The Dragon Knight of Canterlot City

At school, Spike joined up with his girls during their free period where they went into a vacant room.

“So, Spike, what'd you want to talk about with us?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah, when we got here this morning you looked like you had something important on your mind.” Applejack recalled.

“I do. You remember when you told me Mr. Blitz and the others were lying about being freelance cops?” Spike asked.

“I do.”

“Well, I found out you were right. They're not.”

“I knew it.”

“But how could you know, Spike?” Scootaloo asked.

“Drakon came back to me after his reconnaissance.”

“And what'd you find?” Sunset asked the spirit.

“Prepare yourselves, girls, for a shock.” Drakon answered, as he told them the truth.

“WHAT?!” their shouts could be heard from outside the room.

“They're assassins?!” Pinkie asked in shock.

“Yeah, surprised me too.” Spike admitted.

“But they look so nice, outside their foul language.” Fluttershy said.

“And they are.” Spike assured them.

“How can you be sure?” Rainbow asked skeptically.

“Because I know them, Dash. And as Drakon confirmed, they only target failure gang members.”

“Well, at least they have some code of honor.” Rarity admitted, while still surprised.

“That's right. And I found a way to use it to my advantage.” Spike added.

“What do you mean?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“I paid them a visit as the Dragon Knight. I got to talking with them, and we came to a deal. I don't rat them out to the cops with what they do, and in return they provide me information on any of the gangs and crime bosses that could be useful.”

“And they agreed to it?” Twilight asked surprised.

Spike nodded, “Yes. As said they may have become assassins, but I still see the people I knew them as before. But of course I have to keep my identity as the Dragon Knight separate from my normal life when around them.”

“Especially from Loona.” Drakon added making Spike glare at him.

“What do you mean by that?” Sunset asked suspiciously as the rest of the girls felt something was up when Drakon mentioned Loona.

“Ask, Spike.” Drakon motioned to their boyfriend.

“Traitor.” Spike grumbled.

“We're all ears, Spike.” Applejack crossed her arms.

Spike noticed the rest of his girlfriends waited for him to explain himself. With no other choice he sighed and answered.

“Well, after my meeting with Blitz as the Dragon Knight cementing our partnership I was ready to leave until Loona stopped me.”

“And?” the girls asked wanting the rest.

Spike cringed, “She kissed me.”

“WHAT?!” they screamed again.

“She kissed you?!” Twilight asked shocked.

“Why would she do that?!” Rarity asked equally shocked.

“Well, we know why she would. I mean look at Spike.” Rainbow reminded them, only to get glared at.

“Believe me, I'm just as surprised myself.” Spike assured them.

“And how did you feel?” Sunset inquired.

“Well, shocked of course. I mean I didn't see it coming. I mean who would've actually had the guts to do that to me as the Dragon Knight?”

“He does have a point.” Apple Bloom admitted.

“What about after?” Rainbow asked crossing her arms.

“Well... It felt good,” he confessed, “I mean I knew Loona as a kid and vice versa. I never expected how forward she could be or passionate.”

“So you love her?” Twilight inquired.

“I wouldn't say love. I mean I hadn't seen her in years. Besides she's obviously in love with Dragon Knight.” Spike argued.

“I don't know,” Pinkie said, “It looked like when you two saw each other she looked really into you.”

“Um, I noticed it too.” Fluttershy agreed.

“Well, we haven't seen each other in years, and she only remembered me as that chubby kid.”

“Still she did look interested in you.” Sweetie Belle said.

“You really believe that?” Spike wondered. The girls nodded, “Well, I can't be too sure about it unless there's actual proof.”

“If it's proof you want, then it's what we're going to get.” Rarity stated.

“What do you mean by that, Rarity?” Spike asked curiously.

“Just leave that to me, darling.” she assured Spike.

“Well, free period's about over. Better get to our next classes.” Twilight said, as the girls all gave Spike a kiss before heading to their next classes.

Spike watched the girls leave before looking at Drakon, “What do you think Rarity plans to do?”

“Oh, you never know what that girl's got up her posh sleeves.” Drakon chuckled.

“Do you think Loona could be interested in me and not just the Dragon Knight?”

“Well, we'll just have to wait and see now won't we?” Drakon smirked.

“Right.” Spike answered still curious.

When school let out, Spike headed for home, while the rest of the girls stayed behind, “So, Rarity, how do you intend to get information out of Loona and see if she is into Spike like we are?” Applejack asked.

“Simple, Applejack. Since she's Spike's friend. We have to treat her like a friend to. And what friends do is spend time together.”

“So we should invite Loona to do something with us.” Twilight deduced.

“Precisely.” Rarity confirmed.

“But will she want to?” Fluttershy asked, “I mean she's older than us.”

“If Loona really does like Spike that way, I'm sure she'd be willing to spend time with us for his sake.”

“Good point.” Twilight agreed.

“Well, then. You make the call, Rarity.” Rainbow said.

“Done.” she replied, grabbing her phone.

Meanwhile at one of the city's college's Loona was getting out of class before waving bye to some of her classmates, before her phone rang. She checked the ID seeing Rarity's name, and answered.

“Yes, Rarity? Oh, I'm good. Classes just let out. You?” she asked, “Oh, well good timing. Huh? Actually I don't have too much going on, at least noting my dad needs me for. A slumber party at Twilight's? Well, I've never actually been to one personally so... Oh, you think so? Well, if it would please Spike I guess I can join you girls. Text me the address and I'll see you there. Ok, bye.” she hung up.

She spoke to herself, “Spike really would be pleased if I started spending time with his girls. Maybe even get me some good details on him that only they know.” she smirked.

She headed back to I.M.P HQ where Blitz was at his desk, while Millie and Moxxie were going over files.

“Loony! How was school?” Blitz asked curiously.

“Just the same, dad,” she replied, “Listen can I go stay at a friends house tonight?”

“A friend?” Blitz wondered about the other people Loona goes to school with, “Which of them?”

“Well, more recent friend, to be precise. You remember Spike's girls?”

“How can anyone forget?” he asked rhetorically.

“Right. I was invited by them to a slumber party, and I was wondering if it'd be ok with you?” she wondered.

“Well, we don't have any work for now. So I don't see why not.”

“Really? Thanks, pops! I'll go pack what I need.” Loona said going to get the essentials.

“Only known Spike's ladies for a day and already getting invited to a slumber party.” Millie marveled.

“That's a first,” Moxxie replied, “I mean she wasn't too big a social person at her school.”

“As long as she's making friends, Mox.” Blitz replied.

Soon Loona came out with a duffel bag and put her coat back on, “Alright I'm heading back out. I'll see you tomorrow!”

“Later, sweetie!” Blitz called, as his daughter left.

Loona eventually arrived at Twilight's place thanks to the address the girls texted her. She walked up to the door and rang the bell. Velvet answered it, and the college girl spoke.

“Hello, Mrs. Sparkle? I'm Loona. I believe Twilight and the others are expecting me?”

“Of course, welcome, Loona. Please come inside before you catch a cold.” Velvet welcomed her into the house before closing the door.

Once inside Velvet helped Loona get her jacket off and left her boots by the radiator with the other girls boots.

“So where are the girls?” Loona asked the mother.

“They're down in Twilight's room. I'll show you.” she escorted Loona who blushed as she looked at her.

'Wow, she's so nice. Reminds me of Spike's mom.' she thought to herself.

Loona followed Velvet to the basement before the mom called down, “Twilight, Loona's here!”

“Thanks, mom!” Twilight answered.

Velvet turned to Loona, and spoke, “I hope you enjoy yourself.”

“Thank you. And I hope I do.” Loona replied, before going downstairs.

As the older girl made it downstairs, she saw Twilight and the rest of Spike's girls all laying around comfortable in their pajamas.

“Hey, Loona! Ya made it!” Pinkie cheered.

“Welcome, Loona.” Twilight greeted her.

Loona looked around Twilight's room, “Not a bad set up. Feels homey... In a library sort of way.”

“That's our egghead Twilight for you.” Rainbow teased as the girls laughed. Twilight felt embarrassed and blushed as Loona stifled a laugh before speaking up.

“Is there anyplace I can change?”

“Sure I got something.” Twilight got up and pulled along a wheeling chalkboard that was big enough for Loona to change behind, “I know it's not much.”

“It'll do. Thanks.” Loona said, as she went behind the chalkboard and started changing, while the girls waited.

Soon Loona came out wearing small black pajama shorts and a gray pajama crop top. The girls stared at Loona's figure, especially her bust. Loona noticed this started to blush, “What?”

“Sorry, Loona, darling, but you're beautiful.” Rarity said.

“What? Go on!” Loona blushed.

“She ain't lyin', Loona.” Applejack assured her.

“You got quite a lean figure.” Rainbow admitted.

“With that form you could be a model.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Well, my dad wouldn't want me doing any modeling of any kind.”

“Not even hand or foot modeling?” Apple Bloom asked.

“Not even that. Doesn't want his precious girl to expose any of her body to the public.” she replied dramatically making the girls laugh.

“Sounds like a doting dad, alright.” Sunset chuckled.

“Yeah. But I still love him.” Loona admitted.

“Aside from your figure, you got some good ones right here.” Pinkie put her hands on her chest.

Loona blushed, “Are we gonna be talking about my body all night here? Because you girls are nothing to sneeze at.”

“You noticed?” Scootaloo asked.

“How could I not?” Loona blushed upon hearing herself, “I mean not that I was staring intentionally of course.”

“It's ok, Loona. We all understand.” Rarity replied.

Loona sighed in relief, before sitting down between Applejack and Rainbow Dash, “So what do we do now?”

“Well, first you must be hungry.” Twilight suspected, before they showed her pizza boxes on the table.

“Get your pizza on, Loona!” Pinkie cheered.

“Yum.” Loona admitted, as she took a slice.

And so Loona started relaxing and enjoying the slumber party with the girls. Rarity took some selfies with her, while also using filters. One of the filters made them look like animals with Rarity looking like an equine, and Loona looked like a wolf.

Pinkie was sharing a bowl of marshmallows with Loona who was in a contest with her to see how many they could fit in their mouths. Naturally Pinkie beat Loona, but the assassin girl was having too much fun to care if she lost. Sunset was showing Loona some of the graffiti artwork in the city she did on her phone with Loona looking very impressed by the redhead's works. The CMC were showing Loona some of their club's movie reviews with the older girl commending them on such thorough reviews.

Fluttershy allowed Loona to do her makeup, and when she was done Fluttershy saw she had dark eye-shadow and her nails were painted black. At first she looked shocked with worried Loona, before the shy girl smiled and hugged her much to her surprise, and yet felt happy she made Fluttershy happy. Twilight was showing Loona some star constellations in a book and the legends and myths behind their origins with Loona looking interested in learning more.

Finally, Applejack and Rainbow were playing poker with Loona offering up snacks in place of money much to Loona's disappointment. With plenty of snacks in the center, the three threw down their cards with Rainbow having three Queens, Applejack had three Kings and was ready to claim the spoils, only for Loona to drop her hand revealing three Aces much to the twos shock as she collected the winnings.

As Loona reveled in her winnings she was suddenly hit in the face with a pillow. She looked and saw it was Rainbow who whacked her with Applejack and the others looking nervous. Loona smirked as if stating 'This means War' and started pillow fighting with Rainbow who started dragging the others into it as well.

Soon they were all tired out from their pillow fight and took a breather, “I got to say, Loona, you hit hard with a pillow.” Rainbow admitted.

“So do you, and the rest of you girls.” Loona put in.

“It was fun.” Pinkie smiled.

“Ya darn tootin'.” Applejack laughed.

They all collected themselves, and saw up before Rarity turned to Loona, “Now then, Loona. There are things we wish to know.”

“What things?” Loona asked curiously.

“Well, what do you think of Spike?”

“Spike?” Loona blushed.

“Yeah. We all know out of everyone here you knew him first.” Apple Bloom noted.

“Yeah but for a couple hours.”

“Still plenty of time to know him.” Sunset replied.

“And from what Spike told us when he first met you, he had so much to say.” Twilight said making Loona get flustered.

“Like what?”

“That he felt so sad seeing someone else sadder than he was,” Fluttershy explained, “When he saw you on that snowy day he went out of his way to make you feel welcomes. To feel loved.”

Loona looked at Fluttershy surprised at what she said, before answering, “He did care. A lot more than plenty of others did back then. Even his own parents treated me like I was theirs. No doubt it's where he got his good nature from.”

The girls nodded, “You should know. You're the only one here who actually knew his parents even for just a moment.” Rainbow reminded her.

“Yeah. I did. You girls would've definitely loved them,” she sighed, “I still remembered Spike as that chubby kid who went out of his way to help me make me feel loved. That feeling never left me. Even as I got older no guy or girl for that matter showed me the same level of love he did that day.”

“That sounds just like our Spike.” Twilight smiled.

“If I said I loved him how could I be sure he feels the same? We haven't seen each other in years until just yesterday.”

“No one's asking you to outright confess to Spike,” Rarity said, “But to just be true to yourself about your feelings.”

“And it's safe to say Spike may actually feel the same about you.” Sweetie Belle added.

Loona did a double take, “Really?”

“The look on his face after seeing you again really made him happy.” Fluttershy reminded.

“It did make me happy too.” Loona confessed.

“Give it a chance, Loona. Spike's bound to accept your love like he did all ours.” Twilight encouraged him.

'If he does, what would you girls think?”

“It'd be ok with us.” Sunset admitted.

“It would?”

“Yeah, we're all on big happy group.” Pinkie answered smiling.

“And we all share something special.” Apple Bloom said.

“A shared love for Spike.” Twilight concluded.

Loona looked at Twilight flustered before smiling, “Wow. No wonder Spike fell for each one of you.” Suddenly Loona leaned forward pecking Twilight's cheek surprising the smart girl and the others.

When Loona realized what she did she shook her head in disbelief, “I-uh. That was. I mean I...” she stammered until Twilight embraced her.

“It's ok. I get it.” she replied before pecking Loona's cheek in return.

Loona gasped before smiling and wrapped her arms around Twilight. She looked at the rest of the girls speaking, “Get in here all of you.” The girls smiled as they went to Loona and Twilight in a group hug.

Pinkie snuggled up to the older girl, “Loona, you're so soft and warm.”

“Thanks. And your hair smells like cotton candy.”

“I know.”

“Won't Spike be surprised to see how close we are now.” Applejack guessed, as they all agreed.

At Spike's place, the young man was watching TV with Drakon and Peewee, before getting a message on his phone. He checked his message was from Twilight, and it was a group selfie of all the girls huddled together with Loona, all in their sleepwear. Spike blushed as he saw in the image Rarity was kissing Loona's cheek, while Pinkie had her face buried in Loona's bosom.

“Well, looks like the girls are getting along just fine with Loona.” Drakon nudged Spike.

“Yeah. They sure are.” he replied.

“Think you might consider making her yours after all?”

“I might.” Spike admitted as he looked at Loona in the picture.

“You should consider it. After all, the holidays are coming. It's the perfect time to fall in love.” Drakon noted as Peewee squawked in agreement. Spike continued to look at Loona and how she looked like she was having such a good time with Twilight and the rest of the girls.

'Maybe it's not just the Dragon Knight she's interested in.' he thought.
