Afternoon
Once Spike was away from the Crusaders, he put his claws behind his head and strolled towards the market as he looked at the sky.
"Nice day. Warm weather, no cloud in sight and a nice cool breeze; perfect for a picnic. Now to get some ingredients so I can make the perfect sandwiches. I might even make my triple-decker cookies." Spike smiled as he walked right into the market area.
"Get your carrots here! Fresh carrots!"
The market was bustling with ponies trying to get their own groceries as Spike walked through it to find his ingredients. Many ponies were shouting out their wares to garner other's attention, while some merely stood back and watched as ponies came to theirs since their stuff sold fast.
"Alright first lets get some apples of course." Spike said as he headed over to the apple stand. He saw that Big Mcintosh was running the stand for today. "Hey there Big Mac." Spike said as he got close.
Big Mac noticed him and gave him a nod. "Evenin' Spike. Here fer some apples Ah'm guessin'?"
"You guessed right. Just half a dozen please." Spike said as he flicked six bits with his claw towards Mac who effortlessly caught them and put them in a box. Mac swiped six apples in a bag and tossed it at him. Spike caught it as he started to walk away. "Have a good one Spike."
"Thanks Big Mac." Spike said as he strolled towards the next stand.
He was about to speak to the mare behind the lettuce stand until someone pulled his attention away.
"Hey! You there! Little dragon!" Spike immediately frowned knowing the voice before he turned and saw a rather annoying blue unicorn walking up to him. "Trixie requires your attention for a moment."
"The name's 'Spike', not 'little dragon'. And what are you even doing here?" Spike said as he glared at her with his arms crossed.
Trixie hesitated at his stare before she continued. "Well, Spike, Trixie requires an audience with Princess Twilight and Trixie-"
"Don't care, busy." Spike said cutting her off and turning towards the stand.
Trixie just stood there shocked at what just happened. Spike merely ignored her as he dropped a few bits on the table and took the amount he needed. He turned around and walked around Trixie before she snapped out of it and walked after him.
"Hey! Don't ignore Trixie! Trixie has to have your help if Trixie-"
Spike stopped and tuned to her with an annoyed frown. "Ugh, can you stop talking in third person? Its annoying. I already know your name; don't need to hear it three times in every sentence." Spike then turned and walked away leaving a stunned and shocked unicorn.
She grew angry at the insult the dragon gave her and rushed up in front of him, making him stop and look up at her with a flat expression. "Why are you acting so rude!?"
His flat expression turned to an angry one. "You used me as a basketball and tried to kick Twilight out of Ponyville."
Trixie flinched visibly as he said those words and frowned and looked down. "Oh, Tri....I apologize."
Spike's expression softened at that. "Apology accepted." he said as he started to walk around her. Trixie merely stood there for a moment before Spike spoke up.
"Are you coming?" Trixie turned and saw him smiling slightly at her. She smiled back but quickly changed her expression and joined him as he continued to the next stall.
"What exactly are you doing?" Trixie asked as Spike paid some bits and grabbed a few oranges.
"Just getting ingredients for a picnic me and the girls are having. I'm sure you can talk to Twilight before then. Just let me finish and we can head back." Spike said as he tossed a bit towards Carrot Top, simultaneously catching a carrot and giving a smile and nod to the mare.
Trixie nodded. "Very well. Tr... I will wait with you until you are finished."
Spike nodded as he continued along, gathering more ingredients. As he was looking at the cucumbers, Trixie spoke up.
"So how has the new princess been since becoming a princess and all?" Trixie said trying to create small talk.
"Ask her yourself when you see her. I'm sure she will tell you now that you two are okay with each other." Spike said as he grabbed two good ones and gave the pony the bits. He then moved towards the next stand. Trixie followed behind.
"T- I, haven't known you that much but you seem different." Trixie said as she caught up to him.
"Nah, just don't care today." Spike said as he grabbed two bananas and tossed his bits behind him, landing in the bit box.
"That was a pretty good shot." Trixie said aloud.
"I know." Spike said simply as he continued along.
All of a sudden someone called out. "Oh my gosh look! It's Trixie! She's back!"
Trixie looked and saw two colts she really weren't fond of. Spike merely ignored the voice and kept walking towards the next stall, however, as he was looking at the pineapples, he couldn't help but hear their conversation.
"Welcome back Trixie!" Snips said loudly.
"Yeah! Welcome back!" Snails said just as loud.
"Are ya here to do another performance?" Snips said with what sounded like excitement.
Spike turned and started towards another stand and Trixie noticed him leaving. She turned to the two colts. "No, Trixie is merely here on business. Now if you would please leave, Trixie is busy." She said before turning and walking over towards Spike as he looked at grapes.
"You did it again." Spike said as she got close.
Trixie frowned. "Force of habit."
Spike would have said more but the two colts from earlier decided that they weren't done.
"Hiya Spike! You're friends with Trixie now?" Snips asked as he popped up next to Trixie, making her jump.
Spike merely shrugged at him before he placed the grapes in his claw, in the bag and moved on. Trixie looked at them.
"Lets just say we're acquaintances. Now if you will-"
"Acquaintances? Whats that?" Snails asked as he scratched his head.
Spike couldn't help but faceclaw at that response. "Sometimes I forget how 'smart' you two really are."
"Uh, thanks?" Snips said, not sure if that was a compliment or not.
Spike shook his head. "Listen Trixie, I'll meet you at the new castle in an hour. I can't handle dumb and dumber over here any longer and it's taking me longer than I should to get everything. See ya in a bit." Spike then turned and left in the direction of Sugarcube Corner after getting all his ingredients from the market, leaving Trixie with Snips and Snails. She looked at them and they beamed at her with awkward smiles.
"Oh great..." Trixie mumbled as she started to walk away, the two colts happily tagging along.
The bell at the door to Sugarcube Corner rang loudly as Spike entered the inedible building.
"Alright, all I need now is vanilla cream from the Cakes and I will have everything." Spike said as he walked towards the counter. He noticed a certain friend was getting a bag from Mr. Cake.
"Here ya go Fluttershy, two carrot cupcakes. I hope you enjoy them."
"Oh, thank you very much Mr. Cake. I'm sure Angel will love these." Fluttershy said with a smile.
"You spoil that bunny too much, you know that Shy?" Spike said as he walked up to her. Fluttershy jumped at the voice but relaxed when she saw it was Spike.
"Oh, hello Spike. And this is just a reward for him being such a great helper."
Spike shrugged. "Can't see him as the helping type."
Fluttershy grew confused. "What do you mean?"
Spike hesitated, and that surprised him, however he still spoke up. "Fluttershy, I don't think you noticed but that bunny is only nice towards you. To everypony else, he's nothing short of a demonic furball that takes pleasure in others' pain."
Fluttershy merely stood there for a moment. She blinked once; then twice before her eyes grew wide as the meaning of his words sunk in. "W-What? That cant be true! How could you even say something like that about him Spike!" Fluttershy said, offended and hurt that he would say something like that.
"Well, now I know how this can be a bad thing..." Spike mumbled before turning to Fluttershy again. "Sorry about that Shy. I guess I should have worded it better. But, its still the truth. Every time you asked me to watch that bunny, I've had nothing but trouble from him. I was starting to think he has it out for me, but I see him do it with basically everyone else too."
Fluttershy was shocked. She knew he was a little grumpy, but she didn't think Angel would ever be too mean towards others. "Are you telling the truth?" Fluttershy asked meekly.
"I wouldn't lie to you Shy. Couldn't if I tried; well not right now anyways." Spike said before turning to leave Fluttershy to her thoughts as he went to get the last item for the day.
"Hello there Spike! Here for a gemcake?" Mr. Cake asked with a smile.
Spike smiled but shook his head. "Nah, just here to buy an ingredient if I can; Vanilla cream. Have any?"
"Sure do! One moment and I'll get some for you." Mr Cake then headed to the back as Spike took a seat and looked around. He saw Fluttershy walking out the door but not first without stealing a glance at him. He gave her a soft smile and a wave, one she returned shyly as she walked out the door, no doubt the revelation still on her mind.
"Looks like I'll probably be having a little fight later. Meh, I'll probably just scare him off with my fire or something. Sometimes its good to be a dragon." Spike said as he laid back in a chair and closed his eyes.
"I'll say!" Spike opened his eyes to see two large cerulean orbs scanning him... literally. "Hiya Spike!"
"Aah!" Spike yelled, flailing his arms as the chair fell back, ending up hitting his head on the ground. "Gah! Pinkie! Do not sneak up on me! I hate when you do that."
Pinkie frowned at that. "Sorry Spike. I thought you knew I was there. I was next to you for a little while."
"Since when?" Spike said as he sat back in his chair.
"Since you ordered for vanilla cream. By the way why are you getting vanilla cream? Are you making something? If you are, then you should let me help! I love baking things!"
Spike shook his head. "No thanks Pinkie. I can handle it. Besides, don't you have some treats to make yourself?"
"For the picnic? Oh I already made those. They are nice and hot and ready to be eaten at the picnic!"
Spike smiled at the thought. "I cant wait. If there is anything I can say about you Pinkie, its that you make the best sweets."
Pinkie smiled as she rubbed the top of Spike's head. "Aww, thanks Spike!"
Spike merely swatted her hoof away. "Don't do that." He turned and saw Mr. Cake coming over with the ingredient.
"Here ya go Spike. Hope this is enough for you." Mr Cake said as he placed it on the counter.
"Thanks Mr. Cake. How much I owe ya?" Spike asked getting his bits ready.
"Free of charge my good dragon. Consider it a thank you for your help when our oven stopped working." Mr Cake said as he slid it towards him.
Spike smiled. "Thanks!" He grabbed the ingredient and put it in his bag. He turned to Pinkie and spoke up. "Well I have to head out now. I have a few more things I have to take care of before our picnic. Ill see you later Pinkie." Spike then turned and headed for the exit.
"Bye Spikey! See you at the picnic!" Pinkie yelled out as he got outside the building and sighed.
"Okay, now I have everything. Time to head home and get everything made." Spike said as he started towards his home, keeping a lookout for a specific azure unicorn.

What about rainbow
Laying down the truth
Why is there such a large gap at the bottom?
5197353 Soon..ish
Oh, dear... Spike is really going blunt force trauma here.... Well, it's okay to be honest, just as long as you use some tact and discretion along with it.... You can make your point without being mean, you know, still pretty good, though.... On that note, Spike and Trixie seem to be getting along pretty well, maybe if Trixie undergoes a little more attitude adjusting, Spike might be able to trade up here, if you know what I mean.... Still, how come Spike couldn't use some of his blunt argument magic to make Snips and Snails actually try to use their heads once in a while, and not act so reckless and thoughtless so much?....
TOO SHORT, AND THE SNARK IS FADING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
ALSO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AFTERNOON?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Still great story!
Well, everything is turning out great for the most part. That talk with Fluttershy might bite him on the tail later but it shouldn't be anything he couldn't handle. Though it will be interesting to see what he says to Rarity.
The don't give a damn spell. Like it. The Don Spike-aloni Has an offer you can't refuse.
5196711
NEVER in my life would i even consider going into either Pinkie's mind, or Discords. I'd know for a fact I'd come out... different.
5197353
The story isn't over yet.
5197401
laying it down with no remorse... unless its Fluttershy.
5197429
heh sorry, I tend to press the enter button alot
5197432
nope just soon.
5197455
Unfortunately, not in this story. Read the first chapter's AN.
5197475
5197647
Well, yeah, ok, the answer for part 3 is fine, but couldn't the spell be wearing down after a few hours or so, so Spike could add more discretion and tact with his honesty as time goes by? So.. yeah, there's that... And I finished reading "Evening/Afternoon," and I meant afterwards... because Trixie got a little better, but could still use some improvement....
5197511
Lets just say quite a few things will happen once the picnic starts.
5197641
Whats it taste like? :
5197662
Well your answers will be answered very shortly.
5197657 YW!
Big Mac doesn't really talk that much except for eeyup and nope. this is a little ooc for him
5197630 Lol read that as "Nope just spoon"
5197800 Ponyville Confidential.
5197851 Sure, he ALWAYS speaks that much like he did there
5197686
To me it kinda tastes like Vanilla cupcakes with icing and chocolate sprinkles...don't know about the others though... and before you ask, no, I'm not biting my computer...
5197692
Domo arigato, Zero-San....
Got to let these ponies know what's, what and how things are! Love the 'Real' Spike
! Hope the spell can be permanent!
P.S. You need to edit this to chapters. Started with, Spike and Twilight, living in the Crystal Castle to them living back in the Library. Could get very confusing.
5197800
Not true. He spoke quite a bit in Applebuck season, which was in the first season. Much more words than he spoke in My story.
Ill admit he is naturally quiet(reason why i made their greeting short and sweet
), however, assuming he wouldn't say anything at all would be untrue in my opinion.
5197818
5197916
... That sounds delicious.
5197867 Applebuck Season.
5197938
Dou itashimashite.
5198259
You just googled that just now, didn't you?
Good story so far, but I honestly think you should try making the story as well as chapters a little longer, probably having more characters that Spike encounters. I find it amusing how this 'new' Spike interacts with other characters.
5198263
Nope I read and watch anime
5198352 Me too, I read manga, too...though my Japanese sucks, I'm getting a little better, thank you Google Translate...
5198276
I would, but this story specifically was supposed to be a short one. I may consider a sequel depending on the turnout, however, this will stay a short piece.
5197968
Well its considered a library/castle so..... yeah.
More.
Same as last chapter, just thought I'd point it out again.
guessin' *
lookin' *
I'll *
Do you mean 'see'?
And I noticed a few other repeated grammar errors here and there.
So, finished wit' chapta too! I'ma likin' this story! Spike is sayin' things that need to be said even if he is bein' a tad mean about it.
And the waiting begins for the next chapter!!
Gosh I just love this. It was hilarious when spike started telling trixie off for talking in 3rd person.
Keep up the good work!!
Funny
5198396 MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A BLUE unicorn??? You mean Colgate/Minuette?
5198860 love that movie
Nice
5197800
Not sure if serious, but that made me laugh.
5197623
But we're not going in, we're dragging them out.
Kicking and screaming lovecraftian expletives.
5199088
maybe that color is better?
