The Incredible Drake: His Return

Cutie Mark Crusaders

The next day as Celestia's sun rose into the morning sky, Spike snored like an Ursa Major as he slept in Twilight's bed. That was until the sun hit his eyes making him wake up. As he got up, he stretched and released a large yawn.

"Morning Twilight. Twilight?" He asked around the Library. He the got out of the bed and walked around the Library. After a few minutes of searching, he found that Twilight wasn't there. He though did see on his old dresser a green T-Shirt and purple shorts with a note on them.

"Maybe this'll say where she went." Spike said to himself as he picked up the note and read it.

Morning Spike,

If you're reading this, I'm doing some things and won't be home until later. Sorry I wasn't here

but you can know how business is being a princess. So I'm having the Cutie Mark Crusaders

come over later hang out with you until I get back.

Signed,

Twilight Sparkle

P.S They don't know about Drake yet. So if you can, show him to them.

Spike then gave a giggle before grabbing the clothes. He then walked into the bathroom and put them on. As he put them on, he saw an S on them meaning Rarity made them.

"That's why I love her." Spike thought happily. When he was dressed, he looked into the bathroom's mirror and saw that Rarity was right about the facial scales needing shaving. He then moved the mirror as it was a compartment and grabbed the shaving cream. After placing the cream on his face, he then used his spade tail which was hard enough and shaved off the facial scales. He then after washing his face looked into the mirror and saw he looked a whole lot better.

"Now this is a whole lot better then having a beard." He said as he felt his smooth scales. Then he walked out of the bathroom and went into the kitchen and began to cook. After a few minutes and some ingredients, he made a plate of grass pancakes and hash browns. Spike then sat down in the chair in the living room and began to eat.

"Not bad." Spike said as he chewed his food. After eating, he placed the dishes in the sink. Then the door of the Library was knocked on three times.

"That must be the girls." Spike said as he walked to the door. And when he opened it, he saw he was right on the dot. It was Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo who were smiling.

"Hey girls." Spike said as his opened his arms. The three fillies then gave him a big hug.

"Howdy Spike. It's good to see ya'." Applebloom said as she broke her hug.

"So what do you three want to do?" Spike asked them.

"How about....we play a game?" Sweetie Belle suggested.

"Sure. A game sounds good." Spike said with a happy voice making Sweetie smile. He then moved out of the fillies' way and they walked into the Library.  The three then sat down but as Scootaloo sat down, her backpack spilled out it's contents and what seemed like a comic book fell out.

"Oops." Scootaloo said. As she reached for the comic book, Spike grabbed it and couldn't believe who it was about. It was his old friend Lensie or the Amazing Spider-Mare. It was a first issue with it's number.

"Scootaloo, when did this come out?" Spike asked as he observed the cover.

"A..a few months ago. Luckily I grabbed the last first issue before somepony else did." Scootaloo replied. Spike then opened it and saw that they placed her up against some creature that looked like her but it was solid black, had a white Spider symbol on it's chest and where its' mask would be was replaced with white eye-like objects and a mouth full of serrated fangs  and a long tongue like his.

"What the heck is this thing?" Spike asked as he observed the creature.

"They called it She-Venom. She's one of Spider-Mare's nastiest enemies yet." Scootaloo replied.

"Lensie, if this thing's real, then I hope you're alright." Spike thought as he looked at the creature.

"Um Spike...can I have my comic back?" Scootaloo asked him.

"Oh. Sorry Scoots." He replied as he gave her back the comic book.

"Why'd you look at Spider-Mare like that?" Scootaloo asked him as she placed the comic in her backpack.

"I actually know her." Spike replied. The three fillies then wide eyed and gasped.

"No way. You know the real Spider-Mare?" Scootaloo asked him.

"Yes actually. I met her five years ago back in Manehatten." Spike replied. The mares then sat around him.

"Can ya' tell us how ya' met her?" Applebloom asked.

"Of course. Okay. Here's what happened." Spike replied. He then began to tell about him being in Manehatten but not as Drake and how four thugs chased him through the alley and how Spider-Mare saved him.

"Wow. My friend met the Amazing Spider-Mare." Scootaloo said with a smile.

"Do you know her secret identity?" Sweetie asked.

"Yeah." He replied.

"Can you tell us it?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well-" He started as he scratched the back of his head.

"Please?" The Cutie Mark Crusaders begged with the sad eyes.

"Okay." Spike said.

"Yay!" The CMC yelled happily.

"But you three gotta promise me you won't tell anypony." Spike said.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." The fillies said as they went through the motions.

"Alright. Spider-Mare is my friend Lensie the Unicorn." Spike said.

"A friend. Your friends with a superhero?" Scootaloo asked.

"Yes. But now you can't tell anypony I told you this." Spike said.

"Don't worry. We won't." Sweetie said.

"Now that that's out of the way, I need to show you something." Spike said.

"What is it?" Applebloom asked.

"If you remember this, have you heard of Drake and the Garbomination?" Spike asked them.

"Of course. We saw him on the news protecting the Mane Six." Scootaloo said.

"Well then. You won't be needing to ask me this when I do this." Spike said as he took off his shirt. The fillies then gave him a wierd look but then gasped when they watched Spike turn into their sister's hero.

"Spike. Y..you're the-" Applebloom started.

"I know. I'm the Drake." Spike interrupted. He then turned back into his form and his shorts were normal since they were elastic.

"Awesome! We're friends with a superhero!" Scootaloo yelled.

"Does anypony know about this?" Sweetie asked.

"Yes. Twilight and the others along with a few others. And she said I should have shown you three that." Spike replied.

"Well we're glad ya' did." Applebloom said with a smile.

"Now then, who's up for a game?" Spike asked. Then for the next few hours, Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders played some games and hung out. But for the CMC, it was a great day for them to hang out with a superhero.
