Spike And The Alicorn Sammich 2
Preface

Dear, Cadence & Shining.

Sorry for not writing in awhile, but the girls and I have had our claws and hoofs full these last few months. I mean, if its not Luna's mood swings or royal business, then it's Twilight and Celestia's bickering about our new child's name. We don't even know if its male or female yet! Well anyway, I just feel its time for a little vacation you know. So I talked it over with the girls and we decided to stay in the Crystal Kingdom for a few weeks if that's alright with you two. Celestia said it'll be fine, but I just wanted to make sure.

Looking forward to your reply,
- Love, Spike, Luna, Twilight, & Celestia.

Dear, Spike.

Me and Shining were just overjoyed upon reading your letter and would be very delighted that you and the girls would come and stay with us. Things here have still been.... complicated to say the least and your company would be a welcomed change, for me and Shining. Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing you all real soon.

With love, Cadence & Shining Armor.

A Few Days Latter....

Spike, first King of Equestira, lay upon a feathered bed with his wives around him, panting heavily with smiles adorning their faces. Now, I know what your thinking, but this moment of bliss isn't from hours of love making, but actually from hours of stressful packing for their trip to The Crystal Empire.

It was decided by the harem, with much convincing for Luna and Celestia, that the others of the main six would take over as temporary rulers for the next few weeks. Twilight and Spike knew their friends could handle anything, but still feared the cost of castle damage knowing Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash's party habits.

The sound of the train whistle blew, waking the relaxing family from their moment of peace. Spike then noticed one mare missing from his claws. So, opening his eyes he found Twilight trotting around their cabin with a check-list in her magical glow. Luna and Celestia also looked up too.

“Twilight, what are you doing?” asked Spike, yawning.

Not looking up from the paper, Twilight answered. “Just making sure we have everything before we leave.”

Celestia sat up and stretched, arching her back with a pop.

“Twilight, I personally made sure to double check everything before we left the castle. Nothing was left behind, I assure you” the alicorn said with a smile.

“Yeah, and it doesn't matter now anyway,” Spike rolled his eyes and pointed a finger at the window. “The train has already left the station.”

Twilight's head jerked up and she blushed. “Oh yeah...” she smiled shyly. So making the check-list vanish with a flash, she trotted back to the bed. Curling up next to her drake, she closed her eyes. Celestia and Luna cuddled closer too as Spike wrapped them all together with his wings.

Spike opened one eye and raised a brow.

“Luna, you're being awfully quite? You OK?” a hint of concern in his voice.

“I am fine,” was her reply.

The drake sighed and closed his eyes. Luna's mood swings were one thing Spike would never understand. One moment she's happy, the next she's depressed. He was almost begging for their baby to come out already. Then he could have his normal Luna again.

Spike shooked his head slightly and cleared his mind of all the stressful thoughts of back home. 'This is going to be great. Don't worry about anything Spike. Best vacation ever!' he thought with a mental smile. But, deep in the dark pits of his mind, he wasn't so sure.

Quietly, the harem slept as the train continued down the tracks to its destination....

Meanwhile In The Crystal Castle....

I'm sick and tired of hearing your crap, Shining!” screamed Cadence, using her magic to throw another priceless object at the accused stallion.

Being quick, thanks to all his military training, Shining Armor was able to dodge the attack. Still, it was a close call. Then, jumping behind a desk, he yelled to her. “I keep telling you that I didn't cheat! I even have guards who can prove it. I just want back in the bed Cadence!”

“Oh yes, because I'll believe YOUR guards! If you want someplace to sleep, then how about with that other mare, or better yet, you can sleep in Tartarus, you lying jerk!”

Grabbing an antique shield from off the wall, she sent it flying at him. The force of her throw was enough to implant the piece of metal into the hard wood of the desk.

Shining's eyes widened. She was out for blood.

Realizing that this was going nowhere and that he might be killed tonight, Shining quickly dashed out of the bedroom when he had the chance.

The two guards outside the door were slammed against the wall and knocked out cold as the stallion ran out. In truth, it was their fault for trying to listen in on personal matters.

The door closed, leaving an angry Cadence behind. Cadence's face was blood red and it took a moment to calm down. But, once she caught her breath, it only got worse. She fell on the bed and completely broke down into tears.

Ever since she found out about her husband's unfaithfulness Cadence has been a train wreck. Not doing her mane, barely sleeping or eating, and unable to work, she left all her royal business to her nobles. All she has been able to do these past few months since Spike's wedding was stay in her room and cry.

The kingdom was divided on the strangest thing for a country to be divided on; whether their King did or did not cheat. Which was incredibly embarrassing for Cadence. Even political parties loyal to ether side had been formed. No violence had happened so far, but for how long that will last, no pony could say.

The only good thing in Cadence's life lately was the letter from her step-sister, aunts, and of course... Spike.

“P-Please *sniff* get here s-soon,” she sobbed into her pillow. She really needed somepony right now.

Exhausted from the fight and crying, the heart-broken mare turned off the lights with her magic and whimpered silently to herself as sleep soon took her.....
