The Ski Trip

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

At Spike's place at night, the young hero was packing some warm clothes into a duffel bag, before turning to Drakon, “This should be enough, Drakon. Don't wanna be cold up in the mountains.”

“How incredible is it you and your class are going on a skiing trip?” Drakon asked.

“It is pretty awesome. I mean just a couple months ago when it was still warm we were having fun at Camp Everfree. Now we're doing this.” Spike said, before zipping up his duffel bag.

“Except this time you're going to be out in the snow. Hope you're ready for it, because once the snow starts moving down here you'll have to adapt to it. The armor may keep you warm, but be mindful of frozen ground.”

“Well, I'll worry about that when the snow moves down here to the city. Right now I'm just looking forward to some quality time with my girls on this trip.” Spike said, before changing into his sleepwear and got into bed.

“Shame Peewee won't be able to join us.” Drakon noted.

“Can't really be helped. Even though he's a fire bird, I doubt he'd enjoy staying outside in snowy weather. He'll be fine here.” Spike assured before turning in.

The next morning, Spike got up and got ready for the day. He made sure to put on his new winter clothes before grabbing his bag, “Alright, Drakon, it's time.”

“I'm all set.” Drakon answered, before Spike turned to Peewee.

“Alright, Peewee we're off. I left you plenty of food to get you through the weekend,” Peewee squawked in response, “Oh, and another thing... No wild parties.”

Peewee squawked in confusion, as Drakon looked to his partner, “Seriously?”

Spike chuckled, “I'm just messing with you. Just a little humor. Now you be good, Peewee.” Peewee squawked in response, as Spike and Drakon left the house.

The phoenix watched from the window and once Spike and Drakon were out of sight flew to another window managing to open it and squawked. Suddenly many birds from around the neighborhood gathered around and flew inside the house perching on whatever they can with Peewee in the center. He let out a loud squawk and the other birds chirped excitedly. From the outside rave music could be heard.


Spike walked his way to the school seeing the two charter buses outside the school and the students standing around all dressed up for the cold weather. Everyone had their own bags to bring with, and some brought along their own skis, ice skates, and even snowboards.

He then spotted his girls all dressed up warmly, “Morning, girls.”

“Good morning, Spike!” they greeted.

“How're you all doing today?” Spike asked.

“We're all good, thanks.” Twilight replied.

“Oh, I can't wait till we get up to the mountains!” Pinkie said excited.

“Same. I'm gonna be shredding those slopes!” Rainbow boasted.

“Careful, Rainbow, or we'll be bringing you home in a full body cast.” Applejack joked as the group laughed.

“Yuck it up.” Rainbow crossed her arms.

“Well, I'm glad we'll be staying at such a fancy chalet during this trip.” Rarity said.

“I hear that have good hot cocoa there too.” Fluttershy smiled.

“Sounds perfect.” Sunset replied.

“I so can't wait to ice skate.” Sweetie Belle told everyone.

“Yeah, I'm gonna pull off one of the moves the professionals do!” Scootaloo boasted.

“I'll believe that when I see it.” Apple Bloom replied.

“Alright everyone, on the bus single file!” Celestia instructed, as they split up into groups and got on both buses with Spike sitting next to Twilight and the rest of the girls close to him. Once every student and chaperone was on board the two buses drove off.

Spike watched fondly as they drove out of the city and on the highway that would lead them up the mountains.


As the buses got off the highway they started going further towards the mountains where they already saw the snow on the ground and falling from the sky.

“It's so pretty.” Fluttershy said marveling at the falling snow.

“Sure is.” Spike agreed, as he glanced back and forth between the falling snow and Fluttershy.

Drakon spotted this and smirk, “Whatcha looking at, Spike?”

Spike snapped out of his stupor, “I wasn't staring at anything!”

“Oh, and you weren't just staring at Fluttershy?” this got the girls attention as Fluttershy started blushing while the rest of the girls looked envious.

“Spike?” Fluttershy trembled.

“It's not what you think, I was just looking at her because we were both looking at the snow!” Spike argued while trying to keep his voice down.

“Careful, Spike. Remember, only you and the girls can see and hear me,” the spirit continued to tease, “Speak any louder and everyone else will think something's up with you.”

Spike scowled, and thought to himself, 'Cheeky dragon!' Suddenly he calmed down as Rarity reached over and put a hand to his shoulder, before she spoke to the spirit quiet enough so no one else could hear them.

“Drakon darling, it's very uncouth of you to tease Spike like that.”

“You're right. I'm sorry,” Drakon smirked, “That's your job, isn't it?”

Spike scowled, until Rarity answered with a teasing smile, “Actually yes.”

“Rarity!” Spike groaned, as the rest of the girls giggled.

“Attention, everyone!” Celestia spoke up grabbing their attention, “We're just about there. Now remember just like our trip to Camp Everfree, we expect you all to behave yourselves, and act responsibly.”

“And don't forget to make plenty of memories here!” Luna concluded as all the students cheered.

Spike and the girls smiled, as they saw them make their way down the road past all the snowy trees. Soon they could see in the distance the winter chalet where they would be staying at.

“Wow, Rarity, it really is a fancy place.” Spike said in awe.

“Naturally.” Rarity replied.

The two buses pulled up, before opening the doors letting the students and chaperones out. The students stood by, as Celestia and Luna were handing out ski passes to them all.

“These ski passes will grant you unlimited access to the resort during your stay here.” Luna explained.

“Which will also allow you free rental of skis, skates, and snowboards.” Celestia added.

“But you must keep them on you at all times.” Luna finished.

“Now let's go and get checked in and you'll be assigned your rooms.” Celestia ordered.

And so everyone followed the chaperones to the chalet where they took notice of all the winter activities from the ice skating pond all frozen, the ski lift going up and down from the mountain up top.

“It's gonna be good. I know it.” Spike said, as he walked alongside his girlfriends and Drakon floating above them.
