After escaping the haunted hotel, the group of students were on their way home, but they decided to stop at the local playground that was vacant and no one could disturb them. They got out of the truck and sat around the jungle gym, with Spike and the Dazzlings standing before the group, with Twilight looking very stern.

“So, you all wanna explain to us how this all happened?” she asked her brother and the trio.

Adagio spoke up, “Well, Twilight, as you know that day when Spike fell off the ship he could've drowned, but we saved his life.”

“I appreciate that, but what is this talk of him being betrothed to you?”

“Yeah. If there's going to be a wedding I want all the info so I can cater to it,” Pinkie added, until everyone gave her a look, “What?”

Aria answered, “We merfolk can see the good and bad in people. And we saw your brother was a kind soul. And we could tell he was raised by kind people.”

“So we mate marked him officially making him our future husband.” Sonata finished.

“Mate marked?” Fluttershy asked.

“This,” he showed everyone the mark on his right shoulder, “We all thought some random fish bit me when I almost drowned, but it was them marking me.”

“But there's only one,” Rarity noticed, “Shouldn't you have three of those if all three marked you?”

Adagio answered, “My sisters and I combined our energies so only one of us needed to mark him on behalf of all three of us .”

“So you coming to school all this time was just to find Spike?” Rainbow asked.

“That, and we always wanted to see the surface world.” Sonata answered.

“Plus, Spike's marriage to us is essential to our people.” Aria added.

“Essential?” Silverstream asked.

The trio nodded, “Our kind is under the threat of extinction after so many years of being sought out and hunted by others, and becoming prey by other ocean dwellers.” Adagio explained.

“And you can't repopulate with any mermen?” Smolder asked in confusion.

“We can, but none of them back home are appealing to us.” Sonata replied.

“Point is, Spike is our future mate. As is the law of the ocean.” Adagio told the group.

The group was in shock, until Aria turned to Lyra, Bonbon, and Moondancer, “Although what you three said back in the hotel about loving Spike. What exactly did you mean by that?”

“And don't tell us it was a spur of the moment.” Adagio added, while sounding suspicious.

Twilight and the others were also curious, until each of them confessed, “I really meant it.” Moondancer admitted.

“So do we.” Lyra said on behalf of herself and Bonbon.

“And since when were you three suddenly into him?” Adagio asked while crossing her arms.

“When we asked if he liked to go out with us.” Bonbon said for herself and Lyra.

“And me.” Moondancer answered.

The trio turned to Spike in shock, “Spike, you were seeing other girls behind our backs?” Aria asked sternly.

“I thought it was just between friends.” Spike answered in defense.

“Well, they sure seem to have more than 'friends' on the mind.” Sonata noted.

Twilight interrupted them, “Alright! Point is, Spike, you can't seriously be willing to accept this, are you?”

“I admit I was shocked at all this when they told me, Twilight. And they agreed that we can't get married now. So we just started as boy and girlfriends. Wow I feel weird saying that last word so casually.”

“Spike, I don't think you should be associating with the Dazzlings anymore.” Twilight spoke.

“What?” the trio gasped.

“That's not fair!' Sonata argued.

“Who're you to tell Spike who he can or cannot see?” Aria argued as well.

“An older sister who wants what's best for her little brother.”

“Sounds more like you only want what's best for you.” Adagio squinted.

“And that's to not let Spike be happy.” Sonata continued.

“That is not true. Don't try to twist my words.” Twilight argued, until Spike broke them up.

“That's enough!” he turned to Twilight, “Twilight, I love you like a sibling would. But this is my choice. And I chose to be with them. Sure I'm still concerned about this whole marriage between them, but I got to know these three better and quite frankly I think they're awesome mermaid or not. Because if it weren't for them I wouldn't have survived being killed by two Hidebehinds, a Gumberoo, a Wendigo, and a few minutes ago a poltergeist. But if you can't see that then that's your problem.”

The group was stirred by what Spike said, as the boy turned to A.J, “Thanks for the lift, but I think I'll walk home the rest of the way.” he started walking off.

“Spike.” Twilight called to him.

Spike turned back and spoke, “And don't think about telling this to mom or dad, because you know as well as I do they won't believe it.” he continued on.

Twilight watched, as her brother walked home into the night, as Moondancer spoke up, “I should probably go my own way too.” she took off.

“As should we.” Lyra said, as Bonbon spoke to A.J.

“Thanks for driving us this far.” the two besties took off.

“We better go too.” Adagio said, as she and her sisters left giving Twilight one last disappointed look.

Twilight looked around seeing the seven go their separate ways, and spoke to her friends, “Did I take it too far?”

“We know you was just looking out for Spike, Twi.” Applejack admitted.

“But you really didn't have to act like you were his keeper telling him who he could and couldn't speak with.” Rarity added.

“Sure he and the Dazzlings never told us who they really were, but hey it could've been worse.” Rainbow noted.

“Yeah, the Dazzlings could've been succubi instead,' Pinkie put in, before muttering, “Which would probably be better for Spike.”

“We know you care about, Spike, Twilight, but you can't keep him from doing everything you don't approve.” Fluttershy said.

The younger students felt awkward having to just listen to them, and Smolder spoke up, “I don't know about you guys, but I'm out of here.” Smolder said, as she took off.

“It past Yona's bedtime, anyway.” Yona agreed before leaving.

“I'm beat myself.” Sandbar took off.

“See you later, girls.” Silverstream left.

“And good luck working this out.” Gallus told Twilight, before leaving.

“Bye.” Ocellus left.

Twilight sighed, “What do I do now?”

“Well, you can't go talk to Spike again right now he's far too upset.” Pinkie reminded her.

“Just give him some space, Sugarcube. He'll come around eventually.” Applejack suggested.

“I hope so.” Twilight sighed sadly, as the girls got back in the truck, and Applejack drove everyone back home.

In Spike's bedroom, the boy was recalling all that happened tonight and sighed, “Great, the three girls I'm supposedly betrothed to have revealed who they are, my sister doesn't approve, and now my three other older female club mates have the hots for me. God this sucks big time.” not wanting to worry about it anymore, he decided to just turn in for the night and worry about it later.

The next day was dark and rainy, and at Lyra's place she and Bonbon were sitting around still stirred by what happened last night after their haunted hotel exploration, “You think our confessing drove a wedge between Spike and the Dazzlings, or even us and Spike?” Lyra asked her friend.

“I don't know, Lyra. I mean we couldn't keep that secret about loving Spike forever.” bonbon answered, as Lyra sighed.

“I know. It was bound to slip out eventually. I just wish the timing wasn't so hectic.”

The two suddenly heard a knock at the door. Lyra got up and answered it, seeing the Dazzlings and a sheepish Moondancer standing outside, “Girls, what's going on?” Lyra asked, as Adagio answered.

“We have to talk.” Bonbon and Lyra could tell from Adagio's tone and her sisters stern expressions they meant business.

Meanwhile Spike was sitting in a booth at a local diner by himself. Despite the weather being messy he didn't want to be at home with Twilight there. He sat down eating his burger and fries while enjoying a shake.

He sighed and thought to himself, 'Why does my life have to be so complicated. Especially if it involves women?'

He was suddenly brought out of his thoughts, by familiar voice, “Hey, Spike!” Spike looked up and saw his friends Pip, Tender, and Featherweight were by the cafe entrance wearing rain jackets and umbrellas. After shaking their umbrellas dry and bound them up they went to the booth.

“Guys, what's up?” he asked.

“We went to your place to see you, but you weren't there.” Tender began.

“Twilight told us you were going out, but you didn't tell her where.” Pip added.

“Luckily we knew you'd come here even on a dismal day like this.” Featherweight finished.

“Nothing gets past you guys.” Spike said dryly, before eating a fry.

“So is something up?” Pip asked, “Twilight looked really depressed when we asked about you.”

“Good, at least the guilt is finally sinking into her.” Spike replied.

“Guilt?” Featherweight asked.

“Did something happen between you two?” Tender asked.

“It's hard to explain.”

“How's that?” Pip wondered.

“Look. There's a lot of crazy stuff involved, and you won't believe me if I tell you.”

“Try us.” Featherweight took the challenge.

Spike tired of keeping secrets confessed about the Dazzlings, the club activities, and what went down between him and everyone last night, “So there you go.” he finished.

The boys were in shock, while Pip blinked his eyes, “So you're engaged to a trio of mermaids.” he began.

“Moondancer, Lyra, and Bonbon also have the hots for you.” Tender continued.

“And you and your clubs have really been dealing with monsters?” Feather finished.

“Yes. You can laugh now, I won't blame you.” Spike answered, while feeling too down to care.

“Well, actually, Spike... We believe you.” Tender admitted.

Spike did a double take, “What? You do?”

“Yeah. I mean you sounded so damn sure.” Pip added.

“And what would you have to gain by making up something like that?” Feather asked.

“Nothing.”

“Plus I always felt something enchanting about the Dazzlings.” Feather admitted.

“Yeah. Well, I doubt I’ll be able to see them again.” Spike grumbled.

“Hey, Twilight may be your sister, but what right does she have to tell you who you can and can't see?” Pip asked.

“I know, but still with all that's happen. I don't know what's going to happen next.” Spike said, until he heard his phone ring. He checked his messages and gasped.

“What is it?” Feather asked.

“It's from Lyra. She wants me to meet her and Bonbon at her place.” he explained.

The boys were curious, “Did she say why?” Pip asked.

“No.” Spike answered.

“Are you going to go?” Tender inquired.

“I'm not sure. I mean with all that's happened. I don't know if I should be around those two or even Moondancer.”

“Spike, you can't hide from them forever.” Feather warned him.

“Sooner or later you have to face this all.” Pip added.

Spike right, “Right. Ok, I'll go.”

“Good luck.” the boys said, as they left Spike. Spike paid for his order and left the diner.

He walked to Lyra's place and rang the bell. Lyra opened the door, “Spike, come in.” she showed him inside so he could dry off, “Sounds like it's coming down out there.” she noticed.

“You bet it is.” Spike confirmed.

Lyra brought Spike into the living room where Bonbon was waiting with Moondancer, “Spike.” they greeted.

“Girls,” he greeted back, before speaking to Lyra, “Ok, I'm here. So what?”

“We need to talk about our relationship.” Lyra began.

“Relationship?” Spike asked in confusion.

“That's right. After we confessed we can't pretend it happened.” Moondancer stated.

“So all six of us have come to an agreement.” Bonbon finished.

“Wait? Six of us?” Spike looked around seeing it was just the three of them and him.

Stepping into the living room was the Dazzlings, “Hello, Spike.” they greeted.

Spike yelped, “Girls! Uh, what're you doing here?”

“We gathered the girls over here to discuss the matter of your heart.” Aria explained.

“Really?”

“Yes. And we've all come to an agreement.” Sonata put in.

“What agreement?”

Adagio spoke, “We've accepted that Lyra, Bonbon, and Moondancer have fallen for you, and we're willing to share you with them.”

“Wait. You what?” the boy asked flabbergasted, “You just agreed like that?”

“Actually, we did a lot of debating over what to do.” Bonbon explained.

“We debated until we came to this agreement.” Moondancer added.

Spike turned to the Dazzlings, “But I'm Mate Marked thanks to you girls.”

“Yes, but the truth is it only applies to us by our Merpeople Law. It doesn't mean you still can't find love with those on land.” Adagio explained.

“Sweet loophole, huh?” Sonata smiled.

Spike looked back and forth between the Dazzlings, and his older clubmate girls, “You all are seriously ok with wanting to share me?”

The girls nodded, “We will if you'll have us.” Bonbon answered, as she Lyra, and Moondancer were curious about his answer.

Spike looked to the Dazzlings who smiled and nodded. Spike feeling more confident smiled and answered, “Well, Lyra, Bonbon, Moondancer. If you three really want me even though I'm betrothed to three mermaids, I would gladly accept your love. However, I don't wanna have to see all six of you bicker senselessly every time I'm seen with either one of you. Even though I know there will be times where you may get on each others nerves when it'll concern me, you must remember this. I have enough love for all of you.”

The six girls smiled knowing how right he was, “Thank you, Spike.” Lyra said, ad Bonbon and Moondancer smiled.

Adagio spoke, “So then, how about we seal our deal with Spike and make it official between us all?”

“I'm down with that.” Bonbon answered.

“Same.” Moondancer agreed.

Spike was suddenly confused again, “What do you mean seal our deal?”

“Oh, I think you already know what it means, Spike.” Aria smirked, as all six girl started removing their clothes one piece at a time, much to Spike's shock.

“Whoa-whoa. You wanna do this here? But, Lyra, your parents.”

“Are out right now.” she replied.

“Trust us, Spike. After what we've been through you'll probably need this more than us.” Sonata said, as the girls were all finally naked.

Spike looked in awe at the six girls who just revealed their naked bodies to him. He gazed lustfully at the six enormous pairs of breasts on full display and deep down wanted them. The girls went to Spike, as Adagio spoke, “Now it's your turn.” the girls started undressing him, until he was in his birthday suit like the rest of them.

Adagio kissed Spike, while Aria and Sonata made him fondle their racks. Moondancer gave Spike a kiss as well, before smothering his face into her bosom. Both Lyra and Bonbon performed a three way kiss, while rubbing their bodies against his. Sonata and Aria then took their turns to kiss Spike, before Lyra spoke, “Spike, we all love you so much.” the girls nodded in confirmation.

Spike smiled, “I love you girls too.” And with that the seven of them engaged in what was probably the best orgy Spike could've ever dreamed of in his sexual fantasies.

Sometime later, Spike returned home, and saw Twilight sitting down as if she was waiting for him, “Spike, can we talk, please?” she asked.

Spike not wanting to give her the cold shoulder any longer decided to hear her out, “Sure.” he sat down beside her.

“I wanted to tell you I'm sorry,” she confessed, as Spike looked at her in surprise, “It was all so much to take in, and I said things without hearing what you truly thought about all this. I was acting more like a mom than a sister. And I'm not your mom. I still find it hard to believe you have three mermaids who've labeled you as their lover, and that three of my classmates also have it in for you. But that's all for you to deal with. It's not my place to meddle in it. Could you ever forgive me?”

Spike deciding to not hold onto such a grudge smiled and spoke, “Hey, that's what siblings are for right?”

“Yeah.” Twilight smiled, and the two embraced, “By the way, how are you going to handle having six admirers. Especially since three of them already have you marked for marriage?”

“Actually, I just came back from talking with them about it.” he answered.

“And?”

“All six of them have decided to share me.”

“What?” Twilight asked in shock.

“I know. I wasn't expecting this, but they agreed to share me. And I for one ain't complaining. Because I'd prefer that over a slaughter fest between them.”

Twilight rolled her eyes and giggled, “Spike, I swear what am I going to do with you?”

“Just love me like a sibling should.” he replied, and the two laughed.

When Monday morning came, Spike was walking with Twilight and her friends, as Spike narrated, “And so now all six girls have confessed that they're into me. And I'm relieved we don't have to keep the secret about the Dazzlings being mermaids anymore.”

The Dazzlings, Bonbon, Moondancer, and Lyra came around the corner and smother Spike with affectionate hugs and kisses much to Twilight's annoyance, and the other girls amusement and shock. After school Spike was waving bye to his boys, before walking to the club room, “The Club is still active, and now that we know we have mermaid allies to help us in our researcher Lyra is ten times as excited as before. And now we do more than just study creatures or simply go on mere explorations on certain sightings. Now we make it our personal mission to find any dangerous creatures lurking about in the city and deal with them. I mean we're a Cryptid Club after all.”

Spike entered the club room where everyone else was gathered. He high fived Sandbar and Gallus, before sitting down with everyone else eager to know what their next big case or exploration was going to be. Spike looked at his six admirers and they smiled at each other.

Author's Note

Don't think this is over just yet. Things are just beginning now that the Dazzlings secret is out, and more creatures are out there for them to find and hunt. See you all next time.
