The Note
"Spike! Spike!” Twilight yelled up the stairs of her tree-home. “Do you know where the princess-letter crisis pack is!” Twilight was rushing around the bottom floor of the library in a mad search.
“The what?” Spike wiped the sleep from his eyes as he made his way down the stairs.
“Princess Celestia sent me a letter!” Twilight shouted back. “I'm going to Canterlot on an important assignment and I can‘t find my saddle bags!” A flash of purple light pulsed out from twilight’s horn enveloping every object in the room with purple glow and levitating them in front of twilight’s eyes for inspection.
“Twilight!” Spike knew shouting is the only way to reach Twilight when she is like this. “It‘s upstairs in the closet.” He let out a sigh. “Like it’s always been.”
“Yes! The closet!” Twilight sprinted up the stairs and flung open the closet with her hooves. Spike was right. There was the saddle bag she was looking for flanked by her other bags. Each one pre packed and stuffed to the top. Letter crisis pack was sitting between two others. One labeled “monster attack”. Another labeled “Rainbow Crash”. That last one was a new one only put together after Rainbow Dash demolished her roof last year.
“Can you look after the library while I'm gone." It was a statement not a question by Twilight. With a shake of her horn she dispelling the spell still going on downstairs causing a loud crash everything that was floating fell to the floor. “And make sure you clean up that mess too!” With that last order, Twilight jumped off the balcony and flew off.
“Its not like this doesn’t happen every other week.” Spike groaned and reached into the closet to pull out a broom with the label “Twilight has gone crazy.. Again”.
o-o-o-o
“Will she come?” asked luna. No one answered and not knowing the answer herself starting pasting back and forth. Her hooves were wearing a hole in the floor with each worried step. “Did she get the message?” She asked herself. “Did she believe it?” The princess put her hoof to her chin. “Did Philomena play a prank on me?” She slammed her hoof back on the floor “If she did, I swear I’ll...”
o-o-o-o
“This is the right room?“ Twilight thought. She looked up at the brass plate fixed to oak the door. “One Un four.” Twilight blinked. “It’s right, it’s just not a name, or a number.” Twilight looked down at the paper she held in her hoof then back to the door again. Yes, it matched, but why would the princess have a door like this. She ended up taking a few more glances up and down before she decided to knock.
o-o-o-o
Inside the room, Luna was already planning her revenge. She knew where Celesta kept the bird seed and where she could find a live badger, but her planing was stopped cold by a hoof on her door.
o-o-o-o
The door was slow to respond to her knock and Twilight was starting to question her choice again. “Maybe I did have the wrong door.” She turned her back to the door to look around for something she could have missed and was quickly snatched from behind and pulled through the doorway.
o-o-o-o
"Twilight I've been waiting for you to come!" Luna smiled down at Twilight trying her best not to look too much like she was up to something.
"What?” Twilight's eyes darted around the room trying to figure out where she was now and why it wasn’t Celestia that was talking to her. “I thought Celestia wanted to see me?”
Luna blushed and looked away. "I’m sorry I tricked you Twilight." She paced away a little. “I forged my sisters writing and lure you here under false intentions.”
“So there is no crisis?” Twilight asked as she was already regretting the fuss she had finding a pack she never actually needed.
Luna turned back to twilight and drooped her head. “No Twilight. I called you hear for me.” The princess’s left hoof was hiding behind her right one.
Twilight flattened her brow as she looked at luna. “Why did you do that? You could have just asked me to come.”
Luna was ashamed. It was written all over her face. “I didn’t think you would come if I just asked.” Luna sighed. “Twilight. I’m lonely. I have been that way for awhile.”
"Oh.” The tension in the room caused both ponies discomfort. Twilight knew Luna was lonely, but she never thought much about it and now she wished she had. ”Okay" Twilight smashed the tension with her words."What do you want to do"
"Well.” Luna looked around the room. She should have thought about this part of the plan, but she was so sure she wouldn't get this far. Now that she had, she had no idea that to do. “I have that new Mane-Cube?" Luna offered.
“Mane-Cube?” Twilight blinked and pointed a hoof at a hovering blue sphere in the corner of the room. “You mean that thing?”
Luna simply had to blush again. “Ya. That’s, so you have you played before?”
o-o-o-o
It was a dark and stormy night and the mare pair was trapped out in the haunted woods. Bats circled overhead well rabid timber wolves circled the princess dual. “Did you bring the staff twilight!” Luna called to her companion as the wolves moved closer.
“Staff?” Twilight looked worried. How had she gotten herself into this mess. It was just going to be a quite night with luna and now she was wrapped up in an adventure that was unlike anything she had experienced before. “How do I equip my staff again?”
“Press the button next to the start button.” Luna was relaxing on a pillow next to twilight still back in the one Un four room.
“Then you want to scroll down the list and select the staff with the equip button.”
“Like this?” Twilight struggled with the floor controller in front of her. It had two big levers for her hooves and a sheet of extra buttons that seemded to exist to confuse her. She hadn't hit a correct one all night.
“No no. you need to hit the green button to equip staffs. The blue button just equips spells and dragon transformations.” Luna tried her best to instruct twilight in the game, but she was thinking that maybe they should have started her off with something less advanced.
“Ok I have the staff on, but I’m wearing it as a horn.” Twilight peered at the screen as her avatar was pounced on by digital timber wolves. “OH my.” Twilight gasped at the pixelated violence in front of her. “I can’t believe spike wanted one of these games for his birthday. It’s much too violent for him.
Luna chuckled at the comment. She never intended to ruin the dragon’s birthday, but it seemed that was exactly what she ended up doing. “How is spike doing? I does he mind being left alone all night?”
“He keeps insisting he doesn't.” Twilight was still insistent on playing the game she had no idea how to play. In her mind, if she could just study it enough then she would find a way to win it. Too bad the game wasn’t about getting stuck in rocks. She was good at that part. “I think he will be fine. I left him with a lot of chores to do.”
