The early morning sun has creeped in through the window and now rest over Sparky's closed eyes as they begin to crack a little to the room around him. Over the course of the night he did not move or even slightly turn an inch, his body has stayed on his sprawled out wings all night and as the light orange stallion starts to sit up a little in the bed his body reminds him of that fact. A slight groan comes from his mouth as he folds his stiff wings back to his back with a little effort, as he brings his lower legs to run from the bed's covers. However as he does this the book that was resting on his chest falls to the ground with a low *PLOP*, sound. (Stallion! Don't ruin this book, it has survived to long to be destroyed by carelessness.) The echo paralyzes Sparky's still sleepy hazed mind as he flops back to the bed and runs his hooves quickly start up to his head as he tries to almost peel the echoey voice from his head. Sombra's tone comes back a little lower as it chimes around his head, (Do not harm yourself stallion.) Sparky's voice pants hard as he just holds his hooves over his eyes for a moment, but he slowly moves them from his face as he forces his body through to just start the day. The magic has a stronger feel to the stallion's coat in the morning, and it's now almost unbearable. But Sparky puts on a slight smile as he just bends down and takes the book up, he stares to the book he's about to steal for a moment as he spreads his right wing out a little and starts to tuck the book under it. As the wing's feathers cover the journal he starts his trot up, vowing to come back and make the bed after he gets a chance to just calm his mind. The trot to the end of the hall brings the sound of a still groggy boyish tone through the house as Sparky's trot starts him down the stairs. The dirt that he and Violet brought in has been cleaned up and the satchel that Violet just plopped to the table has been cleaned. He holds his stare to the table as he looks over the light purple mare that examines the cracked jar in her hoof, really the small crack wouldn't be noticeable from where Sparky trots but the darkish cloud still in the jar makes the crack's glass sparkle a little. Spike's voice comes back up now more audible as he just stares across the table to the jar, "So how long do you need that thing for? I doubt that cloud will stay in there for long." Violet wiggles her hoof to him as she continues to just study the object, although the hoof motion cocks Spike's head as he tries to understand whether or not she just said something, "Oh that long huh?" A faint smile comes over him as he waits for a comment. To the mare's distracted eyes Sparky turns his right wing away from Violet, but his trot has turned her eyes as she gives a little smile and sets the jar down. Her tomboyish mane never usually looks combed but after the free fall of yesterday the relaxed style definitely looks more formal. Sparky gives a little smile as he speaks up, "So when are you going to be leaving?" Violet taps her hoof to her mouth for a moment as she thinks over the words, but her hooves come up as she speaks up. But her comment even though her smile still brings a sad thought to his mind as he answers her, "Ya...I can't go back to the Wonder Bolts this year." The light purple mare nods her head as she straightens her posture up as she starts her hooves. Sparky blinks to the words for a moment as he gives a slight chuckle, "You want me to come back with you as an assistant?" A quick nod comes up as she points to the jar and continues a short ear flick and left hoof motion. "Well ya I guess you couldn't really move the cloud-... "(Stallion, reject this offer. I have need of you.) Sparky's words come to a sudden end as he just blinks to the mare who now turns a questioning eye to him. However as he brings his voice back up the door to the house comes open. Everypony and Spike quickly turn their heads as they stare to the heavy lavender mare that has just swiftly closed the door. But they all take a slight double take to the mare's face, the fur under Twilight's eyes looks matted like she's been crying for what looks like hours and her mane looks completely loose and almost uncombed. The thing that still holds everyone quite though is the mare's slightly tearing up eyes as she quickly rushes her voice to the room before anypony else, "Violet! W-what are you doing here!?" Violet snaps from her stare as she just holds a smile to the sight of her mother and begins to stand from the table, but before Violet can even bring a hoof forward Twilight rushes over to her and embraces her in a tight hug. The heavy weight that Twilight has just left only to be held with three hooves now comes to Violet's neck as the lavender mare embraces the mare hard with a slightly siffly nosed cry. Violet balances her mother's weight but she slowly moves from her as she stares to Twilight's face with a quick hooves out question. Twilight's response comes quick as she shakes her head, "N-no nothing is wrong! I-I just didn't think I would see you..." Her voice gets a little more rushed as she cautiously looks back to the closed door and begins to lower her voice, "Spike could you bring me the Element's of Harmony box please?" The little dragon blinks to the request as he slowly starts to move from his seat, "What for?" Slowly Twilight regains control to her emotional spilling voice as she speaks up, 'O-oh nothing Celestia just needs me to bring them that's all." To the words Sparky speaks up trying to lighten the mood of the room, "Oh well that explains where Celestia went-.." "What do you mean! Celestia's not at Canterlot?" Again Twilight's voice comes up more rushed as she takes a step towards the light orange pegasus. To the confusing change of tone Violet holds her hoof to her mother's side as she comes back to Twilight's gaze and sparks up her hooves. Again Twilight shakes her head as Spike starts to bring his walk up the stairs, "No-no, of course I knew Celestia wasn't in Canterlot I was with her...I-I just though she made it back already." Violet holds a strong questioning eye to the lavender mare's tone but she doesn't get to question it as Twilight holds a loving and slightly tear filled stare to her, "Sweetie...I-I need you to do something ok?" Violet's ears stay to the mare's words as she continues, "...I need you to go stay with Uncle Shining ok? Promise me you will go ok?" To the words Violet cocks her head as she brings her hooves up with a quick question. Twilight quickly starts up a lie as she nods her head, "Y-you must not have heard, Celestia wants every pony student to go to the Crystal Empire..To-to study more about magic with the Crystal Heart ya.." A fake but believable smile comes over the lavender mare as she looks to Violet's face just hoping the young mare doesn't call her lie. (Stallion you will be joining your mare after all...For my resurrection will now also bring me the satisfaction of revenge over the white one) Sparky slowly starts to trot over to the bag on the table as a thought comes to his mind from Sombra’s laughy tone. His almost zombie like trot comes to an end as he uses Violet's distraction to his advantage as he quickly slips the book to her bag. Violet's suspicion to the mare's words she nods her head to her mother's request as the sound of Spike's claws come back to the room. Twilight quickly turns her eyes to the box that Spike carries as a light purple glow comes over the box and it floats to her. The sight of Twilight's magic quickly springs Violet forward as she tries to take the heavy box from her mother's magical hold. But Twilight quickly shakes her head as she speak up, "Celestia sent me here on a chariot...I won't be carrying it for long." Twilight's eyes flutter a little more as she stares to the young mare in front of her, "Me and your father love you Violet...And-and we are so proud of you..." Her eyes come to Spike as she speaks up, "Spike I want you to go with Violet to the Crystal Empire." The box floats more to her side as Twilight slowly backs up to the door as she continues to hold her eyes to Violet, "W-we'll meet you at the Crystal Empire ok?" Another faked smile comes up as she add-libs, "Celestia is allowing visits to the school on it's trip...I promise me and your father will be there...Just make sure you get to Uncle Shining's soon ok it's safer-I MEAN that's where Celestia's last few school weeks will be held." Violet again nods her head not really knowing what else to do to her mother's strange words. With one last long look Twilight opens the door as she steps outside and quickly closes it. As the door closes Spike and Violet share a look of confusion, but Sparky moves his trot towards the window as he looks over the scene outside. Twilight's head has draped down almost like she's trying to hide her teary eyes from the two white coated and blonde haired pegasus that stare straight on with almost no emotion to their faces. But the white and gold regular looking chariot doesn't strike Sparky's mind as off. (Stallion, take the mare's previous offer.) Sparky's thoughts about the scene outside fades as he turns back to Violet with a question, "C-can I come Violet?" The confusion Spike and Violet had is brought to an end as the light purple mare nods her head and floats her satchel to the table as the few jars come to sit inside of the open flap, she doesn't check the bag as she gets ready to trot back upstairs to get ready to leave. Spike's voice comes up as he watches her trot, "I wonder what Celestia wanted with the Element's of Harmony?" No answer comes to the small dragon as he watches the light purple mare trotting up stairs, he again brings his voice up as he follows after her, "Oh ya, I need to get packed." The words bring the same idea to Sparky's mind but it's cut off as Sombra's echo comes up, (Do not halt this trip any further stallion...You will have no need for petty items when we arrive at the crystal empire.) Sparky's eyes drift down to the ground as the thought of what's to come hangs heavy in his mind, but again Sombra's echoing comes banging around his head to answer it, (The mare will be spared as long as you continue to do what I say pegasus.)
