“Wow, I can’t believed we climbed to the peak of Dragon Mountain, but it was worth it.” Rumble panted in exhaustion. “So are we really gonna go all the way?”
“We went all the way to the peak of Dragon mountain! How far do we have to go already?!?! Can’t we just make out?” Scootaloo angrily waved her flank in Rumble’s face.
“Uh, Scootaloo what are you doing?” Rumble asked awkwardly.
“Stare at my Cutie Mark and think about awesome it is!” Scootaloo commanded.
“Uh… Scootaloo…” Rumble stammered in fear. “What do you think ‘making out’ is?”
“WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS???” Scootaloo screamed at her victim.
For years after that day when questioned on the subject, Rumble would only respond, “Weird”, “Creepy”, and “That was NOT ‘making out’ man!”
-=-=-=-=-
“Scootaloo we want ya to know we’re your friends.” Apple Bloom addressed the assembled Crusaders, including Gabby, but sans Babs and Pip, who had other pressing business at sugar cube corner.. “We’re not here to make fun of ya. And we’re not here to laugh at ya. We got that all out of our systems before the meeting and we are here to help ya.”
“Making out does not involve stabbing with arrows or flank waving.” Sweetie Belle cut in with a stern but authoritarian voice. “It’s just Prench kissing and mane petting and stuff.”
“Wow, that actually kinda make sense, but you’ve gotta go ‘all the way’ to the most awesome place you can find to make it count more!” Scootaloo beamed with newfound knowledge. “It all makes sense! So if I can take Spike all the way to somewhere really awesome and we Prench kiss and he pets my mane then I can still win this! Scootaloo is still in the game!”
“Do you even remember what this was even all about?” Apple Bloom rolled her eyes and heaved a long sigh, knowing what responce to expect. “None of this works how you think it does Scootaloo.”
“THAT'S NOT THE POINT!” Scootaloo screamed. “Still. In. The. Game.”
“I hate to be the one to keep blurting out the obvious, but you kind of sank that ship when you made Spike fall in love with Pinkie Pie.” Sweetie Belle shank back as she delivered the unfortunate truth.
-=-=-=-=-
“Wow Pinkie Pie, you’re the cutest most awesome pony ever” Little heart shapes bubbled in Spike’s eyes.
“It’s a good thing you brought him straight here.” Twilight spoke grimmy. “This is definitely the work of a cursed artifact.:” After a moment of thought she added, “Starlight? I need you to investigate a certain magic shop. Actually take Trixie, it’ll make a good friendship lesson.”
Starlight Glimmer rolled her eyes and walked out of the room.
“Do you think you can snap him out of it?” Pinkie leaned in with concern causing the monitors attached to the dragon's head to practically explode with activity,
“Wow, Pinkie, I can’t believe I never noticed how incredibly cute you are.” Spike sighed in a dreamy voice.
“Yeah I know, right?” Pinkie rolled her eyes, and then turned on Twilight. “But you can fix him?”
“Oh sure reversing the spell should be easy at this point.” Twilight nodded absent before furrowing her brows, “and you say all this started with Scootaloo trying to make out with Spike?”
“Uh huh.” Pinkie nodded. “We had all been playing a little O&O over at the Apple farm and I got twitch so I went back check on Spike.”
“Well it’s good thing you brought him straight here, had you done anything at all to reinforce the enchantment then we could have real problems”
“Weelll, Twilight, it’s kinda like this…” Pinkie absently traced random patterns on the floor with her hoof.
“Pinkamena Diane Pie, what did you do?” Twilight sparkle cast her most annoyed glare on her friend. “You made out with Spike didn’t you?”
“All the back to Ponyville.” Pinkie grinned sheepishly.
“Pinkie Pie! We haven’t even figured out if he counts as an adult pony or a baby dragon yet!” Twilight groaned and face hoofed. “Honestly I don’t know if I’m a really cool big sister or a really horrible mother! We’re in uncharted territory here Pinky Pie! You can’t just make out with Spike!””
“This was never such a big deal when Rarity was fawning over him.” Pinkie Grumped.
“It’s no problem. I’ll just ask Celestia. Making out with Spike probably isn’t a criminal offense. Spike take a… oh right.” Twilight continued he panicked rampage.
“Sweetie Belle told me all about what happened, where’s my little Spikey Wikey?” Rarity burst in the room in a full fit of hysterics.
“Oh, hi Rarity, what’s up?” Spike waved absently from the examination table.
“Oh my! It’s worse than I thought! Twilight, you have to undo this evil enchantment!” Rarity grabbed the princess in her hooves and shook her just for emphasis.
“...and you’re more fun than Rarity, and you’re a better cook than Rarity, and…” Pinkie Pie just grinned while Spike continued to list all the ways she was a better crush than Rarity.
“You CAN fix this right?” Rarity exclaimed.
“Well there’s been a complication…” Twilight rubbed the back of her head.
“It’s just a love arrow darling it’s not that complicated, unless somepony seals the curse with a…” Rarity suddenly stopped dead and shot her pink friend her most evil glare. “Pinkie Pie! You didn’t?!?!?”
“Oh, yeah, and you’re super good at making out!” Spike suddenly added to the list. “I almost forgot about that, thanks Rarity!”
“Spikey Wikey! Do not listen to this brazen pink… hussy!” Rarity stomped her well manicured hoof.
“Hey!” Pinkie Pie glared at her friend. “I didn’t call you any nasty names!”
“But you can’t just ‘make out’ with Spikey Wikey!” Rarity sobbed.
“That’s what I keep trying to tell her!” Twilight fumed in frustration. “I’m not even sure if he’s legally a minor or not!”
“Wait, what now?” Rarity blinked rapidly. “Of course he’s not a minor! We take him with us on life or death missions all the time.”
“Yeah, Dragon Rules, it’s complicated.” Spike shrugged from the examination table.
“What in Tirek’s flank, Pinkie Pie?!?!” Rainbow Dash burst through the door. “You totally plot-blocked Scootaloo! Do you know how messed up that is?”
“Actually, darling, as I was just saying, Spike clearly counts as an adult pony.” Rarity asserted. “It would be, as you put it, ‘messed up’ if Spike were to involve himself with Scootaloo, a filly who is obviously both mentally and emotionally far less mature! What is ‘messed up’ is that Pinkie Pie has stolen my poor Spikey Wikey!”
“Dammit Pinkie Pie, stop making out with Spike! What if you get pregnant!” Twilight suddenly screamed, drawing all attention on the two embarrassed love birds. “And he’s strapped to an examining table for Celestia’s sake.
“I really can’t understand why I couldn’t see before that you liked me like this” Spike grinned stupidly. “I mean the hot air balloon. The burlesque number.”
“So can we fix him?” Pinkie Pie put on her most serious face.
“It would be easier if you would stop making out with Spike.” Twilight grumbled. “Are you booping his nose?”
“What? We were just making out right here!” Pinkie leered. “If anything nose boops are a step down.”
“Pinkie, what if you get pregnant?” Twilight growled.
“Making out and nose boops Twilight.” Pinkie reiterated intensely.
“Where do you think foals come from Pinkie Pie?” Twilight demanded.
“I hate to be the one who answers a question with a question, but where do YOU think foals come from?” Pinkie Pie looked directly in your eyes and whispered. “I don’t think she actually knows.”
7839190 Yep, cause that's how Scootaloo rolls.
7838925 Yeah, If I gotta do this in chapters, I figure I better let go of the "E" rating.
7838959 There IS a chapter 3. But did you really think I was gonna answer that question? We all must carry our own ashes unto the mountain, and we all must decide for ourselves who is the cutest crusader.
A funny story with a Pinkie Spike ship. Please continue
....
BRO , you just made a bomb ass story
keep it going
Years later
Future Spike: And that's how I met your mother, Laughter.
Laughter: Awww that was the most romantic story I have ever heard. Even after hearing for the eighth time when you talked about the others moms.
... Twilight seriously never had 'the talk'? And yet she's acting like she thinks she has?
7839622 Don't think of it as losing or winning. You were obviously unaware there was a problem, you were made aware of it, it was rectified. Adding that a mod ordered you to do it in this way is not really necessary, there is no point in being upset when you are asked to follow site rules and then do so. You weren't banned and you didn't have your story deleted or anything.
7839726 I'm guessing Twilight got "the talk", but it was short on specifics, and being a shut in until she became a princess, she never really made the "special hug" connection. For all she knows it's some kind of magic ritual that may or may not involve nose booping. But she knows it ussually starts with making out.
Why do I get the feeling that the source of Twilight's misinformation comes from the last one we would expect?
Pinkie Pie
grumped
her.
Poor Rumble, I'd ask what he went through but I best let the matter go(Even though I really want to know)
Well, now that Scootaloo knows what making out is...sorta, things can only escalate from there. Even more so considering the Crusaders are involved.
The reason the mods want you to post them as chapters is because the way you've written them, they look and read less like separate stories and more like chapters of the same story. The mods don't have anything against you, they just don't want people abusing the system. I think some people must have posted multiple chapters as multiple stories so that their stories would make it to the feature box en mass, winning themselves exposure at the expense of other writers. That's the most probable explanation for that rule, in my opinion. And there is a rule against posting chapters as separate stories; there has been for a while. Your stories made more sense as chapters, so the mods want you posting them that way.
how
Sugar Cube Corner
WTF man? Shanked her in the back...oh 'shrank back'comedic gold.
a, to
way
I think that should be 'weren't'
ALERT ALERT Pink Ghost has made a break in the 4th wall again!
This needs a lot of proofreading.
It's being featured right now, !/3/17
7838905 that doesn't mean I'm wrong...
7839549 Great series--this just got fav'd!
7840850 Thanks. I honestly can't believe it got featured! I just wish the mods had given me some warning before they deleted the sequel. But it just got folded back into the first one and became another chapter.
7839755 Well you see, that's the thing. I was made aware of it when they deleted the second story after it had been posted and featured. That was how I was informed there was a problem. And honestly had both not made it to the featured box at the same time, it never would have come up. I'm not even sure how that happened, I never even had one story do this well, much less two. And now it's one again. That's how these things go.
7840959 Yeah usually my stories are written for a much smaller audience and my friend's just point out the typos and I fix them later. I'm not sure by what fluke this story got featured, honestly. Unexpectly thrown in the shark tank, what can ya do?
I'm guessing Celestia never had "the talk" with Twilight. Please, write that.
7840871 Enh, it happens. You're doing great work and I hope to read more about the Crusaders' adventures in finding out whom's the cutest...and Spike's furthering relationship with PInkie PIe...
...especially once it wears off and he realizes he made out with her...all the way...behind the castle...
7841007 My guess is that the version of "the talk" that Twilight got was very vague, and the poor little book horse took alot of metaphors a leetle too serious.
7839988 I swear I'ma get to those typos dude. Working 12 hour days and spiting much more... unpleasant... critics at the moment though.

Well.... this is getting complicated
I was about to tell you that this way to "mature" to be rated E. But than I realized two things.
1: you probably won't see this.
2: you already changed the rating.
This story just toke a strange turn, and I love it!
The answer is Scootaloo, of course. I just saved you all the read.
Just kidding, read this because it's good! Scootaloo is still the right answer though, right author? Riiiiiight?
EDIT: I regret reading this comment section. I want to kill myself now.
7840917 Well, that could have been handled better.
If it makes you feel any better, my very first story I ever published on the site was approved despite it being what was called at the time a "manual" (not so much a story as a how to guide) so it was wildly popular for about a day, then unpublished. I had to scramble to write a story around the text I had written.
You may ask how that's similar to your situation, and it's not very much so, except that both of us have had things become popular while technically breaking the rules. In your case you still have your original story in the box, and had to make your sequel into a new chapter.
The point of all of this is, while your case could have been handled better, it was handled correctly. They don't want people posting chapters as stories. If your first chapter didn't resolve the issue that's what new chapters are for. It's okay to be mildly upset that it was handled badly, but continuing to be angry and putting that on your story is only going to attract people who think it's fun to fuck with angry people.
It's okay, you had some unexpected success, things went wrong, just breath and move on.
Let's hope the Pie sisters didn't get wind of this
.............DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!
7841032 No worries, but don't stress yourself out over this, if others get word happy LET EM'. At the end of the day nothing is ruined, just reorganised, let it go! I'm worried about Kudz at the moment, he's hurting and not saying to us why, hope he's not suffering excess X-mas depression or something. Don't need you there too.
