The Legacy of Spike

Chapter 3

Entry #6

Finally! Today, Twilight said that I might be able to get out. They kept me here just so they could watch me. I am finally completely healed. I still have to be careful with what I do for a few days, but Twilight knows that’s not gonna happen. After all, I am *very** eager to start flying. The Cutie Mark Crusaders don’t know about this whole... ‘situation’, yet. I’m probably going to prank them.I understand why RD hates hospital’s. I mean, there food tastes like cardboard. And trust me, i’ve eaten cardboard before(thanks to a dare from RD and Scoots). The painkiller’s that they are giving me, work very well. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain I would be in if they didn’t use the medicine.*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Okay, Spike. It’s time for your painkiller’s.” Nurse Redheart said cheerfully, grabbing the quickly diminishing bottle of pills on the nightstand.

“So, Redheart.” Spike said while swallowing the pills. “Do you know when I can leave?” He asked.

“Actually, you’ve been able to leave for the last couple of hours. We just need you to sign the form so you can leave.” She said.

“But, doesn’t Twilight usually sign that thing?”

“Yes, she usually does. But, in this case. You’re now old enough to do these things for yourself. So you don’t need her permission for anything anymore. Well, not everything. There are still some things that you need to run by her before you do them.” She explained. “So, are you ready to leave?” She asked him.

“Yeah! Uh, no offense, Redheart. It’s just that the food here tastes horrible and I haven’t  had a gem in a couple of days. So, where’s the form?”

Nurse Redheart walked out of Spike’s room and came back a few moments later with a clipboard in her hooves.”It’s right here. You just need to sign here, initial here, and fingerprint here.” She said, pointing to each location with her hoof. Spike signed in the designated spots. After he was done, he got a sling for his arm and headed out of the hospital.

Finally He thought to himself. I’ve waited long enough to get out of there. I wonder where Rainbow Dash is.

His emerald eyes searched the cloud’s above him. After a few minutes of searching, his eyes spotted a multi-colored tail. “Hey, Rainbow Dash!” He called to his friend. She turned over in her sleep and rolled off of the cloud. “Shit.” He whispered to himself. He took off sprinting to where she was going to crash.

Almost there. He thought.

In a last ditch attempt, he dived right beneath her as she crashed into his back. The crash jolted her awake.

“Huh? Wha? Oh, Spike. It’s just you. Wait, how’d you get up on my cloud?” She asked, drowsily.

“I didn’t come up to your cloud. You rolled off it in your sleep. You would’ve broken something if I didn’t happen to make a soft landing pad for you.  Has anypony ever told you that you’re a heavy sleeper?” He asked.

“Uh, yeah. I get that alot.” She replied, a blush creeping up on her face. “So, when did you get out of hospital?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I just got out about one hour ago. Why do you ask?”

“I wanted to know what the rude interruption of my nap was for.”

“Ok, i’ll tell you once you get off my back. Don’t want anymore broken ribs, now do we?”

“Oh, i’m so sorry, Spike.” Rainbow Dash said, jumping off of his back. “Now, can you please tell me why you needed me?” She asked.

He got up and brushed off some dust that had stuck to him. “I needed you so I could see what time we were going to start my training. I was also thinking of bringing along a friend. If that’s okay with you.” He said.

“Oh...Uh. Well, what time do you wanna start?” She asked. “And, yes. It’s fine with me if you bring one of your friends along. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?” She said jokingly.

Spike opened his mouth to reply, when he got a mouthful of blue hoof stopping him. “Do not even begin that sentence.” Rainbow Dash removed her hoof from his mouth, and wiped it on a random passerby.

“But, you don’t even know what I was going to say.” He said.

“Oh, do I? You were probably going to tell me exactly what could go wrong. And, right now. I don’t wanna hear it. Got it?” She asked.

“Sir, yes, sir--er--Ma’am.” Spike saluted, standing at attention.

“So, you want to learn how to fly?” She asked.

“Uh, Dash. Before we start, can I go get my friend?” He asked.

“Oh, yeah, Sure, just make sure your friend is a pegasus, ok?”

“Obviously.” Spike said as he ran off to get his friend: Scootaloo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spike was currently standing outside of the CMC’s clubhouse in Sweet Apple Acres. He was wondering if this was a good idea after all. He knew how unpredictable the Cutie Mark Crusaders were. They could end the world if they wanted to(of course he was exaggerating, hopefully).

“Okay, now I just need to find a way to fit inside their clubhouse. I know that i’m too big to fit inside it anymore. Oh! Wait, I can just call them out.” He said to himself. “Hey, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo. Can you come out here for a second?!” He shouted .

He was waiting for a couple of minutes when he saw them walk out. “Who do you think is calling us?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Ah’ don’t know! It didn’t sound like anypony we know.” Apple Bloom said.

Scootaloo was going to comment, when she saw Spike. Hey eyes immediately widened. “D-Dragon!” They all shouted in unison. They scrambled back into the clubhouse and slammed the door shut. “G-Go away! There aren’t any fillies in here!” One of them shouted.

“Eenope, no fillies in here.” Apple Bloom shouted.

Spike sighed. “Girls, I know you’re in there. Why don’t you come on out and i’ll explain everything. I’ll try to leave the gory details out. Besides, I can’t stay here all day. We wouldn’t want to leave Rainbow Dash hangin’, now would we?” Spike smirked.

He heard the fumbling of a lock come soon after. All three fillies tried to squeeze themselves through the doorway at the same time. Scootaloo was the first to recover. “Who are you?! And what have you done to Rainbow Dash?” She screamed.

“Oh, it’s not what I did to her, but what she did to me. Apple Bloom, didn’t AJ tell you that I was in the hospital? Same for you Sweetie Belle. Hopefully, Rarity at least mentioned something.”

“Well, my sis did say something about Spike in the hospital...” Sweetie Belle looked up at Spike with a smile. “Spike! You’re okay!” She yelled, running up to him and embracing him in a hug.

“Yeah, Sweetie, i’m fine.” Spike looked up at the other Crusader’s. “But, that’s not why i’m here.” He specifically looked over at Scootaloo. “Hey, Scoots,” She looked at him. “How would you like to come with me to my flying lessons. With Rainbow Dash, might I add.” He said smiling.

She gasped. “With the most cool-est, awesom-est, radical-est pegasus in Equestria?” She exclaimed, Spike nodded. “YES!” She yelled at the top of her lungs.

“Ok, hop on.” He said, crouching down. Scootaloo hopped on and blushed. Spike chuckled and ran off towards the waiting Rainbow Dash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey, Dash!” Spike shouted. He spotted the mare dozing off in the clouds above them. “Hey, Rainbow Dash! I got my friend!” The cyan mare turned around and her eyes widened.

“Scootaloo! Your Spike’s friend?” She asked.

“Yeah, is that so surprising, Dash?” Spike asked. “She’s been my friend for a couple of year’s. Ever since her and the other Cutie Mark Crusaders tried getting their Cutie Marks in dragon ‘slaying’ we’ve been very good friends.

“Well, it’s kind of surprising. I mean, she’s been trying to get me to train her for like, ever! Ugh, now I have two foal’s to train.” She sighed.

“Wait, Spike. What is this about ‘training’ me?” Scootaloo asked.

“Oh, she just said that I could bring a friend to tag along to train with me. And I guess that’s you.” He said smirking. From Rainbow Dash’s point of view, she could she Scootaloo blushing. She smirked. She knew the signs of love from spending so much time around Rarity.

“Ok. So, let’s get started.” Rainbow Dash said. They trained for the next three hours.

Entry #7

Wow, today really took a lot of breath from me. I never suspected the training exercises to be so difficult. Sadly, I have to go through the rest of the week’s training. But, so does Scootaloo. I’m pretty sure she had a crush on me or something. I mean, i’m not *that** oblivious. I know RD knows it too. I think i’ll have a talk with her a couple of weeks from now. Don’t wanna ask her too early, or too late.*
