Ch. 4: Twilight and Rarity

Twilight Sparkle's Notes

This is the fourth day I've recorded every event of every day in this journal. Rarity told me it would help keep track of the day's events while keeping the frustrations down to a minimum. I must say, though, that while I trust my friend's judgement, it hasn't been working. I still worry, and I still pace. You know, I'm not always so sure for the psychological reasoning behind pacing. I suppose it could have something to do with the steady rythym; then again, it could also be a result of nervous energy. I really haven't decided yet.

9:00-9:31AM: Ate Breakfast - Oats-Meal.
9:32-11:15AM: Searched and studied The Internal Wonders: Ponie's Guide.
Results: None that were satisfactory.
11:16-11:41AM: Ate Lunch - hay, water.
11:43AM-3:25PM: Searched and studied The Mysteries of Drakes.
Results: None that were satisfactory.
3:2PM-Unknown: Woke up on top of the book Opening the Gaps after studying it for an untimed period. Within that period, I have confirmed my results to be unsatisfactory.

All of my days have been like that. I can't find the answer. There's nopony that seems to know. I don't want to ask Celestia for help; not yet, at least. Perhaps my Zebra friend may know a solution to this. Or, Perhaps not. Whether there even is one in these books remains to be seen. Speaking of "seeing" things, I haven't seen Spike around today. I hope he's okay.

Lately, I've noticed that Spike seems to hold a substantial amount of anxiety. I guess I'm not the only one with an alarm system ringing in my head, but before Hearts Warming, Spike was pretty low on energy; more so than usual. I know he's lazy a lot of the time, but this lack of energy seemed DIFFERENT somehow.

Oh no. What if he knows? He couldn't possibly... Dear, sweet Celestia, Spike will lose it if he were to ever find out! He'd hate me, hate Ponyville, hate everything! I could never hope to find him if he left. I could never hope to find his old self. I could never...

I guess that's why I need to keep hoping on what is possible. There's a chance that I can do this. There's a chance that I can turn this experiment into a success. But it's so far away, it's kind of hard to reach; kind of like how each time I look through my telescope, I can see each planet, each constellation, but I still won't be able to truly know until I can do more than acknowledge and treasure their distant existence...

Miss Rarity's Diary

The days are becoming longer, but they're not supposed to. With each passing second, I can hear a faint *tick!*

How the noise irritates me so. It's laughing at me, I know it. It all could be in my head. Remember, Rarity; remember what Twilight said. That could be creating the illusion of the sound, that could be the reason you're dreaming about clocks and you're becoming frightened at the sound of the stove or microwave. It's no reason to worry, it'll all be over soon.

How soon, I wonder? It's been so many years, it seems, since Twilight said the experiment was supposed to end. Key Words: supposed To. This is taking forever. Not to be crude, but prior to Pinkie Pie's parties, I am not fond of surprises.

Twilight had better end this experiment soon, or the experiment will end itself; and I will be the first to know of it, I'm sure!

---

It wasn't until much later that I managed to get my claws on these. I hate surprises, too, Rarity; and that's why I will never forget this. It's kind of odd, though. They wrote this a long time ago, and I can understand not being able to fully comprehend everything then; but even now, I still feel like I'm missing something.

[Path_of_cloud]

949206 I never know personally. He has bad luck with pics. Anyways, LA GASP, cliff hanger my old nemesis; we meet again. Must wait two weeks...

P.S. I make people wait much longer so don't feel bad.

[Saekwaka]

949262 Oh crap. Thanks lol

[Saekwaka]

l>>949269 Oh. Well, I hope that doesn't stop him from viewing.

Also, it'd be nice to know where everyone thinks this story may be going or where they want it to go. Inspiration please!

[spikethed]

949206 no it just means now i have to wait

[Saekwaka]

949311 Sorry, bro. Unless I can come up with an idea tomorrow, then it looks like you'll have to.
Writer's block sucks.

[spikethed]

949269 Yeah its true I have been waiting for what is it three weeks now? It just makes me sad that I have to wait

[spikethed]

949331 ok I can wait. I guess i should use this time to do HW. naaaaaa! Time for poines

[Path_of_cloud]

949338 It's not my fault... this time. At least be happy that it's worth the wait. I went through the first chapter doing edits, and I'm not even sure how I can make it close to how awesome the new chapter is. Much of my night, tonight , will be dedicated to finding out though.

949309 Happy Sparity ending is what I want. Also, I suspect Spike is about to go full fledged dragon for some reason that is foreseeable, and that Twi and Rarity are trying to stop it.

P.S. Don't drink the kool-aid.

[spikethed]

949369 very will friend I will take your word and hope for some Sparity soon

[Saekwaka]

949369

[Jack Kellar]

"but I still won't ne able truly know"
Don't you mean "but I still won't be able to truly know"?

[Path_of_cloud]

949772 ... I'm gonna hope it's the first one.

Um... I'm in a number of groups. The Looking for Editors group? By the way, you don't have a groups you're in thing on your personal page.

[Saekwaka]

Looking for Editors. If you needed an editor, why didn't ya just ask?
Those are quicker and easier to do than writing.

And some of the Sparity ones.

[Path_of_cloud]

952538 I'm not. I just happen to be associated with the group as I direct new writers to them. I have two editors, work um like dogs.

Ah. Yes, I'm usually responsible for keeping the folders updated.

[DarkDMan]
