Life-Changing

5 years ago...

It was a stormy cold night, rain was drizzling everywhere. At a street, a car was ablaze in flames, police cars were surrounding it, telling a crowd of people to back off from it, fire fighters were trying their best to calm the flames. News vans were also present, multiple video cameras were pointed to the burning vehicle. One female reporter was in front of one, detailing the events that have transpired.

"Earlier tonight, the police were informed of a car explosion occurring right at this location." she stated. "From what we could gather; the car in question was the only vehicle around, so no one is exactly sure what caused it, it was reported that a family of three was inside; a mother and father, along with their 8-year old child. Though both parents have been confirmed to have perish, fortunately their son was able to get out of harm's way."

"Back up! This is a dangerous area, move back now!" a male police officer yelled. He along with his fellow officers were keeping people away from the spectacle. Near one police car, a female officer was comforting a little boy of 8 years, who was crying his eyes out. He had green hair and eyes, a purple shirt, and green shorts. His eyes were red from the many tears that have escaped his eyes.

"Mommy...Daddy!" he sniffled. The officer hugged him tight and rubbed his head.

"Shh. Shh. It's okay sweetie." she said soothingly. "The paramedic's on its way, we'll get you help." Her partner approached them.

"How's the kid doing?" he asked with sympathy.

"Not well." she answered still hugging him. "He's lucky to be alive.

"Wish the same could be said for his parents." he said, looking at the flaming car."

"What'll happen to him?"

"We'll have to contact his next of kin, or family friend, at least someone who can take care of him. 'Cause as of now, he'll need it." he stated, as they both looked at the green-haired child

5 years later...

The sun shines over a nice quiet neighborhood, it was the beginning of a new day. We focus on one particular house, specifically inside one of the rooms. On the bed was the he same boy from 5 years ago; now at the age of 13, his green hair has grown somewhat and was sleeping comfortably, little did he know his door opened ever so lightly, a figure tip-toed her way to him. Casting her shadow over him, she jumped on the bed.

"Morning Spike!" she exclaimed, startling him.

"Ahh!" he yelled in surprise. He looked and saw that the culprit was a teenage girl with dark blue hair and red eyes, she was wearing a school uniform, a white blouse with a red skirt, blue kneesocks and brown shoes..

"Ember, what the heck?" he asked outrageous. "Couldn't you have just nudged me awake or something?

"As if that would work, you're such a heavy sleeper it would take the world's loudest alarm clock to wake you up." Ember chuckled. "Now get dressed you lazy bum, or we'll be late for school." she told him getting off the bed and exiting his room.

Grumbling in annoyance, Spike got up, got out of his pjs and changed into his school uniform. It was a male variation of Ember's; a white, short-sleeved un-buttoned blazer over a purple t-shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes. He made his way downstairs and into the kitchen, where Ember was sitting at the table.

"Hurry up with breakfast, we're running low on time."

"You know there is a word called "please"." Spike nonetheless complied and made her a sandwich and poured cereal for him. He set the plate and the bowl on the table, they both ate their breakfast as fast as they could since they were pressed for time. Once they finished they went to the living room so they could leave.

"Come on, if we're late again; then we'll Miss Cheerilee will give us both detention." she told him grabbing him by the arm and exiting through the door.

"Could you at least not pull my arm?" Spike complained. As they walked, they had time to make small talk.

"So, any plans today?" she asked him.

"Not really." he answered. "Hey, is your dad gonna run late again?"

"Yes he is...again." she sighed. "All he does is work work work, sure he's able to make time for us, but I'm worried that he's stressing himself too much."

"Torch is just doing all that he can to support for us." he reasoned.

"I know, it's just he's been that way since forever, especially after we took you in, after you're parents..." she cut herself off and saw Spike look down with a forlorn look, Ember immediately regretted her comment. "Oh man, Spike I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay, let's just go to school." he said

"Are you sure?" she asked concerned.

"Yeah." he plainly answered. The rest of the walk was silent, Spike didn't feel like conversing any further. 'Still hard to believe it's been 5 years now.' he thought to himself. Yes it's been a tough road for Spike Drake; shortly after his parents' deaths, Spike had nowhere else to turn to. There wasn't any other relative who could take him in and he refused to go to a foster home, luckily Torch; Ember's father who also happened to be a good friend to the Drake family offered to take Spike in. Since then he and his daughter did all the best they could to help him. Even though he somewhat moved on from their deaths, a part of him still greatly miss them. After a few minutes they arrived at their school: Canterlot Academy. On its campus, were multiple students having just arrived as well, Spike and Ember walked casually by, though other students noticed them; though specifically it was the female students who noticed Spike.

"Hey there Spike!" one girl senior called out.

"Looking good, cutie." winked one well-endowed girl.

"The girls and I are going to karaoke later, wanna come with?" a group asked him.

Spike was blushing a little from the attention, while Ember rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Jeez, when will they quit?" she grumbled. Yes, when it comes to women, Spike has a way with them, he has that childlike innocence and cute aura that make ladies-especially ones a bit older-completely fawn over him. Female students-his grade or upper- would try and get him to go out on a few dates with one or more of them, the female faculty act as a mother hen or mama bear to him, heck some may actually find him attractive.

"I'm sure they're just being nice." he reasoned.

"Right." she scoffed.

Before they could continue, a brown-haired boy with buck teeth approached him, hanging around his neck was a picture camera.

"Hey Spike, hey Ember." he greeted.

"Featherweight, good to see ya." Spike greeted back, exchanging a fist bump with him.

"You guys got here just in time; any sooner and you two would've been late." he told him.

"Would've gotten here sooner if someone wasn't such a heavy sleeper." Ember remarked.

"Alright I get it, it's a hassle to get me to wake up. In my defense I didn't set my alarm clock last night." he said.

"Whatever, lets just go to class." Ember said as the three of them walked. As he walked, Spike felt like he was being watched and looked back at the campus, there was a teenage girl about a few grades above him, she had violet hair with purple and pink streaks, because of the big crowd, Spike couldn't make out who it was, before he could get a clear view, she just disappeared. She looked at him for a moment before walking off, Spike couldn't help but feel something, but decided to dwell on it later.

The school day went by as ordinary as it can be. Spike went to his class, ate lunch, spent PE outside, and now it was the end of the day.

"Alright class, remember study for your quiz Friday; if you need any any help to review feel free to stay after school." The teacher, Ms. Cheerilee, a busty adult woman told her class. The students were packing up their belongings as they prepared to go home. Spike was sitting at his desk putting a few notebooks into his backpack, Ember and Featherweight were standing near him.

"So I hear Diamond Tiara is having a party tonight. You guys in?" Featherweight asked them.

"Oh please, if I know that pompous brat it'll be exclusively invite only." Ember said bitterly.

"Translation: only people who are as rich as her or at the very least okay by her standards can go." Spike explained.

"Maybe she might make an exception for you Spike." Featherweight said.

"What makes you say that?" asked Spike.

"Oh come on man. Practically everyone in school likes you; especially the ladies and you're a freshman.." Featherweight said.

"Again with that?" Spike groaned.

"Dude, don't even play the whole oblivious act, even you have to admit it. Ember back me up here." Featherweight said.

"As much as I hate to admit it, he's does have a point Spike." Ember admitted.

"Really? You too?" he asked exasperated. "Look I don't think I'm up for a party tonight; maybe next time."

"Whatever you say." They were cut off as they heard 2 yells of terror coming from the halls. The 3 of them looked out and saw 2 boys; one a short pudgy guy with orange hair, running alongside him was a taller skinny boy with turquoise hair. They were being chased by angry looking girls wearing sports clothes.

"Ugh, Snips and Snails." Ember said in disgust.

"Looks those two got caught peeping into the girls' locker room. Again." Featherweight chuckled. "This has gotta be like the fifth time it's happened."

"I counted tenth." Spike commented.

"Hopefully they'll get a more severe punishment this time, crossing my fingers for them being suspended for the entire school year." said Ember.

"That would make them expelled." Spike pointed out.

"If only."

"Come on Ember, they're just guys being guys." Featherweight reasoned.

"Guys being guys I can handle; guys being perverted pigs is another story." she grumbled

"That's kinda the same thing." Ember's intense glare shut Featherweight up.

"Let's just go home already." Ember said the three got up but were interrupted by their teacher.

"Spike, could you stay for a bit?" Cheerilee asked. "I want to talk to you."

"Yeah okay." he answered, he turned to his friends. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up." After they left, Spike went over to Cheerilee's desk and took a seat. "Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing serious I assure you, I just wanna talk."

"About..."

"Well how've you been doing lately?"

"Nothing to complain so far." he shrugged.

"Good, it's just if you ever want to talk about anything at all, my door is always open. Not just me but every other faculty member here." she told as she placed her hand over his.

Spike realized why she wanted to see him. Like Torch, Cheerilee along with most of the school faculty were also friends with his parents, they've also tried their hand in offering support to him.

"Thanks, but I'm okay really." he assured her, retracting his hand back. "I should probably get going." He got up and left, leaving Cheerilee alone she sat there for a bit before taking her hand that was over Spike's and smelled it, causing her to sigh.

"No! No Cheerilee, don't lose it." she told herself, she was ashamed that she has such habits. 'Oh if only he wasn't so cute.'

Spike was walking down a sidewalk by himself, after today he needed to clear his head a bit; he texted Ember that he was going to the park. Luckily at this time the park was vacant so there weren't that much people there. Spike as alone, he laid on the grass looking up at the sky in thought.

'Five years. Hard to believe it's been that long; mom, dad, if you guys were here you'd probably tell me that I shouldn't think about it too much, that I shouldn't dwell on the depressing things in my life and yet I still do.' he thought sadly. Little did he know he wasn't as alone as he thought, deep in the woods, he was being watched by an unknown creature; it let out a deep growl that did not go unnoticed by Spike.

He was startled by the noise and immediately got up, he looked at the trees where he heard it.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" he called out. Hearing another growl, Spike wondered what it was; it sure didn't sound like any animal he's heard of before, curiosity getting the better of him, he decided to check it out and find the source. Spike ventured into the woods alone, he looked around but saw that there was nothing to be seen. 'Maybe it was just my imagination.' he thought. He then heard some rustling, he looked at a cave where the noise was coming from. "Hello?" he asked. For what seemed like forever, nothing happened; until suddenly an orange blur knocked him to the ground hard.

"Augh!" he grunted. Rubbing his arm a bit he looked up at the source and his sites widened in shock.

The creature had the head and body of a lion but was like 3x bigger it had huge bat-like wings and a scorpion tail. It growled dangerously at Spike.

"What the!?" he said exclaimed in pure shock. He recognized this thing, it was a mythological creature he's seen in some fantasy movies or books. A manticore be recalled. The beast was moving to him, snarling ferociously showing its sharp teeth. "S-Stay back!" he said, the manticore didn't listen as he lunged at Spike, yelling in fright Spike ran as fast as he could, the manticore took flight and chased after him.

Spike put all his energy into his legs so that he could get to safety. Looking back he saw the manticore was flying after him; it shot spines from its tail at him luckily he was out of range so they didn't hit him, he was glad too because he saw the grass and trees that they hit whither away into nothing.

"This isn't happening! This isn't happening!" he repeated frantically. He hid behind a rock, the manticore landed and sniffed around. "Last night I ate nachos before bed, yeah that's right that must be it. I'm dreaming, just gotta wake up." he started pinching himself, but nothing changed. The manticore jumped over the rock and was now facing him. "Come on Come on! Wake up!" he told himself. The best lunged at him, Spike closed his eyes waiting for the end, but he didn't feel the monster ripping him apart. Opening one eye, he saw that he beast was completely still surrounded by a purple aura. "Huh?" he asked.

The beast was thrown by an invisible force to nearby trees, as it groggily stood up, it saw its attacker. She was wearing the female version of Spike's school uniform, had purple kneesocks on, was very well endowed sporting E-cup breasts, had purple eyes and, her violet hair with purple and pink streaks is what made Spike recognize her.

'The girl from before.' he thought. As he got a better view of her, he also knew her name 'Twilight Sparkle.'

She was one of his classmates from school, Twilight Sparkle was one of the top star students; he sometimes catch glimpses of her but never really interacts with her. Needless to say, he was surprised by her sudden appearance more so by not only did she just levitated a mythical monster, but she had a unicorn horn, pony ears and wings! She flew over to him.

"Are you alright?" she asked, helping Spike up.

"Wha-? you- that thing." he stuttered. The beast roared at the two of them, seeing this Twilight stood in front of him.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you won't get hurt." she assured him. Her eyes glowing, she sent a blast of violet energy at it. The impact sent the beast back. All Spike could do was stand in shock.

'What the heck is going on!?' he shouted in his mind.

Twilight flew to the beast and continued to hold him back, with her blasts; but the manticore was tougher than she thought. It backhanded her into the ground, she was about to get up, but the beast pinned her to the ground. Seeing this, Spike grew worried, the girl who just saved his life was about to meet a grim end and he was helpless.

'What do I do? I can't save her just like how...how I couldn't save my parents.' Then he felt something inside, he didn't want another person to die just to save him; he felt an urge a need to save Twilight, for a brief moment his eyes turned into slits.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" he yelled, letting out a torrent of green flames from his mouth. The fire hit the manticore directly. Twilight got up and looked at Spike in shock.

'So it's true, he really is the one.' she thought in amazement.

The manticore was badly burned and decided to switch to its main target. He flew towards Spike with a roar. Giving his own roar, Spike jumped and punched him with mighty force. The strike was enough to put the manticore down for the count. Panting heavily Spike got on his knees and passed out on the ground. Twilight walked over to the beast, used her magic to open a swirling portal and levitated the beast into it sending it back to where it came from. She then went to Spike's aid, and carried him up gently. She pulled out her phone and called one of her contacts.

"Rarity, it's me tell the princess that she was right, we've found him." she told her friend, while gazing at Spike.

Explanations

All Spike could see was darkness, he could feel his body aching in pain for bit before it started to go away suddenly; his mind was racing, the last thing he could remember was being pursued by an actual manticore. It would have finished him if it weren't for the timely intervention of Twilight Sparkle. What really struck him was that she had magic powers along with purple wings, a horn, and pony ears. That didn't even amount to when he actually breathed fire. His thoughts were cut off as he began to come too

Stirring in his sleep, he reached out to turn on his lamp, then his hand placed itself on something very soft. He assume it was either his pillow or his bed, but this felt different; it was way more softer, from what he could tell it was round and actually felt like flesh. He slowly opened his eyes to see that he was in his room.

"I'm in my room?" he asked confused. 'Was it all just a dream?'

He looked to where his hand was, and the source caused his eyes to widen. His appendage was on an actual breast! Not only that but his entire head was being held close to a big chest. He looked up and saw that it was none other than Twilight Sparkle, she was wearing only her bra and her panties.

'Holy Crap!' He thought completely shocked.

Spike definitely didn't see this coming, first he remembers being attack by a monster, now one of the most beautiful girls from his school is in his room, half-naked and gelding him close to her buxom.

'H-How did this happen!? Then again her boob does feels really goo-no bad Spike! Mom raised you better than that!'

Twilight was sleeping comfortably before she began too wake up.

"Hmm morning already?"' she asked as she rubbed her eyes a bit. She then took notice of the position she and Spike were in. "Oh Spike, I see you're awake. Did you sleep well?" she asked nonchalantly.

"What's going on!? How did-Why are you here, in my room?" he asked frantically breaking contact with her.

As he got off the bed he noticed that he was left only with his boxers on him. This caused him to worry if something might have happened.

"Oh god! Twilight, we didn't-"

"Calm down Spike; I know how this looks but I assure you nothing happened last night." she told him.

"Oh good, 'cause Ember would kill me if we did. Not that uh I'm not disappointed-I mean it did feel good-but um I was just caught off guard is what I should have said." he stammer nervously.

Giggling Twilight got up from the bed too, she stood in front of him showing that she was taller than him, Spike saw that he could only reach up to her breasts.

"You're so cute." she cooed as she kelt down a little and kissed him on the forehead causing his face to go red. "As for the reason why I was like that it was too heal you from your encounter with the beast." she stated.

"Beast?" he repeated. The events of yesterday flashed in his mind. Before he could say anything he heard Ember's voice.

"Spike are you up yet?" she called from outside his room, he could hear her footsteps coming closer

"Ember!" he cried. "Oh no oh no! This is bad, quick find somewhere to hide." he told her until he saw that she was gone all of a sudden. The door opened up, revealing Ember dressed for school.

"Now is not a time to sleep in we gotta go-" she paused as she gazed at Spike in his boxers. They stated at each other in an awkward silence before Spike broke it.

"Uh, hey Ember." he said nervously.

Ember blinked a couple of times before finding her voice.

"Y-You're awake...and you're half naked." she said.

"Hey yeah, I should probably change." Spike said, rubbing his head.

"Of course, I'll just wait downstairs." she said as she closed the door, Spike could've sworn he saw a blush on her face.

Once seeing that she was gone, he let out a sigh of relief; turning back he recoiled in shock as he saw that Twilight was back still wearing her bra and panties.

"Woah, where did you com from?" he asked surprised." Also, where did you go?"

"I just cast a camouflage spell, that's all." she said as if it was a normal topic to talk about. "See?" her eyes glowed purple before she suddenly disappeared and then reappeared. Spike could only look in shock.

"Camouflage? Wait, so what happened back then with that manticore; it was...real?" he asked.

"I know it may seem impossible, but yes it really did happen." she confirmed.

"You also had like pony ears, a horn and wings. You can also do magic" he recalled.

"Anything else?"

"Something happened to me..." Spike closed his eyes as he remembered. "The thing had you pinned to the ground, then I did something, I..." The image of him breathing fire and punching the manticore flashed in his mind making him gasp. "I breathed fire." he whispered, he looked at his hands. "What am I?" he said.

Seeing that he was in a little turmoil, Twilight went over to hug him in a comforting manner, Spike once again blushed at being so close to her big bust.

"I know this a lot to take in, but don't worry; after school today I'll send for you to see me. I'll explain everything." she told him while rubbing his hair.

"If you say so." Seeing that he was okay, she broke the hug. "By the way we're you the one who bought me home?"

"Yes."

"You know I don't remember the manticore hurting me."

"It didn't but you were a bit weakened from using that much fire. In order to completely heal you, I had to connect your skin with my own." she explained.

"Huh that explains why we're both half-naked. But why did you stay overnight?"

"Well I was a little tired from using the spell. So I figured I slept in your room, you make a great hug pillow." she said making him blush.

"Could you maybe go now, I gotta change."

"Of course, see you at school." In a flash of purple light she was gone.

'Man, just what is going on?'

Spike quickly got dressed and ate breakfast, and he was walking to school with Ember. In his mind he still can't get over what happened the other day along with this morning. He wondered exactly is the answer to all of this, Twilight said that she would send someone to take him to get, then she'll explain things. Hopefully it won't be too complicated.

"Is something wrong Spike?" Ember asked noticing his thoughtful look.

"Huh? Oh uh nothing."

"You know the other day you came home without me or my dad noticing." she said.

"Really?" Twilight must've teleported themselves in.

"Yeah, what happened?"

"Nothing, nothing happened I was just tired." he said, he didn't want Ember to know, even if she did believe him there's no telling how she'll react.

The two of them arrived at school shortly, Spike looked around to see if Twilight was around but saw that she was nowhere in sight. Featherweight was at the entrance waiting for them.

"Guys did you hear?" he asked them.

"Hear what?" Ember responded.

"Some guy who was camping out in the forest claimed to have gotten a pic of some weird creature." he said.

"A creature." Spike repeated, someone must've been nearby.

"Yeah check it out." Featherweight took out his phone and showed them a blurry picture of an unidentifiable animal.

"Looks like it could be a lion or something." Ember said.

"Lions don't live near here." Featherweight pointed out.

"Maybe it's just a fake picture." Spike dismissed.

"Really? Look at it, looks way too real."

"We should talk about this later guys, the bell's almost about to ring."

The trio of friends quickly went to Miss Cheerilee's. Spike thought it would be best if his friends had no idea about what happened or that one of their classmates was a magical girl and that he could breathe fire.

Class went on as it normally would; Cherilee went on with her lesson, they studied for a bit, the usual stuff they go through. At the end of the day, Spike was walking through the halls with his friends.

"I heard that Snips and Snails were given 3 weeks of detention, along with cleaning the boys bathroom." said Featherweight.

"Ouch." Spike winced, he knew how disgusting the boys room can be.

"I guess that's good enough." Ember grumbled. They were interrupted by the commotion of male students in the hallway, they looked and saw that they were looking at a female student that basically screamed gorgeous.

She had slender hourglass figure, had long purple hair, and beautiful blue eyes, her rack size was also quite noticeable being bigger than most the female students present, it was size of a G-Cup, plus she was a bit taller too. Spike knew her as Rarity, another popular girl in the school, she's known for designing the best dresses as fashion happens to be her strongest suit, along with her lady-line behavior, this caused many boys to fall for her, as she passed by the boy students couldn't help stare. Spike noticed that she was making her way to him.

"Hello, would you happen to be Spike Drake?" she asked politely.

"Uh yeah." he answered a little nervous.

"Splendid, come with me Twilight is expecting you." she said.

"Twilight?" he repeated. She did say that she would send someone to fetch him. "Okay then, lead the way Rarity."

Rarity took him by the hand and walked off, leaving Featherweightsnd Ember dumbfounded.

"Seriously!? How does he do it?" Featherweight asked incredulously.

"Wonder what's this about." Ember said with a sneaky suspicion. Meanwhile the other boys were outraged by this.

"Why does she wanna see him!?"

"Did she not notice my muscles!?"

"What does that little twerp have that we don't!?"

Spike and Rarity were walking together hand in hand, she was guiding him to where Twilight told her to take him, they were mostly silent during the way there until he broke the silence.

"So uh are you and Twilight friends?" he asked.

"Indeed darling, in fact the two of us including four others happen to be the closest of friends, they'll also be joining us."

"Must be important."

"It most certainly is, considering the fact that you were pursued by a manticore yesterday."'she said all of a sudden.

Spike looked at her in surprise utterly speechless. "You know?" he asked.

"I also assume you've seen her with special talents."

He nodded.

"Well darling, Twilight isn't the only one." she said as get eyes glowed blue.

Now Spike was gaping at her not and not just because of her beauty.

"I take it she told you about me breathing fire?" he asked, though he had a hunch that Twilight did so.

"Indeed." she nodded.

"Yeah, to be honest I'm not sure why."

"Don't worry dear, Twilight along with myself and the others will give you the answers you seek."

"Others?"

"You'll see." she answered cryptically.

Rarity and Spike made it to their destination, she opened the door which revealed a club room with fancy looking decor and furniture. There were six chairs formed into a circle at the center, Spike was curious as what kind of club this so of be.

"Twilight will be with you shortly, she must still be changing in the back." said Rarity.

"Alright, wait changing?"

"Why yes, this room also includes a shower."

"Oh." he responded with wide eyes. 'A shower, huh hopefully I won't walk in on her or something.' Spike noticed that Rarity was looking at him with lidded eyes.

"Uh, is something wrong?" he asked. His answer was Rarity placing both her hands on his cheeks, and then hugged him close to her chest.

"Ooh! You're so adorable!" she squealed, she nuzzled her chin to his hair, Spoke was blushing from the close contact he had with her ample chest.

"Rarity, you're kinda suffocating me a little bit." he muffled.

"Sorry darling but I can't help it, the minute I saw you I had to resist the urge to pick you up and take you home with me, your cute smile, your young youthful face oh it was like you were inviting me to try!" she admitted.

"Now Rarity, that's no way to treat our guest." Twilight scolded as she walked in fully dressed.

"But he's just so cute. Besides he doesn't mind, right dear?" she asked him.

Spike was too close to her rack to properly respond.

"Rarity." Twilight said in a warning tone.

"Alright." she pouted, letting him go.

Spike had to breathe out a little. "Hey Twilight." he greeted.

"Afternoon Spike, I'm glad that you're here. I understand you must have questions."

"Yeah like a bunch of questions."

"It'll be okay, once the others arrive we'll get started." she said.

"Rarity mentioned there'll be others, who else is coming?"

"Just the rest of the club who are also best friends of mine and Rarity's." she answered. The door opened up revealing another girl.

She had long blonde hair, the end was done into a ponytail, she had green eyes, freckles on her face, was wearing a brown Stetson hat. Like the other females in the room she too had an ample bust size, though hers seemed to be a littlle more noticeable for it was an H-cup, she was also noticeably taller only by an inch or so. She had a friendly smile on her face.

"Hey y'all." she greeted in a southern accent, the cowgirl took notice of Spike. "So, I take it this is the boy ya told me about Twi?"

"He's the one." Twilight said.

Applejack walked over to Spike, he was a little nervous. "Nice to meet ya, I'm Applejack." she greeted holding out her hand.

"I'm Spike." he said shaking her hand. He's heard of her, she moved from the country some time ago. She's known for helping out around the school whenever it's necessary which means all the time. Applejack then ruffled his hair.

"Ya should've told me he was gosh darn cute." she said.

"I know right?" Rarity gushed. The door opened revealing a fourth girl.

"She had big poofy pink hair, light blue eyes, and was about Twilight's height, her rack size was also on par with each of the girls' own, it being an F-Cup, she was also smiling brightly.

"Hi girls!" she said cheerfully. Once she saw Spike she jumped to him with a squeal andhugging him. "Aah! Is this the boy you mentioned? You didn't say he was so cute!"

"He's the one." Twilight chuckled.

"It's so nice to meet you, I'm Pinkie Pie, you're new best friend!" she exclaimed nuzzling into heir cheeks together. Pinkie Pie, from what he's heard she's the go to girl for planning a party, he also heard rumors that she even has some kind of party cannon.

"Nice too meet you too I guess." he said a little surprised by the sudden affection.

"Okay, I think that's enough Pinkie." Twilight told her. Pinkie complied and let go of him; the door opened again and another girl entered.

She was a shy looking one, she had long pale pink hair, cyan eyes. Her rack size was also well endowed like the others, the size of it was an E-Cup.

"Sorry I'm late everybody. I was too busy feeding the duc-"'she cut herself off as she looked at Spike. "Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed, she didn't waste time in going over to him. "Is he the boy you told me about, he's so cute!" she squealed holding his face with her hands.

"That's what I said!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Spike." he answered blushing.

"Hi Spike I'm Fluttershy." she greeted. If he remembered correctly Fluttersht is like a big time animal lover, she's also very kind when she wants to be, her most key feature was how timid she can be hence her name; what was happening right now didn't support it.

"Okay everyone just give Spike some space." Twilight said. Another door opened and now a sixth girl entered.

One thing to take note of was her hair was like a rainbow, she also had scarlet eyes. She had an athletic build and her bust size like the girls, were also big and perky it was a solid E-Cup.

"''Sup guys, so what's the occasion?" she then saw Spike. "Who's the kid?" she asked.

"This is Spike, he's the boy I informed you of." Twilight said.

"Him." she said skeptically. "You sure."

"I know he doesn't look like much but trust me on this."

"Whatever you say." she shrugged. "Nice to meet you kid, call me Rainbow Dash." she greeted holding her fist up.

"Hey." he greeted back fist-bumping her. Rainbow Dash, she's known for being the school's number one top athlete. Soccer, Basketball, Football, you name it, there's no sport she doesn't excel at.

"Still not so sure, I mean come on girls look at him, he's too cute to take down a manticore." Rainbow told the others.

"You say that like its a bad thing." said Rarity.

"Oh no it's not that it's just I just can't picture it."

"Hold up a second." Spike interrupted. "Twilight told me that I'd get answers about what happened. What I wanna know is how a manticore exists, how Twilight can do magic and why I breathed fire at said manticore."

"You breathe fire?" Rainbow asked a little surprised.

"Yeah."

"Wow that's actually pretty cool."

"Can you show us?" Pinkie asked excitedly.

"Getting off topic." he said annoyed.

"That's enough girls, Spike makes a good point after what happened to him yesterday, he deserves an explanation." Twilight told everyone. "Now Spike it might take a while to explain, so first we'll show you, ready girls?" she asked her friends. They all nodded knowingly.

The six of them them stood together and closed their eyes, different colored auras surrounded each of them. Twilight's was magenta, Rarity was purple, Applejack was orange, Pinkie was blue, Rainbow was red, and Fluttershy was Pink. They were all enveloped in a bright white light that made Spike shield his eyes, once the light died down he saw that they all transformed. Applejack and Pinkie Pie had pony ears like everyone else, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy grew wings , Rarity had a unicorn horn, and Twilight looked the same as he saw her before. A horn, wings and pony ears; they also had medallions around their nicks each with a different pendant. For Twilight it looked like a magenta star, Rarity had a purple diamond, Applejack an orange fruit, Pinkie had a blue balloon, Rainbow's was a red lightning bolt, and Flittershy's looked like a pink butterfly.

Spike could only say one word.

"Woah."

"I know, pretty awesome." Rainbow smirked.

"So you all have superpowers?" he asked.

"Not superpower, magic." Twilight corrected.

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. Also we have someone else joining us, she's better suited to give a proper explanation." Twilight said as a white portal appeared. He could see the silhouettes of two tall female figured once she exited from the portal he could see them clearly. They were both adult females, one had flowing multicolored hair of purple, green, blue, and purple. Her height surpassed all of the other girls, the one next to her was slightly shorter had dark waving hair; they carried around them authoritive yet caring auras. Their rack sizes were also very huge, the multicolored haired woman's being K-Cup and the other's were J-Cup as big as and like Twilight she also had wings and a horn. Twilight and the others immediately bowed upon their entrance, Spike however knew who they were.

"Principal Celestia? Vice-Principle Luna?" he asked surprised. Indeed the two of them were indeed the principals of his school.

"Hello Spike." Celestia greeted kindly.

"We trust you are well." said Luna.

"Um, yeah I'm okay. Will you two explain just what is going on?" he asked. "I mean if you want to." he added not wanting to sound disrespectful.

"We understand that yesterday you were attacked by a manticore?" Luna asked.

Spike nodded.

"That creature came from another world parallel to Earth." Celestia said.

"You mean like another dimension?"

"In a manner speaking." Luna answered. "You see child, myself along with my sister and Twilight Sparkle hail from this world."

"Really?" Spike looked at Twilight.

"It's true." she nodded.

"You see Spike." Celestia continued. "The world we come from is known as Equestria. It is a land that is filled with magic and wonder; the creatures that dwell there are what the humans here on Earth think of as myth and legend. When it comes you our species; we are ponies."

"Ponies?"

"To put it more specifically though we are humanoid we have characteristics akin to ponies, we ponies are separated into three categories: there are the unicorns who use their horns to use magic, the pegasi who soar through the sky with their wings and can manipulate the weather, and the earth ponies though they can't fly or have any magic they do posess great strength and agility." Celestia explained.

"Hmm I see, wait but what about you, your sister and Twilight? You three have wings and horns." she pointed out.

"We three are known as alicorns." Luna responded. "Alicorns are a rare type of pony, the three of us along with two others are the only known alicorns, we have the qualities of unicorn, pegasus, and earth ponies only we have more power in fact my sister and I have ruled over Equestria for quite some time as its princesses."

"You're royalty?" he gaped.

"Yes."

"Hold on you said that you three are from Equestria. What about the rest of you?" he asked the others. "How do you fit into all this?"

"Well Spike, myself and the others are indeed from Earth." Rarity said

"Then how come you can transform?"

"I can answer that." Twilight said. "You see I was once Celestia's pupil, when she told me about Earth she sent me here months earlier to search for 5 individuals, that's when I met the girls you see we each are the bearers of the Elements Of Harmony." she said gesturing to her necklace. "They are artifacts of great power, I can use mine because I'm gifted in magic which is my element, which is the same with them. Rarity gives and is okay with getting nothing in return, making her element Generosity. Applejack never lies and always tells the truth; the element of Honesty. Pinkie Pie always finds a way to make people smile; the element of Laughter. Rainbow Dash is always there for her friends; the element of Loyalty. Finally Fluttershy is always willing to take care of helpless animals; the element of Kindness. Basically were like the physical representations of the Elements which allowed them to also transform."

"Okay, I got most of that but here's something that's really been bothering me, that manticore thing seemed to really be interested in killing me, I mean I don't know if it was instinct but it really seemed like it was after me. Not only that but I actually breathed fire." Spike told them.

"We know, Twilight told us." Celestia said. "Then it is as we suspected."

"What do you mean?"

"Listen Spike, in Equestria there exists creatures of immense power, they're strength knows no bounds coupled with their ferocity. They have walked Equestria for centuries; the dragons."

"Dragons? You mean those big fire breathing lizards?"

"They're more than just that, dragons have more power and magic that is on par to even alicorns." Luna said.

"Thousands of years ago there existed a dragon that ruled over all the others, he was wise, powerful and was known as the most legendary dragon all who attempted to destroy or usurp him only succeeded in facing his wrath. His name was the Dragon Emperor, Bahamut."

"Bahamut was one of the first dragons to exist in ancient times." Luna continued. "However despite his great power he wasn't invincible for the time did came for him to pass on."

"Interesting, but what does it have to do with me?" Spike asked.

"It has everything to do with you." Celestia told him. "Before his death, Bahamut did leave behind a legacy; his offspring. He had many children in his time, who in turn gave birth to their own one such dragon was able to cross over to Earth, he met a human woman and fell in love. Together they started a family, the Drake family."

"What?" he gaped. That was his last name!

"Spike I know this will come as a huge shock, but you are the last known descendant of the Dragon Emperor Bahamut. In short you are half dragon." Celestia stated.

At that revelation, Spike was utterly speechless. Though now that he thought about it, it would explain how he was able to breathe fire, also back when his parents were still alive he'd often why they didn't visit any relatives, his dad always changed the subject.

After a moment's silence, Spike found his voice.

"Is-Is that it why it went after me?"

"Yes I believe so, fortunately Twilight was able to save you good thing too." Celestia said

"What do you mean?"

"The truth is we've been searching for you for some time. Listen Spike there by dark forces at work. Even though it is a world of sanctuary, even it has those with sinister intentions, in fact if my suspicions are right they sent the manticore after you."

"But why?"

"Dragons are very powerful magical beings, it stands to reason that they see you as a threat, which is why I ask you this: fight with us." Celestia told him.

"Pardon?"

"These dark forces are not only a threat to Equestria but to earth as well, Twilight and her friends do all they can to combat them; but every day our enemies continue to grow stronger I know I'm asking a lot out of you and I understand if you refuse but the fate of countless lives are at stake. In your blood, lay more than just breathing fire, with training we can help you unlock your potential."

"But how? I'm not sure if it can happen again."

"Take my hand." she said.

Spike did so, Celestia's eyes glowed white the same with her horn, Spike then began to feel something inside it was as if something was caged up but is now free. His eyes turned into slits once again, and green fire formed around him to the girls shock, they would've intervened but Luna told them not to. Once flames were extinguished he now had a whole different appearance; he now has dragon wings sprouting from his back, his hair was a little longer, he now had claws along with sharp dragon fangs, green spikes were sticking out of his back and his new spaded tail. Spike looked himself.

"Woah! Check me out!" he exclaimed.

"Not bad." Rainbow said impressed.

"Wow!" Pinkie exclaimed in awe.

"What did you do?" he asked Celestia.

"I helped you unlock some part of your power, it will take time for you to fully awaken your abilities but now you have enough so that you can better defend yourself." she explained. "Now that you are better prepared I ask you again, will you join us?"

Spike thought for a bit, what they all told him really put things in perspective; it wasn't too long ago that he was living a normal life now it turns out he's part dragon and is given a chance to not just defend one but two worlds. Then he remembered that his parents would always say that they believed that he was meant for great things, maybe they knew about all this but never got the chance to tell him. He finally gave his answers.

"Count me in." he said with determination. This caused everyone to smile.

"Welcome aboard Spike." Applejack said putting her hand on his shoulder.

"It's gonna be a pleasure working together." Rarity said.

"Need any pointers, you know where to find me." Rainbow told him.

"We're gonna get along great." Fluttershy said smiling.

"This calls for a "Welcome To The Team" party!" Pinkie put her arms up.

"Knew you'd make the right choice." Twilight said.

"So when do we start training?" he asked.

"First thing tomorrow." she responded.

Spike knew things wouldn't be the same ever again, but that didn't matter, he was now a dragon fighter, who will do all that he can to defend Earth and Equestria.

Training Day

On a sunny Saturday morning, Spike and Ember were in their house watching some television in the living room. Instead of school uniforms they were wearing normal clothes, Spike was wearing a purple hoodie over a green t-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers, Ember had a short sleeved blue shirt on and baby blue shorts. Though Spike wasn't paying attention to the TV, his mind was on the recent new development in his life.

Hard to believe that just yesterday he learned that not only are six of his classmates including his principals magical pony girls, but that he himself has dragon blood coursing through his veins because apparently he's the descendant of a dragon emperor. From what Principal or rather Princess Celestia told him, he'll have to train in order to control his new abilities. A part of him wondered what kind of training he might have to endure.

"Is something wrong Spike?" Ember asked snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine." he said.

Ember didn't look convinced. "Are you sure? You've been dozing off ever since yesterday."' she then looked suspicious. "Did that Rarity girl try anything?"

"No, she just wanted to talk. That's all." he simply answered.

"Really?" she said critically.

"Seriously Ember, nothing special happened-" Spike was cut off by the sound of the doorbell. "I'll get it." he said getting up to answer the door. 'Saved by the bell.' As he opened the door, he was tackled to the floor by a pink blur.

"Hi!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"Pinkie!?" he asked in shock and blushing from the close contact with her chest, Pinkie too was dressed normally, she had on a pink and white striped shirt and pink pants..

"Hey there Spike!" Pinkie said as she hugged him.

"What's going on?" Ember asked. "Who's at the do-" she saw the position they were in. "What is going on!?"

"Ember, uh this Pinkie Pie. Pinkie this is my friend Ember." he introduced.

"Nice to meet you!" she greeted.

Ember paused for a moment. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh right I forgot, Spike Twilight needs you." Pinkie told him.

"For what?"

"You know." she said.

"Spike thought for a moment. "Oh, right. Listen Ember I uh gotta go with her."

"Why?"

"I promised I'd hang with her."

"Oh, well okay."

"See ya, I'll be back later." he told her as he and Pinkie left the house.

Ember was confused for a moment before simply shrugging and went batt to watching TV.

"You know there's a thing called texting or giving me a heads up before barging in my house ." Spike told her.

"Sorry." Pinkie giggled. "But don't tell me you didn't like it."

"Like what?"

"You know." she grasped his head and pulled him close. "Didn't my rack make you excited?" she asked.

"Pinkie we're in public!" he shouted though it did feel nice.

She let him go. "Anyway, Twilight wanted me to get you immediately."

"Is it an emergency?" he asked.

"Nope. Training."

"Training?" he repeated. "So soon?"

"Since you're gonna be fighting monsters with us, you need to learn how to control your powers. So that's why we're gonna whip you into shape." she explained.

"Alright then. So where are we gonna train?"

"We're already here." she said, Spike saw that they were at a track field. Looking ahead he saw the other girls.

Twilight was wearing a plain short sleeved purple shirt that showed and a violet skirt.

Applejack was wearing an orange plaid shirt that was tied up at the bottom showing her abdomen, she wore blue skinny jeans, and as always her Stetson hat.

Rarity was wearing a white blouse and sapphire skirt red heels.

Rainbow Dash had a dark blue jack over a white t-shirt with a rainbow lightning bolt, black hot pants and black fingerless gloves.

Fluttershy had on a green dress, and yellow kneesocks.

Twilight noticed them. "Spike glad you could make it."

"Is this where we'll be training?" he asked.

"Pretty much. " Applejack nodded. "We've been going here when no one else is around."

"But what if someone stops by?"

"Don't worry darling." Rarity assured. "Twilight placed a magical barrier over the area, no one will be able to see us."

"Now then Spike lets get started." Twilight said.

With that Spike's training began.

"Okay pal, first off were gonna see how good you can fly. Grow your wings." Rainbow instructed.

Spike focused and his dragon wings sprouted from his back with a trail of green fire, Rainbow along with Fluttershy also grew their feathered wings.

"Now take off!" she exclaimed, taking to the sky before them.

"She doesn't waste time does she?" he observed.

"You'll get used to it." Fluttershy told him as they both flew after her.

Spike stumbled a little bit as this was the first time he used wings since ever, Rainbow was flying expertly perform impressive tricks while Fluttershy was flying at a steady pace.

Fluttershy looked to him. "Are you doing okay Spike?"

"Gotta say, it might be a while before I get used to this."

"I know how you feel, when I first started out I had trouble too."

"Not me." Rainbow boasted. "Yep when I first started flying there was no trouble at all." she smugly claimed.

"Really?" he said raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, guess things like this come naturally. Especially to me."

Spike thought of an idea. "Okay then if that's true then...try to catch me!" he said flying away from them.

"Hold up Spike." Fluttershy yelled.

"Hmph challenge accepted." Rainbow said chasing after him.

Spike was flying as fast as he could, looking behind he saw Rainbow was catching up to him, he did a few turns and loops to throw her off but despite that she was quickly catching up.

'Looks like I gotta step it up a little.' he thought.

It was obvious that Rainbow Dash was gifted with flying as she said, and her speed was also something Spike needed to think of something unconventional. He started rising high up in the air with her following suit.

"What's he up to?" she asked herself.

When he was high enough Spike caught her by surprise and withdrew his wings allowing him to free-fall.

"Whoo!" he shouted as he fell to the ground.

"Spike!" Fluttershy exclaimed. Rainbow would've swooped in to save him but Spike grew his wings back just as he was about an inch close to the ground.

"How you like that?" he smirked.

"Dude, that was....AWESOME!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Spike, that was reckless and dangerous." Fluttershy admonished as she held him close making him blush. "You could've gotten hurt, I couldn't bare to see an adorable boy like you be injured."

"You kidding Fluttershy? That was pretty a slick move, I honestly thought I couldn't get to him in time 'til he pulled one last trick." Rainbow complimented. "You and I are gonna get along just fine, big guy." she chuckled slinging her arm over his shoulder pulling him close to her chest.

"Th-Thanks." he blushed.

"Play your cards right, you'll feel more if this." she whispered flirtatiously.

Twilight then appeared to them in a purple flash. "Not bad Spike, you seem to have flying down, though I don't approve of that stunt you pulled, good job nevertheless. Now land and train with Applejack and Pinkie Pie."

Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Spike were out in the forest.

"Okay, Spike, we'll be seein' how tough ya are." Applejack siad. "Dragons are known for having a lot of strength, same with earth ponies. Let me show ya." she lifted up a nearby boulder easily and threw it to a far distance until t impacted on the ground, shattering it into little pieces.

"Woah." he breathed.

"Now you try sugarcube."

Spike lifted a boulder with ease and then chucked it way out of there, it was thrown so far it quickly looked a dog to them before it was out of sight.

Applejack let out a whistle. "Whoo-ee! Yer stronger than ya look."

"Can barely see it anymore." Spike observed.

"Wonder where it'll land." Pinkie wondered.

A blonde teenager was showing off his new car to a few female classmates, they were fawning all over it. He had snobbish look on his face.

"Wow Nice car, Blueblood!"

"Love the color."

"Oh yes, my auntie has a lot of money in her bank account, since I'm her nephew I use it to purchase this-" he was cut off by a boulder impacting on the car.

"Noooooooo!"

"I'm sure it won't cause too much damage." Spike confidently stated.

"My turn!" Pinkie enthusiastically said, she did a huge jump to a tree. "Try to keep up! Pinkie jumped from tree to tree that would make professional gymnasts jealous. Applejack followed suit.

Spike followed her lead, he was flowing her as fast as he could; he slipped in n few branches but was getting the hang of it. Pinkie and AJ were moving at inhuman agility and was very ahead of him, he did one leap but jumped too high.

"Woah!" he yelled. He would've landed onto a tree hard until he disappeared in a puff of green fire and re-appeared right in front of Applejack making her bump into him and Pinkie who was in front turned around and was also impacted.

"Ugh!" all three of them grunted, they stumbled onto the ground.

"Uhh." Applejack groaned. "Y'all alright?"

"I'm peachy." Pinkie answered. "What about you Spike?" Silence. "Spike?" she asked again, looking down both of them saw that Spike was in between their breasts.

"Mffm!" he muffled.

"Oh there ya are." Applejack said. "Guess we should get off eh Pinkie?"

"You could, but I think he likes it this way." Pinkie smirked teasingly.

"Come on look at him, poor boy's havin' trouble breathin'." Applejack got off of of Spike allowing him to breath, he said as also red in the face.

"Huh huh." he breathed.

"Sorry about that Spike."

"It's alright." he said. "Was kinda on me." He tried getting up but was held back by Pinkie's arms. "Um Pinkie, you can let go now."

"Five more minutes."

"Pinkie." Spike and Applejack groaned.

She reluctantly let go of the boy. "Alright fine."

"How did ya just appeared right in front of me Spike?" Applejack asked him.

"I don't know." he answered. "One minute I nearly crashed into a tree the next I'm in front of you."

Applejack rubbed her chin in thought. "Hey Spike, try imagining yerself on that branch." she gestured to the high up branch.

"Uh okay." he closed his eyes and pictured himself on that branch, right before the girls' eyes he disappeared in a puff of fire and was now on the branch.

"Woah!" he exclaimed in shock. "I can teleport?" He teleported back to them.

"Oooooh." Pinkie marveled.

"I am liking this more and more." he said as he teleported to them.

"Yer doin' great so far, for a youngin'." Applejack observed.

Twilight appeared. "Hmm, teleportation; in that case lets get to training with myself along with Rarity."

Now he was training with Twilight Sparkle and Rarity, with them he'll be learning how to use magic.

"Okay Spike, his will be the final part of your training." Twilight informed. "Dragons possess magic based in one specific element, from what we've seen you seem to be potent in fire magic."

"That would explain the fire breath." he remarked.

"Unicorns along with Alicorns use magic for telekinesis, teleportation, energy blasts, and to cast spells." Rarity chimed. She grew her heron and gestured her hand to a bush. "Observe." Her eyes glowing blue her horn was surrounded by a blue aura the same with her hand, the bush was enveloped the same glow and was lifted from the ground, then she cast a transmutation spell which changed it into a rock.

"Wow, not bad Rarity." he complimented.

"Why thank you darling." she replied.

"Now let's see what you can do.' Twilight said.

Spike focused for a moment, then he saw that his arm was coated in green flames, surprisingly it didn't hurt.

"Cool." he said. For a moment it stayed that way until a long fire whip extended from Spike's palm.

"Impressive" Rarity admitted.

"See how damaging it is." Twilight instructed.

He looked to the huge rock Rarity created, and attacked it with his whip, the rock was cut to pieces.

"Very good Spike.' Twilight complimented.

"You're coming along quite nicely dear." Rarity said, she suddenly wrapped her arms around Spike and held his head to her breasts. "Hard to believe an adorable creature like yourself can cause such damage." she cooed pinching his cheek.

"Uh w-well...uh.." he stammered.

"Aw what's the matter dear?" she asked. " Does me holding you like this make you nervous?" she teased.

"Rarity that's enough." Twilight said sternly. "You're embarrassing him."

"Don't be ridiculous darling." Rarity told her. "Besides little Spike here doesn't mind. Isn't that right?" she asked him.

"Twi has a point Rarity." he said blushing furiously.

"You mean you don't like it?" she said with puppy eyes and a lip quiver.

'Aw man those eyes!' he thought. "It's no that it-' his enhanced sense of smell caught wind of something. "Get down!" he shoved Rarity to the ground just to avoid an arrow made of some weird energy that was meant for her.

"What the?" Twilight asked in shock. The three of them looked to where it came from and saw a shadowy figure on a tree with a bow.

"Sneaky little devil." Spike snarled. "Rarity, you okay?" he asked helping her up.

"I am, thanks to you my little hero." she replied giving him a hug.

Twilight fired a magical blast to the assailant, but he easily dodged the incoming purple beam; he jumped from the branch and landed on the ground where they saw what it looked like. It was humanoid but was made of dark blue energy and had a demonic look on its face.

The others quickly arrived. "We heard the commotion." Rainbow said. "What's goin-" she saw the creature. "Woah, what is that thing?"

"Was about you the same thing." Spike said. "Haven't you six have been fighting mythical creatures since way before I came along?"

"Never seen somethin' like this before." Applejack replied.

"Doesn't matter." Rainbow proclaimed. "There's only one of it and seven of us."

Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash was wrong in that assumption, soon their mysterious new enemy was joined by reinforcements. They emerged from small dark portals and now there was an entire army of these dark beings, each of them had their own weapons; their arsenal included swords, spears, bows, and many others.

"Ya just had ta say it." Applejack said in annoyance.

"Girls! Spike! Get ready!" Twilight ordered, she and the others quickly transformed into their pony and dragon forms. "Attack!" she exclaimed, the Elements Of Harmony and the Dragon halfbreed begun their fight with the army.

Spike sent fire blasts from his hands at one squad, disintegrating them; one was about strike him from behind with its sword but he caught in his hands.

"Nice try." he smirked. With his strength he broke the sword and unleashed his fire breath on it, leaving no remains. "Guess all that training is starting to pay off."

Up above Rainbow Dash was in a dogfight with two of the dark beings who can apparently grow wings. One tried firing an arrow at her which she easily dodged.

"Hah! Missed me losers!" she taunted, using her weather controlling abilities she fired a lightning blast at them. "This is too easy." she smugly claimed.

Fluttershy was also dealing with a couple of them in the sky, one had a mace in hand and would've struck her had she not summoned a cloud witch attacked with a thunder strike.

"Sorry about that." she apologized, it's a known fact that she doesn't like violence.

On the ground Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie were fighting the ground forces, Rarity used telekinesis to carry two of them away, Applejack lifted a chunk of the ground up.

"Take this ya varmints!" she yelled as the country gal threw it at them with all her strength, the projectile knocked a few of them back.

Archers were taking aim at Pinkie, once they fired she dodged the arrows with ease; she somersaulted behind one and kicked it away.

"Na na na na na! You can't hit me!" she taunted, then rasberried at them. "Pfftt!" A shadow loomed over her and saw a huge looking one with a huge hammer. "Eep!" she squeaked. Thankfully before it could bring the hammer down, Spike teleported behind it and punched a hole through its stomach. It let out a scream as it disappeared.

"Never hurt my friends." he stated.

"You called me "friend"! Yay?" Pinkie cheered hugging him.

With Twilight, she was surrounded by a horde of them, to an average girl this would incite fear; bad news for them, Twilight Sparkle was anything but average.

"Wanna know what happens when you mess with an Alicorn?" she asked threateningly. The horse rushed to attack her, her eyes glowing brightly she fired multiple shots to them destroying them. "That."

Despite their best efforts there seemed to be no end to this battle, every time they took multiple beings out, more take their place, the Elements used every battle tactic they had but we're now surrounded by many of them.

"They just keep coming!" Rainbow yelled firing thunder waves.

"At this rate we'll be too exhausted to keep going." Rarity said putting up a shield.

"Then we just gotta make every hit count." Applejack said punching a few away.

"There has to be a way to finish this." Twilight panted, she was sweating from this fight.

Spike was taking down as many of these dark beings the best he could, he used his strength and fire powers to incinerate and smash all of them. He use his fire whip to slash them alone by with his claws, he saw that his friends were being surrounded and the chances of them winning seemed pretty bleak, gritting his teeth Spike continues his attacks.

"We have to end this now!" he growled. He closed his eyes as felt something happening, he then folded his arms across his chest; just then green spikes sprouted from his arms legs, tail, and back. Letting out a roar Spike fired all the spikes from his body. "Raghhh!" They fired off like missles and struck each of the beings, exploding on impact. Soon enough they were all destroyed.

The girls could only look on in shock and amazement.

"Incredible." Twilight whispered.

Spike was panting heavily from using such a powerful attack. "That...takes...care...of...it." he breathed. He withdrew his transformation and collapsed on one knee.

"Spike!" Fluttershy exclaimed in a worried tone, she ran to him and helped him up. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." he replied tiredly. "What about you? Are you girls alright?"

"We are>" Fluttershy smiled. "Thanks to you."

"Spike!" rarity shouted, she give him a big hug. "Oh, you were simply magnificent! You saved us all!" she swooned.

"Ah it was nothing." he sheepishly said.

"It was somethin' sugar." Applejack countered.

"We would've been completely totaled if you didn't fire those Spikes!" Pinkie exclaimed. "They hit them hard and went Boom, Pwah!" she yelled making exploding sounds.

"You did excellent Spike." Twilight said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Not bad your first fight kid." Rainbow admitted ruffling his hair.

"Well I have your training to thank." he pointed out. "What were those things anyway?"

"To be honest, I have no idea." Twilight said. " I should report this to Princess Celestia."

"Later Twi, because now lets celebrate!" Pinkie cheerfully exclaimed. "Treats are on me."

"I guess a break is in order." Twilight said.

"What are waiting for? Let's go." Spike siad, with that they went off to Sugarcube Corner.

I might just get used to this new role.' Spike thought.

Generous Fashionista

The Golden Oaks Mall is the most popular hangout for nearly everyone in the city, children and adults of all ages frequently visit. Here there are food courts, a movie theater, and various stores for buying clothes; bottom line if you need a break from school, work and such then this is absolutely the place to go. For one green haired little boy who had just recently found out that he had magical dragon powers, it's the place to go after you fight off a horde of dark energy-like shadow beings with your new friends who also happen to be magical pony girls.

Ember was out running errands for her dad who in turn was also busy with his job, and Featherweight was on an assignment for the School Newspaper along with a few co-workers from class, so he decided to take a breather after that fight. He really needed it, fighting fiendish magical creatures can really take a lot out of you though, which when you think about it, was kinda obvious.

About two days have passed since then and Spike is still thinking about it, it's kinda hard not to since it's something he's still getting used to. He was currently in the food court sitting down at a table, he wondered what exactly were those things; not even the girls knew and they've been at this while fighting monsters thing a lot longer than him. After that fight he and the girls immediately went to the princess sisters to see if they knew anything which was just yesterday. He remembered clearly what they told them.

A day ago....

Spike and the Mane 6 were in their club room at school after hours with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna present with them. They had just informed the Royal sisters of what had transpired the other day with their mysterious enemies.

"I see, so you were attacked by these "dark beings" as you call them." Celestia surmised rubbing her chin on thought.

Twilight nodded. "Yes Princess. We are hoping if either of you would know what they were." she said. "The girls and I have never encountered them before since we started."

Princess Celestia sent a brief glance to Princess Luna, her sister had a troubled and a little haunted look on her face which went unnoticed by the girls except for the only boy present in the room.

After a moment Celestia spoke. "My sister and I have our suspicions at the moment, but at this point we can't be sure of anything at least not yet. Until then it's best if you seven should head home; get some rest and relaxation." She told her students, they obliged but Spike lingered.

"Hey Spike, you coming?" Pinkie asked him.

"You all go ahead, I'll catch up." he answered. Shrugging, she did so.

"Hey Princess Luna, are you alright?" he asked seeing that the princess of the night still looked troubled.

"W-What?" Luna stumbled in surprise before composing herself. "I'm fine young dragon boy, why do you ask?

"You look as if something's wrong." he answered.

"You don't have to worry child." she assured. "I'm perfectly fine."

Spike was unsure but decided to take her word for it. "If you say so."

"Speaking of being alright how are you doing Spike?" Celestia asked. "Twilight informed me of how you disposed of your assailants she described that afterward you were somewhat exhausted. I'm sorry that your training had to escalate into a fight."

"Don't worry about it." he dismissed. "Had to happen eventually. Well I'll see you later." he waved walking out the door.

"Goodbye." Luna waved back.

'I might be going on a limb but Luna might now something about those creeps that attacked us.' he though as he drank his smoothie. 'Still not sure if its right for me to act on it guess I'll just wait and see what happens.' Spike finished his drink and threw it in a nearby trash can with ease.

At the moment Spike was kinda bored, he almost wished another magical threat would present itself so that he and the good could deal with it. Alas, so far the day has been quiet he hoped something would happen soon.

"Spike? Darling is that you?" a familiar voice asked.

The boy in question turned and saw that it was Rarity.

"Oh hey Rarity." he greeted.

"I thought it was you I saw nearby, what brings you here?" she asked.

He simply shrugged. "Just thought I could use some downtime you know after well you know." he replied being sure not to give any specific details in case someone was listening.

Rarity nodded understandingly. "Oh I know exactly what you mean darling, every time the girls and I get into a scuffle I would either go here or to the spa. Since it's closed for the day I figured going here would be best."

"Got ya." Spike said, that makes sense.

"But enough about me dear, tell me do you have any other plans later?" she asked.

"Not really." he answered honestly.

"Well in that case why not come with me, I was about to do a little shopping and I wouldn't mind if you would accompany me." she offered.

"Really?" he asked surprised. "I don't know, I wouldn't want to intrude."

"Oh pish posh dear." Rarity dismissed. "I don't mind any company especially if it's a friend besides... " she sat beside Spike in an extra chair and put her hands around Spike's arm and placed them very close to her bust. "...it would be nice if we spend time together wouldn't it?" she asked in an alluringly tone, batting her eyelashes and gave him the bedroom eyes.

Spike's face was as red as an apple or tomato. "Um I-If you insist." he said nervously.

"Splendid!" she cheered. Rarity pulled him out his seat and dragged him away by his arm. "Come now Spike, no time to dilly dally." The two of them went off for the oncoming shopping spree.

Rarity and Spike went from store to store buying an assortment of clothing mostly for Rarity, Spike was doing most of the heavy lifting though not to seem inconsiderate she decided to lift half of the bags. Right now they were in what they counted as the fifth store they've been. The fashionable girl was surveying through the clothes to see what would match her the best.

"Hmm. A sapphire dress...oh definitely not, that is so last November. Ooh, this scarf looks nice but I saw a few girls from school with the same one, oh my but this white blouse looks cute." she observed. "Tell me Spike what do you think would look absolutely great on me?"

"I really wouldn't know." he replied. "Was never really one for fashion. Besides I'm sure you'll look good with anything you wear, everyone else in school thinks so."

"Oh you're such a charmer Spike." she gushed hugging him close to her chest. "If I didn't know any better if say that you were hitting on me. You little naughty boy." she chuckled pinching his cheek.

"N-No I wasnt!" he exclaimed in a panicked tone, blushing red at the close feeling of her breasts.

"Aw, you mean you don't think I'm pretty?" she asked in mock hurt she even put in some fake tears to make it more convincing. "Oh you're so mean!"

"Of course I do!" he said quickly. "Imean who wouldn't? You're one of the prettiest girls in school."

"I see, so you were hitting on me?" she smirked.

"No-Um Yes, but I wasn't trying to hit on you but let's say if I could I definitely would've but only if that's what you want." he stammered. "Is it?"

Rarity giggled. "Oh it's alright Spike, I'm only teasing and just so you know I wouldn't really kid at all mind if you did." she winked.

Spike looked surprised. "Uh that was you teasing again, right?" he asked warily.

"Maybe." she said coyly. She then thought of something. "You know precious, it's kind of unfair that I'm the only one buying new clothing. I know, you can pick out new clothes of your own and I'll pay for it all."

"You will?" he asked genuinely surprised.

"Of course." she told him.

"You don't have to, I'm sure I have enough to pay for myself." he said.

"Tut tut tut." she stopped him. "I won't hear another word about it."

Seeing that she was adamant, he conceded. "Alright if that's what you want."

"Don't worry darling, there's nothing I wouldn't do for my dear friends." she said.

Spike was pretty surprised how generous the fashionable girl was, normally girls like her would be spoiled, conceited, and pompous brats but she's actually pretty alright, emphasis on pretty. That was something he really admired about her, among other obvious things. He searched through the various different clothing in the men's aisle to see what would work for him, it took about five minutes but he was able to find the right stuff to wear.

"All right got my clothes, you wanna go and change first Rarity?" he asked her.

"You go ahead dear, I'm dying to see how you will look." she replied.

"Okay then." Spike entered into the men's changing room. After a few minutes Spike exited and Rarity marveled at his new appearance. He was wearing a dark green leather jacket over a buttoned white shirt, dark blue cargo pants and crimson red sneakers.

"Well how do I look?" he asked a little nervous.

"You look fabulous!" she exclaimed. She proceeded to hug him very tightly and putting his face very very close to her bust. "Those clothes look amazing in you. Oh my little Spikey-Wikey!" she gushed.

'Spikey-Wikey?' he though a little embarrassed at the her new pet name for him.

"Um you should probably go next like right now, people are starting to stare." he told her.

"Very well." she said though a little disappointed. Unlike Spike, she took a little bit longer time to get dressed. "Hm no that's not right, oh how about this?" he could her her say.

"Rarity, are you done yet?" he asked kinda bored. "Changing into new clothes never lasts this long you know."

"Patience Spike." she replied from behind the door. "A lady needs time to find the suitable clothes that fit with her identity."

After one more minute, Spike asked again. "Now?"

"Indeed." she answered. The unicorn girl exited from the room. "Well darling, tell me what do you think?"

What Spike saw made his eyes go wide like saucers. Before him was Rarity dressed in a black tube top, exposing a lot of cleavage and her midriff and had and hip hugging shorts, she was posing like a super model.

"Wow, you look...just wow, you just might look good in anything." he said like a drone.

Rarity giggled. "Thank you darling. I must say this does look absolutely beautiful on me." she said crossing her arms under her breasts making them bounce a bit causing him to blush. "Anyway, I say it's time to pay for these."

"What?" he asked. "I mean yeah sure." replied rather quickly.

After paying for their clothes Spike and Rarity left the store and found an ice cream stand.

Spike could always go for some ice cream. "What do you say Rarity, up for some ice cream?" he asked.

"Of course darling." she answered.

"But this time I'm the one who'lll be paying paying." he stated. "I think I'll have some mint chip, what about you?"

"The same as well." she replied. After paying for the ice cream the two of them sat at a fountain licking their delicious treats.

"Mmm." Spike moaned. "Man, tell ya there is something about mint chip that makes it so tasty." he smiled.

"I completely agree." Rarity said.

"Since we're here, I've been meaning to ask how exactly did you get involved in all this magical thing?" he asked. "I mean before now you were always the popular yet generous clothes living girl, what happened?"

Rarity had a look of nostalgia. "It was some time ago Spike..."

Months Earlier...

'Before I met Twilight I was as normal as any other young woman, I would normally design dresses for events like school dances or fashion shows and such. I didn't do it for the money or so that I can show off my creative dresses but I saw how much those who asked wanted them and who was I to say "no"? Yes it was all for the sake of being generous. Little did I know that's is what drew Twilight to seek me out'"

"I'll be honest when she explained her origin and that I was supposed to represent a magical element, I was completely skeptical. But who wouldn't be? I would've called her out on it being a sick joke until... '

"Ahh!" Rarity screamed. Before her and Twiligjt was a bugbear, a four armed creature with the physique of a bear and the wings and thorax of a bee. It growled dangerously.

"Rarity get back!" Twilight ordered. She powered up in her pony form ready to fight.

At this point Rarity was hyperventilating. "This can't be happening. This can't be happening." she panted.

"Look I already told you about this." Twilight told her. "Stay out of sight and you'll be okay I promise. Rarity was reluctant but did so. With her hiding, Twilight could now focus on the monster. She sent a magical blast that knocked him away but wasn't able to take him down for the count. The bugbear vomited honey from its mouth hoping to trap the alicorn girl which it did.

Rarity was hiding behind a tree and had fearful look on her face, this girl was trying to save her but she could do nothing, if she's supposed to represent generosity then now is the time to prove it. She closed her eyes hoping to find a way to save Twilight to pay her back.

She was then enveloped in a purple flash, which got Twilight's attention.

Once the light died down, Rarity now had a unicorn horn and was glowing with a purple aura around her neck was a medallion with a purple diamond. The bugbear was confused but then angered and charged at her. Rarity eyes glowed blue and focused her magic, the rock ground around her rose up and she turned it into hard diamonds which she threw them at it. The multiple diamonds were enough to bring it down.

Back with Twilight, she was able to break free and created a portal which sucked the bugbear in, she turned her focus back to Rarity.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

"Fine darling, just a little winded." Rarity replied.

"So, do you believe me now?"

"After what just occurred, I would have to say yes."

"I know this is a lot to take in, but I really do need your help." Twilight pleaded. "The fate of two worlds is at stake. This is your chance to be part of something big."

Rarity contemplated for a moment, this was a huge turning point in her life, but despite that she knew the risks and gave Twilight a smile. "I would be delighted."

"And so the rest is history." Rarity finished. At this point, both she and Rarity have left the mall and were walking through the parking lot.

"Wow, never knew you packed a punch." Spike admitted.

"What can I say darling? I'm more than just a pretty face." she remarked. "Well here's my car, do you need a ride?"

"Nah its cool, I always walk home." Spike replied. "Thanks for paying for my clothes." he said holding the bag.

"Think nothing of it dear." she dismissed. "Oh but one more thing." she bent down a little and gave him a longing kiss on the cheek. Once she pulled back, she left a purple lipstick mark.

"Uh..." Spike was speechless.

"Till we see each other again my little Spikey-Wikey." she cooed, she went in her car and drove off.

Spike watched her go and rubbed the cheek the kissed, he smiled bashfully.

Loyal Athlete

"So you gotta run some errands for your dad?" Spike asked. He was currently talking on the phone with Ember, presently he was walking down the sidewalk in the city. There was very little to do for today; nothing good was on television, he didn't feel like playing video games at least until later, and Ember had a few jobs tasked by her father who as always was running late. He decided to take a little walk into town.

"Yeah, he said that it was important." Ember's voice said from the other line. "Sorta like all the other times and of course he didn't say why." she grumbled that last part.

"Well alright, bye." he said putting away his phone. As he walked he stopped at the sight of the image of a very cool looking skateboard behind a window. "Woah, nice board." he said, he always did have a knack for skateboarding.

His thoughts were cut off by the sounds of a roaring engine, looking to where it was coming from, Spike saw a motorcycle in the distance and seemed to be on its way to where he was. Once it stopped just next to him he marveled at it, it was a customized Kawasaki Ninja ZX 1, most of the color was light blue and had rainbow highlights running through it. The rider was female and had clothing that he recognized. She took off her helmet and she was revealed to be Rainbow Dash.

"'Sup Spike?" she greeted flashing him a peace sign.

"Rainbow Dash. Hey." he greeted back. "Awesome ride." he complimented admiring the bike.

"Thanks buddy." she replied rubbing her motorcycle. "Customized this baby along with my dad back when I was a kid, waited 'til I got my licence to finally ride it."

"Cool. So what are yo up to?" he asked.

Rainbow shrugged. "Nothing much, though I'd take it out for a spin." she replied. "What about you?

"Kinda the same thing." he told her. "Not really sure what to do today."

"Really." Hmm. Rainbow then though of an idea "Here, catch." she tossed him an extra helmet.

"Wait, what?" he asked catching it.

The multicolored haired athlete started up her ride and put her helmet on. "Hop in kid, for today you'll be riding with me. I'm gonna take you to my usual hangouts." she told him.

"Really?' he asked surprised. "Are you sure?"

"You bet ya. Also, as an added bonus, you'll get to spend most of the day with none other then me, I mean who would say no to that?" she smugly asked rhetorically.

"Well um okay." he said as out on the helmet and got on the cool motorcycle behind Rainbow Dash.

"You might wanna hold on tight.' she told him. "This baby's can go on for miles!"

"I beg you pard-ONNNN!" he yelped as Rainbow kicked it into overdrive and took off at high speed a few people were coughing from the dust left behind.

"Whoo-hoo!" Rainbow whooped while Spike was holding onto her very tightly.

"Maybe you should slow down!" he advised.

"Slow down?" she repeated as if those words don't exist. "Sorry kid, but those words aren't really in my vocabulary!" she said as she continued to ride off.

After about 10 minutes, they both arrived at Rainbow's intended location, the motorcycle skidded a little bit before stopping at the parking lot. Once she took off her helmet, Rainbow Dash had a content smile on her face.

"Ahh, now that was awesome!" she proclaimed. "Right Spike?" when she got no answer she looked back at her bike. "Yo Spike, you good?"

The young boy looked like he just got out of bed and was very dizzy as he stumbled in his steps.

"Oh man, feels like I just went through rush hour." he commented. "Twice."

"Come on dude, it wasn't that bad." she said.

"Are you kidding?" he looked at her incredulously. "I'm surprised we weren't pulled over."

"Hah!" she chuckled. "Trust me that wasn't first time I've sped up an none was able to catch me." she smiled fondly at all the memories of speeding away without getting one speeding ticket.

"Somehow, I believe you." he said with a nervous look. "Still it was very unpleasant."

"Oh please." she scoffed. "I know you enjoyed it." she claimed with confidence.

"In what way could I have possibly enjoyed it?"

Rainbow gave him a look that made him uneasy. It was a flirtatious look, the same one Rarity and other girls from school would give him, she wrapped an arm around him and pushed him to her chest immediately making him blush.

"Don't be shy kiddo, I could feel you holding on very tight." she told him, ruffling his hair. "Wanted to cop a feel huh?" she said, pushing him deeper into her bust.

"I-I only did that so that I wouldn't fall off." he said nervously.

"Come on, don't hide it." she playfully teased. "Admit it squirt, you liked it didn't you?"

"Wha-What? Uh no! No!" he protested. "Let's just move on, okay?"

"Whatever."

He then looked to where they stopped at. "The gym?" he questioned surprised, looking at the building, he didn't expect to spend the rest of the day here. "I thought it's closed on Sundays?" he recalled.

"It is." she nodded. "Here's the thing, I'm pretty tight with the son of the owner here, whenever I wanna exercise alone, I ask him to ask his pop to let me be here." she explained.

"And he said yes?" he asked.

"Pretty much." she nodded. The multi-colored haired athlete gestured him to follow her into the building. "I also happen to be a well respected and loyal member of this gym, been going here with my old man ever since I was little. Hey, you ever did any fun stuff with your dad?" she asked, changing the subject.

Spike shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah. Yeah we did..." the mere mention of his father or his mother would make him freeze up, go completely silent and stiff. He did do fun stuff with his dad, stuff that he will never get the chance to do ever again...

"Spike?" Rainbow asked, snapping him out of it. "You alright? You froze up on me." she said, looking a little concerned.

"Hm? Oh uh, I'm fine, um, so are we going or what?"

"Yeah, sure."

The two of them walked into the gymnasium where a huge teenage boy stood at the counter with a whit t-shirt and blazk pants. He was muscular, like very muscular, you would think that he didn't go to school, bit he does, his hair was blonde and had red eyes.

"Hey, Bulk Biceps." Rainbow greeted. "Everything good?"

"YEAH!" Bulk Biceps replied very loudly, startling Spike.

Rainbow gestured to Spike. "This is my buddy, Spike. Dude, meet Bulk Biceps, the manager's son."

"Um, nice to meet you." Spike held his hand up for a handshake.

Bulk took his hand and shook it with extreme force. "Nice to meet you too little buddy!" Here to try out the gym with Rainbow Dash?" he questioned, letting go of the poor kid's hand. Once they let go, Spike had to rub his hand a bit to ease the slight pain. Miraculously, it immediately healed, must be a dragon thing.

"Yes." Spike replied.

"We'll go right in!" Bulk told them. "Take as much time as want in there!"

"Cool, later." Rainbow said.

"YEAH!" Bulk exclaimed.

Spike and Rainbow passed by him and went in. "He seems a bit over-exited." he remarked.

Rainbow chuckled. "You have no idea." They made their way to the locker rooms. "I'm gonna head in and change you wait out here." she told him. Spike waited for about a few minutes or more until she was finished. "Alright, let's get working." she declared, once he looked at her new clothes, he slightly blushed.

Her workout outfit was a short-sleeved white shirt and blue shorts, only they tightly covered her curves and bust, making her very distracting. Those little shorts exposed her sweet well toned legs, being on pratically every sports team in school was doing wonders for her, she had her hands on her hips which made her more attractive.

"Woah." Spike breathed. "Nice workout gear."

Rainbow smiled, with a tint of red on her cheeks. "Thanks bud. Now come on, I'll show you the ropes." Spike followed her to two 30 ton dumbbells. "Okay, lift these up, do about 20 or more." she told him. Though a little hesitant, Spike did so with ease, much to his surprise.

"Huh, these things seem way lighter than they look." he remarked.

"Yeah." she nodded approvingly. "That new dragon strength is doing wonders, isn't it?"

"I'll say." the young green haired boy lifted the heavyweights going to pass 20 and up to 30. After that he put them down. "Alright, got that out of the way, now what?" he asked.

"Now. We keep going until you bleed..." she whispered in a semi-threading tone but then perked up. "Just kidding!" she laughed. "Try and keep up kid."

"Why do I have such a bad feeling about this?" Spike asked mostly to himself.

The next hours were filled with trying to keep up with who he has to say was the most driven athlete he's ever known, as you can imagine it was a challenge. For starters, going at the same speed with her at the treadmill; which was very fast is easier said than done, he had enough sweat to fill a whole bucket; on the plus side he got to see her breasts bounce a little...which he reprimanded himself for doing.

Next was the leg extension machine, then there was the preacher bench, weight benches, etc. Pretty much any exercise equipment they could find in the gym. After so much time they were done, which Spike was so glad because even though he wasn't bleeding, he certainly felt like it. He'll have to ask her how she's able to stomach all that exercise.

"Nice workout!" Rainbow complimented enthusiastically. "Well Spike, what did you think?"

"I think I need to take P.E. class more seriously from now on." Spike remarked, rubbing his back a little to ease the strain. "Besides that, it was okay. Will that be all?"

Rainbow laughed as they went to the exit. "Not even close. Later Bulk, see you in school."

"YEAH!" Bulk replied.

The two of them exited for the gym and went back to the parking lot, to find Rainbow's motorcycle and head off to the next place.

"You know I have to say, it's pretty amazing that you're able to go through all that and not break a single sweat. So, props to you for that." he told her.

"Thanks." Rainbow replied. "But if I gotta be honest, it wasn't easy at first. You might find it hard to believe but when I was little, about 3 I think, I wasn't always like that. But, I had the potential for it so one day me and my pop went tot he gym, I wanted tog o a few more times and well I became the awesome athlete you see today."

"I can believe that." he smiled.

"Yeah, one day I hope I'm good enough to make it to Wonderbolt status." she said.

"Wonderbolts." Spike repeated, thoughtfully. "Aren't they that famous pro sports team?" he inquired.

"That's them." she nodded. "For as long as I can remember all I've wanted was a shot to show them and everybody else that I'm good enough to join them. To join Spitfire, Soarin', Fleetfott, etc."

"You're aiming pretty high." he remarked.

"That's the point."

Spike then saw something up ahead that immediately concerned him. "Um, Rainbow, I think we got some trouble."

Once they made it to the motorcycle, they saw there were a few threatening looking fellows there.

"Hey! What do you guys want?" Rainbow demanded, scowling at them.

"Hey easy Rainbow Crash." one of them said, tauntingly, he was muscular and had brown hair. "We were just watching this ugly bike." He and his buddies shared a cruel laugh.

"Watch what you're calling ugly, Hoops." Rainbow shot back.

"You know these chumps." Spike asked.

"Score, Hoops, and Dumbbell, the biggest jerks you'll ever meet." Rainbow explained.

"I'm sorry were you gonna go ride?" Hoops asked. "Well sorry, but we were thinking of doing a makeover, the color scheme isn't that appealing. Got a problem with it?"

"Woah, easy, we don't want any trouble." Spike eased, trying to defuse the situation.

"Back off, shrimp!" Score scowled.

"Hey, you can threaten me, but leave my bud alone!" Rainbow proclaimed.

"What are you gonna do? Beat us up?" Score challenged. "I'm shaking."

Rainbow simply smirked in response.

One minute later...

The three dunderheads were on the ground, groaning in pain. They were covered in bruises and their clothes were cut.

"Wow." Spike breathed after a moment's silence. "You really did a number on these guys."

"Let that be a lesson to you kid, don't mess with me."

"Noted." he replied as they got on her bike. "Hey, this time can I trust you to not go all speed demon again?" he asked meekly.

"Hate to break it to you bud, but I can't make any promises." she smirked.

"I'll take that as a no." he sighed, defeated.

"Hey come on, it's not all bad, this way you get to cop a feel." she reminded him with a teasing smile.

Spike groaned inwardly. "Will you just drop that already?" he blushed.

"Let me think about it..." Rainbow started. "Nah." Before she started the bike, she turned to him. "Hey Spike you got any hobbies of your own?

"Well, um yeah." Spike answered, not expecting that question. "I like to skateboard whoever I have the time."

"Your board at home?" she inquired.

"Yeah." he nodded. "It should still be in my room at the house."

"Then hang on!" she grinned and kicked it into overdrive and rode off, Spike screaming on the way.

At the Cinder residence, Ember was sitting on the sofa of the living room watching some television. She just came back from her errands and decided to catch up on her programs, though a part of her was wondering where her housemate was.

'Spike's been gone a while.' she thought. 'Maybe I should've made time for him.' her musing were cut short by the sound of the doorbell. Once she opened she found that it was her friend.

"Hey Ember." he greeted as he passed by.

"Spike?" she questioned.

"Sorry, but gotta get my skateboard." He went to his room and came back down with it. "I'm just going to the park with Rainbow Dash, be back soon."

"Oh, I see." she frowned a little. "Bye."

"Later." he said as he closed the door.

After getting the board, Spike and Rainbow Dash went to the park as planned. She wanted him to show a bit of his moves and needless to say, she was impressed. Spike was performing some wicked moves, he did some 360 spins, backflips, and such. For a little kid, he knew how to get some mad air, she just saw him perform one last move.

"Whoo!" she cheered, clapping. "That was awesome!"

Spike rubbed his head, bashful. "Eh, it was nothing."

"No I'm serious, you're really great."

"Thanks." he blushed a bit. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah."

"How did you get involved in the whole magic pony thing?" he asked, curious.

Rainbow shook her head nostalgically. "Now that takes me back..."

Months earlier...

'Before I got my powers, my life was pretty straightforward, back then I did all I could to win on all the sports teams I was on,. Each time someone from other schools would try to poach me to join their team but I always brushed them off.' she narrated.

'How come?'

'Dude, if there's one thing I'm good at other than sports, it's being loyal. Once I'm part of a team I have a commitment to them, you know. I couldn't just leave them, but you know I always wanted more, I wanted more excitement guess what I didn't know was that my kind of loyalty would attract others' attention this granting me my wish. See, I was the third to join the team, and let me tell you it was something I would never forget.'

"Woah!" Rainbow exclaimed. She was on her way home from a game until she got attacked by what looked like a gargoyle. It was hovering over her with predatory intent. Before it could attacked it was blasted by a purple blast. Rainbow looked and saw Twilight Sparkle and Rarity in their pony forms.

"Rainbow Dash, are you alright?" Rarity asked.

"You two?" What's going on?!" she asked.

"Listen Rainbow don't panic-" Twilight assured but was cut off.

"This is awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed with excitement shocking her.

"The gargoyle flew down and tried to attacked with its claws but Rarity shielded them with a diamond force field.

"Twilight! I can't hold this for long!"

Rainbow had no idea what was going on but a part of her wanted to show that gargoyle a lesson, then something happened she was enveloped in a blue aura then a flash make by Twilight and Raritu blond their eyes. Once the light died down Rainbow Dash now had pony ears, and wings.

"Woah." Rainbow marveled at her new appearance. "Alright let's do this!" she flew right through the field and charged at the beast. It tried to whack her but she was just too fast. She got behind it and charge a lightning ball and blasted it. "Whoo!"

"After that, they explained everything to me and I joined up just like that." she finished.

"Really?" Spike asked. "Just like that?"

"Pretty much."

Spike noticed the sun setting. "It's getting late, drive me home?"

"Sure thing."

Once they went back to Spike's house, he dismounted from the bike, board in hand.

"See you later Dash, today was fun." he said.

"Anytime Spike." Rainbow replied. "Oh before I forget." she grabbed his chin and planted a nice kiss on his cheek. Spike was completely surprised, he wouldn't expect to this from Rainbow and it felt great. She then seperated. "Until next time dragon boy." she winked, and rode off.

"What a woman." Spike breathed with wide eyes and went in his house.

Kind Animal Lover

Inside the Cynder household, Spike was inside his room, playing a video game for the fifth time, with Ember too bust studying for the next pop quiz Cheerilee told everyone about, he finished studying an hour ago and decided to kill some time with some mindless, violent, video games. He already beat the last games he had and this was the last one, within a few minutes he was able to beat it all the while getting a new high score.

"Well, I beat the games." Spike said, tossing his controller to the side. "Now what else to do?" he had very limited options, he wished Ember wasn't so busy right now, she would no doubt come up with something to do, he just laid on his bed, until...

Screech

Spike sat right up at the sound of a bird, he looked to the window sill and saw a hawk on it, near its foot was a rolled up paper. Curious, Spike took the paper from the window and saw that it was a letter adreseed to him, he rolled it up to see what contents of had.

Dear Spike,

Sorry for not having to coming to your house in person, but I didn't want to bother you in case you were super busy with something, so sorry if you are, anyway I need some help with something, so I sent Peck out to get you. It's okay if you don't want to though, I mean you probably have much better things to do, but I would really appreciate it if you can't abd hemp out, I asked the others, but they said they were all too busy, so I thought of you next. Peck knows the way so you should follow him for directions, that is if you actually accept, it's ikay if you're not, I'd understand.

Love, Fluttershy. Did that say Love?! I meant from!

"Fluttershy?" Spike questioned, he wondered what the sweet and shy girl would want with him. Deciding to see fir himself, he got off the edge and put on his shoes, he opened his closet to take out his skateboard, which had a green dragon design on it. He left his room abd made his way downstairs and went out the door.

"Hey, Ember, I'm gonna go out for a bit, don't wait up!" he called.

"Okay, Spike!" Ember called back.

The green haired youth skated around the town abd followed the hawk to ey're it came from, which if he had to guess is also where Fluttershy is, waiting for him, he made jump and grinder on a bench and did a slim before landing, he looked up and saw the hawk begin to swoop down. He descended down to a few blocks away, he landed on the sidewalk in frkmt of some kind of store, he skated over and saw that it was as an animal shelter.

"Hmm, guess this is the place." she said as he walked over and opened the door, allowing the hawk to fly in.

"Who is it?" he heard Fluttershy ask.

"It's me Fluttershy, it's Spi-" he stopped as he found get, she was on all fours putting dog biscuits on a bowl for one of the animals, and he could see her tight butt and panties, it is as so round and plump, and get shaking it a bit was great too. He blushed immediately and couldn't help but stare, but he reminded himself that he's not some perv, with a lot of willpower, he got her attention. "It's......... It's me, Spike "

Fluttershy turned around and saw that it indeed was her friend. "Oh Spike!" she smiled warmly, the shy girl got up and walked over to the young boy.

"Hey, uh I got that lett-" he was cut off once again as the big breasted girl hugged him close to her buxom.

"I've been waiting for you Spike, oh thank you for coming, I didn't think you'd actually say yes." she said sincerely, unaware that she was increasing his blood pressure and was slightly cutting off his oxygen supply. "Spike, is something wrong." she looked and panicked a s she saw him pull his head back in a seemingly catatonic state. "Oh my! Spike, are you okay?! Do you need to rest!"

"What?" he numbly asked, but was able to regain his composure. "What, no I'm alright Fluttershy, just got winded a little."

"Oh thank goodness." she breathed a sigh in relief. "It would've broken my heart if I saw you hurt." she said a she let him go. "Anyway, thanks again for coming, I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience to you."

Spike waved it off. "Don't worry about it, truth be told I had nothing better to do."

"Oh, okay then." she was glad that he wasn't too angry or annoyed, then again she could never imagine a cutie like him with a mean look.

"So, that letter you sent, do you need me for something? Also, why couldn't you just text me?" he asked, more curious for the second part mostly.

Fluttershy twiddled her fingers. "Well, I find that using ariel travel can be more useful, that and my phone is charging right now." she explained. "Anyway Spike, I called you here because I kinda need your help with something very important, that nothing else matters." she took a minute to pause. "I want you to help me with the animals!" she grasped both his shoulders and gazed at him with a serious look.

"The animals?" Spike repeated. "You mean, you need help feeding them?"

Fluttershy waved that idea off. "Oh no, I already took care of that before you got here." she told him. "Here let me show you what i mean." she went to her bag and rolled out a map of the entire town, some places had red circles around them done by the meak girl. "See these locations? Well you see, they're the usual places where I find a lot of poor, stray animals, especially this are right here, that's where I'm going today." she explained.

"Really?"

She nodded. "I know, it's horrible isn't it? You wouldn't believe how many abandoned animals I come across, it always breaks my heart whenever I see how sick they look, weeks maybe even months of being left alone in the cold streets, I sometimes get help from the other volunteers at this animal shelter but they mostly have other plans so I though of you. So what do you say, you wanna help?"

"Yeah I'm in."

"Now, I know you may be hesitant and I can totally understand that, but-" she did a double take. "Wait you'll actually help?"

"Well yeah, why wouldn't I? It would be great to help out all those animals, truth be told I've seen a few strays before and it kinda irks me that no one's done that much to help them, so yeah I'm down with lending a hand or claw." he told her with upmost conviction. "When do we start?"

Fluttershy stared at Spike in pure amazement, she's only met a few people who share the same views as her, and couldn't help but look into Spike's green eyes, then showed his kindness and caring nature and felt loss in them, those luscious eyes of his, his adorable little face and lips that she could easily...

"Fluttershy? Fluttershy!"

"Huh?" she was snapped out of her thoughts once Spike called her name.

"Aren't we gonna go now?" he asked.

"Right. Right, of course! Hahaha." she laughed nervously with an intense blush. "I was just wondering if you were ready."

"Well, I am." Spike responded.

"Good, we come on!" she went out as fast as she could, almost as fast as Rainbow.

"Wonder what got her so worked up." Spike scratched his head in slight confusion as he followed her.

The location that the duo went to was at an abandoned house that looked like no one's lived in it for 10 years, it looked as if it could give out and crumble to the ground at any minute, in the front yard was a FOR SALE sign that was covered with a lot of dust.

"Yeesh!" Spike cringed, looking at the house's poor state. "I don't think I wanna know what happened here."

Fluttershy nodded sympathetically. "It's s very sad story, an old couple used to live here for most of their lives, until they couldn't pay up their rent and were evicted, I heard that they kept a few pets but they couldn't bring them to the apartment building they moved to."

"So, they could still be here." Spike surmised.

"Yes." Fluttershy confirmed. "I've been meaning to come here for a while but.."

"But?"

She twiddled her fingers. "I'm-I'm too scared! This house looks so creepy and ominous, I couldn't possibly go on without someone going in with me! I'm sorry Spike, you must be so disappointed, I'd understand if you wouldn't want to go in."

"Hey, it's okay." Spike soothed.

"Really?" Fluttershy turned to him.

"Yeah." Spike nodded. "Truth be told, I'd be pretty nervous going on there too." he admitted. "But hey I told you I'd help out so I will."

"Wow, thank you Spike." she then started to blush. "Um hey, if it's alright with you could you maybe hold my hand?"

"Sure." he held it out for her to take it, cautiously they started their decent into the eerie house, when Spike opened the door it made a deep creaking sound as if they were walking straight into a horror movie, even the inside was as bad as outside, they both could see some cobwebs and dust bunnies passing by. The door slammed close with a loud thud making them both jump and hug each other tightly.

They seperated with heavy blushes on their cheeks and decided to look at different places. Spike we go to the kitchen and saw a lot of pans, broken pieces of plates, and chairs on the floor, the oven was covered with dust and he swore he just saw a spider crawl by. He moved to the cupboard and kneel down to open it, but found nothing, he tried using his enhanced sense of smell to see if he could sniff out any animals nearby. His nose led him to the fridge, opening it he saw a little puppy dog curled up, it looked a little dirty and it's fur was messy.

"Hey, little fella." he reached to touch but the canine recoiled in slight fear. "Hey easy there, I'm not gonna hurt ya." he carefully reached his hand to touch its fur, he gently rubbed it to show the pup that he was no threat to him whatsoever, the pup calmed down as Spike continued massaging him. "There see? I'm a friend."

He picked the dog up and carried it in his arms with the utmost care in the world, it looked like it went through a fire or something. "Spike?" he heard Fluttershy call. "Did you find anything?"

"Yeah, come over here." he called back. Fluttershy walked over to where Spike was and saw the poor little pup in his arms and gasped.

"Oh my, oh you poor little thing." she went over to take the dog into her own arms and rubbed it soothingly. "Where did you find him?" she asked Spike.

"Little guy was hiding in the fridge." he answered. "Did you find anything?" he asked.

Fluttershy shook her head in response. "Not really, this one may be the only one here." she surmised. However, the dog srambled out of her grasp and ran away. "Hey, where are you going?" Fluttershy and Spike followed it until it stopped at a basement door, barking loudly, it pointed its nose at it. "You want us to open the door?" Fluttershy asked. The dog nodded, Spike opened the door and they followed the dog down to the basement.

"Wonder what it wants us to find down hear." Spike wondered, dodging a few spider webs.

"We won't know unless it shows us." Fluttershy replied.

They made their way down to the basement, but it was too dark to see anything, Spike took out his phone and turned on the flashlight on the lens, he guided it until it shine over a switch. He pulled on it, making the light turn on all over the basement., they were greeted with the sight of even more stray animals. Cats, hamsters, dogs, birds, and other types were huddled together for comfort.

"Goodness." Fluttershy gasped, putting a hand to her mouth in pure shock, she's never seen so many lost animals in one place before. "You poor things, I didn't think there'd be so much of you."

"How are we supposed to get all these animals back to the shelter?" Spike asked, scratching his head.

"Don't worry, I came prepared." Fluttershy took out bird cages and leashes from her bag.

Spike raised an eyebrow. "You keep leashes and bird cages in your bag?"

"You'd be surprised by how many objects I have in my bag specifically for animals." Fluttershy told him.

"Okay, but I'm not sure we can handle so many of these guys fir the walk back." Spike pointed out.

Fluttershy took out her phone. "I can call a friend of mine, he owns a truck that can carry most of them, while we handle the rest."

"Oh. Okay then."

About a half an hour later, Fluttershy's friend arrived and took half of the animals, while the two of them took the remaining half to the shelter, as they walked they conversed for a bit.

"Man, I still can't believe that old run down house had so many animals without having any homes." Spike said with a sympathetic and sad tone.

Fluttershy understood that sentiment "It's truly heartbreaking isn't it? That's why I try to do everything that I can to help those animals. Not many people care about stray animals, they just shrug them off as filthy creatures, but I know better, I can understand how the animals feel."

"Really?"

"Yes." Fluttershy confirmed. "Ever since I was little, not many kids were willing to make friends with me because to them, I was a pushover, I really did try to be assertive, but it was always hard for me. I guess they don't like shy people." she sighed.

"That's not something to be embarrassed about." Spike said.

"It isn't?"

"Of course not, everyone's insecure about something." she told her. "Heck, I've been bullied a bit by some older boys before, I was luck to have Ember around to defend me. Though, now that I think about it, no girl has ever picked on me."

Fluttershy chuckled. "Well of course not. How could they hurt a cute little thing like you?" she gently stroked his face, making him blush up.

"Hey, Fluttershy, I gotta ask. How did you if all people get roped into this whole thing with fighting magical creatures?"

Fluttershy thought about that question, sometimes she would even ask herself that question, a long time ago, she would say that she'd outright refuse to participate if the circumstances were different. Now she knew a straight answer. "Well, that's bit of a long story..."

Months earlier...

'Like I told you before, I was quite reserved in school, I only ever talked to kids who were more like me, like the Eco kids. When I'm not being so shy, I mostly try to rally support for any event related to saving enough money for the shelter, or give enough support for any fundraiser other students were trying to rally themselves.'

'Wow, that's really kind of you.'

'Thanks, when I was a little girl, my parents always taught me that showing kindness is the best way to express yourself, and despite my timidity, I try to muster enough courage to show whenever possible, it's not easy, but I've gotten used to it. If I see a child who scraped his knee, I'd put a bandage on it, if someone was starving I'd share my food with him or her, when it came to sharing kindness, that was the one thing I wasn't afraid to do.'

'Perfect candidate for the Element of Kindness.'

'Twilight and the others seemed to think so. One night, they invited me over to Applejack's house, they told me everything. At first I couldn't speak, but then, well, things got a little complicated to say the least.'

'Let me guess. Monster attack?'

'Yes.'

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH" Fluttershy let out a terrified scream as a horned 4 legged creature the size of a hummer charged at them. Rarity provided defense with a blue diamond shield that pushed it back. The rest of the team ponied up, Rainbow Dash sent electric blasts at the creature, while Applejack slammed her hands together, creating a sound wave blast abd struck it. "W-W-What is happening?!" Fluttershy shrieked, hyperventilating.

Twilight put her arms on the panicked girl's shoulders. "Fluttershy, calm down, look go somewhere for cover, we'll handle this and protect you!"

Still panicking, Fluttershy complied with Twilight's order without hesitation, she went behind a tree and watched as the fight unfolded; the horned beast stomped its hoof down creating a seismic wave that made Rarity and Applejack fall over. It looked at Rainbow in the sky abd fired an energy beam from its horn at her, making her fall down. Twilight fired her own beam at the beast but it countered it, for a while both beams tried to one up the other, in the end it was the beast that looked like it was going to win, Fluttershy was frightened by this, she couldn't just stand here scared while a group of giris were willing to risk their lives for her. She prayed for something that could give her the strength to help in anyway possible, that's when she was enveloped in a pink light gaining Twilight abd the beast's shared attention. Once the light died down, it showed Fluttetshy with wings and pointy ears, with a glow of her eyes, she raised her have abd vines from the ground sprouted and they captured the beast. She approached it as it growled venomously at her, but she put an arm on its forehead, and miraculously the beast calmed down. Seeing this, Twilight summoned a portal abd the heart went away.

"After that, I find Twilight that I was on board with her proposition to join her." Fluttershy finished her tale. D

While she was telling her story, the both of them had already dropped the animals off, and we're now outside the shelter.

"Wow." Spike said in amazement. "You walked right up to a monster without even flinching? You're tougher than you let on."

Fluttershy started to blush. "Oh, I don't know about that."

"I'm serious, you're pretty brave." Spike then motioned to walk. "Should probably get home now, bye.

"Spike, hold on." Fluttershy stopped him.

"What is it?" his answer was Fluttetshy leaning down, cupping his chin, and gave a warm kiss in the cheek, it was soothing and reminded him of how his mother used to kiss him as a child. Fluttershy also liked this, it made her heart jump a bit; kissing Spike felt nice. She let go and smiled warmly at him. "Have a safe trip back.

Blushing, Spike returned the smile. "Thanks, by." he walked away and after a few minutes, made it to his house, he opened the door abd made his way up to his room, after changing into his pajamas he laid on his bed with a content sigh. He touched the place where Fluttershy kissed him abd shyly smiled as he drifted off to sleep.

Laughing Party Girl

Author's Note

If you go back to chapter 2: Explanations, you'll see that I've made some changes. For starters I actually described the bust size of the girls, and if you have objections, let may say this in advance: I imagine this whole story as a usual ecchi harem anime.

Also, the three party girls are the rave ponies from The Saddle Row Review (season 6 episode 9)

Laughing Party Girl

It was another regular day in school, Spike and his friends haven't had to deal with any other magical creature to take care of in recent days, so for the time being, they might as well go back to their somewhat normal lives, the young boy found it incredible that he was able to still go about his days as if it was before he found out that he was half-dragon. Sometimes he wondered if the girls had any trouble re-adjusting to their normal lives after gaining their powers. He lazily glanced at the clock and was tapping his foot, the little hand was just moments away from hitting at the 12.

RING!

'FInally.'

"Okay class, that's all for today." Cheerilee said as her students made their way outside the classroom, but as soon as she saw Spike, she quickly moved to call him. "Spike." she addressed, making him to turn to her. "Could you stay for a bit?"

"Okay." he shrugged, he began to put his books in his bookbag, and while he wasn't looking, Cheerilee took out a mirror and looked for any imperfections in her teeth and fixed her F-Cup breasts a little to make them stand out a little to try and get his attention. She cleared her throat as Spike walked to her desk.

"What do you need?" he asked.

"I've been hearing from some of your teachers that you've been having trouble keeping awake." she told him making him flinch, he was having some trouble with keeping himself awake during some of his classes. In some nights, he gets called by Twilight and the others for some late training to be done, that along with the extent of his new powers has made him somewhat exhausted, so he may have slept more than he needed to. "Care to explain that."

Spike rubbed the back of his hair nervously. "Yeah, I might have stayed up late a few times."

"Is there anything wrong at home?" his teacher asked, a little concerned.

"No. No, nothing bad I just tend to stay up extra later than the average person." he attempted to excuse which admittedly didn't sound like a great cover up but he's not used to lying to one of his teachers especially a sweet and kind one like Ms. Cheerilee. But he promised the girls that he would keep their secret double lives unknown to everyone else and he was gonna keep it. "Yeah, that's it."

"Really?" Cheerilee quirked an eyebrow. "But why?"

The green haired boy shrugged. "It just happens, you know? Sorry if you're a little mad about me sleeping." he apologized, twiddling his thumbs nervously.

Cheerilee grunted as she envisioned sparkles over Spike but collected herself. "I-It's alright Spike. Just try to follow a sleep schedule and I believe you won't have any more problems." she told him.

"Okay, if you say so." Spike smiled that made her treble a bit.

'That smile!'

"Well if there's nothing else you wanna talk about I'll be on my way. Se you tomorrow." he waved goodbye at the woman as he walked away from her desk. Unknown to him, Cheerielle still had her eyes on him, and she looked intently at his back view, specifically the cargo area, so to speak. She covered her mouth and nose as an intense blush came to her face. Once he was out of eyesight, she let out an exhausted breath.

"I don't believe it..." she whispered in horror. "Having such lecherous thoughts, and about one of my own students no less." the image of his butt played in her mind, only there weren't any jeans in the way. "No! Stop that Cheerilee!" she admonished herself. "Spike is too young, too innocent, to pure to be though of that way." she pointed out before putting her hand to her beating heart. "And yet...so cute!" she hugged her cheeks with hearts in her eyes.

Once Spike was outside at the school campus, he had started to walk away to the entrance to go back home. As he walked, he was taken by surprise by two hands covering both of his eyes out of the blue. "Guess who~." a hyperactive voice sang out. Spike recognized that high voice and the soft mounds laid against his shoulders which made him yelp. He removed the hands and was greeted with the sight of Pinkie Pie standing right in front of him. "Hey Spike." she cutely waved, pecking him on the nose, making him stutter.

"Pinkie?" he questioned. "How were you able to sneak up on me?" he was told by Twilight that one of his abilities included enhanced senses that make him pick up the presence of any soul that would try to sneak up on him. Well, except for one soul apparently.

"Oh I have my ways." she curled her hair with a mischievous look. The hyperactive girl then grabbed his face and smothered it into her chest. "So, how's my favorite little guy's been doing." she ruffled his hair.

"Um, pretty good. Is there something you need?" he asked after collecting himself.

Pinkie put a thoughtful finger to her chin. "Hmm, do I need something?" she asked, faking being ignorant. She hoisted her arm over Spike's head and collided it with her chest, surprising him. "That's a good question Spikey. It's so hard to decide, I might have to think long and hard on this. I could want anything but I can't seem to think of a good answer." she wrapped both harms on his head.

"Pinkie! Let go!" it took a lot of strength, but Spike was able to release himself from the pink haired girl's surprisingly strong grip on him. "Please, people might get the wrong idea if they see us like that!" he told her, looking around frantically to see if anyone was looking at them.

"I don't see what's so wrong, Spikey." she kneeled down and cuddled her cheek to his. "It's not a crime for a couple to how their love in public." she teased, planting kisses on his cheek.

"C-COUPLE?!" Spike stuttered in shock, but remembered that this could be another trick. "Will you cut it out already?!"

Pinkie laughed humorously as she dragged him off by grabbing his hand. "You're so cute, Spike. Come on, I'll help walk you home."

As much as Spike wanted to protest, he knew there was no point in trying to break free from Pinkie's tight grip, must have something to do with her earth pony enhanced strength like with Applejack. The poofed up haired girl walked the little boy all the way back to Cynder household.

"Okay Pinkie, I'll see you later." Spike waved goodbye as he started to walk into his house, but the party girl grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him to face her.

"Slow down, cutie with kissable lips." Pinkie told him.

"Wha-?"

"I'm not done with you just yet. I want to spend time with you." she told him, her hands on her hips.

"You do?" Spike raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Oh I think we both know why, you little stud?" she softly pinched his cheek. "The girls told me how you've been on dates with them. Who knew you were such a flirt?" she cooed.

"Dates? No, Pinkie, you got it all wrong." Spike tried to convince her. "I wasn't on any date with them, Applejack and Fluttershy needed my help and I just happened to run into Rarity and Rainbow Dash completely by chance." he clarified.

"But what about me?" Pinkie pointed to herself with a mock pout. "I wanna get to know you too. How else are we gonna have a functioning relationship of we don't have fun together?"

"Will you cut that out already?!" he cried, not wanting to take any more of her constant teasing. Sighing, he decided he might as well hear what she has to say. "So what did you have in mind?" he asked.

Pinkie put a finger to his mouth. "Shhh. I'm not gonna just tell you right now. I want you to wait until about 4:00 and meet me at my house and I'll show you a good time.~" she gave him lidded eyes that unnerved him. "Don't worry, I promise to be gentle with you. I know you're still new at this." she cupped both his eyes and leaned in closer. "Oh Spike, close your eyes."

"Okay! I'll se ya later Pinkie!" Spike ran into his house in a dash that would make Rainbow Dash proud.

The pink haired busty girl was left alone and chuckled. "What a cutie."

About a few hours later, the clock was nearing to strike at exactly 4 o clock, just as Pinkie Pie told him. Spike had changed into his normal clothes and was ready to leave and go to where Pinkie lives. Just about half an hour ago, his friend texted him her home address and was waiting for him to come by.

He got out of his room, but was stopped by Ember who had her arms folded and was looking at him with a suspicious look.

"Hey Spike." she greeted with a somewhat cold tone and narrowed eyes.

"Ember!" he jumped back a little from his friend's unexpected appearance. "Something wrong?"

The blue haired kept her suspicious frown and circled around Spike. "You seem ready to leave the house." she observed. "Are you going to hang with one of those club friends of yours?" Twilight and the others kept their after school meetings a secret by using the cover of being a research club for the paranormal. Spike had told her that the girls wanted to offer him an invitation to join them and he accepted.

"Well yes, actually." he answered. "Why? Is that a problem?" he raised an eyebrow.

Ember just shrugged her shoulders. "Oh no. No problem at all." her voice was dripping with venomous sarcasm that continued to confuse him. "Go ahead Spike, go and have fun with an older girl. I mean, so many have already had fun with you, why not add another to your ever growing list?" she looked away with a scowl. "It's not like some other girl you know isn't that much busy. You could have asked her, but I guess someone else will have to do. No one's stopping ya pal, go right ahead." she gestured him to leave.

The clueless green haired boy blinked and slowly made his way to the stairs. "Ooookay....I'll see you later Em." he quietly went down and exited through the front door.

Ember scoffed. "Whatever." of he had stayed a little while longer, he would have seen the faint blush on her face.

Once Spike was out of the house, he followed the directions on his phone to find the home of Pinkameena Diane Pie. Surprisingly, it wasn't as how he would have imagined, he had pictured it being filled with loud music since Pinkie is an avid party lover. He knocked on the door once and the door opened to reveal a college aged girl with F-Cup breasts. Her expression was dull and bland, her hair was long and was colored blue-violet with her eyeshadow being the same color. Her eyes were light turquoise and was wearing a long, gray frock.

She stared at the boy with a bored expression and the both of them stayed in an awkward silence until she broke it. "Are you Pinkie's friend named Spike?" she asked with an equally bland tone.

"Um. Yeah, that's me." he nodded in confirmation. "Who are you?"

"I'm Maud. Pinkie's older sister." she introduced herself then took out a small rock. "And this is my pet, Boulder." the green haired boy looked confused. "She told me and the rest of our family about you. Please come in." she allowed him to enter. "Pinkie's upstairs getting ready."

"Okay, I can wait." Spike said.

The two stood quietly as the waited patiently for their friend/sister come down and leave off with Spike. Said short boy shared a few looks with the older girl and she would stare set him for a long period of time as if she were observing him like an experiment. He coughed a little in his mouth and still waited in another round of awkward silence.

And like before, she broke it.

"You're cute." she blurted out of the blue making him turn to her.

"Excuse me?"

"You're cute." she repeated.

"...Thank you?" he replied warily.

She lifted her hand and caressed his face much to his slight surprise. "Your features are very adorable." she softly pinches his cheek. "It makes me want to hug you."

Spike didn't know what to say, so he forced a fit of laughter. "Ahahahahah...." he nervously chuckled with sweat going down his face. "That's a...that's a good one. You must do stand-up comedy or something."

"No. Well actually, yes I do." she admitted. "But I do think you're cute Spike. I hope you don't mind me asking you this, but are you seeing someone right now?"

He did a double take. "Seeing someone?"

Maud nodded. "Yes. Are you presently involved in a romantic commitment with a girl at the moment?"

He shook his head slowly. "No. I am not."

Much to his surprise, she gave brief but noticeable smile. "Good."

Before more could be exchanged between the two of them, they both heard the sound of Pinkie's excited yell at seeing Spike in her house. "Spike, you made it!" she rapidly ran down the stairs and hugged him tightly, once again keeping him close to her chest. "Ready to have some fun Spikey?! I Pinkie Promise you will have fun!" she then noticed her sister. "Oh, I noticed you met my sister. Maud, isn't he just the cutest?!"

"I could hug him forever." she replied.

"Welp, we're off. Tell mom, dad, Limestone, and Marble not to wait up!" she said as she dragged out of the room.

"I totally got dibs on him." Maud smiled for a final time.

And so, Pinkie Pie and Spike held each other’s hands as they walked down the sidewalk in downtown as they went away from the older girl’s house. The hyperactive pink haired girl was practically bouncing in excitement and couldn’t wait until she and her little friend arrived. “Oh I am so excited Spike!” she told him with glee. “But I’m also nervous that it probably won’t go as well as I hoped! I’m both excited and nervous.” she gasped. “I’m nervoucited!”

“You do know that’s not a real word, right?”

“Says who?”

“Everyone. Especially the people who invented the dictionary.”

Eventually, Pinkie and Spike made it to where the pink haired party girl was intent on taking them to get a night of fun, relief, and contentment. The green haired boy’s eyes slowly widened as soon as they stopped at a place filled with colorful lights and the sounds of rhythmic beat music were heard from inside.

“Huh? Huuuuuh?” she nudged him. “Now you see why I was so nervous and excited? I always feel that way when I come here.”

“Pinkie. What is this place?” Spike asked in both awe and fascination, intrigued by this place.

“Spike Drake. Allow me to welcome to the all time favorite teenager hangout where we can go to have lots of fun and dance until the sun comes down!” she dramatically proclaimed. “The Light Room!” she gestured him to go inside with her and he was introduced to a whole new and brave world.

Dozens of teenagers that he recognized form school were all there. Some were casually drinking sodas while others were on the floor, dancing to the music.

When Will You Come Home?

“Wow...” Spike unconsciously walked through the crowd of dancer, transfixed by the scenery. Soon he felt something bump against him and he turned to see three older girls giving him suggestive looks, as if inviting him to dance with them and have some fun. One had long reddish pink hair tied into pigtails, blue eyes that greatly resembled Pinkie’s own, a black tank top with various glow necklaces, one having a pacifier, and blue shorts. Another had fuschia hair, and purple hair, around her body were straps along with a green dress shirt that exposed her bare shoulders. The final had wild blue hair and purple eyes and was wearing a white and Purple cap with a sleeveless jacket covering a white shirt and blue pants.

“What’s up cutie? I’m Pacific Glow.” the pigtailed girl introduced herself then gestured to her fellow partyers. “These are my girls, Azure Velour and Flashdancer.”

“Um, Hi.” Spike blushed a little, seeing cleavages of their ample busts.

“Are you new here?” Flashdancer asked, leaning in closer.

“We haven’t seen you around here before.” Azure Velour said.

Spike gulped and composed himself. “Actually yes, this is my first time here. My friend’s with me, she’s right-”

“Here!” Pinkie cried out surprising him as she pulled him into her chest. “Hi girls!”

“Pinkie!” the three rave girls smiled in recognition.

“Hi girls!” Pinkie waved. “I’m so happy to see you three again. This is my new friend, Spike.” she ruffled Spike’s hair.

“Oh we’ve already been acquainted with this little man.” Pacific Glow winked.

“We’ll see you guys later.”

“Bye Spike~.” they all sang flirtatiously as they danced away from the two of them.

The boy chuckled nervously. “Heh. Nice girls.” he commented.

“Come on, there’s someone else I want you to see.” she guided him over to where the DJ desk where the music was originating from. The disk jockey working the desk had sunglasses with dark purple lenses, her hair was wild looking and it was colored cobalt blue with cyan highlights. Her attire was a white tank top and dark pink shorts that exposed her legs. Her rack size was a solid E-Cup.

She smiled as she saw the pink haired girl. “Yo, my favorite party girl. What is up?” she high-fived her.

“Hi Vinyl.” Pinkie greeted. “Spike, this is Vinyl Scratch, or as she’s best known in the music business, DJ Pon-3.”

“Oh yeah, you go to our school.” Spike nodded in remembrance. “You were the one who started that music club, right?”

“That’s me.” Vinyl answered with a proud smile. “I recognize you too kid. You’d be surprise on how a lot of friends of mine think you’re hot.” she chuckled.

Spike scratched his head. “I don't know about that.”

“No, I’m serious. Those girls are all over you.” Vinyl told him then outs a finger to her chin. “Of course, now that I see you up close, I can see why.” she slyly smirked.

Spike looked away with a blush, much to the disk jockey’s amusement. Pinkie then dragged him to the dance floor. “Well, what are we waiting for Spike? Let’s party!”

The two friends found themselves surrounded by various dancers and Pinkie Pie was quick to get with the groove of the music and tried to get Spike to join her, but he was too shy and afraid since he rarely ever dances at all, but there was something about the music that started a reaction in his body. His body started to move with the rhythm and before he knew it, he too was dancing. Quite well to be honest.

“That’s it Spike!” Pinkie cheered him on. “Now you’re getting it!”

“I don’t know if it’s the music or your encouragement, but this is really fun!” others were impressed by Spike freestyling and cheered as well, especially the girls. “Hey Pinkie?”

“Yeah, Spike?”

“Do you mind if we can talk aside in private?”

“Sure.” Pinkie and Spike left the dance floor temporarily and he turned to her. “So I gotta ask, how did you get into this whole magic business.”

Pinkie gasped and clapped happily. “Finally, I get tell my origin story! And it only took 7 chapters!”

“What?”

“Okay. Here’s how it went...” she stared at the reader.

Months Earlier....

As you obviously know, I lived to party. I mean, it would be crazy if you didn’t since I dropped a lot of hints. Heck, the author included me taking you to a club for Pete’s sake!

“Author?”

“But I digress. Back before I met Twilight, I was the best party planner in school. I’m telling ya, I had like tons of requests from a lot of people, both from outside and inside school. You wanna know why I liked throwing parties so much? It made so many people happy and laughing and that filled me up with joy. It was no wonder I turned out to be the Element of Laughter. I mean, if it chose someone else, I would be soooo confused! Anyway, Twilight and the others came to me and told me everything, and I was super excited! I could use magic powers! But then...

A green skinned humanoid upper body with the bottom half that resembled a scorpion that was attacking the girls who were in their pony forms. Pinkie was observing with an excited grin and was itching for her powers to reveal themselves so she can help out. And as if on cue, a pink flash surrounded her and she was in her Pony/Human form.

“Oh, this is gonna be so goooood!” she hopped and went high up until she landed straight on the Scorpion’s head, making it crash into the ground.

“Whoo-Hoo!”

“...After that, I told Twilight that I was a hundred percent onboard with her and the others!” she finished her tale. “And I am telling you Spike, it was the most amazing thing to have ever happened to me! I get to have super cool powers and meet a cute boy like you!” she gave him another bust treatment.

Spike blushed. “You know Pinkie, before now, I don’t think I could ever had gone to a place like this. I only ever spend time at my house or something so thanks, this was a nice change of pace.” he smiled.

“Anytime Spikey-Wikey!” she cuddled his cheek. “Do me a favor and don’t tell Rarity I called you that. Not sure if you know this, but she’s really territorial about her pet name for you.”

A few hours later, Spike and Pinkie Pie walked home to the party girl’s house.

“Well Pinkie, I had a blast.” Before he could turn around however, Pinkie cupped his chin.

“Don’t go just yet.” Pinkie smirked flirtatiously and leaned down to plant a big, wet kiss on Spike’s cheek. Once she lets go, she went to the door. “Later Spikey.” she winked. He could have sworn that she swayed her hips a little as she wlaked to the door.

“Wow.” Spike breathed and walked home.

Magical Bookworm

BEEP

BEEEP

"Ugh......" an annoyed voice droned out as she groggily wake up. Inside the Sparkle household, was none other than Twilight Sparkle who was inside her room and had just woken up by the sound of her alarm clock. One thing to take note of her room was that it was like a combination to a bedroom with an entire library, there were tons of shelves filled with a book of almost every genre imaginable. The young student of Princess Celestia has made it her business to have every piece of literature, either from Earth or Equestria, she got up from her bed and changed into her school uniform. She heard her phone ringing and answered the call. "Hello?"

"Hi sweetie."

She recognized the voice belonging to her mother, Twilight Velvet. "Mom? What are you calling for?" she almost forgot that her phone was magically enchanted to even receive calls from other dimensions, her parents would sometimes check in to make small talk or in this instance...

"What? A mother can't call to check in how her little girl's doing? You know, your father wants to know if you're keeping up in your studies on Earth."

Twilight rolled her eyes. "Come on, you and dad both know that I have no problems with any of my studies, even if I am taking classes on another dimension. Hey, have Cadence and Shining Armor called you two, it's been forever since we all last talked to them."

"Oh, those two occasionally drop by to see how were doing, them and their daughter miss you a lot you know, I mean, it has been quite a while since you left for that important assignment from Princess Celestia. Which is still completely fine by us. We just wonder if you could maybe take a day off and come visit us, if it's not any inconvenience to you, it is perfectly understandable if you don't want to honey, you must have tons of important work yo do."

Twilight sighed at this. When she first left Equestria to explore the planet Earth as a part of Celestia's orders, her parents tried to put on a brave face for her, but she knew how much they would terribly miss their daughter, and while she returned the sentiment, that didn't mean that she wasn't slightly embarrassed by their habit of worrying over her. "That sounds nice, but something important has come up, and I need to focus on that for a while. Besides, I've got school in a few minutes." she said, glancing at her watch.

"Right, of course. Call back whenever you can honey, and your dad says stay away from boys. Love you!" with that, she hung up.

Groaning in aggravation over that last part, Twilight walked out of her room and prepared breakfast. It was a handle to live all by herself in one single house in the city, but over time she began to fit in with the daily routine of this world that was very different from her own. As she finished eating, the young princess went outside and proceeded to go to her school.

As she entered in through the entrance and into the courtyard, she took note of the many boys who giving her lovesick looks, but she paid them no mind. Ever since she first started attending this school, she along with her fellow elements of harmony have been sought after by nearly every male student, though she wasn't really interested in dating at the moment. As she went inside the lobby, she needed to get to the princess/principal's office to give them her daily report on any recent events that have happened on or off campus.

Once she went inside, she saw her mentor and her co-ruler of Equestria inside waiting for her. "Ah Twilight, right on time as usual, please sit." Celestia gestured her to sit down on the chair just in front of her. "So, anything new for you to report."

Twilight bowed. "So far, things have been quiet ever since that attack at the park. I've had Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy patrol the skies to look out for anything suspicious, while Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie searched all around town. As far as we can tell, no monster sightings. At least, not yet."

"Well, that's good to hear." Celesita said with a smile. "We wouldn't anyone panicking about seeing a bugbear or a parasprite."

"On an unrelated matter, what is the progress on the young dragon boy, Spike?" Luna asked.

"Spike's been coming along quite remarkably. Training with me along with the girls have helped him settle in well with his new powers." Twilight answered with a little pride in her tone.

"Nice to know all this hasn't stressed him out in the slightest." Celelstia replied. "Very well Twilight, that will be all for today, go ahead and proceed to your class." Bowing for a final time, Twilight rose from her seat and left their office, leaving the sisters alone with their thoughts. The sun princess got up and looked out the window. "He's progressing quite faster than anyone else in his family, he truly is Bahamut's descendant." she mused.

Luna nodded in agreement. "Yes, he has. Even so, he's still young, the boy has yet to fully understand and nleash the sort of power that flows through his veins. One thing we should think about is that he's awakened his hidden heritage, it'll bring unwanted attention to him." the moon princess then adopted a troubled expression. "Specifically those of the shadow creatures." every time she thought about them, it brought back memories of the past, a past that she would rather like to forget.

Her older sister laid a hand on her shoulder with a look of sympathy. "Luna, do you wish to talk about it?"

She shook her head. "No, I'm fine." she told her sibling, reassuringly. "It's just, if anything happens to them because of her, I could never forgive myself. Especially of Spike gets hurt."

Celestia nodded in understanding. "We both promised his parents that we'd make sure that no harm would come to him, but now that he's involved in this sort of life, that may prove impossible." she noted gravely.

Now that she was done giving her report to the princess sisters, Twilight Sparkle was now free to continue with the rest of the day. It was a normal routine, she gives them any information that she could supply once a week, lives the rest of the day normally, deal with the occasional rampaging monster, and repeat. As she walked her thoughts drifted to Spike, she was impressed that despite being at such a young age, he's handling being half-dragon and the existence of magic so well, then again, most of the girls didn't have any qualms when they first started, so she shouldn't be so surprised.

"Hey there Twilight." and wouldn't you know it? There he was, walking up to her.

"Oh, hi Spike." Twilight greeted back with a kind smile.

"I saw you walk out of Principal's Celestia's office. You're not in trouble are you?" he asked in concern.

Twilight shook her head. "Oh don't worry, I was just giving both her and Princess Luna my weekly report. When I arrive at school, I inform them of supernatural development and progress reports that describe how the seven of us are coming along in controlling our powers."

"I hope I'm doing well." Spike said, worried that he might be falling behind of the girls since they have ore experience in the field.

"Don't be like that. You're actually doing better than you think." she told him with an encouraging smile.

"Well, Well. if it isn't Twilight Sparkle?" a snooty voice proclaimed, making Twilight's eye twitch, but Spike had a more panicked expression on his face.

"No...not today..." she groaned as both her and Spike turned and saw a girl the same age as Twilight. She had her arms crossed under her E-Cup breasts, she had dark violet eyes that were narrowed at the other girl, her long pale blue hair with cerulean streaks flowed down behind her.

"What do you want, Trixie?" Twilight folded her arms with a glare, not wanting to deal with her attitude. Again.

"Trixie just wanted to see if you finished last night's homework assigned to us by the teacher, It would be a shame if you absentmindedly neglected completing otherwise, Trixie would have to be the one to report you." Trixie told her with a smug attitude that got on Twilight's nerve.

"For your information, I did do my homework." Twilight told her. "And if you'd be so kind as to get out of my way, I can-" she then noticed something shaking. Turning around, she saw the Spike was clinging to her with a look of fear. "Spike, what's wrong?"

Spike quickly shushed her. "Don't say my name!" he whispered. "She might notice that I'm-" he suddenly, sensing an eerie presence not far from him. "She's standing right behind me, isn't she?" he slowly turned around and saw Trixie looking down on him with a sultry look that made him gulp.

"Why little Spike, I was so distracted, I must have been ignorant of you being here~." she said as she leaned down closer to him, making her bust more apparent. "I hope you can forgive me~."

Shaking, Spike numbly answered. "That's perfectly fine Trixie, I don't mind at all." he told her while inwardly thinking: 'In fact, I would have preferred it that way.' he slowly moved around her and wasted no time in trying to get as far away from her as possible, but Trixie grabbed his shoulders and pulled him close, making him shiver. He could feel her lay her assets on his head.

"Why the rush, sweetie?" Trixie said, sensually. "How's about we go somewhere more private to catch up? Classes won't start for a few more minutes, it will give me plenty of time." she stroked his hair.

Even though he was very much afraid to and not wanting to know, he just had to ask. "Um, plenty of time to do what, exactly?"

"Come with me and find out." she whispered in his ear, but was pulled back by Twilight with a stern expression. "Hey! Trixie demands to know the meaning of this!" the snooty girl demanded with a furious scowl.

"For someone who claims to obey the rules, you seem to forget that the school doesn't really approve of such action between students. One word from me, and you might as well join those two boys, Snips and Snails, in the detention hall, which would damage you're so-called reputation, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?"

Both girls stared each other down in a glare-off as they dared the other to act, Trixie decided to just walk away gave her rival one last message. "Until next time, Sparkle." she glared at her, then sent a flirtatious wink to Spike. "So long, Spike. I'll see you later~." she promised as she walked away, swaying her hips intentionally for Spike to see.

"What was all that about?" Twilight asked Spike, bewildered by the way Trixie was acting around him. It was like she went from stuck up rival to lovesick stalker. "Do you know Trixie Lulamoon?"

Spike sighed in exhaustion. "Unfortunately." he answered, sweating a little. "I don't know what's her deal. Around the time I first started out in this school, she was all over me for some reason. I think it might have something to do with me complimenting her for one of those stage show magic tricks she does around town."

Twilight's eyes widened a bit. 'Stage show magician, huh? So she's using that as a cover in this world. Some things just never change.'

"Anyway, I'll see you later Twi." Spike bade farewell as he walked away. The young Alicorn princess said goodbye two as they parted ways, with Spike looking over his shoulder to make sure Trxie was nowhere to be seen.

School finished as soon as it started and the students were walking home, and Twilight decided to take a more scenic route that was much more easy. Though she was very much so driven by the number one rule of never using any magical powers out in public, but she knew certain private places where she would be free to use her powers without fear of anyone watching. It was a simple teleportation spell that didn't need that much effort since she mastered the spell when she was only ten, she transported herself to a street that was nearby her house and walked home.

Once inside, she went to her room/library and was ready to start on a list. It was a long paper with the names of various items she was intending on purchasing, but once she saw that there was a considerably long number of them, it might take a while until she gets everything on it.

Help was needed.

A part of her considered calling one of the girls, but remembered that they each were busy with their own activities for today

Pinkie Pie had to babysit the Cakes' young twins.

Rarity was out shopping for some more fabric for the school's clothes' design club.

Applejack had requested for some extra work on the Apple farm.

Fluttershy was giving out animals to people who were offering to adopt.

Rainbow Dash was practicing for her team's next big soccer game.

Which only let one single option left...

The young princess took out her phone and dialed in a phone number that was recently added into her contacts list and really hoped he wasn't busy. After a few seconds a voice answered... "Hello?"

"Spike, it's me." Twilight told him.

"Oh hi Twilight, didn't expect to hear from you? What's up?"

Twilight Sparkle twirled a strand of her hair a little, as if she was nervous to ask this of him. "I need a little help. See, I got this list of things I need to buy, only there's a lot on it and the rest of the girls are too busy doing their own things to try and help. I was wondering if you could maybe come with me to the store, if it's not too much trouble that is."

"Sure. I got nothing planned for tonight."

Twilight smiled at his response. "Really? That's great, I'll be at P-Mart at exactly 5:00.

"Got it. See you there."

With that, the call was ended and Twilight moved to change into more casual wear and get herself ready.

The Ponyville P-Mart was a large complex where people could go to buy things for normal, everyday appliances and supplies, with Twilight being a regular customer. As she walked, she could faintly see her young friend up ahead, arriving exactly on time like her. "You're here on time." Twilight noted with surprise in her tone. "Usually, I have to wait a little for others to get here."

"I like to be punctual." Spike shrugged. "So, what exactly do you need help buying?" he asked as they both walked into the mart.

"Being one of the princesses of Equestria, along with being the pupil of Princess Celestia requires a lot of work, which would then require supplies for said work." she explained to him. "I usually buy the supplies themselves, but this particular list would be completed much faster if I had some help."

"Makes sense." Spike nodded.

"Glad you think so, because I really need help with this list." to prove her point, she took out her list of supplies that reached all the way down to the floor.

Her green haired friend could only gape at how long the paper it was. "That's....a lot of stuff. Do you really need all this?"

Twilight hummed in thought. "I could probably cross out maybe one or two of them, since I'm almost 90% sure I have them already, but you can never be too sure. Now come along." she beckoned him to follow her. They both walked in one aisle that had multiple binders on stock. "Okay Spike, let's pick about 11 binders, and make sure to get the paper too."

"11? Why that much?" he inquired.

"Every time we encounter a new beast from Equestria, I kind of have a habit of making a short little bio for each one in different notebooks or binders in my house." she answered as they filled the shopping cart with the binders and the papers and moved on to the next aisle. "Item #2, a new telescope."

"I didn't know you liked stargazing."

Twilight lightly blushed. "It's a hobby I like to do, I mostly look at stars, planets, and the occasional shooting stars or comets that pass on by." the two spent the rest of the hours loading the cart with various notebooks, staplers, and other needs for the young princess.

"Okay..." Spike said as he looked over the list. "I think that's about it. Unless we left something out."

"No. We actually got everything on it." Twilight said with genuine shock. "Wow, I have to admit, that's the fastest time I've ever cleared a whole list in a single day."

Spike smiled good-naturedly. "Guess it pays to have some help."

The princess of Friendship found herself smiling in return. "I guess so." With the list out of the way, the two friends walked out of the mart and walk but she stopped him. "Hold on, I've got a more easier route to use." Making sure that no one was watching, Twilight's eyes glowed and in an instant, herself along with Spike and the supplies were gone, leaving only an empty shopping cart.

Focus is then put on the empty driveway of Twilight's house where a violet sphere appeared and Twilight, Spike, along with the supplies now filled it. "Woah!" Spike said with wide eyes. "How did we get here?"

"Simple teleportation spell." Twilight answered. "Way easier than flying and running."

"What happened to the no using our powers in public rule?"

Laughing nervously, she reluctantly told him. "Eh, as long as not that many people are around, I'm sure it wouldn't really matter that much trouble. Now, help me load all this stuff."

"Or you could use your magic." Spike suggested with a grin. "I mean look around, can't even spot a dude taking his dog out for a walk."

"Good point." Twilight nodded in approval. "I like the way you think." she smiled as she telekinetically lifted the supplies into her home, with Spike following. "We'll put the supplies in my room, it's more cozy."

"What about your parents?" he pointed out. "Won't they wonder why a random boy is in their daughter's room?"

She looked back at him. "Actually, my parents don't really live here." she said, taking him by surprise. "You see, when Princess Celestia assigned me to the mission here on Earth, it basically meant that I had to move out of my home in Equestria." she began to chuckle a little. "You should have seen my dad during my going away party. He could have filled a bucket full of tears."

"They must miss you like crazy." Spike told her. "Don't you miss them?"

"All the time, actually." she answered. "But don't think of it as if I won't ever see them again, I can drop at any time and my phone can receive reception to even another dimension, so it's not like they're not completely out of my life." she said, walking up to her room, with him lingering a little.

'At least she knows where to find hers.' he thought to himself.

"Spike, you coming?"

He was snapped out of his inner thoughts once she called him. "On my way." he went inside her room and was once again surprised, this time by the interior of his room. "Wow. Is this your room or your own private library?"

Twilight chuckled a little. "A little of both actually. Set them down over there." she pointed to the books categorized as D to which he complied.

He then noticed a book labeled 'Art of the To-Do List', '50 ways to introduce yourself', etc. 'Sheesh, does she have a book for everything?' he thought with an eyebrow raised. "Hey Twilight, since I'm here, do you mind if I ask you something?"

"Not at all." Twilight replied.

"Since, you're from a completely different dimension, I'm a little curious on how you first came to Earth in the first place and how you met the girls." he told her.

Twilight expected him to be curious about her origins, so she decided to enlighten him. "Well, I guess it all started when I was a little kid, way before I got my cutie mark."

Spike raised an eyebrow. "Cutie mark? What's a cutie mark?"

"Oh, I guess we didn't really get the chance to explain that part, did we?" she was now starting to blush a little. "Okay, I'll show you, but just a fair warning, this might get weird, so bear with me." much to his surprise, she was raising her skirt up to show him her thigh making him freak out a little.

"Woah! What are you doing?!" he asked, as he moved his hands to block the view.

She reassured him. "It's okay, just look for a bit." she told him but she could see that he was very red in the face over this whole thing, so spoke gently. "Spike, I promise you this isn't what it looks like, just take a look, that's all I ask." although reluctant, he took a peak and saw some kind of birthmark on her thigh, it was a violet star with sparkles surrounding it. "This is a cutie mark, Spike." she told him. "You see in Equestria, they represent the hidden talent and purpose of a pony. Everyone has one, even the girls when they got their powers. And me, well that's what this story is about."

She pulled her skirt down and began to tell her tale.

"I gotta be honest with you, I was a very different person back then...and that's not just that I used to be a unicorn before becoming an Alicorn....

We see a younger Twilight Sparkle going on a stroll in the capitol city of Canterlot, she had a disinterested look on her face as she passed by groups of Equestrians who were hanging out and relaxing. We cut to her house where she was reading a book. Near her, was some sort of stuffed donkey toy.

"Unlike now, I wasn't really the most social person in school or in the whole city, I faintly remember hanging out with oyher unicorns, but I hardly recall doing anything besides studying with them. It was kind of an issue my parents and big brother would always talk to me about, but I never really listened. In those times I was more focused about getting my cutie mark than making friends. Then came the day to get into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, the most prestigious institutions in all of Canterlot.

Twilight stood in front of the school officials along with her parents there for moral support. She was presented with random supplies and was tasked with transmutating them at will, for someone as young as her, this was a difficult task to complete, so she had to dig deep and bring out the hidden magical potential that she possessed. It took a lot of effort, and it caused quite a strain in her, but soon her eyes glowed white and soon unleashed a violet wave of magic that changed everything, including the ponies present. Her parents were turned into plants while the school officials into objects.

"It was the most amazing feeling ever, I felt like I could change everything with only a thought but I couldn't control myself, I never experience such raw magic. Luckily, a certain somepony stepped in and stopped things before they could escalate even further.

Princess Celestia made an appearance and with her own magic power, was able to contain Twilight's wave, and revert everypony back to normal. Twilight looked up at her land's ruler and was afraid that she was about be punished, but was taken by surprise as Celestia extended her hand the child, the sun monarch had gentle, comforting smile that assured the young unicorn that she would help her control her gift.

"She took me in, and decided to take me on as her pupil. I spent the next few years studying under her expert tutelage, learning important lessons and new spells. Then came the time when she said that I needed to go to Earth and find the Elements of Harmony, she also said that the main goal for the mission was to make some friends. Since meeting the girls, I finally got to see how great it was making friends, and after they awakened their powers, we got in all sorts of adventures, both here and in Equestria. I should bring you there sometime, I'm sure you'd love it....

Now back to the two.

"And the rest is history." she finished, with Spike smiling after hearing it. "Then she told us about you, your family history, your dragon powers, etc."

"Wow, kinda wish I got these powers sooner, wouldn't kind getting involved in those crazy adventures you girls had in the past."

Twilight patted his head affectionately. "Stick around long enough, and you just might get involved in your own." she then checked her watch. "It's getting pretty late, you should get home soon."

"Yeah, you're right. And hey, next time you need more help, don't be afraid to ask." he told her.

Smiling in gratitude, Twilight leaned in close to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, making him go red in the face over the action. "Consider that a reward."

"Uh, okay." he blushed as he walked out of her house and touched his cheek as he continued to make his way back to his house and smiled. "These girls are alright." he said to himself, thinking of his new friends.

Honest Apple Farmer

On one sunny afternoon, our boy Spike was walking to an unspecified location, early in the morning while he was watching some TV, he got an anonymous text from an unknown girl that said to meet her at 3rd street. He was really curious as to who it was that needed him, he left a note for Torch and Ember saying that hel'll be off into town for a while to see who it was. Eventually the green haired half-kid dragon arrived at 3rd street, just as the text said.

"Well this is the place." Spike observed looking around but so far he found not one person in sight. "Doesn't seem like anyone's around this better not be some stupid prank." he said with an annoyed scowl.

"Spike, hey Spike!" a familiar southetn accented voice called out, he looked and saw that it was Applejack running right over to him and stopped where he was at. "Glad ya could make it sugarcube." she said with a friendly smile, ruffling his hair affectionately .

"Applejack? You sent me that text?" Spike questioned, surprised and blushed slightly over how her big bust was close to his face.

The country gal nodded. "Yep, see yer the kind of guy Ah need." she told him.

"For what?" he asked curiously.

"Well ya see, I got me some chores at my family's farm that might be a bit too much for just me so I figured that a little help wouldn't hurt so Ah sent ya that text to ask ya." she explained.

"Me?" he pointed to himself in surprise. "Are you sure? I mean I'm not exactly a hard worker or anything." he rubbed the back of his head.

"Aw don't think that way little honey, I'm sure you'll do great." she assured him and grabbed him by his hand. "Now come on my Granny Smith will blow a head gasket again if I don't get them chores done." she said guiding him to her home.

Spike was silently curious as to why his cowgirl friend wanted his help specifically. 'Don't know why she couldn't ask any of the others.'

Minutes later, Applejack took Spike to her farm/home the apple orchard Sweet Apple Acres, there was a barn and farmhouse not too far from each other, he could see a pig pen and chicken coops for the animals and many apple trees at the field that went on for what may seem like miles. Spike was amazed by the scenery.

"Wow, so you actually live here Applejack?" Spike questioned with an astounded look gazing around.

"Yep." she nodded. "Ever since I was a little youngin' Sweet Apple Acres has been not just mine but my whole family's home,, everyday I make sure our family keeps up the Apple Family business along with my brother and sister, especially my granny, oh and speaking of which." she pointed to the farmhouse where an elderly woman wearing a cooking apron exited out.

"Applejack!" she hollered. "Applejack where are ya child? Those chores aren't gonna get done themselves!"

"Comin' Granny!" Applejack called back she and Spike ran over to her.

"There ya are, where in Sam Hill were ya? Those chores still ain't finish-" she stopped once she saw Spike next her. "Well now, who's this little one?" she asked in interest.

"This here is one of my friends, Spike." Applejack answers. "Spike, this my grandmother Granny Smith who also runs the farm like a conductor on a train."

"Uh, pleasure to meet you ma'am." Spike greeted shaking her hand.

"Likewise sonny, though if I may ask, what brings ya here to the farm?" Granny Smith asked him curious as to why her grandchild would bring a little boy like him .

"I can answer that Granny." Applejack stated. "See since Big Mac is out getting some groceries and Applebloom is hangin' with her friends I figured that some help will be needed so that's where Spike comes in." she patted him on the head.

"Oh, I see." Granny Smith nodded in understanding. "Well I guess some extra hands wouldn't hurt."

"So your okay with it?" Her granddaughter asked hopefully.

"As long as you two are aimin' to get the job done, then I can't complain." the elder replied.

"Great come on Spike!" Applejack beckzoned him to follow her. "Let's star at the pig pen, those fellas need a washin'. Though I should warn ya, little Piginton can put up a fight when he wants to, my little sister Applebloom learned that the hard way, let me tell ya. She had to take hours to wash all that mud off." she laughed at the memory.

Granny Smith watched as they both went off to start their work, as she did, the elder Apple could t help but smile. "Well I was wondering when AJ would bring home a boy, he might be a little young for her, but he seems like her type." she then rubbed her chin. "'Course now that I think about it, he seems to fit the description of that boy Applebloom said she has a crush on at her school, but I'm sure that's not related."

At a nearby treehouse, inside were three girld sitting around a table, they looked about the same age as Spike, one was red eyed and her hair was the same color, with a bow tied into it, she was wearing blue overalls over a lime green shirt. Next to her was a bright purple haired girl with baby green eyes, wearing a white dress and purple boots. The final girl had dark violet hair and eyes, she had on a black hoodie over a blue jersey and green cargo pants.

Suddenly, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.

"Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, do either of you feel something?" the bow wearing girl says with a southetn accent.

"Yeah, it feels like..." the purple haired girl began in a sweet tone.

"... A disturbance." the last one said in a tomboyish tone.

Applebloom shrugged. "I'm sure it's nothing, now back to business, 10 other things attractive about Spike Drake."

Applejack and Spike made it to the pig pen where a huge one was moving wildly around in the mud as happy at it could be. The other pigs were resting in the pen already, having already had their fun in the mud pile, this one was Little Piginton the little critter that the young couple-of of friends I mean we're gonna give a bath.

"Sooooo.... we have to clean him?" Spike asked, begging to be wrong.

His friend nodded apologetically. "Yep, that'd be him, sorry sugar. Don't forget what I told ya he will and I say will put up a fight." she added in a serious tone.

"Noted. But you know the two of us along with the girls have tangled to with magical creatures." he pointed out. "I mean how hard can it be?"

10 minutes later...

"Spike, hold his feet!" Applejack told him, brushing the big pig with water. "Try and calm him down!"

"Easier said than done!" Spike yelled back, the both of them were drenched in water from the huge bucket that they put Piginton in to take his bath. "Forget what I said back then, this is ten times harder than fighting magical creatures!"

What his gorgeous cowgirl friend said about the farm animal was right on so many levels, the rambunctious animal did not want to get clean anytime soon, thankfully after a few more minutes if washing his entire being, the pig was sparkling clean. As for the two of them, they were soaking wet from sloths water he splashed on them.

"Oh boy, sure am glad that's over with." Applejack sighed. "I hafta ask Applebloom how she handles that, by the way Spike you okay?" she asked grabbing a towel to dry herself off.

"It was okay I guess, so what's next on the age-" he cut himself off as he saw Applejack, he could see the water on her skin sparkling a little, her bright blonde hair seemed to glisten a little as she waved it around to get the drops off. Spike couldn't help but stare at the beautiful cowgirl, up until now he didn't realize how attractive she was, plus the water could barely show stains on her shirt making her endowed chest stand out a little more, she put her hands on her curvy hips and looked absolutely amorous.

"Spike? Spike?" Applejack called out snapping him out if it.

"Huh? What?" he shook his head to regain his senses.

"You alright sugarcube?" she asked curiously. "You went all silent for about a few seconds."

Spike widened his eyes. "Oh well-I, uh, thought I saw something on you're face. But there isn't so no worries heh." she chuckle nervously with a noticeable blush. 'Gosh darn it! What's wrong with you, man?! Terrible excuse!"' he thought l.

"Hmm." Applejack looked skeptical of his reasoning, there was definitely something else that much she was certain, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"So what's next?" Spike asked after a brief pause.

"Well we gotta put up some fences."

The two of them were hammering up some wood around the yard to make the fence and painted them white. Spike was having some trouble with one, so Applejack suggested that they both do it at once, she got be hind him and set up the final piece together, what she didn't was that she made Spike heat up once she pressed her breasts against his back.

"After that we gotta milk the cows."

They were nearby with the bovines and were filing up buckets if milk. Spike was placing one bucket down and was about to move on to the next one until he saw her kneeling down, milking a cow of her own. He could see how well toned her butt was and was mesmerized.

"Next up is putting some apple cider in the cellar."

Applejack led her little friend to the entrance of the cellar where they store many of the Apple Family's tasty beverages, including their city-wide famous apple cider. She lent one over to Spike who gladly took out hearing how great they can be.

"And last but certainly not least, there's the daily apple-bucking out on the fields, that one's a personal favorite of mine."

"You actually like one chore?"

"What can I say? I'm in my element with there."

For the last and final chore for the day, Spike and Applejack were out on the apple fields bucking the trees so that the apples growing on them would fall down into the buckets, Spike had filled one with just about 20 apples and his friend had about the exact same amount. It was really surprising seeing how strong she can be, then again she does have the strength of like 100 men with her powers.

"Whoo!" she exclaimed wiping off some sweat. "I tell ya Spike, I never get tired of this."

"So I take it that apple-bucking is something you do a lot." he guessed.

"Oh yeah." she nodded. "You know, even before I got my powers, I could make them apples fall way better than my big brother. Heck, you're not doing so bad yourself."

"Yeah, well dragon strength and all." he shrugged.

The country gal then looks at him intently. "Say Spike."

"Yeah?"

"What's the real reason?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" he questioned.

"Remeber when the two of us were done with giving Piginton a bath, you were staring at me for quite a bit." she recalled.

Spike started to panic a little, he didn't want her to suspect anything, luckily he kept his cool. "What do you mean? I already told you, I saw something on your face." he reminded.

Applejack shook her head. "No, no, no, don't try and hide it Spike, see I know a lie like I know exactly how many apples we have here, so come on Spike, we're both friends, you can tell me. Now if memory serves, I was crying myself off from all that water."

She had no idea that she was putting a lot of panic into him. "Well I-I mean uh-"

"I think that's the point you started to stare. Don't know why I mean I was just a gal drenched in water-" that's when it hit her, she mentally slapped herself for not seeing it before, an attractive teenage girl with water poured on her while a boy watches. Duh, though surprisingly she actually didn't mind it, as evident as her face adopted a sly expression. "Oh, I see." she smirked.

"Wh-What?" he backed up as Applejack began to move be toward him, she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him awfully close to her big breasts. "Applejack?!" he exclaimed in surprise and became redder than the apples they collected.

His friend giggled. "It's alright sugarcube, I'm actually fine with you peeping a little." she said sincerely.

"R-Really?"

"Yeah." her expression began to soften a bit. "Believe it or not, not a lot of guys admire my looks that much, then again I don't really date or anything, so it feels nice that you find me attractive."

"You're really not mad?" he asked wanting to make sure, not a lot of girls would be okay with a some little boy checking her out, except maybe Rarity.

"I said that didn't I?." then an idea popped into her head. "Hey Spike, not that we're done with the chores, there's something I wanna show ya." she dragged him along, deeper into the fields, they were a bit farther away from the farm until they stooped a big hillside. He was curious as to why she took them here, until she beckoned him to climb up to the top which took about a few minutes. "Feast you eyes." she gestured to the wide open space of a field.

"Woah." he breathed in awe. There was hardly anything urban about this place, and yet it was calming.

"I know, right? See, I come here whenever I need to clear my head, for instance, after the latest monster attack." she explained.

"Hey, if you don't mind me asking, how did you get into this whole new life?" Spike asked her.

"Well now, that takes me way back..." she started tot recount the events.

Months earlier...

'Before becoming an Element Of Harmony, I was just your average gal, my family and I had just moved from the country, and as you can imagine, it was slightly a hassle to get used to my new home, but don't worry non, eventually I learned to like it here. You know Spike, the reason I was chosen was that I was one of the honest people around, ain't ever tell a lie in my life, no siree. Who would've thought that would lead me to meeting Twi.'

'Did you two knew each other before?'

'I only conversed with her, Rarity, and Rainbow a few times. One day, they asked if I could meet them after school, where they told me all about Equestria, me being the Element of Honesty, and I believed them.'

Wait... seriously?'

Another thing you should know about me is that I know a lie when I hear it, I also know the truth, and those three dpoke nothing but the truth. But then...'

"What in tarnation?!" Applejack yelled in shocked. After hearing the girls' tale, they were immediately attacked by what looked like a giant crocodile made out of stone. Even though she believed them, it was still shocking to say the least.

"Quick you two, pony up!" Twilight Sparkle ordered, to which they complied, this only shocked Applejack more.

The stone beast sent a giant boulder at them, luckily Rarity used her protective diamond force field to block it, Rainbow, at sonic speed, dashed to the right of it and sent a lightning blast aimed at it's head. The result was it being blasted to pieces, but it regenerated itself, with growl, it whacked the athlete with its spiked tail, crashing her trough a bench.

Seeing this, Applejack couldn't help but feel wanting to help out, these girls were being honest with her and that made them good people. These feelings caused an orange aura to form around her in a flash, she transformed, now she had pony ears and still had her aura. though surprised by this, the rock crock charged but Applejack punched it away with ease. She gazed at her hand in wonder, she was definitely stronger than before, the monster got back up and was ready to go another round, but Applejack touched the rocky surface of the ground and manipulated it. It rose up as a huge boulder and took shape of a hammer, with mighty force, she charged at it and pounded it into submission, neutralizing it. Seein the threat having passed, Twilight opened a portal and sent it away.

"Wow, nice story." Spike complimented.

"Thanks, she replied. "After that I formally joined them and well the rest you know." Apple jack looked and saw the sun beginning to set. "Looks like the sun's beginning to take a nap, come on sugar let's head back, those apples need to to get to Granny ASAP."

"Hold on AJ, there's somethig else I need to know." he told her. "How come you asked me to help out, I mean why me specifically? Any of the other girls could've helped out."

Applejack thought for a moment before giving her answer. "Well, shucks Spike, I thought it would be a great way for us bond a little. Since we're gonna be working together, I thought maybe we could get to know each other a little more."

"Oh, well that's okay."

But then she started to blush. "Although, truth be told, this is the first timd ice asked someone for help."

"Really?"

"Yeah, sure the girls have come by, but only to hang out and such. I never really was one to ask so done for help, but if I'm being honest Spike, I'm glad I asked you." she then hugged him again.

"Um, same here." he said heating up again.

"Now come on, let's head back." she said letting go.

"Right behind ya." he responded, following her back.

After getting the apples back to Granny, she humbly thanked Spike for helping her granddaughter with her chores, she rewarded them with two fresly baked apple pies, much to their joined delight. After that, Applejack walked him back to his house.

"Well, see you tomorrow in school Spike." she said with a smile.

"Likewise." he responded.

"Oh, and before I forget." she bent down, and gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek. Spike was taking by surprised and yet had no objections, though he was blushing considerably. She let go and looked at him with a smile. "Bye." she waved. As she walked away, he noticed a sway in her hope and couldn't help but look, that's when Applejack looked back and have him a flirtatious wink before going off again.

Spike blinked and went in where Ember greeted him in the living room.

"Hey Spike, how was your day?" she asked.

Spike took a moment to think and smiled. "It was pretty great Ember, it was pretty great." he answers with a lot of honesty.
