Spike's Day Off

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
(Redirected from Spikes Day Off)

Spike's Day Off is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic.

After Spike stays up all night fixing the fence, Twilight realises that he's been working too hard lately, so gives him the day off. Spike is at a bit of a loose end with what to do with his free day and Twilight faces the challenge of fending for herself, which is of course, a recipe for disaster.

It can be found here.

Tropes used in Spike's Day Off include:
  • Amusing Injuries: Poor Twilight...
  • Beleaguered Assistant: Spike, while willing to go out in the blustery weather to fix the fence, is not above complaining about it.
  • Hypercompetent Sidekick: "If you're lucky enough to have an assistant, don't let him out of your sight or all hell will break loose!"
  • Must Have Caffeine: Spike downs a huge jug of coffee in a single gulp.
  • No Sympathy: Played with. The morning after the fence if fixed, Twilight berates Spike for falling asleep at the table, having been up working all night, but then she realises what he'd been through for her and gives him the day off.
  • Spoof Aesop: See Hypercompetent Sidekick above.
