Twilight really likes heavy metal. That's why I think Spike spends almost every day tidying up the castle. I think it's an alicorn thing...

Chapter 1 (Edited)

Year 372

"Canterlot plundering."

Dragon troops assault the Capital city. The two sisters were protected by 189 unicorn guards, who fought in front of the entrance of Canterlot castle and continued fighting while retreating back to the castle of the two sisters. Only 42 of them survived.

-------------------------------------*****-------------------------------------

It was a quiet afternoon in Ponyville. Twilight was quietly reading a book about early pony magical theory written by Starwirl the bearded. With a cup of tea on her left side and about ten books in a pile on the other side for daily "light" reading all while listening to the daily music selection from Ponyville's radio station.

Spike stood on a ladder, the dragon busy organizing the biographies of the pillars of Equestria that Ms. Cheerilee requested Twilight acquire a couple of days ago for a special job at the school. It was not a very difficult task for Spike but being first edition books they were much bigger and heavier than the more modern versions. Of course Twilight’s library had each edition of their biographies, but the first editions always had to go on the upper shelves, and each later edition goes on a lower shelf than the previous edition.

Spike, after ordering the last book of the biography, came down the stairs.

"I've finished ordering the Biography Twilight. I'm going to the kitchen to get a glass of juice and read my comics. Do you want me to bring you something?" Spike asked Twilight as he headed to the door.

"Thanks Spike! Another cup of chamomile tea, if it's not too much trouble," answered Twilight with a soft smile of gratitude.

"Not at all, Twilight. I'll be right back," says Spike as he hurried to the kitchen, closing the library door behind him.

A few seconds after Spike left the library, Twilight heard a message on the radio that put her on high alert. "Our next song is at the request of Fluters... Shy?, Fluttes...hi?, the song is called the pony guard of ponyton".

After about two minutes Spike returned to the library with a glass of orange juice and a cup of chamomile tea for twilight, only to find himself facing the huge door rumbling as if it were being hit by a big hammer... Boom... Boom…

"Twilight what's going on, what is that noi-" Spike asked twilight as he opened the library door before being interrupted and knocked into the wall by the voice of Twilight, with a force that could easily compete with the royal canterlot voice of Princess Celestia.

Twilight sang as loud as she could while standing on her back legs, with her front legs raised to the sky. Flapping and moving her head up and down with her eyes closed, not noticing the books falling from the shelves or poor Spike who was knocked out of the room when he opened the door.

A few seconds later, Starlight arrived running at full speed only to find Spike stunned on the floor with a cup and glass spilled next to him.

"Spike what's going on, what's all that noise?" Starlight covered her ears with the noise coming from the library as she tried to ask Spike, who was still stunned on the floor with only enough strength to half finish a sentence.

"Twilight... Singing... Ponyton..." were the words the poor dragon could say as he tried to recover from the force of the blow against the wall.

"What did you say spike... I can't hear you," Starlight tried to say to poor Spike who was still lying on the ground and was now pointing a claw at Twilight still singing with all her strength in the library.

“The castle of the two sisters is waiting!” She sang.

Twilight was still singing as loud as she could, now with all four legs on the floor, eyes closed, still flapping her wings and moving her head up and down, not yet noticing the books falling one by one from the shelves.

Starlight, after concentrating for a few seconds and making her horn shine, was able to create a bubble of silence over the two of them so that they could hear each other and talk without having to yell at each other.

"Wow Spike. I had no idea that twilight could sing so loud," said Starlight to Spike with his eyes wide open looking at Twilight.

When Spike stood up with a bit of work and looked at starlight with a look of resignation rather than amazement, he just wiped the dirt off his face.

"Twilight always sings like that when she hears a Ponyton song,” Spike exclaimed.

"Ponyton? I didn't know twilight liked heavy metal,” Starlight replied.

"Heavy metal, rock, power metal, industrial, any band of that style, ponyton, iron filly, yakstein, timberwolves..." Spike replied to Starlight as he counted the bands with his fingers.

Meanwhile Twilight continued in her euphoric singing without stopping the rest of the song, only now standing on her back legs and moving her front legs in what could be interpreted as an air guitar.

"And Twilight is finally finished singing, can we safely enter the library, Spike?" asked Starlight to the young dragon as she continued to watch the few books left on the shelves fall.

"It's almost finished Starlight..." replied the dragon, without changing his mood, waiting a few seconds to finish his sentence "...and then I will have to rearrange the whole library from scratch."

“Come and tell the equestrian Guards' story agaaaaain,” Twilight finished singing, with her four legs on the ground, wings outstretched, sweating and panting louder than if she had run from Ponyville to Canterlot.

Only after a few seconds does Twilight notice Starlight and Spike inside a magic bubble at the entrance of the library, which Starlight burst when she realized that Twilight was no longer singing. With piles of books all over the library and a look from Spike with a slight tone of anger in it.

"oh... Sorry Spike... could you tidy up the library for me, I'd really appreciate it," asked Twilight to the little dragon with his eyes closed, as she tries to cover a giggle that escapes her mouth with her hooves.

"Sure, Twilight... That's my job..." replied Spike to the princess of freindship in an almost mechanical tone, implying that this was not the first time he had done so, as he entered the library.

Author's Note

This is the first story I write here, I wanted to start with something short and I was inspired by the same image I used for the cover.

The song that twilight sings is "the last stand" from sabaton.

Thanks to Jest for editing this story, it is now much easier to read.
As i explained at the beginning english is not my native language and i was forced to use a translator, some parts couldn't be understood and others were completely my fault.

feel free to point out any flaw you find and I will try to fix it as soon as possible, any constructive comments will be very appreciated...
