//------------------------------// // The Changeling Kingdom // Story: The Last Guys' Hangout // by Majestical4729 //------------------------------// Thorax and Pharynx watched over their kingdom as usual, a moment before they got a surprise visit from unexpected guests. "Spike, Discord! What are you doing here? And who's your friend here?" Thorax asked. "Thorax, Pharynx, I would like you two to meet Applejack's big brother, Big Mac. He hangs out with Discord and I at times, and today's our annual Guys' Night!" Spike answered. "And since it's the first Guys' Night with Spike as Royal Advisor, I'm granting his every wish for the day." Discord added. "So, you wished to visit us?" Pharynx jokingly asked. "Well, it's a long story, but, we came to check on your subjects. Especially after the war against Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow." Spike explained. "Don't worry, we changelings are tough." Pharynx replied. "What Pharynx meant was, we changelings recover quickly, that's why we could get back up after a fight." Thorax clarified. "So...you don't need any help?" Spike asked. "May not, but, Pharynx and I will like to show you all around, if you'd like." Thorax offered. "Oh, that's fine by me." Spike responded. In a montage, the Royal Brothers showed Spike and his pals the activities the changelings do: Swing dancing, Theatre, cooking, painting and sports. Last but not least was the special Feelings Forum, where changelings tell others about how they feel about something. "The last non-changelings who visited the Feelings Forum were Starlight and Trixie, " Thorax explained. "But now that you three are here, they're not the last ones anymore." Pharynx added. "Is there anything you three would like to share?" Thorax asked. "Well, I think I do," Spike replied, "I may have already been named Royal Advisor by Twilight, but since the coronation hasn't happened, there's still not much for me to do. And since the Canterlot Castle is almost done, I wanted to make the most of my last free time before moving back to Canterlot with Twilight." "Wait. Last free time?!" Discord asked. "Well, yeah. Once the coronation is over, I'll be in Canterlot with Twilight most of the time, helping her in every way I can." Spike explained, "So I'll be very busy and barely get to do anything else." "But if that was true, it means..."Discord started showing a fearful expression. "Means what?" Spike asked, confused. "That this Guys' Night is also the LAST Guys' Night, and the LAST time we guys get to hangout!" Discord dramatically announced.
