A sticky situation, to say the less

A sticky situation, to say the less

The team of chaos went to their clubhouse/headquarters after school, ready to start planning a great weekend of playing; or well working in another of their disasters. Probably the second one since Applejack went to receive them seeming a little worried but mostly annoyed.

“Girls, Rumble, you better hurry to speak with Spike, A’ heard him the entire morning banging the walls… and now he doesn’t stop laughing as a maniac. A’ figure ya’ll have a great weekend among ya”

The foals exchanged looks of expectation right after they ran to their headquarters; in the meantime Applejack shrugged and went to warn their friends about a probably troublesome weekend.
But the foals were already wondering what Spike was planning.

“But I don’t get it, aren’t the clubhouse soundproof in case the Bearers or the Secret Service try to spy on us?” Asked Rumble.

“Now that you mention it… you’re right! What’s going on?”

They arrived to their headquarters where Spike was already waiting for them surrounded by paper sheets all over the place full of annotations and sketches. He had enormous bags under his eyes and seemed exhausted but totally excited; and somehow he looked as threatening as Discord.
Still Sweetie Belle wasn’t pleased.

“Spike, you look like you haven’t slept in the whole night, what’s going on with you?”

“And how did Applejack hear ya?” Asked Apple Bloom.

“Oh that, I used a recording, you know, to scare her before we act”

“And what’s the big plan, dude?” Smirked Rumble. “You look scarier than usual, and Nightmare Night isn’t until two months”

“I know but I can hardly wait” sighed Spike.

Rumble’s smile got wider and made a high-hoof/high-claw with Spike.

“That’s the spirit! You know I prepare my costume three months in anticipation? I just love Nightmare Night”

“For real? And what are you going to be this year?” Chuckled Spike.

“It’s a surpriiiiiiise”

“Fine, what you were last year?” Asked Scootaloo.

“Nightmare Moon herself, of course! It was Nightmare Night so it seemed fair to impersonate the guest of honor herself”

The girls raised an eyebrow.

“You mean a male version of Nightmare, right?”

“No way I disrespect the Princess of the Night gender-bendering her for my costume, nope, I was her totally and my costume was so well done that nopony suspected there was a colt under all that make-up!”

Scoots face-hoofed.

“Are you the same idiot whose sexist discussion ended up in us making the Rule 63 prank?!”

“Costumes are not about sexism Scoots” said Rumble, “it’s about honor the character you idolize in all its expression being from the real life, a manga or a comic. And when you’re an artist of cosplay as me, you won’t insult your character adapting him or her to you; no, you are the one who must adapt”

The agents of chaos had a sweat-drop on their temples, but at the end they shrugged and better wished good luck to Rumble, especially Spike who was a comic geek as Rumble.
But Spike quickly made appear his floating throne calling to order.

“Anyway, speaking of the Nightmare Night, I’ve planned something really big for us. I plan to make it a night that Equestria never forget, especially because that night means something really important to me, for us”

“What?” Asked Babs.

Spike smiled to them.

“Don’t you remember? Any of you? Come on guys!”

Sweetie was the one who guessed.

“Of course! It’s the anniversary of our first victory!”

“The first time we worked together as the team of chaos!” Exclaimed Apple Bloom.

“And the night we got our Cutie Marks!” Finished Scoots.

The original agents of chaos shrieked in excitement and joined Spike in a group-hug. Rumble and Babs looked to each other but at the end joined them as well.

“So what’s the plan?” Asked Babs once they separated. “This must be something really big since it’s our anniversary”

Spike nodded.

“That’s why I’ve been awake the whole night, I must make sure everypony knows this nightmare night isn’t only about Princess Luna, but their beloved God of Disharmony and Chaos”

“But remember we cannot repeat the costume-joke, we have a reputation to keep and we won’t if we start repeating pranks”

Spike nodded slowly and tiringly.
He yawned a little.

“Precisely that’s what kept me awake the whole night. Seriously, all that time leaving with Twilight affected me somehow, I couldn’t rest until I was completely sure that we have something big and original”

“But enough suspense! What’s the big idea?”

The boy smiled calmly.

“The big plan not only will make our job as agents of chaos more legendary that already is, but it will also make that Princess Luna had at her charge the biggest holiday in Equestrian history. It’ll be helpful since the other Princesses will get pissed off so is good to have at least one Princess on our side”

“Who cares? Aren’t we the bad guys?”

Spike shrugged and made appear a parchment to their agents.

“Okay, here is the plan, as you can see I was especially careful with the details and prevented any variable to make sure anything goes wrong. And after this I’ll arrange a couple of session with the psychiatrist, I don’t want to end up like Twilight”

The kids chuckled while examining the plan, it was a good plan; simple but the chaos potential was incredible. The prank was going to be fun, not very original but still everypony will have some fun with it.
Once they finished reading it, the agents looked at Spike who gave them a small smirk.

“Tomorrow I’ll need you to help me with step one, in the meantime I’ll create something small to keep the others busy the whole morning. Any questions?”

No questions, so they retired to prepare for their tasks and Spike to have a nice nap.
At the next day Twilight went downstairs calmly to have breakfast, when she saw the big pony-sized teddy bear with a small card directed to her: To the Princess of Friendship from your secret admirer. Twilight rolled her eyes sighing when Spike came downstairs right behind her.

“Morning Twi! Oh, look! Somepony bought you a present, what a detail”

“Nice try Spike. Even if I do appreciate things like this as much as anypony… I can fell the power of chaos inside it. Do you really thought I was going to fell for this?”

Spike shrugged.

“I suppose I’m getting a little lazy. Anyway, if I were you I’ll put it aside with magic, you don’t want touch this thing directly”

Said that he made appear his gems-cereal and began with the most important meal of the day. Twilight looked at him suspiciously, what to do? Listening to his warning or do the opposite? There was obviously a trap, but where?

Spike looked at her waiting, sooner or later Twilight had to decide, but what was it going to be? But the resolution came by itself in the form of Rainbow Dash who suddenly entered with big bags marked under her eyes and her mane completely messy.

“What’s up? I finally finished ‘Daring Do and the Temple of the Living Mummy’. I came to return it and maybe go to sleep, this was so awesome that kept me awake the whole night!”

Twilight smiled indulgently, when she noticed she unconsciously touched Spike’s present with both of her forelegs, still she didn’t mattered and smiled to Rainbow.

“I’m glad you liked it, wanna have breakfast with us? Before you go to sleep, I mean”

“Twi you’re great!” said Rainbow happily taking a seat.

Twilight was about to go for a plate to the kitchen when she noticed she couldn’t move her hooves, those were somehow glued to the teddy bear.

“What?”

She tried to flap her wings, pulled it with her magic but nothing, she was stuck. Twilight glared at the Lord of Chaos who innocently shrugged.

“I warned you”

Twilight grumped and kept fighting with the teddy bear but there was nothing she could do.

“Rainbow, help me with this!”

Rainbow had to stop laughing and then she approached to her friend taking Twilight by the waist and tried to pull her to one side while Twilight pulled the teddy bear to the other using her magic, again nothing.
In the meantime Spike was holding his laughs to not to choke with his orange juice while she looked at the two mares fighting with a teddy bear.

“Great, this was a good one” sighed Rainbow. “Now what?”

“I’ll think in something, but first, do you mind to release me?”

Rainbow chuckled and tried to put her forelegs away from Twilight but she also realized… she was also glued to Twilight.

“What? Damn, Spike!” She shouted.

Spike couldn’t hold it any longer and began to crack out in the floor.

“Ahahahahaha! You know? I never thought it would be this easy, hahahahahaha! Great idea, right?”

“This isn’t funny Spike!” Protested Twilight. “This position isn’t comfortable and it looks like we’re in an adult situation!”

Rainbow blushed and tried to get off Twilight harder than before, giving the image of the two mores an even more adult-tone. Luckily Spike still didn’t get it and simply smiled to the mares.

“Sorry girls, but you know, this is my work. Now if you excuse me…”

He snapped his claws and suddenly the two Bearers appeared in the middle of the main street at the astonished look of everypony.

“SPIIIIIIIIKE!”

Lots of pony began to talk among themselves much for the two mares’ annoyance.

“Damn, can you help us or not?!” Shouted Rainbow.

The closest pony was Daisy, who went to pull Rainbow away from Twilight but realized she got glued to Rainbow as well.

“Oh no, I’m stuck! The horror, the horror! The humiliation…”

Her sister Roseluck arrived quickly to help her sister and of course she got stuck too. At this point the situation seemed more like a conga line stead of a XXX scene.
Speaking of conga lines, this little pandemonium called Pinkie Pie’s attention who looked from Sugar Cube Corned to her friends.

“Ey, are you doing a street conga line and don’t invite me? That’s not fair!”

“No PINKIE, DON’T!” Shouted Rainbow and Twilight but obviously it was too late.

“Yupi, conga, conga, conga!”

They all sighed.

“Pinkie: this is not ‘conga’ it’s one of Spike’s pranks”

“Oh, so that’s what this is. But still is fun, fun, fun!”

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

“At least somepony is enjoying this. And the worst part is we couldn’t even eat”

Apple Bloom, who was walking nearby, stopped at Rainbow’s comment and offered them a few apples she had in her saddlebag.
And all the glued ponies stared how the little girl touched them without she got stuck as well.

“Of course you won’t be affected by this” sighed Twlight.

The little filly smiled to her.

“Come on Twilight, is not that bad. It’s pretty funny if you ask me. So why don’t ya’ enjoy an apple, or if you’re in the mood to try something new A’ can give ya’ one of ma’ apples of chaos”

Only Pinkie accepted the offer, interestingly enough it was a butter-flavored apple but letting that aside; at this point the other ponies of Ponyville were used to this kind of scenes courtesy of Spike so they slowly returned to their routines. Between them Rarity, who was still unaware of the little disaster; and she was opening her boutique as always, humming a happy tone. She had a feeling that tonight was going to be a good, good night; she had a date with a certain super spy.

Spike entered happily.

“Hi Rarity!”

“Oh, hello Spike” smiled the white unicorn. “Are you here for Sweetie Belle?”

“No, actually I came to see you”

Rarity blinked surprised but quickly nodded with a smile.

“What can I do for you then? Advices to be a best drakefriend for Sweetie? Perfectly, perfectly. First of all you must know…”

Spike raised a claw.

“No, I’m good for now, but thank you for the offer”

“There’s something I must do to thank you for last time” said Rarity dreamily. “Thanks to your little prank I found my especial somepony. Who would say that my fantasy from many years would actually come true? Even if at the beginning I got the wrong idea about him”

They both giggled friendlily, apparently everything that happened between them was long forgiven.

“Oh sorry, what brings you here Spikey-Wikey?”

“Oh, right! I need to by some fabric. Do you have something compatible with magic?”

Rarity raised an eyebrow.

“What are you up to? Seriously”

Spike made appear a giant diamond like the one Discord tricked Rarity the first time she faced him. It didn’t work even if it was a real diamond.

“Nice try, what are you up to Spike?”

“We’ll pay you more if you don’t make any questions”

Rarity sighed.

“Fine, but this is the last time and only to thank you for my new relationship with Blue”

“Thank you Rarity!”

Rarity nodded but still she stared at the diamond.

“But Spike, I work better with smaller and more variated jewels. Oh, and add a couple of the anti-joke golden tickets. For the scandal I hear from outside I have a little suspicion that I’ll need it if I don’t want to ruin my date with Blue Blood”

Spike obeyed and soon Rarity was completely satisfied with a box full of gems and the two tickets that made sure she’ll spend this day without an incident.
And for Spike he went out of the boutique with a huge amount of an especial fabric created by Rarity; that he sent to Babs in ManeHattan so she could take care of the next step of their master anniversary plan.

The black filly entered to Suri Polomare’s store where the pink mare looked at the agent of chaos and gave her a pleased smile.

“So here it is, thank you for including me into this. This will be a great step on my career, help the God of Chaos himself!”

“Your welcome” said Night. “And Spike is happy to work with you; but he also warns you not try to steal some fabric to yourself since he protected it with a powerful prank. Just attach to the instructions we gave you in the letter”

“I know, I know” said Suri rolling her eyes. “He still appreciates Rarity and won’t allow me to steal anything from her. However this is still a great opportunity”

“Again all the details are on the letter we gave you. If you have any question feel free to write to Spike”

Suri nodded and began to work, besides all the publicity she’ll have for making this things, Spike promised a huge payment. Yeah, she better put all her effort in this project.


Back to Ponyville, Sweetie Belle observed that the line of glued pony had grown but not enough for the team of chaos’ standards.

“I guess it’s my turn to shine” she smiled.

At this point Twilight managed to coordinate the entire group and move effitiently and they were on their way to the Palace for a Harmony Grenade to fix this.
But the three trapped Bearers looked at Sweetie changing to Black humming a tune before sing it.

“Oh, no, no, NO!” Shouted Twilight, it was obvious what Black was after.

Sadly she began to sing and everypony around began to move hypnotically to the group of glued ponies. They touched it enlarging even more the line and making twice as difficult to move in this conditions.

“Damn it, what we did to deserve this?” Complained Rainbow Dash.

A cloud positioned above the line. Everypony looked up to the blue bubblegum clouds and the small black filly on top.

“Don’t you think about it Dark!” Warned Rainbow.

The little girl smiled innocently.

“But big sis, I was just about to give you some orange juice for our breakfast!!”

“No, NO!”

Too late, Dark jumped on the cloud beginning the orange juice rain all over the ponies.

“Great, it’ll take forever to take this thing off my fur” complained Twilight.

“I like it” giggled Pinkie Pie. “It’s almost like their first joke!”

“Simpler but much more problematic” sighed Twilight.

Spike then appeared before them in his floating throne with a smirk.

“I know, I know, but you see Twi: we’re about to celebrate our anniversary as gods of chaos and need to practice. Besides lastly we haven’t fight you directly, right?”

“Last time we fought was with Princess Celestia” remembered Black.

No time to discuss since the little animals began to approach attracted by the smell of the juice and of course they got stuck as well.

“No Angel, don’t touch them!” Said Fluttershy flying to her pet bunny glued to the mass of ponies.

“No Fluttershy, wait!”

Too late.

“Boss damn it” complained Rainbow.

“Spike this is not funny!” Said Twilight.

“Depends on who you ask” said Spike pointing to Feather Weight and several other foals laughing and taking several pictures.

The ponies on the line grumped annoyed, great, this was just what they needed!
But at least somepony was having fun, Pinkie Pie, who also made faces while smiling to the camera.


Up in Cloudsdale, Mist was shacking hooves with Lighting Dust.

“Just that? Don’t you want me to do anything else”

“Of course, just go and distribute this things on Nightmare Night and it’s all done. After all you’re a Shadow Bolt now and you’re pretty famous. Everypony will buy if you promote it. And as a plus you’ll be facing Rainbow Dash again”

“Yeah, since I became a Shadow Bolt I do it on the daily basis, but the payment sounds pretty neat”

“I’m glad you’re in!”

“And miss the chance to work with the team of chaos? You’re the new big thing!”

“The team is glad to count on you!”


Then Mist returned to Ponyville where everything was in chaos, as Spike requested. Everypony on the conga line were pulling each one to different sides ignoring Twilight’s frenetic instructions to make everypony work together but they were too many ponies. At least they were having breakfast served by Dark and Shadow.

“Coffee! Who wants coffee?”

“Ey, it’s cold!”

“Yeah, why if you spill it on somepony? Giving your position it’s a very strong possibility”

“Ey, I need a drink, can I have some whisky?”

“Not until I turn 18” said Dark squishing a cloud to produce carrot juice. “This one is for who?”

“Angel is thirsty”

They continued delivering brakfast but Cheerilee wasn’t on the mood.

“Seriously, who do you think you’re fooling with this?”

“What you mean?” Asked Black innocently.

“This is obviously a distraction. What’s the real plan?”

“Nothing to worry about now miss Cheerilee”

“In the meantime, are you really sure you don’t want to eat something?”

“Fine, fix me a glass of orange juice!”

They two agents keep feeding the ponies when Twilight finally realized there was a strong trace of pure chaos floating on the air, but she was too busy trying to direct the conga line that she ignored it.

“He’s up to something big” mumbled the alicorn.

“Are you sure?”

On the chaos headquarters, Spike laughed hysterically looking at his new creation. Sweetie Belle just chuckled.

“Okay, you made it! You took one of your cruelest creations and made it worse. Now what?”

“Now we test it, but you four already told me you don’t want to ruin your taste for candy and Rumble is busy recruiting our other helpers. But we always have our favorite Princess to try it, we cannot harm her anymore”

“Not really harm her, we even helped. Have you noticed how slim she got?”

Spike scratched his head.

“We can always send her something to apologize”

“So, tell me Spike, how are we gonna prank Princess Luna or Princess Cadence? Princess Celestia is being tortured with the candy of all candies, Twilight is the one cleaning our disasters, what about them? Fair is fair, we must torture all Royalty by equal”

“That’s a good question, well, I don’t know what to do with Princess Luna but according with Shining, Princess Cadence loves to sleep”

“Sleep?”

“Yeah, he always says that if it was for her, she’ll spend the entire day in bed”


Far, really far away, on the Crystal Empire:

“At-chiss! Somepony must be talking about me” said Shining who was lying on the bed. “Honey, don’t you prefer to go for a walk or something?”

“Oh no we don’t. You said that is my turn to choose the weekend’s activity, and I say we’ll stay here. Do you finished resting? Very well, round twelve!”

Shining gave a sip of revitalizing potion he purchased especially for the occasion, this was going to be a looooong weekend.


Moving to Canterlot, Princess Celestia opened very excited a new box of candy of all candies Spike just mailed him.

“Another of those?” Asked Luna.

“Yeah, Spike is really kind and mails me one every week so I can study it and find the cure! Oh, and this one says it’s a special bunch”

Luna had a sweat drop on her temple.

“Tia, be careful”

“I will, but we know it’s just Spike and most of his pranks are harmless. Besides this candy looks sweeter than usual”

“Tia…”

When Celstia took the first candy immediately noticed something has changed, this time the thing was covered in some powdered sugar. Luna noticed too and looked worriedly to Celestia but her sister really trusted the dragon. Celestia took the first bite.
The Princess’ pupils shrank and her entire body shook in excitement.

“Tia?” Asked Luna carefully.

“DELICIOUS! IS EVEN SWEETER THAN BEFORE!”

And she devoured the entire box of hyper-sugary goodies.

“Luna look at the time! I left lots of paperwork to do! I’ll be right back!”

And she ran to her desk at great speed.

“THIS IS SO GREAT! I’LL NEVER GO TO SLEEP!!”

Luna sighed.

“I warned her”

In Ponyville, after endless discussions finally Twilight managed to organize the angry mass of glued ponies and enter to the Palace looking for a Harmony Grenade that helped them to finally get separated.


At the end of the day five of the Mane 6 were lying on Twilight’s couches sighing for another of Spike’s most annoying pranks. The main factor was that Spike went back to the basic so this one was even more irritating than his usual plans. The only one who had a good day was Rarity, who arrived to the Palace with a huge smile on her face, she spent a delightful morning with the most secret agent of Celestia’s most secret Service and nothing could ruin her great mood.

“Ey girls, how was your day?”

“Don’t ask!” Said Twilight. “Spike can be really a pain in the flank if he wants to”

Fluttershy smiled softly.

“At least they tried to be nice giving us something to eat and… who am I kidding?! I WANT TO PUT MY HOOVES ON THOSE TWO SO BADLY!”

“So Spike succeeded in annoying you again, aren’t you overreacting?”

“You’re happy only because you somehow skipped this disaster” grumped Rainbow Dash. “Damn it, damn it, damn it! In times like this I would love to teach those kids a lesson, starting by Scootaloo!!”

“And Apple Bloom” said Applejack even if she got stuck at the very end. “Sorry, but today they were…”

They all nodded, even if it was a simple joke, Spike did a great job by driving them crazy.
And suddenly a small chuckle was heard.

“Just what we needed, Discord!” Complained Twilight.

The draconequs materialized on the living room caring big bags full of souvenirs.

“Girls! It’s been a while! How you’re doing? Me? Great! I’ve been having the time of my life traveling through worlds!”

“Get out of here Discord” said Applejack uninterested.

The being shrugged and offered Applejack a gift.

“Come on Applejack, I’m up to no harm. I’m just a retired elder visiting his old colleges after a long time. What? Is this a bad time?”

“Sorry Discord, is just that Spike got us in bad mood and his prank was especially annoying” explained Twilight.

Rainbow Dash nodded.

“Yeah, sorry pal but we don’t feel like remember the old times”

Discord laughed delighted.

“You know? This brings me memories of all the times I ended up irritating Celestia and Luna back in my youthful days, but once in a while they returned me the favor. Haven’t you consider that?”

They all looked at Discord who smiled mischievously.

“You know? I’m a retired elder with nothing but time to kill, and what’s better to kill time than helping your old friends? If you want to have a little payback, you can count on me”
