As the sun rose into the sky, Spike let out a loud yawn as he sat up in his bed. “Man, that was nice,” He said as he stretched his arms. “Haven’t had a good sleep like that in forever.” He then got up and began to do his morning routine, which consisted of him taking a nice warm shower, brushing his teeth, and shining his scales.

Once he was finished, he made his way over to the dresser to get dressed, but paused when he noticed there was an envelope on the top of it. “What’s this?” He asked as he picked the envelope up. It was a manilla envelope, but it looked as if it was packed with something heavy as it looked pretty thick. He guessed that there were pictures inside so he figured to check them out.

“I may as well see what the girls gave me,” He said as he turned the envelope around to open it up, only to see that there was some writing on the back of it.

Dear Spike

I know that this vacation is what we need to relieve ourselves of a lot of stress, but we wanted to give you a bit of a warm up before we go to the island. I hope you enjoy our little gift before our little beach trip.

Your harem

After reading the note, Spike gained a curious look on his face. “I wonder what their gift is,” he said as he proceeded to open the envelope up, revealing to him that there were indeed photos inside. He pulled them out, and immediately felt himself start to blush upon seeing the first photo, which was a picture of Applejack with her signature hat giving him bedroom eyes while posing seductively in the nude.

“Ah, so this is what they meant by a ‘warm-up,’” He said as he moved on to the next photo, which was of a naked Rainbow Dash with her toned butt stuck out and a smirk on her face. The photo after that was of a naked Pinkie Pie, with whipped cream on her nipples and crotch while she was sucking on a banana. The next ten photos were of the rest of his harem, each one naked and doing a sexy pose. Then the photos became group shots, with the girls doing lewd things to each other, such as eating each other out. Finally, the last photo was of the girls posing in sexy lingerie with seductive looks.

“I feel that these girls are gonna be the death of me soon,” he said to himself as he put the photos back into the envelope and wanted to make sure nopony saw these. “Well, I better go see if the girls are ready.” He then finished getting dressed, and left his room, making his way to his mother’s throne room.

Upon reaching the throne room, he saw all the girls were waiting for him. Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Starlight, Trixie, Tsareena, Crystal Heels, Yamimane, Mesosoma, Trachea, Bluebelle, Ember, Gilda, Greta, Tempest, and Diamond Shine were all waiting for him. All of their suitcases were packed up, and he could see his suitcase near Twilight’s legs. He blushed a bit when he saw his harem, and they knew with a smile that they saw his envelope.

“So, did you girls sleep well?” He asked them.

“We slept just fine Spike,” Rarity said with a smile as she leaned over giving a good view of her cleavage with the drake. He blushed in response, but noticed that Twilight was a little sluggish for a bit.

“Twilight, are you okay?”

“Y-yeah, I’m fine,” she said trying to hide the pain she endured from the girls. “Just nervous that’s all.”

“Okay, I guess,” Spike said, not wanting to make this weird. “Anyways, when did Princess Celestia say she was going to bring us a ride to the island?”

“Why don’t you ask her yourself?” A familiar motherly voice said getting everyone’s attention. Looking in the direction the voice had come from, they saw that Celestia, Luna, and Cadance were walking towards them. They then gave them a warm smile as Celestia said, “Your private airship has been set up and is ready to go.”

“That’s good to hear, but are you sure that ponies outside won’t be able to see us?” Spike asked, worried for his group after what happened over the past few weeks.

“Oh don’t worry, we took care of that,” Cadance explained.

“We anticipated that so we added a few cloaking spells to try and make it where they wouldn’t be able to see you when you fly off,” Luna added.

“Wait we’re leaving on an airship?” Ember, Trachea, and Mesosoma asked, pretty stunned since they had never even seen an airship before.

“I’ve seen airships, but I’ve never really rode on one,” Mesosoma said with some embarrassment.

“I actually shot at one once,” Ember mentioned, causing everyone to look at her funny. “It was grounded and old, okay?”

“Okay,” Spike said with a sigh. “Anyways, so we should be good right?”

“Yes, you all should be,” Princess Celestia mentioned. “Enjoy your time away Spike,” she said with a smile as she walked over to him and leaned down. “And make sure you give your mates the time of their lives.”

The girls noticed him blush like crazy, and watched as he grabbed her by the arm and began to pull her away.

“Where are you going Spike?” Twilight asked him.

“A quiet place to have a chat with Princess Celestia,” He firmly replied.

“Wonder what she said that got him worked up like that,” Pinkie asked as she pulled out some candy from her mane.

Once they had gone away from the group for a good distance, he turned to her and said, “MOOOOOOOMMM! Don’t say that!!”

“I didn’t just say that for you Spike, but to help the girls de-stress,” she said sweetly, while playfully sticking out her tongue.

“For your information, I can destress them without your help,” He replied.

“I know,” she added with a nod. “I think it’s just fun seeing the look on your face and how you reacted to the girls.”

“You're not helping mom,” Spike said in annoyance as he tried to hide his embarrassed face. “Can you stop teasing me?”

“Sorry sweetie, but that’s part of my job as your mother,” Celestia said with a grin, causing him to let out a groan of disappointment. “Anyways, shouldn’t you be joining the girls soon?”

“True, and can you please not do anything embarrassing when we get back?” Spike asked.

“I’ll try, but no promises,” she said, playfully sticking out her tongue.

“Mom, seriously…” Spike replied with a flat look.

“Alright, alright, I won’t do anything embarrassing,” Celestia said, causing him to smile.

“Thanks mom,” he replied, hugging her in response.

“You know Spike,” Celestia began, a smile starting to grow on her face as she hugged him back. But she did something that made Spike feel a little uncomfortable, rubbing up and down his back and pressing herself against him. “If I didn’t know any better, with the way you’re hugging me, I’d say you’re trying to add me to your little harem.”

“MOM!!!” Spike exclaimed with shock, quickly letting go of her and pushing her away. “That’s not funny!!” Celestia started laughing loudly at his reaction.

“Sorry, I couldn’t help myself,” She said as she continued to laugh. “The situation was too perfect!”

“Ugh!! I’m heading back to the girls,” Spike said with a groan as he started walking away. As Spike walked away, Celesti started walking in the other direction where Princess Luna and Princess Cadance were, still chuckling from the joke she’d made. She then opened a door to see that Luna and Cadance were looking at her, with Luna having more of a dull stare, while Cadance was chuckling for a bit.

“Must you tease Spike like that constantly sister?” Luna asked her with a deadpan look. “He is clearly tired of it.”

“Can’t help if he leaves himself open for them all the time,” Celestia replied with a smile, causing Luna to sigh.

“You seem to have an unhealthy habit of doing this to him,” Luna added. “You know you can’t smother him forever.”

“I know that Luna. I just want to spend as much time with him as possible,” Celestia replied.

“You do have to admit that it was a little funny,” Cadance added with a smile.

“I feel my sisters’ nature is starting to rub off on you,” Luna added with a sigh, but then turned to Cadance with a more serious tone. “I still wanted to talk to you about why you agreed to let her on board with them. Especially after what she did to you, us and our friends.”

Cadance sighed. “I’m not going to lie, I had my reservations about helping her out at all,” Cadance began. “I mean, after all she did to us, who wouldn’t? But after really getting to know her over these past two weeks, I feel like we can let her do this.”

“You were tempted to break her face weren’t you?” Celestia and Luna asked, both having dead panned looks on their faces.

“Heh, yeah, you could say that I was,” Cadance replied with a somewhat embarrassed look.

“How’d Shining Armor react to it?” Luna asked. “He has just as much reason to be angry with her as does Twilight, and I’m afraid how she’ll react.”

“Well, he wasn’t happy, understandably,” Cadance said. “In fact, he actually tried to kill her, thinking she was up to something. And if I hadn’t held him back, he would have actually done it.”

“So do you think the girls will react the same way?” Celestia asked her.

“I did give her a note that would explain why she’s there, and hopefully they won’t try to kill her,” Cadnace mentioned. “I’m still surprised how calmly you took the fact that she’s actually in love with Spike.”

“She wasn’t exactly calm,” Luna chimed in. “I mean, she did turn into Daybreaker and shout that she was going to hunt her down and end her life. Nearly burned up the entire Royal Garden when I found her.”

“So long as she doesn't hurt him, then I'm okay,” Celestia said with a calm smile on her face, but inside she was seething with rage. ‘I want to rip her arms out and stuff them down her fucking throat!!’ Her mind screamed.

“To be fair, her plan did backfire which led to what happened, but her feelings do seem genuine,” Cadance stated. “I even gave her a unique bracelet where if she tried anything like her mind control or tried to harm Spike or any of his mates, it would deactivate her magic. It would also send us a warning if anything bad happens.”

“Well that was certainly a good idea,” Celestia said, feeling a small part of her relax upon hearing that. “But I’m still a bit worried that she’s going with all of them.”

“Relax sister, Spike and his mates can take care of themselves,” Luna told her. “And besides, Eris is going with them. Even if she tried something, she’d be powerless and taken out in two seconds.”

“Hopefully,” she said with a sigh. “We should at least see everyone off.”

“Agreed,” Cadance replied with a nod.

-The Carriages-

Spike, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Starlight, Trixie Tsareena, Yamimane, Crystal Heels, Zecora, Coco Pommel, Queen Mesosoma, Queen Trachea, Diamond Shine, Gilda, Greta, Bluebelle, Tempest and Ember were all standing outside of the castle but were still behind the gates.

“So, where are the carriages that’ll be taking us to this island?” Ember asked as she looked around, not seeing anything remotely resembling a carriage.

“That’s actually why we’re here,” Celestia said as she, Luna, and Cadance walked up from behind them.

“What do you mean?” Queen Trachea asked her, a confused look on her face.

“You’ll see,” Celestia replied with a smile, before turning to her fellow princesses. “Ready?”

“Ready sister,” Luna answered her with a nod.

“Then let’s begin,” Cadance said, surrounding her horn with blue magic before firing it up to the sky. Luna and Celestia quickly followed suit, firing a gold and black beam into the sky respectively. Once the beams made contact, a small orb started to form where they were meeting, and was starting to grow in size.

“I uh, think you’re getting your answer now,” Queen Mesosoma said to her sister, who merely nodded as she watched the princess continue to do...whatever they were doing.

The multi-colored orb continued to grow in size, soon reaching the size of a regular wagon, before growing past that. The princesses grit their teeth as they concentrated their magic on the orb.

Eventually, the orb had grown to the size of a small house, and the bottom of it seemed to be getting more solid, as if it was being replaced with something while the rest of it continued to grow bigger. As the rest of the orb grew bigger and bigger, parts of it continued to get more solid like the bottom, until the orb was finally the size of a football field, after which it stopped growing in size. After a few more minutes had passed, the princesses ceased using their magic, panting a bit as their magic dissipated, revealing that an object was where the orb had been.

“Oh...my!!” Fluttershy said with wide eyes as she stared up at the object in the sky above them.

“It’s huge!!” Ember shouted with shock.

“I’ve never seen an airship that big before!!” Twilight said. “When did you make this?”

“It’s one of my old carriers,” Celestia said with a smile. “Like I said, I didn’t want anypony to know where I was going with this, so it’s only fair I’d have something to sneak off in.”

Said airship was as big as a football field, and white in color with gold stars on the blimp portion. Yellow glass windows were on the ship itself, and gold railings lined the ship. A large elevator started lowering itself to the ground before them, and came to a stop silently, before its two pairs of doors opened.

“Not to be a stickler Princess, but wouldn’t anypony see us in this big thing?”

“Nope, I’ve had precautions on the ship for that very purpose,” Celestia added. “Even if you all take off, you’ll be completely invisible.”

“Well that’s good,” Spike said with a nod. “Thanks for letting us borrow this.”

“It’s no problem Spike,” Celestia replied with a warm smile as she walked over and hugged Spike, once more trapping his head in her cleavage. “I’d do anything to help out my son.”

Spike's face flushed bright red as he struggled to try and make Princess Celestia let him go. The girls got quite the reaction seeing his face buried in her mammoth cleavage. Ranging from shock, embarrassment, confusion and arousal.

“P-princess Celestia!” Rarity said with a blush as she watched Spike try to pull his head out of her cleavage. “You're smothering him!”

“Sorry, I can’t help myself,” Celestia said as she let go of the young drake.

“What is Spike doing?” Ember asked with a confused look. “And what is Princess Celestia doing to him?”

“Um, embarrassing him, I think?” Queen Mesosoma replied with uncertainty.

“What is that, some type of punishment?” she asked, looking at everyone else. Everyone saw the expression on her face and Ember was genuinely confused. “Why are you all staring at me like that? What did I say?”

“Are you seriously that innocent?” Rainbow Dash asked her with an incredulous look on her face.

“Now Rainbow, we can’t blame her for being that way,” Flutterhy said to her friend calmly. “After all, dragons don’t know many pony customs.”

“Okay, but what about Mesosoma?” Rainbow replied. “Surely changelings know about pony customs by now.”

“Well, um, actually, most do know about them,” Mesosoma said. “But some of them are shut-ins with the customs. Even after Twilight opened up her school, some are still nervous about wanting to go out and meet others around them. Ocellus is one of those seeing as she’s Chrysalis’s niece.”

“Okay, I can see that,” Rainbow replied with a nod, none of them noticing that Diamond Shine winced upon hearing the name “Chrysalis” get mentioned.

“That's something I’ve had to keep in mind ever since she enrolled in,” Starlight added, and Twilight chimed in.

“As much as I like to talk about my school, we’re all on vacation and we really need this,” she added with a sigh. “So let’s get on and go!!”

“Alright Twilight,” Spike replied as he looked at her and the other girls. “Let’s go have a vacation.” All the girls and Spike cheered as they all boarded the elevator with their things, ready to have a good time.

Once they were on board, the elevator doors shut with a “Clang!” before it started lifting them up towards the ship. After several seconds had passed the elevator had reached the ship, and two large panels on the bottom opened up, allowing the elevator to go back inside. The doors then shut themselves, and the ship’s engines started up, thanks to the magic the princesses had cast on the ship itself. There was no need for a crew or pilot, since the ship was piloted by magic itself, and Celestia had made sure the ship was set to go to her private island.

“This is a pretty unique ship,” Twilight said with surprise as she looked around, the elevator slowing down as it was pulled deeper into the ship. “And it looks like it’s on autopilot as well.”

“At least we won’t have to drive, but how are we sure nopony will see us?” Starlight added as she looked outside of the windows. While the airship was taking off, the locals on the ground weren’t taking notice. The occasional blowing of the wind, blowing up someone’s dress, snatching the paper out of one’s hand, and losing your favorite snack. Everyone just thought it was the weather. What they didn’t realise though, was that it was not the weather, but the secret airship the princesses had summoned.

“Yeah, it’s invisible,” Trixie added. Everyone on the inside gave a friendly goodbye as they waved at the Princesses on the ground and the airship took off into the sky. The Princesses waved goodbye to them as well and hoped that they enjoyed their vacation.

“I do hope that they can enjoy themselves,” Princess Celestia said with a smile on her face.

“You still owe me a chance on that island when they’re done,” Cadance said with a dull stare.

“Don’t worry, I promise that when they’re done, I get a chance to send you and your husband off as well,” Celestia added.

“Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance,” a guard said, getting the attention of the three royals.

“Yes?”

“Queen Novo wishes to speak with you,” The guard said calmly. “Now, if at all possible.”

“Alright, thank you for letting me know,” Celestia replied, before turning to her fellow princesses. “I wonder what she wants.”

“I have no idea,” Cadance said as the three began heading back inside the castle.

“Well we should see what she does want,” Luna added.

Once inside, the three made their way to one of the guest rooms, where they found Queen Novo pacing, a worried look on her face. She was pacing back and forth in her hippogryph form, her arms crossed under her hefty bosom.

“What’s wrong Queen Novo?” Cadance asked the worried woman upon seeing how she was acting.

“Where did my daughter sneak off too this time?” She muttered to herself, before realising that she was no longer alone in the room. “Oh, um, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, Princess Cadance, thank you for coming so quickly. I was wondering if you perhaps knew where my daughter was. I went to the room she was given earlier, and she’s not there,” She asked the princesses with a worried tone.

“You sure that she isn’t wandering around the castle at the moment?” Luna asked.

“I checked with all the guards. No one’s seen her,” Novo replied, getting more worried.

“I’m sure she’ll turn up some time,” Cadance reassured her. “We haven’t really had an attack since the Storm King.”

“Maybe she went out to the town,” Celestia suggested. “She could have wanted to explore it.”

“No, she did that last time we were here, and no one’s seen her outside of the castle,” Novo replied with a shake of her head. “Oh, where could my baby be?”

‘Well, if Skystar didn’t go to the town or in the castle, then where could she b-’ Luna’s eyes widened as she got an idea. And based on her fellow princess’s faces, they’d also gotten similar ideas. ‘She’s going to the island.’

-Airship-

“This is awesome,” Rainbow Dash said in excitement as she was flying around the airship. “She has to let us keep this whenever we go out.”

“It’s still her airship, so let’s try not to ruin it,” Twilight said as she looked around the room they were currently in. The floor was covered in deep red carpet with gold swirls scattered throughout, while the walls were painted a light blue, and the ceiling was light green in color. Glowing white gems sat embedded in the walls equidistant from one another, providing light for them to see.

“I must say, Celestia has really outdone herself with this one,” Rarity said as she looked outside. “Hardly anypony is noticing us.”

“Show’s she wasn’t bluffing about this thing being invisible,” Crystal Heels said with a smile. “It’s nice to not be hassled by those goons outside for a change.”

“You all must’ve gone through a lot over a wedding,” Bluebelle said, walking over to Twilight.

“Seeing as some people can’t take a hint that we actually love Spike and don’t want to accept reality,” Trixie added in annoyance. “They need to grow up and understand that this is real, and they can't change it, like it or not.”

“Oh please,” Rainbow Dash followed up. “Ponies like that will never get their heads out of their asses. They’ll just let this fester and build up inside knowing that our stud here did what they couldn't.”

“Can you please not drag me into this?” Spike said as he was looking out the window. “I still had to deal with death threats from some assholes before we left.”

“Yeesh, you guys really were having issues,” Gilda said with a worried look.

“I’m not surprised,” Bluebelle said, stepping in. “You spend your whole life getting what you want without impunity, you tend to get a swelled head. So when what they perceive as some nobody accomplishes all of this, they feel insecure and helpless, like a cornered rat.”

“Yep!! I can’t agree with ya more!” Applejack replied with a nod. “Those darn stallions think they can get any mare they want with their money and power. They ain’t ever happy cause they don’t get ta know them.”

“It’s what happens when you grow up rich,” Tempest added. “You grow up like that, you have no sense of responsibility, they’re also just mooching off someone else's name as well.”

As the girls continued to discuss the issues with the nobles in Canterlot, Spike decided to step away from the group, wanting to explore the ship. Twilight and Bluebelle noticed him leave, and decided to go with him, leaving the rest of the girls to talk. They later found Spike staring out from a balcony, as he sighed to himself. ‘Man has my life gone crazy!’ He thought as he remembered how all this began with a comic book he read. He and his friends had been sucked into it and made part of the story, before getting captured by the villains. Then, Trixie made a mistake, which ruined the villain's plan, but also changed him. He and the girls had been brought back to the heroes hideout, where he then, over the course of several hours, ravaged them, although they had offered themselves to him to save his life. They’d then escaped the comic, dragging the villains along with them, and he’d discovered his changes were permanent, and later learned the girls were pregnant. Then, just last night, Bluebelle had mentioned that if she’d met someone similar to Spike, she’d bed him. Spike wanted to believe she had just said that to make her brother mad, but he wasn’t 100 percent certain that was the only reason she had said it.

“Spike,” Twilight called out, getting his attention. He turned around to find both Twilight and Bluebelle behind him, both mares smiling towards him. “Something bothering you?”

“It’s just...a lot on my mind,” He replied.

“You mean the constant harassment by rich assholes, the constant cameras in our face and the death threats you get over impregnating me and my friends?” Twilight asked, causing him to sigh again and nod.

“Yeah,” He said as he looked out the window again, staring at the passing clouds. “It’s a lot to take in, especially with how long we’ve known each other.”

“I’m not surprised,” Twilight replied as she walked over to him, making sure her legs were rubbing together as she walked. “I mean, we’ve known each other since you were born. Neither of us could have predicted this would happen to us.”

“Twilight, are you alright?” Bluebelle asked in confusion.

“I’m fine Bluebelle,” Twilight replied, turning to her and mouthing the words “Say nothing” before turning her attention back to Spike. “Anyways, we’re still together, and we didn’t give into those jerks anyway.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” Spike said. “Still I never expected this to go so far.”

“What’s not to expect from rich morons that don’t know any better?” Bluebelle added. “Besides, you think only commoners get annoyed by the rich? Nope!! The rich can get annoyed by them as well.”

“Like how your brother annoys you?” Spike asked her.

“I can hardly go one day without him trying to invite me to one of his parties,” Bluebelle replied with a groan. “There was this one stallion I knew was a bastard and he tried to invite me to a bedroom and almost had his way with me.”

“Are you serious?!!” Twilight exclaimed, anger and shock on her face. “Did your brother find out?”

“After I kicked him below the belt, I ran out the room and my brother was mad at me for hurting his so called business partner,” Bluebelle added. “Didn’t even care about his own sister. It’s like he cared more about his partner than his own sister.”

“Yeesh, he really is a scumbag,” Spike said

“I always have to make up an excuse just to not get near him after that day,” Bluebelle added. “Sometimes he just really gets on my nerves.”

“Makes us getting harassed by other stallions pale in comparison after what you went through,” Twilight bright up, placing a hand on Bluebelle’s shoulder. “I’m sorry that happened to you Bluebelle.”

“So long as I’m away from my brother, that’s enough for me,” Bluebelle said with a sigh. “Hopefully it’ll help me forget about the next asshole he’s gonna try and set me up with.”

“Well, some time on the island should help you with that,” Spike replied, gently patting her shoulder as he spoke.

“Thank you guys.”

“Hey there you are,” a voice called from behind and it was Tsareena who showed up with a smile on her face. She was joined by Tempest walking with her as well.

“Oh, hey Tsareena, Tempest,” Spike said with a smile. “Why do you look so excited?”

“We’re getting close to the island,” she said.

“Really?”

“Yes, look,” she added pointing behind them. The three of them then turned to the window, and saw that a dark shape was on the horizon.

“Oh wow!!” Twilight said with surprise upon seeing the island. “We’re already there?!”

“Ship must be pretty fast to get there undetected,” Spike said in shock.

“Speaking of which, whatever happened to that one ship you guys used before?” Tempest asked them, walking up with a curious look on her face. “You know, the one you used to escape me back when I was in service with the Storm King?”

Spike blinked upon hearing that, and hummed as he thought back to that tumultuous moment in time. ‘What ship is she talking abo-oh!!” His eyes widened with realization as he remembered the ship she had been talking about. “Dammit!” He said as he put a hand to his head, rubbing his forehead with frustration. “It’s sitting in a warehouse in Canterlot, waiting to be used. Can’t believe I forgot about it!! We could have used it to escape the press and jerks last week!!”

“Hate we didn’t think about that either, but then again, we wouldn’t know where to go either had Celestia not said anything about an island,” Twilight added.

“True, we do owe her that,” Spike added. He then looked up and noticed the expression that Tempest had and thought it was strange. He then turned to the girls. “Hey, could you go with the others, I need to do something really quick.”

“Sure Spike,” Twilight replied, having an idea as to what Spike was going to do. “See you in a few.” She then turned to Tsareena and Bluebelle. “Come along girls,” She said to them, gently taking them by the hand and pulling them away with her. This left Spike and Tempest alone for the time being.

“Is something wrong Spike?” Tempest asked the drake.

“You still feel like an ass after what happened with the whole Storm King thing, do you?” he bluntly asked her.

Tempest's eyes widened a bit, and a shocked look appeared on her face, a bit surprised at what the drake said. “You, uh, picked up on that?” She asked, the shocked look disappearing quickly as it was replaced by her typical calm look.

“I could tell by how you looked when you brought up the ship earlier,” Spike added.

“Yeah, I’m having a bit of a hard time accepting that I’ve been forgiven still,” She replied, sadness appearing on her face. “I can’t really even forgive myself for what happened.”

“You know my and my friends have already forgiven you after that day right?” Spiked added. “And Bluebelle wouldn’t have invited you if she didn’t trust you.”

“I know, I know,” Tempest replied before sighing. “It’s just hard for me to move on.”

“Well how can you expect the others to forgive you if you don’t forgive yourself?” Spike brought up as he walked over to her. “You never know if you keep things bottled up like this.” When she didn’t respond, he put a hand on her shoulder. “Why not use this vacation as a chance to do just that, and release everything bottled up in you. It’ll be good for you.”

“I...I think that would be nice,” she admitted, a small smile forming on her face. “Thanks for the talk Spike.”

“It’s not a problem Tempest,” he replied. “You’re my friend. I’m always willing to talk with my friends.”

Tempest opened her mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by a loud voice that called out “Spike!! Tempest!! We’re almost there!! You better get over here!!”

“Alright Pinkie!!” Spike called back. “We’ll be there in a minute!!” He then turned his attention back to Tempest, who smirked.

“Guess we better get over there,” She said.

“Yeah, we better,” Spike replied with a nod. “You don’t want to make her upset.”

-The Island-

A few minutes passed before they felt the airship start to slow down, letting them know they were almost there. They waited eagerly for the ship to come to a stop, wanting to get on the island as quickly as possible.

The airship eventually came to a stop, and a bell rang out on the ship, followed by a recording of Celestia’s voice. “You have now arrived at Celestia’s Private Island. Please enjoy your stay here,” The recording said before shutting off as the elevator doors opened once again.

“Come on guys!! Let’s go!!” Rainbow Dash said with excitement as she hurried over to the elevator and stepped inside, her things in her hands.

“Alright Rainbow, we’re coming,” Spike said with a chuckle as he headed over to the elevator to join her.

Twilight and Bluebelle looked out the balcony with curiosity, wanting to see what was waiting for them. The other girls, minus rainbow, joined them as well, eager to see the island.

They were not disappointed.

The island was very large, and appeared to look like a combined sun and moon, with a large mountain range running along the side of the moon and multiple valleys in the sun’s “rays.” Snow could be seen on the peaks of said mountain range, while two large lakes sat in the middle of the island. Luscious trees and bushes dotted the landscape, while several gold and blue buildings sat by the lakes. Each one had a special symbol on the front showing Celestia’s Cutie mark and had a shimmering feel to them.

“Wowie!! It’s spectacular!!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily.

“It’s gorgeous!!” Rarity stated with awe.

“It’s no wonder Celestia built this place to keep to herself sometimes,” Twilight said in shock and awe.

“And we have the whole island to ourselves for two weeks,” Tempest added.

“Come on guys!!” Rainbow called out impatiently. “Let’s go already!!”

“ALright Rainbow, we’re coming,” Twilight replied before turning to the rest of the group. “Come on, we’d better get over there before she decides to leave us behind.”

The airship finally touched down onto the area where a pad was for it, and the girls waited for it to settle in before the airship opened and the girls all stepped out. Spike, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Starlight, Trixie, Fluttershy, Zecora, Coco Pommel, Tsareena, Yamimane, Crystal Heels, Bluebelle, Tempest, Mesosoma, Trachea, Gilda, Greta, Diamond Shine, and Ember all stepped out of the ship to see themselves in front of the few buildings and some houses that were there as well.

“I can’t wait to feel the warm sand underneath my feet,” Greta said with a smile.

“I’d rather catch some waves with RD when I get there,” Gilda said as she thought about how wild the water might be here.

Tsareena opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped when she accidentally dropped a makeup kit. “Oops!” She said as she bent down to grab it. As she did so, she spotted a shadow out of the corner of her eye peeking its head out, but ducking back behind a plant on the ship.

“Wait, what was that?” she said in confusion.

“Whatever is wrong Tsareena?” Rarity asked, looking at the long haired mare.

“Something back there just moved,” she added. “I’m sure of it.” She then made her hair quickly reach over to where she had seen the shadow, it looking like a green viper striking its prey. They all then heard a loud yelp as Tsareena felt her hair grab onto a figure inside the ship.

“I got it!!” Tsareena said as she began to pull the figure out of the ship. Eventually, a large hair covered figure became visible to them, before it revealed a very familiar hippogryph underneath.

“Hehe, hey guys.” she said with a nervous smile.

“SKYSTAR?!” they all exclaimed in shock.

“Yeah, that’s me,” Skystar replied as she got off the ground. She was wearing a bright pink short sleeve shirt showing off a little cleavage and her belly, her necklace and crown, and a short yellow skirt.

“How’d you even get here?” Twilight asked in confusion. “We were invisible onboard the ship.”

“I snuck on,” she admitted with a smile.

“When did you even do that?” Bluebelle asked. “Better yet, why did you even do this?”

Well….” Skystar said.

-Flashback to right before they got on the ship-

“I’m so bored…” Skystar sighed as she walked through the castle’s hallways. She was bored out of her mind. Her mom wouldn’t let her do anything in the castle or town.

As she walked by a lounge room, she heard Bluebelle’s voice, and stopped. She quietly walked over to the door and pressed her ear against it, curious to know what was going on.

“So girls, are you as excited about going to Celestia’s private island as I am?” Bluebelle said.

“I guess,” Tempest replied.

“It’s so nice that Spike and his herd were willing to bring us along,” Mesosoma said happily.

“Yeah, they really are super nice,” Trachea added. “It’s kind of surprising that they are so nice.”

“It’s kinda their thing,” a stern female voice followed up. “Us dragons are still trying to get used to it, it’s why they opened up a friendship school in the first place.”

‘There’s a dragoness as well?’ Skystar thought with surprise.

“So when are we going on the airship, tomorrow?” Mesosoma asked Bluebelle.

“Yeah, it should be parked on the front lawn near the castle tomorrow after breakfast,” Bluebelle replied.

Skystar felt like she had heard enough, and quietly left, an idea forming in her pretty head.

The next day, Skystar was hiding in a bush, a small packed suitcase sitting next to her. She watched as Spike and the girls stepped outside, before they were then joined by the princesses. She watched with amazement as the three princesses summoned the massive airship, and before the elevator doors closed, managed to sneak aboard the elevator. Once the elevator had gotten inside the ship, she had gone out the back doors and down a hallway while the others went out the front ones, Spike and the girls not realizing that they could go out both sets of doors.

-Flashback end-

“You did all of that because you were bored?”

“It’s not my fault that I never got to have any fun and I overheard you guys and saw a chance,” Skystar said with a pout.

“You could’ve just talked to me instead of going that far,” Bluebelle said in annoyance.

“I didn’t think you’d let me come,” Skystar admitted. “I’ve been bored out of my skull after the Storm King was defeated. Even with him gone, my mother hardly won’t let me do anything, constantly keeping me inside a bubble. I just want to have fun for once in my life. Please let me stay with you guys, please?” By now, she was on her knees, her hands curled together as she begged with big puppy eyes. “I beg of you.”

“Maybe we should let her stay,” Fluttershy said after a few seconds. “I mean, what’s the harm? She did come just to have some fun.”

“And a mare having no fun is not my style at all,” Pinkie Pie chimed in. “Come on, what’s one more party member on our trip gonna do?”

“Alright, she can stay,” Twilight mentioned with a sigh. “But we should at least let her mom know where she is, she’s probably going crazy right now thinking that you were kidnapped right now.”

“Okay,” Skystar replied as she got off the ground.

“Spike, can you get me some parchment and a quill?” Twilight asked him.

“Sure, I just have to go through some of the luggage to get it,” Spike replied before heading over to the rear of the airship. He then pressed a small button that was visible on the side of the airship, and a portion of the bottom rolled back, revealing all their luggage. “Alright, now where did I put that bag?” he muttered as he looked around the luggage, moving a bag around to get a better view. “Oh, there it is!” He said upon spotting his bag. He then reached inside and grabbed the bag before pulling it out, causing a few more bags to fall out onto the ground as he did so.

“Ow!”

“Ow!!”

“Ow!”

“What the-?” Spike said in confusion.

“What was that?” Gilda asked, cocking her head in confusion like an owl.

“It came from back there,” Twilight said as the girls rushed over to where the three noises came from. Some of the bags that had fallen out were moving around, as if they were alive or something.

“What in the world?” Twilight said as she used her magic to grab the zipper and pull it open. She then flipped open the bag, and upon seeing what- or rather, who, was inside, gained a surprised look. “Gabby?!!”

“H-H-Hey Princess Twilight,” Gabby replied with a sheepish smile as she sat up. She was a 5ft foot 8inch tall, mostly gray griffon with gold talons for hands, turquoise eyes, a white diamond patch of fur going from her yellow beak to just below her neck, a long lion tail with a dark gray fluffy tip, and dark gray wings. She was wearing a light green tank top that covered most of her EE-cup bust and showed off her flat belly, and dark green shorts that did a good job covering her firm butt.

“W-What are you doing here?!” Twilight asked her. “And how did you get in the bag?!”

The other girls, upon seeing that they had another stowaway, turned to Skystar. “Did you have something to do with this?” Applejack asked her.

“No!! Not at all!!” Skystar immediately replied, shaking her head side to side several times. “I thought I was the only one who snuck aboard.”

“Actually, this was Smolder’s idea,” Gabby admitted, while nervously blushing.

“Smolder?” Ember asked in confusion. Everyone then noticed two more bags moving.

“Yeah,” Gabby said as Twilight opened up the two bags, revealing Smolder and...a

Smolder was a 6 foot 2inch tall orange dragon with a gold underbelly, two gold ear fronds that looked a bit like horns on the sides of her head, cyan eyes, orange wings with gold membranes, a row of purple spines on her head that looked like one giant smooth spine, and a tear-drop shaped purple spine on the tip of her tail. She was wearing a pink tank top that did little to cover her E-cup chest, and pink shorts that were ripped at the edges.

“Uh, hey guys…” Smolder said nervously as their eyes focused on what she was wearing.

“I’ve never seen you wear pink before Smolder,” Fluttershy said after several seconds of silence. “It looks really good on you. Why don’t you wear it more often?”

“Well, I uhh,” Smolder stammered, while the rock began to shake a bit.

“Um, what’s with the rock?” Gilda asked as she watched the rock shake more and more.

“I think I might know,” Trachea replied as she stared hard at the rock. After a few seconds of her staring, a light blue magic veil surrounded the rock for a few seconds before disappearing, revealing a familiar changeling.

“Ocellus?” Mesosoma said with surprise, while Diamond Shine held back a smile upon seeing her. “Why are you here?”

“H-H-Hi everyone,” Ocellus stammered with a small wave. She was a 5ft tall arctic blue changeling with cyan eyes, a light pink glittering see through neck and head fin, light pink wings covered with dark pink elytra, and a light pink tail. She was wearing a dark blue short-sleeve shirt with the picture of a book on it that appeared to be stretched around her G-cup chest, and dark blue shorts that seemed to be a bit tight on her slightly plump ass.

“Y’all mine explaining why yer here and why ya snuck on the ship?” Applejack asked, putting her hands on her hips as she spoke.

“Well, uhhh…...Smolder, how about you tell them?” Gabby replied, turning to Smolder as she spoke.

“Uggggh!! Fine!!” Smolder groaned with frustration. “It’s cause of what happened to Spike.”

“What do you mean?” Fluttershy asked her.

“Look, you can say his change is cause of a growth spurt all you want, but I know it’s bull,” Smolder answered. “No dragon has ever
had as drastic a change during their Dragon Cycle as he did. So I wanted to find out what made him change into this hulking Adonis out of nowhere.”

“Smolder asked me to come along with her, to h-help document her findings,” Ocellus added somewhat nervously. “And Gabby, well, she overheard us planning, and decided to come along.”

“I was also curious and I always wanted to go on an adventure,” she admitted with a smile.

“When I heard about the wedding as well, I thought it was a joke, but then I saw Spike like that and I was thinking, HOW!?” Smolder added. “There’s clearly something there and it was bothering me to no end. I just had to know.”

The girls looked at each other upon hearing this, before turning to Spike, who sighed. “Alright Smolder. I’ll tell you,” He replied, causing her to sigh with relief. “If I don’t, I think it’ll drive you crazy.”

“Thank you!!” Smolder exclaimed happily as she got up and stretched, her limbs feeling sore after all that time curled up in the bag. “So, what was it? Curse? Blessing? One of Twilight’s experiments gone wrong?”

“All good guesses, but no,” He replied with a shake of his head. “It was all due to a magic comic I got.”

“What?” she asked Spike, looking at him like he was crazy or something. “A magic comic?”

“I’m not kidding,” he mentioned, trying to get his point across.“You remember how I said that I entered the comic world last time?”

“Um, yeah,” she said. “You became Hum Drum and helped beat the Mane-iac.”

“There’s more to it than that,” he mentioned as he began to bring up a brief summary of what happened. Starting with Starlight and Trixie being sucked in the comic and he and the girls going to rescue them. It would lead to him being captured by the 3 female villains, and brought to a secret base of theirs, where they then began to do experiments on him, wanting to make him their super soldier. The girls quickly went after them, and were captured. But Trixie accidentally dropped a potion into the tank he was kept in, and it changed him, causing him to knock out the villains before passing out himself. They then brought all three villainesses and him back to their base, where they then worked hard to save his life. Spike made sure to leave out the part where they literally had to drain him dry just to keep him from going berserk on everyone in the comic world and how he got all the girls other than Bluebelle’s group pregnant with his kids. Afterwards, the magical buildup was enough for them to get out and it led to them being married.

After he was done explaining everything, he watched as the three girls processed what they had just learned. Smolder had a very confused look on her face, Gabby was smiling happily, having enjoyed the story, and Ocellus was quickly writing everything down in a notebook she had brought with her.

“Anyways, that’s the sum of it,” Spike said, finishing his tale.

‘Okay, that story makes a lot of sense, but I’m still confused about something,’ Smolder thought. ‘Why did the girls decide to marry him out of the blue? None of them, as far as I was aware of, had crushes on him. Something else must be involved in this situation.’

“You three are still in trouble after this, you know that right?” Twilight said with a stern glare on her face.

“Yeah, we know,” Smolder grumbled.

“We should probably go back and take the girls with us and explain what happened,” Queen Mesosoma explained with a sigh.

“As much as I would like too, we’d just be doing a back and forth,” Twilight said as she walked over to the trio. “Is anyone else with you at the moment?”

“No,” Smolder said in annoyance. “Silverstream and Yona are having a double date with Gallus and Sandbar. They’re over in Canterlot right now trying to attend some movie they were doing. We told them about our plan, but they didn’t want to join. It‘s just us.”

“Okay then, if you girls stay on your best behavior while you’re here, you can stay,” Twilight replied, making the girls smile. “But when we get back home, you’ll be punished. This was very risky to do.”

“Yes Miss Twilight,” The three girls replied, their smiles dropping as they realised they still would be punished.

“Just call me Twilight girls, we’re on vacation now,” She answered with a smile.

“Okay, let's gather and put away our things and let's have some fun,” Twilight said to the other girls and they all went and gathered everything they had. Meanwhile, Twilight made a quill and parchment appear in her hands and wrote down the events that transpired. She then used a spell on it, making it disappear with a flash of light, before grabbing her own things and heading over to the others.

‘I just need more time,’ she thought to herself feeling a familiar itch between her legs going insane.

-Canterlot-

“So she snuck off and is now on the island with Spike and his herd,” Novo said, trying to keep a straight face as she read the letter, but she had a vein bulging from her forehead.

“Yes, and it would also seem that Ocellus, Gabby, and Smolder also snuck on with the luggage of the girls as well,” Celestia said with a sigh. “Even if we didn’t anticipate this, you won’t be seeing her for at least two weeks.”

“Why...exactly?” Novo growled, glaring at Princess Celestia.

“The girls are on vacation, and they can’t exactly turn around when the ship is on it’s specific course,” Celestia added. The royal princesses were in a bit of a cold sweat with what was going on, not sure what to say as they didn’t really anticipate this at all.

“So she’ll be gone for two weeks, and you’re certain that nothing bad will happen to her?” Novo asked all three.

“Pretty much,” Cadance added.

Novo was quiet for a couple seconds, before she said, “Would you excuse me for a minute?” She then walked over to the door and opened it, before calmly shutting it behind her after stepping out. Then there was silence.

“Well, I think she took it pretty well,” Cadance replied, before there was a very loud “CRASH!!!! SMASH!!!! BASH!!!” from outside the room. “Nevermind.”
