//------------------------------// // Progress Report Week 7 // Story: A Muffin For Muffins // by BatwingCandlewaxxe //------------------------------// Progress Report Week 7 Today is my day off. I have been spending the entire day studying and doing tests. I did the shape matching test very fast, much faster than Princess Twilight expected, but I'm still not improving as much on the maze. I am just not a fast runner or flier. I did get through it twice without ever hitting a dead end, and she said that was very good. The machine with all the wires on my head is called an encephalograph. Princess Twilight helped me spell that. She said it shows my brain activity. I asked if it meant she could see my thoughts. She said no, it didn't work like that, it just tells her what parts of my brain are active, and how active they are. She said that it shows a lot of improvement, much more than expected, so I should be able to learn new things very fast. Today I used a lot of my pay to buy a big book on Equestrian language studies. The Princess said that she had one she would be happy to loan me, but I said that I wanted one of my own. She said she understood that, and seemed very happy about that. She really likes books. More than anypony else I think. I like books too, but I don't think I will ever like them as much as Princess Twilight does. I have been using the new language book to learn a lot more about language, so that I can be a writer some day. I am using it right now to make sure my spelling is good and my grammar is not too bad. I still need to learn more about punctuation, but first things first as the Princess would say. I took a break to go get a muffin and that reminded me about Muffins the mouse so I went back to the castle I asked if I could see her. Princess Twilight said it was okay for me to hold her. That was so much fun. She is so smart and cute. That was about Muffins the mouse, not Princess Twilight. Princess Twilight is also very smart, probably the smartest pony ever. She is also kind of cute, but not as cute as Muffins. The Princess watched me play with Muffins in the maze and on the floor for a while with an odd look on her face. I asked if there was something wrong but she said no. She also said I could come back and visit Muffins any time I wanted.
