Prologue: Rainy calm day's

Rainy, wet, dark, stormy, those were the words that best described today. Spike watched as the rain gently thumped against the glass window in his bedroom, the droplets slowly sliding down his window. He put his hand against the glassy surface and was met with a cold slightly wet sensation on his hand. He pulled his hand away in slight shock as the feeling of wet slippery glass was not what he was expecting. He was, after all, only a baby dragon and was very young in dragon years, so small things still peaked at his curiosity. He then remembered, with a sigh, the lesson on condensation Twilight had taught him and chuckled to himself from how boring the memory was. Spike also remembered from the last friendship meeting Rainbow Dash mentioning a storm that would be over Ponyville for a couple days.

Spike pulled away from the glass window and relaxed on his bed as he listened to the thunder rumble outside. The sound of rain meeting glass and thunder outside was rather soothing as he lay on his bed. Spikes mind began to drift to the times when he was younger and when Twilight was still a filly, how on stormy nights they would cuddle up under the blankets together and snuggle. Spike let out a sad sigh, he missed those days.

Eventually Spikes mind began to wander over to what he would have to do when the storm passed, he already knew he had cleaning to do in the library, and was not looking forward to it at all. Spike had recently been thinking about the work he had been doing some time ago and had been finding it, well, unfair to say the least. Spike let out a yawn, he would have to have a talk with Twilight about this later. For now he just needed some sleep, it was, after all, a rainy day. He would get to have plenty of time to relax and think about all of this over the next few rainy days, which were like vacation to him since the library was closed when it rained.

For now, everything was just perfect. Spike relaxed as he began to fall asleep, a smug smile covered his face and his eyes closed as his mind began to travel to the land of dreams. He failed to notice the purple eyes in the shadows of the doorway as it closed gently. On the other side of the doorway was Twilight Sparkle, a happy smile planted on her face as she began to walk back to her bedroom.

Author's Note

Well, that's only the Prologue, this is my first time writing a Fanfic/Fimfic. Hopefully the rest go well. Let me know what you think so far! ^w^

Chapter 1: A Slimy Surprise

Spike groaned as he got up, it was another sunny day in Ponyville for ever pony, well, almost every pony, today Twilight was going to stay indoors all day, and Spike already knew why as he reluctantly got out of his comfy soft bed and headed over to the library area in the castle, opening the doors to the library as the answer to his fear was confirmed right in front of him. "Re-shelving day!" Yelled Twilight with a happy smile as all the books were magically pulled out of there shelves and fell to the ground with a loud 'THUMP'. Twilight began to pick up many books as well as Spike with her magic and made the books and Spike circle around her as she looked at them. She looked at Spike with a playful grin while Spike nervously smiled back.

"Hmmm, now I wonder where this book goes." Twilight said as she magically floated Spike towards her. "Oh I know, right here!" Said Twilight as she magically pulled him against her barrel and fell onto her back with Spike on top of her and hugged him as Spike giggled and nuzzled her warm purple fur.

"Good morning Twilight." Said Spike as the two embraced each other.

"Good morning Spike. Spike, can you go make some breakfast for us? You know i'm a horrible cook and we don't want the kitchen exploding like last time." Said Twilight with a chuckle.

The two reluctantly stopped there hug as Spike hopped onto the ground and saluted with a small cute blush. "You can count on me Twilight!" He said as he began to run out the door to the kitchen.

Twilight sighed as she watched Spike leave, her smile remaining as she felt a warm happy feeling in her heart. The feeling was hard to describe, but she brushed it off for now as her just being worried for Spikes safety. She then began to organize some books before her hungry stomach growled at her, she let out a blush and sighed. "Guess I need breakfast first." She said.

Spike walked along the crystal halls towards the kitchen, his feet making soft padding noises as they echoed across the hallway. As he walked towards the kitchen doors he couldn't help but get a shiver down his spine. He was not sure why this had happened but he brushed it off as just a natural reaction. He eventually stopped at the kitchen when he heard clinking and clattering from the other side of the door, he slowly opened the kitchen doors only to be stopped in his tracks. Laid out in front of him was a giant green slimy blob like creature, making a mess in the kitchen, it was about five times taller than Princess Celestia herself and had no eyes and just a mouth as it easily loomed over Spike. Spike looked at the creature as it turned towards him, to scared to move, he shielded his arms in front of himself as a useless sort of defense as it got ever so closer to him.

Spike was shaking with fear, his legs trembling as it was right in front of him. Multiple thoughts went through his head of how this creature was going to end his life only to be surprised as two slimy tentacles came out and wrapped around him. 'This is it! This is the end of Spike' Spike thought to himself is it proceeded to pull Spike towards its body. Spike closed his eyes, expecting a slimy fate only to realize he could still breath, he opened his eyes and gasped in shock and awe as the creature was hugging him against its body, purring as it did so while nuzzling Spikes head.

Spike looked at it for awhile before getting the courage to say something. "Um, hello?" He said cautiously.

The creature looked down at him as it smiled. Spike then decided to attempt to talk to it.

"Hey um...my name is Spike, can you um, understand me?" He asked.

The creature nodded its head in a yes like fashion as Spike let out a sigh in relief.

"Can you um, put me down?" Spike asked the creature.

It only whimpered and hugged him a little tighter.

"I guess that's a no." Said Spike. A big slimy tear went down the creatures face as it began to feel guilty, even though it didn't have eyes. "Hey, wait, don't cry, i'm sorry about that, please don't cry." Said Spike quickly and apologetically as it calmed down. The creature seemed to be a shy and nervous wreck just like Fluttershy.

After awhile of Spike calming down the creature it let him go, Spike sighed as he would have to figure out what he was going to do with this creature only to jump when he heard a voice from down the hall.

"Spike, whats taking breakfast so long?" Said Twilight as her hoof steps got louder and louder, Spike ran in front of the green slimy creature as Twilight walked in, instantly taking a defensive position, her magenta aura covering her horn as she got ready to attack the creature if it dared tried to attack one of them.

"Spike what is that thing?! Get away from it now!" Twilight yelled picking Spike up in her magical aura and moving him behind her. Right before she could do anything to the monster Spike had quickly hugged her side, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Twilight please don't hurt it! It's really really nice and it didn't hurt me, I promise!" Yelled Spike. Twilight looked at him, stunned before stopping her magic and looking at the creature, it whimpered under Twilight's gaze as she sighed.

"Alright Spike...but you have some explaining to do!" She said, eyeing the giant green slimy creature.

Sometime later Twilight had adjusted to the creature, actually finding a liking towards the gentle giant. Spike had finally gotten to making brunch after cleaning the kitchen, the delicious smell wafting through the air and entering Twilight's nose as she sat in her bedroom. She came downstairs a few minutes later, a smile on her face.

"Well something smells good." Said Twilight with a grin.

"Your just in time Twilight, with my professional cooking skills I made the most amazing brunch ever!" Said Spike excitedly awaiting her praise. Twilight giggled and rubbed his head.

"Alright mister big boy, we can enjoy your amazing brunch together." Said Twilight as she looked at the many many pancakes Spike had set up. "Lets get back to cleaning the library after we eat, Spike, then we can figure out more about your new friend." Said Twilight with a warm smile. The two then began to eat there breakfast as there new friend awaited them in Spikes bedroom.

Author's Note

Welp, this is the first chapter! I hope I did well on it! :twilightsheepish:

Chapter 2: Dreaming

"Spike you look stuffed, you really shouldn't eat anymore...hey, don't eat to mu-" THWUMP Dark, that's all that could be described with how things looked right now.

Spike looked around, his mind feeling foggy as he sat on the pitch black ground, he let out a groan and got up and stretched. "What happened?" He said as he looked around. is eyes eventually fell across a strange yet familiar door in the pitch blackness, he looked at it as it felt like it seemed to call to him. He took a step towards the door, and another step, and another step.

"Stop!" Said a loud yet recognizable voice as the door then disappeared. He looked around for the source of the voice and looked up, what he saw above him was a dark blue Alicorn who floated down from who knows where, landing on the ground with a majestic pose. Spike quickly recognized her as Luna, the princess of the night, attempting to bow to her properly, but only to end up falling on his scaly behind. Luna chuckled at his attempts.

"Princess Luna!" He said with a stammer in his voice. "What are you doing here? What is this place? Why is it so dark? Where-" He was stopped when Luna put a hoof on his mouth and proceeded to give him a warm comforting hug. Spike blushed as Luna chuckled, amused.

"You have so many questions Spike, you truly are quite young so I guess I should have expected you to assault me with questions." Luna said with a smile.

Spike rubbed the back of his Scaly head. "Yeah um, sorry about that, can you still answer my questions?" He asked politely.

"Of coarse." Said Luna as she began to lay on the ground. "The reason I came here is to protect you from that door which I will explain in a bit. This place is actually your dreams, right now you are dreaming. It is dark because you have not imagined anything to put in your dream. Another reason I came here is because I wanted a friend to talk to. Now, about the door." She paused to catch her breath. "Spike, first can you imagine this place as a nice grassy hill right outside of Ponyville?" She requested.

"Well uh, I guess I can try." Said Spike. He closed his eyes and instantly they were sitting on a nice grassy hill right outside of Ponyville, just like Luna had requested. A nice breeze gently blowed against them with birdsong in the air. "Woah..." Said Spike in awe.

"You are good with imagination." Said Luna with a smile, she then gained a serious expression. "Now about that door, do you remember King Sombra?" Asked Luna.

Spike gulped. "How could I forget." Said Spike as a shiver of fear went down his spine. Luna put a comforting hoof on his back and gently hugged him against her as she continued.

"Well, that door is from the bad section of memories in your memory bank, which is located in your head of coarse. I would like to ask why you specifically thought of that door Spike." Said Luna with a concerned expression on her face.

"Well...I guess it's about...Twilight." Said Spike as he was now holding his tail nervously, his ears and spines drooping.

"What about her?" Asked Luna.

"Well..." Spike sighed looking at his feet, the background with Ponyville remained the same. "I'm worried that I might do something wrong, mess something up or get her angry at me, i'm worried she might send me away. I mean, she is a princess...so she has all this magic and guards and...ponies to help her, what if I can't help her? What if i'm just...useless?" Said Spike sadly, hugging his tail.

"Oh dearest Spike, you aren't useless, not at all." Said Luna as she hugged him a bit tighter, her wings wrapping around him like a dark blue fuzzy cocoon. "You aren't useless at all. Do you Remember the tale of the two sisters? How one sister grew jealous of another? Well your situation in a way is like that, except you don't feel useless, just sad and left out." She continued hugging Spike, gently rocking back and fourth.

"Luna...are you saying Twilight and I are related?" Asked Spike.

Luna went wide eyed with shock. "Surely you two share a family relationship?" She asked, puzzled.

"Well, I kinda always thought I have been her best friend and number one assistant." Said Spike as he held his tail.

Luna sighed and smiled. "Dearest Spike, I can assure you that your relationship with Twilight is much closer than you think." Said Luna. "Now, do you know why you are asleep?" She asked.

"Well um, no i'm not sure why i'm asleep." Said Spike.

"Well." Said Luna. "Shortly after eating many many pancakes you fell into a food coma, you have yet to wake up." She said with a smile.

"Oh yeah? And what makes you think it was food that caused the problem? I'm not that fat." Whined Spike

Luna giggled. "Well, take a look at your stomach."

"Yeah what abo-" Spike was cut short when he saw his own belly, it looked quite round and stuffed and had seemed to have followed him into his dreams as he began to blush immensely. Suddenly the sky began to turn white as everything began to fade. "Whats happening?" Said Spike, confused and scared.

"Your simply waking up, but let me warn you, you might have a tummy ache when you wake up." Said Luna as she hugged him slightly tighter while slightly smiling. "We will talk later Spike." Said Luna.

"One more question Luna, how did you know I ate pancakes?" Asked Spike.

"I simply talked to Twilight." Said Luna.

And then Spike woke up.

Welp, that's chapter two, hope you liked it, I sure do love the positive feedback. :twilightblush:

Chapter 3: Food Coma Recovery

Spike slowly began to awaken as he let out a groan and managed to wake up, only to immediately regret his decision of waking up. The pain he felt in his belly was indescribable as he curled into a fatal position, letting out a groan of pain. His belly had then begun to be bathed in a purple light as the pain simmered down to nothing and he could focus again. Spike sat up and rubbed his head. "Ugh, what happened?" He asked as he turned to his right only to see Twilight and his giant slimy friend both staring at him with concerned eyes. 'Wait, eyes?' Spike did a double take and noticed the massive slime creature now had two green eyes with eyelashes. He looked around and finally noticed he was in his bedroom.

"Oh Spike, thank goodness your awake, I was so worried." Said Twilight as she hugged Spike. "You fell into a food coma and you didn't wake up for three whole hours. I mean just look at that stomach of yours! How much could a little dragon possibly eat?" She said as she gestured towards Spikes quite bloated stomach. "Your quite lucky I have a spell that can make the pain go away." Spikes slimy friend let out a gurgle in agreement.

Spike rubbed the back of his head as Twilight continued to hug him. "Gee Twilight, I uh, I guess I just was um...really hungry?" Said Spike while doing a confused gesture with his arms. Spike sighed. "Well, Twilight, what about re-shelving day? We still have to do that. It's important." He said as he tried to get up.

"Spike, your more important than re-shelving day, now you need to get some rest mister." Said Twilight as she laid him back down while Spike felt quite touched by the comment. "Now, just to keep you from being bored, i'm gonna tell you what I learned about our slimy friend here Spike." Said Twilight as she got into the bed with Spike and snuggled him close. Spike snuggled back as he nuzzled her warm fur. "Now, so far what I have learned is that this slime creature is a female, you can tell by the eyelashes. I have also learned that she has the ability to turn into any creature she want's, though, on a bigger scale. I measured her weight and then looked at what this creature is and there average weight, apparently this creature is just called 'Slime', and for the average slime she is much more overweight than she is supposed to be, that is why she is so huge, sadly she cannot loose this weight and can only gain more. The way she gained so much weight is from absorbing water, you see, Slime's have the natural ability to absorb water, and she must've absorbed water from the storm a couple days a go. Since she is overweight this will also effect her ability when turning into any creature, making the creature look, well um, I guess 'very obese' would be the correct term. I asked her if she wanted to stay with us a bit earlier and she agreed, by nodding her head of coarse since she has no vocal cords. What would you like to name her Spike?"

"How about...aha! I've got it! Slimey!" Said Spike, proud of the name. Twilight and Slimey looked at each other before shrugging, then an idea hit Spikes head as he giggled. "Slimey, make yourself look like Twilight."

"Wait no!" Said Twilight angrily. Slimey then began to shift and change and was soon a bigger version of Twilight, well, bigger and fatter and also green. Spike rolled off of the bed in a laughing fit as he banged his fist against the ground. Twilight blushed furiously at him as Slimey had an amused look on her face, changing back to normal.

"Oh man Twilight you were-" He took in a deep breath. "you were so fat and-" He took in another deep breath. "your butt was like two big beach balls!" He finished as he burst into another round of laughter.

Twilight looked at him angrily before her look softened and a soft smile appeared on her face, she to then began to start giggling and laughing and soon, they laughed themselves to the point where they were exhausted and could laugh no more. "Come on Spike, let's go to bed." Said Twilight as she picked him up and got into the bed, holding him close against her and cuddling him. Slimey then began to move closer to the bed, eventually laying on top of them so only there heads were exposed. Slimey felt strangely weightless when on top of them so they could breath just fine. Spike slowly began to fall asleep to the sound of Twilight's steady heart beat, and soon all three of them fell asleep.

Meanwhile peaking in the window was a certain dark blue alicorn as she watched the three fall asleep, she smiled as she gently flew back to Canterlot, the cool breeze ruffling her dark blue fur. Soon she arrived in Canterlot as the sun was setting, arriving at her sisters bedroom and lightly knocking on the door. A minute later Celestia opened the door as she greeted her sister with a warm smile.

"So Luna, is that slime creature you reported a threat, or a friend?" Asked Celestia.

"A friend." Said Luna with a happy smile as she began to walk to her own bedroom. Meanwhile back in Ponyville, the three friends were still sleeping. Slimey unconsciously wrapped a protective slime tendril around Spikes body to keep him safe. Spike hugged the slimy tendril with a warm smile on his face as he kept sleeping, he then began to start sucking on his thumb as he snuggled against Twilight. Meanwhile, Twilight wrapped her wings protectively around Spike, leaving Spike to be completely protected and comfortable for a good nights sleep.
