Celestia was looking down at the elements in her life she had seen quite literally all of it. The Griffin wars, Discord's rule, seeing her own sister turn into Nightmare moon. This was the bottom of the barrel. She was looking at a major disappointment, she had had considered Spike to be a son to her. She had trusted Twilight to take care of Spike but in the end she had failed.

"I am very disappointed in all of you."

The girls looked directly down at the ground, the solar princess continued.

"Twilight do you remember what I had said when I first asked you if you were responsible enough to take care of Spike?"

Twilight looked up to Celestia with reddened eyes saying.

"N-no."

"I asked you to do this. Don't overfeed him, make sure he gets plenty of nutrients, exercise, and schooling, and you said what?"

"That I would teach him."

"Did you?"

"No."

"What did you do?"

"I left him all alone, I volunteered him for things he didn't want to do, let him take care of me instead of me taking care of him. I never enrolled him into school, I used him for experiments. I never cared about his safety."

"Spike has requested to move back to Canterlot, and right now I can see why. With him being handicapped it would be easier for him to move around, but as for you six I have idea of how you can try to earn his trust back."

The girls perked up at this, Pinkie's hair regained some of it's puffiness she blurted out. "What is it? I'm willing to do anything to get my friend back."

Celestia raised an eyebrow. "Anything?"

The girls nodded in sync. Celestia acknowledged this and looked beyond the ponies to find the dragon in question rolling up to the scene, she then spoke up. "I think that the punishment will be left up to the victim to decide."

The mane six turned to see Spike in a wheelchair with guards on his left and right walking beside him. Spike decided to speak up. "Here's what I'm going to do. I've been around all of you long enough to know what you hate to do, you girls are going to work for me until I decide whether or not you are sorry. Rainbow and AJ you girls are going to be my maids. Which means you'll have to clean up after me, move me around, and clean me. Fluttershy I'm going to go easy on you since you actually gave me the time of day so I'm not going to punish you, but you do have to accompany me to Canterlot. I'd love to show you around the gardens. Pinkie I honestly think that you didn't know what you were doing wrong so I'm not going to be that hard on you, here is your punishment you must accompany me to Canterlot, but you are not allowed to throw a party for a week." The pink party pony actually fainted at that, while Spike continued. "I thought Rarity was melodramatic, speaking of Rarity I have the perfect job for you. Cleaning all the bathrooms in the palace, including the guard's barracks toilets."

That was the second pony to faint. The rumors surrounding the guard barracks toilets were no joke, especially on tofu taco tuesdays. Spike finally set his eyes on Twilight. He then approached his mom and whispered in her ear. The solar princess nodded, agreed, and spoke. "Twilight Sparkle, due to the endangerment and abuse of your friend Spike Solaris, I hereby temporarily revoke your alicornhood and your title of princess of friendship. I order you to move back to Canterlot effective immediately. For you to study culinary arts, independent living, and assign you to be head maid to Prince Spike Solaris until he deems you worthy of your princess and your alicornhood. It seems that you have a lot to learn."

The girls were shocked that weren't passed out were shocked hear that. Twilight simply nodded and said. "For all that's happened I definitely deserve it."

The guards and the girls helped with moving the dragon's possessions to the chariot out front, the two guards had Pinkie and Rarity already in the chariot and not a lot of stuff for the dragon. It was time for the girls to pay the piper, and that was in the form of one angry dragon. Next Chapter: Service Estimated time remaining: 10 Minutes
