// Spike's Report Assignment

//------------------------------//

One afternoon at the academy, the students were in class taking notes on Cherilee's lecture. As Spike took notes, he thought to himself, 'And here we are back in class. I admit it was a nice Spring Break, but I guess it had to come to an end.'

Suddenly Principal Celestia's voice came on the intercom, "Attention. Would Spike Drake report to my office right away? Spike Drake, report to my office immediately."

The students were surprised to have heard the Principal call for Spike, as the boy himself was concerned. He looked up at Cherliee, as the woman spoke, "Go ahead, Spike. You're excused."

"Thank you." Spike got up and walked out of the classroom, leaving the girls concerned.

"I wonder what Principal Celestia wants with Spike?" Twilight asked.

"I hope nothing bad." Fluttershy said in worry, thinking maybe she somehow found out about the time she and Spike got intimate.

"You and me both, Fluttershy." Applejack agreed, as she and Rainbow each hoped the principal didn't discover the time they both slept with Spike.

"Come on, girls. I think you're starting to overreact." Sunset said.

"Yes. We know Spike hadn't done anything to get in trouble." Rarity added.

"At least none that we know of." Twilight said in worry, as the others were once again concerned.

Meanwhile, Spike was walking down the halls of the building on his way to Principal Celestia's office. As he walked he thought to himself, 'What could the principal want with me all of a sudden? We just ended Spring Break and she needs to talk to me? I hope I'm not in trouble.' he sighed.

When he arrived at the principal's office, he knocked on the door, and heard Celestia's voice from inside, "Come in," Spike opened the door and went inside seeing the principal at her desk. When the woman noticed him she smiled, "Spike, please take a seat."

Spike obeyed the principal's order, and took a seat before her desk, "Now, I'm sure you're wondering why I called you here."

"Whatever it is, I didn't do it!" Spike announced, much to the principal's surprise at his reaction, "Sorry, that slipped out."

"Spike, you're not in any trouble." she assured him.

"I'm not?"

"Not at all," Spike felt relieved to hear that, but was still curious as to what she wanted with him, "As you know the end of the semester is about a month away, and when that happens, my sister and I will ultimately decide if the academy can be permanently co-ed. Which is why I've decided to give you a personal assignment to work on."

"An assignment?"

"That's right. I want you to write for me a report about your experiences here in Canterlot Academy. Be it both during or after school hours. And feel free to write down anything about some of the students you've befriended here. Every little bit helps with our decision."

"Well, ok. How long are you giving me this to work on?" Spike inquired.

"At least until before school lets out."

"I understand. Ok, Principal Celestia, I'll be sure to do this assignment."

"Good. Is there anything else you need, Spike?"

"Not at all."

"All right, then. Off you go." she dismissed him.

"Good day, ma'am." he said, before getting up and left the office.

Spike walked through the halls back to class, "A report on my time at the school, huh? Well, I sure have a lot to write about that's for sure. Although there probably a lot of things I shouldn't bring up in my report," he remembered the times he got lucky with some of the girls, or even the times Trixie and Rarity each snuck into his room, "If I mentioned that it'd be an automatic failure." he chuckled to himself. He returned to class, and continued to catch up on the notes he missed, until the class was dismissed.

As he walked out of the room, the Rainbooms and Trixie gathered around him in concern, "Spike, are you ok?" Twilight asked.

"You're not in trouble are you?" Pinkie asked.

"Please tell me you're not getting punished." Fluttershy pleaded.

"Girls, please," Spike calmed them, "I'm not in trouble. Principal Celestia called me to her office, because she has an assignment for me to do."

"An assignment?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah. She wants me to write about my time here at the school. Like an end of the year report."

"Oh, is that all?" Twilight asked in relief.

"Why would she want you to do that?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, duh," Pinkie began, "By the end of the semester Spike will have spent a whole school year with us."

"And I'm sure the principal would want to hear what he thinks of the school." Twilight added.

"Well, you got a point." Rainbow admitted.

"That's why when I get back to the dorms I'm gonna need to get started, because I have a lot of stuff to write."

"What kind of stuff are ya gonna write?" Rainbow leaned in.

"Mostly all the good things that happened to me here, and let's leave it at that. I don't want anyone to bribe me into boasting about them for their sake." Spike said, as he stepped away from her.

"How long does it have to be?" Fluttershy asked.

"She didn't specify how long. Probably long enough to cover all my major final thoughts."

"I guess with an assignment like that you won't be able to hang out today, huh?" Pinkie asked dismally.

"Maybe, maybe not. She said it's not due till at least the end of the semester. So I can get what I can done for today, and join up with you all later."

"It's a deal." Twilight said, as the group headed for their next class.

At the end of the day, Spike returned to the dormitory, and got right to work. He was sitting at his desk typing up his report on his laptop, while on the left side of his desk he had a soda and a big bag of chips to serve as a snack. Spike was typing away knowing exactly what to write in his report.



It's strange having to have been picked to be part of a co-ed experiment at an all girls school. All my life I didn't think I would be special enough to have been picked for something important as this. When I first arrived I felt like a fish out of water. Being around so many girls made me feel both awkward and lucky. Back in junior high I was afraid to even talk to a girl, but when I started attending the academy I knew my social skills with girls would have to improve otherwise I'd be doomed. First day of school, I considered myself lucky, because I met a group of girls who showed me around the school and made me feel at home. And they would go on to be some of my best friends. Twilight Sparkle has become a good friend I can go to and help out with.



As Spike typed his experiences with Twilight, he flashed back to a time earlier in the year where Spike was helping Twilight re-shelf some library books. Twilight climbed up the ladder holding some books. Spike was below and spoke, "Are you sure you don't want me to stock those one?"

"Don't worry, Spike. I got this." Twilight assured, as she started shelving the books.

When Spike looked up he got a face full of her lavender colored panties under her skirt. Spike's nose bled a little, but he quickly wiped it and looked away, 'Oh, man, now that was a killer sight to behold.' he thought.

As Twilight tried shelving one last book, she tried stretching out to put it in only to lose balance, "Whoa. Whoa! Spike!" she cried, as she lost balance, and fell from the ladder.

"Twilight!" Spike cried, as he opened his arms out and caught her, only for him to fall to the floor as well.

Spike laid flat on his back, while Twilight laid on top crossing his torso. She turned her head to look at Spike and spoke, "Thanks for catching me."

"Don't mention it." Spike smiled, as Twilight got off him, and the two continued to sit on the floor.

"I'm really glad you decided to help me out here, Spike."

"Me too. If I didn't you would've cracked your head open if I wasn't here to catch you." he smiled.

Twilight chuckled, "Yeah, you're right." the two laughed together.

Spike's flashback of Twilight ended, as he continued to type up his report on the other girls.



Applejack's shown to be an honest girl willing to point out faults in someone when no one else would. I respect that in a friend. And to top it off she's an excellent cook. But I guess growing up on a farm you learn a lot about hard work.



Spike then recalled a time when he and Applejack were in the cafeteria's kitchen, trying out some of the apple products that were to be on the lunch menu. Applejack took a piece of an apple pie, and offered it to Spike.

"Here ya go, Spike. Try some of this."

"Ok." Spike said, as he opened his mouth and Applejack fed him the piece.

"Whatcha think?"

"Delicious! It's like I've never tasted apples before."

"Thank ya, Spike. I always appreciate the honesty ya give about my family produce."

"If I can't be honest with you of all people, Applejack, then I'm ashamed to call myself your friend.' Spike answered.

Applejack smiled at Spike, and spoke, "Well, how about ya feed me a piece?"

"Ok." Spike said as he took a piece of the apple pie and fed Applejack.

Applejack at the piece and smiled at Spike, who smiled back at her. They continued to try more of the produce happily.



Rainbow Dash has been a loyal friend to me and the girls. Plus I love hanging out with her and doing sports. Although she can be a bit of a sore loser sometimes, it's because she had her pride. Which I do respect. But pride will never stop her from being there for someone who needs her the most.



Spike remembered one day while the gymnasium was unoccupied, he and Rainbow Dash were doing a little one on one in basketball. Rainbow was maneuvering around Spike, while dribbling the ball.

"Come on, Spike, let's see what ya got."

"You want it you got it." Spike replied, as he blocked Rainbow.

Rainbow managed to fake him out and made a shot that landed in the basket, "Oh, yeah!"

"Awesome job, Rainbow." Spike said.

"That's just how I am." she boasted.

"I'll say. Though I'm surprised you asked me to do this with you. Why not ask one of the other girls like Applejack, Sunset, and Lightning Dust?"

"Applejack and Sunset aren't a challenge as much, and Lightning Dust plays dirty. Besides, I like spending time with you, Spike."

"You do?" he asked curiously.

Rainbow nodded, "You're a cool guy. A lot cooler than some other boys I've known growing up. Especially since you don't think because I'm a girl I shouldn't like stuff like sports."

"Who's to decide what we're meant to like and not like?"

"Exactly. So come on, let's do a little more rounds." she tossed him the ball.

"Game on." Spike said, as they continued to have fun.



Among the group I can always tell it's gonna be fun whenever Pinkie Pie is involved. Honestly I don't think I've ever gone to or been invited to a better party than hers. Every time I'm around her I always feel these positive vibes from her that make me feel like I have nothing to be sad or angry about.



Spike recalled one of Pinkie's random parties, where the guests were dancing to some lively swinging beats. Pinkie and Spike were tearing up the dance floor like two happening cats.

"Oh, yeah, Spike. That's how ya dance!" Pinkie cheered, as she shook her booty.

"Pinkie, if I dance my feet off I want you to carry me back to the dorms."

"It's a Pinkie promise. Now come on, let's crank up the volume!" she cheered, as they continued to party hard.



Rarity is one of the most beautiful if not generous girls I've ever known. Most people who see a girl who's all classy and fancy assume they're vain and self absorbed. But not Rarity. She may have beauty and class, but that doesn't stop her from sticking her neck out to help others in anything, as long as it's not too dirty.



Spike thought back recalling a day when Spike was modeling some new boys school uniforms for Rarity. Spike stepped out from behind a screen showing off Rarity's design, and she clapped.

"Wonderful, Spike. You look absolutely handsome, as will the other boy students should this experiment work." Rarity said.

"I'm surprised you're already working on designs now before the principals even passed down the final verdict."

"Always best to be prepared for any possibility." Rarity answered.

"Good point. Although how many more do I have to try on? Nothing personal, but I feel like a Ken doll with trying on all these uniforms." Spike voiced his discomfort.

"Don't worry, Spike. Only four more designs to try on. And afterward I'm going to treat you to lunch. How does that sound?" she asked with a bat of her eyes.

Spike smiled, "Good deal. Well, bring on the next one." Rarity handed him the next uniform, and he went to go try it on.



My friend Fluttershy may have started off shy around me at first, but after getting to know each other she's shown to be really sweet, even to a guy like me. I remember one weekend we went on a hike in the forest outside the academy grounds, where she showed me all the beauty of nature and it's creatures.



Spike recalled that weekend, as he and Fluttershy were walking through the forest trail, while taking in nature. Fluttershy smiled, "Isn't nature wonderful, Spike?" she asked.

"It sure is something, I'll say that." he admitted.

"All of mother natures works displayed in a petri dish full of life." Fluttershy said as she did a little twirl to express her joy.

Spike smiled seeing how much fun Fluttershy was having, as she continued down the trail and gasped, "Spike, come over here!" Spike went over to see what was up.

"What is it?"

"Look." Fluttershy said, as they saw a creek with a waterfall and a rainbow shining off the water.

"Whoa." Spike gasped.

"Isn't it beautiful?" she asked.

"It sure is." Spike said, having never seen anything so amazing before.

"Why don't we rest here for a bit?" the girl suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Spike agreed.

Soon Spike was sitting at the edge of a rock dipping his bare feet in the creek. Spike sighed at how refreshing the water felt on his feet. Suddenly he felt something placed on top of his head. He looked at his reflection in the water and saw he was wearing a crown of flowers.

"Hey!" he playfully chuckled.

Fluttershy who was behind him giggled, "I think it looks cute on you, Spike." she took a seat beside him.

"Thanks, but in all honestly, they're much more suited for someone like you, Fluttershy." Spike said, as he removed the crown of flowers from his head and placed them on Fluttershy's head.

Fluttershy smiled as she saw her reflection in the water. The two sat together watching the water flow into the creek. Fluttershy ended up leaning closer into Spike, as he did as well. They looked up and saw a swarm of butterflies flying around coloring the sky with their exotic colors.



Vinyl Scratch is one of the coolest girls I got to know at the academy. When it comes to music she is the master at it. All the remixes and dubsteps she's composed could make for a lot of money. If I were to ever host a party myself I'd hire her to be my D.J without a second thought.



Spike recalled a time when he and Vinyl were at the mall checking out some new music. They were listening to some samples, as Vinyl spoke up, "Oh, yes this is my jam."

"It's got a beat I can groove to." Spike said, as he waved a finger to the rhythm.

"I'm gonna need some more inspiration for the mixes I'm working to make for our annual end of the year dance." Vinyl said.

"I'm sure whatever music you make, Vinyl, it'll be a hit."

"Thanks, Spike. I really appreciate it when others respect my music."

"Who wouldn't respect it?"

"Critical people who think they've heard better when clearly they have no taste." she answered.

"Well, if anyone tells you your music isn't all that cracked up to be, then they are just deaf."

"Thanks, Spike. Hey, how'd ya like to hear some of my mix ideas back at the dorm?" she offered.

"I'd like that." he answered, and the two smiled.



Sunset Shimmer when I was first introduced to her seemed more nervous about getting to know me than I was at getting to know about the school. I found out she wasn't exactly what you'd call a caring soul long before I knew her. She told me about how much of a Queen Bee and manipulative she-demon as she described herself back then. She says she's regretful of the way she was back then and told me she's been trying really hard to earn the friendship and trust from all the girls whom she's hurt. And I see her now as a very good friend to all. I just can't see how a girl as wonderful as her could've ever started out as such a nasty person.



Spike remembered one day he and Sunset were on a date in the city and were having a great time. They were at a cafe having a drink.

"This has been really fun, hasn't it?" Spike asked.

"This has been about the best fun I've had in a long time, Spike. I never thought I'd actually be on a date with someone I wasn't try to break the spirit of," She realized she was thinking about the past, "Sorry, I know I said I've moved on from the past but..."

"It's ok. The past isn't something you can easily move on from. But remember you are who you are now. And as long as you have friends like me and the others, then you are a different person." Spike told her seriously, while reaching out and took her hands within his own.

Sunset blushed at how passionate he was with his words, and how he held her hands to give her renewed hope. She smiled, and answered, "Thank you, Spike. I'm lucky to have a guy like you for a friend."

"I'll always be your friend no matter what." Spike promised, as the two continued to enjoy their date.



And there's Trixie Lulamoon. At first I heard from others she was self absorbed and full of herself thinking she can do anything. And you know what? It was all true. But I found out deep down she's not so bad as others say. She just doesn't know how to be more humble and considerate. When I started hanging out with her she started behaving less and less like a self proclaimed master of just about everything.



Spike remembered about a month ago, he was watching Trixie do a fireworks display one night outside the dorms. Spike sat, as Trixie lit up some sparklers and fireworks that shot off giving a bright and colorful display of glowing colors.

Spike applauded, as Trixie asked, "You really liked that, Spike?"

"I loved it. Aside from magic, you're great with pyrotechnics and fireworks, Trixie."

"Thanks. I try my best. And just wait until fourth of July, I'm gonna have the biggest fireworks display you can ever imagine."

"Really?"

"Oh, yes. And I'm bringing out all the big time stuff."

"Are they illegal?" Spike inquired.

"Uh-huh."

Spike smirked, "Perfect."

"Aside from that, I'm glad you wanted to see this display, Spike."

"Hey, don't worry. You're learning. Keep at it and the rest of the girls will warm up to you." he patted her back.

Trixie smiled at him, "Thank you so much." she embraced him, and he returned the gesture.

Spike smiled as he finished typing up the memory for his report, and realized he already cleared five pages worth of memories.

"Wow. I think I got a big enough head start on my report. But still I have so much more I want to say. Well it's not due until the end of the semester, so I can wait a bit more and come up with more I can add to it," he saved the file and checked the time to see it was only six o'clock, "Still early, maybe I can join the girls after all." he texted Twilight to let her know he was free, and was prepared to head over to her dorm to meet up.

He thought to himself, 'Everyone here's made my stay at Canterlot Academy eventful. And I'll let the principal know that.'
