"You know riolu," Twilight spoke as they were trotting upon the ground. "Ponyville is not that bad when you get used to it."
Riolu awoke suddenly from the confused shock and looked around him. It seemed as if now they had teleported from Fluttershy's cottage to a dirt path that had houses on each side.
"Where am I?" He spoke out loud.
Twilight looked behind her and smiled at Riolu as she was galloping. A look of elation had been painted upon her face.
"Oh goody! You're awake! Now my conversations with you will have you actually in them!" Twilight spoke with an uplifting tone.
"What do you mean? I've been awake the whole time, and where am I!?" Riolu shouted in twilight's ear.
"You're in ponyville!" Spike shouted enthusiastically as he followed behind them.
Riolu turned his head and shot a menacing glance at the small dragon. A fire of annoyance had been sparked in his eyes.
"What?" Spike replied sincerely.
"Quiet!” Riolu shouted.
"Hey, settle down back there. We're almost home, and I don't want to tell fluttershy about both of you fighting the whole entire time." Twilight scolded.
"We weren't fighting." Spike directed quickly.
"Yeah, and do you really have to tell Fluttershy about this?" Riolu questioned.
A long and awkward silence fell upon the three travelers. the silence to past for a few seconds until Twilight started breathing words from under her breath.
"Oh, it'll be more than just Fluttershy. That's for sure." Twilight thought out loud.
Riolu's face had now turned red with anger. Why wouldn't she just get off his case?
"Jerk." He whispered under his breath.
"What did you just say?" Twilight shouted as she turned around to face him.
"Nothing." Riolu quickly replied with a blushed face.
Twilight stared deep into Riolu's eyes, causing him to sweat anxiously. It was if she was going to run right through him.
"Good," Twilight mumbled. "Cause we are already here."
Riolu looked up from where he was and stared at the treehouse before him. The sun striking the beautiful leaves at the very top gave Riolu a sort of chill.
"That's where you live?" Riolu asked in awe.
Twilight looked at Riolu with an amused expression on her face as if she had won a small percentage of him over.
"Yep! It sure is a lovely place, huh?" Twilight questioned happily.
Riolu continued to stare silently in curiosity. He then got off of twilight's back and headed toward the door. It looked like a cool place to live, but riolu still preferred the isolated cabin of Fluttershy's.
"Do you get a lot of visits?" Riolu questioned as he set his paws on the doorstep.
"Well, not excessively. Although, are friends tend to sometimes visit." Twilight answered happily.
Riolu turned around with a look of disappointment and stared at the princess.
"Please don't tell me there's more of you." Riolu whined.
"Of course there's more," spike spoke up. "In fact, you just might like them."
Riolu turned his gaze and stared at the dragon with a smirk on his face.
"I doubt it. I could stand Fluttershy due to her personality, but if your saying that their's more of you guys out there, then you're sadly mistaken.” Riolu said boldly as he opened the door.
Spike huffed in annoyance. He then walked frustratingly over to where twilight was standing and leaned in her ear.
"You sure about this, twilight?" Spike whispered.
Twilight stared at riolu as he walked into their house. She noticed a small glimmer of amazement in his eyes, but saw a hint of unexplainable fear along with it.
"I'm positive." Twilight replied quietly.
"Hey, are you guys coming in?" Riolu shouted at them.
"Coming." Twilight spoke softly as she and spike trotted toward the door.
Once they were finally reached the inside of their home, spike silently shut the door behind him and twilight.
"Okay, riolu. I need you to sit down for me." Twilight commanded as she galloped toward the center of the room
"Why?" Riolu questioned as he faced twilight.
"Just find a seat and I'll explain." Twilight spoke softly.
Riolu stared at twilight in confusion and started looking around the room. He suddenly spotted a stool in a nearby corner and pulled it out. He then sat down upon the stool and whispered quietly to himself.
"I wonder what she wants now." Riolu breathed.
"Spike, give me some parchment, an ink bottle, and a quill." Twilight commanded to her assistant.
"Sure thing, twilight!" Spike replied gladly.
Spike then went to one of the nearby bookshelves and pulled out a small piece of paper that was lodged in between two books. He then scampered up stairs and came back down with a bottle of ink and a small quill.
"Perfect! Thanks, Spike!" Twilight praised as she levitated the three objects out of spike's hands and toward her.
"Alright, Riolu," Twilight spoke as she dipped the quill in the ink bottle while placing the quill tip on the parchment. "Tell me something about your species."
Riolu sighed a sigh of sorrow. He had been through this already.
"Didn't I already tell you?" Riolu questioned softly.
Twilight stared Riolu in the eyes with a soft, menacing stare.
"Sarcasm doesn't count, Riolu," Twilight replied deeply. "Tell me something really detailed and sincere."
"Like what?" Riolu snapped quickly.
Twilight looked around in deep thought, and bit her bottom lip in concentration.
"Like…what do Pokemon do?" Twilight asked curiously.
Riolu looked at Twilight with an embarrassed expression on his face. He really didn't know how to respond to that. He hardly ever interacted with any other Pokemons. Most of his activities involved doing his master's bidding. Suddenly, a spark of inspiration had ignited in his eyes.
"Pokemon love to be Pokemon!" Riolu spoke nervously.
Twilight looked up from her parchment and stared at Riolu coldly. A frown had now replaced her smile.
"Really?" She questioned sternly.
Riolu gulped in fear. She obviously wasn't going to buy his answer.
"Yes." He whispered loudly.
A soft angered expression had fallen upon Twilight's face. Redness was starting to appear on her forehead.
"Fine. That'll be the first thing to write down." She said in an angered tone.
Twilight then dipped the quill again in the ink bottle maddeningly with her magic, and pulled it out to find that no ink was on the quill. She looked inside the ink bottle and grew even madder when she saw that all the ink was already used up.
"Spike!, Do we have anymore ink!" Twilight shouted out loud.
"That was the only one I saw up there, and I checked everywhere." Spike replied as he sat casually on the bottom step.
Twilight's eyes glowed with anger and impatience. She then started galloping in place, took a deep breath, and gave a sigh of relief.
"That's okay. There might be some at the quills and sofas shop. If they have quills, then they might have ink." Twilight spoke reassuringly.
"This place has a town that sells quills and sofas?” Riolu spoke in bewilderment.
Twilight looked over in Riolu's direction. A sudden shimmer in her eyes told that a new idea had been created.
"Yes,” Twilight smirked. “And be sure to remember that name, cause that's where you and spike are going as of now."
Riolu's eyes opened wide with fear. He was not expecting something like this at such an early time.
"Wait, what? Why?" Riolu questioned quickly.
Twilight smiled with joy at his frantic questions. She had gotten to him, and she wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away.
"Don't fret, Riolu. All I need you to do is for you and spike to go to the sofas and quills store to see if they have any ink there. It's something that you should do." Twilight commanded.
Riolu thought about the command for a second. A smirky grin had suddenly appeared on his face.
"And what happens if I don't do this?" Riolu snapped in reply.
Suddenly, Riolu was levitated out of his stool and was carried all the way to the front door where he was then dropped.
"You're doing it, Riolu. No objections or suggestions." Twilight spoke rhythmically.
"Good one, Twilight." Spike laughed.
Twilight blushed softly with a cheeky expression on her face, causing riolu to roll his eyes in annoyance.
"Thank you, spike," Twilight praised. "By the way, will you please come over here for a second? There's something I need to tell you that's really important."
Riolu watched as spike got up and walked over to twilight. He then watched as twilight slowly moved her head toward spike's ear and started whispering words softly to him. Spike then nodded his head at twilight and started walking toward the door where riolu stood.
“Alright, Riolu. Let's go." Spike grinned as he pushed the door to the outside world open.
"What were you guys talking about?" Riolu questioned curiously.
A slight grin of amusement appeared on Spike's face followed by a small hint of snickering.
"Nothing important." He chuckled softly.
Riolu's expression turned sour. He hated it on how twilight and spike were sharing something secret. He hoped it was not something about him.
"This is going to be one long day." Riolu breathed.
Spike then closed the door behind them as he and Riolu took there first steps on the trodden ground that would soon lead them to their destination.
