Previous Chapter

Spike looked around... this was definitely the Library, and he was even in his room! Somepony took him here... who?
Spike heard a noise coming from downstairs, he slowly walked down the stairs and looked all around.

"Good morning!"

Spike went into shock, that was Twilight's voice... there was no doubt the he had finally gone insane. It was bound to happen eventually.

"Spike? Come on, it is the real me."

Spike was still standing there, with no signs of stopping.

Twilight trotted over to him and tapped him.

Spike turned around and saw Twilight. She was there, perfectly fine, like nothing ever happened.

Twilight noticed Spike's shock and tried her best to comfort him. When she woke up, she was just as confused, and even more so when she saw Celestia. But she had plenty of time to think about things now. She had came to accept what had happened, and eventually took Spike home and made breakfast.

"Spike, I know what... happened, a few weeks ago, but I really am fine now, this is the real me.... I am fine."

Spike wanted to scream, wanted to cry, but wanted to hope and wanted to fly. Could she really be fine now?

Twilight leaned down to him and grabbed him. She spun him around holding him as close to her as possible. Spike was finally realizing this was real, this was happening.

Eventually, they stopped spinning, and started on breakfast. Twilight had made herself a simple daisy sandwich. She had given Spike a giant green gemstone, which he gobbled up almost instantly. It helped the situation a little bit, seeing as he didn't eat much the past few weeks.

Spike decided to speak up first, eliminating the awkward silence between them.

“So, Twi... what do we do now? You actually managed to come back... should we tell the others? I mean, what would we say?”

It was a good question... you can't just walk up to someone and tell them someone has came back to life and just expect them to believe it on the spot.

“We can't really say anything else, it would take too long to explain it without confusing them even more.”

“So we are just going to walk out there and tell everyone that you rose from the dead?”

“Spike, it's not like I am a zombie, as much as I like brains, I don't like the taste of them.”

“How would you know?”

“I was kidding. I haven't ever devoured any brains.”

“Yeah, I was kidding too... you are definitely the same Twilight. Can't take a joke.”

“This isn't really a time to be joking Spike. What are we going to do about Celestia... I was worried I would have to raise the sun, but it seems like Luna did it, she is probably looking everywhere for Celestia now.”

“What do you mean? When I found you it was already morning.”

“Well Spike, it took me a while to get back home, and you only just now woke up, so, it has been a day. Celestia has been gone for a day.”

Spike was getting worried again, Luna is not going to be happy when she hears the news.

“Well, I don't really feel like lounging around in here any longer, I already finished my gem, have you finished your breakfast?”

“Yeah. But what if somepony spots me walking around before we tell anyone. Or should we let them see me?”

“I think it would be best if you used a cloaking spell, that way we could at least try to explain the situation first, and if they don't believe me, you could walk in.”

“Okay.. I think that's a good strategy. Shall we head off now?”

“Nothing else is keeping us.”

Twilight's horn lit up, only to be interrupted by Spike hugging her.

“Twilight... I just want to say I really did miss you... I am glad you are back.”

“Oh Spike, you don't need to worry now. I will make up the time I lost after this. I Pinkie Promise. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my -ow! I really need to work on that last part.”

Spike quickly pulled Twilight closer and nuzzled her a few times.

Twilight did the same. Then kissed his forehead.

“Come on now.” Twilight finally cast the spell, leaving her invisible.

“Be sure to stay close to me, you might get lost.”

Twilight laughed at how it was Spike talking to her, and not the other way around.

The two finally made there way outside. Ponyville was just as it always had been. Hopefully their friends weren't too far away.
Spike headed off to find Rarity and Pinkie Pie, because they lived closer to them then the others did.

Spike found Pinkie first, but her hair had flattened, so rather, he had found Pinkamena. He told her he had something really important that he needed to show her, and Pinkamena asked the cakes if she could take a quick break, to which the said yes.
Pinkie followed Spike on the way to Rarity's as he explained to her he need to show it to them all.

Just before arriving Pinkie starting talking about how her Pinkie sense was acting up again, saying this was bigger than all of the others combined!

Spike did the same to Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and finally Fluttershy. He brought them all back to the Library.
They all grouped up, eager to see what Spike had to show them.

“So uh, I don't really know how to say this without confusing you, so.... Twilight is... alive.”

All of the ponies, except for Twilight, who was still invisible, and Spike, were looking around, some were nervous, some were confused.

Applejack finally spoke up.

“Look Spike... I know you miss 'er and all, but, you see, we all do, and I know it may be hard for you to accept that she's gone... but she really is...”

Spike knew he couldn't explain it to them, but he tried anyway.

“Applejack... I know what you're saying, but when I found her, that's exactly what I thought... but she really is fine... I know it sounds crazy but I have proof.”

Applejack just looked even more saddened, thinking Spike was too far in denial.

“Fine, where's yer proof?”

“Twilight is in here... I asked her to cast a cloaking spell on herself. Twilight uh, can you take it off now?”

Applejack looked around for a second, for a second, she believed she would see Twilight appear.

“Spike, I know it is gonna be hard to get over bu-”

“I am right here.”

Everypony turned and looked at where Twilight's voice was coming from, right next to Spike, a figure appeared.. Twilight appeared.
For a second the other ponies didn't say a word, or move an inch.

“T-twilight? Is it really you?”

“Yes... but I didn't just come back... you see... somepony gave their life to make me live again.”

A minute of silence passed.

“Who Twi?”

“P-princess... C-Celestia...”

The ponies again were speechless, they were just now realizing the fact the Celestia was gone.

After a while, Fluttershy trotted towards Twilight, and when she finally deemed it safe, grabbed hold of her and started crying. Soon after, the other ponies followed suit.

Spike joined in on the group hug, which lasted a few more minutes, then Twilight decided she would have a personal talk with each of them, to help sort things out.

Twilight decided Fluttershy got the first talk, because she was to first to hug her. She didn't really have anything else she could go on that wouldn't offend anyone.

“So... Twilight. Now that Celestia... is gone.. does that mean you will take her place?”

Twilight had already wondered the same question, and she always had the same answer.

“I don't know.”

“Well... okay.. I have one more question... if that's alright with you that its.”

“Oh it's fine.. go on.”

“Well, Spike hasn't been... very healthy...as in... his... well... his sanity... since you... passed away. And I just wanted to ask if you could... do something for him...”

“Oh... uh... I already Pinkie Promised him I would make it up to him after this.. but thanks from thinking about Spike too.”

“Oh... uh... it's nothing... I'll go get Applejack.”

Soon AJ walked in with her question in mind.

“So uh, Twi... I really don't mean this in any bad way... but... why did Celestia bring you back? I mean, there are lots of other ponies that have passed away too... but... do you know anythin'? But I honestly don't mean to offend you or nothin' I am glad to have you back now.”

Twilight hadn't thought of this question before.

“She obviously had some reason to do it, but I don't know why.”

“Oh well... bye Twi, I'll send Pinkie up.”

A little bit later, Pinkie finally arrived, luckily her mane was crazy again, she was her.. 'normal' self.

“So Pinkie, anything you want to talk about?”

“Well yeah, do you want me to cancel your funeral? I mean, I always make those respectable, no party canons whatsoever. But I could see why you might now want to go.”

“Uh Pinkie, you can cancel it. I don't want to be buried alive.”

“Okie Dokie Loki!”

Pinkie Pie happily bounced over to Rarity, pointing her hoof at the stairs.

The rest of the morning were other questions that weren't really important, but had to be asked anyway. Such as, “You are really fine darling?” or other previously asked questions.

Eventually Twilight asked the others to leave, but only because she just wanted to time to herself... and Spike.

Normally right now, Twilight would just start re-reading some of the many books in the Library, but she wanted to talk to Spike.

Twilight trotted upstairs, Spike already following her, and the two sat on Twilight's bed.

“Spike, I wanted to just lay down for now, but do you think you could accompany me?”

Spike, looking extra excited happily agreed.

“Sure Twilight. So, do you need anything? I mean, it is close to lunchtime, I could make you some early if you want, or maybe a glass of water?”

“No need Spike, I can get those easily myself, I'm fine remember?”

“Yeah, but my offer still stands.”

“Well, alright then, you can make lunch, I suppose it isn't too early.”

Spike had already ran off, starting the usual lunch. But he planned on making it special.

Twilight sighed when she saw Spike had left, it would probably be another five minutes until he came back.

She used those minutes to think of something she could do with Spike, after all, he had spent all of his time trying to help her, and he probably did help keep the body healthy enough for Celestia to use her magic on, without his help Twilight might not have been brought back. Twilight knew she would probably never be able to repay him, but she was willing to try.


Author's Note

If there are any typos or big plot holes, I would appreciate it if anyone pointed them out. You don't have to but I only write these at like 4 AM. So there has to be some mistakes. I don't know why I don't just write at a different time, I just only write after staying up all night, while I am super tired. I don't know why.
