As Spike was flying, all he could think about was Rarity.
I wonder why Rarity came to the library, she usually sends me a letter when she wants to meet up. Besides she’s usually so busy with her business. Well it helps I gradually and slowly gave up on my feelings for her. I knew it wouldn’t work out, we are both just too different for it to work. She’s a pony, I’m a dragon. We’re not so different age wise, but I still don’t feel as though it would work out. But enough with those thoughts. I’m glad to be going, it’ll be nice to see Twilight again. I haven’t seen her in ages. She hasn’t visited Ponyville in over a year now. Oh well, that only means we have more to catch up on.
Spike could see Canterlot in the distance.
Well Twilight I’ll be seeing you soon.
Spike arrived at Canterlot, he made his way to the castle. He walked up to the guards at the entrance.
“Hi Spike, Princess Twilight, Celestia and Luna are waiting for you in the throne room.”
“Thanks.” The guards moved aside.
“Before I go in, were you informed on what’s going on?”
“We were told not to tell you anything as Princess Twilight wants to inform you on the details herself.”
“Thanks for the help.”
“I apologize I could not be of more help.”
“That’s alright, you have a job to do.”
Spike walked in, making his way to the throne room. As Spike walked into the throne room, he could feel hooves being wrapped around his legs. He looked down to see his old friend Twilight.
“Spike I am so happy to see you! I’ve missed you.” Tears forming around her eyes. Spike bent down to hug her back.
“I missed you too Twilight, the library feels so empty ever since you left.”
“Hi Spike.” Both princesses said.
“Hi Luna, hi Celestia.”
Twilight walked up to the both of them.
“I’m going to bring Spike into my quarters to discuss the matter.”
“Alright, we’ll call you if your assistance is required.”
“Sounds good.”
Twilight returned to Spike.
“We have so much to catch up on tonight since my last visit, but right now we need to talk about the situation at hand.”
“What is the matter that is so important that I had to be here ASAP?”
“Well Spike, follow me to my room, and I’ll explain everything.”
Spike followed Twilight to her room.
Finally, I’ll find out what the heck is going on.
Spike was interrupted by Twilight.
“Is everything alright Spike? You’re more quiet than usual.”
“I’m fine, I was just thinking about how I’ll finally find out what’s going on.”
“I’m glad to hear that, as I will need your one hundred and ten percent investment in this matter.”
They both arrived at Twilight’s room. Twilight used her magic to open the door. They both walked in and Twilight locked the door and placed a sound barrier.
“Alright I placed a sound barrier so we can talk in privacy. Not even the princess can hear us.”
“Sounds good to me.” Spike said as he sat beside Twilight on her bed. He placed his left hand on Twilight’s back and made comforting circular motions, like old times. Twilight responded by leaning her head on his shoulder.
“I miss the old days Spike, before I became an alicorn.”
“So do I Twilight. I miss the days of chaos when you had free time and Needed to schedule Something.” Spike chuckled under his breath.
“Haha, very funny, well I remember when a certain dragon was dependant on me for many things growing up.” It was Twilight’s turn to chuckle under her breath.
“I miss having you around in the library, no matter how OCD you were, you were like a mother to me.”
“I miss being there too Spike, I really do.” Twilight said, as memories of them when they were younger filled her head. Twilight snapped out of it, not wanting to make Spike feel awkward.
“So how are things with Rarity?”
“They’re going good. For a few years now, I stopped trying to go after her and decided to stay as friends. I slowly let go of those feelings.”
“I’m glad to hear that Spike. You did the right thing, and besides, there are plenty of ponies and dragons. I’m sure you’ll find the perfect one.”
“Thanks Twilight, but we’ll have plenty of time to have this conversation later, right now we need to talk about the matter at hand.”
“You’re right Spike. Are you ready, because you have a decision to make at the end of this.”
“I’m ready!”
“Great, here’s the situation… the dragons have claimed war against us.”
Spike was in utter shock.
“What! Why?”
“Well, according to the dragons, they caught a pony stealing dragon eggs multiple times now. We don’t know who it is, but they are fed up, and they wanted to declare a war, unless we hand the pony over. As I mentioned earlier, we don’t know who it is, so we can’t hand him over, and it’s too late to prevent the war. This is where you come in. We need your help, we need you in our army if we want to stand a chance. Now I would be with you as your war buddy the whole time and of course there’ll be training to keep you up to peek condition. So, what do you say Spike?”
“Of course I’ll help. You’re my best friend Twilight, I’ll be there for you all the time.” He said as he hugged her.
“Thank you Spike, I am so relieved to hear that.” Twilight returned the hug.
“Years later, and now that you're an Alicorn and you still need my help Twilight.” Spike giggled.
“Haha very funny Spike.” Twilight chuckled.
“For that you have to sleep here with me tonight.”
“Are you sure it’s not because you want it to be like the old days?” Spike smirked.
“Okay, you caught me. So sue me.” Twilight giggled.
“Maybe I will, Celestia is near here.” He added.
“Well I am the judge of the court, so I overrule you. What now mister dragon?”
“Well in that case, I use a tickle attack.” Spike started to tickle her, knowing where her sweet spots are.
“Spike… stop… it… please… mercy.” Twilight said in between the laughter.
“Alright, but I want a bed if I’m going to sleep here.”
“How about we sleep in the same bed, like when you were young?”
“It’s fine with me, as long as I’m in a bed.”
They both got in the bed and got comfy.
Spike gave Twilight a kiss on the cheek.
“Goodnight Twilight.”
“Goodnight Spike.”
A few minutes later, snoring could be heard.
