//------------------------------// // Getting ready // Story: On the road to Saddle Aribia // by Strictheadmare //------------------------------// One beautiful Saturday morning in Twilight's castle. Starlight Glimmer was fast asleep in her bed when her alarm clock went off really loud. Starlight woke up and check her alarm clock. "Oh no it’s 6am already! Twilight and I have to meet Trixie at her wagon at 4pm. I better get packing." Starlight said as she used her magic to open her drawer and levitated her clothes into her suitcase once all her clothes and stuff were in her suitcase she use her magic to close it. "Well now that that's done time for breakfast." Starlight said as she levitated her suitcase downstairs into the living room. Then she walked right into the kitchen and was surprise to find Twilight already in the kitchen table sitting down with her cup of coffee and a stack of pancakes on the other side of the table there was also a cup of coffee and a stack of pancakes for Starlight. "Morning Starlight!" Twilight greeted "Morning Twilight!" she greeted back. Then Starlight sat down at the table with Twilight and levitated her fork and took a bite out of the pancakes. "Yumm, these are the best pancakes I've ever tasted in my life. When did did you learn to make pancakes that taste so good Twilight?" Starlight ask. Twilight made a mischievous face and said. "Well, I may have been staking Spike and his cookbook and the way he makes his pancakes and I may have also added a few other ingredients in the pancakes." "Devious Twilight." Starlight said as she took another big bite of the pancakes. "I bet your pancakes are the best in all of Equestria Twilight." Twilight grinned and said while laughing. "Oh I’m sure Spike's pancakes are much better than mine Starlight." After they finish their breakfast They levitated their plates into the sink. "We’ve still got some time till we have to meet Trixie. What do you say we go down to the castle library and studied some new spells Twilight." Starlight said. "That’s a great idea Starlight! We can learn new spells and read books." Twilight said. Then they trotted down the hall to the library and into the castle library. Starlight uses her magic to open the castle library door. And then they start searching for new books into the library. "How about this one Twilight?" Starlight asked but Twilight said nothing back. Starlight turned around and saw that Twilight was reorganizing her shelves of books in alphabetical order. "Oh why am I not surprised." Starlight said giggling. "I can’t imagine why you would be." Twilight said. "I love love love to reorganize my books it’s one of my favorite things to do in the entire world with the exception of hanging out with my friends." "I know it is but, don’t you think these books are organized enough?" Starlight asked. "Of course not Starlight. These books are far from being perfectly organized and I will not stop till every book is properly in the right spot." Twilight said. "Oh boy. It’s gonna be a long day." Starlight said annoyed. *** "7 hours later done finally." Starlight said relieved and then asked. "I thought we were never gonna be done organizing these books?" "Well they don’t call me bookworm for nothing." Twilight said with a smile as she left to go eat some lunch. "You better hurry Twilight!" Starlight said. "We're suppose to meet Trixie by her wagon in a half an hour. So that she can take us with her to Saddle Arabia." "Relax Starlight." Twilight said. "I'll be done in no time." "You say that for everything Twilight and yet you still take forever with everything you do." Starlight said "I just don’t know when to believe you anymore Twilight." "Trust me Starlight, I’ll be back in no time." Twilight said as she left. 25 minutes later Were suppose to be at Trixie's Wagon in 5 minutes and just like I predicted, Twilight isn’t ready. I better go check on her. Starlight thought as she went to the dining room. But when she got there, Twilight wasn’t there. "Twilight! Hello? You there?" Starlight called. Twilight didn’t answer. "Where could she be?" Starlight wondered. As she left the dining room and then went to Twilight's room. Inside there stood Twilight, with her suit case packed and everything "Wow Twilight Sparkle, I’m impressed." Starlight said very impressed. "Told you I’d be ready on time Starlight." Twilight said then asked. "Where’s your stuff? "I already put them all downstairs by the castle door." Starlight said. "Now come on we don’t wanna be late." Starlight and Twilight walked down to the castle doors. "The only way we’ll make it is if we teleport there." Starlight said. "Well that’s no problem for both of us." Twilight said "We’re both really good at magic especially teleportation." "Yep." Starlight said as she teleported both her and Twilight to Trixie's wagon. "And we’re here and with 10 seconds to spare." Starlight and Twilight knock on Trixie's wagon door. "Trixie! It’s Starlight and Twilight!" They both called. "We’re here and ready to go with you to see you perform in Saddle Arabia." Starlight said. "Oh my gosh. Is that Starlight and Twilight?" Trixie said as she looked out the window, and oh my gosh it is. "Starlight. Twilight. I’m so happy you guys are here. And I’m so happy you guys could come with me to Saddle Arabia to see me perform." "Wouldn’t miss it for all eternity." Starlight said "Right Twilight?" "Of course we may not had the best introduction with each other but ever since you and Starlight became friends. We’ve really grown as friends and I’m proud to go to saddle Arabia with you and Starlight." Twilight said. "Yep that is true." Trixie said. "Come on we don’t wanna be late." As Trixie grabs her suitcase and bags and headed out the door. "Allow me." Twilight said as she uses her magic to levitate Trixie's bags into the wagon carrier. "Thank you so much Princess Twilight." Trixie said. "Anything for a friend of Starlight's." Twilight said. "Now before we go would you two like some snacks or beverages?" Trixie asked. "Yes, please Trixie." Twilight and Starlight said. As Trixie passes out the snacks and lemonade. "Alright buckle up everypony." Trixie said "Cause here we go on the road to friendship."
