce fireworks from their horns, or sparks, or other manifestations of light, and pegasi could generate electricity with powerful aerial displays. But lightning was simply not something that could so easily be controlled, likely due to its immensely high energy and erratic nature. Yet, here was Larkspur, manipulating it like yarn in a cat’s cradle. Niko was simply beside himself, and to Larkpsur’s enormous discomfort, so was the rest of the class. Applebloom was especially interested in using his powers for a project, exclaiming that he should have shown them sooner! Naturally, Niko offered to help him with any projects just to get a closer look at this lightning.
     
    Larkspur goes home utterly flabbergasted and terribly nervous. Over his many years of antisocial behavior, this was kind of his first taste of a positive attention in a long while and his psyche was just not prepared for it. He considered never going to school again. Shaming himself for his cowardice, he buried himself in a blanket in his darkened room until the next day. He thought of Niko’s smile all night long…maybe it wouldn’t be so bad? Maybe his classmates would lose interest. Buuut, then Headmare Twilight just had to see this lightning for herself and write notes on it and schedule a meeting with Celestia to discuss the implications of these powers. She even asked if he could do a schoolwide presentation on it.
     
    Larkpsur wished he had stayed in bed.
     

 
Sorry to submit this twice guys, but DA won’t allow me to change a PNG file into a GIF file for some archaic reason, so hopefully this isn’t too annoying haha
