Twilight had by now gone other the presentation with Rarity well over five times to the point where Rarity could guess what she was going to say next, Rarity even began a little game where she would count all the times that Twilight said something different to the previous time she had rehearsed her presentation and so far she was astounded to find that not a single word that came out of Twilight's mouth had ever been changed or altered in any kind of way, it impressed Rarity slightly that she was able to keep so focused during a simple rehearsal of the proper thing. Rarity had been lost in her own thoughts for too long because when she next looked up she noticed that Twilight was staring at her with a smile on her face as though she were expecting some kind of answer. Rarity inwardly panicked and let out a small giggle “Well-….” she began before Twilight lifted a hoof the smile that had been on her face had dropped completely and now a frown made its way onto her features.
“You weren't listening to what I said at all were you?” Twilight asked, to which Rarity gasped a look of hurt spreading across her face. Twilight sighed and cleared her throat preparing to go over that slide once again when she saw Spike standing at the doorway with a confused expression written all over his face, Twilight gasped softly to which Rarity gave her a puzzled expression and followed her gaze to the little dragon which in turn caused her to gasp too. Twilight watched as Rarity leaped up from her chair and rushed over to Spike, wrapping him in her arms and simply holding him. Twilight noticed the look of confusion amplify to the point where he was beginning to look uncomfortable with the mar that was holding him “Spike, that's Rarity. You must know her” Twilight said a look of hopefulness dancing in her emotion stricken eyes.
Spike took a moment to look at the white unicorn that stood in-front of him, she did indeed look somewhat familiar to him but he couldn't quite put his claw on where he had seen her before. She looked like some kind of model that you would find in Canterlot or possibly even Manehatten perhaps she was one of them? Spike simply shrugged his shoulders however eliciting a sob from Rarity. He didn't understand why he had two mares crying over him now rather than just the one. He frowned for a moment and stared at Rarity a memory seemed to be making itself known to the young drake. He saw himself in Carousel Boutique with another pony who was dreadfully blurred out to the point where Spike couldn't even take note of any distinguishing features, he did notice the white unicorn in-front of him and heard himself call her “beautiful” Spike gasped slightly as pain sliced into his head making the memory twist and blur until he was pulled out of it and found himself being held in Rarity's arms, however unlike Twilight he didn't pull himself away immediately he simply allowed the feeling of their closeness to flood through him like a rush of cold water the feeling was somewhat odd to him but at the same time oddly addicting. Rarity turned to Twilight and gave her a small smile to which she noticed that Twilight had a tear or two threatening to make their way down her cheeks. Rarity bit her lower lip and pulled Spike out of her arms and placed him on the chair.
“Twilight, had a presentation for you to look at. She thinks that it may help with your memory problem.” Twilight saw Spike roll his eyes at this to which she giggled, Spike always used to do this whenever she had asked him to do something extra and then bolstered that with the promise of some kind of gem to munch on. Spike however instead of staying in the chair jumped from it so he was now standing on the floor “I don't want to sit through a boring presentation to regain memories of you that you are so sure that I have. I don't even know what I am doing here the only thing I do remember was being back in Canterlot and then I closed my eyes and the next thing I know is I wake up here.” his words struck a chord with Twilight who felt the tears she had held at bay come flooding down her cheeks.
“Spike, i'm Twilight Sparkle. This is Rarity.” She motioned to Rarity who gave the dragon a slow wave before turning away to wipe at her eyes.
“You keep saying that name like it is supposed to mean something to me, I don't know who that pony is and this 'Rarity'” when her name was mentioned Rarity whipped her head round and waited eagerly for what he was going to say next “doesn't exist for me. I'm sorry girls but by the end of the day I want to be back in Canterlot with Princess Celestia.” and with that Spike quickly hurried out of the room, Rarity and Twilight turned to each other then looked at the planned presentation before sighing deeply.
“Well, we have a time limit now. Spike needs his memories back by the end of the day or we may lose him forever” Twilight said dabbing her eyes with a tissue in the same manor that Rarity had done previously “We need to find the book I had been studying, perhaps there is a counter spell for such a condition” she said dragging Rarity off to where she was studying the book that started this whole thing. Twilight continued dragging Rarity until she arrived to her room, she pushed into the room and sped towards her desk where the book was and happily levitated it in-front of her before opening it and scanning the pages quickly. Rarity sighed and sat beside the mare gazing down at the same book glancing through the window at the sun which was now at the highest point in the sky.
