Chapter 19

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

eTu`nes softly snored as the day reached noon. That was quite a night last night. They splurged into so much candy, they all felt sick. Well, Derpy and Dash felt sick but eTu`nes felt fine, A little bit of a headache but he’s fine.
Derpy walked into the room, carrying a box. She set it on the cabinet as eTu`nes woke up. “Derpy. What are you doing?” he sleepily asked.
“oh, sorry eTu`nes. Didn’t mean to wake you up.”
“I was already up.” he replied. He took notice of the box. “what is that?”
“oh, Shine asked me to bring it in here. Not sure what it is myself.” out of curiosity, she opened it and looked in. “oh. Jewelry.” eTu`nes rolled his eyes. Figures girls would care for this. “ruby necklaces. sapphire bracelets. emerald brooches…”
“Pokemon reference.” eTu`nes muttered in the same tune as Derpy. Derpy dug deeper in and found something that wasn’t jewelry. She pulled it out and looked it over. “What is it?” the dragon asked.
“a picture… of my mom.” Derpy said. eTu`nes crawled on over and peered over her shoulder. The ol-timey looking picture was a group shot of 4 ponies, 2 of which are Derpy’s mother and Shine.

Dash snored as she slept on a tree branch when the sound of laughter woke her up. She opened one eye and looked down to see a Pegasus, a Gryphon, and a Bat-Pony, all her age, playing soccer. She grumbled as she stuck her head into her pillow.
5 seconds later, she fell out of the tree, the soccer ball right behind her.
“ow.” Dash groaned. The ball rolled up beside her. In anger, she got up and kicked it with all her might, right into the goal, which was 30 yards away.
“whoa!” the Gryphon whistled. He turned his attention to the cyan Pegasus. “hey, kid.” he called out, getting her attention. He bounced the ball in his claws. “you want to play?”
“me?” curious, Dash flew on down. “you want me to play? With you guys?”
“yeah. We need a 4th anyway.” the Pegasus said.
Without thinking it thought, Dash nodded. “Sure. I’m game.” the 3 all went ‘yes.’ “my name’s Rainbow. Rainbow Dash.”
“I’m Zatch.” the Gryphon replied. “this is Lightning…”
“hey there.” the Spunky Pegasus replied.
“and this is Gothic.”
“hey.” the brooding Bat-Pony replied.
“and right now…” Zatch tossed the ball over to Dash. “you got the ball.”
Dash smirked. She kicked the ball up into the air and jumped up after it. She flipped over and kicked it right towards the goal.

“your mom?” eTu`nes asked. “Shine knows your mom?”
“it looks like it, but how…”
The dragon leaned forward, checking the other side. He saw writing. “check the other side.” he said. Derpy flipped it, saw the words, and read it.
“‘ Comet Skies, Shine Dash, Golden Day, and May Gray. BPFF’s forever’”
“my parents names are May Grey and Comet Skies.” Derpy muttered.
“then that means the unknown is Golden Day.” eTu`nes muttered. “I’m gonna assume that he’s Dash’s father.”
“why didn’t my parents tell me they knew Shine or this Golden Day guy.”
eTu`nes shrugged. “my guess is that they had a falling out of some kind. Even Best Friends can have bad arguments. But what is a good question.” Derpy sighed. She put the photo away back in the box and closed it. “Derps?”
“I don’t want to know. If I ask Shine, she might piece it together and kick us out. And I DO NOT want to go back to those bullies.”
“right. Those bullies tortured you so bad, you wanted to kill yourself. I remember. But, maybe she’ll--”
“no, eTu`nes.” Derpy exclaimed, surprising him quite a bit by how forceful she was.
She looked away and sadly looked to the floor. “okay.” eTu`nes softly said. “I understand. I don’t like it but I understand.”
The 2 silently sat there as a certain grown Pegasi heard everything from the other side of the door.

19 Years Later….

Spike slowly opened his eyes as he groaned. It was one hell of a Nightmare Night last night. “That’s the last time I eat 20 pieces of candy before bedtime.” he groaned as he rolled out of his bed.
Something hurt on his back, shocking him awake. “what the?” he looked back and saw small wings sprouting out of his back. “What the hay?” he silently exclaimed. He concentrated and pulled the wings back in. “why does this keep happening? Was it something I ate?” he got up and walked over to the stairs.
Twilight stirred in her bed as she woke up. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. “Spike. Where are you going?” she asked as she got out.
“Bathroom. Had to much candy.” he groaned, holding his belly. He looked up at Twi and noticed something. “looks like you had a lot to eat too.”
Twi raised a eyebrow in confusion before looking down at her stomach. It was slight but there was a bump. “I didn’t eat any candy last night, Spike, except for a candy apple but that wouldn’t give me a…”
it didn’t take long for those 2 to piece it together. “Oh, Twi. Twi, that’s gotta be your foal. Oh, what did Sora call it? Eh… that’s your baby bump.”
There it was. Definitive proof that there was life growing inside her. That couldn’t help but bring a tearful smile to her face.
Spike noticed her eyes watering and got worried. “Twi? You okay?”
“Yeah.” Twi sniffled as she looked up. “Just can’t believe it. Until now, I was kinda hoping that it was just a mix-up with someone. But now…” she looked back and smiled again. “guess I am going to be a mother after all.”
Spike couldn’t help but smile as well. His right arm shook and grew larger, which frightened Twilight. He quickly shook it and it went back to normal size. “Not again.” he groaned.
“Spike. What’s going on?” Twi nervously asked.
“I don’t know. It’s been happening since we reached Nightmare Moon’s fortress. Parts of my body started getting… bigger. Not sure why but it’s really annoying. And I know it‘s not greed taking over again; I still remember my last birthday and I ain‘t gonna repeat history.”
Twi thought for a moment. “Sounds like Puberty to me.”
“Puberty!?” Spike exclaimed.
“yep. Puberty.”
“but It can’t be. I’m only…” Spike counted with his fingers.
Twi rolled her eyes. “you’re 13, which is when Puberty kicks in for Ponies and I’m guessing Humans as well.”
“but I’m a Dragon, not a pony. No. no no no. I can’t be growing up. I don’t wanna grow up!” Spike exclaimed. “I’m still a baby in Dragon years.”
Twi gave a sighing chuckle. “(I wonder how long it’s going to take him to figure out he can legitimately be with Rarity this way?)” she thought to herself.
A sudden explosion from the apple farm interrupted their talk about genetics. “oh, that can’t be good.” they both muttered.

Ice-Hot Lobster - Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance OST.

Aura fell down from the air and landed right near A.J. as something off-screen snapped.
“this is unexpected.” he said.
A massive claw came and tried to slice them both in half. They both dodged in time. The massive overgrown lobster, who looks a lot like Ebirah from Godzilla, gave it’s version of a roar.
Aura landed near the entrance where Trixie and Pinkie were watching. “you didn’t have anything to do with this, did you Trixie? This sounds like your kinda handiwork.”
“it wasn’t her. We were at Sugarcube Corner when this happened.” Pinkie explained.
Aura lowered his left eyebrow and pointed between them and the lobster. “So… if this wasn’t you… who was it?”

Take a wild guess who it is.
“oh, this is so much better then quelling a insurrection.” Orochi’s Ignis personality ecstatically said, holding a card with the crustacean’s picture on it.

Aura whimpered as he used his lance to keep the lobster’s claws from crushing him. Unfortunately, he was right in the middle of it.
“Did I ever tell you how much I hate Lobster!?” he exclaimed. “I hate the taste, hate smell, and I hate all those little bones.”
The ponies and lobster looked at the camera with confused expressions. I don’t think crustaceans have bones. And if anyone get’s that reference, huzzah.
Twi, Spike, and Req ran up to see Aura in his little predicament. “well, this is a guaranteed wake-up call.” Req joked.
“NOT FUNNY!” Aura yelled as the Ebirah look-alike swung his claw, trying to get him out.
“I thought it was.” Req shrugged.
The lobster brought up his other claw towards Aura. His reaction was quickly wrap around his lance, hope it won’t get to him. Yea-no. that didn’t work. “Someone mind helping me out here before I TURN INTO A SHISH-KA-BAB!?!”
“Not really a morning person, is he?” Spike asked.
“nope.”
A yellow chakram flew though the air and sliced off both lobster claws. Aura yelled as he fell with them and hit the ground. “ow.”
The chakram returned back to Jax, who had a serious case of bed-head. “Anyone up for Crab Cakes?” Jax grabbed her other chakram and lit it on fire.
She threw her other chakram and hit it right on the back shell. It hit and lit the over-sized Sebastian on fire.

“uh-oh. SHE’s here.” Terra said.
“there goes our fun for the day.” Fulmen sighed as their human body closed the deck of cards up. “What now? Just kill them now?”
“no. not yet.” Glacies said. “Lady Kyra wants the ‘cowboy’ alive and Tsylatac wants to have a ‘chat’ with Serenity before we kill her.”
“in short, do nothing.”
“just be patient. We’ll have our chance soon enough.”
The rest of the personalities just scoffed as the body disappeared in black fire.

The lobster gave a guttural roar as he swung his stumps where the claws were at Req. She ducked underneath and ran under the thing. She wrapped Bind around it’s front legs and pulled them as she ran out the other side. The lobster shrieked for a second as it flipped over onto it‘s back.
Aura yelled as he jumped down from above and stabbed his lance into his chest. He flipped onto the top of the lance and jumped off it into the air. “All your’s, Jax.” he said as he jumped past her.
“Be glad Fluttershy’s not around to see this.” Jax said as her chakrams glowed purple. “THUNDER BOLT!” she swing her chakrams at the monster, sending out bolts of electricity it’s way.
The bolts hit the lance, followed it down into it’s body, and electrocuted the beast from the inside out. After a few seconds of pained yelling, it gave up and died.

End Song.

“wow. That must’ve been some fight. Sorry we missed it.” Sora said as she bit into her seafood.
“Yeah. But I’m still trying figuring out how it got here.” Aura said as he looked what remained of the lobster. “Trixie’s got a solid alibi so it wasn’t her trying out a growth spell and we’re nowhere near the ocean.”
“so… you don’t know where it came from.” Dash asked, hovering right beside him.
“unless it was brought here by someone, no. it’s gonna be bugging me for quite a while.”
Spike just shrugged and bit into his lobster claw. Pain suddenly hit his right leg as it grew larger. He quickly shook it and made it smaller before anyone took notice.

Orochi reappeared on top of the mountain where he was before and scoffed. “just like with the raven, they’re eating the corpse of the lobster. Savages.” Aqua said.
“they’re humans.” Tenebrae said. “They were born savage and they’ll die savage. You’re really surprised by this?”
“not really. Just felt like saying it.”
Glacies moaned. “unbelievable. My other’s are a bunch of idiots.” he muttered as their human body disappeared in black fire.

Later in the day, everyone went their separate ways. Spike went with Rarity to help her out with… whatever.
Spike groaned as he went cross-eyed and held his stomach. “Spike. Are you feeling okay?” Rarity kindly asked.
“no.” he gagged as he held his mouth. “I think all that candy last night is getting to me. You happen to have any antacids?”
“I think so.” Rarity left and headed downstairs. “let me see if I can find some.”

“let’s see…”
Rarity reached her bathroom and started looking though the cabinets. “antacids… Antacids…” she heard hoof steps behind her and immediately recognized them as her sisters. “Sweetie Belle. Do you know where the antacids are?”
Belle thought for a moment. “no. not really. I never know where anything is in this house, anyway. You keep changing it up.”
“well, I--”
Screaming came from above. Painful screaming.
“Spike!” they both exclaimed.

Twi hummed as she dusted off a shelf when someone screamed behind her. She turned and saw Rarity and Sweetie Belle carrying Spike in, who was screaming in pain.
“What’s going on?” Twi asked.
“We don’t know.” Rare said. “Spike said he wasn’t feeling well and when I went to get some antacids, me and Sweetie Belle heard him screaming. When we came to see to him, it looked like he was having a seizure.”
“oh, no.” Twi gasped. “quick. Take him upstairs.” the sisters nodded and quickly ran on up when several of her friends walked in.
“what’s going on, Twi? Why’s Spike screaming Bloody Murder?” Zilver asked.
“I don’t know, Zil. But I do have a good idea of what’s causing it.”
“I hope so. We heard him all the way at the river.” Bahamut said, picking his ears. Jax just stood there in silence, still eating her lobster claw.
“Twilight! You better get up here!” Sweetie Belle called from above.

Spike held himself and shook as his body began changing. (this suddenly got dark, didn’t it?)
The others came up and saw this and kept their distance.
“what the hay is happening to him?” Zilver asked.
“I think he’s going though a Metamorphosis.” Twi explained.
“a what?” Bahamut asked.
“he’s changing form. And it looks pretty bad.”
“looks it too.” Jax said.
His body pulsed from his OG form to his new look more times then one can count.
“Do all dragons go though this?” Sweetie Belle asked Bahamut.
“well, I didn’t.” he replied. “my guess is Dragons on this world do but on the other ones we visited, no.”
Rarity couldn’t help but feel sorry for little Spikey-Wikey. The little drake she knew was going to change. “Spike…” she slowly walked over to him.
“Rarity, be careful. He’s totally unpredictable right now.” Twi warned.
“Pbbt. I think I’ll be all right, Twilight.” Rare said, not taking in the risks. Spike’s left foot suddenly grew large and slashed down on her face, cutting her left eye. She reacted and held her eye.
“Rarity!”
“Sis!”
Rarity groaned as she held her eye. “I’m fine. But Spike…”
The rest of Spike’s limbs suddenly grew larger, same with his body. Wings sprouted out of his back in a painful matter. His snout grew longer as fangs came down. His frills grew longer and more spiky. His eye’s snapped open and went reptilian for a moment before changing back. His tail grew longer and thrashed about for a moment.
After a few painful moments, the new teenage Spike stopped shaking and just laid there.
“That looked like it hurt.” Sweetie Belle said out loud.
Jax smacked her upside the head. “of course it did. Never heard of changing forms being a pleasant experience.”
Spike stirred and started getting up. “oh. Oh, my head. And my stomach. I don’t think lobster agrees with me.” he groaned in a mature voice. He held his head and looked up at the immediate gang, who were looking at him with shocked expressions. “Guys. What’s going on?” he instantly took notice of Rarity’s eye, which was starting to bleed. “Rarity! Are you okay?”
“yeah. I’m fine. Just a scratch. I can still see out of this eye. I’m fine.”
“what happened?”
Zil and Jax looked at each other. “you don’t remember what happened these last few minutes.?”
“no. I remember having a bad stomach ache at Rarity’s then… nothing. Complete blank. Why? Did something happen?”
“un… I’d say so.” Twi said. She used her magic to pull a life-sized mirror in front of Spike. He looked at it and saw his reflection. He yelped when he saw that he had grown up.
“is that… me? I have wings… and-and fangs?”
“yep. You grew up. And not though magic or greed. That’s all you, buddy.” Zil said.
“I’m… a teenager?” Spike muttered, still not believing it.
“yep. You’re not a cute baby anymore.” Twi smiled.
Spike pouted his lips to the side. “And I liked being cute.”
“I don’t know.” Rarity said, stilling holding her eye. “I think you look handsome.” that made Spike blush.
“we should really get Requiem to look at that.” Jax said. “I’ll go get her.” she departed to go get her.
“I really did that?” Spike asked.
“but it wasn’t by choice. You were going though a very painful metamorphosis.” Twi explained. “although I don’t know why you don’t remember it.”
Spike sadly looked to the ground for a moment. “I didn’t mean to do it, Rarity. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay” Rarity sighed, starting to get a little impatient that he’s still on that. “besides, I hear some stallions like girls with scars. And vice-versa.”
Sweetie Belle face-hoofed. “figures she’d find some way…”
