Spike stood alone in the entranceway to the castle, silently staring at the front door, after well over an hour of hot tub sex he had finally thrown the white flag and left his mates to meet the Pegasus Sphinx had promised him to, Sphinx herself was spending some personal time with Starlight over a cup of tea to talk about her marriage.

Chrysalis meanwhile had taken the dive and was now talking to her now fairly pissed children along with Twilight, who was so chill that Spike was confident his sister was either drunk or had used a spell on herself that equated to a real-life chill pill so she wouldn't get a stress-induced heart attack, either way, she was neither yelling nor giving a lecture so Spike had taken his moment and gotten out of doge, knowing full well that the second the effect wore off she'd probably be back to her good old self again.

He had been standing in the room for around 9 minutes waiting for the Wonderbolt who had sold a mountain for him, something he felt he was confident was complimentary. His waiting was interrupted by a knock on the door, he opened it and finally meet face to face with the Wonderbolt who had sold the mountain. The Two silently gave one another a once over before she spoke

"So you must be Spike," She said offering him her hand "I'm High Winds,"

"Oh, um hello," Spike said as she shook her hands, "Nice to meet you,"

"We've actually met," She replied as she walked in.

"We....we have?" Spike asked as he tried to wrack his memory for a time where he had meet a white Wonderbolt with a Blue mane, after failing to do so he gave in "When did we meet exactly?"

"I was one of the Wonderbolts who was called in when you went on a rampage throughout Ponyville, you trapped me, Suprise, and Blaze between a Water tower and the Mountain I sold to your wife" the look on Spike's face was almost comical.

"I did that?" He asked in shock as he scratched his face, "Also she's not technically my Wife yet," Spike wasn't entirely sure what to do next so he did the only thing he could think to do, "Um...would you like to go out to eat," the sheer uncertainty of his voice made High Winds look back at him, "Look out of all the mares I'm engaged to I had basically no prep time with any of them, Sphinx was trying to invade the castle and I ended up winning her in a bet, Chrysalis was a contractual obligation, and Starlight just kind of came along with the ride, Sphinx literally didn't tell me you were coming till about 2ish hours ago, and then instead of letting me prepare I got pulled into an angry debate with Chrysalis and then an orgy, I have had no time to set anything up for you," High winds looked at Spike and then shrugged.

"So what I hear if you're in need of an actual date," Spike thought for a second.

"I had lunch with Sphinx and the princesses," Spike tried before deflating "That ended up turning into Sphinx planing an orgy after our marriage," Spike thought for a good long second before standing tall, "I think do need an actual date,"

"Well then good news Dragon," High Winds said as she took his arm and lead him back to the front door, "I already have one set up, the Sphinx made it pretty clear she was gonna forget to tell you about me, what with her forgetting my name three times and just calling me a Wonderbolt, I figured at most you'd have no idea who your wife had sold you to, as she made fairly clear just as she was leaving she hadn't gotten your approval," as the two where talking they made their way out of the front door, Spike was wearing the collar Chrysalis had given him and had gone from looking casual to looking casual with a little red bowtie, High winds had a wet jacket tied around her waist and was wearing a Tank-top

"I told her she could do it once, and you where that once, besides you sold a mountain for me, feels like something I should take as a compliment,"

"I was hesitant," High Winds replied with a shrug "But then she showed me a few...choice picks," High Winds gave Spike another once over "Your choice in baggy clothes is not doing you any favors, you must have a hell of a workout routine and diet,"

"Well...my job as being the only paid staff in a castle does keep me fairly active, or at least it use to, Sphinx said my chore list was bull shit and I wasn't allowed to do it anymore, and I did have a fairly healty diet, but then Sphinx made it so it didn't matter so I'd keep making her less than healthy foods," High winds took that in as they reached Ponyvilles border.

"So what I'm hearing," She said once her pondering was done "Is that not only do I get to bang a dragon, but I can eat Cheeseburgers again without moderation?" Spike nodded.

"Basically that is what you've agreed to," Spike thought for a moment before adding "Also don't tell anyone but I don't think she's gonna let any of us age," the look on High winds face was about what Spike expected "She doesn't age herself and I doubt she's gonna let someone she likes to have sex with get too old to play with her," High winds didn't reply for a long moment.

"You do know that this date has just become somewhat pointless right?" She asked as they got to the few restaurants Ponyville had "Cause there's no way in hell I'm passing that up,"

"Yeah, I figured," Spike replied simply, "That said I see no reason why we can't use this time to get to know each other better," Spike looked up at the restaurants they had available "so what are you in the mood for?"


Author's Note

I bet you all thought it was gonna be Spitfire, Well ha! I've already done that ship twice! and yes High winds is an actual character from the show and was one of the Wonderbolts along with Suprise and Blaze who gave Spikezilla a buzz cut and were then defeated by a Water-tower, and before anyone says it, yes it was Blaze not Spitfire in that episode.
