Set during... I dunno, the hiatus between S5 and S6, this story is all about Spike going missing and a desperate Twilight trying to find him. Starlight turns up for some reason. Not as exciting as it sounds, but hopefully funnier.

This story was originally written for the Thousand Words Contest II but because I can't edit for toffee, it doesn't qualify. Oh well, next time there's a less than 1331 words competition I'll sure to romp home!! :pinkiehappy:

Well, that was something...?

I gotta be honest, from the cover art you used I came into this expecting to see Twilight go on a hunt across Ponyville, looking for clues about what happened to Spike, so I was a bit caught off guard when she found him so quickly.

Of course, that's not to say I didn't enjoy it. I loved the way you wrote Spike and the other characters, and I also liked the commentary you had. All in all, I think this was an all-around solid little fic, even if it wasn't what I was expecting.

I try to subvert expectations wherever I can. Like for instance, my next story will be an AU where Discord, Derpy and Diamond Tiara (best pony) all team up to take over Equestria together... :rainbowderp:

Spoiler alert... There's a big custard pie fight at the end, until Miss Cheerilee takes over and every pony gets extra detention. Boo!! :: :fluttershbad:

(But seriously, thanks for reading and being a part of all the inspired craziness here!) :trollestia:

Why does this story need two title that both seem to say the same thing?

11604795
That’s part of the gag. It suits the tone of the story I’m going for, I hope… :moustache:

I'm expecting a spinoff titled Spike's Time Machine.

Nah, a big franchise about some dude going through the fabric of time and space in some kind of weird device could never work. Who's crazy enough to come up that idea? :rainbowwild:

I don't know what I was expecting... but it wasn't that.

A bit too random for my tastes.

Good luck.

11604871
Well, random is in the tags, so... :scootangel:

:moustache: See, I won the bet
:twilightoops: What bet?
:ajsmug: That you'd clean up everything
:pinkiehappy: and save the kingdom
:yay: and get Rarity to go out with him
:trixieshiftright: and the Greatly Indebt and Powerfully Poor Trixie could win the castle pool
:duck: ta ta my darling
:rainbowlaugh: Theatre tickets aren't cheep
:facehoof: You raided the treasury didn't you

11604749
That too.
11604756
I wanna read that story now. Just for how stupid the idea sounds if nothing else.
11604796
It does.
11604872
Random tag is best tag on the site honestly.

:facehoof:.

never have I seen a story written like this before, and i'm not sure if that's a compliment

11604879
Thanks for the unscheduled epilogue. :moustache:

11605106
Believe me, I take it as such. :raritystarry:

You. I like you. Stay tuned for more unhinged craziness if that floats your boat. :coolphoto:

She got neither one nor the other, for the simple reason that Spike’s seat was emptier than Trixie’s bank account (sorry, Trix. I love to rub it in).

Oh please--you're not sorry at all, are you? :trollestia:

11605656
How can you say that?! You don’t know me at all!! :rainbowwild:

Wait spike wasn’t a community hallucination. Dang I lost five bits on that bet

Nah, a big franchise about some dude going through the fabric of time and space in some kind of weird device could never work. Who's crazy enough to come up that idea?

Who would even read that drivel? Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff makes my head spin. :derpyderp1::trollestia:

On a completely unrelated note, I just reread this story using David Tennant's voice as the narrator. It was officially 20% cooler. :rainbowdetermined2:
