The librarians and the cat of life

by Dragon Shimmer


To the Canterlot

Celestia is training in the training zone to defend herself. Luna walks through the zone with many cats, making Celestia curious as she calls Luna to come to her. The blue alicorn looks at her sister and asks, "You are curious why I have a lot of cats, right?"

Luna puts down all the cat, Yes, Sister," Celestia puts down her halberd as the blue alicorn smiles, " I want to see if you are a cat magnet or not,"

"How cute!" Celestia giggles, "no way I am a cat magnet."

"You will see," Luna starts opening the cages to release the cats. When they see the white alicorn, they immediately rush at her and cuddle with her. Celestia feels amused while Luna throws her forehooves, "Woo hoo, I said right. You are a cat magnet."

"Fine, you win," Celestia is walking to the table as the cats are still lying on her. Celestia sits down and sighs, "I don't know what to do with Chrysalis."

Luna sits down with her as the maid puts the tea down and takes the cat. Luna sighs, "You mean the changeling wanted to retrieve their queen back yesterday?" Celestia nods. Luna rubs her chin, " It's look like they have something wrong with them."

"I can release her without problem, of course with some conditions but..." Celestia circles her left front hoof, "The queen is still in resistance and only hears the creature who she surrenders with."

 Luna takes a sip, "And ... who did she surrender?" Celestia sighs and the blue alicorn knows the answer, "is that the one who tortured us?"

"Unfortunately, she is," Celestia puts her face down, "I don't have brave to summon her again, but I have to because I have a meeting with the zebras at noon,"

"Fine," Luna sips the tea, "then summons her. We will pass this session together."


Sunset throws a punch at Amelia but the white cat blocks it easily. When Amelia is trying to punch back, two chains wrap around her paws and pins her into the ground, causing her surprise. Sunset takes the flaming staff and slashes her. The cat teleports behind the orange dragon and kicks her, but the orange dragon changes into smoke. Looking around to find Sunset, Amelia received a punch from her and slammed into the wall.

"Whoa." Sunset looks at her claws, "I can punch a cat," suddenly, many whie chains wrap around her body. The orange dragon tries to make a spell but something blocks her. Look at her claws, an white aura is covering. Amelia waves her paws as the dragon is tied firmly with her claws behind. Sunset is trying to struggle with her legs but the chains tied it too. After a while, she just lies there while the cat stands on her body. Sunset huffs, "At least I can hit you,"

"Yeah" Amelia rubs her head, " you are doing fast honestly. Anyway..." the white cat starts levitating the dragon and goes outside the training room, "Just stay in this for 3 hours in the bedroom." 

"Fine," Sunset yawns, "I'm sleepy anyway."

The white cat puts the orange dragon on the bed and unlocks the chain. Sunset closes her eyes and sleeps immediately. Amelia sighs in relief and flies back to the main room to continue to read the book. When she is reading the book, the purple dragon comes back to the library with the letter on his claw. Amelia sighs, "I bet that letter is for Sunset,"

"You guess right," Spike looks around, "where's Sunset?"

"She is taking a nap," Amelia points upstairs, "I hope that is not an emergency."

"Indeed, it is," Spike opens the letter, "Celestia tolds that she will have a meeting with the zebra. I don't know what the problem is with them."

"Ah, maybe we will go instead of that orange dragon," Amelia smiles, "I hope she doesn't mind."

"But you are just a cat," retorts Spike and chuckles, "How can you work in a negotiation?"

"Just write a letter about this," The white cat leans on the sofa, "and I think that's better when you visit her."
 
Spike rubs his chin, "maybe I will write a letter,"

The purple dragon takes out the letter and starts writing. Amelia looks around, "where's Twilight? I thought she will come with you."

Spike points at outside, "she is watching Discord,"

"Ah, that slacker," Amelia leans more about him, "I heard that he is God of Chaos,"

"Everypony said that," Spike takes out the feather pen and starts writing, " I hope that not right,"

"He can be a god," Amelia flies inside the kitchen, "If he know what a god mean," 

"Are you a god too?" Spike points at the fridge as Amelia opens it to take a bow of fishes out, "I mean, you don't show any power."

Amelia points upstair, "Does Sunset show power toward everyone?" Spike shakes his head as the white cat flies outside, "You don't need to show power to everyone. That's stupid and ridicilous,"

"I see," Spike wraps the letter and blows the letter to send it to Celestia. After a while, he blows out a letter and starts reading it, then he looks at the cat, "we can go to Canterlot, now. I see Celestia is waiting for us."

"Then hold your guts," Amelia claps her paws and the duo teleport away.


After Spike leaves the position, Twilight watches Discord alone to see if there is something wrong. For 15 minutes, they still talk with others. After 30 minutes, Discord snaps his finger to perform his spell to make tea and stuff flying and talking. Twilight is still watching him. Something is poking her as Twilight turns back, "Spike, this is not the time," and sees Discord and Fluttershy are standing there. The purple unicorn smiles nervously, "eh... are you enjoying each other?"

"If you don't watch us," Discord puts his paws around the yellow pegasus," I admit she can be my friend."

"Yes," Fluttershy giggles, "He is so funny." 

Twilight looks at the yellow pegasus, then her horn is lightning to check if Discord is using some spell on her friend. The draconequus is laughing and say, "Don't worry, I don't cast any spell on your friend."

After checking, Twilight turns to Discord, "you better watch out. I will always watching you,"

"Oh," Discord points at himself, " I promise that I won't do anything evil, again."

"I don't  trust you," Twilight huffs, " I still remember when you pulled tricks for us."

"And got beaten by a certain orange dragon," Discord folds his paw/claw, "I really hate her,  she ruined all my fun,"

"And your fun is not our fun," retorts Twilight, "remember that."

"How can I make a promise before you," Discord flies around, "I don't have anything,"

Twilight rolls her eyes, "you got the point. I  will trust you this time. But if I find you doing something wrong, you won't get away," then she walks away from them to leave them alone. Discord and Fluttershy look at each other and continue the tea party.


Snow Storm is walking back to the station to organize her wardrobe. A paper is floating out of the wardrobe as the kirin takes it to read. She realizes that Coral Blade will have a meeting today but  she received the baby caretaker mission in the guild. Feeling something is not normal, the kirin decides to head to the Sugarcube Corner.

When the kirin arrives at the building, she hears something smashing inside. Taking a look inside, she sees a baby unicorn is levitating Coral as the captain is trying to tell the baby nicely and try to get a lollipop. The kirin is laughing hard when she sees this. Coral swims in the air and grabs the kirin through the window, causing her to be surprised. The kirin rubs her head and sees the babies are looking at her curiously. Snow Storm glares at Coral, "hey, why you drag me to this?"

"Because I thought you will help me, right?" Coral smiles at the kirin. Snow Storm just slowly walks out the house but the babies pull her tail and ride on her happily, cause the kirin looks back. Coral looks at her in pleased eyes, "Can you help me, please?"

Snow Storm looks at the captain, then looks at the babies as they are playing with her tail, the kirin sighs, "Fine, but you won't get away because of missing the meeting, again."

Coral hugs her tight, " Thank you so much. These babies make me exhausted a lot,"

"Well, I have not any experience of taking care of babies, but let me try." Snow Storm closes the door, then points at inside the Sugarcube Corner, "All right, can you please clean that mess? I will take care of them,"

Coral hugs her tight, "thank you so much," then she runs inside and starts taking a broom and stuff to clean the building.


Spike is surprised by the teleport and finds that he is in Canterlot's castle now. Looking around, he finds that they are in the garden now. The purple dragon looks at the cat, "wow, you can do this?"

"It is simple," Amelia winks, "I hope you don't mind."

Spike rubs his head, "Yeah, I don't mind at all. Anyway... " Spike looks at the clocks, " I think I know what Celestia is doing. Let's go," when the purple dragon is trying to step, something heavy slams into him as Spike is getting up. Looking back, he finds that Sunset is sleeping on his back. Amelia giggles while the purple dragon glares at her and blushes, "not funny. You teleports her too

"Sorry, I didn't hold  myself, " Amelia flies to Spike, " anyway, let's put her somewhere else."

Spike starts carrying the orange dragon, "Great idea, I know a room to put her. Let's go before..." Celestia and Luna are standing in front of him as the alicorns giggle. Spike sighs, " It's not what you think."

Celestia whispers to Luna about something as the blue alicorn nods and goes away. The white alicorn walks closer to the purple dragon and wraps her hoof around him to whisper, "Have you had her yet?" Spike blushes and turns away to the white alicorn. Celestia giggles, "anyway, how is your Heart and Hooves day?"

"Good. But I forgot to give you this gift," Spike takes out two gifts, "Here you go. Happy late Heart and Hooves day."

"Thanks," Celestia giggles and takes the gift, "oh, did you give the gift to Sunset?"

"Not yet," Spike rubs his head, "I don't know what she likes most. She refused to say the thing she liked when I asked her."

Celestia pats his head, "remember Spike, you should give the thing that she needs, not the thing she wants."

"Thank you, Celestia," Spike smiles, "I think I know what to do,"

Celestia nods and she leads the group to her bedroom to put the orange dragon. Suddenly, Sunset is moving her body and yawns as the group stops and looks at her. When Sunset opens her eyes, she finds that she is being carried by Spike, makes her quite amused and asks, "Did you carry me here?"

Spike points at Amelia, "her doing, not mine." Sunset jumps down and stretches her body. The purple dragon smiles, "I think I know what gift you should give you."

"Oh," Sunset looks at Celestia, " Did you make an example for him? I don't want something fancy."

"I just give him an advice," Celestia walks close to the orange dragon and pokes her scales that are attracted to her horns, "Those scales are very fancy, you know." 

"Maybe," Sunset rubs her head, "anyway, what are we doing here,"

"Oh, sorry," Celestia smiles, "Just call you to come here to help me in the meeting with the zebras."

Sunset rolls her eyes, "Fine, I will help you. " 

The group starts walking to a room. When they open, they see Artarmiel and Zeke are sitting on the table as they wait for the white alicorn. The thing is going to be funny.
