Spike was shocked. In the last 5 minutes, he had been saved from falling books, discovered he had picked up a stalker at the Cake’s bakery, and became someponies first ever friend. Not too bad if he said so himself. He made a new friend, and she was willing to help him with his job. Of course he wouldn't blame her if she wanted to quit during it. Re-shelving was long and boring job after all. It used to go faster, but with Twilight’s job as a Princess, she had less time to help him.

Spike brought Pumpkin over to the big book on the table. "This is the log book, the first part has listed inside it the names of all the books in the Library." He then opened to book and flipped through it until he was in the middle. "The last part where all the books go and what shelve they’re supposed to be on."

"What kind of books are in the Library?" Pumpkin asked him as she looked at the pages and pages of words and numbers.

"Well, we have books on Equestrian history, geography and such. Adventure novels, romance books and other fiction. A few books about Dragons, Griffons and other species. A few about nature and how to grow gardens and take care of them. We have spell books for beginners, all the way up to advanced spellcasting. Honestly, the list goes on and on."

"Wow, and we have to sort them all?"

"Well, I have to. You’re free to go whenever you want."

"No!” Pumpkin stomped a hoof and shook her curly mane. “I’m your friend, and it wouldn't be nice to leave you where you could get hit in the face by more falling books."

Spike chuckled, "Thanks pal, now let’s get to work."

Pumpkin began taking books of the shelves, and Spike began looking through the log book and organizing the books in accordance to where they belonged. it took several, long hours… But they finished it.

"That took forever!" Pumpkin moaned as she flopped into a comfy chair, Spike sitting in one next to it.

"You think that was bad?" Spike chuckled. "Usually it takes a whole day"

"WHAT!?"

"Yeah, you just helped me not have to work for the next 5 hours." there was an long awkward silence before Spike said… "So what do you want to do?"

"Me?" Pumpkin blinked.

"Yes you,” Spike smiled. “We just spent the last 2 hours doing something I wanted to...or needed to do. So, what do you want to do?"

"Um....can I try one of the spells in the spell books?" She could tell immediately that this was something he would be happy to help with, his face lit up like a Hearth’s Warming tree,

"I'd love to show you some!" And with that they got up and they looked through the books they had on hand, which were a lot... Though they eventually settled on a tome for beginners.

"Oh this one looks easy." Pumpkin said as she looked over one particular spell.

"Try it," Spike said happily. Pumpkin’s horn lit up and She tried to cast the spell, but nothing happened.

"Aw, I guess it didn't wo—eep!" Pumpkin squeaked as water droplet hit her nose. She and Spike froze and slowly looked up, over head was a massive storm cloud.

"Uh oh…” They both said in unison, and with a loud boom of rolling thunder, It started pouring.

Twilight was exhausted, she had been in Canterlot all day and had only just gotten back… Well and truly missing her usual dinner time.

"Spike's probably already eaten without me," She sighed as she got to the castle. Only to find the door seemed to be bulging, and leaking water. "What the hay?" she asked as she moved to the side on the door and opened it, immediately, a huge wave of water joined the already wet ground and poured out until…

"Ye-ha!" Spike and Pumpkin both yelled as they surfed the wave out on one of the Library tables, Twilight looked at the bizarre scene in front of her when Spike groaned and facepalmed.

"She opened the door, Why didn't we think of that?"

"I think my attempts to stop it just made things worse," Pumpkin added. Twilight just stared at them for a second, trying and failing to piece together what happened.

"H-How? Why?" Twilight asked Spike. The dragon was about to answer when Pumpkin stepped forward.

"It was my fault Princess Twilight,” she said and looked down. “I cast a rain spell and it… kind of got out of hoof." Her ears flattening against her head, but her new friend quickly jumped to her rescue.

"Look on the bright side" Spike added with a grin. "At least you cast that Protection spell on the library, so none of the books were destroyed." Twilight just stared at them, then shook her head.

"I’m going to bed" she sighed. She was way too tired to deal with this right now. Hopefully her room was dry at least, and with that she left. Spike and Pumpkin looked at each other until she left, before they started laughing. At least until Pumpkin sneezed.

"We better get you dry and to a warm place." Spike said, noteing she was soaked to the bone.

"I don't think the Castle is any better than outside right now," Pumpkin said as she looked up at the rainclouds. "Want to come over to my house since I got yours all wet?"

"I'd be honored"

"It’s not too hard to honor you," Pumpkin giggled.

"So I've been told." and with that Spike and Pumpkin made there way to Sugarcube Corner, and when they walked in, the look on Mrs. Cake’s face was priceless

"Oh my! What happened to you two?" Cup Cake asked while moving to get them both a towel.

"I made a new friend, it’s Spike, Spike’s my friend now!" Pumpkin said with a huge grin as her mother toweled her off. Spike chuckled.

"You’re my friend too."
