Spike’s Drunken Spree

Chapter 2: Round Up [Part 2]

As Spike and Soarin made their way through the small town of Ponyville, they waved and greeted the familiar faces that they had seen among the crowd. After a long 20 minutes of walking and idle conversation, Spike and Soarin had reached the gates of Sweet Apple Acres. The farm was silent, the only sounds that could be made out were the bucking of apple trees and the apples that fell afterwards.

“Looks like Mac isn’t exactly ‘done’ with his chores… hey, Soarin?” Spike began, stopping to look over to his friend who had also stopped, but couldn’t help but notice the mischievous look etched on Spike’s face.

“Yeah…”

“We should totally scare the hay out of Mac, I’ve never seen him scared. Come to think of it, the guy only has like what, two emotions?” Spike began to think back to his entire time knowing the big farm pony, only to realize he never really showed emotion. Sure, he would talk to them, even if it was brief, but he always sounded like a robot… so very emotionless. “Come to think of it, I don’t think he has any emotion…”

“Yeah little dude, Mac is like a bucking machine. Get it? Bucking machine?... eh~” Soarin asked, while grinning arrogantly at the drake who wasn’t amused with his pun in the slightest.

“Just… no, no Soarin… just no,” Spike was about to face-claw before he realized they hadn’t moved an inch since they got to the farm, “shouldn’t we be getting Big Mac, or do I have to stand here and die from your crappy puns?”

“Oh… heh, heh. That’s right, we still gonna scare him?” Soarin flashed Spike a sheepish smile.

“You bet your sweet ass we are.” Spike was now grinning with contemplation, but before he could forget about Soarin’s pathetic pun, he was hit with something far worse.

“But I don’t know any donkeys…” The look on Soarin’s face showed nothing more than his ignorance. Being the jock that Soarin is, ignorance isn’t something Spike would put past him.

Spike gave into his temptation, and brought his hand to his face, and smacked it against his head, in a loud face-claw, or face-palm. Soarin looked at him, slightly confused, but before he could question the drake, Spike began to walk towards the sound of trees being bucked.

*****

It was as any other day in Sweet Apple Acres, Big Macintosh and his sister were bucking Apples in the east orchard. Soon enough they arrived at the last few trees in the orchard, and Big Macintosh was more than relieved. “Hey AJ?” Applejack turned to see what her older sibling wanted, “Do ya mind if ah go out with Spike today? He’s turning 21, and ah reckon somepony needs to watch after him at the clubs. Ah’d leave it to Shining, Soarin, and Flash, but Celestia knows those stallions aren’t responsible enough to watch him.”

Big Macintosh rarely talked in whole sentences, which Applejack knew meant he was excited for the event, and didn’t see it entirely as a responsibility. “Alright, ya can go, but ah reckon if ya come back to the farm drunk, I’ll buck ya to Canterlot. Now go, ah suppose you should go and get rea-“ the farm pony was stopped mid-sentence by a loud slapping sound coming from the entrance of the farm. “What in tarnation was that?”

“Don’t worry bout it sis, ah reckon it was Spike or one of the guys. If ya want, I can go check it out for ya.” Mac was certain it was his friends, but he would be extra careful regardless. Mac wasn’t scared though, he was never scared of anything.

“Sounds like a good idea, now get a move on, ah’ll take care if these here apple trees.” Applejack began to walk back to the trees, which Big Mac took as his cue to head to the gates of the farm.

“Eeyup.” With that, Big Mac jumped into the nearest tree, and began to jump branch to branch, until he spotted the culprits. It was his friends, Spike, and Soarin. They were walking to where he had been bucking trees last, and he couldn’t help but notice the frustrated look on Spike’s face, as well as the red mark where he must’ve hit himself.

But that wasn’t what caught his eye about the two, they appeared to be sneaking around, avoiding the leaves that had been here and there. Big Mac wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but he could tell when something was amidst.

“Now what in tarnation are those two planin?” Big Mac decided it wouldn’t hurt to ask and leapt out of the tree with a loud thud catching the attention of both Spike and Soarin, who looked like they had seen a ghost.

“WHOA, WHAT THE FUCK?!” Spike screamed after Big Mac had landed behind them, “Where did you even come from?”

Big Mac pointed towards the tree he leapt down from.

“The… tree?” Soarin asked, astonished by the fact that such a large stallion could be nimble enough to hide in a tree.

“Eeyup.” Mac hadn’t shown any emotion since he had touched down, he didn’t so much as flinch when Spike had screamed either.

“Forget it. Anyways are you free now? Me and Spike are having a little pre-party at the library, speaking of that. Hey Spike,” Soarin began, turning his attention away from the stallion, and looking up at the purple dragon next to him. “Is Twilight okay with you having a party at the library? Even if, it’s just the three of us?”

“I don’t see why she wouldn’t be, I’m pretty sure she trusts me, and I am the one who cleans up anyways. And Mac,” Spike turned to Mac, “You’re free today, right?”

“Eeyup.” They then proceeded to walk to the library to have a little get together.

Pretty good. I just hope we get to see a drunk spike soon (sorry, no other Spike emoticons)

Don't worry man, the next chapter begins with them leaving to the club. Drunk Spike will be coming very soon, I added the romance tag for what he does when he blacks out, and the consequences that follow.
