Spike and the Mane-iac 3

The Crazy Mare was already becoming white a huge success. As a matter of fact, Spike and Mane-iac were making more money than they have ever imagined. Of course, the Hench-stallions of the unhinged villainess got their fair share of the profits being made. Despite this, Spike and Mane-iac made white a fortune with this new nightclub. Not only that, but everypony has been taking a liking to it, now becoming one of the most popular places to visit in all of Ponyville.

"Wow, look at all this money!" Spike said, swirling around making his own shower of bits.

Mane-iac counted the dollars "four-thousand-nine hundred- ninety nine, Five thousand!" She had money signs forming in her eyes, and grew a large smile on her face. "Oh, this is the life. How I love the way money looks, and how it smells." She sniffed on the paper money with her nose. "Ah, don't you just love making big money, Spike?"

"Who wouldn't."

"Excellent point!" Then they both had a laugh.

"I has the feeling that this idea would be successful, but i never thought that the Crazy Mare would be THAT successful. Still, I got some big money."

"I know. To be honest, I could hardly believe it myself." She kissed the money again before saying "and listen to this, you were the MANE attraction last night! Hahaha!"

The baby dragon smirked and rolled his eyes while nodding his head sideways. "I k ow exactly what you mean, Mane-iac. You're right, everypony loved me." Then Spike thought of the stardom he was receiving last night.

"How could they not love a d cute, adorable dragon like you?" Mane-iac playfully teased. "You are quite a star after all."

This made Spike dream more and more deep in his imagination. "I am. I guess some ponies can never get enough of me, huh?"

She made another small maniacal laugh "quite right, darling. Now, you won't forget the our trip for the a Crystal Empire, right?"

Spike made a gasped "oh my gosh! You're right, I need to get my bags!" He was about to leave the room, but was stopped by a tendril pulling him closer to her

"No now." Said Mane-iac "there is no need to be so anxious. We will get to that train soon enough. Now, let me help you with the bags."

"You're right." The baby dragon replied, feelings more calm than before.

As of now, they were going on vacation to the Crystal Empire as a first thing to sped their money.

On the train, Spike was sitting with his beautiful, yet insane wife on the train to the major northern city. He could hardly wait to see all of his fans, the people who worship him after saving Equestria three times. "You look white excited." Mane-iac pointed.

"I know, I'm excited because everypony loves me in the Crystal Empire." The baby dragon replied "I mean, they all love me like a hero

"I cannot imagine why," she chuckled "after all, you did save this beautiful city before."

Spike felt all the more reason to be excited. "Now everypony in the Crystal Empire will be more than happy to see me back here." He daydreamed in his own little imagination, hearing the roaring of cheering from the citizens of the Empire.

He realized that the voices sounded to become like the Mane-Iac's and not as enthusiastic as they were chanting before. "Spike. We are here. Are you alright, sweetie?"

"What? Oh sorry. I'm just thinking how everypony will be so happy to see me when I arrive. "Ah the sweet smell of being a hero."

Mane-iac smirked and giggled. "Well, you will not have to wait for much longer." She said "we are just about to stop."

Her prediction was correct, the train went to an immediate halt and got off at e Crystal Empire train station. The Mane-iac lookd at the large, crystal tower, and was astounded by it's beauty. "Ain't this city beautiful?"

"Oh yes." She replied in great awe. "I mean, you have always said this city was marvelous, but never this marvelous. I am so glad that you would be a hero in a city like this." Then she licked him up for a piggy back ride for him "would you like me to carry you, little hero?" She offered

"It would be a great honor, my evil wife." They both laughed and smiled at eachother, not before saying "I love you." To one another, and ended with a kiss.

As they were strolling down the road, they all saw Spike's fan ponies cheering him on, all running up to him. "Aaah! It's him!" One mare exclaimed in the wildest excitement. He noticed that many mares were taking a fashion craze of Mane-iac's suit like from Ponyville when the craze happen there.

Mane-iac was happy to see her suits still going polular. She wondered if all of Equestria will follow this craze too. Ponyville had it, and so did Canterlot, and now the Crystal Empire. Turns out before they know it, this new fashionable suit will spread all across Equestria like wildfire.

"Oh boy, here they come." Spike smirked. He saw many fans crowding up to him and the Mane-iac.

"Oh, can I have an autograph, Great and Honorable Spike the Brave and Glorious?" Said a stallion.

"I asked first!" Said a stallion.

"Mares's first!"

The Mane-iac pulled them away from him to not invade his personal space, or make him nervous. "Back up. All of you!" She said, sounding like a bodygaurd. "Give my little Spikey-Whikey some space!"

Spike laughed "it's okay, Mane-iac. Everypony, let's not fight over me. There is plenty of Spike for everypony!" They all cheered for him.

"My, you really do have a name in the popular crowd."

"Are you kidding me? Spike is our hero!" Said a colt.

"He saved us like three times." A mare added. "We love you, Spike!"

"Now now, guys. Please. I need some space. I need to get into the castle."

"Aww!" They all said with a change of demeanor from happy to bummed out.

"Oh, come on. I'll give you all autographs later. I promise." The baby dragon concluded. "For now, me and my beautiful wife need a little alone time."

They all cheered one more time before Mane-iac pressed forward to the castle. "Oh my, this castle is even bigger in the flesh. Oh. How I wish we can own one of these buildings."

"Oh, I do. They all worship me like their God and savior, even though Cadence and Shining Armor rule this city, i'm still an important guy."

Mane-iac laughed. "Well, even though you might not be as important as princess Cadence and her husband in this city, you will always be a king to me."

The baby dragon was really touched to hear her say that. "Thank's Mane-iac." Then he hugged her neck.

"Oh. You are so welcome, my little Spikey-poo " she baby-talked at him, playing with his chin."

Spike was feeling rather embarrassed. He muttered in her ear "Mane-iac, not in front of the guards. Or my fans."

"Hmm, let them look." She purred. In a change of demeanor, she asked "so what do you think we should do around here?"

The baby dragon was thinking about anything fun. There was the stadium, but there was no event happening, especially the Equestria games. "Oh, I can give you a tour of the castle. And a look at the Crystal Heart." He decided

"Crystal.... heart?"

"Yeah. It is what keeps the Crystal Empire in harmony and in balance. You see, one thousand years ago, there was an evil ruler over this city named King Sombra. He ruled over this place with an iron hoof with no compassion whatsoever. He enslaved all his subjects and dealt away with anypony who would cross him."

The Mane-iac had a look of fascination. She did give him credit for being a fearful king spreading mayhem and chaos. Because she still has some evil in her, she was taking a liking to him. Not in a romantic way, of course, but like being inspired by the fallen dark king. She even almost wished that she could have met him and ask him how to properly take over a whole world or city, and how to deal with the enemies that she would hate the most. "Interesting." she said

"You see, he returned one year ago, still wanting to rule the kingdom with his mighty hoof of evil, and was trying to touch the Crystal Heart so it can be infected with his evil. But, me and Cadence stopped him and saved the whole Crystal Empire and that's how I became a hero."

In one half, Mane-iac was saddened to hear that King Sombra was already dead, but in the other half of herself, she was so happy and proud of Spike for doing such an act of bravery, even though she was a supervillain. "That's wonderful to hear. I for one have like to have met this king Sombra. I would like to know how to powerfully crush all my enemies and take over the world! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"Uh, Mane-iac, you're doing it again."

"Oops, sorry."

"It's okay. I know you can't help it." Spike winked at her playfully. "So, come on, let's go see what Shining Armor and a princess Cadence can do for our stay."

"Rig behind you, darling."

As they stepped inside, a changeling was walking up to them.

"Wha-?! A changeling?" The unhinged mare exclaimed in surprise. She gritted her teeth with anger and rage and formed tendrils that resembled swords, maces, and axes on her mane.

"Whoa, Whoa, whoa!" Spike intervened. "This changeling is a nice one. P,ease, Mane-iac, put your weapons away, dear."

She was highly reluctant about this, because of he time she and the changeling fought viciously because she wanted to rape Spike to repopulate the Changeling race. Nonetheless, she reluctantly turned her mane back to the way it was before. "Sorry." She said flatly

"Hi, Spike." Said the Changeling in a kind tone of voice, which was something rather unusual for Mane-iac to hear.

"Hey, Thorax! What's up?"

"Not much." Then he looked t the crazy mare. "And who might this be?"

"This is Mane-iac from the Power Ponies comic books. She' my wife." They both held eachother's paws and hooves in a romantic fashion

"Aww, congratulations, little buddy." Thorax congratulated his very first friend he ever made. "I'm so happy for you, and nice to meet you, Mane-iac. My name is Thorax. Now, please don't be alarmed. I didn't mean to scare you, but you should know I am not a bad changeling,"

She was feeling suspicious of him, and still distrusted this rather odd insect. "Well.... Charmed, I guess." Was all she said, very distinctly

"So, what brings you here?"

"I'm staying her for a little while, if you do not mind."

"Oh no, of course not. Besides, it's really up to princess Cadence and a shining Armor to decide that. Well, see you later buddy, I gotta go help Sunburst with a few things on his library."

"That's cool, bye."

Then the changeling went out of the castle. Then Spike and Mane-iac pressed forward. "I am a little confused, Spikey, how do you know that changeling? And why didn't he suck the love dry out of you?"

"That was Thorax. He is a really nice guy, and he is nothing like Chrysalis and her children"

"Oh. I see."

Then the doors to the throne room flew open, and revealed a princess Cadence sitting on her throne with her husband standing right next to her just because, and a few crystal guards to protect them from any harm's way.

"Ah, Spike, Mane-iac, welcome." Said Cadence

"What brings you both here?" Asked Shining Armor.

"Well, me and my beautiful wife were wondering if we can sty in the Crystal Empire. You see, we want some... Alone time for the celebration."

"Celebration?" The couple said in unison and in question. "For what exactly?" Asked Shining

"Well, Mane-iac invented a new nightclub called the Crazy Mare, and it has become a great hit, and get this, we are making a lot of money."

"Shining and the princess went "ooh."

"Wait, Mane-iac, do you have the license for it?' Shining asked suspiciously

This made the mare's heart drop to her feet. "Oh, well I-"

"Just kidding!" Shining joked "that's really good for you."

"Maybe we should go there some time. What do you think, sweetie?"

"I think you're right." Her husband agreed,

"So, in the meantime, can we get the best, nicest room we can sleep in?" Said Mane-iac

"Of course, since you are a hero around here, Spike, you will be given the best room there is in the castle"

They both smiled widely.

The Mane-iac had a little thought "say, Spike, how would you like to go see the whole city from the top of the castle?"

"Sure. That's a good ideaAAAAA!" Then Spike was grabbed and saw that the Mane-iac was going out the windo, and climbed to the highest point in the castle.

"Mane-iac, wait!" Shining called out to her.

"Don't worry, Shining." Said Cadence. "They will be fine, after all, love can be a rather strange and crazy thing to happen."

"True."

Spik's face went from fear to optimistic as he was wrapped around a tendril looking at the whole city below with Mane-iac "wow, what a beautiful view."

"I know, Spike. I know."
