Master Thief Dragon

As the sun greeted the new day, Spike opened his eyes and saw Cadence lying next to him fast asleep. The teen smiled at the sight of her, and spoke to himself, "I hope she doesn't mind if I have a little morning fun." Spike reached over and copes a feel of Cadence's right bosom.

The girl moaned, as Spike's playfully massaged the orb of flesh, until she woke up, "Master, so daring this early in the morning."

"Just needed a little jump start for the day, Cadence. Sleep well?"

"I slept so peacefully, Master." Cadence answered with a smile.

"Well, you earned it. With your life as a mom and caregiver to Flurry Heart and Twilight, it's hard for you and I have this kind of fun." Spike noted.

"I know," Cadence pouted, "Auntie Tia and Luna have all the real fun with you."

Spike patted her head making her purr, "I'm sorry about that. But hey it's still early. So we got plenty of time."

Cadence's eyes lit up, "You mean it?"

"Uh-huh." he nodded.

"Thank you, Master!" Cadence cheered, as she got on top of Spike and started kissing his neck while rubbing her naked body against his own.

Spike panted as Cadence was covering his neck with hickeys, and thought, 'Forgive me, Shining Armor, but your wife is a tiger when it comes to this. Frisky. But I hope Luna isn't watching this.'

In Luna's room, the younger sister was wrestling with Celestia, as she was trying to get to her monitor that displayed all that went on in Spike's room, "Tia, you can't stop me!" Luna tried crawling to her monitor, with Celestia pulling her back by the legs.

"This is Master and Cadence's time. We must respect their privacy!" Celestia pulled Luna back and tried pinning her to the floor.

"But this is all for my research!"

"Trying to compare yourself to our own young niece is in a sense kind of pathetic." Celestia noted.

"What?!" Luna was appalled.

"You've got just as much to offer here and here," Celestia groped her sister's breast and felt up her butt making the younger sister moan, "And you feel threatened by Cadence?"

"I feel nothing of the sort!" Luna reversed their positions, "Now let's see how you like it!" she groped her older sister making her moan in return.

Back in Spike's bedroom, he and Cadence continued their morning make out, with Cadence on top and Spike completely at her mercy. As their lips clashed, their tongues wrestled for dominance which increased their sex drives. Eventually the two came up for air and panted, "I haven't had this much excitement for awhile." Cadence admitted.

"And yet you haven't lost your touch." Spike noted.

"Thank you, Master."

"Well, come on. We better get up. Don't wanna waste the day away." Spike said, as the two got out of bed and left to get ready.

After getting cleaned up and dressed, Spike and Cadence were seated at the kitchen table with Celestia and Luna enjoying breakfast. Spike took notice of Celestia and Luna both looking roughed up, and had a feeling it involved the idea of spying on him and Cadence.

After they finished eating, Cadence spoke up, "I better get on home to Twilight and Flurry Heart."

"How about I take you there myself?" Spike offered.

"Really, Master?"

"Sure. I could use some fresh air myself. Plus I may as well go see Twilight and make sure she's really ok. She was very upset yesterday." Spike recalled.

"I understand," Cadence agreed, "But if she tries to make any moves on you, I will have to step in as disciplinarian."

"Very well," Spike agreed, as he and Cadence stood up, "I'll be back later, you two." Spike told the sisters.

"Be safe out there, Master. You too, Cadence." Celestia told them.

"And come back safely," Luna added, as the two left. Luna turned to Celestia and spoke, "Every time I look at Master, it always becomes hard to imagine he was such a small boy. So innocent and charming."

"Indeed," Celestia nodded, and thought to herself, 'That's right. He was just a boy when I first met him. And me... I was in training to become his servant.'

Many years ago, Celestia was nineteen years of age and was dressed in gym shorts and a sports bra, while running through an obstacle course. The course itself was tricked out with a lot of obstacles from mud pit running, barbwire crawling, wall climbing, tire set runs, and ope swinging. She ran through the obstacle several times in a row making her sweat up a storm.

After Celestia completed the course about ten times in a row, she was sitting on a bench looking exhausted while drinking from a bottle of water. Suddenly a shadow fell over her, and she looked up seeing an older woman wearing a drill sergeant's attire, "Celestia." she addressed the young lady.

"Yes, Ms. Flare?"

"Your skills have been improving, but your body still has ways to go before you are ready." her instructor began.

"Yes, ma'am." Celestia answered.

"Which is why we must further increase your training. Remember, you are being prepped and trained so that one day you will serve under the next Lupin family heir to the title of Dragon."

"I understand."

"Good. Shower off and be ready for your next course in a few hours." Ms. Flare instructed, as Celestia nodded, as her older self narrated.

"I was in training to become the servant to one Spike Lupin, the one who would inherit the title of Dragon the master thief. But I had never seen this heir in my life, and I was being trained and pushed past the limits of my body to become his servant. I swore to myself I wouldn't accept it so willingly until I've seen this Spike Lupin myself."

Eventually Celestia got her wish, as she was brought to the Lupin mansion one day to finally meet her so called future master. The young lady saw approaching her was a small seven year old boy with an adorable face, and short green hair. He wore white shoes, purple pants, and a light green shirt with a purple necktie, "It's very nice to meet you. My name's Spike Lupin." the boy greeted her with a smile and giggle.

Celestia looked at the boy with shock and confusion, while thinking to herself, 'But he-he's just a child.'

The girl was snapped out of her thoughts, as an old man with a white beard approached, "Celestia, don't just stand there gawking. Introduce yourself to the young master."

"Huh? Oh, yes, Mr. Starswirl," Celestia answered, "It's a pleasure to meet you too. My name's Celestia Equestrius."

"So you're Celestia that Grandpa Starswirl's told me about. Wow, you're prettier than he said you were," Celestia blushed at the little boy's words, and he continued, "So you're going to be living here with us for awhile, right?"

Celestia nodded, "Yes, that's right."

Starswirl turned to Celestia, "Remember, Celestia. It is your duty to protect young Master Spike. I trust you can uphold your responsibility?"

"Yes, Mr. Starswirl." she assured.

"Very good. Now you two play nice." Starswirl chuckled, before leaving them.

"Wait, Mr. Starswirl." Celestia tried calling him back, was left alone with Spike who just smiled like the innocent child he was.

"And so from that day I was tasked with being Master Lupin's servant. Making sure he was happy and had what he needed. Though there were times I'd look at master's face and while he may have a smile on it, it didn't always look genuine. Almost like he was forcing it upon himself."

Celestia recalled the various times she assisted Spike during his academic studies by bringing him tea and snacks, protecting him from any potential threats like mean stray dogs, pickpockets, or bullies. But one night as Spike was sitting up in bed, Celestia who was sitting at his side looked concerned.

"Master, are you ok?" she asked in worry.

"I'm fine, Celly. But I'm just lonely."

"Lonely?" Celestia was confused.

"I love having you here with me, but you've always been acting like you're my servant and nothing more."

"Master, that is what I have been trained to be for you."

Spike turned to her with tears in his eyes, "But I don't want just a servant! I want a friend!" Celestia was taken aback by his words, as the little boy sniffled, "I've never had any real friends before. It's always just been me and my family. Why can't you just be my friend and my servant?"

"Master, I..."

"I-I just want someone to be with me for who I am," Spike sniffled, "Mom and dad are gone, and all I have is Grandpa Starswirl and you. But it's not enough." he buried his face into his knees.

Celestia looked at Spike seeing he may be the heir to the title of Dragon, but when it comes right down to it was just a little boy like any other child. Celestia breaking from her servant behavior reached over and pulled Spike into a hug, much to the little boy's surprise, "I'm so sorry. I know exactly how you feel."

"You do?" Spike asked.

"Loneliness. It's something I feel every day."

"It is?"

"Yes. I also had someone close to me, but lately she's been closing herself off. Even though she's still alive, but it feels like she's gone. You and I, Spike, we really do have much in common. That's why I want to keep you from experiencing the same feeling of loneliness as I have felt for such a long time. By being your friend." she said as the two faced each other.

"You'd be my friend?" Spike gasped.

"Yes."

Spike's eyes filled up with tears before throwing his arms around her, "Celly! I love you!"

Celestia felt her heart race from Spike's words as a blush grew on her face. She smiled and hugged him back, "And I love you too, Spike." she said.

"Since then things weren't as awkward between me and Master again," Celestia narrated, "We treated each other not just as a master and servant, but as friends as well. But that didn't last forever, for it was time Spike was to be taken to another state where he would finally be trained to be the master thief he was destined to be. And I was not permitted to join him for fear our friendship would distract him. With much reluctance I obeyed my order."

Spike stood next to Starswirl carrying a suitcase, "Are you sure you can't come with us?" Spike asked with sorrow.

"I'm terribly sorry, Master Spike. But it's an order." Celestia apologized.

"But will I ever see you again?"

"You will," she promised, "But, I want you to promise me something, ok?"

"Anything, Celly."

"Make some more friends. I don't want you to think I'm the only friend you'll need in life. Because there will be other times when I won't be there. Can you promise me you'll make some friends while we're apart."

"I promise, Celly. I promise you." Spike nodded with determination.

"That's my master." she patted his head. Celestia watched as Spike and Starswirl got in the limo and drove off.

"I hadn't seen Master for a number of years since that day. But I remembered it was my duty to be ready to serve my master whenever I was called in. Though I hadn't seen him in such a long time, he'd still send me letters about how his thief training was going, as well as his school life. When I read that he finally made friends, I was beaming with joy."

Celestia was sitting in her room reading a letter from Spike.

Dear Celly, how are you? I hope you're doing well. Me? I'm doing fabulous. Although my training to become the thief Dragon has been very tiring, it has made me more flexible and stronger. But enough about that. You'll be happy to know I made a friend on my first day at my new school. Her name is Twilight Sparkle. Yes, I know it's a girl, but that doesn't matter to me. We met by accidentally bumping into each other in the hall way. She immediately apologized and saw since I was knew around the school she'd show me around. Not wanting to be rude I accepted her offer. I was lucky to have heard I had quite a few classes with her, and couldn't believe she was the top of her entire classes. I might have some competition here.

During Lunch hour, Twilight introduced me to her five closest friends, who happen to be all girls. There's Jacquelyn Daniels, or Applejack as everyone refers to her as. She's part of this Apple Farm called Sweet Apple Acres, as I'm sure you know makes all the best Apple Treats in the world. Then there's this girl Pinkamena Dianne Pie, or Pinkie Pie is a barrel of laughs. She's a comedian, party planner, prank master, and baker. She can make a delicious cupcake. Another is Rarity Rivers. She's absolutely beautiful, no offense. She's a fashion diva always looking into the next big thing in fashion. She says she's aiming to be a clothes designer in the future. And to top it off, she's one of the most generous girls in school. Then there's Rainbow Dash. She is so awesome. She plays just about every sport in school, and she's better than most of the boys in my class. Although she does have a strong competitive sense, she is incredibly loyal to her friends. And finally there's Fluttershy Modesta, and her name says it all about her. But being shy never stops her from doting over anything she deems cute. One look at me and she couldn't stop hugging me. The kids like to call her the animal whisperer because she has this ability to translate what animals are really feeling.

These six girls have really made me feel welcomed at this school. Although I may not be in the same grade with them forever. My grades are at the top mark of the school, which Twilight struggles to keep up with. She actually considers me a friendly rival in the field of academics. Anyway with my perfect grades I may be moving up to a higher grade of education. Grandpa Starswirl's already planned to send me overseas to a fabulous institution called Crystal Academy after I get my diploma. But it must be done to further expand my growing mind. But I'll still keep in touch with my friends just as I have been with you. Hope to hear from you soon. Love your master and friend, Spike Lupin.

Celestia smiled to hear that her master was doing so well in school and socially. She looked in the envelope and saw a picture came with the letter. She looked and the picture was of Spike and the six girls he mentioned in his letter. She looked at the six and smiled, "They do look like a nice bunch of girls. And very pretty for their ages."

"We continued to exchange letters to keep each other updated on our statuses. But then one day I received a letter telling me it was time Master and I to partake in our first ever heist to Gladmane's Casino Resort in Las Vegas."

Celestia was in her uniform being a white and yellow gogo dancer styled outfit, and waiting for Spike to arrive. Soon enough she saw a limo pull up and stepping out was the boy she met years ago was now thirteen years old. He was taller, more built, and his hair looked a bit longer. The young man looked over at the young lady smiling, "Celly, it's so good to see you again."

Celestia gasped seeing Spike's smiling face, 'Is this really the little boy I met years ago?' she thought to herself, before smiling and answered, "Yes, Master. Good to see you again too." she bowed her head.

Spike spoke, "Well, come on. We got a heist to prepare for tonight."

"Yes, master." she confirmed.

That night outside the Las Vegas resort, Celestia stood next to Spike wearing the costume of Dragon in his size. Spike turned to Celestia, "All right, Celly. You know the plan, right?"

"Yes. I disable the security footage and hit the lights from the inside, allowing you to sneak in undetected."

"Correct. I mean if I were twenty I could get in there undercover myself, but this is the only way."

"I know, Master. Now tell me again what we're here for."

"Rings. Two of them."

"Rings?" Celestia wondered.

"Yes. And not just any rings. The wedding rings of my late Great-great-great-great Grandparents, Hermos and Tiamat."

"I see." Celestia answered, seeing the importance of the heist.

"If I can get the rings back in the name of them, they'll be at peace knowing their wedding rings are secure."

"Right. Well, time for me to get into character." Celestia said before slipping into a heavy fur coat to hide her costume.

"Let's go." Spike instructed, as the two headed for the casino.

As Celestia went into the casino, Spike himself was scaling up the building, while thinking, 'I can do this. I can do this.'

Inside the casino, Celestia was walking amongst the tourists and gamblers casually, while thinking, 'Blueprints of the building showed the security room would be on the third floor.' she entered an elevator and took it up.

When she arrived on the third floor she walked around before discovering an authorized personnel only marked door. She looked around making sure nobody was looking, before going to the door and entered the restricted area.

Back outside, Spike continued going up the building before glancing down seeing how high up he was, "Whoa!" he gasped, before calming down and spoke to himself, "Keep it together, Spike. Remember what you've been trained for," he continued climbing up. He finally reached the roof and panted, "Phys. Ed was my best class," he walked up to an air vent and opened it, "Ok. I'm going in." he climbed in and started crawling through the duct.

Meanwhile Celestia had found the security room, and upon entering saw there was one guard at the monitors. The lady knowing it was time to put all her years of training to work, tapped the guard's shoulder, "Excuse me, sir?"

The guard spun around and saw her, "Hey, you can't be back here, Ms."

"I'm so sorry. I must've gotten lost." she apologized.

"Alright, ma'am. You're coming with me." the guard got up, only to receive a karate chop to his neck knocking him out cold.

Celestia dragged him aside so he'd be out of sight before going to the control board, "I may not be as tech savvy as Luna is, but master is counting on me," she started shutting off the security cameras in the room. She went to the lights generator and shut it down putting the whole resort in the dark, "Yes!" she picked up a comlink, "Master, do you copy?"

Spike who was still crawling through the duct, answered his comlink, "I read you, Celly. What's the status?"

"Security is disabled and the lights are off."

"Good work. Just keep them like that as long as possible." Spike instructed.

"Yes, sir."

Spike made a turn through the duct before coming up on Gladmane's office which was vacant, "Good. Left it to check on the situation," he smirked, before opening the vent and dropped down. He looked around the office seeing the carpeting and curtains were sparkly, and hanging on the wall was a big face portrait of the man himself grinning with his big pearly whites flashing, "Ugh. I'd go blind if I'd have to look at that all day. Now where is it?" Spike continued to look around the office before spotting a safe, "Bingo!"

He walked to the safe and used his safe cracking skill to crack the safe combo. Once unlocked, he opened the safe to see two rings inside with one of them bearing a ruby and the other being an emerald, "There you two are. Time to take you home." he pocketed the two rings.

Back in the security room, Celestia was on guard until she heard the doors getting busted down, "Uh-oh. Looks like my time here is about done." she shed her coat and jumped up to the ceiling.

The doors broke down, as security entered, "No one's here." one said.

"Look." another picked up Celestia's coat.

"Vanished like a ghost." a third guard gasped.

"Come on let's get everything up and running again," another said, as they went to the control board to turn security back on. When the cameras were back online, they saw Spike in Gladmane's office, "Report to Mr. Gladmane, there's a breach in his office!" a few guards left, while Celestia who had been hanging above the door slipped out without any of the guards spotting her.

As she ran she picked up her comlink, "Master, you need to get out now! Security's back on. Soon the power will be too."

Spike who had been listening to her saw the lights in Gladmane's office suddenly came on, "It just did. You hurry and get out! I'll rendezvous with you at the spot."

"Roger." Celestia answered, as she took the stairs before going out an emergency exit.

Back in the office, Spike was about to escape, until the doors burst open and entering was Gladmane and his security, "Freeze!" one of the guards ordered.

Spike froze in place, but kept it cool. Gladmane eyed the young masked man before speaking, "Who do you think you are, boy?"

Spike decided to humor him by acting suave and cool, "I am the master of thieves, a fire of burning ambition, and hoarder of all valuable treasures. I am the Dragon."

Gladmane just gave him a dry look, "Am I supposed to be impressed with this? Because let me tell you, junior, I am not."

"Not even that I successfully cracked your safe in under seven seconds?" Spike inquired.

"What?" Gladmane gasped, as he looked and saw the open safe, "He has my engagement rings! Get him!"

The guards ran at Spike to apprehend him, but to their shock, Spike fought back. When one tried to grab him, he dodged and tripped him to the floor. Another tried to grab him from behind only to get elbowed in the gut and a fist to the face. Guard after after were sent to the floor, as Gladmane shouted, "Come on, you imbecile's! He's just a kid!"

"Hey, I'll have you know I'm just starting puberty!" Spike argued, before spin kicking a guards face. When he saw the guards started getting up he spoke, "You know how they say when you play with fire you get burned? Well, they weren't lying!" from the mouth piece of his mask came a stream of fire, making the security back away from the flames. The flame set off the sprinkler inside the office causing water to pour down. As the guards and Gladmane got drenched, Spike took out an exploding shuriken and threw it at the office window.

When a guard heard the shuriken beep he knew what that meant, "Hit the dirt!" they dove to the floor as the window exploded.

Spike spoke to the group, "Gotta go, bye!" he ran to the hole in the office and jumped out. Sprouting from his jacket was his glider wings, allowing to glide through the air.

Back inside the office, the whole room was wet from the sprinklers while Gladmane himself stood soaked and not the least bit happy. He stared at the large hole in his office before looking out it, "I've been robbed! Those were meant to be the engagement ring to my fiance!"

"Uh, sir." a guard spoke up nervously.

"What?!"

"He left you this." the guard presented Gladmane with a small white card.

Gladmane snatched the card and saw it was Dragon's calling card reading 'checkmate'. He crushed the card and screamed, "Dragon!"

As he flew he spoke to himself, "Man, I'm good!" he reached for his comlink and spoke into it, "Celly, mission accomplished. I got the rings and-" he started hearing several gunshots through his comlink, "Celly?!"

His servant's voice came back through the comlink, "Master...I'm trapped...they got me pinned..."

"Hold on, Celly! I'll get you out! Where are you!?"

"Master...leave me...you got what you came for and-"

"Not going to happen, Celestia! Where are you!?"

"Left side of the building, by the loading dock." another gunshot was heard.

"Celly!" Spike shouted as his eyes started burning with rage at the thought of anything happened to his friend. He shifted his glider wings around taking him back to the building.

Out by the loading dock, Celly was doing all she could to survive. She took a plenty of security guards, but when they started shooting at her, it was tiring her out. The young lady thought to herself, 'I have to keep strong for master!" suddenly she got shot with the bullet grazing her shoulder, "AH!" she dropped to her knee and clutched her shoulder to keep the blood from spilling.

The last five guard approached with one speaking into a walkie talkie, "Tell the boss we got the thief's accomplice. We're bringing her in." he was about to grab Celestia until a voice screamed.

"The hell you are!" Spike swooped in with his foot out and kicked the guard right in the face knocking him onto the pavement. The other four opened fire on him, but Spike dodged the bullets before grabbing the lid from a nearby trashcan and threw it like a boomerang knocking their guns out of their hands, "You mess with a dragon or his cherished ones, you get barbequed!" Spike shouted, as the mouth piece of his mask shot a fireball right at the guards, making them jump away as the ball of fire combusted.

While they were down, Spike went to his servant, "Celly, you're hurt."

"I'll be fine, master." she tried brushing it off.

"Don't be stupid," Spike replied, as he reached into his coat and pulled a rag out. He tied it tightly around the wound to stop the flow, "Come on, we're getting out of here," Spike got behind her and put his arms under her pits. From under his glider wings his jet booster activated launching him and Celestia off the ground and into the sky. Spike looked back at the casino and thought to himself, 'Mission accomplished.'

Later on, Spike and Celestia had gone to one of the Lupin family's safe houses in Vegas. There Celestia's shoulder was properly fixed up, and both she and Spike were meeting with Starswirl who looked disappointed, "Celestia, what happened to you out there?"

"Mr. Starswirl, I-"

"Have you forgotten it was your job to protect master Spike?"

"No, sir. I just-"

"How did you get hurt on the job?!" Starswirl demanded an answer.

Before Celestia could answer, Spike spoke up, "She got hurt by defending me!"

Both Starswirl and Celestia were taken aback by Spike's outburst, while Celestia thought in confusion, 'Master?'

Starswirl looked to Celestia, "Celestia, is this true?"

Celestia was lost for words, while not sure what to say, but saw a small smile on Spike's face signaling to play along, "Yes, Mr. Starswirl. Master was in the line of fire, so I took the bullet for him."

"I see..." Starswirl smiled, "Well, done, Celestia. Congratulations."

Celestia felt overjoyed to hear such praise coming from Spike's Grandfather before speaking, "Thank you, sir."

Starswirl turned to Spike, "And Spike. Were you successful?"

"Sure was." Spike reached into pocket and pulled out the rings.

"Excellent. Congratulations to both of you. You keep this up and you'll go down in history just like your predecessors."

"Thanks, Gramps. But I couldn't have done it without Celly's help." Celestia looked at Spike who smiled at her. Celestia felt flustered as she remembered that smiling face of his when he was just a little boy. She smiled to herself knowing Spike really was still the same Spike she met years ago.

Afterward Celestia was resting in bed, until Spike came in, "Hey." he greeted her, before taking a seat next to her bed.

Celestia answered, "Why did you do it, Master?"

"Do what?"

"You not only came back for me, but also covered for me. Why?" she asked with confusion.

Spike chuckled, "It's obvious, isn't it?" Celestia looked at him questionably, "It's because you're my friend, Celly. I'd never turn my back on my friends. Just as I know you never would."

"Master," she sat up, "Thank you so much."

Spike offered his hand out to her, "We're a team now, Celly. Let's be this way forever."

Celestia smiled with tears in her eyes before rubbing them away, "Yes, forever." she took his hand into hers.

"Hey, this calls for a commemorative picture." Spike suggested.

"A picture?" Celestia asked.

"Yeah. To commemorate our first heist together." he pulled out a digital camera and sat at Celestia's side with his arm around her. He took the picture and the two smiled, "I'll be sure to have a copy made for you, Celly."

"Thank you, Master."

Celestia's flashback ended, as she went to her room. She pulled out a photo album and skimmed through the picture memories of her life, before stopping on a page that had the picture Spike took of them years ago, "Master, we've come so far since that day. And with each new heist we both grew stronger, faster, and wiser. And it's thanks to you, I got my sister back," she turned to the next page seeing a picture of Spike in between both Celestia and Luna, "Luna." she smiled with a tear in her eye.
