Leapling day

by Feefers


Prelude

Spike scampered towards the door, as there was a loud second knock.
"I'm coming already just hold on!" He shouted from behind the large oak door, as he looked at the wobbling stack of books he had just placed down
"Happy Dinky-Derp day Miss Sparkle!" The rather dim voice of Derpy Hooves the mail pony proclaimed as Spike peeked out the door.

"Oh ... hello! Twilight is busy just now, sorry," Spike said; thinking how he'd like to be busy doing the same as she was right now.
Sleeping in.
"That's okay! I just got some mail for her," Derpy said as she smiled softly at the small dragon.
Spike smiled back, there was something not quite right about Derpy, more not right then usual at least.
He also had no idea what Dinky-Derp day was.
Perhaps it was a special day, for those special ponies; that have the very special talent of making work for others.

"I can take that then..." Spike offered.
"Okay Miss Sparkle!" Derpy beamed happily as a soft grey glow flowed from her horn, opening the mail backpack.
Two small envelopes surrounded by grey magical energy floated down into Spike's waiting paws.
 "There you go Miss Sparkle; you have a good Dinky-Derp day! Okay?" Derpy grinned before starting to trot off.

"I guess she is just really pleased that they named a day after her," Spike muttered as he closed the door.
He looked curiously at the top envelope; it had a royal canterlot seal!
Spike sniffed at the Canterlot seal and licked it; he even tried to pick a little off with his claw a little.
It looked like the royal canterlot seal, but it was not; there was something strange about the design.
It was not the seal of princess Celestia that was for sure!
He had seen enough of those to be able to tell it right away.

He waddled past the stack of wobbling books and up to the bedroom. Quietly he knockied on the door. "Uh...Twi?" Spike asked waiting to see if there was a response.
"Spiiiiiiike...." Twilight's tired voice came from inside, "You were the one that said I needed to rest today."

"I know Twilight but the mail mare was just here," Spike replied digging his claws subconsciously into the wooden floor.
"That grey pegasus, what did she want?" Twilight asked, Spike could her starting to trot across the floor of the bedroom towards the door.

"Oh she had a letter for you, it's got a pretty weird royal seal on it, I think it's from Princess Luna," Spike replied thinking hard about the meeting earlier; something jarring in his mind. "... Grey Pegasus?" He asked out loud to nobody in particular.
"Yeah what's her name? Derpy maybe?" Twilight replied unsure of her answer, Spike was suddenly realised what had been so wrong with the Derpy he saw earlier.

"Uh ... But the mail pony that came today was..." Spike started to say before blinking in disbelief; he stared directly at Twilight as she stood in the doorway, soft feathery purple wings fully outstretched.

"Was what Spike?" Twilight asked, her mane still out of place from sleep.
"T.t.t.t.t.t.t...." Spike stammered his clawed hand pointing towards Twilight dropping the second envelope without realising.

"What is it ..." She didn't need to finish the question as Twilight looked back to where Spike was pointing seeing her full wings stretching out.
"Oh my..." She exclaimed.
