The Girls looked down at the fire and stared at it. All but Twilight and Rainbow. While rainbow's face lit up in excitement, Twilight's remained neutral. She knew what Spike did and just, casually walked inside the circle. "Spike darling, what is the meaning of this...this-uhhhh...uh hmmm...

"Circle Of Hellfire," Rainbow said excitedly, Scaring Fluttershy.

"One. It's not Hellfire, and Two, It's a long-range teleportation spell Twilight and I developed a couple of weeks ago. If twilight ever ran out of magic, I thought I could help her out somehow. So, I asked if it was possible to change the messenger spell." Spike replied.

"Why can we just have Twilight teleport us there? Or maybe take the train?" Fluttershy said griping to rarity as she stared at the fire.

"What she said." Rarity replied while patting her head like a puppy to calm her down.

Teleporting all of us to Canterlot would be taxing on me and this is faster. And, will provide some experience for spike with teleporting other people to different places. Not just myself." She finished.

"So you tested this already?" Aj asked.

"We sure did. And, after a Bunch of research, note-taking, and experiments, we found out that Spike can use his natural draconian essence to cast magic. He's the first dragon in history to use magic like this. I already sent my findings to the Princess. It's not just his fire either, It can be his saliva, bathwater, or his" Spike shot Twilight a heavy glare as the girls' focus was on Twilight, almost screaming (Don't u DARE). AJ, noticing Twilight's gaze, looked over to spike who almost immediately turned to the right. Avoiding eye contact with the element of honesty, sporting a heavy blush.

"You know what let's forget that last one." She said fast after seeing spikes glare and heavy blush.

"Why?" Pinkie said

"Because it's...a little bit gross." She said nervously.

Rarity gagged, looking like she was going to vomit. "I don't wanna hear anymore. Let's just go already." Rarity said as she jumped inside. Applejack did the same, holding Fluttershy bridal style. Pinkie was playing with the fire and suddenly grabbed a bag of marshmallows out of her hair. Rainbow flew inside and stood next to twilight.

"And you were planning on telling us you could use magic when?" AJ asked. He said.

"Eventually,...I was gonna surprise you guys the next time all of us were leaving ponyville together."

"Heeeyyy, How come it's not burning?" Pinkie questioned with disappointment in her voice, staring at her marshmallow.

"Well, when spike cast a spell using his fire, we found out it doesn't make heat. When it does, the fire will turn orange." Twilight said.

"Alright, Enough nerd talk, let's get going already." Rainbow now wants to get on with her day after having to listen to everyone else blab on and on.

"OK, rude. Spike start her up." Twilight asked.
As the fire started up and spike eyes began to slightly glow, rarity looked at him and grabbed his arm, firmly holding it between her impressive cleavage. Spike began to blush heavily again in order to distract rarity from his face.

"What, I'm not wearing my Saturday Be-

(FLASH)

Princess Celestia what currently sitting at a table surrounded by Nobles and businessmen/women of Canterlot. Being the ruler of all means a lot of responsibility to bear. One was attending boring meetings. Having a poker face came in handy for situations like this one.

(Why in my own name must I have to attend these things Nearly every single day. I swear the only time I ever get to have to myself is, Ironically when I'm Sleeping or when my son was here.)

Her mind suddenly shifted to all of the fun times [not to mention free time] she had while Spike was still living at the castle. She thought of all the times when they would play hide-and-seek, go out to fun private events and eat dinner together, talking about anything that came to mind. And, the best memories were at night when she would read spike a story and watch him fall asleep before leaving the room.

Of course, there were other good memories, like the pranks that she would secretly pull with him on the royal staff, using her magic to tie the shoelaces together on the butlers, Switching the mineral water out with scentless vinegar, and of course the classic banana peel slip. Celestia lightly chuckled at the memory.

"Princess, are you alright." One mare asked with concern.

"I'm fine why do you ask?" Celestia only now shacking back to reality.

"Well, when the duke said that his mother came down with Lymphoma last month, you started laughing. She's been in the hospital." The mare said with all of the room staring at her. The Duke frowned greatly.

Now realizing that time didn't stop during her flashback, she quickly thought of an excuse.

"Well, I was just, uh, happy to hear that she's getting treatment. If you would like, I can have one of my personal Physicians look after her for you when she's released." Celestia stated.

The room turned over to the Duke now smiling almost as big a pinkie does when she sees cupcakes. "Why, that's so very kind of you, Princess. It would mean the world to me."

"Then consider it..."

Suddenly, Celestia felt a familiar presence floating around her Castle.

"Done...Consider it done." She said trying to finish her earlier statement.

"Um, if you all would excuse me for just a moment, I believe I have something else that needs attending to."

She quickly stood up and walked towards the door telling everyone to continue without her. As soon as she reached to door, however, her entire demeanor changed. U see, Celestia really loves her son. So much so, that it's almost Scary. While she does "technically" consider all inhabitants of equestrian to be her children, it's plainly obvious that she cares about her adopted son heavily. With her eyes filled with joy and her wings tingling in delight, she raced down the hallways and corridors, not caring who was looking. Completely forgetting that she could teleport. Within seconds, she found herself in the royal garden, looking for the presence she picked up.

She turned to the pond and saw light appearing above the water. With a quick flash, Spike and the rest of the main 6 were floating over the pond...just before dropping into the said pond. With a small yelp from them all, they found themselves covered in muck.

"Is everybody OK," AJ asked.

"NO. My hair is completely RUINED." Rarity said while sobbing.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH, U GUYS SHOULD SEE URSELF'S RIGHT NOW."(snort) Rainbow said as she just casually flew above them.

"Never before have I ever been so happy to have wings, Cause this view is Priceless." (rainbow laugh track)

Suddenly, Rainbow felt her wings buckle and collapsed into the pond. Everyone watch and laughed at what had happened.

"Ur right, the view is priceless." Pinkie said while chucking.

"Not cool using magic on my wings Rares."

"It wasn't me although it should have been." she bit back

Rainbow turned her attention to twilight who was picking algae from her hair.

"What? I wouldn't do that. Well, not just now anyway."

"Well, one of you did."

"That would be my fault. I thought it would be funny." All eyes diverted to Celestia who stood next to the pond. As if by instinct, everyone stood up and bowed before Celestia. Celestia cast a spell removing them from the water and dried them off. Her eyes transitioned to spike.

"My son," she said getting teary. She ran over to Spike and hugged him, slightly pushing the girls out of the way.

"It's so good to see you again. How have u been? Are you eating well? Did u sleep enough? Are you making more friends? Are u hoarding again? Are having any "urges" as we talked about? Are you starting a harem with the girls? (GASP) AM I A Grandmother? Are you...

"Ma Pls Stop." Spike's face is now flushed with red from those questions. The girls giggled and chuckled at him. Everyone but Fluttershy, who heard the harem part, blushed even harder than spike.

"Mother, we need to talk." spike said.

"Of course we do. It's been ages since you visited me." She replied.

"It's only been a month. Anyways, I came here to talk to you about the upcoming speech that I have to give," he stated, slightly annoying Celestia, as she thought he came here to catch up and not to ask a question.

"Well, you're spending the night since you're here, as will the rest of you. I'll arrange some rooms to fit your needs."

Before anybody could protest the idea of staying, Celestia teleported the girls into the royal dining room.

Leaving her and spike in the garden. They walked to a bench and took a seat as spike told Celestia about his dilemma.

"Well, the reason for that is because...well, your you." She said to spike with a smile.

"Can you not speak in riddles." He replied with annoyance.

"Oh, but I'm not. You see, apart from my sister and me, you are the only other being in existence to have such a close connection to the Elements of harmony. Although not with the actual elements themselves like us, but with the Current bearers. You have befriended them and have formed a deep bond with them. You learned from them and in doing so, learned the true meaning of their elements and the meaning of friendship. In a way, you possess all of them. Knowing this, I thought it be best that you give the speech."

She finished. Spike let out a sigh of relief saying thanks. "You know, for a second I thought I was picked because I was your son."

"Oh, it was also that too," she said. Spike's face changed as she said those words.

Slightly enraged and disappointed he said "Mother, we talked about this. You can't play with power in order to spoil me." Celestia crossed her arms.

"I can promise you that I didn't just do that because you're my son, the image of your face is well known throughout equestrian. From the Dragon lands to the Crystal Empire. Along with the new changeling empire, plus you are THE Friendship Ambassador. If the rest of Equestria was to see you, the son of an Alicorn & #1 assistant to the Princess of Friendship giving the speech, It would surely spread a positive notion throughout all of Equestria." She finished.

He backed off her case and humbly apologized for assuming the worst.

"Do you...think I can stay here with you then? At least until I have to give the speech? I'm still a little nervous about the whole thing." he asked.

She grew a large grin and stared at spike, making him gulp at nothing

With Sass in her voice, she said "Oh ho ho, you were going to stay even if you didn't ask. You can't just pop in here, ask a question and then leave right afterward. Plus, with you here, I have a genuine reason to ignore, I'm mean to postpone my current meeting and I get to spend time with you."

This was going to be a long week.

Author's Note

I always liked the idea of Spike officially being recognized as royalty and Celestia being an Over-loving mother. So, I'm going with that as my canon.
