Twilight is taking tea, just like she used to with the princess. She's the princess' faithful student actually. Did you know that?

Winner of the 4^th Panic Fiction contest for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Group. Originally conceived and written in half an hour. This version here has undergone some very slight refinement.
The prompt was 'What's That Smell?'.

Princess Celestia has seen occasional visions of the future in her sleep, but none so vivid as the ones regarding purple spotted dragon egg. She saw the egg hatch, and the dragon within live and grow among ponies. What's more, Celestia saw key events of the future play out in the most favorable ways possible, all because of that one dragon: the discovery of the Bearer of the Element of Magic, the second defeat of Discord, the second and third defeats of Sombra, and the rise of two rulers who would become invaluable allies of Equestria.

Celestia's visions also showed her where to find the egg. . .

Spike is tired. He's been awake for over a thousand years and now it is finally his turn to sleep, once he is tucked in by Twilight, one last time that is.

A tie-in to the episode Dragon Dropped.

Spike is writing letters back and forth to his new pen pal, who seems to have a lot in common with him. Together, words are said and a strong bond was formed between the two distant friends.

Spike finally lays down for a well-earned nap. His friends say 'good night'.

Spike has often felt hindered throughout his life, especially after moving to Ponyville. He took pride in being Twilight's number one assistant, but there were plenty of times where he felt like an errand boy. One who got into situations that required him being saved. A recent development has changed things however. Not to a grand scale, but it was still significant. And he loved it. So much that he needed to enjoy it. And the night was a perfect time for it.

Fluttershy had read every book there was on motherhood. She read every pamphlet and brochure she could get her hooves on. She was ready... or so she thought.

Neither she nor Spike could have ever prepared for the curveball life decided to throw them and they looked everywhere for help in figuring out what to do.

But maybe they already had everything they needed all along?
