Spike yawned as he faded back in to reality once more. He wiped the crud from his eyes, and looked around the room. By the look of things, it was still early yet The room was dimly lit by the light which seeped from the gaps in the curtains. It felt sort of strange to be back in his room again. He was used to being woken up by Redheart via a buzzer. The buzzer would ring once in the morning, twice for meal time, and thrice for curfew. It was a simple, yet effective system. The system got spike thinking. Seeing as Rarity's specialist wasn't going to arrive for another week, he was planning a simillar system with a tiny, little bell. Spike tinkered with the system for a few days, until it was just right. Today, he figured he would finish the project. Right after breakfast, of course.
Spike leaped out of the bed, and landed unevenly on the ground, though able to keep from falling. He opened the blinds, letting in the full force of the sun. Spike cringed, as his eyes tried to adjust to the sun's rays. "Man, it's bright out." he grumbled, as he opened the window. He felt a cool, and comfortable breeze flowing in. "Now to make the bed". He said to himself. Spike wasn't too into chores, but it made Twilight happy.
"Spike?" Twilight called out from downstairs. "Are you awake?"
"Yeah, Twi".
"Sweetie Belle is here to see you".
Spike was puzzled as to why the white pony would be doing here. Spike would usually meet Sweetie belle around 4pm, just when she is finished school. She would stay for an hour, usually talking with him, and aided the dragon whenever Rarity needed tending to. He figured she must have been there because of his abscence this morning. "Ugh... I should have left a note."
(At the breakfast table)
Spike sat upright, with a big bowl of diamonds, and a nervous look on his face. Sweetie Belle sat before him. Her expression was a special blend of pissed, heartbroken, and poorly masked anger. He reached for one of his diamonds, sheepishly nibbling on it, his eyes flickering between his breakfast and the pissed off mare that stood before him. He also took a peek in twilight's direction. Twilight looked like she just ran over a puppy with a sports car.
"Spike, why weren't you at the hospital with Rarity this morning?" Sweetie Belle asked, giving him a cold glare. Not an aggressive glare, but a glare a woman would give her lover if (s)he was suspected of cheating.
Spike gulped down his food before speaking."I snuck in here, as I usually did for a quick snack. But Twi knew I wasn't sleeping or eating properly, so she sent me to bed."
"Well, Rarity woke up early, and threw a panic when she knew you weren't there!" she spat, pointing a hoof at the purple dragon. Twilight stepped in to defend her assistant. "Now hold on, this wasn't Spike's fault. It was just one of those things. Spike didn't know he wouldn't be returning that night. There is no need to blame him, especially seeing as he was kind enough to spend all his time with her." Twilight seemed to get her message across, as Sweetie Belle's anger melted. She took in a deep breath, then sighed. "Sorry for getting mad at you Spike. I am just a little shook up, lately". This was understandable, seeing as Sweetie belle had to take over Rarity's buisiness to pay for food, and for the hospital fees, along with trying to balance it with her school life. It must have been daunting for her. Spike took another bite from his diamonds.
Sweetie Belle looked up, with a softer expression than before. "Anyway, We may have a lead into who assaulted Rarity!"
Spike nearly choked on his food. "W-What? That's wonderful-ack!" he choked out, trying to mask the pain of choking on a near indestructable mineral by putting on a big, corny smile.
"Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara were also attacked just yesterday. When they were found, they were tied together with the same kind of thread Rarity's mouth was sown together with. When they were untied, they told the cops that the Diamond dogs had their way with them. It was a miracle that someponies noticed their abscence, and went to form a search party. None of them had any worrisome physical injuries, and they didn't end up pregnant, but they were pretty shaken up. And Diamond Tiara...". Sweetie Belle took a pause. "When I saw her earlier this morning... she couldn't form a cohenent sentence. It was either incessant giggling, or her calling for Silver Spoon".
Spike's stomach churned. This seemed rather illogical, not to mention extremely horrid.
"But this makes no sense. Why on earth would the Diamond Dogs attack Rarity? Or Rape Diamond
Tiara and Silver Spoon?".
"Who can say?" she shrugged her shoulders. Spike didn't know what to make of this. The Diamond dogs are crazy, but they weren't monsters. Monsters don't concede when their victim starts whining. Why would they rape two fillies with no provocation? Though it would make sense as to why they would want retribution against Rarity. And seeing as DT and SS are rather fancy, maybe the Diamond Dogs affilalated them with her. That would make sense.
"I got a theory. Maybe The Diamond Dogs wanted revenge because of what Rarity done to them in the Diamond Mines. And maybe they attacked Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, because they thought they were related or something."
"What makes you think that?" Asked Sweetie Belle.
"The Diamond Dogs aren't very bright, so that must mean when they saw them, they thought they were related somehow because of how upper crust they were?".
Twilight suddenly rejoined the discussion once again. "Sweetie Belle. I asked the nurses why they needed a professional to come in. They told me that this was the only doctor who knew how to remove the particular thread used to sow up Rarity's mouth. Care to explain that?" Spike knew this side of Twilight all too well. When Twilight had a hunch, she was almost always right.
"Oh. Apparently it is Diamond Spider silk, or something. It is apparently indestructable."
"Diamond Spider Silk. Just as I thought. But where would they get the money for that? It's as expensive as dragon scales. Even with a truckload of diamonds, you wouldn't be able to buy enough
to floss with! That, along with the unusually long amount of time they took to get back at Rarity, would mean they are either uninvolved, or the Diamond Dogs had more than one person"
"Maybe we should shed this info with the-" Spike said, before a knock on the door ended the conversation.
"Spike, could you go get that?" asked Twilight.
Spike walked over and peeked through the window of the door. He gasped. "I-its..."
Oh Snap! What a craptastic cliffhanger! Anyway, who do you suppose is at the door? Please leave your answer in the reviews section. And Please review. I need some motivation for writing this trainwreck. Speaking of writing, When I am done this, I have a horror/Comedy fanfic planned. It is gonna be based around the segment online called "Ask Butchershy and Pinkamena". I plan to make it only a two chapter, with one being a clop, of the disturbing variety. How disturbing? Well Pinkamena will think Butchshy is dead, and will nearly discect her. The funny thing, as Butchershy was shown to get turned on by the idea in the video, so that's what happens here. Also, did I mention that Moonveil was the inspiration for this fanfic? Ah, nevermind. Please review. And sorry I couldn't make it longer. I have a TINY attention span.
