The Scrapbook

The magical carriage was still taking the duo of Pinkie and Spike home when Pinkie blinked and poked her brother.

"It's not time for season 2 yet right?" She questioned, Spike thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"No, I'm pretty sure Discord was at the beginning of Season 2 why?" Pinkie stared at her brother for a moment before he blinked.

"Oh hey," he said as he looked around "Were in another story," Spike scratched his chin in deep thought before turning to his sister and saying with absolute certainty "I don't know what's happening," as the Duo pondered why they were in another Spike Pie story that wasn't the direct Sequel Pinkie got a random Idea, a Plot related idea.

"Spike I got it!" She cheered shaking her brother with gusto as she declared "Let's Show Maud, Marble, Aloe, and Lotus our Scrapbook!" Spike looked at his sister for a moment as she continued to shake him before smiling and shaking her back.

"You mean the one we filled with key moments from our childhood? Moments that were skipped over in the original because the author didn't know what they were doing back then?" The Duo, now grinning ear to ear, were even more pumped to get home than they already had been and began making plans on were they should start and if they should tell the stories in any particular order, in their excitement they ended up breaking the logical flow of the story and jumped ahead so that they would already be home 10 minutes ahead of when they should have been. Much to the surprise of Limestone, who had refused to go to the gala, but had been won over in spending the night.

"Where did you two come from?" Limestone demanded as the two popped out from behind the counter of Sugar cube corner.

"Questions later," Pinkie said "Limestone can you wait outside for the others to get here? We have a surprise in store,"

Limestone shook her head, not one to question her odd sibling, and waited outside, by the time their guests arrived they had already polished up their plans and were lying in wait as Limestone opened the door and entered with the group from the Gala, as soon as Lotus closed the door behind them Spike appeared and locked it, making the Spa pony jump in shock and getting the others attention as he made sure the sign was switched to closed and turned happily back to his friends and family.

"Guess what time it is!" Spike said as he squished his own face and rapidly jumped from foot to foot.

"Time for Something absurd?" Limestone asked with a sigh as Pinkie slowly rose from beneath one of the booths and tapped it, revealing it had been set up with drinks for the party, resting on the table was an old book. Maud was the first to make it to the table and her expression did not change in the slightest as she looked at the book.

"Wow," she said, her voice as dull and uninterested as ever "I haven't seen this old thing in years,"

"Mmm," Marble said excitedly as she took her seat, Spike slid out from under the table and took the spot next to her. Limestone and the Spa twins looked at the cover of the book, it was a picture of the pie sisters with Spike floating above them with the aid of a few balloons.

"Isn't this your old Scrapbook?" Limestone asked as she sat next to Maud, who had taken resident next to Pinkie on the table. Lotus looked mildly upset she didn't get to sit next to Pinkie, Aloe was already seated and as close to Spike as she could get. Lotus took the last open space next to Limestone and Pinkie turned the book so it was facing her.

"Behold," She said as she waved her hooves over it dramatically "Me and Spike's Scrapbook of Memories!" There was the sound of a slid whistle and Spike was instantly caught blowing into it. "Spike you were supposed to play the Xylophone,"

"I told you I don't have one," Spike shot back "Rainbow took it away when I figured out how to play the Song of the Rain and kept causing cloud bursts,"

"Oh yeah, a hefty loss, but it was worth it, really made our Rainy Day Party perfect," Pinkie put her hoof over her heart and sighed, there was a long moment of silence as the remaining Pie sisters and the Spa ponies looked at one another and their hosts, suddenly Pinkie reached beneath the table pulled out an origami Ninja star, and threw it at Spike, it crumpled against his nose.

"Why?" Spike demanded.

"Play a more ominous instrument,"

"The only other musical instrument I can use right now is a Banjo,"

"Spike, continue with the ominous whistling!" Pinkie said without skipping a beat, once Spike continued blowing into the slide whistle Pinkie continued talking "Within its pages are pictures, lots and lots of pictures, of all the stuff me and Spike have done basically ever," The whistling stopped and Spike added.

"Except for the Galla, those Pictures are still developing in the Party cave,"

"The what now?" Limestone asked.

"Forget about that, we'll explain it in one of our stories of the past," Pinkie said as she waved to Spike and he continued whistling "Anyway, within these pages are so many stories, stories some of the residents of this table might know, but none of these stories are known to all 5 of you," The whistling cut off and Spike added.

"Except that time at the spa, and the Gala when we added in,"

"Spike I won the Origami contest, I get to be the narrator," Pinkie said angrily as she threw another Ninja star at Spike, Spike retaliated by throwing an Origami Ninja star that fell to pieces before it even got close to Pinkie, "See, your Ninja stars keep exploding before they can touch anything,"

"Pinkie," Limestone said before Spike could defend his exploding origami ninja stars "Can we just get on with this,"

"Just let them have their fun," Maud replied casually "They just went to the Galla, I told you on the way here they were gonna be filled with too much energy to sleep tonight,"

"Maud I will not argue with you in front of our siblings and their dates,"

"I'm not arguing, I'm just telling you why it's pointless to tell them to, just get on with it, as you say,"

"If I don't say something they'll start making Origami Ninja swords and other Origami Ninja stuff,"

"Spike I just had an amazing Idea for a party," Pinkie said instantly "Origami Ninja Party,"

"You're just fueling their flames," Maud pointed out casually, the sound of suppressed chuckling could be heard and the table turned its attention to Marble, she looked at Spike and pointed at their sisters.

"Mmm," She said with a smile, earing a Grin from Spike and a frown from Limestone.

"No," Limestone said turning to Pinkie "You do not have pictures of that, there's no way!"

"Your right Marble," Spike said as he started chuckling to "Hey Pinkie, pass me the book, I know what story to start on," Pinkie slid the book to Spike and he flopped it open to the exact page and smiled as he presented it to Pinkie, who grinned when she saw it.

"Alright Lotus, Aloe this is the story of..."

Author's Note

Before you start worrying, nearly every Story in this...story, is based on something said to have happened in the past during the Spike Pie story, from things mentioned multiple times, to one-off jokes.

That Time Maud and Limestone had a Fight

It was a clear sunny day on the Rock farm and both Cloudy and Igneous were out working the fields. Pinkie was upstairs with Maud in her room as the two worked on what Pinkie referred to as her greatest creation, a Cannon for Parties. Maud found the idea somewhat silly but was willing to do anything to get away from Limestone.

Spike and Marble were sitting outside while Limestone did her best to try and teach them how to play chess, a game she didn't fully understand herself, but she was more than willing to learn if it helped her get away from Maud.

"And I think this castle tower-looking piece goes here," Limestone said as she slowly set the piece in place before looking back to the book she was looking over, Marble was too young to read it and Spike was too far behind on his schooling. "And it can only go in...straight lines?" Limestone reread the line and shook her head "Well that's stupid but ok," Limestone looked back to the book as Spike and Marble looked at the piece on the board and then each other.

"Mmm?" Marble asked, Limestone looked at the piece in the book and after a moment of reading nodded.

"Yes, says here it can go sideways and backward, so long as it's in a straight line,"

"How far can it go?" Spike asked, as Limestone looked that piece of info up Pinkie handed Maud a wrench.

"I'm not a mechanic," Maud said as she looked at the wrench "But I don't think this is a screwdriver Pinkie," Pinkie tapped her chin with her hoof and began digging into the toolbox again before pulling out a Hammer and offering it to Maud, "Also not a screwdriver," Maud noted as she took it and set it on the ground with the wrench, Maud waited patiently as Pinkie dug around in the box and produced a Monkeywrench. "Also not a Screwdriver," Maud said patiently as she took it and set it down and Pinkie dug so far into the toolbox that her front half ended up all the way inside it, Maud waited as watched as Pinkie pulled out of the box with several tools stuck in her mane. She took the handle of one and removed it. "This is a screwdriver," She said showing it to Pinkie, Pinkie leaned her head over and all the other tools flooded back into the box. "But it's a flat head, we need a fillips head,"

"Who's Fillip?" Pinkie asked in confusion "And why do we need his head?"

"he's a screwdriver," Maud said simply as she showed the end of the screwdriver to Pinkie "And the end of his head looks like a plus, this one is a Minus,"

"Oh," Pinkie said as she reached into the box and instantly pulled out a Fillips head "This one?"

"Yes," Maud confirmed as she exchanged the Flathead for the Fillips "Now we just need to tighten the screws and we can..." Maud sighed as she looked out the window where Limestone was trying to help out Spike and Marble. "...go outside and test it,"

"Yay!" Pinkie squealed as she jumped around the room, while Pinkie celebrated Maud tightened the screws.

"Alright, we can maybe put something like a flower over the wheels to hide the screws, but before we do that let's go make sure the wheels actually work right," Maud began rolling the cannon to the stairs before sighing, "Pinkie why don't you go outside and find a good place to test it while I get it down the stairs," Pinkie zipped down the stairs and was out the door the second Maud finished speaking, "Should have done this on the first floor," Maud said with a sigh.

Pinkie shot out of the front door and slid to a stop, before bouncing around, excitedly looking for a place to set up and test her new cannon. Spike, Marble, and Limestone all looked at her and Limestone sighed as Spike and Marble continued playing the game with some success.

"Hey, why don't we move the game inside?" Limestone asked as she got to her hooves "you two pack up, I'll clear a spot on the table for you," Spike and Marble looked at each other, then the chess board, and proceeded to attempt picking it up without disturbing the pieces set upon it, only for the board to fold in half and send the pieces scattering around the ground. Limestone chuckled as Marble and Spike scrambled around trying to pick up the pieces and Made her way into the house, and immediately bumped into Maud rolling out the Party Cannon, the two froze, staring at each other in silence.

Pinkie made her way other to Spike and Marble and helped them gather their chess pieces when it started.

"Do you mind moving," Limestone asked.

"Oh...I'm granted the honor of hearing your voice again," Maud noted with a dull note of sass in her voice.

"Only until you let me through, after that not until you apologize," Limestone replied curtly. Maud frowned at her sister and stood her ground.

"I'm not going to," She replied "I didn't do anything to apologize for," The look on Limestone's face made the three younger siblings abandon the chess pieces and back away slowly.

"Nothing....Nothing wrong?" Limestone practically screamed back "I don't ask for much Maud, in fact from you I only asked one thing, same thing I ask from everypony else in this family, Do. Not. Touch. Holder's Bolder!" Maud looked back at her Older sister, who was practically foaming at the mouth.

"It's just a rock," Maud replied "Don't you ever...think about how ridiculous this is,"

"Your just going through a phase," Limestone shot back "I would know I went through a similar one when I was younger, The family doesn't expect you to live on the farm forever Maud, but we give rocks the respect they deserve, There our food, our source of Income..."

"They're just rocks," Maud shot back "And that Bolder is just that, A Bolder that one of our ancestors named, there's nothing special about it, it's just a Stupid hunk of..." There was a loud smack as Limestone struck her sister and froze instantly. Spike, Marble, and Pinkie all stared wide-eyed at the scene.

"I didn't mean to do that," Limestone said instantly, Maud said nothing and instead tackled her older sister, Spike and Marble stared wide-eyed as their siblings began fighting and Pinkie shot off into the fields to find either Igneous or Cloudy to break her sisters apart.

The Fight itself wasn't all that much of a marvelous sight, just to sisters smacking each other across the maw and kicking each other's stomachs as they rolled around the ground. Spike and Marble followed as they began rolling down the path towards the Quarry and looked over the edge as they fought their way to the bottom, Limestone had a black eye and a busted lip, Maud was missing a tooth and an equally busted lip, they both were covered in scrapes, bruises, and cuts from the rocks they had rolled over on their way to the bottom.

The Two broke apart when they hit a particularly large gem and began dodging the other's strikes while trying to hit each other. Spike and Marble rushed down the Quarry path to watch the fight and ended up falling over each other and landing flat halfway down with Marble landing on top of Spike. Spike pushed her off and got to his feet to keep watching the fight only for him to fall back down as Marble pulled his tail and sent him tumbling over, she rushed to get back to watching her sisters fight only for Spike to return the favor and pull one of her legs, as the two got back up Marble looked to her fighting sisters and then smiled before turning back to Spike and slapping him.

"Ow!" Spike whined before slapping her Back.

"Mmm!" She complained before giving him another smack, the two very quickly began smacking at each other only for a powerful voice to cry out and stop both of the fights.

"What is going on here!" Igneous cried out as Cloudy rushed down to Spike and Marble to pull them apart, as they instantly began smacking at each other the second they thought the other wasn't looking. "What are you all doing?" He demanded as he made his way down to the quarry path with Pinkie watching from above as Ignatius put his anger on hold to help his daughters get back up the Quarry and help his wife split Spike and Marble apart as they were both determined to get the last slap.

"Why are you two fighting?" Pinkie asked in confusion, her question going unanswered as she joined her family in going to the hospital to get Maud and Limestone both cleaned and stitched up.

"Seriously," Pinkie questioned as Spike finished the story, "Why were you and Marble fighting?"

"She started it," Spike shot back.

"Mmm," Marble said indignantly.

"I did not pull your legs first, you pulled my tail, didn't you hear the story,"

'Mmm,"

"I would never tell a story wrong," Spike said as he got up, Marble doing the same, only for Limestone and Maud to both glare at them. They both backed down, hands and hoof up showing they were backing down.

"We were just copying Limestone and Maud," Spike answered "At least I was, though it would make me look cool,"

"Hmm," Marble replied with a smile.

"You didn't look any cooler than I did," Spike replied.

"My," Lotus said in shock "The Pie Family really doesn't hold back against their own do they?"

"Me and Pinkie were just venting...with violence...and nails," Spike rubbed his arm at the memory of the time he and Pinkie had started fighting after trying to party less. "But anyway yeah, that was the story of the time Limestone and Maud got into a fight," Spike looked at the scrapbook and began flipping through, as he did so Maud and Limestone looked at each other, Limestone giving her sister a smile.

"I told you it was a phase," She noted with a chuckle.

"You weren't wrong," Maud agreed as Spike turned to Aloe, who was staring at him, and quickly snapped her vision to the table.

"Well I picked a story, is there any story, in particular, you wanna hear about Aloe," Aloe was silent for a moment.

"There is something I heard about in passing a while back and was...always curious about," She whispered to Spike who smiled, flipped through some of the pages, and shrugged at Pinkie who stuck her tongue out.

"I get to read the next one," She complained.

"Alrighty, guys this is the story of...

Author's Note

This is a reference to something Pinkie and Spike said in Spike Pie Chapter 16 Forgiveness

That Time Spike set the school on Fire

Spike and Pinkie both looked equally board as they made their way down the dirt walkway that led from the rock farm to the nearby town. Pinkie had a Saddle bag on her back and Spike had a small bag.

"Limestone doesn't have to go to school," Spike muttered as they walked the path.

"She dropped out to work full time at the farm," Cloudy replied as she walked with her two children. "But Maud still goes to school, even though she loves working on the farm she plans to leave one day, and you two will need to have some book smarts and not just rock smarts if you want to leave the farm when you're older,"

"When can we drop out," Pinkie asked with puppy eyes.

"Not until your old enough to decide for sure if being a rock farmer is what you want to be," Cloudy replied sweetly, "Most jobs require you to be more than big and strong like your Dad and Me," Spike and Pinkie groaned and Cloudy sighed "Come now, this is your first day...ever, you might like it,"

"I'm not liking the walk," Spike complained, with Pinkie agreeing. The two continued complaining the entire way to the school. Cloudy however was never put off by their comments. She only had one worry on her mind, and that was how Spike would be treated. She and Ignatious had worked themselves half to death and in the end, it had been only been thanks to Limestone that Spike had even been admitted to attend. The Closer they got to the school the more worried she became about how her son would be treated.

"Now Spike..." She said, both Spike and Pinkie groaned and replied before she said anything.

"If either of us is in any way mistreated we'll tell you the second we get home," They said simply. They continued on their way and finally arrived at the school, where they found a fair number of colts and fillies waiting to enter the school, its playground consisted of a very large Sandbox and that was it. Spike and Pinkie waved goodbye to their mother and walked up to school. Spike being a Dragon, and Pinkie already having her Cutie mark got a lot of attention from the other children. In both a good and a bad way.

"Is that your pet?" one of the colts asked.

"I am not a pet," Spike said defiantly, only to be poked in the side by one of the colts.

"Your squishy," He complained "Dragons are supposed to be hard, not squishy,"

"I'm young, Spike retired as more of the Colts started poking him, while Spike was being bombarded with pokes Pinkie was being questioned about her Cutie mark.

"It's for partying," She said happily.

"That's boring," one of the girls scoffed "I want mine to be a book so I can be a famous Author"

"I want mine to be in flying so I can be a Wonderbolt," Spike and Pinkie both attempted to back away from the rest of the children when the bell rang and they started rushing in to meet the teacher. She looked somewhat tired and seemed less than happy about her choice of jobs, without hesitation once the children filed in she spoke.

"Dragon, your seat is in the back right," Spike looked to where he was directed and found a single chair and desk in the back right, with twice the space between it and other desks than the rest had. Spike was not deterred by this in the slightest and made his way over to the seat, the teacher assigned other seats and Pinkie ended up in the front left corner, as far from her brother as possible. The seating arrangements were halted when one of the fillies complained when she realized she was next to Spike.

"Why do I have to sit next to the Lizard?" She complained "It's all gross and scaly,"

"Imagine how I feel having to sit next to you," Spike replied happily.

"None of that," The Teacher said, turning away from the Filly and to Spike "Listen here Dragon, we ponies live in harmony, so I'll not have you starting a fight even if it is only in words,"

"But she-" Spike attempted.

"I don't care," The Teacher said cutting him off before Pinkie Raised her hoof.

"I'll sit next to Spike,"

"Fine, trade," The Filly happily made her way to the left-most seat while Pinkie zipped to her desk, the force of her taking her seat sliding the desk so it was closer to Spikes.

"Don't move the desk, it's a fire hazard,"

"Harsh," Spike said.

"This is the first day and you're already on your second warning Dragon," The Teacher added before going back to assigning seats.

"What is happening?" Pinkie demanded.

"Third warning, one more and you'll be suspended Dragon,"

"Wha! That was me!" Pinkie complained angrily, the Teacher didn't reply to her and continued assigning seats. Spike just happily waggled his feet under his desk as the teacher wrote her name on the chalkboard and began their first lesson, the Alphabet, Spike spent most of his day trying to get the writing right, Pinkie, however, was busy trying to stop the other children from messing with Spike.

One of the Colts took the straw from his juice box and tried pegging Spike with a Spit wad, only for Pinkie to throw her binder, intercept the wad in mid-air, and have the Binder bounce off the wall and into her hoof. The Teacher trend to the noise and found nothing out of the ordinary, she sus[isiously looked towards Spike before going back to the board. Pinkie proceeded to stop 5 more spit wad attempts, a colt throwing bits of eraser, and even a paper airplane that was thrown at the teacher from the back right, knowing full well she'd just blame Spike and call it a day. When it came time for playtime the children were sent outside to play in the sandbox. Spike and Pinkie sat in the corner and could hear some of the ponies talking about them. One of the Colts finally made his move and walked up to them.

"Your not a very impressive dragon," he said sticking his tongue out "You have to have a girl protect you,"

"All the girls in my family can break rocks just by punching them," Spike replied simply "Except for Pinkie, she can fly with Balloons, I can too, just not a well, and since I don't have a Cutie mark I won't be strong enough to break rocks for a long time, so it makes sense to me to have my sisters and mom protect me, oh and my dad, he can punch rocks too," Spike smiled, having completely missed that the Colt was trying to insult him. The Colt tried again but Pinkie cut him off before he could really start.

"Let's go play by the schoolhouse," Pinkie decided as she shook the sand off her hooves "Sand isn't all that fun when it's dry," Spike followed his sister and sat next to the schoolhouse, leaning up against it and looking up at the clouds. As they looked at Clouds Pinkie kept an eye on their classmates and found a few of them pointing towards them and smiling, they had a look in their eyes she didn't like.

"Spike, stay here, I'm gonna go investigate," Pinkie slid away and Spike wished her luck, looking up at the clouds to look for fun shapes. Pinkie stopped sliding once she got to the sand and walked up to her classmates.

"Need something?" She asked.

"No, we're all just talking about how much school sucks," one of the Fillies said with a groan.

"Yeah, I should be at home playing with my toys, but instead I'm here, playing with sand," one of the Colts said.

"That's why we're going home," the first Filly said.

"You can't just go home," Pinkie replied with a chuckle "Your parents will just bring you back,"

"Not if there's no school to go back to," The Colt replied as he pointed over to Spike, Pinkie turned and found a Unicorn and a Pegasus talking to Spike, the Unicorn lit his horn and plucked a feather from the pegasus and, without warning, shoved it into Spike's nostril before running away. The Effect was immediate and Spike tried to pull it out and instantly sneezed, he did what his parents always told him to do and aimed it at the ground, where it coned out and began eating at the wall behind him along with the grass. Spike shook his head with a few tears in his eyes and sneezed again before wiping his nose.

"Spike!" Pinkie cried out "The School!" Spike blinked and looked behind him, letting out a yelp as he jumped away from the flaming schoolhouse, just as the Teacher screamed from inside.

"DRAGON!" She burst out the front door and looked back at her schoolhouse before turning to Spike with a look neither he nor Pinkie had ever seen before, absolute furry.

Maud rushed to the schoolhouse, having been the only Pie family member in town she had lept out of her class when she saw the First-grade school burst into green flames. she came to a halt outside the partially burnt Schoolhouse where the teacher was yelling at the Firemarshal and a single Police officer.

"...I'm sorry ma'am," The Police officer said "But we have several claiming the Dragon had a feather shoved up his nose, we can't just arrest it,"

"My schoolhouse is destroyed," She said angrily, "I want that Dragon in chains, the chains it should have been put in when it was found, it's a dragon, a wild animal, not a child,"

"Oh yeah," Maud said bluntly "I remember her, she was always on about Spike when she found out about him," She slightly moved her eyes a sign of serious danger to any who knew her. "I'm gonna go punch her," she made her way up to the Officer, Firepony, and Teacher.

"You!" The Teacher said angrily "That wild animal your family pretends to be a child burnt down half my school, you and your sisters should all be taken away from them for endangerment! If you Pies had just acted like normal ponies and gotten rid of that thing when you found it-" Maud slammed her hoof into the Teacher's face, knocking her out cold.

"Just try and arrest me," She dared with an angry tone. the Officer backed right up when he saw an actual expression on Maud's face.

"No thank you," He Officer replied instantly.

"I think she hit her head in her panic over the fire, I'll take her to the hospital to have her checked out," As the teacher was dragged away Maud walked behind the school and quickly located Spike and Pinkie sitting away from the rest of the children. Pinkie had very clearly thought of a solution to the sneezing and stuck to it as she was currently sitting on Spike's shoulders holding her binder like a weapon, waving it at any of the remaining children who came close to her or Spike.

"I have my eye on all of you," She said "No more feathers are getting past this pony,"

"Maud," Spike cheered with a wave before, his ears giving away he was upset "I learned half the alphabet,"

"I learned how to knock a paper airplane out of the air without alerting the teacher," Pinkie added with a wave.

"Hi Pinkie, Hi Spike," She said, back to her blank expression and Monotoned voice, "I think it's time we go home,"

"Great," Pinkie sang out "Come on Spike, let's blow this popsicle stand!" The Three made their way to the Road when the officer stopped them, shaking slightly.

"Um...Maud," He said, terror in his voice and face when she looked at him "I'm sorry to say...but even though he was forced to do it because he was the source of the fire your brother can't go to school here anymore," The Officer turned tail and ran away.

"Bold of you to assume I was gonna let him come back," Maud monotoned back to the retreating officer.

"Man, that guy must really like education," Pinkie said, "Did you see the look on his face? He looked like he was about to cry," Maud motioned with her hoof and they headed back to the Pie Family rock farm, wondering how to tell their parents about what had just happened.

"So it wasn't your fault?" Aloe asked, Spike just shrugged at the question.

"Not entirely,"

"How did you know about me punching out the teacher?" Maud demanded.

"That officer and I are friends now," Pinkie replied "Spike and I have planned his sons every birthday," Maud blinked as she remembered something.

"Hey, I have a story request,"

"Maud!" Spike and Pinkie cheered "Lay it on us," Spike leaned over Aloe, who shivered as he put his hand on her shoulder and listed to the request, giving a big smile at the question.

"Oh, I was hoping one of you would ask for that one," Spike quickly flipped the pages and showed it to Pinkie.

"Oh, our first recent story," She cheered.

"Alright, This is the story of..."

That Time Spike and Pinkie Met Bellow Bloom

Pinkie was skipping happily through the streets of Manehattan, on her back was Spike, who was looking over a checklist.

"Alright, I think we've done all our parties for the day," Spike groaned "And we don't have another one scheduled for an entire week,"

"This sucks," Pinkie cried out "Nothing to do," She gave a sad sigh and saw a little bit of grey out of the corner of her eye "Spike that better not be the Maud Puppet," Instead of Spike's voice Pinkie heard Maud's Monotone voice reply.

"You know you love the Maud Puppet," Pinkie turned to look at a Hand Puppet in Maud's image, wave its hoofs around at her "I love you Pinkie," Pinkie smiled at the puppet before angrily snatching it from Spike.

"Who taught you to do that?" She demanded, Spike just smiled at her. "Spike I swear to Celestia, stop abusing your powers of Maud!"

"Never," Spike whispered back as he held up his hand, showing he had the Puppet back, making it wave at Pinkie.

"What?" Maud demanded, making Pinkie and Spike stop their story.

"Maud you're supposed to wait until we finish the story to talk," Pinkie complained.

"No I'm with Maud," Limestone interjected "Since when can Spike do a perfect Maud Impression,"

"Since the middle of last year," Maud's voice replied, Maud, turned to Spike, who was proudly holding up his Maud Puppet, who was peaking out from beneath the table and waving its hoofs around.

"Spike we talked about this last year at Hearts Warming," Maud said with flat ears.

"Talk about what!?" Pinkie demanded "You two never told us what happened upstairs, tell us that story,"

"No," Maud Puppet said "Ignore me, get back to the story at hand,"

"Spike Stop," Maud demanded flatly.

Spike continued using the Maud Puppet until he saw a very sour-faced Pony with the most majestic of mustaches hobbling towards them on a cane. Maud Peppet seemingly vanished as Pinkie and Spike came to a stop upon seeing the Sour-faced pony wave them down.

"Excuse me," he said in the saddest tone either of them had ever heard "Are you Pinkie Pie and Spike Pie?"

"Yeah, that's us," Pinkie merrily replied as she squished his face "Why are you looking so down?"

"Oh, that's just what happens when you get older," He replied with a sincerity that hurt, "Regardless, My old Foalsitter told me that the foal he currently sits for was recently at a party you two through,"

"I'm interested," Spike decided "Do go on,"

"I would like to hire the two of you to plan my Birthday, It's short notice seeing as it's in only two days but I do hope-"

"Done," Pinkie replied as she squished his face again "I would never deny such a sad-looking pony a party, We're gonna throw you the best party you've ever had!"

"Wonderful," The pony replied before making a hat-tipping motion, even though he had no hat. "I am Bellow Bloom, If you could be so kind I'll take you to my estate so we can begin planning," Bellow hobbled past them with his cane and they spotted his back leg or more accurately his lack of one, In its place, just below his knee, was a wooden peg leg. Pinkie skipped behind him, making sure to move slowly so as to not pass him. After about an hour they arrived at a large mansion.

"Do forgive the mess," Bellow said as he poked at some trash littering his yard "My son Ocean has begun hosting parties for his new frat brothers" Bellow shook his head "I was far too kind to him when he was a child, spoiled him rotten is what I did, paying for it now I suppose," Bellow lead them to his back porch and to his fairly large Backyard. "This is the spot,"

"Entire Backyard, porch only?" Spike inquired as he began writing a checklist.

"Your welcome to the entire yard, front and back," Bellow replied "But I would like the cake and presents to be here,"

"Alright," Spike nodded his head "Theme? any colors you can't stand? How do you feel about Bouncy Castle?"

"Would you be opposed to a waterslide?"

"A waterslide?" Bellow questioned with a raised brow "Wouldn't I need a pool for that to work?"

"How would you feel about us installing a pool?" Spike asked.

"My young dragon," Bellow said "If you can install a working pool before my party you have my blessing to include a waterslide, a bouncy castle, you can do anything," Pinkie and Spike froze.

"You mean to tell us," Pinkie said, in disbelief "That if we add a pool, we can just do anything?"

"Indeed ma'am you can," Bellow said with a nod, "Now if you'll excuse me I have some work in town, I should be back in a few hours," Bellow tipped his fake hat at them again and hobbled away. Spike and Pinkie looked at each other, then the yard.

"Spike measure out an area for the pool," She demanded as she put a construction helmet over he head "I have some parts to get,"

Bellow Bloom hobbled his way up to his house, looking sad as ever as he went to check on his party planners, upon rounding the corner to his backyard his eyes went wide when he saw the large pool that was now in his back yard, Next to his porch was a small above ground pool where Spike was standing, looking in. Pinkie popped out and took a deep breath.

"Adjust it by about 20 degrees, this is a lukewarm tub, not a Hot one," She noticed Bellow and waved.

"We installed that pool you asked for," She waved "The Water slide should be arriving in a few minutes, we'll have it installed before nightfall," She turned her head to Spike "lower it 7 degrees it's a little too hot now," Bellow Bloom just stared out at his lawn, his jaw lose as he looked at the pool in disbelief when a pony in a vest walked up.

"Excuse me I'm looking for a Mister. Pie?"

"That would be I," Spike called back.

"I have an order here for a small roller coaster?" Bellow Bloom's ears shot up as Spike slid down to the pony.

"Ah yes, we're going to be setting that up in the front yard, follow me please," Bellow sat down, not knowing how to react to what was happening around him.

"I know," Pinkie called back "But two days isn't a lot of time, we have to go with the small one, next year we'll have it go all around your house!" A Mare with a shader hat walked up.

"I'm looking for a Miss. Pie?"

"Oh, are you delivering the inflatable Velcro climbing wall or the pulse-sized Moon Bounce?"

Bellow Bloom looked out at his yard, His party was set to start in under an hour, There was a Velcro Climbing wall and a Moon Bounce near the left cover along with a Gazebo with a Soda Machine and a Coffe pot inside with Collectable cups stating the owner had attended Bellow Blooms 42nd Birthday Party. The Pool had two different Water Slides, and had a large wrack of Flooties next to it, along with one shaped like a cartoony flower that had Birthday Bloom written on it. There was a Banner over the hot tub that was now next to his Porch Wishing him a happy birthday. a long table had been set up for the presents, some of his family and friends who couldn't come had sent their presents in the mail, and Spike and Pinkie had already set them up on the table. On the other side, there were two large Cakes, one had a little statue of Bellow with a party hat topping it, and the other didn't have one.

In his front yard was a small Rollercoaster that went around in a circle, a Claw machine with little Bellow Bloom plushies inside. And the area next to his home had several tables set up next to a large Buffet, and several ponies in uniform were walking around running certain parts of his party.

"It's such a shame," He said with a sigh as he shook his back leg, his Peg leg tapping against his porch "Can't swim anymore, and far too sharp to bounce with, I might get to enjoy the roller coaster but the rest..." Bellow gave a sad sigh when Pinkie came skipping up to him, Spike was sitting on her back holding a large present. He expected them to take it to the table, but they instead brought it straight to him.

"Here you are," Spike said as he set it down "The final piece of your party," Bellow looked to Spike, then the box. The sticker on it informed him that he had to open it before the party, He unwrapped it, expecting to find something along the lines of a silly hat declaring him as the birthday boy, and instead found another box with a note. He held up the note and read it.

"Congratulations, you have been selected to receive our newest line of cosmetic limbs, not set to release for another year, this new limb comes to you due to a recommendation from the Element of Laugher and a dragon with a very convincing Puppet act. Enjoy your new Leg, Mr.Bloom," Bellow Bloom looked at the card before leaning down and opening the box, finding a Prosthetic leg in the shape of his old leg. Bellow didn't say anything as he picked it up and instead hobbled inside with it on his back. Pinkie and Spike waited in excitement until they heard it, slow at first, but picking up in pace very quickly. A very loud and echoey laugh filled the party. And then he exited his house. No longer hobbling but practically skipping.

"I can feel!" He sang out "It's like it's my actual leg!"

"And it's soft to the touch, and had water-repellent spells built into it," Pinkie added.

"So you can bounce and Swim!" Bellow let out a hearty laugh and pulled the two in, Smiling brightly.

"I'll be recommending the both of you to all my friends and family," He sang out.

"Oh, who cares about business," Pinkie shot back.

"Yeah," Spike agreed "That Bounce castle is just screaming for you to give it a whirl!"

"I'll race you both there!" Pinkie declared.

"Pinkie old Girl you are on," Bellow cheered "Come on Spike, our you're going to be eating my dust,"

"You'll have to pass me first,"

"Atta boy old chap, atta boy" The three all laughed as they ran for the bouncy castle.

"That explains why he was so fond of you two at the Gala," Aloe said with a nod.

"Yeah," Maud agreed "But Bellow Bloom aside I want to talk about this Maud Puppet," Spike just looked over to Maud and the Puppet's head popped up from beneath the table.

"Spike I will slap you," Pinkie said angrily only for Limestone to hold her arm out in front of Pinkie.

"Spike, Limestone said turning to her brother "Explain,"

"I'm sorry Limestone, but..." Spike shrugged "...I just woke up with it on my hand one day and I've just rolled with it ever since,"

"Spike you know how creepy that sounds right!" Pinkie demanded, "That puppet is haunted or something, You can't mimic Maud unless you're wearing it, and I saw it waving its hooves when you wore it on your tail!"

"Pinkie I once pulled a Bathtub out from behind my back while flying in the air," Spike said simply "Making a Puppet move with my tail is not that hard, and I can't do a Maud impression unless I have something, Maud like to focus on,"

"Spike," Maud said getting his attention "I wanna talk to you in private about that later,"

"Ok," Spike said happily.

"What do you mean ok!?" Pinkie demanded "I demand answers,"

"Respect my secrets," Maud Puppet said, waving its hooves at Pinkie, Who threw an origami Ninja star at it in response.

"Alright," Limestone said "Let's break this up, Pinkie I have a story request," Pinkie leaned in and Limestone whispered in her ear.

"Spike you and I are gonna have to tag team this one," Pinkie noted.

"Alright, This is the story of..."

Author's Note

"Don't worry everyone the Maud Puppet will Return in Spike Pie Season 2,"
"Wait What!?"
"Bellow Bloom will also Return, but you already knew that! what you didn't know was that-I know you all loved the Maud Puppet" -waves hoofs-
"Spike put that thing away!"

That time Aloe and Lotus met Pinkie and Spike

Pinkie groaned as she and Spike made their way down the street, Spike was attempting to float above her with the help of Balloons but was low enough that his arms were dragging in the dirt behind him.

"How many more do we have scheduled?" Spike asked with a yawn, both he and Pinkie were a terrible sight to behold, Spike had a crack in his scales running down his back, and Pinkie was coated in dirt. In her hooves, Pinkie was crossing out the name Bulk Biceps off her List of Ponies to throw parties for.

"In retrospect, weighted volleyball was doomed to failure," Pinkie groaned as she shook her head, exhaustion etched all across her fail.

"At least Bulk seemed happy," Spike replied, he attempted to look up at the list but with a loud crack, he went back to limply floating. "Good thing it was just us three or we could have gotten sued or something,"

"Spike I can't believe I'm saying this but, that was the worst Party in the history of Parties, and we threw it, I think we're losing it,"

"Maybe we just need a vacation," Spike suggested "We haven't stopped partying since we moved here, 4 months is an impressive streak but I can't remember the last time I slept,"

"I think it's time we cash in our emergency ticket," Pinkie decided as she looked up at the sky "It's only 11 so we should have plenty of time, Spike let's go to that Spa and just try everything,"

"I'd pull the bits out of the air but my everything hurts after getting pegged with that 80-pound ball so you're gonna have to do it this time around Sista,"

"Come on Spike, Spa Day!" Pinkie grabbed Spike and tossed him over her back, his Balloons flying away once he was situated and she rushed for the Ponyville spa. Coming to a full stop and changing her pace to a slow trot once she arrived and opened the door. Pinkie had seen the two ponies who ran the spa around ponyville before and had even seen them attending some of her parties, but today would be the first time she actually met them personally. The Blue one was running the front desk when Pinkie walked in. She looked up at the door, back at the book before her, before looking back up with a bemused look.

"Oh, your Pinkie Pie," She realized "You that Party mare who hangs out with that Dragon,"

"That Dragon has a name," Spike declared as he made his presence known "And it's Spike," His name declared Spike went back to being a limp noodle on his sister's back.

"Oh, I'm sorry," She said "I am Lotus Bloom, how may I help you today?" Pinkie looked at her for a moment before looking at Spike.

"Do you have like a menu or something?" Pinkie asked nervously "This is our first time in a Spa and we don't really...know what you offer,"

"Oh of course," Lotus reached beneath the Spa's front desk and, after some rummaging around, pulled out a pamphlet and offered it to Pinkie, Spike got off her back so he could properly read it and heard a sound of concern from Lotus.

"Oh my," She said as she looked at the cracks running up and down his back "Are you alright?" Spike responded by trying to stand up, a loud and painful crack made Lotus wince and Spike's pain was evident on his face.

"Not even a little," He cried back as he crouched over and did his best to stand on all fours to avoid aggravating the crack on his back, giving him to look of an aggravated cat as he and Pinkie examined the Spa treatments available.

"Let's see 30 bits for a manicure, 40 for use of the steamer, oh a herbal bath for 10, maybe that'll help your back pains," as Pinkie and Spike tried to decide what to do first the 2nd of the two spa ponies made her way to the receptionist area, her face glowing red.

"Sister you left the steamer on full blast again," She said with a sigh before stopping in her tracks upon seeing Pinkie and Spike. "Sweet Celestia, it's Pinkie Pie and the Party Dragon,"

"My name is Spike," Spike called in response "How does no one know my name? I've lived here for 4 months and am very active around town,"

"Ponies know your name," Pinkie replied "Just not ponies you've never talked to,"

"They know who you are," Spike shot back, Pinkie just nodded.

"Yeah, that's just pony politics,"

"Pinkie I was raised by ponies, and that still makes no science to me," Pinkie just scratched his head.

"Your just mad about your back pains, you'll understand once we've soothed your pain," Aloe walked around to get a look at Spikes back and proceeded to silence the Pie twins with a single sentence.

"I can fix that for you," both Spike and Pinkie looked at her in a moment of disbelief.

"You can fix that?" Pinkie asked in shock "I've lived with him my entire life and we've never fixed the cracks, just wait for new scales to replace the broken ones,"

"I am a Spa pony," Aloe said simply "But I specialize in all creatures, unlike my sister who only does ponies I can also do scales and high maintenance feather groomings for Griffins,"

"That's for calling me out," Lotus noted from behind the front counter.

"I wanna hear the story behind that," Spike decided before making a wrong move punctuated by the painful crack.

"Oh that's really bad," Aloe noted "No time to waste, stay like that for too long and we'll have to remove the entire outer layer of scale around the problem area so it'll heal properly," Aloe walked up to Spike and offered him her back, Pinkie slung him over gently and watched as her brother was carried away.

"So," Pinkie said turning to Lotus "You have a steamer?"

"Why yes, but it's probably far too hot for use if I left it on...again, If you like I can offer you a hot rock massage for..." Pinkie instantly cut her off.

"I don't care about the price, take me to this rock massage," Lotus pulled out a sign notifying all of the staff was busy and had Pinkie follow her into the spa. Spike had been laid belly down on a fully reclined chair, his body laying flat Aloe pulled out a jar of cream.

"Close your eyes please," Spike did as he was asked and she dabbed it around his eyes before pulling some cucumbers out of a mini-fridge and placing them over his eyes. She quickly rinsed off her hooves before inspecting his back. His scales were all scuffed, some dented, several chipped, and she could see a spot where a broken plating had improperly set.

"When was the last time you used scale polish?" She demanded.

"I use shampoo and conditioner," Spike replied casually.

"You don't have fur or a mane," She replied as she took a step back "Honey your scales are in terrible shape, your lucky they didn't crack sooner," Aloe muttered something that went unheard when Spike heard a less than appealing sound.

"I'm not gonna like this am I," He asked with a groan.

"No, but in about a week, once the scales have regrown, you'll be thanking me,"

"How bad?" Was Spike's only response.

"You're about to get the dragon equivalent of waxing," Aloe replied simply "Only it's going to be a lot slower,"

"Bring it on," Spike decided as he braced himself for the pain.

Pinkie let sighed as Lotus placed hot rocks on her joints, as she let the rocks do their magic Lotus got to work heating up another few rocks so they weren't too hot or too cold.

"I can't believe I never thought of this before," Pinkie said as she looked at the rocks being heated next to her "So what else do you guys have here?"

"We have seaweed wraps, pedicures, a hot tub, a steam room, mane stylings, massages of all kinds, Aloe can do Acupuncture, we do waxings although it's not a very popular activity, we do herbal baths, face masks, and...." Lotus tapped her chin "That's everything I can name off the top of my head,"

"Oh, I wanna try a seaweed wrap after this,"

"Of course," Lotus replied simply "But we are going to have to charge you in advance," Pinkie Pulled a large bag out of seemingly nowhere and jangled it.

"Just name your price," She declared as she opened it up and showed it was full to the brim with bits. Lotus stared blankly at the large bag of bits before composing herself.

"Is....is there anything else you want after the seaweed wrap?"

"I still wanna use the streamer but I can go with a dip in the hot tub first, maybe a pedicure and a face mask, oh and a mane styling!"

"Absolutely Ms.Pie, I'll draw up your bill and we can get started,"

"Please, call me Pinkie, no one in my family likes being called Ms or Mr."

"Of course Pinkie," Lotus replied with a smile.

Aloe inspected Spike's back and nodded as she lightly touched the pink skin beneath his scales, after a moment of Spike showing no signs of discomfort she nodded.

"You should be good to stand up now Mr...oh I'm sorry I never got your last name,"

"It's Pie, Spike Pie, but please don't call me Mr.," Spike got to his feet stood up straight and his happy face was all Aloe needed to tell her she had done well. "Man it feels super weird," Spike said as he patted his exposed back "But I have a giant turtle shell from last Halloween, I'll just rock that until the scales grow back," Spike stretched, lumbering up after all the time he had spent unable to stand up properly. "Thank you so much Aloe,"

"No problem," Aloe said "Now if you'll follow me we can pay your dues, and-" Aloe was cut off when Lotus rushed in the door.

"Sister I need to speak with you now," She said with a serious tone, Aloe blinked and then pointed to Spike.

"I am helping a customer, can it wait,"

"Mr.P-" Lotus cleared her throat "Spike, your sister will be staying with us for a while," Lotus handed Spike their menu "Feel free to see if there's anything else you'd like to do while I talk to my sister," Lotus pulled Aloe out of the room and Spike looked at the menu.

"Mmm, oh they have a Seaweed wrap, I wonder if I can do that with my exposed back," After a few minutes Aloe rushed back into the room with the same look as her sister.

"Spike," She said casually "If you don't mind me asking, what is your budget for your outing today?" Spike spat out a torrent of fire and it swirled into a bag that dropped on the floor. chuckling at the look on Aloe's face.

"I should use my fire more often, The look on ponies face is always just the best," Spike opened the bag and revealed it to be full of bits. "I dunno, little over a thousand?" He pondered as he looked inside it "This is only my splurge money though if push comes to shove I could just take some out of my party budget," Spike looked over to Aloe, who looked like she was about to faint.

"You know, I am trained in Griffin care, but I know a few things about dragons, if you like I can file down your claws and order you a scale polish for body treatments,"

"Sounds great, quick question, is there anything I can't do with my back scales missing? Cause I really wanna try this seaweed wrap,"

"The Full body massage is definitely out since we don't wanna injure the area, but everything else will be fine so long as I take care to be gentle,"

"Hot dog, I'll have whatever Pinkie is having,"

Pinkie and Spike were laughing as they made their way to the front counter, Pinkie had an Afro, and since he didn't have a mane Spike had gotten blue nail polish added to his head fins just to see how it would look. Lotus and Aloe looked very pleased with their work as they added up a bill of almost 500bits, Spike and Pinkie split the bill between each other and thanked the Spa twins for their hard work.

"This was so much fun," Spike said with a smile.

"Well I can't wait for your next visit," Aloe said with a smile "Oh, and your scale polish should be coming in next Wednesday, would you like to deliver it to you?"

"Better Idea," Pinkie declared as she held up a sign up sheet "You don't have anyone scheduled for anything big on Wednesday,"

"Today is a bit slow," Lotus confirmed "Would you like to schedule a time on Wednesday,"

"We'll take...the entire day," Pinkie declared with a nod leaving the two twins staring at her blankly.

"Great idea," Spike agreed as he wrote his name down "This way we can try everything without worry," The Spa Twins looked at them like they were crazy.

"But...but doing everything once would cost nearly 4,000 bits, and there are two of you,"

"Eh," Pinkie and Spike said with a shrug.

"What do you mean, eh," Aloe demanded.

"We have a giant backup reserve for emergencies," Spike said simply "Cut into it, try everything once, then pick like 15 things each and just roll with that,"

"Yeah it might take most of our paychecks, but we make triple that in a week with all the parties we throw across Equestria,"

"See you Wednesday, and then probably every Wednesday after that," The two Spa Ponies stood in shock as the two Pie Siblings made their way out of the building.

"Hey Pinkie when we get home can you help me find my Turtle shell from last Halloween,"

Aloe and Lotus were both glowing with embarrassment after the story came to an end.

"I knew it was the money," Limestone chuckled "But I imagine their personalities ended up drawing you in," Before Aloe or Lotus could reply Spike and Pinkie spoke up.

"It's just our natural charm, making friends is a breeze," They both sounded proud as Marble chuckled and Maud shook her head.

"You two certainly do have a special kind of charm," Maud decided, "So who hasn't asked for a story yet?"

"Me, Spike, and Lotus," Pinkie declared as she slid under the table and poped out between Lotus's legs and put her arms around her neck. Lotus turned so read she was almost glowing. "Meaning it's your turn buddy oh mine,"

"Well," Lotus tapped her chin, trying to clear her mind of Pinkie "There was something I wanted to ask Limestone the first time I met her," Lotus whispered into Pinkie's ear as she frowned.

"Oh, I don't actually know this one," She then turned to Limestone. "You and Spike are gonna have to tell this one,"

"What?" Limestone asked as Pinkie flipped the page, Limestone scooted over and Pinkie took her place as Limestone and Spike looked at a page with a single picture.

"Oh," both Limestone and Spike said. "This one,"

"Alright, this is the story of..."

That Time Limestone first used the rope

Limestone looked out across the rock farm, then to her brother, who was slowly pushing a rock twice his size across the ground.

"Atta boy Spike," She called to him "You've been a big help today, at this pace we should get these last rocks to the field before the storm comes in,"

"Well It's not like I have school to worry about," Spike noted "And with Mom Pregnant and Dad taking care of her It's not like I could just leave you alone out here,"

"I can and have done this alone many times," Limestone assured him with a nod. "But your help is appreciated greatly," Limestone moved away from her brother as she began pushing rocks around towards the west field, as she moved Spike spied at her and then spun in place and floated slightly in the air before placing his head against the rock and spinning his tail, moving the rock faster than he had been before.

"Spike," Limestone said sternly without looking behind him "You'll never get any stronger if you cheat with balloons,"

"I'm just using my head," Spike chuckled back as he moved his rock. Limestone just shook her head and continued pushing her rock, Spike managed to go for a few minutes before stopping and panting as he limply floated next to his rock.

"I was lied to," He complained getting Limestones attention "You said this was cheating but my tail muscles are burning from all the spinning,"

"Then rotate out," Limestone said simply, smiling at the sudden knowledge that Spike was working out some part of his body when he flew "Push on the ground and the air, change every couple of minutes,"

"You're just trying to trick me into a workout routine," Spike muttered suspiciously.

"Sorry Spike, but your not gonna get a Cutie mark to help give you that extra little push, so you gotta do the push yourself," Spike muttered as he landed and continued pushing the rock, silently plotting a way to make his work easier without having to do a lot of work to make it easier. Spike came up with a great plan and slowly pushed his rock slower, His Sister caught him instantly.

"Nice try," Limestone said "Maud tried the same trick, but I assure you I'll notice if you just stop pushing and disappear,"

"Maud's already thought of everything," Spike muttered as he continued pushing, still trying to figure out how to make his work easier.

"That's the problem with halving older siblings," Limestone replied "They've already thought of most of the good schemes and can typically figure out what your planning just as you put it into motion," Spike frowned for a moment before smiling.

"I can think of something you haven't thought of," He realized with a mischievous grin. Limestone turned on the spot as she felt an odd tingle run along her back, Spike might not have had a cutie mark, but he did share one thing with all of his family, they could all tell when Spike was doing something or in some kind of trouble. Their mother could always tell when Spike was Lying, their father could always tell if Spike was misbehaving, Pinkie could always tell when Spike was Sad, Maud could always tell when Spike was in trouble, and Limestone could always tell when Spike was about to do something absolutely stupid.

"Spike don't you dare-" Limestone's warning fell on deft ears as Spike spun on the spot and began floating away with the aid of 12 balloons, a new record Limestone was not happy to witness as he shot up to nearly 10 meters in the air. Spike laughed at his genius, Limestone just about had a heart attack.

"Get down from there," She yelled out angrily, her anger mostly coming from a fear of him falling or floating away.

"Never," Spike replied as he lay back "Never gonna work again,"

"Spike avoid your chores won't make them go away," She called back "Maud already tried that too," Before Limestone could keep yelling at him she heard the sound of hooves and turned to find her parents looking around suspiciously.

"What did he do?" Igneous demanded as Cloudy looked out across the field "He pulled a Maud and run off from his chores didn't he?" Limestone, realizing she might be having a panic attack as she was having trouble breathing, simply pointed straight up. Igneous and Cloudy looked up and both nearly had heart attacks themselves.

"What are you doing up there!" Igneous demanded.

"Spike Bolder Pie you get down here now!" Spike looked at his parents, then to Limestone then gave a nervous chuckle.

"How?" He asked simply.

"How do you usually land!?" Limestone demanded.

"I just drop down and land on my feet," Spike called back, now also joining his family in panic "I've never done this with more than three Balloons before! The highest I ever got I just landed on top of the house and had Pinkie get a Ladder to get me down.

"We don't have a ladder nearly that long!" Cloudy yelled back, now also venting anger born of fear as she desperately looked around, "Maybe if we used Holders Bolder we-" Limestone looked at her mother like she was crazy, and Spike verbally confirmed the idea was a bust

"Never," Spike called back "No one touches Holders Bolder!"

"Spike now is not the time for tradition," Igneous yelled back "Now is the time for trying anything that might remotely work," Limestone looked around, trying to find something that might work remotely, and then spies the Silo, both Tall and Filled with supplies.

"Spike" She yelled up at him as she formulated a plan "use your tail and fly towards the Silo,"

"But I'm to far above it to land on it," He complained.

"I don't want you to land on it, I want to be higher up so I can pull you in," Limestone ran for the Silo, Igneous following after, with Cloudly, frantically running around below Spike to try and catch him if he plummeted. Limestone burst in and began digging around the Silo, Igneous joining in her search.

"What do you need," He demanded.

"Anything," She shot back "Christmas lights, a bunch of Bungie cords, a long pole, just anything!" Limestone found some stream and tossed it aside, then saw it, and grabbed it without hesitation, a Long piece of rope, about 3 meters long. She grabbed it and rushed to the Silo Ladder, climbing up to the highest point of it, and with the highest level having no openings she began beating on the wall, her Father joining in once he made it up the ladder and the knocked it down. The Rope in her mouth Limestone looked in the Direction of Spike and saw he was just out of her reach and was now in a fight with the wind, she looked to the wind and her eyes went wide when she spotted it.

"The Storm," Igneous cried out "I forgot there was a Storm scheduled for this afternoon!" Limestone looked to her Brother, and then punched a hole in the wall, then another, and then slowly began punching her way up the side of the Silo, the wind buffeted her but she ignored it once she got high enough and looked to Spike, Who's tail was spinning at high speeds as he looked directly into the wind, trying not to be sent sprawling off into the distance. Limestone began swinging and tossed at Spike, only to miss him as the wind sent the wind trailing to her side. Spike spied it and she felt the bad feeling he was about to do Something Stupid, Spike Began spinning in the air, and then suddenly his Balloons flew away as he shot to the side and grabbed the rope, Limestone gripped tightly as he hit the side of the Silo and reeled him in until he was dangling over the open hole, where Cloudy had joined her husband.

Spike was instantly pulled in and Limestone began slowly making her way back down, she arrived with a few cuts on her legs but ignored them as she found Cloudy and Igneous examining Spike. Behind her, the rain began coming down.

"Oh my starts," Cloudy said as she hugged him then held him out "Young man you are in so much trouble," Igneous was clearly trying to think of something that would be a punishment but Limestone could already tell the problem that would come of it.

"If you ground Spike, Pinkie will just ground herself with him and Maud will just hide him in her room and let him be ungrounded while he's in there, You tell him her can't do his chores then he'll probably try doing it again to get his way in the future, So there's only one solution, you'll have to punish me and him,"

"How is that fair?" Spike demanded as their parents looked at each other

"Because it's the only punishment that'll actually work on you," Limestone said flatly.

"Your cheating again," Spike complained as Limestone took the rope she had used to real Spike in and tied it around her waist before tying Spike up around the middle.

"What is this?" Spike demanded as he pulled at it.

"The Rope," Limestone replied "You and I will now spend the rest of the day like this, and that includes Dinner, our free time, bath time, and bedtime"

"A Bath!" Spike demanded as he immediately tried to escape, and quickly realized he couldn't untie Limestone's knots, "Can I just be grounded?"

"No," Igneous decided "No this might actually work,"

"And since it's raining when we go out to do our chores tomorrow you and I will also be tied up and will spend the rest of the day like that to until we finish our chores, and if we don't finish them before nightfall you'll be getting another bath,"

"No," Spike cried out dramatically as Limestone picked him up and held him by the back of his neck as she went down the ladder before having him ride on her back. The Two made their way inside while Igneous and Cloudy talked about the repairs the Silo was going to need. Limestone went up to her room, sent Spike on her bed, and made her look him in the eye.

"Look at me," She said, he looked and she gave him a once over "Are you ok?"

"I don't like baths," He replied stubbornly, she just sighed and hugged him "No more Ballons until your older," Her tone had gone soft as she patted his bath "Not without permission and supervision, ok?"

"Ok," Spike said in defeat as he hugged his sister back.

"Aw," Pinkie said "That was such a cute ending,"

"Thanks for tagging that one Spike," Limestone said flatly as her sisters all looked at her, "Wipe that look off your face, Maud," Limestone said as she pointed to Maud's blank expression.

"That was so adorable," Maud said simply.

"She's not my best big sister forever for no reason," Spike declared proudly.

"Wait," Aloe said in confusion "I assumed Maud was your favorite sister," That earned a laugh from all of the Pies, even Maud let loose.

"Ha," She declared dully "Aloe we Pie's don't have a favorite, we all either treat each other as the favorite or beat each other to a pulp, we've all had a really bad fight at least once,"

"You should have seen then time me and Maud got into a fight, we were both in the hospital for a week,"

"Your family is so confusing," Lotus decided as she failed to even think of a reason why Maud and Spike might argue, much less fight each other to a point of sending each other to the hospital,"

"Anyway," Pinkie smiled "The time has come for me and Spike to pick our stories, and I won the origami Ninja star contest so I get to pick first, and I have picked one that I'm sure will interest everyone," Pinkie flipped through a few pages before finding the one she was after.

"Alright, This is the story of..."

I have begun the process of learning how to measure using the meters entirely so I can say 10 meters in the air instead of something like 33 hooves in the air. because using feet as a measurement in mlp just feels wrong.

That time with the Mime

The Entire Pie family was packed into a cart, Igneous was pulling it behind him while his family sat in the back with several large bags of gravel, the Pie family made several deliveries a year personally, not because the ponies were special but because the pony they usually had to move their stuff was unavailable on select dates like his birthday or honeymoon. Spike and Marble were sitting near the back, looking out at all the stuff they were passing, having tied in the family vote on who was most likely to get distracted and not keep the Gravel bags from spilling they were only there because babysitters were expensive.

Spike and Marble were mostly just excited because of the nearby Circus, Pinkie was equally as excited but was also determined to do good for her family so she was holding her excitement in and doing her best to keep her eyes on the gravel to keep it from tipping. As everyone was busy keeping the gravel in place they all failed to notice when Spike saw something that, to him, was the single most amazing thing. Standing by a lamp post was a white mare with a black mane, she was on her back two hooves and looked to be leaning on a counter or something, but there was nothing there, Spike pointed it out to Marble and they stared in awe as the mare leaned on an invisible counter.

Marble looked to their family and then made the big decision as she jumped for it. Spike wasn't one to tattle or be left behind, so decided to go with Marble so she wouldn't get lost, jumping off after her. The Two rushed past a few carts and came to a stop at the Mysterious Mime Mare. Who noticed them and waved, still leaning on nothing.

"How are you doing that?" Spike asked.

"Mmm?" Marble asked. The Mime simply pointed to her lips and drew a line before tossing a non-existent thing.

"Mmm," Marble realized.

"Oh duh, mimes don't talk," Spike shook his head, ashamed he had forgotten. "We'll have to ask her in Mime,"

"Mmm?" Marble inquired.

"I have no idea how to speak Mime," Spike replied simply "Maybe Pinkie does?" Spike turned to where the cart had been and frowned.

"Mmm?" Marble questioned, Spike just took her head and turned it in the direction he was looking, a four-way intersection with dozens of Carts moving in multiple directions, Marble just stared at it in silence before she and Spike went in Full panic running in a circle, Their panic lasted about 20 seconds when a set of Arms stopped them, stood them up, and turned them towards the Owner, The Mime looked down at then and rolled her hoof, Inquiring for them to explain.

"We forgot we were on a family cart trip and jumped off when we saw you," Spike said simply as he pointed to the Intersection.

"Mmm," Marble added.

"Oh, and neither of us knows the name of the town we live in, come to think of it I don't think we know where here even is," The Two looked at each other and continued running in a panicked Circle. The Mime said nothing as she looked over at a large number of Carts and shook her head before grabbing both Spike and Marble and tossing them on her back.

"Guess this is our lives now," Spike said with a shake of his head "Marble we're going to have to learn to Speak Mime," Marble looked at her hooves and then waved them at Spike. "What was that supposed to mean?"

"Mmm," Marble Replied.

"Oh, maybe if I know that I'll see it?" Marble waved her hooves again and Spike shook his head "No...no still just looks like waving," The Mime said nothing as she made her way to their destination, the Circus. She walked in and made her way to the large tent attraction. She walked inside and, while Spike and Marble were staring at everything with amazement, she walked up to a Mare wearing a tophat with a Red coat.

"Oh, if it isn't everyponies favorite Mime," She said upon noticing her, "What brings you back in so early, your invisible box get wet again?" the Mare chuckling died down as the Mime set Spike and Marble down, and began moving her hooves around, Spike and Marble watched and they noticed the mare was using her tail and her ears in her movements, patting the ground a few times as well. The Mare just nodded as she watched the Mime's movements, The Mime ended her routine by pointing at Spike and Marble, the Mare looked at them and simply asked.

"I see, so you two fell out of your family's cart did you?"

"You speak Mime?" Spike demanded.

"No Hon, I speak Sign Language," The Mare replied simply "My friend here can't speak,"

"Because she's a Mime," Spike replied confidently.

"Sure Hon," The Mare replied, "Alright hon, keep an eye on these two for me, I'll contact the local police and see if we can't find their parents, I'm sure they've noticed they're missing and will probably be searching for them," The Mime nodded and motioned at Spike and Marble then to her back, they got the idea and climbed back on.

"Mmm?" Marble asked.

"I dunno," Spike replied "Ms.Mime how does one speak Mime?" The Mime didn't say anything and instead took them to a set of bleachers and had them sit on them, she then sat in front of them and waved at them, They waved back and she proceeded to put her hooves out, and began tapping around, to the amazement of Spike and Marble.

"Mmm," Marble said as she watched the Mime move as though she was in an invisible box, they watched as she leaned against its side, pressed her ear to it, and began tapping around. Spike and Marble felt like they were watching the Mime for hours when they heard the familiar voice of their Mother calling out to them, The Mime tipped her Berret, signaling her show was done, and motioned for them to follow.

Spike and Marble had only just exited the Tent when they were hug rushed by their worried family.

"How in equestrian did you two fall out?" Pinkie demanded

"We...got distracted," Spike decided simply.

"And that's about it did," Spike declared, with Marble agreeing. "We thanked the Mime, left, end of Story. So guess we pick another story now right?"

"Hold up," Pinkie said "That's not the end,"

"So anyway we should just pick another story now Right?" Spike said determinedly.

"No, she's right," Limestone agreed "That was indeed the story of how you met the Mime, but you know perfectly well that's not the end of it," Aloe and Lotus looked to Spike and found both he and Marble were glowing red, both looking up at the ceiling.

"Tell them the rest," Maud said simply, "Or we'll tell the parts we were around for," After a moment it became clear neither Spike nor Marble were going to be saying anything more so Pinkie got up. "Alright, I'll just have to finish the story from my perspective,"

Limestone was pulling the family cart with her Sisters and Brother in the back, their parents staying home as all of their children were old enough to take care of themselves. Pinkie and Maud were each holding onto a Bag of decorative rocks, while Spike and Marble were excitedly looking at the Circus.

"Marble look, They're back!" Spike picked Marble up and they both jumped ship.

"Hey," Maud called back to them.

"It's not like we were doing anything anyway," Spike called back "We'll be here when you come back,"

"Mmm," Marble agreed as they rushed to the street light they had first met the Mime at all those years ago.

"I wanna go to the Circus," Pinkie muttered in a hurt voice.

"I'll take you later," Maud promised dully "After we drop these off and make sure those two haven't sold themselves off to the circus,"

"Yeah," Limestone laughed "Like Spike and Marble would...even consider..." Limestone slowed to a stop with a frown on her face. "Pinkie go with Marble and Spike and make sure they don't do that,"

"You can count on me Limestone!" Pinkie cheered as she jumped out the back of the cart, Maud easily taking her bag and nodding for Limestone to keep moving. Pinkie easily caught up to her siblings and found them staring with stars in their eyes at a Mime who was leaning on an invisible counter, Pinkie didn't see what was so unique about it seeing as she could easily do it herself, but Spike and Marble were completely enthralled. Spike and Marble were quietly giggling at one another before Marble walked up to the mare and began making odd movements with her hooves, the Mime stopped her head and began doing similar movements, Marble pointed over to Spike who walked over and waved and then began making different formations with his hands. Pinkie recognized Spike's movements as the Griffin form of Sign Language and was able to understand what he was saying to near perfection.

"How have you been?" Spike signed to the Mime who smiled and made a few movements. "Yes, we are the very same Filly and Dragon, now Pony and Dragon," Pinkie smiled, and looked towards the entrance of the circus, pacing in place. Wanting to go and enjoy the circus but not wanting to leave Spike and Marble alone.

"Spike, Marble," Pinkie declared "I'm gonna go look around the Circus, don't sell yourselves off to the Circus while I'm gone," Pinkie rushed away leaving Marble, Spike, and the Mime alone. Pinkie rushed to the front entrance, bought her way in, and ran to the first game she could find, quickly losing track of time as she played more and more games When she decided to take a break and eat some Cotton Candy she felt a tap on her shoulder and looked over to find Limestone and Maud. "Oh hey guys," Pinkie said after swallowing her food "Done already?"

"Pinkie we've been trying to find you for almost three hours," Limestone said with a groan "Grab Spike and Marble it's time we leave," Pinkie looked at them in silence for about three seconds before laughing nervously.

"Funny story, I left them at the front gate almost immediately," Limestone let out a noise of pure frustration and Maud sighed.

"So we have to keep searching then?"

"I left them with a Mime," Pinkie replied "They were speaking sign language, but don't worry, I specifically told them not to sell themselves to the Circus," Pinkie's sisters looked at her for about 5 seconds before Pinkie face hoofed herself "Why did I say that? I probably put the idea in their heads," Pinkie tapped her head for a moment before raising her hoof and declaring "We found them in the main tent last time, I say we try our luck a second time!" Pinkie rushed to the main tent with her sisters, following after. Upon arriving they found Pinkie's hypothesis to be correct, as Spike and Marble were talking with the Ringmaster of the Circus, who was shaking her head.

"I'd love to bring you both aboard, believe me, a Dragon would boost sales like no tomorrow, but I can't accept any creature who's underage, if you're still interested hit me up when you're of legal age, but until then the best I can do is say I'll keep you in mind," The Ringmaster tipped her hat and walked away from them, Leaving Spike and Marle to sigh and for the Mime to tell them something in sign language. Pinkie rushed to her siblings and put herself between them and the Mime.

"Shame on you," Pinkie said "Trying to talk my siblings into selling themselves, Shame I say," The Mime moved angrily but Pinkie ignored her and grabbed Marble while Limestone and Maud pulled Spike away.

"You best believe I'm telling Mom about this," Limestone said simply.

"What, you can't just sell us out, we didn't even technically do anything," Spike whined back before waving "It was nice to see you again, Hope to see you next time your circus stops by," Marble waved as well.

"Mmm," Marble agreed.

"Oh no," Pinkie said "You two are never coming back to the circus,"

"And that," Pinkie declared "Is the story of the time Spike and Marble almost let a Mime trick them into selling themselves,"

"Pinkie the Mime was telling us we were too young," Spike complained.

"Sure," Pinkie said "That's why she took you to the Ring Master,"

"Exactly," Marble said, making both Aloe and Lotus jump, and causing the rest of the Pie Family to look at her casually "What?"

"You can talk!?" Aloe demanded.

"Mmm," Marble confirmed.

"Marble always talks," Spike said in confusion "I mean sure she was a lot more enthusiastic with her agreement than usual, but that's because the Mime did nothing wrong,"

"Spike you Love that Mime almost as much as you Love Trixie,"

"I'm sorry," Maud said standing up "He what with who?"

"Oh, you don't know about Trixie?" Pinkie asked.

"I'll tell the heck out of that one!" Spike declared, the table watched as Spike's pupils turned into little hearts "I'll tell them everything about Trixie!"

"No," Pinkie said as she grabbed the closest thing and hit Spike in the face with it, realizing too late she had thrown the scrapbook she had to watch as she knocked him down with pictures exploding out of the book and floating all over the room.

"Pinkie!" Spike said as he jumped up "Look at what you've done, It'll take us like...4 minutes to fix this,"

"Sorry," Pinkie said "I just... don't like Trixie,"

"She's awesome," Spike declared.

"She strapped you to a rocket," Pinkie shot back.

"Sounds like the kind of thing Spike would like in a mare," Maud decided blandly.

"Sounds like the kind of thing that would make me hate said mare," Limestone retorted "Spike I swear to Celestia if I see you walking around with a rocket stepped to you I will never let you leave the rock farm again,"

"Well, then it's a good thing Spike has never strapped himself to a rocket since," Aloe said in a rush "Right everypony?"

"Yeah," Lotus agreed.

"I kind of miss Spike being around the house," Maud said, as she pondered on whether or not to sell out her brother for having a rocket on his back during the Gala after-party, "But sadly I can't think of a single time I've seen him strapped to a rocket,"

"Mmm," Marble suggested as she picked up one of the pictures.

"Alright then," Limestone said, "Let's put the Book back together and end the night shall we?" The Group split apart and began picking up the pictures, most of them were simply of Spike and Pinkie in different locations with both familiar and unfamiliar ponies alike, it wasn't until they were almost done that Lotus found a photo that seemed off.

"Wait," She said as she looked at it and realized what was off "When did this happen?" Lotus showed Pinkie the Picture and she gasped before taking it and showing it to Spike.

"Perfect," Spike said when he saw it. "There has never been a more perfect way to end a story night,"

"Alright everypony, It's time for the last story of the night, Gather round and listen as we tell you about the time..."

Author's Note

I was originally gonna have the Sign language parts be in more detail but in the end, subtitles felt like the better way to go since I'd have to make it up for Marble and the Mime anyway since sign language mostly requires finger movements.

I have no good transition for this so I'll just drop this here. As I am very broke and am having many problems in my life, could I interest you in buying me a Ko-Fi think of all the things I can afford when I have enough money, I could pay off my debt, fix me teeth, get a sex change, so many different fun things! So come on down and throw you're loose change at me.

That Time Spike and Pinkie first went to Ponyville

a young Spike and Pinkie were running around the house at full speed, their family leaving them be as they prepared for a monumental occasion, their first-ever time throwing a party in a different town.

"Rubber Chickens," Pinkie declared as she grabbed a box and dumped a large number of rubber chickens into a Funnel that lead into an over-packed suitcase that should have already exploded open.

"Giant balancing Ball," Spike added as he took a large ball and somehow shoved it down the funnel

"Are we missing anything?" Pinkie asked as she shoved her head into the Funnel and then pulled it out with ease "Nope, everything packed and ready," Pinkie and Spike both heaved the bag up and began marching towards the front door, "Alrighty, we're ready to go," Pinkie and Spike shimmed towards the door and made it just in time for Igneous to open it for them.

"Alright, let's go," He said "And Remember no matter what anyone tells you, we were paid in advance so no refunds,"

"Roger Dodger," Pinkie replied with a salute

"Dodger Roger," Spike added helpfully, too busy holding up the brute weight of the bag to wave back to his father. Igneous led the way and Pinkie waved goodbye to Cloudy and the sisters, Spike still too encumbered to wave towards them. The Trio made their way to the train station and could see it barreling down the tracks towards them.

"So..." Igenous noted as he tried to avoid an awkward silence "...what is this party about?"

"Just a Ponyville holiday," Pinkie replied casually "Most of the party has already been set up but we're going to be adding that special Pinkie-Spike blend to it,"

"And you need the suitcase for that?" he asked as he looked towards the slightly shaking case that was well past its limits.

"of course," Spike assured him "Our first paid gig, we have to look professional," Igenous was unsure how, if at all, to argue with that so he instead turned his attention to making sure he had all of their tickets.

The Train ride was less than extravagant and consisted of Spike and Pinkie trying to decide who should juggle on the ball and who should juggle upside down on the unicycle.

"I like juggling upside down," Pinkie muttered, "But balancing on a ball while juggling..."

"Maybe we should flip a coin," Spike offered "Oh...wait I don't have any coins,"

"Pinkie," Igneous cut in as they arrived at Ponyville "You balance on the ball, Spike you use the Unicycle," His children looked at him for a moment before turning to each other.

"Well, when he says It like that," Pinkie shrugged.

"Very convincing all across the board," Spike agreed. Pinkie and Spike lugged their suitcase out of the train as their father led them to where the party was set to be. Igneous wished his children luck and left to go do business of the rock variety.

Pinkie and Spike set down their suitcase and together undid the latch.

Igneous almost fell over when a large explosion of glitter, streamers, rubber chickens, and Party hats detonated behind him.

"Spike you forgot the balloons," he heard Pinkie cry out in irritation.

"No, I didn't, the party hats must have popped them,"

"Just keep walking," Igneous said calmly "Else they ask you to be the clown,"

Pinkie and Spike were hard at work having fun, Spike was tending to the snack table, taking care to make sure none of their snacks ran low, they had a massive spread and Spike was just about to finish checking everything off when he noticed something that was somewhat out of place even for him and Pinkie.

"Hey Pinkie," Spike called out upon noticing the oddity "why is there a tray of Grilled cheese sandwiches?"

"A nice couple who run the local bakery donated them for the party," Pinkie called back, "I think their name was the cakes,"

"Uh hu, cool, so why did bakers give us a tray of Grilled cheese sandwiches?" Pinkie looked at Spike for a moment before frowning.

"I didn't think to ask," She admitted scratching her chin "Oh well, they're just Grilled Cheese sandwiches, I doubt they'll ever come up again in any significant way, so who really cares why we have Grilled Cheese sandwiches or where they originated from," Spike nodded in agreement and continued listing off all the food they had at the ready. "Why is there a dunk tank full of muffins?" He questioned "Because that is brilliant,"

Pinkie juggled her rubber chickens and did her best to stay steady on the ball, Spike was cheering her on, his Unicycle having been donated to some young fillies and colts who had wanted to try and ride on it. While Pinkie did her routine Spike noticed a young colt being set up with a jester hat and a grilled cheese. Spike chuckled as Pinkie accidentally sent one of her chickens flying when someone bumped into her ball, she steadied herself and Spike saw the young colt set the rubber chicken on his back with a smile.

"eh," Spike shrugged as he watched the colt steal one of their rubber chickens "we have like thirty of 'em," Spike turned his attention to his unicycle. "Alright breaks over, time for the upside-down juggling dragon to get back into his act,"

Pinkie and Spike laughed as they combined their juggling act, the party was winding down and only a few ponies still stood watching them as they partook of the last of the snacks.

"This has been a real hoot and a holler," Pinkie laughed "Oh Spike I can't wait for us to grow up, we'll be doing this every day,"

"Multiple times a day," Spike agreed with a grin and he used his feet to keep the rubber chickens in the juggle motion.

"The Two ended up ending their act when Pinkie lost her balance and fell onto Spike, resulting in the unicycle breaking. beneath them.

"Alright shows over," Pinkie cheered to the few remaining "Go loot the snack table and then have a wonderful day," Pinkie and Spike picked themselves up and had a memorial service for the unicycle before chucking it into the nearest trashcan.

"Now what?" Pinkie wondered "Dad's not gonna be back for like another hour,"

"Let's also loot the snack table," Spike declared with glee, the two laughed like mad before running over and taking a couple of stale grilled cheese sandwiches.

"You know this place is pretty cool," Spike noted "Large open fields fit for filling up with hootenannies, get together, birthday parties, giant open field parties, the list just goes on and on,"

"Spike we have to live here," Pinkie decided as she looked at a map, "It's a great party location, and almost in the middle of equestrian, we could travel to Manehattan, Canterlot, Phillydelipia, Los Pegasus, Baltimare, the train here goes everywhere, no connecting routes or waiting for several stops, they just have dedicated trains that take you to specific places!" Pinkie grabbed her brother and shook him "Living here would give up party access to all of Equestria!"

"And the location itself is pretty great too," Spike chimed in with a smile. "It's almost perfect,"

"Yeah," Pinkie agreed "Although this place needs an unwinding spot, a couple of good hot rocks to rest our bones on, or a hot spring,"

"I'm sure we can find something," Spike assured her as the last of the snacks were eaten and they began collecting their party things that the guests hadn't taken.

"Let's see," Pinkie said as Spike began stuffing the suitcase, "We're missing several rubber chickens, down a unicycle, eighty party hats are either missing or unusable, it looks like someone took the punch bowl," Pinkie nodded "Acceptable losses across the board," Pinkie jumped on top of the suitcase and she and Spike had an epic struggle to click it closed, doing so just before their father arrived.

"Ready to go?" He questioned.

"Indeed we are," Pinkie cheered.

"Yeah," Spike confirmed "we have more parties to plan and the sooner we get home the sooner we can get to planning," Spike and Pinkie followed Igneous to the train station, their love for parties having been increased tenfold now that they knew they could get paid to do them.

Pinkie closed the scrapbook as she put the last photo back in place.

"Welp," Spike said with a yawn "I'm running on low, and I don't wanna use up all the stories today, never know when we might do this again after all,"

"I'll do this again," Aloe declared without hesitation "I'm free anytime for a sleepover,"

"Oh that's sweet of you," Pinkie chimed in "But Spike and I have a busy schedule, honestly tomorrow is gonna suck a little, but this was so worth it,"

"Oh yeah," Spike cried out "We have a breakfast party to throw at sunrise," Spike jumped up and rolled up the stairs "Quickly, to sleep!" Pinkie rushed after him and Maud patted Aloe on the back.

"I'm sure you'll catch him eventually, just remember my advice, and that past that I want no part in whatever you do to try and get him, Spitfire scares me,"

"No offense," Limestone cut in "but I'd definitely prefer he hook up with Spitfire, Nothing personal just that husband to the head of the wonderbolts sound better than the husband of local Spa owner, and I feel like your mostly into him for his wallet,"

"Excuse you?" Aloe looked to Limestone angrily at the causation.

"Mhh," Marble cut in.

"Marble's right," Maud agreed "In the end, it's up to Spike and Pinkie who they end up with,"

"come on," Lotus said, noticeably irritated by Limestone's words as well "Let's go get some rest," While everyone was talking Spike and Pinkie instantly set up their room.

"Guess this is it," Pinkie said with a yawn "Our little side story's at an end,"

"No worries," Spike assured her "Season two is right around the corner," The Two smiled as they got in their beds.

"See you guys in Season 2," They cheered before passing out.
