I gota Go

Rarity awoke from her slumber sandwiched in sheets her mind fuzzy from the night before.

"Oh dear why do I have such vivid dreams" her yawning began "Oh well I got to go to work dresses don't sew themselves".

She raised her head to greet the day as her eyes focused to the harsh lights her nose was assaulted with the smell of antiseptic

the sheets starched white tasteless and sterile held her down, stretching her hooves she saw tubes in her fetlocks.

"Twilight Spike somepony?" she bleated like a worried sheep.

She pressed the bed side call button on her night stand next to it a purple and white set of roses sat tied with a red ribbon. 'My Spikey'.

A mule entered with a bed pan "Here it is you've been out for a while I bet you've got to go. . ."

"Thank you kind sir I was calling for a Doctor can you please fetch him if your able?" 'Fetch? Surely I'm not going apples in here?'

A fine MD entered the room dressed in the usual smocks and socks a clip board with a chart floating in the aura of the customary

magic of a unicorn. A stethoscope hanging out of a sandwich filled pocket customary of a total slob.

"Hello there miss I'm Doctor Mallard for the record can I have your full legal name?".

"I am Rarity...Rarity Filligre Thee Dragon, wife of Spike the Great Honorable Brave Glorious hero of the Crystal Empire, Sparkle "

Rarity continued "Rarity the Element of Generosity Counsel of Friendship Fashion knight of Equestria?" she paused for a breath

"You can call me Rarity the dragon mare".

"Shall I call you another Doctor for a mental evaluation? I have no time for your brand of outlandish humor."

Rarity raised a clawed hoof showing him a middle claw 'Spikey now I understand the benefits of a good claw'

Doctor Mallards staring at the claws that sent chills down his spine looked up to her smile it was different it was off

this mare had fangs!

Doctor Mallard slowly backed out of her room shaking and sweating like a new born intern on his

first day at Celestias Asylum for the Criminally Insane clothed only in a skimpy thong.

"Doctor? Doctor?" Twilight asked as she pushed his frozen body through the doorway back next to the

mare with the razor sharp teeth and claws.

" Doctor this is Rarity she was exposed to some shadow gems that were blasted by a unicorn attack. . .Doctor?"

He stared at the claws then slowly stared at Twilight then back at those sharp little claws he swallowed and looked back at Twilight

"I'm not ready for this - Does she bite?" Mallard continued "My brother was bitten by a dragon in Ponyville".

"She doesn't bite"

"Are you sure she looks a bit like a dragon"

"No I can assure you she hasn't harmed . . ."

"Attacked by unicorns? I got to go I have other appointments to make I'm not finished with my rounds".

The Doctor turned and fled out the door squeezing past another pink coated mare topped with lavender and purple curled locks.

"Sweetums I heard you were here I told you if you hung out with the wrong crowd this is what you could expect, Didn't I?"

"Mother".

"But no you had to pass on that Prince Blue Blood and what happened to that nice magazine writer Trenderscoop?"

"Mother, and it was Trenderhoof".

"Trenderspoof Trenderhoof what ever , Now all those tabloids have it you're seeing an Assistant to a Princess Spackle but what

does it say about the company you keep when that Princess has the gall to be sleeping with a dragon of all things under Celestias sun."

"Mother that dragons name is Spike"

"So that nasty beast has a name, Honey you look like a nice pegasus please tell my daughter that Princess Spackle or even a lovely mare

that has relations with a dragon is only asking for trouble. You can tell her the truth can't you?"

"Mother. . . That's Princess Twilight Sparkle her assistant is Spike the DRAGON and she . . ."

"And I am not sleeping with him and HE is the most reliable caring creature you will ever meet and YOUR daughter who has

had the displeasure to meet both the Royal pain and the Trendergoof, Rarity couldn't find a better coltfriend lover or husband then in

that loyal assistant I've had for almost as long as I've lived and besides you can't find a more devoted couple than in those two."

"My little Rarity and a dragon?"

"Yes mother".

"But your not married".

"Civil ceremony by her request".

"My little baby?"

"Mother he's going to be a wonderful father".

"A what?"

"Mother I'm going to be a mother too".

"Oh Celestia! why am I being punished? What could I of done to prevent this? All I wanted was for you to find that prince charming

a knight with a heart of gold or at least a Doctor with a lot of money, Living happily ever after But no you mock my dreams for you by

shacking up with a lizard that sleeps with a princess and does what ever dragons do! How could you do this to me!?"

"Oh mother".

"Oh look at the time I got to go!"

"Mother?"

"Mother will always love her Snookems, I got to go"

"Mother".

"That went rather well. . .I can see where you get your drama queen side from"

"Twilight!"

'Doctor Howard Doctor fine Doctor Howard"

-----------------*--------------

Spike awoke in the same magic isolation ward of Canterlot castles private hospital as he tried to look around all was dark

he spread out his arms and legs but something was in the way he felt the walls with his claws, This place was small he was on his back

curled in a ball with just enough room to breath and nothing much else.

'That's all I need is to have some joker put me into a box'. He pushed up on the lid with his claws it didn't budge

it was hard solid stone like 'They really built this box strong It's definitely a good prank' In the dark he tested every surface.

His thoughts went back to when he carried Rarity to the isolation ward and leaving her a set of roses when she fell asleep and the

stupid Doctors grabbing him to be stuffed into his own piece of isolation.

'Boring I could see Rainbow being stuck in here, She'ed climb the walls in a mater of minutes'

Spike turned his head to the right and saw a slight sliver of light he tried to reach it with his claw but he couldn't reach it

due to the boxes confines he turned his snout closer and slipped out his tongue feeling for a crack or anything to get more

light, his tongue slithering around he found a latch and turned it carefully.

A flood of light burst into Spikes box a small torn sheet laid on his belly a smashed light fixture on the ceiling

a crushed bed below he was still laying on his back in a ball a full sized dragon in a mare sized room.

An orderly looked at the giant green eye staring out from the darkened doorway "A little help please? I got to go".

Spike whimpered "I got to go to the little colts room, Please?"

The orderly looked down at his mop bucket "I Got to go and get a bigger bucket".
