The Day My Life Began

Dragons Xtreme

The birthday of our favorite boy dragon was approaching. I found it super funny that Spike and Twilight had their birthdays close together. He was as old as Twilight's cutiemark.

Usually, I figure out myself what a person wants for their birthday. This year I let my instincts guide me. Spike didn't want a book, so I wouldn't get him just any book.

So, searching through the bookstore, I was looking for the perfect gift for Spike.

In the comic book section. Brilliant, huh?

"Raspberry?" A voice asked.

Looking towards it, I saw Twilight. She was holding a book in her magical grip, giving me a curious look. The two of us had actually been getting closer since her birthday. She had even added a small dark pink gem to the necklace I gave her. Twilight was used to my walking into the library, to seeing me around town, saying hello to me.

Just a couple days ago, Twilight asked me if I wanted to meet up for tea! For tea! I felt so British for a second, and said yeah. These ponies are making me extraverted and I can't find myself caring!

Lilac was even making more friends! With Derpy's daughter, Dinky. She was so cute! It helps that I ask Amethyst Star to watch Lilac whenever I go visit Cadance.

"Yeah, Sparkle of Twilight?"

"Why are you in the comic book section?" Twilight asked, walking towards me. She was also looking at the other comics.

"What? I don't look like a nerd?" I challenged. Twilight looked at me wide eyed. "I'm not one, those were my brothers, but it was just a bit insulting."

Twilight laughed. She shook her head. That was actually more insulting. "Are you shopping for them?"

"For Spike." I admitted, trying to find one he would like.

"Spike likes comic books?" Twilight said after a moment.

I shrugged. "I see the need inside of him. I grew up with two of them, and know the signs."

Picking up one, I threw it at her. "You should give him this one. He'd like it."

"Why do you think Spike will like Power Ponies?" Twilight asked.

"Don't know. I just get feelings sometimes. Buy that one this, tell this one that. Tell her to turn left, not right." I shook my head. "Oh. Wait. Haven't told her that yet. Not looking forward to that. Vanished just before I could." I looked at Twilight, who was still confused. "You can go which ever way you feel is right, or left. It's your life."

Searching again, I tried to find one for me to give Spike. "It's the first in the series, so he can read up on the rest on his own."

"Wow. Thanks!" Twilight cheered. "I owe you one!"

"Just admit you love me and the debt will be cleared." I joked, adding a laughing at the end.

Twilight laughed back. "Goodbye Raspberry."

"Bye-bye, Sparkle of Twilight."

Once she was gone, I began diving into my insanity.

"Would he like Spiderstallion?" I asked.

"No. The lizard guy." I argued.

"Good point." I shook my head. "How about Superstallion?"

"Yeah, it might be a good idea." I said, doubtful. "But what about the whole...it-ness?"

"It-ness?" I giggled.

"Yeah, it-ness." This is what I get up to when my sister isn't around. "It doesn't feel right for Spike."
