> Tales of Love Two: Attack of The Shipping > by Mister Phoenix > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Teacher Loving: (Cheerilee x Spike) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheerilee tried teaching her students, but it just seem like there wanted to watch the clock on the wall. While it clicks until the bell rings to let them leave for the school holidays. Cheerilee rolled her eyes, before she let out a cough.   “Yes. I know it's the last day of school, but you still need to pay attention until the bell rings.” Cheerilee said, causing the class to let out a groan of annoyance.   “Now, who can tell me the names ponies who started music?” The teacher question, the class fell silent just when the school bell rang causing the class to cheer.   “Alright you can go. Have a great holiday, I’ll see you in the next two weeks.”   Cheerilee smiled watching the fillies and colts rush out of the classroom, the earth pony teacher couldn't wait for the holidays. After who knows how long, she get to have a nice long break. No grading any papers, no long nights working on what she should teach for day or week.   Just her for the week. A cruise, fill with fun and just to relax. She walked back to her home, a small house down the street. There she met up with the town local dragon, who been a dear and close friend towards the purple earth pony.   “Good afternoon Spike” she said, with a kind smile on her face.   “Good afternoon to you too Cheerilee. I thought I’ll pay you a visit before you leave for the week.” Spike said, Cheerilee rubbed his head.   “Thank you Spike. I think that was sweet of you, remind me when I get back to treat you to lunch.” The teacher spoke   “No problem Cheerilee. There's no need to worry, you’re home is in good claws with me watching over it.” The purple and green dragon spoke, pumping out his chest to try show his might.   Cheerilee let out a small giggle, Spike said his goodbye. He walked away, while Cheerilee check her mail.   Dear Cheerilee.   We are sorry to inform you that the cruise you signed up for has been canceled. A full refund is in the letter, I hope you have a great day.   From The Cruise Company.   Cheerilee in a rage threw the paper away, which land Spike's head. Spike readed the letter, looking back he saw his friend in anger storm into her home. The young dragon soon got an idea, that he smiled to.     Cheerilee awoke to the smell of pancakes that filled the air, she rubbed her tired eyes. She slowly got up and walked to the kitchen, seeing the young dragon who’s meant to be watching over her house for the week, making pancakes.   Spike place them on the plate, turned and smiled once he faced Cheerilee. He place down the plate on the table.   “Those are for you.” The dragon explain, somewhat answering her unspoken question.   “I saw that letter you threw away, and well you deserve a break. So here I am, this might not be a cruise, but I’ll help you relax throughout the week.” Spike spoke, while the earth pony silently eat her breakfast.   Cheerilee smiled at Spike, she just didn’t know what to think, once Spike left to get her next activity ready. She blushed at the thought of Spike doing all of this just for her. The school teacher had always thought that Spike is cute, but she never saw past that until the two started hanging out more.   Cheerilee shook the thoughts out of her head, she cleaned her plate before walking into her living room. The earth pony teacher, sat down in her chair. The warm sunny weather started to take its effects. Sweat started to drip from her head, until a cold breeze hit her head. Washing away the strong heat from the bright sun.   Cheerilee watched Spike put her hooves on a hoof rest, Spike started to massage her hooves. While the fan blew away the warm summer heat.   “You really don’t need to do this for me. You have a week off, you don’t need to spend it making me happy” Cheerilee spoke, causing the young dragon to stop.   “Well I wouldn’t I want to make you happy. You're one of my best friends, and well you deserve to be happy. I’ll do anything to get a smile on the pretty face of yours.”   Cheerilee didn't know what to say that that, but the one thing she knew was that Spike is hiding something from her. She have years of experience working in a school, where the young ponies hiding a bad deed that they did. Ether it being bring treats into class, or talking when they should be listening.   With Spike, it was hard to put her hoof on. He most likely left clues in the way he spoke or what he spoke, Cheerilee is determined to find it out.   “Spike,” the green and purple dragon stopped to looked at her.   “Am I old?” Cheerilee question   “What makes you say that, you still as young as ever. I bet you're not even a day over twenty.” Spike said with a smile.   “Well it just a heard Sweetie Belle listening to music. I listen to as a filly.”   “You're not old Cheerilee. That’s just Sweetie, she just that type of music. I don’t get it, but every pony is different.”   “Thank you Spike.” Cheerilee smile, has always brighten Spike's day. It just made him feel all warm inside, his heart beating faster by the minute.  Cheerilee stood up, thanked Spike before leaving to her room. For some alone time to catch up on her reading, Spike fell on the chair in a grump.     It has been a few days since Spike been helping Cheerilee relax. At first, the school teacher was hesitant to go along with Spike helping her out. He just wouldn't give up on her, it made her blush.   ’Why couldn't my past coltfriends be like Spike?’ Cheerilee thought while looking at Spike.   Every time she saw him, how he would throw away anything to make her happy. She couldn’t help it, she had fallen in love with him. But then there was the main problem, he is young.   Young enough to be called a baby dragon, dragon age difficulty than ponies. It is possible for the kind baby dragon to be close to Pinkie's or Twilight’s age, but known for a baby in a eye of an older dragon.   It just was confusing to figure out, the weird thing was she enjoyed it. She wanted to find out of Spike like her back just to kiss him on those dragon lips of his. Hold him in her hooves, have the two share dumb cute nicknames that somehow they loved.   Cheerilee stood up and walked over to Spike, who’s has been washing the dishes. The dragon turned and smile at the school teacher.   “Oh hey Cheerilee, you need something?” Spike wonder   “It just that I don’t want to hide it from you. Spike I’ve always known you are a kind and caring friend. Into this week, where you want to spend the week with me instead of reading comic or playing video games.”   “I learned that I can’t be your friend anymore, because I fell in love with you. If you don’t feel the same way you can just leave now. Or it just be too painful for you still be.”   Cheerilee shut her eyes, waiting to hear that door close. Instead she felt a pair of lips touch her’s. She open her eyes to see Spike kissing her, only for a few seconds before breaking it apart.   “I love you too Cheerilee. I loved you so long now, I thought this week would be the perfect time to say it.”   Cheerilee smiled and kissed her brand new coltfriend once again. Everything felt right between the two. > Dragon Code: (Ember x Spike) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two young baby dragons ran and jumped into their bed. The two young ones, the one on the right is a female dragon with ocean blue and grassy green scales. While the one on the left is a boy with purple and sunny yellow for his scales. “Mommy, can you read us a bedtime story?” Candry asked, causing her brother to roll his eyes. “Please, I’m far too strong and awesome for a lame bedtime story” Rardet said, crossing his arms. Their mother watch the two siblings start bittering once more. Ember let out a cough, causing the two children to stop fighting and sit up straight. “I’ll tell you a story. One better than a beautiful princess and an adventurous knight.” Ember spoke causing her two kids to share the same expression. “This is the story on how your father and I fell in love” “Mommy. Is this story gonna take nine years to finish, or is that just how daddy met you?” Candry asked, Ember gave a smirk before she began her story. Spike stretch out his teenage dragon body, today he felt like he was on top of the world. Like everything could go right and nothing wrong, today is the day he says to the dragoness he been dating that he loves her. Ember. The Dragon Lord, him and her have been meeting up for the past two weeks, to have lunch together. Share an afternoon flight together, but Ember being well Ember just couldn’t say she like’s him. Nothing will stop him from telling her, he loves her. Spike currently sat in his room, looking at a brown wooden box sitting right in front of him. Spike unlocked it, to see the ring box. Sitting waiting to be open, the purple dragon bought it for as a last resort. Something in his mind told him it was the right thing to do. Spike picked the ring box up, it felt soft and smooth. Small and fragile, like it could break in his claw any minute. His body soon began to glow, which frighten him. Spike bid Twilight goodbye before flying off to the dragon lands, with a thousand question running through his mind. “Mommy, didn't you send letters to daddy. Why use the Dragon Lord staff?” Candry asked “Mom, is there going be any cool fight scenes, or is it just a dumb romantic story?” Rardet question “Well you see, your grandfather Torch. Well he decide to pay me a visit while I was thinking about your father.” Ember hated the feeling that happen every time she thought of Spike. Her heart started beating faster, she easily loses her train of thought and she couldn't stop blushing. The worst thing about it, she thought about him each day. It didn't matter on how, she could be in the middle of a important meeting and then his dumb smile of his pops in her mind, his kind ways trying to help anyone he can be it pony, dragon, or any other creature. She would just start smiling and a blush, heating up on her cheeks. Right now the blue scale dragoness sat on her throne, thinking on what to write to her friend and just friend. While a small mountain of paper balls sat to her right, she let out a frustrated yell throwing another ball of paper away. The doors to her throne room flew open, when her father walked into the room. “Hello dad, what can I do for you?” Ember asked “You need to someone to be with” Ember rolled her eyes, Torch said this to her every time the two try to spend father and daughter time together. “The Blood Moon is coming in the next three days.” That got her attention, once a new dragon lord have been chosen the next five years that dragon have to find another to spend his or her whole life with. The Blood Moon, shines down onto the dragon lord and their future soul mate, then the two have to spend the rest of their lives with each other. She banged the dragon lord staff on the ground, activated it to call all dragons to get ready to be chosen by The Blood Moon. “Oh I read about that. It said that it chose all dragons mates if they are of age. But the ones already chosen can’t chose again.” Candry said with a proud smile that she remembered. “Yeah and there are tons of fighting claws and jaws. Bam, wham,” Rardet said, getting excited. “Rardet, you need to learn there more in the world than just violence” Candry said, with her brother sticking his tongue at her. “Can I continue?” Ember question, caused the two young dragons to sit back still. While flying Spike saw all different types of dragons, flying from all across of Equestria. Spike began to get worried, he land with the rest of the dragons waiting for their dragon lord to address them. Ember flew out, causing the dragons to cheer, Spike stayed silent waiting for the dragoness he loves to begin talking. “So I call you all here for one fact. In three days The Blood Moon, will rise once again to chose your mate for a lifetime.” Dragons began talking left and right, Spike left in the dark. He heard female dragon names fly about from the males. The one who he heard the most was Ember’s name. “Three days from now, The Blood Moon will shine down and chose for you there is no picking. All dragons have to stay here until The Blood Moon has past.” Ember finished speaking walking back to her cave. Dragons flew away from the speaking grounds, Spike just left confused and frighten he might lose Ember. He decided to go right to the only one who he can trust. Ember. “Mom, I’m just wondering if…” Rardet muttered the last part. “I think he wants you to get to the romance.” Candry said Ember smiled at her, how he still trying to act cool. But now getting into the story. Ember fell on her throne, the dragoness snapped her claws. Calling the dragon guards into her throne room. “Get started on the making the Ballroom ready for The Blood Moon.” Ember said “What about you, Lord?” One of the guards question. “I have to deal with Spike” Ember said, joy filled her body each time she said his name. The two guards seemed lost at what she meant, for the doors to the throne room to fly off for the second time that day. “EMBER!” Spike yelled, causing the blue dragoness to smile. “Right on time.” She turn back to the guards. “Leave and get the room ready” “What is The Blood Moon, what is going on, why does it choose all dragons mates?” These were some of the questions that ran through Spike's mind. “Let’s take a walk. I’ll answer all of your questions.” Ember said, with the two leaving the cave. Luna moon stood high in the sky, shining down a light ray of light. Spike stood right next to Ember, her claw keep touching his. Ember fought to stop herself from holding his claw in her’s. “The Blood Moon, happens five years after a new dragon lord have been chosen. All dragons of the right age, have to take place to find their mate for all time. It to stop wars and fighting between other dragons.” “Huh, I didn't think I’ll be old enough for that.” Spike said “Well you did hold the dragon lord staff first. Plus you have just past the age for The Blood Moon a few weeks ago.” Ember said. Under the lit moonlight, Ember’s scales shined bright. Spike fought with himself to not kiss her, Ember faced away from him. “Because of this, we might not able to be friends after this” Ember said, closing her eyes. Spike grabbed a hold of her claws, causing the dragoness cheeks to heat up. She is now thankful it’s night time. “Ember no matter what happens after The Blood Moon. I will always be here for you. No matter what,” Spike said, Ember smiled giving the purple dragon a hug. “That’s so cute!” Candry said, before she started giggling. “Can we get this story over with?” Rardet asked “Fine then. I skip to The Blood Moon Ball” The night has come, dragon's filled the ballroom, looking up to see dragon lord Ember standing waiting for everyone. “Greetings everyone and welcome to The Blood Moon Ball. Tonight everyone will be chosen their mates for life, so no fighting over who gets who.” The Blood Moon shined down, always starting with the dragon lord. Shining down onto Ember, all of the male dragons held their breath hoping to become the king of the dragons. The second light shined down, the dragons standing in the way moved. Ember smiled seeing that The Blood Moon chose Spike for her mate. Spike shared her joy, the two dragon’s walk closer and closer. While The Blood Moon chose the rest of the dragon’s mates. Spike grabbed a hold of Ember’s claw, he pulled her closer so their bodies was almost touching. Spike placed his claw on her lower waist, the music starting off slow. Ember kept stepping on Spike's feet, the dragoness gave apologize smile. “Don’t worry. Follow my lead.” Spike whisper in her ear. The words made Ember smile and feel safe in Spike arms, other dragons were also dancing with their new mates. But to Ember and Spike, they are the only two in the huge ballroom. Dancing under The Blood Moon’s light, the soft flow of the music, made Ember fall in love with Spike more. The way he gently held her in his arms, how he looked into her eyes. Like she's the only one he cares for, Ember lead forward to plant a kiss on Spike lips to seal the deal of them being mates for life. Spike returned her kiss, causing the two to stop, but it didn't matter. All that matter is that they now had each other. Ember saw that her children was fast asleep, quietly she left the room. To let them sleep in peace, once safety outside she got caught by her beloved. She smiled at him. “It’s your turn next time they want a story.” Ember said, with a smile. “Can I get another I Own You?” Spike question, causing Ember to roll her eyes. “You’re worst than the kids” "I know you love me” Spike said, pulling her into a kiss. > Chaotic Lovin' (Screwball x Spike) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It’s just another average day in the city of Canterlot. Stallions took their mares to only the finest quality of dining. While the fillies and colts play with their friends, then run and hide inside so they don't get hit by the pies raining from the sky.   Screwball laughed in delight, watching ponies run around trying not get hit by the falling pies. The filly mouth dropped to the ground, seeing her pies disappeared.   “Hey what happen to all of my pies?!” The filly question, noticing that it’s darker than normal.   The chaotic filly turned around, to see The Lord of Chaos himself. Giving a disappointed look.   “Umm… Would you believe if I said it was me?” Screwball question, just when a flying Pig mix with a tiger flew by.   Wearing a guilty smile, Discord grab ahold of her hoof dragging her towards Canterlot Castle. Screwball sat with a bored expression while Celestia and Discord, talked on and on about this and that. The young filly let out a yawn from the boredom building around her.   “Can we hurry up here. I feel like I’m going to die of boredom.” Screwball cried out, causing the two adults to look at her.   “Fluttershy is far too old to reform Screwball, she’s needs somepony closer to her age. I know you’re thinking of him too” Discord said, Celestia shut her eyes and faced away from The Lord of Chaos.   “Fine, Screwball” the young filly woke up and moved in front of the princess.   “Because of your misdeeds and chaotic matter. You are going to be reformed like your father.”   Screwball gave a smirk at that, any idiot who going to try to make her into a dumb goodie two shoes will never be the same again. While she thought about the ways what she might go to the poor pony who going to “reform” her. She raucous and evil laughter echo in her mind.   “So you’ll be reform by Spike.” Screwball stopped her thoughts of chaos and how she may destroy that pony mind. A little brain damage isn’t that bad.   Screwball remember back when her daddy still had control over Equestria. She couldn’t help and think about that moment, she have nothing else to do while Celestia blabbed on about the importance of friendship.     Chocolate milk rained down from the pink cotton candy clouds that flew in the sky. The roads were soap, the trees are rubber, houses were flying and spinning in mid-air, cat and dogs living. It was totally chaos!   Screwball loved every minute of it, giggling in delight. The young filly loved watching the misfortune of others, it bought a joy to the earth pony. Until she noticed something, creating a telescope she looked to see a baby dragon running into a library.   Screwball gave a devilish grin, she also watched that purple boring unicorn and her dumb five other friends. Once they all left, Screwball made her way over to the tree house library.   Spike kept throwing up more and more letters. The pink filly entered the room, looking at the the dragon. Even at his weaken state he gave her a small smile.   “Hey there. I'm Spike, I’ve never seen you around before.” He said, Screwball froze while two devils appeared on her shoulders.   “I’ll be right back” she said, moving away so he wouldn’t hear her talking.   “This is great. Get him while he’s down, show no mercy” Screwball right shoulder devil said.   “Please, that’s weak. You build up the idea he might be able trust you. Then wham, smash all his hopes and dreams with a hammer.” Screwball left shoulder devil said.   “Hmm… They are both evil ideas.” Screwball smiled at the thoughts of Spike falling under her chaos. Begging for her to stop, only to laugh.   “Hey are you still here?” She heard Spike call out.   “Yeah, I’m in the kitchen.” Screwball replied   Spike enter the room, looking out the window to still see the chaos.   “When is this stupid chaos going to end!” Spike cried out, Screwball let out a gasp at the idea.   “Chaos is wonderful. It’s that boring thing you call being normal is stupid. Here you never know what might happen and when it will happen.” Screwball said.   “Yeah, but there a line between too much normal and too much chaos. I mean the trees are made out of rubber, how does that happen?” The dragon question   “Yo-ho-ho they took a bite of gum, gum.” Screwball answer with a completely serious look.   Spike gave a blank stare at the filly, he turned away from her. A rainbow light traveled, making Discord chaos disappear. When Spike turned around he saw the filly was gone.     Screwball sat with her hooves folded, muttering to herself how much Celestia is a big stupid head. The princess thought it was a good idea to take away her powers until the filly was reformed, worst of all her father agree and helped block her powers.   Grown ups are stupid. Her two devils pop up.   “Maybe if we show Spike how good chaos is then…”   “No better idea. Make him believe that you're his friend, you love him. Get your powers back and boom! We’re back in business.”   “Hmm… Love, I like that idea.” Screwball said, then she got a idea. A terrible, horrible idea.   Meanwhile at the castle of friendship. Spike was cleaning the dirty floor with his mop.   “Princess Celestia told me that somepony was coming over and staying for the next few days.” Spike said to himself, with the girls have left for a friendship problem.   The castle doors open, the young dragon looked to see a pink earth pony filly with a devilish grin.   “Oh it's you. I’ve been wondering when you went off too. How have you been?” Spike question, Screwball began walking close to him.   “We haven't been introduced yet, I’m Screwball. Daughter of Discord and princess of chaos.” Screwball said, puffing out her chest. Waiting for a scream of terror from the dragon.   “Huh, cool. I'm Spike the dragon. Number one assistant to Twilight Sparkle.” He said with a smile, Screwball evil grin dropped.   “What? That's it! No, ‘run away from Screwball. She’s going to turn us into pumpkins.’”   “Why would I?”   Screwball stormed off to the kitchen, Spike just when back to cleaning. Screwball’s let out a muffled cry, covering her mouth with her hoof.   “Man what I goodie two shoes. ‘oh, I’m Spike and I love everyone.’”   “Yeah. I hate to agree with other devil me, but he’s right. Maybe instead we could just…” Right shoulder devil said, moving her hoof over her own neck.   “Why would I put my hoof on his throat?” She question, her two devil shoulder shared the same expression.   “Are you serious, everyone knows what that means.”   “Yeah, wait are we agreeing with each other. We should see a doctor about that.”   Her devils disappear, Screwball shrugged her shoulders before entering back into the room Spike just finished cleaning.   “Hmm… If I can make that dragon fall in love with me. Then the I can never be stopped.” She thought.   “Hey Spike,” she said, leaning on a wall, the young dragon looked at her.   “If you were a potato, you’d be a good potato.” Screwball said, mentally hitting herself.   Spike couldn’t help, but let out a small chuckle at the now blushing filly.   “That’s a good one, this is how you do it.” He walked up to her, lifting her chin causing the two eyes to lock.   “You look them in the eyes. Raise your head, and say ‘how you doin’?” Spike said, causing Screwball to let out a small laugh.   “Thanks for teaching me.” Screwball gave Spike a kiss on the cheek. “But it getting so late, I’ve have nowhere to sleep. Plus it so cold, I’m just so lonely and the night is just so long.”   “Don’t worry you’re room is right next to mine. Come on I’ll show it to you.”   When the sun rise, saying it was a brand new day. The young filly eat her boring normal pancakes, even if Spike went his way out of making feel like home. She gave a small smile and blush, having Ice-Cream toppings.   The young filly tried to play it off cool, Spike looked outside to see the bright sunny weather.   “Hey we should go to the park today, so we don't waste this perfect weather.” Spike said with a smile.   “Perfect weather is cotton candy clouds and chocolate milk.” Screwball replied, causing Spike to let out a laugh.   “I hear you here. That was pretty awesome, come on the park will be fun. There's no pony you mess with if you stay in the castle.” Spike said, Screwball nodded in agreement.   “Sure, I’ll love to.”   The park was terrible! Sure with the such great weather, it was filled with fillies and colts of all ages. The ponies gave stares, called her names while Spike went away.   “If I had my powers, I’ll turn you all to cheese!” She cried out.   “Yeah, but you don’t. Freak eyes.” A bully said   “There's nothing wrong with my eyes” she stepped back, almost tripping over her hooves.   “Hey leave her alone!” Spike yelled, the colt left. Like he was terrified.   “Why did he run away so easily?”   “One time I turned into a giant dragon and destroyed Ponyville.” Spike said with a cheapest smile, scratching the back of his head.   “Nice” Screwball said, nodding her head with respect.   The two left the park, the chaotic filly couldn't believe it. She looked back at Spike, her heart beat faster, her cheeks heated up.   "Great, I fell for him.” Screwball thought   “Hey we’re back. What happen, have you destroyed his little stupid heart?”   “What a brute” a angel Screwball said   “Wait, angel. What happen to second shoulder devil?”   “Screwball had gotten a conscience”   “No! That true”   Spike looked at Screwball having a conversation with herself, looking at each of her shoulders for a few seconds.   “You were lying to me?” Spike, causing Screwball to stop and look at him.   “What?”   “I heard you, break my heart. I thought you was different, I liked you. I thought you were weird, but I like that. I loved you, I guess your plan work. Because you just broke my heart with a hammer.” Spike said, the filly look the ground.   The dragon began walking away.   “Spike wait!”   “Leave me alone!” Spike yelled at her, pure rage in his eyes.   Screwball just stood watching him, walk away. She shook her head.   “No I’m not going to give up. Only quitters quit and I'm no quitter!”   She ran to catch up to the young dragon, tackling him inside the castle he call home. She lying on top of him, pinning him to the ground.   “I thought I made it clear. That I…” Screwball shut him up, by connecting their lips together in a kiss. Breaking apart after only a few seconds.   “Yes. I was going to use you. Until I saw how nice you are, I fell in love with you. Because of you, just everything about you. Plus it was my two shoulder devils idea, if I could blame anyone.” Screwball said, getting off of Spike.   “I’ll leave if you want me to.”   Spike grabbed her chin, pulling her into another kiss. The filly closed her eyes wrapping her hoof around him. The kiss broke, he smiled at her.   “I love you. But you need to work on your evil plans, this relationship is going to take time.” Spike said   “I don't care as long as I have you.” Screwball said. > Lending a Helping Claw: (Gabby x Spike) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gabby flew as quickly as possible, flying away from The Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse. Tears filled her eyes, dropping towards the ground, the young griffin couldn't see where she was going with all the water in her eyes. A young dragon, waved goodbye to his friend, he happily walking before a charging griffin ran into him. The two rolled over the rocky ground, Gabby quickly stood up holding out her claw. Spike shook his head, looking at the beautiful griffin standing on his right. The orange light from the sun behind her, glowing bright. “Oh, I’m so, so, sorry. I didn't mean to hit you.” Gabby said, in a panic while Spike grabbed her claw. “It’s alright.” Spike said, then noticing her eye puffy eyes. “But are you?” Gabby step back at his question. “You seem upset, come on let me treat you to a meal at Sugar Cube Corner.” He said with a smile, causing Gabby to smile back at his kindness. “Oh right, I’m Spike.” “Nice to meet you Spike. I’m Gabby and I’ll love too.” She said with a smile. Spike smiled back, he then took a hold of her claw. Gabby blushed at the warm hold of his dragon claw. The two began they short walk towards the sweet shop, Spike held the door open for her, pull her seat out. The two creatures started chatting, waiting for their order to be finished. “So why are so upset?” Spike question “All I wanted was to have a Cutie Mark of my own. I guess I’ll never find my purpose.” Gabby said “I’ll never get a Cutie Mark, but just because you can't get one doesn't mean you can't have a purpose.” Spike said, Gabby smiled at his words before letting out a gasp. “Oh, I know what to do! Sorry Spike I have to leave early. I'll write to you.” Gabby called out, rushing out of Sugar Cube Corner. Dear Spike. Sorry it took so long to write to you! I got so busy with my job, but I have a Cutie Mark! I’m scared that I’m going to blow up with joy! This is the best thing ever, right next to being a real Cutie Mark Crusaders. From Gabby. To Gabby. That’s great to hear, I hope you don't blow up. I still want us to finish that lunch we started a few ago. Life in Ponyville has been quiet as of late, a friendship problem here and there. But other than not much. From Spike. Dear Spike. Oh, that sad. What about your Changeling friend or that dragon girl. That must have sounded like jealously, I didn't mean to come off like that. Please don't hate me. From Gabby. To Gabby. They are far too busy, Ember with the dragon kingdom and Thorax in the Crystal Empire. There no need to be sorry, Gabby. Every girl whom I start to gain feelings towards leaves. I still have my friends, but it happen with the last girl I liked and it happened to you. From Spike. To Spike. Wait you like me. I’m blushing heavily over here. I can't believe I just wrote that, I must sound silly. I like you to Spike. Maybe we should pick up where we left off with the lunch. How making it a date. From Gabby. To Gabby. Sure I’ll love to Gabby, when ever it’s best for you to come on down to Ponyville again. I'll would love to come over there, but griffins ain't nice. Love From Spike. To Spike. I’ll be down there next week. Oh this is great, my first real date. I'm just so excited! From Gabby. Next week soon rolled on by, Spike waited with a bud of roses in his claw. He saw Gabby fly down, landing in front of him. The young dragon gave a smile, handing her the roses. The two shared a kiss, while the sun rises to West. Walking claw in claw to their first real date. > Star Struck: (Spitfire x Spike) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a cold afternoon in the small town of Ponyville. The snow gently fell towards the ground, fillies and colts went out to build snow-ponies and begin snowball fights with each other. While the grown ups were in the nice warm shops, picking out the perfect present for their friends, family and love ones. Since it's only two more weeks until Hearth’s Warming Eve. Spike currently stood inside the same shop for almost ten minutes, his green eyes kept moving left to right. Looking at the two presents he held within his purple claws, the trouble dragon let out a soft sign. “How am I going to find the perfect gift to show Spitfire how I truly feel about her?” Spike question in a mutter. Spike walked out of the shop and into the cold icy air. His body shiver, his small feet leaving imprints as he made his way over to Sugar Cube Corner. The heat from the air pump fill the sweet shop, Spike sat down ordering a nice warm cup of hot chocolate. Spike looked to see a pegasus with a mane like fire, she shined that beautiful smile at him. “Mind if I join you?” Spitfire asked “I would mind if you didn't.” Spike replied, the captain of the Wonderbolts took her seat. “Spike I was thinking for this year, we can spend Hearth’s Warming Eve in Cloudsdale.” Spitfire said “Sure I’ll love to, I’ll just need to stop by Zecora’s hut to get a cloud-walking potion that can last a week.” Spike explained “I’ll come here next week to pick you up, later Spike.” She said, giving him a kiss on the cheek before leaving Sugar Cube Corner. A few days past by, the weather kept getting colder. Parts of the ground started getting icy, Spike wearing a warm winter jacket and snow boots, walked through the Everfree Forest. Spike walked through the deep snow that almost reached the end of his boots. While walking, the young dragon began thinking back when he first met Spitfire. It was one day he knew he would never forget. It was the beginning of Spring in Ponyville or what was left of it of the small town. Spike looked at the damage he had caused, all he could do is hang his head in shame. A yellow coat pegasus looked over at him. She flew over to the young dragon taking a seat next to him. “Sorry for smashing you into a mountain.” Spike spoke, while he stared at his feet. “You could always make it up to me. With a lunch get-together.” Spitfire said, her cheeks heating up with a blush. Spike turn to the blushing pegasus with a soft smile. “Sure. That sounds great, how about next week?” He question “Sounds good, it's a date. Later!” Spitfire said before flying off to meet up with the rest of her team. Spike stayed frozen in shock at the word ‘date’ it echo through the young dragon head. Spike smiled at the memory, stopping once he reach Zecora home in the woods. It didn't take long for the Zecora to answer the knocking at her door. She stayed silent listening to Spike’s tale and how he needs a cloud-walking potion that can last a week. The zebra nodded she looked through her shelves, seeing if she could find anything. With a gasp escaping from her lips. She picked out the potion giving it to the happy young dragon. Spike gave her a hug and a quick thank you. Before grabbing the potion and leaving. Spike had no luck, he searched every single shop in Ponyville and even a few in Canterlot. Nothing gave him the spark that says ‘Spitfire would like this.’ He stomped his foot in a fit of rage, he let out a scream into his pillow. Spitfire was coming back tomorrow to pick him up and take him to the city in the sky, he wanted something perfect to show how he feels about the pegasus. The young dragon let out a sigh. “Why couldn't she pick Hearts & Hooves Day?” Spike question to himself What could he possible give to the captain of the Wonderbolts that no one could? It haunted his mind, thinking that Spitfire would just laugh at the young dragon. Breaking his heart in two. Spike shook the thought out of his mind. “Spitfire would never do something like that.” He said to himself before letting out a loud yawn. Spike looked out of the window, seeing the half moon high within the sky. He rubbed his tired eyes, deciding it would be best to sleep his troubles away. Hoping that in dreamland Spitfire would return his feelings. Once his head, hit that pillow he was fast asleep with a smile on his lips. A tall and strong Spike, with a handsome smile looked to see The Wonderbolts, Equestria top flying team. One trick went wrong, the group wanted to pull off a loop-de-loop and then finish it off with a dive before springing back into the air. Forming their logo for the audience to see and cheer. Spike watched, standing in his hero pose looking across the crowd to the stunt in action. Even after his fights against sea monsters and the powerful Lord Tirek, the flyer stunt were still breathtaking. One of The Wonderbolts, a mare on the far left accidentally turned into the pegasus next to her right before the dive. Spike leap past the jaw drop ponies. Who could only watch in horror. The tall and strong dragon spread his strong and large wings, he took off into the sky speeding off faster than a train. The mares in the audience let out a off sigh, wishing that he would carry them in his big strong arms. Spike saved each and every Wonderbolt beside the captain. Spike shoot up into the air once more, Spitfire woke to feel a pair of strong arms holding her tight. She looked into the dragon’s eyes, her heart started to flutter while her legs felt week. She smile dreamily at her hero. Once Spike landed, Spitfire gave him a hug. “Oh, thank you for saving me!” Spitfire said, causing Spike to scratch the back of his head. “It was no problem. I'm always happy to happy to help.” Spike said, Spitfire smiled before pulling the dragon into a heated kiss. The crowd started to cheer Spike’s name over and over. “Spike, Spike, Spike…” He muttered in his sleep his arms moved with the cheer, just before his alarm clock rang that shoot him awake. Spike glare angry at the clock on his left, the young dragon hopped out of his small basket wandering down the halls. A knock on the castle doors made the purple dragon raise an eyebrow. He open the door, before letting out a yawn. Spike looked to see Spitfire standing there, looking at him with a smile. “So, are you ready to go?” Spitfire question, while Spike panic inside his own mind. “Yeah, s-sure thing.” He spoke, while he swallowed his breath. “Alright, climb on my back.” Spike followed what Spitfire told him. Before the two shoot into the air. The pair soon arrived to the city in the sky known as Cloudsdale. Spike and Spitfire started to take a look around. The orange pegasus showing the purple dragon her favourite spots. Spike saw how different Cloudsdale celebrated Hearth’s Warming Eve than any other cities and towns in Equestria. The clouds are made to look like trees, with a star on top. Some streets have clouds that looks like cane-de-cane, there was no snow but the pegasi decide to use the bright and beautiful rainbow instead. The whole city looked great. It just gleaming with Hearth’s Warming Eve spirit, the pair stopped in front of a building Spike looked questionably at Spitfire. “This is the main hall.” She stated, opening the doors to welcome them in. Spike look to see twenty to thirty pegasus ponies working on everything. Trying their best to make it perfect for the holiday. Everyone happy, even singing a work song to boost their work power. “Starting tomorrow, a large group of pegasi will fill this building Friends, family, giving their Hearth’s Warming Eve presents.” “It’s to bring the city together. Having the town share their love with their close ones, making the town one.” Spitfire finished, Spike stood frozen. His mind fought with itself, his green eyes turn to the left looking at the small suitcase he bought with him. “That’s cool, maybe we can go together… Like a date.” Spike said, feeling nervous about asking her. “Sure I’ll love to. We can go on Friday, until then you can stay with me.” Spitfire said, smiling while Spike felt like a million fireworks were going off inside him. “Great!” He spoke with such a happy and loud tone that caused the ponies inside to look at him. While Spike blushed in embarrassment. The two walked out of the hall. Spitfire showed Spike some of her favorites spots in her home town. “There’s a Wonderbolts show on Wednesday, It’s to show Hearth’s Warming Spirit. You’re welcome to come.” The pegasus spoke. ‘Just like my dream’ Spike thought “Sure. Sounds like a blast!” Spike said in a happy tone. ‘Maybe tomorrow I can see if I can find anything for Spitfire’ He thought. Spitfire stopped Spike with her hoof, the two stood in front of a modern two story cloud house. “I thought you would have lived in a mansion, miss I’m captain of the Wonderbolts.” Spike said in a jokey tone causing Spitfire to let out a small giggle. “Yeah. But it’s only me and I don’t want to feel special or different from other pegasi.” Spitfire spoke She showed the young dragon around her home, showing where everything is. Once tomorrow come Spike told Spitfire he was going out, she just smiled and waved. Once the door closed shut, the captain of the Wonderbolts soon got a panic expression on her face. “How could I not gotten Spike a gift. Oh, I bet he already found the perfect present for me.” “If I show up empty hoof…” Spitfire said, thinking of the worst. Like he might laugh and go for Fleetfoot instead. Spitfire let out a muffled scream, trying her best to get the thought out of her head. Spitfire shoot to the skies, burning brighter than an open flame. She speed past each and every shop in Cloudsdale, having spend most of her time looking for the perfect gift for Spike in each and every shop. The orange pegasus took a nose dive down towards the surface. Spitfire stopped before touching the ground, not even leaving a trail where she stopped. Spitfire has one rule and that rule is to ‘live life fast.’ She never spend more than thirty minutes in one place. Unless it’s her home or with The Wonderbolts. Ten minutes didn’t even past before Spitfire let out a moan of boredom, slowly but surely going around each shop in Ponyville. The town was just so small, there was almost no room to fly unless she was in the bright blue sky. Spitfire never quits! She just needed a new plan and it just fell into her lap. A poster on the wall, blew off and landed in front of the pegasus mare. THE WONDERBOLTS! Live at Cloudsdale to welcome Hearth’s Warming Eve once again. Spitfire smile, she lifted he wings. Before bolting back towards the city in the sky, with a plan on her mind to tell Spike how she feels about him. The Wonderbolts show, 11:00am sharp. Ponies flooded the stadium Spike sat in a special watcher box. Spitfire looked to see him. She smiled feeling more relaxed. Looking back at her team, with a nod and they were good to go. Taking off in the sky with a blaze of glory. The Wonderbolts took off into the sky, performing tricks no has ever seen… Unless they been to any other Wonderbolts show, it still didn’t matter it was still breathtaking to watch. The show went on for an hour and a half, Spitfire currently rubbed her mane with a white towel Spike knocked on the door with Spitfire letting him in. “That was amazing! I like how at the end you and the team spelt out ‘Happy Hearth’s Warming!’ in the colours of the holiday.” Spike said. “We can go to lunch now.” Spitfire smiled, having finished putting everything away. Once the two left the stadium for the small cafe down the road Spitfire order a cup of coffee and some hay sandwiches, while Spike eat some potato chips and a cup of water. The two talked through the date, acting like the close friends that they were. Friday soon rolled around, Spike and Spitfire enter the hall with the rest of The Wonderbolts and their friends and family. “I’m sorry!” Spike said, causing Spitfire eyes to widen in surprised. “I tried finding you the perfect present to show you how I feel. But I guess you never like me like that anyway.” Spike finished, the pegasus eyes looked above her. “There still one present. Since I couldn’t find a present for you. Look up.” Spitfire said Spike felt confused, his green eyes looked to see a misletoe hanging above them. Spitfire lean down to meet with him. “Happy Hearth’s Warming, Spike.” “Happy Hearth’s Warming to you too, Spitfire.” The two lips joined together, welcoming their real feeling towards and the greatest gift of them all. > Musical Taste: (Octavia x Spike) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It all started one magical night, Spike stood alone once again watching other ponies, them dancing with that special somepony that they fell in love with. The dragon had just became a teenager a few weeks before the gala, with still no luck in the dating world. Thoughts ran through the purple dragon mind about just giving up on find that perfect mare. That was until he saw her. She has a dark gray mane and tail, a light gray coat and light purple eyes, and she wears a pink bow-tie with a white collar. Her cutie mark is a violet treble clef  playing a lovely melody on her cello. Spike couldn’t help, but glare into her lovely purple eyes the music ended and the mare took a bow causing the audience to clap she walked off stage. The dragon pushed through the crowd, a new band taking the stage. The earth pony mare took a seat and drink of water. Looking towards the stage, the new band playing loud rock and roll, the deafening music blasted through the halls. She was thinking of calling it an early night, there was severly bands after her that would easily play through the night. “Hi there.” She heard someone say, the mare turned to see a purple dragon smiling at her. “I saw you up on stage, you are beautiful.” Spike mentally hit himself, “I mean fantastic” the mare let out a giggle. “Sit down, have I meet you before. I feel that I have” her voice sounded like angels singing, well that what Spike thought. “Oh, my bad. I’m Spike, I used to live in Ponyville.” “That’s right. I had see you around, but unfortunately never truly met, I’m Octavia it's a pleasure to meet you.” “I know this might sound weird, but you want to go out on a date sometime?” Spike asked, Octavia gave him that smile that he felt that he might melt. “Sure I’ll love to, this night is over for me. We can just get something now” Octavia said, Spike smiled. “As you wish, my lady.” Spike said, taking her leg, with his arm. While the two left The Gala, into the cold night of Canterlot. It was just a small cafe, down the street. A warm cup of coffee with a light snack, the simple setting of the cafe with the lights and silence surrounding the area. Octavia and Spike took a small walk through the park the snow on the top of the trees, the pony and dragon talked on their quiet and simple walk. “You know Spike, this has been one great night.” Octavia spoke, with Spike nodding in agreement. “Tell me about it, maybe we can go out another time?” Spike wondered Octavia kissed the teenage dragon softly on his scaly lips, “I’ll love to.” She said before entering her home, causing the rain to start falling down from the clouds. The relationship between Spike and Octavia started off great, the two got together each second week for a nice dinner or just simple walk in the quiet peaceful night. That was until the two decide to move in together, Spike moved in with Octavia everything was perfect when the new couple started to argue over the most littlest of things. Causing the musician earth pony to take a leave. Walk through the night time, when she got home Spike was there with something romantic that made her heart melt and grow a smile on her lips. Then she would forgive him, then few days later the whole thing would just happen again and again. Finally Octavia decide she had enough, the next time she saw Spike, she would give him a piece of her mind, which was at breakfast, since last time ended in a fight and Spike sleeping on the couch. Spike happily eat his pancakes waiting for Octavia to get ready, the earth pony mare place a piece of paper in front of him. “A couple councillor? Why would we need one of those?” Spike question “Because of us. We fight almost every night, I love you Spike and you love me. I don't want us to break apart.” Octavia stated “Fine if it really means that much to you. We can go, but I doubt it would work.” Spike said, Octavia ignore the few lines and hugged her boyfriend and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “What days?” Spike asked “Well I know we’re both busy early most days. So a week Monday to Friday in the afternoon will be best.” Octavia said “Sounds great, I can't wait for your show tonight. I bet you’ll be perfect.” Spike said, Octavia shock her head grabbing a plate of pancakes. “You think all my shows are great, it hard to tell if you're being honest or not.” Octavia spoke. Spike took a bite out of his last pancake, before drinking some of his tea. “I promise you when we started going out. That I will always be honest to you, I don't want to hurt the one I love with a lie.” Spike said, Octavia let out a sigh at him. Once the dragon finished his breakfast, he walked over to give Octavia a kiss on the lips. “The first time for the couple councillor, is tomorrow at three in the afternoon.” “I’ll be there, I know this means a lot to you.” Spike said, when he grabbed his brown coat. “Well I’ll see you at your show at two in afternoon. Later ‘Tavia" Spike said, before he came back to the dining table to give the earth pony musician a kiss on the lips. Before leaving for his job. The clock hit one PM, Spike walked down the street. Stopping at a flower stand, he happily gave the mare five bits for a few roses. He got there, the crowd was filled with ponies. Stallions with suits and tall black top hats, while the mares wore their dresses of red or pink or blue. Spike forced to stand at the back of the room, since ponies complained about not being able to see the show when he sits in front of them. Ponies stomp their hooves, when the band came out on stage. Spike clap his claws together, ponies in the audience gave him cold stares. Even with the peace treaty that was made with the dragons over eight years ago. Ponies was still didn't trust dragons. Spike watched in silence while the show played on, the dragon looked at Octavia playing her cello. With the look of passion in her eyes, that show how much she loved playing classical music for ponies who still believe that the best style of music was in past. Once the show ended, Spike went backstage to meet up with his marefriend. Octavia greeted him with a hug and a quick kiss on his lips. “Another great show, ‘Tavia. Modern music is still better than classical music.” Spike said, Octavia tighten her teeth in anger. “Oh not this again! How many times do I need to say that you're wrong. Songs like She’s A Lady and I’m A Believer, shape the world of your horrible modern day music. That is just the same one word with a dumb stupid beat repeated in the background!” Octavia shouted at her boyfriend. “Well what about you old timey music. That isn't all Sunshine and Rainbows.” “That another classic song!” They just kept going back and forth between the two. Spike had always liked the more modern songs, with heavy Rock ‘N Roll and while Octavia enjoyed the quite peacefull of classical music. Old love songs, that made her smile. This always draw a bridge between the couple. That sat the next day, both in single chairs. While a unicorn mare with a white coat and a green coat. She wore glasses with her mare tied up in a bun. Miss Eternia. She gave the couple a cold and hash stare while their fought in front of her. About what movie was better, Miss Eternia gave a loud cough, before banging her hoof on the brown wooden table. Spike and Octavia stopped fighting. To look at the mare. “I have seen couples like this thousands of times. It never works, a relationship build without ground is just going to fall.” “That not true!” Spike said, Miss Eternia just blinked. “Name one thing, that you two have in common.” Miss Eternia said, Spike and Octavia looked at each other. “There's one thing we have in common. The only thing that would matter, I love Octavia and she loves me back. I will walk to the end to Equestria to that smile that makes my heart leap.” Spike said. The earth pony musician smiled at him, leaning to kiss him. “I was going to save this for later, but Octavia. I don't know what I’ll do with you in my life.” Spike got on one knee, pulling out a black box out of his jacket pocket. “Will you marry me and make me the happiest dragon in the world?” He asked “Yes, of course I’ll marry you.” Octavia said “What happen here?” Miss Eternia question “It might be a bumpy ride. But with you by my side, I know we’ll make it.” > Sky High: (Cloudchaser & Flitter x Spike; Bonus Chapter One) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike stood on a wooden stool in front of the mirror, watching himself brush his teeth. Washing out his mouth with water, then spiting it into the sink, the dragon hop to the ground. Pushing the wooden stool back to the corner, he walked towards the main room, his head facing the ground. He sat on his small throne, looking at the golden ticket in his claws. Spike was in the dumps, The Gala, one night fill with magic and wonder. Just like the past times, Spike would be spending his time alone, since all of his friends had finally found that special somepony to call their own. While Spike sat alone, his mood just got more sour by the second. Well there was two last hopes, Spike had grew a crush on the pegasus mare known as Cloudchaser. Cloudchaser was there for him, when he first moved to Ponyville. He quickly grew a crush on the pretty mare, growing stronger each day. Then lightning strike twice, when Spike meet Cloudchaser twin sister. Flitter, she is such a sweet mare. Flitter treated Spike with Kindness, while Cloudchaser was the more bossy type (but only when needed.) Even if the two looked the same, Spike was the both of them in a light, he fell for them for different reasons. Like how Flitter is sweet, but to the point, she wears a pink bow in her mane, she stays strong for what she thinks is right. Cloudchaser is the go-getter type, she almost always butts heads with her twin sister. Over who's faster in the sky, who's the better sibling. Spike fear these arguments when he visit their home, it always ended with Spike caught in the middle. Having to make something up to get out of it. Spike then got the thought in his mind; if he asks both of his crushes out for a date. Even if one rejects him, the other might say yes.. Spike rushed towards the castle doors, he wander the streets his eyes spotted Cloudchaser. A smirk grew on his face, he walked as fast as his little feat could carry him. "Cloudchaser!" Spike cried out, the pegasus mare turn to face him with a smile. "Hey there Spike, what's going on?" Cloudchaser question, deciding to meet him halfway. "I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date, with me?" Spike question, rubbing his arm, nervously. "Well..." "You can think about it, you can tell me you're answer later." Spike said "But..." Cloudchaser said, but Spike was already gone. "I was going to say yes." Cloudchaser mutter. Spike were still in a good mood, while he made his way over to Cloudchaser and Flitter's home. The young dragon stopped on at the front door, letting out a series of knocks. Flitter open the door, first tired and annoy at who ever just woke her up. Since she ever been a morning pony. Once the pegasus saw Spike, she slammed the door, just to return a few moments later, Mare brushed, bow on head, cute smile at the ready. "Hey Flitter." Spike said with a smile. "Hey... I mean what's up... Dude?" Flitter said, leaning on the doorway. "I just wanted to ask if you'll would like to go on a date with me?" Spike asked 'YES!" Flitter anwser loudly, before letting out a fake cough. "Yeah, sure. It's cool bro." Flitter said, trying to keep her cool. "Are you free Tuesday?" Spike wonder, Flitter let out a small squeal. "Yeah, I'm free." She said, holding back her cries of joy "It's a date, later Flitter." When Spike left, he could hear a loud cry of happiness from Cloudchaser and Flitter's home. Spike journey back to the castle he called home the young dragon soon ran into Cloudchaser. She look at him in consure when he fell to the ground. "Sorry about that Spike." Cloudchaser said, Spike began to dust himself off. "It's was more my fault." "Well I been wanting to tell you. That I would love to go on a date with you. Does Tuesday work?" Cloudchaser asked, Spike stood frozen in shock. "I'll take that as a yes." Cloudchaser spoke, waving goodbye to the frozen dragon. Spike walked back to the castle, still in his state of shock. Once he closed the door, that's when he began his freak out, Spike began walking back and forth talking about everything. "I thought one would say yes. Not both of them, what am I going to do? Both on the same day too, I don't want to hurt their feelings." Spike spoke, stopping to place his claw on his chin. He snapped his fingers together, an idea coming to his mind. "I'll just date both of them. Then once they fall for me then I'll tell them... Wait that doesn't sound good." "Hey Cloudchaser, I know you just told me that you love me, so this is the best time to tell you I'm also dating your sister!" Spike let out a cry before he started banging his head against the crystal wall. He stopped after getting other plan. "I know, one date with both of them. I'll date Flitter once and then Cloudchaser once and then... No that wouldn't work." While Spike were going to back and forth with terrible ideas on how to date two mares at the same time without the other finding out. Cloudchaser flew home in happiness, when she enter the living room she spotted her twin sister, she lay on the couch, once Flitter saw Cloudchaser, the pegasus mare attacked her twin sister with a big hug. "I just got ask on a date. With the best guy in Ponyville!" Flitter said, her voice fill with joy. "Please, that's impossible. I just got ask out and I bet he's ten times better than the dude who ask you out." Cloudchaser said, Flitter let go of her sister. This created a fight. That ended on a bet, "Who ever has the better boyfriend by this Friday wins. The right to win all fights before they even begin." The two sister shake their hooves together, sealing the deal. Fire of rage, burn bright in their eyes. "May the best sibling win." Tuesday soon rolled around, Spike's date with Flitter was Midday at the hay burger. He raised his eyebrow at her choice, while with Cloudchaser's date being at night at The Walk On The Wild Side. Spike spend his whole morning getting ready for Flitter's date, the two agree to meet at the place where they were going on the date. When lunchtime rolled around Spike meet Flitter standing outside, still only wearing her bow, Spike greeted her with a smile while he held his arm out. Flitter let out a small giggle, letting the young gentle dragon take her leg. Lending the two into the fast food diner, Spike saw families together eating lunch, sharing stories and jokes. The couple soon found a table. Flitter ordered a double hay burger, since she skip breakfast while Spike just order some fries with a soda. "So why this place?" Spike couldn't help but ask "Well Cloudchaser and I always loved this place when we were fillies. While we grew up, Cloudchaser left this place behind, while I keep this in my heart. So the memories doesn't die out." Flitter spoke. "Plus, I don't like going overboard with just the first date." She added Their food soon arrived, Flitter began to go down on her meal. Eating it, like there was no tomorrow, Spike just let out a small chuckle, before joining in with eating his fries. The two finished their meal, Spike and Flitter walked back to her home, laughing. Spike felt like this may work, that was until Flitter told Spike about her's and Cloudchaser little fight. Spike decide to keep calm until him and Flitter shared a kiss on the lips, before they reached her her home. Spike smiled and waved goodbye to Flitter, then he started to panic within his mind. He knew once Friday rolled around, he was gong to die. The two mares that he fell in love with are going to kill him. Spike enter the castle, he fell to the ground. Sometimes he couldn't believe his own luck, the purple dragon looked to see it was already two in the afternoon. He slowly getting up to get ready for his second date for today. When the night came, Spike and Cloudchaser sat opposite of each other. Spike putting his worries away to spend a nice date with one of the mares that he loves. Spike smiled, he couldn't believe how well the date was going, no weird moments where the two didn't know what to talk about. The dinner with Cloudchaser is just as good when he shared lunch with Flitter. There's something special about these mares. While he looked into Cloudchaser eyes, he saw what needed to be done. Once dinner end, Cloudchaser gave Spike a kiss on his lips. Before taking off into the star fulled night sky. The next day came by in a flash. Time itself seem to speed up for Spike. Until he rang his fist against the door, that moment everything around Spike had seem to stop. Spike knew what was coming and he was ready for it, even if it ended the friendship between the three. Or worst Cloudchaser and Flitter feeling hurt. Seeing that expression on their face, seeing them lose hope. Seeing that rage heating up within them, seeing their tears fill their eyes, running down their face. Just that alone felt worst then anything that could have happen to him. When that door finally open, Cloudchaser let him in with a smile. He knew that wouldn't last long, so when Flitter finally got up. Spike sat the two mares down and told them the whole story. "I'm so, sorry. I didn't mean this, but I just loved you so much. I couldn't hurt the other." Spike explain, the twins shared the same expression. "Oh yeah, we knew." Cloudchaser said "Wait what?" Spike asked in a state of shock. "Did you really think we would make a bet. Then not tell the other who we were dating." Flitter spoke "I guess you hate me then." Spike said, softly lowering his head "We never said that." Flitter told him "Look Spike. My sister and I don't share much in common, but we both love you, so we would like to share you." Cloudchaser said, Spike gave them a smile. "I love you girls too. I'll love to date both of you's." The three went on talking, deciding on a group date for Friday night instead. > Tales of Love 2: (Harem Chapter; Bonus Chapter Two) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The train whistle blew loudly in the air meaning that it was coming close to it’s next stop. Ponyville, a group of four mares sat chatting away the time. These mares are Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Lemon Zest, Sunny Flare and Indigo Zap commonly known as The Shadowbolts. “I can't wait to meet Spike again, it’s has been far too long since he left for Ponyville.” Sunny Flare spoke. “Plus he has always been a cutie…” Lemon Zest said, causing the other three mares to look at her. “What I can't be the only one that has a crush on Spike?” Lemon Zest asked “Well I do too. He’s has alway been there for me.” Sugarcoat said “Same here.” Sour Sweet added. “Count me in too" Sunny Flare said. “Last is me. I’m on the same boat as you all.” Indigo Zap explained. “Well I was not expecting that, I don't mind sharing him. But how many others that also have a crush on him?” Lemon Zest question “How should we know?” Indigo Zap asked “Yeah why you asking us?” Sugarcoat replied Dear Ember. I am beginning to worry about myself. Each time I’ve told you about my ever failing love life. You always tell me not to worry. I don't and I won't take it anymore, every pony I ask on a date just laughs in my face. Thinking it the funniest thing that their have ever heard. In other news, one of my close friends Miss Cheerilee (She’s a teacher) she asked me if I knew anything about dragon kind. So I was wondering if you could write telling me some facts so I can give it to her, I hate letting my friends down, Cheerilee the most. She has this look that can give Fluttershy’s stare a run of it’s money. (Oh, right. You haven't meet her, sorry.) I hope you write back soon, your dear friend, Spike Ember read the letter, standing outside of the Ponyville school house. Reading the last few lines, ‘Your dear friend, Spike.’ “Yeah friend I wish that I could tell you my real feelings.” Ember whisper to herself. The dragoness knocked on the door, causing a pink earth pony to welcome her. “Greetings I’m Cheerilee, you must be Ember. Spike talks about you alot.” Cheerilee said her voice seem more angry for the last few words. “Wait are you jealous?” Ember question, causing the earth pony teacher to blush. “Maybe a little, I may have grown some feelings to my dragon friend. He spends so much of his free time helping me out.” “So you also have a crush on him.” Ember said, making Cheerilee face her. “You too, well we can talk more about it later.” Cheerilee said, Ember nodded in agreement. Octavia finishes her song, ponies clapped their hooves together. The earth pony bowed seeing her favourite dragon front row looking up at her with a smile, clapping his claw together. Spike went backstage to meet up with his friend. “Great show Octavia, but you always do  great.” Spike said, causing Octavia to blush. “Thank you Spike, are you coming to the after party?” Octavia asked “I wish I could, I promise some old friends I would meet them at the train station. I haven't seen them since I left Canterlot.” Spike explain to the earth pony. Octavia faked a smile, “That's great.” ‘I was hoping to ask him out at that party.’ Octavia thought. “Why don't you come by the castle after it. So you can meet them.” “Sounds great.” “Later Octavia!” Spike said, running out of the building. “Hey Octavia!” A voice said behind her, causing the earth's musician to jump in fear. She turned to see two Pegasi that look the same beside the one on the left with a bow on her head. “Cloudchaser, Flitter! How have you two been?” Octavia asked, hugging her two friends. “We haven't been that bad, Flitter and I still fight from time to time, but other than that…” Cloudchaser spoke, before Flitter cut her off. “When we learn you also like Spike. We’re the same.” Flitter said, Cloudchaser hit her head with her hoof. Octavia blinked, Flitter and Cloudchaser told her the whole story behind their crush on the purple dragon. With him being the only thing the twin siblings ether to fight over or finally be willing to share him. Octavia shook her head, when the two siblings started fighting when either one got a small detail wrong. Which seem to be a lot. “Spike invited me to the castle later on in the day. I say that there are more girls that like him. Maybe Spike should pick this afternoon” Octavia said, Cloudchaser and Flitter looked at each other. “I guess that’s the best thing to do.” Flitter spoke, her eyes lowered to the ground. Spitfire flew through town landing at Sugar Cube Corner. The place that changed her life, that is when she meet Spike. Sure he was a giant dragon that greed took over. The aftermath, the baby dragon meet the captain of the Wonderbolts. He paid for a meal at Sugar Cube Corner as an apology to her. Spitfire smiled at the memory, remembering how much of him was different, how kind and generous he can be. When the captain of the Wonderbolts walked in, ponies turned and stared at her in confusion. “One chocolate milkshake and cupcake, please.” Spitfire ordered, the mare behind the counter gave the pegasus her order. Spitfire look to find the same table she and Spike shared the first time they was here. A earth pony filly and a young Griffin sat there talking, the pegasus walked over. “You don't mind if I join you?” Spitfire asked “Nah, go ahead. I'm Screwball.” The filly said “Hi I’m Gabby" “Well my name is Spitfire.” Spitfire sat down listening to the two children talking Screwball telling Gabby how she got a crush on the dragon named Spike. After he reformed her and turn her to a somewhat good pony, while Gabby told about how she and Spike wrote letters to each other and she grew a crush on him by that way. “Huh, that’s weird, all three of us have a crush on the same dragon.” Spitfire said “Wow that is weird and I’m all about weird. How would this work?” Screwball  question “Why don't we tell Spike about our real feelings and who ever he chooses gets to be with him.” Gabby said “Great idea, let’s try to find him after lunch.” Spitfire said, Screwball and Gabby nodding in agreement. The castle of Friendship were filled with twelve ponies and one dragoness, each talking about the male dragon that they all fell in love with; Spike. The kind, sweet dragon that had won their hearts, only one small problem there was thirteen of them. When Spike enter the castle, he couldn’t believe his eyes. “Umm… What’s going on?” He asked “Well in short, we all love you.” Gabby spoke “Now that just raises more questions.” Spike said “Well it is normal for a dragon to create a harem, but it’s normally only three. Not thirteen.” Well I do love each one of you girls, for different reason and I’ll be lucky to be with any of you girls. I don’t want to break anyones hearts.” “Yes, that’s great, but who will keep track of each date?” Spitfire asked “I can do it, for more dates or kisses from Spike.” Screwball said “That isn’t a real job.” Spitfire spoke “Oh and flying around is?” Screwball replied The thirteen girls soon began fighting and arguing over who decides Spike more and becomes the leader of the harem that they created. Spike heard Screwball shout (“I can fly as well and I don’t even have any wings!”) Spike just backed away slowly afraid of what might happen if he stays in the same room as these girls.
