It was December 30th, and Spike and Twilight were at the local market picking up some grub and beverages, "Everything on the list all checked, Spike?" Twilight asked her adopted brother.
"Check and check," Spike answered as he inspected all the stuff they had in their cart, "I'm glad mom and dad decided to let us invite the girls over for a little get together."
"I know, and it makes it better since they'll be going to their own New Years Eve party." Twilight added.
"Well we got everything, let's head back." Spike suggested as they went to pay for everything and took it all back home. With most of the snow melted and less chilly out it was easier for them to walk back to their apartment.
Once they got in they started putting away their food and drinks, to save for tomorrow, "Well we got all our supplies, all that's left is to wait until tomorrow." Twilight explained.
"Works okay by me," Spike answered, "Now if you'll excuse me, Puck and Featherweight are waiting for me."
"You're going out again?" Twilight asked in confusion since they just got back.
"No," Spike answered, "There's an online RP game we just got into." he said as he went to his room.
He went to his bed and pulled up his laptop. He turned it on and went to a site known as Guardians of Galgavor. He signed into it and his avatar appeared, being a human knight with dragon claws, wings, and a tail, with a weapon of a knights sword. As his avatar appeared in an old village, he put on a pair of headphones with a mike attached and spoke into it, "Yo Puck, Featherweight. I made it!"
Suddenly appearing at his avatar's side was a dark mage character carrying a magical scepter, "Hey there's the Dragon Knight!" came Puck's voice as he was at his own computer and had a bluetooth headset to communicate with them.
"Necro Mage, looking good," Spike said as their avatar's bump fists, "Seen Kung-Pow, yet?"
"He should be here." Puck assured, as another avatar appeared by there's.
The newcomer avatar had upper body strength like a Saiyan and wore black martial arts training pants, coming from the avatar was Featherweight's voice who was communicating with them through headphones and a mike piece, "Sorry guys. Would've gotten here sooner, but my mom had me do laundry. You'd think it's not so bad, but when you have to fold your parent's unmentionables..."
"Say no more," Puck cut him off, "We'll leave it at that and pray to those who also have the disturbing job of what you just did."
So the three game avatars were roaming the village and forest terrain outside it taking up missions and collecting money and valuables along the way. As their game characters played, the players themselves conversed, "So guys any plans for New Years Eve?" Spike asked.
"I'm going to my mom's parents house for it." Featherweight explained as he has his avatar destroy a wolf monster.
"And I'm going to be watching reruns of Ninja Monkey Action Squad," Puck admitted, "So what about you?"
"Well Twilight and I are inviting the girls here for a party, while our parents will be out for the night." Spike explained as his avatar collected some gold found under a boulder.
"Whoa, that's awesome man!" Puck called, "You're gonna be alone with six gorgeous girls."
"Hey, one of them is my sister." Spike warned him about his choice of words.
"Sorry about that, but bottom line is you got it good for tomorrow night." Puck added.
"I know. I wish you guys could join me, but hey what can ya do?" Spike asked.
"Yeah, but hey we can always have a New Years day out." Featherweight suggested.
"That'd be cool." Puck admitted.
"For real." Spike agreed as he continued to play the RP game with his friends, until it was late.
The next day at 7 P.M, Twilight and Spike's parents Twilight Velvet and Night Light were dressed up and ready to leave, "Okay you two we're leaving." Night Light said.
"Ok, dad." The two answered.
"You have all our numbers just in case." Twilight Velvet noted.
"Yes mom, we know." Twilight assured her.
"And try not to get too crazy." Night Light teased them.
"Depends on your definition of 'too crazy.'." Spike joked back, as the adults left.
When the two left the building, Spike and Twilight looked to each other as the boy began, "Parent's out of the house, check."
"Which means we have exactly twenty minutes before the girls get here." Twilight added.
"Well then, let's get to work!" Spike suggested as his sister nodded in agreement and the two got right to it. Soon enough they had all their snacks and beverages prepared, "We finished." Spike sighed in relief.
"And not a moment to spare." Twilight added as they heard a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Spike said, as he went to the door. He opened it revealing the girls, "hi girls." he greeted them.
"Hi, Spike!" they cheered as they each stepped in, with Applejack playfully punching his shoulder, Fluttershy hugging him warmly, Pinkie hugging him a little too tight, Rainbow Dash giving him a noogey, and Rarity giving him a peck on the cheek, resulting him him blushing.
"So where's Twi?" Applejack asked as Twilight stepped in carrying a plate of treats.
"Right here, A.J." she answered as she sat the plate onto the coffee table.
"Ooh this is going to be sooooo good!" Pinkie cheered in excitement.
"Spike, can you get the rest of the refreshments?" Twilight requested her brother.
"On it, Twilight." Spike answered as he went to the kitchen and got each of the girls and himself a beverage. He passed each of the girls a beverage before he took a seat on the couch closest to Rarity.
"So what's on the agenda?" Rainbow inquired.
"Well first off, we'll be doing charades." Twilight answered.
"Oh boy, I love charades!" Pinkie cheered while clapping.
"Sounds good to me." Applejack agreed.
"Meh, I can dig it." Rainbow admitted.
"I'm ok with it." Fluttershy added.
"So could I." Rarity finished.
So for the next number of house, the group partook in games such as charades, card games, telling stories, even Rainbow Dash and Spike had a soda guzzling contest, and Rainbow Dash won. With only an hour till midnight, Twilight spoke up, "Well girls, and Spike. What next?"
Spike smiled, "I got an idea," he went to a boombox and plugged in an Ipod that started playing slow music, "Any of you ladies care to dance?" he asked turning to them.
"I would love to dance, Spike." Rarity said volunteering first.
"Well then," Spike said as he took her hand, "Follow my lead." he proceeded to dance with her as the girls watched Spike dance so gracefully.
"Guess he's good at slow dancin' as well as break dancin'." Applejack noted.
"You really got a rad brother, Twilight." Rainbow nudged her.
"Yeah, I sure do." Twilight smiled.
Soon Rarity grew tired, "Oh thank you for that, Spikey."
"Anytime, Rarity. Anytime," he replied as he looked to the other girls, "Any other takers?"
"I might fancy a little dance myself," Applejack admitted as she joined Spike, as he started leading her, "You're really good on your feet, sugarcube."
"I watch a lot of TV and such." he admitted sheepishly, before he twirled the girl.
"Ooh I want next!" Pinkie cheered.
"You mind?" Spike asked A.J.
"Not at all, sugarcube. Thanks for the dance." she hugged him. So Spike danced with Pinkie Pie for a bit, followed by Fluttershy who was nervous, but Spike assured her he wasn't going to let her look awkward. He finally danced a bit with both Twilight and even Rainbow Dash before the rainbow haired girl switched the music to real dance party music and the group was jumping with excitement.
Eventually the seven wore themselves out from so much dancing, and saw it was coming down to the wire being five minutes till midnight, "Ooh it's almost time!" Pinkie was clapping her hands repeatively.
"The last few minutes of this year." Applejack added.
"Come the new year there's going to be a lot more to look forward too." Twilight added.
"I know what ya mean," Spike agreed, "New semester which means other classes. Hope I can handle them."
"Hey you survived the first semester." Rainbow reminded him, while feeling proud of the boy.
Spike smiled and nodded, "Yeah, and it's thanks to all of you."
"Well there's nothing we wouldn't do for a dear friend of ours." Rarity hugged him.
"Girls look!" Fluttershy gasped as they saw only one minute left and the countdown was getting lower.
"Hold on everybody. HERE IT COMES!" Pinkie called as it struck midnight.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" the seven cheer as they wave and blow into noisemakers, while outside the apartment in the distance were fireworks being shot off.
"Welcome to the new year, guys." Twilight smiled.
"It's going to be so awesome." Rainbow cheered.
"Yeah, what could make this moment any better?" Spike asked them.
"I might know." Rarity answered as Spike turned to her.
"What's that Rarity?" he raised a brow while feeling puzzled
"This." she answered before pulling Spike into a kiss in front of the girls.
When they parted, Spike was blushing up a storm, "Sweet."
"That was a special kiss, Spikey-Wikey," Rarity began, "That was a New Year's kiss. Your first one of the new year and mine."
"Wicked." Spike answered with a smile.
"Hey!" Rainbow spoke up grabbing their attention, "I'd like a New Years kiss myself."
"Rainbow Dash, I do not swing in that direction." Rarity spoke up in outrage.
"Not from you, Rare," Rainbow cut her off, before smirking at Spike, "From Spike."
"What?" Rarity gasped.
"Me?" Spike gasped in surprise.
"Well duh. You see any other boys in here?" Rainbow asked, while motioning around the room, proving her point.
"Oh I got a great idea!" Pinkie called, "Let's all get a New Year's kiss from Spike!"
"What?" Spike, Twilight, and Rarity gasped.
"Well I wouldn't mind." Fluttershy admitted while blushing sheepishly.
"Not a bad idea, Pinkie." Applejack agreed.
"How about it?" Pinkie asked Twilight.
"But he's my brother." she answered.
"It doesn't have to be lips for you, Twilight. Silly girl." Pinkie ruffled Twilight's head.
"Well I guess." Twilight admitted, while straightening her hair.
"Whoa, hey I haven't signed off on this!" Spike waved his hands with intent on getting away.
"Get him!" Pinkie called as she jumped the boy and held him to the floor, "Who wants first?"
"Me of course," Rainbow said as she got above Spike looking down on him, "Pucker up, big boy," she leaned in and kissed Spike on the lips. He tried struggling, but melted like ice cream at the touch of her lips against his own. When they parted Rainbow smirked while looking down at the near dazed boy, "Awesome kiss, Spike." she winked.
"I guess I'll go," Fluttershy said as she approached, "So sorry, Spike." she leaned down and gently kissed him. She parted and constantly apologized, until Applejack approached.
"Well sugarcube, hope you're as ready as I am," the bumpkin girl puckered up and planted one on Spike who seemed to return it. When they parted, Applejack spoke, "That was better than I thought."
"My turn!" Pinkie cheered as she continued holding Spike down and leaned in pressing her lips against his. She pulled her lips off his and blushed with a smile, "Sweet!"
"Ok, Twilight, your turn." Rainbow said as Twilight looked down at her brother and smiled.
"Let's both have a great new year, Spike." she leaned down and pecked her brother on the cheek.
So Pinkie released Spike, and jumped to the girls hugging them, "Best New Years eve ever!"
"Got that right." Rainbow agreed.
Rarity spoke up, "Just so you know, you all may have gotten to kiss Spike. But I was his first kisser for the new year." she reminded them of how hers was special to him the most.
"And he was ours, too." Applejack put in, while Spike laid on the floor smiling like a goofball.
'This was a magical night.' he thought in enjoyment.
