Spike's First Date

After inserting their quarters into the Street Fighter III arcade machine, Ember and Rainbow Dash started choosing their characters. When they finished selecting, they immediately went at each other's throats. Everybody was cheering for Ember while others were rooting for Rainbow Dash. Spike and Fluttershy, on the other hand, spoke with each other while Ember and Rainbow Dash were clashing against each other.

"So what're you and Dash doing here? It's unlike you to go to a noisy place like this." Spike asked.

"Uh... Rainbow Dash told me that she needed company and she wanted to use me as practice." Fluttershy said.

"Why would she need company?"

"No reason! Just felt that she was lonely, I guess. What about you? Why are you with Ember?"

"Because I would become her practice dummy if I refused to date her."

"Oh my..." Fluttershy said, covering her mouth.

"Nah. It's not really that bad when you get to know her. If anything, she's pretty cool."

"Really? More cooler than Rainbow Dash?"

After Spike processed what to say, he said,

"Don't tell Rainbow Dash."

"Your secret's safe with me." Fluttershy said as she giggled.

Spike and Fluttershy turned towards the center of the crowd and watched Rainbow Dash and Ember.

"I wonder who's winning right now?" Fluttershy asked, trying to get a good look.

"No clue. It's so crowded you'd think there would be a concert here." Spike said, trying to get through the crowd.

Just then, they heard Rainbow Dash screaming. Everybody began jeering after seeing what happened. After Rainbow Dash finished screaming, she shouted,

"I'm still in the game, She-Hulk!"

"Not for long, David Bowie!" Ember shouted back.

Spike and Fluttershy looked at each other in shock when they witnessed the aftermath of the first match.

"Wow..." Spike said in amazement.

"Yup..." Fluttershy said in agreement.

In the next few moments, Ember walloped away at Rainbow Dash in Street Fighter. The latter won a couple matches here and there, but the former was mostly toying with her. In the the next ten minutes, the game was over and Rainbow Dash was slammed with a staggering, humiliating loss. She fell to her knees and screamed. Ember simply chuckled at her expense.

"Looks like I'm gonna be your toy for the year." Rainbow Dash said in a tearful expression.

"Don't worry. The guys won't mess with you." Ember said.

Rainbow Dash felt relieved to hear her say that, but then Ember said,

"But the girls are far worse than the guys. I'm sure you've seen our tournaments."

Just then, Rainbow Dash recalled the few times that she watched Ember's exhibitions and painfully cringed at what going to happen to her in the future.

"I'll see you at practice, Dashie~. Spike?" Ember said in a playful manner as she looked at Spike.

Spike followed suit with her and Ember said,

"Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy nodded and proceeded to help Rainbow Dash up off the ground before leaving. Spike and Ember proceeded to play some more games before leaving the arcade. After hopping back in the car, they proceed to drive around the city a little bit. They looked at a few sights and some landmarks while chatting about various amounts of subjects. Everything seemed all fine and dandy for them. Sometime later during the night, Ember asked,

"Want me to show you someplace cool?"

Being in a great mood since Ember was treating him to all this, Spike replied,

"Let's go."

They immediately drove off and headed for the hills. Spike had no idea why, but he knew it had to be good. He has been having such a good time that he could barely even remember why he was angry in the first place. Every feeling that was emitting from within urged him to ask her if he could be her boyfriend, but the thing that is holding him back is what he would be experiencing at school if any rumors were spread. He most certainly wouldn't hear the end of it if his friends found out he was in a relationship with Ember. But nevertheless, this was their night and Spike is going to enjoy it to the fullest.

One hour later, they finally made it up the hill. It was dark and isolated, nobody was around, and they had the entire evening to themselves without any disturbances.

"Wanna see the view?" Ember asked.

"Would I ever?" Spike said, filled with enthusiasm.

They both got out of the car and saw the view. It was breathtaking and it could never have been anymore beautiful than it is now. Spike could not find any words to describe the joy he was feeling as he looked at the wide view of the city. Just then, he felt Ember wrap her arms around him as she looked at the view with him. He felt the ample feeling of her breasts as she held onto him. He was blushing from the intense pressure he was starting to feel.

"This wasn't the only thing that I was planning to show you." Ember said.

"Huh?" Spike asked, feeling confused.

"Come back in the car. I have something to show you."

"Okay..."

Spike followed her and they went back into the car. He was nervous enough when this was his first date, but now he became even more anxious than ever to see what they were going to do next. They were back in the car. Spike had no idea what he would be in for. Would he have his first kiss? Would he lose his virginity? Questions were plaguing his mind as to what would happen next. Just then, he saw Ember reach into the backseat. He leaned a little closer to see what it was. Just then, he was surprised to see what it was.

"What?!" Spike asked, now completely shocked.

Ember had what appeared to be a joint.

"What? It's just a harmless little bud." Ember said, a tad annoyed.

"Harmless? That thing has this rep for putting people in some sort of trance. I've never tried it myself, but it can't be good!"

"Don't be a baby. Just try it. You'll thank me." Ember said, holding it closer to his mouth.

"No! I don't want to! I'll get in trouble! And in military school...!" Spike said, shuddering.

"It won't kill you. Just give it a shot."

"No! Take me home!"

"Why?"

"Because I just found out that my date is a pothead! That's what!"

"Hey. This pothead helped you pay for the pizza and for the arcade! Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Spike had no idea what to say now. It was bad enough that he was blackmailed by her, but now he found out that she was into marijuana.

"Forget it. Just take me home." Spike said.

"Oh? Are you giving me orders now?" Ember asked in an angry manner.

"I don't wanna hear it, Ember! Just take me home!"

"Why do you wanna go home? Hours ago, you were happy that you got to be with me. Now you hate my guts?! How about you let me explain myself?"

"I..."

Ember dropped the usual cool facade that she had and breathed. Then she said,

"Please. Just hear me out. Then we can go home. You don't even have to speak to me again. But you have to swear that you never bring this up to anybody. Not even your friends."

After hearing her offer, Spike said,

"Okay. You have my word that this won't get out. Now please tell me why you have the drug."

Ember cleared her breath as she prepared herself to speak about her life.
