Spike and the Mane-iac 3

Back home on Ponyville, Spike and Mane-iac were having som frozen yogurt together from the ice cream shop. Both of them were just eating cones with chocolate-vanilla frozen yogurt, soft-served that is. The baby dragon was really enjoying his treat, and so was the Mane-iac.

It was quite a commotion when Garble and his no-good cronies tried to kill him a little while back. Despite that, he was alright, and not scarred for life by that.

Although he couldn't quite be sure If Garble, or his buddies will come back to make a smarter, and more determined attempt to kill him out of revenge. If not for Mane-iac, he would have been history, which is probably making him think that Garble and his posse won't come back, because they were all so scared of her by her craziness. "Mane-iac?"

"Yes, my darling?"

"Thank you again for saving me back there."

Mane-iac smiled warmly at him, and replied "You are quite welcome, Spike-poo, those meatheads didn't stand a chance against me! Hahaha." And she licked her ice cream again.

Spike made a small chuckle, and said "Yeah, and especially he was crying out for his mommy!" And they both had a laugh together. "You still don't think they will come back to try and kill me again, will they?"

"Oh Pfft, don't be redonkulous." She scoffed. "As long as I am still here, Gable and his idiot partners wouldn't even bother trying to come back. That way, they will have to face my wrath again! Mwahahahaha!" She cakled. Mane-iac realized she was accidentally drawing a crowd and said "my sincere apologies, carry on with your treats."

And the other store patrons minded their own businesses. Spike and his beautiful yet deranged wife went back to eating their ice cream. "Boy, I love the taste of chocolate-vanilla swirl." Spike muttered.

"Oh ho, I agree. This is so delicious.

The baby dragon was unaware that he had some ice cream on his mouth from all that licking, and Mane-iac began snickering to herself.

Curious and confused, Spike asked "what's so funny, Mane-iac?"

"You... might want to look at your reflection. Hehehehe."

Spike looked at himself through one of the windows, and saw that he had some ice cream on his face. When he screamed, Mane-iac was laughing harder than before. "Oops, better wash that off." And he hurriedly went to the bathroom to tend to his face.

Mane-iac gave one last laugh, and said "so cute." And finished her frozen yogurt. It was just then Twilight and the others came inside the shop in a hurriedly type of fashion, as if there was an emergency. "A, what brings you all here?" Mane-iac asked curiously

"We heard that Spike had a run in with Garble!" Twilight exclaimed in a voice of slight panic.

"Is he okay?" Asked Fluttershy, also having a worried look on her face.

"It's alright, it's alright." Mane-iac chuckled. "Spike is fine and safe, thanks to moi of course.' She used her tendrils to form fingers pointing at her. "And anywho, he is just washing the ice cream off of his cute face."

And the six mares sighed in relief. "What a relief." Said Rarity. "It gave us quite horrible scare."

"Yeah, I would have taken on Garble and his morons myself." Said Rainbow, cracking her knuckles. "Just wait till I get my hooves on them. I can take them with one hoof tied behind my baack!"

"Easy, Rainbow." Said Applejack. "We don't have to worry about that."

"Right." Twilight agreed. "But, why was he trying to hurt you?"

And it was just then Spike came out of the bathroom, his face nice and clean. "Oh, guys, what are you doing here?" The baby dragon asked them.

Then Fluttershy went up to him, and hugged Spike so tightly and warmly. "Spike! Thank goodbess, you're okay." She said. "We heard about you and Garble. I was so worried about you."

"So was i." Twilight added. Her other friends made remarks of agreement with her, and all joined in on the hug as a group.

Spike was feeling touched by all this flattery. "Aw, thanks guys. You're the best." And they all broke away with smiles still on their faces. "But I think you should thank Mane-iac. If not for her, u woukd have been made into roast dragon, or dragon soup."

All the mares laughed at what he just said. "Spike, you are quite hilarious." Mane-iac remarked. "And I love you

"I love you too, Mane-iac." And the married couple hugged each other very lovingly. It kid of got a little attention from the other patrons, and all of them, including the elements of harmony went "Aww."

When they broke up, Spike asked his friends "since you guys are here, would you like some ice cream?"

"That would be tremendous!" Pinkie bounced with joy.

"It would be quite an honor." Rarity added

"Yeah, I haven't eaten anything all day since breamfast, and her stomach began growling so loudly, like a Werewolf was inside of it." Said Applejack. "All that usual Apple harvesting sure makes me hungry."

Then they all went in line, and got themselves a frozen treat of their own. Six was definitely a crowd. So they had to split in groups with Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash in one table next to Spike and Mane-iac, and the opposite one consisting of Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow Dash was eating her ice cream so fast, that she felt something aching inside her head a little. "Ah!" She helped "Brain freeze!"

"Oh oh oh! I want Brain-freeze too!" Said Pinkie with joy. Then she hurriedly ate her frozen yogurt, and had mild migraine of her own. She made a small scream of her.

Becoming a little competitive, Rainbow smirked boldly, and said "oh yeah? That's nothing!" And she ate her yogurt faster than before, and felt a more painful brain-freeze erupting inside her head. "Let's see ya beat that!" She crossed her arms in triumph with a smug look on her face.

"Okay!"

And so the brain-freezing and screaming continued on and on to the point where it was becoming very anboying. It wasn't long before the manager came by, with a very unamused look on his face while tapping his foot. "Ahem!" He cleared his throat. "Do you both mind keeping it at a low rumble? You're starting to irritate my customers."

"Sorry." Said Rainbow and Pinkie in unison, then stopped it completely. The master made a small smile and walked past them so he can get back to work.

"So Spike, about this... Ember dragon, do you think I can meet her some time?" Mane-iac asked in a mildly eager tone of voice

"Hmmm, I think that can be arranged." Spike said.

"Oh, Spike!" That reminds me." Said Twilight with a sudden thought. "Princess Ember just sent me a letter, and she said is gonna come over."

This made the baby dragon's eyes go big with surprise. "Really? What for?"

"She... kinda heard about you guys' skirmish with Garble and his gang." Fluttershy bite, sounding a little sheepish. "And she wants to see if you were okay."

"Oh. Gotcha. So that's cool." Said Spike. "When is she coming over?"

"In a little while." Said Applejack.

Spike cleared his throat, and remarked "well I think I know how you guys heard of me and Mane-iac's.... event."

The other nodded their head a yes to him. "Oh yes." Said Rarity. "Apparently, Ember was quite angered at Garble for trying to deal away with you, and your wife."

"Well, I certainly hope that she will make Garble's life Hell for what he did." Mane-iac said sinisterly.

"I'm pretty sure that she will do something about that, she is the new dragon lord after all. If not, then her father might do something about that."

"Is he big?" Asked Mane-iac

"Is he big?" Said Rainbow Dash "he is huge, like a really giant dragon that you do not want to make angry."

Fluttershy made a small gulp of fear, and said "I know. I would really hate to make him mad." And she cowered under the table.

"Well, Ember is not like him, I know it." Spike noted boldly. "Considering the fact I am the very first friend she ever made." Then they all finished their deserts, our their scraps in the trash, and went out.

a little while has passed, somewhere around thirty minutes, and it was just then Ember came down from the sky. "Spike!" She exclaimed. Before he knew it, she hugged him tightly like a big sister would do to a little brother. "I heard what happened. Are you alright? I was so worried!"

"Ember! I'm fine, but you're hurting me." He gagged

"Oh! Sorry, buddy." And she immediately let him go. "I was just so worried about you."

"It's okay." Spike replied. "So, I take it you heard about Garble?"

"I did, and don't worry, I saw to it that Garble and his goons are punished. I sent his friends to work in the jewel mines in hard labor for a month. I doubled the sentence for Garble, and force him to give hugs to every dragon he knew again."

"Ha! Serves him right!" Said Mane-iac with a triumphant laugh.

"And who might you be?" Asked Ember politely

"I am the Mane-iac, one of the mist evil and sinister villains in all of Maretropolis! Mwahahahaha!" Ember became concerned about this. "Oh, and I am Spike's beautiful and caring wife."

'Oh come here, you." Then they both kissed on the lips.

"Nice to meet ya, name's Ember, new lord of the dragons, and a good friend of Spike's." And she gave him a gentle head rub.

"The pleasure is all mine." Mane-iac stated. She shook a large tendril in the form of a hand with Ember's scaly hand. "I think we should have so much to talk about."

"Agreed."
