After Twilight calmed down they headed for town hall. "Decorations. Beautiful..." Spike said looking up from the list as they entered the building.
"Yes, the decor is coming along nicely. This ought'a be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful indeed." Twilight said looking around.
"Not the decor, her!" Spike said pointing to one of the two unicorns decorating the place
"No, no, no, oh! Goodness no." The alabaster mare with a purple mane and three diamonds for a cutie mark.
"How are my spines? Are they straight?" Spike said as he tried to fix his spines.
"Good afternoon." Twilight said.
"Just a moment, please! I'm 'in the zone', as it were. Oh, yes! Sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why, Rarity, you are a talent." said.
"Thats alright Rarity I'll take care of this. Now lassie how can i help you agh Faith and Begorrah what in blazes happened to you!" said the unicorn stallion his coat was white, his bright orange mane was messy and, he had a four leaf clover for a cutie mark strange thing was half the clover was black.
"Clover darling What in Faust's name is the commotion aaaaagh oh my stars, darling! Whatever happened to your coiffure?! Rarity Gasped.
"Oh, you mean my mane? Well, it's a long story. I'm just here to check on the decorations, and then I'll be out of your hair!" Twilight said.
"Out of my hair? What about your hair?!" Rarity said as she started to push Twilight towards the door.
"Wait! Where are we going?! Help!" Twilight yelled.
"It's no use lassie when Rarity insists on something nothing can change her mind." Said Clover
And so Twilight was rushed to Rarity's Boutique where she fixed her mane and was now in the changing room putting on deferent dresses while Spike and Clover McLoven played cards in the lobby. "No, no, uh-uh. Too green. Too yellow. Too poofy. Not poofy enough. Too frilly. Too... shiny. Now go on, my dear. You were telling me where you're from." Rarity stared to pull on the dress twilight was wearing crushing her windpipe.
"I've... been sent... from Canterlot... to" Twilight tried to wheeze out
Rarity's eyes widened at the mention of the city "Huh?" she gasped and let go of the strap and crashed into the all "Canterlot?! Oh, I am so envious! The glamor, the sophistication! I have always dreamed of living there! I can't wait to hear all about it! We are gonna be the best of friends, you and I... Emeralds?! What was I thinking? Let me get you some rubies!" She said and went to get the gems.
Twilight saw her chance and ran out of the dressing room flinging the dress on the ground Picking up Spike who had lost all their bits in the poker game. Note to self scold him about that later. "Quick! Before she decides to dye my coat a new color!"
"Wasn't she wonderful?" Spike said dreamily until Twilight waked him on the head.
"Focus, Casanova. Your still in big trouble for losing all our bits. What's next on the list?" Twilight asked.
"Ahem oh, uh, music! It's the last one!" spike said rolling up the list suddenly they herd a fanfare being sung by birds. They Followed the sound to find a buttermilk yellow Pegasus mare with a light pink mane and three butterflies as a cutie mark conducting them. Beside her a dark azure stallion wearing a brown cloak and his mane was white mane and was spiked back like scales.
While the mare was conducting she noticed one of the bird's song was off "Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, sir? I mean, no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off. Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three." she said but before the birds could start singing again Twilight interrupted them casing them to fly away
"Hello!" Twilight said causing the mare to yelp and The stallion to pull up his cloak as if he were trying to hide. "Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful.... I'm Twilight Sparkle...... What are your names?" She asked.
"Um... I'm Fluttershy." the mare mumbled.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Twilight asked.
"She said her name was Fluttershy. You'll have to forgive her she doesn't do well around new ponies. I'm Swiftblade It's nice to meet you." He said.
"Well, um, it looks like your birds are back, so I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work!" Twilight said awkwardly walking backwards.
"Oookay. Well, that was easy."
"HAAA A baby dragon!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she bumped Twilight out of the way. "Oh, I've never seen a baby dragon before. He's sooo cute!" She cooed.
"Well, well, well...!" Spike said smugly.
"Oh my, he talks. I didn't know dragons could talk. That's just so incredibly wonderful I, I just don't even know what to say!" Fluttershy said.
"Well, in that case we'd better be going." Twilight said.
"Wait, wait! What's his name? Fluttershy said.
"I'm Spike." he said
"Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about?" she asked.
"Well, what do you wanna know?" Spike asked.
"Absolutely everything." Fluttershy said.
"Aaaaagh." Twilight groaned.
"Well... I started out as a cute little purple and green egg..." Spike said as he told Fluttershy and Swiftblade his life story while they walked to the library.
"And that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Do you wanna hear about today?" Spike asked finishing his story.
"Sure why not we got time." Swiftblade said.
Twilight had just about enough and when they finally got to the library she spun around "I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep." Twilight lied.
"No I don't-- whoa!" Spike said as Twilight bumped him off her.
"Aww, wook at dat, he's so sweepy he can't even keep his widdle bawance!" She said in baby talk and mad a weird smile.
"Poor thing, you simply must get into bed..." Fluttershy said as she picked him up and flew in the library.
"Yes, yes, we'll get right on that. Well, g'night!" Twilight said as she slammed the door.
"Huh. Rude much?" Swiftblade said
on the other side of the door "Huh. Rude much?" Spike said.
"Sorry, Spike, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time! I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time. Now, where's the light?" Twilight asked when suddenly the lights flickered on.
"Surprise!" Ponies cried out the light revealing a surprise party.
"Aaaaagh!" Twilight groaned.
