Summer of Spike

by Wildcard25


Summer's Here

One morning in Spike's room, the once freshman was fast asleep until his digital alarm clock went off. Hearing it, he turned it off and sat up. Letting out a yawn he looked over at his calendar seeing the month was June which reminded him of what it was, "Summer!" he cheered, remembering yesterday was their final day of school.

He jumped out of bed and grabbed a clean pair of clothes, before heading to take a shower. After washing up he changed into his sneakers, jean shorts, a green shirt, and a purple short sleeved unbuttoned shirt. He went to the kitchen table to see Twilight and their parents, "Well good morning, son." Night Light greeted him.

"Morning, everybody." Spike said, as he made himself toast.

"So first day of summer you two." Velvet reminded them.

"We know." Twilight nodded.

"You two already making plans with your friends?" Night Light asked.

"Yeah, this is gonna be the best summer ever," Spike beamed, like he was Pinkie. He finished his toast, "Well, I'm taking off. Gotta meet my friends. See you later." he rushed out the door.

After exiting the apartment, Spike pulled out his MP3 and turned on the music before walking it out through the city, and singing to himself.

As he walked through the city, he arrived at the Cake's shop to see Puck, Featherweight, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo waiting for him, "Guys!" he called.

"Hey, Spike!" Puck said, as the two high fived.

"How's it going?" Scootaloo asked.

"Couldn't be better."

"Well come on, let's go in." Applebloom said, as the group went inside.

Inside the shop, they were sitting in a booth while having drinks, "Ok, Summer is officially here." Puck said.

"And about time." Scootaloo added.

"And now that we're together as this entourage along with our sisters and their friends, there's so much we can do." Sweetie Belle said.

"Calm down, guys," Featherweight began, "Now remember, it's one thing to want to do something, but we need to map this out carefully otherwise our plans will be one big mess."

"As much I'm disturbed to hear you sounding like my sister, I can't help but agree with you." Spike agreed.

"So is there anything good we can kick off the start of Summer with?" Applebloom asked.

"Well let's take a look." Puck picked up a newspaper from the stand and they looked through the events column.

"Hey, look at this." Spike said, as he spotted an event article.

"The Summer fair, of course!" Sweetie Belle gasped.

"It always begins when Summer vacation starts." Featherweight stated.

"I'd always go with my family, but now that I met all of you we can go together." Spike said.

"Sounds like a plan." Applebloom smiled.

"We should definitely consult with the others about this." Featherweight suggested.

"Right." Scootaloo agreed.

Suddenly the doors to the shop flung open, and standing in the entry way was a mob of girls from their school, "It's them!" one cheered, as they spotted Spike, Featherweight, and Puck.

"Oh, snap!" Puck cried.

"We gotta run!" Spike said desperately.

"Over here!" Carrot Cake called, as he opened a spot on the counter.

The six ran to the other side of the counter, "Thank you, Mr. Cake." Sweetie Belle said, as they went out the back.

As they made it outside, they saw the mob again, "Get them!" a fan girl called, as the girls squealed and ran for them.

"RUN FOR IT!" Featherweight cried, as the six made a run for it.

"Hey, why're we running? They're not after us." Scootaloo told the girls.

"Well, we're not gonna just leave the guys hanging." Applebloom said.

"She's right." Sweetie Belle nodded.

"I guess." Scootaloo sighed.

Meanwhile, Twilight and the girls were walking for Sugarcube Corner to meet up with Spike and the others, until Pinkie stopped in mid track confusing the girls, "Pinkie?" Twilight asked.

"What is it?" Rarity asked, until the party goer shushed her.

Pinkie then surveyed the surrounding before putting her head to the ground. The girls looked at her awkwardly, until Rainbow spoke up, "Pinkie, what're you doing?"

Suddenly Pinkie lifted her head up and shouted, "STAMPEDE!"

The girls were confused, until Fluttershy looked ahead and gasped, "She's right, look!"

They saw Spike and the others running from a stampede of girls, "Whoa, nelly." Applejack gasped.

"Come on." Twilight said, as she pulled her friends into an alley way.

Spike and his friends continued running feeling they wouldn't be able to outrun the mob much longer. Suddenly six pairs of arms reached out and grabbed them, pulling them into the alley way, as the fangirl mob continued running forward having not noticed their disappearance.

The six panted as they saw the older girls were the ones who helped them, "Girls, you're life savers." Spike panted.

"Why would you compare us to candy?" Pinkie raised a brow, while Applejack and Twilight rolled their eyes.

"Do we even wanna know what was happening?" Rainbow asked, with her hands on her hips.

The three boys answered together, "Fangirl mob."

"Again?" Twilight asked, and Spike nodded sheepishly.

"Are you all ok?" Rarity asked, as she checked her sister over.

"We're fine, Rarity." Sweetie Belle assured her.

"That's a relief." Applejack said, as she hugged Applebloom.

"But, we're glad we ran into you." Featherweight spoke up.

"We found out the best way to kick off the start of summer." Applebloom said.

"What's that?" Fluttershy asked.

"The Summer fair." they answered.

The girls faces brightened with smiles, as Rainbow spoke, "All right! That is the right way to kick summer off."

"Oh yeah!" Pinkie cheered.

"Great idea, guys." Twilight said.

"Well if we're gonna be going, we better get some supplies and such to bring." Applejack noted.

"Quite right." Rarity agreed.

"Then let's meet up at the fair grounds later in an hour." Twilight suggested.

"Good plan." Puck agreed.

"Well then see you there." Spike said, as they went their ways, with Spike walking back with Twilight.

"Glad you remembered the fair, Spike. It is one of the best ways to start summer, and this time you have more friends to enjoy it with."

"Got that right." he nodded.

"And I know you'll making some great summer memories just like I am." Twilight held her brother close.

"Yeah." Spike smiled as the two walked.
