//------------------------------// // True Intentions // Story: Gone // by Gijake1 //------------------------------// The screen chimed on, and displayed a strange looking cardboard room where a character made out of wool fell from the roof. Spike was given the second one while Austin had the first one. Austin then smirked as the character waved at them. Spike was dumbfounded when he realized he was waving to him. "What the?" he let out. Austin chuckled a bit. The sack like creature moved to the controller in the room, and used it. It zoomed up on one of the planets, and it moved to "Story". Jenny walked in, and watched them play, and how much Spike struggled to do so. He was having fun. "Hey Spike, stay right here for a sec." Austin said, as he put down the controller. He closed the door behind him as he walked out. "That was sudden." Spike mumbled to himself. He walked over to the door, and tried to hear what was going on. "So, Austin, how are we going to get Spike home?" Jenny asked. "Why should we find a way home for him? I bet he likes it here than Ponyville." he replied. Jenny was taken back by Austin's reply. "How could you say that? He has to miss Twilight and Rarity!" she protested. "Yeah? Well, I prefer him here, and I'll make sure he stays." Austin replied selfishly. Spike was surprised by this. He just heard Austin's true intentions; to keep him all to himself. Having fans sucks. Spike didn't want to stay here much longer after he heard that. He didn't think he could bring himself to trust them. He did want to go back home, and he really,REALLY, wanted to see Rarity. he walked over to a near by window, and using all of his strength, he began to pull it up. After much work, the window opened. He stepped out of it, and nearly screamed when he saw the drop. He gulped down his fear, and began to walk on the side of the roof. It's too bad he was on the second floor, it might of not have been as bad. He heard the door open, and then a gasp. "Spike?!?" Austin yelled, confused. He looked out the window, and thought the worse. "JENNY! Spike went out the window!" he yelled. "WHAAAT? Do you think he heard our argument?" Jenny screamed as she ran into the room. They both scanned the back yard, while Spike nervously watched them. He looked down at the fence in the back yard. He could probably land on it, because the roof was near it. He took a soft deep breath, and jumped. He landed almost skillfully on the fence. Then again, it was only a 3 inch drop. Spike hopped of the fence, and scanned for an escape. He didn't want to see any more humans. They were selfish. He had forgotten Jenny's protests about helping him get home, and he only focused on the selfish things Austin said. He wasn't a pet, or a toy! Spike decided not to go near the houses, but into the nearby woods. The woods isn't the nicest place in the world, but that'll do for now. "Hey look! There he is!" Austin yelled, pointing right at him. Spike's heart stopped for a moment, and he watched them run away from the window. They were coming after him. He didn't want to get caught. No way no how! He quickly ran into the woods, and he saw Austin and Jenny trying to catch up with him. "Come back!" Jenny cried. Spike refused, and sprinted faster. Using his own cartoon physics, his legs were moving so fast, they seemed to look like wheels. "Please come back!" Austin begged. Spike ignored him, and dodged trees left and right. Spike was heading towards a ravine, and he quickly picked up more speed, and jumped. His jump was a very far jump. He almost missed the other end, but he managed to grab the ledge, and climb up. The boy and girl stopped. "Spike, it's dangerous out there! You might get hurt!" Jenny said, worried out of her wits. "Yeah? Well, I prefer this than being a pet." he replied annoyed. He then ran away, just when Jenny seemed like she was about to kill Austin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight gasped at Trixie. "Trixie? I didn't mean to make you angry!" Twilight said, her voice filled with worry. Trixie flipped her mane, and laughed. "Oh, sweet talking won't get you out of this mess." she said. Twilight sighed as she realized how easy it is to escape. Her horn glowed, and the ropes came off right away. Trixie was shocked at first, but then, she laughed nervously. "IT-Trixie was only kidding.." she said. "Look, Trixie. I'll forget all about this, IF, you help me find Spike. Got it?" Twilight said, angrily. Trixie slowly walked back into a wall as Twilight walked forward to her. "Fine. Trixie will help you find your pathetic loser of an assistant." Trixie replied with a hmph. "So, you have no idea where you sent Spike?" Twilight asked. "No." Trixie replied plainly. "Well, I do recall seeing such a spell that lets you see other ponies past spells. I saw it in the Canterlot archives." Twilight said, placing her hoof to her chin. Trixie smiled nervously. "Trixie doesn't know where the archives are." "They're in Canterlot. At Horseshoe Blvd." Twilight said, looking at her unamused. "Oh. Right. Trixie knew that." Trixie laughed. Twilight facehoofed. Twilight had a good eye on Trixie as they left the building she was put in. They were in Ponyville's abandoned bakery. "So, when is the next train leaving?" Trixie asked. "Around 4:00 PM. We are going to have to wait for it, since it's 3:14 PM right now." Twilight said, judging the time by the sun. "And how do you know the schedule?" Trixie wondered. "I have it in the library. I memorize every train time every week, just in case." Twilight replied proudly. "Heh, Right." Trixie said, automatically thinking about how weird this mare is. What was ironic was that Twilight was thinking the same thing about Trixie. ___________________________________________ Heh. Sorry guys, I sorta rushed this time. I really needed to get this through since I didn't make an update last weekend.
