My Little Pony: Friendship is Spike: The Current Attempt

Black Background.

"I'll be there for you, that's a promise."

"There's always good in life, you just gotta find it~"

"Does a Pegasus always have to be associated with the sky?"

"Who said family is only defined by blood?"

"You're stronger than you look you know."

"Go fast, really fast."

These words that Spike spoke to six mares are ones that rewrote history... for the better obviously.

Spike wonders where all the Ponyville residents are while standing outside the Golden Oak Library. He takes a selfie and sends it to Princess Celestia. The Princess is not amused.

Pink Background and Slam Logo on Top as Theme Ends.

Fade to Black.

“Once upon a time... Two sisters Celestia and Luna... Sun and Moon... Luna mad about no nightlife... Nightmare Moon... Elements of Harmony... Banished...” Twilight reads to herself.

She then wonders where she heard about the Elements of Harmony. Spike was resting peacefully on her back, enjoying the Canterlot scenery.

"Spike~ This book I'm reading is quite interesting," she comments.

"You say that about every single book Twilight."

"But isn't it strange? This is the first book I have come across that remotely resembles something that could have happened in our vicinity!"

Spike pulls out a sign that says "Story Progression" on it, looks at the camera, then stores the sign and returns to his resting position.

"Yeah Twilight. You know, I think you should research this topic. Who knows what you'll find?"

Spike winks at the camera. Twilight went into research mode.

"You know what Spike? Let's do that!"

Spike was unceremoniously thrown on top of Twilight's back. He held on tight as Twilight took off towards their tower study room with the book in her magical grip. They passed by their friends who were on their way to one of Moon Dancer's get togethers. Spike apologized as their friends were sent tumbling from Twilight's speed.

"Sorry Twinkleshine! Sorry Lemon Drops! You know what it's like when Twilight gets in one of those modes!"

The two Unicorn friends snickered then responded with some winks.

"No problem! Good luck with the date!"

Spike turned red. He and Twilight started dating when they were younger. Twilight confessed from her heart in a field during one Hearts and Hooves Day.

"Spike, I know we're still young, but I've decided. I'm dedicating my life to you. You're younger than me and assigned to be my 'assistant'? No! Not any longer! From now on, you are my partner. You've been there for me, it's about time I do the same for you."

And I thought I was going to have problems in the romance department because I'm a drake. (This is Spike's Color.)

The purple duo arrives at the room, Twilight suddenly stops after entering, and Spike is sent flying into the bookshelf. The book Twilight needs drops to the ground.

"Huh, how convenient~"

She finds what she wanted to look up.

"Elements of Harmony... see Mare in the Moon?"

She grabs a book on said topic.

"Mare in the Moon... old tale... Pony wanted to rule Equestria... Elements of Harmony Super Rainbow Blast... Longest Day 1000th year escape... *gasp* You know what this means Spike!"

"That our great adventure has just begun?"

"Most likely. Anyways, we need to let the Princess know about this!"

Twilight wrote a short letter: “Teacher! Disaster awaits! The Mare in the Moon is Nightmare Moon and she is going to return and bring eternal night with it! We must stop her! I await your quick response, your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.”

Spike uses his flames to send the letter. After thirty seconds of awkward silence between the couple, a response arrives via D-Mail.

“My dearest student, I understand what you are saying, but seriously relax bro, I got this,” Spike began to read the response.

“What?!”

“Anyways, for your next task, I am sending you to supervise this year's Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville. Sincerely, Princess Celestia.”

"This princess..."

Twilight noticed their place of residence for their time in Ponyville.

"Huh, we get to stay in the Golden Oak Library. Maybe this could be the vacation we need, filled with cuddles! *squee*"

"All in a day's work huh?"

The two of them packed up for their trip then boarded the train to Ponyville.

Transition to Ponyville.

Spike and Twilight disembarked at their destination train station. Pinkie Pie coincidentally trotted into the scene and caught sight of them.

Is that? It is! It really is them!

Pinkie Pie gasps, jumps up, then tries to flee. Twilight had other ideas. She caught the pony by the tail with her magic.

"Hey! No fair! This never happened in the Prime Universe!" Pinkie protested.

Twilight pulled Pinkie Pie so that their muzzles were touching. Pinkie Pie smiled nervously and started sweating.

"Sure it never happened there, we're in the Friendship is Spike Universe~ Now Pinkie Pie, our meeting has been years in the making, and here it is in Ponyville, face to face. I think that called for a party right? So how about it?"

Pinkie Pie's nervous grin turned into a genuine smile.

"You got it Twilight!"

Twilight released her magical grip and the party pony zipped off to prepare said party. Spike was confused at how Twilight already knew one of the ponies in the town already, but didn't push any questions since he remembered how strange Twilight could be.

Transition to Sweet Apple Acres.

Applejack was harvesting apples from the orchard when she caught sight of Spike and Twilight approaching.

Huh… Wait what?! That is him! And I was doubting him all this time!

"Good Afternoon, my name is Twilight Sparkle," she greeted.

"Howdy Twilight! We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure like making new friends!" Applejack tipped her stetson, wanting to make a good first impression.

"This is Spike, my partner. I am here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, you are in charge of the food correct?"

"Yep! Want to sample some?"

"Um..."

Applejack continued trying to make a good impression on Spike.

"Oh! I know! Why don't I introduce you to the Apple Family?"

Enter huge Apple Family.

Twilight went wide eyed as Applejack introduced her family.

"...Big Mac, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith! Why Twilight, I'd say you're part of the family already," Applejack finished with a huge grin.

Twilight wanted out. This was getting awkward.

"Aha... Well I see the food situation is definitely handled here with all of you so we'll be on our way."

The Apple Sisters enacted one of their plans. Applejack whispers into Apple Bloom's ear. Apple Bloom gave a wink and trots up to Twilight and puts on the puppy dog eyes of adorableness. Spike was flustered.

"Aren't you gonna stay for brunch?"

"I'm sorry, but we have a lot to do..." Twilight attempted.

The puppy dog eyes intensified and broke Twilight's resolve.

"Fine..."

The Apple Family cheered. Twilight made her way to the table of apple treats with Applejack in tow.

"So Twilight, where are you from?" Applejack asks.

"I am from Canterlot," Twilight replies while digging into an apple pie.

"Oh a city girl huh? That's mighty inter--"

Twilight had the greatest sensation of taste ever.

"Oh my goodness Applejack, these apple pies are the best!"

Applejack hid her scowl from being interrupted and put on a smile instead, "You got that right there Twilight, these are the best apples in all of Equestria!"

Twilight proceeds to devour an illogical amount of apple pies. Meanwhile, Apple Bloom talked with Spike.

"So your name is Spike right?" Apple Bloom was eager to talk to someone new her age.

Spike decided to humor her.

"Yep! Partner and drakefriend to Twilight Sparkle!" Spike replies with pride to which Apple Bloom giggles at.

Apple Bloom trots around Spike and brushes up against him making sure he gets a whiff of her sweet apple scent. She then flicks her tail at his nose causing the poor dragon to go red all over.

The two of them continued to chat all while Apple Bloom was trying similar attempts to make Spike welcome. In the end, Twilight and Spike had to leave. Apple Bloom made sure to give Spike a goodbye hug. After the purple duo left, the Apple Sisters had a small chat.

"Applejack, you're going to have to act on that promise now you know. You're going to share him with me."

"Oh... *blushes*"

Transition to Rainbow Dash segment.

"Ugh... I ate too much pie," Twilight regretted.

"Not my fault that you were so excited when you took your first bite of pie. Anyways, next is a Pegasus named Rainbow Dash who is supposed to be... cleaning... up... the clouds?" Spike answered while looking at the clearly cloud covered sky.

Rainbow Dash, napping on a cloud, woke immediately. She heard her name, so she peeked over her cloud. She was met with a familiar sight.

Huh? Wait what?! He wasn’t joking about that? I thought when he left he was was gone for good!

She flew down, landed in front of the purple duo, and started speaking.

"Did someone say my name? Was it you, awesome dragon?"

"Uhhh... Yes it was. Spike's my name."

"Say, Spike, you're awesome. I'm awesome. You see where I'm going with that?" Rainbow batted her eyes at Spike.

"No, we don't? The skies are clearly not clean for one. By the way, name's Twilight Sparkle," Twilight mocked.

"Well Twilight, I can clean this sky in ten seconds flat!"

"Really? Prove it."

Twilight should not have said that. She used her magic to conjure up a ten second countdown.

"On your mark, get set, GO!"

Rainbow Dash cleared the sky in seven seconds, avoiding a tarnished reputation. In the extra time she had, she used her "patented Rain-Blow Dry" to mess with Twilight's mane as the Unicorn was in a daze with her mouth agape at the feat she had witnessed. The timer Twilight conjured poofed out of existence.

"What did I tell you? Ten Seconds Flat. I had some extra time so I decided to leave you a little present."

Spike just snickered as Twilight looked up to see her mane in a considerably poofy state.

"Ughhh!"

"Yeah, see ya Spike and Twilight! You two sound like so much fun! Gotta Dash!"

Rainbow Dash left, leaving her trademark rainbow trail.

"She sounds fun, don't you think? Hey, don't feel so down, I think you look cute with that mane-do!"

Twilight's ears perked up.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yep. But still, I kind of prefer your everyday mane-do, it's so much more you."

"Dutifully noted."

Transition to Town Hall.

Twilight and Spike trotted/walked into the tall hall, impressed with the simplicity of the structure.

"Alright Spike, we're at the Town Hall. A Unicorn named Rarity is supposedly here doing the decorations."

"Not bad, the decorations are nice. Ah! That must be her now!"

"Right you are Spike. *ahem* Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle and--"

"Tut-tut, hold on a moment dear, I'm 'in the zone'~ And... there we go, hello there my name is Rarity and..." Rarity turned from working on decorations and saw Twilight's frazzled mane, "Wahaha! What happened to your coiffure?"

"My mane? Oh yes... Rainbow Dash..." Twilight scowled.

"Twilight, this just won't do! Let me take you back to my place, the Carousel Boutique, to fix you up and... Huh?!?!" Rarity caught a glance of Spike.

I didn't even think that was possible...

"Dragon? What's your name?" Rarity inquired.

"My name is Spike!"

Rarity went wide eyed. She snapped back to reality, put on a smile instead, and patted Spike on the head.

"Well it's a pleasure to make you an acquaintance then Spike~ But for now I think we should get Twilight a mane fixing."

Awkwardest conversation ever.

Transition to Carousel Boutique.

"So Twilight, where are you from?" Rarity asks Twilight as she is fixing up her mane-do.

"I come from Canterlot," Twilight responded, "WAH!"

Rarity was immediately in front of Twilight, eyes sparkling.

"Canterlot? *squeals* The capital? We have got to talk about there sometime! All the fashion trends start there you know!"

"Yes... I have noticed that Rarity."

The two Unicorns and Spike proceeded to partake in small talk about Canterlot, Rarity deciding not to press the matter of what she thought when she first saw Spike. In the end, Rarity proved to be a good acquaintance.

Transition to Fluttershy's Cottage.

"Spike, our last stop will be with Fluttershy who is supposed to be doing the music."

"Huh, a personality in a name, who'd have thought?"

"Eh, we'll see."

They trotted/walked a bit more.

"There she is now!"

Fluttershy was busy training birds to do the fanfare for Princess Celestia's arrival. At least until...

"Hi! My name is Twilight Sparkle... and sorry to frighten your birds... and... you are?"

"Um... my name is... *squeak*"

"I'm sorry I didn't quite hear that."

"My name is...*squeak*"

Poor Fluttershy couldn't get her act together. Luckily for her, she didn't need to as her birds came back.

"Well it seems your birds have come back so I guess we'll be going now."

We? She's not alone?

Fluttershy got her answer as Twilight turned around and saw someone familiar trailing her.

Huh?!?! How?! I must…!

"*GASP* Spike!" Fluttershy was immediately next to Spike.

"Whoa!" Spike blurted.

"Hi, I'm Fluttershy."

"Um Hi? How do you know my name?"

"Oh um... *squee* lucky guess?"

Spike was reasonably suspicious, but let it slide for now. He and Fluttershy chatted as Twilight trotted home.

One walk back to the Golden Oak Library later...

Fluttershy realized that she was to help Pinkie Pie with a party for the duo she was talking to, so made up an excuse.

"Oh, um... I have to go back to my animals now... okay bye!" she zipped off.

She went to a secret entrance to the Golden Oak Library that Pinkie Pie was beckoning her over to. Twilight and Spike raised their eyebrows at that weird burst, but then went into the library and closed the door.

"So Spike... that was awkward."

Twilight turns on the lights after saying that.

"Surprise!"

"Here's your party like you asked!" Pinkie chirped.

"Well... I guess we could take a break."

They partied like it was 1000 years later from Nightmare Moon's banishment.

Final Transition of the Episode.

Everyone arrived at the Town Hall to witness the sunrise, the five acquaintances and one friend all crowded around Twilight and Spike.

"Ooooo! Twilight! Are you this excited, since I sure am!" Pinkie nudged Twilight with a hoof.

Twilight gave a closed-eyed smile.

"Of course Pinkie Pie," she calmly responded.

"Fillies and Gentlecolts... magic of sunrise... longest day of the year... INTRODUCING, PRINCESS CELESTIA!"

The curtains opened and no one was there. A dark violet/blue mist rose and collected at where Celestia was supposed to be. It formed into the shape of an alicorn. Surprisingly, no one fainted or reacted. A small awkward silence ensued before the alicorn spoke up.

"Oh, my beloved subjects, it's been so long, I think hardly any of you remember me." Nightmare Moon spoke.

"Yeah, you're Nightmare Moon," Twilight nonchalantly spoke.

"Well, someone who remember's me, I'm sure you know what I am here to do."

"Yep."

"Remember this day little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night shall last FOREVER!"

The sound of crickets chirping could be heard. Twilight was bored. She was holding Spike and rolling her eyes at this cheesy situation. Spike, her five acquaintances and one friend also shared her sentiment.
