Raising My Own

Spike was glad that his first week being Diamond Tiara's servant was passed, but he was angry that he couldn't have fun because he was still grounded. That morning on his way to Diamond's house he ran into Skew, the latter went on about how he wanted to do some vile things with Diamond Tiara. He also flipped open the saddlebag he was wearing and showed some magazines that were wrapped in brown paper. "Meet up by the school this evening when you're done being Diamond Tiara's slave and I'll show you what I got."

"Deal," Spike said as they parted ways. Diamond Tiara had been bored, Spike took note that Diamond was treating him worse and Silverspoon was getting a tad nicer. The day was spent playing board games and a forced tea party. As the evening drew nigh, Spike took his leave but Diamond Tiara gave him a light hug. Struggling hit off mentally he hugged back, he hurried to the school where he met up Skew. As promised Skew showed him the magazines, the content at first made Spike feel like what they were doing was wrong but he enjoyed the raunchy pictures.

When he got home he lied to Twilight on why he was late for dinner. Granted his lie was a half-lie, he had indeed stopped at the school but he lied about playing on the swings. Monday rolled around and Spike had when Twilight was distracted swiped a few bits to buy a magazine of his own. Skew had during lunch slipped a magazine into Spike's bag and took the bits. Spike went home, he saw that nopony was home so he settled to enjoy his new purchase. Over the week, he began to objectify the other sex. The fillies at school and young mares alike he wanted to try a few things with them. He didn't dare because he was afraid that his mother would find out soon enough.

The week ended and he was now free! He joined Pip and his other friends for a rousing game of capture the flag. At one point as Spike leaped to tackle a filly he liked she felt against his own body but quickly released when he realized who he tackled. Sweetie Belle felt disturbed and awkward and she left the game and taking Scootaloo and Applebloom with her.

Meanwhile

Twilight was cleaning the house with her mother and as she was cleaning Spike's room and trying to figure how she spent a hundred fifty bits and not record it was bugging her. She moved some of Spike's books that she stacked on his nightstand she found his stash of raunchy content. She levitated it to the kitchen and waited. As she waited, Rarity dropped by. "Twilight darling, Sweetie Belle just told me that your Spike had his claws and arms around her uncomfortably and inappropriately and............" Her voice trailed off as she saw the stack of magazines.

"I don't know where I went wrong and how? I try to filter his reading content and I think I know where my hundred and fifty bits went.................and I'm looking at it."

"Maybe Shining Armor could talk to him? Or your father? I'm sure they must have struggled in this way...........we females don't make it easy for them..........that's why I'm careful in what I design. I'm sure you'll figure it out, maybe you can talk to your mother as well?"

"Thanks, Rarity" Twilight wept for a solid hour, how did she miss this red flag? Spike, she had overheard use a raunchy term to describe a mare she knew in town; she was gonna try not to yell at him.
When Spike got home he froze as he realized he was so in trouble again.

"Spike................where and how did you acquire this porn? Somepony give it to you? Have you been stealing bits from me to buy these?" Spike stood silently and then sat down.

"I don't see what the big deal is? It doesn't hurt anypony."

"It is a big deal Spike some these girls most likely are forced into this lifestyle.............stuff like this is never a victimless thing. I also want you to know Rarity told me about what transpired between you and Sweetie Belle. Spike, I'm frankly shocked and horrified to find this and hear about your actions. Tell me who introduced this rubbish to you? This is important Spike because they'll drag others down as we." Spike didn't want to rat Skew out but he wanted to save his hide. So he decided to blame Rumble's sport-jock brother Thunderlane.

"Thunderlane showed me some and said I needed to buy my own to be considered cool."

"Spike I think you're lying to me, so for now sit in your room, and my dad will keep an eye on you while I go and talk to this Thunderlane."

Three hours past and Twilight stormed into Spike's room and couldn't help but tell, "Spike how could you lie to me! I demand you tell me who introduced you to this! At this moment I have four police ponies ready to arrest you for committing inappropriate contact!"

At this point, Spike began to feel the shame of his actions of the past week. He broke down and named Skew as his source and he felt like trash now. The police left to arrest Skew for possession and distribution of the material. Twilight tried to comfort Spike with a gentle hug as he wept, but he pushed her away and faced the wall.

Over the next few days, Spike didn't eat barely slept. Spike would Twilight discovered one night would sleep on the floor atop a stone slab he snuck into the house. She wondered where he was before coming home from school. Five weeks past and he handed her a canvas bag from under his mattress. When she opened it she counted out exactly a hundred and fifty bits. She was touched that he paid or all back and learned that he been working a job to earn the bits to pay for what he stole from her.
