//------------------------------// // Halloween Bash // Story: The Girls of My Life // by Wildcard25 //------------------------------// One day at Canterlot Junior High, Spike, Snips, Snails, Pip, Featherweight, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were walking through the hall, until they spotted a flyer hanging up. They looked seeing it was Halloween designed, until they read the print, "Wow, Principal Luna and Principal Celestia are hosting a Halloween party at the community center for us and the high school students." Apple Bloom gasped. "Sounds awesome." Scootaloo said. "And cool." Pipsqueak added. "What're you guys gonna go as?" Featherweight asked the group. "I don't know." Snails admitted. "Well, we got a week to figure it out." Snips noted. "And it looks like it'll be a big party if it's opened to our school and the high school." Sweetie Belle added. "Well, we all better start thinking of what kind of costumes to wear." Apple Bloom said. "Right." they agreed, before they headed for class. When classes ended, Spike left the school and met up with the girls at Sugarcube Corner, "So have you girls heard about the Halloween party at the community center?" Spike asked. "You bet we have." Rainbow confirmed. "It's suppose to be spectacular." Pinkie grinned. "You girls have any thoughts on costumes at all?" Spike asked curiously. "I've decided mine months ago." Pinkie answered. "Figures." Spike replied. "I have a general idea." Twilight answered. "I've decided as well." Rarity put in. "Same here." Rainbow added. "What about you, Spike?" Fluttershy asked. "I'm gonna need to brainstorm. But I promise I'll have something ready for the party." he assured them. "Can't wait to see what ya choose." Applejack said. "The feeling's mutual about what you girls will go as." Spike replied. When they got home, Spike was looking online at many characters and famous people he could potentially go as, "Oh, man. So many choices, and some of them just don't say me," he continued to surf the web, until he spotted some inspiration, "Hmm, this one will do." he smiled. As the week went by Spike and the girls worked on their costumes after finishing their homework, and when Saturday came it was the night of the Halloween party. Twilight and the rest of the girls were already in costume and were on their way to Spike's house so they could go together. When they rung the doorbell, Geki answered it, "Hello? Oh, girls, welcome. Please come in. Spike will be with you in a moment. Nice costumes by the way." "Thank you very much." Rarity thanked him, as they waited in the living for their friend. "Spike, the girls are here!" Geki called. "Coming!" Spike called from his room. The girls wait, until they heard the door to his room open. Suddenly they watched as Spike approached them in his costume. He was dressed up as older Elvis Presley complete with a pompadour wig sunglasses, and cape. "Spike?" Fluttershy asked. Spike smirked, "What's happenin' mama's?" he spoke in an Elvis voice. "Spike, you look awesome!" Rainbow cheered. "Quite so." Rarity agreed. "Thanks." he replied, as he surveyed his friends and saw what they were going as. Twilight was dressed as a mage with a fake spell book strapped to her waist, Rarity was dressed like a princess with a blue dress covered in diamonds, Pinkie was dressed as a zombie cheerleader, with make up on her face to give that zombie touch, Applejack was dressed as the female wrestler Tina San Antonio, Rainbow Dash was dressed as her idol Daring Do, and Fluttershy was dressed as a sexy devil with horns and a tail. "Girls, you all look amazing!" he gasped, "Twilight, you look just like a real mage." "Thank you, Spike." she smiled. "Rarity, you look beautiful." "Oh, Spike." Rarity giggled. "Pinkie, I half expected you to be wearing your chicken costume from last year." "Well, I felt it was time for something new. Plus the costume was falling apart." she admitted. "Obviously." Spike agreed. "Here, come closer and let me bite you and become like me." Pinkie finger motioned him to come. "Tempting, but I pass," Spike said, before his eyes widened at Applejack's, "Applejack, you look cool!" "Thanks, sugarcube." Applejack winked at him. Spike checked Rainbow Dash out, "Wow, Rainbow. You look more like Daring Do, than she does herself." "Thanks, buddy." she smirked. "And, Fluttershy, that's quite a statement wearing a costume like that." Spike said, in awe. "Oh, well this was Angel's idea. It's not bad is it?" she asked, while looking a bit embarrassed to be wearing it. "Not bad at all. I think it looks rather fetching on you." Spike admitted. "Really?" Fluttershy gasped, and he nodded causing her to blush. "So what do you think of my costume?" Spike showed off his look. "It's definitely you, Spike." Twilight answered. "But what made ya decide to go for this?" Applejack inquired. "Well, it was a tie between this and the Fonz. Then I remembered how much I love Elvis' songs so the decision was made." "And you picked a winner." Rainbow patted his shoulder. "Thank you there, Priscilla." he spoke in his Elvis voice, and Rainbow laughed. "Well, we better get moving." Applejack suggested. "Right. Mom, dad, we're leaving!" Spike called, as the seven left the house and were on their way to the community center. When they arrived, they entered and saw the whole place was filled with students in costume, out dancing, having refreshments, and getting candy and sweets from bowls and such. "This is looking so awesome." Rainbow beamed. "Well, come on." Spike said as they entered. When many students saw them walk in, they were enamored by their costumes as well as remembering Spike. "There's our party animal!" Thunderlane called, while he was dressed as an alien. "Spike!" the students cheered, as he and the girls approached. Some of the students came over giving him and the girls compliments, until they managed to make their way through the crowd to someplace less occupied. "Look who's still Mr. Popular." Rainbow nudged Spike. "Yeah. I guess so." he admitted sheepishly. "Spike!" voices called, as his entourage at school came over. Apple Bloom was dressed as a rabbit, Sweetie Belle was dressed as a butterfly girl, Scootaloo was dressed as a Cleopatra, Pipsqueak was dressed as a pirate captain, Featherweight was dressed as Spiderman, Snips was Batman, and Snails was Robin. "Hey, guys. Great costumes." Spike admitted. "Thanks, Rarity helped make this for me." Sweetie Belle admitted. "Pip, love the pirate duds." Spike added. "Thank ye, lad." Pip spoke in pirate talk. Spike looked at Snips and Snails as the dynamic duo, "You guys look good too. But personally I think you should've swapped costumes." Snails turned to Snips, "I told you I'd make a better Batman!" "Hey, you lost the toss, Robin." Snips teased him. Suddenly the music halted for a bit, and they saw Celestia and Luna on stage dressed up as well. Celestia was dressed as some goddess representing the sun, while Luna was dressed as a goddess as well representing the moon. "Welcome, everyone," Celestia began, "My sister and I are overjoyed to see all of you could attend the party." "We hope you all have a wonderful time." Luna added, as the students cheered and the festivities continued. As Spike and the girls were hanging out by the snacks at the moment, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were out dancing along with Featherweight and Pipsqueak, while Snips and Snails were trying to pick up girls with little to no luck. "Boy, this party sure is looking great." Spike said, as he took a drink of soda. "I hear ya." Rainbow agreed, as she chugged her soda as well. Each of the girls was planning on asking Spike to dance, but suddenly someone beat them to it. Approaching was Trixie dressed as a witch who spoke, "Spike." "Uh, yes, Trixie?" "The Great and Powerful Trixie!" she began before speaking normally, "Requests a dance from you." "What?" he asked. "WHAT?!" the girls gasped in shock. "Well, thanks, Trixie, but actually I was..." Spike trailed. "Oh, come on, Spike. Just like at your party. I wanna see that wild boy!" she dragged him out to the dance floor. 'Dammit.' the six thought, but had to get out there. When Trixie brought Spike to the dance floor, she started dancing, and Spike decided to start dancing as well, "Yes. That's the wild one I remember." Trixie said, as she had Spike dance with her some more. Spike thought, 'This would be a lot better if I was with the girls. I got to try and get to them. Right after I escape this one. She seems to rub me the wrong way.' As Twilight and the girls tried getting past all the boys from both their school and Spike's they finally found him still being forced to dance with Trixie. "Come on, we're going in." Twilight said, as they went in to help their friend. Before they could reach him however, sliding onto the scene were Vinyl who was dressed as in an outfit from something out of Tron, and Octavia who was dressed as an orchestra conductor. "Sorry, Trixie, but we're cutting in." Vinyl said, as she and Octavia took Spike away. "Hey!" Trixie and the rest of the girls cried in protest. When Spike was with Vinyl and Octavia he spoke, "Thanks, you two. I think." he muttered the last part. "No problem. Love the costume, Elvis." Vinyl winked, and he blushed. "Thanks. The both of you look cool as well." Spike replied. "Glad you like them," Octavia smiled, "Now be the king and get into the groove." she smirked. Spike shivered a bit at the tone in her voice, but decided to dance with them for a bit. As he danced he thought, 'This is much better than dancing with that Trixie. Not that I hate her of course, but I think I'd prefer these two over her. Of course there are others I'd prefer to be with at the moment.' The six finally made their way through the crowd and found Spike again. When he saw the girls he knew he had to make a break for it, "Vinyl, Octavia, thanks for the dance you two." he thanked them before heading to the girls. "Bye." they waved. "Girls, there you are." Spike panted. "We were trying to get to you." Fluttershy said. "But they kept snatching you." Rainbow added. "I know, but I'm glad I caught up to you all. Would you girls like to dance?" he asked. The six gasped seeing he was thinking the exact same thing as they were. They announced, "Yes!" "Then come on." Spike said, as he brought the girls out and began dancing with each of them. As each girl danced with Spike they felt relaxed and overjoyed. Spike himself was glad he could finally dance with his six friends. When he finished one dance with Twilight he spun her before taking Applejack's hand and began to dance with her. Once she got enough time, Spike switched her with Rainbow, followed by Rarity, Pinkie and finally Fluttershy. Suddenly another song came up and Spike spoke, "Oh, yeah I love this song!" he and the rest of the students started dancing as the place was dark and lights of bats, pumpkins, ghosts, and other stuff were flashing and darting around on the walls and the floor. As Spike danced, he removed his cape and tossed it up, and the six friends caught it and held onto it, wanting to keep it, but knew it was part of Spike's costume so they returned it to him. When the next song started, Spike once again recognizing it started leading the girls in the song who followed him perfectly. Soon enough all the students were following along with Spike and the girls. Even Principal Celestia and Principal Luna got into the groove with them. As it got late the party came to an end and the students were heading home. Spike and the girls walked back looking partied out, while Pinkie was still eating candy she took from the party. "This was an amazing Halloween party, girls." Spike said. "Indeed it was." Rarity agreed. "Especially since we were together to enjoy it." Fluttershy added. "I hear that." Applejack agreed. "Oh, yeah." Pinkie said, as she put more candy in her mouth. Spike wishing to have more fun reached into his pocket and pulled out his cellphone and looked through his tunes. He smirked and clicked on one and it started playing. The girls were curious as the song played, until Spike started singing with the lyrics and danced around them. "Spike." Twilight chuckled. "Is your attempt for after party fun?" Rainbow asked, only for Spike to smirk in between the lyrics, before he continued to sing. After much dancing around them as they continued on, the girls eventually decided to dance along with him as they began singing along too. Eventually they stopped in the middle of the empty street and mimicked a dance sequence, before the song ended and they reached their block. "That was fun." Pinkie smiled. "Uh-huh." Fluttershy nodded. "Thank you for that, Spike." Rarity thanked him. "My pleasure, girls. Although before we part for the night I'd like to give you all a little something." Spike said. "What?" Twilight asked. "This." Spike answered, as he kissed Twilight's cheek, taking the girl by surprise. The girls gasped, until they saw Spike go to Rarity and gave her a peck on the cheek as well. Spike continued to Applejack who smiled, Fluttershy who blushed, Rainbow who playfully hid her face, and finally Pinkie who gave a wide grin. "How was that?" Spike asked curiously. "Perfect, Spike." Twilight smiled. "Group hug!" Pinkie declared, as they all hugged Spike, who hugged them back. 'Best Halloween ever.' Spike thought.
