Tragic Times

Twilight opens her eyes slowly. Memories of the previous night fill her mind. She tries the best to hold back the tears,but its no use. She looks around room 110 and notices that her friends aren't there anymore. Not even the CMC were there. Although they were the one's who saw it all happen from their clubhouse. They still hadn't said anything to her or anypony else for that matter. Twilight decided to go looking for her friends. She needed to talk to them. She takes one look back at the dragon in the hospital bed behind her."I'm so sorry Spike."Her voice cracking slightly as she exited the room tears rolling down her cheeks.

'I told ya already! We should just leave 'er be. She was the one that hatched the little feller'"

"I know but shouldn't we at least tell her the news. She deserves to know."

She could just make out the voices of her friends arguing. She moved in closer to hear what they were arguing about.

"Ah' know, but ah just don't wanna see 'er get hurt anymore."

" Then what should we tell her? That he's going to be fine? That he's going to live? You're the element of honesty. You should know better than to lie."

"Like ah' said ah' don't wanna see her hurtin' anymore than she already is."

"We should just tell her that he's not going to make it. We should atleast break it to her while he's still alive. It's better to tell her than to let her find out by herself. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie have already gone home. Now it's only me, you, Scootaloo, and Applebloom, and they haven't even said a word since yesterday!"

Twilight couldn't believe what she was hearing. Spike was going to die, and they didn't even wake her up to tell her?

I can't believe that they don't trust me enough to tell me he's going to die. I thought they were my friends.

She starts crying outside the room that they are in. She tries to stop herself, afraid of being caugth eavesdropping on their conversation, but she can't hold back any longer.

"Hey, AppleJack?"

"Yeah, Rainbow?"

"Do you hear somepony crying?"

"Yeah, I can hear it. I-I think it's coming from the doorway."

When AppleJack and RainbowDash got closer to the door they noticed that the pony that was crying was Twilight. She had heard them saying that Spike wouldn't make it out of his coma.

"We're sorry Twilight, we were going to tell you eventually. We both know that unless we find a way to get him to come out of his coma we won't be able to save him."

"Ah'm awfully sorry Twilight. But they can't find a way to save 'im in time."

"If it makes you feel any better. I'll let you be the first one to buck up the person who did this to Spike."

Overhearing AppleJack and RainbowDash's conversation Apple Bloom and Scootaloo decided to tell them what they saw happen to Spike. They thought that if they told them that it would help them find Trixie and locking her up for a long time. That is after they bucked her up pretty good.

Scootaloo and Apple Bloom sigh at the same time. "Well, here we go."

"Yep, here we go."

"AppleJack, RainbowDash, Twilight?" The two girls say simultaneously

"What is it Apple Bloom? Can't you see that Twilight is hurtin' right now?"

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo look at each other nervously and swallow hard.

"We know who did this to Spike." They say simultaneously.

"WHAT!" Twilight screams, startling her friends that were consoling her. "Who, WHO did this to Spike?!" Twilight frantically said shaking Apple Bloom and Scootaloo violently.

"Tttrrriiixxxeee..." Apple Bloom replies still being shaken by Twilight who doesn't seem to notice that she is still shaking them. When she hears that name she suddenly stops shaking them and developes a murderous look in her eyes.

"Uh... Twilight? Are you okay?" AppleJack asks pulling her sister away from the purple unicorn slowly.

"I like this new Twilight!" RainbowDash responds proudly. With Scootaloo behind her.

"I have a plan for you Trixie." Twilight says with a devilish grin forming on her lips. But what she didn't know is that the blue unicorn had already planned for something like this to happen. What she didn't plan for was it happening before Spike died. She had no idea what she had just gotten herself into. But it was too late for her to turn herself in. She had already left the hospital as soon as everypony had fallen asleep. She was silently waiting in her temporary hotel room on the outskirts of Manehatten. She knew that it would take awhile for them to track her down. Even with Twilight's expert knowledge of magic.

"RainbowDash?"

"Yes Twilight?"

"Will you please go get the others for me."

"Sure."

"Oh, and one more thing."

"Yes?"

"Make sure that Rarity brings Sweetie Bell. We might need her skills to help us track down Trixie."

"On it!" Rainbow Dash says enthusiastically running out of the hospital taking flight heading for Rarity's.
