Spike and her girls were hard at work cleaning up the two train cars they had been traveling in, Spike was in the front most of the two, sitting back with a less than hot cup of coffee as she watched her new toy clean on her behalf. Spike had wanted to help in the clean-up, but her two maids, one guard, two theater buffs, and two loyal worshipers, had all immediately shut the idea of Spike doing manual labor of any kind down.

Spike had accepted this without argument and had instead taken a seat in one of the booths and looked out the window with Autumn, who had been too excited about the prospect of seeing snow to do anything other than making more of a mess as she kept her eyes pinned on the nearest window to try and see the exact moment when the fields of endless snow would come into view. After busting her own lip with a broom Summer and Red had tasked Autumn with sitting with Spike to make her feel loved, Spike had decided that looking out the window to try and catch a glips at some snow was the best way to feel loved and Autumn had obliged immediately.

Autumn had her face smushed up to the glass as Spike sipped her drink and looked out at the window at the tree line that boarded the Galloping gorge.

"We're still at least twenty minutes away from seeing any snowfall," Spike informed Autumn calmly before taking another sip, using the time to practice a bit of god magic, Spike made a face and lightly shook her drink "I just want peppermint," She murmured as she used her powers to change to taste of her drink and willed it to be filled back to the top, Spike shook her head as her drink filled past the brim and she was coated in boiling hot liquids. Spike waved her hands and she was clean of liquid, she was once again disappointed when she found that doing so completely drained her drink away.

"Why is being a Goddess so hard," Spike groaned, after a moment she shook her mug and filled it just barely to the halfway mark with a drink so cold Spike could feel the chill through the mug, and after a sip immediately spat the liquid out "Vinegar," She cried out as she threw the cup and fell into a fit of coughing, next to her stood her toy, who was now dripping in the freezing liquid, similar to the Gardener the Toy had been denied any clothing, the nude mare shivered and had a visible bruise from were Spikes cup had hit her arm.

"Go to the bathroom and use the sink to wash yourself off," Spike demanded of her "And give me my cup back," The Toy handed Spike her mug and marched to the back carriage to wash herself off.

"I'd almost feel bad," Autumn said without looking away from the window "But she stabbed Ash for shits and giggles so my sympathy pool is exceptionally shallow,"

"I have loads of sympathy, but once I lose my patience with someone they're unlikely to be seen again" Spike noted to Autumn as she went back to trying to use her powers to give herself a tasty cup of coffee. With Spike focused on her coffee and Autumn pressing her nose against the glass again the two drifted into silence as they both focused on their respective projects.

In the last train car Red and Blue were cleaning up the room that had originally been used for Ashes recovery and had quickly fallen into use as their temporary orgy den, Spike and her girls had quickly discovered the bed could only hold four at them at max, and even that number was snug as the fourth girl could only fit halfway onto the bed. While the group had been determined to make the bed work a little over an hour after Spike had brought her new toy in for some more kinky experimentation the bed had ended up breaking under what the girls had collectively decided to refer to as Spike's Enthusiasm.

"I hope the Crystal Empire has larger beds," Red Murmered irritably as she finished unmaking the broken bed and Handed Blue the folded-up sheet to add to the pile, Both Red and Blue had very quickly decided that since Spike had given them her love atop the bedding they would lay claim to it to avoid letting any other creature touch her love even in the most indirect of ways.

"I hope they at least have a bed that can handle our dear Love's unrelenting Enthusiasm," Blue wished aloud as she placed the sheet atop the pile, "Alright comforter, small top blanket, three Pillows, Under Sheets and over Sheets," Blue nodded "Alright let's go ask out beloved to open the storage room and toss these inside it," Red and Blue picked up their bounty and headed off to ask Spike if they could please keep them. Ash and Smoke watched the two go, the small table outside their room had been turned into a waiting room of sorts where the girls could read one of their books while Spikes entertained whoever's turn it was, the waiting room had gotten more use during the hour Spike had attempted to fix the bed only to end up abandoned when Spike had crushed one of her fingers and had immediately been swooned over as though she had been run through with a sword.

"Smoke I found your copy of Folklore from the Garden," Ash called out as she put the book into Smoke's section of the shelf, the two had stolen a small shelf from the room and were using it to organize books as best they could.

"I found a copy of Peace, War, and Peace again," Smoke noted "I'm betting it's Summer's, what say you?"

"I'm not taking that one," Ash decided "Oh, The Lone Travels Guide to the Sea," Ash looked at the back and forward "I dunno who this is but I'm gonna have to ask to borrow it, I love me a good book about the ocean," Having no more books to sort through the two sisters followed Red and Blue's lead and took their stolen shelf to be stored away in Spikes Interdimensional Pocket.

Solar stood guard at the entrance to the front of most of the two train cars with Summer, who had been tasked with cleaning up anything sticky left behind by. She had been discharged when Red and Blue had decided to just take the entire Bedspread and was now playing chess with Solar, with a mildly infuriating result.

"My Kind takes your pawn," Summer said irritably "and now we both only have kings left...again," Summer groaned at her inability to beat Solar, and Solar seemed visibly agitated at her own inability to do the same with Summer,"

"Rematch," They both challenged instantly, Solar now simply leaning all her weight against to inward swinging door to keep anypony from opening it, the two heard Spike laugh and looked up momentarily as they saw Spike wheezing as she was presented with the stolen goods.

"Why not?" She decided as she opened the door to her storage room "Fuck it, let's take the mattress to, that way I can stuff the Toy into storage and make her look at the bed as she sleeps standing up," The Four little thieves all cheered as their crimes where rewarded.

"Oh yeah," Summer nodded "That's gonna cause trouble eventually, maybe not right now, but I'm betting one of them is gonna steal something with the intent to give it to Spike and cause a hell of a problem,"

"I'm not stupid enough to take that bet," Solar retorted as she moved her pawn first.

"I Can See it," Autumn Squealed out with Glee "I can see bountiful mountains of White!"

The rhythmic sound of the tracks harshly shifted in tone as they hit the frozen rails that would lead them to the Empire, Cadance ignored it as she reassured the Guard ponies that there was nothing she could do about it if Spike turned them into woman and used them as toys. With the Guards or at least a very small number of them, demanding to be shipped out to Canterlot and or any other part of Equestria Cadance had instructed Shinning to ship those who requested it to wherever he wanted to so as to avoid them starting a panic and or making an attempt to get Spike before she got them.

Cadance made her way to her personal Train car and checked in on her sleeping guest, things went from bad to worse as she found the bed empty, and the instrument of her headaches looking out the window at the fields of snow.

"I'm assuming Spike has been detained them?" Twilight asked calmly as she looked out at the bleak empty whiteness.

"She's on board with her Harem," Cadance said with a groan.

"Smart," Twilight turned "Take me to them, I only need a few minutes to get them to tell me how to undo their curse,"

"Twilight," Cadance said calmly "I'm sorry I have to say this to you, I really am, But you can't go near Spike, Things are dicey and I'm trying to avoid a war,"

"Cadance don't make me laugh," Twilight chuckled "There powerful I'll give them that, but with me, you, and Celestia and Luna once I call on them, along with Starswirl, the Pillars, and the rest of the elements, I estimate we'll only need to take out maybe a hundred or so Kirins before they surrender, we remove Rainshine from power, and the Kirin Empire and it's a new, better-suited leader, becomes allied with Equestria,"

"Oh I really wish I didn't have to say what I'm about to say," Candace said before taking a deep breath "Twilight if you start a War with the Kirins, then on my word as Leader of the Crystal Empire, I will not side with you, in fact, I will lead my support to the Kirins," The look on Twilights face told Cadance everything she needs to know and she took a step back. "And as we are on the Sovern grounds of the Empire you are not permitted to be within twenty paces of Spike, nor are you permitted to touch her with magic,"

"Where's Shining?" Twilight demanded.

"In the Dog house," Cadance retorted calmly "Twilight, Spike has been nothing but kind and patient with you, but as of this moment I won't be, if you make an advance to try and do anything to Spike, I will Retaliate, and I will do so heavily," Twilight made a face, a face that brought only concern to Cadance, a Face filled with planning,"

"Very well then," Twilight decided "Let's see how Thorax and Ember take this then? Oh but don't worry, Equestria won't involve itself in your war," Twilight teleported away and Cadance took a deep breath.

"She is going to be the death of me," She cried out as she flopped onto her bed before lighting her horns "Shining your sister is awake and has flown the coup, she's going to tell Spike's Friends what I can only assume will be a warped and messy story that probably won't include any of what actually happened to Spike, Tell all Unicorn Guards on board to teleport ahead and have Spike and her girls moved from the back to my personal train car so I can make sure none of her girls are harmed," Cadance dropped the spell without waiting to hear Shinings response and gently placed a Pillow over her face before screaming her frustrations into it.

Spike chuckled as she watched her toy make the bed in her pocket dimension before standing in the corner, Spike gave them a salute and shut the portal. Spike had just made the door disappear when the door to their compartment was opened by Solar and Shining was allowed to walk in, Spike got the gist of what was happening by his face alone.

"Oh boy," Spike sighed "The beast has awoken hu? go on then, tell me what Twilight is doing or has already done,"

"I can't at this moment," Shining said simply "It'll piss you off and you might blow up the train, for now, you're being moved to Cadance's personal Train car with all your girls in order to keep Twilight from getting a jump on us, most of the guards have been sent ahead to the empire with teleportation, I'll be joining them once I get you to the room,"

"Welp we just finished packing up," Spike declared proudly "Come on girls, time to move out, my sister is awake and she's completely crazy," Spike had her girls line up behind Shining and took up the rear, "Goodbye train car," Spike said as her girls followed shining and left her alone "thanks for the mattress," Spike saluted before shutting the door behind her.
