Pony in my pocket

Chapter four

-Twilights Castle-

Spike was dusting the books all day. Though the constant pacing of Twilight was getting on his nerves.
He tried to keep focusing on cleaning the library, until the alicorn was suddenly behind him.

"Spike! I think I totally messed up!" She said, anxious.

Spike gave her an unamused glare. "Oh really." He stated flatly.

"Yes!!! Oh my gosh if Princess Celestia finds out...... " Spike raised an eyebrow.

"So. What exactly did you mess up this time?"

"I shot Rainbow Dash through the mirror with a spell and broke the mirror." Spikes left eye twitched.

"You what!?"

Twilight only grinned sheepishly. Spike's hand hit his face.

"Why would you do that?! Are you out of your mind again?!"

"It wasn't on purpose! She deserved it!"

"Since when do friends deserve to be shot through a magical mirror?!"

"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!!! I stayed up all night reading the book so Dash didn't have to wait longer. You know I can't think straight when I don't sleep!"

Spikes eye twitched and his hand met his face again.

"Spike! We don't have time for that! I gotta find a way to repair it before the princess finds out!"

Spike only glared annoyed at the alicorn, but followed anyways.

Sunset woke up in the middle of the night by a shivering that came from next to her. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she sat up, rubbing her eyes. She soon found the source of what had woken her up.

"Rainbow Dash? Are you awake?"

"Yeah.." The pony replied in a rather scratchy voice. More than usual.

"Are you feeling okey?" Sunset asked concerned and felt the pegasus' forehead.
"You have a fever, you're burning up!" Sunset stated. "You stay here, I'm gonna get you some wet towels." Sunset said, jumping up from her bed and grabbing a towel she had brought with her. She got dressed and went outside to the river. She dug the towel into the cold water. Then she ran back to her tent before anyone saw her.

Back inside, Sunset was relived to find Twilight and Spike still asleep. She went over to her bed where the pony laid on its side, barely moving. Sunset placed the towel on the pony's head and carefully opened the wings. She was like Twilight when she was still a pony. She had studied enough books to know that Pegasi control their body temperature through their wings.

Sunset couldn't help but smile when the Pegasus looked quite a bit better, assuming the fever finally went down. She was glad about it, but still.

What had caused it?

The answer would have to wait until tomorrow. A good nights rest would help, both of them.

-Twilights Castle-

Sadly, sleep was something that Spike was not going to get. Twilight was running around, flipping through books and kept on talking the whole time. As much as he hated it when she did that, he couldn't really blame her. She must be feeling really guilty after what happened.

It was her fault. And now the Princess Of Friendship had to find a way to bring back a friend, that she threw through a magical portal to another dimension and broke said portal.

"The book! Of course! Why didn't I think of that?!" Twilight exclaimed and ran to the mirror that had the book on top of it. Spikes hand found a new home on his face.

Twilight grabbed the book with her magic. Once it was on the table she grabbed a quill with her magic and flipped through the pages of the book until she found an empty page and started writing.

"Dear Sunset Shimmer,

I have terrible news. One of my friends, Rainbow Dash, got through the mirror-portal and now it's broken. She has to be somewhere in your world. I'm trying to find a way to fix this.

Your friend Twilight Sparkle"

Once she was done writing, she face-planted on the table and groaned.

"I'm the worst friend ever..."

She felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up she saw Spike with a sympathetic look. She sighed.
