Author's Note

Not gonna lie! Had most of this written within two days of the last chapter but I didn’t post it because it felt like it was missing something. So I waited and now added it. Enjoy this piece I write for shits and giggles

Alvasa out!_!

Fudge Nuggets

"Twilight will you please stop with the complaining already!" Sunset complained at her best friend.

"Stop, how can I stop!" Twilight cried out "Celestia sent both of us to oversee this... this ...celebration while all the meanwhile one of Equestria's most well-known legends is stated to-"

*BLOOP*

"That'll shut her up for a little while," Spike chuckled as he shoved an exceedingly chocolate cupcake into his employer slash adoptive sister's mouth.

"Thanks, Spike," Sunset gave him a hoof five while Twilight glared at the duo with a mouth oozing with chocolate. "Wait... Where'd you even get that thing anyways?"

"That pink mare with the puffily pinkier mane and tail gave to me and told me what to do after she pulled it out of her mane," Spike pointed at the pink pony who waved in the distance before shooting off. "She said some stallion with a yellow coat, tail, eyes, and braided mane dressed in a black suit wearing a red overcoat with a front and back metal leg gave her the recipe for just this type of situation that occurs with parents on occasion."

"That's oddly specific and weird descriptions of someone who has completely nothing to do with us little brother," Sunset raised an eyebrow while Twilight was doing her best to try and get the chocolate cement ball out of her mouth or swallow it, whichever came first.

"Our dad is literally one of Equestria's living legends and we see a singing dancing dick of a frog on a near daily basis," Spike points as he pulls out the list. “Not to mention our mother is the ruler of the country, I’m a dragon, and our extended family is a vast network of assassins and mercenaries that spans practically the world over. Also, our baby sister is a pony, a pon, who regularly partakes in the consumption of various red meats to no avail with digestion, not to mention yourself on various occasions.”

“Okay! Okay,” Sunset quickly used her magic to turn his lips into a zipper, “Point made, now stop talking about it so casually and out loud I might add to,” she narrowly shushed him as he. Silently glared with crossed arms at her.

Spike slowly nodded as his older sister removed her spell, “why didn’t ya do that with Twilight?”

“Cause it’s a spell and she’s… Ya know, she’s Twilight,” Sunset rolled her eyes, “With it being magic and with her magical studies and power rivaling my own she could’ve had it undone in like three minutes tops.”

“Point,” Spike pointed. “But if we did someth8ng total orginal and out of the box that makes no sense to someone of her… well readness?”

“Yea… let’s go with that…” Sunset nods.

“Yeah,” Spike agreed, “Anyways ya go that route and ya get this!” He motioned to the purple mare.

Twilight was now trying to pry the fudge ball out with a number of flathead screwdrivers she'd pulled from a nearby construct pony's toolbox, she was on her seventh one with the others all getting bent.

"So, how exactly is being specific in details out of the ordinary for us?" Spike added as he licked his finger and flipped the paper over. "Especially after we've had to deal with a lizard who walks on two legs and sprays everypony with some kind of miracle whip gun named Glub Glub?"

"Touche," Sunset relented and turned to see Twilight, "Ah... we should really help her out," she pointed as the lavender book pony had now moved on to trying to use a saw, it was her third one.

"Miss please!" the construction pony whined, "That's my last saw!"

"Sorry about that," Sunset quickly stepped in, took the saw in her green magic, and gave it back to the worker. "Spike!"

Spike was currently lost as he went over the list that he wasn't paying attention to where he was going.

"Let's see here... next is the singing... Why do we even need singing to raise the sun mom?!" Spike threw his arms up and then looked around to see bushes surrounding him. "Oops..."

"I really need to stop hanging around the crazy purple pony all the time," Spike grumbled as he stomped back and forth.

"I've even started the wandering reading thing she did! Wait..." his green fin-like ears perked up, "Pretty music..." he said as he followed the melodies in the air and came across a butter yellow coated pegasus pony with green eyes and a pink mane and tail. "What she doing out here?" he asked as he watched.

"Okay everypony that was very good," she said to a flock of birds. She then singled out one, "Jerry, you were just a teeny tiny bit flat on your last note so if you could fix it that would be lovely, but only f you want to. Now let's take it from the top, shall we? We have to do our best for the princess tomorrow."

They started singing again.

"So cool!" Spike said as he rushed in and all the birds scattered.

"Oh my!" The pegasus said as she hid under her own tail.

"Awww...." Spike deflated. "I'm sorry I scared away your birds."

"Oh my goodness!" the pegasus says as she quickly did a one-eighty and lifted Spike into the air, "A baby dragon who can talk! You're so cute!"

"Will you please put me down?" Spike awkwardly asked. "I don't really like being hoofed like I'm a fine wine or collectible action figure."

"Oh I'm so sorry," She quickly set him down, "I just get a little over-excited when I meet a new animal is all. I hope I didn't upset you too much Mr.Dragon."

"It's okay, not my first time, and won't be my last," Spike dusted himself off. "Better than being the test subject for one of my sisters' magic spells at least. The names Spike, Spike Ackerman at you service my lady," he gave a bow.

"Oh so polite," the giggled, "My name's Fluttershy, it's very nice to meet you Mr.Arckerman. I didn't know dragons had last names."

"Oh, I don't know if we do or not," Spike shrugs. "My dad always says to be formal and give a lady your first and last name when you first meet them. Not only is it proper etiquette but it is just good manners, but you can just call my Spike, Mr. Ackerman is my father."

"Oh, is he here too?" Fluttershy went back to cowering under her tail, "Is he like a bigger version of you?"

"Well... Technically he is here in town but he's out checking on the food with the Apple family and no, he's a... a very odd pony actually. He's not my dad by blood but he adopted me not long after I was hatched and after my mom took me in as my hatcher was too young to look after me at the time," Spike explained. "They never treated me any different than my little sister or big sisters."

"A dragon raised by ponies... That explains why you're so nice," Fluttershy popped her head out. "So you don't really know about dragons do you?"

"I actually know a lot about my species thanks to my dad. He used to travel around a lot and so he learned a whole lot about the different species and cultures of the world," Spike poofed out his chest. "He still travels but just nowhere as much as he used to. I can tell you what I know about dragons and other species he's told me about sometime," he blushed slightly.

"Oh, that would be lovely!" Fluttershy clapped her hoofs together.

"Hey, your birds are back!" Spike pointed as the little singers returned. "I overheard you say you were practicing the songs for the ceremony. It's actually a good thing I stumbled on you then," Spike pulls out his list and checks off the songs. "Now dad just has to give the okay on the food. I wonder if Sunset and Twilight checked on the clouds and decorations?" He looked up and saw the clouds. "Don't think so...."

"Is something wrong? Do you need help with something?" Fluttershy tilted her head.

"I hate to ask this when we just met but can you help me find my way back to town, please," Spike clasped his claws together, "It's my first day here and I don't know my way..."

"Certainly," Fluttershy smiled. "On the way can you tell me more about dragons?"

"A bargain has been struck as dad would say," Spike held his scroll a loft as if it were a sword.

"Hmhm... So cute!" Fluttershy giggled as she lifted him onto her back and she flew back into town.

Sunset was currently sitting on the side of the road with Twilight sitting next to her fuming at the face she still had a mouth full of what was indestructible yet also delicious chocolaty goodness.

"I blame you for our missing dragon brother right now," Sunset said with a worried and sour tone.

"MMHMHMHMHMHMHMHMHM!" Twilight motioned around and to her mouth and then around again.

"If you hadn't freaked out about the Nightmare Moon bs then he wouldn't have shoved the cupcake in your mouth to shut you up and we could've just done the list!" Sunset pointed out, causing the purple pony to shrink, ashamed knowing it was her fault. "You know he has your habit of walking and reading at the same time. Now because I was preoccupied trying to stop you from taking tools to pry open your chocolate stuffed craw, we completely lost sight and track of my little brother!"

Twilight just sat on the ground and drew a circle with her hoof in the dirt.

"Hey girls," Spike said.

"Not now Spike, I'm busy lecturing Twilight about not to take our eyes off you while you're reading," Sunset said and then a dinging was heard from a nearby baking cart. "Spike!" Sunset grabbed him in her magic and started to check him over then hug him, "Oh thank the sun you're okay! Where did you go, Buster?!?"

"I was engrossed in the checklist... again..." Spike let out a nervous little chuckle, "But I was able to get one of the objectives checked off, unlike your two," he said with a sly grin

"BB-B-BBUT, sHUT UP!" Sunset said as she dropped in then and there.

"Ow..." Spike says.

"HEY!" a mare called out. Sunset looked over to see a thoroughly ticked Flutterhsy glaring at her, "That's no way to treat another living creature!" She says as she helped Spike up.

"Thanks, Fluttershy but can you take it easy on her," Spike spoke up, "She as just really worried about me."

"Spike... Who is this?" Sunset points.

"Mmmmmm...." Twilight agreed.

"Oh you poor thing," Fluttershy says as she trots over to Twilight, "It looks like you got one of Pinkie Pie's Silent Treatments."

"Is that what those things are called," Spike asked.

"Yes, though they're usually used on foals by parents for acting out in public," Fluttershy went over to hte bakery cart and bought a carton of milk before returning. "Let me see," she says as she opens and puts a straw in it before squirting so of the milf on the fudge wad in Twilight's mouth. "Try making a chewing motion please, that is if you want to I mean..."

Twilight rolled her eyes and did as she was told and was steadily able to at least close her mouth.

"The secret is milk," Fluttershy smiles, "Here ya go Spike, I have to get back to practicing with the birds. Please come by my cottage and see me if you can some time," she patted his head, and then flew away.

Spike was left standing there with a goofy grin while holding the milk. Twilight immediately took it in her magic and went to work trying to free her jaws of hte fudgy cement that was coating her teeth.

Sunset looked in the direction the pegasus flew at her little brother. She got a sly grin going, "Spiiiiiikkkkeeee, you dog!" She gave him a hefty thud on his back.

"What?!" Spike winced as he rubbed his back.

"Hmmmm..." Sunset just gave him a look. "You're such a smooth drake."

Spike thought then look in the distance then looked at his older sister then in the distance again before a ding was heard from the bakery cart went off again.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa it was not like that!" Spike's face was now dark purple as steam rose from his crest. "I came across her by chance. She's the bird trainer for the music for tomorrow's music!"

"Ahaaaaa..." Sunset says with a teasing tone, "Sure, that's all it is," she giggled.

"I'm not going to hear the end of this any time soon... Am I?" Spike buried his face in his claws

"It's your fault for wandering off little brother," Sunset patted his head, "Now let's get moving while Twi is still muted."

"Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......" Twilight growled while suckling on the milk carton.
