Dizzy Twister 4: Moving in
Dizzy heard a light tapping sound. Her eyes felt heavy as they slowly opened and she recognized the sound as a knock on a door. Dizzy sat up and looked around the royal room. She was in a bed much much larger than her bed at home, the sheets and pillows were very plush and a veil was tied at each end post in an elegant manner. Dizzy stretched each hoof leg and yawned loudly. The knock came again, she figured it was Colin.
"I'll be just a minute Hun!" She called, still rubbing the flakes from her eyes.
"Breakfast is ready and waiting whenever you are madam." Came an unfamiliar voice from outside the door.
Dizzy was puzzled, she wasn't used to this royal treatment. She stepped out of bed and went into the bathroom where she rubbed some water in her eyes and straightened out her mane. She wanted to look her best while in the royal capital.
Dizzy stepped out side her room to a waiting earth pony dressed nicely.
"I will bring you to breakfast now if you are ready, Colin is there waiting for you." He said.
"Very well, I am ready."
As Dizzy followed the pony through the halls, she kept admiring all the beautiful and fascinating things around her, still amazed at the beauty of Canterlot.
"Here we are madam." The butler pony said stopping in front of an open doorway leading into a dining hall.
"Thank you sir." Dizzy slightly bowed her head, knowing it probably wasn't necessary but she felt she needed to do it. She headed inside as her guide departed.
There was a long large table with lots of food and lots of ponies. She looked around until she spotted Colin and went to sit next to him.
"Good morning Dizzy," he said and gave her a small kiss on the cheek, "I trust you slept well?"
"Beautifully! I've never slept in such a comfortable bed before!" She responded looking at the food.
Colin only had some crispy hay on his plate, despite all the other food available.
"Well go ahead and take your pic! If you want anything special you can ask the chef."
Dizzy felt really overwhelmed by all of this, it was amazing, but she wasn't used to being served. She felt awkward and out of place.
Colin finished his food before Dizzy as he didn't eat all that much. "So, are you ready to go back to Ponyville after breakfast? The assembly I was here for has ended and you can return home to ponyville."
Dizzy took a sip of her orange juice and said "Alright that sound good! I must ask tho, how did you get used to all this service? You don't seem the spoiled, pampered type."
"Ha! Don't worry im not, I've had to do a lot of work in my time, trust me, I know how to handle myself in any situation. But for the service, I just kinda got used to it living here and all. Its the only home I have so I kinda got used to it." Colin noticed Dizzy had finished eating. "You done? Good, lets get going before it gets too warm."
Dizzy and Colin soared through the open skies, side by side air flowing through their manes. It was a wonderful breeze as the two glided, feathers slicing the air.
Dizzy though it would be a good moment to ask Colin an awkward question.
"So, you said your only home here in Equestria is at the castle right?"
"Huh? Oh yeah it is. The Princess gave me my own room and everything. She is very kind."
"So uh," Dizzy knew this was going to sound awkward, "What about in Ponyville? Are you like, homeless? Did you sleep on the street the night you were here?" She blushed a little at the question. It seemed foolish to ask a pony who had their own room in Canterlot if they were living on the streets of Ponyville.
"Well actually I didn't really sleep while in ponyville, just kinda wondered the streets at night, getting the lay out of the town, I even checked out the Everfree forest one night. I am considering getting a place, but haven't really had too much time."
Dizzy smiled and blushed. She felt she loved Colin and wanted to be with him, but the next step was a big one. Dizzy took a deep breath of the sharp air.
"I have an extra room in my home, you could come live with me if you like..." She blushed and looked down at the earth below her, embarrassed that she had the courage to ask.
"Dizzy...I...Yes thank you! I would love that very much. It won't be a burden I promise! Thank you!" Colin agreed with glee.
Colin looked forward, he could see the tall building in the middle of the town square of Ponyville now. He had to think of someway to thank Dizzy... his eyes drifted towards Sweet Apple Acre's new wheat field and he got an idea.
"Hey listen, I wanna make it back to you ok? I'll meet you back at your place tonight!"
"Tonight? But its only one o'clock!" Dizzy said somewhat downhearted.
"I know, but trust me it will be worth it!"
"Ok..be safe!" Dizzy called as Colin descended to the right, leaving Dizzy on her own.
As Dizzy arrived at home, she ran into her friend Grape Seed. Grape had a somewhat upset look on her face as she approached.
"Where were you?" Grape demanded.
"Sorry what?"
"Yesterday, we were going to spend time together after work, but you just disappeared!"
"Oh well you see I ran into Colin in Canterlot! You remember Colin right?"
Grape dropped her tense look and smiled. "How could I not? You're in love with him! He is all you talk about! Despite the fact that we rarely talk anymore!" Grape gave Dizzy a look.
"Well what if we talked now! I've got time! Come on in!" She invited Grape inside and got some water for the both of them.
The two mares sat down on the couch together to begin their girl gossip.
"So, you have to tell me all about it!" Grape giggled.
"Well...." Dizzy began to tell all about Canterlot and her love for Colin.
Colin flew down to Sweet Apple Acres with a wonderful idea in mind. an hour later he was flying off with lots of wheat and flour for what he had planned. He used his magic to create a bag and storage containers for his ingredients. He put everything away and placed the still mostly empty bag on his back and flew off for his next destination.
A few minutes later he arrived at the treehouse, where Twilight was staying. He figured since he missed her last time, he should try again as it was his job.
Colin knocked on the tree door and this time, it was the purple unicorn who answered.
"Hello? Can I help you?" She asked.
"Hi Twilight I'm Colin, I'm here from..."
"Oh yes yes, the Princess sent you from Canterlot to help me with my magic!" Twilight cut in.
"Uhh yes I was just..."
"Oh will im doing much better now thank you! Goodbye!" Twilight rushed as she tried to close the door.
Colin stopped the door from closing.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked trying to peer inside.
"No nothing! Nothing at-"
"Help me!" Came a young male voice from inside.
"Hehe..." Twilight awkwardly opened the door and let Colin in.
Colin entered the library treehouse and looked around. Other than a few books on the floor, nothing seemed wrong. Plus, he couldn't find Spike!
He turned back to Twilight "Uh whats going on in here? Where is Spike?"
"Up here buddy!" Came the dragon from above. He was basically laying with is back on the ceiling.
Colin's horn lit up and Spike lowered to the ground. As soon as Colin cut the spell, the baby purple dragon floated back towards the ceiling.
"Ah, you overpowered your flotation spell didn't you?" Colin said giving a knowing look at Twilight.
Twilight blushed and looked down. "I'm sorry, you must be disappointed."
"Not at all, you're still learning and thats why I'm here!"
Colin brought Spike back to the ground and his horn lit up brighter as he invoked another spell. This time, when he cut his connection, Spike did not rise but stay in place.
"Thank you Colin! If you need me I will elsewhere, I'm not going to be the subject for any more experiments tonight!" Spike huffed and he basically stormed out of the library.
"That's ok. All we need to do is get you to control the amount of power you put behind your spells and make sure you can cut the power from your spell." Colin explained.
"Um, what do you mean by 'cut the power from a spell'?" Twilight asked.
"Remember during Winter Wrap Up when you used the come to life spell on the tractor but you couldn't stop it? Thats what I mean, im going to teach you to stop spells like that."
"Oh that would be quite useful!"
"Then lets begin!"
Two hours later, Colin was walking out of the library, putting a cooking book into his bag. He said goodbye to Twilight and thanked her for the book.
Colin then went off for the final ingredients, some cooking eggs and garlic. He planed a special dinner he was sure Dizzy had never before had. On another planet he had learned how to make pasta and garlic bread. It was both delicious and vegetarian so ponies could eat it.
It took him another hour to find the final ingredients and he picked up a bouquet of flowers on the way. His bag was now full of items as he headed towards Dizzy's home, his new home.
"Oh my gosh look at the time! I really must be going! Promise me we will do this again soon!" Grape said to Dizzy finally realizing the time.
"Oh sorry! I guess the time just flew by! I should go prepare the guest bedroom for Colin! Let me walk you to the door." Dizzy said said getting up.
Dizzy opened the front door as Grape walked out.
"See you later Grape!"
"Bye Dizzy! Have fun with Colin tonight!" Grape said with a wink, making Dizzy blush.
Dizzy closed the door and headed upstairs to prepare the room. Once she was up there, she realized how unprepared it was, the bed was bare and most things were rather dusty.
"Oh well better get started..." Dizzy sighed but decided it was worth it as she began dusting. It would take a few hours to clean it all up and it was nearly dinner time already!
"Hey Grape," Colin said as he passed Grape in the street heading to Dizzy's house.
"Oh hey Colin! How are you?"
"I'm good, making dinner for Dizzy tonight!"
"Oh sounds romantic! I won't keep you" Grape said in a slightly teasing voice.
Colin blushed and hurried inside with an embarrassed smile on his face.
He heard Dizzy upstairs and decided to surprise her. He headed into the kitchen and started cooking. He used his magic to speed up the process, and within 30 minutes he was cooking his homemade pasta in boiling water and heating his hand made garlic bread. He set a cloth on the table and the flowers in a vase in the middle. He closed his cooking book as he knew the rest from here.
Dizzy was still cleaning up the guest room for Colin, she was having such problems finding the bed sheets. She heard something downstairs and decided to take a break on cleaning and check it out.
She headed down the stairs as sounds of pots and boiling water were heard more loudly. There was a sweet aroma filling the air, she smelled garlic as well as something else she did not know. Whatever was going on downstairs, she was becoming intoxicated by the mix of senses.
Colin was cutting up his garlic bread and straining out the pasta when he saw Dizzy coming downstairs.
"Hello Dizzy! You're right on time! Dinner is nearly ready!" Colin said.
"Colin... What is all this?" Dizzy asked, amazed and confused.
"Its my thanks for letting me stay here!"
Dizzy blushed at the fact that his room was nowhere near ready.
"Here, come sit down." Colin said pulling out a chair for her.
He finished adding the final ingredients to the pasta and was ready to serve. He made two plates, both having a pile of angel hair pasta and a piece of garlic bread on each. After setting both plates on the table, he too joined Dizzy and sat down.
After a long romantic meal, Colin and Dizzy finished up their meal and the two cleaned up together. By the time they finished cleaning it was very dark out and it was quiet.
"So, I should go see my new room now?" Colin asked.
"Well..." Dizzy blushed a bit from embarrassment but also smiled from what she was thinking, "well I didn't have enough time to get your room ready, and I can't seem to find the bed sheets either..."
"Oh that's ok, I could always run back to Canterlot and stay there! We will figure it out tomorrow." Colin said, not wanting to sound to intrusive.
"Well, I mean...you could sleep with me for tonight...." Dizzy blushed very hard, looking at the floor, "Its much to late, and I can't just ask you to leave after all you did for me."
Colin looked down at the floor too. The black alicorn was blushing so hard he thought his cheeks would cause 1st degree burns upon touch. Still he mustered up the courage to respond.
"I...I would like that, if its really ok with you..." He looked up a bit, and the eyes of the two meet.
"Follow me..." Dizzy led Colin into her bedroom.
Both considered it a romantic ending to a romantic night, even though their night was far from over.
