A Velvet Silver Lining

"What?"

"It's your punishment for ignoring me yesterday!" Twilight explained. "Now go take this package to my parent's house!"

"Twilight, I don't feel like doing anything." groaned Spike plopping down on his bed. That's when Twilight began levitating Spike upside down.

"What the?" Spike then found his head above a bucket of water.

"Feel like getting water up your nose?" Twilight asked with an annoyed smirk.

"You wouldn't dare."

Then Twilight slowly lowered him down. Spike tried to evaporate the water with his fire breath, but Twilight used her magic to keep his chompers shut!

"So, wanna do this now before you feel my fury?"

Spike nodded. "Good." smiled Twilight as she propped Spike on his feet before putting the package in his claws.

Spike sighed, and was off to the train station.

Meanwhile in Canterlot, Twilight Velvet & Night Light were having a quiet morning eating their breakfast until Velvet broke the silence.

"Night Light dear, I was thinking we could go on vacation to the Bahoofas, I heard tickets are half price today."

"Sorry Velvet, but I have a business trip that's gonna last for a month." sighed Night Light.

That's when a hand in rage began shaking before hitting the table hard! "You're always doing this! I wanna do something as a couple but then work becomes more important to you than me!"

"Bite your tongue, I work to put bread on this table for us!" Night Light shouted back.

"Well why can't you ever find time for us? Before we had kids we always did something romantic, but then you focused more on work!"

"Dammit Velvet, you know Celestia Damn well that I love you, but even when I told my boss that all of our kids are gone, he just didn't care and didn't demote me to a more comfortable position."

"That is high octane bullcrap and you know it!" That's when they heard the door open.

"Uh...mom and dad?" Spike called.

"We'll discuss this later!" said Velvet! "Go to your precious work!"

"Fine!" cried Night Light before stomping past Spike and out the door.

"Uhh..." Spike then entered the house and found Velvet holding her head after enduring such a headache from Night Light. "Everything alright mom?"

"Yes, I'll be alright." sighed Velvet.

"Well, Twilight told me to give you this package."

"Why couldn't she give me the package instead?"

"She got mad when I was ignoring her. It's not my fault I was lost in thought!"

"Well don't let it get to you." she spoke taking the package.

"Yeah, but lately I've been thinking about stuff."

"You and me both son."

"Still never got why you saw me as a son. Technically speaking, I was raised by your daughter and adopted by Celestia."

"Yeah but you went here during Twilight's night classes and I loved having you over."

"Yeah...I remember when you and dad would tuck me in, give me a glass of warm strawberry milk, and read me a bedtime story."

"You don't even realize you're calling me mom and Night Light dad, do you?"

"W-wait, I do?"

"Yup, every time."

Spike then got embarrassed. "Well...guess I'd better go."

"Wait, don't you wanna tell me about what you've been thinking about?"

"It's......kinda personal."

"Come-on, you'll feel better after talking about it."

'She's got ya there.' he thought to himself. "Well, I've been thinking that maybe I should give up on my crush and move on."

"Oh? You mean that Rarity girl?"

"Yeah...and now I wonder, if there's someone out there for everyone, I wonder who's the one for me."

"You're not the only one feeling it."

"What's up?" He asked.

"Well, I'm starting to think that maybe the spark between me and Night Light is starting to.....go out."

Spike gasped in disbelief. "How can this be? You and dad have been together for a long time, Twilight and Shining Armor are proof of your love!"

"Well, at a time like this, sounds more like proof we aren't virgins."

"Well have you two tried talking it out?"

"Not yet, apparently making money is more important to him then making love to his wife."

Spike blushed at hearing Velvet sound so blunt. "Does it really suck that much?"

"I wore these on just so he would notice, but he didn't." Velvet stretched out her leg with the black stockings still on.

Spike dropped his jaw, then covered his eyes! "Velvet, with all due respect, p-please put your leg down!" 'Man that's so hot!'

"What? They don't look good on me?" asked Velvet who looked at the floor glumly.

"You look elegant in them...b-but...I don't wanna see."

"Oh, sorry." replied Velvet lowering her leg while feeling a little happy that Spike said she looked elegant in them.

'Wow, did not see that coming.' Spike thought. "Anyways, well I guess maybe giving him a boost of energy will work, I know I'm feeling good whenever I take a drink of Blue Bull."

"He tried, but all it gave him was overtime!" she complained.

That's when Spike face palmed.

"Don't let it get you down Spike, I'm sure you'll find someone else..." Then she got up from the table and put a hand on Spike. "Don't worry, if it doesn't work out, I'll find someone who wont neglect me after having kids."

"Well there must be tons of stallions out there who would go nuts to have you with them." complimented Spike.

"You're quite the charmer, aren't you Spike?" She said as she rubbed his spines.

"Hahaha, he-hey, quit it! That's one of my secret tickle spots."

"Oh really?" she grinned before trailing her fingers against the spot and made Spike squirm as he started laughing.

"Gah! sto-o-o-op! You know it tickles the most there! You used to tickle it back when I used to come here!" Spike said between chuckles.

"And it's still funny!" laughed Velvet as Spike tried to back away from her tickling.

Spike tried pushing her away, but then her tickling stopped. Spike wondered what happened, he looked and...he realized what had happened. His claw had accidentally pressed itself against one of her breasts.

The 2 just stood there, frozen until Velvet held Spike's groping claw. "Wait, what are you doing?"

"How do they feel? Soft? Firm? Or are they getting old and saggy? Like me?" asked Velvet whose tone turned a little sad at the end.

"Well, they feel as soft and perky as a teenage girl. Also what do you mean by old like you? You still look as young as you did before me and Twi moved."

"Because I'm starting to wonder if Night Light thinks I'm getting old." sighed the mare.

"Don't be ridiculous, you're prettier than Rarity! Prettier than Luna!"

Spike didn't realize that by saying she was prettier than his former crush and his own aunt made her stomach feel all fluttery.

"You really think so?"

"Of course you are!" Spike then got up and hugged her! "Velvet, you are beautiful! Don't ever say otherwise." Spike then broke the hug. "So you said that Night Light is on vacation? Would you like to come with me to Ponyville? I'm sure Twi would love to see you."

"I...I'll need some time to consider it." spoke Velvet who felt her face feel warm for some reason.

"Also, could you let go of my claw?"

"Oh, right."

"Well, I'd better get back to Ponyv..."

"Wait! Spike, please stay the night. I don't wanna be alone right."

"Sorry Velvet, but I can't at the moment...please understand."

"Okay Spike."

Spike and Velvet waved goodbye before Spike headed out the door. 'Wow...Am I lucky or what? Gah, no Spike!' He thought.

He shook his head to forget about the feel of her breast under his claw, and how smooth her leg looked with those stockings.

Meanwhile...

'Wow. I had no idea Spike was taller than me. Or that his chest was so firm. No! Bad Velvet!' thought Velvet shaking her head.
