The next day, Spike slowly woke up with a small smile, he stretched and got out of bed and got ready for School, he came home late last night, his parents and Twilight were worried about him when it got dark, and were relieved that he got home safe.
After he got changed, he walked outside his room and bumped into his mom, the memory still fresh from what he said to her, he was starting to regret what he said.
He hugged her, "mom..i'm sorry for getting mad at you", he said with a frown.
She hugged him back, "no Spike, I'm sorry..it's just hard seeing you grow up, you were my little boy..and now your a young man, i just wish you can always be my little boy", she said closing her eyes.
Spike broke the hug and looked at her, "mom, i'm a man now", he said puffing his chest out.
She giggled, "your right, your not my little boy..your my little man now", she said kissing his head.
"Mom", he wined embarrassed.
She giggled again as she hugged him, "i love you Spike, and i'm sorry for comparing Apple Bloom to the other girl Diamond Tiara".
Spike hugged her back, "i forgive you mom, and i love you too", he said with a smile.
She broke the hug, "now go eat, so you can go to School".
He went downstairs with a smile and ate, afterwards he heard the door bell ring, he answered it and saw his friends, "hey Spike, you ready", Apple Bloom asked with a smile.
Spike grabbed his back pack, and kissed Apple Bloom walking out, as they all walked to School.
It was lunch time and Twilight and her friends were talking, "Twilight darling, there's something different about you today", Rarity asked with wonder
Twilight blushed, "there's nothing different about me", she said eating.
Rainbow Dash grinned, "she got that, i just got laid face".
She blushed, as the girls turned to her, "saw your opportunity, when Spike went camping huh", Pinkie asked with a grin.
Twilight glared, "what about you guys, I'm pretty sure Rainbow Dash and Rarity saw their opportunity when Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle wasn't home", she said with a blush.
Rainbow Dash grinned, "yeah, i had my fun with Soarin".
Applejack turned to her with a grin, "so he finally made a woman out of ya huh", she said as Rainbow Dash glared at her.
"Oh yeah, what about you, have you and Caramel got laid", she said with a smirk.
Applejack blushed as she sucked her lip in and looked from side to side, Rainbow Dash saw her friends lying face and grinned, "so he got to ride the cow girl huh".
Applejack face was red as an apple as she glared at the athletic girl.
"Judging that he is still alive, it was at his place", she said with smirk.
She turned to Rarity, "Rarity, have you and Thunderlane.."
Rarity blushed, "Rainbow Dash, a lady does not talk about intimate things like that", she said with a glare.
Rainbow took it as a yes, "then there only two" she said looking at a confused Pinkie and a blushing red Fluttershy, hiding behind her hair.
"Pinkie..have you and Cheese Sandwich..", she said as the girls looked at her.
Pinkie shrugged with a grin, "does being in a shower count then the bed".
Now all the girls turned to a red face hiding behind her hair Fluttershy, "oh..umm..m-me a-and C-Comper Mane", she squeaked.
With Spike and his friends, they noticed Button was staring at a peace of paper that he brought from camp, "you still have that", Spike asked looking at it.
Button turned to him, "this thing been bugging me all yesterday and all day, i can't tell how if he is real or not", he looking at the peace of paper.
Rumble couldn't take it no more and burst out laughing, "d-dude, i-it was m-me all t-the time", he said trying to catch his breath.
They glared at him, "what the hell do you mean", Button asked glaring at him, then the paper, "what the hell dude, not cool", he turned to Sweetie Belle and saw she was gritting her teeth at Rumble.
Button smirked as Sweetie Belle turned to Scootaloo, "Scootaloo, is it ok if i..", she said glaring at Rumble.
Scootaloo shrugged, "you can Sweetie, he deserves it", she said giving her boyfriend a glare.
After the bell rang, Spike and the girls were walking to class, "i didn't know you can kick that hard Sweetie Belle", Spike asked cringing at the memory of Sweetie Belle kicking Rumble between his legs.
"Hey losers and Spike", they turned around with a groan to face Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
"Diamond, Silver, this is getting old, what the hell you want this time", Scootaloo asked annoyed.
"Nothing, i heard that you girls and your boyfriends had a little fun two nights ago when you went camping", she said with a smirk.
Spike shrugged, "and..whats your point", he asked with a glare.
Diamond smirked, "hmm..does it make you three girls something that rhymes with muts".
Spike stepped forward, "shut up Diamond, don't even go there with them", he said with a glare.
He turned and walked away with the girls, but stopped when he heard, "if you would have taken me and Silver Spoon with you, we would have showed you a real good time, right Silvey", she said looking at her blushing friend.
Spike turned around, "why the hell your doing this Diamond, why can you just accept the fact that i'm never taking you back", he said glaring at her.
Apple Bloom was really holding herself back from fighting Diamond Tiara.
Diamond frowned, "fine, you wanna know the real reason", Spike nodded, "i want you back Spike, i don't like seeing a hot sexy boy like you, with someone like that orphan farmer, if you take me back Spike, me and Silver Spoon will make a real man out of you", she said giving him bedroom eyes with a flirty smile, not caring if Apple Bloom sees.
Apple Bloom had enough and was gonna make her regret flirting with her man, but Spike stopped her with his arm.
He smirked at Diamond, "listen here, little rich bitch, you see this", he lift his shirt up, showing his abs and causing the girls that stood by and watched the commotion to blush red, they were looking at him with a smile.
Apple Bloom death glared the girls that stared at Spike, "wow", one girl said with dreamy eyes but pouted when he let go.
"you will never get to put your hands on this, only Apple Bloom can", he grabbed Apple Bloom surprising her, and dipped her and gave her a deep passionate kiss, causing her to melt into it.
He broke it and brought a dazed dreamy eyed giggling Apple Bloom up, "that will never happen between me and you", he told the rich girl with a smirk, then he grabbed Apple Blooms hand and turned around.
He stopped, "Oh and she is a much better kisser then you", he said walking away with the girls.
Diamond glared at them, then she smirked and walked away to her class.
After School ended for the day, the group walked out of the building, "so where do you wanna go", Button asked with a smile.
He noticed Apple Bloom was hugging Spikes arm with a smile as he had a smirk on his face, "someone explain what happened after lunch", he said looking at his friends.
Sweetie Belle giggled, "Spike reminded Diamond that he will never take her back, and only Apple Bloom can touch his shirtless body".
Little did they know was they were being followed by a group of rebel 17 year olds, they were wearing green jackets with a dark green bug on the back.
"Remember what she said boys, don't kill him, just put him in the Hospital", the leader said.
"Wich one was it again", one of the rebels asked.
The leader saw Spike with Apple Bloom, "the one with the green hair, and if we make his girlfriend watch, then theres a extra Thousand for us", he grinned.
"What about his friends", the same one asked, looking at Rumble and Button.
He turned to him, "if they try to help him, hurt them too and make their girlfriends watch..remember dont kill him", he said smirking at Spike and his friends, then he pull his cell phone out and text his crew.
The group was walking, when they saw 5 boys around 17, but one looked like he was Spike's age, they got a bad vibe from them as the older teens ask, "are you Spike".
Spike and his friends got in front of their girlfriends, "who wants to know", Spike asked with a glare.
The older teen smirked as the rest of his crew grabbed Spike and his friends and dragged them to an nearby alleyway, "what the hell man, who are you guys", Spike asked as he and his friends tried to fight back from being held again the wall.
Spike saw the youngest one looking down as he stood by, he also noticed he had black spikey hair and no black jacket like the rest, Spike felt like he seen him at School somewhere.
"We are the Changeling Gang, and remember this is only business, not personal and don't worry, I'm not gonna killya, i'm just gonna hurt you really really bad", the leader said with a grin as he started punching Spike.
Apple Bloom watched helplessly as she was being held in place by two of the boys, "stop, leave him alone", she cried, watching her boyfriend get beat up in tears.
Spike had a black eye, bloody lip and bruises on his body, "what do you want from me", Spike ask in pain.
Rumble and Button tried to break free to help their buddy, only to get punched several times, they groaned in pain.
Sweetie Belle was begging them to let them go in tears, "please, don't hurt my boyfriend, just let them go", she said in tears.
Scootaloo tried to break free from the guy's grip, she kick one of them in the junk, only to piss him off and get pushed against the wall.
Rumble saw that and snapped, "no one puts their hands on my girl like that", he said through grit teeth and elbow one of the guys holding him, soon he broke free and help his friends, then it became a full fight with the seven boys.
Spike was fighting with the leader, but was grabbed from behind, then his eyes widen when he saw the leader pull out a small pocket knife and stabbed him twice in the stomach.
He screamed in pain then they let him go as he fell holding him stomach, "SPIKE!" Apple Bloom cried when she saw him on the floor.
The Changeling Gang let them go, "mission accomplished, come on boys, lets go collect our cash", the leader said as he clean the blood off his knife and put it away, leaving a bleeding Spike on the floor.
Spike was laying on the ground in pain, holding his stomach, Apple Bloom ran up to him in tears, "Spike, please don't die on me..please", she said crying.
Spike was trying to stand up, but fell back down, "we got you Spike", Rumble said as him and Button carried him out of the alley.
Flash Sentry was driving home after dropping Twilight off, when he saw Spike and his friends stumbling out of an alley.
"Is that Spike, why is he..oh man", he said as he pulled over next to them and got out to help, his eyes widen when he saw the blood on Spikes stomach, he noticed Spike was becoming unconscious little by little.
"What the hell happened", he asked in shock, as he help carry Spike.
Rumble gritted his teeth, "these guys came out of nowhere and jumped us, i think the leader stabbed Spike twice with a pocket knife".
Flash put Spike in his car, "Apple Bloom, i'm gonna need your help to apply pressure to his wound to stop the bleeding", he said as Apple Blooms wriped her tears and climbed in the car to help her boyfriend.
He turned to the guys, "don't worry, I'll take him to the Hospital and call Twilight, you should go home and get yourselfs healed up", he said as he got in his car and drove to the Hospital.
The guys walked their girlfriends home as Button held a teary eyed Sweetie Belle.
With Flash Sentry driving Spike to the Hospital, Apple Bloom was applying pressure to Spikes wound, "A-Apple Bloom", Spike mumbled openings his eyes.
"It's ok Spike, i'm here", she said with tears in her eyes, holding his hand with her bloody hand as she continued to apply pressure.
Spike felt his eyes closing as he tried to stay conscious, "A-Apple Bloom, if i don't make it, remember that i love you", he mumbled.
Apple Bloom felt more tears in her eyes, "don't talk like that Spike, your gonna make it", she told him.
Spike eyes closed as he fell unconscious, "Spike..don't you dare", Apple Bloom cried as Flash saw he was unconscious.
"Shit", he muttered as he drove faster to the Hospital.
After a while, Flash made it to the Hospital in time as Hospital staff saw Spike out cold and rushed him to the E R, Flash pulled his phone out to call his girlfriend.
At the Sparkle residents, Twilight was reading when her phone rang, she saw it was Flash and answered it with a smile, "hey Flash..why are you at the Hospital..what..is he ok..ok, I'll let my parents know", she hunged up to look for her parents.
"Spike", Twilight mumbled fighting back tears and looking for her parents, scared for her little brother.
With the Changeling Gang, they were counting a woad of cash they collected, "come on boys, let's get out of here...Thorax", he glared at a 15 year old boy talking to Silver Spoon with a smile, after exchanging numbers.
"So uhh..i'll call you later", he said putting his cell phone away with a small blush.
Silver Spoon giggled, "yeah..maybe we can hang out sometime too", she said with a blush, adjusting her glasses with a hand behind her back.
"Thorax, quit flirting and get your ass over here", the leader called.
"Bye..Silver Spoon was it", he said walking backwards.
She nodded, as he turned and ran to catch up with his so called friends, Silver Spoon watched him run off with lidded eyes and a smile.
Diamond groaned, "that guy was a loser, you can do better Silvey", she said turning around and walking away out the alley.
Silver Spoon giggled, "i think he was cute, that black shirt with blue jeans and black spikey hair", she sighed dreamly
Then she turned around with her head down, "anyways Diamond, do you think you went too far for doing that to Spike", she said holding her arm and looking away.
Diamond turned to her with a glare, "no, i do not", she said walking out of the alley with a smirk, "told you, you were gonna regret putting your hands on me you talentless orphan".
