My little Crysis

Spike was sleeping in AJ's home, she was cuddling with him. Of course, he didn't mind, it was better than sleeping alone in AJ's house. Spike heard knocking. He growled, thinking about getting up, or going back to sleep. He chose the latter, then tried to fall in sleep's embrace again. The knocking got louder, making him get up, annoyed.

"I'm coming." Spike said, his helmet coming out of his armor, then covering his head. He got up, then walked out of AJ's room. "It's five o clock in the bloody mornin'. Who'd be knocking on doors on this hour?"

Spike opened the door, to only have his eyes widen of seeing reporters ask him questions, then blind him with their cameras.

"Hey, is it true your an alien invading us?"

"Tell us, why don't you take off the armor so we can see what you look like?"

"Are you getting mares pregnant with aliens, building an army, then taking over Equestria?"

Spike was flooded with questions, then he peered down at one of the reporters, startling her. He said one sentence. "Get the Hell off my lawn." This caused her to back up, a bit startled at what he said. He then straightened his posture, looking at the rest of them. Before anyone else could ask him questions, he slammed the door shut.

Applejack came downstairs, in her Apple pajamas. "Howdy there Spike. Who were ya talkin' to?" AJ asked, hugging the armored dragon.

He returned the hug. "Well, check out the window."

She looked at Spike, confused, then, she looked out the window to see some reporters waiting at the front door.

Bad luck smirked at AJ as a reporter looked at the window. He saw AJ, then pointed there, causing the others to take pictures, and run at the window, asking questions. AJ responded by closing the curtains, then glaring at Spike. "Why are there ponies on mah lawn trying to get in?"

"Well, it's not everyday you see a armored dragon walking around town. But, they wouldn't know I'm a dragon because my tail is in my body thanks to a spell I can turn off or on anytime I want." Spike explained, making AJ have a unamused face. "What, I told them to get off your lawn?" Spike asked, making her still have that face.

"Well, how're going to get out and go help Twi' then?" AJ asked the dragon.

"Well, since I have my armor, then that won't be a problem." Spike said, turning his cloak on.

"Yeah, that's handy, but how are they going to get away from mah house if they think you're still in here?" AJ asked, watching Spike uncloak, then looked at her, smiling. She couldn't tell he was smiling, but, she new her drakefriend well enough to know he was thinking something up. "Well, Ah should be going to Twi's house anyway. And your taking me."

Spike smiled, then whispered the plan in her ear. She burst out laughing, then looked at him. "That's funny Spike. Ah thought you were serious for a second!" AJ said, then she wiped a tear away. "Now, tell me the plan. That joke was funny, and Ah do appreciate it, but, now is not the time for jokes." AJ said, smiling. Her smile turned into a frown, seeing Spike wasn't laughing. "You weren't joking, were you?" Spike shook his head. "Well, get it over with." AJ said, making a yelp come out when Spike picked her up, bridal style.

"You might want to hang onto something." Spike warned as he jumped out the open window in the kitchen. He closed the window, then, started running, his armor making him go fast.

"There he is! Get him!"

Spike smiled as he sprinted by with ease, the reporters trying to keep up, becoming tired or falling down. "That was easy." Spike said, smirking.

"Well, they'll be looking for ya later, Spike. Ah'll have to keep you away from them until then." AJ said, cuddling up to him, then kissing his cheek...well, where his cheek would be if his helmet weren't there. Spike blushed, but, he still was running.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the library. "That was close." Spike said, panting a bit as he set AJ down. He then heard a shout behind him, making him grimace. "Shit."

"There he is!"

"Get in!" Spike yelled, opening the door, pushing AJ in. He then went in after, right as a mare tried to tackle him to the ground. He closed the door, then locked it.

"What in Tartarus is going on?" Twilight asked, seeing them come in, a bit disappointed she was torn away from her book.

"Well, we got chased by reporters half way cross town. Almost lost them, found us again, then, we started running, again. Long story short, we came here, then went in here before the reporters could catch us. In short, the usual." Spike said, chuckling as he heard the reporters leave. "Oh, and there's one thing I want to say before we talk about anything else."

"What's that?" Twilight and AJ said at the same time.

"Awesome dragon and hot mare, twelve. Bloody reporters, zero." Spike said, laughing as AJ chuckled, hugging him.
