The Dragon Knight of Canterlot City

At Spike's place one morning, he got up and got ready for school before heading out giving Peewee a goodbye and see ya soon. He walked to Everfree Academy and saw not only his fellow classmates, but other adults head inside the building with them.

“That's right.” he told himself remembering an important piece of news Cheerilee told them a few days ago.

In class, Spike and his classmates listened to an announcement Cheerilee was giving, “Now this coming Friday students is where we shall have our annual Parent's day. Meaning you are welcomed to invite your parents, guardians, or any relative if yours to the academy for the day.”

Several of the students were excited to hear that seeing this as a chance to show their families how well they're doing in school. For Spike however, it didn't matter to him since he didn't have parents to invite or any other relatives close enough to him.

Nevertheless, Spike just sucked it up knowing today was going to be just another day for him at school, until Drakon spoke to him.

“You know, Spike, this could be a chance for you to finally meet the rest of the parents or guardians of your girlfriends outside the Sparkle's.”

Spike stopped in his tracks realizing that, “You're right. I'm actually going to meet the rest of their parents. Oh, why didn't I realize that sooner?!”

“Easy, Spike,” Drakon calmed him, “You hit it off well with the Sparkle's so I'm sure you'll hit it off well with the rest of their families.”

“I hope so.” Spike replied.

"Which also brings up another question."

"What's that?"

"Do you and the girls plan to tell them you're all in one big relationship?"

"Uh..." Spike said not sure how to handle that, and wondered if the girls were thinking the same thing. Nevertheless he headed inside the school building.

As Spike walked through the halls he watched his classmates were showing them around the school before classes would begin. Even his pals Thorax and Button were showing their parents some of the stuff in the classrooms.

“Spike, over here!” came Twilight's voice.

Spike looked over seeing Twilight with her parents Night Light and Velvet. He hurried over and hugged Twilight, “Morning, Twilight.”

“Good morning, Spike. You remember my parents, of course.”

“Right. Good to see you again, Mr. and Mrs. Sparkle.” Spike greeted the two.

“Good to see you too, Spike.” Night Light shook his hands.

“You look like you're doing very well.” Velvet added with a smile.

“Yes, ma'am.” Spike nodded while blushing still captivated by her beauty.

“We're just so excited to see our daughter in school today. She's such a model student.” Night Light said proudly.

“She sure is.” Spike confirmed making Twilight blush.

“Howdy ya'll!” Spike and Twilight looked and saw Applejack and Applebloom walking over with their own parents.

“Morning Applejack. Applebloom.” Spike greeted them.

“Morning, sugarcube.” Applejack greeted as she and her sister both gave Spike a hug.

“Spike, we'd like ya to meet our parents.” Applebloom began, as Spike looked at the two adults.

“Ma. Pa. This here's our friend Spike Obsidian,” Applejack introduced, “Spike, this here's our ma, Pear Butter. And our pa, Bright Mac.”

“Nice to meetcha, son.” Bright Mac shook his hand.

“Likewise, sir.” Spike answered shaking his hand back.

“Boy, you sure weren't kiddin', A.J. He does have quite the grip. I respect that.” Bright Mac told his eldest daughter who smiled.

Pear Butter approached Spike, “Applejack and Applebloom's told us so much about you, Spike.”

“Have they?” Spike wondered.

“Yes. They said, you're polite, kind, and not to mention very handsome. Their description doesn't do you justice.” Pear flattered Spike who blushed.

“Ma, don't embarrass Spike or us for that matter!” Applejack pulled her mother back.

“Sorry, A.J, I couldn't resist.” Pear giggled.

“It's alright,” Spike replied, as Drakon watched the scene amused, “And I must say it's an honor to meet the two heads of the Apple Family business. Your products are super tasty.”

“Well, thank ya, Spike.” Pear replied.

“But even though we run a successful business, we still consider ourselves simple farm folk.” Bright mac said proudly.

“Ya darn tootin'!” Applejack and Applebloom agreed, and the four laughed.

“Good morning!” came Rarity in sing song.

They saw Rarity and Sweetie Belle walking over with their parents following them.

“Rarity! Sweetie Belle!” Spike greeted the two with a hug.

“Good morning, Spike.” Rarity greeted.

“How're you doing?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Never better. I take it these are your parents?”

“Correct,” Rarity confirmed, “Mother. Father. This is Spike Obsidian.”

“It's nice to meet you both.” Spike greeted respectfully.

“Pleasure's all ours, Spike,” Rarity and Sweetie Belle's dad answered, as he shook his hand, “Name's Hondo Flanks, and this here's my wife, Cookie Crumbles.”

“Very nice to meet you, young man.” Cookie greeted Spike with a smile.

Drakon spoke to Spike while looking at Rarity's dad mustache, “Jeez what's with the hairy caterpillar under his nose?” he laughed. Rarity and Sweetie Belle held in their laughter from what Drakon said, while Spike kept a straight face.

“Um good morning.” came Fluttershy as she approached with her mother and father.

“Good morning, Fluttershy,” Spike greeted her with a hug, before noticing her parents looked a little nervous, “I take it these are your parents?”

“Yes. This is my mom Posey, and my dad Gentle Breeze. Mom and dad, this is Spike Obsidian.”

“Well, it's nice to meet you both.” Spike greeted the two who looked just as nervous as Fluttershy could be.

“Likewise, dear.” Posy greeted timidly.

“Our Fluttershy's said nothing but good things about you.” Gentle Breeze explained nervously.

“Wow. They're more timid than their own daughter.” Drakon told Spike who noticed as well. Fluttershy also hearing this felt embarrassed.

“Good morning everyone!” Pinkie cheered as she skipped over.

“Good morning, Pinkie.” Spike greeted her before receiving a hug from the energetic girl.

“I'm just so excited for parent's day! Cause it's the perfect chance to introduce you to my parents!” she stepped aside to reveal her mom and dad who had a very firm look on their faces which worried Spike.

“Yikes, I never would guess they'd be Pinkie's parents.” Drakon told Spike who decided to be nice and greet them.

“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Pie. I'm Spike Obsidian. It's nice to finally meet you.”

The adults looked to Spike their expressions not changing which made the young man nervous. Finally Pinkie's dad spoke up.

“Tis and honor to finally meet the young man our daughter has spoken so highly of for months. I am called Igneous Rock Pie, son of Feldspar Granite Pie.”

Pinkie's mom fixed her bifocals and spoke, “Thou shalt know me as Cloudy Quartz.”

“Once again I am honored to finally meet Pinkie's parents.” Spike answered.

“Our daughter truly has spoke highly of you to all of us,” Cloudy explained, “We thank you for being there for her.”

“And we hope you shall continue to be.” Igneous added.

“Of course.”

Pinkie smiled and spoke to her boyfriend, “Aren't they the best?”

Spike wasn't sure how to truly answer that before Rainbow walked over, “Morning, guys. Hey, Spike.”

“Morning, Rainbow.” Spike greeted, before seeing her parents walk over.

“So you're Spike Obsidian.” the man with rainbow haired began.

“That's me. And you must be Rainbow Dash's parents.”

“We sure are. I'm her father Bow Hothoof.”

“And I'm her mother Windy Whistles.”

“And we're... Rainbow's biggest fans!” the two declared together revealing they were wearing shirts with Rainbow's face stitched on front.

“Huh?” Drakon asked Spike in disbelief.

Rainbow sighed, “Sorry about this, Spike. My parents are uber supportive to the point it can be overwhelming.”

“I see. Well even if overwhelming you should be glad you have them.” Spike told her making her cringe remembering Spike's situation.

“You're right. And I truly am.” she admitted.

“Hey, guys!” Scootaloo called, as she approached with her parents.

“Hi, Scootaloo.” Spike greeted her with a hug.

“Spike, I'd like you to meet my parents Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood.”

“So you're the Spike our Scoots has been going on about.” Snap greeted Spike with a handshake.

“I guess so.” Spike shrugged.

“He's even more good looking than you told us.” Mane teased Scootaloo who blushed.

“Mom!”

Spike got a better look at the two, “You know I actually saw you two on TV. You're the hosts of Wild & Exotic Animals.”

“We sure are.” Snap confirmed.

“You two really bring in a lot of animals on your show.” Spike continued.

“Well, we're good with them. In fact we used to be world travelers studying and capturing rare and exotic animals on film.” Mane explained, as her husband continued.

“But when we decided to start a family we decided to settle down in one location,” he held Scootaloo close, “And thanks to our reputation we were able to get our own show allowing us to work closer to home.”

Mane nodded, “We wouldn't be able to give Scootaloo a real life if we continued to globe-trot. So we found this new life as a perfect compromise. We stay in one location so Scootaloo can live a normal life with us, and we still get to work with animals.”

“Good compromise.” Spike admitted.

“Hey, guys!”

They saw Sunset coming over with a woman accompanying her. Spike looked at them and thought to Drakon, 'She must be the one Sunset decided to finally settle for after getting bounced around other foster families.'

“So she is.” the spirit confirmed.

“Hi, Spike. Hi girls.” Sunset greeted.

“Hi, Sunset.” the girls greeted.

“Hi, Sunset.” Spike greeted her with a hug.

“Spike, I'd like you to meet... my mom Stellar Flare. Mom, this is Spike Obsidian.”

“Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.” Spike shook her hand.

“Pleasure's all mine, Spike. I do hope Sunset hasn't been too much a handful. She can be quite rebellious.”

“So I heard.” Spike humored her as Sunset blushed embarrassed.

Drakon looked over all the girls parents and spoke to his partner, “These girls got quite the families. And much like Velvet they definitely have their mothers looks and bodies.” Spike blushed while trying not to stare at any of the moms.

“How're you holding up here, Spike?” Night Light asked.

“Fine, why do you ask?”

Velvet spoke, “Well considering it's parents day, and you...”

“It's fine. Really it is.” Spike assured them.

“Well, if it help, you're more than welcome to consider us your family.” Pear offered.

“Really?”

“Ya darn tootin'!” Bright Mac agreed.

“One's kin should not always be determined by blood.” Igneous added.

“What he said.” Hondo agreed.

“Yes. You're more than welcomed to be part of our families.” Posy assured Spike who started feeling happier.

“Thanks, everyone. I really-” Spike was cut off as many of the students and parents started gasping in surprise which caught their attention.

They looked and saw walking down the hall was Grogar with everyone giving him space. The sight of him brought a twinkle to Twilight's eyes.

“Oh, my gosh, do you know who that is?!”

“I do.” Spike answered in surprise.

Grogar spotted Spike and walked up to him, “Spike, my boy! Long time no see!”

“Uncle Grogar?”

“That's me,” he chuckled, “My goodness look at you. I hardly recognized you.”

“Thanks, but what're you doing here?”

“I'm here for parents day of course.” he answered.

“But you're...”

“I know, I know. I'm not your parent or anything, but as a close friend of your parents I feel obligated to attend these events.” Grogar explained.

“Right. But how did you know I attend Everfree Academy now?” Spike wondered.

“When you got transferred Principal Neighsay informed me, being the closest contact with you after all.”

“Makes sense.”

“I can't tell you how proud I feel. I mean to be accepted at Everfree Academy is no easy feat.” Gorgar continued to boast how proud he was.

“Yeah. Listen as long as your here I'd like you to meet my friends. This is Twilight Sparkle.”

“It's nice to meet you, Professor Dagger. I'm a big fan of your research.” Twilight said excited.

“I appreciate that.”

“Then there's Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo.”

“Charmed and delighted, ladies,” Grogar greeted them before turning to the adults, “And you must all be their proud parents?”

“We sure are.” Hondo confirmed.

“Splendid. Since we're all here. Why don't we check out the school together see how much our kids are accomplishing here?” Grogar suggested.

“Sounds good to me.” Bright Mac agreed along with the rest, and they started walking off with Spike and the girls.

As they walked, Grogar glanced out a nearby window seeing the parking lot at the white van he came in and smirked, 'Soon, it'll be showtime.'
