- >Your door shuddered under a barrage of hooves.
- >At least they didn't break it this time.
- >You set aside your book with a sigh and approach the door.
- >Almost certainly it'd be some pony here to bug you about some inane thing.
- >It always was.
- >You opened the door and got knocked aside immediately.
- >"WHERE IS HE?!"
- >The purple alicorn that barged into your house seemed a bit high strung.
- >Of course you knew exactly why she was high strung this time.
- "Twilight"
- >"WHERE?"
- >She dashed around your three room house, looking in corners, under tables, even in the fridge.
- "Twilight"
- >As she tries to dash past you to search the kitchen again you grab her tail, forcing her to stop.
- "He's not here Twilight"
- >And now you've got her full attention.
- >She rounded on you, eyes boring into yours.
- >"THEN WHERE IS HE?"
- >You just fold your arms and match her stare.
- "You are being very rude right now. Tone it down"
- >Your stares duel for a few moments before Twilight seems to deflate.
- >"I'm sorry... It's just that Spike hasn't been home for hours and I'm worried and I used a tracing spell to find that he came here but the spell went dead here"
- >She started pacing halfway through her speal.
- >And her ears were twitching in agitation.
- >No matter the situation, that was still adorable.
- >But now she was turning to you with big worried eyes.
- >"So can you tell me where he is, please?"
- >Oh, this was going to hurt your soul.
- "No"
- >It took a second for the word to process through her brain.
- >You could almost feel her click over from worry to worried anger.
- >"No?"
- "Wait Twilight!"
- >"Why not?!"
- "... I swore by the man code"
- >"... what."
- >You shrug, starting to feel discomfort from her stare.
- "Spike asked me not to tell anyone and I swore by the man code"
- >She looked at you incredulously before advancing towards you.
- >"Tell me where Spike is now."
- >You start backing away.
- >Maybe it was just the situation but her horn was looking a lot sharper than normal.
- "I can't Twilight, I swo-"
- >"Tell me!"
- >Your back hit the wall but the horn continued approaching.
- "I can't-"
- >"Tell m-"
- >"I found them Anon!"
- >Two heads swung around to the dirt-covered dragon at the door.
- >"Spike!"
- >"Twilight?"
- >The purple unicorn dived across the room, scooping up the dragon, leaving his bag behind him, and crushing him into a hug.
- >You relax and simply watch as Twilight sets him down and begins mothering him.
- >Rubbing at patches of dirt, pulling twigs from his spines, and embarrassing him in general.
- >You'd be sure to needle at Spike later about this.
- >After a minute of this you cough loudly, getting Twilight's attention again.
- "So, I imagine that you're done yelling?"
- >She blushes heavily.
- >"I'm sorry. He's just still so young and I was worried"
- >"I'm not that young!"
- >Spike waves Twilight's hooves off before scampering over to you, gesturing at you to bend over so he could whisper.
- >"I found some, but it needs to be a surprise, don't tell anyone!"
- "I swear by the man code"
- >With two wide grins you fistbump and draw your arms back in an explosion gesture.
- >Twilight just looks on in bemusement.
- >You straighten again and look to Twilight.
- "So, am I still invited to the book club next Tuesday?"
- >"Yes. I'm really sorry for how I acted. I'll find a way to make it up to you, but for now I've got a dirty dragon that needs to take a bath"
- >You laugh as you watch spike dragged away with magic, bemoaning his fate.
- >After they left you go over and pick up the bag Spike had left.
- >It was too risky to leave it around Twilight, she'd be certain to discover it.
- >You smile as you pull out an amethyst.
- END.
