Spike's Diary

Dear Diary,

Apparently it's now my lot in life to be somecreature the Crusaders come to whenever they go through some sort of big thing in their lives. Now, I like those girls as much as anypony in this town, but sometimes it's just out of nowhere the way they arrive here at the castle to talk to me. But, I suppose when you've just been through what Bloom's been through, it's not unreasonable. I'm guessing she's already told Sweetie and Scoot, so that make me number three on her list probably. And what was it she wanted to talk about? Her parents. Seems she and the rest of the Apple siblings just got a bit of a history lesson about that, and more than a few secrets came out from it.

I'll admit, it was kinda hard not to get sucked into the story as Bloom was talking about it. All these things they never knew about their Mother and Father, this whole other family they thought they were supposed to hate this whole time, it really was a lot to take in. In the end, Bloom was just quiet for a long while, and I started to get worried. I asked her if she was okay, and she just smiled at me. Then, she leaned over and hugged me, and before I could say a word, she was off, saying something about hanging out with her Granny.

So...yeah, kind of an unexpected day for me.
