"Come on we have to meet Spike at Rarity`s so we can make sure all get our outfits fit right." the Twins and Pinkie made their way down to the boutique. "I heard Spike saved the crystal empire by jumping off the top of the castle and Punching Sombra in the face with the Crystal Heart." Pound said "Is that true" "No," Pumpkin said "that's only half true" Pound looked at her squinting "Whi...which half? he asked, before Pumpkin could respond, Pinkie interrupted "He also saved the Crystal games from a Giant Ice cloud, and he`s the reason Thorax the King of Changelings is a good guy, which makes him indirectly responsible for our peace between us and them, and for saving me, the other elements, Discord, Trixie, and all the Alicorns plus Shining armor and Spike himself from being trap in cocoon forever. and then there was the time he, Trixie and Starlight saved Appleloosa from an Ursa Major, but yeah, that thing about him punching Sombra isn't true." "Oh..." Pound said "But he did jump off the top of the Castle in the Crystal Empire with the Crystal Heart, Princess Cadance caught him before he hit the ground." "....Awesome." was all Pound could thing to say to all this Information. Pumpkin had read it all in a small book she`d found in the Library called "The Great Spike and all that he has done" it had been a children's book, But Spike fact-checked that everything in it had indeed happened. When they got to the boutique all Pound could do was stare at Spike, too intimidated to talk to him. as they entered, Pumpkin and Pound were taken into the other room to be measured by Rarity. Spike and Pinkie sat down. "So Spike, What color suit and dress are you two gonna wear?" "Rarity said she would hook us up with a Black and Red comb set" he replied "I went for the Yellow and Blue set...I cant wait to see them in it."Pinkie said as the twins came back, the rest of the wait Spike and Pumpkin spent giggling over the idea of what the Yellow/Blue set would look like. but when Pinkie and Pound came out they laughed even harder once they saw the mistake. Pinkie was wearing a Black-topped Dress with a Red bow and a Red and Black bottom. Pound had a Black tux top, with a red undershirt and a red tie, with black pants. all his buttons where Red. "But this isn't the color I asked for them to be in" "I could have sworn this was the color you ordered." Rarity said. the trio looked over when they heard Spike and Pumpkin laughing themselves silly. "You...you mixed up our color orders!" Spike said, "I can`t wait to see my Yellow and Blue Tux!!!" "I can`t wait to see my dress" Pumpkin said, now on the floor laughing. Pinkie and Pound looked at each other. "I want to see them in it to" Pound said "Me too." Pinkie decided and took their seats as Spike and Pumpkin entered the Changing room and after a few minutes, Pinkie could hear their laughter Increase in volume. Spike came out wearing a Blue Tux with Yellow Polka-dot`s on it, along with an oversized Yellow Bow-tie, and a Yellow Undershirt that had Blue Polka-dots, his pants had Yellow stripes. Pumpkins Dress was Blue and Yellow with Vertical stripes, with the colors switching sides at the bottom, her Bow was big and Yellow with a Blue center. they both looked at each other, and after laughing they both declared "We`ll treasure these forever!" Author's Note Spike, Trixie, and Starlight saved Appleloosa from an Ursa Major.....maybe I`ll make a little side story for that at some time. also I decided to not go into details over them getting their measurements...would be long an boring anyway. An Awkward Dance"So when are we gonna ruin the party?" Pumpkin asked Spike "About 2 hours." "What!? Why that long?" "Celestia love's it when the party is ruined, and she'll be stuck greeting guests for the next 2 hours or so, so we wait until she can enjoy the mayhem." Spike said happily, there was silence for a second, "Do you know how to dance?" He asked "No." "Well neither do I, so let's go embarrass ourselves," Spike said, offering her his hand, Pumpkin's face turned red "Dance! but....I....we....what if..." "Relax, the only ponies that know you here are the element's, your brother, and me. And if we start Dancing, Pinkie's gonna dance with him." Pumpkin still looked embarrassed about the idea, but offered Spike her hoof, Spike took it and the two walked to the dance floor, Pumpkin, With Spike's help, Got on her back hooves and wrapped her front hooves around his neck, Spike held her waist "I feel silly" Pumpkin said "This is the only way we can dance together, any other way and we'd be dancing two different dances," Spike said as the two began to dance, Several ponies muttered at how odd the two looked together, but most just ignored them. After a few minutes, There dance slowed a little bit "So....Made any new friends?" "Do you count?" Pumpkin asked "I don't think so, we've been friends for a while." Spike was silent for a second "But no pressure, you'll make your own friends in time, long as you have fun with them." "And if you like them to right?" Pumpkin asked. Spike started laughing "Pumpkin, I'm about 28, you're about 12, You need friends your own age, not some dragon who's over half your age." "But I like you. you're the only friend I've ever had, I won't ditch you for newer friends." "Yeah...That's what Twilight told me." "And you're both still friend right?" "Eh...where more like family at this point, but we're not as close as we use to be. someponies....and dragons grow apart, It's just how the world is." Pumpkin was red in the face again "Well, I think that's stupid, If making new friend's mean's losing your old ones...then I don't want new friends." The two had stopped dancing. "It's all right, It's just how the world works, Listen Pumpkin, Even if you do get new friends, it doesn't mean you have to forget your old friends, it just..." Pumpkin dropped onto her front hooves and ran off "NO, I don't want to forget!" She yelled angrily. "Dah, why must I suck so much at everything!?" Spike facepalmed, and turned, meeting with Pinkie and Pound "How'd you know I was here?" Pinkie asked "I have great hearing, Could you go talk to her? I'm just making it worse." Pinkie gave a salute and left Spike with Pound. "If you hurt my sister, I'll beat you up," Pound said "I won't stop ya" Spike replied, "come on kid, I'll show ya the Garden." Pinkie found Pumpkin pretty quickly, she was sitting on one of the balconies overlooking the Garden, she was red faces and crying a little. Pinkie patted her head "So Spike told ya what might happen if you get new friends I'm guessing?" Pumpkin just nodded "Look Pumpkin, Spike...Isn't good at talking to others, most likely due to mostly talking to his friends threw letters, but He didn't mean to make it sound like you would just...forget him, as long as you still hold a special place for him in your heart, you can make new friends. You might end up liking some of them more than Spike, or less than Spike, but that doesn't mean you have to forget him." Pinkie said as the two looked down at Pound and Spike. Pound was trying to get one of the animals to come to him, Spike had a Toucan on his right shoulder. they briefly heard him speak "Hey Joey, how ya been doing?" he asked the bird, it squawked at him, they heard him call Fluttershy for translation, And Pumpkin giggled "He look's so silly with that bird on him" she sighed "I know what he meant, but I don't want to like anypony more than Spike, he's my Friend, and the only one who wasn't related to me, or a family friend to talk to me and make me their friend" She sighed "I don't..." Pinkie hushed her "It's OK, You don't have to make new friends if you don't want to, but one day you will, and when you do, I'm sure Spike will befriend them to" Pinkie smiled "Now let's get down there, Joey owe's me 5 bits." Another indoor StormPumpkin and Pinkie walked into the Garden and Saw Spike yelling angrily at the Toucan, Pound was laughing at his, Fluttershy was trying to calm him down. "...And you can shove it right up you...Oh, Hi guys" Spike said cutting off mid-insult to greet them. "You...better now Pumpkin?" "A little." Pumpkin said awkwardly. Pinkie looked up at the Toucan. "Hey, Joey! wheres my 5 bits!" she called at him, He squawked and flew away, Fluttershy gasp "Such Language!" She gasped. as she watched him fly away "I have to go, That bird need's a stern talking to!" Fluttershy said as she took to the air after it. Spike watched her fly away and giggled "How long until we can actually have fun?" "Now seem's good," Celestia said to him, making the group of four jump, Spike turned on the spot and looked up at her and coughed. "Please don't tell Twilight." "I gave her the honor of greeting the guests so the fun could properly start." Celestia said happily as she looked down at Spike "I just came to inform you that you can start the fun now" Celestia turned and smiled "Don't disappoint me!" "We won't!" Discord called from behind the group, making them jump again and turn back to their original direction "Hello, sir?" Pumpkin said looking up at Discord who shook her and Pounds hooved. "Dude...Your Discord!!" Pound said in awe as he looked at the God of Chaos "I've been told," Discord said as he let go of their hooves and turned to Spike and Pinkie. "You two have everything properly prepared?" he asked, Spike pulled out a Spellbook, and Pinkie pulled out several bags of Flour. Pinkie gave one of the bags to Pound. "Come on Pound we have to get ready for this! And we need to move fast." Discord snapped his fingers and Pinkie and Pound disappeared. Spike turned to Pumpkin. "We need to get to the center of the Gala!" "What are we gonna do?" She asked as she and Spike booked it "We're gonna do the same thing we did the first time we met." "Reshelving day?" "No the things after that." Pumpkin thought for a second then a glint appeared in her eyes. "You mean we're gonna make a Strom Indoors!" Spike smiled. "oh yeah!" Spike cheered running past Celestia and Fancypants. "What are they going on about?" Fancy asked "This party is about to become awesome!" Celestia said to him with a smile as she watched the two of them run, she stopped when a letter poped in front of her face. -Please seal all the exits -Discord "Oh! I get to do something too!" Celestia lit her horn and all the door's and windows snapped shut. Twilight looked around and apologized to who was shaking her hoof. "I'm sorry, I need to check this," she said as she teleported to Celestia, who had an evil smile on her face. "What are you so happy about!?" She asked in horror "You hate the gala!" Celestia smiled down at her "It's about to get awesome!" Celestia turned and looked in the direction where Spike and Pumpkin had run, Twilight looked in the Direction and made her way in the direction in a futile hope to stop the disruption elsewhere "Alright," Spike said skidding to a halt "This is the best place!" Spike jumped up on a table and helped Pumpkin up several ponies stopped and started whispering to one another. Spike flipped through the book and found the Rain spell and showed Pumpkin. "This is gonna be awesome!" Pumpkin said as she lit her horn, but before she could cast the spell Twilight yelled "STOP!" And Tackled Spike, the two rolled off the table and Spike hit the floor, Twilight looked down at him "You are in so much trouble. Pumpkin looked down at him and Spike just smiled and pointed up. without Hesitation Pumpkin cast the spell. "What are you pointing at?" There was a loud BOOM and Twilight froze. Spike smiled "you almost got here in time," Spike said as Pumpkin Teleported him onto the Table and the two held onto the side's "BANZAI!!" The Two yelled in unison as the cloudburst. The Party fell into Chaos immediately. Above the Cloud Pinkie and Pound had set up multiple bags of flour. Pinkie Grabbed Pound and the two jumped, landing right next to Spike and Pumpkin. They Four smiled, waiting for the real fun to begin. Twilight had tried to stop the storm but had slipped and was now trying to see through her soaking wet mane. Meanwhile, Discord appeared with the group and Yelled. "NOW!" and with a snap of his fingers, the flour bags emptied their contents into the cloud. at the same time Discord added several over things into the water, once the rain had finally stopped a thick layer of Cake mix covered the Party Floor, stopping at the edge of the group's table. Discord snapped once more and the cake was properly decorated with frosting and whip cream. Discord openly laughed when Celestia squealed "CAKE!" and started eating it. Spike looked at her and shrugged. "I don't suppose you could fix out outfit's after this?" Spike pleased. "only because this was awesome" Discord said and with that Spike stood up and gave Pumpkin a Salut. "Far-Thee well" and still saluting he fell backward's into the cake. "Cannon Ball" Pinkie yelled as she jumped into the cake. The Twins looked at each other. "Wait for us!" They both called as they jumped in after them. Discord sat down and had a slice, and pulled Twilight out of the Cake and sat her next to him. "You...." She steamed at him as she cleaned herself with a spell. "Before you ask...yes...I made sure Fluttershy was outside during this fiasco." "DISCORD!!!" Twilight yelled tackling the Draconequus Your AmazingSpike sat next to Pumpkin, the Party had been properly ruined and there was a lot of Free Cake for everypony. They sat on the Table and watched Twilight try to get at Discord. Celestia seemed to be enjoying the free cake. Pinkie was making a Cake Pony with Pound. "This was super fun." Pumpkin said as she ate some of the Cake. "I know right! I mean look at this!" Spike said motioning to the Mega Cake " We spent forever trying to make sure this would be a night you two would never forget! This is officially the Great Cake Gala!" Spike said as he licked a bit of frosting off the end of his nose. "I...I can't even think of how to tell you how...how..." "I know...This is awesome!" "No...your awesome." "Whoa now...all I did was bring a book...that is literally all I had to do with any of this, Pinkie came up with the Idea, and Discord had this whole thing planned out, but I wanted you guys to have your shining moment! So Pinkie had Pound help her set up the Flour, and you made it rain! And Discord put it all together" Spike giggled. "All I did was bring the book, and we didn't even need it, you have that Spell memorized!" Spike sighed as he lay back, Then Pumpkin jumped on him and looked down at him. "Stop that!" "Stop what?" "Stop...acting like everything would be fine without you." "Relax Pumpkin, It was just a joke." "No! I've heard the way you talk about yourself around others. I've heard you Self doughing jokes, Just earlier you were talking about how I'd meet somepony better than you and forget you!" Pumpkin placed her hooves against Spike's Face. "You Are Spike! You are Awesome! your not just the guy that's there for comic relief! you're not just there to make other ponies feel better by putting yourself down! you're awesome!" Pumpkin waved at the cake around them "Who cares if all you did was bring a book, think about all the other thing's that wouldn't have been possible without you!" "Pumpkin, it's sweet that you care about me and all, but I don't think this is the place to..." "I'm doing this now! before you run off and find something else about yourself to be pessimistic about! Spike, Without you King Sombra would have taken over the Crystal Empire and would have either enslaved or killed Shining Armor and Princess Cadence." "I didn't really..." "Without that, you wouldn't have had enough respect to make them Trust Thorax!" "um.." "And without He wouldn't have been there to overthrow Queen Crsaliss and bring peace between Ponies and Changelings!" "I didn't have anything to do with that I was in a cacoon!" "Without you, Ember wouldn't be Dragon Lord! and there wouldn't be peace between Dragons and Ponies." "All I did was give her the scepter, really I didn't have much of a..." "Your the one who convinced her that Ponies weren't all bad!" Pumpkin shook Spike's head "You have done so many Amazing things!! YOU'RE AMAZING!! AND THE ONLY ONE WHO DOSEN'T SEEM TO KNOW THAT IS YOU!!!" Before Pumpkin could go on Pinkie appeared next to Spike. "Everything ok over here?" She asked "We were just..." Spike began but Pinkie cut him off. "Oh no...Everypony here heard you guys, Just want to make sure you're both aware of that." Pumpkin looked around at the massive crowd that had formed. Pumpkin got off Spike and looked over at him "Well finish this later," she mumbled as she jumped into the cake. Spike Looked at Pinkie "What the hell just happened?" "Your Friend just wanted to help you...come on Spike" Pinkie offered him her hoof "Let's marvel at Our work!" Pinkie said as she pulled him into the cake. Spike sighed "Fine, Race you to the window!" Good Night"But I Don't wanna go home" Pumpkin yawned as the Group made their way to the Carriages. "let's eat more cake" Pinkie laughed "You've had way too much already" She looked over at Pound "So have you" Spike leaned down and patted Pumpkins head "It's late, let's get you two home," he said as they slowly loaded into their cart and began the journey home. Pinkie and Spike sat next to each other and within 5 minutes the Cake twins had passed out and the two were sitting in an Awkward silence. "When's the last time we hung out?" Pinkie asked, "Just use?" "I Think the last time was that Time Dash set us up on a blind date" Pinkie snorted "Oh my Celestia that ended so badly, I only just finished paying off my half of the Bill for all the damages." "Twilight made me work it off, hard" Spike snorted "In Hindsight, I should have asked for no Pepper." The two sat next to each other Talking about the time they had turned a Resturant to a pile of Flaming sticks and Confettie, and the 2 day's after that they had tried hiding from the world, only to be caught by a diabolically cute trap set by Fluttershy. They had finished remising on the past adventure just as they arrived back in Ponyville. as the Cart pulled over to the Cake's bakery, Spike held the Twins while Pinkie tipped the Driver, they made their way through the front door and up the stairs. Spike yawned as he walking into Pumpkin's room, Pinkie Tucked in Pound while Spike tucked in Pumpkin Spike turned to leave, and face planted into the door, as Spike was getting up he felt Pumpkin grab his arm, he leaned down to extract himself when she yawned and sleepily said "I love you, Spike." there was Silence for a moment then Spike sighed and patted her head "Love you too kiddo," his piece said he slowly extracted himself from her and left the room once in the hallway he waited for Pinkie to finish tucking in Pound, once she was out the two looked at each other, then gave her a salute "I'm out." He declared, then flopped on the floor, Pinkie snorted and grabbed his tail "You're ridiculous Spike," She said as she dragged him up to her room, and lay him next to Gummy, who got up and rested a-top Spike's head "Night Gummy" Spike mumbled, still lying face down in a pile of Blankets. Pinkie yawned, and to complete the mess, Flopped a-top of Spike too. "Night Pinkie," Spike replied as he drifted off "Good Night Spike" Pinkie yawned as she fell asleep. Lets beginAuthor's Note Just a Quick chapter of Spike,Pinkie, and Discord planing mayhem. Lets begin After leaving the boutique with their suits and Dresses in Boxes, they all went to Sugar Cube Corner. Pumpkin and Pound left them there, they had been allowed to miss the first part of School thanks to the Gala preparations, buy only the first part, as the Cakes took their children to School Pinkie and Spike when upstairs to Pinkies room to store the Dresses and Tuxes. "So," Spike said as he put his and Pumpkins stuff next to Pinkie and Pounds in her Closet "How about Lunch?" "Oh," Pinkie said with a chuckle "Asking me on a Date, how could you betray Pumpkin like that?" 'You know what I meant" Spike said with his own chuckle " any way we need to make plans so they can have a good time" "so basically you want to absolute ruin the fanciness of the party?" Pinkie asked "And I think we both know who to call," Spike said. "Are you talking about me perhaps?" a new voice said. they both turned to see Discord laying behind them on Pinkies Bed "Because if so I Accept the offer" and with a Snap all three of them were sitting at a table with a small Buffet. " let's begin shall we?" Discord said with a Devilish smile that was copied by Spike and Pinkie Can I go with you?Pumpkin was in the tub. She was washing the crystal dust and the dirt out of her pelt, she and Spike had tried a new spell, it had not ended well. She had blown herself and Spike threw separate wall's and she had landed in a puddle. Spike landed on Starlights just in time shield. Twilight had been mad, Starlight had been to, but after finding out how it had happened, started laughing. "I was just like that when I first tried the big spells too. At least the room is still there" she had said as she continued to her room. After helping pick up the pieces, Twilight taught her how to fix things like holes in the wall, she had instead blown even more wall away. After three tries she was able to fix it. But at the cost of her, Spike, and Twilight cleanliness. Twilight told Spike to take Pumpkin home and get cleaned up. "Can I come again tomorrow?" Pumpkin had asked Spike, but Twilight intervened. "Oh no, I have to go help prepare the Gala, I won't be here for the next 3 day's. You two can't be here without me to fix the messes you make." Twilight said as she left to go clean herself up. Spike walked Pumpkin home "Sorry," Spike said to her "But it is Twilight castle, but we can do other things together after the Gala." "AFTER!? But that`s like 4 days away. And I have a Family ruin next week, We won't get to see each other again in forever" "it's exactly 4 days away, I'm sure you can live without me for 4 days, plus the extra day for the reunion. You'll be fine" they hadn't talked many afterward and Spike had left after he said hi to her parents. She`d been told to take a bath right away. So here she was, sitting in the tub, playing with a Rubber Ducky when it hit her If she went to the Gala too, Spike would have to spend the next 4 days with her! She jumped out of the Tub, toweled off, put in her bow, and ran out yelling "I`ll be right back I have to go ask Spike a Question" she was outside before her parents could respond, she ran down to the castle and got there just in time to see the Twilight saying goodbye to Spike. "....and remember, you and Pumpkin cant go into the castle with each other, or so help me Ill..." "SPIKE!!" Pumpkin yelled, cutting of Twilight. "*sigh* Pumpkin, its late, and Im about to leave, you and Spike can`t pla..." "Can I go with you?" She asked Spike, causing Twilight to stop, and Spike to freeze" "Come again I don`t think I hear you right?" Spike said putting his hand behind his ear 'Can I go with you to the Gala?" I`d be more fun to go Together.Twilight was speechless, Pumpkin was breathing heavy, Spike had a huge grin on his face, he flashed Twilight an evil glare and said in a over-exaggerated tone "Ms.Cake, I would be honored if you would accompany me to the Gala, so long as thy parents do not mind." he said with a bow and a huge Smile on his face, Pumpkin looked just as excited, Twilight looked like Christmas had been announced early, then promptly canceled. "But...but she....and you.....explosions....the Rain..." Spike smiled and held up his Ticket. "I have been invited and am allowed one guest. Pumpkin, I hereby dub thee, My guest." this resulted in a tackle hug from Pumpkin, "Oh, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" She said, as she let go of the now floored Spike, who was laughing at her reaction. "What should I wear tho?" "Ill have Rarity make you a dress....she owes me quite a lot of favors. but you should probably go tell your folk's and Pinkie that your going to your first Gala." Pumpkin said her goodbyes and ran home. once she was out of sight, Twilight turned on Spike. "Spike....I swear to Celestia, If you to ruin the party..." "Oh hush, If we ruin the party, Celestia will make sure we both come again, after all, she made absolute sure Discord and the Smooze were both on the permanently invited list." "That`s different!" "How so?" "It...IT JUST IS!!!! Now listen, im going to go help preparations, and I swear if you to ruin the party....I`ll....stare at you disappointingly every time the Gala is even mentioned!!" with that she teleported off. after a few Second, Spike snorted "At least Itll be fun for me this time." He turned and met face to face with Pinkie "I see youve heard the news" He was able to say before being hugged by Pinkie "THISISGREAT!!IWANTEDTOBRINGONEOFTHEMANDIFIGUREDIDHAVETOBRINGTHEMONEYEARATATIMEBUTNOWTHELLBOTHGETTOGO" "Sweet Celestia, Pinkie breath!" Pinkie proceed to Take a huge breath. "She asked me." "You said yes. im so happy, my favorite twins are both going to the Gala, as soon as I heard the news I told Pound that he was coming with me! This is gonna be the BEST GALA EVER! but just out of curiosity, why'd you say yes?" "I figured I`d be more fun to go Together." Author's Note what Pinkie said was THIS IS GREAT!! I WANTED TO BRING ONE OF THEM AND I FIGURED ID HAVE TO BRING THEM ONE YEAR AT A TIME BUT NOW THELL BOTH GET TO GO" Welcome to the GalaPound and Pumpkin were jumping around in the carriage excitedly, They ran from window to window, both to excited to stop, Pinkie and Spike where watching them happily. They were all in the Carriage on their way to the Gala, All dressed up in there fancy clothes. Spike and Pinkie couldn't stop giggling at each other. "You look so silly" Pinkie giggled "You look so fancy" Spike giggled back. finally the carts stopped. Pinkie and Pound entered the line, Spike and Pumpkin lagged behind a bit, Spike looked down "Are you ready my lady" "Stop that Spike" Pumpkin giggled "Were here to ruin this fancy party after all" "True dat" Spike said with an immediate tone shift "Let's wreck this joint" Spike then heard a cough and turn to find Twilight "DEA!" The duo yellped "Care to repeat what you just said?" Twilight asked Spike and Pumpkin booked it "Run!" they yelped as they scampered away, Twilight sighed "Gonna be a long night." It took half an hour, but Spike and Pumpkin made it to the front of the line. Celestia looked at them and smiled "Spike" she greeted with a hoof shake "It's so good to see you again" She leaned down and whispered "I hear your gonna wreck the joint, good luck" She said with a smile then looked down at Pumpkin and shook her hoof, the filly was in shock at actually meeting Celestia, but what Celestia said next almost made her jump out of her skin "and you must be Pumpkin, I've heard a lot about you from Spike, pleasure to meet you" "P...pleasure to meet you to ma'am" Pumpkin said as she and Spike walked past her, once they where out of ear shot Pumpkin turned to Spike "You didn't tell me you knew Princess Celestia!!" "I know all the Princesses, heck I'm foal-sitting Flurryheart for a week," "WHAT!!!You didn't tell me yo..." "Don't worry, I'll be back the day before the end of your family reunion" "oh that....less irritating, " Pumpkin said looking back at Celestia "So what's the plan?" "yes what's the plan?" Twilight said from behind them, making them both jump "OH NO IT'S YOU, I mean hey Twilight, what's up!" Spike said "Smooth" Pumpkin said "Thanks" Spike replied, Twilight sighed "I swear if you two do anything to ruin this party, I'll.." "Relax Twiley, we're not gonna do anything" Spike said, using Shining's nickname to try and win her over. "I'm watching you two" She replied as she disappeared back into the crowd the Duo looked at each other, then Spike smiled and held up his hand "Welcome to the Gala....now let's wreck this joint"
We`ll treasure these forever!Pumpkin was woken up by Pinkie. "Come on we have to meet Spike at Rarity`s so we can make sure all get our outfits fit right." the Twins and Pinkie made their way down to the boutique. "I heard Spike saved the crystal empire by jumping off the top of the castle and Punching Sombra in the face with the Crystal Heart." Pound said "Is that true" "No," Pumpkin said "that's only half true" Pound looked at her squinting "Whi...which half? he asked, before Pumpkin could respond, Pinkie interrupted "He also saved the Crystal games from a Giant Ice cloud, and he`s the reason Thorax the King of Changelings is a good guy, which makes him indirectly responsible for our peace between us and them, and for saving me, the other elements, Discord, Trixie, and all the Alicorns plus Shining armor and Spike himself from being trap in cocoon forever. and then there was the time he, Trixie and Starlight saved Appleloosa from an Ursa Major, but yeah, that thing about him punching Sombra isn't true." "Oh..." Pound said "But he did jump off the top of the Castle in the Crystal Empire with the Crystal Heart, Princess Cadance caught him before he hit the ground." "....Awesome." was all Pound could thing to say to all this Information. Pumpkin had read it all in a small book she`d found in the Library called "The Great Spike and all that he has done" it had been a children's book, But Spike fact-checked that everything in it had indeed happened. When they got to the boutique all Pound could do was stare at Spike, too intimidated to talk to him. as they entered, Pumpkin and Pound were taken into the other room to be measured by Rarity. Spike and Pinkie sat down. "So Spike, What color suit and dress are you two gonna wear?" "Rarity said she would hook us up with a Black and Red comb set" he replied "I went for the Yellow and Blue set...I cant wait to see them in it."Pinkie said as the twins came back, the rest of the wait Spike and Pumpkin spent giggling over the idea of what the Yellow/Blue set would look like. but when Pinkie and Pound came out they laughed even harder once they saw the mistake. Pinkie was wearing a Black-topped Dress with a Red bow and a Red and Black bottom. Pound had a Black tux top, with a red undershirt and a red tie, with black pants. all his buttons where Red. "But this isn't the color I asked for them to be in" "I could have sworn this was the color you ordered." Rarity said. the trio looked over when they heard Spike and Pumpkin laughing themselves silly. "You...you mixed up our color orders!" Spike said, "I can`t wait to see my Yellow and Blue Tux!!!" "I can`t wait to see my dress" Pumpkin said, now on the floor laughing. Pinkie and Pound looked at each other. "I want to see them in it to" Pound said "Me too." Pinkie decided and took their seats as Spike and Pumpkin entered the Changing room and after a few minutes, Pinkie could hear their laughter Increase in volume. Spike came out wearing a Blue Tux with Yellow Polka-dot`s on it, along with an oversized Yellow Bow-tie, and a Yellow Undershirt that had Blue Polka-dots, his pants had Yellow stripes. Pumpkins Dress was Blue and Yellow with Vertical stripes, with the colors switching sides at the bottom, her Bow was big and Yellow with a Blue center. they both looked at each other, and after laughing they both declared "We`ll treasure these forever!" Author's Note Spike, Trixie, and Starlight saved Appleloosa from an Ursa Major.....maybe I`ll make a little side story for that at some time. also I decided to not go into details over them getting their measurements...would be long an boring anyway.
An Awkward Dance"So when are we gonna ruin the party?" Pumpkin asked Spike "About 2 hours." "What!? Why that long?" "Celestia love's it when the party is ruined, and she'll be stuck greeting guests for the next 2 hours or so, so we wait until she can enjoy the mayhem." Spike said happily, there was silence for a second, "Do you know how to dance?" He asked "No." "Well neither do I, so let's go embarrass ourselves," Spike said, offering her his hand, Pumpkin's face turned red "Dance! but....I....we....what if..." "Relax, the only ponies that know you here are the element's, your brother, and me. And if we start Dancing, Pinkie's gonna dance with him." Pumpkin still looked embarrassed about the idea, but offered Spike her hoof, Spike took it and the two walked to the dance floor, Pumpkin, With Spike's help, Got on her back hooves and wrapped her front hooves around his neck, Spike held her waist "I feel silly" Pumpkin said "This is the only way we can dance together, any other way and we'd be dancing two different dances," Spike said as the two began to dance, Several ponies muttered at how odd the two looked together, but most just ignored them. After a few minutes, There dance slowed a little bit "So....Made any new friends?" "Do you count?" Pumpkin asked "I don't think so, we've been friends for a while." Spike was silent for a second "But no pressure, you'll make your own friends in time, long as you have fun with them." "And if you like them to right?" Pumpkin asked. Spike started laughing "Pumpkin, I'm about 28, you're about 12, You need friends your own age, not some dragon who's over half your age." "But I like you. you're the only friend I've ever had, I won't ditch you for newer friends." "Yeah...That's what Twilight told me." "And you're both still friend right?" "Eh...where more like family at this point, but we're not as close as we use to be. someponies....and dragons grow apart, It's just how the world is." Pumpkin was red in the face again "Well, I think that's stupid, If making new friend's mean's losing your old ones...then I don't want new friends." The two had stopped dancing. "It's all right, It's just how the world works, Listen Pumpkin, Even if you do get new friends, it doesn't mean you have to forget your old friends, it just..." Pumpkin dropped onto her front hooves and ran off "NO, I don't want to forget!" She yelled angrily. "Dah, why must I suck so much at everything!?" Spike facepalmed, and turned, meeting with Pinkie and Pound "How'd you know I was here?" Pinkie asked "I have great hearing, Could you go talk to her? I'm just making it worse." Pinkie gave a salute and left Spike with Pound. "If you hurt my sister, I'll beat you up," Pound said "I won't stop ya" Spike replied, "come on kid, I'll show ya the Garden." Pinkie found Pumpkin pretty quickly, she was sitting on one of the balconies overlooking the Garden, she was red faces and crying a little. Pinkie patted her head "So Spike told ya what might happen if you get new friends I'm guessing?" Pumpkin just nodded "Look Pumpkin, Spike...Isn't good at talking to others, most likely due to mostly talking to his friends threw letters, but He didn't mean to make it sound like you would just...forget him, as long as you still hold a special place for him in your heart, you can make new friends. You might end up liking some of them more than Spike, or less than Spike, but that doesn't mean you have to forget him." Pinkie said as the two looked down at Pound and Spike. Pound was trying to get one of the animals to come to him, Spike had a Toucan on his right shoulder. they briefly heard him speak "Hey Joey, how ya been doing?" he asked the bird, it squawked at him, they heard him call Fluttershy for translation, And Pumpkin giggled "He look's so silly with that bird on him" she sighed "I know what he meant, but I don't want to like anypony more than Spike, he's my Friend, and the only one who wasn't related to me, or a family friend to talk to me and make me their friend" She sighed "I don't..." Pinkie hushed her "It's OK, You don't have to make new friends if you don't want to, but one day you will, and when you do, I'm sure Spike will befriend them to" Pinkie smiled "Now let's get down there, Joey owe's me 5 bits."
Another indoor StormPumpkin and Pinkie walked into the Garden and Saw Spike yelling angrily at the Toucan, Pound was laughing at his, Fluttershy was trying to calm him down. "...And you can shove it right up you...Oh, Hi guys" Spike said cutting off mid-insult to greet them. "You...better now Pumpkin?" "A little." Pumpkin said awkwardly. Pinkie looked up at the Toucan. "Hey, Joey! wheres my 5 bits!" she called at him, He squawked and flew away, Fluttershy gasp "Such Language!" She gasped. as she watched him fly away "I have to go, That bird need's a stern talking to!" Fluttershy said as she took to the air after it. Spike watched her fly away and giggled "How long until we can actually have fun?" "Now seem's good," Celestia said to him, making the group of four jump, Spike turned on the spot and looked up at her and coughed. "Please don't tell Twilight." "I gave her the honor of greeting the guests so the fun could properly start." Celestia said happily as she looked down at Spike "I just came to inform you that you can start the fun now" Celestia turned and smiled "Don't disappoint me!" "We won't!" Discord called from behind the group, making them jump again and turn back to their original direction "Hello, sir?" Pumpkin said looking up at Discord who shook her and Pounds hooved. "Dude...Your Discord!!" Pound said in awe as he looked at the God of Chaos "I've been told," Discord said as he let go of their hooves and turned to Spike and Pinkie. "You two have everything properly prepared?" he asked, Spike pulled out a Spellbook, and Pinkie pulled out several bags of Flour. Pinkie gave one of the bags to Pound. "Come on Pound we have to get ready for this! And we need to move fast." Discord snapped his fingers and Pinkie and Pound disappeared. Spike turned to Pumpkin. "We need to get to the center of the Gala!" "What are we gonna do?" She asked as she and Spike booked it "We're gonna do the same thing we did the first time we met." "Reshelving day?" "No the things after that." Pumpkin thought for a second then a glint appeared in her eyes. "You mean we're gonna make a Strom Indoors!" Spike smiled. "oh yeah!" Spike cheered running past Celestia and Fancypants. "What are they going on about?" Fancy asked "This party is about to become awesome!" Celestia said to him with a smile as she watched the two of them run, she stopped when a letter poped in front of her face. -Please seal all the exits -Discord "Oh! I get to do something too!" Celestia lit her horn and all the door's and windows snapped shut. Twilight looked around and apologized to who was shaking her hoof. "I'm sorry, I need to check this," she said as she teleported to Celestia, who had an evil smile on her face. "What are you so happy about!?" She asked in horror "You hate the gala!" Celestia smiled down at her "It's about to get awesome!" Celestia turned and looked in the direction where Spike and Pumpkin had run, Twilight looked in the Direction and made her way in the direction in a futile hope to stop the disruption elsewhere "Alright," Spike said skidding to a halt "This is the best place!" Spike jumped up on a table and helped Pumpkin up several ponies stopped and started whispering to one another. Spike flipped through the book and found the Rain spell and showed Pumpkin. "This is gonna be awesome!" Pumpkin said as she lit her horn, but before she could cast the spell Twilight yelled "STOP!" And Tackled Spike, the two rolled off the table and Spike hit the floor, Twilight looked down at him "You are in so much trouble. Pumpkin looked down at him and Spike just smiled and pointed up. without Hesitation Pumpkin cast the spell. "What are you pointing at?" There was a loud BOOM and Twilight froze. Spike smiled "you almost got here in time," Spike said as Pumpkin Teleported him onto the Table and the two held onto the side's "BANZAI!!" The Two yelled in unison as the cloudburst. The Party fell into Chaos immediately. Above the Cloud Pinkie and Pound had set up multiple bags of flour. Pinkie Grabbed Pound and the two jumped, landing right next to Spike and Pumpkin. They Four smiled, waiting for the real fun to begin. Twilight had tried to stop the storm but had slipped and was now trying to see through her soaking wet mane. Meanwhile, Discord appeared with the group and Yelled. "NOW!" and with a snap of his fingers, the flour bags emptied their contents into the cloud. at the same time Discord added several over things into the water, once the rain had finally stopped a thick layer of Cake mix covered the Party Floor, stopping at the edge of the group's table. Discord snapped once more and the cake was properly decorated with frosting and whip cream. Discord openly laughed when Celestia squealed "CAKE!" and started eating it. Spike looked at her and shrugged. "I don't suppose you could fix out outfit's after this?" Spike pleased. "only because this was awesome" Discord said and with that Spike stood up and gave Pumpkin a Salut. "Far-Thee well" and still saluting he fell backward's into the cake. "Cannon Ball" Pinkie yelled as she jumped into the cake. The Twins looked at each other. "Wait for us!" They both called as they jumped in after them. Discord sat down and had a slice, and pulled Twilight out of the Cake and sat her next to him. "You...." She steamed at him as she cleaned herself with a spell. "Before you ask...yes...I made sure Fluttershy was outside during this fiasco." "DISCORD!!!" Twilight yelled tackling the Draconequus
Your AmazingSpike sat next to Pumpkin, the Party had been properly ruined and there was a lot of Free Cake for everypony. They sat on the Table and watched Twilight try to get at Discord. Celestia seemed to be enjoying the free cake. Pinkie was making a Cake Pony with Pound. "This was super fun." Pumpkin said as she ate some of the Cake. "I know right! I mean look at this!" Spike said motioning to the Mega Cake " We spent forever trying to make sure this would be a night you two would never forget! This is officially the Great Cake Gala!" Spike said as he licked a bit of frosting off the end of his nose. "I...I can't even think of how to tell you how...how..." "I know...This is awesome!" "No...your awesome." "Whoa now...all I did was bring a book...that is literally all I had to do with any of this, Pinkie came up with the Idea, and Discord had this whole thing planned out, but I wanted you guys to have your shining moment! So Pinkie had Pound help her set up the Flour, and you made it rain! And Discord put it all together" Spike giggled. "All I did was bring the book, and we didn't even need it, you have that Spell memorized!" Spike sighed as he lay back, Then Pumpkin jumped on him and looked down at him. "Stop that!" "Stop what?" "Stop...acting like everything would be fine without you." "Relax Pumpkin, It was just a joke." "No! I've heard the way you talk about yourself around others. I've heard you Self doughing jokes, Just earlier you were talking about how I'd meet somepony better than you and forget you!" Pumpkin placed her hooves against Spike's Face. "You Are Spike! You are Awesome! your not just the guy that's there for comic relief! you're not just there to make other ponies feel better by putting yourself down! you're awesome!" Pumpkin waved at the cake around them "Who cares if all you did was bring a book, think about all the other thing's that wouldn't have been possible without you!" "Pumpkin, it's sweet that you care about me and all, but I don't think this is the place to..." "I'm doing this now! before you run off and find something else about yourself to be pessimistic about! Spike, Without you King Sombra would have taken over the Crystal Empire and would have either enslaved or killed Shining Armor and Princess Cadence." "I didn't really..." "Without that, you wouldn't have had enough respect to make them Trust Thorax!" "um.." "And without He wouldn't have been there to overthrow Queen Crsaliss and bring peace between Ponies and Changelings!" "I didn't have anything to do with that I was in a cacoon!" "Without you, Ember wouldn't be Dragon Lord! and there wouldn't be peace between Dragons and Ponies." "All I did was give her the scepter, really I didn't have much of a..." "Your the one who convinced her that Ponies weren't all bad!" Pumpkin shook Spike's head "You have done so many Amazing things!! YOU'RE AMAZING!! AND THE ONLY ONE WHO DOSEN'T SEEM TO KNOW THAT IS YOU!!!" Before Pumpkin could go on Pinkie appeared next to Spike. "Everything ok over here?" She asked "We were just..." Spike began but Pinkie cut him off. "Oh no...Everypony here heard you guys, Just want to make sure you're both aware of that." Pumpkin looked around at the massive crowd that had formed. Pumpkin got off Spike and looked over at him "Well finish this later," she mumbled as she jumped into the cake. Spike Looked at Pinkie "What the hell just happened?" "Your Friend just wanted to help you...come on Spike" Pinkie offered him her hoof "Let's marvel at Our work!" Pinkie said as she pulled him into the cake. Spike sighed "Fine, Race you to the window!"
Good Night"But I Don't wanna go home" Pumpkin yawned as the Group made their way to the Carriages. "let's eat more cake" Pinkie laughed "You've had way too much already" She looked over at Pound "So have you" Spike leaned down and patted Pumpkins head "It's late, let's get you two home," he said as they slowly loaded into their cart and began the journey home. Pinkie and Spike sat next to each other and within 5 minutes the Cake twins had passed out and the two were sitting in an Awkward silence. "When's the last time we hung out?" Pinkie asked, "Just use?" "I Think the last time was that Time Dash set us up on a blind date" Pinkie snorted "Oh my Celestia that ended so badly, I only just finished paying off my half of the Bill for all the damages." "Twilight made me work it off, hard" Spike snorted "In Hindsight, I should have asked for no Pepper." The two sat next to each other Talking about the time they had turned a Resturant to a pile of Flaming sticks and Confettie, and the 2 day's after that they had tried hiding from the world, only to be caught by a diabolically cute trap set by Fluttershy. They had finished remising on the past adventure just as they arrived back in Ponyville. as the Cart pulled over to the Cake's bakery, Spike held the Twins while Pinkie tipped the Driver, they made their way through the front door and up the stairs. Spike yawned as he walking into Pumpkin's room, Pinkie Tucked in Pound while Spike tucked in Pumpkin Spike turned to leave, and face planted into the door, as Spike was getting up he felt Pumpkin grab his arm, he leaned down to extract himself when she yawned and sleepily said "I love you, Spike." there was Silence for a moment then Spike sighed and patted her head "Love you too kiddo," his piece said he slowly extracted himself from her and left the room once in the hallway he waited for Pinkie to finish tucking in Pound, once she was out the two looked at each other, then gave her a salute "I'm out." He declared, then flopped on the floor, Pinkie snorted and grabbed his tail "You're ridiculous Spike," She said as she dragged him up to her room, and lay him next to Gummy, who got up and rested a-top Spike's head "Night Gummy" Spike mumbled, still lying face down in a pile of Blankets. Pinkie yawned, and to complete the mess, Flopped a-top of Spike too. "Night Pinkie," Spike replied as he drifted off "Good Night Spike" Pinkie yawned as she fell asleep.
Lets beginAuthor's Note Just a Quick chapter of Spike,Pinkie, and Discord planing mayhem. Lets begin After leaving the boutique with their suits and Dresses in Boxes, they all went to Sugar Cube Corner. Pumpkin and Pound left them there, they had been allowed to miss the first part of School thanks to the Gala preparations, buy only the first part, as the Cakes took their children to School Pinkie and Spike when upstairs to Pinkies room to store the Dresses and Tuxes. "So," Spike said as he put his and Pumpkins stuff next to Pinkie and Pounds in her Closet "How about Lunch?" "Oh," Pinkie said with a chuckle "Asking me on a Date, how could you betray Pumpkin like that?" 'You know what I meant" Spike said with his own chuckle " any way we need to make plans so they can have a good time" "so basically you want to absolute ruin the fanciness of the party?" Pinkie asked "And I think we both know who to call," Spike said. "Are you talking about me perhaps?" a new voice said. they both turned to see Discord laying behind them on Pinkies Bed "Because if so I Accept the offer" and with a Snap all three of them were sitting at a table with a small Buffet. " let's begin shall we?" Discord said with a Devilish smile that was copied by Spike and Pinkie
Can I go with you?Pumpkin was in the tub. She was washing the crystal dust and the dirt out of her pelt, she and Spike had tried a new spell, it had not ended well. She had blown herself and Spike threw separate wall's and she had landed in a puddle. Spike landed on Starlights just in time shield. Twilight had been mad, Starlight had been to, but after finding out how it had happened, started laughing. "I was just like that when I first tried the big spells too. At least the room is still there" she had said as she continued to her room. After helping pick up the pieces, Twilight taught her how to fix things like holes in the wall, she had instead blown even more wall away. After three tries she was able to fix it. But at the cost of her, Spike, and Twilight cleanliness. Twilight told Spike to take Pumpkin home and get cleaned up. "Can I come again tomorrow?" Pumpkin had asked Spike, but Twilight intervened. "Oh no, I have to go help prepare the Gala, I won't be here for the next 3 day's. You two can't be here without me to fix the messes you make." Twilight said as she left to go clean herself up. Spike walked Pumpkin home "Sorry," Spike said to her "But it is Twilight castle, but we can do other things together after the Gala." "AFTER!? But that`s like 4 days away. And I have a Family ruin next week, We won't get to see each other again in forever" "it's exactly 4 days away, I'm sure you can live without me for 4 days, plus the extra day for the reunion. You'll be fine" they hadn't talked many afterward and Spike had left after he said hi to her parents. She`d been told to take a bath right away. So here she was, sitting in the tub, playing with a Rubber Ducky when it hit her If she went to the Gala too, Spike would have to spend the next 4 days with her! She jumped out of the Tub, toweled off, put in her bow, and ran out yelling "I`ll be right back I have to go ask Spike a Question" she was outside before her parents could respond, she ran down to the castle and got there just in time to see the Twilight saying goodbye to Spike. "....and remember, you and Pumpkin cant go into the castle with each other, or so help me Ill..." "SPIKE!!" Pumpkin yelled, cutting of Twilight. "*sigh* Pumpkin, its late, and Im about to leave, you and Spike can`t pla..." "Can I go with you?" She asked Spike, causing Twilight to stop, and Spike to freeze" "Come again I don`t think I hear you right?" Spike said putting his hand behind his ear 'Can I go with you to the Gala?"
I`d be more fun to go Together.Twilight was speechless, Pumpkin was breathing heavy, Spike had a huge grin on his face, he flashed Twilight an evil glare and said in a over-exaggerated tone "Ms.Cake, I would be honored if you would accompany me to the Gala, so long as thy parents do not mind." he said with a bow and a huge Smile on his face, Pumpkin looked just as excited, Twilight looked like Christmas had been announced early, then promptly canceled. "But...but she....and you.....explosions....the Rain..." Spike smiled and held up his Ticket. "I have been invited and am allowed one guest. Pumpkin, I hereby dub thee, My guest." this resulted in a tackle hug from Pumpkin, "Oh, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" She said, as she let go of the now floored Spike, who was laughing at her reaction. "What should I wear tho?" "Ill have Rarity make you a dress....she owes me quite a lot of favors. but you should probably go tell your folk's and Pinkie that your going to your first Gala." Pumpkin said her goodbyes and ran home. once she was out of sight, Twilight turned on Spike. "Spike....I swear to Celestia, If you to ruin the party..." "Oh hush, If we ruin the party, Celestia will make sure we both come again, after all, she made absolute sure Discord and the Smooze were both on the permanently invited list." "That`s different!" "How so?" "It...IT JUST IS!!!! Now listen, im going to go help preparations, and I swear if you to ruin the party....I`ll....stare at you disappointingly every time the Gala is even mentioned!!" with that she teleported off. after a few Second, Spike snorted "At least Itll be fun for me this time." He turned and met face to face with Pinkie "I see youve heard the news" He was able to say before being hugged by Pinkie "THISISGREAT!!IWANTEDTOBRINGONEOFTHEMANDIFIGUREDIDHAVETOBRINGTHEMONEYEARATATIMEBUTNOWTHELLBOTHGETTOGO" "Sweet Celestia, Pinkie breath!" Pinkie proceed to Take a huge breath. "She asked me." "You said yes. im so happy, my favorite twins are both going to the Gala, as soon as I heard the news I told Pound that he was coming with me!

The duo yellped "Care to repeat what you just said?" Twilight asked Spike and Pumpkin booked it "Run!" they yelped as they scampered away, Twilight sighed "Gonna be a long night."
