Love 1: Un-EGG-Spected Surprise (Spike x Gabby)

View Online

On a sunny day in Ponyville, The C.M.C.(Cutie Mark Crusaders) were relaxing under some shade while eating some ice cream cones. A shadow fell upon them, causing them to look up and grow with excitement as they saw their griffon friend, Gabby. They shouted and waved at Gabby trying to gain her attention. Seeing her friends below her, Gabby flew down, landing in front of the C.M.C. where she was besieged by the famous death-grip of ponies hugs.

"Okay, okay... hah hah... I'm going to see stars pretty soon if you three keep hugging me like this," joked Gabby as she checks her saddlebag while the C.M.C. release her.

"OhmygoshI'msosorry!" shouted the C.M.C. together before they play horn-wing-hoof on who would speak for the group.

Winning the game, Apple Bloom spoke, "Sorry 'bout the hug and all, we just got a little excited since we haven't seen ya in like a moon or so. So what brin' ya to Ponyville and what ya got right thur in yur saddlebag?"

A redden Gabby answered, "N-nothing... umm... I was hoping to visit Spike. I kinda need to speak with him. You wouldn't know where he is, would you?"

"Yo, Gabbs, wat'sup... argh!" ,spoke Scootaloo who was trying to act cool before she wound up tripping over her own hooves. "Hmph... I'm okay... I'm meant to do that. You sure been spending a lot of time with Spike these past moons. Why is that?"

"I concur with Scootaloo. So tell us why you would need to see, Spike... hmmn hmmn," insinuated a smirking Sweetie Bell as she uses her elbow to nudge Gabby.

Scratching her blushing cheeks, Gabby diverted, "Umm... no reason in particular... I just want to share some assistance stories with him, that all. I mean I'm new to being an assistant not to mention an ambassador and Spike is like a teacher to me."

Using her hoof to hide her mirth, Sweetie Bell offered, "Of course, of course, whatever you said... heh heh... all joking aside you'll find Spike at Twilight's castle."

"Yeah, him and Twilight's family are visiting from Canterlot and the Crystal Empire. You'll find them in the giant, shimmering castle over there," mentioned Apple Bloom as she lend a hoof to Scootaloo.

"Thank you, girls. I like to talk more, but I got to go... oh, and cutie mark crusaders, forever!" spated Gabby as flew to the Rainbow Friendship Castle.

Arriving in front of the castle, Gabby took a moment to preen her feathers before knocking politely on the door. She hears somepony screaming coming before the door open, revealing a middle-age mare. The mare offer her hoof which Gabby took, "Hello I'm Twilight Velvet and you are?"

Gabby cleared her throat, "I'm Gabby and sorry to interrupt your family time, but could I have a few moments to speak with Spike."

With a twinkle in her eyes, Twilight Velvet show Gabby inside, "Ah... yes, Gabby, I heard alot about you."

"Y-you h-have?" ,asked Gabby while she glance around nervously as she and Twilight Velvet walk through the hall.

"Quite, ever since taking you on as a student Spike haven't shut up about you. Heh heh... oh, he definitely mentions how beautiful you are," giggled Twilight Velvet as she pushes Gabby forward.

"M-me b-beautiiieee...," questioned Gabby before she trip, tumbling into the Friendship Map Room. "...fuull?!"

"Gabby!!!" exclaimed Spike as he came running to her side while an amused Twilight Velvet stroll in. "Hey everyponies, look like Spike's griffonfriend show up for a visit. Now we have the whole family here."

"M-O-M!!!" ,blurted out Spike as he helps Gabby up. "Sorry about my mom. Are you okay, Gabby? You're not hurt are you?"

"Thank you, Spike, and no I'm not hurt," spoke Gabby as Spike let her sit in his chair. "Your mother... hah hah... certainly is full of life."

"Yeah, she acts more like a teenager than a mother of three children," snarked Spike as Twilight Velvet stuck out her tongue with Flurry Heart copying her. "Unfortunately, Flurry Heart seems to take after her."

A middle-age stallion cough into his hoof, "Hello, I'm Spike's dad, Night Light. Miss Gabby, you don't seem surprised about Spike having ponies as parents."

"Hello, Mr. Night Light, it so nice to meet you and why I'm not surprise is because being raised by ponies is one of the many things I share in common with Spike here," answered Gabby.

"W-WHAT!?" screamed everyponies in surprise except for Spike, who grumble while pointing to his right ear-frill. "Think you can scream any louder, I can still hear out of this one."

Candance giggled, "Sorry, Spike, it's surprising hearing about a griffon being raised by ponies. When I started foalsitting for Twilight Sparkle, I was quite surprise to find a dragon living there as well."

"Imagined my surprise when my parents brought Spike home," chuckled Shining Armour. "So, Miss Gabby, how did you get to be raised by ponies?"

Gabby, being amuse, answered, "It's not really that much of a mystery. Griffons are often hired by other to work as miners, guardians, or mercenaries. My parents were hired by Goldenhoof who have them working in the Deep Vein Mine of Las Pegasus. That was until a massive cave-in occurs trapping the miners inside. My parents using their all dug through the cave-in saving the other miners. Unfortunately, in the end they died from exhaustion. Two of the miner ponies came to my parent's room and after finding me hatched, they decided to raise me. Then when I got older I move to Griffonstone."

"Don't think I'm being rude, but your story would make for a great friendship lesson," praised Twilight Sparkle. "So where are the ponies who raised you now?"

"Don't worry about it, if my story can help others become friends I'm all for it," dismissed Gabby with a wave of her claw. "And as for my ponies parents, they were at the age where they couldn't have children. So they view the day they found me as a blessing."

"Such a sweet story... hnrnk... so what did you want to see Spike about if you don't mind me asking?" cried Shining Armor as he use a handkerchief to blow his nose.

"This," said Gabby as she reaches into her saddlebag pulling out an egg along with a nest. She sat the nest on the table and then gently sat the egg into the nest. The egg was overall purple with gray spots. Spike ran his claws along the surface of the egg.

"It look just like my egg except mine came with green spots. So who's the father?" ,wondered Spike as Gabby kisses his cheek. "You are silly."

"WHAT!!!" screamed everyponies a second time with Spike joining in while Gabby nuzzle against him.

"I'm t-the f-father b-but h-how?!" ,sputtered Spike waving his arms wildly.

Gabby uses her tail to bop Spike on the nose, "Well that generally what happen when you have sex and here I thought you were suppose to be the smart one. I fear for our fledgling's future if you can't figure that one out."

Acting sheepishly, Spike redden, "Yeah... I guess that's how it work. I'm sorry... it just this is kind of a big surprise for me."

"Yeah it was surprising to me as well. I was just going over Grandpa Gruff's to-do list when the egg just plotted out of me. Talk about embarrassing," replied Gabby as she clasps her flushing cheeks with her talons.

"Oh my! I got me another grandfoal. Why didn't you told me you have sex, Spike? We should throw you a party. So, Twilight, when are you going to lose your virginity and give me another grandfoal? You know you're not getting any younger." ,spoked Twilight Velvet smiling amusingly while both Twilight Sparkle and Spike shout out embarrassingly, "MOOOM!!!"

Candance giggling behind her hoof, "Miss Gabby, if you don't mind could you tell us how you and Spike wound up becoming intimate? I'm feel it might be an interesting story."

"Interesting, I don't know about that... heh heh... I think it would be more of a clumsy romantic comedy," laughed Gabby before clearing her throat. "You see when Spike took me under his wings, he would train me at Princess Celestia's old castle. After our training sometimes we would sit around and talk about various things on our mind. That how I found out that like me he was raised by ponies."

"This would be good material for a book, a teacher and his student bonding after some private lessons. Oh! Excuse me, please continue," smiled Twilight Velvet as she took notes.

"Well as our training went on I got more into our discussion. I think it got to a point that we rush through the lessons so we have more time to talk. It just felt good to finally find someone who could understand how I feel," continued Gabby.

Twilight Sparkle raised her hoof, "You couldn't find a friend among the griffons? What about the C.M.C. or your parents, they couldn't understand you?"

"I love the C.M.C., they're great, but they haven't experience what I have been through... not like Spike had. As for my parents, It isn't that I'm ungrateful to them... it just being raised by them kind of cause me to become a pariah among the griffons," sighed Gabby as Spike reaches over and patted her thigh.

"That so sad, but why would being raised by ponies turn you into a pariah?" ,questioned Night Light.

"Well you see for us griffons, a griffon will entice a griffoness by showing her his golden hoard or his physical prowess. If the griffoness accept his offering then she and the griffon will engage in a mating ritual where they'll insult each other until they're blue in the face," spoke Gabby.

"And because you were raised by ponies, you came to view the gathering of golds, brawling, and insulting other as a bad thing which mean no griffon would want to associate with you," offered Candance while Gabby nod. "Being raised by ponies, being rejected by our own kind, trying to find our place in this world, are the very reasons I began to feel a connection with Spike. I know it might sound kind of mean, but I was happy to find someone who have suffered as I did"

Twilight Sparkle disbelieving, "I don't understand, but how exactly was Spike suffering."

"Unlike you, Twilight, I can't get mad at a pony without being accused of going on a rampage or having ponies treat me like a foal even though I'm old enough to be Dragonlord," grumbled Spike as Gabby hug him. "And when it come to romance, you can forget about it. Because of my size, most mares I meet treat me like I'm a schoolcolt with a silly crush. And as for dragoness, they behave mostly like griffoness do which mean no dragoness is interest in having me as a mate."

"If your love story get any sweeter, I might just develop a cavity," jested Candance. "So what happen next? Did you get down and dirty with Spike?"

"Yes, after finding out Spike was having the same romantic problem as me, I figured since nobody else want us we could lose our virginity together," replied a blushing Gabby. "Even though it was my first time, Spike certainly was able to make it magical and not to mention that wonderful long tongue of his."

Twilight Sparkle glare at Spike, "Spike please tell me you didn't have sex at the Castle of the Two Sisters."

"Why? It not like Celestia or Luna were using it or anything," deadpanned Spike while Twilight facehoofed, "Just stop! I can't believe you have sex in an Equestrian's national treasure."

"Right on, lil bro. But on a side note, how long until the egg hatches?" ,wondered Shining Armor as he pries Flurry Heart away from the egg.

Looking sadden, Gabby respond, "Actually it should've hatched already."

"Oh no! You don't think the child could be a... a... stillborn, do you?" ,sympathized Candance while she held Flurry Heart tightly.

Gabby trembled, "I hope not. When the egg didn't hatched at the appropriate time I went to Grampa Gruff. After I told him about Spike being the father, he told me that a dragon's egg can only be hatched by dragon's magic."

"Then how was I able to hatched Spike's egg?" ,pondered Twilight Sparkle.

"Well it could be one of two reasons. One is being the primordial magic you and your friends gained from connecting to the Tree of Harmony and it's elements or...," hesitated Gabby while Twilight Sparkle asks the follow up. "Or what?"

"One of your ancestor might have... umm... mated with a dragon," revealed Gabby to a stunned crowd.

"Oh my, that give me a great idea! A pony princess fall in love with a dragon, wondering if it would work out only to find out that she has dragon's blood in her family... how deliciously scandalous," smirked a giddy Twilight Velvet. "So is that why you came to see Spike?"

"Ye-es! Umm... sorry... I was hoping Spike could use his dragon's fire to hatch the egg," squeaked Gabby as she pleaded to Spike. "Can you try, Spike, please?"

Taking Gabby into his hug, Spike reassured her, "Gabby, I treasured the time we spent together. Plus I would like to see this wonderful fledgling born of our love."

Taking a deep breathe, Spike bathes the egg, he and Gabby made, in emerald flames. The nest caught fire, causing the egg to be enveloped by the shimmering flames. The light it gave off became so brilliantly bright that everybody have to shield their eyes. After the light finally dies down, everybody open their eyes and turn them to where the egg was. The sight before them took away their breath for there was not one but two babies. One was a dragoness bearing turquoise scale over her body while her eyes, spines, and belly scales were a bluish-gray color. The second one was a griffon who fur and feathers were various shades of green while his eyes and neck/tail tuft were tinted purple. His talons were same golden color as his mom. Everyponies look on with loveliness as the newly christen parents gently held their babies in their arms.

"So what should we name these little ones," asked Spike as he turns to Gabby. "Hmm... well since your scale and I'm feather how about Queztal and Coatl."

Kissing Gabby's cheek, Spike voiced, "I think those are beautiful names. Queztal and Coatl, welcome to the family."

Love 2: A Smoldering Hearthwarming (Spike x Smolder)

View Online

"And that why Spike invited her here," explained Twilight Sparkle to her family on why Smolder was join them for Hearthwarming's Eve. "If she went to the Dragonlands, there would be nopony she could celebrate Hearthwarming with."

"Twilight, you know what me and your mom always say," smiled Night Light. "Nopony should be left alone, especially on the holidays. So of course she can come."

"So right dear, the poor thing," agreed Twilight Velvet, motioning Twilight Sparkle to the door. "Go on, Twilight, let them in before we have two drakicicles on our hooves."

Twilight Sparkle move to the door, letting in Spike and Smolder while everypony else assault them with party poppers causing the two to sneeze which unfortunately set the confettis on fire. While using a fire extinguisher to douse the flames, Night Light and Shining Armor hoof some towels over to Spike and Smolder. Glaring at Twilight Velvet and Candance who were giggling and taking pictures, Spike growled, "Really?"

"Spike, as your mother, it my duty to capture all of your embarrassing moment," snickered Twilight Velvet. "Especially so I can show them to your special somedragon."

"MOM! She not my special somedragon," groaned Spike as he and Smolder were using the towels to wipe off the foam from the fire-extinguishers.

Joining in with Twilight Velvet, Candance giggled, "Hey! What that above you, Spike? Is that a mistletoe? You know what that mean, right?"

After realizing the mistletoe above him was gripped in Candance's magic, Spike facepalmed, "Really, Candance, really? Are you and mom really going to do this?"

"But isn't kissing under the mistletoe one of Hearthwarming's tradition? Isn't that why you brought Smolder here so that she could experience an authentic Hearthwarming?" ,whimpered Candance while she gave Spike a pouty face. "What if she returns to the Dragonlands because she thought we were being mean to her? What if..."

"OKAY! OKAY! I do it! just back off... sheesh... this the last time I bring a girl home for the holiday," grumbled Spike as he turn to place a kiss on Smolder's cheek.

Because of the foam and the towel, the voices of Spike and the other became muffle to Smolder. Finish with cleaning her head, Smolder remove the towel and turning to Spike asked, "So, Spike, is this one of your family tradi...muhmmuhm?!"

As her eyes widen, Smolder punch Spike which sent him flying into the fireplace. With smoke rising from the douse fire, Smolder stomped over to Spike, "What in Tartarus was that! Why did you kiss me!"

"I-I'm s-sorry... I didn't mean to do it! I was trying to kiss your cheek," groveled Spike as he apologizes to Smolder. "Although being my first kiss I quite enjoy it. Your lips have a mildly sweet citrus taste with a hint of spicy cinnamon..."

"Oh, for the love of Kur! Just stop! Please!" ,screamed Smolder, quickly put her hand over Spike's mouth, whose redden cheeks didn't go unnoticed by Twilight Velvet and Candance. "Why were trying to kiss me anyway?"

"Because of that! It calls a mistletoe," explained Spike as he points to the mistletoe still floating in Candance's magical grasp. "As one of Hearthwarming's tradition, ponies will hang one up and when two ponies meet under it, they kiss. I did promise to show you an authentic Hearthwarming, after all."

While rolling her eyes and sighing, Smolder pulls Spike out of the fireplace, "Okay, I'll forgive you. Just don't kiss me until I say so, you got me?"

"Umm... s-sure? Does that mean you...," questioned Spike before his stomach's rumbling shook the house. "W-well anypony else hungry or is it just me, heh heh."

"Hah hah hah, I remember the first time Spike's stomach did that. I though it was an earthquake destroying all of Canterlot," chuckled Night Light as Spike embarrassingly shout out 'DAD.'

Shaking with mirth, Twilight Velvet gathers everypony in the dinning room where she and her husband have set up dinner beforehoof. After they settle Flurry Heart in her high chair, Candance and Shining Armor sat down on either side of her. While guiding Spike and Smolder to their assign seats, Twilight Velvet explained, "Me and my husband fill this side of the table with dishes that a dragon might like. Of course, there's an assortment of gems. But since learning that dragon needs proteins as well, We add dishes that contain eggs, nuts, and fishes."

Smolder's mouth waters as the delicious smell tantalize her nostrils, "I thought ponies couldn't stand meat."

"Yes that generally true but for some reason fish doesn't bother us ponies, go figure," spoked Twilight Velvet joining her husband. "Since there is enough food here for everypony, I don't want anypony leaving the table until you got a beach-ball belly."

After Twilight Velvet's pronouncement, everypony dive into the various dishes laid out upon the table. As time passes, conversation began popping up amongst the guests. Spike was enjoying the food and camaraderie until he notice Twilight Velvet and Candance whispering amongst themselves, "And just what are you two conspiring up to over there."

"Don't be so dramatic, Spike," grinned Twilight Velvet. "We were just discussing about how grateful the crystal ponies are to the Great and Honorable Spike the Brave and Glorious. Right, Candance?"

"But of course, mom. Smolder, you may not know this, but Spike is a national hero in the Crystal Empire. They even carve a giant statue of him there," elaborated Candance. "You see Spike help to stop King Sombra from enslaving them. He also protected everypony at the Equestria Games by melting a gigantic frozen cloud."

Twilight Sparkle joins in, "He also save Ember from drowning, won the Gauntlet of Fire, and gave her the Bloodstone Scepter. Not to mention if not for him befriended Ember and Thorax there would be no friendship between dragons, changelings, and ponies"

"Did you really do all those things they said you did?" ,wondered Smolder as she watches Spike nod. "That so... AWESOME! I bet everydragon in the Dragonlands would love to hear these stories about you."

"I doubt Garble and his friends would jump to hear it," grumbled Spike as he pushes his food around his plate. "They probably said they don't count cause I'm not a real dragon."

Seeing Spike's distress, Candance use her magic to envelope her daughter, "Well it's been a long day and Flurry Heart can get a little cranky if she doesn't get a good night's sleep. So me and Shining are going turn in early. Good night, everypony and it was very nice meeting you, Smolder."

Taking Candance's cue, Twilight Velvet began gathering the dishes in her magic, "Maybe we should all turn in early since everypony must be tired from travelling. Spike, Twilight, can you show Smolder to her room? And don't worry about the dishes, me and your father got them."

Thanking their parents, Spike and Twilight led Smolder upstairs to her assign room. After bidding them good night, Smolder retires to her room. But as time gradually tick away, Smolder found herself unable to sleep. Remembering Spike's crestfallen face causes her heart to stir. Feeling she wouldn't get any sleep soon, Smolder left her bed and walk to Spike's room. As she enters Spike's room, she was met by a cold wind coming from opened windows that lead to a balcony. Gazing pass the windows, Smolder could see Spike leaning on the balcony as frozen tears gather around his feet. Sensing Smolder's presence as she walks out onto the balcony, Spike morosed, "Come to make fun of the crybaby dragon?"

"What! Why would you think that?! I thought we were friends," steamed Smolder with puff-up cheeks and cross arms. "And here I came to apologize for upsetting you at dinner, too."

"Okay okay, I'm sorry. I was just being melancholy," apologized Spike. "It just that when I think I made a place for myself, there always seem to be somepony or somedragon saying I don't belong."

"Yeah that really hearthwarming but maybe we could continue this somewhere warmer?" ,suggested Smolder as the winter wind chill their bones. Spike follows Smolder back inside where he closes the windows and the curtains. An awkward silence settles between the two until Smolder spoke up, "You know, Spike, what you said before..."

"Yeah... sorry about that, I never meant to imply that you would do something like that," interrupted Spike. "It's just that because I was born and raise by ponies that some dragons like Garble or even some of my pony friends will never see as a real dragon."

"Don't let anybody decide what it mean to be a dragon but you, okay. But if you ask me, you're a dragon. An odd dragon maybe, but still a dragon. To tell the truth, I can be kinda odd myself. I mean I never understood how some dragons could find pleasure in hurting others. That's one of the reasons I took Ember's offer to join the School of Friendship," sympathized Smolder as she punches her fist into her hand. "Still I can't believe our teacher did that. Maybe I oughta give them to apologies, dragon style."

"Thank you but I think their hardheadedness maybe too strong for dragon style. But that's the point isn' it, whether I'm a pony or a dragon I'm still Spike, the one and only," exclaimed Spike. "But still it's nice having friends that can accept me. Like Big Mac, Zecora, Ember, Thorax, even Discord and hopefully you too."

"Of course, you got me. Just know if you ever feel lonely that I'm here for you. Even if it's silly, cute pony stuff," affirmed Smolder while putting Spike in a headlock and giving him a noogie. "And if you tell anybody..."

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't tell anypony. But thank you, Smolder, it nice to have a fellow dragon that can understand me. Well it getting late, we should both be getting to bed," smiled Spike while he was leading Smolder to the room's door only to pause when he felt her claw grip his shoulder causing Spike to stare at her. "Is there something wrong?"

"Umm... Spike, could I stay here tonight?" ,asked Smolder before becoming defensive. "Just that it's late and it would a pain to walk back to my room. Nothing more, got it?"

"Sure... I guess?" ,hesitated Spike. "So I'll take the floor and you can have the bed. Is that good for you?"

"No, we're sleeping together," commanded Smolder as she toss Spike unto the bed where she join him. "Don't stare at me like that, this is your fault."

"H-ow is th-is my fault?" ,sputtered Spike as Smolder wrap the blanket around them pulling him close to her.

"You're the one that let the room get cold. We're just sharing body heat so we don't freeze, right?" ,growled Smolder, with enflame cheeks, while she snuggle a nodding Spike. "Okay then... good night."

Feeling embarrassed, Spike sighed, "I just hope we don't wake up to mom or Candance taking pictures."


Opening the door, Candance saw Smolder clutching Spike just like Flurry Heart does with her whammy. Using her magic, Candance apparated a camera and began taking pictures which woken the room's inhabitants. Upon seeing Candance snapping pictures, Spike moaned, "Great, just great! Why are you here, Candance?"

"Well I was coming to see if you would like to join the gifts-giving," smirked Candance. "But mayhap I should leave you alone since you're busy studying Smolder's anatomy?"

"That not what's happen... urgh!" ,grumped Spike as he and Smolder follow a giggling Candance down the stairs to the living room.

Candance guide Smolder over to where Twilight Velvet, Twilight Sparkle, and Flurry Heart were sitting while Spike, Night Light, and Shining Armor hoofed out gifts to everypony. Watching everypony else receiving their presents, Smolder hide the hurt in her heart, "I guess I won't be getting a present. Not like I want a present anyway, since dragons don't do presents."

"Actually, I have a present for you," said Spike as he handed Smolder the box he was holding. Opening the box, Smolder pull out a crystalline statue of herself. Upon seeing the statue's make-up and dress, Smolder glare at Spike causing him to gulp. "Well you see I wanted to get you something for Heartwarming so I talk to your friends. Gallus and Ocellus told me about the Tree of Harmony's test and how you like silly, cute stuffs. So you can teach me about rocky, tough dragon stuffs and I could teach you about silly, cute pony stuffs."

"It's... it's... beautiful," gushed out a tear-stricken Smolder while spinning Spike around in a bear-hug. "Thank you, it's the best gift anydragon ever got me."

"Okay okay, I'm glad you like your present, but you can stop now," pleaded Spike before being thrown by an embarrass Smolder. "Though you probably didn't get me a present, just having you here to share in Hearthwarming is the greatest gift I could ask for. So I want thank-you for coming."

"Present? Magma! I forgot to get Spike a present! What am I going to do?" ,murmured Smolder as she begins to freak-out until she felt something land behind her. Grabbing what was behind her, she saw a box covered in purple wrapping paper with some green ribbons wrap around it. Glancing behind her, Smolder could see Twilight Velvet and Candance winking at her. Smolder trembled slightly as she picks up the box and handed it to Spike, "Spike... umm... actually... I got you a present too. I just hope you'll like it."

Taking and opening the present, Spike chuckled, "Just as long it's not a book. Celestia knows I don't need another one of those."

With flatten ears and crossed forelegs, Twilight Sparkle interjected, "And what so wrong about gifting a book on Hearthwarming."

"Twilight, not everypony is planning to open their own library," deadpanned Spike as he stare quizzically at Smolder after looking inside the box. "I know I said as long it's not a book I'll be okay but really, a mistletoe?"

Thinking quickly, Smolder grin as she scoot closer to Spike, "That's only the first half of your present."

Giving Smolder a perturb look, Spike snarked, "And what is the second half? The branch it grew on?"

"No, this," whispered Smolder as she wrap her tail around Spike, kissing him. "So how you like your present, now."

Unable to stop grinning, Spike said, "I think this is my favorite Hearthwarming's so far."

Love 3: Punch Dragon's Love (Spike x Chrysalis)

View Online

As afternoon came to Ponyville, Spike was found to be in Twilight's private study where everypony knew she kept her collection of romance novels though she tried to deny it. Spike was pouring a soft, glowing, pink potion into the coffee cup that sat on Twilight Sparkle's desk. Throwing the flask away, Spike crackle while rubbing his claws together, "When Twilight take a drink of this coffee, she'll fall in love with me and then... bwahahahaha... I'll finally have my revenge."

"SPIKE!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" ,gazing behind him, Spike found a red-faced Twilight Sparkle using her wings to hide the book she has. "I though we agree if I kept it clean, you would stop barging into my private study."

"Umm... umm...," sputtered Spike while he nervously glance around looking for an excuse, his eyes finally landed on a poster that said bookworms free zone. "Bookworms? Yes, that it! I found a bookworm but when I tried to catch it unfortunately ran in here. Sorry, Twilight."

"BOOKWORMS!!! Oh no no no, not my precious books," panicked Twilight Sparkle while she ran around aimlessly. "I GOT IT! You stay here, Spike, and protect my books while I gather our friends. With their help, we can make sure this castle stays bookworms free... FOREVER!"

"Great! Now I'm going to have to wait for her to come back... augh, dungbeetle... and with her dumb friends no less," grumped a facepalming Spike before he heard a sound. "Uh oh! Sound like somepony is coming. I better go hide."

Hiding in the closet, Spike watch as a dragon stroll in that surprisingly look like him. Spike watch as the imposter laid a book on the desk and pick up the coffee cup that was sitting there. Spike groaned, "Don't drink it, stupid dragon."

"Wonder what got Twilight frazzle this time. Well, with her out of the castle and Starlight traveling with Trixie to the changeling kingdom maybe I can get some more sleep in," grinned Spike while drinking from the coffee cup before he heard the closet's door slamming open. "Y-YOU STUPID DRAGON!!!"

Glancing over to the closet, Spike saw an angry version of himself stomping in his direction. The second Spike got swallowed up in lime-green flames. What remains as the flames disperse was the sole changeling to not reform, Chrysalis. Seething with anger, Chrysalis facehoofed, "Do you know how long it took me to come up with this plan? That's coffee was for Twilight to drink... urgh, months of planning down the drain. And all because of you, you... uh oh. If you drank the coffee, then that... that mean you'll fall in love with me."

"Mon Chrysalis, your shell shines darker than any night Luna can create," rambled on a love-struck Spike as he laid kisses along Chrysalis's foreleg. "Cicada mia, Celestia's mane could never be moss-green as your."

"Great, just great. Now I got a love-sick dragon danging from my foreleg," complained Chrysalis as her tongue snake out of her mouth, tasting the love floating in the air. "Mmmm... seem this dragon's love is very potent. I never felt so full. Maybe I can stay a bit longer."

Laying down while she close her eyes, Chrysalis soon fell asleep listening to the monotone sound of Spike's love-sick speech. But it wasn't long till Chrysalis was brought forth from her dream of sweet revenge by the hacking motions of her body, "Ugh... why do I feel like I'm going to hurl rainbows?"

"Bugbeleh, my Chrysalis, your serene form is filled with cuteness that I could not look away," quoted Spike as he stroke Chrysalis's mane.

Spike's heart-shaped eyes and the overfull feeling she felt in her stomach cause Chrysalis choke out, "You... it's you... you imbecile. You're giving off too much love. Stop, I command you."

"But, Chrysalis, my little snugbug, how could I ever stop loving you? I rather jump off Canterlot's mountain than turn my heart away from you," spieled Spike causes Chrysalis to back away from him and toward the room's door.

"I got to get away from you before your love gag me to death. Now listen something important came up and I'll have to leave. So as your queen I order you to stay in the room until I return." ,commanded Chrysalis as she hastily left through the door. Not caring where she ran to, Chrysalis quickly put distance between her and Spike. Feeling that she elude Spike, Chrysalis breathes a sigh of relief as she tries to settle her stomach until she heard, "Oh, where are you my little cuddlebug? Where can you be, I wonder? Buggy-Wuggy, stay where you are and I'll come find you."

"Oh Tartarus no! I'm getting out of this castle... NOW!" , defied Chrysalis as she ran to the front doors while Spike was bouncing ever closer to her. Slipping outside the castle, Chrysalis quickly uses her magic to close and seal the doors. Sighing, Chrysalis rests her head against the doors enjoying the solitude until somepony gasped, "CHRYSALIS!!!"

Looking behind her, Chrysalis found the Elements of Harmoy glaring at her. Chrysalis laugh nervously, "Heh heh... bet you're wondering what I doing here."

"What in all of Celestia's Equestria are you doing here," demanded Twilight while she seize Chrysalis in her magic, slamming her against the doors.

"Throwing up, apparently... bleeurrgh," spewed Chrysalis, which cause Twilight to quickly drop her and then along with her friends back away faster than Applejack does when confronted with mathematic.

After waiting for Chrysalis to finish her hurling, Fluttershy politely asked, "Umm... Chyrsalis... i-if you're done regurgitating, can you please tell us why you're here. If it o-okay with you."

"How can something that taste so good going down, taste so awful coming back up," morosed Chrysalis as she face the Elements of Harmony. "You want to know what I doing here, I'll tell you. Trying to stay away from that insufferable dragon."

"OH, MY SPIKEY-WIKEY, WHAT HAVE THIS WHORSE DONE TO YOU!!!" ,dramatized Rarity as she teleported a fainting couch under her to everypony's chagrin.

"What a drama queen." Looking perplex at Rarity's antics, Chrysalis asked, "Is she always like this?"

"Yeah unfortunately but you learn to ignore it... EVENTUALLY!" ,groaned a eye-rolling Rainbow Dash while Rarity blew a raspberry at her. Turning her attention back to Chrysalis, Rainbow Dash threatened, "Chrysalis, Celestia help you, if you did anything to Spike."

Joining in with Rainbow Dash, Applejack brought out her lasso. "That goes double for me. If ya hurt lil Spike in anyway, me and mah family will git ya a private viewin' of how we Apples deal with thievin' varmints."

"Am I actually being threatened... hah hah... by dumb and dumber, here?" ,chortled Chrysalis while both Applejack and Rainbow Dash huff indignantly at her. "But for your information it's not what I did to Spike, but what he trying to do to me."

"AndwhatisSpiketryingtodo.Ooh!maybehetryingtomakeyouhisspecialsomepony.Thatbegthequestion,whatdoyoucalla
foalbornfromadragonandachangeling?Maybeadracling?No,thatwhatyoucallababydragon.Oohooh, howaboutadrakeling," asked Pinkie Pie as she chatters on with a million questions.

Frustrated, Chrysalis blurted out, "HE TRYING TO KISS ME, OKAY! There, happy... that the reason I'm trying to stay away from him. Great Scarab, are you insufferable."

"Do tell, why would Spike have any desire to kiss you?" ,interrogated Twilight while she confront Chrysalis.

Nervously, Chrysalis rub her hooves, " I may or may not have put a love potion in your coffee and your little dragon may or may not have drunk it."

"A LOVE POTION!!!" hollered everypony at Chrysalis. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!!"

Chrysalis sheepishly grin, "Heh heh... it seem like a good idea at the time."

"And pray tell me, after I drank the love potion and fell in love with you, what exactly was the end-game of this 'wonderful' plan of yours," loathed Twilight while she facehoof at Chrysalis's stupidity.

"Weell... I kinda didn't think that far," confessed Chrysalis. "Hey, I was hungry. And everypony know you can't think straight on an empty stomach."

"That so true! My brain always goes on vacation if I don't get something yummy in my tummy," confirmed Pinkie Pie while running her hooves around her stomach. "That why I let my imagination run away with me because it always come back... WITH CAKE."

"I can't tell if you're being serious or not, but regardless trying to understand your inane rambling make my brain hurt," complained Chrysalis.

"You just have to let Pinkie be Pinkie. Trust me, that a lesson I learnt the hard way. I can't tell you how much my head hurts after trying to scientifically figure out her pinkie sense," affirmed Twilight Sparkle as she sympathize with Chrysalis's pain. "The question I'm wondering about now is how you got your hooves on a love potion?"

"Oh that easy. Three delightful little imps got it for me. Now what was their names...oh yes the Cutie Mark Crusaders. You know they're quite the deviants," answered a devilishly smiling Chrysalis.

"Of course it was them!" ,simultaneously shouted everypony as the sounds of their facehoofing echoes around.

"So are you going to help me or continue this ridiculous game of 20 questions," splated Chrysalis.

"OOO!Ilove20questions,I'llgofirst.What'syour...mmlpha?" ,leaked out Pinkie Pie before she was muffled in unison by Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

"Applejack, Rainbow Dash, nice teamwork," thanked Twilight Sparkle before turning her attention to Chrysalis. "Now, Chrysalis, why should we help you escape this little predicament? I mean what benefits do we ponies get from saving you or have you forgotten that you invaded Equestria twice already."

"If you think I'm going to turn all gooey-gooey with the magic of friendship like Thorax did then you can forget it," growled Chrysalis as she stood defiantly against Twilight Sparkle. "I... WILL... NOT... APOLOGIZE!"

Floating between them, Twilight Sparkle apparated a scroll, a quill, and a jar of ink, "Quite the drama queen yourself. But I won't be needing you to apologize, just signing and abiding by this magical contract will be enough."

"You must have hay for brains if you think I would ever sign this stupid contract," blasted Chrysalis while Twilight Sparkle uses her magic to amplify Spike's voice. After hearing Spike's infectious voice coming through the door, Chrysalis hastily signed the contract, "There, Ms. Smarty Pants! Happy? Now if you could do something about your dragon."

"You have an almost artistic flow to your calligraphy, Chrysalis. If I were your teacher, I would give you a gold star," complimented Twilight Sparkle. "Now to your problem with Spike, there no need for me to do anything."

"What do you mean?! That why I sign that blasted contract! So you would do something and now you're not going to help me?" ,fumed Chrysalis. "Oh I get now! I guess friendship is magic only when it pertain to ponies!"

"What the Cutie Mark Crusaders gave you was not a love potion but a love poison. And you can only cure the pony who drunk it by making sure they can't see the object of their affection for one hour," replied Twilight Sparkle, chuckling at Chrysalis's antics. "So even if you magically enhance the potion, it should only last an hour or maybe two. And judging by the position of the sun and the length of our shadows, I say it been about two hours. Give or take a few minutes."

"Of all the stupid things, you expect me...?" ,raged Chrysalis until she heard a thump against the door.

Using her magic to break Chrysalis's spell, Twilight Sparkle opens the doors which cause an unconscious Spike to come tumbling out. Twilight Sparkle caught Spike in her magic and lay him upon her back. Turning her attention to Chrysalis, Twilight Sparkle offered, "Chrysalis, if you want, you could stay the night here."

"Fine! This day has been rather exhausted. Just don't expect me to do any slumber party cliche," apathized Chrysalis as she walks into the castle.

"Are you sure, Darling?" ,queried Rarity. "You know me and the girls support you in making friends and all but this is Chrysalis we're talking about here."

"It's alright, girls, this contract prevents Chrysalis from feeding on anypony without their consent. Beside the whole Thorax incident taught me that every creature deserve the chance to make friends," reassured Twilight Sparkle as she hug her friends and bid them good night.


Later that night, Spike was awoken from his sleep as the door to his room came open. Due to his night vision, Spike could clearly see who have entered his room, "Ch-chrysalis! H-how did you get inside the castle?"

"Your pony friend invited me after she forced me to sign a contract forbidding me from feeding on anypony," explained Chrysalis while her magic silently close and lock the door behind her.

"Okay?" ,shrugged Spike. "But why are you here, in my room?"

"It seem that I became addicted to your love," spoked Chrysalis as she stroll seductively over to Spike. "And I'm feeling a bit hungry."

"Bu-but you promise not to feed on any of us," quakely spoke Spike. "And not just promise but a magical contract one."

"Did I? Funny, I can only remember promising I wouldn't feed on... een- nee-poh-nee. But you're not a pony are you? Ooh, do I detect a loophole?" ,smirked Chrysalis causing Spike to gulp. "How about this, you let me feed on your love and I'll allow you the personal joy of using my body."

"B-but I'm in love with Ra...," fumbled Spike before Chrysalis silence him with her hoof.

"Princess Wannabe Cream Puff? Really, Spike?" ,questioned Chrysalis transforming into Rarity while she lay beside Spike. Speaking in Rarity's voice, Chrysalis uses her hoof to draw circles around Spike's chest, "Darling, why settle for an inexperienced filly when you can have a real mare?"

"B-but you shouldn't do this?" ,choked out Spike. "I mean it isn't like you love me or anything."

"Spike, when it comes to relationship I prefer to be the dominant one. Not to mention our relationship would definitely get under the element's hide," wickedly grin Chrysalis while she slip under the blanket. Popping her head out, Chrysalis threatened, "Now I may not be able to feed on your pony friend, but I can make them suffer in other ways. If you catch my drift."

Chrysalis lay claim to Spike's lips, interwinding her tongue with his. After Chrysalis broke the kiss, Spike gulp out, "Mommy!"

"Ooo! Calling me mommy? Spike, I didn't know you were so... kinky. But who am I to deny a drake his sexual fantasy," jested Chrysalis her magic transforms her into Twilight Velvet. "Now if you're a good colt, mommy dearest will teach you all but the birds and the breezies."

Love 4: A Flurry Birthday Surprises (Spike x older Flurry Heart)

View Online

As eve came to the Crystal Empire, everypony was inside the Crystal Castle celebrating Flurry Heart's eighteen birthday except for Spike, who was outside sitting on a bench in the castle's garden. Spike was enjoying the solitude until he hears a voice, "Room for one more?"

Glancing at the pony behind him, Spike pat the seat next to him, "Sure, Flurry Heart, I always have room for you."

"Thank you," spoked Flurry Heart while sitting down by Spike. "So not enjoying the party?"

"No, I am... I just have to take a break from all the dancing. It like every mare along with her sister and mother want to dance with me," jested Spike.

"I'm kind of in the same boat to. I'm afraid if I do anymore dancing my little hooves might be whittle to a stub," giggled Flurry Heart. "So what were you doing before I came out?"

"Just reminiscing about the four years I spent being your tutor," replied Spike. "I'm still surprised that Candance and Twilight did an exchange with me and Sunburst."

"That because mother wanted me to have a more rounded education and as great as a magic teacher as he was, Sunburst was lacking knowledge when it come to other fields," said Flurry Heart. "Do you regret coming here?"

"No, I don't have any regrets," dismissed Spike. "The only thing I was worried about was how Twilight would fare without me."

"Hah hah... she did have some epic meltdowns, didn't she?" ,laughed Flurry Heart. "I heard through the apple trees that Sunburst is doing well as Auntie Twilight's assistant. Jealous?"

"Hah hah... no... I'm just glad it all work out in the end," laughed Spike before asking Flurry Heart, "For you to leave your own party and seek me out, you must want something from me. So what can I do for you?"

"Well... umm... I was wondering if...,"hesitated a now blushing Flurry Heart before she was interrupted by a sound behind her. "WHAT WAS THAT?!"

Immediately both Spike and Flurry Heart stood up and look behind them. They saw the Crystal Castle was encased in a dark, almost shadowy crystal dome before an evil laughter alert them to a vaguely pony-like figure flying to the Frozen North. Recognizing the shadowy figure cause Spike to shout at the sky, "NO... NOT HIM! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE HIM?!"

Waiting for Spike to finish his rant, Flurry Heart question him, "Do you know what's going on, Uncle Spike? Who was that pony?"

"That was King Sombra," sighed Spike as he felt Flurry Heart activate her magic. Reaching out with his claw, Spike lightly clasp Flurry Heart's horn cancelling her magic. "You shouldn't waste your magic."

"W-why?" ,quivered Flurry Heart as her blush return when Spike lightly held her horn. As Spike let go, Flurry Heart coughed, "Why would it be a waste of magic?"

"Because Sombra excel at magical traps and barriers. If we want to cancel his trap, we'll have to defeat him first," expressed Spike while his wings open up. "Trust me, you'll want to be at your best when you fight him."

"Okay, guess it's time for us to chew bubblegum and kick Sombra's ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum," shouted an excited Flurry Heart as she took to the sky.

"I should have never let you watch that movie," facepalmed Spike, he hastily flew to catch up with Flurry Heart.

But as the two left the territory of the Crystal Empire, they were surrounded by sky-blue vaporous ponies. Upon seeing them Spike grumbled, "Of course it has to be windigoes. First Sombra and now windigos. Hey, Faust, anything else you want to add to this shit-sandwich you're forcing down our throats."

"But why are there windigos here. Didn't the founders defeated them with the magic of friendship?" ,wondered aloud Flurry Heart.

Spike scratches his nose, "Well accordingly to Nhorse's mythology, they're the very essence of winter. So the Frozen North could be their natural habitat or they could've been summoned by Sombra."

"Oh! Then I guess we'll just have to use the magic of friendship to beat them once more, right? Onward to victory, Uncle Spike!" ,commanded Flurry Heart while charging into the midst of the windigoes. But Flurry Heart soon grew despondent as the windigoes reform after each of her magical blast. With her tail and forelegs waving around erratically, Flurry Heart cried out in frustration, "They're too strong! How are we supposed to beat them?! How in Tartarus did the magic of friendship beat these guys?!!!"

"It'll be okay, we'll find a way...???!!!" ,choked out Spike as he accidentally caught sight of Flurry Heart's marehood causing blood to cascade from his both of his nostril.

Due to the windigos magic and the natural climate of the Frozen North, the blood spilling from Spike's nose froze instantly. Grabbing the blood-cicle, Spike tosses them behind him unintentionally hitting a windigo causing it to vaporize into steam. The windigo shriek as Spike's bloody missiles nail it to the ground, which caught Flurry Heart's attention. Landing in a pool of melted ice, Flurry Heart strolls over to the two deep-red spears that pierced the ground. Holding out a hoof, Flurry Heart touch them, but quickly withdrew her hoof when she felt a burning sensation.

"Ouch... mmpssh... I didn't think it be almost scalding," commented Flurry Heart as she sucks on her lightly charred hoof. Hearing Spike gliding down behind her, Flurry Heart asks him, "Hey, Uncle Spike... OH MY FAUST, WHAT HAPPEN TO YOUR FACE?!!!"

Shooing away a hovering Flurry Heart, Spike calmly replied, "It's nothing, just a nosebleed."

Flurry Heart's magic surge along with her anger, "Just point out the windigo that did this to you and let me take care of it!"

"Relax, Flurry Heart," said Spike as he try to calm down Flurry Heart. "It wasn't the windigoes that did this."

"Who or what did this, then?" ,inquired Flurry Heart using a handkerchief to clean the blood from Spike's face. "I mean a nosebleed doesn't just happen on it own."

"T-that's b-because I-I..." ,faltered Spike averts his eyes while blushing. "...saw your m-marehood."

"You got a nosebleed... because of my marehood? Hah hah... that's just like in those kirinime shows we watch," laughed Flurry Heart. "Wait a minute, that only happen if the stallion finds the mare sexually attractive... which mean you find me sexually attractive. Isn't that right, Uncle Spike?"

"I think we got more important things to worry about than whether I'm attracted to you or not," diverted Spike. "Like maybe King Sombra, that horde of windigoes, or the fact that all of the Crystal Empire is trapped."

"Okay, but don't think we're done yet," smiled Flurry Heart while her tail brush under Spike's chin, "Anyway, it seems that these two polearms are able to hurt and/or kill the windigoes. Unfortunately, they're too hot for me to handle so you'll have to do it."

But as Spike was about to object, the windigos launch their attack. Running on instinct, Spike quickly hid Flurry Heart behind him. Then in a flurry of motion, Spike grab both spears and swung them around while screaming, "DIE! DIE! DIE!"

While Spike was having his panic attack, Flurry Heart was cheering him on while shaking some pom-poms she apparated, "Yeah, you can do it, Uncle Spike! Slash them on the right, slash them on the left, keep slashing until they're all out of sight! Go, Uncle Spike!"

As the vaporous steam disparate, Spike sunk to his knees while his arms fell to his side. His hands releasing their hold on the frozen blood spears as they burst into mist. Huffing and puffing, Spike blurts out in a surprise manner, "I-I did it? Hah hah hah... I DID IT!"

"I knew you could do it, Uncle Spike!" ,shouted out Flurry Heart while glomping onto Spike.

Spike patted Flurry Heart's head while extracting himself from her embrace, "We'll have time for celebration after we have defeated Sombra. Come on, let go."

Resuming their flight to the Frozen North, Spike and Flurry Heart came upon a blacken corpse. Touching down by the corpse, Spike investigated, "These seem to be the remain of the yeti that was living here and most likely it was destroyed by Sombra's black magic. Which means he must be held up in that cave up ahead. Flurry Heart, ready all the protection spells you can. We're going in."

After casting all of the protection spells she knew, Flurry Heart nodded to Spike and silently follow him into the cave. Using his tongue to sense the magical fluctuation that Sombra's spellcasting gave off, Spike with his night vision stealthily guides them through the cave's labyrinth arriving at a large central chamber. There they found King Sombra relaxing on a throne. Chocking down his fear, Spike whisper to Flurry Heart, "Since dragons are magical resistance, I'll attack Sombra head on. While I'm doing that, I want you to hit him with everything you got. Okay?"

Nodding silently, Flurry Heart slowly channel all of her magic into her horn, which alert Sombra to their presence. Standing up from his throne, Sombra call out loudly, "Whoever is out there, it would go better for you if you came out now before I blast you into oblivion!"

"Alright, alright! You got me," scramble out Spike while hastily standing up. As he was walking to Sombra, Spike becomes perplexed, "Are you a mare?"

"Ah, you're the dragon that found the Crystal Heart. And yes, unfortunately the pony that found my horn happen to be a mare. But I doubt it was you that activated a spell just now, Isn't that right?" ,smirked Sombra as she shot a magical blast in the direction Spike came from.

"N-NOOO!!!" yelled Spike as the boulder that previously hid him burst into dust and pebbles that rain upon the cave's floor. As rage slowly builds within him, Spike declared, "YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR HURTING FLURRY HEART!!!"

"Oh my! Is the wittle dragon mad I hurt his special somepony? Is he going to kick my ass?" Well here it is see if you can," gloated Sombra as she lifts her tail and presented her backside to Spike.

As he lifted his head, Spike gains an eyeful of Sombra's marehood causing blood to immediately shoot out of his nose like a missile careening in Sombra's direction. Hearing the whistling sound as it echoes throughout the cave, Sombra turn around at the right time for the projected blood to pierce her horn nailing it to the cave's wall. While Spike stares dumbfounded at Sombra's body disintegrating into dusts and ashes, a bright light flash behind him. Spike twists his head as he felt a pair of forelegs encircle him, "F-furry Heart? You're o-okay?"

"Yeah, I am," spoked Flurry Heart as she reassure Spike before asking, "What happen here?"

Refusing to look Flurry Heart in the eye, Spike replied, "I don't wanna talk about it."


Inside the Crystal Castle's throne room, Spike and Flurry Heart finished their report to Candance and Shining Armor. Spike place Sombra's horn at their hooves. Using her magic, Candance seal the dangerous artifact in a chest, then teleport it to the Crystal Empire's secret vault for dangerous relics. Shining Armor let out a sigh of relief, "Now that done, maybe we won't have to face King Sombra for a third time... a little cold there, Spike?"

"Yes," shivered Spike. "Although we dragons are warm-blooded, we lack the heat-insulating fur you ponies have."

"Don't worry, Uncle Spike, your favorite niece got just the thing to warm you up," announced Flurry Heart while placing her hoof around Spike's arm. "You just have to come to my room. And maybe we can even have a sleep over."

"S-sleep O-over?!" ,sputtered Shining Armor. "Don't you think it's a little inappropriate for a stallion to visit a mare's room at night?"

Giving her father the saddest, puppiest eyes ever, Flurry Heart whimpered, "You don't trust Uncle Spike?"

"N-no... I do trust him," barely stammered out Shining Armor before his daughter disappears with Spike in a puff of smoke. Shining Armor glare at his wife, "You just have to teach her that, didn't you?"

"Yes, I did, I'm so proud. She can't be your little filly forever, Shiny," giggled Candance behind her hoof. "Beside who better to sire the heir of the Crystal Empire than it's hero, the Great and Honorable Spike the Brave and Glorious."


Inside Flurry Heart's room, Spike was wearing a furry robe while Flurry Heart was lounging on a purple beanbag. They were playing the new gaming device from Kirintendo, the Kirintendo Swish. Looking up from her game, Flurry Heart gloated, "See I told you I have something to keep you warm."

"Yes you were right and thank you," agreed Spike before becoming stern, "But you shouldn't become a braggart like Applejack and Rainbow Dash. It unbecoming especially for a princess."

"Sorry, Uncle Spike," pouted Flurry Heart. "So how is Auntie Twilight doing?"

"She doing well despite being her normal neurotic self. Having Sunburst there help," spoked Spike before sighing, "I just keep wondering when those two will get together. I mean they're almost perfect for each other."

"Well maybe we can get them together... heh heh," snickered Flurry Heart conspiratorially. "Just like in the Malt Donkey's film, the Little Seapony."

"Hah hah... now you're starting to sound like your mother," chuckled Spike. "But I doubt it'll work, Twilight pretty much a virgin even after all these years."

So what about you, Uncle Spike?" wondered Flurry Heart before asking smirkingly. "Are you still a virgin?"

Without missing a beat, Spike answered, "Yes, I am."

"What! You're still a virgin!" ,shouted Flurry Heart surprise at Spike's confession. "You know for a dragon that surround by mares, I find that kind of hard to believe."

"It can't be help," shrugged Spike. "Because of my small size, ponies keep thinking I'm a child. And I doubt if any mare would be interested in a dragon anyway."

"Heh heh," impishly laughed Flurry Heart. "Then you should be glad that we just celebrated my 18th birthday today."

"Why?" inquired Spike while his kirintendo swish poof out of his hand and his body was levitate to Flurry Heart's canopy bed. Feeling a weight land on him, Spike glance up at Flurry Heart, "What are you doing?"

Draping her body across his, Flurry Heart whisper sultry into Spike's ear frill, "I'm about to have some triple hoof-rated grown-up fun with my uncle."
