A Vacation in Hell

Spike and Rarity were walking through an ice cream filled wonderland. Rarity turned to Spike and batted her enormous eyelashes at him.

"Oh, Spike. Your imagination is so...sweet...almost as sweet as that lovely draconic tounge of yours." cooed Rarity. The lovely unicorn pursed her lips, clearly about to make out with him. Spike's eyes glimmered and he pulled Rarity closer to him. They grew closer, closer, lips just about touch...

"SPIKE! Spike I need you, there's so much to do and so little time!" said a certain purple alicorn, shaking the baby dragon awake. Spike was swept away from his fantasies, and he was on the verge of tears.

"NOOOOOOOOOO! GODDAMNIT TWILIGHT! YOU! GODDAMN YOU TO HELL!" shouted Spike in despair. Twilight looked shocked.

"Spike! I'm surprised at you! Where did you even-you know what, we'll discuss this later! Shining Armor and Cadence are coming over and you know how Pinkie Pie gets when we have visitors! So just make sure that the house doesn't burn down, and that the library isn't reduced to rubble, do you hear me?" said Twilight. Spike saluted and dashed away to his duties. Twilight sighed. There was a knocking at the door and Twilight answered it. She was surprised to see her unicorn brother, Shining Armor and his alicorn bride, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.

"You're here early! I wasn't expecting you!" said Twilight. Shining Armor hugged Twilight and Cadence smiled.

"Well, we've decided to have our honeymoon right here in Ponyville and, well, here we are!" said Cadence.

"Hey Twily! How are you adjusting to the new wings?" asked Twilight's BBBFF. Twilight blushed and flexed her wings in return. Cadence chuckled.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it!" said the princess of love. Suddenly Spike came around the corner with a broom and that fez he seemed to like to wear at the most random times.

"Hey, what's all the commotion?" asked Spike. He gasped in surprise when he saw the newly wed couple and Cadence wrapped her wings around the dragon lovingly. Spike laughed and dropped his broom. Everypony smiled. They were all together, and it felt wonderful. Suddenly, Spike clenched his gut, and let out an enormous belch, and a magic green mist filled the room. Twilight caught a scroll with her magic and levitated it closer to her face to read it. Inside the scroll were two train tickets.

"My dear, faithful student. I have sent you two train tickets to the Crystal Empire. Please come quickly, I will explain everything apon your arrival. From, Princess Celestia." Twilight read out loud. Spike fist pumped.

"Yes! Vacation time, aw yeah!" said Spike.

"The princess must have an important assignment for me! We have to leave quickly!" said Twilight, trotting to the door.

"Now?" said Spike.

"Yes, yes, come on let's go!" said Twilight. Spike was soon scooped up in Twilight's aura and shoved out the door. Shining Armor sighed. That was his Twilight, still hard at work.

Cadence sat on the balcony staring up at the moon.

"Oh, dear Luna and Celestia. You know I wish I could stay loyal to you. But father has unspeakable power...I must obey him. You must obey him. He is our god now." Cadence murmured to the vacant sky.

"Oh, hi sweetheart! Lovely night isn't it?" said Cadence's faithful husband. Cadence shed a tear. She knew what she must do.

"Come on, sweetie, let's go to sleep." said Cadence. Shining Armor nodded and they walked down the hallway. Suddenly the pink alicorn pinned Shining Armor to the wall.

"Uh, honey? Wh-what are you doing?" said the unicorn stallion. Cadence's tears glimmered in the moonlight and rammed her sharp horn through her husband's chest. Shining's eyes rolled to the top of his head and he coughed up blood. Cadence removed her horn, which was now red with blood.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...Daddy..." Cadence crumpled to the floor and cried.

"Daddy."
