Spikes Rare Candy
The library was always quiet whenever twilight left, whether it was when she went on a grand adventure after Spike gets a Letter with Celestia’s Seal on it, when she heads into town, or the farmers market. Which is the case today. Someone ate all the apples in the whole library and by someone I mean spike.
“You are a growing dragon after all” sighed Twilight as she tighten her bags getting ready to head off.
“Sorry Twi, I thought we had more apples in the back pantry” grumbled Spike, not too happy with Twilights tone on account it was a honest mistake.
“It’s ok spike” as she levitated a list of needed items into here pouch. “I needed to shop today anyway. I wonder if there are any good deals today.” Twilight then grinned and looked at spike while heading to the front door. “Maybe there will be a
traveling salespony with books I haven’t read yet.”
“Well, you have fun” said Spike as he walked Twilight to the door and pausing at it.
“If you’re going to get more apples at AppleJacks stand then could you grab some apple pies? You know there my favorite!” Spike yelled to Twilight as she was pretending not to hear him walking farther and farther down the street.
“Huh? What’s that Spike? Tell me when I get back, ok?” Shouted Twilight as she rounded the corner with a grin for teasing Spike.
“Oh Ha Ha Ha” muttered Spike as he slammed the front door to the library.
He slowly started to make his way to his bed hoping to enjoy this quiet time since he is done with his chores for the day. As he enters his little bed and closes his eyes it wasn’t long before he wouldn’t stop moving around, throwing his blanket off when he was to hot and on when he was too cold. After several minutes of this he finally gives up.
“Who needs sleep in the dead of day anyway” Spike thought. He then wondered around the living courters of the library and began to stop randomly and look around. He then started to close his eyes and try to the same so he could see where in the room he would end up. He was careful though no to hit a wall or anything else so he wouldn’t get hurt. After several minutes of this activity Spike opens his eyes with his head tilted upward.
He notice a box upon the highest shelf nearest the window. Spike has never seen that box before and wondered what could be inside. He hurried and grabbed a ladder to investigate. As he became closer and closer to the box he can see that it has had a lot of detail put into the box. It was just a little bit smaller than himself. It had a gemstone in the top middle part of it, which made spike hungry.
“I wonder who this belongs to.” Spike said as he noticed it had a keyhole right below the gem. Just as if he were a cat, Spikes curiosity got the best of him. He put one of his index claws into the hole to try and pick the lock.
Spike was looking away with his tongue out trying to feel for the inside.
“Ah common” said spike wanting to know what was in the mystery box if it were the last thing he did.
A sound brought spikes eyes to a glow as the box slowly lifted open. He took his claw out of the hole to lift the boxes head to see its contents, he was a bit confused. The box had 3 small potions varying in colors, 1 large potion with a light green glow, a jar with about twenty blue and yellow balls that look a lot like gum, and a stuffed doll similar to twilights Smartpants.
“What is all this?” muttered Spike as he picked up the light green colored potion. He gave it a sniff followed by the most discussed face Spike has ever made in his life so far.
“DEUUEAUGH” Spike yelped disgustingly. Spike was wondering why this stuff was here and who’s box this is. He soon came to the conclusion that the box is definitely Twilights, but why she had it and why she didn’t tell him was beyond Spike. A out stretched claw soon grasped the jar that contained the gum ball looking candy. He brought the jar close to his eyes to get a better look.
He soon found out that the blue gum looking candy say “AGE UP (+10)” and the yellow said “AGE DOWN (-2)." Spike thought “What would Rarity think if I were maybe ten years older.” Spikes face grew more happy as he thought about this plan and how he can play it off, but do these candy really make him age? Spike looked up at the clock. Twilight usually takes her time and talks to everypony.
Spike grabbed 2 more of each color just in case he gets caught and has to give them back. He ran down the latter and quickly ran to his bed to put the two under his pillow besides a picture of Rarity. He ran back up to the latter and the box to close it but when he arrived he noticed that the jar looked the same, as if he didn’t take any of the candy in the first place. He pulled another to test, and the jar filled back up.
“Magic refilling, age changing gum balls!” Spike said in a escalating tone of excitement . As he put the box back he slowly made his way back down the latter again and stopped in the middle of the room.
Spike took a long look at the candy and thought to himself “I hope this doesn’t hurt.” As he took a big gulp of the blue candy biting its warm center. Smoke started to come from spikes mouth and drifts around his body, he closed his eyes in embrace for what lies ahead. About thirty seconds later Spike opened his eyes to see that he was looking at the room in a higher perspective. He looked at himself in his mirror and started to pose in glee.
Until he heard a knock at the door. Spike thought in terror “is Twilight back so soon?” but he soon calmed down and remembered she had a key and never knocks even if she leaves home without it.
“Who could be at the door,” Spike wondered, He yelled “Come in.” in a much deeper voice than usual. He was looking down at his new feet walking towards the door which he heard open followed by a gasp for air. As soon as spike looked up he too opened his mouth in awe. The pony at the door was Rarity herself. She was levitating a book that look to be one that Twilight had lent her on Stitching. It soon fell to the floor as both stood there looking at each other. Mouth agape.
