Into the... Wild?

From the basket on the floor, a groan was heard. "Twilight! It's still early!"

Blinking, Twilight turned head toward Spike, looking rather sheepish. "Sorry, Spike. Go back to sleep. I'll give you a few more minutes when it's time to get up later."

"Okay, you better..." Spike muttered drowsily, shifting in his bed. Soon, only snores left the basket, leaving Twilight with only her thoughts.

"I wonder what that dream was about..." Twilight murmured to herself, shifting in her bed. "It had seemed so... real. And I wonder why I could understand them. I mean, I would have guessed that they would hiss or something like Opal does... scientifically, that's what all cats do. Plus, what were they talking about? Winged and horned cats?" Twilight said, and for a few moments, her eyes flickered toward the moonlight pouring through the windows, trying to figure it all out.

But soon, the alicorn burst out in a small fit of laughter. "They're right! I look into these things way too much! It was only a silly dream! Nopony would be able to know what all dreams are about!" She said, settling down as she stretched her blanket covers back over her.

It was only a dream. Tomorrow was going to be fine. At least, that's what Twilight told herself.

Twilight awoke in the morning, bright sunlight already streaming into the window next to her bed. Letting out a yawn, she slowly pulled herself out of bed. She put on a gentle smile as she passed Spike's bed.

"I'll start on some breakfast for us," Twilight murmured, but was only answered with a loud snore. Holding back a laugh Twilight trotted down the stairs. "I suppose I could make a daisy and daffy sandwich," The lavender mare said to herself as she bgan to shuffle around some food on the counter with her magic. "I could probably make some toast and put a gem in it.... do we have any gems?"

Suddenly, a yell was heard from upstairs, making Twilight quickly put her head up. "Spike?!"

A muffled reply was shortly followed. "You got a letter by the Pri-" Spike's answer was cut short as another belch echoed from him.

Quickly, Twilight headed up the stairs, blinking toward the purple and green dragon. "Are you alright?"

:"Y-Yeah... now there's a scroll too..." Spike said, groaning slightly as he pulled the blanket back over his head.

Slowly, Twilight's magic surrounded both the letter and the scroll, and immediately her eyes flicked over the letter briefly, before a small smile encased her lips. "Spike? I think I know what we're going to do today."
