Chapter 2
“Ugh.” Spike continues his annoying groans as he pats at his stomach “Do think there is ever too much of a good thing?”
Twilight answers in a huffy voice, “Yes Spike I do, eating a crystal plate is probably not the best thing to do.”
Spike gives a gentle laugh as he stares into space, “ya, but it was so good.”
You and Twilight both roll your eyes as you enter Celestia’s throne room.
“Good morning Princess.”
Celestia gives a nod to Twilight but continues to look over a few papers she floats pass her. You take your normal spot off to the side of the room with Spike as you prepare yourself for another long day of sitting in an incredibly to bright room on a hard stone bench.
Twilight respectfully waits for the Princess to finish looking over the papers. After a few moments Celestia looks to her student, “You look to be in a better mood today.”
Twilight gives a nod to her comment.
You look over Twilight as thoughts off last night turn your face to a smile. Your mind quickly stops as you catch Celestia shooting you a smile. Your fast to break eye contact with her as you stare at the ground…please don’t read mind please don’t read minds.
“I’m ready for anything today Princess.” Twilight holds her head up high as she looks to her glowing
teacher.
Celesta brings her eyes from you as she talks, “Well I do not believe there is anything that needs to be done today Twilight.”
Spike nudes you with a smile as he whispers into your ear, “Free day.”
Twilight looks at her a bit confused, “But I thought you wanted me to use more human magic?”
Celestia’s demeanor changes a little bit as she studies Twilight, “I feel as though you have done enough in the past few days, I do not want to keep dipping into an unknown magic for now until side effects can be know.”
Your mind sticks to her comment as her and Twilight continue back and forth, what does she mean side effects? You listen a bit more closely at the conversation.
“…Twilight in the past few days you have enclosed a focus of chaos and then sent it to another world, all with the help of an unknown magic. I am very proud of you.” Celestia gives a sweet smile as she continues, “But a new form of magic is not something you need to worry about right now.”
Twilight gives a reluctant nod to Celestia as she turns toward the door.
You and Spike follow behind her. As the door closes behind you Spike lets out a joyful chuckle, “Ah man a free day! Where are we going Twi? The theater? The wonderbolts track? Oh I know the gem museum.” Spike gives a slobbery lick as he pauses for Twilight.
You think on the things he just listed, theater? Do they have movies in Equestria? You think through everything you know about this place and can’t find an answer, but the thought of a pony terminator or a pony James Bond makes you laugh. You too also wait for Twilights answer with your ears perked up.
Twilight turns around and taps her hoof to her mouth as she thinks, “Hm, you're right Spike we can go anyway we want.” She continues to tap her hoof as she thinks. Your excitement builds as she starts to smile. “Lets go to the Canterlot library!” She gives a happy smile as she looks at you both.
Spike slumps back with a huff at her comment.
You stare at her happy expression as you think, come on Twilight you live in a library! But before you can interject she continues to happy squeal as she pulls you down the hall with her hoof, “OH you will love the library, it was my favorite place when I was a filly.” Twilight lets go of you as she motions with her hoof, “I can also do some research on my own for the Princess.”
You give a sigh as you talk, “But didn’t Celestia say you don’t need to be doing that?”
Twilight shrugs your comment off, “That has never stopped me before from studying anything the Princess might need me to learn.”
Spike nudges you as he comments under his breath, “Ya, that’s why she didn’t have friends until she
was in Ponyville, it was the first time she was forced to leave the library.”
You give a light laugh at his comment.
Twilight rolls her eyes with a bit annoyed at his comment, “No, I had friends.”
Spike crosses his arms as he talks, “Oh ya? Name somepony.”
Twilight breaks her confidant look as she trots down the hallway with her head up, “You wouldn’t remember them you were too young.”
Spike claws to himself as he walks next to her, “Too young? That was like two years ago.”
Your smiles fades as you drift back on an old thought…how old is Twilight.
Your day dream doesn’t get to last long as you near the room, “I thought we were going to the library.”
Twilight nods as she ducks into the room, “We are I just need to get my satchel to carry the books back.”
Spike leans against the wall next to you, “She acts like she hasn’t read anything before.”
Twilight calls out from the room a bit annoyed, “I heard that.”
After a few moments she emerges with the satchel around her and floating a red cape up to her face, “Why is this in my bag?”
You put on a straight face as you look at the cape Sweetie Belle gave you. You give a shrug as she looks at you.
Twilight giggles as she floats it around you, “Look now you’re a cutie mark crusader.”
You look down at the poorly done emblem of the pony, but you don’t care as your mind weights on your current thought, I don’t care…I have a cape. You watch as the red cape is untied with the purple magic and is floated into the room, “Ok, come on you two.”
You follow behind Twilight as you mentally plan what you’re going to do at a library, first things first, don’t touch any book, not being pulled into a book sounds really good for a day away from magic.
