Ashton Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Current Lineup:Rainbow Dash - AshtonSpike - AshtonCMC (used once as a gag) - AshtonRarity - InSaNiTyCaTTwilight Sparkle - DulsetTarnApplejack - InSaNiTyCaTFluttershy - RainbowDaringDashPinkie Pie - DulsetTarn ---------- It was a calm and sunny day, which was a little odd since the weather report called for some rain this afternoon and there was not a single cloud in the sky, but then for some reason the weather had been slightly off-schedule the last couple weeks... Spike didn't think too much about it though... The birds were singing as they nested in the branches of the trees, a rare occurance since regular visits from Twilight's flying friends tended to scare them off... Spike didn't think too much about it though... The sleepy dragon glanced about the impeccable library, it had been a long time since he had to clean up all the books when a pegasus' crash-entrance knocked every. last. one. from the shelves... Spike didn't think too much about it though... The little dragon headed to the kitchen and pulled out a coffee pot, though the coffee maker was in the corner gathering dust... he filled it with water and took a deep breath and with a blast of green fire the pot was now filled with boiling water (and slightly scorched, but he'd scrub that off later) he took the coffee and tied it up int he filter and proceeded to bob it up and down for a short time boredly as he let twilight sleep, it was rare for the mare to sleep in, but no doubt she had a long night in her lab or something... after a while, spike pulled the 'bag' of coffee out and tossed it int he trash, pouring a mug of coffee for himself and twilight, adding a little milk and a few mushrooms in lieu of sugar. It was a strange quirk of the dragon, but it worked well enough... As he was placing them on the table, there was what seemed to be a knock at the door "It's open!" called spike There was another knock Spike raised a brow And this time the creaking of the mailslot as several rather bent letter were slid through the slot "shoulda known" said spike as he padded over and picked up the mail "Bill... bill... Playdrake Renewal notice... gotta hide that one" he said, as he made the notice vanish in a flash of flame - he'd pay it later when Twilight was too busy to ask him what he was doing... "Plants and Ponies Issue 721..." he walked over and set it on the shelf "Popular Hooftronics..." placed it ont he shelf "and... a letter from Rainbow Dash?" he paused "hey she has been gone a while hasn't she..." he frowned a little since it was addressed to 'Twilight Sparkle' without mention of him, he noted the odd address though, instead of 20 Cloud Lane like normal, it was sent from a Hotel in Las Pegasus... suspicious but he seemed to recall Dash saying something about a convention she was going to... something about weather... sounded boring to spike... "TWILIGHT!" he called "HEY TWILIGHT! YOU GOT A LETTER!" he carried the letter and the cups of coffee up the stairs "IT'S FROM YOUR FAVORITE ACCIDENT-PRONE FEATHERBRAIN!" he said, clearly a little annoyed at dash still, though he obviously didn't have any venom in the insult "TWILIGHT! YOUR MAKING ME LOOK EASY TO WAKE UP!" he frowned as he stood in the doorway and glared at ehr bed, the light reflecting off his catlike eyes almost ominously... of course given how cranky he was in the mornings it wasn't entirely inappropriate...

DulsetTarn Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Twilight grumbled a bit and rubbed her head as she woke up. She'd always told Spike that if he was so cranky in the morning he may as well just sleep in. Then again, that was when she was usually up long before him. She heaves herself out of bed, right-hoof side as always, and heads to the mirror to begin her routine. It was about time Dash had sent this letter. She'd been expecting it some time ago, and continuously planning and replanning around its pending arrival had made her daily schedules much more erratic than she ever liked them to be. "Go ahead and read it, Spike." She wasn't going to interrupt her morning just to read a letter. That was what Spike was there for, after all. She magicked her brush over and ran it through her mane, twice forward, down the neck, three over the tail, then the toothbrush... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Spike rolled his eyes "Hi twilight, blah blah blah I'm awesome, blah blah blah, signed Dash" he said, not opening the letter "what? you know that's what it's going to say" but as he was talking he did open and unfold the letter, he cleared his throat "Hey Egghead" he rolled his eyes "well that's not very nice" he continued though "Really digging the weatherpony convention, there's so much awesome stuff here! I learned some cool new tricks I'm gonna try when I get home - and some stuff for the weather service too. Made some friends and going to hit the casinos tonight, Should be home in two days."Spike paused just a moment and smirked "With all my eternal love for you, Rainbow 'your mare' Dash" though it was evident from the change in tone and the look on Spike's face that he made that last part up as a bad joke, even placing the letter on Twilight's dresser so she could see it. Of course the OCD Unicourn was very likely to also notice the postmark, which said the letter was mailed two weeks ago! ((just to make things clearer, Spike's comments are in purple, the actual text of the letter he read is in Red)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulsetTarn Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Twilight listens closely, shooting Spike a stern look as he closes the letter with his joke just as she finishes her morning hygiene. She levitates herself a cup of coffee, as well as a bowl of assorted fruits from the kitchen as she takes a seat at the living room table. "All that waiting for such an uneventful letter? Well, I guess at least it's not something crazy." She giggles a bit as she begins to eat. "I half expected her to get into some kind of trouble down there, forcing us all to abandon everything we're doing and hurry over for some big adventure! Nice to hear she's finally enjoying that convention-" She blinks, her chewing stopping mid-bite. "...Spike, she left for the convention... 16 days ago, right? And she didn't leave early, because we all had to help her pack after she overslept, or she'd miss the opening Wonderbolts show." She gets up and paces a bit. "No convention lasts this long, this letter should mention something about it ending at least." Her horn glows and the letter zips from her dresser to her eyes, and she looks over each letter very carefully. "......Spike, we have a problem."

Ashton Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Spike blinked "We do?" he asked "Are we out of milk?" he smirked "I mean sure the weather's been kinda messed up but really, it's nice and calm with no random crashes or rainbooms or..." he paused, finally, FINALLY, thinking about everything, thinking about really how _strange_ it was for ponyville and how nothing felt quite right the whole time she was gone... for all the trouble spike saw dash as causing, she really was an integral part of the town, and of his and Twilight's lives "...your right, I guess we have to go save her?" he asked nervously, tapping the marshmallow in his coffee, making it sink down below the liquid, then bob back to the surface - a cute little nervous mannerism of his that he displayed around twilight. Whether he was purposefully trying to be cute, trying to distract her just-a-little, or it was genuinely a nervous tick of his was not clear...

DulsetTarn Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Twilight's face grows stern and determined, levitating over a quill and two rolls of paper and immediately beginning to write, speaking as she does. "This afternoon, we all head to Las Pegasus. Go get the others and tell them what's wrong, I need to draft letters to the Princess and Dash. Be ready to send them off when you get back."

Ashton Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 ((@ Cat: actually right now, Twilight jsut raised the provervial alarm! I'm going to jsut post all five in order to save time)) Spike nodded "You can count on me!" he said as he turned and ran out the door as fast as his chubby legs coudl carry him... "hoooooooo" said OWlicious sadly, covering his face with his wing, clearly saying 'I cant beleive you just sent him to do that unattended' ----- The closest of the homes was Sugarcube Corner, Spike ran inside... ...and a good half hour later he walked out with a contented look on his face, a large cookie in one claw and an ice-cream in the other... he loved visiting the cakes... he took a lick at the icecream, finishing most of it in one lick... wait, wasn't he supposed to be doing something? Oh snap! he gulped down the ice-cream and flame'd away the cookie for later, running to the next house on the list since he had no clue where pinkie was and searchign for her woudl probably take him hours... ----- Spike ran up to the door of the caroucel boutique and knocked ont he door frantically, mostly out of concern for his own hide since he had botched telling pinkie, though it was more likely to be taken as concern for the missing Rainbow Dash... When the door was opened by the familiar unicorn, spike literally floated off the ground a moment "...Rarity..." though the memory of his last failure was enough to force him to focus "You have to come help us, Dash is missing and Twilight is gathering you all up to go find her, she's been missing for quite a while, and Twilight's worried for some reason..." Spike let just a little snark slip though, since he wasn't exactly close to dash, or maybe there were otehr reasons... but after staring at rarity just amoment more he tore himself away "Gotta go get the others! Twilight's still at the library!" he said as he turned and ran ----- Circling outwards, next ont he list was AJ, as he entered he glanced over across the distance at the floating house that belonged to Dash, a little glad that it was the pegasus who had dissapeared... he would have hated to try and find a way up there... but FOCUS! he turned and headed on into the farm, finalyl finding AJ pitching hay into a cart int he barn "Applejack! You have to come help us, Twilight gathering all of you together because Rainbow Dash is missing! Twilight's at the library, I still have to go find Fluttershy and Pinkie!" he headed out, though he came back, smiled awkwardly "mind if I take this? thanks!" he said, grabbing one of hte apples that was lieing nearby, and headed off through the fields, towards the last house... ----- Spike had finished his apple and tossed the core over to the side of the path, where a squirrel chittered happily and took it up into the tree. Spike knocked at the door. The waited, and knocked again, a little softer "Fluttershy? It's Spike. I need to talk to you" he said gently, hoping that it would lure the timid yellow pegasus out of her cottage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InSaNiTyCaT Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Applejack finished pitching the last of the hay just as an all too familiar friend appeared. "Well howdy spike!" She managed to get out before he burst into a ramble of what had happened to Rainbow Dash."Well Sugarcube what we standin' 'bout, we've gotta friend ta save," she reared up with a loud ye-haw before dashing off towards the Library. "Darnit I knew that damn ole convention ain't no good," her thunderous hooves sounded outside of the library. ---"Oh dear, hello Spike I'm terribly sorry I was just finishing off a new collection, I'll be there right away," she watched him run off before turning around a levitating her diamond saddle bags as well as extra needles threads etc."My gosh, I wonder if dear Rainbow Dash is ok, I told her to make sure she was in a presentable fashion," she huffed as Rarity neatly brushed through her hair and neatly placed her glasses in her case and headed out the door.She trotted graceful towards the library and knocked politely on the door."Dearest Twilight what ever has happened? / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DulsetTarn Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 "Aha! Finally!" Twilight rushes to the door and opens it to see two of her friends waiting, and carrying a pair of rolled up letters with her magic. "...Just you two? The least popular two ponies of our group? Where are the others? Where's Spike? And what took you so long, I sent him out to get you all 40 minutes ago!"With the way this morning had gone, Twilight silently wonders if Dash's absence has somehow removed all "fast" from the world.

InSaNiTyCaT Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 "My dear I'm awfully sorry, I was busy packing everything we'd need to help Rainbow Dash! One can never go unprepared at a convention you know?"She walked into the library head held high and waited for fluttershy and pinkie pie to appear.-"I'm mighty sorry Twi' I got here as fast as I could at running pace, after I packed ma bags for Rainbow, I haven' seen Pinkie today at all, nor fluttershy," HM she pulled down her hat in shame before trotting in and pacing back and forth, awaiting her other friends to appear.
