//------------------------------// // Part 1 // Story: Please Come Back, Spike // by CAPTAIN YOSHI HD //------------------------------// Two purple scaly feet danced around the front yard of the Castle of Friendship. Spike was doing his ballet dances in the bright sun shining down on Ponyville. He twirled on his tip-toes and leaped with grace. Rarity and Twilight beamed at every move Spike did, whether it's leaning back and lifting his foot up wit his toes pointing to the air or twirling on his toes. "I feel like I'm getting better.", Spike said. "You are getting better.", Twilight said. "In fact, you're already really good at it, Spike. You've taken ballet classes for a while. Well, you haven't in a while since we left Canterlot." "But, seriously, Spike.", Rarity said. "Since when did you ever take ballet classes. I mean, you're a dragon boy. Won't any fillies make fun of you if you did ballet dance moves in front of them." Spike raised his eyebrow with a smirk. "I'm sure it's fine, Rarity.", he said. "Apple Bloom took me to that one ballet place where she found fillies and colts dancing." The rest of the mane 7 were sitting on benches perched in front of the castle. Although Trixie Lulamoon and Starlight Glimmer were standing on the ground. Next to them, Trixie had a wardrobe, a stand for her robe and hat for magic, and a table with a top hat under a cloth. The Cutie Mark Crusaders, on the other hoof, were sitting on the ground underneath their sisters' hooves. "I didn't see any ballet dancers in there Spike.", Apple Bloom said. "They were dancing as dance partners. Plus, I didn't see them wearing tutus." "In fact, you're not even wearing a tutu.", Scootaloo said. She held a hoof to her mouth, trying to hold back a laugh. "It would be pretty funny if you wore a tutu." "Oh, well, ha ha ha, that's real funny, Scootaloo.", Sweetie Belle said. "That was no excuse to call Spike off like that." "I wasn't calling him off.", Scootaloo said. She looked up at Rainbow Dash. "Was I?" Rainbow Dash looked down at her sister between her hooves. "I would say 'yes', but I couldn't say 'no'.", she said. "Would you say 'maybe'?", Fluttershy asked. "I might.", Rainbow Dash said. "I'm with Rainbow on this one, I might say that too.", Applejack said. "Well, we had enough with watching silly ballet dance moves, me and Starlight are going to do some magic spells.", Trixie said, as she and Starlight walked over to her stuff. "Can you stand on your claws?", Pinkie Pie asked. "That's not ballet, Pinkie. That's acrobatic.", Rainbow Dash said. "Can you do other moves like that, Spikey?", Rarity asked. "I can do the move where I jump backwards and land on my claws and do the same thing over and over again until I need to stop.", Spike said. He jumped backwards and landed on his claws, then he jumped back on his feet, he did the same with his claws and he didn't notice something that was behind him. He bumped into the wardrobe, causing it to fall on its side. He fell, catching Trixie's magician cloak. But, the cloak didn't fall, the stand tilted with the cloak still attached to it, it ripped. Trixie gasped in shock as she saw the rip. "My... my poor cloak.", she said with tears in her eyes. "Oh dear.", Starlight said. "I hope the damage isn't too major." Trixie's face turned red as she looked at Spike with an angry look. "YOU!", she bellowed. "Whoa. Trixie?!", Starlight yelped, as her pupils shrunk while watching Trixie bring out her rage. "YOU RIPPED MY CLOAK!", Trixie shouted. "Oh my gosh!", Spike gasped as he looked at the rip. "I'm so sorry, Trixie. I did not see the wardrobe." "YOU'RE SORRY?! YOU SORRY?!", Trixie yelled. "YOU SHOULD FEEL SO BAD ABOUT WHAT YOU DID! I HAD THAT FOR YEARS!" "Trixie, what are you doing?", Starlight asked, getting a little close to her friend. She wanted to touch her shoulder to turn her around, but she's worried that she might flip out harder. "It can be fixed.", Spike said, trying to calm Trixie. "Can it?" "SPIKE, IT'S TOTALLED!", Trixie said. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT!" "I just said I was sorry.", Spike said. "Like I said, it can be fixed. Rarity can sew it." "He's right, Trixie.", Starlight said. "Rarity can just-" "SPIKE, I TOLD YOU, IT'S RUINED!", Trixie shouted. "YOU CANNOT BE FIXED! THERE'S NO WAY!" "Please, can you stop shouting at me, so we can fix this?", Spike asked, sobbing. "NO!", Trixie bellowed. "IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT! SPIKE, YOU ARE A GOOD FOR NOTHING PIECE OF SHIT WHO'S NOTHING BUT A STUPID DOOR MAT!" She darted her face at Twilight. "TWILIGHT, SINCE THIS DRAGON IS NOTHING BUT A BAD BRAT, I'M FORCING YOU TO MAKE HIM LEAVE!" Twilight gasped and ran to Spike to hug. "No way.", she said, hugging her poor dragon. "I am not letting Spike go, I love him." "DO IT OR I'LL TURN YOU INTO A LADYBUG AND SMASH YOU!", Trixie screamed. Twilight sighed with sadness in her eyes. "Spike, I have no choice but to set you free." She broke the embrace between her and Spike. "Go, Spike. Go and never come back." She pushed him away with a hoof as tears fell down her face. Spike began to cry and ran off into Ponyville. "I'll miss you so much, Spike.", Twilight said, sitting down and burying her face in her hooves while crying. "Good, he's gone.", Trixie said. "Nopony has go near that stupid, clumsy dragon ever again. If he thinks he'll return one day, he'll see what happens once I get through with him. Come on, Starlight. Lets go to my wagon and do spells." Starlight didn't follow in her steps. She just glared at her. Trixie turned around to see Starlight's glare. "Starlight?", she asked. "Words cannot describe how upset I am at you, Trixie.", Starlight snorted. "You forced Twilight to send Spike away. How could you do that?" "He must up my cloak, Starlight.", Trixie said. "Are you taking his side for that?" "No.", Starlight said. "He was trying to tell you that Rarity can fix it, but you keep denying it. He said sorry to you, but you denied that too. Friends forgive each other if they did something wrong. But, denying apologies, friends don't do that. What kind of friend are you? Refusing to accept apologies. Trixie, I'm going to say this at the bottom of my heart that I can't trust you anymore." Trixie gasped in shock. Starlight turned to see Twilight's friends comforting her. She toward them and joined in the comforting. "Starlight.", Trixie said. "I thought more of you than that, Trixie.", Starlight said. "I can't believe you did that." She turned to the crying Twilight and patted her on the back. "I think you should leave and don't come back." Trixie felt terrible. She grabbed her things with her magic and started her walk back to the wagon.
