Cadance's Lovely Potion Of Truth

Cadance sat on her throne chair doing a paperwork while using her hoof to play with her mane.

Suddenly, Princess Celestia walked into the throne room. She also had by the looks of it, a dragon. The dragon was a foot taller than Celestia, he had pale purple and green scales, green spikes and emerald green eyes. He was also wearing a purple vest with a white button up shirt underneath it.

Cadance quickly got off her chair and walked towards the two “Celestia, it's so good to see you.” She looked at Spike “And who is this?”

Celestia smiled and nudged Spike “Come on, sweetie. Introduce yourself.”

Spike straightened himself and cleared his throat “I'm Spike Draco, but you can just call me Spike.” He reached his claw out “It's a pleasure to meet you.”

Cadance's ears perked up and she shook Spike's claw “So you're the famous Spike I've been hearing about. It's so nice to finally meet you.”

Spike smiled “So my mother has been talking about me, is it good stuff?”

Celestia rolled her eyes “Of course it is. I always say good stuff about you.” She giggled.

Cadance giggled “I've always wanted to meet you. Where have you been all these years? Celestia never told us.”

Spike looked at Celestia with a frown “I thought you told them already where I've been?”

Celestia smiled nervously “I thought I'd let you explain to them what you do when you get back home.”

Spike sighed “Okay. I've traveling a bit with an assistant three years ago to find out about a new species that were thought to have died out. This certain species are in form of a pony but with different DNA, all I know so far is that their appearance is slightly different-” He stopped mid sentence “How about we grab some tea and somewhere to sit, I'll explain everything from there.”

The two alicorns nodded before Cadance led them to the royal garden there a small table with four chairs stood under a few trees.

Cadance and Celestia sat down at the table and teleported in a teapot with three tea cups and a plate of raspberry and coconut slices.

Spike sat down with them and grabbed a slice “Their appearance is slightly different. They have a reptile tail and scales on their body in shape of markings.” He took a bite out of his slice as the two sipped their tea. “And like dragons, they can breathe fire. They're very fascinating creatures.”

Cadance leaned in closer, obviously interested in this discovery. “That's so amazing, anymore information to tell?”

Spike finished his slice and poured himself a cup of tea “They can grow limbs that are of a extremely rare crystal that is very flexible. These limbs are mostly used as weapons, another thing about these crystals is that they're made out of blood.”

Spike continued talking about the species while Cadance paid attention, enjoying it very well. She also paid attention to his movement while speaking, the excitement in his movement made her feel something for him. She knew it wasn't love at all, she admired him.

After many minutes of talking, Spike finally finished “And that's about it. That's all I know so far about these species.”

Celestia finished her tea “That's really something, I hope you find out more about them.”

Spike smiled “Thank you, I hope so too. I also hope to find a living one soon.” He sat back “But enough about them, tell me more about yourself, Cadance.”

Cadance quickly snapped out of her trance and sat back “Oh um, well. Like you, I was raised by Celestia and was even taught by her.”

Celestia got off her chair “Well I better head off, will you be coming home tonight?”

Spike nodded “Of course I will, oh! Tell Raven that I'll be home soon, I need to thank her for traveling with me.”

Celestia nodded “I will.” She teleported out of the room, leaving the two alone.

Cadance went onto explaining herself a bit and Spike listened with a smile.

After telling him about herself, she leaned in close to him “So tell me, what are your other interest.”

Spike crossed his arms “Well I do love collecting shiny things, reading books, mostly comic books, cooking and sometimes cleaning.” He raised a brow “Now it's my turn to ask.”

Before Cadance could say anything, a maid ran over to her and said that she's needed.

Cadance frowned and got out of her chair “Sorry Spike, I'm needed. Another time?”

Spike got out of his chair “Another time, see you later.” He waved at her as he walked off.

Cadance smiled as followed the maid back inside the castle and walked into the throne room.

She frowned as she saw Chrysalis sitting on her throne chair. “Chrysalis, why are you here?”

Chrysalis jumped off the chair and walked over to her “Just came to say hi.” She smiled.

Cadance sighed in annoyance “Let me guess. You want another attempt to marry me?” She cocked a brow. “Because if it is, the answer is still no.”

Chrysalis chuckled nervously “Well it was worth a shot.” She wrapped an arm around her “But I also came here for another reason.” She said with a frown.

Cadance looked at her confused “What is it exactly?” She said as she removed Chrysalis’s arm off of her.

Chrysalis got out a small box “I got that thing you wanted.” She gave her the box “Now I'll be going, I got other business to attend to.” She walked off.

Cadance smiled “Thank you, Chrysalis! I own you one and it won't involve marriage!” She looked at the box and walked out of throne room. “I've always wanted this!” She walked all the way to her room and walked inside before closing the door behind her.

She opened the box and got out a small bottle filled with a clear sparkling liquid. “Liquid of lovely truth. A potion that shows who you truly love just by drinking it.” She put the bottle back in the box and put it safely under her in her drawer. “Gotta keep it safe.”

She looked over at her desk that had a pile of unfinished work and groaned “I already miss chatting with Spike.” She said while walking over to her desk before beginning her paperwork.

After hours of working and night slowly came around, Cadance ate dinner and got ready for bed.

She laid on her bed and stared out the window looking at the night sky. She couldn't help but think of nothing but Spike, she blushed slightly and proceeded to try and sleep, trying her best to get him out of her head. After what seemed like forever, she finally fell asleep.
