"And peace has been maintained in Equestria for generations since..." Twilight Sparkle finished, scrolling down a bit more on her kindle. "M17 Teleportal Device...I know I've heard of that somewhere...But where?"
My Little Pony, My Little Pony
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh…My Little Pony!
I used to wonder how I'd live without technology!
My Little Pony!
And I still do, 'cause you're all crazy!
Big adventu-
Pass.
Tons of-
Nope.
A beautiful heart~
All I need is my computer.
Faithful and strong!
That pretty much describes my computer.
Sharing kindness...
On the internet? Have you even used a computer? You know what, screw this. If you need me, I'll be on FimFiction shipping Applejack with Rainbow Dash.
WHAT?!
Twilight Sparkle then facehoofed after realizing she had the power of the internet at her hooftips. After opening her hooftop, she quickly started up a Hoofle search for information on the M17 Teleportal Device.
"Ah, Wikipedia...What would anypony ever do without you?" Twilight Sparkle mused as the page finally loaded and she began to read aloud. "The M17 Teleportal is the name of the fabled electromagnetical rift device that encloses the space between two points in order to offer quick travel between the points. The M17 Teleportal Device was said to be used by the eldest of the royal pony sisters one thousand years ago when she banished her evil younger sister to the moon. No other records of this device exist except in the 763 A.B. book, Myths and Legends by William ShakeSpearAngrilyAtThoseTwoYutesOnHisLawn."
Being used to following bread crumbs on the internet in order to find exactly what she needed, Twilight Sparkle returned to Hoofle and used her magic to press the keys required to look up what she needed.
"Aha!" She exclaimed after hitting the enter key. "Myths and Legends...Twenty-Four bits and ninety-nine seeds on Everfree.com?!"
Slamming her hooftop shut grumpily and placing it in her saddlebag, Twilight Sparkle stormed off towards the library instead...
"Twilight Sparkle, to the throne room, please. Twilight Sparkle, to the throne room, please." the castle's intercom blared, interrupting a heated debate between Twilight Sparkle, who argued the benefits of having all books made electronic rather than hardcopy, and the Royal Librarian- who countered her argument, saying that it would only take one careless Unicorn to accidentally wipe the entire system clean.
Thankful to be rid of that older Unicorn mare who obviously had no idea what she was talking about, Twilight Sparkle trotted proudly down the halls towards the throne room, where undoubtedly her teacher sat.
It was when she was finally at the giant oak doors, however, that Twilight ground to a halt.
What the hay did she call me in for? Twilight wondered before cautiously nudging the doors open and stepping inside.
About a yard or two from where she stood, Princess Celestia sat diligently on her throne. Upon sighting her student, the Princess of the Sun gave a slight nod in her direction- beckoning her over.
"P-Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle stuttered and bowed.
"Arise, my faithful student. I have called you here and even halted Day Court so that I may speak privately with you on such an important matter."
"An important matter? Is Equestria at war? Did Nightmare Moon return and now I have to defeat her single hoofedly in order to protect Equestria from a powerful threat, using cliche godmode-like items? ...Shining Armor broke into the kitchen again, didn't he?" Twilight Sparkle questioned.
"While the latter is true, that is not what I have called you for. It has come to my attention that you are lacking in your studies, and I believe I know what the cause is." Princess Celestia began, firmly, as she levitated Twilight's hooftop from her saddlebags. "I have reports from several ponies, Royal Guards, mostly, that this is what is occupying all of your time. I expected better of you, Twilight Sparkle."
Crushing the electronic device in her magical grasp, much to Twilight's sheer horror, Celestia glowered at her student before continuing. "As my personal student, your duty is to study of every type of magic imaginable and practice it, so long as it does not break any laws."
"But Princess," Twilight Sparkle whined in desperation. "I WAS learning about magic! The...Uh...The Magic of Gathering!"
Twilight's attempts to reinform her teacher were only met with an unamused glower.
"I have an assignment for you, Twilight, and I pray that you will take this study seriously. I am sending you to a country town by the name of Ponyville. It is a town with little to no electricity- or at least no electricity being used for entertainment such as this horrid device." Princess Celestia explained, levitating the chunks of plastic and computer processing. "There, you will be overseeing the preparations for this year's Summer Sun Celebration- which will happen tomorrow -in addition to making some real, breathing friends."
"Ponyville? Seriously? Who names these towns?" Twilight Sparkle mumbled grumpily.
"You will leave for Ponyville in a sky chariot immediately. And Twilight? If I catch you with another one of these devices, or anything like it, while you are away, me crushing it will be the least of your problems."
Swallowing hard in slight fear, Twilight Sparkle took that as her official dismissal and hightailed it out of the throne room, heading towards her room to pack.
The land below was a beautiful scene of rolling hills and swirling clouds. A few birds flew by, squawking their greeting calls before passing the golden chariot.
All in all, it was a beautiful sight, and a beautiful day.
"I can't fucking believe this." Twilight Sparkle said after riding the chariot in silence for at least a half hour.
"Oh, relax, Twilight. We have backups back at the castle of all your precious clop." Spike said in slight disgust.
"It's not that, Spike, it's the fact that she's sending me away from Canterlot to set up a giant fucking party that boosts her ego as "Supreme Ruler"! I can't fucking stand her sometimes. What the hay did she even see in me?"
"Definitely not an arrogant, snobby bitch..." Spike mumbled, receiving a hoof to the back of his head.
"We're almost there. The sooner we can land and I can find a shop, the better. 'Oh, Twilight, listen to me because I am the most perfect pony ever to have lived! Ponyville doesn't have electricity!'. Bullshit. I'd be surprised if I didn't find a computer store."
Twilight Sparkle continued to glare out of the side of the chariot, staring down at the passing land and clouds below as the Pegasus team guiding the chariot began their descent. 
As the golden chariot landed near the town center and Twilight got off, she and Spike immediately made a beeline for the Ponyville Central Library, where she was to be staying.
It was Twilight's understanding that the previous Librarian had been fired for stealing new editions for herself, and Twilight had been given the space while they searched for a new pony to fill the position.
Twilight was almost to the door when a pink pony suddenly shot past her. The only reason Twilight realized it was even a pony at all was because it stopped in midair before opening the door to the library and then continued to shoot inside.
"Great. Not even here a minute and I already have company. Spike, get the tranquilizer out of my bags." Twilight ordered with a sigh.
"Tranquilizer? Celestia took that thing from you years ago..."
"...Oh yea...Alright, looks like we'll have to do this the old fashioned way."
"Why? It is a public library, after all, Twilight." Spike commented as he followed the purple pony to the door.
"Well, the library is closed for today."
"It's two o'clock, on a Tuesday."
"Closed!" Twilight Sparkle repeated as they reached the door.
Forcing the door open, Twilight Sparkle was met with a face full of confetti as a loud 'boom' sounded from in front of her. The impact sent her flying backwards and tumbling in the dirt before she finally came to a rest.
"Heh, oops." a nervous, yet cheerful, voice sounded from i front of the purple unicorn. "Guess I put too much powder in it, this time. Anyway, hi! My name's Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised, were you, were you? Huh huh huh?"
"Fuck that hurt!" Twilight Sparkle groaned, rolling over and getting back to her hooves.
"My, such foul language! And to think she came from Canterlot- Celestia's star student!" a white Unicorn with an elegantly styled mane whispered.
Twilight immediately disliked her.
"What the hell is this supposed to be? Do you even have a permit for that thing?" Twilight Sparkle began, motioning at the piles of confetti around her and the balloons inside before pointing her hoof at Pinkie's Party Cannon.
"This is a surprise party, silly filly! I heard that you were coming and I didn't know you and if I didn't know you that meant you were new to Ponyville and if you're new to Ponyville then you must not have any friends and if you don't have any friends then you must be so sad and that just made me so sad and so I planned a party and invited everypony in town so that you could have some friends and then you wouldn't be so sad anymore!" Pinkie Pie explained hurriedly in one giant breath.
"...Alright, now would somepony who's not jacked up on cocaine explain to me what's going on?" Twilight asked.
Giving a sigh, the white unicorn from before took a few steps forward. "Pinkie Pie planned a party for you so that you would feel welcomed in Ponyville, but obviously that hasn't gone over too well." she explained, rolling her eyes and flipping her hair back before beginning to disperse with the rest of the gathered ponies.
Before long, all that remained were Pinkie Pie, Spike, an orange Earth Pony with a blonde mane hidden under a cliche cowpony hat, and Twilight Sparkle herself.
"Well, howdy there, Miss Twilight." the orange pony said warmly, extending her hoof. "Not how ah expected this party tuh go over, but at least Pinkie ain't havin' a fit now. Name's Applejack, an' I run Sweet Apple Acres with mah brother, Big MacIntosh, mah little sister, Apple Bloom, an' Granny Smith. Our stall's on the far end o' the street on market days, so be sure tuh keep an eye out fer us if'n ya want some quality apples!" Applejack said after gripping Twilight's hoof and shaking it firmly.
"Don't bother. I don't plan on staying here long, anyways."
As the cowpony trotted away, oblivious to Twilight's apparent rudeness, Twilight turned to face the only other pony remaining.
"So, did'ja make any new friends? Did you have fun, huh, huh, huh?" Pinkie Pie asked, bouncing around excitedly.
"Sweet Celestia," Twilight began rudely as she pushed open the door to the library. "What are you, the town crack whore, or something?"
Pinkie Pie gave a sort of snort-giggle as she bounced in after the purple Unicorn. "What's a crack whore? Is it a kind of dessert? Oh, I just love desserts! But not deserts! I hate deserts! They're so dry and big and too hot and nopony can ever have fun in a desert! Which is weird, 'cause lots and lots of ponies can have fun at the beach, which is kind of like a desert except there's lots of water nearby-"
Pinkie Pie's voice was cut off for the most part as Twilight Sparkle slammed the door in her face, leaving her to continue rambling on outside.
"Spike, take a letter to Princess Celestia." Twilight said as she trotted over to the numerous bookshelves.
"Dear Princess Celestia...I regret to inform you that your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, has recently murdered an annoying pink earth pony who won't shut the hell up about desserts and deserts, along with setting the entire town ablaze. Ponyville remains no longer, and I am writing you from a barren hillside nearby as I prepare to end my meaningless life. Sincerely, a crazy pony who also once inhabited Ponyville- a town notorious for insane ponies."
Spike stared at Twilight in an unamused manner for a good three seconds before he began to scribble down a letter of his own.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Spike, here, writing to inform you that Twilight is having a rough time settling in. She was hit in the chest with a ball of confetti fired from a canon, which I believe the pony owning it does not have a permit for, upon arriving and forced the library full of ponies that had waited there to greet her warmly back onto the street. She's looking through the shelves right now, but I imagine she's going to close the library down for the rest of the day, if not the whole time she's here.
Your faithful student's assistant,
Spike
Taking in a huge breath of air, the little dragon suddenly spurt out a jet of green flame that enveloped the letter and magically transported it to the Princess.
"Every single book in this library is out of date by at least ten years." Twilight Sparkle said calmly as she turned to face Spike, a small smile played out across her face.
"Oh no...I know that look..." Spike said uneasily.
"Spike, take a letter."
"But I just sent one!"
"I don't give a fuck."
Clearing her throat, Twilight Sparkle began. "Dear Princess Celestia. Since I no longer have any of my technological devices, and am forbidden from acquiring new ones, I will be including another scroll detailing the contents of the Ponyville Central Library- pointing out which books are incredibly out of date, and therefore giving ponies horribly inaccurate information. As part of your plan to properly educate Equestria, I feel you would be doing this town a favor. I would have simply used my hooftop to order all of the books online but, since I am unable to do that now, I am instead choosing to go through you. Have a fabulous rest of the day, Princess."
Smirking smugly as Spike sent the letter away, Twilight turned to begin having Spike write down the names of the needed literature.
Not soon after they began, the purple and green dragon let out a belch- announcing the arrival of the Princess's response.
"Dear Twilight, I would be more than happy to restock the Ponyville Central Library. In addition to settling our finances, I have also taken the liberty of writing down the names, locations, and occupations of the ponies within Ponyville that you will need to personally meet with in order to ensure that the Summer Sun Celebration goes as planned. Enjoy. Your loyal teacher, Princess Celestia." Spike read aloud.
After finishing the letter, Spike let out another burp, producing a long parchment that rolled open, showing that it was several feet long.
"That bitch." Twilight groaned.
"Alright, who's next on the list?" Twilight asked with a sigh as Spike shifted into a more comfortable position on her back.
They had been all over Ponyville for the remainder of the day, talking to every pony on the list about what they were doing for the celebration and how it was coming along.
"There are only five names left." Spike said encouragingly as he noticed the sun beginning to touch the mountaintops of Canterlot. "Rainbow Dash, a light-blue Pegasus mare with a rainbow colored mane who's supposed to be preforming with some other Pegasi in an aerial show. She lives above Ponyville in the highest cloud house, just before Cloudsdale."
Groaning at the distance she would have to travel in order to find the mare, in addition to the magic she'd have to use in order to get into the air in the first place, Twilight Sparkle wanted nothing more than to simply fall asleep right then and there.
"And then there's Pinkie Pie, a pink Earth Pony with a dark pink mane who's helping with the entertainment. She lives at Sugarcube Corner. Next, we have Rarity; a white coated Unicorn with a purple mane who will be making costumes for the play, as well as decorating the entire town. She lives where she works: Carousel Boutique. Then, there's a yellow Pegasus with a light-pink mane ho lives on the edge of the Everfree Forest, and she'll be letting her trained pet birds announce Princess Celestia's arrival."
"Sounds childish. And the last pony?"
"An orange Earth Pony named Applejack, who lives on her family's farm; Sweet Apple Acres. She'll be the main one handling all the food related stuff for the celebration."
"Great. I get to deal with a crack whore, a hillbilly, an animal right's activist, a 'high and mighty' dressmaker, and an athlete who probably thinks she's 'all that'."
"You know, it wouldn't kill you to be a bit nicer."
"...You're right, Spike. I'm sorry, it's just that today has been incredibly long, boring, and tiring. Right now, I just want to get these ponies done with so I can go to sleep and then wake up back in Canterlot." Twilight said with a sigh.
"Then we should probably head to Sugar Cube Corner, first, seeing as it's the closest."
"And deal with that hyper active crack addict? No way. She's last on the list. Where's Carousel Boutique?"
"Take a guess." Spike said flatly, pointing his claw over Twilight's head and towards the tall, two story building that sported three carousal'd pony mannequins.
"You know, it's kind of funny." Twilight said boredly as the pair approached the shop.
"What is?"
"The fact that this snobby dressmaker has carousal'd ponies in her architecture, considering that carousaling used to be a medieval torture technique put in place by the nobles."
"Only you would know that, Twilight." Spike said with a sigh.
"Maybe, but it just goes to show how uneducated this place is. Thank Celestia's juicy flank I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Whoa, I really didn't need an excerpt from one of your clopfics, Twi'!" Spike said in disgust, opting to walk the rest of the way and hopping off the Unicorn's back.
With a roll of her eyes, Twilight Sparkle trotted forward and knocked on the door to the building.
Not a moment after she had, a cheerful, sing-song voice replied with an earnest "Coming!", and the door opened after that.
"Oh. It's you." The white Unicorn answered flatly as she took in the sight of the snobby purple Unicorn from before.
"Rarity, I presume?" Twilight questioned boredly, to which Rarity nodded curtly.
"Is there something I can assist you with? I don't really take you for one to be wearing dresses, seeing as how you never came prepared to the last six Grand Galloping Gala's." Rarity quipped, batting her eyelids with a smug smirk.
"Oh, yea. I never got dressed up because I didn't want to miss out on seeing you faceplant into the punch bowl again." Twilight replied cheerfully.
Rarity glared and blushed furiously; a slight growl making itself known in her throat as she went to address the Unicorn once more. "Is there something I can help you with, today, Miss Sparkle?"
"One of the reasons I'm here is to check up on the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. If I understand correctly, you're dressing up foals and having them dance around on a stage for the Princess?"
Rarity snorted and promptly took a step backwards; back into her home and workplace. "I'll have you know I was one of those foals, once, Miss Sparkle. And the costumes are coming along quite fine."
And with that, the white Unicorn slammed the door in Twilight's snout- effectively announcing an end to their conversation and leaving the purple Unicorn to stand in the dry dirt that was the pathway back into town.
"Well, that went over well..." Spike mumbled.
"I think she broke my nose..." Twilight Sparkle announced sadly as she gently rubbed her aching snout; awkwardly walking along back out of town once more and towards the north-east part of Ponyville.
"You know, for a farming family, Applejack didn't name that many ponies." Spike stated curiously.
"Good. Less bullshit to put up with. How much farther until we're there?"
"'Till yer where? If'n yer lost, Ah c'n point ya anywhere yer heart desires." a familiar country voice offered helpfully.
"Can you tell me which way to hell?" Twilight Sparkle grumbled darkly.
"What was that?"
"She said we were actually looking for you!" Spike interrupted quickly, hoping to avoid yet another conflict- if even minor. "Princess Celestia sent Twilight here to oversee preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. You and your family are in charge of food, right?"
"As sure as Ah am orange!" Applejack replied happily, trotting forward from her leaning position against a tree.
"You'd look better black and blue..." Twilight offered silently from behind Spike, who jabbed her with his elbow before turning back to Applejack.
"Don't mind her," he started. "She's just upset because she's bored. So, I trust you and your family have everything squared away for the celebration?"
"Ya c'n always count on us Apples, li'l scaly critter! Why, we may be a small family, but that jus' means we work twice as hard!"" Applejack replied proudly.
"Good. Since that's settled, we'll just be on our way-" Twilight began happily, for once, before she was interrupted.
"Hey, sis! Whose that yer talkin' to?" A yellow-green little filly with a giant red bow shouted excitedly as she bounded out of the nearby bushes and began circling Twilight.
"This farm is pretty big." Twilight whispered to Spike. "It would take the authorities some time before they could find any bodies."
With a deep sigh, Spike shook his head softly as Applejack replied to her little sister. "Well, this 'ere is Miss Twilight Sparkle; Celestia's number one student! Apple Bloom, y'all best be usin' yer manners around 'er; don't want you tuh leave a bad impression on th' Princess fer when 'er student gets back, ya hear?"
"Oh, wow! That must mean yer like, royalty, or somethin'! Right?!" Apple Bloom shouted excitedly, bouncing round the purple unicorn.
As Twilight began imagining all of the things she would do and be able to do if she was royalty with a terrifying grin, Spike quickly diverted the topic back onto something more relevant before Twilight could have a chance to utter a crafty reply and scar a small child for life.
"Actually, we're here to oversee preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. Applejack said she's got it covered, so we'll just be leaving now."
As the little dragon turned to leave, snapping Twilight from her evil thoughts, a small sniffle could be heard behind the pair.
"Aren't ya gonna stay fer brunch?" Apple Bloom asked with wide, teary eyes as a look of unimaginable horror crept onto Twilight's snout.
"Spiiiiiiiiike!" Twilight moaned in pain as the pair dragged themselves along the dirt road out of town and towards the Everfree Forest. "Spiiiiiiike, I think they poisoned the pies!"
Meanwhile, beside the purple unicorn writhing in agony, Spike was walking awkwardly with a distorted belly and belching every few seconds. "Too... Much... Pie... Sugar... Overdose..."
In the distance sat a small, hobbit-looking cottage with a yellow and pink head peering out the window. After the little dragon collapsed into a spasming heap of scales, the head disappeared and came rushing out of the house attached to the body of a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane.
"Oh, my, you're sick! Q-Quick, I'll get you inside and then get you both some medicine!" the small-framed pony began stammering as she helped Twilight to her feet and set Spike on her back - guiding both of them back inside her cottage slowly.
When they arrived, Spike promptly fell face first into the floor and Twilight collapsed onto the couch, moaning in pain.
"I'll go get you some medicine, you must've eaten something horrible!" the Pegasus said in worry before dashing off into the garden and leaving the pair groaning in her living room.
Not long after she left, and Twilight began closing her eyes did she feel something pelt her in the forehead.
Her eyes flicking opened revealed a stern looking rabbit with crossed arms and a glare that could stun mice. The rabbit stomped its foot impatiently while pointing at Twilight, then the floor, then itself, then the couch.
In response, Twilight threw up on the rabbit, which caused him to cry out in fear and disgust and begin flailing his little paws as he tried to escape and get himself clean.
"Angel Bunny, what's wrong?" the Pegasus asked softly as she returned with two buckets and a jar of some sticky looking syrup.
Upon seeing her beloved animal covered in vomit, the mare held her snout tightly to block out the smell and keep her own lunch within her belly.
She hurriedly set the buckets in front of her guests and slowly but gently forced the ipecac syrup down their throats before stepping back.
The baby dragon was the first to give way, his bucket nearly filling after a few seconds as green flames began spurting from the sides of his mouth until he stopped vomiting. Now, however, his eyes were wide in fear as he whispered "Oh shit.".
Twilight was next, her bucket filling up more slowly. The Unicorn groaned weakly and lay limp on the couch for a moment or two before the Pegasus hurried off outside with the buckets.
A furious looking, soaking-wet-but-clean-of-vomit looking rabbit came stomping inside the house as soon as the yellow mare had exited. It stormed its way up to the still groaning Unicorn and threw another carrot at her stupid pony head in rebuttal for the previous attack, to which Twilight responded with a vomit artillery strike - leaving her foe defeated once more and flailing yet again.
Now feeling a lot better than before, Twilight sat up on the couch and took in her surroundings slowly.
Her head spun, but she could clearly make out the defeated rabbit rolling around on the floor, Spike with darting, terror-filled eyes, and the yellow Pegasus now returning without the buckets.
"A-Are you feeling any better? D-Do I need to get more buckets? P-Please stop throwing up on Angel..." the mare whimpered shyly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Twilight replied groggily. "Thanks, for whatever you did. I take it you're Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy simply nodded once, curtly, and avoided making eye contact.
After a moment or two of awkward silence, Twilight spoke up. "Are... Are you alright?"
"Y-Yes... I'm just not used t-to having guests, is all..."
"Oh. Well, I'm just here to oversee preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. If you can just give me a demonstration of your birds, I'll be out of your mane in-" Twilight began calmly, surprised and relieved at how quick this would be, until Fluttershy tackled her and held her cheeks tightly.
"NO YOU CAN'T SEE THEM THEY'RE NOT READY EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PERFECT AND THEY'RE NOT READY COME BACK LATER MAYBE THEY'LL BE READY THEN BYE." Fluttershy screamed before hyperventilating and pushing Twilight and Spike outside, slamming the door in the Unicorn's face.
"Fuck, my nose!"
"Just Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie left. Still want to do Pinkie last?" Spike said uneasily as the pair entered town once more.
"Yes, Spike. Dealing with a hyperactive blabbermouth who shoots confetti is the last thing on my list. Now, where did Princess Celestia say Rainbow Dash lived?"
"Why do you want to know where I live? Are you with the Wonderbolts? Are you here to recruit me? Wait, no you're not; you don't have wings, but you're from Canterlot, aren't you? So, maybe?" Rainbow Dash began excitedly as she dropped down from her cloud and pressed her face close to Twilights'.
"Hey, personal space Miss LGBT." Twilight replied, pushing Rainbow Dash back a few steps.
"Ugh! I'm not gay! Why does everypony keep thinking that?!"
"Really? You really have no idea?" Twilight said, unamusedly.
"No, seriously! Tell me!"
The purple Unicorn and the obviously-not-gay-yet-flamboyant Pegasus stood staring at each other for a few seconds before Twilight cleared her throat. "I'm here to see how your performance is coming along for the Summer Sun Celebration."
"So you are with the Wonderbolts! Sweet!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, celebrating with a fist pump before soaring up into the sky. "Watch this, and you'll see how I'm doing!"
Twilight raised an eyebrow curiously before the blur Pegasus became a blur of colors soaring around in the sky, forming words that lasted for a second before fading and didn't last in Twilight's mind.
When the aerial ace landed, she was met with a stunned expression adorning the Unicorn's face.
"...T-That was incredible, I mean, I couldn't really make out the words, but still!" Twilight stammered as she fed Rainbow's ego.
"Yeah, I am pretty fast, aren't I?"
"I think you should slow down a bit."
"...Say again?"
"I said, I think you should slow down a bit, though." Twilight noted. "While your speed was impressive, the magic at the end of your tail that gives off that trail you leave behind only radiates off for about a foot. And since you're already gone from that spot in less than a second, nopony will have time to be able to read what you wrote in the sky."
Rainbow Dash opened her mouth to yell at the purple Unicorn for daring to tell her how to fly, and for telling her to slow down, but no words came out.
Her heart was angry, but her mind knew Twilight was right.
Instead of continuing the conversation, the Pegasus flew off grumpily, leaving Twilight and Spike following the rainbow trail with their eyes.
"I don't think she took that well." Spike said a bit sadly.
"She'll get over it. Anyway, who's next?"
"You sure you want to know?"
"Oh, dear, sweet Celestia..." Twilight muttered as she turned to view Sugarcube Corner.
The building may have looked sweet and innocent, complete with a cupcake topping the roof, but Twilight Sparkle knew that it housed one of the most sinister beings in all of Equestria and served as her wicked lair. Her point was proven as a thundercloud went off in the distance, but that turned out to be just Rainbow Dash venting.
Giving a nervous gulp, Twilight Sparkle held her ground.
"Come on, Twilight. This is the last thing on the list and then you can sleep until tomorrow night."
"I fear no pony. But that thing... It scares me." Twilight whimpered softly.
"Oh, come on, Twilight! You know what? Fine; I'll go in and check on the preparations. You can stay out here and be a little scaredy cat." Spike said with a huff as he stormed off into the store, the soft jingle of the doorbell sounding as it opened to welcome the foolish dragon into its' waiting belly.
"Valete, nobilis draco..." Twilight whispered calmly before galloping off excitedly towards the library - and her bed.
"Zzz..."
"Twilight? Are you home? Pinkie gave me some awesome cupcakes, and I thought you might- oh." Spike said as he climbed the stairs to see Twilight Sparkle sprawled out in her bed, snoring peacefully with her pillow on the bookshelf and blanket stuck in the window, somehow.
Spike smiled a small little smile before leaving the box of cupcakes on the nightstand and making his way back downstairs, where he sat at the living room/main library floor table and unfurled a scroll; dipping his quill in a pot of ink after lighting a lantern to fight back the night.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Twilight is fitting in rather well so far. The preparations are all accounted for, except possibly for the bird choir (but really, how important is that, anyway, considering you'll have trumpet blowers?). Turns out there is a computer shop in town, but I managed to steer her clear of it the entire day. I can't quite place my claw on it, but somehow I think this place will turn out to be good for Twilight and I. I can see her making friends fast, and it will turn out for the better. See you tomorrow night.
Your faithful students' assistant,
SpikeP.S. SORRY FOR PUKING ON YOU
