Chapters Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
Soarin's Scales 2 Something more
Spikes and Soarin's house was just like many others. The living room was in the front of the house just as you trotted into the building. It was for relaxing and socializing of course.
There was a large red velvet couch in the middle. In front of it, seated on a small table was the family radio. That had to cost around 800 bits. Beside the radio was Soarins brand new phonograph. Soarin loved music and so did Spike, but If there was one thing Soarin loved more than music was, surprisingly, boardgames. And when he played, he gets really competitive. Spike didn't see the appeal in boardgames, the dragon would prefer to read a book over a board game any day. But Soarin got this drakefriend to play once and awhile.
Today was such an occasion.
Right at this moment; Soarin and Spike were playing Battleship, there eyes glued to there screens watching there own sides. But Soarin took quick glances at Spikes screen every two seconds when the drake wasn't looking. After all. 'All's far in love and war' .
For what felt like the one-hundredth time that day Spike lost a ship. Making this Spikes last chance to win. Soarin cheered in victory. Spike sighed in annoyance.
"Soarin" The pegasus stopped his victory dance and turned to Spike. "maybe this game would be more fun for ME if you stopped taking glances at my screen when I turn around, please".
"Are you saying that I'm cheating?" A smirk came across his face. "I have no idea what your talking about".
"Don't play dumb! that's the filth time you've screen peeked" Spike growled. "why don't you be stallion and play by the rules!".
"Is that a challenge?" Soarin's eyes narrowed. Spike nodded. "OH! you are going DOWN!".
The two lovers turned back to the game. Soarin held up his promise and stopped screen peeking. But as the game went on Soarin was lossing more and more of his ships. With every shot Spike was getting closer to his last ship, but it seamed as if every shot Soarin took was a full on miss. Then the unthinkable happened..
*Blam!*
"B.3 Soarin I got you. And If I'm not mistaken that's your last ship" Said Spike
With his eye twitching Soarin pulled his head from the screen and up to a very smug looking Spike.
"Serves you right" Spike stuck out his tongue.
* * *
Spike was trotting down the streets of Ponyville, still feeling proud of his board game victory. But then his happiness fell. Because today he had some business to attend to.
Soon the dragon was standing in the doorway of Ponyville library. Turning around to greet him was his best-friend/sister. Twilight Sparkle.
She smiled. "Oh! Spike!" She pulled him into a tight hug, that he happily returned. Breaking the hug she spoke. "so what made you want to stop by? how are you and Sorain? are you hungry? I have some leftovers from last night...
Spike put a claw to her lips. He smiled. "Twilight I'm fine". His smile dropped. "I just need your advice".
She could since the worry in his voice. "Um. sure. What do you need my advice for?".
He took a breath.
"Kids".
* * *
Soarin was headbanging to the loud music playing from his phonograph. The phonograph was an invention that's been around for about 15years now. It was created by some smart egghead in Germany. And if Soarin ever met the guy in person he would praise him like a God. Because thanks to the phonograph ponies could listen to there favorite songs when ever they want. But there was one down side. If you turn it up to loud, you wont be able to hear anyone speak to you. Even if there really close up.
"Um.. Soarin.."
The Pegasus had his eyes closed and keep headbanging, so he did not hear his drakefriend call.
"Soarin.."
Soarin keep bobbing his head and singing with the music. Spike was growing annoyed very fast, so the dragon pulled the cord out with a...
*POP!*
"I'm walking on sunshine ohhh- " Soarin quickly relised the music had stopped. He looked up the the unhappy eyes of Spike "What was that for?".
"Oh nothing. I just had a question to ask you".
A question? oh this can't be good Though Soarin. "Um..okay".
Spike took a breath.
"Do you love me?" Said Spike sounding more like he was pleading than asking.
Soarin was very confused. This was not the first time Spike has asked a question similar to this, but never so bluntly. Since coming back from Canterlot a few days ago Soarin had noticed that Spike had been acting strange.
Now! let me stop you there Spike did not cheat on Soarin. Said Pegasus was with him the entire time. This was back when Spike had came out to his mother Celestia. Soarin didn't even bring that though to his brain. Spike loved him and he loved Spike. They would never do that to each-other.
But something was off. 'Oh shit! maybe Spike wants to break up! ' Soarins eyes widened in shock.
Soarin shook away his shock and smiled. That could ever happen.. right.
"Of course baby. I love you with all my heart" To put Spikes worry's to rest Soarin pressed his muzzle into the dragons. A kiss witch Spike happily returned.
They broke the kiss and Soarin raised an eyebrow.
"Now.. whats wrong bro".
Spike looked away and sighed.
"I want a child".
"..."
"..."
"..."
"....um... WHAT!?".

Well there you go! Chapter one!
Oh.. it looks like Spike wants to expand the family.
Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
The little orphan
Soarin's Scales 2 The little orphan
(A few days latter) :
At that moment Soarin and Spike were on board a train bound for Canterlot. They both sat together, with Soarin looking out the window and Spike reading a book.
“Spike” Soarin poked his drakefriend. “are you sure you want to do this. I mean, we could always just get a dog” He laughed.
“Nope. I want a child”.
“Are you sure, sure”.
“Yep”.
Soarin sighed and looked out the window. “I hope so... this is a really big step Spike. Like, were not even married yet” Spike glared at the Pegasus. “I told you I would ask you soon. I just need a few more bits. You can't rush these things Spike”.
They both laughed. But then Spike took Soarins hoof in his claws.
“Baby, I know this is a big step. But I think that were ready. I feel like, together, we could take on the world. And another thing..” Spike blushed. “I do want to start a family with you”.
Soarin sighed. “But what will our friends and family think?”.
“Well Twilight seemed happy about the idea. And I know for a fact that my mother wants grand-baby’s. Lots and lots of grand-baby’s!”.
They laughed again. Then Soarins eyes widened.
“Lets just start off with one for now” He said in mock fear.
Spike nodded, smiling.
* * *
The rest of the train ride was spent in silence. Then the train came to a halt at Canterlot train station.
The doors to the train opened to let pony's get off or on. Spike and Soarin got off. A few guards saw Spike and waved. They waved back.
Walking down the streets of Canterlot Spike and Soarin made there way to the city’s orphanage. Once they arrived at the building the pair took in there surroundings.
The building itself was a bright yellow. Almost to much yellow. And the place looked rundown. Little filly’s and colts played outside without any adult supervision. To put the place into words:
It looked depressing and odd.
'I'd got to look into Equestrias orphanage programs when we are done here. Maybe I can see what I could do to help. Because this place is terrible! ' Thought Spike.
The pair glanced at each-other. Then, opened the door.
* * *
Gum Drop sat quietly at the orphanages front desk. She was looking over some paperwork about child adoptions. In truth, there had not been a adoption in months. That made her sad. These kids meant so much to her, and she would just hate to see them stay here there whole life's here.
Hopefully today would be different.
Almost as if an angle had heard her the front door opened.
A dragon and a pegasus trotted in. The dragon was lavender with green spikes. The pegasus was blue with a darker blue mane. They were not the ideal adopters she was used to. But she'd take anything at this point.
She smiled. “Well hello there boys!” She pulled out two chairs for them with her magic. “what can I do for you today?”.
They both took a seat. “Well thank you” Spike smiled back. “and as a matter of fact; me and my coltfriend here would like to adopt a filly or colt today”.
Her eyes widened. “Did you say.. coltfriend? As in you and him... together?”.
“Yes we are. I hope that's not a problem?” Said Soarin gritting his teeth.
“Oh! Not at all!” She giggled. “I was just surprised to see a pony and dragon together. Let alone both of them being males. I myself have no problem with that. And I'm sure the children will be very happy to meet you two”.
They both sighed in relief.
“Now may I ask you some questions before you start looking?”.
“Sure” they both relayed.
“Great!” She looked down at the paper. “Now... what is your source of income?”.
“Well, I work odd jobs around town, and I'm a Prince so I get a large pay from my mother every mouth. And Soarin here is a Wonderbolt” Said Spike.
She looked at the couple. 'So that's where I remember these two from. He's Prince Spike and that's Soarin the Wonderbolt ' She thought.
“OK great! Now whats your living arrangements?”.
“We both live at Spikes house”.
Spike took his hoof in his claw. “Our house now, baby” Gum Drop smiled at the show of affection.
“Oh how cute!” She squeaked. Then she put the papers away. “I'm sure that whatever child you pick will love his/her new home and daddy's. You two seem very nice”.
“Thank you” They both said.
“Now, I have one more question if you don't mind” They nodded. “are you leaning more to adopting a filly or a colt today”.
Both dragon and pony looked at each-other. Then smiled.
“A filly”.
* * *
Rosaline, or Rose for short, was siting on her bed reading when two bullies came over and snatched the book from her hoofs.
“Hey! That's mine! Give it back!” She tried to grab the book, but the bullies were to tall.
“That's mine ” They copied and mocked her. “well what are you going to do about it shrimp?” The bigger colt pushed her to the ground.
As Rose fell on the dirt a dragon and pony came into the room, going unnoticed by the kids. The two colts laughed at Rose as she started to cry.
'I hate it here! Everyponys so mean to me. Its not even like I asked to come here anyway. ' She closed her eyes. “Please somepony take me away from here” She whispered.
“Stop that right now!” Yelled Miss, Gum Drop and two other voices.
The two colts eyes widened at the site before them. There beside Miss, Gum Drop was a buff stallion and a real live dragon. Who all in fact looked very angry.
The stallion came up to the colts and took the book away, giving it back to a stunned Rose. “Don't you know that bulling is wrong?” They both nodded in fear. “its only OK to bully if its another colt. But never pick on a filly! That's just evil!”.
Miss, Gum Drops eyes widened at the bad parenting lesson. Spike just face-clawed.
“What my coltfirend met to say was this. You shouldn’t bully anypony...”He glared at Soarin who blushed. “and that gos for colts, fillys, and even the littlest bug”.
Soarin nodded. “That's right kids. Because one-day that bug mite grow up and eat you !” Soarin growled.
The two colt ran off screaming.
Gum Drop sighed and rushed off after the colts.
Soarin laughed hysterically. Receiving a slap on his head from Spike.
Rose giggled at the pair. Both dragon and pegasus noticed the filly and looked at her.
She was a little filly unicorn, who had to be around five years old, with a pink coat and a violet mane and tale. Light blue eyes and she had the cutest shy smile ever!
Rose blushed under there gaze.
“Um... hi. I'm Rose” She whispered almost like Fluttershy.
Spike and Soarin looked at each-other then nodded. Looking back to the filly they spoke.
“Would you like to come live with us”.
Her eyes widened and for the first time in years she felt truly happy. Like what she just heard was a dream. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“What did you say?”.
Spike and Soarin giggled. “Would you like us to be your new daddy's?-” Started Spike.
“-and come live with us at your new home-” Soarin continued.
“As a family!” They both finished.
Rose blinked. Then (I swear to the gods) everypony in Canterlot could hear a little filly yell.
“YES!!! ”
Author's Note
Well the next chapter is out!
Also I just had the feeling to write so I couldn't wait for one of you to pick the name for there kid. Sorry. But Rosaline is a name that I really love. Or Rose for short. I hope you like it two.
Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
Train robbery!
Soarin's Scales 2 Train Robbery!
Back on the train Soarin, Spike and there newly adopted daughter Rose sat and talked.
“... and then I climbed to the tallest point of the Crystal Tower. Looked Sombra right into the eyes, and said: “Come at me bro!” And Sombra did just that, but do you know what your smart daddy did then?”.
For the last few moments Spike had gone onto tell his new daughter about the time he saved the Crystal Empire. Sure he exaggerated on a few small points in the story. But! That didn't matter, because Rose was eating it up.
“What did you do!?” exclaimed Rose, on the edge of her seat. Soarin on the other hand rolled his eyes. He new the real truth to this story, but let Spike have his moment... for now.
“Well, then I used the Crystal heart to stop him. Yep. And that was the end of Sombra” Spike laughed. “heck, now the crystal pony's treat me like a hero because of that” Spike flexed his arms.
“You are a hero daddy!” Rose cheered.
Soarin couldn’t take anymore of this. He had to speak up. “Okay Spike, you and me bot-”
“You and 'I', Soarin”.
He sighed. “Yes Spike, thank you” He rolled his eyes. “you and I! Both know that everything that you just said was total bull-
“Soarin!” Spike kicked into parent mode. “that is no kind of language for a child!” Spike whispered/yelled. Both the dragon and pony then went into a full daddy to daddy argument.
Rose smiled. She had no idea why her daddy's were arguing, but she didn't care. She could tell that they loved each-other and were just play arguing. 'Well.. at least for daddy Soarin that is. Daddy Spike seems to be taking this really seriously ' Thought Rose.
Then a thought crossed her mind. 'You know what. Calling them both daddy could get confusing. How about I call daddy Spike, dad, and I call daddy Soarin, daddy ' She thought it over in her head. 'yep! Sounds good '. She smiled
* * *
The train ride from Canterlot to Ponyville was a good five hour trip. And by the time Sorain, Spike and Rose left the orphanage and got on the train it was dark. So nearly everypony on board was asleep.
Everypony except for Rose. The poor little filly was just to excited to fall asleep. Her life had changed for the better. She left that mean old orphanage and all those mean bullies behind. She would miss Gum Drop though, she was a nice lady. But now she had a family, two loving daddy's, a home, and hopefully new friends soon!
'Yep! Nothing could ruin this perfect day ' Rose smiled.
*Boom!*
'Well, except for that! ' Her smile dropped.
The train came to a grinding halt. Everypony on-board fell forward, except for Rose, because as if by pure instinct Spike and Soarin--still barely awake--caught there daughter and placed her safely back on her seat.
“What in the name of Cleasta was that!”.
“Whats going on!”.
“Is everypony OK!?”.
“I think so...!”.
*Blam!*
Everypony screamed at the sound of the magic blast. Spike and Soarin put there claws and hoofs around Rose, who was scared out of her mind.
Then everything went quiet.
Slowly three stallions came on-board. One a unicorn, the other a earth-pony, and lastly a pegasus. All wearing red bandanas abound there mussels. For who appeared to be the leader, the unicorn, came foreword. His horn was still smoking from the spell blast.
“Sorry to wake you all up lady’s and gentlecolts, but this here is a train robbery!” Everypony gasped. Spike and Soarins eyes sharpened. 'Ain’t nopony going to hurt our daughter ' They both thought.
“Now!” The earth-pony came up, carrying a bag In his teeth. “I wa..mm. All.. ofmmm youmm to”.
“For god sakes! Gold fang spit the bag out before you talk!” Yelled the unicorn.
Gold fang did as he was told. “Well nice going Long-run! You gave away my name!”.
“You just gave away mine!”.
“Well now were even!” Gold barked.
“Why you...”
As the train robbers argued amongst each-other. Spike looked over to Soarin. They both nodded. Opening the suitcase compartment they placed Rose inside of it.
“Daddy's don't leave me!” Begged Rose. It pained the two fathers to see there little angle crying, but it had to be done.
“Don't worry Rose. Were just making sure your safe” Both Spike and Soarin smiled warmly. “were going to go beat up the bad guys now. Will be back in just a few seconds” Soarin winked.
Some of Roses fears melted away at her dads words. She merely nodded and said. “I love you daddy's”.
“We love you too, Rose” They smiled, closing the compartment door.
Those robbers are going to pay for making our daughter cry.
* * *
“..well we mite as well just tell them our whole life story then! Hi there everypony my names Long-run and I live in Canterlot with my best friends Gold Fang and Zoom! Were going to take your money and live out west in Appleloosa!” Exclaimed Long-run.
Then Long-run felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around.
“What--” His voice was caught in his throat as the site before him. There standing in front of him was a really pissed off dragon standing on his two feet, witch made the dragon easily taller than himself.. Next to said dragon was an equally pissed off stallion. Then to make matters worse Long-run looked around.
All around the three amateur robbers were supper duper pissed off mares and stallions. They all looked at the three with kill in there eyes.
Long-run was sweating profusely. “Um... we surrender?” He weakly laughed, only to have Spike pull back his arm and punch him square in the face. The unicorn fell flat on his back with a thud.
“Get them!” Yelled everypony. Gold and Zoom held each-other for dear life.
“Ahhhhhh!”
* * *
Everything was back to normal on the train after a few hours. The robbers were beaten, the train was back on tack, and Rose was asleep, feeling safe knowing that her daddy's protected her. Also Spike and Soarin were held as heroes by the pony's on the train.
They both smiled in there sleep. Sure, there would be a lot of explaining to do the next morning, but for now they could sleep tight.
Knowing that Rose was safe.
* * *
The three robbers where tied up in the back of the train. Bloodied and beaten.
“Sooooo, the plans for going to Appleloosa are canceled then?” Asked Gold Fang.
“Oh! Shut up!”
Both Long-run and Zoom yelled, as the train continued its drive to Ponyville.
Author's Note
Never come between Spike, Soarin and there daughter! you mite just end up like Gold, Long-run, and Zoom.
Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
Soarin's Scales 2 Your new home
After that long, and well, unexpected train ride the train robbers were taken to jail, and Spike, Soarin and Rose had returned home. Spike and Soarin had to be careful not to wake anypony up in town. It was still dark out, just over midnight, and the pair didn't want anypony to know about Rose just yet.
And they prayed to the Gods that Pinkie Pie wouldn't notice.
But thankfully they returned home safe and sound, and without anypony seeing them.
At this moment Spike, Soarin and Rose had just walked into there home.
“And this Rose..” Spike looked around. “is your new home. I hope you like it. Also! Your room is upstairs, me and your daddy got it all set up a few days ago” Spike looked down at the little filly and smiled.
Rose didn't notice though. She was to engaged in the moment. 'This... this is better than I ever dreamed of... ' Thought Rose.
Soarin leaned into Spike side, both daddy's looking at there new daughters stunned expression.
Soarin laughed. “I think she likes it”.
“Yep”.
Rose turned around and looked at her daddy's with tears in her eyes. “No.. I don't like it”.
Both dragon and pegasus smiles fell.
“I LOVE it!” She ran up to them and jumped into there arms.
Spike and Soarin both sighed with joy.
* * *
At that moment in the upstairs bedroom of Suggercube Corner, Pinkie Pie smiled in her sleep.
“There's somepony new in town...” She mumbled.
Then the crazy party pony fell back into a deep sleep. She after all, would need all her energy for the upcoming welcome to Ponyville party!
* * *
Back at the Spike household, Rose and Soarin were playing boardgames. For the past hour they had played games Battleship, Candy-Land, Life, but Rose favorite of all time was Monopoly!
“Daddy! Watch out for my railroad, because if you land on it you'll have to pay me! ” Yelled Rose. Soarin wasn't paying any attention to the game, he moved his top hat piece without even looking.
“Rose I've been playing this game since before you were born. I think that I know what-”
"Um... daddy" She interrupted
"Yes my little sweets?".
"You landed on my railroad" She giggled. Soarin looked down, and you'll be darned, she was right!
“Oh! come on!" Screamed Soarin flipping the board game. Rose patted her daddy on the back with a hoof.
“Its okay daddy. You can't win them all”.
"Still sucks that I lost" Soarin crossed his hoofs and pouted like a baby.
* * *
Spike smiled from the kitchen, watching his favorite pegasus and unicorn play together.
* * *
At that moment both Twilight and Rainbow Dash shot up in there beds.
“Was I just demoted on a friends most awesome unicorn chart?”
“Did somepony just think that there's a better pegasus than me!?”
They both really weren’t shore on why they had this feeling, but what they did know was that they both really, really wanted to punch Spike right about now.
Closing there eye's they fell back asleep.
* * *
“Dinner is done!” Called Spike from the kitchen.
“Awesome!” Both Soarin and Rose jumped over the couch and ran into the kitchen. But before they could get to the food Spike stopped them.
“Now I now that your new to the rules here Rose, so I won't blame you. But your daddy Soarin knows that we do not eat UNTILL we wash our hoofs” Said Spike glaring at his coltfriend, who in return rolled his eyes. Rose on the other hand giggled and nodded.
Going over to the sink Rose washed her hoofs. Then she was able to eat at the table.
As Rose was eating, Soarin and Spike were still in a staring contest. Both not backing down.
“I'm not going to wash my hoofs Spike...”.
“Yes you are, there dirty!”.
“My hoofs are fine! So I'm not going to wash them!”.
“Your acting like a child!”.
“lalalala, I can't hear you, lalalala..”
“Soarin! If you don't was you hoofs right now, you won't be getting any of this...” Spike shook is flank at his coltfriend, who in return blushed. “... for a year!”.
Soarins eyes widened. 'He can't be serious. That flank is my favorite past time! ' But the look on Spikes face confirmed his fears.
So that was the end of that. Soarin washed his hoofs, and the three sat down to eat as a family.
“Daddy?” Asked Rose. Soarin looked up from his food, but taking a sip of water. “when dad showed you his butt, why did you blush and give up so easily?”.
Both fathers spit out there drinks. Spike was laughing madly on the floor, rolling around. But Soarin on the other hand blushed and hid his face behind his mane.
“hahaha Oh my god!” Spike grabbed his side's. “to much.. hahah.. to funny!”.
Soarin rolled his eyes, blushing. “Its not that funny” he muttered.
Rose had watched the entire seen unfold. And she was supper confused. 'All I did was ask a question? ' But the little filly shrugged and went back to her food.
* * *
Rose lay in her new bed, in her new room, with her new daddy's giving her a goodnight kiss and hug.
“We love you, Rose” They both said. “And now get some sleep. We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow.” Spike added.
“I love you too daddy's” She yawned. “And I will”.
Spike and Soarin trotted to the door. “Do you want your nightlight on” She nodded. “okay then.. goodnight Rose” Said Spike, turning on her Power Pony's nightlight.
“Goodnight, most awesome filly in the world!” Cheered Soarin. Rose giggled. And Spike rolled his eyes, but smiled.
Then the door closed.
I think that I'm going to love it here Smiled Rose, as she feel into a deep sleep.
* * *
Spike and Soarin both lay in bed sweating and panting.
“Man, that was tight!” exclaimed Soarin.
“Yea it was” Spike agreed. “being fathers is a lot of work, but it pays off when you see you kids smile at the end of the day”.
Soarin nodded. Then an idea came to him. He rolled over onto his side, dragging a hoof down Spikes rock hard chest. “Soooo, you wanna have sex!?”.
Spike rolled his eyes and grinned. “Okay, but make it a fast one. Also keep it quite, Rose is sleeping in the next room”.
He nodded. 'A perfect end to a perfect day ' Thought Soarin.
'Gods, I'm going to be sore in the morning ' Thought Spike.
Author's Note
Just a fun chapter about the lifestyle of Spike, Soarin, and Rose.
Also sorry if you all were expecting this chapter to be about Spike and Soarin telling everypony about Rose. That's the next chapter! because even a dragon, wonderbolt, and little filly need too sleep.
Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
Meeting the family
Soarin's Scales 2: Meeting the family
Early the next morning Spike had gotten up very early to cook breakfast. Also the drake had sent letters out to all his close friends and family. Informing them to come to his house latter that day, for some big news.
Then the dragon had gotten a very cranky Soarin out of bed. He is NOT a morning person . And had woken up his little angle, Rose.
The family now sat around the breakfast table, with Rose eating flapjacks, Spike reading the paper, and Soarin poking his apple with a spoon.
“Spike?” Spike looked up from the paper. “what is this... thing before me?”.
Rose giggled with a mouth full of food. Spike rolled his eyes at his coltfriends silliness. “That my love is an apple. Its good for you” He turned to his daughter. “and Rose, chew your food please”.
She swallowed, smiling “Yes dad!”.
Soarin put the spoon down (He was holding it with a wing by-the-way) and looked at his daughters food with eyes of desire. “But why dose SHE get the good stuff and I get the dumb apple!” Whined Soarin. Rose giggled again.
“Because you need to lose a few pounds” Said Spike bluntly, his face hidden from behind the paper.
Soarins eyes widened with shock. Never in there years as friends or lovers had Spike said anything so rude, and blunt before. Tears welled up in Soarins eyes.
“Why...” He choked out.
Spike looked up from his paper, grinning. “Just joking! No. The reason I gave you the apple was because we only had enough pancake mix for one pony. And don't you think that Rose should have that pancake?” Spike laughed and got up. “and man! The look on your face was priceless!” And with that Spike and Rose trotted out of the kitchen. Leaving a stunned Soarin behind.
“Well, by the Gods. Spike finely got me back” Soarin sighed. “good show, jolly good show!”.
* * *
Latter that day Spike and Soarin were waiting in the living-room for two more pony's to arrive.
The others had already came. AppleJack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight. Also Spike had invited some of Soarins friends. Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, Derpy, The Doctor, and even Soarins ex-marefriend Spitfire had came.
The letter did not inform them of what was going on. Only that they were to report to Spikes house latter that day. None of them knew what Spike and Soarin were up to. Except for Twilight, who was smiling with anticipation to she her new niece.
Just then a bright flash filled the room. Everypony and dragon covered there eyes. Then in a blink of an eye the flash was gone. Now standing in the middle of the room were Princess Cleastia and Princess Luna.
Everypony bowed. Except for Spike.
“Hi mom” He smiled.
Cleastias blank expression formed into a huge smile at the site of her child. “Spike my son. Come to ma'am!” She held out a foreleg.
Spike blushed. “Mom! Not in-front of my friends!”.
Her smile became a death glare. “Spike Sparkle! You get your flank over here and HUG ME! ” She commanded. Spike didn't need to be told again. He rushed over to his mother and embraced her.
The pony's in the room awwwed at the show of mother/son affection.
Pulling away Spike was pulled into another, much more tighter, hug by Luna. “Ah! Were have you been dear nephew?! We have missed you very much!” Exclaimed Luna.
Spike chuckled. “Hi aunt Luna” He hugged back. “And to answer your question I've been here with Soarin. Sorry I haven't visited you in sometime”.
She pulled back. “That is fine, dear nephew. We understand that you have your own life now. But we are saddened for not having anypony to play the video games with anymore” She looked down.
“Hay! I tried to play with you” Defended Cleastia.
Luna's head shot up. “And you were horrible! You were the worst gamer we had ever seen. Thou as you say: sucked the balls!” Retorted Luna.
Some pony's in the room blushed, some looked away, but as for Vinyl, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie they were on the ground laughing.
Spike coughed into his fist. “Well, now that everpony's here we can begin” Spike looked at his friends and family then spoke. “okay everypony, can I have your attention please!" Everypony in the room stopped talking. "Thank you. Now! Me and Soarin have somepony that would like to meet you all...."
* * *
Rose was hiding upstairs. Waiting for her daddy's signal to come down. 'Oh.. I do hope this go's well ' She thought.
Then she heard her dads voice. “Rose! Please come down here!”.
Taking a breath she trotted down the steps.
* * *
“Rose! Please come down here!” Called Spike. Everypony in the room, except for Twilight and Soarin, were confused at who this Rose could be. But then.. they saw her.
She was a little unicorn filly, who couldn't be any older than five years. With a pink coat and a violet mane/tail and light blue eyes. Also, she had the cutest shy smile ever!
“Um.. Spike my son who is this little child?” Asked Cleastia, looking over the filly with curious eyes.
“Yes Spikey, who is she? Oh! she is just positivity adorable!” Squeaked Rarity. Making Rose blush and hide behind her daddy Soarin.
All the pony's present had the same kind of question. Except, once again, Twilight who just stared at her niece with sparkling eyes. 'Yes! Thank you Gods! Shes a unicorn. Now I can teach her everything I know! Oh, this is going to be so much fun! ' She squeaked in joy.
Spike and Soarin looked at each-other and smiled. 'Things seem to be going well so far ' They thought. Soarin moved away from in-front of Rose, so now everypony could see the cutey that she was.
Spike and Soarin put there claws and hoofs around Rose. “Well everypony this is Rose...” Slowly Cleastias eyes widened. She was starting to put the pieces together. “... our daughter”.
The room become purely silent. Everyponys eyes were wide with shock, even Pinkie Pie. Heck! Rarity even fainted !
Twilight couldn't hold back anymore. She charged at the filly and hugged her. “Hello there! I'm Twilight Sparkle. Your new aunt!” She pulled the filly close to her chest. “and we are going to have so much fun reading, studying, and taking notes!” She pulled the filly to her eyes. “Aren’t you excited?!”.
Rose was scared out of her mind. 'This mare is crazy! But kind of funny also. I could learn to like her, I guess .. ' Rose could only nod in fear.
Cleastia couldn't handle this! This was all just moving to fast. Sure she was happy that she had a grandchild. What mother wouldn't. But this was so unexpected. 'Spike and Soarin aren't even married yet! And they've only been together for one year! ' It was all just to much.
And right there, the greatest and most powerful pony/goddess in the world blacked out...
And collapsed to the ground.
*Thud*
Author's Note
Well Spike and Soarin did it. They told there friends and family about cute little Rose.
Poor Cleastia (she fainted). Yea! for Twilight (she got someone new to study with).
Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
Prison Break!
Soarin's Scales 2 Prison Break
Far away from the town of Ponyville. And inside the Equestrian. Maximum. Security. Prison (E.M.S.P), three pony's were siting in there prison cells, just passing the time.
For the next 13 years.
“Oooooh lord! This prison got me feeling down!” Sang Gold Fang. “ooooh lord! This equestrian prison got me feeling down...” He blew on his harmonica.
Finely Long-run couldn’t take anymore. “Um.. Gold. Could I barrow that please?”.
Gold stopped playing. He looked down at his harmonica and then up to Long-run. “Sure” He gave his instrument to Long-run. “just be careful, that's my only-”
*Smash!*
“-one” Sighed Gold Fang.
“Thank you Long-run!” Cheered Zoom. “that was starting to get very annoying”.
“No problem”.
Gold looked hurt. “I thought I was pretty good” he muttered.
Just then, the little food slot opened. Three trays of bread and water fell onto the ground inside there cell. “Eat up, lades!” mocked a guard. The small door closed and the guard trotted off.
Zoom picked up his tray with a wing. “We can't keep eating like this!” His belly growled. “I haven't ate a good meal in days! Ever since we got locked up in this joint”.
Long-run also picked up his tray. “I know what you mean” He sighed.
“Don't worry guys!” Said Gold happily. “were only here for the next 13 years! That's not that long”.
Both unicorn and pegasus glared at Gold.
“Oh! Shut up!”.
* * *
*The next day*.
Outside in the prison courtyard the three train robbers talked amongst each-other.
“We have to get out of here” Exclaimed Zoom. “I can't take it anymore!”.
Gold looked confused. “But we've only been in here for three days?”.
Zoom collapsed onto ground. “That's the problem...” he sighed.
Long-run keep quiet. His eyes were fixed on watching the barbwire gates, and the guards patrolling around them.
“Just thinking..” He said.
'I am NOT going to spend the next 13 years behind bars! ' He thought. 'We need to escape. And besides, I don't think that Zoom can handle being caged up anymore. ' He watched as Zoom tried to bite off his wingcuffs. Only to have a guard, from one of the towers, fire a crossbow bolt at his hoofs.
“Ahhh!” The pegasus looked up at the guard. “yo buddy! That was really close!” But the guard just shrugged.
“Jerk..” muttered Gold, helping Zoom up. Who in return blushed.
“Um.. thanks”.
Gold nodded with a smile.
“Guys...” Started Long-run. The other two looked at him, as he turned around with a crazy look in his eyes.”we are gonna bust out of here tonight!”.
There eyes went wide. Gold and Zoom were about to say “no” & “are you crazy” but then another prisoner came over.
“Did I just hear you say that your busting out?” Asked the prisoner.
She was a Changeling. With the same kind of appearance that any other Changeling had. But what made her stand out was her bright orange eyes, that looked almost magic.
“Um.. yea. What of it?” Asked Long-run.
She smirked. “Well your going to need my help then” She held out a hoof. “The names Stalker Strike, or you can call me by my hive name, drone 600,789,546”.
Long-run took her outstretched hoof. “I think that will just call you Strike, if that's fine with you” He laughed awkwardly. She nodded.
“Now then” He let go. “why do we need your help?”.
She shrugged, and smiled “Why not?”.
'Something about her is off. But... her powers could help us ' Long-run thought. “Um... okay, sure. You can help” He returned the smile.
“Wait! are you serious?” Yelled Zoom with anger in his eyes. “have you forgotten about what there kind did to Canterlot 13 years ago!?” He looked right at Strike. “I mean, how did you even end up in here!?”.
Strike growled with anger, showing off her fangs. Sending fear up there spines. “That attack was not called by the Changeling government. It was an attack by the rebel Chrysalis, and her rebel hive!” She looked in Zooms eyes. “and to answer your question. I was put in here for being a Changeling!” Tears fell from her eyes.
All three pony's felt bad for there new Changeling comrade.
Zoom was the first to recover. He slowly trotted over to Strike and place a gentle hoof on her shoulder. “Hey, um, I'm sorry about what I said. Its just that; I was a little colt when that happened and I guess that I never really got over it” He smiled. “and I would be very happy if you were to join us in escaping”.
Long-run nodded. “Me too”. They all looked at Gold Fang.
“Well... I guess that if your okay with it, then I am too” He smiled.
Strike wiped away her tears. “Great!” Her confident expression returned. “now, gather around” They all did so.
“Here's the plan” She grinned evilly.
* * *
(The next morning)
“Alright! All prisoners we are having a surprise room search. You all know what that means!” Yelled the prison warden.
All of the prisoners of {Cell block 4}came out of there cells. All but three.
The warden noticed this and looked to his unicorn Captain. “Capt. Dawn, who belongs to cell 24?”.
Dawn looked down at his papers. “Um.. Long-run, Zoom and Gold Fang. All here for a failed train robbery, sir”.
“Long-run, Zoom and Gold Fang! Get your flanks out here right now!” The warden barked. But got no response. “Huh. Capt. Dawn go get those slackers out of bed!”.
“Yes sir!” Dawn saluted.
Dawn galloped to there cell. “Alright prisoners! Sleep time is over, get up-” Dawn gasped.
“Warden! There gone!”.
“What! That's Imposable! How-” Another guard ran to the warden.
“Sir!..” He panted. “a.. a C-Changeling has e-escaped from {Cell block 2}!”.
The wardens eyes widened. “What the hell is going on?!”.
* * *
During the night the four prisoners had escaped threw a series of air vents, and thanks to Strikes powers she was able to transform into a prison guard and clear the way, by telling the real guards that they were needed elsewhere.
At that moment Long-run, Zoom, Gold Fang, and Strike were over ten miles away from the prison by now. All hungry and tired. But there confidence was high.
“So.. *pant* .. whats the plan now” Asked Gold, falling on his butt.
Long-run looked at the horizon. “The plan now is to get revenge” He laughed. “revenge on that dammed dragon and stallion who got us locked up in the first place!”.
The other two nodded with tired approval. But Strike seamed a little to eager in her nodding.
'I'm coming for you Soarin. Just wait a little longer ' She smirked. Showing off her razor sharp fangs.

Things are going to go down soon! And it looks like Soarins past is coming back to bite him!

Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
Love Aflame
Soarin's Scales 2 Love Aflame
(Flash-Back)
After Spikes mother had woken up, it took everypony at the party to calm her down. Truth be told, Spike had never seen his mother so mad. She screamed at them: “You two aren't even married” & “How could you make a life changing decision with out consulting me first!”.
Her screaming was so bad that poor little Rose started to cry. When Celesta noticed this she stopped dead in her words. Seeing her new grandchild cry destroyed her. Quickly, with out hesitation, she pulled the filly into a hug and rocked back in forth. Tears falling down her cheek.
“I'm so sorry! I'm so very sorry!” She had balled. Celesta brought the child to her eyes. “Can you ever forgive me Rose?” .
Rose saw her new grandmothers tears. She was crying much harder than she was. And that made the little filly feel sorry for her. Next thing Celesta knew Rose had wrapped her little hoof's around her mussel and said. “Its o-okay grandma. I forgive you”.
Celesta and everypony smiled. Then the rest of the party had continued perfectly.
(Flash-Back Over)
* * *
Two weeks pasted by and soon Equestia was buzzing about there newest Princess Rose. But besides that nothing really big happened. Until Roses first day of school came...
At that moment; Rose was riding on her dads back as her daddy flew beside them.
“Spike, why would you choose a lame old school over the smartest pony in Equestria to teach our daughter. Twilight was pretty mad about that?” Asked Soarin, flying right in front of Spikes face.
Spike gently pushed the pegasus away. “I love Twilight. I really do, but I don't want our Rose to miss out on things like friendship” Said Spike.
“Or colts ” Soarin teased. That stopped Spike dead in his tracks, his eyes growing wide with worry. 'Maybe this was a bad Idea... '
“Ewww! Colts are gross” Exclaimed Rose. Spike let out a sigh of relief as the trio continued there march.
“Well.... most colts are” She giggled. “but there are some who are nice”.
Her dads eyes widened again in fear. 'Gods help me... '
* * *
Spike, Soarin and Rose soon arrived at the school house. Little filly's and colts ran into the building. Spike noticed Cherilee standing at the gate, they trotted over to her.
“Hello Cherilee” She turned and smiled to them. “how have you been?”.
“Oh just wonderful Spike. And my, just look at you..” Cherilee did a trot around Spike. Making the drake feel a tad bit unconformable. “why the last time I saw you, you only came up to my waste. But anyway might I ask why you are here?” She giggled.
“Y-yes well, that was four years ago” Spike blushed. Soarin noticed all of this and looked back and forth between Spike and Cherilee. “I'm actuality here to drop off our daughter Rose” He pointed to the little filly on his back. Rose blushed and shyly smiled.
“Oh yes, I remember today is little Roses first day of school!” Cherilee smiled warmly at the filly. “well I'm just so happy that you'll be joining our little family Rose”.
“Family?” Roses curiosity came out.
“Why yes. Here we are all like a family” Both females smiled.
“Then would that make you like my mommy?”.
Cherilee felt her heart stop and she blushed. “Um... yes. In a way I suppose that makes me your mommy” She gulped and turned around. “School will start soon Rose. Please come inside quickly”.
With that Cherilee totted inside quickly. Both dragon and two pony's all noticed the change in her behavior.
“Whats her problem?” Asked Soarin.
“D-did I say something wrong daddy's?”.
Spike and Soarin hugged there daughter. That did some to ease her worry’s.
“You did nothing wrong Rose. Miss Cherilee is just... upset about something” Said Spike in a whisper that had far to much emotion than it should have had. Soarin also noticed this.
They let go and there little Rose was happy once again. Soarin gave his daughter her saddlebag. Then with another hug Rose ran into class. Cherilee closed the door.
As Spike and Soarin made there way home Soarin couldn't take it anymore. So he asked.
“What was up with you and Cherilee?”.
The dragon looked to the sky. “I think that she was just upset that Rose wasn't her daughter”.
Soarin raised an eyebrow. “But she has like over forty kids in her class. Why pick our daughter as her creepy little 'I want that child' thing?”.
Spike sighed. “Because... Cherilee is my ex-marefriend” Soarins eyes widened. “we went out four years ago. It was just after I got rejected by Rarity and I needed somepony. She was also feeling lonely. One thing led to another and we dated for a year”.
“But... I .. You and Cherilee?” The pegasus shook his head. Spike nodded. “how come I never heard about this?”.
“Because we keep it a secret. I mean, just imagine how it would look if ponies found out about Cherilee, a school teacher, dating an minor”.
Soarin nodded. “That makes since, but I have another question” Spike turned to him. “what happened?” .
Spike ran a claw threw his scales. “She thought that It was to risky so we broke up. I was sad and depressed sure. But I got over it soon enough, unlike somepony I know with his ex” Spike smirked.
Soarin rolled his eyes. “Whatever, so I can't bounce back from a break up as easily as you can alright... Hold on! I have one more question?”.
“What?”.
“Your Bisexual!?” Soarin gasped with fake surprise. Spike playful punched him in the shoulder.
“Shut up” The dragon laughed.
* * *
Every child took a seat. Miss, Cherilee slowly closed the door with a weird look in her eye. Almost like she was watching a long lost friend leave. Then she sighed and closed the door. Her happy smile returning.
“Good morning class” She spoke.
“GOOD MORNING MISS, CHERILEE!!!” Screamed the class so loud that the classroom itself shook. Cherilee eyes rolled around in her head, but then with a little shake she was fine.
“Okay class I hope you all had a wonderful summer break, but school is back in. So were going to go around the room and each student can tell a little something about themselves. Sound good?”.
The class nodded.
“Okay good” She pointed to the first desk. “you there, tell us something about yourself please”.
The colt was a earth-pony. He had a light blue coat and a dark blue mane. He already had his cutie-mark, It was a shield. The colt stood in font of the class.
“Hello I'm Sun Dusk. I'm six years old and my mother works at the Rainbow Factory and my father is a Royal Guard, stationed at the Equestrian. Maximum. Security. Prison . Someday I hope to be a royal guard too!” He stood up with pride. Everypony clapped there hoof's. As he sat back down Cherilee picked the next child.
He was a pegasus with a brown mane and blue coat. He did not have his cutie-mark yet. He also, to Rose, looked kinda cute- Wait, What! I didn't just think that a colt was... um No! I must just be getting a cold. Yea, thats it! a cold... Thought Rose blushing. The colt shyly totted to the front of the class.
“Um.. hi” The colt rubbed his foreleg shyly. 'God's he's adorable... ' Rose sighed dreamily. But then realized what she was doing and shook her head. 'Whats gotten into me!? ' Cherilee noticed Roses blush and smiled like a knowing mother.
“My names, um... Light Shine, or just Shine is fine. If that's okay with you, that is. I'm five years old. My father works for the Equestrian Royal Air-force, on a Zeppelin Air-ship. And my mother owns a small flower shop down the street. And my dream is to one day be an explore!” Shine said with pride, but quickly blushed and whispered. “thank you...” And trotted back to his seat.
After a few more kids it was Roses turn.
“Hi I'm Rose Sparkle or Rose Thunder. My parents haven't decided who's name I should take yet” Some of her classmates had confused expressions. Rose lifted a hoof. “I'll explain. You see I have two daddy's” Some of the class nodded in understanding. But a few (a very few) looked at her with disgust. Cherilee saw this and snarled like an over protective mother. Rose didn't notice any of this.
“But anyway. I'm five years old. My dad he's also a dragon” The class whispered among themselves saying how cool that was. Rose smiled. “he works around town and he's also a Prince of Equestria” Once again the class liked what she said. “my other daddy's a Wounderbolt. My dream is to become the best Princess that Equestira has ever had! Because grandma Celesta says that when I turn eighteen I can go into Princess training just like my aunt Twilight!”.Rose was painting at this point.
The class was completely silent. Rose started to frown. Until..
“That's Awesome ...” Whispered Shade, with a blush on his face. Rose too blushed from the complement. Then the rest of the class erupted in screams of epic excitement. Some even bowed down to Rose, which she though was to much. Cherilee smiled and even bowed herself.
“Then we, but your humble my little ponies, bow down to you; Oh! future Princess Rose Sparkle or Rose Thunder!” Cherilee giggled. Rose blushed and helped Cherilee up.
“Thank you, but you don't need to bow I don't want to be treated any differently. That's what daddy Spike says. ” Said Rose, smiling. Cherilee also smiled.
“Your modest, just like your father” Cherilee sighed. “just like your father...”
The rest of the day continued without much commotion. Miss, Cherilee taught about the history of Prance. Rose thought the lesson was fascinating, unlike most of her fellow classmates. Rose and Shade keep stelling glances towards each-other, only to turn the other way, blushing. During recess Rose and Shade were both to shy to talk to each-other. Hopeful that would change soon.
Latter that night Spike, Soarin and Rose sat around the dinner table eating. But, only after washing there hoofs of course.
Spike noticed Rose was unusually quite tonight. “Rose my dear, are you okay?”.
“Yes”.
Soarin spoke up. “Did you not have a good day at school?” He asked in worry.
Her head shot up. “Oh no! I had a great time!” She giggled and they relaxed. “Miss, Cherilee was a very good teacher and hopefully I made a new friend!”.
“Yea, I'm sure that your dad Spike knows all about Cherilee being a good teacher” Soarin teased. Spike blushed and looked away.
“You had Miss, Cherilee too dad?”.
“Oh yea. Spike has had Miss, Cherilee many a times!” Soarin laughed, falling onto his back. Spikes head shot up, apple red.
“For the last time! I was seventeen Soarin, nothing happened between us. In that kind of way!” Spike was blushing madly.
“I know.. haha . Its just.. ha .. your to easy, bro!” Soarin continued laughing. Spike rolled his eyes. Rose didn't know what the heck was going on, but she just went back to eating. Spike turned his attention back to his daughter and smiled.
“So Rose, you tell me that you might have made a friend. Whats her name?” Spike took a sip of water.
“Oh dad, he's not a she..” She giggled insolently. Spikes eyes widened In fear. “.. he a colt named Light Shine”.

Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
Hearts & Harems
Soarin's Scales 2 Hearts & Harems
The first week of school pasted by without much event.
Rose and Shine started talking more and more each day. Soon the two became fast friends, and played every day on the playground. Rose also got along well with the other children, she even made a few more new friends. Most of whom were filly’s, much to Spikes relief. Also, Roses and Cherilees friendship grew. Over the week Rose started seeing Miss Cherilee not as a teacher, but as a mother figure. Sure she was happy having two daddy's, because before Spike and Soarin she had no one. But, being selfish or not, a mommy would be nice too.
But Rose didn't know how in the world that could ever happen...
Until during class on Friday. Rose had learned about an old pony noble long ago who had ten wife's! This shocked her, but also made Rose curious. So she listened carefully.
As the lesson went on Rose learned a lot about pony society. It turns out that the mares to stallions ratio in Equestria has a huge difference. Mares outnumber stallions 5 to 1, so that's why many stallions create herds, or polyamory relationships as it was called. Where there is one or two stallions and many mares living together as a family.
After the lesson, Rose started thinking on how this information could help with her mommy problem. She already had two daddy's, but she only wanted one Miss Cherilee to be her mother. Not some other random mares. So she wondered if a herd could work with two daddy's and only one mother.
It could be possible, right? I mean, Rose looked everywhere in her aunt Twilight’s library, but couldn't find any record of a herd having only one mare. But that didn't stop Rose.
So for the rest of Friday, Rose and with the help of Shine, thought up a plan on how to get Cherilee as her mother. The little filly knew that her daddy Spike liked Cherilee because of the way he would blush around her, and she knew that Cherilee liked her dad because of the way she looked at him when her daddy's would drop her off at school. And as for her daddy Soarin... well he could learn to love Miss Cherilee the same way dad dose in time. Hopefully.
So on Saturday with her plan created, she and Shade put it into action.
At that moment; Rose was nearly dragging her daddy's threw town. Ponies looked at there newest Princess with odd expressions, wondering what made the usually shy little filly to be so active. Spike and Soarin were both wanting to know the same thing too. She told them that there was something very important that they needed to see right away, but didn't say anything other than that.
But in truth she was leading them to Cherilee.
“Rose my dear, please tell me again where we are going”.
“Yea Rose, this could be time well spent on eating pie or listening to music” Soarin rubbed his hoofs. “not trotting around the entire town. Gods my hoofs are killing me!”.
“You know you can fly right?” Spike raised an eyebrow. Soarin looked behind himself and blushed. Flapping his wings he took to the sky, then came back down. He was now floating in midair.
“I knew that”.
Rose rolled her eyes. As much as she loved her daddy's silliness, there was no time for that now. She had a mission to complete.
'Hopefully Shine has completed his part of the plan ' Thought Rose, feeling a little worried.
* * *
(Half an hour earlier)
Shine knocked on his teachers front door. After few seconds pasted the door opened to revile Miss Cherilee. Cherilee looked down at her student with a surprised expression.
“Hi Miss Cherilee. How have you been?” Shade whispered. Cherilee smiled.
“I'm doing just fine Shine. But might I ask why you are at my house on a Saturday. You should be out playing, maybe even playing with Rose ?” She winked. Shine blushed and hid behind his brown mane.
“Um... I-I..” Shine stopped babbling when Cherilee giggled.
“I was just playing with you Shine. Now, can you tell me why your here?”.
“Um.. yes” Shine stepped back and held out a hoof. “could you walk me to Suggercube Corner, please” He gave her the puppy dog eyes, making Cherilees heart melt. She had always had a soft spot for children giving her the puppy eyes.
“That's not really an answer, but okay I will” She closed her door. “and even though you walked all the way here by yourself” She rolled her eyes playfully and took his hoof.
“Thank you Miss Cherilee. You wont regret it, I promise”.
And with that Shine and Cherilee made there way to Suggercube Corner. With Cherilee completely unaware of the plan.
* * *
Soarin, Spike and Rose soon arrived at her planed destination. Suggercube Corner. Rose stopped at the door, making her daddy's stop as well. She looked to the window. The curtains opened to revile the face of Shine. The colt nodded once: that was the signal. She turned to her daddy's with a smile.
“Um, Rose I don't think that there open today” Said Soarin.
“Your daddy's right dear. And also aunt Pinkie Pie doesn’t live here anymore if that's why you wanted to come here” Added Spike. “she lives down the street with her coltfriend Cheese Sandwich, remember”.
“Oh! I know that daddy's” She held open the door. “but if you both could just come inside for a little second then that would make my day!” She smiled insolently.
Spike and Soarin both looked at each-other. Then Soarin backed away a few steps. His eyes growing sharp, like something was about to pop out and eat him.
“This isn’t a trap is it?!” Soarin held up his hoofs, ready for a fight. “because I've seen filly's of the corn ten times, and that crap is not about to happen to me!”.
Spike rolled his eyes and Rose giggled.
“Of course not daddy, please come inside” She smiled, but on the inside she was supper nervous.
Taking a breath Spike and Soarin trotted inside.
* * *
The entire first floor of Suggercube Corner was dark. Excluding the one table that had a candle, with three chairs in the middle of the restaurant. Also, at the table was a just as shocked and confused Cherilee.
“Um.. hi” Said Cherilee.
“Hi yourself” They replied.
Nothing but awkward silence followed. Seeing that the adults weren't going to make the first move, Rose made it for them. She pushed Spike and Soarin with all her might to there chairs, they both took there seats just as Shine shyly trotted up, dressed in a little black tuxedo. He hoped onto an extra chair and took out a notepad and pin with his wings.
'He's so adorable! ' Rose thought, giggling inwardly like a school filly.
“Um.. Hi I-I'm Shine, and I w-will be your waiter this evening. What w-would you like to drink?”.
Cherilee completely forgot about the awkward moment and smiled at cute little colt.
“Oh! You are just adorable Light Shine. I've got to make sure to take a picture of you latter!” She squeaked.
Shines blush darkened. He hid behind his mane.
“What would you like to drink?” He whispered.
“Well, I'll have a bear” Said Soarin, deciding to play along. Shades eyes widened.
“Um.. would some Ice Tea be better?” The colt grinned sheepishly.
“Sure, whatever” Shade nodded and turned to the dragon.
“I'll have a water please” Said Spike. Shine nodded and turned to his teacher.
“I'll take a water too” She glanced at Spike. Soarin noticed this and moved a little closer to his drakefriend.
Shine wrote all this down and trotted back to the kitchen.
Spike, Soarin and Cherilee all looked at each-other in silence. Spike offered up a smiled and Cherilee happily returned it. Soarin just looked to his daughter.
“Rose, whats going on?” All the adults turned towards her.
Rose blushed under there gazes. “Well, I just...” She lost her words.
'How am I supposed to say this? Um hi Miss Cherilee I was just wondering if you wanted to be my mother. You know, If that's okay with my daddy's. ' Rose bowed her head. 'This was a dumb idea from the beginning ... ' But then Rose felt a gentle hoof on her shoulder. She looked up to the warm smile of Miss Cherilee.
“Rose, if theirs anything you need to tell us you can” Said Cherilee in a kind voice. Rose sniffed and smiled. That kind voice was one of the many reasons why she wanted Cherilee to be her mother. She looked over to her daddy's who had the same warm smile that Cherilee had. Spike and Soarin both nodded for her to continue.
With new found confidence Rose took a breath.
“Okay... so over this school week Miss Cherilee I have began to think of you not as a teacher or as a friend, but as a mother figure” Cherilee blushed and her eyes widened with shock. “your just so nice and kind. Your always there to help us students if we need it, and I know that its your job to help, but don't you ever think that for a moment that we don't appreciate it. And another thing, I've seen the way you look at my daddy Spike” Cherilee blushed and looked to Spike, who in return also blushed. Soarin just sat very quietly, listening to every word Rose had to say.
“And I know that daddy Spike blushes a lot when your around, so I figured that you two had some kind of hidden feelings for one another. So when you taught us that lesson about that old noble pony, who had ten wife's, I became intrigued on learning more. I learned about how many stallions will form herds because of the mares to stallions ratio in Equestria. But some herds have two stallions and many mares. We already have the two daddy's part down. Now all we need is a mare. And that's you Miss Cherilee” Once again Cherilee and this time Soarin and Spike also blushed. Rose took a breath as she continued the last stretch of her speech.
“Now, I also know that my daddy's love each-other with all there hearts, and that I'm being greedy by wanting a mother when I already have two wonderful fathers. But, don't you think that there's a little more room in your hearts daddy's for Cherilee? Because I know that she wouldn't complain” Rose gave Cherilee a wink as the little filly started to collapsed from exhaustion, only to have Shine catch her at the last moment. The drinks in his wings shattered to the floor though, but everyone was to caught up in the moment to care.
For what felt like the hundredth time that day silence fell upon the room. Spike and Soarin looked at each-other deeply. Then back to Cherilee, who was blushing adorably, but was also on the edge of her seat. She waited patiently for an answer.
Spike and Soarin huddled up.
“Are we really considering this. You know, forming a herd with Cherilee?” Whispered Soarin to Spike.
“Well.. I.. um-”
“Because I'm not complaining” Soarin cut in. Spikes eyes went wide, as Soarin smirked. “oh come on Spike, I know how you feel about Cherilee. The last couple of nights In your sleep you whispered her name” Spike felt disgusted in himself.
“I'm sorry. I shouldn't be thinking such thoughts.. I..I..” Spike looked away. “I'm a terrible drakefriend-”
Soarin once again cut him off with anger. “No! Your not!” His smiled returned. “your the best drakefriend I could have ever asked for. Spike, you saved me from depression. You let me stay at your house until I got back on my hoofs. And...” He blushed. “you showed me love again. I love you Spike Sparkle and I know you love me. But...” He pointed a hoof at Cherilee, who shyly smiled.
“You love her too”.
Spike saw the look in Soarins eyes and smiled knowingly.
“So, what happens now?” Cherilee asked, hopefully praying that they would say yes.
Soarin turned to Cherilee and winked. “I'm game. But, me and you Cherilee need to go out on a few dates to get to know each-other a little more. See if theirs a spark and such” She nodded smiling. “we both love Spike, that's a fact, and I'm willing to share him. If you are too?”.
Cherilee looked to both Spike and Soarin, tears in her eyes. 'This.. this is wonderful! Not only did I just come from single to in a relationship this fast, but I'm in a relationship with not one, but TWO males who care about me. And one of those males is the dragon who I love, the same dragon who I had to let go long ago ' Tears fell down her cheeks. 'But that's in the past because, Now no more lonely nights on hearts and hoofs day alone! No more eating out alone! No more... being alone all together. I have a family now. A drake who I love, a pegasus that I could learn to love, and an amazing daughter who brought us all together. What else could I say but... '
“Y-yes... Yes! I'm willing to share Spike!” Without warning she lunged herself across the table and into the hoofs and claws of her new coltfriend and drakefriend.
Rose smiled, as her and Shine unconsciously hugged. Both of them were to absorbed in the moment to notice.
Spike was the first to pull away from the hug. He looked down at Cherilee and smiled.
“Welcome to the family Cherilee”.
Author's Note
Welcome to the family Cherilee! After this story (there are still many! more chapters to go) I plan on writing a one-shot story, giving you all a little more back-story for Spike and Cherilee. But that might be a long time until then.
Cherilee is one of my favorite side ponies.
Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
Soarin's Scales 2 Crazy Night
The gate to the city of Canterlot opened and many ponies, including Soarin and Cheerilee, trotted into the capital of their country. The moon was out and the city's lights shined beautifully. Everything looked the same as the last time both ponies had visited the city, but there were a lot more guards posted around.
“That's odd” said Cheerilee. “Soarin why do you think there are so many Royal Guards around the city?”.
“I don't know” said Soarin, clueless. “Maybe there's another royal wedding going on”.
“I doubt that. Don't you think we would have been informed about such an event, being so close to Spike?”.
“I suppose so, but you never know” Soarin grinned. “So what do you want to do for our date?”.
Cheerilee hummed and tapped her chin. 'What to do, what to do. There are so many things to do in Canterlot, like: Fancy Restraints, Wine Testing, Movies, Dance- Oh! That' s it!'.
“Lets go dancing! Oh please Soarin!” she pleaded with her best puppy dog eyes.
Soarin hated dancing with a passion. Back in high school he did something very, very stupid during his prom dance, and he never got over it. But, he was a sucker for the puppy dog eyes.
“Finnnne” Soarin rolled his eyes.
Cheerilee squeaked with joy, and she began to pull them both to a dance club.
'This is going to suck' sighed Soarin.
As they both trotted inside the building, they didn't notice the four figures watching them from far away.
“When they leave we attack” said a Changeling. The others nodded.
* * *
Trotting inside, Soarin and Cheerilee looked around.
The dance club was named: The Kings , and for good reason. The owners of the dance club, were some underground street gang called: The Kings of Canterlot.
But back to the building itself: There was a dance floor in the middle and a bar on all sides. Flashing lights of all colors filled the room, and ponies sang, danced and drank all around them. Even a DJ was playing dub-trot and other kinds of music on his fancy, electronic phonograph.
Soarin gave a long whistle.
“Dang. This place sure is...” he couldn't think of a correct word to use.
“Amazing” said Cheerilee.
“Yea, that works: Amazing! This place is amazing!” said Soarin, as they both took a seat at the bar counter.
“You wanna know something cool? I used to work here before I became a teacher” said Cheerilee, smiling.
“No way. The nice, kind, sweet teacher: Miss Cheerilee, used to work at The King? ” Soarin raised an eyebrow. “I don't believe you”.
“Its true!” she grinned. “I even got the clubs official tattoo, under my coat”.
“Um... where at, under your coat?” Soarin gulped, with a beat of sweat running down his forehead.
Cheerilee blushed, but smiled seductively. She lined in close and whispered into Soarin'e ear.
“If you dance with me, then I'll show you latter on” she said, in a husky voice.
Soarin blushed and nearly fainted. 'I take what I said back. This is going to be awesome!...' he thought, grinning, as the pair made there way to the dance floor.
* * *
Back at the Sparkle household, Spike and Rose were listening to Soarin's records on his new phonograph.
“How about this one Rose. Should we listen to this one?” asked Spike, holding up a record.
“Whats the name of the record dad?” asked Rose, taking a sip of her milk.
“We Will Rock You, by Queen. Its an old song, but an awesome one” said Spike smiling, but then he sighed. “Gods, I'm getting old”.
“Your not old dad, your only twenty-one” said Rose with a smile.
“Thanks dear” Spike smiled and patted his daughter on the head. Rose giggled. “Now! How about I go and get us some Ice cream, and then we listen to some old Rock n' Roll!?” Spike grabbed the filly and tickled her belly.
“Yea!... Hahah!.. Ice Cream, sounds.. haha.. good!” cheered Rose, giggling.
Spike stopped his tickle attack, and put the record on, and then got off the couch and walked into the kitchen.
As the record started to play, Rose stopped giggling and calmed down and then returned to the couch. She drank her milk, waiting for her dad to return, but then..
*Smash!*
The windows to the living room were shattered, and three Changelings jumped inside. The first one had a bat. The second one had a knife, and the third had a crossbow.
Rose and the Changelings just stared at each other in surprise.
The first one leaned over to his friend.
“Are you sure that this is the right house? Because Strike didn't say anything about a kid”.
Roses shock faded away and she did the only thing that she could think of. She called her dad:
“DADDY!!!”.
The three Changelings covered their ears from the high pitched scream. Then! With amazing speed that could rival Rainbow Dash, Spike flew into the room and slammed right into, one of the Changelings, knocking him out cold.
The second Changeling was quick to recover from the shock and charged the dragon, with the knife in his magic.
Spike saw him coming and dodged the attack. Using his tale, Spike wrapped it around his attacker and flung him into the wall, knocking him out cold.
“Holy Shit! Strike didn't say anything about a dragon too!” said the third Changeling, in fear. “Oh buck this! I'm getting the hell out of here!”.
But before he could run, Spike grabbed his back legs. The Changeling dropped his crossbow.
Spike was easily taller than the Changeling on two feet, and he looked very angry. So angry in fact, that smoke came out from his nose.
Spike lifted the frightened Changeling to his eyes.
“I don't allow that kind of language in my household” said Spike, coldly. He then looked back to his daughter and smiled. “Rose dear, did you also hear this bug say a bad word?”.
The Changeling was practically begging for the filly to say no, but Rose nodded.
“Yes dad, he said lots of bad words”.
“How many did he say, my dear Rose?”.
Rose thought and then spoke.
“Hmmm... three”.
Spike turned back to the Changeling, and grinned like a mad dragon.
“Then that's how many times I'll hit him, adding onto the times I'll hit him for breaking into our house and scaring my daughter” The Changelings eyes widened.
“Rose, please be a dear and go to your room. Also, have you been practicing on your magic, like aunt Twilight told you?”.
“Yes”.
“Good...” Spike pulled back his fist. “Then place a sound proofing spell around your room. I don't want you to hear this”.
Rose nodded and trotted up the stairs, doing as she was told. The Changeling had tears in his eyes.
“Help me...” he squeaked, but only got a dragons fist to the face.
* * *
Soarin and Cheerilee laughed as they left the dance club. Both had a great time, and also a few drinks.
“Wow! You really suck at dancing!” said Cheerilee, giving the pegasus a shove, making Soarin stumble a little.
Soarin shoved back.
“Well, I tried to tell you! But you insisted that I dance anyway!” Laughed Soarin, and gave a drunk hiccup.
Cheerilee stopped them both in the street and she looked into Soarin's eyes. Soarin blushed, but keep his gaze firmly on her eyes. The moonlight shined down right on them.
“I know... and that's what makes you so sweet” she rested her head on his chest. “You do what other ponies want to do, even though you'll hate it. Your just like Spike”.
Soarin chuckled, and blushed from the close contact.
“W-Well, I try... but Spikes a lot better at the being sweet thing...” Soarin looked down at the smaller mare, and smiled warmly. “Besides... Its not like I didn't have fun. You were with me and that made all the difference”.
Cheerilee looked up and blushed. They both gazed into each others eyes, nether one looking away. Slowly, they brought their lips closer and closer, until...
They kissed.
A few buildings away, inside an old house, three ponies and a Changeling watched through binoculars.
The female Changeling gritted her teeth.
'Soarin, you no good, to timing, punk ass bitch! How dare you kiss that... that.. whore! Last thing I heard you were with a male, now I see you here cheating on said male with a mare. You make me sick. Your just the king of heart breakers aren’t you Soarin' thought Strike, warm tears falling down her cheek from the memory’s of her and Soarin.
She wiped her eyes and turned back to the train robbers/her new friends.
“Alright, get really to attack-”
“Strike!”.
Just then, one of her Changeling mercenary’s crashed through an old window. He looked scared out of his mind and out of breath.
“What is it, Zenth, and where are the other three?”.
“The.. *pant* .. others... *pant* .. were captured by a... dragon!”.
Strikes eyes widened. She pointed a hoof at the train robbers.
“You said that Soarin lived with a male, not a dragon!” she showed her fangs.
All three backed away. Long-run and Zoom pushed Gold to the front. He looked back and glared at them.
“W-Well Strike... If we told you that he was a dragon, then you might have been less... motivated to attack...” chuckled Gold, sheepishly. "And also, the dragon is a male... so... yea...".
Strike punched Gold in the jaw. The stallion fell to the ground with a thud. Zoom rushed to his side and even Long-run looked taken aback by the violence.
“Next time you better give me all the information, before! We make a plan” she turned back to the window, and saw that Soarin and that mare had already left. She slammed her hoof into the wall.
“Ahhh!!!” she screamed to the heavens, but then calmed down and sighed. “I will have my revenge Soarin... even if its the last thing I do...”
Author's Note
Soarin's and Cheerilees first date and kiss! Also, I was SO tempted to write that Rose took a flower pot and smashed it over a Changelings head... but I decided ageist it.
Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play
Sebastian the Butler
Soarin's Scales 2: Childs Play Sebastian the Bulter
We currently find ourselves inside the Sparkle household.
The Royal Guards were there and Spike was telling them the entire situation that had taken place the night before. Soarin was yelling at the bloodied and hoof-cuffed Changelings, and it was taking three guards just to hold him back from killing the frightened bugs.
Cheerilee sat with Rose on the couch and was playing dolls with her. Rose seemed fine though, but Cheerilee just wanted to comfort her new daughter and just make sure.
Just then a bright flash enveloped the entire room, and Princess Celestia was left standing in the middle of the living room. A look of fear upon her face.
"Grandma!" exclaimed Rose.
The little filly jumped off the couch and ran into the hoofs of Celestia. The Princess had tears in her eyes and she squeezed the little filly tightly.
"Oh! Rose. I'm so glad that your safe!" Celestia looked around and saw her son. "Spike!". Celestia placed her niece onto her back and ran to her son. She pulled the drake into a hug. "Are you okay?!".
"I'm fine mom, really" laughed Spike, as he returned the embrace.
Celestia looked up and saw Soarin, but also noticed a mare. Celestia used her magic to pull Soarin into the hug. "I'm so happy that you three are safe..." she looked at the mare. "Now then, who is this?".
Spike and Soarin backed away and gulped. They really didn't want Celestia to faint again.
"That's Miss Cheerilee, grandma. Shes my new mommy!" cheered Rose, giggling.
Everypony's eyes in the room went wide for many different reasons. Celestia's mouth went agape.
Very slowly, Celestia used her magic to place Rose onto the ground, and then her eyes rolled to the back of her head....
Princess Celestia, the grand ruler of Equestria, had once again... fainted.
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
One month pasted and Celestia had gotten used to the idea of her son in a polyamory relationship. But she still feared for her son's family's safety. She feared that more Changelings would return. The Royal Guards still couldn't figure out why they attacked in the first place. The one's that were captured refused to talk.
But moving on. Celestia still felt uneasy with her dear sons family so far away. So she gave them a house in Canterlot. Very close to the castle.
It was a large noble house, with many fancy decorations. It was renamed "The Sparkle Manor". Normally the rich nobles would be outraged that two commoners were moving into their part of Canterlot, but once they found out that it was their Prince and his family. They shut the hell up, very quickly.
They day that the Sparkle family left Ponyville was a sad day for everypony. Especially for little Shine, who cried right after Rose was on the train and far away.
He didn't want her to see him cry.
So that's why we find ourselves in Canterlot. With Spike, Soarin, Cheerilee, and Rose all standing at the gate to their temporary new home.
The entire family's mouths were agape with awe.
"W-Were going to live... here?." asked Cheerilee, her eyes wide.
"Yep." replied her family.
Rose was the first to recover and she rushed into the house, giggling.
"Look! there's an upstairs too!" cheered Rose, running up the large staircase.
Spike placed his suitcase onto the ground.
"Be careful Rose!" He turned to his coltfriend and marefriend. "Well I guess that we get un-packed."
Cheerilee smiled and nodded. Soarin on the other hoof sighed.
"Yea. You two do that, and I'll go hit the city!~" Soarin was just about to fly out the door, but Spike grabbed him by the tail.
"Come on Soarin! you promised that you would help unpack!" Said Spike, trying to keep the pegasus from flying away.
"Yea! I like saying things more than I like doing them!" screamed Soarin, flapping his wings harder.
"Cheerilee baby, help please" asked Spike.
The mare nodded and calmly totted over to the door and closed it. Once done, Spike let go of Soarin and the pegasus flew head first into the thick wooden door.
"Ah! buck..." Soarin rubbed his head and looked up to his family, with an evil glare. "I hate you all".
Spike and Cheerilee laughed.
"Ahhh!" screamed Rose.
The three turned to the staircase and watched as Rose galloped down the stairs. The filly looked like she seen a ghost.
"Rose whats wrong?" Cheerilee asked, with great worry.
The filly rushed behind he father Spike. She pointed to the stairs with a shaky hoof. Every so slowly an older brown and gray stallion, wearing a black and white tux trotted down the stairs.
He had the greatest poker face that Soarin had ever seen.
After the shock vanished, Spike gripped his claws.
"Who are you!" Spike pointed a claw. "Are you working with those Changelings that attacked us?!".
The stallions expression did not change. He stopped in front of the family and bowed. That confused everypony.
"I am Sebastian. Your new butler that was ordered by your mother to serve you, my lords" he stood up, but did not smile. He rolled his eyes. "And I would never 'hang around' as the kids say, with those kind of fellows".
The stallion was creepy, calm, and boring. The complete opposite of Soarin.
Spike could really enjoy having this guy around.... If only to piss off Soarin.
Spike smiled. "Hello I'm Prince Spike, and this here's my family. My coltfriend Soarin, my marefriend Cheerilee, and my daughter Roseline-"
"I like to be called Rose" interrupted Rose.
Spike nodded and held out his claw. "Welcome to the family, Mr Sebastian."
Sebastian looked at Spike claw and then back up to the drakes eyes. He nodded once and bowed. Then once getting back up, Sebastian looked at Rose.
"I am most sorry for frightening you, my young mistress" He turned to the entire family. "I will prepare dinner, my lords and lady's". And with that Sebastian left the room.
The Sparkle family looked at each other. Then at the same time...
"I like him!" screamed Spike and Cheerilee.
"I hate him!" screamed Soarin and Rose.
But never the less, Sebastian was here to stay....
