Chapter 2
It didn't take too long to get back to Ponyville, however it sure as heck wasn't easy. Pointy trees branches, crazy animals, Slenderman (yes he lives in the Everfree Forest, don't ask why!), and complete and utter darkness at some points. Thankfully, the two of them managed to get back home without a scratch on them. Okay, that's actually a lie. They were both covered in cuts, a few bruises, and pieces of tentacle stuck in between their teeth (Hey, how else were they going to escape the Slenderman?) After limping for what felt like days, the two of them finally made their way back to the Castle of Friendship. Upon entering said castle, they were both met with a big yell of "SURPRISE!" by about a few hundred ponies.
"Ahhh! What the hay is going on here?" Spike screamed
"It's a party silly." Pinkie Pie, a pink mare with puffy hair, balloon cutie mark, and...
"Uh, hey. I'm quite sure all of these people know who I am already. So you don't need to introduce me to anyone in your story." Pinkie pie said as a random fourth wall shattered like a hammer on glass.
All of the other ponies, including Spike and Thorax, cocked their eyebrows at what Pinkie was talking about. After a few seconds of just staring at the shattered fourth wall in front of them, and then shrugged it off like nothing ever happened.
"So, uh.." Thorax began "What's going on here?"
Pinkie Pie hopped over towards Thorax and gave her usual trademark smile.
"It's copyrighted, so don't steal it." Pinkie Pie said as she pulled a random cupcake out of her hair and began munching. Not thinking much as yet another fourth wall shattered in the distance. Thorax was starting to get a bit miffed by the lack of answers he was getting, and Spike was equally pissed off at the fact that he had to clean up all the broken fourth walls. Thorax was about to ask the same question that he had asked but a few seconds before, but was interrupted by another fourth wall shattering into pieces.
"WHERE THE HECK ARE THESE THINGS COMING FROM?!" Thorax yelled out in anger
"Eh. Not sure." Pinkie answered before climbing up on a unicycle and juggling small colts like balls.
"Thorax, I think it would be better if we just asked Twilight, or something." Spike said putting a claw on Thorax's back
"Hey, it's not my fault this fanfiction writer isn't bothering to answer your question, but instead is using me as filler for his story in order to get a couple of laughs out of people he doesn't even know about." Pinkie said as more and more fourth walls kept on shattering at every word she uttered out of her mouth.
"Son of a Biscuit eater!" The fanfiction writer yelled at his computer as random people looked at him with confusion at why he was yelling at a desktop computer.
Meanwhile, back at Ponyville, Thorax walked over towards Twilight and Starlight Glimmer, who were at the punch bowl chatting it up. He was hoping to get some answers as to what was happening. He definitely made sure to avoid Pinkie at all cost. He had already had a bad start with her in the past (with her trying to kill him, and whatnot), but now he was just praying that he would just get an answer. As he made his way towards the punch bowl, he tapped Twilight on the shoulder and asked
"Uh. Twilight" Thorax began "What's going on?"
"Oh, well we're having a "Day off" party."
Thorax cocked his head again and asked
"What exactly is that?"
"Exactly as it sounds Thorax. It's basically a party on a day off kind of day. Specifically, like this one." Twilight said as she sipped on her punch
It didn't take long for Thorax to finally get what she was talking about, and he slapped himself for not acknowledging it in the first place.
"Oh...Yes! Dang it , I'm so stupid sometimes. Thank you Twilight for explaining." Thorax said, recovering from the wack he had given himself.
"No problem Thorax. Now why don't you go and clean yourself up a bit, and have some fun with us."
"Sounds good. I honestly can't believe that both Spike and I managed to actually survive that nightmare of a forest." Thorax said shivering
"Oh, and why don't you take Spike with you, he could really use a shower too." Twilight suggested
"Sure thing, I'll get Spike and I'll make sure that we don't take too long." Thorax said as he made his way towards Spike
"Take your time Thorax, take your time." Twilight answered
It didn't take much convincing for Spike to agree to a shower. He knew that he needed one, and bad. Now in order to conserve time, as well as water, both he and Spike usually took showers together. This day was not an exception. As soon as the two of them made their way into the main bathroom, they made their way into the shower. Thorax stood still, and let Spike climb on top of his back and turn on the water. The hot water stung at first, mostly because of all the cuts that the two of them had. After a while, they both relaxed and let the water do its job. After a few minutes of savoring the heated water, Spike grabbed a bottle of aloe shampoo, and after squirting some in his claws, started washing Thorax's mane. Thorax moaned as Spike went deep with his claws, massaging his scalp in the process. Meanwhile, in the next room, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy all congregated next to the wall that separated them from the bathroom that Spike and Thorax were in. They were all blushing like crazy, but Rarity was drooling with excitement at the next peep show that they were going to see. Twilight's horn glowed, and a small beam of blue light covered the wall in front of them. Soon the entire wall, or at least 1/4 of the wall, was casting off what was going on in the next room. Basically this spell would act like a one-way mirror. They could see the two of them in the shower, but Spike and Thorax could not see them. All of the ponies just watched with glee, as they saw Spike cleaning and rubbing Thorax's skull with his claws. It didn't take long for Rarity to faint from the cuteness that she was witnessing. Fluttershy was blushing, and then her wings pomped up, then she really started blushing, Pinkie Pie was giggling, blushing, and eating a bucket of Popcorn as the "show" continued. Twilight just gave off a pervy grin as she watched her friends faces get redder and redder. However all of that was shattered when Starlight walked in on them.
"Hey Twilight, do you know where the..."
She stopped and gazed at the scene in front of her. Twilight and the others (with the exception of Rarity of course) blushing a hard red, their faces filled with surprise, shame, and a bit of wimzy. Starlight looked up at what Twilight was projecting, and her face blushed. She looked back at the ponies looking at her, then back up at the scene in front of her. She just slowly walked out of the room, and closed the door.
"Perverts." Starlight muttered under her breath
