Platen

I wiped the crumbs from the corners of my mouth and smiled, I don’t recall ever having a cupcake that amazing. Pinkie Pie bounced over towards my table,

“Wowie Zowie! You ate that lickety split! Want another? I have a whole new batch!”

She pulled a whole tray of cupcakes out from behind her back, I had no clue as to how she hid them like that but I just giggled it off.

“No thank you Pinkie, I gotta get going. Those books aren’t gonna organize themselves.”

Yeah I said it, books. I’m not much of a book guy myself but Twilight needed someone to organize them while she was away at one of her important princessy meeting things. It wasn’t much of my business, so I didn’t ask. I grabbed the spare key she kept under the mat, not a place I would’ve put it, but it ain’t my house. I twisted the keys and pushed the door with my hoof. The place was spotless, and every book seemed to be in place, so I just wandered a bit to seem like I was doing something. I was wondering why Twilight asked me here in the first place.

A few hours went by and the front door creaked open, along with the sound of Spike complaining.

“Do I really have to Twilight?”

He said with a whinny tone.

“Yes, and you don’t get dessert until you do.”

Twilight replied. Spike sighed and went up the stairs. I peered over to Twilight and gave her a questioned look.

‘Don’t mind him, he’s just upset because we didn’t stop at Donut Joe’s on the way home.”

Twilight said as she approached me. She scanned the room and her bookshelves in particular.

‘Well it looks nice in here.”

She said with a smile. I just smiled, knowing I had done absolutely nothing. She looked back at me.

“Too bad you didn’t really do anything. Nothing needed to be done actually.”

I looked at her with an even more questioned look.

“Umm, then why did you ask me to organize them while you were away?”

She sat in front of me and looked into my eyes.

“Because I need to tell you that you need to wake up.”

Twilight said. I just looked at her confused.

“What do you mean?”

I said, thinking she was playing a joke on me.

“Platen, you need to wake up.”

My vision started to get hazy, I looked down at my hooves as the slowly particalized into the air. I looked back up at Twilight in fear of what was happening, but she was completely gone. All that remained, was darkness.
