      Spike woke up during a calm cool morning and saw that he was in a tent with the Cutie Mark crusaders. He then remembered yesterday's events and calmed down, happy to have finally escaped Ponyville.

He looked over to the crusaders. Apple Bloom was sleeping quietly with a peaceful, loving smile one her face. Sweetie Belle appeared to be muttering lyrics to a song. Scootaloo had a smirk on her face and was bobbing her head, probably dreaming that she was in a rock concert. Spike smiled at how peaceful mornings with his marefriends were.

Apple Bloom started to wake up. "Mornin' Spike." she said, in her usual accent. "Hi Apple Bloom, what do you wanna do until Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo wake up? asked Spike, as Apple Bloom pulled herself out of her cot.

"Well, we can always sit down and eat some breakfast, then make some for Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo after." Apple Bloom answered. Spike went over to the supply tent, brought out some cereal, and poured himself and Apple Bloom a bowl.

"So..." He said, handing Apple Bloom her bowl. "We don't have a table, so where do we sit?" "Ah guess we could sit on my bed." said Apple Bloom. The two sat down on the small cot and started to eat their cereal. After they finished, they moved closer together. "You know, you ARE my favorite of the crusaders, Apple Bloom. But please don't tell Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo that." Spike admitted.

Apple Bloom moved a little bit closer to Spike. Apple Bloom slowly wrapped a hoof around Spike's waist and pulled him closer. The two locked lips in a passionite kiss that lasted for what seemed like forever. After a minute or two they pulled away, gasping for air.

"That... that was better than our Harem kisses!" said Spike in utter amazement. "Yeah...ah really enjoyed it as well. Wanna go further?" asked Apple Bloom. "Yeah..." answered Spike. Spike kissed Apple Bloom, much harder this time.

His tongue was just about to enter Apple Bloom's mouth when they heard Sweetie Belle scream. "OH MY CELESTIA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I THOUGHT YOU LOVED EACH OF US, SPIKE?! WHY ARE YOU MAKING OUT WITH APPLE BLOOM? I HATE YOU! I'M LEAVING FOREVER!" Sweetie Belle screamed.

Spike was shocked. He never thought the other crusaders would care, especially Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie! Wait!" shouted Spike. But it as too late. Sweetie Belle had ran off into the Everfree forest. Scootaloo woke up as well. "I heard everything, Spike. I'm leaving too." she said. "Noooooo!!" Spike said. He started crying in absolute sadness. Apple Bloom was crying as well. "Oh my gosh... I's all my fault ah'm so sorry, Spike." she said in between sobs.
