Spike's Mates

It was a long day, but finally the sun has gone down and now the Fall Formal could begin. Ponies from all over Equestria were in attendance, including Black Marble. A white unicorn stallion with a black mane and tail wearing a formal suit and a cocky look that would make anypony come up and slap it right off him, of course, anypony would have a cocky smile if they scored a date with a member of the royal family. If he played his cards right, he just might get lucky and be one of the few stallions who can say they'd slept with the princess. Who knows, she might end up wanting an actual relationship with him afterwards. Black Marble entered the ballroom where multiple ponies of Equestria either conversed or danced with their partners to the music of the band. "Hmm, Celestia must not be here yet." he said. "Maybe she's getting ready to make a grand entrance." He chuckled to himself before heading over towards one of many table and grabbed himself something to drink while he waited for his date.

On the other side of the room, Rarity and the others, minus Rainbow Dash and Dizzy, made their way into the ballroom; to the astonishment of the other guests. Each one of them wore form fitting dresses that really showed off their curves; each one representing their cutie marks in a way that only Rarity could design it. Not to mention that their dresses showed off way more cleavage than they would've liked, at least, that's how Fluttershy felt. She was a bit embarrassed and didn't like how she was getting stares from the other stallions; not helped by the fact that all of their breasts jiggled slightly as they walked. She wished that Big Mac would hurry up, park that carriage, and get in here already. Rarity, being Rarity, enjoyed all the attention she was getting and didn't mind showing off a bit, while Applejack looked annoyed at the whole thing. Pinkie couldn't wait to start having fun while Starlight kept a lookout for Sunburst along with anything the seems suspicious; ignoring some of the stallions calling out to her. About an hour before the event started, Twilight was called by Celestia so that she and the other royals could officially start the Formal together.

****************************

Spike sat alone on a bench in the hallway waiting for the others to come out. "Geez, just what are they doing?" he asked himself. "The ceremony's starting already, and these clothes aren't getting any looser." The royal uniform Spike wore consisted of a black pair of dressed pants and matching shoes, while the top was a red garment with a blue sash and three medals. The first one was that of the Sun, and last one was that of the moon, and the middle was in the shape of a dragon. Spike hated wearing this outfit as it was sometimes tough to move in, but he was representing the royal family each time he wore it so he had no choice but to deal with it. Spike soon heard the sound of somepony approaching. Looking up he saw Shining Armor; wearing a similar outfit as him only his was more blue. Just like Spike, Shining also wore medals on his uniform; the sun, the moon, and the middle one what that of his cutie mark.

"They're still in there?" he asked.

"Unfortunately." Spike replied.

"Well, you know how mares are with their makeup." Shining joked.

"Tell me about it." came Blueblood's voice. Both Spike and Shining turned to see the prince coming out of a room with Stardust right behind him. The captain of royal guard had a blush on her face as she hurried to fix her mane as well as her clothes. Blueblood wore the same uniform as Spike and Shining, only his was black and gold. Instead of three medals on his uniform, he had five. The sun and moon, his cutie mark, a medal representing the Wonderbolts, and medal representing the Royal Guard. "Celestia always take forever and a year to get ready for something." he said. "Wouldn't surprise me if SHE'S the one holding them up in there."

"I heard that!" came Celestia's voice. One by one, each of the alicorn princesses walked out of the room looking absolutely beautiful. The first thing Spike noticed was the makeup they wore that just added to their beauty as well as the form fitting, sparkling dresses they wore; especially Celestia. The white fabric looked to be barely hanging onto her body; especially those massive melons she calls breasts. Spike was probably the only one to notice, but he could clearly see the top part of Celestia's areolas. She obviously dressed that way for him and not for her "date"; a date that Spike wanted to rip limb from limb for ever daring to approach her. "Well everypony, let's go." Celestia said cheery. As the royal family began to make their way down the hallway, Spike looked over at Celestia and witnessed her breasts slightly bouncing which each step she took; watching as her areolas were becoming more visible. He soon grabbed her hand and began to walk slower with her; allowing the others to go ahead of them a bit. Celestia looked over at her lover and knew he wanted to talk about something. "What is it Spike?" she asked.

"I can see them." he said.

"See what?" Celestia asked; confused as to what he was talking about. Spike simply pointed at her breasts and Celestia looked down where she saw both areolas were becoming exposed. She gasped then quickly used her hands to cover up in a reflex as her face turned red. The others either didn't notice or just didn't want to say anything and watch her get humiliated in front of large crowd of ponies. Now that she thought about it, Luna was giggling non stop as they got dressed, so she had to have known how the dressed looked. Well, before the night is over, she'll get what's coming to her. Spike moved in front of Celestia and removed her hands so he could fix her dress for her. Gently grabbing the fabric, he slowly pulled it upwards right over them; bouncing those orbs in the process. Celestia smiled at him and gave give a well earned peck on the cheek.

"Can I be honest with you?" he spoke up.

"What is it?" Celestia asked.

"I don't like this date you're on." he confessed. "I feel like if I see him, i'll do something I won't be able to take back."

Celestia pulled Spike into a reassuring hug. "Oh, Spike, do have nothing to worry about." she said. "Like I told you earlier, I won't let it go too far. We'll most likely dance, and talk all night, but that's it. I promise you, you're the only one I have eyes for." Hearing those word bought the dragon some semblance of peace of mind, but he still couldn't help but be angry at the situation. Still, he had no reason to not trust Celestia. She's never lied to him before, and would never start now. Grabbing his arm and rubbing her breasts against him, the couple continued their walk towards the ballroom.

****************************

In the castle dungeon, Spear Hook snuck up behind a fellow guard and knocked him out with a strike on the back of his neck. He pulled the guard to sit up against the wall, and out of the way as he prepared to do something completely reckless. The key the guard hand on him, was a magical key that could open all the jail cells at once if the wieldier wills it; which what he was going for. "I'll release all these criminals at once, and while they keep the guards distracted, I can get my mistress out of that room." he thought. There was just one problem with this plan is his......there weren't anypony in the cells. The only ones in there, were the three dragon guards who were with Amethyst a week ago. It wasn't what he was hoping for, but at least it was something. Keeping out of sight, Spear Hook used the key to unlock the jail cells of the dragons. The dragon guards were confused as to why their cells opened up suddenly, but didn't question it. They took this time to make their escape and hopefully find out where their princess was being held. As the three dragons ran out of the dungeon, Spear Hook hid in the shadows and waited until the coast was clear before he made his move. He went over to the guard he knocked out and shook him awake. "Hey, get up." he said. The guard let out a groan and grabbed the back on his neck.

"W-What hit me?" he asked.

"Looks like those dragons got you good." Spear stated.

"Dragons?" asked the guard. "Wait.... the prisoners?!"

"Yeah, looks like they made an escape." Spear explained.

"But how, the cells could only be opened with the magic gate key." he said.

"Guess we underestimated how resourceful these dragons are." Spear said as he helped the guard up.

"We need to warn everypony." the guard said. He was about to head out, but stopped when Spear grabbed him.

"No, we don't want to alarm everypony; especially with the Fall Formal going on." he said. "Gather as much guards as possible and have them search around Canterlot. I doubt they'll want to be around the palace where everypony can see them."

"Good idea." said the guard as he took off without a moment to waste. A smirk soon appeared on Spear's face as now his plan was in motion. All they was needed now was to head back to Amethyst's room and get her out of there.

****************************

The ballroom erupted with cheers as the royal family made their grand entrance. Almost immediately they were surrounded by the nobles and the super rich from Manehattan who were just waiting to talk to them. Right as it was starting to get overwhelming, Black Marble pushed through the crowd and grabbed Celestia's hand. "Hey there, i've been waiting for you." he said with a wink. "So, shall we get started." A second later, and he pulled the princess away; much to Spike's irritation.

Twilight noticed her friends in the background, grabbed Spike, and began to make her way towards them, but not before being approached by three stallions who all believed they might have a shot with her since Stargazer was dead. Before they could say anything, Spike gave them the evilest death glare anypony had ever seen and they quickly backed off. Celestia being off on a date with somepony had really put him in a bad mood, however, his mood quickly changed once he saw Applejack and immediately felt nervous as he approached her. The two of them hadn't spoken since he removed his mark from her, and he wonder if she was still angry at him for forcing her to have an orgasm; even though he honestly thought she was enjoying it. "H-Hey, Apple......."

*BONK*

Yep, she was still angry.

"Oh, Applejack, stop giving Spike a hard time." said Rarity. "You know he didn't mean to do what he did."

*BONK*

Applejack chuckled as she passed Spike; leaving the dragon to believe that she'd already forgiven him and that she's just doing this to mess with him. Pinkie moved close to Spike, grabbed a hold of his arm, and began walking with him before Applejack could "bonk" him again. "Come on, Spike, let's dance!" she said. Without much choice, Spike went along with her; the others soon following behind them.

On the other side of the dance floor, out of Spike's view, Celestia and Black Marble danced to the tune of the band playing. The way the two of them moved seemed like they've been dance partners for years; with the other stallions looked on in jealousy as they watched Black dance with the number one sexiest mare in Equestria. At least he doesn't have Princess Luna dancing with him as well, then a war would've most definitely broken out. Speaking of Luna, it seems she was busy having a conversations would some would-be suitors. Little did they know, she was already taken. As Celestia and Black danced, the rich stallion couldn't help but continuously stare at the mare's breasts. The way they swayed which each of her movements was almost too much for him to bare, not to mention, with her being taller than him, those tits were right in his face. Celestia rolled her eyes as he barely looked her, and let out a heavy sigh as she felt his hand start to move from her waist towards her plot. Thankfully, the music ended before he could get that far, and if he did, then he would have one burnt hand. Either that, or the jealous stallions would've stormed the floor. The crowd applauded and the two of them walked off the dance floor and towards one of the many buffet tables. "Let me get you a drink, princess." he suggested. Admittedly, Celestia was a bit thirsty, so she answered him with a nod. Black was only gone for a minute before he came back with two full cups.

Celestia thanked him and started drinking along with him. It wasn't long before her eyes shot opened and she stopped to look at the drink. "I-It can't be." she thought. "This is......." She couldn't finish that thought as started to become a bit light headed.

"You alright princess?" Black asked as he took a quick sip of his drink. It was then he realized that the drink wasn't just any normal drink, it was Hard Avalanche Cider; a special kind of cider that had more alcohol in it than the normal one the Apple family makes. Even the strongest of ponies could become a drunken mess after just one small drink. Looking over at Celestia, Black saw that her face was started to turn red, her eyes looked droopy, and she began giggling out of nowhere. The princess was now drunk, and after one small sip, he started feeling a but tipsy himself.

Over at another table, Blueblood started pouring Stardust a drink when he caught a whiff of something from it. Putting the cup to his nose he began sniffing it; the face he made was one of complete horror. "Is something wrong, Blue?" she asked.

"Avalanche." he whispered.

"What?" she wondered.

"It's Avalanche Cider!" he said. Looking around, the prince saw multiple ponies with the drink in their hands. This was gonna be a disaster if anyone of them drank it. With his horn glowing, the prince quickly froze the entire room. He had to move quickly as the spell wouldn't last long. The prince teleported himself around the entire ballroom; grabbing cups out of everypony's hand and bringing them all to one place. He then hurried and went around every concession table he could and grabbed the giant bowls of cider and brought them outside where he dumped them. By the time he finished doing all that, he was exhausted and the spell wore off. Most of the ponies began looking around confused as they swore they just had a beverage in their hands. And just what in the world was the strange blur they all seemed to witness. Stardust was just as confused, but that was mostly as to why Blueblood seemed out of breath all of a sudden when he was just fine a second ago, and what's this about Avalanche Cider? Nopony would be crazy to bring that stuff to a formal event like this......would they?

****************************

Spear Hook had made it back to Amethyst's room, and by the looks of it, the guards that were stationed here were nowhere to be seen. Good, that meant everything was going according to plan. He opened the door and entered the room where he found his mistress sitting on the bed. "My mistress, come with me." he said taking a knee with glowing eyes. "I don't know how much time we have left before they come back."

"And where are we going?" she asked as she got up from the bed.

"I know a place where I can hide you until I can reunite you with Master Spike." he explained; standing up. "But we need to go now."

"Well then, lead on." she said.

****************************

Celestia giggled non stop while stumbling over her feet as Black held her up. "I can't believe she's this drunk." he thought. "She didn't even drink that much of it, but I guess that's just the power of Hard Avalanche Cider." Black was able to sneak out of the ballroom before anypony noticed a drunk princess and ended up going down the hallway. The plan was to get her out of the ballroom as soon as possible and bring her to her room so she could at least lay down before she hurts herself.

"I'm soooo hot." she half moaned. "Hey, help me take these off."

"Maybe when we get to your room." he answered. "Which way is it?"

"That way....or maybe that way." she said. "I don't remember." Suddenly, she burst out into laughter before bumping into the wall. Spear pulled her back up and continued walking with her.

Back in the ballroom, the guests were all looking around with confusion written on their faces. First, some black, white, and yellow blur ran passed them, then for some reason, all the drinks were taken away, and now, the punch bowls on the tables were gone. Not far from them, Luna located Blueblood and confronted him. "So, mind telling me what that was all about?" she said. "Why did you freeze everyone then move around like a mad stallion?" Like Celestia, nothing could get passed Luna, especially when somepony uses magic in a certain way.

"A-A-Avalanche." he panted. "C-Cider."

"Why would there be Avalanche Cider at the formal?" she asked.

"Maybe somepony made a mistake?" Stardust suggested.

"A huge one." Luna replied. "At least nopony appears to have drinken any. I'll have to have a talk with the staff later."

Over with Spike, he and Twilight walked together and eventually made it outside onto the castle garden what the others were preoccupied. Looking up into the night sky, the stars shined brightly along with full moon. Twilight swore that she saw a shooting star and tried to point it out to Spike, but in her haste, she tripped and was about fall into the small pond but Spike grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. "You okay?" he asked.

"Y-yeah, fine." she said; slightly embarrassed. The was a moment of silence between the two of them as they looked deeply into each other's eyes. Time seemed to stop for the two of them as they reflected on everything that brought them to this point. His attack, Stargazer, and Amethyst's betrayal, the beach games in Baltimare, his cycle, everything that's happened has brought the two of them that much closer together, and now, they're mates, at least for now they are. Before the night is over, Spike will release Twilight; though some part of him was hoping that she'd want to stay. At least he still had Luna and Celestia though.

"Spike?" Twilight said in a soft tone; breaking the silence between them. Twilight wanted to say something to Spike, but that had to be put on hold as Cadence entered the garden calling out to the both of them. She looked to be in a hurry by the way she sped walked towards them, however, Spike's eyes were instantly glued to her bouncing breasts. If she weren't careful, they were break free from their imprisonment; something Spike wouldn't mind seeing.

"There you are." she said panting. "I've been looking everywhere for you."

"What's wrong?" asked Twilight.

"Twilight, I need your help!" she answered with urgency. "It's Shining Armor! Somehow, he managed to get a hold of Hard Avalanche Cider and he's currently making an ass of himself!"

****************************

Inside the ballroom, Shining stood on stage with his clothes barely hanging on to him, his mane an absolute mess, and his eyes bloodshot with a barrier around him as held up a microphone and started singing.

Use a sword! Thank the Lord! Fucking Cool! Oh my Gawd! Me gusta! I'm not gay, no FUCK YOOOOOOOU! Watch my Erectile dysfunction fall hard.....to the Floor!

Dovahkiin!

Dovahkiin!

He's the king of sardines! For the life, for the food, for my RAGIING COCK! Did you know the princess, is fucking her son?!

Dovahkiin! He's my King! Of Sovngarde!

****************************

Spike remembered hearing about Avalanche Cider somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where or when. All he knew was that he was the most power cider in Equestria that not even the strongest of ponies could handle. Just how did it managed to get in the formal? Did somepony on staff mess up?

"Let's go, Spike." Twilight said as she started to light up her horn. Before the three of them could leave, Spear Hook came running up towards them.

"W-Wait, Master Spike, I've been looking for you!" he called.

"Hey, you're.......Spear Hook, right?" he said.

"I'm glad you remember me." he said. "I have news from the Princess. She wishes to see you."

Spike knew it couldn't have been Celestia since she was on that "date" with that other stallion, so it had to be Luna. Twilight felt the same way as she grabbed Spike's arm. "You better go see what The Princess wants." she suggested. "I'll steal you back later." After receiving a small peck on the cheek from Twilight, Spike followed Spear deeper into the garden. Twilight felt uneasy leaving Spike alone, but least he'll be with Luna until she gets back. Lighting up her horn, both princesses teleported away.

Spike continued to follow Spear until they came to an opening with a park bench. "Please have a seat, the princess will be hear shortly." the guard said. Spike did just that; taking a seat on the park bench while Spear took his leave. "I wonder what Luna's planning?" Spike said. "Maybe a special moment for just the two of us."

"You're right, it is a special moment." came a familiar voice that caused Spike to jump from his seat. His eyes widen while his heart managed to skip a beat. Slowly walking out of the shadows, was none other then Amethyst.

"Hello again, Spike." she said.
