// Rest before training.

// by Dragon Shimmer 
//------------------------------//

Twilight and Spike go back to the library to take a rest. Noleg walks from upstairs and jumps on Twilight's belly with a paper. Twilight looks at the paper and is careful to read that. When she just finishes, she just drops the paper without any movement. Spike feels weird and takes the paper, and his face is the same as Twilight when reading that.

Sunset comes back to the library and looks at them, "Oh hey! I got a double statue." then the orange dragon looks at the blue cat, "Noleg, did you buy those?"

"Not funny, Sunset," Twilight glares at Sunset, "Noleg just gives us some hard training and we have to do it,"

"Eh, you know the next battle in two days later," Sunset points at the arena board, "You all have to fight the semi-final and final round, but you need a rest so I advise you to start tomorrow afternoon,"

"Fine," Spike waves his claw, "I'm tired anyway." Sunset gives him a smirk and walks to the basement for her training. The purple duo looks at her as they don't know what she is training. When the purple duo is going to come with her, Noleg raises his sword and shakes his head. The purple duo sighs and just goes upstairs to sleep, leaving the orange dragon to train herself.


Twilight and Spike wake up with Sunset on the bed as Sunset is still sleeping. The purple duo goes to the kitchen to have breakfast. When the purple duo is enjoying breakfast, a knock on the door interrupts them. Twilight goes to open the door and sees Pinkie Pie is waving her front hoof to say 'hi' to Twilight.

Pinkie keeps bouncing around Twilight and puts her hoof around the purple unicorn, "Hey Twilight, don't you remember today is the pet play day?"

Twilight facehoofs, "OH yeah, how can I forgot about that, Sorry Pinkie."

"It doesn't look like you, you know?" Pinkie puts her face near Twilight's face, making the purple unicorn nervous, "Is something happening?"

"Nothing. Give me a minute, I will get Owlicious to play with." Twilight goes inside and sees the owl is sleeping on the branch. Twilight smiles and pokes the owl to wake him up. The owl looks at her and lands on her back, "Hey, how about we spend a day playing together." The owl flaps his wings happily as Twilight smiles. Twilight walks out of the library and meets Pinkie Pie there, then the ponies walk to the park.

Spike looks at Twilight, then looks at Noleg. When Spike is trying to say something, Noleg raises his paw to say 'no' to him. The purple dragon sighs and sits down on the sofa to read a book. Sunset comes downstairs with a 'yawn' and looks around. She doesn't see Twilight anywhere, "Hey, where's Twilight?"

Spike points at the open doors, "She is just going out with Owlicious. Geez, why did she give her pet that name? It's silly,"
Sunset rolls her eyes and walks to the kitchen to have breakfast. When the orange dragon is done, a knock on the door interrupts them as Spike comes to open the door. He sees a familiar Abyssian standing in front of him. The Abyssnian hugs him immediately, making the purple dragon confused, "Eh, I know you're losing me in the arena but that's just the past. Can you let me go?"

Breaker releases him as she walks inside the library, "Wow, is this your place, Spike?"

"Kinda," Spike points at the orange dragon who is having breakfast, "The library is her. I'm just her housemate."

Breaker's ears are folding down Sunset comes out of the dining room and sees Breaker is on the sofa. The orange dragon gives Spike a smirk, "Oh, Spike gets all female creatures."

Spike waves his claw, "Not funny. " Then she looks at Breaker, "Anyway, what are you doing here?"

"Just visiting to see if I can stay in this village," Breaker rubs her head, "I want to stay here but I don't know where to stay."

"Oh," Spike closes the book, "I see. You want to have a place to stay so you come here to borrow the map, right?"

Breaker punches Spike lightly, "Come on, you don't have to read me like that." Then she takes the map of Ponyville, "How much is this? I want to buy it."

Sunset looks at the Abyssinian, then looks outside. She sees Feather and Bull are waiting outside, "Did you build the house for three? I see a black minotaur with a black griffin out of the library." Breaker stands up and goes outside but Sunset steps on her tail to stop her. The orange dragon glares at her, "You want to do something else, right?"

Breaker rubs her head, "Oh, you got me. Well, we will just create a group house here."

"What kind of group?" asks Spike, "Is that a fighting group?"

"No," Breaker waves her paw, "It's just a farming group."

"I see," Sunset stands up, "Hey, Spike. How about we help them? You're free anyway, right?"

Spike nods and stands up as Noleg jumps on his head. The trio goes outside with Bull and Feather as they head to Town Hall to see if somewhere is empty to build.




Twilight is playing with her owl and her friends also do that. When Twilight creates an ice owl without using her horn, her friend 'wow' and they come closer to watch the ice owl.  Owlicious and her ice owl are flying around and Owlicious is very happy about that.

"How can you do that?" asks Fluttershy as Twilight looks at her, "I mean, all of unicorn need a horn to perform their magic while you don't need it,"

"Well," Twilight puts her front hooves on her face, "A lot of pain,"

Rainbow tilts her head, "Anyway, where did you three go yesterday? I can't see you until the night."

"Well..." Twilight rubs her chin, "I and Spike are participating in the arena in Diamond Dog mine." 

Rarity grasps, "Did you... come to that place?" Twilight nods and Rarity looks around, "Did those dogs hurt you somewhere? I'm still so terrified when I get kidnapped into that place,"

"Rarity, you stole their gem, so they have the right to arrest you," retorts Twilight. 

Rarity can just shut her mouth as she sees that she was right. Rainbow flies close to the purple unicorn, "Anyway, did you pass the round? I bet that an egghead like you can't do this."

"Actually," Twilight turns to Rainbow Dash, "Tomorrow, I'll fight in the semi-final round." Rainbow shocks as her mouth is opening wide. Twilight comes to close her mouth, "Careful, you will catch some flies."

"Really?" Applejack walks close to the purple unicorn, "We will come there to cheers ya'. Wait, who will you fighting against with?"

Twilight sighs, "Spike." All of her friends are silent for a while. Twilight smiles, "Anyway, let's get a pet for Rainbow Dash. Looks like she wants a pet."

"What!" retorts Rainbow, "No way. Having a pet is not cool."

"Don't lie," Applejack punches the blue pegasus lightly, "I know ya' want a pet just like us." Then she points at Fluttershy, "Here, let her help you up." Rainbow grumbles and she follows Fluttershy to her cottage. 



The group is going to the Town Hall to get the information about the empty land spot. When they are just going inside the Town Hall, many ponies are looking at them as Sunset just goes inside and knocks on the door. "Come in," a voice comes from the door as Sunset just goes inside while others just wait.

Mayor Mare is writing as many papers are putting in front of the table. When she sees Sunset, she smiles, "Hello there. What can I do today?"

"Just asking if there is an empty ground," Sunset points out, "Many creatures want to have another house."

"I see," Mayor Mare points at the map, "You can look at it. It has plenty of empty ground. Don't worry, I have put the price on the map."

The dragon takes the map, "Can I take it?" Mayor Mare nods and the orange dragon goes out of the group. When Sunset gives them the map, they stare for a long time then put the map down. 

Breaker points at the map, "Why is the price too high? I thought it would be cheap."

"I bet because there are not many spots to build the house anymore," Spike keeps looking at the map, "Because many ponies built a house in there and no one can actually get near into the Everfree forest so I bet that they are expensive," Then the purple dragon points at the lowest spot, "See this spot, it near the Everfree forest."

"We'll take it," Bull grins, "I like dangerous so this one will be a good one to practice," the others nod as Sunset is laughing, making them confused.

Sunset points at the minotaurs, "I like that spirit. All right, I will talk to Mayor Mare. Wait here." Then the orange dragon goes inside. Noleg takes out the card as they play together to wait for the orange dragon.

After thirty minutes, the orange dragon comes out as the others just look at her to see the result. The orange dragon waves her claws to tell that all of them follow her. The group smiles and stands up to follow the orange dragon. 




Looking to the map, Sunset leads others to show the spot. When they get there, the north side is the Everfree forest. All of them like it, they want to start building a house immediately. The dragon duo sighs and they say goodbye to them to return to the library. 

When they just come inside the library, Rainbow Dash is sitting there with a tortoise, which makes Sunset laugh out loud. The cyan pegasus glares and flies near them, "Hey, why don't you tell me that you two are going to battle with each other?"

"That's why we come back here," Sunset points at the ground, "And what are you doing here with your tortoise?"

"Just...." Rainbow Dash waves her hoofs around, "I mean, we are friends, right? Why don't you talk to me to cheer you up?"

"Well, that is not necessary," explains Spike, "Because we don't want to make you and others worry about us."

"That not the point," Rainbow looks at the purple dragon sternly, "I want to see your fight."

"I know you want to see me and Twilight fight," Spike waves his claw and teases, "Because you want to watch me and Twilight hurt each other, right?"

"Hey, I don't..." Rainbow tries to retort but Twilight comes inside the library and sighs because she doesn't know what will happen in the training. Rainbow looks at the purple unicorn, "You okay, Twily?"

"I'm fine," Twilight lies on the sofa, "Just a little tired,"

"I see," Rainbow watches the clock and sees that it's time to go, "I have a thing to do, see ya tomorrow. Our friends will cheer you two up tomorrow." Then Rainbow Dash flies away. 

Twilight gulps as she is thinking about the training that they are going to face. Sunset looks at her and tries to calm her, "Oh, don't worry. Noleg will not spare with you."

The purple duo sighs in relief. Spike asks, "Then what will you train us today?"

"Follow me," 

Sunset waves her claw and the purple duo is following her. When they just come inside, Sunset is wearing her robe and salet. Spike feels weird and asks, "Eh, why are you wearing those? Is Celestia inviting you to the party?" 

"No," Sunset takes out her staff and points at them, "About the party. I admit the answer 'yes' because right now, you will train with me," The purple duo is terrifying and hugging each other. Sunset grins, "Don't worry, I won't show you mercy. A little no," They gulp as the training begins.
