Chapter 11 - Stephen meets Pinkie Pie
by LightningStrike34

Spike's Perspective
"Twilight, Twiliiiiight. I know you're in there silly." There was a giggle from behind the door as she continued, "I made you a super wonderful amazing extra special *Inhale* Present for you and Spike. So, let me in please."

Twilight groaned before she spoke to me, "Spike, can you go get the door? I still need to finish unboxing everything else, can you do that for me?"

I nodded, "You can count on me, Twilight."

Walking over to the door I could sense what smelled like fresh pastries on my way there and when I opened the door I was pelted down to the ground as a pink pony was staring at me with her blue eyes as she spoke up, "I knew it, I just knew I wasn't crazy. *Inhale* I should throw you a Welcome to Ponyville Party! Oh this'll be so much fun!" squee

"Uhh, who to the what now?" I said confused before speaking, "Wait, what was that noise?"

The Pink Pony giggled, "Oh that, That's called the squee, New Spike."

"New Spike, what makes you say that?" I was sweating bullets before she spoke up again.

"Well, you're Spike and you're also NEW! New Spike fits well if I say so myself." She said with the biggest grin I've ever seen.

"Uhhh... Okay? Aren't you here for something?"

"Oh, right could you pleaaaase give some of these to Twilight for me?" She said holding out a bag filled with 6 chocolate cupcakes with blue and pink icing before giving it over to me, "I'd really appreciate it."

"Uh, sure! You got it Pinkie."

She made her way to the door before interjecting, "Oh, and you might wanna get that eye checked out. Bye New Spike!"

"Bye!" I said aloud waving her off.

As Pinkie headed out the door, I heard Twilight walk up behind me saying, "What was that all about?"

"I dunno," I said, "It's probably just Pinkie being Pinkie? Not that I would know." I opened up the plastic bag as I grabbed one of the cupcakes and held it out, "She told to give you some, you want one?" I asked her

Twilight giggled, "Maybe later Spike, you're probably more hungry than I am anyways. You can eat as much as you'd like."

Reminded of the fridge from earlier I spoke up, "Speaking of eating, I saw the fridge was empty after walking into the kitchen. We really need to buy some food Twi."

"Oh we don't need to worry about that for a while, I have a few bits lying around in my saddlebags thanks to mom and dad looking out for us." Twilight continued, "We'll be just fine for now, although we're going to need a way of making a living here if we're staying here in Ponyville."

"Yeah that's probably-" Was all I managed to say before going into a snorty laugh, Twilight looked at me again in confusion as she spoke.

"What's so funny, Spike?" Twilight pondered

"A town that's population is majority is ponies and they decided to call it Ponyville? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" *snort*

I was busy laughing while Miss Purple Smart sighed, "Oh come on, it's not that funny. There's plenty of other places that are named after their inhabitants, Spike. I can even list a couple of them, Griffonstone, Yakyakistan, The Dragon Lands and the aforementioned Ponyville respectively."

'So this world has griffons too? Nice!' I thought before looking back at Twilight, "So, how exactly are we going to make some money? You got any ideas?"

Twilight snickered, "Two of them actually, once we get the library set up for proper presentation I was thinking of charging a small rental fee, that sound okay?"

I hummed, "That could work in theory, but not as good in practice. Anything else?"

"Well, we could do what every library does with late books and charge them late fees, that certainly sound a lot better than what I was thinking." Twilight said sheepishly

"Yeah that works, but what if there's nopony around here to even return a book late?" 'Y'know what? I'm not even upset here.'

"Well, we could ask the Princess herself for a weekly allowance for my Friendship Studies assignment. I am her personal student afterall." Twilight said

"And how are we going to do that? Isn't she like... Really busy doing royal duties or something?" I asked

"You didn't forget about your magical fire ability as well, did you Spike? We've used it to send letters before you know."

I was confused, "Magical Fire? Is that different from regular dragon fire?"

Twilight responded, "Yes Spike, there is a difference. Now wait until I'm finished and you can send it off."

Twilight pulled out a quill from her bags as she started writing down on a parchment speaking aloud, "Dear Princess Celestia, Spike and I were thinking about our recent monetary arrangements as we thought about a way to make a fair living, one of our options was to charge a late fee for any missing books as any good library does. The second option is hoping you'll give us a weekly allowance for my own personal friendship studies with our new friends in Ponyville, I hope this doesn't come as a hinderance to you as I'll hope you'd understand. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."

Twilight stopped writing as she levitated the scroll and a ribbon over to where I was standing, "Ok Spike, just tie it up and send it off."

"Yes Ma'am!" Setting down the bag and the cupcake, I started wrapping the ribbon up around the scroll using my claws, I tied it up in a nice bow as I prepared for the next step, "Okay, now all I need to do is send it off. It should be fairly simple." Sucking in a deep breath I blew on the scroll as a trail of green fire erupts from my mouth as it engulfs the scroll sending it off to who knows where.
