Spark

CHAPTER 2

Creative Spark woke up the next morning with Twilight facing him, she was still fast asleep. Creative Spark smiled then kissed her. He got out of bed, careful not to wake Twilight in the process, and went out onto the library’s balcony to watch the sunrise. Princess Celestia had made today’s sunrise more beautiful than any other Creative Spark thought, the only thing that would have made this moment better would be if Twilight was standing right next to him. Creative Spark thought about going to wake her up, but decided against it, he figured that she would probably appreciate her sleep than a sunrise, especially after the excitement of the party last night. Creative Spark went back inside headed to the kitchen to make his favorite morning drink, caffeinated hot cocoa, he started every morning with a cup of it. Pinkie Pie had created this drink just for him since he didn’t drink coffee, he just couldn’t get past the slightly bitter taste of it without using an unhealthy amount of flavored creamer. He had told Pinkie about this dilemma, because she obviously knew how to perk herself up in the morning, and Pinkie had begun making all sorts of energy boosting refreshments for him to try each morning. Some of the drinks Pinkie had concocted either didn’t work enough, or worked a little too well causing him to jittery, anxious, or even as hyper as the pink mare herself. When Creative Spark got to the caffeinated hot chocolate however he didn't have any strange reactions, he just felt the way he wanted to, awake and focused, so now he a cup of it every morning. Once Creative Spark had his mug of cocoa, he went back out on the balcony and sat down looking out at the sunrise.

Sometime later, Creative Spark went back inside and began making breakfast for Twilight, Spike, and himself. During his time at the library Creative Spark had made a mental note of what Twilight and Spike liked to have in the morning. Just then, Twilight walked into the kitchen.

“Good morning, Twilight.” Creative Spark said cheerfully.

Twilight looked at him tiredly but smiled, “Good morning, are you making breakfast?” she asked before letting out a yawn.

“Yep, is there anything special that you’d like me to make?” Creative Spark asked.

Twilight seemed to think about it before replying, “No, whatever you make will be fine.” she said before walking over to the kitchen table to sit down.

Creative Spark went back to making their breakfast.

***

After eleven o'clock, Twilight and Creative Spark went down into the basement to work on Creative Spark’s newest invention.

“Well, here it is.” Creative Spark said gesturing to the device on his work desk.

“What is it?” Twilight asked curiously tilting her head to one side.

Creative Spark smiled, “Let me show you.” he said taking the device and strapping the device to his left foreleg, pressing a button to power it up. “Alright now it should work, Twilight I need you to shoot at me with a blast spell.” Creative Spark said.

“What, are you crazy?! That could seriously injure you...!” Twilight exclaimed, but before she could finish her statement Creative Spark walked over to Twilight and gave her a kiss right on the lips.

“Hey, I’ll be fine trust me, I Pinkie Promise that I won’t get hurt.” he said giving one of signature reassuring smirks.

Twilight still looked unsure about it but she eventually gave up and sighed, “Alright, but if anything goes wrong it’s your own fault.” she said matter-of-factly.

Creative Spark backed up to the wall, “OK, fire when ready Twilight.” he said confidently.

Twilight gulped, and then began to gather energy for a blast spell, when she had it ready she released the spell.

As the spell came closer to Creative Spark, he hit a button that created a shield of energy, Twilight’s spell hit the shield with some force and then disappeared as it was absorbed by the shield.

"Wha-what happened, my spell... it's just... gone!" Twilight exclaimed with a look of complete shock on her face.

"Exactly, my device did precisely what I was hoping for, the shield's energy can absorb the power effects of a magic spell, now watch what I can do with it." Creative Spark said with a smirk.

Creative Spark turned towards the back wall of the basement where there was target board on the wall pointing the device at it, he pressed one of the other buttons on the device. As he hit the button a beam of energy shot out from it hitting the target board, destroying it.

"Wow!" Twilight exclaimed.

Creative smirked with a look of satisfaction, "Bull's eye." he said proudly.

Twilight ran over to Creative Spark and threw her forelegs around him, "It work's, it really works!" Twilight shouted excitedly then kissed Creative Spark on the cheek.

"Of course it works; I designed and built it." Creative Spark said laughing.

***

Twilight and Creative Spark decided to go out on a picnic at the same spot they had gone to the night before.

"Oh my, it's even more beautiful here during the day." Twilight said admiring the flora around them.

"Yes it is, I often come up here to think, study, or relax." Creative Spark replied.

"I can see why, it's so beautiful and peaceful here." Twilight said.

Creative Spark laid out the picnic on flat area and set everything out.

***

"This was nice." Twilight said after finishing the last of her daffodil and daisy sandwich.

"I thought you'd like it." Creative Spark said with a smile as he was laying down on his back with his forelegs behind his head, wings spread out, and his eyes closed.

Twilight went over to Creative Spark and laid down beside him. The two ponies were blissfully unaware that they were being watched.
