Love At First Nightby LeRainbowDashChaptersAn Unexpected VisitA Friendly ChatBuy Some Apples, SPIKEAn Unexpected VisitThe night was cold and frigid with the winds of the winter days. Twilight Sparkle lay in bed with her reading glasses and a book. She was currently studying the art of magical paint, the title for a type of unicorn magic. It revolved around using a prism to make a colour flow with magic energy. She read on, fascinated. As the night grew old, the unicorn set herself to a better fit. Little did she know she would be doing things she never imagined within the hour. Across the rare and expensive piece of parchment, a letter was scribbled. The words which shown the pleas of an old mare appeared. Some time after, the letter was sent, the sender eager to hear back. As Twilight lay in bed reading the final chapter of her book, her assistant walked through her door. "Hey Twi?" He addressed her, "You got mail." She looked up from her book and removed her glasses, levitating over the letter out of the baby dragon's claws. "Thanks, Spike." Spike scurried off into the living room, or 'library room', leaving the lavender pony alone. "Let's see..." She said, as she opened the parchment and began reading it. Dearest Twilight Sparkle, My apologies for the late night letter and wish not to interrupt. I wish to meet with thee. I request your guidance. Please reply soon. , Nightlight Nightlight? She thought, I don't know any pony named Nightlight..Unless it's a Canterlot pony... Hmm...I'd better reply. She scribbled a note and re-read it. Dear Nightlight, We may meet upon the earliest you can manage. , Twilight Sparkle "Oh goody!" The reading pony clapped, "Huzzah! We have not been let down!" Almost as immediately as she sent her response, Twilight heard a poof from downstairs. She head down as quickly as she could to investigate. There, she was meet with none other than, Princess of the Night Luna. "Princess Luna!" She said surprised, "What're you doing here?" "Twilight!" She said turning, "It is good to see thou again! I received your invitation! Is this not a good time?" "Invita-oh! You're 'Nightlight?'" She asked. "Did you not know this? I thought I may have mentioned it before.." "Perhaps it slipped my mind." Twilight chuckled. "Perhaps it did. Anyway, Twilight, what I ask is of great importance." "What is it, Princess?" "I wish to be instructed again in the ways of a modern day pony..." "Um...Gee I wouldn't really know where to begin or..." "But I believe in you, Twilight Sparkle, as you have helped us be understood before, on the night of Nightmares." "Well I guess I could try?" "Excellent! Should we begin at once?" "Well I was kind of reading a book and it's kinda late.." Twilight Sparkle scratched her head awkwardly. "It matters not. I shall return again tomorrow and we may begin." She took Twilight's hooves in her own, "And thanks again, Twilight. This means a lot to me." "Of course princess! I could never turn a pony down!" She chuckled, "Especially one such great power like you." "Oh you jest! Anyway, I look forward to tomorrow." "Me too." "Have an enjoyable night, MsSparkle." "You too, Luna." The princess vanished with a POOF, leaving Twilight to think about what had just happened. "Um whoa okay? I'm just not gonna ask." Spike tread off to his bed and lay down, confused. A Friendly Chat"The night before, Twilight Sparkle had been visited by Princess Luna. She had requested social teachings(Which seemed odd to ask Twilight) then left. Shortly after Twilight had dozed off to sleep." Spike documented. "Spike. What're you doing?" Twilight asked. "Documenting stuff. I wanna start keeping journals and things." "Oh..Kay..Anyway.Spike, I need you to help me prepare for my date with Princess Luna." "Date eh?" Spike wiggled his eyebrows mockingly. "Oh you know what I mean." She teased. "Well here you go." Spike said heaving over a bag full of heavy things, "What the hay'd ya put in there anyway?" "Just basic stuff." "Basic stuff? Celestia's sakes, Twilight, there's a melted Churro in here!" She shrugged, "Snack?" "Ugh." Spike facepalmed, "Forget it, I'm off on a date with Applebloom, I'll see you around." "A date eh?" Twilight mimicked Spike's earlier tease. "No Twilight, a real date. Applebloom asked me out. NOT the second hand ruler of Equestria which whom you'll help with social skills." Spike shut the door behind him, leaving Twilight dazed. "Um..Okay." It was 3PM Twilight and Luna had done many things and where currently sitting in the park, eating ice-cream. "You know, Twilight Sparkle, I've had fun today. I thank thee for thy help." "It's my pleasure. I don't think being locked up all day reading about magical paint will really help my own health and social skills." "Oh you like magical paint? I could teach you if you'd like." Luna responded. "Whoa really?" Twilight asked anxiously. "Yea! Watch." Luna focused her energy through a nearby piece of glass. After about half a minute or so, a blob of colours appeared at the tip of her horn. She used them to draw on the park sidewalk, making a hopscotch board. "It's all in the focus really." She noted. "That's amazing!" Twilight said dazzled. "I assure you it's nothing. Especially compared to what a powerful unicorn like you could do." "Oh stop." "No really! My sister has told me lots about you. She thinks eventually you'll surpass even us in magical capabilities." Luna then leaned in real close to her ear and whispered, "And after reading some of what you've done and your friendship reports, I think you could be this Utopia's next top pony.Heh heh..Just saying.." "Really?" She asked, "I don't really ever see myself as anything big like a ruler or Canterlot Noble." "Yet you are both of those things." "Am I now?" "Well the second it rather obvious from your cultural background, but as for a ruler. I wouldn't exactly say ruler but perhaps a leader is a better fit?" "I guess I've taken charge a couple times.." "And they've turned out splendid! I think you're a very powerful, smart,(maybe even a little omniscient, too.)" "Well thank you. It means a lot from such a great pony like a princess." "Well thank you for thrice now helping me when I needed it." "Oh it's nothing." "Anyway, I do think I shall head back to Canterlot Castle. Around now I have to get to work." "We'll hang out again tomorrow then?" "Yes.Hang out.." She studied the term, "We shall do so. Perhaps sometime you can even join me at work." "That sounds pleasant." "Sounds." Luna and Twilight chuckled together as friends. After Luna departed, Twilight left for home to tend to her job as well, leaving Spike to head to the CMC clubhouse from where he sat with Applebloom on the opposite bench to Twilight's on the other side of the old park tree. Buy Some Apples, SPIKE"Come on, Spike, just try one!" Applebloom pleaded. "No! They're disgusting and full of worms, no doubt!" He said crossing his arms. "Oh come on!" She said, "That's an apple stereotype!" "Your family or the so called 'fruit?' " He snickered. Applebloom slugged Spike in the arm, "TRY.ONE." "Again, family or fruit?" "I'm going to hit you, Spike." "I don't. Like. APPLES." He hissed. "BUY.SOME.APPLES.SPIKE." Applebloom tackled Spike down. Slugging him hard, she whined. "Buysomeapples, buysomeapples, BUYSOMEAPPLES." "You're insaaaaaaaaane!" Twilight sat in her room, nomming a peanut butter sandwich. "NOM, NOM, NOM, NOM, NOM." She went. "I won't even ask why you're doing that as you chew.." Spike said entering the room and collapsing to the ground. "Because nom!" Twilight hissed. "Is EVERYPONY insane today?" He asked. "Sorry, Spike, but since Luna asked about social skills, I checked out a book on the modern pony's social life." "You...Checked out..A book." "Yeah, why would I not?" She asked quizzically. "Because..We live.. IN a library." Twilight stared at him blankly. "Well-" "No excuses." He said raising a claw. "So...How did your date go?" "I ate..Some Celestia-Damned...APPLES, godammit!" "I hope that's literal." "So do I.." "WHAT?!" "What did you say?" "What did YOU say!" "I have NO IDEA.." Spike finally passed out with a loud THUD. "Spike, answer me!!!" Luna sat atop her chair inside her room in the Canterlot Castle. She hummed quietly as she flipped open the journal. Twilight had advised she keep a diary in which to talk about how she felt, proclaiming it would help her let out any anger or secrets. That it would help liberate her of any stress or distractions. Tia concurred, revealing she too kept a diary. So, Luna propped open the book and nabbed her quill. She made a frown, unsure of what to write. She decided to ask Tia. Pulling up some parchment, she wrote: Tia, I don't know what to write! :C ,Luna She giggled at the little face that appeared when one wrote an assembly of letters and symbols as such. Sending off the letter, she awaited a response. And a response she did get, and very quickly. Luna unfurled the letter and giggled at it's contents: How about you write on interrupting Royal Meetings? ':/ ,Celestia Luna quite enjoyed seeing the little faces and how they... How they allowed her to express herself! Luna instantly grabbed her quill and began writing away at her journal with joy. Dear Diary, Today I made Tia upset. :( She got all mad and made a face at me: ':/ I giggled but I felt bad for having interrupted a Royal Meeting. I'll apologize to her because Tia is my sister and I should respect her! :) I think I'll send her another letter. But maybe later when she isn't in a meeting X) See ya later, Diary! :D Luna quite enjoyed her new found childish personality. She figured being bottled up so much before had really taken toll. She decided to write to Twilight and let her know how she felt. Twilight paced the living room worrily. " I'm sure he was just joking...Probably tired, that's it! But why would he be tired...Unless he-! Oh this isn't helping." Twilight stared curiously at Spike whom had only moments ago passed out, tired. Suddenly he burped and a piece of paper stuck out of his mouth clumsily. She picked up and read: Dearest Twilight, It is Luna. I wish to report to you a very recent social experience! As you advised, I have taken to a diary my feelings, and..It was fun! I quite enjoyed letting out my feelings in a more unprofessional way! I found it quite and entertaining and believe I shall report my feelings to these things accordingly. ,Luna Twilight smiled, seeing Luna had been able to find herself something to do. She nearly forgot what Spike said due to the giddiness of her success! She pranced around happily and wrote about this victory in her own journal. Just as she did, Spike came to...
