The librarians and the cat of life

by Dragon Shimmer


A surprised from Celestia

After 45 minutes of relaxing and wandering around Dragonland, Twilight and Amelia feel bored and head to the cave to retrieve Sunset and Spike. When she gets there, the dragons around are murmuring, some of them even have a scared tone. Twilight sees the red dragon and asks, "Hey, can I ask you what happens here?"

The red dragon turns around, "Oh, you must be the guest of Dragonland." He kneels down, "I'm Garble. Anyway, there is an orange dragoness that plugs the purple dragon's head into the ground."

Twilight realizes that is Spike and Sunset as she rubs her chin, "I'm Twilight Sparkle. So... Can you tell me more details?"

"Nice to meet you, Twilight" Garble turns to the cave and sees that two dragons are carrying Spike to another cave. Twilight feels painful for him. The red dragon sighs, "Anyway, I... don't want to talk more about this because it is terrifying for many of us. No dragons can actually do that."

"Okay..." Twilight sighs, "Can you lead me to the cave where they put the purple dragon?"

"Sure. Follow me," Twilight follows the red dragon to a cave. Inside the cave, there are many dragons standing around Spike to treat him as the purple dragon is trying to move an inch. Twilight walks close to the purple dragon and asks, "What did you do this time? Challenge Sunset?"

"A half." Spike opens his eyes. "I thought I would die here."

"What do you mean by a half?" Twilight tilts her head in confusion. Ember and Torch come inside to visit him. Twilight notices them and glares, "Did you do this?"

"Well..." Torch rubs his head, "I never thought that dragon was so strong. And her finish is too brutal even for a dragon."

Twilight facehooves, "What do you mean 'too brutal' here? That orange dragon never has mercy for anyone."

"Well, let me explain," Ember turns to her father as the dragonlord steps back. Ember grabs her father and flies, then she turns upside down with her father. Twilight takes a step back and gulps as the blue dragon puts down her father. Ember sighs, "Did you get it?"

"Yeah," Twilight rubs her head, "I get it. How many dragons saw this scene?"

"They hold land," Torch sighs, "And all of them are scared."

"I can't agree more," Twilight gives him a smug, "But anyway, why do you think making Spike against that crazy dragon is a good idea?"

"Because... we all know so..." Ember rubs her head, "We help him in a dragon way."

"Bad idea," Twilight walks to the purple dragon and lightens her horn. Spike is covered by the green aura and feels warm. After a while, he manages to stand up and stretch his body, much as the others are surprised. Twilight looks at him, "You okay?"

"Near dead," Spike stands up, "I am surprised when you are able to use this spell."

"Relax, and we're done here." Twilight smiles, "I just learn the spell and practice it. Anyway, time to get back to Ponyville." Twilight starts walking outside and Spike follows her. The gray dragonlord sighs and goes back to his cave to continue his work.


The librarians teleport back to their home as Spike lies on the bed due to his muscles still being stiff. Sunset and Amelia go downstairs while Twilight stays with the purple dragon to take care of him. Twilight jumps beside Spike and asks, "Ready to go out? We have a lot of gifts to give."

Spike turns to the gifts that are put on the corner of the rooms and sighs, "Fine, and we give Sunset's gifts to others." The purple dragon takes all the gifts and puts them in the chest, then he goes outside with Twilight to give the gift to them.

The purple duo heads to the Sugarcube Corner. When they reach there, a blast comes from inside as the purple duo is surprised. Pinkie bounces around them and gives them cakes to the purple duo. Twilight gives her the gift and the pink pony is very happy to receive them, then she hugs them hard. 

The purple duo continues to give gifts to other friends. Fluttershy is very shy to receive the gift. Applejack simply says 'Thank you,' and gives them back her gift. Rainbow Dash turns her head away but still takes the gift and flies back to her cloud house. 

The purple duo head to Carousel Boutique and Spike knocks on the door. "Coming," Rarity opens the door and sees the purple duo stay there. The white unicorn smiles, "What are you doing here?" The purple duo gives the white unicorn three gifts as Rarity smiles, "Thank you. I appreciate that. How about you two come inside to take a rest."

Spike nods, "Sure. We're quite tired now." Twilight and Spike go inside the boutique. They see many clothes hanging around. Spike asks, "Do you have a big order?"

 "Yes," Rarity puts the tea on the table and sighs, "I have the order from Flora and from Sapphire Spore."

"Sapphire Spore? Is that the singer?" asks Twilight, "I saw her in the magazine sometime."

"You guess right, darling," Rarity looks at the gifts, "Oh, why did you give me three gifts?"

"Because the orange one is Sunset." explains Spike, "I hope you don't mind."

Rarity opens the orange gift and sees that the doll is shaped like her. The white unicorn hugs it tightly, "Oh I like this gift so much."

"I'm glad you like it," Twilight smiles and takes a sip as Spike leans on the sofa, "Don't worry. You will find the gift that Sunset likes."

"I hope that she won't kill me again," Spike whines, "like the time she did in Dragonland."

"Did you mess with her?" Rarity tilts her head, "I mean, she can manage to cast a spell in over Canterlot. I don't know if I mess with her."

"You can," Twilight smiles, "Just don't challenge her to a fight. She won't show mercy. Anyway, I really need your help with Spike."

Rarity rubs her head, "What do you mean?" Twilight waves her hoof to ask the white unicorn to come closer and whisper to her about something. When she is done, Rarity looks at Spike with a lovely smile and suggests, "Did you give her some jewelry?"

"No," Spike shakes her head, "You know she will change them into artifacts, right?" Rarity facehoofs as Spike shakes his head, "And that orange dragon won't like the jewelry."

Rarity walks around and thinks while Spike takes a magazine to read. The white unicorn comes to him and asks, "Did you ever ask her out?"

"Wha...what?" Spike blushes, "But ..." Rarity puts her front hoof to his chin and shakes her head. The purple dragon sighs, "Fine, I will try." 

"Great," Rarity smiles, "But can you do that after 2 hours? I have to finish my work." The purple duo stands up and heads to their home but Rarity pulls Twilight back, "And can I borrow her? I need her to help me with my work."

Twilight shakes her head but Spike answers, "Sure, you can have her. I need to go back to the library." Rarity glees and pulls the purple unicorn while Spike just goes back to the library. Suddenly, he is feeling not right inside his body and bluffs a letter. Sighing, he takes the letter and reads it. After finishing reading, the purple dragon comes back to the boutique and announces, "You two, Princess Celestia needs to meet all of us in one hour."


Amelia is heading to Fluttershy's cottage as she is told that the yellow pegasus is the best for animals. When the white cat comes to the cottage, many animals around are afraid of her and stay away from her. The white cat doesn't care and knocks on the door. Fluttershy comes, opens the door and sees the white cat that has a blue aura around it. The yellow pegasus feels weird and asks, "oh litter fellow, what are you doing here?"

Amelia answers, "Well... I just came here for a cat to transform," Fluttershy yelps and jumps back while Amelia flies to her, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." 

"Oh... uh... that's fine," Fluttershy blushes, "I am still afraid of a blue cat."

"You mean Noleg? He is my husband," Amelia folds her paws, "Did he do something wrong?"

"No... Not quite," Fluttershy smiles, "Anyway, my name is Fluttershy. Nice to meet you. It is strange when I see a cat that can actually talk."

" Nice to meet you, my name is Amelia. I heard that you have a lot of cats, right?" asks Amelia as the yellow pegasus nods, "Well... could I borrow them, please? I need a new form."

"Well... I don't know many cats but... please come in and wait. I will be back," The yellow pegasus flies away while Amelia just flies into her house and sits on the sofa. Looking around, she feels many animals are hiding from her as she sighs. The white cat flies around to find the kitchen to wait. After 30 minutes, the yellow pegasus comes back with many cats as they are snuggling against the pegasus. When they see the white cat, all of them are hiding behind the pegasus as Amelia sighs. The yellow pegasus giggles, "Looks like you don't have love from others cats."

"It's fine." Amelia is sipping the tea. "Could you put them down? So I can choose."

Fluttershy starts putting the cat down and tries to calm them down. The yellow pegasus turns to the white cat, "Just don't hurt them." Amelia nods as she starts to fly above them to check. When she is checking, a knock on the door interrupts her as Fluttershy opens the door. She sees Spike is talking about Princess Celestia summoning her for something. The yellow pegasus nods in understanding and turns to the white cat, "I think I have to leave you here with those cats. I hope you can do it." 

"Don't worry," Amelia folds her paw, "Create a... I mean these things are simple." Fluttershy nods and closes the door, leaving the cats for Amelia. The white cat snaps her paws and creates many roots to wrap around the cat. The cats are 'meowing' for help as Amelia threatens, "If you don't mind, please put it simply. I won't hurt you," then she starts to select the cat to transform.


The yellow pegasus walks with Spike as they don't know why Princess Celestia summons all of the Elements of Harmony. When they walk to the park, all of them are standing there and start to discuss something. The purple dragon asks, "What are you thinking about this summon?"

"Don't know," Rarity sighs, "But it should be quick. I have work to do."

"Maybe she brings us a new friend." Pinkie is bouncing happily, "You know, we will be happy when she brings a friend for us."

"Silly pinkie," Twilight giggles, "I don't know if Celestia has a true friend. Sunset is close to her friend but... you already know her."

 Spike points at the sky, "Or a friend has a lot of animal parts?"

"You mean Discord?" Twilight turns to Spike, "Silly, Celestia won't ever let the villain out of his stone prison. Hey, that's rhyme." 

"I mean literally," Spike points at the chariot as it is flying to their spot. The main 6 looks closely to have a better view and sees that Celestia is bringing the Discord statue to their spot. When the chariot comes down, Celestia greets the main 6 as Spike asks her, "What do you think to bring the villain to here?"

"Simple," Celestia steps down the chariot and smiles, "I want all of you to help him understand about friendship."

Twilight steps back, "But... But... " The white alicorn smiles at her as the purple unicorn sighs, "Fine. We will do it." The others grasp as Twilight sighs. Celestia smiles and pats her head, then she wishes good luck to her student and flies back to Canterlot.
