The early morning sun rose and peaked, sunlight coming through the window. My eyes easing open and shutting from the sting of it's bright rays. I buried my face back into the pillow and into something else soft and silky. I slowly reopened one of my eyes and peaked at what it was. Twilight's navy mane hung off the side of her face and down into mine. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply, taking in her scent. I didn't really care we were ponies now, but I did care that she was happy about. I felt something hard poke at my side and moved my hoof down between us. I pulled up the book we had read last night, a few pages wrinkled. I fixed them and closed the book, picking it up in my teeth and reached over her. I set it down beside the glasses, one with a few yellow drops at the bottom. The bottle about a quarter of the way down and resealed.

I hovered back over her and lied back down, reaching a foreleg around her and holding tight. She lied there beside me, curled up, her face nuzzled into my shoulder, the covers over us. I sighed and buried my face back into her mane, lying there breathing quietly. I slept soundly last night, I didn't even dream. "If only I had more of those."

Twi stirred and her eyes opened, gracing me with her beautiful violet. She smiled up to me and nuzzled her face lovingly to my chest. "Morning."

"Morning." I said holding tightly.

"Breakfast?"

"Sure."

I pushed down the covers and we slipped out either side. I stretched and she walked over to her mirror, levitating her brush and adjusting her mane. I twisted my neck, the usual popping clicks going off. She set the brush down a walked away from the mirror coming close. We shared a hug and a quick kiss, smiling at each other. She walked down the steps first, me close behind. We walked out into the open area of the library and into the kitchen. Spike already sat there at the counter with a small bowl of gems, chewing on one. "Morning guys."

"Morning." We said together.

"Hey where's Kian?" I asked.

"Don't know." He shrugged. "Still haven't seen him since last night."

"Where the hell could he be?" I said taking a seat next to him.

"Maybe he's up in the guest room asleep." Twi said going through the cabinets with her magic.

"You know what's weird?" Spike asked looking up to me. "I could'a sworn I saw something pink go out the door this morning early this morning."

I raised a brow and looked down to him.

"I know, right?"

A door behind us opened and a frazzled Kian sat down on the other side of Spike. His mane ruffled and lopsided. He seemed to hold a permanent smirk and held his head up with a hoof. "Orange juice please. Thank you."

"Bro, um, the fuck?"

"Dude seriously, you look rough." Spike added.

"Exactly." He sighed.

I only looked at him with a raised brow, shaking my head.

Twi set a glass of orange juice down by Kian and went back to what she was doing.

"Where were you last night?" I asked.

"Id rather not say." He answered nonchalantly.

I looked at him curiously and Twi set a bowl of oats and dried fruit down in front of me. I looked down to with mixed emotions. "Talk about oatmeal."

"I know it's different than what your used to but, this is what there is." She said with a half smile.

"I know, it's fine, just looks a little..."

"Not fit for consumption." Kian piped in looking at it.

I gave him a death stare and ran a hoof over my mouth. He cringed and went back to looking at his juice.

"It looks fine Twi." I said putting up a smile. I dug my muzzle into the bowl and took in a mouth full of the breakfast, chewing enthusiastically and trying my best to enjoy it. It wasn't that bad compared to what I usually had for breakfast, though I was kinda missing the usual toast and whatever to drink. I swallowed and put up a smile. "Great."

She smiled and sat down with her own.

"Hold on." Spike said bracing himself. Kian looked at him nervously and me and Twi simply watched. Spike let out a loud burp and a ball of green fire and smoke. Kian jumping back and over to the other side of the counter taking cover. A scroll dropped down onto the counter top and Twi levitated it over. A gold seal with the letter C held the red strap around it.

It unfurled and she read it aloud. "Dear Twilight, I must inform you that two more guests will be coming to stay in ponyville for the time being. I request that you show them to their new lodgings and help them fit in. Princess Celestia."

"Two new ponies in town, looks like you guys won't be the only outsiders." Spike said smiling.

"Does it say anything else?" I asked.

"Just where they'll be living. Oh it right by us too, great, new neighbors."

Kian laughed a little at that. "Neighbors."

I dug my face back into the bowl of oats thoughtfully. "So noting about who they are?" I asked chewing.

Twi looked it over again. "Nope."

"Weird." I said swallowing.

"Hold on." Spike said holding a scaled hand to his stomach. Another burp and ball of smoke and fire, leaving another letter. This one was different though, instead of the golden seal it was a silvery color with an L stamped onto it.

Twi levitated it over and opened it, reading. "Oh, it for you." She said as it floated over into my face. "I guess they know you're here too."

"Hmmm." I read it to myself.

Dear foreign subject,

We request an audience with you immediately for private concerns.
More shall be told after your arrival.

Below the writing was a stamped seal with runic markings.

"The fuck?" I said re reading it.

"What?" Twi asked levitating the letter over to read it herself. "That's strange, why would an audience be requested of you?"

I only shrugged and looked at the letter. "The hell is that thing?" I asked pointing a hoof at the runic seal.

"Oh, that, it's a teleportation charm. You just place your hoof on it and away you go." She explained.

"What, like this?" I asked placing a hoof on it. A bright flash and a magic-y sound was all that was left after that.

A wide eyed Kian, a confused Spike, and an intrigued Twilight was all that remained.
