The Legacy of Spike

The Legacy of Spike

Chapter 1

Entry # 4

Today, RD is coming back from Cloudsdale. I think that i’ll ask her to be my mentor in flying. I might let Scootaloo tag along with me, I know how much that little filly admires RD. I just feel so sad for her, I mean, she’s almost at the age when most filly’s are able to enter the Best Young Flyers Competition. I gotta ask RD is other species are able to join the competition. I hope they are, I might consider joining. Heh, RD might actually *have** some competition. I hope that I don’t intimidate the other competitors too much, that wouldn’t be too good. But, that is if they let me join. And if other species are allowed to enter. I gotta get used to my new height. It’s really bothering me and some ponies around town. Although, Twilight keeps reassuring them that I am not a threat to anypony, i’m pretty sure that they don’t believe her. I’m not even sure if I believe her! But there is one good thing that came with the new height. I finally my own room! Sure, it’s in the basement. And sure, it has bugs crawling all over the place. But, that doesn’t matter to me, as long as I get to have my own room. Besides, I get to use the mutated bugs(don’t ask) as target practice. I swear they keep getting bigger and bigger every day, i’m starting to get worried... CRAP! That thing was HUGE! I gotta show Twilight this thing.*

“Hey, Twi!” Spike called, bounding up the stairs to the main floor of the library. Where Twilight was conveniently taking a sip of her smoldering coffee. “Hey, Twi. Check out the size of this roach!” He yelled, shoving the half burnt cockroach in her face.

Twilight took one whiff of the burnt mutated bug(again don’t ask) and spewed he coffee all over Spike. Unfortunately, his eyes were open the entire time. “Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry, Spike.” She said, chuckling lightly.

Spike’s eyes quickly became irritated. “Argh!” He screamed. “My eyes! My eyes! It burns!” His knees buckled and he feigned passing out. Being the egghead she it, Twilight fell for it.

“Oh my gosh! Spike, are you alright? Do you need to go to the clinic? Stay here, i’ll go get Fluttershy!” She turned around and headed for the door, when she heard chuckling from behind her.

“I can’t believe you fell for that, Twi. Again! You know that dragons are unaffected by anything hot.” He stopped and thought for a moment. “Well, they are unless it’s a really hot mare. Mmmm...Rarity.” He said dreamily.

Twilight’s cheeks turned a deep shade of red. “Spike! How can you say that? And about one of our best friends, nonetheless!” She said. When she remembered what made her panic in the first place, she looked back up at him and the blush quickly left her cheeks. Her purple coat turned to a pristine white one and her mane became engulfed in flames. “You tricked me!” She shouted. “You made me think that I had actually hurt you!”

Oh. shit Was all Spike could think before she charged at him. He quickly made his decision and ran out the door as fast as he could. Well, he would have ran out the door. If it weren’t for the short doorway that knocked him it the face when he stood up.

“Ow! I gotta remember that I have to get down on all fours from now on out.” He said to himself. He resumed run--er..galloping? Out the doorway and made his way across Ponyville.

He was almost home-free from the enraged mare when a blue blur tackled him to the ground. At first he thought it was Twilight, but then he remembered that Twilight didn’t have a blue coat, she had a white one, at this particular time.

“Ugh, Rainbow Dash! Get off of me! I gotta get away from Twi!” Spike screamed.

“Oh, no you don’t!” She shouted, grabbing his tail in between her teeth and flinging him upwards. She flew up to him and slammed him into the ground with a well placed buck. “Who are you! And what have you done to Spike?!” She yelled at him.

“What are you talking about, RD? I am Spi-” He was interrupted by a buck to the jaw. He kneeled over and coughed up blood and a few teeth. He looked back up at Dash. “What the hell, Dash? Why’d you knock my teeth ou-” He was bucked in the stomach this time. It sent him flying a few feet. Into a nearby crown of vendors. He could tell that he had probably broken a few ribs, maybe punctured a lung. He figured he should just wait for Twilight to come to stop her maniac friend, before he ended up in the hospital.

Dash slowly walked up to him. “Now tell me the truth! Who are you?! And where is Spike?! The real Spike!” She screamed.

“Dash, stop! That is the real Spike! Stop hurting him!” Twilight yelled as she pushed through the crowd that had gathered around them.

Dash looked down at the bleeding dragon. When she recognized his emerald eyes, she flinched. “Sp-Spike?” She asked.

“Yeah, Dash?” Spike replied, his breath becoming shallower by the second.

Her eyes began to water up as she realized what she had done. “Spike, i’m so, so sorry. I had no idea it was you. Come on, let’s get you to the hospital.” She said. She got close to him to wait for a reply, when she noticed that he wasn’t breathing anymore. “Spike? Spike?! Spike!!” She screamed. “Spike, get up! Come one, buddy! Get up!”

Twilight ran over to Rainbow Dash and teleported them to the Ponyville Memorial Hospital. When they were teleported into the lobby, the nurses, doctors, and patients were dazed by the sudden flash of light.

The receptionist looked over at the group. “Wha- Oh my. Get me a stretcher! And quick!” She yelled. A few volunteer’s brought in a stretcher from another room. They placed Spike on it and wheeled him away. The nurse told Twilight and Rainbow Dash to wait in the lobby. A short while later, Rainbow Dash decided to go get the other’s, while Twilight stayed to await the news of Spike’s condition.

Entry #1

Dear Celestia, what have I done? I’ve critically injured one of my friends, just because I jumped to conclusions. I hope the damage isn’t too bad. I hope Spike isn’t left with any serious damage. I should’ve been paying closer attention. I would’ve seen the emerald eyes that were pleading for mercy. I wish I could’ve stopped myself in time. I don’t know what to do. This is my first entry in the journal that Twi gave me. I just can’t stop thinking about what I did to Spike. I feel horrible for it.
