Frayed Feathers and Scales

The rain battered against the castle windows, though they stood strong against the storm. Rainbow Dash glanced at the windows, a single thought running through her mind, 'Why did they set it for all month?'

Rainbow Dash sipped her sweet cherry soda, then returned her gaze, staring at Spikes rump through her shades. Applejack rolled her eyes as she glances at Rainbow, then sipped her cider.

"Ya know, Ah could ask 'im ta shake it for ya. Put on a lil' show." Applejack teased, making Rainbow tilt her head, giving a soft chuckle.

"Put him in a cute outfit while you're at it." Rainbow Dash mumbled, making Applejack smirk. "Sailors uniform?"

"Ah was thinkin' playgirl bunny."

"I dunno, I'm thinking cute dragon outfit." Gilda butt in, taking a loud gulp of her soda.

Rainbow and Applejack nodded, all three staring at his rump. He, too busy in his own world, hummed as he wiggled his rump, unknowingly giving all three a show.

"I think he'd look cute in a maid outfit." Pinkie said, making all three women jump, Gilda having to refrain from slamming her fist into Pinkies cheek. "I mean, tell me that butt wouldn't look good in panties." She whispered to the others, Rainbow gaining a lewd glint in her eye.

Applejack rolled her eyes, then looked at Pinkie. "You got invited too?"

"Yeah. Rarity and Fluttershy couldn't come though."

"That's a shame." Rainbow Dash smirked, watching Spike bend over to pick up a duster, her wings appearing and flaring out at the sight, before disappearing.

"Girls." Twilight said, walking in front of them. Their gazes met Twilights...well, except Rainbow, who started to lean over to keep staring, a vein appearing in Twilights temple. "If you're done ogling my brother, we can start the sleepover now."

Gilda chuckled, then stood up. "Spike, don't get too into it. We still gotta watch that movie later." She called out as she exited the room, Pinkie and Applejack following.

Twilight was about to exit, though, without turning her head, quietly muttered out, "Rainbow, stop staring at Spikes ass and get ready."

Rainbow scoffed, then got up, stretching as she did so. Twilight heard a soft squeak before Rainbow rocketed out of the room, appearing in Twilights a second later. Twilight turned around to see Spike blushing and rubbing his butt.

"Sh-she pinched me."

Once the girls left the room, Spike sighed softly. The feelings of being watched disappeared quickly, so he continued working.

His thoughts eventually drifted to Applejack and Rainbow Dash, giving a soft snort. How were they going to react once Gilda told them? He knew both had an eye on him for awhile, and, although men were encouraged to have multiple female partners, seeing as the male to female rate in Equestria was 1 to 5, he didn't know if Dash and Jackie would be into that.

Not that he would mind multiple partners. He had feelings for Gilda, and he knew it was love...but he felt the same way with Applejack and Rainbow Dash, and one more girl who shall be unnamed at the moment.

Feelings are confusing.

Spike shook his head, realizing he had been dusting the same spot for five minutes, then wondered away to put the cleaning equipment away.

Maybe he should talk to someone about these feelings. Gilda knew already, but she couldn't offer much help.

Twilight would definitely freak out if she found out. Your little brother is crushing on your two friends? And he is already dating his bodyguard?

Spike rubbed this temples with his palms, then decided to go read a book or watch a movie. Perhaps he'll come up with...something tomorrow.

Twilight smiled as she opened the door, then looked back at them, "I'll go get some drinks, don't start the gossip until I get back!"

When the door finally closed, Rainbow Dash twirled to Gilda and immediately asked, "How good is Spike in bed?"

That question prompted Gilda to quirk an eyebrow and blush. "What?"

"How good is he at sex, silly billy!" Pinkie clarified, making Applejack sigh, then rub her eyes.

"You two ever heard of kiss and don't tell?" Applejack asked, then looked at the two with a soft glance.

Rainbow turned to her and said, "C'mon, Jackie! You aren't even a little curious?"

"Truth be told, Ah am a little curious, but Ahm not gonna get in her business to learn about it."

With Rainbow Dash and Applejack arguing, Gilda took this time to think of some way to get out of this mess. She could lie and tell them he fucked her like she was a mare in heat. Then again, Dashie would probably ask Spike for the other side of the story, and she didn't want to put him through that.

She could deflect the question with humor. That...wouldn't work. Knowing Pinkies sense of humor, it'd probably fly right over her head and leave her questioning.

She could just choose not to answer...well, that'd answer it for them.

So, Gilda, shifting on her plump rear, sighed, then blushed as she answered, "We...haven't actually had sex yet."

That stopped the twos bickering as they stared at her, Pinkie hugging the pillow into her plentiful chest.

"We....I decided that I should take it slow with him. We should go on a few dates before anything serious happens, and...I like him too much to just fuck him and leave, y'know?"

Applejack smiled and nodded, pulling her stetson off so her beautiful, long blonde hair dropped out. "Ah can respect that, sugarcube."

Rainbow Dash stuck her tongue out, blowing a raspberry, "Man, all this romantic stuff is boring."

Pinkie sighed as she held her own hand, "I am glad Spikey-Wikey found a good girl to date!"

Gilda bit her lip, then looked around, as if she'd find a Spy among them, then leant in, smiling, "He's one Tartarus of a kisser though."

Rainbow Dash grinned, then puffed her wings out, them appearing to show arousal. "With that tongue, I bet he'd be good at-"

She was cut off by Applejacks pillow slamming into her face, sending her back. A vein appeared in Applejacks temple as she huffed.

"Rainbow!"

"What?! We were all thinking it!"

Unknown to them, Twilight had been listening the entire time, her ear pressed against the door. She then nodded, satisfied, then went down to grab some drinks.

"Spike knows how to pick 'em..."
