Spike watched as his mother rubbed her chin and stared at the calendar in front of her, as if would tell the unicorn all the secrets of the universe. Considering what she was really trying to do, obtaining enlightenment by looking at a piece of paper was probably the task that was easier to accomplish.
“Well, she’s tried the exploding present yesterday when I went to Sugarcube Corner, glued seat three days ago, and Rainbow Dash stopped trying to help her after I conjured that irremovable makeup on her and threatened to leave it on, so that means… today’s spiked food, or a prank involving water.”
After finishing off the last of his ruby breakfast, the dragon sighed and shook his head. “Twilight, why do you even bother? Even if you can figure out what prank Pinkie is going to try and pull on you today, the way she does them is impossible to predict.”
Twilight turned away from her calendar and frowned. “Because I’d rather be prepared for it if something does happen,” she told him. “Besides, today we’re all going to Canterlot to divvy up that dragon’s horde and …are you sure you don’t want to come?”
For a moment, Spike felt tempted by the offer of going back to his hometown and maybe seeing Princess Celestia again, but…he didn’t want to be within a hundred miles of the city when Twilight arrived. Plus, Sparkler was coming over later to hang out. So he’d at least have somepony to talk to.
“Nah, I’m fine.”
The dragon found himself the object of a scrutinizing look from the unicorn for a few seconds, but then Twilight shrugged, pulled him into a hug, and kissed Spike on the forehead. “Okay Spike. Just don’t eat all the ice cream this time,” she told him with a light smile that had Spike frowning, wondering how in the hay Twilight had known what his plans were.
Then, there was the other part. This time? But then, maybe Pinkie’s weird theory about Twilight wasn’t so far off.
“Uh…sure thing Mom,” the dragon agreed. He could leave one scoop left for her. But the rest would be all his!
Another kiss to the forehead and her usual ‘I love you’ got a blush of embarrassment from the dragon before she walked to the door, and got covered in cold water as a bucket fell from above to cover Twilight’s head. Which was strange, considering the door had been completely closed, and they had been the only ones in the room, behind a locked door.
“Pinkieeeeeeee,” the unicorn growled from inside the metal bucket before the pink pony popped out from the bookshelf behind her, scattering the various volumes that had been placed there.
“Awww, Twilight, I thought for sure you would have seen that one coming!” she exclaimed.
The unicorn levitated the bucket off her head and cast a quick spell that gathered up the water before dropping it on the lawn outside before she turned back to Pinkie Pie with an expression somewhere between tired and irate. “Pinkie I keep telling you, I’m not psychic! I knew your real name because Celestia had you all looked into after we became the Element Bearers and gave me the information. I just burned it without telling any of you because it was creepy!”
However, Pinkie Pie just gave Twilight a scrutinizing look. “Weeeeellllll, that doesn‘t explain how-”
Twilight held up a hoof to forestall her. “Look, can we just get going? We’re taking the first train to Canterlot, and I know how long getting into these debates with you takes.”
As the pink party pony followed the unicorn magus out the door and closed it behind her, Spike ran to the unicorn’s desk and pulled out a piece of paper to put the plan he had come up with last night after learning of Twilight’s intentions to head home for a day.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Twilight is headed to Canterlot on important business, and would like to meet you at the train station to talk about some stuff.
Spike.

well, this is going to be amusing
Yay, a preview! It's so previewy!
Spike that traitorous... jerk! How could you doom the entire population of Canterlot to death?
Oh, NO he didn't!
I feel like I'm missing something here but what's so bad about her arriving in Canterlot? Is it about her attitude towards Celestia?
...Okay, that dragon can possibly blow out whole Canterlot.
But All in All, I Can't Wait for Chapter 6.
