A Color Divided

Thoughts

Twilight opened her eyes slowly; she looked down to her chest to see her diary on her. Twilight pulled up the diary and closed it, then she placed it under her bed with her hooves.

She got up out of her bed and looked out the window, it was almost sundown. Twilight heard creaking from the stairs behind her, Spike walked in, he looked tired. “Spike, where have you been?”

Spike just looked at Twilight with an awkward look. “I was working for Pinkie, remember? Well anyway, I worked for a couple hours and I’m exhausted.” Spike then threw a pouch of money on the table next to his bed.

“Can I have a look at how much you got in there?” Twilight was only concerned. Spike walked over to the table and grabbed the pouch and gave it to Twilight.

“Sure, go ahead. I know you won’t do anything with the money anyway.” What Spike stated was true, Twilight was only eager to know. Twilight went downstairs and went up to her desk and emptied the pouch.

“20… 40… 60… Wow Spike has more than a hundred bits here. One hundred and… thirty four.” Twilight was shocked at how much he was getting paid for doing a small job. She became even more concerned about what he was doing to earn so many bits.  

“Yo Twilight, what were you counting?” Twilight turned round to see Rainbow walking up to her.

“Oh nothing Rainbow, it’s just Spikes earnings from working at Sugar Cube Corner.” Rainbow never had any expression on her.

“He earns that much? That’s a lot of bits for a small job you know?” Twilight placed a hoof on her chin.

“I guess so, but why would he lie to me about earning money? Well… maybe he just worked for a while; he did say he went out secretly to work there. Maybe he has been doing it for a while now?” Rainbow just nodded and looked up to the bedroom.

“Is he asleep?” Rainbow only wanted to continue their conversation.

Twilight just shrugged and trotted past Rainbow to the middle of the library. “I hope you don’t mind me rearranging my books?” Twilight started to lift all the books and float them towards her. They were put in a neat pile in the shape of a rectangle.

“Nah, I don’t mind. Just try not to wake Spike if he is sleeping.” Twilight nodded in return and just started studying the covers of all the books in the library. Rainbow walked up the stairs to check on Spike, he was lying in his bed.

Twilight was floating all of her books back in to their original places when she noticed that there was an opened package on the table. She walked over to it and took out what was in it.

Rainbow came out the bedroom to notice Twilight holding the Wonderbolts goggles in her hooves. “Rainbow, when did you get these?” Rainbow flew down to get to Twilight faster.

“I can’t really remember, I think about two days ago, I was given it by Spitfire… well she send it, I got the package from Ditsy Doo.” Twilight just put the goggles back in their case and walked over to Rainbow.

“You know that as a ritual, the Wonderbolts send parts of their costume to say that they have chosen a new pony to join them” Rainbow suddenly stood still, Twilight thought Rainbow knew because she studied them more.

“R-Really?” Rainbow looked over at Twilight with a big smile on her face.

“Uh… yes… you never knew, I thought you knew more about them than I did.” Rainbow was hopping in place, something Pinkie would do naturally.

“Well duh… I do know more about them than you do” Twilight then just rolled her eyes and trotted towards her desk. “The only reason I never knew this was because I don’t study Twilight.”

“Oh yeah… I forgot that, well anyway, shouldn’t you be getting some sleep? I mean… its getting dark you know?” Rainbow just trotted towards the couch she was sleeping on earlier.

“Twilight, I’ve already slept… a lot. Oh just so you know, I went out earlier to see Fluttershy.” Twilight never knew why Rainbow told her this, she though noting of it and just walked back to her desk with bits all over it.

Twilight packed up the bits in the pouch again and floated the pouch into the bedroom and onto the table. Twilight pulled out a book from the shelf with a bookmark in it. It was the book on Dragons.

“Well Rainbow, I’m probably not going to sleep for a while. I slept all day anyway.” Rainbow had a grin on her face as she replied to Twilight.

“I noticed” Rainbow then just got herself into a comfortable position on the couch.

Applejack fell asleep on her bed, slowly… still thinking about Rainbow. So many questions to be answered, she needed more emotional support with Twilight… but she couldn’t face her after what Twilight saw her do to Rainbow….
