Author's Note

This chapter is here for those wondering where the hell Spike is in this universe. Well, here you go. Also, have a Diamond Tiara picture. I couldn't find a corrupted form of her so...you'll have to make do with a smug Diamond Tiara picture instead.

Short: Meanwhile...

MEANWHILE, IN THE DRAGON LANDS...

"Spike, I can't believe you would just...come out of nowhere and tell the truth to Torch like that..." Smolder said.

"Well, you know it's true because both Ember and your brother backed me up." Spike said.

"You big dork...your lucky I find you lovable all the same." Smolder said. "Still don't know why you decided to eject me from the School of friendship as one of the teachers." She added.

"Well someone has to be my mate, and I'd rather it be you then Ember." Spike said.

"You're lucky I love you back, you big dork." Smolder said, smacking the purple dragon's arm.

"Hey! You're lucky I let you do that." Spike said. "Because I know that's how you show your affection towards me." He said.

"Geez...finally catching a clue huh?" Smolder asked.

"Also, you and me, in the dragon lord cave in one hour." Spike said before going off to deal with more dragons that were fighting. "Stop that, I said no pointless fighting!" Spike shouted.

"...Well then, I wonder what I'm going to witness from Spike in an hour..." Smolder said. She couldn't help but find herself very curious.

Safe to say, one hour later she would get her answer, and it would leave her over-incombered afterwards.
