————————————————————
This is my first fanfic here. Spike is my fav character so I wanted to write about him first. I have no idea how this is going to go. Pinkie Pie is the second most important character to this story. I have no Genre for this yet. I have somewhat part of story (no I am not starlord.) Anyway this will be fun and have a good day everyone. Going to rate this Teen to be safe.
I like to write them more as people than pony. Because I don't get the Pony/MLP age lore which drives me nuts. So doing it in a more Human sense makes it easier for me.
Spike is a young boy who was fresh in High school with his sister two years in and is now going to be able to join in on the fun. Often Spike for his dragon blood is seen as a child, but because he goes into a freshman year in high school. He can't be treated as a child anymore by Twilight and her friends. He was a bit tired of being left out. Sure, Big Mac, Discord, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, Wallflower Blush, and even Pinkie Pie sometimes. Hang out with him and play with ogres and oubliettes. Although Pinkie Pie for some reason always did the weirdest things as the bard.
Other than that, it was a fun time. Although at first Big Mac for a while like everyone else thought Spike was four to five years younger than he was. When Spike finally told him. Big Mac wasn't sure about it at first. Once, Big Mac had read some books that Twilight owns on dragons. He knew Spike was telling the truth. Big Mac has expressed that he has tried to tell AppleJack. Although it seemed every time, he did somehow something prevented him from telling her. Spike is happy with his life. He just hopes Rarity will return his feelings finally.
Spike was in some dark purple pants with a steel chain on it. Spike just thought the chain would look cool hanging from his right hip. Along with that, he had a green T-shirt with a purple hoodie. These were his basic detailed look for wear that is often the same. He was 4.5 feet tall in American terms. Which is 137.16 centimeters. Spike learned this because often Twilight liked the idea of knowing and understanding different cultures and their differences. Which leads to her drilling this kind of info along with anything else you can think of, into his head. Don't get Spike wrong, he loved his sister and was grateful to her. Sometimes she would just hop around from babying him to treating him like he was a super genius adult. That aside today he was going to ride with his sister who was driving him to his first day of High school. Which by mistake almost dropped Spike off out of habit at his old middle school. Twilight as she was driving could be seen with her usual black tie and white shirt with a dark purple vest over it. She had her long purple with a star-marked skirt. She had on her usual glasses although Spike knew she hadn't needed them ever since she started high school. It confused me what changed and how no one seemed to see that she had removed the lens for her glasses and only had the rims on now.
Spike knows something is going on these days with Twilight. Somehow everyone else in their lives has close friends and/or family except for Miss Twilight Velvet and Mister Night Light also known as Spike's adoptive parents. Big Mac, Apple Bloom, and/or AppleJack are not telling Spike anything, and they are the most honest people he knows. It worries him sometimes. Now when they get to the high school Twilight finds parking since it was the first day the student council for this year where at the doorway to the school greeting everyone coming into the building making sure everyone feels welcomed and that they were given a special pin to mark what year they are.
It was a big building known as Equestria High. The high school of equality for all evolved humans. For back 1000 years ago or so. A strange event happened that made it, so humans got mixed with powerful magic blood types, and not one person was left without this effect within the body. So, names give an idea of the differences between all special types of changes to the body like how fast they age, how strong they are, what other special things they can do, etc. Each type even has a sub-type.
For example. Twilight is a pony magic type. Specialist in powerful magic arts and scientific understanding. Her subtype is rising power. As time goes on, she can grow stronger faster than the normal pony magic type allowing her to become a powerful protector. A different example is a fellow dragon-blood type Ember. One of Spikes' closest friends and leader of the Dragon-land gang. Although nowadays they are more of a watchdog group than a gang. They will not stand on the side although if someone is in danger. It was one of Ember's new rules to protect those in need for all dragon-blood members and honorary members as well. She has the sub-type of dragon leader. She can lead how she wants with a powerful aura because of her sub-type. Each subtype is unique to each person.
Spike as he got his pin went on his way to get his class schedule. When he was getting it. He is blinded from behind after speaking with Principal Celestia about his first year which she does for all new students. He hears a voice anyone can tell who it is from the get-go. "Hey ya, Spike! How is one of my closest friends doing!? I can't wait to throw your first day of high school party! I know you like my parties!"
"AHAHAHAH. Pinkie. Who doesn't like your parties? While I do appreciate the thought. Right now, I think it would be best if you didn't. It would be unfair to all the new students to only have a party for me, having my first day here seen as special." Spike smiles.
Pinkie smiles. Although in his younger years, Twilight and Pinkie were friends. Spike thought she was a bit insane. But Spike now greatly regrets those thoughts and wishes he had never had them. Out of all of Twilight's friends. Spike was grateful that Pinkie was one of them. Each of the six friends that Twilight has made. Have helped her grow in mind and heart. She often struggled with the idea of friends and because of each of them showed her Kindness, Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Laughter, and Mercy. Along with each learning along the way how friendship works and grow together as friends. Spike wouldn't have changed anything that had happened to them at this point. Although that time with that strange magic item that cloned Pinkie Pie. Yeah, something about that day just felt off to him.
Pinkie smiled at Spike in understanding, "Ah, fair enough. But that doesn't mean I am not going to throw your party still. You are going to get some of the most fun. You will ever have at this party tonight at 6 with dinner at my place."
"Interesting, why your place although? Wouldn't it make more sense that it would be in a park or somewhere else? I know your sister Marble Pie doesn't like you throwing parties at the family home. I don't want to have to hear your sisters screaming in my or your ear." Spike explains his thoughts.
Pinkie rolls her eyes, "Spike, Spike, one my family including my sisters are off making a deal with another rock farm in a different place miles from here. Two I understand your worry she did almost caused Limestone to go deaf. She has learned not to yell at people as much as a result. I wish it didn't happen the way it did, but now I don't have to worry for my own ears. Mister smarty pants. You're acting more like Twilight than usual? guess you really do look up to your big sis."
Spike gives her a look. Although she was right in some sense. Spike didn't like being compared to his sister. Pinkie knows this and uses it to tease him. As long as he is ok with it in the end that is. Spike and Pinkie then start walking along together to meet with all their friends at the auditorium. The school was planning to do an introduction for the freshmen along with welcoming those who were returning students. Spike and Pinkie get to the auditorium then most students to see all their friends grouped together as the follow from left to right. In rows of 12 seats with 4 columns with two seats open to them at the end.
Spike takes a seat next to Twilight while Pinkie Pie sits on the other side of him. Spike looks at Twilight and swings his head to Shining Armor and Cadance. Twilight nods her head and whispers to Spike, "I don't know, they said it would be a surprise."
As Spike talks and catches up with the others. Hearing that Sweetie Bell, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo had found out each of their sub-types finally alongside Babs Seed and Gabby. It was great hearing that news. Thorax has learned how to start a fire for camping with Ember's help. While Ember learned from Thorax some skills in communication. While he was confused on while Sonata Dusk was sitting with them. Don't get him wrong, he and Pinkie befriended her along with Twilight. But He didn't expect the others to let her sit with them just like that. He thought it was just like Thorax had to go through. I would have some help from him, Pinkie and Twilight to get the others to give her a chance. He asked her and she just shrugged her shoulders.
He looks at the others trying to see if anyone will tell him, and Big Mac throws him a note which he catches and reads. 'With what happened with Thorax and how you helped us see not to judge a book by its cover or passed mistakes. When she came up asking if Spike, Pinkie or Twilight was here yet for she was excited to hang out. We were not sure if she was lying or not. Expect for AppleJack then Twilight came in and confirmed that you guys were on a friendship trial. To see if it's possible for her to become friends with her. So far, the others who have interacted with her have enjoyed talking with her.'
Spike looks up and smiles at Big Mac and nods thanking him for the information. Sonata still forgetful it seems. Spike then talks to Twilight, "So Twi, how was talking with Flash."
"Spike, no." Twilight face was flushed and clearly not wanting to talk about how she feels to her knight in shining armor as Rarity would say and no Shining Armor has yet to find out. At some point, although Spike is worried that Shinning would go a bit far and become a ragging dragon if he found out and roast Flash Sentry's pants off just by pure brotherly rage.
Spike then looks to the stage of the auditorium. For Principal Celestia was standing there waiting for everyone to quiet down so she could begin. Once all the students quite down and were ready to listen. Of course, after seeing Vise-Principal Luna deadly glare telling them all to keep it down. Principal Celestia speaks, "My wonderful students welcome back to returning students and to new students who are starting their first year with us. It will be an interesting year for not only we have no students, new programs, and new systems. We also have some new teachers and/or part-time teachers who will be helping with student education. Which Vise-Principal Luna will introduce."
"Thank you Principal Celestia. Now with how things are changing we wanted to this announcement first. Would Shining Armor and Cadance come up to the stage please?" Luna speaks up to call for Shining Armor and Cadanace.
Once both get out of their seats and make their way over to the stage. Once they were both up on the stage. Vise-Principal Luna speaks, "Starting this school year we have specialist combat taught by Shining Armor as a required credit for at least 1 year class. It will be a bit of a strange times although to make it work for everyone's schedule. Now Shining Armor will be its teacher full time. While another class will be added that is not required but a useful one. This class is specialist studies. Which will be explained by the part time teacher Cadance."
"Thank you Luna. Now the new class I am teaching is planned to help out those who struggle understanding their sub-type, alongside information we have on magical items, magical places, meanings behind gifts, and more. It will be a fairly easy class to learn from and to pass. But to make the most use of it. You need to be the ones to put effort into it. This class will count for a History, Humanities, fan arts or secondary language credit. Which some of these although seem confusing on why. You can find out for yourself if you want to take it. I can't wait to meet and teach all such wonderful students this year. " Cadance explains in clear detail about things that students want to know.
This class interested Spike and it also explained why Shining told him it would be a good idea for him to leave a credit and a class time opened for one of these credits. He chose to have it as a secondary language for him it seems. Although how can one class have all of that in one year with such flexibility. It will be an experience.
Shining the comes up and speaks, "my class will be happening Monday to Friday. Each day having a different set of students. From 2:00 to 3:10. Sense everyone needs to take this each class for each day will have 466 students in each one for all 2,330 students to be able to get the credit they need. So with the aid of Principal Celestia and with the approval of parents we will be using the time slower barrier box to allow use to have double the time for class. Don't worry you well all get 30 min break during the middle of class time every time with class. I also know how tiring high school can be."
Once this is all done. The rest of the events, activities and things planned for today along with letting students get know there teachers along with Spike signing up for Cadance class. They gave out everyone's times for Shining class. Spike along with everyone of his friends all luckily got his class on Friday. Spike gave Shining a look who just winked at him and everyone else who questioned it. He likes making so everyone is feels safe and able to be themselves. So he made sure everyone had as many as their friends as he could in the same class it seemed. Plus with how big each one is. It makes sense that he made it work out like that.
Once he was done interacting with his last teacher for Math class for Monday for every A day classes. He makes his way out to see outside all his friends talking and planning it sounded like although he was to far way to hear what. Once he got over Twilight spoke to him, "Hey Spike. So You ready to head over to Pinkie's place for the party?"
"You know it. Although let's not party too late. We have two teachers with us along with you Twi that would get us in huge trouble if we miss our B day classes tomorrow on Tuesday." Spike playfully explained.
The others laugh while Twilight well blushes and Shining goes over, "ahah good one bro. But do remember that I maybe a Teacher here now. I am you're Brother and Friend first. So I won't make a peep if you don't"
Twilight then begins to rant to Shining about how he needs to act more professional and he had a job that he needs to keep. While the other start chatting it up. Sonata seemly getting along with Discord, Pinkie, Sunset and Starlight the most. They are a huge group of friends so it's understandable if they all can't interact or know what's going on all the time. Spike is happy everyone seems to get along even with newer young people like him, Apple Bloom and the others with them. As Spike was chatting with Twilight, Shining, Thorax and Ember about the plans as they head out. Once he makes are way over to Twilight's car and everyone else to there own rides to get to Pinkie Pie's family home.
Once Twilight gets into car. Spike is about to hop in. When he sees something on the ground that is fairly shiny. He picks it up and it looks like some mirror like stone. He quickly pockets it. As Twilight asks him what's the hold up. He gets in the car and Twilight begins the drive. Half way there Spike decides it maybe the best time to figure out what is going on with Twilight sense she seems even more worried know about whatever she has not told him.
"Twi, please tell me what's going on." Spike speaks out with a bit of a worried voice.
Twilight acting confused asks in return, "Spike whatever are you talking about? I am not worried about anything well other than passing my classes in school."
"Twilight, everyone else knows other than mom and dad know what is happening with you. While I don't. Even Applejack the worse keeper of secrets. You seem to trust more than me." Spike lets out his hurt.
Twilight pulls over to the side of the road as quickly and safely as she could and makes a stop on the side parking the car before hugging Spike, "Spike, I trust you the most out of anyone of our friends. Who was there for me and believe me when I said that the Cadance that Shining was marrying was a fake? You. Who was the one no matter how bad things went for me and I acted like a loony was there to calm me down? You. Who was the best little brother that my parents when he was a baby let me choose for them to adopt. You. I.... I understand you are worried. I just don't want you danger."
"Twilight. I am grateful for you're kind words. But just as much as you worry for me I worry for you. Please I want to help you and be there for you. I can't if you don't tell me what is going on." Spike pleads with Twilight.
Twilight seems to sit there in silence like she is making the biggest choice in her life. "Alright, I will tell you. With everyone else there at the party. Because it involves of them too... Just don't be mad that them. I am the one that told them no matter what not to tell you."
As Twilight starts the car again to get to Pinkie's party. It was clear that something was a foot. Now Spike is somewhat at peace. For once at the party things will change. He can now help twilight instead of feeling useless. He knows it’s going to take her awhile to not baby Spike. He could see it in her eyes that she is second guessing herself. Spike understands the feeling. What if he became more of a burden? Well it’s better to find out than to find out by accidental means. For Spike has a feeling that more than just his school life is changing forever.
Spike smiles as Twilight makes the last turn before they were into the rock farmlands of Pinkie Pie’s home. When twilight finds a place to park. They saw that everyone else had parked and was already there. It was logical as they were the last to leave and with the stopping for their worries for each other. Well Spike was excited and anxious about what was going to happen.
Once he got out of the car and started making his way over. He was stopped by Twilight. “I need to check ahead if they are ready for you. They have something special that they want to have ready first before you came in.”
Twilight heads inside as Spike waits to see if he was good to come in. He hopes that things go well. Last time he was given stuff he well went on a rampage. Thankfully now Ember has given him some training on how to handle it.
Once Twilight and waved her hand to lead Spike in. He made his way over to the door. She and Spike went inside saw Pinkie Pie along with everyone else come out and scream, “Happy Birthday Spike!”
Spike gives a confused look. His birthday wasn’t until next week. He then gets a hug from Pinkie Pie as she smiles, “Yeah, I know. It’s a week early, but I figured it be the best sense from the warning from Shining and Cadance. You wouldn’t be able to focus or even be able to have fun during the second week of school because their classes would have some special things planned for you and all of us. You weren’t the only one they wanted to make sure get in Cadance class.”
Spike gives Shining and Cadance a look. He wants to know what they are planning. They have a reason for this. Whatever it was there is a fair chance it can only spell trouble. Then Twilight speaks up, “Well guys, I am thankful for everyone coming to my brother’s birthday, but it’s time. Spike here really wants to know what’s been happening and… I think he deserves to know.”
“Twi’light, I know you care for your brother. Right down to your core. Are you sure it’s a good idea? This is really risky with what’s happening.” Applejack spoke.
Rainbow Dash adds on, “Yeah, I am with AJ on this one. I already dislike that Scoots here has gotten involved... Just as much as Rarity and AJ feel about Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell gotten rope in all this mess.”
"Dears, now let's calm down. This is mainly Twilight and Shining choice for they are Spike's siblings. He wants to help and so it's clear that well it's best to them say. No matter how we wish Spike to not be hurt." Rarity states.
Fluttershy speaks, "girls, this... is not the time for this. Twilight are you sure?"
"I am. I just hope you agree, Shining. For I agree with Rarity. You should just as much say I do." Twilight explains.
Everyone turns to Shining. Who seems to be thinking. Discord goes on and gives him a pat on the shoulder. Pinkie before Spike can react. Takes him outside. "SORRY, EVERYONE GOT TO TALK TO SPIKE WILL BE BACK IN A FEW SECONDS WAIT FOR US AND TALK THINGS OUT AND MAKE A PLAN FOR WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT HAND THIS WILL BE QUICKIER THAN YOU CAN SAY CREAM PIE!"
Spike and Pinkie Pie are gone from the rest of the group. Outside on top of a hill near her home in 10 secs. Pure randomness is part of Pinkie Pie's sub-type with her type being strength pony. This matters for it helps with her talents as well Pinkie Pie. Although Spike, a bit sick from how fast they moved, sat down and looked up at Pinkie Pie waiting.
"So, why did you bring me out here?" Spike questions.
Pinkie seems to think for a bit about what she should say. "Well...Spike, I don't want you involved in this at all. You are an amazing friend to us and an amazing brother to Twilight. My own sisters have gotten involved and have gotten hurt because of it. I nearly seen to many of my friends get... get...."
Pinkie seems to not be about to bring the words to her mouth. Spike has never seen her like this. Pinkie is someone that hardly ever does not smile. Pinkie is someone that hardly ever fears anything. Pinkie is the most innocent of heart when it comes to things like she is trying to speak of. Just what is happening to cause these guys to be this secretive. To be this worried. Discord of all people seems to be unable to make the problem just pop away. Spike could see it in his friend's eyes. He could tell Discord felt useless.
"Pinkie. No matter what happens. Please continue to smile. Your smile is one of the few things that keeps up the morale of our friends. I know you don't want to see me hurt. But I do not want to see my friends and family hurt. So, with whatever is happening. I will help even if I have to prove to Shining Armor that I can." Spike explains his feelings
Pinkie looks at Spike and thinks about the past. Spike, her wonderful friend, has been able to hold out during some of the hardest of times and was willing to risk his life before for his friends and family. It seems like that was not going to change any time soon. Pinkie hugs Spike. Spike could tell that Pinkie approves of his choice. Although she wished he didn't.
"Hey love birds! Get your butts back here! Shining has an answer!" Discord cries out.
Spike screams back as Pinkie, and he goes back down, "On our way! AND DON'T SAY THAT YOU KNOW PINKIE LIKES CHEESE SANDWICH!"
Pinkie blushes a bit as they make their way down. Once they were back with the others. Shining was standing with Twilight. He was standing up straight like he was boss fight ready to take down anyone that stands in his way. "Spike, I know you well. You are my brother, but I just ask this question if you want my approval. What would you do if you could only save one person out of two people. Who would you save. Me or Twilight."
Everyone gasps at this. This seemed like no one expected this. Flash, Wallflower and Sunset all seemed like they wanted to speak up. But Ember, Smolder and Thorax stopped them. Others decided to sit in wait. Pinkie Pie just smiles at Spike. Twilight seemed natural after her shock was gone.
"Shining... You know that is a trick question. I would save you both no matter the cost to me and only me. Not the lives of others." Spike gives a firm answer before deflecting a magic shot at PINKIE from Shining.
Everyone looks at Shining. They don't move or say anything. Shining after a bit, gives a second shot at Twilight which Spike as quickly as he could get over and barely blocks it. Shining then speaks, "Good work. I figured you could handle that. I just needed to make sure you always be on your toes little bro. Sorry Pinkie and Sis. I just had to make sure Spike could at least defend others sense I already know he can defend himself."
Before he gets a whack to the head from Cadance, Applejack, and Fluttershy. Once everyone calms down and makes sure Shining, Spike, Twilight and Pinkie are ok. Cadance gives Shining a little talk on how that was a bit too far. Spike makes sure both Pinkie and Twilight are alright. While everyone else is talking about plans. How to deal with the dangers of the threats they face. Discord seems to be preparing something to show while Rarity seems to be bringing whatever item they thought Spike would be able to tell right off the bat what it is without how much gift wrapping it has. IT seemed to just be a huge box twice his size.
"Alright. I am sorry dear. Look, I just didn't know what else to do. If we want to deal with the danger that is coming Spike needed to show he was able to help out in some way so the others won't doubt him. You know how for years he was treated like a baby by everyone, even his closest friends. Oh, everyone would have tried to protect him 24/7." Shining explains the worries on his mind.
Many of Spike friends wanted to protest, but those who knew he was right like Big Mac, Discord, Rainbow Dash, Sunset and more stopped them. Knowing that it was true for some time. Twilight speaks up, "HEY! I didn't baby him that bad."
Everyone gives her some looks. Before she looks away. Everyone knows she still babies him sometimes. Spike has expressed his dislike of it. These things had all happened before and well Spike knew it was time to move on. Spike stands up and hugs his sister. Before signaling to Pinkie asking if he could begin to open the huge gift. Pinkie gives a thumbs up.
Spike begins slowly opening the gift and as he takes down about 20 layers which takes 30 mins of opening. Which everyone gives Pinkie a look for. She just shrugs them off and sees that the gift is unwrapped enough that you can see the glow coming from the gift. Spike then realizes what it is. Goes speed demon mode in a metaphorical since and rips up the wrapping to nothing until you can see what is within. What everyone sees within the gift is a shining stone in the shape of Spike and his size. This is the power up stone for spike. Everyone gets a power-up stone that allows them to increase a special area of their talents they have gained throughout their life which is normally given on once 18th birthday, but many exceptions have been made throughout the history ever sense the change that made everyone had special types that gave them powers. Spike looks at everyone making sure he wasn't seeing things. Everyone just smiles at him.
Spike quickly takes the statue of stone by the hand and speaks, "I am Spike with the Dragon-blood type with sub-type Magic-FLAME!"
Spike vanishes from everyone for a sec before returning. Although for everyone it was a sec. Spike was planning his upgrade in another world. He looks through the choices which we will see, but Spike won't say what he got for he plans to surprise everyone with it. Choices: Flame damage = increase the damage your damage flame attack can do. Flame arts = makes it so Spike gains multiple new spells, he can use within his flames. Final furry = can use a powered-up raged dragon form. unknown = a coin flip mystery upgrade that is twice as good or twice as bad.
Plus, other things he increased in terms of what he can do. Once he got back, his body looked normal, well normal for a dragon-blood. He had his wings and scales on his body. So, everything accounted for. Then Spike looked at the gang, it was clear in his expression. He wanted answers now about what was going on before the party started.
"Well then Spike why didn't you just say it. Oh right, proper writing format. My mistake. I am Discord the being of chaos and disharmony for a reason dear viewer." *winks* at the readers as the story continues and he begins explaining to Spike who was confused on who he was talking to for a sec but put the pieces together. "Now have you heard of the multi-verse theory. To give a quick explanation. It's real and evil versions of each of us and hundreds of our friends are invading our world for some reason. Plus, I think we have fought five different evil Sunsets at this point along with 2 evil Discords, 5 armies of apple and orange families. Don't get me started on that fight. Chaos copies of Twilight, Rarity and Sweetie Bell. Elements of perverts, elements of greed, seven deadly sin copies of you, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity. You were greed and one of the hardest to take down. A transformed Shining Armor of a changer type. Evil Celestia, plus so many more evil versions or worlds that I don't want to go down the list of that we have or know are going to come after us. Oh, and be on the lookout for an evil Pinkie Pie. That we called Cupcake Pinkie. Celestia has said to kill on sight that Pinkie Pie. You don't want to know; you don't want to read about her and be ready to fight well yourself sometimes."
Spike looks like he has been hit by a truck. Well, it feels like it at least for him. All the others understand this is going to take some time to get through his head. They are going to be fighting evil different world versions/copies of himself and his friends. Some seemed to be marked as to be killed on sight! That is well. Worrisome in so many ways. Spikes minds are running through all the info and now start over thinking and start to mumble everything that could go terribly wrong. What if He can't tell the difference between one of his friends and an evil version from a different world. What if he can't protect those he loves, and they get hurt because he is too slow or too weak? What if he lets his emotions and/or logical thinking brain fight over what to do for so long that he looks frozen as a statue and fails to help? What if-.
"SPIKE!" Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight, Ember, Sunset and Thorax yell out to Spike getting him out of his rambling mind.
Once spike had calmed down and cleared his head. He talked to the others. So, the plan was to prepare him in training with Shining Armor and everyone else on Fridays in his class. For now, Celestia had told everyone to relax for they had all dealt with a great amount of stress as of late and that Celestia, Luna and some of their allies would look over the world and watch out for invaders. So, with that the party really started. Everyone was talking. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo were making friendly bets on who would start dating. Babs Seed, Gabby, Pipsqueak and Featherweight were planning some activities to do during the weekend. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Ember, Glida, Grable and Smolder were doing some small friendly iron pony challenges. Wallflower Blush, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, Discord, Thorax and Big Mac are planning a game night for the weekend which Spike is invited to. Twilight, Sunburst, Flash Sentry, Rarity, Cadance and Shining Armor are planning an outdoor learning experience for themselves where they could tell some scary stories together during the night's end.
Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Zephyr Breeze, Gallus, Silverstream, Smolder, Yona, Sandbar and Ocellus are planning an animal tea party with some side activities for Gallus and Sandbar to do. Coco Pommel, Quibble Pants, Coloratura, Soarin, and Tree Hugger are planning to do a reading group meet up and talk about their fav books and activities to do sense these guys out of the group don't know each other that well and decided they want to get to know one another better. Sonata Dusk, Skystar, Blueblood, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Cheese Sandwich, Autumn Blaze and Pharynx are all talking about some of their wacky stories and adventures they have had before and after meeting and becoming a part of this huge group of friends. Spike was just hopping around catching up with everyone. Sense he was busy during the Summer Break, he didn't really have time to hang out with them.
What was he doing over the Summer you ask? He decided to take some special fencing classes sense he wanted something to do other than his job and play around. The unexpected stress and hard training he got from it left him a bit unable to join in outdoor group activities. When they had game nights, roleplaying action, and some other things that he could find ways around his tired body. He was able to have fun like everyone else with the group.
Spike then hears Sonata Dusk calling to him, "Spike! do you hear that!"
"Hear what?!" Spike calls out back.
Sonata Dusks five feet from Spike and points to his pocket, "That, something in your pocket. It's making some type of painful noise to my ears can you please make it stop?"
Spike looked worried at Sonata. Sirens have some special ears that lets them hear sounds that no others can. An example would be able to hear the mind controlling waves of the Sirens voice which allows the Siren to know who another Siren is and to be able to adjust and change the way the sound plays in the heads of others to make it work on making the person do what the Siren wants. The fact that something he has is causing pain in her ears and she can't stop it. Well, it is strange that a sound can cause a Siren pain alone. Everyone sees this and gathers around. Spike takes out everything he can expect from his pockets and Sonata makes it clear that none of them are the cause.
"Well Spike what dang else could you have in your pockets!?" Apple Bloom cries out.
Spike takes out the last time which was the mirror like stone, "Look there is no way this-"
"THAT'S WHATS CAUSING IT AND IT'S WORSE NOW! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!" Sonata likes out a whale like cry of pain.
Spike quicky acts. He doesn't like to see his friends in pain. Pinkie Pie for some reason tries to stop him as he drops the stone to the ground and smashes it under his foot. Pinkie Pie grabs onto him as they both vanish, and the stone is broken. Everyone is shocked as Sonata looks up on her face no longer in physical pain, but emotional.
As everyone looks around trying to find any clues to what just happened Discord speaks up, "Enough! They are not dead. I can sense they are alive. But not in our world anymore."
"Then can you bring them back!? What was that stone!? Who gave it to Spike!? Why did it cause pain to Sonata!?" Twilight seems to lose it a bit as she cries out these questions in Discords face. Discord was about to respond before a voice from outside spoke, "No, even Discord won't be able to. That was a mirror stone. Connected to the myth of mirror pond. Which takes those who do cause a surge of kinetic energy to be teleported to the mirror pond's realm. Which none have returned from ever. The reason it caused Sonata pain was mirror stones were often used to banish Sirens. So, Sirens even before hand by genetics learn to detect when a mirror stone was around by the pain it would cause their ears. Before Starswirl the bearded banned them for he found out the painful ends that all who enter the realm meet. Saying that is no justice, that is cruelty. Ever daring to explain what he saw within his vision of those trapped inside. " Maud pie explained with a tear coming down her face.
The rest of the Pie family had returned as well. Each tried to hide their tears. Limestone breaking the most. As everyone sees a poof of smoke come from the stone making an outline of laughing dragon. Everyone heard the laughs of this dragon and it familiar yet evil and cruel.
Discord growls, "Of course it was him of all the evil psychos I know from the multi-verse."
Then the smoke keeps laughing as it goes up and away as Pinkie Pie and Spike were gone. Into the unknown of the Mirror Pond.
Spike after what felt like hours of being out cold. Awakes when a groan. He stands up from the ground from which he lays or what he hopes was ground. For it look like a blank nothingness below is. Spike looks around to find Pinkie Pie only a few feet away. Staring at the ground. Her hair was deflated like a Balloon. One Spike knows that she likes to have that hair style sometimes, but this was clearly not one of those times. Plus, she needs someone else to straighten out her hair.
Spike goes ever to Pinkie. Spike puts a hand a her shoulder, “Hey Pinkie, you alright?”
“Oh Spike, you’re awake. Of course I am ok! Why wouldn’t I be you silly!” Pinkie lets out her usual smile and her hair went back to being poofy. Spike can see through the lie although.
Spike then speaks, “Well then I guess we can just call for discord to get us out of this place? Maybe get back in time for cake and the surprise I had planned for you as thanks.”
“What… you had something for me!? But it’s not even my birthday or any special occasion for me coming up! It’s your special day that I ruin! Oh…” Pinkie as she start to have a mental breakdown. Realized what Spike was doing.
Spike just sits in front of Pinkie. He was hoping that would get her out of her funk. It seems like whatever she is feeling is well. Not good. Spike then speaks, “Pinkie, what’s wrong. I am sure Twilight and the others are all working together to find a way to get us out. It will be find.”
“Spike.. I don’t think even I can find anything to be happy about when we are both trapped in the mirror pond.” Pinkie explains the situation.
Spike looks at her confused, “what the mirror pond? The same mirror pond that made the army of clone pinkies?”
“The one and same. Spike that was a mirror stone you had. I should have stopped you sooner. Even discord will not be able to get us out with all his reality bending shenanigans. This is the realm of the mirror pond. None have escaped. Never.” Pinkie gives more details.
Spike knowing that when she was sure of something when she is not being over the top like when desert eater mystery. She was fairly likely be to right. Well Spike hopes he can prove her strange and randomized knowledge wrong.
Spike stands up and looks around is the strangely reflective light mirror void? Wait oh was this place reflecting light if there is not light here? This could be just brushed off as magic, but as Twilight has said before that magic is just science we don’t understand yet. She although she uses magic. Knows that it’s something to do within her mind interacting with the special atoms in her horn.
Spike then asks, "Pinkie the mirror pond is connected to the mirror realm. Which means that this place is somehow gaining light from where the pond is. Although the way in is sealed off. Or is it? Has everyone checked if the mirror pond is still sealed by that used bolder in the last while Pinkie?"
"Well yeah, Me and my sisters would check it out weekly to make sure. We just checked it yesterday actually and the bolder is still in place. Why?" Pinkie explains.
Spike then gives her a look, "Well something must be causing these floating reflections to exist. I was thinking whoever trapped us here could have opened it. That doesn't fully add up although if what you say is true. They would one have to know when you are checking the mirror and would have to be smart about making sure you don't detect them. So they would have to understand your Pinkie sense and the powers of the others in such a way they can avoid any of us finding out."
"Or they just went and payed for a mirror stone off my parents." Pinkie states.
Spike turns to her dumb founded. Why did she not say that before hand... Spike signs before speaking, "Why would your family be selling them."
"Because only dragons fire breath can make the power of the mirror stones turn on. So the suspect has to be a dragon or a friend with a dragon. Plus the family was told never to tell someone outside the family. The fact that someone figured this out is a worry all on it's own." Pinkie pie explains it with puppets of her and family.
Spike signs. Of course that's what is happening. This type of problem sounds like a Tuesday for Spike with happens with Twilight. "Ok, so that doesn't make the list that small... Although I think their is something causing the reflections with light of some type. Which if we find the source. We could find a way out."
"Well I don't think the other Pinkies will be making that any easier Spike..ehehee." Pinkie said from behind Spike.
Spike filled with dread turns around. Hoping it was some prank of hers. When he fully turned around. He saw what he feared she meant by that. All the Pinkie Pie clones from the mirror pond. Of course sense Twilight send them here. They would be here, but Spike hoped that they just faded from existence. Why did Twilight had to be right that about rules of creation and destruction. Spike then speaks, "Ah hello other Pinkies?"
Each of the many Pinkie Pies turned to Spike. Each with a mirror reflecting eyes. Looking into Spike's soul it felt like to him. The aura of magic and mood from them felt dangerous. All expect for two. The many Pinkies Then scream out, "SPIKE! THAT DRAGON KEPT HIS WORD! NOW WE CAN HAVE REVENGE AND TAKE OVER THE SURFACE AFTER YOU PARRISH!"
The many Pinkies scream out as the start running at spike, who with the real pinkie pie start running for their lives. The storm wave of Pinkies right on their tail. With two Pinkie Pie clones sitting down looking at each other. "What should we do?"
"Well, I don't know... I want to save that dragon boy Spike for some reason, but I don't know why."
