Spike's Gift to Applejack
Spike had returned to his Castle with a flash of green fire, he headed out back and put a illusion spell, he looked he saw he had plenty of room on his side, about a hoofball field's space, then he gestured at the two volcanoes that were spouting smoke and embers, the peaks erupted as lava spewed from the top and ran down the sides of the spewing peaks, it caught the black grass on fire and he stepped in the flowing field of lava, he made motions and movements with his arms, moved the lava across the back yard he kept it from touch his castle.
Then he made the Lava cool it solidified, then he moved his claws and palms and broke the hardened lava into pebbles and then into soil, then he made it rain on the soil, then he made the volcanoes stop spewing smoke and he let the sun shine down.
days later fresh green healthy grass had grew and Spike turned the grass out front green to match, he made a packet of apple tree seeds, Spike put them in the ground.
"don't want any shortcuts" Spike said to himself
Weeks Later of tending to the appletrees, they were fulling grown appletrees with bright red apples, he grew different Apples: Honey crisp, gala, golden delicious, granny smith and her normal red apples but now had a verity.
Spike lifted the illusion spell
Applejack was asleep when Celestia's sun came through in her face through the window, she grumbled "Bloody sun" Applejack said covering he face.
"The Hay, Sun?" Applejack sat up and yes the sky that had been dark since she was there was gone and a blue sky and no smell of ash.
Then she heard a knock "Yes Spike" Applejack answered, Spike opened the door "I have a little gift for you" he spoke for once no coldness but with warmth.
"Someone woke up on the goodside of the bed" Applejack noted.
"Funny" Spike smirked "But first close your eyes and follow my voice" he told her, she looked at him with puzzlement but closed her eyes, he started walking but felt a hoof in his claw making him stiffen from the touch.
"What are you doing?" Spike asked.
"ah can't walk blind, I'm holding on to something" Applejack replied.
"Fine but keep up" Spike told her, she led her two his back door and opened and walked them out.
Applejack was greeted with a feeling of the sun and the sent of grass with a slight breeze "Can ah open them" she asked.
"Not quite" Spike said, then brought them to the start of the trees "Okay now" Spike said releasing her hoof.
Applejack opened her eyes and she gasp, she saw what was once a black empty field field with black grass was filled with luscious grass and large appletrees.
"Well I'll be" Applejack gasped heavily "Please tell Me'h you cast an illusion spell" she said.
"Nope, execpt to hide what I was doing these past weeks" Spike replied "I know who like plan apples but i think you'll love an assortment" he said.
"Golden Delicious" he pointed to some trees "Gala" he pointed at another "Honey Crisp" he said "Granny Smith" he finished.
"of course if you get tired of these" Spike said and lifted off a illusion spell to a side of his castle "red delicious, Fuji" he said.
Spike walked to a tree and picked out a Red Delicious, then walked back and gave it to her, she took it with her hoof a bit it, it was delicious.
"I can tell from your blissful expression your pleased" Spike said, then the orange mare jumped and wrapped her foreleg's around his stomach.
"Oh thank Yew Spike, this is the most wonderful thing anypony has ever giving me'h" Applejack smiled, Spike was abit surprise from the hug.
"for once I didn't use my power to grow them, I did it naturally" Spike spoke to himself.
"You did this without your power?" Applejack said looking at him letting him go.
"D'oh" Spike uttered "Well yes, when you use power's to make things like this it's only a easy way out, and done with really no meaning to it" he said.
"So" Applejack smirked.
"Yes I do care for you, I knew looking back what I was doing before was really no feeling at all just doing it because I didn't want you complaining" Spike said "So I corrected that" he said.
"I told yew there was good inside yew and warmth" Applejack said her smile got bigger, then placed a hoof over his heart "Maybe you Ain't so cold and hard as stone in here" she told him "I'm going to do some apple bucking" she said wonder off, picking up some baskets Spike just conjured up with his magic.
"Could she be right about me?" Spike said.
