Spike and the Mane-iac were still asleep in bed. But just at this moment, a glob of light surrounded the bed, and in an instant, they were teleported somewhere else. unknowingly, they were still fast asleep. Spike was dreaming of the mane-iac, and her friends, (Obviously, he still misses them, with Fluttershy as the one he misses the most.) All of a sudden, they were transported to the library, which was Twilight Sparkle's bedroom, in Celestia's castle. The bed was surrounded by Twilight, Fluttershy, and their friends along with them, with Discord, Shining Armor, and Cadence as well.

"Go on, Fluttershy." whispered twilight to Fluttershy standing next to her. "Now you quietly save Spike from the Mane-iac, and put him on your back, and After that, we go to a different room."

"W...what if they wakes up?" whispered Fluttershy in fear.

"Don't worry, dear." said Discord "We all got your back." He looked at the others, and said to everyone "Agreed?"

"Agreed." everyone exclaimed very quietly.

At this, Fluttershy slowly tip-toed over to the bed, and used her arms to carefully pick up Spike and put her on her back without waking the baby dragon up. Fortunately, the baby dragon didn't wake up, and was still fast asleep. They quietly left the room without waking the insane villainess.

"Are you sure she won't wake up, Shining armor?" said Twilight to her older brother.

"I'm sure." said Shining.

The group continued tip-toeing out of the room, and when the Mane-iac was safely out of the way, they arrived in Celestia's bedroom. They gently put Spike down on the princess' bed. The full moon glared brightly throught the window onto the bed, where Spike still slept with no covers.

Fluttershy slowly walked up to the baby dragon, and gently rubbed his side to wake him up. "Spiiiiikkkkke...." she whispered to his ear.

The baby dragon woke up, and slowly sat on Celestia's bed. He gently rubbed his eyes, and looked outside. He saw Luna's beautiful moon gazing down upon him. He looked the other way, and he saw Fluttershy, Twilight, Shining, Cadence, Discord, and his friends looking at him with happy faces.

"Spike!" exclaimed Fluttershy, hugging him tightly. "You're okay!"

"Fl...Fluttershy? Is...is that you?" said Spike.

"I'm here. I'm here." said Fluttershy soothingly. "We were so worried about you." She put him down, and she looked around his small body. "Did the Mane-iac hurt you? Are you injured?" Said Fluttershy, very worried about the baby dragon. At this, she exited the room at the speed of light, and came back at the speed of light with a doctor's stethoscope, and a first aid kit. "Let me take a look." she said while looking at Spike's body again.

"Yeah, Spike. You wouldn't believe how worried I was about you." said Twilight. She also began to check the baby dragon to look for injuries.

"Fluttershy, Twili, Please...st...stop that!" said Spike, who slapped the mares hooves. "I okay, I'm okay." said Spike.

"Are you sure?" asked Rarity. "I was so worried that... that ruffian Mane-iac just hurt one little scale on your cutsie-wootsie head." she said while rubbing Spike's head a little roughly

"Rarity, St..stop that!" Spike exclaimed, becoming very annoyed

The three were quite surprised at Spike's annoyance, and behavior.

"Spike?" said Twilight. "W...what's wrong?" she asked him with concern

"Nothing's wrong." said the baby dragon.

"Are you not happy to see us?" asked Fluttershy.

"Of course I'm happy to see you all." said Spike

"Are you hungry?" asked Rarity. "Because I can make you a ruby sandwich if you like."

"No!" said Spike in annoyance

"Then why don't you like like you're happy to see us, sugarcube?" asked Applejack. "You can tell us anything."

"Alright, this involves the Mane-iac 'kidnapping' me." said Spike

Shining Armor walked up to him and crouched down to his size. "What did she want from you little buddy?" he asked

"Well...She...She..."

"Yes???" said everyone in unison.

"It's a long story." said Spike, a little nervous

"Come on, Spike. We are just trying to help you." said Applejack

"Yes, my boy." said Discord. "Please, what's going on." he placed his lion arm on the baby dragon's shoulders as a comforting technique.

"She said she..." but Spike was interrupted by a sudden voice he recognized to well.

"Hello? Spike?" it was the Mane-iac. She just woke up and was looking for Spike. All of a sudden she saw Fluttershy, Twilight, and the group. "YOU!!!" she exclaimed very menacingly

"YOU!!!" exclaimed the Mane 6.

"Power Ponies! We meet again at last, and this time you will not win this time! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" cackled the Mane-iac

"You got some nerve, you witch! Taking our poor Spikey-Whikey away from us!" exclaimed Rarity.

"Me?! the Kidnapper, it is you who are the kidnappers you whoring little insects!" said the Mane-iac to the group.

"Oh fuck you, you scoundrel! We beat you once, we can beat you again, Mane-iac!" said Rainbow Dash

Fluttershy stepped in front of the group and said "You won't kidnap any pony any longer you hag! Now, prepare to meet your retribution!"

"Bring it on!" said the Mane-iac.

At this, The Mane-iac and the group charged at each-other, giving out loud battle cries, with Fluttershy ahead of the group against the unhinged villainess, but, when they were about to clash with each-other, Spike stepped up in between the two side, with both of his hands facing Fluttershy, Discord, Shining Armor, Twilight, and the others who were about to fight the Mane-iac.

"STOOOOPPPPPP!!!!!!" shouted Spike to Fluttershy and his friends. "I won't let you hurt my friend!" he said while standing by the Mane-iac's side. "If any one of you want to hurt her, then You all got to go through me first!"

"Aww...that's Sweet, Spikey-poo." said The Mane-iac. She lifted Spike, and gave him a kiss on his cheek, making Fluttershy and her friends look shocked and surprised.

The Ponies and Discord were very surprised by how Spike was like at the moment. They could see it in his eyes, angry, serious, and determined to protect the Mane-iac at all costs. Worst of all, they could not understand how the Mane-iac just kissed Spike like that and call him that name that Rarity sometimes called him. They remembered at how the Mane-iac called Spike "utterly useless', and made fun of him because he had no super powers.

"Your...Friend?" said Twilight in surprise.

"How could the Mane-iac be your friend? After what she did to you and us in the comic book?" said Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah, After calling you those names 'weak', 'useless'? Why would the Mane-iac be your friend?" said Fluttershy

"Look....Let me explain." said Spike. "But please, I beg of you, please listen to me."

"We're listening said Fluttershy

"Hm-mm" said the group in unison.

"Alright then." The baby dragon started. He told his friends that on the night in Fluttershy's cottage, and how he woke up in an old abandoned house in Ponnyville. "At first, I thought that she really was going to kill me, or take revenge on me." Spike said. "I was so scared at what I thought she would do to me, and I, uh....Started sobbing, but she comforted me, and hugged me." Spike also explained to the others that she came to Ponyville through a warp gate that her hench-ponies invented. "I asked her why she was being so nice to me, and she said that she felt guilty about treating me like dirt when we were in the comic book, and she said she wanted to make it up to me, and she said that I was... I regret saying this, 'cute', and the nicest baby dragon she has ever met."

The others were quite surprised at hearing about what Spike just said about him being "Abducted" by Maretropolis' most dangerous and insane super villain.

Shining Armor walked up to him, and looked at him with a suspicious look on his face. "Are you sure, Spike?" he said.

"Yes. I'm telling you all the truth." He told Twilight's older brother. Spike then looked at the group behind the husband of princess Cadence. "Look...If any of you don't believe me, give me a lie detector test on me, or the Mane-iac, but I promise I'm telling you all the truth about how it all happened."

"I'll be the judge of that." said Applejack, who walked up to the unhinged mare and the baby dragon. She inspected the Mane-iac's eyes to see if she was telling the truth or not. It took thirty seconds, but Applejack finally turned around, and gave out a loud sigh. "Spike's telling the truth." she said to the group behind Shining Armor. "The Mane-iac really does love Spike, and just wanted to have some time with him."

The group gave out a loud gasp with surprise.

"Well..." said Cadence. "If Applejack says it, it must be true."

It took a little while for the group to accept the truth, even Rainbow Dash was the last to recognize what was happening, but they all accepted the truth a few moments later.

Twilight walked up to the Mane-iac and said to her "I suppose I can trust you...for now, but I really want you to prove to us that you really love Spike, understood?" she sounded a little firm, and thought this was still a bad idea, but she was convinced that the Mane-iac wasn't lying.

"Very well, Masked Matterhorn." said the Mane-iac. She then thought of Something, "Oh! that's right." she exclaimed. "I forgot that you just came into the comic book. So...What are all of your names?" she asked

"I'm fluttershy." said she.

"I'm Shining Armor"

"I'm Cadence

"I am Rarity"

"I'm Applejack"

"I am Twilight Sparkle."

Pinkie went up, and shook the Mane-iac's hoof very roughly. "I'm Pinkie Pie, and it is so wonderful for you to be in Equestria..." However, Pinkie was interrupted by her mouth covered by Spike

"Pinkie!" said Spike. "Please, try to calm down a little, alright?"

"Oh, fine." said Pinkie, feeling bummed

Rainbow Dash was still a little unconvinced, but she gave out a loud sigh, and said "And, I'm Rainbow Dash."

"And I'm Discord, Master of Chaos! HAHAHAHA!!" said he, but He remembered his reformation by Fluttershy, and said "But, don't worry I only use it for good instead of evil." he said bowing his head to the Mane-iac. "Well...most of the time, ." he said very quietly.

"Well, It's nice to meet you all. Any-pony who is a friend of Spike is a friend of mine." said The Mane-iac happily. "Anywho, I will prove to you all that I do care about Spike." She added proudly

"Good." said Twilight

Spike then walked up to Twilight with a look of guilt on his face. "Twi, I'm sorry I walked away from you, when I was mad. Please, forgive me."

Twilight gave him a warm smile and said "No, Forgive me. I should have believed you earlier, so I'm sorry."

"Alright." said Spike "I forgive you."

"Thanks Spike." said Twilight. At this, the two hugged, making everyone d'aww at this moment, including Discord and the Mane-iac.

"Fluttershy came up, and said "I was wondering, Now that you're home, do you still want to stay at my house for a little while?"

Spike looked at Twilight, and asked "Is that okay with you, Twilight?"

"Of course Spike." said Twilight." You are more than welcome to stay at her cottage as long as you want.

"What about me?" asked the Mane-iac

"You can stay with Spike and Fluttershy too." said Twilight. "Meanwhile, I gotta tell this to Celestia and Luna, the rulers of this world." she said to the Mane-iac.

"Good." said the Mane-iac in a very excited voice.

"We are just so glad to have you home." said Fluttershy, who gave Spike a warm hug.

"Thanks, Fluttershy." said the baby dragon who hugged the timid pegasus back. The hug was much longer than Twilight's, and it looked more precious, and adorable.

When they broke the hug, Applejack said "I think we should all hit the straw."

"Agreed." said Rainbow Dash

"Alright. Spike, would you like to ride on my back." Fluttershy asked

"I might want to ask the Mane-iac so she doesn't get jealous." said Spike. The baby dragon then turned to the unhinged villain, and said "Is that alright with you Mane-iac?"

The Mane-iac smiled and said "If you're happy I'm happy." She pulled Spike into a long loving kiss and their lips locked for a few seconds. Once again, every-pony gave out a loud "Aww..."

Spike then rode on Fluttershy, and Every-pony, and Discord headed home right after he told everyone good night. (Discord just poofed back to his home.)

Spike fell asleep on the shy pegasus' back many minutes later. He knew that it was going to unexpectedly go well for his relationship with him, and the Mane-iac.

Author's Note

What will the Mane-iac do to really prove to the Mane 6 that she really loves Spike? find out on the next chapter. I decided to use something new for a music track instead of the Kingdom Hearts music, if that's alright to all of my readers.
