This is my first fanfiction ever, but I wanted to give it a try. Been inspired by many amazing fanfics! I decided to not be that extreme in the start, so not much movement in this chapter. Oh, by the way, I'm writing about them as humans. Or something like it. (I'm also Norwegian, so my English may not be the best!) Enjoy! ~


"Twilight!"

With a moan she opened up her purple eyes. She had to blink with them several times, with a faint hope of waking up. It was simply too early, so there was no other hope than a cup of warm coffee. That had to be the answer.

"Twilight Sparkle!"

She had a hard time rising up from bed, but even she could manage such a task. At the very moment her two bare feet were standing on the floor, she could feel the chills down her back. She bit her own lip, trying not to say a word about it.

"I'm coming down, Spike," she assured her assistant. "But why all this ruckus?"

She heard him laugh from downstairs, which made her even more curious. With some kind of a grimace she started walking towards the stairs, afterwards down it. She had to grab on to the fence due to her sleepiness, but that couldn't be helped. Better to be safe than not. The thing she didn't consider was that she was still in her nightgown – but Spike wouldn't mind. He never cared about such things. She never did either.

"Oh, I just wanted to let you know that Pinkie Pie dropped by earlier. Rambling about some new party she was throwing. Everypony was invited. And it's quite late at the morning, so I thought it was a good idea waking you up," he almost hummed, while making breakfast for them both. "It was, wasn't it?"

He turned his head towards her, and gave her a gentle smile.

"Of course, Spike – thanks," she smiled just as gentle as him, before she dared to go into the kitchen. Spike was too concentrated on his work that he almost didn't notice her, and she was kind of glad for it. After all, she had to look like a mess. She couldn't remember last time she had been this sleepy.

"The books," she managed to mumble.

"I've cleaned them up already. You really studied for a long time last night, you know. You shouldn't work so hard!"

"But I have to catch up on my studying, after spending so much time with my friends and so on," she excused herself, and sat down on one of the kitchen chairs. She hadn't even got her wand out for the day. It was really unlike her, but her friends were more important than her studying. She could catch up with studying, after all – but not her friends.

"You seem to think quite a lot," Spike teased, letting a grin take place in the friendly face of his. The green hair had gotten longer the last weeks, and his eyes were gleaming. He seemed pleased with the changes.

"Well, that's a big shocker," she said in a sarcastic tone, which made him laugh a little. Twilight had to join him for a second or two, before she yawned.

"You sure are tired," he managed to say, slightly more worried. He put a plate in front of her, before he went to get something to drink. Twilight Sparkle glanced down at her own breakfast. Vegetables. Delicious.

"It looks lovely as always, Spike," she complimented, and smiled slightly when he looked at her from over his shoulder. He grinned, pleased with the remark, and continued to look after something to drink. He ended up with just two glasses of water. He didn't seem too happy about it, but stayed focused. After all, he had to be in a great mood because of the gems he had managed to get his hands on. Twilight could already imagine him eaten them all whole.

"You'll meet up with the others later, I guess?" he mumbled as he began eating on one of his gems, looking at her at the same time. She smiled, suddenly a bit insecure.

"Think so. As usual," she finished, starting at her own breakfast. Spike sighed, and in a few moments he was already done with his gems. He sure was fast.

She couldn't help it, she felt bad about leaving him alone – again.

"Why won't you come with me? I'm sure somepony would be happy to see you," she said, hoping to get some kind of reaction. It didn't even take a second.

"I'd love to!" he almost screamed, making sure the student got a slight headache. She put a hand against her forehead, mumbling to herself.

"I'm sorry," he grinned innocently, but she could see a little guilt in those green eyes of his. Emeralds. That's how everypony described them.

"It's alright," she said, and smiled half-heartedly. Then she stood up. "I'm going to get ready to meet the others. See you in a bit."

Spike watched her as she went up the stairs again and into the bathroom. He could hear her sing to herself, and her voice was as always nice to listen to. She had a beautiful one, though she never wanted to accept the compliments she got.
For him it didn't matter. As long she never stopped singing.
~~

Twilight Sparkle brushed her hair with closed eyes, and sang her heart out while she stood in front of the mirror. She had taken off her nightgown and swapped it with a pair of pants and a sweater, which Rarity sure didn't like very much. But it was her favourite. Long before she even moved to Ponyville. Maybe she didn't like it because of the motives? Yes, it had to be it.

She couldn't help laughing about it. Rarity always made an unhappy face whenever she took a moment to look at her clothes. But she grew used to it. Just like she grew used to her and Spike.

"Twilight! Are you done yet?"

She had to laugh a little more. She knew he wanted to meet Rarity as soon as possible. He had gone some days since last time. Too long, she would guess – for him, anyways.

"Of course I am! Just let me get my wand, and I'll be down in a second!" she answered cheerfully, finally awake. She almost ran towards her bed, and looked for the wand she held so dear to her.

"There you are," she happily said when finding it safe under her pillow. "Alright, I'm coming!"

Spike opened up the door for her as she reached to last step of the stairs, and she went out with a grateful smile in her face. When the sun let its sunbeams touch their faces her smile grew even wider. It was a beautiful day! She loved it when the sun gleamed like this, though she loved when it was raining as well. It used to be the perfect time to read. Usually.

"Sugarcube corner?" Spike asked the purple-eyed student, who gave him a nod. It was typical the others to end up there. She couldn't deny she loved the sweets the married couple made, though…
~~

"Oh, Twilight Sparkle!" a voice sang, and it wasn't hard to figure who was responsible for it. With just a look around the place she spotted both Rarity and Fluttershy, sitting by one of the tables in the corner of the shop. Rarity waved at them with a blending smile, while Fluttershy offered a somewhat gentler smile. Both seemed happy to see them, at least.

"Why, won't you be a dear and come sit with us?" the diva suggested. Spike looked at Twilight with begging eyes, which made her roll her own.

"Thanks, Rarity," she smiled, walking over to them. She sat down beside Fluttershy, while little Casanova took place beside his crush.

"We just arrived ourselves," Rarity started to explain. "The other girls should be here in any minute, now."

"Yes, I'm sure they will drop by," Fluttershy gently agreed, with a matching smile.

Spike sighed happily when looking at Rarity, but the lady herself didn't take notice. Only the two others, and they both started to giggle to themselves.

"Here you go," Mrs Cake declared when she came walking towards them, carrying a huge plate with the most delicious muffins one could imagine. She put it on the table with a nod and a smile, then leaving them alone.

Rarity was about taking her first, but dropped it onto the plate again when a loud laugher filled the whole local. It reminded of bubbling water – or soda. Probably the last one.

"Hi Twilight! Hi Fluttershy! Hi Rarity! And hiiii Spike!" Pinkie Pie laughed loudly as she sat down by the table. There was a huge grin in her face, and all in all she looked like a huge, pink gumball.

"Hi, Pinkie Pie," Twilight said with a gentle laugher, while Fluttershy only greeted her friend with a smile. Rarity was to busy to keep the muffins away from her dress to notice her bubbly friend. "Working today?"

"Oh, I'm just baking cookies! And cakes! And making candy! I love candy…" She laughed before continuing. "Gotta prepare for the super-duper-party later this week! Everypony is invited, so it gotta be BIG! Balloons, music, dancing, a lot of new friends – I caaaan't wait!"

Spike, who finally was able to take his gaze away from Rarity looked at Pinkie with his head slightly leaning to the side.

"Special reason for you to throw one?" he asked, honestly curious.

"No, I just want a party!" Pinkie giggled, and stole one of the muffins on the plate. Not that anyone would mind. "Mmmm, tastes like a candy rainbow!"

"Yes, 'cause I heard the real one didn't amuse you at all," Spike said without thinking over it, and that kept the girl busy talking.

"It tasted so WEIRD! I can't believe a rainbow can taste so bad! I mean, with all the colours and the glitter and the rain and the sunbeams and… And…"

"And it is a natural thing, so don't you worry," Twilight assured her with some kind of a smile, while looking at Spike with a silent warning. He understood her message, and returned to the food in front of him. Twilight was almost sure that he looked for a gem amongst the muffins. Sadly, there was no one in sight.

Pinkie Pie didn't stop talking, even though she tried to get her silent for only a couple of seconds, but to no use. Therefore she sat down with a hopeless smile, and glanced at the window. Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were already starting a long conversation, but Twilight couldn't quite catch what they were talking about. Only that Applejack and Rainbow Dash hadn't made it because of work. Besides that, she found the ponies outside more interesting at the moment. She didn't know why, she just… Felt tired. She had been so awake for only a couple of minutes, and therefore she couldn't quite grasp why she felt so tired. Again.

Twilight suddenly heard a low noise, one that none of her friends noticed. She turned around, and when she saw the cup of tea on the edge of falling of the table she didn't think twice before jumping forward. Rarity screamed by mere shock, while Fluttershy gasped and Pinkie Pie tried to hold back her laughter.

Twilight felt happiness and relief rush through her when she held the cup in her hands, but realized something important.

The floor.

She closed her eyes when she was just about falling on it, but instead she fell on something – or somepony. Even though some helped her, she lost the cup and got a massive portion of tea on her clothes. Her favourite ones!

"My dears! Are you both alright?"

Twilight Sparkle opened up her eyes slightly, still a bit dizzy, but her vision was clear when she met the eyes of her number one assistant.

"I think so," Spike answered for them both, with a little grin. He seemed to be a little red in his face as well, but she couldn't see any tea on his clothes.

"Yes," Twilight agreed, while her own face blushed a bit. She was so clumsy!

"Oh, why, thank you," Rarity said as soon as they were standing on their feet again.

"You're so clumsy, Twilight!" Pinkie Pie giggled, making Twilight blush some more by the thought of her falling like that. It was a childish thing to do, just jumping forward, thinking she could save the day by grabbing a cup of tea…

"Oh, I'm sure Twilight only wanted to make sure none got hurt by the warm tea," the gentle voice of Fluttershy defended, but with a shyly smile.

"Yes, she's indeed caring – oh dear Celestia, what have happened to your clothes!" Rarity gasped, suddenly holding Twilight arms while staring at her sweater. "You've destroyed them! You can't walk around in this!"

Twilight Sparkle tried to force a smile to appear in her face.

"I'll go home and change, so no worries," she explained, but the fashionista shocked her head while looking at Spike.

"Ide-e-a!" Rarity suddenly exclaimed. "Come on, darlings! We will get Twilight some new clothes. We will see you two later, alright, Fluttershy?" The shy girl nodded, and her pink hair hid one of her eyes. She was probably blushing as she always used to do.

"See you later, alligator!" Pinkie Pie laughed as the three of them went out of Sugarcube corner, making Twilight slightly worried.
She would for sure get dressed up by Rarity.
