A New Drake in Town

     Everypony sat in the Golden Oaks library in science, nopony new what to do next. A bombshell of life changing information had just hit, and the one's it most affected froze as they found out, they were brothers. They were all snapped out of there trances by what sounded like a gunshot.

     BOOOM!!!

     The entire library was decorated with in seconds,"Time to party Pinkie stile!", said the over excited pink made who some how popped up out of nowhere, with her party cannon ( as usual) the only one startled by the surprise appearance was Drake. Who practically jumped ten feet in the air.

     Seeing his newly found brother scared half to death out of the corner of his eye snapped Spike out of a trance." I have to be alone right now.", he mumbled to everyponys surprise and ran so fast upstairs that even Dash was impressed by his speed.

     "Well that was... awkward... I'll go make sure he's okay", Twilight said running after the dragon.

     "This isn't how all parties start here is it?", Drake asked awkwardly.

...

     "Spike please open the door", Twilight said just above a whisper," Spike I'm coming in whether you like it or not.",she stated bluntly, it seams that Twilghts patience only lasts for about ten minutes. After all that's about how long she had been standing at the door to the teenager's room, it took less than a second to unlock the door with her magic and step inside.

     As you could imagine Spikes room was like, well like any teenager's room. It was dark, cool, dirty, and smelt like somepony took a peace month old pizza and stuffed it into a gym sock, then put spray on deodorant all over it. However that wasn't the bad part, the bad part was that Spike wasn't there. Then again that wasn't to bad either, because the window was open with fresh claw marks going up the side of the house. At least he wasn't half way across town and only on the top branches of the tree.

     With a few flaps of her now somewhat skilled wigs she was hovering over a large branch that had a scaly figure sitting on it his back facing her. She glided down with ease and sat next to him as she looked at the setting sun, "It beautiful, the sunset I mean", she mumbled. She couldn't help felling nervous, being next to somepony, or rather some dragon, that she cared about in the romantic scene.

     "Ya it is", he said without even looking at her,"sometimes I get lonely before the sun goes down and I come ou

t here to watch the sun set, then I gaze at the stars, for hours at a time"

     Hearing Spike talk of his oasis after dark just gave Twilight butterflies, yet she didn't know why. "So... do you want to talk about why you ran away from down stairs?"

     "I was scared"

     "Scared of what?"

     "That I would cry in front of every one"

     "Do you mean cry in front of Rarity, you know she would never think any less of you for crying"

     "It wasn't Rarity that I was wearied about", he said in a small voice.

     "Than who?", she asked putting her head on his shoulder, partly to relax him and partly because she felt the urge to be closer to him.

     "Drake, I was scared out of my mine that I would give the wrong first impression as his little brother.", he replied weakly, and some what choking up at the end of his sentence.

     "Oh, Spike your an amazing dragon, your smart, kind, helpful, and goodhearted there's no reason for you to think that he would think any littler of you.", by the time she finished her thought she realized why she was felling strange around him. 'No that can't be... but it does make sense... I've, I've hidden feelings four him', the more she thought on the idea the more it became clear.

     "You really think so?"

     "I know so"

     "Well we should probably be getting back to the others than", he shifted his weight to clime back down, when he felt a hoof stop him from doing so

     "Spike do you think maybe we could... stay out here a wile longer, just until the sun goes down?", she asked, sounding a little more needing than she ment to.

     "Sure, why not."

...

     Meanwhile... as Twilight went after Spike everypony, and dragon just sat there until Pinkie looked like she was about to explode with excitement.

     "Sssoooooo... why did Spike run away, why did Twi follow him, when did you arrive in town, why are your scales black, how many scales do you have, how long is your wing span, do you eat jems, if you do which ones your favorite, how many teeth do you have, aaaaand... what color am I thinking of?", asked Pinkie all in one breath and in a row.

     "Now hold on sugar cube, don't be goin' off an confusing the pour guy...", AJ was cutoff mid sentence by Drake.

     "Its no trouble, now let's see...", he stopped to think a moment," in order from first to last question. We don't know, she went to see what was wrong, I got here this afternoon, because my father's were black, three million two hundred three, six feet, I can't decide, fifty three, and all of them.", he responded just as fast as she asked them.

     "Wow a hero, a gentiledrake, and a good listener, you are one interesting dragon Drake I may have to keep you all to myself.", Rarity said blushing.

     "I try", he said shaking of the compliment like it was nothing.

     "And modest, your the complete package", this time she said it batting her eyelashes.

     Yet again he thought nothing of it.

     Before anything else could be said Twilight walked back in with Spike following close behind. Spike was the first to speak,"I'm sorry I ran off like that, I just kind of freaked out."

     "There's no reason ta be sorry, like you said you freaked out", Dash said trying to comfort him.

     "Ya ya just needed time ta think",Applejack said giving her two bits.

     "Now, let's hit this party started!", Pinkie all but shouted turning on some music.

...

     The party party lasted for two hours in which Pinkie Pie was brought up to speed on what had happened, Fluttershy arrived with Angle, and much fun was had. However the fun didn't last forever as everypony had to leave, all but Rarity gave short goodbyes and left.

     "Okay boys I'm going to bed and I'm sure you to wouldn't mind talking for a wile. So figure out who is sleeping were and see you in the morning.", Twilight said as she walked up the stairs.

     "Okay Twilight goodnight", mumbled Spike like it was nothing, which it wasn't. But Drake was lost in her voice, thinking it came from an angle rather than a pony

     "Goodnight princess", he said hearts practically in his eyes. The two sat in quiet as she entered her room until she closed the door,"wow, isn't she something".

     "Who Twilight? She's more of a sister or a mother for me... wait a minute... you like her, don't you."

     "I guess you could say that", he said stopping a moment," but I'd like to know more about you at the moment", he said motioning to the couch.

     As they both took a seat Spike tried to start the conversation," So, what go you want to know?"

     "Well... everything, let's start small... what's your favorite color or color scheme?"

     "Purple and wight, yours?"

     "Black and lavender purple, favorite food?"

     "Diamonds and emeralds"

     "Mine is red rubies and amethysts",the questions flowed for another thirty minutes.

     "Theirs something that's been bugging me.", said Drake

     "What, do I have something on my face?"

     Drake chuckled,"No... why did you runaway earlier?"

     This was the question that Spike feared would come up,"To be honest, I was scared of what you would think of me, if I started crying. So I went to my room climbed up to a branch that I liked to sit on, and shed only three tears, then Twilight came up and told me I had nothing to be scared of."

     "She's right your an amazing dragon your kind, and generis, and many more good things. To be honest with you I shed a tear or two my self, and I'm proud to call you my brother."

     "And I would be proud to call you mine.", the two embraced in a much needed hug.

     "Now it's your turn to ask a question.", said Drake breaking the hug.

     "Do you drink? Because I need one.", asked Spike.

     "Not often, in fact I can drink six beers in ten minutes and nothing."

     "Well I may have something that might give you your first buzz"

     "Well I'll believe that when I see it, or feel it"

     "I'll be right back", excused Spike. He went into the main library and went to the center of the room to a carving of a pony head, at the base there was a secret button that opens a compartment. When he got there he opened the storage unit and pulled out a large gallon glass bottle. As he strode back into the living area he placed the bottle in Drake's hands,"this is a bottle of specialized apple flavored whiskey, it takes almost ten times the alcohol to get a dragon drunk than a pony can drink. This right here holds four times the alcohol of usual whisky, will still being smooth."

     "Well I see it but I still don't believe it, where'd you get this, it must have cost a small fortune?"

     "I have Big Mack make it special, every month I get two of these, and in exchange I work at the farm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I work for a hour"

     "Sounds like a good deal."

     "Ya and it keeps me from getting a beer gut from all the alcohol"

     "So does Twilight know you drink?", asked Drake

     "No and I don't need her going off on me about it and that even though its legal that its not good for me and bla bla bla... so you going to drink it or just sit with it in your lap?"

     "Alright, bottoms up", his first taste was not what he expected, it was like somepony had mixed apples, cinnamon, and whiskey it was sweet than specie with that slight heat in the back of his throat. "Wow", said the black scaled dragon with smoke coming from his ears,"that's good", he took another large swig. After the alcohol was introduced, the questions got deep,"so I've told you that I've got a crush on Twilight, now who do you have a crush on little bro?",said Drake with a little slur in his voice.

     "Rarity, I have a crush on Rarity, although I've got to know her really well so I'll even say I'm in love with her. But I think, no I know she has a crush on you."said the younger dragon his words slurd as well.

     "Ya isn't this ironic", chuckled Drake

     "What is?"

     "That Rarity has a crush on me, you have a crush her, I've got a crush on Twilight, but she has a crush on you"

     "What? Twilight doesn't have a crush on me"

     "Oh, well from  the looks of it she does, when you to came back from... were ever you were, she had a needy look when she wasn't next to you, than when she was near you she was practically jumping for joy. I'm sorry dude but... she likes you."

     "That doesn't make since, I'm her closest friend sure, and if been their for her more so than anyone else, and when she came to talk to me she was acting funny but... oh my Celestia Twilight likes me!"

     "Yep, it's ironic that the mare I like likes you, and the mare that you like likes me"

     A lite bulb went off in Spikes head,"Or at lest for right now anyway"

     "Are you saying we should make Rarity fall in love with you and Twilight with me"

     "Oh ya"

     "How?"

     "Easy, you teach me to fly and fight, I save Rarity somehow. Then I can teach you all about Twilight so you can win her over."

     "Where did you get so smart little brother?"

     "Twilight"

     "That makes since"

     "So do we have a deal", said Spike spitting into his hand and stuck it out.

     Drake did the same and took his hand,"Deal, now let's get to bed I'm tired"

     "Okay follow me, you can sleep on my bed, I'm sure Twilight probably already ordered you a bed for tomorrow.", without another word the two went to bed and slept until morning.
