Spinel stood in place as she began dripping with sweat. Flurry got to her hooves and marched over to Spinel, an excited look in her eyes as she made her way to the Gem, Spinel took a step back and squeaked again as Flurry got closer, Spinel took another squeaky step back and Flurry squealed with joy at the noise and lit her horn, Spinel quickly pulled out the Rejuvenator, using it to disrupt Flurries Spell before jumping over the baby with a spin, Flurry watched in awe as Spinel turned into a glowing wheel before running to the door and kicking it open before booking it. Flurry babbled with joy and gave chase.
Spinel was gasping as she slid to a stop looking at the open door before sighing with relief.
"I'll just watch her from here," She decided when a shadow shone through the door way and Flurry emerged giggling with glee and she flew into the hall and after Spinel. Spinel Spun around and ran as fast as she could away from Flurry and ended up running up a fight of stairs ran down the hall a little ways before twisting mid run a slid a little on the floor before jumping into a semi open door, inside she found it to be mostly empty save a bed and a side table, Spinel heard giggling and jumped in place, sending a squeak through the room and into the hall, Spinel fumbled the Rejuvenator in her hands for a moment, narrowly missing hitting herself with it before turning it off and stuffing it back into her gem, as soon as it was gone she jumped on the bed and making herself 2 dimensional and slinked under it's one blanket. 
Spinel lay in silence for no more than a second before the door opened and she head Flurry's happy sound as she searched for her new toy, Flurry landed on the floor and proudly made her way into the room, she checked under the bed first before taking flight and landing on the bed with a soft thud in between Spinels legs Flurry light her horn and pulled down the cover, Spinel compressing herself to keep under the Blanket, Flurry then picked up the Pillow and fiercely beat the Pillow out of it, she let out a confused cooing noise as she looked inside the Pillow case, Spinel peaked one of her eyes out as Flurry went from confusion to joy as she started playing with the lose fabric. Spinel slowly made herself 3-dimensional and smiled as she made to make her escape. she set her foot on the floor and a loud squeak rang across the room, Spinel froze on the spot as Flurry let out a squealed at the noise and took the Pillow case off her head. The two looked at each other for a moment and Spinel gave her a look of Terror just as Flurry cried out in joy, Spinel jumped to her feet with a squeak and made to run for it, only for her feet to be frozen in place, resulting her in falling flat on her face, Spinel pulled her sell off the floor and looked at her feet to find her feet stuck in magic from the ankle down, preventing her from using the Rejuvenator without major risk to herself.
"No!" Spinel said in a panic as she latched onto the bed back two legs with her arms "You can't make me go!" Flurry didn't notice as she took to the air, dragging Spinel behind her, Spinel watched her feet be dragged of before the rest of her followed after, she firmly held onto the bed when Flurry gave a mighty pull and Spinels jolted towards the door, and her arms snapped back to her side, flipping the bed, Spinel had half a second to look up before the bed flattened her. Flurry didn't notice as she pulled Spinel out of the room and down the hall, Spinels eyes where spinning from the impacted and she had just shaken the pain from her head when Flurry reached the stairs Flurry flew down them still dragging Spinel across the floor, resulting in Spinel's head banging each and every one with a squeak on the way down, Spinel was very easily dragged into the Playroom, Flurry closed the door and let Spinel go before cheering happily, She stood with an excited look in her eye as she waited for Spinel to get up, Spinel proceeded to lay on the floor in a pain induced daze. Flurry made her sound of confusion and smiled as she got an idea, Spinel was then levitated in the air and Flurry proceeded to do what she had seen her father do multiple times when her toys batteries started dying, she violently shook Spinel to try and get her going again. After a solid minute of shaking she stopped and looked at Spinel, who was just kind of existing, Flurry sighed and tossed Spinel away, Spinel flew across the room and slammed into the wall with one final mighty Squeak. Flurry made her way into the room and started playing with all the toys in the room, breaking all of them one by one until Twilight came back, She looked into the room and sighed.
"Spinel you where suppose to be watching her," Twilight looked around the room for Spinel and found her laying unmoving with her face pressed hard into the wall. "And of course she decided to sleep for the first time ever when I give her the most important job in the world," Twilight sighed as she picked up Flurry, who was ecstatic to see Twilight. "Well don't worry, Auntie Twilight won't ever leave you alone with Spinel again, now who's hungry?" Flurry responded with joy as Twilight took her out of the room, Twilight closed the door and the second she did Spinel Removed her face from the wall and took a deep breath before quietly crying in relief on the floor.
"I am never babysitting anything ever again,"
