"So, care to explain why we are tied up in chains, hanging off of the side of Riverdale island?" Asked a blue dragoness with downward scooping horns and red eyes. She was looking at her leader and kinda sorta boyfriend, but right now the most accurate term would be idiot.

"Well don't blame me; I was the one who saved your scales from taking that lightning gem blast to the face." Responded a tall, purple and green dragon. "Why not look at the guy that set off the alarm?"

"I would, but he's on the other side of me and I can't turn my head."

"You guys do know that I can hear you right?" Asked a very large red dragon with orange fins and spikes.

"Yes, but somehow you didn't hear us when we said, multiple times, to watch out for security." Chastised the blue dragoness.

"I said I was sorry; I was a little too busy dealing with Peewee trying to peck out Smolders eyes." The Red dragon shot their leader a glare. "Seriously, put a leash on Peewee, Spike."

The purple dragon sighed. "Well, tell her to stop messing with his nest and maybe he won't attack her, Garble."

The blue dragoness sighed. "Will you two knuckl heads shut up?!"

This made the two guys sigh. "Sorry Ember."

Ember really wished she could rub her eyes. "I swear, if I didn't like you Spike, and my father actually grew a brain, I would have been ranked Dragon Lord by now."

Spike chuckled. "Really, but I remember you complaining that it was way too much work, and you rather stay a knight and kick ass. Plus, we wouldn't see each other as often as we do."

Ember rolled her eyes. "Yes, because hanging over the clouds is a great date."

Spike smiled. "Well, it was how we met."

Spike and Ember were flying between islands, but they were attacked by a Roc, a massive bird that had a taste for dragons. It wasn't that hard to take out, but Ember got hurt in the process, so Spike had to carry Ember to the closest Island. "If you drop me, I'll kill you." Said Ember.

Spike smiled. "If I don't, you have to go on a date with me."

Ember sighed. "I'm going to kill my dad for assigning me to your patrol route. Deal."

"And I've regretted that moment for all of my life." Said Ember.

"I love you too babe." Said Spike.

"You guys done?" Asked a stallion dressed in a black suit of armor. "I kinda got somewhere to be in like five minutes and I didn't want to interrupt at first, but..."

Spike shrugged. "Yeah, sorry about that Crow, how's the legion?"

Crow shrugged. "You know, same old same old, storm a town, steal all the gems, recruit everyone into the empire."

Ember nodded. "And Silvia?"

Crow smiled. "Oh, I need to tell you guys. She's pregnant, I'm going to be a father."

Spike smiled. "Wow, congratulations man, I'll leave you enough bits to buy a drink after we break out."

Crow sighed. "Spike, why do you do this every time?"

Spike shrugged. "Well, Sombra is a tyrant, that wants to control the whole world and doesn't care who he needs to go through to get there."

"Well, yeah, but the food's good, pay is great, and we get full health and dental, plus 6 weeks off a year and he matches our 401k." Said Crow.

"Wait, seriously, we only get 2 weeks off and we don't even get dental, we're dragons, dental is not cheap." Said Spike.

Crow shrugged. "Well, with your skills Spike, I'm pretty sure you could raise through the ranks rather quickly."

"Cool, where do I sign up?" Asked Spike.

Ember and Garble looked at Spike. "What the fuck, Spike, you're just going to leave the order because of dental?" Asked Ember in shock.

Spike shrugged. "Well, yeah, sorry babe, I'll make you my second if you want to come as well."

Crow smiled. "They give full 9 month maternity leave, and the guys tell me that the daycare is great in the Empire, we're thinking of sending in an application."

Ember hummed. "Really? My mother only got 2 months, and she was back right after I was laid. You got a second contract?"

Garble looked at his two former friends. "Guys, why are you doing this?" Ember then kicked Garble in the leg. "Hey, stop that Ember." Spike joined in. "Spike, why are you helping her?"

Crow smiled. "Cool, let me just pull you guys back to the island and we can sign the contracts." Said Crow as he used his magic to levitate the group back to solid ground. Once they were on the ground, Crow used his magic to undo their bindings. "Ok, so I'm going to need a few bits of information."

Spike nodded as he rubbed his wrists. "Sure, what do you need?"

"First I need to know what class of wings you guys have."

Spike nodded. "2 wheel, 20 foot span, runs best on fire and lightning, she's a little kitted out, so just call her a custom." Said Spike.

Crow nodded. "Ember?"

"Trike, 2 in the front, 1 in the back, hover cycle. Runs best on Ice and wind, modern parts with old shell, so a custom as well."

Crow hummed. "Well, I'll talk to the commander about finding the equivalent of them in the garage area, but I make no guaranties. Next, would you two prefer to live together or apart?"

Spike smiled. "We practically live together already, but is there a real difference?"

Crow nodded. "Yeah, me and Silvia got 2 extra rooms, 3 extra bathrooms, plus all baby expenses are easily requested by a form. But we signed up for a family home. My friend, got an apartment that would barely fit a mouse."

Ember nodded. "Well, just as long as I get most of the sink for my stuff."

Crow smiled. "Two sinks in the master bathroom, with a large mirror."

Ember smiled. "Together, definitely together."

Crow nodded. "Ok, lastly do you both pledge your full loyalty to the great king Sombra, of the Shadow Empire, willing to give your lives to the cause?" Asked Crow.

Spike hummed. "Nah. Ember?"

"Oh, no I'm pretty sure that's all too boring."

Crow sighed. "Oh, well, I'll just put you two back in the bonds."

Spike shrugged. "No, we'll just walk away with Garble. Tell Silvia that we said hi and give her a kiss from the Storm Dragons." Said Spike.

Crow groaned. "I screwed up."

Ember nodded. "Hey, but look on the bright side, we'll make it look like you fought hard, and you'll get a promotion."

Spike smiled. "See you later Crow." Said Spike as he punched Crow in the face and knocked him out.

Author's Note

New idea that I been thinking of doing. Tell me is you remeber this show. Just a little heads up, all dragons are wingless, everytime I mention flight or wings I'm talking about the vehicles. Crow will show up every so often, as that likeable bad guy.
