The Surprise
Spike was thinking knowing Applejack's birthday was coming, he knew she would want her family here and her friends, even though he didn't like it but it was about her.
"in a few days I need to give what Applejack wants, her friends" Spike said "And it would be nice to see Discord again" he said.
But first Spike needed to be natural about it, Spike made a letter and teleported it to the Apple Family house.
Applebloom and Big Mac had been working out on the orchard and a letter appeared infront of them.
"Where did that letter come from?" Granny said just appearing.
Applebloom opened she smirked "Applebloom tell your granny and the others to come to Applejack's birthday is in a day or two and it would mean alot to her if her friends were there"
Get Discord to come to"
S.
"Well he remembered her birthday" Granny Smith smirked.
"Yeahp" Big Mac replied.
"Better write it so it's less conspicuous as Spike would say" Applebloom advised
Applebloom wrote another saying
"we need to talk girls and granny face to face, tell Discord to get his rump here to"
A.J
"That should do it" Applebloom said "we can attach it to back of this one and Spike will beam us to his land" she spoke.
"So it's all settled" Granny agreed.
two days later Spike knocked on Applejack's door.
"Come in" Applejack answered Spike opened the door and walked in.
"I've been thinking" Spike said.
"Ah getting right to it" Applejack smirked as the two sat on her bad.
"I think it's time to forgive" Spike spoke.
"for what, I told you a bunch I forgive yew" Applejack reminded.
"No not you, I want to apologize to your friends" Spike said.
"what brought this on?" Applejack asked.
"Well I've been holding my hate for them long enough and I want to say I forgive them" Spike told her "I can't truly be free unless I let go of my hatred" he said.
"as you noticed even when a warmed up, I still held alot of bitterness and anger for them and I want to let it go" Spike said.
"That would make me happy if you did forgive them" Applejack smiled "You finally saw how it was eating you up?" she said.
"Yes I did" Spike said "and I know my hate and anger will just keep me bonded to my apocalyptic side" he said.
I also know those who keep holding that hate will destroy them" Spike said "Like it almost did me after all, we've been told time and again" he said.
Applejack knew this to "Fear is the path to the darkside" she said.
"Fear leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to suffering" Spike finished "and then it destroys you from the inside" he said.
"And pulled you back and kept you from destroying yerself" Applejack said.
"Yup you were the hero of this adventure" Spike smiled.
"The adventure Ain't over yer" Applejack smirked.
"Nope it Ain't indeed" Spike agreed.
Applejack's birthday had arrived and the rest of the mane 6 and Starlight Glimmer, Cadance, Shining Armor CMC's, Granny Smith, Big mac and Discord arrived in the farm.
"So we are finally seeing Applejack" Pinkie Pie said bouncing.
"It would appear so" twilight smiled "I wonder where she wants us to meet?" she said, the Applebloom held the letter and it glowed.
then with swirls of green fire they vanished.
The group landed with a thud on some green grass "Was that paper cursed or something, where are we" Rainbow demanded.
"Girls?" a female southern voice spoke, they turned and gasped saw Applejack who had a smile they charged and tackled Applejack in a enormous group hug.
"Applejack!" they called except the three other Apples they already knew.
"what in Tarnation are Ya'll doing here?" Applejack asked.
"You said you wanted to talk and you told Discord to get his rump over here" Twilight said.
"I never said that" Applejack furrowed her brows in puzzlement "Spike" she smirked looking at the castle.
"Somepony say my name?" Spike smirked suddenly appearing behind Applejack, everypony except the Apple's were pale with fear.
"We need to leave here now" Starlight said with fright.
"That would be rude especially since it's a special day" Spike replied.
"Spike am I missing something Sugarcube?" Applejack asked.
"sugarcube?" Rainbow Dash frowned.
"Uh Happy Birthday" Spike smiled making her gasp with surprise.
"You sent that letter" Twilight gasped.
"He did" Applebloom said revealing the hidden letter, the real letter.
"You knew about this?" Starlight asked the other Apple's.
"Yeahp" the answered.
"Hello Discord pulling any tricks on ponies?" Spike asked.
"Of course got to create some pranks now and then" Discord said.
"Amen to that" Spike smirked "I pulled a couple of tricks I made those flame throwers move and you should've seen her face when she thought they were alive" he chuckled.
"Oh Hoe" Discord tricked "I see you stepped back from Devastater and became a prankster" he said.
"Yeah I decided it wasn't as fun ruling Equestria but pulling a few tricks now and then to spice things up" Spike said.
"Thats why I mess with ponies once in awhile" Discord said.
"Now Discord don't yew be corrupting my best friend here" Applejack frowned cutting in.
"Uh Discord why are you so talkative" Shining said "with the lord of the Apocalypse?" he said.
"Actually he doesn't seem too Apocalyptic" Discord replied "He is actually seems, good and friendly" he said.
"Told yew so" Applebloom told her two friends.
"With that aside, there is another reason I brought you here addition to Applejack's birthday" Spike said they turned and looked at Applejack smirk with encouragement.
"I brought you here to say" Spike said they tensed for fight "That I forgive you" he said.
"Forgive for what?" Twilight demanded.
"I forgive you 6 that you gave up on me and for treating me like a tool, using me and pushing me aside" Spike said "I forgive Celestia for not being there when I needed a mother" he said he looked at Cadance and Shining "and I forgive you for not listening to me about Thorax" he said.
"You forgive us for everything? Twilight asked, Spike frowned.
"Not everything I'm still not forgiving you or Celestia for what you did to my brother or my parents" Spike glared.
"brother?" they asked with puzzlement.
"Thorax" Spike told them.
"I thought he was your friend?" Twilight spat "You didn't say brother" she said.
"When we were in The Badlands we became closer than friends, we became brothers" Spike said "Thats why my hatred for you was so great, because you took another family member from me" he told her.
"But" Twilight stated.
"No buts" Spike cut her off in a stern manner "This not about me it's about her" he said, Applejack walked over to Spike.
"You like the surprise?" Spike said "i could make them look funny" he said, he then blasted everypony except Discord with an illusion spell and Spike and her couldn't help but laugh the group looked like living versions of a trick mirror
"Heh heh" Applejack regained her control "come on Spike thats mean" she chuckled.
"Well lets party" Spike smirked as he made the illusion spell lift off of them.
"Wonder what was so funny?" Starlight asked.
"This" discord smirked in a photographer get up and gave them a picker everypony but Pinkie who laughed screamed.
"ahhgh! I'm so fat" Rarity cried.
my wings are small" Rainbow said.
"Mine are big" Scootaloo smirked.
"I have wrinkles" Twilight shrieked.
Spike and Applejack could hear them "You can still be mean when you want" she smirked.
"this is me being mean" Spike said "Thats what happens when you read to much egg head!" he yelled after hearing Twilights.
"Okay you hush" Applejack elbowed him but chuckled.
