Equestria Heroes: The 3Ds (starring: Spike, Discord, and Big Mac)

by Phantom-Dragon

A New Pen Pal

[Alone again naturally ]

Spike woke up, stretching his arms out, before he got out of bed, exited his room for Twilight's.

"Morning Twilight!" Spike greeted. "Rise and sh-" Spike stopped, as he looked at the empty bed. Then he remembered, "Oh yeah. Twilight's missing, along with the girls, and Starlight. Which means I've got the whole castle.....to myself."

Chaosville

Even though Discord's powers were cut in half, he was still able to have enough strength to teleport back to his house, in Chaosville.

An alarm clock sounded a cow's moo, throughout his home, until Discord smashed it, with a mallet. The tired draconequus reached over to a drawer, and dons on the hairy caterpillars over his eyes, along with his sharp tooth, goat horn, deer antler, and goatee. Once the tasks were done, Discord got up, did some stretches, and bent his whole body from side-to-side, before he pouts miserably.

"Now, what to do," Discord asked himself, as he looked at his calendar, which was upside down, and the numbers were out of order. "Oh yes! Pop in on Fluttershy and...." Discord stopped himself as he remembered. "Oh wait. That's right, I can't do that, since Fluttershy is........gone." It wasn't long, before a loud wail echoed throughout Chaosville, as Discord cried, "WHERE IS MY FLUTTERSHY?!!!!!!!"

Sweet Apple Acres

Big Mac was bucking some trees, knocking the apples off of the branch and into the baskets placed below, when Spike came by.

"Hey Big Mac," Spike greeted.

"Howdy Spike," Big Mac replied.

"Mind if could, I don't know, pick apples with you?" the despondent dragon asked.

".....Uh.....nope," Big Mac replied.

With that, Spike gloomily went over to a nearby apple tree, and climbed into it, as he harvested the apples in his claws, before he carefully climbed back down.

Wanting to break the awkward silence, Big Mac was the first to break the ice, "Sure is quiet without the girls, isn't it?" the stallion asked.

"Eeyup," Spike replied.

"No Twilight, must be very.....quiet then."

"More than you think," Spike replied. "I'm her number one assistant. She's my first friend. No, more than my friend, she's like my mother, and my sister, all in one pony. She's my reason to keep going. My reason to keep working to do her, and every pony, proud. To lose her, it's.....it's....I feel kinda aimless without Twilight."

"I know what you mean, little fella," Big Mac replied. "It's the same with all of us on Sweet Apple Acres with Applejack gone," Big Mac let out a despondent sigh, as he added. "It's just like that time when AJ felt like a failure all over again. Granny Smith's even more depressed, and Apple Bloom isn't her usual spunkiness, as of late."

"But hopefully, we'll find them!" Spike said, as he tries to brighten the mood. "Hopefully, very soon."

"Eeyup."

Castle of Friendship

After some hours of helping Big Mac pick the apples, Spike finally returned to the castle.

"Well," Spike began. "Twilight or no Twilight. It's no reason to not keep this place in good shape."

With that, Spike took out a radio, and inserted a CD into the player, and a song was played.

Spike then begins doing the chores. He began with sweeping the floor, before he went to do some mopping, and waxing the floor. While doing this, Spike happened to invent a much quicker way of doing this.

Tying some scrubs to his feet, Spike started to skate around the floors, leaving a trail of waxes behind, while using his mop as his aid of steering. Later, he was in the library, dusting the shelves, top to bottom, and left to right.

'Twilight would blow up the castle if I ever forgot to clean out the library,' Spike said in his head.

Later, Spike checked the clock to see that it was 7:15 AM. With that, Spike took out some Power Ponies comics and reads them for enjoyments. Later, he went out to the farmers' markets to buy some foods. Spike also stopped by at Maud Pie's place, adjacent to Ponyville, where he and the earth pony explored more of her caverns while digging some gems, which he later dropped by at Carasoul Boutique, while taking a few for himself, to snack on of course.

Spike was passing through Ponyville, on his way back to the castle, when he noticed, Discord was at a restaurant, having tea, with himself.

"And then I said, that's no toilet plunger! That's Prince Blueblood!" Discord said.

"Hardy har har," the other Discord said unamused.

"No wonder Flutters-" Discord was quickly silenced by his other self, who covered his mouth.

"Don't say her name!" Too late, another Discord popped his head out of a trash can and entered a crying fit.

'Discord sure seem to take things really hard,' Spike said in his thoughts. 'Can't blame him though.

Castle of Friendship

Spike sat on the couch, and heaved a heavy sigh. Just then, a certain journal, on a nearby desk, was flashing red, and vibrating as it did so. This caught Spike's attention, as immediately went over, and cracked the journal open, and finds a message that reads:

'Dear Twilight,

I'm sorry it's been awhile since I last wrote to you. The girls and I have been using our powers, but I've started to feel we are becoming too dependent on them. Just wondering, should we limit our powers to a minimum, or should we just stop it all completely? And would that put a strain to our friendship?

Your friend,

Sunset Shimmer'

Spike took a quill, dipping it in some inks, as he wrote back in response.

'Dear Sunset,

I regret to inform you that Twilight's not here. She's gone.

Signed,

Spike'

After a few minutes passed, another reply was written.

'Did something bad happened? Is Twilight alright?' Spike dipped his quill in another pot of ink, as he wrote everything that had transpired, in response, 'Oh dear,' Sunset replied. 'I hope you'll be alright.'

"You and me both Sunny," Spike muttered.

'Is there anything I can do to help?' Sunset wrote.

'No, thank you, Sunset,' Spike replied. 'Just stay where you are! We don't want to lose you, after we've lost Twilight and the others. And whoever or whatever's kidnapping ponies, we don't need to let it know there are more in your world.'

'Okay,' Sunset replied. 'If it's for the best,' After a few minutes have passed, Sunset wrote another message, 'Now about my problem.'

Spike hesitated, for the moment. Nobody's ever asked him before on resolving a friendship problem. And even if he were to be the one to do so, it usually doesn't go well. Especially since the time he abused Twilight's title to get everything he wanted.

'Spike? Are you there?'

Nevertheless, Sunset is counting on him. And if she needs his help, he has to do it. Especially since Twilight is no longer there to do her work as Princess of Friendship.

After some times have passed, Spike wrote his last piece of advice of the day, and finished it with a triumphant smile.

'Thank you so much, Spike,' Sunset replied. 'I'm really glad you could help me out. And Twilight is really lucky to have you for her Number One Assistant,' Spike couldn't help but blush modestly, 'Sayonara.'

'Um, sayonara,' Spike wrote.
