//------------------------------// // What Did I Do Now? // Story: What Did I Do Now? // by Hillbe //------------------------------// What Did I Do Now? "Well that sure didn't go the way I thought it would" Spike muttered under his breath his shoulders slumped down his claws dragging across the varnished wood as he exited across the threshhold of the Carousel Boutique, leaving the door ajar he could hear Rarity crying. He replayed the event in his mind over and over again with each scene was another comment after the dragons accidental sneeze . "Great going Casanova way to impress a lady, Torching all her stuff" Spikey lamented as Rarity bawled "Spike! I can't believe . . . HOW COULD YOU!" "All this week for nothing" he muttered as Rarity continued "What where you thinking?" "I'll never get another chance" Spike grumbled sadly as her flood gates opened "Whaaaaaaaaaaaa" "Way to lover boy" could his luck get any worse?. "Just Go Spike just go". "I'm so stupid". Her bawling continued "Waaaaa Waaaaaaaa Waaaaa" His journey continued unopposed passing ponies shopping, laughing and carrying on as usual on a wonderful sunny day. Spikes mood like a black cloud hovered over him following him where ever he went. . . wait on second thought it was a cloud. His mood was so soured that with every breath he puffed out came a small bit of sulfurous smoke, He was not a happy horny dragon at all. ----------------------------------------------------------- "Hi Spike" Sweetie Belle waved and called to the despondent drake but he continued on his trek his head hung low. "Spike?" "Hello" Sweetie saw what she need to do and galloped off to get her big sister "Rarity will know what to do!" Spike paused in front of the crystal castle of doom its crystal blue color was cold its massive ramparts devoid of warmth, devoid of Princess Twilight and her staff , The whole crew in training in Canterlot till next week, His home totally vacant, perfect. He blew a raspberry as he closed the door its echo continued mocking him as his claws tic tacked across the floors. _______________,,,_,,,____,,_,,_____________,,,__,,,_,,_,,_________________ Some of his anger was spent on the walk back home, A now a giant empty home with only a kitchen and an ice box with a freezer stocked with ice cream - vanilla oat swirl flavored ice cream her favorite! Hers! His lonely void became worse. He grabbed the carton, dragged out his spoon (A weapon of fat destruction) and moped to the bathroom. He grabbed the knobs and turned them hard left for maximum hot. That mare's going to drive me crazy! After adding the bubble bath and a hint of soap he laid out scented candles after all if you want to wallow in self pity why not wallow in classy fru fru pony pity. 'Tease tease tease ! That crazy mare's driving me to the nut house'. He slipped into the suds and wallowed with his ice cream one spoonful at a time. Sadly it didn't last long. His third spoonful dribbled , He glanced into the carton at his now vanilla oat swirl soup. It was way less appetizing than the frozen treat of before. Spikes frustration hit an all time high, Twilight gone, His favorite plushy mane-less and tailless, The Crusaders monkey business, Rarity on the rag all week and finally sending him away - now this ice cream soup, Not a milk shake not ice cream just a sugary soup! Spike let out a sorrowful moan. Lit the candles with a gout of flame and descended into the sudsy water. Smoky bubbles filled the air marking his last known position in that titanic tub going down by the bow. Life as he knew it sucked. And sucked big time. OoooooooOoOoooOooooooooOOoO Crusaders Headquarters Six Months before Spikes ejection 11:31 Hours Zulu " I'm bored" Scootaloo looked at her flank "So much for these stupid cutie marks". "Well we can help other ponies with their problems" Sweetie Belle squeaked "But it has to be a real good problem". "But all the ponies we helped so far dun told us they didn't need our help" Apple Bloom said "And helpin AJ with Animal husbandry doesn't count". Scootaloo looked at Apple Bloom with wide eyes "You're marrying animals on your farm?" "No silly it's breeding livestock, pigs and cows and Scootaloos !" The Apple farmer said factually as Scoots beamed her a stink eye. "Some Griffin companies need the meat. Ya all know that not all of Equestria are just ponies besides bacon rules! Ever have bacon pan cakes in the mornings? They're Yummy". "Scootaloo gaged "That so gross! Not the pancakes,I mean all that livestock and stuff bumping uglies allover your farm all the time". "No it's not. it's animal management getting them together in family groups and having timely breeding for a bigger yield in product". "So it's about making families?" Sweetie thought out loud "With out the waste of time? An instant family!" "As far as I can figure" Apple Bloom said "Yep, AJ even has all sorts of books on the subject". Sweeties hooves clopped excitedly "Oh oh I got a great idea, We can help Spike and my big sister with that husbandry stuff!" "I thought they liked each other already?" Scootaloo blanched "How's this book stuff going to help?" "My sister's Miss Prissy most of the time and every season she used to go cray cray about stallions. But now on season days she buries herself in her dress work all locked up in her shop" Sweetie smiled a sly smirk "Without her precious scales". "So what's that got to do about Spike?" Scoots quizzed her. "Spikes too shy to ask her out on a date and Miss Prissy is too much of a lady to go asking him first" Sweetie said "Wasting lots of time". "Ya all's got to be kidding me. . ." ......./)>q,p<(\....... 00:27 hours after Spikes ejection , Carousel Boutique Sweetie Belle scampered into the boutique. A sobbing Rarity on her haunches center stage. She sized up the situation. A crying sister one. A crying Spike two. 'Page twenty seven item three, A shy male might frustrate a ready female to the point of it's lashing out in anger'. "Sis, are you OK?" Sweetie quietly asked "What happened with Spike?" "Oh Sweetie you wouldn't understand!" Rarity bleated "It's just , just ,I've been a total nag this week I don't know why, I . . .I". 'Page twenty seven item four' Sweetie thought quickly 'Reintroduce female in a more relaxed environment away from any stress. "You really hurt Spikes feelings I think he might do something really dumb in that stupid castle of Twilights". "Spike! Hurt in Twilights castle?" Raritys confused state was made worse from the heat of the season. Her mind full of fire as well as other pieces of her anatomy "Sweetie watch the shop I have a dragon to take care of!" In a cloud of dust and ash Rarity galloped through the door of the boutique shattering glass and wood into fine shards of debris. All that Sweetie could hear and see was her sisters war face "Precious Scales I'm Coming!" Sweetie Belle couldn't think as her jaw dropped 'What did I do now?' Trotting after her bigger sister she rejoined her friends. "I told ya all this husbandry stuff would get us into trouble ya got Spike and Rarity fighting, Did ya have to change her calendar too?" Sweetie gasped as she ran "I didn't think it would work if she locked herself away from him". "Got a point there" Scootaloo spat out. OoooooooOOOnOOOoo0ooooOOOoooooOOOoooooO Rarity galloped wildly through the castle looking for her Precious her mind raced thinking dark dark thoughts. "I was too harsh with my Spikey Wikey , Oh If he does anything rash I'll never forgive myself!" She saw his mane-less tailless plushy on the crystal map a tribute to her treatment of her drake "Oh poor Spikey!" Her tears began to flow, an empty feeling grew as she continued searching "Oh Spikey don't end yourself for my petty failings". Her ears picked up water splashing to her right, she bolted through the entry of the bath her eyes focused on the tub. In the suds filled water she saw smoky bubbles raising from the surface floating up overhead popping in rings on the ceiling. "NO! Spikey! Don't drown on my account!" She leapt into the frothy tub splashing and crashing into her dragon. Her full weight came to bare on the drake. Spike thought 'What did I do no. .' "Oomph!" Rarity clutched the drake to her chest raising him tight against her body even her lady bits clutched tightly keeping him out of the water. She put her muzzle around his snout blowing life into his lungs and stiffness into his tail. Spike was in total shock! First he was resting in the tub wallowing in his funk trying to relieve some sexual frustration doing a back stroke and on the next stroke the cause of his funk was lip locked tucked around and snuggling his entire body. From his soft snout to his stiff tail , Spike went into total dragon over load and became putty in her hooves or was he? "Spikey darling speak to me please , Oh Precious Scales I'm sorry those dresses can be redone Please Spikey speak to me!" "Oh Rarity..." Spikes eyes went wide his little claws grabbed her pelt like Velcro his tail wraping around her rear curls. Rarity gently moved Spike and found her lady bits stuck fast under the water "Oh dear Spike your tail must be...." She let out a breath "What have I done now?" Every movement sent a wave of bubbles and relief from her burning desire. "Sorry my precious" she continued rocking her hips trying to get free from her anchor moving faster and faster her grip became tighter and her body shivered and shook in the warm water as her mind raced 'Oh Spikey I'm I'm OH!' Spike slowly matched her motions rocking and thrusting in time to her desires changing tempo like a violins bow. Her body on auto pilot she grunted and thrust against Spike a hot feeling exploded in her as she realized she wasn't a solo act . 'I'm so loving this I can't stop!' Spike took it up a few notches as his tounge found her nipples. Raritys eyes popped open thinking Where did her learn this? Her train of thought was derailed stopped by kiss from dragons lips. She looked down at a set of sparkling emerald eyes. "You must be asking yourself, How does sweet little Spikey Wikey know what you like". "I was wondering about that". Rarity moaned between bumps and grinds. "Who did you think does all the returns to Twilights library". "So you checked in all my romance novels". "Well duh" he squeaked his ear fins sagging "Even the erotica stuff from the blue section" She thought for a minute looking down at her situation let out her breath "What did I do?She sighed. "Spikey when we are through here we shall never speak of this again do you understand?" Spike was thrown for a loop. His dream became a nightmare. "But Rarity I. . .I...". "Spike! It's rude to interrupt a lady first and second a gentledrake needs to finish what he started. . .!" "But?" "No buts I am a lady and being a lady there's a proper way to court your future mare!" "Yes?" "When does Twilight get back?" "In three days" "Well then we shall return to the boutique after you will finish what you started here. after I'll treat you to a healthy dinner and we find a way to break the news to Twilight in a more discrete manor". "Ah Rarity?" "Yes Spikey". "Does this mean we're a couple?" "Of course darling you deserve the best". She nuzzled him softly "My only love". They finished what they started and strolled hoof and claw back to her boutique passing through the crowds of unknown back ground ponies giving a very happy greetingto each and everyone. Pinkie gasped zipping off in a cloud of pink yelling "They did it - Spike and Rarity doodided it!" Apple Jack tending her apple stand looked at the couples glow "Wait till Rainbow hears this, She'll bust a nut". "Eeyep and lose that wager ya had too" smirked Big Mac. Apple Bloom shook her head looking at the two "Ya all's got to be kidding me! Ah Scoots are they doing what I see there doing?" "We're too late Twilight's going to kill us or banish us to where ever after we knocked Spike up with your sister" Scootaloo cried Oh gag me are they kissing?" "Twilight's right it's all in books!" Sweetie giggled "She was right all along".
