Scroll Twenty Nine

[huffythedragon]

[Spike is, as usual, chilling in the library, flipping through his journal]

So...does anything happen to you when you've been here a year? Because that's me, today. I can't even believe it's been that long. I guess I'm really lucky that I have ponies form home who care about me, and that I've made a lot of friends here.

It even makes up for the really scary or awkward stuff that happens like, once a month.

So I guess I'd like to thank everypony who's made my life easier here, been nice to me and been a friend to me. I really appreciate that you've made this place sort of a home to me.

[rarities]

Goodness, Spike, a whole year? That's an awfully long time ...

[huffythedragon]

I guess it is. But I've had a pretty good time here, so it's not like it's been horrible.

[rarities]

Well, I'm glad to hear that much. It just seems like such a long time to be away from home.

[huffythedragon]

It's not felt that long though, I've always had at least one or two of you guys here with me. So I've never been really alone. Wherever you guys are is home to me.

[3_butterflies]

That's so sweet, Spike.

[huffythedragon]

Well, I figured everypony needed to know how much I appreciated them being around for me, you know?

[3_butterflies]

And we appreciate you too.

[huffythedragon]

Well, I am the sort of guy who's easy to appreciate.

[ectobabble]

Aw, gee, Spike, thank you! I'm glad you're still here, it's great to have a friend like you, too.

[brb, wishing you up a present.]

[huffythedragon]

Thanks, man, I do my best to be a great friend, you know.

[Nooooo not presents D:]

[ectobabble]

I think you're pretty much one of the best people I know at it. Where're you at, right now? Library?

[it's not anything with lasting value save for memories, don't worry. food is involved... glorious wonderful amazing artery clogging Ray-engineered food]

[huffythedragon]

Well, thanks! And yeah, aren't I always?

[Oh good, food is glorious and allowed]

[modernholmes]

Come to think of it, it has been nearly a year for me as well.

[huffythedragon]

It's weird, isn't it? How quickly time flies when you're living in a creepy, insane castle.

[modernholmes]

Its hard to believe that it has been so long.

[He should be nearly eighteen now.]

[huffythedragon]

[Poor, poor bastard]

Are you going to do anything special for it?

[whitecovered]

My word...it has been nearly a year for me as well. This is the passage of time, I suppose.

[Time flies, even for an old book like him.]

[huffythedragon]

I guess time goes quicker in this place, huh?

Or it feels like it, anyway.

[whitecovered]

Perhaps it is because of how...busy it can become.

[doublethefun]

A year...

[can't quite decide if that's long or (relatively) short.

Eh. Might as well channel big sis.] So what hast thou learnt during thy time here?

[huffythedragon]

[Oh gosh he gets to talk about his lessons in friendship!!!!]

I learned that there are lots of ponies, and people, and everypony and everyperson is different, but it's our difference which makes us who we are, and we should always be okay with that.

[doublethefun]

[lmfao, that icon]

[there's a quiet laugh] I doubt I could have said it any better. The diversity here is truly amazing.

[wishmadeinfire]

Nothing particular, unless you wish to throw yourself a party, which I think some have. Usually, I think, people and Paradisa let it pass without comment.

[huffythedragon]

I'll avoid a party. Me and parties end badly.

[wishmadeinfire]

I am sure they cannot end so badly as you think.
