“G-good!” His face screwed up before he grabbed the blankets shoved his face in them. He didn’t cry, but it looked like he was about to. Twilight patted him on the back and rubbed until he pulled his head out. The blanket was wet, but she didn’t say anything about it. “I’m just worried about you, okay? Anytime you go somewhere I’m not allowed, something bad happens, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Take me with you next time, okay?”
“You’re a teenage dragon now, so okay, I promise I will.”
“Thanks, Twilight.” Spike pulled away from the bed and walked back to the door, he stepped outside without offering to make her something to eat, but she didn’t mind. He was a little sad now.
She continued reading the book, enjoying all the information about the Kirin she could until it was time for work. She got up, readied herself, and waited patiently for Spike before leaving for the friendship school. They got there early, as Twilight was wont to do, and prepared for the day.
Teaching went as normal as could be expected. Twilight handled a few problems in class, took care of some of the students who needed a bit of extra guidance along with Starlight, and then watched as they played ball out in the fields. She was sitting, reading her book on Kirin while the students played, when a discus came flying out of nowhere.
“Look out!” somepony shouted. Twilight looked up just in time for the discus to strike her right across the eyes! She found herself on the ground, staring up at the sky, with only a fuzzy feeling in her right cheek.
