//------------------------------// // Pinkie Pie’s Regretful Outrage On Spike // Story: Pinkie Pie’s Regretful Outrage On Spike // by Lonely Fanboy48 //------------------------------// “Wow! Nice Spread!” Spike exclaimed happily as Pinkie Pie presented him a whole plate of gems. Of course, it made the dragon crave for them, and creatures like them can chomp on them faster than any pony would say a phrase regarding diamonds or jewels. As for Pinkie Pie, she had something in mind as she walked by him. Suddenly, she then rapidly took out and set up a desk light, and her toothless alligator, Gummy, bit Spike’s tail. “It’s all yours, Spike. All you have to do is... talk.” “That’s it? Oh, you got it.” Spike couldn't find anything to say at the least, but decided to go with it. “Okay… uh, beautiful weather we’re having, eh? I love a sunny day, don’t you? The birds chirpin’ and the flowers bloomin’... I mean-“ “No, no, no. Talk about our friends.” Pinkie corrected. Spike nodded. “Oh, okay Let’s see, there’s Twilight Sparkle - She’s a unicorn. Good with Magic, A real brainiac... And then you got Rarity - Total knockout. I mean, Twilight seems to think I don’t even have a chance with her, but… eh, what does she know? Anyway, There’s… there’s Fluttershy, a Pegasus who’s afraid of heights. Heh, what’s up with that?” Pinkie became more annoyed and furious at Spike’s random details. She impatiently approached to Spike’s face with her eyes looking straight to his. “Grr! No! You’re not understanding me! I want you to confess!” “Confess?” Spike tilted her head. “Confess!” Pinkie yelled. “Okay! Okay! I’m the one who spilled juice all over Twilight’s copy of “Magical Mysteries and Practical Potions!” “And?” Pinkie expected more from him. “...And I used up all the hot water in Ponyville yesterday when I took a seven-hour bubble bath!” “Aaand?” “...And sometimes… when no one’s around… I do this” He took out a mirror and stood in front of it to flex his muscles. “Lookin’ good, Spike! Lookin’ real good!” Pinkie Pie felt awkward and confused at Spike’s personal secret, and pushed the mirror away from Spike. “No! No! No! No!” “W- Well, What do you wanna hear? Tell me what you want me to say, and I’ll say it!” Spike boasted in concern. He couldn’t take the stress he was getting from Pinkie Pie, but things get worse when she came close to him. “Are my friends are all lying to me? Are they avoiding me because they don’t like my parties? Are they saying they don’t want to be my friends anymore?!” Pinkie shouted uncontrollably at Spike, panting in anger. Spike grew light tears, but he still managed to say what she wants him to say. The problem is whether or not she would believe him. “Okay! Your friends are all lying to you, avoiding you ‘cause they don’t like your parties, and they don’t want to be your friends anymore!” he sobbed as he got off the chair and ran downstairs, traumatized after getting yelled at when leaving Pinkie Pie’s house in a hurry. As soon as he entered Twilight’s house, he zoomed upstairs and cried by his bed. “I don’t deserve this! I didn’t do anything to her!” he continued to sob, refusing to leave an inch away while Pinkie went back to her normal self two hours later. Indeed, her friends did throw a party for her, as far as she was concerned, but she wouldn't understand the aftermath of why her parties were hated. While everyone was enjoying the party, Twilight noticed that Spike wasn’t with them. “Hey Fluttershy. Do you know where Spike is? I haven’t seen him in hours.” Twilight asked her friend. “I don’t know… I'm not sure where, in fact…” Fluttershy replied until Twilight walked up to Pinkie Pie for an answer. “I don’t know. Maybe he’s at home taking a bubble bath...” she said happily. “Do you remember the last time you saw him?” Twilight interrogated. “Well, you girls were keeping this party a secret from me, so I needed to interrogate him for some answers.” “What did you tell him?” “That you were avoiding me and don’t like my parties.” Pinkie blurred out. Twilight considered it preposterous. “Are you nuts? We never avoided you, and we do like your parties. We were busy throwing this surprise party for you.” “Really?” Pinkie said. "I just needed to find someone who’s siding with you.” But this made Twilight confused. “But Spike wasn’t helping me all this time he was just in my house.” “Wait, he wasn’t helping you at all?” She said as she stood in place. “Yes I mean he was in my house doing some chores for me. Do you know what happened to him?” This made Pinkie speechless about the situation. “I kind of yelled at him because I needed to find out where you and your friends were doing.” Twilight became shock of what Pinkie said. “Pinkie why you have to be so aggressive towards him?” “I gave him a plate of gems.” “Did you know he eat any gems?” “I don’t think he did because he ran downstairs for something.” Pinkie replied with a shrug, which made Twilight give concern, and warn her friend. “He must of got traumatized because you yelled at him, Pinkie. Spike didn’t deserve this. You do know he’s a baby dragon, and he would never go against you.” Pinkie had no idea. “But, I gave him a place of gems! He should’ve been happy about that.” “Just because you gave him something he loves doesn't mean he’s going to forgive you after yelling at him.” Twilight corrected. “He’s probably crying at my place.” Pinkie lowered her head, feeling guilty of what she did to Spike. “Do you think I have to talk to him?” Twilight placed her hoof on Pinkie's shoulder. “He would probably come to this party if you do.” Pinkie walked out of the barn and headed to Ponyville as quick as she could. By the time she approached Twilight’s house, she opened the door saw darkness. She tried calling out to Spike, but there was no answer. It was then she heard sobbing in the distance that was not too far. She walked up the stairs, and saw that Spike was in Twilight’s bedroom, covering himself with his blanket on the bed. “Spike? Are you okay?” she walked up to him. Spike slowly lifted up his head and turned to her in light shock. “Leave me alone! I didn’t do anything to you!” Spike yelled. “Wait! I’m sorry that I shouted at you. I thought you were siding with my friends.” “Why would I ever avoid you? I said I did nothing!” He sobbed. “Look... I know what I did was wrong, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't come to the party.” Pinkie confessed. She then sat by Spike and bit his blanket to move it aside, seeing that Spike was still filled with tears in bed, looking away from her with his arms to block his eyes in fear. “Awww. Come on, Spikey Wikey.” She used her hoof to move his arm out of his view. Her face gave off an ounce of cuteness, hoping that it would cheer him up a little. “This may look a little personal, but there's something I like about you...” Pinkie added. Spike got his head off the pillow and paid attention to what Pinkie had to say. Pinkie began, hoping he'd never turn again. “When you and Twilight came to Ponyville, it was bizarre because you came from Canterlot - A place I never went to. And, it was surprising that I never met someone who never had any friends, even after they arrived to Ponyville.” “Why is it bizarre? Twilight isn’t weird.” Spike retorted. It was then Pinkie put her hoof around him. “It’s because you're a dragon and not a pony. I mean, I felt off when I saw you since we never had an animal who can talk and so friendly. Also, remember the times we hung out, like the commentary we did during the race?” “Oh yeah. The Running of the Leaves...” Spike recalled. “And remember we had a fun time calling it?” “Yeah, it felt awkward, but it was fun.” Spike smiled, wiping his eyes. He was starting to feel better after talking to Pinkie in a calm way. In fact, things started to feel a little calm for him. “Why is it awkward?” “I was disappointed that I couldn't do commentary, but when you added me in, I was happy. But during the whole time, you made jokes about food. Not that it was a bad thing, but it felt really off...” “It’s my thing to entertain and make people laugh. Some commentaries can be funny when someone wants it to be, even if it's kind of off.” Pinkie explained. “Well I guess I wasn’t prepared for a commentary team after all...” Spike laughed nervously. “It’s okay. My point is that I like you; You're very cute and helpful.” Pinkie smiled, making Spike feel a little more better. As a result, Spike got on his feet and tried to think about what to say to her. “Well…. I say that you're very….” He paused multiple times. “Yes?” Pinkie waited with a slight grin. “...A very… great friend.” He finished. Pinkie gasped after hearing his words before hugging him tightly, making Spike breathless. “Awwww! Spikey…. I don’t know what to say… you're the best dragon I have ever met!” Pinkie cheered. “Okay! Can you let go of me!?” Spike uttered in a choking tone, closely turning to a different color. Pinkie let go of him, still putting her hoof around him. “You know, I was kind of regretful when I yelled at you so I should probably be more kind to my friends who don’t betrayed me.” Pinkie said. Spike felt absolutely better after the talk he had with Pinkie. He still was a little traumatized but she has an idea to get it off his head. “So, do you want to come with me to Sweet Apple Acres to my party? I’ll give you some ice cream, to make the bad times go away.” Pinkie offered. “Okay. I will come with you.” Spike accepted. “Yay!” Pinkie Pie grabbed Spike and placed him on her back. “Ready for a ride?” Spike gulped as Pinkie hopped her way out of Twilight’s Treehouse, making their way to Sweet Apple Acres. Spike and Pinkie’s friendship may be improving, and would become stronger, despite any consequence come what may. After getting yelled at, Pinkie still apologized to Spike after the misunderstanding the two had. They may never hang out that often, but when they're together, they always make a great team on making people happy, anywhere they go.
