//------------------------------// // And the Winner is... // Story: Spike Pie // by Silver Butcher //------------------------------// Pinkie and the rest of the apple family sat awkwardly in front of Applejack. "Care to explain?" AJ asked. "We all thought Spike would win if we fought." Pinkie said bluntly with a shrug. "Eeyup." "yeah." "Shoot, he's a dragon, no contest." AJ looked at her family and sighed. "Who started this?" she demanded. there was silence, then the four started mumbling amongst themselves. after a few minutes, Pinkie looked Applejack in the eye. "It was either me, Spike, Aloe, or lotus." She said, "But I don't remember."Pinkie replied, followed by Applejack sighing. "I'm gonna go make a call." AJ said as she left the room "Don't do anything stupid, I'll be back as soon as I can." AJ turned and left the room. "Alright let's go get you back to the battle, Spike can't win if you're not there," Applebloom said as she got up and looked out the window. "I'll tell you once she's gone so you can get back to it." "What about you guys?" "Eh, we got work to do anyway, just tell us who wins," Granny said as she got up. Meanwhile Spike sat awkwardly on Fluttershy's couch and sipped some tea while Fluttershy nodded her head. "...and that's all that's happened correct?" "Yeah," Spike said awkwardly as he sat on the lap of a Bear who was holding him firmly in place, "I think that's about it." Fluttershy sat quietly and sipped her tea. "I'm not Mad...just Disappointed" "I...I think I'd prefer if you were mad at me actually" Spike replied, "Disappointing you is just upsetting." Fluttershy took another sip "I expect better behavior from you and Pinkie, and it hurts me to say this, But I'm gonna have to Do something Drastic, stay here, I'll be back once I confirm Pinkie has the same story and if so, we're making the call." Fluttershy got up and walked out of the room, as soon as she was Gone he looked up at the bear. "Please release me Mr.Bear." He pleaded, the Bear looked down and Spike smiled "Sorry but Fluttershy's gone, and I don't obey any law's of physics!" The Bear blinked and Spike was gone and the Bear jumped up, after looking around for a moment the Bear sat back down and questioned if Spike had ever really existed in the first place. The Mob had completely dissolved into madness when the two returned in unison. "Spike!" Pinkie yelled out "Pinkie!" Spike replied, there was a moment of silence, then the two yelled out "PREPARE TO WIN!" and they charged each other, Pinkie rolling down on her Canon and Spike on a trolly cart holding an Industrial sized bottle of Bubble soap. Pinkie fired her canon, Spike jumped up and Chugged the soap, he took a deep breath and Spat out millions of bubbles at Pinkie, Pinkie jumped off her canon and threw a cake at Spike's open mouth, Spike swallowed the cake and the two collided in the air, with a loud thud, the two hit the ground, leaving holes shaped like them. They both popped out and faced each other, Pinkie was armed with a Rubber chick, Spike had a Balloon Sword. The two ran at each other, and with little effort, Pinkie's Chicken slapped Spike in the face, Spike fell down but Wrapped his tail around Pinkie's hooves and she tumbled to the ground with him. as the fight continued Twilight watched from her Telescope from Oak Library, next to her was Fluttershy and Applejack "Well, you were right, there fighting again." Twilight sighed and called into the Library "Owlicious grab me that address the Cake's gave me, I know just who to call upon to end this." Twilight turned and waited for Owlicious, who flew through a nearby window and handed her the note, in his other hand, was a scroll. "Dinner should be read when you're done with your Deliveries." "Thanks, Twi," he said as he turned and flew in the Direction of Canterlot, as he flew off Applejack turned to Twilight "Is that your letter to the Princess?" "What! no, I send that myself with Magic, but the company that deliveries our paper and Ink supply only accept letters by hand, and I need to stop that" Twilight motioned to the fight that was still going down, the Siblings were now attacking each other with Rolling Pins. Twilight read the Adress and Teleported away. Applejack and Fluttershy turned back and watched in disappointment as the two continued there pointless fight. "I'm gonna get smashed into the ground," Spike said, now armed with a Frying Pan. "I'm not gonna know what hit me!" Pinkie retorted now armed with a Roller, the two changed and prepared for a heavy strike only for a Single voice to ring out "ENOUGH!" The two Froze in horror and turned to look at its owner, standing next to Twilight was none other than their mother, Cloudy Quartz, the town stood in confused silence until the two yelled in terror "MOM!" they asked, this caused a ripple effect of absolute silence, the mob watched as Cloudy walked over to her children looking miffed. "You two are coming home with me right now!" "But..." Spike started, but shut it as soon as she turned to him, she pointed to Twilight with a hoof. "Your Father and I want a Word with you." "That's...not to bad." Pinkie quivered, scared of her next sentence. "After that, your gonna wait until Limestone finishes her work..." the two instantly got on their knee's "NO PLEASE DON'T TELL LIMESTONE!" The begged as they were surrounded in Twilight's Aura, "WE'LL NEVER FIGHT AGAIN!" their mother looked down at them "You should have thought about that before you started" and with that the three where Teleported away. the Mob stood in silence Until Twilight raised her voice "Alright, you all got your answer, if Spike and Pinkie were to fight, the winner would be their Mother, now go on, Scatter all of you!" as the Mob disbanded Twilight sighed "Thank Celestia that's over" and she teleported to Oak Library to deliver the news to Applejack and Fluttershy. After a minute Aloe and Lotus were the only ones left "I feel bad about starting this" Lotus sighed "As do I," Aloe confirmed.
