It had been a special day for Songbird; the last stop on her Equestrian tour: Ponyville. While it hadn't been on the tour originally, it'd been added as a thank you to the princess for saving them all from the Storm King. In addition to this, to give that thank you a little extra kick, all tickets had been sold at a steep discount. They promptly sold out in less than a minute; something that wasn't unusual for her. She had been getting ready for that very show when it happened…
A monster attacked out of nowhere! Apparently, this was something so common that the citizens of the town barely noticed it was happening; they just avoided the street while the chaos was happening and went about their day. Unfortunately for her, she had been on said street when the monster, a leopard with a snake tail and a snake neck as long as a giraffe, attacked. The townsfolk had silently, and with great precision left the area before the monster had gotten to close. Songbird, on the other hand, had panicked and hid from view, but by the time she realized what the town folk were doing, it was too late for her to flee. She'd considered flying, but then the snake-cat had spit a stream of acidic venom vertically down the street, and she didn't want to test its aim.
Now she was standing in silence as three ponies went at trying to extract it: A blue pegasus was flying overhead, irritating it with on again, off again rain from a few clouds, a yellow pegasus was trying to talk it down for some reason, and a pink earth pony was bombarding it with a confetti cannon. Songbird stepped back from the wall she was using as cover, intending to move farther into the restaurant for better cover, when a shadow covered her. She turned and was met with the sight of a dragon, standing about her height, standing in front of her.

Spike had been out for lunch with three of his friends when the Serpopard had attacked. While his three friends were dealing with it, he did his usual task and checked for any poor soul who wasn't used to this kind of thing. After directing a griffin to just walk out the back door and fly to any other part of town, he had walked into the next building and found himself standing before the pop idol; Songbird Serenade. He was struck speechless when it happened. Songbird watched as the Serpopard spat some acid at the bottom of their wall. The pillar she had been standing behind toppled towards them and Spike turned just in time to headbutt it. Songbird watched as it cracked over his head, and after the dust settled, found that she was standing in a nice clean circle surrounded by a collapsing building.
Spike blinked, "That fucking thing spits acid!?" He thought as he took a step back in shock. In doing so, he slipped and swung his arms out to balance himself. As he did this the serpopard threw a rock at Pinkie with its tail, she jumped out of the way as the rock flew at Songbird. Just as it was about to hit her was when Spike had over corrected and, quite accidentally, smacked it to the ground as he tried to save himself from falling. After a moment he caught himself and rubbed his wrist before turning to Songbird, who was staring at him in awe. From her point of view, he'd just headbutted a collapsing building away from her, and bitch smacked some sort of projectile masterfully.
Spike offered her his hand, "Might I suggest we move before it spits at us again?" he asked. Songbird was speechless as he took her hand, and felt her legs turn to jelly beneath her. Spike felt her drop and only just caught her. He picked her up, princess style, and booked it through the debris. Once they had made it down the street, Spike skidded to a halt. Songbird watched as he turned to look at her, his green eyes sparkled in the light as he looked down at her. "You alright?" He asked.
"Never better." She replied, sheepishly, as he set her down.
He turned to leave before mustering up the courage to ask. "I didn't make it in time to buy a ticket to your show and I was just hoping that I could at least get..."
"I'll make sure you're allowed in without one." She replied at once, grabbing his hand as she stared at him. "You can even have backstage access, and can come up on the stage so I can properly thank you for saving my life!" Spike had no answer for that as Songbird let go of his hand and took flight. "Just wait for me by the entrance, I'll make sure they let you in!"
Spike stood in shocked silence for a full minute as the fight raged on behind him. "...I was just gonna ask for an autograph," He said absolutely shocked. "I didn't mean to sound so petty, feel kind of bad now." Spike shook his head and turned back to the fight "Back to work! Still got three buildings to check!"
Songbird watched from the sky as Spike turned and ran, from her point of view, to go join the fight. Sighing, she turned on the spot and flew as fast as she could to the stage.
- - -
She landed at the ground gate, and the bouncer jumped in surprise. The large crystal pony made to let her in when she spoke up.
"Are you running the entrance tonight?" She asked.
"Indeed I am Ma'am!" The bouncer replied readily.
"I'm expecting a purple dragon with green head spines, and a spaded tail to come here tonight, he doesn't have a ticket but..."
"You mean the great Hero Spike?" The Crystal pony asked.
Songbird blinked as she realized she'd forgotten to get his name. Before she could answer, the bouncer pulled out his Wallet and opened it, showing a picture of the dragon: Spike.
"Yeah, Yeah...He just saved my life, I'd never heard of him until today."
"Oh, I understand that." The bouncer replied casually as he put away his wallet, "He's not one to brag about his exploits, but word still gets around; he is the sole reason that all of us crystal ponies are not enslaved under the iron hoof of King Sombra. He himself befriended the changeling leader Thorax when he was just an self enforced outcast, and because of him, there is now peace between the two races! I've even heard that he was the Dragon Lord, but gave the mantle to Ember so that he could continue his ever vigilant task as the protector of the Princess of Friendship herself!"
Songbird sat in stunned silence, images flashing in her mind of the dragon in a fight to the death with the demon king Sombra. Spike helping a Small Changeling join the side of good and taking out the evil Queen Chrysalis. They continued with more images of him surrounded by multiple dragons he had beaten in combat while taking the bloodstone scepter, and giving it Ember. Then after everything, returning to the side of Princess Twilight.
"Stop him at the gate and contact me, I'll be escorting him to the stage myself. He may be hiding his good deeds due to his humble nature, but I think this one time he should bask in the glory of his own greatness."
"Yes Ma'am."
-Meanwhile-
"Are you serious!?" Rainbow asked as Spike grinned from ear to ear, his eyes shining as he told her the story.
"How awesome is that!?" he asked "I get to go to the show! And I'm gonna be thanked on stage!" Spike smiled "Best day ever."
Rainbow mumbled. "I was distracting it, I should get thanked too."
Spike smiled in return. "Don't worry, if she lets me say anything I'll make sure all three of you get the credit for actually fighting the Serpopard."
The two looked over at the now crying monster as Fluttershy patted its knee. "It's ok, sometimes there's just no pleasing your father, but you have to be your own monster. You can't just go rampaging to try and make him proud. From what you've told me, he'd just focus on all the bad things and none of the good things."
"You know Fluttershy scares me sometimes," Spike added, as Pinkie offered the monster a cake.
Songbird could hear the crowd cheering for her from her waiting room, but her fans would have to wait until her special guest arrived. She was patiently waiting for word of his arrival before she would perform. Her manager had tried to get her to come out, but she'd made it a clear and hard fact that if Spike wasn't there, she wasn't leaving the room. She'd gotten a very interesting gift courtesy of the Bouncer, a children's book from the Crystal Empire. The story was of Spike and Princess Twilight attempting to retrieve the Crystal Heart, she was re-reading it for the 7th time, at this point just to stare at him.
- - -
Spike was currently trying to surf through the large crowd at the entrance. Twilight and the rest of the mane 6 had gotten tickets, but they had sold out before Spike could get one. They had already made it inside, with the exception of Fluttershy, who had refused to come. His only problem at the moment was trying to get through the sea of ponies without knocking anypony over, he was holding his now sore tail after a minotaur had stepped on it. In the last 20 minutes, Spike had made almost no progress in advancing in the line, and it probably would have taken longer if Songbird's manager hadn't sent out a search party for the dragon.
- - -
"Ma'am." One of her backup dancers said as he threw the door open, "It would appear your Dragon friend is currently stuck in the entrance line, we don't think he'll be making it to the front anytime soon." Songbird snapped her book shut and placed it in her bag. The backup pony moved back as she opened the door.
"I'll be right back." She said simply.
- - -
"This is getting ridiculous!" Spike muttered as he came to the realization that the line was moving around him, not with him, he tried to move forward, only to the complaints of the ponies in front of him.
"Can't believe we're at peace with those things." Spike didn't catch who made the racist comment but figured it out when he got an elbow in the side, "Oh sorry about that, I didn't mean to hit you in your stomach. Try not to regurgitate any of the foals in there."
Spike looked at the mare who had made the comment and shook his head as he got up. "I don't eat foals," Spike said calmly as he waited for a chance to move forward, only to have a hoof step on his foot. Spike stood his ground and looked at the colt who had done this, Spike glared at him as smoke blew from his nose. "Ow." He said simply, letting a small amount of fire shine in his mouth. The colt screeched and jumped back into his friends. Spike extinguished the fire and let out a puff of smoke.
Spike attempted to move again only for the ponies around him to start screaming with joy as they pointed up, Spike looked up and saw SongBird flying overhead, Spike made a large smoke ring and watched, with some amusement, as the Pegasus pop star flew through it and made to land, the Crowd parted for her, Spike stood his ground, earning a few angry yells for him to get out of the way as she landed a few feet from him, she walked to him in silence before pulling him into a hug, shutting the crowd right up.
"Spike I'm so glad you could make it!" She said happily "I should have just gotten your address and had somepony pick you up directly!" She locked her arm around Spike's and the two made their way to the front, a few cameras going off. The bouncer was putting a camera away as the two walked up to him, he used his employee card to activate the turnstiles and let them pass.
"Thank you," Spike said with a wave.
The bouncer smiled brightly before clearing his throat and looking into the crowd. "NEXT IN LINE!"
Songbird led Spike into the Employees Only door. "So how have you been?" She asked, "Did you and your friends take down that monster?"
"Oh him? Turns out he just had daddy issues. Fluttershy's taking care of it." Spike said as she pulled him into her private dressing room. Spike blinked at the many, many dresses around him, some Spike had seen her wear in magazines. However one caught his eye and made his face turn red, a bathing suit, nearly the skimpiest thing Spike had ever seen in his life.
Songbird smiled as he stared at it. "I see you have a favorite." She said with a smile. "Well what say I model it for you after the show?" She asked. Spike attempted to respond to that, but words failed him. "I will take that as a yes." She sang out as she turned to leave the room.
"Did you just drag me in there entirely for that?" Spike asked as she led him through the halls.
"Now Spike, you saved my life, twice." She grinned at him, "I have a few things planned for you as a thank you, but first let's get to the stage, the show's running a little late." She reluctantly let go of Spike as they got to the side stage, "Just wait till I come and get you." She ran out onto the stage and held up her hands as the cheers intensified. She did a quick lap around the stage, giving a few of the front row ponies a high five before she walked up to the mic.
"Hello Ponyville and all of its visitors to tonight's show!" She waved as the crowd cheered at her, "Now as we all know, this concert tonight is a thank you to Princess Twilight and her friends!" The spotlight moved around and focused on Twilight and her friends, who waved as the crowd cheered. The spotlight refocused back to Songbird as she held up her hand. "Now today, I learned that this town had its fair share of monster attacks. I found this out when I got caught in one. I almost died today, but I was saved not once, but twice. By the Princess's friend, and assistant no less! Spike the Dragon!"
Spike walked out onto the stage with a wave, all of the Crystal Ponies in the crowd exploded into cheers as Spike stood next to Songbird who threw her arm around him as she continued talking. "Now its come to my attention that most of you in the crowd don't know who this dragon is." She looked around at the crowd as she continued "This dragon is the hero of the Crystal Empire, and the key reason that we know peace between dragons, ponies, and changelings." She held up Spike's hand as she continued "and I've brought him here to thank him for all of it the best I can, what do you think? Should I show him my appreciation?"
The crowd cheered as Spike looked around. He felt her hand on his face as she turned his face to look at her. "Thank you, Spike." She said clearly into the mic before dropping the mic and throwing her arms around him and pulling him into a kiss, The cheers grew louder 'til they could feel it in the stage beneath them. Spike felt her tongue enter his mouth for a second before she broke the kiss up and whispered with a smile. "I've had a chair set up for you so you can watch the show backstage." Song picked the mic back up as Spike waved goodbye to the crowd, his face bright red as he did so.
Spike had no idea how long he had been sitting there, he'd been lost in thought. At first he'd been in absolute shock after the kiss, his permanent backside view of her didn't help his situation much, nor did the looming promise of being locked in a room with her as she modeled her bathing suit for him. The more he tried not to think of it, the more he couldn't help himself. The more he thought of it, the tighter he crossed his legs.
"Be gone thought!" he demanded internally.
"Hell Nah." The thought replied as it directed Spike to stare at Songbird as she landed on the stage after flying over the crowd. She used her hand to hold the front of her skirt down as she landed, but Spike got a solid view as the back end of her skirt lifted up and relieved its secrets to him.
"They're white." He muttered as he now used his tail to cover his lap. Songbird waved to the cheering crowd
"Alright everypony, I hope you enjoyed the show, I love each and every one of you!" She smiled before adding, "Though I think we all remember who holds a special place in my heart." Spike blinked as a pony seemed to just appear next to him and held up a camera next to his head, Spike blinked in confusion as his face was shown on the jumbo screen overhead, "Can we get one more cheer for Spike?" Songbird held out her mic and she got some cheers indeed as the crowd all screamed out their thanks to Spike, no words really came through, but Songbird smiled just the same as she put the mic back on the stand and held out her arms. "Goodbye and goodnight Ponyville!" she screamed one final time before going backstage and snuggling her head next to Spike's, sticking her tongue out at the camera, the crowd gave one final scream before the pony with said camera shut it down and the screen went black. Once the camera pony left Songbird put her hands on Spike's tail.
"My, aren't you sitting in an odd position?" She said looking him over, his legs were crossed over each other with his tail shoved between them to cover his crotch area. "You're not hiding something from me are you?" She asked sweetly, crossing her arms and pulling down on her shirt slightly, this combined with being bent over, gave Spike a nice view of her cleavage.
"Not at all," Spike replied as he used all his will power to focus on where he thought her eyes probably were. Songbird smiled as she lightly tapped at his folding chair, it gave way and he shot up. Songbird got a brief moment of staring at the bulge in his pants before he turned his back to her and took off his jacket, leaving him in a light blue T-shirt, as he tightened the jacket around his waist to hide his shame, Songbird's excitement only grew.
"He's packing something I can get behind!" She smiled again as she amended her thought, "He can get behind me and unpackage it anytime." She waited for Spike to turn back to her before firmly planting herself onto his side.
"Say...didn't I promise to model something for you?" She asked innocently.
Steam came out Spike's nose for a moment before he spoke up. "I think you did, yes." He said, amazed that his voice hadn't cracked. As they walked, Songbird waved at a few of the crew ponies and waved off her Manager, who threw up her hands defensively and backed off. Besides that, nothing of much interest happened as Songbird led Spike into her dressing room. She let go of him and smiled as she placed a Do Not Disturb sign on the door before closing and locking it. She walked past him merrily and took the swimming suit off the hook.
Spike waited for her to go change, and then watched as she set up the divider, it was just tall enough to hide her body, but it gave Spike a clear view of her head. What was worse, or possibly best if he was being honest, was that the light on her desk made her silhouette shine through the divider so Spike could still see the curvy outline of her body. He watched, completely transfixed, as she undressed.
First came the skirt, she dropped it off with ease before unbuttoning her over shirt and throwing it behind her. Slowly lifting her undershirt off and dropped it to the floor too. Next came the bra, she took it off, while making a huge show of pulling it above the divider, letting it fall on the floor in front of Spike. He blinked at it for a moment before she began removing her panties. His gaze was transfixed on her as she pulled them down her legs, stepped out of them, then proceeded to drop them in front of the divider as well. She then took the bikini bottom and slid them on, quickly followed by snapping her top on. "Ready?" She asked sweetly as she peered above the partition.
Spike nodded in apprehension and she stepped into view. Spike immediately realized why he had never seen any pictures of her wearing the swimsuit; It didn't fit at all. The bottoms only just hid her marehood from view, but it was a thin line. The top however, passed the line. Spike could just see her areolas around the upper part of the cups. Spike's reaction was as tame as he could muster, he once again tightened the jacket around his waist and said simply, "I think it might be a little too small for you." Once again he was amazed how his voice hadn't wavered.
"Are you sure?" She asked sauntering up to him with a pose. As she did, a small amount of pink could be seen from her bikini bottom.
Spike turned and faced the door, his face so red it almost produced light. "Too small, too small!" he cried out, his voice finally giving as he tried not to stare at her. Songbird smiled and nodded before going back behind the divider. Spike turned back to face the barrier while she took the swimming suit off. She grinned once more at him, an expression that told Spike that he had somehow fallen into a trap as she tossed them over the front of the divider. Spike watched it fall to the floor, and his ears shot up when he saw what garments still lay in front of the divider.
"Oh no," She said with a rather convincing tone of despair in her voice, Spike looked around the floor, her skirt and shirt had been kicked out from behind the divider when she had walked out from behind it, meaning that the only clothes in her reach were her overshirt. "Spike, could you do me a huge favor?" she asked innocently, "and grab my clothes for me?" Spike nodded, trying not to look at her as he walked over, grabbed her shirt and pants, and handed them over with no incident, She pointed to the floor and Spike leaned down to pick the undergarments.
He expected something to happen, but to his delight nothing did, he got up and handed the undergarment to her when it happened, as she leaned against the divider, its less than solid material gave Spike a 100% clear view of her girls pressed up against it, Spike jumped back and Songbird caught the undergarments in her hand, Spike faced the door and took a mental snapshot of the event. He promised to store it in his mind for later as Songbird re-dressed herself. Spike was still facing the door as when she stepped out from behind the divider.
"What's the matter?" She asked innocently "Did you see something?"
"You could say that," Spike replied as he shook his head. "Listen, as much as I'm enjoying spending time with you, I have to get back to the castle, there's a lot of work to be done and..."
"I have a question." Songbird said as she stepped up to him "When's the last time you took some time off?"
Spike stared at her in silence. "Sometime last year." He replied after some thought.
"You know, I'm spending a week at my private beach house, and I was wondering if you'd be up for joining me, you seem a little tense." Spike stared at her, and the look on her face told him that if he said yes, it would probably result in a week full of shenanigans like the one he had just experienced.
"Let me go see if Twilight will let me take the week off." He replied simply.
Spike stood awkwardly in front of the castle, not entirely sure what he should expect upon entering the building. He hoped they would just shrug it off and go about their day. If he knew his friends however, they were about to try to embarrass the shit out of him. Spike took a deep breath and began walking up the stairs, ready for anything.
Even his prep wasn't enough to be ready for what happened when he opened the door. As soon as it opened a party cannon went off and Pinkie grabbed him. Spike didn't have a chance to say anything as he was pulled into the building. Next thing he knew it he was sitting at a table with a fairly sized cake on it. Spike just had enough time to read what it said, 'I kissed a mare and I liked it' before Pinkie bombarded him with questions.
"Did you really like it? Should I change the cake? What was it like? Was that planned or did she catch you off guard? You were gone for a while, what else did you two do?"
Spike had long since mastered the skill of Pinkie response. "Yes. No. Awesome. Off guard. Nothing." With the last one Pinkie smiled.
"Oh really? Cause I asked a friend of mine, her name's Strawberry Blast, if anything was happening. She is Songbird Senada's manager." Pinks severely butchered her name. Spike's ears drooped at being caught. "So how did she look in the bathing suit?" She asked with a smile.
Before Spike could attempt to escape, Twilight cleared her throat, "Pinkie, please don't torment him." She commented. Spike sighed with relief before she added with a smile, "That's the big sister's job."
Twilight and Pinkie smiled at him, waiting for him to reply. After a moment he sighed. "It was too small." He replied as the two mares' smiles widened.
"Did you see anything?" Twilight questioned.
Before Spike could reply two pairs of arms pulled him out of the chair and helped him to his feet. "Alright, I think Spike's torment time is done." Applejack said while Rainbow Dash patted him on the back.
"Did you get some?" She inquired.
"Should I continue down my current path, I'm gonna get some whether I want it or not," Spike replied quietly. He had lived around the six mares for so long that certain things that would embarrass him with others, wouldn't around them. With Rainbow Dash it was sex-related talk, oddly the same was true with Fluttershy. Rainbow raised a fist and Spike bumped it before making it explode.
"So Spike," Twilight began, "What made you leave your waifu?" Spike and Rainbow snorted at her. "Not what it means?" She asked, the two shook their heads and she sighed "I'm going to figure out what that word means eventually!"
"Sincerely doubt it." Rainbow chuckled back. "So Spike, why did you leave your..."
"I'm just gonna cut you off before you teach Twilight another new word," Spike said just loud enough to drown her voice out. "I just came to ask Twilight… I could have… a vacation."
Spike stood in silence, as the four mares around him stared back when a voice behind him spoke up. "Oh, and what are you going to be doing on your vacation darling?" Rarity chimed in as she walked out from wherever it had been that all the others had been hiding in wait for him.
"I would ask who you're going to be doing, but I think we all know." Rainbow added with a chuckle before patting his back. She was intentionally trying to ask all the embarrassing questions so Spike would turn into a steaming tomato.
"That's not...entirely off." Spike replied as he pointed to the door "Speaking off which, you all got like five seconds to prepare yourselves."
The others looked at each other, then Spike. "Wait, prepare for what?" Twilight asked when there was a knock on the door.
"You can just come in." The door opened, there was the sound of many cameras flashing and a fair number of ponies talking as Songbird walked into the castle. She gave a wave before closing the door. "Prepare for her." He added to Twilight as Songbird walked to Applejack, the closest of the group and shook her hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." She said politely, Applejack just nodded as Songbird moved to Twilight. "It's fantastic to see you again princess." Twilight failed to respond to the pop star.
Pinkie moved forward and shook Songbird hands first. "Try to take it slow with him." Pinkie said with a wink, Songbird smiled at that.
"I promise only to try." She shot back as she moved to Rarity. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is all mine, darling." Rarity greeted before whispering "If you ever want to knock his socks off without even having to take anything off, just come to me. I have a few outfits that'll turn him into a steaming tomato."
Songbird gave a nod to that. "I'll think about it when he starts getting comfortable around me." She replied then she shook Rainbow Dash's hand.
Rainbow spoke with a devilish grin, "If he blows your world, just make sure you blow his." She wiggled her eyebrows exaggeratedly.
It was at this point Spike intervened. "I can hear all of you!" he said irritably, Songbird moved to his side and claimed his arm as hers once again.
"So, are you the one trying to steal my assistant?" Twilight asked sweetly.
"Only for a little while." Songbird replied, "I promise I'll return him, but he might lose something."
Rainbow laughed on the other side of Spike. "BUSTED!" She bellowed.
"Not too hard to figure out," Spike replied as Songbird nuzzled against his arm.
"You know Spike," Twilight said as she walked up and patted him on the shoulder "You have been working pretty hard. Why not take some time off?" Spike sighed and Songbird smiled, then Twilight finished her sentence "I hereby give you the rest of the month off." Spike's eyes shot open, as did Songbird's, not that either of them noticed.
"Sold!" Songbird sang out pulling Spike into a hug, "I'll come to pick you up tomorrow afternoon!" She pulled him down and gave him a kiss on the cheek before heading to the door to book the next month off as well. She slid to a stop at the door and changed her composure before opening the door. She waved at the cameras with a simple smile before the door closed and she was lost from sight.
"Oh boy," Spike sighed as his friends smiled at him.
Rainbow patted him on the back. "Hey, don't worry if things don't work out. I'm sure a few of the mares in town will happily take you on the rebound."
Spike looked around his room one final time, in his claws he held three bags. One had his clothes packed inside, another was filled to the brim with power ponies comics. But the third and largest bag, overflowed with snacks and sugary drinks. It had taken him a full fifteen minutes to close it. With a nod, he put the full bag of clothes over his shoulder and stacked the snack bag on top of the comic bag. He departed the now clutter free room with them in his arms. Spike closed the door with his tail before saying bluntly, "Don't say a word."
Rainbow Dash froze with a guilty smile above him, in her hand was a sash that read 'getting laid tonight'. "But I bought this just for you!" She whined waving it around.
"I don't care," Spike replied as he made his way down the hall. "I don't want to give Songbird Serenade any ideas."
"Don't be like that." Rainbow replied whilst putting the sash over herself, "I know for a fact that you love every second you spend around her."
"Can't prove it," Spike replied simply.
Rainbow smirked, "Dude let's be real, we both know that I know where your clop stash is."
"And we both know that that Songbird doesn't do clop," Spike replied looking up at her, the glimmer in her eye made him frown.
"True, but I know that she just loves to do some light swimwear modeling."
Spike froze, the memory of yesterday flashing in his mind. "I don't think I have any swimwear magazines," Spike had replied. Now his face burned red.
"Oh, I bet you thought AJ and I missed your talk with Pinkie and Twilight," Rainbow chuckled, "You never did answer them." She leaned in with a mischievous smile, "Did you see anything?" Spike's reaction was all the answer she needed. He thought back to Songbird's breasts showing through the divide. A steady column of smoke arose from his nose. Rainbow laughed as she glided to the ground "Oh! What did you see? Top, bottom, or all of it?" She flirtatiously inquired.
Spike took a deep breath as they made it to the top of the stairs. "It is none of your business," He gruffly responded.
Rainbow's laugh echoed through the halls of the castle.
- - -
Songbird had made all the necessary preparations. She had taken a month off, notified the ship's crew that she and Spike would be arriving that evening. After some extensive research on Spike, she had a very special surprise on the ship just for him; something she knew for a fact he would adore. She'd even told the crew to leave her and Spike alone for the entirety of the trip.
Accompanying her to Twilight's castle was one of the crew members, he was hauling her luggage around and the plan was for him to haul Spike's as well.
A fair number of Ponyville residents stopped and stared at her, some took a few pictures, but past that it was pretty easy to get through the town. Her path to the castle was straight, and had no interruptions. The luggage colt waited at the bottom of the stairs as she walked up and knocked on the gigantic front door. She had barely made contact with the colossal thing when Twilight opened it. Inside she found the rest of the mane six waiting. The princess waved her in, and shut the door behind her.
"So..." Twilight said awkwardly, "I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to be all hard on you and such." Twilight waved her hands at her. "Just promise me one thing." Twilight walked over to her and whispered so that none of her friends in the room could hear her. "If things get really serious, I call dibs on being Chief Bridesmaid." Songbird snorted before she could stop herself.
"I promise," She said after Rarity had handed her a tissue. Twilight nodded and turned to the stairs. The pair waited less than a minute when Spike and Rainbow turned the corner at the top of the stairs.
"Dude, you know you want the sash!" Rainbow said as she waved it around her head.
"I do not," Spike replied without hesitation.
"Take it."
"No."
"TAKE IT!"
"NO!"
"Rainbow," Twilight called, "Stop trying to give Spike the sash."
"Never!" Was Rainbow's reply as she landed next to Applejack. Spike made it to the bottom of the massive staircase and was immediately bombarded with goodbye hugs from his friends.
"At least let me put down my bags!" He cried out as the group huddled around him. Songbird held back as laugh as Spike held up his arm and gave her a thumbs up before sinking into the hug. After a minute Spike was freed from the hug once they'd all had a chance to say their goodbyes, take cares, and not so subtle hints to use protection. "Ha-ha-ha," Spike sarcastically laughed as he picked his bags back up and walked over to Songbird.
"I hope you don't mind but Twilight called dibs on being a bridesmaid." Twilight stuck her tongue out at her friends.
"Sorry Twi, Fluttershy called dibs on that like a year ago." Spike interjected. The entire group blinked and turned to her in confusion.
"I've seen him shirtless, not many mares could pass that up. I just want to see the one that stays."
Spike chuckled at the group's reactions to that as he led the way out the door with Songbird now staring at his back. "Well he saw me topless, only fair I get to see him topless too." She thought as she imagined what was under his shirt. Spike walked down the stairs first and met the luggage colt, who looked exhausted.
"My friend you look like shit," Spike expressed.
"Yeah, thanks." The frail pony muttered whilst Spike put his three bags on top of Songbird's five. The luggage colt was ready for the grueling task of carrying the pile to the train, and then to the boat, only for the entire pile to lift up without him.
"Let me just get this for you," Spike decided, "Ain't nothing on Rarity's bags." Songbird had been checking her purse to make absolutely sure she hadn't accidentally packed the train tickets. When she confirmed she had them she looked up to Spike carrying the bags and suitcases with one hand while trying to wave off the thankful luggage colt, who looked as if he was about to start crying tears of joy while he thanked the dragon. Songbird just stared at him in silence, once Spike assured him he would still be getting paid for carrying the bags he flew into the air and left before the dragon could call take-backs. Spike looked at Songbird who was at this point just pointing at him. Spike waved her off too, misunderstanding the look on her face. "It's really no sweat, I've had to deal with heavier, it's just balancing that's hard." Spike put both of his claws under the pile and turned carefully. "Anyways, I'm guessing we're going by train right?"
"Could you take off your shirt, please?!" Her mind screamed at him internally as she nearly swooned.
“You look like you're boiling. Maybe you should take your shirt off, so you don’t get it all sweaty?”
Spike was about to hesitate when he noticed the accumulation of sweat forming underneath his arms. After putting the heavy suitcases down he slipped the magenta t-shirt over his head. This proved quite difficult due to his scales. “Could you give me a hoof?” Spike asked the popstar. She didn’t even think twice about it. She helped him out of his shirt and what she found underneath was not disappointing. His muscles were the most glorious thing she’d ever seen and the thought of him using them to save her life made her a bit flustered; The dragon before her was ripped. It was now Songbird's turn to glow lightly in the face, the image of Spike headbutting the falling wall in her head.
"I should have known." She thought as she gingerly trotted beside him whilst trying her best not to stare at his abs. The walk to the train station was a little longer than she thought it had any right to be. Despite this they never became bored as they were both content with each other’s company. Their journey ground to a halt more than a couple of times. A tourist stopped Spike to ask for directions to Twilight’s castle. Somepony excitedly asked Songbird for an autograph, and strangest of all, a slightly overweight pony demanded Spike to put his shirt back on. He had blathered something about him being in a public place.
"Oh thank Luna." Spike sighed as they arrived at the charming Ponyville train station. He eventually managed to slip the shirt back on, much to the dismay of Songbird, before continuing to follow her with the bags. The boarding process was pretty fast for them, seeing as Songbird had bought first class tickets. Pretty soon the two found themselves sitting alone in their own secluded compartment. Songbird smiled at him and Spike just sat there in awkward silence. Eventually he came up with something to say, "I've never been in first class before," Spike noted, trying to make small talk, "Twilight and I have always travelled in the public carriage."
"Really?" Songbird asked, "I'd think a Princess wouldn't even need the train.’
"Oh no, I remember when she decided to fly to her destination with me on her back. I ended up crashing into the side of the Library!” Spike exclaimed, “For some odd reason she doesn’t like being flown by the royal guards either, I think it’s because she has a crush on one of them." Spike sighed before slapping his knees and getting up, "I saw a soda machine on our way in and I've just gotta try me some train soda." Spike opened the door to their compartment and headed out.
Unbeknownst that behind him a robbery was taking place a carriage down. The group consisted of five stallions who were in the middle of robbing the only other two groups who had bought first class tickets. A guard, sent to protect one of the nobles on board, lay slumped over on the floor after being knocked out. Leading the group was a pale white earth pony with a sky blue mane. As soon as he got an eyeful of Spike he redirected his four minions toward the dragon, two of the ponies followed suit after him. They made their way into the compartment which Spike had been in. Songbird looked on in silence at the stallion who had now locked eyes with her.
"Jackpot," He said salaciously.
- - -
The two ponies rounded a corner and found Spike turning his pockets inside out trying to find some spare change. "All these cans are gonna be super shaken."
One of the two stallions took this as an opportunity and pulled out a damp washcloth, the same he'd used to knock out the guard. The pony walked over and threw it over Spike's mouth at the worst possible moment. As the pony had been sneaking up on him, Spike had pulled out a coin from one of his many pockets and some lint went right up his nose. To the dissatisfaction of the pony sneaking up on him, this caused Spike to sneeze which meant that as soon as they put the washcloth over his mouth his hand became alight. Spike noticed him as soon as he started screaming. The dragon was absolutely oblivious to what the earth pony had just attempted and grabbed a large jug of water sitting on a nearby refreshment trolley. Whilst this was happening, the second crony was approaching Spike from behind with a knife in one trembling hand. When he jabbed the blade into Spike’s side, it snapped. "Probably should have seen that coming." Was all he had time to think before Spike was on him.
The earth pony fell onto his back with Spike on top of him. This was not the way he expected this to go. The dragon may have been ripped but nothing beats raw equestrian magic. Thanks to his increased strength the stallion shoved Spike off of him and into a wall, shaking the train carriage.
Spike was not physically hurt but the same couldn't be said about his pride. He was done playing games. As his mouth opened his lungs absorbed as much air as possible. The two earth ponies tried to run but the one who had just been rolling around on the floor with Spike was still recovering. He swiftly sat up and shot a small stream of fire in their direction as they fled. He knew to keep it under control lest he set the carriage ablaze. Seeing movement beside him he focused on the remaining thug. He gets to his feet and prepares himself, "You want some more?!"
The fearful pony stutters, "Nnnnoo! I d-didn't ev-ven wa-nt t-to be h-here!"
"Leave this place." Spike demanded. Internally he squee'd, "I've always wanted to say that!"
"Going!" He flees with his tail tucked between his legs.
- - -
As this was happening Songbird Serenade was dealing with the ringleader and two more of his minions. She sat in silence as the stallion demanded that she give him anything of value. When she denied he gave her a second offer, to give him her clothes. "A full set of Songbird Serenade’s clothes will fetch quite the price on the black market, especially with her underwear included," he said cunningly.
"Abso-fucking-lutely not!" Songbird replied without hesitation. With that the pale white Colt grabbed her and began forcing her to strip.
Spike walked in and shut the door. “Got my so-” he turned around to see one of the two other stallions in the room glaring at him. One was so close that Spike could smell his breath, it reeked. Not wanting them to get the upper hand, Spike swung his fist through the air and punched the crook. CRACK! Thankfully Spike’s claw was okay after contact with their skull thanks to his thick scales. The earth pony collapsed to the floor unconscious. Spike now had a full view of the events taking place in the compartment. Songbird was pinned down on the floor with her top next to her and her bra in the teeth of the gang’s ringleader. Spike was enraged at the sight.
The second to last thief dove at him but Spike had just enough time to dodge the attack. This ended with them flying out the open door behind Spike. With quick thinking, Spike used his prehensile tail to slam it shut and lock it. Now it was just him and the ringleader.
He had now stepped off of Songbird and was just standing there staring at Spike, a mixture of fear and concern in his eyes. The diva saw the perfect opportunity and used her stage skills to do a perfect kick directly to his unguarded crotch. "That's for fucking with me!"
His eyes rolled into the back of his head as the pain was simply too much for any mortal male to bear. He slumped to the floor behind Songbird well and truly down for the count.
Spike threw him and his unconscious friend in the hall on top of the other and closed the door. He turned back to Songbird, who was breathing heavily on the floor. Spike sat next to her as she sat up and patted her back.
"And that is why Twilight and I always take the open area carriage, so many ponies in there that if somepony tried that shit they'd lose their teeth in less than a minute." Songbird just leaned into Spike and hugged him. She failed to remember that she was now half naked resulting in her gigantic, barely covered, breasts rubbing against Spike. The flustered dragon replied, “I think it’s about time for some soda.” And with that, he popped open his soda and the two were drenched in a shower of raspberry flavored Ponyade.
After some serious apologizing from the conductor, the guards, and a few other parties of the train’s staff, Spike and Songbird headed out into Manehattan. Songbird was now wearing a navy hoodie, which Spike felt shouldn't have worked. He watched in amazement as he was, once again, proven wrong. The pair were only stopped once; it happened as the two of them were rounding a corner when Spike bumped into a stallion.
"Oh shoot, I'm so sor-"
"Excuse me!" The stallion practically shouted as he pushed past with just enough force to knock Spike off balance. This caused the enormous pile of luggage that he had been carrying to sway and fall. Each piece of luggage smashed all over the concrete sidewalk. Luckily Spike was unharmed, thanks to his thick scales. As he got to his feet, he glanced over at the turquoise unicorn and began to brush himself off. He had two seconds to prepare himself for the forthcoming verbal onslaught. As soon as he saw the vicious snarl on the unicorn’s face, he tuned out and went to re-stacking the bags. Spike shook each bag to check for any broken items. He cringed at the sound of Songbird’s broken makeup supplies.
"Do you know who I am? I work for Prince Blueblood himself!”
Spike glanced up to see Songbird Serenade’s appalled expression from behind the stallion. He gave her a look that said, Let me handle this. Songbird took a step back.
The stallion didn’t notice that Spike was once again ignoring him and continued his speech, “I make more in an hour than you'll ever make in your Celestia damaged life! So if you don't want this little incident getting out and destroying what little worth your name has; you will turn to me, get down on your knees, and beg that I forgive this transgression.“ Spike, still ignoring the stallion, earned another scowl from the self important pony. "You think you can ignore me? I'll buy the swap you call a home and have it turned into a parking lot!" Spike began stacking the bags again. "Oh you think you're such a big dragon don't you? Walking around with your cheap knock off bags, and your 12-bit arm candy..."
Spike turned to a tree surrounded by a few stones, picked up a nice big one before turning to him. To the unicorn’s surprise, Spike crushed it with the raw power in his claw. "Hi there, I’m Spike. The direct assistant to Princess Twilight Sparkle, allow me to introduce you to my friend here Songbird Serenade."
Songbird took her hood off and pulled out a small disposable camera that she'd bought for her vacation. A quick flash and the stallion’s fate was sealed. "You are hereby banned from any and all concerts I am ever in." She announced as Spike picked up their bags. "Oh, and enjoy your job while you still can. I imagine the Princess of Friendship will be having a little talk with Prince Blueblood in... oh… maybe a month."
With a wave, the two walked away from the horrified stallion, a trail of nail polish leaking from the suitcase following in their wake. "That was fun, shame about the makeup though. I suppose I can always buy some more." Songbird said. With a newly formed smile on her face, she put her hood back on "Let's see,” she thought, “You’ve, saved me from what I'd call attempted rape and turned on that guy the second he referred to me as arm-candy after breaking our belongings." Songbird tsk'd, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but again I owe you two right?"
"I dunno what you're talking about." Spike replied, "I was gonna do that from the beginning. The timing was just coincidental."
"Oh, I'm sure it was." She replied as she stuffed her camera back in her hoodie pocket. The rest of their walk through Manehattan was less eventful until they eventually made their way to Songbird’s pier.
Spike almost dropped the bags again. He had been expecting a small boat with one room and some random pony driving it, instead what he was looking at would best be described as a cruise ship. "How much do you fucking make!?" Spike demanded in shock.
"Oh, I get 25% of every ticket sold, 10% of any concessions sold, 60% on my CD Sales, and 45% form Merchandise, not to mention quite a few royalties as well." Spike looked at her as if she was crazy. Eventually he overcame his astonishment at the sheer size of the thing and shook his head before moving on. "Don't worry though, this is just a temporary rental," she added with a wink.
A fully stocked crew greeted them as they boarded, each one enthusiastically greeting them. Spike guessed it had something to do with getting paid a full days salary for doing almost nothing. The two were lead to the best room on the ship, the mare handed them the room key. "Don't worry." She said as they walked in, "Everything's been cleaned and the crew will be staying off this deck until such a time that you order food, you two just go hog wild and have some fun." With that, the mare closed the door and left.
Spike looked around the huge room, there was an enormous hot tub, three large chairs, a film projector accompanied by a comfy looking loveseat, a whole shelving unit full to the brim with movie reels, a popcorn machine and massage chair.
It was a lot to take in and Spike was about to get excited when Songbird stated bluntly, "Eh, this'll do for the night." Spike stared at her, now very much wanting to see her vacation home. He turned back to the door and glanced at where he had haphazardly placed his bags. His stuff looked so out of place in the beautiful suite. So he picked them up once more and followed Songbird to one of the two side rooms. This one being their bedroom, had one window, a humongous pink bed shaped like a heart, and there was a second hot tub in the room for some odd reason.
"The hell do we need two of them for?" He asked as he placed the bags down.
Songbird’s face lit up as she turned on the spot and flicked the hot tub on. "Why don't you go put on your swimsuit and I'll show you why?"
Spike blinked at her. "This feels like a trap and a half." He muttered as he reached into his clothing bag and, after some riffling about, left to the other side room that was their bathroom. It was like any other bathroom, with the exception of the huge bathtub. "This place has big fucking tubs." He muttered as he stripped down and hiked up his swimming shorts. The hardest part was getting his tail into the area for it but by now it was a task he'd grown used to.
He walked back into the room and found Songbird already neck deep in bubbles, she smiled teasingly as he climbed in, the two stared at each other in silence. The bubbles moving by so rapidly that Spike couldn't even tell what skimpy bathing suit she was wearing. He was willing to bet it was probably as tight as the others.
"What's the matter," She asked sweetly with a sneaky undertone, "Can't see my suit through the bubbles?"
"No I can’t," Spike confirmed.
"Oh... Well if you ask nicely, I'll stand up and show it to you."
Spike looked at her, slowly raising the scales that would have been his eyebrow had he been born a mammal. "I fear in asking this," He relented, "but can you please stand up and show me your swimsuit."
"Oh, I would..." Songbird said as she waded over to him. Still neck deep, she motioned for him to lean down before saying sweetly, "If I was wearing one." Spike didn't even get a chance to fully take in what she had just said before she stood up, leaving him nose to nose with the area just below her navel. Her breasts were once again jiggling proudly before him. Spike shot smoke out of his nose as Songbird took a step forward and sat on his lap, burying his face in her cleavage. "I do believe I owe you one less now." She said as she repositioned herself so she could nuzzle the side of his neck.
Spike took in the glorious view that were her melons, only just resisting the urge to lean forward and latch onto them. He knew full well how that would end, and he didn't want some poor crew member to have to clean up the mess.
"Wait till we arrive at our destination. Wait till we arrive at our destination!" Spike tried to fight his urges when Songbird licked his face. She made sure her tongue broke through his lips for a moment as she passed them. "Wait for a moment alone in the bathroom!" He amended immediately.
Songbird sat in a chair rooting around through her bag. Spike had gone to take a shower while she looked to see if any of her nail polishes had survived. She'd managed to keep him pinned in the hot tub for a full ten minutes before she got off him. It had been a lot of fun teasing him, though she wished he'd joined her in nudity. However she still had tons of time to get him to start playing along with her, maybe just with her. She was so lost in thought she didn't notice she had found what had broken until she cut her hand on it.
"Fuck." She muttered as she extracted her hand and looked at the broken shard of glass in her palm. She got up, moved to the trashcan, removed the glass, and dropped it in the bin before dragging it to her bag. The contents of her bag were mostly fine, with the exception of everything near the bottom. Once all the upper layer stuff had been shaken in search of any stray glass she set to work on saving what could be saved. The suitcase itself was not salvageable as it now had a multicolored stain on the back. The stain had leaked onto Spike's clothes bag, so that two would need to be searched once she was done. While most of her cosmetic's were trashed, one of her perfume bottles had miraculously survived, her lipsticks were all in their own box so they were fine, her mascara was trashed, as was her vanity mirror. Spike walked into the room just as she started going through his bag.
"Sorry about dropping your stuff." He apologized after confirming she was wearing clothes again. "Like I said, balancing is the hard part."
Songbird waved the apology away. "Not your fault you were pushed." She replied as she tossed all his polished clothes in a hamper, she had just grabbed the last of them when she realized what he no longer had. "Oh no..." She said Spike's eye's snapped to her.
"I don't like that tone," Spike said with a light fear as Songbird looked at what was basically every pair of pants and shorts Spike had brought with him. At the moment Spike was wearing the same white Shorts he had been all day along with his Yellow and White T-shirt.
"It would appear that if these can't be washed, you and I will have to go do some clothes shopping. Either that or you'll be stuck walking around in your underwear every other day."
"I'll take shopping for 20," Spike replied. He rested on the bed while Songbird took the clothes to a handle on the wall and dumped them down the laundry chute.
"The crew will tell us if they can be saved later." Songbird said as she jumped on the bed. Spike looked over at her as she rolled over and lay on top of him, "So, what say you and I have some fun?"
Spike looked to the side, a tad uneasy. "I just don't think this is the place for that kind of thing."
"Oh, but there are so many things we could do," she said, as she extended her wings and lay them over Spike like a blanket. She smiled at the dragon who decided to use his emergency escape plan.
"I can get out of here with ease," he said simply.
"Oh, but you'd have to hurt me to do that," Songbird replied, once again pulling on her shirt, her nipples showing through the fabric as she pulled, Spike used his will to ignore them and continued.
"I don't have to use any strength, I don't even need to use my hands, I can get out of here with my tongue alone."
"Spike, you really think you can talk me down?" Songbird asked.
"I didn't say I was talking now did I?" Spike asked as he opened his mouth, his tongue shot out and inside of Songbird's mouth, wrapping around hers before lapping around her teeth and cheek. Songbird let out a low moan as she sucked on his tongue, as she did this Spike pulled his legs out from between hers before she fell into a sitting position. After a moment Spike was sitting up and to his surprise she grabbed his tongue. Songbird runs her hands up and down the long slimy appendage. Spike attempted to reel his tongue back in while Song, with her hands now covered in his saliva, slid both her hands down her skirt. Spike watched as she began intimately enjoying herself, he was memorized for a moment before shaking his head and slurping his tongue back into his mouth. A light pop could be heard as it pulled free of Songbird's mouth.
Spike was impressed at just how much she was trying to get him to play. Now however, he felt he could at least watch the free concert. Her moans drifted through the air like a well played harp. His eyes left her for only a moment as he located a chair to sit in. Why take a chance on going too far, too fast? He fetches a seat nearly faster than her motions on herself, places it, then feeds his tail through the back.
Spike watches in disbelief that he could rile up somepony like her as Songbird went to town on herself. "Oh, Spike." She moaned out as her fingers kept a good pace. She opened her eyes with a bit of doubt but was ecstatic to learn her paramour was there still to enjoy the show. She went all out, quickly stripping down and going back to her task. Fondling one tit with her still wet hand, she moaned as she dug into her sex, "Spike!" She called his name as she imagined him doing this.
Spike sat rooted to the spot, eyes glued to her sexy body as she made her intentions crystal clear. Every single second he sat there, his dragonhood swelled and his shorts grew tighter. '"Just watch for later use. Just remember everything you possibly can!" His brain went into overdrive trying to ingrain every last detail.
Her mane was matting and sticking to her face as she moaned aloud for him to hear. "Please Spike!" She gave her tit the attention it craved then switched hands and breast, running her juices across the spongy flesh. Her marehood was openly drooled as she pushed into it repeatedly. Songbird had a gorgeous body and she was ready to give it to her savior should he give the word. Fluid dripped from between her spread legs into her tail and she couldn't have looked happier.
"Spike." She stopped all motions and stared directly at him. "I am giving you the show of a lifetime, don't waste it…" Quickly resuming the debauchery she lets out a groan.
Spike was a little hesitant at first but after a few moments his primal mind took over and set things in motion. He removed his shirt before slowing to a crawl. It started with a button. When no yells came, he undid the zipper. Still in the clear, his tail pushed against the floor and lifted his rear up enough to slide out of his shorts.
"That's it Spike. Show me what you truly think." She brought a hand up and slowly cleaned her fingers with her tongue.
His underwear strained to keep his excitement under wraps. He grabbed the waistband slowly and pried apart the elastic.
"Oh yes, come on Spikey!"
Taking a deep breath he releases a light smoke as he pulls them down. They gradually slipped down his hips till his member created a large tent that had the songbird mewling for more. Seven inches of hot dragon rod spring up and slapped against his lower abdomen. Still he kept them going till he was left with a puddle of garments at his feet.
Songbird doubled her efforts and pinched her nipples briefly as she admired the generous handful his sack had to be. She keeps her view of him while she brings a delicious, wet, breast to her mouth. She hummed in excitement as Spike finally wrapped a claw around the girthy phallus. "That's it! Show me!"
Spike watches her change nipples, thoughts gone from his mind while stroking his dick. "You're so fucking hot!" He finally managed to yell out. Part of him screamed to go to her but some part acted in his defense and held him in the chair. He was restricted to his hand but the sight of her jiggling mounds had him drooling at the mouth.
Song bit her knuckles as she came. "HHNNNNNGGGG!"
Spike jerked his length vigorously at the sight of her quivering in the growing wet spot. He could feel the pressure building and it had been a while so there was a lot of pressure. He kept his gaze as she gently massaged her breasts while she watched his reaction to her. She let go of one tit and spread her labia for his entertainment. That was all that was needed as Spike let out a feral grunt and the pressure released itself on the floor in front of him. He sagged in the chair in post masturbation bliss.
"I guess you were right," she said merrily. "You did get out of there with your tongue alone."
"Kind of wish I had gotten out faster," Spike replied, his face glowing red while Songbird laughed at him.
"What was I supposed to do?" she asked. "You gave me enough saliva to completely coat my hands in it, speaking of that." She put her finger on his nose. "You didn't tell me you had a secret weapon." She smiled as she leaned in to close. the smell of sex filled Spike's nose.
"Here's an idea!" Spike said jumping up "Why don't you take a shower first, while I set up the hot tub, get us some snacks, and set up a movie." Spike looked at her, begging her to say yes, his begging eyes got to her. He wanted to do so much more with her and she made it so hard not to just do it. He wasn't sure of how to broach the issue of a relationship not based on sex with her yet. He wanted to pursue her but what if it was just because he'd been her hero?
"Fine," She sighed as she got up "and I want my snacks as unhealthy as possible, you hear me?" She said as she made her way to the bath "This is my one month where I don't have to diet and I'm going to abuse the shit out of it!" Spike waved her off as she walked into the bathroom, and he proceeded to turn the hot tub on before going to grab his snack bag to set up the movie date he'd just promised.
Songbird made sure she was completely ready before leaving the bathroom. She had washed her mane, did a full body scrub, washed her tail, ran a file and polish on her nails once she got out of the tub. Finishing by styling her mane just the way she liked it, and put on her bathing suit, making absolutely sure that it only just covered her assets. She exited the bathroom, saw the hot tub froze.
Spike had set up the projector and the screen so they could watch with ease from the hot tub. He had set up multiple bags of chips, cookies, crackers, and candies behind the hot tub with cans and bottles of drinks ranging from soda to tea to water. Spike himself was looking at the movie options, having no idea with one to pick.
"Wow," Songbird said, just loud enough for Spike to hear.
He turned to her, upon seeing her form fitting suit his face turned bright red and he turned back to the reels before him. "So...um movies, we have Daring Do: Ahuizotl return, Power Ponies Reunited, or..." Spike froze as he read the next title and jumped to the next one, his hopes of skipping it died before they even formed.
"Oh no you don't," Songbird said with a devilish grin. "What's the third one?"
Spike sighed as he pointed to the third reel and read its name. "The Crystal Empire: The Lesser-known Story," Spike groaned at the smile on Songbird's face.
"There's a movie about you?" She asked with glee.
"It never got a wide release, only really featured in the Crystal Empire," He looked at her "And I have a hard time believing you didn't have it put on this ship,"
Songbird gave a somewhat innocent smile, "I asked to have any books or public recording of you put in our room so I could check to see if you have any lesser-known achievements," She pointed to the film shelf, "And it looks like you found one for me,"
“Great,” Spike muttered as he put the reel in the projector, Songbird watched in silence as she thought back to Spike’s behavior, he clearly wanted her if that show they just put on was anything to go off of, but at the same time, he was doing a heck of a job of holding her off. Once the reel was set up and Spike made sure the sound was good he started it up and got into the hot tub, he looked over at Songbird and scooted just slightly away.
"Alright Dragon boy," Songbird said as she leaned over to him and dragged him to her side. "You and I need to talk," She used a nearby controller to halt the movie. Spike opened his mouth to say something but Songbird cut him off. "I think it's about time you explain why you're so… resistant."
“Oh,” Spike looked at her for a moment. “Well… you see,” the spot of her mane he figured was hiding her eyes suddenly fascinating. “How do I put this into words,” Songbird sat in silence as Spike fumbled over himself trying to put his concerns into words.
“I have an idea,” Songbird said with a smile.
“And that idea would be?” Spike questioned.
Songbird took a breath and dunked her head into the water, Spike scooched back and sank down as she rose back up with a jiggle. He watched as she used her hands to force her wet mane out of her eyes and looked at Spike, who had now almost fully submerged in the water, his face bright red and steam coming from his nostrils as he stared into her pricing blue eyes. "Ok," Songbird said as she stared down at Spike, "Now, Why-" Spike burst from the water and said in one breath.
"I don't want a relationship based entirely on sex!" He blurted out. Just when he thought it couldn't get much worse his mouth continued, "I want it to be because I like you as a person, I'm just not sure if I actually like you or if I'm just sleeping with you!" Spike took a deep breath and ducked back into the water, now producing so much steam he was hidden in the cloud he was making.
Songbird looked down at him and thought back to all their interactions after meeting him, from kissing him on the stage, showing off her goods behind the divider all the way down to the joint masturbation session they had just had, she looked to the movie and watched Spike waving at the camera, child-like joy shining in his eye at getting his own movie, then back to the Spike hiding in the steam cloud.
Spike jumped a little when Songbird put her hand on his shoulder and smiled sweetly at him. "Spike," She said calmly "Why don't we get to know each other better? On a less intimate level and on a more personal level. I don't think I know anything about you as a person and I'd very much like to."
After a minute the steam cloud evaporated And Spike looked at her with a somewhat suspicious look in his eye. "You're not mad?" he questioned getting a laugh from Songbird.
"Spike the number of colts that have tried to sleep with me purely because I'm a pop star is ridiculous," She laughed for a moment before sighing, "I just ashamed I didn't notice I was doing the same thing," She gave Spike another smile and he rose from the water a little. "I've been trying to get with you because I viewed you like a hero that needed to be rewarded, I think it's about time I started looking at you like a dragon that needs to be loved," Spike was bright red as he rose from the water.
"Well," Spike said after a moment, "one of my favorite movies is the remake of Daring Doo: Ahuizotl return -" Songbird blinked and in unison with Spike added.
"Where they get Ahuizotl to play himself in the movie," Spike looked at Songbird in surprise.
"You know," Songbird said looking at the movie about Spike played, "I'm pretty sure you mentioned that when you were calling out movie options if you want we can watch it together," Spike looked at her for a moment before smiling back. Song quickly adds, "I'd like that very much and I promise no sexy stuff until we get to my vacation home," In an instant, Spike went from being on edge to casually reaching over Songbird and grabbing a soda.
As Spike made his way off the ship with the luggage he looked around at Songbird's property, the building stood at three stories tall with the third floor being a single large room. The entire building was maybe three times the size of the old Ponyville library.
"This is your vacation home!?" Spike blurted out in shock, "What's your actual home like?"
"Oh, it's about the same size," Songbird replied with a shrug as she joined him on the ground, "Oh and they couldn't save your stained pants or shorts so you and I will be doing some shopping later."
"How do you plan to go shopping when we're on an island?"
"There's a town nearby; Maybe 20 minutes by boat. My mini yacht can get us there easily."
Spike was baffled as they made their way towards the house and the ship behind them took sail, "I'm sorry, but you have a mini yacht?!"
"Bought it when I bought the island and had this place built," Songbird replied merrily as she pulled a key out of her pocket and unlocked the front door. Once inside Spike looked around the large home, a huge living room was what greeted them, alongside a kitchen and a dining room.
"Alright," Songbird said as she began the tour, "This is the living room, specifically crafted to watch movies, the kitchen was just stocked yesterday in prep for our arrival, dining room is over there, and if you'll follow me," Spike did just that as Songbird made her way down a hall and to a set of stairs and a room. "In here," She said, placing her hand on the door, ”is a changing room, bathroom, and an indoor pool that doubles as a bath," Songbird made her way to the second floor and Spike followed, He expected more rooms, instead he got one big ass room full of exercise equipment.
"Exercise room," Songbird said as she moved to the second set of stairs leading to the small third story "You don't get a figure like this by laying about all the time," She smacked her ass to reinforce her point. Spike looked around the room but didn’t have much time to take it all in, save for the fact that it was full of equipment, before Songbird grabbed his hand and gave him a large smile. “But up this flight of stairs is my favorite room,” Songbird led Spike to the final floor and he was met with a tiny hall and a door with a large set of double S’s on it. Songbird opened it and let him inside, closing the door as he took in the room, It had one large window giving them a great view of the ocean, it had a dresser with a T.V sitting on it, and taking up most of the room was a large bed with a large red blanket and multiple pillows.
Song dropped her bags on the table by the door and Spike laid his beneath it. "So this is all yours?" Spike questioned.
"Yep, the entire island and everything on it are property of Songbird Serenade," she pointed her thumbs at her chest, "me."
"Isn't this a little much? Especially seeing that you're one pony?"
Songbird tossed her mane a bit to get a better look at the curious dragon. "That's why you're here. We're going to make it less lonely." She wiggled her eyebrows. She looked around her room a bit herself, "It's been some time since I've visited this place myself." She started fanning herself with a lazy motion of her wing. "I don't remember it being this warm last time I was here."
"You have big feathery appendages and fur on a tropical island… Did you expect a blizzard?" Spike replied obliviously.
The pop star unbuttoned the top button of her blouse that revealed a hint of cleavage as she continued to fan herself. "Isn't it a bit warm in here for you?" She tilted her head and with soft eyes beckoning him to follow suit.
"Actually I might be a bit chilly for me. I'm a dragon after all."
Her shoulders slumped and her expression faltered briefly as she changed tactics. She strutted to him, "Aww, should I get my big handsome dragon a heating rock or maybe we could try to warm you up somehow…" She left the sentence hanging with desire.
"How about we share that heat of yours." He stared into the eye not covered by hair. She leaned in for a kiss but Spike leaned back and put a finger to her lips. “You’ve made every move so far, I think it’s my turn to make a few.” He wrapped an arm around her waist and held her head as he brought her in for a deep kiss that she so desperately wanted.
Songbird let out a sigh of contentment as they left their minds blank and enjoyed their company. She broke the kiss with a new fire in her. She grabbed Spike's collar and brought him nose to nose. "I'm tired of waiting; Let's fuck." Spike nodded furiously and started to fumble with his shirt. "Don't you dare. I need to thank my hero properly, wouldn't you agree?" She pushed him to sit on the bed, "Now how about we see what I have for my brave dragon." Song took to the air with the large room having more than enough clearance to host a play in. The pegasus hovered on her back while she removed her shoes by simply kicking them off. The angle gave Spike a direct view of her almost pure white cotton panties. Crucially there was a rather dark spot on them and Spike was transfixed on them. "Hey Spike."
He snapped out of his trance, "Uh yeah?"
She snapped another two buttons letting her bulging bosoms spread the fabric apart. "My tits are up here." She grinned. "They can be such trouble makers when I change clothes, would you mind holding them still for me?" She emphasized their unruliness and shook them back and forth in his face. Without waiting for him she grabbed his hands and placed them on her massive breasts. "See? They're already behaving so much better."
Spike licked his dry lips, "Can't have any troublesome tits on my watch." He gently squeezed and massaged the huge mounds of flesh. With her shirt unbuttoned and her large breasts in his face, he could see clear through the valley of cleavage that made his pants become awkwardly tight.
"It's so nice to have them under control for once, unfortunately there was an ambush!" She took the removed panties and dropped them on his snout with the moist spot on his nostrils. "A skirt with no bottoms is so relaxing and naughty. Wouldn't you agree Spike?"
The purple dragon sat there, tits in hands, inhands, with the scent of her nethers burned into his memory forever. "I can die now and not regret a thing." He thought to himself.
"Spike please keep them under control!" She shook her rack again but Spike held them firmly. "Nice work!" She reached under her blouse and shuffled her hands around a bit before withdrawing her bra from within. The size of each cup looked like you could transport watermelons with them and in fact had nearly been. She placed the garment over his eyes, pulled entirely away, then finished removing her clothes as fast as she could since he couldn't see her. "Spike don't be so ridiculous and remove my clothes from your face."
He jerked upright sending both bra and panties flying. In front of him was the nude form of a pop star that millions of stallions and mares would give their last bits just to see clothed. Her eyes were covered as usual but the big bow was absent, her wings stood proud and full, her DD tits had the perfect amount of sag for their size, her body was toned but not overly muscular without any imperfections in her flawless skin, she had taken the time to trim back her pubic hair but not remove her fur leaving a smooth and delectably wet marehood for him to see.
Drool dripped off Spike's mouth as he stared, "Hhhhhhhhh."
"Sexy huh?" Spike nodded slowly so his eyes wouldn't ever leave this slice of heaven. "Now it's your turn." She hungrily awaited the process to start. Spike rushed to remove his garments but again she stopped him, "No no no. Allow me." She ran her soft and agile hands under his shirt up the well toned muscles that made her squirm with need. Her patience wore thin and she yanked the covering over his head like it wasn't the first time she had. This time it had been her turn to stare in disbelief that she could witness her dreams come true. "It's amazing!" she squeed internally. She lets her gaze drift over his form as she ventured to his shorts that at this point did nothing but anger her. "Why don't you help me and stand up huh?" She dropped to the floor in a split that pressed her moist folds to the floor, smearing juice below her.
The shocked dragon stood wordlessly as his brain had melted earlier. Before she could even move to complete her goal, Spike had ripped off his shorts and dropped his boxers letting his erect member drop onto her face.
"You're finally going to play along with me now?" She drooled slightly as he had passed any expectations she may have had. "You ready for some fun?"
Spike's mind had been just coherent enough to growl out, "Yes!"
"Let me show you a trick I picked up while touring across the seas. I bet you'll love it." She brought her wings forward and sucked the first two primaries on both wings with the phallus still laid atop her muzzle. Once wet, she had let the rest of the saliva build on her tongue for immediate use. She drew back letting Spike's dragonhood stand on its own and carefully opened her maw.
Spike had to remind himself to breathe several times as she inched closer to the head with her mouth open wide. "I'm about to have my dick sucked by THE FREAKING SONGBIRD SERENADE!" he mentally screamed and cheered. She finally reached the tip and drew it in coating it in the saved spit. Spike let his shoulders slump in heavenly bliss as she wrapped her tongue around the tip. She didn't stop there or even slow as she continued down the dragon's member. When she didn't have enough spit to keep going, she brought her soaked feathers and ran them over his length providing the lube for her to keep going deeper. Spike sighed and held back a moan.
That didn't sit well with the diva who wanted to hear the effect she was having on the drake. "MMMMMMMMM!" She hummed down his length causing intense pleasure that caved in his inhibitions. The light fuchsia dragon let out a deep moan as the pleasure nearly curled his toes. "That's better." She thought as she finally buried her nose into his abdomen. She took a few moments to get used to the feeling and breathe through her nose.
Spike was in heaven as the warmth of her maw combined with the slick tightness surrounding him. "You were so right~"
"Of course I was." She thought smugly. After a few more moments she began to withdraw from him, slowly sliding the dragon from her she gave the tip a kiss before doing it again.
She wouldn't say that she had much practice but she would be a liar if she said she hadn't had some. She's a drop dead gorgeous pop star and could have anyone she really wanted so of course there had been some. Those lucky few were only a fraction as lucky as this dragon was about to be. She owed him multiple thanks and she wanted to thank him so much the last few days.
She bobbed her head steadily as she watched Spike's long tongue hang from his mouth. Her juices pooled as she imagined the things that tongue could achieve. "Fuck, he's so worth it!" As she sucked him off she could feel something changing and quickly pulled off. "*cough* No you don't mister. You warn a girl, and it's my turn!" She stood then took to the air, opened her legs and flew backwards onto Spike's face. She pressed him down slowly with his face between her legs, his long tongue already lapping at her labia. Unlike Spike she let no sound go unheard. She mewled, moaned, screamed, with each pass as he cleaned her marehood of all juice. Just when she was getting used to the sensations he slipped his snake like tongue into her folds to repeat the cleaning process. "Oh Spike! AAAAAAAHHHH!"
The dragon's soaked face smirked as he tried a modified technique he had learned cleaning mixing bowls. He outstretched more of his tongue and folded it back on itself making it twice as thick. That allowed him to slide the tip of it back out to assault the sensitive nub of nerves.
Her eyes bulged as she had suddenly lost control and her interior clamped down on him but the tongue thrashing he was giving didn't end, drawing out her orgasm. "UHHNN, OH SWEET CELESTIA!" She screamed to the ruler of Equestria.
Spike tried his best to elongate that sensation for her as he was rewarded with her sweet and tangy nectar. "Mmmmm."
It didn't last long as she tipped backwards and fell to the bed. "Oh my… how could you know to do that?" She asks breathlessly, basking in the afterglow.
Spike retracted his face and tongue causing her to squirm as it dragged its way out. "What, just because I'm a virgin doesn't mean I have no experience in oral." He grinned, her fluid still warm and dripping off his face. "Plus, I live in a massive library."
"Well virgin, you have better technique than anypony else I've ever been with or even heard of!"
"Not tired already, are you?" He watched her chest heave with each breath she drew. His dragonhood throbbed after being interrupted earlier.
"Listen here. After a tongue-ing like that, I need minute so how about a nice medium…" She took one of her large breasts in each hand and rubbed them on each other while not breaking eye contact with the drake. "Why don't you come mount this pony?"
Spike didn't need to be told twice as he clambered on the bed and straddled her. His hard member flopped into the valley of her large breasts, waiting to be given attention.
Songbird let go as she tiredly grinned, "How about a strong, handsome, dragon like you give a tired mare a hand huh? Don't be afraid to be rough either…" She added while she licked her lips. Spike thought about it for a few moments then decided what she meant. He took a nipple between his pointer and thumb with each hand and lifted her heavy assets as he pleased. "That's it! Play rough!" She felt her marehood moisten again as he yanked the tender flesh.
Spike grew confident in their actions and made a request, "How about some lube for these cushions?"
"Sure." She spit on her hand and grabbed his member to spread it. "Can't have my hero uncomfortable."
As soon as she had let go Spike began to stroke himself with her tits. The warm, soft, velvety texture mixed with the spit to make a wonderful experience he was sure no male had ever enjoyed. He enjoyed every little motion they made, like at the top and bottom of each stroke, due to their size, they wobbled and jiggled around him. "Dear sweet Celestia! You have amazing tits!"
"Tsk tsk. We haven't even gotten to the good part!" She struggled to not moan or cry as he treated her nipples roughly.
"Well why don't we? I'm ready if you are." Spike released her and she groaned in both relief and disappointment. He got up off of her and pulled her by her ankles till her rear was just barely on the edge of the mattress.
"Whoa! Take it easy."
"Oh don't give me that. This is exactly what you've been after since the dressing room. Besides you said it before, 'Play rough.' I'm just fulfilling your desires." She offered no resistance when he moved her ankles to his shoulders. He rubbed the tip of his dragonhood slowly up and down her soaked folds. She had tried to suppress a groan but failed as a drop of fluid leaked onto him. "I've wanted to do this for so long, but it was always just fantasy. This time you're here and oh so ready for me." Spike pressed his tip against her and it slipped in easily.
"FAUST YES!" She screamed out as he penetrated her. "All the way!" Not one to leave somepony hanging, he slowly pushes deeper. She lay there with her mouth open, tongue out in total bliss.
The dragon let out a puff of smoke as he inserted his full length, his pointed tip just kissed her deepest reaches. Spike groaned as he felt the vaginal muscles attempt to both pull him deeper and wring him dry.
For a minute the couple lay there just adjusting to the feeling of each other. Spike quivered as the warmth covered him in a tight grip. Song panted as she felt perfectly filled by the large rod he sported between his thighs. Both were in heaven like they had never been before. Spike however regained motion first and slowly retracted out of her. She mewled out in pleasure as the new shape scraped at her walls oh so delightfully.
Just before he pulled out he changed course and with increased speed pushed back in. He withdrew and sped up more with each consecutive plunge and that added levels of pleasure for both.
Never before did she have someone so perfectly sculpted for her pleasure. Each pull left her feeling empty, each thrust threatened to send her over the edge. It was a war of sensations and she wasn't prepared to fight it when her first orgasm hit her. Her eyes rolled back as her marehood clenched down on Spikes length. She trembled as the sensation of pure satisfaction graced her and made her folds drip.
Spike grit his teeth as he fought not to cum on the spot while her interior milked him for anything he could give. The mare had him in a death grip and refused to ease up as he fought. He held on till her trembling had passed and she relaxed her muscles.
The diva felt almost amazing, but there was something missing. A feeling she had felt before and enjoyed immensely, the feeling of a nice warm internal coating. Mentally screaming at the drake she looped her heels behind his back. "Oh no you don't dragon boy. You're going to let out that spunk if we have to go for the next 3 hours." Without enjoying the feeling of release from her drake, she wasn't near ready to call it quits.
"Wait! Shouldn't we be using protection?"
"You're a dragon. I'm a pony. Not happening, now fuck me!"
"No." He picked her up, turned around, and laid down on his back. "It's your turn."
Surprised by the action she grinned, "Oh hell yeah! Let me show you some fun." She grabbed his hands and guided them to her large breasts. "Why don't you keep them occupied?"
Spike grasped her bosoms firmly and made a mental note to hold them as long as he could. "Enjoy every single second!" He commanded himself. They were hefty and filled his hands and he loved it. "One thing though Birdy, no hands." His tail had crept up and wrapped her hands behind her, thrusting her chest outward into his grasp.
"You fight dirty... and I love it!" She dropped so that she was filled completely by the dragon's hot length. "Yesss!" She hissed. She raised herself up the rod and felt increasingly empty as she pulled all but the tip out. Letting gravity help her, she dropped back down and was rapidly stretched back out to fit. "Uuhhnn!"
Spike shifted his hands to a better position and firmly pinched her nipples while supporting the rest of their weight. He made sure that he wasn't going to be the only one enjoying themselves. He tugged lightly as he gently twisted them while she fucked herself upon him. In Spike's mind it had to be the best dream he'd ever had and hoped he'd die in his sleep, just to not wake up.
Songbird had let her tongue hang from her mouth as she spent every last bit of energy pleasing her savior. She moaned loudly with each thrust, while she received pleasure at both ends of her body. "Oh Spike the brave and glorious, give me your seed."
It was nearly the breaking point for the sex starved dragon and he fought it to no avail. His thrusts became erratic, "I'm gonna cum, Birdy!"
"Oh sweet Celestia, yes! Give it to me!" She plunged the rest of his dragonhood into her marehood with a loud, lusty, moan.
Spike's balls contracted as cum was pumped into her womb. "Grrrrr!" He shook from the overwhelming sensation that conquered his body. Song lost control of her body due to her mind being flooded with pleasure. She twitched and jerked as her own cum mixed with her dragons. She collapsed on top of the purple lizard who also had no real control at the time. They lay there drowning in the blissful afterglow of an afternoon romp in the sheets.
“So,” Spike said after catching his breath, “Was that worth the wait?”
“You're damn right it was,” Song replied, she sat in silence for a moment before she noticed his breathing had changed slightly. She looked into his eyes and found him fast asleep in her arms. She laughed and kissed his cheek before pulling the blankets over them and snuggling into his chest, “Night Spike.” Her heart fluttered in her chest while she watched him sleep, "Soon Spike, you will be mine." She thought before she drifted off to sleep herself.
Spike sat in silence as he bathed in the sunlight and thought back to how he had saved Songbird by existing. It just so happened to be in the way of her and a falling building and a Serpopard, but that's just extraneous details.
"I should send that monster a thank you present," He decided mentally before stretching on his deck chair and looking around at the ocean view before him. He was currently sitting on the deck of Songbird's 'mini-yacht' which looked like a standard yacht to him, making him question how big her normal one was.
As he was sunning on the deck, Songbird was steering them to the nearest town, lost in thought on how to go about things with Spike. "Is it too late for a romantic first date?" She pondered. "Was that concert our first date? Is this technically a date or are we just a couple going shopping?" Songbird looked out at the town in the distance and decided she had nothing to lose in asking. She turned out her mic so her voice could easily be heard. "Hey Spike, wanna get lunch before we go replace your lost pants?" Song couldn't hear his response but she saw him raise his arm up, thumb extended eagerly. "Great!" She sang back merrily before turning off the intercom. “Couple stuff, just me and Spike.”
Spike looked up to where his captain was and smiled as he got comfy in his seat. “This is gonna go well,”
-Later-
“That is not a town,” Spike said as they closed in on their destination “That is a city!” Before them was an out of place dock. The decrepit and derelict structure was in dire need of repair and as such only a handful of vesicles were using its services. Beyond the dock, Spike could see more than a few neon signs and many winged creatures ranging from ponies to other dragons flying around in a fair number of cloud-based sections of the city. “What is this?” he asked in confusion as he gestured to it.
“A chunk of Las Pegasus and Cloudsdale were torn off when the Stormking’s army came. The airships sent them flying and they crashed right here. The quaint little town that used to be here is now a new hotspot for pegasi. Merchants even sell a powder so any creature may walk on the clouds for a limited time, about 74 hours if I remember correctly.” She smiled as they got to the dock.
“Spike, can you tie us to the dock? I have to go rent this spot for the day.” Songbird extended her wings and flew out to do just that, while Spike began his work of tying the boat down. The drake was puzzled when he saw something rushing his way, something familiar, something leaving a rainbow trail behind it in its rush.
“Rainbow?” Spike managed to question before his friend landed next to him.
“Spike!” Rainbow cheered, “The fuck are you doing here?”
“The fuck me? The fuck you?” Spike shot back as he finished tying the boat down and turned to her.
“Are you kidding me? The Wild Blue Yonder is reopening here, The Gold Horseshoe Gals told me about it. I didn’t even know this place existed until yesterday!”
Spike chuckled. “I didn’t know it existed up until about 50 seconds ago,” he countered as he looked up for a moment.
“So how have things gone with the diva?” Rainbow asked with a shit-eating grin. “I didn’t bring the porn sash but I could probably find something like it if I look hard enough.”
“Things are going good, and I don’t need any articles of clothing exclaiming my successful sex life or lack of it,”
"The world has to know!” Rainbow exclaimed dramatically, “And so do I!" Spike tried to retort and keep their pointless debate going however Songbird had just returned from renting the dock, “Oh! Miss Dash, what a nice surprise. What brings you here?”
“Rollercoaster, you?"
“All of Spike's pants were ruined in an unfortunate accident.” There was a moment of silence before Rainbow began giggling. Her giggles quickly escalated to exasperated laughter.
“So many jokes, so little time!” As Rainbow pondered the real questions in life, Songbird made her way over to Spike and pet his back. “So, where are we going for lunch?” she asked sweetly before adding. "Oh, and before I forget, Photo Finish is in town. I set up a dinner date so we can work on getting your heroics better known.” Spike glared suspiciously, “You expect me to believe that not only is Photo Finish coincidentally here, but she, for no particular reason, told you she'd be here?” “I may have cashed in a favor or two so she’d come down and help me with getting you into the public eye.” Songbird gave a devious smile before adding, “Photo took a lot of time off from her busy schedule to do this, you're not gonna say no and waste both her time and resources are you?” Spike frowned and Songbird added, “I did this before we had our talk and it was too late to cancel. Please, just this one thing... for me?” Spike didn’t respond for a minute before turning to Rainbow who had gone from laughing to listening. “What do you think I should do, Rainbow?” “Go for it,” The cerulean pegasus answered with a smile before adding deviously, “Maybe Photo will fall for you too.” She added an extra eyebrow wiggle for emphasis. “Ha-ha,” Spike replied dryly before turning back to Songbird, “Fine, but I want a clean pair of pants before I have dinner with Photo Finish.” Songbird grinned at him. “My, what a mighty request." She snaps her finger with a look of sarcastic realization, "You know, I feel like I can meet your demands, you sweet thing you. Now I hate to cut your reunion short but time is of the essence for all of us.” Songbird then faced Rainbow, “Unless I'm missing my mark, you're here to ride The Wild Blue Yonder, which closes in about 20 minutes or so.” There was a gust of blue wind and Rainbow was gone. They could only just hear the cry of farewell to the duo as she rushed to make it to the ride on time. “Alright Spikey, first lunch, then your pants. So where are we eating?” "Well, as I have no idea where I am or what's around, how about we take a walk through the streets and see what's good?" "You know what, I like that idea." She wraps around his arm, "Lead the way my mighty dragon."
----
The two made their way away from the docks and towards the ‘town’ as Songbird insisted on calling it and Spike got the best view of it yet, the ground level of it had a noticeable lack of maintenance just like the suddenly less out of place dock.
“Why does this place look so bad?” he questioned.
“Well up until fairly recently, this town's most remarkable tourist attraction was that I once went shopping here. Given some time it’ll probably get a makeover, that or end up turning entirely into a cloud city.”
Spike gave a once over at the ground level of the city. “Not seeing any restaurants round these parts,” he noted before looking up and spotting a district of clouds with more than its fair share of food-related advertisements. “Nevermind I found them,” Spike frowned as he looked up at the cloud district holding the Restaurants, as he looked up at it he could see a fair number of Pegasie pushing smaller clouds around it and the rest of the clouds, one of them landed down the street and an Earthpony jumped off the cloud and tossed a few bits to the pegasus before heading to one of the rundown looking buildings. “Alright so all I need is one of those walking on cloud spells,” before Spike could ask about it he was startled by Songbird giving a Taxi cab whistle, without hesitation, the Pegasus who had just landed grabbed his cloud and rushed to them.
“First time or Running low?” He asked as he set the cloud next to them.
“First time,” Songbird said pointing to Spike “and Returning customer,” The Pegasus didn’t even so much as bat an eye at Songbird as he reached into a fanny pack and tossed her a plastic bottle and she gave him 30 bits “I’m paying for him,” She said as she Pegasus did an impressive fast count of the bits.
“Name,” He said as he pulled out a second plastic bottle.
“Songbird and Spike,”
“Hello I am Winter Winds I’ll be your Cloud carrier today, Alright Mr.Spike please take this potion and drink it in one go, failure to do so might result in the Spell prematurely evaporating,” Spike looked at the plastic bottle then to the Cloud carrier who instantly gave him two answers to questions he might be having.
“It’s in a plastic bottle cause glass isn’t allowed on clouds for safety reasons. When the spell starts evaporating you won’t just instantly plummet through the clouds you’ll start slowly sinking, you’ll have about half an hour to get another potion before you do plummet though so keep an eye out for that,” Spike took a breath and exhaled before chugging the potion as fast as he could, lucky it had no taste to it so it was pretty easy to chug down. Once they had both finished they both stepped onto the cloud and Winter Winds repositioned himself before taking flight and hovering the cloud a little above the ground
“Where might I take you this fine day?”
“The Restaurant district please,” Songbird asked and after giving a thumbs up they headed up.
