//------------------------------// // Things Escalate Quickly // Story: Flurry Heart and Spike // by Silver Butcher //------------------------------// Spike turned on one of the Ovens and Flurry levitated over the utensils needed to make their treats. Spike tapped his head as he tried to remember the recipe, "Alright, we're gonna need sugars, butter, vanilla, salt, eggs, and..." Spike produced a small vial full of a Pink Liquid form his Apron Pocket "...This!" "What is it?" Flurry asked in awe "No idea, It's Pinkies secret ingredient and only she can make it." "Why don't you know it?" "If I knew it then it wouldn't be a secret." Flurry looked at Spike like he was stupid "Hey don't blame me, that's just the Answer Pinkie always gave me when I asked" Flurry looked at the half-full vile "Why do you have some with you?" She asked as she lite her horn and began retrieving the things he had asked for. "Flurry as soon as I was asked to babysit you for the week I ordered this vile, I Thought you might like to try some Pinkie pie only cookies," Spike said as he picked up a large mixing bowl and measuring cups and began measuring ingredients for their food. "You talk about Pinkie pie a lot." "Do I? If you want we can talk about something else, Have I told you about my Friend Pumpkin?" He asked as he continued measuring out the ingredients, he poured some of them in the bowl and Flurry began stirring it with her magic. "You told me about her in on of your last letters, you mentioned something about flooding the Library?" "We also Flooded the Gala," Spike said as he cracked two eggs and dropped them in the bowl. "You did that!? Mom said Discord did it." "He took the fall for us," Spike said as he watched her stir "Try not to stir to fast, we want as much of the batter to stay in the bowl as we can" Flurry slowed down her stirring "Is Pumpkin nice?" She asked "Shes...not very open to making friends, but yes she's rather Kind." Spike smiled "I don't think either of us will forget the first time we meet." "What happened?" "We flooded Twilights castle" "So from what I hear you two can't be trusted with water?" "I'll have you know that we flooded the Gala with Cake! not water" "What!?" Flurry asked as Spike began rooting around for a cooking sheet. "Did I forget to mention that part? it was great!" Flurry snorted "Your weird." Spike pulled out a Cookiesheet "Yeah, but you love me for it. infact..!" Spike posed like a ballarina and spun "..It's my best quality!" Flurry started laughing as Spike did three spins then set down the cookiesheet and bagan mesuring out the cookiedough. Flurry stood back and watched as Spike picked up the tray and with a deepbreath flamed the cookies. after continuiously blowing flames Spike stopped and smiled "Cooked to perfection" he said as he took one off the tray, he took a bite "Way to hot to eat tho, have to let them cool" Spike turned to Flurry "We can have them after Dinner" Flurry froze "But Dinner's not for another hour" she said as she took a step back "And that means.." "Yup!" Spike said as he turned to her "Bath Time!" Spike jumped and she teleported away cauing Spike to faceplant "ow" Spike groaned as he pulled himself off the floor "For the record, this is why I don't visit more often!" he said as he rubbed his snout, he was met with Silence "Flurry Heart! Come out right now!" He called out as he packed up the Cookies and placed them in a Refrigerator. Once again there was silence "And this is why I gave us an hour for a bath" he sighed "Alright, I'm gonna find you even if it kills me!" Spike looked around "Tho hopefuly it won't" Spike opened a door and walked in, he walked in and the door slammed behind him with a loud click "No." he said as he turned and tried to open the door only to find it locked. "Sorry Spike." "YOU ARE NOT SORRY!!!" Spike yelled back threw the door as he hit against the door only to stop "WHY DOES THIS DOOR LOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE!?" "I reversed the locks" "We've been doing things all day! you need a bath." "But I don't wanna take a bath!" Flurry whined "And I didn't wanna dress like a princess or get locked in a room." But both of thoese things have happened today." "I'll let you out...if you Pinkie Promis not to make me take a Bath." "I'm not gonna promis that! im excpecualy not gonna Pinkie promis it!" there was silence "Flurry?" Silence "Flurry?" more silence "FLURRY HEARTH!!!" Spike yelled angrily, still only silence "I've been locked in a room" Spike looked around walked to the window, he opened it and looked out, he was on the 5th story, "a fall from this hight would kill me...or at the very least seriously injure me." Spike looked around and tried to think of a plan, finaly the only one he could think of came to fluition "This is either gonna get me out of here, or get me killed." Spike took a deep breath "Flurry you have 5 seconds to open the door or I'm jumping out the Window." Silence "5" nothing "4" still nothing "3" not a word "2" Spike looked to the door, not a sound "Oh this is gonna suck!" Spike took a deep breath and Jumped out of the Window "I WAS RIGHT!!" He Yelled, imediatly regreting his decision, he flew to the ground only to be stopped midair, he looked back to see Flurry hanging out the window levitating him "WHY DID YOU JUMP OUT A WINDOW!!" She screamed at him "YOU COULD HAVE HURT YOURSELF" "YOU LOCKED ME IN A ROOM!" Spike called back "AND I WAS NOT SPENDING SERVERAL HOURS LOCKED IN A ROOM!" Spike pointed at her to speak only for her to drop him in a bush, there was silence then Spike's roar rang out across the empire "YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!!" He yelled as he ran twords the front door, only to be teleported. he blinked and found himself locked in the room again. Flurry waited outside the door "Are you still mad Spike?" She asked, she fell back when she heard Spike scream followed by a bone chilling Crack! She imediatly opened the door and found Spike with his head in the wall. he pulled away and left a Spike face implant in it, he took a deep breath and blew steam threw his nose, then turned to Flurry "Alright, relax" he said "your not in trouble, your not gonna be punished, and I won't tell your parents, but only if you let me give you a bath." "But I don't wanna bath." "But you need a Bath, and I need one now as well" he said motioning to his scuffed and leafy scales, now come one." Flurry murmered angrily Spike sighed "I should have just started with this...Flurry you have 5 second to agree to take a bath...or no more Cookies from me... "But.." "..Ever!" Flurry froze "No more Tea partys, and no more Pillow forts, you wanna treat me like your parents, then I'll treat you like a child instead of like a friend, got it?" Flurry lip quivered "5.." "Fine!" Flurry said angrily "I'll take a bath" She turned moodiy and Spike sighed "Thank Celestia" he leaned over and picked her up and she muttered "Can I still have my cookied?" and Spike laughed "For Dessert, now lets go get cleaned up, we're filty!"
