//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Pinkie Pie // Story: Returning Home // by Ventan //------------------------------// Aww. You guys must really love me to make Ventan make a me chapter. He was suppose to make a Rarity chapter, but you guys were demanding me so much, that he caved in and did it! Oh, I'm so happy I could… Well, I can't dance and spin because it's just words, but you can imagine me dancing and spin and-Oh! Even imagine me right now talking to you! Hi, reader! I'm Pinkie Pie. Well, you would already know that otherwise you wouldn't know who I am without looking through the web and finding the answer, but why would you look through the web? It's full of spiders and eggs and dead bugs and other yucky things! Oh no! I'm getting off track. Sorry, guys. I'll try to be as normal as I can. Oh no! I talked to you again. *gasp* And again! *gasp* And I did it again! Ok! I'm going to stop NOW!!!… Ok. So it's been a few days after Spike's revelation. I already knew it was Spike, but I never got a chance to even say hi to him. He sliced the vine so fast that I couldn't even say anything, Rudie Pants. But it's ok. I'm alright now since Spike's back. I really thought he would die because Ventan was planning to end at a little later time, but come on! Where's the suspense? The drama? The action? Well, we just covered action, but it's not enough. The romance? The finale!? Oh no! I got off track again! I'll get back to it now, guys! Alright, where was I?... Oh yea! So, Spike lives in an apartment because 1. Spike can't sleep in his small, ity-bity basket, but Twilight has two beds, but this is also where number 2 comes in: It's not fair for Twilight to keep Spike under her roof. Who knows what they could be doing? They could do things behind our backs, but the readers would know dirty little secret going on. And no! No clops here! It's rated "Everyone" for a reason. Come on, guys. Get with the program. Ventan can't even write a clop in the first place. He's not mature enough. No offense, Ventan. Now then, as I was saying: He lives in an apartment because of that reason. He's doing pretty well, but he sometimes gets sad when we mention about "it". "It" is the thing where Spike has to- No! Phew. I almost told you guys the spoilers. Can't do that now, can I? He'd get mad at me if I did. D-oh! Come on, girl! Focus! *Ahem* So, after a while, we all started to grow an affection towards him, myself included. I didn't see him topless, but because I'm Pinkie Pie I can imagine him in various things with those hot scars. Yep. Ventan's head-cannon for my fetish in this story. I love scars, but only battle scars. They are hot like lava cakes. Not from me, of course. That's not good. I can't fight, silly. I have an all-purpose cannon for a reason. Duh! Why else would I need it? Parties all the time? Have you not seen it's insides? It's loaded with black powder ready to go "KABOOM!!!". And it also has a candy dispenser, an engine in case I need to ride to the next party, self-making party streamers, and all sorts of things this party mare needs. Ok. Getting off track again. Man, we can't get anything done, can we? Well, I'll stop now. Back to telling you what happe- How about I tell it from here? Knowing you, you'd probably get off track like all your previous paragraphs. *Gasp* Why did she add you?! Because A: I can keep on track, unlike you. And B: Because Ventan is slamming her head on the desk because of your consistent "fourth wall destruction." I… can not object that... So it's official? I'm telling the story? Sure. I don't want to waste time on this *insert dramatic music* "Epic Soon To Be Drama"! That's as close of a spoiler you're gonna get from us, folks. Now then, back to the story. *Ahem* Let's see… Spike living in-got that already, ya-da ya-da, his scars-got that. Oh! Here we go. So he's been living peacefully, with the occasional trolling. (That's right, you heard me. Trolling.) He told stories that were, and I quote, "20% cooler then your stunts." (This is all yesterday guys, so you won't lose track.) After the story telling and Rainbow Dash's consistent after-story questions, he cooked some food and, man, oh man, was it delicious! Once we finished dinner (yes, dinner) We all headed our separate ways, to our homes and sleep (except for Spike. He had to go to an apartment). And now, here we are at the present. Pinkie Pie woke up at nine and began her morning routine of eating a fluoride cupcake. She chewed on it for two minutes, spit it out, and rinsed her mouth. She greeted Gummy, who was just sitting there on her drawers, and ran downstairs. She quickly made her daily batch of cupcakes and set them on the display. After she finally completed all of her morning chores, she walked up to the door sign and flipped it to "Open." She walked back to the counter, and she waited. And waited. And waited. Well, since we got nothing to do until twelve, why don't we do something special to out readers? Oh, right. The gang's coming here at twelve, aren't they. Well, we've got nothing better to do. What do you want to do? Well, usually at this time I start thinking about how the "bronies" came to be. Weren't there, like, multiple Youtube videos about this? Yea, but I just didn't expect us to get so popular. Did you? I know I didn't. Honestly, no, but after watching some of the vides, I can see why. Yeah. Hey, have you seen Generation 3 My Little Pony? Oh god, don't even start. That's not a show. That's not even advertisement; It's a show that makes guys cringe and girls get nightmares. I don't know. Some girls might like it, but I'm not sure about boys. Is this a potential red flag if we keep this up? We, Ventan and I, feel a chill down our spine as we speak. I guess we should. We don't want dislikes flooding this story, especially if it'll ruin the finale. Speaking of finales, why don't we share some news with the readers? Yes, I'm talking about you guys out there. Oh! That's a great idea! But we must promise that we can't speak or mention of spoilers. That's bad. Yea. I promise. No! We have to Pinkie Promise. … Really? Do we have to? We're both Pinkie Pie, well, except for me since I'm Pinkamena, but still part of Pinkie Pie. We're both doing the Pinkie Promise. No ifs, ands, or buts missy! Fine. Cross my heart and hope to fly, Stick a cupcake in my eye. Cross my heart and hope to fly, Stick a cupcake in my eye. There. Happy? Yep! Now then, we can say the announcements. Ok, first off, let's look at the "Valentines Special." Guys, the results you will see were taken at January 19 at 11 pm. There may be more added in the future. Also, we will not mention the ones that only got one vote. There's so many of them, it's ridiculous! Remember, the deadline is on Valentines Day. Go vote now. Ok. Now let's look at the-Whoa-ho-ho! Yikes. SpkexApplejack is charging in hot with 9 votes so far! That cowgirl might get the man, er, dragon! But watch out, though, cause SpikexTwilight is catching up with 6 votes. Will the bookworm get her number one assistant back, and maybe some more? So far, SpikexRarity is falling short with 5 votes. That fashionista's not going to get her "Spiky-wiky" anytime soon. Surprisingly, SpikexFluttershy and SpikexLuna is tied with 3 votes. Wonder who will rise between those two? And last, but not least, SpikexSweetie Belle nearly got out of the unmentioned by one point! Oh, so close! Well, that's all for this ballet. Anything else we should cover? What about Spike's pills he used before "dying?" Oh, the pills, ok. So Spike has five levels of pills, each boosting his power to a very high level. Though as strong it may be, the consequences are, like, super-duper dangerous! If the Lv 1 pill put him in a "minor death" state, who knows what'll happen if he uses the Lv 5 pill! If you're wondering how many of each he has, it's one per level. He makes the pills using various herbs and adds in his magic to it for the finishing touch. He already replaced his Level 1 pill, so he should have one of each. Anything else we should cover, other side of me that shouldn't exist in the first place? Um…1. So~ OOC for you. 2. What about his sword? Somebody's going to ask that sooner or later. Plus, it's going to be important later so we should tell them about it. Alrighty! We all know it's made of Orichalcum, a rare and hard to obtain material. He got these materials when he lost a fight to another dragon. Poor guy. Striving to become even better, he heard about the metal and ventured out to get it. He came to a cave where he fought, used his smarticals, and eventually made some sacrifices to get the metal! If you guys want really want, Ventan can make a story out of that. He already came up with everything! Just ask, and he'll do it after this story comes to a close! It's 11:58. Holy Celestia, that was fast! Yeah, these announcements took more time then expected. And there they are! Spike and the girls walked into the shop. "Hey guys," Pinkie Pie greeted cheerfully, "Take a seat. What can I get cha'?" They sat down on the table nearest Pinkie Pie. Spike and the others took a moment before answering. "I'll take a sapphire sprinkled cupcake, please," Spike ordered. "Marshmallow Surprise for me, darling." "Let me have the Rainbow Zap!" "I'll take an Apple Fritter. No cupcakes for me today, sugercube. "And I'll just take some DHA gummies." "Coming right~ up!" Pinkie shouted. Off in the distance, a stranger stood in the alleyway to Sugarcube Corner, hiding in plain sight. "Hey, I found him," he messaged using magic, "Time to execute operation 'Dragon'."
