Spikes mouth watered at the site of fresh muffins on the tray. He licked his lips and looked up at the mare who had pushed the cart full of sweet to their cabin with sparking eyes. He hadn't eaten since they left Canterlot a day ago.
“How much?” Spike pointed at the tray.
The mare blushed under the feral like gaze of the dragon. She was a shy mare, had always been, and having to serve the King of her country food was frighting. Let alone the fact that he was cute for a dragon.
“I-I... umm..” She cleared her throat. “Their f-free your Majesty.”
Spike grinned. “No kidding? Well then I'll take the whole tray.”
“He'll have ONE muffin and no more than that!” called a stern voice, Twilight's voice, from inside the cabin. “He needs to lose weight anyway!”
Spike rolled his eyes and puffed a ring of green smoke though his nostrils. He turned back to the mare and leaned in close, whispering. “Give me two” he winked.
The mares blue face turned blood red. She nodded and gave Spike two muffins. The drake ate the first one quickly, relived to finally having something in his stomach.
“Thank you so much, you saved my life!” Spike exclaimed., licking his lips. He then looked over the tray again and pointed. “But before you go I'll take three boxes of heart shaped candy's.”
She smiled. “Of course.”
After receiving his candy's Spike said goodbye to the young mare and closed the door. Walking back inside the cabin he held the boxes behind his back with a smile on his face.
Twilight, Celestia and Luna looked up from their various activates and quickly noticed Spikes odd behavior.
Twilight raised an eyebrow. “What did you do?”
Spikes smile dropped. “What? Can't I just smile at my beautiful wives?”
'Gosh I'm being corny today!' Spike thought.
They all looked at each other and nodded, then returned their gaze at Spike.
“Nope” they all said together.
Spike gave up and smirked. The drake pulled the boxes from behind his back, giving them a shake.
“Well I guess you don't want these the-”
The boxes of candy's were quickly taken from his claws by magic. Each of the mares quickly opened their boxes and dove right into the sweet treats. They all laughed and giggled at their dragons expense.
But Spike didn't mind. His eyes wondered to Luna, watching her laugh away and nearly choking on heart candy's, which only made her laugh more. It was good to see her happy again. He sometimes felt guilty having put Luna though the whole pregnancy thing. He would never understand her pain, but he wished she would open up more so he could help a little.
Spike sighed and shook his head.
“Alicorns.”
…..
The train pulled into Crystal Station with a loud screech. Then it came to a complete stop. The smoke cleared and the doors opened, but no one came in or out. They all waited for the Royal family to get off first out of respect.
Spike and the girls got off the train and looked around at everypony. Tons of crystal ponies were watching them quietly. Spike and Twilight blushed and waved, but Celestia and Luna were more used to this type of thing, having done it for thousands of years, and only waved.
“Hey whats the hold up! I got to this train-” The conductor stopped mid sentience once he noticed the royal family. Everyone then looked at him. Some with shocked faces. He blushed bright red and swallowed the lump in his throat. He took off his hat and bowed.
“P-please f-f-forgive me your-”
Luna raised up a hoof, her face expressionless. “You art forgiven. Be on thy way.”
He jumped up and nodded. “Yes your Majesty! Right away!” He ran back inside the train yelling “Why didn't anyone tell me the royal family were on MY train. I'm the bloody conductor!”
Once he was gone Luna gave a small smile and admired her hoof. Looking at Spike and Twilight out of the corner of her eye she winked. “Its easy. With practice of course.”
They both grinned as the harem began to make their way to the Crystal Castle. Once out of the station the ponies returned to their business.
Celestia rolled her eyes at her sisters actions. “Oh please Lulu, he only did what you said because your a princess. Not because of some acquired skill.”
Celestia stopped and so did the group. She looked around for a moment, then smiled. Pointing at a stallion walking by she called. “You there!”
BlueGraint stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head, only to see Princess Celestia speaking to him! He held his breath in awe. She was the most beautiful mare he had ever seen. She stories of Celestia did not do her justice. He was so entranced that he did not even notice the others of the harem.
“Yes?” He asked, eyes wide.
“I need you to go out of the city and pick every single flower for me. It is urgent and must be done!”
He didn't even respond before saluting and running towards the city exit. Even Celestia was a little surprised.
“Well...” She turned back to her sister and smirked. “There you see. I've made my point.”
With her head held high Celestia trotted ahead of the group. Luna mumbled to herself then joined her sister. Twilight and Spike both gave a small chuckle, then the drake held out a claw towards his mare. Twilight happily took it and they continued down the street towards their detestation.
Even though things were looking up, Spike still had a strange feeling.
“Hey Twi. Why didn't Cadence or Shining meet us at the station? Or at the very least a guard?” He asked.
She hummed to herself. “I don't know Spike. Did you give them the right date?”
Spike thought back to his letter, then his eyes widened with shock. “Umm... yep! I guess their just busy.”
Twilight looked at him for a moment, eyebrows raised, then turned back to concentrate on walking. Its really hard with only three legs you know.
Spike smiled, but inside he wasn't so calm.
'I forgot to put a date!....'
…..
Sunlight shined though the window of Cadences bedroom, shining upon her face. She slowly opened her eyes and sat up. Her long mane fell over her eyes as she did so.
Pulling back the covers she yawned.
'I wounder what time is it?' she thought to herself.
But that didn't matter anyhow. It wasn't like she was going to do anything today anyway. So she decided to lay back down. Closing her eyes she smiled. “Nope. Not going to do anything....”
But then three powerful knocks came from her door.
*Knock! Knock! Knock!*
“My Princess! Your aunts and step- sister are here, and a dragon,” His nose scrunched up. “A dragon? In the name of all the crystals what is this world- *cough* There waiting for you in the throne room.” said the butler though the door.
He got no reply and looked at the guards for answers. They both shrugged. Not wanting to leave a Dragon alone in the castle, he decided to head back. But he only got two steps away from the door before he and half the castle heard...
“THATS TODAY!?”
….
Spike scowled at the butler as he trotted into the room. The butler did the same as he came up to the Princess, bowing, but not taking his eyes off the drake.
“The Princess be here shortly. Please, take a seat.” Using his magic, Sebastian The Butler, pulled up three chairs from the wall and also a table.
Turning to the maids, Sebastian nodded. The maids returned the gesture and left the room.
“Tea will be here very soon also.” He bowed once again.
“Umm... You forgot my chair?” Spike crossed his arms.
“I'm sorry, but pets don't sit at the table” He raised an eyebrow. “Would you like me to get you a doggy bed.”
Spikes face went blood red with anger. He would have strangled the stallion, but just then the doors opened.
“Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire has arrived!” Announced the door guard.
Spike, being the only one standing, was the first to greet her.
Spike and Cadence hugged for a moment, then pulled away.
“Its so good to see you Spike!” Beamed Cadence.
“Like wise.” He smiled.
Then the others shared their greeting.
“Oh, I've missed you dear.” Said Celestia, as they hugged tightly.
“I missed you too Aunt Celestia,” Then Luna hugged. “Oh my, looks like your coming along quite well Aunt Luna.” She said, feeling Luna's belly poke against hers.
Luna blushed and pulled away, mumbling to herself she sat down again.
Then She and Twilight did their usual dance thing, as always.
Once complete, they all took their seats at the table. Well... almost everyone.
“Sebastian, why doesn't Spike have a chair?” asked Cadence.
The stallion straightened up. “W-Well we normal don't allow pets-”
“Pet's?” She raised an eyebrow. “Sebastian, I know your from Prance, but you can't tell me that you don't know who he is?”
Sebastian stayed quite.
She sighed.
“This is Spike, first King of Equestria and The Crystal Empires national hero.”
His mouth went agape and he turned to Spike, who had a smug look on his face.
He turned back to Cadence as if asking 'Really?'
She nodded.
Lowering his head, he used his magic to bring another chair to the table. Then he left the room without say anything else.
Just as he left, the maids entered and set out the tea.
Taking a sip, Twilight frowned. “Cadence, wheres Shining?”
Having to hold back from rolling her eyes, Cadence replied. “Oh who knows. Probably out doing solider things.”
“But didn't you both know about today's date?”
She frowned. “No, their wasn't a date on the letter.”
Twilight, Celestia, and Luna turned to Spike with glares.
Spike blushed, sipping his tea quickly.
Celestia sighed, turning back to her niece.
“Well I promise that wont happen again,” Taking another sip of tea she smiled. “So how have things been?”
Cadence forced a smile. They all saw though it quickly, but didn't say anything.
“Things have been well.” Was all she could say.
Then an awkward silence fell upon the table.
Wanting to cheer up the group, Cadence spoke up.
“So... how's the married life going?”
Smiles returned to the table.
Luna, surprisingly, was the first to speak.
“It is a good feeling to be married. There are hard moments yes, but all in all, I love it!” Luna cuddled up next to Spike.
Twilight and Celestia both nodded.
“Couldn't have said it better myself.” Twilight implied.
Cadence was happy for them.
“So any names for the baby?”
“YES!” Exclaimed Twilight and Celestia.
They scowled at each other. Spike sighed and covered his face with a claw. Luna only frowned.
“Twilight, we have been over this before. Her name will be 'Solar flare'.”
Twilight laughed in mock humor.
“I thought we agreed on 'Starlight'.”
Celestia glared.
“What kind of name is Starlight? That is not worthy of a Princess. Her name needs power behind it!”
“Oh and Solar flare is soooo much better!?”
Spike could have sworn he saw sparks coming out of their eyes.
Being brave, the drake spoke up.
“What if its a boy?”
Both Alicorns turned to him.
“The names still work!”
And with that they stormed out of the room, leaving the others behind.
Cadence looked down.
“Sorry, I didn't know it was THAT much of a touchy subject to them.”
Spike sighed and reached over the table, using his claw he lifted up her chin. Forcing her to look into his eyes.
“Don't worry about it. Their just acting like foals,” He smiled. “After awhile to cool off, they will be making up. Give it a night.”
'Well... their go's my plans for sexy fun tonight. Maybe Luna would want-'
“Don't even think about it. You know how I feel right now.”
Cadence was just as confused as Spike.
Shaking his head, he returned to the moment at hand.
“It'll be alright.”
Cadence smiled and nodded.
“Thanks Spike,” Standing up, she pulled Spike into a hug. She whispered into his ear. “Your the best.”
Spike got a little flustered by her hot breath on his neck.
Pulling away with a light blush, he rubbed the back of his head.
“Well I try.”
Luna watched all this with a frown.
After a moment, Spike stood up and stretched.
“Well I'm going to go find Shining. I've wanting to show him my new sword skills,” Spike swung his claw in a sword-like fashion. “I'll be back latter.”
Spike kissed Luna on the cheek, making her blush. Sometimes she just can't help herself, even when she gets moody and wants to be mad.
“I love you,” He then whispered. “Try and have fun.”
She only nodded.
Spike smiled at Cadence one last time before leaving the room.
“Have fun you two. Don't get into to much trouble!” He laughed to himself.
Once the door was closed, silence took over the room.
Luna and Cadence both looked around awkwardly, avoiding each others eyes.
“So...:” Luna spoke up. “Do you like video games?”
….
Spike flew over the city, looking for his bother-in-law. He had been flying for about twenty minutes now and still no since of the stallion.
With his wings growing tired, Spike landed outside the city on a hill. The drake laded down in the soft grass and closed eyes.
“Oh come on you!”
Spike's lifted his head.
“Shining?”
But it wasn't. It was only that one stallion that Celestia had commanded earlier to pick all the flowers outside the city. He was pulling at a flower with his teeth, that apparently didn't want to come out of the ground.
But he was making good progress, because a cart full of flowers was behind him.
Spike rolled his eyes and went back to sleep.
But then behind him he herd crying.
Opening his eyes he turned around and walked to the other side of the hill. There he found Shining, crying his eyes out.
“Shining?”
The stallion jumped and spun around. His eyes widened.
“Spike?”
Wiping his eyes, Shine embraced his childhood friend/brother with a hug.
“Its good to see you.”
“You to man.”
Shining pulled away, a confused look on his face.
“Man? Whats that?”
Spike shrugged.
“Not sure, but I overheard some stallion use that word at a bowling ally the other night. I thought it sounded cool.”
Shining laughed, then Spike joined in.
“You never change do you Spike?” He gave the drake a slap on the back.
“Nope.” Spike grinned.
Shining then looked up into the sky. The sun was almost down and the moon was coming up,
“Horse-feathers, I didn't realize it was this late,” He turned back to Spike. “Hey lets go get something to eat. I don't want to go back home.... just yet.”
Spike nodded, not wanting to press the issue of why he was out here crying just yet. But you can rest assure that he was going to find out and help.
Then with that, they began their way back to the city gate. As they were walking, they passed that same stallion in the field.
He was still trying to get that one flower.
“Hey friend, you need any help?” Asked Spike.
BlueGraint looked up and smiled.
“No thank you, I got this.” Then returned to pulling.
'What is this flower made of, magic?!' He thought.
Spike and Shining looked at each other and shrugged, then continued on their way....
Cadence sighed to herself as the warm water hit her. Using her magic she washed her mane with shampoo. Very much enjoying the sent of roses.
Today had been, stressful, to say the least for Cadence. With Twilight and Celestia's little fight, not being prepared, Luna's mood swings and her obsession with video games, and don't get her started on Spike-
Her eyes opened.
'Spike.'
Just thinking about his name brought a blush to her cheeks. She remembered just how nice he had been at the table. Not to mention how nice he always is to her.
Anytime she needed him he was always there. Back when she had first learned of her husbands unfaithfulness, Spike was there to give comfort. She knew Spike didn't completely believe her, having been like a brother to Shining his whole life, but he was still there.
She began to think about how much he has grown over the years. Once upon a time, Spike was just a little baby dragon. But now he was grown.
With muscles and everything. She could still feel his strong, sharp claw lifting her chin...
During these thoughts, Cadence's hoof had found its way between her legs.
She gasped and bit her lip. Using the tip of her hoof, she played with her lower lips. Rubbing up and down, slowly. Soon her thighs were becoming more wet, and not just from the water.
She arched her back, lifting her plot into the air. Moans of pleasure escaped her as her hoof continued its work.
'Oh Spike. Yes...'
Now she had stopped her teasing and started to really get into it. Using her magic, she lifted and hovered the soap bottle just behind her flank, right up to her soaking lips.
Then with one hoof rubbing her clit and the other supporting herself, she eased the tip of the bottle into her. The rough bottle cap felt amazing as it spread apart her lips and pushed itself inside of her.
'Yes... oooo..'
She then began a slow pace, going in and out. Every time went in she would go a little deeper.
The hot water rained down upon her, only making her pant even more from the heat and, of course, other reasons.
Soon she began to feel herself coming closer to the edge and picked up speed. The bottle was now pounding away at her. She wasn't holding back. She needed this so badly.
“M-More! Please S-Spike, more!”
Her hoof gave away from the pleasure and she fell to the shower floor. This didn't stop her though, she was to lost in mind numbing bliss. With her face scrunched up to the floor and the bottle rutting her furiously, Cadence imaged that it was Spike holding her down and fucking her brains out.
She loved the thought!
Not able to take anymore, Cadence screamed out as her orgasm finally came.
“Ahhh!!....” Then she became quite, only sounds of whimpers came from her, as she rode out her orgasm.
Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and her tongue hung out the side of her mouth. She hadn't felt so much pleasure in months. It felt so good and the thought that Spike made her feel this good drove her insane with more pleasure.
It was just too much for her and she collapsed onto the shower floor, unconscious, but a smile adorning her face.
And there on the floor she slept, dreams about Spike filling her mind thought the night....
Right at this moment, Celestia's throne room was filled with many ponies from all around Equestria. They all talked together, confused at why they had been called here today.
Those ponies who had been called were the main 6, Spike, all the mayors of every city or town in Equestria, Shining Armor and of course all the Princess. None of whom, except Luna and Celestia, had any idea why they were here.
This greatly worried Twilight, who at this time was trotting in place, thinking of all the terrible things that could have happened.
She was also worried at why Celestia hadn't informed her about this before the others.
“Calm down sugger cube,” Implied AppleJack. “I'm sure everything is gonna be alright.”
Twilight stopped and looked at her friends.
They all smiled at her, easing her nerves a little.
“I know I'm probably over reacting girls,” Spike raised an eyebrow, making her smile grow. “And Spike too. But I just don't understand why Celestia did... you know... tell me first about whatsoever is going on. I mean, I'm her student, you know?”
They all nodded in understanding.
Rainbow Dash flew beside Twilight, giving her a pat on the back.
“I feel where your coming from Twilight. But remember, Celestia called everypony here with out an heads up in advance. Even Cadence doesn't know,” She pointed a hoof at said mare. Cadence was talking to the mayor from Buckwheat at that moment. “I'm sure its nothing against you.”
Twilight nodded.
Then the throne room doors opened.
Celestia and Luna trotted in very slowly, there heads downcast. Their usual royal, public expressions not present. The room hushed itself as a dark, depressing feeling fell over everyone in it.
Twilight rushed to the Princess, pushing ponies out of her way.
The others followed after her.
“Princess, whats wrong? What happened?” Asked Twilight.
Celestia and Luna looked at one another, as if praying for the other to say the news.
Celestia sighed and hugged Twilight.
Twilight was taken off guard, but returned the hug. Everypony else in the room was also surprised, not used to seeing their Princess act so emotional.
Tears began to fall from Celestias eyes and she began to weep loudly. Twilight felt so scarred and concerned.
Very few things in this world could make Celestia cry.
Especially in public.
Tears began to feel Twilight's eyes also. She then pulled away.
“C-Celestia.... w-whats going on?”
Celestia picked her head up and looked directly at Twilight. The younger mares heart sank, having never seen such sadness before in her life.
“Its over....” Celestia whispered.
Soft mummers began to fill the room.
Cadence, who had been standing quietly, spoke up.
“Whats over?”
Luna slammed her hoof on the ground, tears also falling from her eyes.
“THE WORLD!”
Gasped were let out and yelling began to take over. Ponies demanded to have answers. Some ponies fainted, Rarity including. Lucky Spike was there to catch her in time.
“SLIENCE!” Screamed Celestia, though not taking her eyes off Twilight's.
The room went silent once again.
Twilight's legs began to shake.
“Celestia, w-what do you mean? Are y-you saying-”
“Yes my dear Twilight,” She wiped her eyes and stood up brave for her ponies. “Its the end of the world. In two days time, an ancient comet will it the planet and all life as we know it will be destroyed.”
No one spoke a word/
Twilight's legs gave out and she collapsed to the floor, a blank expression on her face, but tears still falling.
None of her friends helped her up. For they too were shocked to their every souls and could not function.
Spike even dropped Rarity.
“But... It may not truly be 'The End'.” Spoke Luna, her expression strong, but still underneath, afraid.
Everyone came out of there shock and listened carefully.
Twilight lifted her head.
“Yes, we do have a small chance to preserve the pony race,” Celestia helped Twilight up from the ground. “But its a very, very small chance.”
“How?” Whispered Twilight, holding onto this new found hope.
“Me and my sister have, some what, known about this comet for quite some time. We hopefully thought it would only bypass our planet, but three days ago.... we found out that would not be the case.” Spoke Celestia.
“But Luna, I don't understand! Can't you control the space?!” Exclaimed Rainbow Dash.
Luna glared.
“I control the moon and the stars. Not the vast nothingness called space!” She sighed to herself. “Or anything, besides the moon or the starts, that's in it.”
Celestia coughed and continued.
“But lucky, we did prepare. Over the years since we discovered the comet heading our way, thanks to Luna, we have been building vaults under the earth in, or near, every city and town in Equestria. We also warned our allies and told their leaders as well,” She trotted to the window. “Small towns, like Ponyville, can fit all there residence. Cites on the other hoof-”
She stopped, unable to finish.
The mayors looked to one another. Twilight and the gang gasped.
“Celestia... you mean-”
“Yes Twilight,” Tears once again began to escape Celestias eyes. She turned to face the mayors. “That means that in under two days mayors, who run cites, will have to decide who lives and who dies.”
Many mayors fainted. Others threw up from the thought. Mayors who ran small towns, like Mayor Miss Mayor, inwardly smiled.
“I know its hard to do. But its for the good of the pony race. I recommend making your lists full of those who would benefit the reconstruction. Doctors, farmers, builder, for example. Remember my little ponies, you have two days to get into that vault. I will give you all files to where your vault is located and the pass code. I will also contact each vault though a spell once it is safe to come out. I'm not sure how long that will be though,” She looked to Twilight and her friends, but spoke to everyone. “Keep this to yourselves. Don't tell anypony about this....”
She turned back to the window.
Twilight looked to her friends. They looked back. No words were needed as they embraced each other.
Spike hugged too, but after, stayed close to Rarity.
A single tear ran down Celestias cheek as she looked upon her beautiful land.
Holding a hoof to the glass, she whispered.
“And may God help us.”
Two Days Latter....
“Spike, do you have everything?” Asked Twilight, standing at the door to the castle. “I don't think will be coming back anytime soon.”
Twilight sighed.
This would be the second time they would have to start all over.
Spike place a claw on her foreleg, giving her some engorgement.
“Don't worry Twilight. I never even liked this place anyway.”
She smiled and for the first time in two days, laughed.
She leaned down and hugged her little dragon.
“I love you Spike.”
Spike blushed a little, but returned the hug.
“I love you too, Twilight.”
Then they opened the door and found that everyone, who was running late like them, was rushing to the grassland outside of Ponyville, where the vault was located.
Twilight picked Spike up with her magic, including their few things, and placed him on her back. Then she took off into the air.
Moments latter, they landed outside the cave to where the vault was held. Luna oversaw everything that was happening and her night guards keep the order in the lines.
Twilight trotted up to the night Princess, wondering why Celesta was not present with her.
“Princess Luna, wheres Celestia?”
Luna turned with a frown.
“My sister has decided to join the ponies in the Canterlot Vault. I will be in charge of the Ponyville vault in her absence.” Pain was easily seen on her face.
“But-”
“No time for arguing Twilight!” Luna pointed to the sky. “We don't have much time before the comet arrives.”
She was right, Twilight realized. The sky was already turning red and the heat was rising quickly.
“But where are the girls?”
She wasn't going to leave any of her friends behind.
Luna used her magic to help move along Twilight and Spike, just as the last few ponies also entered the cave.
She talked as they moved.
“Their fine. I already saw them enter with their family's.”
Twilight stopped at the entrance. She had to wipe her forehead from the intense heat.
“Are you sure!”
Luna commanded her guards to enter. Once they were inside, she looked into Twilight's eyes and nodded.
“I'm sure. Now let us go!”
Twilight looked to Spike. Spike nodded, trusting Princess Luna. Twilight then ran into the cave.
Luna followed soon after, but first she had placed a protective shield around the cave entrance.
Just for extra measure.
Then she too ran into the cave, where she found Twilight and Spike the only ones who had not entered though the vault door.
“Whats the door made of?” Spike asked.
“Magic and steel, little Spike.” Luna replied.
“Will it hold?” Asked Twilight, full of fear.
Luna trotted inside, then looked back to the mare and dragon.
“Probably not. But its the only chance we have.”
Twilight and Spike exchanged glances and gulped.
Then with that they entered the vault.
Once inside, the doors closed shut with a magical protection spell that only a Princess of Equestria can open at their command.
After the vault door closed, silence consumed the cave.
Nothing happened for a long time.....
Until fire rained from the sky and consumed the world.
