Season 3: Episode 11 - The Spoon Bends Part 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSilver Platter crossed off a thing off a giant list of what seemed to be plots when Silver Spoon showed up behind him.
"You did this last plot without me?" Silver Spoon asked.
"Had to. As much as I enjoy your company, I would never ask you to dirty yourself like I had to. Trust me, my mother was washing me up until now thinking I just ran around in the mud." Silver Platter said. The latest addition to this list; tittled "Medal Theft Plots"; was "Massive Garbage Dump".
"...Wait, you went with a garbage dump plan?" Silver Spoon asked.
"Well what else was I supposed to do? Nothing else has worked so far." Silver Platter said as some flash backs started playing.
"Not gonna lie, this first idea is kind of ingenious." Silver Spoon said.
"Heh heh...well...it would be fun~" Silver Platter said and then went up to Nyx.
"What do you want, Silver Platter?" Nyx asked.
"Just figured I'd say I'm really sorry for the way I was acting when we first met. And just to show how sorry I am, I was thinking, that while I'm making amends here, I must say I really like that medal of yours." Silver Platter said.
"Oh? Yeah it's a very special medal." Nyx said. Maybe he's not so bad after all. The alicorn filly thought to herself.
"If you don't mind me suggesting though, a medal that rare is bound to be the target of some really nasty ponies. I know I can be nasty myself, but I ain't talking about a bully, I'm talking about a no good rotten theif." Silver Platter said.
"Your right. I should ask mom if she can enchant this thing to prevent anyone but me from touching it. Not a bad idea. Despite being a bully, you ain't a bad pony." Nyx said.
"But until then, perhaps keeping it would be far more dangerous. Tell you what, I'm willing to amend my bully ways if you're willing to let me borrow it...at least for a day." Silver Platter said.
Oh, nice try Silver Platter. Nyx thought to herself. "Yeah no. Sorry no dice. You really thought buttering me up like that was going to work? I see what your planning from a mile away Silver Platter. Pretty good attempt though. Now I really got to talk to mom about an anti-theft spell." Nyx said.
The next set of various flashbacks would be Silver Platter and Silver Spoon doing their best to take the medal from Nyx, with more sneakier methods. Until eventually, all those plans were nixed; no pun intended; when the Anti-Theft Spell went off.
"...After that time when we got zapped by the Anti-theft spell, seeing as we couldn't just steal it away anymore, I had come up with the only other solution: Burry it and the library under a mountain of trash." Silver Platter said.
"Ah. If she couldn't find it, she wouldn't be able to put it on in time for school. So, then what went wrong?" Silver Spoon asked.
"Everything. By the time the entire library woke up, Twilight had already magic blasted the garbage through the window, and it covered me in its entirety. I'm lucky today wasn't a school day and you'd be out of town with your parents." Silver Platter said.
"Well then, I hate to say it, but we've hit rock bottom. Nothing left to dig up." Silver Spoon said.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Silver Platter exclaimed.
"I said there's nothing left to dig up. Because we HAVE nothing else to come up with. Perhaps this was a sign that we should just...you know...give up." Silver Spoon said.
"Give up? Give up?! GIVE UP?!" Silver Platter exclaimed. "Silver Platter does not GIVE UP." He added.
"Face it, we've got nothing left." Silver Spoon said.
"Tch. I just need one thing to put that entire group in its place once and for all. Just one final task to once and for all, show whose REALLY in command. There's that contest for the honor to carry the Ponyville flag for the upcoming Equestria Games at the Crystal Empire yes? Then, here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to sabotage the act of the Cutie Mark Crusaders in the best way possible." Silver Platter said.
"Really? How's that?" Silver Spoon asked.
"How else?" Silver Platter asked before heading to the door. "I'm going to make Scootaloo become so overcome with depression, she'll become so desperate to fly, she'll try, and FAIL." Silver Platter said before leaving.
Silver Spoon's eyes went wide. "No...NO I WON'T LET YOU!" Silver Spoon exclaimed and rushed out of the house.
Scootaloo was practicing her part for the flag carrying contest.
"Hey Blank Flank." Silver Platter said as he came up to the pegasus.
"You again? If all you've got are names, then try harder." Scootaloo said.
"I think I've discovered why your such a blank flank: You can't fly." Silver Platter said.
"Wh-what?!" Scootaloo asked, shocked.
"That's right. Without the ability to fly, you'll never get a cutie mark. You'll never win the flag carrying contest. Sure, Rainbow Dash is the judge, but do you think she'll go easy on you just because your her sister? No. She has to be fair, she has to treat you like everypony else." Silver Platter said.
"S-so? What's your point? I don't mind if Rainbow Dash uses some tough love. It'll just encourage me to do even more?" Scootaloo asked, voice shaky.
"Because without the ability to fly, you ain't impressing her. She's a future Shadowbolt, and that means she WANTS to see you FLY above all else. Because otherwise, she ain't going to declare you the winner. And you can't fly. Meaning you won't ever, ever ever ever ever ever, meet Rainbow Dash's approval." Silver Platter said. "EVER!" He added for emphasis.
In the normal timeline, Scootaloo would've started to fall into a deep depression, but that's when the impossible happened...
"SCOOTALOO DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!" Silver Spoon yelled out, coming up to the pair.
