“Welcome ladies and gentle colts to the finale of Reptile Romance; Choose The Ship! Last time was the date that Spike had with both Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer then Rarity and Ember, but enough said on with the show.”
Within The Castle of Friendship, Spike stood on his stand, looking at the four girls, Princess Cadence alongside Shining Armor looked at the male dragon.
“So, Spike which one will it be; Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Ember or Rarity?” The Princess of Love asked
Spike bites his bottom lip, looking at the four girls, remembering the times he had which each of them, Spike held a single rose within his claw with a silver necklace to give to his mate.
“I choose….”
Twilight was heavily breathing, while Starlight was biting her bottom lip. Ember had her arms folded and Rarity was smiling.
“Ember.”
The Dragon Lord looked towards him with a confused expression. Spike took her claw, looking into her beautiful eyes.
“Will you be my mate for life?” He asked Ember tackled him in a hug, pressing her lips against his.
Twilight Sparkle:
“Huh, Ember. Well, you better treat Spike right or else… And Spike I hope you are happy with her and I know you’ll be a great King to the other dragons. Now thinking about it, you and Ember both belong with each other. She can teach you to be more dragon while you can teach her to be a pony, it will bridge our two cultures together.’
Rarity:
“I had my chance with Spike. He could’ve been my mate a long time ago, but he was just too young when he fell in love with me. Ponies think I treat him like some sort of slave, but I never wanted to use him as a pin cushion, but he just wanted to help me. He was really hard to say no to, have you seen his face when he was a baby. That was cute, well Spike I guess you found your own princess to be with, I’ll find my prince someday, but until then I’ll just have to live with not having you.”
Starlight Glimmer:
“Ember? I guess that means Spike’s going to be leaving Ponyville to live with Ember and become king of the dragons. I’ll better keep Twilight some company, I think she might need it. It does hurt that I lost, but Spike did say I was his second pick. We will always be friends Spike, but we can never be more and I guess I’ll keep searching for my special some pony. I’m a bit tired of boys, I think I might give girls a try for a while.”
Ember:
“Yes! I won! I just can’t believe it, Spike is my mate for life! I started to grow feelings for him after he and I became friends, it soon grew into love. After being around other dragons that are just meatheads, Spike is kind, loyal, generous, he makes me laugh, a little too honest. But I love him and now I get to be with him, I feel more than happy, I’m overjoyed about winning this. I want to treat Spike right, he deserves the best mate and I want to be that mate.”
Spike:
“It was hard choosing just one girl, by only using one date to go by, but I think Ember was the best choice. I’m going to miss Ponyville and it's going to feel weird loving in The Dragon Lands, but I do love Ember. I think the order went Ember, Starlight Glimmer, Twilight Sparkle, and finally Rarity. I do love all of them, but Rarity had her chance and never return my feelings, Twilight and I are better remaining friends rather than lovers. Starlight was hard not to pick, she and I strangely have a lot in common and talking to her is so easy, but I think I made the right choice with Ember.”
“Well folks, Spike has chosen his mate for life; Dragon Lord Ember. This is the end of Reptile Romance; Choose The Ship! This is The Announcer signing off, until next time, remember have a wonderful day or night and keep on shipping!”
Two months later…
Within The Dragon Lands, Spike held his mate, Ember within his arms giving her a loving kiss on her lips. The Throne room was much different than before, within the sleeping chamber was pictures of Spike friends in Ponyville, Spike even bought pillows to make the hard stones a little more comfortable.
Spike burped out a letter, from Twilight, the two friends write to each other every week, so it would feel like Spike never left his home.
Dear Spike:
I got some wonderful news, I found some pony to be with, it a really funny story, you’ll laugh. But I’m currently dating Starlight, she and I have been together a lot after Reptile Romance ended and well she took me to her father’s wedding and asked me to be her girlfriend!
Rarity started seeing a male Changeling, she says that they only friends, but we all know that she likes him. I hope you and Ember are happy together. I hope to see you next month.
From Twilight Sparkle
Spike pulled his mate closer with his wing, Ember fell on his lap.
“I glad that I picked you,” Spike said giving his mate a kiss.
damn the votes where close but not that close
Awesome!
Ever heard of Sakamoto?
I love TwiStar, if you couldn't tell by my avatar pic, so I love how this ended.The two have a lot in common, yet just enough differance to make it interesting. The show has been making it clear Starlight really cares about Twilight's well being and happiness and the same is true the other way around. Plus they balance each other out and keep each other grounded.
Plus, you could actually see the two growing closer and closer over the span of the series. Like how when Starlight first became part of the show, she really wasn't into the Twilight hugs. Now it seems she can't get enough of them.

I am glad that Ember won. She and Spike work well together. I don’t support Twilight and Starlight ending up together but it doesn’t really matter since it didn’t affect the overall story.
Cute little story, even if there were frequent grammar mistakes.
To celebrate best pony ship getting together.

It was a fun ride, but I guess every ride has to end one day; even this one.
I may have voted for Starlights, but I'm happy with Ember, too.
They sure will be happy together.
Good work!
I enjoyed reading it.

Any EmberSpike pics left?
(Seriously; those would be more fitting for this story.)
Forgot to ask:
Are we allowed to ask whether or not there are specific reasons for that?

Sadly, there's a serious lack of Spike Ember hugs. Maybe only two or three. And man, they are kinda awkward cause of their heights.

The reason is that I somewhat stopped enjoying writing ponyfics, I can never finish or seem what I want to write about, even when I do, I never feel up to it. That why I got rid of Episode Three of this story.
And don't worry about Starlight or the rest of the losers, I have a small plan for them.
I respect the votes. I will still be a Twi x Spike and Starlight x Spike shipper, but hey, Ember and Spike make a pretty good couple! Pretty good story, one of the more unique ones!
I think the reason people pick Ember is simply because she is a dragon just like Spike. Thought, I don't mind this shipping. But ever since Thorax appeared in the show and have more interact with Ember a lot. I kinda ship Thorax X Ember than Spike X Ember now. They both new ruler and they both like an opposite of one another. Which make them fit to be together....
And if I have to judge this base on fiction alone. I'm not sure how Ember could win. Maybe it's not suit my like. But the way you present Ember here, the way she act before and during date. It not make me root for her at all...Because there have no deep feeling here. It seem Ember eally not love Spike like love-love like other mare. She seem simply want a king and nothing more and Spike seem seeing her as nothing but cute....No deep feeling, but simply phisical appeared that make her win...
So, in my opinion. I think it either Starligh or Twilight who should win this. They are genius care and love Spike as well as Spike caring them...They seem caring Spike more than other females. Caring for his own feeling more than themselve.
When I was reading this I guess ember or rarity would get picked. Also very good story.👍👌

While I'm upset Starlight lost, at least Ember won and bonus Starlight and Twilight get to be a couple I love that ship.
