Spike's Brother

Peering over the edge of the carriage I saw him, my baby brother! My friends saw my surprise and budded next to me, to see what I had been looking for. The dragon below scented just as I remembered him! He’s following a purple pony, dark purple mane, with a slightly dark tented, pink highlight! She has my brother’s scent on her too! They must be in contact often to have that smell so similar!

“That baby dragon down there looks like you but reversed,” Ozzy pointed out.

“Yeah, he even smells like you,” Matty added.

“I‘m going down there,” I said with a serious glare at my partners! “to meet him…”

“WHAT?” they said in unison!

It was too late for them to react I had already jumped over the edge! Hurtling towards my brother at accelerating speeds! The wind whistled off me, and it seems a few of the ponies that had been watching me saw my bizarre act, screams filled the atmosphere! Blood pulsing in my ears I was finally goin to meet my brother! The ponies were scattering below me, as pegasus trailing me attempting to catch me before my crash landing! The ground was reaching up to give me a hug! I curled into a cannonball before impact!

CRASH!!!!!

Dirt, gravel, sod ,and I think apples? I tried to open my eye, but there was earth enclosing me within it! I think I made a crater! I attempted to push away from the pull of gravity! Pushing through dirt, light floods my vision!

“It‘s alive, who is that? Is it going to hurt us? What about my apple stand?” voices around me asked.

I made it. As I got the rock off me, I saw that I had smashed through part of a apple booth, and was in the middle of the village! Ponies surrounding me, as far as I can see being half incased in earth still. I stood up knocking dirt off me, and dusting off my legs before making eye contact with the crowd around me!

“Hello there!” I said grinning, waving to the mass. “I was just passing through on business!”

“Hey what‘s wrong with yal, nearly breaking my booth?” asked and orange pony with a ten gallon hat and apples on her side for a cutie mark. Murmurs passed through the crowd as the pony spoke.

I bowed before her kneeling and taking a hoof in hand. Looking up into her big green eyes, “Miss I’m terrible sorry for the damage! I was not intending to harm anypony on my entrance.”

She blushed hard, “Ooh w-well then, it‘s nothing a little elbow grease c-couldn’t fix!” she wasn’t expecting me to be so sincere.

“I‘ll help fix any damages there are,” I said standing up, then looking around the crowd. Seeing faces in awe  to my genuine act. Letting her hoof down, I made multiple pivots casting a gaze in all directions searching for my brother! The crowd started to disperse, making my seek a little easier.

“Whatcha lookin’ for, ” she asked. “I know my way around these parts I could help ya look for what ever it is thatcha lookin‘ for.”

“Sure, my little brother,” I replied. “He‘s still a baby as far as I know, he‘s purple with a greenish belly like my body color.”

She eyeballed me, up and down a few times’ before saying, “You looking‘ for lil Spike?”

“You know him,” I exclaimed turning to her. “really is he’s around here?”

“Sure as I can be,” she smiled. “Oh, my name is AppleJack! I buck apples at the farm on the other side of the village! What‘s your‘s?”

“Pike, Prime-Ike,” I said. “In my dragon culture the Proud Class are named ’Prime’, it’s just shows social hierarchy thing. Don’t worry about me being all noble-like it was just a name earned by my father for being so loyal to the tribe I live in!”

She looked at me again with a giggle, “It sure is fun to ‘ear about other’s, ya know. ”

I chuckled, “Sure is!”

“This way,” she said leading to where she was going to find Spike. I followed, looking around at the buildings. A pink bakery off to my left hand side, fashion ‘boutique’ to my right, cottages in between the main buildings, and a tree house library in the middle of town. This village seems to be fairly busy with ponies always doing some job or another. Some trying to relax as little fillies play in the sun.

Saving these kinds of communities are what my job is all about. Thinking of which, the carriage over head is stopped with my partner’s looking down at me. They seem to be content with watching, but keep tapping their wrists to signal to hurry up. I waved back at them, they waved back. I gave the sigh to come down and walked off after AppleJack.

She lead  me to a tree house. It was a library from what I could tell. Open windows led view to books on shelves upon shelves. Too many to read and too many words to understand. She led me in through the doors into the main part of the building, and there he was!

“ ’Ey Twilight,” she called. “We gotta visitor!”

“Oh, why hello AppleJack, and you sir,” she said turning around to greet me. ”I‘m Twilight Sparkle! And this is my assistant Spike. It‘s good to meet you!” I shook her hoof, followed by Spike, who came out from behind her.

“Hi there!” He said excitedly, wagging his tail at my sight! ”Cool another dragon like me!”

“And that‘s not the only thing,” I said kneeling down to him. “I‘m your big brother!”

“Whoa, what? How come you never told me about him Twi,” he looked up to her, standing next to him!

“Heh heh,, well you see…..The princess ordered that it wasn’t to be released to the public.” she fluttered.

“That‘s not entirely important right now! What I want to do right now is meet my little brother!” I interrupted. “If you two don’t mind a moment please?”

Twilight and Apple Jack looked at one another, the Twilight said, “Sure we‘ll get a drinks ready!” They then left the room, leaving Spike and I alone to talk!

“Whoa a big brother, wow!” Spike said examining me. “I heard a big crash earlier but Twilight kept me inside, was that you?” he asked excitedly.

“Sure was,” I said trying to make it seem cooler than it was, “The wind streaking off, me screams of doubt, they never would have guessed what I’m capable of! ”

I went on with my stories of how I destroyed the diamond dogs in my last mission, and many more before that. He began to tell me about his stories with his friends here. They’re all really good friends, like me Matty and Ozzy. I went on telling him about my adventures!
