//------------------------------// // Ch.11: Talon and Claw. // Story: Pimp Spike's Swag // by trahzo //------------------------------// "Soon, and I mean soon, will FINALLY...oh, isn't this awkward? I forgot that you're still there." A depressed, sad griffin was seen roaming around the Everfree Forest. She had just lost her best friend, because she was stubborn, even more than her! However Gilda was fortunate, for she wasn't the only one roaming these forests, as soon as she decided to take a nap in a clearing, playful sounds of someone swinging on the vines could be heard! It was Spike, he was sent on a mission by Twilight Sparkle to find Owlouiscous a fine tree to place a nest, because he found a mate, which resulted in him wanting to move out and Twilight agreed, but when Spike found a vine, he became completely side tracked because swinging on vines is very fun, well, at least until he grabbed onto a snake, and was now not swinging onto anything because he was now falling and also, he didn't watch out for that tree, good job George of the Jungle! Strange right? He's suppose to be very focused, but hey, he's still a child. Spike bounced of the tree & landed on a napping Gilda's back, causing her to jump in surprise! Spike slid off her back and they were running in circles screaming until they got bored of it and just stopped. "Hey, I know you." they both said simultaneously. "You're Spice right? I only heard your name once from my welcome party to Ponyville." "No, it's Spike, and hey, you're Gilda, that Party pooping jerk who doesn't know when to take a joke." "HEY! I had no idea Rainbow Dash set those pranks & I had no idea about how embarrassing it is when you're the victim of a prank." she snapped. "Maybe if you weren't such a jerk, Dash wouldn't have stopped being you're f..." Then something came out from behind because it heard their loud conversation! "W-what's that?" It was a wood golem! The wood golem was going to attack them, but Spike countered the punch by burning it's fist. The wood golem shrieked in pain. then Gilda decided to shut the monster's mouth up! She punched, kicked, and slashed at the creature. The fire then spread all over, the wood golem then died and all that remained was ash, Spike smiled at Gilda, but Gilda was just keeping a strait face, not trying to look excited they killed a creature from the Everfree Forest that towered over them. But, one look into each others eyes made them realize what they had to do! So, Spike & Gilda opened a secret organization where they fight to protect innocent ponies & other creatures from monsters, for a reasonable fee of course, and as the years went by, more & more members joined their organization, because they all thought Celestia was being as useless as the cops from our world. Still, the members all had great abilities that profited them greatly, like for example, a pony with enough flexibility to squeeze through a beastly thin opening (Yes, it's Blossom Forth), or a Minotuar who was a master gymnast. Also, during those years, whenever Spike & Gilda went on a mission together, Spike always had to save her & she would blush whenever he picked her up when she was tied up. Also, Spike would sometimes steal a look at a certain area. These 2 were very shy to express themselves to each other, but after Gilda's mom encouraged her & Rarity encouraging Spike, yeah, she was saying that whole never give up even though you're 1st crush got with someone else speech, because Twilight never dated in her life, so she couldn't help. So, when Spike was a legal adult by Ponyville standards, he proposed, and Gilda accepted. After the wedding, these 2 took Talon & Claw, then walked to the carriage waiting for them, to take the happy newlyweds to a suite, a high luxury one no less, since Twilight is a princess, she was allowed to get anything she wanted, and used that title to get that luxurious hotel, which was 10x more luxurious then Luigi's mustache. "Hey, that's mean!" said Luigi "Shut-up dude, your year is almost over, but hey, you did a great job." "Yeah, I guess." Anyway, Spike & Gilda couldn't have been any happier than in the arms of eachother. So, they spent the rest of their lives together, with Talon & Claw. "Amusing, I especially liked the part where Luigi showed-up, I sometimes feel overshadowed by my own older sibling, but at least lots of fans love us, hey, maybe next year could be the year of Princess Luna! Yes, let's do it, the year of me. Right after this story's last chapter is over."
