The Girls of My Life 2: Old Flames and New Flames

One morning outside Spike's place, the young man was sitting on the porch while looking down the block right from left, as if he was expecting something, "Come on, what's keeping them so long?" he groaned.

Suddenly he heard the sound of rolling tires approaching, and looked down the block seeing a winnebago pulling up in front of his house. Spike got up and approached the vehicle, and the door opened up. Out from it came who else, but Spike's old buds from Canterlot, Snips, Snails, Featherweight, and Pipsqueak, "Spike-o!" the boys cheered.

"Ha-ha! You dirty rats!" Spike laughed, as he ran over and tackled them onto the lawn.

The boys laughed, before getting up, "Snips, Snails, Pip, and Featherweight," Spike began, "It may have only been a few weeks since we last saw each other, but..."

"Yeah. It feels like it's been ages." Pip agreed.

"So this is the neighborhood you used to live at?" Snails looked around.

"Uh-huh. It's not much, but it's home."

"I like it." Featherweight admitted.

"We got so much to catch up on." Snips said.

"Agreed." Spike nodded in confirmation, as Spike's mom poked her head out the door.

"Hi, boys!" she greeted.

"Hi, Mrs. D." the boys greeted.

"The boys and I are going into town, Mom. Be back later." Spike said, as he and his buds headed for town.

As they walked, the boys looked around, as Snips spoke, "You know this setting would make for a good Twilight Zone episode, if not a horror movie about a town that looks too peaceful to be normal."

"I can see that myself." Pip added.

"In a sense I sometimes think about that as well." Spike admitted, "So what've you guys been up to since we last met?"

"Well, Snails and I are dating Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon officially." Snips began.

"Seriously?" Spike asked in shock, "I mean I know D.T changed her attitude after finally standing up to her mom and her bad attitude, but she changed enough to want to date one of you guys?"

"Hey, surprised us too." Snails replied.

"Plus Silver was never really bad, just following Diamond's example." Snips added.

"Well, congrats, you guys," Spike fist bumped the two, before turning to Pip and Featherweight, "You guys got anyone on the go?"

Pip spoke up, "Actually, I'm seeing this incredibly attractive girl named Skystar. She's a bit perky and an airhead, but she is kind and incredibly beautiful."

"How'd you two meet?" Spike wondered.

"On the beach one day. She was collecting shells, and we both ended up picking up the same one, and that started the fire in our hearts." Pip explained.

"Nice," Spike said, as the two high fived. He turned to Featherweight and asked, "And you, Feather?"

"Afraid I got no one on the go." Feather sighed.

"Too bad, but hey, keep your chin up you'll find someone." Spike comforted him.

"Thanks, Spike."

"What about you Mr. Popularity?" Snips asked, "How's your long distance relationship with the Cuties going for you?"

"Not bad, actually. Granted there are times I wish they were right next to me." the green haired boy confessed.

"Well, at least your managing." Pip said.

'You have no idea,' Spike thought, until he looked ahead and saw Thorax coming out of a drugstore with a copy of the morning paper, "Oh, guys, come on!" he dragged his buds along, before calling out to his old friend, "Yo, Thorax!"

Thorax looked over at Spike and his boys approaching, "Hey, Spike!" he greeted.

Snips spoke to Spike, "Spike, who's this dude?"

"Guys, this is Thorax my childhood friends from this town. Thorax, these are my boys from Canterlot. That's Snips, Snails, Featherweight, and Pipsqueak."

Thorax looked at the group, "So you're the guys Spike's told me so much about."

"Spike talks about us?" Snails asked.

"All the time. Wow, Spike, this is certainly quite an entourage you had back in the city."

"I know. Me and my boys were a dream team." Spike said.

"And we still are." Snips put in.

"Hey, what say we go grab a bite?" Spike suggested.

"You know a place?" Featherweight asked.

"I know everyplace." he assured.

"Lead on." Pip said, as the boys followed Spike.

Later on the two were at the cafe sitting at a table eating burgers along with a big bowl of french fries in the middle. Each of them ate their burgers, as Snips spoke, "Man this is good. Well, Spike, you may not have Sugarcube Corner anymore, but this place is a good substitute."

"Yeah. I really miss the sweets there," Spike sighed, "Though how has the town been without me around?"

"Well, it could be worse." Pip answered.

"Yeah. I mean it's a bummer not having you to pal around with, but we're managing." Featherweight said.

"That's comforting." Spike said.

Thorax spoke, "Spike told me you guys have done a lot of stuff back when he lived in the city."

"We sure did." Snails admitted.

"Is it true, you guys actually do LARP in a junkyard?" Thorax inquired.

"Well, our first one was in a junkyard," Snips explained, "Afterward we started picking out other locations for different settings."

"Such as?" Thorax asked.

"Well, one time we held it in an old abandoned warehouse." Snips answered.

"We almost died there." Pip added.

"Died?" Thorax asked in confusion.

Spike answered, "Some of us neglected to notice the whole demolition notice schedule that day we were LARPing." he squinted at Snips and Snails.

"Hey, anyone could've missed that notice on the door." Snails protested.

"We're all just lucky we got out of there before the place blew." Pip said while recalling the memory.

"You didn't tell any of your folks this, did you?" Thorax asked Spike.

"Hell no! This secret is going with us to our graves." Spike answered.

"Speaking of graves, how about our Zombie Outbreak RP at the old Canterlot Hospital?" Snips asked.

"That was truly horrifying." Featherweight shivered.

"Oh, this I got to hear." Thorax said, as he took a fry and ate it.

Spike explained, "We decided to have another LARP at Canterlot's old hospital that was shut down decades ago and left to rot. The theme was Zombie Patient Outbreak. We were Role Playing as a bunch of survivors of an epidemic that left the hospital in ruins. Various patients and hospital staff members had turned into zombies and were out for flesh. We had to fight for survival while navigating our way out of the hospital."

"It was creepy of course, but it got scarier when we started hearing noises." Featherweight continued.

"At first we thought it was the plumbing or electrical problems, but the more we heard it the more concerned we got." Snips added.

"Soon enough we started bolting thinking we were really dealing with something supernatural." Snails explained.

"Once we got out we realized we were being followed by the buildings old caretaker who just wanted in on our game." Pip finished.

"None of us got any sleep that night." Spike put in.

"I can imagine." Thorax replied feeling creeped.

"Aside from our LARPing experiences we have had our share of regular guys nights from hanging out at one or the others place while his parents were out." Spike said.

"Parties, nights on the town. It was living it up." Snips said feeling nostalgic.

"We should do something like that here," Spike suggested, "There's still plenty of places to go at night."

"Oh, yeah?" Pip asked, but before Spike could explain a voice called out.

"Yo, Spike! Thorax!"

The group looked over and saw it was Ember accompanied by the rest of the girls, "Girls, hey!" Spike called, as they started walking over.

As the girls approached, Spike's pals looked at the group of females looking shocked, as Featherweight whispered to them, "Do you..."

"I see it to!" Snips squeaked, while his eyes were fixated on them.

The girls stopped, as Sunset spoke, "Looks like you two got a gathering here."

"We've never seen you four before." Sunshine spoke to Spike's pals.

"New in town?" Moonlight asked.

"Actually..." Pip trailed off, as Spike spoke up.

"These are my friends from Canterlot. This is Snips, Snails, Pipsqueak, and Featherweight," he turned to his friends, "Guys, these are some of my other friends from town I used to play with when I was a kid. This is Ember, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Moonlight Raven, Sunshine Smiles, and Moondancer."

"Hi." the four boys greeted in droning voices.

The girls were confused by the boys tones, until Spike continued, "They came out to see me, because they had free time and we haven't seen each other since we moved."

"Exactly." Pip spoke up trying to sound normal.

"So you knew our bud Spike since you were kids, huh?" Snips asked.

"Oh, yeah. Ever since he was such a little guy." Ember playfully ruffled his head.

"Ember, please! I'm not a little guy anymore." Spike pouted.

"But you'll always be that to us." Sunshine smiled brightly.

"Girls." Spike groaned feeling embarrassed.

"Must've been surprising to have seen Spike again after all these years." Snails guessed.

"It was a shocker." Starlight admitted.

"We had no idea the kid we used to play with back then would grow up to be this." Moondancer motioned to Spike.

"Right." Featherweight replied.

"Well, we'll catch up with you later, ok, Spike?" Sunset asked.

"Ok, see you, girls." Spike replied, as the girls left.

When it was just them, Spike's boys turned their attention towards him and leaned over, "What was that about?" Pip asked suspiciously.

"What was what?" Spike asked sounding nervous.

"Six total hotties that remind us of the Cuties back home used to be your childhood friends?" Snips began.

"And are acting chummy with you now?" Snails asked.

"Is there something you'd like to share with us, Spike?" Featherweight asked suspiciously.

Spike looked around and whispered, "Not here, ok?" the boys backed down knowing this wasn't the best place to interrogate Spike.

Later on at the winnebago, Spike, Thorax, and the boys were hold up in it away from prying eyes. They made sure the doors were locked and the windows closed with the blinds down, "All right, we got our privacy." Snips began.

"So what's going on here, Spike?" Snails asked.

"As I said, they're old friends of mine when I was a kid. Thorax back me up here."

"It's true." Thorax confirmed.

"How coincidental is it they they seem to remind us of the Canterlot Cuties from back home?" Snips asked, "Your six lovers, Spike? Ring any bells?"

"Of course, Snips. I haven't forgotten them."

"Well, those girls seemed to be acting awfully chummy with you, and it didn't look like just friends field." Pip noted.

"Well..." Spike began before whispering, "Can you four keep this secret to yourselves and when we hit the grave?"

"Yeah." they answered.

Spike sighed, "The truth is... I did feel very close to them as kids. Before Twilight and the others came into my life they were the only girls I had."

"Even before you moved to the city, you were already a ladykiller?" Featherweight asked in disbelief.

"I guess." Spike smiled sheepishly.

"Once again the world ain't fair to us." Snips sighed.

"What're you complaining about now? You're not single anymore." Spike reminded him.

"Still... None of us has ever had multiple women chase after us."

"How close have you gotten with them since you moved back here?" Snails inquired.

Spike was once again nervous and looked to Thorax hoping to get some advice, but all he got was a shoulder shrug. Spike knowing there was no way to lie his way around his boys, answered, "I've actually had sex with each of them." The four boys were wide eyed, before shouting.

"WHAT?!"

"You had sex with all six of those sexy girls?" Snips asked in shock.

"How many times?" Pip demanded.

"Once each, I swear."

"So have you just started this?" Snails asked.

"Yes. But it's not a regular thing."

"Do they know you slept with each of them?" Featherweight asked.

"No. At least I never told them. Not sure if they'd actually tell each other." Spike wondered.

"Do they even know about the Cuties?" Pip inquired.

"No way! And they must never know." Spike warned them.

"You realize you've slept with other girls when you have the Canterlot Cuties?" Snips asked.

"I know! But I haven't seen those six girls since I was a kid. I only knew them as little girls and we were just friends. When I moved back and saw them again like this I started seeing them as more than childhood friends I used to play with. I started seeing them as women, and these feelings and emotions just erupted and I had to do something!" Spike cried.

The boys started calming down when they got everything out of their systems. Snips spoke up, "All right, now that we're calmer, can I ask you this?"

"What?" Spike asked.

"How were they in the sack?"

Spike answered, "They're amazing. Total cougars. But Ember, she loves to be dominant. I mean I've dealt with dominance from Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy before in that situation, but Ember is like... Wow!"

"What about that Moondancer?" Pip asked, "Why would she be wearing such a heavy sweater?"

"To hide her sweater puppies." Spike whispered.

"What size?" Snips and Snails demanded.

"My guess from merely looking at her, a G cup."

The four looked ready to have a heart attack, "Are you serious?" Featherweight asked.

"Dead serious." Spike assured.

"What about those twins?" Snails asked, "Do they know you..."

"I did them both together," Spike confessed, "They have that kind of open sister relationship being twins and all."

"Dammit, I would love to score with twins." Snips grumbled.

"What about Sunset and Starlight?" Featherweight asked.

"Sunset and I had sort of an odd relationship."

"Odd how?" Pip asked.

"Despite how much she liked me, she'd like to be rough and aggressive with me. Nothing violent, but still when I was that age it sometimes rubbed me the wrong way. But I eventually realized that was her way of showing affection."

"That is odd." Snips agreed.

"And Starlight?" Snails asked.

Spike sighed, "She was actually suffering fro a heartbreak prior to my return."

"Heartbreak?" Featherweight asked.

"Was she dumped?" Snips inquired.

"No. The guy she did love... was killed."

"Whoa." The boys gasped, as Thorax answered.

"It's all true. She was dating a guy from their class named Sunburst, but before high school graduation he was in an accident. It really tore her up for awhile even though she moved on from it, she still thinks about him a lot."

"When I found out I had to comfort her and with some words of wisdom she finally gained the full closure she needed and that led to our love moment."

The boys smiled, "Once again, Spike. I envy how you know exactly how to handle women in any situation." Pip said.

"It's a talent." he replied.

"So this is the kind of conversations you guys would have back in Canterlot?" Thorax asked the boys.

"More or less, at least during Junior High we never talked about making love or anything since none of us got that far in a relationship." Featherweight explained.

"Except Spike here." Snips patted the boys shoulder.

"Yeah. Man I missed these group conversations," Spike sighed, before continuing, "But like I said before, this is our secret, ok? Twilight and the girls must never find out about this ever. Not even the girls here can know about them."

"You have our word, Spike." Snails promised.

"Good."

"So, boys. Any ideas what we should do tonight for our first day visit?" Pip asked.

The boys pondered, as Spike gasped, "I got it! What say we have us a LARP here in town?"

The group was curious, as Snips asked, "DO you know of a good setting?"

"I sure do. Wanna join in, Thorax? We could use another comrade."

"Sure. I needed a reason to get out of the house anyway. My brother and his girlfriend will be there and he prefers me not being there when they come home." Thorax answered.

"Then gather around, boys. Because tonight, we're gonna LARP like never before." Spike said, as the boys huddled up to hear the plans for tonight.
