What To Do, What To Do?

Spike was sitting in his office, and he was board out of his skull. Nothing was happening today, no clients, no explosions, and worst of all, there was no Tempest. It's been a week since she joined DRAKE, and since then she was living in the training hall, trying to get ready for a job. "Coco, we get anything?" Asked the bored dragon through his intercom.

"Sorry Spike, today's an off day I guess." Said Coco.

Spike groaned, living your life constantly doing something, makes it hard for one to relax when there is nothing to do. "But I'm bored."

"Why not go for a walk then?"

"Too mundane, is there a war somewhere that I can jump in and take the win?"

"Nope, today, it looks like the world is at peace."

"But, I'm a villain, I can't allow that. Does New G have some new world destroying device that I can play with?"

"He's on a no dooms day device restriction because of last month, remember?"

Spike winced. "Right, 2 years of hard work, and he almost blows it all up in 20 seconds. Did Thorax ever get back about the invitation?"

"He has not."

Spike sighed in defeat. "You know what, I'm going fishing, if I'm going to be bored, then I'm going to be drunk and at least make it look productive."

"I'll message the harbor now, but please no mines or electricity, it pollutes the water."

"Fine, I'll do it the old fashion way, spoil sport." Spike walked over to his desk and pulled out a sign.

Out Fishing, be back whenever ~~I get a bite~~ THE FUCK I WANT.

Spike placed the sign on his desk and walked out of his office. "Coco, use the gem to contact me if something goes wrong, I want a front row seat to it."

"Of course, Spike, have a nice time."

Spike nodded and headed for the garage of the building. After breaking into Twilight's castle once, and never getting caught, Spike did it a few more times, and every time he went to the human world, he would steal some books from the library on cool and interesting stuff that he saw from before. So far, he's been in the human world a total of 8 times.

The first 2 were with Twilight, the 3rd time was to get the book about weapons, the 4th time was because he just wanted to see if it was a fluke that he was able to brake in at all. But on the 5th time, he grabbed more books, but mostly books on how vehicles worked and some magazines about super cars. The 6th time was to see if he could find some cool stuff on the internet, but instead he found that one of the computers wasn't wiped and some dumbass was downloading some inappropriate videos. Spike was a little creeped out that a kid was able to get past the school's blocker, just to watch some porn in the library. But he did find some of the positions interesting. So, the 7th time, he brought the whole computer back to let New G have some fun. Turns out, the only thing Equestria needed to make a computer, was a model to base it off of. That quickly changed the moment Spike found out that the school's computer was crap, so he made one last trip into the human world, just 2 months ago, and stole a computer store with the help of New G's devices and his fire breath.

But right now, Spike was going to grab something from the garage. Sitting in the garage was the first and only car in Equestria, powered by Spike's magical fire, and in no way street legal, this was Spike's car, a black 2020 Ford GT. Spike opened the door and took his spot in the driver’s seat. "Now for the fuel." Spike flipped a hidden compartment on the shifter and sitting in it was a device that converted Spike's fire into a liquid like fuel for the car. Spike licked his thumb and then blew some of his fire onto it. The whole thumb was now on fire, and once it was ready Spike placed it on the converter. He then heard the sound of the magical engine start. With a single flame, Spike could make it from Macro City to Canterlot, but he would need to do it in one sitting, because the magical fuel would evaporate after 12 hours. But for right now, Spike was ready to go fishing. Spike floored it and left his HQ, headed for the docks.


Meanwhile in Canterlot: Celestia was getting disturbing news about the state of Minotauria. "So far, all the conspirators that sided with the late prince have been found dead. We believe that it was the work of Astral Flare, Princess." Said a guard.

Celestia groaned. "I should have known that the king would have gone to Spike for assistance after we denied aid. Any word of Princess Bonneble's location?"

"Our scouts have her entering Macro City, along with Royal Guard Captain, Iron Horn, ma'am, but we see no sign of them leaving at this time." Said the guard.

Celestia rubbed her head. "That is just great, Spike now has the minotaurs on his side, and we still have no idea what he is planning." Celestia rubbed her head even more in hope of helping the headache. "Guard, I believe it is time that I make a diplomatic visit to Macro City." The Guard bowed and ran off to relay the orders. 'Ok, this has to be done by the book, Spike has many allies now, and if I do anything out of line it would look badly on not only me, but all of Equestria.'


When Spike arrived at the docks, sitting in the largest port was Spike's fishing boat. Well it was more like a yacht, because it was a yacht: a 72 meter, 6 cabin, 20 crew member yacht with a stunning swimming pool on the main deck, double-level main salon, cinema, large jacuzzi and fully equipped gym accompanied by massage and steam rooms, and after some changes, 3 fully stocked bars. And here was the best part, Spike actually bought this with his own money, well gems he stole from the Diamond Dogs, and sold to other kingdoms, but, he worked hard to steal all those gems. The crew was made up of employees from DRAKE as well, can't let an assassin kill you then dump your body in the middle of nowhere, can you. Spike walked up to his ship and boarded it. "Captain Ocean Blue?"

Soon an older Stallion with a sea salt beard walked out of the ship and smiled at his boss. "Mister Drake, I just got my orders from Miss Coco. How does an 10 hour trip sound?"

Spike smiled. "Perfect, how are the seas today?"

"A little choppy, but once we hit around 2 miles out, we should see nothing but clear seas."

"Good, has my gear been readied?"

"Just about sir, it will only be a few more minutes until we are able to set sail."

Spike nodded. "Good, I'll head to the bar and get started on drinking."

Ocean Blue gave Spike a salute and returned to his post, while Spike turned and headed for his fully stocked bar on the first deck.

When Spike walked into the bar area, sitting at a bar stool was the best bartender in all of Macro city, a cute 25 year old mare with whisky colored fur, cherry colored eyes and 2 jugs worth of jugs. This was Whisky Neat, and she was in Spike's opinion smoking hot. "Whisky, are you ready to let me do shots out of your tits?"

The mare giggled as she looked at Spike. "Sorry Boss, you know I'd only let a cutie like Coco do that. But for now, let’s see if we can get a drink in you?" Whisky then walked around the bar and gave Spike a smirk. "What can I get you Boss?"

"Dragon Fire Rum, I want to feel it in the morning." Said Spike as he took a seat.

"Sure." Whisky turned around and gave Spike an eyeful of her flanks, before grabbing a red bottle from the shelves. She popped the cork off and took a whiff. "Sheesh, this shit smells worse than my aunt's cooking." She then pulled out 2 cups and poured the drink. There were 3 jobs any bartender had, 1) Never let a drunk cause a ruckus, 2) Always serve the cute mares first, 3) listen to the drinker. But since she was a hot mare, she was able to drink while doing that. She slid Spike his cup and took a sip of hers. "So, it's been a while since you last saw me, how's life?"

Spike took his cup and gulped it down in a single second. Dragon's had a hard time getting drunk, mostly because they burn off the alcohol in minutes. "Not much new, got a mare, ended a tyrant, became the dragon lord again."

Whisky smiled at hearing that. "Is she hot?"

"Very, and she's open for some fun."

Whisky hummed. "Oh, tempting, let me meet her and we can talk dragon boy."

The ships whistle blew, and Captain Ocean Blue set sail for a great fishing spot he knew. "Well it looks like we're underway, so tell me about this mare of yours."


So after getting a solid buzz, and the ship was far enough out to sea, Spike and Whisky moved to the back of the ship. Spike headed for his fishing platform and Whisky walked to the second bar. Whisky walked to behind the second bar and prepared Spike's next set of drinks, while Spike took a seat in his fishing seat. At his feet were a few buckets of bait, night crawlers, giant worms, and parasprites: that one always got a laugh out of Spike, they would try and eat the fish, but that wasn't going to happen today. Spike strapped on his harness and grabbed the largest fishing pole he had, a massive 30 foot long pole with braided steel wire thread, and a hook the size of Spike's head. "Now for the bait?" Spike looked around at his buckets, and grabbed one of the large worms. He speared it through it's body and made sure it wasn't going to escape. "There." Once everything was ready, Spike used all of his strength and hurled the worm into the deep ocean. Spike took a seat in his fishing chair and Whisky handed him another drink. "Now we wait."


At the end of the day Spike had caught 4 sharks, 3 marlins, and a very pissed off sea serpent, but after explaining what happened, it decided to let bygones be bygones, and swam off, but not before Spike got a picture with him, and asked if he knew a sea serpent named Steven: he didn't. But after 10 hours and about 15 gallons of hard booze, Spike was exhausted and drunk, so Whisky and half the crew dragged Spike to his master cabin and tossed him on the bed. Ocean Blue turned the ship around and headed back to Macro City.

While Spike was asleep, he was too drunk to notice that the communication gem in his room was going off.


"Spike, pick up, you need to know about this!" Said a very nervous Coco, sitting on her desk was a letter requesting entrance into Macro City from Celestia Solaris, Princess of the Sun, Co Ruler of the Kingdom of Equestria.
