Spike's Imaginary(?) Friend

"Wakie wakie, Spikie Wikie." I try to poke spike and my finger goes right through him. Now I know that was wrong because he's supposed to feel that. But this is not the task at hand.

"Chores don't begin till half an hour later." He groans. Time to use the secret weapon.

"Fine, then you don't want to see Rarity today, eh?" He was up on his feet. But realization strikes soon after as his expression turned to a questioning look.

"But it's really early, don't you think she'll be sleeping?"

"We're not going to the Boutique right away."

"And why did you wake me up so early then?"

"You need to prepare."

"Prepare? Isn't it a normal visit?"

"Oh, it's perfectly normal. Now come on, we need to get moving."

"What's with the 'we'?"

"You are on a date, I am your support, and we need to get moving!" I repeat.

"Date? Like a date, date? Like a seriously serious date, da-"

"Look, I'm growing bored with your questions. Are you coming or not?"

"Hey, sorry that I asked about when I joined this dating service."

We walked most of the way to the Carousal Boutique. It was a beautiful morning without the noise of the day... Except for the noise of a certain dragon.

"Do you think Twilight will be mad that I left? I mean, I didn't leave an excuse or a note or anything... and she tends to overreact to things."

"That's your future self's problem." He gave me a confused look. "What I mean is, you don't need to worry about that now."

"okay then." He paused, but not for long. "How did you even arrange this visit?"

"I did not." Again with the confused look. "Come on Spike, you know I can't interact with anything."

"But I don't even know if she has other plans, maybe we're disturbing-"

"Disturbing is good." STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT! "Just try to make a friendly conversation."

"I don't know..." I stop walking.

"What's with you? You're supposed to be there by now. The Spike I know will sprout wings just to get there A.S.A.P."

"But there are so many flaws in that plan, if you can even call it that."

"Looks like the time you spent with Twilight broke you."

"No it didn't."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"You don't sound so."

"Can we just go? Or go back?"

"We can't."

"Please?"

"No seriously, we can't. I don't know where we are."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. You didn't say anything so I assumed that it was the right way."

"you didn't say anything so I assumed that it was one of those 'preparations'." Touche

"At least we got all day."

"But we didn't eat breakfast."

"You're right, summon me a sandwich." He does so and throws it on my face. "Good I didn't ask for pie."

"The Boutique! At last!" I shout as we reach our destination around 10:00 A.M.

"I'm so tired and hungry and sleepy and..." Spike whines. That reminds me that I wasn't exhausted at all, just really bored.

"Good, now you can eat at Rarity's. Oh Element of Generosity." I try to knock and end up face-palming.

"Allow me" Said Spike with a smirk. As his fist reaches the door he freezes and his smile vanishes.

"Well? What is it?"

"It's a date..." I groan.

"Yes, now deal with it. Knock the door!" He's still frozen. "It's easy just move your fist back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Done." No movement. "At least say something." Is he... stoned? "AAAAAAHHH!" I go to find something else to do leaving a completely zoned out Spike at the Rarity's doorstep. Eventually somepony will open the door.

"What to do, what to do." I start talking to myself as I ascend to the sky. "I could take a peep on the princess."

"You creep! Haven't you had enough Twilight last night?"

"Maybe, and maybe not. And for my information I'm just going to see what Celestia does with her free time."

"That doesn't explain watching her faithful student sleep."

"That... was another case. I was bored OK?!" Man, I am going crazy.

"Oh, here we are, just dozens of hard rock walls to search in ahead. Shan't be a problem." I chuckle as I go through said walls. It feels weird. Internal wind, and feeling the stone and not feeling it at the same time. Anyway, here is the ruler of Equestria and... My God.

"Princess Celestia, this is too much. even for me!"

"Oh,Twilight, don't be so humble. We both know how talented you are at this." Twilight blushes.

My God.

"Alright." Twilight spoke with a shaky breath.

"Don't be so nervous, you can handle this."

"But not something this big. I'll need assistance."

"Is there somepony particular on your mind? I'll invite them over to join in."

"Spike."

My God those are a lot of books.

"Of course." The princess went to write a letter. I tear my gaze from the uncountable books and peep on what she is writing.

Dear Spike,

I hope that you are having a good day and I apologize if I am interrupting it. We are reorganizing the Canterlot Library and Twilight cannot do it alone. Please attend as soon as you can.

Princess Celestia.

Then, she departs the study to her...well...other study.

"If only I was that serious about school." She perks up.

"Who said that?" she speaks calmly. for a second there I thought she actually heard me.

"I'm nobody in particular, just a ghost haunting your study because it was built over a graveyard. whooooooooo"

"Discord? you don't sound like him."

"Wait, you can hear me?"

"Quite clearly."

"Well, can you see me?" She looks for any living creature around.

"No." I sigh.

"At least I have someone else to talk to."

"About talking, how long have you been haunting this place? because I've lived long enough to confirm that there is no graveyard here."

"No, you weren't meant to hear that. And I'm an alien ghost from another dimension brought here by a wormhole." I decided to shut up as soon as a realized how stupid I sounded.

"Please continue, your story sounds very amusing." Amusing? is that what I am? an amusement?

"Okay then, this is going to take a while so grab a seat...or you can sit on the floor too." She is going to have to explain a great deal on how she is able to hear me, but that's for later.
