Candy Girl

Responsibility

Cheerilee sat in the living room of the Apple Family home in a state of shock. She had just heard the story what happened between Apple Bloom and Spike. She couldn't imagine what her student was going through after such an awful situation.

"Apple Bloom's been in her room crying ever since she got home. I talked to her a bit. I don't got the heart to even punish her. I figure Spike already did enough of that." Applejack sighed. She always considered Spike an alright dragon until now. She still couldn't believe someone she considered a friend could do such a thing.

"May I talk to her?" Cheerilee asked. Applejack looked to Big Macintosh who just shrugged. It was probably rude to ask when the filly was in such a sensitive state. She'd understand if they weren't willing to let her visit now.

"I reckon it's all right. Go on up and be extra quiet. Granny's catching up on her sleep. Apple Bloom's room is the one on the left." Applejack said tentatively. She saw no reason not to let her talk to Apple Bloom for a few minutes. She might have been more qualified than anypony else to do so. Besides, the farm pony couldn't find the right words to help her little sister, but maybe Cheerilee could succeed where she failed.

"Thank you. I won't be long." The teacher bowed her head to the elder siblings and made her way upstairs. As she made her way upstairs, she could make out two distinct sounds coming from the dimly lit upstairs area. One was a light snoring noise come from the room on the right and the other sniffling coming from the room on the left. She made her way to the door on the left and lightly tapped on the door.

"Apple Bloom? It's me, Miss Cheerilee. Mind if I come in?" The mare said in the most gentle tone she could muster. It was imperative that she let Apple Bloom know that she wasn't angry about her absence from today's class.

"Yeah, I guess." The depression in her voice was clear as day. She opened the door and found the filly sitting on the edge of her bed facing away from her. The setting sun seemed to make her look sadder as it shone through the window.

"I heard about what happened from Applejack. I wanted to talk to you about it."

"I'm sorry about skipping class."

"We can talk about that later. I'm here to talk about what happened between you and Spike." Apple Bloom turned to her teacher. Her face still visibly red from crying. The filly turned away from her concerned eyes.

"I'd rather not talk about him." The mare could practically feel the bitterness of her words.

"How about I tell you about my first time then?" Cheerilee said as she sat next to the filly.

"Did your guy have a bunch of guards arrest your family before he threw you out of his home?"

"It wasn't that bad, but he did break my heart."

"Were you in heat too?"

"No, but I would have done it with him regardless of whether I was or wasn't. I had convinced myself that we were meant to be together. I would have given him anything. Unfortunately, he only wanted one thing. After I had sex wiith him, he treated me like I didn't exist."

"Are they all like that?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Some of them are, but I like to believe a lot of them aren't."

"How do you trust someone again when they can do something so awful to you?"

"It takes time, Apple Bloom. You'll be able to find the one pony who'll truly appreciate you for who you are."

"Does that mean you're still looking for your special somepony, Miss Cheerilee?" The mare was caught off guard by the personal nature of her question. She was far removed her days on the dating scene, instead deciding to focus on her career.

"I suppose..." She said unsure of herself. It wasn't that she didn't want to find someone, but the search was a bit more draining than she expected.

"How about Big Macintosh?" The filly suggested.

"Oh, I don't know if Big Macintosh would be interested." The mare said trying to find a way out of this. It wasn't that she didn't like him, but she had grown accustomed to the simplicity of single life.

"You'd like him, Miss Cheerilee. Big Macintosh isn't anything like Spike or that guy you lost your virginity too. He'd be perfect for you." The filly was becoming more and more excited about the idea which made it harder to decline her offer.

"I just don't think it's a good time now, Apple Bloom. Your family's been through a lot recently. You need your big brother more than I do." Cheerilee explained.

"So maybe later then?" Apple Bloom asked showing no signs of giving up. On the bright side, she had delayed her a bit.

"We'll see. Are you okay?" Cheerilee asked.

"I feel a little better. Thanks for talking to me." The filly smiled and gave her teacher a hug. The teacher bid her student farewell as she hugged her back. On her way out, she thanked Applejack and Big Macintosh for allowing her to have a moment with Apple Bloom. As she left, she couldn't help but realize how handsome and strapping Big Macintosh was. She had forgotten what it was like to look at a stallion as anything more than another pony. She dispelled those thoughts as she made her way to Spike's party.

Meanwhile at Twilight's Library

"What are we just standing around here for? I say we go over to Spike's and break up that party." Rainbow Dash said hopping into the air and preparing to fly off. Shining Armor's story had her raring to confront Spike.

"How could Spike have changed so much under my watch?" Twilight asked herself. Fluttershy was quick to assure her.

"It's okay, Twilight. If Spike changed once, he can surely change back. I'm sure if we just talk to him. We can fix everything."

"I wonder how the Apple Family is handling all this. It must be dreadful to have to go through such an ordeal. If Spike had went after Sweetie Belle..." Rarity shook her head as she dispel the thought from her mind.

"I can't believe Spike threw a party without us." Pinkie Pie sighed. Her normally bouncy mane was completely flat.

"Is that really important, Pinkie?" Dash asked.

"Of course it is. You throw parties for the ponies you care about. If Spike had a party and didn't invite us, it means he doesn't consider us his friends anymore." Pinkie Pie's words resonated with everyone there. A moment of silence passed over the room as they let her words sink in. If Spike had effectively sever ties with them, was there any way they could do for the dragon?

"Spike doesn't seem to care about much besides himself these days. How are you going to reach him?" Shining Armor asked.

"Maybe Peppermint Twist can reach him." Twilight wondered aloud.

"Peppermint Twist?" Shining Armor said not familiar with the filly.

"She was a part of the friendship project I was observing with Spike. She might be the only pony who can get through to him."

"Have you ever considered that Twist might be the reason Spike changed in the first place?" Rarity asked.

"What are you saying, Rarity? How could Twist be responsible for Spike acting like a jerk?" Dash asked.

"Peppermint Twist was Spike's first time." Twilight told them.

"You knew?" Shining Armor asked.

"Not until I heard your story. You were pretty sure that Apple Bloom wasn't first time with a filly. The only filly I can think of who could have possibly come before Apple Bloom was Peppermint Twist."

"What if it was another filly he didn't tell you about?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"That's not possible. My project involved Spike spending as much time as possible with Peppermint Twist. She was the only one it could have been. Looking back I realize how naive I was about Spike. He was growing up so fast, but I never once thought about talking to him about sex. If I had taken the time to educate him, he might not have ended up like this and Apple Bloom might not have had to go through this." Twilight sighed.

"You can't blame yourself for what happened to Apple Bloom, Twilight. He's living on his own now. Whatever he did after he left your care is his problem, not yours." Shining Armor protested.

"I agree. Living alone means accepting the consequences of one's actions. Spike is solely responsible for the incident with Apple Bloom. I'm sure the Apple family would agree as well."

"Then what about Peppermint Twist? I not only brought them together I was too naive to see that Twist had deeper feelings for Spike when she came to the library. I was so sure they were just friends that I didn't bother looking deeper. I started this disaster and I'm finishing it." Twilight said heading towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Shining Armor asked.

"To talk to Spike and Twist about this." She said as she opened the door. Her brother and friends wasted no time following the mare.

In Spike's Home

It was getting late and Spike's little shindig showed no signs of stopping. It was only a matter of time before the foals' parents wondered where they were. Snips had been trying to talk to Sweetie Belle, but the filly ran away every time she saw him get close. Luckily, he had managed to chase her all the way to the bathroom. He knocked on the door but the filly didn't respond.

"Sweetie Belle? You okay?" He asked.

"Leave me alone!" She shouted from behind the door. The colt was taken aback by the sudden outburst.

"If that's what you want..." Snips sighed. Sweetie Belle could hear the sadness in his voice through the door and felt bad about pushing him away.

"Wait! I'm sorry. It's just.... watching Snails and Twist kiss like that really got to me."

"But you've been watching Snails drool over Twist since yesterday. Why get upset about it now?" He asked.

"I saw Snails' smile and it made me angry. What kind of horrible pony gets mad when they see someone they like happy? It made me realize that you were right. I was happy when Twist made him sad, and I got angry when she made him happy. It's sounds crazy when that I could be so callous about Snails when I claimed to like him. I'm the worst." She explained through the door.

"You aren't the worst. You're the kindest, most caring pony I've ever met. Every time you smile it feels the whole world gets a little brighter. You made a mistake but that shouldn't define you. When I think of you, I can't imagine any pony better."

"Do you really mean that?" She asked.

"Of course, I do." The colt said before he was interrupted as he felt a tapping on his shoulder. He turned to find Featherweight dancing in an erratic motion.

"Hey, buddy! This is romantic and all but some of us have to actually use the restroom." He said anxiously awaiting an end to their occupation of the bathroom. Sweetie Belle hearing the dilemma exited the facilities immediately. The pegasus nearly pushed her aside as he rushed inside and closed the door behind him. Sweetie Belle and Snips looked around the party to see several ponies watching the two of them.

"Do you think any of them heard us?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"I think so. I'm sorry for embarassing you like that." Snips said blushing.

"It's not your fault. Let's go get some punch."

"What about Snails?" Snips asked. Sweetie Bellle turned and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The colt turned red enough to give Big Mac a run for his bits.

"He's made his decision and I've made mine. Let's go."

As the couple went to get something to drink, Peppermint Twist was busy trying to figure out why Spike acted so nonchalant about their kiss. She barely noticed the dopey smile on Snails' face. The filly wondered if it was time to break the news about the little surprise she had kept hidden. She had one thing to take care of before approaching Spike.

"So do you want to get somthing to eat, my love?" Snails asked. Twist turned to him with deadpan expression. Her eyes were cold and indifferent enough to make the colt feel uncomfortable.

"I'm not your love and I never was. I only kissed you to make Spike jealous and you couldn't even do that. You disgust me physically, emotionally, and mentally. I unequivocally and unabashedly hate you from the very center of my being. If I never see you again, it'll still be too soon. We're through." She said turning her back on the colt. Several ponies around overheard and were whispering. The colt's heart had once again completely uttered shattered by Twist. Oddly enough, it was not despair that overtook his heart. It was anger.

"Well, you're an awful pony. I only liked you because you were nice, but I see you for what you really are. You're worse than a bully. What happened to you? You used to be so nice before. Now you're worse than Diamond Tiara ever was!" The colt shouted. The filly took offense at being compared to Diamond Tiara and was about to fire back with an insult of her own when Spike stepped in.

"What's going on here?" Spike asked stepping between the two of them. A wicked smile crossed Peppermint Twist's lips as she walked up to Spike and kissed him right in front of Snails. The colt looked on in horror as his ex had a full on makeout session with another guy right in front of him. Several ponies even whistled and hooted as the filly and dragon kissed.

It only lasted a few seconds before Spike pushed Twist away. Snails didn't bother to stick around as he walked away. Sweetie Belle and Snips following him as he exited the party. Twist's victory was short lived as she was confronted by an angry Dinky.

"Who do you think you are?" She said shoving the earth pony.

Twist didn't bother talking as she tackled the unicorn to the ground. As the two fillies grappled on the ground, a few ponies moved in to try to break up the fight, only to be stopped by Spike.

"Let them fight it out a little." He said watching Twist pull Dinky into a headlock. The crowd started to chant "fight" as the two fillies went at it. Until a familiar voice rang out, bringing almost everyone to a complete stop.

"Stop this nonsense immediately!" Cheerilee shouted as she pushed her way through the crowd and separated the two fillies. Spike was incensed at seeing the mare interrupting his party.

"Who let you in? I told those bums no one was allowed in without my permission." Spike asked.

"I want all of you home this instant! I am extremely disappointed in every single one of you. We will talk about this tomorrow." The teacher said as she watched her students file out of the dragon's home.

"What? You can't barge into my house and break up my party. Where's everybody going? You don't have to listen to her. The party isn't over until I say it is." Spike's pleas were ignored as they continued to leave.

"Sorry, Spike. She's our teacher." A colt muttered as they walked out. The dragon walked up to the teacher practically fuming at her for interrupting his fun.

"You got a lot of nerve coming in here. Who let you in here anyway?" He shouted at the mare.

"We did." Shining Armor said entering with Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Rarity entered as well with a reluctant Sweetie Belle.

"If it isn't my favorite group of ponies in the world, what do you want?" The dragon asked. Pinkie Pie jumped forward and hugged him excitedly.

"I knew you didn't hate us! It was all just a misunderstanding." She said as her poofed back up.

"I was being sarcastic. I hate each of you with a passion." Spike pushed the mare away and dusted himself off.

"Oh." The pink pony said as her hair went flat.

"But we're your friends, Spike. We all love you dearly." Fluttershy told him.

"She's right. We never did anything to make you hate us." Rainbow Dash added.

"That's true. You didn't do anything to make me hate you. I simply chose to hate you because it was my will. Severing my ties with you was my second act of true freedom. It was the moment I realized that I would live me life for me and me alone."

"The second? What was the first?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"It was Peppermint Twist, wasn't it?" Twilight asked. Spike clapped slowly as Twilight finally figured it out.

"And the last pony crosses the finish line. Took you long enough, genius."

"You know?" Twist spoke up.

"I do. I only wish I had known sooner."

"What is she talking about, Twist?" Cheerilee asked her student.

"I'm sorry, Miss Cheerilee. I know I should have told you, but Spike and I... became one." She blushed.

"Oh, Twist." The teacher sighed disappointedly.

"If you're done, I'd like you all to leave. At the very least, I'd like to get a good night sleep out of this." The dragon yawned.

"I have something to ask you. It's about Silver Spoon." Miss Cheerilee's words caught Spike by surprise.

"What about Silver Spoon?" Spike asked nonchalantly.

"I was just wondering if anything happened between the two of you. Diamond Tiara noticed her acting oddly during a conversation with you." Spike could relax a bit knowing that Silver Spoon hadn't talked. Diamond Tiara was becoming a problem though.

"If you must know, she approached me about a relatonship. We even had sex, but I still didn't want to commit. Naturally, she took it pretty hard." Cheerlee was instantly skeptical of the dragon's story. Diamond Tiara said Silver Spoon looked scared of Spike. Nothing about his story suggested anything that would evoke a fearful reaction. It was an obvious lie, but she wanted to see how deep a hole Spike could dig himself into.

"Why would you talk to her again? If she was truly trying to pull you into a relationship, it seems like the logical course of action would be to avoid her." The dragon chuckled nervously as he struggled to think of something to convince her.

"I was... err"

"You're lying!" Peppermint Twist said holding her hooves over her head.

"What? I'm not lying!" Spike said starting to sweat.

"You'd never sleep with somepony as awful as Silver Spoon! Or anyone else! We're supposed to be together. It's destiny!" She cried as she ran to Spike and hugged him. The room was silent for a moment as everyone just watched. Spike gently pulled her away and looked her in the eyes.

"Oh, that's what you mean. No, I slept with her. I don't know what destiny you've got in mind, but you were just a phase. I told you from the start this wasn't serious and I meant it." The filly was stunned by the dragon's dismissal. He couldn't be serious. There was no way she could be 'just a phase'.

"You're joking. I know you felt it too. When we were together, it was like magic. I remember every single time we were together. You must have felt it too." She asserted.

"Sorry. It was just sex to me." He said brushing off her notions of some deeper connection. The filly was down but not out. She had one last card to play. She had hoped to tell him under better circumstances, but it was now or never.

"It wasn't just sex because I'm pregnant!" She shouted to a instantly stunned room. Her words hit Spike's hardest of all as he took a step back.

"Th-that's impossible! We're totally different species. There's no way I could've gotten you pregnant!"

"It's rare, but not impossible. Most dragons choose to avoid ponies, but you're not the first dragon to impregnate a pony." Miss Cheerilee informed him.

"What? You can't be serious. This has happened before." Rainbow Dash said scratching her head.

"When Twist told me she had a crush on Spike, I decided to do some research on the subject of pony-dragon relationships. The only thing I could find was an account from the last dragon migration where a dragon got injured and had to land near an earth pony settlement. A local farm mare took pity on him and nursed him back to health. The two fell in love and she became pregnant. The village caught wind of it and they were banished. This was back when pegasi, unicorns, and earth ponies were separate so a half dragon foal was more than enough to stoke old prejudices."

"The great migration is coming up. It happens every one thousand years. That was a long time ago. Where are they now?" Twilight asked.

"The record ends after they were forced to leave. The important thing is what we do now. Peppermint Twist will have to visit a doctor and Spike will have to think about his role." She said as every one looked to the dragon who had fallen to his knees. He couldn't be a father to whatever it was inside Twist. He had just gained his freedom. Becoming a parent to some sort of freak would ruin everything.

"No... it can't end like this." Spike dropped to his knees. His claws curled into fists against the hardwood floor. There was so much time and now this had to happen. Peppermint Twist walked up and hugged his head. The warm feeling of her chest was a cold comfort to the dragon.

"It's okay, Spike. I forgive you for sleeping with Silver Spoon. After all, we're a family now." She said holding him closely.It was in his darkest moment that the dragon got an idea. He smiled as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Family? I've never had anyone I could call family before." Spike said as Twilight tried not to look to hurt by that comment.

"Really?" Twist said ecstatic that Spike was coming around.

"Yeah, I kind of like it, but..." Spike stood up and turned away from her.

"But what?" Twist said worried by his sudden silence. Spike used the moment to put a finger in his mouth and bit down on it hard enough to draw tears from his eyes.

"It's just I've always dreamed of this. Someone I could call my family, but I feel like we're not ready for this yet." He said turning to Twist with fresh tears in his eyes.

"What are you saying?" Spike put his claws on her should and stared into her pink eyes with the saddest look he could muster.

"I'm saying maybe we should... wait a few years before having a foal."

"I don't think I can make the baby wait." Twist said. Her mind trying to find another meaning on his words than the one she suspected.

"Maybe you should get an abortion." The dragon said. Twist looked down at the ground as one of her hooves almost instinctively going to her stomach as if to protect her unborn child from the very idea.

"Why?" She asked.

"Isn't it obvious? He just wants you to get an abortion so he won't have anything to worry about." Rainbow Dash announced. She and the dragon exchanged glares before Spike spoke up.

"How dare you? This is my sweet treat- No, my little sugar mama!" Spike said stroking her cheek for a second before turning to the accusing pegasus. "I'm saying this for the good of Peppermint Twist's future."

"I'm your sugar mama." Twist sighed happily.

"That's right, baby. No matter what you decide to do, you'll always be my little sugar mama." Rainbow Dash felt nauseated just watching sickeningly sweet scene.

"I...I don't know if I can do it. This is our first child and you're asking me to kill it."

"Only for the sake of our future, sugar mama. I promise you that one day we'll look back fondly on this moment." Spike said grabbing one of her hooves and holding it to his heart. Twist wanted everything Spike promised, but she also wanted this child.

"I need to think about this." Twist said feeling conflicted.

"Of course, you shouldn't make such a big decision quickly. I just want you to know that I'm here for you no matter what." Spike said kissing her hoof.

"In the meantime, I'll take you home. It's getting late." Miss Cheerilee said signaling to Peppermint Twist. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips before following her teacher.

"We should be getting home as well, Sweetie Belle." Rarity said ushering her sister outside. Sweetie Belle gave Spike a menacing
glare as she left. It was at that moment he realized that the whole school would know Twist was pregnant and who the father was. No filly would touch him if that happened.

"Hold on a second! I think everypony here should keep this strictly between us. It'd be pretty embarrassing for Peppermint Twist if this got out." Spike said. Everypony except Twist believed that Spike was covering for himself more than Twist, but he made a good point. The last thing Twist needed was the stress of being judged by the entire town.

"Her parents should know. I'll help her break the news." Miss Cheerilee spoke up.

"Princess Celestia should also know. If a new race of pony is being born, she should be notified. I'll stay and make letter out to the princess." No one objected to the idea, but Spike bristled at the idea of Twilight not leaving with everyone else. As everyone else left, Spike turned his back and made a point not to say anything to the unicorn.

"Are you sure about this, Twily? I could just deliver the letter to Princess Celestia on my way back to the castle." Shining Armor
offered.

"I need to talk to Spike alone. This is something I have to do."

"If you say so, I'll be outside." Shining Armor gave her a quick hug before leaving the two of them alone. A long awkward silence passed between them before Spike spoke up.

"Let's get this over with." Spike said walking over to a desk and grabbing a scroll and quill.

"I want to know why."

"Why what?" Spike asked derisively.

"Why are you pushing Twist to get an abortion she doesn't want? The only reason she's considering this is because of you."

"Is it not my right as the father to have some say in the matter, unlike a nosy unicorn overstepping her bounds." Spike remarked as he started writing the contents himself.

"You can hate me all you want but Twist has given you no reason to treat her like this. Since she came to the library, the only thing she wanted was to be close to you. She's probably the one pony Anypony could see she'd do anything to make you happy. Don't make her do something she'll regret." Spike finished the letter and rolled up the scroll as Twilight was talking. He blew a flame that sent the message up in a puff of smoke.

"If you're done wasting my time, I'd like you to leave." Spike said not even acknowledging her words. Twilight had taken all of Spike's hurtful comments in stride until now. She would not let her words be cast aside without a fight.

"What happened to you? Can't you at least try to care that Peppermint Twist is in this situation because of you? She's considering an abortion she doesn't want because of you, but you can't look past your own selfishness to think about her feelings. I came here because you used to care about others besides yourself. Now you're just cold and heartless. It's like you're afraid to care about anyone but yourself. Well, I'm going to support Twist whatever decision she makes. I wish you would too. Godbye, Spike." The dragon just wached with his arms crossed as his former roommate and boss walked out. As much as he tried to play it cool, he couldn't help but feel something deep inside of himself. Twist's smiling face appeared in his mind once again but he quickly shooed it away.

"Hmph! Whatever! I don't need her or anypony else." Spike thought to himself. He had bigger problems to worry about than Twist's baby anyway. Cheerilee's attention was now on Twist's impending pregnancy, but it wouldn't be long before she would start talking to Silver Spoon about what really happened. He needed to act fast.

A Few Hours Later

Silver Spoon looked to her bed stand with a strained gaze. The numbers appeared fuzzy as her glasses lay next to the clock. It was almost midnight and she hadn't been able to sleep. Spike's offer kept her awake. She hated to leave her best and only friend in the claws of Spike, but she couldn't go through that again. Diamond Tiara was tougher than she was. Maybe she could shrug it off.

Silver Spoon chuckled at how stupid that sounded. She wouldn't be able to just forget about it. She certainly wouldn't be able to forgive Silver Spoon for walking her into a situation. She'd gain her freedom but only at the cost of her best friend.

The filly's eyelids started to fall as she finally started to reach a state resembling actual sleep. Suddenly, she heard a jiggling noise in the darkness. It came from the other side of her bedroom door.

"Hello, who is it?" She muttered in a sleepy voice. The jiggling stopped at the sound of her voice. The room was dead silent as she awaited a reply. A terrible thought crept into her head as she watched the door.

"What if it was Spike?" She thought to herself. Maybe he couldn't wait and decided to pay her a visit. She started to tremble at the thought. If she screamed it would wake half the house, he would have no choice but to run.

"I'm sorry, Miss Spoon. I didn't mean to wake you. We usually change the towels in your private bathroom so their fresh in the morning. I can leave them outside if you like." The old, female voice explained. Silver Spoon's heart rate dropped by at least half as she realized her mistake. She almost woke everyone up for nothing.

"Just leave them outside please." She told her. The filly felt so stupid for thinking Spike could be outside her door.

"Of course, Miss Spoon. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." The pony quickly trotted away leaving the heiress to her thoughts. He was throwing a party right now or probably sleeping with some filly who didn't know what kind of monster he was. It was almost enough to make her laugh if not for the inherent tragedy.

She turned away from the door and tried to get some sleep. She was so close before but all that excitement had her wide awake again. She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep until she heard the sound of her door knob turning again. It was probably another servant trying to bring her something again. The door quickly opened and closed. It was until she felt a claw on her shoulder did she realize something was wrong.

"Wakey, wakey!" Spike said leaning over her with towel in his claw. She opened her mouth to scream only to find the towel the dragon pushed deep into her mouth. She flailed her hooves wildly trying to push Spike away, but the dragon mounted her again and pushed her hooves to the bed.

"Stop it and I won't do anything! We need to talk!" He whispered angrily as she tried to wriggle from under his weight. The filly was too hysterical to listen to him. She started to sob at the idea that she would be raped again. Spike wrestled with her for a full minute before slapping her across the face. The sound was far louder than he intended but it calmed her down a bit.

"Listen, I just need to talk to you! I'm not going to hurt you!" He told her that but he had to admit a fair bit of arousal from her soft body struggling against his scales. He was fighting back what would have been an impressive boner if he decided to go all out. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Spike and Silver Spoon looked to the door with wide eyes.

"Tell them you're fine or I'll rip out your fucking throat." He put a claw around her throat and press the sharp tips into her skin for emphasis. The filly nodded quickly as she feared for her life. Spike removed the towel from her mouth and glared straight into her in the eyes.

"Is something wrong, Miss Spoon? I thought I heard a commotion." It was the voice from before. Spike didn't take his eyes away from Silver Spoon's as he awaited her response.

"I-I'm fine. Please leave me alone." She said trying to muster a confident voice, but it came out trembling and weak.

"Are you sure, Miss Spoon? I could come-"

"Go away or I'll have you fired!" She shouted.

"Yes, ma'am! I'm so sorry!" The mare quickly left.

Spike relaxed a bit but kept his claws on her throat. He knew full well that he didn't have it in him to kill Silver Spoon. As long as she believed he would, it was a valuable tool for keeping her in line.

Sneaking into the mansion was surprisingly easy. The great thing about small towns like Ponyville is nobody locks their doors,
even the rich are at ease leaving the front doors unlocked and unguarded. Finding Silver Spoon's room was the hard part without being spotted was far more difficult. If he didn't notice that cart of pink monogrammed towels being delivered to the filly's bedroom, he would have been in serious trouble.

He looked down at his prey beneath him. Her body quivered against his crotch as he knelt over her. He had to keep his urges in check, but it was getting harder to ignore the situation as time went on. If he raped her now, she might not trust him later. Spike had to be quick and to the point before he "compromised" her.

"Listen, you NEED to bring Diamond Tiara to my house tomorrow morning. This isn't a choice. If she's not at my house, you know what'll happen. Understood?" Spike said as he sweated profusely. It was taking everything he had to not take her. Those big purple eyes filled with tears, the soft, warmth of her fur trembling beneath him, and the heaving of her chest as she quietly sobbed was making it really hard to resist.

"I'll bring her to you! I'll do it!" She said. Spike quickly and reluctantly jumped off the scared, little filly. He walked over to her
window and started to climb out. Before he left, he turned towards her and smiled.

"You're almost free, Silvie. Don't blow it!" He said before leaping out and making his exit. The filly continued to cry in the darkness of her room long after Spike's escape.

"Just a little longer... and it'll be over." She said sadly.
