Scroll forty one

[huffythedragon]

[Spike clears his throat as he dictates into the journal. He sounds almost nervous. No. Not nervous. Worried. Because he knows what this place is like and he knows how easily things can Go Wrong thanks to people acting well...like Paradisans]

So uh. You guys might have started seeing someone you know who shouldn't be in the castle lately. It's not that person...probably. Unless they actually have just shown up, because I guess that's possible. And this place has crummy timing for things like that.

[Wait. He's getting off track]

Anyway, chances are it's Twilight. She's on a loss. There are these creatures in our world called Changelings. They can change into anypony they want to, and more importantly, they feed off of love. So she doesn't mean to hurt or upset you if she turns into somepony you really care about. She can't control it so please don't get mad at her or hurt her, okay?

Hopefully it won't last all that much longer.

[There's another pause, then a sigh]

[Arya]

How are-

Are you doing okay?

I really miss

[Nope. He still doesn't know how to fix this in any way that won't make her mad]

Comments

[untilmydarknessgoes]

They eat love?

[huffythedragon]

Uh huh. Weird, right?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

That's a word for it.

[Bull was more of the word he was looking for.]

[huffythedragon]

Have you come across her yet? I'm really sorry if you have, she doesn't mean it.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Can't say that I have.

Just to clear this up, how the hell do you eat love?

[huffythedragon]

I don't know, it's how their magic works.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Helpful.

[huffythedragon]

Yeaaah that's Equestria for you. [The land of unanswered questions]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

What the hell kind of name is Equestria?

[...Because Mystic Falls is brill, Damon?]

[huffythedragon]

[Mystic Falls is clearly the best name ever]

It's the name of the country I live in. [A pause] Ponies mostly live in it so...

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Oh, you're not one of those talking ponies I heard about, are you?

[huffythedragon]

Nope, I'm from the same world as them, and they raised me, but I'm a dragon.

[Because that's so much easier to deal with than talking ponies, yep]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[Yeah, that really is! 8D]

...Right. A dragon. Of course. What was I thinking?

[huffythedragon]

It's okay, bro. It's an easy mistake to make.

1/2

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

A dragon just called me bro.

Well, I guess I can scratch that off the bucketlist.

[huffythedragon]

[He doesn't get it, Damon]

What's a bucket got to do with anything?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Never mind.

So how the hell does a dragon get raised by ponies? Aren't you supposed to eat those?

[huffythedragon]

[He sounds horrified] NO! I'm a vegetarian!

And I don't know, my egg just ended up in Equestria.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

[...What the hell?]

Doesn't that just figure? I talk to a dragon and it's a vegetarian...

So what, you eat hay or something?

[huffythedragon]

Uh huh, and grass and fruit and vegetables. And gemstones when I can get them.

[Yep. Gemstones]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Well then, keep your mouth off my ring and we'll get along just fine.

[huffythedragon]

...Yeah no problem there, bro. I keep away from jewellery. Eating that only ends badly for everypony.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

You don't set crap on fire accidentally, do you?

[huffythedragon]

I...err...

Sometimes. If I have a cold. Or...hiccups.
