The Sphinx sat awkwardly at the table, across from her sat Starlight, Spike was currently working and, just to make sure no mischief took place in his absence, he'd asked the Sphinx to try and get to know Starlight, who had agreed to watch the Sphinx after Spike cashed in a favor. Starlight was wearing her PJ's, it was her day off and she hadn't really had anything prepared for the day, so the two were sitting in silence, neither knowing what to say to the other.

"So..." Starlight said after what felt like an hour of awkward silence "Would you like something to drink?"

"I'm good thanks." The Sphinx replied as she stared hard at the door, waiting for Spike to come back and end this boredom,

"If you want to go we can..."

"No, no I'm good." The Sphinx replied instantly "When he made the rules Discord added a large number of bullshit ones just to fuck with me, Spike told me I have to stay with you till he gets back, which means that until such time as he and I are in the same room again I am now tethered to you." Before Starlight could reply the Sphinx added "Which means if you saw the wrong thing in the wrong way it could end up pretty poorly for you, the same could be said for Spike, so between you and me, try and avoid saying the phrase, fuck me, until I'm not tethered to you."

"Noted." Starlight said as she turned to the door, now focusing on how to phrase her words to avoid being raped. "Let's go return you to Spike." She decided, the looming prospect of one word turning her world into living hell too much for her to handle as she got up "Come on." The Sphinx happily got up and followed the mare out of the room, Starlight lead her up down the hall.

"So how did you and Spike meet?" The Sphinx asked as they walked. Starlight thought out her words carefully before saying.

"I tried to Kill Twilight, then decided not to, then we became friends a while after I moved in" The Sphinx nodded

"Seems about right." a few stairs and a few minutes later they arrived at the Libary, The Sphinx looked around, then heard Spike's voice from above.

"Oh hey," he called, The Sphinx looked up and found Spike cleaning one of the Windows above the bookshelves, precariously perched on the top of the bookshelf to do his task, he had his Hoddie tied around his waist leaving him shirtless "I've still got a couple of dozen Windows left to clean before..."

"How in Equestria did you get up there?" The Sphinx asked as she looked up at him, making a mental note to give him a shirt the next time she materialized clothes on him.

"I flew up here," Spike said simply, the Sphinxes eyebrows shot up before he added, "I have wings." Before the Sphinx could ask Starlight called out.

"Forget the wings, Spike when did you get Abs!?" Spike blinked and extended his wings so the Sphinx could see them.

"Hard work and Twilight's forced household dieting plan," He said simply before adding "And I'm guessing you missed my wings due to not looking at my back and being more focused on...other things." The Sphinx just stared at him for a moment before Starlight cleared her throat.

"Am I good to...?" The Sphinx shook her head.

"Yeah, soon as I saw him you were good to go." Starlight looked up at Spike, who had tucked his wings back into his back and gone back to window washing, the task itself was long, but past experience had proven to both her and Twilight that Magic plus window's usually ended with poorly. with the exception of Discords magic." when that realization, she turned to the Sphinx.

"as a thank you for the warning." She said as the Sphinx turned to her "I'm gonna see if I can get you some." The Sphinx's ears perked at that as Starlight walked forward and called to Spike.

"Are you doing it Counter Clockwise?" Spike froze.

"I thought Twilight wanted them done Clockwise!" he called back in a slight panic.

"No, she said that left smudging."

"Of couse it left smudging, I suck ass at this job! We all do!"

"Well, she said if it wasn't done clockwise..." Spike frowned, his only reply was a swift kick of his bucket, which fell to the floor and left a puddle.

"Well fuck me then, guess I get to..." Spike blinked at the window, it had been half cleaned when Starlight had stolen his attention, and it was now fully cleaned. "...Discord I swear to Celestia if you're fucking here..." A shadow covered Spike and he turned to look up at the Sphinx who was grining ear to ear.

"If you insist!" She said happily as she picked Spike up, as soon as the fur on her arm touched his back he felt all the stress of the day melt away.

"You're like the worlds coziest massage chair." he murmured before he fully processing what she had said. "Wait...what did I insist you do?"

"Oh come on now." The Sphinx said sweetly before leaning close to him "We all heard you ask for someone to fuck you, and I call dibs." Spike's eye's shot up.

"But if Twilight finds out I ditched my chore list."

"This one?" The Sphinx asked holding up said list "Casue if so everything on it is done."

"Explain how your magic works!" Spike demanded, "So that I may fully exploit it."

"Now, now Spike, one task at a Time, let's you and me go enjoy the confort's of your bed." The Sphinx dropped down and landed, without a sound, on the floor, the Puddle dissipated and the Bucket hopped back to where it belonged, just before leaving the Sphinx looked over to Starlight, who was smiling as she waved at them. "Starlight your the Maid of Honor now." She called back simply before leaving the room. Starlight nodded to that.

"You're Welcome."

This not only my most liked story but the one with the most hate in the comments, I get that I suck at Literature you can all stop telling me to get an editor, I have one working on the story so please stop.

also, Fluttershy and Discord will both play bigger roles as the story goes on.
