//------------------------------// // Good idea gone bad // Story: The Troublesome Six // by Madgod Vatuu //------------------------------// "All right time to see whats on the list." "Um Twilight everything is checked we been through this in the morning."Spike said as a pile of paper was behind him leaving Twilight with a embarrassing blush. "I'm sorry Spike this is the first time we have to solve a friendship problem from the dragon lands!"Twilight couldn't contain her excitement. "I know Twi but why do I have to stay? I'm sure that Ember would love to see me." "Spike now that she is a dragon lord she will be more busy than ever." Twilight said seeing the upset dragon leaving the room."I know that you are upset Spike but at least Starlight will keep you coming?" Twilight thought that will cheer him up however no luck as he went to his side of the chair of the cutie map. Twilight sigh and decided it was best to leave him alone for a while. Couple minutes later "Alright Starlight I need watch Spike while we head out." "Okay seems ea-" Starlight was interrupted as Twilight pulled out a list from her saddlebags. "I taken the liberty of everything Spike likes and this will help you to help you two bond as well. "Twilight is this even ne- "Spike will be glad for what fun both of you will have,I would love to stay chat some more but I have to get going! Bye Starlight!" Before Starlight could answer the door close. Starlight threw the list on the floor. She knew how to take care of Spike yet Twilight still babies him.She enter the room and sees Spike reading a new issue of the power ponies comic. "Powerponies,The revenge of the hooflum mare!" Starlight chuckled getting Spike's attention. "You really likes those comic do you?" She asked Spike who repiled with nod."I thought that those comic can suck you up inside the story?" "Neh I stop going to that shop after that accident. Imagine if we faced the snowmare then we will be in deep trouble!" "Yeah hey want to go to sugar cube corner to get a quick bite? I'm buying." "Really! Alright! I been craving a sapphire cupcake for a while." "Okay just calm down now let me go back to my room to get my bits."Starlight trotted upstairs.Spike place his comic on top of the cutie map however accidentally falls off the table and landed on the ground.Spike quickly grabs the book to see it was damage although one page from the comic gave Spike a thought. "Hmmm this could work." Spike mumbled while at the same time ran out the door along with a old book from the shelves. "Okay Spike I found my bits now-" Just as Starlight descended down the stairs she could see the castle was empty but more importantly she couldn't find Spike. "I am in big trouble now!" At the moment she imagine Twilight's rage quickly moving her hoofs to the door while she tries desperately to find Spike all over Ponyville. "Where is he!" Starlight kept shouting. "How can one dragon disappear already!" Everfree Forest. "Seriously why is everything located in this sticking forest?" Spike thought to himself stumbling in a cave."This must be it." Spike continue to travel forward seeing the mirror pool in front of him. "Now what was the rhymes again?"Spike grabbed the book and quickly read the rhyme. "Let see....Where the brambles are thickest, there you will find A pond beyond the most twisted of vines and into her own reflection she stared, Yearning for one whose reflection she shared, And solemnly sweared not to be scared At the prospect of being doubly mared." "Lets hope my clone isn't a girl." Spike waited for his clone to step out yet nothing stepped out."Um hello? Its me Spike you can come out now!" Spike waited and waited but his clone never came out."Maybe it's a pony thing." Spike mumbled sadly leaving the cave. After he left the pool begin to bubble. Ponyville "This is bad! I can't believe I lost Spike! Twilight may never speak or worst I have to leave Ponyville." Starlight kept prancing around thinking what to do."Maybe I could have the town form a search party, yeah maybe I could tell Trixie to help out." Starlight was about to head out the door until the door opened revealing the purple dragon who is wearing a green overalls and yellow rubber boots for some reason. "Spike! Thank goodness your okay!" "Eeep!" Starlight blinked for a minute. Was Spike try to imitate Fluttershy? "Spike are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine just hungry!" A familiar voice was heard by the door. Starlight turned her head seeing Spike in front of her. "Wait if your Spike then who am I ...."Starlight took one look of the "Spike" she was holding.The only response she could do was this. She fell on her back and fainted. "This is not good." Spike said hearing a eep from his clone."Now what do we do with you?" Spike said to the clone who fainted as well from Spike comment towards him. "Well for certain your name is Flutterspike." Spike said to himself as he grab a blanket from his room and place it on top of them. "I guess I have to wait now."Spike thought hearing his stomach growling."Hey friends come first then food!" Spike shouted at his stomach which remained quiet."That's better!"
