Spike stands in front of the full length mirror as he flexes his muscles. His slim body reflects back at him as it drips water from the shower he'd just taken. Looking at the mirror the purple drake gets an idea, he read somewhere that dragons can send themselves to locations using their fire, but he was always afraid to try it. But now that he's older, he decides to give it a whirl.

Going to the library Spike opens a book written by Y. Vern about his ability to read up on it. The tome reads.

While it is possible for a dragon to use his fire to send him from place to place, it is dangerous and shouldn't be used more than three times a week unless in dire circumstances. The exposure to their fire can damage their scales to where they are no longer fireproof, and must refrain from bathing or using their fire for a week.

'Hmmmm, interesting.' Spike thought to himself as he read through the book, unaware Twilight was behind him.

"Oh, pigs must be flying." The ruler of Equestria said as Spike jumped a bit.

"Oh. Morning, Twilight. I was just reading up on my fire transport ability." Spike said as he closed the book.

"Oh really? Anything interesting about it and is there a reason why you are?" Twilight asked as she ruffled Spike's scales.

"Here, you can read it yourself when you have the time." Spike handed the book to Twilight before he continued. "As for the reason, I want to give Ember a visit, I haven't seen her in a while." Spike said getting ready to use his ability, only to be interrupted by Twilight.

"Just be careful, Spike. It's been years since you've seen her, she may have grown quite a bit." The purple alicorn cautioned Spike.

"I know, and I will, thanks mom." Spike said blushing, he hardly calls Twilight mom, but has slowly become accustomed to it, but still calls her by name from time to time.

"Awww, you're welcome my baby boy." Twilight teased causing Spike to blush.

Spike cleared his throat before continuing. "Besides, she was like over half my size, it's not like she'll be the size of her father." Spike said, unaware of how wrong he was.

"Just be careful, if she's big you could accidentally wind up inside her, like you did with me after you drank that shrinking potion I was working on." Twilight said, causing Spike to blush.

Spike remembers that incident, he drank a shrinking potion thinking it was soda. He shrunk down to about an inch. He tried to get Twilight's attention by standing on her chair, thinking she'd look before sitting, unfortunately he was wrong and was met by the sight of Twilight's gigantic ass as she sat down. He was forced into her ponut as she let out a subtle moan. He spent hours in there all the while Twilight had no idea he was in there. It wasn't until Twilight farted, the force of which rocketed him out.

"Spike..SPIKE?!" Twilight shouted, bringing Spike back to earth.

"Huh?" Spike jumped a bit at the sudden yell as he looked at Twilight.

"Did you hear me, I said be careful if she is big." Twilight reiterated as she kissed Spike on the cheek.

Spike blushed as he hugged Twilight. "Don't worry, I'll be careful. I'd hate to make you worry." Spike said as Twilight left.

Spike then went to the gardens, Celestia had left all the animals and plants she took care of here for Twilight to enjoy, Fluttershy often comes by to take care of them because of her being more experienced. Spike caught a glimpse of Fluttershy, but figured she was busy and decided to talk to her later. Twilight's friends often came and visited if they had the time, Spike remembers Rainbow's wedding to a tee, she married Soarin and was the one to pop the question, Twilight actually officiated the ceremony right here, so it obviously holds tons of memories, so Spike looks for a rock to use, so not to burn anything.

Spike found the perfect stones to use and stood atop of them so as to not burn anything, he closed his eyes in concentration and took deep steady breaths. He visualized where he wanted to go and the Dragon Lands popped in his mind. He opened his eyes and started to blow fire on himself. As he blew fire onto himself, he couldn't help, but blush at the memory of being inside Twilight. He kinda enjoyed the warmth as the fire he blew was starting at his feet, he felt the slight burn as he ignited himself, the fire slowly enveloping him as he laid down flat and let his fire climb up his body. and he was whisked away into the wind, the rock he was on wasn't chared at all as the last of Spike left.

What would normally take a day only took a couple of seconds as he slowly reassembled in the Dragon Lands. Spike looked up at the sky as the rest of his body formed. The sun shone down on Spike, warming him up as his body finished forming. Standing up, Spike felt a little dizzy, a side effect from a living being being transported this way. He sat down for a second to let his dizzy spell ride out. The Dragon Lands were about the same, but now since Twilight ascended to the throne, dragons and ponies got along better, the dragons got their pillows and a few extra luxuries like houses built to accommodate the size of the dragon who lived there, running water, and electricity.

After a few seconds, Spike got up again, his dizzy spell subsiding and his head clear. feeling much better Spike started walking looking for where Ember's house stood. But upon walking deeper in the now bustling community Spike felt small tremors as a giant shadow hovered over him.
