	Another three months passed since Spike's birthday when he and Rarity had dinner with the princesses. A total of five months since he had first kissed Rarity. A lot had happened in that time too. Spike had officially moved in with Rarity, the two of them had also begun considering making a move to Canterlot. There were definite advantages to the idea; one being that they could use the extra space as Spike began to grow. Second, it would provide growth for Carousel Boutique and Rarity's business, which would be a huge benefit. And thirdly, as they were now ambassadors between the pony and dragon race, it would be handy if they were within reach of the princesses should matters arise. 

Spike was walking down the streets of Ponyville as he thought of the things to come. His wings had finally come in, and they were a bit larger than he was expecting, most of the time he draped them about his shoulders like a cape, a much more fashionable style than merely folding them against his back (Rarity really had been rubbing off on him). He knew it was still a few years until the dragon chief would awaken to meet them, but that didn't stop Spike getting nervous every time he thought of it. His last encounter with this particular tribe wasn't terrible, at least, not when it started that is.

As he approached the door to the library, he noticed as a single flake of snow landed on his nose. He gave a smile, after all it was Hearth's Warming Day tomorrow. He gave a small rap at the door with his claw. Surely enough, Twilight swung it open to reveal herself. Spike gave a smile as he saw her standing there with her new glasses, all of her reading finally caught up to her, but she had no complaints. "Spike! Come on in." She took a few steps back, as the dragon had to crouch and bend his head down to get through the door anymore. "About time you dropped by again. It's been a whole week." She frowned.

Spike's shoulders sank and he scratched the back of his head. "I'm sorry Twilight. We've been really busy over at the boutique with the holidays and all. I'm only able to be here because we're closed until after tomorrow."

Twilight didn't break her glare until after another moment or so, and then she gave a smile. "Well I guess you're right about that. I can't really blame you." She walked over and gave her friend a hug. "I should be grateful that you were able to make it at all." She came back down on all fours and levitated a scroll to the two of them. "I've prepared a schedule for our get together with everypony tomorrow."

Spike reflected for a moment on how if he were still living here he'd have been the one to write that list. "How's it been around here since I've left?"

Twilight returned the scroll to where she found it and walked to the middle of the room. "Owlowicious has been helping out more since then, and I've taken to writing on my own more often. Though it's definitely more quiet." Spike heard a drop in her tone at that last point. 

The reptile, put a claw on her shoulder to comfort her. She gave him a smile again and gave a quick, deep breath. "You know, Rarity and I are thinking about moving to Canterlot... You could come with us too. You've done all that Celestia sent you here to do."

Twilight let out a little giggle. "Sure. But my work here isn't done. My home is here Spike. I'd have never thought so when I first came here." She smiled lightly. "I've made friends that I'd never have even met if the princess hadn't sent me here." Her smile became a little sly. "That includes Rarity."

Spike felt a spark go of in his head. She was right. If Celestia hadn't sent them to Ponyville, he would have never met Rarity. "I'll have to thank her for that."

"You know, in a way you can thank Nightmare Moon as well for giving Celestia a reason to sent us here in the first place." Twilight said. 

"I guess so." Spike chuckled. "Looks like Luna's been helping me out since the beginning eh?"

The two of them shared a laugh. Twilight settled down and turned around. "Anyways, we need to get to work if we're going to be ready for the party tomorrow. Here." A scroll floated over to Spike. "We'll be more effective if we split off to get all of this done." Spike took a look at his scroll. There were a list of items and chores to be collected and finished for tomorrow's get together. "Head on over to Sugarcube Corner and get Pinkie's help. I'll grab whatever else we need and meet you back here." And with that, Twilight stepped out the front door, Spike following behind before splitting off down his own path.






Meanwhile, on the other side of town; Rarity was preparing with Applejack and Rainbow Dash. They had taken care of decorating AJ's barn. Rarity was hanging tinsel when Applejack brought up a question. "So how you and Spike been Rarity? You two got that meetin' with the dragon chief soon don't ya?"

"Well, actually no, Applejack. You see the chief has been asleep for a while and won't wake up for at least another two years. Dragons can stay awake for years, but in return sleep a long time as they age you see. In fact Spike and I are lucky that they've recently gotten a newer, younger chief, otherwise we'd have to wait potentially decades." Rarity said. "Though I must say, it's nice having that much time to prepare."

"What about that half-gryphon? You two been able to get to know her yet?" Rainbow Dash was the next to jump in. "She sounds like she could be a great flying buddy."

"Oh Willow? Yes, Spike and I had a brief meeting with her once. Truly a beautiful creature. I was quite in awe when I saw her. Such majesty and grace about her."

AJ let out a chuckle. "Just imagine what kind of foal you and Spike would have, 'eh?" 

Rarity gave a light smile and blushed. "Indeed." She had thought of the possibility before, but having Applejack mention the idea as well made it seem more...real to her. 

"You and Spike still haven't, uh... you know yet, have ya?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Rarity suddenly had a number of wildly vivid images flash into her head. "N-no darling. I told Spikey that he would be the one to make the first step when he's ready. His security and comfort come...first." Regardless of how badly I've been in need lately. The unicorn thought to herself, trying desperately to shake her head of such thoughts. She couldn't help it though, there was a burning in her loins. It was a miracle she didn't jump Spike when she woke up this morning. 

Applejack seemed to notice this. "You doin' okay, sugarcube?" She asked with a sly smile. 

Rarity regained her poise as best she could. "Of course, Applejack. I couldn't be any better." Unless of course I were to take Spike, pin him to the ground and- She stopped herself right there. "I...just...have to use the bathroom." She hurriedly walked out of the barn, when she was sure she couldn't be seen, she let out a breath. "Of course this had to happen on a holiday. Oooooooh." She let out a frustrated grunt as she seemed she couldn't decide whether to squat or stand. "Ugh! I know it's not ladylike of me to say but......Dammit, I need a good fucking!" She let out a groan, and then felt her heart quicken when she heard somepony laugh.

"Ah knew it." Applejack was standing nearby with Rainbow Dash floating over her head. "Yer in heat, aintcha Rarity?"

The unicorn tried to think of an excuse, but quickly realized that she wasn't going to think of one. She'd been caught, simple as that. She let out a very disgruntled sigh. "Fine. Yes, I'm in heat if it wasn't obvious enough."

Rainbow Dash was snickering. "Oh man that has to suck. I bet you wish Spike was real comfortable right about now huh?"

Rarity frowned. "Well yes, but there's not a lot I can do right now. I've left it to Spikey to make the first move."

"Sugarcube, that's real considerate an' all, but ya ever think Spike wants to move on but he's a bit nervous?" Applejack asked. 

"Well..." Rarity thought back. Spike had plenty of chances to take things further since his birthday, but he'd never gone any farther than a very passionate kiss or rubbing her flank. "I don't know. He has seemed...eager, but he's always too sweet to say anything outright along that nature."

"Exactly." Applejack said, almost victorious that she had called it. "You see, Sugarcube, ya gotta motivate him a bit. An' hell, ain't no better time or him to get motivated then right now am ah right?" She gave a chuckle. "Now ah ain't sayin' get him to doin' somethin' he ain't ready for, but let him know he's ready for it. Ya gettin' me?"

Rarity had to think for a moment before she could nod. "I believe I understand, yes. While I shouldn't pressure him, I should push him a little bit, correct." Push him right into my-

"Yeah!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Just make it subtle, ya know? Like if he starts to pull away from an especially saucy makeout, you grab the back of his head with your hoof to keep him there. Works for me every time." The pegasus chuckled, looking at AJ.

"Heheh, yeah... yeah it does." Applejack smiled and blushed. "Point is, let 'im know he doesn't have ta be nervous. Show 'im that he is ready, but don't force it on 'im... no matter how bad you want to about now."

Rarity let out a rather rough laugh. "Oh you have no idea, darling." She gave a slight frown. "Oh but I wanted our first time to be a romantic one, not me being some desperate, hungry, sex-craved lunatic."

"Welp, there's always round two, partner." Applejack chuckled and Rainbow Dash joined in.

Rarity looked a bit confused, and Dash explained. "She means that after you two have a go the first time, and you cool off for a few hours, you can go again afterwards and have your big romantic episode there." The thought of going twice was very enticing to Rarity in her current state. 

She had to shake her head. "Thank you girls. I believe you just made my holiday better."

"Nothin' to it Rarity. Hell, we couldn't let ya go on like that with the party tomorrow anyhow. Ah mean think about it. Would be pretty awkward if'n while we was carolin' you went an' jumped Spike's bones right then and there." The three laughed at the idea. "Anyways, we're almost done here. RD an' ah can finish up here. You oughtta head on back home until yer man makes it back and can take care of ya."

Rarity nodded, thanked her friends once again, and walked back to Carousel Boutique in her discomfort. Spike would still be out for a while, too long for her liking. She decided to try and take a nap so she didn't have to think about it.




Back at Sugarcube Corner, Spike had finished making all the preparations that were listed on his scroll, and was standing around talking with Pinkie. "Hey, Pinkie. Does it mean anything if Rarity was acting... well... kinda weird this morning?"

"Weird? How was Rarity acting weird?" A sudden gasp escaped the pink pony. "Is she thinking of getting more cats? I told the girls she would become a crazy cat lady if we weren't careful! Or maybe she's making pants? Hardly anypony wears pants! The only one I know of is Lyra, and that's only a hobby really. Or maybe-"

Spike couldn't help but chuckle at his friend's wild guessing. "No Pinkie, nothing like that. It's just... she woke up today and gave me this really...seductive look, and she didn't stop. Bedroom eyes all morning, but she seemed... uncomfortable, y'know?"

Pinkie stopped and gave a sly smile. "Oh. There's nothing weird about that Spike."

"There isn't?" Spike scratched his head. 

"Nope! I know exactly what's wrong with her."

"Really? What is it?"

There was a ding from some machinery as an oven indicated that it was preheated. "Pretty much what you just heard right there. The oven is on, but there's no cookies inside."

Spike stared at Pinkie blankly. "Uh...You lost me."

She let out a giggle. "The cake is hot and needs to be frosted, she's ordered her pie a la mode, wants you to ice her donut, needs to feel the cream in your eclair, wants you to knead her dough, jiggle her jello, are you following me Spike? These aren't nun puffs you're dealing with here."

The dragon looked terrifyingly confused. "Pinkie, I don't understand a word you just said..."

The earth pony gave a bored sigh. "She wants you to bang her Spike, she's in heat." 

"Oh." Spike said. Then his brow furrowed in thought...then it hit him, and his whole body heated up and turned completely red. "SHE WHAT!?"

Pinkie let out a giggle. "Yes Spike, she wants to bone you, and it sounds like she wants to really really really badly too."

"B-b-but, how do I...what do I...I don't think I'm ready!"

"Of course you are Spikey! You're a big dragon now!"

"But what if I don't do a good job? I've never done this before."

"Oh Spikey, you'll do fine. Nopony does fantastic their first time, you need to practice. And I wouldn't worry at all if I were you." Pinkie let out another giggle. "After all, as big as you are, there's no way Rarity could be unsatisfied."

Spike felt his body temperature heat up more. It was odd how Pinkie could simultaneously make him feel more and less comfortable at the same time. "Pinkie... I didn't know you were so...aware of these things."

"Oh, well that's because I used to swing with Hugh Hoofner. Let me tell you, I learned a lot from that stallion. Really knows how to party, doesn't matter how old he is." Spike had never seen this side of Pinkie before, she seemed more... down to earth than normal, more real than she usually comes off as. From the way she talked she was still obviously Pinkie, but he'd never seen her this calm. It was refreshing really.

"I...dunno exactly what...to do." Spike felt himself calming down around this newer, real-er Pinkie Pie.

"Oh! I can sing you a song about it." There she was.

Pinkie took a deep breath to start her song before Spike held a claw over her mouth. "No thanks Pinkie. See, I know... what to do... I just don't know how to...get...there...You know what I mean?"

Pinkie seemed to revert back to that relaxed version of herself once more. "Well I can tell ya that if she's in heat, you don't have to worry about that one. You just go for it." She let out a chuckle, rather than a giggle. "Hell I'm surprised you didn't wake up with her on top of you. But if you want a real answer, you just get there however you want. Sometimes it just happens, you never really know, usually more fun that way too. It's kinda like a party. Sure, most are fun and you enjoy them, but it's always better when it's a surprise, and Spikey... you're in for a surprise tonight." Pinkie smiled slyly.

Spike turned bright red again. The only thing that he could think of to say as he started for the door was "Wish me luck."

And with typical Pinkie Pie spunk he heard a "Good luck Spike!"






Rarity awoke to her bedroom door being open. She saw Spike enter the room, twiddling his thumbs and looking to the floor. She felt a flare in between her legs, her craving was back with a vengeance. Spike took a look at the clock on the wall, noticing it had just turned midnight, and turned back to Rarity. "H-Happy Hearth's Warming Day Rarity!" He put on a big goofy smile and scratched the back of his head. 

Rarity put on an uncomfortable smile, trying to force the thoughts in her head out. "Y-yes. Happy Hearth's Warming, hun." She tried to quickly kick her leg in a futile attempt to make the heat go away.

Spike rubbed at his arm. "So.... um...

"Yes..."

The two of them just sort of looked at one another's eyes, Spike's heart ran faster as Rarity grew hotter. Suddenly, they simultaneously burst out "I think that we're ready to take the next step!" They both looked at each other in surprise.

"I... uh... I know you're... kinda in need." Spike said. "A-a-and, I've kinda been putting if off for quite a while. I've just been...kinda..."

"Nervous?" 

"Exact.....lllllly..." To Spike's surprise, Rarity was posed on the bed, beckoning him with a forehoof and staring at him with bedroom eyes.

"There's no need to be nervous anymore Spike. Just get over here, and I'll show you a magic even greater than friendship..."
