Spike looked back and forth between the two groups of girls, who were not looking pleased, “Well, Spike, we're all ears.” Twilight said sternly.

Spike nervously spoke up, “Yes, these girls were my friends when I was a kid, but I didn't tell you about them because I was afraid you'd get jealous. And I didn't tell them about you because it would've looked like I replaced them in my life.”

“Has anything gone on between you and them physically?” Twilight asked suspiciously.

Before Spike could answer, Sunshine spoke up, “Yeah. He made love to each of us.”

Spike's eyes widened, as the cuties turned to him, and shouted, “WHAT?!”

“Really, it was a spur of the moment when it happened!” he pleaded.

“It didn't look like a spur when you did it with any of us.” Moonlight noted.

Rarity frowned at the Ponyville girls, “You harpies have seduced our Spikey-Wikey!”

“Hey, we can't help it if he has better tastes than he did back in the city.” Ember answered all smug.

“Oh, you did not just say that.” Rainbow frowned.

“Spike is ours!” Pinkie declared.

“He was ours before you girls even knew him!” Sunset argued.

“At least we were his first time.” Applejack counted.

“That's right.” Fluttershy agreed with a nod.

“So you girls think you're so much better for Spike than we are?” Moondancer inquired.

“Maybe we are.” Rainbow answered all smug.

“Ok, there's only one way to settle this.” Ember began.

“I couldn't agree more.” Twilight agreed as if she knew what Ember was thinking.

Spike looked back at the two sides nervously, as Rainbow spoke up, “It's a six-way face off. Winning team becomes the official harem to Spike Drake. So you girls, better bring your A-game.”

“Consider it brought.” Sunset answered.

Spike spoke to himself, “Why did it come to this?”

Soon enough the group had set up a contest in the park, where all twelve girls would compete in a series of contests where the winning team would be Spike's true harem. Spike unable to talk them out of this could only sit back and watch as the girls he grew up with were about to clash.

“Ok, girls, this is it.” Twilight told her group, “For Spike.”

“For Spike!” They cheered.

Ember spoke to her group, “We're not letting these girls take our childhood friend from us, are we?”

“Never!” they answered with determination.

Spike watched and sighed, “I should enjoy this, but I can't.”

The first contest was underway in the subject of intelligence, and the two girls competing were Twilight and Moondancer. Spike was roped into being the one to read off several questions from math to science, and the two each raced to be the first to answer before the time ran out. Spike himself couldn't believe just how smart these two girls were, and wondered how they would’ve been if they had met at a younger age. When time ran out they tallied up the points and victory was given to Twilight. The cuties cheered, while Moondancer looked down in shame.

“I am a disgrace to scientific research as a whole.” she said sadly to herself.

Ember put a hand to her shoulder and comforted her, “Don't worry, Moondancer. It's not over yet.”

“Yeah. It's only beginning.” Moonlight assured her.

Moondancer smiled, “Thanks, girls.”

“Let's get the second contest over with.” Rainbow said.

The next challenge was a battle of dancing, and the two chosen were Starlight and Fluttershy. Pinkie Pie played some dance music on her phone, and the two started dancing. The girls cheered their friends on while Spike despite hating to watch was still finding their performance to be entertaining. Both Fluttershy and Starlight were determined to keep to the beat and not fall. Unfortunately for Fluttershy she started getting too dizzy and collapsed, thus granting Starlight victory.

Fluttershy whimpered, “I'm sorry, girls. I tried.”

“Making an effort is about all anyone can do.” Applejack comforted her.

“And you made a lot of effort.” Pinkie cheered. Fluttershy smiled with renewed spirits, as Spike smiled at the group.

The next contest was in a battle of speed with Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer at a starting mark, with the aim to race around the park, “Don't cramp up, Dash.” Sunset sneered.

“Cramps? Ha! Never had one.” Rainbow boasted.

Twilight started the countdown before announcing, “Go!” and with that the two took off running.

Rainbow and Sunset ran around the park neck in neck, while making sure to dodge anybody who was walking by, or leaping over benches like parkour.

Rainbow called to Sunset as she tried pulling away, “Give it up, Sunset, these legs of mine were made for running. And when this contest is over I'm having Spike give them a good massage like he always did.”

“Not if I get to the finish line first.” Sunset warned her, as she started running faster determined to get ahead of Rainbow Dash.

The girls were coming up to the finish line with the girls cheering their teammates on. As they got closer, Rainbow Dash put on an extra dose of speed and pulled ahead of Sunset and crossed the finish line.

“Winner by a hair!” Pinkie cheered.

'More like 'winner by a boob'.' Spike thought to himself, as he watched how both Rainbow and Sunset's racks were shaking as they ran. And that Rainbow's breasts were the first to cross the line.

Sunset panted, before Ember gave her some water, “Thanks, Ember. I felt like my feet were going to fall off there.”

“We'll get them next time.” Ember promised.

Rarity and Moonlight Raven were called to partake in the contest of beauty. The two dressed up in the most gorgeous outfits they could muster up. Moonlight was dressed in a beautiful Gothic style gown which impressed the girls, even the Cuties. Rarity as always was dressed in something beautiful and sparkly like she was the Belle of the Ball. The two continued to pose, as they each gave a flirtatious look to Spike. But when Rarity gave her look to the young man, he fainted from hormone overload, much to the fashionista's joy.

“Damn.” Moonlight said deadpan.

Rarity spoke to her man, “Don't worry, Spikey-Wikey, when this is over, you may ravish me to your hearts content.” she winked.

“Uh, right.” he answered awkwardly, while knowing by the end of the day he was going to be hated by one group.

For their next challenge, they had went to Moonlight and Sunshine's home, where Sunshine Smiles and Pinkie were in the middle of their baking contest. They each presented a beautifully decorated cake for Spike to taste. He tasted Pinkie's and gave a thumb's up, but when he tasted Sunshine's he ended up eating more it and painfully acknowledged Sunshine as the winner. Pinkie felt crushed before she took a bite of Sunshine's cake, and her eyes widened in joy and gorged the whole thing, much to everyone's shock.

Finally they were in Ember's backyard where she had her own wrestling ring set up for her to practice. She and Applejack stood on opposite sides staring each other down.

“The final match of the contest is between Ember and Applejack in terms of Strength!” Pinkie announced, “Fighters... HAJIME!” the group looked at her before speaking, “That means 'go'.”

And with that Ember and Applejack started fighting each other like wrestlers determined to prove who was the strongest.

“Come on, Applejack!” The cuties cheered.

“Don't lose to that country bumpkin, Ember!” Sunset Shimmer called.

Ember and Applejack soon met in a grapple, as Applejack spoke, “I'm not letting you and your gal pals take mine and my friends man. We've been through so much together, we ain't gonna lose him.”

“Why do you think he slept with me and my friends behind your backs?” Ember questioned, “He was probably so lonely being by himself he jumped at the chance to be with someone. We were here for him when he moved back. And we're gonna continue to be there for him from now on!” Ember started overpowering Applejack and slammed her onto the ring. Applejack groaned before collapsing.

The cuties gasped at the outcome, as Moondancer called, “Ember is the winner!”

“Never mess with an inspiring wrestler.” Ember smirked.

“You did it, Ember!” Sunshine cheered, as the girls surrounded her.

Applejack got back to her feet and looked to her friends, “Sorry, ya'll. I couldn't take it.”

“You fought till the end, darling.” Rarity noted.

“And besides it's not over yet.” Twilight added.

“It isn't?” Moonlight asked.

“If you count up the victors we're all tied up three for three.” Twilight explained.

Sunset gasped, “She's right. It's a tie.”

“What do we do now?” Fluttershy asked.

“We need to have a tie breaker.” Rainbow spoke up.

“Agreed. But what can we do to break the tie?” Moondancer asked, but before anyone could think of anything Spike shouted.

“STOP!” the girls jumped at Spike's shout and looked at the boy who looked like he was at his wits end.

“Spike, whatever is the matter, darling?” Rarity asked.

“I can't take it anymore!” he answered, “I can't stand watching you all compete like this. You are friends in college and I didn't even know. I don't wanna be the one to drive your friendships apart. I almost felt responsible for that once. Remember, girls?” he asked the cuties who recalled how they started fighting over Spike wanting him to be their date for the end of the school dance to the point they accidentally hit him.

“I could never forget that day.” Twilight said in shock, as the others agreed.

“Look. I am sorry I lied to all of you. For not telling you about my old friends from my old hometown. And for not telling you I was already in a relationship. I was afraid of how all of you would react and become jealous. And I can see it's exactly what happened. I don't wanna do this anymore. All twelve of you deserve so much better than an idiot like me.” Spike said, as he turned and started walking away.

The girls looked at each other in concern. As Spike walked he suddenly felt two hands on his shoulders. He looked to his right and saw Rainbow Dash and Ember on his left, “Yeah, you can be an idiot at times, Spike.” Rainbow admitted.

“But you're our idiot.” Ember noted.

Spike was confused, as he looked back and saw the girls were all smiling, “How can you forgive me for this? I mean I lied to all of you.”

“Yeah, you lied, but you had the courage to admit it to us now.” Applejack added.

“But we hope next time you tell us of something important than just hide it.” Rarity warned him.

“Sure. No more secrets from any of you.” Spike promised.

“Promise?” they asked.

“I Pinkie Promise,” Spike answered, as he performed the sacred Pinkie Promise ritual, “Cross my heart and hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in my eye.”

The girls smiled, before high fiving and cheering, “We did it, girls.” Twilight said.

“It was a team effort.” Moondancer added.

Spike looked between the two groups in confusion, “What's happening here? How're you all suddenly so close again?”

Rainbow snickered, “We got you good, Spike.”

“We got you really good.” Moonlight smirked.

“Got me? What do you mean?”

“We were never going to truly go at it, Spike.” Applejack explained.

“But all that just happened. What am I missing here?”

“You see, Spike,” Sunset Shimmer began, “We did a little digging on you during your high school years and discovered your relationship with Twilight and the others. We made a call to them and we all talked about it.”

“Needless to say we were all shocked from what we learned about you being the boyfriend to our six friends from college.” Sunshine Smiles admitted.

“But we compromised, and came up with a plan to get back at you.” Rarity put in.

“We staged this whole competition hoping we would get you to crack and apologize for what you've done.” Pinkie explained.

“What? You mean the whole tie thing was staged?” Spike asked in disbelief.

“Actually, that wasn't part of the plan.” Fluttershy replied sheepishly.

“We all literally were trying to win the contests.” Starlight added feeling equally sheepish.

“Had to make it convincing.” Sunset put in.

“We're sorry we tricked you, Spike,” Twilight apologized, “But we had to do something to confess your mistake of keeping this kind of secret from all of us.”

Spike face palmed, “Boy I really am an idiot for falling for this,” The girls giggled, “So does this mean we're even now?”

The girls looked to each other squinting, “We're not a hundred percent sure.” Rainbow answered.

“If you really want us to be even, you need to make it up to all of us.” Ember warned him.

Spike not wanting to let them down now, answered, “I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to truly be back in your good graces.”

“Good. In the meantime, let's go back to the hotel we're staying at.” Twilight suggested.

“Yes. I think we all deserve some relaxation after all this.” Rarity said, as they all agree.

“And we all have special plans with you, Spike.” Sunset promised.

Spike looked at the dozen girls all bearing sensual smirks, which in turn got him shaking with excitement, 'Oh, man. This is going to be the wildest time ever.'

Author's Note

And there you go, turns out the two harems teamed up to make Spike confess his crime of not telling them all the truth about each other. Spike felt like a real idiot after that, but he's glad the two harems are no longer quarreling, but knows he's gotta make it up to them. Knowing Spike he will do whatever it takes.

And now I'd like to express my disappointment in a lot of my followers here. In my last chapter I asked for ideas and suggestions on what contests the girls should partake in, but most of you just made reaction comments on how Spike would be in for it, or just say have no contest and just make Spike confess. If I just made Spike confess then it wouldn't be as dramatic without the girls wanting to go against each other. So if the contests didn't sit well with some of you or didn't look like much, let it be known I asked for help, but no one truly gave me a suggestion. But I digress, I hope you enjoyed it either way and stay tuned for next time where Spike gets truly lucky.
