//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 Preparing Spike's Welcome back to Ponyville Party // Story: The Lost Baby Dragon // by Boop-Happy Lass //------------------------------// "That Winter Wrap Up we did last time, was good now was it?" said Twilight and let out a sigh "Those were good memories." then Twilight sat on a chair right next to Spike and thought, "I just wish that all things will come to normal when he wakes up." then stands and says goodbye. She went out side the hospital and goes back to her library and said, "I've never been here in a while now." and giggles. Then she took some books on the shelves and tries to study them, she took out a Magic Spell book and also Pony Diseases book, as she started to read the first book then she thought about Spike, in the way he helped her make a checklist about her spells, the way he supports her when she couldn't see in the dark, and how he cheers her up. Twilight didn't want to forget those times he helped her.. Then she started reading through the pages, and concentrates. Meanwhile on her friends, Pinkie was so happy, Rarity was happy too, Applejack continued on doing her chores on the farm, Rainbow was on the skies busting clouds and doing her tricks and Fluttershy was glad that they finally found Spike. The weather there in Ponyville was really good, nopony was fighting and angry. Everypony was all happy. "What a happy day it is today!" said Pinkie then hops around Twilight's library to see what she was doing. Pinkie opened the door and said, "What ya doing Twilight?" Twilight was still reading the book, so Pinkie shouted, "Twilight!' then Twilight groaned and said, "What is it?" "Come on out!" Pinkie said, "I'm gonna make Spike's Welcome back to Ponyville party, wanna help?" "No thanks, I have to study my magic spells." "Come on!"-Pinkie was circling at Twilight-"you do want to be happy that he is back right?" Twilight groaned and said, "Fine.." "Woohoo! lets go then!" They first went to Sweet Apple Acres to see if Applejack wants to come along and help make the party, Applejack nodded but said, "After I'm done feeding the chickens and the pigs okay, I won't be late!" Pinkie nodded and Twilight just waved her hoof and said goodbye to Applejack. Then they went to the Carousel Boutique to see if Rarity can come, Rarity said, "Why of course darling, I would always come when it has to do with Spike's back to home party." Pinkie smiled then Rarity joined them. Twilight had a checklist of her friends, Then checked Rarity and AJ on the list. And then they planned on going for Rainbow Dash but then Twilight remembered that its on the sky, so they just went to Fluttershy's cottage and see if she can help. Fluttershy joined them so now they're gonna go to Rainbow's house.. "Okay," Twilight said, "Rainbow is the only one left." "Okie Dokie Lokie!" They went to get a hot air balloon and went to Rainbow Dash's house. "We are here!" said Pinkie "Wait! don't go yet!" Twilight said, "I still need to cast the spell that lets ponies walk on clouds." "Okie Twily!" Twilight cast the spell and they jumped down and knocked the door, Rainbow opened the door and said, "Oh hey guys!" "What are you guys doing here? come on in." and they went inside the house then Pinkie asks, "Wanna help us on making Spike's Welcome back to Ponyville party??" "I'm in if you all of you guys are," Rainbow said, "so are you guys in?" Everyone nodded and Rainbow has joined them on making the party. Now they went to Sugar Cube Corner hoping to see if Applejack was there already, they went inside and sat on the chairs. "Hey where is Applejack?" Rainbow asked, then somepony opened the door, and went inside and said, "I'm right here everypony sorry if I'm late." it was Applejack.. "Okay, I guess were all here now," said Twilight "Totally!" "Shall we do it now Pinkie? I'mma wait if no." "Oh don't worry, we are gonna do it right now" Pinkie said, "But first we'll need the following things." "What are they sugar cube?" "Okie here it goes,"-Pinkie took a deep breath-"Streamers, balloons of course, cakes, oooooh ICE CREAM!, a chocolate fountain, pies and I don't know about my checklist but it says we also need plates? we already have those." "Okay.." Twilight said, " Shall we get those things then??" "Okie, Twilight here's the checklist so that you will not miss a single thing!" "Thanks Pinkie," Twilight said "alright everypony lets get to shopping!" Everypony nodded and walked out of Sugar Cube Corner. "Okay first is streamers okay follow me everypony," said Twilight They went through a shop with streamers but they forgot something its their, bits. "We forgot our bits great."-Rainbow puts her hoof on her face-"Really GREAT!" "Uhm.. Now.. What Twilight.." said Fluttershy "Hmm, lets see." Twilight said, "Applejack do you have some bits or not?" "I do have some," Applejack replied, "but are you sure my bits are enough to buy all the things Twi?" "I don't know well let's just hope that it will be enough for all of it, if not, I don't know what to do anymore!" "Okay if you say so." When Applejack brought her bits, they went to the shop and said, "Ahem! um hello there can we buy those streamers?" said Twilight The sales pony glanced on them and said, "Why hello there Twilight Sparkle!" "Oh hi, we would like to buy some streamers please." "For what?" The sales pony asked "Uhh you see, Pinkie told us that she needed streamers to-" "For a party? if so, you can have them for free!" Then the pony squinted "are you sure you're not lying?" "Ask Pinkie." Rainbow said, "Then you will know." "Okay then you can buy the streamers." When they were done with the streamers Twilight glanced at the checklist and see what is next, "Okay next are balloons everypony." said Twilight everypony was finding a balloon shop, Rarity found it, "Ah right here darling." said Rarity. And then they went through the shop and explained why they need to buy the balloons so bad and they also answered a bit of questions, "So do you know why we need those now?" Twilight asked "Yeah I think so and by the way you can buy them now because if Pinkie is making a party it is always never late so yeah I understand why you all are in a rush." "Thanks so much!" Then it went fine after that, when they got all the things on the checklist they went back to Sugar Cube Corner to see what Pinkie is doing now. "We're back Pinkie" said Twilight "So you got it all?" "Yep, we got all of 'em sugar cube." Applejack replied "Can't wait to get this done!" said Rarity "Yeah I know right????" said Dash "Let's begin on putting the decorations!" Everyone nodded and they started to put the decorations they all worked together to make it actually perfect, Pinkie was the one saying where to put the balloons, streamers and the chairs she even arranged the tables and Fluttershy was cleaning the floor, Rainbow Dash was helping Pinkie on putting the streamers and balloons, and Rarity was placing the cakes, Twilight made a checklist and Applejack was helping Twilight double check the checklist. After they were done at putting the decorations, everypony panted because they worked so hard to get the job done. "Alright now ponies, I got to do the rest now, how about you all get home and rest?" said Pinkie "Yeah, sure thanks again Pinkie!" Everypony waved their hooves and said goodbye, and now they back to their homes Pinkie made Twilight's day shine and she was so happy in that day. Twilight said, "I think I'll visit Spike at the hospital tomorrow its been a tiring day." Twilight went to her bedroom and slept immediately. Twilight woke up on 7:00 AM the same time she lost Spike on the Everfree Forest but she didn't need to be worried anymore because Spike is now back to Ponyville. She remembered what she promised yesterday that she will visit Spike at the hospital to check if he is okay now. But first she was eating breakfast and taking a bath, and then she went to the hospital.
