Meeting: Part One

Three days later...

"Okay, Spike. Ready?" asked Twilight.

"As I'll ever be." he grumbled.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" she asked, the heat evident in her tone.

"Ready!" he replied hastily.

"Good." she said, anger temporarily quelled.

"Okay, tent?"

"Check."

"Water?"

"Check."

"Magic and anomaly detector?"

"Check."

"Battery crystals?"

"Check."

"Hard-hats?"

"Check."

"Food?"

"Check."

"Good job, Spike. Do you have the carriage ready?"

"I don't know. I can't understand it."

“Come on, Spike! It isn't rocket science, it's just quantum physics!"

"Uh... How is that any different?"

"... Just get it ready. I'll go get the girls."

"*sigh* Only for you, Twi. Only for you." he said, trudging up the stairs to get the required ingredients.
