Muffin Button (A Day With Spike)

I left Sugarcube Corner after my shake ran empty, I bought a muffin so I could at least be polite if Spike or Rarity haven't eaten. I look around, the place is almost baren if not for the market salesmen. Now, normally I would just walk and mingle a little, but there's no one around who don't want my bits.

"Time for a view change" I grin mischievously putting the muffin into a messenger bag I got from Twilight. Then I start climbing the wall. Thanks to the fact that I know how to glide and land safely I'll have some fun with free-running. Sprinting towards the edge of the building's roof, I jump and front flip into a glide, both boosting my speed and maximum hight. I roll on to the new roof and pop back up to continue running. I repeat this process a couple of times before adding some pole jumps when I got to the town square. grabbing onto the spire jutting out of the roof of town hall I spin 76 degrees left and let my momentum push me into a glide onto the next building. Dropping then rolling back into a run, I jump off the edge of the house I was on and slid down the drainage pipe. Planting both feet on the ground I turn and left the ally. Lo' and behold there it is: Rarity's boutique and abode.

I walk up to the door, knock, then enter.

"Spike! Put the radish in the blender with the thread and then set it on fire."...nope. Nope. NOPE! I slam the door shut after dodging a spool of string and pulled Spike out of the madness I just witnessed. I then hand the drake the muffin I got for him and asked what the hell just happened.

"I don't know I-I just asked Sweetie if she needed help with what she was doing and one thing lead to another and somehow a radish got involved w--" I shoved the muffin into his mouth and I breathed in slowly hoping he got the point. thankfully he did and he took a deep breath after swallowing the bit of muffin in his mouth.

"Thanks, I needed that..." I nodded and spike explained that Sweetie wanted to make a shirt for a club thing at school... I zoned out the rest but basically, CMC luck strikes again.

"... I will never look at a radish the same way again." Spike shivered as he recalled what that vegetable did in the hands of Sweetie Belle.

"I don't blame you Spike that sounded horrible." I winced as I walked away from Rarity's clothes store and home. "But now you can hang with me as we do some guy things." I said as I picked up a long stick from the ground.

"Oh yeah, what guy things?"...I know Spike's a guy and all but being a kid dragon certainly helps being cute when tilting your head. I shake my head and put the stick into my bag of holding and pulled out a Baseball and a couple of mitts.

"How about some Catch? I know it's lame but it's better than nothing." Spike nodded and after I picked up the string we walked to the park... What? You never know when you'll need some string. The park was small but it's perfect for a quick game of Catch.

"Thanks for the game guys!" Some male ponies said as they left the park. Spike and I just watched as they left wondering how a small game of catch turned into Minor Leauge Baseball.

"That escalated WAY too quickly..." I trailed off as we sat down next to a tree and tried to calm down from the competitive game we played.

"Yeah, No kidding" Spike snorted as he caught his breath. He closed his eyes as he leaned back against the tree just enjoying the cooling breeze.

I start humming at first it's nothing but after I pulled out the stick I found and the spool of string it turned into "Come Together" by The Beatles. As I was finishing my makeshift fishing rod I found a bit of metal wire I could jury-rig into a hook...So I did. after that I shook Spike awake an asked if he'd want to go fishing. Oh, fun fact: Fishes are not sentient meaning I won't get killed by the princesses if I eat them. Spike agreed and we spent the afternoon catching dinner. I also taught spike how to clean and eat fish... yeah survival skills and all. another fun fact: pegasus ponies eat fish...but it's prepackaged because they can't cook it worth a damn. after that, we walked home shooting the shit, and we entered the library. spike went to bed and I went to the couch...
"all in all, today was a good day." I muttered as I fell asleep.
