Spike's quest for the present

by Caleb Crow

Alternate ending

Previous Chapter

He quickly ran to the Carousal Boutique, where there were faint shouts and noises. Too drunk in his own success, he had not heard the noise until he reached the door, when he thought he heard Opal yowling. He pushed that thought aside and pushed opened the door. To his horror, he saw total chaos.

It was a scene Discord himself would have been proud to make. There was broken shards of glass on the floor, Opal was cleaning herself because she was covered in punch. Everypony else was throwing slices of cake around.

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!

Everypony froze as they stared at Spike, who was amazed at his own voice. He ignored the stares and trotted over to Rarity, who had a candle sticking to her left flank, and a cake smear on her right hoof, with her mane in a mess.

"Here you go, Rarity." Spike said as he passed the present to her. She opened it with her magic and her blue aura took out the silk. Everyone gasped.

"It's the silk!"

"How did he get it?"

"That thing is worth 2000 bits!!!"

"Spike, this is very generous of you." Rarity began. "But I have plenty of these. I get an endless supply from Canterlot, Sapphire Shores." With that comment, she opens a cupboard, revealing rolls and rolls of spider silk. "Plus, my friend, Arachnapony, also supplies me with his portion of silk when he was bitten by a radioactive Arachne."

"Yep." Spike whipped around, and stared at a brown pony... with eight hooves, eight eyes, and a large spider abdomen. Right before his eyes, he threaded together a piece of cloth similar to the one Spike has, except that it was cleaner and smoother.

Spike stares at her.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
