The sun princess raises the bright yellow sun in the sky, allowing it to shine through every household window in Equestria. A purple dragon was sleeping peacefully in bed before the sun shined through the crystal window in his room, rudely waking him up. Spike turned away from the window so the bright light from the sun wouldn't shine on his face. A few groans went off in his head. He could hear some voices saying 'Good morning' or just groaning like him in response. He tried to tune out their voices as he went back to sleep.

"Spiky, time to get up," Twilight said, yawning a bit.

"Just a little longer," he replied, trying to go back to sleep.

"I agree with Spiky. Can we just rest a little longer?" Dash pleaded, sounding as sleepy as Spike.

"No, we can't. We need to get ready for breakfast with my brother and the princesses," she said, making Spike and Dash groan in response.

"UUGGHHH!!! Fine! I'm getting up," Spike groaned, getting up groggily from his bed. He was halfway to the doors when Rarity stopped him.

"Spiky, you really should wash yourself before leaving the room." she said.

"But I can do that later." Spike repiled to her.

"Now Spiky, you need to clean off the blood that got on you from last night." Applejack chimed in. Spike's eyes flung wide open in shock—removing any lingering traces of sleepiness from his body—before he ran to his dresser's mirror and gave himself a once over. He noticed that there were some blood stains on his face and chest, throwing him into a small panic. But as he went over the events of the previous night in his head, he began to settle down once more. He realized that it wasn't his blood he was wearing, but that of the thugs who attacked him last night.

"Guess I should take a shower then," he said, heading towards the bathroom.

When he entered and began to take off his pants, he heard a sharp gasp.

"Spiky! You shouldn't undress in the presence of a lady!" Rarity scolded.

"Uh...Rarity? You're in my head, remember?" he replied. If Rarity wasn't in his head, he would have seen her blushing.

"Y-You...j-just don't go looking down when taking them off, because it is not a good habit." she said flustered. It sounded to Spike like she had forgotten about being stuck in his head and didn't want to admit it.

Spike rolled his eyes before turning on the shower. Hot steam began to fill the room as Spike washed off the blood and bits of flesh that had stuck to his scales. He washed himself a few times more to make sure he washed away the lingering smell of blood. Meanwhile, the Dark 6 were having a private conversation in Spike's subconscious so that he wouldn't hear.

"Sooo, ah....Spiky seems pretty ripped." Dash said, trying very hard to not sound awkward.

"Well of course he's gettin' pretty buff. He's been helpin' me and Mac on the farm for the past few months," AJ said.

"Well, it's weird seeing Spiky like this. I mean, sure he's not as buff as Big Mac, but he's still pretty good looking." Dash said, but regretted it the moment the words came out.

"OH! So you think his good looking, huh?" Pinkie asked innocently, making Dash fall silent in embarrassment.

"Pinkie, I think that enough with teasing." Rarity replied.

"Oh girls..." Fluttershy said, though she spoke so softly that the girls didn't hear her.

"I think we should be more worried about how the princesses and everypony else are going to react to our current state," Twilight said, gaining the girls' attention.

"Twilight? I'm pretty sure no pony is going to believe that Spiky has six ponies in his body, or that those same six became demonic serpent heads that come out of his back and killed four thugs."

"Maybe if we can show them, then they might believe us, or rather him. Then the princesses will definitely find a way to help us," Twilight replied positively, trying to bring their hopes up.

"And then what? If ah remember right, there were six thugs last night. We done killed four of 'em, but two of them critters escaped. What if they come back lookin' for some payback? What if they bring friends? They won't be lookin' for six grown mares, they'll be lookin' for our favorite dragon. Now, don't get me wrong! Ah hope we do find a way to fix this here mess and get our bodies back, ah really do! But then, Spikey will be all on his own again. Then how are we supposed ta fix the problem we got him in?" AJ inquired.

"She's right. How are we going to protect Spiky if we're not there with him, using the shadows to our advantage?" Fluttershy asked worriedly.

Silence fell amongst the Dark 6 as they all thought about their latest problem. They all wanted to return to their original bodies, but they also didn't want to leave

Spike defenseless if those thugs from last night came back for revenge. They all thought hard for a way to help him for when the time comes that they reverse the spell, but for now all they could do was wait. By this time, Spike had finished his shower, dried himself off, brushed his fangs, gotten dressed in some fresh clothes, and left his room. He had almost reached the dining room, but he stopped right outside the entrance.

"Why did ya stop, Spiky?"

"What will I do when they ask where you girls are?" he asked them.

"Make something up."

Spike sighed in regret for what was going to happen next. Spike didn't notice the guards standing by the doors, staring at him like Spike was crazy or something.

'Oh god! I was talking out loud,' Spike thought to himself.

"Well duh! Didn't you hear yourself when you were talking to us." Pinkie said, making Spike groan.

'Great. You all can hear my thoughts,' Spike mentally responded.

The girls didn't respond to that, possibly out of guilt or sympathy. Spike sighed again before entering the dining room. He was soon greeted by his mom, aunt, older brother, sister-in-law/cousin, and his other cousin. Spike sat down next to his mom before speaking.

"So, anyone of you having a good morning?" Spike asked them. Blueblood simple shrugged, Shining Armor and Cadence looked at each other before saying "A lovely night.", His mom and Luna just looked at each other with a determined stare. Spike didn't want to know what was up with those two, but was happy to see that no one asked about the girls.

"Spike, where's Twily and her friends?" Shining asked.

...until now. Spike now had to think of something.

"They...ah...went to...the...ah... spa," Spike replied, trying to sound confident. But he only received confused stares in response.

"Isn't it closed today?" Cadence asked. Spike started sweating profusely as his mind raced for an answer.

"The spa in Ponyville. They'll be back in a few hours," Spike said, hoping it would stop any further questions on the subject.

"O-okay." Cadence said oddly.

"How was thy night, Spike?" Luna questioned.

Spike thought briefly of last night's events. He couldn't tell them what had happened, at least not yet. So he decided to at least be partially honest.

"It was fine. I was just reading."

"Oh? What kind of book was it?" his mom asked curiously.

Spike knew that he couldn't tell them that either, especially not his mom. Princess Celestia was almost as bad as Twilight when it came to taking care of Spike. The difference between her and Twilight was that she was far more lenient, thought their was a limit to how far that leniency extended. For instance, Celestia didn't mind if her son watched horror movies, only as long as there was no rape scenes in it. He had a feeling that she would be less than pleased with his choice of literature.

"Daring Doo," he lied.

"Good choice," she said approvingly.

Luna was drinking her hot tea while reading the newspaper. After reading the sports page, she went to the front page, but once she saw the headlines she spat out her tea in shock. Celestia, whom ended up being the unwilling victim to her sister's spit take, looked at Luna with a bemused expression as she started wiping her face with a napkin. Spike heard a few giggles, from both in his head and around the table, but ignored them.

"Something wrong, Luna?" Spike asked her, though he had a sneaking suspicion he knew what the problem was.

"Doesn't thou not know of the night horror?" she asked, confusing him.

"Well, that's my cue to leave. See ya weirdos, later." And with that said, Blueblood quickly made his exit.

'Why is he in such a hurry?' Spike thought to himself.

Once he left, Celestia looked over Luna's shoulder at the newspaper's front page. She read it aloud and was lightly shocked.

"Four thugs killed by....demon? Witnesses identified killer as a dragon with six demonic snake heads coming out of his back. He is considered to be very dangerous and highly aggressive. Will the princesses be able to handle this new threat? Or will the Elements be called upon to save the city from yet another monster?" she read aloud. Spike began to tremble slightly, scared that they might suspect him as the dragon in the paper.

"So what are we going to do about this, Princess Celestia?" Shining asked.

"When Twilight and her friends return from their spa trip, we will come up with a plan to deal with this...dragon demon. Until then, we must wait." she calmly replied.

The group continued their breakfast with a bit more idle conversation, when a flash of light appeared out of nowhere. When the light dissipated, a new arrival had joined them at their table. Said arrival was a familiar serpentine figure made up of mismatched body parts from several species.

"DISCORD!!!!" They all cried, even the Dark six, who was in a little pain from the bright light caused by the draconequus' flashy entrance.

"Hello ladies and worms, how are you all doing?" he said, smiling happily.

"Just fine before you showed up," Spike said darkly. Discord looked at Spike with a fake look of shock.

"Why so mad? I only came to ask a friend to join me for a morning stroll. Where is dear Fluttershy, anyway?" he asked, looking around.

"She's with the others at the spa in Ponyville," Cadence replied. Discord began to tap his chin with his eagle claw before coming up with an idea.

"I'll just meet her there. Good day to you all!" he said, before disappearing with a snap of his claws.

"Well, that was very odd." Shining said.

After they finished breakfast, Spike went back to his room and got some bits he had stashed away. He left the castle and headed out into town to enjoy the rest of his day.

"So, we're going to get to see what our favorite purple dragon does when he's not helping us." Pinkie said happily.

Spike sighed. This was going to be a weird and long adventure for him.
