Opposite Sides

Night Owl

"Well, here we are! The Diamond House!" Diamond Dust smiled, waving her hoof in a grand gesture. "I can't wait to introduce you to my Dad!"

"Wait, he won't be able to see us!" Sweetie realized suddenly.

"Why not?" Dust asked.

"We were invisible when we came here, but Sweetie cast a spell that let you see us, but nopony else." Tiara explained.

"Oh, I know just the unicorn for the job!" Dust exclaimed. "Follow me!"

"Where are we going?" Sweetie asked.

"Golden Oak Nightclub. Maybe Night Sparkle can make sense of this." Dust smiled. "But she's probably taking a nap. She's a bit of a night owl."

The three fillies came upon the Golden Oak Nightclub, a large tree-like building with a flickering laser light sign reading Golden Oak Nightclub, and some graffiti on the side reading,"Ragity wuz here".

"Woah. That's a change." was all Sweetie Belle could say. This certainly was different from the calm, refined Golden Oak Library back home.

"Hey Night Sparkle! You here?" Dust shouted, trotting in to see a lavender unicorn sprawled out on the floor.

Night replied with a snore.

"Sorry about her. She's so uncouth sometimes." a low voice apologized.

The girls turned to see a small, dark purple and orange dragon walking towards them, a green bow tie around his neck.

"Who're you?" Sweetie Belle asked the dragon.

"My name is Master Kenbroath Gillspotten Heath Spike, but you may call me Spike." he replied, pushing up his oversized glasses.

"Woah, you must be, like, a million years old!" Diamond Tiara quipped.

"No, I'm just a baby dragon, and caretaker of this slacker here." Spike replied. "Oh, hello, Miss Dust!" he smiled, bowing to Diamond Dust.

"Hey Spike! Can you wake up Night for us?" Dust asked.

"With pleasure." Spike replied. A green flame shot out of his mouth, setting fire to Night's flank.

"Wha.... What?" Night blinked, barely fazed by it at all.

"Diamond Dust has a a question for you." Spike said, tapping his foot.

"I wanna sleep..." Night complained. "I don't feel like teaching anypony today."

"Night Sparkle, it is your duty to help these fillies as an older mare and good role model." Spike chided.

"Oh-Kay, I'll help you , Diamond, Diamond, and Diamond." Night said groggily. The fillies laughed, and Spike face palmed.

"I mean Dust and the two newcomers, sleepyhead!" Spike groaned. Being Night's assistant, he had to deal with this every. single. day. "Can you do a soldization spell on these two young fillies?" he asked, gesturing to Sweetie and Tiara, who he assumed where there.

"I don't wanna." Night complained. "Why'd Luna choose me to be her student?"

"Night, your magical ability surpasses those of the average unicorn." Spike explained. "So please so it."

"Okay, but stop using all those big words." Night said, beginning the spell.

The two fillies were enveloped in a purple light, the same shade of purple as Night's cutie mark, a purple star with a party hat on.

Soon, the two fillies were visible to everypony in the room.

"There. Was that so hard?" Spike asked.

Night replied with a snore. Again.
