											The Night before (whatever that means)
"Good night, Spike", whispered Twilight to Spike.
"Good night, Twilight", returned Spike.
Then, both Twilight and Spike went to sleep.
The Next Day (Well, wasn't that quick)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh yawned Spike as he finally awoke at... holy moly, three in the afternoon!
"Wow, I must have overslept", Spike told himself, "Oh well". He jumped out of his dog bed, stretched his aching muscles, and walked over to the fridge. What was he to eat? Well, Ice cream, of course, because every one eats ice cream in the morning. Sheesh. Anyway, this is Equestria where it is totally fine to eat junk food for breakfast because no body gets sick in fake cartoon shows made for little girls, but where big boys got involved... (Don't Judge me Harris!)
Anywho, Spike took his ice cream, and he, well, he began to chow down.
"Yummm! How I just love... LOVE ice cream! I could eat this stuff all day, and-- Oh no! Twilight! She'll see me eating this, and then she'll... I have to hide this before she finds out... I have to... wait a minute... where is Twilight?"
Yes, where was Twilight? Normally, she would be up early perhaps pacing the floor until there was nothing left of it, or maybe shutting the door in mail pony's faces, yet she wasn't. That was strange. And Spike knew it. He had to investigate (not investiwall because that just wouldn't make sense). And so the green purple dragon began a search for Twilight Sparkle. 
First, Spike headed upstairs. Luckily, he had Geico, and therefore, if he fell, he was safe. He didn't fall. Twilight would have, but Spike, he was different. Anyways, Spike headed upstairs, and checked, first, Twilight's bed. I would have checked the library, but beggars can't be choosers (and, apparently, neither can narrators). 
When Spike made it to Twilight's bed, he found nothing. Nada. So, like any logical dragon would, he moved on. However, when he checked the rest of the house, there was still no sign of Twilight Sparkle.
"Where could she be?", Spike thought, "If only I knew?"
Spike then decided to head outside. I mean why not? However, when Spike made it outside... There was no pony. No pony! Now, this is where it got creepy. Not really, but I mean imagine if you were just traveling around, and then BOOM everyone disappears. I mean wouldn't you be creeped out? I know I would. I mean it was almost like that Spongebob epi-- I digress. Anyways, Spike realized that no pony was around. Then, he began to cry. I mean, all of his friends were gone. Every last one! Even Rarity. Why?!?! However, Spike was a dragonly dragon! He had to fight this pain. He decided to do  what anyone would do. He went back home, opened the tub of ice cream, and he began to eat. I mean he ate. He was an ice cream hero. He had chocolate chips in his eyes. I mean... man, I can't even describe the power in this one eating of a tub of ice cream. It was powerful. Yeah. I am like running out of words to say. Alright, look, lets just sum it up. Spike needed to get rid of this pain. It was killing him (well, it would have). However, Spike had ice cream, and that he ate. In fact, because every pony was gone with the wind, Spike was able to eat all of the ice cream. All of it. Good for him. However, it also became bad for him. Poor Spike. This is where the tragedy tag comes in. Hold on, though, I just-- I just need to cry out the sadness of what is about to happen. Hold on, just... just give me five seconds...
Five Minutes Later (Yeah, Yeah, the Narrator is a liar, we know)
Okay, I am back. Spike, to get rid of all of his pain, ate all of the ice cream tubs in a day. However, because of this, he got diabetes, and then he had twelve thousand heart attacks in the same day. Spike, sadly, died. He died. Of a stomach ache (and diabetes and twelve thousand heart attacks in the same day). Poor Spike. Alright, that's the end. You can all go home now. Not much left to read here. Except, perhaps, the summary which goes like this...
Spike wakes up to find that everypony is dead. To bear the pain, he begins to eat all of the ice cream. Then, he dies of a stomach ache. The End.
Two days later
"Spike!", yelled Twilight, "We're home!"
Eeyup, you guessed it. Twilight and all the rest of the ponies weren't dead. No, instead, they decided to go out somewhere, and, of course, they also decided to not let Spike know. Those idiots. Anyways, Twilight comes into her house, but all she sees is a trail of ice cream (red ice cream... strawberry mint pistachio flavored ice cream... mouth watering, yummy, oh so goodness ice cream that--). Okay, so Twilight follows this trail of ice cream into the kitchen where... GASP Spike is lying there... dead. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Of course, this story did have one twist, and another could soon be coming. Read on and find out, you lazy bums.
Anyway, Twilight kneels down (or whatever ponies do), and she just begins to cry.
"Why! Why?", she screams. Then, it begins to rain outside (like it always does during a sad moment). The camera slowly pans away from Twilight, cuts to black, and then re-cuts to Twilight and all of the ponies having Spike's funeral.
"He was a good dragon", the chaplain says.
"I loved him like my own", says Twilight.
"I had a crush on him", says Rarity.
Every pony says something. Then, they leave. However, not all is as it seems.
Two weeks later
Scrush! A dragon claw bursted forth through the soil. Then another. Then, a dragon head came crashing through the ground. Then, an entire dragon body. That's right, Spike was still alive. However, he was still partly recovering from his splurge on ice cream, so he looked like a zombie. That doesn't matter.
Spike skulked all the way back to Twilight's house. He threw open the door, and walked right up to Twilight. Then, he let out an unholy moan.
Twilight turned around, and seeing Spike (Twilight thought that Spike was a zombie), she grabbed her broom and started to thwack Spike with it. Spike spoke up.
"Ow! Twilight! What the heckler and koch did you do that for?"
"Spike... You're-- You're not a zombie?"
"No! Of course not!", screamed Spike.
"Oh Spike!" exclaimed Twilight as she embraced Spike.
They hugged each other for hours. Then, everyone was told that Spike was still alive. Everypony was so happy. See, a happy ending. And you thought this was a tragedy. It was... for the ice cream. Well, that's all folks! See you!
The End.
