MLP: Living with Equestrians

By the time Spike had gotten home, it was 11pm. Sunset had taken Pinkie Pie to crash at her house for the night, leaving Spike to enter the house alone. He opened the door in stepped in, not getting any initial sign that antone was awake. Spike felt his stomach rumble, and realized he hadn’t eaten since breakfast, so he went to the kitchen to grab a snack. He entered the kitchen to see Twilight and Starlight sitting at the kitchen table, both sound asleep. He smiled at the pair, both looking so peaceful. He quietly grabbed a sandwich from the fridge, and then threw two blankets over Twilight and Starlight before heading upstairs to go to sleep. After he ate his sandwich and layed down, he reflected over the day, and couldn't help but wonder what tomorrow had in store for him.

……

Spike sat up in his bed, rubbing his eyes tiredly. He got up, changed into new clothes, and brushed his teeth. His hand still ached from having being cut by glass saving Pinkie Pie, but it subsided a bit when he took some painkillers. He made his way downstairs, and saw that neither Twilight nor Starlight had moved from their spots last night. He grinned, and walked over to Twilight, gently tapping her head. “Hey, Twilight. Time to get up.” he said softly, not wanting to startle her. She lifted her head,and looked at him for a few moments.

“...Spike?” she asked, her eyes widening as she realized who was in front of her. Before he could answer, he was wrapped into a tight hug by his friend, who shouted with joy. “Oh Spike! We were so worried about you!” she cried out, causing Starlight to jerk awake.

“Wh-what happened? What’s going on?” Starlight mumbled before seeing Spike in a tight hug from Twilight. Starlight than squealed in excitement, and joined the hug. “Spike! Thank Celestia you’re ok!” The two girls were thrilled to see their human friend was ok, but Spike was having mixed feelings. On one hand, the girls were hugging him, and it was nice to see how much they cared. On the other hand, he was squashed between their breasts and was starting to lose air. He gently pushed the girls back, smiling despite the bright red blush on his face.

“It’s ok, guy’s. I’m fine! I’m sure Sunset’s already informed you about what happened, right Starlight?” Spike asked, hoping that Sunest had got the message through. He noticed the smirk that crossed Starlight’s face.

“Oh yeah, I got her message. I gotta say, Spike, I didn’t think that you’d be such a womanizer.” she said, teasing the now beat read human. Spike could feel Twilight’s withering glare on him.

“Spike? What does she mean, “womanizer”?” she asked, her eyes looking darker than they had any right to.

Spike proceeded to explain the events of the day before to Twilight and Starlight. While Twilight looked mad at first, she looked more surprised by the end, and even a little impressed when he mentioned how he saved Pinkie. “Anyhow, Pinkie will be living with us from now on, are you alright with that, Twilight?” he asked, the thought that she might be mad at him finally dawning on him. Twilight shook her head, giving Spike a reassuring smile.

“That’s just fine, Spike. It’s a good thing you finally have someone else to hang out with besides me or Sunset, not to mention there’s around 25 rooms in this house,I’m sure Pinkie won’t cause any trouble.” she said. Spike smiled, and gave Twilight a mock-surprised gasp.

“Twilight! You’re forgetting someone! I don’t just have you, Sunset, and Pinkie!” he said, tilting his head pointedly to Starlight, who was now blushing.

“Aw, Spike! I’m glad you consider me a friend.” Starlight said gleefully, wrapping the human in yet another hug. Spike smile, and returned the hug, not seeing Starlight’s face heat up at the compassionate gesture.

“Of course, no problem, Star!” Spike said happily. Spike released Starlight, who quickly turned away to hide her bright red face. A few minutes later, Starlight got a text from Sunset, who was helping Pinkie pack up her things, and they would be home by noon. Starlight told Twilight and Spike this new, and Spike turned to Twilight.

“So, any plans for today, Twilight?” he asked. Twilight’s eyes lit up, and an evil smile crossed her face.

“I know exactly what we can do today.” she said.

……

“NEW BOOKS!” Twilight shouted with excitement, running around the bookstore in an excited frenzy, to the mild dismay of Spike and Starlight. Spike didn't know what he had been expecting, but this wasn't a surprise. Twilight loved the bookstore, and Starlight had no problem taking the two there for the bookstore’s weekly sale, during which Twilight looked for all the books she would carry to buy.

“Sooooo, you two do this often?” Starlight questioned, watching Twilight dart between aisles and grabbing what she liked. Spike shrugged, shooting Starlight a grin.

“Yup. Twilight loves her books, so every week we come here. It’s pretty great to see her act so...hm?” Spike stopped mid sentence noticing a girl watching him from next to one of the checkout counters. More specifically, an Equestrian girl. She had long rainbow hair that went down her back, and her eyes were a dark red/purple. She wore a blue sports jacket, a white t-shirt with a cloud shooting out a rainbow lightning bolt, and pink and white skirt. Spike began to sweat as he felt her eyes run up and down him, and was actually surprised when she started to walk towards them.

“Excuse me, are you Spike Drake?” she asked, a strange look on her face. Before Spike would answer, Starlight moved herself between him and the new girl, a look of concern and defensiveness crossing her face.

“Depends. Who are you, exactly?” Starlight said, a surprising amount of authority coming from her voice. However, this did not appear to deter the new girl, as she stepped forward, a small smile on her face.

“My name is Rainbow Dash, and I want to thank Spike for saving my life.”

A moment later, Twilight rushed up to the three, using magic to hold up a small mountain of books. “Ok, I’ve found everything I was looking for, ready to---” Twilight stopped talking as she noticed the heavy tension between the three, not too mention the looks of surprise that they gave her. “Um, bad time?”
