Pimp Spike's Swag the 6th Volume.

"Next is...Hilly Hooffield."

"Ooh, it's a character from one of Trahzo's favorite episodes. Isn't she that really pretty mare in the green dress?"

"Yes."

"Curly mane with pigtails?"

"Cream coat?"

"Yes."

"Tomato cutiemark?"

"Yes..." Crystal Clarity deadpanned.

"*snicker.* Sorry, I just wanted to see how long you could keep that without getting anno..." Then Lavender got a face full of flames.

"I do not play!" Then she tackled Lavender and a big fight cloud began forming.

"Dammit...begin the chapter, we'll sort all of this ou...*konk!*...ch! Once the chapter is over, also, who's the jerk that threw that block at me? You are gonna get fired after I'm through with you!"

Spike was put on a journey to the Smokey mountains to see how the Hooffields and McColts were doing after Twilight and Fluttershy visited.

"Whoa...this place looks pretty darn good, these 2 families have really made up." Spike said to himself as animals ran around, playing and eating. The animals then noticed Spike and asked if he'd like to play and have some snacks.

"Well...I am here already, I guess we can spare some ti..." Then a bag was thrown over Spike's head. "(Really?)"

The bag was then thrown off his head to show he was in some shed.

"Who's you dragon?" Asked the diminutive Big Daddy McColt.

"Yeah, you werem't trying to ruin the peace here were's yah?" Asked Ma Hooffield.

"I was sent here by Princess Twilight Sparkle to see how your families were doing, and wow has the Smokey Mountains ever looked so beautiful."

"Why thankee for checking up on us." Thanked Ma Hooffield.

"And tells the princess, we're okay." Said Big Daddy McColt.

They then opened the door and let Spike out, but before he could go...

"Wait!" Said both.

"What?"

"You can leave..."

"But? (Dammit!)"

"But...you're gonna have to romace 8 certain young gals from both our families."

"What?!" Spike gasped.

"You heard us."

"But why?"

"You see, we've been disconnected from the rest of Equestria for ages, we know nothing, but, if we managed to get our families to leave with someone from the outside..."

"then a whole new gen of you could live a good, non-isolated life with social skills?"

"Exactly!"

"*sigh*Fine, so who 1st did you have in mind?"

Big Daddy and Ma looked at each other and smiled.

Later...

"Whoa...she's very pretty." Spike said

"Yes, now go and get her kid!"

"Or we'll shoot you."

Spike then walked up to her...

"Aw-man, this is gonna suck...excuse me."

"Huh?"

"H-hi, I'm Spike, and I've never been here before, will you please show me around?."

"Well hey there Spike, I'm Hilly, Hilly Hooffield, never seen you dragons here before, get lost from your mommy or something?"

"Nope, I traveled here myself, all the way from Ponyville."

"Whoa, aint that where Princess Twilight comes from?"

"Yeah...I'm the dragon of her castle..."

"Aww...I wouldn't mind getting kidnapped by such a cutie like you."

"(That is disturbing.)"

She then began pinching his cheeks.

"Come along, I'll show yah around these parts."

"Thanks Hilly..."

Spike rode around on Hilly's back.

"Here, have some veggies, made by us Hooffields."

Spike took a chomp. "Wow, this is really good Hilly, did you make these specific vegetables?"

"Yep, I don't mean to boast but tomatoes are my specialty."

"And these are so good, now that you guys aren't fighting anymore, you guys should really go out and sell these."

"Oh stop it Spike, you're making me blush."

"(It's working.)" Thought Big Daddy and Ma.

"So, you guys ever considered leaving and seeing the world?"

"No...we can't...we're more comfy with ponies coming to us instead of us coming to them."

"Well, maybe I can take some of you with me." Spike then held out his claw.

Hilly blushed.

"Why, I'd be honered to go with you to see lands beyond the Smokey Mountains."

"Great..." Then she kissed his forehead.

"But make sure to get more with us, leaving's fine, but I don't wanna be the only one to go."

"I'll try my best."

"Get a wagon ready." Said Ma Hooffield.

"I sure hope we don't have to deal with jealousy when he's persuading the gals."

"No name for this miniarc?"

"Who cares, side story time!"

Meanwhile in Manehattan, everyone got off the train and made thier way for Xeenam's location!
