CHAPTER TWO: A NEW ASSISTANT?!

It was late when Twilight Sparkle returned to the library with the sleeping baby dragon, who she tucked into bed while Sunrise Blossom put away the contents of the wagon in their proper places. The purple unicorn put him in his bed and she smiled as she tucked the blanket around his sleeping form.

"Goodnight, Spike," she said, giggling. "Sweet dreams, number one assistant."


Twilight Sparkle went downstairs and said goodbye to her twin, who advised her not to stay up too late to write her report, as she left. She then went to her desk to start writing her report, magically picking up the quill and sighed. "'The Study of Comets. Comets are small, irregularly shaped bodies that are made of nonvolatile grains and frozen gases. They…" She stopped writing when there was a creaking noise.

Putting down the quill, Twilight Sparkle went out onto the balcony, but she couldn't see anything. "Huh." She went back inside as a shadowy form flew past, and shut the window, but it didn't latch properly. Unaware of this, she went back to writing her report. "…have body structures that are fragile and diverse…" She paused when there was another creaking sound. This time she opened the window that was in front of her desk to peer out, and yelped when the wind blew her scroll off the desk.

Twilight Sparkle chased after it, but it went out the open window and out of sight. Frustrated, she went back inside, once again missing the flying shadow, which went after the scroll. "Shoot!" she complained, unsure of what to do. "Oh… This is a job for Spike. If only he were awake…"

"Hoo!"

Startled, Twilight Sparkle looked at her desk, surprised to see a brown/tan owl perched on it with the scroll in its' beak. The owl dropped the scroll and turned to leave. "Wait! Don't go!" she said, running over and the owl looked at her. "Don't be afraid. Thank you for returning my scroll."

"Hoo! Hoo!" said the owl in a way that seemed to say that he was grateful, and then the wind blew through the open window again, making his shiver. "Hoo-hoo."

"Gosh, it's cold tonight," Twilight Sparkle remarked, magically closing both windows to keep the wind out. "Say, would you like to relax in here and keep me company while I work?" she offered.

"Hoo! Hoo!" said the owl and he perched on the nearby hat stand.

Smiling, Twilight Sparkle magically picked up her quill and focused on the report. "Now, where was I? Oh, yes. "…fragile and diverse with a surrounding cloud of material called a coma, that grows in size and brightness as the comet approaches the sun…"


The next morning, Spike was still asleep and snoring when the sound of birds twittering outside woke him up. "Huh?" he wondered and saw the time on his alarm clock. "Waah! I overslept!" He jumped out of bed and raced down the stairs.


The baby dragon reached the second floor, where Twilight Sparkle was busy packing her saddlebags. "I know it's already ten, but I'm scaly-tailed and bright-eyed and ready to work twice as fast!" he announced. "Oh please, don't be upset, Twilight! And what do you want for breakfast? Oatmeal? How about a sunflower smoothie? Grass pancakes?"

"Spike, don't worry," said Twilight Sparkle reassuringly. "I'm going to be having breakfast with Sunrise in a little bit."

"But my morning chores…" the baby dragon began frantically.

"It's okay," said the purple unicorn. "Owlowiscious did them for you."

Spike blinked, confused. "Who?"

"He's our new junior assistant," Twilight Sparkle explained, finishing the packing of her bags. "He's gonna help out with your chores so you won't be so tired all the time," she added while making sure that she had everything.

"Wha… Wh… What do we need a junior assistant for?" Spike asked indignantly. "I'm not tired. I do fine on my own. I don't need sleep, I…"

"Spike, don't worry," said the purple unicorn reassured him once again. "He's just here to help out a little. Now, I have to go out, so why don't you introduce yourself to Owlowiscious? He's in the library."

"Worried?" the baby dragon repeated as she left. "Do I look worried? I'm not worried. Who's worried?"

Descending the stairs to the main floor, Spike looked around for Owlowiscious. "Hello? Hellooo!" he called out and spotted the owl that was sitting on the desk. He was startled when the bird turned its head completely around to look at him. "Whoa! Dude, that's creepy," he muttered before greeting the owl. "Uh… Hi there! I'm Spike. I'm sure Twilight has told you all about me."

"Hoo," said Owlowiscious.

"Uh, Spike?" said the baby dragon, confused to be asked the question. "You know, assistant number one?"

The owl blinked. "Hoo?"

"I'm Spike!" Spike repeated, annoyed. "And who are you? What are you?"

"Hoo!"

"Who?"

"Hoo!"

"I thought your name was Owlowiscious!"

"Hoo?"

Spike growled a little, fed up. "Okay, "Who", "Owlowiscious", whatever," he grumbled. "I'm Spike, okay? Look! All you need to know is that I'm number one and you're number two. Got it?" And he fixed the owl with a stern look.

"Hoo?" said Owlowiscious.

"So, a man of mystery, huh?" Spike sneered as he headed for the door to go outside. "I'm keeping my eye on you! I've got eyes in the back of my head too, you know?" He was so focused on the owl that he crashed into the door, and he rubbed his sore head. "Well, not really, but… You know what I mean!" He then went outside, slamming the door shut.


Once outside, the baby dragon glanced at the owl through one of the windows. "That bird is out for my job," he grumbled. "He wants to be number one. I'll prove to Twilight that I deserve to be number one. Not Freaky Feathers over there. I won't let him have my job if it's the last thing I do!" And he went on his way, unaware that Owlowiscious was watching him through the window.


A/N: Uh oh, looks like Spike is jealous! R&R everyone!
