"Why yes Rarity, it is a chocolate covered mansion." Said the little charming dragon with the fabulous well fashioned Rarity.
*ZAP*
A loud noise echos throughout the estate as the mansion starts to fall apart.
"Oh Spike! The Mansion! Our beautiful delicious mansion is crumbling!" The beautiful mare shrieked as she lays back on her conveniently placed fainting couch.
"I-I'll fix it Rarity!" The nimble dragon yells out, hurling himself towards the crumbling mansion as he licks the sides with his wet dragon tongue. "It's still good! It's still good!"
*ZAP*
Another booming echo resonates as the mansion starts to collapse on him.

"AH!" Spike yells out in a cold sweat, standing up right in his tiny bed with the covers across the floor.

"Just....a dream?" He murmurs to himself and sighs falling backwards onto his comfortable mattress. He wipes the sweat off his forehead while looking at the window outside. Just another sunny day in ponyville as the birds are singing to the beat of a new day. He gets up to stretch and walk to the side of Twilight's bed.

"Morning Twilight!" the ecstatic assistance says with enthusiasm. He peeks over and notices Twilight wasn't in bed! She even fixed the sheets before she left the room. Curious about the situation and if she made breakfast for him, he scurries over on downstairs to greet her on a new morning. While walking down the stairs he hears a familiar noise he swears he heard somewhere before.

*ZAP*

Spikes scales stand on end as he barely remembers the dream he JUST had, but remembers the noise all too well. "T-Twilight?" He softly walks on each step trying to reach her study on the first floor and sees the purple lavender levitating the new book she found and quickly writing down notes next to her.

"Yes.......yes this is a most certainly funny book...." She says to herself as she giggles about the results. Clueless, Spike reaches the last step as he starts to notice something off about the floor. Instead of the recognizable hard wood of the floor, now it feels like a trampoline or a bouncy house. He loses his balance and falls on the soft squishy surface. "WOAH!" He yells out, alerting Twilight. She turns to face Spike and helping him up.

"Spike? What are you doing up so late? It's way past your bedtime you know...." Twilight concerned for Spike.

"Late?" Spike says. "Twilight it's morning, have you been doing..." He gets cut off mid sentence as he tries to keep his balance on the soft floor, pointing downward with a confused look. "THIS!?"

Twilight giggles "Oh my...have I been doing this all night?" She quickly levitates all her notes she has been jotting down, enough notes to make a whole other new book for her collection on the recent findings of the spell book and it's possibilities. Spike stares at the impossibility of what she managed to do in one night with his jaw opened. He stares at the other objects next to her notes. Everything looks smooth and shiny as they reflect off the sun shining down on them through the window.

"Uh, Twilight? Just what exactly did the spells do?" He asks.

"That's a very good question Spike! Allow me to demonstrate!" She starts to levitate an apple towards spike. "Here! Try this shiny red apple!" Twilight says handing him a peculiar shiny red apple. He doesn't notice at first but as soon as he grabs it with his claw he notices the apple is more squishy than usual. He tries to take a bite out of the apple but as soon as his pointy teeth sinks in a loud popping noise echos throughout the room.

"BLEH, Twilight what the heck! That tasted like rubber!" Trying to wipe his tongue of the disgusting taste while picking up the pieces of the exploded apple. Twilight just stands in place giggling.

"Well maybe it would be funnier tricking other ponies than baby dragons with super sharp teeth." As she gently pats Spike.

"So, what just happened? You made me pop a small balloon?" Holding the remains in his claw as Twilight swayed her head.

"No silly, that really was an apple! The spell made it turn into a super soft and squishy poppable apple!" The lavender pony starts giggling at the hilarity of it all while explaining.

Spike gave a stern look towards her. "You mean rubber?"

"Well to be more precise the book specifically states these are latex spells, natural rubber from actual plants and trees...." The smart unicorn pony starts to give off a lecture to Spike about natural rubber and it's uses around Equestria. He starts to zone out, unable to stand still on the squishy floor he just sits down and tries his best to pay attention.

15 MINUTES EARLIER

"Oooh oooh oooh! They're almost ready! They're almost ready!" Pinkie Pie sings as the cupcakes are being tipped off with frosting by Mrs.Cake at sugar cube corner.

"It's the least we can do for Twilight and her little dragon friend for helping our favorite helper around the shop Pinkie!" Mrs.Cake quickly closing off the box of a dozen cupcakes with a thank you note to Twilight and Spike.

"I know right!" Pinkie screams outloud. "I can handle one or maybe to Pinkie's, but there was just TOO MANY OF ME!" She remembers the event with the mirror pool and the little accident Ponyville suffered from her careless mistakes in summoning too many versions of herself. "I'm really happy to have made these for Twilight, shes a good friend ya know?" Pinkie facing Mrs.Cake with a smile.

"Oh deary, I am sure she is" As Mrs.Cake places the box carefully on Pinkie's back. "Now run along before these babies get too cold!"

"Yes Ma'am!" Pinkie gives off a salute before leaving the bakery and trots over to Twilight's house.

20 MINUTES LATER

"Twilight you're lecturing again!" Spike yelled out-loud, having enough of the smarty pony's lesson on latex and rubber. Twilight comes back to her senses and finishes off quickly.

"In conclusion I have found out the varied uses of this method of transforming one object into another has many multiple uses of daily life around ponyville and can benefit pony kind to make life easier." A little squee can be heard as she finishes with a smile. A bit of skepticism arose within Spike. "I dunno Twilight, how does making the floor squishy or turning an apple into rubber benefit ponies?" Spike says standing up, wobbling about.

"Oh Spike, I don't intend on leaving it like this." Twilight's horn flares up, zapping each of the rubbery items on the desk, returning them to their normal sturdy forms. She lastly zaps the floor with rubber removal spell as it shifts and squeaks back to its normal wooden floor. "There see! Back to normal, no need to worry about anything Spike." She trots over to her number one assistance and hugs him. Spike feeling a bit left out with discovering the spell starts to wonder if he can see the spell in action.

"Um, Twilight? Do you mind if you cast the spell one more time? I just wanna know what it looks like is all..." Spike digs his foot into the ground being left out on the fun and exciting new spell.

Twilight giggles and hugs Spike. "Of course, just make sure it's an object. I wouldn't want to think what would happen if a living pony or dragon was turned into latex." The sudden realization that something could go wrong sinks in with Spike but Twilight reassures that she has the spell practiced and handled if something went wrong. Spike takes that as an OK and walks over to the kitchen to grab an orange from a fruit bowl and walks back to Twilight.

"How about turning this orange into a rubbery orange?" Spike says placing the spherical orange on the table. A slight nod from Twilight gives him the sign to stand back as Twilight beings to work her magic. She feels confident enough to not use the book as a reference as she recites the spell by heart. Her lavender horn starts to give off a warm glow as she charges up the beam. Haven't slept a wink in more than 24 hours her eyes start to get blurry as she tires to focuses them on the orange.

*DING DONG*

Twilight's heart skips a bit from the doorbell ringing and fires the spell missing the orange completely as it ventures into the kitchen. The beam starts to reflect off smooth shiny surfaces pinging and banging across every which way. Twilight quickly grabs spike and they both duck underneath the table hoping to not get struck. What lasted for a mere 10 seconds was an eternity for both of them as the spell quickly exits the house via an open window, reflecting off a certain mail-mares mail cap aimed directly at Pinkie Pie waiting outside the front door.

*ZAP*

"YEE-OUCH!" The party pony yelled outside. "Dumb bees! These cupcakes aren't for you!" She keeps on yelling and flailing her arms to shoo the honey bees away from the box. Twilight and Spike both rushed to the front door as Pinkie keeps on ringing the bell again....and again, once more even though the door was open. Pinkie finally notices them in the door way.

"MORNING TWILIGHT!" She says as while trotting inside and gives Twilight a big hug. A couple of bees were heading inside as well but Pinkie slams the door shut before they came any closer. "PHEW, those are some suborn bees, I think one of em stung my BEE-hind!"

*BU- DUM-PSH*
An awkward noise came out of nowhere as Twilight and Spike looked at each other in confusion.

"Well don't laugh all at once guys..." Pinkie said giving off a happy smile. Twilight couldn't help but laugh at the silly pony as she giggles.

"What brings you over to the Library Pinkie Pie? Need another cook book?" Twilight said resting a bit on the floor.

"Aw nah, nothing like that today Twilight. I brought yummy treats for you and Spike! A little thank you gift for helping me with me....*ahem* Pinkie problem a couple of weeks ago." Pinkie said, laying the cupcakes on the table nearby. "Mrs.Cake told me strictly to not eat one cup! Or one cake! These are all yours Twilight!" She stood up proudly as if she was awarding Twilight a medal of honor. Twilight looks on rubbing her eyes, trying to stay awake during Pinkies thank you gift presentation as he vision gets blurry.

"Heh, thank you so much Pinkie. Spike....*yawn*..... and I really appreciate it." The lavender pony softly dozes off in between sentences, resting while she had a guest over. Pinkie takes notice and nudges off to Spike.

"What's wrong with her?" Pinkie asked in a silent tone.

"Aw she just stayed up all night working on a neat spell, she should really get some rest Pinkie." Spike slowly nudges Twilight's shoulder and to not startle her. Twilight wakes up from the short rest.

"What is it Spike?" Twilight spoke, her eyes trying to adjust on her number one assistant.

"I think you should get some sleep Twilight. You've been at it this whole night. Please get some rest. Please?" Spike said, concerned with the Twilight's health. She softly nods and stands up right. Spike holding on to Twilight's hoof assists her in getting upstairs and tucking her into bed.

"But Spike, what about the....*yawn*.....spell....." Twilight murmurs as she falls asleep quickly now in her comfy bed.

"Don't worry about it Twi, you can show me another time ok?" He gently pats the ponys head as Twilight is already fast asleep. He gently closes the bedroom door and meets up with Pinkie Pie on the first floor.

"Awww, I was hoping we could hang out today!" Pinkie said plopping her rump on the floor a bit saddened she wouldn't be able to see Twilight enjoy her cupcakes.

"Well uh, I'm free Pinkie!" Spike says walking up to the depressed pony. As he does he hears his tummy rumbling from not eating breakfast yet. He hold his stomach, slightly embarrassed by the loud noise he gives off. Pinkie's ears perk up as she hears the troubled cries of an empty stomach.

"Ya hungry Spike? I can whip you up something delicious back at Sugar Cube Corner!" Pinkie said bouncing up and down rapidly on the floor. Her eyes flare up as she sees an opportunity for a super fun hang out time with her super friend Spike the Dragon!

"Uh sure Pinkie!" The dragons voice escalated to the same level as Pinkies enthusiasm, taking up her offer to cook him some free food. "Just let me tell Twilight really qu-" He gets cut off as Pinkie flips Spike over her head and onto her back.

"Let Twilight sleep silly, you're with auntie Pinkie Pie now. You have nothing to worry about." She says while patting Spikes head. She trots over to the door. Concerned about his friend, Spike halts Pinkie Pie.

"What about your bee sting Pinkie? Shouldn't you head on over to the hospital to get that checked out?" Spike said. Pinkie does a little twirl in place wondering where that stinging sensation went. She looked all over her body but couldn't see a single sting. She brings her pink hoof to her flank and gives it a rub.

"I was sure those meanie bees stung me right here...." Pinkie said as she strokes her flank and pushes her hoof against it to make sure it didn't hurt. After the inspection she gives off a shrug to Spike as they both exit the Library and softly closes the door. Trotting over to Sugar Cube Corner she happily hums a happy tune in her head. "So what kinda fun stuff were you guys up to?" Pinkie asked.

Spike eyes lit up as he was just as eager to tell Pinkie Pie what new spells Twilight was up to. "Twilight found this really old dusty book behind my comic book shelf and it had a couple of new magic spells in em!" The little dragon couldn't contain his excitement. "You should have seen it first hoof pinkie! The floor was like a bouncy house and Twilight tricked me into popping an apple!" Pinkie Pie giggles at the joke Spike was trying to tell.

"Bouncy house? Twilight pranking? That doesn't sound like her at all Spike." Pinkie said as she giggles some more at the absurdity. "Besides Spike I was there! The floor wasn't bouncy at all! I tried. Trust me." She said in the most confident voice Spike ever heard of Pinkie Pie. Spike starts to bap his feet onto Pinkie's haunches.

"But it's true Pinkie! She found the spell book and I fell asleep after my shower! When I woke up she was turning things into rubber! I couldn't stand up straight on the floor!" He exasperates his last breath trying to explain the odd morning to Pinkie Pie, slumping all over her back resting his tiny body. Pinkie Pie merely looks behind and pats his head, still trotting over to Sugar Cube Corner.

"You must be hungrier than I thought Spike, ya start hallucinating about bouncy floors and fruit that pop when you try to eat them!" She gives off a couple of snorts and laughs while teasing Spike.

"Ughhhhhhh!" Spike moans outloud; giving up on trying to convince the pink party pony on what happened that morning.
*grumble grumble*
"I should have eaten a cupcake before we left, are we close to Sugarcube Corner yet?" Spike asks desperately while holding his dragon tummy.

"Don't be silly Spike! Those are cupcakes for dessert! What you need is a healthy delicious breakfast cupcake! I'll whip you one up in no time!" Pinkie yells out excitedly.

As Pinkie Pie trots over to Sugarcube Corner her tail starts to puff out slightly, crinkling and squeaking about as a shiny coating starts to envelope her tail. The hairs of her tail flatten against the surface, turning her once furry tail into a poofy squeaky soft tail. Neither pony nor dragon takes notice while Pinkie Pie giggles her way to the sweet shop.
