Time Stops For No Dragon
Chapter 3-Encounter Of The Rainbow Kind

The pony that the voice belonged to landed in front of Spike. Her multi-colored mane whipped into her face with the wind created from her abrupt touchdown, causing the pegasus to blow her bangs out of her eyes. It was Rainbow Dash in her Wonderbolt uniform, her flying goggles placed on her head.

Spike managed a small smile, despite not really being happy. "Hey, Rainbow." His voice still lacked the emotion it used to have, and the pegasus instantly knew that something was wrong.

"So, Spike, how are things between you and Flutters'?" Rainbow asked, trying to start a conversation.

Spike didn't respond, shifting his gaze to the ground.

"What did you DO?! I swear, if you hurt her…" The pegasus grabbed the dragon, placing him onto her back, and taking off into the sky. "Tell me what you did, or I'll drop you to your death. I might do it anyway, if I don't like your answer."

They were flying high above Canterlot now, and Spike would be a pancake on the streets below, if he didn't do something.

"Fine, Rainbow. I'll tell you! Fluttershy broke up with me, and kicked me out of her house. It wasn't my fault. I swear that I would never hurt her, and if anything, she hurt ME!" Spike explained, frantically.

"You MIGHT be telling the truth, but she wouldn't break up with you for no reason. You must have done something to make her upset. I could tell she loved you, from the way she always talked about you."

Spike was trying hard to hold back, but it was a futile effort, as a few tears ran down his face. "Please, Rainbow, you have to believe me! It's already bad enough that this happened, and I don't need you making it worse!"

Rainbow sighed. "I'm sorry, Spike. I've been stressed out, with all of the shows we've been performing. I wanted some action, and I jumped at the chance to take out my frustration. I wasn't really going to kill you, just so you know." She landed, and allowed him to get off of her back. "Listen Spike, I'll see you around. I hope you can figure things out with Fluttershy. She needs someone to protect her, to make her happy, and if you're the pony…er, dragon that can do that, then, so be it. I'm on break, but I'd better get back."

Rainbow Dash began to fly away, but Spike called out to her, causing the pegasus to stop. "Hey, Rainbow! Would you happen to know where the school Twilight teaches at is?"

"Sure, Spike, it's over there." She pointed to a big building, next to a shop that Spike knew well from his time living in Canterlot.

It had a big donut sign outside of it, pink with sprinkles. It was 'Donut Joe's' bakery, and Spike was glad to see it, since he was getting hungry. The dragon only just now, realized that his bunny slippers were no longer on his feet.

"They must have fallen off, when I took an unexpected flight with Rainbow Dash. Oh, well." 

Then, he reached the bakery, looking at the open sign in the window. "I guess, it wouldn't hurt to stop by to get a few donuts. It's not often that I get to take a trip to Canterlot, so I might as well visit, since I'm already here."

The dragon's mouth was already watering, at the thought of donuts with extra sprinkles.
