The Incredible Drake: His Return

An Old Friend

A pain surged through Spike's head as he woke up. He groaned in pain as he brought up his head and it felt as if Garbomination was stepping on his head. But after the pain stopped, he saw a present on the table in front of him and Twilight wasn't around. On the present was a letter that said 'To: Spike From: Twilight'.

"Strange." Spike said to himself. He slid the note from under the ribbon, opened the letter and read it.

Dear Spike,

I know your birthday isn't for a while but I wanted to give you this. It's a Spark Industries Laptop.

You've always told me you wanted a laptop so I made one for you. I know me and the girls missed five

of your birthdays but I hope this can at least make them up. Spike, you leaving me really affected

me and the girls. Pinkie was always sad when it was your birthday and she wanted to throw you a

party, Rainbow always wanted you to see her new tricks she made for Wonderbolt tryouts,

Applejack was upset when you didn't come for the rodeos we went to, Fluttershy missed

having you hanging around, Rarity missed her special somedragon, and I've really missed

having my friend and my little brother around. You've affected us in many ways. I really hope

you read this. Because I don't want to lose you again.

Love,

Your Friend and Sister

Twilight Sparkle

Tears fell from Spike's cheeks when he was done reading the letter.

"Twilight. I'm sorry I left you guys." Spike said to himself as he cried. He then placed the note down and picked up the covered laptop. He ripped the wrapping paper off of it and loved what he saw. It was a purple laptop with a green stripe going down the middle of it. Near the top of the laptop was the 'Spark Inc.' symbol. Along with it was a case that was also a cooling pad and a wireless mouse.

"Thanks Twilight. I love it." He said to himself with a smile. He then opened it up and turned it on. He sighed happily when he saw it's screensaver. It was a picture of him and the girls when he was a kid.

"Good times. How I miss them" He said to himself happily. He then then went onto the internet and decided to find an old friend. He found his friend Lensie on a social site he was on called 'Ponybook'.

"Sweet." He said as he clicked on her profile. Spike saw she was online and decided to talk to her.

Hey Lensie.

Spike! It's been a while.

It has. You still in Manehatten?

Of course. I'm always gonna be here.

Lol. So how's life been treating you?

Good. How about you?

Fine. Just got back yesterday. After five years.

I know. I've been waiting to hear from you again ever since our time in Manehatten.

Well...how about I can see if I can come see you?

Really?

Yeah. And can I bring a few friends with me?

Sure! The more the merrier!

Great! I'll get back to you.

Alright. Ttfn Spike.

Spike then closed the site and turned off his laptop. He then got off the couch and out the Library to find his friends. He walked and walked until he saw them at Sugarcube Corner. Spike then walked over and sat down.

"Hey Spike, what's up?" Rainbow asked him.

"I want to ask you guys something." Spike replied.

'You can ask us anything Spike. You know that." Twilight said to him.

"Alright. How are you girls feeling for a trip to Manehatten?" Spike asked. The mares then gave him a strange look.

"Why in the hay would you want to go to Manehatten?" Rainbow asked in replying.

"Well how about to meet the one superhero you're a big fan of." Spike said. Then Rainbow gasped and smiled.

"You mean to meet Spider-Mare?" She asked hoping she was right.

"Yeah. Unless you don't want to go." Spike replied. Rainbow then got out of her seat and into the air.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get to the train station!" Rainbow yelled happily as she zoomed off.

"Alright. Let's get going." Twilight said as she got up. They then went to the station, got their tickets, and went onto the train to Manehatten. While on the train, Spike was talking to Lensie on his laptop.

We're on our way Lensie. I can't wait to see you again.

Same here. You'll love the surprise I've got for you.

Great. See you then Lensie.

See you Spike.

Spike then powered his laptop off and looked out the window next to his seat.

I wonder what surprise Lensie has for me. It's been a while since I saw her.

Little did he know that Lensie had a nasty surprise for him. A big and nasty surprise.
