"What happened back there?" Spike asked Emziko when she finally came to.

"Sorry, it's just...while I am excited to witness new foals coming into the world for like, the second time in my life; I never expected to witness the birth of twins in my lifetime. Then again, when your a dragon like us, that should've been expected..." Emziko said.

That got Spike's attention. "What do you mean by that last sentence exactly?" He asked.

"Don't you know that Dragons can live at least one thousand years at bare minimum? Average lifespan for a dragon is around two thousand five hundred years in fact." Emziko said.

Spike suddenly went wide eyed. "That's...a very long time..." Spike said.

"Though for some dragons, as they start hitting the big one thousand year mark, they start to take long naps that can span years if not decades." Emziko said. "But some have been recorded to never do that. Depends on the dragon." Emziko said.

"Well, I'll still most likely outlive every pony I've come to know..." Spike said.

"Hey, so long as you keep those memories close to your heart, you got nothing to worry about." Emziko said with a smile.

"That does make me feel better; thanks Emziko." Spike said.

"No problem. It'd be a real shame if you suddenly started going crazy because of that information." Emziko said.

"What?" Spike suddenly was worried.

"Oh I'm just teasing you~" Emziko quickly lied. "Let's focus on the tour for now."

"Right. I think we should go to the Boutique store in town next." Spike said.

"...There's a boutique store here?" Emziko asked; very curious.

"...When you said this was a boutique store..." Emziko said as she and Spike stepped into Rarity's Boutique. "This was most certainly not the kind of place I imagined. But in a good way." Emziko said.

"Oh, pardon me; who are you darling?" Rarity asked, turning away from working on a mannikin.

"Call me Emziko. This all your work?" Emziko asked, as she looked over at some of the costumes.

"Why yes it is, but--" Rarity started.

"Well, that just makes everything more impressive. You got a real knack for this. I'd hate to see this kind of talent stifled." Emziko said.

"Well, that's very nice of you to say, Emziko." Rarity said. She opened her mouth to speak again...

"I'll have to so come by here some other time. Mind telling me your name. Only fair." Emziko said.

"The name's Rarity, and--" Rarity again was interrupted.

"Well it's very nice to meet you Rarity. I hope we'll get along like two peas in a pod later. Right now, I'm in the middle of being shown around Ponyville. Surely, you can understand the need to want to get that done as soon as possible." Emziko said.

"Err...well...I suppose so..." Rarity decided to drop the line of thinking she was thinking as Spike and Emziko left.

"Jeez, was it any more obvious that she's jealous that you're hanging around a female dragon?" Emziko asked.

"Wait, she was being jealous about you being with me?" Spike asked. As if I didn't already have a reason to look away from Rarity enough as it was; if she's going to treat me like a possession, I don't really think there's any love there anymore. He thought to himself.

"Yeah, the mannerism was all there. Be really glad I defused that situation quickly, because she may have escalated it if I hadn't." Emziko said.

"Yeah, good on you for working that out. Nice to see you not wanting to pick a fight with any pony here." Spike said.

"Yeah, could tell she would've gotten mean in a hurry if I didn't defuse the situation quickly. Hope you don't think of me any less for doing that." Emziko said.

"Nah. If anything, it's Rarity I'm thinking less of right now." Spike said.

"What's this about Rarity?" Rainbow Dash's voice rang out.

"...Okay, who just said that?" Emziko asked then got a whiff of the air. "...Huh, that's wierd, I can't smell any new ponies nearby."

Spike chuckled. "Look up." He said.

Emziko did so, and spotted Rainbow Dash on a cloud. "Hiya." Rainbow Dash said.

"Huh. So that explains the mysterious smell of clouds I've been smelling since Sugar Cube Corner..." Emziko said. "But...I didn't smell a pony smell with it. What the heck?"

"So, Twilight informed me that there's a new dragon living in Ponyville. Guess that must be you. Name's Rainbow Dash." Rainbow Dash said.

"I'm Emziko. You're an interesting pony, Rainbow Dash. Don't think I've ever seen a pegasus use a cloud to fly around before now..."

"Oh this thing? I was using it for stealth." Rainbow Dash said before she quickly bursted the cloud.

"Speaking of which, there seem to be a lot of clouds in the sky today. Wasn't the forcast calling for sunny?" Emziko asked.

"Pssh, I can take care of that in ten seconds flat." Rainbow Dash said before she proceeded to do just that.

That caused Emziko's jaw to drop cartoonishly. "Wh-whoa..." Emziko said a little meekly.

"Mind blowing, I know. I really look forward to seeing you around, Emziko." Rainbow Dash said before speeding away.

"...That...was a pegasus...like I've never seen before..." Emziko said slowly.

"Well, we're not done with the tour yet." Spike said.

Author's Note

Had to split this tour into three parts. Also, if you were expecting the arc to start wrapping up anytime soon, well I have only one thing to say to you:

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED MOTHERCENSORED!!!!!!!!!!!!
