Twilight wakes up to find herself in her bed.
Having no memory of walking over to and climbing in she assumed that Celestia had been in her room again trying to comfort her.
She gets up and walks over to the only spot on the floor not covered in dust and sits down in the same position as the day before.
Everyday had the same routine. Wake up, walk to the dust-free spot on the floor, sit down and stare at the floor, remember those painful memories and finally fall asleep.
Once the memories started they didn't stop until she was asleep, and even then some memories continued until she woke up.
Somepony knocks on the door and says something about breakfast.
It sounds like Spike so she assumes that its a Tuesday. Spike always visits on a Tuesday, which is his one day off from serving the princess as her emissary.
Hearing Spike's voice reminds Twilight of when Spike and Rarity started dating.
--
Twilight was still up at midnight after one of Pinkies ridiculous parties, pacing around her room.
She was pacing because Spike had disappeared and she hadn't been able to find him.
Then he walked in the front door of the tree library.
Twilight rushed at him and yelled, "Where the hay have you been?!"
Spike smiled at her and puts a finger clumsily to his lips.
"Shh", Spike said. "Its a secret. Rarity said not tell Twilight that we're dating. She's organizing a party to tell everypony. You won't tell her will you?"
Twilight looked at him and replied, "I wont tell Twilight".
"Pinkie Promise?" Spike asked just to make sure.
"I Pinkie Promise. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye," Twilight said crossing her heart and mimed sticking a cupcake in her eye.
Spike nodded at her and walked haphazardly up the stairs to his bed, clearly drunk and needing to sleep it off.
Twilight smiled and shook her head as she watched him almost fall off of the stairs three times.
She closed the door and the windows, made sure all the lights were turned off and while heading back to bed opened the utility closet and grabbed out a bucket and placed it near Spikes bed for him to throw up in.
Only then did she finally relax knowing that Spike and Rarity would be an adorable couple.
Two days later Rarity knocked on Twilights door and said that she would be throwing a party later that day over at Sugar Cube Corner.
Twilight knew that Rarity was planning a party, but she didn't expect it to be this soon.
Rarity's parties usually consisted of months of prior planning...
And then it hit her.
Spike had seemed a lot happier the last couple of months and Rarity had started branching out to making other garments other than just dresses.
Twilight finally realized that Spike and Rarity had been secretly dating and nopony had noticed.
She was happy for the two of them, but slightly annoyed that Spike hadn't told her that he was dating Rarity.
At the party Pinkie Pie hosted, Spike and Rarity announced that they were now an 'item'.
Everyone looked at them in surprise, everyone except Twilight as Spike had inadvertently told her two days before.
There was a moment of stunned silence until Twilight walked over to Spike and kissed him on the forehead.
"I'm glad that you two are happy, but why didn't you tell us earlier?" Twilight asked smiling at Rarity then looking at Spike and raising an eyebrow.
"Well..." Spike started.
"Spike wanted it to be a big occasion and I agreed," Rarity finished smiling at the others and hugging Spike.
Everyone then rushed over and hugged the two love birds.
The party continued long into the night only ending when the punch became "Spike'd".
--
Twilight was crying again, not tears of sadness but tears of joy.
That was one of the few memories she could look back on and not be depressed afterwards.
She stood up and walked to the door, opening it slightly to see if there was anyone looking then pulling in the tray containing the evening meal.
It was a bit cold, as it had been sitting there for 20 minutes, but she still ate all of it.
She had forgotten how hungry she could get after not doing anything for weeks and months on end.
And if her calculations were correct this would be the first meal she had eaten of her own will in over a month.
Once she had fully eaten the meal she slowly walked over to the door again, carefully looking out to check that the area was clear then carefully placing the tray back on top of the precariously balanced pile.
Later that evening when Twilight had finally fallen asleep after climbing into her bed, Celestia walked to Twilight's room carrying a tray of food with her magic.
When she got to the door and was about to go in when she noticed the empty tray.
She smiled and thought to herself, *She must have had the memory about Spike and Rarity again.*
Celestia magicked away the tray and opened the door and walked over to Twilights' sleeping form.
She sat on the side of the bed looking down on her sister in-law and brushing her mane away from her face.
Then she leaned down and kissed Twilight gently on the forehead, so as not to wake her, and whispered "Rest well, my faithful student, for tomorrow the anguish begins again..."
