Spike Meets Crosswise

The next day, Twilight Sparkle and Spike were out on their morning walk. "Nice day today, Twilight?" Spike said. "Right you are," Twilight Sparkle agreed. "Oh, hold on a minute," said Spike. He looked at his tail and saw that one of the ants they've run into had hitchhiked onto Spike tail.

Fortunately, Spike plucked the ant and tossed it outside. "I don't get it," said Twilight Sparkle. And the two continued with their morning walk.

Soon enough, they came across a unicorn pony whom they had never met. "Hello, mister," said Twilight Sparkle. "Hi there," the unicorn said in a polite tone of voice.

"Pleased to meet you," said Spike, "I'm Spike and this is my pony, Twilight Sparkle." "Ok," Twilight Sparkle said, "We'll go with that." "And my name is Crosswise," the unicorn said. "Nice to meet you, Crosswise," said Twilight Sparkle. "Yep," said Crosswise, "A surprise that I've run into you two."

"Right," Twilight Sparkle agreed, "What a surprise." "Could we take a short break?" Spike asked, "I would like to talk to Crosswise." "All right," Twilight Sparkle agreed, "Go on ahead."

And so, both Spike and Crosswise started talking to each other while Twilight Sparkle practice some of her magic in an open field. "So, Crosswise," said Spike, "You enjoy walking around here during the morning hours?"

"Sure," Crosswise answered, "I love it! I got up early in the morning, almost before Princess Celestia raises the sun, maybe after she lowered the moon." "Yeah," Spike agreed, "Twilight sparkle is her student." "Really? Crosswise asked.

"Yep," Spike answered, "And I'm her assistant." "Wow," said Crosswise. "Twilight Sparke is more into studying and practicing her magic," Spike explained, "Rather than hanging out with her friends. If she has any."

"Oh, I feel sorry for her then," said Crosswise. "It's her choice," said Spike, "She'll figure it out on her own one day." "I see," said Crosswise, "I hope the best for her." "Yes," Spike said. "Right now," said Crosswise, "I have a few friends. But I hope to find a girlfriend soon."

"All right then," said Spike, "I wish you good luck on that." "Yes, I know," said Crosswise, "I hope so. Now I must get back to my walk now." "Well then," said Spike, "Crosswise, it was nice knowing you." "Me too," said Crosswise, "Hope we meet each other again soon."

"We will," said Spike, "See ya later." "Bye!" said Crosswise as he continued on. "Bye!" Spike called out. Soon, Twilight Sparkle walked up to Spike. "Did you enjoy your talk?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Sure did," Spike answered, "And he is friendly. You should make some friends, Twilight." "Maybe," Twilight Sparkle replied, "Now let's continued on with our walk." "All right," Spike said and the two continued walking.

"I hope you make friends," Spike said quietly as he followed Twilight Sparkle, "Soon."
