"All right time to see whats on the list."

"Um Twilight everything is checked we been through this in the morning."Spike said as a pile of paper was behind him leaving Twilight with a embarrassing blush.

"I'm sorry Spike this is the first time we have to solve a friendship problem from the dragon lands!"Twilight couldn't contain her excitement.

"I know Twi but why do I have to stay? I'm sure that Ember would love to see me."

"Spike now that she is a dragon lord she will be more busy than ever." Twilight said seeing the upset dragon leaving the room."I know that you are upset Spike but at least Starlight will keep you coming?" Twilight thought that will cheer him up however no luck as he went to his side of the chair of the cutie map. Twilight sigh and decided it was best to leave him alone for a while.


Couple minutes later

"Alright Starlight I need watch Spike while we head out."

"Okay seems ea-" Starlight was interrupted as Twilight pulled out a list from her saddlebags.

"I taken the liberty of everything Spike likes and this will help you to help you two bond as well.

"Twilight is this even ne-

"Spike will be glad for what fun both of you will have,I would love to stay chat some more but I have to get going! Bye Starlight!" Before Starlight could answer the door close. Starlight threw the list on the floor. She knew how to take care of Spike yet Twilight still babies him.She enter the room and sees Spike reading a new issue of the power ponies comic. "Powerponies,The revenge of the hooflum mare!" Starlight chuckled getting Spike's attention.

"You really likes those comic do you?" She asked Spike who repiled with nod."I thought that those comic can suck you up inside the story?"

"Neh I stop going to that shop after that accident. Imagine if we faced the snowmare then we will be in deep trouble!"

"Yeah hey want to go to sugar cube corner to get a quick bite? I'm buying."

"Really! Alright! I been craving a sapphire cupcake for a while."

"Okay just calm down now let me go back to my room to get my bits."Starlight trotted upstairs.Spike place his comic on top of the cutie map however accidentally falls off the table and landed on the ground.Spike quickly grabs the book to see it was damage although one page from the comic gave Spike a thought.

"Hmmm this could work." Spike mumbled while at the same time ran out the door along with a old book from the shelves.

"Okay Spike I found my bits now-" Just as Starlight descended down the stairs she could see the castle was empty but more importantly she couldn't find Spike. "I am in big trouble now!" At the moment she imagine Twilight's rage quickly moving her hoofs to the door while she tries desperately to find Spike all over Ponyville.

"Where is he!" Starlight kept shouting. "How can one dragon disappear already!"


Everfree Forest.

"Seriously why is everything located in this sticking forest?" Spike thought to himself stumbling in a cave."This must be it." Spike continue to travel forward seeing the mirror pool in front of him. "Now what was the rhymes again?"Spike grabbed the book and quickly read the rhyme.

"Let see....Where the brambles are thickest, there you will find
A pond beyond the most twisted of vines and into her own reflection she stared,
Yearning for one whose reflection she shared,
And solemnly sweared not to be scared
At the prospect of being doubly mared."

"Lets hope my clone isn't a girl." Spike waited for his clone to step out yet nothing stepped out."Um hello? Its me Spike you can come out now!" Spike waited and waited but his clone never came out."Maybe it's a pony thing." Spike mumbled sadly leaving the cave. After he left the pool begin to bubble.


Ponyville

"This is bad! I can't believe I lost Spike! Twilight may never speak or worst I have to leave Ponyville." Starlight kept prancing around thinking what to do."Maybe I could have the town form a search party, yeah maybe I could tell Trixie to help out." Starlight was about to head out the door until the door opened revealing the purple dragon who is wearing a green overalls and yellow rubber boots for some reason.

"Spike! Thank goodness your okay!"

"Eeep!" Starlight blinked for a minute. Was Spike try to imitate Fluttershy?

"Spike are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine just hungry!" A familiar voice was heard by the door. Starlight turned her head seeing Spike in front of her.

"Wait if your Spike then who am I ...."Starlight took one look of the "Spike" she was holding.The only response she could do was this. She fell on her back and fainted.

"This is not good." Spike said hearing a eep from his clone."Now what do we do with you?" Spike said to the clone who fainted as well from Spike comment towards him.

"Well for certain your name is Flutterspike." Spike said to himself as he grab a blanket from his room and place it on top of them. "I guess I have to wait now."Spike thought hearing his stomach growling."Hey friends come first then food!" Spike shouted at his stomach which remained quiet."That's better!"

Wait what!?

"Starlight?! Starlight?!"

"I don't think she's waking up."

"Your right! Well...to get the bucket of water."

"I-I don't think that wil-

"Too late!"

*Splash!*

"Aaah!" Starlight scream as she shivered from the cold water dripping over her fur and mane."Spike where is the clone?"

"Oh he's right here?"Starlight turn her head seeing the clone waving shyly."Flutterspike this is Starlight....unless you remember her."Spike said to him who nodded while blushing.

"Flutterspike?"

"Well he does act like Fluttershy so that's why I named him."

"Spike we need to have a talk."

"Why can't we at least talk after we eat I'm so hungry!" Starlight sigh hearing Spike's stomach growling.

"Fine! but remember "he" can't leave!"

"Alright Starlight you can count on me!"Spike said as Starlight closed the door.

"I'm pretty sure you can help me clean the library?" Spike said hearing only silent. "Flutterspike? Flutterspike!" Spike froze seeing Flutterspike on the roof talking to a group of birds.

"Why yes I think this day is beautiful indeed Mr bird."

"Flutterspike!" Flutterspike heard Spike's voice."How did you get up there!"

"Hmm?" Once Flutterspike saw how high he was ,his pupil shrink and started to hold on to the branch with all his life. Spike was amaze how he act like Fluttershy, for once Spike started to think he was her, maybe he could tell Twilight about this however something caught his eye.Behind Flutterspike was wings.

"Really? you got to be kidding me?! Flutterspike you need to fly down!"

"No! I-its too high!"

"Flutterspike please if you don't get down just imagine how the birds will feel if you can't get down."

"No I can't!

"Alright I will think of a plan to-"

"Aaahh!"Spike gazed up seeing a levitating Flutterspike descending on the floor.Spike gulp and turn his head to see what was behind him.

"Wait what!"




A few hours later.

"Spike! I'm home!"

"Great thanks for the food gotta go bye!"

"Spike!" Starlight shouted at him causing him to gulp."What happend!"

"Nothing happened why?"

"Spike!'

"Okay okay! Something did happened!"

"Well what is it!"Starlight shouted to Spike who was sweating uncontrollability.

"Well...."

"Spike what is it?"

Spike sigh."Another one showed up."Spike finally spoke to her.Spike saw Starlight frozen in place dropping the box."Aww Now its a mess."

"Spike where is the other one?"

"With Flutterspike."Starlight let out a breath in relive."In Twilight's room."Her eye widen from that response.

The brains arrived....finally....plus the awesomeness!

"Starlight are you sure we sure be doing this? They seem pretty nice!"

"That's the problem Spike! We know they are your clones but we don't even know what they want! What if they are thinking of taking over Equestria or maybe kidnapping Twilight!"

"I pretty sure that won't happen lets just hear them out."

"Okay." Starlight sigh in defeat as she place her eyes on the door.

"Um..are you sure this will work?"

"Yes it will if this goes correctly than everything will be in place." A voice was heard with Flutterspike. Spike gasped along with Starlight.They both opened the door revealing the voice. This clone looks like Spike however wore a suit but no jacket.He even wore glasses however the strange part is that he had a horn. Spike and Starlight turn her head seeing Flutterspike with some equipment on.

"What is going on Spilight!"

"Spilight?"Starlight replied back in confusion.

"What I am doing is a way to return back to the pond since I can perform magic I could copy the same amount of magic she did to return all the Pinkie pies back to the pond."

"You want to go back?" Starlight said Spilight who replied with a nod."Why?"

"Because we don't belong here we are just copies of him with the abilities and personalities of his friends.If this go right we are gone. Spilight said as he light up his horn."Flutterspike are you ready?"

"No argh!?" Flutterspike was stuck by Spilight's beam leaving her unconscious on the floor.Starlight and Spike sees Spilight sigh as he left the room.

"The magic was the same how can it failed."Spilight thought. "Even if she mess it could have put the real Pinkie in the pond. Spilight kept thinking."Maybe dragons are different or maybe we can't go back."Both of them watch seeing Starlight wonder off,They felt sorry for him.

"Spike you should talk to him I will check on Flutterspike?"

"Alright!"



Ponyville


All the of Ponyville was peaceful for everypony. Scootaloo was trotting to sugarcube corner until she sees a blur.

"Rainbow Dash! I can't believe it shes back!" Scootaloo gallop toward the blur which was close to the cutie mark treehouse. As she made her way to the blur something wasn't right. What she saw was Spike wearing a purple tracksuit but the jacket was open.He was wearing sunglasses although she was surprise that he had wings.

"Spike? when did you get wings?" Scootaloo asked Spike who chuckled.

"For being awesome!"

Why!

Spike saw Spilight using a chalkboard thinking of meaning theory. He then notices that he had a lab coat on now.

"No no no! This is all wrong if I really am like him why do I have her powers even Flutterspike is like Fluttershy."Spilight continue to think."She did use him as a test pig.....but he didn't.....wait I got it!"

"Got what?" Spike enter the room surprising Spilight.

"Well what did the girls always do to you everyday?"

"Well I was hugged...wait is that why you have their abilities! Because of the hug!"

"Exactly! As you may know All of them have magical abilities with seem to have been contact with you so the magical properties transfer in your body."Spilight explain to a confused Spike."It means you absorbed the elements of harmony from them!"

"So you saying...."

"Me and Flutterspike aren't the only one."

"Oh no not another Pinkie Pie!" Spike shouted hearing hoofsteps nearby.

"What happened!" Starlight's voice was heard nearby Spilight explain Starlight everything. She sanked in the ground after hearing about more of them especially another Pinkie Pie.

"Don't worry I devise a plan that would find them." Spilight took out a machine and place it on his eye. "I created a device that can detect any magic nearby. I call it a scouter." Spilight pressed one button on and the eyewear started to create some strange noises."That weird it said that there is one nearby?"

"Twilight,Starlight? Are you hear? Spike is acting weird?" Scootaloo's voice was heard.Everyone in the room gasp quickly revealing another Spike.

"Huh."Spike spoke first."I kinda thought Pinkie Pie would show up."

"Yeah I know."

"Hey!" Starlight and Spike were interrupted by the new Spike clone."No pony ignores awesomeness like me."Scootaloo's eyes widen when she saw all of the other Spike.

"What is going on?"

"Yeah what is going on!" Everyone yelled seeing another Spike out of nowhere who replied with a adorable giggle. This Spike wore a pink turtleneck sweater and cargo shorts with seems to be a pink rubber rainboots.

"Oh no!" Spike,Spilight,and Scootaloo screamed.

A quick introduction plus a royal problem!

Everypony sees the Pinkiespike sitting down rocking back and forth.The more he rocks the more he laughs.

"Back and forth! Back and forth! Back and forth!"Pinkiespike kept saying while the other Spikes sitting in other chairs.

"So let me get this straight you use the mirror pond because you felt lonely and your clones came out like Princess Twilight and the others?!"Scootaloo said while Spike said.

"Well you put it that way."Spike nervously chuckled getting a glare from Scootaloo and Starlight."Okay okay I'm sorry!"

"But Spike."Starlight spoke gaining the attention of Spike."I remember Twilight saying that the Pinkies were out of control but to me they just want to go back."

"Why?"Scootaloo asked.

"They know they don't belong here."

"Exactly."Spilight said cleaning his glasses."We are copy we don't have a reason to exist all we want is to go back."

"What will happened if you go back?"

"We probably won't exist."Spilight said coldly."I sure your friends won't like us either maybe even Celestia!"

"Wait I hugged Celestia when I was little and she used the Elements long ago does that mean we might have a Spilesitia!"Everypony stayed quiet.

"Lets just hope that never happens?"Starlight said as her ears perk up.

"Wait I hugged Spike and he even hugged Thorax I'm sure we will have a clone of Spike."Starlight said as she started laughing."If we are stuck together I guess all of you could introduce your selves."

"Certainly I guess I'm call Spilight and I like books and studying."

"I like the name you gave me so that means I'm PinkieSpike! I like party and making new friends!"

"You can call me Rainbow Spike the awsomeness dragon in all of Equestria!"

"Second to awesomeness."Scootaloo muttered to not to get caught by Rainbow Spike.

"Um I am F-Flutterspike,I-I like t-t-tending a-a..."

"Flutterspike it's okay.we're friends here you don't have to be shy."Starlight said hearing a sigh from Flutterspike.

"Thank you."

"Well we have to find *blech!*"Spike stood frozen seeing a letter from the ground.Starlight levitated the letter and started reading it.Spike thought it won't be bad until hearing a gulp from Starlight.

"Who is it from?!"

"Celestia it seems there is a problem and wants us to deal with it in Canterlot castle."

"How bad it is!" Spike said shaking seeing a the royal chariot outside only to see Luna in it.
