Spikes

Spikes is the femslash ship between Spooky Spoon and Five from the Numberjacks fandom.

Canon
Throughout the show, Spooky and Five are rivals, the first episode they share being Spooky's debut Getting Heavy.

However, their relationship is different to that of Spooky and the other Numberjacks or Five with the other Meanies. They both often like to tease each other, compared to how Five is more defensive around Meanies such as the Puzzler. Often when Spooky makes a snarky remark or brags about her abilities, Five will respond with a similar sarcastic comment unlike the other numbers who would bluntly tell her what they think.

The two share six episodes in which Five is the one on the mission. These include:
 * S01E08, Getting Heavy
 * S01E09, Belongings
 * S01E12, Out of Order
 * S01E37, Time Trouble
 * S01 Special 1, Counting Down to Christmas
 * S02E18, Interesting Times

In Time Trouble, Spooky refers to Five sarcastically as her "Numbery friend". In the same episode, she manages to chase Five onto the edge of some playground apparatus and makes her unable to see, leaving her vulnerable to falling off the edge and getting badly hurt. Brain Gain is then sent to her to stop her from falling too fast. However, it is revealed in Seaside Adventure that Spooky can bat Brain Gain away - and yet she did not do this and allowed Five to be rescued.

Spikes is less popular than ShapeSpook but more than ShapeSix, SquareDancing and other MeaniexNumberjack ships. Spikes is the most popular MeaniexNumberjack ship. It is the second most popular ship involving Five, the most popular being the ship between her and Six. It is unknown when the ship began to emerge, but it is rather popular despite not looking like it is. It was popularised by the famous enemies-to-lovers trope.
