Book 3: Dimensional Fragments

“Princess Twilight…”

Twilight groaned but didn’t motion to get up. But she can still hear Golden’s voice echo in her mind.

“Princess Twilight, it’s about Spike.” Piercing spoke next.

That’s when she sprung out of bed fully alert. “What, what is it? What happened? Did somepony do something to Spike?”

They both looked at her as if she’s lost her sense of reality. “No Princess he’s in the front of the castle creating a large bon fire. He requests you, he sounds very depressed.” Golden stated looking out the window seeing Spike burn some books and pictures.

Twilight rubbed her eyes with her hooves and got up to do a light stretch. After doing her morning routine she went outside and saw that spike did indeed create a large bon fire and by the looks of it, it was continuing to grow from what he was putting inside of it. Twilight was both confused of why he’s doing this and how big the fire was going to be.

“Spike what are you doing if you keep this up you’re going to set a house on fire…” She was cut off from Spike putting up a picture of Rarity in a VERY suggestive pose…. She was about to question it until he tossed it into the bon fire. From that action she fully understood what was going on. “When you’re ready to talk Spike you know where I’ll be… Just, put out the fire when you’re done, I’m sorry Spike…” She didn’t want to talk to him at his current state of mind so she’s letting him burn it all until he’s done with it. Then she’ll begin the long and painful healing process of it all.

When Twilight entered in the castle she can hear Sunset in the kitchen. The smell of chocolate chip pancakes filled the air. She made her way to the source which was Sunset cooking Pancakes but Golden was annoying her and by the looks of it he was pushing buttons that shouldn’t be pushed.

“I’m just giving you a suggestion.”

“Well your suggestion is wrong!” She was mixing and pour with rage practically spilling some pancake batter on the counter-top.

“She will love it, I’m telling you why would I steer you wrong?”

Sunset had enough she stabbed the countertop causing a large crack to appear from the epicenter of the knife’s impact.

Twilight ran in between them and quickly thought of a solution to solve this before someone end being buried next to Flash Sentry.

“Golden Arrow! I think Piercing needs you for something.”

“No I don’t!” Piercing yelled from the ceiling shadows.

“Well then go do something else then allow me to speak to Princess Sunset alone.”

Golden bowed respectfully “If you wish Princess…” he teleported somewhere else along with Piercing.

Twilight saw the knife stabbed into the counter-top and removed it with her magic, placing it next to the sink away from Sunset. She gave her a small embrace calming Sunset down a bit but eventually she was calm enough to finish the breakfast without any issues. While eating they had a small talk which turned into a small argument.

“Please Sunset?” Twilight have the puppy eyes stare to her.

“No, I will plan this entire vacation from start to end. All you need to do is relax and clam down.” Sunset finished the last bite of her breakfast and placed the dishes in the sink, levitated a sponge and began washing the dishes. Twilight was holding her hind hooves like a child begging a mother for some toy.

“Please Sunset I want to help you.” Sunset was growing more and more frustrated by the second. Sunset Teleported Twilight to the throne room until she was done.

Once done Sunset sat on her throne chair and levitated a scrolls and clipboards around examining the vacation schedule carefully and making sure there was no error with it all. Twilight was peering over and looking at all the info written as it flew by one by one.

Sunset looked to her side and saw that Twilight was trying to hide but failed. She made all the scrolls and clipboards disappear and scooted closer to Twilight bringing her in a loving embrace. Sunset gave Twilight a small peck on the head and tightened the embrace. Twilight looked up at Sunset who showed the same emotions to her as they stared into each other’s eyes. Sunset stroked her hair lovingly. Letting all of Twilight’s worries wash away.

“Listen Twilight,” Sunset spoke softly, “I know you want to help me believe me I would’ve loved for you to help me but you are stressed out, you may not notice but I have and so has Princess Celestia. So please Twilight as one Princess to another and a Lover to another. Please let me do this by myself I’ll be fine I know what your interests are and what you want to do. I love you and your safely I value over my own.” Sunset kissed Twilight softly on the lips and soon parted away letting Twilight lay against her, she made the scrolls and clipboards reappear as she restarted to examine them once more.

Spike came in through the front of the castle looking like he’s been crying for a few hours, He was holding a Picture of Rarity and him side by side. The last picture he had of her. Spike looked at Sunset and Twilight. Twilight was slowly drifting off into a small nap of peaceful slumber and Sunset was going through the vacation plans.

Spike stepped next to Sunset who stopped what she was doing to look at him completely.

“Sunset I need a torch…”

His voice was faded and very inaudible but Sunset understood him nevertheless.

“Why do you need a torch?”

“Please Sunset…” Spike wasn’t in the mood to argue with her or to wake Twilight he didn’t know which was worse.

“Give me the picture…” Spike nodded and handed her the picture. He walked off to the room, from the large hallway you can hear the small amounts of crying echoing. She felt bad from him but Twilight wanted to handle it so she didn’t interfere unless she really needed to. Sunset went back to what she was doing before and sighed to herself, she looked to her left and saw Twilight completely asleep. She looked up to the ceiling and didn't see anyone but the darkness of the shadows but she knew the both Piercing and Golden were there watching.

“It’s going a long day…”
