A dark time approaches

"Pinkie?  What on earth are you doing here?  How did you even get in?  The doors were all locked, I made sure of that!  Did I forget to nail one of the windows shut?  I-"

"Spike, I broke down the door."

This statement appeared to anger the purple and green dragon standing defensively in Pinkie's way.

"Pinkie, that shouldn't have been possible.  I nailed it in and double locked it!"

In reply to this, Pinkie only sighed and glared at him, her curly pink hair bouncing slightly as she shook her head.

"Spike, I really need to see Twilight… Equestria needs her!  We're falling apart, and Luna is a great princess, but we can't live like this much longer!  In desperate isolation, waiting, just waiting, for some pony to throw us back into the game! Nopony smiles anymore Spike, and aside from that, no one has enough good supplies to last them much longer!  The venders are out of business, and-"

Spike sighed quietly and put a single claw tip to Pinkie's muzzle.

"I'd let you in Pinkie, believe me, I would, but strict orders from Twilight." The dragon said, lowering his head dismissively. Pinkie's only response to this was a delighted giggle, and a hoof placed on Spike's shoulder.

"You should know by now that I've come this far, and I'm not going back."  And with that statement, she was past the dragon, her hooves only lightly touching the smooth and crystallized floor.
