Back at the library, Spike writes in the Mane Six's journal that a true friend won't be angry if you tell them the truth, because they know you care about them. Twilight enters, visibly frazzled, having had to clean up all of the dark magic Rarity was using. She scolds Spike for taking a book from the old castle's library...to which Spike replies that Twilight looks awful. He's just being a good friend by telling her the truth, right?

I Ate What clean up. The trope is when a character eats something, unaware of what they are consuming, and then reacts in disgust after they find out what it is. Misuse will be deleted or moved to another trope when applicable. Administrivia.Zero Context Examples will be removed or commented out depending on the amount of context within the entry. Also, I Ate What is not a character trope.


* IAteWhat: Averted when Spike ''swallows'' the evil tome and it doesn't do a thing to him. It doesn't cure Rarity either, though.

Bad indentation, examples shouldn't refer to each for context.


** As has been mentioned before, you really don't have to be specially evil-detecting to think that a stone-grey book with spikes jutting out of the cover and hidden in a secret locked room of a castle ruin is probably something you should leave alone.

* GRatedDrug: The spell Rarity casts makes Rarity incredibly dependent on it, refusing to let Spike take it away from her, and alters her mind, thus causing her to lose control of herself. Considering that, as stated below, there are references in the episode to both Literature/TheTommyknockers and [[Recap/SavedByTheBellS2E25JessiesSong a rather infamous episode of Saved by the Bell]], this is likely intentional.
