//------------------------------// // Friendship is Magic(Celebration) // Story: Dragonfire 🐲 Enter The Dragon Hero 🐲 // by Phantom-Dragon //------------------------------// [Japanese:Passion-Utaka Hikaru] [English:Sanctuary-Utaka Hikaru] At first, Spike could only see darkness, before his ears perked, hearing a faint voice singing. Spike looked, before he notices a mirror, in the shape of a horseshoe. Walking up close, at first, Spike could only see his reflection, before Princess Celestia joined in, followed by some ponies, griffons, dragons, etc. Reaching out, Spike touched the glass. Then, without warning, the mirror exploded, and Spike was thrown off his feet, and spun in midair. Shaking his head, Spike looked to his astonishment, seeing pegasi of all shapes and sizes, flying by, pushing clouds, and breaking some, all the while not taking notice of Spike. Spike looked at himself once more, and was shocked to see himself, in his newly evolved dragon form, with his newfound wings, horns, and whiskers. Spike jerked his head up, as he once more hears the voice, which he turns around, and was greeted with the dream apparition of his mother. The motherly alicorn princess, standing on top of a lone cloud, sang with the passion from her heart, while the pegasi all flew around her, displaying a colorful scene. The alicorn looked up, with half of her face shrouded in her mane, while her exposed left eye pierced Spike's soul. The alicorn smiled, as she walked over to the dragon, midair and all. Spike watched, anxiously, as Celestia placed a hoof beneath his chin, bringing his face up to look into her loving eyes. The alicorn continued her singing, while her horn glowed in a gold aura. Next thing Spike knew, both he and his mother were warped to Canterlot Castle, his former home, where he finds himself, surrounded by armored ponies, all banging their drums, loudly. Both Spike and Celestia kept walking down the hall, before they arrived in a courtyard, where Celestia stomped her hoof on the ground, and in a flash of light, many girls all appeared, in human forms, dressed in beautiful attires, as they did their graceful dance around the princess and prince. Some of the girls were the Mane Six, Sunset Shimmer, and some he's familiar with, while some others are those he has yet to see again. Spike looked, taken in by the beautiful performances of the girls, until he felt a tug on his whisker, causing him to turn his head in the direction of the tug, to see a well-endowed girl, with freckles, and tribal paintings, that framed her fiery red eyes, and scruffy blue hair. The girl smirked, as she breathed a jet of purple fire, which took the form of a dragon, as it flew around her, while she does a graceful dance. Spike felt smitten, as his face was heating up, followed by an erection from his wings. Then, three more girls came and got his attention. The first girl, possibly the leader, had a big, orange, poofy hair, tied in a ponytail, with a spike purple band, and curling locks that framed her beautiful face. The second girl, had a purple hair, with green highlights, tied in pigtails, with two bands in the shapes of stars, and had straight locks that framed her face. The third girl, simply has a light blue hair, with darker stripes, tied in a ponytail. The three girls, swayed their hips and arms around. If they're trying to cast a hypnotic spell on Spike, then it's definitely working, as he couldn't take his eyes off of them. Joining with the three girls, was another well-endowed girl, with dark grayish indigo hair, and moderate opal highlights, tied in a ponytail. The girls smiled flirtatiously, as she swayed her hips around, and flicked her hair in Spike's direction. The young dragon thought he felt a breeze, blowing his way, from the girl's hair whip. Then, another girl appeared, out of the sky, surrounded by an aura of light turquoise. Waving her hands, the girl conjured a long staff, with the tip in the shape of a horseshoe, as she created a wave of waters that formed in the shape of fishes, as they flew around him. Feeling flattered, Spike smiled, before he suddenly turned himself back into a human. Spike took the moment to collect himself, before he noticed that he was clad in a purple hanfu, with gold trimmings, along with a golden Asian dragon decorated along the front and back. Furthermore, Spike looked to see he wore purple silk pants, over a pair of white socks, and black shoes. Furthermore, looking at his reflection in a nearby pond, Spike could see his hair, done up in a bun. In appearance, Spike looked almost like a young traditional, imperial prince of Asia. The girls all gathered around the young prince, all embracing him closely, and each of them expressing their love for the Dragon Prince. Spike smiled, as he returns the embraces, while his mother continued to sing beautifully. Speaking of, Celestia's whole body was engulfed in a shimmering coat of bright light, as she suddenly takes the form of, what appears to be a human being, with a flowing hair, and angelic wings, surrounded in a blinding light. Spike could hardly make out his adopted mother's appearance, but he did managed to see that she was holding her arms out, welcoming him for another hug, like any mother would. Spike smiled as he walked over, and felt himself, tenderly embraced, close to his mother's chest, feeling the warmth of her love. Real World Spike was still in bed, as he hugged whom he thought was his mother. Then, his nose twitched, as he picked up the scents of strawberry, cotton candy, apples, marshmallow, skittles, mints, and bacon. 'Wait, what?' Spike thought, before he slowly opened his eyes, to find himself, in bed, and with the girls, Sunset Shimmer, Lyra, Bon Bon, Fleur included, all over him. 'Wh-how did this happened?' he asked, until he felt a pair of arms, holding him closer. Spike turned his head, to see Fluttershy, happily holding him close, along with Twilight, Pinkie, and all the other girls in bed with him. 'Either this is another dream I'm having,' Spike thought happily. 'Or I must be the luckiest guy there ever lived!' Spike smiled, feeling content in the state he's in, until he felt the girls, tightening their grips on him, making it hard for the boy to breathe. 'Then again, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, if I'm not being smothered with affection!' With that, Spike tried to squirm his way free from the girls' loving grips. But each time he makes a move, the girls only hold him down, even tighter. It didn't take long, when Spike felt two soft mounds pressed into him, that out of impulse, his new wings burst out of his back, knocking the girls off him, and woke them up. "Morning already?" Rainbow groaned, as she wipes the sleep out of her eyes. It didn't take long for her and the girls to see the young dragon, with his new wings flared out. "Oh, morning Spike," Rainbow smirked. "I didn't know I could turn a switch on you." "What?" Spike looked back to see his wings opened. "Oh, that. I honestly have no idea how that happened," he said, while trying to get his wings under control. "Wait a minute," He took another look at his new wings, "I actually did it?" "You sure did!" Pinkie cheered, as she jumped on the boy, and shook him violently. "You fought Nightmare Moon! You beat the Shadowbolts! AND YOU SAVED US ALL!!" "You're a hero!" Fluttershy cheered, loudly. "And to top it off!" Rainbow added, as she held out one of Spike's wing. "Spike's got wings! Which means, a new flying buddy!" She smiled, as she pulled Spike in a loving embrace. "This calls for a celebration," Rarity added, which Fleur, Lyra, Bon Bon, and Sunset all voiced their agreements to. "DRAGON PAAAAAAAAARTTTTTTTYYYYYY!!!" Pinkie cheered, before she blew a noisemaker. "AND AN APOLOGY PARTY TO SUNSET SHIMMMMEEEEEEEERRR!!! DOUBLE PARTY!!!" With that, Pinkie blew two noisemakers. "But first things first," Twilight began. "We've got school." With that, the gang all let out exasperated groans. "Oh, Twilight," Rainbow groaned. "You're such a buzzkill!" "Sorry girls," Twilight began, before Spike cleared his throat. "And boy. But I'd rather arrive to class on time, than to try and come up with an excuse with Professor Flintheart." With that, the girl shook her head, as she shuddered in fright. Knowing their friend had a point, they decided to get themselves ready. After they had a quick waking spell of course. [William Temptation - Forgiven] During the weekdays, Scorpan was out of town, leaving the house all to Spike's. Of course, the boy was never alone, since he's get some chances to hang with the boys. Meanwhile, the girls, per Spike's suggestion, took the time to once more socialize with Sunset Shimmer, in an attempt to earn the fiery headed girl's forgiveness. But none were more determined to earn her forgiveness, than Sweetie Belle herself. Turns out, Sweetie Belle was sympathizing with Rarity, who at the time, was still heartbroken at Spike's departure. Sweetie Belle, believing her cutie mark would be to make ponies happy, had tried numerous accounts to cheer her sister up, all of which ended in failure. Wishing to find a way to make her sister happy, the Shadowbolt entered the picture. Giving her a small booklet, said to contain instructions to making Rarity happy again. As proof, Sweetie Bell showed them the now destroyed booklet, with a hole pierced through, and its covers covered in burnt soots. Turns out, the booklet had a magical grip on the girl, brainwashing her to do the Shadowbolt's every commands. In other words, the Shadowbolt had Sweetie Belle in a trance, which she later broke free from. When Sweetie Belle tried to get rid of the booklet, the booklet exploded, resulting in the fire. With that, Sunset forgave the little girl, partially. While it is understandable that Sweetie Belle fell victim to the Shadowbolt's mind control, the fact that she didn't inform the authorities earlier, following the fire that nearly destroyed Ponyville was inexcusable. For that, the girls, mainly Sunset and Rarity, were highly disappointed. As punishment, once they return to Equestria, Sweetie Belle will be grounded, as well as being sentenced to a series of community services for all the ponies in Ponyville, and a series of scrolls she will be writing to Princess Celestia, regarding to how she will have better rationale thinking, and be able to tell the truth in the nearest future. All which the young girl accepted. Furthermore, the Three Stooges were freed from their hypnotic trances. However, they had no recollection of their actions, during their times as slaves of Sunburn and the Shadowbolts. Few Days Later At last Friday arrived. Spike, joined by the Five Guys, all flooded out of the school, eager for some R&R. "Y'know boys, I've been thinking," Button voiced. "The name five guys isn't as cool as we all thought. I mean, when people say it, they're just gonna think about the restaurant and not us." "That's the idea, isn't it?" Feathers added. "That was the place where we first got together and formed our team." "Yeah, but nobody's interested in that," Button replied. "So, got any ideas for our team's name?" Rumble asked. "I was thinking maybe, the Five Knights!" The boys all thought about the name, taking a liking to it. "Sounds cool," Spike replied. "Though, what gave you the idea Button?" "Well, just think for a moment," Button explained. "You know how Spike here, is a prince from another world?" the boys all voiced their agreements. "And we were trained to fight besides him? And not because he's a prince, but because he's our friend?" the boys all exchanged agreements, as Button continues, "So, we're fighting together, with our bro, as a team!" The boys all nodded their heads, in acknowledgement. "Y'know, it's got a nice ring to it," Tender replied. "No kidding," Spike smiled. "Yeah!" Rumble cheered. "Yeah!" Feathers and Pip joined in. "YEEEEAAAAH!!!" Bulk Bicep cheered, out of nowhere, earning some bewildered looks from the boys. "Sorry," the athletic boy apologized. "Just heard someone cheering and joined in," the boy chuckled before he took his leave, "Gotta go." Spike soon turned to the Knights, "Oh yeah!" With that, the boys all shared each other a series of secret handshakes, high-fives, chest bumps, and other moves. At last, the boys all made it to Spike's resident. Upon entering, however, the boys were all greeted with the lights turning on, and a series of noisemakers, and streamers. "SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!!!" Pinkie cheered, along with the girls. "BWAH!!!" the boys screamed, as they all rapidly beat their hearts. "Welcome home, Spike!" Fluttershy greeted, as she ran up to the boy, only for Pinkie to beat her to it. "HAPPY RETURN TO EQUESTRIA DAY!!" Pinkie cheered. "Happy Return to Equestria Day?" Spike asked. "Since when is-wait, am I?" "Definitely!" Fluttershy smiled. "We're all going back to Equestria! It's so exciting, I could just scream! Yay!" the shy girl cheered, quietly and happily. Spike could only believe what he's hearing. "Look at him," Applejack smirked. "He's so surprised, he could hardly talk." "How does it feel big guy?" Rainbow smirked, nudging the boy to the side. "Excited to be going back?" "I-I-I," Spike stammered. "You have to ask? To go back home? Back with mom? With you girls? To a land of harmony, magic, and adventure? It's a dream come true!" He smiled, before he looked around and asked, "Though, where's Uncle Scorpan? Isn't he supposed to be here, celebrating?" "Well, General Scorpan's already left to make some preparations for your return," Fleur explained. "He said that, even though you've succeeded in defeating Nightmare Moon and the Shadowbolts, he's still not taking any chances for your life." "She's right," Lyra replied. "And so is General Scorpan. The Shadowbolts may have been defeated, but not permanently." Spike nodded in agreement, before Applejack lifted the mood, "But no matter what happens, and whatever comes our way, we'll be ready for them!" "And don't forget Spike," Button added, as he placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. "You've got us to back you up." "Yeah!" Rumble added. "We're in this fight, just as much as you are." "That makes all of us!" Twilight smiled, as she and the rest of the girls all voiced their agreements. "Thanks everyone," Spike smiled. "Let's get this party started!" Spike declared, resulting in another cheer from his friends. As the party was being thrown, Spike and the girls all took the chances to catch up on lost times, while the boys enjoyed some party activities with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, along with some new arrivals, in the form of some girls, named Moondancer, Minuette, Lemon Heart, and Twinkleshine. Moondancer and Minuette are the girls from chemistry class, along with Minuette. In appearance, Moondancer looked almost like a striking resemblance of Twilight, including the glasses, framing her dark purple eyes. The exception however, would be that she has brilliant amaranth hair with moderate purple and grayish violet highlights, with the bangs tied up in a knot, by a pair of pink beads. For attires, she work a black sweater, a red plated skirt, secured by a belt with a buckle that's decorated with a crescent moon and stars, purple knee socks with red stripes, and black boots. Minuette has moderate sapphire blue eyes, matching long, scruffy hair with persian bluish gray stripes. For attires, she wore a light cornflower blue t-shirt, decorated with an image of the hourglass on the front, dark blue jean mini-skirt, white knee socks, and purple shoes. Lemon Hearts has moderate raspberry eyes, moderate cerulean hair done up in curls at the top and bottom. For attires, she wore a white t-shirt, a light brilliant yellow skirt, tied with a light pistachio ribbon at the waist, yellow knee sock with white stripes, and cerulean shoes. Lastly, Twinkleshine has arctic blue eyes, and pale cerise hair done up the same style as Lemon Heart's. For attires, she wore a light goldish gray dress with pink sleeves, violet socks and white shoes. "So Spike!" Minuette spoke happily. "Is it true? You finally remember again?" "Um, yes Minuette," Spike replied. "Though, I remembered you had braces the last time we met. Minuette squealed in delight, as she happily embraces the dragon boy, "You remembered!!" "Amazing," Lemon Hearts smiled. Moondancer smiled, as she shyly stepped forward, "Hey Spike," the girl began. "I just wanted to ask: Do you remember the gift you gave to me? When I threw my first party?" Spike closed his eyes, as he remembered, "On that day, in Canterlot, I arrived, with a teddy bear that I won at a carnival in Ponyville. I had it wrapped, together with a portrait of you, Twilight, Minuette, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, and Lyra." Next thing Spike knew, he was embraced by a happy Moondancer. "You finally came back!" the girl smiled. Spike chuckled sheepishly, "Sorry it took so long." "No need to apologize Spike," Minuette smiled, as she joined in the hug. "We're just glad you're okay." Soon, all the others girls joined the hug. Spike, blushing up a storm, felt another burst from his back, as his wings flared out and wrapped around most of the girls. "Aw!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo awed, at the sight. The boys, some feeling envy, smirked in respect for their friend. After that loving moments, the girls' friend, Vinyl Scratch, or DJ Pon-3, came over with a turntable. Vinyl Scratch, another girl from Equestria, and another friend of Spike, is Ponyville's resident DJ. In appearance, she has a scruffy moderate cobalt blue hair with brilliant cyan stripes. For attires, she wore a white, zipped up, jacket with blue stripes on the shoulders and at the hem, white skirt with a music note, dark purple pants, decorated with light purple lightning bolts, and shoes that matched the theme of her outfit. The girl's defining trait of all, is a pair of purple shades, concealing her moderate cerise eyes. Following the DJ, is her boyfriend, Neon Lights, who is also a resident DJ of Ponyville, and a friend of Spike and the girls. In appearance, he has a dark gray hair, don up in a mohawk. For attires, he wore a black jacket, with a white neck tie, over a gray t-shirt that is decorated with stars, long black pants with checkered patches on the side, and black shoes. And like Vinyl, Neon also wear a pair of dark shades that concealed his moderate cerulean eyes. "Hi Vinyl!" Pinkie cheered, as she bounced over to the two DJs. "Hey Neon!" "Hey look who it is!" Neon smiled. "Pinkie Pie~" Vinyl smiled, as she and the party girl shared a secret handshake. With a smile, Pinkie turned around as she pulled Spike over, "Spike!" Pinkie began. "It's my pleasure to re-introduce you to Vinyl Scratch!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "And Neon Light!" "Sup!" "Long time no see," Spike replied, as he exchanged handshakes, and fist bumps. "I'll say," Vinyl smiled. "So awesome to meet you again, Spike! Pinkie's told us the whole thing, and boy were we surprised to hear the news about your battle with Nightmare Moon!" "And just in time, too!" Neon added. "We've been composing a surprise for ya." "Really?" Spike asked. "What is it?" With a nod, Vinyl said, "Hit it!" With that, Neon quickly plugged the systems in, and some beats were turned on. Pinkie gasped, "It's my favorite song!" she cheered. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, YEEESSSSS!!!" With that, she dragged Spike out onto the dance floor, "C'mon Spikinator! Let's party!" With that, Pinkie waved her body and danced to the rhythm of the song, along with Spike, who later complied after he felt the groove. As the DJ couples worked their magic, Spike and Pinkie both rocked it out like it was no tomorrow. Spike stopped his dance, as he watched Pinkie Pie busting out some breakdance moves. First, she did several headpins, with her hairs looking like it grew some legs, before she flipped herself in the air and did some baby spins, then the jackhammer, before she ended with a head slide. After she did another flip, Pinkie pointed her fingers to Spike, "Show me what you got!" Pinkie smirked. Not backing down from a challenge, Spike tapped his foot, and waved his arms, getting himself warmed up, before he really starts to groove it. Getting down on his hands, while keeping his legs up, Spike spun himself around in the baby spins, before he did the jackhammer. Taking up a notch, Spike thrusted his legs out, doing a series of air flares, before he brought his legs down, to do the deadman float. Soon, Spike ended his dance, as he pushed the ground, launching himself in the air, and did a flip, and landed on one leg, with his arms stretched out, like wings. The boys and girls all clapped cheered for the two performances, right when the song ended. "Awesome moves, Spike!" Neon said in a microphone. "Nice to see ya still got the moves." "I blame Pinkie and Tender Taps for them," Spike replied, as the two said friends smiled. "Hey! I've got a song for you," Twilight called out. "It's the song you once wrote for us." This got the party goers' attentions, "Did you really?" Applejack asked the boy with interests. Spike scratched his head, as he replied, "It's kind of a work in progress." "Well, by all means Spike," Applejack smiled. "Sing it." "I don't know," In response, the girls, and boys, kept on urging the dragon to sing, until finally, "Okay, okay." With that, Neon Light and Vinyl Scratch both played the music for the song. Though, Spike made some mental adjustments to it.

The boys looked at their friend with pride. "Way to go, Spike," Button smirked, before he noticed a crestfallen Sweetie Belle nearby. Wanting to cheer her up, Button went over to the girl, "I heard what happened." "Guess you're gonna hate me for causing Sunburn's birth, aren't you?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Nope." "You're not?" "Nope." "I don't understand." "It wasn't your fault Sweetie Belle. Not entirely that is. Mostly it was that Shadow jerk's fault.

"That's sweet of you Button," Sweetie Belle smiled. "But this is something I have to do by myself." The girl then pulled the boy in for a loving embrace, "But thanks for the offer." Button blushed as he returned the embrace. [Diddy - Dirty Money - Coming Home ft. Skylar Grey] That night, the Mane Six, Lyra, Bon Bon, Sunset, and Fleur, were once more, sleeping together with Spike, in his room. The Knights in the meantime, were sleeping in some sleeping bags, in the lobby, with Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Moondancer, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, Minuette, and the DJs. As Spike entered the room, boy changed himself into a puppy. The girls were more content with embracing a cute puppy in their sleep. "You're like an adorable little teddy bear!" Fluttershy smiled, holding the dog close, along with the girls. Spike smiled, feeling the love around him. Afterwards, both he and the girls started to settle in, as they got under the covers. "Hey girls," Spike said, catching their attentions. "Thank you, for not giving up on me." "Shoot Spike," Applejack smiled. "We never stopped, hoping to see you again." "Definitely," Fluttershy added. "I've always dreamed that I would hold you, as a puppy, in my arms again." "Princess Celestia made sure of that," Twilight added. " Spike smiled even more, at the mention of his mother's name, "Guess my mother knew who to put her faith in. You, uncle, and all the others at CHS." Fleur quickly cleared her throat, on her, Lyra, and Bon Bon's behalf, "And Crystal Preps," Fleur smiled, before Spike continues. "And I'm glad she did. Cause now, I'm coming home. Back where I belong, and back to you girls." The girls smiled brightly, before the young dragon concluded, "I love you girls." The girls gasped, before Spike quickly covered his mouth, too late. "Oh, sugarcube!" Applejack began. "The truth is...." the country girl smiled, as the others followed. "We love you too, Spike!" the girls answered, as they all gave him a kiss, causing him to transform out of control, between a boy, a puppy, a dragon, a frog, a fish, with his wings sprouting, and his whiskers standing on ends. "Do these whiskers make me look old?" Spike asked.
