It was a nice summer afternoon in Ponyville. Patches of fluffy, white clouds could be seen floating in the clear blue sky, as birds soared past them chirping in their melodious tunes. Pegassi, earth ponies and unicorns, could be seen all round Ponyville helping each other or doing their various duties. Fillies could be seen jumping around the playground during recess, while Mrs. Cheerlie kept a keen eye on them. At the center of Ponyville stood a tall, majestic, purple, crystal tree which was the castle of Princess Twilight.
Princess Twilight was busy reading an old book that had several articles about the tree of harmony, but she couldn't concentrate well enough due to one thing. Spikes snoring.
"Zzzz!" Spike snored loudly in his toasty bed.
Twilight shut her ears as she grind her teeth, trying to prevent the annoying sound. Her temper grew higher and higher as the snoring never seemed to come to an end. After five more minutes of torture, she finally reached her limit.
"AHH!" she shouted, "I can't handle this!"
Twilight stormed up the stairs to Spike's room. With a hefty kick, Spike's bedroom door swayed open. Even though the kick was loud, Spike was still asleep as he flipped around under his blanket. Twilight hastily pulled his warm blanket away from him. The sudden loss of warmth made Spike wake up with his mind totally distorted.
"Wha?" he said as he looked around, his vision quite blurry.
"Do you have any idea, how....annoying your snoring is?!" Twilight yelled.
"Huh?" Spike asked as he saw a hazy purple image in front of him.
"Don't play games with me!"
Spike rubbed his eyes as his mind came to. He opened his eyes once again as he came face to face with a furious Twilight Sparkle.
"Oh, It's you Twilight. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Spike said with a sly smirk.
"I'm not in the mood for jokes Spike! Do you have any idea how loud you snore?!" she said she placed her arms around her waist.
Spike gave her a stern look as he said, "Oh, I have loud snoring? Well I am 'sooooooo sorry' for that since someone wanted to stay up all night practicing spells!"
"At least it was for a good cause!" she said to her defense.
"Yeah right." Spike said a he rolled his eyes,crossing his arms and legs, "So what are the spells for? Huh?.... or for who if I may say."
Twilight was trapped, she had spent the whole night practicing different types of spells all in the name of impressing Flash Sentry, her dying crush. If she wanted to get out of that situation, she had to come up with something...... and fast.
"Umm.... they were spells Princess Celestia told me to work on. Heh..." Twilight responded as she let out a barely recognizable smile as a trickle of sweat could be seen running down her head, down to her left cheek.
Spike raised his left eyebrow knowing she was hiding something as he said, "Well, I don't recall barfing up a letter from Princess Celestia recently about some 'spells' for you to work on... The last letter I got was Princess Cadence requiring your assistance to help her with some issues as well as some ceremony they were going to have. And that was last week.... isn't that right?"
Twilight's cover was blown and she had to come up with another lie or plan ASAP!
"Uhh.. clean up your room!" she said hastily before dashing off and shutting his door.
"Heh." Spike said, "I thought so."
Spike got off his bed that was a rumpled up mess, as he stretched his arms above his head. He approached to his dark, purple curtains as he drew them to welcome the bright sun-rays into his room. He looked around his room which was a complete disaster! Leave alone mess.
"My room really is a mess...... maybe Twilight was right about that one." he said as he began to clean up his room.
Meanwhile down stairs, Twilight was busy pacing left and right talking to herself.
"I hope Spike doesn't know what the spells were for....... Gasp.. what if he knows! He might tell Flash about it. It will ruin my plans! No no no.... your thinking to much Twilight. You just need to calm down and see how things go." she said as she paced around, pausing in her tracks occasionally.
Her little conversation with herself was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Coming!" Twilight said as she head for the front purple castle door.
On opening, her eyes gleamed with joy as her 5 best friends Rarity, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
"Well good afternoon darling." Rarity said with a humble smile.
Spike, through some way, managed to hear Rarity's soothing voice.
"Shit! Rarity is here." Spike said as her sped up his cleaning and by the time he was done, he rushed into his shower.
"Oh hey Girls, what are all of you doing here?" Twilight asked.
"Well I kinda got bored and I was like. GASP! We should totally do something together! So I came to everyone who had and idea of what we can do but I we couldn't think of anything. So we thought you might have an idea." Pinkie said, bouncing happily.
"Wow. Geez girls... this is soo sudden.... but I'm sure we can think of something. Wanna come in?" Twilight said as she moved back opening the door more.
"Sure." Rarity said.
After about 10 minutes, Spike came down the stairs.
"Oh hello Spike." Rarity said as she looked straight into Spike's eyes, giving a very unique smile.
"H..Hi.... R..Rarity." Spike said as his purple cheeks turned bright red.
A few seconds after their eyes met, Spike's belly started aching like hell. "Gaah!... Twilight... a message is coming." He said
Twilight looked back at him as her horn began to glow, ready to grab the letter.
Spike belched a huge green flame that turned into a letter with the royal red ribbon and a gold seal. Twilight grabbed the letter as Spikes belly got better.
"I hate it when that happens." Spike said.
"Oh grow up Spike." Twilight said as she opened the letter. "Oh, It's a message from Princess Celestia."
The message read that Princess Twilight and her friends, including Spike, had to come to Canterlot to welcome the Pharaoh and queen of Pogypy the following day.
"Oh my goodness, I have to be my best during that day." Twilight said, "Umm... we will meet at the Train in an hour... ok girls?"
"You bet." Rainbow Dash said as she dashed off into the clouds. The rest got out as they head for their respective houses.
"Spike, would you mind helping me pack?" Rarity
"Umm... yeah..." Spike said blushing as he followed Rarity.
