Spike was asleep peacefully in his bed when suddenly a scream woke him. Spike literally lept out of bed to see what was wrong.
“WHAT!? IT CAN’T BE!” Twilight screamed. Spike’s heart began to pound as he thought something was wrong. He immediately rushed down stairs to see what wrong only to see that Twilight was still playing Goldenpony.
“Uhm…Twilight?” Spike asked in a very curious yet very tired voice. Twilight paused the game and looked back to her dragon.
“Oh hey Spike… sorry, did I wake you?” Twilight asked. Spike nodded and wondered what in all Equestria she would be doing up at… 2:30 in the morning!
“Uh… Twilight…it’s 2:30 in the morning” Spike told her and Twilight gasped as she realized what time it was.
“Oh my gosh! Whoops… he-he… guess I sort of over did it. Sorry, I finally found how to escape that blasted bunker without Natalya Mareanova (Mare-a-nova) dying… or her stopping to tell me ‘We should go to the main control room’” she replied.
Spike groaned as he rubbed his eyes in tiredness. “So…why were you screaming?” Spike asked and Twilight looked back to the screen.
“Remember Alec?” Twilight asked but Spike shook his head. “Oh…well he was my best friend in the beginning of the game and he was one of the good guys but he ended up getting shot by Ourumov. But he somehow survived and is the leader of Janus” Twilight told Spike and he raised an eyebrow.
“They’re the main bad guys in the game. They stole a helicopter” Twilight informed him. Spike scratched his head in confusion. Twilight shook her head, “Never mind, the point is Alec just betrayed me and I was so shocked that I accidentally screamed” Twilight apologized.
“Uhm…so are you going to bed?” Spike asked but Twilight looked back to the clock and shook her head.
“No, not yet. After this mission, I want to know what happens next” Twilight told him. Spike let out an exhausted sigh then began to walk back towards his bed. Before he proceeded to his bed he turned back to Twilight who was still playing.
“Goodnight Twilight err… I guess good morning” Spike said in an exhausted voice then proceeded to snuggle into his bed and pass out.

An hour later:
Twilight bit her lip so she didn’t yell in anger. She had beaten the level ‘Statue’ only to find that she and Mareanova get captured. So even though she said she’d go right to bed she still had to play the next level to find out what happens next.
But in the end it just proved to be ridiculously frustrating. She’d always escape captivity but then she’d go to rescue Natalya and then Natalya would die in some stupid way before she could rescue her.
This run through however she decided to go around the archives and shoot every-pony first that way no-pony would be able to kill Natalya when they went to escape.
Twilight finally killed every-pony in the archives except the two stallions in the room that were holding Natalya captive.
Twilight opened the door and killed the first stallion but as she turned to kill the second stallion she accidentally shot Natalya, killing her. Well actually it wasn’t really her fault the Klobb just had terrible spread and completely strayed off target and hit Natalya in the head.
Twilight’s face went red with anger as she clicked ‘Abort mission’ then restarted the entire level. She blasted through the level again and made sure she had a more accurate gun when she saved Natalya.
She finally saved Natalya without her dying and blasted through the windows of the library to escape. She let out a relieved sigh as she finally completely the mission. Her body felt exhausted and she let out a yawn then wiped the tears from her eyes that had emulated during long yawn of exhaustion.
As she took her hooves away from her eyes she looked to the clock to realize it was 4:03am. Twilight gasped in shock as she realized she had completely forgotten to go to bed. ‘How do you forget to go to sleep?’ Twilight wondered to herself then figured while she was up she might as well go grocery shopping just to get it out of the way.
Twilight yawned again then quickly left the library and proceeded to the local grocery mart to pick up some food and baking supplies. In her extreme exhaustion from staying up all night she could barely think straight. She entered the mart and grabbed a shopping cart then began pushing it around.
“Uhm… okay…we need…” Twilight mumbled to herself as she yawned again then rubbed more tears from her eyes. In her lack of attention, or maybe it was train of thought, she just trotted along with the shopping cart and tossed random things into the cart that she figured they’d need.
“Soda? Yeah… yeah we like soda…crackers-n-cheese…yeah…ohh Spike likes muffins…or is that Derpy?...ohh and were can never go without Twinkies” Twilight muttered to herself as she tossed random things into her shopping cart.
Twilight figured she’d finally gotten enough and went to the checkout. There was Pinkie Pie, bouncing around erratically as she had a bag of flour checked through.
Pinkie noticed Twilight in her tired daze. “Oh hey-yah Twi! What are you doing up so early?” Pinkie asked in her usual bubbly voice. Twilight just mumbled a response.
“I…I needed to get some groceries” Twilight mumbled exhaustedly. Pinkie looked into her cart to see the random assortment of ‘groceries’. Pinkie scrunched her nose.
“Are you having a party?” Pinkie asked then gasped at the thought of a party today. Twilight groaned in exhaustion as Pinkie began to bounce around screaming “PARTY!”
“Maybe…later though…like in the afternoon” Twilight replied. Pinkie paid for the flour she had bought then bounced off. Twilight paid for her groceries and it came to just over 70 bits which made her curious because it usually came to a little bit more.
She brushed off the thought and paid for the groceries. The store attendant put the groceries in bags then handed them over to Twilight who grabbed them in a magical aura and trotted off tiredly.
She finally arrived back at the library and immediately put the ice-cream in the freezer but left the rest of the groceries in their bags and flopped down on the couch. Almost immediately she passed out.

9:58am, Ponyville library:
Spike let out a deep yawn as he awoke peacefully… wait… “I woke up naturally…” Spike trailed off as he looked over to his alarm clock to see that it was pretty much ten in the morning.
Spike literally lept out of bed as he realized that something must’ve been wrong. Twilight always woke him up in the morning to door his morning chores. He raced down stairs to see what was wrong, only to see Twilight passed out on the couch with groceries still in bags.
Spike shrugged. ‘Well at least she got the groceries’ Spike thought to himself as he casually walked down to put away the groceries. He picked up the grocery bags without looking into them and walked over to the kitchen to begin putting them away.
He opened the first bag. “Cake…crackers and cheese…cinnamon buns… Doritos… well this must’ve been the sweets bag” Spike muttered to himself as he began placing the assortment of treats and pastries away.
He opened the second bag. “More Doritos… apple fritters… doughnuts… brownies… must’ve been more sweets” Spike assured himself as he began to place these sweets away.
He opened the third bag that had flour in it with a bag of apples and another bag of oranges. He nodded to himself in thought that it was sheer luck that the first two bags he unloaded were the sweets bags.
He put away the flour, oranges and apples then opened the fourth bag. His jaw dropped. “Muffins…Cheezies…cupcakes…chocolate cupcakes…butter tarts” Spike muttered in confusion and his face became one of extreme curiosity.
“Okay Spike think… Twilight never buys this many sweets” Spike said as he looked over to the final grocery bag. Even if it had the rest of the groceries were proper like: baking soda, milk, cereal etc. that still meant that Twilight had bought more sweets and goodies than proper food.
Spike opened the final bag. Inside was six boxes of Twinkies and two six packs of soda. “Okay…something’s wrong… I’ll ask Twilight when she gets up” Spike muttered as he began to put away the ‘groceries’.
