//------------------------------// // Spike's Story // Story: MLP: FML // by Maniac92 //------------------------------// “So let me get this straight,” said Applejack, “Spike and Rarity dropped Sapphire Shores off at the library while they went to look for gems?” “Yeah,” said Twilight. She and the other girls were sitting in the shade of a tree outside the Mayor’s office. “She’s so annoying too. All she wants to talk about is her shitty music.” A throat was cleared. Loudly. “Excuse me,” said Sapphire Shores, who was sitting next to and glaring at Twilight. “I can hear you.” “Yeah, I know,” said Twilight bluntly. She turned back to Applejack and the other girls. “See what I mean about that whole ‘annoying’ thing?” “What do you guys think Spike and Rarity are doing right now?” asked Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash opened her mouth. “Don’t say ‘each other’,” interrupted Fluttershy. “I wasn’t!” whined Rainbow. She looked around at everyone’s skeptical faces. “…Ok, maybe I was. Am I that obvious?” “Yes,” said everyone, including Sapphire, in unison. Twilight shook her head at Rainbow and turned to Fluttershy. “As far as I know, they were just getting more gems. They should be back pretty so-” “TWILIGHT!” screamed a voice. Everybody turned and watched as Spike sprinted towards them, tears running down his face. “Twilight, I need your help!” sobbed Spike. “I was finding gems with Rarity and…she…I…oh God…” he put his head in his hands. Twilight quickly got up and hugged Spike, “It’s ok, Spike. You don’t have to cry. Just tell me what’s wrong.” Spike pushed Twilight away and cleared his throat, a blush appearing on his face. “First off, I’m not crying. I-I just have allergies…that make me sound like I’m crying.” “Makes sense,” nodded Pinkie. “And second,” continued Spike. “Rarity’s…Rarity…Rari-” Spike put his head back in his hands and started sobbing uncontrollably. Fluttershy sighed and got up. She walked over to Spike and slapped him hard across the face. “T-thanks…” sniffed Spike, rubbing his sore face. “These allergies are killing me…” “Of course they are,” said Fluttershy soothingly. “Now, what happened to Rarity?” “She...t-there were these really weird guys…and they kidnapped her!” said Spike. “We had just finished finding all the gems….” Thirty minutes ago: “We’ve finished finding all the gems!” said Rarity excitedly as she gazed at the small mountain of jewels in the wagon. “Oh, Spike! I love gems so much! So hard…so firm…so much girth!” She rubbed her cheek against the gems in the cart, before casting a lustful gaze at Spike. “Gems like these can really excite and satisfy a girl, you know?” “R-really?” asked Spike, trying to keep his mind out of the gutter. “Oh yes…” moaned Rarity, laying back against the gems. “Speaking of satisfying…” she grinned seductively at Spike. “Take me.” Now: “D-did that really happen?” asked Twilight. Spike grumbled and kicked the dirt. “It should’ve…” he growled. Thirty minutes ago (reality): “Hi Spike,” said Rarity in a goofy, high-pitched voice. She was bobbing a blue gem up and down in front of Spike’s face. “I’m Mr. Sapphire, here to reward you for being such a good boy in helping Rarity today! Take me, take me!” Spike frowned at Rarity. “You know, even though I’m a baby dragon, it doesn’t mean I’m an actual baby. I’m only a few years younger than Twilight.” “Take me, take me, TAKE ME!” screeched Rarity, waving the sapphire around. “Alright, alright!” said Spike, grabbing the jewel. “Calm down.” “Very good,” said Rarity. “Now we can-” Her horn glowed, cutting her off. “Another gem?” she asked. She looked around and started walking towards a large tree. “Where is it?” asked Spike, putting the sapphire back into the wagon. “This is bizarre…” said Rarity. “It’s in the tree for some reason.” She looked up and blinked. “And it’s attached to some ugly dog-like creature. How odd.” The ugly dog-like creature dropped down to the ground, glaring at Rarity. “I am a Diamond Dog, thank you very much. The name’s Rover.” “Ah…I see…” said Rarity nervously, backing up a little. “Well...I am Rarity and this is my friend Spike.” Spike waved sheepishly. He blinked as a large shadow came over him. Rover smirked. “How rude of me. Let me introduce my friends, Spot and Fido.” Spike felt a large hand grab him by the back of the neck. He was lifted up into the air and found himself staring face-to-face with a large Diamond Dog, who grinned evilly. “I’m Fido,” said the grey-furred dog. A smaller brown-furred dog walked out from behind Fido and smirked. “And I’m Spot.” “And we,” said Rarity, “are leaving. Please put my friend down and we’ll get out of your fur.” “Yeah…” said Rover with a smirk, “That’s not happening. We need you to come with us. We need you to find some gems.” “And…if I refuse?” asked Rarity politely. “It ain’t a request,” answered Fido. “Hmm...” mused Rarity, thinking it over. “I’m afraid I’m going to have to refuse.” Her horn glowed and a rock was lifted from the ground. Rarity turned and used her magic to shoot the rock at Spot. The brown-furred dog wheezed as the rock hit him in the stomach, knocking him over. “What the-?” began Fido. Spike inhaled and opened his mouth. He exhaled suddenly, causing green flames to shoot forth into Fido’s face. “Fuck!” screamed the large dog, dropping Spike and holding his smoking face. Spike landed on his feet and turned back towards Rarity. “Look out!” he yelled, before getting tackled from behind by Spot. Rarity turned and saw Rover running towards her. She gasped and tried to gather her magic, but Rover was too quick. He flicked Rarity’s horn, causing her horn to stop glowing. Rarity winced in pain, holding her horn. While she was distracted, Rover quickly grabbed her and picked her up. “We’re leaving!” he called to Spot and Fido. Spot let go of Spike and followed after Rover. The two dogs started running towards a large hole in the ground, Rarity struggling in Rover’s arms. “R-Rarity!” said Spike as he tried to get up. A large grey foot swung out and caught Spike in the stomach. Spike wheezed and dropped to the ground. He looked up and saw Fido glaring at him, the fur on his face smoking. “Fido!” called Rover. “We’re done. Come on!” Fido growled and stomped off, leaving a winded Spike curled up on the ground. “W-wait…” mumbled Spike, trying to get up. He watched as the three dogs disappeared into the ground, a captive Rarity in their grasp. Now: “We need to rescue Rarity now!” yelled Spike, shaking Twilight. “You’re right Spike,” said Twilight, pulling away from his grasp. She turned to the others. “Come on, girls! We’re going on a rescue mission!” She turned back towards Spike. “And stop crying, please.” Spike sniffed and wiped his nose on his arm. “It’s allergies, I swear!” “Aw yeah!” said Pinkie. She grabbed Spike and said, “You know what time it is?” “Um…2:30?” guessed Spike. “ADVENTURE TIME!” screamed Pinkie, running off with Spike in her arms. “Wait Pinkie,” called Twilight as she and the others ran after her. “It’s the other way!” Sapphire blinked as she watched everyone leave. She stood up and called after them, “She did get my gems, right?!” She waited for a response. "...Hello?"
