Spike looked up to the blue dragon very curious having never met him before. “Man you’ve really ticked Twilight off. What did you do?”
Bolt dropped onto all fours still snickering this time as Twilight’s nerd rage. “Oh nothing she’s just too uptight sometimes. “ After collecting his wits he raised one eyebrow poking at Spike’s belly. “Why are you wearing that?”
Spike looked down to his belly and pointed towards his apron. “Ohh I dunno It’s nice I guess. Keeps my scales clean while cooking. It’s a little dorky but Rarity made it for me so I’m kind of attached to it.”
Bolt’s gaze was one of annoyance as he ran his claws down his face; he hated seeing one of his own kind in Spike’s state. He ripped the apron off Spike while avoiding damaging it then tossing it inside the library through a window. “What is wrong with you?” He asked scratching his head as his raspy voice rung.
Spike looked up opening one eye wide himself. “Just what are you getting at?”
“THE PINK! THE SISSY CAKES! Dude you act like a pony.” Bolt told the toddler the disgust in his tone clear.
Spike crossed his arms and said. “Oh I get it you’re one of those Jerky dragons also there’s nothing wrong with being a pony.”
“Ahh yes there is. We are fire-breathing monsters. You have so much untapped primal power that Twilight should be serving you.”
“What? So you’re the kind to just crack open a phoenix because you’re powerful?”
“No…I’d never harm an egg. There’s no honor in harming an innocent egg.” Bolt said his tone becoming somber as he thought back to his days as a hatchling.
Surprised Spike gave a smile looking up to Bolt. “In that case then you must be alright. I mean if you’re friends with Twilight you can’t be all bad.”
Bolt took a deep breath casting off the memories and getting into a more positive mood. “That’s the sprit Spike.” He said picking up the baby rubbing his knuckles into his spikes. “So where to first Bolt inquired.
Spike struggled kicking his feet as he closed one eye. “How about I go introduce you to Rarity.” He asked Bolt after finally squirming free.
Bolt and Spike had arrived at the Carousel Boutique; it was a large elaborately decorated hybrid shop and home. The house was painted in bright pastel colors with gold rims around the circular roof, the entire place had a carousel theme fitting it’s name, it displayed wire pony mannequins held up by twirling bars. Bolt pushed the door open entering with Spike following behind him. They were met with the sight of two Ponies upon entering. One was the regal Rarity a white unicorn mare with a lovely purple mane that was perfectly curled towards the ends giving her a classical beauty look. The other was a earth pony stallion wearing a blue suit. He had a slicked back mane and was quite well built. A Small bell chimed that let Rarity know she had new customers to tend to.
“Excuse me for but a moment.” Rarity’s posh voice rang while she politely excused herself. Upon spying Spike Rarity’s eyes lit up when presenting him with a blue Sapphire. “Spikey it’s so good to see you. Whose you’re friend?” She asked.
Spike smiled his little claws tightly gripping the granted gemstone. He looked up to the white unicorn he admired and blushed. “This is Bolt. Twilight told me to show him around tow….”
Spike was cut off as the customer in back was becoming disgruntled shouting. “MISS!....MISS!”
Rarity’s smile faded as she feigned her next one chirping back. “I’ll be right with you Sir.” She trotted over to help him out.
With Bolt and Spike left to their own devices the blue dragon looked down as Spike opened his mouth to shove the gem down his gullet. “You gunna share that?” Bolt asked.
Spike stopped giving a nervous laugh placing the sapphire in Bolt’s claws. Bolt broke the gem in two dropping the smaller half in spikes hands. Spike and Bolt went to town gnawing on their favorite food while Rarity conversed with the customer. “So this is a dress shop huh? The frocks here aren’t bad but how dose she stay in business? We all run around naked.” Bolt said wondering aloud with his weird statement.
“Got me?” Spike replies sucking on the sapphire having no clue either.
The stallion started to make advances on Rarity as he grabbed her leg trying to pull her closer. “Come on baby, I’ll show you just how well versed I am.” He said with a scummy smile.
Rarity gasped with shock her tone very authoritative making clear his advances were unwanted. “Sir that’s hardly appropriate.” She informed as the stallion begun rubbing her backside. “UNHAND ME NOW YOU RUFFIAN!” She shouted trying to pull away. Overhearing Spike ran to Rarity’s aide grabbing into the earth pony’s hoof.
“Let her go you slime.” Spike said trying to pry him off Rarity. Spike’s efforts were in vein as he was easily bucked off hitting the wall.
The stallion seeming proud of having overpowered a hatchling gloated. “Ha! Dragons pathetic the lot of them, the stupid reptiles only thing they are good for is being turned into a pair of boots. Now where were we?” He said puckering up his lips attempting to pull Rarity closer.
Bolt dropped the gem slamming his fist down shattering the solid gemstone. Smoke started to fume from his nostrils as he narrowed his eyes to a deadly glare. It seems the stallion’s statement had gotten under Bolt’s scales. Bolt lowered his body to the ground while static electricity stated to surge around his body. He took off in a flash moving so fast nobody could see nor predict what the dragon was doing. A few moments later the snapping of sinew created a symphony of screams. Soon the door to the boutique busted open as Bolt dropped the bloody and beaten stallion on Rarity’s welcome mat. The earth pony lay writing in pain with his legs bent the wrong way and snapped bones poking out of his joints. Bolt smiled and wound up his leg delivering a kick sending the stallion high into the atmosphere. Now with a smug smile he zipped over to Rarity zipping around her placing her back upon her feet. He closed one eye and made a square with his fingers looking through it. Seeing Rarity’s mane was a mess Bolt used his super speed and ran around her creating a storm of blue. When he came to a stop her hair was perfectly in place once again. Bolt sat and gestured for Spike to come over.
