[Spike really isn't doing great today. After what happened with Arya, he's in a state of hurt confusion, and so he'll turn to the only creatures who he KNOWS will have an answer to this.

...Or rather they would have an answer if they weren't the Princess who was dumped on the moon for a thousand years and the unicorn with only a small array of social skills. Oh well. It's better than nothing]

[Filtered to Princess Luna and Twilight Sparkle]

Guys, I've got a problem. What do you do when somepony who thought was your friend not only says they don't want to be your friend any more, but also that they never thought you were friends in the first place?

[That done, he'll just continue to mope around the library, wondering what went wrong in his life]

[She frowns at the thought of anyone saying that to sweet little Spike.]

Well, you did say you were having an argument. Maybe they said that beclaws they were upset?

[huffythedragon]

You think so? So if she had time to cool down she wouldn't really mean it?

[rogueofheart]

It's a possibility. It's something you would definitely want to approach carefully. Not like, "Hey, I know you didn't mean it so let's be friends again!" Some people don't like to say they're wrong, or they don't know how to take back mean things they said. It's just how they are.

But... I think yeah, if you give your friend some time to cool off and think about things, they will come around again.

[huffythedragon]

Okay, so I should just leave her and see if she comes to me? [Like taming a puppy. No don't think that, that's wrong.

...Or very apt]

[rogueofheart]

Exactly. Friends always come around again. Sometimes they just need a little space, and that's okay.

[huffythedragon]

Okay. I'll try out the giving her space thing. I sure hope it'll work.

[rogueofheart]

It should! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, too.

[huffythedragon]

I sure hope so.

[rogueofheart]

Don't worry, Spike. [She leans over and gives him a one-armed hug.] I'm sure everything will work out fur the best!

[huffythedragon]

[Nepeta you are the best] Aww thank, I hope you're right. [ALL THE HUGS BACK]

[rogueofheart]

In the meantime, if you need any more cheering up at all, you know you can always count on me.

[huffythedragon]

That's real nice of you, Nepeta, thank you.

[rogueofheart]

You're welcome.

[She looks around at the scattered books. Oh, right. She did that.]

Soooo, do you want some help putting the books away?

[huffythedragon]

Could you? That'd seriously help.

[rogueofheart]

Absolutely. I kind of helped make the mess, anyway.

[She leaps to her feet and begins to pick up some of the scattered books. See? She can be helpful in more ways than one!]

[huffythedragon]

[Nepeta you are a good friend]

I wish everypony thought like that. It'd make my job a heck of a lot easier.
