SPIKE'S BRIDE ANTHRO VERSION

CHAPTER 3: PONYVILLE - HANGING OUT WITH THE CMC
It was heavy rain at Ponyville near Everfree Forest as Fluttershy runs out inside the forest, searching her way out. As the lightning strikes, Fluttershy arrives at a cave and enter it. 'Oh my, how can I go back to my cottage? thinks Fluttershy. She suddenly hears a movement nearby and sees Spike in his T shirt and shorts. She starts shivering in fear.

"Please don't eat me. I'm sorry I came to your place..."

Spike picks up a towel nearby and walks towards her. Fluttershy closes her eyes tightly, hoping that the dragon didn't eat her. Spike puts the towel around her.

"There is a hot water at the back. You should take your bath or you will catch cold," said Spike.

The shy pegasus feels her body been pushed towards small room with a small tub. She looks towards the purple and green dragon that walk away. She starts pull out her white shirt, showing her F cup breast in yellow bra. She unclips her bra and put it beside her shirt. She slides down her green skirt and panties.

Meanwhile, at the Golden Oak Library, Twilight Sparkle writes on the quill about what happen. She hears a knock as she walks towards the door and opens it, showing Rainbow Dash panting heavily and in drench.

"What are you doing out there so late?" asked Twilight as she let her cyan pegasus friend in.

"Did you happen to see Fluttershy? She's not in her cottage," said Rainbow.

"No. Maybe she is with anypony place right now," said Twilight.

"I already checked AJ, Pinkie, Rarity but she's not with them," said Rainbow.

"That's weird," said Twilight.

Back to Spike's cavern, the purple dragon is making mushroom soup as Fluttershy walks out from the bathroom, wearing huge towel that covers her body.

"Do you like soup? This is the only thing I can make right now since I don't have enough bits to buy more foods. It is mushroom soup anyway," said Spike.

The yellow pegasus just nods as she sit on the rock facing the dragon. The young prince puts the bowl of soup in front of Fluttershy.

"Eat up," said Spike with a smile.

The yellow pegasus looks at the teen dragon that clean the utensil.

"Aren't you hungry?" asked Fluttershy.

"I already finish my dinner before you came in," said Spike.

"Are you going to eat me?" asked Fluttershy.

"I don't eat ponies since I was raised by ponies," said Spike.

"Really?" asked Fluttershy.

"Yes. I live in Canterlot and one of the Royal Army," said Spike.

Fluttershy looks down. Spike walks towards the room.

"Where are you going?" asked Fluttershy.

"Preparing a bed for you since you are a guest here," said Spike.

"I should be heading out right now," said Fluttershy as she stands up but the dragon holds her shoulder.

"It is still raining outside. You need to stay here," said Spike.

Fluttershy nods, swallowing her salvia.

Rainbow Dash still looks outside the window. Twilight Sparkle walks towards her rainbow haired friend, holding a cup of hot cocoa. Rainbow Dash takes the cup and drinks it slowly.

"I hope she's somewhere safe," said Rainbow.

"Me too," said Twilight.

The next day, sunlight touches Fluttershy's face as she open her eyes and stand up. She walks slowly towards the dining room and sees a plate of salad with a note on the side. She picks up the note. Already prepare your breakfast. Need to go out early for working The yellow pegasus sits in front of her meal and start eating.

Meanwhile, in Sweet Apple Acres, Spike picks up another bucket of apples and walk towards the wagon. Applejack smiles as she pat his back.

"Well done, Spike. We manage to finish everything," said Applejack.

Spike smiles.

"Well, that's what I'm here for," said Spike.

Applebloom pulls the dragon's hand.

"Come on Spike. We have an important meeting at the clubhouse and this time I don't want you to miss," said Applebloom.

Applejack just watches her sister pull the dragon to the clubhouse. She chuckles.

Fluttershy arrives at her home to greet with Rainbow Dash hugs and shaking her body.

"Where have you been? I have been looking all over you," said Rainbow.

"I was trapped in the rain. Mr Spike let me stay in his house," said Fluttershy.

"Did he do anything bad to you?" asked Rainbow.

"He slept in the living room whole night. He even made me breakfast," said Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash flies out. Fluttershy still looking at the door, her eyes still spinning.

At the CMC clubhouse, Spike looks at Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo that stand in front of the map of Ponyville.

"Okay girls, what we can do to get our Cutie Mark?" asked Applebloom.

"How about mountain climbing?" suggested Scoolatoo.

"I am still afraid of heights, Scoolatoo," said Sweetie Belle.

"How about bungee jumping?" asked Scoolatoo.

"Gardening is okay to me," said Sweetie Belle.

"Skiing?" asked Applebloom.

"You need to go to Crystal Empire for that," said Spike.

"Right," said Applebloom as she sighs.

At the Golden Oak library, Twilight Sparkle moves back and forth.

"Where is he? He should have been here 2 hours ago," said Twilight.

She looks at the clock and sighs again as she continue moving back and forth for a few hours. Then she gives up and walks towards the door.

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo stand in front of the clubhouse. Spike stand behind them, chuckling.

"I still think it is not a good idea," said Sweetie Belle.

"Don"t worry, Spike will help us," said Scoolatoo.

The purple dragon chuckles.

"For once I agree with Sweetie Belle. With what you had explained to us, there are huge chances that the accident will happen that can cause serious injury," said Spike.

The youngest Apple looks at the dragon with a smile.

"If that happen, I am pretty sure you will catch us in time," said Applebloom.

Spike sighs. 'Note to self, be careful around this troublemaker trio. Their desperate idea of getting a cutiemark can give a lot of trouble to themselves and most of all, to me' thinks Spike.

Applejack relaxes under the tree as Twilight Sparkle run towards her.

"Howdy Twi. What brings you here?" asked Applejack.

"Have you seen Spike?" asked Twilight.

"I am pretty sure he is with the CMC at the clubhouse. Why?" asked Applejack.

"He suppose to be at the library hours ago," said Twilight.

"Don't worry, Twi. Let him make interaction with another ponies. It is good for him," said Applejack.

Twilight Sparkle sighs.

Meanwhile, Spike looks at the CMC that stand high above the mountain. He sighs. 'I am so gonna get fired for this' thinks Spike. The CMC jumps, holding a para glider. The dragon looks at the teens that fly on the air. 'Why in Equestria did they want to try para gliding? And from up the mountain? That's insane' thinks Spike. A loud snap makes the purple dragon look up and see the CMC flying down towards the ground. 'Buck' thinks Spike as he spread his wings and fly towards the falling teens. He grabs Applebloom by her waist. Then he grabs Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo. The dragon lands on the ground.

"Everyone okay?" asked Spike.

The trio pants heavily.

"Yeah, we're okay. Thanks Spike," said Applebloom.

"Told you it is dangerous," said Spike.

"My heart is racing wildly," said Sweetie Belle.

"Let's head back to the clubhouse for more discussion and planning," said Applebloom.

Others nod. The purple dragon looks at the troublemaker trio that walk away as he follows them.

Applejack looks at new arrival CMC and Spike. Twilight Sparkle stands up.

"Where have you been?" asked Twilight.

"Somewhere in the mountain. The CMC is trying to get their cutiemark again," said Spike.

"What is it this time?" asked Applejack.

"Para gliding. I already warn them not to do it because it is so dangerous but they're won't listen," said Spike

The farm pony chuckles.

"They will listen after been grounded for 2 weeks," said Applejack.

The CMC pouts. Twilight Sparkle looks at the purple dragon.

"And you will be working like Tartarus tomorrow," said Twilight.

Spike sighs,

"Fine," said Spike.

The Apples look at the unicorn and the purple dragon that walk away.

"Just so you know, sis. He saved us from falling," said Applebloom.

"Good thing he was there, Applebloom. What happen if he wasn't there?" asked Applejack.

The youngest Apple looks down. The Bearer of Honesty sighs.

"Come on in. We still need to prepare for dinner," said Applejack.

She looks at Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo.

"I think you need to head back too," said Applejack.

Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo nod as they walk away towards the main road. The Apple siblings walk back towards the barn.

Meanwhile, at the cottage, Fluttershy in her pajama looks at the ceiling, still thinking on what happen at the dragon's cave early in the morning. She puts her hand on her chest. 'I didn't feel afraid anymore. Dragons are scary but I don't feel threatening when I am around him. It is like he is not like any other dragon' thinks Fluttershy as she closes her eyes.
