Spike's Imaginary(?) Friend

We're done telling our stories and now we're playing Monopony. Spike had to move the pieces... and roll the dice... and manage the bits. Man, being a ghost sucks, save for walking through walls. I'm sure I'm dreaming but do dreams last that long? I guess they don't, but why was I sure that this wasn't real before? maybe because I was in a daze. Uh-oh, This is real oh no...nonononononono-

"You know, It's nice to hang around someone that has claws." He said interrupting my mental-panic-attack.

"OHMYGOSHYOU'RESPIKE!!!!" I jump to my feet.

"Yeah, I think we got past that."

"WHAT ABOUT MOM AND DAD? AND RUST?"

"Who?" Spike and Owlowicious said in unison. I would've laughed if I weren't too busy panicking.

*SLAM*

"Hey, Spike. Nice to see you playing with Owlowicous." A mare I recognize as Twilight Sparkle casually trots in and heads directly to her study.

"Why didn't she see you?" Spike asks. Oh dear the Imaginary thing is real too.

"It's better that she did not anyway. Spike don't mention me ever to anypony, Ok?"

"Why?"

"They'll think you're crazy, you'll think you're crazy"

"I don't understan-"

"Just don't tell."

"Whatever you say." I can tell he's starting to get suspicious again.

It was day two in Equestria. Spike and Twilight were heading... somewhere but I decided to tag along too, simply because I wanted to get a closer look of Twilight. Hey, Don't gimme that look! I'm no creep!

"Are you alright Spike? You seem a little off today." Twilight asks.

"Huh? oh, nothing."

"Are you sure?" Dang, she's smarter than being fooled by 'nothing'.

"Positive."

"If you say so. I'm sure a sapphire cupcake will get back in the mood." So they're heading to SugerCube corner.

"Yeah..."

"Hey, lighten up. She's going to suspect something." I whisper to spike. I don't even know why am I whispering, it's not like anypony will hear.

"Ok" He replies

"What was that?" Twilight asks

"Nothing, can we go a little faster?"

"We're not moving untill you tell me what's wrong." Uh-oh.

"Lie Spike, just lie." I command. he starts to sweat bullets.

"Helloooo, Spike?" She says.

"Ok, fin. Can you see a human here?"

"Human? Whatever do you mean?"

"Can you see someone standing here?"

"No..."

"Because my friend Alex is right in front of you."

"Are you telling me you have an Imaginary friend? Who is a human? Whatever that is."

"You can say that."

"Spike, do you feel lonely?"

"What?"

"A psychology book I read said that when you have an Imaginary friend you are lonely."

"But he's real!"

"How come I can't see this human then?"

*GASP*

"A human?" Lyra Heartstrings said "Tell me all about them!"

"Alex is-"

"A symptom. I need you to come with me to the tree library, there is a book-"

"No way! I need him to tell me all about this human!" They both levitate Spike at the same time.

"I need him for my study of friendship!" Twilight says.

"I need him for my study of humans!!" Lyra shouts.

"LET. GO!!!!" They both say in unison.

The fight continued on for some time then a pink blur zoomed right through us. I immediately recognize it as Pinkie Pie.

"Where did he go?" Asked Lyra.

"PINKIE! WAIT UP!" Twilight's demands fall to deaf ears. She starts galloping like there is no tomorrow followed closely by Lyra.

"Wait up" Now my demands fall to deaf ears, quite literally.

We finally stop at SugerCube Corner. Ironic, it was our destination in the first place. Catching up with pinkie was easy since I'm a ghost. I enter before anypony else. And by 'enter' I mean 'through the wall'. I see Pinkie making a full break sending Spike flying to the counter.

"Oh, Hey, Spike. When did you get here?" Pinkie asks.

"Just now." He stands on his feet

"That was not cool." I say to Spike.

"I should've listened, although they didn't think I was crazy, this was an experience I don't want to repeat soon... or ever"

"Told ya"

"Spike, can you help me hang those banners and streamers and balloons?"

"Sure. What party is it for?"

"It's a welcome-to-Ponyville-Cloud-Burn party!" Typical Pinkie.

*SLAM*

"SPIKE!!" Guess who said that, if your answer was 'Twilight and Lyra in unison' then congrats you guessed right but won nothing.

"You're just in time for decorations!" Pinkie says and shoves some random stuff to pair. They start decorating and nothing else happens. Except for the occasional glares between Lyra and Twi.

"PARTY TILL WE DROP!!!" I shout to no one. This party sucked greatly for me mainly because I can't eat or drink anything. The only amusement I have is stalking and eavesdropping. Oh, there is a night-blue coated stallion talking to Fluttershy...And he's a blank flank despite his age. Better eavesdrop.

"Oh, um... Hi Cloud."

"Where is Angel?"

"He's at home. But if you want to see him you can visit tomorrow."

"Sure, I'd love to see the little bunny." There was a hint of disgust in his voice. "Enjoy the party" and trots away

to join his friend. Ok, next target would be-

"THUNDER!!" The same night-blue guy shouts "Carry on ponies, never mind me" Then he turns to talk with his friend.

Everypony returned to their home between 11:00 and midnight. The walk home was so boring, but we got there eventually.

"Had fun Spike?" I ask.

"Yeah, Pinkie's parties are always fun."

"Oh yeah, they'll be better if had something to eat."

"You know, I can Imagine something for you."

"Then do it!" A cupcake poofed into existence "Spike, I love you man!" I grab the cupcake and bite "Ouch! What is in this thing, rocks?"

"Gems actually."

"They are rock you know." I reply "Now imagine it out of my sight" it poofed away.

"I guess I'll just sleep without dinner, not that I feel hungry." Then I realized something... I can't even sleep! God, I hate being a ghost.

"I'm going for a walk, but first do you know what jeans is?"

Here I am, wandering the night searching for anything amusing to happen with my new clothes Spike just poofed for me. (That was a long sentence)

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" What was that?
