Awakening from your second sleep of the night, you glanced around your room trying to recall the events of your dream. It was somehow already the middle of the day, so you had clearly been very tired.

Eventually, you slowly began to remember your dream more clearly, along with everything that Princess Luna had told you.

You had promised her that you would train your power, but the only question was how do you do that? You hadn't exactly used any magic before. Not intentionally, anyway.

As you continued to look around your room, the few boxes laying throughout reminded you of something else.

"Ugh..." you groaned as you suddenly remembered the chore that was packing your stuff. You couldn't decide which to do first, pack things away, or train magic that you didn't know how to control.

Thankfully, Twilight soon entered to make that choice for you.

"Hey! You're finally awake!" she exclaimed, entering your room. Had it really been that long?

"What time is it?" you ask, groggily climbing out of bed.

"About mid-day," she answered. You were about to ask why she didn't wake you up, but she seemed to be one step ahead of you, "I didn't wake you up because you seemed pretty... exhausted."

You were glad she didn't. It honestly felt like you weren't even asleep during that dream.

"Thanks." you replied, giving her a smile, "But now you want me to keep packing my stuff up, huh?"

Twilight nodded, "Yeah. Rainbow's getting pretty impatient."

"Rainbow was here?" you asked, seeking more help with packing and moving your things. Honestly, the packing didn't worry you all that much. It was the moving that concerned you. After all, there weren't any moving vans in Equestria.

"Yeah, but I told her you were sleeping. I said you'd move in by today though, so that's a promise you'll have to keep!" Twilight explained, attempting to make you actually want to work.

"Ugh! Fine!" you exclaimed, causing her to giggle slightly. Combined with your waking tiredness, you almost seemed like you were enduring a sudden mood swing,

You didn't want to pack everything, but you eventually figured that the quicker you did it, the less work there would be.
So far, that philosophy seemed to stand true.

There was still one whole cardboard box worth of stuff to pack, and in 10 minutes you had packed half of said box without the help of Twilight's magic. Even after using her magic yesterday, so much stuff still remained. You didn't recognise how much stuff you actually had until you had to actually move it all.

If you were being honest with yourself, half of the stuff you were packing was probably just going to end up in Rainbow's attic or something, never to be seen again.
Speaking of which, did Rainbow Dash even have an attic?

"I think you're nearly done, Storm!" Twilight informed you, giving you the last bit of encouragement you needed to not die of boredom. As you placed a random stuffed animal you had found in a drawer into the box, you realised that everything in your room had been packed.

"Finally..." you sighed, falling onto your soon-to-be ex bed in relaxation. While this was only a small victory, it was a victory nonetheless.

Quickly, however, you realised that your job was not yet done.

"Now you've gotta get all three of those boxes up to Rainbow's house!" Twilight said, as if it was no big deal. She explained it to you as if it was an easy feat that was performed daily.

"How is that physically possible?" you asked, lifting yourself up from your bed, "How can one Pegasi get three huge boxes up to a floating island?"

Whilst it sounded like you were being sarcastic, you were genuinely wondering. This required at least two Pegasi per box, especially with the height of Rainbow's house.

"You could always ask Rainbow and Fluttershy to help." Twilight suggested. That was always an option, but it also seemed a little embarrassing.

"Nah, I'll find my own way." you insisted. You weren't sure how, but you had a feeling that it could be done. Maybe you could lift each box one at a time.

As you attempted to lift one of the boxes, you quickly dropped it as it's full weight was placed onto you. That plan wasn't happening any time soon.

"Twilight, can you teleport them or something?" you asked, knowing that Twilight was able to teleport things at least somewhat effectively.

"I can, but not all the way up to Rainbow's house." she explained, much to your disappointment. You were about to lose hope, and resort to asking for Rainbow and Fluttershy's help, but then a thought crossed your mind.

Maybe your magic could teleport them. Your magic was almost unheard of, so who knew what it was capable of. If this was to work, then you could knock out two tasks in one. It was a win-win.

"I'm gonna try something, but don't laugh if it doesn't work, ok?" you asked.

"Sure!" Twilight replied, optimisticly. Although she promised to not laugh if nothing happened, you had a feeling she would anyway.
Now the question was, how were you going to use your magic?

Going off of the name, you had to be determined in order to use it. It was only that, a name, but surely it was a good enough place to start, right?

Blocking out everything in the room other than the three large boxes before you, you began to channel all of your energy and all of your will power into them. The only thought on your mind was the teleportation of each of the boxes, yet there was still the nagging thought in the back of your mind that it would never work.

Much like you suspected, nothing happened. To your surprise, Twilight actually didn't laugh.

"What are you trying to do?" she asked, curiously.

You didn't respond. Instead, you began questioning yourself, searching for something you may have done wrong. Maybe you weren't focused enough? Maybe that thought about it ever working distracted you?
Nevertheless, you began to try again.

You blocked out Twilight, who was watching with a confused expression, along with everything else in the room. You focused all of your intent into moving the three boxes into Rainbow Dash's bedroom, until it was the only thought on your mind.

To your disappointment, nothing happened once again.

"Storm, what are you doing?" Twilight asked, seeming to be getting more and more confused.

"Something." you replied, still not giving up hope. This was the only lead you had in terms of controlling your magic, and you weren't letting go that easily.

Focusing all of your energy into the boxes one more time, you wished for their teleportation. Third time's a charm, right?

Almost surprisingly, the three boxes began to glow yellow, along with the lightning bolt on your cutie mark. Something was actually happening.

"Woah..." Twilight gasped, not quite sure what she was looking at. She knew about your magic, but was quite taken aback that you had learnt to use it like this so quickly.
Of course, you hadn't fully learnt it yet. This was merely a single act, and you hadn't even completed it yet.

Still maintaining focus on the boxes, you pictured Rainbow's bedroom in your head, and pictured the boxes being teleported into it.
Just like that, it became a reality. The three boxes containing your stuff vanished from your room in a yellow flash of light, leaving nothing behind.

"That was... Amazing! I have to do more studies on this!" Twilight exclaimed, hurriedly examined the last known spots of the boxes.

All you could feel at this moment was pain and exhaustion. Using your magic had taken a lot out of you, but you figured that was how it got its name.
Sometimes the most painful choices required the strongest wills, or something like that.

"Oh, Storm! Are you ok?" she asked, suddenly realising your that you were holding yourself up against the bed.

"Y-yeah. Just a little exhausted, that's all." you lied. In reality, it felt as I felt you could sleep forever. It was a form of tiredness you had never before felt, but thankfully it didn't seem to last too long.

Within the next few seconds, it felt as if you had fully recovered. You had no idea how, or why, but you felt fine.

"Ok, I think I'm better now." you reassured her.

"If you say so." Twilight replied, still seeming a little concerned, "Now you have to go up and check if those boxes got where they needed to!"

"I promise that if they did, I'll let you study my magic sometime!" you said, not realising how cocky that seemed until after you had said it.

"And if they are up there, I guess that means you won't be living here anymore?" she asked, seeming a little upset by the news.

You gave her a sad nod in response. As excited as you were to be moving in with the most awesome Pegasus ever known, it was pretty sad to be leaving. Especially when this was the only home you had ever really known in Equestria.

"It's ok! I knew you'd have to find some place, and somepony, eventually." she replied, her usual optimism replacing the sadness.

"We'll still see each other quite a lot, too!" you added, hoping to maintain a positive atmosphere.

"Yeah, you're right!" Twilight said, giving you a smile that seemed to last for minutes, "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."

There wasn't much left to do here. Everything you needed to pack had been packed, and every preparation you needed to make had been made.
It was time to leave.

"One last thing, Twilight..." you added, "Thanks for taking care of me."

Twilight paused at the door, before turning around to give you a smile.

"It's ok! It's always great to meet new ponies! Especially when they're from another world!" she joked, but it also seemed sincere.

"I'll see you tomorrow." you said, trying to hide your own sadness. Although it wasn't a permanent goodbye, it still felt like it was for a much longer time.

Now that you had said goodbye to Twilight, you now only had to say goodbye to Spike.

On second thought, maybe that wasn't such a good idea. He seemed more bothered by your moving when he found out about it than Twilight did, so maybe it was best to keep him in the dark for now, whatever the consequences were.
Sometimes it is best to be blissfully ignorant, after all.

Exiting through the front door, you took one final look at the Golden Oak Library. Your home. It wasn't the last time you would see it, or even enter it for that matter.
But this was the last time you would ever see it as your home.

This tree had been your home, and it was beautiful, but now it was time to move on. Your new home awaited, and you were desperate to see it.

After taking one final glance at the Golden Oak Library, you shot off into the air towards what was to be your new life.

While Rainbow's Cloudomonium was pretty far away, the distance didn't seem to be too far considering the speed of your flight. Within a few minutes, you were already there.

Landing on the soft cloudy surface of Rainbow's front door, you knocked on the door to get her attention. Did you even need to knock anymore? After all, it was partly your house too.

Quickly, Rainbow Dash answered the door, but her reaction wasn't what you expected.

"Storm!" she exclaimed, in a more annoyed tone than you were expecting to hear, "Some stupid unicorn teleported boxes of their stuff into my room!"

Oh, this was gonna be fun.

"Really?" you asked, trying to keep a smirk from forming on your face.

"Yeah! Come look! I didn't even know they could teleport stuff that far!" she said, encouraging you to follow. Obiding by her request, you entered the house and followed her into her bedroom.

Just as you had hoped, the three boxes you had previously attempted to teleport now resided in her room, somehow not falling through the clouds.
Maybe your magic had naturally adapted them to the cloudy surface?

"Maybe they didn't know what they were doing?" you asked, still pretending like you didn't know who teleported the boxes.

"Well, any unicorn who messes up a spell that badly must be pretty new to magic!" Rainbow mocked, attempting to get a look into one of the boxes.

You couldn't resist anymore.

"Rainbow..." you said, still trying to hold back the smirk that was growing on your face, "I teleported them up here."

Instantly, Rainbow Dash's face transformed into one of disbelief, then into one that looked like she had just heard a funny joke.

"Ha! As awesome as you are, Storm, I don't think a Pegasus can use magic like that!" she explained. You were beginning to realise that it may be better to not tell her about your magic. At least for now.

"Yeah, ok. It was Twilight moving my things up here." you lied, seeking to keep your magic hidden from her for the time being.

If you were to attempt to persuade her, she most likely would deny it until you showed her. While that seemed simple enough, you really didn't think you had the energy to use your magic again.

"So... We have to unpack all of this?" Rainbow asked, pointing towards the several boxes. Now that you looked at them, it seemed like there was even more stuff than you had originally packed.

"Yep." you said, suddenly dreading what was to come.

"That sounds so boring." she replied, looking towards the boxes with a deadpan expression.

If you thought that packing away your things was tedious, then the unpacking was a different story. Not only did you have to take everything out of the boxes, but you also had to find a place to keep all of your stuff.

"I know, but we have to do it I guess." you sighed. Normally, you would have procrastinated until you absolutely had to unpack, but in the presence of Rainbow, you felt the need to show maturity.
Funny, as maturity was something Rainbow Dash often lacked.

"Ugh!" Rainbow groaned, flying over to one of the boxes.

"The quicker we get started, the faster it'll be done." you said, in an attempt to persuade her. As much as you really didn't want to unpack just yet, it would've made you feel better if Rainbow did it with you.

"But-" she said, but was instantly cut of by you.

"Less complaining, more unpacking." you said, reaching into one of the many boxes and pulling out a large pillow. You weren't sure what you were to do with it, so you simply through it onto Rainbow's bed.

"Fine..." Rainbow groaned, before also reaching into a box.

This was almost certainly going to be boring, but it was also going to be worth it.

The next chapter of your life in Equestria had officially begun.

Author's Notes:

Storm is finally beginning to control his magic. The next chapter will focus more on that magic, as well as Rainbow Dash beginning to believe that he can use magic aswell. I was originally going to write about Storm saying goodbye to Spike, but I ended up not doing that partly due to length, but mostly because I don't really enjoy writing Spike's character. Just like Luna, I have a hard time keeping him in character and I really don't understand why. Maybe it's because I haven't watched an episode in a while?
Thankfully, there won't be a chapter about Storm and Rainbow unpacking. That would probably be really boring to read and write, so I'm gonna spare us both from that.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading
