Spike didn't sleep after his dream last night, he just decided to lay there and rest, and before he knew it, Celestia was raising the sun. Spike yawned and stretched.
"I suppose I better get up now!", Spike thought out loud, but then he remembered something.
"Oh yes! Canterlot!", Spike thought about how he could get there without telling anypony the reason why, as he didn't want any of his friends to feel hurt that he wanted to go all the way to Canterlot to talk to Luna, rather than stay in Ponyville and talk to them.
"Hmm... maybe I could ask Twilight when our next visit to Canterlot is", Spike thought.
As Spike walked into the main hall, he saw a tower of books on the table where the cutie map would usually be, and Twilight already halfway through a book.
"Morning Twilight", Spike greeted. There was no response from the purple alicorn. Spike sighed.
"Twilight!", Spike said raising his volume. Still no reaction or response. He sighed again and went over to the tower of books and moved some slightly. Twilight slowly looked up.
"Oh! Morning, Spike", Twilight smiled.
"Oh, I do get a response then", Spike said jokingly. Twilight gave the dragon a sorry smile.
"I'm sorry, Spike, I didn't hear you I was lost in this book"
"Shocker!", Spike said through a laugh. Twilight chuckled.
"Alright! I get it, but you know, I love to read", Twilight smiled, but it quickly faded when something crossed her mind.
"How are you feeling today, Spike?", Twilight said with a concerned look on her face. Spike's smile faded to a more neutral look.
"I'm okay, Twilight, honestly", Spike looked at the tower of books again, then back at Twilight.
"Twilight... have you even had breakfast?", Spike said with slight concern in his voice. Twilight slightly chuckled.
"Yes, don't worry, I had a bowl of oats before I started reading", Twilight said calming the dragon.
"Oh good!", Spike smiled, then he remembered his dream from last night.
"Umm, Twilight, when is our next visit to Canterlot?", Spike said hoping Twilight wouldn't ask why.
"Umm... Princess Celestia hasn't informed me of any duties, so I'm guessing not for a while", Twilight informed. Spike didn't like the sound of that, he did his best to hide his disappointment, but he knew he failed when he saw Twilight's concerned expression.
"What's wrong, Spike?" Did you want to go to Canterlot?", Twilight asked. Spike started to worry, he had to think of something quick.
"I... uhh... had a dream last night and I felt it was like a signal to go to Canterlot, but if there aren't any duties, I suppose it was just a dream", Spike nervously chuckled. Twilight could see right through the dragon', she thought then smiled
"Spike, would you like to visit Canterlot?", Twilight gave Spike a warm smile letting him know that everything is okay.
"...yeah, I do", Spike said rubbing the back of his neck. He looked back up at Twilight who was still smiling, then she started to think.
"Okay, Spike, how about this? You finish your chores for this week, then I can drop you off at Canterlot next week, as I won't need any assistance", Twilight suggested. Spike smiled at Twilight's idea, but then he noticed Twilight's wording.
"Wait... what do you mean by 'you can drop me off'', Twilight?", Spike asked with a puzzled look on his face. Twilight showed a sorry expression.
"Sorry, Spike, unfortunately, I'll still be busy, do you still want to go to Canterlot?", Twilight asked. The dragon perked up and smiled.
"Yeah, I'd still like to go", Spike smiled, Twilight returned the smile.
"Well, I better get on with my chores", Spike left the main hall and made his way to the library to start on his first task, sorting the books.
