Same as always, if you find any stupid grammar/spelling errors, tell me and I'll fix it.


’-dge...’ Spike commented as he saw the smoke rise from the burning backpack. He knew from experience that it was no use in trying to stop it now, and it would be really funny to see how Twilight’s friends would react.

10 minutes later, the smoke had affected everypony in the library. Spike was used to the initial buzz but Twilight and her friends wasn’t. Rainbow and Applejack had slumped down on their haunches. Their mouths was slightly open and they leaned against eachother for support. Applejack suddenly started chuckling without a reason, and Rainbow followed her lead. Spike was sitting against the wall opposite of the stoned athletes and chuckled at their expressions.

Pinkie Pie was lying on her back and mumbling something, she was unusually quiet and still. Fluttershy was talking like there was no tomorrow. She was talking about everything in the library. Apparently, chairs are evil and sent from another dimension to take over Equestria, according to her. She sat besides the mumbling party pony, poking her friends bouncy hair every second that passed. It was like they had switched personalities. Spike thought that it was strange to hear Fluttershy to talk so much and it was almost annoying, but he just leaned back against the wall and looked up at the ceiling, then at Rarity and Twilight.

Rarity was trying hard to stand up, but she gave up and slumped down on her haunches and made a small smile. It didn’t take long until she laid down on the library floor, ignoring that the floor might be dirty. This was unlike her, she would usually never even think of lying down on the floor as it would make her feel unclean and panic. She was looking at Spike straight into his eyes with her eyes half-closed and a small grin plastered on her face. It didn’t take long until she started giggling at something. Spike had no idea of what was going on, but he kept looking into her eyes. He suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him intensely. He slowly turned his head and met Twilight’s gaze. He felt a strong shiver go down his spine just from her staring at him, he couldn’t help but to think a few very unflattering words repeatedly as the angry librarian walked towards him.

‘Spike...’ She said in a dark, cold voice that sent another wave of shivers through him. ‘What. Did you do.’ That wasn’t a question, that was an order that he had to answer. He started rubbing his left arm with his right arm while looking up at her apologetically.

’I uh... Uh..’ Spike managed to stammer before Twilight hardened her stare. Twilight was extremely persuasive moments like these, high or not. ’I sort of tripped... And... And I fell and I mayhaveaccidentallyspoutedfireatthebackpackfilledwiththeleaves!’ He shouted and took a deep breath.

‘Wait what? A little slower, please.’ Twilight’s gaze softened as she only managed to hear something about an accident.

’I kinda forgot to pick up one book, and I tripped on it and fell... Then I landed on my stomach and spouted a teensy weensy ball of fire at the backpack with all the leaves, heh heh...’ Twilight looked at the stressed baby dragon in front of her, and gave him an assuring smile that told him that she wasn’t going to yell at him anymore. After an awkward silence, Twilight burst out laughing at the whole situation. Spike joined in on the laughter and all her friends started laughing with them too, but they had no idea what they were laughing at.

-----

Everypony in the library was lying on their backs in the middle of the room and was quiet. Even Fluttershy didn’t talk. They were just lying there, inspecting the ceiling.

’Spike..’ Rainbow muttered as she lazily looked at him.

‘Yeah?’ He answered automatically.

‘We got some of that weird smoke from those leaves, right?’ She asked him in a serious tone.

Spike started chuckling and explained once again how he tripped and set fire on the backpack again. By the end of the explanation, everypony was laughing.

They continued the evening by talking about random topics that somepony would just think of at the spot until Spike got hungry. ‘I’ll be back in a couple of minutes.’ He said as he stood on unstable legs and started walking towards the kitchen. A mischievious grin made its way onto Rainbow Dash’s face. She whispered something to her friends, they were going to have some fun with poor Spike.

When Spike walked back to the main room, nopony was there. He first thought that they had gone outside, but when he saw that the door was still locked, he dismissed that thought and moved on.

‘Twilight?’ No answer.

’AJ?’ No answer again.

‘Rarity..?’ Still no answer, he made a small squeal as he continued searching.

His search lead him to the door to the basement where Twilight keeps her weird inventions. He heard a soft giggle and a hushing sound from the door and realised that he had hit the jackpot. He slowly opened the door and looked inside. Nopony was there. He took a few steps inside and looked around. He couldn’t see anypony. He was starting to feel a little scared. He took a few more cautious steps and when he looked down at the floor beneath him, he could see a poorly drawn cross.

‘What the hay?’ He said as he heard a sudden crash from above, looking up he saw something that looked like Dash, and it was heading straight for him. He didn’t notice that he was walking backwards toward the edge of the platform and before he could react, he fell backwards and let out a scream that didn’t exactly fit for a dragon his age, or his gender. He screamed like a little filly in other words. It wasn’t that high, but it still was an unpleasant drop. It felt like an eternity and his mind was going faster than Dash after her Sonic Rainboom and he wasn’t exactly complimenting the cyan mare in his thoughts. He braced himself for the rough landing that never happened. He was cushioned by magic, Twilight had caught him with her telekinesis. Everypony laughed when they saw his expression.

‘Hey Spines, nice little squeak you got there!’ Rainbow Dash mocked when she landed next to her breathless friends.

‘I’M GOING TO BUCKING KILL YOU, DASH!’ Spike shouted as he jumped the chocked mare. Rainbow was scared out of her mind and everypony else were laughing at the display.

-----

When Spike had finally calmed down with Twilight having to use her magic to pull him off Rainbow three times, he started laughing like a maniac. Everypony shared glances with eachother while putting on fake smiles. They all thought that he was insane, and nervously laughed with him.

It was starting to get late, and everypony started heading to their respective homes. Twilight was lying on the couch in the library, thinking. She had many thoughts swirling around in her head, but one question was the clearest.

’‘What the hay should I report to Princess Celestia?’’


She was thinking as hard as she could to come up with something, the buzz from the leaves were gone. But then she got an idea. She levitated a scroll and a quill from the desk and started writing.

Dear Princess Celestia,

This week I have learned that accidents do happen, and you shouldn’t be afraid to tell somepony about them. (Oh boy, this sounds so wrong) There’s no shame in needing help from others from time to time, as the problem can also hide an answer. The problem can be a reason to do some ’‘scientific research’’ and open your eyes in a completely new way. And in the end, the problem can become a joy for others to enjoy with you.

Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle

P.s Get your sexy flank to Ponyville and have a good time!

P.p.s DAMMIT SPIKE

Princess Celestia looked up from the letter and looked around her empty room, it was late night and nopony was around at the time. She levitated a small roll of paper who was filled with some familiar leaves and was glowing in the end that wasn’t pointed to her. Her eyes had a soft pink tint and she chuckled as she read the last part of the letter.

’I have no idea what’s going on...’ She said as she levitated the blunt to her mouth and took a deep breath.
