//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Twilight's Dreams // by Naptime //------------------------------// Dearest Twilight Sparkle, I hope that this brief message finds you well. I wished to inquire regarding the troubles you were pondering over from your recent dreams. I hadn't heard from you in awhile and I was curious to see if you had made any progress on the matter. Forever yours, Princess Luna Dear Princess Luna, I am pleased to report that I have made great strides in exploring my strange dreams! I do believe it's brought me and my brother closer because of it and it has certainly helped uncover a side of me I never knew I was missing so dearly. Shining Armor has been incredibly supportive on the matter and has even encouraged me to arrange another session in the near future. It's tough for me to figure out which of us is more excited about it. I would have never thought he'd be okay with changing... "...changing...what?" Spike the dragon spoke up, his quill hovering over the open letter. Twilight froze mid step, snapping out of her dictating stride. "Uhm, you know what,” she was quick to stammer out, ”f-forget that last part. Just uhm, wrap things up with saying how I'll keep her updated." "Right," Spike nodded as he scribbled out the last of the letter and added the last few sentences, silently moving his lips to the words. "Then go ahead and send it." "On it!" Spike replied before puffing a tiny spark of green flame. The rolled up letter quickly burned up in the magical flame and was magicked away with a plume of smoke. "So how did your trip to the Dragonlands go?" Twilight asked once the letter disappeared. "Oh it was great!" Spike exclaimed, "Garble and the guys threw me a huge party and everything!" "Thinkin' you'll be wanting to go back any time soon?" "I hope so. If my workload here doesn't keep me from leaving at least," Spike replied, cleaning up his writing desk before suddenly pausing. "Why...?" he asked with narrow eyes, "are you itching to hang out with Shining Armor again THAT badly?" “I-I was just curious is all,” Twilight replied, “it was nice having Shining Armor over for a few days. We hardly get to see each other these days.” “Yeeeaaah, I get it. I’ll try not to be around to cramp your guys’s style.” “It’s not like that, Spike. We love having you around!” “Nah, it’s cool. Just means I have an excuse to go up to the Dragonlands more often!” the baby dragon grinned proudly, “unless you WANT me to hang out with you and Shining next time you guys get together.” “Wouldn’t want to keep you from your vacation away from me, Spike!” Twilight managed to force out, “besides, you’d probably be weirded out by the stuff me and Shining do.” “‘Weirded out’?” “Bored! I meant to say bored!”
