The Rainbows Of Spike

Rainbow could feel something, she wasn't totally sure what it was, but whatever it was, she loved it.

It was something warm, something hard, while something else was soft, she couldn't really describe it, but she was determined to find out what it was.

Opening her heavy eyes, all she saw was purple, as well as something wrapped around her body.

She was having a hard time figuring out what in the hay was going on, and where she currently was. But she was having trouble doing so, not only were her eyes refusing to see probably, but her eyes kept demanding to be shut again.

Though the rainbow maned Pegasus refused to give up until she figured it out. She was Rainbow Dash after all.

Rainbow Dash, with a little shake of her head, her eyes finally adjusted, from both awakening and the darkness.

And she finally found out what the purple scales were.

Oh, it's just Spi-SPIKE!

Rainbow yelp in surprise, and struggled to break free, only to be restrained by something. And that something, was Spike wing.

Dash was beyond confused to at her current situation, as this was one hay of a way to wake up.

But all her struggling caused something for Spike, as he smiled, retreating his wing, and hugging the surprised mare.

But what was more surprising to her, was the her hoofs were already hugging the drake.

Though as soon as the drake's claws wrapped around her, that warm feeling returned, and doubled, as she took on a massive blush, to which she was happy Spike was asleep, so couldn't see her face.

After a couple of minutes in the embrace, the mare started to lose herself, any thinking to why she was like this, or rather be mad that she was in this kinda situation was gone. All that remained was a drifting mare, as she fell back into the world of dreams, the warm feeling sticking with her.

The mare and the drake kept embracing each other, even in sleep. But soon the embrace was broken off, as the howling of timber wolves could be heard, causing the drake to shoot up in defense.

But just as he he was he had felt a weight had been lifted of his chest, to which was true.

He looked at Dash, who was still in slumber.

She must of have been tired.

Weird, you worked out all day.

I am a dragon, remember Cole?

Right, sorry.

Spike heard the howls of the timber wolfs again, as he began to stand up, deeming his nap to be over.

He walked over to Dash, gently shaking her.

“Come on Dash, it's time to go home.”

All he got was grumbling, as a hoof batted his claws away.

“Come on Dash, you can sleep all you want at home.”

Again, the mare grumbled at him again.

Spike sighed, as he looked among the trees.

iIf she's this tired, then there's no way she can fly home.

Though, as if some one answered his prayers, Spike eyes met a familiar barn.

Spike went back to Dash, hopping to actually get her up this time.

“Come on Dash, you can crash at AJ, you don't even need to fly.”

To Spike's surprise, the mare actually answered him.

“Just give me five more minutes!”

That sound familiar to you Cole?

Yeah, I believe it's. “Five more minutes Twi!?”

Ha, can always count on you to remember everything.

Hard to forget when it happens everyday.

Spike didn't really want to wait five minutes. But then an idea came to mind, something that would give Dash her sleep, and him to get her to AJ.

“Hey Dash, if you don't want to walk, I could just, you know, carry you.”

Rainbow brought her head up.

“No, I'll walk. There's no way I'm going to be miss Girly Girl. No hero is going to carry me.”

Spike chuckled, as the mare fell back to the ground.

“You don't seem to be getting up Dash.”

“I'm getting there.”

Spike sighed, as he knew that he was going to need to take things from here.

Just as the mare thought she could return to the dream world, a pair of claws went under her frame, slowly lifting her into the air.

“Hey, what do you think you're doing big guy?” Rainbow asked, starting to wake up just a little more.

“Carrying you.”

“But I told you I didn't want to play some princess.”

“And you're not, I'm just a friends, helping out another friend, aright?”

Rainbow mumbled something, before resigning with. “Aright.”

“And besides, I'm no hero.”

“Yet.”

Spike let out a small chuckle, as he looked down at the mare.

“Go and get some sleep, I'll cover from here.”

And if almost on cue, Rainbow idmeaddly went back to sleep. It amazed Spike, he never saw any pony pass out that fast.

Spike only stared at the mare for a bit, before bringing his head back up, and resuming his walk to Sweet Apple Acres.

It wasn't a long walk for the drake. Aside from the howling, and the dark background surround by trees, it was a peaceful walk for the drake.

But soon the darkness was absurd, from the little light that came from the apples family house.

“Dash, we're here, time to wake up”

Dash began to stir from her sleep, waking up with a. “What?”

“I said-”

“I heard ya!” Said loudly, not realizing it.

She made enough noise to wake someone in the apples house, as hoof steps could be heard, and the front door opening.

Rainbow Dash looked at the door, to be met with a tired, yet confused Applejack.

“Dash, Spike, why are you two here. Spike why are you carrying Dash, and why are you two out here so late, making noise no less?”

Spike tried his best to think of a reason as to why he was in this position, but before any ideas could come to mind, Dash started to move.

“Great thing you're up AJ” Dash said, as she leaped out of the drake's arms. “You wouldn't believe how tired I am, I mean I'm really out of it.” Dash just passed AJ, entering her home, and flopping into her couach. “Goodnight everypony.” She closed her eyes for a second, before re opening them. “Oh, and dragon!” And with that, she passed out.

While Applejack stood with a slightly agape mouth, a hoof up in question.

She looked at Rainbow, then to the purple scaled dragon. She must of done this a couple of times.

She finally went to ask the drake a question, but before she could even ask, as he let out small laugh, shaking his head left to right as he did so.

“Don't ask, at least don't ask till later. Just accept it, and I'll owe you one.”

He didn't even wait for an answer, as he step back into the darkness, leaving the mare once more stunned.

Giving up, she let out a sigh, as she closed the door, return to the bed that was calling her name.

Spike began protruding through the darkness, as the the town lights of ponyville were in sight.

I'm almost home Cole.

Yeah, but you do know Twilight's going to be ticked.

She will be, but Rainbow’s got my... SHIT!

Spike stopped his walk, as he let out a sigh, as well as a small chuckled.

You know that word bucked.

Kinda of.

Well, my situation is the definition of that word.

Indeed.

Spike was now approaching the oak tree home, to which, also housed a very mad Twilight Sparkle.

The lights were still on, so mostly liking she was awakening, and he was going to have to deal with her now.

Spike stood outside the door, deciding whenever or not it would be even safe to go inside.

I could probably go crash at Fluttershy’s

Just deal with it now you pansy.

Sighing, as the Cole had a point. Spike began to grab the handle to the door, and slowly pushing it open.

Spike didn't even take two steps, before the mad voice of Twilight sparkle could be heard.

“Spike! You are in a lot of trouble young dragon, do you even know what time it is?” Twilight yelled, approaching the guilty dragon.

“Do you know what can happen to you at this time of night?”

Nothing, not only am I a dragon, teen one in fact, but we live in a peaceful town.

“Not only that, but I don't know what you've been doing, I can only assume bad things mister!”

Yeah, training and carrying a mare home, so bad!

“And I have no clue where you have been, to which, should've been here, in your basket sleeping, you don't know what we have planned tomorrow.”

“I may have been sleeping in my basket, or you would force me to stay up, help you with your work, then forget about me. And then, the next day, I would clean up your mess, while you have fun, and I'll be alone, like usual, and then the cycle would restart, like it always does.”

Spike thought for a moment, because it sounded like he just said what he thought. But after looking at the lavender mare face, his fears became true.

Well buck me.

“Spike, what are you talking about? I always hang out with you, and you do have fun with us... sometimes that is.”

“Of course I do, also, by sometimes, do you mean never?” Spike asked, as he felt this, this rage build inside of him.

Aright Spike, time to cool it down buddy.

“Well, that's because you've got work do. Work that a lazy dragon never get's done!”

Oh buck.

“Really, is that what you got thinking in your small little head?” Spike said, as he started advancing on the pony, who was holding her ground.

“My head is not-”

“Can it. You are so caught up in your life, that you've already forgotten mine.”

“I didn't-”

“Shut up, I'm not done.” Spike cut her off ferociously, as his anger was just starting to rise.

“Who is the one that cleans up around here?”

“Well, we both do.”

Spike began to make error noises, as he was getting closer to the mare.

“I do, and only I, want to know why, because a certain mare like's to make messes.

“Well... I get tired after I study”

“And leave it to me next day, all day, while you go out with your little friends and have bucking fun!”

“But-”

“But I'm not even done. I'm the one the fixes everything, I'm the one that cleans everything, I'm the one that's alone all the time, and I'm the one that has finally stop giving a buck. While you: you are the one that make's the messes, you are the one that leaves me, you are the one that has forgotten about another life, and you're the one that dumps all your problems on the one that won't reject you, I'm basically your slave. And once you're all done with me, once I'm all used up, you go and have fun with your friends, while you leave me in the dust.”

“Well there my friends, not yours!”

“Exactly.”

Spike approached the mare, bending down to make eye contact with her.

“I had no friends in this town, no one I could talk to, it got so bad I created my own friend. But hear me now Twilight Sparkle, because of now, we are no longer friends, we are no longer brother or sister, from now on, we don't even know each other, because I'm done with you.”

Spike stood up, as he began to walk to the door, he was about to leave, but you always say goodbye before you leave.

“Goodbye Twilight Sparkle. I also hope your presentation went good.” He took a step, before a thought came to mind. “Oh, and just so you know, me and Rainbow Dash are friends.”

Spike left the library, leaving behind a sad mare, reflecting on the brother she once called

Spike.
