Chapter 7: Arguments
Spike was walking down the castle halls, doing his chores
He walked into Mavericks room and opened the door
...
Spike rolled his eyes, seeing that Maverick left a few dishes in his room... Again
"When Maverick gets back, I'm gonna have to talk to him about this..." Spike said in annoyance, taking the dishes out of Mavericks room and bringing them to the kitchen to wash
10 minutes later
I entered the castle after looking around Ponyville
Spike was standing there, waiting for me, his expression was anything but happy
"...Can I help you?" I asked, slightly worried as to why he's mad at me
"...I thought I told you to bring your used dishes from your room..." Spike replied in an annoyed and bossy tone
"...Excuse me?"
"I had to take dishes out of your room... AGAIN!" The volume in Spikes voice raised
"Oh, I'm sorry DAD!" I said sarcastically
"Last I checked, you aren't my father... You're my little brother..." I added, folding my arms
"I don't care! You need to take care of your own dishes!" Spike exclaimed in an angry tone
I simply rolled my eyes
"Alright, Whatever..." I said, not really caring
"Thank you..." Spike said, walking off
"Tch, like he can boss me around... I'M his older brother..." I said to myself
I walked to my room and opened my door
I went to my satchel to get my journal
I pulled it out and began writing in my journal
2 hours later
Spike and I were in the library, I was reading a book, and Spike was on a ladder rearranging books
I kicked my feet up on a table and continued reading
Spike looked at me and rolled his eyes
"Maverick the table isn't a footrest." He stated
"Yeah whatever..." I replied, not taking my eyes off of the book
Spike climbed down the ladder and walked over
Without saying anything he pushed my feet off of the table
I shot a glare at Spike
"You could of just asked me to take my feet off the table..." I said, rolling my eyes in annoyance
"You wouldn't have done it though." Spike replied, folding his arms
"Like how you never bring your used dishes from your room..." He added
"Are you seriously still stuck on that!?" I asked in annoyance
Spike didn't answer, he just went back to rearranging books
I rolled my eyes and put my book on the table
Then I left the library
The next day
I was leaning against a wall in the castle, just chilling really
...
Spike suddenly approached me, a slightly angry expression on his face
"...What?" I asked in confusion
"Thanks for helping me with my chores Maverick..." He said sarcastically
"Well... They're YOUR chores..." I replied
"Maverick... Can you just grow up and take responsibility for once?" Spike said in annoyance
I shot a glare at Spike
"...Excuse me...?"
"You may be older, but I'm more mature then you." He stated, folding his arms
"Spike, I think YOU are growing up too fast..." I replied
"Why can't you just be responsible Maverick!?" Spike asked in slight anger, his voice raising
"Because I'M trying to live life to the fullest, while YOU are just acting like you're the one in charge!" I exclaimed, my voice raising
Soon we started arguing back and forth
We were arguing for a good few minutes, until Twilight broke us up
"Okay, What's going on here!?" She asked, more annoyed by the situation then curious
"Maverick here needs to learn to grow up and take responsibility!" Spike stated, sending me an angry glare
"Well, Spike needs to learn to relax and live life to the fullest!" I stated, glaring intensely at Spike
Spike and I went back to arguing
"Okay! That's enough!" Twilight yelled and stomped her hoof on the ground, causing Spike and I to stop arguing and look at her
It was dead silent now
"You two better work this out..." Twilight said, glaring at both of us
"But-" Spike was about to say something
"Shh!" Twilight shushed Spike
"There will be no arguing... Understand?" Twilight asked, trying to stay as calm as she could
Spike and I just looked at each other again
Twilight then walked away
"You really made Twilight mad..." I whispered to Spike
"Me!? It was obviously your fault!" Spike exclaimed in a whisper
"Do I hear arguing!?" Twilight yelled at us
"No ma'am!" Spike and I said in unison
...
Spike and I glared at each other, just staying silent
"Like the old saying goes, if you don't have anything nice to say, Don't say anything at all..." I said to Spike
...
We both just stayed silent
...
I just walked off to my room and slammed the door behind me
3 hours later
Twilight, Spike and I, were in the library, Twilight was reading a book, I was just trying to relax in a quiet place, and Spike was cleaning up
Every now and then, Spike and I would glare at each other
Twilight could feel the tension between us
"So... Have you settled your argument?" Twilight asked, attempting to stop the tension between us
"I'm not talking to that immature child..." Spike said, glaring at me
"How about you shut up and continue with your cleaning?" I replied in annoyance
"Maverick!" Twilight yelled at me
"...I wish you would shut up..." Spike muttered
I slammed my fist on the table in anger
"What did you say!?" I yelled in anger
...
"Go on... Say it to my face..." I said, sending a glare at Spike
Spike remained silent
Twilight used her magic and zipped up my lips
"No more yelling..." Twilight sent a glare at me
"Mmmmfmmmfmfmf!?" I tried talking
"Oh good, I can finally have some peace and quiet..." Spike said, making sure it was loud enough for me to hear
"MMMMFMMFMMMFFMFMMFFMMFMMMFFFMFMMFMFMFMMMFFMFFMMMMF!" I tried yelling at Spike, Based on the look I had on my face, Twilight could tell I was mad
Twilight soon realized that she had just made things worse
She unzipped my lips after I finished my muffled rant
I glared at Twilight
"Don't ever. Do that. Again..." I said in anger and annoyance
I then looked at Spike
"Remember what I said? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!" I exclaimed, glaring at Spike
"Then I guess this conversation is over..." Spike replied
"I guess it is." I said, turning away and folding my arms
The next day
I was sitting down on a bench in the park, thinking over my arguments with Spike
I'm not an immature child...
...I'm...
I'm a terrible brother...
"I'm such an idiot..." I said, looking down in sadness
"...I am an immature child..." I told myself
...
"You okay Sugarcube?" A familiar voice called out
I looked up and saw Applejack, looking at me in concern
"No..." I replied
Applejack came up and sat beside me
"What's wrong?" She asked
"...Spike and I got into an argument... And I'm regretting every terrible thing I've said to him..." I explained
"Then, why don't ya go apologize?" She suggested
"I would... But... Spike is probably still mad at me... I...I don't know what do..." I said, frowning slightly
"Ah'm sure you'll figure it out Sugarcube."
"...My advice for you, is that you should do what ya think is right." Applejack said, looking at me, a serious expression on her face
"...Thanks Applejack..." I said, standing up from the bench and walking back to the castle
I was walking down the halls looking for Spike
"Spike? Where are you?" I called out
...
Is he giving me the silent treatment?
...
I found Spike just sitting in the library
I slowly approached Spike
"S-Spike?" I called out
No answer
"You're probably mad at me... I just want to say-"
I was cut off by Spike raising a claw
"Whatever you have to say, I don't care..." He stated
"Spike if you'll just listen to me." I replied
"I'm not listening to you anymore." He said, turning away from me
"Spike..."
"Why don't you just leave me alone!?" He raised his voice at me
I looked down in sadness
"Fine... I'll just head back home..."
I turned around and began walking away
"... I'm sorry for arguing with you over something so pointless... " I apologized
Spike gasped slightly
I left the library and went to pack my things up
A few minutes later
Spike sat there, tearing up slightly as he realized what he had done
"What have I done?" He asked himself
Spike shot up and began chasing after Maverick
"Maverick wait!" He yelled, leaving the library and chasing after Maverick
He barged into Mavericks room
...
But Maverick wasn't there
"...The train station!" Spike exclaimed in realization
He ran off towards the station, hoping to Celestia he wasn't too late
"Spike, where are you going?" Twilight asked Spike as he ran past her
"I need to stop Maverick from leaving!" Spike replied as he pushed open the door and ran off
Twilight began following Spike
"Spike, Wait up!" Twilight exclaimed
I stood at the train station waiting for my train to arrive
"Who knew a simple argument... Could lead to this..." I muttered to myself
...
My train arrived
I was about to board it
...
Suddenly I heard a voice call out to me
It sounded familiar
"Maverick!" The voice called out to me
!
I knew that voice
"Maverick!" He called out to me again
I turned and saw Spike running towards me
"Spike!?" I said in surprise
Spike immediately tackled me into a hug
He was in tears
"M-Maverick, I-I'm so sorry!" Spike said in between sobs, he was sniffling and hiccuping as he held onto me tight
"I-I shouldn't have gotten into that argument with you!" He continued
"J-Just please! Don't leave me!" Spike pleaded, hugging me tighter
"Spike..." I began, pulling him out of our hug
I looked into Spikes tearstained eyes
His whole face and some of his chest were covered in tears, his eyes were red as well
I wiped away his tears and gave him a caring smile
"I'm sorry too..." I apologized
I pulled Spike into a hug, rubbing his back and trying to soothe his tears, as Spike continued sobbing
"Shhh..." I hushed Spike softly
I began humming a small tune that Mom would sing to me when I was sad
Spike didn't seem to mind
"...I promise... I'll never leave you..." I said softly
"...And I promise to be more responsible..." I added
Spike was just sniffling now
...
Twilight eventually caught up, she was catching her breath
She was about to say something, but she saw that Spike and I were having a moment, so she remained silent
I pulled out of our hug and looked at Spike
"Ready to head back home?" I asked Spike
He nodded in reply
I stood up and smiled warmly at Spike
...
"Maverick?" Spike called out to me
"Hm?" I replied, looking down at Spike
"Can you... Carry me back?" Spike asked hesitantly
"M-My feet hurt from running all the way here..." He quickly added
However, I could tell that last part was a lie
Spike was in a state of fear and helplessness because I almost left him, he needed to be comforted by someone
I picked up Spike and carried him in my arms
Spike gave me a small smile and wrapped his arms around my neck
"Thank you..." Spike thanked me softly
I smiled warmly at Spike as we walked back to the castle with Twilight
Bedtime
I was getting ready for bed, putting my journal in my satchel and setting it beside my bed
...
Suddenly Spike entered my room
"Spike? Shouldn't you be asleep?" I asked in slight concern
"I-I had a nightmare..." Spike replied
...
Spike had a sad look on his face
"Alright, come here..." I ushered Spike over
He walked over and I picked him up and placed him on my lap
"What was it about?" I asked
"Y-You left, and never came back..." Was all Spike said
Spike began to cry softly into my chest
He looks so afraid...
"I'll never leave you..." I reminded Spike, rubbing his back
...
"Maverick?" Spike called out
"Yeah?" I replied
"I know this might be too much to ask... But... Can I sleep with you tonight?" Spike asked hesitantly
"Just for this one night, I swear!" He exclaimed, insisting it'll be for only this night
"...Yes, You can sleep here with me tonight." I agreed
"Whenever you need some comfort, You can always come to me Spike..." I said softly
Spike smiled and crawled into bed with me
I laid down beside him and looked at Spike
"Do you need anything before you go to bed?" I asked Spike
He thought about it for a minute
Spike shook his head
"Okay, if you need anything, just wake me up." I told Spike
He nodded
I gave Spike a kiss on the forehead and pulled the blanket over us
"Goodnight Spike." I said, closing my eyes and falling asleep
...
I felt Spike hug my arm as he snuggled into me
I patted his head as I went to sleep fully
Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
I know, Maverick was acting a bit rude, but that's because he's a teenager, even if he's more responsible than most teenage dragons, he's still a teenager, he'll act rebellious or rude at times.
Be sure to favorite and review!
I'll see ya next time!
This is Robert, Signing off!~
