Because we will

Spike, Starlight, and Trixie watched the argument going on in front of them

"What's happening," Spike asked, "I blanked out for a second?"

"She's telling him she knows he's cheating on her!" Starlight said,

"Hush, Trixie is trying to watch," Trixie said as they looked into the Window below them, they were once again sitting slanted on a roof. The Mare was throwing thing's at the Colt, who was yelling back

"Maybe if you were here when I needed you This wouldn't have happened!" The Colt yelled

"You've never been here when I needed you to be, it's alway's about you, YOU, YOU, YOU!! I dropped out of Collage for you, and this is how you repay me, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY APARTMENT!"

"YOUR APARTMENT!"

"YES, MY APARTMENT, YOU JOBLESS BUM! I WORK MY ASS OFF FOR YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE MONEY THAT I, I WORKED HARD FOR? YOU SPEND IT ON BEER AND HOKERS!! The Mare Lite her horn and the Trio watched as she teleported the Colt outside, He Blinked and looked up, seeing the Trio

"You dun fucked up," Spike said as Starlight teleported the trio away
-A Few minutes later-

"Trixie is impressed" Trixie declared as she and the others sat on a rock and watched the Canterlot Waterfall flow by next to them

"It's nice and relaxing" Spike added as he rocked back and forth

"Yeah, oh wait, here comes another one!" Starlight pointed across the water and waved at a Pony who was about to float over the side in a barrel, as the trio watched him fall Trixie smiled

"Dumbasses," she said as the Barrel and the pony inside smashed to pieces on impact "What are they doing anyway?"

"Yeah, who tries to go over a waterfall that big using a barrel?" Spike shook his head "they're not even trying." Spike looked down back at Canterlot "That guy over there is making a killing on Barrel sales" Spike snorted

"Literally," Straight added as they watched the sell's pony sell another to some stupid teen "Alright, we'll watch one more, then we should go watch something else," The three of them watched as the pony wading towards the fall's had second thoughts and yelled for help,

"Just Smile and wave" Starlight muttered as he yelled for help and was swept over the falls "he's the one who thought it was a good idea" she added as she teleported them away.

-A few hours later-

"gross" Spike said as the three watched a set of doctor's performing a surgery "is that what you guy looks like inside?"

"Trixie Look's good inside and out," Trixie said as she watched "But this is interesting nonetheless, What are they doing?"

"I Think it's A Heart transplant," Starlight said, looking at the young foal on the table

"I Hope they make it," Spike said, as they watched Trixie looked around

"What time is it?" She asked "Trixie has lost track of time"

"Who knows" Spike replied, "we've been watching this for a while I think, Why?"

"Trixie just feels like this is the third gross thing we've watched in a row."

"Yeah," Spike agreed "How about something cute and cuddly?" he asked

"Sure" Starlight responded as the Surgery was put to rest "oh look she's not dead!"

"Fighting chance" Spike cheered "We'll have to come back to this one later" he added as the three teleported away

-later-

"How is this a thing?" Starlight asked as the Trio watched a horribly cheesy movie at an old fashion drive-in theater, the trio were at a Picnic table
"Shh!" Trixie and Spike said in unison

"This is the original version of the movie we where gonna watch before the power outage," Spike said as the Monster picked up what was obviously a fake car

"Oh, I can't wait to see that," Trixie said as a waitress came by and gave them their food, Spike dug into his nachos while Starlight and Trixie ate their burgers.

"It got so dark" Starlight yawned as the trio watched the monster get attacked by a mare in a Celestia costume

"This is Luna's favorite part," Spike said, "Celestia says this ruins the entire movie, what with them not actually casting her as herself."

"That's silly," Trixie said "I bet that Mare was hoping to impress the Princess"

"She impressed Luna, the look on her face when Luna actually tracked her down for an autograph, she was in tears" Spike smiled "Good times" The Trio talked on like this until the movie ended, once everyone else was clearing out Spike looked around "Think we should stop for the night?" he asked the Girls looked at each other then at him, he smiled back and they all yelled in unison

"ONE MORE TIME!" They cheered before teleporting off. The Waitress watching them

"Can't believe they didn't even leave a tip" She muttered angrily as she stormed off "they ordered 9 Nachos and 17 Burgers and left a huge mess!" the Waitress spent the next 10 minutes cleaning the huge mess before the next crowd movie started seating.

Ta-Da, a second Chapter I never really planned to make! Hope you enjoy

Because we did

The Trio sat in silence, they were sitting on a building watching a small get together threw a hospital window, the center of attention was the young filly the trio had watched having heart surgery earlier in the day.

"This is nice," Spike said as he pushed his feet over Starlight's Barrier and let the rain wash over them "happy endings are sweet,"

"Trixie was hoping she would survive," Trixie said as they watched the little foal open a few gifts from the attending group they assumed was her family, "Starlight did you get her name?" Trixie asked, she and Spike looking over at Starlight as they asked

"I have," Starlight replied, her eyes glowing as she used her magic to look at the doctor's notes at the end of the fillies bed "This is sweet and I think this one time it's ok to interview a little, I'm sure her parents will be happy to find the bills mysteriously paid," Starlight light her horn and after a few minutes one of the doctors came into the room with a somewhat confused look on his face. "Shit we gotta move before they start looking for us! what say you guys?" The other two smiled and the trio all called out.

"ONE MORE TIME!"

A few minutes later

The Trio sat in silence as the looked at the scene before them, laying on the beach was the large body of a dead crab, multiple seagulls were picking at it, the boat it had attacked having long sailed off into the night.

"Trixie is in shock," Trixie said as they looked at it.

"So am I," Spike agreed,

"Yeah, I thought for sure it would sink into the water, can't believe it washed ashore," Starlight shook her head, "Shame really, had this guy attacked Ponyville Fluttershy probably would have tamed...oh Celestia no," Starlight covered her eyes when she identified a few masses moving around the dead crab, she had thought it was more seagulls, then she had actually looked at them and had met with the sight of several much smaller crabs, each about the size of a pony, huddled around their dead parent. The Trio was in silence for a fair amount of time, she heard a noise and looked to see her companions giving her puppy eyes.

"I guess we can interfere one more time," Starlight sighed.

A few minutes later

"I'm coming!" Fluttershy called, she had been getting ready for bed when her front door had exploded with noise, opened it expecting to see Rainbow dash and instead found 5 pony-sized crabs in her yard with a basket at her door, she picked up the basket, it was empty save a note she recognized to be in Spike's handwriting.

"Orphan crabs, parent killed by boat, sorry but your the only one we could think to come to,"

Fluttershy started crying.

"Oh, you poor babies!" the trio watched in silence as Fluttershy heard the babies up with ease and coraled them into her home, she popped her head out and called back "I overheard Twilight getting mad about you guys disappearing, just tell her you were helping me with giant crab babies as my thanks for your good dead," Fluttershy closed her door and set to work on the task of caring for giant crab babies.

"I freaking love Fluttershy," Spike said with a smile.

"One more time?" Trixie asked with a yawn "Like for real this time?"

"Yeah," Starlight and Spike agreed as the trio put their arms up

"ONE MORE TIME!"

a few minutes later

"Are you fucking serious right now?" Trixie asked as they looked at the view in front of them, they had returned to the drive-in movie for snacks and one last movie only to find the place was a huge mess, a group of 5 waiters trying to clean the place before their next show.

"How about we just leave?" Starlight tied, Spike and Trixie looked back at her and she sighed "we did forget to tip," she said in defeat as they set to work. The wait staff watched as Starlight and Trixie used their magic to clean the place up, meanwhile, Spike made his way to the mare who had been their waiter,

"Hey," Spike said getting her attention,

"Hey, I remember you guys you're the group that..."

"...forgot to tip," Spike said as he blew some green fire and pulled a bag of bits out of the air, he held out the bag and tipped most of its contents into the waiters hoof, "I can't help clean so I figure I should at least do that, what happened exactly," The waitress seemed to have lost her voice so one of her coworkers answered.

"Like 4 different gangs showed up for the same movie and...things got out of hoof," Spike looked back at the waitress who was staring at him in silence, the bits in her hooves having all fallen to the ground,

"Yeah ok," Spike said as he picked the bits back up and re-filled the bag "Here, just take the bags, should pay your rent for the next 3 months or some..." Spike was interrupted when the mare got closer to him, very close to him.

"You seeing anypony?" She asked,

"no?" Spike asked, the mare produced a marker and wrote her number down on his arm.

"Give me a call if you want to be," she said with a wink "I can get you into the movies for free," She gave him a peck on the cheek and took the bag, Spike stood in silence as she looked back at him with a grin

"Rarity be dammed," he decided as he gave chase.

an hour later

"Oh hey," Starlight said as Spike returned to his friends, after cleaning the mess and finding him missing they had decided to stay for the show, Spike looked like he had won the lottery. "What were you up to?"

"Nothin," Spike said dreamily.

"must have been some good ass nothin," Trixie replied as the trio sat back and watched their free movie before heading home for the night.

Should I write a short sequel featuring baby crabs and the Waitress?

also wow did I take my sweet ass time finishing this or what?

Because we can

Starlight was on her way back from the kitchen after popping some popcorn, it was her day off, and she planned to enjoy it, she popped a piece into her mouth and turned a corner, running into Twilight,

"There you are!" She picked up Starlight with her magic, and Starlight looked at the floor

"My Popcorn" She complained

"No time we're needed in Canterlot."

"But I..."

"No no, I mean, Me and the Girls, I need you to grade papers and make sure to protect the town if anything happens!" without waiting for an answer Twilight ran past her and out of sight

"It's my day off." Starlight whined "And I see it's going just like the last 5" she sighed as she made her way to Twilight's room, running into Trixie and Spike, both of who had been waiting for her

"You got the popcorn?" Trixie asked "Cause Trixie needs some"

"I need some more" Spike cut in, Starlight sighed

"Movie night's canceled, I have to grade papers for Twilight" Spike and Trixie looked at each other

"You agreed to do grading work instead of hanging out with us?" Trixie asked "Trixie is hurt"

"Well I didn't agree to it, she just ran into me and told me..."

"Then just don't do it," The two said in unison

"You agreed to nothing," Trixie said

"So you don't gotta do nothing" Starlight opened her mouth to reply, but failed to think of a comeback

"Good point?" Spike offered.

"Good point" Starlight agreed as she turned back around

"Come on, let's all get some popcorn this time" With that said the three backtracked to the kitchen, just as Starlight started popping the corn there was a commotion outside.

"What was that?" Trixie asked

"Not our problem" Starlight replied as she watched the popcorn pop, Meanwhile Spike looked out the Window,

"A Bugbear is destroying Ponyville again," He said

"This castle is 10 yards outside Ponyville's border, oh wait." Starlight lit her horn and off in the distance the school was protected in a barrier along with the castle "Now it's not my problem" she said with a shake of her head, "So what movie are we gonna..." With another explosion, the power went out and Starlight sighed, "At least the popcorn's popped"
Spike looked out the window "Wanna watch the Bugbear fuck up the town?" He asked, there was silence for a moment

"Trixie would like that" Trixie said joining Spike at the window.

"Oh no, we are not watching a Bugbear attack ponyville....threw the kitchen window, come on, to my room everyone, don't forget to bring a chair and a Drink" After a few minutes the three of them where all relaxing on Starlight's Balcony, watching the Bugbear as it picked up a building and threw it

"Think anypony will die?" Starlight asked as she sipped her drink

"Trixie once saw a pony fall off his roof and walk it off, pretty sure the ponies of this town have evolved to survive this kind of shit" Spike nodded

"Yeah, I once destroyed the town, and nopony died." Starlight looked at Spike in surprise when Trixie chimed in

"I know right, Trixie overthrew this town and threw all the slavery and impossible tasks nopony died, She was hoping those two dumbasses would have stroke's carrying her around, but no!" Trixie took a sip of her drink when Starlight cleared her throat, the two looked over at her.

"Are you both reformed villains?" She asked

"Yes," Trixie said

"I was only a Villian for a short time, but I guess I sort of am," Spike said before munching on some of his popcorn. as the three of them watched the Bugbear attack for a while, it suddenly turned its attention to something

"Aaannnd Their back" Spike said, "This is the point where we..."

"Let us go the beach," Trixie said "just pretend we weren't here"

"Good Idea!" Starlight said as she teleported the three of them far away,

A few minutes later

"This is nice," Spike said as he leaned back in his chair and traded Trixie some popcorn for a sip of her drink as they had each run out of the other. Starlight was looking out into the water as a Giant Crab attack a cruise ship

"What were the odds of teleporting to this exact spot," Spike asked as they watched the carnage.

"2 to 20" Trixie replied "Easy" as the trio watched Trixie spoke up

"So, do you think any of them will fight back?" She asked

"Maybe, but I'm sure that some pony will get hurt or killed"

"Probably not killed, never actually seen a pony die before tho, maybe we're all immortal?"

"Naw," The other two said in unison

"That'd be boring," Trixie said

"No drama in life" Spike replied as a Unicorn began attacking the Crab

"Hey! look at that mare! She's fighting back" Trixie said, "GO RANDOM PONY!" She cheered

"She can't hear you, Trixie,"

"I know, but It's fun to cheer" Trixie muttered

"How do you think it'll en..." Spike was saying when he and the other two all said

"Ohh!" as The unicorn blasted one of the Crab's eyes out

"Well, guess it's time for a new location" Starlight said as she teleported them away again.

A few minutes later

"Well I'm out of Popcorn" Starlight muttered as she teleported the tub away, "so what is this?" she whispered

"Some famous ponies wedding" Spike responded as the three of them sat awkwardly on a slanted roof watching a wedding

"Guess they can't all be hits" Trixie whispered as they watched the Groom give his vows "It's nice, but not enough action for my taste"

"Yeah, maybe something funny will happen if were patient" Spike replied as he and Trixie handed Starlight their empty containers to be disposed of, as they watched nothing too eventful happened

"Maybe if we actually knew them this would be rewarding" Spike muttered

"That might be the problem" Starlight whispered "One more time?" She asked

"One more time" The two responded as they were teleported away

A few minutes later

"This is fine," They all said as they sat in a burning building

"This is exciting," Trixie said, slightly pink thanks to Starlight's anti-fire spell

"Yeah" Spike replied, also pink "Tho I didn't really need the spell

"Better safe than sorry" Starlight responded as her chair collapsed beneath her, Spike and Trixie's chair's falling soon after.

"Think the floor will fall out beneath us?" Spike asked

"I dunno," Trixie said as a Crack appeared in front of her and began circling around them

"Well that's just not realistic" Spike muttered as it cracks around him

"Crappy effects" Starlight added as it came full circle and the three began falling to their deaths

"ONE MORE TIME!" They all screamed in joy and in a flash they were gone

A few minutes later

"Think they'll notice us?" Spike asked as they watched Twilight and Rainbow argue in front of Sugar Cube corner with Pinkie watching, eating popcorn

"If we give them long enough" Starlight replied, the three were now sitting on the roof of Sugar Cube corner.

"They can't have just disappeared!" Twilight yelled at Rainbow.

"We've looked everywhere, Starlight's not at the school, Spike's not at the Castle, and Trixie's not..."

"I don't care about Trixie"

"Bitch" Trixie muttered as Spike and Starlight patted her back

"We care," Starlight said

"We care a lot!" Spike added as the fight went on

"They have to be somewhere," Twilight yelled back, to the Side Pinkie noticed the Three of them on the roof and waved, the three waived back as Rainbow and Twilight continued yelling

"Well I looked everywhere, they're not here!" as the two shouted Pinkie went up to the roof with a pad of paper

"Popcorn and Drinks?" She asked

"Yes please," Spike said

"Wanna come with us?" Starlight asked as Pinkie handed out the Popcorn and Drinks

"No thanks, This is my favorite show," She said pointing at Rainbow "always full of excitement!" as the Three ate their snacks, Rainbow and Twilight yelled on

"Starlight isn't here, Spike isn't here, and Trixie isn..."

"I don't give a shit about Trixie!"

"FUCK YOU TO SPARKLE!" Trixie called back making the two stop and look up as the 4 above them ate their snakes

"Well this has been uneventful" Spike muttered

"and Insulting," Trixie said

"What do you two say?" Starlight asked the two looked at each other

"Where have you two been!" Twilight demanded angrily, the Three held up their hooves and claws respectably and yelled

"ONE MORE TIME!" And teleported away

"Huh?" Twilight asked as Rainbow shook her head

"Pinkie what happened?" Dash asked

"They're just trying to find something to watch" She replied as she ate some more popcorn and took a sip of her drink.
