//------------------------------// // The Beginning Day // Story: Twilight's New Friends // by TotallyNotCrawfish //------------------------------// "Uh, Twilight, are you OK?" asked Spike as he curiously looked at the pile of books on the purple unicorn's desk. Normally the desk is kept neatly organized. Twilight Sparkle, who was asleep on top of the mess, woke up startled. Her eyes were blood shot, hinting that she'd been up all night. Her mane would give Rarity a stroke in the condition it was in. It was as if her mane was defying gravity "Yeah Spike, I'm, um, OK," Twilight said, struggling to get up. Next time, Twilight thought to herself,I'll make sure to drink and extra cup of coffee. "Are you sure?" asked Spike, concerned about his friend's well being. "Do you need me to get you anything? You look awful!" "Yes Spike, I'm fine. Thanks for checking on me though. How long have I been studying?" "Uh, I don't know, three days maybe?" "No wonder I'm such a mess." "What were you studying for anyway?" asked Spike. Twilight froze. What was she studying for? It had been such a long night that she forgot the reason she was studying. Maybe I have a test next week in pony biology? Or I needed to catch up on some books from when I was sick with the pony pox last week. "I'm not sure. Maybe I need to eat some breakfast. Hopefully food will jog my memory." "I could definitely eat something right now," "Most of Ponyville's restraunts are closed this early though. We don't have any food to make a meal anyway, let alone a meal for two." "How about we go to Rarity's? I bet she'll have something for us to eat!" Spike suggested. Even though he knew the beautiful fashionably styled mare was too old for him, it never stopped him from dreaming. "Did you suggest that because you actually like Rarity's breakfast or because you want to harass her again?" Twilight smirked. A light purple unicorn unicorn picked herself up off the ground. Her eyes were green and mysterious, and her mane was a light blonde. In her mane was a white headband, which was helping keep stray strands of mane out of her face. Purple smoke covered the area in an eight foot radius. The unicorn shook a little dirt off her messy mane and grinned and pranced around. Her sister, who was laying on the ground covered in dirt and grass, rolled her eyes as she stood herself up too. "Dear sister, I told you the spell would work!" exclaimed the blonde unicorn. The other one, who look exactly like her sister except her mane was a light brown and she wasn't wearing a headband, was running her hooves through her mane trying to get out little chunks of dirt. "Yes, I know. For the record, though, you couldn't have done it without my help." The brown mane unicorn paused for a moment. "Now that we're here, what are we going to do?" "Well first, we should probably figure out where we are, don't you agree?" "Well there's a start." "We have finally succeeded, In what's gonna help us become! The greatest unicorns ever, So listen to me humm, I can't believe this is happening, a new world to manipulate around us! Full of excitement, and innocent ponies! To control them, we lust! Now follow me, my dear sister, and you will understand, along with me we'll take the laughter of this land." "Why hello darling! Finally decided to get that dress I suggested for you, yes?" asked Rarity. "Actually, we were wondering if you had any breakfast," Twilight explained with an awkward grin. She made it sound as though she only wanted to mooch food off of Rarity. "Why of course I do! I always cook breakfast every morning. Normally I give the leftovers to Opal, but I'm sure she won't mind if you have them." Rarity didn't seem offended at all. "Are you sure? What will Opal eat?" Twilight didn't want to take food from her friend's cat, as if the cat wasn't fed enough. "Opal can eat cat food. Won't you Opal dear?" Rarity cooed at the prissy cat. "Although, Twilight, I didn't expect you to be back from your meeting with the Princesses so soon." "WHAT? THAT WAS TODAY?" Twilight exclaimed. How could she have forgotten? This meeting was suppose to decide whether or not she'd advance to the next level of her training. There was even going to be a quiz! Without even telling Rarity goodbye, Twilight Sparkle headed out the door and to the train station.
