My Little Spyro, Friendship is Flammable.
Chapter 3: A MARSHMALLOW!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOf all things, Spyro was absolutely sure that this was his biggest mistake. His idea of lovey-dovey romance and such was that it was all a waste of time, and the idea of looking like a goofy obsessed with one person idiot against his will did not appear to Spyro at all.
"Just don't look at anypony!" Yelled Fluttershy.
Spyro kept his eyes closed while facing the wall. All of the thoughts about how horrible this was kept running about, how much he did NOT want to be like Hunter when he met Bianca. But most of all, what ingredients wer ein that love potion? Liquid cooties?!
"Just, is there a way to not fall in love with someone?!" asked Spyro, before mumbling to himself as he sat in mental panic.
Rainbow Dash had come inside now, and looked at the mess of cookies and slightly pink liquid on the ground.
"Fluttershy, why do you have love potion in your house?" asked Rainbow Dash, as Fluttershy scratched her head.
"Spyro, just don't look at anypony, I just need to get the book from Twilight's library." said Fluttershy before turning to to Rainbow Dash, "Featherweight apparently thought it'd be a neat article to see what happens when love potion is used on little critters, since apparently he read up on the stuff... Needless to say, I didn't want him seeing a lot of... that."
"Well, okay, how much did he take then? I mean, maybe a small amount won't work!" said Rainbow Dash a bit optimistically.
"I AM NOT TAKING THAT CHANCE!" scolded Spyro pessimistically.
Fluttershy shook her head, "Rainbow, can you just quickly get the book on Hearts and Hooves Day. That is what has the information on the love potion, maybe it will say something about an antidote."
Meanwhile, Sparx had picked up a cloth from in the kitchen, and bestowed it onto Spyro. The dragon immediately wrapped it tight around his eyes to avoid accidentally seeing anyone. He then spoke up to the talking pegasi, "Just take me with you so I can get this fixed faster.
Fluttershy and Rainbow shrugged, and Rainbow came up to Spyro.
"Grab onto my tail kid, and keep your wings flapping." she said, getting ready to take off.
Spyro reached forward slowly, and got the very end of her tail.
"Are you sure it won't rip right off? I mean, your tails never look like much more than a hairdo on your back enDEEEEAAAH!" exclaimed Spyro, right as Rainbow Dash took off through the front door, as the small dragon held on tight with both front claws.
Sparx chuckled to himself, and buzzed at Fluttershy.
Fluttershy blushed, "Oh, What?! No! I didn't make that up!"
Sparx buzzed a few more times, before flying after Spyro and Rainbow, leaving Fluttershy's face red.
Fluttershy shook her head, "No! I wouldn't do that... oh whatever. Angel, keep watch of the house while i'm gone, alright!"
With that Flutershy flew off to Twilgiht's library as well. The white bunny Angel came out from under the coach, the predator was gone. The other critters quickly followed suit, and looked around the pony-less home. In a few moments, Angel noticed the cookies lying on the ground, and smirked. The other critters followed, ready to munch on the treats left on the ground. They were about to begin eating, when...
Fluttershy burst back in just in time, "NO! They are poisoned!" she yelled, before grabbed up all of the cookies, and leaving again.
Angel came up to the front door, looked through the crease to make sure Fluttershy was gone, and puuled slightly soggy cookie from behind his back. He had a mischievous grin, as he hopped toward the center of the room. It was then, the Cutie mark crusaders knocked, and the paniced bunny dropped the cookie, and assumed the "I had nothing to do with it!" position.
The door opened, as the three fillies came inside.
"Fluttershy?" asked Applebloom loudly.
"She isn't here." said Scootaloo, as they walked in.
"Ooh! A cookie!" said Sweetiebelle, as she picked up the cookie on the ground.
Angel saw the fillies, and immediately decided to hope away before they would get the chance to play with him.
Scootaloo stared at the cookie in Sweetie's hoof, "Don't eat that! it was on the ground!"
Applebloom eyed the cookie as well, "Yeah, and it's soggy..."
Sweetiebelle eyed it as well, then sniffed it, "Yeah, and it smells funny, yet kind of familiar..."
"Why was it on the ground here anyway?" Asked Scootaloo, "Who wastes a good chocolate chip cookie?"
"Who knows...." replied Sweetibelle

Spike sat in the middle of the library's main room, munching on a few crystals that Twilight gave him for staying to watch the fort. She had just left a few minutes ago, and it seamed with low traffic, Spike might get some nice alone time. Though Spyro was still on his mind, there lied some new found excitement of learning more about Dragons in general, perhaps proving all dragons weren't jerks.
Next however, a cyan flash crashed into the library through the window, knocking over a bookshelf, immediately followed by a familiar purple dragon rolling across the ground and hitting a wall.
"HEY!!!!" yelled Spike, "Stop trying to boost the economy Rainbow!"
"Heh, sorry." apologized Rainbow Dash, "It's harder to keep direction with a weight on your tail than I thought."
Fluttershy came in the front door followed by Sparx. She gasped and helped Spyro too his feet.
"That looked painful from outside..." said Fluttershy.
Spike stared at Rainbow, then Fluttershy, then Spyro who for some reason was blindfolded, "What the hay going on guys?!"
"Spyro accidentally ate a cookie laced with love poison." said Rainbow Dash, as she checked over her wings, "We wanted to get that book on hearts and hooves as fast as possible to see how to fix it."
Spike shrugged, "Well, I guess that's not too unusual, I'll go get it!"
Spyro gagged a bit, "Not too unusual?!"
"A lot happens in this town." Explained Spike, as he rolled over the library ladder, and climbed up to the hearts and hooves section, "So who'd you fall in love with?"
"I haven't." said Spyro rubbing his head.
"Uh oh..." said Spike, quickly flipping to the page on the potion in the book.
"Why uh oh? I don't want to fall in love with any talking horse." replied Spyro with a worried tone.
"How long has it been?" asked Spike, as he read over the page.
Rainbow Dash flew up beside Spike, and answered "Just a few minutes."
"Well alright..." said Spike, "But, you need to find somepony to look at."
"What? WHY?!" asked Spyro in annoyed shock.
"Because if kept in your body too long without falling in love, it will make you go blind..." Spike explained, "But, as long as you don't look the somepony you see in the eyes for an hour, the potion's affect will go away."
Spyro spat some fire in irritation, "SERIOUSLY?! Great... now let me think about it..."
"Seriously Spyro? You'de rather go blind than fall in love with somepony?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I'm considering it..." said Spyro, "Fall in love with some random horse, or go blind, fall in love with a horse, or go blind..."
Fluttershy spoke up, "M-Maybe you can just see a mirror, then we won't let you see one for awhile."
"Yeah, your already a bit of a narcissist!" Spike added.
Spyro smirked, "That may work... get me a mirror!"
Rainbow Dash replied with, "Whatever you say weirdo."
Spike ran upstairs, and came down with a hand, I mean hoof held mirror. He then put it in Spyro's claw.
"Okay, you all back away a bit, just so I can have more time to decide if this doesn't work." said Spyro.
The two pegasi and the smaller dragon backed away as commanded, and Spyro lifted his blindfold with the mirrior against his snout. With a few blinks, he looked at himself in the reflection.
"Aaaand nothing." said Spyro, "Maybe the potion just didnt' work..."
Suddenly, someone opened the front door, which was now right behind Spyro. In shock, Spyro turned around in a defensive stance, and saw Rarity.
"NO!" Yelled Spike and Rainbow, but it was too late.
"Hello?" asked Rarity, as a dragon stood infront of her.
Spyro's brain immediately got shot with a feeling of attraction. Immediately realizing his mistake, Spyro backed away, as his pupils shrank, and he blacked out.

Canterlot Castles was in a state of hustle at this point. With Princess Luna and her guards all being attacked, the Guard was already planning on their next moves against the strange Dragon.
Twilight Sparkle quickly strode through the hallway in Canterlot Castle Towards the Princess's medical ward. The guards look emotionless, as usual, but the note among other ponies in the castle was more somber, with less political chatter going on. The story was likely already in print on the national newspapers, as a princess getting nearly killed is usually something that get's a lot of attention.
Upon reaching the door at the end, the guards let Twilight in and closed the door behind her. Celestia looked up from talking to the doctors, and quickly approached her. The doctors whom were looking over notes looked up, and left the room through another door. Luna was unconscious in her curtain surrounded bed, which looked much more royal than most hospitals would offer.
"Thank you for coming Twilight. I understand you were trying to deal with your own situation, but this problem appears to be more immediate than I thought."
"It's nothing princess, I just want to help out as best I can." replied Twilight.
Celestia strode toward Luna, watching her with a bit of remorse, "Luna will survive, but she told me that the dragon that attacked her was using some foreign energy. She seemed so distraught, and she wanted to say more, but we had to get her to sleep to help her heal and all."
Twilight looked at Luna closely now, noticing strange dark lines across her coat.
"Foriegn energies?" asked Twilight, "Like a different type of magic?"
Celestia looked over to Twilight, "Not one bit of magic. a few claw marks, yes, but it was using some sort of energy, however it left no trace. Either it is very illusive or not what we think it is at all."
Twilight looked at Celestia, then over to Luna, "Well... the dragon that I encountered, Spyro, explained how he was from realms that had their own magic, but not ponies like us. Maybe since I could easily bring him here, this other Dragon came from the same place."
Celestia replied with a "Hmm." before she turned to Twilight, "You should look into that. Now that you bring it up, I have some languages to revisit that I have kept locked up for some time now. However, I want to you go back and head to the Crystal Empire, bring Spyro too, just keep an eye on him. The Dark Dragon has been keeping around the north, and we really should make sure it doesn't mess up the crystal heart or anything of the sort."
Twilight nodded, "Alright Princess."
"I will send a letter when I find what I am looking for, just keep your eyes open." said Celestia, before sending Twilight off.

Rarity had a very... unexpected surprise upon entering the library. It appeared the new orange winged purple scaled Dragon was really happy to see her, and now held her in a tight hug. Nothing else really, just a bear hug, though it was uncomfortable.
"Hmmm....." Said Rarity, as Spyro had her in a tight hug, "I... um... this is most... unexpected..."
"Oh dear.." said Rainbow, "It Appears you are his cuddle buddy until we fix him."
"So you saying you already broke the new dragon?" Said Rarity, trying to push Spyro away.
Fluttershy blushed, "Well, There was some love poison... and cookies, and well..."
Sparx stared at Spyro, and took a mental picture, just for laughs later. Spike on the other hand, looked to be steaming with jealousy. His Rarity, was there, being hugged by someone else. It wouldn't even be to bad if it was a pony, but another dragon?! Of all the circumstances, this is the most emotionally tearing, that could be him! It is as if some godly being in charge of the show put it together just for tragic irony.
Rarity simply replied, "Okay then.", before using her magic to pry Spyro off her, holding him upside down in the air.
"No! You need to be snuggled!" said Spyro struggling with Rarity's magic to get closer to her, "You are just so soft! Like those sheep that are so fun to burn, but you later use as pillows instead!"
"More like a marshmallow." said Rainbow Dash snarkily.
Spyro's now pink eyes widened, "Yes! A MARSHMALLOW!!!! It's perfect! Now let me hug you more, you need more dragon snuggles!"
Rarity glared at Rainbow Dash, "Alright, can you hold onto this while I go home and finish my job, since it appears Twilight isn't here."
Spike grumbled, grabbed Spyro out of his levetation in midair, and proceeded to drag him upstairs by his tail, "I got this."
"No! Wait! She needs to be hugged!" Exclaimed Spyro, as Sparx the Dragonfly simply laughed his high-pitched butt off.
"Well, I suppose I better help tie him up." Said Rainbow Dash.
Rarity sighed, "I'll be off then, still have to find Sweetie and her friends next, I thought they went to Fluttershy's."
Fluttershy gasped, as a muffled "But she's so adorable! Like those panda bear that jump on their heads and push bolders around!" was heard from upstairs.
"Your right Rarity, oh my, I completely forgot!" said Fluttershy, "I'm so sorry, I'll go back right now!"
"Your not the first to want her, orange horny gremlin!"
Rarity shurgged, "It's alright darling, we'll just get there together now. I understand why you forgot, considering the, circumstances."
"Rarity I command you! Hug me! Hug me! Hug me!!!"
"Stop acting like this!"
"I just want to be snuggled!"
"Be glad he doesn't want to go for any more bases," remarked Rainbow Dash, "I better get up their and deal with the drama."
"Alright Darling, see you soon!" said Rarity, as she and Fluttershy headed for the door.
"Yep, see yah Rare's." replied Rainbow.
"Oh Wait! I can breath fire!"
"You better hurry on out of here..." said Raibow Dash.
Author's Note
Dammit Fluttershy, you broke the Dragon.
This will be edited more tomorrow, it is more... rough, at the moment.
Also, there is hidden reference to a certain Cartoon Network show in here, pertaining to the opposite ability of Spyro's.
EDIT: I edited it to be prettier now. Not too mention, I put in another little easter egg.
