The Fight for Happiness

The Fight for Happiness Chapter 2 Part 3: The Bloc Party

“Come on Drake, I don’t want to be late to Pinkie’s party!” Shouted an agitated Twilight.

“Sorry Twilight I was just redressing my wound, I’m ready to go now.” Said Drake descending the staircase.

“It’s fine, Drake…Why are your bandages going over your flank?”

“I think there is a small fracture in my rear, from when I made impact with the tree.”

“Drake you should seriously let me take a look at those injures, I can use my magic to quicken the healing. I’m sure I have a spell for it somewhere.” Said Twilight walking towards her multitude of books.

“I prefer to heal naturally, and plus we don’t want to be late for the party.”

“All right then, I’m ready when you are.”

“After you.” Said Drake tucking a small bottle of red liquid into his shirt pocket.

The two ponies walked out the door and into the summer air, it was a bit humid but nothing to complain about. Drake wasn’t wearing anything outstanding just a green and blue plaid button up and his amethyst claw necklace, while Twilight was wearing nothing. The two ponies saw many others heading towards the block party and a few were ponies that Twilight didn’t recognize. The two ponies partook in some light conversation talking about what Twilight could teach Drake next after he healed and what Twilight was currently studying.  The two could hear the music as they approached the lines for entrance into the party. There was a huge line of ponies waiting to get into the party, and again a few of them Twilight didn’t recognize. Twilight and Drake walked up to the bouncer and showed them their shared VIP pass, the bouncer let them through while a bunch of ponies complained behind them. When Pinkie said bloc party she wasn’t kidding, ponies were all over this neighborhood and at the end of the street was this huge house that was crowded with ponies.

“So Drake, what do you think?” Asked Twilight

“I’m impressed; I didn’t think that this many ponies would show up.”

“I know, I see a bunch of ponies I don’t even recognize, a lot of out of town ponies must have gotten word that there was a party.”

“I’m going to head to the mansion at the end of the street it looks like the real party is in there.”

“I’ll come with you.”

As Drake walked down the street with Twilight he noted all of the houses that had different activities going on. One house was surrounded by wobbly ponies that were laughing and falling over each other, Drake took note that house was the bar. Another was filled with shouts of anger and joy, gambling area he thought.

“Drake are you alright, you’re very quiet.”

“Oh yeah I was just thinking to myself, I haven’t been to this big of a party in a while.”

“Okay well were almost at the mansion.”

There was another line for the mansion, although this one was a bit shorter. Twilight and Drake again went to the front flashed their VIP pass and entered, once again the patrons in line complained loudly about how they shouldn’t have to pay extra to get into the mansion.

They entered the mansion and music assaulted their ears and almost knocked them to the ground. They both looked at the dance floor and ponies were going crazy, they had a bar to the left of the dance floor and a Deejay booth near the dance floor to the right.

“Oh my goodness, she really doesn’t skimp on expenses does she?” shouting so Twilight could hear him.

“No she doesn’t, she gets endorsements from the richest pony in Ponyville.” Twilight pointed to a balcony and saw Pinkie Pie standing next to a brown pony with a black mane.

“Who’s that?”

“Filthy Rich, he owns a huge store here in Ponyville. He gives Pinkie the money she throws an amazing party they split the proceeds.”

“I didn’t know Pinkie Pie was such a businesspony.”

The music stopped and the speakers started to make a noise as if someone was taping on the mic.

“Alright! I like the way you ponies move. Now before I take a quick break lets here it for our fabulous hosts, Pinkie Pie the Party Queen and Mr. Rich the pony who funds it so all this can happen. Let me here you SCREAM!

The ponies screamed and roared for their hosts and the two host ponies waved and smiled at the party goers. Drake couldn’t see the DJ but he knew that voice, as she jumped down a wave of ponies followed her as she walked towards the bar. An ocean of ponies crowded her as she sat down and ordered a Drink a couple of bouncers making sure the fans kept their distance. Drake made his way towards the front of the crowd and tried to get a look at the DJ. Their eyes locked as she took of her glasses, her red eyes making contact with his green ones, her face breaking into a wide grin. She whispered to one of the bouncers and pointed at Drake and the bouncer waved him over. Drake approached the pony as she walked up and gave him a hug.

“Drake! What’s up, how’s one of my favorite party ponies?”

“I’m fine. So how long has it been since we last met Scratchy.”

“Hey you know the rules while I’m on the clock it’s DJ Pon3 or Vinyl Scratch.”

“Right sorry about that.” Said Drake as they both sat back down at the bar.

“It’s cool; I think it’s been about a year and a half bro, it’s good to see you again. Hey bartender make it two and hurry it up I need to be back in the booth in a little bit.”

“It’s been way to long, so I see the music business is treating you well.”

“Damn straight it is. And I see life isn’t treating you to well at all, what’s up with that killer wound.”

“Some trouble in the Everfree, but it’s getting better.”

“Your drinks sir and madam.” Said a pony who levitated a couple of glasses filled with an almost glowing blue liquid.

“Bottoms up Drake.” Said Vinyl Scratch with a smirk on her face

The two chugged there drinks as the strong alcoholic beverage made its way down their throats it burned but tasted oh so good. Vinyl finished first and put her glass drinking end down on the table, Drake finished shortly after doing the same thing.

“Looks like I win again, that’s like the eighth time in a row that I’ve beaten you.”

“You always did finish first Vinyl.” Said Drake smirking.

“Oh bullshit, I rocked you and you know it.”

The two just laughed as they ordered another drink. This time the bartender was a bit swifter and already had the drink prepared. He levitated the drinks to them and went back to fixing drinks for other ponies.

“Walk with me back to my booth Drake.” Said the Vinyl as she got up from the bar.

The two made their way back to the booth through the middle of the dance floor, the bouncer ponies clearing a path for them. Drake looked into the crowd and saw and felt the envy of the poines looking at him. As they made it back to the booth Vinyl spoke into the mic.

“Alright party ponies I’m back!”

The crowd cheered and roared like they did before.

“Let’s get this next track started!” she flipped a few switches and the speakers blasted a song.

She turned away from the mic to Drake.

“Alright Drake you still remember the rules of get some find some right?

“You’re never going to let me go are you?” Said Drake jokingly

“Hey, you got some now you got to go find some for me.”

“Fine, any preferences?”

“I’m in the mood for a mare tonight, bonus points if you can get two.”

“Alright I won’t be long.” Said Drake as he jumped off the booth.

Twilight walked up to the second floor of the mansion in search of her friends; there were just as many ponies upstairs as there was down stairs. Twilight spotted a rainbow of colors tearing up the dance floor with Soarin from the Wonderbolts. She decided to let Rainbow Dash continue without bothering her; she spotted Applejack with Big Mac and trotted over to them. On her way towards them she spotted Fluttershy in the corner by herself.

“Come on Big Mac live a little go out and make some friends.”

“I told ya I’m just not that comfortable being in such a crowded place with all this music.”

“Come on get outside of your safe zone, you can’t not leave the farm you’re whole life now can ya?.”

“I don’t, I head to the market sometimes and I’m at this party right now aren’t I.”

“Yeah but that’s only to check on sales and bring the cart home and I had to drag ya here.”

“Hey Applejack. What’s up?”

“Howdy Twi, I’m just trying to get Big Mac out there so he can  go meet some ponies.”

“Well Fluttershy is sitting by herself you want to go talk to her.” Suggested Twilight

“Yeah Big Mac, go and talk to Fluttershy, unless you’re chicken.” Said Applejack with a grin on her face.

“I uh…I…I’m gonna get a drink.” Said Big Mac as he galloped down stairs to the bar

“What was that all about?” Asked Twilight

“Nothing, Mac has a crush on Fluttershy and I tease him a bit but it’s all in good fun.”

“That’s so adorable.”

“What can I get you friend?” Asked the bartender

“Whiskey, leave the bottle.” Responded Big Mac

“Sounds like you’re having some problems Big Mac.” Said Drake walking up and taking a seat next to the red pony.

“Eeyup.”

“A bit for your thoughts.”

“Just having some problems.” Said Big Mac after taking a large drink of whiskey.

“Mare problems?”

“Eeyup.”

“May I know who this pony is?”

“I don’t reckon you know her, but her name is Fluttershy.”

“Bartender a Dragon Fire special please, I’ve met her before she seems like a nice mare.”

“Eeyup.”

“Here’s your drink buddy.” Said the Bartender

“Thanks.” Drake pounded down his red-orange drink and left a couple of bits on the table.

“Hope it works out for you Mac.”

“Eeyup.”

“Banned from the training room!” Shouted Quick Silver As she punched the metal wall of the hallway living a small divot in it.

“It’s only three days; you need to learn to keep it under control in there.” Said Flash

“That’s bullshit, so what I accidentally knock somepony out; just give her time to wake up.”

“No, it’s the fact that you did it after she surrendered, also this is the second teammate you’ve injured in the past two weeks.”

“It was a split second thing she surrendered after I started my swing, and on top of that, who died and made you king of the training room.”

“Mentor Cobalt put me in charge of the training room while he is in Vanhoover, so until he gets back you’re going to have put up with being a bit less aggressive.”

“Mentor Cobalt is going to hear about this after he gets back.”

“Look I know your pissed Quick Silver, but I don’t want anyone getting too injured while Mentor Cobalt is away. Also you’ve hardly slept at all this past week.”

“How do you know that?”

“Because my room is near the training room, and I can here you practice in the middle of the night, it’s not up for debate Quick Silver just take a few days off”

“Fine.” Said Quick Silver scowling as she walked away.

Quick Silver stormed down the metal corridors to her quarters getting looks from some of her comrades. She opened the door to her room and slammed it shut as she walked over to her bed plopped and down on it. Everyone’s room in the facility was almost the same. Blue carpet, two beds, two dressers, a circular table, four chairs, white painted walls, and whatever personal accessories each pony wanted to add. Ivy was sitting at the table with a pot of soil, a glass of water, and a small wooden pony; she took a sip of the water and focused her magic on the pot. It started to glow and rumble, after it stopped a group of vines grew out grabbed the wooden pony and pulled it into the soil. The vines popped back out, and started to move around on their own; Ivy walked over and set the pot on her dresser and sat on her bed across from Quick Silver’s.

“So what’s got you pissed Quick Silver.”

“I got booted out of the training room for being too aggressive.”

“Bummer, well I’m about to go grab some dinner you want to join me?” Said Ivy whilst standing up

“Nah, I think I’m just going to go to bed.” Replied Quick Silver getting under her covers

“All right, I’ll try not to wake you on my way back in.”

Ivy walked out of the door and closed it joining some other ponies heading for the mess hall. As Quick Silver closed her eyes she fell asleep almost instantly not realizing how tired she truly was.

Drake spotted a lot cute mares for Scratch while on the bottom floor and he decided to check up stairs as well. Drake walked up stairs and looked around; he saw a few cute mares and took note of them. But one caught his eye; Fluttershy was sitting in the corner by herself obviously thinking about something with a drink next to her, Drake walked up and sat down next to her.

“Hey Fluttershy, why are you sitting in the corner all by your lonesome?”

“Oh hello Drake, No reason, I’m just not into big parties.”

“Are you sure that’s the only reason, it looks like you were thinking hard about something.”

“Well it’s nothing really, just thinking about this stallion and I’m trying to talk to him.”

“Well who is it? I may know him.” Said Drake having a feeling he knew where this was going

“Well it’s this big red pony named Big Macintosh.”

“I’ve meet him before, he seems like a nice stallion.”

“Yeah he is.”

“Well you’re not going to be able to talk to him by just sitting here.”

“I know…It’s just what if he doesn’t like me back.”

“Sometimes you just have to take chances Fluttershy.” Said Drake standing up

“I guess…”

“I hope it works out for you Fluttershy.” Said Drake as she stood up and walked away.

“Hey Applejack, Isn’t this party awesome?” Asked Rainbow Dash as she walked up to her friend with her dance partner

“I agree it’s quite the ho-down.” Applejack responded

“So I’m guessing you know Soarin.”

“What’s up.”

“You’re that one fellow from the Wonderbolts ain’t ya?”

“That I am, So Dash you ready to hit the dance floor again?”

“You know it; I’ll catch up with you later.” Said Dash as she and Soarin trotted back to the dance floor.

“Well she looks like she’s having a good time.” Said Twilight as she walked up to Applejack

“Yep, I’m going to go and find Big Mac see if I can get him to have some fun too.”

“Alright I’m going to go and talk to Fluttershy she looks a little down in the dumps.”

As Twilight walked towards Fluttershy she was stopped by somepony who she had never met before.

“Excuse me miss, I couldn’t help but notice you’re not being accompanied by anypony and I was wondering if you wanted to dance.” Said a very handsome orange pegasus with a dark blue mane.

“Well I was going to talk to my friend over there…”

“I’ve got this covered, hey do you mind keeping that pony company over there, thanks.” Said the pony as he turned to a friend of his.

The pony walked over and started to chat up Fluttershy, but she wasn’t paying much attention.

“Now that, that’s taken care of, would you like to accompany me to the dance floor?”

“Sure, but I have to warn you I’m an awesome dancer.”

Drake Walked back down the stairs and back to the DJ booth. He stepped past the guards who let him by, and walked up to Vinyl and tapped her on the back.

“Drake what’s up, did you find what I was looking for.” As she turned towards her wingman

“Yes I did, take a look at the bar. See those two ponies over by the bar.” Drake pointed to two ponies one light blue with a pink mane and the other pink with a light blue mane.

“Drake you are the bomb, not only have you scored extra points, but you spotted out twins. I think that may be some sort of score multiplier or something.”

“Alright, I’ll go talk to them and see if they will join you in the booth.” Said Drake leaving the DJ booth.

Drake walked over to the bar where the two ponies were at, the blue one looked pretty hammered while the pink just looked a bit tipsy. Drake took a seat right next to the blue pony and ordered an ice cube. The bartender looked at him funny and so did the two ponies sitting next to him, the bartender brought him the ice and placed it in front of him. Drake Immediately slammed his hoof on the ice cube smashing it into pieces; the two ponies looked at him confused.

“Do you two know why I did that?” Asked Drake turning to the ponies.

They both shook their heads no.

“I was just trying to break the Ice, hey my names Drake.”

The two ponies turned to each other and giggled at this cheesy pick up line.

“Hello Drake I’m Aloe and this is Lotus” Said the pink pony

“So can I get you two girls a drink?”

“Sure.” Responded the two ponies in unison.

“Barkeep, two of your most expensive drinks, so what are two goddesses like you doing here.”

“Oh we would never miss a party thrown by miss Pinkie Pie.” Said Lotus slurring a bit on top of her accent

“Plus it’s a good way to meet people.” Added Aloe

The Barkeeper levitated the drinks to the two ponies; Aloe took a few sips, while Lotus drank hers like there was no tomorrow.

“So are you two enjoying the party?”

“Yeah, the DJ is great.” Replied Aloe

“Well that’s nice because the DJ thinks you’re great to.”

“What do you mean?”

“She wants to talk to you two.”

“Us, but she’s famous.”

“What can I say, she likes the looks of you two.”

“Come on Lotus, the DJ wants to talk to us” Said the pink pony grabbing her blue sister

Drake watched as they trotted to the DJ booth in excitement. The bouncer didn’t let them by at first but then Vinyl walked up and told them to come on up. Drake levitated Aloe’s unfinished Drink and pointed it towards the DJ booth as he saw Vinyl point to him with a wide grin on her face. Drake finished off the drink and put a few more bits on the table, he looked to his left to see Big Mac talking to Applejack. A familiar pegasus approached and sat next to him and ordered a drink.

“It’s about time you made it to the party, what took you so long.”

“Dude have you seen those lines, I’m surprised I got in as early as I did.” Said Cloud Walker

“To bad you’re not a VIP such as myself.”

“Yeah to bad I’m not a very ignorant pony.”

“Funny, so when do you go back to Canterlot.”

“Tomorrow.”

“That sucks.”

Drake looked away from his friend and back to the party, he noticed a muscular orange pegasus and a two other ponies approaching on an intoxicated and scared Twilight Sparkle in the corner of the first floor.

“Shit, I’ll be right back.” Said Drake

Drake trotted over in that direction as Cloud Walker noticed he was the only pony at the bar, so he decided to trot after Drake.

“Come on, just come back to our hotel room, and we can have some fun all the cool ponies are doing it.”

Drake walked up to the group and poked the pegasus on the back, getting the attention of him and his two unicorn companions

“Is there a problem here?” Asked Drake

“There will be one if you don’t leave us alone” responded the Orange pegasus.

“I don’t want any trouble, just leave the mare alone and walk away.”

“Hey, do you guys here this, this pony is trying to save the damsel in distress.” They laughed at Drake for a second until another pony joined his side.

“Hey Drake what’s going on over here?” Asked Cloud Walker

“Look guys he brought reinforcements, you know what that means.” The unicorns levitated two small knives out of there shirt pockets.

“So do you guys think you’re big and bad enough to take us on?”

After he said this, Drake heard the familiar sound of bones being broken and the unicorn to his left was lifted off the ground and thrown over the other two. Both parties looked to where the unicorn once was, there stood a large red pony.

“Eeyup.”

As both parties were focused on the sudden appearance of the large pony Cloud Walker knocked the knife out of the other ponies hand and punched him in the jaw. The pony proceeded to fall to the ground, and Cloud Walker stomped on his stomach to make sure he didn’t get back up. The Orange pegasus looked to both of his fallen comrades and back at Drake.

“Oh how the tables have turned, so here are your options leave now, or get your ass kicked. What’s it gonna be?”

The orange pegasus galloped out of the mansion without even checking on his friends. Drake looked at the spot where Twilight was, and saw her there sitting on the ground almost in tears.

“Hey Twilight, how are you doing?”

“I…I thought he was interested in my brain not my body.” Said Twilight sobbing a bit.

“Don’t worry Twilight those guys were jerks, they’re gone now.”

“I want to go home; I’m not feeling so well.”

“Alright I’ll walk you home, hey guys thanks for the help but I’m going to make sure Twilight gets home alright.”

“Eeyup.”

“Also Big Mac, go for it. I have a feeling Fluttershy is into you, it’s just a hunch. See you later Cloud Walker.” Said Drake

before departing from his friend and leaving the party

Drake accompanied Twilight out of the mansion and down the street. It was maybe a little past eleven and a bunch more ponies showed up. He looked around the street and saw the same orange pegasus chatting up a familiar white unicorn. He walked up with Twilight her leaning on him for support; he poked the pony on the back and gave him an angry look.

“I thought I told you to get lost, you already forced yourself on one of my friends, and I’m not letting you do it again.” Said Drake as he gently sat Twilight on the ground

“I’m not afraid of you; it looks like your two friends are gone so how about we settle this like stallions.”

Right before they went after each other Rarity stood in between them and stopped them.

“Hold it; no need to act like barbarians, Drake what did this pony do to make you so angry?”

“He got Twilight drunk, and then he and his friends were forcing themselves on her.”

“I see…”Rarity pondered this for a second before promptly turning and knocking the orange pegasus’ lights out.

Drake just looked at Rarity like he was looking at a whole different pony.

“What, sometimes a lady has to stand her ground. Now you go and get Twilight home.”

“Right, I’ll see you later Rarity.” Said Drake helping Twilight back up

The door to the medical bay opened slowly as a silver pony walked in. The pony walked over to the bed where a badly injured pony lay, she sat down on the bed next to his and sighed. She sat there looking at him for about a minute or so before she got up and walked over to the injured pony.

“I’m so sorry, I should have looked for you when the shield broke. I’m just so stupid, when you get out of here I’ll be sure to help you whenever you need it..” Apologized Quick Silver as she put her hoof on his chest.

“I thought I heard somepony’s voice, I think visiting hours ended a while ago.” Said a voice coming from behind Quick Silver

“What do you want?”

“I just heard somepony walking down the hall and I was just making sure you weren’t heading to the training room.”

“Thanks for trusting me so much Flash.”

“No biggie. So how do you think he’s holding up?”

“He looks better, but He shouldn’t be in here. This is my entire fault, I should have…”

“Stop right there Quick Silver. This is not your fault, not a single one of us could have predicted the changelings were going to attack. You need to stop being so hard on yourself. You’re the best fighter we have; if you can’t stop putting the blame on yourself it’s going to hurt you in the future”

“Guys can you keep it down, I’m trying to sleep.” Said a voice weakly.

They both jumped at this and looked at the bed; they saw a grimace of pain on the face of the injured pony.

“You’re awake! Thank Celestia you’re okay!” Shouted Quick Silver as she hugged Shadow Stepper

“It’s good to see you to but, you’re hurting me.”

“Sorry” Said Quick Silver hopping off of him

“So he’s finally back among the living, it’s a hearth’s warming miracle.” Said Flash jokingly

“So how long was I out?”

“About four weeks.” Said Flash

This caught Shadow Stepper off guard as he sat there and pondered those words, until speaking again.

“I don’t remember much of what happened, but I’m glad I’m still alive, but can you guys leave. I’m still really tired.”

“Okay, we’ll leave. I’m just glad you’re alright.” Said Quick Silver

The two ponies walked out of the medical bay and into the hallway. The two ponies headed to their quarters staying completely silent on the way there. They finally reached Quick Silver’s room, Flash held open the door for Quick Silver as she stepped in.

“Get some rest Quick Silver; I’m looking forward to seeing you in the training room tomorrow.” Said Flash with a smile

“Nah, I think I’m going to take the day off and sleep in.” Said Quick Silver sluggishly.

Flash chuckled as he closed the door softly.

The door to the library flung open as Drake helped in an almost passed Twilight. Drake Walked in a bit and closed the door with his back leg, he brought twilight over to the couch and sat her down. He proceeded to walk into the kitchen and got a glass of water for himself, after he finished it he heard a loud thump from the other room. He walked in to see Twilight slumped over on the staircase; Drake just laughed a bit and walked over.

“Need some help there?”

“Yes please.”

"Told you you shouldn't have Drank my extra wine." Said Drake as he helped Twilight up the stairs.

"Well maybe you shouldn't have...gave it to me." retorted Twilight leaning against Drake for support

“Alright let’s get you in bed.” As they made it into the room

“Thanks Drake.”.

As they finally made it up the staircase Drake lead Twilight over to her bed and tucked her in. Drake started to walk back to his room, not before tripping over Spikes basket and falling on his face hitting the floor with a loud thump.

“Shit!” Exclaimed Drake as he hit the ground

“Hey Drake, you want to have a sleep over?” Asked Twilight

“Twilight, your drunk go to bed.” Replied Drake getting up in an irritated mood.

“Pleaaaaaaaaaaaase.”

“There aren’t any other beds down here.”

“Hold on I got this.” Said Twilight now sitting in her bed

Twilight’s horn started to glow bright and a ball of magic appeared on the other side of the room. Finally the ball disappeared and a bed appeared on the other side of the room.

“Tadaaaa.”

“Twilight I don’t think this will work.” Said Drake as he levitated the tiny bed into his hoof.

“Want me to try again?”

“How about I just grab my pillow and blanket from the attic.”

“Okay.”

Drake walked up to the attic and took of his button up and threw it on the floor. He levitated his pillow and blanket towards him and walked back down stairs, he laid his pillow on the floor and laid down putting his blanket on top of him. It was hard to get comfortable lying on a hard wood floor but after rolling around a bit he finally got as comfortable as he was going to get.

“Hey Drake, that floor doesn’t look comfortable.”

“It’s fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to share my bed with me?” Asked Twilight.

“It’s fine Twilight.”

“Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.”

“Twilight, you’re drunk go to bed.”

“…Goodnight Drake.”

“Goodnight.”

Drake awoke to the sound of the door the library closing shut, his eyes shooting open. He sat up and stretched out his back noticing that Twilight was gone, he looked at the clock and it read 10:33 AM. Drake stomach started to rumble very loudly as he stood up out of his makeshift bed. He felt something on his horn he levitated it off and gave it a look. It was a note from Twilight.

Hey Drake thanks for taking care of me, I know I was pretty drunk and annoying but thanks for not taking advantage of me. If you get up before Spike gets here, he’ll be back around 10:30. Thanks again.

Drake chuckled before his stomach gave another loud rumble.

‘I guess alcohol wasn’t the best dinner in the world.’ Thought Drake as he made his way to the stairs

Drake walked down the steps into the main room of the library, he saw spike sitting down and having a glass of water unpacking his backpack.

“Hey Spike, how are ya?”

“Drake I’m doing super-duper incredibly awesome.” Said the excited dragon whilst turning to Drake.

“I’m guessing your sleepover with those three fillies went over well.”

“You don’t even know.”

“Glad to hear it. How about you tell me why you’re doing so super-duper incredibly awesome at the kitchen table so I can know, I was just about to make myself some eggs.” Said Drake as he made his way towards the kitchen

“Okay.” Responded Spike as he hopped off the couch.

“So you want some too. Or have you already eaten?” Said Drake as he entered the kitchen

“Some scrambled eggs sound good right about now, it will be a nice change of pace having someone make breakfast for me.” Said Spike following Drake in to the kitchen.

“Well we were at the club house and well we had a book of games, so we decided to pick a random page and play whatever game was there.” Said Spike Scarfing down a mouthful of eggs

“Go on.” Said Drake as he took a bite of his eggs

“Alright so we landed on this game called spin the bottle, I’ve never heard of it before but it sounded like a pretty simple game. Then we read it, now I was on board to play and so was Scootaloo who was calling Applebloom and Sweetie Belle chickens. So being the gentledragon I am I sided with the damsels in distress and suggested we pick a different game. The next game we played was called twenty one questions, it was an alright game.” Said Spike before placing another big thing of eggs in his mouth.

“Alright so you saved the damsels from the evil monster kissing, then you played twenty one questions. What happened next?”

“Well it was getting pretty late and we all decided to get some sleep, we took out all of our sleeping bags and pillows except Sweetie Belle forgot hers.”

The expression on Drakes face was practically screaming “I know where this story is heading.” As a grin that would have rivaled one of Pinkie Pie’s was plastered across his face.

“After trying to squeeze in and share a sleeping bag with Scootaloo and Applebloom, Applebloom offered to run back to the house and get her one. But Sweetie Belle insisted that it was fine and said she could just sleep with a pillow and she didn’t need a sleeping bag, until I stated that my sleeping bag was pretty big and that two ponies could probably fit inside of it. Scootaloo laughed and said she couldn’t do that because I was a boy and gave some stupid reason behind that statement, but Sweetie didn’t really care she told Scootaloo that it was fine. So we were pressed together a bit but she fit in and we shared a sleeping bag, and when I woke up her arm was wrapped around me.” Said Spike as he finished of his eggs grinning like a maniac

“Way to go Spike.” Said Drake enthusiastically before finishing of his eggs as well.

“That’s not even the best part, when we woke up and I tried to get out she wrapped around me even tighter. I just decided to lay there until she got up. Then once it was time for us to go, she gave me a kiss on the cheek and thanked me for everything.” Said Spike as he looked back on the moment fondly.

“Spike you’re turning into a regular Casanova.” Said Drake extending a hoof out to spike

“Thanks Drake.” As Spike balled up his claw and bumped Drake’s hoof with it.

“Now follow me to the living room, I have some more tricks of the trade to go over with you.” Said Drake as he walked into the living room.

“Right behind you oh wise one.”  Said Spike jumping off his chair and quickly following Drake.
