It was a brand new day, as a young boy with green spiky hair laid asleep in his bed, accompanying him was his purple blanket which was covering his body. In his sleep, the young boy shifted to his side facing away from the opposing window.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a noise rang into the young boy's ears causing him to groan and pull the blanket fully over his head.
After a few minutes of constant noise, it was stopped. Spike slowly lifted the blanket, only to chuckle nervously at the sight of his older sister looking down at him with a small frown. She didn't look exactly happy, though she wasn't mad only mildly annoyed.
"You have an alarm for a reason, Spike. To get you up on time..." Twilight took a breath. She closed her hand into a fist, pulling it close to her chest. With a exhale she extended the fist feeling slightly relaxed. "Just get ready and I'll see you at breakfast."
Twilight then left the room closing the door behind her to give her brother privacy to change. Spike took off his pyjamas, making sure to neatly fold them and putting them away before getting dressed. He put on a green top, following it was a purple jacket.
After making sure he was ready, he opened the door. Once in the hallway, he closed it behind him and started his trek to the breakfast table. There wasn't much in the hall, only red paint covering the wall with a few pictures hanging from them. "Good times," Spike thought as he walked past.
In the first picture, both of the sibling's heads covered with a book in their faces. Spike chuckled, recalling the fond memories. Down the hall near the stairs, was a picture the young boy held close to his heart. It showed his four-year-old self hugging an eight-year-old Twilight. The smile on both siblings faces expressed how precious the moment was. Finally, Spike was at the top of the stairs.
After reaching the bottom of the stairs the young boy entered the kitchen, where his family waited for him at the table, a pile of pancakes on five plates that was already set on the table. Slowly, Spike approached the table before sitting down and picking up his fork and chowing down.
"So, ready for middle school kiddo?" Night Light asked his son. He wore a grey suit with a red tie.
Spike sighed, as he took in a deep breath before speaking, "No..." Spike pause looking at his older sister. "Twi... I know how much you wanted me ready. That's why we spent all summer studying... Only to tell you I'm not ready..."
Twilight looked at her younger brother, not with an expression of anger, annoyance or disappointment but one of concern. She stood up and walked behind the chair which Spike sat on. His plate was back on the table. "You didn't disappoint me," the older girl said wrapping her arms around the chair, she then pulled the young boy into a tender embrace.
After Twilight returned to her seat, her mother Twilight Velvet spoke up, "Spike, it's going to be fine." That was all that was said. The family now was eating in silence.
After breakfast was finished, Night Light already left for work, while Shining Armour already left for college. Twilight Velvet was doing the dishes, while Spike and Twilight sat in the living room. The younger boy sat on Twilight's lap, laying his head on her chest. Twilight had her arms wrapped around him in an embrace.
Twilight sighed with a bright smile. "No matter what happens, just know you can come to me. I'm here for you, okay?
"Alright..."
After a few minutes, Twilight unwrapped her arms around the boy. Spike looked at her with confusion. "It's time to go, Spike. Do you want me to walk with you?"
"No thanks, I'll go by myself. Plus... I don't want to keep you away from your friends..."
The young boy grasped his bag, strapping it to his shoulders. Twilight walked until she was a few meters close to the young boy, then she hugged him tightly. "I love you, Spike. We all do."
"I love you too, Twi." Finally, the two siblings let go and left the living room.
Once outside, both siblings saw Twilight Velvet looking at them with a smile. "You have a good day, Spike. Make me proud." Twilight Velvet placed a kiss on her son's forehead. "You too, young lady." She placed a small kiss on Twilight's forehead.
"Mum!!" The older girl cried out in embarrassment, with a small blush forming on her cheeks.
After bidding farewell to their mother, both siblings stepped outside the door. Twilight looked at her brother with concern, her mind to busy calculating all the ways of letting the young boy travel alone would go badly.
Spike rolled his eyes, expecting such behaviour of his older sister. He knew how much she loved him, it warmed his heart knowing he's got the best sister ever. "Twilight, don't worry about me I'll be fine, promise," Spike said giving his sister a reassuring smile.
"I know it's just..." Twilight took a deep breath, then releasing it. "I don't want anything to happen to you... I-I don't know what I would do if anything happens to you..."
Spike pulled her into a tight embrace. He wrapped his arms around her. Twilight returned the favour wrapping her arms around him. A smile formed on her face, as she removed her glasses to wipe the tears that were forming in her eyes. After wiping away the tears, she once again put the glasses back on and let go of the young boy.
The two siblings parted ways at least five minutes ago. Spike went one way while Twilight went the other. At the moment Spike was crossing the road with the other pedestrians, some of which had bags and seemed to be the same hight or a little taller or smaller. Once making it across, the young boy was walking through the town. "Look out!!!!!"
