It was a normal morning at the royal castle. The guards were standing politely beneath me on either side, more guards were stationed outside on both sides of the door, and even more were positioned all throughout the structure.
I was going through some royal paperwork when a flame came through the open window. The flame fluttered down right in front of me and magically turned into a piece of parchment with a seal on the front that pictured a starburst surrounded by five other smaller starbursts, my faithful student, Twilights, cutie mark.
When I saw the mark I thought ‘oh, Twilight must have learned something about friendship.’ when I opened the letter the first thing I noticed was the rushed handwriting, Twilight would never write like this unless she was in a huge hurry.
I then proceeded to read the letter. I read it once, then twice, then a third time. I made sure that what I was reading the right words, it wasn’t exactly neat. After the third read I made sense of them. To my understanding, she wants to know if I had met Dillon the human yet and if she can come and see him in Canterlot. I considered this.
Then I wrote her back saying that she could come and visit, I would even send chariots for her and her friends, and that I was looking forward to seeing her. After I sent this letter I sent for the guard to send six chariots to six different houses. When that was done I continued going through my paperwork.

“Twilight, what did that letter say?” spike asked me after he burnt it.
“It’s none of your concern.” I responded and walked away, Fixinit was now at the door “I'm not done with you yet.” He rushed back downstairs.
When I got back down there he was sitting on the couch with his hooves on his lap. I started pacing in front of him.
“So you knew nothing about this.” He shook his head vigorously “I'm really sorry I dragged you into this.” I sat down next to him.
“It’s fine, this means that Dillon never left you, he just got caught up in out-of-state activities and you lost the note telling you what was going on. It’s not your fault.”
“Thank you for understanding, Fixinit.” We heard a burping noise come from upstairs and a minute later Spike came down holding a letter with a sun stamp emblazoned on it.
I opened the letter, read it, and then handed it to Fixinit to read. He looked a little confused at the letter and looked to me for an explanation. I read the letter to him and explained what was going on.
There was a minute of awkward silence “so… I'm going to see my old boyfriend…”
“I don’t suppose that we could both have you.” he seemed to already know the answer.
“No, I'm sorry, but I guess this means that this is over. Me and you, I mean.”
“Yeah, I guess. At least it didn’t end the way I always thought it would.” I looked at him.
“And what was that?” he looked back at me.
“You dump me because you learned every little detail about me.” He smiled.
“Like that would happen.” We both started laughing.
“Well… we should start getting packed.”
“Yes we should.” Then we went upstairs and started packing things for the upcoming trip.
We never got around to going to Fluttershy’s house. We packed and got ready all day. When we finally finished getting everything set up for the trip we made lunch and ate. After lunch it was 2:30, Fixinit had to leave for work and wouldn’t be back until 8:00. He left and I started back on my most recent studies.

Today Fixinit was waiting at my door with his head down in thought.
“Hello, what’s got your mind so occupied?” I asked.
“Hey Turner, I'm just thinking about tomorrow. Hey, do you mind if I have tomorrow off?”
“Is it to go on a date Twilight?” he looked up at me.
“Not really, I'm going to Canterlot with her.”
“I ask because the last guy that went on a date with her disappeared.”
“You mean Dillon?” I nodded.
“He asked just like you and the next few days he didn’t show up. He hasn’t shown up yet. In fact, I don’t think anypony's seen him since.” I unlocked the door.
“Well Twilight is going to see him in Canterlot.”
“You mean they found him? That’s great! Tell him he’s almost three weeks late for work.” We entered my small shop.
“I’ll be sure to do that.” He assured me.
We worked several hours on different clocks, he even worked over his break just to get tomorrows work done. when 8 rolled around I told him it was closing time, he told me to go, that he would lock up for the night.
“That’s a mistake I won’t make again. Dillon did the same thing the day he disappeared. I feared it might have something to do with it, the shop closes now.” I proceeded to drag him out of the store and lock the door behind me “plus I had to get a new key when he didn’t return the original.”
“Fair enough.” He stated and started to walk away.
“Hey, Fixinit.” I called after him.
“Yeah?” he calls back.
“Promise me you’ll come back.” He starts laughing.
“I promise.” And with that he walked away.

I stayed up until Fixinit came back, last time I fell asleep before Dillon could get home and then he disappeared. Luckily Fixinit didn’t stay for some extra hours and came home on time.
“Honey, I'm home!” he called into the house.
“Fixinit-” I started, he cut me off.
“Sorry, you’re not my honey anymore. I forgot there for a minute.”
“Yeah, it’s ok; we should get ready for dinner.”
“yeah.” then we walked into the kitchen.
Laid out on the table was each of our favorite dishes. Spike had made it just for us.
“Thanks, Spike, we really appreciate this.” I told him.
“You're welcome.” he bowed.
“Give my complements to the chef.” Fixinit said in a sort of fancy way.
“Thank you, kind sir.” He responded in a Prench accent.
“You’re very welcome.” And we all sat down and started to dig in.
