Spike putted his things in his bag. He then looked over his back. "Pictures of friends, check. Scrolls and materials for writing, check. Food and drinks, check. Knife, check. M16..." Spike said, as he looked around. He lifted one of his pillows, and pulled out his weapon. "Double check. Now, all I need to do is talk to my friends."

Spike looked downstairs, and picked up his bag. He then quietly went downstairs. Spike looked and saw Twilight reading a book on the couch. He quietly set down his bag, held his wings against his back, and started to crawl towards the couch. He stopped behind it, looked to see if Twilight was still there. He then put his claws over, and started tickling the unsuspecting victim.

Twilight started laughing, feeling the wrath of Spike's tickling. He smiled, but was unprepared for when the mare grabbed his hand, pulled him over, and started tickling him.

"No fair Twi! You pulled me over with your hands, and I didn't even know!" Spike said, calming down.

"Well, you deserved it, you scared me half to death. Really guess the military take's good people and turns them into soldiers." Twilight said, giggling. "How's the wing spell I taught you?"

Spike's wings poofed out of existence, and he growled. "At least I know how to make them. And, I know how to make my tail grow into my body." Spike was about as tall as his sister, his spikes being a bit longer, his teeth getting a bit of a sharp edge to them, and his snout was a bit longer, not much though. He looked like a taller version of himself, only, not pudgy.

"Wow, nice one Spike. Your growing up so fast Spike..... One day, you were sucking on your tail, not being able to talk, and now, you're going back from your vacation to be in the military." Twilight said, sniffling. She then got misty eyes, and Spike hugged her.

"Don't worry Twi, I'll be back soon. It's just a couple of missions taking care of resistance, nothing to it."

Twilight then smiled towards him, hugging him.

"You're still the sarcastic little drake you were Spike." Twilight said, giggling.

Spike smiled, got up, grabbed his bag and headed towards the door.

"Don't worry Twi, I'll be back before you can say-" Spike started to say, but a pink blur crashed into him, and sent him flying back near Twilight. He looked down to see Pinkie, crying comically, rubbing her face into his chest, which caused him to blush.

"Spikey, please don't go! At least let me throw you a party before you go!" Pinkie said, then put her face into his chest again, her bussom rubbing a certain part of his anatomy.

"Sorry Pinkie, I have to go soon. Don't worry though, when I come back, we can have a welcome home party." Spike promised, messing with Pinkie's unkept mane.

She sniffled, but smiled. "You better come home then Spike, or I'll come find you and drag you back here for a party!"

"I'm looking forward to it." Spike said, smiling as she got off. He got up, dusted himself off, and looked at Pinkie. "You didn't come alone, did you?"

Pinkie shook her head, and Spike groaned.

"Rainbow, come down from there, I know you're there...." Spike said, feeling a rush of wind near him. He looked up to see Rainbow Dash with a water balloon in her hands, flying in the air. Spike yawned, and spewed fire at the balloon, making the balloon pop and splatter water all over RD's clothes, revealing certain things from her shirt.

Spike blushed, and Twilight quickly used a dry spell, drying Rainbow's shirt so Spike couldn't see anything more. "Geez, Twilight.... Spike is supposed to know about a mare by now!" Rainbow teased, smiling at Spike's blushing face.

Twilight glared at Rainbow, and looked at Spike. "You alright?"

Spike simply nodded, trying to get the images out of his head, failing at it.

AppleJack came in, looked at Spike's bag, then looked at Spike's blushing face, only to look at Rainbow, and the popped balloon in Rainbow Dash's hands. "Spike, yah'll didn't see anythang you weren't supposed ta now, did ya?" AJ asked, looking at Spike again.

Spike looked back at AJ, still blushing.

"You did... Ah don't suppose you're marefriend would like that, now would she? You're lucky she doesn't buck you in a certain place, so you'd have to call yourself a girl." AJ said, steamed at him, and hugging him anyway, kissing him on the cheek, making him smile.

"Well, you make sure this certain drake doesn't get stolen by another mare Applejack. He's innocent, but that doesn't mean mares don't want him." Twilight said, giggling at Spike's face.

"Ah'll make sure he doesn't get stolen. He's mine anyway, anyone saying otherwise will get a buck in their private area." AJ said, hugging Spike in a death grip, making him smile at his marefriend's antics. "And, when ya come home from your mission, Ah've got a special treat for ya." AJ said, smiling as she kissed him.

Rarity entered, seeing AJ kissing Spike made her smile. "Am I interrupting something?" She asked, hugging Spike.

Spike blushed, realizing AJ's breast was pressed against him tightly, along with Rarity's as well. "Not at all, but, it would help if you guys stopped hugging me, I can barely breath!" Spike said, making the mares blush and back off.

"Wait, where's Fluttershy?" Spike asked, looking around. The door opened, and a certain yellow Pegasus entered, smiling. She was holding her hands behind her back, smiling at Spike.

"Hi Spike.... I'm going to miss you while you're gone." Fluttershy said, in her usual timid voice. She went up and hugged Spike, which he returned, patting her back.

"I'm going to miss you guys. I'll make sure to write, and make sure I don't get killed while I'm out there. But, it won't be easy without you guys." Spike said, smiling. He earned a couple of awwwww's and got in a group hug. He heard something outside, and smiled. "There's my ride."

Spike got out of the group hug, kissing AJ, which made her blush. He then went outside to see a helicopter waiting for him. The pilot saluted, and Spike saluted back, smiling. He looked in to see a couple of marines in the helicopter already, one he knew of already, smiling at him.

Spike got in, standing up, and turned around to see his friends waving goodbye to him. "I'LL BE BACK SOON!!" Spike yelled over the chopper's blades. He then gave the signal to lift off, and the pilot nodded towards him. Spike saluted, which earned a tipping of the hat from AJ.

The helicopter then rose up, and started to head off. Spike sat down, high fiving a soldier. "Good to see you fighting with me again, Discord." Spike said, smiling warmly to the god of chaos in front of him.

"Well, you know me Spike, couldn't resist causing some chaos with you." Discord said, shrugging and smiling back at him.

"It'll be good to know I'll have a friend fighting with me." Spike said, looking back at Ponyville.

Discord chuckled, looking back at Ponyville with Spike "Same here my drake. Same here...."
