TW: Mention of Hanging; Suicidal Ideation.
Proceed with Caution!!!
It was lunchtime, and Spike was walking to Twilight's room to check on her. Last he knew, she was asleep after staying awake for two days straight. How the Princess is able to do that, Spike is still not sure.
I hope she's okay. Spike thought.
Just then, he heard a knock on the front doors to the castle, and went over to it. Who could that be? He opened it to see Sandbar, Yona, Ocellus, Smolder, Gallus, and Silverstream standing at the door.
"Oh, hello." Spike alarmed, "What brings you six to the castle?"
"We heard about what's happened with Twilight, and we wanted to know if she's doing any better." Ocellus informed.
"Well, last I've checked," Spike replied, "she's sleeping. She stayed up all night trying to find a solution to this."
"Oh, no!" Silverstream exclaimed, "That's terrible!"
"A solution to what, exactly?" Smolder chimed in, looking as confused as the rest of them.
"Long story short," Spike started, "the ponies of Equestria are angry at Twilight for not setting a trial date for Tempest, so they've forced her to choose between setting a trial date or handing her over to the public to deal with."
After a moment of silence, Sandbar responded, "She should just set the trial date, then."
Everyone else nodded in agreement. Yona chimed in, "Yona thinks so, as well."
"That's what we think, too." Spike agreed, "But somehow, Twilight has got it in her head that she has to do what the ponies desire."
"Now that's just silly!" Gallus exclaimed, "She's a princess; she can do whatever she wants."
"We've been trying to tell her that, but we haven't been successful." Spike added. The rest of the Student 6 stood there perplexed, and for a few seconds, Spike didn't know what to do.
"I'm gonna go check up on her now." Spike finally said to the six students. "Thanks for stopping by."
Spike put his left hand on the door, and started to close it.
"Wait!"
Spike looked at Ocellus, who had screamed that statement. She had a card in her hoof. "We all made this card for her. Could you give it to her for us, please?"
Spike took the card out of Ocellus' hand. "Sure, and thanks for supporting her."
"Happy to help!" Smolder waved. Everyone else waved, as well as Spike closed the door behind him. Observing the note, he saw stars drawn along the front, as well as all the Student Six's faces. Smiling, he brought the note to Twilight's bedroom.
I'm probably going to just leave this note underneath her door, instead of waking her up. Spike thought.
Spike slipped the note underneath her door with ease, and walked back to the library.
Time to catch up on my Power Pony Comics!
Unbeknownst to Spike, Twilight was still up at her desk, mane a mess, furiously writing on pieces of paper. While writing, she heard something come from her door. Twilight turned in her seat and saw the note Spike left under the door. Without getting up, Twilight picked up the letter in her aura and opened it.
