//------------------------------// // Ch6: A Complicated Day // Story: The Ending Life of Spike: Book 4 // by Dark Matter 101 //------------------------------// Chapter 6 A Complicated Day The next day, the sleeveless man was guarding the front entrance doors at the school. Spike was across the street hiding in the bush with binoculars and recording tape. "9:32 am, ugly bastard guarding the front entrance," Spike spoke into the tape as he watches through the binoculars. He saw a back van passing by heading to the football field. "Okay, 9:32 half am, school is not empty." A strange bright light shined in the school again in the same spot. He took his binoculars out a looking through them. All he could see was scientists roaming around the room. "9:32 and three quarters, mysterious bright light again… I'm going in for a closer look," Spike recorded and sneaks over to the school. He made sure Tirek didn't saw him. Spike sneaks behinds the bushes quietly headed towards the windows. Through the glass window, scientists was talking over about something. It was hard to say what it was about, but easy to see what they have in their hands. A crystal shape heart shines a bit. They were wearing goggles so they wouldn't be blind. Spike watches as they placed it in a machine that looked like a ray gun. Once placed in, the murmured to each other preparing the ray gun. One of the scientists turned the machine on starting it. It shot out a bright light blinding Spike. He blocked the light from his hands as it started to die out. He opens his eyes and was shocked with wonder. Everything in the room floated in midair except for the scientists. Chairs, desks, paper, textbooks, everything floated like magic. Spike stared blankly in the room. When they turned it off, everything fell to the ground scattering. Spike gasps as he made a run for it back home. In the kitchen, Velvet was washing dishes. She hummed to herself singing. A loud cry came from outside yelling at her name. "Mom! Mom!" Spike holler at her. He ran into the door face first. "Spike?!" Velvet cried out as she rushed to the door unlocking it. She saw him on the ground rubbing his head. She helped him up brushing the dirt off of him. "Spike, sweaty, are you okay?" "Mom! The guys at the school!" Spike explained to her. "They're doing some kind of evil experiment!" "Oh, Spike, that bonk on your head must've rattle your brain," Velvet said thinking he was injured. "But, Mom!" he whined. "Oh my goodness, you're running a fever!" Velvet placed her hand on his forehead. "You wait right there, I'll go get my first aid kit for." She rushes upstairs into her room getting what she needs. Spike stood there thinking who else would listen. "Uh, Dad! Dad!" he rushed into the backyard seeing that he was grilling steak. "Dad!" "What is it, son?" he asked putting sauce on the stakes. "There're bad guys who has a laser beam that makes every nonliving thing float in midair and-" "Spike, did you ran into the front door again?" he turns to him thinking it was a silly story. "No, but- Yeah, but- GGRRRRRRR!" Spike furiously took off to town to see if anyone would listen. "Hey, come back! Your mom might want to check your injury!" Night Light shouted. At the police station, Snip and Snails heard about Spike's story who thought it as funny to them but went along with it. "Alright, Spike, we got it all in the report," Snips said at the front desk. "We'll take care of those mad scientists." "Yeah, nobody is going to levitate my belongings on my watch," Snails chuckled. So did Snips snorting. Spike wasn't amused by this joke at all. "Look, Snails, someone is levitating my stapler… with a laser beam!" Snips held his flashlight aiming at the stapler. The two laughed as Spike walks out of the building furiously. He walks down the sidewalk and sat on a bench. "How am I going to get people to believe me?" he said to himself. He notice Discord walking by him wearing his golf uniform and carrying his golf clubs. He entered his car and drove off. That's when Spike thought he was his only hope. "Mr. Discord! Wait!" Spike ran after him. The car was faster than him, but he knew exactly where he was headed. Later that day at a gold course, Discord was out on the field with Zecora and Harshwhinny. Discord was playing as his turn was next to the seventh hole. The pressure build up on him as he talked about school and the students. "I could have any job I the world. Tax payer, house dealer, a businessman, but all I got is a pain in the butt kids working as a teacher," Discord told his story to them practicing his swing. "Come on, Discord, you gonna mumble jumbo all day or are you going to putt," Zecora spoke. "Okay, okay, I'll putt," he said swinging his putting club. "Mr. Discord!" Spike shouted at him causing him to hit the ball into the pond. He turned to see Spike huffing out air sweating. "Mr. Discord, come quick! It's an emergency!" "Well, if it isn't Robin Hood who stole my goods and fed them to the animals," Discord said. "Well, you were going to sell ice-cream for cash," Iron Harshwhinny spoke. "Hey, what happen to Drug Dealer Whinny?" Discord back talked her. "Sorry." "Mr. Discord, please," Spike continued. "I was at the school when I saw evil bad guys at the school with some kind of laser beam and-" "Don't play dumb with me, Spike," Discord interrupted him. "Sure there has been weird things happening around town since you came here, but a laser beam?" "It's not a joke, sir, honest! They have this crystal and-" Spike stops knowing it would sound stupid if he told him. Like his parents and the police. "Oh, please, sir, at least let me show you what I'm talking about!" "Just stop the act and let me continue playing my game, Spike," Discord said. "Oh, go with him, Discord," Zecora said. "Yeah, if it's an emergency at school, at least check on it for me and Zecora," Harshwhinny said as the two of them laughed. "Alright, let's get this over with," Discord gave up. He didn't want to hear his friends joking around him. He and Spike walked off heading to the school. To their arrival, Discord parker his car near the building. Spike notice that Tirek wasn't in sight. They got out looking around the place. "Seems normal to me," Discord said. "Can I go back to my game?" "Just wait till you get inside, Mr. Discord, you'll see," Spike said to him. "…The things I do for you kids," Discord walks up the front entrance with his keys out. "Sometime I always think you and your friends would pull a prank at me, but since they're not here what can you do?" He walks up to the door finding the keys. When he did he jiggles them in the keyhole. "I never thought I come back to this school for another two mo-" A blue bolt of lightning struck him from the keyhole making him scream in pain. Spike was screaming his head off seeing him getting electrocuted. Discord grabs his wrist with his free hand trying to pull the key out. A flash of bolt surrounded him and disappeared. Spike stood quiet with his hands on his head. He slowly walks up to the front entrance looking for Discord. "S-S-Sir?... Mr. Discord, sir?" Spike softly called out to him. He stepped on something beneath his shoe. The shoes Discord's wore were smoking as it melted slowly. Spike screams taking off running. He head back home tripping over the ground but kept running. When he reached to the front door, he slams it behind him and locked it. He then took out his recorder and began talking into it. "Mr. Discord has been terminated. Meaning dead! There is definitely something going on in that school. The cops won't listen. Mom and Dad won't listen… I gotta get my friends back together, it's the only way if I'll be able to stop this." At the police station, Shining Armor was filing paper as Spike told him everything. "Look, Spike, I like to help but this sounds crazy," he said putting papers in the cabinet. "But you believe me?" Spike said. "I didn't said I believe you," Shining waved the papers at him. "I said it was crazy. Why? Because getting the girls, your boys, or whoever out of camp means breaking the law. And the S.W.A.T. van are for emergencies, and this does not count as one." He resumes filing as Spike took out his phone browsing through pictures. "Then you wouldn't mind if I send a picture of you pretending you were one of the Back Street Boys, would you?" Spike made Shining Armor startled, dropping the papers. "How?" he whispered glaring at his little brother. "I got copies," he showed him in a picture of him in uniform the boys would wear. And singing in a unplugged microphone. "That was a couple years back, how the hell did you found them?" "Big brother, I'm a genius eleven year old boy," Spike said leaning forward. "Duh." Shining Armor drove Spike in the S.W.A.T. out of town getting the gang back together. The look Shining had on his face was dark and furious. And Spike was sitting back relaxed smiling. "Who are we getting, Spike?" Shining asked still, mad at least. "We're going to Sport Camp; Rainbow Dash," Spike answered. "Why there?" "We're getting her and Twilight's friends. You don't have to worry about Applejack though, she's still in town." "You do realize that you're paying the gas money." "Yeah, when I get a job. Don't worry, as a kind sweet big brother you are, you have my word." In Sport Camp, kids were playing baseball, football, tennis, track, lifting bell bars, you name it. Rainbow Dash was running on track while Pipsqueak was playing baseball. On the field, Iron Will was coaching the players. "Get that front leg up, Compass Star! You called that a pitch, Parasol?" he yelled. He spotted Pipsqueak pitching the ball. "Okay, deep breathes," Pipsqueak said to himself breathing. "Relax, just relax. Now aim at the target, aiming is key in baseball." He threw the ball hitting the cage wall. Wasn't even close to his target. He slaps his head embarrassing himself. "Come on, Pipsqueak! You just throw it! Don't aim it!" Iron Will shouted. "I know! I know!" Pipsqueak cried out beating his glove. "I can pitch just fine back in school." Rainbow Dash saw him upset. She shook her head continuing jogging. A brushing bush caught her attention calling out her name quietly. The bush shook the leaves out showing Spike's face. "Spike?" Dash gasp. She looks around seeing if anyone was watching her. She rushed over to him entering the bush. "What are you doing here?" "You have to come back to town, something's wrong at the school," Spike told her the truth. "I can't just leave camp!" Dash whispered to him loudly. "I know it may sound weird and stupid, but at the school Mr. Discord is dead!" Spike spat out his words. "Dead? That's more than weird. You're insane," Dash as about to get mad over him when Spike showed her his melted shoes. "Am I?" Back in the van, Rainbow dash sat in the back joining Spike and Shining. "How the hell did Mr. Discord died?" Dash asked. "I'll tell you once we get the others, right now we're going to Science Camp," Spike said. The van made a complete stop in the middle of the road. Spike and Rainbow Dash both jerked forward and back. "We're getting Twilight?" Shining shouted. "You realize how far that is? She's out of the state! I'm not diving you there!" Spike took his phone out playing a video out loud. Shining Armor was singing in the video catching Dash's curiosity. "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don't you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?" "Whoa! Let me see that!" Dash took the phone from him watching Shining dancing and singing. "Jerk," Shining mumbled as he drove to Science Camp. In Science Camp, Twilight was going over research on the computer. She printed her paper and took off into the office. "Mr. Director! Mr. Director!" Twilight shouted into the office. "What is it now, Twilight?" he said behind his desk moaning. He rolled his eyes at her. "I found some research about the moon being misplaced," Twilight explained. "If you could look at the papers real quick you can see it moves in a different direction." "Look, I would like to look over your theory," he said pushing them back to her. "But I got a meeting to go to, so if you don't mind." "But-" Twilight saw Director walk out of his office. She sighs throwing her papers away into the trash can. "Why do I even bother?" She walks back into the computer lab noticing Spike and Rainbow Dash in the room waiting for her. "Did you miss me? Cause I sure miss you," Spike said receiving a bonk on the head. Rainbow Dash as well. "What the hell are you two doing here!" she cried out yelling. "Well, you're not going to believe this, but…" Dash explained. In the car, Twilight was watching a video on Spike's phone. She saw her big brother dancing and laughed. "Alright, now to Pinkie, then Rarity, and last Fluttershy," Spike said to Shining. "We'll get Applejack in town later." "Actually, Pinkie and Rarity are at the same camp together," Twilight said. "So it wouldn't be a problem." "Perfect! I'll go get Pinkie, while you two get Rarity," Spike said. In Fashion Camp and the music program next door, Pinkie and Rarity was sitting in the theater room going over a play. "Rarity, you sure are good acting crying," Pinkie said watching her crying in tears. "That's because I am crying, Pinkie!" Rarity yelled at her as her mascara. "I miss my Spikey-Wikeyyyyyyyy!" "Rarity, we're only here for two months, we'll see him again," Pinkie said brightening her up. "But he's all alone and no one to comfort him!" Rarity showed her the outfits she made. It was Spike's clothes. "This is how desperate I miss him. I can't forget his smile, he kind, I just can't survive without my baby!" "…Right. I gotta go on stage and warm up my vocal cords," Pinkie said walking upstage. "Try and make clothes that aren't the color green or purple." Rarity went to the clothing room to make more dresses. Pinkie grabs her sheet music and cleared her throat. "Alright, everyone, I want you to be my angels and sing to the Gods," Cheese Sandwich cried out conducting. They all sing warming up. "Do Ti La So Fa-" As Pinkie practice, she was pulled down by Spike whispering into her ears. He told her everything about the school and Discord. "Mi!?" In the clothing room, Rarity made and clothes for the others calming down as she sows. She felt relaxed. Pure. That's when Twilight and Rainbow Dash came in taking her without answer. Back in the van, Rarity was hugging Spike with her arms and legs, wrapping her whole body around him as he blushed. "Spikey-Wikey! I missed you so much!" she said in sweet talk. "I miss your blush when us girls hugs you!" "Rarity! I can't breathe!" Spike choked. Pinkie joined in hugging him as well. "I missed you, too, Spike!" Pinkie shouted. The two were crushing Spike with their breasts making him turn bright red. "Could you take us to Fluttershy while I go free our little brother?" Twilight said to him. In Military Camp, Fluttershy was standing outside with Garble who was yelling at her. She stood up straight with a serious face. "You are a pathetic litter cunt, Fluttershy!" Garble yelled in her face. "You will never be a leader! Now stand their till I return without moving a muscle! Do you hear me? NOT A MUSCLE!" He walked off leaving Fluttershy alone for now. That's when Spike and the girls came up to her quickly. "Fluttershy, I know this may sound weird, but listen to me," Spike said to her. "There's something going on at the school. Discord is dead, there are goons at the building, and…" He notice that Fluttershy didn't budge an inch or looked at him. He snaps his fingers in front of her see if she blinked. "Rarity, you take front, I'll take the end of her," Rainbow Dash said as the two picked her up like a stiff board she is. "Is she okay?" Twilight asked. "She's in deep fear when someone yells at her like that," Dash explained. In the van, Fluttershy was sitting still in the sit. Spike leans forward seeing if she was okay. "Fluttershy?" he said to her and got tackled by her hug crying. "SPIKE, HOW I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" she nuzzled him to the floor crying. "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME EVER AGAIN!" "I won't, Fluttershy, honest!" Spike said taking her hug for once. "Can I please nuzzle you till we get back home?" she looked at him with teary eyes. "Sure," Spike said to her. "I'll call Applejack to let her know we're meeting at the school," Rarity said. Later that day when the sun went down, the whole gang was together again. Spike went up to Shining thanking him. He drove off and now on his own again. "Okay, Spike, what's going on?" Applejack asked. "And as a friend, this better be worth it." "It will be, just follow me," Spike said running to the bushes. The others followed him and peeked through the bush. They could see men coming in and out of the building carrying boxes in their vans. They guarded the front entrance and around them. "Who are those people?" Fluttershy asked. "Maybe their government agents," Twilight spoke. "Or gangsters," Applejack guessed. "Maybe aliens from another planet taking over the world," Pinkie spoke. "Pinkie, stay out of this, this is serious," Dash said to her. "Whoever they are, we need to steal those boxes," Spike said thinking of a plan. They unload the last box out of the van. They notice Rarity distracting them. "Sorry, kind gentlemen," she said to them purposely bumping into them. "I was out for a walk when I notice something about the school." "Get out of here, bitch," the man said. Rarity jaws dropped as they struck her heart. "I never!" she kicked him in the leg walking off. He cried in pain hopping up and down on one leg. His friend laughed at him. "Shut up!" "You sure have a way with women," he said to him. He turn to see the box gone. "Hey, where's the box?" "The others probably took it in, let's go before she comes back," the injured man walked back inside. Rainbow Dash and Applejack carried the box on the other side of the street undetected. They put the box down as the gang surrounded it. "That weighs a ton," Applejack said. "Heavier than my wagon back home." "Because it's filled with alien eggs," Pinkie said. "Rainbow Dash is right, stay out of it," Twilight said to her. Spike took the crowbar and struck it in. He pushes it down popping the lid off. Wasn't too hard. He removed the lid and wasn't happy what he saw. Stack of papers was inside. "Papers for the school?" Fluttershy said. "Let's see; weather maps, test scores, schedules…" Applejack flip through papers. "This one is in German," Twilight said looking at a paper typed in Germany. "This is just a bunch of school stuff for next year," Rarity said. "You got me out of Sports Camp for this, Spike?" Dash was getting onto him. "Just to see what's coming next semester?" "No! Something is going on in the school!" Spike cried out. "Don't be hard on him, Rainbow Dash," Rarity said. "We all know what his life was like before he came here. It must have been tough for him being alone." "So that was it then? Just to hang out again as we skip camp?" Twilight asked. "Garble is going to chew me up," Fluttershy said beginning to cry again. "I'm telling the truth!" Spike shouted. "I saw Discord died right in front of my own eyes! I wouldn't lie to you guys!" "Well, if Mr. Discord is dead, then who's that?" Pinkie points over to the school seeing Discord locking the school building. He was in a suit with a briefcase in his hand. He entered the car driving off. Spike was speechless with eyes widen of confusing. "But he… I saw him… He got electrocuted and…" he turned to his friends seeing the dirty looks they gave him. "Come on guys, we're leaving," Twilight said as they walked off. "NO WAIT!" Spike rushed over in front of them to stop them from going anywhere. "I'm not making it up! I swear! I-I-I-" A loud steel noise roared making Spike look over to the school building. He dropped his jaws and walked over to the street speechless. "Aye aye aye aye aye," he said without looking back to his friends. The girls saw the horrific sight he was looking at. They all dropped their jaws and walked up to the street with amazement. The roof opens slowly releasing a giant long needle pointing to the sky. It has five giant rings in the middle of the needle. It slowly leans down pointing to sky across town. It glowed brightly making a roaring sound. "What's it doing?" Fluttershy asked. No one answered. It fired a colorful beam. A colorful rainbow shot across the sky. Suddenly it stopped spitting out the juice. The needle quickly stood up straight and back inside the building. The ceiling closed making the school look normal again. Spike and the girls stood their position still looking up. "Okay, I know this isn't the perfect time to say, but the hell with it," Rainbow Dash finally spoke. "That… was sick." Applejack was feeling light headed and fainted on the ground. She slowly woke up seeing the night sky. And her friends standing around her calling her name. "Applejack? Applejack, you okay?" Twilight asked. "Wha…What happen? W-Where am I?" Applejack sputtered puzzled. "You're at your house at the back of the barn," Spike spoke. "I had the weirdest dram that a giant laser beam came from the school roof and-" she continued asking when she realizes it wasn't a dream. "It wasn't a dream, was it?" "Sorry to interrupted, but we've got bigger questions then that," Rainbow Dash said. "What the hell did we just saw back there?" "And if what Spike said was true, then Mr. Discord must've died," Rarity said. "And who's to blame?... Aliens," Pinkie said. "PINKIE!" "Okay, I'm sorry," Pinkie jumped. "We need to go to the police," Fluttershy said. "I went to the police," Spike said. "Snips and Snails just laughed at me." "Say no more, Sugarcube," Applejack said. "We need proof then," Twilight said. "Right, like the stack of papers we stolen is gonna help us on it," Rainbow Dash said. "I got it! I saw this on CSI once, we'll have a stakeout," Spike said. "We'll stay here every night watching the school with Twilight's telescope. And when that laser beam comes out again, we'll videotape it and show it to the police." "We can use my camera in my store," Rarity suggested. "I always have lads of cameras in my home for dresses." "And then later on, we'll be heroes like Spike," Pinkie said. "Only one problem though," Twilight spoke. "What about camp?" Everyone head was down thinking about it. "That's right, if Garble finds out I'm not there, he'll put me in the brig till I die," Fluttershy said. "That's okay, Fluttershy," Spike said. "In the morning, me and Shining Armor will take you guys back to camp, and at night we'll be spies." "And what if the camp consolers notice we're not there?" Dash asked crossing her arms. "You just let me worry about that," Spike grins. At Military Camp, Garble was in the mess hall with the others eating. A soldier rushed in with a phone in hand handing it to Garble. "Phone for you, sir," he saluted and went back outside. "What is it?" Garble answered. "Garble, this is Kevin Armstrong," a man spoke through the phone. "Kevin Armstrong?" Garble questioned taking a sip of water. "Your commanding officer!" he shouted causing Garble to spit his water out and saluted. "Yes, sir! Sorry, sir!" Garble stood up straight. "I hear you have Fluttershy at you base. Good girl. One of a kind," he continued. "She is?" Garble said thinking she was always weak, scared, and a cry baby. "You heard me! One of the best damn soldiers I met! Her looks may fool you, but I have my eyes on her for years!" In Equestria, Spike and the girls was at a telephone boost in town with a machine that changes anyone's voice. The same one they used at the end of the school year framing Discord with. Spike was speaking into a microphone yelling at Garble with no worries. His friends snicker trying to not laugh out loud. "Now pay close attention, Garble," Spike continued on yelling. "I got Fluttershy here on a special assignment tonight. So when she goes back to base, just act like nothing happen." "Yes, sir!" Garble spoke through the phone. Spike had another idea in mind. "And once she comes back, I want you to treat her like a soldier. A daughter of mine in a matter of fact," Spike continued winking at Fluttershy. "She may be shy, but trying her best to build up the courage like the rest of you. So if you make her cry in anyway, I'll through you in the pit so dark you won't tell which ay is up. Carry on." Spike hung up as they laughed out loud. Fluttershy rushed over to hugging him and thanking him. "That was awesome," Dash said. "I'm glad to hear that, because you're next," Spike said. At Sports Camp, Pipsqueak was heading to the showers. He heard his phone ringing and answered it. "Hello?" he answered. "Pipsqueak, I need you to do me a favor," Dash spoke to him. Pipsqueak gasps. "Rainbow Dash, where the hell have you been?" Pipsqueak whispered. "It's a long story, but I need you to cover my back every night. I'll come back tomorrow morning and explain everything," Dash said to him. "Sure, but, I don't think you need to worry though," Pipsqueak said. "Iron Will is a heavy sleeper, so it won't be that complicated." At fashion camp, the crusaders were stuffing junk into Rarity's and Pinkie's bed. They got a call from Rarity not too long ago saying to watch their back at night. "I wonder if we became spies," Applebloom whispered. "I don't know, it'll take a lot of work," Sweetie Belle said. "And we might fail on our first mission for just five minutes," Scootaloo said. Back in town at Applejack's barn, Dash was looking through the telescope seeing the school from here. "Man, Twilight, where did you get this?" she asked. "I won it in a fair when me and Flash was on a date," Twilight said. "A rude man at a dunking water game told me I threw like a girl, so I showed him what I had and never spoke a word again throughout the day." Pinkie, Rarity, and Applejack was laughing as they watch a video of Shining Armor dancing and singing. "Man, I wish I have an older brother," Pinkie said. "You guys, isn't it rude of you three to look over at someone's deepest secrets?" Fluttershy said. "Ask Spike that when he comes back," Applejack said. "He's the one who filmed it." Spike entered the barn with his backpack. "Sorry I'm late, but I had to wait till Mom and Dad went to sleep," Spike said taking leftovers in baggies out of his bag. "Is that steak I see?" Applejack rushed overtaking the steak away from him. "I also brought barbeque sauce for the steak," Spike said taking the bottle out and a bucket of ice-cream. "And vanilla ice-cream for all of us." "ICE-CREAM!" Pinkie cried out as everyone rushed over grabbing a spoon eating. "Guys, we're supposed to eat dinner before dessert," Twilight said to them and all went silent. They burst out laughing. "Man, I missed hanging out with you guys," Dash said eating the ice-cream. "Yeah. Just hanging out with your friends, sharing our laughter," Rarity said. "And spying on the bad guys," Fluttershy said. "This must've been my favorite day with you guys." "It's a shame that once we go off to college though," Twilight spoke sadly as everyone realized that, too. "So this might be the last time we might do stuff together, huh?" Applejack said. "Now that I think about it, we do have to grow up sometimes," Dash said sadly. The barn was dead silent. The crickets chirp outside. As they thought about their last moment before it was over for them. "Remember the time when Sugarcube Corner was reopened and we always go there to eat," Twilight said. "We never skip a single day there. We'll over come over and chat together with Mr. and Mrs. Cake." "Or the time when you gals came to my farm for the first time and played hide and seek," Applejack added. "And Rarity was always found first," Dash said laughing. "I was a clean freak back then, the mud was getting on my dress," Rarity said. Pinkie began to cry as her hair deflated. "What's wrong, Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked. "I remember the time when a group of kids bullied me of the way I acted," Pinkie said crying. "And- And you guys protected me and that's how I made my first friends." She cried over Rarity's shoulder. Rarity comfort her also remembering that day when they tease her. Spike sat quietly thinking. "You know what I'll never forget," Spike said as the girls listened to him. "The first day I came to school. You guys were my first friends I ever made. Just thinking that without you guys my life would be difficult, till you all showed me how to be Brave. Be kind. Loyal. Laugh when things turn bad. You changed my life the way I always wanted to be." Spike showed a tear running down his face. The girls smiled as Twilight comfort him. "Do you know what I'll never forget," she said to him. "Becoming my number one assistant." "And the way he blushes," Fluttershy said nuzzling him. "That's right, let's make him blush one last time for old sakes," Applejack said. "Come on, guys! Really!" Spike said trying to push free. "Let's all take turns kissing him!" Pinkie reflated her hair cheering. "So pucker up, buttercup!" Applejack grabs pulls him in giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Stop it!" Spike said throwing his hood up. "I want a turn after Applejack!" Rarity said pulling Spike's arm. "I'm not finished with him yet, cowgirl!" Applejack jerked him back. "My turn!" Pinkie jumped on Spike kissing him all over. "Pinkie! Stop!" Spike grew redder every second. "Maybe we should kiss him on the lips," Fluttershy said. "Let's don't go too far, Fluttershy," Dash said. "We're going to miss you Spikey-Wikey!" Rarity said nuzzling him with Applejack. "Ain't he the sweetest," Applejack said. The girls teased Spike for one last time. Spike was brightly red. But he missed being teased by them. Wasn't the same without his friends. At the school, a bright light glow inside through the windows. Inside the school, Scott opens the Principal's Office door and head in. "Okay, here we are, father," Scott said. "But I don't see why this is so important." "Because, Scott my boy…" Sombra spoke entering. He stood in the middle of the room clutching his cane both hands. The shadows around him covered like a cloak. Only his green eyes appeared. "…It used to be my office."
