Loki and I

Switched - (S1 E41)

Zoe's staying over the weekend. She said she was trying to get better at magic, and asked if she could use Loki and me as guinea pigs to test it out.
Of course, I said YES!

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

"Hey, where's that Coral kid?" Zoe asks as we walk from my room to Loki's cell.

"It's a weekday," I shrug, "She's at school."

"Really?" She looks at me, somewhat shocked, "I didn't know she was old enough."

"She's just... physically stunted," I make the excuse, "But she's got a shit ton of energy. Kid wants to be just like me."

"Must have a sad life back home," Zoe says in pity. I elbow her, pulling a scrunchy face. "What? What'd I say?"

I roll my eyes and open the doors to Loki's room.

I jump into the air, flapping my wings and flying upside down towards his cell. "Heyooooo," I cheer, showing off my new trick.

"Hello," Loki chuckles, lifting his head up from his book. He's laying down with his legs tucked under himself, so he looks like a boat, "Haven't seen you two in a while."

"It was only a couple days, Loki," I try to reason, doing a backstroke in mid air, but it only makes me look worse. I fly into an upright position, clearing my throat, "Um, Zoe wants to try some magic testing on us."

"It's just a little spell," she nods, "Intended on changing our outfits."

"Hate to break it to you, Zoe, but," I press a few buttons on the control box, opening the glass doors, "We don't normally wear clothes."

"I was wondering when someone would say that," Loki comments, eyes fixed on me. Well, not my face. I don't even know where he's looking....wait... is he staring at my chest? Why would he be looking there?

"So," Zoe says, a smirk at the corners of her mouth, "Loki, ya game?"

"Absolutely not," he shakes his head, stretching his front legs out like a cat, "You don't want to tango with magic. Only use it when necessary."

"But this is necessary!" Zoe cries.

Loki stands up and lifts a brow, not amused. "Really? Taking away the mere effort of putting on one's outfit is completely necessary?"

"Uh, yeah!" She defends.

"Oh, for heaven's sake-"

"Why are you so wary about this, anyway?" I ask, looking up at him.

"Magic should be practiced in a safe, controlled area with inanimate, or, at least, willing subjects," Loki explains to me, "It should be done safely."

"You just wanna suck the joy of of everything," Zoe mumbles through her teeth, before pulling the biggest puppy dog face ever. She puts her hooves together in a prayerful beg, "Loki, pleeeeease? Please please, pleeeeeease?"

"No," he says blankly.

She rushes to his hooves, "Pretty please?"

"The physical appearance of the please does not change anything," he mutters, pushing her away lightly.

I step in front of Loki, my pupils huge, my bottom lip doing a slight quiver. "Pwease?" I squeak.

Loki bites his lip, unable to tear his gaze away from me. Finally, he sighs in defeat.

"Fine."

"Yay!" Zoe and me cheer together as if Celestia had just turned me into an alicorn princess or something.
