1 After that day

It was just two days after Spike and the pony gang went to the comic book world of the Power Ponies. Spike remembered that day, he learned that even though his friends don't need his help sometimes, it will never mean that he's not helpful. He felt special and thankful for his best friends.
It was just an ordinary day at the Golden Oak Library, the birds were singing, the fillies were playing, it was just perfect. Inside the library was an alicorn and a baby dragon. Twilight was reading a Star Swirl a Bearded book, and was absorbed in it. Spike on the other hoof, was reading his favorite comic book of course. While looking at his comic book, Spike looked at Hum Drum, and read.

"Hum Drum! Where are you? We need you to crawl into the Mane-iac's lair so we can get in." Said The Masked Matter-Horn.

Hum Drum looked confused,"Well, couldn't you guys just blast the door open?"

The Masked Matter-Horn made a long sigh."Well if we did that, it wouldn't be much of a stealthy mission."

Hum Drum understood his mission, and crawled through the pipes to open the door. He saw some of the Mane-iac's henchponies and tried to sneak on through. When he saw the door, two henchponies stood in front of it. He had to find a way to get the Power Ponies inside without the ponies seeing him. I need to find a way.... but what? The little pony looked everywhere,he tried to find something that can lure the henchponies away from the door. His stomach growled really loud. Shhhhh! stomach, I know that you're hungry, but we have to eat later, right now I.... Hum Drum heard the two stallions chattering.

One stallion opened his eyes wide and perked up his ear. "Dude, did you hear that? Was that you?"

The other stallion shook his head, "Nope, but it's coming from the factory. Lets go! Call the others."

The stallions ran to the factory and called in some back up just in case. Hum Drum chuckled.Well that was easier than I thought. You are totally getting double hay fries stomach. Hum Drum climbed down and went to the door to open it for the ponies.

Zap tapped her hoof on the floor,"Urgh. when is he coming? He's taking forever! You know what I would've done, I wouldn't wait here all day!"

The Masked Matter-Horn leaned in close, "Well, it's a better idea than barging in and getting caught by the Mane-iac's spray."

Zap huffed. "Fine."

They heard some running and muffling noises from behind the door. They thought that Hum Drum got caught, so The Masked Matter-Horn burst the door open. While that was happening, Hum Drum got squished by the door.

"Ow..." Hum Drum mumbled.

The henchponies heard the door burst open.

Mistress Mare-velous stomped her hoof on the ground."Time to power pony up!"

Hum Drum pushed the door from his back. "You guys weren't supposed to come in! I was going to open it for you!"

All of the Power Ponies looked confused, especially The Masked Matter-Horn."Wait, so you weren't captured by the Mane-iac and her weird stylests?"

One stallion through his hooves up,"That's not very nice."

A mare with a green and a crazy mane showed up from the darkness. "Mwahhahaha!"

The Power Ponies looked up, and gasped. "The Mane-iac!"

The Masked Matter-Horn pointed her hoof at the Mane-iac. "Surrender yourself Mane-iac, and we'll go easy on you. Just give us the wonderflonium."

Hum Drum smirked at the Mane-iac."Yeah Mane-iac, what are you going to use it for? Are you going to freeze the whole city? "

"Well, I was going to fix my refrigerator, but that's a much better idea, thank you Hum Drum." Said The Mane-iac.

The Power Ponies stared angrily at Hum Drum. "HUM DRUM!!!"

He covered his mouth, flushing crimson."Oops, sorry."

The Power Ponies stared at Hum Drum, with eyes like daggers boring through his soul.

Hum Drum walked back a couple of steps," I'll just stay back here and lock my mouth. He he."

Zap stomped her hoof angrily, "Don't listen to him, he's just a little colt, hehehe........"

......................................................................................................................

"Aww come on Hum Drum, seriously? That's like the seventh time you did that, but now it's giving out a great plan that the Mane-iac didn't think of!

Spike skimmed quickly through the following pages,pausing only long enough of to get the gist of the story. The villain sets off her army of stylists, yadi yada. Then she gets the machine ready, blah blah blah. Fights, hulk,destroys,freezes Mane-iac,wins,and there,getting the wonderflonium back."

..................................................................................................................................

A tall lanky stallion went to the Power Ponies table."What would you like to order?"

A wizened stallion spoke shakily through a massive walrus mustache, "We'll take some cheesepies and one hay fry burger to go please."

"Sure can do, mister. It'll be right out." Quick as a whip, the lank young stallion trotted back towards the kitchen, humming merrily.

Filly Second sighed,her eyes tracking the stallion's progress."Isn't that stallion cute or what?"

Zap made barfing noises, " ew, BARF!"

Radiance glared at Zap, " Zap, don't ruin it, everypony, ahem, or any superhero needs romance in their lives.

Saddle Rager nodded, "Yeah Zap, and Filly Second, I think he would be perfect for you.

Mistress Mare-velous chuckled, "That might be true, his mane sure does look like yours when you take off your super suit. You sure visit this store a lot, don't you Filly Second."

Filly Second blushed. "Yeah, ever since he saved my life when I was a filly, we started hanging out. That of course is when I discovered my super powers! I mean, when I saved him after he took me home. Now a few years past and now he works here!"

Zap rolled her eyes in boredom, "Hey Doctor Trottingtum, what were your plans for the Wonderflonium anyway?"

Doctor Trottingtum smiled, "Well Zappy, I was going to use it for snow cone making!"

Zap wasn't surprised.

The stallion came back with their orders in a box," There you go. Bye Pi- I mean Filly Second!"

The ponies grabbed their food and walked with the Doctor. Hum Drum was happily to get his burger, even though the one he wanted was sold out. As he opened his mouth for a big bite, a large crow swooped down from the sky, snatching it up. He shook his fists at the fast retreating bird, "Hey! I was eating that."

Hum Drum pouted at the dark sky. "Hey, would you guys do me a solid and give me a piece of that che- oh, you finished it."

He noticed that everypony already gobbled it up already.

The Masked Matter- Horn felt sorry for him. "Oh sorry Hum Drum, since the store is closed, how about we go back to my hideout and I'll cook you some of my mother's favorite dish!"

Hum Drum gulped, oh no...

.........................................................................................

Spike looked down at the last page,"Poor little guy. Well, at least that will never happen to me, I mean, my friends love me, and I will never be just a character that that brings comic relief, haha."

Author's Note

I have thrown in some little references, can you name them? Oh, and this is this my second story, the first one I didn't like, but this one might be better I think!

2 It has just Begun: Manehatten

It was a peaceful night at the Golden Oak Library, everypony was sound asleep. Everypony had sweet dreams in the house, except Spike.

Spike turned from side to side while in his sleep,"Urgh,hmph...."

................................................................................................................

Spike rubbed his eyes,"Wh-where am I?

Spike noticed a dark forest with dark and red trees everywhere. It's leaves swayed in the cold wind through Spike's scales.

Spike struggled through the big forest,"I need to get out of here, it doesn't look safe here."

Strange noises started to whisper things to the little dragon, "ssssssss! Oh Spike?"

The little dragon jumped a little, "Wh-who are you?"

Spike backed up to see beaming eyes in the forest mist. His whole body shivering with fear.

The eyes disappeared in the mist,"Oh, just a friend who wants to help you my dear."

Spike looked around at his surroundings, he tried to find an object to defend himself with, so he grabbed a stick,"Help me, help me with what?"

The ebony colors blended in the shadows and popped out behind Spike,"Help you deliver a message from everypony you knew."

Spike swiftly swiveled his stick to the shadow to cut through it's shadowy body,"What message?"

The shadow rolled it's bright eyes and combined the two pieces that Spike sliced. Dummy.

Spike dropped his stick and dragged his claws to his back. Oh yeah, they're shadows.

The big cloud of smoke leaned in close to the baby dragon, " Well, maybe not like a message, it's more like a future message."

The dragon walked away a few steps, " Okay, what is this future message then?"

The shadow lifted up his chin,"Do you feel special?"

Spike scratched his head in confusion,"How is that a future message? It's more of a question to me."

The shadow disappeared into the ground and sighed, "Well little one, do you feel special to everypony around you?"

Spike jumped happily at the thought of that question,"Well of course I feel special, why wouldn't I be?

The shadow's laughter echoed through the dark forest."Hahaha! You're really that clueless aren't you. Well my dear, it's not going to be like that for long."

Spike tried to find the shadow through the foggy mist. "What do you mean? My friends tell me that I'm special all the time, and that I'm part of their family."

The shadow squeezed the purple dragon into a deadly hug,"My poor naive boy, do you really think that THEY would ever appreciate you?"

Spike struggled to get out of the shadow's hug,"Well of course, they even said it themselves if you want proof."

The shadow freed Spike,"Forget about the past Spike, I'm talking about now. Don't you feel left out these couple of days?"

The shadow disappeared,"Think about it Spike, then you'll realize it, nopony wants you around, and i'm going to help you see that."

Spike felt something pushing him back, "What the, help!"

Spike saw the shadow's tail pulling his own tail. He immediately grabbed a small rock and through it at the shadow's tail.

The shadow felt pain through it's body since it was not in shadow mode," Urgh, dang it!"

Spike ran from the glowing eyes of the gigantic black shadows flying towards him.

The shadows flew up to the dark glistening blood moon, and used it's magic to morph itself into a gigantic shadow pony, and tried to stomp on Spike.

Spike ran as fast as he could, and tried to dodge the huge stomps of the shadow pony.

"Oh spike, don't you want to come and play?"Said The Shadow pony.

Spike tried to find a place to hide, he looked everywhere. Then he noticed something, it was blueish, but it was hard to see. Great, now there are blue shadows haunting this place!

Spike tripped on a thick root of a tree, and fell onto the dirt. He looked up to see that the shadow pony was right there in front of him.

The shadow pony Chuckled, "Nighty Night Spike, be that speck of dust that nopony cares about! hahahaha!"

The shadow pony lifted her hoof to the sky, and dashed it to where Spike was.

Spike shielded himself with his claws,"Nooooooooo!"

..............................................................................................................................................

Twilight Sparkle got out of her bed and went to Spike's bed,"Spi-."

Spike jumped out of bed,"Nooooooooo!"

Twilight immediately flew on top of Spike, "Ahhh!"

Spike looked at the figure that was floating on top of him,"Oh, sorry Twilight."

Twilight slowly flew down to Spike,"What happened Spike?"

Spike jumped out of bed,"It's nothing, just a bad dream."

Twilight threw her hoof around Spike,"Well okay,.... but you better get ready, we have to go to the train station."

Spike scratched his head,"The train station? why?"

Twilight grinned at Spike, "You don't remember? We're going with Rarity to Manehattan for Fashion Week."
.........................................................................................................................................................

Spike and Twilight arrived at the train station, there were a lot of ponies waiting there for the next train stop.

Rarity walked up to Spike,"Spike darling, would you please get my bags over there and pile them up for me please?"

Spike bowed down to Rarity,"At your service my lady."

Spike walked up to see a humongous pile of suitcases and sighed. Why can't Rarity and Twilight use their magic and take it to the wagon for once? Nah, it's not a big deal it's what friends do. Plus, there aren't even a lot of bags. Spike thought as he looked at the many bags being piled up on each other. He sighed again. Spike grabbed a handful of bags and plopped them into the cart.

Once he was finished, he grabbed the handle of the cart and dragged it to where Rarity was,"There you are Rarity, that's the last of your bags."

Rarity looked at the pile of suitcases on the cart."Actually Spike, I have one last pile of bags over there."

Spike looked at the direction of where the other bags were and jumped in astonish.

Rarity lusted her eyelashes at Spike,"Won't you be a dear."

Spike walked to the other pile of bags,"Sure, I'll be a dear."

The little dragon pulled one of the suitcases out of the pile. He dragged it to the spot and threw it. Hngh, these are so heavy. But it's okay, making Rarity happy is what I do. Spike grabbed and threw the bags one by one to the pile, listening to the girls chattering and squealing about Manehattan. He finally got to throw the last bag to the pile. He was tired, he walked to a another cart and dragged it to the pile.

After he was done, he plopped down on a comfy seat and sighed,"So, what were you girls jumping and squealing about?"

Rarity scooched next to Spike,"Well dearie, I was saying to the girls that I have seven tickets to......."

The main five screamed in excitement,"Hinny of The Hills!"

Spike jumped in excitement,"That's great Rarity!"

Rarity looked out of the window to see the beautiful blue skies with pegasi flying through the air. The buildings were huge compared to any building in Ponyville.

There was a voice coming from the speaker."We are arriving at Manehattan at the next stop, please grab your bags and get ready to get off the train."

Rarity tapped Spike on the shoulders,"Spike, would you get the bags for us please."

Spike looked at the bags,"Sure Rarity, I'll get those huge piles of many, many, heavy bags for ya."

Once they got off the train, they went down to the stairs to take a step to the beautiful city of Manehattan.

Rarity went down the steps to the sidewalk,"Come along, ponies! I found us a place to stay only a block from the train station in the very heart of this glorious metropolis!"

Spike slowly went down the rocky steps of the Manehattan stairs. Almost there Spike, almost there, take your time. Spike carefully walked with the ponies while listening to their conversation. Then he stopped, he started to hear singing from Rarity. His stomach started growling. Not now stomach, right now I have to get these bags to the apartment, right after they're done singing. Spike plopped the bags down to see where the ponies were going, then got back up to see Rarity singing next to him.

Rarity leaned in next to Spike,"If some are grouchy, pay no mind. Surprise instead with something kind."

Spike had a grouchy face and looked at Rarity. Then he saw Rarity go to the Veggie Dog Stand to bring him a veggie dog. The hungry dragon dropped her bags and looked at the yummy veggie dog hovering over his head. Rarity is the best pony ever!

Rarity gave the veggie dog to Spike and walked away," Lo and behold, you may just find. A smile is what you bring."

Spike hovered the veggie dog in the air, with his mouth open wide. While doing that, a red jay came swooping down to Spike's veggie dog and snatched it. Spike felt an empty claw and stared angrily at the bird. There goes my lunch going down the drain. Spike grabbed the bags and saw a carrier stallion, he wasn't going to last any longer. While Rarity gave the stallion some gems, he threw the bags on the cart and waved to the stallion. Now that's done, let's go sight seeing! After an hour of Rarity's song, they stopped at a dress shop. Spike sat on the steps, waiting to go to the hotel. Everypony started to look at the windows to see the dresses.

Rarity glanced at the window and sighed,"To think my dresses could soon be displayed on the most glamorous shopping thoroughfare of the most glamorous city in Equestria! Oh, it would be my dream come true!"

Spike looked at his tummy. I'm so hungry, I wish we can go to the hotel. Spike stretched his arms, he felt cracks in them, it was all soar. Everything hurts, it wouldn't kill for my friends to help carry the bags. Or for somepony to give one of her gems so I can eat. And my back still hurts from being knocked down all the way to the ground while nopony helped me when seeing me inside the Statue Of Pony Liberty. Once I got down, a colt laughed at me! Sheesh. Spike shook his head. No,no,no, come on Spike, think straight, it's Manehattan. Of course the girls wouldn't want to carry the bags, they're too excited and must have forgot or something. And of course Rarity didn't think of giving me a gem because it's how she pays here. She's the element of generosity Spike! And since there were a lot of ponies, it's the reason why I fell and why they didn't help me, I was going too fast anyway. Spike sighed and jumped back up on his feet and smiled.

Rarity happily stared at her friends, "There's nothing left for me to do but check in at the runway with my dresses by two this afternoon."

Pinkie Pie leaned in close to Rarity,"Oh, that's funny. Because that clock over there makes it seem like that's only ten minutes from now!"

Pinkie pointed her hoof at the clock tower, then it started raining, it was almost two, and Rarity panicked. "Oh, my ribbons and threads. And the runway ballroom is all the way across town! If I don't get there, I'm disqualified! Taaaaxiii!"

Spike saw the ponies run to find a cab, he was about to go, but something got him sidetracked. He sniffed the dreary smell of the rain, but he also smelled some food coming from behind the building. I smell some yummy veggie dogs! I'll just go get one. He walked over there and saw the stand, he gave the pony some bits and left off with his lunch. He had an itch that he was forgetting something but he couldn't remember.

He walked to Pinkie and leaned next to her for balance,"Whew, that was close."

The girls chatted and nodded their heads at Spike.

Spike had that itch again, he had a feeling Rarity forgot something."Anypony else got a sneaking suspicion we're forgetting something?"

The girls reacted and yelled all at once,"The dresses!"

Twilight and the other four ran to the hotel, leaving Spike in the rain.

Spike ran towards the ponies and slipped,"Hey, wait up! You forgot about me you guys!"

Spike groaned and walked over there himself in the cold and misery rain.

.....................................................................................................................................

The pony gang waved to the bellhop and hoped Rarity wasn't disqualified.

Pinkie raised her hoof," Hey, how about we do some of our to do lists! Like, we can go shopping for souvenirs! Then do the stuff with Rarity later. Oh, and we can buy Rarity souvenirs too!"

Twilight jumped in excitement,"Great idea Pinkie, lets tell Spike....wait, where is he?"

Rainbow Dash looked from side to side,"Wasn't he with us?"

Spike came running down panting and panting,"I'm.....right.......here!"

Twilight stretched her hooves around Spike,"Well Spike you're just in time, because we're going shopping!"

Spike had his mouth wide open,"Sho..pp.ing......."

Spike had a worried look on his face. Oh no...
...................................................................................................

Spike was carrying a ton of shopping bags from the girls. Why, why me? Why did they had to buy so much stuff, urgh. They didn't even buy anything for me! I'm the one working hard here!

Twilight walked happily upon the stairs,"Oh, my gosh, what a great afternoon! That was almost too much fun!"

Rainbow Dash opened the door,"Better pace yourself, 'cause the rest of the day is jam-packed!"

Applejack walked in,"First there's the salon appointment to get our manes done." Applejack flipped her mane.

Pinkie looked at the others,"Then our fancy dinner at the Far-Afield Tavern!"

Fluttershy spreaded her legs out," And after that..."

"Hinny of the Hills!" said the ponies while they jumped in the air in excitement.

While the girls giggled, Spike on the other hoof was not laughing, he was hoping for some assistance from his friends. Are they not noticing me carrying this? Urgh never mind. He plopped the bags on the bed and rubbed his eyes, he yawned, and passed out on the floor sleeping.

He heard some chattering and felt magic hovering him onto the bed. While in his sleep, he heard yelling and anger, he twisted himself back and forth.

..................................................................................................................................................................

Spike wandered through the big buildings of Manehatten, "Whoa, why am I outside? Oh well, I better get back to the hotel."

He started to notice that the ponies were really different, they were dark, no colors were shown.

He went up to one of the ponies,"Hey, do you know where I can get to a specific hotel, it's not far from.."

The shadows looked like they were moving far away, but they stood still.

Spike was confused, he looked around at his surroundings and noticed that everything was going farther away from him. Then he was in darkness, it was pitch black, he was scared. Then he felt himself sinking.

Spike looked down to see that it was sinking him down,"Ahh! No,no,no,no! There's nothing to grab on! Help!!!!"

.............................................................................................................................................

Twilight nudged him,"Spike!"

Spike opened his eyes," Huh?"

Twilight had a worried face,"Come on Spike, we're late to Rarity's show!"

Everypony ran downstairs and went out the door, they saw Suri Polomare and and her assistant at the entrance.

Suri Polomare had a smirk on her face,"If you girls are here to support your friend it's too late, she's already lost to the best designer in all of Equestria! Such a shame isn't it, she came all the way here to lose and embarrase herself in front of everypony."

Spike walked a few steps to the pony and glared at her,"Hey, just because she lost, it doesn't mean that you should gloat about it!"

Suri Polomare pushed Spike slightly to left,"Yeah, so like I was saying, too bad about your friend, bye."

Applejack's ears drooped,"Poor Rarity, she was look'in forward to this competition."

Twilight stomped her hoof on the ground,"Well, we can still stop by and support her, let's go."

Everypony ran to the entrance to where the competition was held, they plastered a big smile for their beloved friend. They opened the door to see Rarity there. Pinkie squeeded at Rarity.

Rarity was surprised."There you all are! I can't believe it, I thought you went back home!"

Spike looked at Rarity, he was happy that she was happy, but the thing that happened with Suri made him feel something inside. He went to hug the pony gang to see Rarity crying in front of them, then they all went outside.

Rarity smiled and looked at her friends,"You know, I already arranged to make it up to you this afternoon! Hope you're all available for an exclusive performance of Hinny of the Hills!"

.........................................................................................................................................................

After the performance, everypony started clapping. He was about to ask Rarity about how she had gotten the tickets but Twilight already asked.

Rarity smiled at her friend,"Remember my costume designer friend who got me the tickets? Well, I offered to make all the costumes for his next show!"

Fluttershy looked worried,"Um, here in Manehattan?"

Rarity looked sad at her shy friend,"Well, um... yes... it will keep me away from Ponyville for a while."

When Spike heard those words, his ears drooped low. What! Rarity is going away. That's not fair, Ponyville needs her there!

Then Spike heard a door open. Hey,it's that mare who was with Suri, she was so quiet the whole time.

Spike walked to the ponies to see what was going on.

Coco Pommel gave the trophy to her and looked at Rarity,"You didn't. You won."

Rarity was surprised and looked at Fluttershy and Twilight.

Coco confessed to Rarity,"Suri was hoping that if you didn't claim your prize, the judges would consider it a forfeit and first place would go to her. So she lied to make you and your friends go away, and, well, I lied too. I've worked for Suri for so long, I started to believe that it really is everypony for herself in this town. Until I saw how generous you were with your friends and how generous they were with you. It made me start believing there was something better for me out there. So, I– I quit."

" I brought you something to say thank you." After Coco said that, she pulled something from her bag, it was a little blue present.

Rarity gave the trophy to Spike,and was given a present. She smiled,"Hm. I suppose you'll need a job now that you're no longer with Suri."

Coco nodded. Rarity smiled at her,"How would you like to work for my friend making all the costumes for his next show?"

Spike glanced at Rarity. phew!

.........................................................................................

Spike took the heavy bags and left to the train, after he was done, he began to think of the shadow's questions, and what they meant. He was confused, very confused. He didn't know if he was special anymore. It's just one day Spike, this doesn't confirm that the weird shadow was right, I'm not useless, I know I'm not. Spike looked at the night sky, and closed his eyes to end his day.

Author's Note

Such a long chapter! I mean seriously, I'm tired.

I wonder who that shadow Spike was talking about? SPOILERS

Dun,Dun,Dunnnnnnnnnnnn!

3 No Respect: Twilight Time

It was morning, the least favorite kind of time that every baby dragon wakes up to. Even though it was a start of a new day, he didn't like it. Spike opened his eyes and yawned. He took a step out of his bed and felt a pain in his head. "Urgh.....my head hurts." He carefully walked downstairs to see Twilight reading a book like always.

"Oh, good morning Spike, didn't see you there. I was just enjoying this amazing book, you should read it someday." Twilight levitated the book over to Spike.

Spike looked at the hovering book in front of him,"I would love to but I'll have to do It later." Spike slowly walked towards the door.

Twilight looked at where Spike was going,"Hey, where are you going?"

Spike turned to Twilight,"Huh? Oh, I'm just going out for a walk. Why? Do you need something?"

Twilight hesitated, "Well not right now, it's not Twilight Time yet. Maybe around ten? Oh and can you make one of your tasty nachos?"

Spike sighed as he forced a smile, "Sure Twilight. Anything for you." He walked towards the door as he took the path to town.

.................................................................................................

He stumbled upon a massive crowd that surrounded a certain shop. Must be a new shop. He began to walk towards the entrance. Inside was full of magnificent toys of all sizes. The store was colorful as a rainbow on summer's day. He looked around the building as he bumped into a certain colt with a ginger-ish color and a green mane. Spike broke into his daze.

The little colt turned his head as he helped the dragon up to his feet. "Oh I'm sorry sir." The colt stumbled, "Um, welcome to Toya Toys!"

Spike looked behind the colt. A colorful pile of toys caught his eye. "Hey, are those the new toys for the shop? Cause they look awesome!"

The colt shoved the toys from the dragon's sight. "Oh, no. These are the bad versions. I'm still working on some kinks. But I'm not highly experienced at it. So I recommend going to my brother. He's everypony's favorite. I don't really matter."

"Hey, don't drag yourself down so much. I'm sure your toys will be just as great!" Spike pulled out a bit as he gave it to the little colt. "You have talent kid! Just keep on creating. That is the kind of respect you deserve. You try and you try hard!"

The colt smiled, he wiped the small tears from eyes. He then waved goodbye to the Dragon as he walked pass the exit door.

Wow, I feel really good. Great even! Spike looked up to see the Ponyville Clock Tower. The handle pointed around 9:50. Spike jumped a bit as he noticed the time. "Ooh! It's almost Twilight Time! Yikes!" As the handle struck, Spike ran towards the path home. Hoping to not disappoint Twilight with a bad timing in punctuality.

...............................................................

A tip of the Tree house branches sighted Spike's eyes as he smiled with relief. As he walked down the path, he noticed that his home look a little bit dirty. Pieces of trash laid around the house. The crusaders must have already trashed the place already. He rolled his eyes as he began to remember the last time they came. Spike sighed in satisfaction, "At least it wasn't messier than the day they tried to grow honey trees." Spike recalled that sticky day. The honey was glued everywhere around the tree house. That was the worst thing to clean up.

He then noticed an item missing on the porch. "Hey, where did my broom go?" Spike zoomed around the backyard for any indication of where his broom went. Nothing. Suddenly, a place came into his mind. "Of course, the library! Duh!"

Sweetie Belle looked discouragingly at the broom, "I doubt it, that thing ways a ton!"

Spike took a step into the house, "Hey, has anypony seen my-" His words stopped as he glanced at the broom laying in front of him. He cocked up a smile, "Oh, there it is." The baby dragon lifted the broom as he flicked it up in the air. He then whistled as he swept up the floor. As the mares muttered about their talents, Spike took the chance to sweep up around the library. While cleaning, he spied a pile of rubbish on the wooden floor. "Hey, who's gonna clean up this mess?"

Scootaloo quickly trotted towards the dragon. "This is no mess. These are the carefully arranged pieces of a unicycle I took apart; and will be putting back together." The filly glanced up at the purple alicorn, "As soon as she shows me how."

........................................................

The next day, Spike began to make one of his famous nachos for Twilight Time. "Just one more touch of salt, and we're done!" The salt shaker shook up pieces of salt into the nachos. "These are one of the best ones I've ever made! Hope they appreciate them." As the nachos cooled, he heard a few chattering noises from the outside. "The girls are here! Can't wait for them to eat my famous nachos." As he stepped into the room, he noticed that Twilight brought in more than just three fillies.

Twilight walked towards the crowed foals, "Turns out we'll need more than that."

Spike's smile fell, without a word, he sighed. Guess I'll have to make more. The baby dragon began to walk towards the kitchen once again. He went to the counter to grab his apron and chef hat as he started to make more. Many commotions began to fill up inside the tree house. Spike didn't mind it as much though. He was more focused on the fact of how many nachos will be needed to satisfy his hard working.

After the last batch of nachos were done, he placed them in a pile on the one single plate. Spike glanced up at the tall pile of nachos. "Whoa, that is a lot of nachos." He shrugged, "Oh well, hope they enjoy it anyways. It's enough for everypony at least." Spike began to hold the plate, struggling on the mass it had. Carefully, he walked towards the room while finally laying it to the ground. He happily searched for all of the little foals waiting for his food. But nopony was there. It was mostly the CMC and Twilight. He angrily lifted his fists up way up high, "Oh come on!"

After saying goodbye to the fillies, Spike slid the nachos down to the trash. "All of my hard work, gone. I'm not even appreciated for it!" He threw the bag into the bin. "Oh Spike, these nachos are so good. You worked so hard on them!" Spike mimicked. "At least something like that would've made me feel good." He sighed as he walked back inside. He stomped his way upstairs. Grabbing his night cap, and putting himself to bed.

Twilight glided straight towards her bed. She yawned," Wow, this was a exciting day. Right Spike?"

Spike pulled his blanket up to his shoulders, "Yeah yeah sure." As he said in a raspy voice.

The sleepy alicorn smiled, "That's nice Spike. Well, goodnight."

Spike closed his eyes, "Goodnight Twilight..."
