//------------------------------// // Twilight Sparkle // Story: Spider Stories // by Shimmer Shy //------------------------------// Twilight Sparkle scrambled around the room, looking for her book on Weather Spells. She groaned in frustration. "Spike!" she called, waking the baby dragon up. He jumped up, startled. "Where's my Weather Spells for Dummies book?!" "You woke me up for that?" he mumbled angrily, finding the book where it always was and giving it to Twilight. "Thanks." she said quickly, opening the book and walking towards the door. She was about to go through the doorway, but stopped in her tracks, for a spider web covered the way out. "Um...Spike?" "What is it?!" he exclaimed, already back in bed. "Never mind." Twilight replied, surprised (not really) by his tone. She turned her attention back to the spider web, then smiled. I am so stupid, she thought to herself and picked up a broom with her magic, ready to get rid of the web. She twirled it around the broom and then let out a sigh of relief. "Hey!" something below Twilight squeaked. Looking down she noticed a little, tiny spider and gasped, scooting away from it. The broom dropped, narrowly missing the spider. "That wasn't very nice of you to ruin my home!" "Y-you talk!" Twilight managed to say. "Of course. Don't think I'm crazy. You're a talking unicorn." he replied. "There has to be some logical way of getting him out of here." Twily whispered. Oh, right! She shot him with her magic, and all that was left of him was black dust. She stood up, now ready to go where she was planning to in the first place. Unfortunately, a swarm of spiders were waiting right outside. Twilight's face fell. "Uh oh." "Charge!" the leader yelled, and they all jumped on top of the talking purple unicorn. Don't worry, she survives.
