Spades opened his eyes. He was in the basement, watching Kissylips make out with Flash Sentry. He tried to teleport, but earth ponies can’t teleport. Nothing was making sense.

Where was the can of beans?

Spades focused on the thought of the can, and found it, hovering over in a corner. 

The beans spoke. “Spaaaaades. Soooomething iiiiiissssssssssssss...”

What had Blue Tea wanted again? Pickles. And milk. 

They were in his saddlebags.

The beans spoke. “SpaaaAAAAaaadesssss....”

The can spun, revealing the face of kissylips instead of Bean Bean Bean Bean, the Beanco mascot. Kissylips whispered something, but Spades could not hear, so he stepped closer.

“Spaaaaadesssss.... something is w-“

The can, or Kissylips, was cut off by it being consumed by black goo, which rose in a wave and  flew across the ground towards Spades. He tried to run, but his hooves wouldn’t move.

The goo formed tentacles, which grabbed Spades and pulled him in, consuming him.

“Honey?” asked Blue Tea, Spades’s wife. He could not see her. “Is everything alright, Spades?”

Spades wanted to reply. He really did.

But he was gone. Didn’t he understand that? He was all gone. No more Spades. He had to go back. Can’t go to the next day. It’s the rules.

Blue was sitting in her big chair. It was a very comfortable chair. It reminded her of her husband. 

This won’t do.
