Chapter 10 – If I say...

The light purple filly barely has her eyes open as you near the library, you move a head of Twilight and Violet as you open the door and wait for them to go inside.

As you three walk inside you bring your eyes to the small purple dragon resting his head on the table and holding his sides.

"Spike, did you eat everything?" Twilight floats her hat off and towards the table as she stares at him.

"What no no-..." He stops as he presses his claw to his mouth, "Ok...maybe a little."

Twilight gives a slight groan as she looks him over, but her death stare doesn't get to last long as he moves from his seat, "I-I think i'm going to lay down."

You watch him waddle a little towards the stairs as you roll your eyes, but you move your head back to Twilight's voice as it comes back to the room.

"Alright Violet lets get you a bath before-..." Her voice is cut off as you hear a knock at the door.

You walk over to it as you open it, but the pony you see at the door is not somepony you would have guessed as you watch the tall dark blue mare trot into the room.

"Hello Twilight Sparkle."

Twilight gives a friendly smile as she talks, "Hello Princess Luna."

The dark mare puts her head down a little sheepish as she talks, "What does thou think of our entrance early this evening?"

Twilight gives a slight giggle as she answers her, "Its was perfect Princess."

"We were unsure scaring ponies is what they really wanted, but we did promise we would return." Her voice is stopped as she looks down to the tired filly, "Ah, hello Violet Sparkle, we have to say not having you at the castle makes hiding the royal cookie jar easier."

You give a slight chuckle as you start to undo your cape, royal cookie jar? They better be good.

Violet gives a happy smile to Luna but her eyes still hold their half closed tiredness as she leans a little to Twilight's legs.

Luna returns the smile as she looks back to Twilight, "Well as Princess of the Night I believe it's time for me to get back to guard everypony's dreams" She moves her head to you as she squints her eyes, "Do forgive me if you still seem to have problems in your dreams, humans are...a little harder to get into."

Your eyes are a little wide as you try to make sense of her comment, she doesn't go to every dream...right?

Twilight scoops the little filly up as she talks, "Goodbye Luna, oh and could you tell Celestia that i'll hopefully be done with her spell tomorrow when I figure out what it's for." She gives a slight laugh as she impatiently waits for Luna's answer.
But the dark mare just blinks a little confused to the comment as she answers, "...Yes I will." Luna waves goodbye as she leaves the house.

"Alright Violet lets get you cleaned up, or you might stay green forever." Twilight gives a little giggle to her comment as you and her start up the stairs.

You slightly push in front of her as you duck into your room, the box you foolishly put on the bed still sits there as you quickly float the box behind you as Twilight pokes her head into the room, "I'll be back when I get Violet to sleep."

You nod your head with a smile as you wait for her soft eyed gaze to leave you, as she does you move your undone cape to the drawer as you bring the box in front of you. You don't know why but for some reason you can't give her the horn ban unless its the perfect moment... you move yourself back to sit on the bed as you hold the box in your hoof.

- - -

The dark night sky seeps through the window as you listen to the quiet house, you're not tired and you now lay  back down to the bed just mindlessly floating the box above your head. Twilight walked past the door from Violet's room almost an hour ago, and you thought she just went to get the hat she left downstairs...but you doubt it takes that long to walk back up.

The low chime of the purple glowing box above your head has been what's hypnotizing you to keep waiting...but you've waited long enough as you move your gaze to the dark open door.Note to self, tomorrow give her the horn band even if its not perfectly like you want it to be...

You give an annoyed sigh as you float the box into the drawer and close it, you walk toward the door as you hold your gaze to the hallway.

You move quietly towards Violet's room, but as you peer in you only see the little purple filly's head poking up from the covers. You slowly turn back to go down stairs as you move your eyes to the low purple light coming from downstairs.

As you descend the stairs you're slight annoyance turns to a bit of anger as you stare to Twilight's drained tired eyes staring too a few books that float in front of her face.

Her horn glows a very weak purple as you watch her tired eyes squinting to the dim light, your voice comes to the room in a loud whisper as you call out to her while you get closer, "Twilight?"

The low purple glow sparks up a little brighter as her eyes go wide to your voice, but they drop back to their sleepiness as she smiles to you, "Oh...hi."

You glare at her as you nod to the books, "Thought you said tomorrow?"

Twilight rolls her hoof to you as she gives a yawn, "I'm fine."

You roll your eyes as you walk over to her and over power her magical grasp to the books she floats in front of her, that fact that you just did it without even a slight tug helps reiterate that fact shes tired. Your voice is a little louder as you hold your whisper, "Do I have to carry you up the stairs and put you in bed like Violet?"

She gives a quiet giggle as she looks back to the open Elements of Harmony box on the table, "You can't carry me."

You squint to her comment as you think, firebending alien wizard shape shifter super pony librarian... You move a little closer as you nudge her to get up, "No, but I can drag you...now come, you're tired."

It takes her a few moments before she gets up and slightly leans her head on you, she gives another yawn as she talks, "...I just don't understand, Star Swirls spell just doesn't make any sense...from one to another, another to one a mark of one’s destiny singled out alone fulfilled...that just doesn't even sound like a spell."

She gives a slight tired groan as she leans her head on you, "...I'll try it again tomorrow..."

You ignore her words as you walk to her pace towards the stairs.

As you two start to move up the stairs the light purple star on the crown sitting in the middle of the other Elements of Harmony starts to glow a little white...but it goes unnoticed by you or Twilight as you both lose sight of the bottom of the library.
