//------------------------------// // The Final Chapter // Story: Spike Pie // by Silver Butcher //------------------------------// Twilight left the Wonderbolt greet and met, leaving her brother and Cadance to their fun as she entered the main dancing hall, and immediately saw Spike and Aloe's Clunky dance. "What the...?" She asked in confusion as she made her way to the snake table, having spotted Fluttershy talking to a colt with a mustache she refused to believe wasn't 90% Magic," "...Really?" Fluttershy asked she was a mess from head to tail. "Trust me," The Miraculous Mustache replied "These are Canterlot animals, you just need to sit in a nice open field and hum a soft tune, it will take a lot of time and patience, but once you get one of them to approve of you the rest will follow in, just follow my instructions upon interacting with them and you should be good to go and don't forget tray of food, it's the most important part " Fluttershy thanked the colt before swapping a full tray of food and making and heading to the Castle Garden. Twilight watched her go and turned to The Miraculous Mustache. "Why hello!" He said in a booming voice "You must be Twilight Sparkle!" "How do you know...?" 'Who you are?" He asked with a chuckle "Pinkie told me about you and your friends, wanted to see if I might be able to help any of you out with your goals tonight," He looked across the room and Twilight followed his gaze and watched Pinkie and Lotus spin around the room laughing as Spike and Aloe changed from slow dancing to doing the Macarena. "I better go stop them," Twilight sighed "Before the nobles lose their patience and try and have them thrown out," "Yes, I suppose that could be a problem," Bellow said before calling out in an echoing voice. "Did someone say Party?" Instantly Spike and Pinkie were next to Bellow with Lotus and Aloe smiling. "We got their attention for a solid half-hour," Aloe said with a giggle. "That's more than most get," Lotus agreed as she and Aloe made their way to the snack table. "Party?" Spike asked inquisitively. "What kind of Party?" Pinkie asked with her neck fully extended. "Why don't you two decide?" Bellow asked with a smile. Pinkie and Spike looked at each other and smiled. "Final Chapter Party?" Spike asked. "Final Chapter Party!" Pinkie cheered out as she and Spike disappeared into smoke clouds. "What?" Twilight asked in confusion. "I think it's an inside joke," Aloe replied with a shrug. "I'm sure it makes sense to them," Lotus agreed. "I can't believe it's finally time!" Spike cried out as he and Pinkie slid to a stop in a conveniently empty room. "I know!" Pinkie cried out skipping around the room "I never thought we'd get to the end of Season 1," "Shame we never got an editor," Spike said as he pulled a script out of nowhere and flipped threw the first threw pages, "Look at this, Chapter 5 was just me and Marble playing chess," "And some of the early Chapters are too short to even be considered Chapters!" Pinkie agreed as she looked at the script with Spike. "And the spelling is just terrible, I mean heck does anyone even still read this story?" "I think DavisSentoV5 does," Pinkie said as she looked threw the comments. "Well, at least someone stuck threw to the end," Spike said with a shrug as he tossed the script out of existence. "Alright Spike enough with the 4th wall jokes," Pinkie said taking Spike's hand and making him crack his knuckles "Let's get to work, Our Finalises gonna be lit!" The Grand Galloping Gala was grinding to an end, the Wonderbolt air show had ended early due to Soarin showboating and crashing into Thunderlane, most of the nobles had left, most explaining what a disaster the event had been. In the Main hall, Marble, Maud, Aloe, Lotus, Owlishious, and the 5 none Pinkie Main 6 had gathered together, Rarity was burning with rage, Fluttershy had made some new animal friends, Rainbow Dash was paying Thunderlane for the hit she had put out of Soarin, Applejack was counting the bits Bellow Bloom had given her for her Applecart, and Twilight was waiting for Shinning and Cadance to come back from talking to Celestia so she could say goodbye. "Where are Spike and Pinkie?" Maud asked as she looked around the mostly empty room. "They said something about a Final Chapter Party?" Twilight said before the most remarkable thing happened, Maud's facial expression changed slightly. "Really?" She asked in shock looking around the room in wonder before turning to Marble who shared her sister's shocked look. "I'm so excited," Maud said monotone. "Care to explain?" Rainbow asked as she looked around the room. "I have no idea what the Final Chapter Party is," Maud said as she and Marble scanned the room "But Spike and Pinkie have been talking about throwing it since after their first-ever party," "Oh no," Twilight said as she realized what Maud was saying "You mean to tell me, that Pinkie and Spike are about to..." "throw the ultimate party!" Spike and Pinkie cried out from the stage, The Group turned to them and found the entire room was decked out in countless balloons, ribbons, and random trinkets. Pinkie had chips in her Mane with Gummy sitting on her back, around her neck was the head part of her Chicken Halloween Costume, she had shoulder-mounted Party Cannons and was wearing her Gala dress. Next to her Spike had the neck bolts from his Halloween Costume, he had Cotton Candy around the spade of his tail, he was wearing his Wingpack tho it was hard to see due to the Giant Firecracker strapped to his back, He had his Wrist Launchers on and was wearing his Gala tux with Wallace in his shirt pocket. "The first one to figure out which chapters the extra parts of our costumes are from wins," Pinkie cried out as her shoulder Cannons went off. "Spike that Rocket better be a prop!" Maud said sternly. "It wasn't last time and it isn't this time," Spike replied as he jumped off the stage as Pinkie pulled out a record player and put on the Pony pokey, once the music started she started doing a chicken dance as Spike Spun around the room. "Well who am I to deny a party," Aloe said with a sigh before turning to Spike "Now if you'll excuse me I must remove that firework from my Dragon," "Sweet Celestia Spike," Spitfire called out as she came to investigate the music. "You didn't tell me your act involved a rocket," "It wasn't supposed to," Twilight muttered before going after Owlicious "Oh no, you've had enough snacks for tonight," "At least I can enjoy a party," Rarity sighed as she and Fluttershy moved to get some of the refreshed punch. "Are you having an After Party?" Shinning asked as he, Cadance, and Celestia made their way into the room, Celestia gave the room a once over before smiling "Good, the Gala's always a bore," as the Party started kicking off a merry voice boomed out. "I knew it!" Bellow Bloom cried out with joy as he and his less than happy looking son arrived "an Afterparty, Count us in!" Spike laughed with joy as he started dancing with Spitfire, was stolen by Aloe, and was then stolen by Bellow Bloom before Spitfire and Aloe began fighting for his attention and Bellow Bloom left Spike to be spun back and forth. Pinkie was now dressed like a rapper and moonwalking on a picnic blanket that had a love poison stain on it with Lotus and Maud Cheering her on. Twilight, Shinning, and Owlisious were having a talk about gold stars and crowns while Celestia apologies to Rarity about Blue Blood. After a few minutes of Partying Spike got a little to close to a candle and was sent rocketing out of a nearby window, He activated his wingpack and came flying back as his Firecracker exploded, after a while of dancing in the air the party began filling up with Bubbles and Spike switched the Pack off when the floor started to get a little slippery from the soapy residue of the bubbles. As soon as he landed Spitfire and Aloe started fighting over him again. "I wonder who'll win," Cadance muttered as she ate some Popcorn and watch the two mares fight for Spike's attention. Pinkie was still moonwalking, tho Gummy was now resting on her hat in a mixture of a tux and a yellow sundress. The Party Started winding down when Owlisious lost to fight with time and fell asleep at the snack table. "Alright," Twilight called out "Fun as this has been, it's time to head home," after a few minutes everyone was accounted for, Spitfire gave Spike a kiss on the cheek and said she'd visit him soon and gave Aloe a mischievous glance before leaving. "Oh yeah," Maud said as she watched the Pegasus fly away "She knows what she's doing," "She can do it all she want's" Aloe replied red-faced "She may have known him longer, but I live in the same town as he does," Celestia summoned a few special carriages to take the group back to Ponyville and bid Cadance and Shinning goodnight as they headed to their respective homes in Cantrlot. After a few minutes, Spike and Pinkie were alone in their own carriage. "Mega Sleepover," Pinkie cheered as she waved to her sisters and the Spa twins "If you beat us their wait for us at Sugar Cube Corner!" "Will do," Lotus called back before the carriage carrying them took off. Spike and Pinkie sat in silence for a moment. "We did it," Spike said with a smile "We made it to the end of Season one!" "I know," Pinkie cheered "I can't wait for Season 2 to start!" "Neither can I," Spike cheered "Well until then," Spike and Pinkie put their arms around each other and cried out in a merry tone. "Thanks for reading Spike Pie all the way to the end! We'll See you soon in Season 2!"
