Spike looked around his room one final time, in his claws he held three bags. One had his clothes packed inside, another was filled to the brim with power ponies comics. But the third and largest bag, overflowed with snacks and sugary drinks. It had taken him a full fifteen minutes to close it. With a nod, he put the full bag of clothes over his shoulder and stacked the snack bag on top of the comic bag. He departed the now clutter free room with them in his arms. Spike closed the door with his tail before saying bluntly, "Don't say a word."

Rainbow Dash froze with a guilty smile above him, in her hand was a sash that read 'getting laid tonight'. "But I bought this just for you!" She whined waving it around.

"I don't care," Spike replied as he made his way down the hall. "I don't want to give Songbird Serenade any ideas."

"Don't be like that." Rainbow replied whilst putting the sash over herself, "I know for a fact that you love every second you spend around her."

"Can't prove it," Spike replied simply.

Rainbow smirked, "Dude let's be real, we both know that I know where your clop stash is."

"And we both know that that Songbird doesn't do clop," Spike replied looking up at her, the glimmer in her eye made him frown.

"True, but I know that she just loves to do some light swimwear modeling."

Spike froze, the memory of yesterday flashing in his mind. "I don't think I have any swimwear magazines," Spike had replied. Now his face burned red.

"Oh, I bet you thought AJ and I missed your talk with Pinkie and Twilight," Rainbow chuckled, "You never did answer them." She leaned in with a mischievous smile, "Did you see anything?" Spike's reaction was all the answer she needed. He thought back to Songbird's breasts showing through the divide. A steady column of smoke arose from his nose. Rainbow laughed as she glided to the ground "Oh! What did you see? Top, bottom, or all of it?" She flirtatiously inquired.

Spike took a deep breath as they made it to the top of the stairs. "It is none of your business," He gruffly responded.

Rainbow's laugh echoed through the halls of the castle.

Songbird had made all the necessary preparations. She had taken a month off, notified the ship's crew that she and Spike would be arriving that evening. After some extensive research on Spike, she had a very special surprise on the ship just for him; something she knew for a fact he would adore. She'd even told the crew to leave her and Spike alone for the entirety of the trip.

Accompanying her to Twilight's castle was one of the crew members, he was hauling her luggage around and the plan was for him to haul Spike's as well.

A fair number of Ponyville residents stopped and stared at her, some took a few pictures, but past that it was pretty easy to get through the town. Her path to the castle was straight, and had no interruptions. The luggage colt waited at the bottom of the stairs as she walked up and knocked on the gigantic front door. She had barely made contact with the colossal thing when Twilight opened it. Inside she found the rest of the mane six waiting. The princess waved her in, and shut the door behind her.

"So..." Twilight said awkwardly, "I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to be all hard on you and such." Twilight waved her hands at her. "Just promise me one thing." Twilight walked over to her and whispered so that none of her friends in the room could hear her. "If things get really serious, I call dibs on being Chief Bridesmaid." Songbird snorted before she could stop herself.

"I promise," She said after Rarity had handed her a tissue. Twilight nodded and turned to the stairs. The pair waited less than a minute when Spike and Rainbow turned the corner at the top of the stairs.

"Dude, you know you want the sash!" Rainbow said as she waved it around her head.

"I do not," Spike replied without hesitation.

"Take it."

"No."

"TAKE IT!"

"NO!"

"Rainbow," Twilight called, "Stop trying to give Spike the sash."

"Never!" Was Rainbow's reply as she landed next to Applejack. Spike made it to the bottom of the massive staircase and was immediately bombarded with goodbye hugs from his friends.

"At least let me put down my bags!" He cried out as the group huddled around him. Songbird held back as laugh as Spike held up his arm and gave her a thumbs up before sinking into the hug. After a minute Spike was freed from the hug once they'd all had a chance to say their goodbyes, take cares, and not so subtle hints to use protection. "Ha-ha-ha," Spike sarcastically laughed as he picked his bags back up and walked over to Songbird.

"I hope you don't mind but Twilight called dibs on being a bridesmaid." Twilight stuck her tongue out at her friends.

"Sorry Twi, Fluttershy called dibs on that like a year ago." Spike interjected. The entire group blinked and turned to her in confusion.

"I've seen him shirtless, not many mares could pass that up. I just want to see the one that stays."

Spike chuckled at the group's reactions to that as he led the way out the door with Songbird now staring at his back. "Well he saw me topless, only fair I get to see him topless too." She thought as she imagined what was under his shirt. Spike walked down the stairs first and met the luggage colt, who looked exhausted.

"My friend you look like shit," Spike expressed.

"Yeah, thanks." The frail pony muttered whilst Spike put his three bags on top of Songbird's five. The luggage colt was ready for the grueling task of carrying the pile to the train, and then to the boat, only for the entire pile to lift up without him.

"Let me just get this for you," Spike decided, "Ain't nothing on Rarity's bags." Songbird had been checking her purse to make absolutely sure she hadn't accidentally packed the train tickets. When she confirmed she had them she looked up to Spike carrying the bags and suitcases with one hand while trying to wave off the thankful luggage colt, who looked as if he was about to start crying tears of joy while he thanked the dragon. Songbird just stared at him in silence, once Spike assured him he would still be getting paid for carrying the bags he flew into the air and left before the dragon could call take-backs. Spike looked at Songbird who was at this point just pointing at him. Spike waved her off too, misunderstanding the look on her face. "It's really no sweat, I've had to deal with heavier, it's just balancing that's hard." Spike put both of his claws under the pile and turned carefully. "Anyways, I'm guessing we're going by train right?"

"Could you take off your shirt, please?!" Her mind screamed at him internally as she nearly swooned.
