Chapter 5: My Experience in the Library with Snips

Me and Snips had made to Twilight's library/home, since Cheerilee got sick, the weather looked gloomier, ironically contemplating with Cheerilee's condition. It looked like it might be a storm, AGAIN, for the fifth fucking time in three days.
Once the two of us made to Twilight's door, Snips knocked on the door, however, Twilight wasn't the one who answered, instead it was her faithful butler (that's pretty much what he is), Spike, the nice dragon I seem to get along with,

"Hey Silver Spoon" He greeted me with a smile.
"Hey Spike" I smiled back.
"Handing in a book?" He kindly asked.
"Yeah" I replied.
"OK, I'll call Twilight" Spike told me.

Spike then looked at Snips, and the smile he had looking at me instantly dropped into a frown,

"Hey Snips, asshole" Spike said to him.
"Sorry Spike, I can't understand you, maybe because you're talking with a mouth-full of shit" Snips replied to him.

Good comeback Snips. I don't know what Spike has against Snips, but Snips seems to be aware that he doesn't like him, and Snips doesn't seem to like Spike either,

"Speak for yourself" He spoke back to Snips, then turned around to shout for Twilight, "Hey Twilight! Two ponies handing books!"
"Down in a bit, Spike" She loudly replied to him from another room.
"Yeah, just wait out here" Spike turned back to us and told us.

Spike then pointed his finger at Snips, then flicked his finger towards me, and back to Snips, then back to me,

"You two date?" Spike asked the two of us with curiosity.
"N-" Snips tried to say no.
"Maybe" I implied.
"Well, all I can say to you, Silver Spoon, is good luck, he will stress you out" He told me.
"Hey Spike, Rarity has a boyfriend" Snips joked.
"Fuck you, man" Spike angrily replied to him.
"Same to you" Snips spoke back him.

Twilight then came to the door, and was oblivious to Spike and Snips' fight,

"Hey Snips, hey Silver Spoon" Twilight greeted us.
"Hey Twilight" Snips greeted her back.
"Afternoon" I greeted.
"Shouldn't you two to be in School?" Twilight asked us.
"No, Cheerilee got sick, so she cancelled school today" I explained to her.
"Oh, I see" Twilight said, "You guys handing in something or do you want to take something out?"
"I'm handing something in" Snips replied.
"Both, Twilight" I replied to her.
"What are you two handing in?" She asked us.
"I'm handing Daring Do and the Fires of the Ice Tomb, I was wondering if I could find another book please?" I replied and asked her.
"Sure thing" She told me, then she turned to Snips and asked him, "What are you handing in, Snips?"
"A book on the Grand Galloping Gala" Snips replied.
"Oh, you two going there together?" She asked the both of us.
"We might be" I implied once more.

Snips might think I didn't notice him look at me with surprise, like he was to convey "what the fuck are you saying?" but I noticed him, and he seemed to like it,

"Well, about a year ago, me and my friends went to the Gala, turns out our expectations were let down" Twilight told us.
"How?" Snips asked.
"Well, all the things we planned to do didn't exactly come to plan, due to the ponies there kind of getting in the way of things" She explained to him.
"Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Canterlot ponies" He replied.
"I'm from Canterlot" Twilight uttered.

Oops, that was awkward, hahaha, oh my God, what an idiot, I'm desperately trying not to laugh at his accidental offense, but sooner or later I'm just going to have to let it out,

"Oh, I..um...didn't mean to say that, you're not like the other ones" He awkwardly tried to apologize.
"It's OK, Snips, I know who you mean, yeah, a lot of them are snobby and unlikable" Twilight reassured.

I couldn't hold it in, I just had to laugh, I let it out, I just giggled at Snips' fucking awful attempt at apologizing, at least Twilight was nice about it. Once I started to laugh, around thirty seconds later, Snips then laughed at his bad apology attempt, later, Twilight did as well,

"OK then, you guys want to come in and hand in your books? I need to stamp them off" Twilight informed us.
"Sure" I replied to her.

I then heard a loud rumble in the air, the sign of thunder. I almost feel bad for the Pegasi for not making the weather better, because I haven't seen Rainbow Dash in the clouds recently, what the fuck is she up to? If she were around, the chances of thunder and rain would probably go down,

"Oh my, I guess you better come in now" Twilight told us.
"Yeah, we might as well" I replied.

Me and Snips entered her home/library in a hurry, we lined up at Twilight's desk, Snips was in front of me, but he had something generous in mind,

"Silver Spoon, do you want to go in-front of me?" He kindly asked.
"That's nice of you, Snips, thanks" I replied.

Snips moved out of my way and I went in front of him, and went in front of Twilight's desk,

"You're handing in Daring Do and the Fires of the Ice Tomb, right?" Twilight asked me.
I nodded as I got the book out, "Yep, I'd also like to take another book out please?"
"Of course" She replied and smiled as she took my book away.

I went over to the other shelves to find another book, whilst Snips was handing in his book to Twilight, I searched through the first two shelves I was at, it was romance books, in alphabetical order as well, A Trot to Remember, Jane Mare, all classics, but I'm not really looking for any love stories at the moment, I'm getting into an adventure books and action phase, though I will read a romance here and there.
I heard a sound from one of the shelves behind me, beside the horror books and encyclopedias, I went over there and attempted to look behind it, but out of now where, Spike jumped out and gave me a fright, I got angry at him and quietly shouted,

"What the hell, Spike?"
"Hahaha, oh my gosh, the look on your face" Spike chuckled.
"Wow, no wonder you don't have girlfriend" I said to him.
"Well, you're boyfriend is a danger to the village" He told me.
"He's not my boyfriend, nor a danger, coming from the reptile who grew sixty feet tall and almost demolished the entire fucking town" I replied to him.
"That was different, he drew an Ursa Minor here along with his friend" He said.
"Yeah, because he thought The Great and Powerful phony, Trixie, would stop it, so in a way, it was more of her fault than his and Snails'" I spoke back to him.
"Look, you're a nice pony, I get along with you, but I'm just saying watch what your boyfriend is doing..."
"He's not my boyfriend" I said.
"But you said he was at the door" Spike replied.
"No, I said maybe" I told him.
"You want to go out with him?" Spike asked.
"I guess I wouldn't mind dating him" I said to Spike as I looked at Snips who was still speaking to Twilight about something.
"It's your choice, it's not necessarily one I agree with, but whatever works for you, then it for you y'know" Spike told me.
"Yeah" I said as I turned to look at Spike.

Me and Spike continued to talk to each other about random shit until Twilight shouted out for me,

"Silver Spoon!"
"Yeah?!" I loudly replied.
"If you can't find any books over there, then you can go to the basement and find some more!" She loudly told me from her desk.
"OK, thanks!" I shouted.
"Huh, speak of the Devil, you can have your way in the basement" Spike said to me.
"Ha, we'll see, Spike" I said to him in a more quieter voice.


I'm in a slightly dark basement, with Snips, the entire was infested with plenty of books, which makes me beg the question on how much she spent on this. Some of the books down here weren't even that great, Battlefield Equestria is here, and that's an awful book.
I was searching for something for a book a bit less shit, maybe if I can find the rare Daring Do prequel, that would make my day, Snips was searching for something else, I'm not really sure what he is looking for, he did mention to me coming down here that if he saw something he liked he would get it, but if he didn't see anything, he just wouldn't bother.
Should I ask him, or should I wait for him to ask me, because it's blatantly obvious that he likes,

"So, Silver Spoon, what kind of book are you looking for?" He asked me.
"Anything, really. Action, Adventure, Thriller, Horror..." I listed.
"Cool" He interrupted me, thinking I finished.
"...Romance" I went on.

After I said that, the both of us went silent, but the silence wasn't awkward or uncomfortable, but more of a gentle silence, and I just happened to say "romance" at the right time. We both looked into each other's eyes, I let out a smile, he blushed and placed his left hoof at the back of his mane, I can tell he is desperately trying to find the words,

"Em..listen, I have been...uh....thinking about you, the past...em...few years, and I have always...em...sort of liked you"

Aww, he's stuttering while saying he likes me, how cute, to be honest, I like him as well, he's an nice guy,

"I like you too" I softly said.
"So" He paused.

Come on, Snips, you can say it, just let it out,

"I'm getting two tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala and I was wondering if yo.."
"Yes" I interrupted him.
"Pardon me?" His eyes widened in shock.
"Yes, I would love to go to the Gala with you" I replied and smiled at him.

At this point, Snips now feels extremely confident in himself, to the point where he flirtatiously asks me,

"Do you want to go somewhere else just now?"

I do the flirting, Snips, but that a good attempt nonetheless,

"No, I'm fine right here" I said as I came closer towards him.

As I came closer, I closed my eyes, and he closed his shortly after, I came closer and let my lips touch his, and all I'm thinking to myself is, "No turning back now", and it was worth it, he is a really good kisser. But something happened that made him go quite tense, Spike out of nowhere, opens the door and makes Snips to back back away in embarrassment, but I pulled him back towards me and held him closer, which Spike sighed and said,

"Oh get a fucking room, man"

OK, Spike. What the Hell, man? You knew I was going to be down here with Snips. This is highly hypocritical of him, because he must've possible knew what me and Snips would possibly be doing down here, so he has no right to say that. Or maybe he was saying it to Snips, just due to the fact that those two really don't get along, at all. But either way, those six words made me really pissed off at Spike. In order for Spike to stop looking at us, Snips levitated a book over to Spike, and smacked his face with it and slammed the door in his face, and serves Spike right as well.
Me and Snips ended our kiss and randomly picked another book, me and Snips made it upstairs, and I gave Twilight the book and she told me when to give it back, after that me and Snips opened the door to see it was pouring down with rain, just my luck.


Snips and I have both made to the outside of my home, most of my body was soaking wet, but Snips was kind enough to put his arm around me the entire time, so my back is dry, I snuggled closer to him and said,

"Thanks for the pencil"
"You're very welcome" He replied.

I turned and gave him a little kiss on the cheek for goodbye, I then went away from him and made it towards my house,

"I'll probably speak to you later" He said to me.
"I'll speak to you later" I said as I turned my head slightly to the left while still walking towards my house.

I went into my house and when I closed the door I leaned against it and looked up at my hall way ceiling, I let out a little giggle, but at the same time, while I was giggling happily, I thought about what Diamond Tiara would say about this, I guess I'll just have to find out later.
