[You Are My Equestria Girls ]

Ah-oh-oh(2x)
You are my Equestria Girls!

I met you when the light switched on,
It brightens up my day, like the sun,
And my friends come out running.

You were right, all along,
Got together, we’re always better!

We can turn this sketch into a masterpiece!
When you’re here, I feel like I’m complete!

You are my Equestria Girls!

End of Song

Spike’s eyes burst open, as he wakes up from his dream. Looking around, he was disappointed that it was still night time.

Even more disappointed that he was by himself, without the girls.

“Aw man!” He groaned, flopping back down in bed.


The next morning, Spike arrived to school with the Bearers of Harmony, before they went their separate ways. On the way to his first class, he was greeted by Sunset Shimmer.

"Konnichi wa, Spike," Sunset greeted.

"Konnichi wa, Sunset," Spike returned the greeting, before he took notice of the former bad girl's new threads.

Sunset stood before him, wearing a sparkling bluish-green shirt, with a translucent yellow skirt at the bottom, teal pants, a new leather jacket over, and an orange pendant with her cutie mark of the blazing sun decorated. Spike couldn't help but find himself entranced.

"Whoa, nice threads, Sunset," Spike commented.

"Thanks," Sunset blushed, rubbing her arm shyly. "Rarity helped me with it."

"For a special occasion, or something?" Spike asked, while hoping he's not getting too personal.

"Oh, nothing in particular," Sunset grinned shyly. "Well, actually, I am going to show some new students around Celestial High School, and thought I should at least look good doing it."

"Well if it makes you feel better, I know you'll do a splendid job," Spike complimented.

"Aw, thanks Spike," Sunset blushed as they walked to their first class together.


Later, during lunch period, Sunset and Spike were enjoying their meals, with the Knights. Rumble has a special announcement to make.

"Principal Raven Inkwell has approved my idea for the Fighting Wondercolts Club!" Rumble announced excitedly.

"Did she now?" Spike asked.

"What exactly is the Fighting Wondercolts Club?" Sunset asked.

"It's just a place where we can all get together," Rumble began. "A place where we practice sparring against each other, learn a few tricks from one another, learn the history of martial arts, their use for self-defense, the moral of it, that kind of stuff."

"Sounds like my kind of club," Spike smiled.

"That's what we like to hear from you, Spike," Rumble said. "Because we were wondering if you could come over later this afternoon, to give the participants there a live demonstration at what a martial artist like you can do!"

Spike scratched his chin, pondering at Rumble's suggestion, "I don't know," Spike replied.

"Aw c'mon, Spike," Button pleaded. "All you gotta do is do more of those awesome Shaolin forms, some karate chops, falcon punches, and shout your 'Hi-Yahs!' That kind of stuff."

"I think you'll give a great demonstration," Sunset insisted, supportingly. "Besides, everybody would all love to see a live demonstration of martial arts from the Dragon Prince," She said, giving a smirk and a teasing nudge at the last part.

Spike chuckled, while rubbing the spot where Sunset nudged him, "C'mon, Spike," Rumble asked again. "It'll be a blast!"

Rolling his eyes, knowing his athlete friend will never let him live it down, Spike answered, "Alright, I'll give it a shot."

"Sunset Shimmer!" Principal Inkwell announced. "Please report to the main foyer!"

"Gotta go!" Sunset said. "I volunteered to show some new students around."

"Okay, see ya," Spike and the Knights waved as the fiery girl left.

Meanwhile, Snips and Snails secretly heard the conversation, and decided to stalk Sunset for the moment.


Main Foyer

A few new students were standing in the designated area, waiting for their guide to come.

At last, Sunset Shimmer arrived, as she walked over with a smile, "Hi! Are you three the new students I'm showing around?" They are a boy and two girls. Two of whom are siblings.

"But of course," A familiar snooty boy answered, with a flick of his hair. "Your school appears to be in need of a new student of the highest quality to bring out the beauty of it. Presenting me, Prince Vladimir Blueblood."

In human form, Prince Blueblood looks vaguely similar to how he appeared as a pony, with the obvious exception that he now appeared human, and simple wore a seemingly expensive white tuxedo, with a rose in a single pocket, on the left of his chest.

Sunset looked at the boy, shooting him a deadpan look, "Uh huh," Turning her attention to the other two, she asked, "And you are?"

"I'm Moonlight Raven," A goth girl introduced herself, flatly. In appearance, Moonlight Raven has brilliant amber eyes, with grayish persian blue eyeshadows, framed by a long dark blue hair that was don up with neat curls on all ends, and matching lipsticks. Her main attires is a black jacket, over a sparkling black shirt, with matching knee socks, and boots.

Standing next to Moonlight is her her complete opposite, "And I'm Sunshine Smiles!" The bright girl introduced herself excitably, as she grasped Sunset's hand, and vigorously shakes it. "It's such a pleasure to meet you!"

In appearance, Sunshine Smiles has moderate lime green eyes that appeared brightly lit, a long ruffled light brilliant yellow hair with paler yellows in her hair. For attires, she was wearing a hot pink shirt, with lone sleeves, with the front colored white, and displaying an image of an exploding star, a mini-skirt with a gradient of sky blue and grassy green from the top to the bottom, respectively, and white sparkling go-go boots. The only accessory she has is a single flower hair pin, in her hair.

Snips and Snails were poking from behind a column, when their eyes nearly flew out of their sockets, at the sight of the two new girls.

"It's our lucky day, Snails!" Snips smiled. "Not just one new girl!"

"But two new girls!" Snails finished, before both boys quickly ran up to the new students, presenting themselves beside Sunset.

"Snips? Snails?" Sunset asked in bewilderment.

“Do you need some guides?!” Snips and Snails asked eagerly. “Because we’d totally-“

"Volunteering alongside Ms. Shimmer?" An all too familiar voice spoke, causing the boys to wince as they turned their heads to see Professor Flintheart, standing over them. "I trust you two troublemakers won't be giving my nieces too much griefs on their first day?"

"Oh as a matter of fact, we're-" Snips stopped mid sentence, as he and Snails looked at the two girls with Sunset, and back again at Flintheart. "D-D-D-Did you say nieces?!"

"That's us!" Sunshine smiled, before she waved at the strict professor, "Hi Uncle Flinty!"

Professor Flintheart simply cleared his throat, "Don't call me, Flinty!" He muttered.

"Hello Uncle Flintheart," Moonlight greeted, flatly.

Blueblood looked up at the strict professor, "Oh my, I think I see where Moonlight Raven gets her....exotic taste of fashion."

"I'd watch my tongue, if I were you, Mr. Blueblood," Flintheart said sternly. "Your aunt has warned us a lot about you. You may behave like a prince in this school, but that does not make us all your subject."

Blueblood rolled his eyes, dismissing the man's words, "Humph. I say, this school is absolutely no place for someone as respectable as I."

"Even as respectable as Princess Twilight and Spike the Dragon Prince?" Sunshine asked in excitement.

"Whoa, whoa, what?!" Snips and Snails shouted, while Sunset winced, hoping it doesn't attract some unwanted attentions. She tensed, as if feeling some students around them giving strange looks in their ways, because of the titles.

Blueblood looked irked at the mention of his least favorite adopted cousin.

"Twilight Sparkle and Spike Draco?" Professor Flintheart asked. "Our celebrities? Who cares?" He said dismissively at the last part, before he turned to Blueblood and his nieces. "Now while the day is still young, Ms. Shimmer and these two imbecilic bunglers shall show you around." As fast as lightning, Professor Flintheart makes a quick grab for both Snips and Snails, lifting the two boys up to this face, "I'm warning you boys now. Any words from my nieces, and your families will be hearing from me."

Snips and Snails both gulped in fear, "Y'know, on second thought," Snips began, frightful. "If it makes you feel better, professor. We'll just um-"

"Be leaving!" Snails added. "Yeah, we'll just leave your nieces with Sunset!"

Still giving the boys a disapproving scowl, Flintheart released the boys, before he pointed them away, "Get out!!" He ordered, to which the two boys frightfully complied.

“That was close!” Snails panted.

“Too close for comfort!” Snips hyperventilated. “We were that close to being related to Professor Flintheart!”

“Oh, such cruel irony!” Snails moaned. “How could two hot, beautiful, sexy chicks be related to someone so evil, cold, and cruel?!”

“Can you imagine what our life would be like, if we ever hook up with Professor Flintheart’s neices?!” Snips asked. "Our lives would never be the same again!"

"I know!" Snails moaned. "We won't ever get to do anything fun with Professor Flintheart constantly watching us, behind our backs!"

"We'll never get to have the weekends all to ourselves!" Snips frowned. "We'll never get to ogle chicks the same way again!"

"We can't even keep those magazines we've been hiding under our bed if that evil wizard of a professor moves in with us!" Snails added.

"Or even worse," Snips moaned. "We'd have our own TV show, starring us, and Professor Snape!"


Snips n Snails n Snape!

Harry Potter boggart fans alert!


“AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!” The two boys wailed in horror.

"I don't think I'll ever fall in love again," Snails groaned.

"This will haunt me for the rest of my life!" Snips moaned. "Or yours, if I don't live long enough."

Shaking out of their funk, Snails turned to Snips, “Let’s make an unbreakable vow!” Snails began. “That until the day we die, we find the perfect girls for both of us! And they have to be sexy too! And they’ll having loving parents, like the Plastic's mom from Mean Girl!”

“And definitely not related to that guy!” Snips added, pointing to Professor Flintheart.

"Unbreakable vow?!" Snails asked.

"Unbreakable vow!" Snips agreed, as he and Snails both shook on it.


Meanwhile

"I'm sorry you have to see the way our uncle behaved back there," Moonlight apologized, flatly. "Sometimes, he's just too much."

“Oh, Uncle Flinty’s not such a bad guy!” Sunshine chirped. “He’s actually a lot of fun when you get to know him!”

"Forgive me," Sunset replied. "But I find that very hard to believe."

Blueblood simply huffed, "Humph! As long as I get some due respects, I simply couldn't care less."

Soon, the four were all walking around the school, getting to know certain rooms.

"That's the science lab," Sunset Shimmer pointed to one of the room, before she pointed to another. "Computer lab is in there."

Just then, Spike came passing by, with the Knights, carrying stacks of flyers. The two girls stopped in their tracks as they glanced at the familiar green-hair.

"Omigosh!" Sunshine exclaimed. "Is that him?!"

Sunset turned, looking in the sunny girl's direction, "Who? Bulk Biceps?" She asked, pointing to the buff athlete.

"No! Not him!" Sunshine replied, before she clarifies, "Him! Is that Prince Spike?!"

Blueblood, once more, snapped out of his snooty mood, at the mention of his hated cousin's name, "What? Spike?!" He hissed in disgust.

"Oh yeah, that's him," Sunset answered. "Though, here he's-" Too late. Sunshine Smiles was already gone, leaving a regretful Sunset behind, with Moonlight Raven, and an irked Blueblood. "Wait! Sunshine! Wait!"

"Prince Spike! Prince Spike!" The girl called out, which didn't go unheard for Spike, and most of the students present.

"What?!" Spike asked, looking back, and was greeted at the sudden appearance of a brightly, happy girl, who pounced, "BWAH!!!" Spike screamed, as he was tackled to the floor, in a death gripping hug.

"Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh, omigosh, Prince Spike!" Sunshine smiled, hugging Spike close. "I'm so happy to finally meet you! You're even cuter than all the other girls say you are!!"

Remembering an escape technique Scorpan once taught him, Spike manages slip free from Sunshine's excited grip, before he got up and dusted himself. Sunshine was about to go for another lunge, had Sunset not stopped her.

"Sorry, Spike," Sunset smiled on the girl's behalf. "This is Sunshine Smiles. She's one of the new students I'm showing around."

"Oh, pleased to meet you Sunshine," Spike greeted, extending his hand out for a handshake.

With an excited squeal, Sunshine grabbed Spike by the hand, shakes it, while letting out a high pitch fan-girl squeal.

"As you can see," Sunset winced, as she and everyone else all covered their ears. "She's very excited to meet you."

"So I noticed," Spike replied, while covering his ears. 'Curse me for having super hearing,' He thought.

"I'm also excited to meet you, Prince Spike," Moonlight spoke flatly, walking up to the boy. "I'm Moonlight Raven. Pleasure to meet you."

Spike looked at Moonlight, then at her hand, before he shook it, "Nice to meet you too, Moonlight," He greeted. "But, I'm afraid you girls mistook me for another prince. I'm just Spike Draco." He said, trying to feign obliviousness.

Sunshine simply giggled, "Oh, Spike! You old charmer!"

"It is such a pleasure to meet you, your majesty," Moonlight added, with a smile smile, bowing her head.

"It's so amazing to meet you in person, your majesty!" Sunshine smiled.

Spike shook his head, "No, seriously, I'm-"

"And cut!" Featherweight quickly shouted, before he looked to all of the students present. "It's all part of a play, you see. We're just rehearsing for a show that we're going to put on you see. It's a work in progress."

Luckily, the other students all bought it, as they resumed their routine.

Before Sunshine or Moonlight could say anything else, Spike, Sunset, and the Knights quickly brought them over to the side, with Blueblood following.

Spike quickly shushed the girls, "If you please, around here, it's just Spike Draco," He explained. "I'm kinda trying to keep a low-profile in this world."

"Too bad, since you're practically a celebrity here, since day one," Button noted.

"Not helping, Button," Spike hissed.

"Humph! Finding it hard to embrace your title as prince, are you cousin?" Blueblood huffed. "Pathetic."

"Well I see you haven't changed a bit," Spike said, giving Blueblood a deadpan expression.

"And what do I need to change for?" Blueblood asked, still holding his head high. "You can't change perfections, you know."

"I agree," Sunshine giggled. "You're perfect for comic relief!"

"Why thank you, miss," Blueblood grinned smugly, before he did a double take. "Wait, what?"

Ignoring his cousin, Spike gently brushed the two girls off, "Anyway, lovely to meet you ladies," He said, while shaking their hands. "But me and the guys, we need to get going, and put up some flyers for our new club."

"A club?!" Sunshine Smiles asked. "What kind of club?"

"The Fighting Wondercolts Club!" Rumble answered, as he brought out one of the flyers he and the guys were about to put up.

"Fighting Wondercolts?" Blueblood asked, raising an eyebrow, when the school bell rang.

"Oh! That's our bell!" Spike said, as he and the Knights simply handed the flyers to the new students. "Anyway, if you're interested, just meet us in the gym, after school! Bye!" With that, Spike and his boys took off to their next class, leaving Sunset and the new students alone.

Blueblood looked down at the flyer, before he cringed in disgust, "Like I would be willing to get my hands dirty, humph!" He snorted.

Sunshine Smiles and Moonlight Raven, however, looked at the flyer, with growing interests.


Later that afternoon

After the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school, many of the students all flooded for the exit, eager to get home for some plans they had for the evening. Meanwhile, most of the other students all stayed behind to participate in some clubs.

Spike, of course, is among those students, as he walked down to the gym, with his posse.

[Fatboy Slim - Kung Fu Fighting Dance(Remix)]

Upon arrival, they found more than they bargained, "Holy guacamole!!" Spike and the Knights exclaimed, to see almost half of the school’s students were there, eager to begin the club.

"Wow, I guess everybody's kung-fu fighting, huh?" Button asked.

"No kidding," Tender replied.

"Hey Spike," A few school girls greeted, as they passed the boy.

Another girl turned her head, and waved to Spike, "Hey cutie," She winked, flirtatiously.

Pretty soon, the boys realized the number of the audience consisted mostly of girls. And they've practically outnumbered the boys.

"That, or they just wanted to come, because their 'Prince Charming' would be here," Rumble said in sarcasm.

"Eeyup," Spike said flatly, before both he and the Knights made their way to the center of the gym.

On the way, they happened upon the Elements' Bearers, "Hi-ya, Spike!" Pinkie greeted.

"Oh, hey Pinkie!" Spike greeted, before he was suddenly bombarded with several greetings from more of the school girls.

Finally, the boys made it to the center, where Rumble stood up on a podium, and spoke in a microphone, "Welcome, everyone, to the first ever meeting of the newly established Fighting Wondercolts Club!" Rumble spoke, earning a whole round of applause from the students participating. "First of all, I'm sure you're aware, no doubt to what this club is all about. It's a place where we practice sparring together, to learn the martial arts, which we will use to protect ourselves! Given to the crime rates this city has been enduring."

"They're not kidding!" Pinkie spoke up. "One time, they almost got kidnapped by the Diamond Dog Gang!" Everyone all gasped in fright, at the revelation.

"Goodness! How did you guys escaped?!" A girl named Sweet Biscuit asked.

"Well, we would've been goners," Button replied. "If it hadn't been for a pound of secret weapon, packed with Kung-Fu, butt kicking action, we liked to call, Spike the Dragon!"

The students all gasped, as they looked at Spike, who was feeling uncomfortable from the looks he was receiving.

"Whoa! Is that true?!" A Junior Athlete asked.

Spike scratched the back of his head, "Well, I don't like to brag, or-"

"Oh yeah! He beat them alright!" Rainbow exclaimed. "We were there, when it happened!"

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight whispered, harshly.

"What? I'm just being honest," Rainbow replied.

"That's my department, Sugarcube," Applejack grumbled.

"How'd you do it?" Another student asked Spike.

"Exactly what we're going to teach you guys and gals here," Spike replied. "This is what we're all here for. To train ourselves, in case we ever needed to defend ourselves, from gangsters, crooks, or any violent criminals. So that when they try to attack us, then we will strike back!"

"YEAH!!!" Bulk Bicep hollered.

"So, what's the first lesson?" An athlete asked, excitedly.

Before the boys could speak up, a loud whistle was heard, and Iron Will came stomping out of the room, "To the fields! On the double! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!"

With that, the students all complied, as they did what the coach instructed them to do.

"Coach Iron Will?" Spike asked. "What's he doing here?"

"Apparently, Principal Raven Inkwell's okay with the club, as long as Coach Iron Will was supervising it," Rumble sighed.

"Oh no, say it ain't so," Spike muttered.


The students were later changed into their sports uniforms, as they stood out in a field, full of sports equipments, and some obstacle courses.

"Now attention cadets!" Iron Will began. "In order for you to learn the martial arts, you must make your body like art!"

"Make our body like art?" A thin nerdy boy with glasses, named Gizmo, stuttered.

"That's right, cadet!" Iron Will bellowed, as he grabbed Gizmo by the arm, and held it out. "Look at yourself! You've got skinny little twigs for arms! Why, if you try blocking a brick, YOU'LL SNAP LIKE A TWIG!!" Gizmo couldn't help but look down in shame.

"So here's the plan!" Iron Will hollered. "We'll split up into groups! Group A - You're the inexperienced, and the weak. You'll be doing push-ups, pull-ups, stretches, weightlifting, bodybuilding and runs around the school ground. Group B - You're the athletes of Iron Will's eyes. You'll be working on your strikes and blocks. Sparring is recommended. Group C - You'll be making sure Group A follows Iron Will's orders, and no slacking! Any questions?" Snips and Snails both raised their hands, "Good! NOW MOVE OUT!!"

With that, everyone all split up in the groups Iron Will had assigned them in. Snips and Snails, of course, were in Group A. Though they faced some struggles, they do find some enjoyments.

"Whoa, Snips!" Snails spoke, as he was doing push-ups, and pointed to some girls doing stretches nearby. "Check them chicks out!"

Snips looked, and his expression was the same as Snail's as he couldn't help but pant at the sight of the girls' behinds, as they did some straddle stretches, together with some other aerobic exercises that showed off their well-endowed bods.

"Oh yeah," Snips moaned, enjoying the show.

"HEY!!" Iron Will shouted, snapping the two jokers out of their trance. "Keep that up, and you'll be doing fifty laps around the school!"

With that, Snips and Snails quickly went back to their exercises.

Zephyr Breeze soon came up, jogging his legs up, next to the boys, "Come on, Rainbow! Look at me!" Zephyr called. "I'm jogging for ya! Rainbow!"

Rainbow Dash simply ignored Zephyr, as she was in the middle of a spar, with Spike. Needless to say, Zephyr was slightly appalled.

[Fighting Is Magic - Rainbow Dash Stage Theme]

Both Spike and Rainbow Dash were don up in special paddings for protections on the head, chest, arms, legs, and waist, as they both stood a distance from each other, in a fighting stance.

"Okay, Spike," Rainbow smirked confidently. "Time for a little re-match from that dodgeball game!"

"Bring it on, Dash," Spike challenged, waving his hand at the athletic girl.

Moving at the speed of sound, while shouting a kiai, Rainbow Dash threw a punch, which Spike was quick to block, deflecting it to the side, before he raised his arm up to block a high kick from Rainbow Dash, before he spins to the right to sweep the ground with his leg, only for Rainbow Dash to spin in the air, as she dodge the attack, then sweeps the floor with her legs, spinning in a counter-clockwise motion as if she was doing a flare breakdance move. Spike, however, evaded the attack, doing a backflip.

"You're faster than a speeding bullet," Spike complimented.

"I race with the wind, Spike," Rainbow replied. "As I will strike you down, like lighting strikes the same place twice. Hi-yah!"

Rainbow lunged forward, making multiple jabs at Spike, who quickly blocked them, with his hands in the shapes of scythes, "Fast, yes," He complimented, before he assumed the praying mantis stance. "Faster than a praying mantis?"

"Mantis, very good," Rainbow grinned. "For catching bugs. But not tigers!" With that, Rainbow shaped her hands into claws, as she did the tiger fighting stance, and performed several strikes of the said fighting style.

Most of the students all crowded around, watching the two fighters going at it.

"Look at them go," One student complimented.

"They're so evenly matched!"

"Get her, Spike!" Rumble cheered for his friend.

"TAKE HIM OUT, RAINBOW DASH!!" Pinkie cheered, while don up in a cheerleading uniform.

Within the crowd, Sunshine Smiles and Moonlight Raven watched the battle taking place.

"Oh, this is so exciting!" Sunshine grinned excitedly. "Isn't Prince Spike amazing?"

"He's amazing, alright," Moonlight replied flatly. "But not invincible."

"I honestly don't care," Another fellow classmate said in admiration. "I like a fighter who displays great skills and strength, when in battle. I like a good challenge from that fighter."

In appearance, the girl appeared to be roughly Asian, with long flaming hair blowing in the wind, giving her the appearance that her head is on fire, with piercing orange eyes to add the ferocity of her appearance, framed by lime green eyeshadows. The girl was currently wearing sports uniform, like her fellow club attendants, only her's has a jade-green flaming them, at the sleeves, and around her chest, which took the form of a longma - Chinese winged horse with dragon scales.

"Tianhuo," The girl introduced herself, with a bow to the girls. "Nǐ hǎo."

"Oh, pleasure to meet you!" Twilight returned the greeting, along with the bowing gesture.

Rainbow and Spike continued to spar, before Rainbow was able to land an impact on Spike's stomach, knocking him off his feet. Spike quickly caught himself, as he launched himself up in the air, doing a flip, and landed on his foot, with his hands held out.

Rainbow lunged after Spike, in a flying kick, "Flying crane kick!" Spike shouted, as he thrusted his other leg out in a kick, intercepting Rainbow's kick, causing her to flip in the air.

Without the need of her wings, Rainbow curled her body up in a flip, before she landed on her feet. Soon, Rumble's stopwatch beeped, signaling the end of the fight. Both Spike and Rainbow put their hands together, as they bowed to each other, in respect.

"Good fight, Rainbow Dash," Spike said.

"Same to you, Spike," Rainbow said, as she gave Spike a playful noogie. "Glad to see that fighting dragon side of you!"

"Spike! Spike!" Sunshine Smiles & Moonlight Raven called, as they ran up to Spike.

"You rocked!" Sunshine Smiles shouted. "You were amazing!"

"You rocked," Moonlight Raven said flatly. "Whoo-hoo."

"And what am I? Chopped liver?" Rainbow frowned.

"Don't worry, Rainbow Dash," Spike comforted. "You're still 20% cooler to me. Though, I hoped our little show back there taught you gals, something," He said to the two girls.

"Sure do!" Sunshine grinned. "That you're both fast fighters!"

"You two fight well," Moonlight said, while showing a small smile.

Spike shook his head, "Don't worry, Spike," Rainbow said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "It's still first day."

"Rainbow's right," Twilight spoke. "As the old same goes. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

"I know," Spike replied.

"Oh, you're not hurt too bad, are you?" Fluttershy asked, as she examined both Rainbow Dash and Spike, for bumps and bruises.

"Don't worry, Fluttershy. We're okay," Spike assured.

"Yeah, it's not like we're trying to kill each other, or anything," Rainbow smirked. "Not as long as we're wearing these," She referred to the paddings.

"Well, while yer still standing, it's my turn to have some more fun with ya, Sugarcube," Applejack smirked, as she looked at Spike in the eyes. "I'd like to give ya a good kick, or two, after that dodgeball cheek of yours."

"Huh?" Spike whimpered, a little bit frightened.


Meanwhile, watching from the distance, Blueblood was watching how Spike was getting along with his friends.

"Oh, that dragon of a cousin of mine!" Blueblood fumed in disgust. "Look at him, having his way with my fair lady, Rarity! He's corrupting her! He's manipulating her! He's turning her into something that's not lady-like! Oh, just you wait, Lady Rarity! For I, Prince Vladímir Blueblood, shall rescue you, form the clutches of that dragon!" With that, Blueblood lets out an evil cackle.

"Hey you!" A senior athlete shouted. "Don't just stand there! Get to jogging!"

"I beg your pardon, were you addressing me?" Blueblood asked, with a look of indignity.

"Do you see anyone else, mister?" The athlete asked rhetorically. "Now get back and jog in place, like everybody else!"

"Excuse me? Who gives you the gall to-"

"I SAID NOW!!"

Next thing Blueblood knew, he was being forced by Iron Will himself, to jog with some other athletes.

"Oh, the humility," Blueblood groaned.

Watching from a distance, Discord and Thorax were matching on some popcorns, with Discord looking through a binocular, "Sometimes, I feel so bad for that guy," Discord grinned.


After his sparring with Rainbow Dash, and a bit with Applejack, Spike stood before his group, while holding a rubber counterfeit of a killer's knife, as he gives his lecture.

"Now here's an important lesson for all of you," Spike began. "And if Uncle Scorpan was here, he would say that is absolutely essential for all of you to remember this. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir!" The attendants all shouted.

With that, Spike had Rumble come up before the students, as he hands the rubber knife, to Rumble, before he resumed, "At anytime, at anyplace, there's a maniac, waiting for his chance to strike," He lectured. "So it's important that we remain vigilant, for when that happens. So say that I'm just minding my own business, when Rumble here, comes out at me with a knife. What do I do?"

"Scream and yell for help?" Fluttershy asked.

"Duck and cover?" Pinkie asked.

"Both?" Another student asked.

"Nope!" Big Mac answered, having taken attendance of the club.

"We fight back!" Spike answered. "Observed!" With that, Rumble and Spike acted the whole scenario out, before the club.

Rumble, while holding the knife in a certain way, was advancing upon Spike, who held his hand up, as if to say, "I don't want to fight." When Rumble continues to advance towards Spike, the dragon boy lowers his hands at the level of the knife, before at the last second, he grabbed Rumble's hand holding the knife, with one arm to hold the knife away from him, before Spike thrusted his other hand, at the wrist, breaking it, before he proceeds to turn the wrist holding the knife away. With that, Spike locked Rumble's arm, as he takes a step back, and throws the athlete boy to the ground, while still holding onto the hand that was wielding the knife.

"And as you can see, he's got a tight grip on the knife," Spike pointed. "But he can't hold on. So I push the knife against his fingers, and away." Spike said, as he disarms Rumble of his weapon.

Soon, Spike and Rumble both repeated the scenario again, before they handed out some more rubber knives for the rest of their fellow classmates to practice each other with. Spike and his friends all watched, as some of the students were struggling on their first try to mastering the disarming technique. Though, one in particular seemed to have passed with flying colors, from the start.

Spike was impressed, "Not bad," He complimented the student. "Fellow Tae Kwon Do student?"

"No," Tianhuo shook her head. "I'm a student of Shaolin Gongfu, believe it or not."

"Well, seeing the way you getting the technique down and all, I'd believe you," Spike smirked.

"You're not so bad yourself, Spike," Tianhuo smiled. "After watching your duel with Rainbow Dash and Applejack, I can see you having the skill of a true martial artist. And I can certainly respect that."

"Wow, thanks," Spike blushed, before he looked back at the girl. "Hey, I don't think I quite got your name."

"Oh, how rude of me," Tianhuo blushed. "I'm Tianhuo. I came from Beijing, China, with my parents after my father got a job transferred here."

"Wow, in that case," Spike held his hands together, before he bowed in respect to Tianhuo. "Nǐ hǎo, Tianhuo."

Tianhuo couldn't help but smile, before she returned the gesture, "Nǐ hǎo, Spike."

Looking around, seeing the rest of their classmates continue with their sparring, and lessons in disarming knives, Spike turned back to Tianhuo, "Well, it's been nice meeting you, Tian," Spike began. "Um, is it okay if I call you, Tian? Y'know, as a sign of friendship, and affection. I mean, it's okay if you don't-"

"I'm okay with it," Tianhuo smiled. "In fact, I'm flattered," Blushing to the side, Tianhuo spoke, "Do you mind if I call you, Shenlong? You looked like a Shenlong."

"Hmmm," Spike thought. 'The spiritual imperial dragon of Chinese mythology, and the bringer of storm and rain,' Spike nodded his head, "I like that," Spike soon took his leave, "Well, again. It's nice knowing you, Tian. But I gotta go. Hey! Maybe we can spar with each other, some times later."

"I'll be waiting, Shenlong," Tianhuo smiled.
