The morning came quickly for Twilight Sparkle after a dreamless night. Sunlight sifted through the window beside her comfortable bed and warmed her lavender coat. She was back in her library in Ponyville. When she got back home after a 3-hour train ride last night, she was bombarded with questions from her assistant dragon, Spike. She like how he was always concerned for her well-being. Ever since she hatched him at the test, Spike considered her a surrogate big sister and the two bonded strongly together. Twilight didn't want him to be too concerned about her and told him that it was simply royal business, nothing much to worry about. The princess was still wary about telling her friends about the mage living inside her.

No way to know how my friends would react. I don't want them jumping to conclusions like so many previous times. What if they think that he was a danger to me? Or think that I snapped again? Okay Twilight. There's no need to get worked up over this... Keeping his existence a secret will be the best way for now. Twilight thought.

On the other hoof, Twilight was also worried about how her mentor is faring so far. Princess Celestia is heading into an imminent conflict where both parties aren't too friendly with ponies. If things take a turn for the worse...

Twilight shook the thoughts out of head and helped herself out of the plush bed and headed down into the first floor of the library. I have to trust the Princess on this one. She knows what she's doing.

"Spike, could you get me to get some breakfast?"

"Right on, Twilight."
-----

You were awakened by the constant shaking of the bedroom. The shaking was intense enough for your body to be bouncing on the mattress. The sound of hoofsteps faintly echoed through the layers of organs and innards. Twilight is already up and going about her day. She's humming a little tune that you made out to be snippets from songs popular in Ponyville. Her voice is as sweet and lovely as Celestia's. you quietly listened to her songs as you tried to get a few extra minutes of sleep.

"Time to get up. The sun is up and shining!" Twilight said melodiously.

You opened your eyes and sat up.

"I'm up, okay?" you groaned.

"Did you sleep well, mage?"

"Sure did. I would say that your bed is as comfy as the one in Celestia."

"It's just some basic magic spells, nothing too special. Say, you wanna get some breakfast? Spike makes the most awesome oats and fried eggs."

"Who's Spike?" you asked.

"He's my assistant. You'll meet him shortly."

"Alright. Where should I be headed?"

"Same as the Princess. At my eyes. Be there in 10 minutes. We have a few things to go over."
