One afternoon at school, Spike was hanging with his buds in the hall way during a free period, "This has been quite a day, hasn't it?" Spike asked his friends.

"Yeah, a surprise quiz by Ms. Cheerilee, extra laps in Coach Iron Will's class, and the list goes on." Pip sighed.

"When I get home I'm doing nothing but vegging out on my couch." Tender said.

"Sounds like a good idea." Feather agreed.

"If only I could do the same, but quite frankly my days haven't been so to myself." Spike explained.

"What does Twilight have you running to the dollar store to get more pens and pencils?" Tender asked rhetorically.

"Don't be ridiculous," Spike replied, "She has a years worth of each."

"So then what's got you so tired?" Pip asked.

"And don't say it's because of-" Tender was interrupted by Spike.

"Club activity, and not to mention Adagio, Aria, and Sonata, following me around like love sick puppies."

"I thought they're more like smitten kittens." Feather said.

"Call them whatever you want, but one thing's for sure the more they spend with me the more envious glares I receive from the older male student body."

"Sucks to be you." Tender said.

"I know." Spike sighed.

"Come on, we better get to our next class." Pip said, as the boys headed for their next period.

When school let out, Spike left the building only to get grabbed from behind by Sonata, "Hi, Spike!" she cheered.

"Sonata." he greeted her.

"Whatcha doing?" she asked slyly.

"Nothing, I was just planning on heading home."

"What? That's no fun." Sonata whined.

"Well, what do you suggest I do?" he asked rhetorically.

"How about you come grab a taco with me?" she offered.

"A taco?" Spike asked, before pondering, "Well, we haven't eaten since lunch. So I guess I could join you for one."

"Yes!" she cheered, before grabbing his hand, "Let's go!" she dragged him along.

"Hey, don't drag me!" he protested, while trying to keep up with her.

Soon the two were at a Taco take out joint, while sitting at a booth enjoying a taco each, "Mm, so delicious." Sonata salivated, "Did you know the taco was the first human food I ever tried when me, Adagio, and Aria came to the surface world?"

"I had no idea. No wonder you're so hooked on them." Spike noted.

"I especially love Taco Tuesdays, where taco's are half off or have other great deals."

"Gotta love deals," Spike admitted, "You know Sonata, you're much easier to get along with than Adagio and Aria."

"Are you saying you don't get along with them?" Sonata asked in worry.

"Oh, no, I get along with them ok. I'm just saying you're more easy going and happy."

Sonata smiled, "Thank you. It's not always easy getting along with Aria and Adagio. Mostly because I've always been regarded as the baby of the group."

"The baby?" Spike asked.

"Adagio and Aria always treated me like the baby of the group because I don't always know as much as they do or they don't think I'm as mature as they are."

"Hey, that's how siblings are," Spike admitted, "Take a look at me, I have an older sister and a brother. And each one likes to tease me on various occasions."

"So I've noticed with you and Twilight."

"But you know no matter how many times we treat each other like pests, we still love each other. And I'm sure no matter how many times your sisters may treat you like a nuisance they still love you to."

Sonata nodded, "Yeah. They were always there for me whenever I was bullied by others."

"Older siblings, you can't live with or without them." Spike joked.

"And that's a fact." Sonata laughed followed by Spike.

Later the two exited the Taco place, as Spike spoke, "You gonna be all right finding our way back?"

"Of course. Trust me no matter how many times Adagio and Aria have asked me that before I always find my way."

"I'll take your word for it." Spike said.

Sonata smiled, and kissed Spike's cheek, "We should really get together more often when it's just the two of us, Spike."

"Uh, right." Spike answered.

"Well, see you around." Sonata said, as she skipped off happily with herself. Spike couldn't help but smile at her before he started for home as well.

The next day after school, Spike was walking to the club room, "Lyra said there would be a big surprise today. Can't wait to see what that surprise is." he said sarcastically to himself.

So Spike opened the door to the club room and entered. Upon stepping inside he saw not only the other six members of the club, but six more figures in the room with them. The group consisted of four girls and two boys, all who appear to be the same grade and age as Spike. Spike looked at the six new students in confusion, "What the?"

"Ah, Spike, you made it," Lyra said, as she walked over to him and brought him forward, "Some exciting news. We have six new members joining the club today!" she cheered.

"Six?" he asked in disbelief.

"That's right. May I introduce you to Gallus," she began introducing them

Gallus was a boy with light blue hair with golden yellow tips. He was wearing sneakers, jeans, and a yellow short covered by a blue jacket. The boy turned to Spike and spoke, "Sup, man?"

"Smolder."

Smolder was one of the girls, wearing sandals, orange pants, a red shirt, and had moderate cerise colored hair, "How's it going?" she asked.

"Yona."

Yona was a stout girl with brown hair and long bangs tied in pink bows. Her attire included sneakers, jeans, and a tan blouse, "I'm so glad to meet a another club member!" she declared.

"Ocellus."

Ocellus was the third girl with short pink hair, and her attire was composed of red sneakers, a red skirt, and a light blue blouse. The girl looked at Spike timidly before waving, "Hi."

"Sandbar."

Sandbar was the second boy with a mix of bluish green and light green hair, and his clothing was composed of sneakers, jean shorts, and a yellowish green shirt, "Nice to meetcha."

"And finally, Silverstream." Lyra finished.

Silverstream was the tallest among the new members, and last of the girls. She wore slip on shoes, jeans, a pinkish purple shirt, and her hair was colored aqua and arctic blue. She ran to Spike and started shaking his hand, "Ohmygosh! I am so happy to meet you, Spike Sparkle. Lyra, Bonbon, Adagio, and the others have said nothing but great things about you. Aside form the fact you were the only boy in this club. Well, until now that is." she giggled.

"Thanks. I guess." Spike said, while recovering from dizziness.

"Now we have a total of thirteen members in our club," Moondancer began, "And with this many, we won't have to worry about the club being removed from lack of members."

"Which is good news for us." Aria said.

Spike looked at the six new students, "Why have you six suddenly decided to join the Cryptid Club?"

"Well, we each transferred in a few days ago." Sandbar began.

"And we were each looking for some after school activity." Smolder added.

"Unfortunately all other clubs and groups were filled." Ocellus put in.

"Then we see flyer for Cryptid Club." Yona continued.

"We went to see Lyra about it and she signed us all up as members." Gallus said.

"So here we are." Silverstream smiled.

"And do you believe in what this club studies?" Spike asked.

"I do." Silverstream answered.

"I'm curious about this and decided to check it out." Sandbar said.

"Same here." Gallus agreed.

"Unbelievable." Spike said flabbergasted.

"Come on, team let's celebrate!" Lyra cheered.

"I'm down with that." Sonata agreed.

"Then let's party!" Adagio declared, as everyone started celebrating.

Spike looked around and couldn't help but smile, and thought, 'I hope these six will be prepared if we happen across another monster or something.'

"Spike come on!" Bonbon called.

"Group picture time!" Lyra announced.

Spike went over the the group and joined them for a group picture that was eventually hung in the club room. In the picture, Spike was in the center with the Dazzlings sitting or standing close to him.

Author's Note

So now the Club has a total of thirteen members. With the introduction of the six new characters in the show I should incorporate them here.
