"Come on!" Flurry said, jumping in excitement "We're late, we're late!" Cadence smiled at her daughter as the two made their way off the train.
"Don't worry, Twilight has more than enough patients to wait a few extra minutes." Cadence said as the got off
"Flurry!" Twilight cheered, being greeted with a hug.
"Auntie Twilight!" Flurry said in greeting, as soon as she let go Flurry began scanning the surrounding area
"If you...oh who am I kidding...since you are looking for Spike I'll have to be the bearer of bad new's and inform you he's busy."
"What!" Flurry demanded "Doing what!?"
"Well...he may not know your here..." Twilight giggled "He's hard to talk to when he and Pumpkin are up to their shenanigans."
"Ah yes...He told me about her." Flurry scoffed "But I'm still his favorite right?" She asked
"I think you're his only niece honey," Cadence said
"No, I mean I'm still his favorite little girl right?" She asked Twilight and Cadence both looked at each other, trying very hard not to laugh at that
"No idea" Twilight answered with a shaking voice "I've Never asked him about his preference in..." Twilight snorted and Cadence cut in
"Why Don't you go find him, honey? I know you already know where he is."
"At the Castel" Flurry confirmed blasting off
"Oh, my Celestia" Twilight laughed once she was out of earshot "That sounded so wrong!"
"I know!" Cadence snorted "I know!"
"See you later Cadence," Twilight said with a giggle and a wave before following Flurry.
"Are you sure this is the right mixture Pumpkin?" Spike asked. The two were standing next to a potion set, Pumpkin was reading through a book and directing Spike.
"Positive!" she said with a nod as Spike added the last ingredient, a cup full of flowers
"I'm just thinking it should have said Flour."
"It does!" as the potion bubbled Pumpkin added "They just spelled it wrong" Spike looked over at the book and read it out loud
"Add a bowl of Flour, warning do not add actual flowers as it will result in..." two stood in silence
"Oh no..." They said in unison as the potion bottles began violently shacking
"HIT THE DECK!" Spike yelled just before the boom
Twilight and Flurry landed just in time to see the window's in the library become covered in the color blue. the two stood in silence when Spike and Pumpkin walked out the front door, walking in swirls before Spike fell down the stairs and landed with a flop
"You did that on purpose!" Spike said to the dirt
"I might have!" Pumpkin said laying at the top of the stairs "I still fooled you tho!"
"Flour is spelled wrong." Spike muttered "You live in a bakery, Can't believe I fell for that one" Spike ear's twitched "I feel a disturbance...like Flurry's heart is about to glomp me." Pumpkin was levitated next to him and they were both cleaned by Twilight.
"We have a guest, now if you don't mind I have a Library to clean."
"Spike!" Flurry cheered tackling him
"I knew it!" Spike declared with a laugh as she squeezed him till he was red "Air!" he added Flurry let go of him and turned to Pumpkin, who was looking at her with hostility in her eyes. hostility that Flurry was happy to return
"So you muse be Pumpkin/Flurry," The said in unison "Spike's told me all about you." Spike smiled
"I have indeed," he said merrily, not noticing the literal spark's flying between the two. "Flurry this is my dear Friend Pumpkin, Pumpkin this is my dear Niece Flurry."
"ha." Pumpkin whispered as Flurry turned
"But where friends to right Spike?" Flurry asked
"Of course we are!" Spike said happily "Where Family after all" The two filly's looked at each other
"Friendship is a bond that is earned with hard work" Pumpkin muttered quietly
"Family is a bond of blood that lasts forever, even threw a fight!" Flurry responded quietly, the two starting daggers at each other
"I...feel like I'm missing something?" Spike muttered in confusion, instantly the two turned to him with a smile
"Oh it's nothing Spike," Pumpkin said happily
"We're just wondering how to split our time with you? I was thinking I should spend more time since I don't Live here."
"I can see how it's fair since I see you way more often than her, but we had plans for this week, you're not just gonna throw me to the side are you?" Pumpkin Responded, making to emphasize that she saw Spike way more than Flurry.
"of course not," Spike said turning to look up at the Castel "We can keep out plans..." Flurry's face melted in horror and Pumpkin's in overwhelming joy "...and Flurry can join us!" Pumpkin joined Flurry in horror the two instantly putting back on a happy face when Spike turned to them "Why don't you two wait out here while I go apologize to Twilight for the umpteenth time." as Spike ran up the stairs the two turned on each other
"Listen you..." Pumpkin growled
"No, You Listen, Spike is MY Uncle!"
"Spike is My First and Bestest Friend!"
"I've known him my whole life!"
"I've known of his my whole life!" the two pointed at themselves and said angrily
"I'm his 2nd favorite pony!" The two froze
"Wait if you know your not his favorite..." Pumpkin said
"And you know your not his favorite either..."Flurry agreed
"Then that means we both know that Spike..." Flurry added
"Totaly has the Hot's for Pinkie!" Pumpkin said with a nod
"And that means if we want to decide once and for all who is Number 2..." Flurry reasoned
"We'd have to see who knows Spike the best..." Pumpkin added
"...So well that we could convince him to open up to her!" They added in unison
"So it's decided then?" Pumpkin asked extending the hoof of Rivalry
"It is." Flurry declared excepting it
"First on to get Spike and Pinkie Pie together is the Winner!" They said sealing the Rivalry with a shake
"May the best pony win!" They said in unison "AND I PLAN TO!"
