Spike's Dreamscape
Spike sat on the top of a small hill looking far off into the distance admiring how the mountains dwarfed the rolling foothills which seemed endless, while thin clouds danced harmoniously above. “This is truly beautiful”. He said to himself in a low peaceful tone.
“It really is”. Said a feminine voice in a near whisper. Spike slowly lowered his gaze to meet that of a cyan Pegasus lying on his lap.
“And so are you ”. He whispered lowering his head to hers. She lifted her head up slightly locking him in a deep passionate kiss. She reached her hoof up to his face, rubbing his radial splines; pulling him into a deeper kiss. They continued to kiss for several minutes; breaking for air Spike stared lovingly into her large ruby eyes. Rainbow Dash sat up pulling spike with her.
“Fly with me big boy” . She whispered in a playful loving and seductive tone. Spike followed with a large toothy grin. They flew around doing tricks, dives and swoops enjoying each others company before entering her cloud home. He had always loved being this high off of the ground looking down on the lands below feeling like he was a king, superior to all. “I have a surprise for you”. She said in a sultry tone.
“I wonder what it is”. He said going along with her game.
“Follow me”. She said give him a seductive glare. They entered her room which to no surprise was mostly clouds. Her bed was covered in a sheet that had her cutie mark on it with a few of old wonder bolt posters on the walls. She turned around to face him; propping herself up on her hind legs she placed her hooves on his chest. Spike wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close. They both closed their eyes, falling into another deep passionate kiss. “Now let's have some fun”.She whispered while slowly pulling away from his lips. Laying him down on the bed, she sat upright on his stomach just about where his crotch is. “Close your eyes”.
Spike obeyed and closed them tight. Nothing happened until he felt wind rushing. He began to flutter his eyes; there was nothing but darkness until he saw the ground closely approaching. Screaming wildly he braced himself before impacting the ground with a solid thud.
Reality
“Oh man what the hell”. He mumbled, slowly opening his eyes. Spike had fallen to the floor with the lower half of his body still in bed. He moved his eyes lazily around his room; looking up he saw the tip of his tail levitating in front of him. He smiled before righting himself; he stood up, yawning and stretching. “OW”! He yelped. Cringing he remembered the damage he had done to his wings.
Twilight was reading downstairs when she heard the commotion coming from his room. She decided to check on her assistant; she trotted down the hallway and slowly opened his door.“Hey Spike are you oka...”? She was at a loss for words as she saw that not only the drake was awake but so was his friend. “Umm Spike”. She asked in a tone that continually elevated.
“Mornin Twi, what's up ”? He said groggily while rubbing his eyes.
Twilight motioned for his crotch while covering her face to hide a growing blush.
Spike followed her motions; he slowly dropped his gaze down to his waist. His eyes bugged instantly; realizing the situation that he was in he reached for his blanket in an attempt to cover himself. “OH MY GOSH TWI I'M SORRY I HAD THIS DREAM ABOUT DASH THEN...”. She cut him off there.
“Look just make sure that you cover yourself whenever you......wait”. She lowered her hooves. “Did you say Dash as in Rainbow Dash”? She stated as her eyes grew wide.
Spike’s pupils shrunk to near imperceptible slits while his cheeks glowed in mix of purple and rose. “N..no..” He said defensively.
“But you just said Dash; we only know one pony with that alias”. Twilight said while giggling. Spike gulped loudly. “What was the dream about”! she asked with excitement that could only match Pinkie's.
“Nothing”. He replied in a rapid embarrassed mumble.
“Fine I wont force you to tell me”. She said with a little smirk.
“Thank you”. He sighed backed on his bed clutching his blanket.
"Well I went to the spa and picked up some medicine for your wings. Just put it in your bath and relax". She said while placing a bottle on a nearby shelf.
“Thanks”. He replied in a low defeated tone.
“Hey”. She said as she began to walk over to him. Getting up on her hind legs she looked him in the eyes and told him. “I’m only teasing because I think it's cute that you have a crush on Rainbow Dash. I don't want you feeling pressure from a little teasing okay?”
“Thanks Twi”. He said in a near whisper.It feels like more than a crush.
“Good”. She started walking toward the door. “Oh and another thing, you should probably take care of that tent your pitching there”.
Spike looked down realizing that the blanket didn't help at all .“Oh come on”. He exclaimed, crossing his legs
Twilight giggled then left the room. Spike usually avoided anything that aroused him, but that dream felt so real and right. He shook his head thinking that either he hit the ground to hard yesterday or just a few minutes ago when he woke up. Walking into the bathroom spike looked in the mirror and began to admire himself. He never knew why but when it came to mirrors and him he couldn't help himself flexing and contorting his muscles. Turing on the bathwater he mumbled the instructions to the bottle of medicine.
Meanwhile downstairs Twilight was getting breakfast ready. She wasn't that bad of a cook anymore, but she still had her moments.Twilight stood thinking intently to herself. I wonder what was Spike dreaming about had that made him get so exited. I mean WOW he is not small anymore he really has grown. She used her magic to pour a cup of tea. I feel bad for whoever has to take that thing when he gets real worked up. Maybe they'll like it. She levitated the cup to her mouth before a loud audible crash was heard. Looking at a window that had shattered Twilight sighed as rainbow streaks careened throughout the library.“Ugh Not this shit again”. She groaned; using her magic to capture the supersonic pegasus she held her in place. “Honestly I should put a bulls-eye on the Library so you can have a little target practice. I mean why is it always a window why not a door, or a wall”! She said in a frustrated tone.
“Heh sorry”. Rainbow Dash said sheepishly.
“What where you doing anyway?!” Twilight screamed.
“Well” Rainbow Dash started. “I was in Cloudsdale helping collect some stray clouds when I forgot to return my Daring-Do books so I rushed to get here”. She said with a chuckle.
“I admire the fact that you wanted to return your book on time but, you, little lady, need to work on breaking”! Twilight scowled.
“I'm Rainbow Dash I don't brake for nothin”. She proudly announced.
Twilight dropped Rainbow Dash on the ground.
“OOF!” she gasped with a thud
“Well since you made the mess you get to clean it up”. Twilight authoritatively stated walking back to her cup of tea.
“WHAT! Oh come on Twilight it was an accident”. Rainbow Dash groaned.
“This ACCIDENT has happened more times than i can count”. She shot back. “Besides Spike will help you”.
“Spike?” Rainbow Dash asked with a lightened expression.
“Yeah Spike, you know the dragon who has been living here since we first came to Ponyville”. Twilight said while placing sipping her tea.
“Right heh, sorry”. She nervously answered while hiding her blush. Unfortunately Twilight noticed and giggled.
“What”? Rainbow Dash questioned.
“Nothing just thinking about a joke Pinkie told me”. She answered.
“What's the joke”? Rainbow Dash asked with a raised brow.
“It's an inside joke”. Twilight answered while placing some steaming hay on one plate and hour rubies on another.
“Riiiiight.... So where is he anyway”? Rainbow Dash asked.
“He's upstairs taking a bath”. Twilight responded while looking back at Rainbow Dash who started to blush slightly.
Spike in the shower.“Is he okay”? Rainbow added quietly.
“What do you mean”? Twilight asked.
“Remember yesterday”? She said even quieter.
“Oh” Twilight gasped “that's why he is taking a bath. I got him some medicine for his wings”. She explained.
Rainbow Dash sat silently with her head down.
“It isn't your fault; he was hurt because of his own mistake”. Twilight said while slowly turning to her.
“He wouldn't have gotten hurt it I didn't push him to do it”. Rainbow dash said quietly.
“Look, he did it on his own; he wanted to do it to impress you. Besides he is okay, it's just wing cramp; they'll heal in a few days. He doesn't blame you and he is one hundred percent healthy, okay”? Twilight explained.
“Okay”. Rainbow Dash said with a bright smile.
“See nothing to worry about”. Twilight said with a reassuring smile.
“When do you think he'll be done”? Rainbow asked while trying to steal a pancake.
“I Honestly don't know, but that doesn't excuse you from the mess you made, so start cleaning”. The alicorn declared while levitating the pancake away from Rainbow Dash's mouth.
A sigh followed by a mumble was all that dared slip out of the cyan pegasus as she began to straighten up the library. “Are you gonna help”? She asked while picking up shards of glass.
“Yes”. Twilight responded while sipping her tea. “After I eat”.
Rainbow Dash mumbled grumpily before continuing.
Spike was still upstairs relaxing as the hot bathwater was soothing his aches and pains away. He sat and thought about the two dreams and how they were vividly different. In one he lost her yet in the other he had her to himself. He slowly rose out of the bathtub and began to dry using his fire. He hated using a towel because the fabric would always get caught in his scales and was near impossible to remove. Double checking himself, he made sure every scale was in place. He walked out of the bathroom into the ruined main-room of the library. He looked around in shock as he saw Twilight at the door speaking to someone and Rainbow Dash was cleaning. His gaze dropped upon her as he chuckled inwardly. “Hey Twi did Rainbow Crash come though the window again!” He shouted causing Rainbow Dash to drop a few books in surprise.
“Oh ha ha; should I bring up a plate of dirt. You look like you're hungry”. She quipped back. Spike chuckled before calmly walking down the stairs.
“Good morning Spike”. Twilight said while closing the main door. “Would you mind helping us; well after you eat of course”.
“Okay, will do”. Spike answered. He day down to eat taking down rubies, pancakes, and hash browns heartily. It didn't take to long for him to finish; cleaning up his mess he joined the two mares. They were cleaning and reorganizing for about two hours. Spike was taking occasional glances at Rainbow Dash thinking about how cute she was with a small frown glued to her face.
“And done”. Twilight said with a satisfied sigh.“Now I have to go and get a new window”. She began to trot away until she turned around. “Oh and Spike. Apple Jack needs your help covering the trench we found you in.”
“Damn” he muttered “when”?
“Before dark”. She said walking out of the door.
Spike and Rainbow Dash stood stock still in the library, surrounded by awkward silence.
“Soooooo”. Started while scratching there back of his head. “What did you do today”?
“Nothing but returning books and gettin chewed out by Twilight”. She said with a shy smile. The silence continued.“Are your wings okay”. She asked shyly.
“Better” he answered turning to show his back “that bath helped out but I wont be able to fly for a few days”.
“Well” she started looking into his eyes. “The sky is gonna be lonely without you”. She said before hugging him tightly. Even though he was a dragon his scales were always so soft and smooth.
“Don't worry; I'll be back up there with you before you know it”. He said while softly stroking her mane. He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes. He loved the way that her large ruby orbs showed a competitive and compassionate soul.
She began to blush and turn away smiling.“Well I should go before a storm hits”. She whispered before leaving his embrace walking away slowly.
“Bye”.He said watching her flank becoming mesmerized by the way her tail switched ans she walked. She noticed and began to blush.
“Bye Spikey”. She said before exiting ironically through the window she broke.
“Welp”. He said walking to the door.“Might as well go and help AJ”. He sighed exiting the library. Walking toward Applejack's farm he looked up and saw a rainbow streaking across the town. He took a deep breath and began his walk with a big smile.
