Word traveled fast it had only been a day or two after the incident but all over the news and in the papers it was the same thing.

‘Noblemen Blueblood arrested for first degree murder and assault’ many of the headlines had read or in the case of the more Elitist favorable newscasts it read ‘Blueblood framed by dragon,.

The last one pissed Spike off to no end but he brushed it to the back of his mind, in the end Blueblood was convicted for the assault charges but he couldn’t be connected to the poor pegasus girls death as easily.

“The one downside to this ability so far is I literally ate the evidence.”Spike thought with a sigh while buttoning up his boots”I have other things to focus on, Blueblood said he had associates in C.U if I want more answers to all this I’m gonna have to suck it up and go to college…god fucking dammit.”he mentally sighed before standing up.

“You sure you wanna do this kid? You did make it pretty clear you didn’t wanna go.”DragonHeart spoke up materializing next to his user.

“At this point I don’t have a choice.”Spike said before turning his pointer and middle finger into the stand arrow”I need more answers about this thing and the bastard Blueblood said it himself.”opening the door to his room Spike stepped out and quickly reverted his fingers back”If I want answers to all this I need to go to C.U and get the info I need.”Spike informed DragonHeart who remained silent for a moment before vanishing.

Spike let out a sigh adjusting his hat before walking down the hall choosing not to giving his vacant room a last look instead choosing to move forward before making his way down the stairs.

“Yo sis I’m ready-“Spike began as he reached the bottom of the steps only for him to instantly find himself in the arms of his mother”Gah! mom?!”Spike said in surprise seeing his mother.

“Oh my baby boy! i was so worried this day would never come but now you’re off to C.U it feels like it was just yesterday I was bottle feeding you!”Velvet whimpered smothering her son in a tight embrace”You’re growing up so fast!”she practically was bawling at this point while Spike was really glad none of his friends could see this.

“Mom seriously you’re gonna crush Spike if you don’t let go.”Twilight’s voice cut in from the other side of the room making Spike crane his neck to the side to look past his mother to see his sibling standing there taking a few photos of the touching scene with her phone”I can’t take Spike to C.U with you latching onto him.”she chuckled.

“Right S-sorry about that honey.”Velvet sniffled before letting her son go taking a moment to look him over one last time with a smile”It feels like just yesterday you where learning to walk, and now look at you all grown up and off to college.”she sighed drying her tears with her sleeve.

Seeing this Spike didn’t hesitate to bring his mother into another hug this one being less of a death grip then the previous hug”I love you mom don’t cry I’m only gonna be on the other side of town, and I’ll still come visit when I can.”he promised her patting his mother on the back.

“I know sweetie…ugh your father and brother should be here to see you off.”Velvet sighed before Twilight chimed in.

“You know Dad, always burning the candle at both ends.”Twilight reminded”And Shinning is…making sure certain things are taken care of.”She trailed off.

“Please tell me he’s making sure that horrible man stays behind bars.”Velvet said her tone becoming cold and emotionless when bringing up ‘that man’ who Spike knew could only be Blueblood.

“We can only hope.”Twilight said before walking over placing a hand on Spike’s shoulder”you ready?”she asked.

Spike took a deep breath, there was no going back at this point C.U was his destination for answers”Yes.”he said with a nod”I’m ready.”he told her before turning to his mother”I love you mom I’ll call you later once I’m settled in.”he smiled.

Velvet gave a nod a proud smile gracing her lips”I love you too Spike, be safe.”she told him.

With that final set of words Spikes vision became flooded by a purple flash of light letting him know Twilight had activated her teleportation spell and like that the two siblings where gone.

-

Canterlot University formerly known as Celestia’s school for gifted Unicorns was a massive place almost like a castle in its own right and it was renamed roughly ten years ago to be an all inclusive school, at least on paper that is while C.U had more non-unicorn students the majority of the student body where still Ponies, one could only spot a few Griffons, Yaks, Hippogriffs and a few changelings…granted there was a chance most of them where hiding themselves with their magic.

And sadly the smallest minority of the student body seemed to be Dragons much to Spikes dismay once he and Twilight teleported in he did his best to ignore the uncomfortable looks a few ponies sent his way while his sister lead him across the courtyard.

“Sorry I couldn’t teleport us right to your room.”Twilight said walking besides her brother”I figured you would want to take in the full sight of the place and make a good first impression.”she smiled.

“Well I’d say we made a first impression of some kind.”Spike muttered glancing over to his right just as a sneering noble glanced away turning her nose up at the drake.

“Turn your nose up to us all you want bitch! won’t change the fact we can tell you got plastic surgery!”DragonHeart suddenly materialized besides Spike to shout at the uptight noble who didn’t even react due to not being able to hear or see the stand.

Spike fought back the urge to laugh at the insult biting his lower lip to stop himself before he composed himself enough to give his stand an annoyed look and silently motioned for him to make himself scarce.

DragonHeart simply grunted before fading away from view before Spike fully turned his attention to his sister.

“So where are the girls?”Spike asked folding his hands behind his head”Like you’d think by now Pinkie Pie would have jumped out of somewhere randomly to drag me to a ‘Welcome to C.U’ party or something.”he grinned only getting a giggle from Twilight in response.

“Oh don’t worry I’m sure it’s in the works, but first I think we should get you acquainted with a few things.”She said before pulling out a slip of paper from her pocket and handed it to Spike who raised an eyebrow when he took it”Your class schedule, I was asked to give it to you by the Headmaster, I highly recommend you memorize it little bro.”Twilight smiled.

Spike said nothing while he unfolded the slip of paper and looked it over with a bored expression not really paying much attention to it but was distracted long enough for someone to walk past him and bump into him”Sorry.”he apologized glancing up at the Earth pony stallion he bumped into.

“Go back to where you came from lizard.”the stallion spat with an icy tone as he continued his stride he was a rather tall stallion being emerald green in color with a jet black mane dressed in a simple dress shirt and black pants.

Twilight whirled around hearing this expression being one of outrage, however any tirade she was about to give the man was cut off when Spike shot his tail out tripping the man up making him face plant into the ground.

“On second thought, I’m not sorry.”Spike casually said with a smirk and continued on his way.

“You tripped me!”the stallion glared as he got back to his feat with a glare”How dare you-“he began before Twilight spoke up.

“You had it coming.”She glared standing between her brother and the angry student”And unless you want me to report what you said to my brother I highly recommend you just keep walking.”She warned him eyes narrowed.

The stallion looked taken aback by this”Brother? But you’re a-no it doesn’t matter.”he shook his head with a glare taking a step forward”Go ahead and report me no one’s gonna be on that reptiles side.”he growled and roughly grabbed Twilight by the shoulder”Now move aside bitch before I-“he began to say only to be cut off by a low growl coming from Spike.

The drake turned to glare at the stallion slightly hunching over baring his teeth glaring specifically at the hand the man hand on his shoulder”You’ve got to the count of ten to remove that hand or loose it.”he threaten pupils becoming more narrow and cat like to show his anger.

The stallion tensed up at this and took an apprehensive step back before shaking his head”D-do you know who I-“he began before he was cut off again.

“HEADS UP!”

A voice cut across the courtyard making the trio look to the left just as a football came flying at them…and nailing the earth pony right in the face violently launching him off Twilight and onto the grass staining his clothes with grass and dirt stains as he skidded across the ground.

Spike blinked before letting out a laugh at the sight while Twilights eyes landed on the person who launched the sports ball at the arrogant aggressor.

Calmly jogging over to the two was an male Deer with a sea foam green coat dressed in a red and violet jersey with the numbers zero and four written on the front and wearing black shorts his violet colored eyes where looking directly at Spike as he jogged up.

“Sorry about that the ball got away from me you ok?”the deer asked with a smile while Spike took a moment to compose himself.

“Yeah I’m fine, cause I’m not the one ya hit with your ball.”Spike said jerking his thumb over to the downed pony who was slowly getting back to his hooves.

“Oh?”the Deer glanced past Spike towards the green stallion who was clutching his now bleeding snout”…Eh he shouldn’t have been standing there it’s his own fault.”He shrugged before he took notice of Twilight.

“Uh hi I’m Twilight-“She began before the deer turned his attention back to Spike.

“Names Celtis, Celtis Hackberry.”The young stag smiled interrupting Twilight before offering his hand to Spike”You new here?”he asked.

“Uh yeah names Spike, Spike Sparkle.”Spike introduced himself with a neutral tone shaking the boy’s hand.

“HEY!”the stallion shouted in rage and began to march up to them”Don’t just ignore me! do you people know who I am?”he demanded gaining the attention of a few on lookers.

Spike rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to reply intending to tell the guy to buzz off before Celtis beat him to it.

“No but no one cares…but I’m sure you and your overinflated ego compensating for your small prick will tell us anyways.”the deer replied in a chipper tone with a smile, the minute he said this Spike nearly bursted out laughing again and had to clamp a hand over his mouth to stop himself while Twilight shuffled a small giggle.

“…The fuck did you just say to me?”The stallion glared, by now a small crowed had formed around the four some taking their phones out to record the possibility of a fight breaking out.

“Oh? Did I stutter?”Celtis asked smile not leaving his face for a moment”Then let me rephrase it a little…No one cares who you are so take your tardigrade sized dick and country sized ego to someone who cares…which is no one.”he finished with a smile giving a slight tilt of his head.

“….oh shit.”a griffon student said as a few other students made a unanimous ‘ooh’ sound at Celtis’s insult.

The stallion looked like he just tasted something bitter and acidic with the expression he was making, eyes wide and mouth shut tight into a deep frown”You….you FUCKER!”he shouted and rushed him fist reared back.

Celtis simply hunched over slightly folding his arms behind his back and closed his eyes”…should kick in right about now~”he stated under his breath getting Spike to raise an eyebrow.

“Huh?”he blinked before turning to the bully.

ゴゴゴゴ…

The stallion suddenly froze mid stride eyes widen in shock”I….I can’t…”he began to say trying to move before he found himself going silent unable to speak at all now.

Many of the students looked confused and began to converse amongst themselves, to them it looked as if the man had suddenly frozen in place.

“Oh dear it looks like he got so angry he shorted himself out.”Celtis stated walking forward and simply placed a finger on the stallions snout before leaning into his ear to whisper”I suggest you vanish from my sight you disgusting vermin.”he whispered before pushing the frozen pony over making him land on his back in a thud.

Instantly the stallion regained his mobility and scrambled to his feet in shock before promptly bolting from the crowd and away from the deer.

“…wow that dude caught a lucky break.”a Pegasus student noted watching as the other student ran.

“…What…was that?”Twilight asked approaching Celtis reaching out a hand to make contact with the adolescent deer only to be surprised as the boy whirled around and made a beeline right at Spike.

“What the-“Spike blinked before Celtis grabbed him by the hand and lead him away”Hey what gives? let go!”he said in surprise.

“Come on dude I’ll show ya around!”Celtis laughed breaking through the crowd while also leaving Twilight stunned at the scene that had just transpired.

“What the-Hey come back!”Twilight shouted and pushed her way past the crowd to follow the duo but quickly lost sight of them”Ugh dammit it’s day one and I’ve already lost him this day can’t get any worse!”the unicorn mare complained before taking in a deep breath and letting her horn spark up.

-

“Hey would you slow down dude?! Come on let go!”Spike protested trying to wrench his arm free but Celtis seemed to have an iron like grip on his wrist”Dude come on you’re gonna rip my arm off!”he said just as the boy had lead them into a vacant corridor of the school he finally was released”Jesus finally! Dude seriously what’s your damage?”Spike asked with a glare while rubbing his wrist for a moment to alleviate any soreness he had.

“Sorry I just thought it be best to get you away from the crowd before campus security showed up, no doubt that guy was rushing off to get them.”Celtis dismissed with a sigh”I saw what happened that douche started the fight didn’t he?”he asked getting Spike to pause.

“Huh? Oh yeah the dude kinda ran his mouth so I tripped him with my tail, one could argue I was the one who kinda started it but you know how these nobles can be.”Spike shrugged it off.

“Entitled selfish bigots, yes I’m well aware of how cruel his kind can be.”Celtis stated taking a moment to look Spike over”the girl didn’t try anything did she?”he asked getting a confused look from the dragon”The unicorn”he clarified.

“Twilight? Nah man she’s my friend.”Spike dismissed with a chuckle missing the surprised look that dawned on the deers face.

“Is that right?”Celtis muttered scratching his chin”Can’t say I’ve ever heard of a dragon being friends with a pony before.”he admitted.

“Huh whys that?”Spike asked but before Celtis could give an answer a flash of purple light caught the duo’s attention as Twilight teleported into the corridor dusting herself off.

“There you are what’s the big idea just grabbing Spike like that?”Twilight asked with a frown giving a stern look towards Celtis.

For a moment Celtis said nothing a frown firmly fixed on his face whike he stared back at Twilight”…Sorry.”he shrugged simply”Just figured I’d get the guy out of there before he got into any real trouble, didn’t realize I needed permission to help someone out.”he stated in a flat tone.

“I’m sure Spike would have been fine.”Twilight stated with a huff”Campus security would have taken our side of things had gotten bad that jerk is the one who started it.”she stated only for Celtis to snort.

“Typical unicorn, never really gets the big picture because they assume everything just works out like how they think it will, how ignorant can you be.”Celtis stated getting a glare from Twilight to which he returned.

Spike blinked glancing between the two sensing a small air of tension before he cleared his throat”Uh relax Twi, Celtis here was just helping me out, granted he went a little overboard just dragging me off but he’s pretty cool.”He assured his sister who huffed.

“Well come on then, I still have to show you around campus, there are a lot of places you’re gonna need to see.”She stated before grabbing her brothers hand and began to lead him off.

“My sentiments exactly, but I think Spike could use the company of someone who better relates to him.”Celtis stated walking at an even pace along side the two and taking the dragons other hand.

“That’s not necessary,”Twilight frowned”You don’t need to do that.”she told him.

“True but I don’t exactly need your permission now do i?”Celtis stated.

The two continued to glare at each other the whole time while leading Spike around by his hands.

“Ya know out of context this kinda looks like a scene from one of those harem animes you watch, like two love rivals competing for their Senpai’s attention at the same time.”DragonHeart stated to Spike mentally making the boy groan.

“Good grief.”Spike sighed allowing the two to lead him away whole they also continued to bicker and glare at each other.

-

“Of course it’s the library.”Spike thought to himself in all honesty he shouldn’t have been surprised that Twilight had led him here, both he and Celtis sat down at the table both looking equally board out of their skulls while Twilight enthusiastically yet silently told Spike various details and facts about the building from the books it held to the very last detail of the organization method used for its books”Note to self, find this Dewey Decimal guy and beat the crap out of him. “Spike thought to himself while trying to at least look like he was interested Celtis on the other hand looked like he’d rather be anywhere else right about now.

“So boring…”The deer muttered under his breath in a dry tone that Twilight didn’t seem to notice at first.

“Something to say Celtis?”Twilight said turning to the deer as he mimicked the act of blowing his own brains out with his hand out of sheer boredom.

“Yeah I’ve got a few things to say, Shouldn’t we be doing something a little more fun? I mean libraries are basically obsolete at this point since phones and computers exist.”Celtis yawned ignoring the mortified look Twilight now had.

“Ob-Obsolete?!”Twilight shouted in shock before wincing as she was angrily shushed by the surrounding students”How can you even say such a thing? The C.U library is full of engaging and captivating books from the history of Equestria and pony culture to the core mechanics of unicorn magic.”she tasted proudly.

“….And me and Spike would find that stuff useful how?”Celtis asked flatly tapping his own antlers”Unicorn magic ain’t something either of us can do, plus I don’t think either of us are that big on the culture of a bunch of people who don’t even want us here.”he stated.

“Ok first, you are jumping to conclusions on that not every pony here is against non-ponies.”Twilight frowned”second, of you’re really that bored you are more then welcome to make your own entertainment.”Twilight huffed.

Celtis rolled his eyes for a moment briefly glancing over to the exit before he suddenly paused and smiled”I think I’ll take you up on that offer, I’m gonna go hit up the vending machine want anything Spike?”he asked turning to the drake.

“Nah I’m good.”Spike said while Twilight perked up.

“Oh well I’d like a-“She began before Celtis walked off.

“Kay then be back in a few.”he waved them off walking over towards the doors on the other end of the room making Twilight frown.

“Can you believe that guy?”she asked with a huff crossing her arms only to get a sigh from Spike”the nerve of him.”she stated.

“He’s kinda right Twi.”Spike stated rubbing his neck getting a shocked look from his sister”Look i appreciate you trying to make this place look a lot more welcoming then it actually is but…books on magic and pony culture don’t have any use to me, plus a lot of the students here have been giving me the stink eye.”he stated.

“They wouldn’t have done anything I’m sure of it they just need to get to know you Spike.”Twilight smiled only for Spike to shake his head.

“They won’t…look Twilight this is why I didn’t wanna come to C.U in the first place, I only changed my mind cause I figured this would be a safe place to hide out while that Blueblood guy is being held till his trial.”he stated which was only a partial lie”I’m not saying Celtis is in the right for acting like a dick to you but…you kinda don’t know what I’m going through because you’re a-“he began before he stopped himself

“I’m a what Spike?”Twilight asked crossing her arms”Because I’m a pony?”she leaned in with a frown making Spike look away”Spike…you’re my brother…when I look at you that’s all I see not a dragon, look I get it I couldn’t possibly understand some of the stuff you have to deal with but you know that not all ponies are idiots like that guy form earlier.”she sighed.

“…Sorry.”Spike sighed hanging his head low only for Twilight to bring his face back up to look at her.

“It’s Alright…look maybe I should have been a little nicer to Celtis, sometimes I forget not everyone is gonna share the same opinion as me on books and academics part of getitng you to come here was to help you figure stuff out…I promise I’ll try to smooth things over with him he might actually be a really nice guy-“her sentence was cut off by the sensation of a hand on her shoulder grabbing her attention.

“Hey Sparkle we missed ya the last few days.”a voice said and instantly all the color drained from Twilight’s face while her eyes widened.

“Starlight…Trixie.”Twilight greeted with a nervous smile standing upright while Spike raised an eyebrow recognizing the duo.

Starlight Glimmer and Trixie Lulamoon, better known as ‘Glimmermoon’ on their shared instagram page where two unicorn mares around Twilights age Starlight having a light pink coat and dark violet mane with a pale crystal blue streak in it wearing a pair of black pants and a red blouse while Trixie was dark blue with a lighter blue borderline silver mane wearing a purple star spangled magicians hat and cape with a aqua blue tank top and purple skirt, both girls had a hand on Twilight’s shoulder and where both sporting an enthusiastic grin while Twilight seemed to be rather nervous.

“Oh would you look at the time!”Twilight said ignoring getting shushed again”We really should be going Spike-“she tried to wretch herself free of the twos grip only for them to pull her back.

“So you’re Spike?”Starlight asked glancing at the dragon who gave a small wave”Her little brother?”she asked getting a nod in return”Mind if we borrow her for a bit?”she asked.

“….”Spike paused and rubbed his chin taking a moment to notice the nervous smile Twilight had along with the bare minimum of a blush creeping onto her face, there was only one thing a little brother could say during a situation like this when he knew what they had planned”…Sure go ahead I don’t mind!”Spike stated with a smile.

“Spike what the fuck!?”Twilight said before letting out a yelp as Trixie slipped a hand down behind her.

“Great come on Sparkle let’s get you camera ready!”Trixie grinned as she and Starlight ushered Twilight out the other exist, the blue mare was undoubtedly pulling on Twilights underwear to entice her to leave the sight of which got a few chuckles from the other students watching.

“I miss anything?”Celtis asked as he came back up holding a soda in one hand and two candy bars in the other.

“Nothing really that surprising.”Spike stated as he leaned back”Hey listen we kinda need to talk about Twilight.”he stated before Celtis sat down and held up a hand.

“Relax I was just about to talk to you about it too.”he stated before he cracked open his soda and took a sip.

“Really?”Spike blinked before smiling”Well that’s great I was so worried that-“he began only for Celtis to cut him off.

“For your own good Spike I’d avoid hanging out with her or any of the other ponies for that matter that go to this school or in general.”Celtis stated making Spike pause.

“I…what?”Spike asked blinking had he heard him right?

“Ponies are nothing but trouble dude I mean you’ve seen the way they look at guys like you and me right?”Celtis said while he opened up his candy bar wrapper and took a bite”Bunch of bigots and arrogant self entitled dickwads that should have been wiped out by the wendigos along time ago if you ask me, guys like you and me should stick with people who get us, not the people who oppress us.”he smiled While Spike stared at him at a loss for words.

“I…dude are you serious right now?”Spike blinked looking around”Is this a prank show am I on a hidden camera or something or is this some type of college social experiment?”he asked before Celtis shook his head.

“No, I’m dead serious you shouldn’t socialize with ponies like Twilight or that meat head who picked a fight with you, they’re all the same.”he stated only for Spike to shake his head.

“You’ve got it all wrong dude, Twilights not like that, she’s my friend-hell she’s my sister.”Spike said getting Celtis to frown.

“I see…she must really have you wrapped around her little finger then.”Celtis stated getting a glare from the draogn in response.

“She doesn’t have me wrapped around anything dude, my mom, a unicorn took me in and raised me, that proves not all ponies are bad.”Spike stated.

“Or she took you when you where an egg to raise a personal slave she could manipulate-“Celtis began before Spike swung his claws slashing open the can of soda the deer held in a fit of anger making its contents pour out onto the table and floor.

“Do em a favor…stay the FUCK away from me and twilight!”Spike growled before he promptly turned and left.

ゴゴゴゴ…

“…”Celtis glanced down at his ruined soda can and sighed”I see…she really has him that convinced…guess I’m gonna have to open his eyes another way.”Celtis muttered as a dark green aura slowly enveloped him just as a hand slowly reached out from under the table”Don’t worry Spike…I’ll make sure you see the light before today ends.”he smirked”Count on it.”

…To Be Continued
