It was a bright and sunny day in Ponyville, if not the Weather Patrol was sure to make it so. In a crystal castle, in a bedroom, that was not made completely out of crystal laid the princess of friendship.
Normally at this time of day Twilight would be up and eager to start the day, not to waste a single minute of her long and detailed scheduled ,but today Twilight was feeling a pent-up feeling of irritation building up inside.
Finally as expected her fateful assistant rushed through the doors of her bedroom looking anxious.
"Twilight, ohhh your still in bed" with a sigh of relief he casually walked to the bed "What are you doing still in bed? If you don't eat soon you're going to be late for the weekly friendship meeting. Actually, scratch that your going your going to be late anyway if you don't walk in soon" It wasn't like Twilight to stay in bed, even if was for only ten minutes.
Being awake all the time and finally getting out of the bed, Twilight released a deep sigh." It nothing Spike, I'm just reflecting on ... past events." she spoke with hesitation, not wanting her assistant to find the cause of her weird behavior. But to no avail, he knew something was up and possibly the cause.
"Hmmm, would your sour mood be the cause of a certain prank that a certain draconequus pulled on you" Spike said while giggling to himself. He looked to see the reaction of his best friend to find that it was exactly how he imagined it, not pleased.
"Spike I'm not mad about the prank, itself ugh. I'm not even mad at all." Twilight sigh. "I'm just ... upset on how easy I got fooled" Twilight sigh once again to restate that she was indeed in a bad mood. Thinking about it now, maybe she is a little mad, if not at all.
Yesterday and the day before marked the day Discord play a deceiving but still mildly devious prank on her. Causing her to get jealous of the weekend she couldn't enjoy with her friends together. It all got sorted out in the end with her expressing her true feeling to her friends, but that wasn't what was bugging her. It was the fact that she was played like a fiddle once again by the draconequus. Discord always made it a priority to mess with her at least once a month. The worst part about it is she never sees it coming.
"Why me," Twilight said out loud forgetting about Spike for a second.
"Why he only pick on you?" Spike answers her, basically reading her mind. "I would say it because…. you're an easy target... Yea."Spike says with confidence to reassure himself " Well your you, and you aren't the... wisest pony, all the time. And to top it all off, your a princess. " Spike list off" With that in mind your kinda the perfect target actually."
Twilight has now exited her room with Spike. She didn't do much to prep before the meeting since she knew she was going to be surrounded by friends. " I see, if you put it like that then it would make sense " Twilight said feeling a little better. " but that doesn't excuse the fact that it only me. I wish there was something that I could do about it."
Both Twilight and Spike walk through the hall for a moment in silence until Spike broke the ice. "Well the normal response to a prank is to prank the prankster"
"What ... no. That would be lowering myself to his standard. Not that I'm putting myself above him in any sort of way. But I'm the princess of friendship, I don't need to prank Discord to get back at him" Twilight said with a royal voice." Not that I want to get back at him …. not at all " Twilight said retracing her steps.
A small smirk started to form in Spike's mouth" Well it sounds like you're scared to prank Discord" Spike said with glee.
"Spike, I DON'T want to prank discord and that final"
"Alright if you say so" Spike decides to shrug it off and not to press the matter anymore. They already closing into the throne room anyway so they were going to close this conversation one way or another.
Before entering Twilight thought for a second. Spike provocation did bring up some thoughts of sweet calculated revenge for the purple alicorn pony, but could she even attempt to go against the bringer of chaos in a prank no least. The thought was absolutely ridiculous.
For the most part, Twilight thought it was no need. Discord pranks have been on a weird schedule of once a month. She picked up on it the last prank which included an apple pie full of exploding blueberry flavored confetti last month. This prank took a while being that it was on the 28th of May. So she knew she was safe at least until next month. But as always Discord broke all her logic and prediction once she entered the door.
Author notes: I want to first say that, yes this is my first fanfic. The first time I uploaded this was a mistake. It was around 3 in the morning and I didn't have the proper mindset. It had a lot of mistakes that I'm not proud of and probably still have many mistakes that I look over. I want to improve as much as possible so give me as MUCH FEEDBACK as possible. Is it to slow, not that funny, do you think a character shift unnaturally, please leave a review. I'm also am terrible at the English language so correct me if I'm wrong.
