twilightpony | The Spark

The cake was a success. At least Spike liked it. I didn't eat any of it because of all of the hard sparkly grit that was in it. But it smelled good and it was very pretty. We had lunch at Cafe Hay and then we went to Sugar Cube Corner for desert. Rarity, Pinkie, Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy were there and we sang Make A Wish It's Your Birthday along with Pinkie Pie while the Cake's brought out the cake. Or at least tried to sing. I think everypony at Sugar Cube Corner was thankful when we finished braying.

We all wished Spike a happy hatchday, and since it's also the same day that we found the spark that gave us our cutie marks, there was a lot of reminiscing over lunch. I passed my entrance exam, Rarity found inspiration, Fluttershy discovered critters, Applejack melded to her farm, Dash discovered her love of speed and Pinkie discovered boundless joy and how to spread it.

Nopony gave Spike a birthday present at lunch (we remember all too well what happens when a dragon gets too many gifts at the same time) but we brought home what was left of the cake, which was nearly the whole thing minus what Spike ate. Later, I gave Spike a book: The Snow Walkers by Barley Mowit! It's a really old book about the caribou people, you can really smell the dust on it! Oh yes, that was a great find. I'm sure Spike is going to love it!

Starlight Glimmer didn't go to lunch with us, but she did wish Spike a happy hatchday.
