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.

[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.

[rarities]

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

[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]

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

[huffythedragon]

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

[Nooooo not presents D:]

[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]

You're the hardest working dragon I know.

[huffythedragon]

Thanks, Fluttershy, it's nice to know the effort doesn't go unrecognised.

[3_butterflies]

Such a good effort deserves a reward.... but...

[modernholmes]

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

[huffythedragon]

Yeaaaah, let's not go down that road ever again. I'll settle for praise and adoration.

[huffythedragon]

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

[3_butterflies]

Oh, no, I didn't mean that! It's just... how could I ever give you a gift, when this castle gives you everything you want?

[modernholmes]

Its hard to believe that it has been so long.

[He should be nearly eighteen now.]

[huffythedragon]

Oh.

Aww, Fluttershy, just knowing I've made your life easier and happier is enough for me.

[3_butterflies]

You've certainly done that, always.

[huffythedragon]

[Poor, poor bastard]

Are you going to do anything special for it?

[huffythedragon]

Then I know I've accomplished a job well done.

[3_butterflies]

Still... is there anything I can do for you?

[modernholmes]

Not planning on 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.]
