A Break, Finally

Source

Twilight Sparkle was nothing if not devoted to her work, which naturally leads to times where she just straight-up forgets to relax every once in a while. Her faithful assistant Spike gets pretty worried about this, and so turns to the one pony in all of Equestria who might actually get his friend to rest for once.

"It's a mental block, that's it. She read the dictionary once, saw the word 'break', and then just phased it out of her mind from that day onwards That's the only explanation I can think of right now."

You're missing a period there between "onwards" and "That's".

All in all, this was a cute little slice of life, a nice glimpse into just a few minutes before the very first episode.

Celestia looked down to him, smiling, and gave him a quick pat on the head. "Let this be a lesson, young dragon. When in doubt, never underestimate the power of subtlety."

Next day, after a certain Summer Sun Celebration.

Real subtle sunbutt.

I try.

Amusing, but it does make the argument between Spike and Twilight in the actual episode odd as neither brings up the subtle meaning of Celestia giving her the book immediately beforehand.

Actually, that would be "two days later". They mentioned that the Summer Sun Celebration was "the day after tomorrow". Otherwise, good one. :-D

Yeah, well, Twi will realize her mistake. It might take more than a year, but she WILL figure it out.

Once again, this is a really good one-shot with excellent characterizations. And, as was mentioned, considering that this was just a few minutes before the start of the first episode is a really good detail. And, oddly enough, I could easily see Twilight THANKING Celestia for this, among MANY other things, during a Hearth's Warming visit to Silver Shoals just a few years down the road.
