Spike The Dog
A Night With Winona
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHe was out of breath by the time they got to a clearing that looked like it was almost completely forgotten about in the farm. Though that was hard to believe since he knew Applejack loved her farm to death and wouldn't allow a part of it to go unkempt like this. For there was tall grass, tree's that look like they haven't been harvested once since they've been planted, and an old plow in the middle.
"Won't the Fruit Bats be mad that we're here then?" He asked tilting his head in slight confusion.
"Um, okay?" He said, and walked over to the plow and tried to climb it but kept failing.
They did just that, and despite him seeing the same exact stars for most of his life he couldn't help but still admire them. He kept looking for a few moments, and looked at Winona to say something but stopped. For whatever reason, his words caught in his throat as he saw the stars reflect in her eyes.
"Huh, no, no there's nothing on your face. I was just about to ask if you were ready to show me something else, I mean you did sound like you wanted to show me more than this right?" He asked, blushing a little.
"Fine, I mean you are the one whose conducting this tour. So I guess I can't really argue," he said.
"Sheesh, guilt me into staying here and then change her mind right after. That's something I guess I'm gonna have to get used to," he muttered as he managed to get off the plow and started following her.
He followed her, and this time managed to keep up with ease considering she was just walking this time. Wherever she wanted to take him, it must really not be that far or she just didn't want to lose him in the trees. Maybe a mixture of both, or maybe she just wanted to go on more of a leisurely stroll.
Though that didn't stop him from feeling a little uneasy knowing that that Apple family barely comes to this part of the farm any more. Finding that out did surprise him a little, but it didn't really bother him as much. But his uneasiness fell away every time he looked at how confident Winona was.
"Well, it's different alright. I mean I can run faster than before, but I also can't breath fire which I liked doing since I could cook with my own breath. That comes in handy sometimes, but being a dog isn't that bad. Besides how it seems my friend treat me. I mean the only one that I know hasn't treated me any differently is Twilight, maybe Fluttershy. I don't know about the others though," he answered.
"You know how Applejack and the rest of her family treated me, I mean Applejack tried but still slipped a little. I haven't really been around Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie, and the only time I've been around Fluttershy was when she gave me that check up. But that was because I am a dog and she knows how to treat animals better than the vet. But Twilight still seems to treat me like how she did before, or as much as she can considering I can't help her with her letters anymore." He answered.
"Well, Rarity still treats me about the same. I mean she always ask me to carry her bags for her, and she does normally give me a gem as payment. But all I got today was a pat on the head, which didn't bother me because a pat on the head from her is way better than any gem." He replied, going into a dreamy look.
"Yeah, usually most ponies aren't that good at what I do unless it's their cutie mark. But then they work on that talent for the rest of their lives," he said.
"Hey, I was trying to hard that day. So of course I would mess up!" He defended.
"Alright, fine I wasn't on my A game that day. But like I said I was trying to hard and that's why I had so much trouble," he muttered.
"Wow, this is so amazing," he said his eyes were widened.
"But isn't that unsanitary?" He asked going up the the pond.
"Mm, that's better than what I thought," he said after taking a sip.
"What do you mean by..." Just then he heard a splash before water come raining down onto him getting him wet. "Hey, what was that for!?"
"Um, no thanks I'm not really in the mood for swimming." He said.
"I guess I am a little hotter than usual," he muttered before slowing going into the pond.
"Hey, and yeah I remember and take that!" He said managing to splash her back.
Their splash fight went on for a little bit before they both came out of the pond exhausted, and both laid at the side of the pond. They didn't talk wanting to catch their breaths, though he felt completely worn out. It wasn't until he almost fell asleep that he realized how late it was.
He was about to get up before he felt a paw on his back, and he looked to see Winona shake her head. At first he just wanted to go back to the house, but soon his weariness took hold. He felt himself fall to the ground, and the last thing he remembered was looking at the pond sparkling, and felt a body press up against his before he fell asleep.
