“Ow, don’t bite so hard!” Twilight flinched in pain, as Spike bit into her leg. Spike drank his share of blood and moved away so Sweetie Belle could drink.
“Sorry, I can’t help it! These teeth are so sharp, that skin is like butter to them!” Spike opened his mouth to show his fangs. Twilight gasped in pain as Sweetie bit into her other leg.
“I feel so weak now, did you have to drink so much Spike?” Sweetie stopped, and looked back guiltily.
“Sorry Twilight, I might have drank more than I should have.”
“Sweetie, you need to control your hunger! We could kill somepony if we don’t!”
“I’m okay, I just need to rest for a minute.” Twilight cast a healing spell on herself. “That’s better! Spike, could you go get me my advanced mana potion from my lab?”
“Sure, I’ll be right back!” Spike hurriedly left the room.
“Now, Sweetie Belle, I wanna talk to you about what happened down in the basement.” Sweetie looked up at Twilight with a flustered expression on her face.
“W-what about it?” Sweetie Belle started sweating nervously.
“Spike didn’t force you to do that did he?”
“What! No, no no no! No! Why would you even ask that!”
“Princess Celestia said that when dragons reach sixteen years of age, they no longer feel simple emotions. They feel each emotion with full force. In other words, if he get’s angry, he get’s really angry! And if he gets sad, he gets borderline suicidal! So I was just thinking, if Spike gets, you know, would he force himself on to anyone? I know he wouldn’t, he’s too gentle to do something like that, but it never hurts to make sure!” Sweetie had a thoughtful look on her face.
“So, if Spike loved somepony, he would love that pony with all his heart?”
“Sweetie, do you love Spike?”
“Yes, more than I’ve ever loved anyone. He’s the one I want to spend my life with.”
“You do know that if you marry a dragon, you become immortal as well?” Sweetie Belle looked down sadly.
“Yes, I know. And I thought about it before. I would hate to outlive all of my friends and family! But I would still have Spike, and you, you’re immortal now right? Because you’re a princess?” Now it was Twilight turn to look down sadly.
“Yeah, and not a day goes by that I don’t think about it.” The door opening snapped their attention away from the conversation, and to Spike entering the room with the mana potion.
“Sorry it took so long. I had to look for it, it wasn’t in the potions cabinet with the others.”
“It’s fine, Spike.” Twilight took the mana potion and downed it all in one drink. She shook from all the energy she just consumed. “That’s much better, now I have stuff to do. You two know the drill, stay here, and if anyone knocks, don’t answer!” Twilight locked the door as she went out. Sweetie looked at Spike.
“Now that we’re all alone, you wanna make out?”
“Hell yeah!”
