> After is Sad > by RainbowSkunk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Twilight's Only Friend > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Dear Journal, It has almost been a year since the war. My friends have still been ignoring me. I still wonder why Spike won't talk to me. He never leaves his room. Rainbow Dash doesn't talk to anypony anymore. Same with Pinkie. Every time I visit her, she talks to her dolls that look like us, the elements of harmony. My only friend is Princess Luna. I tend to visit her once and a while. She tells me stories about when she first became a princess. She talked about how Celestia ignored her and that's how she turned into Nightmare Moon. Still, It must be hard. Luna barely raises the sun because it reminds her of her sister. Let you know if anything else happens. Twilight Sparkle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I put down my diary. I heard something downstairs. I ran down as fast as I could. "Spike!" I yelled happily. "Hi Twilight." Spike responded. I went in for a hug, but Spike just grabbed some food and walked back to his room. Soon before the war, I decided Spike should get his own room. I let him have the guest room, and now he never leaves it. "Spike, what's wrong?" I asked. "You used to be happy." "That was old Spike. The Spike before the war." Spike answered. He slammed the door. I sighed. I decided to go to Canterlot to see hoe Luna was doing. I lit my horn. I learned how to teleport much farther than before. I body started to glow. Suddenly, I was in Canterlot, outside the castle. I walked inside. I've been here so much the guards didn't worry about me. Also, I'm a princess. They can't really tell me to leave. I walked up the stairs. I walked to the hallway. There were two doors right across from each other. One had a sun on it. The other had a moon. I knocked on the door with the moon. "Who is it?" A pony asked from inside. "Me, Twilight." I answered. Luna opened the door. "Hello Twilight." she greeted. "Come in." I walked in and sat on a cushion at a table. Luna sat across from me. "So Twilight Sparkle, how have you been? Anything new in Ponyville?" she asked. "No. It's the same as before." I answered. I sighed. Luna sighed as well. "Twilight, do you know what day it is tomorrow?" Luna asked. I pondered it for a while. I finally realized what day it was. "It's ok, Luna. We don't have to celebrate." I comforted. "No Twilight. We have to." Luna said. "It's tradition." "Luna, I don't think the ponies of Equestria will mind missing one Summer Sun Celebration." I explained. Luna shook her head. "I just don't know what to do. I've never had to rule Equestria on my own. I wish Celestia was here." she said. "Luna, you've been doing great on your own." I said. "Celestia would be so proud." I noticed tears coming from Luna's eyes. I walked over to hug her. "Don't worry." I said. "It's ok." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was late so I decided to go back to my library in Ponyville. I lit my horn and teleported back. I walked up the stairs to my room. I got in my bed and I closed my eyes. "Tomorrow won't be different." I told myself. The next day I decided that I wouldn't see Luna today. I wanted to see my other friends. I decided to start with Pinkie. If I could make her happy, I could make anypony happy. I walked outside and headed for Sugar Cube Corner. > Pinkie Has Friends > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie I was in my room like usual. I was with my five friends, Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy. We were having a tea party! Sure, we didn't really have tea, we had punch! I saved it from my last party. "More tea, Rarity?" I asked. "Why, thank you Pinkie!" she answered. I poured the punch into Rarity's cup. I picked up my cup and took a sip. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Who could that be?" I asked myself. "Don't answer!" Rainbow yelled. "Why not?" I asked. "It's probably a spy!" she said. "Pinkie? Is that you?" That voice sounded familiar. I pushed Rainbow out of the way and opened the door. It was Twilight. "What?" I asked. "Two Twilights? I thought Twilight was over there!" "Pinkie, that's a doll." one of the Twilights said. I glared at her. "You ARE a spy!" I yelled. "Rainbow was right!" "Pinkie! Rainbow doesn't talk to anypony!" Fake Twilight tried to explain. I was smarter than that. The Twilight at my party was the REAL Twilight. I knew she was! I pushed Fake Twilight out and went back to my party. "Sorry about that!" I said. "Oh, it's ok, Pinkie." Fluttershy said. "Thanks Fluttershy!" I said. "More tea?" I was interrupted by another knock on the door. I walked over and opened the door. It was Fake Twilight again. "GO AWAY!" I yelled. "Pinkie, can't you see what's wrong?" Fake Twilight said. "You're upset about the war. I can tell. Your hair is flat." I continued to glare at her. "Just go! I have all the friends I need." I explained. "See, Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy!" "Pinkie, I'm Twilight, I saw Rainbow outside when I walked over here, and Rarity, Applejack, and Flutterhshy are dead." Fake Twilight explained. "Fake Twilight, you just want me to have no friends. You must be a war enemy! Get out NOW!" I yelled at her. I pushed her out once again. "When will she listen?" I asked myself. "I'm so happy you got rid of her!" Rainbow said. "Same here." Applejack agreed. "You are the best friends ever." I said. I smiled at them and hugged them. "Don't worry, I'll get you more tea." I said, grabbing the tea pot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later that day, I looked at my calender. "Hey guys, look!" I called. "Today is the Summer Sun Celebration! The day we became best friends." "I remember that like it was yesterday!" Twilight said. "I wonder how Celestia and Luna are doing?" I asked myself. > Luna's Kidnapped Friend > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna Dear Diary, Twilight Sparkle told me that I didn't have to celebrate the Summer Sun Celebration. I don't know what to do. My sister, who was also my friend, would want me to, but it hurts. I wish the war never happened. I wish Celestia was right here next to me. I regret all those things I said about her before I became Nightmare Moon. I'd give anything to not be alone anymore. Luna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wiped the tears from my eyes. I gave a big sigh. "It has been night long enough." I told myself. I walked outside to the platform where Celestia would raise the sun. I stood up. Though no ponies were here, I had to do it. For Celestia. I lit my horn. Slowly, the moon went down. Then, I lifted the sun with my magic. All the ponies came outside. "Look! It's Princess Luna!" one called. The sun was halfway up. Suddenly, I dropped. The sun went back down. The moon rose once again. "I'm sorry sister." I said. "I just can't do it." The ponies walked closer to see me. They noticed me cry. I felt a hoof on my shoulder. I looked up to see Twilight Sparkle. "Are you ok?" she asked. "Twilight, I thought you went to see your friends?" I asked. "I realized something was wrong when I saw the moon come back up." she explained. I stood up. "You are a great friend, Twilight Sparkle." I said. "I am lucky to have you." "Let's go inside." Twilight suggested. We both walked back into the castle. We went back to my room, where we always talk to each other. "I couldn't do it." I told Twilight. "The sun reminds me of Celestia too much." "I understand. It's ok if we don't have the sun." Twilight said. "Your feelings are too important." I put my face in Twilight's shoulder. I started to cry. "Celestia! Why did you have to go!?" I yelled. Twilight put her arms around me. "It's ok." She said. "We'll get her back. One day we'll go to the enemy and take back Celestia." I looked up at Twilight. "Thank you. For everything." I said. I hugged her. She was my only friend besides Celestia. She was always there for me. She understood my feelings. She was a true friend. "I must go back to Ponyville." Twilight said. "But I'll come back tomorrow." I nodded. I knew she couldn't spend time with me all the time. She had to get her other friends back. She told me about what happened with Pinkie. She didn't understand why Pinkie did that. I remember what happened. In her dream, she had a dream about her friends. They were smaller than before, but acted the same. Sometimes, your dreams affect who you are. I guess that happened with Pinkie. I just hope things will be better with Rainbow Dash. > Rainbow Zero Friends > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow I was on a cloud trying to take a nap. However, I was awoken by a voice I knew. "Rainbow Dash!" it called. I looked down to see my former friend, Twilight Sparkle. I just went back to my nap. "Rainbow! Please, talk to me!" Twilight begged. "No." I replied. "Well, that's something." Twilight said. I flew off the cloud and pushed it higher. "Rainbow Dash! Is this because you found Fluttershy's body?" Twilight asked flying up. "That's right, you have wings now." I commented. "And no, that's not why I'm not talking to anypony." "You're talking to me." Twilight said. I glared at her, hoping she would leave. She didn't, so I tuned away from her and tried napping. "Rainbow, you can talk to me. I'm your friend!" Twilight explained. "I have no friends anymore." I told her. It was clear that Twilight wanted my friendship. I also wanted to be her friend. But I couldn't. If she found out what happened, she'd never forgive me. "Twilight, just go. Try Pinkie." I suggested. "I already tried Pinkie. She rejected me." Twilight explained to me. "I've had enough." I said. I flew up to my cloud house. I slammed the door and locked it so Twilight couldn't get inside. I walked over to my bed. I pulled out a box from under it. I pulled a key from my drawer. I unlocked it and pulled out a journal. It's not a diary, it's a journal. Diaries are for ponies like Rarity. I opened to a new page and started to write. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Journal, Today I was met by my old friend Twilight Sparkle. I said I didn't want to be her friend, but she wouldn't stop. To be honest, I could use a friend right now. I can't stop thinking about what happened with Fluttershy during the war. If only I was more like Applejack. She sacrificed herself to stop the enemy from attacking her family. She was so brave to strap the bomb to her and run into that crowd. If I was like Applejack, Fluttershy would be here. Maybe I should go back and see Twilight. No. She's probably mad at me. What should I do? Rainbow Dash (A.K.A. The Fastest Pony in Equestria, Still) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I put down my pencil. "I wonder how Spike is doing?" I wondered. > Spike Hidden Friend > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike I sat down on a cushion Twilight gave me when I first got this room. I looked at a picture of my other friends, Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity. Rarity. I missed that white unicorn. To tell the truth, I had a BIG crush on her. We never did get together, but in the war, I accompanied her. Until that day. I don't like to talk about that day. The day Rarity died. I held her until she died in my arms. A tear came from my eye. It dropped on the photo. I can't see my friends anymore. I don't even know if they would want to see me. I heard the door close. "Twilight must be home." I said to myself. I heard her knock on the door. "Spike? Are you in there?" she asked. I didn't answer. "Spike, I know you are in there." Twilight said. "What do you want?" I asked, trying to be calm. "Well, I went to see Rainbow Dash, but she left me. My only hope is you." she answered. I walked over and opened the door. "She did?" I asked. Twilight just nodded. She came in to hug me, but I closed the door. I didn't want to take any chances. I heard Twilight start to walk upstairs to her room. I sighed. "Poor Twilight." I said. Suddenly, everything went black. "No! Not again!" I yelled. I couldn't remember what happened after that. I just remember waking up in the middle of the floor. My cushion was all torn up. "Great. Just great." I said, sarcastically. "Spike? What happened down there?" Twilight called. "Nothing!" I called back. That didn't work for Twilight. She started to walk downstairs. She came to my door and knocked on it. "Let me in." She ordered. I put more locks on the door. "Spike!" Twilight yelled. "Just go away!" I yelled back. "Spike! Please!" Twilight yelled again. "Go away!" I yelled. "You're not my friend anymore!" Twilight was silent after that. I couldn't believe I said that. "Twilight?" I asked, softly. She didn't respond. All I heard was running and crying. "I'm sorry, Twilight." I whispered. > Twilight's Dream > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight I ran to my room, tears coming from my eyes. I lay on my bed and put my face into my pillow. Why would Spike say that? I wondered. I picked up my diary from my dresser with my magic. I levitated a quill. I began to write in my journal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Journal, I just went downstairs to talk to Spike. Like usual, he ignored me. He opened the door once, but that's all. But what I thought would never happen happened. Spike came out and said I wasn't his friend. I don't understand why my friends won't talk. Well, Pinkie has gone mentally insane, so that I understand. But Rainbow and Spike? Why? Twilight Sparkle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I put down my journal and wiped the tears from my eyes. I looked at the clock on my wall. Since the sun hasn't been up in who knows how long, you had to use clocks to tell what time of day it was. The clock showed it was night. I decided to go to sleep at that time. I covered up and turned off the light. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That night, I had a dream. Luna and I were in her room like always. We heard a knock on the door. It was Pinkie. Her hair was poofy like before the war. "Hi Twilight!" she said in her cheerful voice. "Hi Pinkie! Come in." I said. I sat back down. Right after my flank touched the seat, there was another knock on the door. I got back up to check. This time, it was Rainbow. "Hi Twilight!" she greeted like she used to. "Hello Rainbow!" I greeted back. There was another knock on the door. It was Spike. The same thing happened. He greeted and acted normal, and there was another knock on the door. It was Fluttershy. Behind her was Applejack and Rarity. I woke up after that. Spike was making noise again. "Spike! Be quiet!" I yelled. He didn't respond. He was still making noise. I got out of bed and brushed my mane. There was a knock on the door. I walked downstairs wondering who it was. Rainbow and Pinkie would never visit me, Luna is busy with her extra duties, and Spike was in his room. I opened the door. I was surprised to see who it was. "Rainbow!?" I asked. > Rainbow's Change > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow "Hi Twilight." I said. Yesterday, she visited me, but I ignored her. I decided to change my ways. So, I went to visit her. "Hi?" Twilight sounded confused. "What's wrong?" I asked. Twilight wiped her eyes. "Am I still dreaming?" she asked. I shook my head. "Nope! It's me! Rainbow Dash!" I said. "But, you haven't talked to anypony for so long! Why have you lightened up?" Twilight asked. "Well, when I saw you yesterday, I realized how much friendship is worth. Even if they are eggheads." I explained. Twilight smiled. "Well, I'm happy to see you." she said. "So, how's Spike?" I asked. "Does he like his new room?" "He sure does." Twilight said, her smile was gone. "He's always in his room. He only comes out to get food. Which is like once every two weeks." she explained. "Oh. Well, how was it when you went to talk to Pinkie?" I asked. "Well, she's still crazy!" Twilight said. "She plays with dolls that look just like us! And also, her hair is flat!" "Like at her birthday party!" I remembered. "Maybe I can talk some sense into her." "Good luck." Twilight said. I started to walk to the door, but something stopped me. I heard a loud bang noise. "Was that Spike?" I asked. "Well, it came from his room." Twilight said. "Let's check it out." I suggested. I knocked on the door. "Spike! What are you doing!?" I asked loudly. The noise stopped. It was silent for a couple seconds. "Rainbow? Is that you?" Spike asked. "Yes." I answered. "Now, what are you doing?" "Nothing. You can go now." Spike answered. "Spike, I doubt that was nothing." Twilight said. "Spike, I'm going to kick the door down if you don't come out!" I threatened. "Ok!" Spike said. He opened the door and stepped out. He shut the door before we could look inside. "So, you to make up," I said, "and I'll go see Pinkie." I flew out the door and headed for Sugar Cube Corner. > Pinkie's Visitor > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie "When is Rarity going to be done in the bathroom!" I asked. "Well, you know her!" Twilight said. I heard a knock on the door. "Let me know when Rarity is done!" I said. I opened the door. "Hi Pinkie!" said a pony that looked a lot like Rainbow. "First Twilight, now Rainbow!" I complained. "Goodbye Fake Rainbow!" I shut the door. Fake Rainbow opened the door right after it was shut. "Hey!" I yelled. "Pinkie, it's me! Rainbow Dash!" Fake Rainbow said. "No, you're a fake! Real Rainbow Dash is sitting over there next to Twilight and me!" I explained. Fake Rainbow walked over to my friends. She stomped on Rainbow. "RAINBOW!" I screamed running over to bandage up my friend. "How could you!?" I yelled. "Pinkie! This is a doll!" said Fake Rainbow. "No! That's a lie!" Pinkie yelled. "I thought it would be a good thing to bring this." Fake Rainbow pulled out a disc. "Come on Pinkie." "A movie?" I asked. "But we need to finish our tea party! Rarity is still in the bathroom!" Fake Rainbow pulled out a rope. I gulped. Before I knew it, she tied me up. "No! I don't like movies! This one will suck!" I yelled. "Pinkie, you made this movie. You gave each of your friends a copy." Fake Rainbow said. She put the disc in the DVD player. Words popped up. They said, "Me and My Beat Friends!" A pink pony with poofy hair came on screen. She hugged other ponies, a purple unicorn, a blue pegasus, a yellow pegasus, an orange earth pony, and a white unicorn. "M-my friends?" I asked. Fake Rainbow nodded. Clips were shown of the pink pony and the others having fun and being great friends. More words showed up. They said, "We'll Never Forget Each Other." "Rainbow? Is that really you?" I asked. "Yes, I'm not a doll Pinkie." 'Fake' Rainbow said. She untied the rope. I jumped up and hugged her. "I'm so sorry I was so mean to you!" I said, tears from my eyes. "It's ok, you were just becoming insane." Rainbow said. "I have to apologize to Twilight! And I have to see Spike! Tell him I'm ok! Twilight probably talked to him about that." I said. "About that," Rainbow said. I didn't hear what else she said. I just ran out the door as my mane became pooky once again. > Spike's Rage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike "So, how have you been?" Twilight asked. "Good." I answered. That was a lie. I was actually going through a lot of stress. I didn't want Twilight to worry about me because she'd be around me a lot, and I just want to be alone. "Are you sure you're ok?" Twilight asked. "Why would you be hiding in your room if you were ok?" "I just figured you'd need some alone time." I said. "Alone time!? You think I need alone time!?" Twilight asked, getting anger in her voice. "Well, this has been fun," I said, "but I should be going. Besides, you should go see Pink-" I was stopped. A pony came into the library. "Hi guys!" said a cheerful pink pony. "Pinkie!" Twilight cheered. "I guess you two can make up now!" I said trying to get back into my room. "But Spike, I came to see you too!" Pinkie said. "Oh, you don't want to catch up with me. I'm boring." I said. "Spike, you're not boring! You're the most fun dragon ever!" Pinkie said. "Spike, what's wrong?" Twilight asked. I sighed. "Well," I started. Suddenly, the door opened again. Rainbow came flying in. "Pinkie! Spike doesn't talk to Twilight!" Rainbow shouted. "Well duh!" Pinkie said. "He's clearly trying to get away from her right now." "Spike," Twilight said. "why are you trying to get away from us? Don't you like us?" "Yes," I said. "and that's why" "Are you hiding something from us? What are you hiding?" Pinkie asked. "You see," I said. "Why do you never leave your room?" Rainbow asked. All these questions were coming out. I had no time to answer. They gave me no time. Suddenly, it started to become black again. Keep calm, keep calm, keep calm! I told myself. It was too late. I couldn't do anything about it. I opened my eyes later and looked at my friends. Twilight was on the ground. Pinkie and Rainbow were sitting by her. "Twilight! Wake up!" Rainbow said. "Twilight?" I asked, walking up. Rainbow turned and glared at me. "How could you!" she yelled. "Why would you do this!?" I looked at Twilight. She was passed out, still breathing, and had a large scratch on her side. Tears came from my eyes. "Leave." Rainbow ordered. I looked at Pinkie. She just nodded. I turned around running. I ran to the edge of the Everfree Forest. I looked up at the moon. "Luna, what is going to happen?" I asked. > Luna's Message > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna Dear Diary, I couldn't do it. The sun hurts me too much. It is a big reminder of my sister. I don't understand how she was able to do it before. When I was Nightmare Moon, I was gone from her. She was alone, and she was able to raise the moon. I guess she was just tougher than I. Luna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I put down my diary. Suddenly, a knock on the door. I walked over to the door and opened it. It was a guard. "Yes?" I asked. "I have a letter for you." the guard said. I lit my horn and picked up the letter. I opened the envelope and took out the letter. I read it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Princess Luna, Please come to Ponyville at once. Twilight has been injured and is in the hospital. Please come and help! Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I ran outside. "I must go." I said to the guards. I lit my horn and teleported to Ponyville. I ended up in front of the hospital I ran inside. I talked to the pony at the front desk. I ran into Twilight's room. "Where is she?" I asked. "She's right here." Pinkie answered. I looked at Twilight. She was still alive, which relieved me. "How has she been?" I asked. "Looks like she's been doing well." Rainbow answered. "What did this?" I asked. The others didn't answer. "What did this?" I asked again. "Spike." Rainbow answered. > Rainbow Explains > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow I looked at Princess Luna. She had a very confused look on her face. Luna came to Ponyville because me and Pinkie sent her a letter that Twilight was hurt. "Spike?" Luna asked. "Why would Spike do this?" "I don't know." I answered. "I thought he was our friend, but I guess we were wrong." Pinkie looked at me. "Hey!" she yelled. "Do you not remember all those times we spent with Spike!? Don't you remember how he dragged Rarity to us when she was about to die!?" I sighed. "You're right Pinkie. Spike is our friend." "I'm sorry to brake up your conversation, but what exactly happened to Twilight?" Luna asked. "Well, we were at the library. We were asking Spike some questions, but then he started looking angry." I started. "He looked constipated!" Pinkie said. "Yeah, kind of." I said. "After that, Twilight asked him what was wrong. He didn't answer and he scratched Twilight. It surprisingly did a lot of damage. Twilight was bleeding very badly. I grabbed him telling him to stop, and then he bit my front left hoof. I still have a bite mark. Then, Pinkie started shaking him. It looked like he was calming down, so Pinkie put him down. He walked up to Twilight like he didn't do anything. Then I ordered him to leave and he ran away." "Maybe we should look for him." Luna suggested. I nodded. "Ok, let's go. Twilight should be ok here." We headed towards the door, but then we heard something. We turned around. Twilight was waking up! > Twilight Wakes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight I woke up in a hospital bed. "Ugh. What happened?" I asked. "Twilight!" the others cheered. They all ran over to me and hugged me. "Ow!" I yelled. I looked on my side and saw I had stitches. "What happened?" I asked. "You were attacked by Spike! Don't you remember?" Pinkie said. I thought for a moment. I shook my head. "Are you sure it was Spike?" I asked. "Yes! We were there!" Rainbow said. "Well, Luna wasn't there." "No. You're wrong. Spike would never do this!" I said. "Twilight! We saw it with our own eyes!" Rainbow said. I started getting out of bed. "Twilight, what are you doing?" Luna asked. "I'm going home to see Spike." I answered. "Spike's not hone." Pinkie said. "What?" I asked. "He fled. I told him to leave after he hurt you." Rainbow explained. "Well then I'm going to find him!" I said. "But Twilight, what if he hurts you even more!" Luna asked. "He already caused you to have to get stitches." "Spike would never hurt me. I probably just got scratched on glass." I said. "Glass? Why won't you just accept it! Spike hurt you!" Rainbow said. I started walking towards the door. "I'm going to find Spike." I said. I walked out of the hospital and headed home to see if I could find clues on where Spike could have gone. I looked all around his room, but I couldn't find much. Just a lot of scratches everywhere. "Where are you Spike?" I asked. "I will help you." I turned around and saw my friend Luna.
