To Truly Win A War

After shaking Spike's claw, Guardian took a moment to survey his surroundings, noticing that there were books everywhere. Never having a hobby before, he began to wonder if he would take an interest into them.

Twilight, noticing Guardian was distracted, rushed Spike into the kitchen, Spike, slightly annoyed asked, "What is it, Twilight?"

Twilight began to hyperventilate, "Spike, what do I do? If anypony sees this thing, they'll panic!"

"Relax, Twilight." Spike reminded. "We don't want that day you were tardy to repeat itself, now do we?"

"Spike!" Twilight yelled at the dragon.

Spike chuckled, "I'm kidding, Twi, I've got this all under control."

Spike begins to walk out of the kitchen and stands at the entrance of it, "Guardian, you're staying with us tonight!"

Guardian turns his head and gives the dragon an empty stare.

Twilight pulls Spike back into the kitchen, "Spike! Why would you say that? I can't sleep with some...CREATURE in our house!"

Spike gives Twilight a warm smile and says, "Twilight, he was sent by the Princess for a reason..."

Twilight tries to complain more, but gives up, "Yeah, I guess you have a point Spike. But why did the Princess send him?"

Spike shrugs and walks out of the kitchen, alongside Twilight. Guardian, sensing their arrival, lifts his gaze from the floor to the lavender mare and the dragon. "Guardian, you are free to stay here for the night. Tomorrow I'll think of a way to tell the girls." Said Twilight.

Guardian didn't know who she was referring to, but nodded anyway. As Guardian stood up, he used his powers to speak, "Which room am I staying in?"

Twilight replied, "You can sleep on that couch if you want to."

Guardian walked towards it and laid down on it. He almost instantly fell asleep, where hellish nightmares began to haunt him...
