Chapter 1 – Obsessive Curiosity
Author's Note: This is of course my first story, and will definitely need some refining as I am un-learned in the system of the program. Anyways, PLEASE tell me every mistake I have, and please keep in mind this story is going to turn darker later on (though I don't really want a grim dark).
To Twilight, it wan't an unusual night for the young purple unicorn, at least, she hoped it appeared that way. Once again, she was spending a night at her desk viciously studying. She sighed in despair as the page wielded nothing, again.
"No, No, No!" Twilight Sparkle said aloud in her frustration, using her magic to flip to another page. As she flipped, Spike walked in from behind her.
"Uh, Twilight, not wanting to bother you or anything... but... it's sort'a late." the dragon said, generally worried about the condition of Twilight. Spike was used to her studying, it wasn't unusual, but this time she seemed more stressed and anxious, and Spike could tell it was wearing her down. He really didn't want her to work herself over what she had to, even though she generally did.
"I know Spike, it's just it's really important! Though, thanks for trying to help. It's just... if I don't get this done then who know's what will happen! It could ruin everything! I just can't afford to let that happen!" Twilight answered, not hiding the fact she was anxious. Very anxious.
"Twilight, what exactly is it that's so important?" Spike was getting oddly curious over what was causing so much stress for her. Then again, a lot of things caused stress for Twilight. Still, he strained his head up to see what she was looking at.
Twilight snatched the book away, lifting it up with her magic. "I-I can't tell you. I'm sorry Spike, but I can't, I promised I would keep it a secret."
"To who?"
"Really Spike, I can't tell you. I wish I could of course, but I can't. A promise is a promise Spike, you know that." Twilight seemed to get more nervous as she talked, and attempted to push Spike away. Spike dodged her hoof, moving to the side, more curious then ever.
"Please, come on Twilight, I won't tell anyone! I promise!" Spike pleaded, getting on his knee's and shaking his hand's pleadingly at her. Twilight just shook her head, and looked away from Spike. Spike soon gave up, knowing it was really in vain, and looked around for something else to do.
'Finally I can get back to my studies' Twilight thought to herself, 'I hope Spike doesn't get curious again, that's the last thing I would need.' She continued to search in the book, and grunted in frustration every time she didn't find what she needed, oblivious to everything else. In her vicious studying she didn't realize the obvious fact, that unfortunately for her, Spike was getting quite obsessive over the whole deal, and was planning on getting that book somehow. He went to a nearby bookshelf, and pretended to be sorting books while he plotted how he was going to get his hands on that book. When Spike thought about it it was really quite simple. All he'd have to do was wait for Twilight to go to bed, and he could easily find the book... that is, IF she went to bed.
Looking over, he could tell she had worked herself into a total studying frenzy she would get while studying. Spike himself who in truth was rather lazy had never really understood why that happened, never studying much himself. However, he did know that when this happened she almost never did anything else until her studying was done. Spike could remember multiple occasions of when she became so obsessed with her work that she had stayed in her room for 3 days straight. As Spike knew, she hadn't eaten or slept the whole time.
'There must be another way' Spike plotted, pretending to sort books, 'I could snatch the book up right now... no, she'd hate me. I could put her to sleep with pills or something... definite no! Why would I want to see the book that bad, and where would I get pills? There has to be some way I can get that book...' Then it hit him, he knew that Twilight had to leave the house eventually, he could just stay back and get it then!
Spike smiled having made a plan, unaware of how easily he had let his obsessive curiosity get the best of him. Stretching his arms, he yawned.
"I think I'm going to bed," Spike yawned, "Twi-" he yawned again, "-light. Good night." Spike managed to get the last words out of his mouth before he yawned again. Slowly, Spike stumbled up the stairs, smiling, knowing he could satisfy his curiosity soon.
End of Chapter
Authors Note: Well, glad I got the first chapter done. Anyways, since this is my first story I'm not sure how this will look on the program, but I'm guessing this was a rather short chapter? Whatever.
