Hard Days Stygian

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was a bright, sunny day in Ponyville. At Sugarcube Corner, Spike was filling in for Pinkie Pie, who was called away on another Friendship Mission with her friends.

"Thank you for coming!" Spike said, as he finishes handing the costumers their orders. "Have a nice day!"

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed. Big Mac was also there on Applejack's behalf. Applejack and Pinkie Pie had agreed on selling their sweets together at Sugarcube Corner. Though without the two of them, both Spike and Big Mac were left to do the work in their absent.

The doorbell rang, as Snips and Snails walked in, "We'd like to have two hay shakes please!" Snips smiled. "Just for the Great and Powerful Trixie!"

"Coming right up," Spike replied, as he went to get their orders, when Discord appeared.

Discord boomed, as he took the boys' moneys away and looked, "Vouchers, huh?" Discord asked suspiciously. "Let's see if these babies are real," With that, Discord took out a peculiar device and used it to scan the bits in his paw.

"Um, Discord?" Spike asked. "What's that?"

"Just a nose hair trimmer," Discord answered. "What's it look like?"


Elsewhere

Speaking of which, "Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?" Cranky asked, desperately looking for his trimmer, before he screams in horror at the sight of his unkempt nose hairs.


"Enjoy your shake, boys," Discord smiled, as Spike went back to work.

Spike went over to a machine to squeeze out some shakes, only for the machine to run on empty, "Big Mac! More hay!"

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed, as he went around back to pick up a box of hay. "Ooh! Heavier than usual!" Big Mac grunted. After several struggling walks, Big Mac made it back to the machine, where he poured the content in, revealing itself to be Stygian.

"Stygian?" Spike exclaimed, as he and Discord walked over to the small stallion. "What are you doing in there?"

"I'm hiding from the girls!" Stygian explained.

"Why are you hiding from the girls?"

"They think I'm this stallion named Tomb Riddles!" Stygian answered, while holding out an magazine issue titled Dreamcolt, with the cover depicting a suave and handsome looking colt, who bears some resemblance of Stygian.

"Tomb Riddles?" Spike asked.

Suddenly, the screams of fangirls can be heard outside of Sugarcube Corner.

"Oh now you've done it!" Stygian moaned, as he dives back into the box to hide.

"Stygian, c'mon!" Spike said. "You can't hide in there forever."

"Eenope," Big Mac shook his head. "What will you eat?"

"Hay?" Stygian replied.

Shaking his head, Spike dragged Stygian out, before they were on their way, "C'mon. We'll help you sort this whole thing out."

"Eeyup," Big Mac added, as he joins the boys.

"You coming Discord?" Spike asked. "Discord?" After another moment of silence, Spike shrugged his shoulders, before he and his friends leave.

Little did he know, however, Discord's eyes and mouth appeared on a paper bag, laughing mischievously.


For the rest of the days, Spike and Big Mac tried to reason with the girls that Stygian isn't Tomb Riddles, as they thought of him to be. Unfortunately, that action backfired on the boys, as Spike and Big Mac's words fell on deaf ears, and the girls continue to chase after Stygian.

Seeing as how the girls won't listen to reasons, the boys decided to try on disguises for Stygian. Therefore, they managed to escape to the Changeling Kingdom, where they enlisted help from Thorax and Pharynx. However, even the masters of disguise did little to help, since the girls can see right through their disguises.

It also didn't help that the rest of the swarm were too afraid of the girls to even comply disguising themselves as Stygian.


Later that night

The boys were later hiding at the Castle of Friendship.

"No matter where we go! Those girls always find us!" Thorax moaned, while perching as a lamppost.

"They won't find us here, Thor," Spike replied, while he and Stygian were hiding under the couch.

"Eenope," Big Mac spoke from the chandelier.

Then, the sound of girls swooning filled the air.

"Here they come!" Thorax said in fear, as he quickly turns himself into a lamp.

"Sorry, Thor," Pharynx apologized, still maintaining his record player disguise. "It's just me, practicing my voice imitation of Nicole Rey," To prove it, Pharynx opened up his mouth, and spoke, sounding like Princess Celestia herself.

After a moment of silence, Spike came out of hiding, "I think the coast is clear," He said, opening the doors to reveal a mob of fangirls, before he quickly closed it up.

"Better lay low a little longer," Spike insisted, before he opens the doors, just ajar, to see the fangirls still screaming outside, before he quickly shuts them up. "A little longer," Suddenly, many hooves broke through the castle's walls, and windows, as they all made a grab for Spike, whom they believed to be Stygian.

"Make them stop!" Stygian pleaded, while covering his face with his hooves.

Spike in the meantime, looked as if he was about to be pulled apart, much to the boys' horror. Spike quickly breathed a series of short and long puffs of flames.

"Morse codes!" Pharynx deduced.

"He wants us to barricade the doors!" Thorax confirmed.

"Eeyup!"

With that, Pharynx quickly pulled Spike free from the grabby fangirls, while the rest of the guys hammered a series of wooden planks to the doors, windows, and wherever the mares' hooves are breaking through.

After awhile of hammering, "Guys? Where did those woods come from?" Spike asked.

"The library," Thorax replied, before he realized what he did. He and the boys turned around to see a huge hole, where a bookshelf used to be.

"Oh boy," Spike moaned, as the mares all appeared through the hole.

"Hi Stygian!" the mares greeted lovingly.

"AAAAAAAAHHH!!!" the boys screamed, as they were backed up against a wall.

"I'm sorry, Stygian!" Thorax apologized. "I didn't sign up for this!"

"Nope!" Pharynx added.

"Run away!" Big Mac said, as both him, Pharynx, and Thorax cut their escape through the floor.

"Hi Stygian," one of the girls greeted lovingly.

"Hi Stygian," another greeted him lovingly.

Spike looked, before he and Stygian spotted their next escape attempt, "Quick, Stygian!" Spike insisted. "The chandelier!"

With that, Spike and the small unicorn wizard all made a run, and climb for it, until finally they were safe from the lovestruck mares. Well, with the exceptions of the pegasi.


Meanwhile, outside the Castle of Friendship was Discord, Snips, and Snails. Discord was lounging on an easy couch, as he enjoys himself some chocolate milk, with Snips and Snails, fanning besides him.

"Well fellas," Discord said in amusement. "I know funny and that's that!" Discord laughed, as he continues, "And all I had to do was rat out Stygian!"

From their hiding spot, Big Mac, Thorax, and Pharynx have heard the whole thing.

"Let's go catch a rat!" Pharynx said to the boys.

"Eeyup!" Big Mac agreed.


Back with Spike and Stygian

Stygian was holding Spike close, as he shakes in fear, "I'm afraid this is the end, Spike!" Stygian quivered. "It's been nice knowing you, my dragon friend."

"Same here, Stygian," Spike replied, before his stomach growled.

"You're hungry at a time like this?" Stygian asked incredulously.

"I can't help it," Spike replied. "I eat when I'm nervous," Looking around, Spike spotted a nearby gem, hanging from the ceiling. "If only I can just get that gem, then my end would be a lot sweeter."

"I'll get it!" a pegasus mare said, as she got the gem and gave it to Spike. "Here you go."

"Thanks," Spike replied, as he took the gem and ate it. Looking at Stygian, Spike asked, "Need anything else?"

"Um, maybe some apple pie would be nice," Stygian answered.

"Allow me," a familiar voice spoke, to which Fizzlepop Berrytwist appeared, and gave Stygian his requested desert.

"Oh, thanks," Stygian replied with a smile.

"You're welcome," Tempest Shadow smiled.

"Huh, I guess this isn't so bad," Stygian smiled.

"I think you're right, Stygian," Spike agreed.

"I should accept my fate!"

"Go for it!"

"Okay girls," Stygian called out. "Here I come!" With that, Stygian makes a leap of faith, towards the outstretched hooves of his adoring fangirls.

Suddenly, a magazine slipped from under the door, to which the mares all dropped Stygian, as they went over to pick it up.

"Hey! It's the latest edition of Dreamcolt!" one of the mares exclaimed, before they all once again, broke into fangirl cheers, and exited the castle.

"What just happened?" Stygian asked, dusting himself.

"I have no idea," Spike replied, after he climbs down from the chandelier.

The two boys soon walked out of the Friendship Castle, where they meet Thorax, Pharynx, and Big Mac.

"Big Mac! Thor! Phar!" Spike smiled. "You guys sent that Dreamcolt magazine!"

"Eeyup."

"It's amazing with what you can do with scissors, glue, and a picture of Discord," Thorax said, as he reveals the magazine they've changed, with Discord's head over a buffed stallion's face.

Just then, a loud scream was heard, to which the boys turned their attention to see Discord, getting his just deserts.

"Wow," Spike frowned with worry. "Poor guy," Pharynx whistled in astonishment.

"I'd hate to be that guy right about now," Stygian moaned.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"What have we done?" Thorax asked rhetorically.

"Hey guys!" Snips and Snails came over. "You want dinner? We're buying."

The boys all exchanged agreements, as they left together with their friends, while Discord continues to scream in pure horror, while the mares were all crying out loud for him.

Just then, Twilight arrived back at the castle, with her friends.

"What happened here?!" Twilight exclaimed. "WHO DISMANTLED MY BOOKSHELF?!"
