Actions Have Consequences
Story Starts... Now!
"I'm always cleaning around here and receive nothing! It's about time I change that..." These were the thoughts that plunged Spikes mind.
As of late, Spike has been feeling unappreciated for his dedication and hard work with assisting Twilight and his, her, friends. This feeling of bitterness started a month ago; when he ran himself into the ground trying to help "his friends" with whatever they needed.
What does he get for trying to help? A quiet whisper of gratitude and nothing else. Not even a small gemstone for his troubles. So, today is the day that he gets his due.
"Sneaking out of the castle was easy but getting a chocolate and vanilla cake with gemstones sprinkles, for half the price, from Sugarcube Corner is going to be a challenge." The young dragon thought as he marched through the shopping district of Ponyville.
The countless possibilities of what may or may not happen; began to course throughout his mind. But, the aroma of different foods spread throughout Ponyville, mesmerized Spike into nearly forgetting about his plan.
"No! I'm going to enjoy getting that cake for half the price and eating it all by myself." Spike uttered, reinforcing his resolve.
Spike found himself nearing Sugarcube Corner and started to feel nervous as he got closer towards the door. As he grew nearer to Sugarcube Corner; the smell of all kinds of sweets and treats begin to give him a form of sensory overload.
"I've been to Sugarcube Corner lots of times! Like that one event, where we threw a fake party for Gilbert or was it Gizmo? No, it was Gilda! So, why do I have this feeling of dread." This thought made Spike pause for a moment, as he contemplated for any subtle hints.
Nothing came to mind as Spike stood outside the Sugarcube Corner door for five minutes; trying to come up with anything to explain for the EXTRA sweetening smell coming from Sugarcube Corner.
"If I had to guess, I'd say somebody's birthday is about to happen." Spike proclaimed to himself, as he grasps the handle to the door, before swinging the door open.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SPIKE!
The noise of almost everypony in Ponyville, provoked Spike to jump up 10 feet in the air and hit the ceiling.
"Ow! That Hurt!" The young drake cried out in pain, as gravity pulled him back down and caused him to face plant the floor.
"SPIKE!" Everyone screamed in worry with Mane Six rushing to his side.
"Don't worry. I'm fine. So, what's with all the decorations?" Spike announced as he slowly stood up, looking at accessories.
The interior of Sugarcube Corner had a banner that, in bold letters, have a happy birthday sign with a generic looking background to it, but the small purple and green gemstones helped a bit.
"Have you forgotten? Silly pants, it's your birthday!" Pinkie Pie stated, almost shouting in pure happiness.
"I-Wha-Wh-Ho" Jumbled-up words were the only thing coming out of Spike's mouth.
"Don't worry Spike. We can never forget about you..." Twilight said in the most genuine voice.
"Twilight. I don't know what the-" Pinkie Pie interrupted Spike from finishing his heartfelt speech.
"Hey, everypony. You know what this calls for? A song with a party!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she jumped 10 feet in the air.

"Thank you so much for putting all this together! I'm glad to have friends like you guys..." Spike uttered to his friends.
"Anytime."
"So, does that mean I can have fewer hours of work?"
"Don't push it."
"Oh, come on Twilight! Just two hours? No? One."
"I'll think about it, Spike. For the time being, just enjoy the party."

Author's Note
So, this is the end of the story. I'm new to writing as a whole and would appreciate any and all feedback.
P.S. I'm EXTREMELY SLOW when it comes to thinking and writing down ideas... have any tips to help a newcomer?
