Nopony had ever expected that the blizzard was going last this long, but judging by how the storm wasn't really budging from it's current place, it was now certain. This storm was not only getting in the way of everypony's lives, but it was also starting to get in the way of Starlight's studies, and this really ticked off Twilight. Speaking of Twilight and Starlight, they where about as board as ever, and with the lights being knocked out, it just added more garbage to the heap.
"Ughh!" Twilight said aggravated," When will this storm end!"
"I'm not too sure Twilight, but judging from what we heard, this storm is going to be lasting for a long time." Starlight said as she looked out of the window.
Twilight immediately started slamming her head into one of her books repeatedly. This was not something that she wanted to happen, and also she was starting to lose track on what Starlight's lessons where supposed to be about for that day.
"Whatever Pegasus decided to pull this little stunt. I hope I don't run into him, or else he's going to learn something more than friendship." Twilight said coldly.
Starlight started giggling
"It's funny when your mad."
Twilight immediately glared at Starlight for a few seconds before Starlight said
"Sorry."
Twilight sighed and put her books away back into there respective shelves.
"It's alright Starlight, I just really can't stand when things like this, which can be prevented by the way, come up and ruin everything." Twilight said as she put away her last book.
"Well, lets look at the bright side of things." Starlight began," I'm caught up in my lessons, and we did have a fun time hanging out at that message therapy store didn't we?"
Twilight smiled and said
"Yeah, it was pretty fun. And , come to think about it, at least Spike is getting some time alone with Thorax."
Starlight started giggling again at the mention of Spike and Thorax.
"What's so..Oh I get it." Twilight said
"Hey Twi, how much do you want to bet that those two are already in a relationship with one another?" Starlight said as she continued laughing.
"Oh come on Starlight, are you really going to get back into that. Whatever Spike and Thorax are doing is entirely their privacy." Twilight paused " Fifty bits." She said smirking.
"Your on!" Starlight said as both her and Twilight shook hooves.
A few minutes passed with nothing else happening, except for both Starlight and Twilight making funny jokes about what Spike and Thorax where doing. When all of a sudden, a loud knock interrupted their conversation. Twilight went over towards the door, and opened it up, only to revile Princess Cadence standing outside of their doorway. Starlight, by force of habit, bowed down to the ground in respect for the princess, while Twilight gave a big smile.
"Hello there Twilight and Starlight, how are you both doing today?" Cadence asked in her normal friendly voice
"Things have been going, well...Kinda boring to say the least." Twilight said as she rolled her eyes
Cadence gave out a small chuckle before clearing her throat and fixing a serious look on her face.
"Well, I happen to have some bad news for the both of you." Cadence said bluntly
"What's the problem?" Starlight asked
"You see, this blizzard is really starting to get worse and worse as the days continue on. I honestly thought that this storm would end in a few days, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the case. With that being said. I have to ask, for the sake of your safety and well being, that you pack your things and get you, Starlight, and Spike out of here as soon as possible." Cadence said with a tinge of sadness at having to ask her sister in law to leave.
Twilight was completely shocked at what she had just heard, but she understood. However, there was one thing that began floating in her mind. Spike. She knew that Spike would be devastated if he had to leave Thorax this early in the trip, but the storm was getting bad , and it wouldn't be completely safe if Spike just stayed in a room while all of this was happening. It was a very hard decision to make, so she began asking Princess Cadence
"Princess Cadence, what about Thorax?" Twilight said
"Thorax will be just fine here." Cadence said in a calm manner
"But, I can't just take Spike away from Thorax like that. I mean, it would just devastating for the both of them. What should I do?"
Princess Cadence placed her hoof on her upper lip, as she took the time to think. Almost as instantly as she began thinking, an idea popped into her head.
"I have a suggestion. Why not take Thorax under your wing as well. I'm quite sure that he'll be a good learner." Cadence asked
Twilight's eyes lit up as bright as light bulbs as the thought of having another student to teach.
"Yes,yes,yes,yes. I will." Twilight said excitedly
"That's good, I'll go get Thorax and Spike, and you two can meet me down in the thrown room in a few minutes." Cadence said as she made her way towards Spike and Thorax's room.
Meanwhile, Thorax and Spike where both snuggling with one another in bed, until a knock interrupted the peace that was their room. Spike immediately got up and made his way towards the door, and opened it. Outside of the doorway, was Princess Cadence. Spike, being rather surprised that she was there, asked
"Hey Princess Cadence, how are you doing?"
"I'm doing well Spike, however I need both you and Thorax to gather your things and meet me down at the thrown room." Cadence said as she levitated some of Spike's bags into a aura of purple light.
"Why is that, are we leaving?" Spike asked sadly
"Yes, but don't worry, there is a big surprise for the both of you that I think you will love." Cadence said as she grinned ear to ear.
Thorax and Spike didn't really understand what was going on, but they both fallowed the Princess's commands, and within a few minutes had everything down in the thrown room. Upon arriving at the said thrown room, Twilight , Starlight, Cadence, and Shining Armor all made their way towards Spike and Thorax. Spike, confused asked.
"So what's going on?"
"Well Spike" Twilight began " This blizzard that's happening right now is really starting to get more and more dangerous. And because of that, we all need to leave for Ponyville. However, I do have some good news for the both of you."
Spike's scales started drooping as soon as he heard the word 'leave', but they soon perked up when Twilight announced some good news.
"Spike, I have decided to take Thorax under my wing. Which means that not only will he be around you more often, but also he'll be living with us as well in the castle!" Twilight said happily
Spike and Thorax couldn't believe what they had just heard. Thorax was coming to live with them back at Ponyville? This was a dream come true for Spike. Spike and Thorax, out of complete excitement, turned towards each other and proceeded to lock lips with one another, in front of everypony. Nopony was really bothered by the display of affection, as it was repetitively common in the Chrystal Empire. Spike and Thorax looked at everypony after the kiss and said
"We'll explain it later." in perfect unison
After that little public display of affection, both Spike and Thorax made their way towards Twilight and the two of them gave her the biggest hug that they could give. After the hug, they both placed themselves next to Starlight and Twilight. As Cadence was preparing her Transportation spell, Starlight tapped Twilight's shoulder and said
"Hey guess what."
"What?" Twilight asked
"You owe me fifty bits." Starlight said as she put on a smug smile.
"Dang it!" Twilight yelled
Almost immediately, Spike, Thorax, Starlight, and Twilight where transported back to Ponyville, and back into their castle.
