Today, you were hanging out with Twilight and Spike at the Golden Oak Library as the brainy Unicorn was just about to perform a new spell on Spike as he was eagerly pumped for it to happen.

Spike: Come on, Twilight. You can do it!

(P/N): Show this spell that you mean business, Twi.

Twilight Sparkle: Okay, here goes.

She closed her eyes, aimed her horn at Spike, and made the area around Spike's mouth glow. Then, in a quick poof, Spike was now sporting a black, fancy mustache.

Spike: Ha ha! Ya did it!

(P/N): *thinking* Aaaaand it's a hair growing spell. Not gonna lie, that's... not all that impressive. *sigh* No, no. Twilight needs confidence right now, so... I'll just let this slide.

You thought as Spike runs over to a nearby board with a list of different spells with checkmarks on the sides and he marks off the last spell.

Spike: Growing magic, that's number twenty-five. Twenty-five different types of tricks and counting.

(P/N): Not bad, Twi. Being able to learn twenty-five different spells in a short period of time is no easy task, and yet, you make it look easy.

Twilight Sparkle: *chuckles* Thanks, P/N.

As she thanked you, Spike decided to check out his new mustache in a nearby stand up mirror.

Spike: That's Twilight for you! There's nothing she can't do! Personally, this is the best trick so far.

He commented, gazing at his reflection and daydreaming over meeting Rarity with his new moustache.

Spike: Hello, Rarity. What's that? Aw, it's nothin', just my awesome mustache.

(P/N): *sigh* I hate to get real with you, little bud, but I'd doubt that some simple facial hair is gonna immediately attract someone like Rarity.

Twilight Sparkle: And not to harshly dismiss your new "dashing" looks, but it's only just for practice, so it's gotta go now.

Spike: No, wait!

He tried pleading before Twilight poofed away his moustache, making the baby dragon pout.

Spike: Aw, rats!

Twilight Sparkle: Sorry Spike, but you've gotta be yourself. Oh! That reminds me. P/N, I don't suppose you'd be willing to teach me a few spells, would you?

(P/N): Spells? From me?

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. I figured that since you traveled a lot before coming to Ponyville, you must have come across some good spells, right?

You put a hoof to your chin in thought. When you had made your initial plan to retire, you didn't really have the intention of teaching in mind. So, now that Twilight's asking, you felt a little conflicted. Would teaching all that you know give too much away? Would you be able to make it look natural? Really, there was only one way to find out.

(P/N): Huh, I... suppose I do. *thinking* Maybe the fact that I traveled for a long time won't raise any suspicions?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, good!

She claps her hooves in excitement.

(P/N): *thinking* Somehow I know that I'll come to regret this.

You stood up straight and approached Twilight.

(P/N): Alright, here's one that I typically use for combat.
