MLP: Living with Equestrians

Spike sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He and Twilight had been at the library for nearly four hours, and Twilight was still reading books. She had basically learned about Earthen conflict from the Revolutionary War the 9/11 attacks. She had been especially shocked about the latter, not understanding how evil humanity could be. "But Spike, so many people were killed in those attacks! Why would anyone ever do that?” she asked, quite distressed by the knowledge she had gained. Spike shrugged.

“I don’t know what to tell you, Twi. Some humans are just evil, and they just want to watch the world burn.” he said, grabbing a few books that he had seen Twilight put aside for later.

"But...what about you, Spike?! You’re not evil, not bad! Your one of the best people I’ve ever met! You could never be evil!” Twilight declared definitively, like she was defending a point still. Spike responded while checking out Twilight’s books, and a comic he had picked up for himself.

“I appreciate it, Twi, but most humans aren’t like me. That’s really all there is to it. Let’s get going.”

The two exited the library, only to see a hoard of people outside. Somehow, the press had heard that Twilight was at the library, and since she is a princess from another world, the press were obsessed with her. “C’mon, this way!” Spike shouted, grabbing Twilight’s hand and started to run away from the crowd. The crowd actually tried to follow them, shouting questions and taking pictures. However, once they had gotten far enough ahead that they were out of sight, they took a right down an ally, and kept running when they came out the other side.

After a minute or two more of running, the two stopped at a bench near the beach. “W-wow, we ran all the way to the beach! Nice work, Spike!” Twilight said, turning to see her friend wheezing and panting.

“I...need to get...back to the gym!” Spike said through heavy breathing, sitting on the bench. Twilight sat next to him, and the two enjoyed the setting sun. After composing himself, Spike turned to Twilight, noticing her smile. She looked beautiful in the sunset, waves crashing distantly, and the subtle creaking wood from...wait a second.

“Um, Twi? Do you know where we are?” Spike asked, suddenly feeling quite nervous. Twilight looked around, looking puzzled. “Well, the high school is over there, and we’re near the bakery, soooo… I think this is Buzz Beach!” she said. Spike realizes why he felt nervous; Buzz Beach was where older couples from the high school would go to hang out and get…“frisky”. He noticed that Twilight was now looking at him, slightly concerned.

“Spike, are you alright?” she asked. “You look uncomfortable.” Spike didn’t even get to respond as a shrill moan emanated from a shack only a good 20 feet away from them, causing them both to blush. Twilight had learned enough about human’s reproductive nature to know what the sound was, (he was not letting her go anywhere near the internet until he wiped every browser history in the house). Spike quickly stood up, and grabbed Twilight’s hand.

“OK! WE SHOULD GET BACK NOW!” Spike said, a bit to loudly. Twilight didn’t protest however, and the two began to make their way back to their home. About halfway there, Spike turned to Twilight and smiled. “ So, did we have a good day, Twi?” he asked. Twilight smiled back at her friends, and nodded.

“Yeah, Spike. Today was a good d-” She tried to say, before ducking as a can was thrown at her. The pair turned to the threat, only to see a drunk man and his buddies.

“GET OUTTA HERE, YA WINGED FREAK! WE DON’T WANT YER KIND ROUND HERE!” he yelled, stumbling towards them at a slow shamble. Spike felt a dark anger well up inside him, but sighed, and pushed Twilight away from the men.

“C’mon, Twi. Ignore those bozos.” he said, trying to keep his voice from betraying the anger he was feeling. Twilight nodded, brushing away the comments. She had gotten use to the occasional petty insult, and kept moving. And then that bastard had to open his mouth again.

“You’re just as bad as her, sick, green haired, monster fucker!” the drunk man spat at the pair. This time...Spike stopped in his tracks.

“S-spike? Are you alright?” Twilight asked, but he had already turned around and was calmly walking towards the drunk man and his two friends, who were laughing.

“Aw, what? Did I hurt your--ARH!” the drunk man tried to taunt, only too have a fist fly into his jaw. His friends watched in surprise as Spike then knead the man in the stomach, and kicked him into his friends arms.

“If he says shit again, I’ll do worse to all three of you. Capiche?” Spike asked, rage flaring in his voice. The men nodded frantically, and pulled their drunk buddy off to safety. Spike returned to twilight who had a shocked look on her face, and looked baffled when he grabbed her hand they resumed walking.

“Spike, why did you do that?! You could get in trouble!” Twilight finally asked, and when she looked at Spike, she saw anger in his eyes, but not directed at her.

“Twilight, they had no right to say that about you. You are smart, funny, and overall great, and I just wished others saw that.” Spike said, a small smile crossing his face. “You’re a good friend, Twi. I want to keep you safe.” Twilight felt her heart beat a bit faster at the way he said this, and the passion in his eyes.

“That’s cute and all, but that is kinda our job.” a voice next to them spoke up. They turned to see Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer in a car next to them, in casual clothes.

“Need a lift? You to have been walking for a while.” Starlight asked, opening the doors for them.

“Yeah, thanks guys...wait a second, how did you know where we were?” Twilight asked.

“Eh, we’ve been watching since you left the library. The human government allowed us to put cameras up all around the town in case we need to find an Equestrian fast. By the way...thanks for protecting Twilight, Spike.” Sunset muttered as she gave him a small smile.

“Anytime, Sunset. Anytime.” Spike said, allowing himself to rest as he and Twilight were driven back home. As he drifted of, he felt Twilight grab his hand.

“You talk a lot about how most humans are pretty bad, Spike.” she said, her eyes meeting his. “Well...I think you’re pretty great.”

……

Meanwhile, a pink Equestrian walked up to a man at a auto parts shop. “Oh, hello there! Is there something you need, ma’am?” the man asked, curious of why an Equestrian needed car help.

“Hiya! I was just wondering; is it safe for a bus to have flashing lights, a disco ball, minibar, and have enough room for 30 plus people?” the girl asked cheerfully, faced with man’s shocked face.

“Um...I guess?” he said attentively.

“GREAT! Time to get to work than!” the girl yelled, running around the corner and pulling out in a fully stocked disco bus. “Time to get this party started!” she cried as she drove off, leaving a very confused man on the street.
