Chapter 12-Friendship
Twilight said she needed to go outside, get some fresh air, and maybe have some lunch with her friends. That would help her wounded heart.
That was over eight hours ago and Spike couldn’t find her anywhere.
The search began with only Spike and Owlowiscious after the first five hours since Twilight left her castle. Spike commanded Owlowiscious to take to the skies and see if he could find Twilight maybe sitting on a nearby cloud. That kept the owl busy for quite some time. As for Spike, the poor baby dragon had to search all of Ponyville for her. He checked Sugarcube Corner first of all, seeing nopony there but Pinkie Pie entertaining the two foals. Next was Carousal Boutique, and Spike admitted staying there longer than he needed to be.
Spike searched at Town Hall, Fluttershy’s cottage, Rainbow Dash’s house, and probably every last place Twilight would want to be in Ponyville. When his searching was all but pointless, Spike decided to ask ponies for help, to which many said they would keep their eyes open for her.
Rarity said she hadn’t seen Twilight since her visit to the castle. Fluttershy hasn’t seen Twilight for the same reason. Rainbow Dash was nowhere to be found, typical Rainbow Dash. Pinkie said she would help Spike look for her. The dragon was so relieved, only to have his annoyance grow once Pinkie began greeting everypony she knew traveling the town with Spike.
Spike gave it up and went at it alone.
Three hours gone and still nothing. The sun had already set and Luna’s moon was rising over the mountains. Spike stood on the edges of Ponyville Park, covered in dirt and sweat flowing down his forehead. He lay back on a tree, slowly sinking to the ground.
Maybe he should just go back. Twilight was probably home by now. Besides, where else would Twilight Sparkle be?
Spike closed his eyes once realization struck him.
He slowly turned his head in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres. The only place he didn’t look…and yet…he had a hunch. That was his next destination.
Once he got there, Spike was all but tired out. He practically had to crawl up the hill to reach Applejack’s barn. Speaking of Applejack, Spike hoped she didn’t mind if he just snuck into her barn for a short moment. In fact, he wasn’t the only visitor.
The barn’s door was slightly ajar.
Spike stood back up and made his way to the doors. He stopped once he heard the sound of whimpering coming from inside, followed by numerous sniffles and moans. He bit his lower lip, slowly pushing the door inwards and making his way inside. Spike didn’t make a sound.
But what he saw…
Spike’s jaw slightly dropped, his eyes now burning. What he saw was his friend, Twilight Sparkle, crying in front of Optimus Prime. Her head was resting on his bumper, her forelegs wrapped in front of her forehead. This is where she was all along. Talking to him, to her friend. He wondered how long she was in here, how long she was crying. Spike couldn’t believe Twilight would stay in here without any of her friends to keep her company.
Maybe she wanted to be alone. Maybe he should leave. Maybe…
Spike turned away to make his quiet escape, only to stop when Twilight began speaking to herself.
The Alicorn looked up at Optimus, her friend, with big teary eyes. She didn’t smile. Her face showed anything but joy. She sniffed hard and quietly began talking to him.
“…I’m sorry,” she cried, her voice cracking. “I’m sorry I wasn’t fast enough to save you. This is all…this is all my fault. If only I had known that you…that you were in t-the Everfree…then maybe we could’ve saved you in time. You probably would’ve had s-some Energon back then. But no…I’m the idiot who couldn’t get to you in time…and now you’re suffering the price of my failure.”
Spike almost had enough of this and took a step towards her, but stopped when Twilight let out a heartbroken cry, slamming her head against the front of Prime’s vehicle. Spike could hear her hyperventilating.
“Please…” Twilight whimpered, “I just…I just want my friend back…not some unresponsive statue again!”
Spike shook his head, reaching forward and planting his claw right on her shoulder. Twilight flinched at the touch but did nothing to acknowledge it. Spike pulled her into him and hugged her. Twilight was confused at first, but did not stop him. In fact, she embraced him just as powerful, crying right into his shoulder. She could feel Spike tighten his grip around her, protecting her.
It was this all over again. Spike clearly remembered hugging Twilight last year after the Decepticon invasion…and Optimus leaving. She blamed herself for making the choice that killed him, that killed Optimus. This was far worse. He was back, Optimus returned to them and now they can’t do anything to save him from slipping away. He could imagine Twilight’s pain back then…but not anymore. Spike couldn’t deal with how Twilight was feeling. Truly heartbroken.
But he could always try.
Spike let a tear slip down his scaly cheek. He brought Twilight’s gaze into his own, not surprised to see her eyes red with tears. He tried to smile, but simply couldn’t.
“Come on, Twilight,” Spike told her as another tear made its way down, “let’s get you home.”
The princess gave a weak nod, letting Spike wrap his arm around her and help her get back home. Neither of them bothered to shut the barn door.

NEXT TIME ON TRANSFORMERS THE REQUIEM- OPTIMUS SUDDENLY COMES BACK TO LIFE AND FREAKS OUT SMACKING HIS CANNON INTO SOMEPONY ACCIDENTALLY, and then hes gonna explain how he survived. nuff said XD
4864590 I hope he hits somepony with his cannon. That was my first favorite part of the movie.
4864639 it was one of mine, but then again, I liked nearly everything about the moive (seeing as I saw it 3 times)
Twilight's emotional condition is getting worse and worse. Come on Optimus! Don't leave her drowning in her misery!
Can't wait for Optimus to go "I'll kill you and whack you with my gun" then he would go like "My Autobots are in danger from little ponies!" and thats when the Rebal Alliance shows up and are like "Dude wheres my truck" before threatening to kill Apple Bloom if the mane 6 does not tell them where Optimus is and then Prime jumps out of an obvious place and starts shooting at the alliance while twirling like a ballerina meanwhile a white car shows up and smashes a guy in the face with his tire picks up the ponies and introduces himself as Prowl Autobot law enforcer and then the alliance chases them and Op until the mane 6 decide to get out for some reason and suddenly a wild Lockdown appears and throws a sticky grenade at Prowl's face and Prowl goes "WHAT THE FUCK IS IT A BLUE SPIDER?!" right before the grenade explodes and the ponies run from an explosion that is going sideways for no reason right before Flash Sentry who was always there gets caught in the explosion and is turned into a metal statue Optimus who was just watching the event in vehicle mode picks up the ponies where Optimus says "I'm sorry for the loss of your friend..........OH WAIT no one cares about him"
and the ponies celebrate Flash Sentry's death that night with OP, Bee, Crosshairs, Drift and Hound who is fat and not dead somehow.
4864903 I'm not going to rip off the movie. Though that would be epic.

Play this as you read the chapter. It makes you cry harder.
4864924 I intently wrote it to be terrible and not make sense.
Why else would Flash Sentry show up out of nowhere just to die?
Prime, you better hurry the heck up! Twilight is suffering!
4864997 OP is a dick (double standard right there)
4865043 A dick? That's an overstatement. It's not that Optimus didn't want to talk to them, it's that he can't.
4865161
Its a joke
Twilight Sparkle cares a lot about her friendship with Optimus Prime, and it shows in her heartbreaking words. She just wants her friend back.
4865287 Oh, my bad... it's hard for me to take a joke when it involves Optimus Prime and the Autobots.
Optimus can't do anything but watch that's until his woken up by my best guess Spike.
4866129 Its definitively going to be Flash Sentry.
4866559 Is that a joke?
4866592 Not sure
is it?
4866646 It is because Spike is the first main character and JD has said Spike is going to do some important things in the story.
4866683 So Luna going to have a big role in this episode?
4866794 You took that line from Bronies React.
4866805 Uhhhh no its not just a bronies react thing its generally a meme in the community
4866873 Sorry I'm still new at talk to other bronies.
What's gonna wake him up?
4867044 It's going to turn out to be coffee isn't it JD......
Finally a chapter that I actually feel sad about.
4867368 Well, ponies love coffee for some reason. Why not Autobots?
4867616 Yeah, the other ones weren't meant to be all that sad, just slow. For Twilight's chapter I wanted to show how heartbroken she truly was.
4867805 Is Galvatron from the movie in this story? Because if he is
4869481 that is why I have no fear. You die! -Galvatron
Poor Twilight. I can understand her pain. She finally found her friend again, only to see that he is basically dead. I bet she probably also feels guilty about how she had to let Optimus go and let him get sucked up in the previous story, even though there was literally nothing else she could have done.
