I whimpered as yet another crash of thunder scared me back into the cover of purple and green scales clad in a light blue blanket. Spike chuckled, "Hey now," he murmured as he gently stroked my mane, "It's not that bad out."
I glared at him, "It's supposed to be noon," I pointed out, then pointed my hoof towards the window, "And it looks like midnight." I yelped again when lightning flashed illuminating the inside of the library in creepy shadows, "And I want my daddy!" I cried as tears slipped down my cheeks.
Spikes heart broke as he wrapped his arms even tighter around the sobbing filly in his arms, after all she was his BPLSBFF. Not to mention you'd have to be truly heartless for the image of the tiny sobbing red and purple maned filly clutching a plush pink teddy bear in her hooves not to break your heart.
"Aw come on Jadey," he cooed as I sniffled and clung even tighter to my teddy bear, "Don't cry, please Celestia, don't cry." I whimpered again and nuzzled into his chest. "Your BDBBBFF is here, and I promise, on my dragon's honor, that I won't let anything happen to you."
It was right about then that Mommy came galloping in like her tail was on fire. "Spike! Stryker!" she yelled out looking around wildly.
"Mommy!" I wailed as I flung myself at her and clung onto her neck for dear life. I sniffled and buried my face in her mane while she hugged me in return. "What's going on?" I asked as I sniffled, "Is Auntie Tia mad about something?"
Mommy's ears flattened against her skull, and she'd just put me down on the floor in enough time for me to avoid the same fate of being flattened to the floor by the rainbow maned mare from yesterday as well.
"Alright you-" she stopped mid sentence as her eyes landed on me, still clutching my teddy bear to my chest and sniffling, where I sat in front of Mommy. My eyes were slightly brimming with tears, and mother nature, who was a very big meany pants, chose that moment to let loose yet another round of thunder and lightning.
"Oh darling," the white unicorn with the purple mane I recognized as 'Ms. Rarity' cooed as she scooped up my cowering form into her forehooves, "Don't worry the nasty storm can't get you here." she turned an icy cold glare on the Pegasus still sitting on Mommy, "However I'm half tempted just to throw you out there into it Rainbow Dash, I mean really!"
'Rainbow Dash's only reply was, "But she knows what happened to the Princess!" I sniffled and looked at Mommy.
"Mommy," I sniffled again, "What happened to Auntie Tia? And why isn't the sun out any more?" all I got in the way of an answer was, "It's grownup stuff honey, why don't you and Spike go own up stairs and take a nap?"
I huffed as Spike urged me up the stairs with gentle promises of a new gem necklace and a cool bedtime story, I paused on the stairs for one last parting comment, "Mommy when is Daddy finally gonna get here?"
There was a long pause for a second then there was a sigh and a, "Soon honey, hopefully very very soon."
