Spike was a good guy, and most people know that. Everyone expect Twilight she thought he was a good kid, and she thought kids needed to be watched. Witch meant when she was going on a trip without him she needed one of her friends to watch him.
“Fluttershy you know I wouldn't have come to you unless it was important right?” Twilight asked as she took a seat in the cottage's living room.
“I know that Twilight,.” Shy said as she put some cups on the table. “Here’s some tea if you want some.” She finished.
“I know it’s in the middle of your busy season with everyone trying to get help from you. But you know about my big trip coming up in a few days right?” Twilight asked as she picked the cup up and took a sip. After a short sip of her tea Shy nodded her head and set the cup on the tea plate. “Good, it's just, Spikes gotten to that age where I can leave him by himself. But I still have the feeling that something might go wrong. Do you think that if you’re close by on a house visit you can stop in and check in on him. You don't have to take care of him I just want you to see if he’s throwing a party or making a mess of the place.” Twilight said moving some hair behind her ear.
“So all I have to do is make sure he’s not doing anything bad.” Shy asked glancing at the clock. “What if he ask what I'm doing there?” Shy asked feeling nervous about just walking in on Spike.
“Just tell him you forgot something in my room or wanted to check in on Pewee or Owlessles. I'm sure you can find something to say.” Twilight said with a small smile before glancing at her watch then quickly looking at it again. “Oh shoot I lost track of time, I have to get back I told Spike I was just getting some food.” She said as she got up and picked up her purse. “I'm not asking to much am I?” Twilight asked stopping at the door to the cottage.
“No, no its fine like you said, I can just stop in when I'm close by.” Shy said as she followed her out.
“Oh and if he is doing something, then I'm giving you permission to do something about it. I really have to go now see you.” She said as she got in her car. Shy gave a wave as Twilight drove off, once out of sight she pulled a small daily planer out and making a few makers down.
“I can fit it in there.” She said walking back inside. Once there Shy flopped down onto her couch and let out a large sigh. “Today was so stressful and then Twilight almost walked in on me.” She said as she trailed a finger between her breast and down her stomach. She let out a sigh as she came closer to her target, only her cloths in the way now but that could be fixed in a minute. ~ Spike couldn't believe it Twilight finally let him stay by himself for more there a week and no one to watch him. All he had to do now was say good bye and he would be free for the next week and a half. “So what happens if I run out of food?” he asked as he walked next to Twilight while holding her bag.
“I left some money on the fridge if that happens. So you know the rules right?” She asked making him grown.
“Yes I remember, no parties, only guys can stay the night and no thrashing the house.” He said as they both came up to the cart Twilight would be in for this side of her trip.
“Right, and I put a sign out for the library. I need you to be in there for that time to help everyone. It's between 12:00 and 5:00 instead of you know 10:00 to 7:00. That way you have more free time.” Twilight said making him smile.
“Super cool. This is going to be the best week ‘and a half’ ever.” He said handing Twilight her bag.
“Well I hope you have fun.” She said going for a hug, which he gave. Twilight was shorter then Spike and it really showed when they hugged, they didn't hug often and that was one of the reasons. After letting go of him she took a look of just how tall he was. “I can't believe how tell you are now.” She said reaching up rubbing the top of his head.
“Well I am turning eighteen soon, so it is expected right.” He said fixing his Mohawk form the rubbing she gave it.
“Yea I know, but you still act like your ten most of the time.” She said in a joking matter when the train whistle rang out.
“Yea I guess I do. Sounds like it’s time to go.” He said as Twilight stepped up onto the stairs.
“Alright, bye Spike.” She said as she walked in and found her spot. Spike watched as Twilight found her spot by a window. Spike was about to turn and walk away when he heard Twilight yell at him. “Try not to get in to much trouble while I'm gone.” She yelled from the window. Spike chuckled at that giving a wave as he kept walking back to the library. ~ Spike was on the phone trying to find out if someone wanted to hang out with him, he wasn't having much luck though. At the time he was on the phone will trying to reshelf some books that ware out of place.
“Sorry man I have to finish a bunch of homework for school. Man, I wish I was home schooled like you so I didn't have so much.” Snails said with a joking tone.
“Come on that’s bull shit and you know it, Twilight gives me work way harder then what you guys get.” Spike said as someone came into the library. Spike gave a glance back seeing who it was. Spike didn't recognize her at first, but the way she dressed it reminded him of where she was from. Spike pulled his phone from between check and his shoulder and put it in his hand. “Well look who just walked in.” He said making the school teacher turn to him. “Excuse me Cheerilee.” He said with a smile.
“Did I do something wrong?” She asked stopping in place with a worried look.
“No, nothing like that, it's just I'm on the phone with Snails and he said that some of the work you gave him was somewhat lacking.” He said making her chuckle and hearing a 'Dude' from the phone.
“Really, then can you tell him that will be sure to make it harder for him.” She said making his grin bigger.
“She said she'll make it harder for you. Yea OK I got to go bye.” Spike said hearing his friend on the other end.
“What dude stop.” He heard before he hung up. Spike shoved his phone in his pocket and put his books on top of the ladder.
“Did he really say that?” She asked as Spike came down the ladder. When he was near the bottom he turned to answer her when she hide the book in her hand behind herself.
“No, he was really just complaining on how much there was.” Spike said with a chuckle while rubbing his Mohawk. “Anyways is there anything I can help you with?” Spike asked making her look around.
“Well I usually get helped by Twilight for what I need.” She said with a nervous smile.
“Oh Twilight just left for an important meeting.” He said with a shrug.
“Oh OK, do you know when she'll be back?” She said kind of worried. Spike had seen this before when Twilight when on a trip before.
“She'll be back in about a week and a half.” He said making her sigh. It look like she was about to leave when Spike spoke up. “You know I can help too.” He said making her stop and think about it. Spike had to admit that she was looking cute. He didn't get to see that many girls in school outfits even if it was the teacher, she had a knee length purple skirt with a white blouse, and her breast weren't that bad looking either.
“Well, can you promise not to say anything?” She asked make Spike nod. “Say it out loud.” She said making Spike shrug.
“I promise I won’t say anything.” Spike said holding his hand up, just for more of an effect.
“OK then, I'm looking for the next book in this serious.” She said as she brought the book from behind her back. The books cover read 'Hot Shot' and the picture on it was a man and a woman in an office. The anther read 'Rosa Kiss' which meant one of two things. Either this person's parents hated there kid, or this is a fake name.
“I don't think I've seen this book before.” Spike said looking the book over. At this point Cheerilee's face was starting to get beet red.
“It's from the basement.” She said making Spike shake his head slightly. “Maybe only Twilight knows about it.” She said before taking a step away.
“Wait.” Spike said making her stop again. “Do you remember the way?” He asked making her clench her hand.
“Ahh I guess I do.” She said before she took a turn to the back of the library. “She uses her magic to open it.” She said pushing part of the rug off of a trap door.
“How did I not see that all this all this time?” He asked as Cheerilee moved closer to him.
“Twilight said there’s a spell on it to keep people from finding it, and unless you can lift over two hundred pounds then I don't think ware getting in.” She said with a defeated tone.
“Well then it looks like you’re in for a show.” Spike said reaching down and grabbing the latch on the door. ”Sense I have to work with Apple Jack and Big Mac sometimes I needed to get some muscle or I couldn't really help them.” He said before pulling with all his might.
“Wow really, that’s really impressive.” She said as Spike got the door half way up.
“Just a little mo...” He said as he pushed the door so it was open as much as possible. The door sat leaning back, just at the angle that Spike could lean on it. “Wow maybe I shouldn't have done it like that.” He said holding his head as he felt dizzy.
“Are you OK Spike?” She asked making Spike put his hand up.
“Just give me a minute. That was just too much to lift.” He said before taking some deep breaths. “You can go in there I'll be right after you.” He said waving her off. “I don't think I can lift anymore.” He said as she started down the stairs.
“Well you can lift me like that any day.” Cheerilee said as she walked reached the bottom of the stairs. She didn't know what was up with this room, but it always made her feel dirty. It was probably the fact that it was felled with erotic romance novels. Cheerilee was enjoying her time in the room, everything about this room was hot to her. The rug felt soft like you could lay on it all day, the lights in the room also set off a mood that went well with the content of the room, then there are the couches. Those were the best part in her opinion, they leaned back just enough that you could lay back and read a book at the same time. She’d seen them before in an auction, they ware from an old cat how, sadly though she was outbid and she didn't get them. ~ Cheerilee took a moment before lying across the chair. Cheerilee really loved being in this room in here she wasn't a teacher, she was just a woman that could enjoy her time. She was making herself at home and didn't hear Spike coming down the stairs. She threw her two toned hair around making it splay around her head, crossed her legs slightly and pulled her arms up to her chest. Spike had gotten his wind back and was on is way down to see this room he worked so hard to uncover. The steps on the way down ware short and he reached the room with ease he was glad for that after having to lift that door. He walked into the dark room making him take a look around, it didn't take long for him to find Cheerilee, who was just enjoying herself. Spike was in ahh of just how hot she looked, he didn't know where to look, his eyes however found her chest. There was a silence for a moment before Spike came to his to his sense and let out a cough. Her eyes shoot open and she poped up at a neck braking speed fixing her hair along with her skirt.
“So this is the room.” Spike said awkwardly as he took a few steps to one of the walls filled with books.
“Yep, a lot of heart break in this room.” She said with an awkward laugh making Spike do the same.
“I can see what you mean, so who were we looking for, 'Rosa Kiss' right?” He asked making her blush but he couldn't see in this lighting. Spike looked at the spine of the books for the right area. “It should be over here I think.” He said walking to the other side of the room with Cheerilee walking close behind. Spike pulled a few books and looked them over. “This is what your looking for rig...” Spike was cut off by Cheerilee pushing herself ageist his back.
“That looks like the right one.” She said slipping next to him before he could say anything. “Thanks.” She said as she took the one of the books out of his hand. “You don't mind if I stay down here right?” She asked but Spike wasn't able to speak being so confused. Spike wasn't sure want to do, in one hand he had a woman giving off some strong signals and he could stay down here with her but in the other he had to hold down the shop. Spike had to go with the choice that would get him in less trouble.
“No it's cool. But I have to stay upstairs.” Spike said before hearing a sigh, he looked over to her to find that she was looking down slightly.
“Alright.” She said taking a step away and moving to the chair. “But do you think you can come get me? I don't usually stay for long, but I have free time so I think I'll stay.” She said as she sat down putting one of her legs up which made her skirt slide down slightly, but she didn't fix it.
“Sure, we close at five today. Do you want me to get you then?” He asked after a sic he saw her nod. “OK I'll see you in... an hour and a half.” He said straining to see the hands on the watch. Spike didn't know want to think at the time. Spike made his way back up the stairs from the dark room to find there was now a few people in the library. ~ It was finally coming down to the last few minutes of the work day, and Spike had to admit working here alone was hard and it was getting hot in here. Spike went to pull his jacket off then his hand got caught, he looked to see what got caught and found it was his nails.
“Man I have cut file my nails later.” He said taking the string off his hand. He looked at the part that it came off of and found it was fringed, giving a small cough of fire he fixed it. “Good, now where is that file.” Spike said looking around for it. Looking around Spike found it in the living room. Spike started to file away at his hands but after about an hour he found two things. One this file had been worn dull, and two he forgot about Cheerilee in the dark room. “Shit.” He said before running to the libraries back room where the door was. Hopefully she wouldn't be to mad at him. Spike ran down the steps but overestimated and fell on the last step. Spike put his hand out to try and stop his fall but he found something else, but this didn't stop him from falling. Spike fell taking whatever he grabbed with him. Spike groaned and opened his eyes to find they were blocked by a piece of cloth.
“Ahum Spike can you get off me.” He heard Cheerilee say, after a moment Spike realized where he was. Spike pulled her head up from between her legs feeling her face getting red, and he knew she could see it with it just bright enough from the doorway. “And your hand?” She said with a small smile. Spike looked down to find his hand squeezing her breast. Spike pulled his hand away quickly but when he did his nails ripped her shirt. “Was this your plan all along, get me alone, push me down and rip my cloths off?” She asked as her toung came out.
“No no no.” Spike said pushing away from her. Spike really didn't know what to think, here she was acting even stranger the before. “I... you ahh asked me to get you when it was time to go.” He said making her blink a few times before closing her legs and sitting up.
“Right.” She said before standing up her face now like the one from when she first came to the library. She went to walk past Spike a fast as possible stopping after going out the door. “Can you put those books on the table on hold for me, I forgot my card.” She finished making Spike nod slowly.
“Y-yea sure.” He said slowly before she ran off, he could hear her open the door and then it closing. “That was weird.” He said standing up and walking back into the room. Spike found a few things that ware weird to him. One being the smell which was slightly different from before, another was a few books on the table along with something on the floor. One of the books on the table was the one he helped her find earlier and the other one was an odd sight. He picked up the book and raised his eye brow just from the name which read 'Fire in the library'. Spike took a seat on the closest chair and began reading the back. Spike felt weirder and weirder with ever line he read, the book was about a male librarian and a school teacher hucking up after a few meeting. Spike leaned back while reading putting his had out to support him, but when his hand landed on a wet spot on the chair he pulled back.
“What the hell?” He thought looking at the spot. Everything in Spikes mind told him to leave but Spike just couldn't let it go. For some reason Spike decided to smell the spot, he lean down close and gave it a whiff. He pulled back right after, Spike knew the smell and now he felt like he was about to go crazy. Spike just couldn't handle it anymore one more thing and he was going to freak out. That’s when Spike remembered the thing on the floor, he sighed he really didn't want to go freak out. So he didn't look down. He felt like he was tired enough to go straight to bed anyways. So that’s what Spike did he got straight up and walked out, he kept walking until he reached the upstairs rooms. Heading left into his room Spike threw himself on to his bed and crossed his arms under his head before falling to sleep.
Cheerilee couldn't believe herself, she embarrassed herself in front of that guy. She hated that room it always made her act so weird, but that was also why she loved that room it just made her feel so free. Only… something was still nagging her, she felt like she forgot something, and what made it even worse she stole his jacket, she felt so bad. But it wasn't her fault he did rip her favorite shirt, she looked really nice in this shirt. She did have to adamant though his hand did feel good, and it had been a long time. Cheerilee felt the jacket she had over her back as she moved on her bed. She could hear her sister down stairs which meant that she might get heard, she had to be quite. Cheerilee opened her night stand and pulled one of the few erotic books she ever bought. She flipped to one of her favorite parts of the book. Cheerilee started to rub her breast as the story got better and better, she was now pinch her breast ever now and then just to throw in something different, making her moan out loud. She stopped mid-sentence and smelt the jacket she had stolen, she imagined it was him and her in the book. Touching each other, holding each other, Cheerilee felt it was time, she moved her hand down under her skirt. Once there her eyes shot open and realized what she forgot. ~ Spike woke up to his alarm at eight in the morning, this was normal for him sense he had to tend to the library. But he didn't need to wake up at this time today sense he didn't have to open for another four hours. But Spike figured he could find something to do, but he really had to change that time it rings. Spike made his was down stairs to find some food to eat. Spike went to his gem jar and started looking for a gem he could cut up to eat. Pulling out the biggest gem he could find, Spike pulled out a knife that was enchanted to cut gems and started cutting the one in his hand into slivers. He was making a dish he made up that he liked to call gem fries. ~ When he was done cutting them he had twelve, ten long ones and two shorter ones. Tossing one of the short ones in his mouth he headed to the shower. Normally he could eat this in a few minutes but he felt like severing them today. On his way to his shower he grabbed a bag that could hold all the gems and threw them in there. Spike grabbed some cloths and headed in the shower where he was met with an bad feeling in his stomach. He pulled the half eaten gem out of his mouth and coughed up a letter from probably Twilight. Spike let the paper fall onto the bathroom table along with the other cloths and dental hygiene things Twilight made him use. Picking the letter up and opening it he found it was from her and it read.
“Dear Spike I would just like to tell you that I made it the meeting fine and I just wanted to tell you I was doing fine. I hope you’re having fun with being freedom. Love Twilight.”
“That’s good she made it there safely.” He said leaving it there. “I'll wright back when I'm done.” He said as he started to strip off his cloths. Putting the gem back in his mouth he hopped into the shower and started to lather himself. It wasn't long before he found himself starting to think about what had happen last night. That girl was just acting so weird, even weirder then some of the slutty girls he heard about from his friends. They sounded like they were at least subtle about it. She was just asking to be taken. And the worst part about it was she would be coming back soon for her books. “What am I going to do?” He asked himself. That too there was whatever was in that room he had to deal with, and that door. He could either leave it open and have to make sure no one went in there, or close it and have to open every time someone wanted a book from there. Maybe he could make a levy system that might help.
“I'll have to go to the store then.” He said as he rinsed off. “Well at least I have the time.” He said stepping on the towel he leaves on the floor. Picking up another towel he stared to dry off. Spike started to crush the last of the gem as he threw his towel to the side. Spike grabbed his cloths when his phone went off and started playing 'Sand Storm' which meant it was a call. Spike managed to get his underwear and pants on before reaching his phone in this room. Spike glanced at his phone seeing it was. Seeing it was Scootaloo he answered it without a second thought. “Yo.” He said putting his phone between his chain and shoulder.
“Hay men want you doing?” She asked with the sound of running water in the background.
“Nothing just got out of the shower and about to head to the store, what about you?” He asked pulling his shirt over his having trouble with his phone as well.
“Oh, well I'm in the shower so.” She said with a small laugh.
“Scoots I told you not to call me when you’re in there. You always give to much detail.” He said pulling the phone and switching sides while he put his shirt on.
“What you don't want to hear about how I'm cleaning my sma...” She said but he interrupted her.
“If you don't stop then I'm going to hang up.” He said deadpan.
“Fine, but was going to say feet.” She said with a chuckle. “So you’re still single right?” She asked making Spike confused.
“Yea, but I thought you were going out with Rumble?” He asked confused.
“I am, I was just thinking about bring someone by after school that I think you might like.” She said making him shrug.
“Oh alright, when will you galls going to get here?” He asked before hearing her tap her foot in the water.
“Probably a bit after four, that way she can get dressed up.” She said as the running water stopped in the background.
“Oh, well how about five that’s when I get off and Twilights not here to cover for me.” He said making her go silent.
“So a dinner date then, alright I'll tell her.” She said through the sound of cloths being put on. Spike remembered the letter for some reason and started to look for a pen.
“Alright cool. Oh hay weird question but is there anything wrong with Cheerilee?” He asked as jumped onto his bed.
“Ahh no, not that I know of why?” She asked with a questioning tone.
“I don't know. She was acting weird when she was here yesterday.” He said pulling another gem fry out and tossing it in his mouth.
“I haven't seen anything. What was she acting like?” She asked as Spike sat up and grabbed a piece of paper of paper and started to wright back to Twilight.
' Dear Twilight glad you got there safe and good luck with the meeting. Love Spike' He finished before rolling it up and sealing it with wax.
“Well I'm not sure. It's hard to describe.” He lied. He knew how she was acting she was acting, she was horny, or at least talked like she was. “I don't know, can you give me a sic, I have to send something.” He said lifting the sealed letter up.
“Wait. Put it on speaker phone I like to hear your fire thing.” She said making Spike stop.
“Fine.” He said pulling the phone away and hitting the button and putting it on his chest. Taking a deep breath and focusing on burning it to Twilight. Feeling he was ready he let out the air igniting it on its way out making the paper he was holding burn and float away. “There you happy?” He asked hearing a gleeful sound.
“Yea vary. Oh looks like I have to go see ya.” She said as Spike put the gem back.
“Alright see ya.” He said hanging his phone up. Spike sat up on his bed giving a glance around. Spike found there weren’t that many things to occupy himself with, all he could really do was play video games or violin. And he didn't want to do that play games right now, and he didn't like playing without someone there. Remembering he had to go to the store anyways Spike hopped up and started heading down stairs passing all the pictures of friends and family. Spike started to think about the time he had spent in this town. He passed a picture with Twilight and all her friends, which made him think of everything he had done for them. He loved each of them all in different ways, some of in ways he shouldn't have. But that was all in the past now, well for the most part. Spike glanced into the library making sure everything was in order when he saw the trap door still open. He figured he might as well get it over with and headed down. The room still had the light on which he forgot to turn off in his haste to not flip out. Spike looked down to see the books still on the table that sat between the three chairs. Spike took a seat in the same spot as before and tried feeling for the wet spot. Luckily it was dried out which meant he didn't have to do it himself. Spike leaned over the chair looking down at what looked like underwear. He reached down and picked them up, Spike couldn't believe she left her underwear here. He started to feel the underwear while he went back up stairs. It was soft like it should be if she ware to wear them down there, they ware lavender and looked like they ware boyshorts. In truth they ware rather cute and the thought of seeing her in them did sound rather nice. Spike looked at the underwear standing at the top of the stairs before looking around. He shoved the underwear in his pocket and went to get his jacket. Spike didn't really need a jacket but he liked to wear it while he was flying. Heading into the main part of the library where he left it, but it wasn't there.
“I could of sworn I left it down here.” He said looking around. Pulling the gem out of his mouth he tried retracing his steps. He put the finished with the books away, complained about the heat took his jacket and put it down there, and went to file his nails. “I guess I'll find it later.” He said walking into the living room. Grabbing his house keys and wallet Spike headed out, locking the door behind him. Spike focused on his wings trying to pull them into existence. Spike was getting better at this but it still took lots of focus. “How does Rainbow do this so easily?” He said as he finally got them out. Giving them a flap he lifted into the air a bit. Starting to flap harder he lifted himself into the air, leaning forward he started to move towards the hardware store. Spike pulled another gem out once he was finished with the one he had and tossed another in his mouth. Spike got a weird feeling almost like he was being watched, and he didn't like it. He gave a few glances around, all he saw was clouds which made him feel even stranger. Picking up the speed he started feeling cold. It wasn't long before Spike could see the the store. He started to lower himself taking a look around seeing as he had a ways to go.
“Speed up kid!” He heard before seeing a rainbow blur slam into him towards the ground, making his gem come out his mouth. Spike turned to see who it was finding Rainbow Dash, who gave a small wave with her wings on full display behind her.
“Rainbow what the fuck!?” He said falling fast to the ground, trying to open his wings and slow the fall.
“Hay, no need for all that.” She said with a big grin.
“We're going to crash Rainbow, let me go!” He yelled making her shake her head.
“Come on kid you know I wouldn't do this if I couldn't stop.” She said before flapping her wings making them slow down but not enough. “Sorry Spike it doesn’t look like we can get out of this one.” She said as she started flapping her wings with all her force, making Spike go the same.
“Rainbowww!” Spike yelled before they slammed into the ground.
Spike was enjoying his nap and really wished it didn't end, but the bucket of water ended that rather quickly. Spike shook his head trying to get the water off. Spike opened his eyes to find he was in a small hole, and there was about half a dozen people looking down at him. He didn't recognize any of them other than Rainbow who he was pissed at.
“Rainbow I'm going to ki...” He started to yell trying to lift his arm but stopping when pain shot threw it making him scream. “My arm!” He yelled making a few people gasp.
“Come on help me get him up.” He heard Rainbow say before feeling hands pick him up none of them touching his arm he was holding. Spike looked back to see he was being put in a chair. “Alright, Spike it looks like your arm popped out of place. If you want to move it you have to pop it back into place, alright?” She said making him nod. “It's going to hurt a lot alright.” She said making him nod his head and look up. Spike prepared for the worst, not having done this before. There was a moment where he didn't feel anything but that ended fast when she pushed it back into place. Spike wonted to yell but all that came out was fire, which surprised most people.
“Sweet Luna that hurt.” He said holding the arm before glancing at Rainbow, who was the only one who stayed after the fire show.
“So...” She said rubbing the back of her head. “Anything else hurt?” She said with a stupid grin.
“It just hurts. Why would you do that, we could have died?” He said punching her arm making her yelp a bit, making him sigh. “Are you alright?” He said with a more caring tone.
“It's just my shoulder, you’re the one that hit the ground harder.” She said rubbing it a bit.
“That would make sense if I wasn't part dragon, your bodies weaker than mine. Come here.” He said before picking her up.
“Spike stop, put me down.” She said trying to push him off before flinching.
“How did you fix my arm if yours hurts too?” He asked as he carried her into the store. Spike looked down to find Rainbow with her arms crossed, probably because there were people looking and giving looks.
“Hay mister.” He heard behind himself before feeling a hand on his back making Spike turn around. “I think you dropped this.” A small kid said holding out what looked like his gem bag.
“Oh thanks kid.” He said. “Rainbow can you take that for me my hands are full.” He said having her take the bag from him.
“And I found this near you.” He said holding out the half eaten one. “Can I have this one?” He asked with a big smile.
“How about you take a different one.” He said trying to reach the bag with his hands Rainbow keeping it from him.
“I'll give him one if I can have one.” She said with a smile.
“I don't care, just give him one.” He said having her open the bag and hand the kid one and taking the other. “Just be careful and don't try to eat it.” He said making the kid run off.
“Can you put me down?” She asked taking one of the gems out of the bag.
“Will you pay for some pain killers?” He asked making her nod. “Alright.” He said putting her down.
“So where's your jacket, I almost didn't recognize you without it?” She asked as she put the gem in her mouth.
“I lost it. So why did you tackle me anyway?” He asked as she started sucking on the gem and walked down the isles.
“No real reason just wanted to talk. Heard you got left to watch the library. That must be cool having the whole place to yourself.” She said taking some pain killers off the shelf.
“Yea, but it feels weird being alone.” He said before Rainbow stopped him.
“Spike can I be real with you for a minute? Like bro to bro?” She asked making him look at her and see she was serious.
“Yea, totally.” He said looking around.
“You’re a catch. Like girls would be lucky to go out with you. Your smart, strong, funny, caring, and your pretty good in the sack too.” She said making Spike look away. “You’re like the perfect man.” She said elbowing him.
“How do you know about the sack thing?” He asked making her laugh.
“Don't you remember your last birthday party?” She asked as she moved the gem in her mouth with a small smile.
“All I remember from my last party was you guys handing me drinks, and then I woke up I was in bed with you and Jack.” He said with a shrug.
“Alright well, I'll fill you in. Like you said we were all drinking and someone asked who could drink more me or Jack. She won that game.” She said as she started to walk. “But being so drunk, one of old companions came up.” She said blushing a bit.
“What was it?” He asked shaking his head a little.
“Who was better in bed.” She said scratching the back of her head while Spike's eyes shot open. “Yea, that’s why you woke up in bed with us.” She said blushing some more.
“So... who won?” He asked slowly.
“Well me of course.” She said with a smile. “Bet you wish you could remember that night, two girls on you birth day.” She said giving him a hard elbow. “And you never know, anything can happen this year.” She said with another elbow followed by a wink.
“Yea, that would be cool.” He said rubbing where she kept elbowing him. “But why are you telling me all this?” He asked making her put her hand on his shoulder.
“Spike what I'm trying to say is. You have to be careful with Twilight not around, I don't want you getting mixed up in girl trouble.” She said as Spike turned into the hardware part of the store.
“What does Twilight have to do with any of this?” He asked picking out a strong rope.
“Spike, I've seen the way some girls look at you, older girls. Ones that look like they would jump on you if you asking if you asked 'if she wanted to get out of there'. And then Twilight comes by and treats you like a kid. That is a huge turn off.” She said nearing yelling and throwing her arm out. “Hell, I've done that a few times. There have been a few time that when you’re looking like we can go blow off some steam real easy. And then Twilight comes up and cleans something off your face with a handkerchief.” She said throwing her arms out while Spike measured out fifty feet but the comment made him stop and look at her.
“Rainbow, you just described what she did last week.” He said making her blush, cross her arms and look away.
“Well, I was having a bad day last week.” She said still looking away shifting the gem in her mouth. “Geaz this gem is good. What is this emerald?” She said trying to change the subject.
“Yea, it is.” He said cutting the rope and looking for a hook.
“So, what’s with all the rope?” She asked still trying to change the subject.
“There's a weird room in the library that people need to get into for books. I just wanted to make sure I could open it, the door is really heavy and the last time I tried opening it I nearly passed out.” He said picking up a hook up that looked like it would work.
“Is it the room with all the dirty books in it?” She asked as he picked one out and headed to the check-out but got pulled into the health care part.
“Yea you know about it?” He asked as Rainbow grabbed some condoms.
“Yea Rarity tried getting me to read it. But the way I see it if I don't someone there then its not worth trying.” She said as she nudged him to the front counter passing by the alcohol grabbing a bottle of some of the better tequila.
“Yea, I guess I feel the same. I mean I've only done it like twice... But I just can't wrap my head around holding a book and holding something else at the same time.” He said making Rainbow laugh.
“Yea, I can see what you mean. Go ahead and throw your stuff up there. I'll pay for it.” She said as they got to the stand.
“Alright, do you have to work today?” He asked making her nod.
“Yea, you don't mind taking all this back to your place and I can get it later?” She asked making him nod as she paid for everything. “Cool I'll be by late for all of it.” She said as it was bagged up.
“Alright.” He said as he took most of the bags but the one with the bottle sense they wouldn't let him walk out with it. “You know if you’re ever feel like you need to blow off some steam you can come to me.” He said slowly and awkwardly, trying not to make eye contact.
“Wow, got some balls to say that. But you should be careful I might just take you up on that offer.” She said slapping his ass, making him jump I bit and flying up a bit. “Got to go, see yea tonight.” She said before leaving with a grin.
“See yea.” He said looking at all the bags he had to carry back. ~ Spike made his way back this time walking witch let him throw back some pain killers. It wasn't that he didn't like walking he just needed to practice fly. Rainbow said to do so until he could do it without really thinking. But after what she did to him in the air he was going to stay grounded. Spike started to look around and thought about the differences between the big city and small town. He found himself thinking about this often. It was just strange how different they ware. Here everyone was happy, nice, and know each other. While in the city though everyone just seamed mad and didn't want anything to do with people they didn't know, which was completely opposite to here if you didn't know someone here then you better watch out for Pinky Pie. But there were down sides to a small to, if you fuck up there’s a good chance the whole town would know within the week. But the air, he thought taking a deep breath. Nothing like it, when he came here the air was so fresh he felt like he could take on the world. Spike looked at his watch he was surprised to find there was only an two hours tell he had to open. Pulling out his wings as fast as he could he got a running start and flew home to put up the rig and check for books. He was coming up fast on the library heading for the balcony that connected the two rooms but spotting someone at the front entrance making him slow a bit.
“Who is that?” He said looking at the person only able the make out what they were wearing, which was a skirt, purple blouse and a gray jacket. Spikes landed quickly and ran through his room and make a bee line for the door. Making it to the door he smashed his face to the window and spotted them. “Cheerilee?” He said before pulling his face off and opening the door. “Cheerilee!” He yelled making her stop in her tracks being a little over twenty feet away. She slowly turned around before giving a shy smile.
“Hi again.” She said with a small wave. “I was just stopping by to say sorry about last night.” She said still walking backwards.
“Wait.” He nearly yelled scaring both of them a bit. “Ahh would you like to come in for some tea?” He said making her stop for a second. It took her a moment before she spoke thinking over the offer before a small smile came to her face and she nod.
“Alright. I guess I have time.” She said before walking back with a hop in her step as she followed him into the library. Spike held the door open for her as a man should and closed it behind her after she walked in.
“Do you have any tea you like we have just about every type?” He said as she took a seat.
“Well I'm not really a big tea drinker. How about you just bring something you like?” She said starting to take her jacket off and putting in on the arm of the chair.
“Alright I'll be back in a minute.” He said before going into the kitchen and grabbing things in a rush. Spike raced around the room picking things out of the cabinets and getting water and some cheese cake from the fridge. Popping out of the kitchen Spike looked at Cheerilee before grabbing the tray with everything on it and backed into the room with tray in hand. “Here we go, Dragonwell tea, and cheese cake.” He said stopping before putting the tray down. “Actually you don't mind if we go into the living room do you? Twilight doesn't like it when people eat it here.” He said with a small chuckle.
“Sure, I don't mind.” She said picking up her jacket and following him into the normal living space. Spike placed the tray down and took a sit in the smaller room. The room had a coffee table that sat between two single seats and in front of a three seater, all of with had a lavender color and pattern on them, the pattern just being swirls but it had a pleasant look to it.
“Listen this is hard to say but, last night there was a few misinterpretations.” Spike said picking up the tea pot warming it up with his hand. “There are more than a few things we have to talk about.” He said putting a cup and plate in front of her.
“I know the why I was acting is inexcusable. I hope you can forgive me.” She said as the tea simmered the sound of water at a slight boil filling the silence.
“Well I can overlook what you did. But the problem isn't with me it's with the shop.” He said smelling the pot before giving a nod. “I'm not going to ban you, even though I should. But I still have to do something ab...” He said while starting to pour the tea when she interrupted him.
“I'm sorry did I do something to be kicked out off?” She asked as the smell of tea and cake filled the room.
“Well I don't know how 'excited' girls normally get but, I found a pair of underwear and a wet spot. Sooo...” He said pouring her a cup before looking up to see her face redder them most apples hes seen at the farm. She started to pick the cup her hand shaking making her stop it with her other one.
“I… well… you see I-I was there was a part but I didn't mean to...” She said moving her hands around as she tried explaining. In the end she just kind of put her hands up and threw them down. “Do you have them?” She asked still looking away.
“I might have them on hand.” He said crushing one of the gems with his hand and put it in his tea. “Would you like some?” He said calmly still trying not to crack under the pressure. She didn't look at him which was a shame because if she did she would have seen his blood red face as well, but nodded without knowing what it was. He sprinkled the rest of the gem into her cup and stirred it up for her.
“What are you going to do with them?” She asked as her hand finally picked up the cup and taking a small sip.
“You will get them back. It's not like I can keep them.” He said as she turned to him while he stared to take a sip as well.
“You can...” She said making him start cough up his tea.
“What!?” He nearly yelled through the coughs.
“If you don't say anything I'll let you keep them.” She said.
“Nobody would find out regardless.” He said with a small chuckle. “We don't tell people when people get banned from the library or why.” He said setting his cup down.
“But there was a sign a while back. You banned someone called Rainbow dash. It even said the reason.” She said making him laugh.
“That was to keep her out we were having a party. There have been many times when we had to ban people, the past mouth there's been like five.” He said making her let out a laugh.
“Wow. I was really worried you were going to tell everyone I was doing.” She said taking a sip of her tea.
“But I do have to tell Twilight.” He said getting some cheese cake.
“Hahe. You’re joking right?” She asked with the cup in front of her face. “Please tell me your joking.” She said pulling the cup down.
“Well I have to tell her. She's the head librarian. Everything has to go through her.” He said before eating the slice of cake.
“But you said you wouldn't say anything to anyone.” She said giving a stern look.
“That would be true but, she's in charge so I report to her.” He said with a shrug.
“But she’s not even here. Doesn't that make you the boss?” She asked with a pleading face. “You don't have to tell her.” She said making him nod.
“I can see what you mean. I kind of like the sound of that, Spike the boss.” He said leaning back in the chair.
“So you’re not going to tell anyone?” She asked making him nod. She let out a sigh and ate some cheese cake with a fork. “Well I'm glad thats off my plate.” She said leaning back in her chair.
“But I'll have to keep your underwear for insurance.” He said with a small grin making her blush a bit.
“A-Alright, is there anything else you want to talk about?” She said with a small smile the blush despairing.
“Nothing really, other than your punishment I didn't really need to talk to you, and sense I didn't have to punish you I'm not sure what to talk about.” He said taking a sip of his tea.
“Really, what are you going to do to me?” She said with a small blush and a growing smile.
“Well, when I was growing up Twilight always said 'An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.' From that one famous guy. But I'm not Twilight and I don't believe that.” He said before taking another bite of cake. ”Now I believe that people should be punishment. But half as bad as what they did depending how they feel about it.” He said before taking a sip of tea and cleaning his mouth out. “I was going to have you hand over your underwear whenever you come here.” He said making her face go complete red. “Just until Twilight gets back. I would have let you get your books. It would be your choice to come or not.” He said with a smirk looking at the up not seeing the smirk she was making herself.
“W-well it wouldn't be right to go against the rules and not be punished right?” She said making Spike look at her and raise an eye brow. “It wouldn't be fair to other people would it?” She said not meeting his gaze.
“That’s true. Are you saying you want the punishment?” He said making her nod a little.
“It would only be fair.” She said trying to look at him.
“That’s true, but if you want me to do so. Then tell me...” He said make her shake her head a bit. “If you want to be like that then I want you to tell me, while looking at me.” He said with a smirk. Man she was acting like she wanted it, this will be fun. She looked like she was trying to look at him shaking a little her face a bit red before she met his eyes.
“I want you to punish me.” She said slowly holding his gaze the whole time. The words rang out through the room reaching both of them making one smile and the other blush even more.
“Alright starting tomorrow whenever you come here you have to hand over your underwear.” He said making her nod.
“Alright. This is really good tea. What did you put in it?” She asked after taking a sip.
“Other than the tea there was that gem I put in.” He said making her look at him while normal color started coming back to her face.
“But I thought normal people couldn't eat them?” She asked making a confused face.
“Well normally that’s true. But you can break them up and mix them in things or you can suck them. Normal people can't just eat them like I can.” He said taking one out and biting it. Crunching the gem up he swallowed and ate the last bit. “I can add them to just about anything, I think it adds something to just about everything.” He said drinking the last of his tea to wash the gem down.
“I've never heard of that. I'd love to hear more about it but I have to get to the school and get ready.” She said getting up. “This was nice.” She said nicely as she picked up her jacket. “Do you think I can have some of this tea to go?” She said as he stood after her.
“Sure, I'll get a to-go cup. But...” He said before looking at her. “I'll be wanting the cup back.” He said making her turn.
“I'll bring it back.” She said before fixing her skirt. “Again I'm sorry about last night.” She said as Spike got a to-go cup from the kitchen.
“It's fine, really.” He said walking back in and setting the cup down and pouring the last of the tea in it. Without realizing it the cup almost overflowed making him drink some before stopping. “Oh sorry.” He said handing it over while rubbing his head. “I didn't realize what I was doing.” He said as she took it with a small blush.
“It's alright. It might be a little better now.” She said taking a small sip. She gave a wink at Spike before walking to the door cup in hand.
“C-Cheerilee, about your shirt.” He said making her turn with a small smile. “You should bring your shirt by I might be able to fix it.” He said making her nod.
“I'll bring it by some time.” She said walking to the door and opening it. “Do you think I can come by again sometime?” She asked making him smile a bit.
“You can stop by anytime.” He said slowly making her smile and walk out the door. “Bye.” He said as she gave a small wave as she left. Spike started to pick up the dishes to clean up but couldn't stop smiling the whole time but didn't realize until he was cleaning the tea set. “Crap.” He said with a sigh. ~ It had been a long five hours and Spike was now realizing just how hard with was going to be. But it was closing time and Spike could finally make some real food. Spike flipped the sign outside the shop and went to start cooking, he knew Scootaloo might show up any moment with her friend. He started to pull things out for the meal. Spike started to make the dinner throwing the apron he got for his birthday one year from Luna. She gave it to him as a gift along with a letter saying 'Just because something might look stupid doesn't mean it won’t work, and just because something might look girly doesn't mean you can't use it'. Twilight thought it was a nice gift and it was, he had this apron for the last six years and it really only needed to be cleaned in the washer. At first he thought it was a crappy gift and she only gave it to him because she didn't have a gift but he later found out she had it made by the same person that makes her cloths and she put an enchantment on it to grow as he did. He felt like an ass when he found out and sent a letter to her saying sorry. When his friends saw it they made fun of it for a week or so about have a heart on it with pink frill on the top and bottom. But after they found out it was from the princess they got quite fast. It wasn't long before Spike started using it whenever he cooked and most people who saw him in it had there laugh and went on with their day. It wasn't long before Spike had dinner prepared and in the oven, giving him time to make sure everything was in order. Spike was looking around not finding anything out of order, he pulled his phone from the apron and sent a message to Scootaloo about the date before there was a knock at that door. Spike put the phone back in the pocket and went to the door. Thinking it was the date he opened the door without a second thought with a smile.
“Dinners in the oven, and I found a movie for after if you want to watch it.” He said without looking who was there, by moving out of the way.
“Well this is unexpected.” He heard a familiar voice say making him turn. Spike was surprised to find Cheerilee standing there with the cup from before. “Who am I turning down food though?” She asked rhetorically as she stepped into the house.
“You’re my date tonight?” He asked as she walked past him and took a seat on the big couch.
“Well if you play your cards right. But that’s not why I came here. I just came to return your cup.” She said with a smile putting it on the table when his phone went off. “I like your apron.” She said as he pulled his phone out and chocked the message. 'She had to cancel family emergency.' The message read from Scootaloo.
“Thanks.” He said putting his phone back. “But it looks like I no longer have a date.” He said with a sigh.
“Oh well if you made too much food I can help.” She said with a smile as she leaned back in the chair. “I had to skip lunch today.” She said before of their stomach grumbled making them both let out a small chuckle.
“Well I did make a lot.” He said rubbing the back of his head. “And I don't want to have left overs.” He said before shrugging. “Well Cheerilee would you like to join me for dinner?” He asked putting his hand out to her.
“Such a gentleman.” She said taking his hand and got helped up. “I would love to join you for dinner.” She said being lead into the kitchen by his hand. As they made it into the kitchen the smell of stuffed mushrooms filled both their noses as they cooked in the oven. “It smells really good. Mind shearing what it is?” She asked as she took a seat at one of the ends of the table.
“It's stuffed mushrooms. One of the few dishes I'm good at.” He said checking on it dish. “I figured why not make something instead of having to go out and have to find a place and wait on other people to get food. Plus I won’t have to pay as much this way.” He said making her laugh a bit.
“Very smart.” She said putting her jacket on the back of her chair.
“Would you like something to drink. We have water, I can make more tea or I could even get some of Twilights wine if you would prefer it?” He said making her shrug.
“Well some wine does sound nice, will Twilight be OK with it?” She asked making Spike wave it off.
“She won't mind.” He said hopping on the counter and looking on top of the cabinets at the few bottle. “Do you prefer anything?” He asked looking down at her to see her undoing the top button before pulling her hands quickly when she saw him looking. She gave a small smile and a cute laugh.
“Sorry, just getting a little more comfortable.” She said waving it off. “Just get me whatever Twilight likes to drink with it.” She said having him nod and grab one of her red wine bottles.
“This one looks good.” He said hopping down from the counter and getting a wine glass. Opening one of the drawers he pulled the bottle opener out, Spike twisted the opener into the cork and pulled it out. “There we go.” He said placing the glass next to her and handing her the cork.
“You’re not having any.” She asked before smelling the cork and pouring a glass.
“I'm really aloud to drink without Twilight's permission.” He said when the oven went off.
“Come on, you already had to open the bottle.” She said as he pulled the dish out of the oven. Grabbing a heat plate he placed it on the table and moved to the fridge. “If she's going to be mad then at least have some fun over it.” She said as he pulled the salad and cheese.
“I guess I could have a bit.” He said placing the last of the things on the table. “But if I do... I want you to stay for a movie.” He said walking to the cabinet holding all of the drinking glasses.
“Trying to bargain?” She said with the same cute laugh. “I should warn you I bargain with kids you age about far less.” She said with a smirk then making a thinking face. “Alright then, if I watch the movie then I want you to bring me ice cream and a nice blanket.” She said leaning back and crossing her legs.
“What are we going to do? Snuggle.” He said making her shrug. “Alright then, I'll have a drink or two.” He said pulling a glass out and bring it back to the table. “Let’s eat then.” He said pouring himself a glass.
“Let's eat.” She said picking one of the three mushrooms. ~ The time went on and they both finished there meal, after Spike finished putting everything away they both made their way to the couch where he put the movie in and relaxed. It wasn't long before the movie began when it did Spike was quickly reminded that he had an obligation. Spike was glaring at her from across the chair holding his side after getting kicked with her what looked like school normal school heals. Hopping off the chair he ran up upstairs and getting his beds comforter. Coming down the stairs he found Cheerilee pulling off her high socks and putting them on the back of the chair. Spike started looking at her as he came down the stairs, she looked cute while she was like this. All the other times he had seen her she was reserved within reason, there were times when she acted different but he could look past that. If Spike didn't know she had been drinking he would ask what gotten into her, but he know what happen, she was drunk he had barely had a glass and a half when the rest of the bottle was drank. But he liked her like this, she was true, she wasn't try to put up a face or even keep him from seeing how she really felt.
“Spiiiike I'm cold.” She wined as he was walking behind the chair and put I over her.
“Do you want your ice cream now or later?” He asked as she got comfortable.
“Later. Come sit with me, I want some company.” She said pulling the blanket away inviting him into it. Spike kicked off his shoes and sat next to her, he felt the blanket fall on him and her lean on him.
“You enjoying the movie?” He asked as she pushed him to the arm of the chair and wrapped her arms around him.
“Yea but I don't think I'll make it through it.” She said as she moved her arms around his chest and putting her head on him. “You don't mind if I sleep here right?” She asked looking up at him there faces mere inches apart.
“Well it wouldn't be right if I made you leave how you are now.” He said having her put her head back down and rubbed it against him. Being in this position was nice the feeling of another holding onto him knowing they were right there, feeling there body move, feeling them breathe. He was sure that if anyone came in and saw them they would look like a couple cuddling enjoying each other’s company. Spike brought his hand down on her side sliding it up to her shoulder slightly rubbing it. She gave a slight moan as he did so and moved under the blanket pulling it over her legs that ware spread slightly. It wasn't more than half way through the movie when there was a soft snorer coming from her. He knew he couldn't escape from her grip and he wasn't sure if he wanted to. He felt the best thing to do was just lean back and relax.
Spike opened his eyes to find he had fallen asleep in the living room. Looking down he found he was still wrapped up with her blanket and all. She was still snoring lightly her head now close under his. He was thinking about just going back to sleep but he felt he needed to start the day. He wasn't sure how to wake her from sleeping but decided to nudge her head while whispering her name.
“Cheerilee... Cheerilee.” He said pushing her head lightly with his chin making her stir. “I need to get up.” He said making her rub her face on his chest with a grown. “You can sleep, but I need fix something up.” He said tapping on her arm. “Think you can let go of me?” He said hearing a grown before her arms loosened letting him slowly slip free. Popping free he stands up a few of his bones cracking from the pension. Looking back he sees her pulling the covers into a makeshift pillow. Leaning down he slowly pulled the blanket higher on her a small grin coming to her face as she snuggles down on the chair. With a small smile he walked to the window closing the blinds blocking the invading light. After checking the return box and checking about twenty books back in before feeling hungry. Making his way into the kitchen he made some eggs and ham, putting half on two plates along with two glasses of orange juice. Putting them on a tray he walking back to the living room he set the tray in front of her, before taking one of the glasses and plates and starting to eat. He ate his food in a bit of a hurry, watching her sleep while he did so, he wasn't trying to be creepy but he proble looked like it. Drinking the last of the OJ he put his plate down and made his way to the shower, once there he rounded some cloths up and jumping into the shower. ~ Cheerilee sat up in her 'bed' waking up from her sleep she felt rested, and hungry. Scratching her head she found she was still in his living room, pulling the blanket around herself she looked around the dark room for the food she smelt, glancing down she found the plate of eggs and a thick ham slice along with a glass of what looked like orange juice. Next to that there was a fork along with another plate and cup with a fork in the cup. She heard water running, thinking the plate was for her she picked the fork out and poked at the food and eating it.
“Well it's no breakfast in bed... but it’s still good.” She said as she staring the food. Cheerilee was really happy about all this, a nice diner, a quite movie, and a good night’s sleep. Then to top it all off someone made her breakfast for a change, she loved every moment of it. She was half way done with the plate of food when she heard the water stop up stairs. She stopped for a moment glancing at the stairs before going back to eating. After a while she heard a foot step, she turned to see Spike in the middle of putting his shirt. Within the moment she had to see under his shirt it looked like he had a six pack but it could be the light playing tricks on her. Turning her head quickly she made sure he didn't catch her looking.
“Oh you’re up. Did you sleep well?” He asked walking over to her making her turn her head and go to speak.
“AH YAE.” She said before coving her mouth when food came out making her face bright red. Spike chuckled while she tried swallowing the food in her mouth and speaking again, while her face got its color back. “Yea, best sleep I've had in a while. Thanks for the breakfast too.” She said raising her glass to him making him nod lightly.
“Well after how much you drank last night I guessed you could get something else in your system.” He said making her nod.
“I did have a bit much, didn't I?” She said rubbing her head that hurt a bit. “Well at least I didn't do anything too embarrassing.” She said with a chuckle. “I didn't right?” She asked when Spike started grinning when he sat down in the single seat.
“I don't know, how embarrassed would be if I said your ware trying to cuddle with me all night.” He said making her blush.
“I guess I should apologize then.” She said making him chuckle lightly.
“Well I never said it was a bad thing.” He said rubbing his hair. He gave a small grin as he leaned back and put his feet up.
“Oh well then I guess it was nice for me too then.” She said with a smile. “I have to grade some papers, so I think I should go. Ahm... Do you think I could do that here?” She asked getting up putting her plate and fork down. “It's just my house can get loud and it might take all weekend there.” She said with a smile.
“Oh of course, The library is a place where everyone can come and enjoy the quite.” He said throwing his arms out, making her laugh. “Sorry, Twilight makes me do that when people ask to use the library.” He said letting out a laugh.
“T-then I'll see you in a little bit.” She said with a bit of a chuckle. She walked to the before giving a shy wave and leaving. Picking all the dishes up he brought them into the kitchen and started washing them. He was almost done with the last of the dishes when her heard a faint knock coming from the front door.
“Be there in a minute.” He yelled rinsing the last of the dishes off before putting it on the drying rack. Quickly stepping to the door he threw it open without looking. “Didn't think you would be back so soon.” He with a smile before turning and seeing Fluttershy with a confused smile.
“Didn't think who would be back so quick?” She said before leaning to step inside before stopping making her care bag swing a little.
“Oh just a friend, they needed a place to do some work.” He said trying to wave it off. “You here to check on Peewee or something?” He asked waving her in letting her walk past him and look around the room.
“Yea, Twilight asked me to check on him. You don't mind do you?” She asked setting the bag on the table.
“No, it's cool. Peewee!” He yelled up the stairs. After a bit there was squawk and Peewee came flying down. He flew around the room once before landing on Spikes shoulder.
“This shouldn't be too long.” She said opening her bag and pulled out some gloves and a tongue depressor. “Peewee can you come here for me.” She said kneeling in front of the table. Peewee gave a flap glided down in front of her. “Say aww.” She said making him open his mouth letting her look inside. “OK, and open your wings.” She said putting her hands in her lap. Peewee spread his wings out letting her take a look at them. “Everything looks fine but he might start malting soon.” She said standing up just as he started picking at his feathers. “You wouldn't mind collecting them would you? Zacora said there good for lighting candles and some potions.” She said taking her gloves off and putting them in the bag.
“Sure. Want any water or something before you leave.” He asked making her nod slightly.
“If you have bottled that'd be better.” She said picking her bag up. “I have to get to the next house.” She said as he went to the fridge. “So is it strange having the place to yourself?” She asked as he walked in with two water bottles, handing one to her and opening the other.
“I guess I would say it was like the time I stayed at your place that one time. There's plenty to do in the day then I can just relax and do whatever.” He said before taking a sip of his water.
“That must be nice, helping the vet here can get tiring. But isn't strange not having anyone here at all?” She asked while pulling out a snake for Peewee who took it happily.
“People come by.” He said flopping down onto the chair.
“Oh your friends?” She asked closing her bag up as he took the last of the snake.
“Well, I wouldn't say friends.” He said with a shrug. “More or less.” He said as she walked to the front door, Spike following her there.
“That’s good. Well I have to get to the next place.” She said heading out the door.
“Alright, bye.” He said waving to her as she started walking away. Closing the door Spike looked around the room. “Where can she work?” He said finding hardly any space to work in. It wasn't the biggest place that was for sure. Not even when everyone was hanging out did they stay in this room. “She could use the upstairs room?” He said before picking a pen and paper to ask for permission.
'Dear Twilight would it be alright to us the upstairs room for a friend of mine?' He wrote before warping it up and sending it do her. 'Hopefully she gets back quickly with the massage, in the meantime he should clean this room up if she says no.' Telling Peewee to head up stairs Spike cleaned up the small mess which was just his water bottle and a few feathers. Pulling a paper bag out he went to place the feathers in it when he felt himself coughing out a letter.
'Dear Spike You got me at a bad time.(Not that you would know.) It's fine as long as they don't touch anything. Especially anything between 42A-42C. Will write later. Twilight (PS might help to move something’s.)'
“Alright, I better move something’s around then.” He said before rolling it up and putting it down on the table. Heading up stairs Spike went past the rooms and straight to the pull down ladder. Climbing up Spike found there to be a few piles of notes on some of the tables and a smell in the air was a bit unpleasant. “I should open a window.” He said walking over to the tables Spike moved some of the paper stacks down from the table putting them where they wouldn't be touched. After moving a few piles and clearing a few tables he pulled them over to an open space pulled a chair over. Opening all the windows Spike hoped there was plenty of time for the smell to leave. Looking around the room Spike felt satisfied with how the place looked and headed down stairs. Finding work Spike moved some book into their proper spots before hearing a knock at the house door. Putting the book on the table in the library he ran to the back door and opened it, this time making sure to see if it was her.
“Hay Spike.” She said with a warm smile. Spike didn't respond as his eyes trailed over her body and outfit. She was wearing blue jeans with a tie-die shirt that hide her chest well enough, in her hair she had a flower that made her look like a hippie with the shirt. With a cough from her Spike was pulled from his staring.
“Sorry.” He said shaking his head a little trying focus making her laugh. “You just look really different. Come on in.” He said letting her pass him so he could close the door. He didn't see it before but she was pulling a box with a lid on it.
“Thanks again for letting me work here. My sister was cleaning the house for her book club and that was the last thing I needed.” She said confusing Spike.
“There’s a book club here?” He asked as she set her box on the table.
“It's really just my sister and her old friends drinking and talking about the romance novel they chose for the month.” She said opening the box reveling it to be filled with papers. “Not really my kind of party.” She said with a little laugh.
“Really why not, I thought you liked those books?” He asked his a grin making her cheeks turn red a bit.
“Well that’s true but. Let's just say I wasn't as popular as my sister in High school, and I do like to drink but only at the times people normally do so.” She said as she pulled some papers out.
“True, oh you’re not doing that in here.” He said making her stop. “I have an even better place for you.” He said with a smile making her put the papers back.
“Alright then lead the way.” She said as she placed the led on top of the box, leading her to the stairs and helping her with the box they made their way to the ladder. Stopping for a moment to pull it down Spike went to say something when he heard a door open. Turning around Spike found the hall to be empty besides the box and table and vase.
“Ahhh hello.” He said before moving to his room. People didn't normally go in his room yea Twilight sometimes and maybe his friends’ once in a blue moon when they hung out there. It just felt strange to him for people to be in here. He was following her with his eyes and watching what she did in his room. She looked around the room touching some of the books on his shelf then moving on to some of the older toys he had from the past years. “Careful with that please.” He said as she picked up an old wind up dancing robot, which surprised her.
“Sorry.” She said before putting it down. “Is this your room?” She asked as Spike walked in stopping close to her, close enough to smell a light flower smell.
“Yep. This is where I spend my nights.” He said picking up one of the louse books.
“It's nice. I didn't think you would be one to collect things.” She said putting it down.
“Well, I'm not allowed to have a lot of things. Bad things tend to happen then I have an abundance of things.” He said with a sad look. “You might remember years back when a beast rampaged through the town.” He said making her nod. “Yea that was me.” He said making her let out a gasp.
“That was you, there was so much damage how didn't you get hurt?” She asked taking a small step back.
“Well the reason I went into the rampage was because I have dragon blood in me from my dad, and when dragons start collect things they tend to ‘mature’” He said with air quotes before sitting on the bed. “It was the reason it happed and why I wasn't messed up from the ruble.” He said with a sigh. “My skin's harder than you might think.” He said laying down.
“Wow... What was it like? If you don't mind me asking.” She said making him look at her.
“That's the one of the worst parts. It was like a nightmare, I had no real control over myself, the whole time I just tried keeping myself from hurting anyone.” He said turning away. “I nearly hurt my friends.” He said his voice cracking near the end.
“I can't try and pretend I know what you went through.” She said sitting next to him. “But it does sound like you’re still having trouble with it, I doubt it will help but... if you want to talk about it anytime I'm willing to lessen.” She said putting her hand on his. The room was silent for a moment as their hands intertwined. Spike throw his legs to the other side of the bad making him roll over to the other side.
“I think it's almost time to open the shop.” He said quickly making her pull her hand from the spot.
“Your rights, if I don’t start on that work now I won’t be able finish before dinner.” She said standing up and not looking over to him. “Do you mind if I use your rest room?” She asked before just walking straight into it.
“Yea...” He said as she closed the door behind herself. Spike walked back into the hall and picked the box up with one hand and climbed the ladder. Pulling the box up the last bit he slide the box over to the two tables. Looking around the room he was satisfied with how the room looked he took a whiff and found it smelled better. There was a creak of the ladder before Cheerilee walked up next to him her face a little red.
“I can really work in here?” She asked a little censored.
“Yea Twilight said its fine as long you don't touch anything over there.” He said before waving his hand over to the lab equipment.
“This is a lot of space.” She said looking it all over before sitting in the chair. “I might be able to finish a bit after lunch with this much room.” She said with a happy look while feeling the tables.
“Well I'm glad you like it. I have to get to work so call if you need anything.” He said before turning around and walking to the ladder.
“Alright...” She said before pulling a bunch of papers out. Spike was half way down the ladder when he heard her call for him. “Spike wait!?” She nearly yelled before her head popped out of the opening, making them both stop. There face ware closer than they thought only about a foot and a half away making it a little hard not to look into each other’s eyes. “Do you want to get some lunch later?” She asked making him stop and think for a second.
“Y-yea sounds like fun.” He said making her grin.
“Great, I'll come down around one then, and we can head out.” She said with a smile before popping out.
“Alright.” He said before stepping off and going down the ladder. Checking the clock Spike went to move past his room when he saw something laying on his bed. “What is...” He said before walking in and finding it to be cloth and a note.
'Rules are rules' It said in cute little letters making him look at the underwear. “Oh right.” He said picking them with a smile. Holding the cloth felt strange to him maybe it was because it was given to him. This one's ware a striped and white and black same as the others this ware boyshorts. Putting them in his pocket he turned and headed down the stairs. With a flip of a sign the library was opened and Spike was back to work with the books. _________________________________
Spike was sitting at the at the desk in the library turning in the swivel chair trying to escape the clutches of boredom when he got a message. Pulling his phone out he found it was only ten minutes until one. Finding it to be from Rarity he opened it, and began reading the message.
'Hay Spike. Do you think I can use your body for a bit tomorrow?' She sent confusing him.
'What?” He asked when he heard the sound of Cheerilees shoes making him stop the chair looking towards the door. She seemed surprised that he stopped looking at her.
“You want to head out now?” She asked holding a small brown purse.
“Sure. Let me just get a jacket.” He said standing up and heading to the closet. Opening the door he looked around before pulling one of his nicer jackets that was made for him. Throwing it on he went to the library door and locked it along with flipping the sign. “Do you have anywhere you want to go?” He asked as she joined her going to the back door to leave, when his phone went off.
“Well I haven't a good sandwich in a while. They make a good one in that café right down the street.” She said with a smile as they got near the door before Spike stopped her.
“Sound's good but... I think you should put this back on before leaving.” He said pulling the underwear out. She quickly grabbed them, like there were other people in the room and glanced around a bit.
“It does feel strange not having them on.” She said as her face started to turn red.
“Alright, but don't take long.” He said as she made her way upstairs letting him get his wallet and keys. Pulling his phone out he looked at the message.
'Sorry sounds strange when I re-read it. I have a customer that’s nearly your size, can you try on some of the outfits?' It read making more sense.
'Yea. Come by whenever.' He sent as he picked up so matching shades. Spike waited for a bit before Cheerilee came back.
“You ready?” She asked making him grin.
“I should be asking you. You’re the one who had to change.” He said making her blush some, when his phone went off again.
'I'll be by tomorrow.' She said making Spike take that as the end of the conversion.
“Well there's this fun rule here that makes me.” She said with a smirk giving a glance to him. “Let’s get going.” She said making them head out the door. Locking the door behind him Spike let her lead the way there.
They were about half way there when Spike spoke.
“So... how's the work going?” He asked as she café came into sight, the rustic look of the place was always nice to the eyes.
“Well...” She said with a deep breath. “I'm nearly done thanks to being able to focus. I'm not really used to doing all that work.” She said making him look over.
“Then how did you grade them before? Flip a coin?” He said making her chuckle a bit.
“No, I had an old student help with the papers. Come to find out people are paying them to give them better grades.” She said surprising Spike as they made it to the shop. Spike opened the door for her as they talked.
“Really. Hopefully no one I know.” He said making her wave it off as they stopped at a podium.
“No one you know.” She said as a waiter came up.
“Will anyone else be joining you?” The man asked pulling some menus out.
“No just us.” She said making him nod and motion to follow.
“Would you like a sit outside?” He asked as they came close to the door heading outside. Giving a look outside Spike thought of the pros of outside and inside in case she asked him.
“Well it's nice outside but... what do you think Spike?” She asked making them both turn to him.
“Ahh. There might be more privacy inside.” He said shrugging making her stair at him for a minute before nodding.
“Inside would be nice.” She said to the waiter making him nod and lead them to an open spot near the window. Placing the menus down he left saying he will send someone by in a moment.
“Alone again.” Spike said taking a seat across from her.
“Just how I like it.” She said with a smile. “Anyways let’s see what’s on the menu.” She said looking at the menu.
“Sounds good.” He said looking over his choices. After a moment he decided on the roust beef. “Found anything that looks good..” He looking up and meeting her eyes before she looked back down.
“Yea... yea I found something. I wonder if we could just order along with the drinks.” She said just as a waitress came up.
“Hello is there anything I can help you both with.” She said making him look up at her. Spike must have been staring because there was a hard kick to his shin from across the table, making him yelp.
“Can I have some lemonade and a Swiss club.” Cheerilee said making her nod and write it down with a small chuckle as he rubbed his leg.
“Alright and you?” She asked as she finished writing it all down.
“Can I have the roust beef and a Mr.Pip I guess.” He said looking at the drinks.
“Alright those will be right out.” She said taking the menus and leaving them.
“What the heck?” He asked making her look away.
“You ware starring.” She said putting her head up a bit still looking away.
“I'm sorry, but you don't need to kick me.” He said before avoiding another kick.
“Good.” She said with a smirk.
“My leg still hurts.” He said before hearing something drop and feeling a foot rub on his leg, her looking at him.
“Better?” She asked with a smirk making Spike blush.
“AH...Th..Th...The...” He stuttered as he foot rubbed up and down his leg where the pain had once been. He try saying what he wanted but after a bit he didn't have to when they spotted him.
“Look it's Spike!” Scoots said making him close his mouth and make her slam her foot down onto his making him yelp again. What Spike was trying to say was 'The Girls' witch anybody in this town knows how he was referring to. After a few moments Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell ware both sitting at the booth with them. “Hay guys, what are you guys doing here?” She asked making them go silent.
“Just meeting for some work.” Cheerilee said making them nod. “What are you girls doing here?” She said nervously.
“Well we were waiting for Apple Bloom, to look for jobs together but she has to work at the farm so now we can't.” Sweetie said as the drinks came.
“Here you are.” Our waitress said putting the drinks down. “And now you have company. Will you be joining them?” She asked looking between the two girls her eyes falling onto Scootaloo
“Oh I can think of a few reasons to stay.” Scoots said before hearing a thump and her yelping. “Rude.” She said looking at sweetie.
“Well... if there is something else I can get you that.” She said before pulling two menus out from the apron. “But if you’re willing to wait I can help you with the other thing when I get off.” She said before writing some numbers on a piece of paper and sliding it under her menu before walking away with a wink.
“Really can you not contain yourself in front of Ms.Cheerilee.” Sweetie said to Scoots who was just looking at the note and putting it into her phone.
“What... she doesn't care? Just ask her.” She said before putting her phone away.
“No no it's fine.” She said before sipping on her drink making me do the same. “Are you girls going to be staying or will you be finding your own place?” She asked a man holding two plates came by and placed the plates in front of us.
“Well that depends.” Scootaloo said before rubbing ageist Spike. “If Spikes not willing to share then we'll find another seat.” She said pushing on him trying to get a free meal. Spike looked over to Sweetie who he thought wouldn't be going along with this but just found her face to be just as conversing.
“Agh fine you can have it.” Spike said pushing it away to the girls who dove right in. “I'll just order another one.” He said going to raise his hand when he felt something rub his leg again. Looking across to Cheerilee he say he smile before pushing the plate over a bit. “Thanks.” He said low as he took half her sandwich and some fries. The rest of the time went alright enough that it aloud Spike and Cheerilee to relax.
“Well I have to go to the rest room.” Scoots said before getting up and leaving. Once she was gone the waitress came over and brought the bill.
“Just bring this up whenever.” She said before walking off.
“Maybe I should tell you now...” Cheerilee said making Spike look up to her with a grin that made him nerves. “I forgot my purse to your place. So I don't have any money.” She said making him a little mad but he just sighed.
“I did eat it too.” He said pulling his wallet out. “But...” He said before looking at Sweetie. “You guys ate mine.” He said making her smile and play with her hair.
“Come on Spike, it's not like you don't have a job. We don't have job's yet.” She said throwing the puppy dog eyes at him. He had to admit they used to work on him when he was younger but he could resist it for the most part.
“Just pay me back when you can or something.” He said putting some money on the bill as they went to get up. They were just about to the door when Scootaloo came up and joined us.
“Are we leaving?” She asked as she walked up.
“No we are just going to stand by the door.” Sweetie said making Scoots give her a death glare.
“Whatever. So what are you doing after this Spike?” She asked bumping him closer to Cheerilee, nether of witch moved.
“Work? I took some time off to eat, why?” He asked as they walk down the street.
“Wanted to see if we could hang out.” She said stretching her arms out as they walked. “Think I can hang?” She asked looking over to him.
“As long as you let me work, I don't care then, what about you? Do you care if she's there?” He said looking to his left where Cheerilee was walking.
“Oh ahh I don't mind. I'll be up stairs anyway.” She said as they walked. We were almost back when they haired Sweeties phone go off.
“Hello...” She said after looking at the phone. “Yea I guess I'm free... but sis... can't we do that later... fine I'm coming.” She said before hanging up and putting the phone back in her pocket. “I have to go help sis with an outfit.” She said sadly. “It's funny, Spike used to be at her beck an call and now I am.” She said with a chuckle.
“What do you mean Spike was at her beck and call?” Cheerilee asked making Spike nervous.
“That's right, you didn't know Spike when we was in love with Rarity.” Sweetie said with a small laugh. The rest of them were quite.
“Oh.” Spike heard to his left before hearing Scoots say something.
“Yea but that was years ago Sweetie.” She said before punching her. “No one want to here about that.” She said through her teeth while looking over to her.
“Fine but you didn't have to punch me.” She as they neared the library/house. “See you guys later.” She said before walking towards the Carousel Boutique. Spike gave a wave before pulling his keys out and opened the door. Walking in the girls fallowed behind him before he tossed them to the counter.
“So is there anything to do around here?” Scoots said as she just walked in.
“Something quite I need to work and so does Cheerilee.” Spike said giving a glancing over to the mail finding it to be empty.
“You could study.” Cheerilee said making her laugh. After a bit of it she finally stopped to meet her eyes.
“Oh you weren’t joking. I'm good I can do that tomorrow.” She said waving her off.
“Fine if you don't want to pass the test this Friday that’s on you.” She said before going partway up the stairs. “I'm going to finish that work and I'll be down.” She said before going up the rest of the way. With a small laugh Spike went back into the library and flipped the sign again. Throwing a small glance to the return box he found there to be a few books so he set out to put them back where they belong. After a bit Spike had retaken his place behind the desk, and Scoots had found a spot on one of the chairs.
“I'm bored.” Scoots said flipping through one of the books.
“Hi bored, I'm Spike.” He said with a smile making her grunt.
“Shut up.” She said before looking over to him. “Hay Spike.” She said making him look at her. “What's going on with you and her?” She said making Spike get a bit nervous.
“What are you talking about?” He asked making her grin.
“Well, Sweetie might be blind but I know what people look like when there attracted to each other.” She said making Spike nervous. “SO I'll ask again. What's up with you and her?” She asked getting a mer-mer out of Spike.
“It's ahh it's... I don't know what it is.” He said looking down slightly.
“So you don't know what it is?” She asked making him nod. “So what DO you want?” She said making him shrug.
“I don't know. I just... It's nice to be around her, and It's nice to talk to someone as an equal.” He said moving his arms around a bit.
“What do you mean as an equal'?” She asked making him shrug again.
“Well I'm not trying to be rude but... you guys aren't as smart as me. I feel like me and her can just talk. Without needing to explain things.” He said feeling a little bad about what he said.
“OK first of all. You are smarter than us, sometimes when you talk even Sweetie Bell doesn’t know what you’re talking about. And second of all, Spike you like her. Maybe you just don't want to admit it, have you thought of that?” She asked making him shrug.
“Maybe your right. I’m scared that if I say anything I'll scare her.” He said slowly turning on the seat.
“OK, but what are you scared to say?” She asked making him stop looking at the wall.
“That I'm... I like to be around her.” He said with a smile, her not able to see it at all. There was a silence which felt weird, she was asking questions left and right and now she just stopped. There was the sound that Spike couldn't place as he was deep in thought. On one hand if he does say something they might find more time for each other, but on the other hand she might not come back around. Spike went to look over to Scoots when someone else caught his eye. “Cheerilee! How long have you been down here?” He asked quickly making her look at him oddly.
“I just got down here. Are you alright?” She asked making him nod quickly.
“Yea I'm fine. Do you need help with something?” He asked as he looked down, finding her holding case.
“No, I-I just wanted to say good bye. I'm done with the papers and I wanted to thanks. It would have taken all day, maybe all weekend. So thanks.” She said with a smile.
“No problem.” He said with a nervous smile. There was a slight silent where Spike looked over to Scoot who was making a pulling in motion.
“Well I'll see you later.” She said as she went to turn.
“Cheerilee...” He said at a near shout, making her stop and turn. “Do you want to have dinner here... with me?” He asked making her stop moving for a bit.
“Just us?” She asked before Scoots said something.
“I might be there if that’s alright.” She said cutting the tension a bit.
“Yea us.” He said before she nodded.
“Alright then I'm going to get something better to wear.” She said with a bit of a kick in her step. Spike had a smile on his face as he heard the door open and close.
“Did you hear that?” Spike said excited, a little to excited for Scootaloo.
“Yea I heard. She's coming by tonight, you need to calm down.” She said making him breathe a bit. “Your acting like your about to have sex. Alright..” She said making him look at her. “First how about you think of something to make.” She said making him look down in deep thought. Spike was lost on what to make, he couldn't think of anything.
“I have no idea.” He said still drawing a blank.
“OK... maybe take out then.” She said making him look down again. “Just order pizza or something, your acting like you've never been on a date before.” She said making him stay quite. “Spike you HAVE gone on a date haven't you?” She asked making him lower his head even more, “Have you even kissed a girl?” She asked making him look up and raise a finger. “Other than the time the four of us had that sleep over and played truth or dare.” She said making him put his head down again.
“Well I just haven't felt like asking anyone out, and it's not like any other girls have stood out to me.” He said at a near yell. “You can’t get mad at me for not being like you.” He said making her step back and sigh.
“I guess you’re right. I know you know how to treat a woman so the next question... do you know how to pleas one?” She asked making him cough a bit.
“Well I know what to.” He said making her pat him on his head.
“Well that can't be helped.” She said sitting down. “Alright lets be straight with each other, you watch porn right? Or at least seen some?” She asked making him nod. “Alright what kind?” She asked making him look down his face getting slightly red.
“Well most of the time I have some magazines. But if Twilight goes out I might watch a video if I can.” He said making her nod and gave a wave of her hand.
“Details...” She said making him shrug.
“I don't know, I like girls I guess I don't really like seeing other guys. I feel like there too rough.” He said making her nod.
“So girl on girl then?” She suggested making him nod. “I think the easiest way to explain it is girls like to be touched, and you might be thinking is of course they do but I'm talking about teasing them. Most of the time I'm taking lead and girls don't really mind. Normally guys are the ones who take charge and I doubt she's going to stop you. Now I want you to come over here.” She said making him get up and walk over with a concerned face. “I want you to hold me and I'll show you what to do.” She said made him slow down as he went to sit.
“Alright, now what?” He asked as he sat next to her. Spike was a little surprised when she placed herself in his lap.
“You’re most likely going to be behind her, so we can start here.” She said as she leaned on him making him feel a bit strange as his hands found her crossed legs. “This is also the easiest way over all, there aren't many spots you can be in that you can touch all over the body.” She said before putting her hand on yours which ware still on her legs.
“Is there anything I can do to start?” He asked as she took his hands.
“Well you guys are just starting to even talk so if you guys do end up like this just keep your hand on her side.” She said moving her hand on the sides. “Now if you want to go any further then this you can either wait for her to lean into you which means you can slid your hands either down her legs.” She said moving his hands to the side of her legs and inward slightly only to stop just on top of her legs. “Or you can bring your hands up.” She said pulling your hands up to just under her brest. “Any questions?” She said looking back at him his face being quite red.
“What does this have to do with teasing?” He said turning his head slightly to avoid eye sight.
“Everything is teasing if you know how to do it. But you have to remember Spike, not to play with her too much. Some girls can get impatient and try to hurry things up. Don't let that happen.” She said pulling herself out of his lap. “Another thing is what this all does, you might not relies it but this will get her body going in ways other than making her wet. Most of the time girls bodies tend to tighten up during foreplay, which means she'll be tighter when you go to go in her.” She said making him nod.
“So you really don’t care that her and me are talking?” He asked making her look at him.
“Where did that come from?” She asked making him shrug.
“I don't know, but you don't find it strange that her and me are talking, she is your teacher and I'm your friend.” He said making her shrug.
“I don’t really care the only strange thing is she’s a bit older then you. That's really it.” She said making him blink.
“That’s right she’s the same age as Twilight and the others. I never really thought about that.” He said looking down again.
“That doesn't really matter right now thought, what, matters is are you going to make food or are you going to order it?” She asked making him shrug.
“What kind of food does she like?” He asked making her think.
“I know she likes lemon.” She said making him look down and start to think. After a bit he stood up and went to the top shelf, pulling one of the cooking book out he flipped to the page he was looking for.
“What about this?” He said showing her the page which had fried lemon chicken breast on it.
“That could work. You have everything here right?” She asked making him look at the ingredients again.
“No, I need the chicken.” He said looking at the book reading what he had to do. “Do you think you could get that for me?” He asked looking up at her.
“Yea, I guess.” She said as he walked in to the kitchen and got some of the money off the fridge.
“Here this should help.” He said handing the money over. “And if you are going to stay for dinner then get four chicken breast if not then three.” He said making her look at the at the money.
“Ok what size should I get?” She asked making Spike look at her chest.
“Your size.” He said making her face crinkle. “Little smaller.” He said as she started walking away.
“You know for someone so nice you can be rude some times.” She said before opening the door.
“What it's so you know what size you’re looking for.” He said making her flip him off as she left. With a smile Spike turned and headed for the kitchen to get everything prepared. __
It had been almost an hour and Spike was finishing the chicken, it looking almost as if it was made in a restaurnt and smelling just as good. To be honest he was a little out of it. When he was cooking he had heard her come in and it sounded like she had some things with her. She did come in for a moment but left after she said 'Hi'.
“Alright its almost done.” He said behind himself as he cut up the chicken and moving over the plates along with some steamed vegetables. He heard them walk in with soft footsteps, picking the plates up on in each hand and one in the middle of his arm which was hard to balance. Setting the plates down in the table in front of them. Spike locked eyes with Cheerilee and stopped for a bit before hearing Scootaloo cough.
“Spike you don't mind if I take my food to go right?” She asked making him look at her.
“No it's alright just give me a second.” He said picking her plate up and going over to the place where they keep the tupperware and move it all over to one. “Here you go.” He said before walking her to the door.
“Thanks I got a text and a guess the girls want to hang sense we couldn't earlier.” She said as she took the food.
“It's cool, but you’re not going to say anything to anyone right?” He asked in whisperer while leaning in.
“Don't worry. I'm not going to tell anyone.” She said making him calm down as she opened the door before a smile crept on her face. “Other then the girls.” She said before closing the door behind herself.
“Scoots!” He yelled before opening the door before after her only to catch her flying off. “It's alright it's just the girls.” He said before going back inside, locking the door, and walking back to the table where Cheerilee was at.
“Everything alright?” She asked as he came back in the room,
“Yea everything’s fine. Do you want something to drink?” He asked making a smile come to her face.
“I brought something today can you get some glasses.” She asked pulling a bottle out of a bag that he hadn't seen before.
“Sure.” He said before moving to pull some glasses out. “I guess it's nice that she’s gone. We can relax a bit more now.” He said making her chuckle a bit.
“It does feel a bit less tense.” She said looking at the bottle with her eyes half open. “So what did you make? It smells really good.” She asked placing the bottle on the table and looking down the food.
“It's called fried lemon chicken.” He said placing the glasses on the table and uncorking the bottle. “I hope you like it.” He finished as he started pouring her a glass.
“It sounds really good too.” She said as he took his seat and poured his glass. “I'm sorry about yesterday.” She said making him look up to see her looking at. She was looking at her glass with a thoughtful look.
“What are you sorry for?” He asked making her look at him, her face turning into a smile.
“I drank most of the wine, then I started acting silly.” She said making him wave it off.
“It's fine, really I was happy that I got to see a side of you I haven't before.” He said with a smile making a small one come to her face as well. “How about a toast?” He said lifting his glass, having her do the same.
“To good food.” She said with a smile and lifting her glass a bit as well.
“And good drink.” He said doing the same before they nodded and took a sip of their glasses, this wine was a bit more bitter but was still enjoyable. This dinner went a bit like the last they talked a bit made jokes with each and enjoyed each other’s company. It was coming near the end of both their meals when Cheerilee brought something up.
“Spike what do you think of me?” She asked with a worried look. Spike wasn't sure what to say he didn't want to say something that might hurt her.
“I don't know how to answer that.” He said making her look down. “I guess if I had to put it in to words I would say fun, exciting... easily enjoyable.” He said without thinking, looking up he found her having a large grin. “I guess you’re happy with my answer then.” He said making her nod.
“Yea, is it alright if a save the rest of this? We had a late lunch.” She said making him nod.
“I don't mind, we did eat a few hours ago.” He said picking his plate up then moving for hers. Moving the food into some move food containers Spike placed them in the fridge and turned back to her. “Do you want to stay and watch a movie?” He asked as she stood up.
“I really should get home. My sister asked me where I've been when I got home. But I don't know what to tell her.” She said as Spike walked over to her. She looked up at him as he stopped in front of her, he didn't want her to leave but he didn't want to so it.
“We haven't finished the bottle yet you know.” He said making her look over at it.
“That’s true.” She said as he took her hand to help her up. “Maybe some other movie this time?” She asked picking her glass up.
“Sure, I'll set it up then.” He said as she leaned up to his ear.
“I'll get a blanket.” She whispered into her ear before heading off with a smile and a chuckle. A smile came to his face as she went off only for him to follow to the main room wear the movie was. Spike looked through the movies trying to find the right one, he pulled out an old Sherlock Holmes movie, with a shrug Spike put the movie in finding it to be one that just started without a tittle screen. Pausing it he let out a sigh and got up, moving to the kitchen he picked his glass up along with the bottle. “What's taking her so long?” Spike said as he walked back and placed the bottle and glass on the table, he flopped down onto the chair but soon leaned back forward to get his glass and poured it until it was about three forth full.
“I got one.” He heard from behind him making him look. He saw her holding one of the thinner sheets that was in his closet, but what really caught his eye was what she was wearing. She had changed into what looked like a nightgown, she was wearing pajama bottoms that had yellow flowers on it above that she had a light purple tank top. Spikes eyes looked over her body as she walked up the movement of her legs to the slight bounce of her hair. “Did you find a movie?” She asked as took the seat next to him only to move closer right after.
“Yea, I found an old Sherlock Holmes movie. Hope you don't mind.” He said as she laid the blanket on the both of them.
“No, it sounds good.” She said having him start the movie. It was a bit into the movie before she spook up again. “Ah Spike?” He heard making him look over to her. “I'm a little cold. Is it alright if I get a little closer?” She asked making Spike nervous.
“Sure. You can get as close as you want.” He said making a little grin move to her face. It wasn't the easiest thing to do but when it was all said and done they ended up intertwined in each others arms. Spike had his arm just above her waist while she had her arms around his mid-rift and her head resting on his shoulder. “Better?” He asked making her rub her head on him a bit before looking up.
“Yea, your warmer then I though you would be.” She said making him blush a bit.
“Well I hope that's not a bad thing.” He said before she closed her arms tighter.
“No that just means I know who to go to when there’s a storm.” She said before a small blush came to her face. ~ Then the movie started to get intense the two of them seemed to pull each closer, as the movie went on they both drank and wondered what would happen next up until the end when Sherlock unraveled the entire movie. ~
“That was better than I thought it would be.” Spike said as the movie came to an end.
“Yea, I think older movies are always the best. They always are a bit more originality.” She said as she slowly pulled herself off of him.
“That’s very true. Well I think it’s time for bed. I get a real free day tomorrow and I want to have a good night’s sleep.” He said as he want to get up but stumbling a bit.
“Really it doesn't look like you can even make it there.” She said with a sigh.
“You alright?” He asked making her look at him.
“Yea. But can I have another blanket? I don't want to go home and it's still a bit cold down here.” She said pulling the blanket up.
“Oh you can have my bed then.” He said making her look down while messing with her hair.
“I can't take your bed. It's yours where would you sleep?” She asked making him shrug.
“I can sleep here or in Twilights.” He said making her lean back.
“It's alright I'll just sleep here.” She said wrapping herself up in the blanket and putting her head down.
“Naw.” He said before leaning down and picking her up making her yelp, as he moved away from the couch she started to move around in his arms trying to get away.
“Spike, stop, put me down.” She said as she was carried away. “Please Spike it's fine I don't mind.” She said making him stop when they reached the stairs.
“Are you sure you’ll be alright down here?” He said making her nod. With a small grin Spike nodded and said. “Then you'll be great upstairs.” He said making her grown.
“Fine...” She said as he walked up the stairs. It wasn't the worst feeling to Cheerilee being held, cared for, cooked for, and waited on. She liked what it felt like, and the best part was she thought he felt the same.
“Here we go.” He said as they reached the foot of the bed. “Your place of rest for the night.” He said with a grin. As he went to set her down he found that she was griping his shirt. “You OK?” He asked making her look away slightly.
“Spike can we make a deal?” She asked confusing him.
“What kind?” He asked making her mumble. “What, I couldn't hear you?” He asked before leaning in closer.
“Can we sleep together?” He heard her say a bit louder this time. He was confused even more then before not knowing what to say before he thought of something.
“Whats the other side of the deal?” He asked making her turn a bit with a thoughtful look.
“I-I can make breakfast tomorrow.” She said making him think before shrugging.
“Alright, but you need to lay down right now then.” He said before putting her down on the bed. After a moment she let go and Spike walked away to the rest room. After a bit Cheerilee moved under the covers before she heard what sounded like a tooth brush turning on. To her it felt like forever before she heard the sound stop and the light turn off in the rest room along with the one in the room. After another minute or so she felt the covers get pulled up before he joined her in the bed as well. She could tell he was looking in her direction because his hand brushed along her back and hair. She rolled over trying to stay in the same spot, after that she was almost face to face with him there eyes locked in the dark room.
“Hay.” He said making her look down a bit trying to avert his eyes.
“Hi.” She said making him chuckle a bit.
“You know I never got to ask. How do you feel about me?” He asked making her tense up a bit.
“You want the truth?” She asked making him nod a bit. “When I'm around you I feel like I'm on a cloud, one that takes care of you and makes you happy.” She said as a blush came onto her face one that he could see even in this darkness. After a bit Spike turned so he was flat on his back and put his arms behind his head.
“Hm...” He said making her feel worried. The two didn't say anything else the rest of the night, the two laid in the bed gently being brought to sleep.
