"Okay, lets see...Where to start with?", the mulberry unicorn asked herself, as if pondering over the strange set of events that happened.
"First, when I got up this morning, and tried to use the wash basin, I heard this...Constant dripping noise. As if there was a source of water in the room I couldn't determine the location of."
"Second, Moondancer was acting...oddly distant to me, when I contacted her via spellbottle. Moondancer's usually more vibrant, but, today? She was acting like...well, old me."
"Thirdly, Princess Celestia completely wrote me off about the mare in the moon, suggesting I make new friends...I don't know a teacher who pushes their student to give up their old friends, just to make new ones."
"Spike? Things are getting...Bizarre," the unicorn murmured, as they rode in the chariot being pulled by the two pegasi guards.
"Tell me about it, Aye-Aye...", Spike murmured.
"..." The mulberry unicorn looked at the baby dragon, as if he had grown an extra head. "'Aye-Aye?' Spike, that's a weird name-"
"Its what your mom told me to call you, if things ever came...To this."
She only stared at him with confusion. "'Aye-Aye'?" She repeated.
"Its grammar...Its phonetics...the language it is cannot be deciphered, unless spoken by those who speak it, it is-"
"Neighlish," she answered, murmuring. "Aye-Aye...OH! Is this about the Book Club my mom told me she had?"
"...Yes. But, also, no. You see, Twili-"
"Its the Illuminati."
"...Seriously? You think its the- HA! Twilight Sparkle. You know just as well as I do, your mom's book club is more than-"
"No.", she simply replied to him.
"...But, I wasn't done expositing in an unnat-"
"Spike, you're acting like we're in a manga, or some dumb shit like that. Stop it."
"..." He simply stared at her.
"...Of course, I was the one expositing about how peculiar things were," she admitted with some degree of reluctance. "And, I suppose I might be the main character of this- ...Whatever it is," she admitted, also with reluctance. "Still...Aye-Aye? Really?"
"It makes sense with context."
"...It doe-?"
"You're an innately social disoriented person, Twilight..."
"...And, that has to do with the fact I have two 'i's in my-? Okay, no, yeah, I see your point..."
"Glad someone finally does..."
"What?"
"Nothing...Its almost as if other ponies have been altered...By an enemy stand," he finished dramatically.
"...An enemy what now?"
"...You know how your mom used to read tea leaves?"
"I- ...Yeah, with strange accuracy, but, I don't see how-"
"It wasn't accuracy, Twilight...It was her stand. Her innate, Aye-Aye lineage given power, that allowed her to activate it...Of course, its not unique to the Aye-Aye line," he admitted.
"...Wha-"
"There are people who are not 'Aye-Ayes' who have the power, Twilight."
"...To read Tea Lea-"
"No," he insisted. "The- The Power of Stands! Seriously, I don't wanna explain your mom's stand, but-"
"Then don't. Seriously, Spike, I'm fine without whatever-"
"Shhhhhhhh. Their spell is breaking, Twilight."
"Wha-?" It was then she noticed the two pegasi upfront eyeing her...Without hitting anything.
"Something wrong, Miss Sparkle?" one of them asked, sounding oddly suspicious.
"N-no, of course not! Spike was just telling me about how his comic books~" She assured them.
"I see...Well, you should probably head straight to the library when you get there, Miss Spa-"
The other suddenly roughy slammed into him.
"Ow! What was that fo-?!"
"She's Celestia's Student...You can't just order her to go straight to the library."
"I-I mean, you're right, but-"
"She has to make friends, doesn't she...~?"
"...What? What are you-?"
"Nothing. Miss Sparkle, we'll be arriving in Ponyville in less than an hour."
"..." The mulberry unicorn nodded with some hesitance. "Understood."
"See, Twilight?", Spike murmurs. "It begins..."
