Magic and Honesty

Twilight was sitting at home with a lamp burning at her desk while she paced back and forth trying to think of a new way to tell her parents that she was dating another mare, the last one hundred ways crumpled up in paper wads over flowing from the waste basket crunching under her hooves.

"Oh Spike what am I going to do?" she asked her number one assistant, who with broom in hand was trying to clean up the rejected notes and still avoid his mother/sister/boss as she mopped back and forth. The little drake looked up at the lavender mare and sighed.

"Twi if I knew the answer to that one you'd be the first to know." he stated as he gave her a sympathetic pat on the leg. "It'll be okay, I'm sure of it." now it was Twilight who sighed as she gave a nerves glance at the blank sheet of parchment, nothing on it except the splatter marks from Twilight's shaking quill. "Do you want me to write it?" she shook her head.

"No," she sighed again, "They're my parents, I should be the one to tell them." Spike nodded before he continued to try and clear away the overflowing waste. Twilight looked outside at the moon high in the sky. "Well I wont think of anything with out sleep. Let's go to bed Spike." the lavender unicorn floated the broom over to one of the library's corners. "I don't even feel like studying tonight." Spike stopped dead at the foot of the stairs and looked back at Twilight.

Just then a pink blur bounced into the library and landed right on top of Twilight. "Hiya!" Pinkie stated happily as she bounced off of the stunned unicorn.

"Ugh Pinkie, what the heck are you doing here at," Twilight peered over at the clock, "Midnight?" Pinkie just laughed.

"Well Applejack said earlier that you were unhappy, so I came buy to cheer you up!" the pink mare kept bouncing around.

"Pinkie would you please sit still for two seconds!" Twilight screeched as she tried to stop her head from spinning. Pinkie surprisingly stopped bouncing around.

"Okie dokie lokie." Twilight raised a suspicious eyebrow.

"What are you up to Pinkie?" the lavender mare asked as she took two steps towards the stairs. "Because if you don't mind it's late and I'd really like to go to bed." again another two steps towards the stairs. "So if you could just wait until tomorrow I'd-" Twilight was cut off by the always exuberant Pinkie sense.

"Twitchy tail!" the pink mare cried as she grabbed Twilight and dove under the nearby desk. Sure enough three seconds later a pillow, blanket, and one tired baby dragon fell to the floor, thankfully the pillow cushioned his fall.

"Well that was strange," Twilight muttered but she backed away from Pinkie a smile on her face, "See Pinkie, Spike and I are very tired."

Pinkie nodded, "Okay I'll come back to cheer you up tomorrow." then just as quickly as she'd come Pinkie Pie was just suddenly gone. Leaving Twilight to take Spike back up to bed, as well as try and get some sleep herself.
