Alex clicked the top of his iPod, checking the battery life from his seat in at Dash’s new desk.
He had just charged it this morning, but it was already dying. He hated batteries!
“I might have to go get a new one,” Alex mumbled, turning the device over and idly and reading the back, “It has been three years. I’ll bet there are like, a million new ones to choose from.”
“I thought time moved differently between worlds,” Dash said, walking out of the bathroom, her hair wrapped in a towel, “Wouldn’t it only have been like, one year to your world?”
“Oh yeah!” Alex said, having completely forgotten that fact, “Well, I still think my uncle is gonna kill me.”
“What did you say to him before you left?” Dash asked, since Alex hadn’t had any real chance to mention it till now.
“Well, nothing really,” Alex shrugged, wincing at the thought of his confused, and probably sad uncle, “I told him you and I were going on a quick trip, and that we’d be back in a few days.”
“But… then you got turned to stone.” Dash pointed out.
“Exactly,” Alex nodded, itching his nose, “Maybe I should just never go back…”
“And let him think you died or something?” Dash laughed, before realizing that he was serious, “You’re joking, right?”
“Well, I don’t know!” Alex sighed, resting his face on his hoof, “Do you really think he’ll be sad if I never go home again?”
“Of course he will be, you idiot!” Dash chastised, shaking her head firmly at him, “You promised him that you’d finish school, but instead, you never come home again!”
Alex sighed, nodding.
“Look, next time we see the Doctor, we’ll ask him to take the two of us back, okay?” Dash said, giving him a serious look.
“Yeah, I guess… Worst thing he can do is hit me in the face or something,” Alex shrugged, deciding against hiding away in Equestria for the rest of his life, “I wonder when I’ll see the Doctor again.”
“He pops in every now and then,” Dash said, thinking back to his last visit, and all the confusion with those metal ponies, “We’ll see him soon.”
“I hope so!” Alex said suddenly realizing something very important, “I left my Xbox in his TARDIS!”
“That game I played when I was in your world?” Dash asked, scratching her head.
“Well, I brought it back so we could have some fun with it,” Alex said, recalling how fast he had packed it before returning to Equestria, “Give us a little more to do together, you know?”
“We have plenty to do now,” Dash said, trying to think of all that had changed in the past three years, “Ponyville is getting some new stuff put in, like mall, and new movie theater.”
“I have no idea how modernization works in Equestria,” Alex admitted, lost at how some things were extremely advanced, like the changelings, while some ponies here lived without any electronics in their houses.
“Ponyville is just quiet, I guess,” Dash shrugged, “Places like Manehattan have a lot more than us here.”
“You should see some of the things in my world,” Alex reminisced, missing so much, “Planes, computers beyond anything here, internet… Porn.”
“Internet? What’s that? And how does it… porn?” Dash laughed, lost to the internet, “Are the Playcolt magazines here not enough for you?”
“Nope.” Alex shook his head, “They will never be enough.”
Dash had no clue what he was on about, but was intrigued none the less.
“Well, show me next time we’re there.” She said, walking up behind him and wrapping her arms around his neck, “Let’s go out for dinner! Take me somewhere fancy.”
“I’ll take you on the bed if you like,” Alex suggested, promptly getting hit in the back of the head, “Okay okay… What is there around here now?”
“Nothing new,” Dash laughed, “So, why not make me something to eat?”
“Pasta?” Alex suggested.
“You know me too well, honey boo.” Dash said, being overly affectionate for a moment, as she kissed his cheek a few times, “Well, wake me when it’s ready!”
Dash didn’t give him a chance to respond, before she dove on to the couch, and pretended to be asleep.
“You’re lucky I like you so much,” Alex said, ever so begrudgingly, “Otherwise I’d find somepony else!”
“Yeah? Good luck with that!” Dash snorted, her eyes still closed, “Nopony else would put up with you!”
Alex was about to argue with her, tell her how wonderful he was, and just how wrong she was… But then he realized that she was completely right.
“Well, I’d argue, but I’m too lazy,” Alex gave up, “I’ll start on dinner.”
“Good boy.” Dash mumbled.
It was nice having somepony so whipped.

The day had passed, and the night had long since set in.
Rarity was in bed with Spike, but had a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. The last few days hadn’t been good days for her to sleep. She would always wake up in a cold sweat, her heart pounding, and sometimes even in tears.
That dream kept coming back to her, over and over again… What did it mean?
Her daily life had been greatly affected by the lack of sleep she was getting, and she had been relying on Spike to keep up with things for her. Which, he diligently did, just for her.
Rarity placed a hoof on his sleeping chest and wondered how she ever got such a great coltfriend.
He was always so considerate and always so kind to her… Treating her like a princess, by waiting on her hoof and hoof.
If she told him to jump off a bridge, because it would stop her from crying, he would jump off five times.
He was the stallion she was going to marry.
Feeling her heart flutter at the thought, she imagined what was next for the two of them.
A big fancy wedding?
Foals?
Getting wrinkly together?
She wanted nothing more than those things.
To see him wearing a tuxedo, standing at the end of the isle, with Alex on one side, and all of her friends on the other… Sweetie Belle and her friends decorating the floor with flower petals, while giggling at some inside joke between them, she was sure.
She would stare into his eyes, while he said his vows, and pledged his eternal devotion to her.
And he would do the same, and she promised to stay beside him in sickness and health.
Her heart could barely stand it. She wanted these things to happen right now, even if it meant getting out of bed at one in the morning!
Quietly, Spike let out a small moan, something from his dream, she was sure. It must have been a good dream too, considering the size of the smile on his face.
Thinking for a second, Rarity decided that maybe she didn’t need to be married right now. Maybe all the joy in her life could be experienced right here, next to this sleeping colt.
Leaning toward his face, she gave him a soft kiss on his sleeping, unreciprocating lips, before pulling back just an inch, and resting her head next to his, their horns crossing with one another.
“I love you so much, Spike,” She whispered, closing her eyes and relaxing.
“I’ve never been- so… Happy…” Spike mumbled in his sleep.
Rarity wasn’t sure if he was referring to this moment between them, or the dream he was having… But she liked to think that he was answering her in his sleep. It was so much more romantic that way.
But, had she known the dream he was having, she would have been even happier.

“Oh Spike, of course I’ll marry you!” Rarity answered, jumping up and throwing her arms around him, “Mmm, I love you!”
“I love you too, Rarity,” He said, as she jumped down from their hug, “I hope we spend the rest of our lives together.”
“You needn’t worry about that, Spike,” Rarity winked, “I’d never spend a moment away from the most handsome, strong, musically inclined, muscular, sexy, handsome, funny, sweet, caring, handsome, and musically inclined pony I’ve ever met!”
“Well,” Spike said, now wearing sunglasses and a leather coat, “I do what I can, baby.”
Rarity broke out in to a fit of giggles, as Spike levitated the lollipop out of his mouth, stood Rarity up on her hind legs, and dipped her backward into the most romantic kiss she had ever experienced.
The crowds of mares around them were clearly jealous as well.
“Aww! How cute!”
“I wish he was my boyfriend!”
“I wish Alex was that cool, and musically inclined as you!”

What a dream it was.
You crack that whip Dash!
Spikes dream...... It's good to know that there's things he'll never grow out of.....
Well, that was nice. I wonder though, is Rarity pregnant or is greed trying to manifest in her heart.
that dream dude. so hilarious.
4067426 Yup yup. (bad Pixiemon imitation)
I bet Spike has read every book on everything Rarity could ever want him to do, and as he is now older, quite a few more she is probably too shy, currently, to even consider asking him.
Spike, the perfect gentlemale. Cute, unassuming, prepared for anything, and when required, able to out Jock the best of them.
well good to know that Spike thinks such highly of Alex
wat
Shit storm inbound.

4069240 Who's ling?
I enjoy reading these fluff chapters
4069273 The second greed from fullmetal alchemist.
Metal Ponies? Like Cybermen?
4070202
I figure that's what dash would have called them, if she didn't know the name Cyber pony.
Okay, that makes sense. Still what happened? At first you had a fast paced action/adventure thing happening and now you kinda just stopped and went reality t.v. normal life. Why?
4070287 The calm before the storm...
4071442
There's an open 20,000 word document on my computer right now that agrees with you.
Just, happy. No shitstorm, just the characters riding the wave of success. I can't wait 'till that wave hits the rocks.
These chapters have been good filler, I'm almost gonna be sad when things go to shit...almost.
Irony
