When we got home Twilight ran straight to her room, I tried to follow her without stepping on anypony. When I got to her room it was barricaded with around twenty different sleeping ponies. I didn’t dare yell to her, in fear of waking some of them. I decided it was best to just leave her be for the time being.
I searched the building for Spike, I needed to talk to the young dragon. When I did find him he was on one of the higher bookshelves asleep. I picked him up in my magical grasp and brought him down to the couch. When we got there I sat him down roughly. He woke up.
“Oof! Huh? What happened?”
“That’s what I would like to know.” I told him, he realized who he was talking to and started to panic.
“I swear, it was all Silver! He invited all of these ponies over!” him yelling woke up some of the sleeping ponies, some noticed what was going on and left as fast as possible, some fell back asleep instantly.
“Really, where is our friend Silver?” he looked around and started staring, I followed his eyes and saw the Pegasus on the counter in the kitchen, one hoof in the sink.
“See!” I was still skeptical.
“Silver doesn’t know anypony in Ponyville, he only just got here.” He was still convinced it was Silver.
“No, he really did! Go ask him, he’ll tell you everything!”
“Ok, I will, but one more thing, did you have any alcohol?” he shrank back just a little.
“Maybe a cup or two.” I facehoofed a little.
“I'm going to go talk to Silver.” I got up and walked into the kitchen, picked Silver up in a rough manner which pushed the mare that was half laying on top of him over, she didn’t wake up though; I sat him down next to Spike, he woke up.
“Carrot Top?” he muttered as he woke up, then noticed that I was not Carrot Top, he too started to freak “it was all Spike!” this woke up more ponies and they too either left or slept, Spike looked at Silver.
“No, it was you!” they started bickering back and forth.
“Both of you stop!” I yelled at them, they obeyed.
I took a minute to think, then I asked “who called all of these ponies?” they looked between each other.
“He did!” they said at the same time, pointing to the other.
“Don’t lie to me, do you want me to go get Twilight?” they both started to panic.
They looked at each other, then back to me. They huddled together for a minute talking amongst themselves. When they came back out they seemed a little calmer.
“Silver called all of the ponies, I sent the invitations.” Spike said.
“No, silly filly, I did.” Said a chipper voice from behind me, I tuned to see a pink mare with a pink mane; Pinky Pie.
“You did?” I asked the party pony.
“Yeah, they told me they were doing a party at the library and they needed my help to set it up so I called in the cavalry and we set this baby up in a matter of minutes, when that was done I went around town and knocked on everyponies door and told them there was a party at the library, most of them showed up and we threw the most bombastic fantastic awstastic party ever!!” she started jumping around as I looked at the two on the couch in front of me.
“Ok, if you guys can have this place cleaned up by noon ill forget it ever happened.” They looked ecstatic and started waking ponies up and sending them on their way immediately.
I went upstairs to start tearing down Twilights wall of flesh and try to talk to her. I started gently waking the ponies. About half way down I found a familiar one, Rainbow Dash.
“Rainbow, what are you doing here?” she looked up to me with a confused look.
“What are you doing home so early?”
“It would be better if Twilight told you that.” She got the point and went downstairs to help with the clean-up effort.
I got all of the ponies out of the way and got my nerve up to open the door. I cracked it open and looked inside. She was lying face down on her bed crying.
“Twilight?”
“GO AWAY!!!!” she yelled and threw a lamp at me; I shut the door and heard a smashing sound on the other side.
When I opened the door next I yelled “Twilight, whatever it is we can talk about it!”
“No we can't!” she threw another lamp.
“Yes, we can!”
“LEAVE ME ALONE!” she yelled as another lamp smashed against the door.
“How many damn lamps you got in there?” I yelled, in response another lamp flew into the closed door.
I waited a minute, then opened the door and walked in, my magic at the ready in case another projectile came my way. She was crying into her pillow.
“Twilight” she looked up at me, then rage deformed her face.
“I said get OUT!!” she yelled as a number of objects in the room floated above their previous resting places.
“I'm not leaving you, not now.” I told her in a calm voice.
“Dillon is gone.” she said, tears had been falling down her cheeks, and more were on the brink.
“But I will never go, even if you hate me for all of eternity.” I told her in the most determined voice I could muster. I started walking towards her; she raised the objects a little higher.
“But he’s still gone.” The tears broke their barrier and started falling freely, but she was still mad as ever.
“I would do anything to make him return.” I told her, still walking towards her.
“You don’t mean that.” She tried to look threatening.
“I do.” I was within hoofs reach of her, staring right into her beautiful, violet, pain-filled eyes. “I only want you to be happy, and if that means bringing him back, I would do anything.” I pulled her into a hug and waited for the beat of books and chairs against my body.
None came. Instead she started bawling openly into my shoulder. I stepped up onto the bed so we could be a little more comfortable, then we laid down.
We stayed like that until Twilight fell asleep, it had been a long day and she deserved a bit of rest. I slowly untangled our forelegs and left the room as silently as I could. When I was sure that I was in the clear I walked down to help Spike Silver and Rainbow with the books.
