The Science Of Sunlight (A Sciset Fanfic)

Chapter 8- Twilight

Okay, here we go. This chapter is from Twi's POV, so things are gonna be a bit different. It's not gonna be a regular thing (there will be at least one more though), but it very vaguely sets up future events (by vague I mean it didn't turn out quite as planned, but whatever)

Anyways, enjoy!

Twilight stood in front of the mirror, second-guessing herself. Am I dressed too fancy? Not fancy enough? Should I wear pants instead?

"Relax Twilight," Spike told her. "You know that Timber's gonna like your outfit."

"I know, but-"

"Twilight, is he the type of person who gets mad at you for something this trivial?"

"No, but-"

"It'll be fine then!"

She took a deep breath, then looked back into the mirror. The clothes were pretty, and comfortable too. She just needed to get used to dressing up. Slowly, she made her way downstairs. Just as she did so, her phone buzzed.

I'm outside! The text was from Timber.

When she went outside, Timber was waiting by the door, and he smiled.

"Hey Twilight! How're you feeling?"

"My arm's good, because I'm pretty sure you're referring to that."

"Okay, you're not wrong. But I still would like to know how you're feeling in general."

"Well overall, I've been feeling pretty good. Sunset and the others have been taking very big efforts to help take care of me!"

When he didn't respond, she looked up at him, the expression on his face indescribable.

"Timber?" She asked. "Are you okay?"

He blinked rapidly. "Y-yeah, I'm fine! Sorry, I just zoned out."

"That's fine. So where are we going today?"

He smiled again. "Nothing too fancy, but I was thinking that we can go watch a movie."

"That sounds good!"

It wasn't too often that Twilight watched movies. Not because she didn't like them, but she never used to have much time for them. After transferring to Canterlot High, her friends helped her make more time for herself.

"Oh, I recognize that movie," Twilight said, pointing towards a poster.

"I was thinking that we could watch that one. Have you already watched it?"

"No, but Sunset's a fan of the lead actress, and we've watched her movies a lot. She was waiting for the movie to come out, but I'm don't think she watched it yet, otherwise she would've told me."

"Oh, that's cool. To be honest, I don't actually know who the actress is, I'm just a fan of the genre and heard that it was a good movie. Do you wanna watch it, or should we pick another one?"

"I'd like to watch it!"

Twilight reached for some popcorn with telekinesis. What she forgot to account for was that both her hand and whatever she was holding would glow purple.

It was brighter than expected, and startled, she nearly knocked over the drink. Thankfully, Timber held it before it could fall over.

She could see some of the other people in the theater turn towards her, irritated by the disruption.
