Spike, an average teenage boy is accepted to Wonder Colts Academy, and finds out he's actually a Dragon Prince. The Draconian line specifically. And all while being like a game character.
Spike Dracon woke up to a green transparent screen. It was almost exactly like his favorite comic series, 'The Gamer', but there were subtle differences. How will Spike handle this, when he realizes there is magic in his world after all? And when he finds his old friends aren't who they were before, what will he do about it? That's up to you to find out
(This is a rewrite)
My Little Pony and The Gamer belong to their respectful owners, I own nothing but the story itself Also, it is a Harem story
When Spike woke up on his eighteenth birthday, a glowing transparent green-screen hovered over his head.
The Gamer
Spike Dracon
With a look of bewilderment he looked over at the comic book he'd been reading last night named The Gamer, and the main character Jihan Han.
It couldn't be real, could it? It was just a book right? Those were the questions going on in his mind. He loved the series, but to actually imagine a screen so real looking to tell him his greatest dream? It was too good to be true.
....Yet there it was, still there as he sat up. Would it react if he said the 'Magic Words'? There was really only one way to find out.
"Stats.", Spike announced as loud as he could without yelling. And the screen changed, giving him information about himself. With two Titles.
To say the least, Spike was surprised it worked, and it proved it wasn't fake. He inwardly cheered, as he inspected the titles. He didn't really need to check what The Gamer meant as he read the comics.
Titles: The Draconian Prince: Prince of the dragons, you gain extra special affinity to dragon related skills and magic. +5 INT +10 WIS + Dragon Messenger Flames
Spike became even more giddy at this, and seeing the skill he gained, he remembered to check his skills. "Skills!", He exclaimed louder than he meant to in his excitement, and he heard footsteps coming to his room. He instantly sat back down on his bed, and said 'Close' as his mother opened the door.
"Spike, what are you yelling for this early in the morning?! I just started my coffee, I'm still not awake, so don't push it. You should know this.", Miss Dracon spoke a little angrier than she meant to, but was expected as she was always this way before coffee.
"Hahahaha... Sorry Mom, I was just excited, something incredible happened. I don't know if you'd believe me though. I'll speak to you once you've had your coffee okay?", He said, sweatdropping a bit. He realized that his mom may have forgotten it was his birthday since she wasn't fully awake.
"Okay Spike, just be a little quieter, alright?", She asked and turned to leave. Before she did though, Spike looked above her head, and saw her title.
Spinal Dracon, Grouchy but Caring Mother
Lvl 36
Spike was once again surprised, and amused. Her level was off the charts compared to a normal person if the comic was correct about leveling.
After about an hour, he walked down stairs to greet his mother, and beamed when he saw a rock-candy covered cup-cake with 'Happy Birthday' covering the door leading to the living room. He instantly grabbed it, and stepped into said living room where his mom was standing with a bright smile holding a wrapped box, and an envelope.
"Happy birthday, my baby boy!", Spinal giggled as Spike grimaced at the last two words.
"Mom, I'm not a baby anymore, I'm eighteen!", Spike sighed, but chuckled. "Thank you Mom. You even got my favorite!", He grinned widely as he took a bite out of the rock-candy cupcake.
"You'll always be my baby, Spike, no matter how old you get. And of course, I know you like the back of my cl- hand! Hahaha...!", Spinal looked nervous to Spike, but he seemingly didn't hear that mis-hap.
"That was the best cupcake Mom! What are those?", He asked, pointing at the box and envelope.
"This is your present from yours truly, and your acceptance lett-!", His mom exclaimed in Glee, watching as Spike's mouth dropped at the words about the letter, and he zipped at his mom as quick as his lanky teenage body could carry him, grabbing the letter, and opening it.
As Spike got the letter open, he pulled the paper out from inside, and started reading it.
Spike Draconi, we would like to inform you that we have got your results. According to these results, we are happy to say you are accepted to Wonder Colts Academy! Once you have gotten this letter, head to your nearest airport and look for a blue and yellow bus with WCA on the side. After that we will handle everything from there
As soon as Spike finished reading it, it started to glow brighter until it combusted in his hands, turning to ash, which left him freaking out for a minute.
"Spike, calm down! It's okay, that's supposed to be normal at the academy, I should know as I went there myself! The previous principal I had was called Abacus Cinch, and she was pretty mean, but the new Principals should be very nice!", His mother said in a quick manner effectively making Spike calm down a bit.
Spike looked at the box in her hands, and as Spinel gave it to him, he quickly opened it like a nine year old at Christmas. Spike gasped as he looked at the glimmering suit, grinning as he imagined himself in it. He looked up at his mom with a bright grin still plastered on his face, and hugged her as tightly as he could.
"Mom.... This is the best present you've ever gotten me. I'll look like a royal if I wear the at College!", Spike exclaimed, and his mother giggled.
"Yep, just like a prince!", She said, and Spike suddenly gasped, and sat down so quickly, you'd think he was a dog. "Did I say something wrong Spike?", His mom asked. Spike shook his head, then told her everything that happened this morning before she walked in. She was about to ask if he was just dreaming, when he said he can still see it now, and started looking for something to prove his point when he looked at the suit.
"This is how I'll prove it to you.", He said, grabbed hold of the suit, and after speaking 'Inventory', changed his clothes to the suit within seconds. "Woah. That's a little dis-orienting.", Spike said as he felt the sleeves tighten on his arms a bit, and his pants seemed to have just gotten longer. His shoes, now boots, were snug around his feet, and on his head now laid a princely crown.
His mother sat there with her jaw dropped, having seen everything change within the blink of an eye, was still freaking out in her mind. Spike seeing this thought maybe it wasn't such a good idea to show his Mom, even though he knew having someone to confide about it would help massively, he didn't exactly have a 'Seonil' around all the time, the only one that fit the bill was called Discord, but he hasn't seen him in three years ever since he went to study to be a teacher.
". . . Mom? You okay?", Spike asked, and jumped in fright as Spinel zipped into his face asking if he knew how he got it, if she had a title like Jihan's mother did, and if he was going to be careful with the power. "' think so, yes, and of course I will'", was the order of his response. "Anyway, I need to head to the airport, so let me get packed, and take a shower, okay mom? I'll be right back." He went back up to his room, grabbed his suitcase to fill with clothes, and a few things he liked, then stored them in his inventory. After that, he grabbed his special box that was filled with memories from the past, and stored that as well.
"Ooooookay I'm all packed! Time to go!", He exclaimed with a smile, anticipating the stuff he was gonna do once he got there. As he stepped outside with Spinel, they got in the car, and started driving to the airport.
As Spike and Spinel made their way to the airport, Spike decided to check his skills. Those were always important in MMO's, and they were important in The Gamer, so he thought 'Why not?'.
"Skills.", He said, this time not yelling, so he wouldn't scare his mom. In just a second, the screen popped back up, showing him six sets of skills, two easily recognizable.
He smiles that he already has skills that sound good, so he didn't bother checking what they meant. He could do that on the bus. After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the airport, and parked near what the letter described as the bus to take him to his new school
"Alright, gotta go mom, I'll see you in a couple years!", Spike said as he smiled and hugged Spinel, who hugged back with tears in her eyes. After their final farewells, he got out and walked to the bus, seeing a young woman who looked not much older than him, with dark purple, almost black, hair which seemed to sway on it's own, like there was wind going on.
"Ah, Spike Dracon we presume? We hath been waiting for you to cometh on thine journey! We are the Vice Principal of Wonder Colts Academy and Thy name is Luna Lovegood. Ye have such a nice suit! What, preparing to look like a prince to impress the ladies?", She spoke with a strange accent, and way of speaking, then giggled at the end of it.
Spike blushed a bit in mild embarrassment, but smiled and offered a hand to her. "Yes ma'am, my name is Spike. It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Lovegood. . . Wait a minute, that sounds like from that one book about Harry Potter?", He said confused.
"It's Miss Lovegood, or just Luna if ye'd like. Yes, we happen to know the author, who was a classmate of thine sister. She wanted to borrow thy name, and so we said 'why not?'", Luna giggled as she saw Spike's jaw drop.
"Really???! She's like one of my favorite book authors, if not most favorite! Does she work at the school???!", Spike asked with hopefully eyes, but his hopes were shot down as she giggled, but said no.
"Sorry to burst thine bubble, but no, she doth not worketh there. Maybe we could get ye a meeti-", she was interrupted as Spike zoomed towards her at lightning fast speeds, catching her off-gaurd.
"You are now my favorite vice-principle in history, and if you need help with anything just ask! Ooooh, meeting JK Rowling has always been one of my biggest dreams!", Spike yelled rather quickly, making Luna feel like Spike is acting like a certain nerdy girl, one who has purple, majenta, and indigo hair.
"That makes us happy to hear that, Mr. Dracon. Well, since ye are finally here, we can put thine luggage away, and be on our way to the academy. Where is thine luggage by the way?", She asked in question, still a little amused.
Spike stopped for a moment, chuckled, then sighed a bit. "Sorry about that. Anywho, I don't have any luggage with me, I decided to go without anything, and just buy new clothes. Didn't want to be a bother on you. Well, let's go!", Spike said, and before Luna could respond, he went into the bus, going near the back.
As Luna got back on the bus, and started it, and after thirty minutes of driving, Spike was fast asleep. Luna used this to her advantage, and used her power to quickly teleport said bus to the academies gates, and drove up the driveway, all the way to the school, when she made sure no one was around. Deciding to let him sleep, she shut the bus off, then took a nap as well. ----------------------------------------------------------
As Spike woke up, he noticed two things. One, the bus was stopped. Two, his screen was telling him a quest opened up.
Quests: Survive The Day - Time- 24 hrs
Sub-quest- Check into classes (can be done tomorrow)
Sub-quest- Gain Friends
Sub-quest- Learn Magic
Sub-quest- Check into Dorm (can be done tomorrow)
Sub-quest- Learn to Defend against Dark Magic
Rewards- 1,500 exp, Friendship Pendant of Fire, Dark Magic Affinity (low)
Spike was utterly shocked. Magic. It was telling him to learn real magic. Okay, he was less shocked than he should be, considering he read the comics.
But he was still shocked nonetheless. And friends? Maybe that would be the toughest part of the quest since he didn't see- wait. What was that in the distance? To Spike, it looked like a rainbow colored blur for three seconds till it disapeared. But he knew he saw it. It was the exact same thing he saw when he met-
"Rainbow Dash..??? No, stop, that was just an illusion, there's no way. It's been ten years since then. There's no way that it could be-", Spike was interrupted as he saw the blur again. But this time coming straight at him.
" Oh Shi-", and as he was about to finish those words, he was barreled into by said rainbow blur. And then he heard the most familiar sounding laugh he's ever heard. "Rainbow Dash..? Is that really you?"
And then it stopped. She stared at Spike, until suddenly he was tackled to the ground... Again. "SPIKE??! What are you doing here??!", The girl exclaimed, who at the moment looked happier, but had tears forming in her eyes.
Spike just looked at her face, completely shocked that it was really her. "You..... You're really here. It's... It's been so long since I've seen you-", he was interrupted again by Rainbow hugging him so tight, it was hard to breathe. "R... Rainbow! I can't breathe!", He yelled.
Rainbow Dash immediately let go of him, stood up, and pulled him up, just to hug him again tightly. He blushed, still not used to feminine contact, aside from his mom. He decided to Observe her, and her stats came up.
Rainbow Dash - lvl 18
Title: Fastest Filly Alive, Crashing Speed Junkie Description: Extremely happy she met you again, ready for some more speedy-crashing, a possible love-interest-
Spike stopped reading her decription there, with an embarrassed blush. He didn't want to read any further if the System would start spouting THAT nonsense.
Spike wasn't surprised at these stats, knowing how fast she is. As he looked back at Rainbow Dash directly, she had a smug look on her face, with a hint of something else.
"What are you looking at Spike? Something catch your eye?", She asked, and this caused Spike to blush again, realizing he was staring too intently. He cleared his throat, and spoke up.
"Ha ha... Sorry, was just seeing how tall you've grown since then, considering you and the other girls were at least two feet taller than me. But it looks like I may be taller now.", Spike grinned back, clearly reveling in this fact.
Rainbow seemed to pout after that, but smiled after a second. "So, how'd you manage to get here anyways? The barri-", She was interrupted by Luna Lovegood herself as she stepped out of the bus yawning.
"Spike, ye need to head to thine sisters off- oh hello Rainbow Dash, didn't expect see ye this early. Stopped being lazy for once in thine life?", Luna giggled as Rainbow got an embarrassed expression.
"She's still lazy? Man, some things never change", Spike said while trying not to laugh. Rainbow pouted some more, and turned to face Luna again.
"I'll have you know, I ran around the school a hundred times!", She yelled indignantly, but was embarrassed even more as a certain blonde cow-girl came up snickering like them as well.
"Which lasted for a minute before you slept for two hours. Didn't it Dash?", Asked a smirking Apple Jack, but she stopped smirking as she took one look at Spike. "Well Ah'll be. Is that you Spike?"
Spike took one look at the cow-girl, and smiled. "Hey Apple Jack! I'd recognize that stetson hat anywhe-", he was interrupted as he was crushed into a pulp as AJ hugged him. "-and stronger than ever...!"
"Spike.... We've all missed yeh terribly, ya know? Pinkie hasn't exactly been quite the same since you left Canterlot Elementry. Neither have I, to be honest.", Apple Jack and Spike chuckled a bit at her last words, both knowing she is a 'tad' too much with her honesty. Couldn't keep a secret if it could save her life.
" About that. Are the rest of the girls here? I'd like to surprise them. Especially Twilight, and even more-so Pinkie. I specifically remember her being a party animal.", Spike smiled again, as he thought about his child-hood friends. Speaking of child-hood...
"Also, do any of you happen to know a guy named Discord? He was my closest friend three years ago, and he came here to study to be a teacher. I... Haven't heard from him since.", Spike said with regret in his voice.
The three females looked shocked at first, then smiled at the same time. " We remember such a person. He liked to wear such odd clothes, it made Rarity go crazy because of, and we quote, 'OH THE HORROR, OF ALL THE FASHION CHOICES, HE MIS-MATCHED PLAID, AND STRIPES! THIS IS THE WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!', and proceeded to faint on thine sister's chair right after.", Luna spoke first.
Rainbow almost couldn't contain her laughter as she and AJ told similar stories, involving 'crimes against fashion' with Rarity. Spike couldn't, and busted out laughing, because he knew how she was when he wore mis-matched socks one day.
Spike, Rainbow, and Applejack walked together with Luna to the principal's office, and as soon as they got there the two girls said goodbye.
"Ah've got to work on my farm, it's a mile from here, so I'll see you two again tomorrow. And Spike, you're invited to our families Heartswarming party in a week. You can't say no, y'hear?", Applejack said with a bright grin on her face, clearly happier than she'd been in a long time.
Spike didn't argue. "I wouldn't miss it for the world, AJ.", He says smiling back, and then he patted her head. "I'll see you tomorrow then."
Now it was Rainbow's turn to say goodbye, and she gave him a huge hug, a girly kind of hug that could only be brought out by him.
"Spike, I gotta go too. Got a sister to take care of at home, even though she's only two years younger than me. Bye Spike~!", She exclaimed in a flirtatious manner as she left, speeding through town to who knows where her home is.
Spike smiled, glad that he got to see them, then he straightened up, and spoke to Luna. "So what are we doing here for? Is it for classes, or dorm setups? Cuz it's quite late into the evening, Miss Lovegood.", Spike said, a little anxious to get started on his magic training, which he assumed he'd do in his 'rooms' he'd have to make.
"Oh no, today we're just introducing you to all the teachers so you can get to know them. Tomorrow we'll settle what classes you'll take. We're already getting your dorm situated, and I'm sure your neighbors and dorm mates will enjoy meeting you." Luna said with a bright smile. Almost as if it was a grin but Spike couldn't tell.
Spike and Luna stepped into her office, and standing in the middle of the room were several people who had different pony-like features, and there was even a draconic looking one. He appeared grumpy even while smiling and laughing with his fellow teachers, and as he saw Spike, he stepped up to him.
"Spike Dracon, it's great to finally meet you. My name is Torch Bloodstone, and I'm the Fire Elements teacher. There are a thousand different types of Flames, and I could teach you many If you are willing to learn my boy" , Torch says, and pats Spike on the Shoulder. Spike blanched. They had magic classes? Spike not used to being talked to in such a respectful manner by a stranger got really confused on how to respond.
Another teacher walks up, who is incredibly buff compared to everyone else, even Torch. "As Torch has said, it is incredibly nice to meet you, dude! My name is Bulk Biceps, and I'm one of the coaches, I teach Basketball, Football, and Hockey." Spike shakes his hand, and on comes another person.
The woman was attractive to say the least, and she almost looked like Rainbow Dash, mostly in the Tomboy fashion. It seems she noticed him checking her out cuz she had a grin on her face.
"Hey big guy, I'm Spitfire Phoenix, and I'm the other coach, I teach Soccer, Baseball, and I'm the leader of the Wonderbolts, who are some of the best flyers here in Canterlot University. Would you like to know anything else handsome~?", Spitfire asked in a flirtatious manner, but she was interrupted by a pale lemony haired woman, with her eyes both apart for some reason.
"Hello Spike, I'm Derpy Hooves, and I teach Astro-physics with my brother Doctor Whooves. He's also our Medical Practitioner. It's very nice to meet you, I hope I can see you in my class.", She said in a very nice and calm manner while taking out a muffin and munching on it. Spike decided there he liked her a lot, and would definitely take her class.
There were four more teachers remaining to talk to, and one of them stepped up to speak. She looked awfully familiar. "Howdy sonny, how long were ye gonna make my old bones wait to see you again, Spike?", Asked the old woman, who appeared kind, and wise.
Spike quickly realized who she was. "Granny Apple Smith? You teach here? It's so good to see you by the way!", Spike exclaimed and pulled the old woman into a hug, which she returned in full.
Out of the other two teachers who were in the shadows, the female stepped out, reveling herself to be an up-tight looking woman, with slight pony features, and a stern look.
"My name is Miss Harshwhinney, and I expect you to be attentive if you take my class, or we will have problems, got it? I teach potions.", She finished with a huff, and stepped back into the shadows, making Spike have a weird sense of deja vu, but then the last teacher walked out, shocking Spike.
"Well look who stepped up, and took up your claws, It appears you've grown, old pal", said an older but at the same time younger voice which confused others on what his age range was. The person who stepped out of the shadows was his best friend, Discord.
"You're a teacher here??! That's so awesome dude! I'm sorry I hadn't written you a letter in such a long time, but I couldn't pinpoint a location-", Spike was interrupted by Discord, with his hand popping out of the air, and somehow literally zipping his lips. To say Spike was shocked would be an understatement.
"Ab-bub-bub-bub-buh! I know how you feel. And I'm honored, truly really honored, but you have some gaming to do, don't you?", Discord asked, and while Spike's eyes widened, the rest of the teachers raised one of their eyebrows, each.
"Ye know Spike, Discord? We didn't take ye as the kind of being to take interests in others, and we dare say, it's truly an astounding thing. What do ye mean by 'gaming'? We are very well versed in the games of today's youths, but it sounds weird coming from ye", Luna spoke, which confused Spike as her accent started to really dip in the style of Ye Olde.
"Why, Luna, I'm so hurt! Of course I can take normal interests, I'm not an immortal being with no cares about anyone but myself. Or am I? Maybe I'm a mix of the two. Who knows! It's such a wonder that would really boggle the mind.", Discord spoke again, his voice the same as it was when Spike met him, not really noticing that his looks were almost the exact same as well. As if he hadn't aged.
Spike mumbled as loudly as he could to get the attention from his old friend, but said person just smirked, winked, and when Spike blinked, he was gone. Everyone around him seemed to take this as normal, but it still freaked him out a bit.
It was a few minutes before Spike had his mouth back, literally, and they departed from the teachers, who Spike learned were only a select few who stayed at the school longer than the others. Before they departed though, Spike met Luna's sister, Celestia Sinderderg, who didn't seem interested in talking to Spike at the time as she was stuffing her face with what looked like cake.
"We are sorry ye had to seeith our sister in that way, she is usually much more refined. If ye can stop by tomorrow, we can speak again. Maybe ye can tell us what Discord meant by 'gaming', hmm? Now, let us introduce ye to thy roommates.", Luna said, and as they turned a corner, Spike noticed he didn't see many male students at first, aside from the occasional few, an oddball, a nerd, a gamer who seemed the type he'd be friends with.
Luna stopped at a door labeled with the numbers six, four, and nine. She knocked, and a girl with headphones on answered, bobbing her head to the beat. Spike waved, and she in turn waved back as Luna began to speak again.
" Vinyl Scratch, a pleasure to see ye as always. We hath cometh to introduce ye and thy friends to thine new dorm mate. We hope ye treat him kindly", Luna said, and bowed to the now named girl, who bowed in return, and smiled brightly at Spike, holding her hand out.
"Nice ta meetcha dude. I hope we get along well, as you heard I'm Vinyl Scratch! I'm a part-time DJ, and my favorite color is blue. You dude?", She asked in a strange way to talk, but not nearly as strange as Luna's way of speech.
"My name is Spike Dracon, it's nice to meet you too. I like to game in my spare time, and my favorite color is green.", Spike said, taking her hand, and they both shook.
"Well, now that that is in order, we will see ye tomorrow! We hope you have a nice rest of thy first day at our school!", Luna said, and smiled at the young man, as he smiled back, and waved good bye as she walked back to the main building, which would take at least ten minutes by foot.
"Well dude, c'mon in, I have some people to introduce you too!", Vinyl said as she took his hand again, and pulled him inside, and he only just now saw what she was wearing. A tank top, and boxer shorts. But hey, this was their place, so he didn't question it, though, he did blush at the sight.
They made their way farther in to the home, and only now Spike noticed how big this place was. It wasn't just a dorm, it was a dorm that could easily fit eight people if they wanted to, and he wondered how many dorm mates he'd have.
Soon, it was made apparent there was already at least five others aside from Vinyl and Spike, and they all sounded female., Which made his teenaged mind wander, but he got it under control quickly enough.
"Hey girls, our new Dorm-mate is here!", Yelled Vinyl, and this caused the others voices to quiet down. Soon, four girls came stumbling out of one of the rooms, which appeared to be a kitchen, all in pretty much the same style of clothing as Vinyl, which made Spike blush further in embarrassment.
They were all very pretty, and one of them looked familiar to him. But he couldn't remember where he's seen her before. The other girls, one who looked to have draconic features like him, one with griffon like feathers in her hair, one who had red and yellow hair, and last of all one who had a Cello on her back, like it weighed nothing.
They each introduced themselves, the draconic female going first. She had orange-ish hair, and magenta eyes.
"Nice to meetcha, lil dude! I'm Smolder Eldritch. Anything interesting you wanna tell us?", She asked, and smiled, her fangs glinting in the light. Spike felt a little annoyed at being called little, but he didn't say anything. The next person came up, this one was the one with feathers in her hair.
"Hiya! It's super cool to meet another draconic member of the species! I'm Gabby Goober, it's super nice to meet you, I hope we can be great friends!", She said enthusiastically, which reminded him of a certain pink haired girl.
The next one to step up was the red and yellow haired girl, with pony features, and a horn on her forehead.
"Hi, I'm Sunset Shimmer! Maybe we can play games together later, if you are interested?", Spike blinked at the word 'games', but it didn't mean anything to the rest, so he chuckled and nodded.
The last two girls were left, the familiar one, and the one with the Cello, which the latter spoke up first.
"It's nice to meet you. My name is Octavia Melody, do you like music? I'm a cellist.", Said the girl, and after Spike nodded, she took his answer in stride.
The last girl was a pale girl, with emerald green eyes, and her hair was split in the middle, and ended in curls, with pink and white.
"Hey there! My name is Sweetie Andadora Belle. I think my sister mentioned something about someone like you. Do you know Rarity?", Asked the girl, and Spike snapped his fingers.
"I knew you looked familiar! It's nice to meet all of you, my name is Spike Dracon. I hope we can be good friends!", He said, and bowed slightly, which made his crown tilt down his face, nearly falling.
The girls chuckled as they saw this, and as Spike straightened up, Vinyl took his hand once again, and led him to the three rooms they had available.
"I hope you enjoy getting settled in, but uh, where's your stuff?", She asked, now noticing the no luggage part. Spike just chuckled nervously, and thought of something quick.
"Oh, around, all I have to do is-", and as he took his hand behind his back for dramatic effect, he pulled out one of his things from his inventory, and presented it to Vinyl. Who giggled in surprise.
"Oooh, a human-magic enthusiast, huh? We have a few of those here, but that seems more advanced than any tricks they pulled off. You use real magic to do that?", She asked, and Spike in response, just shrugged his shoulders.
"Ehhh, kinda. I never really knew magic actually existed until yesterday, but hey, one picks up skills when observing others-", and then Spike had an epiphany, stopping his talking immediately, and his mind swam with the possibilities.
He walked past Vinyl straight towards the third room unconsciously, not hearing anything else she said as he closed and locked the door, and started decorating his room. ~
It was a few hours later that he came out with slight bags under his eyes from the constant gaming he did earlier, viewing his new skills.

Satisfied with the results, but also strangely irked with one of them, he didn't realize he was staring blankly at a wall as one of the girls spoke.
"Hey, how long are you gonna ogle the wall. Until it becomes pretty? That's what we are here for dude!", Exclaimed a teasing voice, and as he looked, he found it was Smolder who said it.
"S... Sorry, I had some things on my mind. What were you saying?", Spike asked embarrassingly, and the girl chuckled.
"I was trying to ask you what you wanted to eat, but we already ordered pizza. You want any?", She asked, and Spike if course shook his head yes.
"Absolutely! I'll eat anything at this point really. I just got finished with a session if Undertale*. Both fights were exhausting to finish at the end.", Spike said, and just as he was about to get a drink of water, Sunset Shimmer appeared, clearly enthusiastic at what she heard.
"I love that game! Though I feel bad for that Chara character, she gets blamed a lot from lots of Undertale* fans. When we are clearly the bad person for choosing the genocide route, but hey, I've only done it once. The music with Sans was an amazing part of it though.", She said, and while everyone looked at her, like they didn't understand, Spike understood completely.
"Exactly! Though, you gave me something to think about, I'm gonna have to ponder this-", Spike was interrupted when Gabby came in with the stack of pizza boxes, and yelled out loud.
"Ponder later, food now! Spike, can you go get the soda from that nice delivery girl? Also, I didn't pay yet, take this.", She asked, and Spike nodded, heading to get it, with the money in hand.
He came upon a pink haired girl. His jaw dropped, as did the girl's, and they he felt two pairs of arms wrap around his gut so fast, it was like she teleported them there.
After a heart warming reunion with Pinkie Pie, and he had paid her the money, he walked back into the dorm, soda in hand. He had gained her number on his phone so he could contact her anytime, and he would do so later on.
He arrived back in the main kitchen, seeing Gabby and Smolder having an eating contest with two of the pizzas, Sunset watching with a small grin, and passing a small stack of cash to Octavia, as did Vinyl. In the end, Smolder came out on top, and Sunset took both stacks with an even wider smile.
"Did I miss out on betting? That's a fun game! How could y'all start without me?", Spike asked with a chuckle, placing the soda on the counter, as Sunset put an arm around his shoulders.
"Aw we would've included you, but you were taking too long. Something interesting happen with the delivery girl?", She asked with a smirk, but it turned into a regular smile as Spike explained who Pinkie was. "Aww, that's sweet! Old friends, reunited, a romance in the making!"
"No no, no no no! Stop! We're just old friends! Besides, she wouldn't date a guy like me, we haven't seen each other in years.", Spike said with an embarrassed blush prominately in his face.
"Ah phooey, I'll think what I want hot stuff, if anything is to go by your personality and looks, you are the catch of the century.", Sunset said as she took a bite of her pizza, winking at him at the same time, which caused him to blush even more.
"Sunset, I agree completely. Now let's get back to eating!", Vinyl said, and grabbed another slice, as Spike had a pineapple, ham, and bacon covered pizza slice. -
After they all had their fill, with Soda as their drinks, they all went to the livingroom together, Spike being dragged with them to watch a movie before school began the next day.
It was an interesting movie about a kid that was a wizard, that didn't know about it until he was eleven. Spike knew the movie, but didn't say anything, and just enjoyed it.
Later that night, after everyone had gone to sleep, Spike started writing up possibilities on where to earn more skills, or stats without leveling up, and he had a decent list up, but not anything too exciting, if you were skilled in magic that is, so to Spike, this was a huge breakthrough.
He already conjured up dark abilities, like shadow manipulation and dark blast v1, but it took to much mana coming up with them, so he decided to sleep there. -
The next morning, Spike was awoken to knocking on his door, and some voices. Sunset's and Smolder's to be exact.
"Spike, Vice Principal Luna is here for you! Get your ass up, or I'll come in there and burn that ass!", Smolder said with threatening voice, which made Spike get up instantly, and opened the door.
Sounds like Someone isn't a morning person. Ah well "Hey, just gimme a minute girls, I've gotta get dressed. Tell Miss Luna Lovegood to wait for me please.", Spike asked, as he closed the door again, and went through his list of clothes mentally for his first day of school.
It's always a good thing to wear something that presents a good reputation, but not something too snotty, not something that insinuates you're a shut-in, shy, or anything like that, unless you were someone like Fluttershy, which that is just her.
He came out eventually, wearing a green striped t-shirt, a purple jacket, some dark purple colored pants, and some purple and green snow-boots. To finish his look, he grabbed a purple and green backpack from his inventory, with all the necessary supplies for the main four classes.
"All right, I'm ready. Y'all gonna get dressed too?", Spike asked as he looked at the two barely covered girls, a blush beginning to make it's way to his face again.
"We don't have classes til later this afternoon. We were just woken up by Miss Goth Queen outside the door, from our lovely dreams. Ugh. Hm. Nice 'Fit, I think my brother would approve, aside from the purple, he might laugh at that.", Smolder said, looking over Spike's choice of clothes. Spike chuckled a bit.
"Well, I've always been fond of these two colors, and I somehow always manage to find clothes that suit me in the stores. Maybe I'll meet your brother today, eh Smolder? Anywho, I'll see y'all later today-", Spike said, but was interupted by Sunset drowsily kissing his forehead, patting his hair, and chuckling softly.
"You have a good day, Gamer boy, you just wait, I'll be teasing-", and then suddenly she was asleep on his shoulder. Smolder groaned as she grabbed Sunset's form, and pulled by her arms trying to bring her back to her room.
"Ugh, this is stupid. I wanna sleep too, but you could have stayed with me til they left, Bacon-girl. Spike-", she was interrupted as Spike had already grabbed Sunset in his arms, and smiled in understanding.
"Just lead me to her room, I'll take care of it.", Spike said, and Smolder blushed a bit as she looked at his shoulder muscles, which showed under the shirt and jacket.
" Y... Yeah, yeah, I got it. Right this way.", Smolder said, leading him to the other end of the large common room, and to the first room.
She opened the door, leading him in, and as he set Sunset on her bed, he felt the prickling sensation of being watched, but in a good way. He turned around, and it was just Smolder, but she was blushing a little deeply.
"I gotta go now, but maybe we can talk in the afternoon. See ya!", He said as he patted Smolder's head, then left out the door, and opened the front door, getting greeted by Miss Luna right away. She seemed pretty tired herself.
"Good morning Mr. Dracon, We are going to settle your schedule today, and throughout the rest of the week, ye may pick extra classes ye may want to take. Follow Us- er Me. Follow Me.", Luna said, seemingly frustrated with something, but Spike decided not to pry.
And with that, they tred their way up to the main School building, and Spike just noticed some buildings... Up in the sky.... On floating islands. This is gonna get weird.
