MLP: PAM Fanfic 13: Fire's Out

One day, Spike went for a walk in the Everfree Forest.

Spike: Ah. What a great day for a walk. I sure hope I don't run into any timber wolves today.

Spike looked all around.

Spike: Nothing could make my day go bad. Nothing at all.

After a while, Spike got a bit thirsty.

Spike: Oh boy. Walking can sure tire a dragon out.

Then Spike saw something.

Spike: Hey what's that?

What Spike saw was a tree with some strange looking fruit on it. He ran over.

Spike: Wow. I wonder what this could be.

Spike climbed up the tree and grabbed one of the odd looking fruit. He thought that the stem looked like it could be taken off like a cap on a bottle. Spike tried to do this, and much to his surprise, he could. Inside the fruit was a delicious looking liquid.

Spike: Oh boy. This looks refreshing.

So Spike drank from the fruit until it was empty.

Spike: Ah. That was refreshing. Just what a dragon needed after a walk in the woods. Oh well, I better go back home now. Twilight will be wondering where I have gone.

So Spike hurried home. Later that night, Twilight wanted to do some reading, but she couldn't get her candles to light.

Twilight: Hey Spike,

Spike: Yes, Twilight?

Twilight: Would you mind lighting these candles for me?

Spike: Sure.

So Spike grabbed a candle and tried to light it. But nothing came out. He tried again, but nothing came out.

Twilight: Spike, what are you doing? Light the candle.

Spike: I'm trying. I don't know what's going on.

Spike blew a few times at the candle, but no fire. Spike was out of breath from trying.

Spike: I don't know what's going on. My fire breath has never given up on me before.

Then Twilight noticed something on Spike's lip. She got a Popsicle stick and got it off Spike. She took a look at it.

Twilight: Spike, did you drink a Fireout Fruit?

Spike: Fireout Fruit?

Twilight got out her book of fruits and turned to a page showing Fireout Fruit. Much to Spike's dismay, the picture shown was the same fruit he drank from today.

Spike: Uh-oh. I think I might have.

Twilight: Spike, no dragon should ever drink Fireout Fruit Juice. It's sticks inside your throat and makes your fire go out. That's what it's called Fireout Fruit.

Spike: Oh no. I didn't know about that. And the juice tastes so good too. I was just thirsty after my walk in the woods today.

Twilight: Well, you just blocked up your fire breath.

Spike: Well, is there a cure?

Twilight: Hmmmm. Let me see?

Twilight read the book for a while to find a cure.

Twilight: It says there's no known cure.

Spike: (GASPS) Oh no.

Twilight: We'll figure something out Spike. Let's see Zecora tomorrow morning. She might know what to do.

Spike: OK.

So the next morning, Twilight and Spike went to see Zecora. Twilight showed Zecora the Fireout Fruit in her book.

Zecora: Hmmmm. Fireout Fruit, that's quite a shame. But the dragon didn't know, so he's not to blame.

Spike: Do you know of a cure that can bring the fire back? I don't want to be a fire-less dragon for the rest of my life.

Zecora: You've come to the right place, my friend. I'll tell you the cure, so things will be alright in the end.

Zecora got out her book showing what they needed for a cure.

Zecora: Here are the ingredients for the cure. But finding them won't be easy, that's for sure. The first ingredient is a blue mushroom. They are found close to were your ancestor faced his doom. The second to find is a shell, it can be found at the beach, that I can tell. Finally, after those to have been found, a spark of alicorn magic is what's needed to sound, to give the mushroom and shell the might, to make the cure just right. Then all you have to do is give it a drink, and then, your fire will be back, I think.

Twilight: Thank you, Zecora. I'll write that down on my list.

So Twilight got out her paper and wrote down what she needed to find.

Twilight: OK. We'll be on our way. Come on, Spike.

Spike: Coming. Thanks again, Zecora.

Zecora smiled as Twilight and Spike left. Twilight and Spike were on the road to find the cure. Spike was riding on Twilight's back.

Twilight: OK. Zecora said that the blue mushrooms are where your ancestor faced his doom. I'm guessing she was talking about where the Dragon Knight fell all those years ago.

Spike: I think Zecora said they were close to where he faced his doom.

Twilight: Oh, right. OK.

Spike: So, where did this happen anyway?

Twilight: According to the book about the Dragon Knight, it happened on the other end of the Everfree Forest. So, the mushrooms have to be around there.

Twilight and Spike soon arrived at the other end of the Everfree Forest.

Twilight: There it is.

She ran over.

Twilight: OK. I've got to make sure this is the place.

Twilight used her magic to make the grass move over to find the crack in the ground to make sure they were in the right spot. And sure enough, they were.

Twilight: OK. This is the place. Now to find the mushrooms.

Spike got off Twilight's back and started looking around. Spike then saw something blue in a distance.

Spike: Twilight, I think I found them.

Twilight: You did?

Spike: Yes. Over here.

Twilight and Spike ran over to the blue patch. But it wasn't mushrooms they found, it was Poison Joke.

Twilight: Spike, these aren't mushrooms, this is poison joke.

Spike: Oh. Well, it looked blue.

Twilight: Let's keep looking at get away from this poison joke. I'm not in the mood to have a floppy horn again.

So Twilight and Spike walked away from the poison joke and started looking again. Then Twilight saw something blue in the distance.

Twilight: Spike, I think I found them.

Spike: You did?

Spike ran over to Twilight.

Spike: Where?

Twilight pointed.

Twilight: Over there.

They ran over to the blue patch. But this time, what they saw were a bunch of blue rocks.

Twilight: Oh. These aren't mushrooms. Sorry, Spike.

Spike sighed.

Spike: That's alright.

Twilight: Let me take a look at the list.

Twilight looked at the list and saw that the blue mushrooms were not only blue, but they also sparkled.

Twilight: Spike, the mushrooms are suppose to be sparkling. We need to find a blue patch that is sparkling.

Spike: OK. We're bound to find them this time.

So they looked around. And then Spike saw it.

Spike: Over there. It's blue, and it's sparkling!

Twilight: That must be it1

They ran over to the patch and they were right. It was the mushrooms they were looking for.

Twilight: Yay! We found them!

They picked a couple of mushrooms and they went on to find the next thing. The shell. Spike got on board Twilight's back, and they flew to the beach. Since summer was at it's end, the beach had no ponies visiting it. Twilight and Spike landed on the beach to look for the shell.

Spike: OK, Twilight. What does this shell look like?

Twilight: Well, let me see.

Twilight got out her list.

Twilight: The shell is green with purple spots on it.

But Spike went off to look only after he heard Twilight say "green", so he didn't hear the part with purple spots. he soon found a shell that was green.

Spike: Twilight, is this it?

Twilight: No, Spike. The shell we're looking for has purple spots.

Spike: Oh. I thought you said it was green.

Spike went on looking before Twilight had the chance to say...

Twilight: But it is green, just with....

Spike found another shell, this one has purple spots. But it was white, not green.

Spike: Is this it?

Twilight: No, Spike. The shell we're looking for is, are you listening this time?

Spike: Yeah. I'm listening.

Twilight: The shell is green and....

Spike was still listening.

Twilight: Has purple spots.

Spike: Green with purple spots. I got it now!

Spike then looked and saw it.

Spike: Is this it?

Twilight: Yes! Well done, Spike.

Spike ran over to the shell and picked it up. But then a crab came out of it.

Spike: AAAAAH!

And he dropped it. The crab scurried away.

Twilight: Try another one.

Spike looked and found another green shell with purple spots. He made sure this time that there was no crab inside, and there wasn't.

Spike: This one's good, Twilight.

Twilight: Perfect.

Soon, Twilight and Spike returned to Zecora's place.

Zecora: Now that we have the two ingredients, we need alicorn magic, that is it.

Twilight: OK.

So Twilight make a spark from her horn and that made the mushrooms and the shell glow.

Twilight: OK. So now what?

Zecora: Now we put the ingredients in the bowl. Then we stir, and then it's whole.

Soon the cure was done. Spike grabbed the bowl.

Spike: Well, here it goes.

Spike started to drink the bowl. He didn't like the taste that much, but he drank every last drop of it.

Twilight: Well, did it work?

Spike: Only one way to find out.

Spike was about to blow fire. But Zecora stopped him.

Zecora: Wait, not in here. You don't want to start a fire, do ye?

Spike: Oh. Sorry.

So they went outside, and Spike got ready to blow his fire. And he did it.

Spike: It's back! My fire is back.

Twilight: Hooray!

Spike: Now to take care of something.

Spike walked off. Leaving Twilight and Zecora confused. Spike arrived at the tree where he found the Fireout Fruit.

Spike: OK, Tree. You caused my fire to go out, now take this.

Spike took a deep breath and breathed fire on the tree, burning it down.

Spike: Well, that takes care of that.

Twilight then arrived.

Twilight: (Gasps) Spike! What did you do?

Spike: I burned the tree down! That's what I did.

Twilight: But Spike, that tree also helps to make the air clean.

Spike: What?

Twilight: You shouldn't burn down a tree just because you drank from a piece of fruit from it when you shouldn't have.

Spike: Uh oh. I didn't know.

Spike knelled to the ground.

Spike: I'm sorry, Twilight. I didn't know.

Twilight: That's alright, Spike. It was just one tree. Come on, let's go home.

So Twilight and Spike returned home, Spike lit the candles like he tried to before, and they had a wonderful evening together.

The End
