On a cold winter's night in Equestria Spike the Dragon was sitting down to have his supper.
Many years had pasted since Spike had lived with Twilight Sparkle the only Mother he ever knew. And these days he lived alone in a tree in the evergreen forest. And honestly he hadn't had any visitors in a long time.
And this was most definitely the coldest winter Spike could remember in his 56 years of living.
But tonight the fireplace was burning quite brightly keeping him warm as he ate his supper a big bowl of diamonds and he drank a cup of Dragon Whiskey.
As he finished that he went off to bed he said his prayers and then crawled under his blankets in his large bed and faded off to sleep.
In the middle of the night a loud sound filled the air awaking Spike. He looked around til he saw staring right at him through the window was a big Timberwolf.
Spike hadn't seen a timberwolf in ages. Spike hadn't had a visitor in a long time. while Spike would later wonder why he did it went to the door opened it and invited the Wolf into his house.
The wolf came into the house and Spike quickly closed the door behind him blocking out the frigid air.
"Good evening my friend," Spike said "it's a cold one out tonight isn't it?"
The Timberwolf said nothing just snarled because Timberwolves don't talk.
"Are you hungry?" Spike asked. Then he left the room and came back with an uncooked steak he threw it to the Wolf. The wolf ate it instantly then seemed to calm down a little and sat down on the floor.
"Hey," Spike said "why don't we play some kind of game?"
Spike left the Wolf in his living room again and then returned with a deck of playing cards. They were actually special playing cards that Princess Celestia had given him years ago when he was just a little dragon. Because of that he only ever brought them out if he had some kind of special guest.
So Spike came back into the room and sat down on the floor across from the Wolf. He then took the cards and dealt him and the Wolf each a hand of go fish.
"Let's play go fish," Spike said "I'll go first." He looked at his hand then said "do you have any 5’s?"
The Timberwolf then stuck it's head down and ate it's hand of playing cards.
"What?" Spike yelled "Why would you do that?" "Princess Celestia gave me these cards and their one of a kind!" "How could you do such a thing?" "Get out of my house!"
Spike's anger made the Wolf angry and he began to snarl at Spike. Then he jumped on Spike and knocked him to the floor. It began to snarl loudly in Spike's face and it became obvious it wanted to kill Spike.
Suddenly Spike's heart was full of fear and he yelled out "please Mr. wolf don't kill me."
Then he managed to push the Wolf off of himself. He then made a run for it and ran outside into the cold night.
Spike had wandered quite aways into the woods now. He was so cold out in this frigid weather he was shivering. And then it suddenly occurred to him. "Wait a minute I'm a big fierce dragon why did I run from a Timberwolf." And so Spike headed back for his home.
When he reached his home he found the door was locked tightly. Spike realized any keys he had were in the house. So now Spike would have to figure out a way to get back in his own house.
He looked in the window the Timberwolf was laying in Spike's bed drinking a bottle of Spike's dragon whiskey.
"That does it!" Spike yelled "I must get rid of this wolf."
Then Spike had an idea. He went and knocked on the door. Then he began to mock the sound of a sheep. "Baa baa baa" he said.
The wolf then heard it and came to the door he unlocked it and opened it. He screamed when he saw the angry face of Spike.
Spike picked up the Wolf with one hand grabbed his door key. Then he threw the Wolf far off way out into the middle of the everfree forest. Then he went back in his house and locked the door behind him.
"Look at this mess," Spike said looking over his house.
There were busted whiskey bottles lying around all the blankets on his bed were out of order and what was left of his playing cards were scattered everywhere.
"The nerve of some creatures," he said. And he began cleaning up his house.
When he had finished fixing his house up Spike was tired and was just about to go to sleep when there was a knock at the door.
Spike thought "who could that be?" Surely the Wolf wasn't back. So he answered the door.
A big black bear stood at the door. And he spoke with a British accent and said "why did you mistreat my pet Timberwolf Joe so harshly?" He looked very mad.
Spike laughed "that wolf was your Pet?" He asked. "Well your Pet ate my playing cards destroyed several bottles of Dragon Whiskey and tried to kill me. So he got what he deserved."
The bear said "I don't believe you Joe would never do that. And now I'll tear you limb from limb." Then he began to charge in the door at Spike.
So Spike breathed fire on the bear. The bear screamed as he started on fire and ran out the door and off into the night. Then Spike closed and locked the door and then he went to bed.
In the middle of the night another loud sound woke Spike up again. What was that? He wondered he looked around. There staring in the window was none other than Discord. Spike went back to sleep.
The End
