Highschool Dragon

One Saturday morning, Spike was jogging laps with Rainbow Dash around the school's track field that was unoccupied being a weekend and all.

Rainbow Dash was jogging beside Spike who was determined to keep jogging until he finished his laps, "Come on, Spike. Keep those knees up!"

"I appreciate you training with me today, Rainbow Dash." he panted.

"No prob. I needed to work up a little sweat today anyway." she answered.

"I just hope when this is over I don't cramp up." Spike continued jogging.

"If you do, it means you've exceeded your limit, which is a good thing." she said, as she started jogging backwards to face him.

"You make it look so easy." Spike said in envy.

"Been running since I was four years old." she smirked.

"Good for you." Spike said, as he completed a lap.

"Good job, Spike, that's your fifth lap. Only fifteen more to go." Rainbow said.

Spike looked like he wanted to drop to the floor from exhaustion, but didn't want to disappoint Rainbow. So he continued on determined to finish his twenty laps even if it killed him.

Finally after another fifteen laps around the track field, Spike stopped to catch his breath while Rainbow still looked pumped, "Not bad. And you didn't even throw up." she chuckled.

"Har-har." Spike laughed in sarcasm.

Rainbow drank from a bottle of water along with Spike, before speaking, "I say you and I worked up quite a sweat today."

"No kidding." Spike said, as he gagged from the stench of his own body odor.

"Looks like it's time to shower off." Rainbow suggested.

"Yeah. Good thing Principal Celestia made sure to keep the locker rooms doors unlocked for us afterward." Spike said, as he began to walk away.

"Where are you going?" Rainbow asked.

"To take a shower in the locker room." Spike answered like it was a dumb question.

"Since it's just us, why don't you join me in the girls locker room?" she asked.

Spike suddenly froze up, as if his brain exploded, 'Join Rainbow in the girls locker room?' he thought, before answering, "Rainbow, that's a bold offer. I mean a guy in the girls locker room?"

"Oh, when did you suddenly become so prim?" she put her hands on her hips.

"I'm not, it's just... I didn't think you'd want that."

"It's just gonna be us two in there, so there's no reason to be shy," Rainbow answered, "Come on, I won't tell if you won't."

Spike seeing it didn't bother Rainbow too much, knew at this point he shouldn't pass up an opportunity, "Well, if you're ok with it, I guess I'll go along with it."

"Good, now come on." she said, as they grabbed their bags and headed for the locker room.

Inside the girls locker room, Spike was by one part of room changing out of his sweaty exercise clothes, before wrapping a towel around his waist. He looked around the locker room in amazement.

'Wow, the girls locker room looks a hell of a lot cleaner,' he took a few sniffs, 'And it smells nicer too.'

"Spike, you ready?" came Rainbow's voice from the other side of the row of lockers.

"Yeah. Coming." he said, as he stood up and walked around the other side of the lockers, seeing Rainbow standing in plain sight with a towel wrapped around her athletic body.

Spike's eyes looked drawn to Rainbow's busty mounds concealed inside the towel. Rainbow seeing his reaction smirked, "Feeling shy, big boy?"

Spike upon hearing her, snapped out of his stupor, "Not at all."

"Well, come on. Grab a stall and let's shower off." Rainbow suggested, as they each took a stall which happened to be next to each other. After closing the curtains of them, they removed their towels and started the water.

Each of them started washing off their sweat, as Rainbow spoke, "So what do you think of our exotic locker room, Spike?"

"Well, it sure is different. Our showers are all in one area and not stalls with curtains." he answered, as he rubbed soap over his torso.

"You mean you just shower with no concealment?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah. We don't have much to hide from each other." he explained, while feeling it sounded awkward to admit.

Rainbow laughed, "So have any of you guys had contests and such about who has the..." she was cut off by Spike.

"What happens in the boys locker room stays there, Rainbow. And no we don't do that. At least I don't." he said preserving his dignity.

"What a shame. I'll bet yours is bigger than the rest." Rainbow smirked from inside her stall.

Spike stood there as the water poured on him, looking red at what she just said, "Why do you say that? Did you secretly..."

"No, of course I didn't do anything like that." she answered. The two just chuckled as they continued washing up.

When they finished, they turned the water off and started drying themselves up. Once they stepped out of their stalls with their towels wrapped around them, Spike spoke up, "So, Rainbow, how'd Starswirl Academy's top athlete become part of the elements of harmony?"

Rainbow looked at him, and sighed before taking a seat on the bench, "Well, this started quite a while ago. I was the fourth to join Twilight, not long after Fluttershy joined. Fluttershy and I were close friends back then. Used to attend the same Summer camp when we were kids. I always had an issue for not wanting to settle for second place."

"I can see that even today." Spike replied, as Rainbow knew he was aware of her sport competitive streak.

The girl continued, "Over time I guess I let my issue get in between my normal life with Fluttershy as my friend. When I saw how chummy she was getting with Twilight and the others after she joined I started getting jealous."

"Oh, so you do get jealous." Spike teased.

"No interrupting," she warned him, "Anyway, one day I just flat out made Fluttershy choose between them or me. That was my mistake. She chose them over me because I was treating her like property and not as a friend. I never felt so ashamed of myself in all my life."

"Rainbow." Spike gasped, seeing how Rainbow looked dismal upon remembering how she was. He decided to sit next to her in case she felt lonely.

"The next day I went to apologize to her, until I saw she and the others were under attack by a swarm of Twittermites; little insect creatures that shoot bolts of electricity at their victims. When a bunch were ready to attack Fluttershy I tackled her out of the way. She and Twilight told me to run, but I refused. I couldn't call myself a friend to Fluttershy or anyone if I just ran away and left them. I promised I'd be there for them like a true loyal friend. That's what activated the element of Loyalty which bonded to me, making me into a pegasus. With my ability to control storm and lightning I was able to suck the lightning out of the Twittermites making them weak enough for Twilight to contain and send them back to Equestria."

"Wow." Spike said in awe.

Rainbow continued, "I apologized to them afterward and now I'm a true loyal friend to them."

Spike smiled, "And I know you're more loyal than you say."

"You do?"

"Of course. I've watched the way you play sports, especially on teams. You are a team player, Rainbow. And a loyal friend. Makes me glad to have someone like you for an ally."

Rainbow looked at Spike before realizing she started feeling emotional, "Darn it, now you're getting me all sappy!" she looked away.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with that." Spike said.

"It is when you're me. I have a reputation to uphold."

"Hey, I'm not gonna tell anybody I saw the awesome Rainbow Dash getting emotional." Spike replied.

Rainbow looked back at him, "You're not?"

"Of course not. I'm not that kind of guy."

Rainbow started smiling, "Thanks, Spike. You really are a cool guy."

"I appreciate that." Spike answered.

"Oh, come here you!" she pulled Spike into an embrace, taking him by surprise.

"Whoa!" he gasped, before feeling her wrapped up chest press into his bare chest. He thought to himself, 'Oh, shit. My chest is just a towel separated from her gonzagas!'

Rainbow removed herself off Spike but was still inches away from him, "You know, being in here alone with you has me feeling hot. Almost like anything can happen."

"What're you talking about?" Spike asked, as he started to sweat.

"I mean you and I are alone. Nobody really knows we're here. I'd say this would be a perfect chance for us to get to know each other." she started drawing little circles with her index finger on Spike's bare torso. Spike panted in arousal. Rainbow seeing his reaction smirked, "Oh, you like this don't you?" she continued to tease him as Spike ended up laying down on the bench, as Rainbow got on top of him.

"Rainbow, please." he squirmed.

Rainbow giggled as she looked down at him sniveling like a helpless child, before seeing a tent forming under his towel, "Looks like someone's getting a little excited." she smirked.

"It's not what you think!" Spike cried, before Rainbow put a finger to his lips.

"I know what it is, and I take it as a compliment."

"You do?" he asked.

"Of course. I may not be a total bombshell like Rarity or even Twilight, but even I can see when a guy's into me." she said, while smiling.

"Well, you are gorgeous and a good athlete. That's a very great combo." Spike said.

Rainbow giggled, "Well, here's a little thank you for your thoughtful words." Rainbow leaned downward and puckered up.

'Oh, shit. Things are gonna get real.' he thought, while preparing for what was to follow, and suddenly felt Rainbow peck him on the cheek.

He opened his eyes and looked seeing her lips still planted on his cheek. When she removed her lips she lifted her head up still looking down at him, "How was that?"

"That was awesome." he answered in amaze.

Rainbow smirked, "That's because I am awesome." Spike smiled, seeing this was one hell of a day.

Soon enough the two got changed into cleaner clothes, and left the locker room. They stood outside seeing the sun going down.

"Well, I'm heading off." Rainbow said as she activated her wings.

"Yeah. Me too. I'll catch you later, Rainbow." Spike activated his own wings.

"You too. And let's keep what happened in the locker room between us, huh?" she asked.

"What happens in the locker room stays there." Spike repeated his words from before, and the two laugh before flying off in different directions.

As Spike was flying above the city, he stopped in mid air and pondered to himself, "Man, that was unexpected with what happened with me and Rainbow. In fact some of the stuff with the other girls I had not expected either. If Twilight knew about this, boy she would be pissed." he grew a perverted smile on his face, "Still this attention from each of the girls has been the best attention I've ever received from a girl. I love it." he flew off again, knowing tomorrow was going to be another day.
