//------------------------------// // Ch 7: Spike Has The Power // Story: The New Life of Spike: Book 2 // by Dark Matter 101 //------------------------------// Chapter 7 Spike Has The Power It was nighttime in Equestria. A new building was place outside of town called Night Light tonight. A new restaurant that Night Light build with the help of Spike, Twilight, Flash, Pinkie, and Rarity. Inside was tables, decorations, and a ladder. They were almost finished and almost ready for business. Right now they're taking a break watching the news on TV. "And now, the latest from the Comet Watch," the news reporter said on TV. "Stargazers around Equestria are watching the skies tonight for Pyramid's Comet. The comet comes every 100 years and is for the first-" Twilight turned the TV off making Spike gasp and upset. "What are you doing?" Spike cried out. "The comet's coming!" "Oh, it'll be back in 100 years," Twilight said to him. "Come on, guys, we're almost done with the place and we're going to celebrate in the 70's style." "Yeah, and some of us has to rehearse," Rarity added. "And nothing says 70's night like a disco ball," Flash carried a disco ball. "Come on, Spike, give me a hand." "No problem," Spike said as he offered his help. "70's night," Pinkie sighs of happiness. "Nothing like a peaceful way of getting down on the dance floor." "What's this rehearse you girl's are talking about?" Night Light asked. "Well, Mr. Night Light, we're rehearsing for our dance for your grand opening," Rarity said. "So me, Pinkie, and Spike will keep the party going." "Yeah, since Spike learned how to dance, he has the main lead," Pinkie cheered. "Just don't go overboard with my son," Night Light said to them. "Twilight told me what happened when you were about to head at the water park." "That was Rainbow Dash's fault," Rarity said. "Whoa! Check it out, guys!" Twilight points out the window. "It's the comet! The comet is here!" Everybody ran out of the building and looked at the night sky. There was the comet flying across the sky. Flash and Spike was the last one out and saw the comet. The comet was to bright it almost blinded them. Spike notice an electrician coming from the disco ball. He felt it in his hands. He looks at the ball when all of a sudden a beam of lightning struck his eyes. It last for three seconds and Spike looked up again. Soon the comet flew away and went back to a dark night. "Shows over, kids," Night Light said. "Yeah, tomorrow the grand opening and in two days Boogietown," Flash said heading back inside. Everybody went inside except for Spike. He kept looking up in the sky looking at the stars. Pinkie snaps her finger in front of his face getting his attention. "Spike, are you Okay?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah, I'm- I'm fine," Spike answered still looking up the sky. The two went back inside hearing disco music playing. Rarity was following the rhythm practicing for 70's theme night. Spike handed Flash the disco ball for him to hang on the ceiling and went over to Rarity. "You two ready?" Rarity asked as they started to dance. "Five, six, seven, eight." They started to dance and was getting down. Except for Pinkie who was not dancing with them. "Pinkie. Pinkie! PINKIE!" Rarity yelled at her. "What?" Pinkie froze in her stance. "You're suppose to dance with me," Rarity explained. "So Spike can booty bump us together." "I don't remember that," Spike said. "I added a little something extra, from the top," Rarity said. Before they could dance again, Spike face popped with one eye wide open and the other twitching. Pinkie and Rarity looked at him and saw that he acted strange. When Spike got his normal face again he gasps and saw Flash by the ladder. "Flash, watch out!" Spike ran towards Flash tackling him on the ground. The disco Ball fell shattering on the ground with force where Flash was standing. Spike and Flash got back up and the gang ran to them. "Are you two okay?" Night Light asked. "Yeah," Flash said. "Spike saved me. Could you imagine what happen if that hit me." "Twilight grab a broom and help me clean this up," Night Light said as the three went to the back getting cleaning supplies. Rarity looked at Spike strangely like he knew what would happen. "Spike, how did you know that ball was gonna fall?" she asked. "I-I don't know, Rarity," Spike answered still shaking. "It was weird though. It's like I saw it in my head, and then it just happened." "Well, since no one got hurt, let's resume rehearsing," Pinkie said as she continued to dance. The next day, Pinkie, Rarity, and Spike was walking down the hallway in school together. Spike was still shaky over last night. "I think that comet did something to me," Spike said. "I was holding the disco ball, and that energy zapped into me. All of a sudden, I see stuff, like free cable in my head!" "I want free cable in my head," Pinkie pouted. "You guys, come now," Rarity said. "Spikey-Wikey may saved Flash from something he saw in his head and now you two think that you are suddenly psychic." "I guess you're right," Spike said smiling. "Hey, can you show us that face one more time from last night," Pinkie said. "You mean this?" Spike suddenly made the same face last night. Only he wasn't faking it. He can hear Rarity and Pinkie laughing at him. Spike suddenly saw a vision of Fleur Dis Lee walking through the hallway with a pottery she made. A student accidentally bumped into her making her drop the pot and shattered all over the place. "My project!" she cried out echoing inside Spike's head. Spike went back to the real world and shook his head. "...Yeah, make a face and have a vision," Rarity continued. "Like it works like that," Pinkie snorted. Spike suddenly saw Fleur walking down the hallway with the same pottery she made in his vision. He ran to her and slide on his back when the student bumped into her and drops it. Spike saved the day yet again as he catches the pot in his hand before it touches the ground. Rarity and Pinkie was surprised to see Spike caught the pottery just in time. "Here you go Fluer," Spike said handing it to her. "Spike, thank you, you saved my project," Fleur kissed him on the cheek and left. Spike felt good saving her project. When he went over to Rarity and Pinkie they looked at hims strangely. "Two things, Spike," Rarity said. "One: I'm not going to forgive her for kissing you like that. And number two: Did you had a vision again?" "I made the face, save the day, got a kiss, and I say yes, I had a vision again," Spike said happily. "You do realize what this mean?" Rarity asked. "Yes... No," Spike answered. "It means that you can't tell anybody," Rarity said. "Riiiiiight," Spike said still didn't get the point. "Why not?" "Because if you tell anybody that you're psychic they'll think you're a freak," Rarity answered. "And I don't want my Spikey-Wikey to be hurtful by other bad people." "Yeah, you're right," Spike said as he sighed. "I guess I'll keep this a secret, if you and Pinkie don't tell anyone." "Of course, me and Pinkie will keep our lips sealed," Rarity said sealing her lips like a lock. "Right, Pinkie." She turned to Pinkie who had her phone out texting. Pinkie looked back at them and didn't hear a word they said. "What? Sorry, I was tweeting about Spike can see into the future," Pinkie answered. "So much for keeping it a secret," Spike said. "Maybe no one will believe it," Rarity said. "I mean, it's Pinkie who's texting." Rarity and Pinkie head to their next class. Spike went to his when he stops and had another vision. His face was yet again acting strange. He saw a group of college students surrounding him and Fleur sitting next to him. "Your visions are amazing," Fleur echoed in his head. "Everybody loves you." They all patted him on the shoulder. "You do? You all love me?" Spike saw himself saying that echoing in his head. He got back into reality and grinned wide across his face. School was over and Rarity and Pinkie was in gym waiting for Spike to show up for their rehearsal. Rarity tried calling him but he didn't answer. "Spike's phone is still busy," Rarity said as she groans. "It's getting late, Rarity," Pinkie looked at the clock in the gym. "Let's just start without him." Pinkie grabs the CD player and played disco music. "You're over there, Spike is here," Rarity said getting her and Pinkie situated. "Five, six, seven, eight." The twirled around where Spike was supposed to stand and hip bumped. "Uh-huh!" Rarity shouted. "Oh, yeah!" Pinkie shouted. "And this is where Spike comes in," Rarity whispered jumping into Spike's place then back to hers. "Uh-huh!" "Oh, yeah!" "And Spike comes sing again," Rarity whispered doing the same thing again. "Uh-huh!" "Oh, yeah!" "And this is not working!" Rarity shouted upset. "Oh, yeah, not working! Getting worse, oh yeah!" Pinkie continued singing thinking it was part of rehearsal. "Pinkie!" Rarity shouted at her turning the music off. "We need Spike, let's go over to Twilight's house." They went over to her house and saw that Spike wasn't there. "Sorry guys, Spike isn't here," Twilight said. "I don't know where he went off too." "He's probably at the new restaurant your dad just open," Rarity said. "Actually that doesn't open till tonight," Twilight answered. "Look, I'm sure that Spike will come home later. Come inside, we are about to watch a movie dad found." "What tape is that?" Pinkie asked. "Black Dynamite," Twilight moaned. "I heard that," Night Light cried out in the living room. "You'll love it." "It's actually a movie we loved when you and you're brother were little," Twilight Velvet said. The all went to the living as Night Light puts the disc in the DVD player. Shining Armor came just in time to watch the movie. A scene popped up where Black Dynamite was in the bar with couple of gangsters. "Even if I did know who killed jive-ass brother of yours, what makes you think I'm gonna tell you?" a man asked him. He said nothing. "Get your black ass out my joint... before we beat you like a rented mule." Black dynamite shrugs and turn back to them heading to the front door. "That's right you jive-ass punk," another gangster spoke. "Don't be coming to the hip-hop talking that shit, you dig?" "Yeah, that's right, nigger," another Gangster assaulted him. "Don't ever EVER come-" Black Dynamite flipped the sign on the door saying they we're closed. He shuts the gate and locks it. He turned back to them. Suddenly two gangsters bust through a window surprising Twilight and them. Black Dynamite did a front kick knocking out the light scaring them. As they fought, Twilight and the folks were getting excited seeing him fight. "This is so cool!" Shining Armor said. "Where has this been all my life?" Everybody shooshes him continuing watching Black Dynamite. Back in school. Rarity and Pinkie was by their lockers talking about Spike. "Did you ever hear from Spike?" Pinkie asked. "No, I called him a zillion time," Rarity said. "I'm starting to get worried, what if he got kidnap by someone or maybe he's sick." Suddenly they saw Spike with college students asking Spike to look into the future. "I don't think no one ignored my text," Pinkie said. "Look, people, Spike can only tell one future at a time," Fleur said to them. "Me first." Spike concentrated making that weird face again. He stops and congratulated her. "You're getting a 'B' in Biology," Spike answered. Spike walks over to a couple and made a weird face at them. He stops and had a disappointed face. "You going to the prom, just not with him." "Spikey-Wikey~~~!" Rarity cried out waving at him. "Can I speak to you for a second?" "Excuse, I need to see what my friends needed," Spike said to them and walked over to Rarity. "Yes, what is it." "Who are the people you're hanging?" Pinkie asked. "They asked me if I could look into their future," Spike said excitedly. "It's so cool." "Spike those are personal," Rarity said. "Anyway, where were you last night?" Spike tilted his head when he suddenly remembered. "Oh, right! I'm so sorry, you two!" Spike said. "But ever since I can predict the future, amazing things happened." "You're suppose to keep it a secret," Pinkie said. "Says the one who tweeted about me gazing into the future," Spike said. "I thought they wouldn't believe me!" "Well, they do now." "See you at lunch, my little Spikey-Wikey~~~!" Fleur cried out to him waving goodbye. Rarity grew furious. Spike suddenly had a vision again. Spike could see Fleur and him having a good time together in the hallway. The vision stops when Rarity shoves him. "Spike this is getting out of hand!" Rarity said to him. "You're not yourself when you're having visions." "Like what?" Spike asked. "Pinkie!" Rarity snaps her fingers at her. "You're having visions, you're acting weird, you do strange looks on your face, you staring to fall for Fleur, you're skipping rehearsal, you didn't come to the grand open at your dad's restaurant, your family watch Black Dynamite without you, Twilight was worried about you when you showed up late at night, Rarity's worried, I'm worried, and you're not acting yourself," Pinkie inhaled the air catching her breath. "You guys are just jealous," Spike spoke. "Jealous of what?" Rarity asked. "Of me being popular." "Spike, you think they're your friends," Pinkie spoke. "They're using you for your predictions, and I should know this." "Yeah, here's another prediction," Spike made the same face he did when he had a vision, only this time he was faking it. "Goodbye!" Just like that, Spike walks off. Rarity was heart broken when Spike left her and Pinkie. "Come on, even I could've predicted that," Pinkie said. That day, the two of them were at Night Light's new restaurant. There was clean table, clean floors, everything was perfect. Night Light is the head chef around making orders and also delivering them. Group of people were enjoying their meal and enjoying the place. Twilight was working with her father and served the food to Pinkie and Rarity seeing them all sad and down. She knew what was going on with her friends. "So, you guys still not talking to Spike?" she asked knowing his own brother can see into the future. "No," Rarity murmured her words. "Since he became psychic, he thinks he's all that." "Now he's ignoring us," Pinkie said in a sad tone. "Spike? Spike is not like that," Twilight said to her. "He's still the same lovable guy we all love." Suddenly they heard chanting from outside calling Spike's name. A group of students came in carrying Spike on their shoulders. Spike was enjoying his moment for the first time. "I'm king of the world!" Spike shouted happily as they sat in a table. "Like I said, he's lovable," Twilight said shaking her head and left into the kitchen. Pinkie and Rarity could hear Spike's conversations with the students sitting with him. "Spike, you were right," Fleur said. "I got a 'B' on my Biology test." Everybody was impressed by him. "Your visions are amazing," she continued. "Everybody loves you." They all patted him on the shoulder. "You do? You all love me?" Spike said just like the vision he had. Pinkie and Rarity moaned and ate their food trying to ignore Spike. "Rarity, I was thinking," Pinkie spoke as she kept eating her food. "Spike seems to enjoying himself over there, and he looks happy. Shouldn't we be glad for him?" "Why?" Rarity asked. "Because, if Spike is happy than we should be happy," Pinkie continued. "Maybe that those people are mind poisoning him and it wasn't his fault that he snapped at us, maybe we should go and apologies." "I guess you're right," Rarity said. "Spike is ten after all, and he hasn't had something like this before in his life." "So we go and apologies to him," Pinkie said. "Just not now when the college students are around him," Rarity said. As they resume eating, Spike got out of the table and went to the bathroom. After he went, he washed his hands and was disturbed by a person. "Is it true you can look into the future now?" the person said. "Yes, sire, I most certainly-" Spike turned to see Garble in a flash. He quickly wiped his smile away and had fear written all over him. "GARBLE!" "I've been looking for you," Garble said to him pointing. "I'm sorry what I did to you!" Spike got down on his knees and climbed onto Garble's shirt begging. "I promise I won't ruin your life again! I swear it! Just please don't kill me!" Spike began to cry but Garble got him back up shaking him. "Hey, calm down," Garble said politely to him. "I'm not going to kill you." Spike stops crying wiping the tears off his face. He wasn't sure if he would believe him or not after what he did to him. "I heard you can predict the future," Garble went on. "How about you do me a favor and we'll call it even of what you did to me." Spike was still speechless and couldn't speak a single word. "Look, I'll try a little test for you," Garble said taking out a note with funny names written on it. "Look at the names and see what pops in your head." Spike slowly took the note and looks through it. He made the funny face again and saw a name in his head saying Live Wire. Spike stops his vision and went back to Garble. "Live Wire," he spoke. "Awesome," Garble patted his shoulders. "Now if your prediction comes true like they say, consider it even." Garble handed him twenty dollars and left. Spike looks at the bill and rushed out of the bathroom. "This is twenty dollars, Garble!" Spike cried out. "There's plenty more where that came from, too," Garble said as he left the building. Spike looks back at the money and started to smile and did a little funny dance. Back at the house, Shining Armor entered the house coming home from school when suddenly his parents stops him and shoves him into the living room. Shining Armor was about to say something but his parents beat him to it. "We need to talk," Night Light said to him very serious. "The principal called and she said that you call Mr. Discord a 'jive turkey sucker'?" Twilight Velvet spoke crossing her arms. "Somebody had to stand up to the man," Shining Armor said quoting from the movie Black Dynamite. "Shining Armor, how many times did you watch Black Dynamite?" Night Light asked. "Just a dozen... cousin," Shining Armor said to him. "Those quotes aren't even in the movie," Velvet said. "I watch others movies back from the 70's, getting ready for tomorrow night." "Just because people act a certain way in movies doesn't mean they do in real life," Night Light said. "So when you go to school tomorrow, you apologize to Mr. Discord," Velvet said. "And Ms. Cheerilee, too?" "What did you say to her?" Night Light asked. "I told her that if she keeps her hair flowing down freely, she looked like one foxy mama," he answered hearing his parents moaned. The next day Spike was walking down the hallway in school. Fleur ran into him and squats down to his level and kissed him on the cheek. "Hi, Spike," she said happily to him. "I saw this in a vision," Spike said. "Can you make that cute face of yours and tell me if anything good might happen," Fleur said. "Let me see what I can see in the future," Spike said making the face again. He had a vision but something wasn't right. It was blurry and people words were muffled. Spike couldn't understand what they were saying or see what was happening. He stops for a moment shaking his head getting his focus back. "Are you okay?" Fleur asked him. "Uh... yeah, I just wasn't ready yet," Spike answered getting his focus back. "Let me try it again." He did the same thing only this time the vision couldn't show up. In his head it was mushy and even more blurry. People words were even worser of hearing. Spike stops shaking his head again. "This is not good," Spike said to himself. "What's not?" Fleur asked. "I can't see the future anymore." "What?" "I guess the energy I had from the comet gave me is wearing off." "Are you saying you can't gaze into the future?" "I'm sorry, I guess I can't." Fleur sighed and stood back up. "It's okay, even without you seeing my future, you still a cute little boy," Fleur said happily and walked off. "Well that went okay, I guess," Spike said. He head to his locker and opens it. A speaker with a music player slides out playing funky rhythm. Not only that but the inside of it was decorated with purple fur on the wall, green light bulbs hanged from the to, and a giant mirror hanging on the locker door enough to fit. Spike took a moment hearing the music and looking at his remodel locker as he closes it. The music stopped. Spike checked to see if this was his locker. The number the same and the combination he used was the same. He reopens the locker and the music continued playing. "Well, all right!" Spike cried out happily as he dancing with the music. Garble came by shutting his locker getting Spike's attention. "You like what I did to your locker?" he asked. "Garble, you did this, man?" Spike asked. He swing the locker back open and dance with the music again. When he finished, he shuts it back and turned back to Garble. "That's funky, man! But why?" "The horse you picked won," Garble said seeing Spike confused. "What horse?" Spike asked. "Live Wire. He won at the race, and man, I won a loud of cash," Garble said. Spike laughed a bit and was serious. "Wait a minute, I picked a horse for you to bet on?" Spike asked. "Isn't that gambling?" "Not when you told me the name," Garble said laughing. "The police won't know, they won't suspect a thing. It's bullet proof, Spike." Spike shrugs without saying a word and walks off. Garble stops him. "That's why I need you to do that thing again," Garble said handing him the list of names. "Pick me out another winner." "I don't know," Spike said. "Just make that stupid face of yours and tell me who'll win!" Garble barked at him. "Right," Spike quickly said already looking through the names. He was afraid that his vision might fail him again. He was right sadly. He couldn't see anything in his mind. It was gone. His power was long gone. What would Spike do? He couldn't tell Garble that he lost the power. So the only thing he could do was make a random guess. There was ten names, but he had to choose won. "I'm getting something," Spike lied as he made the face. He swings his finger around still choosing the name. His finger struck on a name and hope for the best. "Mur the Blur." "Mur the Blu-" Mur the Blur," Spike repeated before Garble could ask. "Huh? He's never won a race before," Garble said. "He'll pay off big time, and I'm betting it all on this one." Garble walks off and head out of the building. Spike was worried. What he said might've been true. "Yeah. Guess I am, too," Spike said worried. At Rarity's store and house, her and Pinkie were combing their big bushy afro wigs. Pinkie has black and Rarity has white. They were already dressed up for tonight. Pinkie wore a black shirt exposing her belly and black silk bell bottoms with black heals. Rarity wore a white jacket zipped up and wore the exact pair of pants like Pinkie. "I still wish Spike was doing the song with us tonight," Pinkie said still thinking about Spike. "Pinkie, I thought we said we were not gonna talk about this," Rarity snapped at her. "Your right, I forgot," Pinkie said. "Not a single word." They continued combing their wigs. Rarity stops and bust into tears. "I just can't belive that, you know, he decided to ditch us!" she cried emotionally. "I mean, I-I'm proud of him for being popular and all, but all the girls are like, 'Ooh, Spike, you so cute' 'You so psychic, Spike' 'You got the prettiest little eye...'" Rarity started to grew furious and combs her wig roughly. "Rarity! Rarity! Calm down!" Pinkie cried out making Rarity stop. "Come on now... Don't wig out." Pinkie joked as she began to laugh hearty like. She snorted and fell to the floor dying of laughter. Rarity felt her phone vibrate and check to see who it was. To her surprise it was Spike sending a message to her. She gasps as she quickly helped Pinkie up. "Oh, my goodness, Pinkie!" Rarity said. "What?" Pinkie stops laughing. "Spike is in trouble! He lost his power and helped Garble bet on the wrong horse! We got to go help him, he's at Night Light Tonight!" Rarity said as she took her wig and dash out the door. At Night Light Tonight, Spike entered the building seeing his dad wearing a fake afro. Inside the restaurant was decorated for 70's night. Peace signs were hanging from the ceiling, another replica of a disco ball hung, and a stage for tonight's show. "Hey, Dad," Spike said. "Hey, hey, hey!" Night Light said in a groovy tone making Spike laugh. "Mind if I hang out and watch a little TV?" Spike asked. "News, sports, horse race results?" "Sure, just get ready for tonight," Night Light said. "70's night is about to start in an hour and I need to get home getting my boogie clothes on." Night Light walks off till Spike stopped him. "Dad, wait," Spike wanted to say that he wanted to stay incase Garble shows up, but he didn't want to disappoint him of what happen between them two. "Sorry I missed you're grand opening." "It's okay, son," Night Light gave him a soft smile. "I'm glad you apologized." He finally left and headed home. Spike only hopes that Garble doesn't show up. "Ok, TV,"Spike said to himself. He hops over the counter and grabs a remote. He flicks the TV on and saw the news pop up. "Here's the latest from the Comet Watch," the news reporter announced on TV. "Pyramid's Comet has left the building. Goodbye for another 100 years. And goodbye to all those wacky stories of people claiming the Comet gave them weird powers." "Boy, there's a lot of nuts out there," Spike said chuckling. He flicks to the next channel to see which horse won the race. "In a sports update, a new record was just set," a man said on TV showing the horses racing. "As Mur the Blur came in dead last for the 27th time." Spike had a worried look. Sure enough, it shows Mur the Blur coming in dead last. He turned the TV off and sighed. "Some race, huh?" Garble spoke. Spike eyes widen. He was afraid to turn around to see if this was really him. He took a moment to relax and try to find a way to act innocent . "Garble!" Spike happily said, but was still afraid in the inside. "So... what the hell happen?" Garble asked. He seems a bit cool about it. "Well, you know," Spike walks up to him telling him the truth. "The comet that came through the other day, funny thing-" "There's nothing funny about losing my money!" Garble was finally serious. "'Cause when I lose, you pay." "But if we were in an opposite universe, then I would lose and you would pay," Spike tried to make things funny for the both of them. Turns out it got worse for Spike when he saw the look Garble was giving him. "OK, that's still not good." "You know what?" Garble grabs his shirt with one hand and raises him off the ground. "Just take it easy, OK?" Spike begs. BAM! "Freeze, suckas!" Rarity and Pinkie cried out busting the door open. They held out their fake badges and did a side-kick, threw a punch, and did a stance they came up with acting like real cops. They were wearing their clothes for tonight and were their wigs. Garble immediately drops Spike. Spike got up and saw the two. Either he was happy to see them or was stupid of them to show up like this. "What's going on?' Garble asked. "Who are you two?" The two walks up to him while dancing. They stop and announced who they were. "I'm Yin," Pinkie announced. "Yeah, and I'm Yaaaaang~~~!," Rarity said putting too much emphasis in her name. "And you are stone-cold busted!" Pinkie said swaying her arms. "You're cops?" Garble asked making sure. "Yeah, I know these two," Spike spoke rushing up behind them. "You're in trouble now Garble." "Sho 'nuff," Pinkie pulls him in towards her and Rarity puts her hands on his shoulder posing. "'Cause we a couple of bad mamma-jammas who are not diggin' the vide you been puttin' down!" "What does that mean?" Garble asked again. "It means," Rarity points her finger at him. "If you stop puttin' the squeeze on my soul brother, we gonna forget this happened, ya dig?" Rarity did the robot finishing her sentence. "Wait a minute, let me see your badges," Garble said. They showed him the badges and Garble began scanning at it. "Middle School Junior Police Detective?" "Hey, man! It is a tough job,OK?" Pinkie cried out. "Ever try handcuff a little toddler? They get aggressive and drool on you and gets messed up when you see them crying-" "Yin! Yin! Yin!" Rarity repeatedly said to Pinkie trying to shut her up. "I'll handle it." Garble was starting to get impatient. "We are two foxy mamas you just don't wanna mess with!" Rarity said to him as she danced along with Pinkie. They were both saying Get Down! repeatedly as they danced. Garble soon lost patient and stops them. "Knock it off!" he cried out making them stop dancing. "No way you two are cops." "Are totally!" Pinkie shouted at him. "You guys are going down!" Garble was about to beat them till Spike stand in front of him protecting his friends. "Hold on," Spike said to him. "I picked the horse you bet it. They have nothing to do with it, Garble." "You're right," Garble grabs Spike and lifted him up again. "You're going down!" BAM! "Freeze, sucka!" Night Light cried out in a deep tone busting open the door. Him and Velvet came in dressed up for tonight. Night Light was wearing a shirt that sparkled with sunglasses and Velvet was wearing a silk dress with a headband. "Put your hands in the air!" Velvet cried out. Garble let go of Spike again putting his hands up quickly. "And Wave 'em like you just don't care, hey!" Velvet and Night Light dances making Garble dance with them. Garble stops and was now confuse of what was happening. "What's going on!" Garble cried out. "It's 70's night, my brother!" Night Light answered. "Where's your threads?" "Wait a minute," Velvet spoke. "Aren't you Gloria and George's little boy? Garrett?" "I'm Garble now," Garble said shrugging. "Well, Garble now,"Night Light teased. "What have you been up to?" "I'll tell you, Dad," Spike said. "Little bit of gambling. Threatening me. A little bit of that." "This is none of your business," Garble growled at him scaring him off. "Oh, it's going to be your mother's business when I call her," Velvet threaten him. "Come on," Garble scoffed. "You're not really gonna call my mom." "Night Light, your phone, please," Velvet held out her hand. Night Light searches his phone in his hair and took it out giving it to her. "Wait, please don't call my mom," Garble begged. "I'll be grounded for a year!" Garble saw her dialing. He had an upset look and took off running like a pansy. "And I was afraid of that guy?" Spike said laughing. "You can run, but I'm still calling you mother, Garrett!" Velvet cried out calling her. "So, you guys OK?" Night Light asked. "Yes, Mr. Night Light, thank you," Rarity said in her normal self. "yeah, thanks, Dad," Spike said. "You mind giving us a minute? That is, if these guys are still talking to me." "You got it, brotha man," Night Light said. He left leaving them alone. Spike sighed looking at Rarity and Pinkie. Without a word they walked off. "Wait," Spike stops them. "Rarity, Pinkie, I thought you guys weren't coming after I sent that text message." "Well, after you had that power of yours, you weren't yourself," Rarity spoke. "I understand you haven't had that feeling before, but it was out of hand when you over did it." "But after you said you lost your power and Garble going to beat you to death, we couldn't ignore that," Pinkie said. "I'm actually that my power is gone," Spike said. "After I lost it, I felt horrible after what I did to you guys." "It's okay, my Spikey-Wikey," Rarity said hugging him. "Apology accepted," Pinkie said cheering. "So, we're still friends?" Spike asked. "That depends," Rarity said shrugging. "Can you... get down and funky?" "Oh, sho 'nuff, my sistas!" Spike said dancing along with the girls. BAM! "Freeze, suckas!" Shining Armor cried out busting the door open. He wore a light-blue fur coat, a hat, and carried a cane with. He surprised the three making them jump. "It's party time," Shining Armor continued acting like a pimp. "Mr. Big's in town. So let's get down!" After he said that, a group of people dressed up for tonight came in dancing. They all dance including Spike and his friends. After awhile, the restaurant was crowded with people in their 70's uniforms. Twilight and her friend was there as well in their uniforms. Also Pipsqueak and Comet, they were showing off their dance moves. After the song ended, Velvet came up to the stage speaking into a microphone. "Brothas and sistas, let's give a funky 70's night welcome to Spike 'Brotha Man' and his foxy ladies!" Velvet announced as Spike came out wearing a white suit and a white pimp hat with a long red feather, along with Rarity and Pinkie wearing the same outfit they had on. The song came on as the three started to dance on stage. They really got it down to the rhythm. "Uh-huh!" Rarity shouted. "Oh, yeah!" Pinkie shouted. "Uh-huh!" "Oh, yeah!" "I'm a real funky dude, In a crazy disco mood," Spike sang. "I'm one bad brotha, who dances like a-" "Shut your mouth!" Rarity and Pinkie cried out covering his mouth. "Ain't gonna take no jive, 'cause I'm feeling so alive," Spike continued singing. "Let's work it down, and shake it all around!" "He's a disco dude, in a crazy funky mood," Rarity and Pinkie sang as they dance close to him. "He's looking so hot, that he just can't stop!" "Oh, yeah!" The people dances and cheered on. Twilight and Spike's friends laughed and cheers for them. Spike, Rarity, and Pinkie was enjoying themselves as they dance and sing like their was no tomorrow.
