Might Be just a day...

Chapter 1 – Read first understand later

The late morning sun pours in through the windows around the library giving a nice homey warm feeling to the tree house library you reside in. But your mind is not on the happy thoughts of your easy starting morning, instead your mind like your ears and eyes are drawn to the two ponies that stand in front of where you sit.

The small light purple little filly's head slightly tilted up from where she sits on the floor to focus on the lavender mare's face as her voice continues to trail on. Violet may not always want to continue with Twilight's magic training, but she does enjoy seeing the mare's happy smiles that accompany every spell, despite the outcome. You've noticed a few things about Violet lately since her magic training first started.

Violet's ability to control her magic has gotten a little better, as long as she's not upset and really wants to do the correct spell. The little filly has also started to develop her own love of books, really no surprise when her mother is always pushing something but it still surprised you and Twilight when you started finding books stuffed under her bed that you don't remember her taking.

You shift your eyes gaze as Twilight comes closer to the table, her horn has a faint purple glow to it as the quill she set to the inkwell beside you comes to her magical grasp. Her voice comes almost to a mutter directed mainly to herself, but you listen to it as she flicks the quill to the paper, "...Alright, Violet has completed bounding spells...mhmmm, I guess we can start on this..."

A slight smile starts to run across your face as you look over Twilight's changing expression, "Running out of stuff?"

She cocks her eyebrow to your words as she smiles, "Of course not, it's just somethings are going to need a little bit more practice than others." She shrugs a little as she looks back to her list, "I figured it would be easier if we start with the easier stuff first and then move to the more strenuous things."

You nod your head to the comment as you speak up, "What kind of strenuous spells?"

Twilight's grasp on the quil is loosened as it floats back to it's inkwell, "Well, every test is different but its still designed to test foals-..." Her voice comes to an end as a new sound comes to the room.

The low chime doesn't scream attention but you and Twilight both turn back to the light purple filly as you notice she’s moved towards a few bookshelves that sit to this room.

A faint giggle comes from Twilight as she trots closer towards the filly, her baby like encouragement turns the filly around as one of the books from the shelf comes out and begins to hold in her grasp, "What are you looking for Violet?"

The filly blinks to the comment as she floats the book towards her face, the cover of the small brownish book comes to her sight as she looks it over. But the book doesn't stay to the filly's eyes only as she turns it towards Twilight with a faint smile.

You and Twilight look over the book as Twilight nods her head, "Oh, you want me to read it to you?"

You study the book's title for a moment as you think over a reason for there even to be a book for it's subject, The Life and Times of Discord.

Violet floats the book a little more towards the lavender mare as her magic chime rings through the room, but the low chime of the magic doesn't stay its rhythmic low for long as the faint blue glow starts to break away into a rising less than harmonious chime.

To the new noise Twilight's horn quickly sparks up in its own purple glow as Violet's magic becomes engulfed in its new color, but before you or Twilight can speak Violet's magical chime has sparked up to a loud green glow that ends with a pop as the light purple filly disappears from the room, "ViolAhChowwo!!"

Your mind's images comes to it's end as the bed next to you rocks a little, you listen to the mare's groan as you push your dream to the back of your mind; where you've locked away any other too real feeling dream.

The morning air is filled with the oak house's scent, but you're pretty sure it's just because today is the first day your nose has really been fully cleared. Its kind of funny that  how much you appreciate Ponyville's scents when you haven't been able to smell them for a few days.

You hold your smirk as you start to poke your hoof towards the mare's side, "So how ya feeling?" You give no attempts at trying to play coy as you rub your cold hoof that laid above the covers all night over her warm coat.

"Unnnhh..." The annoyed groan is followed by a slight sniffle from the lavender mare as she pulls the covers a little more towards herself.

A faint chuckle comes from you as you continue your poking of the mare, "Hmm?"

"Mhmm..." No real response comes from the mare as you move your head to tease the back part of her mane, the senseless moan comes back to your ears with what sounds more like a real made up of groggy and stuffy nosed words, "...I never got sick before *sniff* I blame you..."

You give a laugh through your clear nostrils as you take your head from her, "At least I don't roll away from you in bed."

A light giggle comes from Twilight as she sighs and starts to shift in the bed a little, "That's because you already had this co-AhChowwo!"

Another laugh comes from you as you feel her body jerk from her less than ladylike bellow, "At least it only last a few days."

"HA!" Twilight's stuffy voice comes back in a more commonly know it all tone as she speaks up, "I never really studied healing spells, but I know how to get rid of a simple cold...Besides I can't be sick for Winter Wrap tomorrow."

You blink to her words as you talk, "Wait...why didn't you just use a spell like that on me?"

"Because, you shouldn't really have any outer magic running through your body." As Twilight's words end you roll your eyes to the words. Not a moment passes before the covers of the bed become cloaked in your own purple magic as you lean your head a little towards the mare with a thought, bring it on magic...

As the covers start to float from the bed Twilight quickly springs to life as her front hooves flail towards the covers and bringing them back to her body with a slightly annoyed moan.

You sit up a little more in the bed as you cock your eye to the mare, really? I'm the one that wants to get up? As the thought rolls through your mind you look to the window, the world outside has been sent into a nice winter morning and you can tell that Twilight decided to sleep in a little longer today.

The lavender mare still has her hooves wrapped to the bed's covers as you start to move from the bed to start your morning mind battle on whether or not to just crawl back into bed...But with a few stretches of your legs you bring yourself to stand as you turn back to Twilight. "Your not getting up?"

No answer comes from the mare as you quickly change your voice to a slightly lighter tone, "Princess Don Nothing's star student is sleeping in?!" You give a playful and faked gasp as you watch her figure rollover.

Her eyes squint to you as the soft purple orbs in her pool of white begin to look you over. From the stare you shift a little, but her voice comes to the room in just a moment holding it's clearly stuffy nosed tone, "Why are you so...awake today?"

You shrug to the comment as you watch the mare starting to stir more and more from the bed, her tone holds as she cocks her head with a slight sniffle of her nose, "...Ugh, you know something I never even felt this tired when I have regular colds." Her front left hoof comes to point to you as you smile to her.

With your smile being held to your face you poke your fun to her comment, "You've never caught an alien's cold."

Twilight rolls her eyes to the comment with a faint giggle as she moves from the bed, as her hooves touch to the ground her horn sparks up in a low purple as the bed's sheets and covers start to become a neat and perfectly laid style, with the pillows in just the right order and space apart from each other. You smirk to the bed's too professionally magical made bed as you turn from the room, it still looks good when I make it.

The sound of Twilight's hooves doesn't start up behind you, but you don't stop your own path as you quietly try to sneak your way towards Violet's room. You're a little surprised the filly didn't already gallop towards the room, but you hold the thought off as you think it over, she's just sleeping.

As the threshold to the room comes to you, you peer inside towards the empty bed. It catches you off guard for a moment but you just stare to the bed as you look it over, the covers have been for lack of a better word thrown across the top to make it look somewhat made and the pillow's have been just pushed up to the back of the bed giving the illusion of being neat.

A smile comes over your face as you look over the room, there's no doubt that the bed has been made childishly.

"Violet up yet?" Twilight's voice comes next to you as the lavender mare trots beside you with her mane brush held by her purple puppeteering. Her eyes quick turn to the room as she nods, "Hm, she makes her bed like you..."

A dumb smile comes over your face as you shift your gaze a little towards her. But you meet an already expecting face as she starts to move towards the room with a faint laugh, "I'll fix it."

"What's wrong with my-..." Your voice comes to an end as the sound of a plate shattering comes ringing through the house. You quickly bring your trot back up as you think to yourself, mini Twilight now thinks she can do everything by herself now huh?
