Staying Strong

"Twilight, you're over reacting again." said Spike. "Just calm down, I'm sure that everything will go fine on the Brony Holiday like it always does."

"That's just the thing Spike." Twilight said. "We always have to give our absolute best for the bronies. We have to make sure we don't make them hate us, and spread nothing but bad words about us. There are lots of humans in their world that spread nothing but bad words about us. We need to make sure the bronies aren't discouraged and see that we care for them."

"But we do care about them Twilight. And I'm sure that if you just be yourself, they'll still love you. They always do." Spike said, rubbing Twilight's mane trying to comfort her.

"Thanks Spike. But I just want them to have a good time when they get here. I don't want anyone leaving unhappy."

Just as Twilight said the word "unhappy", a pink blur zoomed across her face, and soon popped out Pinkie Pie from out in front of her.

" "Unhappy"?! " she asked. "Who's unhappy?! Is it Spike? Oh I'll cheer you up lickidy split with a Pinkie Tickle!" And with a blink of an eye, Pinkie began to tickle Spike. Spike then bursted out with laughter, so much that he couldn't breathe he was laughing so hard.

"Pinkie! HAHAHAHAHA! Stop! HAHAHA! I'm fine! HAHAHA!" Spike tried to say fully in between his laughs.

"Just wanted to make sure." Pinkie said with a big smile. She then seised the tickling, as Twilight looked at her with an eye-roll.

"I was just saying I don't want the chosen bronies to be unhappy while they're here, or when they leave. I want everything to be exactly right and for nothing to go wrong." said Twilight,

"Well duuuuhh. Of course it'll be perfect. We all do our best every year, and that's we're going to continue to do for them. I already got ten billion cupcakes done and ready to be shipped, and about a billion more to bake." Pinkie Pie just bounced from one side of the room to the next. She was so excited. Twilight couldn't help but chuckle.

"Pinkie Pie, you already have that many cupcakes made for the Brony Holiday? But it's in two months. When did you start baking them?" asked Twilight.

"Last year silly!" Pinkie replied.

"Oh brother." both Twilight and Spike said together. Just then, there was a knock at the library door. Spike went to open it, and there waiting at the door was Rainbow Dash. She trotted inside of the library, giving Spike a quick noogy before coming in. Rainbow was of course in charge of keeping the weather all clear for the holiday.

"Hey Twi, I just got finished placing the scheduel for the cloud clearing for the holiday. We've already received twenty volunteers today." said Dash.

"Oh thank goodness. That's a relief." Twilight said with a sigh.

"I hope I get to hang out with a brony that loves to race." Dash said.

"But Dashie, you're the fastest thing in both worlds." Pinkie commented.

"Yeah, I know. But I at least want to give him a chance if he likes to. Want to give him a motivation to try and get faster."

"Well, that's all fine for you Rainbow Dash." said Twilight. "You see if you can make a good friend, and make sure we all get to make good friends. Remember, we have four bronies that are coming this year." Twilight said.

"Yeah, that reminds me Twilight." said Spike. "Why are there only so little humans coming to Equestria every year? Why can't we ever have any more than like seven or eight come?"

"Well, we're lucky enough to have their company after years of knowing they watched us, and years of convincing Princess Celestia to allow them to come to our world to get to know us, and finally become friends. But, we also have to be cautious. There could be some human who wants to plot against Equestria. And we can't be too careful, so we only invite a hoofful so we can keep an easier eye on them."

"But even if they wanted to, Princess Celestia hoof chooses the bronies that come every year." said Spike. "Wouldn't she know who is a good human and who isn't?"

"There are some humans who are peer pressured into being spies. They could slip into this world, find out our weaknesses and try to take us down." Rainbow Dash commented.

"Then why even have this holiday at all?" Spike asked.

"Because we found out that humans lived pretty miserable lives out there. They have to deal with bullies, corrupt powers, and most of all, unloving families. They watch us because they get a feeling that there is someone, or somepony out there who loves them. That's why Princess Celestia allows Pinkie Pie to look at them, because she at least can show that we know we're watching, and we love them."

Pinkie Pie then chimed in. "But I wanted so much to meet the humans who love us so much, so that way I could show them I love them more. So for a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, I asked Celestia for a time where once a year, the bronies could come here to see us for two days. And at last, she said "yes"."

"You mean she broke down and finally said yes." Dash said.

"Either way it was "yes"." Pinkie exclaimed.

"Either way, we're always glad to have their company. Their gifts of art, music, and just them being here is good enough for us, and I'll be glad to see who this years bronies will be." said Twilight.

"Yeah! I'm just so excited I could explode." said Pinkie.

"PLEASE PINKIE! I just cleaned up the library, try to hold it in." Twilight said haistily.

"Oh alright." Pinkie pouted.
