Spike invited me to the guest room at Twilight's castle last night to make sure I'm fine. We had an amazing sleepover together, just me and Spike. We played some games and I got to teach him a few games I learned from back in the day. Some of the time, Spike was actually in his room which I got to go into and see what he was doing.
Today I get into his room again this time to see that in his closet, he's building a TV. He must've gotten those skills from him assisting Twilight for nearly twelve years. I can't really talk right now because my throat is absolutely burning right now, and I can't really walk as fast as I'm used to because the burning throat is taking all my energy just to walk away.
Twilight comes home to me in the dining room having a warm brew. Coming in, the rest of the six ponies come in.
"Howdy, partner." Applejack points her hat to me as I wave back.
"I see you're enjoying something hot." Fluttershy smiles as I nod.
"Everypony, this is Joshua Crapo." Twilight points to me as my throat starts tingling again after a short break from the honey green tea.
"Hey Josh. I heard about you when Twilight directly received a letter." Rainbow Dash walks over to me.
"I know, how uncommon." Rarity faces Rainbow Dash.
"So, has Joshy actually had wings prior to yesterday?" Pinkie zips over and examines my back.
"Who cares when he got 'em? This means another new flying buddy!" Rainbow Dash hovers over to Pinkie Pie and wraps her hoof around my wing, which, I admit, feels very comfortable.
Spike stops them. "Now hold on everypony. Josh can't really talk right now. His throat is kinda messed up."
Everyone else gasps. "Not laryngitis!!!" Pinkie shouts. "You grow wings only to lose your voice?!?" I nod. "You know how valuable your voice could be Joshy?!? VERY VALUABLE!!!" I couldn't help but smile at her over-the-top insanity.
"Calm down Pink. It'll be over in a week or two if it was just screaming, which is what you were just doing." Rainbow Dash just turns to Pinkie.
Applejack rolls her eyes. "As if he did."
"Really, she's pretty spot on Applejack."
Twilight walks over to Spike. "So then, Spike, what's your 'secret weapon' to prove it?"
"Zecora. She even said these lines. 'I may have a way to true your dreams, for I have a potion that grows you wings. But use this gift wisely, or else the consequences will be pricey.' Josh was given wings, but he has to use them wisely, which he has so far. Same applies for his voice though, albeit it's a natural gift, but since he screamed at the top of his lungs at Zecora's hut plus a realization or two, that was taken away."
"It really surprises me that he would get such an inflammation." Rarity faces me now. "Spike, do you think you could get Josh some teabags over at Carousel Boutique?"
"Anything for you Rarity." Spike starts to float around with popping hearts around him, but then dashes out of the dining room. I thought for a second. Oh dear.
"Hey Josh, when Spike gets back home, maybe we can stop at Sugar Cube Corner." I smile at Pinkie and nod.
