The party has ended, and the Mane Six, excluding Rarity, were walking down a road of Ponyville.
Rainbow had a furious look on her face and Applejack chuckled.
"Upset about your tie with Sharp Air, Rainbow?" She asked with a smirk.
"No!" Rainbow spat out quickly.
"Well, Sweet Heart's mom is an earth pony and she's pretty strong. I beat her in some arm wrestling, and she beat me in some. I could even call her a rival.
Rainbow smirked. "Not as much as a rival as me I hope."
"Nope. Ya're still the most annoying."
Rainbow frowned. "Heey! What's that supposed to mean?"
The others chuckled.
"Sweet Heart's such a sweetie. She's really nice and adorable." Fluttershy said happily.
"I've talked to her grandmother. And did you know that she's talented with magic?! I know right? I could swear that she's as talented as Starswirl the Bearded himself!" She received odd looks. "Okay, maybe not as talented..." The looks continued. "What?"
Pinke bounced in between the four. "Wasn't that the best party ever?!" She yelled.
"Pinkie, all your parties are the best," Rainbow informed.
Pinkie giggled and waved a hoof. "Aww, you're just saying that..."
Spike flew above Ponyville. The sky was beginning its orange stage.
The drake was on his way to Carousel Boutique, on his way to Sweetie Belle. Passing recognizable buildings and structures with their magic lights on, illuminating the orange sky and somewhat dark streets. Only a few ponies were outside, most coming from the party Pinkie threw.
He soon was near his fillyfriend's home. He started to slow his speed and start to descend. And when he touched down in front of the building, he deactivated his wings in a flame and walked forward to the front door.
He let himself in, not needing to knock or anything since they were expecting him. And he was greeted by the warm smile of Sweetie Belle.
"Hiya Spike!"
"Hello, my princess." Spike said with droopy eyes.
"Spiiike!" Sweetie whined with a blush.
Spike giggled.
"As much as I like it when you call me that, don't do it when Rarity's around!" She pouted.
"Aww don't say that Sweetie." Rarity's voice said from the other room. "I think it suits you well."
Sweetie sat down and crossed her forelegs.
"Are you two ready? We're going in five minutes!" Rarity said.
The two said they were ready and Spike decided to sit down beside Sweetie Belle to wait for the older sister.
"So, ready to meet my parents?" Sweetie asked,
"Well... I already did before."
Sweetie tilted her head. "Really? When?"
"One time when I was assisting Rarity," Spike explained.
"Oh. Well... that was Used Assistant Spike. They have to meet the new Awesome Spike."
Spike chuckled nervously.
"I can't wait to introduce you. It's going to be so great."
Spike looked down without Sweetie noticing his worried look. "Yeah... it is."
Suddenly, Rarity's pet Opal came around the corner into the room. She spotted Spike and walked up to him.
Spike didn't notice the cat that came up to him as his head was down, and he soon felt soft fur brush against his leg. "Sweetie Belle," *Giggles* "Stop. That tickl-" He looked down at where his leg was being brushed and he saw Opal. "Oh, uhh... hey Opal." The pet purred. "Yeah, I'm alright." Spike gave her a smile.
The white cat pointed to Sweetie Belle.
"What? What about Sweetie?"
Opal meowed and kept pointing between Spike and Sweetie Belle.
Spike grew a confused look and scratched his head.
The cat meowed again then suddenly scowled as she was picked up by two white hooves.
"You are coming as well, Opal. I can't wait to see mother's reaction to your improved coat." Rarity said happily, oblivious to the angry cat in her grasp.
"Uhh... Rarity?"
"No need for assistance Spike! It's alright!" She called.
Spike tried to reach out a claw to Opal but shrugged. "Eh, she'll be alright."
*****
After a couple of minutes, Rarity and Opal were ready.
"Let's be on our way you two!" She blinked.
Spike and Sweetie were flushing.
Rarity blinked again with a smile on her face. "Come on. Let's not be late." She headed for the door.
Spike and Sweetie looked at each other and smiled. Spike got up and took hold of Sweetie's hoof, pulling her up too.
"Such a gentledrake." Sweetie said in a classy voice.
"Anything for a fancy lady," Spike said, also in character.
Sweetie giggled. "Come on, let's go." Sweetie and Spike headed for the door, more specifically for Rarity.
After a couple minutes of walking, the four were-
"Wait? Why are we walking? It's getting dark and your parents live way in Fillydelphia." Spike explained. He gave them no chance to reply, as in a green flame they all teleported.
Fillydelphia
In front of a house, a green flame appeared. Some ponies stared at it since they knew where it came from.
Where the flame disappeared now stood two ponies, a dragon, and a small cat.
"Let's go. Thanks, Spike." Rarity said happily.
"You're welcome." He said as he walked beside Sweetie Belle, following Rarity.
They approached the front door and Rarity rang the doorbell.
Spike's heart was racing. Any time now he would know the official outcome of the re-meeting with his fillyfriend's parents.
Just behind the door, Spike could hear footsteps coming closer and closer.
This was it.
The door opened.
"Rarity! Sweetie Belle! Prince Spike! Welcome!" Hondo Flanks greeted.
"Just 'Spike' is fine mister," Spike said kindly albeit nervously.
"Alright, Spike. Come on in, all of you."
"At least the introduction went well."
Hondo Flanks walked them to the living room after he let them in. And there was Sweetie Belle's mom sitting on a couch.
"Hello, my little majestic angels. How are all of you-" She grew mildly surprised at the sight of Spike, but then put on the warmest smile she could muster. "Why hello Pri-"
"J-Just 'Spike' is fine, Ms. Crumbles."
"Well then, hello Spike, my soon-to-be son-in-law." She teased.
"Uhh..." Spike was at a lost for words. he was blushing madly.
"Oh mom, isn't it too early to be thinking about such things?" Rarity said with a smile.
"I don't get it." Sweetie Belle told.
Spike leaned in to whisper to her. "She's talking about marriage." Sweetie was still confused. "O-Our marriage..."
Sweetie's eyes widened. "Moooooom!" She whined.
Everyone, excluding Spike, started to laugh.
"That's not for another, like, a gazillion years!" She said frustrated.
"Oh ho ho," Her father laughed, "She's just teasin' pumpkin. Now come along, your mother made dinner."
And with that, everyone went on their way to the kitchen except Rarity and Spike.
"Now that wasn't so bad, was it Spike?" Rarity asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Rarity giggled. "Twilight told me how you were getting worried how our parents wouldn't like you or something like that."
Spike scratched the back of his head in shame. "Yeah, it was for... reasons."
"Well anyhow, let's go eat." Rarity made her way into the kitchen.
Spike was about to go but was greeted by Sweetie Belle's parents, Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumbles.
"Uhh... hey."
They were both smiling down at him.
"W-What's up?"
"The ceiling." Cookie Crumbles answered.
"Uhh... y-yeah! You're right! Well, I'm just gonna go ea-"
"Spike."
"Y-Yeah Mr. Flanks."
Hondo looked down on him with a warm smile. "Take good care of our sweet little Sweetie Belle, would you?"
"...Y-Yeah, or course."
"And be sure to get us some gran-"
"Honey!"
"O-Oh right. Just a kid." Crumbles giggled to herself.
They both walked to the kitchen with Spike in tow.
Spike blew a sigh of relief, this was going perfectly-
A voice called from the table. A male voice.
"Spike, about our house being destroyed."
...
...
...
"FU-"
Next Time On Season Spike
Spike and Twilight find a mysteriously injured baby dragoness outside of their home. With the lack of knowledge the local doctors have on dragons, the two decide to take her in their castle and care for her.
