You've Come To The Right Neighborhood

"Are..you all right?" Twilight asked once Spike got his nose under control once again. "I'm really sorry! I didn't know you weren't accustomed to..."

"It's ok." he said, his voice muffled slightly due to pinching his nose. "I-it's a cultural thing. Not one I thought I've ever encounter." he chuckled weakly. "But there you go."

"Well, if you're fine with it-OH! I nearly forgot, we need to let Celestia know about you!" Twilight looked around her for a moment and huffed in frustration. "Darn it, I KNEW I should've brought my bookbag! Now I have to go back to town for something to write on."

"Um, I have a notepad and pen in my satchel if you're wanting to send a note or something." Spike wasn't too sure why she needed to write something, but he figured he'd lend a hand. "It should be near the foot of Fluttershy's bed."

"I'll get it." the pegasus in question spoke up. "You relax and focus on healing." with that, she trotted off back inside.

It took a good bit of his willpower not to stare at her backside as she did. 'Keep it together, man. This is neither the time or place to oogle. Hell, I'm still due for a freakout! I'm an alien on a planet with small, anthro pony girls! Granted, they are pretty damn cute, but still!' Fortunately for him, his attention was grabbed by the three smallest mares; the gamboge pegasus with cerise mane, a light grey unicorn with a grey rose and mulberry mane, and a light greyish olive earth pony with an amaranth mane as they almost bounded up to him.

"Hi!" They chirped in unison.

"I'm Sweetie Belle!" the unicorn squeaked, her voice cracking a little, wearing boots similar to Rarity's, but her's just reached her knees and were a pale lavender color, plus she had a noticeable charm bracelet on. The way she was bouncing on her heels made that hard to not note that she was considerably curvaceous with a nearly d-cup bust and hips that nearly screamed to be watched as she moved.

The Earth Pony was next. Like Applejack, she had on cowboy boots, but with a large red bow in her mane instead of a bandanna. It was easy to see that while Sweetie was mainly soft curves, she was more on the muscular side. That wasn't to say she didn't have a figure he could admire. She was also almost on par with Sweetie at a large C-cup and hips that flared to an impressive pair of legs. "Ah'm Apple Bloom!" she announced proudly, with the same twang as Applejack.

'Huh, they related?' he asked himself as he looked over to see the pegasus' wings buzzing excitedly. Wearing sneakers and what looked like those punk rock bracelets made from chain link. She had a more petite build than her friends though with still visible curves, and a large A-cup bust. A somewhat athletic build seemed to say she was something of a sports fan, similar to Rainbow. "And I'm Scootaloo!"

"And we're the CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!" They yelled in unison, with enough force to make Spike stagger in an an attempt to stay on his feet.

"I-I see...!" Getting his balance back, he saw they had tattoos as well, though theirs were somewhat identical; a pink, red and purple shield with a music note in a star for Sweetie, heart in an apple for Apple Bloom, and feather in a lightening bolt for Scootaloo. 'Must be pretty close if they got matching ones.

"So where ya from? Like mah sister said, we ain't never seen a fella like you 'round Ponyville!" Apple Bloom asked, confirming Spike's musing on her and Applejack. "Appleoosa, either!"

"Ooh, are you from Minotaur country?" Sweetie asked, looking up at him.

"Minotaur??" Scootaloo gave her friend an incredulous look. "Come on, Sweetie, does he even look like one? He doesn't even have horns!"

"Well, what about you thinking he'd be a Diamond Dog!?" came the retort.

"He could've been, you never know." Scootaloo crossed her arms.

"All right, girls, calm down." Twilight spoke up. "We may not know what he is exactly, but we know what he isn't, at least" her attention shifted back to Spike. "Given what Fluttershy told us, he didn't plan to show up in Equestria, either."

"Still trying to figure that out." he replied, wincing a bit as he stretched. "All I remember is finding some old relic in a dilapidated farmhouse, then tumbling down a hill. Next thing, I'm in a bed with Fluttershy standing there."

"Hm...I wish I had some answers, but maybe it's better if you tell the whole story once we get you to Celestia and Luna."

Spike looked at her. Fluttershy had mentioned those two, how they were princesses along with Twilight. "Me...? Going to see more princesses? I'm still getting accustomed to being in front of just one...and that's a sentence I never thought I'd say."

"Don't you have princesses where you're from?" Pinkie asked, giving him a questioning look that, if he was honest with himself, was pretty damn adorable.

"Kind of." Spike shrugged. "I mean, there's a few around, but they tend to keep to themselves as far as I know. Had a classmate who thought she was supposed to be treated like one, but that's probably a different story."

"I found it!" Fluttershy called out, coming back outside with his spare notepad and a pen. "Sorry about how long it took. I caught Angel Bunny trying to throw it out and had to give him a scolding." she handed the items to Twilight, who quickly began to write out a note.

As this was going on, Spike noticed the purple and green dragoness step up. She was as naked as the ponies, except she was barefoot, and wearing a necklace similar to Rarity's, though her's was silver with a heart-shaped diamond. He had to admit she was attractive as well; a slender but still curvy build, with a large C-cup bust and hips that her tail accentuated.

"Hey." He spoke up

"Hi..." Before she could say anything else, Rarity pounced her with a mischievous look on her face.

"And this is my sexy little Barby-Warby!" The marshmallow-tinted mare stated, wrapping her arms around 'Barby-Warby' from behind and giving both her breasts a firm squeeze.

As she moaned a little, Spike couldn't help but notice her nipples, currently peeking out between Rarity's fingers, were colored a few shades darker than the green scales over her breasts.

"R-Rarity...! We just met him!"

"I don't see him objecting." Rarity purred, giving her nipple a pinch before turning her attention to him "Oh, and she's Twilight's assistant"

"R-right..." Spike managed to get out, his face heating up. 'Dontpopabonerdontpopabonerdontpopaboner!'

'Y-Yes...now if you're done, I need Barb to send this message to Celestia." A blushing twilight added, holding out a folded sheet of paper.

Barb gave the paper an apprehensive look before taking it. "Well.....here goes."

"Whoa!" Spike jumped back when she exhaled a plume of green flame that consumed the sheet. However, instead of wafting away, the smoke flew off in the direction of the big palace on the mountainside. "Th-that was fire! You can breath fire...! Why did you...??"

"Egghead and Princess Celestia like to use Barb's fire to send messages back and forth." Rainbow replied, hovering near his shoulder. "Don't ask me how; tried once and she lost me at 'to start with'"

"Ok..." He watched the smoke finally drift out of view. "That's actually gonna deliver the letter to this Princess Celestia?"

"Yep." Barb replied once Rarity stopped groping her. " It's an enchantment Celestia gave me in case Twi couldn't inform her of something in person, especially after Twi had a panic attack the last time she used a regular messenger and the message got delivered to the wrong pony."

"Barb, I did NOT have a 'panic attack'!" Twilight retorted, "I...just got a little antsy."

"Yeah, if antsy means needing a paper bag to breath into." Barb giggled at Twilight's pout.

'Heh, the princess is kinda cute when she does that.' Spike thought before something else came to mind. "So, how long does it normally take for her to respond?"

"Kinda depends on if she's in the middle of somethin'." Applejack answered him, "Might be anywhere from a few minutes to a couple hours."

Suddenly Barb coughed out a plume of flame. A plume that transformed into a rolled up scroll.

"Or about that long." Pinkie added as the others watched Twilight open it. "What'd she say?"

Dear Princess Twilight,

Given what info of you were able to relay from Fluttershy, a well as what you've personally learned about this newcomer, I have to admit that this is a most unexpected event.

Therefore, if he has recovered enough from his injuries, I suggest you bring him to Canterlont promptly. To ascertain how he came to arrive in Equestria and possibly where he is from as well.

Sincerely, Princess Celestia
