Spike played his guitar for about five minutes before a yellow mist appeared in front of him and formed into a scroll.

"Who is it from, Spike?" Shining Armor questioned.

"Celestia," He said, as he put away his guitar. "The letter says that the weapons will be here in two days."

"That's great! Now we’ll be ready against those monster attacks."

"Where is everyone, Shining?" Rainbow asked, a bit anxious about the lack of activity.

"They're at farmer's market."

"Well, can you tell them that Spike's not another monster hunter here to kill everyone, and that he's been sent here from Canterlot?"

"Can you also tell them not to bow down to me or call me Prince Spike?" The Dragon asked.

"I got it. And why would they call you Prince?" Shining Armor replied.

“My mom is Celestia. Don’t freak out.”

Shining’s eyes widened but he didn’t say anything as he ran towards the market.

"Are there any house for sale around here?" Spike asked.

"I think so. Why?"

"I'm thinking of moving here. I like it."

"Awesome! There should be houses for sale over there," Rainbow Dash said, as she pointed to an apartment complex. "But you should totally meet some of my friends first. Sound cool?"

"Sure, that sounds great," Spike said. And with that, she took Spike to a park that was lit by a few candles, making it lit just enough to make sure it wasn't pitch black.

"Can you see alright, Spike?"

"Perfectly," He replied. "Trained as a monster hunter, you learn to see in the dark as if it were the middle of the day."

"Whoa! Think I could get training?" Rainbow Dash said, continuing until they could see a cottage. "This is where Fluttershy lives." She said, pointing to the cottage.

"I think I could put a word in for you. So, what is she, Dash?" Spike asked.

"A Dryad," she said.

“Interesting.” Dash knocked on the door.

"Coming," A timid voice said, not too long before the door opened, revealing a woody yellow Pegasi girl with pink leaves that made her mane, a green pair of pants and red shirt. "Hey D-D-D-D-Dash," She stuttered, now seeing Spike.

"Fluttershy, this is Spike. He's from Canterlot and Celestia's son."

"Oh! That’s… nice," she said, while opening the door a little wider. "Um… Your Highness?" She said, with a bow.

"You can just call me Spike. Is that alright?"

"Oh, yes. Do you want to come in?" She asked, watching as Spike and Rainbow nodded before letting them in.

"Can you see, Spike? I know Dash can't." She said, looking for a night vision potion.

"Yep, just one of the benefits of being a super cool monster hunter."

"Wow! Sounds great," Fluttershy said, giving Dash the potion, which she happily drank. "Have a seat, if you want to that is."

"Gladly," They both said, walking towards a nearby table, where Spike put his guitar and backpack against a nearby wall before taking his seat, noticing that Dash just took her seat right away.

"Would you like some tea?" Fluttershy asked.

"Nah, I'm good," Dash said, kicking back and placing her hooves on the table.

"I would love some." Spike said, prompting Fluttershy to go into the kitchen and start boiling the water.

"Do you have any other skills, Spike?" Rainbow Dash asked, breaking the silence.

"Well, I am a very good cook and I play the guitar." Spike said, pointing to it.

"Oh yeah? So, why are you a monster hunter, then?"

"Well... I like to help the peaceful monsters in any way that I can."

"You have a big heart, Spike," Rainbow said, smiling, just as a high pitch whistle pierced their ears.

"The tea is ready." Fluttershy said, bring out a full tea set on a platter.

"Spike? Are there Dryads that seem to hate nature?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah. We call them Anti-Dryads," Spike answers.

"Have you killed any?"

"Ya, I've kill loads of them."

"What do they seem to do?"

"Start forest fires, kill wildlife, you know, stuff that is morally wrong. They just don’t care."

"Hmm," she replied somberly, letting the silence take over, at least until they struck up a lighter conversation that lasted until Spike's tea was long finished and Rainbow's potion was starting to wear off, prompting Spike to grab his stuff as they said goodbye to Fluttershy. Once outside, Dash lead Spike to Sweet Apple Acres to meet the Apple Family, stopping at a huge apple orchard with the glow of the sunset on their faces.

"Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres!" Rainbow said, throwing out her arms, letting Spike take in the view as well as a very muscular earth pony with blue pants and a yellow T-shirt with a brown Stetson, sleeping under a tree, which he immediately noticed was a Werewolf.

"Who's that, Dash?" Spike asked.

"Oh, that's just Applejack," She answered happily. "Want to meet her?" Spike gave a nod and they walked over.

"Hey AJ!" Rainbow Dash said, getting her attention.

"Well howdy, Sugarcube! Who's this feller?" Applejack asked.

"This is Spike," Rainbow Dash said. "And he doesn't like to be treated like he's Celestia's son."

"Your mom is Celesta!?" Applejack practically shouted.

"Yeah," Spike sighed.

"Well... Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay here." AJ said.

"Actually, I’m thinking of moving here."

"That so? Well, I know you’ll have a nice time here," Applejack said.

"Hey AJ, if you don't mind me asking, is your whole family Werewolves?" Spike asked.

"How'd you know that I'm a Werewolf?"

"I'm a monster hunter, and it helps to know who's a what, especially when they're trying to rip you to pieces."

"Well, ain’t that fancy? Ya wanna meet 'em? They're just comin’ back from the farmer’s market," she said, just as a small filly with a red shirt and long jeans and an almost shockingly large stallion with a blue t-shirt and black sweats came down from the gate. The stallion saw the two and started to walk towards them as the filly hid behind the stallion.

"So, you're Spike?" The stallion said.

"Yep, that’s me." Spike answered.

"I'm Big Macintosh," he said, holding out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Big Macintosh. Can I call you Mac?" Spike said as he grabbed Big Mac's hand and shook it.

"Sure you can. And this is Apple Bloom," He said, revealing the filly with wide eyes and a dropped jaw.

"Are you a real monster hunter?" She asked.

"Sure am," Spike said, with a chuckle.

"Wow! Your job is so cool!"

"Yep. But killing monsters isn’t all fun and games."

"Hey Big Mac, where's Granny Smith?" Applejack asked, "Wasn't she with you?"

"She's probably in the house," He said. "She might've come in while you were sleeping."

"AJ, you don't mind if Spike and I leave now, do ya? I'm taking him on the grand tour," Rainbow Dash asked.

"Nope, go right ahead."

"Alright Spike, follow me."

"Got it," Spike said. They said their goodbyes and headed back into town, saying hi to all of the residents until they arrived at a purple circular building.

"Here's the Carousel Boutique. This is where Rarity lives." Rainbow Dash said, opening the door for the two of them. They saw a Vampire with blue curls wearing a pink t-shirt, blue pants, and a big yellow hat standing over two mannequins adorned with various unfinished pieces of fancy clothing.

"No no no," She said as walked around, looking for something.

"Hi, Rares!" Rainbow Dash said, as Rarity spun around to see her friend and a dragon.

"Hello, Rainbow Dash." Rarity said, walking over to them. "Oh my goddess! You must be Prince Spike!" Nearly rushing the last few paces to the Prince, only to be stopped by his cold, icy stare.

"Rarity, before you say anything else, just letting you know that your beauty will not grant you any favor towards my heart," he said, with an icy tone that froze Rarity in a dumbfounded stump, practically destroying her plan right from the start. "I've seen more women like you than I care to count, that think they can sway me into marriage simply because I am a Prince and they are beautiful, which is honestly the most idiotic thing I've seen people do."

"Well... that’s understandable, I guess," Rarity said, dejectedly.

"And don't think that you're going to make me feel guilty just because I say 'I don't love you,' because they've all given me that exact same excuse you were just giving me now." Rarity looked down in defeat.

"So what brings you here?" Rarity asked, brightening back up.

"Well, I'm moving here and wanted to meet some of the locals," Spike said.

"Well then, I hope you enjoy it here! I'm so glad to see that you are moving here and giving this town a little more class! Did you need any clothes, dear?"

"Hey, Rarity." Rainbow Dash interrupted.

"Yes, Rainbow." Rarity responded.

"Whose clothing is that?" Rainbow asked as she pointed to one of the mannequins.

"Oh, it's for a new customer of mine." Rarity said. "Actually, you might know him, Spike. His name's Fancy Pants."

"Oh, I definitely know him. He's a good friend of mine," Spike said, smiling, as Rarity's jaw dropped, her eyes widening in shock.

"I think I broke her, Rainbow. How about we go meet another one of your friends," Spike suggested as Rainbow Dash nodded.

"Here is Sugarcube Corner. Where the best baked goods in the world are made," Rainbow Dash said, pointing to a building that looked like a cupcake with a western style door, when all of a sudden a female pink Frankenstein monster with blue jeans, a red shirt, and white flip flops ran up and hugged Spike with enough power to crush his guitar.

"Whoa, can you stop hugging me now!" Spike gasped.

"Sorry," the Frankenstein monster said, as she let go of Spike, who looked at his smashed guitar.

"Dammit."

"Sorry," She said again, looking a bit downtrodden at the sight.

"Hey, it is ok. I can probably buy a new one somewhere," Spike replied.

"Spike this is Pinkie Pie," Rainbow Dash said.

"Yep that's me! So, what are you doing here?" Pinkie Pie asked, all bubbly again.

"I'm moving here," Spike said, just before Pinkie started to jump around happily until she stopped right in front of Spike.

"WOOHOO! I'm going to throw you a big welcome to Bloodville party!"

"Well, I don't have a place, yet," Spike said. "But when Rainbow Dash is finished introducing me to all of her friends I am going to look for one."

"Oh, I know you’re going to have a blast living here!" Pinkie Pie said, with an overly happy voice.

"Well, thank you," Spike said just as a buzzer on Pinkie's arm stared to ring.

"OH CRAP! Gotta go!" Pinkie Pie said, as she bolted off.

"What's up with her?" Spike asked.

"Pinkie? She's probably late for a party or she needs to make a Pinkie Promise," Rainbow Dash said.

"A 'Pinkie Promise?' What's that?" Spike asked.

"Well it is something she made. She is better at explaining it than I am, since I’ve only made one. Word to the wise, though. Never break one," Rainbow Dash explained.

"Alright," Spike said, shrugging off his confusion.

"How about we go see Twilight Sparkle?" Rainbow asked, seeing Spike nod before they went off, throwing away the pieces of Spike's destroyed guitar as they went, just to stop in front of a tree. "Here's the Golden Oaks Library, this where Twilight lives. Heck, she's almost never seen anywhere else."

`"Why's that?" Spike asked, as they entered library.

"She just really loves books. Hey, Twilight!" Rainbow said, just as they saw a centaur with a green shirt turn from putting back a book on its shelf to see Spike and Rainbow.

"Hello Rainbow, and hello Spike," Twilight said. "You don't mind if I ask you a few questions, do you, Spike?"

"Nah it’s fine, as long as it's not classified, that is," Spike replied.

"Understandable. First, what's it like to have the goddess of the sun as your mother?"

"Heh, hardly anyone calls her that anymore, but I suppose it's like any other family: it gets hard at times and easy at others."

"How is it hard at times and easy at others?"

"Well since I am a Prince, I have to go to meetings to help my mother, or represent her when she and Luna are sick. It's easy when you're the one that's sick because servants make sure you're nice and warm, plus my cousin Cadence is a blast to play with."

"What monsters live in Canterlot?"

"All sorts. We have Vampires, 'Frankenstein', Lamias, and Banshees, just to name a few."

"This is my last question: Do you have 100% access to the Canterlot Archives?"

"Sure do, my family has 100% access to the Canterlot Archives. Monster Hunters can access it too, but how much depends on their rank."

"How much can a regular monster access."

"Well, all of the ranks need permission from the royal family and every rank has a gradual change of information they can get."

"How gradual?"

"Like one grade level every 2 ranks."

"Why is it that gradual?"

"Sorry, that is classified."

"Alright, you asked your questions, Twilight. Now we gotta go, because Spike here doesn't have a home yet and he needs to go buy one," Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh... Right, thank you, Spike," Twilight called back, with a slight blush appearing on her cheeks, as they left the Library and went to the apartment complex.

"Do you know where I can buy some furniture?" Spike asked, while waiting for the landlord.

"Quills and Sofas has lots of furniture." Rainbow Dash said, as a warlock came wailing into the room.

"So, you're Spike?" The warlock said, to which Spike nodded. "I am the landlord here, and let me guess... you're going to be buying a house? Well, follow me and I'll see if I can get you an armament." The landlord showed Spike to his office where he bought an apartment on the top floor.

Meanwhile in a dark room, two figures sat for their meeting.

"So, why did you call me?" The first figure said.

"I want you to make two people suffer," the second figure said.

"Who do you want to suffer and how should I go about it?"

"The princesses of the sun and the moon. And by killing those they care for the most."

"Celestia and Luna? You have made some powerful enemies. But who is it that they care for?"
"

Prince Blueblood," he said, handing the figure a picture of a white unicorn with a golden yellow mane, "Princess Cadence," Handing over a picture of a pink Alicorn with purple and yellow mane, "And lastly, Prince Spike," he finished, handing over a picture of him. "And make sure they can't trace any of this back to me."

"Oh don't worry, I always make sure of that," The second figure said, a devious grin forming.

"I am glad to hear that," the first figure replied, with a matching grin.
