> Melody of the night > by DoctorSerious > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: The mysterious blue dragoness > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Melody of the night A little stone was kicked away. A figure, wrapped in a hoody, kept walking forward, kicking away anything he saw. It was a purple dragon, young and strong. But also naïve and weak. He was angry, depressed and lonely on this cold night. Many ponies were asleep already, but his mind was wide awake. Not only that, he didn't feel like sleeping this night, not one single bit. Twilight had told him to come back before it got too late, but he didn't care. No, he didn't care one bit. All he wanted was some time of his own. A sigh escaped his mouth, making clouds of warmth in the cold air. This was sure to be a lonely night. Everything was pitch black, only dim lights of the moon could be seen. His legs kept on pushing him forward, to whatever he could find at this time of night. He could use a drink to relax him a little. Some cider maybe, or perhaps a strong cocktail. Yeah, that sounded reasonable. But he wasn't looking for a bar filled with ponies, he needed his interaction with his 'type'. But no luck, all he could see were ponies in the bars. Drunken, brainless ponies, doing whatever their hearts desired. One mare bumped into him, giggling loudly and nearly falling over. "Hey theeeere, big dragon boy~..," she started. "You look like a strong one, do you want to prove that..~?". All he did was shrugging her off, as he continued to walk to whatever he could find. She just looked angry and yelled at him, swearing all the way. He hated ponies who did that, trying to seduce him. Even though he knew why, after all he was a muscular teenage dragon, he still hated how the reacted. "Ugh...". He quickly shook his head, trying to forget it. More walking, endless walking. His depression grew and his anger started to reach it's peak. He quickly did a punching motion he learned, and some kicks just for good measure. He liked it, anything martial artsy that is. He learned it from observing plenty of ponies practicing it and he wasn't really the nicest dragon in the world. In fact, he got into a lot more trouble lately, ever since Twilight became a lot more motherly to him. Ooh, and let's not forget the sudden bursts of his puberty. After practicing it for a little moment, making sure that their were no ponies around, he continued to walk. The night felt a little less cold now. Even though he was cold blooded, his blood felt a little warmer now, not really sure why that was. Martial arts only made him sweat when he was working on it intensely. Suddenly, he heard a unique bit of music. He remembered this song, he heard it from time to time when he crossed this particulair bar: Proudnies. He didn't really like the play on words, but the music here was always unique, never the same happy music you would hear everywhere. No offence to Vynil Scratch and Pinkie Pie of course. The inside of the bar was pretty barebones when it came down to furniture, only a few tables to stand at and a few stools to sit on. But he prefered it this way. There were a suprising amount of ponies tonight, a little suprising considering this was a quite cheap place. But when the next singer popped up, it was no suprise why there were more ponies than usual. To his suprise, a female dragon came out of the curtains, wearing a shining dress, made out of emeralds. She had light blue scales, red calming eyes and a suprising amount of long, silky smooth hair. Not to mention, her nice set of... He quickly shook his head, blushing a little. Then he quickly looked at her again. She was gorgeous, something every dragon boy would fight for. "Hello, everypony," her soft introduction began. "My name is Emmy, and I want to sing you all a song tonight. I hope you enjoy it.". Many ponies started to clap loudly and some of the stallions started whistling at her. The music began to play. It was, once again, a unique type of music. "I know you think that, I should still love you, or tell you that~" she sang. He was completely taken back now, his heart leaping. Her voice was beautiful, the calmness of her voice made him forget anything else, other than her. "But I will go down with this ship~" she continued. The more and more she sang, the more the room full of loud ponies began to calm down, and eventually, mares were dancing with stallions. The room became one giant love room. He kept looking and listening to the female dragon, taking in every word she spoke. He nearly started to drool at the sight of her, she was just too beautiful. But eventually, his eyes slided to her chest again. He quickly looked away again. But time and time again, his eyes stared at her tracks of land. She looked at him for a moment, and he stared back. Their eyes connected, as she continued to sing. The eye contact was quickly cut off as she began singing at her best. His eyes watered now, her song pushing away all his depression and anger. He was in heaven. "I'm in love, and always will be...~". As she sang those final words, a huge applause came from the audience. She bowed to them, smiling shyly. "Thank you, everypony. It was great singing to all of you" she said, sounding a even more innocent. His heart practicly melted now. Goddamn, she was so amazing. He tried to walk after her, but was stopped when he stepped on the stage. "Hey, you wanna sing too? That's alright, youngy!" an old pony said, pushing him in front of the microphone. "Huh? NO WAIT!" he tried to yell, but it was too late. He now stared at all these ponies, waiting for him to sing. "Umm... hi, my name is Spike..," he began. "And.. umm... I will sing a song for you...". A small group of ponies clapped for him, but most were quiet. The band started to play. Spike shut his eyes, waiting to sing a song he didn't knew, there were so many they did after all. But to his suprise, he heard a slow, weird sound coming from the band. It was his song, the one he always recognised. And so the song began. "I saw a picture of you, hanging in an empty hallway..." he began. He hoped it sounded good. To his suprise, it wasn't good. It was fantastic! As he continued to sing, many ponies looked in amazement as his voice filled the room. Many started yelling at him in excitement, encouraging him to continue. And he sure did. "I can't turn this around~". More yells came from the audience. "I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker~". He kept on singing until he was finally at his favorite part. "Let me out of this dream, dream... let me out of this dream~!" practicly giving his greatest singing voice at the end. Many ponies went nuts, yelling at the top of their longs. And as a last finisher, he sang: "I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker". The song had finally ended. Good, because he was exhausted. All ponies clapped wildly, whistling and complimenting him. The female dragon came on stage and now the applause became loud enough to make somepony deaf. Spike and Emmy looked at eachother for a moment, and not long after that, they both bowed together. Both dragons walked out of the bar, being waved by many of their fans. "Whew, that was one hell of a night..." he sighed, trying to comfort himself around Emmy. "Mhm, you are a great singer by the way~" she said, giving him a smile. Spike smiled back, trying to focus on her eyes, instead of... you-know-what. "But not half as good as you." he replied. She giggled a little, not long before locking eyes with him again. He did the same. Spike felt Emmy's hands slide over his own, making him shiver for a little moment. She looked at him with puzzling eyes, clearly thinking about what she should do next. Both looked at eachother for a little while. Spike was the one to break the silence. "Where do you come from? I've never seen you around here before.". She looked away for a moment, than met his gaze again, looking slightly sad. "I... ran away from some dragon," she explained. "He tried to harm me, and I didn't know anyother place to go but here..." Spike suddenly had an uneasy feeling at the way she looked at him. "Who? Who was that dragon?" he asked. He didn't got a reply, but at the sight of her eyes, he knew he shouldn't have asked. It was silent again, but this time just for a moment, as three stallions walked out of a bar. "Heeeeeeeey, you see that cute little dragon over thare? I'm gonna ask her to spend some time with this hunk of stallion~" the largest of them exclaimed, making it obvious that he was drunk off his ass. The stallion walked up to Emmy, trying his best not to fall over. "Heeeey there, good lookin'~" he said in a seductive tone. "You don't think that dragon boy can satisfy you, right? Only a true stallion goes to such... 'length'~". He laughed pretty loud at his own joke, but Emmy just snorted at him. "Please, leave me alone. I'm not interested." she said, sounding completely uninterested. But the stallion didn't take 'no' for an answer. Instead, he grabbed her hand violently and tried to give her a sloppy kiss. Luckily, Spike intervened. He pushed the stallion away, sending him to the ground. "HEY! Who do you think you are!?" the stallion yelled, standing up and getting surrounded by his friends. "I think it was clear the lady didn't want to go with you, so I made sure you got it through your head." Spike replied, trying to sound intimidating. The group was less than impressed. They quickly surrounded him, making sure he couldn't escape. Spike took a quick fighting stance, creating enough distance between him an his attackers, if they would ever strike. But even then, his nerves were of the charts. He had never fought before, other than sparring with Rainbow Dash, who was a great teacher at karate, but that's all. The first one attacked with a stomp to his stomach, but Spike quickly dodged it, grabbed his arm and threw him off balance, knocking him to the ground. This went well so far. Eventually, after a little struggle and many, many hits from the stallions, Spike came out victorious. Gasping for air, he hold his side, where a pain stang heavily. The group ran off after a little while, but not before yelling at him, trying to hide their pain. Emmy quickly walked towards Spike, helping him regain his footing. "Ooh my dear gosh, are you okay, Spike!?" she said, sounding incredibly worried. Spike gave her a little smile. "Don't worry about me, I can handle it. How about you?". She put her finger on his lips, silencing him. All she asked was: "Where do you live?". After arriving back at Twilight's house (or library, whichever you prefer), Spike laid down on his bed, sinking in the softness of it. His hoody tossed aside, his bruises came out more obvious. Luckily, Twilight was asleep already and after complaining for such a long time, he was allowed to have his own bedroom. Emmy sat on the side of the bed, smiling a little nervous. "Do you think Twilight will be angry at you for having me stay here for a little while?" she asked, blushing slightly. "Naah, I think Twilight would like the fact that I found a dragonessfrien-". But before he finished, he stopped, realising what he just said. An awkward silence came over the room, both dragons looking in opposite directions, blushing crimson. At long last, Emmy began to sit closer to Spike, resting her head on his shoulder. "Thank you, Spike, for helping me with those stallions..." she sighed happily. Spike froze at the feeling of her head touching his shoulder. "N-no problem..." he said, stammering a little. Once again, it was quiet. Suddenly, Emmy began to sing another song, but this time a tune Spike never heard. "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside~". Her voice filled the room, but also Spike's heart. "So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do~" she continued. More and more of her voice echoed through the room at a calm, soothing pace. Spike felt ever muscle tense, even though it hurt, because of the bruises, he still couldn't control it any longer. He felt himself getting hot now, more and more as he looked at her, the most beautiful creature he could ever meet. "Yours are the sweetest eyes, I've ever seen~". A little tear came from Emmy's face as she spoke these words, looking into Spike's green eyes. He looked back, sinking himself into her red eyed gaze. She continued to sing the song for a little while, still resting her head on Spike's shoulder. All that he could do now, was listening, trying to contain himself. But then she spoke words, those few words. "I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind,hat I put down in words. How wonderful life is, now your in the world~". Spike lost it. He pinned her down, holding her in place. Emmy looked at him in shock, nearly screaming a little as she looked into his lustfilled eyes. "S-Spike...?" she stammered, sounding kinda scared. Spike just looked at her with hungry eyes for a moment, panting a little. But once he regained his sanity a little, his eyes widened and he quickly sat away from her. "You idiot...!" he whispered to himself. He looked down at his hands, knowing he had fucked up the great romantic moment with her. To his suprise though, he felt her hands wrapping around his waist. "It's alright, Spike. It's okay...". She kissed him in the neck, causing Spike to shiver at the feeling of Emmy's hot, wet lips on his scales. They connected their eyes once again and they kissed. It started out as a calm kiss, but quickly became more agressive as their tongues met eachother. Both explored eachothers mouth in a perfect rhythm, not long before Spike felt her hands slide over his chest and his belly. He did the same, forgetting about her breasts entirely. She moaned in his mouth at the sudden touch, making Spike more and more aroused. After more kissing and touching, they finally broke it, a trail of saliva dripping from their tongues. Spike was breathless, but he also felt more alive than ever. Emmy looked at him with pure innocence, making his heart melt even more than when she sang. Her dress flew off of her, revealing her entire body to him. His eyes widened as he saw her slick, roundly curved body. He licked his lips with anticipation and Emmy gave him a chuckle. "Ooh, you sillyhead~" she giggled. Once again, their lips locked together, ready with another kiss. But this time, Emmy pushed Spike down, laying on top of him. Spike was a little suprised, but quickly closed his eyes and kissed back passionately. Every curve of her body he could feel now. His hands slided over her back and her butt, making her moan with delight. Her breasts connected with his chest, sending jolts of pleasure through him, making him hard. His dragonhood became erect as the kissing and touching continued. For a moment Emmy stopped, wondering what that weird device was that touched her thighs around her dragonesshood. As she saw it was his dragonhood, she dismounted for a moment with suprise. "Ooh! ...Umm...". Spike, now realised what had happened, tried to cover his most private zone. A blush appeared on his face. Emmy blushed as well, now knowing what had been so close to her private zone. "Ooh, am I that good to you, Spiky Wiky~?" she giggled. Spike looked at her for a moment. "Only Rarity would call me Spiky Wiky..." he whispered. "Who's Rarity?" Emmy asked, hearing his whisper just enough to make it out. He looked worried for a moment, but decided not to lie about it. "I... had a crush on a pony when I was younger," he told her. "But when I grew up, I started to understand some things will change, for the worst or the better. And my love for Rarity was-". But before he could continue, Emmy kissed him on the lips for a brief moment. "I understand, Spike. You don't have to say anything anymore." she said, calming him a little. "Thanks, Emmy..." he said, feeling a positive feeling in his belly. Suddenly, Emmy removed his hands, which covered up his nether region, and started stroking his dragonhood. Spike gasped as he felt it being stroked. It was like rubbing silk across it, so soft and tender, yet still able to get a respons out of him. "Emmy, I..." he tried to say, but was cut of by a sudden ecstasy parade. Emmy's tongue licked the tip of his erect dragonhood, making it harder with each lick. The licking went on for a little while, before she began surrounding her lips around his tip and began to slowly suck the length of his dragonhood. The room now filled with moans and grunts, instead of the romantic song that Emmy sang just a little moment ago. Emmy continued to suck on his dragonhood, taking it further into her mouth each time. Spike was loving this, her wet mouth milking his cock everytime she bumped her head up and down. She enjoyed it as well, licking the base everytime she reached the bottom. But the ecstacy became too much for Spike, he felt he could explode at any moment. "Emmy, p-please stop... I'm gonna..." he said, sounding desperate. She got off him with an splashy pop, looking at him with the same innocent eyes. "Mmmm~. Your delicious, Spiky~" she said, licking her lips. Before Emmy could say anything, Spike had pinned her down. She looked with slight suprise at first, but soon gave him a little smile. "I don't want me to have the only fun~" he said stroking her hair. He began to kiss her again, but not long after that, he began to move to her neck. Emmy moaned as Spike's lips trailed all over her scales, making her shiver as well. The kisses moved downwards, reaching her breasts for a moment longer. She giggled as she felt her breasts being kissed and licked. Spike moved down from her chest towards her belly, kissing and licking all the way through, leaving a small trail of saliva on her scales. Not long after that, he reached her thighs. The suddenly smell of arousal reached his senses, and he looked between her thighs. Emmy quickly blocked it off though, blushing crimson. "Heh, a little scared, are we?" he chuckled. All she did was look at him with half closed eyes and nodded lightly. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. In fact, I want you to feel the same as I did, just a moment ago~" he said. Emmy closed her eyes for a moment and slowly removed her hands from her inner thighs. As Spike saw her fully exposed, he felt his dragonhood reach it's peak. Her slid was so pink, it would rival Pinkie Pie's colour. Beats of love juice came from it, making it look all the more inviting. After taking in the scent for a moment, Spike lowered his head and connected his lips with Emmy's slit. It was like stabbing her with a dagger, she nearly flew off the bed with a cry as soon as he touched her. Quickly grabbing her thighs, he held her down and began to lick her slit slowly en delicately. As he did, more juices came out and more moans erupted from Emmy. The deeper he went, the more he got back. After doing this for a little while, increasing his speed and deepness along the way, he now focused on the little nub, just above her slit. This was the reaching point for Emmy to literally scream in pleasure. "Spike...! I-I-I'm gonna...!". But before she could finish, Spike unleashed everything he had, causing Emmy to completely lose it. She yelled out his name as she came, letting her love juice soak up Spike's face and bed. Spike was a little taken back as she came over his face, but he continued to give her everything he had. After a long moment, she laid there, panting. Spike wiped of her love juice with his bedsheet and lay down on top of her. They both gave eachother a kiss, this time with control and calmness. Not before long, Emmy broke the kiss. "Take me, Spike... I want you...". Her eyes were glinstering with small tears, making Spike weak with emotion. "Don't worry, Emmy, I will...". They locked their mouths together again and Spike lined himself up perfectly. But before he continued, he asked her one last thing. "Is this your first time?'' he asked. Emmy looked at him with calm eyes, and then she smiled. "Yes, my little Spiky Wiky, you are my first...". Spike smiled back and replied: "You're my first too... And you know what? I'm glad it's you...". Spike's dragonhood touched the soaking wet lips of her slit. With a tiny push, he found himself going inside her. But not long after that, he felt something blocking her entrance. It was her hymen. "You sure you want to do this...? I don't want to hurt you." Spike asked one last time. "Please, Spike... I want this... I want you... I love you..." she said, sounding more and more desperate. Spike nodded to her and kissed her. "I love you too.". He pushed himself into her. He could hear her trying to hold in a scream of pain, but luckily for the both of them, he tore through her hymen, ending both their virginity. He gasped at the sudden shock of pleasure he felt of her inner walls squeezing his dragonhood. She whined as she felt his length filling her up completely. For a moment, nothing was said or done. Spike looked at his dragonhood and her slit, seeing a trail of blood coming out of her dragonesshood. "Emmy are you ok-". But before he could finish, she pulled him in for another passionate kiss. Yes, she was more than okay. The love making began. Spike slowly moved out of her, feeling more and more pleasure through his thighs and his dragonhood. After a little moment, he slid back in, causing Emmy to moan softly. He continued going in and out of her for a little while, increasing his speed and deepness continuously. "Spike... please come closer for a moment..." she asked him. As he came closer, she quickly turned them over, sending Spike to the downed position. "Now... it's my turn..." she panted. Emmy began bouncing up and down atop of him, sending more and more shocks of pleasure through him. She quickly increased her pace, making Spike grunt with pleasure. As many more minutes past, many different positions used, Spike was once again the one above. Now holding Emmy closer than ever, and she did the same, he went as fast as he could. He panted loudly together with her. Emmy nearly screamed with the amount of pleasure she received. "More, Spike...! Give me everything, big boy...!" she encouraged him. Spike gave every last ounce of his strength, feeling a familiar feeling coming back. "Emmy, I'm... I'm gonna cum...!" he shouted. She looked at him with wanting, but tender eyes. "Do... it... give me every last drop...!" she replied, whining loudly as her own familiar feeling came up again. "Aah...! Spike, I'm gonna cum too...!". Spike kept on going and going, feeling himself getting more tired and tired. Emmy screamed wildly as she orgasmed for a second time. The inner walls of her slit tightened around Spike's dragonhood as her love juices poured out all over Spike's cock and his thighs. This was the peak of Spike's pleasure, as he now unleashed his own orgasm, screaming out Emmy's name. His semen shot into her womb, causing Emmy to scream with him.Their shared orgasm seemed to continue on for ages, but at last, it had finished. It was quiet now, only pants could be heard in Spike's room. Both dragons panted loudly, sweat dripping from their bodies. Spike rolled of Emmy and both laid there for a while, looking at the ceiling and both taking in the heat of the room. Soon, Emmy laid her head to rest on Spike's chest, purring like a little kitten. She smiled, feeling the warmth of Spike's body. Spike smiled as well, petting her head. "I love you~" he said, planting a kiss on her forehead. She looked at him with the innocence he had fallen in love with. "And I love you too, Spiky Wiky~". After a little while, Emmy was sleeping with a huge smile on Spike's chest. Spike looked up and smiled, and sang one last song before falling asleep: "When she was just a girl, she expected the world~". And so he sang about his and her Paradise. Emmy woke up after he was done singing. "Ooh, I'm sorry if I woke you up..." he apologised. "No, that's fine~" she giggled, kissing his cheek. "But next time, let's sing together, okay~?". Spike nodded with a smile. "Of course, Emmy~". > Chapter one: Realization > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: Realization Before we start, thanks to Crimson Valor as he/she helped making this story look better, as well as taking out some spelling mistakes I made. The morning sun came up, shining the entirety of Spike's room. He got the sun rays straight in his eyes, waking him up. As he blinked, he grumbled. Why did the morning never leave him alone? He still was so tired. With an annoyed yawn, he opened his eyes. For a moment, he lay there, clueless about what was going on. He felt something resting on his chest, and as he peeked to see what it was, he saw her again. She mumbled in her sleep, probably still thinking about their night together. Spike laid back for a moment, smiling a little at the thought of last night. But not long after that, he started to realise something. He slept with somedragon; he slept, with somedragon… Some dragon. His eyes became wide as he realised it now. He slept with a dragoness! Usually he would scream how lucky he was, how awesome it felt, but all he did was panicking. "Why did I do something this stupid!?" he whispered at himself. He grabbed his head, trying to supress the memories, but they were real. He did it with some dragoness who he just randomly met! And without any freakin' protection! WHY!? As he kept panicking, he felt the head of the dragoness wake up. The panic increased ten folds as he tried to fall asleep again, but he was too late as her gaze met his. "Ooh, good morning, Spike~" she smiled. "G-good morning, Emmy.” He felt her head nuzzled against his cheek, causing shivers to run down his body. "Did you sleep well~?" she asked, still smiling. She nearly seemed like an endless supply of happiness. "Y-yes, I did," he replied, trying to sound as casual as possible. "How about you...?" he asked back. He didn't get the answer he was expecting, she deeply kissed him. This continued for a while, Spike relaxing a little, but still freaked out by what happened last night. "I slept okay, but I missed our first night together..." she said, sounding a little sad. But her smile quickly returned. "But now we can have more fun together~. After all, we are married now~" she giggled. For a moment, it was silent, but Spike finally reacted by dropping his jaw as far as was possible. "M-M-M-MARRIED!?” "Yes, silly~" Emmy replied, kissing his far open mouth. "And I'm so lucky it's a great singer like you~.” She moved on top of him, still kissing him passionately. Spike could only join, as he was stunned by that one word. He was married now!? Not that she is not beautiful, but he nearly knew nothing about her. All he knew was that her name was Emmy, she could sang, she ran away from some dragon and she was very cheerful. But that was all, nothing about her past, her parents or even where she came from. But all these thoughts were cut off as he felt her hand stroking his dragonhood, instantly erecting it again. He moaned and blushed at the pleasure he received as she continued to stroke it. She giggled as she saw his face, blushing a little herself. The bed sheets were thrown off, fully exposing their bodies. "Let's have some more fun, Spiky Wiky, just like last night~." she smiled. "After all, I love you~". Spike looked at her for a moment, giving her an awkward smile. "A-and I love you t-" Spike was interrupted when he heard a hoof steps coming his direction "Spike, could you be quieter when you have a good dream? Somepony here wants to sle-" Twilight complained, but when she saw Spike and Emmy, she froze solid. Both dragons looked back; Spike's eye pupils went tiny with shock. Emmy looked puzzled, but finally said: "Don't worry, honey, we can continue later.” The group now sat around the dinner table, Emmy eating a sandwich, Twilight observing her and Spike hiding his head in shame. "You've got some explaining to do, Spike..." Twilight said with an irritated voice. Spike looked at her with an apologetic gaze, but there was no sympathy in Twilight's eyes, only anger. "I'm sorry, okay Twilight?" he said, scratching his head wildly. "But... but... I couldn't let her go alone last night, she seemed so lonely-". He got cut off by Twilight's hoof hitting the dinner table. "By sleeping with her!? Don't try to talk yourself out of this one, Spike!" she shouted, daggers flying out of her eyes and voice. Emmy looked up from her sandwich, giving Twilight a dirty look. "Don't be mad at my Spiky, he did nothing wrong to me!" she said angrily. Spike was a little surprised at this, hearing Emmy angry. Twilight wasn't impressed. "Don't try to help Spike, miss. His still in a lot of trouble." she replied, sounding irritated how the dragoness started to argue with her. "He's my husband now, so leave him alone!" she exclaimed, hugging Spike, forgetting about her sandwich. Another silent moment, but not for long as Twilight started to giggle a little. Not long after that, a hearty laugh came from her. "A-are you two married!?" she laughed loudly, trying to fight away tears of laughter. Emmy didn't care, she only hugged Spike closer. "Yes, he's my husband.” Twilight continued to laugh loudly, but after looking at Emmy and Spike, her laughing turned into surprise. "Wait... you're not joking about this?" she asked. Emmy shook her head, kissing Spike's cheek. Spike was so surprise at this sight, getting hugged by a beautiful, but mysterious dragoness and a Twilight who was surprised at the sight she saw. "Uhuh..," Twilight remarked. "Well, what is your name than, miss? Might as well know the name of my daughter-in-law if you two are married.” Another laugh emitted from Twilight. "The name is Emmerain Renterance Ice, Emmy for short," she explained. "Or I was, until I married Spike over here~". She kissed him on the mouth, making Spike gasp. "I prefer you do not do this in front of me..." Twilight sighed. Emmy nodded and took Spike upstairs again, smiling. Spike tried to hold on to anything, but got pulled away from any safety. "AND ABSOLUTELY NO MAKING LOVE IN MY HOUSE!" she yelled. Spike sighed happily as Emmy did not do that to him when they were upstairs. Instead she started to sing another song. "I see you before me, you see me before you~". . Spike looked at her for a moment, sicking in her lyrics. "Fly away together, far away for ever~" she continued. "Chocolat, chocolat, you make me feel~. Chocolat, chocolat, so sweet and pure~.” The room filled with the song. Spike felt his muscle relax at the beautiful song. It was so sweet and nice, just like 'chocolat'. He sat down on the bed, still listening to her amazing voice. She kept singing and singing, smiling all the way and meeting Spike's gaze from time to time, giggling at him. A small portion of the song he couldn't quite make out, but he was sure it was a love confession. After a little while, the song had ended. Spike clapped his hands for her, and she bowed down. "Thank you~" she said happily. She sat down beside Spike on the bed and kissed him on the cheek. "You really like my singing don't you~?" she asked. He nodded. "You have an amazing voice! Everydragon or pony would fall in love with such...” But before he continued, he stopped, meeting her gaze for a moment. Why did this all feel so right, yet so wrong? He felt like he knew her for years, but he knew he only met her last night. Emmy spoke up. "Can you sing me a song now?" she asked him. He looked up for a moment, and then gave her a smile. "Sure thing." he said, feeling a feeling of happiness in his belly. "Splash down in the silver screen, into a deep, dramatic scene~", he began. Emmy closed her eyes and smiled brightly. "Like a kite in the bright midday, wonder stole my breath away~". He looked at her while he sang this, feeling his heart burn inside his chest. “‘Cause I couldn't live without sunsets that dazzle in the dusk~". The song continued for a little while, filling up the room after the previous song. "Dreams don't turn to dust! ~" he ended the song. Emmy squealed and wrapped her arms around him. "That was amazing, Spiky~" she said happily, tears dripping down her face. Spike quickly wiped them of her face. "Hey, why are you crying?" he asked, sounding a little worried. "You just have such an amazing voice~," she squealed again, hugging him tighter. "It's so beautiful! “ He hugged her back, his own tears appearing at the sides of his eyes. They stayed like this for a while, letting each other relax for a moment. When they tears were finally gone, Spike faced Emmy. "Emmy, I want to ask you something..." he began. “What is it, Spike?” Spike looked at the ground for a moment, now feeling an uneasy feeling in his belly. "Why... are we married?” Emmy looked at him in surprise for a moment, but then smiled at him. "Because we made love together~" she said, sounding like her usual happy self. "But, that doesn't make any sense," Spike said. "We just met each other and... we did a dumb thing last night-". But as he said this, Emmy looked at him, now puzzled as well. "What? You didn't enjoy last night?" she asked. He knew he enjoyed it, she knew he enjoyed it so was there any point in lying about this? "N-no, I enjoyed last night, but..," he continued. A pleased smile appeared on Emmy's face. "Then why are you complaining then, silly head?" she giggled, petting his head. "Well... first of all, we didn't use protection," he began again. "Plus, don't we have to have a wedding to get married? I mean, that seems logical to me...” Emmy gives his nose a playful poke. "Of course not, Spike~. It's all part of the ritual~." she said. The sun now shone throughout the whole room, glistering brightly. "Ritual? What ritual?" Spike asked, sounding more and more worried about what he got himself into. "Well," Emmy began. "The legend goes that 'A dragoness with an icy voice is born in a family of Ice Dragons. She has to find a dragon who can resist her icy touch, so a burning passion arises in her. They have to travel to find the Elder Dragon, who has to be awakened by the Melody of the night'. And I'm that one dragoness, and you are the dragon who resisted my icy touch~" she smiled, kissing his cheek for the how many time. Spike looked puzzled for a moment, and then turned to Emmy with a questioning face. "That story sounded like a story you read to little dragons before they go to bed..." he replied, sounding uninterested. “But it's the truth!" Emmy said, holding Spike's face in her hands. "If we don't awaken the Elder Dragon, all baby dragons will be in danger! And we cannot let that happen now, can we!?” Spike saw that she was serious about this. But he still couldn't believe it was that simple, or that such a dumb legend existed. "Okay, but what's with this 'icy touch'?" he asked, Emmy grabbed a flower, which hanged in Spike's room. As she kissed it, it turned into ice. "Ooh, that explains everything..." Spike gulped. He could have turned into something like that too. "You see, Spike? We are destined to be together~". She hugged him tightly and kissed him. He fell back on the bed, kissing her back. What has gotten into him? Why did he love her so much? It must have been magic, right? But could dragons use magic? How was he resistant to the 'icy touch'? Why did he have so many questions? He couldn't process any thoughts now, as he now focused more on Emmy. Both continued to make out for a little while, but at last their kiss broke, a small trail of saliva dripping from their tongues, just like the night before. And the weird part was everything felt like the night before like the night never existed even though both dragons still remembered it. Ooh yes, they remembered every last bit about it. He felt her hand stroking his chest and belly, soon ending between his legs. He gasped for a moment as he felt the pleasure running up his spine again. "Emmy, we really shouldn't, or else we'll get into a lot more trouble." he said. Emmy looked at him in disappointment. "Awww, just a quickie, pwease?" she whined, looking at him with puppy eyes. A sigh later, Spike nodded. "Fine, just a quickie.” The dragoness dove in, kissing him again, but breaking it in an instant. She started to grind her slit against his dragonhood. More pleasure started to build up between the two, Spike getting an erection and Emmy getting soaking wet. She continued this for a little while, moaning in pleasure all the way. Spike began to move his hips with her movement now, making Emmy giggle. After a little while, she stopped grinding and positioned a top of him. "Okay then, Spiky Wiky~. Let's do it~" she smiled, as she started to lower herself on top of him. Spike felt the lips of her slit touch his dragonhood, making him gasp. She kept lowering himself, all the while whining at the pleasure she got. Finally, the two dragons were connected. The pleasure was almost too much for Spike, but he held on, waiting for it to sink in. But he didn't get the chance, as Emmy began bouncing on top of him. They both moaned at the amount of pleasure they received. Emmy soon increased her speed, now closing her eyes and whining loudly. She lowered her chest to meet Spike's, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. The love making continued on like this, until Spike slid his hand over Emmy's chest and belly, making the same motion as she did to him. But he felt the same nud he felt last night, and he started to rub his fingers up her sensitive clit. She cried out in pleasure, more love juices squeezed Spike's dragonhood. He gasped as he felt this, but continued to rub her, wrapping his other hand around her neck and now moving his hips with her movement again. Emmy couldn't handle this type of pleasure any longer, and she grabbed Spike's neck as tight as she could. "Spike- I-I'm gunna...-" she tried to yell, but Spike quickly locked her lips with his own, silencing her and helping her relax. Spike's own familiar started to swell up as well. For a moment longer they gave everything they had, but at last, both unleashed their orgasms, Emmy screaming in pleasure in Spike's mouth. Spike held her tight, holding back a scream of his own. Their shared orgasm went on, but eventually ended, with Emmy falling off, now laid beside him. Both panted loudly, sweat dripping from their bodies. Spike couldn't believe it, this felt just like last night. He met Emmy's gaze, giving her a calm smile and she returned it. "I love you, Spiky~" she smiled, kissing him on the lips once again. "And I love you too..." he replied back, kissing her back. He couldn't care about anything else now; all he cared about now was her. After a moment of rest, Spike was putting on his clothes, a simple t-shirt with some baggy pants. "Ooh, you don't have any clothes, do you Emmy?" he asked, knowing she only had the dress with her. But he couldn't find her, until she emerged from his closet, wearing some of his clothes. She looked completely adorable, wearing a tiny t-shirt with trousers, which were a little too big for her. Well, not even that, they just kept slipping of. Spike chuckled at this sight, then grabbed a belt and connected it to Emmy's new found trousers. After they were dressed, Spike went downstairs again, holding Emmy's hand along the way. Twilight was reading some books, as usual. Luckily for Spike, it wasn't one of his learning days. He was free today, plenty of time to figure out all about this weird ass legend. And let's not forget his martial arts training with Rainbow Dash, after all, she promised him. Both dragons walked through PonyVille, all the while looking how the town became alive. Spike didn't have a nice breakfast yet, so he quickly went to buy some bread with some loose money he had. He shared this with Emmy, who still seemed rather hungry for someone who had a sandwich not too long ago. Both dragons didn't say much, but mostly looked how PonyVille looked in the morning. Finally they arrived at the dojo, where Rainbow Dash was waiting. "Hi, Spike! Glad you could make it so quickly, I was starting to get bored senseless here" she laughed. "Here I am, so let's begin with today's training then!" Spike replied, cracking his knuckles. Rainbow looked a little confused as she saw another dragon besides Spike. Spike realised this and quickly stepped aside a little to let Rainbow see the dragoness fully. "Ooh, right, this is Emmy. I met her last night and she didn't have a place to stay, so I invited her to stay with me for the time being.” Emmy nodded, and added: "Yep and we are married too~". Rainbow looked in surprise, and then gave Spike a weird look. "Aha...” Spike face palmed for a moment. Why, Emmy? Why did you have to say that again? Luckily, Rainbow didn't seem to be taken back by this. In fact, she smiled. "Well, let's get started, Spike~" Rainbow said, trying to hold back a little laugh. Good, finally something to unleash himself in that didn't turn into another sexual adventure. Once inside, he quickly put on his karate suit. He wasn't that far yet, only a green belt, but he sure did his best to get higher and higher. Emmy watched as he changed into his suit, all the while smiling at him. "Hey, Spike! Hurry up, slowpoke!" Rainbow exclaimed, Of course, he was being slow today. He quickened his dressing, nearly tearing the clothes. After a few seconds, he sat there, in front of Rainbow Dash for the usual ritual. After a short greeting, Rainbow began to explain the basics of movement, how it affected his punching and kicking. Spike listened closely, but got distracted by Emmy. All the while thinking about last night. Suddenly he felt Rainbow's powerful hind hoof crash into his stomach. Coughing filled the dojo, as Spike grabbed his stomach and tried to get new air in his lungs. "Pay more attention, Spike. You can re-unite with your girl later on." she chuckled. Spike didn't laugh; he only started to get irritated by the fact that more ponies began to think that they were married. They were not married, at least not official. Emmy seemed to be quite worried at Spike, still gasping for air. He quickly faced her and gave her a small not, telling her he was gunna be fine. She brightened up a little, giving him a different smile this time. The training continued, as Spike began practicing his punches and kicks, all the while being looked over by Rainbow Dash. She corrected him many times, because he was just so distracted. Rainbow had enough. "Spike, are you sure your girl for life should be here when we train? Not trying to be rude but..." Rainbow began, but then her face into a sinister smile. "You, girl, what's your name?" she asked Emmy. "My name is Emmy~" she smiled back. Before she could react anymore, Rainbow pulled her by her hand. Spike looked confused for a moment. "Okay, Spike," Rainbow began. "Let's do a little 'role playing' here. Emmy here is the victim and I'm the attacker and you are her knight in the shining armour.” Spike saw as Rainbow took a fighting stance before Emmy, smiling all the way. She quickly moved towards Emmy, who took some steps back. "Umm, Spike? Is this part of your training?" Emmy asked him. "N-no..!” Spike now realised what Rainbow Dash was about to do. But she wouldn't be that stupid, right? He was proven wrong as he saw her front hoof lifting up, ready to hit Emmy. Emmy started to look frightened now. "S-Spike...?" she stammered, getting more and more afraid as Rainbow came closer. "Get moving, Spike!" Rainbow exclaimed, and she made a punching motion towards Emmy. “SPIKE!” Then it was quiet for a moment. "Heh, nice one, Spike..." Rainbow chuckled. There stood Spike, blocking the punch that was meant for Emmy. "S-Spike...? You okay?" Emmy asked him as she could clearly see his face, filled with small tints of anger. "Yes, I'm fine," he replied, sounding a little angry. "You okay?” Emmy quickly nodded at Spike, and Spike pushed Rainbow Dash away from him. Rainbow laughed a little. "Good job, Spike. I knew I could get your attention somehow.” “By trying to hurt somedragon? That's not very nice, Rainbow...” Spike was starting to become angry now. How dare Rainbow Dash do such a risky thing, without hesitation no less? Rainbow looked at the wall for a moment. "Spike, karate is not something to use against others, it's something you use for yourself and others. And you perfectly showed me when you protected your girlfriend there." she explained, pointing at Emmy. Her eyes became a little less wise now, and looked with small concern. "I'm sorry for doing this to you, Emmy. But I'm pretty sure Spike wouldn't concentrate during this training." she said apologetically. Emmy was still slightly frightened, but gave her a small smile and a nod. The training continued now, Spike feeling himself getting more and more excited. Emmy really had shown him that, even though they both didn’t realise it. He continued the training all day, all the while being cheered on by Emmy. At the end of the day though, Spike was still exhausted, and so was Rainbow Dash. "Good job, Spike. Remember, tomorrow there is no training. I still got to train for the next Flying Competition." she said, but not long before adding with a squeal. "So I can finally join the Wonderbolts~!” Both dragons waved back at Rainbow Dash as she flew off to her cloud home. The night was starting to fall, and Spike could hardly stand on his legs. "Let's go home, I really have to take a nap." he said to Emmy. "Of course, Spiky~" she replied with her usual happiness. She gave him a quick hug. "You know, when Rainbow Dash attacked me like that and you jumped in front of me," she began. "I felt just like last night, when those stallions started to surround you. You saved me again...” The moment turned more and more into a scene you would see in a romantic movie. Spike gave her a smile. "I simply can't stand any dragon or pony to be hurt. To be honest with you... I'm... kind of ashamed about the fight last night." he said looking at the ground. For a moment it was quiet, but then both dragons heard a flapping noise, probably coming from a pony. At least, that's what Spike thought. Emmy, on the other hand, looked shocked as she realised what it was. "You, 'Dragoness of Icy', you shouldn't be here. Why aren't you in the Dragon highlands?" a deep, quite loud voice spoke. As Spike turned around, he looked at a gigantic dragon, probably three times larger than him. The dragon was a darker shade of blue, wearing some sort of armour, which looked quite uncomfortable. "And who is this small dragon?" he spoke. Spike didn't know is it was braveness or stupidity who took over for a moment. "The name is Spike, and who might you be?” It was probably stupidity as he now stared into the dragon’s eyes, which were shooting fire. "None of your business..." was all he got out. The dragon now faced Emmy, who was hiding behind Spike. "I'm only here to take this dragoness back.” But Emmy clung around Spike's waist. "I won't go back, I don't want to." she said, sounding frightened. The dragon wasn't gunna take 'no' for an answer. "Very well, than I'm forcing you to take you back..." he spoke, sounding more intimidating by the minute. His huge claw reached out, but Spike held it there for a moment. "N-no, you cannot take her back.” He tried to stand as tall as he could, but he knew his size wasn't gunna help him in this. The dragon laughed loudly, nearly knocking off some potted plants in the windows. Many ponies had seen the dragon land in their town and now gathered around him at a safe distance. "And who's gunna stop me, you?" he laughed, knocking Spike off his feet. Spike looked at the dragon, quickly standing up. "N-no! I won't let you take her away for no reason!" he exclaimed. The dragon was losing his temper, now giving Spike an angry look. "I guess I just have to make sure you just vanish then..!" he spoke loudly, readying himself for something. Spike wondered what it could be, but then his eyes widened as he saw the dragon readying himself for a fire blast. But before the preparation was complete, Emmy jumped in. "You won't, because we are married!" she exclaimed for everyone to hear. The dragon instantly stopped charging up his attack. Spike looked at Emmy with irritated eyes. Did she just had to exclaim it in front of Everydragon and pony? "I see..." the dragon said, sounding a lot less intimidating. Spike was taken back how the events changed so quickly. Emmy explained everything to the dragon and he seemed to understand everything she told him. "Then I'm sorry for intervening with your..,” He quickly looked at Spike. "Partner.". The dragon began to flap his wings, ready to go back to wherever he came from. But Spike wanted to know what was going, or at least know who this dragon was. "You still haven't told us your name!" he said. No clear answer was given, only the words: "Come find me when you cross the Dragon Highlands on your journey.” Finally they arrived at Twilight's house. They both snuck in and went to the bedroom. When they got in, Spike quickly faced Emmy. "Look, Emmy, I know we are married and all, (Even though it doesn't make any sense) but can we just sleep tonight? I'm really tir-" he tried to say but she quickly pushed a finger on his lips. "Then I still want to know how much energy I can squeeze out of you~" she giggled as she kissed him passionately. He pushed him down on the bed and continued. 'Why...?' Spike thought to himself. > Intermission: Paying respects. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intermission: Paying respects. The night was still young, as Spike lay in his bed with Emmy resting on his chest again. Once again, they had done it. And even though he was tired beyond believe, he couldn't sleep. His mind raced, thinking about something that had struck him ever since his first night with his 'wife'. A small sigh echoed through his room. "Forget it..." he whispered to himself. He quickly stepped out of bed, making sure not to wake up Emmy. Quickly grabbing some clothes to put on, he sneaked downstairs, being careful not to wake anyone. But before he could reach the door, he heard a questioning voice behind him. It was Twilight. "Where are you going, Spike?" she asked him, wondering why he wasn't sleeping at this time. "I... need to pay a visit..." he replied, sounding a little depressed. He didn't wait for Twilight to say anything, as he opened the door and went for a little walk. The night was once again, suprisingly tepid at this time. But then again, he couldn't care right now. All he did was walking, walking until his legs were reduced to ashes. The bars all seemed pretty full tonight, many ponies walking in and out. Spike quickly looked away as a group of stallions and mares looked at him. He heard them giggle and laugh, wondering if they were laughing at him. Not much care was giving though. All he wanted was to reach his destination, a place he used to go very often. But now that he had met Emmy, that visit was sealed for everyday. As the walk continued, so continued the endless sounds of bars, filling with more and more ponies. He accidentally bumped into somepony. "Please, excuse me for bumping into you..." he said in an apologetic rush. "Spike~?" a familiar voice said. He quickly looked up to see from who that familiar voice was, but he didn't see anything. All he saw, was a lampost he had bumped into. Now loud giggles and laughs could be heard. Spike turned around to see a mare and a stallion, laughing at what had happened to him. He quickly continued to walk, embarrassed by his own stupidity. He finally arrived at where he wanted to go. As he opened the front gate, a stallion came over to him, holding a shovel on his shoulder. "Hey there, Spike. Long time no see." the stallion said, with oldness cracking his voice. "Hello, Stone. It's good to see you again...". The stallion gave him a quick smile, but turning it just as fast to a more serious expression. "You here to...?" he asked, waiting for the answer he was hoping for. "Yes, I'm here for 'that'..." Spike replied, his voice lowering in more depression. Stone nodded and pointed out to Spike to not walk through the grass, only the small, muddy road. Spike gave him a quick nod before moving onward. The place was cold and creepy, many unnerving sounds coming from the trees around him. A piece of music I listened to while I wrote this Intermission. He arrived at where he wanted to be. It was a rock, a very special rock. He kneeled down in front of it, trying to smile a little, which didn't work. "Hello again..," he began. "I know it's been quite some time I was here. But... ever since I... met this dragoness, I couldn't stop thinking about..." he gasped, feeling his nose tickle and his eyes burning a little. "Us...". For a moment, it was quiet, only the waver of leaves could be heard. Then Spike spoke up again. "Our... times..." he said, nearly crying. "Where have they been? All those times that we've been together...". The moment was now broken with small whimpering noises coming from Spike. "Why... why did you had to be there... WHY!?" he screamed, clamping the rock in a tight embrace. "WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!? WHY DID YOU HAD TO BE... TAKEN AWAY BY MY RACE, MY FAMILY!?" he continued to scream, tears now flowing from his eyes. "YOU WERE SO PURE, SO GRACEFUL, SO... SO...". He stopped for a moment, taking a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. "So... Rarity..." he cried. The night was cold now, sending shivers down his spine. "Why, Rarity...? Why did you had to be there...? I was so happy ever since you took my gem... and now... I will never see it around your beautiful neck anymore..." he stammered, trying to gain control of his emotions. "Please, return to me, please Rarity... please... p-p-please...?" he tried to say, but soon crashed down on the rock again. He continued to cry on the rock, as it finally took it's shape. It was a tombstone, with ribbons and gems covering it, making it shine in the bright moonlight that shone above it. And on the tombstone, there were the words: Here lies our beautiful and generous friend, sister and lover. Rarity. May you rest in peace in perfect Harmony. And as a finishing touch, there it was. The only thing Spike had left of her: The golden necklace with the ruby, formed in a shape of a heart. "Goodbye, Rarity... I love you..." Spike spoke, leaving her tombstone behind as he now walked towards the exit of the graveyard back towards his home. > Chapter two: Love as a flame. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter two: Love as a flame. Authers note: Yes I have those now apperently. Chapter is a little shorter, mainly due to the fact that There isn't much to write about right now. The newer chapters will be longer, so don't worry about that. Also, no music in this chapter. The night was old now, the stars were nearly gone in the darkness. Only a few beams from the moon could be seen, and even then, it was still difficult to see anything. Spike walked through the darkness, not paying any attention to what was around him. His mind was full at the moment. Tears still trickled down his cheeks. He knew he shouldn't have gone to Rarity's grave, he knew how much pain that caused him. But at the same time, he didn't want to forget about that beautiful mare. Her amazing hair, her soft white coat, her soul calming blue eyes. Everything about her was perfect, except her luck that terrible day. Completely taken away by a dragon... Spike finally arrived at his house, and to his suprise, the lights were still on. He tried knocking on the door, but it wasn't locked. The door slowly opened and Spike peeked through the door to see if Twilight was waiting for him. No Twilight to his relieve. He quickly walked in towards his bedroom, but before he could, he heard a cough coming from the living room. There was Twilight and Emmy. "H-how long have you been awake?" he asked them both, worrying a little for his own sake. Twilight looked at him with a tint of anger, but also a shot of concern. It was like a motherly cocktail. "I waited all night for you to return-" she explained, but was cut off by Emmy. "I woke up a little later, and when I saw you were gone, Spiky, I went downstairs to ask Twilight where you were. But she didn't want to tell me, quite a bummer.". Emmy looked at Spike with the same sort of innocence she always had. It didn't help much though, because Spike still felt uneasy about the fact that Emmy woke up. Now he had to explain everything to her, after all, Twilight would want that. A small sigh escaped his lips as he walked towards the sofa where Emmy was. As he sat down beside her, he felt her arms wrap around him, a giggle soon following. "So," Twilight began. "Where did you go tonight?". Her voice was a tad harsh, but still quite calm. "I... rather not talk about it, Twilight." Spike replied. He really didn't want Emmy to hear about his lost love. "Spike, listen, the quicker we're done with this, the quicker you can go to bed. Now tell me.". Twilight wasn't gonna give up on hearing Spike tell where he went, even though she had a pretty good idea, seeing the trails the tears had left on his cheeks. "Please, Spiky, tell me too~" Emmy said, sounding worried. "I was so afraid when you were gone...". Spike lookd at Emmy for a moment. Her eyes were half closed, looking quite sad. He couldn't stand it, sad eyes staring at him. He had plenty of those pointed at him during... 'that'. "I...I can't... I don't want to-". "You went to the graveyard, didn't you?" Twilight said, cutting him of in his sentence. Spike knew at the way she looked at him, he wasn't going to win this battle of wits. After all, he was fighting against one of the smartest ponies in Equestria. "...Yes..." he replied. A few new tears dripped from his eyes onto the cough. "Spiky? Why are you crying? I don't want you to cry, please smile..." Emmy said as she hugged him tighter. It was quiet for a moment, the only thing that could be heard was the sobbing of Spike. The longer it continued, the louder the sobbing, the tighter the hug and the more obvious the look of concern on Twilight's face became. "Spike... You have to tell her.." Twilight said with concern as she pointed her hoof at Emmy. "Lying isn't a good idea right now.". "B-but," he studdered, still sobbing. "What if... Emmy gets... angry at me..?". Emmy looked at the both of them with confusion. She looked at Spike before giving hima kiss on his cheeks, tasting his tears. "What is she talking about, Spiky? Is there something I should know?" she asked him, sounding more worried. Spike looked at her, tears still dripping down. "I-I guess I have to tell you know, Emmy... I was hoping to never bring this up, but...". He held Emmy's face for a moment, touching his forehead with hers. "Please don't be mad at me for saying this...". Emmy gave his lips a little lick. "What is it, Spike...?". "I'm... in love with somepony else..." he said. His voice cracked as he said it, worrying sick about what would follow. But he got no response to his suprise. Silence filled the room, making Spike panic only more. Did he do the right thing, or did he only make it worse? He wasn't interested in finding out anyway, he just wanted to die now. Not just because of the reaction he may would get, but the depression was killing him. "Hold on, I need... a drink..." he said, breaking the awkward silence. He tried to stand up but felt Emmy pulling him down again. "You love... somepony else?". Her eyes seemed to be a little moist, pointing out she was getting sadder and sadder by the moment. All Spike could feel now, was complete loneliness. He fucked it up. He jumped up, trying to escape Emmy's grasp. "Please, Emmy, let go of me..!" he said, getting more and more desperate to run away from this unbearable scenario. "Spike, what is going on..? Did you..,". She continued to hold him, tears dripping down her blue cheeks. "Cheat on me...?". Spike's eyes grew wide with desperation. He just wanted to go, run back into the dark night he loved. But the chance of doing so had disappeared now. "N-NO, I DIDN'T..," he replied rather loudly. "NOW PLEASE LET GO, EMMY. I NEED SOME TIME FOR MYSELF...". But as he said this, he looked at Twilight's angry eyes. Now it was complete, all he wanted now was somepony or dragon to kill him, ending this emotional torture. "Tell her, Spike." Twilight said, her eyes shooting daggers. She saw that what Spike had to tell Emmy was going to hurt him terribly, but this was the only way to get Emmy to atleast understand what haunted Spike for all these years. "LET ME ATLEAST DRINK SOMETHING..." Spike exclaimed now. But Twilight didn't want any of that. "Tell her, then you can get a drink.". Spike let out a small sigh. He gave Emmy a quick look. Her eyes were completely moist now, small tears dripping on her cheek. "I..," he began. "I had a... crush, on a pony in this town. Her name was Rarity. When Twilight and me came into Ponyville for the first time, we met her in the boutique. I instantly fell in love with her...". He paused for a moment, fighting back new tears. "We were great friends for a long time, until one day I became a giant dragon. But she turned me back, thanks to a necklace she was wearing... with a pure ruby in it. I gave it to her on my birthday, even though it was my own present to eat. But she wanted it so much, so I gave it to her and got a kiss on the cheek in return. It was one of the most amazing moments in my life. Later that day, she told the 'other me' that I was the most generous dragon she had ever met, and with those words she turned me back to my former self. I tried to tell her I had a crush on her, but before I could finish she silenced me, her eyes telling she understood me..." he ended his story with a small sigh, a happy one this time. "That's... so nice of you, to give something like a pure ruby to somepony~" Emmy said, giving him a little smile, her eyes half closed. "But..," she continued. "What happened after that..?". Spike looked at the moon for a moment, who was shining through the upper windows. "Many years later, when I was about to hit puberty, fate struck down. The day began like any other day, quiet and bright. But soon, it was shocked up with the arrival of a..." he stopped half way through. "A dragon. A bright red one, who was sent to find me. For what reason, I don't know. I guess in the moment of terror you don't ask questions...". "Many ponies ran away, leaving me in a completely empty marketplace. I was in face to face with the dragon then, completely unable to move my muscles. I was so terrified, the way he spoke, the way he looked, his size, everything made me freeze in place. Luckily, I heard Twilight and my other friends came for my rescue. The dragon attacked them..." he stopped once again, his voice turning high pitch at the thought of what happened next. "All my friends were fighting the dragon, even Fluttershy tried to fight the dragon. But the dragon was so much stronger than any of them. In a short while, all of them were knocked out or were injured. The dragon focused on me again, giving me a evil grin. I thought my time was over and... from a continue life standpoint, it was. Rarity jumped in front of me, screaming at the dragon to leave me alone, that I was just a baby dragon. She got pinned down by the dragon's giant claw. She-". Spike couldn't hold it anymore as he began to cry. "S-she yelled in pain, calming out to me! As the dragon laughed, he picked her up and looked at her necklace, licking his lips. R-Rarity, even in pain, told him to leave me, her friends and the necklace to be, but the dragon didn't want to hear any of it. He threw her to the ground, breaking...neary all... of... her...". The pain became unbearable now, more and more suicidal thoughts came rushing in. He just wanted to be gone, gone to wherever the love of his life was waiting for him. "Spiky..! Please don't continue to tell me, it will only make you feel b-" Emmy tried to say, but got cut off by Twilight, who seemed to also be crying. "N-no, Emmy, let him finish his story...". Spike met Twilight's sad gaze, then continued the painful story. "S-she couldn't move now, only s-scream in pain and c-cry. Then...". Spike was silent for a moment, holding something back. But atleats unleash a stream of yells. "HE ERUPTED A GIANT FLAME FROM HIS MOUTH AND SCORCHING RARITY WHO WAS STILL ALIVE!" he yelled loud enough for everypony in Ponyville to hear. "SHE SCREAMED AN SCREAMED IN PAIN, AND THEN WENT SILENT! WHEN THE FLAME DISAPPEARED, NOTHING WAS LEFT, EXCEPT HER NECKLACE! THE ROYAL GUARDS APPEARED RIGHT AFTER THAT WITH PRINCESS CELESTIA AND PRINCESS LUNA! THE DRAGON FLEW AWAY, LEAVING EVERYTHING IN COMPLETE RUINS... ESPECIALLY..." Spike tried to continue yelling, but could only whisper the final words: "My... heart...". Only cries could be heard now, not only from Spike, but also Twilight. Emmy was completely taken back by how the events turned so dark all of a sudden. Then again, she had her own dark events, but prefered not to think about them. She hugged Spike tightly, trying to calm him down. It didn't work however, so she tried to give him a kiss. It luckily worked for her. Spike was hugely suprised by the act of Emmy. After a small kiss on his lips, Spike was still crying, but could atleast speak some words. "You're... not mad at me..?" he asked with confusion and sadness. Emmy shook her head lightly and gave him a soft smile. "I'm not mad at you, Spiky. I feel really sorry for you that you lost somepony so dear to you..." she replied. "I lost someone important to me too...". A little tear escaped the side of her eyes. "I... I was so scared that you would be mad at me for telling you I l-love some other pony..." Spike stammered, trying to sound apologetic. Emmy once again hook her head. "Don't worry, Spiky Wiky. I love you and you love me too. As long as were together, I'm ready for any story you tell me...". She gave him another kiss, and Spike felt his muscles flex. Even though he loved Rarity with such a passion, and he still does, why does somedragon he just met a few days ago make him forget some of his depression? Whatever it was, he was atleast happy to have something like this. And of course, have somedragon like Emmy. They all calmed down, the cries slowly fading away as Emmy held Spike in a tight embrace. Twilight now joined Spike with another hug. Spike felt himself growing... happy. A little smile appeared on his face. "Even if I can't see you anymore, I'm sure you're somehwere beautiful, Rarity. And please never forget that I love you..." he thougth to himself. The moment came and passed him. He grabbed a small shot of cognac, quickly drank it down and joined Emmy back this his bedroom. Finally he could sleep, take his mind of things. Luckily for him, he really had the chance now, since Emmy quickly lay beside him and fell asleep. Spike closed his eyes and dozed off. "Spike... Spike... Spike..." a faint voice said. Spike quickly woke up, hearing a weird voice. He was still in his bed, but everything was weirdly formed. The walls had posters of clothes and other various articles about clothing. Some mannequins were scattered around the room. The room was also round, instead of the kinda square like space you would usually find in a house. It quickly hit him, he was in Rarity's room. "Why did you let him... Spike..?" the same voice said. "W-what? Who are you? What did I do?" he replied. His muscles pumped up, but quickly went soft again. He fell down on the bed, being pinned down by weird chains, looking like claws. They pierced through his skin, causing him to yell in pain. Blood trickled down from the wounds on his arms, legs and torso. Not long after that, a shadowy figure appeared and walked towards his bed. "W-who are you!?" Spike exclaimed in fear. "Why... did you let him... my knight in shiny armor..?". The figure now stood in front of the bed, still completely dark. "WHY DID YOU LET ME DIE!?". It screamed loudly as it revealed it's face. It was Rarity, but completely burned up. Spike looked in pure terror at Rarity. Her body was completely burned up, showing bits of dark, burnt flesh. Her face was the worst, it was completely disformed with her eyes being tiny and dripping weird liquid. "WHY!?" Rarity screamed. She became huge in a flash, and right afterwards, she erupted the same flames that killed her. "NOOOOOOOOO!" Spike screamed in terror, but before the flames hit him, he woke up. He gasped for air, sweat emulating from his entire body. He sighed, it was only a dream. He quickly lay back down, hoping he didn't wake up Emmy. "What's wrong, Spiky?" Emmy asked with a concerned voice. He obviously did. "Nothin', Emmy. Just a... bad dream." . "Are you sure?" she asked again. Spike gave her a nod. She gave him a smile and kissed his cheek. As Emmy closed her eyes again and rested her head on Spike's chest, Spike looked at the ceiling. He never had a dream this bad since that day. Was it coming back, or was it just because of tonight? He couldn't stay awake long enough to figure that out, as he closed his eyes again and stumbled back into a deep sleep.
