My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Owl's Well That Ends Well
A/N: Hey, guys, I am posting today and I want to nip in the bud this whole "Handy Manny" business. I'm sure that "Handy Manny" is a great show, but I have never seen it, and I have too much on my plate right now to even try watching a new show that I would have to do research on. Anyhow, I will see you all again on Monday since I won't be posting tomorrow as it will be Sunday, and there are cultural reasons that I won't get into as, I've pointed out, I live in Utah.
Sunrise Blossom: You feeling ok, Dede42?
Dede42: Still tired from work yesterday and doing work on various fanfictions.
Sunrise Blossom: You should have a nap then.
Dede42: Have to do my second job today with my client first, and then I'll have a nap.
Sunrise Blossom: Good plan.
Dede42: Thanks.
Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER FOUR: SPIKE IN THE DOGHOUSE
Sometime later, Spike was still asleep on the stairs when something heavy slammed onto the step, startling him awake. Quickly sitting up, he blinked several times before the item finally focused into a familiar book opened to reveal the remains of the burnt pages, and his heart sank when he saw that Twilight Sparkle was glaring at him while Owlowiscious was nearby on his perch. "Um…"
"Spike. What is this?" she demanded angrily. "You said this book was missing. Well, Owlowiscious found it right where it belongs, but like this. How did it get this way?"
"Uh… Well, um…" Spike stammered, holding his tail while his face turned a darker shade of purple as he blushed. "You see, I… I just didn't wanna disappoint you and, uh… Have you ever seen a dragon sneeze?"
"I've seen a dragon lie," the purple unicorn stated, disappointed. "I'm very disappointed in you, Spike." And she walked away.
Letting go of his tail, the baby dragon jumped to his feet and glared at Owlowiscious. "You set me up!" he snapped. "Well, two can play that game."
"Hoo!" said the owl.
"Not "who"!" Spike snapped, holding up two claws. "Two! Urgh!" And he left the library.
Spike walked through the town, furious that this was happening ot him. "Owlowiscious is out to take my place, I just know it!" he grumbled. "I've gotta stop him. But how?" he wondered when a mouse ran past, squeaking, and he recalled from the book he'd been reading that owls ate mice. "Ah…" He got himself a villain outfit with a fake mustache, and he cackled. "Muahahaha!"
Hurrying through the town, Spike stopped behind a tree and peered at Carousel Boutique. It wasn't long before Rarity and Opalescence left the shop.
"Come along, Opal," said the grey unicorn, shutting the door behind her. "Let's hurry up and get to Fluttershy's tea party." And they headed down the path.
Spike waited until he was sure that they were gone and then he hurried to the shop.
Once inside, the baby dragon looked around until he found the toy mouse and picked it up. "So lifelike," he sneered. "And when Twilight discovers it shredded up on her floor, she'll think mouse-eating Owlowiscious is to blame. And I'll be number one… again! Muhahaha!" He laughed evilly and exited the shop, unaware that he'd been seen by Sunrise Blossom.
'What is Spike up to and why is he wearing that outfit?' she wondered and went to find Twilight Sparkle to let her know.
Returning to the library, Spike mangled the mouse and dropped it on the floor not far from the front door. He then went into the kitchen and searched through the fridge, finding a bottle of ketchup. Returning to the mangled mouse, he cackled evilly as he dumped ketchup on top of it, and tossed the bottle aside.
The baby dragon went upstairs, grabbed a pillow and, completely unaware that he'd stepped in the ketchup, ripped it open. He then scattered feathers down the stairs and back to the mess he'd made. He was so focused that he wasn't aware that there was anypony behind him until he collided with something.
Looking behind him, Spike saw the twins and Owlowiscious. Tossing aside the pillow, he quickly took off the outfit, and tried to convince them that the owl had killed a field mouse. "That poor little field mouse!" he said dramatically. "Torn to pieces! It must have been Owlowiscious! You know, since owls eat, you know, mice. What a terrible, terrible bird! He must be punished! Right?"
Twilight Sparkle didn't believe him for a second. "Spike! I don't know what upsets me more," she scolded. "That you deliberately tried to set up Owlowiscious or that you actually thought this pathetic attempt would work! You've let your jealousy get the best of you, Spike. I am truly disappointed. This is not the Spike I know and love." And she left with Owlowiscious on her back.
"I'm disappointed in you, too, Spike," Sunrise Blossom informed him, shaking her head sadly. "You aren't being replaced by anypony, but you clearly need a time out to think about what you've done by lying about the book, and trying to frame an innocent owl." She also left, shutting the door with her magic.
Spike was devastated. "She… She doesn't love me anymore," he said sadly, "and Sunrise is disappointed, which means she doesn't love me anymore either." His heart breaking, the baby dragon went upstairs to pack his belongings in a bag that he tied to a stick, wrote a farewell note to the twins, and he left the library to find a new home.
'Owlowiscious has won and he will be the number one assistant for now on,' Spike thought sadly, heading for the Everfree Forest. 'Goodbye Twilight, goodbye Sunrise, goodbye everypony forever.' And he disappeared into the forest.
A/N: I hate to say it, but Spike kinda brought that on himself.
Sunrise Blossom: Spike did let his jealousy get the best of him that time. See you on Monday, Roleplayer48! R&R everyone!
