Date night

Songbird made sure she was completely ready before leaving the bathroom. She had washed her mane, did a full body scrub, washed her tail, ran a file and polish on her nails once she got out of the tub. Finishing by styling her mane just the way she liked it, and put on her bathing suit, making absolutely sure that it only just covered her assets. She exited the bathroom, saw the hot tub froze.

Spike had set up the projector and the screen so they could watch with ease from the hot tub. He had set up multiple bags of chips, cookies, crackers, and candies behind the hot tub with cans and bottles of drinks ranging from soda to tea to water. Spike himself was looking at the movie options, having no idea with one to pick.

"Wow," Songbird said, just loud enough for Spike to hear.

He turned to her, upon seeing her form fitting suit his face turned bright red and he turned back to the reels before him. "So...um movies, we have Daring Do: Ahuizotl return, Power Ponies Reunited, or..." Spike froze as he read the next title and jumped to the next one, his hopes of skipping it died before they even formed.

"Oh no you don't," Songbird said with a devilish grin. "What's the third one?"

Spike sighed as he pointed to the third reel and read its name. "The Crystal Empire: The Lesser-known Story," Spike groaned at the smile on Songbird's face.

"There's a movie about you?" She asked with glee.

"It never got a wide release, only really featured in the Crystal Empire," He looked at her "And I have a hard time believing you didn't have it put on this ship,"

Songbird gave a somewhat innocent smile, "I asked to have any books or public recording of you put in our room so I could check to see if you have any lesser-known achievements," She pointed to the film shelf, "And it looks like you found one for me,"

“Great,” Spike muttered as he put the reel in the projector, Songbird watched in silence as she thought back to Spike’s behavior, he clearly wanted her if that show they just put on was anything to go off of, but at the same time, he was doing a heck of a job of holding her off. Once the reel was set up and Spike made sure the sound was good he started it up and got into the hot tub, he looked over at Songbird and scooted just slightly away.

"Alright Dragon boy," Songbird said as she leaned over to him and dragged him to her side. "You and I need to talk," She used a nearby controller to halt the movie. Spike opened his mouth to say something but Songbird cut him off. "I think it's about time you explain why you're so… resistant."

“Oh,” Spike looked at her for a moment. “Well… you see,” the spot of her mane he figured was hiding her eyes suddenly fascinating. “How do I put this into words,” Songbird sat in silence as Spike fumbled over himself trying to put his concerns into words.

“I have an idea,” Songbird said with a smile.

“And that idea would be?” Spike questioned.

Songbird took a breath and dunked her head into the water, Spike scooched back and sank down as she rose back up with a jiggle. He watched as she used her hands to force her wet mane out of her eyes and looked at Spike, who had now almost fully submerged in the water, his face bright red and steam coming from his nostrils as he stared into her pricing blue eyes. "Ok," Songbird said as she stared down at Spike, "Now, Why-" Spike burst from the water and said in one breath.

"I don't want a relationship based entirely on sex!" He blurted out. Just when he thought it couldn't get much worse his mouth continued, "I want it to be because I like you as a person, I'm just not sure if I actually like you or if I'm just sleeping with you!" Spike took a deep breath and ducked back into the water, now producing so much steam he was hidden in the cloud he was making.

Songbird looked down at him and thought back to all their interactions after meeting him, from kissing him on the stage, showing off her goods behind the divider all the way down to the joint masturbation session they had just had, she looked to the movie and watched Spike waving at the camera, child-like joy shining in his eye at getting his own movie, then back to the Spike hiding in the steam cloud.

Spike jumped a little when Songbird put her hand on his shoulder and smiled sweetly at him. "Spike," She said calmly "Why don't we get to know each other better? On a less intimate level and on a more personal level. I don't think I know anything about you as a person and I'd very much like to."

After a minute the steam cloud evaporated And Spike looked at her with a somewhat suspicious look in his eye. "You're not mad?" he questioned getting a laugh from Songbird.

"Spike the number of colts that have tried to sleep with me purely because I'm a pop star is ridiculous," She laughed for a moment before sighing, "I just ashamed I didn't notice I was doing the same thing," She gave Spike another smile and he rose from the water a little. "I've been trying to get with you because I viewed you like a hero that needed to be rewarded, I think it's about time I started looking at you like a dragon that needs to be loved," Spike was bright red as he rose from the water.

"Well," Spike said after a moment, "one of my favorite movies is the remake of Daring Doo: Ahuizotl return -" Songbird blinked and in unison with Spike added.

"Where they get Ahuizotl to play himself in the movie," Spike looked at Songbird in surprise.

"You know," Songbird said looking at the movie about Spike played, "I'm pretty sure you mentioned that when you were calling out movie options if you want we can watch it together," Spike looked at her for a moment before smiling back. Song quickly adds, "I'd like that very much and I promise no sexy stuff until we get to my vacation home," In an instant, Spike went from being on edge to casually reaching over Songbird and grabbing a soda.
