A Spoon for a Princess

The Adventure Begins

Silver Spoon couldn't get over how adorable Flurry Heart was. She was also surprised at how well behaved the little foal was. She hadn't cried when her aunt had left, instead she had just stared at Silver with those big opal eyes of hers.

"So would you like to play a game?" Silver Spoon asked. Flurry nodded in response and used her magic to levitate two teddy bear over. She grabbed one.

"Grrrr!" Flurry Heart growled.

"Oh no a big scary bear has escaped from the Everfree Forest!" Silver said laughing and proceeded to trot around the castle library as Flurry Heart chased her growling.

After a while Silver Spoon heard another type of growl.

"Uh oh, is somepony hungry?" she asked. Flurry nodded, "what would you like, applesauce or smashed peas?" Flurry pointed at the smashed peas.

Silver Spoon opened a jar of smashed peas and put a little on a foal sized spoon and tasted them herself, she thought they tasted bland and made a face. Then she took another small spoon full and moved it toward Flurry Heart.

"The Wonderbolts are coming in to land vroom, pew, pew," she said as she moved the spoon around to get the young foal to open her mouth, when she did Silver Spoon quickly put the spoon of peas in her mouth. The next spoon full wasn't so easy as Flurry Heart used her magic to fling peas across the room.

After Flurry Heart had finally finished eating her peas, most of which ended up decorating the map room, Flurry let out a big yawn.

"Some pony needs a nap" Silver Spoon said, and carried her to a crib that Twilight had set up for Flurry Heart.
"Would you like me to read you a bedtime story?" Silver Spoon asked. Again Flurry Heart nodded. Silver Spoon went into the Library and could feel the little princess watching her as she left the room, she came back take a minute later holding a thin story book.

"This one is perfect, you will love it," Silver Spoon said, "it's titled 'The Princess and the Pea'." Flurry cocked her head to the side when she heard the title. By the time Silver Spoon had completed the story Flurry Heart was sound asleep. Silver Spoon took one look around the map room and thought to herself, Now to clean up this mess!

Cleaning up the toys scattered around didn't take long. However cleaning up the smashed peas, which had begun to dry, took longer then Silver Spoon expected. She looked around the Map Room, everything sparkled like it should and Silver Spoon hoped that this would convince both Princess Cadence and Princess Twilight to let her watch Flurry Heart more often. Then she noticed that Flurry Heart's Crib was empty! The young princess was missing!
