//------------------------------// // 3 Harmony // Story: Hard Landing // by Flash_Game //------------------------------// Chapter 3 Harmony The next morning I’ve never had this good of a rest, I thought last night was going to be a pain, but she just introduced me to spike and my room, which was the spare in her huge apartment, I mean like it has three bathrooms, THREE, and it’s just her and Spike. Now me too I guess, since she lives here, that means I’m here before the pilot episode. Anyways, Spike, how to describe him... he’s the same size as the show, maybe a bit taller, but skinnier and a more 'human' body, purple scales with green fins, which are also kind of like scales, that go from the top of his head to almost the tip of his tail. He’s usually wearing a purple t-shirt with green chinos, who would have thought they’d have chinos here? “A weird day yesterday was,” I chuckle, Well said Yoda Jr., I stretch and finally look at what I have, my clothes are the same, but my pockets are empty... I have a pip-boy, why do I have a pip-boy? And how the hell didn't I notice before?! the ethereal voice repeated it self in my head, then I look back at the back of my hand, the game controller. I'll have to her about cutie marks soon. I doubt that's what it is, but... At this point Twilight walks in and I take a quick glance at her hands. I knew it, no mark on her hands, so not a cutie mark, “Good morning, I thought I was going to have to wake you, I guess that wasn’t needed” “Good morning to you too, by the way, that’s a really nice bed” “Thanks, it was a gift from Celestia when I moved in” And yet she decided not to use it, I’m not even going to question that, “Anyways, what’s the plan for today boss” I’m going to play a little with her. “Twilight’s just fine” “Ok, no problem Twilight boss,” Don’t laugh, I held back a smirk “Just Twilight, please,” She is visibly uncomfortable, I’m gonna go one step further, just because. “Got it, Just Twilight boss sir,” I begin to chuckle, Darn I lost it, I start to laugh She relaxes “Ha Ha, very funny. Anyway I’m going to the park for a bit, and if you don’t mind, could you help Spike clean the library?” I notice the book the brown book from the opening on her hands, So I arrived right around the first episode... "Yeah, no problem" “And when I come back I want to ask you about that,” she points at my pip-boy “Sure, although, I don’t know how I got it exactly or how it works... yet,” I smirk at the end to which she give me a soft smile “See you later” “Later” and with that she’s out- “Right, there’s breakfast on the table, bye” now she’s out for real, I think I walk out of my room into the kitchen. On the table are two plates with pancakes, And they smell delicious, one are normal pancakes, going to guess that’s mine, and the other seem to be ruby pancakes. I spot a tired spike walk in, “Sup dude?” Why am I suddenly so outgoing, weird “Good *yawn* morning, Luis,” he sits down takes a forkful of pancakes into his mouth and glances around “Where’s Twilight?” “She went to the park to read a book. Oh, and by the way, she wants us to clean the library” Maybe he’ll mention Moondancer’s birthday party “Hopefully she doesn’t take too long, it’s Moondancers’s party today,” he takes another mouthful, “anth,” he swallows it, “Sorry. And I already have a gift for her, it’s a teddy bear and a picture with Twilight and their friends” “Do you think I’ll get to meet her?” I know I won’t yet, “Do you think she’ll like me?” “You’ll probably meet her when they have one of their study sessions, then we’ll see if you get along” And with that I’m done my breakfast, “I’ll get started on the top floor now, bon appetit” “Bon appe-what?” “Bon appetit, it means ‘have a good meal,’ join me when you’re done,” I walk out the kitchen up towards the library, which was a mess, books all over the floor. I decided to organize the books in alphabetical order in the style libraries have it, ignoring The’s, A’s and so on. When Spike joined me I told him how to do it. Why so many books on the floor, and most of them were of biology and creatures, mythical and known, “So Spike, know why so many books were thrown around?” “Well... hehe... she stayed up last night trying to figure YOU out,” why didn’t I think of that, I mean, SHE'S TWILIGHT, the biggest egghead this world has seen after Starswirl, then Spike looks at the clock, “It’s getting late, I better get ready,” he starts to walk away I look at the clock, it reads about 11:35 in the morning, “Get ready for what?” “Moondancer’s party,” then he runs out to his room, Should I tell him not to stay too close to the door? I walk down the stairs He comes back with the gift in his claws, “Tell Twilight I’ll wait for her at the party” As Spike reaches the door it slams open, hitting him square in the face. This somehow makes him fall tail first into the wrapped present, piercing it “Spike? SPIIIIIKE?!” Twilight notices Spike on the floor “Spike??” Spike the sits up a bit dazed from the hit he just took, “There you are,” she then runs, Trots? I mean she’s a pony, up towards the library with Spike behind her, and I follow them, “Quick find me that copy of ‘predictions and prophecies’,” She turns to spike as I reach the top of the stairs and sees the present Attached to Spike’s tail, “What’s that for?” Then she turns to me, “Hi, Luis” “Hi...” I am a bit shocked to say the least, I knew it was going to happen, but being present is a whole different experience “Well, it WAS a gift for Moondancer but...” as Spike takes the gift of his tail, the teddy bear falls out of the tear on the box. “Oh Spike, you know we don’t have time for that sort of thing” “But we’re on a break!!” Twilight seems to ignore him, Poor guy “Actually Twilight, it’s a good thing to hang out with friends. And I learned that the hard way,” Twilight seems to have tuned both of us out, Great, just like home... now she’s using her magic to levitate all kinds of books up to her face, I have to say, seeing magic at work first hand is kind of impressive “No. No, no No NO!” She’s definitely frustrated by the sound of that grunt, “Spike!” “It’s over here,” Spike says from... Where did he go? *splat* Right, in the show he went to the top of a ladder and then Twilight pulled the book along with Spike, so now Spike’s face is on the floor with his arm still holding the levitated book Twilight then looks at the title of it, “Ah,” then she walks towards a book stand as I approach Spike and help him up “You okay?” Spike’s face seems to have suffered no damage that’s good “I guess,” he then looks around at the books Twilight dropped and sighs “Let’s clean up, AGAIN!” I direct my view at Twilight who seems to be in her own little world. I look back to see spike climbing a ladder to my left “... see Mare in the Moon??” Twilight question her self, probably doubting whatever she just read “Mare in the Moon? But that’s just an old pony's tale” I look to the second level to see Twilight looking through the book again “Mare, Mare. Aha!” Guess she found the story, I just tune her out as she reads. As I finish replacing the books, I look back to see Spike burning the letter to the Princess “There, it’s on it’s way,” Should I butt in now? “But I wouldn’t hold your breath,” he definitely used a mocking tone “Oh I’m not worried, Spike,” Right I have to act like I don’t know what is happening, “The Princess trusts me completely. In all the years she’s been my mentor, She’s never once doubted me,” she seems too proud for that, I’ll butt in when the letter comes back Just like that, Spike burps our a scroll “See? I knew she would want to take immediate action,” now I butt in “Excuse me, but how did Spike do that?” Nailed the confused voice, Yeah! “Oh that’s just a spell that Princess Celestia taught Spike to communicate with her, I also know it...” she looks down a bit embarrassed “... but it’s a bit harder to do without dragon fire” “You could’ve just said ‘magic’ and I would’ve been happy, it apparently explains everything here,” Smooth... I think Spike clears his throat, “Are you too done?” To which we both nod, “Okay *clears throat* ‘ My dearest, most faithful student, Twilight, You know a value your diligence and that I trust you completely, but you simply must stop reading those dusty old books. As you know the summer sun celebration is fast approaching, and I will need you to go to Ponyville, this year’s location for the festivities. Get yourself ready as the carriage will arrive at your home late in the morning. Your attentive mentor, Princess Celestia PS Send Luis to the throne room first thing tomorrow as I must speak with him. Do not worry the carriage will pass for him after leaving with you and Spike. I wonder what she wants with you,” Spike looks at me a bit confused, Did she find me out, I thought I played my cards right. Is she going to-no, no way she wouldn’t... right? I mean-, Twilight interrupts my thinking “Luis, are you ok? You seem a bit worried” “I’m fine, it’s just...” think of something, “... I wasn’t expecting it,” I give a nervous chuckle, This can’t be good. "No sense in making her wait,” I notice he charging up her horn, What is she doi- OH NO!! “NO, WAIT WA-“
