Chapter 12.5: Just Doing His Duty

Quick Cast was ready to call it a night. It had been the usual, humdrum night of guarding the Canterlot Archives. Well, one change. There was a note saying to open the Starswirl the Bearded Wing if Twilight Sparkle came by.
Not like she’d come here in the middle of the night. Well, it was getting close to sunrise, but still, highly unlikely she’d be here. He remembered when she would pull all-nighters before, but that was before she was sent to Ponyville.
Wait… he heard something. Three ponies. No, 2 are ponies, one’s a… dragon? That’s Spike! And that was Twilight! He was sure of it! Why was she and her friends wearing those black outfits? Oh well. Have to say hi,
“Hey, Twilight, haven't seen you in a while. Let me open that for ya.” He cast the spell to unlock the gate to the Wing.
Twilights chuckled, seeming nervous. “Thanks!”
Well, it was good to see her again. Crazy hairstyle, but it was good to see her finding interests outside of books. As much as he wishes his little filly had Twilight’s study habits, he was glad she had her friends.
He just realized. It’s Tuesday. That means donuts! He had to get a sprinkled donut before Silver Shield did. He always caught Silver Shield taking the last one, swearing that was the only donut he took.
At least all the donuts were tasty, so it was never a total loss.
