The Winner Gets To Spoil

The Winner Gets To Spoil

The walk was an easy pace as Spike and Twilight returned from another meeting with Dragon Lord Ember. With treaties signed
and trade routes opened it meant that relations had normalized between the two nations, Twilight couldn't be more happy as her
understanding of dragons grew to new levels. Speaking of growing, Spikes relationship with a one fashion...

"Well if it isn't Princess Twiggley Wiggley and her pet Sparkle Warkle".

That one voice froze the two travelers in mid stride.

Spike turned on his heals only to be gripped by his head spines and hoisted into the air. His vision filled with that stupid
jerky dragon Garble, his yellow eyes burning holes at the Princess.

Twilight spread her wings and charged her horn as Spike yelled for her to run to safety.

"I'm not leaving you" Twilight fired a blast that would of vaporized a pony the size of Trouble Shoes. Her mouth hung open at the sight.

Garble just smiled as the impacting magic fizzled on his chest scales. His attack on Spike started with a body slam and a sickening thud.

Twilight ran forward as Spike bounced in a cloud of dust . Garble reached to grab her seeing an easy breakfast, but Spike bit his
hand taking her off the menu and with his free tail he shoved her to safety.

"I'm not going to be quick pony lover" Garble hissed "I'm going to make sure you're awake to see me eat your mamby pamby little

pony Princess".

The fight between the two dragons lasted but a few minutes, Twilights magic was anything but useful against the red dragon.

Poor Spikey laid under Garbles claw. The little dragon grunted as his ear fluke was painfully pulled.

"That's for our last fight you little runt" Garble looked at the princess "You run he dies now you bow before me I might let you two go".

"Twilight don't ..." A toe claw pressed against Spikes mouth.

"Well what is it?" Garble wanted some of that pony happy meal and all of three of them knew Spike was the bait.

"Let him speak" Twilight ordered as she stepped closer to the two dragons.

Garble knew he had nothing to lose. Eat a princess breakfast use Spike as a tooth pick and be back at the cave in time for dissert.
No witnesses no clues.

"I'm sorry Spike my magic doesn't work on dragons. I don't know what to do!"

"Run Twilight run" Spike yelled but she stood her ground. His heart sunk thinking they both were doomed.

"You're really stupid for being a princess why don't we get this over quick it's no scales off my back, You're both good as gone".

Twilight couldn't shield Spike in his position neither would teleporting work. With her options limited her heart broke at the thought of leaving Spike at the mercy of this heartless dragon her brain ran formulas and situational tactics and they all ran short of the goal,
Save Spike.

"Garble I know that you will end us both can I at least write a goodbye note to my marefriend?" Spike asked "Dragons code?"

The red dragon gagged at the thought of Spike and that one prissy unicorn mare being together but the thought of her sadness
brought a bright gleeful smile to this evil plans! Pain and suffering galore for those stupid ponies.

A quill and scroll was stuffed in front of Spike "Do you mind it's a little private".

The red dragon rolled his eyes as Twilight looked on still thinking how to best this mental midget.

"Are you done yet?"

"Yea yea, can you give it to Twilight she can send it after she checks my spelling" Spike motioned to the Alicorn.

"You know you really are a pathetic excuse of a dragon, got to have your mommy check your spelling how lame can you get?"

The scroll was tossed to Twilight who quickly read the contents and checked the spelling. She looked at Spike confused as what to do.
He motioned his claws together quickly with a slap. She twisted her head as in 'What?" Spike repeated the claw signal and shrugged.
Her horn glowed as the parchment flashed a pink burst and flashed out of sight.

"Well it's time" Twilight said with a nervous smile. She approached the two her head bowed. Step by step closer to the breakfast plate.

"You promise to release Spike after you have me?" Twilight asked the red ruffian.

"Yea yea get over here already" Garble loosened his grip on his captive.

Twilight edged closer to the two.

The dragon reached out and grabbed the Alicorn while Spike was held in place with his foot.

Huffing Twilight yelled "Release Spike that was the deal!"

Garble laughed holding Twilight in a vice like grip his breath fogging up her eyeballs, the breakfast special served early.

"You ponies are so stupid and weak now that runt can watch you get eaten by a real dragon".

Twilights horn sparked to life as Garble watched. His laughter increased to maniacal levels as her assault tickled his scales.

Spike tapped Garbles foot and looked up to the much larger dragon with a knowing smile.

"Do you give up?" Spike asked with a smile that made Garble laugh that much harder.

"Duh NO! What you take me for?" Garble snickered "I'm so going to enjoy your suffering as I eat your mamby pamby Princess".

"You sure you wont change your mind?" Spike prodded the dragon on.

"No now stop bothering me".

"Okay if you're sure".

"Yes I'm sure!"

"Okay... Twilight he's sure".

Garble paused a second and

WHAM! OUCH!

WHAM WHAM WHAM I've got a headache.

CLANG I'm getting sleepy

THUD stupid ponies THUD Stupid Spike THUDMommy

Garbled laid on the ground stars filled his vision as the lights dimmed.

Two massive boulders landed on either side of the pummeled bully as a tired Spike looked on.

Twilight shook her mane out of her eyes and grabbed Spike in a hug. She gathered their belonging as he wiggled free.

"Spike lets get out of here before he wakes up".

"One moment Twi" Spike said "Ah can you turn around?"

"Why Spike?"

"It's a dragon thing" Spike looked at the fallen dragon before him.

Twilight turn around looking away as Spike did his thing "You're not going to kill him are you?"

"Nope finished" Spike paused "Lets get out of here".

The two heros exited stage right after a few minutes elapsed Twilight couldn't contain her curiosity and asked her number one assistant
a simple question that was gnawing at her overly developed brain.

"Spike what was that secret dragon thing you did to Garble back there?"

"Just a dragon thing no secret".

"So if it's not a secret why did I have to turn around?"

"Stuff"

"Stuff?"

"I was doing the dominate dragon on Garble"

"You did what?"

"Didn't Ember tell you?"

"What?"

Spike looked around secretively spoke in a quite tone he giggled whispering in her ear.

"Oh gross that's disgusting even for you!"

Twilight looked like she was about to blow hay chunks until she realized to where she sent Spikes goodbye letter... Oh Tom!

The Carousel Boutique erupted in a single sentence "I THOUGHT I SAID WE SHALL NEVER SPEAK OF HIM AGAIN!"

The scroll reading

Later on Garble awoke with a terrible headache wondering when it rained on such a sunny day.
