//------------------------------// // To take what you can get // Story: Take What You Can Get // by Inspiration //------------------------------// Knocking woke me up. It was short but loud. And the voice of a Twilight Sparkle followed the knocking. "Frost Bite, can I talk to you?" Why she needed to talk to me, I had no idea. But I got up, groomed real fast, and got to the door. "Well, good morning, Miss Sparkle. Do you need something?" "Please don't call me that, Mister Frost. And yes, I need to speak to you." "Private? Personal? What?" "Follow me, please. We should talk at the library." I remembered that she lived at the library. Kind of weird, but not for her. So we got to the library after about 10 minutes, and I was about to sit down when she started up. It was such a barrage of questions that flowed from one subject to another that is was disorienting. "What's your special talent? Are you trying to seduce Fluttershy? If you were a bum, why are you so nice? What happened to make..." I could follow none of that. But one question stuck out. "Why is Fluttershy being so open now that she met you?" I had no answer to any of her questions, as that one filled my brain. "Twilight...I think that Fluttershy is just...opening up for whatever reason. I don't think I have anything to do with it." "Well, and I know she's normally nice, but, why is she being so nice to you?" That was just rude. And she saw it. "Miss Twilight, I think I should go." "But, I need answer-" "No." And I left. I thought of her questions that I managed to catch. "When you were homeless, why did you take up theft?" And answer was simple. I had to take what I could get.
