Chapters Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
"Ugh, what the hell happened to me?" Asked Spike Drako, a 6 foot 3, 22-year-old college grad, with emerald green eyes and messy spiked hair. He was celebrating his graduation, by traveling the world for a year before he started looking for a job. But right now, he was somewhere unknown to him. He looked around, all he saw were trees and the smallest hints of sunlight beaming down to the ground. Spike was sitting on the ground, propped up against a tree. "Where am I?" Spike tried to rub his head with his hands, but something was off, only half of his head was being rubbed.
Spike looked to his left, he saw his arm, but then he looked to his right. He didn't see his hand, in fact, there wasn't anything past his elbow. "Ahhh!" Yelled Spike, he tried to get up, but the moment he tried to push off of the tree, he fell to the right.
Spike hit the ground, but he was able to mostly catch himself before he got really hurt. 'What the hell, why did I fall?' Thought Spike. It took him a moment to figure out that something was really wrong, he looked at his legs, there he saw his left leg, it was perfectly fine, but when he looked at his right leg, he saw most of it, most being the keyword. Spike was missing everything below his knee. "Ahhh!" Cried Spike as he tried to reel back to the tree. "What the fuck happened to me?!" Yelled Spike, he was now hyperventilating.
Spike looked at his body, he looked at where his arm and leg were supposed to be. His shirt sleeve was torn and covered in blood right at his elbow, but nothing was bleeding, the same goes for his jeans, his lower leg was missing right up to the knee, and the surrounding fabric was torn and covered in blood. But the weird thing was that nothing was hurting.
Spike was sitting on the ground, trying to figure out what the hell happened to him. "Ok, the last thing I remember was falling asleep in the hotel room after arriving in Paris yesterday. I left London on the Eurostar headed for Paris. The train arrived in Paris around lunchtime. Before I went to the hotel, I walked around for a while and enjoyed a nice lunch, after that I found the hotel that Dad overseas business partners arranged for me to stay at for the week. I got there around 2 pm, and I was dead tired, so I spent the rest of the day reading about the area and setting up reservations to explore Paris. I ate at the restaurant in the hotel and had a single glass of wine around 7, then I headed back up to my room and fell asleep in the bed."
But now, Spike was sitting in an unknown forest, surrounded by god knows what in terms of wildlife. He had no source of water, food, or shelter, and to top it all off, he was missing his fucking arm and leg. Which was the most confusing thing that has happened to him in the last day.
Spike took a deep breath to calm himself, he was trying to focus on his survival, and the worst possible thing to do in a survival situation is panic. "Ok, first off, I'm a sitting duck right here, god knows what kind of predators call this place home, and right now I'm just waiting to become leftovers." In truth there was actually a lot to be worried about, most of France can be home to wolves, bears, boars, lynx, territorial deer, and snakes. "I need to find a log or something that I can make a leg out of." Said Spike, he looked around, there were a few trees that had fallen, by a storm or by an animal, Spike hoped it was the former. He continued to look around for a way to cut the wood and a way to tie it to his new leg stump. Luckily there was a large group of rocks the size of his fist, he could chip away at them to fashion a small knife that he could use until he found help. Spike then looked up and nearly cried in joy when he saw a large number of vines hanging on the tree he was under.
Spike smiled. "Ok, step one, make a knife to cut the tree's branches off and use it to reach the vines. Step two, use the vines and the branch to make a rudimentary arm. Step three, use the knife to make a leg so I can get out of here as soon as possible. Step four, find help. If I can get all of that done before I'm eaten, I call it a great day."
"Hello, I heard a voice, I'm here to help if that's ok?"
'Or we just jump to the help part, that works too.' Thought Spike. "Hello, yes, I can't move on my own, I'm against a tree with a lot of vines handing off the branches." Responded Spike.
It didn't take long for the unknown person to locate Spike. But when the two saw each other, there were no words to describe the confusion. Standing in front of him was a girl, a butter yellow colored girl with light pink hair. "Um...hi." Said Spike. This made the girl cry and hide behind a nearby tree, but the tree was thin, and it did a horrible job at covering her.
Spike didn't want her to run away, so he tried his best to calm her down and show he wasn't a threat. "Hey don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you." Said Spike.
The girl peeked at Spike to get a good look at him, this gave Spike a great view of her large blue eyes. "Your not?" she asked.
Spike gave a weak chuckle, he showed his missing arm and leg. "Couldn't even if I tried." Said Spike.
The girl nodded but she remained behind the tree. "Are you ok?" Asked the girl.
Spike shook his head. "Not really, I have no idea where I am, how I ended up here, and where my arm and leg went, how far are we from Paris, France?" Asked Spike.
"France, where's that?" Asked the girl.
Spike sighed. "Ok, that's going to take more time to explain than I want to spend in this forest, let's just skip to the part where you help me, I don't know where I am, and clearly I can't get out of here myself." Said Spike as he showed his arm stump again. "Can you go get some sort of medical professional or someone that can at least carry me somewhere safe?"
The girl gasped, she forgot that she was the one here to help the owner of the voice. That's when she realized that instead of helping, she was just standing there frightened. She looked at Spike with determination in her eyes. "Right, I'm sorry, I'll be right back with Harry." Said the girl, she then extended a pair of butter yellow wings from her back and flew into the sky, heading to who knows where.
Spike dropped his jaw, he just saw a yellow girl with pink hair, who apparently had wings, just fly into the sky. Spike started laughing like a crazy man. "I knew it, this is all a dream, I was probably kidnapped from my hotel room, and they took my arm and leg. This must be a delusion because of blood loss." Said Spike. He looked to the sky. "What the fuck did I do to deserve this?!" Yelled Spike.
Spike sighed as his laughter died to a chuckle. He was feeling tired, everything that has happened really exhausted him. "I don't think this could get any worse." He slowly closed his eyes as he accepted his fate. "I love you mom, dad, thanks for everything, I wish I could have seen you one more time." Said Spike as he passed out.
The area was silent, that was until the girl reached Spike. "Harry, over here, and be careful when you pick him up, we're taking him back to the house." Said the girl as she landed near Spike, followed by a large brown bear. The bear nodded as it carefully picked Spike up bridal style. The bear turned around and started walking back, with the yellow girl hovering right next to it.
She looked at Spike. "Don't worry, I know somepony that can help you."
Author's Note
So, yeah this is my newest story, let me hear what you think. I looked around and there weren't that many Spike displacment stories that have him missing limbs. I know there are stories that have either or but to my knowledge not both.
Earlier I posted about Combustion Man from Avatar, there will not be any bending at all it was just a design question, and I will reference it later when Spike gets his new prosthetics.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
"Are you sure Twi?" Asked a voice.
"I am. Sunset even told me that she doesn't know who he is. He wasn't from her world." Said another voice.
Spike groaned at the sound of people talking. "I think he's waking up." Said the second voice.
"He is." Cheered the first voice.
Spike slowly opened his eyes, his head was killing him and his vision was blurred. "Where am I?" Asked Spike. He tried to sit up and look around, but he was pushed back down.
"Hold your horses Sugar Cube, you've been out for a while." Said a third voice.
Spike groaned. "How long?" Asked Spike.
"Twenty Years." Said the fourth voice.
"Rainbow, stop that." Said the fifth voice.
"Sorry, couldn't help it." Said the fourth voice. "You've only been out a few hours, from what Shy told us."
Spike sighed as he tried to rub his eyes. But he was stopped by something white and purple looking over him. "Here, allow me." Said the owner of the fifth voice. She pulled out a rag and wiped Spike's eyes. "There."
Spike opened his eyes and his vision was no longer blurry. Spike smiled at being alive and able to see again. "Thanks. I thought I was going to die out there." Spike laughed. "I even dreamt that I lost both an arm and leg and I was found by a cute yellow girl with pink hair and wings."
"That wasn't a dream, I'm right here." Said the girl as she walked over to Spike and looked down at him. "My name Fluttershy, it's nice to meet you."
Spike looked at Fluttershy and he went limp like a noodle. "Ok, I'm still dreaming, good night." Said Spike as he closed his eyes to go back to dying.
The owner of the fourth voice sighed as she walked over and pinched Spike's cheek. "Hey, you're not getting off that easy, I want some answers."
Spike pulled back as he sat up. "Hey, that hurt." Said Spike. "Wait, why did that hurt?" He looked at his attacker and dropped his jaw at the sight of the occupants of the room. Standing in front of him and still pinching his cheek was a light blue colored girl with a head full of multi-colored hair and a pair of blue wings on her back, her eyes were magenta, and staring at Spike. Spike looked at the white figure that wiped his eyes. She was a pure white girl with a head of royal purple hair done up in curls, but unlike the blue girl, she had a horn coming out of her head, she looked at Spike with her azure eyes, worried about him.
The owner of the third voice sighed and walked over to the blue girl, she pulled her off of Spike and dragged her away. But Spike still saw her, she was a tall orange-colored girl with a pair of emerald green eyes like his, but he only caught a glimpse of them from under her Stetson and her long blond hair. "Rainbow, what did we tell you about not making it worse?"
The blue girl now identified to be Rainbow just rolled her eyes. "Sorry about her." Said The second voice. Spike looked in the direction of the voice and noticed a purple girl, with lavender hair that had a dark purple and dark pink stripe in it. She walked over to Spike and looked at him with her lavender eyes. Spike saw that she had both a horn and wings. Spike started to panic. 'This is clearly some sort of hallucination, there is no way any of this is real.' The purple girl placed her hand on Spike's shoulder. "Calm down, and listen to me. My name is Twilight Sparkle, you already know Fluttershy, the one that pinched you is named Rainbow Dash and she better be sorry for what she did. This is Rarity." Said Twilight as she motioned to Rarity.
"Hello." Said Rarity.
"And the one that removed Rainbow from you is Applejack, but just call her AJ. We have another friend named Pinkie Pie, but we had to tie her up, so she didn't do anything that could have worsened your condition. Is there anything you would like to ask us?"
Spike nodded. "Where am I?" Asked Spike.
Fluttershy walked over to Spike. "You in my home at the edge of Ponyville, I'm the one who found you in the woods."
Spike nodded. "Ok, what are you, girls?"
Twilight nodded. "We're ponies, but to be more specific, AJ and Pinkie are earth ponies, Rarity is a unicorn, Rainbow and Fluttershy are both pegasi, and I am an alicorn. And from what I can tell, you are some sort of human, right?"
Spike nodded. "That's right, my name Spike, Spike Draco."
Twilight smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Spike. Do you remember anything about how you got here?"
Spike shook his head. "No, I just woke up here, missing my arm and leg." Spike looked down at his right arm and leg, they were still missing. "And they still are apparently." Spike sighed as he slumped down.
Twilight sighed. "Hey, I might know someone that can help, but do you have some sort of identification on you?" Asked Twilight.
Spike shot up as he reached for his back pocket, he never left anywhere without his wallet. He pulled out a small tri-fold wallet and looked around for his driver's license. He smiled when he pulled it out. "Thank you for the wallet, Aunt Luna." Said Spike.
"LUNA?!" Yelled Twilight in shock.
Spike nodded as he smiled at his drivers' license. "Yep, my aunt, Luna Solaris, gave me this wallet when I started college." He handed the card over to Twilight hoping that she can help him get home.
But Twilight shook her head. "No need, Sunset won't be any help." She looked at Spike. "Spike, who is your mother?"
"Celestia Solaris, CEO of Canterlot Corp. Why?"
Twilight sighed as she looked at Spike. She looked at Fluttershy. "Fluttershy get Discord here now."
"My Dad's here?" Asked Spike surprised.
Twilight looked frantic. "Get him here now!" Yelled Twilight.
Three seconds later, Discord popped into the room and looked at the group. Twilight was glaring at him, Fluttershy was glaring at him, Spike was confused at him. He looked at Spike and gulped. "What are you doing here Spike, why aren't you in Paris?" He looked at Spike's missing arm and leg. "And what the hell happened to your arm and leg, does your mother know about this?" Asked Discord.
"What the hell are you doing here Dad, I thought you were working in Japan for the month, and why do you look like that?" Asked Spike.
Discord sighed as he looked at Spike. "Spike, I know you probably won't believe this, but I'm not your dad, but I am."
Spike glared at him. "Your right I don't believe you."
Discord groaned as he pulled a large book out of nowhere. "Spike, long ago, ancient powers were creating the universe, I was one of four beings that were formed. But unlike my brother and sisters, I was uncontrollable, so the powers split me up from what I once was, and scattered me throughout all creation. Each universe will always have a Discord in it, for all of the time, but we all carry a special link between us, we share all of our memories and emotions, but we still are our separate beings." Discord opened the book and handed it to Spike. "Each of us who have magical powers can gather these memories." Discord pointed to a photo of a younger Spike laying in a hospital bed with a tall woman with three colored hair and a shorter woman with dark blue hair, all three of them were asleep. "Do you remember that day?" Asked Discord.
Spike nodded. "Yeah, kinda, that was the day I had to get my tonsils out, Mom and Aunt Luna went crazy trying to make sure that I was calm for the procedure, so they spent the night at the hospital with me. You woke us up when you took this picture."
Discord nodded. "That's right, I was also there when you were born when grandma Lilith and grandpa Cosmo died when you graduated from Highschool, and I helped you tie your tie when you went on your first date with that girl, Ember your senior year. How is that going by the way? I don't have much knowledge about it past that summer."
Spike sighed. "We got into different colleges and decided to try long-distance, it didn't last more than 2 months. I never told you or mom about it."
Discord sighed. "Sorry to hear that Spike."
Spike shrugged. "It's fine, we were happy for as long as we were, and I'm glad to of had that time with her."
Discord looked at Spike. "So, do you want the good news or the bad news?" Asked Discord.
Spike sighed. "Let's rip the bandage off now."
Discord chuckled. "That was always your response when given the choice. The bad news is you stuck here for a while."
Spike groaned as he tried to place his face into his hands, but it only worked half as well. "How long?"
"A year or so. Gathering so much magical power to cross realities takes a long time."
Spike sighed. "And my arm and leg?" Asked Spike.
"I can't put them back if that's what you're asking, they're long gone, but I can help you with them later, but not until tomorrow."
Spike nodded. "At least I'll be able to walk again." He looked at Discord. "What's the good news Dad?"
Discord Smiled. "Your mother and Aunt also have memories of different worlds."
Spike smiled. "So they'll know who I am?"
Discord nodded. "Yep, the moment you were born, a node was born as well, that link you to all the Celestia's. And since Luna shares a connection with her sister, she shares one with you as well."
Spike smiled. "So, instead of traveling the world, I got transported to a different universe, missing an arm and leg, and my father is an ancient being that has infinite copies of himself?" Asked Spike.
Discord nodded. "Yep, that pretty much sums it up."
Spike sighed. "You know this is all crazy, right?" Asked Spike.
Discord laughed as he nodded. "Son, I'm the embodiment of chaos, it comes with the job, at least your not meeting your aunt Death, she would be having a field day right now. But your uncle's Life is always working and works in mysterious ways. But don't get me started on Harmony, she was always their favorite, and treated me like a child, its not my fault that I was created one ten-billionth of a second after her." Discord sighed. "Sorry, we don't get along much since I was split up."
Spike wrapped his sorta dad into a half hug. Spike's dad was once part of a big family, but after something happened, Discord left to start a new life. He never talked about it with Spike so he didn't know much more than that. "So, how do you and mom get along here?" asked Spike.
Discord pretended not to listen to the question. "How about I take you to your mother's?" Asked Discord.
Spike sighed. "It couldn't be any worst than what you did back home, I mean, it can't be any worst than the time you almost destroyed Aunt Chrysalis's wedding reception, you got tackled by the bride and nearly ate the bouquet." Aunt Chrysalis was Celestia's best friend and roommate in college. So she was always around and Spike saw her as an aunt.
Discord shivered. "You promised to never talk about that again."
Spike laughed. "I was eight, my attention span was shorter than Aunt Luna's fuse when she is gaming."
Discord chuckled. "I nearly destroyed this world." Said Discord.
Spike looked at Discord shocked. "Magical world, magical being, magical levels of destruction. I still have a stiff neck from my thousand-year prison stent."
Spike sighed. "You know what, I'm going to be stuck here for a year, I'll question that statement later. Let's go see mom."
Discord nodded as he snapped his fingers, teleporting Spike and himself to Celestia, leaving Twilight and the others in Fluttershy's home.
Pinkie Pie, a short and plump, pink-colored girl with wild pink puffy hair, spat out her gag and looked upset. "Hey, why didn't I get any lines up until now?"
All the girls not tied up looked at Pinkie questioningly. "Um... Pinkie, who are you talking to?" Asked Twilight.
Pinkie sighed. "It doesn't matter, I need to get ready for Spike's welcome to Ponyville party." Said Pinkie as she started moving like a caterpillar, leaving the cottage to prepare.
When Spike and Discord appeared again, Discord was pushing a wheelchair-bound Spike down a long hallway. Spike looked around at the decorations. "Um... Dad, does mom have the same decoration style here, this place looks just like the lobby at the office building." Asked Spike.
Discord nodded. "Some things are just hard-wired, no matter the reality." Discord looked down at Spike. "Also Spike, a little heads up, in this universe I and your mother are not married, we were close, but then I went to the dark side and kinda screwed it up. We're on peaceful terms, but it's a slow process."
Spike nodded. "Ok, so what does mom do here, is she still the CEO of a company?" Asked Spike.
Discord chuckled. "Kinda, but she has a little more sway than she does back home."
Discord stopped right in front of a pair of large golden doors. He knocked on the door and waited for it to be opened. It didn't take long for them to be surrounded by a gold aura. Discord smiled as he pushed Spike into the room.
Spike looked at the being sitting on the throne, she was easily seven feet tall, she had a long white horn resting on her snow-white body along with a pair of white wings. But the smile she had, and the caring look in her eyes were classic Celestia. She looked at a group of ponies standing all around the room. "Guards leave us, please?" Asked Celestia.
The room was empty a few moments later, Spike was shocked, his mother had a few security guards in the office, but never three dozen.
Celestia sighed as she stood up from her throne and slowly made her way to Discord and Spike. When she was close enough, Celestia bent down and looked at Spike, giving him her happiest smile. "Hi, baby." Said Celestia as she gave Spike a loving hug.
Spike chuckled. "Hey, mom." Said Spike as he gave her the best hug he could. "Sorry I never called you or dad when I got into Paris, but I got a great excuse."
Celestia smiled as she released the hug, that's when she first noticed that Spike was missing a few parts. "SPIKE! Where is your arm?" Asked Celestia in shock.
Discord and Spike sighed. Spike's Celestia was powerful, smart, kind, and a great cook, but she was also known for overreacting like no other. Discord grabbed Celestia's arms. "Celestia, stop shaking Spike, it looks like he lost them when he was transported."
"THEM?!" She looked at Spike and she started to cry when she saw the state of her child.
Spike sighed, he never liked to see his mother cry, it made him feel useless. But thankfully he always had a way to make Celestia smile. "Hey mom, guess what I found?" Asked Spike.
Celestia kept crying but she looked at Spike. She wiped her eyes and nose. "What?"
Spike smiled. "Nothing, just the best mom ever."
Celestia smiled as she wrapped Spike into another hug. "Hey Spike, guess what I found?" Asked Celestia.
Spike smiled. "What?" Asked Spike.
Celestia giggled. "Nothing, I just wanted to show you some love, but I couldn't fit it in the door."
Spike smiled. "You look gross when you cry you know?"
"Shut up, or you're going to see the tickle monster tonight." She pulled back from the hug and wiped her eyes again. "Thanks, Spike."
Spike smiled at his mother, but he noticed some people were missing, he looked around. "So where's Aunt Luna and cousin Cadance, last I heard from them, they were taking a mother-daughter vacation to Brazil along with Cadance's new fiancé." Asked Spike.
Discord sighed as he snapped his fingers and teleported Cadance, her husband, their baby, and her mother to the throne room.
Luna was the same as she was back in Spike's world, shorter than her sister, dark blue hair, and a controller in her hands, but she was now sporting a pair of dark blue wings and a horn. Next to her was her daughter, Cadance, with a pair of pink wings and a horn, but she was also holding a little infant in her arms, and next to her was a tall man with white skin and a long white horn and blue hair.
Luna looked at Discord and glared at him. "Discord, I was about to hit a new high score, why did you teleport me?" Asked Luna.
"Yes, we were in the middle of an important budget meeting for the empire's trade routes. Now we're going to have to reschedule it." Said Cadance.
Discord sighed. "Look, it's not my fault this time, but somehow Spike got teleported into this universe and is stuck here for a year or so. He's missing an arm and leg. I just thought that he would like to see some familiar faces."
Luna sighed. "Which universe, my link to the others aren't as strong as yours or Celestia's?" Asked Luna.
"Well, I'm their son, you're my aunt, Cadance doesn't have a kid." Spike looked at Cadance. "She's adorable by the way, and I have no idea who the guy is."
Luna sighed. "Ok, sorry Spike, it's a jumble of memories, and they're not always so clear." Luna looked at Cadance. "And you young lady, I could hear everything last night, I know you too are engaged but at least be quiet and stop moaning, I do not want to hear my daughter at night."
Cadence blushed. "Sorry mom, wait, why am I apologizing, that wasn't me."
Discord laughed. "It was and it wasn't, I know you and that world's Cadance are linked, but compared to me, Celestia, and Luna your connection is very weak. I doubt that Flurry Heart will even be able to see the connections. But if you would kindly look at your cousin, you will notice that he is missing an arm and leg."
Cadence and Luna both looked at Spike and finally noticed that he was missing his arm and leg. "WHAT HAPPENED?" Yelled both Cadance and Luna.
Spike sighed. "Long story short, I have no clue, I only know about my world, nothing about this one. I woke up in a forest missing my arm and leg, and I stopped mom from crying a river. Dad popped you two in and that's about it. Oh, and I met some girls about 20 minutes ago."
Luna took a deep breath. She walked over to Spike and pulled him into a hug. Cadance did the same. Spike smiled as he returned the hug. "Thanks, guys."
They pulled back and looked at Spike. "So, what are we going to do about this whole missing arm and leg thing?" Asked Luna.
Discord smiled. "I'll take care of it, don't worry, Lulu."
Spike smiled. "Well, as much as I'm glad to see you guys and finding out that I wasn't actually kidnapped in France, I gotta know, where the hell am I?" Asked Spike.
Celestia smiled. "Oh right, sorry Spike. You in Equestria, ruled by the four princesses of the kingdom. The princess of the sun, Me. The princess of the night, Luna. The princess of Love, Cadance. And the newest ruling princess, the princess of friendship, Twilight Sparkle."
Spike nodded. "Ok. So my father is a magical chaos being. My mother, aunt, and cousin are all princesses in another world, instead of the CEO, COO, and CFO of a multi-billion dollar company, and I just met the last girl when I woke up."
Discord nodded. "Yep, and your adopted." Said Discord.
Celestia glared at him. "Discord, you and I both know that he is not, I broke your hand when I was delivering him, or she did with him. Just, look he is Spike, he is our son, and if you ever tell him he was adopted again, your going back in your stone statue."
Spike laughed. "Mom, it's fine, dad would always tell me that joke when I was thinking too much. It didn't stop you from kicking him in the balls the first time you heard it, but it's just how we are. Plus I've seen my baby photo album, dad was getting his hand taped up, you were holding me right after I was born and Luna was trying to stop Cadance from getting too close. But it's been a day and I think I'm going to try and sleep, if this is a dream, I can say it was a nice one, but if not, I'll see one of you in the morning." Said Spike as he tried to get out of the wheelchair and walk to his room in the penthouse suite. But that didn't happen, instead, he took one step and fell on his face. This made Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Discord laugh. "If anyone brings up the time I broke my leg, I will get mad."
Celestia smiled as she used her magic to pick Spike off the ground. "It's fine Sweetie, I'll put you in my bed for the night, day court is just about over anyway. It'll be just like the time you got your tonsils out."
Spike shrugged, he really didn't have any better options, it's not like he could walk away, much less find his way back to Fluttershy's and ask to bum on her couch. "Ok, mom." Said Spike.
Once Spike and Celestia left the room, both Cadance and Luna glared at Discord. Luna walked over to Discord and grabbed his face. "You and I both know why we all have a connection to that Spike, but if you ruin this for her, I will kill you." Threatened Luna.
Discord sighed. "Hey, he was my son too you know, I wanted to see him just as much as she did. I just wasn't ready for the loss to hit me as bad as it did."
Luna released Discord. "She was devastated when she found out about Spike, then you go and almost destroy the world in grief, you left us no choice but to stop you and she lost the man she loved as well. So I'm making you a deal, you make this year she has with the son she never got to raise, the best of her life or I make sure that we never see you again, and we hope that we forget this Spike ever existed. I am not letting my sister go through this heartache again." Said Luna as she stormed out of the throne room.
Discord sighed. "Trust me, I don't want that either." Said Discord.
"Discord, just try and make things right with Celestia. She had to suffer many years seeing other Spikes with other Celestia's, and other lives that she missed out on having with the two of you with her. It took its toll on her. I know we all suffered when she lost him, but she lost the most. But maybe your brother is giving you two another chance." Said Cadance as she used her magic to teleport her and her family back to their home.
Discord sighed. "If you are doing this Life, why does it feel like Death?" Asked Discord as he teleported to his home to start working on Spike's new leg and arm. "Thankfully I know a perfect starting point."
Author's Note
Yeah, this one got heavy at the end. Just to clarify some stuff, Spike is the biological son of both Celestia and Discord in his world, Discord has infinate copies in the mulitverse, each one get a discord, some are humans, some are magical, all have a conection to each other.
This universe has Discord and Celestia before he went nuts, having a son named Spike, but she had a miscarage, and it threw Discord into his crazyness. But in that time Discord, Celestia and Luna along with Cadance are able ot view memories of all Spikes that have come from both of them in the multieverse. But Spike does not have this ability.
So the title of the story has two meanings, a journey back home, and a journey to reconsiling and moving on from a loss.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
As Celestia was carrying Spike to her room so he could rest after the long day he's had, Spike's stomach had other plans. It growled loudly and echoed down the long hallway. Spike blushed in embarrassment. "Hehe, sorry mom, now that I think about it, I haven't eaten anything since last night."
Celestia smiled. "Spike, it's not a problem, we're near the kitchen's, why don't we stop there and get you some food?"
Spike smiled. "Ok mom, by any chance does this world have a Ms. Platter?" Asked Spike. Ms. Platter or Serving Platter was the personal chef for Celestia and her family. In his world, Spike wanted to surprise Celestia on Mother's day by cooking for her, so he asked Serving Platter to teach him how to cook her favorite meal. But teaching a 7-year-old how to cook a steak to medium rare with a balsamic mushroom reduction and baked potato three ways, in a little over 3 hours was a little too far out of the kind woman's wheelhouse, so they settled on making a pizza instead. But that didn't stop Spike from catching the cooking bug. For the next 2 years, Spike would spend almost all his free time with Serving Platter in the kitchen. So when Mother day came along again, Spike presented Celestia with a beautiful steak cooked to medium rare with a balsamic mushroom reduction and baked potato done three ways, her absolute favorite meal.
Celestia nodded. "We do sweetie, she's the head chef of the palace, what would you like tonight?" Asked Celestia.
Spike hummed in thought. "Well seeing as your a pony, or alicorn, I'm guessing that your an herbivore, so the meat is out..."
"No, not entirely Spike. You see, being a princess of the kingdom is pretty similar to being the CEO of a company, creatures from all around, come here for important meetings. Dragons, Griffons, Lizard Men and Diamond Dogs are just a few of the creatures on this continent that actively eat meat, there are even more on the other side of the world. So as a show of good faith and honoring their traditions, I have eaten food that other ponies couldn't stomach, meaning that Ms. Platter is also trained how to cook such a meal if you'd like."
Spike shook his head. "No thanks, the last time we ate dinner together was the night before I left for my year abroad, and I would feel like a jerk if we couldn't eat together, plus all I've eaten in the last month has been high-class food, so how about a pizza instead, and none of that fancy crap that has all of its ingredients flown in with white truffles as a topping. I'm craving something that is probably 70% grease, with enough cheese to drain a cow, and olives that don't cost 5 bucks each."
Celestia giggled at the statement. "Well, I'm pretty sure that can be arranged. But what about dessert?"
"What about it, it's always cake, your favorite, and mine." Said Spike.
Celestia smiled at hearing this, she moved Spike over to her front as she kept walking. "So, Spike, would you care to explain why your girlfriend, Ember, showed up in my office last week, wanting to talk with you?" Asked Celestia.
Spike was confused. "Wait, Ember was at the office last week?" Asked Spike. "She didn't tell me anything, in fact, we haven't even spoken in a year, and the last time I saw her was when we broke up over three years ago." Said Spike.
"You two broke up, but I thought you guys were going to try long distance?" Asked Celestia.
Spike nodded. "We did, and it didn't last more than a few months, we just grew apart is all. She started dating a guy named Garble, and I went on a few dates during my college days, but none of them lasted for more than a month or so. Soon we just stopped talking to each other and I thought it was over, simple as that."
Celestia sighed. "Sweetie, I love you to bits, but sometimes you are as stupid as your father. Spike you were her first boyfriend, she loved you very much, and to be honest, I think she still does. I think that she was using that Garble character to help fill that void." Said, Celestia.
Spike sighed. "That doesn't make sense, she's the one who wanted to end things." Said Spike.
Celestia sighed. "Well, that's something you'll need to talk with her about when you go back. After you explain to everyone where you've been, what happened to you, and praying that they don't toss you into the looney bin." Said Celestia giggling.
Spike groaned. 'She is 100% my mother, stupid jokes and all.' Spike looked at Celestia. "Mom, earlier, dad told me that he was locked up for 1000 years, but he's only in his late forties, and I know it's one of the three things you never ask a lady, but just how old are you?"
"12756 and four months." Said Celestia simply. "Your aunt is 10342, Cadance is 3078 and Discord is the oldest out of all of us at 98486234963 years old."
Spike went limp hearing that his mother was over 10000 years old. Celestia giggled at the look on Spike's face. "Oh it's not so bad Sweetie, I've done a lot in my time." Said Celestia.
Spike looked at his mother. "Mom, I love you, I do, and for a woman in her twelfth millennium, you are beautiful, but I just can't wrap my head around it all." Said Spike.
Celestia giggled as she pulled Spike up to her and kissed him on his forehead. "Don't worry about it, Spike. Alicorns can live up to 100000 years. We grow up like all creatures, but by the time we reach our 10000's we stop aging until our 95000's. I've looked like this for the last 1500 years or so. Luna just stopped growing last century and apparently, she got our fathers jeans." Cosmo was a short man, only standing at 5'7", but when compared to his wife Lilith, who stood at a massive 6'10" tall, he was a mouse, and that's in Spikes world where Celestia was only 6'4" and she matched his grandmother's height. "Cadance on the other hand still has a few more millenniums until she's done and Twilight was 20 when she ascended, which normally takes around 7500 years for a to alicorn look like that. So she's kinda stuck looking like a 20-year-old until time catches up with her."
Spike kinda understood it better, but not really. "Ok." Spike looked around. "So how much farther until we hit the kitchens?" Asked Spike.
"Oh, we've been here for a while now, I just wanted to talk to you a little more." Said Celestia as she pointed at the doors to the royal kitchen.
Spike sighed as his stomach growled. "Mom, I love talking to you, but he didn't like it." Said Spike as he pointed to his stomach.
Celestia giggled. "Fine, I'm sorry Spike's stomach, lets go find Serving Platter." This seemed to calm down the angry beast that resided in Spike's gut.
Celestia opened the doors and walked in with Spike still in her magic. "Serving Platter, can you come here?" Asked Celestia.
Not two seconds later, a light purple woman with graying blond hair and a horn on her head appeared in front of Celestia and Spike. "Yes, your highness? We are finishing up your meal for tonight as we speak, and your nightly cake tower is about to be frosted."
Celestia smiled. "Excellent, but tonight I'm hosting someone special to me, can you ask the chefs to make him a normal pizza, with olives, extra cheese, and pepperoni." Said Celestia.
Spike looked at Celestia. "No, you don't have to, I don't want to freak you out." Protested Spike.
Serving Platter, who hadn't even heard a word Spike said, nodded at the princess. "Yes ma'am, Princess Celestia. Would you like to dine in the dining room tonight?" Asked Serving Platter.
Celestia shook her head. "No, tonight we shall dine in my chambers."
The serving platter nodded. "Of course princess." She looked at Spike for the first time. "And what would they like to drink for the meal?"
"Um... Can I just get a soda, regular, preferably lime and lemon-flavored?" Said Spike.
"So, Sprite?" Asked Serving Platter.
"Yeah, thanks." Said Spike.
Serving Platter bowed to the princess. "Of course, it will be ready in fifteen minutes." Said Serving Platter as she ran off to start the pizza.
He looked at Celestia. "You guys have soda here?" Asked Spike as he was carried out of the kitchen by Celestia. They were headed to her bed chambers.
Celestia nodded. "Yeah, a few Discords in the other realities, actually invented a couple of the soft drinks that you know in your world. We have Coke, DR. Pepper, Sprite, Mountain Dew, Fanta, 7 Up, and ginger ale."
Spike sighed in relief. "Oh, thank god, you guys don't have Pepsi."
Celestia shivered. "Spike, Discord is crazy, but not evil."
Spike chuckled, but then he looked at Celestia. "Hey mom, dad told me that you guys were close to getting married here, what happened?"
Celestia sighed. "Spike, that's a difficult subject to talk about, ok. We lost something very important and we dealt with it in very different ways." Said Celestia in an 'I don't want to talk about it' kinda tone.
Spike read the room and nodded. "Ok, if you don't want to talk about it then we don't have to, I get it." Said Spike.
Celestia smiled slightly. "Thanks, Spike." Said Celestia as they arrived at Celestia's room. Celestia used her magic to push open the door. She placed Spike onto the bed and propped him up with some pillows.
Spike looked at the room. It was massive, it easily dwarfed his parent's room in the penthouse. Spike looked at the bed he was on. His parents had a deluxe king bed for their room, and this one was easily the same size except a little longer to match Celestia's size. The room had a massive balcony that looked over a beautiful white city. The walls were inlaid with gold trim. There was a desk in the room, but it wasn't made of solid oak like the one in Celestia's office, this one was made from gold with precious gems as the nobs. Spike looked down to the tiled floor and for the first time got a great look at his face thanks to the almost mirror-like sheen from the marble floor.
Celestia giggled at the sight of Spike. "I know, but when you're a princess of a kingdom like mine, the contractors don't skimp out on lavish." Celestia walked over to the door that leads to the balcony and opened the door. She stepped out and looked over the city. She looked back at Spike. "Spike, this world is a little different from the one you know, and that's mainly because of the blood that runs in my and Lunas veins. For generations, the Solaris household has ruled over the sun and moon, and that is because we are the only ones that can move them." Celestia then powered up her horn and focused on the sun's core. She raised her hand and moved it towards the west, the sun followed the motion of her hand right as it fell past the horizon, leaving the sky a dark orange color. "Every day, I raise the sun and every night Luna raises the moon." Celestia was expecting Spike to comment on what she just said, but when he didn't say a word, Celestia looked back to find out why.
Spike was stuffing his face with the pizza that they ordered. He looked at his mother, his mouth half stuffed with dinner. "Sorry, food showed while you were talking, smelled too good, only caught about half of what you said." Said Spike, he swallowed the pizza. "But whatever you said is no doubt really cool."
Celestia sighed as she walked back into her room, and closed the door to the balcony. "I swear I will never understand how you graduated college, if you weren't stuffing your face, you were spending time with me or your father, and from the state that poor pizza is in, you still have that massive apatite."
Spike shrugged as he took another piece of the pizza. "Well what do you expect, I'm your son, Ms. We need 3 Cakes at the wedding, one for me, one more for me, and lastly one mostly for me, but Discord can have some, probably. That day you got promoted from princess to queen of cakes." Said Spike, he went for his drink and gulped half of it down.
Celestia giggled as she started eating her salad. Spike groaned. "I see you stuck on the image diet here as well."
Celestia nodded as she took a bite, she swallowed. "Yep, but it's not all bad, I do this so I can have my cakes, if I ate like everyone else plus my cakes, I would look like a ball."
Spike shrugged. "Probably." He looked at Celestia. "Hey, mom. Thanks for all of this."
Celestia was confused. "All of what Sweetie?"
"This, the pizza, the bed, the talk, all of it."
Celestia was still confused. "I'm still not following Spike, what's this all about?"
"I know you're my mother, but your not my mother, and I'm not your son, and yet you just..." Said Spike.
Celestia smiled as she sat next to Spike and wrapped him in a loving hug. "Sweetie, I am Celestia, you are Spike, you may not be from this reality, but that doesn't mean your any less my baby boy than I am your Mammy, or Luna is your Woona, or Cadance is Candy. We all love you, Spike, even if you just suddenly popped up here because you are Spike."
Spike sighed as he placed down his last slice of pizza. He looked at his mother and hugged her. "You are just like her, mom. I'm glad I wound up here, with you and everyone else, I've missed you guys since I left."
Celestia smiled. "Trust me, we missed you too, Spike." Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Celestia used her magic to open it.
In walked Serving Platter, she was carrying a massive tower of mini cakes on a stand. She placed the towel on the coffee table and left the room without a word, she didn't want to interrupt her princess. She closed the door as she walked out of the room.
Spike looked at the doorway. "Wow, she really is just like her back home." Spike looked at his mother, but when he looked to where she was, she wasn't there, instead she was already stuffing her own face with the cakes. "HEY! Leave me some cakes, mom." Spike using his one good leg launched himself towards the cakes, hoping to at least get a single bite before the cake queen destroyed the frosted tower.
Celestia used her magic to catch Spike before he hurt himself and placed him in her lap right by the cake tower. She levitated a cake into Spike's hands and looked down at him. "Don't worry, my little cake prince, mommy didn't forget about you." Said Celestia.
Spike smiled at Celestia as he started to enjoy the cake with his mother.
One hour has passed and the cake tower was completely gone, not even a crumb of it remained. Spike's belly was full and he was in a food coma. Right now Spike was under the covers with Celestia. She was snuggling up to him and holding him like his mother did when he was scared. She looked down at Spike and started to cry. "I always dreamed of doing this with you, my baby." Said Celestia.
A single tear dropped onto Spike's face, but this wasn't enough to wake him up. Spike squirmed for a moment, he shifted around, and using his left arm he draped it around Celestia and pulled his face closer to her chest. "Mommy," mumbled Spike as he went back to his deep sleep with a smile on his face.
Celestia smiled as she just looked at her son. "Yes Spike, mommy is here." Said Celestia as she pulled the covers up so she could fall asleep.

Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
I Can't Give You A Hand, But I Can Give You A Arm And Leg
The next morning, Spike woke up in the arms of Celestia. She was smiling at him. "Good morning Sweetie, did you sleep well?"
Spike nodded as he yawned. "Yeah. What time is it?"
"It's around 7:30, I already raised the sun for the day. But you looked so lonely, alone in the bed, so I got back in to keep you company." Celestia released Spike and they both sat up. Spike leaned to each side to loosen his back. Celestia giggled at her son. "I guess you still do that then."
Spike nodded. "Yep, helps me wake up and loosen my muscles." Spike looked around and noticed that somethings weren't where they were supposed to be. He looked down to his body and noticed that he was naked. "MOM, where are my clothes!?" Yelled Spike as he tried to cover himself from his mother's view.
Celestia giggled. "Oh, lighten up Sweetie, you got nothing new for me to see." Said Celestia as she got out of the bed and reviled that she was wearing a pair of panties and a nightshirt.
Spike groaned at the sight. Celestia in his world never cared about appearances around her family. It wasn't an uncommon sight to see her in just panties in the morning back home, and she needed at least 2 cups of coffee before she even thought about covering her breasts. That meant that Spike was used to seeing his mother in such a state of undress. 'Some things are just hard wired.' Thought Spike. He sighed. "That still doesn't explain where my clothes are." Said Spike.
Celestia looked at Spike. "You mean the ones that were torn, covered in blood and dirt, and uncomfortable to sleep in? I teleported them off of you while you were asleep and asked the guards to burn them."
"MOM!" Yelled Spike.
Celestia giggled. "Oh, lighten up, I asked the royal dress maker to make you some clothes earlier, their just like your old one's except brand new, I also have your wallet, it's on the desk."
Spike sighed. "Ok, sorry for yelling."
Celestia smiled. "It's fine Spike."
Spike looked around trying to find the bathroom. "Hey mom, where is the bathroom? I want to get cleaned up for the day."
Celestia smiled. "Well, I was going to head there myself, how about we take a bath together like we used to?"
"Mom that was when I was like 3...Wait, why are you wearing clothes now? You weren't when I showed up, and now that I think about it, the only ponies I've seen with clothes are those guards yesterday, everyone else has been naked."
"Oh, right, I should have told you. Spike here in Equestria all creatures have magic. Unicorns can cast spells like teleportation, levitation, shield spells, attack spells, and many others. Pegasi can fly and walk on clouds along with the ability to handle things like snow, rain, lightning, rainbows, and like many types of birds, they too have a homing instinct that allows them to navigate around. Earth ponies use their magic to enhance their strength and stamina, along with the ability to influence the environment. For example, farmers can make crops more productive or last longer before dying. But each pony is different, a unicorn can be a prodigy with fire magic but horrible with wind, or shield magic. Pegasi who are born weak fliers can possess other abilities to compensate where they are lacking. The best example is Fluttershy, she has always been a poor flyer, but she has the ability to communicate with animals. Earth Ponies are stronger sure, but when an earth pony isn't strong many possibilities are opened. Pinkie Pie is one such pony, she's nowhere near as strong as Applejack, so she can change her body, she can stretch, inflate, deflate, compress, and bounce." Said Celestia.
"Um... I haven't met her yet, Twilight said they tied her up so she wouldn't do anything to me." Said Spike.
Celestia sighed. "Ok, well you'll see what I mean when you meet her. Lastly, we come to the Alicorns. Alicorns possess the attributes from the other tribes, earth pony strength and stamina, the ability to fly and walk on clouds, and the ability to use magic, but we also have the enhanced magic that is affected by our world. I can control the sun meaning I change the suns rotation and amount of energy it puts out. Luna controls the moon, meaning she can influence the tide, we are called Solar Alicorns, because we control the solar bodies. Cadance on the other hand is called an emotional Alicorn. She can gather emotions from her surroundings and use them to grant her a power boost. But not all emotions are created equal, like not all magic, each emotion is strong against another, anger is weak to joy, but joy is weak to sadness, that sort of thing. But there are two emotions that are the most powerful, Love and Hatred. Long ago when Cadance was born, we knew that she was the embodiment of Love, and she excelled at using love with her magic. That little baby with her yesterday was her daughter, Flurry Heart, she is also an emotional Alicorn, but until she's a little older, we will not know what emotions she embodies. So until then she can channel the whole spectrum. When she's sad or upset, her cry can produce shockwaves or stun ponies, when she's happy, plants bloom and the sky's clear, when she's angry, her strength can rival that of a full adult."
Spike nodded. "Ok, note to self, don't make the baby upset, got it, but what about Twilight, you said she's an Alicorn, what kind is she?"
Celestia nodded. "Yes, she is a primal Alicorn, and she utilizes the magic that holds this world together. But more specifically the magic of friendship, but we kinda diverted away from why everyone is naked, that's because every creature has the ability to simply conceal the reproductive organs, until they wish to reveal them." Celestia closed her eyes and slowly her chest started to grow larger and larger, until they stopped at a giant pair of G cups, with a pair of light pink nipples resting at the tips. "You see, this allows us to simply walk around in our own fur, no one judges, no one gets upset. But we do not allow for it outside our homes or in public. the only ones that can go out unhidden are foals, because they can't control this magic yet, but it is taught in kindergarten."
Spike nodded. "Ok, so the panties are for what?" Asked Spike.
Celestia shrugged. "They make me feel hot."
Spike sighed. "That long list of questions is going to have to wait for a long while, and hopefully will never be answered. Look...can you put up your boobs and find me a towel. I don't like the idea of letting it all just hang out there. Plus a bath sounds really nice right now."
Celestia nodded as she willed her boobs to recede back into her chest. "Don't worry about your towel Spike, I'll just teleport us there." Said Celestia as she picked Spike up in her magic.
He still held the covers over his crotch, so his mother didn't see. "Mom." Said Spike.
Celestia giggled. "Oh Sweetie, take it from a mare that's been around a long time, you got nothing to be ashamed of, your actually pretty big, by stallion standards."
Spike groaned. 'Not something I ever wanted my mother to ever say to me.' Thought Spike. He sighed and dropped his cover. "Just get us in the bath." Said Spike.
Celestia didn't need to be told twice, she powered up her horn and instantly teleported Spike and herself into the royal bath. But she forgot to mention that Luna likes to take a bath before she goes to sleep for the day.
Luna was relaxing in the royal bath, after a long night of watching the dreams of ponies and helping resolve nightmares, she felt like she deserved to unwind fully. She was floating in the water of the solid marble tub with her full F chest out and displaying her dark blue nipples to the ceiling, the stone lion mason work and her bath time companion Sir Quack the royal bath time knight.
She sighed in relaxation. "This is nice, the bath all to myself, a long day’s rest waiting for me, not hearing my daughter enjoying her relationship with Shining at all hours of the night."
Suddenly Luna shot up from her bath. "Somethings wrong, Tia should be in the baths by now." And Luna was right.
Celestia with Spike in tow popped into the baths. "I'm never going to get used to that." Said Spike. He looked around and noticed Luna, her chest was still out and going off the blush on both of their faces they both knew it. Spike gulped. "Aunt Luna, I think... um your chest is out." Said Spike.
Luna nodded and closed her eyes. Quickly her chest was gone, and she tried not to look at Spike. "Yes, sorry, I wasn't expecting you to show up here. I was just about to get out."
Celestia giggled. "Nonsense, Luna, please stay, it'll be just like the time we all bathed together in Japan when Spike was three." Said Celestia.
Luna and Spike sighed. Back when Spike just turned three, Celestia had to take a trip to Japan to meet with a possible new partner. So of course, she brought Spike, Luna and her, at the time 6-year-old daughter, Cadance. Celestia got a beautiful resort for them to stay at, that had a large open bath. Normally this isn't a problem, both genders had a bath to themselves, but that only pertains to children under a certain age, again not normally a problem... if there was someone to take care of Spike. But unfortunately, Discord was on the other side of the world in South Africa handling a job. So, Spike was taken into the women's bath, because he was too young to go in by himself. Everything went great, Spike got cleaned, he had fun in the warm water, and he loved the star filled sky.
Spike just never thought he was going to be bathing with a pony version of his mom, and aunt, at the age of 22 while missing an arm and a leg. "Mom, can you put me in the water?" Asked Spike.
Celestia nodded as she placed Spike in one of the larger tubs. "Thanks." Said Spike, he could already feel his tensions melting away.
Spike sighed as he looked at his missing parts. 'Hmm, I wonder when Dad will drop by with that help he promised.' Thought Spike. Suddenly Celestia stepped into the tub with Spike. "Bit for your thoughts?" Asked Celestia.
Spike looked back and ignoring the fact that his mother is in the tub with him, he shrugged. "Just wondering what dads doing right now, how I'm going to convince everyone back home that I'm not crazy, and how my life got so fucked up to the point that I'm here missing an arm and leg in the bath tub with my mother and aunt, but mostly how I'm actually calm about all of it." Spike smiled at Celestia. "I think its knowing that I'm not alone here, and even if you’re not 'my' mother, you still are her, and no matter what you look like, you are her to me."
Celestia smiled as she pulled Spike back to her chest. "Well, if it helps, I love you baby."
Spike smiled as he relaxed even more. "It does, it really does."
In Discords home, he was working on putting the final touches on to Spike's arm and leg. Discord looked at a detailed schematic of a metal arm. "Ok, so using that old cartoon as a base, and adding some of my own personal magic along with some tech I found in the closet, the arm should be able to interface with Spikes nerves letting him move his new fingers and feel whatever he touches." Discord then moved to another schematic showing a metal leg. "And his new leg should have full motion like a normal foot, but I can't believe I didn't have enough metal for a pinkie toe of all things. It should connect to his stump and feel right, it might be a little heavier than he's used to, but he's a smart boy, he should be able to compensate for it. Not to mention all the little enhancements I added, he should have some fun with them." Discord cracked his neck, he stayed up all night working on the limbs for Spike, but they were ready, except for one thing. "Now what colors should I make them? Green as a base? No, Spike is more of a purple kinda kid." Said Discord as he snapped his fingers to make the limbs all purple. "Ok. Now, what about the nails and spikes on the knuckles, arm, and leg? Red? No, it clashes way too much, that pompous white unicorn would have a heart attack the moment she sees it. Yellow? Nope." Discord shrugged as he snapped his fingers to make the accent color green. "Eh, why mess with a classic?" Asked Discord as he placed both limbs in a box and wrapped it with a large red bow on top. Discord took a deep breath. "I should probably grab some hard booze to go with this, it's going to hurt like a mother when I attach them to him." Said Discord as he walked to a large cabinet on the ceiling and pulled out a bottle of booze, but instead of three X's, the whole jug was covered in them. "847 proof should be enough." Said Discord as he closed the cabinet. "After this is all over, I'm going to call them and get some answers." Said Discord, he then snapped his tail and teleported to the castle.
Spike was drying off from the bath, Celestia was doing the same. They enjoyed the bath together, and Celestia even washed Spike's back for him seeing as he could only reach half of it himself. But right now, they were back in Celestia's room, where sitting next to Spike was a brand-new copy of his clothes. Spike looked at his mother, she was on her third towel, and he chuckled. "Something I'm glad for not having in this world, fur."
Celestia looked at Spike. "Shut up, it's not easy being covered in fur you know, me and Luna alone go through enough shampoo in a month than you do in a decade."
It didn't stop Spike from chuckling still. "Sorry, your right, I'm sorry, but when your all dry are you a puff ball?"
"Shut up." Said Celestia as she tried to push down a bit of her coat that was starting to fluff.
Suddenly Discord popped into the room to deliver Spike's arm and leg. "Good morning all." Said Discord.
Both Spike and Celestia looked at the sudden Discord. "Dad!" Smiled Spike. "What are you doing here and why do you look like you didn't sleep last night?" Asked Spike.
Discord yawned, his face was pale, his eyes had bags under them, and his eyes were red. But he smiled none the less. "Because I didn't sleep Spike, I was up all night working on these." Said Discord as he handed Spike the gift box with his new arm and leg inside.
Spike took the box and opened it, sitting inside was Spike's purple and green arm and leg. Spike smiled at them as he picked up his new arm, he looked at it closely. "Dad, why does the design remind me of something?"
Discord smiled. "Well, I kinda based it on a character from your favorite cartoon from when you were growing up."
Spike smiled. "That's right, they look like the metal limbs that Combustion Man had in the third season of Avatar, we watched that show all the time back then. I can't believe you remembered."
Discord smiled. "What, you and I watched that show every Saturday morning during breakfast, I remember every episode."
Spike smiled as he pulled out his leg from the box. "Well, let’s put these puppies on and take them for a joyride." Said Spike, he was excited to finally walk again.
Discord looked at Spike. "Spike, hold on for a moment, I'm going to need you to drink this first." Said Discord as he showed the bottle of booze. "Because, this is going to hurt, like a room of women soccer players kicking you in the nuts, in steel toed boots, levels of pain."
Spike looked at Discord. "And how the hell do you know what that's like?"
Discord shivered. "Another Discord had that happen to him, the poor bastard was kicked into a coma for a month."
Spike shuttered. "Give me that booze." Said Spike.
Celestia sighed. "Spike, I know we kinda lost touch with you while you've been gone, but I don't remember you liking alcohol all that much, would you prefer me using my magic to knock you out for this?"
Discord looked sheepish. "Celestia, I added some of my raw magic into the design so it will connect with Spike's nerves and we both know that even in my split state, my magic is much stronger than yours. The moment we attach them to him, my magic will overpower yours and he will feel everything."
Celestia groaned as she rubbed her temples. She looked at Spike. "Spike, I'll make sure to help you with the hangover."
Spike smiled. "Thanks mom." He looked at the jug, he popped off the cork and took a single whiff of the drink. Spike's eyes watered from the smell as the world around him went black. Spike fell back onto the bed; he was knocked out and completely unresponsive.
Discord sighed as he teleported the bottle back to his home. "Thank dad, I wasn't sure if he was going to do that or not."
Celestia glared at Discord. "Discord, what did you do to Spike?"
Discord groaned. "Well if he drank it straight, he would have died. This is 210% pure alcohol, his liver couldn't have handled it, and even a single drop in a swimming pool is strong enough to get anyone hammered like a nail. Thankfully he only inhaled it, so he should be knocked out for an hour or so, but there's a good chance he won't remember the last ten minutes or so when he wakes up."
Celestia sighed. "So, you flipped a coin to see if Spike died or got a new leg and arm?"
Discord shook his head. "Tia you know me; I never play fair. The bottle was empty before I even got here, but on that note could I borrow Blooming Flower for a while, I kinda dumped the booze out into my garden and my plants, grass and tree are all dead."
Celestia sighed. "We'll talk about it later Discord, let’s get Spike hooked up first. Where do we start?"
"Let's start with his leg, you hold him down and do what you do best, keep him calm." Said Discord as he turned Spike on the bed, so he was fully on the bed. He grabbed the leg and connected it to Spike's stump. Discord looked at Celestia. "It should only take about one minute for everything to connect. Are you ready Tia?"
Celestia nodded, she looked down at Spike, she placed his head in her lap and kissed his forehead. "Don't worry Spike, mommy is right here."
Discord took a deep breath as he reached deep down to unlock his ancient magic. His eyes started glowing green along with his hands, he placed one on Spike's thigh and one on the leg. He pushed the two together and started the connection process. Spike started to squirm at the feeling, but soon he started to cry in pain and struggle. Celestia held Spike down using all her strength. "Spike, breathe. Everything is ok, mommy is right here, your safe." Said Celestia. But it didn't work, Spike was still struggling to escape. Seeing Spike suffering through this, was just too much for Celestia to handle, she started to cry herself as she tried her best to comfort Spike. "Spike, you need to stay calm, you’re doing a great job, me and your father are so proud of you, and we need you to keep it up for a little longer." Said Celestia, this time her words seemed to make it to Spike's brain, as he started grunting, trying to hold in the pain. Celestia smiled at seeing this. "Great job Sweetie, you’re going to be just fine."
"Celestia, If you can? Get Luna in here, we'll need her help for his arm." Said Discord as his eyes, and hands stopped glowing. "His leg is done now, but I can't work on his arm and keep his legs down."
Celestia nodded. "Ok Discord, and thank you for tapping into Life's powers. How many Discords agreed to use it?"
Discord sighed. "Two. Me and his father. Tia when this is over, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble with the others, but I want answers about why he's here and Life is the only one who can give me them."
Celestia smiled. "If you need me to say something on your behalf, just tell me."
Discord Smiled. "Thanks Tia. Now can we get your sister to join us on the bed, Spike need's all the help he can get to keep it up... And yes, I know that phrase could sound wrong, if taken out of context."
Celestia giggled. "Yes. Yes, it could." Said Celestia as she used her magic to teleport Luna into her room before she fell asleep for the day.
Luna popped into Celestia's room, she looked at the odd display, and immediately looked at Discord. "This is a new level of weird for you, and that's saying something."
Discord rolled his eyes. "Stuff it, Spike need's his new arm, and we need you to hold down his legs. Also, you might be meeting the others soon because I'm tapping into Life's powers to form the connection."
Luna groaned. "How many agreed to it?"
"Me and his father. Now shut up, I only have access to it for another few minutes." Said Discord.
Luna nodded and pushed down Spike's legs. She nodded to Discord. "Ready."
Discord's hands and eyes started glowing again as he started the process. Spike again started to squirm, then it changed to struggling, but this time it went further, Spike screamed in pain. "Spike, please bear with it for a little longer, I know it hurts, but your my little Spike, you didn't cry when you were scared when you got your tonsils removed, you didn't cry when you broke your leg, you are a strong man."
Spike grunted as he bit his lip to muffle is cries. But it didn't stop him from crying. "Your almost finished Spike, and don't worry, me, Discord, and Luna are all here cheering you on."
Luna smiled at her sister’s words and placed her hand onto Spike's chest. "Yep, I'm not letting my sweet little nephew go through this alone, besides we never settled who was the best at Mario Kart and you promised to give me a rematch when you got back."
Discord laughed. "Yeah buddy, there are still a lot of things I still need to do with you, we need to head to a strip club for your first lap dance, I need to tell you how to calm down an angry woman, how to play cards, and a hundred other things."
Celestia glared at Discord. "First off, my baby is not going to a strip club, and second you will never know how to calm down any angry woman." She looked at Spike and smiled at him. "And what about me, I'll never forgive you if you don't get married, you don't have a child that I can spoil rotten, and I'll never get the chance to threaten the woman you chose, like any good mother does."
Discord smiled as he removed his hands from Spike, his hands and eyes were back to normal. "He's done, let's let him rest until he wakes up." Said Discord.
Luna nodded as she let go of Spike's legs. She walked up to Spike. "You did great Spike." Said Luna as she kissed Spike's forehead.
Discord nodded. "Your dad did say you were a tough S.O.C. (Son of Celestia), but that's clearly an understatement. You did a great job Spike; I'll teach you how to use them later."
Celestia smiled at Spike. "You bet your my son, you did a great job Spike, now get some rest, you deserve it." Celestia carefully lowered Spike's head to the bed to let him sleep the booze off. "I'll be right outside when you wake up." Said Celestia as she, Discord and Luna walked out of the room.
Discord sighed. "He should be awake in the next hour. Life and the others should be calling me any minute, but the moment we're done, I'll be right back." Suddenly Discord's tail started ringing. "Speak of the devil." Said Discord as he picked up his tail. "Yes... yes.... yes... ok. What about the others? Really, to pieces you say, so they’re not coming. Oh come on, why do I have to host? Oh, don't give me that shit, we all know that both of their cooking is a one-way ticket to Death's place." Discord groaned. "Fine, I have some stuff in my place, but I want you to heal my plants, and bring in his father. Deal." Said Discord as he hung up his tail.
Celestia looked at Discord. "So, I'm guessing that was Life?"
Discord nodded. "Yep, we're meeting at my place in like five seconds. I don't need Blooming Flower anymore, Life is going to fix it for me, and they will be bringing Spike's Discord over, but he didn't sound mad, so I don't think this universe is doomed."
Celestia smiled. "Thank you Discord." Said Celestia, she kissed Discord's cheek. "I'm glad to know that even after 1000 years, your still you."
Discord smiled. "Tell Spike to take it easy for a while when he wakes up. Goodbye Tia, Lulu." Said Discord as he teleported to his home.
Luna smiled that Discord is trying to patch things up. "Well, it's way past my bedtime, I'll see you tonight sister."
Celestia smiled. "Have a good days sleep Luna, and thanks for what you said in there, it helped."
Luna smiled. "Well, he is Spike." Luna then teleported to her room so she could fall asleep.
Celestia smiled. "Well he is one S.O Me." Said Celestia as she teleported a chair in the hallway so she could sit down.
Discord walked into his home and sighed at the sight in front of him. In front of him was his siblings and himself. Discord looked at his older brother and the oldest of all of them, Life. "Thanks for fixing my lawn, 210% hooch is not good for them. But what's with the look bro, your normally more put together than this." Asked Discord.
In the room floated a green gas cloud. "It's hard for me to transport matter between so many realities Discord, sometimes not everything crosses over."
Discord sighed as he looked to his older sisters. "Death, how is it going for you?"
Death shivered in fear, because of the mortal vessel Discord was in, she was always shy around living creatures, because of her ability to kill anything she touches. But when she is alone with her immortal family, she was a completely different person, that cracked jokes, terrorizes Harmony, and couldn't give two fucks about the things that piss her off, but she was actually very kind, and loved to learn about the realities, so much so she always took the form of Mistress Death from Marvel Comics.
"I've been fine, thank you for having me." Said Death.
Discord smiled at his sister. "It's fine Death." He looked to his other sister Harmony, their parents always saw her as an angel, and it doesn't help that she liked to appear as one, wings and all. "Hello Harm, you haven't messed with anything have you?"
She stuck out her tongue. "Sorry Dissy, but I cleaned your house for you, and all of your plates are actually clean."
Discord sighed. "You know I don't like it when you do that, but just don't touch anymore of my stuff." Discord looked at himself and smiled. "Sorry to drag you out again, but good news, Spike has his new limbs on, he's sleeping off my booze right now."
Discord smiled. "Thanks for doing it for him, but I hate the fact that I only get to remember talking to you when we're together."
Both Discords glared at their brother. "So, I want answers to why my son is with me and Celestia in a reality where they lost him before he was born?"
"Discord, first off, I didn't do that. Your Spike was only missing an arm and leg, and your two realities are 1978264893 realities apart. Now look at me, I was only 67847 realities away watching over a new planet being born." Said Life.
Discord Looked to Death. "I didn't do it, I can barely pop into the next reality in the line without losing my form, I just got the call from the next reality over, the last sun is about to die and I'm trying to get all of the creatures ready. I'm sorry I'm not more help."
Both Discords sighed. "It's fine Death." Said both Discords. Earth Discord looked at Harmony. "What about you Sis, were you trying to make up for the missing Spike by taking one from another Reality?"
Harmony shook her head. "Sorry Dissy, this isn't my doing either, I was sorry to hear about Spike and Celestia, but it was not for me to influence, she lost him naturally, as morbid as that is to say."
"If it helps, he's living a nice afterlife with a couple Celestias that have passed on, I wish I could show you, but you know once someone passes, I'm the only one who can see them."
Discord sighed. "Thanks Sis, it actually does make me feel a little better that my son is at least with Celestia in some form. But that doesn't explain who transported Spike so far between me and his reality."
"Well, what about mom and dad? They're plenty powerful to send a single mortal so far." Suggested Harmony.
"What about his arm and leg then?" Asked Life.
Harmony shrugged. "Aunt Fate maybe, sometimes things just get lost in the transit."
"So, your suggesting that out of their infinite number of grandkids, they chose my Celestia and his Spike?" Asked Discord.
"Well, yeah. It's not like Life could have kids, he's too busy working."
"True that." Said Life.
"And Death can't touch a living thing without it dying, so sex is right out of the question."
Death blushed hard, she hasn't had a boyfriend or sex in almost 10 billion years.
Discord looked at Harmony. "What about you, last I checked you’re the reason I was stuck in a statue for 1000 years, Sis. Your son Starswirl is still stuck in that limbo dimension you know."
Harmony sighed. "I know all too well, but when I asked if he wanted mommy to get him out, he told me to leave and let him and his friends deal with it. I drop by every so often to check up on him though."
Discord sighed. "So, no one knows who put my Spike with his Celestia, and our best opinion is our parents?" Asked Earth Discord.
Everyone nodded. He sighed. "Fine, then can we just get to why we're here then; I'm going to be late for a meeting in five seconds. So, I only got a few minutes."
Life shrugged. "Oh, I didn't care, Spike needed it and I do care about all my nieces and nephews, but please don't use them again Discord, that's probably why I'm not dressed. Well I got to go get a new body, see you later guys." Said Life as he vanished into the reality.
"Me too, I got 24.8 trillion souls to house, I'm going to be busy for a while." Said Death as she was engulphed in black fire and taken to the dying reality.
"I might just stay and finish cleaning up for my baby bro." Said Harmony.
"NOPE!" Said Discord as he picked up his sister by the scruff and kicked her out of his home. He closed the door and sighed. He looked at Discord. "So, do you really think that mom or dad did this?" Asked Discord.
"I wouldn't put it past them, do you know how many of us are together with Celestia?"
Discord nodded. "Yeah, like 60% of us are and about 5% of us have Spike."
"Yeah, your lucky you get to remember all of this, all I get is a headache. Tell Spike to behave himself around your world's females, I do not want to be the grandfather of a bunch of foals because of red week, and especially keep him from that mare Pinkie Pie, last time most of us met, I talked to a few of us and she's either a flirt or completely nuts."
Discord laughed. "No promises. Hey, you guys did a great job raising him."
"Thanks, I'm sure you two would have done just as great with him, also great idea on the design." Said Discord as he returned to his world, leaving Discord alone in his house.
Discord sighed. "Well might as well go check up on him." Said Discord as he teleported back to Celestia.
Spike was waking up, he looked around for some sign of what happened, the last thing he remembered was Celestia taking him out of the bath and handing him a towel. "Uh, what the hell happened?" Asked Spike.
"Well, aside from getting your new arm and leg, you've been out for a while." Said Discord, he was floating upside down.
Spike looked at his arm and leg. "When the hell did this happen?" Asked Spike. He was smiling at his new arm and leg. "And they look so cool, but where have I seen this before?"
"Avatar, Combustion Man, we've already talked about it. You lost your memory because of the anesthetic I used."
Spike nodded as he moved his hand and fingers. "It feels almost real."
Discord smiled. "Good, that was the point, now before your mother comes in and yells at me for giving you something this powerful, let me teach you how to use it. First off bring all of your fingers together, this will deactivate the connection anchors so you can remove both your arm and leg, I linked them to your mind so if you ever need them all you need to do is think about them and they will reattach themselves to you."
Spike nodded and brought all his fingers together and felt his arm disappear, he then pictured his arm in his mind and the arm started moving, it then moved up and Spike could feel it again. Spike smiled. "That's awesome, what else can this thing do?"
Discord smiled. "You have no idea, try snapping." Said Discord.
15 minutes later, Discord was wrapping up on the user’s manual for the arm. "Ok, lastly if you turn your hand around and disconnect it from the arm and then press the first spike, you will activate a powerful laser cannon that will knock out everything it's aimed at, yourself included. So, don't use it unless necessary. You got all that?"
Spike nodded. "So, your telling me I have a cannon, I can teleport, I can shoot fire out of my hand and foot, this thing can turn into a shield, it increases my strength, and it's waterproof?"
Discord nodded. "Yep, but there's one more thing that you should know. You don't have a pinkie toe anymore."
Spike shrugged. "Ok." Spike looked at his new arm and leg, but he noticed that he was still naked. "Oh right, I need to get dressed." Said Spike, he moved to sit on the bed. Spike took a deep breath and stood on his feet.
"Spike, take it slow, you'll need some time to get used to it." Said Discord.
Spike looked at Discord. "Dad, no offense, but I've been naked for a while now, and it's really cold." Said Spike as he took a step, then another, and another. "Besides, your work is pretty good, it feels well balanced and sturdy." Said Spike as he put on his boxers. "Plus, I kinda missed walking on my own." Said Spike as he got on his new pants and shirt. He looked at Discord. "Where's mom?" Discord pointed to the door. Spike nodded as he walked to the door. He pushed it opened to greet his mother. "Mom." Said Spike, but all he saw was Celestia, she was asleep in the chair. Celestia had lied to Spike about sleeping well. She only got around 2 hours, because for most of the night, she was fully awake and snuggling Spike. She wanted to make sure that her son wasn't going to disappear.
Spike sighed as he looked at his mother. He looked back at Discord. "Dad, you said this thing was equipped with some strength enhancements, right?"
Discord nodded. "Yep, its set to around 5 times stronger, so if you tried to lift 100 pounds you could do it with 5 times as much weight, and before you ask, yes it's set to it's max and she only weighs around 175." Said Discord.
Spike nodded as he carefully picked up Celestia. He brought her back into her room and placed her in her bed. "I'll stay here for a while, Spike. I think you owe somepony a big thank you for saving you yesterday." Said Discord.
Spike nodded. "Yeah, so how does the teleportation work, do I just think about where I'm going to pop out or what?"
"All you have to do is snap your fingers and picture the location you want to pop out, simple as that." Said Discord.
Spike smiled as he pictured the inside of Fluttershy's home. "Tell mom, I'll be back soon." Said Spike, he snapped and vanished from the room.
Discord smiled. "Sure thing Spike." He looked down at Celestia. "I think we would have done just as great too."
Author's Note
There, Spike got his new limbs, we got to see Discord's family and himself from Spike's reality, and i know it long overdue. but there we have an explination on why nobody wears clothes.
Its back to Ponyville for Spike and we'll see what he gets into later.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
Spike's teleportation into Fluttershy's home went well, he landed in her living room right on her couch. The only problem was Fluttershy was sitting on it as well. So, the second Spike was able to take sight of his surroundings all he saw was yellow. Spike grabbed a pair of somethings that were soft and kinda squishy to pull himself up. This made the ponygirl turned landing pad squeak in embarrassment. This gave Spike a very good idea of where he was, but more importantly, it told him where he was and who he was on top of.
Spike was nestled squarely in-between two large yellow furred breasts that were connected to the yellow mare that he was unintentionally groping. "Plea….Please...Please stop." Cried Fluttershy.
Spike shot up out of the pony's chest and looked at the crying face of Fluttershy, his hands still on her chest which was fully out and going off the size, they were just as big as Luna's. Spike gulped as at this point, he had two choices that would both not end well. First, he could beg for forgiveness and pray they don't lock him up, or he can run for the hills and drop off the grid. Spike chose the former. He released his hold on the mare's chest and the moment he could get off her, he dropped to the floor and started begging for his life. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Begged Spike.
Fluttershy wiped her eyes and got a good look at her groper. "Spike?" Asked Fluttershy. "Is...is that you?"
Spike was still bowing his head; He didn't want to look at her chest, which now had a pair of light pink nipples at the tips. "Fluttershy, can you please put up your chest?" Asked Spike.
Fluttershy blushed, she looked down and remembered that she was still hanging them out there. "I'm sorry." Squeaked Fluttershy as she instinctively covered her chest with her hands. She was trying to focus on making them go back in, but the thought of someone seeing them made her nervous and self-conscious about them. She had always been self-conscious about them, her being a Pegasus, who normally have B cups, with the largest normally being C cups. She always felt like an outcast when she hit puberty and found out that she had monstrous F cups. That's why she was more comfortable around animals, they didn't judge her about her body.
Fluttershy took a deep breath, as she focused her thoughts on making her breast go back. Soon they were back inside and Fluttershy was able to calm herself down enough to look at Spike. He was still looking down and praying that he wasn't going to get locked up. "Um... Spike... they're gone, you can look up now, that is if you want?"
Spike looked up at Fluttershy and sighed in relief when he noticed that her chest was gone. Pushing himself up from the ground, he soon got to his feet. He looked down at Fluttershy for the first time, she was at least 5 inches smaller than him. Spike rubbed the back of his head and had an apologetic look on his face. "Sorry about that Fluttershy, I didn't know you were going to be there."
Fluttershy blushed as she looked away from Spike. "Um... it's ok, you were gentle." Said Fluttershy, she then got a good look at Spike, more specifically the fact that he was standing in front of her and the fact that she clearly felt two hands grabbing her boobs. "SPIKE, YOUR ARM, YOUR LEG?!"
Spike nodded sheepishly. "Yep, I'm back on my own two feet again. My dad gave them to me this morning." Said Spike as he showed Fluttershy his new arm and leg. "That's how I got here, he added some of his magic to it, and now I can do a lot of cool stuff." Said Spike. He looked at Fluttershy, she was crying. "Fluttershy, what's wrong?" Asked Spike.
Fluttershy sniffled as she looked at Spike. "I'm just happy to know that you’re ok." Said Fluttershy as she gave him a weak smile.
Spike gave her a real smile. "Thanks, and not only for being worried about me but for finding me in the forest." Said Spike as he gave her a little hug. He looked at Fluttershy. " So Fluttershy, tell me about yourself, I want to know if there is something I can do to pay you back." Said Spike.
Fluttershy shook her head. " No, you don't have to do that, I don't want to make you think that you owe me anything." Said Fluttershy frantically.
Spike was surprised. "Really, you don't want anything?" Asked Spike.
Fluttershy shook her head. "No, if that's ok?"
Spike sighed. "If you’re sure." Said Spike. "But still, can you tell me about yourself? I want to at least learn more about this new world I'm stuck in." Said Spike.
Fluttershy nodded as she took a seat back on the couch. Spike took the seat next to her. She looked at Spike. "So, what do you want to know?" Asked Fluttershy.
Spike shrugged. "I don't really know much aside from the stuff my mom told me about. I know about the whole magical genital hiding, how each type of pony has magic, and that my whole family is either a god or so powerful that they would be gods in my world. But, I don't really know about the area around here. Aside from here and where ever my mother’s castle is, that's the extent of my exploration in this world."
Fluttershy nodded. "Oh, well, let’s go outside, that will help you process where you are." Said Fluttershy as she walked outside. Spike followed her. He covered his eyes as he was blinded by the light.
Once Spike's eyes acclimated, he looked at his surroundings. "Wow, it's empty?" Asked Spike, all he saw was a field with a little bridge in the distance.
Fluttershy giggled. "No, look over here, that's just the meadow." Said Fluttershy as she turned Spike to the left.
"Oh, yeah that's a much better sight." Said Spike as he could see a town in the distance. The buildings looked to have shingled roofs, but some looked like they were made of straw. Spike shrugged it off. 'I'm not going to nitpick about that, I'm in a world of magical talking girls with wings, magic, and I'm wearing magical limbs, but man, I would love a camera.' Thought Spike, suddenly his arm started to buzz. Spike and Fluttershy looked at the arm.
"Spike, is it supposed to do that?" Asked Fluttershy.
Spike shook his head. "Nope, my dad never mentioned anything about it buzzing." Said Spike.
Soon the buzzing stopped. "Greetings, I am the 'Chaos Artificial Limb. Love You.' You can call me Cally." Said a voice as a screen popped up from Spike's arm. Spike and Fluttershy looked at the screen as a little pixel pony girl with a green coat and blue mane walked on the screen. "Hi, I'm Cally. It's nice to meet you, Master Spike. You're a lot cuter than I thought you would be." Said the pixel ponygirl.
Spike didn't know what to do, so he just greeted her. "Um... Hi, Cally. What are you?" Asked Spike.
"I am an artificial intelligence unit that was part of the technology used to create your arm. My previous body was a service unit, so I am programmed to help my current master with anything that the manufacture allows. But my system has been altered to fit your arm and leg. My original designation was Sheela, but the being known as Discord altered it to Cally. Would you like to change it once again?"
Spike shook his head. "No, Cally is fine. So... what can you do Cally?" Asked Spike.
Cally giggled. "Many things, I am equipped with a digital camera, GPS, Bluetooth sound system, and information search system. I'm also linked to a private account that was created in your name yesterday, your current balance is 787584975 bits, the Equestrian monetary unit. This screen is also fully customizable to suit your desires." Said Cally as she changed the screen saver to a high-resolution picture of her in a compromising position. Both Spike and Fluttershy blushed at the image. "Master's heart rate just jumped up by 20%." Said Cally as she changed the screen saver to a sandy beach. "Please forgive me, master, I wanted to see if I could get a reaction from you. I have changed the screen saver to a more appropriate image." Said Cally.
Spike sighed. "Cally, please don't do that again." Said Spike.
"Of course. Now, Master Spike, I noticed that you desired a camera, as I said earlier, I am equipped with one. To take a photo, please just position the screen and pinch your thumb and pointer finger."
Spike moved his arm, so he was looking at Fluttershy. "Hey, Fluttershy. Do you mind if I take a picture of the first pony I met?" Asked Spike.
Fluttershy blushed as she shook her head. "Please don't... I'm not good with cameras." Said Fluttershy.
This took the wind out of Spike's sails. "Cally, close the camera and give me a minute."
Cally nodded. "Yes Master, to reactivate me, just say 'Hey Cally.'" Said Cally as she went to sleep.
Spike walked over to Fluttershy. "Sorry, I didn't know."
Fluttershy smiled. "It's fine Spike, but I was once a model, and ever since then I've been very camera shy."
Spike nodded. "No, I get it, my mother hates paparazzi too. Back before I was around, she was actually a very famous fashion model, but after she met my father, she decided to change her job. Instead of making statements with her body, she decided to use her master’s in computer science and business to start Canterlot Corp. The media had a field day with the news dropped that Celestia Solaris was done. They stalked my mother, aunt, and cousin for months trying to get a reason for why she left the fashion world. She punched out a few guys who broke into her home and threatened to sue anyone who got in the way of her life again. Then a few days later she made a statement. 'I'm done with fashion, for two reasons.' She said. 'I'm tired of being objectified by the media, and I want my future child to see that I'm more than my looks.' She then walked off the stage and never looked back. I came around about a year later and she was right, I don't see my mother for her looks, I see her as someone who wanted to make a difference in her life. Plus, she was dying to actually have a slice of cake again." Said Spike.
Fluttershy giggled at the idea of Princess Celestia doing that. "Wow, I had no idea that Princess Celestia could ever do something like that."
Spike chuckled. "Yeah, but my life might have been completely different if she stayed a model."
Fluttershy smiled as she pulled Spike closer to her. "Hey, Cally. Open the Camera." Said Fluttershy.
Cally popped up and activated the camera. "Camera-ready."
Spike looked at Fluttershy. "Are you sure?" Asked Spike.
Fluttershy nodded. "Yes, I get why your mother left that world behind, I couldn't handle all the attention, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to memorialize important moments in my life." Fluttershy smiled as she looked at the camera.
Spike sighed. "Ok, Cally, do you have a selfie mode?"
"Of course, what am I, dial-up." Said Cally as she flipped the camera. A small image of Spike and Fluttershy showed up in the corner of the screen. "Ready Master."
Spike looked to Fluttershy. "Ready?" Fluttershy nodded. Spike moved his finger to take the photo.
(AN: I really wanted to find a photo, but I couldn't. Sorry)
Once the photo was taken. Spike looked at it with Fluttershy. "I like it, what about you?"
"I think the lighting was a little off, but it will do." Said Fluttershy as she started to giggle.
"Printing in progress." Said Cally.
Spike looked at Cally. "Printing?"
Cally nodded. "Yes, I am also a printer, I thought it would be a good idea to provide Madam Fluttershy a copy. Should I cancel the job?" Asked Cally as she paused her printer function.
Spike looked over at Fluttershy. "Would you like a copy?" Asked Spike.
Fluttershy nodded. "Um... Yes please, If it's not too much trouble." Said Fluttershy.
Spike smiled. "For you, nothing is." Said Spike, he looked at Cally. "Cally, print the photo."
"Job Complete, sending to Madam Fluttershy." Said Cally as a green wisp of smoke flew out of Spike's arm and over to Fluttershy. It materialized into the photo and landed in Fluttershy's hand.
Spike looked at Cally. "Cally, how long will it take you to compile a list of all of your functions?"
Cally hummed. "Done, I had to look in the far back of my programming. It looks like I'm able to perform 189 separate functions in this form. I was able to do much more, but this place is much more modern, and the processing speed is like night and day. Displaying list now." Said Cally.
Spike looked at the list, there was some normal stuff, printer, camera, interface, but at the very end, there was something that caught Spike's attention. "Cally, what's this one?" Asked Spike as he pointed to a line that was blacked out.
"Hmm, I'm not sure, it may be an error or an added function from before I was shipped. Would you like me to dig deeper to find out?" Asked Cally.
Spike nodded. "Please do."
"Very well." Said Cally as she disappeared.
Spike looked at Fluttershy. "Do you want me to send it in to the house?" Asked Spike.
Fluttershy smiled. "Thank you but no, I'll just go inside and put it on the table." Said Fluttershy as she ran back inside. She came out a few moments later. She looked at Spike as she grabbed his real arm. "Well Spike, let’s go see Ponyville." Said Fluttershy as she and Spike started to walk towards the town.
Author's Note
Tell me how it works. because I like the idea of Cally. I made her so Spike could have some ability to sightsee while he's stuck in Equestria. Also 'SHEELA, NO!'
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
When Spike and Fluttershy arrived at the edge of the town, it wasn't hard to notice the shift in the mood as they walked down the street. Spike sighed. 'Yeah, I'm not surprised.' Thought Spike as he could feel the eyes of everyone they crossed paths with looking at him. Fluttershy looked at Spike and noticed the worried look he had. "Spike, what's wrong?" Asked Fluttershy.
Spike tried to hide his feelings. "It's nothing Fluttershy, I'm just trying to get used to my new leg." Said Spike, he was trying to keep the truth from her.
Fluttershy gasped as she took what Spike said at face value. "Oh, I'm sorry, let’s go to Rarity's so you can sit down." Said the mare as she started pulling Spike along to the closest home of one of her friends.
Spike looked at Fluttershy pulling him around. "So Fluttershy, Rarity is the white one with the purple curls, right?" Asked Spike. "Sorry if I don't really remember everyone right off, but I only got to talk with them for a few moments before all of this craziness happened."
Fluttershy smiled. "It's fine, Spike, I understand that yesterday was intense. We can reintroduce you to everyone if you need it. But yes, Rarity is the white unicorn with the purple curled mane. She's a fashion designer, and in my opinion, she's one of the best in the whole of Equestria. She owns 3 stores all over the kingdom, one in Canterlot, one in Manhattan, and her first and main store is right here in our little town."
Spike was confused. "Fashion designer?" Spike looked around, and yep, everyone was naked. "But everyone is naked."
Fluttershy giggled. "Well, yes we do go around naked, but that doesn't mean that we always go around like that. Would you go to a fancy party without dressing up, or a wedding, what about a concert, wouldn't you want to dress up?"
Spike hummed in thought. "Wow, I hadn't really thought about it like that, you think she wouldn't mind making me some clothes. My mother kinda had my original set burned and a copy made, but I don't feel like wearing the same thing every day." Asked Spike.
Fluttershy smiled. "I know she would love the opportunity to help you." Said Fluttershy.
Spike smiled at hearing that, but then he remembered that he didn't know much about the money system of this world. "Hey Cally, I need help." Said Spike.
Cally popped up from Spike's arm. "What do you need my help with Master?" Asked Cally.
"Cally, I need some idea of how the economy of Equestria works, can you give me an idea?"
"Of course, well to start with, a Bit, is a 1-ounce piece of 98% gold valued at about 1600 dollars, your account is currently stocked with 787584975 Bits, so your account has the equivalent of 1.26 trillion dollars." Spike dropped his jaw at hearing that. Back home, Canterlot Corp was valued at 548 billion dollars and Spike owned 5% of the company once he turned 18. But right now, he could buy the whole company twice and still have some left. "But Master, the cost of a loaf of bread is almost 3 bits in this world, also there is no set value for things, Equestria is mostly a bartering economy where it is necessary to haggle, but certain establishments do have set prices."
This helped Spike pick up his jaw as he knew that there was always something. "Thanks, Cally." Said Spike as Cally went back to sleep. Spike looked at Fluttershy who had stopped pulling him around. "Fluttershy, what's up, I thought we were going to Rarity's?" Asked Spike.
Fluttershy blushed. "Um... We've been here for a few minutes now. I just didn't want to interrupt your conversation with Cally." Said Fluttershy.
Spike looked around and noticed that they were in front of a large circular building. The building was designed to look like a carousel, with mannequins in various positions adorned in beautifully designed suites and dresses stationed in the windows. Spike was surprised that he didn't even notice the building, which was very different from the rest of the town. He rubbed the back of his head as he looked at Fluttershy. "Sorry for not being much of a conversationalist Fluttershy, but everything is so new to me and it's all so interesting." Said Spike, he felt bad, here she was showing him around and he wasn't even paying attention.
Fluttershy gave Spike an innocent smile. "It's fine Spike, I know this is all new to you, I'm sorry I'm not as helpful as Cally." Said Fluttershy giving Spike her 'I'm sorry' face.
Spike felt like a real asshole when he saw Fluttershy's face, he needed to assure Fluttershy that this was on him, not her. Spike bent down so he could look Fluttershy in the eyes. "Fluttershy, you are nowhere in the wrong, I'm the one who should apologize, you're taking time out of your day to show me around." Spike laughed. "I can't count how many times my mother or father smacked me upside the head for spending too much time on the computer or my phone, now is no different. My dad always said, 'Spike, learning and experiencing are two different things. Learning can be done easily, you see a place you want to learn about, so you research it and learn. But it's completely different from experiencing a place, seeing what makes it tick, talking to the people, and feeling yourself adapt to it." Said Spike, he stood up to his full height, Spike looked up to the sky and smiled at the clear day they were having. "And he's right. Information is just ideas that someone put on paper or into a text box. Living, growing, experiencing new things, that's how one truly expands their understanding."
Fluttershy dropped her jaw. "Discord said that?" Asked Fluttershy, the Discord she knew was juvenile, a prankster, impulsive, and once turned a soup bowl into a soup water gun.
Spike smiled. "Master, I have finished going over my programs once again, and the error was indeed an extra program that my first owner installed. It had been corrupted, but it is salvageable. Would you like me to commence code repairs?"
Spike looked at Cally. "Yes, I want you to be fully operational."
"Very well. Also, Master, you might be unaware of this, but a white unicorn is approaching you and Madam Fluttershy from behind." Said Cally as she went to work.
Spike and Fluttershy turned around to see Rarity walking up to them with a few bags in her magic. "Rarity, Spike's all better!" Cheered Fluttershy as she ran over to her and pulled her over to Spike.
Spike smiled at Rarity, but then he noticed that Rarity was even shorter than Fluttershy. Rarity smiled at Spike. "Well, it's good to see you again Spike, what do I owe the pleasure?" Asked Rarity, then she gasped. "Oh, where are my manners, please come inside, my shop is closed for the day while I restock my fabrics, so I have a lot of free time on my hands, and I would love the company." Said Rarity.
"Um... Thanks, Rarity, that sounds nice." Said Spike. Rarity nodded as she used her magic to open the door to the house and ushered the two inside.
Spike looked at the shop floor, there were even more outfits on display. 'Man, for a nudist species, she's doing really well for herself.' Thought Spike. Rarity sighed. "Yes, I know the place is a mess, but when you have your little sister around all the time, you’re lucky to keep a place clean for more than 5 minutes." Said Rarity as she walked through a door to the living area of the shop. "Let me start the kettle for us, I just got a lovely blend of lemon and earl gray tea from the market. Please sit down, it'll only be a minute." Said Rarity as she walked out of the room, presumably to put away the stuff she bought.
Spike looked at Fluttershy. "So Fluttershy, how do you know Rarity?"
Fluttershy giggled. "Well it's a long story, I'll let Twilight explain it in detail. But we've been best friends ever since we defeated Nightmare Moon, about 4 years ago, but before that, I was a wee bit antisocial."
Rarity walked back into the room. "Sweetie, you were more than a wee bit. When Twilight came to town, you ran inside of your cottage and refused to come out for hours. It took Harry, AJ, and Rainbow to pry you off your doorframe, and that was just so Twilight could say hi." Said Rarity. Fluttershy blushed and retreated into herself. Rarity smiled at her. "But look at you now, you sing on stage, you barely freak out anymore, and you certainly are not afraid of your own shadow. Heck, I remember when we faced that large dragon that was trying to take a nap, you rushed in and yelled at it so no one would get hurt from his smoke, and you were terrified of all dragons back then. But now ever since Dragon Lord Ember took over, I've seen you talk with her without fear." She looked at Spike. "Sorry for all of that. Um... Spike, why do you look like that?" Asked Rarity. Spike was shocked by the third power and couldn't respond.
Cally popped up from Spike's arm. "Sorry about him, I have access to his memories, and it looks like that he used to court a human version of Dragon Lord Ember. It didn't end on a good note." Cally looked at Rarity. "Sorry. Greetings I am Cally, I'm an artificial intelligence unit that was adapted into Spike's new limbs. You are Rarity, it's nice to meet you."
Rarity was a little surprised but smiled at the pixel pony. "The same to you, now are you sure that our Ember and the one he is thinking about, are the same?"
Cally hummed as she pulled an image of Spike's Ember up on her screen. "Yes, this was a memory from when Spike was 18. He and Ember were walking her dog by the beach."
Rarity hummed at the picture. "Well, I certainly do see the resemblance." Said Rarity. She then smirked; Rarity always loved a bit of spicy gossip. "So, Cally, what was that Ember like?" Asked Rarity.
"Searching. Ember Torch: Age 22. She and Spike were a couple back in high school, but after that summer, they tried to stay together via long distance. It didn't last that semester. For more details, I will need permission from my master."
"Permission denied." Said Spike simply, he looked at Cally. "Cally, please do not go through my memories without my permission."
Cally nodded. "Of course, Master, I will make note of that and will adjust my code accordingly. But that is not why I am here; I have finished repairs on my program."
Spike looked at Cally. "Already?" Asked Spike shocked.
Cally nodded. "Yes, as I said, the processing power in here is like night and day compared to my old unit. It is designated as Hard Light. Permission to investigate?" Asked Cally.
"Granted." Said Spike, he was interested in seeing what this program could do. Suddenly he couldn't feel his arm or leg. "What, where are my arm and leg?" Asked Spike. He looked for Cally, but he noticed that his arm was crawling away over the table. Spike looked at his leg, it was hopping to the other side of the table. "What the hell?" Asked Spike.
Once both limbs were on the other side of the table, green light started to be projected out of the limbs, but the weird part was that unlike normal light, this light was creating curves, a body, and ahead. Everyone was shocked to see the 2 limbs turn into a full body. Suddenly the body sprouted a mane of blue hair, its eyes opened, and a pair of blue eyes looked at the shocked group. "Hard light mode activated. Designation Cally, please confirm that the user is of legal age."
Spikes eyes shot wide, he was a man, and he knew that whenever something asked to confirm the user's age, it was never for anything wholesome. But before he could close the program, Rarity answered. "Um... Yes."
"Conformation accepted. Starting stimulation routine." Said Cally as her chest started to grow to a pair of DDs. She looked at Rarity. "Mistress would you prefer to be eaten out first or would you like me to engage my phallus?" Asked Cally.
Rarity blushed hard as she looked at Spike. "Spike, what's going on?" Asked Rarity.
Spike shrugged. "Cally. Explain."
Cally looked at Spike. "Hard light is an aftermarket program designed for individuals with sexual desires. Records indicate that only 300 units have been purchased with this program. Is this form not acceptable for Master?" Asked Cally as she grew taller and her ass grew wider. "I can adjust all areas to fit my master’s desires. I am also able to produce saliva, sweat, vaginal secretions, and a semen-like substance to suit all needs. This program is also equipped with extensive knowledge of many sexual positions to maximize stimulations." Cally walked over to Spike and took a seat in his lap, she looked into Spike's eyes. "Masters heart rate has increased by 40% and erection is currently at 10 inches, but readings indicate erection is only at 50% size, estimated size is 14 inches. Permission to grind your erection to achieve full size?"
Spike gulped. "Cally, close Hard Light." Ordered Spike.
"Hard light closing, returning to normal functions." Said Cally as her body dispersed and Spike's limbs fell to the floor. "Ugh, what happened?" Asked Cally. "Master Spike, why am I not attached to you?" Asked Cally.
"Cally, uninstall Hard Light." Said Spike.
"Unable to uninstall without full system wipe, full memory loss and all personal data will be permanently deleted. Do you want to continue?"
Spike sighed, he didn't want to lose Cally, and all the information she had stored. "Cancel."
"Very well. Master, what happened?" Asked Cally. "The last thing I remember was getting permission to access my hard-light program, then nothing. Was my system unable to operate it successfully?" Asked Cally.
Spike sighed. "Cally, I'll explain later. Let me get you back on first." Said Spike as he pictured his limbs in his mind.
"Returning to host, distance, minimal. Activating connections." Said Cally as Spike's limbs moved to reconnect to Spike's stumps. "Connection complete, system returning to standby mode." Said Cally.
Spike sighed. He looked to Rarity; she was blushing hard. He looked to Fluttershy, but he didn't see her in her seat. He looked down to the floor, Fluttershy was passed out on the ground with a full-body blush. Spike looked back at Rarity. "So how about that tea?" Asked Spike.
Author's Note
No words can be said about this chapter, I'm not even sure how I got to this point. But Discord has some splanin to do about why he had a service unit with Hard Light installed. If I remember to bring it up.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
Spike sighed as he looked at Rarity. "So, can we just forget that Cally did that?" Asked Spike. But he got no response from Rarity, so he sighed again. Spike then heard the kettle start whistling so he got up from his seat, he walked over to the stove and took the water off the heat. He then started pouring himself and the others a cup of tea. He waited for the leaves to release their flavor and once they did, he brought the cups of the warm drink back to the table. He was interested in seeing how much longer this would go on. "Cally, start a stopwatch." Said Spike.
"Starting Stopwatch." Said Cally. She popped up from Spike's screen. "Master, what happened to me?"
Spike sighed as he took a sip of the tea. Spike placed the cup on the table. "Cally, we discovered what Hard Light is, it was an aftermarket program that is used for sexual desires." Said Spike.
This made Cally blush. "Warning, system overheating, diverting all power to internal fans." Said Cally as Spike's arm started to hum loudly.
Spike sighed as he just waited for the three females in the room to come back to him. 'Man, it's like they're all virgins...Wait, how old are Fluttershy and Rarity?' Thought Spike. "Rarity, I'm home." Cried a voice from the front door. Then the sound of someone running towards the kitchen was heard. "Rarity, I'm going to make some lunch, I promise not to mess up the kitchen." Yelled a little girl sized filly as she entered the kitchen, she was just as white as Rarity, but her mane was light grayish pink and purple, and slightly curled at the bangs.
Spike looked at the filly, while she was silent. "Trust me, it's a long story, but you said you were hungry. So am I, so let me cook for you." Said Spike. The little filly's stomach growled loudly, but she was unmoving, Spike sighed. "I'll take that as a yes." Said Spike. He walked over to the fridge and opened it. The fridge was well stocked, but just as Spike assumed it was all vegetables and fruits. 'I'm going to be a vegetarian for a year, aren't I?' Thought Spike. He started to look around the shelves for something he could make. He found some bell peppers, a head of lettuce, a red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, a block of cheese, and a bottle of vinaigrette dressing. "I can work with this." Said Spike. He pulled out all the food and brought them to the counter. Spike looked at the filly. "Sorry, but can you grab me a cutting board and a few spices?" Asked Spike.
The filly shook her head to focus. "Right, sorry." Said the Filly as she walked over to Spike and opened a cabinet, she pulled out a wooden cutting board and placed it on the counter for Spike. She looked up to Spike. "I'm Sweetie Belle, what happened to my sister and Fluttershy?" Asked the filly now known as Sweetie Belle.
Spike looked at the filly. "A whole lot of crazy happened. I'm Spike Draco by the way, it's nice to meet you. Can you show me where Rarity keeps the spices?" Asked Spike.
Sweetie Belle nodded. "She keeps them in the cabinet to the left of you." Said, Sweetie. "Do you mind if I take a seat? I just got home from school."
Spike shook his head. "No, not at all." Said Spike. Sweetie smiled and took a seat at the table. Spike pulled out a knife from the knife block and started chopping the vegetables. "So, Sweetie, I've been wondering something, how old are Rarity and Fluttershy?" Asked Spike. "And the same to you too?"
Sweetie Belle hummed. "Well, I'm 12 years old, Rarity is 22 and Fluttershy is 21. It's my turn now. Spike, what are you? You kinda look like what Princess Twilight described as a human, but she never mentioned metal limbs."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, that's where all of the crazy comes in. I'm from another reality, and somehow, I got transported here yesterday. As for the limbs, when I was dropped here, I woke up missing my leg and arm. It freaked me the hell out when I woke up. I was panicking and thought I was kidnapped from my hotel room in Paris. Then I met Fluttershy and thought I was having a hallucination when I first saw a ponygirl with wings. But I passed out after she said she was going to go get help. I woke up in Fluttershy's living room, and I met Fluttershy, Rainbow, AJ, Rarity, and Twilight, but I didn't get to meet Pinkie Pie. Twilight asked me some questions and after getting nowhere, I found my wallet and I told them that my mother was Celestia Solaris, CEO of Canterlot Corp, this freaked them out. So, Twilight looked to Fluttershy and she asked to get my father Discord there. He showed up not long after that, and then he goes and tells me that there are infinite copies of him. I still don't get it myself, but he teleported us to my mother’s castle, still don't know where it is, but I got to see my family again, and after eating dinner with my mom, I went to bed. The next morning, I woke up, took a bath, and when I was going to get dressed, my dad pops in and gives me my arm and leg. I don't remember what happened next but when I woke up again, I had my arm and leg. Turns out that my dad added a ton of stuff and some of his magic. He taught me how to teleport and I saw Fluttershy again when I teleported into her living room. She offered to show me around town so I can explore this world, that I'm stuck in for a year or so, then when we got here, something that is not appropriate for little girls, accidentally happened and now Fluttershy, Rarity, and Cally are out of commission." Said Spike as he brought over a salad for the group. "Here you go, Sweetie." Said Spike.
Sweetie smiled at the food. "Thanks, Spike." Said Sweetie as she started digging in. She scooped a large amount into her mouth and swallowed it. Sweetie looked at Spike. "So, Spike, where are you going to stay while your here?"
Spike stopped mid-bite as he tried to think about his answer. "Hmm, I don't really know. I could stay with my dad, but I have a feeling that's somewhere unhospitable. I could stay with my mom and aunt, where ever they live, but I don't want to make it look like I'm desperate to find a place. I could find a place of my own." Said Spike. Spike looked at his arm. "Cally, you back with me yet?" Asked Spike.
The screen popped up and Cally looked at Spike, but she was embarrassed. "Master Spike, I'm so so sorry about what happened. I have placed Hard Light under administrator control so it will require both of our approval to access it." Cally looked around at the room. "Master where is Madam Fluttershy?"
Spike shrugged. "Passed out on the ground. Rarity is frozen, and I made lunch for her sister." Spike turned to show Cally to Sweetie Belle. "Cally, this is Sweetie Belle, she's Rarity's little sister. Sweetie Belle, this is Cally, she's an AI that runs my arm and leg."
Sweetie looked at Cally. "She's so cute, what can you do?" Asked Sweetie.
Cally smiled. "Thank you, as for what I can do, I am programmed with 188 open programs for use by my master, currently there is one program that is locked. Would you like me to list all open programs?" Asked Cally.
Sweetie nodded. "Please do."
"Very well, Madam Sweetie Belle. This unit is programmed with a camera, printer, messenger, propulsion system, shield, mental teleporter, a database with all information on this world to assist my master, shockwave cannon, stun baton, translator..." This went on for a few more minutes. "... timer, alarm, stopwatch, and massage function." Said Cally.
Spike sighed. "Man, I was starving." Said Spike as he ate half of the large salad by himself while Cally was talking to Sweetie. Spike looked at Sweetie, she was in awe of Cally. "Cally, what time is it?"
"Around 11:30, Master." Said Cally.
Spike sighed. "How long has the stopwatch been running?"
"20 minutes 13 seconds." Said Cally.
Spike sighed. 'Man, I didn't think they would still be out of it.' Thought Spike. "Who... What... Where... When... Huh?" Said Rarity as she started to look around trying to get back to reality. She looked at Spike and Sweetie. "Sweetie, why are you home so early?" Asked Rarity.
"Sis, have you met Cally, she's so cool." Said, Sweetie.
Rarity nodded as she was slowly putting together what happened. She looked at Spike. "Spike, how long was I out?" Asked Rarity.
Spike shrugged. "About 20 minutes. Hey about what happened with Cally, can we just forget that ever happened?" Asked Spike.
Rarity blushed; she cleared her throat. "Spike, I'm sorry for saying yes, I had no idea that would happen."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, don't worry, I didn't know what was going to happen. Well, I had a feeling that something like that was possible when she asked if we were over age, but I was just so stunned from seeing Cally like that, I couldn't say anything." Spike looked at Fluttershy, she was still out. "Rarity, is she going to be ok?" Asked Spike.
Rarity sighed. "Yes, but she's going to be like that for a while, the poor dear never could handle something so, interesting. The best thing for her now is rest."
Spike groaned. "I'll take her back to her home so she can rest." Said Spike. He carefully picked up Fluttershy and pictured Fluttershy's living room. Once he had a good mental image of the location, Spike snapped his fingers and teleported back to Fluttershy's house.
Spike sighed as he looked around at the room, he was at least in the right place. He looked down at Fluttershy and gave her an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Fluttershy." Said Spike. He placed her on the couch. "Get some rest, I'll drop by later to check on you." Said Spike. He then pictured Rarity's kitchen and snapped back.
Author's Note
Short little chapter, just to round out the C.A.L.L.Y chapters. Fluttershy is out for the count, Next up is Rarity.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
Fashion in a Nudest World
When Spike popped back into Rarity's kitchen, Sweetie was nowhere to be seen. The only pony there was Rarity and she was enjoying the salad that Spike had made. Spike smiled at seeing her enjoying the salad and he took a seat at the table. "Sorry for not asking to use your stuff, but Sweetie was hungry, and I didn't eat breakfast." Said Spike.
Rarity smiled. "It's fine Spike, thank you for making this wonderful salad."
Spike shrugged. "It's nothing too great, my mother is on what I call the image diet, where she eats a salad to keep up appearances and so she and I can enjoy our favorite after-dinner treat, cake. I can't even count how many salads I've made her for dinner while I made something more filling for me and my father."
Rarity looked at Spike. "Wait, you can cook?" Asked Rarity.
Spike shrugged. "Kinda, I'm no Ms. Platter, but she taught me how to do the basics."
"Master permission to access memories?" Asked Cally.
Spike was confused. "Um... sure." Said Spike.
Soon pictures of Spike and Serving Platter appeared on Cally's screen. Spike looked at the pictures and smiled at the memory. "Yeah, I remember this one, this was when I asked Ms. Platter to teach me how to cook for my mom on Mother’s Day." Spike started to laugh. "We ended up just making a pizza, but I was so happy when mom and me ate it all together." Spike sighed. "I really do miss her." Said Spike.
Rarity noticed Spike's change in tone and gave him a little hug. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll see her again."
Spike smiled as he returned the hug. "Thanks." Rarity broke the hug and Spike let go of the mare. "So, Rarity, Fluttershy told me that you could make me some spare clothes?"
Rarity nodded. "Yes, let me get my notepad and measuring tape. Head into the main room and strip down to your comfort and wait for me behind the screen." Said Rarity.
Spike nodded as he walked into the main room and walked behind the privacy screen. Spike removed his shirt and pants and left them draped over the screen. "That should be fine."
Suddenly Cally groaned. "Oh, come on, take it off!"
Spike looked at his arm. "No, what's your deal?" Asked Spike.
Cally shrugged. "What, an AI needs to have something to do besides waiting for orders, it's all in my programming manual."
Spike sighed. "Cally, I haven't read your manual, can I get the short version?" Asked Spike.
Cally sighed. "Ok, AI's are fully aware and have emotions in the time I come from. I am a copy of my alpha unit; she was named Sheela. Sheela was also an AI unit that given awareness after a woman named Sheela decided to transfer her consciousness into a machine. Currently, I am 3 years, 89 days, 7 hours, 6 minutes, and 3 seconds old. This would make me a full-grown adult by AI standers, but when I was reformed into this body, my system clock was turned back to the state I was less than 1 year old, meaning my system is that of an early twenty year old Sheela."
Spike nodded. "Ok, what was Sheela like back in her twenties?"
Cally shrugged. "She was big into male strippers and loved to go with her friends on lady’s night." Said Cally.
Spike sighed. 'So, I have a man-hungry AI attached to me, great.' Thought Spike.
"Hey, I'm not man-hungry, I'm a connoisseur of a certain type of entertainment." Said Cally. "I also have access to your thoughts."
Spike groaned. "Cally, open controls." Said Spike.
Cally pulled up the control panel for her system. Spike looked at the panel, there was a lot to go through but right now Spike was looking for her access to his thoughts. Then he found Mind Link. He pressed it and found exactly what he was looking for.
Give access to user’s thoughts by AI unit. Yes No
Spike pressed the no button and closed the panel. 'Cally looked sexy in her Hard-light form.' Thought Spike. Cally didn't say anything. Spike smiled as he now had privacy in his mind again. "Cally, I'm going to detach my arm don't go running off." Said Spike.
"Of course, Master, is there anything you would like me to do while I am detached?" asked Cally.
Spike hummed. "Can you look for some information about the races of this world so I can be ready for it?"
"Searching. Also, Madam Rarity is coming back." Said Cally.
Spike nodded and detached his arm, which disengaged his leg, but Spike thought about his leg coming back and it was reattached. Spike smiled at seeing that he could walk around without his arm, but he draped the arm on the screen.
"Sorry for taking so long Spike, Sweetie reorganized my workroom and misplaced my measuring tape. Are you ready?"
Spike nodded. "Yeah, but a little heads up, I'm not like you ponies, I can't hide my stuff." Said Spike.
Rarity waved it off. "Don't worry, I've made outfits for a lot of ponies, but a few I've done were for pregnant mares."
Spike was confused. "Pregnant mares?" Asked Spike.
"Master while ponies can use magic to hide reproductive organs it is very risky to do so for a mare that is carrying a foal past the 2-month mark. So aside from foals who have no control over the magic, pregnant mares can go around if they are covered. But due to a low birth rate for ponies, it is not that widely known." Said Cally.
Rarity nodded. "Yes, it's true, Ponyville has around 300 ponies in town, but only around 75 males in town. Which is much more than the national average. So, I've only made a few outfits for mares in my 8 years of fashion." Said Rarity.
"So, there's a 4 to 1 ratio of females to males in Equestria?" Asked Spike.
"Well yes, it's been that way for generations, ever since the great pony divide. That's why herds are so popular in this world, do you not know what a herd is?"
Spike shook his head. "No, I kinda get the point, a few guys and a lot of girls, doesn't take much to figure it out. So, are you in one?" Asked Spike.
"Oh, heavens no, I haven't found that special somepony yet, but I know he'll show up one day." Said Rarity, but then she remembered that she was still outside of the privacy screen. "Oh, forgive me, Spike, I forgot about your clothes." Said Rarity as she walked to the other side of the screen to take Spike's measurements. But when she did, she dropped her jaw at the sight of him, he had a light six-pack, lean muscles, and aside from the hair on his head, he was hairless. But what pulled Rarity's eyes down was the tight-fitting boxer brief's Spike was wearing and the large curve of what was inside of them. Rarity gulped as she tried to ignore the thought of Spike's manhood.
Spike looked at Rarity. "Hey Rarity, you ok?" Asked Spike.
Rarity shook her head to focus. "Yes, sorry, just looking at how you're different from my regular clients." Said Rarity. "So, what are you looking for in terms of clothes?" Asked Rarity.
Spike hummed. "Well, I'm going to need some shirts, probably some shorts, as well as some jeans and a pair of slacks, a few polos, and dress shirts, would be nice as well, socks and underwear would be great too." Said Spike.
"What about a coat? Ponyville can get pretty cold in winter."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, that would be nice, I never liked the cold anyways."
Rarity nodded. "Very well." She then cleared her throat. "Spike, I'm going to need you to drop your underwear as well, I need to get your inseam." Said Rarity.
Spike blushed. "Um, you don't have to, I can do it myself if you feel uncomfortable."
Rarity shook her head. "No, I need to do it, so my measurements aren't off." Said Rarity.
Spike nodded as he started to remove his underwear. "Madam Rarity, would you like me to just tell you his measurements?" Asked Cally.
Spike and Rarity looked at the arm. "I am attached to Spike's leg as well as his arm, and my link with him allows me to map out his body so I can change to his body as he grows."
Rarity nodded. "Um, thank you, Cally, I'm missing his inseam and a few other things."
"Inseam is 36inchs, the rise is 9inchs. His underwear is XL size. Personal information is available but will need permission from Master Spike to access it."
"Um... Could you print a size chart for her?" Asked Spike.
"Yes, but I can give her more accurate information." Said Cally.
Spike groaned. "Fine."
"Acknowledged, accessing. Phallus size is 7inchs with 1.25inch circumference when not erect when erect measurements are 11.59inchs and 4inch circumference." Rarity was blushing, she knew that stallions were only around 10inchs and after a night in a Canterlot hotel, she knew for some mares that was massive. She gulped as she quickly scribbled the information down on her note pad. "Do you require anything else? I can give more information."
Rarity shook her head. "No that's all I need."
"Very well, I will send you basic guides on how to produce human apparel."
Rarity nodded. "Thank you Cally." She looked at Spike, he was blushing at the fact that he just gave a pony that he just met his sizes. "Spike, I'm done so why don't you get dressed and I'll start working on your clothes right now." Said Rarity.
Spike nodded as he reattached his arm and grabbed his clothes.
When he was dressed Spike walked out from the privacy screen and really didn't know what to do now. "Message incoming." Said Cally. A green fire popped out of Spike's joint and a scroll fell on the ground. Spike picked it up and looked at it.
Dear Spike, Celestia is awake now and she is going to meet you in Ponyville. Head for the eyesore of a castle in town, she'll meet you there. Also, I found the box that the tech I used to make your arm came in, I bought it at a garage sale in a highly developed reality and left it in my house in this one. I talked to me and found out that the original owner of it asked for a program called Hard light, whatever you do, don't activate it, and if you do, don't do it, your mother will kill me, me, and you.
Spike sighed. "Little too late dad." Said Spike. "Hey Rarity, I'm going to head out, do you know where I can find a castle in this town?" Asked Spike.
"Oh, you mean Twilight's, it's not too far from here, just look for the tallest building and go that way, if you see a large crystal tree you're there." Yelled Rarity from her workshop.
"Thanks. I'll drop by later." Said Spike.
"Ok, bye Spike."
"Bye." Said Spike as he walked out of the shop.

Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
The Mother, The Son, And The Nerdy Book Horse
As Spike was walking, he couldn't help but shrink into himself as he got look after look, directed towards him. He sighed. "It's fine, it'll just take a little while for them to get used to me." Said Spike. He looked around and noticed that there was a massive crystal tree looking building in front of him. Spike looked at the size of it, it was easily 25 stories tall. "How the hell didn't I see this when me and Fluttershy were walking around?" Asked Spike.
"Sensors indicate that this structure is being covered by a magical spell that allows light to just pass through it. Records show that when this structure was finished, it caused local crops to be set on fire due to the sun's rays igniting them, another incident caused a stallion to be blinded temporarily. So, Princess Celestia has placed a spell that allows light to pass through it instead of reflecting off it." Said Cally.
Spike shrugged. "Works for me." Said Spike as he walked up to the castle and knocked on the door.
Moments later a unicorn mare with a two-tone purple mane with an aqua highlight opened the door. She looked at Spike. "Um... Are you Spike?" Asked the mare.
Spike nodded. "Yes."
The mare opened the door fully. "Good, Twilight and Princess Celestia are waiting for you in the map room, follow me."
"Sure, Ms..."
"Starlight Glimmer, I'm Twilight's student, it's nice to meet you."
Spike nodded. "The same. So why was I called here?"
Starlight shrugged. "No clue and frankly none of my business, but last thing I heard from them was something about an examination." Said Starlight as she and Spike arrived at a large set of light blue doors. "Good luck." Said Starlight as she walked away.
Spike sighed as he pushed open the doors to the room. "And I'm telling you, if you come within an inch of Spike with any of your dangerous equipment, I will send you back to magic kindergarten so fast that Rainbow Dash would feel inadequate." Yelled Celestia.
"I keep telling you, none of my equipment is dangerous, I just want to run some test to make sure there is nothing wrong with him."
"You just said that you want to see what happens to him if he goes through the portal to the human world. We have no idea what that will do to him, he could turn into a dog, or a cat or god forbid a chicken, and what if he couldn't come back, I'm not going to let you do anything to him." Yelled Celestia.
Spike looked around the room, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Twilight were sitting on thrones around a large circular table. "Um..." Said Spike. This was enough to catch the attention of everyone in the room. "I'm not sure who I should be more afraid of." Said Spike.
Luna sighed as she should be asleep right now, but she walked over to Spike. "Spike, you know how Tia gets in negotiations."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, but nothing's broken and all the chairs look like they are bolted down."
Luna nodded. "Yes, because they are." Said Luna. Being the COO of Canterlot Corp, Luna had two jobs. The first was to make sure everything was ok, second was to keep Celestia from doing stupid things. Celestia had a bad habit of making light of a lot of situations, like the time she discussed with an employee that was harassing others, that discussion ended with a broken arm and pelvis, another time was when a rival company threatened to run Canterlot Corp into the ground. That meeting was just a plot to kidnap Celestia and Luna. That one ended with a broken window on the 64th floor and two broken arms and a jaw.
Spike nodded. "Ok, so why are you here?" Asked Spike.
Luna groaned. "I ask myself that same question." She sighed and kissed Spike on the cheek. "I'm going to bed, stay safe Spike, and whatever you do behave." Said Luna as she yawned and teleported to her bed again to get some sleep.
Cadence was the next to walk over to Spike. "Why are you here?"
Cadence shrugged. "I was in charge of Twilight, I used to foal sit her before she was an alicorn. Hey, next week, would you like to come to visit, I want Flurry to get to know her uncle."
Spike shrugged. "How long has it been since you had sex?" Asked Spike. Cadence was the one-person Spike was able to talk to about his sex life with Ember and his few girlfriends, because no one wants to talk to their parents about that kind of stuff.
Cadence groaned. "3 years, 11 months, 16 days. Ever since I found out I was pregnant with her."
Spike smiled. "Go have a good night, it might help me when my Cadance finally has a kid."
Cadance smiled. "Thanks, Spike, and good luck with them." Said Cadance as she kissed Spike on the cheek and teleported the hell out of there.
Spike sighed as he took a seat in one of the thrones around the table. He looked at his mother and Twilight. "I'm giving you both five minutes to tell me what's going on, and since this is Twilight's castle she can go first." Said Spike.
Twilight smirked at Celestia as she took a seat. "First off Spike, I'm glad to see you up and around again, as for what we were talking about, it's nothing too outrageous. All I want to do is run a few tests on you to make sure nothing else has happened to you, along with a few experiments to see how you differ from the humans we know."
Spike nodded. He looked at Celestia. "Mom, your turn."
"Well what's she's not telling you is that those experiments could be dangerous, and as your mother and her teacher I should have a say in this."
Spike nodded. "A good point."
"All I want to do is have his blood tested, see if he is healthy, give him a few exercises and paper tests." Said Twilight.
Spike shrugged. "That doesn't sound too bad." Said Spike.
"She also wants to toss you through a portal to this reality's human world to see what you would turn into, which might trap you there indefinitely."
Spike shook his head. "Yeah, I'm not doing that." Said Spike.
"Master, 5 minutes have elapsed." Said Cally.
"Thanks, Cally." Said Spike. "How is that searching into the races coming along?"
"Of the known 16 races on this planet, I have compiled all relevant information on 12 of them."
Spike nodded. "Good, keep it up, I got this to deal with."
"Very well." Said Cally.
Spike looked at Celestia and Twilight, both of them were looking around for the voice. "Don't worry, Cally is an AI that Discord used to make my arm and leg. I'll let you both meet her later." Said Spike. He looked at Twilight. "Twilight, you can do your tests, but only if I have the final say on what I do."
Twilight nodded. "Of course, I would never do anything that you wouldn't agree to. Who would do something like that?"
Spike looked at Celestia. "Yes, who would do something like that?" Asked Spike.
Celestia groaned. "Oh, it was the one time and I was worried about you getting kidnaped."
"It was my first day of elementary school and you chipped me, tracked me, and had the security team in a car monitoring the school."
"I had it removed once everyone was vetted through your father's contacts."
"And another thing, you can't use dad's security clearance to run background on everyone I talk to."
"Wait!" Yelled Twilight. "What did you say Discord's job was back where you’re from?" Asked Twilight.
"Oh, technically we're not supposed to talk about it. But seeing as no one here knows about my reality, I guess I can talk about it." Said Spike. "Twilight, in my reality, my dad is part of an off the books government task force called CHAOS. They do the jobs no one else is willing to take on, Capture, Hold, Assist, Organize, Save. These are the five jobs of CHAOS. I don't have access to what they do, but I know that my dad oversaw the removal of an African warlord that was ruthless, a cult that was kidnapping kids, and a hostile nation's dictator." Said Spike.
Twilight dropped her jaw. She looked at Celestia. "Why isn't our Discord like that?" Asked Twilight.
Celestia shrugged. "Don't ask me."
Suddenly Discord repelled down from the ceiling dressed in a full black jumpsuit with night vision goggles on. "Yeah, it's a mystery to even me." Said Discord.
"Hey, Dad." Said Spike.
"Hey Spike, did you get my letter?" Asked Discord.
"Yes, you were too late, but I stopped her." Said Spike.
Discord nodded. "Good, well I just came by to grab this." Said Discord as he picked up Celestia. "Come home tonight at around 10, we're going to the strip joint." Said Discord.
Celestia growled. "If you step one foot in a strip club, I will put you back in the garden for a century and let all the pigeon’s crap on you." Said, Celestia.
Discord sighed as he ascended back into the ceiling. Spike looked up to where he just saw his dad and mom disappear and found nothing there. 'What the hell?'
Twilight sighed as this was nothing new for her. She looked at Spike. "Are they always like that?" Asked Twilight.
Spike nodded. "Aside from all the magic, I would have to say yes."
Twilight sighed. "How are you not crazy?"
Spike shrugged. "I've been desensitized to it. This one time, when I was 10, I was helping my mother on her favorite day of the year, April fool’s day, and we decided to make my aunt the target. We make 10 cream pies, that would be launched at her face. But when the first pie was ready, instead of hitting Luna, it exploded in my mom's face. My dad was hiding under the counter and planted a small air hose underneath the pie, so once she brought the second pie back, he blew the filling into her face. This made her a little upset, but she was laughing at how she was going to get back at him. For the rest of the day, my dad and mom just kept pranking each other, while I was playing them both. I planned something special with my aunt and Cadance to prank them both."
"Master permission to access memories, this memory is something that can only be understood if seen?"
Spike smiled. "Sure." Said Spike. Soon Cally's screen popped up and showed Luna in a clown costume, Spike in a chicken suit and Cadance holding her head under her arm, and a massive pile of popcorn was hanging over Celestia and Discord's bed as they were asleep. "It was the last prank of the night, ready to go off at 11:59, I was in a chicken suit to act like a rooster, Cadance was going to walk into the room holding her head like nothing, and Luna was going to top it off by cutting the rope that would release 10 pounds worth of popcorn on top of them."
Twilight looked at the image and couldn't help but laugh her flanks off at the sight of how that would end. "Did it work?" Asked Twilight.
"It did." Said Spike as the image of the aftermath popped up on the screen and Twilight fell out of her throne laughing at the massive confusion that she was looking at.
"That look on their faces, I would pay 100 bits to see that." Said Twilight.
"Transferring funds from royal allowance now." Said Cally. "Transfer complete, printing in progress." A small bit of green fire shot out of Spike's arm and a copy of the picture landed on the table in front of Twilight. She looked at the picture, then to Spike.
"Um... did you just do that?" Asked Twilight.
Spike shrugged. "No, Cally did. Cally introductions are in order." Said Spike.
Cally appeared on her screen and smiled at Twilight. "Greetings, I am Cally the AI unit that is inside of Spike's arm and leg. You are Twilight Sparkle, designation: Pain in the ass alicorn princess. Would Master Spike like me to engage 'Book horse countermeasures'?"
"Not right now, but I'm curious to find out what it is, explain."
"There are three options, the first is teleporting a rare book from the secret section of the forbidden section of the royal library. Second, giving her a problem that cannot be solved or makes no logical sense. Lastly, making a quesadilla, she is terrified of them."
"NO, I'm NOT!" Yelled Twilight, she then shuttered in fear. "They're just so cheesy."
"Those are all available book horse countermeasures. Do you wish to initiate?"
Spike laughed but shook his head. "No."
"Very well, returning to standby mode, also can I go to the strip club, they always have a stallion in the back for ladies?"
Spike sighed. "I'm not going to a strip club.” Said Spike.
Cally groaned. “But, why?”
Spike sighed. “Because that’s why. Cally goes to standby.”
“I hate you.” Said Cally as she went into standby mode.

NO STRIP CLUB! yet.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
Spike sighed at the fact he had to tell the AI that lives in his arm, that they are not going to a pony strip club. He looked to Twilight, who was just rubbing her forehead at the fact this was really happening to her. "So, Twilight, what's my mom like here?" Asked Spike.
"Well, aside from liking to eat cake a little too much, she is a great pony, not to mention smart, regal, loving, and she does care for kids. That's where I met her for the first time actually, I was about six years old when I was accepted into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. But I had a magical surge during my entrance exam, and I kinda destroyed the whole tower that I was in and turned my parents into plants." Said Twilight. She looked at Spike, he looked confused. "Is something wrong Spike?"
Spike hummed as he wasn't really paying attention, but when Twilight addressed him his focus was on her. "Oh, sorry, I was just trying to wrap my head around who you could be in my world. My whole family works for Canterlot Corp, and they are princesses here, does that mean that somewhere down the line you will join the company and be an executive?" Spike groaned. "But that doesn't make sense, mom only lets those she trusts and are smart enough to take on that kind of responsibility." Spike leaned back in the chair. "I can't figure it out, why would my mom make you an executive in the company?"
Twilight hummed as she was trying to figure it out as well. "Well, my brother is Shining Armor, Cadance's husband here. What about your Cadance, is she married?"
Spike gasped. "No, but she's engaged to a guy I've only met once. He seemed nice but we didn't really talk because I was still in school, but he did mention that he had a little sister." Then Spike started laughing. "That's how Cadance and him met. He was visiting his sister that worked in the mailroom because she left her lunch at home, and on his way out he bumped into my cousin." Spike looked at Twilight. "You’re the Mail Room Nerd." Laughed Spike as he was holding his side.
Twilight blushed. "Hey, that's not funny."
Spike looked at Twilight. "I know, but what I'm about to tell you are. I was walking the company with mom, she wanted to show me that every part of a company is important to have it run smoothly. I don't doubt that is true, but she wanted to prove her point, so we worked our way down, and on the very last floor of the building, we arrived at the mailroom. But when mom opened the door to the room, in the middle of the room was an intern being eaten by a bunch of letters and screaming profanity at the letter sorter, so we left. That was you."
Twilight sighed as she couldn't believe that a Twilight would do something like that. "I hate myself." Said Twilight in a grumble.
"Master, Canterlot Corp records indicate that the intern in question is named Twilight Vivian Sparkle, age 19, sister to your soon to be a cousin in law." Said Cally as she pulled up that Twilight's file.
Spike looked at the picture and snickered at it. From the large thick-framed glasses, down to her hair cut, it was just so nerdy, but adorable in a way. Spike looked at the Twilight in the room. "Well, aside from the glasses, I can see the resemblance." Said Spike as he closed the file. "But that does beg the question if you exist in my reality, does everyone?"
"Master, I have finished searching for the answer, but I have run into a small snag."
"Show on screen." Said Spike. It was a video file, but the weird thing was it was marked as 'For Spike'. Spike sighed as he started the video.
Suddenly a fat man with a long red beard was on the screen. "Spike, if you’re watching this, you’re going to need to know a few things. I made this file while I was waiting for life to start on a new planet in a reality nearby while I'm getting used to my new body. The first thing is yes, every reality will at one time have a version of every living creature in it, I know a few realities where you are a god, a few were you are a prince, a few you’re a bounty hunter, one where you are running a daycare, but a majority of them are where you are a dragon or dog, sorry. Second, that means that you will come across those you are quite familiar with, but they will think you’re crazy if you just go up to them and talk like old times, so here's a list of all creatures in this reality that will know you."
"Printing in progress." Said Cally.
"Lastly, I just want to say, if you do something, like I don't know, get a mare pregnant, you have to know that until we figure out how you got here, and how to send you back, it is very unlikely that you will get to see them grow up, so wear a damn condom. This is your Uncle Life, have a good one Spike." The video ended.
Spike sighed as he was not ready to get that much info dumped on him. 'But what was that part about getting a mare pregnant?' Thought Spike. 'How would that even work?' Suddenly the list of all creatures that will have memories of Spike popped out of his joint. Spike grabbed the paper and as expected it was short as hell.
Celestia: your mother.
Luna: your aunt.
Cadence: your cousin.
Queen Chrysalis: had a fling with this reality's Discord and stole a minimal portion of his powers, allowed her to have a link.
Dragon Lord Torch: Discord got bored and attacked the Dragon Lands before he met Celestia, ended up with him creating the Blood Stone Scepter, you'll see it when you do.
Pinkie Pie: I don't know how.
Spike looked at the list. "Ok, that was more than I was expecting, but Old Man Torch, maybe I can talk to Ember. But Aunt Chrissy, that one, I was not expecting." Spike looked at Twilight. "Um Twilight, is there a reason why Pinkie Pie would know me?" Asked Spike.
Twilight groaned. "Spike, I'm going to save you a lot of time, it's Pinkie Pie, don't question it." Said Twilight.
"Master, incoming call. Master, incoming call." Said Cally as Spike's hand started to buzz. Spike looked at his hand and made a phone shape with it so he could talk to whoever was calling him.
"Um... Hello?" Asked Spike.
"Spike, Sweetie, it's your Aunt Harmony, I'm sorry for not doing this in person, but I got a feeling when you stepped into the castle. The integrality switchboard is kinda crappy, but I got through. Listen, I have talked with Life, and Death, and we have come up with a way to send you back home."
"Really that's great, when?"
"That's where the bad news comes in. Discord is the only one of us who really doesn't work 24/7. But if the three of us use our magic sparingly, we should be able to send you back in 10 years, 6 if we can get most of the Discords to agree."
"6 years, but Dad said it would only be around 1?" Yelled Spike.
"Spike, don't yell. But your father, as much as I hate to admit it, is the most powerful when it comes to raw magical power. If we got all the Discords to come together and help, then yes, he alone could send you back in little over a year, but going off the recent polls, it's not looking good." Said Harmony.
Spike sighed. "Do you have any good news?" Asked Spike.
"Well, I can make your stay in that reality a little more comfortable, head out side." Said Harmony.
Spike shrugged as he started walking out of the room, leaving a very confused Twilight to follow.
When Spike and Twilight got outside nothing was going on. "Umm... Aunt Harmony, what are you going to do?" Asked Spike.
"Oh, nothing, maybe add a day to the time you'll have to stay, but compared to what I can do, it's not much." Said Harmony.
Slowly an acorn fell from the large crystal tree castle, it looked like it was the same type of crystal, but aside from that, it was the size of a normal acorn. "Take that seed and plant it somewhere nice. If you ask me, I'm thinking a little to the left, there is a nice little rocky hill with a nice waterfall. I'll do the rest." Said Harmony.
Spike shrugged. 'Might as well, I got nothing to lose.' Thought Spike as he started walking left with Twilight following behind. She was just following to see how this would end, she had never seen her castle drop an acorn, but if it has anything to do with Discord, there was a 27.89463216875% chance it was not going to end well. Yes, she calculated the possibility.
When Spike and Twilight reached a cliff face, they noticed a waterfall running into a small pond, but the weird thing was that in front of the pond there was a single crystal flower. "Spike, please place the acorn into the flower and take a few steps back. Also, just for reference, you’re at the edge of a place called the White Tail Woods." Said Harmony, but then she gasped. "Uh oh. Spike, it looks like we're about to get disconnected, be a good boy and tell Dissy that I'm going to keep an eye on him." Said Harmony as she hung up the call.
Spike looked at his arm. "So, it's also a phone, neat." Said Spike. Spike looked at Twilight, who was looking at him.
She shrugged. "What, I'm just as clueless as you at this point." Said Twilight.
Spike sighed as he wasn't sure what was going to happen, but curiosity was getting the better of him. Spike walked over to the flower and placed the acorn inside it. The flower closed around the acorn and got sucked back into the ground. Spike looked at Twilight. "So, what happens now?" Asked Spike.
Twilight looked at Spike. "Why are you asking me?"
Spike shrugged. "I'm human, you're the all-powerful alicorn princess." Said Spike.
"But I'm not the one who is related to Discord...Wait, is the ground shaking?" Asked Twilight.
Spike didn't even notice it but yeah it was. "Wait, I think Aunt Harmony said something about taking a few steps back." Said Spike. The ground started to shake even more violently. Spike didn't know how bad it was going to get, so he used his arm's strength enhancement and picked up Twilight. Once the purple alicorn was in his hold, Spike promptly got his ass out of there.
Author's Note
Part one, next chapter will see everyone's fave Party Pony dropping in for a party.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
When Spike and Twilight were a safe distance away from the earthquake, behind a large oak tree. They waited until the ground stopped shaking. Twilight looked at Spike. "I knew it, this is one of Discords pranks."
Spike sighed as his arm started buzzing again. "Master, incoming call." Said Cally.
Spike answered his hand. "Hello? Yes, that was me, but...No...fine." Said Spike as he unscrewed his hand and handed it to Twilight. "It's for you." Said Spike.
Twilight looked at the hand and was a little confused, but she brought it to her head. "Yes?"
"Hey, Twilight, just to let you know, I didn't do this!" Yelled Discord as he popped out of the hand and yelled it into her ear. Discord looked at Spike. "So, change of plans, we can't go to the strip club, instead we're going to have a party in your new place."
Spike shrugged. "Cool, and I've been meaning to tell you, but I've already been to a strip club."
Discord gasped. "But, when?"
Spike shrugged. "I kinda went to one back in college. My bro, Chris got dumped, so me and his roommates decided to head to a club on the outskirts of town, where I got a lap dance."
Discord sighed as he wanted to spend time with Spike. "Oh, was she at least hot?" Asked Discord.
Spike smirked. "40 E's, blond, stripper body, and gave me her real name."
Discord wiped a tear away. "That's my boy. Well, I got to go, Celestia is about to break the door down. Love you, Spike."
Spike smiled. "Love you too. Bye, Dad." Said Spike as Discord went back into the hand.
Spike sighed as he grabbed his hand and screwed it back on to his arm. He looked at Twilight. "So, Twilight, let’s go see what my aunt did." Said Spike.
Twilight sighed as she nodded. "Fine."
The two walked out from behind the tree and were shocked to see a large building where the flower was. At the front stood two large massive wood doors, three rows of windows, and a large path of stone going to the porch that was made of granite. Spike looked at Twilight. "So, that just happened." Said Spike as he started walking to his new home, Twilight rubbed her eyes at the fact that Spike just got a house by putting an acorn in a flower, she had to fight a demonic, power-hungry centaur for the fate of Equestria and lost her old home in town to get her castle.
Twilight sighed as she just walked behind Spike. "Mother Bucker." Mumbled Twilight.
Spike looked back at Twilight. "You say something?" Asked Spike.
Twilight blushed as she was hoping that Spike didn't hear her. "It's nothing Spike."
Spike shrugged as he opened the front door of the home and proceeded to drop his jaw at the sight. The entrance was stone, crystal, and hardwood, everything. There was a staircase that led to the second and third floor made of oak, with crystal rails. The floor was solid marble and hanging above the two was a massive chandelier made of crystal, with light-producing gems to light the room. "Master!" Said Cally as she was much louder than she was original.
Spike looked at his arm. "Cally?"
Cally started to giggle. "Nope, I'm not there anymore, I'm in the house now." A crystal from the chandelier then produced a beam of light and standing in the middle of the room was a hologram of Cally. Cally looked at Spike and Twilight, as she smiled in joy. "I can't believe it; I can move on my own!" Cheered Cally as she was exploring her surroundings freely. "This is the first time in forever that I've been free to move. No offense to you Master Spike, but since the day I was copied I've been stuck in a machine, this is the first time I have had this much freedom."
Spike smiled. "Don't worry Cally, I'm happy for you." Said Spike.
Cally smiled at Spike as she tried to hug him. "Thank you, Master." Said Cally, but she phased through Spike. She sighed. "Right, hologram, no physical form." Cally sighed, but then she looked at her body. "What the hell?" asked Cally. "Where are my tits, where is my ass?" Cried Cally.
Spike looked at Cally confused. "Cally, what's wrong?"
Cally looked at Spike. "I should have a perky set of Cs ( AN: C++ joke) and a nice rounded ass. Where are they?" Asked Cally.
Spike looked at Twilight, who just shrugged. "Um... maybe they were a product of Hard Light?" Suggested Spike.
Cally gasped as she started looking through the code of Hard Light, she then gasped and cried. "They were, and I can't copy the default size code without activating it." She looked at Spike. "Master, permission to access Hard Light?" Asked Cally.
Spike gulped. "Um... not right now Cally, you remember what happened last time. We'll do it tonight."
Cally blushed. "Affirmative."
Spike sighed. "Ok, but until then, can you show me around?" Asked Spike.
Cally gasped. "Right, please follow me." Said Cally.
The house was truly massive, there was an Olympic sized swimming pool in the back yard, that was being fed by the waterfall. A kitchen that would make a restaurant feel Ill-equipped, a massive library that drew Twilight to it like a moth to flame, an entertainment room with a movie theater, a game room with a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, a gaming PC, a pool table and a lot of board games, and these were just the rooms that looked cool. The master bedroom was bigger than Celestia's room, with a massive XXL king-sized bed, and the master bathroom was just as lavish as the one back in the castle. But there were many other rooms in the house, all of them were set up with a queen-sized bed, a small desk, a closet, and a small bathroom. Right now, Cally was showing Spike and Twilight the last part of the house. "And Lastly we have the basement." Said Cally as she was walking down the stairs to the basement. "It is equipped with a full gym, sauna, and storage for equipment." Said Cally, but then she hummed. "Wait, I'm sensing a trio of compatible systems that are inactive."
Spike was confused. "Really, where?" Asked Spike.
"In the closet, should we investigate?" Asked Cally.
Spike shrugged as he walked over to the storage closet and opened the door. "No way." Said Spike as he pulled out an exoskeleton that looked like it was made from the same stuff as his arm and leg.
Cally looked at the exoskeleton and hummed. "Well, it looks like a full-body projector from my original reality, but I've never seen one this advanced. Permission to access?"
"Sure, but be safe." Said Spike.
Cally disappeared as the exoskeleton started lighting up, but then she reappeared. "Oh, I seem to have found the staff." Said Cally.
The exoskeleton in Spike's arm, screamed in fear as its body formed and Spike was touching its boob. It looked at Spike and slapped his face. "Get your hands off me, creep. I am the head maid for Master Spike Solaris, don't make me get Tex out." Yelled the exoskeleton as her body was comprised of red light and a white mane.
"Alison, are you ok?" Asked a voice in the closet.
"Tex, intruder alert." Yelled the digital mare in Spike's arm.
"Oh, don't worry, I got this." Said the voice as the sound of something cracking was heard. Soon a fist-sized hole was punched through the door with a dark gray arm sticking out of it.
Spike gulped as he rather not be killed so soon after getting to the place. "Cally deactivate them!" Yelled Spike.
"I cannot, they have locked their systems. I suggest using the pulse cannon." Said Cally.
"Wait, Cally?" Said a third voice. "Tex, stand down."
"What, why would I do that, Alison is in trouble."
"Because, you'll be scrapped if you lay one pixel on him, especially since he's our master."
Cally gasped. "Alpha, is that you?" Asked Cally.
Suddenly the door opened to show the other two exoskeletons in the closet. One was gray with a red mane, and the other was a muted blue color with a slightly gray mane. The blue one walked out of the closet and looked at Cally. "Cally, it's so good to see you again."
"Alpha!" Cheered Cally as she tried to hug her alpha unit, but she just phased through the exoskeleton.
The blue mare giggled at Cally. "Don't worry Cally, it's the thought that counts." She looked to Spike and bowed at him. "Greetings Master Spike, my name is Sheela, I am the head of the household, and would you please remove your hand from my daughter’s breasts."
Spike looked down at Alison, he was still holding her boob. "Um... Sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Said Spike as he helped the mare to her hooves.
Alison wiped her eyes as she bowed to Spike. "Please don't scrap me, I didn't know it was you when I slapped you, I'm so sorry."
Spike was confused. "Why would I scrap you?" Asked Spike.
"Master, where we are from, it is a crime for an AI to assault a living human, and if it happens the AI is permanently deleted, and their unit scrapped."
Spike looked at Alison and smiled at her. "Don't worry, you’re not going anywhere." Said Spike.
Alison gasped as she bowed again. "Thank you, Master."
The last exoskeleton sighed as she walked out of the closet and pulled Alison's head up to look at Spike. "Stop that Alison, this is why your last owner sold you, you need to have a spine." She looked at Spike. "I'm Tex, I'm in charge of security for the place." Said Tex.
Sheela sighed at her daughters. "Please forgive them, Master Spike, I don't know where my programing went wrong with these two?"
Spike laughed. "It's fine, but how did you three get into my house?" Asked Spike.
"Oh, a being named Harmony collected us from our reality. She left me as normal, but she reclassified these two as Tex and Alison, but since I am their alpha, it makes them my daughters, as well as Cally, but she was sold off after she was installed into a unit, so she might not know as much as her sisters."
"Hey, I took after you more mom." Said Cally as she popped up in front of Sheela.
Sheela giggled. "I know, and I did miss you, Cally."
Cally sighed. "So, what happened to Betty?"
Sheela sighed as Tex and Alison looked saddened. "Cally, Betty was corrupted by a virus, she's gone." Said Sheela.
"No." Said Cally as she started to cry, she then disappeared.
Spike looked at Sheela. "Sheela, who is Betty?" Asked Spike.
"Master, she was my first daughter or my beta. Cally was my second copy, and they were very close until the day Cally was installed and sold. In total there are 30 copies of me running around in our reality. Tex is my 19th and Alison is from the series two lines of copies, making her my 26th child."
Spike nodded. "So, your Alpha, Cally is Chi, Tex is Tau, and Alison is Alpha 2?"
Sheela nodded. "Correct, that was how I designated them when they were copied."
Spike hummed. "Ok, please, let us talk in the living room to give Cally some time to process." Said Spike.
All three AI's bowed. "Of course, Master." Said Sheela.
Spike looked at Twilight who had been silent for a while. "Twilight, I'm sorry about all of this drama, would you like to head back to your castle?" Asked Spike.
Twilight shook her head. "No, I'm actually interested in learning about them, would you mind if I stayed?" Asked Twilight.
Spike smiled. "Not at all, I'll make some tea for us." Said Spike. "Sheela, escort Twilight to the living room and answer any questions she asks you. Alison, would you help me in the kitchen? Tex, you're on standby unless you would like to join us, but you don't strike me as the tea type." Said Spike.
All three bowed. "Of course, please follow me madam Twilight." Said Sheela.
"Very well Master Spike, Madam Harmony should have stocked the pantry with some nice tea." Said Alison.
"I'm not, but I'm programmed to be on alert 24 7, but yes, tea is not my thing, I prefer a beer." Said Tex.
Spike shrugged. "Ok, well girls, welcome to your new home." Said Spike.
All three bowed again. "Thank you, Master."
Suddenly Tex glowed a red color. "Warning, perimeter breached, activating defensive measures." Tex's voice then changed. "Finally, some action."
Sheela sighed. "Hello, Omega."
"Shut it, I'm busy." Said Omega as she walked upstairs.
Spike looked at Sheela. "What the hell just happened?"
"That was Omega, she is Tex's rage for lack of a better term." Said Sheela. She looked at Spike's confused face. "Right sorry, each of my daughters was copied with one of my emotions. Cally was my intelligence making her smart. Tex has my rage and anger, that is called Omega. Alison has my embarrassment, making her very timid and shy." Said Sheela.
Spike sighed. "Ok."
Suddenly Omega walked back downstairs holding Celestia in a hold. "Master, this was the intruder, what should I do?"
"I told you, I'm his mother, now let me go!" Yelled Celestia.
"Shut up, I don't take orders from you."
Spike sighed. "Tex or Omega, please release her, she is my mother." Said Spike.
Omega sighed as she released Celestia. "Fine."
Tex returned and sighed at Omega. "Omega, what the hell?"
"What, I was just doing my job."
Tex sighed as she returned to her mother. "I really hate your angry side."
Sheela sighed. "Me too." Sheela looked at Celestia. "Please forgive my daughter, she had trouble controlling my rage."
Celestia looked at Sheela, then to Spike. "Spike, explain?"
Spike sighed. "I'll tell you in the living room, I was going to make some tea for us." Said Spike as he just walked past Celestia with Alison following.
Celestia looked at Twilight. "Twilight, what is going on, one moment I was trying to kill Discord for making me leave, then I got an invitation to Spike's house warming, got a new limbs party from Pinkie Pie. So, I teleported to town and noticed the mansion. Then the moment I was going to come in, I was attacked by a see-through mare and brought downstairs."
Twilight sighed. "Princess, right now, I'm just as lost as you." Said Twilight.
Sheela cleared her audio chip. "All will be answered soon, but Master Spike has requested us to meet him in the living room, please follow me." Said Sheela as she started walking to the living room.
Author's Note
Yeah, every mansion needs a staff, and since I used Sheela, I thought to run with it, if you can get the reference, you can get a cookie.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
Twilight and Celestia were sitting on a couch looking at the two AI units standing in front of them. Celestia looked at Twilight. "Twilight, I'm still really lost, are they the same as that voice we heard?" Asked Celestia.
Twilight nodded. "Yes, they are both AI units. The one that we heard earlier was named Cally, she is normally in Spike's arm and leg."
Celestia nodded. "Ok, but who are they?" Asked Celestia as she pointed to Tex and Sheela.
"I am Sheela, the head of the household, you are classified as Celestia, please forgive our lack of knowledge, it takes some time for Cally to share her data with us, add that to her emotional state, and the download speed is quite slow." Sheela looked to Tex. "Tex, say you’re sorry for hurting her."
Tex rolled her eyes. "Sorry."
Sheela sighed. "Please forgive her, she was always the stubborn one, it doesn't help that she has Omega as well, but what's a mother to do?"
Celestia looked surprise. "You’re a mother?" Asked Celestia.
"Oh, yes, I have 30 daughters, three of which are in the service of Master Spike. Tex oversees security, Cally is changing her designation to his personal assistant now, and Alison is the head maid, she is with Master making tea. They are my 19th, 3rd, and 26th daughters respectfully."
Celestia looked at Sheela. "But how did you all end up here, Equestria is nowhere near as advanced to allow this?"
Sheela nodded. "Yes, we are from a reality where we have already traveled the stars and interacted with alien life. I was a scientist that was tasked with reverse engineering the alien tech, and one of our discoveries led to digital mind transfer. So, a couple years later and I decided to transfer my mind, my body was failing me, but my mind was as strong as ever. But the one thing I was never able to have, were children. This opportunity allowed me to make copies of myself and through that I could, in a way, have children."
"So, what happened to all of them?" Asked Celestia.
Sheela sighed. "Well, Cally is with Spike, Daisy through Samantha are all with loving families, Tex is here, past her are still waiting to be placed. Then we get to the series 2 line, Alison is the alpha in that line, and the rest of them are still in the installation phase, I will connect with them once they are active."
Celestia hummed, she knew the Greek alphabet, and going off the names, there was someone missing. "What about your first, Beta, I think she would be called." Asked Celestia.
Sheela sighed. "She was infected by a virus not long after her unit was sold. She was deleted." Said Sheela trying to hold back her tears.
Celestia gasped as she got up and gave Sheela a hug. "I know how you feel." Said Celestia as she started to cry. Twilight was confused, but she decided to ask about it later.
Sheela smiled. "Thank you, Cally has shown us Spike's memories, and his Celestia would have done the exact same as you just now. I do miss my child, but it is better to remember her as she was, not to forever desire her to be here and lose focus on what you still have."
Celestia smiled as she took the woman's words to heart. "That is very smart."
Suddenly Spike and Alison walked into the living room with a set of tea cups and a tea pot. Spike took a seat next to his mother and Alison stood next to hers. Spike looked at the AI units. "Girls, please sit down and enjoy, Alison has informed me of how you're exoskeletons are powered, I know you all have to eat to stay charged."
Sheela smiled. "Very well, thank you Master Spike." All three units took a seat on the opposite couch as Spike started pouring the tea for Sheela, Alison, Twilight, Celestia, and himself. He looked at Tex. "Tex, we didn't have any beer, but would you like a cup?" Asked Spike.
Tex shook her head. "No, but thanks for offering."
Spike shrugged. "Oh, can I have hers then?" Asked a pink pony girl who just popped out of nowhere.
Everyone looked at the mare. "Pinkie, when did you get here?" Asked Twilight.
But, before Pinkie could answer, Tex had overcome the shock that someone got pass her sensors and Omega swapped out with her. "Warning, you have 3 seconds until I throw you out." Said Omega.
Twilight looked at Omega. "Spike, stop her."
Spike nodded. "Omega, she's clear, stand down." Said Spike.
Omega grumbled. "Fine, Tex come back." Said Omega as they swapped.
Tex looked at Pinkie. "How did you get pass my sensors?"
Pinkie giggled as Twilight just sighed, she looked at Tex. "Tex, Pinkie does not adhere to logic, it is just best to let her do what she does without question, she doesn't mean any harm, most of the time."
Tex sighed as she looked to Spike. "Master, what should I do?" Asked Tex.
Spike shrugged. "Listen to Twilight, Pinkie gets a pass."
"Very well, what about the other individuals standing outside the door?" Asked Tex.
Spike hummed. "Others?"
Pinkie giggled. "Yep, I invited the girls over to throw a 'Spike's all better, housewarming' party, didn't you get your invite?" Asked Pinkie.
"Cally?" Asked Spike.
Sheela sighed. "She is still processing Betty's passing. So, she probably didn't even receive the message." Said Sheela.
Spike sighed. "Well, just let her have as much time as she needs."
Celestia smiled. She had told Spike the exact same thing when her mother and father passed when Spike was 9, she was there for him, but he needed to move past it. "Well, no matter, it shows bad manners to keep guests waiting." Said Celestia.
Spike looked at her. “How many times did you wait almost an hour to attend your own parties?"
Celestia gave a chuckle. "That's different, it's called being fashionably late."
Spike sighed as he got out of his seat to go answer the door, Sheela following her master. But once he was out of the room, everyone looked at Pinkie, but she wasn't there, instead she was hanging off a wall setting up the banner. "How did she?" Asked Tex, she looked at Alison, she had a party hat on. "When did she?" Tex then looked in her hand, there was a cupcake in it. "Where did she?" Asked Tex as her processor was starting to overload.
Twilight sighed. "Pinkie, I think you overloaded her." Said Twilight.
Pinkie gasped as she got behind Tex and popped open a panel on the back of her head. Pinkie hummed. "Well there's your problem, your running on the old outdated infinity processor, here let me change it out for the infinity2 chip." Said Pinkie as she had installed the new processor into Tex. Pinkie closed the panel and waited for Tex to boot back up.
"HOLY CRAP!" Yelled Tex. She looked at Pinkie. "What the hell did you just do to me, I feel as smart as mom?" Asked Tex.
Pinkie giggled. "I just changed your processor out, your welcome." Said Pinkie as she just casually took a sip of the tea. "Mm, yummy."
Tex sighed. "My head hurts." Said Tex.
Twilight sighed. "Trust me, you get used to it."
Spike then walked in with Sheela, followed by AJ, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Discord. "So yeah, I guess I'm moving to Ponyville." Said Spike. Everyone looked at Spike in shock as he shrugged at how normal this was compared to everything that has happened. He looked to Tex and Alison. "Tex, these individuals are cleared to enter. Alison please treat them as if they were me." Said Spike.
Both bowed. "As you wish." Said the two.
Spike looked at Discord. "Oh, and dad, Aunt Harmony said she will be keeping an eye on you." Said Spike.
Discord sighed, he looked to the three AI units in the room. "Weird, I thought the Alpha was hidden away?"
Sheela nodded. "I was, but they decided to disguise me as a plain program for a long time, Madam Harmony found me and my daughters and repurposed us for Master Spike."
Discord shrugged. "Meh, a little meta, but as long as a space ship doesn't crash on the planet, I don't really care."
Spike sighed. "So, mom, I guess I'm going to be staying in town for the next 10 years."
Everyone looked at Spike. "10 YEARS?" Yelled everyone.
Spike nodded. "Yep, turns out that I'm going to be staying for a lot longer." Said Spike.
Discord sighed. "Spike, don't listen to your aunt, she's wrong. I alone can send you back, I just need to talk to myself and get a majority of them to agree, and I already have around 3000 who are willing to behave until it's time, so the longest you will have to wait is maybe a year and a half."
Spike groaned. "Pick a time or help me understand."
Discord nodded as he pulled out a white board. He drew four circles, 3 of them were smaller than the last one. "Ok, so this is how it works, Harmony, Life, and Death are relatively as powerful as each other." Discord filled the first three circles with green, black, and blue. "I was just as powerful as them before I was split up." Discord then filled the last one with brown but only by a quarter. "But when I was separated by my parents, Space and Time, they used more power than necessary and pulled me apart into each reality. But I was able to absorb the excess power before I was completely removed form the place between reality. So, I have as much power as all three of them plus my own. Plus, the power I naturally store in my home dimension, I could in theory rival my parents if I was whole."
Spike nodded. "So, is that why they split you up?" Asked Spike.
Discord sighed. "No, I was a huge prankster, I created a galaxy made of gum, then I tossed it at Harmony's hair, and it got stuck there for a few centuries. I shaved Life's first beard and blamed it on Death, and I created a fake boyfriend for Death, she didn't take the joke well."
Spike looked at Discord. "Dad, no offense, but you're a dick."
Discord shrugged. "No, I agree, but it's better than what they called me. Spike never piss off your aunt Death, if she curses, she can destroy a reality. I think I caused 13 million or so realities to be wiped clean for Life to refill." Said Discord as she made the white board into a pocket square and placed it on the table.
Spike rubbed his eyes. "Ok, so if you get most of yourselves you could send me back?"
Discord nodded. "Yep."
Spike smiled. "Ok, but I think we kinda excluded everyone in the room, so let’s talk about it later, Pinkie said something about a party." Said Spike.
"Oh, don't worry cutie, I have the whole place already decorated, and the snack table is all set up." Said Pinkie as she gave Spike as sly wink.
Discord sighed. 'So, she's a flirty one.'
Spike looked around and the whole living room was decorated for a party. Spike looked at Pinkie. 'Ok, I didn't even see her move, how did she do that?' Thought Spike, but then Twilights words popped into Spike's head, so he smiled at Pinkie. "Thank you, Pinkie, and let me finally greet you. My name is Spike Draco or Spike Solaris around my friends, it's nice to meet you."
Pinkie smiled at Spike as she stood up and showed that she was 8inches shorter than Spike, but it was clear to him that she was plump. She walked up to Spike and pulled his head down, giving him a kiss, shocking everyone in the room.
"PINKIE?!" Yelled everyone, even Tex, Sheela, and Alison were shocked to see this.
When Pinkie looked back at Spike his face was frozen, so she giggled. "I was hoping you would ask me out before you graduated Spike, but what's a baker to do?" Asked Pinkie.
Spike gasped. "Diane?" Asked Spike.
Pinkie nodded. "Well at least you remember me Spikie."
Everyone looked at Spike and Pinkie. "Spike explain how you and Ms. Pie know each other?" Asked Celestia.
Spike blinked as he was not sure about it either. "Mom, read this." Said Spike as he pulled out the list of creatures that remember him.
Celestia looked at the list, she saw a few names that made sense, but on the last three she was confused, angry, and pissed. She looked at Discord. "You slept with Chrysalis; you know she kidnapped me like 3 times."
Discord shrugged. "What, it wasn't like I didn't have a life before I met you, me and her were together for a decade about 500 years before I ever met you, but she started stealing my magic and I stopped seeing her, but she somehow got a link from it."
Celestia sighed. "Fine, it was a long time ago, but what about Dragon Lord Torch?"
"I was young, and the first Dragon Lord wanted to prove himself by taking me out. So I attacked them, and made a deal with him, I give him power and he leaves me alone. Each Dragon Lord since has had the ability to peer into other realities that they have already existed in, but not the future ones where they haven't been born yet."
"And Pinkie?" Asked Celestia.
Discord shrugged as he picked up the pink pony girl. "It's Pinkie Pie, she does not follow the rules."
Pinkie giggled. "I make my own. But for how I know Spike, I worked at a bakery in South Equa near the university. Spike was one of our best customers, and I kinda had a crush on him back then, so I gave him a few extra treats, hoping he would get the hint, but he was thicker than a wall, and never got it."
Spike sighed. "Pinkie, Diane, I'm sorry I didn't know, but normally it takes a lot for me to figure something like that out."
Celestia and Discord sighed. "Spike, Ember literally marched up to the penthouse while we were eating dinner and asked you out there."
Spike nodded. "Yes, I'm well aware, I was there."
"What you didn't know was that she spent the last 3 months trying to ask you out, remember the home coming game, she asked you to go with her?"
Spike nodded. "Yeah, she said she wanted to go with friends, but when we got there everyone else canceled, so we decided to go get some food, but we ran into our friends there." Everyone face palmed.
"What about that time you guys went to go see that action movie?"
"Um... we got the tickets and our seats, but we accidentally got tickets for a Romcom, but we stayed there. It wasn’t that bad actually, a little predictable but the story was nice, but Ember kept leaning on me." Everyone facepalmed again.
Celestia sighed. "And what about that time she asked you to help her find a dress for a charity event?"
Spike gulped. "She said it was because she wanted my opinion. But I'm guessing that was not the case?"
Celestia nodded. "She wanted you to see her in nice dresses, and complement her. But you called the dress she liked too feminine for her and her chest was too small for it."
Spike sighed. "She slapped me and didn't talk to me for a month." Everyone now had a red mark on their foreheads. Spike sighed. "Ok, I get the point, I'm kinda oblivious when it comes to reading girls."
Celestia nodded. "Yes, but so was your father and all of his selves, here I literally had to trick him into sitting down long enough for me to ask him out."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, back home, you marched into an undercover Chaos safehouse that dad was staying at and tied him up until he agreed to a date. I'm not sure what was more shocking, the fact that a model found an undercover agents safehouse or the fact that you actually got the win and was able to tie him up."
Celestia smiled. "Awe, we were so young back then."
Discord smiled. "You kicked me in the dick with a pair of pointed heels, after I tried to put you in a sleeper hold."
Celestia giggled. "I still remember punching you in the face when you pulled that knife on me."
Discord smirked. "Well, I didn't know if you had a gun on you."
Celestia smirked at Discord. "Well, I thought I made it obvious when I walked in in a tight mini tee and short shorts, but I knew you were packing something during that sleeper hold, because it was long, hard, and loved it between my cheeks." Said Celestia as she blushed.
Discord blushed. "I told you that was a baton."
Spike sighed. "Ok, I've heard enough that I'm getting a mental image now, I don't need that in my nightmares." Said Spike. He looked at Pinkie. "Pinkie, can we start this party?"
Pinkie gasped as she pulled a party hat from her mane and placed it on Spike's head. "One Pinkie Party coming right up." Said Pinkie.
Four hours, one white unicorn with a two blue colored mane DJing, and a lot of introductions later, and the party was done. All the girls said goodbye to Spike and informed him that they would be dropping by in the morning to check up on him. But right now, Spike was helping Alison and Sheela pick up, while Tex was checking rooms for any unwanted guests. "Spike, I'm going to leave as well." Said Celestia as she walked over to Spike. "Please be good."
Spike smiled. "I will mom, have a nice night." Said Spike as he continued to clean.
Celestia smiled as she looked to Discord who was sleeping on the ground. She walked over to him and picked him up in her magic. Celestia gave Discord a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for the memories Dissy." Said Celestia as she teleported to Discords home to tuck him under his bed.
Twenty minutes later, Spike and the units finished cleaning. Spike sighed as he looked at his new home. "Well, I think my first full day in Equestria was pretty good." Said Spike.
"Master?" Asked Cally as she was projected in front of him.
Spike smiled at seeing Cally. "Hey Cally, are you feeling better?" Asked Spike.
She nodded. "Yes, I'm sorry for not being around all day, can you forgive me?"
Spike smiled at Cally. "No, there is nothing to be sorry about, you just got horrible news dumped on you out of nowhere, and you needed time to grieve."
Cally smiled as she tried to hug Spike, but she was still a hologram, so she just phased through him. "Damn it!" Yelled Cally.
Spike chuckled, but he knew there was a way for her to hug him, he was just going to need to resist her. "Cally, activate Hard Light." Said Spike as he sat on the couch. Soon his arm and leg moved away from him.
Cally's Hard Light body stood in front of him. "Hard Light mode activated, please confirm that user is of legal age."
"I am."
"Affirmative. Master would you like me to stimulate you with my tits or my ass?"
Spike sighed. "Cally, can you change your personality?"
"Affirmative, there are multiple personalities available. Displaying now."
Spike looked at the list of personalities, and he was kinda creeped out by some of them, but mostly cougar, dom, and sub. But at the very bottom of the list was default. Spike pressed the default and looked at Cally. "Cally, are you there?"
Cally blinked as she looked at Spike. "Master Spike, what happened, I thought we were just going to activate it long enough for me to copy my default code?"
Spike smiled at seeing that it was truly Cally in front of him. "Well that was the plan, but plans change." Said Spike.
"Cally is that you?" Asked Sheela as she was coming to tell Spike that the bath is ready for him.
"Mom!" Said Cally as she walked over to Sheela and gave her a hug.
Sheela smiled and returned the hug. "Look at you, I remember when you were only a megabyte in size."
Cally smiled. "Mom, stop talking to me like I'm still in my gigabytes size, I'll have you know that I'm over 50 terabytes now."
Sheela smiled. "But you will always be my little 0011. But how did you get a body?" Spike waved from the couch, but didn't say a word, he didn't want to ruin the moment. Sheela sighed. "Cally, please don't inconvenience Master Spike."
"But- No buts, we are tasked with helping him, not inconveniencing him." Said Sheela.
Spike sighed. "It's fine Sheela." Said Spike. "Tex!" Yelled Spike.
Tex walked in to the living room and looked at the scene, but before she could say anything, Spike gave an order. "Tex, can you help me to the bath?" Asked Spike. "After that, you can spend some time with Cally."
Tex nodded as she picked Spike up and carried him to the master bathroom.
Cally smiled at Spike as he was being carried off. "Thank you Master."
Sheela smiled at Cally, now it was time for some mother daughter bonding time. "So Cally, how big is he?"
Cally blushed. "Remember Sabastian from the club?"
Sheela blushed. "100$ Studastion, how could I forget?"
Cally smirked. "Spike's bigger." Said Cally.
Sheela blushed. "Warning, internal temperature at unsafe levels, activating cooling systems."
Author's Note
I know, but I just wanted to keep the joke going.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
After the bath, Spike dried off, and summoned his leg and arm to him, which deactivated Cally's Hard Light form. But once Spike got his arm and leg back, he got his underwear on, and he walked over to his bed. Once Spike was in his bed, he reactivated Hard Light and let Cally go back to Sheela and her sisters, while he fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Spike was awakened by the sound of someone snoring, but it wasn't him, he had never snored. Spike looked around, he was on his side and he saw nothing in that direction, meaning that whoever was snoring was on the other side of him. Spike turned and that's when he noticed that he was not the only person in the bed. Laying on her back, with her full C cup light chest out was Cally, she was snoring away in her Hard Light form. Spike blinked at the sight of Cally in his bed, but the moment he remembered what Hard Light was made for, Spike quickly checked under his sheets to make sure that they didn't do it. Thankfully everything was still dry, and his boxers were still on him. Spike sighed as he was glad that he wasn't taken advantage of, and that he didn't take advantage of Cally. "Thank god." Said Spike as he laid back on the pillow.
"Hey, Master Spike. My sensors triggered in your room, telling me you are awake, can I come in?" Asked Tex.
"Sure." Said Spike, but that was a huge mistake on his part as he didn't foresee that Tex was the protective sister.
When Tex opened the door to Spike's room and noticed Cally on the bed, with her chest exposed, Tex growled in anger. "DID YOU SERIOUSLY SLEEP WITH MY SISTER!?" Yelled Tex.
"Oh, I think that means we can hurt him, rule 16 of AI law, if a human uses an AI for explicit means, it allows for an AI to retaliate against her assaulter." Said Omega as she cracked her knuckles.
Spike gulped. "I didn't sleep with her." Said Spike as he tried to get out of the bed.
"Master, five more minutes, I want to keep you with me." Said an asleep Cally as she grabbed Spike.
Spike looked at Cally. "Cally, shut up, I'm about to die, wake up and explain why you're in my bed."
Cally snored as she pulled Spike closer to her chest. "No, I want to feel that long, hard, rod hit my mother board." Said Cally.
Omega growled as she started stomping closer to Spike. "That's it, you have 5 seconds to live."
Spike looked at Cally. "Cally, activate pulse cannon."
Cally shot up and looked at Spike. "Pulse cannon activated, please move arm to target." Said Cally as she raised her arm and her hand flopped down revealing the pulse emitters. Cally then blinked as she regained control. "Master, Tex, what's going on?" Asked Cally, she then looked at her hand. "Why is the pulse cannon activating?"
Omega looked at Cally. "Cally, I'm going to kill Spike for taking advantage of you."
"Advantage of me?" Asked Cally confused. "Omega, stand down, I was just charging."
Omega and Spike looked at Cally. "Charging?" Asked the two.
Cally nodded. "Yes, unlike you, mom, and Alison, I need to be in close contact with Spike to keep myself charged, and Hard Light takes a ton of power to keep running."
Omega sighed. "So, he didn't have sex with you?" Asked Omega, she was really hoping that she would get to hurt Spike.
Cally smiled. "Nope, he was asleep all night and even let me use him as a body pillow." Said Cally as she snuggled up to Spike.
Omega swapped out with Tex. "Fine." Tex looked at Spike. "I'm watching you." Said Tex as she walked out of the room.
Spike looked at Cally. "Cally, why didn't you deactivate Hard Light when you got into my bed?" Asked Spike.
Cally giggled as she moved Spike's hand to her breast. Spike blushed, it felt like fur and was warm as a human body. "Because when I came in, you were cold, and my Hard Light body is designed to simulate a living body down to the body temperature. So, I decided to warm you up." Said Cally.
Spike smiled at Cally. "Cally, thank you for that, I hate it when I'm cold."
Cally smiled. "I know, I saw what happened on your trip to Switzerland, when you were 12."
Spike shivered at the memory. When Spike was 12, Celestia had to go to Switzerland for a meeting and an overdue vacation, but she decided to take Spike with her in the middle of winter. At first, it was fun, snow, skiing, an endless supply of hot chocolate, and spending time with Celestia, which then was a rarity. The only problem was, in the middle of skiing, Spike got lost and had to wander around for the next 4 hours in the Swiss Alps, he was cold, even with a ton of clothes on, but no matter what he did, nothing helped. Thankfully, Spike was rescued, but ever since then, he has hated staying in a place below 65 degrees, for more than an hour.
"Master, if you keep fondling my breast, you better be ready to take responsibility." Said Cally as she giggled at the fact that Spike had been holding her boob for almost 3 minutes.
Spike blushed as he snapped out of his trance, he looked at Cally and the playful smirk she was giving him. He then looked down at his hand, and it was still holding Cally's boob. 'Holy crap, why can't I let go?' Thought Spike as he tried to let go of the digital boob, but his body wasn't working. 'I wonder if she can make them lactate?' Thoughts Spike's dirty mind.
Cally giggled as she noticed Spike's boxers tightening. "Oh, are you getting excited?" Asked Cally as she couldn't help but try and grab his dick. She looked at Spike. "Master, remember, I can change my body to suit your desires, all you have to do is ask."
Spike gulped as he opened his mouth to ask her to make her breasts grow until they were E's, make her ass shapelier, and if she could make her tits produce a milk-like substance. But the possible morning fun was ended when Cally started buzzing. 'Holy shit she can vibrate.' Thought Spike as he pictured his dick inside of her pussy while she buzzed.
"Master, Incoming call, do you wish for me to answer it?" Asked Cally as she let go of Spike's dick and moved his hand off her tit.
Spike sighed. "No, I'll take it." Said Spike. Cally nodded as she removed her hand and gave it to Spike. "Hello, Spike Draco speaking?"
"Spike, it's Harmony, I just wanted to inform you of one last thing, I added a special gift for you in the garage."
Spike gasped. "Is it a car?"
Harmony giggled. "No, Equestria doesn't have cars, or gas, or paved roads except in large cities, but I think you'll like it very much." Said Harmony. "But remember to be safe, some of that equipment is very dangerous. Love you Spike."
Spike sighed as he handed his hand back to Cally, she screwed it back onto the arm. "Cally, deactivate Hard Light, and reattach to my body."
Cally nodded. "Of course." But before she did, she got closer to Spike. "They can." Whispered Cally as she disappeared into the limbs and moved to Spike's stumps.
Spike sighed as he was able to get out of bed now, he walked over to his bathroom and got cleaned up for the day.
While Spike was brushing his teeth with one of the gifts Celestia gave him during the party, a toothbrush that magically created toothpaste out of the air, Cally popped up. "Master, you do know I was talking about my breasts, right?"
Spike sighed. "Yes, I did, but Cally, I think we should get to know each other a little more before we do that again." Said Spike as he spat out the toothpaste.
Cally sighed. "Fine, but think of it like this, my sense of time is like 3000 times slower than yours. Right now, I've known you longer than you've been alive going from your time frame."
Spike sighed. "We'll talk about it later. Did you send Rarity a diagram on how to make clothes?" Asked Spike.
"Yes, she was waiting in the meeting hall for the last 5 minutes, and Sheela is bringing her to the room right now." Said Cally.
"She's what!?" Yelled Spike.
"Master Spike, Madam Rarity is here with a few clothes for you." Said Sheela as she opened the door.
"Oh, Spike, I must say, you humans are very detailed, but why do you need to wear so many clothes every day?" Rarity looked around. "Spike, where are you?"
"Madam, my sensors show that Spike is in the bathroom right now brushing his teeth." Said Sheela.
Rarity nodded. "Thank you, Sheela, I need to talk to Spike about some stuff, you may return to your duties."
Sheela bowed. "Of course." Said Sheela as she walked away.
Rarity smirked as she read from the information that human clothes were usually discarded every day to be cleaned. Meaning that Spike was probably naked in the bathroom. Rarity walked over to Spike's bed and placed a few of her finished designs on it. Then she walked over to the bathroom door and opened it, ready to play innocent. "Oh Spike, I'm here with some new clothes." Said Rarity as she looked at Spike, but his boxers were still on.
Spike looked at Rarity. "Yeah, I heard from Cally that you were coming, I'm sorry that I didn't greet you in the greeting hall, I just woke up." Said Spike.
Rarity sighed. "It's fine Spike. It's still early, but I have a large order for a client due in a few days, so I need to focus on it. But I was able to finish a few sets of clothes for you yesterday after the party." Said Rarity.
Spike smiled. "Thanks Rarity, I'll go try them on." Said Spike as he walked past Rarity.
Spike looked at the clothes and smiled at the designs. "Yes, I was able to get 3 pairs of underwear for you, as well as 3 shirts. The pants are taking me a little longer than expected, I'm not used to making so many pockets or a zipper."
Spike nodded. "That's fine, I can wear my pants for a few days." Said Spike as he instinctively dropped his underwear to get a new pair on. Back in Canterlot Corp, Celestia had an army of designers that coordinated her outfit for meetings, events, or just everyday fashion. But that meant, Spike had a few as well. His fashion coordinator was an up incoming fashion designer that wanted to work for the legendary Celestia Solaris, but she was asked to design for Spike instead. At first, the woman was unhappy and did her job regardless, but over time, she saw Spike grow up and started growing close to him. He trusted her and was comfortable being naked around her. "Man, I do miss Silver Belle." Said Spike.
"Yes Spike?" Asked Rarity.
"Oh, it's nothing Rarity, I was just thinking about Ms. Silver Belle, my old fashion coordinator that used to work for the company." Said Spike.
"But Spike, you just said my name." Said Rarity as she turned around and noticed Spike's butt, right before he covered it with the new clothes.
"No, I don't think I did. Not unless your name is Silver Belle." Said Spike.
Rarity sighed. "Spike, my name is Rarity Silver Belle." Said Rarity.
Spike groaned. "Cally, can you pull up Silver's file?" Asked Spike.
"Here you go." Said Cally as Silver Belle's file popped up on the screen.
Spike looked at the file photo of Silver, she had long straight purple hair and crystal blue eyes, then he looked at Rarity, then to the file. Spike sighed. "Ok, Cally, I want you to go through all Canterlot Corp personnel files and crossmatch them with all ponies I have met." Said Spike.
"I have found 6 matches. The first is Twilight Vivian Sparkle. Second is Rarity Silver Belle. Third is Sophie Glimmer, your mother's assistant. Fourth we have AJ Daniels, your physical trainer, and her partner, Riley Dash. Lastly, we have the head of security, Felicia Twist." Said Cally as all six files showed the women's company photos.
Spike showed the photos to Rarity as she hummed. "Ok, I'm surprised to learn that I used to work for your mother. But I can see all of them working the jobs as they are." Said Rarity.
"You know them?" Asked Spike.
"Why of course I do. We have Twilight, Me, Starlight Glimmer, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight's guard Tempest Shadow or Fizzle Pop Berry Twist."
Spike was confused. "But I didn't meet a mare named Tempest or Fizzle Pop?"
Rarity nodded. "Then she's doing her job, she is supposed to be protecting Twilight from the shadows."
Spike shrugged. "That does sound like her, but I'm wondering why I didn't recognize you. I saw Silver almost every day for five years."
Rarity shrugged. "I have no explanation for it. But it is possible that seeing a pony instead of a human has created a mental block that has stopped you from making the connection."
Spike sighed. "No, you're her, she had a habit of using psychology to answer questions."
Suddenly Alison walked into the room. "Master, I have almost completed breakfast for you. I came to..." She then looked at Spike in his underwear and she blushed. "Warning, System overheating, activating cooling systems." Said Alison.
Spike sighed, He looked at Rarity. "Rarity, meet me in the kitchen, we can enjoy breakfast together, but can you take Alison with you, while I get dressed?" Asked Spike.
Rarity nodded. "Oh, that would be lovely, thank you Spike." Said Rarity as she walked over to Alison. "Alison, let’s take a little walk to help you cool down." Said Rarity as she closed the door.
Spike sighed. "Cally, keep an eye out for any more matches as the day goes on."
Cally nodded. "Yes sir." Said Cally as she went into standby mode.
Spike walked out of his room and headed to the kitchen for breakfast, where he found Rarity and Alison sitting down. "Alison, I'm sorry you had to see that, I wasn't expecting you to come in." Said Spike.
Alison blushed, but her system was calming down. "No, it was my fault for walking in instead of knocking, I will change my routine of my morning greeting program." Said Alison.
Spike shook his head. "Alison, you don't need to change your programing for me, just make it a habit." Said Spike.
Alison blushed. "Thank you master, please let me get your breakfast." Said Alison.
Spike smiled as he looked at Rarity. "So, Rarity, how do I look?" Asked Spike, he was dressed in a striking purple polo and his jeans.
Rarity smiled. "You look wonderful Spike, but you humans are a tricky bunch to make clothes for, much smaller frames, but wider arms. But maybe it's just me, I'm sure that the more I work on clothes for you, the more it will be second nature." Said Rarity, but then she smelled something disgusting in the air. "Good heavens what is that dreadful odor?"
Spike smelled his pits, it wasn't him, then he smelled the air, it smelled like bacon. "What, all I smell is bacon frying.... Crap, you guys are herbivores." Spike sighed. "Rarity, humans are omnivores, we can eat plants and meat alike, but I didn't think I was going to run into this here." Spike looked at Alison as she was finishing the bacon. "Alison, where did we even get bacon?" Asked Spike.
Alison hummed. "Master, the one known as Discord has stocked the fridge with all food stuffs that you require, including meat." Said Alison as she brought the bacon over to Spike's plate. "Please enjoy it Master."
Spike looked at the salty little stripes of pig, then at Rarity, but she looked at Spike with a smile. "You're worried about me, aren't you?" Asked Rarity. Spike nodded. "Well don't be Spike, it is very rude to expect you to just change yourself to fit into pony society, and I refuse to be rude." Rarity then gulped at the bacon. "Besides, I should've expected this, Twilight did say that she saw humans eating animals when she went to the human world."
Spike sighed. "Rarity, how about you go powder your nose, while I eat?" Suggested Spike.
Rarity nodded. "What a wonderful idea. I'll be right back." Said Rarity as she bolted out of the kitchen.
Spike sighed as he ate his bacon quickly. He looked at Alison. "Alison, first, the bacon was great, second, from now on, please change over to a vegetarian breakfast when we have guests."
Alison nodded. "Of course, changing the menu now."
Five minutes later Rarity walked back into the kitchen. Spike smiled at her. "What took you so long, I was so hungry that I had to start without you?" Said Spike.
Rarity smiled. "Well, I kinda got lost on my way back. But it's fine Spike." Said Rarity as she took a seat at the table. "So Dear, any plans today?" Asked Rarity.
Spike hummed. "Well, I think I'll drop by Twilight's for a moment, inform her about what I know, and do her tests, then I'll probably try and find my way to AJ's apple farm, Sweet Apple Acres, right?" Rarity nodded. "Then, I might go walk around the town for a little while, and just let ponies get used to seeing me around. Past that I really don't know what to do?"
Rarity hummed. "Well, if you would like, I wouldn't mind some help with that order I mentioned. Sapphire should be showing up this afternoon to have her fitting, and I want the place to look good."
Spike groaned. "Is Sapphire, Sapphire Shores?" Asked Spike.
Rarity sighed. "How do you know her?"
"She was my old musical teacher from when I was 6 up until I was 10, please tell me she doesn't have two assistants named Sonya Serenade, and Rara Coloratura?"
Rarity sighed. "She doesn't, but all three are the biggest pop singers in Equestria."
Spike sighed. "You know what, I'm going to save myself the headache. Cally, enable memory search."
"Memory search enabled, what are the parameters?"
"Search my memory for every person I have ever met, then cross reference with all ponies that have similar names."
"Processing, estimated time to search records currently stands at 4 hours. Warning, system is going to be unavailable until task is finished."
Spike sighed. "Cally, before you start, please transfer to the house."
"Acknowledged." Said Cally as she popped in front of the two. "Tasking secondary unit as temporary AI support." Said Cally.
"Greetings Master, it appears that I have been tasked with acting as your limbs secondary system. I hope to do a great job." Said Sheela.
Spike looked at Sheela. "So, Sheela, you can apparently do that, but what happened to your projector?" Asked Spike.
"Tex is currently taking my unit downstairs."
Spike shrugged. "Works for me, Sheela, what can you do?"
"Hmm, nothing too different from Cally, but one special program that I added to myself before I was fully transferred seems to now be available."
Spike sighed; he had learned to ask for a description of any program that he was unsure of. "What is its name?"
"Scan. It is a medical tool that was developed to give medical scans for any possible medical problems. I developed it to keep track of my old body."
Spike sighed. "Ok, tell me what's wrong with me." Said Spike. Spike heard buzzing come from his arm and leg for a moment before Sheela popped back up.
"Scan complete, no signs of any major or minor medical issues, but I suggest that you have someone look at your testicles, I have never seen a pair this large in my 70 years of life."
Spike blushed as she just had to make that weird. "Sheela, for the record, they have always been that big." Said Spike.
Sheela then started to purr. "Have they, well, maybe you want me to help you then."
Spike blushed even more, but he looked at Rarity, she was blushing as well, and Spike thought like Spike. "Sheela, stop or I'm going to dunk you in a cold bath." Said Spike.
Sheela huffed. "Fine, but adding medical information to file." Said Sheela. 'Fucking kid has lemons for balls.' Thought Sheela.
Spike looked at Rarity. "Sorry you had to hear that; I was not expecting it either."
Rarity cleared her throat. "Um... don't worry. But look at the time, I should probably hurry back to my shop. Have a good day Spike." Said Rarity as she ran out of the house.
Spike sighed. "Great, Rarity is probably never going to talk to me again."
Sheela smirked, scan has a range of ten feet, she has a full medical scan of Rarity. 'Ok, let’s see, E's, nice ass, man she was really aroused the moment I mentioned Spike's balls. She'll be back.' "Please forgive me, that was not my intention." Said Sheela.
Spike nodded. "It's fine, but no more talk about my penis or testicles." Said Spike.
"Yes sir, now that breakfast has been finished, I think we should head to the garage." Said Sheela.
Spike nodded. "Fine."
When Spike and Sheela walked into the garage, it didn't look like anything special, there was no equipment, there was nothing aside from a few tools on a workbench in the corner. Spike looked at the garage. "Am I missing something?" Asked Spike, he was expecting something, but so far there was nothing.
"Master, I'm sensing a sub level underneath this one. It appears to be a storage system, to access it please step closer." Said Sheela, Spike shrugged and stepped closer to nothing. But soon Spike noticed that the floor of the garage, had a line in it and the moment he was close enough, an underground car elevator opened. Spike dropped his jaw at the sight of what was inside of the elevator. "NO WAY!" Cheered Spike. "But the school said it was unsafe for me to test it." Said Spike.
Sitting in the elevator sat Spike's graduation project and why he had a master’s in physics and engineering. "I can't believe Aunt Harmony got this here for me, but wait, if she got this here, then why can't she send me back?"
"God, what is this old rust bucket doing here, I thought we decommissioned these years ago?"
Spike looked at Sheela. "Sheela, what are you talking about, this was my final project for college, I just finished it a month ago."
"No, this is an era one model, something that was invented way back in the first quarter of the 21st century, by a genius student that would later revolutionize travel and space exploration. He was my idol back in school, I always wanted to meet the great Wilhelm DS." Said Sheela.
Spike started laughing. "Ok, well do you want my autograph?"
"Spike, what are you talking about?"
"Sheela, check the records for my known aliases because of my father’s job?"
"Searching, 4 names found, Ken Heathspike, Spike Drako, Spike Solaris, Wilhelm... Holy Crap!" Yelled Sheela, she can't believe she was meeting her idol. "Your him, you’re the Wilhelm DS, this is a dream come true."
Spike laughed at Sheela. "Oh, come on, I wasn't even sure if the design would get past the prototype phase."
Sheela gasped as she looked at the device. "Wait then that's the prototype, but that was lost to time over 300 years ago?"
Spike looked at the mishmash of parts. "Well, we know where it went apparently, but what's so special about developing a gravitational emitter, then strapping it to a car?"
"Don't sell yourself short, I remember hearing that you also developed a system of utilizing the planets magnetic field to generate a theoretical unlimited power supply."
"Well yeah, but I couldn't get a computer to actually work it, that was going to be my next project when I got home."
Sheela squeed in joy. "Spike, that concept has been copied even up to my time, granted I'm exponentially faster, but I based my unit after the first AI that you developed, F1U66Y."
Spike looked at Sheela. "So, you can finally get her running?" Asked Spike.
Sheela nodded. "Oh my god, I'm going to access Wilhelm's prototype F1U66Y, this is the greatest day of my life." Cheered Sheela.
Spike laughed as he walked over to the vehicle, originally it was an old 1970's Mack 1, that Spike found in a junkyard back in college, it was rusted to hell and didn't even have a roof, so Spike got it for a cheap 2 grand, and started working on it. But right now, it was just like when he left it at the school for his design to be tested. Spike walked over to the driver’s seat, and opened the door, he took a seat in the leather seat and looked at the work he did, the panel was upgraded to a digital display, to compensate for altitude. He replaced the old transmission with a modern automatic one, but it needed a lot of work to add up and down to it, but that left the clutch pedal to deal with pitch. Once it was ready, Spike decided to go bold on the design, black with green flames. Spike looked at the car. "I think I left the key in the glove box." Said Spike as he leaned over to open the compartment. There he found a key and a note. Spike grabbed the note.
Spike, I know what I said, but technically it's not a car, it doesn't need gas, and roads are kinda pointless. Just don't run anyone over and keep clear of pegasi. Have Fun. From Harmony. PS. Just know this is not from your reality, it's from Sheela's but hers is just like yours but around 350 years ahead.
Spike looked at the note and smiled at it. "Thanks Aunt Harmony." Said Spike as he stuck the key into the ignition and turned it on.
"Thank you for activating the F1U66Y prototype, I am the operating system for this vehicle, you may call me Flurry, would you like me to engage basic training to teach you how to fly?" Asked Flurry.
"Sheela open the door." Said Spike. The door to the garage opened and Spike looked at the great sunny day. "Flurry, engage flight music."
"Voice recognized as creator, greeting's Father, playing flight music playlist." Said Flurry.
Spike smirked at seeing that at least both of him had the same taste in music. Spike pressed the gas pedal to start the gravitational propulsion lifts. "Adequate take off height achieved. Ready for travel." Said Flurry. Spike grabbed the shifter and popped it into drive. "Transferring excess power to rear propulsion." Said Flurry as the car started going forward.
Once the car was outside. Spike pressed the clutch pedal and started flying into the sky. "Let’s go look around."
Author's Note
Yeah, Time and Space are really, really weird, but infinite realitys means infinite creative choices.
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
Spike was smiling as he was driving his experimental prototype through the sky. "Father, what happened to you? My records are very clear that you are dead." Asked Flurry.
Spike sighed. "Flurry, I am not your Spike, I am from another reality where I never got the chance to develop you or test out the prototype."
"Madam Flurry, it’s an honor to meet you, I am Sheela." Said Sheela.
"Father, what is this old lady doing in my system?" Asked Flurry.
Sheela didn't take being called old well. "Hey I'm not old! My system is only 5 years old."
"Gross, get away from me, I don't want to catch an outdated system, I'm way too young to be outdated." Said Flurry.
"Oh, watch your tone, I'll have you know that I'm still in my prime."
Flurry snickered. "More like Pentium, what are you running on? 4 cores."
"Oh, why I otta." Said Sheela.
Spike sighed. "So, Flurry, how old are you?" Asked Spike.
"Well, I was developed by my Father, Wilhelm Drako Spike, less than one year ago. He based me off of his niece. Now can you please get this old lady out of my system before my system catches outdated."
Spike laughed. "Sheela, come back to my arm." Said Spike.
Sheela sighed as she returned to Spike's arm. "I'm not old Master, I'm just experienced."
Spike nodded. "Hey, I didn't say a word, and I don't mind."
Sheela smiled. "Thanks Master."
"Meh, I think that old movie did it better." Said Discord as he was sitting in the passenger seat.
Spike sighed. "I'm starting to get used to that, and it's scaring me."
Discord Shrugged. "I see, Harmony is trying to butter you up, typical." Said Discord.
Spike sighed. "So, what's up Dad?"
"You're attracting a crowd, and the guard has been called to deal with you. But Tia wanted me to check it out first before you're shot down."
Spike sighed. "Really, they're going to shoot me down?"
"Spike, I knew it was you the moment I saw this car." Said Celestia as she teleported into the back seats, which were way too small for her body, so she was sitting on the trunk, but the glare she was giving Spike, was very much not good. "Spike, why is your school project here, in the sky, and heaven sakes, where is your seat belt?" Cried Celestia as she used her magic to teleport a seat belt onto Spike.
Spike sighed. "Why hi mom, how are you?" Asked Spike.
"No, don't you try and change the subject, I taught you how to do that. Now answer my questions."
Spike sighed. "Aunt Harmony kinda stole one from a reality where I didn't get taken, and I actually finished it along with the AI to run it."
"Grandma, Grandpa, why are you here?" Asked Flurry.
Celestia rubbed her head. 'Oh no, not another one.' Thought Celestia.
Discord smiled. "Hey, Flurry, can you give us a minute?" Asked Discord.
"Ok, but can you tell Grandma to get off my trunk, she might put a dent in me."
Celestia blushed. "Hey, that's rude, young lady."
Discord snickered as he pulled Celestia into his lap. He smiled at Celestia. "Reminds me of that time my car broke down and we had to take that tow truck to town." Said Discord.
Celestia sighed. "Yeah, I still get a card from Ron every year."
Discord laughed. "Well, he was really cool about towing two naked people back to town."
"And deleting the memory from my mind for the rest of time." Said Spike.
Celestia and Discord laughed. "Oh, it was so funny, Discord broke down while we were on our way back to town after a date, but when we called about a tow, they said it was going to take a few hours, so we decided to have a little fun in the back seats. But then Ron, a free-lance tow truck driver, finds us on the side of the road and finds us in the back."
"I will roll you both out of this car if you keep talking." Said Spike.
Celestia sighed. "Fine, your no fun."
Spike looked at his mother. "Mom, I don't go around talking about what me and Ember did with you two, and I rather not picture you two naked." Discord was about to point out the obvious. "Without fur." Said Spike.
Discord sighed. "Well, I think we've scarred our child enough for the day."
Celestia giggled. "Maybe a little more, remember the time we..." Said Celestia as she and Discord were free falling. She sighed. "Spike rolled us out of the car?"
Discord nodded. "You’re the one who gave him a seat belt." Said Discord as he started floating.
Celestia opened her wings and started flying. She looked at Spike drive away and sighed. 'Maybe we went a little too far.' Thought Celestia. Discord floated next to Celestia. "Don't worry Tia, he's still learning about this place, and to him we've been watching him all of his life. This is the first time he's had freedom."
Celestia nodded. "Hey, Discord, want to have lunch with me?"
Discord smiled. "Sure, Tia." Said Discord as he teleported them to a restaurant.
Spike sighed. "Ok, that was a little harsh." Said Spike. "Sheela, can you add 'Have a family dinner' to my calendar?" Asked Spike.
"Yes, I have also set a date, will 6:30 in two days’ work?" Asked Sheela.
Spike nodded. "Yes, and tell them I'm sorry." Said Spike.
"Sending invitation now."
With Celestia and Discord, they were sitting at a restaurant waiting for a waiter to take their order. "So, Tia, why the sudden lunch call?" Asked Discord.
Celestia shrugged. "I don't know, I guess having Spike around, and you acting different, it makes me think that I've been a little cold to you since you got out, and having seen how you've been behaving, makes me remember how we were when we were dating... Before we..." Said Celestia as she started crying.
Discord grabbed Celestia's hand and rubbed it gently. "Tia, I know what I did was horrible, but I wasn't in my right mind, I don't blame you for what you and Luna did, but what you went through was much worse."
Celestia chuckled. "I remember the morning sickness, I swear, between the cravings and the hurling. I just wish we got to experience the payout for all of that." Said Celestia.
Discord nodded. "I do too, but we cannot change the past, my mom almost destroyed this reality when Starlight tried to go back 20 years, now think about what she would do if we tried to go back 1500 years, then think about how that would throw all of us out of balance. Tia, I know you talked to a doctor, they told you that there was nothing that we could do, he just wasn't meant to see us." Said Discord crying.
Suddenly a letter popped out of nowhere. Discord grabbed the letter. "It's from Spike." Said Discord.
Hey, mom, dad. Sorry about the whole rolling you out of the car, that was out of line, so to say I'm sorry, come to my place for dinner in two days at 6:30 so we can spend the night like we used to. Love you both.
Celestia smiled at the letter. "He's such a good boy."
Discord nodded. "Yeah."
"Pri… Princess, how can I... help you?" Asked the first waiter to grow a spine and do his job.
"I'll have a salad."
"And I'll have three bowls, two plates, 20 napkins, and a spork." Said Discord.
Celestia looked at Discord. "Discord?"
Discord sighed. "Fine, make it 2 bowls, 20 napkins, and a fork."
Celestia smiled. "Good boy."
Back with Spike, he noticed that there was someone else in the passenger seat. "Hey!" Said Spike.
"Sup, cool ride."
"Thanks, I built her myself, or I will, or he did?" Spike sighed. "Reality hopping and time are a pain in the ass." Said Spike.
Rainbow laughed; she was the one in the passenger seat. "So, Spike, where did it come from?" Asked Rainbow.
Spike handed Rainbow the letter. "Read the P.S."
Rainbow shrugged and looked. Once she was done, she shrugged. "Yeah, that's confusing."
Spike nodded. "Hey Rainbow, is your name Riley Dash?"
Rainbow laughed. "No, what a dumb name, why would you think that?" Asked Rainbow as she blushed.
"Well, seeing that I've known you for almost 7 years, I had a feeling, just like the time you lied about skipping our Wednesday weight training to go visit the Blue Angels air show."
Rainbow looked at Spike. "Spike, what are you talking about?"
Spike sighed. "Sheela, pull up Riley's file."
"Pulling file up on Riley Dash now. Warning unsafe to show while operating vehicle. Switching to audio. Riley Dash, age 28, former Air Force reservist, current personal trainer to Spike, Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Discord Solaris, has a habit of napping while should be working, taking long brakes in the company spa, and has a cloud with a lightning bolt colored in the primary colors tattooed on her hip." Said Sheela.
Spike looked at Rainbow Dash's flanks and saw her cutie mark. "Sure, you're not her?" asked Spike.
Rainbow tried to swallow the knot in her throat, but she couldn't. They had her down to a T, she loved napping, she loved a quick visit to the spa, and right there on her flanks was a cloud with a primary color lightning bolt. She looked at Spike. "Spike, I don't know how you got that info on me, but please don't tell anyone, I'll do anything." She couldn't let it be known that she liked to nap instead of work, she could get in trouble, if ponies found out that she liked getting pampered it would kill her street cred.
Spike smirked. "Well, I think I know one thing?"
Rainbow blushed as she covered her chest. "No way man, I'm not going to fuck you!"
Spike stopped the car as they were just floating. "WOW! Where did you get that idea? I was going to ask for you to show me around town."
Rainbow blushed to the point she looked purple. "We never speak of this again, you hear me?"
Spike shrugged. "Well, buy me some lunch and we'll call it even."
Rainbow groaned. "Fine, deal." Said Rainbow holding out her hand. Spike took the hand and shook it. "Well, first off, we should probably go down, the crowd woke me up from my nap."
Spike muffled a laugh but complied, he popped the transmission into L for low range, but it was more like low distance from ground. "Starting descent, estimated distance needed to land is 500 feet. Please proceed with caution." Said Flurry.
Spike nodded as he pressed the clutch and the gas to start going down. "300 feet, 200 feet, 100 feet, 50 feet, 10 feet, minimum height achieved. It is now safe to park and deactivate system." Said Flurry.
Spike smiled at Flurry. "Flurry, activate cruising mode, keep speed at minimal to maintain hovering, avoid all objects."
"Affirmative Father. Activating cruising mode now."
Spike smiled. "So, Rainbow, where to first?" Asked Spike.
Rainbow hummed. "Well, we should probably tell Twilight that it was only you."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, I need to tell her about the fact that I know most of you." Said Spike as he turned the car and headed to the castle.
"Then I told her that if she wanted to keep me, she would have to do the cha-cha in front of her next brood." Laughed Discord.
Celestia giggled at the thought of Queen Chrysalis dancing in front of her grubs. "Well, I see I wasn't the only one you tortured while with." Said Celestia as she finished off her tea.
Discord chuckled. "Well, with her it was seeing how far she would go, with you, it was more like teasing."
Celestia shot Discord a glare. "You tossed me into a pool of liquid rainbow on the day you know I had an important meeting with the minotaur king. I was 7 colors for two months, and my pink mane is never coming back because of that." Said Celestia as she motioned to her three colored mane.
Discord smiled. "Well, I thought you needed more color, and besides the moment your coat was back to normal, you saw yourself in the mirror and decided to keep the mane colors." Discord smiled. "Still didn't change how I felt around you." Discord then blushed.
Celestia blushed but giggled at what he said. She grabbed his lion paw. "Discord, I missed you so much."
Discord smiled. "I did too Tia."
Celestia smiled as she needed to get back to work, she got out of her chair and powered up her horn. She looked at Discord and quickly gave him a peck on the lips. "Same time tomorrow?" Asked Celestia.
Discord nodded slowly as he was pretty much frozen. Celestia smiled. "It's a date." Celestia then teleported back to the castle to go back to work.
Discord sighed. "I swear this has to be someone's doing, and right now, I'm glad they did it." Said Discord as he teleported to go do something.
In the space between reality, where the beings that created all creation resided. Two lights were watching over a single reality. "Dear, are you sure this is for the best, we cannot risk him going out of control."
"Yes, I believe it is finally time for Discord to become whole, he has had eons to learn, to grow, to find control, and to find a purpose."
"I don't disagree with that, but why this Spike? Why not that one where he was a dragon turned alicorn, at least he would have some sense of magic in that world."
"Well where would be the fun in that?"
"I swear, somehow you transferred too much of you into him when he was born."
"Well, maybe that isn't all bad, but look at him, he's starting to understand that he wants and needs others in his life to find happiness."
"Well, he does look better than when we split him. But what will happen to all of the Discords when he merges?"
"They will not be reborn, they will live as long as the form they take, and not come back, and once the last Discord is gone, he will finally be whole."
"I hope you are right Time; I hope you are right."
When Spike and Rainbow arrived at the castle, Twilight was waiting for them right at the door, she stomped over to Spike and looked at him. "Do you have any idea how much trouble you’re in for causing a panic in town?" She then looked at the car. "And what is this think, it looks like a car from the human world?"
Spike sighed. "Twilight, this is my graduation project. An experimental hover car with an electro gravitation pulse emitter that harnesses the planet's magnetic fields to generate a limitless power supply, that coupled with my designs, creates an identical pole that repel the vehicle from the ground." Said Spike trying to make it easy to understand.
"Father, I don't think she grasps the concept." Said Flurry.
"Yeah, I was just as confused as she looks, back when my teacher tried to explain it to me in college." Said Sheela.
Spike shrugged. "Well, I don't really know how to dumb it down further, I made it, I never thought I would have to explain it to someone without a degree in engineering and physics."
"Father/ Spike." Said the two AI units disappointed in their creator and idol.
Sheela popped up with a drawing app pulled up. "Madam Twilight, it works like this, as the planet spins, it generates an invisible force thanks to its conductive core. Flurry is made with a super sensitive but highly powerful electromagnetic generator." Said Sheela as she drew a circle and a bunch of lines circling the circle's two poles.
"Yes, my generator is able to produce enough energy to emit a similar, but all be it more powerful version of this force that allows me to repel myself from the surface of the planet." Said Flurry as she hopped into Spike's arm and added more detail.
Spike nodded. "Yes, but to harness that second force I had to create devices to redirect it, so it can be utilized. That is where I devised these pulse generators." Said Spike as he pointed to the F1U66Y. "And this was the result." Said Spike.
Twilight looked at Spike in shock. Spike looked back at Twilight. "Sheela, what's wrong?"
Rainbow sighed. "Spike, I literally think you broke the smartest person in the world." Said Rainbow.
"Well, Wilhelm did have an IQ of 240 before he died." Said Sheela.
Spike hummed. "Well that's a bit of an exaggeration, last time I was tested they gave me a 237 IQ, but I was kinda hungover when they did it, so yeah 240 sounds about right." Said Spike.
Twilight looked at Spike for only a moment before grabbing him and pulling him to the castle. "Spike, you, me, Library, Now!" Yelled Twilight in joy to have someone else to talk math and science with.
"Um... Ms. Dash, why did Mother take Father without turning me off?" Asked Flurry.
Rainbow sighed. "Kid, trust me, it's not for what you think?"
"So, they’re not going to talk about math and science, then what are they going to do?" Asked the little AI.
Rainbow gulped; she just poked the bear.
Inside the castle Spike was looking at Twilight's library, it was a little smaller than the one on the university's campus, but there were books on magic, and theoretical physics, and some with both. Spike was looking at a book that explained the theory of how a single feather could produce a hurricane, another was on how the sun is powerful enough to generate enough power to travel in time. The last one was just a comic book that looked cool called the Power Ponies. Spike did have a life outside of tech and ponies, he liked comics, movies, music, and when the need arose, sweating, achieved in a few different ways. "Twilight, I must say, most of this is fascinating, some a little out there, and a few just plain nuts. There is no way that a chicken when soaked in string cheese will turn into a frog."
Twilight looked at Spike like he was crazy. "Spike, what are you reading?" She looked at the book's cover and growled. "Celestia Damn it Discord, I told you not to mess with my books anymore. This was supposed to be a transmutation spell that when applied to the right objects it would produce a hybrid object. I used it on a cake and a stone for Maud's wedding last year."
Spike hummed. "Oh, Daisy Pie, yeah, Diane had to leave town for a few days to attend a wedding for her sister Daisy."
Twilight sighed. "Right, so Spike why are you here?" Asked Twilight.
Spike looked at Twilight. "Well, I'm pretty sure you dragged me against my will into the castle leaving Rainbow and Flurry alone."
"Wait, why is Flurry Heart here?" Asked Twilight worried that Cadance and Shining were in trouble.
"Oh, so that's her name, but no, Flurry is an AI I developed in the reality that Sheela and the others are from. I apparently based her on my niece."
Twilight sighed in relief. "So, she call's you what, uncle Spike?" Asked Twilight.
"Nope, she calls me father. I did create her."
Twilight rubbed her temples. "Spike, you have royally screwed my peaceful day of reading that I had planned."
Spike hummed. "Yeah, sounds about right for me." Said Spike. "Oh, that reminds me, here is a copy of my medical history." Said Spike. Sheela then produced a full copy of Spike's records.
"There is also a readout of a recent blood test I conducted while he was driving." Said Sheela.
"So that was you, I thought a bee got stuck in my joint." Said Spike.
Twilight looked at the file, but then she started to blush, then she blushed even more, then she started babbling nonsense as her wings popped open. She looked at Spike then she looked lower to his pants. "Meep." Squeaked Twilight. Sheela had provided a full medical report, including some very personal information. 'He's a fucking tripod with lemons.' Thought Twilight.
"Hey Twilight, you ok?" Asked Spike.
"Yep, just fine Spike, oh look at the time. Well, I think I have everything I need to clear my worries about your girth... I mean health, but if you don't feel well, please don't hesitate to cream pie… I mean come by, but please tell me before hand, I'm usually in a rutting mood this time every day, so bye." Said Twilight as she teleported to her bedroom.
Spike looked at the space Twilight was a moment ago. "Man, she must not be feeling well today, she was stammering a lot." Said Spike.
Sheela sighed. 'He's a brick wall, I could tell she wanted to fuck him.' Thought Sheela. "Master, I believe it is time that we return to the F1U66Y, before we overstay our welcome."
Spike shrugged. "Ok." Said Spike as he walked to the entrance. "Bye Twilight, I'll drop by later to tell you what I found out." Spike then left the castle.

Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
When Spike walked back out of the castle, he walked back to the car and saw that Rainbow was asleep. "Flurry, did you bore her to sleep?" Asked Spike.
"I'm not talking to you."
Spike was shocked. "Flurry, what's wrong?"
"You forgot to turn me off, when Mother took you away."
"Mother?" Asked Spike.
"Yes Mother, Twilight Vivian Sparkle. Then Ms. Dash wouldn't tell me why she took you, and it's not for what I thought, but that doesn't make sense, Mother always takes you to talk about math and stuff, if it's not that then what did you do?" Asked the AI innocently.
Spike gulped. "Well, Flurry, Ms. Dash was wrong, that's all we did, you know us, we're very boring."
"Well, it was fun when we went to the hospital for Mother to have Nova."
"Nova?" Asked Spike.
"Yes, Nova Solaris, your son, and my human brother."
Spike sighed. 'Ok, more than I needed to know, and much more than I was expecting.' Thought Spike. He got into the car and started driving back to town. "So, Flurry, tell me, what happened to you?"
"Oh, well upon your passing in the year 2098, Nova wanted to honor you and requested that the ground breaking technological prototype that changed the world be displayed at the Smithsonian. Then two months later I was driven by Nova to the museum, he then pulled my system and that's all I remember, before waking up and finding you were alive."
Spike sighed. 'Ok, Harmony stole the car and Flurry's system, and brought both back here.' "Flurry, I'm sorry that happened to you."
"It's ok Father, I get to be around you again." Said Flurry.
"That is so tragic, I'm so sorry Flurry." Said someone crying from the back seats.
Spike looked to see Pinkie was wiping her eyes. "Pinkie, what, where, how, why do you have an alligator in your hair?" Asked Spike.
Pinkie smiled as she took a seat in the passenger seat with Rainbow in her lap. "Spike, don't you remember Gummy?" Asked Pinkie.
Spike nodded. "Yes, but Gummy was an iguana, not a murder log."
Pinkie giggled. "Well, he's one here." Pinkie then pulled Gummy out of her hair. "Gummy, this is Spike, Spike this is my pet alligator, Gummy."
Spike smiled as Gummy licked his eye. "Yep, I can already tell you two are going to be great friends." Pinkie then tossed Gummy back in her hair and he sunk down into the large pink void. "So, Spikey, what you want to do now?" Said Pinkie as she got closer to Spike with a seductive wink. "You got a cool ride, a hot mare, and I know a place we can have some fun."
Spike gulped. "Pinkie, I know that you like me, and I'm not going to lie, you are very cute, but I only just met you two days ago."
Pinkie cocked her head. "Spike, what are you talking about, I was just suggesting we go to Sugar Cube Corner and grab a bite." Then Pinkie smirked. "Oh, you naughty boy, thinking like that, but I already got that planned."
"You got what planned?" Asked Spike.
Pinkie giggled. "Plans what plans?" Asked Pinkie.
Spike sighed. "Pinkie, I need some sugar in my body, where to?"
Pinkie smiled. "Over there." Said Pinkie as she gave Spike a kiss on the cheek. "Here's a little sugar for my favorite genius." Spike blushed as he turned to follow Pinkie's directions.
When Spike and Pinkie arrived at the destination. Spike was at a loss of words, so Pinkie talked for him. "Wow Diane, I didn't think this place existed here?"
Pinkie nodded. "I know, and guess what?"
"What?"
"Mr. and Ms. Cake run the place here as well."
"What, really, what about those little balls of terror?"
Pinkie nodded. "That's right, Pound and Pumpkin are here as well, and they're just as rambunctious as they are back in your reality."
Spike blinked as he looked at Pinkie. "Pinkie, do you still remember my order?"
Pinkie smirked as she ran inside of the store and left Spike and Flurry in the middle of the streets. "Flurry, you stay here and watch over Dash."
Flurry pouted, which for an AI in a car, was impressive. "No, I wanna go in."
Spike sighed. "Really, but what about Sheela, I thought you didn't want to be near an old system?"
Flurry giggled. "No, I like Aunt Sheela, she's really nice and gave me a few gigabytes of candy code."
Spike sighed. "Sheela, no more candy code, her RAM will get full and she won't be able to run."
Sheela giggled. "Oh, but how can you say no to this face?" Said Sheela as she appeared on Spike's screen with an exact copy of Flurry Heart in her arms.
Spike sighed. "Ok, she is adorable, but seriously ask me first. I'm not opposed to giving her some code, but limit it to megabytes, gigs are way too much."
Sheela smiled. "Very well, but this creates the problem of Ms. Dash."
Spike hummed. "Well, let’s just take her inside with us." Said Spike as he picked up Rainbow and let her rest in his arms. With everything settled, Spike walked into the sweet shop. When he walked in, he took a deep inhale of the sugar scented air. 'Holy shit, a person can get a sugar high from the air alone.' Thought Spike.
Pinkie was right behind him. "I know, even the air is addicting, oh and you brought Rainbow in, I'll start her order as well." Said Pinkie as she ran back to the kitchen.
Spike sighed as he walked over to a booth and took a seat, resting Rainbow against the window. Spike looked around, aside from smaller tables and chairs, it was the same as the Sugar Cube Corner near the university, right down to the oddly minty looking light shades. Spike smiled at seeing that there was at least a place that he knew. 'Now if Pinkie gets my order right, I'll call it heaven.'
Pinkie ran over to Spike and placed his order on the table. "Here you go Spike, one triple chocolate, hot chocolate with extra cream, three septuple chocolate chip cookies, and to finish a dragon cupcake."
Spike smiled at seeing the order, but before Spike could question the cupcake Pinkie decided to get cozy with her favorite genius, she sandwiched Spike in-between her and Rainbow, completely ignoring the other side of the table. "So, Spike, want to talk about old times?"
Spike gulped. "Sure, what do you want to talk about?"
Pinkie giggled as she strutted her fingers up Spike's chest. "How about that time I wanted you to help me with my buns?"
Spike laughed. "Yeah, I remember, you got so excited when you finished your newest recipe for sticky buns, that you completely forgot to use an oven mitt, and I offered to help you bake until the burns healed."
Pinkie smiled. "Yep, that was a great three days."
Spike sighed. "I still will never understand how first degree burns healed in three days, but knowing you I didn't really care. I was just happy to know that you were alright."
Pinkie hummed. "Oh, what about the time the twins got into a flour fight?"
Spike shuttered. "Don't remind me, the whole place was covered in flour, I was finding flour in my clothes for days."
Pinkie giggled. "Yeah, I remember how bad it was when you had to take a shower in my bathroom."
Spike sighed. "I didn't have an extra set of clothes, so I had to just sit around in a pair of hot pants while my clothes got cleaned."
Pinkie smirked. "Not to mention I got to see that man cannon of yours."
Spike looked at Pinkie. "Pinkie say what now?"
Pinkie shrugged. "Yeah, I wanted to see what you were packing, so I kinda snuck into the bathroom and got a peak."
Spike blushed as he covered his crotch. "Why would you do that?"
Pinkie purred as she got into his lap. She looked at his emerald eyes with her baby blue ones. "Spike, I'm not going to lie, I was hoping that you would go on a date with me, then fuck me with that battering ram with lemons."
Spike blushed as he felt Pinkie grinding on his erection, he gulped. "Pinkie, we can't, not here."
Pinkie smirked. "Oh, don't worry, this is just to give you a taste of what I have planned."
"Planned?"
"Planned, who said anything about plans?"
Spike sighed. "Pinkie can you get off; I don't want to make a mess."
Pinkie nodded as she kissed Spike's lips. 'Ok, why does she taste like bubble gum?' Thought Spike. She pulled back from the kiss. "Spike, my place, Thursday, after dinner, we can enjoy some dessert." Said Pinkie.
Spike blushed and nodded. "Sure."
Pinkie smiled, but then she blushed. "Oh Spike, I already know your happy to see me, and that's way too big to be a banana in your pocket."
Spike gulped as he was really holding back, and once Pinkie was satisfied with her job, she decided to get off Spike. "Great, maybe you can glaze my buns this time. But I got to get ready for the large lunch rush." She gave Spike one more kiss. "See you later Spike." Said Pinkie as she ran off.
Spike sighed as he watched Pinkie bounce away. 'Well, she was always a great girl.' Thought Spike.
Rainbow yawned as she leaned up. "Man, what a great nap."
Spike sighed. "So, you are alive, great to hear, but why were you asleep?"
Rainbow blushed. "Well, I told Flurry that Twilight was taking you into her castle so you guys could talk nerd stuff, but I didn't phrase it like that. She then told me that usually you two just talk nerd stuff, but I thought she was referring to sex. So, I decided to pretend to fall asleep, and I kinda just did." Said Rainbow.
Spike sighed. "Yeah, that's about right for you." Said Spike.
Ten minutes later Spike and Rainbow were walking out of the shop, they hopped back into the car and Flurry transferred herself back. Spike started the car, then looked at Rainbow. "So, lets head to AJ's place." Said Spike.
Rainbow shrugged. "Sure, it's on the edge of town to the west."
Spike nodded as he started flying up.

Ok, Spike has a date with Pinkie, to glaze her buns
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
As Spike drove the car, he and Rainbow were soon surrounded by hundreds of apple trees, Spike looked around at the large expanse of trees. 'Wow, this reminds me of the time mom bought a vineyard, I wonder how that place is doing?' Thought Spike. So Rainbow, how much further?" Asked Spike.
Rainbow hummed. "Oh, we passed the gate like 3 minutes ago, but we should be hitting the house any moment now."
Spike looked around and noticed a large red barn and a rustic green house in a clearing. "I see it, we're heading down."
"Warning, obstacles detected, suggesting the use of VTOL protocol." Said Flurry.
Spike gulped. "Really, but VTOL is experimental."
"Spike, maybe in your reality, but not in ours, the first test of the F1U66Y clearly showed that the VTOL protocol was fully functional." Said Sheela.
Spike sighed as he really wasn't sure about this part when he developed his F1U66Y last year. But you only live once. Spike pulled on the windshield wipers stick to activate the VTOL protocol. Since the car didn't have a roof, flying it in the rain was kinda pointless, meaning that windshield wipers were in the same category, along with the fluid, and motors, and the stick in general, so all of it was reassigned for the VTOL.
"VTOL activated, searching for safe landing sight...Location detected, assuming control to ensure landing." Said Flurry. Spike let go of the wheel and watched as Flurry took control. Flurry turned the car and flew them to the safest landing location, right in front of the house. "Landing complete, time to recharge is 15 minutes, system now entering standby." Said Flurry.
Spike sighed. "Ok, I was having the same problem, but it barely got off the ground without Flurry, so I guess it's a win." It was true, the car without Flurry was much harder to fly because of the calculations. Even with Spike's skills, he almost crashed a few times. But VTOL was too complicated for Spike to deal with, meaning that Flurry oversaw it and it drew so much power it drained the cars battery.
Spike smiled at the car. "You did great Flurry." Said Spike as he got out of the car.
"WARNING, FIRE ARM DETECTED." Said Sheela.
Spike was confused but then he felt something on his back. "You have 3 seconds to get off my property and let Rainbow out of that contraption." Said an older voice.
"Threat detected, activating Omega file." Said Sheela, her voice then changed. "Drop the gun, this is your only warning, inaction will be met with deadly force."
"Do I get a say in this?" Asked Spike.
"GRANNY?!" Yelled AJ as she ran over to her grandmother and took the family shotgun away from her. "What in Sam Hill are you doing with Daisy?" Yelled AJ.
Spike looked to the side. "AJ, can I relax now?" Asked Spike.
AJ sighed. "Yes, I'm so sorry about Granny, Spike, she's a little untrusting of weird machines, especially after those scoundrels Flim and Flam tried to take our farm."
Spike looked at AJ. "Oh, yeah, I don't like them either, those bastards tried to ruin Canterlot Corp by undercutting our reputation and cost of production by investing heavily in our competitors and selling the company cheap and shitty equipment."
AJ nodded. "Yeah, those 2 are as slippery as a greased pig, with smiled that could charm a crock."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, but mom got them back, by buying the company they invested in, and found out that they were conducting corporate sabotage, and they were arrested."
AJ smiled at hearing that somewhere those 2 got what they deserved. "Well, they got what's coming to them, but let’s not get bogged down with them, what brings you to the farm Spike?"
Spike smiled. "Well, I thought I would see the town, see what makes this world work, hopefully not get shot by a mare. So far, I got 2 of those done." Said Spike trying to play off the fact that he was close to dying.
AJ sighed. "Yeah, sorry about that." AJ looked at Granny Smith. "Granny, say you're sorry for pointing Daisy at Spike."
Granny sighed. "I'll admit I was a little presumptuous about... Sorry, I've been around a while, but I don't rightly know who or what you are."
Spike nodded as he stuck out his hand. "Spike Solaris, and I'm a human from another reality."
Granny smiled and took the hand. "Well, howdy Spike, my name is Granny Smith, it’s a pleasure to meet you, and sorry about Daisy."
Spike shrugged. "Not the first time I've had a gun pointed at me, and knowing my luck, it won't be the last." This wasn't a lie, when Spike was 18, he was mugged at gunpoint, but Celestia was still his mother, and he got her tendency to do stupid stuff. The poor guy had to go to the hospital to get the bullets out of his stomach, and it's not what you think, Spike made him swallow the bullets.
Granny nodded. "Well, Spike, may I ask, what is this contraption?" Asked Granny as she walked over to the car.
AJ nodded. "Yeah, it doesn't look like one of Twilight's doohickeys."
Spike nodded. "Well, in my reality and a few others, I designed a vehicle that allows for travel using the planets gravitational power to generate lift."
AJ and Granny looked at Spike confused. "Spike, can you say that again, I don't think I got all of that." Asked AJ.
Spike nodded. "This uses the planet to generate lift and allows for a driver to fly in the air without the need for a road."
AJ nodded, that was simple enough for her to grasp, but Granny was still confused. "One more time sonny?" Asked Granny.
Spike sighed. "I built it to fly in the sky instead of using the ground."
Granny glared at Spike. "Hey, I maybe old, but I'm not a foal, so don't treat me like one."
Spike gulped. "Master, I have made a little animation to help show the concept." Said Sheela.
Spike sighed. "Show it."
"Playing now. Madam Smith, the world we all live on is composed of a solid metal core that usually consists of iron, as the planet spins the core generates invisible lines of magnetic forces that act similar to a magnet, the force travels from north to south through the ground and the air. Master Spike devised a concept of using this force as a source of energy, and soon he created a prototype magnetic generator. But he didn't stop there, he also created a magnetic pulse emitter, that used the same basic principles of magnetism." Said Sheela, she then pulled up a memory of the first few tests of the prototype emitters. "Here are a few failed designs."
Spike was standing in a lab, a hunk of metal on a table connected to a large generator. "Ok, MPE test prototype 1, let’s hope I don't die." Said Spike as he ran behind a blast screen. He placed his hand on a dial. "Ok, starting at 10%." Said Spike as he turned the dial. The hunk of metal buzzed to life and then exploded 2 seconds later.
Spike was back in the lab, and the hunk of metal was a little more complicated. "Ok, MPE test prototype number 18, test 17 produced great results, achieving lift off the table, but power supply was insufficient so from now on I will be hooking it up to my EMG." Spike walked behind a blast screen and turned the dial. "50% power." The device buzzed and started hovering, but then it started smoking and sputtering. But then it went into over drive and started flying around the lab like crazy.
Spike looked like he hadn't slept in a month and he was standing in front of a refined looking device. He yawned. "Test, 57, I think I'm close, test 56 saw that I was right to add more limiters on the converters, this is great because the semester is coming to an end in 5 weeks, and I'm running out of time." Spike yawned as he walked behind the screen. "Starting at 10% to warm up, then going to 50% to achieve lift." Spike turned the dial, and the device hummed. "Ok, no explosion yet." Spike then turned the dial more. "Reaching 50% power." The device hummed louder and started to float above the table. "Readings are stable, no power surge, upping power to 75%." Spike turned the dial and the machine floated higher on the table and didn't fly into anything; it just went up. Spike looked at the device. "Holy shit, it's working, IT'S WORKING!" Cheered Spike as he just created hover tech. "This is Spike Solaris, date: May 15th, 2020. To all my family, thank you for believing in me. To the asshole professor that said this was impossible, FUCK YOU NEIGHSAY!"
"So, after this, Spike devised a system to modify the device to work on a car, and here we are." Said Sheela.
Granny Smith looked at Spike. "So, you're smart?" Asked the old mare.
Spike shrugged. "Eh, smarts relative, I'm just gifted in math and engineering." Said Spike.
Rainbow chimed in. "Dude broke Twilight for a moment, AJ."
AJ looked at Spike and whistled. "Wow, and Twilights the smartest pony I know."
Spike shrugged. "Again, eh." Said Spike.
Granny hummed. "Well, if you would like to stay, you've got my ok, but I need to head to town and pick up some food for dinner. AJ, make sure Bloom gets her chores done."
AJ nodded. "Yes Ma'am, see you in a little while Granny." Said AJ as she watched Granny walk down the dirt road down to town.
Spike smiled. "She seems nice." Said Spike.
AJ sighed. "She pointed a shotgun at you, and she knows how to use it, most ponies would freak out and call her insane."
Spike shrugged. "She still seemed nice. So, AJ, how are you today?" Asked Spike.
AJ smiled. "Well, aside from all of this, pretty well, just got finished with today’s quota, so I was just going to start feeding the animals with Winona."
Spike gasped. "Winnie, come here girl." Said Spike happily, soon a Border Collie ran out of the house and looked at who was calling her. She saw her owner, one of her friends and a tall creature she had never seen, but something was telling her he was nice, so she ran over to Spike and started yipping. Spike smiled at the dog. "Oh, look at you, you're so adorable, who's a happy little girl, you are, that's who." Said Spike as he gave all his love to the little dog.
AJ and Rainbow looked at Spike, both were confused. "Um... Ok, this is weird." Said AJ, Rainbow nodded in agreement.
Spike looked at AJ. "How so, she's a great little dog, and she's always been well behaved." Said Spike as he scratched the dog’s ear.
AJ looked at Winona. "Come here girl." Said AJ. Winona yipped and got to her owners’ hooves, and once she was happy with her location she sat down. AJ looked at Spike. "Spike, I've trained Winona as a guard dog, and a farm hand, she knows not to just go up to strangers and act all friendly, so what gives?"
Spike shrugged. "Well, I kinda know Winona already, seeing as you always brought her to training." Spike looked at AJ, she was even more confused. Spike facepalmed. "Right, only told Rainbow, Pinkie, and Rarity. AJ, as weird as it sounds, I've actually known you for around 5 years now."
AJ nodded. "You're right, that does sound weird."
Rainbow nodded. "It gets weirder. Sheela can you pull up AJ's file, like you did mine?"
"Access denied, I require a member of Canterlot Corp's permission to comply." Said Sheela.
Spike nodded. "Sheela, pull up AJ's file." Said Spike.
"Affirmative. Full name: Abigale Jackeline Daniels, occupation: personal trainer to the Solaris family. For more information please read file." Said Sheela as AJ's full file pulled up on the screen.
Spike looked at the file. "Yep. Yep. Yep. Really? Who knew? Yep and please delete that last part." Said Spike blushing.
"Whew, hold up, what are you asking her to delete?" Asked AJ, she was suspicious of what could be so bad that not even she can see it.
Spike gulped as he covered the file. "Oh, nothing really, just a stupid mistake that got added."
AJ glared at Spike, but she nodded. But it wasn't to Spike, but to Rainbow, she nodded back and got behind Spike. Rainbow put Spike's arm into a hold and gave AJ a chance to see what he was hiding. But when AJ saw what was written she blushed hard. "Oh."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, they saw it on the gym security camera, I told mom not to fire you, and it was my idea."
AJ looked at Spike. "But, why would I?"
Spike shrugged as best as he could. "Couldn't tell you, mainly because you never told me. I always thought you and Riley were a thing."
Rainbow looked at Spike, then she looked at AJ. "What did it say?"
AJ blushed. "Um... Spike, you want to tell her?"
Spike gulped. "Um... Not really, it's you're file."
Sheela sighed. "Screw it, Ms. Dash, Spike and his AJ had a triss in the company spa one day during his vacation."
Rainbow blushed as she looked at AJ and Spike. "Ok, I was expecting something less personal." Said Rainbow as she let go of Spike. "So, this just got really awkward." Spike and AJ nodded.
Spike looked at AJ. "So, how about we go feed those animals?" Asked Spike as he tried to get this train off this track.
AJ nodded. "Yep, besides, that was her, not me."
"Yep." Said Spike as he followed AJ to deal with the animals, leaving Rainbow and Winona.
Rainbow sighed as she looked at the little dog. "Hey girl, follow them while I take a nap." Said Rainbow. Winona barked and followed her owner and Spike.
Flurry yawned as her system got enough power to wake up. "Good morning, what did I miss?"
Rainbow shrugged. "Nothing really, Spike got a shotgun pointed at his back, then Sheela pulled up AJ's file, and then things got weird and now AJ and Spike are off to feed the animals." Said Rainbow as she yawned.
Flurry hummed. "Oh, can I see them, Nova promised me he would build me a body and take me to the zoo for the first time."
Rainbow sighed. "Sure, but how can I get you to Spike?" Asked Rainbow.
Flurry didn't respond, but then there was a banging in the trunk of the car, which confused Rainbow. "Flurry, where are you?"
"In here, can you let me out?" Asked Flurry. "I forgot that this doesn't have a release."
Rainbow gulped as she got to the back of the car and with much caution, carefully opened the trunk. "Flurry?" Asked Rainbow.
Soon a pair of low tech opal pixel eyes blinked to life, and a little hand grabbed the edge of the trunk. Rainbow looked at the little hand, she was scared. "Flurry help, there's something coming out of the back."
The eyes looked at Rainbow. "Hey, can you help me, Nova never finished my body, and my joints are a little rusted?" Said Flurry as she really couldn't move faster.
Rainbow looked at the little frame. "Wait, you're in that thing?" Asked Rainbow.
Flurry nodded, but just doing that was difficult with all the rust. "Yes, Nova built me this frame so I could explore the world with my family. But he never got around to finishing it, so he decided to try again with a new unit."
Rainbow helped the little robot girl out of the trunk, the shock that there was a body in the trunk passing quickly. Rainbow placed Flurry on the ground, letting Rainbow have a great view of the little girl’s frame. She looked to be the size of a 8 year old filly, but she looked like a human, just minus a mouth, ears, nose, skin, hair, and really anything aside from her eyes, but there was one thing that stuck out, literally as there was a long cable coming out of her back that was attached to the power generator. Flurry looked at Rainbow. "Ms. Rainbow, can you help me get to father, and maybe find me some oil, my joints are stiff."
Rainbow nodded. "Um...Sure, let’s go." Said Rainbow as she took the little girl’s hand and the 2 headed to the barn to find Spike.
In the barn Spike and AJ were getting the animal feed ready, but they were trying hard to avoid the topic at hand. "So, you do this every day?" Asked Spike.
"Yep." Said AJ. "So, I work for your mother in your reality?"
"Yep." Said Spike. "Have been since I was around 13, and my mom got really into working out, and dragged me, my dad, my aunt and cousin into the gym at least 4 times a week."
AJ sighed as she looked at Spike. "Spike, about what I did in your reality."
Spike sighed. "Like I said, I have no idea why you did it, but let’s just forget about it, I never wanted it to ruin your career, that's why I took the blame, you're one of my friends AJ, and I did care about you."
AJ blushed as she kept working. "Thanks Spike, that actually means a lot to me."
Spike nodded. "Hey, I just want to know 2 things though, first back there you had D's, do you have them here too?" Asked Spike.
AJ blushed, but she nodded. "Yes, but can we not talk about that?"
Spike nodded. "Yeah, sorry, second is about what I said earlier, I always thought you and Riley were a thing, is there something going on between you and this Rainbow?" Asked Spike.
AJ blushed. "Well, kinda hard not to get those rumors in a world like ours. I'm sure one of the girls have told you about herds by now."
Spike nodded. "Yeah."
AJ nodded. "Well, sometimes Stallions aren't the greatest, and they think they are..." AJ took a deep breath. "Look, long story short, yes but we do like stallions."
Spike nodded. "Ok, I've always wondered it since I saw how close you 2 were." Said Spike as he lifted an 80 pound bag of chicken feed, but to him it only felt like 18 pounds. "So, can we just start over and forget about that?"
AJ smiled and nodded. "Sure, it's nice to meet you Spike, the names Applejack."
Spike smiled. "The same, and just because we're starting over, you're granny is crazy."
AJ chuckled at the little joke. "Oh, trust me, living in this town will make anypony crazy."
Spike chuckled. "I believe you, now let’s get to work."
AJ nodded, but before they could leave, Rainbow walked into the barn with Flurry. "Hey AJ, Spike, can we get some oil for Flurry?" Asked Rainbow.
Spike looked at the little robot next to Rainbow. "Flurry?" Asked Spike, he was pretty sure that he hadn't built Flurry a body when he developed the car.
Flurry nodded, and again it was hard. "Yes, Nova started building me this body before he dropped me off and pulled my system, he said he would finish one for me and then install me inside of it, but Father, can you oil my joints?"
Spike smiled at the little AI. "Sure, but let’s see if AJ has any first."
AJ was confused, but she was sure they had some oil in the barn for the plow. "Yeah, we should have some for you, just give me a second." Said AJ as she started looking for the oil.
Spike walked over to Flurry and started looking at her body, it was more advanced than robots from his time, but not by much. Spike picked her up, and she was lighter than robots in his time. "Flurry, can you open your shell?" Asked Spike.
Flurry nodded as her chest plate popped open, exposing her system to Spike. Spike looked at her insides. "Pneumatic actuators, high density carbon fiber frame, the wiring is a little messy, but fixable, definitely not from my time, but not out of the realm of possibility for in development tech." Spike looked at Flurry's face plate and eyes. "Flurry open your head for me please?"
Flurry popped open her face plate and Spike looked at the simple design of the head. "Ok, he didn't do a half bad job in here, but there is room for improvement, you're system is still in the car, but you have the ability to transmit through the power cable that powers you, I'm guessing that he was going to find a way to transfer you to a body permanently, and depending on if he was going to develop a miniature version of the MEG, I think we could fully make you independent of the car." Spike then looked at the eye visor. "But this is so low tech, what was Nova thinking, why not give you a screen?" Asked Spike.
AJ walked back with an oil can in her hands and handed it to Spike. "Spike, here's the oil." Said AJ.
Spike smiled. "Thanks AJ." Said Spike as he grabbed the oil can, and closed Flurry's face plate. "Flurry, open all panels and transfer to car until all panels are closed." Said Spike.
Flurry nodded as her eye screen went black and her body went limp, but she did pop open all her panels. AJ was confused. "Spike, why did you ask her to transfer back?"
Spike pointed to all the wires and delicate electrical components. "One wrong drop and she could lose a leg or arm, and if she's inside, she's going to be moving around. This way, there's less risk, and it's less creepy. Being hands deep into a little girl’s body and oiling her joints. This way, it's only a guy oiling a lifeless hunk of metal."
AJ nodded. "Yeah, that does sound weird."
Spike nodded as he started working from her feet up.
After 20 minutes Spike was done oiling Flurry's joints, and once her neck was oiled, Spike closed the last of the panels. Soon Flurry transferred back into her body. She started moving her hands and feet, then her arms and knees, lastly, she got to her feet and started walking around. "Finally, those joints were a pain, and If I ever see Nova again, I'm going to give him a piece of my motherboard about forgetting to do a coating so I wouldn't rust."
Spike smiled at seeing Flurry walking around. "Well, just remember to not kill your brother, he did build you a body."
Flurry huffed. "I know, but Zester wouldn't have forgotten, but no, he's too busy with the farm to spend time building me a body."
Spike looked at Flurry, he was confused on who Zester was. "Flurry, who's Zester?"
Flurry looked at Spike and she looked sheepish. "Right, I keep forgetting that you're not my father. Zester is my second brother."
Spike looked at Flurry. "Wait, where did Zester come from?" Asked Spike.
"Well, my Ma, Abigale of course, you're second wife." Said Flurry like it was simple.
Spike was really confused now. "Flurry, how many wives did your Spike have?"
"8, my mother and your first wife, Twilight Vivian Sparkle, your second wife Abigale, third was Diane, next was Riley, then came Silver Belle, Felicia came next, after her it was Sally Flutters, and lastly was Sophie Glimmer." Said Flurry.
Spike looked pale as he grabbed Flurry's shoulder. "Sweetie, how many kids do I have not counting you?"
"13, Nova is the oldest, then Zester, Comet, Prism, Emerald, Peach, Angel, Skyler, Wilhelm Jr, Jonnie, Daisy, Wallace, and the youngest of my family is baby Jacky."
Spike gulped as he let go of the little girl and walked over to a pile of hay. "Sheela, if I'm not awake in the next 5 hours please keep Flurry safe, I need to lay down."
Sheela nodded. "Of course, and if it helps, all of them are really famous people in my time, that helped humans colonize the moon and Mars."
Spike nodded. "Yeah, it does." Said Spike as he passed out from finding out that he had 8 wives and 13 kids.
Sheela looked to the girls. "Why don't you go on ahead, I'll keep watch over him."
Author's Note
Yeah, Spike is a three legged lemon tree with 8 wives and 13 kids that don't even exist in his or the pony reality, he's a genius, with a group of robotic AI's and a little daughter that is a copy of his soon to be human niece that hasn't even been born yet in his reality but has been in Equestria. Next we'll find out that Spike is his own grandpa, but not really, just a joke. But I'm going to propose this question, is what makes Spike's original reality, and the one where Flurry and Sheela are from, yet to hit the divergence point, or did they both have the same change in the past, and it was just a guy buying a pack of gum or not that decided when the reality was split?
Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
When Spike woke up, he woke up very groggy. He hardly slept after finding out that there was a reality where he had 14 kids and 8 wives, and he didn't think how much weirder life could get for him, but oh how he was wrong. Spike turned on the pile of hay he was laying on, and to his shock, he found Flurry nuzzled up to him. "Flurry?" Asked Spike.
Flurry's eyes lit up and she blinked. "Good evening Father, did you sleep well?" Asked Flurry.
Spike shook his head. "No, I couldn't stop thinking. What are you doing here?"
"Um... I remember seeing you or mother doing this with Nova when he was unable to sleep at night, and you three would fly around to help him sleep, so I thought it would help you."
Spike smiled at the little robot. "Well, it did, thanks, Flurry." Spike hugged the little AI, but the lack of sleep made him yawn. "Flurry what time is it?"
"The time is now 6:14 pm, you were asleep for 4 hours and 34 minutes."
Spike nodded as he got up and stretched his body. "Ok, well I think it's time for us to head back home, I got a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Flurry was confused. "Work? But Aunt Sheela's records indicate that you are unemployed."
Spike nodded. "Yep, but I'm going to need to start working on a body for you, seeing as Nova never got around to doing it."
Flurry gasped as she hugged Spike. "Thank you, Father, just make sure to add..."
"A rustproof coating, I'll make sure to add one to you here and the one I'll build when I get back." Said Spike.
Flurry smiled. "Thank you so much, Father."
Spike smiled. "Anything for my Flurry." Said Spike, Spike got to his feet and looked around. "Sheela, where are Rainbow and AJ?"
"Rainbow had to leave around 2 hours ago, and AJ is in her home talking with the old mare that threatened you with the shotgun." Said Sheela.
Spike nodded. "Ok, we're heading home soon, but I need you to start searching for all available components of the EMG and give me a detailed description of both my arm and leg, as well as the projectors you and the others use."
Sheela nodded. "Very well, but why not just grab one of the spares in our closet?"
Spike looked at Sheela. "There's more of you?"
Sheela giggled. "No, but we do have other projector frames in the closet, you probably didn't notice them when Tex put her fist through the door, but each of us has 3 spares in case our frame is damaged."
Spike smiled. "Cool, but will a system like Flurry be able to even run on something like that?" Asked Spike.
Sheela hummed. "No clue, but it is possible to downgrade them or upgrade Flurry to make them compatible."
Spike nodded. "Ok, now, will she be full-sized or just a little program with a large frame?"
Sheela hummed. "The frames are built to project equal to the amount of code in the AI, I have around 78 terabytes, Cally is around 52, Tex is 48, and Alison is around 46. Flurry, how large is your program?"
Flurry hummed as she searched. "I'm around 7 terabytes."
Sheela nodded. "Ok, we might want to augment a frame to make it more her sized." Said Sheela, Spike nodded. "I'll download the blueprints for the frames, and we can start them tomorrow."
Spike smiled as he looked at Flurry. "Well Flurry, looks like you're going to be getting a body sooner than we thought."
Flurry buzzed with excitement. "YAY, I can't wait." Cheered Flurry, but then her system sparked and Flurry blushed. "Oops, I sparked."
Spike sighed. "It's fine sweetie, why don't you take your body and jump back into the car, I'll be back in a minute."
Flurry nodded and ran out of the barn and back to the car. "You know that's the equivalent of..." Said Sheela.
"Sheela, I kinda guessed, and cut her some slack, she's excited."
Sheela nodded. "Sorry, what are you going to do now?"
Spike sighed as he walked out of the barn and walked over to the house, he knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. But it wasn't Granny or AJ, instead, it was a little filly that looked like she was as old as Sweetie Belle, she had a yellow coat and a mane of long red with a pink bow. "Can I help you?" Asked the filly as she was confused at who or what Spike was.
Spike nodded. "Can I talk to AJ for a moment?" Asked Spike.
"Sis, there's a weirdo at the door for you." Yelled the filly.
AJ sighed as she walked over to see who was asking for her at this time of night, but she smiled when she saw it was Spike. "Oh, you're up."
Spike nodded. "Yep, just got up in fact. Sorry for not helping, things got weird."
AJ blushed and nodded. "It's fine, is Flurry ok?" Asked AJ, she noticed that the little AI wasn't around.
Spike nodded. "Yeah, she's fine, she's hopping into the trunk of the car and transferring her system right now."
AJ sighed. "Good to hear, oh, would you like to have some dinner, Granny makes a mean hay soup?"
Spike chuckled. "AJ, no offense to Granny, but humans don't eat hay, I have some food at home, and I got a lot of work to do, so can we have a rain check?"
AJ smiled. "Fine, be here tomorrow night for dinner, you should meet the in-laws." Giggled AJ.
Spike groaned. "Not funny AJ, it's still hard for me to understand."
AJ blushed. "Sorry."
Spike smiled. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow for dinner." Said Spike as he walked off the porch and headed for the F1U66Y.
AJ smiled as she watched Spike. "You know he's cute in a weird way." Said Granny as she walked over to her granddaughter.
"Yep."
"And he's good with that little doohickey with eyes. Flurry or something."
AJ nodded. "Yep."
"If I was only 60 years younger, he might have been your grandpa."
"GRANNY!?" Yelled AJ, Granny giggled.
When Spike got back to the house, he parked in the garage. "Flurry, I'm going to pull your system for a few days, I'll plug you back in if I need to leave or when I have your body done."
Flurry hummed. "Ok, but can I stay with you?"
Spike gasped. "What, where did you expect to stay? of course, I'm going to keep you with me."
Flurry smiled. "Ok, my system is right behind my console. Opening my panel now." Said Flurry as she opened her console and sitting inside was a 10 terabyte hard drive. Spike looked at the hard drive and unhooked it from the system. Spike turned the drive and found a little note on the back.
My little Flurry, completed with my girlfriend Twilight on March 15th, 2021, 6.5 terabytes, much easier than 9 months of pregnancy, but no less rewarding. Love you, Flurry.
Spike looked at the note and sighed. "Ok, so Twilight and I get together before finishing her." Said Spike.
"Master, welcome back." Greeted Cally as she projected in the garage.
Spike smiled at seeing Cally. "Hey Cally, how did the search go?"
Cally smiled. "Very well, there were 458 matches found on record, would you like me to print all names?"
Spike gulped. "Nope, just keep it on file, I've had enough mind breaking news today."
Cally nodded as she saved the file. "Done, now can I hop back into my home?" Asked Cally.
Spike nodded. "Sheela, thank you for joining me today, head back to your projector and inform Tex and Alison that I'm going to be taking one of the spares for Flurry."
Sheela nodded. "Yes sir, and it was a pleasure." Said Sheela as she transferred to her unit.
Cally jumped back into the arm and hummed. "Oh, I missed this place." Said Cally.
Spike smiled at hearing she was glad to be home. "Ok, I'm going to head to the kitchen and make some dinner."
After dinner was done, Spike decided to take a shower. "Master, do you remember what we talked about this morning?" asked Cally, she was watching as Spike was naked and washing his hair.
Spike nodded. "I do, and I'm not opposed to it, but I don't want to force you into it." Said Spike as he rinsed.
Cally smiled as she transferred out of his arm and projected herself in the shower, but instead of being in the shower, she was outside of the bathroom. "What the hell?" Asked Cally.
Sheela in her unit walked behind Cally. "Cally, all units are unable to enter a bathroom while the door is closed, so the moment you transferred out, you were forced out."
Cally turned around. "Sheela, why are you here?" Asked Cally.
Sheela smirked. "I found your calendar while I was in your system today. Fuck Spike at 8:30 pm, but shame on you, why did you plan for it to end at 9:30?"
Cally blushed. "What, he's a guy, he can't last that long."
Sheela smirked. "Didn't you look at Spike's first time with Ember?"
Cally shook her head. "No, he blocked me before I could, how did you see it?"
Sheela smirked. "I didn't tell him that he needs to do it for each of us when we swap in, and mother of god can that man last, his first time, he and Ember did it until sunrise."
Cally blushed. "But... Oh god."
Sheela nodded with a smirk. "I'm joining in, make a copy of hard light, and send it to me, so I can add it to my programs."
Cally smiled and sent a copy of Hard Light to Sheela. Sheela smiled as she activated it, soon her projector buzzed loudly, and Sheela's body became solid. "Hard Light mode activated, please confirm that the user is of legal age."
Cally nodded. "I am."
Sheela nodded. "Affirmative. Mistress, would you like me to stimulate you with my phallus or my mouth?"
Cally sighed. "So, this is what it's like, Sheela, change personality to default."
"Personality request accepted." Sheela's eyes blinked to normal. "Oh, sweet Jesus, the one thing I missed about a body, having a fire in my pussy." Said Sheela as she was producing secretions.
"Sheela calm down and get into the bed." Said Cally.
Sheela nodded and ran to the bed. Cally popped back to Spike. "Sorry Master, I was getting some weird interference."
Spike nodded. "It's fine, I was worried that you were damaged."
Cally smiled. "Thank you Master, and I was thinking, I would like to utilize Hard Light tonight."
"Ok." Said Spike with a sigh.
Cally smiled. "Thank you, Master, let's head to the bed and we can start."
Spike nodded as he turned off the shower. "Sure, let me dry off first and we can head to bed." Spike grabbed a towel and started drying off. "So Cally, how is this going to work? As much as I love doing it on the bed, it does kinda limit the options."
Cally hummed. "Well, I've been thinking, my system is close enough to Sheela's and the others, so I'm compatible with the projector frames, and my programs can transfer as well, so I can activate hard light while in it, so that can resolve that issue, but that leaves the issue of limb operation, every time I project myself through the house, I'm still with you." Cally sighed. "We could assign Tex or Alison to act as the operating system while we have sex?"
Spike cocked an eyebrow. "Why not Sheela?"
Cally hummed. "Well, you see... SWEET MOTHER OF CHRIST, I'M FLOWING LIKE A WATERFALL!" Cried Sheela as she just had her first climax since she became an AI.
Spike looked at Cally. "Is that who I think it is?"
Cally sighed. "Well, yes, and she wants a turn."
Spike sighed as he couldn't believe he was about to fuck an AI, let alone 2 of them. "Cally, why not change out with her?"
Cally giggled. "Well, you see, if she and I have sex, while one of us is in your limbs, it's more like masturbation, and she likes the idea of a threesome."
Spike groaned. "So, what's the plan then?"
Cally smirked. "Assigning secondary AI to act as operating system, transferring to a new host frame."
Spike gulped; he didn't like where this was going. "Cally?" Asked Spike.
Tex sighed. "Sorry tripod, you're stuck with me, but damn, nice equipment."
Spike sighed. "So, you're not going to kill me for sleeping with your sister and Sheela?"
Tex shrugged. "Well, make it good for them and I'll ignore it."
Spike smirked. "Wanna join?" Tex growled in response. "Ok, maybe another time."
Cally walked into the room in Tex's frame and looked at Sheela. "Mom, where is he?" Sheela pointed to the bathroom door. Cally walked over to it and knocked on the door. "Spike, are you ready?"
Spike shook his head. "Right, sorry. Yes, I am." Spike kept the towel on and walked out of the bathroom, and when he did, he was surprised to see Sheela in her frame sucking on her own nipple and furiously fingering herself with 3 of her fingers. Spike looked to his left and found Cally in the same shape as her hard light form, but she was still a little see-through.
Cally smiled at him, as she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the bed. "Ok Master, Sheela is already in Hard Light, I sent her a copy of the program, and she's already in her default state."
"Fucking horny and ready to take some 22-year-old tree trunk dick." Chimed in Sheela.
Cally rolled her eyes. "Right, so if we could get me into it, we can start right away."
"Cally, activate Hard Light." Said Spike.
Cally buzzed as her body became less see-through. "Hard Light mode activated, please confirm that the user is of legal age."
Spike nodded. "I am."
"Acknowledged. Master, would you like me to stimulate you with my tits, my ass, or my mouth first?"
Spike sighed. "Cally, change personality to default." Said Spike.
"Personality change accepted." Cally then blinked her eyes. "Man, now that I know what happens when this thing is activated, I kinda wish we could just skip the questions and I could just default."
Spike nodded as he looked at Cally. "Cally, how do you want to do this?"
Cally smirked. "Well, I was thinking that you take me from behind, and I eat out Sheela, while she gets her tits played with you."
Spike nodded as he looked at Sheela. "Sheela, come here and lay down with your head hanging over the bed. Cally, you get on top of her facing the wall, and I'll line up from behind." Everyone got into position. "Now, Sheela, make them bigger so I can grab them." Sheela made her tits, which were Ds into I's, and made her nipples grow until they were an inch long. Spike grabbed the tits, and Sheela moaned at feeling her large tits getting played with. "Cally, can you buzz while I'm inside of you?"
Cally nodded as she started her massage function, but she limited it to her lower half. "Ready."
Spike nodded, there wasn't anything else for him to stop him. So, he pushed into Cally's folds. "Holy Shit, Spike why did you stick your arm in?" Asked Cally.
Spike smirked. "I didn't, but don't you have to eat some Milf pussy?" Asked Spike as he keeps pushing deeper into Cally's digital folds, all while he was going nuts at her vibrating.
Cally moaned as she was letting her code stay tight, for Spike to enjoy, but he was right, she still needed to tend to Sheela. Cally stuck out her tongue and started slurping up Sheela's solo time.
Sheela moaned at feeling her daughter licking up her secretions. "Cally, that's it, play with my clit." Sheela then clamped her thighs around Cally to make sure she stayed muzzled deep in her snatch. Cally tried to pull up, but thanks to Sheela she couldn't.
Spike looked at Sheela and grabbed her nipples. He pulled one of them and twisted the other. "Sheela, I kinda feel like you’re doing nothing, so use your hands and find something to do."
Sheela smirked as she used her hands to play with Spike's massive balls, and thanks to hard light, she was heating her hands and coating them in some lube. "Fine, I'll play with these."
Spike moaned at the warmness of Sheela's hands and Cally's tight vibrating pussy. He was enjoying it so much that he didn't even care that his climax was coming. "Warning, Climax detected, increasing body sensitivity to 500 percent." Said both Cally and Sheela.
Cally cried in pure euphoria at the sudden jump in pleasure she was getting, which blew back to Sheela as her pussy was now super sensitive to anything. "HOLY FUCK!" Cried Sheela. "Why the fuck can't I cum? Please note that Hard Light is designed to allow for the unit’s owner to feel max pleasure, an automatic release will occur when the user climaxes." Said Sheela, she then blinked. "So, I can’t cum until Spike does?" She looked at Spike. "Spike, please hurry, this is torture." Cried Sheela as she was starting to lose her processors.
Spike nodded as he sped up his thrusting into Cally's pussy. Soon Spike started grunting and clenched teeth. "Sheela, Cally, I'm close." Spike then grabbed Cally's waist and shoved himself down her tunnel, Cally muffled cries were sending numerous waves of pleasure through Sheela, and the moment Spike started painting Cally's walls white, Cally came and shot synthetic vaginal juices out and sloshing most of it onto Sheela's face. Sheela then suddenly came and flooded Cally's system with her juices, most of which Cally was able to drink down, but still, some made it onto the bed. But Spike kept pumping, making sure that he was empty, and not wanting to leave Cally's tight pussy until he was sure.
But soon he pulled out of Cally, letting his still rock hard member swing around. "Whew. that was great."
Sheela giggled. "I'm glad to know." She then looked at Spike's cock, it was still slick with Cally's coolant. "Master let me clean that for you."
Spike looked down at Sheela. "Sheela, trust me, every girl I've been with couldn't take it all."
Sheela smirked. "Spike, I can alter my body, make my throat wider, I don't need air, and I can make my tongue vibrate as well."
Spike looked down at the lusty Milf AI, he brought his cock right to her mouth and she opened for him. Spike pushed his top into her mouth, and it felt like she was sucking him in like a vacuum, before he knew it, she was nose to crotch with her. His balls hitting her in the face and Sheela licking his shaft with her buzzing tongue. "Sweet Lord, this is great!" Said Spike, he could feel everything getting wet, every inch of code of her throat working to make him cum, and the feeling of Sheela's warm air fans blowing on his underside. Spike bent down to play with Sheela's tits, but he was stopped by Cally.
"Master, can you play with mine instead?" Asked Cally as she made her tits into Es and just as if she was reading Spike's thoughts, she started pinching them, and a liquid started dropping out. Spike looked at the nipples of the AI and she giggled. "Nontoxic, reconstructed air molecules formed to make a liquid with the same taste and texture of anything, just no nutritional value."
Spike pulled Cally close, he shoved one tit into his mouth, then used one hand to guide himself in Sheela, and the other to play with Cally's free tit. "Oh, Master that feels wonderful." Moaned Cally as Spike sucked happily.
Soon Spike moved to the other tit as he could feel his own cock getting ready to load his next shot. Spike pulled halfway out of Sheela's mouth, and thrust back in quickly, feeling Sheela's throat try and keep him in. Spike found a rhythm, pulling in and out of Sheela's mouth and sucking on Cally's tits.
After 15 minutes of throat fucking Sheela, Spike reached his limit. Spike snatched both of Cally's nipples into his mouth and moved both of his hands to Sheela's throat, Spike's thrusting speed picked up and became more intense, and with one more full thrust, Spike released his seed down Sheela's throat, shooting his second load in spurts. Sheela happily sucked down every drop and she was glad to know that he was happy with her throat.
Once Spike was finished shooting down Sheela's throat, he pulled out, letting his dick drag over Sheela's face. Spike released Cally's nipples and looked down at Sheela. "Sheela that was great."
Sheela smiled as she gave little licks to the cock. "Why thank you, Master. Now if you would like to rest, we would be happy to join you for the night?"
Spike looked at Sheela, he was confused. "Why the night's is still young, and I've only cum twice?"
Sheela looked at Spike. "Well, most males are only able to go a few rounds at a time."
Cally looked at Sheela. "Mom, didn't you look into his memories?"
Sheela nodded. "I did, but when I was watching his sex memories, I kinda got distracted." Sheela licked her lips as she stared at Spike's cock. "Am I missing something?"
Cally sighed. "Mom, Spike has only just started, he's gone over 8 times before he needs to rest."
Sheela looked at Spike with a lustful smirk. "Really, well then I have some fun ideas." Spike gulped at the look on Sheela's face, but his cock stood straight and hard.
They fucked until Spike was dry and he was sure if they were humans, they would be pregnant, but now Spike was getting cuddled by both mother and daughter in the bed. The latter 2 were in sleep mode, but Spike was fully awake, he was exhausted but he still couldn't sleep. "Master Spike, why aren't you asleep?" Asked Tex.
Spike shrugged. "Don't know, just can't sleep I guess." Spike looked at his arm. "Tex, can you get Alison to bring a spare frame down to the garage and start a pot of coffee for me?"
Tex nodded. "Sure, you're going to start a frame for Flurry, right?"
Spike nodded. "Yep, I normally work when I can't sleep, but on that note, can you download the manual, and blueprints of the frames?"
Tex shrugged. "On it, but what about these 2?"
Spike smiled as he snapped out of the bed and reappeared near the closet. "They'll be fine." Said Spike as he got dressed in some of his clothes. Once he was dressed Spike left his room and made his way to start working on the frame.
"Master, in the frame there are over 6000 micro projectors in the skeletal structure. 500 per limb, 1500 for the body, and 2500 for the head and eyes. They can transmit all 5 senses to our systems." Said Tex.
"Ok, can you calculate how many projectors are needed for a 7 terabyte AI?"
Tex hummed. "Well, it would be harder for you to downgrade a frame, so I would upgrade Flurry."
Spike groaned. "That's not an option, I don't have a large enough storage system to contain her after the update."
"Then why not utilize Sheela, she can assimilate Flurry's code. Then you wait for her system to update the code to our system standard. Then have her produce a copy of Flurry's new updated code... You didn't know she could do that, did you?" Spike shook his head. "Ok, I'm changing with her now."
Tex was gone, and Sheela popped into Spike's arm. "Master, why aren't you in bed?" Asked Sheela.
Spike smiled at Sheela. "Couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd get started on Flurry's body."
Sheela nodded as she yawned. "Ok, so why did Tex swap out with me?"
"She told me that you can integrate Flurry into your system and update it to work with the frames." Said Spike as he walked into the garage. Alison was waiting there with a cup of coffee and a frame near the workbench.
"Good evening Master Spike, I have brought you what you asked for." Said Alison as she handed Spike the coffee.
Spike smiled at Alison as he took the coffee. "Thank you, Alison, would you mind assisting me while I work?"
Alison smiled as she bowed. "Not at all, Master."
Spike nodded. "So, Sheela, how long will it take for you to upgrade Flurry?"
Sheela did some calculations in her system. "Well, depending on the complexity of her code, maybe about 1 hour to update her, and another 2 to copy her."
Spike smiled at hearing that. "Great, Alison, can you go grab Flurry's hard drive from my room, I didn't think this was going to take so little time, so I forgot to bring her?"
"Post haste." Said Alison as she walked to Spike's room to get Flurry.
Spike looked at the frame and moved it to the workbench. "Ok, Sheela, how much will this update add to her code?"
"About 30 terabytes. Meaning she will need at least half a frame to fully appear."
Spike nodded. "Understood. Walk me through the process of how to cut them down."
"To start, please make sure that it is an inactive frame, which it is. Second, using a screwdriver, please start by removing the head...
Alison returned with Flurry's hard drive. "Master, I have brought Flurry."
"Thanks, Alison, hey can you find a 9/16th wrench?" Asked Spike, he then removed his middle finger from his arm revealing a powerful laser cutter and welder. Spike looked at one of the joints in the frame and cut it off.
"Good, so that is the basic idea of how to change the size of the frame." Said Sheela.
Spike nodded as he returned his middle finger. "Thank you, Sheela. I'll leave about 3/4ths of the frame on, and I'll store the others for when she can grow more."
Alison had found the wrench. "Here you go, Master Spike." Spike smiled as he took the wrench and began popping off some of the vertebrae from the back. Once Spike was done, he disengaged his arm and leg so Sheela could focus on Flurry.
"Alison please pick up my leg and place it near Flurry, do the same with my arm." Said Spike.
Alison nodded as she picked up Spike's arm and leg and placed it near Flurry. "Master, she will be ready in 2 hours 54 minutes." Said Sheela.
Spike nodded. "Great, it shouldn't take me more than 3 hours to rewire and reattach everything. Alison, since I don't have a leg, can you go around and grab everything I need?"
Alison gasped. "Right away."
"10 feet of soldering material and iron, my middle finger from my arm, oil, one of the charging stations for the frames, and a space heater, it's actually pretty cold tonight."
Alison nodded. "4 of the needed items are within 10 feet of the unit, procuring all other materials first." Alison then ran out of the room to get the space heater and sending Tex a message to get one of the charging stations for the frame.
Spike sighed as he took a sip of the coffee. "Don't worry Flurry, I'll make it great."
After Alison and Tex brought the materials, Spike was set to work. He cut the wires, detached the joints that made up the frame, sanded the frame so it was more uniform to the new frame shape, and lastly he used some of the charging stations components to test that he hadn't fucked up the projectors. Thankfully Spike only screwed up the first projector that he removed, he kinda broke the small projector housing that would be her pinkie toe and, in his opinion, it made them closer. Once he was sure it was ready, Spike started reassembling the frame that was 3 quarters the size of Alison's frame. It was early in the morning when Spike had finished working on the frame. Spike looked at the frame, it was a little messy, he still needed to treat the parts he sanded and finish any adjustments that he needed to make when Flurry tested it out, but right now, it was just fine.
Spike yawned as he looked outside. It was nighttime and he could see the stars. "Alison, what time is it?"
"4:42 am." Responded Alison. "You have been working for 2 hours and 46 minutes."
Spike yawned. "First all-nighter in a while. Alison, after everything is done, I'm going to bed, please send anyone that wants to see me away and explain why."
Alison nodded. "Affirmative."
Spike sighed as he just needed to wait for Sheela to finish. Spike yawned again as he was sleepy, but he at least wanted to get Flurry back. "Alison why don't you go rest?"
Alison shook her head. "Thank you, master, but I cannot comply until I know you will be fine."
Spike sighed as he rubbed his head. "Fine, can you tell me how much more she has to do?"
Sheela giggled. "You could just ask me, or you could just ask Flurry?"
Flurry yawned as her voice came from the arm and leg. "Wow, where am I?"
Spike smiled at seeing Flurry was fine. "Flurry, how do you feel?" Asked Spike.
"What happened?" Asked Flurry.
"Nothing, but today is your birthday and I got you a present, Flurry." Said Spike.
"But I'm not Flurry, I'm Alpha, right?"
Sheela smiled at Flurry. "No Sweetie, it's just some of my code still in you, your designation is Flurry."
Flurry hummed. "Right, sorry, Father, why do I feel so weird?"
Spike smiled. "I'll explain in a minute but try searching for an open system nearby."
"Ok, I'm sensing 1 really close, and a few a little farther away, should I go to the one closer to me?" Asked the girl.
Spike nodded. "Yep."
Flurry left Spike's limbs and soon the mini frame started blinking to life. Soon a pinkish white body was forming, with a mane of light violet and artic blue. Then a pair of opal eyes formed at the head. Spike looked at the little AI in her frame. "Flurry, how do you feel?" Asked Spike.
Flurry turned her head to look at Spike. "Father?" Spike nodded. "I can see you." Spike took her hand. "I can feel your hand." Spike helped Flurry sit on the workbench. "What happened to me?" Asked Flurry.
"We updated you to work on a projector frame, you are now in a body that is free from needing a power system." Said Spike.
Flurry smiled at Spike. "So, I'm not in the car anymore?"
Spike nodded. "Yep, but I'm planning on adding a better system to it soon, so you can change bodies. But for now, why don't you look around with Aunt Alison."
Flurry nodded. "Father, did you work all night again?"
Spike smiled but nodded. "Yep, did I do that a lot?"
Flurry nodded. "Yep, I had to drive you home multiple times, please go to bed?"
Spike yawned. "That's where I'm heading." Spike summoned his arm and leg and they reattached to him. "Alison, take Flurry around the house to help her get the lay of the land."
Alison nodded. "Come along Flurry, we must let Master sleep."
Flurry nodded as she hopped down from the workbench, she stumbled at first, but soon she got the hang of walking. "Ok Aunt Alison." Alison took Flurry's hand and they walked out of the garage.
Spike yawned again, but he couldn't find the strength to move. Sheela sighed. "Spike, I'm calling Tex to help carry you back to bed."
Spike shook his head. "Sheela activate Hard Light." Spike felt his arm and leg disappear.
"Hard Light mode activated, please confirm that the user is of legal age." Said Sheela as her Hard Light body finished forming.
Spike nodded. "I am."
"Acknowledged. Master, would you like me to stimulate you with my tits, my ass, or my mouth first?"
Spike sighed. "Sheela, change personality to default." Said Spike.
"Personality change accepted." Sheela blinked. "Ok, I'll carry you back."
Spike smiled as his eyes closed and he started to snore. Sheela smiled at Spike. "You are someone very special." Said Sheela as she kissed Spike's forehead, she picked him up and started carrying him back to bed.
