My Little Hunchback Of Notre Dame

Chapter 4

At the Canterlot Church & Bell Tower, Spike who was wearing a blue cape with a hood on it was climbing down the side of the wall. He stopped halfway to see an oncoming group of ponies singing. He looked up to see Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle looking at him, and smiling. Pinkie Pie waved, and Spike smiled. He slid down on the rope that was holding the decorations. He stopped at the pole and continued to watch the show from there. Suddenly, the rope broke, and Spike yelled out as it swung him into Canterlot Square. Spike looked up to see the group of ponies. One of the ponies lifted her hood to reveal herself as a unicorn pony named Trixie who seeks justice for earth ponies. "Let the Feast Of Fools begin!" Trixie said as the confetti fell out, and the banners were put in place. The ponies cheered, and they began to party. Spike was working his way through the crowd, and seeing crazy things. Suddenly, he tripped on a rope, and he came crashing into a dressing tent of Applejack, bringing the curtain down. "Hey!" Applejack said as she quickly put her brown hat with rubies on it. "Are ya'll all right?" Spike hid his face with his hood, and said "I didn't mean to...I'm sorry." "You're not hurt, are ya'll?" Applejack asked as she walked over to Spike. "Here, here, let's see." "No, no, no!" Spike yelled out as Applejack turned his face to look at here. "There." Applejack said as Apple Bloom gasped in fright. "See? No harm done." Spike smiled at Applejack, not only because he was happy that she didn't flinch at the sight of him, but because he was falling in love with her.

As Applejack led Spike out of her tent, she said "Just try to be a little more careful." "I-I-I will." Spike said as he stepped out. "By the way, great mask, sugarcube." Applejack said as she closed the curtain tent, and Spike just smiled. He then continued his way through the celebration while AJ and the guards arrive on the scene and spreaded out. Discord then stepped out of his carriage, went to his box seat, and sat down. AJ parked his carriage next to Discord's box seat. Trixie then jumped on stairs, and said "Come one, and come all! See the finest mare in Equestria make an entrance to entrance. The great and powerful Trixie presents Applejack's Dance Of Equestria! Now, dance Applejack, dance!" On the last word, Trixie disappeared in a puff of purple smoke, and Applejack appeared in her place, wearing a red dress, and started dancing while twirling a rope in the air with her tail. Discord looked at AJ, and said "Look at that disgusting display." "Yes, sir!" AJ said while smiling. Applejack then ran to Discord, gave him an orange and red striped scarf, and a kiss on the head before running back to the stage. Discord yanked the scarf off of him, and glared at the earth pony. Applejack then used threw her rope at a nearby pole, and she twirled in the air, and then she let the rope go, and she landed on the stage, and struck a pose.

As the ponies cheered, threw their bits to her, AJ threw his bit, and Spike clapped for her. Trixie then appeared on the stage, and said "And now, mares and gentlecolts, the piece de resistance! The moment you all have been waiting for! Now's the time we laughed until our sides get sore! Now's the time we crown the King Of Fools! You all remember last year's king?!" They all turned to see an earth pony named Hayseed Turnip Truck wearing a gold crown with sapphire gems on it smiling and waving. "So make a face that's horrible, frightening, and gruesome." Trixie said. "For the face that's ugliest will be the King Of Fools." Applejack pulled Spike up on the stage, and his cape with the hood on it, fell off it. Applejack pulled off a red makes to reveal an unicorn named Trenderhoof who made an ugly face. The crowd booed, and Apple Bloom kicked him off the stage and into the mud. Applejack then pulled a blue mask off another unicorn named Fancy Pants who made an ugly face. The crowd booed, and Apple Bloom kicked him off the stage, and into the mud. One by one, the ponies were kicked off the stage, and into the mud. When they came up to Spike, Apple Bloom screamed, and hid behind her sister who tried to pull his mask off, only to realize that it's his real face. Applejack gasped in shock, and everypony else gasped in shock too. "That's no mask!" A unicorn named Claude said. "It's his face!" A pegasai pony named Spitfire said. "He's hideous!" A unicorn named Lyra Heartstrings said. "It's the bell ringer from the Canterlot Church & Bell Tower!" Thunderhooves said in shock.

Discord gasped in shock, and dismay, because he realized that Spike snuck out of the bell tower in Canterlot. Spike realized that everypony are disgusted by him, he became so devastasted that he hid his face in his claws. "Mares and gentlecolts, don't panic!" Trixie said. "We asked for the ugliest face in Equestria, and here he is! Spike the dragon of Canterlot!" Trixie place a silver crown with rubies on it in his head, and the crowd cheered with delight. They threw Hayseed Turnip Truck to the floor, and they put Spike on their shoulders. They carried him to the platform, and Trixie put a purple cape with white fur on it on him, and gave him a gold scepter. Spike smiled, and waved at Discord who just glared at him. Everypony started to cheer for the dragon. Even Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle were cheering for their friend.
