> The Mane 6 Aren't Real > by trahzo > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Ch.1: He Returns & Meets His Family All Over Again > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We start off with Spike & his PFF's eating at a picnic together. Also, it's Spring and there was not a cloud in the sky, not even the kind of cloud made by factories. "Girls, I'm so happy to have you all in my life!" "Yep, especially even though we're all fake!" Pinkie told him. "Wait, what do you mean fake?" Spike asked her "Oh, you've been in a comatose state eversince that incident on your 16th B-day!" Twilight explained to him. "Yeah, and your finally going to wake-up." Said Fluttershy. "Sorry darling, but this is where we say farewell!" Said Rarity. "Eeyup, later!" Said Applejack. "Later Squirt!" Said Rainbow Dash. "Bye!" Said Fluttershy Then everything started going white. "Wait, I don't want to leave you girls!" "Goodbye Spike, enjoy your life!" Said Twilight The Mane 6 started getting further and further away from him. "I've always loved you even though I'm a figment of your imagination!" Said Rarity. "Remember, to always smile!" Pinkie told him. "WAAAAAAAAAAAIT!!!" Then he woke up! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Spike shrieked. He awoke in a hospital bed. He wore a green hospital gown. "If Rarity were here, she'd say these matched the curtains heh, heh." An I.V. was attached to his wrist, on his nightstand was a card that said get well soon. Signed Mom, Dad, Twin Sis and Big Sis "I wonder who cares about me in this world? Atleast I have a family." Then Nurse Red Heart walked in, to change the sheets. *Gasp!* "Prince Kembroath Gilspotten Heathspike, you're awake!" "Prince what?" "Doctor! Doctor!" "Yes, what is it?" "Dr.Whooves, get someone to alert the royal family. The Prince is awake at last!" "I'll stay here! You go tell the royal guard!" "Right away Doctor!" "(Nurse Red Heart & Dr.Whooves are real. I wonder who else is, and what royal family am I part of? How could I ever forget being a prince?)" He thought. Later... "Spike?" " 'Sup? " "Your family is here to pick you up, I'll let them all in." So they all entered. "Oh Spike, thank goodness you're back! Mommy was so worried!" Said Princess Celestia, while hugging him from the left of the bed. "So was I!" Said the girl who looked like Spike and hugging him from the right of the bed. "Your twin sister Barb missed you dude." "(Oh, so this is my twin, HOLD THE FLYING FUCK! Princess Celestia is my mom! How could I forget that!?)" "Umm, we were fairly worried to." Said Princess Luna. "Yeah, so would you give me some space so Big sis can hug him too." Said Screwball. "(Wait,Screwball is Discord's daughter, and she just called herself Big sis, that could only mean one thing!)" "Oh yeah, well you're a bigger one! Call you later stranger! Ah my son Spike, Daddy Discord sure missed you because now you get to go to the girly places these 4 usually drag you off to again! But seriously, I'm glad you're all better champ!" "(Discord is my dad!?)" "So Spike is there anything you'd like to say before we all go back to the castle?" "Just 1 thing." Then he took a deep breath. "HOW IN EQUESTRIA COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT YOU WERE ALL MY FAMILY!!!?"His shriek could be heard from out side the hospital and a stallion was making a huge decision. "That's right, how could I forget that family is more important!? Sorry my so called friends, but I'm sticking with my clan, and will marry the mare they want me to marry!" "Umm, can we get back to Spike's psychotic freak out?" "Pinkie, you're suppose to not exist in this story, go back to Dream Equestria!" "Sorry Mr. Narrator!" So yeah Spike was having psychotic freak out! "Wait, you forgot about us while in comatose?" Discord asked. "Yeah, Mom, you were the single monarch, that is until Aunt Luna came back after my friends defeated Nightmare Moon making her co-ruler. Dad, you were the spirit of chaos, causing havoc with Screwball by your side, but then my friends defeated you, then reformed you. Barb, you weren't in my dreams for some reason." "Your friends?" Asked Celestia. "Yeah, but I imagined all 6 of them, they weren't real after all." "What were their names?" asked Luna. "1st of all there's my Best friend, slash, big sis, slash, mother figure Princess Twilight Sparkle, who super smart & sees the magic of friendship. Next, is this awesome pegasus who easily pulls of the Sonic Rainboom & is as loyal as can be to her loved ones known as Rainbow Dash! Then there's this honest apple harvesting mare known as Applejack, I think at times she hinted to having a crush on me a few times. Then there's the Party thrower extrordinaire who's a little crazy at times, but really wants her friends to laugh & smile known as Pinkie Pie. Next is a very shy mare, she's kind & has the ability to communicate with all creatures, known as Fluttershy, but the strange thing is that she's a pegasus who's afraid of heights. Last & oh so definently not the least, an elegently white unicom so beautiful, so generous, so oh my goodness! Even though she was imaginary I still love her *Sigh.* Rarity." "Wait, did you just say Rarity?" Asked Screwball. "Yeah, wait is she real?" "Not really, I mean she's the twin sister of Nightmare Moon who are both in your royal harem but, she's not the color white." "What's her name?" "Nightmare Rarity." In the background you could hear a piano's keys being slammed hard. "Spike, is something wrong?" "No no, let's just go home." "Alright." Then Discord snapped his fingers teleporting them to Canterlot Castle. > Ch.2: His Home. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Shogun Deezutra!" Discord called out. "Yes my lord?" "Invite the residents of the city & Ponyville." "Yes, we want everyone to know Spike is back from his 4 year long slumber!" Then Celestia nuzzled him. "Right away." Then like that, he dashed off. "(Who's that guy? He seems so familiar.)" Apparently you don't remember all the times I put him in my stories you purple moron king of Jupiter. Man I'm so butt hurt today, Tails killed Luigi in the new episode of Death Battle, and in they didn't even show the combatants for the next episode, alls I know is one of the challengers is going to be a Pokemon, I'm betting it's Lucario, Jigglypuff or Mewtwo. Who do you think is damn next!? As I was saying, Spike was trying to take everything in still. He still can't believe he's a prince, but is still unable to believe that his father is Discord! But things aside, he's fairly happy to have a family still. "Umm..." "I'm going to take a nap. DON'T DISTURB ME!" Luna told them then teleported *Poof!* "I'm taking Screwball to the ballgame! Bye-bye." Said Discord "Go Manehattan Cyborgs!" Screwball cheered then was teleported. "I'm gonna go leave and hangout with my boyfriend Rumble, later dude." Then Barb ran some other way. I'm going to take nap as we..." Then she felt a tug on her tail. "Yes, something wrong?" "I Don't know where my room is. I need a tour because my coma made me forget." " *giggle.* Private Veetrix." "Yes milady?" "Please give Spike here a tour of the castle." "Spike? Hey isn't that that kid you told us were in comatose? Glad to see he's finally up from his ultra long sleep. I'll be more than happy to assist a prince of Canterlot who isn't Blue whiner." "I told you, it's Blue...Blood?" He was shocked to see Spike. "Cousin? Oh, I'm so glad you're back." Then he walked toward them. "We have a-lot to catch up on!" "Sorry Nephew, but Spike needs to refresh his memory on our home." "Drats!" "Don't be like that Blueblood, How's about we take a guy's night out tomorrow & flirt up some mares?" "I guess that'll make-up for not being able to spend quality time with my favorite family member. Have fun then, I'll be at Pony Joe's." "(He may like me, but I don't like him.)" Spike thought. "Alrighty Spike, no more dilly dallying, time to get this show on the road." Veetrix told him. Now we're gonna go through a Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends style montage. Oh come-on, you remember the premiere of that show where Wilt gave Mac & Bloo the tour right? Well we're gonna do something similar. "Okay Prince Spike, 1st of all you need to know, is about the living room. As you can see, it's big but comfy. next we have the laundry room, dining room, Your mom's study, your dad's study, your Aunt's study, Your study!" "I have my own study?" "Yeah, apparently you were the most studious of the family." "Cool." "Next we have the arcade, employee bathroom, weight room, bowling room, ballroom. I was told this was where you threw up for your 1st & only time." "Gross dude." "Yesiree and indeedy. Next we have Screwball's room, Luna's room, your parent's room, Barb's room. As you can see, every male in this castle heeds the sign lest we get burned to a crisp." The sign says the only boys allowed in are Rumble & Spike." "Wow, she must really love me to let me in there." "Well, that's half the reason, the other half is because you're her twin. A clone per say." "Ah, I see." "Next we have hallways, hallways, hallways, hallways..." Then Veetrix & Spike started getting tired. "Hallways, petroom!" Then Veetrix perked-up. "Over there preening is your mom's phoenix: Philomena. That adolescent phoenix chick rocketing towards you is Peewee." "Oof!" *Chirp.* *Chirp.* *Chirp.* "Peewee, oh I'm so glad you're not an imagination." "Hmm?" "I'll tell yah at a later time, now who's that?" "Oh, that crazy pony is Screw loose, Screwball's pet barking pony." "Okay, I'm creeped out now." "Let's get outta here, Next we have the balcony, look at the million bit view of Ponyville over yonder!" "Wow, A-amazing, so Ponyville is real." "Next is the astronomy room, panic room, the private garden, court room, office, this is where official stuff such as delivery papers are written & signed by political people your mom hired when Celestia isn't working. Truth is, your mom makes days end fast when she's feeling lazy, which is about once every 4 to 5 and half months." "Haha, that's funny." "Alright kid, the tour is almost over. Dungeon, torcher chamber, testing chamber, science lab, thrown room, etc. etc. and finally, you're bedroom. Well, that's all, I'm gonna go get a snack." "Bye Veetrix, I'll be sure to have mom give you a raise. Peewee, let your master be alone for a while if you'd kindly" Peewee flew off and Spike then turned to face his bedroom door, he opened it, then was shown jaw dropping amazingness! His room was luxurious, the closet was lined with the best fashions, a silver colored Nintendo 3DSXL rested atop a golden nightstand. The bedside lamp made out of emeralds & topaz was imported from the Crystal Empire. His bed had zebra print blankets & pillows. The velvet carpet matched the curtains. It seems Spike had his very own balcony & bathroom. The pure white walls were decorated with assorted jems. An airduct could be seen next to his door. Finally, a bunch of ladies were lined up wearing transparent clothing. "Master, we're so happy you're back! Your royal harem missed you." "Whu?" Spike was shocked to see all the girls in his harem. The following, are Nightmare Moon, Gilda, Trixie, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Queen Chrysalis, Nightmare Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, Suri Polomare, Mane-iac, and Chimera."(My goodness gracious, did I seriously envision my own harem as the villains in my dream? I'm so horrible!)" He thought while turning around attempted to process what had just happened. Then he felt a hoof on his shoulder. "Are you okay darling?" Asked Nightmare Rarity. "Yes, yes I am. (I guess this world is fine. I mean come-on, she may not be 'that' Rarity, but she's still Rarity.) Everyone, I have an important announcement!" "What is it you command master?" Gilda asked. "I have not had sex for 4 years, I bet you all know what's going to happen next." "We sure do." Sunset Shimmer answered. So all 12 in the room went under the sheets, for something I bet is very hard to envision in your head. > Ch.3: A Welcome Home Party Gone Horribly Wrong! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A party was in full swing welcoming Spike back from his 4 year coma! All of Spike's friends were there! "(Alright your Ponyville friends besides those 6 are real.)" "Hey Spike." "Rumble, glad you could make it!" He & Spike then shook claw & hoof. "So how are things between you & Barb?" "Great dude! Also, after that incident 4 years ago, all of your friends swore to never miss another one of your parties ever again." "Really, that's awesome." "Yeah, Garble in particular rejects the fact that he misses you. But he took to your incident the hardest" Then Spike spat out his punch in Lyra's face. "I-I'm friends with Garble!?" "You forgot that your BFF was Garble?" "(My Bestie is...no matter, I guess he's a very nice guy to be my friend.)" "Spike, you okay? You seem traumat..." Then Rumble was tackled. "Thought you could hide from me, huh darling?" Barb said to him. "Umm, no not really babe." "Heh, I'll just leave you 2 alone." "See you bro." Spike walked around to find his other friends, that's when he bumped into 3 he never expected to be there. "Oh, sorry you okay bud...Oh Spike, it's great to see you again." Then Spike's eyes widened intensely. "Shining Armor?" "Yes." "Princess Cadence?" "How come you're asking like you don't remember?" "Flash Sentry?" "Milady, your cousin seems shocked to see us." "No-no, I'm not shocked at all! I actually forgot a-lot since my coma. Also, Shining Armor? (Here's my chance, tell me she's real. Please!)" " 'Sup?" "Does the name: Twilight Sparkle ring any bells?" "No, why?" "Just asking. (SHOOT!)" "Spike!" A familiar voice called out. "I better go, I wanna see what my other friends want." Then they waved bye. He found where the voices were coming from. He then looked at the 3 with great sincerity. "Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo..." His eyes began to shed tears of joy. He then squeezed them all hard. "Boy, you must really be happy to see us buddy." Said Applebloom "Oh, it's much much more than happy! I missed you 3 the most, worried all my Ponyville friends didn't exist!" "What?" "I'll explain later." "My lord, your mother & father a request you come with them to the stage!" Said Shogun Deezutra. "Alright, better make my dramatic entrance!" Once Spike was behind the curtains, his family was there with him. "Alright, here's the plan, you wait here with your sisters. We'll do the rest to welcome you back to Equestria." " 'Kay mom." "Private Veetrix, kill the lights!" Then all the lights went off. Then a spotlight was shown on the stage. Celestia & Discord came out from behind the navy blue curtains. "Hello our subjects." "We're gathered here today to welcome back someone who's been asleep for 4 years!" "Ladies & gentlecolts, please give a warm welcome back to...Prince Spike the dragon!" Then everyone roared with applause & the lights went back on. That's when... "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!" A strong roar blasted across the room. "(So, he's still evil!)" A black cloud flew in! It's eyes were green, red and purple. It's intimidating glare scared away the ponies, causing panic. "King Sombra!" Spike muttered "Who?" Asked Celestia. "Mom, it's King Sombra!" "King Sombra? But I thought Cadence, Luna and Shining Armor obliterated him after the Crystal Empire returned. Wait, how do you know about King Sombra? The Crystal Empire only returned 2 years ago. While you were asleep in a hospital 4 years ago?" "I had my suspicions after I saw his horn survived." Shining Armor & Spike said simultaneously. "Wait, how do you know this?" "In my coma, it was me who killed him!" *Gasp!* SPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!" The angry cloud then materialized into pony form. He then fired a blast of dark energy at Spike, but was guarded by Celestia's force field. "King Sombra, your darkness & hatred cannot beat our light & love." "Muahahaha! Oh, this isn't an attack, I'm stealing your soul Princess Celestia!" "WHAT!?" Celestia's golden colored soul was then absorbed into Sombra's mouth. Celestia then fell to the floor lifeless. Discord ran to caress her body. Barb cried into Screwball's shoulder, Luna collapsed, Blueblood's jaw dropped, Shining Armor & Cadence held each other in mourning. Spike looked on with horror. "Muahahaha! Goodbye everypony, or shall I say future slaves! I'm gonna use my new power to takeover the whole world! Not just Equestria!" Then he flew of with bat like wings he just sprouted. Spike then felt extreme anger! "He'll pay for this!" "Spike..." They all jumped with surprise hearing Celestia's weak voice. "Mom?" "If you're going to defeat Sombra, then you'll nee these!" She used what little drop of magic energy he had left to summon... "Th-the Elements of Harmony?" > Ch.4: Spike vs. Sombra's Hordes Part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hmph, so I guess that dream told you about these as well, but these aren't the real Elements of Harmony, they..." "They were returned to the tree of Harmony, I know. So what in the world are these?" "They are power gems I created myself just incase of dire situations, they may wield half the strength of the original, but they are still just as useful. I call them: The Limited Elements of Harmony." "Limited? (Is that suppose to be a reference the Yu-gi-oh card: Rank-up Magic Limited Barrien's Force?)" "Yes, so please take them. A kind hearted dragon, who is honest & loyal, being generous in offering your assistance to anyone, and making them laugh till the end. One who has formed magical bonds with many hearts. Now I'm going to faint! I may not die, but my body is weak, but before I faint, I grant you my son...wings!" Then wings sprouted from his back. He then put the Limited Element of Honesty around his neck. The Limited Element of Generosity around his waist. The Limited Element of Laughter around his left arm. The Limited Element of Loyalty around his right arm. The Limited Element of Kindness around his chest (Boy, these necklaces sure can stretch.). Last but not least, the Limited Element of Magic on his head. Then a golden light shined around him, then he was engulfed in A rainbow light, and once it dissapated, he ended up wearing golden armor & weilded a jousting lance. "Wow bro, you look awesome!" Screwball Complimented. "Thanks, now I must go, I no time for dilly dallying anymore." Then he soared off into the sky! Later... "SOMBRA!" Spike bravely cried out!" "Hmph, if you're willing to die then so be it! You'll be tired out after taking on my minions, go kill this foolish Prince!" "Bring it on!" Then a circular battle arena appeared giving Spike a place to land. Wave 1/10: Changelings & Zombie Ponies. "Ah, zombies!" "Don't be scared Spike!" "Gilda?" "Hi Spike, your family, friends, and harem are telepathicly communicating, here to give you our strength!" Explained Sweetie Belle. "Show this monster who's boss!" "Why are changelings being controlled by King Sombra? Don't they follow you Chrysalis?" "I stepped down after joining your harem." "Ah, now I see." He then finished them all off. Wave 2/10: Diamond Dogs, Goblins, and Zombie Ponies. "More zombies!? Also, come-on, really? The Diamond Dogs?" "Stop complaining dude!" Said Flash Sentry "Hey, I just hate these guys oh so much!" "Just wait for their ground attack, then dodge & counter attack. Look out for those goblins, those spiked clubs are quite deadly!" Explained Sunset Shimmer. Spike made quick work of them all. Wave 3/10: Changelings, Timber Wolves, and Zombie Ponies. "Dang, Sombra must have zombies to spare." Said Scootaloo. Once again, Spike ended them all. For good measure to ensure the broken pieces of wood don't pull themselves back together, he burned them all to ash. Wave 4/10: Parasprites, Vampire Fruit Bats, Goblins, Zombie Ponies, and Hydra! "Whoa, these are a-lot of enemies!" Spike said. "Spike, me & Cadence are going to teleport to you a magical bladed boomerang to kill the Hydra, just make sure to kill the other enemies before throwibg it." Luna told him. Spike took out all the smaller enemies so Spike could cut off all the heads including the 1 invincible one. Wave 5/10:Diamond Dogs, Buffalo, Goblins, Zombie Ponies, and Timber Wolves. "Hey Spike..." Spike then interrupted Trixie. "Lemme guess, when the buffalo charge, have them runover other enemies. That's brilliant, thank you honey!." Spike then used this strategy to quickly kill them all. "Get ready Spike, the 6th wave is coming up!" Said Shogun Deezutra. "*Huff.* I'm starting to get tired." "Well, guess it's time for me to join in & help you out!" "That voice..." "Hey dude, long time, no see." "Garble!?" Everyone yelled in astonishment. > Ch.5: Spike vs. Sombra's Hordes Part 2: Double Dragon > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Whoa, isn't this a twist!" Discord said while holding Twist up by the tail. Wave 6/10: Changelings, Buffalo, Goblins and Zombie Ponies. "Not even flinching from actual zombies? You really have changed dude!" Said Garble, while puching a buffalo's face in. "I know, that dream I had really helped." They then took out all of them. Wave 7/10: Diamond Dogs, Parasprites and Zombie Ponies. "I Diamond Dogs, a dragon's worst enemy in relation to gems!" "I know, these mutts suck so much cock!" They finished them off fast! Wave 8/10: Teen Dragons, Vampire Fruit Bats and Zombie Ponies. "Wow, these teenage dragons Sombra hired sure are ugly."Said Diamond Tiara. "Yeah, good thing we're with a handsome & sexy young adult dragon." Added Silver Spoon. "Aww, you girls make blush." Said Spike. "Wow, you're just as namby pamby back from when we 1st met." "Garble, now's not the time for insulting friends." Spike and Garble finished the wave off. Wave 9/10: Teen Dragons, Timber Wolves and Zombie Ponies. "I got nothing." "Me too." They then dispatched with them. Wave 10/10: Changelings, Vampire Fruit Bats, Zombie Ponies, Timber Wolves, and Giant Timber Wolf. "Whoa, that's one giant piece of wood!" Scootaloo said. "That's what she said." Applebloom joked. "Spike, stand next to me, focus the dragon's forceful energy into your heart, then on the count of 3, blast out fire!" "Got it!" "1...2..3 fire!" Then Spike and Garble blasted a gigantic wall of fire incinerating everylast minion! "Yeah!" "You 2 did it! Great job boys!" Nightmare Moon & Nightmare Rarity said in unison. "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! You may have defeated my army, but I still have Celestia's soul!" "King Sombra! So glad you've decided to enter, cause I just got my 2nd wind!" Spike told him. "You're going down." "How could you steal the soul of Equestria's glorious leader!? We will stop you!" Garble said with honor. > Ch.6: I Love This World, Even if They're not with Me > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Spike, you maybe wondering how I know you even though we never met in this world. In your dream & in this world, when I was destroyed in both versions of the Crystal Empire, my horn ended up on the exact same spot! My hatred, rage and need for revenge allowed me to comeback here! Also, with Celestia's power I have the ability to send you back to Equestria where your precious imaginary friends live with this one spell." "Y...you can send me back to the Equestria I came to accept when I was in comatose?" "Don't listen to him Spike!" Suri called out. "Yes, he's spouting crazy shit!" Mane-iac added. "..." "So what will it be? Go back there, and let me rule here? Or stay here & die at my hooves!?" Spike closed his eyes, raised his head to face Sombra, then opened them with intense rage, and righteous justice. "Fuck off! If I decide to go back to that world, I'd be taking the easy way out & dooming everyone here! I bet you they'd look down on me with much dissapointment & dissaproval. besides, even though those 6 arent here with me! They'll always be with me in my heart! Pinkie Pie, the chosen one for the Element of Laughter..." Then the Limited Element of Laughter began to glow. "...Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty's chosen one..." Then the Limited Element of Loyalty glowed. "...Fluttershy, the one chosen for the Element of Kindness, Applejack chosen for Honesty..." Then the Limited Elemens of Kindness and Honesty glowed. "...She's not exactly fake, but Rarity, being chosen for Generosity..." Then the Limited Element of Generosity glowed. "...Last & certainly not ever least, Princess Twilight Sparkle the one chosen for the Element of Magic!" Then the Limited Element of Magic glowed. "What the? What's with this light!?" "It's the magic of friendship!" Then the Mane 6's transparent figures appeared. "NO! It cannot be! This awful positive energy is overtaking MEEEEEEE!!!" "Garble, get back!" "You don't have to tell me twice!" Then Spike fired off a destructive 6 ray beam led by the transparent Mane 6! Then King Sombra got blasted! "NOOOOOOOO!!! MARK MY WORDS, I WILL RETURN TO KILL YOU PRINCE SPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!!!" *Boom!* All there was left was Sombra's armor and horn. "And for good measure..." *Crush!* He crushed the horn into dust. Princess Celestia's soul then returned to her body. Celestia then stood-up. "You did it, well done my son." "Yaaaaaaaaay!" Everyone cheered. "Alright, guess we can go now." "Not just yet dude." "What do you mean?" Garble pointed and Spike saw something amazing. All 6, still transparent, gave him a hug goodbye before they faded away completely. Spike then smiled & cried tears of absolute joy & fell to his knees. Then the sun rose over the mountains. Minutes later they all had a victory party. Spike requested he'd have some alone time with Princess Celestia & she agreed. "Okay Spike, we're alone now. What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" "Veetrix, write this down!" "Yes my lord." "The Magic of Friendship is like no other kind of magic. Even if you have friends who turned out not be real all this time, you can still learn a whole lot from them. Whether or not they're real, your memories of them will always be in your heart. Signed Spike. P.S.: Honk! Did you get that all Private?" "Yes." "What do you think mom?" "It sounds delightful, but what is it?" "It's a lesson I learned. It's called a friendship report. I'd like to tell you about the lessons of friendship I learned when I was in ny coma! So others can learn how to make an eternal bond with thier friends, and I'd like that anti-social student of yours to learn a thing or 2 as well about friendship and report what she learns directly to you." "Excellent my son." "Now, what was her name again?" "Spike, how could you forget your childhood crush Moondancer?" The End
