Twilight was laying in her bed with her eyes closed, still unconscious from her assistant's way to calm her down.

Unknown to her, four dragons were sneaking under her castle through tunnels they dug. With no light in the tunnels, only darkness could be seen, only with their fire breath could they find their direction.

"Are you sure we should be doing this. Dim said we should wait for her order." One of them said.

"Will you shut it?" The one who was second in command said. "I know what I'm doing. We go in there, use these rings that Dim gave us, and get out with a princess without magic."

"But-"

"I said shut up! Dim will take too long to become good friends with them. So we'll take action the better way. Now follow me or go home."





Spike and Dim Sum walked together in one of the many halls. Dim Sum looked left and right every second while fluttering her wings a bit.

"I was going to go gem mining with my friend, Rarity," Spike said as he walked with his arms stretched up behind his head. "I know you'll love it! You know... because we're dragons."

Dim Sum didn't reply.

"Besides, I have more recipes I want you to try. I never really got someone to taste test gem recipes before."

"Who is this Rarity?" Dim asked.

"Oh! She's a nice and beautiful unicorn that designs clothes. She's so beautiful in fact that I even had a crush on her before. Funny right?" Spike giggled to himself.

"What kind of dragon is this? It's like he's a pony in disguise." Dim said in disbelief.

"Anyways, I was headed there today to help her out. So I thought you'd love to come too."

Dim Sum grunted under her breath. Spike heard her.

"You get a reward at the end~" Spike said in a sing-song voice.

"D-don't tell me they treat him like a pet animal and he's okay with it! I heard that these ponies have the ability to use magic. They probably have mind control spells..." Dim Sum's eyes went wide.

Spike looked over to his new dragon friend and saw her expression. "It's not a cheap reward either heh heh..." Not anymore anyways.

It took the two ten minutes to get to Carousel Boutique on foot, coming across many surprised but friendly faces on the way. Mostly because they never saw a non-hostile dragon other than Spike in their lives.

Spike and Dim Sum walked up to the front door of the Boutique and knocked because it was closed currently. They heard some distant hoof steps coming towards the door right before it opened.

"Hello, Spike, and- Oh! Who's this beautiful young dragon you have here?" Rarity asked.

"This is Dim Sum! She's a nice lady dragon that Twilight found outside last night beaten up." Spike told. "So she brought her into the castle and we took care of her."

"Oh my Celestia, that's terrible! But I see now that you're okay. I'm Rarity, nice to meet you." Rarity raised a hoof and shook Dim Sum's claw with it.

"Nice to meet you as well." The girl dragon replied.

"I'm proud of you for taking care of her Spike."

"Thanks," Spike grinned. "By the way. I was wondering if she could come with us to go gem mining?"

"Why sure, of course, Spikey! With another set of claws and tail, we'll get more this round. And that also means more rewards for my assistants." She rubbed both of their heads  playfully which made them flinch and close their eyes. "Come inside while I get my things." She stepped aside and let the two inside. 

Spike and Dim Sum sat on a nearby couch and waited patiently for Rarity.

Dim looked around and stared at the many dresses and mannequins taking space in Rarity's Boutique.

"Like the dresses huh? Ask her nicely and you'll get a discount." Spike told her.

Dim looked at Spike for a second before turning away and starting to stare at the surroundings again.

"Alright!" Rarity walked into the room wearing a hardhat and a saddlebag. "I've got my things!" Rarity looked at Dim Sum who was still staring at the dresses. She stared at her for a moment until her eyes sparkled. "Oh! I've just figured out the perfect design that matches with the color or your scales Dim Sum!" She gasped with a little too much drama for Spike, who just stared at Rarity with a knowing look while she spoke. "Just imagine, Rarity Belle not only designing clothing for ponies, donkeys, princes and princesses but also for dragons! It's going to be the one push my Boutique needs to step up to the next level!" She then looked at Spike who was raising an eyebrow at her. "What?"

He still stared.

Rarity sighed and slapped her forehead. "Let's just get going.





Rarity stepped up to the digging site that Spike found the other day. Her horn glowed in her blue magic and very soon a wave of her blue magic swept the ground nearby them, revealing gems hidden in the ground.

Spike walked up beside her and held her shoulder with his claw. Soon after, another wave, this time being lime green, swept the ground in a larger radius.

"I don't know how to do the spell like you do," Spike said. "But I can buff it a little when you use it."

That's when they started to go around and dig up the gems. Rarity used her magic to her best capabilities to pick up nearby revealed gems while Spike flew up and used his magic to grab many of the gems far away to Dim amazement. "He can control so much of his fire magic?" She thought. "I want to know his limit. Perhaps if he has enough I can save him from this slavery."

They all continued to dig up the gems until the sun was almost down.





Two dragons and one unicorn walked away from the sunset as they spoke to one another.

"Here you go. It's the least I can do for such hard workers." She gave a full bag of gems to each of them. "And if you need anymore we do have all of these." She looked at the wagon holding a huge pile of gems she was pulling.

"That's okay, Rarity. This is fine." Spike smiled at her.

Dim took out a single ruby and inspected it a little before tossing it in her mouth to eat. Spike giggled at this action, which she couldn't comment on if she wanted to because her mouth was full.





Meanwhile

It was quiet in the friendship castle, the only noise one could hear would be Twilight's faint snoring, but even that was quiet.

Then there was some rumbling below.

Then some footsteps.

Then a door creaking open.

...

Growl...
