Dark Times in Ponyville
Prologue: The Picnic
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSo the story begins with the skies that are super clear, the sun is up, Pegasus ponies are flying about and right below on the fields are all the ponies having a fabulous picnic. Rarity had a decorative cloth ready for the ground, Pinkie Pie and Applejack had the snacks and beverages, Fluttershy of course provided the excellent spot on the field to have the picnic, Twilight had a list of all the things needed for the picnic and has checked off everything on the list including the; "Rainbow Dash sleeping on a tree branch in order to avoid helping out setting up the picnic."
So now that everypony was having a wonderful time on this picnic, Spike most of all because he was eating up all the snacks, but that’s beside the point… the point is that Twilight and friends were having a spectacular picnic day ever, there was laughter, birds chirping, other animals at peace, even other ponies that were at the fields were also having a tremendous picnic. But then there was something unusual happening also, a few ponies from other picnic sites were started to act a little rude and out of line for reasons unknown. The negativity grew and grew on those three random ponies and then they took off to their separate ways, Twilight and friends wanted to figure out what that was all about but for now they have explanation for it.
So in the meantime that was put aside until it became a serious problem, meanwhile back at the library/home… twilight was just packing up in order to go to Canterlot on some official business and while she does that, Spike; her loyal assistant has to stay put and watch the place while she's away, of course he never did agreed to stay put and watch the house and also he too wanted to go with Twilight but couldn't because someone has to keep an eye on the house and that someone is Spike... and plus Twilight has to go alone, she can't bring Spike or any pony else. And so for that, Spike has to stay behind and watch the house, Twilight was already on her way to Canterlot and as she was about to leave, she tells Spike;
"Spike, try to make sure the house stays spotless when I come back." After that she closes the door, Spike exhaled his breath in relaxation, and then the door opens again and Twilight tells Spike; "and don't you dare get into any trouble either." After that she left and good ol' Spike is all alone in the library/home with nothing to do and no one to talk to.
"So I'll just... wait here till you get back. Great." He then rolls his eyes because he knew he had to stay put in the library until Twilight's return.
