Dave got worried about Spike but decided not to go back in case he might panic. He knew Spike would crack and tell Twilight, well at least someone other then Spike would know. For a while everything seemed normal until pony’s started telling him Twilight wanted to see him. He began looking for her to see what she wanted but knew what was coming. He walked back to the library and knocked on the door. Spike opened it slowly and jumped back a few feet when he saw it was Dave. “Holy Celestia!” He yelled as he landed. Dave looked at him worried. “Um Twilight was looking for me?” Spike nodded sweat dripping off his face. Dave sighed. “Do you know where she is?” Spike shook his head. ‘Its as if he scared to say something that could make me snap...’ Dave sighed and turned around. “I’ll just wait out here.” He closed the door and sat down.

For some reason the party was still going and this surprised Dave. ‘how long is this going to last?’ His thoughts were cut short when a hoof tapped his shoulder. “Dave? You ok?” He turned and looked into Twilights worried eyes. “I suppose so. So why did you want to see me?” She looked around. “Spike told me everything” ‘Little bugger...’ “and I just wanted to make sure you were all right.” He nodded and smiled. “I’ll be fine Twi. That was my past and I will never bring it back in full swing. I promi” He never finished as a very drunk Rainbow Dash bumped into him. “Hey buddy! *HIC* W-watch where your” He got up and looked at her. “Oh its you the smarty guy.” Dave in all of his time here never knew Dash drank. “Dash calm down.” He acted calm but was getting steamed. “Or whats? You guna tell me about skool?” Dave almost giggled but stopped himself. He dident have a chance to talk before she started ranting again. “ Ya know whay you look like some sorta evil guy with that look you give some pony’s. Like you want to eat them or something.” Dave’s eye twitched and Twilight was trying to calm down Dash. “It’s like you sometimes want to.....um..... You look like a doctor! But not one of thous nice ones that help ya but the ones that like to see how stuff works!”

*snap*

Dave’s eyes started getting smaller and a wild grin came across his face. “You know something? I always wondered about how you fly.” She looked confused. “With those wings don’t look any bigger then birds yet you still fly.” She shook her head. “You don’t know nothing! You just thinkin you smart!” By this time the main six had gathered around them, Twilight looked at Dave in horror as his eyes almost looked like dots. “Oh I know my dear and thats why i want to... ‘Pick’ your brain. To find out why.” He started looking a bit gray. “Oh? u wat my help?” Dave nodded. “Oh yes! You would be oh so helpful.” Twilight couldent say a word. “Oh those to become better friends every time i see them. Even with Dash drunk! How about that?” Rarity and the others giggled except Twilight. Spike came outside to see what was going on and almost panicked when he saw Twilight so frozen. “Oh no!” He ran over and leaped over the small gathering and almost on top of Dave’s head but a dark glow surrounded him and he flouted in front of Dave. “Ah Spike nice to see you. I was just about to ask you to come out.” Spike started yelling when he flouted over to Twilight her magic taking him. “Don’t you dare hurt them!” She yelled. Dave looked hurt.

“Why Twilight! What would make you think that?” His grin widened. At this point the others where getting scared. “Twi, whats goin on?” Applejack looked at Twilight with worry. Dave took no notice to her. “I just wanted to play a ‘game’.” He giggled insanely. “NO! I wont let you hurt them! I know what you want to do!” Dave rolled his eyes. “Oh ok you got me. Hey Dash you still want to give me a hoof?” Dash was hovering there think when Twilight spoke again. “No Dash! It’s a trap!” Dash waved her hoof at Twi. “Im not guna do it anyway! He is to stupid to find out by himself so i’ll let him suffer.” Dave’s eye twitched. “He’s got so much smarts he can even think this threw! I mean look at him! He should be”

*WHACK*

Dash went flying over and hit a tree. Dave sighed and turned back around. “That was hurtful ya know. Oh well.” Everyone looked stunned. “D-did you just....Kick Dash?” Fluttershy had passed out and Applejack looked pissed. “What do ya think your doing!? She’s ya friend!” Dave looked over at the earth pony. “Hopefully that should have ended it. She was annoying.” Applejack got ready to hit him when he dissapered laughing like a mad man. “Where’d he go?” She looked around in rage. Twilight was looking over Rainbow and sighed. “Shes ok. He missed her jaw by a bit.” Rarity was helping Fluttershy up. “I dont know dear....But one things for sure...” She looked up at the sky. “We have to stop him...” Next Chapter: oh gods why?!
