Spike and the Mane-iac 3

It was the next morning and Spike was the first to wake up, and stretched himself. Then she noticed the Mane-iac was not resting on the bed. Curious, scratching his head with his finger, he wondered where she was at the moment.

Walking out on the hallway, he heard Twilight giggling and saw her walking down with Hair Stylish. "Oh Hair, I think you are so funny." She said.

Then he had a small laugh himself. "Well Twilight, I am quite a planner." Said the leader of Mane-iac's minions. At this moment, they both noticed Spike, and stopped inches from where he was. "Oh, bonjour, Spike. Ca va?" Said Hair Stylish

"Tres Bon." Spike replied "hey, have you guys seen Mane-iac anywhere? I found her out of her bed before I was."

"She's cooking breakfast for you, Spike." Twilight replied. "Mane-iac will be more than happy to see you downstairs."

"Oui, and she is determined to make you as happy as possible with what she is cooking at ze moment, Spike. Better hurry now, she's waiting for you."

Spike had an eager smile on his face hearing this and said "okay, gotta go!" And he hurriedly went to the kitchen downstairs. As he went, Twilight and Hair Stylish looked at each other, trying to keep whatever they were saying a secret.

Twilight cleared her throat and began "Okay, are your hench-stallions going to set up the decorations for Spike?"

"Uh-huh. Callous Comb and ze others are setting everything up at ze Crazy Mare now, but.... it might take a while, in the meantime, make sure Spike does not get in ze club until we are finished, tonight. Mane-iac's orders."

Twilight nodded her head and replied "got it. Oh, Spike will love what we will have for him tonight."

"Ho Ho Ho, I concur, ma Cherie." And both of them continued walking down, pretending that they never had this conversation in the first place and act oblivious as much as they can.

Meanwhile, Spike smelled the scent of an omelette being boiled on the stove. Mane-iac really seemed like a good cook, even for a crazed super villain such as herself." "Good morning, Mane-iac." Spike said, seeing her work yeh frying pan with a tendril.

"Ah, my handsome is awake already, hahaha." Mane-iac chuckled. She turned around with a big smile on her face. "Did you sleep well, Spike-Whikey?"

"Yep. Like a swan in the middle of a sparkling lake."

Mane-iac gave a small maniacal laugh. "Brilliant, just brilliant. I made you breakfast, a regular omelette, like you would normally want in the morning, and some buttered waffles to go with it.

"Yeah I can smell that Smells good." And the baby dragon licked his lips "I can almost taste it in my mouth already."

Chuckling adorably at his amusement, Mane-iac carefully put the omelette on a plate next to the waffles. "Bon appetite. And be careful, it's still hot."

"Gotcha." Then the baby dragon went to the long table at the dining room, and happily began to eat his ecsquisite breakfast that his beautiful wife created. Mane-iac came to the table with a small breakfast of her own.

"Listen, sweetie. I need to go out shopping really soon after I am done with my own breakfast. But, do not worry, I will be back as soon as possible." And ate her own waffle

"That's okay. Can I come with you?"

Then the Mane-iac stopped eating with her eyes wide, "No!" She shouted. Realized what she just did, she covered her mouth for that little outburst, and replied in a more softer tone "oh, I am soooo sorry, what I mean to say was, it is a rather boring and dull trip in the market. What I am getting is the usual groceries. You see, we are running low on food.... again." She had a small nervous smile on his face.

"Really? But I thought you bought another big basket of apples, fruits and vegetables the other day, so much that it would last over weeks, or even months to come."

"Did I really do that? Well.... my minions are.... what is the next word to put them? Pigs, and they eat like them too. Food can get rather short when it comes to my minions."

"True. We're not the only ones living here, after all."

"Exactly my point."

"Okay." And Spike ate the last bite of his breakfast, and patted his full tummy. "And, are you sure you wouldn't want me to come with you?"

"I do. I just don't want to make it a boring trip for you. Besides, I do not want to keep you from practicing your wonderful guitar playing. Wouldn't want that to go to waste now, wouldn't we?"

"Hmm, fair enough. Practice makes perfect. That's what they all say about practicing, or is that Rainbow Dash who said that? I can't remember."

Mane-iac thought of it and said, "that could be quite likely. Rainbow Dash is quite a girl with the power of sports and competition inside of her."

"Heh, tell me about it." Spike agreed. "She kinda thinks she's better than everypony else because she's the fastest pony in all of Equestria."

"Hahaha! As I would always say, overconfidence can be your greatest enemy, and might even get you killed! Mwahahahahaha!!" She cackled. Back to her calm nature. She said "but either way, Rainbow Dash might now be so smart, but she is not that dumb either."

"Right."

Then the Mane-iac got out of the table, and was ready to do her "errands" to say the least. "Anywho, I really must be going."

"Okay, don't be long and I love you." Spike said

"Oh, so sweet. I love you too, Spike." And she pulled him on for a long kiss on his lips, and the baby dragon was enjoying every moment of this, the taste of her watermelon lipstick smelled so nice, and wished that it could last forever. "See out in a little while, sweetie." And promptly went out the front door.

Spike did feel a little alone, but he realized that he has more than just a beautiful yet crazy wife with him, he has many fri do that care about him, too. "Hmm, what to do, what to do?" He thought out loud to himself "nah, I'm just gonna practice my guitar some more. She's right, practice makes perfect... I gotta stop talking to myself." And he promptly went upstairs to play more guitar notes and chords.

While jamming on his ax, he was thinking about the Mane-iac nonstop as usual, and even put her into a song once again. While thinking about her, he began playing a beautiful serenade. "You're my religion, you're my reason to live." He sang "you are the heaven in my hell."

And all of a sudden, he began playing a beautiful, long guitar solo, made all for her. If only she was there to see this, was what he was thinking about right now.

A few hench-stallions took notice and went inside to watch him play such beautiful tunes. As more and more stallions came in to watch him, Spike decided that he should let the show go on for his adoring fans.

When he was done playing, the small band of audience applauded for him, cheering loudly and enthusiastically.

"Thank you, thank you one and all for watching me." Spike said. "I hoped you all enjoyed that."

"We loved it!' Twilight said. "Absolutely amazing. Very good job as always, Spike."

"Thanks, Twilight." Spike replied to her.

"Hello, anypomy in here?" Said a cute mare's voice. It was Fluttershy, coming inside in a rather sheepish fashion. "Oh, I'm sorry, was I interrupting something?" She asked, pawing her hoof on the floor.

"No, it's quite alright, Fluttershy." Spike said. "Just got finished practicing my super awesome guitar skills!" And he flexed his so-called muscles as a boast, pumping it up inside of him. Twilight giggled at what he was trying to do from that response

"Oh Spike." She muttered with her mouth covered.

"Well, Spike. I was wondering if.... you could help me with my animals for a little while. I mean- if it's okay with you."

"What for?"

"Well.... I just thought that you would to do something fun, and we heard that Mane-iac was going out shopping for groceries."

"Hmm. Okay." Spike said. "I could use a break from all that practicing. Heck, I don't want to burn my fingers off or make it blade."

"Oh my goodness." Fluttershy said with Hooves to her mouth. "Of course not."

"And nothing like getting some lemonade from the nightclub, being a guitarist can sure make one thirsty."

Then everypony's eyes went wide with fear and panic, fearing the secret will be exposed. "No! You can't!" Twilight stopped him before he could get out the bedroom door.

Feeling confused, the baby dragon asked "Uhh, Twilight, what's going on here?"

"Well, the Crazy Mare is under....."

"Renovations!" Said Hair Stylish. "Oui, some of my boys are working on upgrading ze interior of ze nightclub." All of them nodded their heads nervously with a few drops of sweat coming down their cheeks.

"Exactly!" Twilight said

"And you wouldn't really like how loud construction would be inside." Fluttershy added.

Spike had an eyebrow raised up, not really sure what to think of this. "Oookay, but, I play my electric guitar all the time now. That's kinda noisy, don't you think?"

"Not as noisy as the sound of hammers pounding the nails over and over again." Twilight said.

"Or the sound of an electrical saw, or a jackhammer." Fluttershy reminded. "Well, anyway, I think we should get going. I wouldn't want all my critter friends to wait for such a long time."

"Alright. Maybe I can have some apple juice when we get to the cottage?"

"Of course we can. I'll fetch you one as soon as we get there." Fluttershy kindly remarked warmly. "Come on."

Twilight and the others went "whew." Feeling more than relief to see that their surprise was not foiled.

While walking down the main road that led to the cottage, Spike asked the yellow Pegasus "so, what would you like me to do with the animals exactly?"

"Oh, I just thought you would like to help me feed them, take care of them, bathe them, and of course clean up after them."

"Sure thing. Not a problem. I love animals, and they love me." And had a sudden realization on his face. "Except for Angel. He hates my guts." He added in a mildly bitter tone of voice.

"Don't be silly, Spike. Angel likes you. He... just has a way of showing his love to you."

"Right, if you can count pulling pranks on me a way of telling somepony they care about you, or something like that." He muttered sarcastically.

"Well, maybe he did, but don't worry, I punished him for the bucket of grapes over your head prank by not giving him extra dinner for three months."

"Hmm. Yeah I remember. That's a harsh punishment for him, alright. But enough of that, I'm sure I will get along with the others really well, like the time I stayed with you on the day Mane-iac foalnapped me, remember?"

"Oh yes. As a matter of fact, I can almost remember it like it was yesterday." And thought about that very day and how Spike got to stay with her for a little while. "But don't worry, I'll make sure Angel Bunny doesn't try to hurt you, or pull pranks on you."

"Thanks, Flutters." Spike replied

"What are friends for?" Then they both made it. When the baby dragon set foot in the cottage, almost all of the animals were happy to see him, minus Angel of course, who just ignored him and got into reading a carrot magazine. Spike wasn't really happy to see that spoiled lagamorph either, but he just ignore him back.

"Hello, Everypony. You all remember Spike, don't you?" Fluttershy warmly greeted them all. Angel just stuck his tongue out in disgust while pointing his finger at it, and continued reading his book. "He'll be helping you all with the feeding, bathing, and cleaning today."

All of the critters made noises of joy and excitement, crowding around the baby dragon with their bodies and their paws and their feet. This made Spike feel pleased and appreciated about how much almost all the animals cared about him. "Okay, so where should we start first?"

"Usually, I would start with the critters living outside of my cottage."

"Sure, that's cool." and they both went to work with the animals.

***

Few hours have passed, and Spike was feeling rather exhausted from all of that work. Nonetheless, he was happy to work alongside Fluttershy once more, just like old times. At the time, he was just taking a little rest on the couch.

While resting, he had his head on Fluttershy's lap while she was gently rubbing his head. "I take it you had fun with me and the animals?" She asked with a smirk

"Uh-huh." and he made a small yawn. "It wasn't easy, but it was fun, nonetheless. Always happy to help out a deer friend of mine." then he continued resting on her lap.

"Good." she smiled warmly at him

"So, do you think Mane-iac might be done with those errands yet?"

"Hmm, she did say she would come and pick you up here."

"She knows that I am here?"

"Of course she does, silly." Fluttershy giggled. "I told her that I would ask for your help here."

Now the baby dragon understood. "Ah, okay."

"Would you like some more apple juice, Spike?"

"Uh-huh."

then the baby dragon got his head off of her, and the yellow pegasus went to fetch him the beverage he wanted. It wasn't long before she came right back. "Okay, here you go, sweetie." then promptly put the glass on the table for him to take a sip.

"Thank you Fluttershy."

"No problem, Spike. Always happy to see you happy."

After taking the first sip, Spike asked "So, Fluttershy, what exactly are they working on in the club, like what are they upgrading?"

And that small touch of horror came back to her. "Well um.... they were trying to remodel the stage into something more.... exciting, and dazzling." she lied to him.

"Ah, gotcha. Well, I hope that it doesn't take long. You all know how much I love performing for all my friends and wife onstage." And he crossed his arms behind his head in great confidence.

Fluttershy giggled "don't worry. I'm sure that it will be ready for you before the day is over." She said.

Then there was the sound of knocking on her front door, it had to be Mane-iac on the other side of it.

"Oh! That must be her right now." She said with joy. Fluttershy was more than happy to open the door, and she was right, there was Mane-iac looking happy as ever, at least, sane type of happy to put it lightly. "Hello, Mane-iac." She kindly greeted her in a soft voice. "Did you find the groceries alright?"

"Of course, my dear Fluttershy. Let me tell you, it wasn't all that easy, but, I eventually found all the items eventually." And they both winked at eachother without the baby dragon knowing it.

"Wonderful." Then she stepped aside for Mane-iac so she can come inside. There, she saw Spike resting on the couch with his arms crossed behind his head.

"Spike, there you are."

"Mane-iac, you're here." Spike said. And they both embraced eachother.

"Are you ready to go back home, sweetie?"

"Yep. Let's go. Well.... can you carry me again? I'm a little tired from doing all that animal work with Fluttershy. Taking care of animals is never easy, you know?"

"Hahahaha! I can see that, perfectly understandable. Of course you can ride on my back, Spikey-poo. I'm always happy to carry you around wherever I go." And she picked him up with her tendrils very gently, and he found himself on her back.

"Thank you."

"No problem, sweetie. See you later Fluttershy."

"Bye Mane-iac, bye Spike." Then the Mane-iac happily went out the front door, back home, and Fluttershy promptly closed it, going back to her business.

"So Mane-iac, did you find everything okay at the marketplace.?'

"Oh yes, of course. It will last in over weeks, or maybe even months to come. So many apples and jewels that we can eat for as long as it lasts." And then she thought about another thing she bought just for Spike, something even more special than any one of those combined. However, Mane-iac decided not to say it for it will spoil the special surprise for tonight.

It was good Spike didn't know about it. Not that she didn't want him to know what day it was today, but she wants to wait for tonight, when the time is right. Hopefully, Callous Comb and his stallions have finished building the decorations inside the Crazy Mare for the night to come.

Back to him, Mane-iac asked "So tell me, was it fun over there?"

"Yep. It was." Spike replied boldly. "A little tiring like I said before, but still fun. And Angel hasn't tried to do something nasty to me today."

"Oh, that is wonderful. Because if that so-called Angel Bunny would ever try to hurt you, I would rip him in half until nopony, not even his own mother would recognize his remains. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!" she cackled.

"Uhhh, you don't really intend on doing that, do you?" Spike asked her nervously.

"Do forgive my craziness once again." Mane-iac noted. "Suddenly let my evil instincts get the best of me again, hehehe."

"Ah, it's okay. I know you woukd never try to tear Angel limb from limb, even if he hates me."

"Indeed. Fluttershy wouldn't even let that Angel try to hurt you anyway."

"Yeah, I suddenly get the feeling his name is like a sick joke. Maybe he should be called Devil Bunny!" Both he and Mane-iac laughed in agreement.

"I absolutely concur, Spike." Said Mane-iac. "Oh, don't tell Fluttershy I said that. It might hurt her feelings."

"Don't worry, Mane-iac. My lips are sealed." And the baby dragon pretended to have a zipper on his mouth, and zipped it right up.

"I know, Spike." She said warmly. And she noticed the baby dragon yawning a little. "Oh, is a certain baby dragon getting tired?" She asked with a smirk on her face."

"Yeah, I'm a little. It from all that work, but worth helping one of my closest friends." And he yawned. "Maybe I can use a little nap when I get back home."

"Excellent idea."

"I just hope I don't sleep all the way through the night like this. I really want to perform at the Crazy Mare again. Gotta put more use to my guitar skills."

"Don't you worry, Callous Comb and my other minions will probably done with all of those renovations inside the nightclub. I'm sure that when the night comes, I will surely wake you up." And she winked at him

"Thanks Mane-iac." Then yawned one last time.

When they finally made it back home, Spike was feeling half-asleep at the moment. Mane-iac walked upstairs to the master and gently tucked him in bed, and placed the covers over his small body.

Spike immediately feel asleep completely, and Mane-iac was thinking how cute he was while in this position, and in his slumber. The unhinged mare bent her head down, and tenderly kissed him on his forehead. Wrote she left the room, she whispered in his ears "sweet dreams, my husband."

Many hours have passed and it was the evening now.Apike was still adorably asleep under his sheets and snored softly. Mane-iac promptly came back inside the room, and went to wake him up

"Spike? Come on now, it's time to awake." She said softly.

The baby dragon's eyes slowly began to open up, and he was looking at the Mane-iac smiling warmly to him. While slowly sitting up, he rubbed his eyes to make sure he didn't have any sand in them, and it turns out that they were both clean from any dry tears. "What time is it?"

"Seven in the evening, Spikey-Whikey."

And the baby dragon's eyes shot open in surprise. "Seven in the evening? Oh man, I hope I'm not too late to perform at the Crazy Mare tonight."

Mane-iac chuckled and calmed him down by gently pinning him back on the bed. "It's quite alright, sweetie. As a matter of fact, come with me. There is so,wining I would really love to show you."

"What is it?"

"Ah, it's a surprise." She sang softly. The next thing she did was pull out a blindfold out of nowhere and showed it to him. It's color was like a dark shade of red, like how it would normally be colored. "Do be a good boy and put this one, please."

"Okay." And he immediately put the blindfold over his eyes. "I... I can't see a thing with this over my eyes."

"Brilliant. Here, I will set you on my back to save you the trouble from abusing any injuries or accidents such as tumbling down the stairs."

"Good idea." And he felt a couple of tendrils softly wrapping around him, and felt himself back on the Mane-iac once more. "Ready?"

"Ready when you are." Mane-iac replied. The baby dragon nodded a yes, and then she was off. "Now, you might want to cling to my body just in case you fall off of me. Wouldn't want to bump your noggin, wouldn't we?"

"Nope, good call, Mane-iac." Spike agreed. Then the Mane-iac opened the door to the Crazy Mare club and promptly went inside. Feeling her come to a complete stop, he asked her "Are we already there?"

Mane-iac giggled "yep, we have arrived. Here, let me help you down." And she used her tendrils to get back on the ground. "Now, do not take the blindfold off just yet. Now, I want you to close your eyes and open them until I say you can. Alright?"

"Got ya." Spike said, and he immediately clamped his eyes shut like a pair of clams or oysters. The eagerness was killing him, and he wanted to know what was going on so badly. It was just then he felt Mane-iac taking the blindfold off of his face, but kept his eyes closed like she ordered him to.

It took a little while, somewhere around ten seconds, but Mane-iac finally said "alright sweetie. You can look now."

When the baby dragon lifted his eyelids, there was a crowd shouting "Surprise!! Happy birthday Spike!" He gasped and suddenly felt very flattered by all of this. He saw a large emerald gem cake that was completely large, as if he could fall off a diving board and go inside of it, and the frosting on top was shaped like Spike's happy face. What he also saw was the princess', the stallions from the nightclub in Maretropolis, High Heel and her mares, Ember, Stsrlight Glimmer, Thorax, and even the Power Ponies were all present at this party for him. Another difference was that all the pretty mares were wearing the Mane-iac suits from Rarity's fashion line, Making both she and Spike happy to see that they were still popular as ever.

"What is this?" He asked

"It's a surprise party just for you, dude." Rainbow Dash said, gently ruffling his head. "Mane-iac remembered that your birthday is today, and wanted to throw the best party that anypony could ever ask for."

This made Spike even more flattered to hear this. "Happy birthday, Spike!" Pinkie bounced with joy, and she immediately pulled out her party canon, shooting confetti from it.

"Oh, thank you guys so much!" He said.

"Don't thank us, it was all the Mane-iac's idea." Fluttershy pointed

"Yes. I wanted to make you so happy." Said the unhinged mare.

This brought a tear of joy in Spike's eye, and he immediately hugged her very tightly. "Thank you so much, Mane-iac!" And he kissed her many times on the face. "This is very thoughtful of you!"

"You are quite welcome, sweetie." And she hugged him back "I love you, sweetie." And they gave eachother. Kiss on eachother's cheeks.

"Come on, and enjoy your own party." Twilight suggested.

"Great idea." And he and Mane-iac went around the place with thumping music being heard all around the building, and many of his friends minglin with one another. It was just then Thorax, the new king of the Changelings came up to him.

"Hi Spike. Long time no see." He greeted in a friendly tone of voice. He found himself shaking his hoof with the baby dragon's hand. "Happy birthday, my old friend."

"Thanks Thorax. I'm really glad you could make it here."

"Wouldn't have missed it for the better." Thorax replied.

"So how's the changeling Kingdom now that you're the king?"

The new king had a smile on his face. "It is really tremendous! Everyone loves me, and we are liking this new type of feeding love without hurting anypony very much."

"Awesome. Thorax, I would like you to meet Mane-iac, my new beautiful and caring wife."

"Hello, Thorax. It is a pleasure to meet you at last." And she formed her tendril into a hand to shook the changeling's hoof with. "Spike told me a lot about you, and how you became the new ruler of the reformed Changelings. Well.... to be honest, I thought your original look was a little more.... satisfying."

"Mane-iac." Twilight gently scolded with a smirk on her face.

"Nah, it's okay." Thorax said. "You're not the only one, Mane-iac, many other ponies looked at us and thought we were cool as our original selves. Despite sucking the love out of them of course." he flushed lightly.

And they all had a good laugh

"Happy birthday old pal."

"Thanks. Enjoy the party."

"I will."

then Spike and Mane-iac moved on to whatever was happening. The dance floor was a dance paradise for the young ponies who want to have a good time, along with colorful light shows to go with it. "Hello Spike." said a tenderly mother voice that Spike knew too well. It was princess Celestia and Luna.

"Your majesties." Spike recognized them, and he immediately bowed to them in respect, and Mane-iac did the same thing as well. "Nice to see you both here."

Luna made a small giggle, and replied "Are you kidding, Spike? We are always happy to attend a special event for you, especially your birthday. Mane-iac invited us, and she planned everything really well."

"Yeah, I can imagine how long she planned all of this for me." Spike agreed

"Oh ho, it wasn't easy, my darling husband." Mane-iac said with a wink. "I wanted to make sure there was the best cake there ever was that would fit you perfectly. I went to the baby cakes for help, and they were more than happy to make that large cake with gems."

"That's awesome! So, enjoying the party, your majesties?" he asked the princess'

"Oh yes." said Celestia warmly. "It is so wonderful to be celebrating your birthday like this. The cake does look really delicious. Do you mind if I have the first slice?"

"Sister!" and they all had a good laugh about it. "Forgive her."

"Nah, it's okay, princess Luna. I know she was just joking." Spike said

"That's right." Celestia chuckled. "Oh, and Ember is here to see you as well."

"Ember? Really?"

Both princess' nodded a yes. "Yes. Ember was also more than happy to come here to attend your birthday." Celestia said. "Even... if she didn't really know what a birthday party was, she was more than happy to come. Enjoy yourselves." then she and her sister went to get themselves a drink from the counter up front.

"Hey, Spike!" said a tough stallion's voice. It was Pinch Harmonic and his gang, looking tough, yet friendly as ever. All of them were chuckling in a hearty tone. "Nice to see ya here, birthday boy!" said Pinch Harmonic. And he gave Spike a big pat on the back that was a little painful. Nonetheless, Spike liked it. "What an awesome party here."

His boys made words of agreement. "Yeah! fucking awesome!" said Evil Twin." and he bumped his hoof with Pinch Harmonic.

"How ya doing, Mane-iac?" the leader asked her.

"Doing splendid. I really hope you are enjoying the party that I set up just for my adorable little husband."

"We love it!" said another one of his boys.

"Awesome." Spike said with a big grin. "And in case you guys are asking. I am performing here tonight, but.... I might do something a little more mellow."

Pinch Harmonic smile and waved his long blond mane, and beard. "That's dine, brother. We all need a break from being so fucking heavy once in a while, right boys?"

And his friends cheered like a football team once more. "We all wish you good luck as your biggest fans, little dude." Said Evil Twin with a wink.

Spike felt more than cofident. Thanks to their kind words. "Thanks guys. I really appreciate it."

"Come on boys, let's get some liquor!" Pinch Harmonic said. And they all went to possibly get drunk.

"Hehe, I love those guys." Rainbow said. "I mean, they are so awesome."

And they all decided to sit down and relax for a little while, and had dinner together.

While eating hayburgers, Spike looked on at his party, feeling more than happy to see everyone he loved and cared about attend his birthday party.

"See those presents over there, darling?" Rarity pointed. They are all for you."

And the baby dragon looked at a large tower of presents that almost went as high as the ceiling, making him even more excited.

"Wow, look at all of them." He said in awe. "I don't even know where to start."

"I wouldn'tblame you, Spike." Pinkie giggled. "So many presents for you to open."

"Well, not after your performance of course."

"Or have some mighty delicious cake, sugarcube" Applejack added.

Spike chuckled and replied "I know, don't worry. The night is still young, after all."

"You can say that again." Said a mare's voice. They all looked and it was the Power Ponies themselves.

"Power Ponies? What are yoy guys doing here? Not that i'm not happy to see you of course."

Zapp giggled and replied "are you kidding, kiddo? We wouldn't miss something from our biggest fan for the better." And she winked at him kindly

"Yeah, we heard about your birthday from Mane-iac, and we were more than happy to say yes to that invitation." Said Saddle Rager

"Even though you guys are enemies?" Spike asked

"Well... we might have our differences, but we'll get past them, use for your sake." Masked Matterhorn added, gently riffing his head.

Fily-second, who was almost like Pinkie said "I wonder if there are any cupcakes here."

"Oh I am sure there are cupcakea here sugarcube." Said Mistress Marevelous with a chuckle. "We just need to look for em."

Radiance smirked and she said "Fily-second really loves cupcakes."

And the other superheroes agreed with her. "As long as you don't break our truce, I am more than happy to see you here." Said Mane-iac. ".... even though you are my mist hated nemesees in the while world, but we can put our differences aside."

And after they were done with the dinner, Spike and his friends got out of the booth to look around some more.

"Spike!" Said a voice the baby dragon definitely recognized. It was none other than Ember, having a glass of hard lemonade with her. "Happy birthday, squirt! And she had another sip.

"Ember, glad you could make it, too." Spike said on a very happy voice.

"Happy to be here, little man. Ya liking the party, birthday boy?" She asked with a slight smile and a raised eyebrow.

"Totally! I can't wait for the performance and the presents I will open."

"And we can't wait to see you do a song, too." Said High Heel, walking over to them with a few of her minions close to her. "It will be quite amazing. Don't you agree, girls?"

And her minions agreed with her simultaneously.

"Oh, it's starting, better get ready, sweetie. I'll announce it." Mane-iac pointed. Spike was more than happy to hear that, and immediately rushed backstage to get his guitar up and ready for his special birthday performance tonight.

It was just then the Mane-iac tapped on the microphone a few times with her hoof, and cleared her throat before saying "Hello Ponyville." Just like that, the crowd grew silent and knew what was going to happen and gathered around the stage. "We are now ready for Spike's amazing performance for all of you."

Then the crowd roared in excitement.

"Please put your hooves and or hands together for my amazing husband himself, Spike!"

And they all cheered even louder. It was just then Spike came from the backstage and had his signature guitar with him. He looked around and saw his closest friends, and everypony he ever cared about smiling at him.

Lyra and Bon Bon also shouted "we love you Spike!" Simultaneously, making him more confident than before.

"Thank you thank you. Prepare yourselves for a song dedicated to my beautiful wife, Mane-iac. One, two, three, four,

Rights for the song go to Poets of the Fall

At first it sounded acoustic, and it did sound a little more mellow than what he would usually play at concerts. Nonetheless, it was magical and beautiful the way he played.

Many mares fainted by how beautiful he was playing as if they were all looking at a handsome boy band concert.

Most of the mares were from High Heel's girls and they were every bit of this, bu not as much as the Mane-iac, since the song is all about her.

In a tone that sounded all acoustic, it began to sound more electric.

Before the solo came, there was a slight pause with Spike going "whoa whoa whoaaaoooaa." with a few strobe lights going off from the stage floor with the colors of green and purple, like Spike himself.

It was just when the solo came along, and he slided on the stage with a few firebolts erupting from the stage, causing the crowd to go wild

When it was over, he was surrounding by many of his adoring fans yet again. Mane-iac was the first to gently hug him and congratulate him for his amazing performance. "Spikey-Whikey you have done it yet again!" she said with joy. "Absolutely marvelous!" and she gave him a long kiss on his lips.

The baby dragon flushed and was feeling more than lucky to have a good wife like her. "Thanks, Mane-iac." he said, then he found himself being kissed all over his face, covered in green lipstick markings.

Then Ember went up to congratulate him next. "Well, little dude. That was absolutely amazing what you did up there." and she gave him a pat on the back. "I'm proud of you, Spike."

"Thank you, Ember. I told ya I was good at my guitar skills." the baby dragon boasted.

"Well, I say, that was quite astounding." said High Heel. Then she gave him a kiss on the cheek to be playful. Spike began to flush a more redder shade of red on his face. "Very nice job, sugar."

"well uh, thank you, High Heel." was all the baby dragon replied.

"For that, I think we should move forward to the birthday cake!" Pinkie suggested, bouncing with joy.

Just like that, they all gathered around the large birthday cake, and Mane-iac was more than Happy to light up the candles with a lighter by using a tendril. "Alright, everypony, all together now."

They all sung the birthday song, and Spike had a tear of joy in his eye. "Thanks guys. I love you all."

"Oh come here you." Then Mane-iac and Spike hugged eachother warmly and kissed on their lips a few times. "I love you too, Spike." She said.

His friends and the Power Ponies also stepped up. "So do we." Fluttershy remarked warmly. Then they joined in on the hug, then Lyra and Bon Bon, the Princess', and a few other ponies living in town as well.

All of them looked at Discord, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Well... I don't know if I should. It feels silly and sappy."

"Oh come on, Discord. I know you want to." Fluttershy teased him.

"Ah alright." The master of chaos smirked, and joined in as well. As they all broke out, the Power Ponies walked up to him.

"To our biggest fan." Said Masked Matterhorn." Then she and the other superheroes hugged the baby dragon too."

Finally Ember was a little uncomfortable, and said "yeah, Discord's right, it is a little sappy and too girly. Maybe I shouldn't-" and she was interrupted by a sudden hug by Spike, and she immediately gave into the warm feeling from the effects

"Alright, let's eat some cake." Spike said. Every one of them cheered, then the baby dragon blew out the candles. As everypony dug on the dessert, Spike loved how it tasted, like the frosting was a blue color, and the inside of the cake was a green, mint flavor.

The gems were like his candy, but to everypony else, who couldn't eat them, decided to give to Spike as extra birthday gifts to him, and went to eat the rest of the cake.

When everyone was fed, they all went to the gifts, and were all more than happy to see Spike unwrap many of them, except for one. "Uhh, really Twilight? A book again?"

"What?" Twilight said. "It's a good present."

"A present that you give me every year after year." And he threw the book at her head. Knocking her out. Everypony laughed at how she fell, and she felt a little mad, but she eventually began laughing with them as well.

"You're right. I should stop getting you the same thing over and over again."

"Agreed." Spike concurred with a smile.
