Chapter 2 – Leaving?
You poke your head into the other room as you speak up, "What did you say?"
The low chime of Twilight's magic holds to the room as one of the two satchel bags floats above the bed where the little colt happily wiggles his hooves from, "I asked if you knew where Aerolight's toothbrush is. I wasn't in the bathroom and I don't know where else we could have put it."
You blink to the comment as you try to think but your mind is stopped by a little baby like squeal as you end up just staring to the little colt who now tries to crawl inside the other satchel bag he's tipped over.
"Aerolight, I just packed that..." Twilight's voice brings no remorse from the little colt as he happily pulls a book or brush from the bag, "YAy!"
As a defeated sigh rolls from Twilight she floats the bag up, which of course brings a sour face to the little colt as he holds his pink eyes to the lavender mare.
However the quivering lip of the little colt quickly turns Twilight's actions as she lowers the bag and speaks up in a baby like tone, "Aerolight, do you know where your toothbrush is?"
The little colt blinks to the comment as he nods, "Box."
Twilight continues to move her head a little closer as she brings her voice up again, "What box?"
Aerolight gives a little giggle as the colt rocks a little on the bed, "Box." His hoof jabs towards the other side of the room as his word rolls out.
You turn your head as you look over the old golden and dark wood box that sits up against the wall on the distant side of the room.
"You put your toothbrush in the Element of Harmony box?" Twilight just blinks to the colt's motion.
You on the other hoof just laugh to the thought as you think, lot of good a tooth brush does when Pinkie's around. Makes sense something useless would be in an empty box of power. You trot over to the box as your magic opens the box to reveal a colt size blue tooth brush.
With a slight laugh you float it over to Twilight as you speak up, "Why do we have to keep an empty box in our room again?"
Twilight's magic quickly comes over yours as she blows to the comment, "Because, when Celestia is done with the Element Crown she would most likely want it back where it was."
You roll your eyes as you get ready to shell out a smart-ass kind of comment, however out of the corner of your eye you catch another pony in the hallway, "Where are you going?"
Violet stops her little trot as she turns towards the room and brings her hooves up.
"Going out?-..."
Before you can finish your comment Twilight's voice comes up as she turns to the young pony in the doorway, "Sweetie we'll be leaving in a little bit don't you think you should get packed?"
Violet gives a little smile to the comment as she pats her hoof to her bag and then follows up with a little motion.
"Packed yesterday?" A slight giggle rolls from Twilight as she proudly smiles, "No longer waiting until the last minute anymore huh?"
Another nod comes from Violet as she again brings her hooves up.
"Well..." Twilight pauses as she shrugs, "If you want to go out for a little that's fine, just meet us at the train station at ten."
Violet nods as she starts her trot back up, however she's stopped as Twilight's voice comes up, "Oh could you wake Spike please."
Your ear flicks to the comment as you think to yourself, oh...Spike.
Again Violet nods as she turns her already started trot to the closed door in the hall. Violet knocks her hoof to the door as she waits a few moments before opening it.
However as she opens it her eyes pin to the green spikes that poke up from the beds covers, "Hmmm...Five minutes."
A slightly devious smile comes to Violet's face as her blue magic comes to the bed's covers as they slowly start to peal back revealing the sleeping dragon.
Spike clenches his eyes as he gives a little groan, "Ah...Alright alright, I'm up." He lazily sits himself up as he stares half eyed to the mare, "You should know not to wake a dragon."
Violet gives a sweet smile as she looks over the small little purple dragon, but she only holds her head to the room for a moment as she turns back to the stairs.
But, the young mare only gets halfway down the stairs before she's again brought to a halt at somepony else's voice, "There you are!"
The tomboyish voice mare quickly dashes over to Violet as she hovers next to her descent of the stairs, "Heck it's been like ten minutes since your dad when up their." She gives her a little wink as she nudges the light purple mare, "Looks like your lucky somepony was able to call off cloud duty today huh?"
The young mare does give a slightly embarrassed smile but it's not for the reason Rainbow probably thinks.
"OH Violet!" Pinkie quickly jumps in front of the light purple mare as she speaks up, "Wewherewaitingforyoutocomedownbeforeweleft.Iwantedtomakesureyoulikeyourcupcakes!SeeingashowTwilightwon'tletusthrowapartytoday. I mean like come on! Whatkinaofbirthdaydoesn'thaveaparty,youonlyturnsixONCE!" Pinkie quickly taps her hoof to her mouth as she continues, "Unless you're a fruit fly!"
Violet just stands in a silent confusion as she blinks to the mare in front of her.
"Well go on try a cup cake silly." Pinkie hold a wide smile as she waits for Violet to turn her head.
The young mare does as she floats up a vanilla cupcake and takes a bite.
"Oooh vanilla huh? Didn't want to try a poison joke or something fun?" The mare's comment slightly widen Violet's eyes as she looks over the cup cake in her magic's hold.
Rainbow quickly starts up in a little laugh as she blinks to the pink mare, "Pinkie, I said you should make poison joke cupcakes a joke! I didn't want you to actually do it."
"Silly Dashy, it's still a joke. Poison joke cup cakes don't even do anything." Pinkie brings her hoof to her mouth as she leans in towards Violet with a whisper, "Jokes on her Violet she had the poison joke cup cake...I think." A snotty little laugh comes up from Pinkie as she takes her head from the young mare.
"What?" Rainbow blinks to the giggly mare as she continues to speak up, "What's so funny?"
Pinkie wiggles her hoof to Rainbow as she rushes her voice out, "Noooothing! Oh!" Pinkie quickly darts her hooves to Violet’s head as she speaks up, "I almost forgot to say Happy birthday!!" The sound of a party popper comes to the library as a bright party hat sits over the young mare's horn.
Violet gives a little wheezing laugh as she holds a bright smile to the two mares in front of her.
"Alright." Rainbow pushes Pinkie out of the way as she speaks up too the young mare, "You didn't look like you came down those stairs for us. Might as well do what you need to before you get to the Crystal Empire, heck Twilight might make you do a book report about the city or something."
Another little wheezing giggle comes from Violet as she trots towards the front door.
As the door closes behind her Violet's magic glows from under the little party hat as a small list and bag of saved up allowance bits floats from her bag. She gives the two items a little look over as she puts them back.
Violet's magic comes to the little hat as she floats it from her head, her blue eyes hold their gaze to the colorful little cap as she just gives a little grin to it. The low chime of her magic holds for the moment as she floats it to a side pouch on her bag.
