The Spirit of Friendship

   "First, we will go to the library, since it is so late." Twilight said. "I will give you a tour of Ponyville tomorrow." It was past the time that Twilight normally retreated to bed after a hard day of studying and doing things with her friends. Song Whisper seemed to consent, for she nodded her head and partially closed her eyelids. Guessing from her appearance, Song hadn't rested in the car. It was expected, she certainly had a lot to be excited about. She was moving into a new home were everything was unfamiliar and she didn't have any friends yet that could comfort her and help her movie in. Twilight would definitely try and help her make friends in Ponyville.

   Finally, they arrived at their destination. Twilight opened the door and allowed Song to enter first. Song's eyes widened at the sight that she beheld. Twilight followed her gaze. Oops, she realized that she hadn't cleaned up from her last studying escapade. The shelves and floor were a mess! "I'm sorry about the mess," Twilight said, "It isn't normally this messy." Song's eyes shifted slightly, as she only just then noticed the mess of the floor. "It is fine," she answered,"I am used to messes. I'm amazed by how many books you have."

   "You can borrow them whenever you like," Twilight told her, "I am normally the only person to read them."

   "But what if you need them?" Song asked. Twilight wasn't surprised. Since meeting her, the black alicorn had always put Twilight's needs above her own. Her kindness and consideration rivaled that of Fluttershy.

   "I can find other books. You need to find out a lot about Ponyville and Equestria. That is more important than my studying." she said. Song beamed. At first Twilight Sparkle was surprised, but then she remembered that Song may not have been shown friendship before.

   "Let me show you the guest room, where you will sleep." Twilight offered her assistance to Song, who looked like she was starting to doze off in an armchair. Song happily followed her.

   Song Whisper woke up, yawning. Last night, she had been pretty tired. She had exaggerated her fatigue so that she could rest quicker. Once arriving at her room, she had immediately floated of into dreamland. Her bed covers were a light brown with a few light pink roses along the sides. The blanket was of a similar design. The pillow was just one colour, the same shade of pink as the roses. The walls were all painted a light brown, just slightly lighter than the bed. As she looked to see the room's contents, she found that it was almost completely empty except for the bed. There was just no closet, just a small chest of drawers. It was perfect for anypony's small amount of clothes. Song's wardrobe probably would not even fill it up. On one of walls there was a pink clock that read... 8:30! She had slept in!

   Song hurriedly rushed downstairs. She found Twilight calmly making pancakes. Did she remember the tour that she was giving Song Whisper today? Song hoped that she would have enough time to introduce her to all of Twilight's friends.

   "Good morning." Twilight greeted Song, "There is a stack of pancakes over on that counter." Satisfied that Twilight hadn't been upset at her for getting up so late according to her standards, Song served herself happily.

   "When are we going to start the tour?" Song Whisper asked.

   "After breakfast, maybe around 10:00." Twilight answered.

   Afraid that asking for maple syrup or jam may be too much; Twilight did make her pancakes and let her sleep in, Song ate her oat pancakes plain. Soon, Twilight sat down to join her. "I have the tour planned out in my head," Twilight told her, "We will go around town in a loop, stopping at where my friends live." Happy that Twilight had a plan, Song asked if she could get a second serving. Twilight looked surprised as nodded. Song Whisper panicked. Maybe she shouldn't have asked. While serving herself, she said, "Sorry I asked! Did I do something wrong?" Twilight laughed.

   "You don't need to ask to do any everyday tasks," she explained as Song resumed eating, "You are a friend, and I trust that you know what to do."

   Blushing and beaming, Song decided to change the subject. "What did you think of your friends when you first arrived?" she asked. Happily, Twilight launched herself into describing her first experience in Ponyville.

   After they finished eating, Twilight announced that it was time to leave. As Song went out the door Twilight noticed something that seemed off. She was certain that Song's hind legs weren't always a pure white, were they? As she noticed Song Whisper standing outside, she decided to think about it later, right now it was time for Song's tour.
