A change in Life
Waking up Past Noon.
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"Twilight!" Spike shouted, waking the alicorn from her sleep.
"Oh....good morning Spike...."
"Good morning? haha!, morning was 2 hours ago its two in the afternoon Twi" Spike stated, showing Twilight his wrist watch's time.
"Where did you even get that?"
"Pinkie Pie gave it to me"
"Of course"
Twilight forced herself out of bed, using her magic to pull the blankets over the mattress till she was satisfied with her job. She proceeded downstairs before realization hit her which brought a wicked smile to Spikes face, surprised it took her that long to realize. "My schedule! aaagh!! how could I have forgotten! Spike you didn't wake me up!" complained the alicorn, annoyance clear in her tone. How could she had slept for 17 hours?! it did not make sense to her!. She stomped her hooves and batted her wings as she scolded herself.
"Again with this? Twilight its not like I didn't try, you were practically brick, I even tried splashing water in your face and all you did was mumble something that was incomprehensible" the baby dragon explained, an unamused expression on his face.
Twilight sighed, now she would have to adjust her schedule for today and then adjust her schedule for tomorrow and the day after and the day after etc. She had been an alicorn for only a week and since her coronation her life of studying had not changed at all. Her friends and herself were expected to see princess Celestia and princess Luna in a weeks time and until then Celestia had requested her to improve her flying.
"Hey Twi, could you pick up my prescription at the hospital for me?" Spike wondered as he picked a book up from the table. Spike had suffered from a fall the previous week, he had landed on his tail which now was in a cast, preventing the limbs movement. It was not serious but the doctor had prescribed pain medication to the baby dragon.
"I don't see why not, I'm already hours and hours behind schedule" responded Twilight, her voice filled with slight annoyance to herself.
"Thank you Twi" Spike said, expressing his gratitude while he opened his book.
"Not a problem, I want those books we got from Cloudsdale on the shelf by the time I get back, got it?" Twilight asked as she opened the door, looking back to the baby dragon to see if he was still listening.
"Affirmative" Spike replied, his main focus on his book, not his friend. Twilight rolled her eyes before turning her head and proceeding out the door.
Twilight stepped out of the library and closed the door behind her. She took a deep breath of the fresh air and smiled at the sunny sky that shone on the daily life of Ponyville. Ponies talked to their friends, shopped in the market or galloped to and from their desired locations, a normal day. "Hey Twilight!" greeted Rainbow Dash from above. Looking up Twilight was met with the sight of her friend leaning over the edge of a cloud, a small smile on her face. Twilight smiled before spreading her wings and beginning to fly up to her friend, her wings causing her to shift left and right every few moments from the lack of practice.
Rainbow Dash moved over on the cloud to allow her friend to take a seat which she gladly accepted. "Clear skies?" Twilight asked rhetorically, though her friend answered it anyways.
"Yep we cleared the sky this morning, it was even more awesome than usual"
"What made it more awesome?" wondered Twilight before looking down at the ponies below. Amazing how only a week ago I was on the ground twenty four hours a day
"I cleared 7 clouds in 3 seconds!" exclaimed Rainbow with a boastful yet excited grin on her features.
"I've seen you clear a sky in 10 seconds flat" responded Twilight, unimpressed before Rainbow leaned back on the cloud.
"These were very big clouds Twi"
Twilight giggled at her friends ego. "I need to go to the hospital to pick up Spikes prescription, want to come along?"
"I got nothing else to do, even though a hospital is L.A.M.E, LAME" declared Dash.
"Then lets go"
"Right behind you"
The two winged ponies dove off the cloud and spread their wings before the two of them began flying towards the hospital. Rainbow Dash offering tips to the alicorn to fix her rhythm or recovery whenever she hit a unexpected gust of wind. In what normally would have been a 10 minute flight or a 30 minute gallop the two reached the hospital in 20 due to the lack of practice Twilight had with her new limbs.
"I'm glad to see how useful these things are" Twilight expressed before Dash giggled
"Duh!, Pegasi are awesome!" declared Rainbow, receiving a roll of the eyes from twilight
"Princess Twilight Sparkle!, welcome!" greeted a nurse before everyone in front of the two mares hit the ground and bowed. Twilight sighed. This was what annoyed her over everything else; everywhere she went she was treated like royalty, its true she was just that, but she missed the time where everyone just saw her as her, not a princess. She rarely had to pay for anything anymore and she couldn't socialize without the pony she was talking with agreeing with everything she said in an attempt to suck up to her.
"Uh.....well Twi that's different" commented her friend which brought a glare filled with annoyance from the alicorn
"I am here to pick up Spike's....." began Twilight but was stopped mid sentence by a doctor handing her a pill bottle full of medication. "Never mind....."
The two mares exited the hospital and Twilight growled with annoyance. "Doesn't anyone realize its still me, Twilight Sparkle?!" Twilight rhetorically asked no one in particular.
"Well theirs Luna, Celestia, Cadence, your brother, me....." began Rainbow but was cut off by her friend.
"I know you guys do Rainbow!, I am talking about the normal ponies of Ponyville. If I go somewhere everyone turns their attention to me, if I try to start a conversation it plummets into the ground because no one will disagree with me!" Twilight ranted to her friend who hovered beside her, listening to her friends current conflict.
"Listen it may be bad, but eh it could be worse. You could be hated like the changelings or feared like Sombra, Heck you could even be insane like Discord Twi but your not, princess Celestia and Luna have dealt with this problem for years. In a few months when I get my reply from the Wonderbolts and they accept me I will have the same problem as you. What I think you should do is send a letter to Celestia tonight asking for advice, They know more than anypony about this category" Rainbow explained to her friend which brought a smile to Twilight's features. Why didn't I think about that?
"Thanks Dash" Twilight thanked her friend who gave a nod and a smile before Twilight spread her wings and began flying back towards the library to give her dragon companion his pills and write the letter.
