"Spike take a letter for the princess." The little purple dragon sighed as he looked to the ground of the library. "Rainbow already said it Twilight. Nothing's going to happen and you shouldn't scare everypony for nothing." "Spike. Take. A. Letter." the unicorn commanded. He sighed again. "Fine, but you'll just get the same answer Twilight." "Just do it, Spike." "Okay, okay." he said reluctantly while he got his quill, ink and paper. "Dear Princess Celestia, It's now a week away from the day, that has been predicted by the Whitebeards, to be our last. A newspaper reminded me of this, I didn't believe it back then, but now I see that it may be possible I know that scientist looked for potential threats, years ago. But since technology has been improved since then, I belief that scientist must research again, the technology might not have been good enough back then to find a potential threat. So can you please get some scientists to do research on this matter? And do you know more about this? We don't have much time! Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle." Spike sent the letter away with his fire and his gaize returned to Twilight. "There, so, just expect to read the same thing Dash and I have been saying to you." He said to the unicorn in front of him. "Come on, we've got to warn everypony in town of this apocalypse." Twilight said to the dragon, changing the subject. "Let's just wait for the letter Twilight." Spike suggested. " We can not warn these ponies for nothing. Even though I'm sure you'll get the same answer from her." The expression on her face turned from serious to a bit angry. "What if I am right Spike? Huh?" The lavender pony annoyed. " We can't just do nothing and wait till we all die." Spike sighed. "If you ARE right, then I think we shouldn't warn anypony either. We can't do anything about it and you don't want everypony to live their last week in fear do you?" She looked angry at him and said: "If it is true -even though it is a possibility- then we just MUST look for a way to stop it or to stay alive." The little dragon looked away, afraid to look the unicorn in the eye for what he was about to say. "Sorry Twilight, but I didn't expect a very smart pony to believe this non-sense." he said quietly while looking towards the ground. When her assistant finished his sentence, she began whispering to herself. "Don't yell at him, Twilight. He's just a baby dragon. Do not do it." "What was that?" Spike asked her when she was done whispering inaudible things." The unicorn looked at him and gave a fake chuckle. "Oh. Nothing." When she finished her sentence, Spike suddenly belched out a letter, which fell to the cold library floor. As soon as her mind processed that, she dashed to the letter, picked it up and began reading. 'Dear Twilight Sparkle, Dear, there is nothing to worry about. Nothing will happen. There is just no budget for a research that has already been done before. Please don't worry and just go on with your studies, I also demand you not to warn other ponies, this could cause problems for nothing. Princess Celestia. Co-ruler of Equestria and raiser of the sun.'
