Surprise Present

Go to where stress will end,
Where worry and soreness away you can send,
Where you can spend a day with your friends,
This is where your quest truly begins.

Spike read over the clue again. The file they mentioned had been pretty easy to find, but he wasn’t expecting riddles, though. “Let’s see...where stress ends, which means sending worry and soreness away...so it’s were you can relax, unwind, and where you can spend it with friends.” He mulled over where that could be; it had to be a place he was aware of, obviously. And somewhere the friends would have a common interest in going to.

“Sugar Cube Corner’s out; nice place to unwind, but doesn’t fit the rest. Same thing with the park.” He ticked off each place as they came to him, “Beach...? No, it might work, but that’s an all day trip.” His mind rolled over a few other places but discarded them as either being ineffective for stress/aching muscle relief, or a place most wouldn’t really care to go to.

Then it hit him, along with his hand as he facepalmed at the answer, “Relief...why didn’t I think of it first.”

Relaxation, working out aches, and just about every pony in town went there:

The Ponyville Spa.

A quick shower and change of clothes later, and Spike was soon in front of the spa. “Well, the clue said this little adventure starts here.”

*ding-a-ling!*

“Hey, Aloe.” He called out over the entry bell to the pink mare sitting at the front desk.

“Mr. Spike, we’ve been expecting you!” She chirped eagerly, almost bouncing in her seat.

“You have?”

“Oh, yes. We have you penned down for the ‘Nuru Special’” She promptly giggled.

“Nuru? What’s that, one of those seaweed wrap-style treatments?”

“It’s best you find out first hand.” An oddly coy grin crossed the mare’s lips, “Now, if you’d be so kind as to change, my sister and I will prep the massage room.” With that, she handed him a towel and robe before zipping off into the back.

’So, a birthday massage to start off with, huh?’ He thought, heading to the changing room, ’I’m not complaining’’ Stripping off his t-shirt and jeans, he tossed them into one of the small lockers and put the robe on. Stepping back in the hall, however, he was greeted by a gasp.

“Oh my...I may not be carnivorous, but I see some meat I wouldn’t mind nibbling on.”

He quickly wheeled around to find the source; a grinning Lotus Blossom staring at him, blushing brightly.

“Do wha?” He asked.

“It would appear my sister...accidentally gave you the wrong size robe.” Lotus replied, making no attempt to hide her ogling.

“Wrong...gah!” He glanced squawked in alarm when he checked it. What he had on was more for a foal than him; the bottom half barely covered a third of his thighs. His face turned fire engine red as he tried to pull it down to a more modest length, wrapping his tail around himself as well for a bit more modesty, “Uh...I-I’m gonna get to the massage room.” He quickly skittered off.

“You know, Mr.Spike, if you’re interested in some exfoliation, I have just the thing for your face.” She called out after him.

“W-what?”

“My legs wrapped around it.”

He nearly broke off into a run, the red now almost neon.

It took a good five minutes before he managed to relax after Lotus’ comments-with Aloe apologizing the whole time once she found him, but when he did, he quickly focused back on the matter at hand while she led him to one of the private rooms.

“Here we are.” She spoke up, letting him in. Instead of normal lighting, the room had a single blue-colored light shining in the ceiling, giving the room a soft glow. “Just lay facedown on the table and make yourself comfortable. Once you're ready we can begin." She instructed before closing the door, leaving him alone.

Once that happened, he stepped over to the table, removing the robe. As he climbed on, though, he spotted something laying on it; a blindfold. A small tag was attached to it with 'Put Me On' written on. "I...guess it's part of the nuru thing." He mused, putting it on, draping the towel over himself, and getting into a comfortable spot.

His world now blanketed in darkness, Spike quietly waited for Aloe to get back. A couple of minutes later, and he noticed his sense of hearing had begun picking up the slack for his eyes; namely the fact that he heard the soft creak of the massage room door slowly open followed by faint footsteps. For some reason they sounded awfully similar to somepony walking barefoot.

'That's odd.' He thought, wondering why Aloe had taken her shoes off, "Um, Aloe? Why'd you-?" He was abruptly cut off by a finger gently pressed against his lips. He started to talk again but the finger cut him off before he could even start. After that he decided he'd wait till afterwards to ask, 'The quiet must be part of the relaxation'

Soon he was treated to the sensation of something thick, wet, and slick being drizzled up and down his back. He tensed a little when it first hit but quickly relaxed when he felt a pair of very feminine hands begin to run over his scales. 'Easy, Spike. It's just some kind of massage gel.' He told himself as the hands spread the gel over his back, shoulders, and sides, kneading into him slightly in the process.

'I have to admit, this is pretty relaxing.' Spike thought, grinning a little when he felt Aloe start using her forearms as well, 'I know this is part of my birthday present, but I need to pay them ba-' he stopped mid-thought. Behind the blindfold, his eyes had widened to comic proportions.

The reason; while he was thinking, she had leaned over to rub his shoulders. While she was doing so, he felt her breasts press slightly against his back. Her quite bare breasts, along with two rock-hard nipples that scraped against him in the process.

' Wha...n-no....that can't be..I did not just feel- His mind froze up briefly as he felt the plump globes graze across his shoulderblades. 'Sh-she's topless...th-there's a top...a topless mare rubbing her chest against me...! Wow...I didn't know Aloe was so busty...gah! What the hell am I thinking!?' he mentally berated himself, 'I am in the same room as a bare-breasted mare!'

Unfortunately for him, he never had time to fully process this info before the towel he had over his rear was suddenly no longer there, leaving him bare to the world. The towel was quickly replaced, however, by the hands, giving each scaly cheek a firm squeeze.

It took all the self-control he could muster not to yelp in surprise at the grope, along with his tail somehow finding itself squeezed between her breasts.

His reserves were quickly put to the test, this time it was to fight off the moan he almost let out at how good that felt as she slid the entire length of his tail through her valley. 'Sweet Celestia...!' he bit his lip to keep quiet, 'I don't believe it...A-Aloe just gave me a tailjob!'

Before he could come down from the impromptu high, he was hit with another sensation. This time it was the feeling of a long, and rather supple-feeling leg slide up over his lower back, followed by weight settling on him. As it did, though, he heard a soft gasp from her and felt...something...kinda warm folding around one of his back spines and lightly grind against it.

His face instantly heated up when the answer hit; it was flesh. Soft, slightly damp flesh. 'What the....i-is she sucking on my spine??' He quickly felt the urge to smack himself for how dumb that sounded, 'Now that's just stupid. That's where she's sit...ing...' His whole body went rigid, 'Ohhh, sweet Luna's derriere...that's her...her...! The breasts returned, pressing against him even more this time along with a toned stomach before her entire upper body began to rub him. His mind temporarily shorted from this.

Spike.EXE has encountered an error. Please reboot

A few seconds-and a couple more rubs-later, his eyes twitched slightly behind the blindfold as he regained his faculties.

It was also the moment he felt something else. Something long, hard, and currently resting between him and the table. If he could, he probably would've paled when he figured what THAT was. 'No, no, nonono! Quit it! You are NOT welcome right now! Get down, dammit! Go away!' The panic started rising when he felt that it was pointing to the side.

Just enough to be visible to Aloe.

'Nononononono! Oh, Celestia....please don't let her see it! Please! DON'T let her see-"

"Now, turn over so I can get your front..."

'MAYDAY! MAYDAY! DEFCON 1! I repeat: DEFCON MOTHERBUCKING 1!'

"....Spikey-Wikey."

'....That's not Aloe.' Everything stopped DEAD. He had to be a fool not to know that voice OR nickname, 'It can't be...It can't...!' Without a second though, he yanked the blindfold off, blinking rapidly to get re-accustomed to the light, and looked over his shoulder.

The naked mare sitting on him gave a disarmingly cute pout, "Now you were supposed to keep that on, naughty boy."

"R-R-Rarity...!?" His pupils shrank to pinholes as he took stock of the situation.

The mare he'd had a crush on for years was before, naked as a jaybird, and straddling his own nude form. Also it'd been her... "You...the...I...ah..." His eyes started to roll back as consciousness began to say goodbye...

Or it would have if not for hands a pair of soft lips to suddenly attach themselves to his. 'She's kissing me....Ra-rarity is kissing me...RARITY'S KISSING ME! HOLY CRAP!' The position his head was in forced him to roll over (luckily she sat up enough so it didn't throw her off) anyway, but at the moment, he didn't really give a damn.

After a moment, they finally separated. "R-Rarity..." He managed to get out, his mind still trying to process the situation.

She simply smiled and whispered, "Happy Birthday." Before pressing against him, squishing her chest against his.

"But...why...I..." he tried to get out.

"I believe the question is why I'm doing this?"

He simply nodded.

"In all honesty, Spike, I've always been quite fond of you." She idly drew circles on his arm, ",And I've long been aware of your feelings for me; though at first I thought it was just a childhood crush, and you'd set your sights elsewhere over time. When you didn't..." She trailed off, "I'm not sure how to explain it exactly, but, my own feelings started to change. It didn't hurt that you were there for me after I felt heartbroken after a fool of myself swaining after stallions like Trenderhoof." A sigh escaped Rarity's lips, "I was so desperate to get his attention I almost ruined my friendship with Applejack. But, even after times like that you stuck with me."

"Well, if it helps, you did look pretty hot in those overalls."

She giggled, "Good thing I kept them then, isn't it? However, the biggest moment is from this..." Sitting up a little, she tilted her head up some to show she had on a gold choker with a familiar heart-shaped gem on it.

"Like you said, you were aging this jewel for months for that day, yet you were still willing to give it to me even though I just thought it was a lovely gem. And after your...growth mishap that day, you were able to make yourself change back."

As Rarity said this, his mind drifted back to what she said while he was in his greed frenzy; "This was given to me by my dear friend Spikey-wikey, the kindest, sweetest, most generous dragon ever. And it is too precious to me to give to a greedy old beast like you!' The same thing that snapped him out of it.

He was quickly snapped out of his thoughts by the feel of her laying back down on him, "For a while I thought it was simply the same affection I felt to all my friends, until Ember showed up at least. When I saw how you two interacted, I realized then what I was feeling...because I was jealous of her for how she managed to get your attention so quickly. It...it's stupid, I know, but for a brief moment I felt as if she was about to replace me in that spot in your heart."

"Replace you? Rarity, you can't be seri-" He was again silenced a finger on his lips.

"I know that now." She whispered, "Again, it was stupid of me to think it. I wanted to act on what I was feeling. Celestia, did I want to, but I couldn't. Not then, anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't want to seem like I was taking advantage of your feelings since you were still young. Plus, I needed to wait until you were seen as old enough, especially by dragon standards. Which just so happens to be Twenty" She smirked a bit at how his expression showed it was starting to dawn on him. "And I'm quite happy to say," she began, slowly finger walking her right hand up his pectorals, "that as of today, Mr. Dragon..." She gently cupped his chin. "You..." she purred as she kissed his right cheek. "Are..." she murmured as she kissed his left cheek. "...legal," she finished, her lips millimeters from his own. "And I...am all yours..."

"A-all..mine...?" Deep down, he knew that was an absurd question. But, in a case like this, it's impossible to not want at least some personal confirmation.

"Every..." her voice came out in a husky purr, "...inch." Spike shivered when her tongue slide along his neck, albeit briefly.

"Rarity...wait, the massage gel..." During it all, he'd felt some of it run onto where she licked. Even though it was no secret that everything at the spa was non-toxic, it still had to taste nasty as hell!

"...is edible." She playfully smacked her lips, "Mmm, pineapple and sexy dragon, my favorite."

Spike was now in a quandary; the mare he'd been crushing on ever since he first came to Ponyville was now sitting on him, nude, and had flat out just offered herself to him.

And he was drawing a complete blank as what to do next! Most of his fantasies had been focused around just getting her to notice him. Now though... As such, he did the only thing he could really think of: he just stared, with both hands firmly at his sides.

Rarity, apparently, was aware of his dilemma and had plans of her own. With one surprisingly smooth move, she pushed herself up towards him, just enough to put her chest an inch from his face. While at the same time, he felt her grasp his hands in her magic and moved them to a supple set of hips, "Care for a taste, Spikey?"

Spike gulped. His mouth felt like the Badlands in a heatwave and his pulse and nerves were drag racing each other. Before him rested the most magnificent breasts he'd ever seen in his life. Granted they were the first, but it still counted: two firm D-cup globes covered in white fur, topped by two candylike, dark pink nipples.

With what felt like Hoofculean effort, he mustered up his courage and slowly snaked out his tongue. A quick flick toward the left one and the tip ran just past the areola. He made sure to put enough pressure so she'd feel it.

Judging by the giggle of delight and slight jiggle that followed, it was safe to assume he'd been successful. 'Hm, it is pineapple. Not bad.'

"You must be hungry," She cooed, moving her chest a little closer, "Bon appetite"

Emboldened a little by that, he gave her other breast a lick, this time a little longer. The purr she let out when he did this seemed to spur him on and he continued eagerly. His tongue rasped against her nipples, eliciting a round of moans and pants from the fashionista.

"Ooh, Spikey..." She whispered, grinding against him lightly in response.

With that, something in him clicked. Running his tongue across her nipple, he followed up by latching his mouth it, sucking eagerly.

"S-Spike...!" Shee gasped

As he rolled the hard nub between his lips, he reached up and grasped her other breast while his other hand slid to her plump rear, giving both fleshy orbs a firm squeeze.

"Ahhh!" Rarity threw her head back crying out.

The cry quickly snapped him out of his rush and and he looked up at her worriedly, "Rarity! Are you all right?"

What he saw, however, while a relief, caught him off guard a tad. She looked back, her face flushed and with a wicked grin, "Heh, Ember wasn't kidding when she said there was a real beast inside you..." she leaned back down, "...now how about putting that beast in me?" punctuating this by lightly biting his ear.

Without warning, he sat up, keeping his hand on her rear so she didn't fall off his lap, fingers sinking slightly into the soft flesh. "Spike want..." He growled, desire and lust shining in his eyes as they looked into her's.

The mare gave him a wide smile, the same look in her own as she returned with an aroused growl of her own, "Then come and get it..." She glanced down when she felt a prodding at her nethers, lighting up when she saw the cause, "Oh my! well, you certainly are coming for it--w-what's that??" She paused abruptly.

"Huh?" he asked confusedly

"There's something poking at my backside..." She looked behind herself to see what it was, her eyes widening, "What in Equestria...Spike, y-you have TWO!?"

"Yeah. Near as I know it's something all dragons have, why?"

A little slack-jawed at the discovery, she gave both erections a brief examination. At full mast, both stood around around eight inches with thick, flared heads. Surprise slowly shifted to curiosity as she tentatively glided her fingers along the one in front of her, and got a quick inhale from Spike in response. All along their length were rows of small, blunt spines. They were firm enough to apparently provide something of a grip, but not enough to hurt. Her cheeks turned a rosy hue and she bit her lip as she thought about the sensation they possibly provided.

Her mind quickly brought up the fact one was behind her and the blush intensified. The more she seemed to think about it, the more Spike saw a look appear on her face. An odd, yet enticing mix of mischief and horny.

Using her magic, she levitated a small amount of the gel out of its jar. "The fact it's edible isn't the only reason I selected this particular massage gel." her voice dropped back to a whisper, "It also doubles..." she promptly slathered it onto both his erections. "...as a wonderful lube."

"L-Lube?" Spike's mind rolled to a halt as Rarity picked herself just high enough to clear them. After a few seconds of aligning, she looked into his eyes, a confident smirk on her lips...

And slowly descended onto him, sucking in a breath when the tips began to push against both her entrances.

Spike growled, resisting the sudden urge to thrust up into her, watching her own face contort a little in ecstasy as she lowered, engulfing him in both holes, "S-sweet Celestia!" She squeaked shakily.

He almost did the same, though the feeling of being surround by her warm, moist flesh was consuming most of his thinking. His breath shallowed a little as she eased herself downward, letting out rather cute squeaks and moans with each inch before finally hilting herself on his lap.

"Oh my..." She panted, a couple beads of sweat on her brow, "That...that was an experience in and of itself! Granted I've used a toy or two in my time, but this!"

"Are..are you all right?" He asked, trying not to stare at the slight heaves of her chest as she caught her breath.

She smiled and put a hand on his cheek, "Oh, I'm more than all right, Spikey-Wikey." She wiggled her hips slightly, almost squealing at how the spines rubbed against her walls, "Just give me a second to acclimate myself." After a moment she exhaled and gripped his shoulders, "Are you ready, Spikey?"

"I think so.." He managed to get out, mind numbing a little from how her mound and ass were squeezing him.

With a sigh, she began to slowly bounce up an down on his lap, squeaking again when the spines began to saw away at two of her most sensitive areas.

Spike grunted, his hands still gripping their original spots, "L-Luna's moon... so t-tight!" He started to lightly knead the breast and buttock he was gripping.

"That's it, Spikey, show your mare what you've got!" She growled, gradually picking up speed. Within a few moments her mane and unheld breast were bouncing almost rhythmically along with multiple moans, squeals, growls and hisses. "Ah...ahh.....oh buck!" She cried out, putting a bit more force as she came back down on him.

Soon he started to feel something tighten in him, Already!? But it's too early..! "Rar-Rarity...I...I think I'm...!" A loud hiss escaped his lips as he emptied into her.

Rarity stopped when she felt something thick and quite warm splash pleasantly into her sex and anus. "Oh Spikey, you came already?" She asked, looking at him like she would a foal who'd just been disappointed.

He didn't respond, although the somewhat embarrassed look on his face told her everything. "Ohh," She cooed, kissing him, "It's quite alright, Spikey-Wikey. This often happens the first time." Her hips wriggled again, "But I can feel you're still hard...which means you can keep going for quite some time now." She gave him a smile that turned almost predatory as she grabbed the back of his head, "So...what are you waiting for?"

His dragon nature immediately took that as a challenge; with a sudden smirk and growl he started to thrust hard up into her, and was rewarded with a delighted squeal.

"Oh, yes!" Rarity cried out, wrapping her legs around him, struggling to hold onto her ladylike demeanor in the process, "Ravish me, Spike! Show me the beast in you!"

If that was meant to push him on, it worked like a charm. He quickly moved both hands to her rear and lifted her hips up slightly before bringing her back down as he went up, the sound of smacking flesh echoing in the room.

"YES!" She screamed, her voice beginning to crack from the intensity "More! Give me MORE!"

"Rarity want?" He managed to ground out, giving her his own predatory grin.

"Rarity want!" She cried out, "Rarity want noooowww!" Her cry turned into a keening wail and she buried her face in his shoulder as her own orgasm rocked her body.

One more thrust and he stopped, breathing heavily.

"Oh...oh...Sweet Celestia and Luna...!" Rarity let out a shuddering exhale, "Spikey, that was magnifiqueeemph!" She was cut off as Spike suddenly claimed her mouth with his own. The next thing she knew, she was on her back on the table with Spike atop. "Spike?"

"Rarity want..." He growled again, nipping lightly at her nipple, "Spike give!"

"!!" Rarity barely managed to gasp before she felt him start pounding into her with an unexpected-yet not unwelcome- fervor. Each thrust now lifting her pelvis off the table.

Her voice died in her throat from the sudden and total dominance; coupled with the new ravishing she was experiencing on her body, already sensitive from her previous climax, it was more than she could handle and she arched her back, screaming out his name in a second surge of orgasmic bliss.

She was quickly followed by a guttural snarl and the familiar warmth as he spilled into her a second time.

Silence filled the room then while the two new lovers fought to catch their breath and surfed the resulting high.

"S...*pant* Spike...?"

"Y-yeah? *huff* Um, sorry about that, Rarity...I lost con--" Again, all talk was silenced by a very passionate kiss.

"I stand corrected..." She whispered, nuzzling his chest, "THAT was c'est vraiment magnifique!"

After several minutes of rest from their fun, followed by an enjoyable shower to clean up...which she insisted they share, the two were eventually in the changing room. Well, Spike was changing, Rarity was still in a towel brushing her mane.

"Rarity?"

"Yes, Spikey?" She chirped happily.

"Um..." He scratched the back of his neck hesitantly, "After what you said before, does...does this mean we're what I...I kinda hope we are now?"

She didn't respond. Instead, she simply stepped up, slipped her arms around his neck, and kissed him, "Without a doubt." Removing one hand to pick up his phone, she added while she started tapping on it, "However, that will have to wait for now. After all, you still have your other presents to find." She gave him one more kiss, slipping the phone into his hand as she did. "Better hurry. The rest are waiting" Before he could respond, she walked out of the room, humming a jaunty little tune as she did.

"'Are waiting'?" He asked no one in particular, "Wha?" He then looked at his phone and saw she'd pulled up the second clue.
