- >The two changelings guarding it hiss at him when he does, prompting to keep his eyes to the ground
- >Anon's been in there for awhile
- >He said if he doesn't come out in an hour to leave
- >Spike curses himself for leaving a pocket watch home
- >Not that he had pockets, or a watch for that matter
- >The sun is just dipping below the horizon
- >He doesn't want to be out here after dark
- >Not with those things...
- >Just when Spike is about to leave
- >A commotion comes from within the cave
- >Anon is being hauled out by a bunch of those things

- "I told her I loved her...."
- >Spike sighs, and helps pull you to your feet as best he can
- >"Honestly, anon, I don't know what you see in her."
- >You glance down at the little dragon
- "I just do, man. I can't really put it to words, there's just something about her that's so...enticing."
- >Spike rolls his eyes and crosses arms, unconvinced
- >"Are you sure you're not being hypnotized right now? Because it sure sounds like it, Anon."
- >You dismiss him with a quick wave of your hand
- "No, no, I'm positive it's nothing like that, besides, you know changling magic doesn't work on anything but ponies."
- >He quickly scurries up your leg up to your shoulders and raps his scaly knuckles against your skull
- >"Equestria to Anon, are you in there, Anon?"
- "Hey cut it out, Spike."
- >You laugh and casual lift the tiny dragon off your shoulders and back onto the ground
- >He chuckles
- "Just checking, Anon. But where do you go from here, she doesn't seem like she wants anything to do with you..."
- >You slip your hands in your pockets and idly kick at the ground below you
- "Honestly, I have no idea..."
- >You glance back at the cave, hoping for an epiphany or some crazy scheme to win her over
- >But nothing comes
- "I'll think of something though, but right now, whaddya say we go grab something from Sugar Cube Corner, my treat."
- >Spike immediately perks up
- >"Can I get a cupcake with extra gem sprinkles?!"
- "You got it, bro, it's the least I could do for you."
- >You hold out your fist and wait for him to return the gesture.
- >He cocks his head and stares at your fist confused
- >"What am I supposed to do?"
- "Really, they don't fist bump in Ponyville"
- >Spike raises an eyebrow, and you quickly realize your error
- "Well shit, okay, you just hold up your fist, bring it to mine, annnnd...."
- >You complete the most scared ritual of your race, spreading the bro Gospel to Equestria
