Spike and the Opposite Six

It was an early morning as Spike trained with the Captain of the Royal Guard!

"Come-on Spike, hit harder! How do you expect to kill...yourself if you don't take this seriously?" asked the unicorn while Spike was hitting against his armor which was reinforced with some magic. "I told you to come at me like you want me dead!"

'Better yet, kill him! Mother can always bring him back!' Said Other Spike.

'Would you fuck off, I'm not gonna kill Shining Armor!'

"Hit me with all your might young prince!"

Spike reared his claw back and scratched at the armor while trying to use all the strength he had in himself.

"Improvement! You finally dented my armor!"

"Sweet!" But then Spike felt a shield flatten his entire face!

"But it's not good enough!" Said Shining Armor.

Spike groaned as he struggled to get back up, only to get rammed by Shining Armor and slamming into a wall!

"Come on! You wanna be prince? Then you gotta dig deep and show me you got what it takes! Leading this land isn't some game!" He explained. "Come at me with an iron fist! It's okay!"

Spike huffed and took a deep breath before backing up and charged at the captain.

He thrusted a spear, but Spike dodged to the left and threw a hard punch! It hit Shining on the cheek before Spike jumped up onto his head and started biting on his skin.

"Aaaah!" He screamed in pain while he was bleeding from his head.

Spike realized what he was doing and stopped...only to be thrown onto the ground and stomped hard, 5 times! Spike's body twitched in pain.

"Don't be so compassionate in a fight to the death, don't forget your mom can revive me." He explained before leaving. "We'll pick up tomorrow, during our next round, you gotta be ready to kill me."

"Ugh...right."

'Told yah mother could revive him.'

'Oh shut up.' thought Spike with a pained groan.

'You were getting desperate with the biting. What are you now? A Diamond Dog?'

'Isn't that part of the expression "fighting tooth and nail" ?'

'Wow, you actually DID learn something, I'm so proud.'

'Yeah just shut up...'

'Not until you beat me.'

Spike frowned and slowly sat up with a wince. "I could go for a snack."

"Good choice, drown your humiliation in ice cream."

"Wah!" Spike fell and tripped. "Lightning Dust?"

"Hey Spike, saw your fight with Shining Armor...you kinda sucked."

"Gee, thanks. I feel so much better." he deadpanned with her snickering.

"Aw come-on, I'm just palling around with yah, how's about I get you a drink?"

"Sure."

'Whoa, not even bothering with the romantic junk, just get to drinking then straight to fucking.'

"Oh shut up! I'm not in the mood!"

"Huh?"

"Oh, I think Shining Armor hit me too hard, I'm now hearing the voices of stupid people in my head." he spoke up quickly with embarrassment while she raised an eyebrow.

"You should get that checked out, after we're done."

"Yeah, I'll get to it when I'm not so busy." he replied before the two walked out.

The bar they went to had someone singing poorly at karaoke, a guy getting slapped after asking a girl out, a guy passed out on a table, and a blood stain smeared all over a wall.

"Wow, this place is kinda..."

"Awesome." grinned Lightning.

"Not the word I'd use but okay." he remarked as they walked over to the bar counter and sat down with a unicorn wearing an eye patch walking out.

"What'll you have Lightning? And...Prince Spike?"

"It's cool, he's with me."

"Are you sure? He's a kid."

"And I've been hearing him and some of my friends fooled around." she smiled making Spike blush and the unicorn blink.

"Wow...you have my respect young prince, I'll get the usual." As he went to get the drinks...

"H-how did you know about that?"

"You guys haven't really been silent, like at all."

Spike blushed.

"You know very much that I love you, we don't need some romantic bullshit, we can get to it right now."

Meanwhile...

"Sounds like it's gonna be a short chapter." Said Pinkie Pie. "Do you see them now, other me?"

"I think I'm starting to get it."

Back to Spike and Lightning Dust.

"But what about me do you love?" Said Spike.

"Well, it's a long story."

"I got all day before night training."

"Well, it's not so much you, but the other Spike, and it began when I went on to be a shadowbolt."

*Flashback*

Lightning was reading a letter that told her 'you can do it'.

"Love Spike, P. S. Enjoy the cookies I baked for you."

"Wow, still a kid and he can manage to bake, I'm impressed." She then ate a cookie. "Mmmh, he even baked a peanut butter center in them."

After a day of hard training, Lightning gets home, but is way too tired to clean her home or cook dinner for herself.

"Ugh, my wings feel like they're ready to fall off." She fell head first into her recliner. "Don't even have the motivation to cook dinner."

"Then let me do it." Said a voice from her front door. "Hey Lightning Dust, saw that you forgot to lock your door."

She raised her head and turned before blinking. "Spike?"

"That's me."

"How are you standing on my cloud home?"

"I asked Sunset to cast a spell on me." he smiled walking in. "She was scared I'd fall through, but she tends to overblow everything."

"Okay, so...you're here to make me dinner." she trailed off. "Eh, sure, if you can bake cookies I'd like to taste what real food you can make."

"And with that kind of positive attitude, I'm gonna make you a home made triple decker hayburger." he smirked before putting an apron on making Lightning chuckle to herself.

Her mouth watered as Spike cooked the hayburger.

"Easy there or you'll flood your own house."

"I can't help it." she wiped her mouth while seeing it sizzle in the pan.

After getting the 3 patties cooked, he then put them along with lettuce, tomato, onions, spicy mustard, grated cheese and some potato chips in between 2 toasted buns.

"Hope you like it."

She licked her lips before biting right into the first one with a hum. "Oh my Solar Flare these are amazing."

"See? I'm younger than you and I can still cook." he teased.

"If you were my husband, I'd have you cooking everyday." she chuckled while he smirked.

"Wow, if I knew a good meal was all it took I'd have made desert too." he joked making her laugh.

"Hey, I'm a hardworking mare who can't lift a hoof to clean her home or cook for herself."

"Ah, thanks for reminding me to clean up this place." Said Spike before walking to the closet to get a broom.

"Wait, you serious or just teasing me?"

"I'm being serious, I've cleaned up a lot of Sunset's messes, but now that you're a Shadowbolt, you obviously don't have time." he replied using a broom to start sweeping. "Good gosh how'd I get a 2 foot tall dust bunny? I only did one sweep."

Lightning shrugged with a blush.

"Man, and I thought the castle was dusty."

Lightning just watched as Spike cleaned up. 'If I wasn't so tired, I'm pretty sure I'd be doing him.'

Then the scene shifted to show Lightning over at the academy doing drills.

"Speed is key, but precise movements are also key!" she muttered avoiding the hoops with a grin.

"Come on Lightning, show some hustle!" barked the head honcho.

"You got it sir!" She was sweating, and getting tired.

"Hey! You're slowing down! Come-on, don't you wanna do the Sonic Rainboom? Which still doesn't exist!"

She was close to tiring out until...

"You can do it Lightning! I know you can!" called Spike on the side lines making her blink and the drill instructor jump.

"Whoa! Who are you?"

"Lightning!"

"Oh, you're just gonna ignore me? Fine!"

"You've made it this far, you can't quit now!" he called out. "You wanna be super badass? Then prove it!"

This encouragement gave Lightning a second wind as she tripled her speed, and it's with that boost that she unleashed a powerful explosion!

The sergeant and Spike reeled back with the clouds shaking.

"Son of a gun, the Sonic Rainboom is real."

"Aw yeah! I rule!" And when she landed, Spike jumped and hugged her.

After months of training, it was finally time for an air show.

She was currently taking deep breaths while stretching her wings out.

"Hey Lightning." Spike greeted.

"Spike! Thank goodness you're here! I'm pretty confident I can do this, but nobody wished me luck yet."

"You're gonna do great. Break a leg out there."

"I'm more worried about breaking a wing."

"Hah, there's no way, all the seats, the booth and the floor are all made of clouds."

"Doesn't mean it won't hurt my pride."

"Just try to believe in yourself. The rest of your friends are in the booth, ready to cheer you on.

"Thanks, when I ace this, I'm gonna want some more of those hayburgers again."

"I'll put in a side of curly fries, so you better kill it in today's show."

"Okay Shadowbolts, you're live in 10 minutes!" called the pegasi in charge.

"You can do this." Spike said before running to the booth.

She cracked her neck while spreading her wings with the other pegasi. As she and the other Shadowbolts got onto the stage, Spike and the others cheered for her like crazy.

"The great and powerful Trixie says you can do it!"

"Shine like the sun!" Cheered Sunset.

"You look great in that outfit!" called Fleur.

"Now birds and bugs, give me and L, gimme an I, gimme a G-H-T-N-I-N-G, D-U-S-T!" Gilda commanded.

"Show them your stuff!" called Cherry.

"Give it 1000 percent!" Spike called out.

Lightning felt the encouragement of her friends and killed it in the air show.

The crowd cheered with her soaking it all up. But the positive energy she felt the most, was coming from her friends.

"You did it Lightning!"

After the show, Lightning Dust got dog piled by her friends.

"Ok ok ok! Thanks guys."

They all got off her.

"Sorry, Spike told us to." Said Sunset.

"I figured she wanted a hug." he chuckled making Lightning shake her head.

"I'll get you for that." She then tackled Spike with a hug. "And for being such a cool guy during my training..." She then puckered her lips, the others saw and pulled her away.

"Woah there! That's getting a bit ahead." chuckled Sunset with a blush.

"But he deserves it."

"Oooh, does someone have a crush?" teased Fleur making Lightning blush.

"I'm pretty sure we all do." Replied Lightning Dust.

The rest blushed and looked away.

*flashback over.*

"Hahaha, oh he was such a cool guy."

'See that? I'm so smooth. When I win, I'm gonna make sure I give Lightning every sex position possible.'

Spike blushed just as the bartender came back with the bottle.

"Alright, time to party!" Lightning took it, took the cork off, and started taking a shot. "Your turn."

He grabbed it and carefully took a sip.

'What was that weak ass sip? With shot glasses, you sip 'em down fast!' Said Other Spike.

"What was that weak ass sip? With shot glasses, you sip 'em down fast!" Said Lightning Dust.

"Yeesh." he rolled his eyes before taking a longer sip.

"That's the spirit, now let's get nuts." she chuckled taking it and began chugging it while Spike winced at the burning taste.

"Now that I'm really drinking this stuff, how do you guys like this? It tastes awful and smells awful."

'Woooo! Take it off!' called Other Spike.

"Yeah, but it makes yah feel good!" She said before hiccuping. "Come on, chug it!"

"O...kay..." He chugged it down and then got as drunk as Lightning Dust. "Oooh....the room looks so funny..."

"Hey, come with me and I'll show you a much better room." she got up with Spike doing the same and lead him using one of her wings. "There, the door that says Exit." She pointed.

"That room has a dumb name." he chuckled before they walked through it with the bartender shaking his head.

They went through the door, finding themselves in a back alley.

"Why are we outside? I thought we were gonna be in some room." Said Spike.

"Stupid lying door!" Then Lightning kicked the door. "Hey Spike, come here."

"Yeah, what do yah want?"

"Ever had sex in public?"

"No."

"Then come here!" She slammed her lips onto Spike's before throwing him behind a dumpster.

'Wooooh! Ride that pony!' Cheered Other Spike before both fell asleep.
