Prologue

The cold and wet mountain wind howled and the skin of the tent rolled and cracked like a whip. Inside there sat a desk, and on that desk next to a pair hooves there was a lantern. In the comforting light from that lantern a bored grey pegasus attempted to amuse herself.

With a whip of her head the legendary archaeologist Daring Do swung the ball on it's string aiming for the cup it was attached to, only to strike herself in the eye once more. Eye closed, her utterance was muffled by the handle while she cursed whatever strange creature had designed this tool of self flagellation.

Adventurer grade archaeologists were required by the union at every major dig in the event that a small easily portable relic capable of destroying a sizable chunk of the known world was discovered. While this was an event that happened with distressing regularity in Equestria it meant that Daring Do and her kin had little to do on many if not most of their work sites.

Her study of the intrinsic mystical properties of the cup and ball discovered on site was going to the extent of her contribution for the summer.

Further past the distracted pony and the ancient relic was a trench that had been dug allowing access deeper into the dark and mysterious internals of the mountain. It plunged forward the ceiling first consisting of canvas soon yielding to native rock that would yield in turn to worked stone of unclear origin.

The worked stone formed passages of an unexplored structure. The accessible tunnels were only as tall as a pony but as wide as two ponies were long. Exploring them one would find nearly every path leads to a cave-in where the stone had been crushed under the weight of time and some rocks, but mostly time. Each such cave-in was a barrier far beyond the ability of this small expedition of hardy ponies to excavate.

But past the dead ends one single path opened up into a great ante chamber. This room was many times taller then a pony and it's length and width where obscured by piles of soft clay that had seeped slowly into the room over the ages with each spring rain for countless years amounting to a torrential flood of the sticky stuff.

This material, this was what two strong earth pony archaeological students where moving by the cart full out of the dig. This was the material a studious cream coated mare was digging away from the walls with utmost care and a handy trowel.

With sleepless eyes and sweat beading upon her brow intern painstakingly unveiled a piece of the past. She has cataloged and secured plenty of fragments of pottery but in truth that obligation interested her little. Sure it was the bulk of the real archaeological work, but there was something that interested her much much more.

The wall that she was so slowly unearthing had marks on it, carved into it. Written in a language she did not recognize comprised mostly of pictures. She saw symbols that she supposed were suns, moons, clouds, mountains, flowers, ponies, dragons and griffons.

Scritch scritch went the trowel and wall told her of the things that had happened long before it had been new and Moondancer struggled to understand.

Her heart beat faster as she passed a representation of faceless ponies offering up gifts or tribute to well detailed images of dragons. This suggested she was in a dragon ruin, but dragon's didn't build or write, at least not anymore.

This contradicted the narrow halls that lead to this location. An even half grown dragon could never hope to navigate those paths.

Days passed, the earth ponies moved in and out in constant motion, the work consuming them and their every waking thought.

Daring Do had managed to catch the ball in the cup at least twice though no one admitted to believing her and quietly wished she would black her other eye.

Exhaustion eventually forced Moondancer to release the trowel from her telekinetic field and grasp it with her mouth. Regardless without rest the unicorn dug on spurned by each promised fragment of secret knowledge that the wall offered her.

Moondancer swept away the now drying soil revealing row upon row of detailed images of dragons in every conceivable shape. Two headed dragons, dragons with and without wings, small dragons, big dragons, quadrupedal and bipedal and hexapedal dragons. Variations of dragons that she had never seen before and had never been cataloged by the hardiest or foolhardy of pony researchers.

Attached to each different and unique dragon was a line. Supposedly a lineage. Perhaps the dragons of this city where as interested as modern unicorns in proving their pedigree? Perhaps it was an indication that they had undergone some crazed purge of their supposed lessers?

Each line led through other symbols, names perhaps? But each line eventually wound it's way to a central point on the wall. Perhaps it was a legendary great mother of dragonkind? A real or theological origin of the species.

There Moondancer gasped as the clay fell away, for she recognized exactly what she was seeing.

She remember months before.

That one mare the one who was her only true peer at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns who had been the closest thing she had to a friend. The one who had proved to her that she had no such thing as friends at all when she left.

Always trailing behind her had been a dragon. A curious small dragon pudgy and unassuming, not like one would imagine a dragon at all. It followed that mare everywhere with pen and paper in hand ready to take dictation or lists of chores yet to accomplish.

Spike was it's, his name, she remembered at last. She had talked to him on several occasions and he had proven to be both polite and helpful as best as she could recall.

It was that personal knowledge that allowed to confidently identify the rendered drawing at the center the diagram as that of a dragon hatchling.

Chapter 1

Prone upon her back Rarity rolled in sheer luxurious pleasure as she was skillfully serviced. She cooed and stretched seductively in appreciation of her benefactor. Her tail flicked teasingly, and her half lidded eyes lost all focus as she concentrated on the sensations rioting across her elegant and refined equine body.

It hadn't been easy. Her partner had been a complete novice when she began working with him, he hadn't known the first thing about pleasuring a lady such as her. It had taken weeks of careful instruction, proper incentives and gentle reprimands to finally bring him into the proper shape. The clumsy touches and rough strokes of his earliest efforts had been suffered through.

But now, now he was exactly what she desired.

Spike set down the file, his claw tenderly pressing against her delicate frog and gave her now perfectly sculpted hoof a chaste but devoted kiss.

Wordlessly as he had been taught he moved onto the next hoof and Rarity resumed her nearly indecent writhing.

Spike always told his guardian Twilight that he was just going over to Rarity's to help out in her workshop and indeed he used to and in that time he had learned more then a little about sewing and cloth.

But the year was driving into a very warm summer and fewer and fewer ponies came to Rarity searching for clothing it was simply to uncomfortable to wear. Without anything else to distract them Spike's training as a luxury farrier and cabana boy had begun.

Rarity firmly understood that this was for the benefit of the young drake. Surely with the training he had received he could find employment with Aloe and Lotus the spa ponies. Maybe someday Twilight would find need for his services?

She was simply doing her duty in helping the subservient dragon round out his already prominent skill set.

Despite telling herself this and definitely believing it she would never allow him to touch another mare this way. He was hers after all.

“Rarity?” Spike politely asked to speak.

“Yes, darling?” Rarity magnanimously granted his request.

“I think you are beautiful,” Spike began as he searching for the path to the words he wanted to say.

“Well, how could you not?” she replied jokingly seeing the direction this was going and applying a hint of pressure. “I assume you have eyes?”

“I do, Rarity,” Spike rallied and tried to push forward to his goal. “Indeed I think you are the most beautiful unicorn in the world.”

“Oh you flatter me surely,” she gave a soft laugh. “But what of Celestia, surely she even more beautiful still?”

Spike floundered for a moment. Celestia was the pinnacle of equine beauty and attempting to suggest that another mare was more beautiful then her was terrifyingly close to uttering treason and sedition.

Here in the privacy of the home of the mare he adored Spike dared to commit a minor crime that was worth a day in jail or a 10 bit fine if over heard by a member of the Guard.

“No, you are the most beautiful pony...”

Rarity opened her eyes in alarm.

“...in all of Equestria...”

She sat up and looked at Spike in surprise her gaze flickering across the room for just a second in search of a Guardpony hiding in her wardrobe.

“...Because out of all the ponies in Equestria it is you...”

Rarity was briefly stunned at how badly things had began to tumble out of control.

“...and only you that I lo-”

A perfect white hoof pressed against his lips silencing him with her elegance.

“Stop, you don't have to say it,” she said it with a smile and such kind and warm eyes the he nearly believed her.

This was important though, he was sure of it. He had to tell her how he felt and push forward into the world he dreamed of. Spike felt a wave of dizziness as he stepped away from the safe and secure world as it was and began to make forge his own path ahead.

“I love you, Rarity,” he said it quickly before she could stop him.

The room grew colder.

“Spike,” she sounded sad, kinda disappointed. “You have to understand-”

“I know, I know, I'm a dragon and you're a pony, we're too different-”

“No, it isn't that...” Rarity got up onto her hooves. Her tone and demeanor where deeply apologetic like a doctor telling the family of the coming death of a loved one.

“It's no different then Galigor and Tulip Blossom,” he referred to the common story of forbidden love between a griffon and a pony that had saturated much of pony society to the point of play and comic book adaptations.

“No! No Spike, that isn't the problem at all...” this was hard on her, harder then she would have thought.

“Then what?”

Rarity steeled herself.

“I'm older then you.”

“Five years, that isn't much at all. The Cup Cake is eight years younger then Carrot and they are perfectly happy.”

“Please, Spike,” the first cut hadn't had enough force behind it. It hadn't even broken the skin.

“I understand if you don't feel the same way, but it would make me very happy if we could trying going out. Just give me a chance, I'm sure I can win you over...”

“I'm sure that you could in time,” she replied as a tear threatened to well up in her eye, she couldn't deny her fondness for the dragon or his pleasant and enjoyable demeanor. But she couldn't show weakness right now.

“Please Rarity, just give me a chance, just one. That is all that I ask.”

“Spike, you are very dear to me, and I don't mind that you are a dragon. But...” She had no choice, she was going to have to hurt him. She readied her figurative blade forged of terrible words. It was going to have to be clean cut. Surgical. For his own good.

“...You are a baby dragon. You are just a child.”

Spike turned around and walked out of the boutique of the mare he loved.

Chapter 2

When Spike arrived home there was a delivery of new arrivals for the library. He was tempted to ignore them and go straight to his basket where he could hide under the covers and weep.

But there were books and they needed to be put away. And if he didn't do it now, Twilight would just interrupt him and then he would have to explain what had happened. How he had been so stupid as to forget that he was just a...

With a claw he ripped open the tape holding the box closed.

At the top was a brand new copy of Daring Do and the Mystery of the Cup and Ball.

He pondered if this heralded the spiraling decline of the venerable Daring Do series as the author ran out of ideas. He delivered the ill-omened book the young adult section and put it at the end of the row of Daring Do books.

The next few books where replacements for reference books that had grown to aged and decrepit to be read without falling apart. After replacing them he delivered the elderly books to the burn pile down in the basement.

The last book was Dragon Morphology by Moondancer.

The second book on the topic of dragons to find it's way into the Ponyville public library. The only previous such book was Beware the Dragon! a slim volume that described how to avoid confrontations with dragons while traveling in the badlands.

Spike also recognized the name the author. Surely it couldn't be the same pony that he and Twilight had met in school? It would be weird if that Moondancer had managed to publish a book before Twilight.

Instead of putting the book away, Spike carried it to a nearby table and opened it up to a random page. He didn't feel like indulging his misery just yet. He just felt empty and wanted to fill it with something.

...indicates that dragons do not grow or age with the passage of time but rather with various actions. The exact connection between the types actions and the form that they eventually grow into is not yet clear...

Spike remembered standing above the tiny houses of Ponyville. So consumed by his own greed that he could barely think. He remembered how the world had shook with his roar. When he was an adult.

He flipped through the pages and stopped at a familiar picture of a massive quadrupedal wingless dragon with a long snaking tail.

...best guess I can translate the given name of this type of dragon as the Low Dragon, it is associated with hoards of rocks, supposedly large hoards of relatively low value items. The name it's self suggesting that this kind of dragon is not held in high esteem among other dragons...

Spike gave a tired sigh as he was once more rejected today. This time by his own species. Again.

Pages flipped as he skimmed quickly through the book.

...high dragon, largest and most highly regarded of dragons hoards only the most valuable of items in contrast to the low dragon...

Spike pondered briefly if his allowance would ever amount to that much. But then he didn't want to be too large to live in Ponyville.

...the duplicitous dragon, a two headed dragon that hoards secrets...

Spike gave a frown, who would want a second head?

...the beautiful dragon, a dragon of a modest size, only twice as tall as a pony and with impressive plumage, set aside from dragon society this before unknown type of dragon is...

Spike studied the accompanied rough image. It was a dragon to be sure, it's lines were sleek and smooth. It had wings, moved about comfortably on it's hind legs and could grasp things in it's foreclaws.

The beautiful dragon... Spike felt a curious longing as he looked at the creature depicted there. A firm understanding that if he could attain that glorious and adult body then Rarity would certainly not be able to deny him.

Indeed she would swoon at the sight of him and he would carry her off up into the clouds and they share sweet whispers together and she would admire his strength and immense maturity.

...this before unknown type of dragon is defined as a personification of a specific subtype of greed, the greed for mates. Copulation with an excessively wide variety of mates is required for this transformation to be achieved.

Spike crinkled his brow in confusion. The sentence made sense but the meaning of some of the words were lost on him.

He fetched a copy of The Horse Dictionary and laid it out next to Dragon Morphology.

“Under C for copulation,” Spike searched through the small print for the entry. “The act of sex.”

His frustration slowly grew. He recognized the word but it didn't mean anything to him.

“Under S for sex... 'Sexual education courses are available at all publicly funded schools in Equestria.'”

Spike took a deep calming breath. He put the books away each in their own proper place. He had found out what he needed to do in order to win Rarity's heart. It was okay. Breath in, breath out. He had a plan and that meant everything was going to work out just fine.

Yes, everything was fine and certainly wouldn't spiral further out of control.

The book said that all he had to do was to 'copulate' with a lot of 'mates.'

He certainly knew what 'mates' were, mate was a word for a close friend, a friendly kind of friend as best as he could recall.

The one tiny hitch in the plan was that he still had no idea as to what 'copulation' or 'sex' was. But he knew just where to ask. If you found out about sex from sexual education courses at school, then all he had to do was ask a school teacher.

Spike wrote a quick note for Twilight and left the house.

It was a Saturday afternoon and he had Cheerilee's home address.

Chapter 3

Soaped up to her knee, Cheerliee hummed happily as she washed her after dinner dishes. Her hips swayed gently and her tail whipped side to side in response to the half remembered song from her youth.

If there was one skill she didn't get much opportunity use in her adult life that she missed, it was dancing. She used to be an ecstatic beast of the dance floor.

It had been a crazy time in her life. Somehow inbetween classes and studying for her bachelors in literature and her teachers license she had still managed to spend six hours a weekend under the disco ball.

Every month there had been a new stallion to keep her company. The time between them often measured in mere hours. It had been a time of plenty. It had seemed like it would never end.

Ponyville was a very different place then Canterlot.

Ponyville offered her her very own dream job and it was very satisfying helping her students, but sometimes she did miss the fun and excitement.

With a shake of her hips she resolved to savor the memories as much as she had enjoyed the experiences.

A knock came from her front door.

Toweling the soap suds off of her hooves Cheerilee made her way to the front door. Maybe it was Twilight? The well studied unicorn has been a fairly regular visitor though almost always on a professional level.

“Hi,” greeted the small purple dragon on her doorstep.

“Hello Spike,” the earth pony peered past him looking for the expected Twilight that was always at his side. “How are you?”

“I've been good. How have you been?”

“Also good.”

“I... am glad to hear that.”

The two stood there awkwardly for a moment.

“I need to know about sex.”

“Oh.” Cheerilee startled a little and this time glanced around desperately to make sure no one in the street was close enough to over hear.

“You teach sex-ed?”

“Yes, yes I do.” She had a far away look in here eye as she struggled to come to grips with the nature of the conversation she was having.

“Can you teach me?”

“Do you have a permission slip?” The question was automatic.

“No...” Spike hadn't thought that he might need paperwork. Which was odd because his life was mostly paperwork. “Do I need one?”

“I can't teach sex-ed to a minor without permission from a parent or legal guardian.”

“I'm not legally a minor.”

“Oh, I'm sorry.”

“Can you teach me then?”

“Twilight really hasn't talked to you about this?”

“No, I don't think that she has.”

Cheerilee frowned in thought for a time. Did she have time? Did she want to teach a crash course on a day off? Did she want to take time off from cleaning the kitchen.

Oh, right.

“Spike, if you want to clean my kitchen I can give you a crash course.”

“Yes, of course, thank you very much!”

“Then please, come in.”

Moments later Spike was at the sink washing dishes and Cheerilee was seated at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in her hoof.

“So what exactly do you want to know about sex?”

“What is sex, for starters?”

“Sex is the biological act by which a male and female come together to create an offspring, and become parents.”

“Huh,” Spike hadn't quite expected it to be something as staggeringly intimidating as that. “Is the whole becoming parents a really important part of it?”

“Yes and no, it's certainly one of the most important things that can lead from sex, sex that doesn't result in conception is still sex. While rooted in the biological act of procreation there is also sex as a social act which is often not performed with the intent of procreation and can be performed between biologically incompatible partners.”

“What would make partners 'biologically incompatible'?”

“Well being of the same gender for one, another would be belonging to incompatible species.”

“'Incompatable species'?”

“For example buffalo and ponies are incompatible species and any pairing will fail to yield offspring, while griffons and ponies are compatible and have limited success at breeding.”

“I... I see.”

“The conception, the initial stage of life, starts when viable sperm from the male make contact with viable egg from the female.”

“Mares have eggs?”

“Yes, in their ovaries mares have hundreds of single cell eggs. The eggs are released one at a time as part of a biological response to extended exposure to sunlight. The process is called estrus and mares go through it once a year.”

“Do males have something similar?”

“No, a fertile male can impregnate a receptive female any time of the year.”

“But, you can have sex with receptive female, right?”

“Of course, social sex can be engaged in at any time of year.”

“Wow,” Spike pondered this volume of information and it's implications as he set aside the last washed pot and moved on to the counters.

“No as for the process of sex,” Cheerilee mentally retreated to her safe place for this part of the conversation. Her safe place being a classroom filled with attentive young ponies and a chalk board behind her. “Now males and females have different but corresponding parts, and these different parts are the male's penis and the female's vulva. They are often referred to by different words or nicknames, but those are their proper names. Sex, the standard, regular act, is started with the insertion of the penis into the vulva. There are of course variations but this is the principal sex act from which all other sex acts are deviations from.”

“Other sex acts?” asked a filly in the back with Spikes voice.

“Yes, other sex acts, or arguably acts similar to sex, such as oral sex, anal sex, hoof jobs, wing petting, field penetration and even the solitary act of masturbation.”

“What's masturbation?” asked the same filly.

The class erupted into predictable giggles.

“Now settle down, it's a fair question,” she reprimanded the imaginary class. “Masturbation is any sexual act performed by a single individual upon themselves.”

“Neat, how does that work?”

The hush that followed was always deafening.

“Usually with in the privacy of your own bedroom and a hoof. It's a fairly straightforward process.”

“Huh, so the penis and the vulva, what exact part of the body is that?” asked a pony near the front who was pretending to take notes.

“Located between the hind legs, the penis somewhat more forward and the vulva somewhat more backward. The penis incorporates the urinary tract while the opening of the vulva is just slightly further to the back.”

“How do you have sex, exactly?”

“Insertion, repeat as necessary.”

“No, not that, I mean before that.”

“Well, there are many ways, but the key step that all of those ways share is that you ask or are asked for sex.”

“You just ask?”

“Well... you can and maybe they say yes, but they probably won't.”

“Then how exactly?”

“You see, it's all about the how you ask, and who you're asking and the pre-existing relationship that you have with that pony. What works with a pony who knows you, wouldn't work with a stranger or even a different pony that knows you.”

“This sounds complicated and messy. Why does anypony do it?”

“Because it feels good. There isn't really much more to it then that,' she paused for a moment to wait for the next question and finding it tellingly absent continued. “This should for the preliminary lesson, we can continue this tomorrow unless you have some more personal questions you can ask me after class,” with a nod and a step back she dismissed the classroom.

“Class?” asked Spike, having finished the counters, table and stove and having already swept the floor was halfway through mopping.

“I'm sorry, I misspoke.”

“So... Twilight's parents had sex? Like her dad inserted his penis into her mom's-”

“That is how that works, yes.”

“Ew.”

“It's a beautiful process I swear.”

Spike gave the mop a final ringing and sat down at the table. It was a lot to take in and a he felt some weighty and crushing doubts about the whole... thing.

He gave a tired sigh and put his face into his claws.

“So what set this off? I mean, why the sudden interest? Is there a pretty lady dragon that caught your eye?”

Spike looked away.

He felt the world shift under him like he was being thrown further away from his life as he knew it. Like he could do anything but he had no idea what the consequences of anything he did might be.

“Something like that,” Spike answered after a moment. “But...”

“But what?” Cheerilee stumbled forward in the conversation, her teachers instincts told her not to pry to hard but something inside of her needed to know. “Do... do you like boy dragons? It's perfectly fine if that is the case.”

“No, I just...” he could feel something right here and if he took that next tiniest step things would start to change. Then he wouldn't be able to go back. But he was desperate. “I just like ponies.”

“W, well I suppose that makes sense. You see ponies every day-”

“Even if I had never seen one before I think I would still like mares.” He didn't know what he was saying, it sounded true but he couldn't recall ever thinking it before. “I like the goofy buildings. I like their soft coats. I like their cutiemarks and their manes.” He was standing up on the chair now, he felt a stirring in his breast like he was swearing a sacred oath of allegiance, A divine oath that would make him turn away from the company of dragons for the rest of his life. “The names and the smiles. Their hysterics and their strength. The dip of their withers and the curve of their haunches.” It felt so right to say it. To acknowledge aloud to himself and anyone who cared to hear him that there was no question that he would joyously spend the rest of his life in the company of mares.

“It's bifurcated,” Cheerilee told him in a flat tone of voice.

Spike glanced at Cheerilee and then followed her wide with surprise eyes. He was somewhat startled himself, he had been very moved speech by his little speech.

On any previous day he would have covered himself. He skipped that part this time. It just didn't seem important.

“Sorry, it gets like this sometimes.”

“Oh, I imagine it does. You see this here is what is known as an erection.” Cheerilee suddenly stood once more before the imaginary classroom, gesturing to the anatomy of an aroused dragon with a pointer. “The penis enters into a state where it engorges with blood in preparation for penetration. Now this particular specimen is very different from the stallion equivalent in that it is a bifurcated penis. Bifurcated being a word that describes something that is one thing but has grown naturally into two things like a tree or river.”

“Is it really that weird?” asked the chubby colt near the front.

“I wouldn't say it's weird, just different and certainly interesting.” Even together they weren't as large as a stallion's equivilant but they had a curious charm to them.

A world away Spike recalled that all he had to do was ask and ask in the correct way, without knowing what that way was beforehand.

“You explained the whole thing very well I think, but there are somethings I didn't quite get, so would you maybe be willing to give a demonstration?” asked an uncertain and random student.

Was she willing to have sex with this strange and unique penis belonging to this rather pleasant dragon infront of her imaginary class without consequence?

She phrased it to herself as a question. It wasn't a question though.

The example erection for the presentation had begun to flag but the touch of her hoof quickly restored it to it's prior hardness.

“Sure, but I'm only going to do this once so need you to pay close attention,” she told them. “And I don't want to hear a single word of this outside of this room.” With that she lowered her muzzle to the dragons crotch and began the lesson in earnest.

Her thick tongue rolled across first one shaft and then the other moistening soft pink members. The members twitched and struggled reach higher stages of arousal and failed. She made careful note to avoid over stimulation in the early stages.

“Now this is an example of what is known as 'oral sex'.”

She gave each member a quick testing suck, judging the oddly slick texture of the skin and the taste that wasn't far removed from brimstone. She finished with a nod of approval.

“Now oral sex is a skill and a novice won't be able to bring a partner to climax on her first attempt, but I am practiced and I could, if I wanted to. But that would limit the number of things that I can show you today lets to and so we will avoid that for now.”

Almost contrary to her statement she opened wide taking both ends of the dragon cock into her mouth, the splay was such that each head pushed against separate cheeks while her tongue played between them.

She noticed a hiss of pain and realized the cocks where sliding past the line of her molars and coming into occasional contact, she compensated by flattening her tongue over her lower molars and sucking her cheeks in a little.

Claws reach forward and gripped her ears and his hips began to buck. She could feel his confidence rising with the speed and force of his thrusts as he began to fuck her mouth.

A drop of a hot and acrid fluid on her tongue was her signal that it was time to stop.

“Please, don't stop yet.”

“Don't worry the best bit is yet to come.”

Cheerilee shimmied onto the table/desk, laying on her belly with her hoof tips barely touching the ground. With Spike standing on the chair they should be just about lined up, well if he stretched a little.

“Now this is a demonstration of vaginal sex, or regular sex. Notice how the mares tail shifts to one side, this is like the erection is a none voluntary reaction to invite the partner into sex.”

Desperate sweaty claws grasped at her haunches. She could feel the readiness and the need to enter her.

An long moment passed.

“Spike?” a pleading whine erupted uninvited from her mouth.

The twin cocks plunged into her moist and ready hole, almost as though he had just needed her to beg for it.

And stopped. Inside of her, buried as far as they could and he stopped.

She rolled her hips against him, that same whine struggled to be voiced turning into a high pitched frustrated squeal.

He started by rolling his hips in return grinding against her muff and she groaned in appreciation. Slowly and uncertainly the motion began to translate into thrusting.

“Yes! Yes just like that! Fuck me!” she begged wantonly and her face flushed with shame.

Finally getting into his stride the dragon fucked the mare a strange grin stretching across his face.

But he had had a head start and he was new at this.

Well before Cheerilee could touch more then the first few scraps of her orgasm Spike came. Startlingly hot cum pumped into her delicate hole.

She answered not with a moan, but a startled whinny and a deep concern that she had managed scald her cooter. She rolled out of Spike's grasp and onto the floor.

The pain soon faded however, suggesting that the boiling jism had had insufficient heat or mass to cause lasting harm, and she was left looking up at a very concerned looking dragon.

“Cheerilee are you okay? Did I hurt you?”

“No, no Spike, I was just surprised is all. It was just a lot hotter then I'm used to.”

“Huh?”

The earth pony got up onto her hooves and took a deep breath to get a hold of herself.

“I suppose the demonstration was sufficient though?”

“Y-yes, yes it most definitely was a well detailed and educational demonstration that answered all of my questions.”

“If all of your questions are answered, does this conclude out business for the day?”

“I suppose it does.”

And with that she saw him to the door.

While walking home, Spike felt just a tiny bit taller.

Chapter 4

The dragon flipped the hay burgers, their moist forms emitting a sharp sizzle on the grill.

Spike found usually found cooking good for clearing his mind, but he couldn't stop thinking about his encounters with Rarity and Cheerilee today.

A quick check on the baked fries proved them to be golden brown and he turned off the heat.

Rarity's rejection still cut him. He still had a strange urge to go back to her. Maybe he could beg for her forgiveness and go back to how things used to be?

He set out the fresh baked buns alongside the condiments.

Cheerilee though, having sex with her had been exciting and it had felt so good. Also terrifying. He felt tremors of anticipation and fear in his knees as he imagined doing that again.

“Twilight! Dinner is ready!”

“I'll be right there Spike!”

It would be for the best if he just let everything go. It would be easy to settle for filling Rarity's hooves. What would happen if he went out of control in the same way as when he turned into the low dragon? He certainly wasn't looking forward to dealing with the aftermath of a city destroying rampage. Though he wasn't sure how he could destroy Ponyville with a sexual rampage, he also wasn't looking forward to finding out.

It almost certainly wasn't worth the risk.

“It smells wonderful Spike.” Fresh from bath the lavender scented and still damp unicorn entered the kitchen a towel still draped across her withers.

“Thanks Twilight.” The dragon fetched the fries out of the oven and started shoveling them out onto the plates.

The now assembled components of the meal made their way to the kitchen table and the dragon and mare settled in for their meal.

Spike forgot to chew as his gaze was drawn to Twilight as she licked some of the errant ketchup from her muzzle.

Twilight bent down on her hooves, her tongue prodding gently, teasingly, testingly at his hard and erect twin phallus.

“Are you sure this is alright Spike?”

The dragon looked down into her eyes reassuring her, running a claw over her mane, stopping to squeeze at her ear.

“I mean, what about Rarity?”

In answer he tightened his claw around her ear and his other claw he squeezed his cocks together and shoved them into her mouth.

What about Rarity? What did she have to do with this?

Sliding along her slippery pink tongue, he rutted into her muzzle firmly gripping a claw full of mane. She sucked cock just as well as Cheerilee and there was something else there.

Something about fucking Twilight Sparkle just made it better somehow. Whatever it was it pushed him faster to orgasm.

Desperate for release he fucked her mouth faster and harder. For her part she just passively let him.

He was already there, one more thrust and he would pour his seed into...

“Do I have something on my face?” asked Twilight seated at the table, both cheeks marked fully with ketchup well beyond the reach of her tongue and a stray slice of pickle dangling from her horn.

“No, no not all, w,what, would make you say that?”

“Alright then,” she raised an eyebrow skeptically.

After a long and awkward moment Twilight resumed to her meal with unabated and excessive enthusiasm.

Spike drew a long shaky breath. This was getting weird. What was worse, he was getting weird. He could see where this path was taking him. It was terrifying.

He suddenly knew how a sexual rampage could destroy Ponyville. We would consume his relationship with Twilight for a instant gratification and then he would move and do the same with every other friendship he had in town. It could poison his relationship with every pony in town, not so much destroying Ponyville as destroying it for himself.

Now he was certain. The decision was made. He couldn't go through with it.

“So, I heard you had a fight with Rarity today.” A flash of light bounced off of Twilight as she cast a 'clean up, quick' spell on herself.

“Yeah,” Spike admitted.

“She was very worried about you.”

“Yeah...” he replied noncommittally. She hadn't sounded happy with what she was saying. She had sounded miserable in fact.

She hadn't wanted to hurt him. She had tried to be gentle and let him off easy.

It was really his fault. Because he had started it. That is what made it all his fault.

He had just wanted... Just wanted... Something. He wasn't sure what it was but it had felt important at the time. Now though he could see that he was just being vain and entitled like a spoiled brat.

“I just don't want to see my baby dragon with a broken heart.”

Spike's eye twitched.

Oh, right. Yeah. That. There. That was the thing.

He got up from the table and started towards the door.

“Spike, where are you going?”

“Out.”

“But where?” Twilight got onto her hooves and followed him, her voice suddenly urgent.

“I don't know.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Stuff.” He wasn't entirely sure what he was going to do.

“Can't you do... 'stuff' here?”

“Not today.”

“At least tell me when you'll be back?”

“No idea.”

“Please Spike, I'm supposed to be responsible for you.”

Spike opened the front door of the library.

“If you take one step out that door, you're grounded mister!”

Spike looked back into Twilight's eyes, wide with worry, concern and creeping helplessness. He felt the urge to yield. To be grounded. To accept his place in life. To simply be a baby. A baby that could never be good enough for Rarity.

And he loathed and despised himself for even considering it.

“You're not my mom!”

The door slammed shut and Spike walked off alone into the evening. The sound of sobbing that followed from the library could have been his imagination.

He knew it wasn't though.

Chapter 5

Traversing the whimsical streets of Ponyville Spike's thoughts tumbled together like angry cats trapped in a barrel rolling down a hill. He didn't know for sure where he was going and didn't pay any attention to where he was. All he knew for certain was that he needed a place to sit down and to think. He had to come to grips with... Well everything.

The sun dipped in the sky and the young drake had found a quiet place to sit. Here with the stream gurgling gently at below him and a solid wooden bridge he felt his calm slowly regain it's footing.

Lots of junk had found it's way here under the bridge over the years. Scraps of broken wagons and buildings from the last few times that Ponyville had been destroyed littered the waterway.

There was even a perfectly good cardboard box.

Maybe he should get some sleep? Everything would make more sense if he was actually well rested enough to think about it. Maybe.

It couldn't hurt at least.

“Spike?” asked the box, “What are you doing here?”

“I... I didn't know where to go,” the dragon explained.

“You have a fight with your mom?”

“She's not my mom!”

“Touchy, touchy! Twilight. You had a fight with Twilight?”

“Yeah.” Spike sat down on the ground, defeated.

“Would it really be so bad?”

“What?”

“If Twilight was your mom. I mean, I wish I had a mom.” A perfectly good orange pegasus filly poked her head out of the perfectly good cardboard box.

“No,” tears welled out of his eyes. “It wouldn't be so bad if Twilight was my mom.”

“So why not just say that she is? That's how I got Rainbow Dash to be my sister.” Scootaloo took the opportunity to preen with pride.

“I'm not sure it works like that.”

“Of course it works like that. Dash said it did and she knows everything.”

Spike chose not to correct the filly. “Twilight treats me like a baby. I'm not. I mean I'm old enough not to be. But I am. Because dragons are dragons. I need to grow up and I can't.”

“You'll grow up in time.”

“No, I won't. I'll be a baby forever if I don't... do... something.”

“What do you have to do? Can I help you with it?” the bright eyed, nubile and prepubescent filly asked.

“I don't think so,” lamented Spike as he laid down in the dirt.

“Are you sure? I'm really very mature for my age and I know lots of stuff about ponies and junk,” the now excessively helpful filly, inched forward eagerly.

The dragon sighed in defeat. It wasn't as though he had anything to lose. Placing his claws over his eyes so he wouldn't have to see her reaction, he spoke.

“I have to have sex. It's the only way I can grow up into an adult without crushing Ponyville to rubble or turning into a freak. And a lot of sex. Lots and lots. Like atleast half of Ponyville lots.” Saying it aloud it suddenly sounded so stupid.

“Oh! Is that all?”

Spike peeked from between his claws to see that Scootaloo was now leaning terrifyingly close. He flinched back in alarm.

“I learned all about sex from sex-ed!”

“Uh huh.” Spike was decidedly uncomfortable with the proximity and enthusiasm of the young pegasus.

“If you want to have lots of sex you should talk to ponies that also have lots of sex!” the filly told her sagely.

“That... kind of makes sense...”

“Logically how much sex a pony has is directly related to how cool and awesome they are. So the pony who has the most sex has to be the most cool and awesome pony right?”

Spike could see where this was going and it didn't not make sense.

“You have to ask Rainbow Dash for help!”

Of course. It wasn't the best idea but it was an idea. But the only way forward was through wasn't it?

He really didn't have a better idea.

“Thanks, Scootaloo. You've been really helpful.”

“You know...” the fit and toned young filly glanced at the dragon with half lidded eyes. Her eyebrows waggled suggestively. “I could be even more helpful with your problem.” She laid her hoof across his chest.

Was it desperation? Was it a lingering desire for self destruction? For hours after Spike would question the dark motives behind what he agreed to do next.

But really, when the time came for regret, it was far to late for anything.

Wind whipped past Spikes scaly face, he held his crash helmet in place with one claw and gripped the tow rope with the other. Every crunch of the bearings in the skateboard and and bump in the road set his heart racing.

In front of him pegasus wings blurred forcing ever more speed out of the scooter. She was wearing that manic grin she always wore going this fast. Spike couldn't see it, but he could feel it.

There was a produce wagon in the middle of the street because there always was.

Scootaloo hopped it with practiced ease and Spike was dragged through it in a shower of wooden splinters and lettuce.

After doing a full loop of Ponyville to build up the necessary speed there came the ramp. Well not a ramp really. It was the roof of a house that had stood empty for years with two boards to bridge the gap between it and the ground.

Spike released the tow rope amid the shower of ceramic roofing tiles and he soared up into the sky like a majestic bird.

The aged domicile wobbled briefly before exploding into a fireball for no perceivable reason. Possibly due to exposure to excessive amounts of radicalness.

The drag on the crash helmet pushed him back and the helpless tumble began. The night sky and the ground changed places freely and without care.

He no longer knew where he was, where he was going or if he would die. But still he knew that he had accepted the help of a Cutiemark Crusader and that meant he had no one but himself to blame.

Chapter 6

Spike bounced violently across the reinforced cloud path and the crash helmet went flying off into the dark abyss. Sharp claws attempted to grip the spongy surface in vain.

Lateral speed barely abated he once more soared up into the air flying past luminescent rainbow fountains.

With a crack Spike hit the only hard surface available. The impact echoed all throughout the cloud mansion of Rainbow Dash, Ponyville's most awesome weather pony.

Struggling to re-inflate his lungs the dragon lay mostly quietly on the door step. He could hear sounds coming from within the residence. Like an alarmed pegasus woken from a sound sleep.

“Spike?” asked the rainbow maned pony in her night gown and slippers.

“Heya Dash,” answered Spike as he lay still gasping upon the doorstep.

“What are you doing here, how did you even get up here?”

“I have to... talk to you about some stuff.”

“Huh, I don't... I don't get many visitors,” the pegasus looked sheepishly behind her into her residence.

“It's impor- well it's personal stuff.”

“Okay, come on in. Mind the mess.”

Empty takeout boxes littered the every available surface. More dirty laundry then one would expect a usually nude pony to even own was strewn across the floor and furniture. In defiance of science and reason a teryaki carrot stain was permanently etched into a bare section of cloud wall.

Tip toeing past the squalor Spike made his way to the sofa.

“So... what is this 'personal stuff' you wanted to talk about?”

As Spike settled down onto the sofa, a rat looked up at him, it's mouth still filled with pizza box. It didn't appear to be of the pet variety.

“I wanted to ask you about sex,” explained Spike, his eyes never breaking contact with the curious gaze of the rodent.

“Oh! Sex! I have lots of sex! Like all the time!” Dash explained boastfully.

“That's great to hear, because I've been in a bit of a bind. You see I need to start and I have like no idea where to start.”

“... Like you wouldn't even imagine how much sex I have.” The pegasus continued, perhaps without listening to the dragon at all. “I can barely keep the colts off of this!” she finished pointing to her cutiemark with a hoof.

“Oh, that is a relief. Actually, I also need a specific favour.”

“Sure, I mean like what kind of favour?”

“I mean could I have sex with you?”

“What?”

“I mean, if you have sex all the time, then could maybe you could have some with me too? Like some extra to spare maybe?”

“What?”

“It would really be like a big help.”

“I... I... I suppose I could do... that... for you.” The eyes of the blue pegasus darted in every which direction as though in search of escape. “I mean, I have sex like totally all of the time and of course... I could have sex with you, yeah.”

A moment passed with nothing being said or done. A blush burned across Dash's cheeks.

Spike cleared the debris off of the surface of the couch to make room.

“Oh right, we can have sex on the couch. I have sex on the couch all of the time... It's like the sex couch or something.”

Slowly, meekly, one hoof step at a time Dash stepped up onto and laid down upon the couch. Her breathing was ragged and bordering on hyperventilation.

Spike moved behind, steadying himself my gripping a claw onto her haunch. She flinched. He stroked himself to hardness and Dash stared intently at the place between her front hooves.

The rainbow tail was firmly down. Tightly down covering her genitals. It actually took a moment's work to get his claw under it and lift it aside.

“I lied!”

“What?”

“About the sex couch thing, that was totally a lie, I don't- I don't call it that!”

That... while a curious admission, was not entirely relevant to the task at hand.

Spike gently pressed his cocks into Rainbow Dash's marehood and stopped as they hit... something... something kinda firm but that his hips immediately understood he should just push right through.

“Oh Celestia! I lied!”

Spike briefly wondered if he should say or do something. This allowed his hips to steal the initiative and in a moment he was buried to the hilt, his double dongs plunged deep into that tight mare muff.

“Ow! My flower!” The mare exclaimed in pained alarm.

“What?” Spike was suddenly also alarmed and panicking. Sex wasn't supposed to hurt was it? He felt pretty sure that was the case.

“That's what my mom called it!” Dash put her face down into the sofa and put her hooves over her head.

The dragon glanced around uncertainly looking for some clue as to what he should do. He locked eyes with the rat from before. It offered him no answers as it chewed the morsel of food in it's paws.

“Don't judge me!” the mare demanded.

“Okay! I won't!”

“But you did!”

“I didn't, I swear it!”

“Just... Just don't sit there. Just do it!”

Spike thrust again.

“Ow,” squeaked the pegasus in reply.

Another thrust.

“Ow,” again.

Spike looked down. “There's blood!”

“Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! For Celestia's sake just... do me!”

Horrified Spike fucked the mare. Every thrust was answered with an “ow.” Her face was still buried into the couch and he was pretty certain that she was crying. Not knowing what else he could do he just did as he was told and kept on going.

The rat placidly watched. It also chewed but mostly, it watched.

Finally Spike came heralding the end of this trial.

A gentle shake failed to provoke any reaction from the pegasus. She was either passed out cold or determined to fake it.

He found a bathroom and washed the blood off of his cocks. Then he found an unmade bed and took the blanket down to the living room and tucked Dash in.

Trapped till he could get Dash to help him to the ground he looked around the interior of the mansion. He locked eyes again with the rat.

Then for the next eight hours, Spike cleaned.

He threw out the take-out cartons. He scrubbed the walls and the floors. He did the laundry. He made a cage for the rats and poured them in.

Chapter 7

“Long ago in the magical land of Equestria...” Berry Punch tipped her glass, watching the ice cubes shift. She lifted the glass to her lips and let the last residual of alcohol flavoured ice water flow down her throat. It was time.

“All the little ponies lived in harmony with each other.” The plum coloured earth pony made her way to the bar. Some amount of pushing and shoving was required to get past the throng of young ponies thickly layered around the bar. The blasted kids seem to get younger every year.

“Watch it, bar nag!” responded a mouthy filly as she stumbled out of the way.

The first time a pony had called her that it had ended in a serious fight outside of the bar. Berry was proud of having given just as good as she had gotten.

“A drink!” she shouted over the crowd as she clapped the empty glass onto the bar. The kids got louder every year to.

“I think you've had enough!” shouted back the bar pony as he filled a row of beer mugs.

“One more and maybe I agree with you!”

Wine cooler in hoof the earth pony once again pushed through the storm of loud and energetic youths. She reached an impasse against the crowd and digging her shod hooves into the wooden planks of the floor she muscled her way forwards.

“Will you watch where you're- oh it's just the bar nag.”

She had her drink, her last drink of the night. It was a precious drink and she couldn't risk spilling it. That meant she couldn't thrash that colt.

She made her way back to her empty table in the corner and sat down next to the dragon with the fruity looking drink with an umbrella in it.

“Under the rule of Princess Celestia, the end.” Cradling the glass in her hooves she gave it a friendly introductory sip.

“Hi.”

Better acquainted now she took a savoring swallow, enjoying the burning on her tongue. This really made it all worthwhile.

“I don't really know how this is supposed to work, but it's the only lead Rainbow would give me...”

The warmth spread through her chest and she quietly meditated one the sensation in the bar packed to the rafters with celebrating youth. Youths celebrating their own youth in lieu of anything better. A quick glance confirmed that atleast two pegasi had retreated to the rafters to escape the crowd.

Lousy featherdusters. She wished that she could do the same.

“...I just wish I knew what to say or who I should talk to. How...”

She took another sip and she began to suspect she might be missing something. Like there was a detail just out of her notice that she was over looking.

“...does anyone talk in here? It's too loud to even hear anyone even if their sitting right next to you.”

“Woah! Isn't he a little young for you bar nag?” asked a surprised filly just before she had to duck a well aimed glass.

Things happened after that. She wasn't entirely clear what they were but when she hit the ground outside of the bar she had to give a snort to clear the blood out of her nostrils.

“Go home!” There was a thump on the ground next to her. “And take your dragon with you!”

She contemplated avenging her lost beverage before yielding to the inevitable. She draped her dragon over her back and on unsteady hooves exited stage left.

“Where are we going?”

“Home.” Berry kicked over a rock and fetched her front door key from under it in her lips. The taste of blood, dirt and alcohol blended on her tongue. It was a special kind of taste and one she was familiar with. It carried all kinds of associations with it.

“I don't want to go home.”

“Neither do I. But it's last call and I have no where else to go.” Twisting her head a sharp ninety degrees she unlocked the door and pressed her way inside.

Spike was oddly enraptured as he was carried past the living room. Ornaments, banners, trophies and photo's stood bold and proud upon the shelves overlooking an intimate cluster of couches and chairs. These were arrayed in turn around a central coffee table where an intricately engraved tea set sat. The thick layers of dust suggested that no mortal pony had entered the room in years.

In the kitchen Berry dropped her dragon off at the table and fetched herself a bottle off the counter and pulled the cork free with her teeth. A passionate draw on the vessel proved the contents to be satisfactory.

With a happy sigh she settled down at the table.

She frowned as she perhaps for the first time of the evening looked at Spike.

A moment later she had retrieved a pair of clean enough glasses from the sink full of dishes and placed them upon the table. These she filled from the bottle with a fluid both darker and thicker then blood.

She took another drink.

“I haven't made a bottle of this in years. I wonder if I still could?”

She trembled as she lifted the glass into the air. It's contents absorbed all light when held aloft appearing black and impenetrable.

“Bars were better then. They weren't stuffed with noisy, stupid kids.”

Thick liqueur caressed her tongue like a lover. Burning down her esophagus in a slow and unhurried manner.

“Who am I kidding? I was the louder, stupider and younger then the lot of them put together.”

She set down the empty glass and considered her dragon. His drink sat untouched. His eyes shone with curiosity and his attention was clearly upon her.

She supposed it was understandable. There were a finite number of possibilities a pony could expect after being brought home by the bar nag.

Very finite. Singular infact.

And here she was waxing on and feeling sorry for herself.

Well that would make sense for a pony atleast. So she had to ask.

“What does a dragon do?”

“What?” Spike flinched as though he had been slapped.

“Dragons they do things right? What is it that they do?”

The dragon looked away. “Dragons take things and they break anything they can't take.”

“Hmm, but is that what you are doing?”

“No.”

“So what do you do?”

Silence hung thick over the kitchen and Spike looked away.

Hadn't he taken everything that Cheerilee had to give? Had he not broken Dash? Wasn't he going to do the same here? What else was he here for?

Warm lips pressed into his, a thick tongue intruded into his mouth. He tried to pull back in alarm but a strong hoof wrapped around his kneck holding him firmly but not unkindly. He could taste liquor.

The kiss assured him of his welcome.

Spike kissed back, reaching out his claws to grip at the mare's coat. This was different. This was new. He could feel her desire and his own lifted in answer.

His achingly hard penises pressed prominently against the pony's chest.

Berry dragged the dragon off the chair, sitting down onto the linoleum floor. Her free hoof ran it's self along his rounded spines.

Without breaking the kiss and with much expertise the mare rolled back onto her back drawing Spike and his cocks forward pressing them against her hot moist muff.

Desperately, frantically the dragon grabbed his cocks and fed himself into her.

Panting and rabid with animal lust they fucked.

Dislocated and unattached thoughts, tried to form in Spike's brain as he pounded into the mare as hard as he could. He tried to compare this event with either of his previous encounters and found himself unable to do so.

This was something different. Something fantastic.

Berry gave a loud animalistic whiny as her vag spasmed tightly around the cocks before laying back, spent and content.

Shortly after Spike finished.

Panting for breath the dragon looked on at Berry, sprawled out on her back, her legs still splayed upwards, her drooling muff still on display. Her mane was scattered in every direction, she had a gentle smile and her chest rose and fell in sleep's tempo.

She looked... beautiful like that. Like some majestic and lewd angel descending on Celestia's celestial rays of light on a sacred mission to shove Rarity out of his heart's spotlight of adoration and replace the pale unicorn with just her own hot and wet plum coloured cunt.

He was actually debating whether or not to go again when she vomited.

After rolling the mare onto her side so she wouldn't drown in her own puke, Spike went to work cleaning up the mare and the floor around her. Then he fetched a blanket.

Then he washed up the glasses they had enjoyed together and then the dishes because they where there. Then the rest of the kitchen.

Then the living room. He dusted the shelves and wiped down the myriad trophies and awards, most of which had to do with distilling and brewing. He polished the glass of the photos. He moved onto the furniture and then onto the tea set at the center.

It was still filled with a hardened sludge at the bottom.

This to he cleaned to perfection and placed on the shelf where he could only guess that they went.

Chapter 8

The smell of fresh earth filled her nostrils. And covered her pale magenta hooves. And was blinked away by from her bright green eyes.

With the back of her hoof Daisy attempted to wipe away the dirt only to smear it together with the sweat beading upon her brow to form streaks of mud.

Gardening shovel dangling from her lips she looked on with pride at her garden and it's muted riot of colours and smells. Thick bushes of pink oleander hedged her fences, pads of deep purple anemone flanked the main garden, then her prized purest white carnations edged with a red as vibrant as fresh blood, Then the rows of deep purple hyacinth and primrose and then in the centre her own purest white daisies of her own namesake. All of it delicious and vibrant with life.

Upon spotting a daisy with a dark spot on one of the petals she panicked for a moment before quickly snatching the blemished thing out of the ground by the root.

That had been a close one. With a sigh of relief she lay the flower upon a stone hot from the morning sun so that it would dry and whither.

A slight shudder of alarm streaked through from her hooves and into her withers as her eyes were pulled from her garden and to the eyes of another pony. Somepony who had seen her commit this act of murder? Somepony who knew that she had harboured this imperfect flower within her garden?

Well not a pony. Another someone. It was that baby dragon that her eyes were now locked with.

He was always with that one mare. That bossy one that had moved into the town library. But not today. Today he had apparently escaped his leash.

He was out in the street, apparently he had been walking by when he had seen her, and now he was walking this way.

She looked away for a moment her eyes stopping at the bushes that hedged her fence with their clusters of small pink flowers. She took a nervous breath before looking back.

No, the dragon had not lost interest and continued on his way. Now he was almost at the gate.

She counted the number of steps that she would have to take to get into the safety of her domicile. It was seven. Just seven steps and she would be at her door and then she could be inside and safe and sound.

She took a breath.

“Hi!” he greeted and gave a sure smile.

“... Hi.” she replied eventually. She returned an uncertain smile.

“You have a nice garden.”

“It's not as good as Rose's though.”

“I'm sure they could be if you tried.”

Daisy looked down at the creature's claws.

“Do you happen to have time to talk?” the dragon leaned against her gate.

“Well, we're already talking.”

“I mean we could sit down and talk.”

She backed up three steps, now it was four steps to the safety of her home.

The dragon apparently took this as invitation and stepped through the gate.

Now there was no barrier between her and this creature.

She took two steps back. Now only two steps remained.

The dragon took a step forward and looked down upon the blemished daisy on the stone.

Daisy found her weight shifting. Not to run away but to run forward. She caught herself.

“This is actually a very lovely flower.”

“No, no it's just... garden waste” she explained suddenly shifting from terrified to guilty.

“But the shape is perfect and exquisite,” he reached down and picked it up. “It would be a shame to waste it.”

Of course the shape was perfect! It was one of her flowers! Any fool could look at it and see that it was one of Daisy's flowers. Any fool could see that the colour was mixed up! It was a filthy obscene flower and she had grown it with her own hooves.

“Since you're throwing it out I think I will take it.”

Daisy galloped up to the dragon her eyes wide with alarm and terror.

“You, um ah, you don't want that flower! How about I get you a different flower? Yes that's it! Just let me take that one...” Daisy reached down desperate to snatch the filthy flower from the dragon's greedy grasp but she couldn't bring herself to get close enough to him. Her hooves pranced in place as she attempted to run forwards and backwards at the some time.

“But I like this one.”

Daisy briefly thought about the dragon leaving with the flower. She thought about how everypony in Ponyville would see that awful daisy. They would all know that it was her fault. They would all laugh at her. No pony would buy her flowers and she would be out of a job. She'd have to get some kind of ridiculous and terrible job like selling frying pans.

And she couldn't muster the nerve to just take the flower from the sharp pony shredding claws of the dragon.

Oh, she had a chance. There was something else that she could do.

“Ah. Mister, mister dragon, sir...”

“It's Spike.”

“Spike, sir, you wanted to come inside?”

“Yes, that is exactly what I wanted to do.” He gave a wink but Daisy was far to distracted with ushering the dragon into her home to notice.

With the young dragon seated in her living room struggled to get her nerves under control as prepared the tea.

She would open negotiations by asking for something she didn't want and in turn so would the dragon. But in the interplay they would ask for the things that they did want without letting the other party know what it was that they infact desired.

The dragon being a dragon would desire jewels, just as Daisy desired the flower. But instead they would ask for things that would flatter the other. Dragons were greedy, proud and vain of course.

The water reached a slow simmer.

Daisy fetched a box containing a broach affixed with an emerald the size of her hoof that she had traded for a dozen flowers. She felt certain this trinket would be enough to retrieve the flower.

She poured the now boiling water into the kettle with the tea.

With a sly smile she made her decision as to what she would pretend it was that she desired.

The tea was poured and the pot was set upon the table. Daisy took the seat opposite of the dragon as she prepared for the battle.

The dragon, Spike, she reminded herself, fidgeted before taking his first sip of tea.

Spotting the weakness, Daisy took the offensive.

“I must say, now that I see you better, that you are a most handsome dragon indeed,” she flattered.

“Oh!” he blushed in surprise. “Why thank you Daisy, I must say that you are also a very pretty pony.”

Daisy weighed his response as she took a sip of tea. Was that him just being polite? Still she had to win the flattery before she could begin properly.

“Your scales are so smooth and your spines, they are just so sophisticated,” Daisy randomly applied flattery to his various features in place of more appropriate words like glistening, menacing and horrifying.

“I have always liked the cut of your mane and it looks so soft. Do you get it professionally done?”

Daisy faltered as a blush tried to creep up her neck. “N-no I do it myself,” she stammered briefly. She averted her eyes while she attempted to find another angle of attack, not yet willingly to call it a draw.

“Your garden is very neatly ordered and I don't think many ponies at all have ones nearly as varied as yours is,” the dragon lunged forward crushing her hopes of an early lead.

Daisy quickly tried to figure out what Spike did for a living and how to flatter him for that in turn if only to keep pace with him.

“Those carnations, I haven't seen any quite like that before. Are they your work?”

The mare's jaw dropped.

“Striped carnations have to be hybridized and I mostly see white and purple ones. Well those are the ones that Twilight always gets.”

Daisy had just wanted to express herself. She had just wanted to say something. She had never wanted to be heard.

“She sends daffodils and gets those carnations. It's a crazy world don't you think?”

Rose and Lily poked fun at her for her garden. But that was okay because they where her friends. It wasn't like anypony else really knew what it meant.

The blush filled her cheeks, she had to change the subject and quickly.

“Those hedges you have, they're oleander aren't they?”

“A kiss!” Daisy suddenly shouted. This had been her plan. “I would like a kiss from such a handsome dragon as yourself!” Yes, just ask the pony eating monster for a kiss which it would refuse because of the species difference, but he would be flattered none the less and it would make the negotiations go smoother. See, it was a perfectly reasonable plan! There was no reason to panic!

Her eyes were wide with alarm as the dragon got up and approached her. Her muscled were locked in terrified paralysis as the flesh rending talons gently gripped her neck. Her mouth yielded in absolute submission to his scaly lips and her mind was too shocked to even respond to the narrow and agile tongue as it plunged and explored the cavity of her mouth.

No plan survives contact with the enemy.

The force of the kiss pushed her back, her unresponsive body was tilted until she fell backwards onto the floor and the much lighter dragon was pulled along with her.

Flat upon her back and under this scaled horror she awaited the first pinch of fangs against her delicate pony flesh followed by her looming devourment.

“You wanna have sex?” asked the only slightly flustered dragon. As though he regularly went into ponies homes for this purpose.

Daisy first noticed the member poking into her belly and then her own sopping nethers.

She didn't believe it. Was he really going to play with his food like that before eating?

Her sex winked hungrily as that thought ran through her mind. She decided not to dwell overly on that.

“'Kay,” she responded quietly.

Spike took hold of each of her hind legs as he moved to line up with her.

Wait. What had she said? She had said a word back there and now this was happening!

She gasped as the weirdly shaped dragon wang plunged into her mare cunt.

She couldn't have agreed to this!

Her muff drooled on appreciation as the pony eating beast ravaged her innocence.

Daisy was a good mare. She didn't have sex with monsters. She knew that. It was a fact of life.

A lustful whinny echoed out from her gasping mouth as the mighty creature rubbed its' twisted phallus against the inside of her innocence.

That is why Daisy grew the carnations.

Small and helpless the mare squirmed belong the hideous thing made her its' own. Her now wantonly wet snatch rejoiced in it's defection.

The solid white petals with the bloody edges to express her rejection. She had handed them out so freely.

Innocence? Purity? What did those words mean to her now? She was submitted herself as the terrific dragon's whore as it plunged into her over and over again.

She really hadn't wanted to reject all of them had she? She had never wanted to be left alone.

Her womb shuddered violently in response to the torrents of hot semen that flooded her sex. She shouted some kind of obscenity and her face relaxed into a massive grin that hurt her cheek muscles.

With her eyes closed Daisy gasped for breath as she tried to come to grips with her sudden emptiness as the beast had abandoned her.

When she opened her eyes she saw something curious. A harmless little dragon, almost kind of cute who was cleaning up her tea set in a most helpful and beneficial manner.

She wondered where the monster had gone before closing her eyes and drifting off into a nap.

It wouldn't be until much later that she would remember about the flower.
