Betraying a Friend
is a Tom and Jerry One-Shot Fic by MovieVillain
, where Spike found out that he's been lied to by Jerry when it comes to Tom...
Betraying a Friend has the following tropes:
- Adaptational Karma: Spike found out that Jerry has been hurting him and his son just to pin the blame on Tom, and later left the beaten and tied mouse on the cat's front door.
- Armor-Piercing Question: Spike gives one to Jerry, asking him if all that time he was beating up Tom was a case of Jerry using the cat as a scapegoat to hurt him.
- Et Tu, Brute?: It's clear from Spike's questioning that he is hurt that all those times he blamed Tom for his and Tyke's injuries were actually Jerry's doing."All you did was hurt me with fireworks, took my bone, and hit me with a golf club. [...] And what's worse is that you also hurt Tyke, my son. He trusted you with his life; I trusted you with my life. It's about time to be honest, my friend. Did you hurt me all these years and make me think that it was that cat who did it?"
- Heartfelt Apology: Spike left the tied up Jerry for Tom with a note saying that he apologized for hurting him and blaming him for the things that are actually Jerry's fault.
- Oh, Crap!: Jerry is sweating bullets when Spike figures out the truth.
