Spike lays in his bed with his five mates as they prepare for bed. He blushes lightly as Chrysalis wears see through lime green pajama's and lays between his legs, her firm huge breasts press down upon his crotch, not that he minds, and she lays her head onto his stomach looking up at him, her arms snaked around his hips and grab hold of his new tail. He blushes heavily as he had decided to give himself his wings back along with his original tail, only it was more dragon than Murcielago.

He looks at all of his mates and smiles lightly.

"Are you five comfortable?" He asks softly.

"I'm just fine~" Chrysalis purrs out. It had been proven after she had claimed him, that she claimed the others making them hers, and hers alone. It turns out that Queen Changelings are one of the most dominant beings on the planet, aside from Draconquui and Dominant Dragons, and she became the leader of their little "group".

"We know you are!" Dash, Gilda, Luna and Nightmare growl out before going quite as Chrysalis gives them a hard look. "Sorry..." They mumble out all at once.

"Good girls." She says with a wide toothy grin, her fangs glint softly. Looking back up at him she flashes him a loving smile that causes his heart to heat up. "And I hope you are comfortable, our love." She says softly. He nods his head lightly with a small blush and smile.

"I am. I'm glad your all here with me." He says. Sleep begins to creep into his mind and he lets his head roll back against the pillow. Chrysalis smiles softly as her discreet "Sleep Spell" works, before she drifts off to sleep after the others join him. A wide smile gracing her lips as she feels their love for her, and oddly enough her children, growing stronger and stronger while her own love for them becomes a forest fire of passion.

He wakes up with a soft yawn, but soon grows curious as the only mate with him is Chrysalis. He opens his eyes and he see's her staring up at him lovingly. He raises a brow.

"Where are the others?" He asks.

"They left a few hours ago to go do something. They asked me to keep you company and keep keep you preoccupied, not that I would be able to leave your side anyways. So I'm obviously not complaining." She says cheerfully. He smiles lovingly down at her.

"Well, thank you." He says.

"Oh I haven't even given you your present yet~" She purrs. She crawls up his body and captures his lips in a deep, fiery passionate kiss that sends a strange warmth into his whole body, and he grows to long for it. She parts from him and he whimpers softly from her lips departure. "Now, now~ No whimpering~ You'll have me for eternity you know~" She purrs out and nips his neck gently. He groans lightly as her right hand plays with his bulge.

"Looks like someone is happy~" She says huskily.

"How can I not when I have a beautiful woman on my~?" He growls out in a strange purr making her shiver happily.

"Mm, I like this side of you~! You should keep it~" She says with a sultry smile. He growls lowly as his red slowly devours the green of his eyes. She feels a strange sense of excitement rush through her veins as he pins her to her back and grows in her face, his eyes becoming crimson like blood and his nails turning into crimson claws. His hair wisp's like flames as horns slowly form on either side of his head.

'This isn't Emerald Changeling magic...this is something else, but what?' She wonders as they make out hungrily for each other. She feels his hands move along her waist and hips before sliding up her toned flat belly and cup her large breasts and massage them sensually sending jolts of pleasure through her body. 'Oooh great merciful Faust this is heaven~!' She inwardly moans as her tongue lashes at her dominantly

He cups her breasts gently and rubs them slightly, enjoying their smoothness and how soft they are. He inwardly roars with excitement as his thoughts rush around at a thousand miles per second. He parts from her and stares down at his now panting heavily mate. Her chest rises and falls quickly as she gasps for breath. He moves his face down and gently nips at her neck with his new fangs and looks into her beautiful lime green eyes.

She feels her mind slowly return to her as she looks into his eyes as they shine and he glows in dominance. She shivers in pleasure when he flicks his tongue against the side of her ear, even when he growls lowly in her ear. She can hear and feel his lust for her growing for him more and more, just like her lust for him doing the same. He moves in closer to her before the crimson turns into pitch black and his black slit pupils turn holy white as they thin even more and his skin seems to gain a scale like texture to it.

She stares wide eyed up at her mate as his skin becomes obsidian black while his wings, tail and horns become dark purple. 'Obsidian!!' Her mind screams as he stares down at her hungrily, his bluish tongue slides out from his mouth and slides up her collar bone making her whimper softly. 'I can't believe it! I'm with an Obsidian!! This is amazing!!' She thinks to herself as his lust and love for her seeps into her and her entire hive along with her Hollows as she begins to feel new power coursing through her veins and his Submissiveness dwindling.

He captures her lips hungrily once again as he gropes her right breast and slides his other hand down into her see through lime green panties and toys with her clit. "Mine." He growls out lowly making her nod her head in agreement.

"That's right my king~ I'm all yours~" She purrs out as she grips his bulge tightly.

"Good." He says darkly as his hair obscures his eyes which had turned purple and his white slits glow eerily. She gasps in pleasure as his fingers dive deep into her womanhood making her moan loud enough for those outside of the room and all along their chamber halls to hear. Unknown to them, Nightmare was just about to enter the room when she heard the moan and the deep growling voice.

She bursts through the door, before freezing and staring at her mates. "Spike...?" She asks. He glances at her and licks his fingers which are coated with Chrysalis's juices.

"Yes?" He says evenly with a deep, powerful voice that just commands her to pounce him and ride him for the rest of the day. "What is wrong, my lovely Nightmare?" He asks.

"What happened to you...?" She gasps out as a black and purple tendril of energy flows from his back where his wings once were and caresses her cheek gently.

"I am not sure. But I like it~!" He growls out as a strange looking gem rests in his chest where his hollow hole is. She stares wide eyed at him before narrowing her eyes.

"That power from before. When you were changing while you were rutting me and Luna, I think it's starting to show itself." She says.

"He's an Obsidian~!" Chrysalis purrs out excitedly making Nightmare freeze and stare with hungry eyes at her mate.

"There hasn't been one of them since Tartarus became empty~!" She says seductively.

"Then he's the last one~!" Chrysalis says excitedly as she moans loudly as his tongue strikes her "sweet spot" repeatedly. She screams in pleasure as she reaches orgasm and he slurps up her juices. "I fucking love him~" She pants out dazedly. Nightmare nods her head firmly.

"We all do!" She says happily.

"And I love all of you..." He says as he looks like his old self before the transformation and sways from side to side in a daze. His mind in a haze as he feels something roaring just beneath the surface. "Ugh...my head is pounding..." He whimpers out. Chrysalis pulls him in close as she feels his Submissive side take over once again. She holds him close to herself and kisses him deeply.

"Let me take the pain away. And if you ever want to do that again, just do it~" She purrs. He blushes heavily.

"O-Okay, love." He tells her. She rubs his bare chest and literally purrs as she eyes his muscles and lean form.

"You are mine, and I am yours. Just as we all are yours and you are ours, My King." She says lovingly. He smiles happily up at her.

"I love you." He says.

"I love you too." She tells him softly before moving off of the bed and her pajamas shift into a tight belly dancer outfit as she folds her arms under her breasts. "And if you feel the need to touch, or fuck, just tell me and I'll make sure your taken care of~" She purrs out with a wink. He blushes heavily but nods all the same.

"Okay." He says. He looks around for some clothing, but then Nightmare holds out a strange looking costume.

"I had this made for you, babe." She says lovingly, her eyes filled with mirth. He blushes and thanks her softly before slipping his pants and boxers off and slips into the costume. He stands in front of a mirror and looks himself over. He wears a tight "ninja outfit" and he raises a brow to his mates.

"Er....not that I'm not grateful, but why so tight? And why the leather?" He asks softly.

"Because it makes you look h~o~t! Hot!" Nightmare says with a wink before strutting over to him and capturing his lips softly making him shudder as a pleasurable sensation moves through him. She moves from him and rubs his chin gently. "You know you look good in leather~" She purrs out before nipping his bottom lip gently.

He blushes lightly and says softly, "Thank you...you all look good all the time..." His blush spreads as she giggles and rubs his hips lightly before his costume shifts and changes into a pair of swim-trunks that go down past his knees while his arms gain strange looking rings around them. He blinks in surprise before giving a light shrug and crosses his arms over his chest and gives them a raised brow.

Moving across the room towards the door his wings fold up and connect like a cape or cloak while his tail swishes around lightly. He looks over his shoulder and asks, "Are you two coming?"

"Damn right we are!" Nightmare yells out with a wide grin while Chrysalis nods her head with a gentle smile. The two wrap an arm around his hips and they appear in the throne room in a flash of light. He rubs his eyes gently to get rid of the odd spots clouding his vision.

'Still can't get used to that kind of shit...' He thinks before a pair of arms wrap around his neck from behind. Looking up he see's Chrysalis looking down at him lovingly. She bows her head and plants a gentle kiss on his lips and a heat forms in his chest. Her hands move across his bare chest and the kiss is deepened with passion making his chest heat up more. She pulls her lips from his and he pants heavily with lidded eyes as his cheeks are covered with a wide blush.

She winks down at him before looking up to Celestia who flashes a kind smile. "Thank you for bringing him here." She says softly. Chrysalis nods her head.

"I was planning on giving him a present this morning, but he ended up giving me one instead." She says with a light blushes tinting her caramel cheeks. He rubs the back of his neck and shits his feet around as he looks at the ground.

"What exactly happened?" She asks.

"He became a dominant. Let alone the fact that he is an Obsidian." Nightmare says with a straight look on her face. Celestia stares wide eyed.

"An Obsidian? But they have been missing for thousands of years." She gasps out.

"I am the one who felt him. He even gained the Obsidian scales and the like. I think he can control it slightly though." Chrysalis with a blush and looks up at the ceiling as it became the most interesting thing in the room to her for some reason.

"I see. Can you please tap into this...power, Spike?" Celestia asks.

"I...I can try." He says with an unsure tone and closes his eyes. He feels himself being pulled by some strange force as something stirs from it's "slumber". He see's a large black dragon standing tall. It's eyes changing and looks at him. It's eyes narrow and a roar rips across his minds cape as he feels that strange power surge through his veins.

His eyes snap open and he enters his "awakened state" making the castle shake slightly before calming down. He pants heavily as he feels his energy leaving him and her returns to his "base form".

"I...I tried..." He pants out as he leans against Chrysalis for support. She holds him tightly and nods her head gently.

"You did. But what did you see?" She asks.

"I giant dragon...It made mountains look short." He says after regaining control over his breathing. Looking up at Celestia he see's her looking down at him proudly as if he had done something amazing.

"It would seem that you are indeed an Obsidian. I wonder what Kurosaki is?" She asks.

"I was a red dragon hollow." Ichigo says with his arm around a flustered Orihime. Her hair is frizzy as if it had been rubbing against something for hours while a large goofy smile stands gracing her soft lips.

'Looks like she got lucky.' Spike thinks before looking to Celestia who nods her head.

"I see. A red dragon you say? Odd. What color of red?" She asks.

"C-Crimson~" Orihime stutters out happily as she clings to her mate tightly.

"I see. So a Crimson Dragon, or better known as a "Ruby Dragon". They are just as fierce as Obsidian's, but lack the power to back it up. But even so, they are powerful non the less." She says with a firm nod of her head. Ichigo raises a brow.

"What kind of things can Ruby Dragons do?" He asks.

"I am not sure. Though I would assume they are similar to Obsidian Dragons and how they have more than a single form of power. If I can remember correctly, Dragons have a "Larva Form", then comes the "Awakened Form". After that, I am not sure. From what I can see you are in your "Larva Form" while Spike has just reached a stage in the "Awakened Form". Similar to Resurreccion from what I could tell, but without needing a Zanpakuto. But perhaps that could be of use?" She asks.

"It could be, but I hold no knowledge on my own "kind" as I had been kept away from the libraries where I knew the books were. Twilight had read them, but for some reason banned me from learning about my own kind." He says while looking at his feet.

"I see. Well, unfortunately those books are no longer around, as a fire had broken out and destroyed all the books and tomes in there. It was a major loss to the history of Equestria, but there is nothing I can do to change that." She sighs out. A letter forms before her in a flash of purple light. "Oh, it seems Twilight has found something out about friendship. Hm? It appears that Luna is having a slight problem. Spike, could you, Nightmare and Chrysalis go down to Ponyville and help her out?" She asks.

"Sure." He says before the three of them appear in Ponyville town square. Looking down he see's a large red "X" and grows confused. 'Why is there a...' His thoughts are cut off as many ponies jump out from behind various objects and yell out "SURPRISE!!". He jumps slightly and his wings fan out sending large gusts of wind knocking them all over. He gains a sheepish expression and mumbles out a, "Sorry...".

"Don' be. We scared ya'll, it's fine." Applejack says as she dusts herself off.

"Yeah, not like they listened to your mates about what not to do." Gilda hisses out while rolling her eyes. Dash brushes the dust off of her clothing which looked to be a dark version of the wonderbolts costume.

"Shadow Bolt? I thought you preferred the Wonderbolts?" Nightmare asks.

"Fuck that. Besides, the "Shadowbolts" are yours, why wouldn't I want to be with one of my lovely mates~?" She purrs out. Nightmare flashes her a fanged grin.

"You most certainly know how to charm a mare into your bed~" She slurs as the two kiss gently. Spike notes that many of the stallions in the large crowd lick their lips and give out whistles or cat calls, a few of them even sent out wolf howls. He growls lowly and black lightning flashes around him for a split second before Chrysalis wraps an arm around his hips calmly him down by her touch.

"Thanks.." He whispers.

"No problem at all, my King." She says loud enough for him, his mates and the elements to hear. She kisses him gently before parting from him and pressing her forehead to his. "You have nothing to worry about, we would never leave you." She says. "Well, I won't. I am to remain by your side for however long you live." She tells him.

"But Hollows aren't living creatures...." He mutters out.

"They are here. In fact many of my Changelings have bred with our Hollows to make half-breeds that hold the best of "both worlds" as it were. So don't worry. You're alive and healthy." She tells him softly as she kisses his neck gently.

"Th-Thanks..." He says softly.

"No problem love." She says with a soft wink.

Gilda, Dash and Luna walk up to him and smile lightly. "What do yah think?" Gilda asks with a grin.

"It's...I don't really know what this is." He says dumbly.

"You ain't had a party before?" She asks.

"No, I only ever received a book from Twilight." As he said this, Twilight moves towards him with a book, before giving a sheepish smile and backing away into the crowd.

"Hm. Makes sense seeing she's an egghead." Dash says rolling her eyes.

"She is my sister you know..." He mutters out.

"And she'll be my sister in law some day, so I have free game." She says.

"I...Right." He says face palming lightly and shaking his head gently. "I had forgotten we're engaged." He says.

"We are?" Chrysalis asks. He laughs nervously.

"I had said yes about marrying all of my mates, old and new, so in a way, your quite literally stuck with me. Surprise...?" He says sheepishly. Chrysalis purrs and pulls him close to herself.

"I'm fine with that~" She purrs out as she kisses him lovingly. He kisses her back lovingly before a pink blur slams into his chest making him cough.

"Did'ja like it!? Did'ja!?" Pinkie screams out excitedly.

"I uh...yeah. I like it. Can you please get off me...we're in a lewd position..." He says softly. Dash barks in laughter.

"That's too funny! The virgin is...straddling our..." She stops laughing and begins to growl. "You have five seconds before I kick your ass!!" She roars, her eyes become red and black. Pinkie pouts.

"But it's so compfy!" She whines.

"Move it or we kill you, Pony." Gilda hisses out angrily as Teresa forms in her hand. "Three seconds left." Pinkie huffs and gets off of him and folds her arms under her bust.

"Crazy women..." She mutters out before getting a wide grin and she turns to Nightmare. "Wanna sing a song~?" She asks.

"Depends. Is it a stupid thing that has to do with "friendship"?" Nightmare asks.

"No, not really. I was thinking more along the lines of..." She whispers the rest into Nightmare's ear. She gains a huge toothy grin and she whispers to Chrysalis, Dash, Gilda and Luna. The four of them grin at him as the five of them gain strange gleams in their eyes.

"Yes?" He asks.

"You go enjoy the show with the others, Chryssie and I have something to do~" Nightmare purrs before the two vanish along with Pinkie Pie in a burst of lime green.

"Okay??" He says n confusion. Looking over at his mates he notes that they are sitting at the top of bleachers that appeared thanks to Luna. He sits with them as Pinkie walks onto the stage before them while the ponies get into their "seats".

"Welcome everypony! Would any of you like to here some music!?" She screams into the microphone making the ponies cheer. He begins to wonder just what the hell is happening and where all of this had come from, along with how the sun had set so soon. He looks at the clock tower and grows surprised to see that it is 7:54 p.m. in the evening.

'How did I miss that?' He wonders.

"Then welcome your lovely Queen of the Night and the oh so beautiful Queen of the Changelings!" She yells into the mic and the two walk onto the stage wearing their respective countries clothing as well as looking like their original forms. Nightmare's dress looks slightly victorian with an Equestrian flare to it as well. Chrysalis wears a kimono that those Japanese humans used to wear with her hair styled in the eastern way as well.

Their clothing clings tightly to their amazing forms and he see's the stallions and a few mares stare drooling. He watches his two mates as they strut across the stage to the left and right sides of Pinkie Pie. The large crowd goes wild as the two stand their looking on at them with their slit eyes and smiling muzzles. Pinkie hands the mic to Nightmare and she thanks her before turning to look at her subjects.

"I thank you for the chorus of cheers on us and our looks. But I must say that you can all look, but not touch. Only one stallion, or should I say Drake, holds that right." She says cryptically making many in the crowd grow curious. "I would also like to thank you all for celebrating this night, it might not be what it was many years ago, but it is still wonderful to have a night dedicated to you." She giggles out.

The ponies cheer loudly making her flash a wide toothy grin. "Oh this is deffinately a most wonderful night indeed. I would like to say that Pinkie, Chrysalis and I are hosting a sort of musical to celebrate and so that many of you fillies and colts may enjoy your holiday of candy and other sweets." She says kindly making a certain little white earth pony colt with a brown mane and tail with dots on his body to light up with glee.

"Now, let us begin with the show!" She says while turning to the side and holding a hand out as two ponies step out onto the stage. One is blue wearing golden armor and the second looks to be wearing a red suite and shades. Spike notes that the blue stallion speaks about how they celebrate the night about how a "demon" who would eat the souls of the innocent. He rolls his eyes in annoyance and huffs.

"Always with calling us "demons"..." He mutters out loud enough for his mates and the elements to flash him a curious look. They all look forward as a piano starts playing in a strange and slightly haunting melody. A green pony rises from the crowd and sings a few lyric before a large hologram of Nightmare appears and roars out scaring the fillies and colts.

The pony in the red suite starts where the green pony wearing a green moth costume. The hologram shifts into that green pony singing about preparing for something. He grows curious when fog rolls in and lightning flashes. He grins slightly as he see's Nightmare's silhouette. Thunder booms and her eyes open. The red ponies shades flip off of his head in what he could assume is shock or surprise.

Nightmare grins widely and "roars" at them making them pass out from fright and the crowd to scream in terror, before roaring their applause for the show.

"My that was a lovely show, though I do believe that was the eighteenth thousandth time I had been called a hag. Oh well, please enjoy this next showing, it's from a different world all together. I believe it is called "This is Halloween"?" She asks as Ichigo and Orihime walk onto the stage.

"Yes it is. It was one of my favorite songs when I was little." Orihime says sweetly.

"Good, good. Well, on with the show~!" She yells out as Pinkie, Chrysalis and herself vanish from the stage. The stage darkens and shifts into a strange graveyard he had never seen before. The sound of the wind rolls past as a violin plays eerily.

"Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems. In a place that you've seen in your dreams. For the story you are about to be told, took place in the holiday worlds of old. Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't, then I say it's time you begun." Ichigo's voice rings out in the darkness of the stage.

The lights blast on and Arrancars dressed in various monster costumes float around singing about this is "Halloween" and gates open. Pumpkins slam down onto spikes of a fence with various toothy faces looking at the crowd. Arrancars dressed as witches fly around as many others dressed as monsters sing about a "Pumpkin King" and a scarecrow with a pumpkin head jumps off of it's perch and dances around breathing fire making the Arrancars "gasp" in surprise.

The ponies stare in awe as the pumpkin man jumps into a well and then rises from it. He smiles lightly seeing Ichigo standing on the water wearing a black suite with markings forming a large smile on his cheeks. At his side is Orihime who wears a tattered dress and painted blue. They stand before a yellow moon and share a kiss as the "monsters" sing and swing their arms through the air.

The stage returns to normal with all of the cast bowing as the ponies applause and stomp their hooves in approval. Nightmare reappears on the stage with a large toothy grin plastered onto her muzzle.

"Now THAT was a show! I have not heard of half of these monsters that I see before me, but they all look spectacular! And that fire breathing stunt! Wonderful homage to your dragon legacy there, Ichigo." She says.

"That was actually part of the performance. I wasn't really paying homage to anything." He says bashfully.

"Never the less, it was fantastic. And the kiss at the end, beautiful!" She praises before looking back to the crowd and bows politely exposing some cleavage. "It was wonderful to have you all watch the show, now please, enjoy the rest of your Nightmare Night!" She exclaims proudly and allows Pinkie to take over.

"Thank you everpony for tuning in and watching the show! Now we start NIGHTMARE NIGHT!!" She screams out before ripping her clothes off and has a...chicken costume on underneath them.

'What?' He wonders as he watches Pinkie Pie squawk like a chicken and run off after screaming at Nightmare about her eating foals or some such. Nightmare rolls her eyes.

"Please, I wouldn't dare eat foals. Adults are far more bitter, and I love my some dark chocolate~" She purrs out in the mic making many of the stallions to send out cat calls. He growls and rises to his feet before booming down onto the stage. He turns around and glares at the crowd.

"Keep making those damned calls and I'll gut you...." He says in monotone making said stallions to flee in fright as his clothing had turned into a "Vampony costume". He turns and is assaulted by Nightmare as she hungrily kisses him. Dash, Gilda and Luna all appear on the stage and snicker while Chrysalis smiles loving down at her mates. Nightmare parts from him and nips his bottom lip gently.

"Oh you are just a treat~!" She purrs out. He blushes heavily.

"How so?" He asks.

"Your the perfect blend of sweet and bitter. It's wonderful~" She purrs out as she bites into his neck and causes him to moan softly as she drinks from him, pleasure shoots through his body as he feels his fangs sharpen. His eyes begin to glow red and he bites his bottom lip as Nightmare pulls away. "Hungry~?" She asks with a purr.

"I...Yes..." He says ashamedly and looks at the ground. She tilts his head up and kisses him deeply.

"Don't be ashamed, love, your still quite young. This is your "new life" after all." She says with a soft giggle.

"I...right." He says with a blush. Chrysalis raises a brow.

"Why are your eyes red?" She asks.

"He is infected." Nightmare says with a wide fang filled grin.

"Infected with what?" She asks.

"Have you ever heard of Vamponies?" She asks as her eyes gain a gleam to them.

"Yes, I have actually. But...- No. You can't be serious!" She exclaims.

"Yep, I am the beginning of the stories. Now Spike here is one of them, however it was do to Luna's blood which also holds the same gene dripped into his mouth and he swallowed it. He is-" she is cut off by Ichigo.

"He's a Vampire? Now that makes far too much sense!" He laughs out. Spike growls and bares his fangs at him. "Easy there, or I'll keep you in the sun." Ichigo grins out.

"The sun has no affect on us, whatever gave you that idea?" He asks.

"I doesn't?" Ichigo asks with a slight tremble to his tone.

"Yes, I mean I did fight with you and Orihime during the day and all." He says rolling his eyes which are back to being green, however his tail is now purple with an arrow head tip while his hair turns green and his eyes are emerald green.

"What's happening to you?" He asks.

"Huh?" Spike says as he looks down at himself and grows surprised to see his bandages glowing faintly. "I'm not sure. Maybe it's a coming of age thing?" He asks.

"How old are you now?" Chrysalis asks.

"18, why?" He asks.

"Your coming of age, looks like your powers are setting in." She says with a firm nod.

"You know about Dragons?" Twilight asks.

"Of course! We have a few Dragons in the hive that have bred with us. We even have the Dragons as allies." Chrysalis says while blinking slowly as if she were confused.

"You have them as your allies!?" Luna exclaims.

"Er, yeah?" She says a confused look on her face. "Changelings and Dragons are part of the same "parent". We even share similar abilities. Wait, why does this even matter?" she asks.

"Because the Drakes are allied with the Griffins." Spike says.

"Isn't Gilda a Griffin?"

"I was, before I regained myself. Not shut up and keep talking damn it!!" Gilda roars.

"...I really need to educate you on better grammar." Rarity says while face palming.

"Go get shagged." Gilda growls out.

"I do not have a mate." She says politely. He had been noticing that while yes, Rarity is a tad bit snobbish at times, she has a heart of gold and is in fact, generous. He also notes that she is beautiful and any stallion or male would be lucky to have her for a mate. "And if I did, I would would be making sure he or she were to be happy. Even if that means they wanted to "shag", as you so rightfully put it, then I would comply happily." She says.

"Man your strange." Gilda deadpans before walking away towards Applejack who had been staring at him for a while now.

"So rude. I merely try to help and she grows mean." Rarity huffs out. He places a hand onto her shoulder and pats it gently.

"Don't worry, it's her way thanking you. Not sure where the "thank you" part is, but she is thankful non the less." He says.

"No I'm not!" Gilda roars a few feet away.

"See, she is thankful!" He says. Rarity giggles softly and flashes him a small smile.

"Thank you, Spike, I needed that." She says as she notes that her mane is losing it's curls. "Oh my goodness, I had better fix this!" She exclaims. He stops her by grabbing her wrist.

"Don't. It looks better with it straight and wavy." He says to her.

"You really think so?" she asks.

"Yes. Besides, your mane is purple as well as gorgeous. I dare say if you kept it down and wavy, stallions will come lining up to you for dates. Maybe you'll even get a prince, like you've been desiring." He says.

"I dare say that sounds delightful!" She says. "Though I don't know what prince would want me." She says rubbing her arm.

"Who knows? Maybe Shining Armor might want you?" He asks.

"Shining Armor? Twilight's brother? But isn't he just a commoner?" She asks.

"Pff, no! Their part of the royal family!" He exclaims.

"We are?" Twilight asks.

"Of course! You are my sister, right?" He asks.

"I am, I guess?" She says unsurely.

"And Celestia has been raising us, right?" He asks.

"Well, yes, but-"

"And she even told us to call her "mom", right?" He asks.

"Okay fine! We're royalty, happy!?" She screams.

"Very." He says with a nod. Chrysalis raises a brow.

"Is there a reason why we are talking about who's royal and who isn't?" She asks.

"I was telling Rarity that she could get a mate by keeping her mane down as well as being wavy. Personally I like seeing straight hair- er, manes." He says while running a hand through hers. She blushes lightly.

"You like my mane style?" she asks.

"I love all mane styles, it's just I prefer straight and wavy to be honest." He says with a small smile.

"I always have it that way through." She says.

"I know." He tells her softly and kisses her muzzle gently. She smiles down at him lovingly before running a hand through his hair.

"Well, I guess I had better keep my hair down then, no?" She giggles out.

"I guess so." He says. Gilda notes how hers, Dash's, Nightmares and Luna's hair are all straight or wavy in some way. She inwardly grins to herself and thanks for the straight hair.

"Now, mind explaining what my having the Dragons as allies is important?" She asks.

"The Drakes are with the Griffins and are supplying them with their advanced machines. I had recieved word that the Dragons are more advanced. Is this true?" He asks.

"Somewhat. They are advanced, but not with machines. With magic, yes. And while they do have machines, they aren't as fancy as the Drake's are." She tells him.

"I see. Well that is helpful. Do you think you could ask their leader to come here as soon as possible as that we may ask for their help?" He asks hopefully.

"I could, yes." She says with a nod. "But enough about this war, let's celebrate your birthday!" She cheers out.

"Fucking finally!" Dash exclaims as she fist pumps the air. "I have been waiting for a while to do this!" She whoops.

"You want to celebrate my birthday instead of Nightmare Night?" He asks.

"Of course, love." Chrysalis says. "Why wouldn't we?" She asks.

"I...I don't really know. So, what do you guys generally do for birthdays?" He asks with a small smile. Chrysalis goes to speak, but a shriek of terror rips through the sky catching their attentions. Looking over, they see a pony walking slowly out of the Everfree Forest, with the stench of death surrounding them.

"Fuck." Gilda says before howls resound from the forest and red eyes stare at them. "Guess we're gonna have to fight on your birthday, babe." She hisses out while summoning her axe.

"I don't mind. But let's make this quick, I don't think these ponies are normal." He says, and with that they rush forward towards the strange ponies, as a pair of Griffins wearing soldier uniforms fly away at top speed into the night.
