Spike was caring with Fluttershy's animals, and with her standing next to him. They were just feeding the chickens, while the Mane-iac was in the comic book, which was now in Spike's possession, talking to her hench-ponies about she and Spike's "disappearance." Spike also got a note from both Princess Celestia, and Luna, saying that she must go to a trial for kidnapping the baby dragon. The note said that if she was guilty, she will be forced to go back in the comic book, which will be taken away, and Spike would never see her again. If she is not guilty, she will be a free mare. Spike became a little worried, but he just had to wait and see what happens in the future.

"Hey...Fluttershy?" said the baby dragon

"Yes, Spike?" said Fluttershy gently

"Th...thanks for letting the Mane-iac stay with us."

The yellow pegasus smiled and said "You are very welcome."

"I really hope you don't mind." said Spike a little nervous.

"Not at all." said Fluttershy gently. "If you're happy, I'm happy." She pulled the baby dragon into another hug, with Spike hugging her back,

"Thanks." said Spike. But, Spike began to shed a tear in his eye. Fluttershy saw this, and knelt down so she can make eye contact with the baby dragon.

"What's wrong, Spike?" asked Fluttershy tenderly

"I'm just worried." said Spike.

"About what?" the pink maned pegasus asked him softly.

"The trial." said Spike, with his throat breaking.

"Don't be." said Fluttershy. "Twilight told Celestia, and Luna about how the Mane-iac treated you in the comic book, and how much she loved you. I'm pretty sure that she will be fine."

"I know, I know. But...but....what if she is guilty? And what if I never see her again?" Spike said, while letting more and more tears run down his face. Fluttershy gently hugged him tightly. "Shhh....." she whispered. "It's okay Spike. They won't take her away. I promise. She spoke in one of the most tender voices that the baby dragon has ever heard.

"Are you sure?" said Spike

"Of course." said Fluttershy. "I will deeply support your relationship between the Mane-iac and you." She broke her hug with him, and gave him a tender kiss on his forehead.

Spike stopped crying, and began to calm down.

"Better?" asked Fluttershy with a sad smile while giving him a tissue."

After Spike blew his nose he said "Yeah. I'm feeling way better. Thanks, Fluttershy." said Spike

"Good." said Fluttershy. "You are very welcome." She gave him another tender kiss.

"You are very welcome, Spike." replied Fluttershy

At this, They broke their hug when the Mane-iac interrupted them, like she just popped up out of nowhere. "I hope I'm not interrupting, am I?" she said

"Of course not, my love." said Spike. "What is it?"

The Mane-iac then looked at Fluttershy, and back to the baby dragon again. "Can I speak to you in private, Spike?"

"Sure thing." Spike said

"You don't mind, do you Fluttershy?" The Mane-iac said to the yellow pegasus.

Fluttershy began to worry a little, but she thought of what the villain said. "Not at all, Mane-iac. Go ahead." she said

The Mane-iac smiled. "Thank you, Fluttershy."

The two then went into the cottage, and into Fluttershy's bathroom. The Mane-iac closed the door behind her and the baby dragon, and locked it, while turning the lights on.

"What's going on, Mane-iac?" asked Spike with concern. "Is there something wrong?"

"No! No!" exclaimed the Mane-iac. "Nothing's wrong at all, dear. You see, I was just thinking." said the Mane-iac

"About what?" asked Spike

"I think that we should go on a special night together. you know: a 'date'?" said the Mane-iac a little sheepish.

"That sounds like a great idea!" exclaimed Spike with excitement. "Where do you want to go together?" he asked.

"I think that's for you to decide, Spikey-whikey."

"Are you sure?" asked the baby dragon.

"Of course, I am." said the Mane-iac. "I don't mind going where you want to go at all. Do whatever makes yourself happy, and if you are happy, than so am I." She bent down, and gave him a kiss on the nose.

"Thanks." said Spike. "Let me think."

"Take as much time as you need to." said the unhinged mare.

It took a few minutes for Spike to think of a special spot for him and the Mane-iac for their own little date. He paced to and fro with one hand behind his back, and his other hand scratching his chin Finally, something came up to his mind. "It's decided!" he exclaimed

"So...where would you like to go for tonight?" asked the Mane-iac

"Yes." said Spike. "I want to go to Sugarcube corner." he said

"Well then Sugarcube corner it is." said the Mane-iac, in a happy tone.

"I should probably ask Fluttershy and Rarity if they can help create a tuxedo for me. What would you like to wear, Mane-iac?"

"No Dress, no bow, no offense." said the Mane-iac. "I rather prefer the suit I am wearing at the moment, after all, this is what I always wear." said the Mane-iac. "Well, I have other fresh suits for me in my bedroom closet of course." she blushed

"I understand." said Spike. "I would be more than glad if you just wore your usual outfit."

"Thanks." sais the Mane-iac. She picked up Spike, and they made out for almost a minute, when Fluttershy knocked on the door.

"H...hello?" The yellow pegasus called in a worried, and timid voice. "Is...is everything okay in there."

"We're fine." said Spike

"A...are you sure, because I can make you both something to eat...if that's okay with you." said Fluttershy.

"No. We're alright." said the Mane-iac. She Opened the door with Spike next to her. "We were just thinking."

"About what? said Fluttershy

"We feel like that we should go on a date together, tonight." said Spike

Fluttershy's eyes grew wide with surprise. "That's wonderful!" she said. "Where?"

"Sugarcube Corner" said Spike and the Mane-iac in unison with smiles on their faces.

"We were just about to ask Rarity if she can design me a tuxedo." said the baby dragon.

"Oh, there's no need to. I can get her over hear. If that's okay with you." said Fluttershy sheepishly.

"Of course it is." said the Mane-iac.

"So when are you going on this little date?" asked the yellow pegasus

"Yeah. When shall we go?" asked Spike.

"9:00 tonight" said the Mane-iac

"Are you sure, because that's a little late." said Spike. "I worried that I might fall asleep." He admitted, bushing his cheeks very red.

"Don't worry." said the Mane-iac. "You stayed up late at my hom a couple of times, remember?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot." said the baby dragon rubbing his head.

"It's settled." said Fluttershy. "Right now, it's..." she looked at her clock. "5:00pm at the moment. So during 8:00. I will go to Rarity's boutique, and she will come over here to build a tuxedo for you. Does that sound like a plan?"

"It does!" exclaimed the baby dragon and the unhinged mare in unison. The three went downstairs, and continued their normal, durable businesses.

Later at 7:57pm...

Spike and the Mane-iac were in Fluttershy's room, and they were making out with each-other many times for almost an hour, with the Mane-iac baby talking to the baby dragon, and snuggling him as well. They also told each-other complements like "I love you." or "You're everything I ever wanted." and other compliments. The Mane-iac would also put Spike in a cocoon with her tendrils, and put her on her stomach while she laid down on Fluttershy's bed, petting the baby dragon's head.

"Spike? Mane-iac?" said an unexpexted voice that was just outside of Fluttershy's bedroom door. It was Rarity, here to build a tuxedo with a perfect fit for Spike, with Fluttershy by her side. "What's going on around here?" she asked with a look of confusion.

The two were just stammering, and couldn't say a word right, but they both said that "It's not what it looks like." and just kept on stammering again.

Both Fluttershy, and Rarity both giggled at their reaction.

"It's alright." said Rarity. "You you wanted a little 'alone time' you should have just told Fluttershy."

"Any who, Let's get to work on Spikey-whikey's tuxedo." said the Mane-iac

"Right!" said all three in unison.

Spike then thought of something. "Mane-iac?"

"Hmm?

"Is it okay if you wait upstairs? I want it to be a surprise for you." said Spike

"Of course, Spikey-poo." said the Mane-iac tenderly.

The three went downstairs, and they began to work on Spike's tuxedo

Ten minutes later

Rarity was measuring Spike's waist for the size with measuring tape, with Fluttershy and her animal friends watching it all happen. Rarity then used the tape to measure his height. "Ooh, I think I will make your tuxedo fit perfectly." she said excitingly.

"I really hope this doesn't take forever." said Spike, groaning a little

"It won't Spikey-Whikey. Just be patient." said Rarity. "You can't rush art." she added in a sing-song tone while pinching the baby dragon's cheeks.

After twenty minutes, Spike's tuxedo was complete. Spike looked at it, and he was impressed with his eyes wide with awe. "It's....awesome!" exlcaimed Spike happily "The Mane-iac will love this!"

"I'm pretty sure she will, Spike." said Fluttershy warmly.

"Try it on, sweetie." said Rarity. Spike put on the tuxedo, and it matched him perfectly. It felt so warm, and so light, like it was his own skin. "So?" said Rarity. "How does it fit?

"I don't like it." said Spike firmly.

"What?!" exclaimed Fluttershy and Rarity.

"I....Love it!" exclaimed the baby dragon.

Rights go to FUNimation

Rarity and Fluttershy's faces turned into huge smiles.

"Oh, Spike. you look so cute, handsome, and adorable all at once." said Rarity, squeezing Spike's cheeks once again.

"Yeah, you look so handsome. The Mane-iac will definitely love your outfit for sure." said Fluttershy proudly.

"Thanks." said Spike. "Now to go show my love my new tuxedo.

At Fluttershy's bedroom

Spike opened the door, with Fluttershy and Rarity behind him. "Mane-iac!" he called in a sing-song voice. As soon as the baby dragon entered the room, the Mane-iac was surprised, and fascinated with Spike in his tuxedo

"Why, Spike. You look absolutely handsome, and so cute in that tuxedo!" said the Mane-iac. Just like what Rarity did, She picked up Spike and pressed her hooves on his cheeks.

"Mane-iac...Please....cut that out. You're embarrassing me." said Spike.

The Mane-iac gently put Spike down and said "Sorry Spike, but you look so handsome."

Spike was blushing again, and put his arm around their back of his head, scratching it softly. "Aw, shucks." he said sheepishly. "Stop it."

The Mane-iac giggled, and gently rubbed Spike's head. "Well...shall we be on our way then?" she said

"Let's shall." said Spike. He reached out his hand, as did the Mane-iac reach out one of her tendrils, they help clung to each other.

"Have fun!" exclaimed Fluttershy and Rarity. At this, Spike and the Mane-iac headed out of the cottage, and into the night on the dirt road, with Luna's moon shining brightly.

At Ponyville

In Ponyville, The Mane-iac were a few miles away from Sugarcube Corner, when They were stopped by a small white, brown spotted colt. It was Pipsqueak. Spike and the colt became good friends after a month, and they care deeply for each-other.

"Hello, Spike." said Pip. When he looked at the Mane-iac, he gave out an excited gasp. "Oh my Celestia! It's the Mane-iac! I am your biggest fan!" said he. "Can I have an autograph?" he pulled out a pencil and a piece of paper out of nowhere.

"Hahahaha! Of course, little one. Anything for my fans, hahaha." said the Mane-iac. She used her tendril to write her name on the colt's paper. "Here you go." she said after she finished

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" said a very happy Pip

The Mane-iac chuckled and said "You are very welcome." She knelt down to his level and said "What's your name little one?"

"Pipsqueak, but you can call me Pip." said he.

"Nice to meet you, Pipsqueak." said the unhinged mare. She hugged him gently, and the colt hugged her back.

"So, Where are you two heading right now?" Pip asked, when he was put down.

"We are on a date at Sugarcube Corner tonight." said Spike

"That would explain the sharp looking tuxedo." said Pip

"You got that right." said Spike, then they both laughed at the statement.

"Well. I'm off." said Pip

"Alright, see you later, Pip." said Spike

"See ya." said Pip. He then ran off into the road, to his house.

"Well, He seems like a nice little colt." said the Mane-iac

"He is." said Spike

"Let's keep going." said the unhinged mare.

"Right then."

The two then continued to Sugarcube Corner for their special night together in the moonlight.

At Sugarcube Corner

Spike and the Mane-iac were right outside Sugarcube Corner, and opened the door. They saw Mr, and Mrs Cake, just waiting for any customers to come in. When they saw Spike, they grew a smile on their faces.

"Ah, hello Spike." said Mr Cake.

"Hi, Mr. Cake" said Spike "How are you?"

"Good, and how are you?" asked Mr Cake

"Good."

Mr and Mrs cake looked at the Mane-iac, and both said in unison "And who is this?"

"She is the Mane-iac." said Spike proudly.

"The Mane-iac?" said Mrs Cake. "Oh that's right, The comic book villain."

"Welcome to Sugarcube Corner Mane-iac." said Mr Cake

"Why, thank you." said the unhinged villain.

"You are very welcome. Now, may I show you to your table?" asked Mr Cake

"Yes, please." said the baby dragon and the unhinged mare in unison.

When they arrived at the empty table, they sat on it, and when they were about to look at the menu, they were interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Spike! Mane-iac!" it was Pinkie Pie. "Are you two dating here?" she asked

"Yep." said Spike.

"Well great. so...what can we give you?" asked Pinkie.

"I will have..." Spike looked at the menu, right in his face, and said "I will have the emerald flaked Salad with yellow lemonade."

"Coming right up" said Mr. Cake, who left the two to fix Spike's dinner

"And what would you like, Mane-iac?" Asked Mrs cake to the unhinged villain.

The Mane-iac looked at the menu again, and looked back at Mrs Cake. "I would like the Apple fritter, with a side of Dandelion crepes, and pink lemonade" she said

"Right away." said Mrs Cake

The two waited a few minutes with their food, and the Cakes came back with their delicious dinner meals, and they looked exquisite.

"By the way." said Spike "How did you all know of Me and the Mane-iac" he asked the married couple.

"Let's just say that word get around fast around here." said Pinkie Pie.

"Indeed. When Your friends found out they were missing, it spread like wildfire, and that's how every-pony in Ponyville knows about it." said Mr Cake

"Oh, I see." said Spike

After a few minutes they were stuffed with the food they have ate, with Spike giving out a loud belch.

"Haha. Excuse you, Spikey-Whikey." said the Mane-iac teasingly.

"Thanks." said Spike patting his tummy. "Good thing we eat free at this place, because of Pinkie Pie."

"Agreed."

The Cakes, and Pinkie Pie then came back with smiles on their faces. "So....how was your food?" said Mr Cake

"Delicieux." said Spike and the Mane-iac in unison.

"Wonderful!" said Mrs Cake.

"thank you so much for letting us have the food for free here." said Spike

"You are very welcome, kiddo." said Mr Cake.

Spike and the Mane-iac both got up, and the unhinged villain used a tendril to gently lift Spike and put him on her back. "Well, we might as well be on our way." said the Mane-iac

"Okey dokey lokey, then." said Pinkie Pie.

Before the two were about to exit the door, they said their goodbyes, and then exited. After they exited, Spike asked "Mane-iac, Is it okay if we go out into the pasture?"

The Mane-iac smiled warmly at him, and said "Of course, Spikey-poo. What for?"

"I...I just feel like going out into this little spot in the pasture. I also thought it would be more romantic."

"I couldn't agree more." said the Mane-iac.

They soon headed into the pasture not far from Ponyville.

In the Pasture

Rights go to Slash

The Mane-iac, and Spike were relaxing, and gazing to the stars, and Luna's beautiful bright moon, sighing blissfully sometimes. The baby dragon was on top of the villain's lap, with light from Luna's moon shining down upon them. They also pointed out a few conselations like Orion, Pisces, Ursa Major, and Leo the Lion.

"You enjoying yourself, sweetie." said the Mane-iac

"Of course." said Spike. "How about you?" he asked.

She chuckled and said "Of course, I am Spikey-poo."

"Good."

"You were right dear, the view of the night sky is so beautiful, and so does the full moon." said The Mane-iac while gently petting Spike's head.

"I told ya." said Spike while putting his hand on his stomach so he can relax them.

"Do you come here often?" asked the Mane-iac

"Sometimes, but not all the time." Spike answered

"Well you have a good taste for picking a good spot to relax in." said the unhinged mare.

"So, what did your hench-ponies say?" asked the baby dragon.

"they said that they were going to be fine with me being gone for a few days in Ponyville."

"Good." said Spike. But, He thought of the trial again, and began to shed a tear, without the Mane-iac noticing. The Mane-iac then felt a tear run down her suit, and lifted Spike up with a tendril.

"Spike? Wh...what's the matter?" asked the Mane-iac softly and motherly

"I....I'm so worried about the trial tomorrow." said Spike, breaking down into more tears. "Wha....what if they take you away from me? What if your guilty? What if I never see you again?!" At this Spike was now crying loudly, and the Mane-iac pulled him in for a very loving and tenderly hug.

"Sh.....sh, sh, sh, sh... It's okay. Don't cry." The Mane-iac cooed in his ear. "That will never happen. They will never take me away from you. I will always be there for you."

Spike stopped his loud crying and looked up to the villains face. "R...really?"

"Of course, sweetie." said the Mane-iac. "Nothing will ever change that."

"I'm just so worried." said Spike.

"Please don't, Spikey-Whikey." said the Mane-iac. "Everything will be okay. I'm pretty sure that the jury will understand, and I promise you that I won't be guilty." she said Tenderly.

"Are you sure?" said Spike

"Of course." she lied. The Mane-iac wasn't sure about the trial either, but she just kept on smiling for Spike, and really hoped that she is not guilty by the jury. "I promise." she lied again "Everything will be okay."

"Alright, alright." said Spike who let the last tear run down his cheek. "I believe you."

"Good." said the Mane-iac

"How about our little kiss?" he asked.

"Of course." said the Mane-iac. Just like that, she pulled him in for their lips to lock. It was the longest kiss they had ever did in a while, and kept their lips locked. The kiss lasted for thirty seconds, and they finally let their lips go from each other.

"Do you feel better now, Spike?" asked the Mane-iac tenderly

"Very." said Spike

"I'm glad."

"We should probably get home, and..." Spike then gave out a yawn. "I am so tired." just like that he collapsed and fell asleep.

"Awww. So cute" said the Mane-iac she got up, put Spike on her back, and made it back to Fluttershy's cottage

Back at the Cottage

The Mane-iac tucked Spike in the extra bed downstairs, and kissed him on the forehead. "Sleep well.." she whispered in his ear. She then got into the bed as well, and fell asleep a few minutes later.
