Tales of Love Three

by Mister Phoenix

Dream Lover: (Little Strongheart x Spike)

Spike is unlucky in the love game. The male dragon couldn't find the right girl for him, but he wanted to find that special someone. The one that would make his heart start to flutter and make him want to do anything to see that special someone smile that lovely smile. Little to say, his friends were annoyed by Spike's shyness, whenever the male dragon wanted to talk to a girl, he would quickly back away.

Rainbow Dash was the one pushing him the most, trying to beat the shyness that Spike had talking to all girls besides his friends. Well, the pegasus was second to the most meddling pony Spike knew: The Princess of the Night herself. Luna. Meddling Little Luna, who entered Spike's dreams whenever he went to sleep. Thousand of ‘nightmares’ about ponies, dragons, diamond dogs, zebra's, buffalo, and many more.

Spike refused Luna’s pestering every time she wanted to help. The Princess of the Night left Spike's dream room, before walking into the Dream Realm. The realm held many doors spanning for miles to the left and right of her, each with Cutie Marks that told The Princess which ponies’ dreams lied behind which door. Many had no sign of a Cutie Mark, instead having a name written in fine-ink to tell her who’s it was. Behind those doors lay other creatures like dragons or Diamond Dogs dreams. Luna looked to see a rustic-brown wooden door being blocked by many strong metal chains and held shut by multiple large locks. A note was written upon the door:

"Sorry Luna, but you’re not allowed in here. I won't let you see my mind again."

Princess Luna walked through the halls, seeing a door coloured orange on the top, white in the middle, and green at the bottom. A name was written in the wood. "Little Strongheart", a female Buffalo whose father had been forcing to find a male Buffalo to have as a husband. The trouble being that the female buffalo wanted somebody caring and kind, and every guy in her tribe had neither of those traits.

Princess Luna knew that both Spike and this Little Strongheart were looking for each other, despite them not knowing it. The Princess of The Night lit up her horn, using her magic to connect the two dreams together, Luna gave off a smile, seeing the white line of magic stretched between the hallway.

Fireworks. Seeing them bust in the beautiful night sky was more than amazing. Fantastic didn’t right either, a female Buffalo watched the fireworks with her dark grayish and kinda reddish brown colored eyes. Her mane is a brilliant shade of light gamboge while her coat is light tangelo with her hooves just being dark gray. She also wears a purple and white colour headband spikes with two white feathers with black at the tip.

Little Strongheart sat watching the fireworks with her boyfriend. The Buffalo smiled at a ruff memory on how the two somehow fell in love, it all happen when the Buffalo’s and Ponies of Appleloosa started a war. Little Strongheart shook the bad memory out of her head.

She felt the warm touch from the purple claw of her loving boyfriend; Spike. He’s a little strange, but his heart is in the right place and he always follows what he believes in. That what made Little Strongheart love the male dragon, his kind, caring, generous nature just made the female Buffalo’s heart sing in joy.

“Spike. This is wonderful. I thought that I would never see something like this in my life! I love it!” Little Strongheart cried out in joy.

Spike gave his girlfriend a kiss on the forehead, getting the female Buffalo to calm down. Before Little Strongheart knew it, the setting changed around her and Spike. She was no longer sitting in a grassy field with just her and Spike watching the fireworks.

“Anything for you, my love. I’ll do anything for love.” Spike spoke, Little Strongheart let out a sigh leaning her head on his shoulder.

The two lovers floated in the sky in a pink air balloon over the city of Manehattan. Spike held Little Strongheart close to his warm scales, the female Buffalo cheeks began to heat up in a bright red blush. It always happen to her when Spike gave her a hug.

She smiled, Spike held her hoof. The two looked up towards the night seeing the shooting stars from the hot air balloon that the two was currently riding on. Little Strongheart nuzzle her dragon boyfriend after she felt the strong cold air blowing through her mane.

“I love you Spike. This is amazing, the best day ever thank you.” Little Strongheart spoke

“I love you too Strongheart, anything for my number one gal.” Spike said, Little Strongheart gave a smile leaning into a kiss with her boyfriend.

This all happen during a dinner by candlelight within the city of Manehattan. Roses in a flower jar sat in the middle, Little Strongheart noticed her favourit e meal sitting in front of her. She didn’t even remember ordering it, her memories felt a little fuzzy, like there are parts missing. She loved Spike, she felt a strong connection to him, she knew that Spike love her back. The only thing plaguing her was ‘why?’ He felt like a dream come true, that what made her wonder why, nothing in this world seemed real, everything was a little too perfect.

Little Strongheart woke by the sunlight, she rubbed her tired eyes. A dream, it was all a dream, a perfect dream with the perfect guy. She knew who Spike was, the female Buffalo meet the male dragon at Appleloosa when the ponies and Buffalo's were at war with each other.

The strange feeling she had for him now, even thinking about Spike made her heart start to flutter. She had the male dragon on her mind, he made her smile without him even being there. It was that dream, it made her think more about Spike, during that dream he was nice, Little Strongheart is sure that he is nice and kind in the real world and the dream world.

"I need to see him again. I wonder did he share the dream?" Little Strongheart said, wondering out loud.

---

Spike had a strange dream, one with fireworks, hot air balloons, dinner by candlelight. Little Strongheart, he hadn't seen her in forever, but with her next to him, hugging him close. The thoughts of the Dream Date he had with Little Strongheart haunted him throughout the day. Spike slap his head, knowing the only pony that is up to this.

Spike sat at the train station, waiting for the train to Appleloosa, the train rolled up to the station. Spike just lean his head on the window knowing that the ride to Appleloosa was twenty-four hours long, the male dragon just watched the green trees past by. His eyes lids soon closed once the night came once again, going into the lands of dreams.

In a rocky terrain, Spike had his long silver lance in his right claw. Large dust clouds filled the land, the wicked King Sombra had filly napped Princess Little Strongheart; planning on making the Princess Little Strongheart, his Queen of The Darkness.

Spike held a magic proof shield in his left claw, he looked to see the wicked King Sombra letting out a malicious laughter, Spike could hear the cries from the princess locked away in the tower that the evil king protected. King Sombra crushed Spike's shield under his hoof, he looked Spike with his glowing green eyes with purple flowing out of them.

"You'll never save her. The Princess belongs to me and me alone! She shall be my Queen once I take over Equestria!" King Sombra spoke in his chilling deep voice.

"You'll have to put that plan on hold for now Sombra!" Spike said, his eyes saw his lance only a few feet away.

"You will never defeat me, I am King Sombra!"

Spike is so glad that the power hungry unicorn loves to hear himself talk, Spike reached out his right arm, trying his best to grab hold of his silver lance. His fingers barely just touched the grip, the male dragon trying his best to roll the lance closer to his claw.

Spike kicked the villainous King Sombra, he rolled against the rocky ground, Spike held his lance in his claw giving off a smile to the mad unicorn. King Sombra gave a grin to the male dragon, being the strong dragon he isn’t afraid of the wicked unicorn king.

Spike blocked King Sombra magical blast, his feet dragging against the ground. Spike started moving slowly towards the wicked unicorn king, his feet digging into the rocky ground. King Sombra’s eyes widen in surprise, the wicked unicorn fell onto his knees, Spike towered over him.

“Where’s Princess Little Strongheart?” Spike asked, his voice sounded much deeper than normal.

“The…. Cough. Tower, she locked away. Only my magic can…. Cough. Break through the door.”

Spike put his lance through King Sombra’s cape to make sure that the wicked unicorn wouldn’t try and escape justice. Princess Little Strongheart sat with a dark tower, there wasn’t any windows and a steel door blocking her only way out. A loud banging started happening at the door, the female Buffalo moved away from the door backing towards the wall. The steel door smashed against the ground; Princess Little Strongheart smiled in joy seeing the brave and handsome Sir Spike. The greatest knight in Equestria, the female Buffalo rushed up to the brave knight pressing her lips against Spike’s lips.

Spike woke up, having arrived at Appleloosa. Spike walked through the town, seeing ponies and buffalo's living together in peace, he walked through the town, he smiled seeing the female buffalo. Little Strongheart turn to see Spike, remembering the dream that she been sharing with Spike.

Little Strongheart and Spike left the town side by side, the dragon and buffalo sat a hill looking over the two. Little Strongheart didn't know what to say to him, after those dreams she felt a strange flutter and a blush would creep on her cheeks.

"Sorry about those dreams, that was Luna. She thinks I need help to get a girlfriend." Spike said, causing Little Strongheart to let out a giggle.

"I liked those dreams, is it possible to make those dreams into reality?" Little Strongheart asked, Spike looked at her with a smile.

Spike bought her close to him, the two watched over the town holding each other close.

Author's Note:

I been wanting to write an Little Strongheart and Spike story for awhile, since I made the second part of How To Train Your Villain, the problem was the harem was filled and I had no room to fit her in. But since I didn't want to write Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon x Spike in this I could fit her in.

I might make an one-shot Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon x Spike story one day. I don't know when, but until then the next chapter in The Tales of Love Three is The Liar and The Lyra (Lyra x Spike)

Now, everyone might be wondering why I been leaving random pictures at the end of these author notes. It's because those picture might spark an idea in an upcoming writers head, I'm showing that these not so popular ships can be better than the normal Spike x one of the Main Six. That's what I hoping to get others to try out Lightning Dust or Little Strongheart with Spike. Heck in ToL2 there was Screwball x Spike, it doesn't hurt to try out a strange ship. I been having a lot of fun with every chapter so far.

Song Time!

I couldn't find that great of an Picture again, oh well here's random picture time!
