Cheerilee couldn't believe herself, she embarrassed herself in front of that guy. She hated that room it always made her act so weird, but that was also why she loved that room it just made her feel so free. Only… something was still nagging her, she felt like she forgot something, and what made it even worse she stole his jacket, she felt so bad. But it wasn't her fault he did rip her favorite shirt, she looked really nice in this shirt. She did have to adamant though his hand did feel good, and it had been a long time. Cheerilee felt the jacket she had over her back as she moved on her bed. She could hear her sister down stairs which meant that she might get heard, she had to be quite. Cheerilee opened her night stand and pulled one of the few erotic books she ever bought. She flipped to one of her favorite parts of the book. Cheerilee started to rub her breast as the story got better and better, she was now pinch her breast ever now and then just to throw in something different, making her moan out loud. She stopped mid-sentence and smelt the jacket she had stolen, she imagined it was him and her in the book. Touching each other, holding each other, Cheerilee felt it was time, she moved her hand down under her skirt. Once there her eyes shot open and realized what she forgot.

Spike woke up to his alarm at eight in the morning, this was normal for him sense he had to tend to the library. But he didn't need to wake up at this time today sense he didn't have to open for another four hours. But Spike figured he could find something to do, but he really had to change that time it rings. Spike made his was down stairs to find some food to eat. Spike went to his gem jar and started looking for a gem he could cut up to eat. Pulling out the biggest gem he could find, Spike pulled out a knife that was enchanted to cut gems and started cutting the one in his hand into slivers. He was making a dish he made up that he liked to call gem fries.
~
When he was done cutting them he had twelve, ten long ones and two shorter ones. Tossing one of the short ones in his mouth he headed to the shower. Normally he could eat this in a few minutes but he felt like severing them today. On his way to his shower he grabbed a bag that could hold all the gems and threw them in there. Spike grabbed some cloths and headed in the shower where he was met with an bad feeling in his stomach. He pulled the half eaten gem out of his mouth and coughed up a letter from probably Twilight. Spike let the paper fall onto the bathroom table along with the other cloths and dental hygiene things Twilight made him use. Picking the letter up and opening it he found it was from her and it read.
“Dear Spike I would just like to tell you that I made it the meeting fine and I just wanted to tell you I was doing fine. I hope you’re having fun with being freedom. Love Twilight.”
“That’s good she made it there safely.” He said leaving it there. “I'll wright back when I'm done.” He said as he started to strip off his cloths. Putting the gem back in his mouth he hopped into the shower and started to lather himself. It wasn't long before he found himself starting to think about what had happen last night. That girl was just acting so weird, even weirder then some of the slutty girls he heard about from his friends. They sounded like they were at least subtle about it. She was just asking to be taken. And the worst part about it was she would be coming back soon for her books. “What am I going to do?” He asked himself. That too there was whatever was in that room he had to deal with, and that door. He could either leave it open and have to make sure no one went in there, or close it and have to open every time someone wanted a book from there. Maybe he could make a levy system that might help.
“I'll have to go to the store then.” He said as he rinsed off. “Well at least I have the time.” He said stepping on the towel he leaves on the floor. Picking up another towel he stared to dry off. Spike started to crush the last of the gem as he threw his towel to the side. Spike grabbed his cloths when his phone went off and started playing 'Sand Storm' which meant it was a call. Spike managed to get his underwear and pants on before reaching his phone in this room. Spike glanced at his phone seeing it was. Seeing it was Scootaloo he answered it without a second thought. “Yo.” He said putting his phone between his chain and shoulder.
“Hay men want you doing?” She asked with the sound of running water in the background.
“Nothing just got out of the shower and about to head to the store, what about you?” He asked pulling his shirt over his having trouble with his phone as well.
“Oh, well I'm in the shower so.” She said with a small laugh.
“Scoots I told you not to call me when you’re in there. You always give to much detail.” He said pulling the phone and switching sides while he put his shirt on.
“What you don't want to hear about how I'm cleaning my sma...” She said but he interrupted her.
“If you don't stop then I'm going to hang up.” He said deadpan.
“Fine, but was going to say feet.” She said with a chuckle. “So you’re still single right?” She asked making Spike confused.
“Yea, but I thought you were going out with Rumble?” He asked confused.
“I am, I was just thinking about bring someone by after school that I think you might like.” She said making him shrug.
“Oh alright, when will you galls going to get here?” He asked before hearing her tap her foot in the water.
“Probably a bit after four, that way she can get dressed up.” She said as the running water stopped in the background.
“Oh, well how about five that’s when I get off and Twilights not here to cover for me.” He said making her go silent.
“So a dinner date then, alright I'll tell her.” She said through the sound of cloths being put on. Spike remembered the letter for some reason and started to look for a pen.
“Alright cool. Oh hay weird question but is there anything wrong with Cheerilee?” He asked as jumped onto his bed.
“Ahh no, not that I know of why?” She asked with a questioning tone.
“I don't know. She was acting weird when she was here yesterday.” He said pulling another gem fry out and tossing it in his mouth.
“I haven't seen anything. What was she acting like?” She asked as Spike sat up and grabbed a piece of paper of paper and started to wright back to Twilight.
' Dear Twilight glad you got there safe and good luck with the meeting. Love Spike' He finished before rolling it up and sealing it with wax.
“Well I'm not sure. It's hard to describe.” He lied. He knew how she was acting she was acting, she was horny, or at least talked like she was. “I don't know, can you give me a sic, I have to send something.” He said lifting the sealed letter up.
“Wait. Put it on speaker phone I like to hear your fire thing.” She said making Spike stop.
“Fine.” He said pulling the phone away and hitting the button and putting it on his chest. Taking a deep breath and focusing on burning it to Twilight. Feeling he was ready he let out the air igniting it on its way out making the paper he was holding burn and float away. “There you happy?” He asked hearing a gleeful sound.
“Yea vary. Oh looks like I have to go see ya.” She said as Spike put the gem back.
“Alright see ya.” He said hanging his phone up. Spike sat up on his bed giving a glance around. Spike found there weren’t that many things to occupy himself with, all he could really do was play video games or violin. And he didn't want to do that play games right now, and he didn't like playing without someone there. Remembering he had to go to the store anyways Spike hopped up and started heading down stairs passing all the pictures of friends and family. Spike started to think about the time he had spent in this town. He passed a picture with Twilight and all her friends, which made him think of everything he had done for them. He loved each of them all in different ways, some of in ways he shouldn't have. But that was all in the past now, well for the most part.
Spike glanced into the library making sure everything was in order when he saw the trap door still open. He figured he might as well get it over with and headed down. The room still had the light on which he forgot to turn off in his haste to not flip out. Spike looked down to see the books still on the table that sat between the three chairs. Spike took a seat in the same spot as before and tried feeling for the wet spot. Luckily it was dried out which meant he didn't have to do it himself. Spike leaned over the chair looking down at what looked like underwear. He reached down and picked them up, Spike couldn't believe she left her underwear here. He started to feel the underwear while he went back up stairs. It was soft like it should be if she ware to wear them down there, they ware lavender and looked like they ware boyshorts. In truth they ware rather cute and the thought of seeing her in them did sound rather nice. Spike looked at the underwear standing at the top of the stairs before looking around. He shoved the underwear in his pocket and went to get his jacket. Spike didn't really need a jacket but he liked to wear it while he was flying. Heading into the main part of the library where he left it, but it wasn't there.
“I could of sworn I left it down here.” He said looking around. Pulling the gem out of his mouth he tried retracing his steps. He put the finished with the books away, complained about the heat took his jacket and put it down there, and went to file his nails. “I guess I'll find it later.” He said walking into the living room. Grabbing his house keys and wallet Spike headed out, locking the door behind him. Spike focused on his wings trying to pull them into existence. Spike was getting better at this but it still took lots of focus. “How does Rainbow do this so easily?” He said as he finally got them out. Giving them a flap he lifted into the air a bit. Starting to flap harder he lifted himself into the air, leaning forward he started to move towards the hardware store. Spike pulled another gem out once he was finished with the one he had and tossed another in his mouth. Spike got a weird feeling almost like he was being watched, and he didn't like it. He gave a few glances around, all he saw was clouds which made him feel even stranger. Picking up the speed he started feeling cold. It wasn't long before Spike could see the the store. He started to lower himself taking a look around seeing as he had a ways to go.
“Speed up kid!” He heard before seeing a rainbow blur slam into him towards the ground, making his gem come out his mouth. Spike turned to see who it was finding Rainbow Dash, who gave a small wave with her wings on full display behind her.
“Rainbow what the fuck!?” He said falling fast to the ground, trying to open his wings and slow the fall.
“Hay, no need for all that.” She said with a big grin.
“We're going to crash Rainbow, let me go!” He yelled making her shake her head.
“Come on kid you know I wouldn't do this if I couldn't stop.” She said before flapping her wings making them slow down but not enough. “Sorry Spike it doesn’t look like we can get out of this one.” She said as she started flapping her wings with all her force, making Spike go the same.
“Rainbowww!” Spike yelled before they slammed into the ground.
Spike was enjoying his nap and really wished it didn't end, but the bucket of water ended that rather quickly. Spike shook his head trying to get the water off. Spike opened his eyes to find he was in a small hole, and there was about half a dozen people looking down at him. He didn't recognize any of them other than Rainbow who he was pissed at.
“Rainbow I'm going to ki...” He started to yell trying to lift his arm but stopping when pain shot threw it making him scream. “My arm!” He yelled making a few people gasp.
“Come on help me get him up.” He heard Rainbow say before feeling hands pick him up none of them touching his arm he was holding. Spike looked back to see he was being put in a chair. “Alright, Spike it looks like your arm popped out of place. If you want to move it you have to pop it back into place, alright?” She said making him nod. “It's going to hurt a lot alright.” She said making him nod his head and look up.
Spike prepared for the worst, not having done this before. There was a moment where he didn't feel anything but that ended fast when she pushed it back into place. Spike wonted to yell but all that came out was fire, which surprised most people.
“Sweet Luna that hurt.” He said holding the arm before glancing at Rainbow, who was the only one who stayed after the fire show.
“So...” She said rubbing the back of her head. “Anything else hurt?” She said with a stupid grin.
“It just hurts. Why would you do that, we could have died?” He said punching her arm making her yelp a bit, making him sigh. “Are you alright?” He said with a more caring tone.
“It's just my shoulder, you’re the one that hit the ground harder.” She said rubbing it a bit.
“That would make sense if I wasn't part dragon, your bodies weaker than mine. Come here.” He said before picking her up.
“Spike stop, put me down.” She said trying to push him off before flinching.
“How did you fix my arm if yours hurts too?” He asked as he carried her into the store. Spike looked down to find Rainbow with her arms crossed, probably because there were people looking and giving looks.
“Hay mister.” He heard behind himself before feeling a hand on his back making Spike turn around. “I think you dropped this.” A small kid said holding out what looked like his gem bag.
“Oh thanks kid.” He said. “Rainbow can you take that for me my hands are full.” He said having her take the bag from him.
“And I found this near you.” He said holding out the half eaten one. “Can I have this one?” He asked with a big smile.
“How about you take a different one.” He said trying to reach the bag with his hands Rainbow keeping it from him.
“I'll give him one if I can have one.” She said with a smile.
“I don't care, just give him one.” He said having her open the bag and hand the kid one and taking the other. “Just be careful and don't try to eat it.” He said making the kid run off.
“Can you put me down?” She asked taking one of the gems out of the bag.
“Will you pay for some pain killers?” He asked making her nod. “Alright.” He said putting her down.
“So where's your jacket, I almost didn't recognize you without it?” She asked as she put the gem in her mouth.
“I lost it. So why did you tackle me anyway?” He asked as she started sucking on the gem and walked down the isles.
“No real reason just wanted to talk. Heard you got left to watch the library. That must be cool having the whole place to yourself.” She said taking some pain killers off the shelf.
“Yea, but it feels weird being alone.” He said before Rainbow stopped him.
“Spike can I be real with you for a minute? Like bro to bro?” She asked making him look at her and see she was serious.
“Yea, totally.” He said looking around.
“You’re a catch. Like girls would be lucky to go out with you. Your smart, strong, funny, caring, and your pretty good in the sack too.” She said making Spike look away. “You’re like the perfect man.” She said elbowing him.
“How do you know about the sack thing?” He asked making her laugh.
“Don't you remember your last birthday party?” She asked as she moved the gem in her mouth with a small smile.
“All I remember from my last party was you guys handing me drinks, and then I woke up I was in bed with you and Jack.” He said with a shrug.
“Alright well, I'll fill you in. Like you said we were all drinking and someone asked who could drink more me or Jack. She won that game.” She said as she started to walk. “But being so drunk, one of old companions came up.” She said blushing a bit.
“What was it?” He asked shaking his head a little.
“Who was better in bed.” She said scratching the back of her head while Spike's eyes shot open. “Yea, that’s why you woke up in bed with us.” She said blushing some more.
“So... who won?” He asked slowly.
“Well me of course.” She said with a smile. “Bet you wish you could remember that night, two girls on you birth day.” She said giving him a hard elbow. “And you never know, anything can happen this year.” She said with another elbow followed by a wink.
“Yea, that would be cool.” He said rubbing where she kept elbowing him. “But why are you telling me all this?” He asked making her put her hand on his shoulder.
“Spike what I'm trying to say is. You have to be careful with Twilight not around, I don't want you getting mixed up in girl trouble.” She said as Spike turned into the hardware part of the store.
“What does Twilight have to do with any of this?” He asked picking out a strong rope.
“Spike, I've seen the way some girls look at you, older girls. Ones that look like they would jump on you if you asking if you asked 'if she wanted to get out of there'. And then Twilight comes by and treats you like a kid. That is a huge turn off.” She said nearing yelling and throwing her arm out. “Hell, I've done that a few times. There have been a few time that when you’re looking like we can go blow off some steam real easy. And then Twilight comes up and cleans something off your face with a handkerchief.” She said throwing her arms out while Spike measured out fifty feet but the comment made him stop and look at her.
“Rainbow, you just described what she did last week.” He said making her blush, cross her arms and look away.
“Well, I was having a bad day last week.” She said still looking away shifting the gem in her mouth. “Geaz this gem is good. What is this emerald?” She said trying to change the subject.
“Yea, it is.” He said cutting the rope and looking for a hook.
“So, what’s with all the rope?” She asked still trying to change the subject.
“There's a weird room in the library that people need to get into for books. I just wanted to make sure I could open it, the door is really heavy and the last time I tried opening it I nearly passed out.” He said picking up a hook up that looked like it would work.
“Is it the room with all the dirty books in it?” She asked as he picked one out and headed to the check-out but got pulled into the health care part.
“Yea you know about it?” He asked as Rainbow grabbed some condoms.
“Yea Rarity tried getting me to read it. But the way I see it if I don't someone there then its not worth trying.” She said as she nudged him to the front counter passing by the alcohol grabbing a bottle of some of the better tequila.
“Yea, I guess I feel the same. I mean I've only done it like twice... But I just can't wrap my head around holding a book and holding something else at the same time.” He said making Rainbow laugh.
“Yea, I can see what you mean. Go ahead and throw your stuff up there. I'll pay for it.” She said as they got to the stand.
“Alright, do you have to work today?” He asked making her nod.
“Yea, you don't mind taking all this back to your place and I can get it later?” She asked making him nod as she paid for everything. “Cool I'll be by late for all of it.” She said as it was bagged up.
“Alright.” He said as he took most of the bags but the one with the bottle sense they wouldn't let him walk out with it. “You know if you’re ever feel like you need to blow off some steam you can come to me.” He said slowly and awkwardly, trying not to make eye contact.
“Wow, got some balls to say that. But you should be careful I might just take you up on that offer.” She said slapping his ass, making him jump I bit and flying up a bit. “Got to go, see yea tonight.” She said before leaving with a grin.
“See yea.” He said looking at all the bags he had to carry back.
~
Spike made his way back this time walking witch let him throw back some pain killers. It wasn't that he didn't like walking he just needed to practice fly. Rainbow said to do so until he could do it without really thinking. But after what she did to him in the air he was going to stay grounded. Spike started to look around and thought about the differences between the big city and small town. He found himself thinking about this often. It was just strange how different they ware. Here everyone was happy, nice, and know each other. While in the city though everyone just seamed mad and didn't want anything to do with people they didn't know, which was completely opposite to here if you didn't know someone here then you better watch out for Pinky Pie. But there were down sides to a small to, if you fuck up there’s a good chance the whole town would know within the week. But the air, he thought taking a deep breath. Nothing like it, when he came here the air was so fresh he felt like he could take on the world. Spike looked at his watch he was surprised to find there was only an two hours tell he had to open. Pulling out his wings as fast as he could he got a running start and flew home to put up the rig and check for books. He was coming up fast on the library heading for the balcony that connected the two rooms but spotting someone at the front entrance making him slow a bit.
“Who is that?” He said looking at the person only able the make out what they were wearing, which was a skirt, purple blouse and a gray jacket. Spikes landed quickly and ran through his room and make a bee line for the door. Making it to the door he smashed his face to the window and spotted them. “Cheerilee?” He said before pulling his face off and opening the door. “Cheerilee!” He yelled making her stop in her tracks being a little over twenty feet away. She slowly turned around before giving a shy smile.
“Hi again.” She said with a small wave. “I was just stopping by to say sorry about last night.” She said still walking backwards.
“Wait.” He nearly yelled scaring both of them a bit. “Ahh would you like to come in for some tea?” He said making her stop for a second. It took her a moment before she spoke thinking over the offer before a small smile came to her face and she nod.
“Alright. I guess I have time.” She said before walking back with a hop in her step as she followed him into the library. Spike held the door open for her as a man should and closed it behind her after she walked in.
“Do you have any tea you like we have just about every type?” He said as she took a seat.
“Well I'm not really a big tea drinker. How about you just bring something you like?” She said starting to take her jacket off and putting in on the arm of the chair.
“Alright I'll be back in a minute.” He said before going into the kitchen and grabbing things in a rush. Spike raced around the room picking things out of the cabinets and getting water and some cheese cake from the fridge. Popping out of the kitchen Spike looked at Cheerilee before grabbing the tray with everything on it and backed into the room with tray in hand. “Here we go, Dragonwell tea, and cheese cake.” He said stopping before putting the tray down. “Actually you don't mind if we go into the living room do you? Twilight doesn't like it when people eat it here.” He said with a small chuckle.
“Sure, I don't mind.” She said picking up her jacket and following him into the normal living space. Spike placed the tray down and took a sit in the smaller room. The room had a coffee table that sat between two single seats and in front of a three seater, all of with had a lavender color and pattern on them, the pattern just being swirls but it had a pleasant look to it.
“Listen this is hard to say but, last night there was a few misinterpretations.” Spike said picking up the tea pot warming it up with his hand. “There are more than a few things we have to talk about.” He said putting a cup and plate in front of her.
“I know the why I was acting is inexcusable. I hope you can forgive me.” She said as the tea simmered the sound of water at a slight boil filling the silence.
“Well I can overlook what you did. But the problem isn't with me it's with the shop.” He said smelling the pot before giving a nod. “I'm not going to ban you, even though I should. But I still have to do something ab...” He said while starting to pour the tea when she interrupted him.
“I'm sorry did I do something to be kicked out off?” She asked as the smell of tea and cake filled the room.
“Well I don't know how 'excited' girls normally get but, I found a pair of underwear and a wet spot. Sooo...” He said pouring her a cup before looking up to see her face redder them most apples hes seen at the farm. She started to pick the cup her hand shaking making her stop it with her other one.
“I… well… you see I-I was there was a part but I didn't mean to...” She said moving her hands around as she tried explaining. In the end she just kind of put her hands up and threw them down. “Do you have them?” She asked still looking away.
“I might have them on hand.” He said crushing one of the gems with his hand and put it in his tea. “Would you like some?” He said calmly still trying not to crack under the pressure. She didn't look at him which was a shame because if she did she would have seen his blood red face as well, but nodded without knowing what it was. He sprinkled the rest of the gem into her cup and stirred it up for her.
“What are you going to do with them?” She asked as her hand finally picked up the cup and taking a small sip.
“You will get them back. It's not like I can keep them.” He said as she turned to him while he stared to take a sip as well.
“You can...” She said making him start cough up his tea.
“What!?” He nearly yelled through the coughs.
“If you don't say anything I'll let you keep them.” She said.
“Nobody would find out regardless.” He said with a small chuckle. “We don't tell people when people get banned from the library or why.” He said setting his cup down.
“But there was a sign a while back. You banned someone called Rainbow dash. It even said the reason.” She said making him laugh.
“That was to keep her out we were having a party. There have been many times when we had to ban people, the past mouth there's been like five.” He said making her let out a laugh.
“Wow. I was really worried you were going to tell everyone I was doing.” She said taking a sip of her tea.
“But I do have to tell Twilight.” He said getting some cheese cake.
“Hahe. You’re joking right?” She asked with the cup in front of her face. “Please tell me your joking.” She said pulling the cup down.
“Well I have to tell her. She's the head librarian. Everything has to go through her.” He said before eating the slice of cake.
“But you said you wouldn't say anything to anyone.” She said giving a stern look.
“That would be true but, she's in charge so I report to her.” He said with a shrug.
“But she’s not even here. Doesn't that make you the boss?” She asked
with a pleading face. “You don't have to tell her.” She said making him nod.
“I can see what you mean. I kind of like the sound of that, Spike the boss.” He said leaning back in the chair.
“So you’re not going to tell anyone?” She asked making him nod. She let out a sigh and ate some cheese cake with a fork. “Well I'm glad thats off my plate.” She said leaning back in her chair.
“But I'll have to keep your underwear for insurance.” He said with a small grin making her blush a bit.
“A-Alright, is there anything else you want to talk about?” She said with a small smile the blush despairing.
“Nothing really, other than your punishment I didn't really need to talk to you, and sense I didn't have to punish you I'm not sure what to talk about.” He said taking a sip of his tea.
“Really, what are you going to do to me?” She said with a small blush and a growing smile.
“Well, when I was growing up Twilight always said 'An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.' From that one famous guy. But I'm not Twilight and I don't believe that.” He said before taking another bite of cake. ”Now I believe that people should be punishment. But half as bad as what they did depending how they feel about it.” He said before taking a sip of tea and cleaning his mouth out. “I was going to have you hand over your underwear whenever you come here.” He said making her face go complete red. “Just until Twilight gets back. I would have let you get your books. It would be your choice to come or not.” He said with a smirk looking at the up not seeing the smirk she was making herself.
“W-well it wouldn't be right to go against the rules and not be punished right?” She said making Spike look at her and raise an eye brow. “It wouldn't be fair to other people would it?” She said not meeting his gaze.
“That’s true. Are you saying you want the punishment?” He said making her nod a little.
“It would only be fair.” She said trying to look at him.
“That’s true, but if you want me to do so. Then tell me...” He said make her shake her head a bit. “If you want to be like that then I want you to tell me, while looking at me.” He said with a smirk. Man she was acting like she wanted it, this will be fun. She looked like she was trying to look at him shaking a little her face a bit red before she met his eyes.
“I want you to punish me.” She said slowly holding his gaze the whole time. The words rang out through the room reaching both of them making one smile and the other blush even more.
“Alright starting tomorrow whenever you come here you have to hand over your underwear.” He said making her nod.
“Alright. This is really good tea. What did you put in it?” She asked after taking a sip.
“Other than the tea there was that gem I put in.” He said making her look at him while normal color started coming back to her face.
“But I thought normal people couldn't eat them?” She asked making a confused face.
“Well normally that’s true. But you can break them up and mix them in things or you can suck them. Normal people can't just eat them like I can.” He said taking one out and biting it. Crunching the gem up he swallowed and ate the last bit. “I can add them to just about anything, I think it adds something to just about everything.” He said drinking the last of his tea to wash the gem down.
“I've never heard of that. I'd love to hear more about it but I have to get to the school and get ready.” She said getting up. “This was nice.” She said nicely as she picked up her jacket. “Do you think I can have some of this tea to go?” She said as he stood after her.
“Sure, I'll get a to-go cup. But...” He said before looking at her. “I'll be wanting the cup back.” He said making her turn.
“I'll bring it back.” She said before fixing her skirt. “Again I'm sorry about last night.” She said as Spike got a to-go cup from the kitchen.
“It's fine, really.” He said walking back in and setting the cup down and pouring the last of the tea in it. Without realizing it the cup almost overflowed making him drink some before stopping. “Oh sorry.” He said handing it over while rubbing his head. “I didn't realize what I was doing.” He said as she took it with a small blush.
“It's alright. It might be a little better now.” She said taking a small sip. She gave a wink at Spike before walking to the door cup in hand.
“C-Cheerilee, about your shirt.” He said making her turn with a small smile. “You should bring your shirt by I might be able to fix it.” He said making her nod.
“I'll bring it by some time.” She said walking to the door and opening it. “Do you think I can come by again sometime?” She asked making him smile a bit.
“You can stop by anytime.” He said slowly making her smile and walk out the door. “Bye.” He said as she gave a small wave as she left. Spike started to pick up the dishes to clean up but couldn't stop smiling the whole time but didn't realize until he was cleaning the tea set. “Crap.” He said with a sigh.
~
It had been a long five hours and Spike was now realizing just how hard with was going to be. But it was closing time and Spike could finally make some real food. Spike flipped the sign outside the shop and went to start cooking, he knew Scootaloo might show up any moment with her friend. He started to pull things out for the meal. Spike started to make the dinner throwing the apron he got for his birthday one year from Luna. She gave it to him as a gift along with a letter saying 'Just because something might look stupid doesn't mean it won’t work, and just because something might look girly doesn't mean you can't use it'. Twilight thought it was a nice gift and it was, he had this apron for the last six years and it really only needed to be cleaned in the washer. At first he thought it was a crappy gift and she only gave it to him because she didn't have a gift but he later found out she had it made by the same person that makes her cloths and she put an enchantment on it to grow as he did. He felt like an ass when he found out and sent a letter to her saying sorry. When his friends saw it they made fun of it for a week or so about have a heart on it with pink frill on the top and bottom. But after they found out it was from the princess they got quite fast. It wasn't long before Spike started using it whenever he cooked and most people who saw him in it had there laugh and went on with their day. It wasn't long before Spike had dinner prepared and in the oven, giving him time to make sure everything was in order.
Spike was looking around not finding anything out of order, he pulled his phone from the apron and sent a message to Scootaloo about the date before there was a knock at that door. Spike put the phone back in the pocket and went to the door. Thinking it was the date he opened the door without a second thought with a smile.
“Dinners in the oven, and I found a movie for after if you want to watch it.” He said without looking who was there, by moving out of the way.
“Well this is unexpected.” He heard a familiar voice say making him turn. Spike was surprised to find Cheerilee standing there with the cup from before. “Who am I turning down food though?” She asked rhetorically as she stepped into the house.
“You’re my date tonight?” He asked as she walked past him and took a seat on the big couch.
“Well if you play your cards right. But that’s not why I came here. I just came to return your cup.” She said with a smile putting it on the table when his phone went off. “I like your apron.” She said as he pulled his phone out and chocked the message. 'She had to cancel family emergency.' The message read from Scootaloo.
“Thanks.” He said putting his phone back. “But it looks like I no longer have a date.” He said with a sigh.
“Oh well if you made too much food I can help.” She said with a smile as she leaned back in the chair. “I had to skip lunch today.” She said before of their stomach grumbled making them both let out a small chuckle.
“Well I did make a lot.” He said rubbing the back of his head. “And I don't want to have left overs.” He said before shrugging. “Well Cheerilee would you like to join me for dinner?” He asked putting his hand out to her.
“Such a gentleman.” She said taking his hand and got helped up. “I would love to join you for dinner.” She said being lead into the kitchen by his hand. As they made it into the kitchen the smell of stuffed mushrooms filled both their noses as they cooked in the oven. “It smells really good. Mind shearing what it is?” She asked as she took a seat at one of the ends of the table.
“It's stuffed mushrooms. One of the few dishes I'm good at.” He said checking on it dish. “I figured why not make something instead of having to go out and have to find a place and wait on other people to get food. Plus I won’t have to pay as much this way.” He said making her laugh a bit.
“Very smart.” She said putting her jacket on the back of her chair.
“Would you like something to drink. We have water, I can make more tea or I could even get some of Twilights wine if you would prefer it?” He said making her shrug.
“Well some wine does sound nice, will Twilight be OK with it?” She asked making Spike wave it off.
“She won't mind.” He said hopping on the counter and looking on top of the cabinets at the few bottle. “Do you prefer anything?” He asked looking down at her to see her undoing the top button before pulling her hands quickly when she saw him looking. She gave a small smile and a cute laugh.
“Sorry, just getting a little more comfortable.” She said waving it off. “Just get me whatever Twilight likes to drink with it.” She said having him nod and grab one of her red wine bottles.
“This one looks good.” He said hopping down from the counter and getting a wine glass. Opening one of the drawers he pulled the bottle opener out, Spike twisted the opener into the cork and pulled it out. “There we go.” He said placing the glass next to her and handing her the cork.
“You’re not having any.” She asked before smelling the cork and pouring a glass.
“I'm really aloud to drink without Twilight's permission.” He said when the oven went off.
“Come on, you already had to open the bottle.” She said as he pulled the dish out of the oven. Grabbing a heat plate he placed it on the table and moved to the fridge. “If she's going to be mad then at least have some fun over it.” She said as he pulled the salad and cheese.
“I guess I could have a bit.” He said placing the last of the things on the table. “But if I do... I want you to stay for a movie.” He said walking to the cabinet holding all of the drinking glasses.
“Trying to bargain?” She said with the same cute laugh. “I should warn you I bargain with kids you age about far less.” She said with a smirk then making a thinking face. “Alright then, if I watch the movie then I want you to bring me ice cream and a nice blanket.” She said leaning back and crossing her legs.
“What are we going to do? Snuggle.” He said making her shrug. “Alright then, I'll have a drink or two.” He said pulling a glass out and bring it back to the table. “Let’s eat then.” He said pouring himself a glass.
“Let's eat.” She said picking one of the three mushrooms.

The time went on and they both finished there meal, after Spike finished putting everything away they both made their way to the couch where he put the movie in and relaxed. It wasn't long before the movie began when it did Spike was quickly reminded that he had an obligation. Spike was glaring at her from across the chair holding his side after getting kicked with her what looked like school normal school heals. Hopping off the chair he ran up upstairs and getting his beds comforter.
Coming down the stairs he found Cheerilee pulling off her high socks and putting them on the back of the chair. Spike started looking at her as he came down the stairs, she looked cute while she was like this. All the other times he had seen her she was reserved within reason, there were times when she acted different but he could look past that. If Spike didn't know she had been drinking he would ask what gotten into her, but he know what happen, she was drunk he had barely had a glass and a half when the rest of the bottle was drank. But he liked her like this, she was true, she wasn't try to put up a face or even keep him from seeing how she really felt.
“Spiiiike I'm cold.” She wined as he was walking behind the chair and put I over her.
“Do you want your ice cream now or later?” He asked as she got comfortable.
“Later. Come sit with me, I want some company.” She said pulling the blanket away inviting him into it. Spike kicked off his shoes and sat next to her, he felt the blanket fall on him and her lean on him.
“You enjoying the movie?” He asked as she pushed him to the arm of the chair and wrapped her arms around him.
“Yea but I don't think I'll make it through it.” She said as she moved her arms around his chest and putting her head on him. “You don't mind if I sleep here right?” She asked looking up at him there faces mere inches apart.
“Well it wouldn't be right if I made you leave how you are now.” He said having her put her head back down and rubbed it against him. Being in this position was nice the feeling of another holding onto him knowing they were right there, feeling there body move, feeling them breathe. He was sure that if anyone came in and saw them they would look like a couple cuddling enjoying each other’s company. Spike brought his hand down on her side sliding it up to her shoulder slightly rubbing it. She gave a slight moan as he did so and moved under the blanket pulling it over her legs that ware spread slightly. It wasn't more than half way through the movie when there was a soft snorer coming from her. He knew he couldn't escape from her grip and he wasn't sure if he wanted to. He felt the best thing to do was just lean back and relax.
