Spike flew toward Canterlot, his vision blurry, his tears of frustration were rolling down his cheeks and his head pounded like Dj Pon-3’s speakers at a rave. And to top it off the sun was starting to set over the horizon, all the more reason to stop and rest, but Spike being the stubborn dragon he is pushed himself even harder.
Ignoring the fatigue, pain, and his emotions he kept on a path straight for the Palace, he gathered all his strength and with a final push be propelled himself up toward the sky. Gliding though the evening sky, he admired the beauty it held. “Maybe I should take evening flights more often and just enjoy the breeze.” Spike thought to himself as he pushed further into Canterlot . As he trekked on he started to feel a little light headed and dizzy. He couldn’t focus on flying in a straight line, he started to descend when he lost consciousness, and started falling toward the ground below.
In the Palace of the Princesses:
“Good evening my dear sister, and a good evening to you was well Princess Sparkle.” Luna said as her and her sister and Twilight were admiring the setting sun.
“Ah, my dear Sister. It is almost time for your glorious night. I’ve always loved your nights; I envy how you are so creative with your patterns and star alignments. I could never recreate nights as beautiful as this” Celestia told her sister as she walked out onto the balcony lowing the sun; catching a glance at a tiny figure in the distance, falling at a rapid rate. Falling toward their demise, she jumped into action spreading her wings and taking to the skies and lighting up her horn she teleported to the edge of the city.
Luna taking action as well as Twilight took to the night sky following the Princess of the Sun, seeing the magical rift left after Celestia teleported; Luna and Twilight teleported through the same rift catching up to Celestia and ever closer to the body seeding toward the ground. Luna teleported even closer stopping just right in front of the body, which now she noticed was Spike and sped toward him trying to catch him, but she would have to do a sonic rainboom to catch him now instead Twilight, who was now on the ground under him, transformed an pile of rocks into a pile of mattresses for Spike to land on. All the while Twilight was shouting Spike’s name trying to wake him.
“Spike! Spike! Spike wake up!”
“SPIKE!!!!” Twilight shouted in to the sky hoping the dragon would wake and stop himself from falling.
Spike finally landed on the pile of mattresses, still unconscious, in addition to that now there was an audible snapping of a limb or limbs.
With this the Princesses rushed over to Spike’s batter body and Celestia engulfed him in her magic and lifted him into the air. Luna, Celestia, and Especially Twilight were in tears, Twilight was shouting her head off saddened by the sight of her number one assistant, but mostly she was hurt to see her little brother in such a state as he was in. Luna lit her horn in her magic gathering all her power and teleported them into the castle, but more specifically the hospital wing of the castle.
“SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!” Twilight shouted in her royal Canterlot voice still not used to its power she sent a lot of medical papers flying around the room. A nurse came with a hospital bed and Celestia placed Spike atop of it, and the nurse rushed Spike down the hall down to the ER, while the staff gathered and rushed to help the dragon.
Now all they could do was hope and pray that Spike was alright.
Meanwhile in Ponyville:
“Why Spike? Why did you have to go off all alone? Why can’t you open up to me so I can help you with your problems? Why do you love to hurt me?” Summer Blossom sobbed as she was returning to her home with nothing but the moonlit sky and a few dimly lit torches.
She didn’t even feel like flying or even walking her mind told her body to walk in the direction of home. Not even paying attention she accidently bumped in to a while unicorn that was carrying various records in her magical grip and wearing purple tinted glasses on her face.
Summer and the unicorn were sent into the opposite direction that they were going in, the unicorn losing her grip on the records and sent then crashing toward the ground.
“No! Not the records!” The white mare shouted as she tried to save her precious music, Summer Blossom sat there in shock still trying to make sense of what just happened. Summer looked over at the mare trying to figure out who she was and what she was saying, but she ignored the sounds of the unicorn that was apparently shouting at her.
“HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?” Vinyl shouted at the Pegasus sitting in front of her with a blank expression on her face, her eyes were red and she seemed shocked out of her mind. Vinyl stopped talking realizing that something was wrong with this mare; she held her hoof out to help the purple maned mare in front of her up. “Hmmm she looks a lot like Rarity, but the only difference is that she is a Pegasus, Interesting.” Vinyl thought to herself as she helped the mare up.
“Thank you and I’m very sorry about bumping into you I wasn’t paying attention to where I was walking.” Summer Blossom said with a sad expression on her faced as she looked toward the ground. “Are your records okay?” She asked as she remembered hearing her shout out something as the collided.
“Oh its fine my records are okay, thank you for asking Ms.?” Vinyl questioned as she seemed to remember that they never game a name to each other.
“Oh where are my manners, my name is Summer Blossom. What yours?” Summer asked the white unicorn in front of her.
“Vinyl Scratch, pleased to meet ya! You seem down would you like to talk about it over a drink? I was headed over to the bar after my gig was done. Care to join me?” Vinyl asked Summer Blossom as she smiled and lifted up the glasses for the first time they met.
“Oh, your eyes are beautiful! Sorry random, but sure I would love to join you. I do need a couple after today.” Summer said as she rubbed the temples of her head.
“Ha-ha, thanks a lot no one really tells me that.” Vinyl said blushing, “Okay it’s settled! To the bar! Vinyl shouted as she raised a hoof in the air.
Meanwhile at Carousel Boutique:
Rarity dropped yet another bottle of wine on the floor of her beloved shop, this was the 5th bottle today and it didn’t seem she was stopping anytime soon. She reached for the next bottle of wine, but it was just out of her grasp. She gave up this useless attempt and let her are fall down to the side of the bed.
“What have I done?” Rarity muttered as she lay there in her own sorrow and guilt. “Why did I do this to my Spikey-wikey? Why am I so cruel to him? He didn’t deserve this, who knows where he is now. He probably hates me forever.” She continued to sob into her pillow, until she came up with an idea.
“I will find him tomorrow and make everything alright. I don't like the idea of my Spikey-wikey hating me. But first I need to get ready for my date tonight!! Nothing like a trip to Canterlot to cheer you up.” Rarity said hopping out of bed and into the shower.
