Late Nights With Luna

Twilight was right, for only two hours later, in the late hours of the night, a knock sounded at her door.  She knew instantly that it was Spike, so she rushed across to fling the door open.

There they were.  Applejack, Big McIntosh, and Spike; all standing there with a tired look on their face.  “Here ya are Twilight.  We dropped ol Snips and Snails off a few minutes ago, and wanted to get this little fella home.”  Twilight rushed forward and embraced Spike, who hugged her back.

“Thank You so much Applejack!  You two go on home and  get some rest, I know you’ve been traveling all day.”  Applejack tried to suppress a yawn and turned “All righty then.  Me ‘n Big Mac’ll see ya later.  Night Spike, Night Twalight.”  Twilight and Spike waved them off and shut the door behind them.

“I missed you so much Spike.  I’m glad your back.” She hugged him tightly again.  “I missed you too Twilight.” He hugged back.  “I’m not tired at all.  Do you want me to help clean?” he looked around at the freshly cleaned library.  Twilight giggled “No, I don’t think that’s necessary.  Hey!  Come on Spike, I made you a little something.”  She scooped him up onto her back.

She trotted quickly up the stairs and before she entered into their room, she told Spike to close his eyes.  He did so, and Twilight walked into the room, dumping him onto her bed.  She giggled “No Peeking.”  Twilight grabbed the hanger in her mouth and held it up in front of Spike.  “Ok, open your eyes.” She said softly.

“It… It’s beautiful Twilight!  Did you make this?”  She blushed at the compliment and nodded.  “I can barely wait to try it on!”  He gently took the clothing off its hanger and pulled the coat tight around his scaly body, putting the soft wool earmuffs around his neck.

“I really can’t thank you enough Twilight!  I love it!” he said looking at himself in the nearby mirror.  Twilight blushed and said “Your welcome Spike.  I love you, you know that right?”  Spike blushed too and said “I love you too Twilight, and really thank You.”  He took the coat off and placed it neatly back onto its hanger and hung it back in it’s proper place at the foot of his bed.

She noticed Spike yawn “Come on Spike, let’s get ready for bed.  I know that you’re tired, I am too.”  Spike nodded in agreement and climbed into his bed at the foot of Twilight’s.  Twilight closed the blinds and blew out the candles, coating the room in darkness.  Before she climbed into bed though, as she did most nights, she placed a quick kiss on Spike’s head and crawled underneath her sheets.
