Blast from the Past

“There must be some way, but how, HOW!”

she was pacing back and forth her mind in a fluster of thoughts and ideas her quill in engulfed in her magic.

“Oh for Celestia sakes I’ve tried everything! from scrolls to incantations... no I can’t give up, not now I’ve come this far and I will not fail!”

Spike, who was in his bed was awoken by all of Twilight's frustrating moans and groans. His groggy body sat up rubbing his tired eyes. He clumsily walked downstairs to the source of all the commotion.

“Twilight, what in Celestia are you doing up so late it's two o’clock in the morning! Your so loud I wouldn’t be surprised if you woke up everypony in Equestria!”

Spikes gaze fell upon Twilight's unkempt mane and bloodshot purple eyes. there were coffee stains on her pale lab coat and a plethora of assorted scrolls, books, incantations and papers scattered across the wooden floor and table.

“uhh, Twilight, are you alri...”

But before he could finish his sentence Twilight teleported with a flash of purple magic and appeared seconds in front of Spike just inches from his nose. Spike fell over startled by Twilights spell.

“Spike, Spike! I’m so glad you're awake! I need you to pick up some things for me in the Canterlot Star Swirl the Bearded wing it's really really really important that you do this for me. I would go myself but I’ve been far too busy to get around to it.”

Spike looked into Twilight's eyes her pupils growing to an impossible size, her face now centimeters away from his nose her snout blowing short quick bursts of warm air onto his face.

“Twilight what exactly are you working on? Have you been getting any sleep lately?”

Twilight look at Spikes Puzzled face analyzing every emotion, every facial flinch. She then trotted over to the organized chaos of assorted papers on the table. She surrounded a vial with her mage and began to swish it around observing the bubbling concocton.

“Sleep? I don’t need sleep, I’ll sleep when I’ve finished this experiment.”

Twilight set the vial down and quickly galloped onto the next vial of bubbling fluids.

“You still never told me what you’re working on, can’t it wait till morning?”

Twilight stared down at Spike her eyes pierced through his very soul.

“I’m on the verge of the most important scientific breakthrough that ponykind has ever seen and I have no time to explain it to you now Spike I just need you do do this task for me so I can proceed to the next phase of this experiment.”

Spike sighed and walked over to the door picking up his rucksack along the way.

“Anything else you need me to get Ms. Demandy Pony Pants?”

Twilight glanced over at spike.

“Oh yeah, could you get some more coffee from the shop next to Sugar Cube Corner? I’ve run out and I’m running on empty.”

Spike was unamused seeing that Twilight never discovered what being sarcastic really was.

“ugh! Fine i’ll be back in an hour or so, but when I come back I want answers!”

As Spike walked out the door Twilight spoke.

“Don’t worry Spike everything will become clear soon”
