Tropical Octave


T
Source

Spike had been living the good life out of Twilight's basement for some time now, turning it into his personal 'dragon-cave' and not having to worry about a thing in the world. All that changes when he's forced to move into the newly constructed apartment complex on the other side of town. A month later, Spike gets a new neighbor who changes his life. Or, more specifically, his new neighbor's dog Virgil. Whom, by the way, Spike alone sees as an earth pony. How will Spike's life change? Will this creature known only as "Virgil" help Spike turn his life around? Or will he ruin what little left that Spike can call his own?

I won't lie to you guys, I wrote this in the middle of the day, wide awake, not under the influence of any legal/illegal substances, and sober. :pinkiehappy:
This Fic was thought up from my pure, un-adulterated, crazy mind, so there are no excuses for it being either insanely funny or horribly silly. :trollestia:
With that being said, fire away with the comments. My mind is ready. :moustache:
The beginner author, ~Obyvious :trollestia:

Amazing story, I also like Wilfred, I hope you continue it.

998485 It doesn't have to be Lord of the Rings Trilogy long, but maybe a few updates to sort out the issue. The OC, the owner of Virgil, maybe some more expansion? Virgil himself. Does he and Spike ever get more of a "I'm a dog, and I'm the master" scenario going on?

Either way, good work.

998501 Thanks mate, I won't let you...or anypony...down!

the setting sounds so familiar. i swear i heard it be-- oh, Wilfred. that show on FX with Elijah Wood and that Aussie guy in a dog suit.

998556 You would be correct in that realization :twilightsmile:
'Wilfred' is what inspired me to write this and, hopefully, some of the humor from the show rubbed off on me. :twilightblush:
the actual show is :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh: hilarious, so I figured I'd take a crack at my own variation. :trollestia:

wait, is this a oneshot:ajbemused:

998789 Due to, well, interest in the story I've decided to add more to it! Plus, there's a few un-addressed bits that need expanding. Exciting huh?
Sorry if I confused you, but writing it was so much fun, that it's gonna go on for a while. :trollestia:
Hopefully the story will improve as it goes, because Virgil isn't quite done with Spike yet! :scootangel:
The author ~Obyvious :trollestia:

998828yes:rainbowdetermined2: i cant wait to see more of spike and virgil:rainbowkiss:

Pretty good. Can't wait to see more shenanigans with this duo!:rainbowkiss:

"Virgil" Written by your's truely, Obyvious. (lol)
Edited by my good friend ShyYoungBrony. He's quite the gentle-colt for doing this, so praise him for his masterful editing skills.
Also, in case you missed the 'Double-Feature' part, episode two is, well, a double feature. :trollestia:
Don't forget to comment, I can handle the negativity. :rainbowlaugh:
*Unsheathes the sharpest pen you've probably ever seen* :rainbowderp:
Have at it! :facehoof:

It's good stuff but I can't help but notice in the intermission you have flying unicorns

unicorns have the ability to fly, and unicorns have magic

Think you mean Pegasi :rainbowlaugh:

Found a few errors here and there (nothing that really broke me from the story, but that might not be the case for everyone.) But hell, I'll say it, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was funny! :pinkiehappy: I still love the interactions here, especially between Spike and Virgil. So many hilarious moments could stem from this, many already have. The only thing I'd ever really complain about here, and even then I don't mind it, is that the romance between Spike and Shelly seems a little tacked on, like it was a last second thing. Could just be me, though.

I could have sworn this was just a one-shot, but it looks like that was just the introductory chapter. Awesome! I hope to see more from this. :pinkiesmile:

1010986 Lol, when unicrons fly, that'll be the day! :rainbowlaugh:
Thanks for the spot mate!

Coolest story I've read today. I needed a good laugh.

I know the reference is shaky at best, but I couldn't possibly let the words 'pet cemetery' go by without something.

SOMETIMES, DEAD IS BETTER!

Also, The Ramones, for some reason.

Intermission over, time to get back in the game :twistnerd:

Fun times, it seems.~

So, Virgil is based on that show you got the theme from, correct? Is it good?

1616635 Oh heck yes, it's an amazing story about the philosophical questions that haunt us day to day. also, comedy!
There's an American & an Australian version, but this one's based off of the american story line. I highly recommend checking it out :raritystarry:

1616655

Heh, sounds like an idea. I certainly will!:pinkiehappy:

"Maybe, Maybe... I'm still going to eat ya."
