My Little Gunpla

My little gunpla

Chapter 3 grilling the new guy.

Spike was sitting through math class as the bell rings ending the class and telling everyone it's time for lunch.

Spike was leaving the classroom and headed down the hall when a boy run up and clapped him on the shoulder getting Spike attention.

Spike watched a boy sliding to a stop in front of him only to see the top of head.

The boy was short for his age only coming up to Spike's chin making him look up at spike as he began to walk backwards giving spike a better view of him, he wore a red shirt and blue jeans and brown sneakers and had a large birthmark on his left eye.

“Oh, hey Pipsqueak.” greeted Spike as he walked on watched Pipsqueak walk backwards like it was nothing.

“Hey Spike, thanks for giving me a pencil in math class, I didn't realize I left my pencil case in my locker.” said a thankful Pipsqueak as he tried to hand back the pencil.

“Keep it I have some more on me.” Spike said as they made it to the lunchroom and walked to the line and got their food.

Walking through the line grabbing food along the way, as they hit the end Spike began to look around as if looking for a table.

Pipsqueak was walking off before noticing Spike looking around. “Hey Spike come on I want you to meet some of my friends.”

Just when Spike was about to walk off to join Pipsqueak.

“Hey Spike over here I saved you a spot!”

Looking around Spike spotted the person he was looking for Twilight Sparkle waving her arm out trying to get his attention.

Smiling Spike look back to Pipsqueak. “Sorry Pipsqueak, I was hoping to catch up with my old friend.”

“You know Twilight Sparkle?” Asked a shocked Pipsqueak.

“Since childhood.” Said Spike before cocking his eyebrow. “Why?”

“Oh nothing, just good luck if you plan on trying to join the gunpla warfare team.” Said Pipsqueak walking off.

“Hey what do you mean? Are they down a member?” Asked Spike watching the retreating back of Pipsqueak.

“You'll find out.” called back Pipsqueak.

Sighing Spike walk off to see Twilight.

Twilight watched Spike maneuver his way through the cafeteria when a tap on her shoulder, to see Rainbow Dash.

“Hey who this guy you want us to meet?” she asked bringing up a fork of mac and cheese.

“He was my friend when I was little, before his family had to move,” said Twilight as Spike walked up to them.

Spike stood next to Twilight and watch her stand up with a bright smile on her face.

“Everyone I want you to meet one of my oldest friend Spike Dracon,” she said before pointing at everyone.

“Spike I want you to meet my friends, Applejack.” she said pointing to a girl with a Stetson hat and orange plaid shirt over a green tank top.

“Howdy, nice to meet you.” greeted Applejack giving Spike a nod with her finger on her hat.

“Nice to meet you.” Said Spike giving a nod back before asking. “Aren't you the girl that gave Scootaloo back her inhaler?”

“Yeah, that was me.” grinned Applejack a light blush coating her cheeks.

Smiling Twilight kept on the next person. “The one sitting next to Applejack is Pinkie Pie.”

Spike smiled at Pinkie before she was right in his face her pink hair still bouncing, “Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, how long have you known Twilight, have you seen Gundam and what's your favorite of the shows?”

Spike took a step back at how fast Pinkie Pie popped up in front of him. “Ah, I've known Twilight sense we were little, yes I've seen Gundam, and I liked Wing, G, Double O, and IBO.”

“Ooh have you played Gunpla Battle or Gunpla Warfare?” Pinkie fired off as she rested a arm on Spike's shoulder.

“Yes, I have, why needing a new member?” Asked Spike quirking an eyebrow with a small smirk.

“Actually, yeah we are, how did you know?” Asked a shocked Pinkie before gasping and putting her hands to her head. “Are you a psychic, what number am I thinking of?”

As Spike was about to answer as small cough was heard.

“Pinkie dear, can we get through the introduction first before we get into other stuff, please?” asked a girl with indigo hair.

“Oh, sure Rarity,” Nods a smiling Pinkie before rocketing back to her seat, “continue.”

Spike smiled at the interaction of the girls before looking back at Twilight giving her a nod.

Giggling at Pinkie's antics Twilight went back to introducing her friends.

“As Pinkie already said the woman right next to me is Rarity.” Said Twilight gesturing to the girl right next to her.

“Hello dear, my that's a lovely pendent you have there.” Greeted Rarity with a soft smile.

“Thank you my mom and I made it after my dad died it hold some of his ashes.” Smiled Spike.

“Oh, I'm sorry dear I didn't mean to bring up bad memories.” Spoke Rarity.

Spike just waved it off and smiled. “Na it's cool my dad didn't just give in and kick the bucket he held in there for a good long time, a lot longer than the Doctors said he would.”

Smiling Twilight and pointed to a girl seating next to Pinkie who gave an eep and tried to hide in her hair.

“The one trying to hide is Fluttershy.”

The girl gave a soft, “hello.” as she hid in her light pink hair with one of her cyan eye peeking out and held out a shaking hand.

Spike reach out shook the proffered hand with a kind smile.

“Hey sorry I'm late girls MS Harshwhinny needed me to help her with something.” Said a girl walking up out of breath.

Spike saw a girl with red hear and yellow highlights and wearing a amber shirt with a leather jacket like vest and a purple skirt.

“Oh, Sunset perfect timing. I want you meet my old friend Spike. Spike this is Sunset Shimmer,” said Twilight.

“How's it going?” greeted Sunset.

Spike sits down next to Twilight as Twilight was about to introduce the girl next to her when she was interrupted by said girl.

“I got this Twilight, I'm Rainbow Dash the best sports and gunpla player in all of canterlot high.” Boasted Rainbow Dash with a wide grin before a snort was heard.

“In your head.” Mumbled Applejack taking a drink from her apple juice gaining at the glare she was getting from Rainbow Dash.

“Anyways, how did you know we were down a member?” Asked Rainbow.

“Oh. My new friend Pipsqueak told me that you lost a member so I thought that maybe I can try out for the team.” Said Spike

“That's a good idea, with your training you would make an excellent teammate.” Said Twilight nodding her head.

“Now hold on their Twilight. We can't just let anyone in just like that.” Cut in Rainbow Dash giving Spike a sideways glance. “We don't even know if he knows the rules for Gunpla Warfare.”

“I do.” Butted in Spike with a grin.

“Oh yeah, Prove it.” Demands Rainbow folding her arms over her chest.

Spike gave her a dead pan look before smirking. “Okay... It's just like chess you have seven ships two as rooks, two as knights and two bishops along with one as queen and normally a space station as the king.”

“And just like in chess the ships for the Rook the Knight and the Bishops are each the same only the Queen is different as it is the flag ship. And all ships have three gunpla in each ship and the king having the pawns which are any type of gunpla mass production type no name suits can used as a pawn. And after that it's just like any old gunpla battle.”

Spike finished with a smile before he stopped and snapping his fingers like he remembered something.

“Oh, I almost forgot you can't use any type of funnels, bets or fangs if you don't have the right ranks which are Normal Type, Cyber Newtype, Newtype, Coordinators and Innovators.”

Rainbow gave Spike a nod impressed with the summery of the rules before asking.

“And why did the ranking system come to be?”

Spike was eating his food and got a confused look as he had to think about the question.

“If I remembered correctly several schools thought they would win easily if they had every gunpla use funnels, they saw it as some kind of loophole to have more units of the field, but it was a disaster no one knew which was theirs and a lot of friendly fire happened.”

Smirking Rainbow crossed her arms and gave Spike a determined look. “Alright you know your stuff. After school we meet up in the room by the library and we will see if you're good in a fight.

Sighing Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow Dash, I don't think you need to do that.”

Rainbow Dash grind. “What's wrong Twilight afraid I'm going to beat him?”

Shaking her head Twilight tried to worn Rainbow. “No, he can fight, I just don't think....”

Twilight was cut off by the bell ringing and everyone began to get up and head back to class.

Sighing Twilight got up to put her lunch tray away when someone grabbed her arm turning see Spike standing there giving her a smile.

“Don't worry Twilight I got this. I wasn't expecting to be let in just like that, I was hoping to show what I can do.”

Smiling back Twilight gave him a nod and walked out of the lunchroom with him.

“Alright just don't be to mean, I know how your parents fight they don't hold back.”

Spike gave her a fake shocked look. “What I would never be mean. But Mom and dad always said never fight anyone halfheartedly.”

Spike was setting in his last class of the day art class waiting for the bell to ring.

As the teacher talking the bell rang and stopped her in her tracks.

Spike clean up his desk and left the room and went for the library.
