What a couple of day's had been for Equestria: A wedding, a trap settled by an old evil enemy of the kingdom and a war between the local heroines and an entire insectoid race. At the end the wedding and party that happened after they won the fight let the bearers of the elements rather tired but happy nonetheless; but now that's a thing of the past, to be more precise,right now its half midnight in ponyville and all the guests are on their way back home to take a well deserve rest.

Except for a dragon, a worried dragon that moved his concerns aside while the celebration was taking place so his friend could enjoy the wedding party; but those concerns find their way back to his troubled mind as soon as they got home. In the meantime that friend, Twilight, was opening the door of their house, releasing a content sigh while making her way inside.

"Finally we are back, these last days had been crazy enough for me, how I wish to sleep and start a whole day of reading tomorrow" a drained Twilight cheered while making her way to her room, her head hanging low because of the fatigue.

"Twilight..."

"Be sure to close the door Sp-"

"I'm sorry for not listening to you..." Spike interrupted.

The unicorn's ears, that had been folded and tired, flicked, along with her ears something in her mind also clicked. Twilight's head quickly found her way up again, her expression lifeless and somber. Spike hugged his tail in anticipation of what will come for him.

"Thanks. I almost forgot to talk about that matter. You see Spike, I understand why the others didn't believe me" Twilight said patrolling in circles around Spike. "Celestia and Luna were too stressed with the preparations, the press, the guests, and who know what other things".

Twilight took a stand before him, her aura sending a cold shiver through Spike's spine "The girls had never known about Cadance till this day so the fact they didn't believe me was right for me at the end" she explained.

Twilight hold spike with her magic, turning him to face her, her eyes had recovered her bright, but were now covered in tears. "The only one I didn't understand was you, Spike, why you didn't believe in my words?" she muttered between sobs.

"Cadance is my sister Twilight, I-"

Twilight released Spike abruptly, making him fall to the ground, his hisses of pain echoing through the library "All the more reasons you should have guessed she was an impostor!" she shouted to him.

"I DIDN'T KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT CHANGELINGS!" he screamed, making twilight snap a tear which went unnoticed by the drake, "The only thing I knew was that my 'sister' was stressed. I couldn't talk properly with her because there was always somepony near her every time I tried, if I could have the chance maybe I would have guessed something was wrong!" he explained before calming himself.

"I knew about transformation spells but they can't fool the smell, changelings go far beyond that, Chrissalys smelled just like my sister..." Spike said, his eyes diverting from his best friend, "Do you know how hard is to keep a baby and an entire kingdom alone?".

Twilight was returning to her calm self, "why do you ask?" she responded with another question to the abrupt change of topic.

"Most of the time I needed to be with mom she was away doing politics and making Equestria a better place to her beloved ponies, so the only time I could be with her was at night, almost fifteen minutes before it was time to sleep"Spike took a pause," Je... most dragons are messy and angry all the time at that age, but not this one!" he declared with pride, "The only thing I craved was companionship and care in a world when no one looked like me... and everyone feared me like I was a monster. Cadance was the answer to my prays: She stood by my side most of my first years, she instructed me how to show love so no one would fear the beast they believed I was, and when she got to be an alicorn she thanked me, saying I show her that even the most feared race can be loved and trusted".

Spike hugged Twilight, seeing how she was on the verge of crumbling, "I love her as much I love mom. Thinking she was ponynapped or worse... I blocked myself of that thought, I just wanted the wedding to end and see my lovely sister back".

Twilight hugged him back, tears freely flowing down her muzzle "I didn't know... I'm sorry Spike, you have done so much for me, that I forgot you were not supposed to be with me, maybe if you have stayed with Celestia, Cadance wouldn't -"

Spike grabbed her muzzle, making her face him, "Don't you dare end that sentence!" he tightened the hug, " what is done cannot be undone, and even if I could go back in time I will choose you again Twilight. You gifted me life itself and that's something I'll happily pay to you for the rest of my life. And for your knowing, I've enjoyed most of my life as your assistant" he ended with a smile.

Twilight was sobbing uncontrollably, her mascara and fur were a mess of tears and sweat, but she didn't care, she was happy.

"Thanks, Spike... that's the sweetie's thing someone had said to me; from now on I know I can always count on you" she said between sobs, "let's get some sleep, my number one assistant".

It was another night at ponyville, the streets were mostly empty. It was a fresh night for the one's still wake up to enjoy it. A perfect night to share a snuggle and a hot cocoa, unluckily for the purple unicorn known as Twilight Sparkle, she will have only one of those two things tonight; but it was for a good cause, she had been sharing the help of his assistant with the other five bearers throughout the last two months, while giving some advice to them in order to test her doubts about Spike instinctive magic.

Meanwhile, in the village boutique, a fashionista and a dragon were sharing the bed, the pristine white mare was reluctant about the act at first, but two important factors made her change of mind.

The first one was that the said dragon, Spike the lovely assistant, had been helping her since early in the morning, cleaning the whole boutique, making all three foods plus desserts, taking care of the fabric and tools unused while the ones used were better organized than she would ever achieve, two massages worth enough to throw him in the spa with enough recommendation to put him in the VIP staff; and finally, he listed the pieces made, classifying them for date and client. Surprisingly they made the entire collection of two weeks of sales in one day.

'Now I understand why she got to be the best student of Celestia, with that kind of help every day the only thing to worry about would be studying... who knows, maybe he made her tests and essays too' the opal furred unicorn named Rarity though, a little giggle escaping her muzzle. After some shifting, she found herself finally comfortable in the snuggle, now was the time she realized the heat, the kind of heat that your body craves after enduring cold for hours; the sensation was alien for her; after all, her home, and especially her room, had never been the one to get cold slip inside.

This was the second reason, the bed was so comfy and cozy that it made the single thought of getting up something unacceptable.

It was easy for her to confirm where the heartwarming heat was coming, she found herself astonished at first; when Twilight started this test on her assistant all the girls commented how Spike was a really comfortable partner to share the bed, but she never thought it could be this kind of sensation. It was not only the not ending heat (that to make it weirder it changed alongside her temperature, never overdoing itself, so sweat was no problem) but his tender scales, his soft and sweet breath, and finally the feeling of protection he emanated.

Apart from that anything else seemed unworthy of mention, not even that weird phrase.

"You are mine..." Rarity muttered, an uneasiness rolling in her mind, it sounded wrong, like something you would not say to a friend or a child in this case.

'Wait is he a child or a baby? Twilight told us he was a baby dragon some years ago, but not matter how I see it he doesn't seem's to be one... sure he has shown some childish attitudes and fears, but well if I had that stature while fighting monsters and villains capable of destroy Equestria, I would be scared too' Rarity thought. letting the fatigue finally took her to sleep. The questioning could be made some other day, right now she and her little friend deserved a rest worth of two weeks of work.

Some days later

Dense foliage that barely let pass some light between them, trees and plants with minds of their own, predator's hives in every corner. This, is the Everfree forest, holder of the chaotic remains of the battle between discord and the royal sisters, the crumbling palace that once shined in the past, and also the place which influenced most of the nightmares of colts and mares since nightmare moon concealment.

It was safe to say that the forest had changed in the past 3 years, thanks to the local heroes of the kingdom that lived next door, most of the crumbling chaos magic had disappeared making the sentient plants less aggressive, and more importantly, less dangerous to the ones that dared to enter. The animals, on the other hand, hadn't changed in the slightest, so going with a guide was recommendable, a guide like the known alchemist zebra named Zecora, who's hut is placed not so far from the outskirt of the forest.

The bad thing is, that she couldn't make up to be a guide today, after all, she would be busy for the day, once her visitor decides to knock at the door.

'It has been quite a time since the bells had sung, but no knock from the one that outside got stuck' she rhymed in her head.

Most of the citizen would not know, but Zecora had learned the patron of sounds produced by the forest when someone gets nearby to her hut; Something she had learned in order to know whether she need to be ready to fight a predator or to receive a visit.

A couple of knocks ceased the uneasiness of Zecora, "Zecora are you there? is me Twilight" she heard the familiar voice.

"Come in my friend, I hope to find you well in this day" she welcomed while Twilight was making her way inside.

"I hope I didn't interrupt something" she smiled, "but the girls proposed that you could be of help with a problem I have with Spike"

"Your assistant is in need?-"

"Well not exactly" Twilight interrupted, "let me explain: Some weeks ago I have seen some patrons and... reactions to Spike's body, I asked the girls to take care of him a day each, hoping they would see anything suspicious happening to him, but at the end they only find one thing in common, his body heat, which for some reasons is really pleasant to the touch no matter how cold or hot you are" she explained.

"By the way you say it, seems like you got short hoofed at the answer you were crabbing. may I ask what else you were searching?" she asked in a rhyme, her eyes focused in the potions near her workbench.

"Well, it's rather embarrassing to tell..." she responded, succeeding in the effort of being calm and not show any indication to the wise zebra. "I have read before that there are potion's capable of inducing someone into her primal instincts-"

"But what you'll need, has to be less risky" she interrupted Twilight before giving her a red potion which she grabbed with her magic. "I have an interest in the little guy too, so more information about dragons would be of my gratitude".

"Thanks for the help Zecora, and don't worry, if this work I would send you my reports as soon as possible" Twilight cheered before taking her leave home.

"I would hope your success then, and hope to see you again, as soon as you can" She exclaimed to the happy unicorn. She watched from the distance for a long time just in case, after all, the forest keeps being a dangerous place for a young pony.

"Well, well, I better go too, since my resources aren't what they used to" The wise zebra commented, grabbing a saddlebag and going her way to the deep forest in search for more ingredients.

It has been tree days since twilight's visit to Zecora, the potion had not been used yet because the subject for the test wasn't in home. Two days early while Twilight was arriving she found herself with Spike at the front door of their house library, finishing a letter to the princess.

"Sorry twilight, princess Luna needs my assistance, I'll be back in two days. I let your dinner near your workbench and I made some plates for tomorrow, you will only need to heat them" he said before giving her a hug and running away to Canterlot.

Being away from him some days is easy for her only if she doesn't have a big test in her schedule, which unluckily Celestia gave her that exact day. An essay discussing time space travel spells and the repercussion of their previously use in the present; trying to backtrack non-existent information like that required to use another time traveling spell, and a lot of confusing shenanigans, which ended in a stressed Twilight, a stack of thirty sheets of work and less cheese based Quesadilla.

Spike by the other hand only got two nights as a scribe, a work he was so used to that he found not trouble in the slightest. And just as he said, he got back to ponyville two days later, making a stop at Sugarcube corner once he arrived.

"Welcome Spike!" the pink hyperactive pony know as Pinkie Pie greeted him with a loud cheer, scaring Spike who had only opened the door a second before.

"Pinkie! you almost give me a heart attack!" he panted, taking a moment to compose himself, "It's good to see you, I've just got back from Canterlot and wanted to buy some cupcakes for my way home".

"Sorry Spike my pinkie senses were telling me a dragon was nearby and since no one was screaming outside I thought It could only be you" she explained while going to the back of the store.

"Wait do you have a sense for incoming dragons?".

Pinkie got back with a package of six cupcakes in her mouth, releasing the box in the counter she responded, "nah, just kidding, I watched you in your way here through the windows and the idea of greeting you like that popped in my mind" she ended with a smile.

"Well, at least you didn't welcome me with a pie in the face this time. How much it's for the box?".

"Three bits" She responded before Spike put the money on her hooves, "And don't be silly, even if I wanted I couldn't do that, cakes seasons ended a month ago!" she chirped, jumping her way to clean a dirty table close to the left corner of the store.

"Wait, Pinkie, cakes and pies don't have seasons... no wait I understand, you mean sell season right?".

"What do you mean? you know you can make them grow out of trees right?" she asked, confused about her friend unacknowledged.

Spike's sense of logic was screaming for help at this point, imploring him to be as far away from his friend as possible, "you know what? I'll just accept that fact and took my leave before you pop out an actual three that makes pies. I gonna go, is time to see how Twilight managed this two days alone".

"Bye bye Spike hope we can get another snuggle party like a month ago!" the hyperactive mare screamed to the dragon on his way out.

Spike face turned red at the memory of his previous encounters with the pink mare. 'Going out with her is nice, and she really knows how to cook, but... the tickles. too many tickles... ' he thought while a shiver ran through his spine.

After receiving the day with the reality intriguing shenanigans of the pink party mare, and now with confections at hand, Spike was ready to go back home; his entrance well received for a restless twilight. at first what he couldn't believe what he was looking, most of Twilight body had ink marks impressions, the shade of red in her eyes were proof of two straight days of work without sleeping, and not even rainbow dash could make a mess of hair worst than how it was right now; not the mention her unpleasant body odor.

"Twilight you look terrible!" he shouted, letting the box of confections in the ground and running to her side.

"Oh Spike, you are finally back, and those are cupcakes? perfect just the energy I need to finish the correction in these papers" she said with a raspy voice while taking a cupcake with her magic.

"No no no miss, you need to rest. Let me take care of the correction"the drake said before taking the cupcake out of his friends hooves " and no sugar for you, what you need is a nice cup of tea, a bath and some sleep" he said while making his way to the kitchen in order to make some tea.

"Don't worry Spike, there are only fifteen pages left so I can..." she drifted to sleep, " I can..." Twilight wake up jut to find that Spike was back already, and his claws were massaging her back, "um... I really needed one of those..." she cooed.

Spike's tender claws went for the back of her neck first, his thumbs moving and pressing in a circle motion; Twilight felt her vision blur, finally acknowledging her own fatigue and the fact she actually wasn't feeling her neck until he popped some knots out of there. Now that Twilight's neck was safe of a muscle cramp, Spike started his way down to her back.

"I can't let you sleep with all this tension, if I do, you will wake up with cramps all over your body" he explained, popping another couple of knots in the process.

"Ugh, there.. you haven't lost your touch while being away for a month.. or was a week? I don't know, time travel confuses me" she said between moans.

"It was just two days Twilight"Spike hissed, "you seriously you need to rest; don't worry about anything, I'll finish your work while you sleep" he said. A high pitched sound came from the kitchen, "your tea is ready, go upstairs and take a bath, your cup will be near your bed".

Spike little trot to the kitchen was interrupted by a sudden hug, "Thanks, number one assistant" she expressed in joy.

"Anything for you Twilight", Spike hummed.

The night took over quickly for the little dragon, after correcting the grammar errors of the first fifteen pages he realized that the other half of the essay were far from done. He ended his work after another hour of work and disposed himself to the couch, the new issue of the power ponies in claw. By ten o'clock he went to the kitchen for a little snack, but find a flask behind the box of cupcakes with the label 'For Spike' on it, too tired to ask first, he grabbed the flask and a cupcake and went back to the living room. Once there he noticed that Twilight was already awake and reading the papers he just finished correcting.

"That's more like the Twi I know. Double checking right?" he asked, noticing how Twilight appearance has improved back to her normal self.

"Yeah. now I noticed how much I needed that rest; by the way, the tea was delicious" she cheered.

"I'm glad to hear it, by the way... what is this flask? it has my name on it" Spike asked, showing her the potion Zecora gave her two days ago.

"Oh..." she panicked for a moment, "it's from Zecora... a test potion, if it works maybe you could grow a little more without the need of Greed" she improvised, to be fairs, she didn't know either what could be the effects of the potion.

"Sweet, I'll try it right away then" he said while making his way to the couch.

Several minutes passed away, the sounds of chews had ended, replaced by the sound of sheets passing. Twilight took a look at him, seeing at her little assistant who was inspecting his claws and body.

"You fell anything new?" she asked.

"Nope, the only difference is the sudden need I got to shut my eyes and go to sleep, aside from that, nothing" he responded before a yawn sliped away of his mouth.

Twilight organized the paper before putting them in a folder, "before you go to sleep, can you-" she stopped mid sentence, her eyes fixed on the dragon.

"Eh? send that folder to the princess? of course, give me a sec I have to be cautious when it's more than one thing at the time" he said, her flames burning the folder slowly.

Meanwhile twilight was flustered, watching the young dragon body ' His scales, I don't remember them being so beautiful, and his flames... they are so bright and colorful, is because of the potion maybe? no, it can't be, he said nothing seemed to change for him.'

Spike yawned again and flexed, popping some knots on his claws in the process, "holly molly I'm tired..." he said, his eyesight barely withstanding.

"Mind if I take you to bed?" Twilight asked with half lidded eyes.

"I wouldn't mind In the slightest..." he said, not noticing the seductive look in Twilight's face.

Without thinking it twice, Twilight mounted her little assistant in her back, the sudden touch giving an electric pleasure that ran through her spine. ' change of plans, you go to my bed mister dragon' she thought before teleporting upstairs into her bed with him.

Twilight placed herself on her back, letting Spike rest on her body; the sensation amplifying by the second, his scales were not only sending heat, they were also sending an electrifying feeling. Spike by his part was already asleep, a dream already taking place in his unconscious mind.

"Fluttershy... that rabbit should be in tarta- hmp" Spike muttered before his lips were embraced by Twilight's ones.

"Spike... hmp" she relished, her horn charging a lucid dream on the drake before her own conscious slipped away.

"Fluttershy... hmp" Spike panted, "what are you... mmph ahg, doing?".

"Worry not my dear, the animal's won't tell our secret" Twilight said, taking advantage of the lucid dream to pretend she was Fluttershy.

"mphm... you promise not to tell anyone? Twilight would be mad if she finds you are doing this to me".

"Don't worry my little baby dragon, just enjoy yourself" Twilight assured.

Without warning nor hesitation, Spike took Fluttershy muzzle with his claws in his dreams, becoming the dominant one in the kiss.

'YES~ I'm finally mastering the lucid dream spell! and now he is kissing me back! and this time he tastes like strawberries and chocolate!' Twilight shouted in her mind, feeling for the first time a truly shared kiss.

Spike's tongue took the initiative, making her way inside Twilight's mouth, her reptile muscle started to cover twilight's tongue, trapping it like a python would do to his prey; his tongue flicked and moved through Twilight's length.

'Oh my good Celestia, I can't feel my tongue... no is not that, my tongue is just an erogenous piece of meat now... and... and I love it! keep going Spike mmmph ' she thought in delight, 'oh right he can't hear the voices in my head'.

"Uhm... Spike, I want more... if you want to deepen the kiss that is" she impersonated her shy friend as best as she could while having her tongue tangled.

Spike didn't answer with words but with actions, her long reptile tongue going his way through all the corner of her mouth in swifts motions. At this point, Twilight was twitching in extasies while engulfing all the tasty saliva she could manage and fighting her way to get some oxygen; but even in that state her mouth never departed Spike's one... until he spoke again.

"Wait" Spike said between gasps, " flutter you hmph... you, you smell like Twilight" Spike shifted, his senses going back to reality because of the lack of air.

Spike last words brought back twilight for a second; taking account of Spike's shiftings and mumblings, she conjured the deep inducing sleep spell on him before he could wake up.

"That was a close one..." Twilight panted.

both of them remained exhausted for a moment, the heavy breaths were the only sound that could be heard in the library besides the cracks of the wood. After a minute, Twilight composed herself just because she realized the controversial spot where Spike's tail was placed, and how delightful was to be touched there.

"Celestia teach me how to say no to this... " she pleaded, her winking clitoris fore-playing with the near spear that was at her side.
.
Her left hoof started to trace a line all the way down Spike's spine, touching the end of Spike's tail, making subtle pressure on it, "good heavens, I don't know how to say no to this", a wave of pleasure coursing through her body the more she pressed down.

"This is getting out of hooves, I need to stop myself before I made something forbidde-" she said before a loud moan escaped her mouth, "goodness this feels amazing... but I need... to stop... ahg... just one more thing... before I force myself to sleep".

Twilight took Spike into a deep kiss again, her hoof rubbing Spike tail up and down against her haunches, her tongue unrelentingly shoving herself inside Spike's mouth getting scratched by the dragon pointy teeth's, and her horn illuminating with another deep sleep-inducing spell.

" I'm so glad you came back today, I was already missing you" she praised, her magic ready to be cast.

"My dragon" she ended, the spell shocking her nerves with pleasure before placing her happily into sleep.

The sun shone through ponyville library once again, signaling the beginning of a new day; a signal that came alongside a sweet aroma coming from bellow her bed, was well received by a purple unicorn who moaned in delight while stretching herself.

"Twilight are you up? breakfast it's almost ready" The voice of her little assistant echoed through the house.

"I'm on my way Spike!" she replied, a sudden question popping in her mind while doing so, "did the potion change something in you at the end?" ' because I'm hell sure I enjoyed some of its effects last night' she recalled.

"Nope, not even an inch taller, but I have to say I feel a little uneasy now, maybe it was the flavor, that potion surely tasted bad. Other than that I'm still sleepy"

Twilight got into the living room, making herself conformable while Spike served the food: hotcakes with honey and a cup of coffee for her, and a bowl of gems for him.

"Sorry, I wanted to make something better but we are running out of food and ingredients" he apologized.

"Don't worry, actually it's my fault for not taking care of the house while you were on Canterlot, let's go to the market after we eat"

He nodded and started to munch the gems with content; Twilight equally was happy for the food, but her actions make her look more desperate than delighted.

"You need to be more careful with the way you eat Twilight, It's a really bad habit of yours".

' I thought you liked it, since you seemed to be enjoying Fluttershy eating you out yesterday like I'm doing with my pancakes right now' she thought before nodding, not noticing at first the seductive look she was showing.

"I'll try to correct myself. Now back to the previous... are you sure you don't feel anything else after drinking that potion?" her expression got back to her normal self while asking.

"Aside of the uneasiness? no, everything seems normal" he responded, taking his bowl to the dish.

'I'm sure something was different on him last night, but maybe It was my hormones... my estrus seasons is around the corner after all... For the meantime, I'll tell Zecora that the potion failed, or maybe I'll tell her it was only me seeing things from the beggining'

Twilight took a sip of her cup, savoring the remains of the food, 'What if all of this is because of my hormones since the beginning? I'm sure Spike dragon nature had something to do with it too, but, if he really was the only reason, the girls would have noticed' she thought before getting to a conclusion, 'maybe it's time to seek myself a stallion, that would solve part of this mystery'.

Author's Note

I took more time that what i anticipated while making this one, aside for correcting it by myself, Twilight personality and her ways of doing things made me rethink the course of this chapter, but it ended three time's better than the original idea.
