Chapter 17

Guys Night Out

As Flareon turned his head to the right, he noticed the clock had struck midnight. As he looked around, Twilight and the girls refused to make eye contact with him, while Spike was still too embarrassed to say anything. Flareon then muttered to himself, "How did I end up in this mess?" He, along with Spike, Twilight, and their friends, were in a locked cell inside the Ponyville Jail. You may be wondering how this all happened. It all started six hours ago at Golden Oak Library when there was a knock on the door. When Twilight went to open it, Rainbow Dash and the rest of their friends greeted her as they came inside. They looked at Twilight and yelled at the top of their voice, "Twilight, are you ready for...girls night out!" Soon after, they burst into laughter. Rainbow Dash then flew over to Flareon, who was lying on the floor, reading a book. "Hey Flareon...aren't you dying to know what kind of awesome, amazing, and cool activities we got planned for our girls night out? I bet you want to come with us...don't you?" As he turned over a page in his book, Flareon simply replied without looking at her, "Nope." Spike however, wanted to go with them. "Can I come...please?" Spike begged, but Rainbow Dash quickly ended his hopes. "Sorry Spike, but girls only!" As they began to leave, Twilight turned her head back and said, "We'll be back later tonight...bye!" After they left, there was an awkward silence hanging in the air as Spike and Flareon were now all alone. Spike quickly decided to end to start-up a conversation. "The nerve of those girls thinking they can have a better time without us." Flareon flipped again page in his book and simply replied, "Yep." Spike was suddenly hit with an idea. "Hey I know! We should have our own guys night out! I bet we can have twice, no...three times as much fun as them! What do you say Flareon...you in?" As he flipped over another page, Flareon replied, "Not interested." Right away, Spike began to get desperate as he started to beg Flareon to agree to a guys night out. After a couple of minutes of listening to Spike's nonstop begging, Flareon finally gave in. He then slammed the book shut and yelled, "Alright Spike...alright! Fine...we can have a guys night out. Just please...stop winning already!" As Spike's eyes lit up with excitement, he quickly jumped on Flareon's back, pointed forward and yelled, "Onward!" Flareon slowly turned his head back to Spike and said in a serious tone, "Spike...do you want to spend our guys night out with a broken arm?" Spike, realizing the danger he was in, quickly jumped off Flareon's back and replied, "Sorry." As Spike opened the front door and began to walk outside, Flareon reluctantly followed after him, not knowing what kind of mischief they were going to get themselves in.

Soon after, Spike decided to take Flareon to the most fancy, expensive restaurant in Ponyville called La' Mane. As they attempted to find a table to sit at, a fancy-looking unicorn in a suit stopped them from going inside. Flareon noticed from unicorn's nametag his name was Chez. "Excuse me," Chez said, "Do you have reservations?" When Flareon tried to explain, Spike interrupted him and said, "Reservations? We don't need any stupid reservations!" He then pointed to Flareon. "Do you know who this is? This guy is the chosen one!" Chez simply smirked at them and replied, "Ah yes, the chosen one...I've heard that one before. I'm sorry, but I do not have the time to deal with such rowdy children." As Flareon was preparing to leave, Spike pointed to his right and yelled, "Look...it's Princess Celestia!" As Chez looked away, Spike quickly grabbed Flareon's hoof and they ran past Chez before he knew what happened. As they sat at an open table, Flareon said, "Spike...you do know we can get into some serious trouble for this." As Spike picked up the menu, he smiled and replied, "Don't worry about it. Let's just enjoy our guys night out."

Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice from across the room. "What are you going to order Rainbow Dash?" When Flareon and Spike looked to their right, they saw Twilight and the others sitting at a table. Flareon couldn't believe it, they had somehow gone to the same restaurant at the same time. Flareon and Spike quickly put hid their faces behind the menus and began to whisper loudly to each other. "Are you kidding me Spike? You brought us to the same restaurant as them?!" Flareon said. "How was I supposed to know they would come here? Twilight didn't tell us where they were going?!" he replied. Flareon and Spike soon agreed not to let the girls find out they were there.

Soon after, a pony appeared and said, "Hello, my name is Zest and I will be your waiter for this evening. What would you like to order?" "I will have Lobster Special and my friend here will have a bowl of your most delicious gems," Flareon replied. As the waiter took their menus, they only waited 15 minutes before their food arrived. After Flareon and Spike finished eating, the waiter came back, and after asking how the food tasted, presented the check. "Alright Spike, give him the money so we can go," Flareon said. Spike then replied, "What are you talking about? I don't have any money with me...I thought you did!" Zest started to get impatient and said, "Do we have a problem here?" Before Flareon and Spike could react, they suddenly heard a familiar voice yell, "There they are!" When Flareon and Spike turned around, they saw Chez accompanied by a group of police officers. As Chez and the police began to run towards them, he yelled to Spike, "Let's get out of here!" As they quickly avoided Chez and the police officers, they made sure not to let Twilight and the others see them. Eventually, Flareon and Spike managed to successfully escape La' Mane without getting caught. A few minutes later, they stopped to catch their breath. "Wow, good job Spike...brilliant plan. Now we have the police looking for us!" Flareon said. Spike simply brushed it off and replied, "It's just a minor setback. Our guys night out isn't over yet!" Flareon had yet to know that their night was about to take a turn for the worst.

As they were walking through town trying to figure out what to do next, Flareon and Spike spotted three ponies having trouble getting inside a building. "Hey, are you guys need any help?" Spike asked. The pony in the middle, which must have been the leader of the group, replied, "What?! Oh...yeah, we uh...got locked outside our house. Can you help us?" For some reason, Flareon was starting to have doubts about these suspicious ponies, but then Spike said, "Don't worry, my pal here knows what do to...right Flareon?" Even though something didn't seem right, he ignored it went up to the front door of the building and used his fire magic to melt the lock.

As the three ponies opened the doors and rushed inside, the leader looked and Flareon and said, "Hey thanks bro. Don't worry, we'll give you something good for helping us!" Just as Flareon was trying to figure out what he had meant by that, he and Spike suddenly heard the sound of an alarm bell go off. When Flareon looked up, he saw that the building the three ponies entered wasn't just a house, it was actually a jewelry store. Soon after, the two ponies quickly ran back outside with bags on their backs and quickly split up in two separate directions. The leader then came out and gave Spike one of his bags. As he quickly disappeared into the night, along with his friends, Spike decided to open the bag he was holding. They were shocked to find out that there were priceless gems and jewelry inside. Suddenly, the Equestria Police arrived and quickly surrounded them. Flareon then yelled, "Spike...let's get out of here!" As Spike dropped the bag of jewelry, he jumped on Flareon's back and soon after, they managed to escape again.

A couple of hours later, after the girls had enjoyed their time at the Ponyville Amusement Park, they decided to take Twilight back home. "This was absolutely the best girls night out ever! We have to do this again next month!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "I had a lot of fun too," Fluttershy replied, "Except for that scary roller-coaster. I never want to do that again." "I wonder how Flareon and Spike are doing?" Twilight asked. "It's late, so they probably went to bed already. You think we should invite them next time?" Applejack said. Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash quickly disagreed with her. "No way! A girls night out is for girls only. Besides...those two wouldn't be able to keep up with us!" "More like just you Rainbow Dash," Twilight replied. Everyone, except for Rainbow Dash, began to laugh. As they got to Golden Oak Library, Twilight opened the door and walked inside. They could see Flareon lying on the floor reading a book and Spike sitting on the couch. For some reason, they looked very distraught. "So...did you two do anything while I was gone?" Flareon quickly replied, "Nope...nothing out of the ordinary...right Spike?" He then quickly said, "Yeah...we just hanged out and got some bonding time. Why do you ask?" Before Twilight could ask why they were acting so strange, everyone suddenly heard a voice yelling from outside. "This is the Equestria Police! We have you surrounded! Come out now or we will use force!" Eventually, everyone was arrested and taken to jail. Soon after, they were put inside a jail cell. As the officer left, the girls looked angrily at Flareon and Spike. Twilight then said, "I'm never letting you two stay home by yourselves ever again." It turns out the first girls and guys night out for Flareon, Twilight, Spike, and their friends ended with a night in jail.
