Spike's Diary

Dear Diary,

Today was not a great time for me. I had to try and do everything I could to keep all the noises of Canterlot away from Twilight so she could rest. There's this big gathering and she had to be at her best to try and sort it all out. And you know, you never realise just how loud a city like Canterlot is until it suddenly becomes your job to keep those sounds away. But, if I'm being honest, I might have let my position go to my head a little bit. I started using my position as a proxy to Twilight to get all sorts of great things coming my way. And yeah, I can see you judging me already, but you weren't there! It's easier than you think to get swept up in that sort of thing.

But, as you can imagine, this all sort of fell apart towards the end. Everything I'd been doing to keep Twilight asleep ended up causing an even bigger disaster later on, and the gathering of the delegates was nearly ruined because of it. Because of me. I felt terrible and did what I could to apologise and make up for it. Twilight and Cadance were really nice about it, just like everypony else was, and I'm glad they're still not mad at me for it.

Still, I should probably avoid positions of power in future. I don't think I'm really ready for that sort of thing.
