Lust I.

"Whew! I'm all done Twilight, can I go see Rarity now?" Spike just got done placing all of the books back on their appropriate shelves. He hopped off of the ladder and ran over to Twilight; the lilac alicorn was busy practicing a very powerful spell, a time stopping spell; something only an alicorn has the power to do. Twilight's horn was glowing a bright raspberry color: all of her concentration was on the super advanced spell, sweat poured out of her body, teeth gritted in frustration, her legs were on the verge of collapsing.

"Come... on... darn it!" Twilight poured more magic into her horn from her vast magic supply, "Almost... there!" Twilight finished the spell; a deep purple barrier expand from her to the entire town; completely stopping time in Ponyville. Twilight fell to the ground, panting heavily. "I-I did it! " the alicorn clopped her hooves together in happiness; she completed yet another spell Star Swirled the Bearded could not accomplish. "Spike! I did it!... Spike?" Twilight rose off of the ground, "Spike, why aren't you answering me?" she turned around and looked at her number 1 assistant: he was frozen in time. Twilight blushed in embarrassment, "I guess you can't answer huh? Don’t worry Spike, I'll release you in a few minutes, see you later."

Twilight left the library and flew into the air, "wow- the entire town is frozen in time... yes!" Twilight looked around town: Applejack was in mid-buck of a tree, Rainbow Dash was asleep, Fluttershy was tackling a bear..."I'll ask her about that later, let's see what Rarity and Pinkie pie are doing," Twilight flew to Sugarcube corner and looked through the window. "Huh, where could she be? All of the Cakes are here, shouldn't she be at work?" Twilight brought a hoof to her chin, thinking where her pink friend could be, "Aha! I bet she's with Rarity! Those two have been getting along quite well recently; it's good seeing their individual friendship growing."

The princess flew to the Carousel Boutique in search of her friends Rarity and Pinkie pie. She placed her hooves on the ground and walked to the window, "now... let's see what thei-" Twilight stopped talking from shock; Pinkie and Rarity were making out on the couch. "Oh... shit," Twilight never cursed, so you know this had too have been some serious shit. "Oh no, Spike is going to flip out when he finds out," Twilight chuckled a little, "It's a good thing the time spell worked after all or Spike would have died of a heart attack." Twilight teleported back to the library, she was in the center of the tree house, right next to Spike. "Ok, time to release the spell, then I'll tell Spike what I saw... but I don't want to break my best friends’ heart. No Twilight! You need to tell him."

Twilight's horn glowed again, attempting to remove the time barrier: it didn't work. "Huh? Why won’t my spell work? Twilight tried again to remove the field; again and again, only to fail each time. The alicorn started to panic, "Oh no no no no NO! I've trapped Ponyville in time... forever!!" She quickly galloped upstairs and grabbed a scroll and quill, "Okay, no need to panic, I give these to Spike and he can send a message to Celestia." she returned back downstairs and placed the scroll and quill in front of spike.

"Spike," she cleared her throat, "Take a letter."

"..."

"Dear Celestia, I have completed the Star Swirl time spell; I stopped time in Ponyville, but there is a problem... I can't fix it. I require your assistance to help me fix this problem. Sincerely, princess Twilight Sparkle."

Twilight began tapping her hoof on the hardwood floor; waiting for Celestia's reply.

Tap.

Tap tap.

Tap.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.

"Argh! What's taking her so long!" she turned to Spike, "Spike! Did you se-" Twilight facehoofed. "I'm so stupid! I forgot your frozen too! It’s okay Twilight... you just stuck your entire town in time forever... it's not a big deal... right?"

"Oh it is a big deal, princess Twilight," a voice from behind her said.

Twilight turned around to see who it was; she saw two yellow eyes with red pupils looking at her. "Discord! I know you can help me!" Twilight clapped her hooves together again. A body began to form around the eyeballs, taking on the form of Discord, reformed god of disharmony and chaos.

"My, my Miss Twilight, you seemed to have become quite powerful in time spells; to affect an entire town on your first try is no small feat. Discord brought his gaze over to Spike; the little dragon was frozen in mid-run. Discord did not like Spike whatsoever.

How could Celestia love such a pathetic creature? He isn't even a teenager yet in dragon years.

Discord scoffed at Spikes current situation and talked to twilight, "well then, we need to tell Celestia what happened here." Twilight nodded; Discord snapped his fingers and teleported them to the Canterlot throne room.

Celestia was busy with day court; a noble unicorn was trying to get Celestia to attend his party, when Discord popped in with Twilight.

Thank me! Something to do besides listening to this snob.

Celestia cleared her throat. ”I’m sorry good sir, but I am afraid I have to decline your offer; now, if you will excuse us, we need to discuss royal business." The stallion bowed and left through the large doors, "guards, you can go too." the guards saluted and departed also. The regal white alicorn slumped in her throne. That stallion and other ponies in court were starting to get on her nerves; Celestia loved all of her subjects equally... except one.

The sun goddess turn to her student and "brother", "Ah... twilight it's good to see you, what brings you to Canterlot?"

Twilight shuffled her hooves nervously, "Umm...I finished the Star Swirl time spell." Twilight chuckled nervously, avoiding the gaze of her mentor.

Celestia smile brightened, "Oh! I'm surprised; I thought it would take you a few weeks to learn the spell; not a couple of days. I am very proud of you my faithful student." This praise caused Twilight to breakdown.

"Princess, it's terrible! I cant reverse the spell! all of Ponyville is frozen in time, my friends, the townsponies, even Spike!"

Celestia's ears perked up at the mention of his name, she wanted to flash a huge grin, but she controlled herself; putting back on her face of stoic neutrality. "...I see. Then I must go to Ponyville and fix the problem. Do not worry Twilight, I will not hold this against you."

Twilight beamed with relief, "thank you Celestia, do you want me t-" Celestia cut her off.

"No, I don't need you twilight, but thanks for the offer." Before Twilight could respond, Celestia teleported to Ponyville, leaving shocked Twilight and an upset Discord.

‘I wonder why Celestia didn't want me to come with her. Maybe she doesn't trust me enough to help her!?’

‘Geez, she is so obsessed with that damn dragon, I honestly do not see the attraction.’

********

Celestia was inside of the time-stopped Ponyville, surveying the damage Twilight has caused.

‘It seems to be okay, just... frozen; I can fix this in a instant with my magic, but first, I want to see... Him.’

Celestia flew over to the Golden Oaks Library with a happy smile on her face; it has been a while since she has seen the drake of her dreams, and now she has all the time in the world with him. She was in front of the GOL and opened the door. Inside the middle of the library was the petrified baby dragon. Celestia's face turned red at the sight of him; although; by dragon standards, he is a baby, but in pony years, he is well over an adult. The sun raiser trotted over to Spike, tucked her legs underneath her and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. She took one of his back scales and sent it to her "special room"; she released the spell on him and only him for the time being.

Spike suddenly woke up, "huh? What happened to me?" Spike looked up and saw Celestia in front of him. "Oh hi Celestia, what are you doing here? Are you here for Twilight?"

Celestia giggled into a hoof, "no Spike, I'm actually her to see you, it has been too long my friend," she said with a warm smile, attempting to hide her love for the dragon. She wanted to pounce on him... right here, right now. "Twilight is in Canterlot; she finished the time spell, but she could not reverse it, so she came to me."

"I see," Spike rubbed his chin with a claw, "hey Celestia!" Spike chirped, "Do you want something to eat?" Celestia's heart melted at his kind offer.

"Why thank you Spike, I would love something to eat." Spike walked over to the kitchen, oblivious to the fact that Celestia was staring at his ass. Spike made a quick daisy sandwich; Celestia's favorite, and brought it to her: he had a handful of gems for himself. Spike munched happily on his gems, while Celestia looked at the sandwich; it was an ordinary sandwich, it wasn't filled with jellyfish jelly, it was not made with fine ingredients, even the crust was still on. But what made it special? Spike made it. Celestia did not want to eat it, she wanted to send it away, but since Spike was right in front of her, she has no other choice but to eat it.

Celestia bit into the sandwich, in her mind, she could taste the love and care her favorite dragon put into it. She moaned into the sandwich, "Spike... this is the best sandwich I have ever had; and I can honestly say that from the bottom of my heart." These surprising comments caused Spike to turn beet red... Something Celestia instantly took notice of. Her horn glowed in a golden color; she released a spell- the time stopping spell she just taught Twilight. She froze Spike in place.

Celestia's horn glowed again; a camera popped out of thin air. The ancient had a crazed grin on her face, "Okay Spikey Wikey... time to get your picture taken.” Celestia began taking numerous pictures of Spike, some even in different positions. If the ponies outside weren't frozen; they could see the many flashes of light from the GOL.

Flash.

Flash. flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash.

After twenty pictures, Celestia sent the pictures and the camera back to her "special room." The princess looked down at the-yet again- petrified dragon, "Spike... I know you cannot hear me, but I need to tell you this," the alicorn lowered her swan-like neck, placing her majestic head right in front of Spike, her flowing mane was wrapping around the baby dragon, " I love you... I love you so much, it hurt's my heart too see you constantly chasing... Rarity." Celestia growled out the ivory unicorn's name, but she soon put on a happy face. "That's why I placed a spell on her: to make her fall in love with Pinkie pie," Celestia lifted her neck up, her mane also lifted Spike into the air, ”now that Rarity is with Pinkie, you will be distraught, the mare you were after all this time is now out of your grasp."

Celestia brought Spike closer to her face, his frozen lips were slightly touching hers, "but do not worry my love... I shall comfort you in your time of need, I will make you forget all about that mortal, all you will need is me; and I will love you forever." Celestia brought Spike in for a passionate kiss; his mouth was already open and begging for her tongue- which she happily gave him. Celestia licked his fangs, loving the sharp edges that could easily cut her: but she didn't care, she was too enthralled with kissing a statue. Spike had a rich mineral taste, since he just ate some gems. This is something Celestia is very familiar with; she has done this numerous times in secret, the solar princess violated his mouth with her own, both sets of her lips were ridiculously wet. Her fluids were running down her hind legs and onto the floor.

Celestia stopped kiss Spike, panting heavily, "Was that good for you too Spike?"

Spike didn't say anything, but Celestia took this as a yes.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it too." Celestia placed Spike down on the floor, gave him an another quick kiss on the lips and walked to the door. "I won't be doing that for now on Spike; from this day forward, I will get you to love me. It would easy to place a spell on you that would make you want me." Celestia galloped to Spike's location, her face was touching his, the same crazed grin from earlier was plastered on her face, "But I won’t; you will love me of your own free will, you shall choose to stay with me. And together: we shall rule Equestria as king and queen for all time." Celestia's face returned to normal, she gentle nuzzled the right side of Spike's head, "and Nopony can ever will change that," she whispered in his frill, "not Rarity, Discord, Twilight, Luna, or even... them!" She levitated the dragon into her arms, patting his stiff spikes, "Don't you see? You were brought here to be mine... and I am yours in return" She kissed his forehead, "I will see you in a few days Spike." Celestia placed him back down on the floor and departed.

She left the GOL and turned off the time spell. Everypony that was frozen immediately started walking and going about their business, they all stopped in their tracks and bowed when they saw Celestia. "Rise my little ponies, I was just about to leave." Her horn glowed again and in a flash, Celestia was gone.

Spike brought his hand too his mouth and bit down, "Ow! Where did my gem go?" The baby dragon realized he was ten feet away from his gems and the sandwich he made Celestia. "Huh? Where did she go? Why did she leave her sandwich?" Spike shrugged and moved over to the food, but he smelled something funny; wrinkled his nose, trying to find the source of the smell. He looked down and saw what caused the smell: a little puddle of fluid. Spike wasn't a idiot; he knew exactly what this was... it was water! "Celestia must have gotten thirsty and got a glass of water, dropped the glass, and cleaned it up." Spike crossed his arms together, nodding his head, thinking he figured it out. "She probably left because she was ashamed she broke a glass... but why does it smell so funny?"

Spike lowered his head to the puddle; taking in a big whiff of the unknown liquid, "It doesn’t smell bad- it actually smells like raspberries! Maybe Celestia can enchant her water?" Spike slithered out his tongue and dabbed the tip of the muscle into the fluid. "Sweet Luna! This is delicious!" Spike lowered his head and lapped up Celestia's juice, savoring the sweet and foreign taste. After a few seconds, the puddle was gone. "Man! that was great, I need to ask Celestia to give me some more of that water." Spike wiped his mouth with his arm and returned to the food, "no sense in letting this go to waste."

Spike ate the remainder of the gems and the sandwich, his belly was rounder and completely full, he patted his stomach and released a burp and a little emerald fire. "Oh man, a great lunch and I have the library to myself!" he looked out the window, "but I still need to see Rarity! I don't have time to be full! She might need my help." Spike rose from the floor and ran into the bathroom to freshen up; he brushed his teeth and shined his spikes and... Scales? Spike looked at his back in the mirror; one of his scales was missing. "Geez, these things fall off all the time! I wonder where it went?" The dragon shrugged, "Oh well, they grow back quickly anyway." He turned off the lights and left the library: his goal was the unicorn of his dreams.

**********

Celestia returned to Canterlot throne room, Luna was sitting on the throne, on one side of her was Discord, the other was Twilight. Twilight was the first to speak when her mentor appeared. "Princess! Is Ponyville ok?" Twilight was on the verge of tears, fearing that Ponyville win be stuck forever.

"Do not worry Twilight," Celestia wiped the incoming tears from her student's eyes," I fixed Ponyville, everything is fine now." Celestia wrapped a wing around Twilight, bringing her into a hug; which Twilight happily returned. This somber moment was interrupted by Discord.

"Celestia, you should have been back in a few minutes; you've been gone for thirty! What were you doing in Ponyville for so long?" Discord raised both of his brows.

"Indeed sister, a time spell like that is not that difficult to reverse when you have mastered it. Was something happening in the town?"

Celestia wanted to release a snarl at Discord; but she didn't, "It's quite simple, I needed to survey the town for any lasting effects the spell could have produced. Who knows what could have happened." She lied through her teeth, putting on her public face, hoping to fool the two of them.

Luna raised a hoof to her chin, "Hmm that does seem possible, do you agree Discord?"

Discord crossed his arms, "maybe."

Celestia smiled and released Twilight, "good, now Luna could you watch over the court for a while? I'm somewhat sleepy." She brought up a hoof and rubbed her eye, Celestia then gave a big fake yawn.

"Of course sister," Luna shooed Celestia away with a hoof, "go on, enjoy a nap."

"Thank you Luna," she looked down at Twilight, "now Twilight, I recommend you go back home... something will come up later on, and you need to be there."

Twilight nodded, "Okay Celestia, I'll go right now." Twilight teleported back to Ponyville. Celestia smiled again at her siblings.

"If you both will excuse me, I am very tired." Celestia's horn glowed in a golden aura, and with a flash, she was gone.

Celestia teleported into her private chambers; she fell onto her bed... laughing like a maniac. She was so excited, Rarity has been taken care of: if she wasn't the element of generosity, Celestia would have gotten rid of her a long time ago. "Soon, Spike will forget about that mortal and fall for me," she levitated a picture over from her desk: a small mural of Spike defeating Sombra, the same one that's in the throne room. She stroked the mural spike, gazing at it lovingly. "When I get him... this and that room will be meaningless, he will love me, and only me." She began giggling like a mad pony. "My king is coming, and those two will not stop me."

"Spike is mine."

"He is my little reptile."

Lust II.

Rarity felt... confused; a few days ago, she suddenly became attracted to Pinkie Pie. She told the bubbly mare how she feels last night. Right now, they are making out on the couch... but it feels... wrong and right at the same time. Rarity could have sworn she liked Spike; since he became a adult, the two have been spending a lot of time together. The ivory mare was planning on asking Spike to be her drakefriend - but now she has a marefriend. And this sudden change in sexuality perplexed her to no end.

Rarity's train of thought was interrupted by Pinkie moaning into her mouth. The baker pushed Rarity onto her back, staring into her azure eyes, while hers are half-lidded. "Rarity... I had no idea you felt the same way about me as I do you." Pinkie rubbed Rarity's nose with hers, "You have no idea how happy you made me, Rarity." Pinkie kiss Rarity with a fiery passion- a kiss Rarity hesitantly returned.

Well... this does feel nice, perhaps I was a lesbian all along? was I just using Spike as a cover?

The designer let Pinkie's tongue into her mouth; their muscles danced the dance of lust. after a few minutes, the mares pulled apart, a thin line of saliva connected the two until Pinkie licked Rarity's horn: causing the unicorn to release a throaty moan and thrust forward.

"Oh my! Nopony has ever licked my horn before, I knew it was a very erotic part of a unicorn's body, but I had no idea it was so... good." Rarity was blushing like mad.

Pinkie giggles, " yeah, I did too a old unicorn I dated a few years ago, she still wants to hook up every now and again," Pinkie gently kissed rarity on the lips," but, now that I'm with you, I don't want nopony else." Pinkie laid down on top of Rarity's chest, sighing happily as Rarity ran a hoof through her mane.

Maybe this could work. I just hope Spike takes this well.

What Rarity didn't know: Spike was watching this bizarre scene form the window, and he did not take it well.

Spike's left eye was twitching like crazy, tears were brimming in his eyes, but he closed them before they could fall.

No Spike, a real dragon doesn't cry in public, go home... and cry in private.

Spike turned around and began walking back to the library; he reached the market plaza, but he was no longer trying to fight back tears, now he was full of anger, his body temperature was rising so high, each one of his small footsteps left visible scorch marks on the ground. The ponies around him were beginning to sweat from the intense heat Spike was generating.

Big Mac was sweating profusely, wondering what could have caused this sudden heat, when he noticed the little fireball walk past. "Hey Spike... is something wrong? at this rate, you'll start melting everything." The farmer chuckled at his comment, believing a little dragon like Spike isn't capable of something like that- right?

Spike tilted his head to the stallion, "hey Big Mac, sorry about the heat, when I get really mad, this happens; and I sometimes can't control it." Spike breathed in deeply, trying to clam himself down: It didn't work, in fact, it made it worse. Stands were beginning to melt, bits were hot to the touch, and the water in the air started evaporating. Spike noticed this and ran away to the lake, his presence at the lake caused the water to boil. Spike quickly jumped in the lake, creating a huge amount of steam that shot into the air. the lake water cooled his near-lava heat body. "Ahhh, this feels good." Spike floated on top of the water, with his hands behind his head in a relaxing position, he basically turned the Ponyville lake into a Jacuzzi.

"Hey Spike, can I come in?"

Spike turned his head around: Rainbow Dash was behind him, she was testing the water with a hoof. "Man, that feels nice," she looked at Spike, "so can I come in or what?"

"Oh, yeah sure, I don't mind. but how did you know I was here?" Dash got into the Jacuzzi.

"Rainbow huffed and pointed into the sky, "because your steam destroyed the cloud I was sleeping on."

Spike chuckled nervously, "yeah, sorry about that. I was just... really upset over something." Spike smacked the water with his claw.

Rainbow Dash looked concerned over her friend, "well, what happened?"

Spike looked into Dash's eyes, "Rarity is gay, that's what happened."

Her jaw dropped into the water, some of it was resting in the bottom of her jaw. She pulled herself back together, swallowing the water by mistake. Dash coughed up the water before speaking. "What?" there is no way Rarity swings that way, she was after Blueblood forever until the gala; and I know she has been hanging out with you a lot lately. What proof do you have?"

"I saw her and Pinkie making out on the couch; that's my proof." Spike said.

"What?! Pinkie and Rarity? th-th-that doesn't make any sense!' Rainbow was flabbergasted, she never thought those two would be a couple.

Spike smacked the water with his hands again, "I know right? but apparent they're together now! I spent seven years of my life pining over Rarity, and for what? for her to break my heart!?" Spike wanted to cry, but he held his tears in again.

"Geez buddy, I'm sorry... do you want me to talk too them?"

"No! I'll just stay away from them for a few days, I need to get my life back on track." Spike sunk his body into the water, only his nose on up were visible. "Right now though? I just want to relax."

Ok then... so, what else has been going on in the life of Spike?" Rainbow Dash was trying to change the subject.

"Earlier, Twilight completed another Star Swirl spell, now she can stop time! Ponyville was completely stuck in time. Then Celestia came over to the tree house."

"Wait, princess Celestia was here? and she came to see you?" Rainbow's brow was raised.

Spike nodded, "yeah! I made her some lunch, but... something weird happened."

"What?"

Spike rubbed his arm, " the next thing I knew, Celestia was gone and a puddle of enchanted water was left on the floor."

"Enchanted water? was it good?"

The dragon nodded his head vigorously, "It was the best drink I ever had in my life! when I see her again, I'm going to ask her for more!"

"Spike... I had no idea you were so close to the princess, when did these friendship begin?"

Spike had to think about it for a second. "well, me and Celestia have been friends... since forever; I was a fast grower mentally, so after a few years, I was as smart as Twilight. Me and Celestia became really good friends when I turn five" Spike waved Dash in closer, "don't tell twilight: but I call her my best friend."

"What?!"

Spike and Dash turned around; Twilight was there.

Oh... shit, "umm, hey there Twilight! how was Canterlot? wait... how did you know I was here?"

Twilight was very upset, "don't you "hey Twilight" me mister! why did you call Celestia you're best friend? I thought I was..." The princess of magic was on the verge of tears. Spike got out of the water; the water cascaded of his body due to his scales. Spike gave twilight a comforting hug.

"Twilight... I can have more than one best friend, you have six! so calm down, geez!"

"You're right Spike, and to answer you're question; Big Mac told me you ran away to the lake because you were MELTING THE PLAZA!! Why were you so angry?!"

Spike let go of twilight, "I was upset because I saw Pinkie kissing Rarity."

Twilight lowered her head, "Oh... you know about that..."

Rainbow got out of the water and flew to Twilight, "you knew they were together and didn't tell Spike? what kind of friend are you?" She poked the princess with a hoof. twilight looked down at Spike: he looked betrayed.

Twilight backed away, "No! I just found out today! honestly, it was when I stopped time; I flew to the boutique and saw the two of them on the couch. Spike, I'm sorry you had to see that, it must have shocked you to the core."

Spike nodded slowly, "yeah it did, I really don't want to see them for a while. I still want to be their friends... but I need to get away."

Twilight's ears perked up. Celestia did say something was going to happen and I needed to be here. could this be it? But how could she know about Pinkie and Rarity? Oh! she was surveying for damage! she probably saw them on the couch and knew Spike would figure it out eventually. "I know what you can do Spike," the dragon looked at his friend with hopeful eyes, "why don't you stay at the Palace for a while? that will take your mind off Rarity."

"Hmm, maybe you're right Twilight; yeah! I will go to the palace! can you teleport me back home?"

"Sure Spike," her horn glowed, then Spike was gone, leaving Twilight and Dash still at the lake-sized Jacuzzi. "Is the water still warm?"

"Yeah... you wanna get in?" Asked Dash.

**********

Spike was in the GOL; in his and twilight's room to be exact. Spike got a scroll and quill and began to write.

"Dear princess Celestia."

"It's me, Spike! I was wondering if I could stay in the castle for a while: something came up and I need to get away for a while. Can I come to the castle tomorrow? I still need to say goodbye, and before I go... I need to see them one more time before I leave. I know they don't know about me-but I need to tell them what's going on."

"Sincerely"

"Spike."

P.S.

"At the library, you left some enchanted water on the floor; I tasted it and it was the best thing I ever had. Could you make me some more while I'm in the castle?"

The dragon rolled up the scroll and breathed fire on it, sending it to Canterlot. Spike then left the GOL and went to Sweet Apple Acres.

**********

Celestia was on her way to her "special room" when a letter appeared. The sun god sniffed the scroll deeply, "Yes! I knew my plan would work! now lets see what Spikey-Wikey has to say." Celestia read the entire letter, when she finished she had a deep blush on her face. "He tasted me... and he said it was the best." She began to cry in happiness. "I-knew-we-were-meant-to-be!" She said in between sobs. After a few minutes, she finally calmed down; her blush was replaced with a insane smile. "Don't worry Spike... I will give you all the "enchanted water" you can stomach." Celestia continued down the spiral staircase; at the end of the stairs were two large doors: one had Spike engraved on it, the other had Celestia; she placed her horn in the keyhole and unlocked the door.

The "special room" was huge, right next to the entrance was a glass jar that contains the egg Spike was born in. Too the left was a large bookshelf, at the top of the shelf was a large box: containing every single scale she has taken from him... all 275 of them still gleamed when her magic hit them. The bottom had every quill he ever used and all the friendship reports he sent her. Celestia kissed the new scroll before placing it with the others. she used her magic to light the candles too properly illuminate the room... it gets more fucked up. all four of the walls had pictures of Spike; there were too many to count, pictures from different points in his life, his birth, first growth spurt, in his bed, shower, him defeating Sombra, and pictures of him with... Rarity, her face was burned out. At the end of the room was a beautiful, red form-fitting dress, the dress had SPIKE FOREVER in golden letters on it. The ceiling had a gargantuan mural of Spike in his full greed growth state, taking whatever he wanted from Ponyville. Celestia looked up at the mural with a warm genuine smile on her face. She liked the mural: it demonstrated the destructive power her king needed.

Celestia looked at the Spike clock on the wall, "It's time to lower the sun," her horn glowed a bright yellow, then she lowered her neck to the floor, the sun followed her movements. She left the room, locked the door, and teleported back to the maid area of the castle; the maids scrabbled to their hooves when Celestia appeared. "My little ponies; a very special guest will be staying at the castle, and I need some of you to prepare his room."

One maid spoke up, " your highness... who is the guest? a ruler? noble?" the maid gulped, "a king?"

Celestia smirked, soon he will be. "No, it is Spike the dragon, certain events have happened in Ponyville that have occurred that... requires his attention at the castle." Celestias motherly gaze turned cold, "he is to be with treated with the same amount of respect you give to me and Luna; fail to do this and your jobs will be terminated. ( and your lives) tell all the guards this news as well, the same rules apply to them." Celestia walked out of the maids quarters and went to the royal dining hall. Luna, Discord, and Blueblood were already eating. Celestia took her rightful place at the head of the table, a unicorn butler instantly teleported with her meal. It was a five-star salad with expensive vegetables and dressing, but it was garbage compared to the sandwich from earlier.

"Did you enjoy your nap sister? you seem very well rested."

"Yes I did, but it was interrupted by a letter from Spike." Celestia bit into her salad.

"What did the dragon say?" asked Discord.

Celestia gave a fake sad sigh, "he caught Rarity and Pinkie making out on the couch, he asked me if he could stay at the castle for a while; I of course, said yes."

"Oh my! I always thought miss Rarity and Spike would make a cute couple," Luna didn't notice Celestias death glare pointed at her, "I guess I was wrong."

"Hmm" Discord stroked his beard, "I always thought Rarity was straight too, it seems... " he cast his gaze to Celestia, "odd"

Celestia shrugged, "she is a young, naïve mare, these kids these days always switch back and forth."

"Well, I'm actually glad Rarity is with Pinkie, if she couldn't get me, then the next best choice would be a fellow element of harmony- not some smelly beast." Celestia almost spit out her food. she looked at Blueblood with pure hatred in her eyes.

"What. did. you. just. say. nephew?"

"Oh, did you not hear me aunty? I said Rarity deserves better than that monstrous creatu-"

"You're excused Blueblood, return to your chambers." Celestia said through gritted teeth.

Blueblood looked confused, "why aunty? I was just stating the obvious." Celestia teleported her nephew back to his chambers and locked the door.

"I am done eating, I will be in my chambers if you need me." Celestia teleported to her library, leaving her confused sister and Discord.

"Luna... have you noticed Celestias behavior of late?"

Luna gave a sad sigh, "I have Discord, she seems to have a lot on her mind, I wonder what could be causing her so much trouble? I... have never seen her like this before. Maybe young Spike's visit will brighten her mood?"

Discord patted Luna on the back, "Oh don't worry lulu, I know his visit will definitely brighten her mood, But right now, I'll go talk to her." Discord snapped his fingers and went to celestias personal library. Celestia was reading a book when Discord appeared.

"Oh, did you finish eating?" Celestia asked without even looking at him.

Discord walked up to Celestia, "yes I did, but right now, you're sister is worried about your strange behavior."

Celestia closed her book,"my behavior is not strange, I am just... tired."

"And is Spike the cure?" He said with a smug grin.

"Why does it concern you?" She turned her head, her one visible eye was staring at Discord.

"Because I know you lllliiikkkkeee him!" Celestia when wide-eyed. Nopony knows about her affections for Spike.

Celestia stammered out a response, "No I don't." Celestia covered her face with her mane, attempting to hid her blush: she failed.

Discord noticed this and fell on the floor laughing, holding his gut before it literally burst open. "Oh man! I knew you had some form of affection for the dragon, but when you teleported Blueprick away, I knew I was right."

Celestia sighed, "okay? I like him! are you happy?"

Discord rose from the ground, "yes, I am." he snapped his fingers and disappeared. Celestia just stared into open space before speaking.

"If he fucks this up, I'll have him set in stone again... and hurl him into the sun." Celestia rose from her bed and walked to the calendar on the wall; on the calendar, a specific date was circled. "I need to make him mine before the day comes..."

**********

Spike, now finished saying goodbye to Applejack and Fluttershy, was now on his way tot he Everfree forest. He entered the dark forest, the animals would normally attack a baby dragon, but ever since Spike learned to increase his body temperature at will; the animals would avoid the walking volcano. Spike walked past Zecora's hut and the cave where the green dragon resides in, the dragon was walking to the old royal palace. Celestia had the bridge fixed so Spike could travel there quicker. he arrived at the stone palace after thirty minutes of walking. The baby dragon pushed the doors open and went straight for the old throne.

Nopony else knew about this: Twilight, Luna, or even Discord. It is a secret only Spike and Celestia knows about. Spike breathed emerald fire on the throne, it did not burn, but disappear; and in its place was a large hole with a staircase going all the way to the bottom. Spike walked down the staircase and into a giant cavern buried in the earth. In the cavern, two gargantuan creatures were asleep, one was bigger than the other and they laid side-by-side. Spike walked up to the creatures and hugged the larger one, then the smaller one.

"Hi...mom and dad."

Pride I.

The great dragons, descendants of the first to free themselves from greed, were sleeping peaceful atop a mountain of gems. The largest of the two was a 160-feet tall black dragon, his purple underbelly and scales still shimmered in the dark. The smaller one was a 140- feet tall green dragoness with a dark red underbelly and scales. Only the dragoness possessed wings.

The black dragons name was Jargon the country cracker. His draconic strength was... unnatural, he was twenty times stronger than a normal adult dragon. Twelve hundred years ago, Jargon ripped the diamond dog kingdom apart, forcing them to live underground and across the world.

The green dragoness was Ortinbras the scorcher, her flame was incredibly hot, countries could be reduced to ash and dust if they angered her. From the sky she would rain emerald fire on her enemies, destroying everything in her path.

Both of the great dragons fought with the ancients: Celestia and Luna, against Discord and his chaotic abilities, after hundreds of years filled with death and blood, they finally defeated him. Now the dragons are taking their 100 year sleep, the dark cave was full of black smoke, but it didn't bother them or Spike.

Spike knew everything about his parents that Celestia told him, their names, what type of food they like, how strong they are... and the deadline. Spike knew they would awaken in 60 days. Once they were awake; he would leave Equestria and live as a dragon for the rest of his life. He thought... if he could get Rarity to love him, then maybe he could have asked his parents if he could stay; he would truly have a reason to stay... but now that she is with Pinkie, it might be time for him to go.

"When you both wake up, you will know nothing about me, but I will know everything about you; I am the son of Jargon and Ortinbras. The two strongest dragons in the world are my parents and I wish I could live up to your standards... But it can't be that way. I mean what self respecting dragon lets a pony twist their heart?" He chided. His smile, though genuine, held nothing but sadness.

Spike patted his mothers giant head, "It's almost time to wake up, huh mom? I always did want to live as a real dragon and now I have the chance." Spike moved from his mother to his father. "Maybe you could show me how to break continents too dad? That would really cool!" Jargon released a puff of smoke from his nostrils, hitting Spike directly in his face. "Geez dad!" Spike waved the smoke away from his face; it didn't harm him at all, but it did inhibit his vision.

Spikes face became upset, he sighed. "You both can't hear me right now, but you should know I will be gone for a while. Rarity doesn't like me the same way I do her, at first, I wanted to cry, but that was soon replaced with rage." Spike balled his hand into a trembling fist. "It isn't fair! I spent six years of my life pleasing her, and out of nowhere, Pinkie comes in and takes her from me! I told Twilight and Rainbow dash that I still want to be their friend... but I don't, I 100% honestly do not want to see them again." Spike looked up at his parents. "Does this make me a bad dragon? Or are my pony instincts messing with my head?" Spike waited for any form of response: he never got it. He chuckled. "I knew you wouldn't be able to speak, I guess I'm just silly. Silly Spike always wishing for the impossible."

The baby dragon perked up. "But there is some good news! Celestia invited me to stay at the palace! Over time, we've become the best of friends, but... this is probably the last time I'll see her too." Spike slammed his fist into his hand with realization. "But she is immortal, so I know I will see her again. I'll probably be so big, she wouldn't even recognize me. But right now, I will hang out with her as much as possible." Spike sat down in front of his massive parents. "I have so many questions for the both of you; why am I aging so slow? Who is our ancestor. The one who freed himself from greed? Cause I did it too! I still feel the urges, but I can control it. I know that when a dragon greed growths to it's full maturity, the dragon won’t stop until it dies, guess that makes me really special huh?"

Spike brought his claw to his face. "It seems weird... I'm not strong physically and my fire isn't that great either, it almost seems like something is holding me back." He balled his claw into a fist, I wish you were both here right now, you have all the answers I want, but I just need to be patient."

Spike gave each of his parents a hug on the snout, "well, see ya in sixty days mom and dad... I love you both." Spike turned around and walked back up the stairs: he didn't hear the muffled "I Love you too."

Spike left the temple and stepped into the Everfree forest, he walked through without any trouble and arrived back in Ponyville. It was completely dark and almost seemed to be barren of life, Ponyville was never really a night town, like Las Pegasus or certain parts of Canterlot, but it was home... for now. Spike walked into the dull town until he heard somepony say his name.

"Huh?" he turned his head back and forth. "who's there? who called me?"

"Above you!" Spike used his claw to feel his head-instead he felt a hoof.

"Ah!” Spike knocked the pony off of his head, the pony gracefully fell to the ground. It was Pinkie Pie, one of the two ponies he didn't want to see. "Oh... hey Pinkie, why are you out so late?"

"Hey Spike! I was with Rarity all day, and it was time for me to go back home, then I saw you looking all gloomy so I decided to cheer you up!"

‘All day?! Geez, talk about clingy... or were they- no Spike! get your head out of the gutter, Rarity is a classy mare, there is no way they already had sex, but I don't know how long they have been together... maybe I should ask?’ The dragon thought. "So, what were you doing with Rarity all day?" Spike looked at Pinkie, trying to see if her face changed in anyway-it did.

Pinkie was blushing profusely and her hoof was digging into the ground. "Spike... you should know a mare never kisses and tells."

Spike gave a sad chuckle. "yeah, I do know that, so I guess you two are couple now?" Pinkie nodded her head vigorously.

"Yep! we officially became a couple today, but to be honest? I've liked Rarity for a long time now."

Spike went bug-eyed, ‘Today?! Really? I chased her for years, and all I get is a kiss on the cheek, while Pinkie is with her for one day and they do... whatever the tartarus they did because she won’t tell me?’

"H-how long have you liked Rarity, Pinkie?"

"I've liked Rarity for a while now... about two years to be exact, you know? it's funny, I always thought Rarity liked you; you two were always together, but when she told me she wanted to be my marefriend... it was one of the best days of my life."

"Oh- well I'm happy, for the both of you." Spike gave her his best fake smile, hoping it would work.

"Y-you're not mad?"

"Why would I be mad?"

'Because... you like Rarity too." Pinkie looked completely saddened.

"Oh... that, well if it makes you feel any better, I stopped liking Rarity in a romantic way a long time ago; the time we've been spending together... has just been as friends." Spike lied through his fangs. Pinkie immediately cheered up and gave Spike a big hug, he reluctantly returned it.

"Thank you Spike, I was worried you would be against this, I always thought you still liked her, but now that I know you don't, we can still be friends... right?"

Spike patted her poofy mane. "Yeah Pinkie, were still friends." Rarity on the other hand? fuck no.

Pinkie released her hug, "So, now that is out of the way, what were you doing in the Everfree forest at night? You do know how dangerous that place is?"

Spike waved a claw, "Yeah, I know, but none of the animals in the forest would mess with me; I was just going for a walk."

Pinkie brows raised, "A walk... in the dark, creepy Everfree forest?" She didn't believe him for a second.

Again, Spike waved his claw, "Maybe too you ponies it's scary, but to a dragon? That forest is a cakewalk."

Pinkie rubbed her chin with a hoof, "Hmm... Ok! I believe you; oh! I almost forgot." Pinkie pulled a card out of her mane and gave it to Spike.

"What's this?" Spike opened the card: inside was a picture of Rarity and Pinkie surrounded by hearts. Spike wanted to set the card on fire, but decided against it. "What is this for? A party or something?"

"Exactly! me and Rarity are having a party to celebrate our relationship! it's the day after tomorrow, all of our friends will be there, and you’re coming too... Right?"

Spike rubbed the back of his neck, "Maybe, I'm going to Canterlot for a few days s-"

"That's perfect! While you’re there, you can invite the princesses and Discord, I know he'll be there!" Pinkie pulled out three more cards and gave them to Spike. "Remember Spike; the day after tomorrow, see ya!" The baker then hopped back to Sugarcube Corner.

Spike stood in the middle of Ponyville's empty main street, with the four cards Pinkie gave him, he put the three for the princesses and Discord on the ground and kept his in his hand. "I hate this so much, I should be happy for them... but I'm not. I-I can try forgive Pinkie but not Rarity, she played with my heart, and that's something I can never forgive, my pride won’t let me." Spike blew emerald fire onto his card, the card turned to ashes almost instantly, leaving only a few embers on the ground. Spike stomped on the ember and rubbed them out, he then picked up the other three cards and left for home.

The walk home was uneventful and forgettable, nothing important happened. Spike walked into the Library to see Twilight studying more of the Star Swirl book.

"Hey Twilight, how long you've been studying?'

Twilight turned around, “Hey Spike, I've reading this book for a few hours, Star Swirl’s journal is incredible! There is so many spells in this book that Star Swirl never could complete because he was just a unicorn; but enough with the studying, where have you been?"

"I was in the Everfree, taking a walk, oh! And I contacted Celestia, she said I can come to the Palace, she's sending a chariot in the morning."

"That's great Spike, it will be good for you to get away, did you say your goodbyes?"

"Yeah. I already told Applejack and Fluttershy, Dash already knows and I saw Pinkie a few minutes ago," Spike showed Twilight the cards. "She gave me these to give to the princesses and Discord while I'm in Canterlot."

"Wait a second, Pinkie didn't give you one?" Twilight asked confused.

Spike laughed nervously, "Yeah she did... but I sneezed on it."

Twilight sighed, "Well, at least you told the truth, so are you going?" Spike blew some smoke from his nostrils.

"Yes, I'm going, if I don't, Pinkie will get mad, and I don't want her mad at me."

Twilight nodded but just remembered something, “Oh! Spike, you forgot to tell Rarity you’re leaving!"

The dragon shrugged, "And that concerns me... how?" Twilight gasped loudly. "What? She toyed with my emotions for years, I don't want to see her at all."

"But Spike, she's your friend..."

Spike chuckled, "My friend? Are you serious!? friends don’t do what she did to me, friends don't toy with one's emotions to get them to do things for them," Spike stomped his foot on the floor. "Friends don't fuck with each others hearts! Rarity is nothing but a cold, manipulating mare and I want nothing to do with her ever again!" Spike finally released all of the tears he held back today, they were streaming down his face while he ran upstairs to his bed.

Twilight was still downstairs, she was crying her eyes out, her face was wet and her eyes were red and puffy, ‘Oh Spike... I had no idea how much this actually hurt you; now you don't even want to be friends with Rarity anymore? Will things ever be the same again?’ She thought as she wept for their dead friendship, she wept for the pain he would soon feel at the party.

Spike ran to his bedroom and jumped into his new bed, messing up the covers in the process, “I-I hate her... yet why?” The young dragon asked. “Why can't I stop loving her?" That night, Spike cried himself to sleep, that night his heart broke, but that paled in comparison to his shattered pride.

59 days until awaking.

Lust III.

Ponyville: 9:00 A:M

"What's that smell?" Spike woke up to something frying, he sniffed the air, "mhmm hay bacon..." Spike hopped out of the bed and ran down the stairs; Twilight was cooking... she never cooks. "Geez, Twilight, I'm not going away forever, you don't need to cook for me."

Twilight levitated the hay bacon to a plate which already had three stacks of pancakes on it, "yes I do Spike, you had a rough day yesterday and this is the least I can do: sending you on your way to the princess with a full stomach!" Twilight chirped, she brought the plate to the table, Spike hopped up on the chair, grabbed the knife and fork that was placed there by Twilight and digged in. Twilight sat on the opposite end of the table , "So Spike? are you all packed?" she said as she cut her pancake.

Spike swallowed one of his pancakes whole before speaking, "there's nothing to pack Twilight, I don't wear clothes, the castles has all the things I would need, like towels, toothbrushes and body wash, and if I want to communicate with you, I'll just send you a letter." Spike continued to eat, as did twilight.

They ate in silence until somepony knocked on the door, "who can that be, Spike you keep eating, I'll get the door." Twilight got up from the table and walked to the door, she opened the door to see who was knocking, it was Rarity. She tried to walk in but Twilight walked outside and shut the door, Rarity looked confused.

"Twilight? whats going on? I can't come in?"

Twilight sighed, "Rarity, what are you doing here? shouldn't you be at home right now?"

"Well, fashion never sleeps, I have a order from princess Celestia herself." Rarity stuck her nose into the air.

"Huh? the princess? why does she need a dress? the Grand Galloping Gala isn't until next month."

"I know, that's what I said, but the princess said she has a fancy date this week and needs a dress."

Twilight looked dumbfounded, "Rarity, I've know the princess for twenty years; I have yet to see her go on a date with anypony. In fact: according to the history books, Celestia rarely ever dated; she only picked the finest stallions and mares as suitors, and now all of a sudden, she has a date?! I'll believe it when I see it. But you still didn't tell me why you're here."

"Oh! where are my manners, I was going to ask Spike if he would go gem hunting with me."

"Rarity... Spike doesn't want so see you right now."

The designer gasped, "why wouldn't he want to see me? have I done something to bother him?"

Twilight raised a brow, "really? Rarity... you really are a piece of work. you break his heart, then the very next day, you ask him to help you?!" Twilight was no longer calm; she was pissed, "Rarity, I need to ask you this, why did you play with Spike like that? You really hurt him."

"What did I do Twilight?"

"OMC! Rarity! Spike caught you with Pinkie! he feels like you used him for seven years, and from the way your acting, I'm inclined to believe him."

The library door creek open, "hey Twilight, I finished eating... and I ate your plate too, but at least I washed the dishes..." When Spike opened the door completely- he stopped talking, but he growled angrily, "why are you here?" he spat.

Rarity tried to walk up to Spike, but twilight stopped her with her magic, "Spike... is it true? did you see me and Pinkie?" Spike didn't say anything, he just simple nodded, "I see- all-"

"Rarity- did you ever like me? just tell me the truth...please I need to know." Spike was pleading for the truth.

"Spike, for a while... I really did like you, then one day, I woke up... not liking you."

Spike and Twilight were shocked at this answer, "leave," said Twilight.

"But Twilight-" Rarity was stopped by the sound of a royal chariot landing behind her, Rarity turned around too see four royal guards pulling the chariot. One of the guards unhooked himself from the chariot and walked up to the library.

The guard saluted, "princess Twilight, Madame Rarity, is Spike the dragon ready?"

Spike nodded, "yeah, I'm ready." Spike turned to Twilight, "try to survive without me, ok Twilight?"

Twilight giggled, "I can take care of myself just fine Spike, but I'll miss you." Twilight lowered herself down to Spikes level so that he could hug her. Spike did just so.

"Don't worry, you can visit anytime, its only the palace." Spike patted twilight on the back.

The princess chuckled, "you're right... well you need to get going, don't want to leave princess Celestia waiting do you?"

Spike released the hug, "no I don't, I'll see ya later Twilight." Spike moved to the chariot without even looking at Rarity, he hopped in back and waited to depart.

The same guard saluted and also returned to the chariot, he hooked back up, "Ok men! back to Canterlot," the four guards began galloping to pick up speed, flapping their wings in the process, they soon flew into the air and were bound for Canterlot.

Rarity was confused, "Twilight, why did the guards take Spike?"

"Because... Spike couldn't handle living here anymore with the news about you and Pinkie, he needed a vacation; so I suggested he takes his mind off things in the palace, Celestia agreed with this... and you know the rest." Twilight returned back to the library, leaving a near-breakdown Rarity outside.

"Oh, Spike-Wikey, I'm sorry I hurt you so badly."

Airway between Ponyville and Canterlot: 9:30 A:M

Spike was chillin in the back seat with his hands behind his head, "ahh, I forgot how comfortable the royal chariots are," Spike moved to the front of the chariot, "so... what's it like being a guard?"

Silence.

"Cause I heard your training regiment is incredibly grueling, Celestia makes you train like your gladiators, all day and almost all night, just to join her guard." Spike waited for a response.

Silence.

Spike scratched his head, "It always confused me; why does a immortal alicorn need a bunch guards protecting her? any threat to her can be defeated quite easily, I mean, she raises the sun! I don't think she needs protection." Spike put his hand behind his frill.

One of the guards coughed.

"That's it, I give up trying to make you guys talk." Spike went back to the back of the chariot and took a nap- for about six minutes, the flight to Canterlot from Ponyville does not take that long. Spike woke up to the sound of four set of hooves hitting the earth, the chariot was in front of Canterlot castle, "huh? where here already? I just went to sleep." Spike groaned and hopped out of the chariot; Spike waited outside for the princess to come out.

He waited for a few minutes until a guard came out of the castle, "Spike the dragon, the princess is busy with a meeting with the Canterlot nobles, you are to wait in princess Celestia's private chambers until the meeting is over."

"Oh ok, you don't need to show me, I know where to go." Spike walked into the castle, "the castle still looks the same, after all this time... except for them" The grand hall was full of ponies from different noble houses, the lower class nobles were in the hall waiting for the meeting to be over while the higher-ups met with princesses "I wonder what could be going on?" Spike walked past the nobles, most of them gave Spike strange looks, they never would have thought a dragon would be walking around the royal castle.

Spike walked up the ridiculously long staircase up to Celestias room, "I wish would put her room on the ground floor," Spike was panting and sweating profusely, but anypony would after walking thirty flights of stairs. He finally made it to the top of the spiral: Celestias room was huge, like ridiculously huge: her bed could easily fit six ponies of her size, it dark red satin sheets were beautifully woven by hoof, her ceiling had a large mural of her sun assorted with jewels that gleamed even in the darkness. Too the left was a door that led to her study and to the right was her private bathroom.

Spike sniffed his armpit, "whew! dragons sure do stink," Spike looked in the direction of the bathroom, "will Celestia get mad if I use her shower?" Spike shrugged, "she's in a meeting, I'll be out long before she comes back, besides; you cant meet a princess smelling like ass." The dragon walked into the bathroom: it was large, especially her bathtub. Spike scratched his head, "why is everything in Celestia's tower so darn big? it's almost like she has a lover to share it with." Spike got into the shower.

Canterlot meeting room: 10:00 A:M

Celestia and Luna were in a meeting with the nobles discussing the plans for the Grand Galloping Gala next month; Luna always like the Gala, she has only been one hundred times, ninety-four before she was banished and six since her return. On the other hand, this is Celestia's eleventh hundred and seventeenth Gala... and she is sick of it. The only good thing about this Gala, in her opinion, was that she is going to announce Spike as her lover. She knew she only had fifty-nine more days until Jargon and Ortinbras come back, and they would put a huge damper on her plans.

I know I can get him to love me in two months, it shouldn't be that hard, Spike said he fell in love with Rarity the moment he saw her; and I know for a fact I am much more attractive than her. I'm taller, stronger, well-toned with a flank that surpasses all other mares. My body is absolutely flawless and eternal. Celestia smirked out loud. And soon... so will he, once I'm done with him.

"Sister? did you have anything to contribute?" Luna asked.

Celestia train of thought was broken by her sister, "Oh! I'm so sorry everypony, I was thinking of something very important- anyway, with the Gala this year, I want to invite the elements families and friends. This years Gala will be a night to remember; and I want everypony of importance there this year."

Blueblood sighed, "their families and friends? aunty, most of, if not all of them are commoners, they would dirty this prestigious event, they have no value." most of the nobles agree to this, Canterlot was primarily a unicorn city with a very few earth ponies and pegasui, a large amount of nobles see the other two types of ponies as lesser beings then them.

"Blueblood, you shouldn't think like that, it's probably why most of the country hates you," said Fancy Pants.

"What?! I am beloved by all of the subjects of Equestria!"

"No, your not nephew, in fact; you are the least popular stallion in Equestria," Luna stated. "Anyway, back to business, I agree with Celestia about the elements family and friends, but I am confused, what will be different about this Gala?"

Celestia gave her sister a wink, "It's a secret, you'll find out at the Gala, now if you will excuse me, I have a guest to attend to, Luna, could you finish up here?"

Luna nodded, "of course sister," Celestia rose from her seat and walked away with her wings spread out, showing the nobles who really runs this kingdom, she walked out of the meeting room; the nobles outside bowed, Celestia ignored them and talked to one of her guards, "has Spike the dragon arrived yet?"

"Yes your highness, he is in your chambers as we speak."

Celestia smiled, "good." she teleported from the grand hall to the door outside her chambers, there were two guards stationed outside, "you gentlecolts can have the rest of the day off, you are not needed," the guards obey her orders and walked down the tower. Once they were out of ear-shot, Celestia dropped her façade and became very nervous. She trotted back and forth in front of her room, "ok Celestia... it's no big deal, you've talked to Spike in private before- but this is different, his heart is broken and I will mend it with my own. I raise the sun, ruled a nation for over one thousand, and have millions of loyal subjects; other countries see me as a goddess! surely I can make this drake mine." Celestia stood in front of the door, she took a deep breath and used her magic to open it. She poked her head through the door, "Spike are you in here?" Celestia looked around her room; Spike was nowhere to be found... but her shower was running.

The solar princesses face turned red, "S-spike is using... my shower," she finished with a dreamy tone I her voice, Celestia's ears perked up, the shower was turned off, she heard the sound of feet on marble floors, Celestia walked over to her pallet, tucked her hooves underneath herself and waited for Spike to come out. "Huh? what's this?" Celestia saw three cards on her floor, she levitated one of the cards over and read it. "So Pinkie wants to throw a party for her relationship with Rarity? if Spike goes, I can console him during this troubling event."

"Ahh, I needed that shower, Celestias bathroom bets ours by a long shot! Spike got out of the shower, the water slid off of his scales, he lifted his armpit and sniffed, "smells like a mid-morning breeze," the dragon walked out of the shower; only to see Celestia sitting on her pallet reading on of Pinkies cards. "Oh, hey Celestia, I see you found the cards?"

Celestia looked up the instant she heard his voice, "yes I have, and I must say... I'm quite surprised you were invited to the event."

Spike sighed and walked over to the pallet and sat down, "yeah... I didn't want to go, but Pinkie invited me, she thought I was over Rarity a long time ago, or so I told her." Spike had a surprised look on his face; Celestia wrapped one of her soft wings around him and brought him to her side. "What's this for?"

"I just cant stand seeing you so upset," Celestia said truthfully, she didn't want to hurt him so badly; she didn't have a choice.

"Thanks Celestia, you're a real friend, unlike Rarity," Spike snarled her name out. "It's to bad I have to leave soon." Spike looked depress, but Celestia looked worse. She looked pissed, a light growl escaped her lips; Spikes frills heard this and he poked her with a claw. "Hey... what's wrong?' Celestia didn't answer, "Is it about me leaving Equestria?" she gave a light nod. "Celestia, we always knew this day would come eventually, and it's not like I wont ever see you again; your immortal and I can live up too a million years, we have a long time to hang out and stuff."

"You're right, Spike; we do have a long time, but right now," She brought him closer to her side, Spike laid his head on her neck, Celestia blushed furiously. "How about we go do something? we could explore the city, I know you haven't been here in a while."

Spike nodded, "yeah, that sounds nice... but don't you have things to do? You run the country, I don't think you can just take the day off."

Celestia scoffed, "Luna and Discord can handle all the important things, you forget Spike," she poked him in the belly, "that you are here on vacation."

The dragon laughed at the warm sensation of her hoof, "Ok Celestia, you're right, but where do we go?"

"Hmm... well the movie theater has a new selection of films, would you like to go." Spike nodded, "ok hop on my back." Spike did as she asked, he hopped up an laid on her back. Celestia lightly whimpered in delight, her knees wobbled a little.

"Hey, are you ok? I'm not to heavy; am I?" Spike thought he was fat now.

"No Spike, your perfect; now, lets go to the theater." Celestia teleported to the chariot and carriage station in the palace. A large amount of guard pegasui and unicorns were working out or playing cards; when they noticed Celestia standing in front of them, they sprang into action, all of them got in a straight. single file line.

... it's like their in the first grade all over again.

"Gentlecolts, I require six unicorns and Pegasus plus a carriage for me and my friend." As soon those words left her regal lips, the guards sprang into action, twelve soldiers pulled out a carriage from the stable, brought it in front of Celestia, and opened the door. The solar princess walked into the carriage, Spike got on one side while Celestia got on the other. The carriage began to move outside of the palace and into the city.

"Wow Celestia, you sure trained your guards well, I've never seem ponies react so quickly before."

Celestia giggled, "Spike, I have had to rule a nation by myself for a thousand years, I needed ponies who were quick and would follow me indefinitely. I have done many things to protect my little ponies."

The dragon rubbed his chin, "that does make sense, if I was in your position, I would do the same thing,"

"Well, I am glad you agree with my methods; now, what movie would you like to see?"

Spike assumed a thinking position, Hmm... I would prefer a action movie, or a comedy! but- this is probably one of the few days Celestia has had off in a long time; she's a real friend, I'll her choose. "Why don't you pick? anything you want to see, I'll be fine with it."

"Oh! I wasn't expecting that, well- there is a new romance movie I wanted to see, but I've been so busy lately; I never had a chance to see it."

Inwardly Spike smirked. I somehow knew it would be some cheesy romance flick, mares love those movies. "What's it called?"

Celestia fumbled with her hooves, trying to avoid Spikes gaze. "The Dragon and the Princess."

"That... is a stupid title, who would even think of something like that?"

Celestia shook her hooves in front of her, "oh no Spike, I have heard it is quite good."

Spike raised a brow, "a true story of a dragon falling in love with a princess? why haven't I heard of this before?"

"I like I said, it is suppose to be true, but many ponies believe it so." Spike still didn't look convinced. "You'll just have to see for yourself. Besides, were all ready here." Spike parted the curtain; the carriage was in front of the Canterlot movie theater. One of the guards opened the door to let Spike and Celestia out; Spike hopped out and held out his claw. "What's this?"

"I'm being chivalrous your highness, isn't it customary for the gentledrake to do this for his princess?" Spike knew he was joking, but Celestia took this act very seriously.

"Why yes it is," she placed her hoof in Spikes claw... it was bigger than his hand by a long shot. his arm was wavering under the intense weight of the sun.

Geez! this mare is heavy! she needs to lay off the cake and eat a salad.

Celestia walked out of the carriage with her other hooves, she gracefully touched the ground; and the ass-kissing Canterlot ponies tried to speak with the princess, her guards blocked the ponies while her and Spike walked into the theater. Most of the rich ponies were shocked to see one of there princesses mingling with a dragon.

"I guess the princess got rid of the phoenix and decided to get a dragon for a pet."

"I bet he was abandoned and our merciful princess is showing him how a pony lives... before throwing him back in the wild!"

Most of the nobles laughed at their jokes, the guards stayed silent, Spike ignored their comments... but Celestia was a different story. her normal magenta eyes; for a brief second, went completely green with a small amount of shadows coming off the edge of her eyes. She quickly shook her head to erase the thoughts that were brewing . What just happened? in all my life, I have never let black magic take control over me, but for that second, it did. I wanted to hurt my subjects.. and for what? using their right to free speech? Celestia looked down at Spike. Is my love for him that strong? Her thoughts were interrupted by a claw poking her leg.

"Hey, were gonna miss the movie if you keep standing there."

Celestia smiled down at him; "you're right.," Celestia placed Spike on her back and walked... straight into the movie. The Canterlot theater has a balcony for the nobles and higher-ups in the military, some of nobles were already sitting there, the theater was packed. "Ahem," the nobles turned around and saw Celestia with a brow; she gave them a very slight tilt of her head, signifying "get out." the nobles left with a speed to match the sonic rainboom. Spike sat down an wiggled into the seat.

"Wow! this chair is comfy! I don't remember the Canterlot theater seats being so comfortable."

"That's what the VIP section gives you Spike," Celestia sat right next to him.

"I guess being a princess has it's perks huh? but what about snacks and drinks? you walked right past the concession stand." Spike patted his stomach.

Celestia smirked and clopped her hooves twice; a unicorn in a suit appeared, Spike wasn't expecting this and fell out of his seat. "Good sir, I require popcorn, two drinks and a plate of your best gems." the unicorn nodded and teleported away. "Now Spike; you should know, this movie is mature."

Spike's face turned red, "Oh... you don't mind watching something like that? with me?"Celestia shook her head, “not at all; we are both adults, and besides, this was my choice after all.”

“If you say so Celestia,” the lights in the theater grew dim; since movies were new in Equestria, the screen was in black and white. The same unicorn came back with the food and a tray; he placed the tray in between Spike and Celestia, put the food down, bowed, and left.

Spike grabbed a emerald and started munching on it, “this is good! I wonder if they will tell me where these came from.”

Celestia put her hoof to her lips, “shush! The movie is starting.”

The blank screen turned white; in big, black letters were: “The Dragon and the Princess.”

Spike prompted his elbow on the seat, and placed his head on his claw. “I don't want to see this crap; there is no way this is a true story.” Spike looked at Celestia; she seemed to really want to see this movie. “But she looks happy, i bet she never gets to do things like this.”

The movie was almost over... and boring, so ridiculously boring like most romance movies.

Spike began counting how many purple scales he had; all of his gems and popcorn was already gone. Celestia still had her food, she used her magic to hold her drink and popcorn; she really seemed into the movie.

Spike couldn't tell what color the dragon was, but it was equal height with the pony princess, it didn't have wings and had a lizard-like body. He also couldn't tell what color she was, she seemed to have a somewhat dark coat; the princesses cutie mark; for some reason, was blurred out. Her mane was not like Celestia or Lunas; it was like a regular pony’s. The dragon never said the princesses name, he just called her princess. The dragon’s name was Morphisor.

The princess and Morphisor were having an affair; Morphisor had a dragoness named Magor who was pregnant. He went to find rare gems for his mate... and has been missing for over a week.

Currently, Morphisor and the princess were sitting on a bench in the park at night. no other ponies were around.

“Oh Morphisor,” the princess laid her head on the dragons chest, Morphisor ran his claw through her mane, “I wish you didn't have to leave, I love being with you.” The princess looked up at Morphisor, “do you really have to go tomorrow?”

Morphisor nodded sadly, “I do my princess, but Magor will have the hatchlings soon... I need to be there.” Morphisor placed a finger under the princesses chin and brought her into a kiss. need “But know this; Magor may have my children, but you have my heart and soul.”

The princess had tears welling in her eyes, “Morphisor, I love you, I love you so much it hurts to see you leave, so.” The princesses tone suddenly turned from love to lust, “can we... make love under the stars?”

Morphisor grew a sly grin, “of course your highness.”

Spike’s eyes almost popped out of his head; he knew what sex was, Twilight had plenty of magazines under her bed. But he never seen sex like... this! Morphisor was running his claws all over the princesses body, and in her body as well. Spike elbowed Celestia’s leg “I knew claws were better than hooves, but i didn't know they were that great.” Celestia said nothing, she was focused on the movie.

“Oh Morphisor; you’re claws are glorious! don’t stop, don’t you dare bucking stop!”

“I never stop,” he placed another claw inside her, “I won't stop until my last breath leaves my freed body.”

Spike looked confused, “freed? what does he mean by freed? could he mea-,” Spike shook his head, “ no, there is no way he could mean that.”

Morphisor entered her, the princess screamed out in pleasure; she had no idea dragons have two penises. Both of them were inside her, and she loved the sensation of his cocks. The princess wrapped her hooves around his neck. “Yes Yes!”

Spike had to cover his ears from the princesses loud shouting, “geez lady, I know he’s giving it to you good, but you don't need to blast my frills off!

There was a cutscene in the movie; most of the audience was pissed. A dragoness was walking past the border of the country; her belly was large and round. Everypony and dragon knew exactly who this was: Magor, Morphisor’s mate.

“Oh shit,” Celestia finally spoke since the movie came on.

“Where could he be? i have been waiting for over a week in the forest, he knows i should be moving right now. But... what if something happened to him?” Magor walked past the border and saw a huge ball of magic; it enveloped the a large amount of land in the distance. “What is that?! I’ve never seen pony magic like that before! could Morphisor be there?” Magor got all fours and ran to the scene, after ten minutes of running, she made it to the ball of energy, it condensed into something... something monstrous .

Magor placed a claw over her mouth, fear in her eyes “W-what is that??”

To be continued in part 2: coming next month!

Ponies in the audience were furious, they grumbled and threw empty popcorn buckets at the screen.

“I was only halfway done! Halfway done!!”

“What kind of bullcrap is that?!” Spike rose from his seat, “who does something like that!?”

Celestia huffed, “apparently, somepony who enjoys causing others trouble.” The lights returned to the theater, ponies left the theater and went about their business. Spike and Celestia left the theater and returned to the carriage.

“Well... that was boring until the end; I mean seriously, a five hour movie? really? I never was into romance movies and now I have a reason to stay away from them like poison joke.” Spik crossed his arms and looked out the window as they departed back to the castle.

“Spike, if you don’t like those kind of movies, why did you want to see it?”

Spike sighed and looked at Celestia, “because i knew you wanted to; this vacation isn't just for me, it’s for you too.” Spike walked over to Celestia’s side of the carriage; he fell a few times until he finally made it. “You do so much for Equestria, heck, the whole planet! you raise the sun everyday, you give life to the planet and protect your nation.” Spike placed a claw on her shoulder. “everypony deserves a break... even you.”

Celestia attacked at break-neck speed, she placed her lips directly on his. Spike froze, “Holy crap! why is Celestia kissing me?! Does she l-like me or something? but her lips taste good, almost as good as a fire ruby... almost” Spike waited a few seconds for something to happen, his eyes were darting back and forth until he felt something lap his fangs. “is that her tongue? is she asking to enter my m-m-mouth?”

She kept licking his teeth, feeling the sharp edges of his fangs, “this is so much better then when he was frozen; his hot warm breath, delicious fangs; they have a minerally taste to them, must be from the gems. but why won't he let me in?!

“Should i do it? inwardly, Spike shrugged, “I might as well, don't have anything to lose.” Spike finally parted his fangs to let Celestia in, she darted her tongue into his mouth; feeling the inside of his mouth. She moaned deeply, sending an unfamiliar sensation into Spike. “that... felt nice, really nice, wait, what was that?” Spike broke the kiss, “Celestia, why did you do that?”

“No! i did... its just, nopony has ever done that with me before. then you kissed me out of nowhere, and i’m still getting over Rarity and... it’s just really confusing.” Celestia placed a hoof under Spikes chin and brought his face to hers, “wha-” she kissed him again, this time, she forced her tongue in his mouth. Spike was shocked at this sudden action, “again? is this mare addicted to me or something?! But this feels familiar, very familiar, and so fucking good.” Spike broke the kiss again, “get on the floor,now.” Spike spoke in a deep and commanding tone full of lust; his eyes slit and his tongue acted like a snakes. Celestia liked this, she used her magic to remove her royal garments.

“Yes Spike.” Celestia got up and gentle laid on the carriage floor, her mane was covering one of her eyes while the other was half-lidded, her tail swished back and forth very slowly; giving Spike ample time to stare at her pink slit and outer lips.“yes! it’s finally happening, i will have my drake.” Come down here Spike,” Celestia’s voice was thick with arousal, her horn glowed a bright yellow, her magic enveloped her marehood, opening her rosy lips, already swollen with the thought of Spike fucking her into the ground, “Didn't you want more “enchanted water?”

“Enchanted water... was her juices?” Spike hopped off the seat and placed his face directly in front of pussy; he could see her pink walls secreting more of the delicious fluids. He inhale... then exhaled; Celestia shuddered. “it does smell raspberries, and has the same look... maybe,” before he could finish his thought, Spikes tongue involuntarily jutted inside of Celestia; The sun goddess yelped. It is the enchanted water, but why was- oh who cares! Spike was about to eat her out; but he felt something inside of him, something extremely familiar. “No! why now, why?!” Spike got up from Celestia's marehood and burped up a scroll.

“I never thought i would think this; but buck you Twilight Sparkle! Twilight has completely ruined the mood; Spike eyes turned back to normal, as did his tongue. “What does she want?”

Spike opened the scroll and began to read it.

Dear Princess Celestia.

I have gained better control over the Star Swirl time spell; i can now stop time in a fixed location plus control how large i make the time field. I still have a long way to go before i reach your level, but I am getting close!

Sincerely

Your faithful student and fellow princess; Twilight Sparkle.

P.S.

How is Spike doing in Canterlot? before he left, Rarity told him how she felt about him... I could see the hurt in his face, i hope he has a good time, he deserves it.

P.P.S.

Fluttershy really wants to see Discord again; she hasn't seen him in months, she wants to talk to him at Pinkie and Rarity’s party tomorrow.

When Spike finished reading the scroll; the carriage door opened, Celestia scowled and put shoes, necklace and tiara back on. “Spike... we will continue our discussion later on today, are you ok with that?”

”Um... yeah! I’ll see ya later.” Spike ran out of the carriage and into the castle; “What in the world happened to me? it... felt like the greed all over again, but... different and focused on only one thing: Celestia. Why was her juices on the library floor in the first place? Spike stopped and asked a passing maid where his room was, she told him it was in between the royal spirals. Spike walked into his room, shut the door, and laid on the bed. “So Celestia likes me huh? but why? she could get any stallion she wanted with ease... why would she want a foolish dragon like me? Spikes frills perked, somepony was knocking on the door. Spike crossed his fingers, “come in," please don't be Celestia, please don't be Celestia...

“Spike?” Celestia peered her head past the open double doors. The dragon cursed loudly,but quickly covered his mouth, Celestia went from worried to sad in an instant, “oh, I guess you don't want to see me right now... I’ll ju-”

“Wait,” Spike patted the bed, “come sit next to me.” Celestia face visible brightened; she fully opened the door and trotted to the bed, well, she didn't sit on the bed, she laid on the fancy rug in front of the bed. She was directly in front of Spike. He rubbed the back of his head, “so... you like me huh?” Celestia nodded happily, “since when?”

Twenty years ago. "Spike... we have been the best of friends for many years; many wonderful years- i honestly do not know when i started liking you; but you're leaving in sixty days, and... my emotions got the better of me in the carriage; i got carried away.”

“But why me? I’m just a baby dragon who can't tell when he is getting played’ you could get anypony you desire.”

Celestia gave Spike a quick peck on the lips, “I don't want a pony; I want a dragon at least... for a while,” Celestia nuzzled into his chest, she looked at him with pleading eyes; “In the case we never meet again... could you give me the best two months of my eternal life?”

Spike blinked, looking down at the ancient who wants to be with him. "Celestia- I'm honored, but... I don't want to hurt you later on. When my parents come back, if we really go through with this, I couldn't live with the hurt I caused you." Celestia kissed him again,

"I don't care; I just want you for as long as possible." Celestia looked at him with tears welling in her eyes.

"I-I need to think about... this for a while, could you... go; I'll give you my answer later."

Celestia nodded, "of course, I will see you at dinner." She kissed him again on the lips, got up from the floor, and walked out. The door shut and Celestia teleported back to her chambers. Her crocodile tears were already gone."Excellent; the plan worked like a charm, the change has begun, I just need to be patient... and by the party... Spike will be mine."
