There was a flash and both Spike and Cadance were back in ponyville, Shining approached with a wave,

"So how where things?" He asked Spike stood in silence as Cadance hugged him,

"Just reminding Spike of an old arrangement he forgot about," She said, "Remember when we struck that...less than easy peace with Chrysalis?" Shining shook his head,

"I still don't know how you convinced her into signing that peace treaty,"

"The short story is Spike and Chrysalis are in an arranged marriage, It's not gonna be happening for a long, long time but they both agreed to it," Cadance smiled as she walked past Shinning "Anyway he's all yours," With that she left to disperse the soldiers and unblock the street. Spike watched her leave in silence when Shining put his arm on Spike's back and lead him to the nearest bar he could find, The two sat down, got their drinks, and took a good hard swig of their pints before Shining Spoke.
"so Spike, not only are you marrying a Sphinx, congratulations by the way, but you're also engaged to Chrysalis."Shining chuckled a bit as Spike slammed down a pint of beer. "I do not envy you."
"I love you but you aren't helping." Spike grunts as he waved at the Bartender

"How can I help you Sunshine?" He asked

"Refill," He asked politely, Shinning put his still mostly full cup down and looked over at Spike
"On the contrary, I'm buying the beer" he pointed out.
"Okay, now that helps a little," Spike said with a smile, the Bartender refiled Spikes drink and he proceeded to chug it down,
"Spike pace yourself," Shinning added as Spike drained the pint with ease "Just casue I'm paying doesn't mean you need to waist yourself," Spike licked his lips,

"Sorry, just been a while since I've had a drink," he said as he let the alcohol hit him "Got engaged, got attacked by a shark, then Cadance reminded me of the..."

"I'm sorry," Shining interrupted "You're just gonna say 'attacked by a shark' and not even give me a full second to that it in?" Spike drank the last of his cup, and proceded to tell Shining about Discords attempt at banishing the Sphinx, as the two talked Cadance had fully cleared the street, had told her soldiers what time they would be leaving, and left them with about an hour to go get lunch before leaving, she then made her way to the castle and both she and Twilight where now sitting across from Sphinx and Starlight. Twilight was silently rubbing her forehead as Cadance finished talking.

"I always wondered what you offered her that enticed her enough to agree on a peace treaty," Starlight said as she took the information up, "I guess she saw Spike as a permanent food source or something," There was small noise from Sphinx and Starlight turned to look up at her, "She eats Love, and she can shapeshift, so she'd just need to find a form that he loved at..."

"She's going to turn into me?" Sphinx demanded, "Casue if she tried that I better be there, casue that sounds like a hell of a three-way, or would it be a four-way?" Now quit firmly preoccupied with future sex plans Sphinx proceded to be lost in thought as the other three continued talking, "How would a four-way work? maybe Spike would use his hands while one of us..."

"So when is Chrysalis showing up?" Twilight asked

"Well the terms of the contract of their engagement was pretty specific, so she'll probably show up whenever I tell her that the terms have been met,"

"What were the terms?" Starlight asked,

"I'm not at liberty to say," Cadance replied simply "Neither are Spike and Chrysalis so don't ask them casue they are contractually obligated to lie to you,"

"That sounds sketchy as shit," Twilight replied.

"Twilight this Contract was made over 2 years ago, and Chrysalis has kept her side of the deal for the full two years, Spike and Sphinxes relationship is just a coincidence," Cadance gave Twilight a warm smile. Twilight stared at her in silence.

"Alright, you've never given me a reason not to trust you so I'll put my faith in what you're saying, if you're saying it's a coincidence, I'll trust that it's a coincidence," before anyone else could speak Sphinx jumped in

"Starlight in the even of a four-way would you rather be with one of Spike's hands or his tail when his dick is preoccupied?"

"Tail," Starlight answered without hesitation.

-Meanwhile-

"...And that was when Sphinx just kind of appeared and dropped kicked the shark, she then picked it up and ripped me out of its mouth and then she threw the shark away and made a portal in the water, then we arrived back in the castle, Twilight gave me a week of my diet, then Starlight took the teeth out of me and bandaged me up, then we invited her to a three-way," There was a spitting sound and Spike looked over at Shining who was now trying to wipe up the mess he'd made,

"I'm sorry?" Shining asked "Could you repeat that I don't think I heard you right,"

"Sphinx and I invited Starlight to join us in a three-way, then we had ice cream and she agreed, then I made breakfast and then I left to give them some time alone, and then Cadance arrived, then she informed me about Chrysalis, then we came back and you took me to the bar," Spike pointed at himself "Then I told you about the events of today," Spike drained his glass and called for another refill, Shining looked at Spike for a moment,

"So you and this Sphinx meet when she tried to invade the castle right?"

"Indeed we did," Spike replied as his drink was filled up,

"And then you played a game, you won, and now you're engaged?"

"That's pretty much it," Spike confirmed as he took a swig of his freshly capped drink, Shinning sat in silence for a moment,

"Mom and dad want more grandfoals," he said simply,

"Tell them to give me about a week," Spike replied before draining his cup and hiccupping, "Refill please,"
