Previous ChapterNext Chapter

At the Canterlot Castle, the delegates across the Equestria; including Sliver Buster and the Human Council, and different creatures were invited for a special event. Everyone had set the tents up within the castle's walls for entertainment and food for everyone to enjoy. They were all happy and excited about the event. And they all can't wait to start one.

At the Dining Hall, everyone chatted with each other about how important the event is especially a cloak over a strange yet mysterious statue-like. What was it?

A fanfare sounded. Everyone immediately turned and headed to the stage. They all stood before it including Ash, Twinkle Ashley, Duke, and Drake Trio. They all saw Royal Princesses of Equestria and a dragon stood on the stage before them. But one of them, Princess Twilight was half-awake and half-asleep. The event has begun...

Using her Royal Canterlot Voice, Princess Luna announced proudly, "Welcome to the Grand Equestria Pony Summit!"

The crowd then cheered wildly and happily! They were all excited and happy for the event including Mystic Ponies and Different Creatures across the Mortal Realm. They can't wait to start the Grand Equestria Pony Summit which involved uniting both Equestria and Mystic as one.

Princess Celestia smiled as she took over, "You delegates have traveled far and wide to represent your cities and country as we seek to celebrate and learn from all the unique places that make up our wonderful land of Equestria. At tonight's welcome reception, Princess Cadance will dedicate this beautiful friendship statue made up of gemstones from each of your home cities."

Without any interruption or disturbance, Princess Celestia levitated the cloak up. It was revealed to be a crystallized tall yet large pony. It consisted of colorful and several gemstones. Everyone was awed in surprise and amazed at the statue especially some dragons who wanted it so badly.

"I... am... Root..." Grunt mumbled happily.

Duke licked happily, "You said it. It's beautiful..."

Jeff nudged both of his sworn brothers in snapping to reality, "Remember! We're not supposed to eat it! We're here to support Spike and his family."

Duke groaned, "Don't remind me..."

Root muttered in agreement, "I am Root..."

But they weren't the only dragons who wanted the statue, Spike also find it delicious and tasty too as well. He licked his mouth happily that he wanted to eat it. Twilight nudged on his back gently in snapping him back to reality. He smiled nervously and innocently that he couldn't help it. But nevertheless, she smiled in understanding.

Princess Celestia continued, "Now I'd like to turn things over to the one who organized the summit: Princess Twilight Sparkle!"

Heard her queue, Twilight Sparkle smiled as she approached the front at once while everyone cheered happily and wildly, and even gave applause for her.

Despite tired and sleepy, Twilight Sparkle spoke of her speech, "Thank you, everypony. With delegates from over fifty cities and twelve countries of Mystic Realm attending three days of conferences, receptions, and meetings, this is the largest Grand Equestria Pony Summit yet. And let me tell you, putting it all together has led to more than one sleepless night. We're so excited to have you here and to learn more about life all across this great united land of ours."

Twilight Sparkle's speech had touched and inspired their hearts and minds. The crowd cheered and gave applause to her. They were great to have her.

"One sleepless night?" Ashley scoffed, "Yeah... Tried three sleepless nights. Kinda like what my mom did when she was a healer when it comes to saving lives."

Nyx shrugged, "That's my mummy. When it comes to organizing the event, she won't stop until everything is certain and ready for the event."

"If you ask me, that's overdue. She should have asked some of us to take over and help out," Ash said in concern, "I just hope she didn't push herself hard."

Duke yawned boringly while both Jeff and Root glared at him. He shrugged innocently as he couldn't help it since he hated boring events like press conferences or presentations. It bored him to death...

Spike pulled Twilight Sparkle's tail hard. She turned and looked at him. He smiled innocently yet happily with large pupils like begging or reminding her.

Twilight Sparkle smiled, "And now my faithful assistant Spike would like to say a few words."

Spike moved to the front at once as he began his speech. It was his first time doing it. He took a deep breath and spoke up about what he wanted to say, "Um, hello, everypony! I'm here to help any way I can. So if there's anything I can do for any of you—"

"We love you, Princess Twilight!" Delegate #1 exclaimed happily.

Delegate #2 cried, "We love all the princesses!"

And nevertheless, the crowd cheered wildly and happily as they all agreed that they all loved the princesses. Not only they were just rulers of Equestria, but a great noble and kindhearted teachers, saviors, and leaders they ever had in Equestria. The Princesses smiled back.

Shadow Dragon and the children smiled as they gave applause for Twilight Sparkle since she's part of their family. Drake Trio wasn't pleased with it though. They felt that ponies didn't treat or respect Spike as equal and one of them.

"Talk about respect," Duke scowled a bit.

Jef shrugged, "Well... The Princesses or Royalties are considered to be the highest rank in ruling Equestria. Therefore, Spike was not considered to be royalty since he's just a Dragon. Nothing can be done..."

"I am Root..." Grunt said unhappily and sadly.

Boomer and Rob sighed, "We know..."

Spike sighed, "I guess everypony loves a princess. Hmph."

Though Spike did a heroic and noble sacrifice and bravery in saving Crystal Empire, he was scared and worried to face thousands of crowds because of his fear of failure and embarrassment. After the Equestria Games, he tried to be confident and today was his day. But it's ruined since he was not important and left out from a special event again. The Princesses are special. And he wishes he could be one...

...
...

You know you can help me than doing nothing, Boom."

Duke huffed, "If you mean the books? Forget it. I'm not so into the books. I hate reading."

"And I thought Rainbow Dash is the only one who hates the books before."

"By the way, wanna tell us why you like this place? Those ponies sure got a lot of nerve disrespecting then cheering you up."

Jeff hummed in agreement as he and Spike shuffled a d shoved the books into the shelves, "He does have the point. You did save the Crystal Empire. And you rescued us and saved your family too especially the Princess. The ponies didn't give you the chance to talk."

Root hummed and nodded in agreement, "I... am... Root..."

Spike sighed, "Don't worry. I'm used to it anyway. I'm not that important anyway."

"As if... You're the son of General Spiketail - the legendary Dragon General and Hero!" Duke exclaimed in annoyance. He scoffed, "And I'd say you're important since he is the one who helped the Ponies win the Demon War and free the Dragons."

...
...

As four ponies left the tower guest-chamber, they walked down the stairs while having some discussion. And hopefully that the dragons will keep Twilight from being disturbed...

"Do you think Spike and his friends can handle it?" Ash asked in concern.

Princess Cadance smiled, "Of course. This is Spike we're talking about. He can handle it. After all, he is Twilight's number one assistant she ever had."

Twinkle smiled, "She's right. Mummy will be fine. I promise you for that."

He sighed in concern, "It's his friends that worries me. I suspect that they might up to something."

"What makes you say that, dad?" Ashley asked suspiciously. He scoffed a bit, "Duke may be a bit hotheaded and tough dragon but he's a good and loyal friend like Rainbow Dash. Jeff is a smart good dragon to do something stupid, even though it was quite annoying and boring to hear his theory and science."

"And don't forget about Root. He maybe a big and tough dragon," She squealed happily, "He's a nice dragon. I'm sure that they can be trusted."

"Hmm... I hope you're right," Ash said in concern, "I just hope they're not doing anything stupid when helping Twilight Sparkle."

All three of them looked confused and worried about what Ash had said. What does he mean?

Inside the bed-chamber, Twilight Sparkle was snoring and sleeping happily and calmly while Spike and his Dragon Friends marched around the area in guarding her and making sure that she is not disturbed. But at the same time, it was boring.

"Worst guarding the princess ever..."

"What do you expect? An excitement or battles? Well, I for once want to have peace and quiet without some rebellion or demons to deal with. I've just had enough of that. And at the same time, I can study some theory and engineer books when we get back to Ponyville."

"I should have stayed at home with Bishop. That guy put a great act of comedian."

"Really?" Jeff and Root asked him.

"Yeah, he can put on quite a show."

Spike approached to the window. He used a telescope in spying and checking the area of Canterlot. He had to make sure that everything is peace and quiet. No noise disturbed his princess. He saw a mother carrying the wheeled crib of a baby, he saw a stallion drinking tea and a mime performing and entertaining before the crowds. Spike smiled in please that everything is good...

As Spike continued his monitoring the area and making sure Twilight Sparkle was not disturbed, he stopped as he heard a tweeting noise. He turned back to the window as he used the telescope in finding the source of the noise. He found a bird singing at the top of the castle's tower pin.

He groaned in annoyance as he quickly left the bed chamber at once. He then climbed up all the way to top. He quickly spoke.

"Uh, excuse me? Can you keep it down a little?" Spike asked. The bird was annoyed as it flew straight to the tower bed-chamber. He gasped, "Oh no!"

Spike returned to the bed-chamber at once. He saw the bird still singing while standing still on Twilight Sparkle's horn. Boomer was tempted in whacking on it for making noise while both Rob and Grunt held him tight and kept his mouth shut from making noise. Twilight Sparkle was still sleeping. This is serious!

Spike approached the bird as he begged frantically, "I'll give you birdseed! Worms! Anything! Just please stop singing before you wake the princess!"

The bird stopped as it looked down at once. It was a surprise and shock. The dragons became nervous, worried, and scared as they wondered if the bird did heed their begging. They prayed it's good news. They got the answer - the bird bowed in respect as it turned and flew off to the window. The dragons sighed in relief.

"Huh. I can't believe that worked." Spike said in relief. He turned and found three dragons glaring at him. He looked worried and scared as he asked, "What?"

"You could have closed the window?"

"Honestly... That singing bird was hardly a problem for us to deal with."

Before any of the dragons could ask, they all heard the noise especially the shouting part. The dragons approached the window. They all saw ponies playing the polo outside the Canterlot Courtyard while the spectators cheering wildly and loudly for them. This had caused Twilight Sparkle groaned from being disturbed by the noise.

Spike groaned in annoyance. Before Jeff could speak anything, Spike headed off at once followed by Boomer and Grunt. Rob groaned in annoyance as he hated being ignored when his plan was logical and avoidable.

As one of the polo ponies shot the ball straight to the pole goal, Spike jumped up and grabbed the ball before landing on the ground. They gasped in shock as they were angered. They approached and glared at him. He interrupted their games.

"Uh, hi fellas. Sorry to break up your game," Spike apologized innocently, "but there's sort of an important diplomatic summit kind of thingy going on, and it involves a princess needing to sleep, and, uh..."

Spike gulped in concern as he watched ponies getting angry with him. And before they could do anything, they heard the stomping and felt the ground shaking once. They turned and found Root and Duke glaring at them. The polo ponies gulped in concern.

"Do us a favor?"He smirked darkly. The ponies gulped in concern. He said, "Can you move your ass game somewhere else? Root is not a happy dragon too."

The polo ponies looked at each other for the moment. They all know what to do. They smiled nervously and nodded in agreement. They took the ball and poles as they walked away at once.

"The princess thanks you for your understanding!" Spike thanked happily as he turned to his dragon pals, "Thanks, guys. I owe you all."

"No problem...What took you long?"

"Was this necessary? Like I said before, we could-!"

BUZZ! The dragons stopped as they turned and found greenish Horticultural Pegasus activated his chainsaw as he was cutting down the branches from some trees. The dragons immediately approached to the trees. They climbed to top and spoke with the Pegasus.

"Uh, Excuse me. Do you have to do this right now?" Spike got interrupted as he sneezed out. Why does he sneeze? He looked and found some strange flowers attached to branches and leaves. He gasped, "Oh, no! Are those dragon-sneeze trees?"

"Yup." Horticultural Pegasus nodded in agreement, "Wouldn't take much to bring these beauties down."

"Can't you just wait a few hours?" Spike asked while rubbing his eyes.

...
...

Time had passed as the dragons did what can to make sure that Twilight was fully rested and not disturbed in any way but naturally they did know that the end would result in chaos, as the conference room was a royal mess ( Pun Intended).

Spike explained to all the Pones what happened, but it backfired as Jeff was mad at him for ignoring him , which made Duke mad at him.

"Wow... That's harsh..." Star Thunder remarked.

Ashley groaned, "Really?"

Duke whacked his spear on Jeff's head, "You'd take that back, Robby! Spike doesn't deserve this! He just want to help! Why can't you be more helpful and supportive!"

"He could have taken the advice in first place!" Jeff exclaimed in anger, "But all he want is attention! He's such a spoiled brat! I don't him to be reminded of you again! I want him to be smarter than you!"

"Take that back!"

"Forget it!"

"Take that back!"

"NO!"

Duke roared in anger as he rammed Jeff to the ground. Both the dragons punched each other's faces hard and quick while screamed angrily and wildly. Everyone watched the event as they were all in concerned and worried. Are they going to let a fight ruined their friendship?!

Spike couldn't believe that two of his friends were helping him. And all he repaid them is fighting and ignorance of friendship. This is not what summit was about! This is not what Twilight Sparkle was fighting! This is something he refused to see!

"STOP!" Spike shouted at once. Everyone turned and looked at him with their shock and concern. What does he want?

"Uh, hi there, everypony. So I guess I owe you all a pretty big apology. I got a little carried away. It-it just felt so good to have ponies caring about my opinions on such important matters. I guess I was just enjoying feeling like a princess." Spike explained in concern. He sighed, "It's funny. Here we are at a summit that brings together ponies from all across Equestria, and all I could think about was myself. You all came here to celebrate the things that make each of our cities so unique and special. But instead of getting into the spirit of things like all of you, I used my friend's position to make myself feel good. And the worse is I made my dragon friends fighting with each other when they were helping me. I should have been more thoughtful of them."

The delegates were surprise and shock to see and hear what Spike had said. He actually taking responsibility of the mess?!

Spike gathered some jewels as much as he can. But there too many for him to carry. Suddenly, Root came and help Spike carrying the jewels up after he removed himself from door. Spike was surprise and shock to see a wooden dragon helping him.

"Root... You don't have to help me," Spike said in concern, "I make the mistake. I have to fix it. You didn't get involved in my problems."

Root shook his head while smiling, "We... Are... Root..."

Everyone and even dragons were surprise, shock and amazed of what they just heard. Not only Grunt was able to speak other words than just 'I am Root', but his was very inspiring, emotional and touching they ever hear...

Spike smiled happily as the two of them began building the statue up. Both Jeff and Duke looked at each other for the moment. They really want to kill each other for not helping Spike but instead they smiled. They turned and went towards their friends. They helped their dragon friends gathered the gems and build them together a Mare Statue of Thousand Gems.

The delegates were surprised and shocked to see the dragons were redeeming the mistake they had make. They looked at each other for the moment. They all smiled and nodded in agreement. As Spike was about to grab the red gem. It was levitated. The dragons turned and found Fancy Pants stood before him. Instead of angry, he shown his gentle smile.

"The Canterlot ruby goes here, old sport." Fancy Pants said as he placed a ruby on top of Mare Statue's legs.

Followed by peach gem near to a ruby, Whinnyapolis Delegate smiled, "And ours goes here, don't'cha know?"

Spike and Drake Trio were surprise and shock to see the delegates from both Equestria and Mystic Realm were helping them build the Mare Statue of Thousand Gems. Instead of stopping, they continued building it up. The statue is ready and complete!

"Does this mean you forgive us?" Spike asked in surprise.

Manehattan Delegate smiled as he looked at the statue, "Sure! You know, the whole idea of the statue is that when each of us plays our own small part, it adds up to somethin' great."

"Quite. Just like how all our cities make up the beautiful land of Equestria!" Fancy Pants agreed and smiled, "As a wise words from wooden dragon said - 'We... Are... Root...'."

Princess Cadance smiled as she declared, "I hereby dedicate the Citizens of Equestria statue to everypony who plays their part, no matter how big or how small!"

The delegates cheered wildly and happily to hear. They had the best summit ever - not because of the event but how important value it is about unity and friendship.

"Strange... But true..." Star Thunder smiled, " I figured what 'We are Grunt' means. There's no 'I' in team."

Ashley smiled, "You said it. Root is really a wise dragon we ever had. Hell, he may prove to be Starswirl the Bearded's Reincarnation."

He chuckled, "Funny... Definitely funny..."

Duke, Jeff and Root had the chats for the moment about the event. They did make a mess in the first place especially putting Spike i n troubles.

"Listen, just wanna say - sorry for the mess," Duke apologized.

Jeff sighed, "Me too. I'm sorry as well. I guess I should try to be relax or could have stop the problem in time before things get out of hand. Pals?"

"Pals..." He smiled.

Root smiled as he hugged Boomer and Grunt happily, "We... Are... Root..."

Ash and Twinkle approached Spike. Spike was about to say but hugged by Twinkle. He hugged her back. Ash smiled to see Spike learned his lesson.

Spike sighed, "Twinks, I'm sorry for being a jerk."

"It's okay. And I'm sorry for having an argument with you," Nyx sighed, "I just don't want my brother to be a jerk and selfish..."

"I know... But thanks," Spike smiled.

Ash smiled, "Well done, Spike. Twilight would be proud of you."

Spike smiled happily. He was glad that everything is okay now.

Suddenly, the door was opened as it was revealed the happy Twilight Sparkle who whistled happily as she entered the dining hall.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Sorry, I'm late. I just had some naps after what I did for three days organizing the summit event. I hope you find it entertaining and happy. I hope nothing ruin the summit," Twilight Sparkle said happily. As she looked around, she found the hall a mess and even delegates waved at her. She blinked of shock and surprise, "Did I miss something?"

Ash smiled as he patted Twilight Sparkle's shoulder, "I'll explain it later. But for now, enjoy the summit..."
