//------------------------------// // The Grand Tour // Story: My Little Decepticon // by Astral Sketch //------------------------------// As Spincap watched the chariot that carried the two princesses fly away, he noticed that Fluttershy had flown up to him. "What do you think of the Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?" she said. "They seem really nice," Spincap replied. "Nice?! Is that all you have to say? they're the greatest!" shot Rainbow Dash, "Right Twilight?" Twilight didn't say anything as she was deep in thought of what Princess Celestia had just asked her to do. "Uh, Twi?" said Rainbow Dash. "Huh? what?" Twilight said. "I said the Princesses are the greatest," said Rainbow Dash. "Oh yes, of course they are," Twilight answered. "Twilight are you O.K?" Rarity asked. "Yes why?" Twilight said. "You were quiet there for a second," said Rarity, "Does it have anything to do with what you and Princess Celestia were talking about just now?" "What?... no," Twilight replied. "What we're the two of ya talk'n about anyways?" Applejack asked. "Nothing... just an new assignment, that's all," Twilight answered. "Are ya sure?" Applejack questioned. "Yes, it's no big deal," Twilight said nervously. Applejack just stared at Twilight questionably as if her instincts were telling her that her friend wasn't telling the truth. "So Spincap what are your plans for today?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I'm... not sure," Spincap replied. *GASP* "I KNOW! I CAN GIVE YOU A FULL TOUR OF PONYVILLE, THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN I KNOW YOU'LL LOVE IT!" yelled the pink mare who was now face to visor with the Cybertronian holding on the sides of his head with excitement. "Uh... sure, if you say so," he answered. "GREAT!! We can start right now!" said Pinkie Pie. "Oh, can I go?" said Spike. "Sure Spike, the more the merrier," said Pinkie, "I mean if it's OK with Twilight." "Please! Twilight," Spike begged on his knees. Twilight stared at her assistant and came up with an idea. If Spike goes along than I can ask him about what Spincap does later she thought. "OK Spike, you can go," she answered. "ALRIGHT!" Spike cheered. "LET THE TOUR BEGIN!" Pinkie Pie declared. Spincap looked at the other five mares who just looked up towards him and shrugged. "ALRIGHT! TO PONYVILLE!" cheered the pink mare. Might as well, best chance to get some Intel of this place he thought as he changed into his vehicle mode. As soon as Pinkie Pie and Spike were inside the vehicle, Spincap closed the doors and drove off into town. The three of them spent the next few hours driving all over Ponyville as Pinkie Pie pointed out the all its locations. "That's town hall over there where the Mayor works, you didn't hear this from me but her mane is not naturally grey." "And that's Sugar Cube Corner where the Cakes work and live and so do I, we also make the best cakes in all of Equestria!" "That's the market place and, and? OH! and that over there is Carousel Boutique where Rarity makes the most amazing dresses." Spincap was doing his best to remember all of the places they went to even though the pink mare continued to talk none stop. Spincap also noticed how many of the residents watched with excitement as they drove by. He could even hear some of them talking about how much they would like a chance to have a ride too. By late afternoon Pinkie Pie had finished her tour and after being dropped off at Sugar Cube Corner. Now that it was just him and Spike, Spincap drove back to his cave and when they arrived Spike jumped out so that he can change back into his robot mode. "You sure you don't need to be back home?" Spincap asked. "No way I'm fine," said the baby dragon, "besides I'd rather hang out with you." "Alright," Spincap replied. The Cybertronian then sat down on a giant rock at his work table and as he went through some tools Spike took the time to look around. That's when the baby dragon noticed one of the containers full of Energon. "Hey Spincap isn't this that stuff you drink for food?" Spike asked looking inside. "Huh? you mean the Energon right?" Spincap answered. "Yeah, I mean if you drink the stuff then why do these look like crystals?" Spike asked. "Oh, that's just its solidified form, makes it easier to store," Spincap said. "Do you think I can try one?" Spike asked. "What? You eating an Energon crystal?" Spincap said as he turned to the baby dragon. "I mean if it's O.K with you," said Spike. "Well it's just I never heard of an organic consuming Energon before," Spincap replied, "I wouldn't know how it'll affect you." "I eat crystals all the time, I don't see how will Energon be any different?" said Spike. "...I guess you can try a piece," Spincap said. "Cool!" said Spike as he grabbed a small Energon crystal. Spike inspected the crystal in his claw and gave it a quick sniff and after a moment's pause bit into the crystal and then after chewing it he took a second one finishing it. *crunch*crunch* "Hmm," *crunch* "It tastes kind of funny," *Gulp* "I'm not sure I like-" Spike's pupils instantly shrank into tiny dots, then they widen far bigger than usual. "Uh Spike?... are you o.k.?" Spincap asked noticing that Spike was starting to shake. "WWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Spincap was stunned as he watched Spike jump all over the place faster than it would seem possible. "AWESOMEAWESOMEIFEELAWESOMEICANDOANYTHING!!!!" he yelled as he ran right passed Spincap and was out of the cave. "SPIKE! SPIKE!" Spincap yelled as he ran after him. Spincap stopped as soon as he was at the cave entrance but the baby dragon was already far from sight with only a single trail of dust in the air leading straight back to Ponyville. "Oh scrap," he said. Twilight was alone inside of the library writing down notes on a piece of paper and then suddenly the front door bust opened. The force causing not only all of Twilight's notes to fly everywhere but also many of the booked were knocked to the floor from their shelves. "WHAT THE!?" Twilight yelled then she noticed that it was Spike that cause the sudden bust. "SPIKE!? What are you- " Twilight was not able to finished her statement as the baby dragon started to reek havoc inside. "TWILIGHTYOUWONTBELEIVEHOWAWESOMEENERGONISIFEELAMAZINGLIKEICANDOANYTHING!!!" "What!? Spike I can't understand a word your-" *crash* "SPIKE!! What is wrong with you!? will you just stop!" yelled Twilight. But her commands were ignored and she struggled to subdue the purple dragon as he ran and jumped all over the library all the while cheering with excitement as he continued to knock over the books and furniture.
