Spike's Life with Ladies
Trouble With Women
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpike was slumping in a chair at an outdoor diner, he was still thinking about what happened back there with Flitter, Cloudchaser, Lyra, and Sweetie Drops. Needless to say he was shaken up quite a bit, it wasn't everyday that extremely sexy females come onto you, it's not that he didn't like it in fact the feeling of those big mounds close to his face was exhilarating, but he doesn't want to come off as some horny dog, plus he wasn't used to such attention.
'Jeez, it's tiring enough that my closest friends are flirting with me, but now any girl in town.' he thought to himself. When he was younger, the mane 6 used to treat him as if he was their own younger brother, but once he got older they started to notice how much of a young man he started to become of course there's also the fact that he has been a great to them whenever they needed it, along with being such a sweet and caring person as well, those factors among others are what caused them to grow feelings for him. As for him it was no mystery that to this day he continued to hold love for Rarity, but if he was to be honest he felt that the others were also incredibly attractive themselves, they also have tons of admirable qualities. He can't help but also fall for them too. His looked around and saw the other patrons of the diner, on one table was Minuette, she was licking on an ice-cream cone, pulling it in and out of her mouth, what really caught his attention was that she was looking back at him and winked making him blush and turn away.
"Excuse me sir." he looked up and saw a waiter with a tray of hay fries.
"Um yes?"
"Your fries." the waiter placed the tray on the table.
Spike looked at the tray with confusion. "I didn't order anything."
"These are compliments of the lovely ladies over there." he gestured to a nearby table where the flower trio, Roseluck was waving flirtatiously over to him, Lily Valley raised her beverage and winked, and Daisy blew him a kiss or two. Spike sheepishly waved back, the action was enough to make them faint.
"Wow how did you do that?" the waiter asked in surprise.
"Honestly man I have no idea at this point." as the waiter left he figured he might as well not let hay fries go to waste. That's another thing he's noticed is that women tend to have a fondness of him, when he was a kid teenage or adult women would often fawn over how adorable he was, sometimes the girls would be somewhat affectionate, Rarity would give him hugs and kisses on the cheek, Pinkie would cuddle with him, Rainbow always gave him noogies, Fluttershy hugged him close to her chest when they first met, Applejack rubbed his hair soothingly, and Twilight sometimes invited him to sleep on the same bed with her. Now things are different they are going as far as too offer him to spending the night with them.
"Spike, you okay?" somepony asked, he looked up and saw Bic Mac.
"Oh hey Big Mac, I'm fine why do you ask?"
"Ya seem to have somethin' on your mind." Big Mac observed.
"Yeah, It's kinda complicated."
"Wanna talk about it?" asked Big Mac.
"I don't know, you really want to listen to me ramble on about my problems?" Spike asked rhetorically.
"Eeyup."
Spike paused for a moment and answered. "Okay then." He got up from the table and the two of them walked off. Back at the table where the trio were at, they were still passed out, the waiter from before looked at them.
"Excuse me ladies, but will you be paying for the fries?" Silence was the only answer he got. "Hello? Are you alright? (sigh) why is it that whenever that dragon boy comes here, this kind of thing happens?" he asked mostly to himself.
Back at the Castle Of Friendship, Twilight was in the library checking off her to-do list.
"Okay Re-shelve the books...check. See if the map is working...check. Feed Owlicious...check. Well that's about it, hmm not that much to do left." her musings were cut off by the door opening and saw Starlight Glimmer walking in.
"Hey Twilight."
"Starlight, is there something you want?"
"Actually do you know where Spike is?" Starlight asked.
"Oh he's in out right now, why?" Twilight asked, curious.
"It's just that earlier today there was an um...incident." she nervously explained with a blush on her face.
This got Twilight somewhat confused. "What happened?"
Starlight hesitated a little but told her. 'Well I was lost in the castle for a little bit looking for the library, I opened what I though was a door to it, but it turned out to be the door to the bathroom, and found Spike...wearing only a towel."
Twilight then dropped her quill and checklist and stared at her in shock. After a brief moment of silence, she was able to find her voice. "...You saw Spike wearing nothing but a towel?" she asked with wide eyes
"Yeah, i-it was super awkward especially when I slipped and he caught me."
"Wait, he caught you?"
"Yes."
"You were held by him barely naked?" Twilight asked just to be sure.
"Pretty much yeah, we were way past awkward at that point, especially since I kinda enjoyed it." she admitted blushing, then composed herself. "Anyway, I just wanted to say 'sorry', about it, I didn't mean for what happened to you know..happen."
"I'll let him know."
"Thanks, see ya." Starlight exited from the library, Twilight was alone thinking about what she told her.
'She was held by Spike's big strong arms? Ugh, she doesn't know how lucky she is, I should be thankful that it didn't escalate any further, I can only imagine how Spike...may...feel.' Twilight realized something, when Spike came home earlier, he looked kinda exhausted, she assumed that it must've had something to do with the girls. She's an intelligent alicorn, she knows that like her the rest of the mane 6 are attracted to Spike and aren't afraid to express it. From what she could gather, they all must've tried to seduce him, well then it seems like she needs to up her game.
Meanwhile back with Spike and Big Mac, he's been telling him exactly what's been happening to him for the majority of today.
"So that's pretty much it." Spike told him, finishing his tale. Big Mac gave out a whistle.
"Seems to be ya got yer work cut out for ya." he stated.
"Tell me about it, things have been like this ever since my 18th birthday, I mean they've been affectionate before but not like this."
"I'm honestly not that surprised." he said making Spike look at him. "Believe it or not Spike those girls have been pining for you for some time."
"Really?" he said shocked. "How do you know?"
"Ah may not talk that much but Ah can see, at first you were a young kid so they treated you like so, but the more you grew up the more they started to see ya as a grown man. That ain't all you're always willing to help them with any problem with no hesitation, you show how much ya care about them, and well they all love you now, not just them but you've caught the eye of a lot of gals."
"Wow, that is very insightful." Spike said after a pause. "Also, I think that's the longest I've ever heard you talk since we met." he remarked. "Nevertheless thanks for the talk."
"Anytime buddy." he said.
"Still, I gotta admit whenever I thought of being with somepony I always thought it'd be just with Rarity, but now it's with them too. I don't want to have choose between all of them." Spike told him with a sad look.
"Actually you don't hafta."
Spike turned to him. "What do you mean?"
"Ya know how around Equestria, the female/male ratio is 5:1?" Spike nodded. "Well to make things easy, a male can have more than one lover."
"Wait a-are you suggesting that I start a harem or something?"
"Ah'm only trying ta say that there is an easy way."
"I get that, but I don't know if they might be willing, also bear in mind that I'm also talking about Applejack, you're younger sister." Spike clarified.
"Spike there aren't that many guys Ah can trust with my sisters, but you're one of the few exceptions."
"Wow thanks."
"Also when it comes to the other girls, you either include them or just do it for the hay of it. It's all up to you."
"I'll keep that in mind. Anyway, thanks Big Mac, really appreciate it."
"Happy to help, if you excuse me ah got errands to run."
"Later." Spike was now alone, his mind wandered to what Big Mac told him. 'Hmm a harem, it's probably best if I play this right, otherwise it'll blow up in my face.'
Pinkie Pie was skipping happily along the road, a few minutes ago she got a letter from Derpy saying that Twilight had something important she wanted talk to her and the rest of the girls about, curious she ended her shift and went straight towards the castle, once there she saw that the others were there already.
"Hey girls!" she greeted.
"Hi Pinkie." Fluttershy greeted back.
"Take it ya got the same mail Derpy gave all of us?" Applejack asked her.
"Yep." nodded Pinkie.
"I do so wonder why she summoned us, it must be important since we're all here. Perhaps the map has a new part of Equestria for two of us to venture in." Rarity suggested.
"I hope so, it's been weeks with like zero action it better be important." The five of them entered into the castle, inside Twilight was waiting for them in the throneroom.
"Hello everypony." she greeted with a neutral expression.
"Is something the matter Twilight?" asked Rarity.
"Sit and I'll tell you." The girls were mildly confused but complied.
"So what's up Twi?" asked Rainbow.
"Tell me, did Spike happen to visit you all this morning?" Twilight asked.
"Why as a matter of fact he did." Rarity confirmed.
"Technically, I sorta crashed into him, but he was alright." Rainbow said before they could admonish her for it.
"I see well then would you like to tell me what you did?" Twilight asked which sounded like a demand.
"What do you mean?" Pinkie asked, feigning ignorance.
"No use playing coy girls, you all deliberately came onto him didn't you?" she demanded.
"Wha-Twilight Sparkle, I am insulted that you think I would seduce sweet innocent Spikey-Wikey." Rarity stated, but Twilight's critical gaze didn't buy it. "Okay fine, I admit I might have been a tad suggestive."
"Is that what this is about? Don't see how that's a problem." Rainbow said, until she smirked. "Wait, you're jealous."
Twilight blushed and looked away. "What? of course not." she denied.
"Really, so you won't mind if I could borrow him for a few days, maybe have him sleep over a lot." Pinkie said.
"Pinkie!" Twilight exclaimed at her. "That is out of the question!"
"Oh relax Twilight, I know yer being protective of the little guy, but can ya blame us? He is just so so darn handsome and sweet." Applejack reasoned, the rest of the girls nodded in agreement.
"Well um, just so you know it wasn't my intention, I tripped over and fell on him, completely by accident." Fluttershy chimed.
"Well, I guess it's fair to to tell you that I kinda teased him a little." Twilight admitted.
"Besides, Spike's a young man he may try to hide it but I know he didn't mind." Rarity declared. "Also, it's pretty clear on who he enjoyed the most."
"Uh-huh." said Pinkie.
"Yep." Applejack responded.
"Duh." Rainbow rolled her eyes.
"Its's obvious." Twilight said with confidence.
"It's certainly a no-brainer." Fluttershy said.
"Me!" they all said in unison. They all did a double-take.
"I'm sorry but you all are mistaken, it's obviously me." Rarity told them with somewhat snobbish tone in her voice.
"What really makes you say that Miss Fancy?" demanded Applejack.
"Yeah, how could he not want all this?" Rainbow gestured to her attractive athletic body. "Plus he'd have an awesome girl like me."
"Oh please, we all know that Spike has always held immense love for me, so it's obvious that he prefers an elegant beauty like myself." Rarity arrogantly claimed.
"There is a lot of wrong in that sentence, I mean Spike could very well prefer strong, hard-working gals who like himself is willing to help whenever it's needed. Not just that , but a gal who is always honest with him, a strong relationship is based on honesty you know, by which I mean myself." Applejack made a good point.
"Yeah well you forgot loyalty AJ." Rainbow chimed in. "I'd never go behind Spike's back, the two of us would never abandon each other for anything." she proclaimed.
"Very good examples ladies, but another good quality in a girlfriend is how generous she can be, I would give Spike anything he desired. I'm not talking about menial objects, but things that show how much I simply adore him." Rarity said.
"That's nice, but in my expert opinion, getting a good laugh out of him is also nice. Of course, there will also be the great parties we'll have, loud music, flashing lights, and let's not forget the after party." Pinkie smirked.
"But Spike is the only dragon I've never been afraid of in return I've given him nothing but kindness, he also pet-sitted for me a lot of times and I feel so much safer around him." Fluttershy said.
"Alright girls that's enough." Twilight announced, silencing them. "Look it's obvious that we all have feelings for Spike, but I think you should all be aware that we're not the only ones, practically every single female in Ponyville along with other towns have the hots for him." This cited them to murmur in agreement. "But what's really important is how this affects Spike, Celestia knows that he never expected to be in this kind of position. You all should just give give him some space."
"Why only us Twilight?" Rarity said with narrowed eyes.
"Huh?"
"It seems to me that you probably don't want any competition in pining for his heart."
"What? No that's-that's ridiculous." Twilight laughed nervously.
"Of course, you probably think you're his soul mate because you've known him the longest." Rainbow said.
"Well I did hatch him so..."
"It seems we have a competition brewing ladies." Pinkie stated, as they all looked at each other. With the six of them, and countless other women, it looks Spike will really have his work cut out for him, even more so than before. This should be interesting, very interesting indeed.
