Orders and gifts part 2
Twilight finished reading the letter that, from what she could tell, bore the official seal of princess Luna.
“Spike what exactly did you do the past couple of days?” Twilight asked suspicious of the letter. “And start from the beginning.”
“Well, you see... I really shouldn’t be telling you this, but I trust you Twi, so...” he took a deep breath and prepared to tell his story.
“Last week I went over to Zecora so that she could help me control my powers, and she placed me in a magic circle where I did nothing but talk to myself only I did not talk to myself I talked with Zecora and a giant monkey named Imamu. Then I slept with Apple Bloom, and the next morning after I ate some strange fruit that tasted amazing Zecora tossed me into her pot and put the lid on.” He paused to catch his breath. “Then I found myself in a caved filled with gold and gems and lava was flowing from the walls and it felt sort of good, but not really. Then I found Rarity trapped inside a giant snow globe, only it did not have any snow. And I got her out and we...” He paused. “Umm... we stood there for some time... until the voice told me how we can escape and I saved her but I... I fell into lava and it burned, even if it wasn’t supposed to burn since I am a dragon and all, but I still burned and then I woke up and Zecora was doing something to her pot and then you teleported in and I told you that you looked like a chicken then you got mad and we went home and it was...”
“Stop right there.” Twilight interrupted him. “What are you talking about?”
“You told me to start from the beginning.”
“I meant since you left three days ago,” she clarified.
“Oh! Right... So after I left you to deal with the mess you made, I headed over to meet Apple Bloom but she was already gone, so I went over to Zecora’s, only I did not know the way so the voice game me a map of the Everfree and I reached her hut in no time at all. There I found Apple Bloom covered in... stuff... and she bucked me into a tub of... stuff. So we went into the tunnels to reach the manticore caves where we milked the largest one, and I got a squirt to the face, and it burned, and I was blind, then I grabbed onto Apple Bloom’s tail and she pulled me out of the cave so the manticore would not eat us. Then something happened, I don’t remember what, but when I woke up I had pieces of me missing, then we meet with this little monkey guy named Kirabo and he cut his hand and we were teleported into a ursa’s cave where we had to make it cry and get her tears so we could save Zecora... Did I tell you that Zecora died? Well, she did not actually died but her body was gone and she was inside Apple Bloom’s head. Then I don’t remember anything until I awoke in a bed that smelled funny and I could not move, and I did not feel my tail, then Imamu, the giant monkey I told you about picked me up and we went outside where he did some sort of spooky dark magic and I think he build Zecora a new body, but it was a filly body, and Zecora looked adorable, and then I passed out and woke up in a changeling pod...”
“Okay Spike, I think I get it now.”
“You do?” Spike asked sceptical. “Look Twi, I know how weird all this must sound, but I am not crazy.”
“No Spike, of course you aren’t. You just have a hyperactive imagination, that all... And some weird dreams.”
“Huh? What are you...”
“Just play along.” Spike could hear the voice in his head talking to him.
“Imamu?” he asked it.
“Yes. Just play along or she may think you are crazy or something.”
“Said the voice in my head.” Spike laughed.
“Spike?” Twilight asked when she saw that he started laughing for no reason.
“Sorry Twi, I...”
“Just remembered a funny joke.” Imamu told Spike.
“I just remembered a funny joke.” He repeated.
“Okay...” Twilight said looking at Spike. “Look Spike, it is late and we can talk about it tomorrow. Now lets get some sleep.”
“Sure,” he said yawning.
They both walked up the flight of stairs that led to their bedroom and went to bed. After sleeping in changeling goo for the past two nights Spike was happy to be back in his basket, while Twilight struggled to find a comfortable position to sleep in, now that her bed had a large chunk of it missing.
It was her own fault for not being more careful with her teleportation spell, but somewhere, deep down inside her, she blamed Spike for making her so angry. The dragons snoring did not help her fall asleep any faster.
