My Little Pony: The Human Nine's Adventures In Equestria

Sarah's POV

Ah... Saturday, the best day of the week... in my terms. Don't mind me, I'm just training in my room with my power. I blasted some targets with my lightning blasts and some others with my fire blasts. Alright, good accuracy and good power. I have to be prepared for when I encounter him again and stop him from bringing forth the Great Fall... again.

Oh... did I say again... uh... just forget I said again.. sorry. Anyway, I coated my front hooves in my magic and punching the training dummy. Right hoof. Left Hoof. Right hoof. Left hoof. Good. Great accuracy and power, perfect. "Hey Newbie..."

Huh? I turned around and saw Jack, Ren, Jamie, Kaede, Carrie, Skye, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy in my room. "Oh... hey..."

"Training again, Newbie?" Jack asked me. I nodded, "Have to prepare myself for Void again.."

"But don't you have anything better to do....other than stress yourself to death?" Kaede questioned. Uh.... what do you mean by that? "Meaning....?" I trailed.

"What Kaede means is that you can't always stress about Void 24/7 for the rest of your life, Private Gem." Skye explained with a concerned look. "It's not healthy for you and you're starting to worry us."

I sighed.... I know they want to help me with Void... but he's my responsibly, not theirs.

"Look sugarcube, I get that you're all worked up over this Void fella, but you can't just stay in your room all day and train. You gotta hang out and have some fun." Applejack added with a small smile.

"Yeah, haven't you ever let loose before?" Rainbow Dash asked me, incredulously.

"As I said before, I'm not a fan of... 'fun'...." I replied.

"Well that ends today, Sarah. You need something else to take your mind off of Void." Twilight added.

"Yeah, you can't be a party pooper forever." Pinkie Pie added. "Then that frown will never be turned upside down."

"Look.... I know you guys wanna help me with Void, but-" I tried to say but Ren cut me off, "No buts Sarah, we know you want to handle Void on your own, but it's too dangerous for you to fight him alone, you almost got killed the last time."

"The kids' got a point." Jack stated. "That creep wants you dead by any means necessary and we are not gonna let that happen to you."

I sighed and lowered my head. Figured they wouldn't give up easily.

"Sarah, I know you want to stop Void, but you need to keep your mind off of him. Ever since your fight with him, you've been doing nothing but training and you've been nothing but gloomy and upset." Ren added with a look of worry on his face. "You need to take your mind off of him."

"How..?" I asked him.

"By getting your butt out of here and relaxing, Newbie.." Jack said before he picked me up, "H-Hey! Wait..!" I exclaimed in shock.

"Sorry Newbie, you're relaxing and we're not taking no for an answer." Jack declared and the group entered the elevator and Ren pressed a button and took us down. Sigh... Guess I have no choice.

to the pool area. Jack put me down, "Here you can try the pool for the first time since you lived with us, Newbie.."

I sighed again, "If I have too..."

"Great.." Ren smiled a little. "We'll get ready and meet you in there.." I nodded shyly and watched as the boys went into the the boys locker room while the girls went into the girls' locker room.

While they were doing that, I just walked over to the pool and stuck my hoof inside of it. Hmm... just a bit cold. I usually bath in lakes and rivers during my travels. I think my papas mentioned something about a pool being a place where people can swim and socialize... I think...

Anyway, I carefully took off my cloak and I went over to some steps that lead into the pool. I carefully walked down the stairs and waded into the pool. "Hmm... not too bad..." I said to myself.

I just swam around the pool, kicking my legs gently. "Nice swimming, Sarah.." Huh? Oh right, Ren and the others. I saw them in their swimming trunks and bathing suits and coming near the pool. "T-Thanks..." I said shyly.

“Yep!” Applejack nodded, sitting down on the lifeguard chair. “And I’ll be keeping an eye out for you guys just in case there’s no horsing around in that pool.”

“Of course you would.” Jack muttered in a deadpan look.

“Well either way, this might be a good chance to have some fun at least.” Ren said with a soft grin.

As well as Rantaro and Nicole, but you know those two…

“Don’t worry, I’m sure they would enjoy it.” Fluttershy assured, swimming by the pool side.

“Yeah…” Ren sighed.

“Actually, we can.” Huh? Is that…? The moment we turned our backs, we saw…

“Rantaro! And Nicole?!” It was them right there in front of us, and it would seem that they were wearing swim trunks like we are. Does that mean…?

“What brings you two here?” I asked them.

“Good heavens!” Rarity widened her eyes and looked over at them from her lounge chair. “I was sure you two wouldn’t want to join us in a little swimming considering you two being…antisocial.”

“Yeah, yeah, keep that Atlanta Georgia accent to yourself.” Rantaro hushed her, much to her annoyance.

“So wait, a-are you two joining us in on the fun?” Jamie asked in confusion.

“Yeah, so?” Rantaro asked.

“He convinced me.” Nicole answered bluntly, much to our surprise.

“So wait…Rantaro convinced you to come and enjoy our swimming meet here?” Twilight asked with an incredulous brow.

“I find it hard to believe.” Spike added, swimming in the pool with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.

“Yeah, since when the hell did Rantaro even cared about anyone other than himself?” Applejack thought aloud.

“Maybe he didn’t feel like being left out, along with Nicole?” Kodi suggested.

“No, I just felt like it.” Rantaro answered. “I overheard your little conversation about getting the mare to relax and not be so stressed all the time and thought that you all can’t have any fun without this guy.”

“I still find that hard to believe.” Jack scoffed.

“Yes, quite. He is lying about it.” Nicole answered with a nod. “His real reason was to try and spend time with you all.”

That caused a little twitch from his brow and gave her a scowl before saying, “And here I thought you couldn’t keep your mouth shut.”

“I was just saying.”

“Jeez, you two just argue like a couple.” Kaede said with a deadpanned look. Umm…I’m not so sure about that Kaede.

“So are you two gonna join us for the rest of the day?” Fluttershy asked curiously.

“Jeez, that’s what we’re saying, duh!” Rantaro scoffed. “It’s not like I have any feelings for any of you sore losers.”

“Hmph! Well I never!” Rarity scoffed, irritated by Rantaro’s attitude.

"Guys, no fighting.." Ren chided. Rarity sighed while Rantaro rolled his eyes.

“Well either way, I guess I’m glad to see you two here.” Ren said with a smile.

“Same here.” Kaede nodded in agreement. “I can tell you two are gonna enjoy swimming.”

“I rather not.” Nicole stated before she began walking towards the lounge chairs where Twilight and Rarity were sitting as she sat down on the middle one between them with her eyes gazing at the iPad. Of course she would do something like that.

“And if you don’t mind, I guess a little swim won’t hurt.” Rantaro shrugged before turning over to the pool and put down his fedora as Gizmo was near his shoulders. “So…what do you say? Or else you guys are too chicken?”

Jack gritted his teeth in anger towards Rantaro before exclaiming “Ooh! You’re so gonna get it!”

Jack immediately jumped into the pool, creating a big splash that neither Fluttershy, Spike, Pinkie Pie, nor Applejack could avoided, I protected myself with a shield spell, but the rest got went wet from Jack’s splash.

“I was being sarcastic.” Rantaro muttered while Gizmo shook himself, attempting to get all the water off his body before starting squeaking at Jack, like he was protesting.

“Ha! Whatever!” Jack toothily grinned while the rest of us either gave him amused looks or irritated frowns, which was mostly from Rarity.

“Jack! No splashing in the pool!” Applejack scolded, causing Jack to make an amused grin and said “Hmph! You’re not my mom!”

“Grr!” Applejack narrowed her eyes at him.

“That’s gotta be the biggest splash I’ve seen anypony ever done!” Pinkie commented. “You gotta teach me how to do that!”

“Hmph, I like the sound of that!” Jack smirked, which made the rest of us chuckled in delight.

I smiled a little, seeing them all happy together.... it still makes me feel guilty about lying to them.... one day, I'll have to tell them the truth....

"Hey Newbie, aren't you gonna have some fun?" Jack suddenly called, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Huh? O-Oh yeah..." I stammered before swimming over to them.

Ren and the others got into the pool and playfully splashed one another, while I just calmly swam around the pools' edges. "Sarah, stop hugging the edges." Applejack said. "That's not having fun in a pool."

"Yeah Newbie, stop being so careful and be reckless for once in your life." Jack added with a toothily grin.

"And of course you know all about being reckless, chubby." Rantaro smirked, earning a tick mark on Jack's head. Here they go again. "You are asking me to punch to in the face..!" Jack growled, but I blocked him by making a Pikachu out of water with my magic and placing it between them. "What the-?!" Jack exclaimed, shocked seeing the water version of my electric type partner.

"Pikachu..." it said before I made it float above his head and I stopped my magic, making the water splash over his head. Applejack and Pinkie giggled, "Now that's creative...!" Applejack giggled. Jack spit out the water, "Not bad Newbie... now its my turn.."

Jack swarm over to me but I swarm away from him, "Get back here.." she said.

"Try and catch me.." I smirked before I dove underwater.

Ren's POV

Haha.. look at that. Sarah actually having fun with us. Thought it would be harder for her to have fun based on her behavior lately, but I guess I was wrong. I saw Sarah dive underwater followed by Jack. Then, Jack came up, "No transforming, Newbie. That's cheating..!"

Transforming? What does me mean by-Oh... my... god.... Sarah came up in front of Jack as a certain seal pokemon. "Spheal, Spheal...." she laughed.

"What kind of seal is that?" Twilight questioned, confused seeing the round seal.

"That's a Spheal. The Clap Pokemon. A water and ice type." I said to her.

"It's so cute..." Carrie cooed, swimming over to Spheal Sarah. "Spheal Spheal.." she smiled... before she sprayed Water Gun in Jacks face. "Hey! No spraying me, Newbie!" Jack complained, earning a mischievous laugh from her.

"Haha... she's sneaky, I'll give her that.." I smirked.

Jack rolled his eyes at my compliment. Carrie let Spheal Sarah go and she changed back into her unicorn form.. and she actually smiled.

"Sarah... you're smiling..." I said with joy.

"Finally, Private Gem...!" Skye exclaimed, exasperated.

"Well I'll be." Applejack smirked. "Guess she's starting to loosen up a bit.."

Yeah, I guess she is. And I couldn't be happier for her. It was nice to see her not so serious and upset for once in her life. Sarah just needs something else to do while she stays with us rather than training and sleeping and to see her actually enjoying herself since we met her, it was great.

Sarah's POV

Okay...

I had to admit... it was... kinda nice having some...fun with Ren and the others. They showed me around the shopping district again where I was interesting in the electronics they had inside of there. I saw two phones with large screens. Ren said they were IPhone XS Max phones. I think I remember my papas having those kinds of phones.

So I decided to pick that one and a Microsoft Surface Pro computer. Granted that, I there's a chance I may not use them, but I have my magic to type on the phone and computer, so its fine. Next, I re-tried the ice cream sundae Skye showed me once. I was actually pretty good (but I picked the bananas out before I ate it). So, all in all, hanging out with my... friends was actually pretty... fun and relaxing, which I haven't felt in a long time.

Now, I was just walking through Ponyville by myself, just looking around at all the ponies going on with their daily buisness. I left Snowflake and Pikachu back at the home-ship so they could relax their own way.

"Woah...!" Huh? What's that? I looked up at the sky and I saw a loose hot air balloon with... Spike hanging onto it! How'd he get up there?!

Oh dear..! I better grab the little dragon before something happens.

I quickly galloped after the runaway balloon and Spike as they both entered the Everfree Forest. Twilight and the others told me about the forest, where it basically acts on its own. Nothing too scary. Clouds move and plants grow on their own and animals care for themselves. But it was still dangerous for a little dragon like Spike.

I entered the forest and looked around for any sign of the balloon or Spike. "Hmm... where'd they go..?" I asked myself. I couldn't see the top of the balloon through the treetops so Spike must have tied it up so it couldn't float away again.

But where....? I walked up a cliff overlooking the forest, seeing if I could spot the baby dragon. "YAAAAHHH...!"

Spike! I looked down from the cliff and I spotted Spike being chased by... three wolves made from wood. Timberwolves. Dangerous pack hunters of the Everfree Forest.

Anyway, I saw them corner Spike against a cliff!

Oh no you don't... I leaped down from the cliff and landed inbetween the wolves and Spike. "Sarah..!" Spike cried in joy. I blasted the wolves with my magic and quickly turned to Spike, "Run Spike!"

Spike nodded and he ran from the wolves. The timbeerwolves growled and snarled at me, for making them lose their next meal. "Big mistake, attacking my friends.." I growled before I unleashed my Roar of Harmony against them, blowing them deep into the forest. When I stopped, I smirked at my work and then Spike came running back,

"Wow, Sarah. That was amazing! You used your... whatever that was and blasted them away! You saved my life...." Spike said before he realized, "You saved my life...." and the little dragon hugged me. "Hehe, no problem Spike." I said and I went over to the balloon.

"So what were you doing out here anyway?" Spike asked me.

"I saw you hanging onto the runaway balloon and followed you out here." I explained, grabbing the balloon with my teeth. "Now come on.. let's get out of here..." Spike nodded and we all exited the forest and handed the balloon back to the respective pony.

"Well Spike, guess you better go back to Twilight, see you later.." I said as I started to walk away but then Spike came in front of me, "Sarah wait, please let me come and assist you?"

Assist me? "Assist me with what?"

"You saved my life!" Spike started before be belches out a small card with his picture and some words on it, "According to the "Spike the Dragon Code", I owe you a life debt and must serve you."

Serve me...?! "Umm... serve me until when... exactly..?" I asked him gently.

"Until the debt is repaid or forever." Spike said with a smile.

Forever?! Oh dear....! "Well uh...what about Twilight?" I suddenly remembered, "Doesn't she need you?"

"Oh right... guess I better tell her. I'll be back Sarah." Spike said before he went off to the Golden Oak Library... and then I teleported to the home-ship, surprising everyone. "Woah! Newbie, what the hell is up with the sudden entrance..?" Jack grumbled as he was eating a meatball sandwich.

"And why do you look so frazzled?" Kaede questioned, seeing my panicked look.

"Well..." I trailed off before explaining everything to the group, who were shocked.

"Spike is gonna serve me forever cause I saved his life?!" They all exclaimed in shock. I nodded, "Apparently its' part of his 'Dragon Code' and he must serve me forever or until the debt is repaid."

"Woah... that's unexpected." Ren said with a surprised look on his face. "A dragon life debt. Never heard of that before."

"Me either." Jamie added. "I've heard of life debts, but I didn't think dragons had them."

"Luckily, I reminded him about Twilight so maybe she can find a way to keep him with her, hopefully.." I smiled, hoping I was right.

"Yeah, there's no way Twilight would give up Spike like that." Ren reassured with a smile. "Twilight's practically his mother."

Knock Knock Knock...

I went to open the door and we saw Spike there, "Hey Spike, so what did Twilight say?"

"She said it was okay." Spike stated. Wait.. WHAT?!

"She did?!" Ren and the others exclaimed in shock. Spike nodded, "So, with Twilight's blessing, I'm free to follow my code and serve you until forever!"

"Haha... Great..." I smiled nervously. Okay... this won't end well...

Ren and the others pulled me to the side, "Guys, I can't keep Spike with me forever! He belongs with Twilight." I whispered to them, exasperated.

"This can't be right. Twilight would never give up Spike that easily." Ren whispered to us. "She raised him from an egg!"

"Corporeal Loodan's right. Something must not have been right when Spike told Twilight about this. We have to investigate this, maggots." Skye stated. "Corporeal Loodan, Privates Jamie, Ross and Yamaki, you're coming with me to Twilight's!"

"And who said you're in charge?" Rantaro grumbled. "Ren's the leader.." he added, pointing to Ren, who blushed a little. "C-Come on guys, again with me being the leader..."

"Whatever.. let's go you maggots." Skye stated and Ren, Skye, Jamie and Jack exited the home-ship to go to Twilight's'.

"So Sarah, what do you want me to do?" Spike asked. "I am at your service.."

"Uh... you can um..." It has to be something simple and safe for him to do. "You can um... g-give Pikachu a bath! Yeah, yeah, you can give him a bath..." I said to him with a smile.

"You're wish is my command." Spike smiled. "Let's go you guys..." and he zipped off to prepare a bath for Pikachu. Man, I hope Ren and the others figure out something. I can't keep Spike for the rest of my life. He belongs with Twilight and besides, I have Pikachu and Snowflake to assist me. I can't take him into battle again Void! No way! I've gotta get him back with Twilight. It's better his my and his sakes.

Ren's POV

We made it Twilight's Library and entered, "Twilight, are you in here?" I called out, but strangely enough there was no response. "Hey bookworm!" Jack called out but he got the same response. We all went upstairs and we saw her sitting at a desk with a stack of about eleven book beside her.

"Looks like she's been reading intensely, judging by those stacks of books." Jamie noted.

"Twilight..!" I called out but she didn't respond. "Twilight!"

"Hmm... let me try something..." Jamie said before he gently moved on of her ink fillers for pen ink.

"Wah!" Well... that got her attention. Surprised."

"S-Sorry, we didn't mean to scare you." Jamie apologized. Twilight turned around and stretched out. How long had she been sitting like this? "No, it's okay guys, I need to take a break anyway. What's going on?" she sighed.

"We know Spike told you that he was gonna follow his dragon code, and serve Sarah forever for saving him from these the timberwolves, and that you were okay with it, but–" I started to explain but Twilight interrupted with a shock expression, "Wait, what?"

I thought so...

"He said he told you all about it, bookworm." Jack said with a raised eyebrow. "I'm guessing you were a bit too into your lame books that you were distracted when he told you.."

"Um, maybe a little..." She bashfully admitted.

"Private Gem, knew you wouldn't have let him go so easily." Skye said to her. "So how are we gonna get him back to you. Can't you just talk to him about it?"

"Oh, guys, I wish I could, but this is dragon code we're talking about. Surely you know how important the dragon code is to a dragon!" Twilight empathized.

"Sarah's starting to." Jamie stated. "But Sarah doesn't want to keep Spike away from you forever. You raised him from an egg. He belongs with you, Twilight. Plus if Void attacks her again, Spike's life will be at serious risk. It's safer for him if he goes back to you."

"Hm, there's only one other way Spike is gonna fulfill the debt he feels he owes Sarah." Twilight stated.

"How?"

"Spike has to save Sarah's life in order to repay the debt." Twilight explained.

"But how is the tiny dragon suppose to save Newbie's life?" Jack said, crossing his arms. Twilight thought for a moment before she got an idea, "Meet me at Applejack's barn in a couple minutes, I'll get the rest of the girls." she said before she teleported off.

"And what plan does she have in mind?" Skye asked us.

"We don't know, but we might as well do what she says." Ren stated. "Let's go get Sarah and the others." The others nodded and we headed back to the home-ship.

Sarah's POV

Well okay, Spike had bathed Pikachu and now I have him brushing Snowflake; simple tasks, nothing too difficult for the little fella to do. I heard the door open and saw Ren, Skye, Jamie and Jack, coming back. "Hey guys.." I said, going over to them.

"Hey Sarah, we talked with Twilight and she says that Spike has to save your life in order to repay his life debt." Ren explained. "She has a plan and wants us all to meet up at Applejack's barn." I nodded and called to Spike, Pikachu and Snowflake. "Guys, we're going to Applejack's com on.."

"Coming Sarah." Spike said as he threw the brush to the side and we all exited the home-ship and made our way to Sweet Apple Acres. I hope Twilight's plan will work.

Sweet Apple Acres

When we got to Applejack's barn I had Spike find me a small rose in the field nearby while the others came with us inside the barn where we found Twilight and the other girls.

"All right, girls here's the deal. Spike needs to save Sarah's life to repay the life debt he owns her." Twilight explained. "So we're gonna-" then Pinkie interrupted her with a crazy idea. "Shoot her out of a cannon towards a hornet's nest and give Spike a butterfly net so he can catch her mere seconds before you hit the nest and are stung by a thousand angry hornets! I'll wear this mustache.

Twilight gently pushed Pinkie back, "No. We're gonna have Sarah be attacked... by a timeberwolf!" she exclaimed and the rest of us gasp. "Attacked by a timberwolf! Twilight, that's too dangerous!" Ren exclaimed in horror.

"Not really... we're going to fake a timberwolf attack." Twilight added. Fake an attack?

"How are you gonna fake an attack by a timberwolf?" Jamie questioned.

"We're-"

"Gonna have Pinkie Pie and Rarity will come running out of the woods, being pursued by the timberwolf. And Sarah will start to run but then pretend to get stuck and then Spike will come and help her dislodge it, saving her from the timberwolf and considering them even, right?" Nicole guessed, making Twilight blink twice in an awkward way.

"Yeah.... anyway, that'll be the plan." Twilight smiled.

"But how are we gonna get a fake Timberwolf, bookworm?" Jack grumbled, crossing his arms.

Just then everyone heard.. "En En..."

Huh? What was that..? We all looked and we heard giggling and saw a black and red fox coming out from the hay. "What the heck is that thing?" Rainbow asked.

"That's Zoura! The Illusion Fox Pokemon!" Ren exclaimed in awe. "Able to change its shape into whatever it wants to."

"Really?!" Skye exclaimed. The Zoura laughed before it flipped in the air, glowed purple and changed into Skye! "Wah! Hey! You copycat maggot."

"Copycat maggot.." Zoura said in the exact same voice.

"Okay, that's creepy..." Applejack said. Zoura giggled mischievously before he changed back into himself. "Looks like we have our fake timberwolf.." Twilight said.

Huh? That's actually a pretty good plan. "Alright, let's do it.." I smiled.

Later...

We were in a large clearing from the farm and everyone was in their positions for the plan. "Okay Sarah, we are all ready to play our parts, ahem, but are you sure you are ready to play yours, Sarah?"

"What d'you mean?" I asked Rarity confused. How could I not be ready to do my part?

"Show us your best "damsel in distress" move." Rarity stated, messing with her mane. Best 'damsel in distress move'? Umm...

"What's that suppose to mean?" Rarity comically fell down and then got back up, "Okay, this needs some serious work! Now, first, you must lift your foreleg up to your forehead, like so–" but as she was explaining, Spike came calling, "Sarah?"

Wah! Spike, "No time! Here he comes!" I hissed and Rarity went off to play her part while I called Spike over, "Uh... over here, Spike!" The little dragon came over and caught his breath, "I found this bright red rose for you." he showed me a large red rose that he put behind my ear. "Thanks Spike." I said.

"Anything else I can do?"

" Oh, yes, I, I was just hoping you could maybe, uh, sweep up all those leaves for a compost pile, and–"

Suddenly, a loud Timberwolf-like roar was heard and Rarity and Pinkie came dashing out of the forest, "Timberwolf!" Rarity sobbed, "We are doomed!" and Pinkie screamed as well.

Then a 'Timberwolf' came out and snarled at the two of us, "Come on Spike..!" I said as I began to run but I purposely got my hoof stuck in some rocks, "Oh no! I seem to have got my hoof caught in between two rocks! I cannot run away! I am a damsel in distress! Help me, Spike!" I called but Spike seemed suspicious about something, "Wait a minute."

Oh no..!

"No, no, don't wait a minute. Save me from the terrifyin' timberwolf!" I called to him, hoping he would go along with the plan. Unfortunately, no such luck, "Well, he would be terrifying if he wasn't a fake!" GAH! He went over to the 'Timberwolf', "You got the body right, the roar was spot on, and the detail on his face is pretty good. But you forgot one thing: his breath! You could smell a real timberwolf's breath from a mile–" as he was talking we both smell ed something really bad.

Bad breath... wait... Oh no...! "Too late, I'm already on–" then Twilight screamed and ran away and I heard Rainbow call, "Timberwolf!" and three real Timberwolves from before, that I had blown away, appeared from the bushes, snarling. "TIMBERWOLF!" Spike exclaimed as we both ran away but I skidded to a stop and charged the three wolves, "Sarah no!" Spike called but I lunged at the wolves, but the wolves dodged it and the lead wolf pinned me to the ground, "Hey! Get off me!" I grunted but the second wolf bit my right back hoof, "OW!"

"Sarah!" I heard Spike cry in horror, "Spike! You gotta get out of here!"

"But-"

"Forget your dragon code, GO!" I yelled at him, trying to fend off the Timberwolves. I managed to smack the third one and it leaped back before lunging at me but green fire blocked its path and the green fire struck the other two Timberwolves, forcing them off of me, "No! I have to save you!" Spike exclaimed, standing in front of me.

Spike...

Spike breathed his green fire at the three Timberwolves, making them snarl in dislike before they decided to retreat back into the forest! "Woah... thanks Spike.." Spike helped me to my hooves, "Come on, let's get out of here.." Spike said and we both quickly left the clearing and entered the forest. "What happened to you guys back there? Thought you were right behind us!" Twilight asked before seeing my bleeding hoof, "Sarah, what happened to your hoof!"

"Oh my goodness, let me see..." Fluttershy said.

"I kinda lunged at the Timberwolves and got overpowered by them." I admitted to them.

"Wait.. you were actually stuck?" Rarity asked, earning her a smack by Jack. "OW!"

"Yeah, but then Spike breathed fire on them and forced them to retreat back into the forest." I added. "He saved my life..."

"Awww... it was nothing..." Spike blushed.

"It was something alright! 'Course, I wouldn't needed help if I hadn't been trying to stage a fake timberwolf attack in the first place." I said sadly.

"Yeah, what was that all about?" Spike questioned us, confused.

I sighed and said to him, "I know this code thing's important to you, but if something like this comes up in the future, think maybe we can go back to my code, say "that's what friends do" and leave it at that? I promise I won't think of you as any less noble."

Spike smiled, "Sounds good to me. But, maybe let's just try to avoid situations where one of us actually needs the other one to save their life?" I chuckled, "You got yourself a deal."

"Come on, let's get your hoof fixed up, Newbie." Jack stated. I nodded in agreement and soon the others took me to Fluttershy's cottage where Fluttershy put antiseptic on my hoof to keep out infection and bandaged it up. "Thanks Fluttershy." I said.

"Your welcome.." Fluttershy said with a meek smile.

"Well, looks like the plan work... just not the way we wanted it too." Ren said, bashfully rubbing his head.

"Hehe, yeah." I said happily. I glad Spike is back with Twilight, its' where he truly belongs in Equestria.. with the pony who raised him and helped him become the dragon he is today.... and I couldn't be happier....

To Be Continued...
