//------------------------------// // The Villainous Prison (edited) // Story: I remember you // by Shadow of doubt //------------------------------// --I remember you-- The Villainous Prison Twilight was tired, nay exhausted. She had planned to figure a way by boring the Ice King to sleep by moving the conversation onto 'egghead' stuff as rainbow dash would say. Unfortunately, the Ice King just keeps nodding to her lecture, she even quizzed him on what she said and he repeated it exactly. Needless to say, though her mouth was dry and her eyes drooping as she recounted the events of what she went through with pinky pie and her 'pinky' sense. "Wow, you are really deep Twi Twi, wish I had a memory as good as you do. Then I would be able to have better food around, when I go and get food out of those metal food boxes outside of the ponies homes in the tall gray box place, I forget what I went there for," The Ice King recited. As he changed his position from sitting to laying down on his back with his head still facing the less prone form of twilight, who, luckily, convinced the Ice King to lessen her restraints with the argument of being able to tell stories better when she isn't frozen in a block of ice. After he melted the ice around her body excluding the ice on her horn, claiming that his crown said it would be a bad idea. Since she didn't want to press her luck with her captor she didn't say anything about it, even though it was giving her a headache she would easily be able to break the ice off when he wasn't looking then escape. "So Twi Twi, I'm going to go and get some more refreshments I have the-" Twilight cut the Ice King off before he continued into his usual rants. "Please stop calling me that, but Ice King?" she asked in a tired tone, "what, what is it CAN'T you see I'M BUSY WITH MY NEW FRIEND!" he shouted. "Sorry," Twilight quickly cut in, her ears dropping a small amount as her exhaustion caught up with her. "Oh not you Twi Twi, Gunter he's always nagging me, what did you want?" interjected the Ice King whilst he was pointing to empty air. "I'm really tired, I need to sleep, Is that alright? I can keep telling you stories tomorrow," Twilight offered, ignoring the quirk of the Ice King talking to this 'Gunter' as he occasionally mentioned him whilst she gained his trust. She yawned before continuing, "It's not like I'm going anywhere, I'll still be here. Maybe I can show you my place sometime," Twilight bargained, allowing a small smile to grace her face as she stretched her sore wings and back. "W- Well I suppose, I need to rest my Wizard eyes anyway, Wait I know just what to do, while you sleep I shall be in the Writing Room if you need me... okay bye," the Ice King left dramatically flying into one of the many stairways before his blue glow of magic disappeared. Twilight did not even bother to mention that she wouldn't be able to get out of the prison to find him if it did its job. "I know I should use this time to get out, my friends are probably worried sick, but I think a small nap should be alright then I can get out of here," Twilight mumbled to herself as she paced in her cell, her tired mind going over the information she had collected from her captor. Groaning Twilight slumped into a small bed of hay near a dog bowl filled with candy (The Ice King said that he didn't know what ponies ate so he used candy, as in his words 'Anything can eat candy'), slowly but surely Twilights mind slowed down until she went into a dreamless sleep, before she entered sleep loving embraced she realised she could let Luna know that she was alright and about to escape. ♛ Earlier with Spike "Come on, Come on," Spike muttered, pacing much like Twilight. As spike paced, Rarity was packing bags for the journey she planned to go on to save Twilight. He looked towards his friend's, Pinkie pie was strangely quite yet still bouncing just this time it made no noise, not even when she hit the ground, Fluttershy seemed to be meditating, he had noticed that she had become friends with Zecora and started meditating to ease her fears. Rainbow Dash was in the air kicking the clouds like no tomorrow as she said quite passionately that she needed practice kicking butt before she kicked the magic out of Twilights Ponynapper, Applejack had tried to ease Spikes nerves but to no success, as he sent the letter to Celestia in the morning, yet still there was no reply even now at sundown. "Don't worry Spike we will get her back, she is probably kicking them Diamond Dogs around like playthings," Rainbow Dash boosted, as she landed on the gravel path next to spike wrapping a wing around him, even though she herself was quite worried, she trusted Twilight's ability to defend herself. Spike suddenly breaths fire in a slow controlled manner, unlike his normal belch, after Rarity said to him that it was ungentle-colt like he began to try and control the urge better and as a result, he now is able to slowly breathe fire out as it creates the scroll in a slower but more controlled way. The eyes of all the friends quickly turn to spike as he unrolls the scroll, he clears his through before reading aloud. "Dear Spike. This is most distressing. Sorry about the late reply, I was in morning court and I was unable to read the letter as lord Money Pouch was insistent that I double check his proposal even after I initially declined. I know not of the being you described but I shall send some of my personal Solar Guard to arrange a search and find party, we know not of what the as you put it 'Flying bearded weirdo diamond dog king' wants with Princess Twilight, but rest assured, we will find her and punish the perpetrator accordingly. Luna said that she will help search for her in the Dream realm tonight. You should get some rest," Spike read with ease it was, in fact, it was the most well-written letter he had ever laid eyes upon "Well, at least we can help the search party, I know your worried spike but you seem even more shaken up about that letter dear?" Rarity asked as she left her bag on a small ground blanket as to not get them dirty. "Well, I know Princess Celestia quite well and when she writes a letter the angrier she is the better her writing becomes, this letter it is the only letter I have ever seen to have absolutely no flaws each and every letter is absolutely perfect and even though she worded the letter as if she were calm, I can tell she is more angry about this than anything I have ever scene," Spike gulped, he didn't want to think about being on the wrong end of that anger he just looked back at the letter before he turned to look at the rest of his friends. "We should wait for the search party, the princess didn't specifically say we shouldn't search but she implied it with her search party and her wording, we should wait until morning then we can ask if we can help with the search," Spike stated, there wasn't much they could really do at the moment but upon spikes reasoning and stubbornness they eventually decided to follow his advice, with their own responses of course Rainbow Dash was the least pleased with this course of action but with the extra time to train she yielded and returned home. Spike sighed as he left the market area, Twilight was on his mind constantly, was she was okay, is she hurt the normal things to be thinking about this situation. In the end, he couldn't do anything he and he Isn't alright with this, Twilight had raised him since he hatched and he can't even protect her from stupid beard flying canines. "Maybe I can get Zecora to train me to protect Twilight, I just hope she is okay out there," Spike mumbled too annoyed at his inept ability to do anything to realize the habit he had picked up from Twilight. ♔♛♔
