Twilight Gets Braces

Twilight quickly shut the door behind her. Her friends are on to her, they almost found out. She was lucky enough to get through town without any pony seeing her. Twilight silently walked to her new throne and sat in it, sighing. They almost trapped her, they almost saw her terrible secret. Twilight rubbed her head with her hoof.

"Spike, get in here!," Twilight yelled.

"I'm coming, gosh.," Spike huffed, eating a plate of nachos.

"Spike, this is not the time to be eating nachos! I need to go find a spell that will fix my teeth instead of needing these!," shouted Twilight, showing her new braces.

"Seriously? This is why your screaming? Wow, Twilight, its no big deal.," Spike said in a casual tone, chomping on another nacho.

"No Spike, it is a big deal! My friends might not want to be my friends anymore! They might leave me! I know I should've went to the dentist years ago, but my studies! They were so import-.," Spike put his hand over her mouth to stop her rambling.

"Stop it Twilight, your acting ridiculous! The girls wouldn't leave you for something so silly as some metal in your teeth. You are worrying about something that is barely even noticeable. You should really relax and have some nachos.," Spike said, taking a nacho and holding it up.

"First of all, I can't have nachos because the cheese with get stuck in my braces and second of all, it is a big deal! Lets go Spike, we're going to the sister's castle. Put those nachos down."

"No pony ever listens to the dragon.," Spike mumbled under his breath, putting his nachos in the garbage.

"What just happened?," asked Rainbow Dash as Rarity let go of her tail.

" Ah got know idea why Twilight just ran away from us.," said Applejack, still staring at the path Twilight ran away on.

"Does Twilight...hate us?," Pinkie Pie said, her mane starting to deflate and tears already running down her cheeks.

"No Pinkie, Twilight doesn't hate us, she just had something going on, I doubt she hates any of us.," Rarity said calmly, hugging Pinkie Pie.

"Poor Twilight, I wonder what happened that got her so upset. Maybe we should check with her doctor?," Fluttershy suggested.

"That's a good idea, Fluttershy, lets go see what happened.," Rarity said, already galloping towards the hospital.

Every pony nodded and followed Rarity's lead. They all ran through the hospital doors, hoping Twilight was okay.

"Come on, hurry up.," Twilight said with an annoyed voice. Spike was behind her and she wanted to get that spell quickly. She was going to look in the castle for a spell that fixes her teeth, well she was hoping for there to be a spell.

"You know Twilight, if they had a spell to fix your teeth, you wouldn't even have these braces.," Spike pointed out, running to Twilight's side.

Twilight stopped to think about it. Was there even a spell that could help her? Was Spike right? Was there really no spell and her friends wouldn't even care? No, there had to be a way to fix her teeth and her friends would care!

"Lets go Spike, there must be a spell!," Twilight insisted.

Twilight and Spike finally made it to the abandoned castle and entered it's ruins. Twilight immediately started searching through the books on their shelves. She kept looking, hoping to find the book she really wanted to exist. She looked for hours while Spike just watched her move around the rooms. The more time that passed, the more she knew Spike was right. She wouldn't stop though, she kept telling herself there was a way she could fix her problem. It was then reality finally caught up with her. She so badly wanted it all to not be true, just for there to be a way to help herself, but she gave up. She finally broke down crying on the dusty floor she stood on.

"My friends don't want some pony who would embarrass them, they want some pony who doesn't look stupid. Ponyville doesn't want some weird looking princess to lead them. Maybe I do care how I look and I know I look bad. Who wants some pony who looks like me? I'm just some ugly embarrassment.," said Twilight, her voice cracking.

"Twilight, what I think you should do is go to them and see for yourself. I don't think you look bad or weird. You have to stop doing this to yourself. Ponies shouldn't care how you look, they should like you for who you are, then they wouldn't be true friends.," Spike said in a hushed voice while he hugged Twilight.

"Spike?,"Twilight asked, wiping her eyes.

"Yes?," answered Spike, looking at Twilight.

"I love you.," she said, hugging him back.

"Me too.,"Spike said. The words she spoke caught him by surprise, but Twilight was like a mother to him, this made him happy.

"Well Twilight, you should go to them. I bet they won't even care, you must have them worried.," Spike whispered, letting go of Twilight.

Twilight got up and began to leave before saying;

"Thanks Spike, I really needed that."

"Your welcome."

Then Twilight flew up and went over the Everfree Forest and began looking for her best friends.

"Nurse Redheart, we need your assistance!," called Pinkie Pie as she ran to the front desk.

"Yes, may I help you?" asked Nurse Redheart, giving a kind smile.

"Yes, we do need your help. May I ask you about Twilight? What did they do to her while she was here?," asked Rarity.

"Oh, you mean Miss Sparkle? Why yes, her records here show she got her tooth fixed and had braces put in.," Nurse Redheart said kindly.

"Oh, thank you darling, we will all be on our way."

"Okay? Is that all you needed to know?.," questioned Nurse Redheart.

"Why yes it is. Lets go girls.," Rarity said, already heading out the door.

"Um....thank you.," Fluttershy whispered before following her friends.

* * * * * * * *

"I can not believe this! That can not be it! There has to be more than just that!," Rarity shouted, a pout forming on her face.

"I didn't know she had to get braces! I should make her a braces party along with your party Rarity, but we can't do that until we find her...," Pinkie Pie trailed off, her eyes focusing on the ground.

"Ah think ah knew she had to get herself some braces, ah noticed how crooked her teeth looked when ah found out about her broken tooth.," Applejack admitted.

Every pony turned to her, but then looked back to the ground in defeat. All they really cared about was their friend and where she was.

"Girls! Over here!," Twilight flapped in front of the five ponies.

They all looked up and saw her, a smile on her face as she walked up to them.

"Twilight!," they all shouted, jumping on Twilight and hugging her.

"Oh Twilight, where were you? We all missed you so much!," Pinkie cried.

"Yeah, you egghead, where were you? Why did you run from us?," Rainbow Dash asked.

"Oh Twilight, you had us all so worried!," Fluttershy said.

"I didn't want you to leave me, I thought you would be embarrassed of me and break our friendship. So I went with Spike to the sisters castle to find a spell to fix my teeth, but hes made me realize you girls wouldn't leave me over something so silly.," Twilight finished, giving a sorry look and hugging back.

"Twi, Spike was right, we would never leave you over something as tiny as this. You mean more to us than some silly ole braces.," Applejack said, grinning.

"Yes, Twilight, you are so much more. It doesn't matter how you look. That"s a lot coming from me. Oh, and I think you look fantastic!," Rarity added. Every pony laughed.

" They look nice.," Fluttershy commented.

"Come on girls, lets go have that party!," Screamed Pinkie Pie.

Every pony walked side by side, enjoying each others company. Spike watched from the side,smiling as they disappeared from sight.
