Chapter 37
Back here again

Albert and Twilight were walking behind Spike and Anna who were cheerfully chatting with each other, just looking at young pair made their hearts warmer, Albert smiled and asked Twilight what does she want to do.

“I don’t know perhaps we could go to that library again, there are many books to read that I never saw before.” They both smiled at each other and nodded, but then they noticed annoyed stares of small dragon and Anna in front of them.

“W-What’s wrong?” Twilight asked.

“We don’t want to go to library.” Anna said while crossing her arms on her chest in annoyed manner, Spike followed that gesture and nodded.

“*Sigh* fine, what you want to do then?” Albert asked slightly afraid of their answer.

Spike and Anna turned around and started to whisper with each other for few moments, then they turned back with huge grins and said simultaneously.

“We want to go to Aqua Park.”

Both Twilight and Albert flinched, they both found that place not too amusing, especially now that Albert couldn’t swim with broken ribs, however it was also quite a memorial place, they met there after all.

They both sighed.

“Sure let’s go, but first we need to get our swimsuits from home Anna.” Albert said, Twilight and Spike luckily didn’t need those as she was able to simply alter her illusion a bit.

Spike and Anna jumped in excitement.

Albert smiled and motioned everyone to follow him Twilight trotting by his side.

It took them around 10 minutes to get to his house, although it felt like hours for excited dragon and even more excited girl, they waited outside with Twilight when Albert went to take their swimsuits, it took him a little longer then he assumed, he was stopped by his parents who saw Twilight outside, they knew her already from hospital, and they both took a liking towards her much to Albert’s relief.

“Son, a girl as faithful, beautiful and most importantly, smart like this is a one in a million, take good care of her.”

“I will dad, thanks.” He smiled and his dad embraced him in a manly dad to son hug tapping him slightly on the back, then it was his mother turn.

“And remember son, whatever happens we will always support both of you.” Her statement calmed him a bit, after all today they were supposed to tell them the truth of her identity, and he was hoping for the best.

He went outside and he was immediately greeted by his annoyed sister yelling at him about what took him so long, he apologized and took out his phone to call taxi, it arrived after around 10 minutes of waiting and having to listen to the whining of Anna.

It was big car with three sets of seats, two in front one of those was driver, two in the middle and three places in back, placing Spike and Anna in the middle they sat at the end of the car.

During their way Albert asked Twilight about magic.

“Well what do you want to know?”

“To be honest, everything, let’s say I’m a small foal in the magic school, if something like that exists, and you are supposed to explain me the basics.”

She chuckled a bit and nodded.

“Basically magic is an invisible force, we can divide it into 3 types, the most common one we call by a simple “Magic” is the power that resides in everypony since they were born, and I mean everypony, Earth Ponies and Pegasi are using their magic in a different way than we do though.”

Albert nodded waiting for her to continue.

“So, Earth Ponies magic strengthens their muscles, it makes their already big raw power even stronger, also it allows them to connect with earth on subconscious level, it allows them to understand its needs which makes them great workers, especially farmers and miners.”

“On the other hoof, Pegasi magic is used in their wings, it allows them to break limits of their body and fly with huge speed, best Pegasi are leaving behind them a trail like Dash’s rainbow trail.”

“And we Unicorns are able to use the magic in most modeling way, being able to shape it in almost any way we desire.”

“I have to say that’s actually quite interesting, so what are the 2 other types of magic?” Albert said.

“The second one is called “Everything” it’s the magic that Equestria is filled with, it’s invisible and surrounds everything, it’s like air, but only some of the greatest unicorns were ever able to use it.”

“What happens when you use it?”

“Well to put it simply you can use much more powerful spells without getting tired at all, it’s like you are suddenly given an access to infinite source of energy, I experienced it once when I was just a filly, but I couldn’t control it at all, thanks to Princess Celestia intervention I was stopped before I hurt anypony, or even myself.”

“Ohh sorry.”

“Don’t be, it was still amazing experience even though I couldn’t control it.” She chuckled a little to which in response Albert chuckled as well.

“Is there any way for Earth Ponies or Pegasi to use them?”

Twilight thought for few seconds and then said.

“I never heard anything about Earth ponies but there is a legend about Pegasi called Sky Crusher, to put it simply he tried to create the sonic rainboom, but as he was flying down and sound cone engulfed him, he sped up even more and soon second cone appeared over the first one, it was border between him and invisible “Everything”. He managed to broke it releasing unspeakable power in form of a shockwave and after that he flew with even more incredible speed.”

“You think it’s true?”

“I don’t know there isn’t any proof of that, I told about it Rainbow Dash and she tried doing it many many times, but failed every time, I personally doubt it, something like that shouldn’t be physically possible.”

Their conversation was stopped for a second by shouting Spike.

“How come you always win that?!”

“Heh you are just predictable.” Anna said with a mischievous smirk on her face, they were playing Rock, Paper, Scissors and she won every time.

Albert and Twilight laughed when Spike lost again and turned his head away.

“So Twilight, if you don’t mind me asking, what about that third kind of magic?”

Twilight frowned a little.

“It’s called “Omega” it’s existence was noted only once by Starswirl the Bearded himself.”

“What is it like?”

Twilight gulped.

“Starswirl wrote about it as ultimate power able to destroy everything, he never told anypony where is it, what does it look like, nothing, just one thing, how dangerous it is.”

Albert frowned a little and Twilight continued.

“Actually it’s a taboo in Unicorn society.”

“Oh I didn’t know sorry.”

“And once again, don’t be, you..” She was once again stopped by yelling, however this time this was a happy yell.

“We’re here!” Both kids shouted simultaneously, and they were right, taxi stopped in front of huge Mercury’s City Aqua Park, place that they first met.

After buying tickets girls went to their locker-room and boys to their Twilight assuring them that she can change Spike’s illusion even from that distance.

After they were all ready, they met inside the Aqua Park.

“Ok so where do you two want to go first?” Albert asked Spike and Anna, they walked up to the sign with enlisted attractions and started their discussion, after 10 minutes they made full list of which attractions they want to attend and in which order, starting with those rather boring attractions for kids ending with amazing waterslides for older.

And though Twilight wasn’t too happy about them using those adult attractions but Albert assured her it’s completely safe, so they went to the pool with rather small waterslide, Albert and Twilight sat peacefully on the bench watching those two having fun splashing each other with water and racing to the top of the waterslide.

Albert smiled and felt his eyes watering a bit, Twilight noticed that.

“Something’s wrong?” She asked with a curiosity and care in her voice

“No, definitely not, it’s just that Anna was always rather lonely, and seeing her having fun with Spike like that it just, makes my heart melt a little.”

Twilight smiled and leaned closer to him resting her head on his shoulder, after few moments he followed her and rested his head on top of hers, they sat there in silence simply enjoying each other presence.

After some time Spike and Anna stopped for few seconds and waved happily towards the couple on the bench they waved back.

“What adorable kids.” Commented a sympathetically looking old woman who was now standing near the bench they were on.

“Yeah I have to agree.” Albert said chuckling a little.

“Are they yours?”

It took them few moments to process what she asked and they both blushed hard looking at each other.

“N-NO, no no this is my sister and that’s her umm little brother.” Albert said shaking his head and Twilight nodded in agreement her muzzle turning red.

“Ohh sorry, you just look so good together I thought..”

“N-No problem miss.” Albert added

“Well have a good day and sorry again.” Old lady said and left them alone again.

Awkward silence engulfed them for good ten minutes neither of them dared to look at the other one, Twilight was rubbing her left arm with red hoof nervously and Albert was rubbing back of his head.

Luckily for them Spike and Anna announced that they are going to another attraction and they followed them.

Old lady’s question made Albert think about actually becoming a father, with Twilight as a mother of his kids, it was of course impossible considering that they were different species and she was going to leave in less than three days, even so those thoughts appeared and they made him nervous just being around her.

After some time Twilight finally broke annoying silence.

“Soo, perhaps you want me to tell you something more about magic?”

Albert nodded, anything, everything that would kill this agonizing silence was fine with him.

And so they spend their whole day on the Aqua Park, accompanying Spike and Anna in their water journey, Twilight would sometimes go with them on waterslides or swim in pool, Albert tried the latter one few times, he couldn’t swim cause of the pain but he had some fun splashing water with Twilight and kids. They were also relieved that this weird tension created by old lady was gone, they were again talking happily with each other, they mostly talk about Equestria, its geographic and concept of magic, sometimes it was Albert turn to explain Twilight some of Earth technologies.

It was already getting dark, even though they weren’t as active as kids they still had a lot of fun, talking with each other and simply watching those two playing together, although Twilight was always worried to the core when they attended some more risky waterslide and Albert had to calm her down each time.

But it was late and they had to be coming back, Spike and Anna were very tired but still they wanted to stay, Albert almost got broken by their combined pleading expression but Twilight stood strong and soon they were in the locker-rooms changing their clothes or in mare and dragon case, illusion.

They went outside and once again waited for taxi to arrive, after it came they went inside and rode back home.

After the journey which was filled with Spike and Anna talking about how much fun they had today they stood before Albert’s house, it was the time for them to tell the truth.

Albert swallowed hard taking the door’s handle.

Now or never

He opened it and went inside trio following him, they were greeted by his parents.

“Hey Albert how was your day?”

His dad said and waited for Albert to say "Good thanks" or that sort of thing, however his son said something he didn't expect

“Dad, mom, I have something important to tell you, can we all go to the living room for a while?”

His parents put on surprised expressions and nodded, they sat down on the couch in the living room and watched as Anna, Albert, Spike and Twilight which both still were under the effects of illusion went inside.

“Ok so first things first, have you ever heard about a multiverse theory?”
