It had been one month since Spike and Pinkie had moved into Sugar Cube Corner, and it was fun. though they both made a Pinkie promise not to eat any of the food, unless they paid for it, or it was closing time and the Cakes were giving them the leftovers that hadn`t been sold. Spike was floating over the town when he saw Applebloom.

"Hey Applebloom" Spike yelled to her while he descended from the sky, Applebloom looked up and saw Spike.

"Hey Spike, what`s up?"

"Me" Spike responded, "where you going, and by any chance does that place need a party of some sort to happen?" Applebloom smiled

"I`m just walking around, looking to spend some bits on useless junk."

"Well look no further," Spike said, "I have ton`s of useless junk all at the low, low cost of a balloon and Bubbles!"

"oh really? one sec," Applebloom ran ahead for a second and after a minute came back with a huge bag of unused ballon`s and an XL container of Bubble soap "so if I give you these, you`ll give me?" Spike responded by dumping a bathtub with wheel`s filled the most random things, from a Lava lamp, to a disco ball, to a Ruber chicken in a suite, A Sombrero, some Bagpipes, a Joke Book, and a seven-layer cake, and lots of other things. Applebloom`s jaw dropped, was he for real.

"Now the payment!" Spike said happily as he floated to Applebloom happily.

"How am I supposed to get this stuff home?"

"That`s why the Tub is on wheel`s," Spike said as he flew off with his Bubbles and Balloons. after a second Applebloom started pushing the Tub, after about 10 minutes she ran into her big brother Big Mac who just looked at her confused and surprised.

"If you help me you can have half the stuff In the tub," Applebloom offered.
Meanwhile

Spike had never tried flying around with more than ten balloons before, but now he was holding about 500, or so the package said

The best balloon to buy, fun for all ages, Fill it with air, fill it with water, fill it with Helium, just have fun!!

Spike, opened the Bag, grabbed one balloon, pulled a Helium tank and a spool of string out of who know were, and started adding more balloons to his back one by one. not noticing just how high he was getting until he added the last Balloon.

"There we go!" Spike yelled "510 Balloons! Who`s the best." after several seconds of silence Spike looked around and noticed just how high up he was."It`s that Cloudsdale!?" he yelled in shock, noticing the Cloud city about half a mile below him and getting further away by the second. He tried to use his tale to move put realized just how hard it was to steer 510 balloons. "Emergency Bubble away!!" Spike yelled as he pulled out the XL container of Bubble soap, and drank it all, Spike then took a deep breath and started spitting out a huge amount of bubbles, he hoped somepony had noticed that. And indeed some pony did,

"What the heck?" Rainbow Dash said as she saw the Giant flow of bubbles spewing out of what she thought was a bunch of balloons. what surprised her more was when the Bubbles all came together and formed an S.O.S. She flew to the balloon`s and found what was probably the last thing she had expected. A dragon stuck to a bunch of balloons.

"Hey there," Spike said happily. "I don`t suppose you could help me?" Rainbow frowned, she didn`t know what was going on but she was pretty sure it was a trap of some kind.

"Sorry guy," Rainbow said, "But whatever you did to make a bunch of Ponies tie you up and send you flying away, must have been pretty bad."

"I did this to myself," Spike said.

"Yeah." Rainbow said "sure you did" and she flew down to pony village to ask what the whole, Balloon dragon thing was about while Spike just looked at her fly away.

"Oh well" Spike said "I`ll just slowly pop one balloon at a time to get do...." he heard a squeak and looked up to see a bunch of birds landing on his balloon`s "Oh no" Spike said a second before one of the balloon`s popped under the bird, the other birds balloon`s popped to and they started attacking them."WAIT, COME BACK!!!!" Spike yelled as loud as he could.
Meanwhile

At first, Pinkie had thought she and Spike were playing a secret hide and seek game, but after about 30 minutes she knew something was wrong. Spike had missed dinner, and she knew that wasn`t something Spike did. The entire town knew he was gone within 30 seconds of her Popping out of every barrel, opening every door and Just plain Yelling as loud as she could

"SPIKE! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!" she yelled as she ran around, only stopping when Rainbow Dash landed next to her.

"whoa, whoa," Rainbow said, "Call down, I can hear you from Cloudsdale, what are you yelling about?"

"I`m looking for a purple dragon named Spike have you seen him?" Rainbow sat there with a blank look on her face.

"One second," Rainbow said before she shot off like a rocket straight up. she found the dragon with less than a quarter of his balloon`s left."A pink pony said she was looking for you."

"Oh, PInkie`s looking for me," there was a snap and Spike fell 10 feet. "HELP!!" Rainbow Grabbed Spike

"now what?"

"well now that you're holding me." Spike grabbed the strings from around his waist and released all the balloon`s." can you take me to the ground?" after a few seconds, Spike was back on the ground.

"SPIKE!" Pinkie said giving him a hug

"I went a little too high," he said, Pinkie looked at him then shook him like a snowglobe

"Why didn't you bring me!?" She demanded

Weird Package inbound. questions I asked myself while I wrote this, Where did Spike even get that Bathtub? How much do 500 balloon`s cost?
can Pinkie do that teleport thing? yeah.
Can Spike? nope.
