While in the transport and finally out of Canterlot Dusk sat silent still moody what the princess made him do. Spike on the other hand tried to cheer him by telling him the princess has arranged for him to live in the towns old library. Which did left his spirits but not by much. And Spike told him it was not the end of the world. Not yet. Dusk thought. As they got close to the town Spike saw someone flying doing aerial stunts not too far from the transport. Hey big bro check this out some girl is performing aerial acrobatic stunts. Not now Spike. Dusk said in annoyed tone. As all he wanted to do after they land was to get the Princesses tasks complete before he had to prepare for the on coming dark prophecy. Amazing Spike said as the flying girl performed her stunts however, while preforming she was getting closer and closer to the transport until finally a sudden hard bump was felt inside catching Dusk's attention before hearing the flying girl say. Sorry. Unfortunately this irritated Dusk even further and longed to be back in his home town of Cantorlot. Looking out Dusk did see the girl but didn't get a good look at her face. As they finally landed and after getting out his feet to touch the soil of the small town both Dusk and Spike were informed by their pilot that there belongings will be unloaded and packed at the Golden Oak library where two of them will staying,before taking off. In the towns square Dusk and Spike looked around and saw people setting up decorations for the upcoming celebration. Looks like everyone's really looking forward to this year's celebration . Spike told his brother. Or… Dusk told his assistant. There just excited to hear that the Princess is coming tonight no one really cares about the celebration or the activities. Hearing that Spike sighed. And speaking of which. Dusk added. What are the task she wants us to do first? Getting out the scroll Spike read. Check on the food at Sweet apple acres. Alright but wheres is it?Dusk asked his adopted sibling. Shrugging his shoulders Spike pointed to a girl who close by who didn't seem to be doing anything. Go on big bro insisted. Ask her for directions. Sighing because he really didn't want anything to do with this town or its people but,he wanted to get the Princess tasks done as quickly as possible. The girl though the one Spike wanted Dusk to ask directions was dressed in a crazy fashion. As she wore short blue overalls,along with a pink top,two brown figureless gloves,with matching knee length boots, and stockings, though both were pink,and had colors yellow and blue, but one had stripes and the other polkadots. and her long pink and excuse me. Dusk tapped the girl on the shoulder. Getting her attention she spun around with a smile,and seeing her from the front she had blue eyes,and unexpectedly she had big… features that made Dusk himself blush however breifly. Clearing his throat he said. Greetings I am Dusk Shine me and my assistant are from Canterlot and…. Before he could finish the girl grabbed his head and screamed before running off. Hey! What that all about? Spike asked his older brother. What did you do? Spike asked with a suspicious. Hearing the scream and seeing the girl running off. Nothing. Dusk answered. she just grabbed my head screamed and ran off. I think she's one of the crazies in this town so stick close. While looking around for someone else who knows where Sweet Apple Acres. Spike asked his brother if he knew why they the town they were in was named Ponyville. I think they called it that because the early settlers used to breed those small horses. Dusk answered. Oh. Spike why? That I have no idea. Just than Spike spotted someone who didn't look busy. Hey bro look over she doesn't seem to be doing anything. Again it was anther female but unlike the previous one her outfit seemed normal and again, Dusk could only see her from back,but Dusk couldn't help but feel he knew this girl due to her minted green hair. Excuse me. Dusk said to the unknown girl. Turning around Dusk saw the girl's face and with that his pupils widen making it clear he definitely knew this girl. Dusk? She said. Lyra? Dusk said as his face turned to sheer terror. What are you doing here? I never thought that I would see you in a place like this. She asked him. Though obviously uncomfortable her presence, Dusk managed to straighten himself out before talking to her. I'm here by order of Princess Celestia. Spike and I are tasked of making sure everything in the celebration is running smoothly. I see. Lyra said. Well I've been helping out with theme of the celebration myself,plus I'm looking for the Elder gods. Elders gods? Spike said. Yeah you remember don't you Dusk. Y..y Yes I remember you mentioning them once. Yeah the Elder gods were beings that came to this the world 40,000 thousands years she told Spike. And I've heard from the locals that a mysterious person is living in the forest nearby. Who would want to live in the forest? Spike asked Dusk. shrugging his shoulders he said. Probably someone who can't afford basic living. Yeah but… Lyra told them. Some of the Locals say that this person is probably not from around here or even in Equestria. So there's a good chance she knows everything about the Elders gods and their secrets. As she started licking her lips profusely while rubbing her hands. While in this state Dusk grabbed his assistant and ran as fast as he could. Once out of sight of Lyra Dusk put his assistant down as tried to catch his breath. Say big bro. Spike started to ask him. How do you know that girl? After catching a little bit of his breath. Dusk answered. me and Lydia were in the same class back in the Academy. We studied mysterious creatures but.. well you saw how she is. Well was she as bad as that… Don't say it. Dusk told him in a stern voice. And if mentioned that to anyone I will eradicate you. After all I brought to this world from an egg and I can most definitely take you out it. Understand?! With a nod Spike shook his head yes. Good let's keep looking around to see who can help us with directions to that place we're suppose go. Unfortunately for the brothers everyone in town was too busy to tell them the location of where they were suppose go. Well this is just great. Dusk complained. We need to know where Sweet Apple Acres is and everyone is too busy and we're running low on time. He sighed. Just than a female voice said. Oh you guys are looking for Sweet Apple Acres? Turning around the duo saw a girl with a mix of pink and dark blue hair. answered to her. Well your destination lies over there. she pointed it's long walk. She continued. But If you guys are hungry I'm sure the family that runs the farm will be more than happy to give something to eat. Well thanks for showing where its at. You welcome. She what's your name ? Spike asked. My name is Bon Bon. And I have been living here for the past 5 years. I know this town may seem weird but after living in it for so long you kinda get used to it. So what's your name she asked the Canterlot emissary. My is Dusk. Me and Spike are here to check on the celebration activities then leaving to go back to our home town. Well it's nice meet you both of you but,like everyone else in this town on a day like this, I'm a little busy but..Most of the people here are just like those people on the farm there willing to help you you if there not too busy. So I see the both of you later. Thanks bye. Spike weave to her. That was nice of her. Said Spike. Well at least she was sane unlike the last two people we met. Told Dusk. Getting close their destination. Spike asked Dusk if he read the whole scroll sent by the princess. Well I only stopped reading once I got to the part where's Celestia told me she be sending to this town. Before I screamed in a Fury and rage. Why was there anything else she wants us to do? He asked his assistant. Well yeah sorta it's mostly about you. Said the imp. Celestia wanted you to do something more than just doing the activities on the list. And that is… Dusk wondered. Make some friends. After hearing that Dusk grip on his staff grew tight and the next thing Spike knew he was lying on the ground face flat in the dirt with a large bump on the back of his head. Getting up he groaned and said. I hate when gets like that. After walking few meters later both of them stop. Well here it is. Said Dusk. Yep this place. Confirmed Spike as they read the huge sign. Welcome to Sweet Apple acres
