Spike and the Mane-iac 3

At last, the day came when the start of the reality show that will star Spike and Mane-iac has come. Of course, like anypony else who might become a star, Spike was nervous to his feet, for he never had a TV interview before. It was rather scary considering the fact that countless viewers will be watching them on set.

In Ponyville, within the center town hall, there was Camera Lens and his crew looking around the interior and were getting all ready for the interviews.

Backstage, Spike was feeling more than nervous, like on the verge on vomiting on the floor from all this oressure. He peeped through the curtain and saw many cameras all focusing on the stars who will be interviewed. The large doors opened, and it revealed to be Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity, his closest friends.

"The princess of Friendship is here!" Said a camera mare. They all gasped and bowed to Twilight in complete respect.

"Oh Princess Twilight Sparkle and friends." Said Camera Len shaking her hoof in a very rough posture. "Please allow me to introduce myself, I am-"

'Camera Len. I have heard so much about you, and how toy are planning to create a reality TV show about Spike and Mane-iac."

"What a smart mare." Said Camera Len impressively. "Indeed, we notice that Spike and Mane-iac are quite popular, maybe more than Fancy Pants and Fleur De Lis."

"Oh! Can I be in it?" Rarity rudely interrupted, squeezing against Twilight and Fluttershy's faces. "I can be a major star too, just imagine me in the spotlight and showing off my- waah!" Twilight annoyingly pushed her out of the way so she can continue.

"Anywho, we just wanted tocongratulate Spike and Mane-iac for having a show."

"Well, you are all welcome to be on my show too, some you are Spike's very best friends, and saved Equestria like a million times before."

The six mares all smiled. Rarity popped out of nowhere with a wider grin showing her teeth and her eyes Shining like a glistening star. "Brilliant!" She exclaimed. "Oh, and I simply must have makeup and a shining dress with a touch of lipstick."

He friends groaned in mild irritation.

Camera then clapped his hooves two times "Latte!" He blurted out. "I need a chocolate latte!" One of the camera crew rushed to his side with an iced coffe. "Ah, much better." Then he took a sip.

"Hey guys." Spike said. He and his wife approached them with happy expressions. "You came."

"Obviously, you all came to see us about the show, did you not?" asked Man-iac

"Of course, we wouldn't have missed it for the better." Fluttershy replied. "We just wanted to say how proud we are proud and happy for you."

"Yeah, I never thought you would become a TV star." Applejack added.

"And now we are going to be stars too! Eek!" Rarity squealed.

"And what about me? Surely you all must be happy that moi, Spike's new loving wife is going to get more recognition."

They all laughed. "Of course! We all know you will be in it, Mane-iac." Said Pinkie.

"So how do you feel about this?" Twilight asked him. Of course she would ask that to him because she is like a big sister to him. Spike rubbed the back of his head. She obviously knew what that meant "litter nervous, huh?"

"Yeah. I admit it."

"Ah don't worry. You'll be the next sensation, and not just in the Crystal Empire, but all of Equestria will remember your name for generations to come." He smooshed his face to the baby dragon's "not to mention that reality TV stars get paid more than any other actor."

Spike thought of how nice it would be to have more money with him and the Mane-iac. With more bits than before, he could buy his own tanning bed, or a whole set of guitars and strings if any of then broke in dew time. "It would be nice." He brainstormed. "What do I need to do?"

"Well, of course, just pretend we are not here when filming you or your wife, and just go on with your normal everyday life, and the same thing with you, Mane-iac." Camera Len turned to Twilight and her cronies. "What about you ladies? Can you all handle that?"

Fluttershy of course, was nervous and hated performing in front of other ponies even if it was just in front of the camera, like the time Photo Finish made her into a fashion model which was meant for Rarity. "Umm, I don't know." She admitted in her very soft and quiet voice.

"Like we said before, just pretend we're not here and you'll be just fine."

"And think about it, getting paid with all that golden money." Rainbow added with dollar signs forming in her eyes.

"And the fame!" Rarity added. "I can already imagine myself a superstar!"

"Careful not to let the fame go to your head." Applejack teased.

"Our an angry mob come and get us because they might get jealous!" Pinkie blurted. Rainbow boinked her hard on the head with her hoof. "Ow! what was that for?"

"Two words Not. Helping." The cyan pegasus replied firmly.

"You'll be fine Fluttershy." said Twilight. "Remember the tornado up to Cloudsdale?"

"I do." she smiled.

"See? you can do this." said Rainbow with encouragement.

"Anyway, the interviews will begin soon. Spike, Mane-iac, you guys will go first since you will be the mane attraction! Hahahahaha! get it?" however, everypony else looked at him with no amusement on their faces. "Ah, i'm terrible."

"You should really leave the puns to the Mane-iac." Spike whispered in his ear. "nopony does it better than her."

"Alright people! ready the interviews! time is money, chop chop!" Camera announced. The crew rushed around the building, getting ready for the interviews on the show. The mane six, Spike, and Mane-iac were more than excited.

Spike gulped, but overcame his fears when Mane-iac put her hoof on his shoulder, smiling warmly, saying that he'll be alright, then he smiled at her back, knowing that everything will be fine, and it will all go smooth sailing from here. "Well.... here goes." he said, with a boost of confidence. He approached the stool, and climbed on it, in front of the main camera.

"alright, Spike." Camera Len began, clearing his throat to begin the first interview. "now do tell me a little about yourself."

"Well.... I.... um, let me think. I love eating gems and jewels, hanging with my best friends, and beautiful wife Mane-iac." he made bedroom eyes at her while she was offscreen. She giggled in response in the background. "Oh, I also like spending time with them, writing stuff, I am a dragon of many talents."

"Fascinating, now I heard you are a guitarist, am I correct?"

"Yep! the best guitarist in all of Equestria, well baby dragon guitarist I mean."

"Right, and what about singing? you are good at that, right?"

"Of course. Like I said, I am a baby dragon with many talents within himself." he gloated. Twilight smirked and rolled her eyes playfully behind the director. "So anyway, I know a few tricks up my sleeve, but telling you all of them will take all night."

"Perfectly understandable. So, what more can you tell us a little about yourself?"

"I'm always there for my wife and my friends if needed of course. I feel like I'm.... A little brother to Twilight. She was always there for me ever since I hatched from my egg."

"And what may I ask happened to your parents?" Camera asked curiously. Spike made a small frown of sadness and sentimentality, and his wife and friends looked at him with concern.

"I.... I don't know. Can we please move on to the next question?"

"Sorry. Moving on now. Me and my crew here tells me you and Mane-iac now run a club together called the Crazy Mare, right?"

"Yep. It is an amazing place where I can perform my awesome guitar licks and sing whenever I want. The Crazy Mare is becoming so popular. I wonder if it will keep up."

"Pretty sure it will." Said a camera stallion next to Len. "My niece went over there, and she loved it, and your performance."

"Oh, if you see her, spdo you think you can tell her thank you for attending?"

"Totally, I'll remember that the next time we see each other again."

"Let's continue with the interview, shall we?" Camera Len reminded

"Right." Spike cleared his throat. "So, I don't know what to say next, I think that's all the time I have." He confessed,

"That's fine." The director remarked. "Next soon-to-be star to the stand." Then Mane-iac was the one sitting on the stool, spraying some of her mane with detangler. "Mane-iac, you are one of the most famous comic book characters in history, correct?"

"That I am. No pony will ever forget about me, The Mane-iac! Mwahahahahaha!" She cackled. Mane-iac realized that she was bringing a little.... Unwanted attention, and stopped her maniacal laughter, c,daring her throat. "The point is that I a, indeed one of the most famous super villains of all time."

"Right. How often to do you Spike hang out with eachother?"

"Whenever there was any opportunity that would come our way, but most of the time, we do fun times together everyday. Oh Spike makes me so happy, I cannot tell you how much he is the reason for me living." She sighed

"That's deep, really deep."

"Isn't it? I was worried I might have overdone myself by saying such a thing like that,"

"Well, do you feel that way about Spike?"

Mane-iac made a "pfft" sound with her mouth, and replied "of course I do. He is my mari (husband) and I will always be there for him till I do, and he would do the same thing for me, isn't that right, Spikey-poo?"

"Yeah! I love you."

Mane-iac smiled at his comment. "Exactly. You see me and Spike have been together for quite some time now. He taught me about kindness and humility."

"Once again, deep." Camera remarked the second time. "So, you are married to Spike now, but do you still commit crimes as a super villain?"

She made a mild nervous look and chuckled "do I have to be honest about that?"

They all laughed "of course not.." Camera Len stated "it was just a little joke, fooling around and such."

"Oh, that quite alright. Let me tell you something, please, do not record any embarrassing subjects from mon chere, or else." Her voice sounded to become like a threat now. "If you all make him cry, or crush his spirit, then...." She formed a number of her tendrils into many weapons like swords, spears, arrows, and more.

Camera Len gulped, and replied "yes ma'am."

Mane-iac had a change of demeanor and said "brilliant. Now that is all I have to say, and I look forward to be on the show with Spikey-Whikey." She gave him an air kiss.

"We look forward to have you guys in a show, too. Next up!"

Rarity then cut in front of everypony and promptly sat on the stool. "Hello my darlings, my name is Rarity Belle, and I would like to say I am going to be a star! Bring on as much fancy dresses and spotlights as you will all like, and could somepony please give me a makeover?"

Then a mare from the makeup department gave Rarity a rather cheesy makeover. She had overgrown lipstick and her mascara was not as beautiful as it looked. She kind of looked like a zombie. Some of the others chuckled while many more looked at her in a WTF expression.

"What? Did they miss a spot?"

"Oh no, they were-" Applejack snickered. "Very thorough, he he he"

Rarity was a little confused and thought of a silly idea when Applejack would try to explain something, she would just say blah blah blah over and over again. At the end, within Applejack's mind, the figment said to herself that she is rambunctious and smelled like dog poop."

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, Applejack." Oh yes, Rarity would make an amazing main cast member for this new upcoming show. And so the I terriers continued, and after it was all done, Camera told them that he and his colleagues will let them all know the next day,
