MLP: Living with Equestrians

Spike had made three pancakes by the time Twilight came downstairs, into the kitchen. She was wearing a blue polo with a cute purple bow, as well as a blue and purple striped skirt.

“Hey Spike. Whoa, that was fast!” Twilight said, a huge grin crossing her face when she saw the pancakes. She quickly rushed over and grabbed two, then she took her spot at the table. Spike smiled at Twilight’s childish actions, knowing how much Twilight loved pancakes.

“ Well, what can I say? Good thing I’m a good cook.” Spike said, smiling as he prepared another pancake for himself.

“Y’know, I couldn’t agree more.” a voice from behind Spike said, causing him to jump and nearly drop the pan he was holding. He whipped around to see two Equestrian women in dark black suits, looking like Equestria’s version of the Secret Service, which is basically what they are. Since Twilight is a princess, she had a solid four to five guards tasked with protecting her, and basically just acting as security for the house. The first women was the leader of the security forces, named Sunset Shimmer. She had long red and yellow hair, and had a pair of black sunglasses to make her look more serious, at least that's what Spike hypothesized, considering she was quite friendly when she wasn't in “work mode”. However, the girl next to her was a new one, not one of the many guards he had seen already. She had a purple and blue hair, and also had a horn, meaning she was a unicorn. She also seemed more laid back than Sunset too, except for one thing; she was staring right at him. Not a bad stare, more of a curious one. Still, he found it slightly off putting.

“Y’know, there’s this thing on Earth. It’s called knocking, bacon hair. Try it some time, will ya? You keep giving me heart attacks when you pop up like that.” Spike said, shooting Sunset a playful headshake of disappointment while Twilight and the other guard attempted to keep from laughing from him calling her ‘bacon hair’. Sunset’s face heated up, but she quickly disguised her embarrassment with her, “I’m the boss here”, attitude.

“Call me ‘bacon hair’ again, and I’ll break your arm for disrespecting an Equestrian agent, Mr. Drake” the 22 year-old agent said, knowing that Spike would get she was joking...mostly. Spike rolled his eyes, but handed her a plate with a pancake nonetheless.

“Alright, fine. By the way, what's the new girl's name?” Spike asked, gesturing to the new guard, who seemed to jump slightly when she was referred to.

“Oh! I’m Starlight Glimmer, I just got transferred to Earth! Sunset here was nice enough to get me a job here while my visa was being prepared!” she said excitedly, drawing a grin from Spike, and a muttered ,“No prob.”, from Sunset, who was still blushing.

“Well, not that I have much of a say in it, but you’re always welcomed here, Starlight!” Spike said happily, handing her a hot coco he had set aside in case anyone else wanted one. The 21 year-old gave him a kind smile, and gratefully took the hot chocolate from him, thanking him for being so kind. The conversation lasted a bit longer, but Spike started to notice something. Every now and again, Twilight would glance at him and Starlight and look...upset? She didn’t look mad with him, more Starlight. At first, Spike was confused, but than he got it, or at least he thought he did; She wanted to get back on schedule!. He finished up his conversation with Starlight, and went over to Twilight, who glanced up at in surprise.

“Sorry for taking so long Twi. Any plans for today?” he asked, shooting his friend a smile. Twilight’s eyes lit up, and she pulled out a list of multiple tasks for them to do.

“Of course, Spike! I have an entire day planned for us! We don’t have anytime to waste! To the library!” Twilight stands up at the table and takes a dramatic stance.

“...Twilight, you know that we have a library, right?” Spike deadpanned. Twilight seemed to process this, and waves her hand dismissively.

“Spike, please. There’s only so much knowledge one library can yield. Sunset! Hold down the fort!” Twilight shouted to her guard.

“K, keep her safe out there Spike, I’ll break your arm if you don’t.” Sunset said, not raising her gaze from her phone. Twilight ran to the door, psyched to be going to a new library, will Spike shouted goodbyes to Sunset and Starlight. “We’ll be back by 3:00. No parties while we’re gone, ok?” Spike jokes humorously. Sunset gave him a middle finger, while Starlight said they'd be sure to behave.

As Spike and Twilight left for the library, Sunset glanced at her fellow guard. “You like him, don’t you?” she asked, causing Starlight to blush slightly.

“W-what?” Starlight asked, desperately trying to avoid her friend’s smirk.

“Spike, the human. You like him, don’t you?” Sunset asked again. Starlight thought for a moment, than she nodded. Sunset stood up and walked over to her friend, and patted her on the shoulder.

“Well, Star...may the best girl win~.” Sunset said, a full blown smirk on her face due to her friend’s confused expression. “What? You didn’t really think you’re the only one who liked him, right?” Sunset asked, genuinely surprised at her friends offended look.

“Not particularly. Still, like you said; may the best girl win.” Starlight agreed, tapping her friend’s shoulder and walking away, before turning around “Oh, and Sunset?”. Sunset looked at Starlight, who had a very determined look in her eye. “I do intend to win.”
