2. Meeting the Gang

“Man, that was some great sushi, Twi! You were right, the Gemstone Roll does have the right amount of crunch to it!” Spike said as they walked out of the restaurant.

Twilight beamed, “I knew you would like it!”

Spike chuckled, “Yeah, it’s delicious! Thanks Twilight!”

“No prob!” She said as they walked on the sidewalk. When they were about to go eat, she decided not to tell him about the party that was being thrown for him, wanting to keep it as a surprise. Speaking of which… “Hey, want some desert and coffee? I know a great bakery that’s open till 8 PM just three blocks from here!”

“Really? Okay, cool! Let’s go then!” Spike said with a smile.

They walked three blocks, enjoying the sights and sounds of the city, eventually reaching a bakery marked ‘Sugar Cube Corner’.

“Here it is!” Twilight said, confirming this was the one.

Spike noticed that the window blinds were closed in the bakery and read a sign on the door that said ‘Closed for private party’. “Um…Twi? It’s said here that it’s closed.” he said in confusion.

Twilight smirked, “I think we can still go inside.” She opened the door – ringing a bell - and went inside, making Spike feel a little unsure if he wanted to interrupt whatever was going on in the bakery. Either way he followed Twilight in the bakery to find…

SURPRIIIIIIISE~!!” exclaimed a happy voice.

“Oof!” Spike grunted, blinking as he felt a presence on his chest. He looked down to see a puff of pink hair, which belonged to a short woman of 5’3” wearing an apron, a short sleeved yellow shirt, skinny jeans, and ballet shoes. Her head was on his chest as her arms were around his body, hugging him tightly. He could feel the pressure constricted him by the hug.

'Ack! Dang, this girl is strong for someone short!’

“Pinkie, do you always do that, even to strangers?” Twilight rolled her eyes with a smirk.

The girl known as Pinkie let go and giggled, “Aww, but then I can’t make them feel special if I don't!”

Spike, recovering from the bone-crushing hug, looked at the girl who just glomped him.

Spike blinked again and stared at the cheery individual.

This Pinkie woman was, again, short, but had a curvy pear shape physique, and was pretty filled in the legs and hips department, making the latter stand out as they jutted out, along with her thin waist. Her chest was also jutting out a little through the apron, making her size probably the same as Twilight, a nice full grown C-cup. But her face most of all was so cute, with her eyes a vibrant baby-blue, and an ever cheery smile present, which was infectious that Spike couldn’t help but smile himself.

Deciding to be the first to say something, Spike started, “Um, hi! I’m guessing you must be Pinkie?”

Pinkie giggled once more, “Yep! And you must be Spike!”

“Huh? Um…y-yes? How did you know?” Spike said in surprise.

“Well, some people say that I’m psychic, but that’s when something bad happens – oh, but nothing too bad mind! Just you know, the occasional slipping on a banana peel or something like that -, but I guess I could be REALLY psychic! One time, when I met my sister’s fiancé, I asked him if his name was -”

“I told her your name, Spike.” Twilight interjected with a sheepish smile.

“Heeey, come on Twi! I was getting there!” Pinkie pouted.

Twilight chuckled, “Sorry, Pinkie.”

“Wait, you told your friend Pinkie here that I was coming to this bakery?” Spike asked as he raised an eyebrow.

“Actually, Darling, I told her you were coming when Twilight told me that you were in town.” Said a feminine refined voice.

Spike turned his attention to glance…

…at one stunning looking woman.

Spike’s eyes widened tenfold.

Walking towards them in high heels was an absolutely gorgeous woman, with flowing long purple hair that was styled and curled to give it a bouncy look. One wave of hair was tossed to the right side of her beautiful face, which consisted of long delicate eyelashes, a little bit of light blue eyeshadow, lipstick on her full lips, and was wearing red designer glasses behind her dark blue eyes. Her attire was a short white designer coat, with designer skinny jeans that REALLY hugged her hips, which Spike also noticed from looking at her figure that she was quite curvaceous as well, while lastly, her footwear consists of purple high heels.


While Pinkie was short and a thick at the waist down, this woman was a little tall - she could be Twilight’s height without the high heels – and had some toned thickness in her legs, which her jeans hugged her legs and thighs quite nicely. Again, her hips certainly showed that she might have an hourglass figure.

All in all, Spike had never seen anyone so beautiful…

…Well, that wasn’t true. He encountered plenty of pretty and beautiful girls while he was in college. And not to sound cheesy or weird, but Twilight was beautiful as well. Heck, even the woman he met now named Pinkie was beautiful.

But this woman right here… had smitten him.

“U-Uh…u-um,” Spike said dumbly, a blush on his face.

“Hello there! You must be this marvelous Spike I’ve heard so much about from Twilight! My name is Rarity!” she smiled and extended her arm out to shake his hand.

For a second, he snapped out of his trance and noticed that her hand was in front of him to be shaken, “Oh! Um, h-hello! U-Uh…T-Twilight told you about me?” he asked as he took her hand to shake. ‘Wow, her hand feels so soft…’

Rarity giggled, “Indeed she has! Is it true that you want to become a novelist?”

“U-Um, y-yes!” Spike stuttered, wishing he didn’t let her hand go, but had to at some point. “U-Um, I, uh, am trying to a write fantasy novel!”

Twilight, sensing that her ‘brother’ was enamored by the beautiful fashionista, rolled her eyes with a smirk. She decided to step in to save his tail before he embarrassed himself any further, “Rarity and I thought we would plan a party for you. In me and my friends’ opinions, Pinkie has the best baked goods in the city. Speaking of my friends, they’re coming by here any moment now to welcome you!”

Spike turned to Twilight and blinked in astonishment, "Really? Wow, Twi, you really didn’t have to do this.”

Twilight smiled cutely, “Are you kidding? I wanted the whole gang to meet my little bro!”

From behind Spike and Twilight, the bell above the door rung as it opened, and a quiet voice spoke out, “Sorry I’m late, I was… oh dear. I really am late, aren’t I?”

Spike turned to the soft voice to meet another beautiful woman…

He once again blinked.

The woman in front of him was also short, but not as short as Pinkie. In fact, she was around two inches taller, making her 5’5”. Her attire was of a yellow turtleneck sweater, with some light brown form fitting khaki jeans, and her footwear consisted of strapped sandals.

This woman definitely looked gorgeous in her own right, her figure was also shaped like an hourglass, and her long light pink hair flowed like a curtain, giving off a natural bounce to it. Her hair at the front framed her face beautifully as part of it was covering her left eye.

However, the noticeable thing about this woman was her very impressive… chest.

Her bust certainly was big and full, much to the point that they could almost be a DD cup, and the turtleneck she was wearing certainly made them fuller.

“Uh… hi.” Spike says, trying hard not to look at her boobs that were jutting out of the sweater.

The pretty woman looked at the green haired male with her beautiful aqua eyes, “Oh! H-Hello. I-I’m sorry if I’m late. You must be Spike, right?” she says a little bashfully.

“Um…yes.”

“Oh! W-well then, I should introduce myself then. Um, sorry, I guess I should’ve said that first… m-my name is Fluttershy.” The woman known as Fluttershy said, blushing from embarrassment.

“Oh, well…” Spike chuckled with a smile, “Hello Fluttershy!”

This made her blush even more.

‘Aww… this Fluttershy gal is too adorable.’ Spike thought.

“Hey Fluttershy!” Twilight said, appearing beside Spike, “Don’t worry about being late. We know you need to tend to the animals. Besides, Applejack and Rainbow haven’t arrived yet, so you’re actually pretty early.”

“Oh, well, t-that’s good. W-Well, not good for Applejack and Rainbow. N-Not that I’m blaming them that they’re late, b-but…oh dear.” She stuttered, deciding to not say anything else.

“Oh darling, we know what you’re trying to say, you don’t have to explain it.” Rarity reassured her with a smile.

“Oh…o-okay…” Fluttershy felt relief for that, but her face was still red.

“Well, we got four down, including me, and two more to go!” Pinkie said happily, “I’ll go prepare the treats and get them out! Ex-cuuuuse me~!” she sang as she turned around to head to the kitchen to fetch the confections, all the while her jeans emphasizing her very full round rear. It didn’t help as she skipped over to the kitchen, making her butt jiggle just a bit in her jeans.

Spike looked on in wide eyed interest at the retreating figure. Realizing for a second that he was staring, he turned his attention back the light pink haired, top heavy woman, trying to not make himself look like a weirdo, “So, um…you care for animals?”

Fluttershy started, “Oh, um, yes! I own a pet shop at the corner of Everfree and Libman. I, um, take care and shelter animals.”

“Aww, that’s nice.” Spike smiled.

“Oh, well, t-thank you. I just couldn’t let those poor little cats and dogs to be out on the street searching for food and trying to live in those conditions. Oh dear, just thinking about it makes me worry for the poor little things.” Fluttershy said in heartfelt concern.

“Well that’s very admirable of you to rescue animals out in the streets of this big city.” Spike praised her.

Fluttershy blinked, and blushed tenfold as she looked bashful, “W-W-Well, um…t-t-thank you S-Spike for the kind w-words.”

Spike chuckled warmly.

The bell above the door rang once more, “Ah, well shoot! Looks like I’m late for tha welcomin’ party!” said a feminine southern drawl.

Spike turned his head at the entrance to see yet another beautiful woman…

This woman looked to be a little taller, around 5’10” to be exact. Even though she was on the tall side, she certainly had a curvaceous figure, as it showed through her attire, which consisted a pair of light denim jeans, a white shirt (which her bust was quite big as well, probably being a D-cup) with a red and black plaid jacket over it, and cowgirl boots for footwear. Her cheeks were sprinkled with freckles that has that cute tomboyish look to her facial features, while her eyes shone a pretty green. Her hair was blonde and long, but she put it in a unique ponytail that actually made it look like an actual pony’s tail. To complete her look, she has a brown Stenson hat resting on her head.

Her figure however, although curvy, look quite… toned. He could tell from the sleeves of her long jacket that her arms had a little feminine muscle on them. Her attractive legs look toned and thick with muscle as well, looking like they filled in her jeans quite nicely. Spike noticed as he couldn’t help but take a brief glance at her legs.

‘Wow…thunder thighs.’ Spike quickly looked up from the blonde cowgirl-looking woman’s legs and up to her face, making sure he contains his blush. “Uh…hi.”

The cowgirl looked at Spike with a smile, “Well, howdy! You must be this Spike feller I’ve heard so much about!” she stuck out her hand in greeting, “Name’s Applejack!”

Spike blinked. So far, these friends of Twilight have been attractive women. Not that he’s complaining or anything, but does she have any male friends at all that he could hang out with?

“Uh…yes I am.” Spike answered as he shook her hand, which was soft with callouses, probably from doing hard work. She shook his hand rather hard, so he tried to return it with much force. “Nice to meet you Applejack.” He said with a smile.

Applejack chuckled cutely, “Likewise.” She released his hand, “Boy howdy! That was a good hand shake thar, partner! Do you do a little liftin’?”

Spike blushed a tad bit, “Well, I kind of do. I work out in the gym back at Canterlot.”

“Ah, I see! Well, you do look like you can lift yourself some crates of apples there with them arms!” she winked at him.

Spike blushed bashfully, “Um… t-thank you.”

Twilight giggled at the scene that was playing out, “Well, only one remains.” she reminds everyone

Applejack rolled her eyes, “Leave it to Rainbow Dash to make a dramatic entrance.”

“Oh, I hope she can make it. I bet being a traffic cop is certainly exhausting.” Fluttershy said in concern.

“I don’t know how a woman like her can do it, honestly.” Rarity commented.

As if on cue, another cute looking woman with long fierce rainbow hair(which she kept in a ponytail) and deep magenta eyes came into the bakery, looking exhausted.

“UGH! Sorry if I’m late! I had to get dressed and feed Tank before I got here, and you know how the little guy gets!” the woman says.

The rainbow haired girl was dressed in a simple black jacket with a white shirt under it, along with some black sweatpants with white stripes on each side of the legs, and purple tennis shoes. Her height looked to be an inch taller than Spike, 5’9” to exact, and she had a lean physique, although she did have some nice hips protruding through her sweatpants. She also seems to be a little small-chested, as she has noticeable small mounds on her chest through the white t-shirt.

The woman then noticed Spike and said with a smile, “Hey! You must be the man of the hour! Spike, isn’t it? What’s up? The name’s Rainbow Dash!” she stuck out her hand for a shake.

Spike smiled, “Yep! Nice to meet you, Rainbow!” he said as he shook her hand.

“You too!” she smirked teasingly, “You know, Twilight didn’t mention you were cute.”

Spike started and blushed, “W-What?”

“Rainbow!” Twilight scolded at Rainbow in shock.

“Well I gotta admit, he is a mighty cute feller!” Applejack smirked as well.

Twilight turned to Applejack in shock as well, her mouth hanging open. Applejack shrugged, “Hey, I call em like I see em.”

“Oh stop it you two!” Rarity scolded them, coming up beside Spike, “You’re embarrassing him!” She laid a hand on his shoulder and gave him a sweet smile. “Why don't we get this little get-together started? Come, sit down darling.” She gestured a seat near a table.

“U-Um, okay.” Spike replied, still blushing as he took a seat.

Soon, Pinkie came in with some sweets on a roller tray. “Al-righty! Here are the treats! The man of the hour gets one first~!” she sang. She rolled them beside Spike, letting him observe the confections. They were all little cupcakes, eclairs and cookies, each with different colorful icing and different fillings for the eclairs. The freshly baked aroma was making Spike’s mouth water at the tasty looking goodies, tempting him to grab one at the moment.

“Wait, so…I get first dibs?” Spike asked.

Pinkie giggled, “Of course, silly! You’re the special guest!”

“Wow…okay then.” And with that, Spike picked up a decorative cookie and took a bite of it, pausing as he savored the cookie. He swallowed and said, “Wow… that is good.”

Pinkie giggled again, “Well, I’m just so glad it is! And I just made hot cocoa if you want some with it!”

“Hey, now that sounds great!” Spike happily obliged.

Pinkie beamed, “Super! Does anyone else want any?”

“I’ll get me some of that!” Rainbow exclaims excitedly.

“Sure thing!” said Applejack with a smile.

“That would be nice.” Fluttershy shyly said.

“Oh that would be marvelous!” Rarity says in a chipper tone.

Twilight decided to let Rainbow’s and Applejack’s comment slide and says with a smile, “That would be great!”

An hour passed, and Twilight and her friends were still chatting with Spike. Spike himself was getting to really know Twilights friends, as they had a distinct personality to each of them. Rarity and Fluttershy were certainly lady-like, whereas Applejack and Rainbow Dash were tomboyish, and Pinkie Pie was just full of positive energy. They all enjoyed their hot cocoa when Twilight brought about his college days in Canterlot.

“Wow, it must be nice over there at Canterlot. I never been there, but I heard that it’s full of history.” Fluttershy says as she gingerly sips her cocoa.

“Yeah, that’s where the eggheads go, right?” Rainbow asked curiously.

“Rainbow!” Twilight scolded.

“Hey, I’m not judging!” Rainbow stated.

Spike chuckled however, “It’s okay, Twi! Figuratively speaking, yeah, that’s where the smart people go to. I got a degree in journalism, though. I’ve been doing periodical articles for a while, until I decided to write a book.”

“Periodical articles? Wow, I don’t know how you can sit down and write those things! I bet they’re really boooo-ring!” Pinkie emphasized.

“Yeah, which is why I quit doing them. I even already have a plot and world layout that I have in mind for my book series.” Spike said as he sipped his cocoa.

“Oh do tell! What’s it about?” Rarity asked, truly interested.

Spike blushed at the woman’s curiosity, “Well, it’s about a female mage befriending a human-ish dragon male, who’s actually a young prince that’s escaping his kingdom because of its tyranny. They’re trying to fight and oppose the dragon kingdom’s reign across their world, all the while facing obstacles.”

“Oh cool! So it’s like an adventure?” Rainbow asks with a smile.

“Yeah, pretty much.” Spike nods with smile as well.

“Hmm. Sounds pretty good already! You got you some good buildin’ blocks for a potential story, Spike!” Applejack praised.

“Yeah!” Pinkie excitedly, “I agree with Applejack, this sounds super good already! I would buy this bad boy in a heartbeat!”

Spike blushed at the compliment, “Well, it’s still in development.”

“Oh, well, um, in that case, can I, um, can I ask something that’s related to your story then, Spike?” Fluttershy asked timidly.

“Sure!” Spike said, feeling elated to know that people were interested in his story idea.

“Well, um, this mage woman and the dragon prince… will they be a couple?” Fluttershy asks, blushing as she said it.

“Well, I am trying to put in some forbidden romance in there as well.” Spike answers with smirk.

“Ooooh! Forbidden romance?! That sounds absolutely marvelous!” Rarity said with such interest.

Twilight smiled at her friend’s praise for her adoptive brother, “Yep, Spike was quite the writer back in his school days! He was ahead of all the kids in his essays and in his written responses. He even writes great Daring Doo fanfiction.”

“Daring Doo fanfiction!?” Rainbow exclaimed with a happy grin. “You like Daring Doo!?”

Spike blinked, “Well, um, yeah. It’s a classic book series. Do you like it?”

“Like it!? I don’t just like it; I love it! I’m a Daring Doo fanatic! She’s like my fictional role model! I have all the volumes, movies, comic specials, even the merchandise!”

“Even the merchandise?” Spike asked in interest.

“You better believe it!” Rainbow Dash fished in her sweatpants pocket to get out a keychain with the character Daring Doo on it, “Check it! A little Daring bling!”

Spike chuckled, “Wow, cool! Well in that case, which one was your favorite book?”

“Well, I thought all of them are great! But I guess the first one always has a special place in my heart, since it’s the origin story.” Rainbow smirked. “So, you write fanfiction of Daring Doo?”

“Well, yeah, when I was younger.” Spike answered, blushing a tad bit.

Twilight smirked, “He writes them on the Daring Doo fanfiction site, Daring Fiction.”

“Aw come on Twi, don’t embarrass me.” Spike said with an even redder timid blush.

Rarity giggled, “Oh don’t be embarrassed, darling! I think it’s a great hobby for you to test out your writing skills!”

Spike couldn’t stop the blush on his face from getting even more red. “Well, it was fun writing them…”

“Hmm, I’ve been to that site! What’s your penname?” Rainbow asks in curiosity.

Spike smiled bashfully, “It's TheDrake5.”

“What!?” Rainbow exclaimed, startling him and the girls (Fluttershy ‘eeped!’). “You’re that author!? Dude, are you pulling my leg?”

Spike blinked, “Um… no, I’m really him.”

Rainbow stared at him in awe. “…You make the best Daring Doo fanfictions out there.”

“Uh…w-well, I-I just try to make it sound nice. I’m certain they’re others out there that are good writers.” Spike said, feeling shy at the admiration.

“Are you serious!? You’re one of the top great Daring Doo fanfic authors on the site!” Rainbow said in excitement.

“Golly Rainbow, it sounds like you just met a celebrity.” Applejack said with a chuckle.

“He might as well be!” Rainbow says with her eyes sparkling with delight at Spike, “If you can make those Daring Doo fanfics outstanding, then I have no doubt in my mind you can make a great story out of what you’re writing!”

Spike was beyond red right now. “Uh, w-well, uh… t-thanks.” He said timorously, but flattered all at the same time.

Pinkie giggled, “It looks like you have a fan now, Spike! Of course, I’m interested in it too! I like fantasy stuff!” her expression then turned super serious, “It will have a happy ending, right?”

“Oh dear, I hope it does.” Fluttershy says, “I really wouldn’t like a sad ending. I mean, if it has a reason behind it, then okay, but…well, if you really want to include one, then I won’t stop you. I’m sure it’ll be great though.”

Spike smiled, “Don’t worry, it’ll have a happy ending.”

“Oh, well, that’s good…” Fluttershy said, letting out a brief sigh of relief.

“Hmm…okay. I’ll take your word for it!” Pinkie said with a happy smile.

The young man chuckled, “Believe me, I don’t like sad endings all that much either. I plan to make the ending of my book series a traditional good feeling ending.”

“Well, I’m sold!” Applejack says, “I do like me a good feeling read!”

“Oh yes! I think the dynamic between the mage woman and the dragon prince would be absolutely engaging!” Rarity said dreamily.

“Hey, if he can make those great Daring Doo fanfics, then I’m certain it’ll be epic!” Rainbow praised.

“Actually, what will you call your book series, Spike?” Twilight asks him with a smile.

Spike put a hand on his chin, “Hmm…I’ve been thinking of calling it Dragon’s Code, because the dragons have a code to helping those who are in need. They usually give to their race, but the dragon prince gives the code to the mage woman.”

“Oh, I definitely smell a potential romance!” Rarity squealed.

As they continued to talk more about Spike’s story, Twilight just sat there next to Spike and gazed at him with a happy smile. It certainly was a great idea that he met her good friends and that they held a great interest in her adoptive brother’s book idea. It looked as it gave him more confidence, and that’s what Twilight wanted Spike to feel; confident.

000

As soon the get-together was over, they all exited the bakery. The time was 9:40 PM, so they had been there for a while. What Spike noticed was that they were walking in a group. It made him pretty curious.

“Hey, um… aren’t you all going home?” he asked the Twilight’s friends.

Pinkie giggled, “We are, silly!”

“Oh! Uh-heh, actually Spike, I forgot to tell you. All of us live in the same apartment complex.” Twilight said sheepishly.

Spike’s eyes widened in surprise, “Really?”

“Not only that, but we live on the same floor!” Rainbow added.

“Wha!? Really?” Spike said in shock.

“Yeah! Looks like we’ll be neighbors now!” Applejack smirked teasingly.

“That, um…won’t be a problem, will it?” Fluttershy asks in question.

“Oh, no, it’s just…well, talk about being close to each other!” Spike chuckled.

Rarity giggled, “The circumstances are pretty funny! I was actually the first one living on the sixth floor of our apartment complex during the time, but then came Fluttershy and Pinkie, as well as Rainbow and Applejack in pairs! And of course lastly, in came Twilight!”

“Yep! Fluttershy and I are roommates, and Rainbow and Applejack too!” Pinkie informed with a grin.

“Yep! We all became a tight-knit bunch ever since!” Applejack said.

“Wow… well, I guess that means I’ll see you all often then!” Spike said with a smile.

“You better believe it!” Rainbow smiled.

As soon as they reached to the apartment complex building and gone up the elevator to their floor(which Spike felt a little uncomfortable being in close quarters with the girls), they all said their farewells and entered their apartment rooms.

As soon as Spike let Twilight in and closed the door, he said, “I got to say, you have some cool friends there, Twi.”

Twilight smiled at the compliment, “Thanks! I really am glad to have friends like them. They do make for enjoyable company in the big city.”

“Well, hey, you got me as a roommate now, too! You'll be twice as not alone now.” Spike said with a cheerful smile.

Twilight smiled gratefully at him. “That I will!”

Spike chuckled.

Twilight’s mouth then formed a smirk as she took off her jacket, “Speaking of my friends, you certainly were comfortable with them.”

“Well, yeah, like I said, they were pretty cool-” Spike blinked for a moment, “Wait… what do you mean?”

She put the jacket on her couch, smirk still on her face, “Oh come on now, I saw you checking them out, especially Rarity.”

Spike blushed, “W-Well, um, uh-”

Twilight giggled, “Don’t worry about it. Although, you do need to control your body temperature better.”

Spike blushed even further. “Well… they are really pretty, especially Rarity.”

Twilight rolled her eyes, “Just don’t get any ideas.”

“Hey, come on Twi, I’m not like that. I’ve been raised better.”

Twilight chuckled, “I know. But you’re still a guy, and I can remember a time you had those magazines under your bed-”

“They were Shining Armor’s!” Spike defended himself with a frown.

Twilight snickered, “Well, my big dumb brother shouldn’t have given you those.”

Spike flushed once more, “Hey, I’m a gentleman through and through. I treat you well too, you know.”

Now Twilight blushed a little bit, “Yeah, you do treat me well.” She smiled sweetly, “And I couldn’t have a better gentleman of a brother either way.”

Spike smiled as well, “Aw, thanks. I’m glad to hear that, Twi.”

Twilight beamed. “No problem.” She then said, “Hey, do you want to stay up later and play some Scrabble like old times?”

Spike chuckled, “Well, given all the sugar I’ve consumed, I might be tired a little bit, so I’m thinking of heading to bed. Maybe another time.”

“Aww, okay.” Twilight pouted.

He laughed, “Don’t worry, we’ll play Scrabble sometime later this week.” Spike then had a contented smile, “This was fun, Twi. I appreciate you letting me meet your friends.”

She smiled back at him, “Absolutely.”

Then Spike went up to Twilight and gave her a hug. She blushed a tad, but she returned it nonetheless with a kind smile.

But then, Spike pulled back and pecked a kiss on Twilight’s cheek, “Thanks again, Twi.”

Twilight’s face was now red as she blinked, “Uh… n-no prob!”

Spike blinked as well, but then smiled. ‘Heh-heh, she’s so cute when she’s flustered.’ “Well, good night!” he then let her go and went to his room.

“N-night!” Twilight stuttered.

Twilight was alone in her living area…

Twilight gulped… she then shook her head. ‘Oh stop it! That meant nothing! It was a sibling kiss, nothing more! You got to remember that he’s technically your BROTHER. Adoptive, yes, but he’s still your brother!’

More silence on her part…

She sat on the couch with a sigh. ‘Maybe a little reading will settle my thoughts.’

She got the same book off the coffee table and began reading once more… until she paused and said, “I still don’t regret having him here at all though.” She said to herself with a happy smile. She then went back to reading…
