A Smoldering Start, Endless Ember
When the plot demands it, it will be answered

(The title has two meanings!) Clop not included in this chapter.

Spike made his way through the castle, trying to keep everything neat and tidy as he prepared for Ember’s arrival. The excited little drake made mental notes on the keeping certain parts of the castle clean for Ember. The restroom, the guest room, and a clean, polished set of rubies,Ember’s personal favorite, ready as well as have any accommodations she may need ready. Spending the rest of the afternoon up until evening cleaning, his heart swelled and thumbed with excitement at Ember’s arrival.

As he moved to and fro in the castle, he briefly noticed as Twilight and Starlight staring at him in confusion.

“I-Is he alright?” Starlight asked.

Twilight shrugged. “Not sure but he is keeping everything clean, so must be either he did something wrong and is trying to make up for it, or somepony is coming over.”

He managed to hear and smiled up at them with glee.

“Yeah, Lord Ember is coming over tomorrow!”

Both unicorns blinked in confusion. “Why?” asked Twilight.

It took him a moment to realize that he had been asked why and the realization that he was to join Ember in part coitous, seemed a bit embarrassing at the moment.

“Oh… uh… she decided to come visit and see… how Smolder and the school is going, yeah!” His lie was met with unsure looks by both unicorns, but seemed to work well.

“Well… alright, but why now?”

“Yeah, why all of a sudden? It’s not like she has been interested in pony stuff before.” Added Starlight.

Spike tried to answer but his stuttering words didn’t come through. Luckily a yawn escaped Twilight and she rubbed her eyes.

“Well, whatever the reason is, I’m glad your trying to at least clean up the castle for it. Ember coming tomorrow might be a good way of her learning how the school works. Maybe other dragons may want to join the school program too.”

“Yeah, maybe we can… give her lessons and ideas on how to spread friendship in the dragon lands.” Continued Starlight. Both unicorns were seemed at odd with the dragon but both headed off to bed. “Goodnight, Spike!”

“Night girls!”

“Don’t stay up to late!” Called out Twilight as she disappeared with Starlight in the hallways.
“I won’t!” Once he heard the soft clicking of their doors echo of the hall, he set upon finishing his work.
He didn’t take long as he made sure that everything was perfect and clean. He also set up trays of gems for Ember in almost various part of the castle, just in case, but also he didn’t want Twilight finding her eating the castle walls again. He set each tray with the best of his personal hoard, including his favorite rubies and polished them for perfect cleaning. With only an hour left until his bedtime, Spike pushed himself to keep the castle clean and made everything perfect for the arrival of Ember. However, the list included hiding away most of his… foalish like behavior and toys in case.

Smolder had watched silently in the shadows as Spike did all this for Ember. It still tugged at her heart that he so easily moved on from her. Yet, she was even more disappointed with herself for allowing a prize like him to leave her. Most males would leave the dragoness they were with after the mating season. Those that stayed were the ones worth keeping and sharing your heart with. She believed that Spike would have definitely stayed with any dragoness he was with. Not just because he had to, but because it was in his character. It was what made him worthy of being a Dragon Lord, An Elder… or even a Father. He was what many sought for, yet never looked.

She also had the thought that Ember might not keep him as a permanent mate. Perhaps a concubine, or a consort or a quick fling. Yeah, she may only want him because he would treat her right during the mating season and then let him leave like most males would.

Right?

She sighed mentally and watched as he finished up, before he yawned and called it a night. He disappeared in the hallways that lead to his room. Smolder herself returned to her room, where she laid in bed with restless sleep.

Morning had arrived quickly and Spike found himself in a chipper mood with an beaming radiance around him that would make Pinkie jealous. He woke up early and jumped straight out of bed, heading towards the kitchen. He really wasn’t sure when Ember would arrive but he still wanted to make her breakfast. Something special and something only a dragon would love to eat.

Not wasting any time, the young dragon set out and began making a clattering as he zipped through the kitchen trying to create a nice breakfast. His added wings allowed him to move quickly and around the kitchen that took more time than before if he had just walked or ran. With a burner set, a set of bowls laid out and an assortment of food laid out, Spike continued with rigorous vigor and unlimited imagination.

An hour had passed for Spike, his cooking had created quite a ruckus and not something that was ignored. Starlight and Twilight came in the kitchen, a bit groggy but alert of Spike’s activities. Before any of them could really voice their annoyance, Spike bid them, “Good morning, girls!” He then quickly flew to them with two cups of coffee, steaming to the brim with hot liquids. “Here’s coffee! Breakfast is almost ready!”

With that he flew back to prepare them their food. Their annoyance was quickly forgotten and they both shrugged at one another at that, making their way to the table and waiting for their food. Spike came in a hot minute later with two plates of omelets and toast for the girls. “Enjoy!” He then went back to finishing his own meals for himself and Ember.

The girls conversed to themselves at the table, while Spike focused on his meals. Meanwhile, Smolder whom had a restless sleep, came in shyly to the kitchen, having smelled the wonderful food that Spike was making.

“Smolder?” Twilight looked in surprise as the orange dragoness came in. “What are you doing here? I thought you went home for the vacation?”

Smolder rubbed her left arm with her right. “Yeah… well I just didn’t want to go home right now. My parents don’t care about anything I do with ponies, so I didn’t want to bother them. Plus, I like having my own little area and not be bothered by other dragons into their games.” It wasn’t a total lie and both unicorns nodded at that, though it still left them weary on she being the only student in the building.

“Well maybe you could find your friends around here to hang around with? Or maybe just still around a bit,” Starlight suggested. “Lord Ember is coming over.”

“Yeah, I know.” she said with a light irritated tone leaving her. “I was there when Spike read the letter last night.”

“You were with Spike? Last night?” asked Twilight a bit of curiosity. “Why were you two together?” Smolder realized that she had said something she wasn’t supposed to. The rules were not to fraternize with peers or staff members inside of rooms or outside of the view of others. She had just stated that she and Spike were together last night and it didn’t take a genius to usually figure out what that meant.

Before she could stutter out an answer, Spike came back over with his own plate of hot food. As he was about to settle, he saw Smolder by the table. “Oh, hey Smolder! Good morning.” His attitude and tone was cheery, so there was no hint of any awkwardness of what had happened between the two.

“Spike, Smolder said you two were together last night?” she asked in a bit of a questioning but even tone. “What were you do doing together?”

Quick as his wings were to pop in, Spike answered. “Oh, well I came to Smolder asking her if there was anything else I need to worry about with my growth spurts.” Which was true. “I just didn’t want any more surprises, you know? I suddenly grew ten feet! I might start hoarding again…”

Twilight liked the response and noticed he was chipper, so maybe he got the answers he sought. “Anything you would like to share?” He asked him before also glancing at Smolder. “Something I could write about for future references!” Her excitement seemed to look passed the awkward look the two young dragons passed between one another.

However, just like before, fate intervened and the sound of a roar came before a small tremor, then the sound of large doors being thrown open. Both ponies jolted at that, while the two dragons looked at each other and instantly knew who it was.

“Ember is here!” Spike yelled in excitement. He quickly set his plate on the table before zooming past the kitchen and towards the castle entrance. Meanwhile the unicorns gave worriedly glances to each other.

“I hope she doesn't immediately start eating my castle again.” Grumbled Twilight as she and Starlight pushed away from the table and made their way to greet the Dragon Lord. Smolder followed shortly, but gave a glance at the food made. She sighed and quickly made her way to the entrance.

Spike made his way towards the entrance where he saw the Dragon Lord herself, standing tall and proud with the Bloodstone Scepter in her right claw. “Ember!”

“Spike?” Ember stared at amazement at the dragon before her. He had gained wings! Spike flew at her, however, he quickly hovered to a stop before approaching her, knowing she didn’t like hugs. He instead gave a wave, which caused her to frown slightly as she had her arms spread. “No hug this time?” There was disappointment in her tone.

Spike realized she gave an invitation and quickly jumped to hug her. “Sorry, I just knew you don’t like hugs. I rather you give permission then to do it without it.” Ember felt a warmth in her heart and it wasn’t the ‘game’ she had caught before her arrival here, settling. She wrapped her arms around him this time. Though she immediately felt flush rush to her face as Spike had brushed chin near her nethers and his wings had wrapped around her too where the tips of them caressed her hind legs near her tail. Spike also briefly inhaled from her lower region, though he didn't comment or react when he smelled a soft, sweat scent coming from her.
She didn’t want anycreature else to see so she gave a quick firm hug before letting go. “With you, I’ll make an exception.”
This gave him a smile. They both then heard the clops of hooves entering the room. “Hi Lord Ember!” Greeted the unicorns in unison. Ember gave a wave and paused. She then squinted her eyes and tried to make them both out. She pointed to one and then the other. “Uh… Twilight and Starlight?” she asked. Both unicorns nodded with light enthusiasm. After them, Smolder came into view, looking at Ember with a light smile.
“Hey, Lord Ember.” she waved, half effort to greet her Dragon Lord.
“Smolder! Good to see you stuck around here! Guess you didn’t want to head back home to deal with the others, huh?”
Smolder shook her head. Twilight meanwhile walked closer to the Dragon Lord.
“Well, glad you could come Lord Ember. Are you here to see how the school works and the lessons we teach?”
“Huh?” Ember gave them a confused look. Spike realized that he hadn’t briefed Ember on why she came. Spike quickly jumped in.
“Yeah! She did!” He yelled almost a bit loudly. “I was personally gonna show her around! You know… while you guys… do what you need to do! Like… Anything else!”

Twilight and Starlight looked at him with stranger looks while Ember did the same. Ember’s eyes however caught Smolder as she nodded and placed a digit against her muzzle, signalling her to stay quiet. Ember didn’t like being told to stay quiet from other dragons, but decided to play along.
“Yeah… huh, I came because I wanted to see if this… uh place, whatever you called it, was good enough! Yeah, maybe I can send more dragons to learn from here.” She wasn’t sure of her own words and neither was Twilight or Starlight. Both were not liking that Spike was trying to divert the reason Ember was really here for.
“Spike!” Twilight spoke assertively. “Why are you lying? What is the real reason Ember is here for?”
“Hey! He just gave his reason why I’m here for!” Ember said a bit more aggressively. “He doesn't have to say anything more than that!”
“But that is not what you are here for! I just want to know why you are here and why he has to lie for it. If you came here for a reason, then he wouldn’t need to lie for it. I’m more than happy to show you around but him…”
“Whatever I am here for and it involves him, that is Dragon business Twilight. For all you should be caring, I could be asking him to be my mate or consort and that has no implications for you whatsoever!” Ember snapped.

Silence filled the room and Spike was staring wide eyed at Ember, she practically told them why she was here for. Smolder also seemed shocked that Ember said this out loud but then again, she wasn’t fully surprised that she would shout it out. Both Twilight and Starlight had their mouths hanging and looking at Ember with wide eyes.
Spike, if he could, would be sweating bullets, as the intensity of the situation was on high. He wanted to respond, to say anything that could deflect the situation, however it was only made clear when Ember used tail and arm to bring Spike closer to her.

“Yeah, that is why I am here for,” she huffed, a small puff of smoke leaving her nostrils. “I am here to ask Spike here to be my mate for the Dragon Mating season coming. Not that it has anything to do with you, but that is why I’m here.”
Spike felt conflicted in the most unusual situation as he felt the heat and caress of Ember’s body against his own with his head resting on her hip. However, the fear surging through him was what would be Twilight’s response to this. He saw that Smolder however looked upset and had crossed her arms, looking at them.
Finally after some time of silence, Twilight closed her mouth, mashing her lips together in thought before speaking with a bit of hesitation. “I...I didn’t know that… Dragon Mating season was here. More so, I didn’t know why you came here for… but that makes… sense.” She paused and a bit of a glare was shot towards Spike. “Why did you lie about that?”
Spike stiffened at her tone, but Ember held him close, pressing against him all the more. “Maybe because he believed you wouldn’t approve of him. Maybe because he knew how sheltered you ponies are when it comes down to things like this.”
Twilight’s brow tightened. “I… know pony society is fickle compared to dragons, but we have our time of the year when ponies mate. I have no personal quarrel with anypony involved.” Then her right eyebrow rose. “But why Spike?”
Ember let him go but kept him close. She confidently held strong but spoke gently from before. “I know Spike might not seem much to other dragons but because he is kind, he is caring and he is the most selfless dragon I have met, I know that he would be perfect to be a potential mate for me. Well… not just me but any dragoness who met him. He knows how to treat his friends and his family, even strangers that he just met. I’ve heard of his tales. Saving you ponies from evil before, befriending Thorax and helping you out saving your home. I think that is qualities that will never be found in other dragons.”
Spike felt his heart sore at Ember’s words, even more so when she gave a smile of her own. Twilight was in awe at Ember, having so described Spike for the dragon he was. In truth, he was much more than most of what she said but she appreciated that she like Spike for who he is, not just another dragon. Smolder herself like those qualities in Spike, but now that she heard Ember voice those in a way you would never hear another dragon talk about, unless they were going to be with you for a long while, she was starting to get antsy that Ember may in fact keep him.
Twilight smiled at her words but then she realized something wrong with what Ember said. “Wait, you said you want him to be your mate for the mating season. Isn’t Spike way to young to be your mate?” It wasn’t a question that it sounded, but more like a statement. Twilight didn’t want her younger sibling to have sex with an older dragon.

“Not the way you see it,” Commented Ember. “However, it is not your choice but his. I came today because I sought him and wanted to ask him.”

Once more Twilight was left agape at this. Smolder was hoping Twilight might intervene and Spike was still somewhat nervous about the approach. Starlight was rubbing her chin with her hoof before she sparked her first piece into the conversation. “So, despite his size and age, you still choose Spike. I haven’t personally seen many dragons outside of you, Smolder and part of the migrations, but I feel like you could be doing better, no?” She then quickly looked to Spike. “No offense Spike but… I think she has years on you.”

Spike somewhat shrugged at that, but then thought it over.

“Hey!”

“I said no offense!” Quickly added Starlight.

Twilight shook her head before responding. “Look, this is a bit all so sudden. So for now, lets just leave that for later. I’m sure your hungry from your trip. Let us go, have breakfast than we can deal with… this situation later.” She quickly left, trying to keep herself from losing her mind. Ember let Spike go and a grin formed on her muzzle.

“Breakfast sounds good! All I had me was a small catch on the way over here.” Pony and dragon missed a step at the word catch, however they quickly moved passed it, hoping not to be hearing from Fluttershy anytime soon. Smolder followed after them into the kitchen, her mood still unsettled.

Ember sat the table, as she scanned and analyzed the kitchen with peeked or amused interest. Apparently to the added heroics and kindness that came with him, cooking and organizing was part of his arsenal of talents. The food he made her smelled and looked delicious, something he called an omelets. Despite their dietary of gems and meat being a consistent, Ember enjoyed what he added to the omelet. Five eggs went into the casing, but the center contained bell peppers, mushrooms, sapphire chunks, with melted pepper jack cheese, coated by powered ruby shavings. Never had she experienced something so giving and personal.

The other unicorns also began to eat. Meanwhile Smolder wondered if she could ask Spike for a plate herself. Approaching the table, Spike was reaching for his own, but found Smolder looking a bit meek and he quickly felt bad as he forgot to make her a plate. “Smolder, here have my plate!” He brought the large plate that he made the same way like Ember’s to her. Smolder went wide eye as he presented it to her. Her face flushed and she gave a warm smile at the drake at his generosity.

“Thanks Spike.” He gave a nod and smile back.

“No problem!” With that, he went back to the kitchen to begin his prep on his own food. Ember watched him head back towards the kitchen where he began to prep his own meal. Ember watched in awe as he grabbed whatever he needed and easily added or mixed in ingredients. He hummed a gentle tune and let his world slip away. Ember’s focus then turned back to Smolder, whom was enjoying the food that was meant for Spike. Normally, she would think that any dragon that would share his or hers stuff, outside of family or mates, was a complete idiot. That was how Dragon Lord Scales of long time before, had once said before.

But seeing him so freely give Smolder his food, even when he spent Draco knows how long on it, he did it without a second glance or hesitation. She herself couldn’t believe that he would go through efforts for anycreature. Using her claws, she pulled a piece of the omelet off, seeing the cheese create a string between the pulled piece and the rest and she placed it in her mouth.

Her eyes went wide as an explosion of flavor filled her taste buds. The unbelievable taste with a volcanic flow roamed her tongue. She wasn’t too huge on the veggies but the fact that they blended in with the rubies dust and sapphire bits, actually got an audible moan from her.

But she wasn’t the only one as Smolder herself moaned in bliss as she dived into her own meal. Meanwhile, the two unicorns looked at the moaning dragonesses, wondering if there was something missing in their own food. Starlight poked around her omelet with her fork while Twilight watched in curiousness at their appetites.

“I’m guessing you two never had omelets before?” she asked.

Smolder broke from her stupor of high bliss from flavor heaven and shook her head. “No! In truth, the food in the dragon lands are pretty bland, even the most hardened and juicy diamonds. When I came here, I stuck to gems because I wasn’t aware how pony food might affect me, but now that I had this!” she growled as she pulled on another piece of gooey cheese and egg, “This beats everything and anything else I have ever tasted!”

“Yeah!” Agreed Ember as she took another bite into her omelet. “I never had food taste this good! I could go without the veggies but they give the food a tangy taste that I never experienced before! Though the powered ruby goes nice with the sapphire!”

“Glad you two like it!” Spike pipped in, as he came to the table with his own steaming plate of an omelet. He jumped into his own seat, between Ember and Smolder, where saw that the girls, all of them, had really enjoyed their meals. “I made sure they were extra special this morning!”

The two dragonesses agreed with him.

“I have never had anything this good Spike,” Ember chirped as she continued to eat her food. “Truly you are a dragon of many talents.” She swallowed her last piece before burping loudly, much to Starlight’s and Twilight’s dismay… and disgust. She sighed and relished in her meal. “Which is why I choose him to be my mate and maybe a life-mate as well.”

Two ponies and two dragons were swallowing when she announced that. The four of them were caught off guard and began to cough violently as their surprised reactions caused their food to get caught in their airways. Ember watched in confusion as the four creatures before her coughed heavily on their food, her head twisting to the side in confusion.

“Is… this something you ponies partake in your meals? It doesn't sound fun.”

Spike and Smolder were the first to recover, quickly swallowing it down since dragons had big gullets. Twilight and Starlight got their drinks from their table and quickly downed their cups, trying to ease their coughs until their bodies relaxed

A minute goes by before anycreature says anything, either still trying to recover from their recent coughing fit or being to unsure of how to respond. Twilight reluctantly responds with steady but hesitant words.

“Ember… As we… uh said before,” She pointed to Starlight. “We think that Spike is too young to be with you!”

Ember rolls her eyes and crosses her arms. “Yeah, to you ponies. But Spike is already mature enough to properly mate. He already went through his molt, he’s got his wings and he also probably already is ready to blow his load too.”

This sent Spike into a reddish state, alongside with Twilight, whom were both embarrassed at hearing Ember like this. Starlight couldn’t help herself but crack down laughing loudly, head hitting the table and hitting her hoof on the table. Smolder meanwhile just stated silent, but grinning mischievously in her mind.

‘He already blew his load… in me!’

Spike tried to speak but Twilight cried in disgust and horror.

“Ahhh! I didn’t need to hear that, Ember! He practically my brother!”

Once more the Dragon Lord rolled her eyes at the hysteria of Twilight. Seriously, she was the one that stopped the end of the world how many times? She could do all that easy enough but hearing Spike needs to release? “Either way, I wanted to see if Spike wished to join me. Once the mating season has passed, if he was willing, would stay with me as my Lifemate.” She turned to the blushing drake and gave him a warm smile as rare as red moons.

Spike was trying to find an answer. Starlight had finished laughing but brought back her previous statement. “Well as said you could do some… err dragon?...Better but I understand you want someone as sweet and caring as Spike. But what about size wise?” Spike quickly looked down between his legs and then back at Starlight.

“Did you just…”

“Yes!” She chirped quickly, trying but failing to hide the painful grin on her face. “But you have to admit at least be part true! Your half her size! And… you gonna have to work really harddddddd!” She emphasized the ‘d’ in hard, making this a really weird tease about his size. He wasn’t really sure how to react with that statement.

Fortunately, Ember was ready. “Well, that will not be a problem. I have been studying the Bloodstone Scepter with my father and there are a few tricks I can do with this.” She brought the Scepter into view were it glowed brightly.

Starlight and Twilight looked in awe as she held.

“You did not have that in your claws earlier!” Half stated, half yelled Starlight. “That thing… like disappeared when you came into the kitchen! It’s like we forgot that you had it!”

Ember smirked. “Yeah, it more or less is a cloak, to keep other dragons from trying to steal it. Heh, if there is one thing that I am glad for, is that history has so much to teach and I learned enough from the previous dragon lords before my father.” She then pointed it directly at Spike, who froze as the glowing ruby at the center was pointed directly at him. “I also learned that controlling other dragons is just the beginning.” She then lit the Scepter upon Spike and it fired a red beam towards him. Spike cried as the beam hit him, enveloping him in a red glow but felt nothing.

“What are you doing?!” screamed Twilight and Starlight, ready to defend Spike with her horn glowing. However, when Ember didn’t answer and Spike wasn’t affected, she waited. The beam stopped, the glow disappeared and Spike remained unaffected. He looked over himself, expecting to be incinerated or changed somehow or forced to do some crazy thing for Ember, but he stayed the same.

“Uhh… was something supposed to happen, Ember?” asked Starlight.

“Not immediately at first… unless he was like any other dragon.” she answered. She stood up from her seat and made her way towards Spike, whom still checked over himself for any effects.

Ember met his eyes and smiled. “What I did was I unlocked a bit of growth in you. Its sorta like a greed growth but it won’t be out of control. Instead, it will allow you to grow bigger, without you losing yourself. However, you have to stay strong and think about remaining as you are.” She grabbed his claws in hers and pulled him away from the table to the center of the kitchen, away from anything that might get damaged.

“Uhhh… what?” was all I got before the glow returned and he gasped as he felt a surge through his chest. It began to slightly press against him, almost like he was about to release a large burp but didn’t move.

“Remember, it’s only a greed growth if you let it. Think about how big you could get or will get, without thinking you want everything.”

“Huh?” asked again. This time Smolder screamed out to him.

“Think big! Think happy big!” The smaller dragoness crossed her arms in frustration, waiting for something to happen. Spike blinked at that and looked towards Ember. It was a crude, off set way of putting it but she nodded and he sighed, furrowing his brow in concentration.

‘Think big, think happy big.’ Closing his eyes, he then imagined himself tall. He imagined himself as big, if not maybe bigger than Ember. Taller if need be. He didn’t want to be intimidating like Garble but he also didn’t want to look like a twig or a wimpy dragon. He played with an idea in mind, though his body started creating pressure on his joints. Maybe he was stressing himself. He heard several audible pops on his joints and he reacted. “Ow!”

“Keep going!” Cheered Ember. “And don’t open your eyes!” He sighed and did as she instructed. He concentrated with more and more of his body stressing and joints cracking. He felt his spine pull and he gave an audible groan as he felt that stretch.

“Is it working?” he asked out loud.

“Yes!” Came the cry from four females. He wanted to see himself. His skull began to twist, though this felt like the beginning of a bad headache, he allowed his head to shape. His jaw also began to stretch, where he felt his jaw dislocate, causing him to moan in pain before it set itself back. His wings membrane split and tore, only to reform again with a strong skin. His body felt heavier and he wondered if he gained weight.

Finally after a few minutes of pain and uncomfortable shifting in his body, he sighed. His body felt sore, but like a good kinda sore like after getting a deep tissue massage from Bulk Biceps, but with less pain.

“Woah!” Was the sound he heard next, followed by gasps. He opened his eyes his eyes, immediately greeted to the site of everyone, only… he was higher. Looking at Ember, he was matching her in height, maybe a bit more. She looked at him with amazement, but her eyes also held lust and adoration. He looked towards Twilight and Starlight, whom both looked flabbergasted and in awe at him. Finally, he saw Smolder, whom was staring wide eyed, with a full flush to her face.

Not only was he taller but he looked down at himself and saw he had grown. Mass had formed at his chest, arms and legs, leaving no hatchling fat left on his body. His digit and claws were longer, sharper with a gleaming edge. He turned his head to see his wings were longer than his body was whole, instinctively stretching them and seeing they were roughly five of his own feet across. Reaching to touch his head, he felt a more pointed skull, his head stretching out like Ember’s but with a more curved skull then round. His snout in front of him was almost pointed, with a broad base and under jaw. Lastly, he spines across his head, along with the rest of his body down to his tail, which had grown a couple of feet, where sharper, with a thick base and wicked edges to them.

He felt… better, like this. He felt… whole and complete. He didn’t feel greed, nor did he care for anything other than the ones he loves. His mind was just as sharp as ever. His senses were high now, his eyes sharper at seeing details he never saw before with colors and focus more defined. His ears could pick up the birds outside, despite their being no kitchen windows. Lastly, his nose took in the smell of the four females in front of him. Each carrying their own unique scent and musk.

A sharp inhale, brought all that in and more. Way more… in fact. He noticed a small but noticeable layer of musk from all four. Twilight he knew by heart because he lived with her his whole life. He… somewhat discovered when Twilight was in heat or aroused.
This applied here. Not just her but Starlight as well, though it may not be as strong as Twilight, he had been around her long enough to smell a difference. Then came the two dragonesses in front of him. Ember was full on aroused, no doubt because of the whole reason being here, but right now, it was more defined and it seemed that she noticed, though she did not care. In fact, her eyes became half lidded with a soft growl vibrating at the back of her throat. Her legs spread a bit more just so he could actually get more of her scent.
Smolder on the other claw however… was trying hard to cross her legs and shove her claws in between her legs. Yeah, she definitely couldn’t hide it at all.
He also felt that now more than ever, his confidence and boost and moral was stronger than ever. He had nothing to really fear.

“So… did everything on him grow or do you need to use the Scepter to still have him grow to meet your standards? You know like even downstairs?” Was Starlights question, though it held no innocence to it.
“BUCKING STARLIGHT!” Roared Spike.

Author's Note

So yeah this aint no clop, its just a filler comedy for now. Don't expect to many actually! This series will be mostly clop but just need to put a break in between so I don't lose the overall plot as well as where its going.
The title said it all...
Also with the intro of Scales and Gaius, most of the continuity of my other dragons will not be affected by that single event from the show, so do expect continuity errors later.
