Spike and the Mane-iac 3
Opportunity of a Lifetime
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn the Crystal Colosseum, Spike was performing his guitar techniques in front of all the Crystal Ponies, who seem to adore him the most since he is their hero. The baby dragon just kept on shredding and playing those wicked chords while Mane-iac was watching from the front of the stage, feeling more than lucky to watch him perform up close. Next to her was Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, also enjoying the show.
He was performing the ninth and last song for his adoring subjects. When he was finished, he heard possibly one of the loudest applause he had heard since the club at Maretropolis, the Crazy Mare club that just opened, and Nightmare Night last year.
"Thank you!" Spike announced at the top of his lungs through the microphone. "I hope you all enjoyed my songs." Oh, he could hear the endless screaming and cheering of the Crystal Ponies. Then he saw a bunch of crystal mares and fillies, all wanting him, screaming at the top of their lungs like a bunch of fangirls would normally do to a heavy metal superstar
"We love you!" screamed a filly
"Marry me!" said a mare.
Mane-iac was offended and stepped in front of them with her tendrils ready to push them all back at once. "Give him some space!" she demanded. "He is my husband, remember?"
"Aww!" they all said.
Spike smiled. "Ladies, ladies, I can still give you autographs." he said. Then all their demeanor changed from bummed to hyper-excited again. Then Spike pulled out his quill pen, and all the ladies formed a neat, single-file line in front of him.
"Would you like any help with this, sweetie?" his insane wife kindly offered.
"No, I'm sure I...." Then, he saw the long line of all his fans just wanting an autograph from their hero. "Whoa. On second thought, I think I do." He was a little usher if he could do this, but he decided to keep all his fans happy and entertained.
Besides, with all the songs and music he is playing, he is being worshipped more than ever, almost like a god of some kind, or a demigod.
"Ah well, at least it will go fast." He thought out loud.
"Don't worry, my little Spikey-Whikey." Mane-iac said sweetly. "I will help you on any way I can with this."
The baby dragon smiled at her. He was so happy to put his trust and faith in his wife. "Thank you, Mane-iac." He said.
"Anytime,"
Then they all got started and Spike began signing autographs, fan after fan, and poster after poster. It did turn out that the line was gong fast, but there was still quite a long line to satisfy in front of him, the whole stadium to be exact.
All of this took at least one hour and thirty minutes long, and all of the Crystal Ponies were more than happy to have a signature from Spike. His hand was all sore from all that moving to write his own name.
Being a rockstar is never easy, and he knew it well. "Well, at least all my friends and wife are happy for me." He said in his brain,
Then he looked at Cadence and Shining Armor. "Spike, you did so awesome." Said Shining. "You totally rocked it out there." The he gave the baby dragon a gentle arm jab,
Spike laughed "thanks, Shining." He replied to him
"Yes, you were really amazing. Everypony loved you, well.... More than ever." Cadence made a little chuckle.
"I know."
"Is there anything Spike cannot do?" Said Mane-iac. Then she hugged him with her tendrils. "He is one in a million! Ohh!"
"Totally. He is a dragon with many talents," Shining agreed,
"Oh stop it, guys." Spike flushed a shade of red on his face. Then he gave a little yawn,
"Ooh, I think a certain wittle baby dragon needs his wittle nap time." Mane-iac teased.
"Yeah. I do." Spike made another yawn and covered his mouth, making a few smacking noises with his lips. "I don't know if I can even walk around anymore."
"Here, let me give you a hoof." Said his insane wife, gently pulling him up so he can ride on her back. "There, you ready to go back to the castle?"
"Uh huh."
"Brilliant." Mane-iac turned her attention to Cadence and Shining. "Thank you so much for helping us with this concert for my little prince here."
"You are very welcome, Mane-iac. And remember, you are more than welcome to come talk to me or Shining Armor about anything. "
Mane-iac nodded to her. "I know that."
"Well, see you soon, and have a good night." Said Shining.
"Goodnight." Then the Mane-iac was off. She was more than glad to be with Spike and help him with this little concert. They didn't have to clean up everything, because Candece sent some of the guards to do that for him. After all, who would even force Great and Honorable Spike the Brave and Glorious to clean up a whole mess?
"So, Mane-iac, do you think things at the Crazy Mare are okay?"
"Of course. Hair Stylish is keeping everything under well in check." She replied. "Oh yes, this is the life. Having to stay in your own castle, and being worshipped like a hero and all."
Spike made a small laugh "I know. This is so great."
"Yes, you being treated like a king is quite an honor. And I wonder if that would make me like a queen, hahaha!"
"I do hate to say it, but this place is mostly Cadence and Shining's castle."
"Oh either way." Mane-iac shrugged. Everypony worships you, and they will do everything you want, right?"
"Right."
"Them don't worry. All the power you have here will not go away." She winked at him. "So do tell me, what would you like to do tomorrow?"
"Well we can go to the Crystal swimming pool. If you like swimming."
"I love swimming!"
"Awesome!"
Then Mane-iac entered the castle, and went up to the special room. She tucked him in bed, tod him goodnight, and gave him her magic kiss.
"Aren't you coming to bed, Mane-iac?"
"Oh yes yes, of course. In a little while."
"Okay. Goodnight." The. He was asleep.
She knew it sounded a little creepy, but she looked at him as he was sleeping, smiling warmly. She would obliterate anypony who would rudely wake up him, and she promised them t would not be a pleasant thing.
After that, she quietly left the room, and looked around her. There was hardly anypony in the hallways, except for a few guards of course. The next thing she did was go out on a little walk through some parts of the castle. While she was sitting on the couch that Spike would be fed grapes, she heard a chatter of voices.
Curiously, she looked, and there was some kind of... Camera crew of some kind, with their leader being a stallion with shades, black hair, and a yellow coat. "Ah, just the mare we wanted to see."
"Can I help you all?" Mane-iac asked uncomfortably.
"Why yes." Said the stallion. "We have been looking all over for you and your hubby, Mane-iac."
"You.... Know about us?"
"Duh, everypony in Equestria knows. Now, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Camera Len, and I am a world famous producer and director, and I have come to offer you to have.... Your own show."
Mane-iac was surprised by this. "A.... Show?!" She was rathe flicking the idea of being a TV star.
"A reality show!" He added. "All about you, Spike, and your life on e big screen. Thrills, comedy, romance, that sort of thing!"
"Really?" She can already feel the stardom flowing through her.
"Really really." He winked. "And not to mention playing those tasty shreds on the guitar." He did a rather embarrassing impression of a guitar solo, and they all stared at him in confusion. The stallion cleared his throat as he got up. "So, what do you say? Would you like to be on the big screen?"
This was all flattering, but he wanted to one if Spike wanted this. "Well, this is amazing, but can I please talk to Spike about this first, then we will discuss this reality show business?"
"Of course. Think about it. Let us know as soon as you can, and we will make it all possible if you both say yes."
Mane-iac was relieved to hear that. "Good. We might let you know tomorrow."
"Brilliant! And don't worry, we understand if you don't want any part of this, you guys are one of Equestria's cutest new couples after all. They will love you on TV."
"And if you want to look for us, come find us in Ponyville."
"Don't worry, we know you are on vacation so enjoy yourselves and travel back to Ponyville safely. Come on, fellas." Then he was off with his film posse.
This was rather new to her. What would Spike think about all of this? Well. For now, she didn't have to worry about it, and just decided to enjoy the vacation they deserve.
The Next Morning
Mane-iac and Spike awoke under the morning light from out the window. "Good morning, sweetie."
"Good morning, Mane-iac." The baby dragon yawned while stretching his arms.
"So listen sweetie, after I tucked you in, a producer named Camera Len said he wanted to do a reality show about us."
"Camera Len?" Spike asked "the most famous TV producer in all of Equestria. The Mane-iac realized that since she is not originally from Ponyville, she didn't really follow up on everything in Equestria, including fashionistas or producers like a camera.
"Yes. He wants to do a really show about us. What do you say, sweetie?"
"That.... That's amazing!" He exclaimed with joy. "Us being TV stars, getting more publicity"
"Oh indeed. We will be famous..... More famous, I mean."
"Right. Well, it is nice, but... Can I at least think about it?"
"Of course. I will be more than Happy to give Camera and his friends a call about it. In the meantime. Let's have a swim!"
Then Spike and Mane-iac went to the castle pool for a refreshing, morning dip in it to start the day. While walking downstairs, Spike was thinking about what this show would be like, and realized that it might be in their personal space if not careful.
"What is it, Spikey-poo?" Mane-iac asked him, noticing that he was thinking about something like it wasn't so good.
"What if it cuts us from our lives? What if it never leaves us along in our privacy together."
"Oh pish posh, sweetie." Mane-iac said. "They sounded like professionals. What could possibly go wrong, my dear husband?"
The baby dragon was thinking again, "yeah, I guess you're right. I shouldn't be to quick to judgement. Maybe it will be awesome."
"There you have it! Now please stop worrying about it so much. For now, we still Have our vacation, and some..... Times for sing alone together." She snuggled close to him and purred like a cat would, making him aroused and flustered
"Oh well, you know." He muttered. Then they reached the pool at last. Spike already did a cannonball with a big splash while Mane-iac took a dip after him, letting her beautiful mane and tail being socks on the waters.
"Ooh this is refreshing." Mane-iac said with a sigh. Then she opened her arms "come here, sweetie." Then the baby dragon let himself be hugged by Mane-iac in the pool, keeping him close as they relaxed together on this calm, serene morning.
