Load Full StoryNext ChapterAlready weeks into her Princess status, Twilight is stressed out from all the paperwork she has to fill out writing her signature on every piece of paper that comes to her. She had bags under her eyes from not sleeping and just plain tired of the paperwork, yes she herself did large amounts of work but they where what she wanted to do not what others wanted of her. Common sense heeds her to skims through the papers not wanting to accidently sign off on a ridiculous law or some crazy shipment, of course skimming them would waste more time but she had to make certain. Twilight was just getting though another batch of paperwork when out of the blue a slender pony with a fuzzy beard and a grey mail uniform came though the door carrying with him two large piles of menacing paper.,
"Hello princess, I just here to drop off these piles of paperwork that all have your name on them. Colt, oh, colt never have I seen so much paperwork needing to be filled out", said the stallion who noticed the princess being some what stress out and from what he said she wasn't happy. "Anyhoo I'll be on my way princess. Bye" the stallion was already out the door much to Twilights surprise on his speed. Twilights sighed she knew being a princess would come with many new responsibilities but she never knew that signing and reading a bunch of papers would so stressful. She levitated the pile up to her desk and continued on with her signing.
Unknown to her she was being watched by her faithful number one assistant Spike who from afar was simply reading one of his comic books, he hasn't seen Twilight this stressed out since that whole future Twilight thing in which she thought a disaster was going to happen on Tuesday and thats just one example. He also has not seen her go to bed in the last couple of days she must be doing all nighters. "How much paperwork has she gotten and when will it end, she's the princess of Friendship not the princess of everyponies troubles...that aren't friendship related", Spike thought to himself. "There must be something that I her number-one assistant can do for her...Maybe we can split the work...but I don't know Twilight's signature...maybe I can give her a message, a nice back rub might relive the stress after all it works on Rarity. I am such a good assistant" A sly grin plastered on his face. He sat up from the crystal floor and put his comic away before he strode to Twilight but with all the paperwork on her desk Twilight could not see the scales on spikes head. Spike waited a few minutes for Twilight to notice he was there. Twilight was half way through this batch of paper when she finally saw spike though only his head sense the paperwork cover the rest of him. Startled at first to see Spike there she quickly smile at him. "Oh, hey spike finished reading your comic", again Twilight focused on her paperwork signing and then putting it way in a neat pie before she grabbed another sheet, skimmed it, and hen signing it before doing the cycle again.
"Umm, no but I see how stressed you are so as your number one assistant I wanted to alleviate you from your stress with a nice massage", Spike said lifting both his hands up wiggling his claws making Twilight stop what she was doing and smile at him once again surprised at his proposal.
"That's very sweet of you Spike but I need to get this work done somepony has to do this because noponyelse will, one of the many responsibilities a princess has" Twilights pointed to her crown and she spread her wings. "Thanks for wanting to help out spike but I'm fine no need to worry, go back and finish your comic I don't want to keep you from finishing it", Twilight said with a shy smile.
"I don't know Twilight you seem very stressed and you haven't slept in days", Spike implored Twilight to accept his massage to which Twilight sighed and spoke again.
"Really spike, I'm okay, I'm not stressed just tired from this paperwork", Twilight was just about to get back to hers signing but notice that spike was still standing there looking unconvinced at Twilight.
"No, Twilight you are stressed out and you need a break from all this princess work", Spike pushed forward knowing full well that Twilight needed a break.
"SPIKE! I'm serious I don't feel stressed, I don't need a break, and I most certainly do not need a message!" Twilight yelled she wasn't stressed out obviously but Twilight realized that she had yelled louder then she had thought and that she had slammed both her hooves on the desk causing her papers to shake. She signed and went back to work.
Spike caught off guard by Twilights sudden outburst but he quickly knew it was only from her stress so he left the library and the castle. Standing outside the castle he had a clear view of Ponyville and he came up with an idea. Twilights stress is needing more then a simple massage she needs something that will make her feel relaxed. he headed out to Ponyville which was a bit farther then usual but maybe something or somepony could help.
Spike contemplated for a while walking through the dirt paths of Ponyville waving at anypony who called out his name. Who could help me relieve Twilight of her stress. He came to a bench and sat down tapping is pointing claw on his cheek thinking who could help. He thought of Zecora but then she remembered that she went out to a herb convention or something like that and he didn't know how long she will be gone for. He ponder on who could help him, he thought of the spa but Twilight would not just willingly go to the spa. Spike needed something that could be at the castle. He thought that the gang could help then decided against it. Applejack was much too busy with the applebuck season coming, Rarity was busy making a very rare and unique fashion for this new singer named Lady NaNa, Rainbow dash was not an option, and neither was Pinkie. "So who can help me, help Twilight with her stress..." His answer would come to him eventually and by eventually we mean now as a poster guided by the wind slapped and stuck itself to Spike's face but the suddenness of this situation frightened Spike who did not know what hit him and he began to shriek with panic. "Ahhhhhhhh! Something's got my face, help it could be sucking my blood. Ahhhhhh! I don't want to look like a raisin", Spike ran around in a circle his arms stretched out in front of him, his face covered with the poster showing indentations of his mouth, eyes and nose. Before long he tripped over a pebble and rolled away from the scene he had created leaving a crowd of confused ponies looking as he rolled away like a wheel on a carriage.
He has been rolling for minutes before he finally stopped himself with a tree, his back turned to the tree as a few acorns fell on his head bouncing right off him. "I bet I would see stars when take his thing off", Spike said scrambling to his feet and finally using his arms to take the unknown thing from his face. He lost his bet for he saw birds instead of stars, shaking his head to rid himself of the birds who were actually real birds just messing with him as they flew off. "Very funny", He had a face of annoyance as he looked down on the poster that stuck to him.
Are you feeling stressed out
To much on your plate for you to handle
Not enough babes to keep you company or are you just plainly looking for a way to party
Then look no farther and come on down to Jacuzzi's Hot Tub Emporium
Where you'll find the best Hot Tubs this side of Equestria
The poster had an image of a cartoony Hot Tub with a equally cartonny stallion in it who was surrounded by mares all having a good time in the water of the Hot Tub who was winking at Spike, there was a speech bubble coming from the Tub saying best party ever. Below that there was a small map of Ponyville with a star where the store would be at as well as an address. What caught the eye of Spike was the are you felling stresses out part. Now he may be crazy but a Hot Tub would be awesome not only that but I would also help Twilight. A huge grin stretched across his face. To the Emporium!
