The Rise of the Equestria Dragons

New farm life

"What was I thinking? And what was Twilight thinking? "Did you really want to kiss me?": Spike asked himself in frustration in his mind as he walked down the street of Ponyville.

His thoughts revolved around his foster sister's behavior, how could he not have seen it coming? If that was why she was so clingy, she wanted to seduce him. He had expected this kind of behavior from Rarity, but not from Twilight. He desperately wondered what he should do now. Should he reject her, or should he commit to a relationship? Spike found Twilight as a dragon more than just attractive, and was also attracted to her. She had always been there for him and protected him when danger threatened. And yet, he was afraid that it might cause her condition to worsen again. Moreover, the dragon was struggling with his own feelings lately, not only that everything was different.

"Morning, Spike! “: he heard a voice call, causing the male to turn around.

He quickly heard the source of the shouting, it was coming from the flower stand. A dragon stood there waving to him. She had light yellow scales that were almost white, although the scales on her stomach area and jaw were really white. Her fin scales looked like a red mane with pink stripes and went down to her shoulders. The end of her tail had the same pattern and resembled a leaf. It had no spines on either its back or its bulwarks. She had bright yellow wings that were really white on the inside. Unlike Twilight or Starlight, her snout was slightly more elongated and had pointed teeth. It had white ear fins and two short horns. She was a bit taller than Spike.

“Morning Roseluck… how are you?”: the purple dragon asked slightly shyly and approached the dragoness.

“Pretty good, I haven’t set any flowers on fire today.”: said the dragoness embarrassed and rubbed the back of her neck. “

You know, always stay calm and take deep breaths. And if you ever laugh out loud, just walk away from the plants." Spike said educationally.

“Good advice, maybe I need some private lessons. How about, Spike~? Do you have time for a private meeting?": Roseluck asked in a flirty tone, not even bothering to hide the undertone.

Spike became a little nervous as he examined the female in front of him. The dragoness had a slim waist and shapely legs and arms. Her jeans were really tight and showed off her big ass really well. Her white T-shirt and green gardening apron also helped not to hide her D-cups. The apron didn't even manage to cover the dragoness' breasts properly. And the T-shirt seemed to be desperately fighting not to be torn by the mare's stem.

"Um...sorry Roseluck, but I'm too busy for private lessons at the moment. But I will be giving a tutoring course again soon. See you soon and good luck with the flowers," said the little man, slightly nervously, and said goodbye.

As the dragon walked, the female gave him the look that hunters gave their prey. She smiled in amusement and licked her snout with her dragon tongue as she carried the flowerpots inside. A job that was no longer a problem thanks to her new dragon power.

"No need to rush, I'll still get my piece of dragon meat." Roseluck thought to herself and took one last look at the male.

“What’s going on with the females lately?” Spike asked himself as he reached the village square.

Of course, he's gotten more compliments since his growth spurt, especially since he'd gained some muscle from working at Sweet Apple Acres. But he had never been flirted with so openly before, and on the other hand, he was perhaps too worried. When he looked around Ponyville, the male couldn't help but smile. After the plague, life here in the village seemed sorrowful; everything had changed for the residents. They still had to get used to their new bodies, which wasn't easy. Although the former inhabitants had not grown into giant dragons, their body size had already increased. The average mare in Eqeuestria was 1.67 m. Of course, there were exceptions. Fluttershy, for example, was the tallest of his friends, the Pegasus was 1.72 m tall. And Applejack was also 1.70 m tall, which particularly bothered Rainbow Dash with her 1.66 m. On average, stallions were up to 1.80 m tall, although there could be deviations here too. The prime example of this was Big Macintosh with his 2.10 m. Back then, Spike could well understand that the earth pony stallion often felt uncomfortable in houses. But as the inhabitants became dragons, the average height increased to 1.85 m for females and up to 2 m for males. Since Spike was younger than most of the inhabitants, he was still growing and was only 1.84 m tall, although the dragon would reach 2 m by his twentieth birthday.

To say that furniture and especially entrance doors felt smaller to the newly transformed dragons was an understatement. Spike didn't even want to think about clothes; he remembered well that the residents had to walk around wrapped in sheets. Since dragons were also much stronger than ponies, the residents also had to get used to their new power. Initially, their power was so untrained that the new dragons tore doors off their hinges. When they jumped around too wildly in groups, they even caused small earthquakes, especially when they danced the Pony Pokey. Even when they picked up items that were too fragile, there were difficulties. A few plates were broken, and even more glass objects were damaged.

And then there was the fire, oh yes, the fire. Ponyville literally became a hotbed for wildfires. Fires broke out more than once, often in several places at the same time. And since the former Pegasi had no weather magic, they had to switch to a different system. Huge water containers, fortunately they were now strong enough to transport large quantities. Unfortunately, the continuous fires were too damaging to the houses, which soon resulted in ruins. It quickly became clear that the choice of materials for the buildings had to change. It was decided to use stone instead of wood and roof tiles instead of thatched roofs. Where wood had to be used, Eris helped with her magic. She enchanted the wood so that it was non-flammable. The same went for the furnishings, which everyone at the Draconequus was truly grateful for.

Thanks to everyone's cooperation, Ponyville was soon rebuilt. However, some dragons wondered whether the village's name should be changed. After a brief discussion, the idea was discarded, even though they are no longer ponies, they should always be aware of their history. Spike supported the residents wherever he could, after all, he had to figure out many things on his own and that wasn't easy. Whether it was fire breathing, power, control or even flying with dragon wings. Now on this sunny day, kites were everywhere walking the streets, flying through the sky, standing at their stalls and selling goods. Life was almost the same again, except for a few little things. And yet, his mind went back to Twilight and the almost kiss. Luckily for him, he was on his way to finding a person who he could talk to about anything and who would always be honest with him.

Spike's route to Sweet Apple Acres wasn't a problem thanks to his wings, as he could easily fly over the plantations. How comfortable he was now that he didn't have to walk anymore. He could also see how big the apple orchard had become. After the plague, any remaining farms were expanded as dragons ate more food. When Spike reached the yard, you could immediately see a change. The Apples' house was much larger, and there was a second house right next to it that was very similar to the first. The chicken coop was also slightly larger, as was the farm's red barn. What seemed a bit strange, however, were the warehouses that stood a little further back. Spike landed in front of the house and looked for Applejack.

“Hello Spike!”: the male heard a cheerful voice calling to him, the voice came from the barn, where a dragon was carrying a bale of hay and waving to him with her free hand.

“Hello, Applebloom!”: the dragon called back and approached the female.

The former earth pony foal had changed a lot, she was now sixteen and was enjoying her last few years at school. Her scales were yellow, while those on her belly and jaw were a pale color. Like all former ponies, she had red fin scales that looked like her old mane. The end of her tail had no special shape, but had two red spikes. Applebloom had dark red ear fins that were easy to see despite her fin scales. She had no horns sticking out of her head but did have two small horns growing out from under her two ear fins. Her snout was very similar to Smolder's and the yellow dragoness was also about the same size as the orange dragoness when she first came to Equestria.

"You're a little late, you should hurry up. Otherwise, the job will be done soon.": Applebloom said amused, pushing the dragon with her elbows.

Then she lifted the bale of hay with one hand on her shoulder and walked with it into the barn. As a dragon, the former earth pony was strong, but that didn't surprise Spike. Even though the female's body was currently covered by short, blue dungarees and a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt, he knew that Applebloom had a slightly muscular stomach. In addition, her legs and arms are well-toned. Even her breasts were already C cups and her butt was also very inviting. It probably wouldn't be that long before they got a growth spurt too. Surely, she would grow wings, after all, she was only a little younger than him. Despite her age, she still wore her beloved red bow.

Spike walked further into the plantation, and after a while, he saw many wooden buckets standing under the trees. Suddenly, the ground shook, as if something had stomped violently on the ground. The shock caused the apples to fall from the trees directly into the bucket. Everywhere in that part of the plantation, the fruits fell down, causing the trees to be harvested. The male knew where the quake came from and was also able to determine the location of the impact; luckily it was nearby. When he went to the place in the middle of the apple trees, he found the cause.

"Here you are, finally, I've been waiting for you.": said the dragon in front of him and adjusted her cowboy hat.

"Sorry Applejack, I've blabbered a bit.": Spike said to the former farmer's pony.

In her dragon form, Applejack had orange scales, while her belly scales were cream colored. Her tail was longer than Spike's, but not as long as Twilight's. The end of her tail had the same spar shape as Spike's, unlike the purple dragon, she had no spikes on her back and tail. She had tied her fin scales, which looked like her old mane, into the same ponytail she had as an earth pony. Her wings were orange on the outside and pale yellow on the inside. The dragoness had no ear fins, but rather goblin-like ears. These were orange and slightly longer than her pony ears. Two horns sticking out of her head looked like those of a bull. Her muzzle looked almost the same as it did when she had bangs, only they were a little longer. She had two long, sharp canines and dark brown scales that looked like her freckles.

“Well, get to it then. We have many baskets to carry back." Applejack explained, taking the purple dragon in a headlock.

Even if Spike fought back, the orange dragon wouldn't even notice. In her current form, Applejack was a bit taller than Garble and, above all, much more muscular. Her stomach was very muscular, as were her arms and not to mention her thighs. Her thighs were probably so strong that she could break stones with them. The male was helplessly pressed against her body, directly against her E-cup breasts. The female was wearing a red flannel shirt that was knotted under her breasts, leaving her midriff bare. She also wore tight Daisy Duke jeans that barely managed to hide her big ass. She also wore black, fingerless gloves and her beloved hat.

Even through the clothes, Spike could feel how soft Applejack's tits were. His male instinct told him to grope the fat breasts. However, his survival instinct advised him not to do so in order not to be murdered. Luckily, the female let go of him and he was finally able to breathe. As the dragoness passed him, he noticed that the farmer moved her hips seductively back and forth. Spike was mesmerized until he woke himself up with a shake of his head.

“Pull yourself together, Spike. "You can't be so distracted by every female," the dragon reminded himself, even though that was definitely the best ass in all of Ponyville.

Both dragons carried the baskets full of apples to the warehouses. With Spike helping her, Applejack could carry up to five baskets at a time. Two in each arm and a fifth with her tail. Spike could only carry up to three baskets, one in each arm and one with his tail. In the past, the farmer always had to pull a cart with the baskets through the plantation, but now she simply flew the apples to the warehouses. The orange dragon with the blonde hair would never admit it to Rainbow Dash, but flying was just astonishing. Since she had wings and immense dragon strength, she could complete her work in a fraction of the time it took as a pony. Of course, neither she nor Spike were as fast as their former Pegasus friend, but there was no way they could be called slow.

Spike and Applejack brought the fruit to the warehouses that the family had newly built. The apples were temporarily stored there so that they would not rot. The delivery services picked up the apples the next day and delivered them throughout Equestria. Previously, the Apple family had only supplied Ponyville, but now they also had to supply nearby villages. Unfortunately, there were now fewer farms in Equestria than before, which is why existing farms had to be expanded. That's why the warehouses were built so that the food could be stored accordingly. Of course, the workload also increased as there was now more work to be done. However, with their new dragon skills, the farmers were able to handle everything and not exhaust themselves. The prime example of this landed just in front of the two dragons.

"Hello Big Mac, isn't that a little too heavy?" Spike asked carefully to the dragons in question.

"Nope!": the dragon replied casually with one of his standard answers while carrying a huge basket that could be used as a swimming pool.

Big Macintosh was one of the few stallions to survive the plague; Doctors attributed it to his physique. However, the Apples believed it was his will. After transforming into a dragon, the male had red scales. The scales on its belly were dark yellow, as were those on its lower jaw. His cock wasn't that long, but it was huge. Like his sisters, the tip of his tail had no particular shape. It has sharp-looking scales that run narrowly from the back of its head to the tip of its tail. His orange fin scales resembled his old mane, and he had additional dark yellow scales under his eyes. He had dark yellow ear fins and two broad, orange horns protruding from his head. Two slightly shorter horns split off from the two horns. They looked like a bull's and were curved forward as if they were made for striking. Its snout was no longer than a pony's, but it was more like a dragon's. Big Macintosh was a head taller than Applejack and therefore had two large wings that were red on the outside and dark yellow on the inside.

When the red man placed the gigantic basket on the ground, it briefly shook the earth. During the dragon migration, Spike had met many dragons, but none of them had as many muscles as the farmer before him. And it wasn't just because of his chiseled abs, which the purple dragon could see because Big Macintosh hadn't buttoned the white shirt he was wearing. His arms were very muscular, as were his legs, and looked really intimidating. Even if Spike couldn't see her currently because of the jeans, she could. His neck in particular now seemed wider and more massive than it did when he was an earth pony.

“It looks like you’re almost done with your page. I'm sure Sugar Belle will be delighted about that, I wonder what you're doing with your newfound leisure time.": Applejack said in a cheeky tone and walked towards her brother.

"Um... nothing... nothing important.": replied the larger dragon, looking very embarrassed as he backed away a bit.

Spike found it ironic that the strongest-looking dragon was so shy. But that was Big Macintosh's personality, but he wondered why the big red male was so embarrassed. It was only after a brief moment that the purple dragons clicked and had to suppress a grin. Surely, Sugar Belle and Big Macintosh would give new meaning to the phrase “shake the walls.”

“Now I don’t want to stop you anymore. Come on Spike, let’s get ready,” said the dragon with the cowboy hat and flew forward.

“Come right away,” the purple dragon replied when the red male suddenly stopped him.

"Um... Spike... may I ask you something?" Big Macintosh asked a little nervously and rubbed the back of his neck.

“Sure, what’s it about?”: he asked, curious to know what it was about.

"Have you noticed lately... that the females... are behaving differently?": the red dragon asked cautiously.

Spike's eyes widened, so he wasn't the only one who noticed. The females have been much more direct lately, and they have been flirting more often. It wasn't just Twilight or Roseluck... he had noticed some dragonesses looking at him and whistling. And they didn't hold back from being more direct. Just yesterday, the purple dragon had received two playful slaps on his bottom from females and when he turned around, they just giggled in amusement. He thought it was all just playful, but now he wasn't so sure.

“What exactly do you mean...?” Spike asked uncertainly when he suddenly heard a whistle.

Both males looked in the direction of where the noise came from and spotted a group of dragonesses standing by the fence. They all stood there waving as they watched the two dragon’s work.

“Guys, what does it look like? Are you about to finish your work?” one of the dragonesses called out with interest.

"We wanted to go out for something to eat, don't you two want to come with us?" another female asked in a teasing tone while crossing her arms under her chest to push her breasts up a little.

“Aren’t you two too hot in your shirts?” another asked, subtly pulling her neckline down to reveal more of her bust.

Now Spike understood what Big Macintosh meant and was a little embarrassed. And yet, a part of him felt very attracted that the females were so interested in them. After all, any male would be flattered to receive so much attention from females. On the other hand, Spike also felt like prey to a pack of predators. Big Macintosh also seemed a little uncomfortable, but the red dragon had already received a lot of attention from the mare as a pony. At that time, the mares either ignored them or fled, intimidated. Currently, however, he just scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled shyly, like Fluttershy did when she received a compliment that made her happy. The purple dragon was surprised that the farmer dragon felt the same way as him.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded, followed by a wild landing that shook the ground. It was Applejack who looked stern at the other dragonesses and angrily blew out a large cloud of smoke. The two males felt a little uncomfortable, as if there was a wild bull standing in front of them. While the group of dragonesses just groaned or sighed in disappointment and rolled their eyes in annoyance.

“What do you think, where you are here, this is a farm and not a show? So don’t distract my workers, we still have work to do,” said the orange dragon with the cowboy hat sternly and approached the fence.

"Looking, won't be forbidden to be.": said a dragoness insulted and folded her arms under her chest.

Applejack grabbed one of the wooden boards from the fence with both claws, she leaned her upper body over it and said something quietly: "Then look with your eyes and keep your mouth closed, you know the deal. Or do you want to with Sugar Belle negotiate again? At Sweet Apple Acres, you keep a low profile, especially at work. Because otherwise, we will immediately draw new boundaries. Above all, now is not the time for that, so pull yourself together. Understood?"

The five dragonesses just nodded silently, but they weren't happy about it. Neither Spike nor Big Macintosh had heard what the females there were talking about. The dragon Cowgirl turned away from the group, flicking her tail in warning. She approached the two males, although her posture now seemed much more relaxed.

“Now that’s all sorted out, let’s see if we can get the job done.”: said the female, straightening her cowboy hat.

Spike and Applejack flew back to get the remaining buckets, and Big Macintosh did its work at the warehouses.
He wasn't as distracted by the dragonesses anymore, but he could still feel their gaze. When he looked at them briefly, a dragoness winked at him. He immediately smiled, a little embarrassed, but also felt slightly guilty. After all, he was married and still somehow enjoyed the attention of other females. What was even stranger was that Sugar Belle didn't mind at all. The red male had spoken to his wife about it, and she had replied that he should be happy that he was so popular with the female.

“Maybe I'm thinking too much, I should just get some work done. Sugar Belle wanted to surprise me with something today, I shouldn't keep her waiting.": Big Macintosh thought to himself and carried the apples to the warehouse, while he looked forward to his time after work.

After a few flights, Applejack and Spike were ready. All the apple trees had been harvested, and it was still mid-morning. Both dragons walked relaxed through the plantation, of course, they could also have flown. But it was a little ritual between the two friends that they talked after work and at the same time went for a walk through the apple trees. The purple dragon could still remember how he had trained to control his strength properly here after his growth spurt. He appreciated the farmer's honest nature and also that she was so reliable. Applejack also liked talking to the dragon, especially after everything that had happened.

While Spike did everything he could to be there for Twilight, the dragon farmer helped him deal with his loss. The death of Shining Armor had hit him hard too, after all, he was like a brother to Spike. Applejack knew all too well what it was like to lose family and how much it hurt. She was incredibly proud of how much Spike cared for his sister. He had always been reliable and had always supported them all when it was in his power. Often, even if it was beyond his physical capabilities and it exhausted him. She certainly wouldn't have had the stamina to work as an assistant for Twilight herself.

“Tell me, how is Granny Smith?” Did she write to you?" Spike asked curiously and looked at the dragon next to him.

“Relatively well, she is enjoying her second youth to the fullest, she and Apple Rose sent us a letter with photos. “Already she’s at the seaside learning to surf,” Applejack said amused and laughed.

Spike had to smile too, he was happy for Granny Smith. The Apple Family in Ponyville was really lucky, they didn't lose a single family member. Although the disease mainly attacked older ponies, the old mare not only survived. After her transformation into a dragon, she was a young adult by dragon standards and was still far from an older lady. Her body was even slightly larger than Big Macintosh's, and she now looked young again. Any discomfort she had was gone, and Granny Smith could move like a young deer. She took advantage of her second youth and decided to travel around the country. Unfortunately, not everyone in the Apple Family was so lucky, and some of their relatives had died in the plague. Of the old generation, only she and Apple Rose remained, which hit both of them very hard. Both decided to use their new youth to go on a longer trip together. Applejack agreed, she was glad that her grandma didn't sink into depression after such a terrible disaster.

"Well, you'll see, Granny Smith will show us how to live properly.": said Spike, to which Applejack laughed a bit.

“Yes, she will. "A lot has changed," Applejack said amused, but then noticed that the purple dragon was becoming thoughtful.

“Are you okay, sugar cubes?” the dragon asked worriedly and looked over at her friend.

“Well, it’s about changing. Some time has passed since...since Shining Armor died and Twilight is doing better again. But she's been acting strange towards me lately." Spike explained, rubbing his arm a little.

“Oh yes, what exactly is she doing?” said the female, trying to hide the mistrust in her voice.

However, that didn't help much as her tail started to swing back and forth a bit energetically. Luckily, Spike didn't notice as he was wondering how much to tell. The last thing the male wanted was to embarrass his sister. However, he trusted Applejack very much, and he knew that she could keep a secret.

“Okay, but this has to stay between us. Lately, she's been a little more clingy when we're in the castle. No matter whether I'm reading or she's reading, she...she leans on me and when we sit on the couch in the evening, she always falls asleep on me. When I carry her to her bed, it feels like she's snuggling up to me. Occasionally, I catch her looking at me, and then she immediately looks away, embarrassed.": Spike began to say.

Applejack listened intently to the purple dragon as she tried to calm her inner fire. She tried everything not to grind her teeth or breathe out clouds of black smoke from her nose. She mentally cursed herself for not being more suspicious of Twilight. Just like the former unicorn, she had feelings for Spike and was in love with him. Back when he was in love with Rarity, the dragon tried so hard and did his best. It was clear to everyone from the start that their chances were almost zero. At that time, the unicorn mare didn't want to hurt the young dragon's feelings, but he seemed so young. Deep down, Spike knew it himself, and yet he wanted to try. The dragon gave it his all without becoming too intrusive. He sacrificed his time, wore more than he should, and even stayed up late at night to assist Rarity.

Even as an earth pony, she was very impressed by the young dragon; he was hard-working, good-natured, and helpful. After Spike grew and learned to control his strength, he supported her family on the farm. Above all, she enjoyed the time when they talked to each other and spent time together. At the same time, she also loved his massages when she felt tense. After her transformation into a dragon, the purple dragon not only supported her family, but also the entire village. He even traveled to other cities to help the newly transformed dragons there. Even though he was going through a difficult time himself and also caring for Twilight.

That's why she wanted to be there for Spike, to relieve him of some of his burden. She quickly realized that their feelings were more than just friendship. She loved him and wanted to be with him. And she wasn't alone with her feelings, her friends loved him too. As she and the others revealed their true feelings for the purple dragon to each other. Did the dragonesses initially disagree about who had the right to be with Spike? It almost came to a fight, but at last, they reached an agreement. And part of the deal was that no one would try to seduce Spike.

It wasn't expected that Twilight would still go after the purple dragon and break the agreement. On the other hand, Applejack had to admit that she might have made a few advances. The dragon Cowgirl occasionally hugged Spike, holding him close to her body. Or she had bent over a little longer to wiggle her bottom while picking up the buckets, knowing full well that the young dragon was staring at her. And maybe after work, when she showered, she walked around in front of Spike in just a bare towel, letting her tits and ass jiggle. The female could directly feel the purple dragon's eyes on her body. Possibly, she was a little too strict with her friend, a few little games are certainly allowed.

“Anyway, I don’t know how to react. I mean...if Twilight is really in love with me...why? Don't get me wrong, she's really a beautiful dragon and so smart too.": Spike began to explain when suddenly Applejack grabbed his shoulder and silenced him.

Her grip was firm, but not so strong that she crushed him or her claws dug into his flesh. Just hard enough to stop him. Her look was serious, but not evil. Spike wondered if he had said something wrong and turned to the larger dragoness.

“Do you really think you’re not good enough? You, who was always there for Twilight? You supported her, cared for her, and made sure she didn't overwork herself. Believe me, Spike, I don't know anyone as good a guy as you, especially... with everything that's happened in the last year. You helped so many people in Equestria, even though you weren't doing well yourself. So believe me when I say, there is no better dragon than you. Don't make yourself smaller than you are because you are significant to me," the dragon said seriously and smiled lovingly at the purple dragon.

"Applejack...thanks," Spike said, smiling happily as well.

The orange dragoness blushed briefly before her cowboy hat pulled up to hide her embarrassed face. Spike didn't think much of it when he was suddenly grabbed by the female and pressed against her body. With his face right into her huge breast so he couldn't see anything. While her tail wrapped around his stomach and lifted him up. He was a little embarrassed to be carried like that, but also knew there was no escape.

“Now, don’t get too emotional, sugar cube. Let's you first washed, I'll help you too.": Applejack spoke in a cheeky tone and smiled seductively.

Spike's head turned red, and he swallowed hard. The male was about to protest when the female's breasts cut him off. Applejack would honor the deal like Twilight did and not actively seduce Spike. She would just help him wash his back while wearing a white shirt. Nothing her friends needed to know.
