The past, the present and the future, one of them set in stone, the other two moving around with each second...
But dwell too long in one, and you will loose your mind...
“Now then Owly, will you take care of the house while I am gone?” echoed through the treelibrary as Twilight found herself standing by the door, ready to make her departure. The pet owl flew up to her and nuzzled her cheek a little bit while letting out a confirming ‘who’.
“No Owlowiscious, not ‘who’...” spoke Spike in a slightly annoyed tone as he hugged the foreleg of the mare who began to chuckle softly at all the affection.
“Uhm, guys, I am only gone for a couple hours, not days.” But neither of the two cared for it as they kept hugging and nuzzling. “Alright, that is enough, otherwise I am going to be late, now we can not have that, can we?” The both of them released her with a smile and she trotted out of the library, humming happily to herself while waving back to them.
But once she was out of sight, Spike closed the door and chuckled softly in himself. “When Twilight is gone, Spike dances on the table.” And before the owl could even react, he was gone into his basket and pulled the blanket over him in order to take a deep nap. The owl set himself on the stand as his right wing planted itself in the face, shaking his head in it.
As Twilight was walking through the streets, one familiar Unicorn got caught in her eyes, a Unicorn with a white/grayish coat, mane of deep purple with a amazing curl in them and warm, inviting sapphire blue eyes. An incarnation of what many would believe by the definition of ‘true beauty’. The Unicorn living under the name of Rarity, the Element of Generosity.
“Hey Rarity, going to the party of Fluttershy as well?” the lavender mare asked as she walked up to her.
The mare her ears turned themselves into the direction of Twilight before her head did the same. “Hm? Oh yes, yes I am. It is quite the odd thing for her to do such a thing all of the sudden, what do you think her reason for it might be darling?”
“There you ask me quite the lot...” They began to walk together, continuing on towards their destination. “...I suppose the best thing is to just wait and see for herself.”
Rarity gave a small nod with her head as her eyes turned themselves back into the cloudless skies, bathing gently into the warm rays of the sun as they fell down upon the land. “I guess that is indeed the best we can do. Maybe we meet the others on the way there as well.”
A soft chuckle left Twilight as she gently gave a nudge to the white mare. “Who knows.”
But as much as they wanted to meet the rest of their friends, things didn’t turn out as they wanted for Applejack was still sweating on the farm, rounding up the final chores to do before refreshing herself. Pinkie was still busy baking the many cupcakes and pies for the Cakes who took care for their children. As for Rainbow Dash, well, she was napping in a tree on the Acres. Snoring quickly and hidden deep within the leaves of the mighty tree, making her practically invisible. “Woowie, final tree to buck today, then off to Fluttershy.” Applejack chuckled to herself while positioning herself so, so she could kick out the apples in one powerful stomp of her hindlegs. “One, two, three... Four!” With a crushing speed, the hoof of the cowgirl made contact with the trunk of the tree, sending the shock of impact through every single branch it had. Soon enough, many apples would fall down to the ground and into the cart she had with her. But next to apples, something else dropped to the ground as well. A much louder ‘thud’ followed up by an annoyed groan did its turn behind the tree.
The cowgirl blinked a couple times at the other sound while shaking her head. “What in tarnation...” Only then she moved over to the other side and saw Rainbow Dash rubbing her head. “Dash? What in the name of sanity are ya doing here?”
“Alright, alright, I was busy napping alright! Gimme a break will you.”
