Spike's new home

The next day at Violet’s house, Spike and Violet were just walking out of their rooms.

“Morning, Spike.”

“Morning, Violet.”

“How’d you sleep?”

“Great. So, what should we do today?”

“Well, I was thinking that we could go to Hybrid city today.”

“I like that idea, but I’m still thinking about if I want to become a hybrid.”

“Okay.”

“So, what’s for breakfast this morning?”

“Cinnamon rolls.”

“Mmm. That sounds tasty.”

“They are. I’ll let you know when they are done.”

“Great, I can’t wait to try them.”

While Violet was preparing her oven for the cinnamon rolls, Spike was reading his power ponies comics in the living room.

“What are you reading?” Asked Violet

“I’m reading one of the power ponies comics that I brought with me.” Replied Spike, looking up from his comic book.

“Power ponies?”

“They are a team of super ponies that fight crime in the city of Maretropolis.”

That sounds interesting. How many different issues do you have?”

“59.”

“That’s a lot.”

“What do you like to read, Violet?”

“Well, I like to read Space Wars. It’s about a group of ponies living with robots who fight to protect the galaxy.

“That sounds exciting. Maybe we could read it together.”

“Definitely. Maybe tonight even.”

“Maybe.”

“Anyway, the cinnamon rolls are done.” Said Violet.

Spike and Violet sat down at their table ready to eat the cinnamon rolls.

“You were right, these are so good.” Said Spike, having taken a bite out of one of them.

While they were eating, Spike felt that he needed to ask Violet something.

“Hey Violet.”

“Yes. What is it, Spike?”

“I know that you probably don’t like talking about this very much, but what exactly happened that you lived alone for most of your life?”

Violet stopped eating right after he said that.

Violet sighed, “There was a accident. My family and I were traveling to Hybrid city from another town. We came to an old bridge over a deep chasm. We tried walking over the bridge, but it began to break. There was only enough time for one to get across, and I was the youngest.”

Violet began crying again. “I had to watch as my family fell to their death, and now I spend everyday wishing that they were still alive.”

Spike, feeling sorry for Violet, got off his seat and moved right next to her.

“Hey, don’t worry, Violet. Your family may not be alive physically, but I know that as long as you remember them, they’ll never die.”

“Spike, I’m truly thankful for everything you did to comfort me. I’m really glad that I found you.” Said Violet, hugging Spike

“Me too, Violet, me too.” Replied Spike, hugging her back.

After hugging for 20 minutes, Violet and Spike finished eating the cinnamon rolls and started getting ready to go to Hybrid city.

As they were walking, Violet started thinking, “He’s really helped me get through my sadness. I should do something to thank him, but what?“

“Hey, Spike. What do you enjoy doing the most?”

“Well, I really like getting gem sundaes and eating them with friends.”

“That’s what I can, and will, do.”

When they got to Hybrid city, Violet asked Spike to get on her back and to close his eyes and cover them.

“What for?” Asked Spike.

“You’ll see.” Replied Violet.

Violet walked across the city to Dessert Diner.

“You can open your eyes now.” Said Violet.

Spike got off of Violet’s back and walked up to the counter of the diner with her.

“I’ll have two of your largest gem sundaes and a banana split.” Said Violet

“They’ll be ready in 3 to 4 minutes, you can sit down at one of the tables if you want.”

“Violet, what’s going on?” Asked Spike.

“This is my way of thanking you for helping me with my sadness.” Replied Violet. “It was the most thoughtful, selfless thing anycreature has ever said to me, and I’m not one to just say thanks and be done with it.”

“Thanks, Violet.” Replied Spike, hugging her again.

“You’re welcome, Spike.” Hugging him back and giving him a soft kiss on the forehead.

The treats came out a couple minutes later and they took them to the pond in the center of the city, which had a statue of a fox-pony.

As Spike and Violet were enjoying the treats, Spike was looking up at the statue.

“Hey, Violet. Who is that?” Asked Spike, pointing at the statue.

“That is Golden Soul.” Replied Violet. “She was the founder of Hybrid city, which had started as a simple village where hybrids lived. But soon, more and more hybrids came, slowly turning the village into a city. Hybrid city.”

“Cool. Is Golden Soul still alive?”

“No, unfortunately.”

“That’s a bummer, I really wish I could’ve met her.”

“I do too.”

“So, now what do you want to do?” Asked Spike.

“Well, there’s a arcade that I sometimes visit near here. We could go there for a while.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Spike and Violet dumped their trash in the garbage can near them before walking to the arcade.

“So, they have many different arcade games here. What do you want to try first?”

“Let’s do that one.” Said Spike, pointing to a dartboard.

“Darts. Okay.”

“I’ll go first.” Said Spike. He threw his darts and got 23 points overall.

Then Violet went and got 41 points overall.

They played 7 rounds of this. Spike won 4 rounds and Violet won 3.

They played a few more games before they left the arcade.

“Whew, that was fun.” Said Spike.

“You said it. We should definitely do that again sometime.”

“Hey, Violet.”

“Yeah.”

“I almost forgot to mention, it’s my birthday tomorrow.”

“Really!!” Exclaimed Violet with excitement.

“Yeah, and I’d like to have the Princesses, Apple bloom, Sweetie belle, Scootaloo, Twilight and her friends, and one other guest there. If you don’t mind.”

“Whatever makes you happy is fine by me, Spike.”

“Thank you. I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me since we met.”

“It was no problem. Now, ready to head back home?”

“Yeah, I’m getting kinda tired after everything we did today.”

Violet and Spike went back to their home for the night. They went to bed not long after because they had a busy day tomorrow.
