//------------------------------// // A Brother's Advice // Story: Spike The Alicorn // by Spikemaster105 //------------------------------// The crusaders were in there club house, talking about getting their cutie marks while Spike was at the Castle getting magic lessons. They were disappointed that he couldn't show up. "All right girls, what should we do today....girls?" Apple Bloom said, but they were not listening, they were daydreaming with smiles on there faces. "Sweetie Belle? Scootaloo?" She called them. "Yes Spike?" Sweetie Belle said daydreaming still, then she covered her mouth with a blush. The girls giggled, "you were thinking about Spike, huh", Apple Bloom asked. Sweetie Belle blushed, "n-no i wasn't", she said in denial. "Yes you were", Apple Bloom and Scootaloo said in union giggling. Sweetie Belle sighed, "fine..i was", she said, with a small smile. "But can you blame me, he's so sweet and kind..he even said we were beautiful", she said causing herself and her friends to blush. "He said that", Scootaloo asked trying to control the blush on her face. Sweetie Belle nodded, "i aint gonna lie girls..but i think i like Spike". Scootaloo looked away, "yeah..i think i like Spike too". Apple Bloom stared at them, "so..you girls have a crush on Spike too, huh", she asked. They nodded as Sweetie Belle asked, "but..is it wrong for us to like the same colt?" Scootaloo shrugged, "i don't know, but there are more fillies and mares in Equestria then colts and stallions". "Well..we should talk to our sister's about it", Apple Bloom said, as they nodded and got up to leave. With Spike learning how to teleport, "come on Spike, you can do it", Starlight encouraged him. Spike had his eyes closed, struggling as his horn glowed, then he disappeared in a flash. He appeared in his room, he opened his eyes and smiled, "I did it, I teleported", he said jumping in the air and hovering. He landed and ran down the long hallway, "I did it Starlight, I teleported", he said hugging her. Starlight hugged him with a smile, "you see..told you, you can do it". Spike look up at her, "and you were not wrong", he said with a big smile. Twilight walked in on them hugging, "hey Spike, Shining Armor and Cadence are...whats going on here", she asked. "Hey Twi, Starlight taught me some spells watch", his horn glowed and he teleported behind her, then he started to teleport all over the place. Twilight saw this and panicked, "Spike..slow down..your gonna hurt yourself", she tried to stop him, but Starlight caught him in her magic and levitated him to the ground. "Spike, take it slow next time..ok", Starlight told him with a chuckle. "Ok Starlight", he hugged her, "and thanks, your the best", he let go as a knock was heard. Twilight saw them hugged and felt a little pinge in her heart, but she answered the door, when she did there stood Shining Armor and Cadence with Flurry Heart. She put the feeling in her heart aside and greeted, "Shining Armor, Cadence you made it", she said hugging them. "Hey there Twiley, hows my sister, now..where Spike?" he said walking inside and looking around. Twilight frowned and pointed a hoof to behind her to where Starlight and Spike were talking about him learning more spells. Spike saw Shining Armor and his eyes widen, he got visions of Shining Armor protection him from ponies, whenever they tried hurting him, and him spending time with Shining Armor. "Shining Armor", he cried as he ran to him, hugging him with tears, happy to see his big brother again, Shining Armor hugged him back, tears in the corners of his eyes. Shining was happy that his lil bro was alive and ok. Spike looked up and dried his eyes, "liquid pride Shining". Shining smiled, "liquid pride". Cadence saw the look on Twilights face. "Twilight, are you ok", she asked. Twilight shook her head and answered, "yeah...i'm ok", she said looking at Starlight. Cadence stared at her, then at Starlight, "somethings going on...i'll talk to Twilight about it later". Shining levitated Flurry Heart to Spike, "Spike...this is your cousin/neice Flurry Heart", he said as Spike sat down and held her in his arms. Flurry Heart looked up at Spike giggling, "hey there, I'm Spike..you cousin/uncle", he said looking down at her, he laughed when Flurry Heart grabbed his muzzle. Shining Armor took Flurry back, "hey Spike..i heard that you took three fillies on a date..was it true", he asked with a grin. Spike blushed, "it wasn't a date Shining..we just hung out", he said looking away, then he looked confused, "wait..how you know about..", he looked at Cadence giggling, "you told him huh", Spike asked. "I'm the Princess of love Spike, you should know i can sence when someone is in love..and those fillies are in love with you", she said. Spikes eyes widen, "wait..the crusaders are in love with me", he said, blushing. Twilight giggled and told him, "of course they are Spike, why else would they kiss you". Shining picked him up in a noogy, "thats my little bro..getting the fillies". Spike got out of his grip, "so, they have a crush on me..but is it wrong to like three fillies back". Shining Armor levitated Flurry Heart to Cadence, "if you girls don't mind, me and Spike like to have a talk, brother to brother", he said looking at them. They nodded and walked away to another room, "listen Spike, that's ok, mares and fillies out number colts and stallions, just don't do anything adults do". Spike looked confused, "like what", he asked. Shining scratched the back of his head, looking away, "I'll tell you, when your older". Spike looked down, "oh..so it's ok to have three fillyfriends", he asked. Shining nodded, "just ask them out, but not all three at the same time", he said patting Spikes back. "So, take them on separate dates", Spike asked. Shining nodded again, then he decided to ask, "what did you and the Crusaders do, when you hung out with them one by one?" Spike smiled, "oh, me and AB went for a milkshake at Sugercube Corner, me and Scootaloo learned how to fly, and went flying together and we slepted on a cloud", he said with a smile, remembering his time with the girls. "Wait, wait, wait..you slepted on a cloud with your friend", Shining asked, wondering if he was old enough for that. Spike nodded, "yeah, we were tired and exhausted..so we fell asleep on a cloud". Shining panicked, "i don't think you old enough for that..don't tell Twilight". "Don't tell Twilight what..that me and Scootaloo were tired and exhausted from learning how to fly", he asked confused. Now it was Shining to be confused, "wait..i thought..oh, you were just exhausted from teaching yourselfs how to fly", he said sighing in relief. Spike was confused, but shrugged it off and continued, "Me and Sweetie Belle went for a walk, and watched the sunset on a hill", then he frowned, "but this one filly Diamond Tiara..she wont take no for an answer", he said glaring at the ground. "Yeah..your have those kind of girls chasing you", Shining said rubbing the back of his head, remembering some mares when he was younger wouldn't back off when he was seeing Cadence. Spike looked up, "Shining..have you ever had fillies chasing you before", he asked his big bro. "Is Cadence behind me?" Spike shook his head no, "then yes, when i was younger before i met Cadence..i was popular with the girls..it was nice too, they were asking me to hang out and stuff", he said with a proud smile. Spike looked down, "it was nice hanging out with them", then a smile grew on his face, "it was also nice when they kissed my cheek..it felt right for some reason". Shining chuckled, "thats because you like them back". "It did feel right..so i guess i do like them back", he said with a smile. Spike hugged him, "thanks big brother", he said with a smile. Shining hugged back, "anytime lil bro", he had a smile of his own. Spike let go and walked away, "well..im going to head out see if there around..bye Shining, bye Cadence", he said before leaving. Shining Armor paled and turned to face his wife, she was glaring at him, "Cadence..how long you been standing there", he asked sweating bullets. Her glare, turned into a proud smile, "you are a wonderful brother for giving Spike that kind of advice", she said kissing him. Shining sighed in relief, "i know i am", he said with a smile. Cadence walked away, "oh..and by the way..your sleeping on the couch tonight". Shining jaw dropped, "well played lil bro", he gave a small smile, knowing Spike trolled him.
