Moving day
Spike and Gabby looked around at their new room. It had everything they needed! There was a king-sized bed, their own private bathroom, and a glass tank with a single creature in it. On the right side of the bed there was a bed-side table with a Lava Lamp with several pictures of the residents of Ponyville, and on the left side there were some few pictures of her family and the CMC.
"How'd they get these?" Gabby asked.
"They're really good at what they do," Spike responded as he walked over to the tank. A sleeping jackalope was inside.
"Whoa," Gabby said as she walked over and looked at it, "I've never seen a jackalope in person before!"
Spike nodded. "Not many ponies have, they're trying to get you to like them."
Gabby raised an eyebrow at him and turned back to the door. The two princesses shot out of view as soon as she looked at them.
"The princesses of the sun and moon..." She hesitated. "Are they worried I might not like them?"
"They're worried you won't like them pass royal familiarity."
"Come again?" She asked, in confusion.
"They're worried you'll only see them as royalty, not as a future family," Spike said, looking over at where his mother and aunt were hiding.
"Either stop spying or come talk! Pick one, please!" He said to the door, his response was loud shuffling and a flash of light.
"Option A, then," Spike confirmed as he turned back to the Jackalope.
"So, about Twilight..." Gabby said, addressing the elephant in the room, "What's stopping her from just coming here?"
"Literally nothing," Spike replied, "But her older brother, the other princesses, a trio of crusaders, and I stand between her and you."
Gabby took a moment to think of that while Spike looked at the sleeping jackalope.
"Maybe I'll finally meet a bunny that won't hate me." Spike continued, which got a smile out of Gabby
"How many bunnies have you met?" She asked.
"Only one, but he was... an ass," Spike stared in silence. "I feel ever so slightly homesick." He realized as Gabby patted his back
"Yeah, I wasn't exactly expecting things to escalate like this when I seduced you."
"Which time?"
"I only tried once!"
"Within an hour of knowing me, you asked me to grab your ass."
"Circumstances forced my hand, you Horndog!"
"Hey! I'm no more of a Horndog than you..." Spike was in silence for a moment before scratching the back of his head. "Guess that just proves your point, though."
That earned Spike a light slap.
As the two continued to cause pure nonsense with each other, Luna was facing a new problem while Celestia dealt with day court.
"She's nothing more than a..."
"Twilight, please, stop," Luna asked, "You're taking this a little too far."
"You're just giving her what she wants! She's living in the castle now! She doesn't care for Spike, THEY JUST MET YESTERDAY!!"
"And you began dating Flash in about the same amount of time. Sure, he turned out to be... less than desirable in the long run, but thanks to some serious spying we've already confirmed that Gabby is definitely physically attracted to Spike and wasn't aware of how high up he is in the world."
Twilight frowned and squinted at her. "Bull. Shit."
"Well, unfortunately, this is me and my sister's castle. If you try anything against her or Spike, there will be some serious punishments."
"I am well aware, so don't worry, I won't do anything. However, something will be done!"
A guard looked into the room as Twilight stormed out.
"Keep an eye out for her, Iron Heart," Luna ordered, "Try not to do any harm, but if she tries something, make your presence known, and give her the standard warning."
"Yes ma'am," She responded nodding as she leaned back out of the door frame, and against the wall, glancing over at Twilight. She took a small ball off her belt and flicked it over at her target. The ball disappeared into her mane.
"Tracking her now."
With that, Iron Heart began trailing her slowly through the castle.
Twilight looked at the staircase that lead to Gabby and Spike's room.
"I'll save you, Spike," She muttered before continuing on, "I'll make sure that bitch won't get away with this."
"Not as long as I'm on duty!" Iron Heart thought as she continued following Twilight until she left the castle.
As this progressed, Spike and Gabby were laying on their bed.
"So?" Spike asked, "I guess in the long run we kind of failed, huh?"
Gabby looked over at him. "Failed? We succeeded! We found something you both enjoy and you can do, and I can vouch that you can do it well."
"Then we got kicked out of Ponyville. If either of us leaves we're gonna get bombarded with people trying to invite us to parties and trying to get in good, and the nobles will do everything in their power to make us feel like shit."
"What? Maybe you, but I'm..."
"90 bits say that Twilight's first move will involve a story in some tween magazine or something," Gabby shot up.
"WHAT!? I HATE TWEEN MAGAZINES!!"
"She does too," Spike confirmed, "And she thinks they're a waste of time, but it's what she did after she found out what Flash was doing to turn his name to mud."
"Oh no! We have to-"
"Already done," Spike responded. "Sent Celestia a letter mentioning it, knew she'd act like this."
As the two lay in bed, Gabby looked over at him.
"You know, my shoulders feel tense. I don't suppose you'd be willing to help me?"
Spike smiled at her. "You just want a normal massage? Or is this going to escalate?"
"Oh, you better believe things are going to escalate!" Gabby responded with a smile, Spike got up.
"Then, if you'll excuse me, I need to lock the door."
Gabby closed the window blinds while Spike locked the door. The two turned back at each other with a smile. Gabby took her shirt off as Spike walked over the side and put his arm around her.
"Now, how about you and I get started?"
