Spike closed his eyes while Applejack and Twilight hung out at Sweet Apple Acres and reflected upon when he received his gifts of Chakra and the Sharingan. While it only took a second to everypony else, he had been given a choice in his own mind. A choice of three of the "Mangekyo powers". In the end, he had selected Madara's Susanoo-a ultimate technique that would protect him, Amaterasu-since it was hotter than dragon-fire...and would be a good dragon deterrent, and (while technically NOT a power of Madara) Kamui-a way of teleporting using a parallel dimension.

While the power technically was used by Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake, Madara had once stolen an eye from Obito and used Kamui. Since Obito was also dead, the Shinigami grafted his Kamui to Spike's Mangekyo Sharingan.

His peace and calm was broken when he felt something churn within his stomach and then let out a loud burp as green flames escaped his mouth and materialized into a scroll.

"Twilight. It's for you!" Spike said, picking up his gunbai coughing slightly at the terrible taste left in his mouth.

He opened the scroll and read out loud. "Hear ye, hear ye. Her Grand Royal Highness (cough), Princess Celestia of Equestria, is pleased to announce The Grand Galloping Gala to be held (cough) in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot, on the 21st day of, eh, yadda yadda yadda, cordially (cough) extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle plus one guest."

Silence spread across the area for a few moments before Applejack and Twilight shouted "THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA?!"

As Spike was still coughing, another green flame escaped him and materialized into two golden tickets. "Oh man....I wish mom would do something about the taste." He groaned.

While this was going on, Rainbow Dash had arrived and had started arguing with Applejack over who would go with Twilight. One wanted to sell her apples, the other wanted to impress the Wonderbolts.

"Twilight? Get behind me." Spike said as the Pegasus and Earth Pony turned their attention to them.

"Fire Release: Hiding in Ash and Dust Technique" Spike said, exhaling a gigantic cloud of ash in front of him. The two other mares tried moving through it, but jumped back as the ash actually burned them.

"Geez. That was sudden." Rainbow Dash said.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Twilight ended up bumping into Pinkie Pie-who just so happened to also wanted to go to the Gala and party. "Not that it is very fun...." Spike muttered, thinking back to the times he attended at his mother's side. What once was a social gathering became a way for the Elite to flaunt their status to others.

Rarity however scolded her for wanting just to party when she could go and meet the Prince Blueblood. "Unless Spike wants to go with me, of course."

Spike's eye twitched "You do realize, no offence, but your reasons to go seem....vain....I mean...meeting people due to their status as royalty?"

At this Rarity bit her lip and gave her best impression of the "puppy-dog eyes technique".

"What do you even know about me?" Spike said, tapping his foot. While he wore armor, he only wore a black pair of pants underneath it, with the clothing stopping just above his thigh.

"Umm....you're blood-adopted by Princess Celestia herself...you are the first member of the Royal Guard Special Attack Forces...and you were seen using three kinds of fire." She said, while Twilight blinked in confusion.

"Three?"

"So....you don't know my favorite food? My hobby? My worst fear?" Spike said, frowning.

"That wasn't in Canterlot Magazine." Rarity countered and Spike slapped his forehead.

"Someone in Canterlot is getting an armor-sleeved single hit....." He growled out before storming off, with Pinkie and Rarity looking in confusion.

"What's an armor-sleeved single hit?" Pinkie asked.

"It's a saying that basically means defeating somepony in a single blow." Twilight said, before she was confronted....by Fluttershy of all ponies. With that, Twilight's five friends started getting into an argument.

When Spike returned with a small basket of hay-fries he groaned at the sight. "Seriously?! It's not even been five minutes!" With that, he grabbed onto Twilight's shoulder and shouted "Kamui!"

Much to the shock and horror of the ponies around them, they were slowly sucked into a spiraling vortex, with Spike's arm being the last thing to disappear after waving at them.

"What was THAT?!" Rainbow Dash said, flying around the spot they just were.

"He said Kamui....it has to be the same technique he used against Nightmare Moon....just a different form of it!" Pinkie said.

Inside the Golden Oaks Library, a spiral vortex open up in mid-air and two figures emerged from it.

"Don't do that!" Twilight said, attempting to slap his shoulder, only for her hand to go through Spike.

"Using Kamui, I teleport something or myself into another dimension. It can be a way to teleport....or I can send sections of my body into the dimension temporarily to phase through attacks." Spike explained, as he started barricading the door.

"Thanks for the explanation!" A cheerful voice said, and they turned to see Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash in the main room of the library. Spike stood in front of Twilight and brandished his gunbai.

"Don't you know the hatred you five are breeding?" Spike asked, "If Twilight chooses one, four are left out and angry. If she leaves herself out and chooses two, there are still three angry ponies."

At this, all five of them had guilty looks on their face.

"Well shoot. We were so gun-ho on going we couldn't see how un-gun-ho we were makin' ya." Applejack said, lowering her hat from her head.

All five of them bowed their heads and said "We're sorry Twilight."

"And that's why I've made my decision." Twilight said as Spike pulled out a quill and parchment from a compartment in his armor and started writing what Twilight said.

Dear Princess Celestia,
I've learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings, but when there's not enough blessings to go around, having more than your friends can make you feel pretty awful. So, though I appreciate the invitation, I will be returning both tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala.

"What?!" All the ponies said.

"I can't go if my friends can't either." Twilight said, a smile on her face.

Spike, out of nowhere, let out a belch of green flames. "Seriously?! Mom, I KNOW this is how you send letters, but could you do something to NOT make me burp everytime....or at least about that terrible taste!" With that, he started reading what his mom wrote out loud.

"My faithful student Twilight,
Why didn't you just say so in the first place?"

And he held up seven tickets.

"Wow. She remembered one for me the first time to." Spike said, after handing out the tickets and staring at his own.

As her friends headed back to their homes with their Grand Galloping Gala tickets, Twilight couldn't help but look back at Spike.

"His worst fear....." Twilight whispered to herself, "...Madara...."

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Things just seemed to keep getting more and more hectic. Applejack, while she had proven herself to be dependable, was seemingly tired constantly. It got to the point where she started falling asleep after stopping a stampede.

"Girls...does Applejack seem a little tired to you?" Spike asked, writing something down in the journal he was writing about Chakra.

Seeing an opportunity, Applejack quietly slunk off toward Sweet Apple Acres, however she was so out of it that she didn't notice her friends following her.

Once back on the farm, Applejack literally fell asleep standing up.

"Applejack! What's going on?" Twilight shouted, making Applejack jump up and turn to face them.

"It's apple-buck season. A time where we Apples harvest our crops. And before you ask, My brother broke his leg and my relatives were only around for a family reunion. They have crops of their own." Applejack said, turning towards the trees. "And if you excuse me, I only have a few acres to go. I an do this....alone!"

"But, you obviously need help!" Rarity said, gazing at the many trees full of apples.

"It's MY job, and Ah'm gonna do it!" Applejack said, not gazing at them.

"Um....Applejack?" Twilight said, making the now irritable Earth Pony turn to her friends.

"You only completed a quarter of the harvesting." Spike said, a hand on her shoulder while he push just enough Chakra into her to make her slightly more alert-just enough to take in the relatively few trees.

"Shucks...." Applejack said, her ears folding down, "maybe ah'm bein' a bit stubborn....I guess..." At this she swallowed. "Ah need help."

"Leave it to me." Spike said, his hands clapped together with both index and middle fingers extended. "Shadow Clone Technique!"

With that, about five other Spikes appeared in puffs of smoke, and all six mares had a massive blush spread across their face-Pinkie Pie literally had steam coming out of her ears.

"Seriously!" Spike groaned out, "A technique for scouting and battle and the first thing the mares think of is something perverted!"

Once all the trees were devoid of apples hours later, Twilight wrote a note to Princess Celestia.

Dear Princess Celestia,

My friend Applejack is the best friend a pony could ever have, and she's always there to help any pony. The only trouble is, when she needs help, she finds it hard to accept it, so while friendship is about giving of ourselves to friends, it's also about accepting what our friends have to offer.

Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

A week later, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash started a Ponyville-wide pranking spree. However, there was one victim they could not successfully pull a prank on (besides Fluttershy-who was exempt due to being so sensitive). Spike.

Anytime they made an attempt, Spike would teleport away or phase through it using Kamui, or reflect it back on the pranksters using Gunbai Fanned Wind. Unbeknownst to them, Spike's sensor abilities always alerted him when they were near, and with the pranking spree it wasn't hard to know he was about to be pranked.

They had even gotten Rarity using some sneezing powder on her fabrics. much to her chagrin. She had begged Spike to teach her how to avoid pranks.

"Unless you are a sensor, like me, it'd be impossible to learn how to avoid pranks." Spike said, letting a bolt of lightning phase through him. However, the sight of lightning going through Spike made her faint. However, Spike's naturally improved eyesight (even without the Sharingan) noticed something flying towards them in the distance.

"Do any of you know a Griffon?" Spike asked, and Rainbow Dash's eyes widened and she shouted "GILDA!"

"What's a Griffon?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"They are half-lion, half-eagle." Spike said, remembering some Griffon dignitaries that visited his mom.

"And all awesome!" A tomboyish voice called out as the Griffon landed, revealing she was wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. "Sup."

"Yeah. Gilda's my best friend from my day at Junior speedster flight camp." Rainbow Dash said and Gilda groaned.

"Don't remind me...That motto was so lame." Gilda said and Spike smirked at the interaction, before glancing back at the still-unconscious Rarity and throwing her over a shoulder and carrying her to her room and setting her down before heading back outside, just in time to see Gilda and Rainbow Dash fly off-with Pinkie Pie following them.

"Hmm...." Spike said, Sharingan activating before he leaped to the rooftops and jumped from roof-to-roof.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Don't you know how to take get lost for an answer? Dash doesn't need to hang with a dweeb like you now that I'm around. You're dorkin' up the skies Stinkie Pie, so make like a bee and BUZZ OFF." Gilda said, before popping the ballons Pinkie was using to fly while they were hundreds of hooves off the ground.

As Pinkie was falling, a purple and gold blur suddenly leaped up and caught her before landing safely. Spike landed next to Twilight-who he had brought with him.

"Gilda the Griffon!" Spike shouted out, making both Gilda and Rainbow Dash turn to him. "You just nearly killed a citizen of Equestria! Technically I could arrest you!"

"Wait...WHAT?!" Rainbow Dash screamed, "That's not right...is it?"

"She'd land." Gilda grumbled under her breath.

"This......this isn't how I though y old friends would treat my new friends...." Rainbow Dash said suddenly sounding unsure of yourself.

"Now....will you land so we can resolve this issue peacefully, or do I have to make you dance?" Spike said, his Sharingan morphing to the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Whatever. I'd like to see you try, pink-eye." Gilda said, crossing her arms.

"Amaterasu!" Spike called, and his left Mangekyo started spinning. Before any of them could react, black flames erupted on the mountain close to Gilda.

"Last warning. I won't miss again." Spike said, hopping up to the top of a tree and glaring at her. Gilda's eyes darted nervously between Spike and the black flames.

"W-Whatever...I....I don't need to hang out with you losers....I'm leaving" Gilda said, before flying off.

"Wow...I had no idea." Rainbow Dash said, staring at where she once was.

"Hold on. I've got to write an incident report for mom....Gilda won't escape justice in Griffon lands. You'll have to write your own report Twilight....sorry. Spike said, writing something down.

With that, Twilight started to narrate as she wrote.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned that it's hard to accept when somepony you like wants to spend time with sompony who's not so nice. Though it's impossible to control who your friends hang out with, it is possible to control your own behavior. Just continue to be a good friend. In the end, the difference between a false friend and one who's true will surely come to light.

Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle

After Spike sent off the letter and incident report, he glared at the flames of Amaterasu as he blinked and they extinguished. Afterwards, he closed his eyes and when he opened them, the Sharingan had been deactivated.

"That tears it....starting tomorrow....I will be teaching you six mares...." Spike said, walking down the side of the tree to the ground.

"Teaching us...what?" Twilight asked, excitement about learning something new evident in her voice.

"How to....dance...the art of battle....and...just maybe..." Spike said, turning to face Canterlot Castle, "The art of weaponry..."
