Twilight's Lunchbox

"Spikey-Wikey, I have a gift for you!" Rarity told the purple dragon. Spike's eyes were filled with infatuation for the beautiful white mare. All he wanted was to be with her, that was the only gift that really mattered to Spike. Spike sighed softly; he loved Rarity, he really did. Just when Spike thought all hope was lost, his love leaned in for a kiss. Spike held his breath; was Rarity sure of what she was doing? Still, it mattered not to Spike, for an unloving kiss from his true love was still a kiss from his true love nonetheless. Spike eagerly leaned forward into the gorgeous white mare's kiss.

"Hoo!" Rarity said. Spike looked stunned for a moment. What was she doing? Why were Rarity's eyes becoming less attractive? "Hoo!" Rarity repeated.

Spike sat up in bed suddenly, finding himself face to face with Owlowicious. "Hoo!" Owlowicious repeated for the third time.

"Aggh!" Spike exclaimed, shoving the bird off of him. Owlowicious looked puzzled for a moment, tilting his head to the side.

"Hoo?" asked the bird.

"Not now, Owlowicious!" Spike yelled at the bird, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He looked out of his bedside window. The sun filtered in generously, nearly blinding the small purple dragon. "What time is it?" he asked.

"Hoo." Owlowicious replied. Spike sighed; was he really woken up from his flawless dream by some bird who was incapable of holding an intelligible conversation? Spike looked at Owlowicious; the bird tilted it's head to the side again. Yes, he really was woken up by this horrible bird. Spike sighed and got out of his bed; he would come up with an evil plot for revenge on Owlowicious later. First of all, Spike had to find Twilight and ask her what she wanted him to do. Spike went around the library searching for the lavender mare, but she was nowhere to be found. When Spike reached the ground floor, he caught sight of a note on the door.

Dear Spike,
I am going to go shopping for a bit, so make sure that you remain in the library and do all of your usual chores. Just reshelve all of the books I read last night.

Love, Twilight Sparkle

Yep, that was good old Twilight, reading tons of books as always! Spike chuckled as he trudged up the stairs to Twilight's bedroom. Sure as the sun would rise, there were all of the books at the side of Twilight's bed! Spike groaned; there were quite a few books there too. Spike grunted with the effort as he piled all of the books into his arms. That was about the only upside of doing all of this manual labor: Spike was sure to keep impressing his favorite mare if he kept these muscles up!

Spike sighed with relief as he pushed the final book back in it's designated spot. Just as he was about to climb down the ladder, the library door slammed open. Spike fell off of the ladder due to the sound of the door hitting the wall. As soon as Spike pulled his face off of the ground, he saw Twilight carrying a bag in her mouth. She rushed past Spike and entered the kitchen. Spike, being the curious dragon he was, followed the lavender mare to see what was so important.

"Spike!" Twilight called. Spike entered the kitchen shortly afterward, and saw what was concealed in the bag Twilight had been carrying. "Look at my new lunchbox!" Twilight exclaimed, proudly displaying her odd lunchbox. Spike looked at it curiously. It looked like a robot of some sort, but Spike didn't know why Twilight would want a robot lunchbox.

"What is it?" Spike asked. Twilight gasped and looked taken aback.

"You mean you don't..." Twilight began, facehoofing. She looked at the purple dragon with eyes filled with sorrow. "You haven't watched Celestial Wars before?" Spike shook his head, looking hurt. Twilight sighed. "This new generation, I'm telling you."

"What's Celestial Wars?" Spike asked.

"Nevermind, you can watch that later." Twilight told Spike. Spike could watch it whenever he was ready, Twilight had bought the whole collection of the movies. It was totally worth waiting in that line for three hours. Twilight thought about that for a minute. Actually, a movie night didn't sound like a bad idea! "Spike, I'll be back. I'm inviting the girls over for a movie night. You are going to watch Celestial Wars." With that, Twilight exited the library. Spike was left wondering what to do until Twilight got back.

* * *

Twilight entered the library all by herself. All of her friends had said that they were too busy to be watching movies today. Twilight sighed; now she was tired and wanted to go to sleep. She saw a mound of baby purple dragon as she passed by Spike's bed. She smiled down at the sleeping baby dragon before she went to bed. "Goodnight, Spike."

As Twilight lay in her bed, she started to think about her lunchbox. She had arranged a picnic with her friends the next day, and was planning on showing off her lunchbox. Twilight's eyes started to close slowly. The fluffy pillow swallowed up Twilight's head, and sucked her into the world of sleep.

* * *

Twilight awoke in a strange room. In the center lay her new lunchbox. She smiled and began to approach it. Suddenly, a shadow swept across it and it was gone. Twilight gasped in outrage as she saw a door being opened. The shadow rushed out of the door, and Twilight was left with no choice but to follow. She sprinted as fast as she could to catch up with the thief.

"Twilight!" Spike called, entering Twilight's room. Spike's jaw dropped as he saw Twilight's hooves flailing in the air as she lay on her back. Normally, Spike would have been concerned if something bad was happening to Twilight, but this was too funny. Spike doubled over onto the floor with laughter as Twilight ran for her life. It was priceless. Spike's laughing session was interrupted when Twilight did a flying tackle off of her bed and crashed right into Spike. "Agh!" Spike yelled, blowing fire into Twilight's face. Twilight stopped attacking, and Spike gasped in shock as he saw Twilight's face and mane. Her face was blackened, and her mane was burnt off in some places, but otherwise she was fine.

"Spike?" Twilight asked. Spike nodded his head. Twilight's facial expression grew angry. "Stay away from my lunchbox!" she growled. Twilight glanced up at her window. "Ah! I'm supposed to be meeting my friends for a picnic! Spike, go pack my new lunchbox!" The purple dragon rushed to the kitchen to prepare Twilight's lunch. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich would suffice. Twilight thought about what she had just done. Spike had tried to steal her lunch box! She figured it would be fine though. Twilight dashed into the kitchen. She snatched the lunchbox away from Spike as soon as he stuffed the sandwich inside. Twilight slammed the door shut behind her. Spike felt a few tears fall down his face. What had he done wrong?

* * *

"What's taking Twilight so long?!" Rainbow Dash asked angrily. They had been waiting for Twilight for more than half an hour! RD's questions were finally put to rest when a lavender shape could be seen making it's way up the hill they were having a picnic on top of.

"Hey, whaddya ya'll reckon that box there is?" Applejack asked. The other ponies glanced at the strange metal thing that Twilight was carrying. "And what the hay happened to Twilight?!" Applejack gasped as she saw the blackness on Twilight's face and her mane.

"Hey!" Twilight called, trotting up to her friends. Twilight set her lunchbox down on top of the blanket that Rarity had lain out. As soon as she set it down, Twilight plopped down right next to it.

"Hello, Twilight." greeted Fluttershy, walking up to Twilight. Twilight shoved her lunchbox behind her back protectively. Her friends didn't notice the gesture, however.

"What in the name of Celestia happened to your face, dear?" asked Rarity.

"I don't want to talk about it!" Twilight replied angrily. Twilight wasn't hungry yet, but she was going to devour that sandwich later on.

"What was that box you were carrying?" asked Pinkie curiously.

"None of your business!" Twilight answered bad-temperedly. Pinkie's hair proceeded to deflate, and the rest of her friends drew her back from Twilight.

"Ah think that ya should keep cleara' Twilight for a while." Applejack said, glaring at Twilight. Twilight didn't care. She didn't even know why she had come to this stupid picnic in the first place. Twilight laid down on the picnic blanket and closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened them again, she felt a lot happier...until she saw her friends with her lunchbox. Pinkie Pie had taken out the sandwich and was about to take a bite out of it.

"Noooooooo!" Twilight yelled, dashing for Pinkie. She wasn't really concerned with the sandwich as much as her lunchbox. Twilight's world seemed to move in slow motion as Applejack and Rainbow Dash hoof wrestled right next to her lunchbox. Twilight stared in horror as the two beast mares tried to overpower eachother.

"Ha! Gotcha now!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, slowly bringing Applejack's hoof down away from Twilight's lunchbox. Twilight sighed with relief, but her expression quickly reverted to it's previous state as Applejack spoke.

"Let me show ya how cowpony does it!" Applejack shouted, using all of her might in one massive burst. Dash was not able to prepare for the sudden onslaught, and both of their hooves slammed down into Twilight's Celestial Wars lunchbox. The cover dented in, but Applejack and Rainbow Dash acted as if nothing had even happened.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Twilight screamed, slamming her hooves to her sides as she sat up on the picnic blanket. Twilight's friends stared at her confusedly, and Twilight saw that there was no lunchbox lying next to Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Twilight looked in the places where her hooves had slammed down at. Under her left hoof lay her Celestial Wars lunchbox with a large dent in the cover.

Twilight's eyes began to twitch, and a red haze clouded her view. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" she screamed.
