Spike's Fairy Tales

Spike groaned in pain as he was rubbing his head with a can...? Candle! The young drake lifted his arm and instead raised a white candle attached to a purple holder with a green flame jutting out. It was even more disturbing as the baby dragon squeaked bouncing backward only to hear a clunking noise like metal hitting wood. The little dragon hen cried in surprise to see his reflection in the mirror seeing how he was just a candle holder with his green eyes printed in the middle of the wax with a slim mouth for his face. The young drake looked down to see that there was a purple metal base where his body used to be, and he slowly raised his claw and gaped in horror seeing that what the reflection showed was true as it also turned into a candle as well. The little purple dragon gulped as he looked around and saw Twilight's castle had changed drastically which it now had a more gothic look. There were creepy paintings of old ponies in dated outfits and powdered wigs, A large canopy bed with velvet sheets was in the middle of the room, there were even stone gargoyles decorating the edges of the ceiling. The young drake turned to see that there was a fancy porcelain teapot with purple eyes with diamonds outlining her top and a smaller white porcelain teacup with pink swirls outlining the edge. Spike hopped over with a few clanks and asked, "what the hay is going on here? Why does the castle look like something out of a horror novel?"

The giant teapot turned around with a big smile. "Oh silly Spikey, did you forget about the spell Trixie placed on poor Iron Will?"

Spike still confused on what the teapot said who was evident by now that the teapot was a transformed Rarity. The young drake gave a small sigh and asked, "Look, just refresh my memory."

The teapot chuckled as the tiny teacup bounced spilling tea everywhere and chirped in Sweetie Belle's voice. "Spikey your so silly! How could you forget something like that! Even I know that story!"

Rarity reared around so fast spilling some black tea from her too, and her spout shot out some steaming hot tea as she scolded her sister. "Sweetie Belle that was quite rude! Now go along and serve yourself to the princess she should be awake by now."

The little teacup chirped, "You got it, big sis!" The tiny teacup skipped off humming to herself as Spike tapped his right wax candle to his chin and then a thought came to his mind as he suddenly shouted, "You don't mean Princess Twilight!"

The teapot turned around to face the odd candle as she gave Spike a strange look and asked in a rather suspicious tone, "who is this Twilight you speak of? You had better not have uninvited guests or the master will be quite angry with you."

Spike groaned as he grumbled, "nevermind, your memories have been altered as well...ok so I need to ask what happened? Tell me about what Trixie did?"

Rarity took Spike by his candle arm and lead him to the soft red seat and plopped him down as she explained, "Yes, I can tell you of what became of our poor master. However, its a rather long story and I would rather have us be comfortable as I tell it."

Spike crossed his candle arms and sat back and listened to Rarity's tale.

Iron Will who was now wearing a crown and sitting on his throne room. There was Spike who was in a butler's uniform, and Rarity was wearing a simple maid's outfit along with her sister Sweetie Belle. Applejack was wearing a maid uniform along with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom. Dr. Whooves and Big Mac were the only stallions in the great hall both of them standing by wearing fancy butler uniforms. Iron Will was quite furious for apparently no reason as he pounded a hoof on the ground. "Iron Will has decided that you all are too soft and you all need to learn how to be more assertive and not let other ponies walk all over you!"

They all shrug as Iron Will got up to a knock at the giant front doors. Iron will stand up and swung his cape. He stomped down to the door and swung them open to find Trixie wrapped up in a cloak hiding her face only letting her white mane down which was drenched and soaking with a pretty bad rainstorm pouring down. The shivering cold unicorn asked in a meek tone. "Dear prince Iron Will would you allow the meek and soaking Trixie into your castle. Trixie would like to be out of this terrible rain?"

Iron Will crossed his big arms across his chest and stomped a hoof down as he snapped, "Not a chance this castle is mine! I won't have any freeloaders just hanging around!"

Everypony in the great hall gasped at this and started taking notes Iron Will turned around and continued to lecture his staff. "Well, now, you see! Iron Will doesn't let anypony take advantage of him; you all can learn a lesson here."

Trixie, however, was quite persistent as she bowed before the prince and responded in pleading tone. "Trixie begs of you please let Trixie stay the night she shall even pay you for your hospitality."

Iron Will crossed his arms and shook his head. "Not a chance! Besides I heard of you washed out magician you're nothing more than a simple con pony if you ask me."

Everypony gasped and turned to see what Trixie was going to do next. The mare looked up with a menacing look. "You have done Trixie a great disservice, and now The Great and Powerful Trixie shall curse thee forever!"

Trixie threw off her cape, but she slowly transformed turning larger as her body became a dark shade of ourple with magestic green eyes. Her body legenthened as two leathery bat wings sprouted from her side. The meek Trixie was now the powerful and majestic Nightmare Moon wearing a bug long purple and black cape and laughing maniacally. "You fool has failed thy's test, and now thou shall be cursed along with thy subjects for all time!"

Not soon after Nightmare Moon's horn lit up with a powerful aura of magic. The ponies all slowly turned into objects Big Mac was gradually transformed as his legs and body became wood, and his body fluffed up like a plushie's morphed into that of a big red square becoming into a giant red pillowed chair, Rarity's body shrunk and turned into a shiny glass material as her nose became longer becoming her spout while her sister slowly transformed into a simple porcelain teacup with a frilly pink trim around her lip. Fluttershy straightened out and became rigged as her mane fell out and her tail poofed out into dozens of pink feathers. She shrunk down slowly into a feather duster with a yellow wooden handle and followed by dozens of pink feathers at the end, Pinkie pie clapped and cheered as she grew bigger and transformed into a giant pink oven, Rainbow Dash shouted hey while Scootaloo also straightened out and became an orange wooden broom, while Dr. Whooves slowly shrank as his body became wooden and his face literally turned into a small circle for a clock's face. The great Dr whooves was now reduced to a simple wind up clock with a big giant wind up key in his back. Applejack grew larger as her body morphed into wood and apples were carved all over its body as she became a wardrobe while Apple Bloom slowly morphed into a wooden dresser.

Iron Will morphed in front of all of them with his horn growing out longer his body became hunched and his hair bursted out in large bushels. He groaned as Nightmare Moon laughed maniacally as she rose into the air and flew off into the night.

Spike's eyes were wide-eyed after hearing the odd chilling story. The young dragon looked to the right or him spotting Applejack who was now a wooden orange painted wardrobe and looked across the room to see that Apple Bloom was now a bright yellow painted dresser and the big red sofa which was Big Mac. The drake gulped and then heard rustling from the bed as Rarity chirped, "well it’s about time the princess woke up."

An "Ey' yup then followed this." From the sofa making him squeal and he accidentally fell onto the hardwood floor below.

But he was then picked up by an aura of purple magic, and Spike knew whose it was and gasped upon seeing Twilight who's mane was now flowing around her head looking way more elegant than before. She was also sporting a simple blue-trimmed dress with white lacing and skirt with a white apron tied around her back. The mare turned around and with a big smile and chirped in a cheery voice. "Hey, Spike looks like you had quite the fall there! Here I'll fix you up!"

He groaned as she got out a rag and started polishing his metal base, and he grumbled, "thanks, I guess."

Twilight then placed him down on a table as she went about fixing her mane in front of a mirror.

As Applejack and Rarity both were giving her advice on what to wear and how she should look. Spike just stood there with a confused look on his face unsure of what was going on. Twilight slowly picked up Sweetie Belle and drank from the cup and smacked her lips as she gave a deep sigh, "aww perfect as always Rarity."

The mare hummed and placed the hood down as Sweetie Belle chirped no problem. "Now, I need to get going you know how Iron Will gets when I'm late to meals."

Rarity gave a nod as she waved a hoof and cooed, "of course darling but may I suggest that you should get dressed in something more fashionable. You know the master likes you in those fancy gowns."

Twilight dainty threw a hoof. "Oh, don't worry about me! I'll be wearing something quite fancy later besides Applejack picked this outfit for me isn't it cute!"

Twilight twirled around in her dress, and Spike made a bleh sound as Rarity sighed "whatever you say, darling."

Applejack then came to life and snapped, "oh yeah Rarity! Why would she need to wear some fancy dress to breakfast and risk it getting ruined this is a better choice!"

Rarity hopped over and scoffed, "but it's so rustic and plain! Honestly, darling, you could have done a better job in making look more presentable."

Apple Bloom chimed in. "Well, I got her some nice what call them bras and them fancy underwear?"

Rarity and Spike both burst into laughter, and even Big Mac chuckled at the response.

Twilight's face went flush with red, and she shuffled about and snapped, "hey Apple Bloom don't say stuff like that out loud!"

She grumbled walking away with a humpf and flicked her mane and was going down the stairs and they then stomped downstairs. Spike, however, hopped after her clanking down the stone stairs and shouted, "Hey! Wait for Twilight! Where are you going! I need to talk to you!"

Twilight turned around with a smile at Spike and cooed, "Whose Twilight? my name is Belle."

Spike rolled his eyes and shouted, "ugh, you lost your memories too just wonderful!"

Twilight picked up Spike the candlestick with her magic and replied know sweet tone. "What are you talking about it seems to be the only one whose has no idea on what's going on here."

The candlestick rolled his eyes as he bounced along after her and grumbled, "Fine whatever, look where are you going anyways? I don't know if this is the way to the dining hall."

The mare giggled dainty behind a hoof as she chirped, "You're going to have to wait and see!"

Twilight continued her decent as Spike bounced after her to the main lobby. They then looked around and saw a rainbow-colored mop scrubbing the floors grumbling angrily while an orange broom colored broom with purple bristles swept along after it. Spike eyed them knowing they were Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo and continued to follow the mare until they came two giant double doors. Twilight's eyes were aglow with wonder as she lit her horn. "Spike be prepared to be amazed!"

She opened the giant doors to an enormous library where a yellow and pink feather duster was going about dusting the books and shelves. It was massive with books going in an endless spiral. Spike's mouth was agape, and Twilight bounced over and began drifted the books around and squealed, "isn't it wonderful that the Beast lets us stay here in this awesome library!"

Spike gulped and quivered as he whimpered, "the beast?"

A bigger and scarier Iron Will with large scruffs of blue coats and giant curved goat horns with massive cloven hooves. Iron Will burst through the doors and roared, "Belle!!!!"

Sweetie Belle bounced into the library and chirped, "do you need me!

Iron Will scoffed " of course not sorry Iron Will meant I need Belle! Not Sweetie Belle!"

Twilight gulped and performed a curtsey with her dress and whispered, "what is it, Iron Will?"

The Beast stomped a hoof and shouted, "Iron Will wants you to come to breakfast now!"

Twilight gave a nod and responded curtly. "Of course I'll be there soon."

Spike hopped over with his flames shooting out like flamethrowers and shouted, "What the buck! you can't treat Twilight like this!"

Iron Will smacked him across the room and roared. "How dare you speak to me like that! Iron Will is your master now go and set our table, or I will crush you!"

Spike was quivering in fear as he got up nodding. The Beast stomped out of the library as Twilight rushed over to help the talking candlestick. "Spike are you alright I'm so sorry for what happened!"

The candlestick slowly got up and grumbled, "it's not that bad honestly I've been through worse."

Twilight hoisted up inspecting him and grumbled, "I swear, the Beast can be such a brute sometimes. Now, do you want me to take you back to my room?"

Spike shook his head. "No, I'm going to be wherever you go."

The princess gave a deep sigh feeling sorry for her friend, but she conceded, "alright, well don't provoke The Beast again. He is in a foul mood today."

Spike grumbled hopping onto Twilight's back. "Let's just get going then." The mare gave a small nervous nod before setting out of the library and back into the main hall.

The two slowly were now sitting across from Iron Will, and Twilight sat across each other as they ate it. The princess was looking depressed, and Spike had no idea what he was doing, or how this happened. But as it went on, Belle asked, "so how much longer will I have to be your hostage."

Iron will slammed a fist down on the table. "You have thirty years! That's how many years your father owes me for picking my favorite rose!"

Spike scratched the back of his head and responded, "seriously? All that for a rose?"

Iron Will roared, "It was a special rose! He had no right to pick it from my garden! I will tell you the story of how my rose was stolen!"

As Iron Will raged about some rose, Spike quickly bounced over to Belle and whispered, "pssst, hey Twilight."

The princess responded, "my name is Belle."

Spike dragged a claw across his face. "Alright, Belle look what's going on here?"

The princess rolled her eyes and replied, "didn't the Beast explain things? My dad picked one of his brute's roses and was held hostage, so I took his place."

Spike stepped back and replied, "seriously, when did that all happen."

Iron Hoof marched forward. "Only a few days ago seriously Spike get with the picture! now go on and wash the dishes!"

The poor baby dragon took the dishes away, grumbling under his breath. "I need to find out what's going on here and fast."

Later that night Spike was finishing cleaning Twilight's room with the help of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. The candlestick that was once a young dragon was lost in thought. Everypony he knows is talking furniture? Twilights is completely brainwashed? And was he there trapped in this castle with a crazy version of Iron Will? How were they going to get out of this situation! He continued storing away a bunch of dresses. That was when he turned to see her in a very beautiful yellow dress with big bubble sleeves and was unsure of every he was seeing. "Uh, Twi- I mean Belle what ya doing?"

Twilight smirked and replied, "oh I'm having a date with the Beast tonight. We're going to go out and dance the night away. It's going to be quite romantic."

Spike shouted, "wait you mean your dancing with the monster that's keeping you here!? why would you do something so stupid and not escape!"

Twilight shrugged, "well his library, of course. It's the biggest in Equestria and has the most collection."

Spike slammed a claw and shouted, "seriously!"

After watching Twilight and Iron Will both dance, they heard ponies outside shouting. They both came to the front doors to an angry mob with pitchforks. Twilight came forward and asked, "what is the meaning of this!"

The leader who was handsome Flash Sentry and shouted, "We are here to save you, Belle!"

The mare blushed and simply replied, "well, honestly, I don't think I wana be saved. I was having a lovely time exploring the Beast's grand library thank you very much."

The other ponies gasped as a hunk of a stallion that was Flash Sentry came forward. "But Belle, you were destined to be my wife! You must come with me!"

Twilight scoffed, "I'm sorry, but didn't we broke up? You said books were stupid and despite Iron Will being a brute he's way more literate than you."

Flash Sentry was taken aback by Twilight's response and stomped a hoof blowing smoke through his nose and roared. "Well then if I can't have you, no one can!"

He roared and charged at Iron Will with a pitchfork, and the two clashed on the bridge and then it one groaned falling backward into the river below, and Flash Sentry raised his pitchfork in victory. "We did it! the Beast has been vanquished, and Belle will be mine!"

Twilight got up seething from her nostrils and roared, "you may have killed the beat, but you won't dare touch his library!"

Before Flash Sentry could move a rumbling noise came forth from below, and a handsome prince he was tall like a white coated alicorn with a long and beautiful blue and gold striped mane and tail with a lovely sexy tuxedo and dashing blue eyes. This sexy stallion strode out from the depths of the river below. With a charming smile, he replied, "Thank you for saving me Belle, your love of books has turned me into a handsome prince!"

Spike and Twilight both went wide-eyed and shouted, "seriously!"

Spike was suspicious hopping over. "So...Iron Will was a prince this whole time but wasn't he always a minotaur!"

The prince gave a nod and explained, "Yes, that is true, but due to your love for books and knowledge. Your beautiful, literate mind has changed me forever.

He took the mare by the hoof. "Now my beautiful Twilight, would you marry me?"

Before the princess could say a word, Spike slammed his head onto the prince catching his coat on fire. He squeaked and started to roll around, trying to smother the flames. Twilight squeaked and had her hoof pulled by Spike who shouted, "come on we need to get out of here! We need to find a way to save our friends! Come on, this maybe our only chance to escape!"

Twilight blinked as she was unsure of her love for that big library was pulling her back to the gothic castle of the Beast. But this candlestick's his words struck a chord in her, and she gave a nod. "Alright, let's go."

She picked up the candlestick with her aura of magic and ran down the road. The prince reared up and shouted, "Everypony after those two don't let them escape!"

The angry mob roared and ran after the two chasing them to a sheer cliff with a waterfall pouring downhill. Twilight gulped turning backward and exclaimed, "we...were going to jump!"

Spike gulped and replied, "we don't have a choice you can fly right?"

Twilight whimpered, "I...I forgot! I didn't have to use my wings that much!"

Spike sighed, "Then we need to jump now!"

Twilight squeaked and threw herself off the cliff, and as they sped to the ground, they tore through a page tearing it open into a black void.
