Twilight Sparkle The Newest Alicorn Princes Having Just Received Her Title Of “The Princes Of Friendship” Only Two Years Ago Was Still Causing Quite The Stir In Ponyville It Was Quite Hard For Ponyville To Cope With Not Only The New Title And Castle Of Twilight Sparkle But They Also Had To Recover From Her #1 Assistant Spike Leaving Her Only 4 Days After Defeating Tirek. “I Still Can’t Believe He Is Gone“. Twilight Thought To Herself Twilight Was Sitting On Her Bed In Her Room. She Did This Almost Everyday Ever Since The Day Spike Left. Twilight Was Holding A Picture Of Spike And Her Infront Of Canterlot Smiling While Enjoying A Picnic They Had Planned That Day. *Sigh* “Oh SpikeI Really Wish *Sniff* You Would Come *sniff* Back *Sob* I just….I Just Need My #1 Assistant Back”.Said Twilight Twilight Ended Up Crying Herself To Sleep Like She Does Everyday. She Was Useless She Couldn’t Perform Her Royal Duties Or Hang Out With Her Friends All She Did Was Stay In Her Castle And Cry.                                                                       Spike On The Outskirts Of Ponyville On Top Of A Lone Hill Sat A Dragon Deep In Thought. He Was Wearing Dark Dragon Hide Spaulders And A Dark Gold/Bronze Chest Plate Resembling That Of The Canterlot Royal Gaurd. “Heh...Two Years And Nothing Has Changed” Said Spike Spike Got Up And Started Heading Towards Ponyville Trying To Make Sure That No one Would See Him And Ruin The Surprise. “Don’t Worry Twilight I’m Coming Home”. He Thought Twilight Twilight Was Suddenly Awoken From Her Sleep, Not That She Cared All She Ever Did When She Slept Was Dream About Spike. *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* “I’m Coming”. Said Twilight *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* “I Said I’m Coming!”Yelled Twilight “Whatever It Is Can It Not Wait Until…..” Said Twilight As She Opened The Door To See A Slightly Taller Dragon In Armour Standing There With A Smile That Could Rival Pinkie Pie’s. Her Eyes Went Wide Praying That She Wasn’t Asleep Or That This Wasn’t Some Cruel Joke “Hey Twilight”. Said Spike Her Eyes Were Moist On The Verge Of Tearing Up Her Heart Was Pounding As if She Was The Happiest Filly In Equestria “SPIKE!” She Screamed As She Slammed Into Spike’s Chest Tears Running Down Her Face Leaving Wet Lines On Her Fur “Hey Twilight I’m So Glad To Be Back I’ve Missed You So Much!”Said Spike “Spike *SOB*Where Have You Been *SOB*I’ve Missed You So Much No Letters No Word From You Or The Princess About Where Or How You Are I Thought You Were Dead*SOB*We All Did!” Yelled Twilight Spike Tightened The Embrace. “I Know And I’m Soooooo Sorry Twilight...But It’s Okay I’m Here Now And I’m not Leaving Anytime Soon” Said Spike END OF CHAPTER //-------------------------------------------------------// The Gang's Reaction //-------------------------------------------------------// The Gang's Reaction The Gang’s Reaction Last Time “SPIKE!” She Screamed As She Slammed Into Spike’s Chest Tears Running Down Her Face Leaving Wet Lines On Her Fur “Hey Twilight I’m So Glad To Be Back I’ve Missed You So Much!”Said Spike “Spike *SOB*Where Have You Been *SOB*I’ve Missed You So Much No Letters No Word From You Or The Princess About Where Or How You Are I Thought You Were Dead*SOB*We All Did!” Yelled Twilight Spike Tightened The Embrace. “I Know And I’m Soooooo Sorry Twilight...But It’s Okay I’m Here Now And I’m not Leaving Anytime Soon” Said Spike Spike Spike Held The Lilac Princes In Tight Embrace Afraid That If He Let Go She Would Slip Away. “Shhh...Shhh It’s Okay Twilight I’m Here For You. I Know It Must Have Been Hard I Know But That Doesn’t Matter Now Spikey-Wikey Is Here For You”. Said Spike “I Know *SNIFF*It’s Just You Were Gone For So Long And I Missed You I..Felt Lonely”.Said Twilight Spike Chuckled “Oh Twi If I  Didn’t Know Any Better I’d Say You Wanted Some Warmth In That Bedroom Of Yours”. Teased Spike Twilight Blushed A Bright Red Darkening By The Second “Oh Spike..Stop It”. Twilight ChuckledBetween Her Words “I’m Glad To See Your Humor And Charm Are Still There”. It Was Spike’s Turn To Blush A Bright Red Because Of His Friend’s Compliment “Anyways As Much As I Love Having You On Top of me We Should Get Inside” His heart Started To Beat Faster In His Chest As He Said Those Words And Stared At His Closest Friend On Top Of Him Continuing To Blush He Paused For A Minute. “Wait Why Did I Feel That Way When I Said That? I Always Tease Her Like That And I Never Felt….Man I Never Noticed How Beautiful She Is”Spike Shook his Head“WHAT WAS THAT THOUGHT? I mean Yeah She Is Beautiful But Why Am I Feeling Like This And Why Am I Blushing..”? Spike Shook His Head Again And Continued Walking Twilight “Wow Spike Has Never Said Something Like That To me”. Twilight Thought“And The Way He Said It It Sounded Like He Meant It…...NO NO Not Possible I Mean” She Sighed “Who Would Ever Like Me..” She Slightly Lowered Her Head “So Spike What Happened While You Were On Your Tip” She Said “Well I Hit A Growth Spurt” Spike Chuckled “Obviously” She Said With A Light Chuckle “Well...I Do Have..THESE!” Said SpikeAs He Expanded His Slightly Large Wings. As He Expanded His Wings A Gust Of Wind Swooshed Around The Room Making A Small Whistling Sound. Twilight Gasped“Spike….I..I..HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THOSE AMAZING WINGS!” Shouted TwilightWith A Hint Of Excitement In Her Voice “Well You Did Tackle Me To The Ground So I Assume You Couldn’t See Them” Said SpikeTrying To Hold The Laughter In After Seeing The Look On His Friends Face “Wow Spike I Mean They Are Big On You But Still...Wow”She Said As She Rubbed His Wings With Her Hoof Spike Moaned “Twi..” Spike Let Out A Small Gasp Twilight Removed Her Hoof Afraid She Hurt her Friend “OMG I’m So Sorry Are You Ok”? “Yea Im Fine They Are Just”Spike Panted “..Sensitive..” “Why Is Spike Acting So Strange I Know Wings Can Be Sensitive But Are Dragon Wings That Sensitive...Well He Seem To Enjoy It...Maybe...NO Let's Get That Thought Out Of Here Tight Now...Oh Well Maybe I'll Ask Him About Later.”? Thought Twilight Twilight Tried To Think Of Something To Change The Subject “So...How Do You Think Rainbow Dash Will React” Said Twilight “Ha Dashie? She Will Flip Out As Soon As She Sees Them Which Reminds Me Can You get Everypony Here? Don’t Tell Them I’m Here Though I Want It To Be A Surprise Plus..I Have One More Surprise For You As Well”. He Said With A Smirk Twilight Raised A Eyebrow “Oh?

Applejack Said “Oh..I Hope She Is Alright” Whispered Fluttershy “I’m Sure She Is Fine Darlings” Said Rarity *KNOCK* *KNOCK **KNOCK* Twilight Opened The Door Smiling At The Five Mares Infront Of Her “Hey Guys Glad All Of You Could  Make It Come On in” Said Twilight “Wow” Whispered Rainbow Dash“I Haven’t Seen her Smile In A While.” “I Know Thats Why Am Scared.” Said Applejack The Six Mares Made Their Way To The Main Room Of The Castle “Alright Darling What Was So Important That You Wanted All Of Us To Come Here At Once”? Said Rarity “Well I Wanted To Ask What Did Spike Mean To You Guys”? Asked Twilight The Mares Were A Bit Taken Back By This Why Did She Want To Know Right Now. Rarity Was The First To Speak Up. “Well Darling You Should Know What He Meant To Me He Had A Crush On Me And Did Everything And Anything  For My Happiness And Now I Realize How Much I Truly Love Him…” Said Rarity Followed Up With A Sigh Applejack Was The Next To Speak. “And He Helped Out Everyday On The Farm.

Thought Spike “Alright Alright While I love This Group Hug I Do Have 2 Surprises For You Guys.”Said Spike The Girls Blushed Slightly And Let Him Go. Spike Smirked And Expanded His Wings Once Again Causing A Gush Of Wind To Swoosh Through The Room. All Of The Mares Except For Twilight Gasped With Wide Eyes Rainbow Was The First To Speak “Spike You...You Got WINGS”? She Said Rainbow Started Inspecting His Wings Careful Not Touch Them Knowing How Sensitive Wings Can Be. “Yeah I Got Them During My Trip And...I Would Love For You To Train Me.” Rainbow’s Eyes Were As Wide As Saucers And Her Mouth Almost Touched The Ground. “You..You Want M..Me To Train You”? Asked Rainbow With A Slight Stutter “Of Course Who Else Other Then The Fastest Flyer In Equestria”? Asked Spike Rainbow Had A Heavy Blush on her Face And A Huge Smile. “Um Sure..Okay That Would Be….Awesome” Said Rainbow Spike Chuckled “Alright Big Guy You’ve Had Your Fun With Me Now Lets Switch The Roles Shall We”?Said Rainbow With A Smirk On Her Face Rainbow Flew Up To Spike’s Face And Planted A Kiss On His Lips. Rainbow And Spike Teased Eachother The Same Way Him And Twilight Teased Eachother Except They Take It One Step Further. Normally Spike Would Just Pull Away And Start Spitting And Choking Because Of The Kiss But This Time Spike Returned The Kiss. Rainbow’s Eyes Went Wide Again. “OMG He Returned The Kiss He Never Returns The Kiss Why Is He Doing That..Does He Like Me”? Thought Rainbow WHY AM I KISSING HER BACK! Screamed Spike In His Head “Because You Like Her.” Said A Voice In His Head “Wait..WHAT Who Are You”? Asked Spike “I Am The Smart Side Of Your Brain While You Do Use Both Sides Of Your Brain When You Speak Right Now You Are Conflicted With Your Feelings.” Said Smart Side Of Spike’s Brain “Um..Okay So What Do I Call You”? Asked Spike “You Can Either Call Me Your Sub Conscience Or You Can Me Smart Spike.” Said The Voice “Um Okay Smart Spike It Is.” Said Spike “Now Then Let’s Get Back To The Matter At Hand What You Are Feeling Is Called Love But A More Intimate Version Of Love.” Said Smart Spike “L..Love How Can..I Feel That Type Of Love Towards Them They Are Family To me.” Said Spike “Well I Would Say It’s Because You Were Gone For So Long And You Missed Them Alot That And The Fact That You Did Mature You Are Probably Just Seeing What They have To Offer Now.” Said Smart Spike “What They Have To offer Now...What Does That Mean?” Asked Spike “Their Beauty,Charm, Personality And Their….Warmth.” Said Smart Spike “THEIR WHAT! Whoah Whoah Slow Down There Brain Okay I’m Sure This Is Just Me Missing Them So Much I bet By Tomorrow The Feelings Will Be Gone..HELL The Feelings Probably Mean Nothing.” Said Spike “ Ooh Really..Then Why Are You Still Kissing Rainbow”? Said Smart Spike “WAIT WHAT”? Yelled Spike Spike Snapped Back Into Reality To See He Was Still Kissing Rainbow Dash And That She Was...Moaning. Spike Quickly Broke The Kiss And Attempted To Apologize For His Actions. “Umm...I..I..S..I..Uhhhh..” Spike Stuttered And Fumbled On His Words “No..No..It’s..Umm Fine.” Said Rainbow Rainbow Had A Heavy Blush That Was Darkening By The Second. “Anyways...Uhh Right My S..Second Surprise Umm Twilight I Want You To Throw Something At Me.” Said Spike “What Why What Purpose Would That Serve”? Asked Twilight “Just Do It...Please.” Said Spike Twilight Looked Around For A Object Soon She Found A Apple And Levitated It With Her Magic. “Are You Ready”? Asked Twilight “Yea.” Said Spike Twilight Threw The Apple At A High Speed Towards Spike Only To Have It Stopped Right In Front Of Him. There Was A Dark Red Aura Surrounding The Apple And Spike’s Hand. Spike Moved The Apple Back And Forth With His Magic Trying To Suppress The Giggle Staring At His Friends Wide Eyes And Slack Jaw. “Spike….I...You..How..You Have Magic”? Asked Twilight END OF CHAPTER
