Fourth Dimensional Pony

Thursday morning. Twilight Sparkle was up bright and early, around 7 o'clock today, not because she had planned anything truly important, but simply because she wanted to catch up on whatever books she hadn't read yet. Scanning through her massive library, she had not been looking for anything in particular, but rather something that caught the purple pony's eye first. She stopped and focused upon one title that seemed very interesting. Her unicorn horn glowed in a brilliant lavender light as she levitated the book from the shelf. She brought it down to her level and read the title aloud.

"Beyond Our Reality: Understanding Dimensions Above the Third"

She shrugged to herself, thinking that it sounded interesting enough. She rested herself near the window next to her bed and allowed the beautiful morning light to brighten the pages of her book. She opened the book to the introductory chapter and proceeded to do one of the things she loved the most in life: read.

Ten o' clock. Spike yawned and stretched out in his small basket bed as he awoke from a delightful dream. "Ah, Rarity... one day." he said to himself before stretching one final time. He looked over at Twilight who was too deep into her book to hear the baby dragon waking. "G'morning Twilight." Spike said as he picked himself up out of bed. Twilight remained silent as she magically flipped a page in her book, complete oblivious to her surroundings. Spike just smiled and shook his head. I Guess I'm feeding myself today then. he thought as he walked to and down the stairs. Spike was about to walk over to the 'house' portion of the library which was where the kitchen was, but was stopped in his tracks by a knock at the door. He looked over at the door and then to the kitchen. The knocking sounded out again, and he sighed. Breakfast will have to wait today. he thought to himself as he turned his course over to the door. He opened the door to find a familiar face on the other side. It was His and Twilight's good friend Pinkie Pie. She held a platter of freshly baked cupcakes in her mouth in front Spike's face and said, "Hm, Spmmke!! Wmmnm Cmmpcmmke?" (Hey, Spike!! Wanna cupcake?) A huge grin spread across Spike's face as took one of the delicious pastries. "Thanks, Pinkie!" he said as he looked up to... nothing. Where did she go? Spike just shrugged it off and recited a phrase he and the Mane 6 (besides Pinkie) had made up: "When it's Pinkie, we don't ask."

Twilight was on the twenty-eighth chapter of her book as the sound of a metal object striking wood broke her long focus and forced her to look up to see what it was. Pinkie was setting her platter of cupcakes upon Twilight's end table. "Hey Twilight Whatcha doin'?" She asked happily with that warm, loving smile only Pinkie could posses. "Oh, just reading this book I haven't read yet." Twilight responded as she marked her book and closed it. "What's this, Pinkie?" Pinkie picked up the platter with her mouth again and held it out at Twilight. "CMMCMMKES!!" (CUPCAKES!) Twilight smiled, but shook her head at the offering. "Sorry Pinkie, it's a bit too early for sweets for me." Pinkie's ears drooped down but picked up almost as instantly as she simply replied: "Mkmm!" (Okay!) Twilight sat back down near her book and looked back over at Pinkie... who wasn't there. "*Sigh*, When it's Pinkie we don't ask..."
