“...Twilight,” I decided.

“Sounds good to me,” Spike buoyantly replied.

“Alright, I think that’s enough for today,” Twilight said to all three of us once her and Starlight’s conversation was finished. “Moving all these boxes was more tiring than I thought, so we can go through them tomorrow.”

“That’s fine,” Starlight commented. “Trixie’s going to be back in town later tonight, so I can use this time to make her some teacakes before she arrives. See you guys later.”

“Bye, Starlight,” Twilight, Spike, and I practically said in unison as she trotted off towards the kitchen.

“I think I’ll use this time to…um…reorganize my comic book collection,” Spike said as he got up.

I could tell by the way he said that sentence that Spike didn’t really need to reorganize his comic book collection. He was just saying that to excuse himself so that Twilight and I would be alone. He really is a good friend. I’ll have to make that up to him.

“Okay, have fun,” Twilight said as Spike hurried down the hall, leaving Twilight and me alone in the hallway.

“So Twilight, you have any other plans for today?” I asked her as I got up.

“Ummm…” Twilight started to reply as she brought a hoof up to her chin. “No, I don’t think I have anything else going on today.”

“Well in that case, how about we spend the rest of the day together then?” I suggested. “We haven’t had a whole lot of alone time since I’ve been back, and I really want us to catch up for lost time.”

Just then, Twilight dawned the biggest and happiest smile I’d ever seen her give.

“Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!” she enthusiastically exclaimed as she hopped in place a few times like an excited filly before regaining her composure and calming down. “Err, I mean, I think that sounds like a great idea, Jake.”

I could help but give a small chuckle at how cute Twilight had just looked and acted before speaking up again.

“Okay, so what should we do?” I inquired.

“Well, we could go antiquing,” Twilight proposed. “I haven’t done that in ages and it was really fun when I did it with Spike. Or, if you don’t want to go out, we could stay here and re-enact scenes from some of the books in the library.”

I raised an eyebrow in confusion at Twilight’s second suggestion, curious about where it had come from.

“I’ve been getting into acting lately,” Twilight embarrassingly explained.

“Well they both sound like fun,” I remarked. “But between those two options I think I’d like to…”

Go Antiquing

Do Re-enacting
