Magical Bond

I stepped into the library to be greeted by a particular mare. “Duskie! How was the trip?” I plopped down onto the floor. “Not very helpful…” Twilight stood silent. She obviously hadn’t seen Blitz’s flying control. “Blitz cut his wing so now we can’t get an overhead view.” The lavender mare giggled softly. “Can’t Dash help?” I rolled my eyes. Ever since the mares had come back Blitz was extremely sensitive of his pride. Having a mare do a stallion’s job wouldn’t help. Twilight nuzzled me gently against the neck. She pulled back and smiled. “I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if Dash helped just a little.” I let out a small sigh. She was right, Dash was technically him. “Okay, go ahead and ask her if she’s willing to help.” She gave a small nod and went upstairs. I had no idea what she was doing until she came down with a checklist. A LONG checklist.

“What is that?” I asked not sure what to make of it. Her smile faded a bit. “It’s a list…” Well DUH! “…of complaints.” My face filled with confusion. She realized this and lashed out unexpectedly. “Ponies are onto us, Dusk! They’ve been complaining about how much we look alike! Some say it’s weird, others say it’s coincidental. But other ponies complain about our cutie marks and point them out! Dusk, we have to do something!” I tapped my chin, sometimes this helped in tough decisions, but not this time. Twilight did the same, scrunching up her nose and staring for what felt like eternity. Did I do that? We both popped at the same time. “Rarity’s/Elusive’s cutie mark spell!” I wasn’t at all surprised that we both spoke at the same time, that had been going on for far too long to even notice it, what DID surprise me was that Spines had crashed down the stairs. “Spines!? Are you alright?” I ran over to her in a flash and found a sapphire in her claws. I blinked helplessly at the jewel gleaming in front of me.

Spike ran down after her to trip as well and land on my back. Twilight reacted the same way I did. “Spike! Are you alright?” He hopped off of my back and helped Spines up. “Yeah, luckily I landed on Dusk’s back. Sorry Dusk.” I blew some fur back into place before turning back to the group. “Huh? Oh, yeah, no problem!” Spines dusted herself off before checking the sapphire for scratches. ‘she sure cares about that gem’ I opened my mouth when Twilight stole the words right out of it!

“Where’d you get that gem, Spines?” The small dragon seemed to blush through her purple scales. “Uh… GOTTA GO, BYE!” She ran towards the door but didn’t get there before I grabbed her tail with my magic. “Hey! Let me go!” Spike seemed to run for the door as well but Twilight thought the same and grabbed him. “What’s going on, Spines? You’re being…distant.” My brain refused to spit it out but I managed. She seemed to blush more before she fell limp. “Fine. Me and spike have been hanging out and I got the sapphire from him. HAPPY!?” I looked at Twilight who turned to me as well. We both burst out laughing, releasing them from our magical grip. They both scrambled to their feet. “It’s not funny Twilight/Dusk!” “Sorry Spines.” Twilight nodded. “Sorry Spike.” Unsurprisingly they both stomped upstairs, slamming the door behind them. I think Spike even opened it again to slam it himself. Twilight walked over to the library door and turned to me. “Well?” She asked. “Are we going or not?”

We were walking toward Carousel Boutique when I bumped into a big pink blob. “Pinkie!” ‘Wait, that wasn’t my voice’ Sure enough Twilight had crashed into Berry’s double. It was obviously Berry I had bumped into. “Sorry Twilight! Me and Berry were on our way to the park!” Berry jumped up with a huge grin on his face. “We saw Rainbow Blitz doing some awesome moves!” Pinkie burst out in giggles. “That was Rainbow DASH, silly!” “So THAT’S where Dash is!” I looked to my left to see that Twilight had disappeared. “Twilight wait!” We left Pinkie and Berry in a rush. I could hear Berry behind me yelling “What the hay was THAT for?”. I finally caught up with Twilight when she stopped at the park. Sure enough Dash was there, but there wasn’t anypony else except… “BLITZ!?” He quickly spun around and panicked. “Uh… I was just here because…uh…To make fun of her! Yeah! To make fun of her!” Dash didn’t react nicely to this. “WHAT!? I THOUGHT YOU WERE CHEERING ME ON! YOU KNOW! TO WATCH MY AWESOME MOVES?” Twilight giggled, getting an angry blush from Blitz. Dash landed. “Hey Dusk. What are you guys doing here?” “YEAH! Why ARE you here Dusk!? I thought you wanted to spend some ‘quality time’ with Twi!” Blitz put A LOT of emphasis on the ‘quality time’. I saw a deep blush form on Twilight’s face. Mine too now that I think about it. “BLITZ!!” It was my first instinct, I tackled him and put a hoof over his mouth. I turned back to Twilight. Crap, I think I broke her. WAIT! I DIDN’T DO THIS! BLITZ DID! She shook her head like she was trying to get bad images out…wait a minute… My face got even redder when I realized what was happening. Bad images…Deep blush…Frozen in place…IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE!
