//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Twilight’s first Heart’s Warming Eve // by Miyukana //------------------------------// Spike ran inside the library to see if Twilight is still working with her research.He looked around but Twiligt was not there.He walked down towards Twilight’s laboratory as he heard something coming from there.He turned the knob on the door to see Twilight is still doing her science. “Oh you’re back Spike.How’s your help with Rarity” she asked not looking at him. “I’m going to Canterlot”he said.Twilight’s eyes widen so she turned around to looked at him. “And why exactly you need to come in Canterlot?” she raised an eyebrow at him suspiciously. “Princess Celestia need me for some help” he pulled out a fake scroll that proved that Princess Celestia send it to him.Rarity made the idea to help Spike.’Please work’ he muttered to himself. Dear Spike, I’m sorry if this is a little sudden,but I really need you to help me with something at the royal archives. Your ruler ~Princess Celestia “To the royal archives? I thought when she needed someone to help her there it supposed to be me.” Twilight read the letter again, she thought that maybe she left a word from it. “Maybe this time is different, after all you’re still busy with your research” he said. “ Of course I’m busy Spike.I’m going upstairs only if I’m going to eat and take a bath.I’m going to do this research until the end of the Heart’s Warming Eve” she turned back and start continuing her work. Spike went outside the lab and start jumping around”It work,YES” he said.He heard Twilight screamed from the lab “TAKE CARE SPIKE” he heard Twilight screamed in pain after. He went outside to meet the girls but he looked shocked that his friends are right there waiting for him. “Did it work dear Spike?” Rarity’s asked hopefully. “Yes it work” he said happily. “What are we waiting for? We don’t need to stand here and let the things do on it’s own.The clock is ticking and we only have two days to finish it” Rainbow said speeding off to the sky followed by Fluttershy to get some big tree. Applejack and Pinkie joined each other to buy some ingredients for their dishes. Rarity joined Spike to the Canterlot.She decided to buy decoration in there to make it more ‘fabulous’ as she thought.They bought two tickets for the coming train to Canterlot. “All aboard,the train is going to depart in five minutes.” the conductor called.Rairty and Spike’s ears perked up.When they heard that they only have five minutes they throw the bits to the seller and run inside the train.Once they were inside the train they sat at the near chair and sit on it. “That was close” Spike pant.”Now we need to get there and tell Twilight’s parents about our surprise to Twilight” he said. ****** “Alright Pinkie Pie,I’m ready to buy my ingredients for my recipe how about ya?" Applejack asked.She closed the door in the barn and look at Pinkie.She was surprised when she saw how long Pinkie's list is."Are ya sure ya need that much of food for the ponies here?" Pinkie nodded. "Of course Applejack, You know how the ponies here love my desserts and your apples." Pinkie galloped towards Ponyville followed by Applejack on the back. ****** Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are in the highest mountain near Crystal Empire."a-are you s-sure t-that we n-need the big t-tree up h-here?" She shivered in cold. "Of course I'm sure Fluttershy, just wait here for a sec and then we could head back to Ponyville"Fluttershy nodded. They search for a minute when Rainbow spotted a Evergreen fir Tree.They flew down towards it and start shaking the tree.Rainbow groaned "Oh buck you tree" she launched herself towards it.She mumbled the pain so that Fluttershy won't worry about her.She looked back.She smiled when the tree cut itself."hey Fluttershy could you help me over here" she called underneath the tree.She felt the tree became lighter when Fluttershy flew towards the end of tree and start carrying it. "Okay on the count of three were going to fly straight towards Ponyville." Fluttershy grunted in pain and nodded."one...two...three.... GO" They flew slowly towards Ponyville slowly trying to prevent it from falling. ****** Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong Spike clicked the door bell at the gate of Twillight's old house.Rarity looked at him. "Spike are you sure that this is Twilight's old house? Because if this is it, I'm going to ask her back home, why she decided to come in Ponyville if she had this gorgeous and massive house, not that I want her leave of course." she said.She never thought Twilight to moved out if she had this kind of house. "Twilight lives here when she was a filly.She moved in the castle when she passed the test from the Princess so her parents decided to—" Spike stopped when he heard somepony called out in the house.He saw Twilight's mother opened the gate for them. "I didn't know you were coming here.Is Twilight with you?" Twilight Velvet asked.Rarity and Spike looked at each other.Spike coughed. "That's the reason why we come here" Spike smiled at her nervously. "Well I think this is really important, why don't we talk about this inside the house" Twilight Velvet said as she walked towards the house followed by them. When they entered the house, Spike heard Rarity squealed in excitement.Their house was colored in white with gold outline.Rarity saw three shelves filled with Twilight's trophy.She gasped when she read that Twilight never experienced to be second place."Rarity I know the look in your face when you saw how many achievement Twilight had.When I first saw that, I almost faint." he laughed when he remember Twilight's face when he pranked her.They sat at one of the sofas in their living room. "Even the sofas looked expensive" she said in amazed. "Well we bought that when me and my husband travel to Saddle Arabia..”she answered “.....well Spike my dear what is it you want to talk about that you need to have a trip to Canterlot?" Twilight Velvet asked. "Remember every Heart's Warming Eve you two are busy because of your clients? Well Twilight's friends and ! want to surprised her this Heart's Warming Eve.Rarity here decided if you two could come along.They were worried about her when Twilight told them that Heart's Warming Eve is not important.She said that ponies just waste their time and money.I think she said about that since you two are doing the same as her.You two are too focused on your clients that you barely spend much time to your daughter.While for Twilight, she coped herself with her studies that she barely manage her time to spend time with us" he said as if Twilight's parents needed to be there for her.Twilight Velvet sighed.She called her husband from the upstairs.They waited for a minute when they saw Night light walked towards Twilight Velvet and sit beside her. "Oh hey There Spike.You looked bigger than the last time I saw you" He greeted."So what do you folks need from me?" he asked.Twilight Velvet told him about how Twilight is behaving in Ponyville.He told them to wait and they obeyed.When he finished talking to his clients he went back. "They told me that we could use a break so we could come with you in Ponyville.And to see my daughter for the first time again.” Rarity and Spike jumped in delight. "We need to go now.We have to help the others prepare for the Heart's Warming Eve" Rarity said.They waited for Twilight's parents to prepare there belongings. "Okay we're ready now so let's go" Twilight Velvet said.They walked outside and pay for their tickets.They heard the train whistled for the last call as they entered inside the train and went towards Ponyville. "I hope Twilight will be glad to see us" Twilight Velvet told to her husband. "I'm sure your daughter will love to see you. I saw the looked on her face that she was trying to be happy when she heard your name but she isn't." Rarity reassured them and they nodded to her. "Wait for us Twily, we're coming for you" Night Light whispered as he looked outside the window.
