Chapter 8 – Morning after

The sun from the closed window doors comes in just below your head making the bed a comfortable warm that holds you under the covers with ease.

Your front hooves drape over the mare next to you without protest her own sleep holds for a little longer.

But as your morning begins to roll on you both start to come awake, Twilight is the first to really stir as you shift your hooves away from the awaking mare still trying to just ignore that morning has come to early.

Your hope that she'll just stop doesn't come through as you feel her body shift to now face you, from the bed's movements you crack your eyes open to the rooms brightest light that has been amplified by the sleek white marble around you.

As you hold your eyes to the run nest of a mane mare you get a smile, "Good morning."

Twilight's eyes have come to open but her tone definitely shows shes been up for a little longer than you thought, "Good morning..." Her eyes start to crack to the world as you both are left staring to each other.

But her head quickly springs up as she looks to the windows, "OH! We need to get back! Celestia's test is in the morning."

From the words Twilight sits up in the bed as she moves to the edge, but her words that you thought were going to beckon you to rise don't come as she looks herself over, "...Ok, we'll take a quick bath and then go, we can eat breakfast after Violet takes her test."

As her words end she comes to her hooves as she starts to slightly talk to herself, "Violet should already be up so she should have eaten and-..." Her mindless talking brings her eyes back to you were you still lay as she speaks up, "Come on."

You roll your hoof to her as you just keep your head lazily to your pillow, "You take a bath i'll just wai-..."

"NO, we may be married but I doubt my parents want to smell us." Twilight's horn sparks up as the covers quickly come from your upper body.

"COLD!" Your words come up loud around the room as your eyes widen.

Twilight's horn stops as she cocks her head, "That spell should have ended last night?"

You curl your legs up a little as you jet them out in a stretch, "It did, but it's still cold in here."

"Oh ok good, now you have a reason to get up." Twilight's trot comes up fast as she quickly moves towards the bathroom.

You roll your eyes to the words as you think to yourself, I don't even smell. You poke your head down a little as you take a whiff, but you're proven wrong as you take in the musky sweet smell...It may not be you but you definitely have Twilight's scent all over you, and it's not just s subtle fragrance.

Your eyes drift back to the door as you hear the sound of the water cutting on, "How long do we have?"

You're still damp feeling mane brings an unpleasant welcome from each slight gust of wind that just all around makes you feel uncomfortable. And your coat where your satchel's strap lay has housed some of your wet fur, which just builds to your bodies annoyance.

But you lose your thoughts as you adjust your jaw to the bag in your mouths hold while you follow after the lavender mare.

"Wahy dho I Huhv te hohld thies?" Your muffle your voice through the bag as you hold your gaze to the lavender mare.

Twilight slows her pace as she drifts back to your side and whispers a little, "You messed with my horn last night, I won't get real control of my magic until later in the morning."

A muffled laugh comes from you as you bump into the mare a little, "Yhu didhuh'nt mhind iht."

She matches your bodys bump as she smile to the comment a little sheepish, "That's not the point."

"HU nwfcn sed ner hfords ds?"

Twilight just blinks to your nonsense as she hold her trot next to you. But your meaningless comment goes unanswered as she just nods her head.

You know there's no way she understood you but you also know your mouth is starting to hurt and trying another stance right now may break your teeth, note to self, pack light!

The need to speak doesn't really stay for long as you near the two story white stone building, Twilight dips in front of you as she knocks to the door.

You clench your mouth shut as you wait next to the lavender mare, but with each passing second you become impatient.

However your luck holds off as the door opens to the blue stallion from yesterday, this time however the usual flip to his dark bluish mane is not present and hes not all dressed up like yesterday. Instead he just looks like he rolled out of bed, the stallion's deep tone doesn't say this though as he steps aside, "Ah there you are Twilight, I was wondering what time Violet's test was."

As you follow Twilight inside you bring the bag to hoover from your mouth no longer worried somepony might see you, Night Light gives a strange look to the unfamiliar action but he doesn't speak up as you hear the sound of tiny hooves clapping to the ground.

The light purple filly with a bright reddish pink bow comes galloping over towards the door, as she gets close enough Twilight scoops her into an embrace as she wraps her front hoof around the filly, "Hello Sweetie... You ready to go?"

Night Light holds a smile to the lavender mare and the filly as his horn starts up with its own glow, you feel the bag in your hold getting pulled as the stallion's voice comes up, "I'll tell Velvet you two already stopped by when that mare wakes up."

You move the satchel from your body as you feel Night Light's pull coming to it, the stallion's voice comes up as the satchel comes to his magical hold, "And don't worry about Violet she already ate."

Twilight moves her own satchel from around her as she takes it to her hooves, the mare not using her magic turns Night Light's eye for a second but he doesn't pay attention to it as Twilight starts to follow after him.

From Twilight's free hold the light purple filly comes dashing to you as she stretches her front hooves from the ground as high as they can go towards you. The action of the smiling filly brings your own childlike grin as you bring the filly close in a hug as you look over her bow making sure its not too tight, "Hey sweetie..."

Your words spark a response from the stairs as a boyish voice starts to trail down, "About time you two got here, Celestia's test is in like an hour?!" Spike's comment brings the lavender mare from Night Lights side as she picks her trot up, "Your right! We need to go, bye dad."

Night Light nods his head to the lavender mare as he watches her moving back towards you and Violet.

Spike quickens his pace as well as Twilight takes her first steps outside with the filly following her, "Are you ready Violet?!" Twilight's voice holds an encouraging almost excited high pitched tone as it prompts the filly's head to shake.
