Cider Dreams "2"

Slip was flying through the sky above Ponyville, she felt as light as feather just drifting on wind. She flew through the clouds felling the droplets of water wash over her wings leavening a nice tingling fell. She passed over the dusty old library at the centre of town, she was surprised however to see that it was in full working order. She glided down and landed with a soft thud which sent a wave of mixed feelings through her mind.

The door to the old Library was thrown open, Slip jumped back. A small purple Dragon with green spikes walked out of the Library shouting to somebody that Slip could not see. "Twilight why are you babysitting aren't you supposed to be practising some spell?" the Dragon called out as he made his to the trash can. Slip was absolutely stunned at the fact that a dragon was living in town and nopony seemed to mind.

A voice called out from the bowls of the Library "Oh Spike the reason I am babysitting is because I owed his mother a favour, don't you remember the one who helped as clean up after the Summer Sun Celebration". So the young Dragon's name was Spike.

Walking back to the Library door, Spike shouted back "So rather then owing her a favour by cleaning up her house we are looking after her kid".

Slip was intrigued and started walking towards the door when Spike suddenly turned and stared strait at her. Slip froze, Spike's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates "Oh umm... Miss Seacond how much did you hear?". This time Slip was surprised that the dragon seemed to know her name.

"How do you know who I am?" she asked in a defensive tone. Spike had an expression on his face that might have been confusion.

"What are you talking about Miss Second? As if I could forget who you are" he said giving of a laugh before quickly returning to his scared demeanour "So how much did you hear?". Slip decided to believe this was just a dream and that's how the Dragon knew who she is.

"I heard most of it..." she was saying before Spike interupted her "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to offended you".

"What are you talking about?" Slip asked confused.

Spike decided to skate over this topic and instead turned back to the library and said "Well I guess we should go inside right?". Slip just nodded in agreement and followed Spike into the Libary.

Slip entered the doorway and was immediately hit with a bright light. She staggered back, her eyes where watering and all she could make out was a small dark shadow. Slip opened her mouth to call out to the figure, but her laughs refused to work. She gasped for air and instead was drowned in the light. It flooded her cheast, a black curtain began to fall over her eyes as she slipped into unconsciousness.
