> Extra Credit > by The Dragon Warlock > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Making the Grade > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “That was such a great time, Gallus!” A blue griffon grunted as a pink hippogriff embraced him. “Thanks, Silverstream, but can you try not to kill me?” A sky blue changeling smiled. “I admit that was better than I expected, Gallus. I expected to leave that place running again like the last three places you took us.” Gallus’ face hardened. “Thanks for the vote of confidence, Ocellus,”  he said, sarcastically. “Yona had a good time with Sandbar!”  a tall, burly yak proudly stated. “That buffet may not have lived up to yak standards, but Yona had fun!” A sea-green unicorn smiled sheepishly. “I’m glad you had fun. I just hope we can go back there,”  he whispered, “eventually.” The five creatures chatted with one another. All the while, a rather petite, but curvy, orange dragoness in torn blue jeans and a black shirt that showed off her midriff tapped her foot impatiently. She looked away to hide her rolling her eyes over what she was hearing and blew a soft raspberry about it. Smolder gazed around the school’s courtyard and shuddered from what she saw. Various creatures were hanging close to each other. She saw a female pony and a male hippogriff snuggle against each other. Two dragon guys were holding hands as they walked down the cobblestone path. A female changeling and a female pony laid underneath the tree and held each other. Smolder groaned and buried her head in her hands. “Yo, Smolder!” “Huh?”  The dragoness looked up to see her friends with concerned looks on them. “You okay?”  asked Ocellus. Smolder waved a hand. “Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just getting sappy around here.” “What do you mean?”  wondered Silverstream. “I mean all these creatures dating and everything,”  answered Smolder. “It’s just so, well, gagging.” Gallus raised an eyebrow. “Does this have to do with the fact that you’re one of the only ones who–” “No,”  Smolder interrupted, harshly. “Dragons don’t get all this mushy over each other. I’m just getting a little sick watching all these couples get sappy like this.” “Smolder needs to know how good love is,”  said Yona. “Sandbar and I are happier than before we started dating.” “What Yona means is that perhaps if you found someone you like, you would see what it’s all about,”  corrected Sandar. “Thanks, but no thanks,”  said Smolder. “I just don’t see the point. I don’t mind it at all.” Silverstream frowned. “Smolder, we’re just trying to–” “Help, I know,”  she finished. “I’m just not interested. Why can’t you all understand that?” “Take it easy,”  said Gallus. “You don’t need to get angry at us.” “Well, maybe you guys shouldn’t be bragging about your dates!” The whole group looked at Smolder in shock. The dragoness grunted in frustration and stood up. “You know what? I’ve got homework to do. I’ll see you guys later.” Smolder marched off and headed for the doors of the dormitory. She put a hand on the handle, but she felt another hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw a somber Ocellus standing before her. The dragoness rolled her eyes. “Look, I already told you that I’m fine.” “I don’t even need to be a changeling to know what you’re feeling,”  said Ocellus. “We didn’t mean to make you feel left out like that.” Smolder rubbed her fingers between her brows. “It’s no big deal. I’m just sick of hearing about what you guys do on your dates.” “You know I can feel it,”  said Ocellus. “Feel what?”  asked Smolder. “You don’t feel mad or upset,”  she answered. “You’re sad about it, aren’t you?” Smolder said nothing. “Was there someone you liked?” Smolder turned away. “I don’t mean to pry, but I know through personal experience about–”  The changeling was interrupted as Smolder pulled her to the side and looked her in the face with fury. “NO!”  she barked. Ocellus cowered a bit. Smolder looked at Ocellus and her expression softened a bit. “Look, I don’t mean to get angry, but I just don’t feel like talking about it.” “One day perhaps?”  asked Ocellus. Smolder sighed wearily. “I’d rather not say. I need to get back to our room. I need to look in my notebook for–”  Smolder stopped for a moment and gasped. “My notebook! I forgot it!” “Where is it?”  wondered Ocellus. “I think I left it in Professor Rarity’s classroom,”  she answered. “I’m going to get it and head back to our room. I’ll see you later, okay?” Ocellus nodded. “Just don’t be afraid to talk to me if you want to.” Smolder looked away. “I’ll keep that in mind.”  The dragoness began to walk off towards another section of the school. Smolder’s footsteps echoed throughout the empty hallway. All the doors were locked and the lights turned off for the day as classes ended. She turned a corner in the hall and saw a large figure walk into Rarity’s classroom. The dragoness raised an eyebrow and decided to quietly walk up towards the classroom. I’ve never seen anyone that big in the class before,  she thought. Smolder started to hear a muffled voice she barely recognized as Rarity’s coming from the classroom. She heard a deep voice and froze up for a moment. That voice; I’ve heard it before. She reached the door and stood firmly against the wall. She heard Rarity giggling coming from it and the deep voice again. Smolder took a deep breath and put a hand on the doorknob. She slowly turned it and opened the door very slightly. “Oh, darling, I think there is a way to help make up this abysmal grade you got,”  said Rarity in a sultry voice. “Anything for you, Professor Rarity,”  a male voice said. Smolder’s eyes widened. That voice; is it him? The dragoness peeked her head and had to clap a hand over her mouth. Lying on a desk across the room was Rarity with her sky blue blouse unbuttoned and showing off her bosom. In front of her head was a naked muscular purple dragon with green scales holding his phallus in one hand. Smolder took a step back. Vice Head-Drake Spike!? She ducked behind the wall and slowly peeked her head out. Rarity was on her back and had her mouth wide open. Spike smirked as he placed his rod in her mouth and heard a muffled moan from her. Spike slowly pushed his hips in and out as he thrust his member into Rarity’s mouth. The unicorn closed her eyes and moved a hand towards her magenta long skirt. Her hand slipped underneath and began to rub her soaking wetness.  Spike’s thrusting got faster, and he placed a hand on Rarity’s breast to rub it. The unicorn moaned a bit louder as she felt Spike’s hand knead and roll around her breast. She felt a slight pinch on her nipple that sent a chill down her. Spike smirked as he could feel Rarity melting from what she was feeling. Smolder was hypnotized by what she was seeing. The sounds her professor made as she was taking in Spike’s member. The slurping and sucking of his rod. Her eyes were glued on Spike’s throbbing phallus. She couldn’t help but stare at how big it looked, the ridges on it, and how it throbbed. She bit her lip and felt her heart racing. The dragoness, unconsciously, lowered a hand down to her crotch and rubbed against it slowly. She could see herself lying on that same desk taking in Spike’s rod. The thought of being held down and being ravished like how her professor was. The smell of musk started to fill her nostrils. It made Smolder feel a little lightheaded. Spike let out a groan and then a sigh of relief. Rarity’s eyes opened as the drake’s seed pumped into her mouth. She swallowed as much as she could before tapping Spike on his side. He moved away, and the unicorn sat up and coughed. “You okay?”  wondered Spike. Rarity nodded. “It was certainly something, Spike. I think we should go back to the boutique and finish up. Who knows if any other students will show up for questions?” Smolder broke out of her trance and looked down at herself. She could see even through her dark blue jeans that she was soaked. A few bits of her wetness dripped onto the floor and gulped a little.  “I’ll go get something to clean this up and some air freshener,”  said Spike. Smolder panicked and moved away from the door. She spread her wings, turned around, and flew down the hallway as fast as she could. The dragoness flew around the corner and sped down the hall with enough force to make a few doors rattle. She saw the main door and slowed down enough to grab the handle and open it to leave. The rest of the trip back to the dormitory was all a blur for Smolder. She passed by some students and soon reached her and Ocellus’ room. She went in and, thankfully, found Ocellus wasn’t back yet. The dragoness landed on the ground and could feel her body shaking violently. She clutched her chest and felt her heart pounding. She stayed still and took several deep breaths. Her heart, eventually, settled down and could feel her body stop shaking. Smolder took a few steps towards her bed and collapsed onto it. Her mind was racing with what she witnessed. The look of her professor on the desk and what Spike had done to her played out in her head constantly. She got up and rubbed her head in frustration. She looked at her soaked pants and quickly got out of them and her white panties and threw them in a white bin. “I need to relax,”  she told herself. “I’ve heard some things about what Professor Rarity and Vice–Head Drake Spike do, but I didn’t think I’d ever see it myself. It’s probably something involving what couples do.” She sniffed a little as something filled her nostrils. She looked at herself to see her cooch smothered in her juices and blushed in embarrassment. “Maybe a shower will take my mind off things. I need to just calm down and forget what I saw. What they don’t know won’t hurt me, or get me in detention.” Smolder removed her black shirt and white bra and tossed them into the bin. She stepped into the bathroom and made her way to the glass-windowed shower. She turned the hot water on and stepped in. The water wasn’t anywhere near hot for dragon standards like lava, but Smolder learned to deal with it. Smolder let the water drip over her as she looked down. She tried to relax, but every time she closed her eyes she saw the images of Spike and Rarity going at it. Her mind focused on one thing in particular; Spike’s phallus. The size of it, the ridges against it, and the way it looked all stuck out in her mind. The faint smell of his musk made her shiver a little. The dragoness shook her head. “Heh. It’s hard to believe that squirt grew up to be like that.” She remembered when she first properly met him when he was going through the Molt. He was a runt back then and looked lost. She’s seen him go from the little guy she liked to tease to becoming the Vice Head Drake of the school. “Sure, he’s kind of a dork, but he’s tolerable at least,”  she said to herself. “Professor Rarity is lucky to have him.”  She frowned a little. Smolder remembered hearing her professor and Spike being a couple and felt a tinge of disappointment in her. She was happy about him finally earning the mare he loved, but couldn’t help but feel a little sad about it. She leaned against the wall and shook her head. “Maybe I just miss hanging out with the guy now that he’s busy dating Professor Rarity and helping run the school. I mean, it’s not like I miss him with his dorky smile.”  Her face drooped. “His kindness, his antics, his big body, his big–” The dragoness slapped herself. “What am I thinking? He’s with Professor Rarity.”   She took several deep breaths and closed her eyes. Her mind was blank for a moment, but then the image of a naked Spike formed in her head again. She tried to push the image out, but she could see him moving onto her. He smiled at her as he took one of his hands and brushed it against her breast and down her body. The dragoness shuddered a little from the touch. She looked down to see his phallus erect and throbbing. The dragoness blushed and bit her lip in anticipation. Spike pressed himself against her and nearly fainted from how smooth his body felt. She could feel his member rubbing against her and stifled a moan. The ridges rubbed against her wetness and could already feel her knees buckling. Smolder looked up to Spike and leaned into his lips and– A knock came from the door. “Smolder?” The dragoness gasped and opened her eyes. She noticed she was on the shower floor and the room was in thick steam from the hot water. The knocking came again. “Smolder?” Smolder recognized it as Ocellus. “Um, yeah, I’m here,”  she quickly answered. “Are you having another one of those long, hot showers?”  she asked in an annoyed tone. “You know every time you’ve done that you don’t leave me with a lot of hot water.” “Sorry!”  she called out. “I kind of zoned out. I’ll remember next time.” Smolder heard a sigh from Ocellus. “I just stopped by to change quickly before going out with Silverstream and Gallus.” “Okay, I’ll see you later.” Smolder heard Ocellus’ footsteps echoing and the faint sound of a door closing. She straightened herself up and smelt something. She looked down and her eyes widened. Her fingers were deep into her slit and could see her sticky juices between her thighs. The dragoness looked down and could feel the heat building in her cheeks. She moved her hand away from her crotch and looked at it intensely. I shouldn’t be thinking like this,  she told herself. What am I thinking? Smolder got up and turned the water off. She dried herself off and felt nothing but buzzing fill her head. The following day was even more of a blur for Smolder than yesterday when she ran. The day flew by as she sat and listened to her professor’s lecture. She heard her friends talking, but didn’t listen or care about what they said. All she thought about is what she saw and did in the shower yesterday. She occasionally glanced at the hand she used yesterday in the shower unknowingly and felt a mixture of emotions every time she looked at it. “Smolder!” “Huh!? What!?”  The dragoness looked around and saw Ocellus looking at her suspiciously. “What’s wrong with you?”  she wondered. “You’ve been acting weird since last night.” Smolder waved a hand. “I’m okay,”  she said. “I’ve just got a lot on my mind. I’ll be okay.” “I don’t think so,”  said Ocellus. “You got hit three times in dodgeball today. You never got hit that many times.” “I didn’t see them coming,”  she replied. “I told you each time to look out, but you messed up.” Smolder sighed. “Can we let it go already? I want to get today over with.” Ocellus shrugged. “If you say so. We just arrived at Professor Rarity’s class.” Smolder stopped abruptly. “Wait! Professor Rarity?” Ocellus raised an eyebrow. “Yes? Who else could it be?” The dragoness took a step back. “Erm, you know what? I don’t feel that good. I’ll just skip this class.” Ocellus frowned. “Okay, what’s with you?”  she demanded. “You love the generosity classes the most. What’s wrong with you?” “Nothing!”  Smolder said louder than she wanted to. “I just don’t want to–” “Don’t want to what, darling?” The two girls turned around and saw Rarity looking at them with a curious expression on her. Ocellus gulped. “Erm, Smolder doesn’t want to be late for class.”  She grabbed Smolder’s arm tightly. “Right, Smolder?” The dragoness looked at Rarity and then at Ocellus’ forced smile. She let out a sigh and nodded in resignation. Rarity clapped her hands and smiled. “Wonderful! We have quite a lot today to go through. Come now!” Smolder tugged her arm away from Ocellus and walked into the classroom. Her eyes fell upon the desk, but she quickly looked away. She took her seat and sat still. Rarity talked to the class, but Smolder’s eyes fell upon the desk she was leaning against. It all came flooding back to her again. The sight of her teacher lying on the desk as she took in Spike’s member. The sounds of her muffled moans and the smell of musk echoed in her head. Smolder looked away and felt her body shaking a little. “Smolder?” “Huh!?”  The dragoness looked up and saw the class staring at her. Standing right in front of her was a stern Rarity. She gulped a little. “Did you hear what I said?”  asked the unicorn. Smolder rubbed the back of her head. “Um, no I was just erm, thinking is all.” Rarity crossed her arms. “I’ll say it again; do you have your homework?” Smolder’s eyes widened. The notebook! I forgot to ask Ocellus for help! “I’m going to assume with the way you look that it’s a no,”  said Rarity. Smolder said nothing and sunk into her chair. Rarity frowned. “Smolder, I want you to stay behind after class. I think we need to talk.” “But I–” “It’s either that, or it’s the Headmare’s office. It’s your choice.” Smolder tried to come up with another word, but one last look at Rarity made her sigh and slump back in defeat. “Alright,”  she quietly said. “Good,”  said Rarity. “Now, class, I want you to turn to page 394 in your books. We’re going to go over…” Smolder buried her head in her hands. What I wouldn’t give right now to have the ability to teleport like a unicorn. Smolder miserably sat through the rest of the class and kept her eye on Rarity walking around or showing off various dresses. The final bell rang and the class started to gather their stuff up to leave. Smolder didn’t bother to get up and looked at Ocellus. “I don’t suppose you can disguise yourself as me for this, could you?”  she wondered. Ocellus shook her head. “I did that once with Gallus as a favor for his detention. After what Professor Dash put me through, I’m never doing it again.” Smolder sighed. “Worth a shot at least.” Ocellus had a sympathetic look at her. “Just be honest with Professor Rarity and I’m sure you’ll be out in no time. I’ll see you back at the dormitory.” Smolder waved at the changeling lazily as she left the room. Rarity smiled at Ocellus and watched her walk out of the room. The dragoness looked around and saw it was empty sans for her and Rarity. The unicorn walked up to her and crossed her arms. “Smolder,”  she said, “is something the matter?” The dragoness sighed. “No, I’m fine.” “Even I don’t need to be the Element of Honesty to know you’re lying, darling.” Smolder huffed. “Your teachers say you haven’t been acting yourself,”  she said. “Rainbow said she’s never seen you play so poorly before.” “Hey, everyone has an off day now and then.” “I hardly consider the way you’ve been acting lately an ‘off day’ in my book.” “What’re you talking about?” “Smolder, you seem to be in a continuous bad mood; even for you,”  said Rarity. “Ocellus talked to me about some argument you got into with her and your other friends.” Smolder’s eyes narrowed. Ocellus, you snitch! “Don’t be upset at her,”  warned Rarity. “She has every right to be concerned about your well-being.” The dragoness sighed. “It’s….complicated,”  she said, hesitantly. Rarity was silent for a moment as she took it in. “I see. Well, I think maybe we should discuss this more somewhere private.” Smolder raised an eyebrow. “Private?” “My boutique,”  said the unicorn. “I want you to come by there later. You and I can talk about it more, and you can help model a few dresses to make up for the missed assignment.” Smolder held back a groan. “When do I need to be there?” “In one hour,”  answered Rarity. “Do be there as I’ll be forced to give you a zero for missing homework. I’d hate to do that to one of my best students.” Smolder looked down and nodded slowly. “Alright, I’ll be there.” Rarity smiled. “Wonderful!”  She walked over to the door and opened it. “See you later tonight.” Smolder forced a smile and waved goodbye to her professor as she walked out. Once she was out of the room, she let out a big sigh and leaned against the wall as she contemplated everything that happened. “What have I gotten myself into?”  she whispered to herself. Smolder stood outside the elegant purple door of Carousel Boutique and could see some light shining through the diamond-shaped window. I can’t believe I’m doing this,  she thought to herself. You can do this, Smolder. Just don’t think about yesterday, and you’ll be okay. How hard can it be? She raised a hand and knocked on the door. Probably a trainwreck with the way things are going,  she told herself. Smolder heard footsteps and the door opened to see Rarity smiling at her. She had ditched her teacher’s clothes for a long black skirt and a frilly white dress shirt.  “Welcome, Smolder,”  she happily said. “Come on in.”   Rarity stepped to the side and let the dragoness walk through the door. Smolder looked around at the shop and whistled. She’d heard about the place before but never stepped foot into Carousel Boutique. Mannequin dolls were stationed around the place either naked or having dresses on them. Rolls of fabric were cluttered in a corner near a sewing machine in the corner. A model stand was to the side with several mirrors. Smolder frowned as she had a feeling where she was going to be spending most of her time. “I guess we better get started,”  said Smolder. “Nonsense, darling, you just got here,”  said Rarity. “Come over and have some tea first.” Smolder followed Rarity over to a nearby red couch with a small table in front of it and an elegant tea set with some steam flowing from the pot. The two sat down and Rarity poured some lightish brown tea from the pot into the two small cups. Smolder took her cup and brought the cup up to her lips and sipped it. She tasted a hint of lemon and mint mixed and smiled a little. Smolder brought her cup down. “That was good, Professor Rarity.” “Please just call me Rarity,”  the unicorn insisted. “We aren’t in school now.” “Erm, right Pro–I mean, Rarity,”  said Smolder. “So what did you have in mind for me to try out?” “I figured first we pick up where we left off earlier,”  she answered. “There’s something on your mind.” Smolder rubbed the back of her head. “I already told you it’s complicated.” “Try me, darling,”  dared Rarity. Smolder looked into Rarity’s eyes with a glint of determination in them. She sighed and looked down. “I guess I’m just kind of sick of hearing about all this love stuff going on. Every creature seems to be hooking up and all the lovey-dovey stuff is kind of getting a little sickening.” “It probably doesn’t help that among your friends, you’re the only one who–” “I know,”  interrupted Smolder. “I never thought that would happen.” Rarity raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you happy for them?” Smolder nodded. “Yeah, I am, but it’s so odd seeing them like this. I remember Gallus was so apathetic towards everything, and now he’s got not one, but two ladies with him. I kind of had a feeling about him and Silverstream, but I didn’t think Ocellus would be a part of it.”  She shook her head. “Then again, I never thought Sandbar and Yona liked each other.” “Love can be quite a curious thing, darling,”  said Rarity. “It must be a lot to take in.” “Yeah. I didn’t mind it at first, but listening to their dates and what they did together just got annoying fast.”  Smolder sighed. “I’ve been pretty lousy to them lately, haven’t I?”  She brought the cup back to her lips. “You’re just frustrated, Smolder,”  said Rarity. “I mean there’s romance in the air, you feel left out….”  Rarity’s words trailed off and a small devious smile formed. “Then there’s what you saw yesterday.” Smolder’s eyes widened and she nearly spat her tea out. She placed the cup down forcefully. “What did you say?” “You saw quite a show yesterday, didn’t you?” Smolder felt alarm bells ringing in her as she could hear the growing sinister tone in the unicorn’s voice. “I….I don’t know what you mean. I just walked around for a bit before going back to my room.” “Smolder, didn’t I tell you before that I don’t need to be the Element of Honesty to know you’re lying?”  wondered Rarity, coyly. Smolder breathed heavier than she wanted to. “I’ve seen the way you stared at my desk earlier and how you were avoiding looking in the front,”  said the unicorn. “It reminded you too much of yesterday, didn’t it?” Smolder said nothing and felt heat building up in her cheeks. “It was quite a shock to you,”  Rarity went on. “You’ve never seen one of your teachers do that before. The sight of my Spikey Wikey ravishing me and holding me down like that was something that you couldn’t take your eyes off of. You loved every minute of it.” Smolder tried to keep calm, but she could feel her body shaking.” “It distracted you from what you wanted to come to me for in the first place.”  Rarity’s horn lit up and a green spiral book levitated in front of them. “This is what you wanted, right?” Smolder gasped. “My notebook!” “Indeed it is,”  said Rarity. “I knew you’d come by eventually to get it. What I didn’t expect was Spike to come by and ‘relieve’ me after a long day of teaching.”  She smirked. “It was even more unexpected to know we had a certain dragon watching.” The dragoness could feel her mind racing with fear and anxiety. “I….I….” “You don’t need to hide anything, darling,”  said Rarity. “You already told me and Spike you were there.” “W–what!?”  she asked, nervously. “Spike left the room to clean up, but he smelt something funny at the door,”  explained Rarity. “He looked down and saw the floor was a bit wet for some reason. He smelled it and realized that it was not water, but something a little more….unique.” Smolder’s heart was pounding and feeling like it was gonna pop out of her chest. “It didn’t take long for me to put two and two together to discover who it was,”  said Rarity. “After all, you needed this notebook.” The dragoness tried to think of something, but her mind was jumbled. She opened her mouth to speak, but words failed her. She glanced at Rarity staring at her and felt her body tremble. Smolder let out a frustrated groan and buried her head in her hands. “Okay! Okay! I admit it!”  she shouted. “I did see you and Vice Head-Drake Spike do it! I didn’t mean to, but...but I couldn’t stop watching! Please don’t tell anyone! I’ll be seen as a pervert in the school! I could even be expelled! Just don’t say anything please!” Smolder looked down and expected the worst from her teacher. She thought of the possibility of spending detention for the rest of the school year; if not the rest of her time in school. The stuff she’d have to do to make sure Rarity doesn’t say anything. She closed her eyes and waited anxiously for a response. “Smolder, I’m not going to do such a thing,”  said the unicorn. The dragoness felt her heart flip and slowly looked up to Rarity smiling softly. “Uh, what?”  she asked, quietly. “I said I’m not going to say anything at all to Twilight or any other creature,”  said Rarity. “I was hoping to help you.” Smolder tilted her head in confusion. “I don’t get it.” “See, Rarity, I told you she’d confess,”  a deep male voice said. Smolder froze up and her eyes widened. No way. It can’t be. She slowly turned around and her jaw dropped. In front of her was Spike, completely naked and smiling at her. The dragoness panted and muttered gibberish before falling to the side. The last thing she heard before the world went black was Rarity calling out her name. “....Spike….forward….” “....problem….with Fluttershy….” Smolder groaned quietly as she started to regain consciousness. She opened her eyes and everything was a blur. She barely made out Rarity nearby, but there was another figure in front of her wearing something blue. She rubbed her head and closed her eyes. I must be losing it,  she told herself. I thought I saw Spike standing naked. What’re the chances of that?  Smolder opened her eyes and slowly got up with a groan. “She’s regaining consciousness,”  said a male voice. Smolder looked up and nearly fainted again. Kneeling next to her was Spike, now wearing a blue bathrobe, with a concerned expression on him. “You okay, Smolder?”  he asked. Smolder felt lightheaded again. “Fainting again? I thought you were a tough dragon, Smolder,”  joked Spike. Smolder took a few deep breaths. “What’s going on?”  she demanded. “What’s this all about? Why were you naked?”  Rarity held out a hand to her and took it to help herself up. “My apologies, Smolder.”  Rarity glared at the drake. “Spikey was a little ‘forward’ with what we had planned.” The drake smiled bashfully. “We didn’t have this problem last time.” “You didn’t need to be that forward though,”  Rarity chastised. Smolder waved her hands. “Wait a minute here. Plan? Last time? What’s going on here?” “I know how you feel about my Spikey Wikey.”  Rarity put her arms around Spike and rubbed him. “I know you’ve been feeling heartbroken ever since Spike and I started dating.” Smolder huffed. “I don’t know what you mean. He’s a great guy, but nothing–” “The way you keep lying, Smolder, I may have to ask Applejack to give you remedial lessons in honesty,”  warned Rarity. “I’ve seen the way you look at Spike as you two became friends. I’m not the princess of love, but I did see you were becoming quite close to Spike. He’s certainly a charming guy.” Smolder said nothing. “Then why I started dating him, you seemed to become distant from him,”  she went on. “He told me you avoided him, and that you seemed to not talk to him much anymore. It explains quite a lot about your behavior recently.”  Rarity put a hand on Smolder’s shoulder. “That’s the reason, isn’t it?” Smolder sighed. “Sheesh. You could give Counselor Starlight a run for her bits. Fine! I admit Spike’s a pretty cool guy, for a pony loving dragon that is. He’s pretty much one of the only dragons who aren’t either stupid, brutish, or both.”  She crossed her arms. “I thought I could move on, but I guess I couldn’t let it go.” “Spike is nothing like I’ve ever seen before,”  said Rarity. “Some of the stallions I’ve met in my life could learn a thing or two from him about how to treat a lady.” Spike blushed. “Aw, it’s nothing, Rarity.”  He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. Smolder kicked her foot lazily. “Look, I’m sorry about all of this. Now that you all know, I promise I won’t get in the way again.”  She looked at Spike and smiled. “I never told you this, but you finally got the mare you’ve told me about so much. I hope we can remain friends.” Spike and Rarity looked at each other and then at Smolder with flirtatious smiles on them. The dragoness raised an eyebrow. “What?” “I was thinking of something more than friends,”  said Spike. Smolder took a step back. “I’ll say it again. What?” “I said I wanted to help you, Smolder,”  said Rarity. “Maybe finally fulfill what you want.” The dragoness looked shocked and held her hands up. “Whoa! Hold on here! You’re asking me to mate with Spike!?” “That’s one way of putting it,”  answered Rarity. Smolder shook her head. “I–I can’t do that! That’s cheating! That’s even worse than cheating!” “It’s not cheating,”  reasoned Rarity. “Spikey and I have just expanded our relationship to include a few choice friends of ours.” Smolder looked confused. “Friends?” “Yes, darling. You aren’t the first lady to be brought into our little relationship. We’ve had quite a few others in as well.” Smolder gulped. “You do?” Spike nodded. “Let’s see, there’s Coco, Fluttershy, Ember–” “Wait!”  Smolder was taken aback. “Ember!? As in Dragon Lord Ember!?” Spike nodded. “The one and only. We had a great time with her.” “Who knew she had such a submissive side to her?”  asked Rarity. Smolder’s mind was flooding with questions and had to pinch herself to make sure she was awake. The small tinge of pain in her arm confirmed she was awake and witnessing it all unfold before her very eyes. “What do you say, Smolder?”  offered Spike. “If you don’t want to, you can leave and we can remain friends. I promise neither Rarity nor I will say anything about yesterday.” Rarity nodded. “It’s your choice, Smolder.” The dragoness looked at the couple and then back at the floor. She took in everything she heard. On one hand, she’d technically be part of a relationship, but on the other, it still felt a bit dirty to be like a wedge in their relationship.” “Remember, it’s not cheating,”  reminded Rarity. Smolder grimaced as she felt like her mind was being read. Her eyes wandered down to Spike’s crotch and stared at it. Even with the bathrobe on, she could see a slight opening and his flaccid member was barely visible in the shadow. She thought back to yesterday again and could see how big it was and how it throbbed. Now, it was right in front of her and it felt like it was teasing her. She took a deep breath and stood up towards Spike. “Show me?” The drake smiled. “What do you want to do first? I think it’s only fair to let you start it off.” “Anything at all?”  she asked. “As long as it’s within reason,”  said Spike. Smolder thought for a moment before whispering something so quiet, it could give Fluttershy a run for her bits. Spike raised an eyebrow. “What did you say?” “Kiss me,”  she said a little louder. “Speak up, darling,”  urged Rarity. “Kiss me!”  she shouted. Smolder clamped her mouth and shrunk back a bit. Spike looked at her and then laughed a little. “What’s so funny!?”  demanded Smolder. “Just the way you say it is so funny,”  he explained. Smolder huffed and stomped her foot. “Alright, alright, I didn’t mean it,”  said Spike. “If you’re serious about it, then let’s–” The drake was cut off as Smolder quickly turned around and pounced him. Spike stumbled a bit as Smolder wrapped her arms around Spike and forced her tongue into his mouth. Spike wrapped his arms around her and opened his mouth to let her in easily. Smolder moaned as she took in the sweet fiery taste of Spike and melted into his arms. Rarity smiled and watched with anticipation. Smolder broke the kiss and smirked. “Still think it’s funny?” Spike took a few deep breaths. “You know, for some dragon who’s never had a mate, you’re a natural kisser.” “Indeed you are, Smolder,”  said Rarity. “You need to be careful though. You don’t want to tire Spike out before you get into it.”  She walked up behind the dragoness and wrapped her hands on each of her breasts. “Why don’t we show you how it’s done, darling?” Smolder felt a shiver run down her body as the unicorn grasped her bosom, and nodded quietly. Spike put a few fingers under her chin and brought her lips up to his for another kiss, albeit a lot softer this time. The taste she took in before was somehow even better than the kiss she gave him earlier. She made no effort to force her tongue, but felt Spike’s tongue against her mouth and opened it. Rarity moved her hands slowly down Smolder’s red shirt and grabbed the edges of it. Spike, seeing what Rarity was doing, broke the kiss and moved away. Rarity moved Smolder’s shirt up and tugged a little against her rather sizable bosom. Rarity readjusted her grip to grab the bra underneath and the shirt managed to pull up. Smolder’s breasts juggled freely as they were released from the fabric. Spike smiled and put a hand on one of Smolder’s boobs and brought her back in for another kiss. Smolder shuddered as she felt Spike’s tongue enter her mouth and the drake rub his hand against her breast; even pinching the nipple slightly. Smolder felt her jeans being pulled down and a hand rubbing against her cooch She opened her eyes to see Rarity, having stripped down naked from what she could see, rubbing against her and giving the dragoness a sultry glance. Smolder let out a low groan and felt like putty in the hands of both her teacher and the drake she admired. She felt her pants being completely pulled down and stepped out of the leggings.  Spike broke the kiss and both he and Rarity stepped back to look at the now naked dragoness. Smolder made no effort to cover herself but blushed profusely as the two stared at her. Spike’s eyes wandered up and down from her sizable bosom to her rather curvy hips. Smolder saw the seductive smile on his face and felt more heat build in her face. “My goodness, Smolder,”  said Rarity. “You’ve grown into a fine dragoness. It’s a wonder no other guy or lady didn’t see how beautiful you are.” “Um….thanks, Rarity,”  she said, bashfully. The unicorn glanced at Spike. “I think she’s ready.” He nodded and undid the knot on his robe. He pulled it off and let it fall to the floor. Smolder’s eyes immediately stared at Spike’s crotch. She finally got a good look at the already half-erect member in front of her. It was just as she had visioned it in her fantasies and what she saw in the classroom. The ridges on the reddish phallus and the pointed tip made her lick her lips in anticipation. The smell of musk coming from him made her loins quiver. She slowly walked up to Spike and got on her knees. She was staring at his rod up close and personal. The smell was even stronger now, but she took it in with a deep breath and let out a pleasurable shudder. She reached out with her hand and was about to grasp it, but suddenly stopped. Smolder looked up at a bemused Spike with a pleading expression. A nod from him was all the dragoness needed and she looked back down at it. “Just be careful, darling,”  warned Rarity. “You don’t want to tire him out too quickly now.” Smolder nodded and glanced at Spike’s member. She put her hand on it and began to slowly rub it. Slowly, the phallus started to get harder, and could feel it pulsating in her hand. She brought her mouth closer and stuck her tongue out. She licked the tip of his rod and tasted a little pre-cum from it. The salty and fiery taste she felt on her tongue made her shiver slightly. Smolder opened her mouth to take in Spike’s throbbing rod.  She slowly pushed herself forward to take in more and wrapped her tongue around it. The smell of musk coming from Spike nearly overwhelmed her with pleasure. She stopped around halfway and began to move her head slowly back and then slowly forth. Spike held back a moan and rubbed Smolder’s head as she bobbed it. Rarity walked up to Spike and the drake brought her chest close to his mouth. He opened it and placed his lips around one of her breast’s nipples. The unicorn gasped in pleasure as his tongue moved around her areola and eventually her nipple itself. His tongue lapped over it and took in some of the sweet liquid that squirted from it. He closed his teeth around it and bit it ever so slightly. Spike then moved onto the other one, earning another moan from Rarity. Smolder moved her head faster and took in more of Spike’s phallus. She tried to take in more of it into her mouth. Her tongue lapped over its ridges and she used her upper row of teeth to slowly glide over his rod gently. Smolder’s head bobbed back and forth as she managed to take in the whole phallus. She moved her head back, but kept it around his tip and leaving saliva dripping down, and then pushed herself back in. Rarity gasped and tapped Spike on the head a few times. “Hold on, everyone,”  she said between breaths. Spike backed away from the unicorn’s bosom and Smolder forced herself to stop and pull her mouth out of Spike’s rod. The two dragons looked at her with disappointment. Smolder did her best not to glare at Rarity and cursed herself for not being able to satisfy Spike. Rarity looked at Smolder and smiled. “You’re ready, darling.” The dragoness tilted her head. “Ready for what exactly?” Rarity brushed her hand against Spike’s member. “You’re ready for it.” Smolder stared for a moment before the realization hit her. “Whoa! I...I don’t know.” “Don’t worry, darling,”  assured Rarity. “It’s natural to feel nervous for your first time.” Smolder took a deep breath. “Okay, I think I’m ready. What do I do now?” Before Smolder knew it, she was back down on the ground and had her legs spread. Above her, Spike was on his knees looking down at her. The drake gave her a warm smile and could feel her heart pounding. Her eyes drifted towards his phallus and could feel her already wet delicate flower tingling. Another shadow fell over her and saw Rarity looking down with a smile. “Just relax, Smolder,”  she said. “You’re going to experience how Spike pleases me and our friends. I know you’ll love it.” “You ready, Smolder?”  asked Spike. The dragoness blushed and nodded. “Please….I need it,”  she whispered. Spike took a hold of his member and held it steady as he lowered himself towards Smolder’s cooch. The two genitals touched and seemingly kissed each other. Smolder whimpered but kept her legs spread out. Both dragons locked eyes with each other and gave one another a nod. Spike slowly inserted himself in, earning a pleasurable yelp from Smolder. The dragoness shook as she felt his rod penetrate her. The thickness of his member slid in and could feel the ridges on it rubbing against her moist walls. Smolder panted and clenched her hands tightly as she felt it go in deeper. The feeling eventually became too much for her and she let out a loud moan. She could already feel her loins burning and her climax approaching fast and did her best to suppress it. The base of Spike’s rod hit her wetness and they both laid motionless. Smolder’s mind was racing with a flurry of emotions from joy to pleasure. I….I can’t even imagine it,  she thought to herself. How can Rarity, or even Lord Ember, walk normally? I already feel like I’m gonna be crooked from this alone. “You okay, Smolder?”  asked Spike. The dragoness nodded. “Keep….keep going,”  she said, quietly. Spike pulled out a little and then thrust back in. The tightness he felt around Smolder’s walls gave him a rush of pleasure against his member. The ridges rubbed gently in her delicate flower and made Smolder gasp in ecstasy. Spike slowly grinded his hips against Smolder, allowing his rod to penetrate deeper into her. The sound of his member schlicking in and out and Smolder’s growing moans echoed through the room. Smolder panted and moaned as the thrusting started to get faster. The feeling of Spike’s phallus inside her moving in and out of her made her melt like butter. Her entire body was in bliss as she was being pounded and could feel his thrusting getting harder. She felt Spike’s member going deeper into her and getting to places she had a hard time getting to whenever she masturbated. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth as she let Spike grind against her. Smolder felt something wet drip on her face and looked up. Rarity stood over her and had a smirk on her face. Her eyes fell upon her cooch, which was dripping wet with excitement. “That’s quite the tongue you have, Smolder,”  said the unicorn. “Why don’t you put it to some good use?” Smolder wanted to ask what she meant, only to be quickly answered with Rarity kneeling own and smothering her face with her delicate flower. The smell was intoxicating for the dragoness. Her muzzle was prodding against her wetness and knew what she had to do. Smolder opened her mouth and lapped the outside of Rarity’s folds. The unicorn shuddered in pleasure from the tongue lapping outside her. Smolder was in absolute bliss from what she was feeling. Spike was pounding quickly now into the dragoness and could feel it pushing deeper into her. The tightness he felt before had loosened up slightly, but he could still feel her inner walls pressing against his member. Smolder could feel herself getting lost, but made no resistance. All her thoughts were scrambled as the pleasure coursed through her. The dragoness licked at Rarity’s delicate flower and decided to put her tongue fully inside her. The unicorn gasped as the tongue licked and swirled around her walls. Smolder took in her juices and noticed it a mixture of berry and what seemed to be….marshmallow? She dug herself deeper into the unicorn, trying to push her tongue as far as it could into her. “Ah! Ah!”  Rarity cried out. The unicorn leaned towards Spike and pulled him in for a kiss. The drake returned the kiss ack and brought one hand up to her head to pull her closer. The room started to fill with the scent of musk and juices from each lady. The moaning echoed throughout the room as all three were being pleased. Spike was gyrating and slamming himself into Smolder. Smolder felt his phallus thrusting in and out of her and made her muffle moans. Rarity had broken off the kiss and could feel Smolder’s tongue inside of her. Smolder felt her climax rapidly approaching and her body began to shake. She let out a few muffled, but loud moans as she felt it about to happen. I….I can’t hold it! I need to….need to…. “Spike, hold on a moment,”  said Rarity. Smolder broke out of her train of thought as she felt Rarity get off her face and Spike slowly pulled out. The dragoness felt her pleasure be replaced with anger as her climax ebbed away and could feel her loins aching in pain. “What did we stop for!?”  demanded Smolder. “I was so close!” “So sorry, Smolder, but there are two good reasons why we needed to stop,”  said Rarity. “First, I doubt you’d want Spike to impregnate you.” “Hey, I wasn’t close yet,”  said Spike. “You were getting there,”  warned the unicorn. “I could see it in your face.” Smolder blushed a little in embarrassment. “Erm, thanks for that, Rarity,”  she said, quietly. “What’s the other reason though?” Rarity smirked and her horn lit up. A rather small purple chest levitated towards her and opened up. “There’s still the matter of your punishment.” Smolder’s eyes widened. “Punishment!?” Spike looked in the chest and let out a whistle. “Oh, I see what you mean, Rarity.” “Spikey, be a dear and have Smolder lay on that table.”  Rarity pointed to a large wooden table nearby. The drake nodded and grabbed Smolder’s hand. “Come on now.” Smolder was dragged against her will and frowned. “Wait, what am I being punished for? Is it because of what I said?” “No, darling,”  answered Rarity. “There’s still the matter of peeking at us yesterday.” Smolder gulped a little. “I already said I was sorry though! What more do you want!?” “To give you exactly what you deserve. Now then,”  Rarity walked to a nearby doorway, “just wait here and I’ll be right back.”  The unicorn walked into the other room and hummed to herself. Smolder gave a pleading look to Spike. “Hey, can’t you talk her out of whatever she’s going to do to me? I already said I was sorry! I’ll do anything else! I’ll do extra homework for the rest of the year! I’ll even apologize for that glitter joke in Headmare Twilight’s class!” Spike raised an eyebrow. “What was that last thing?” “Nothing!”  she quickly answered. Spike stared at the dragoness but said nothing. “Okay, darlings, I’m ready,”  announced Rarity in a singing voice. “Spike, please put Smolder on the table.” “You got it,”  he said. Smolder was grabbed by the waist and without him even struggling, Spike lifted her and placed her down on her back. Spike moved over and placed both his hands on her arms. The dragoness was shaking in worry and anticipation about what was going to happen. The sound of footsteps approaching caught her attention and she raised her head. Smolder flinched at the sight before her and her jaw nearly dropped. Rarity’s waist had a black harness around her thighs and crotch area. Sticking out in between where her cooch would normally be was a large red phallus that looked erect. Smolder stared at it and gasped. “Wait, that strapon, it looks almost like….like….” “Spike’s!”  finished Rarity. “I decided to make a good cast mold out of it so it can be admired even more. I’ve even convinced Spike to help me make a couple more and sell them to some other mares who were interested.” “Rarity wants to give them a name for this kind of business, but we haven’t decided on a name yet,”  said Spike. Rarity walked up and grabbed Smolder’s legs. She spread them and smiled at how soaked her flower was. “I’m surprised you’ve held it this long, Smolder. Hmmm….perhaps as your punishment for spying on me and Spikey, we should leave you like this.” Smolder gasped. “No, please! I….I can’t take it anymore! I need it!” Rarity rubbed her chin. “I don’t know. Do you promise to never spy on us like that again?” “Yes!”  Smolder shouted. “Do you think you feel like you’re worthy to be part of our relationship?” “Yes! I’ll do anything!” “Say you want it then,”  ordered Spike. He brought his member up to her face and slapped her lightly with it. “Say it.” Smolder gulped and took a few deep breaths. “Come on, Smolder,”  Spike shook his phallus in front of her. “I know you want it.” Smolder closed her eyes. “Please, Spike,”  she whispered. The drake smirked. “Who?” “Please, Vice Head Drake Spike,”  she begged. “I want….no, I need it. You and Professor Rarity can do whatever you want to me!” Spike looked at Rarity and nodded at him. Spike took a hold of his rod and poked at Smolder’s mouth. The dragoness lowered her head and opened her mouth. His member came closer to her and she couldn’t help but feel excited. The tip entered her mouth and despite feeling a bit uncomfortable, Smolder managed to take it in as more of Spike’s phallus pushed into her mouth. Around the same time, Smolder felt Rarity push her strapon into her and shivered a little. Although it wasn’t soft like Spike’s, she could still feel the ridges and how thick it felt almost similar to the drake. Smolder felt stuffed at both ends but didn’t feel any discomfort. A new wave of pleasure had overtaken her. Is this what Professor Rarity was feeling yesterday when Spike did this? I can see why she loves it. Spike pulled back, and then forcefully slammed his rod into Smolder’s mouth. The dragoness’ eyes widened in surprise but made no signs of objecting. Spike pulled back again, a little faster, and slammed back in again. Spike thrust hard into Smolder’s mouth and his speed started to increase. Smolder felt the smacking of his sack against her and his rod pumping in and out of her. The sensation left Smolder feeling like her mind was going and her body going wild. Rarity started to do the same thing her drakefriend did by pulling out and thrusting back into Smolder’s cooch. She gyrated her hips against the dragoness’ and started to pump her strapon into her rapidly. The other end of the fake phallus had a somewhat smaller one inside the harness and was inside Rarity’s delicate flower. As Rarity pounded at Smolder, the smaller rod inside her slid around inside her and made her moan loudly. Smolder felt her body shake as she was being thrashed on both sides. The sensation she was feeling was impossible for her to think. She could hardly even think as Spike and Rarity thrusted inside her. The three moaned, in Smolder’s case her moans were muffled, as the sound and smell of musk and juices filled the room again. The table rocked around a little and creaked from the pressure it was feeling. Spike placed his hands on Smolder’s breasts and started to massage and knead them. He roughly rubbed them around and placed his fingers on each of her nipples to pinch them. Smolder let out a louder moan, even though it was mostly muffled. Spike felt a hand on his face and looked to see Rarity. She pulled him in for a kiss and both opened their mouths to let their tongues in each of theirs. All the while, Smolder was feeling both their bodies being pressed against her in some way. The thrusting got rapid and Smolder’s muffled moans only got louder. Rarity broke off the kiss and panted, “Hah! Hah! Hah!” Spike grunted as he slid his rod in and out of Smolder. Smolder could feel her climax coming a lot faster than this time. She tried to hold it, but couldn’t contain herself for very long. She tried to signal Spike or Rarity, but they either didn’t notice or didn’t care. Smolder let out a muffled gasp as her climax came. Her eyes shot wide open as she felt her delicate flower ejaculate her juices. Her body shook violently as she shot more out and her climax slowly ebbed away. She let out a few muffled moans as her body slowly started to stop shaking. Before she knew it though, she felt Spike’s seed explode into her mouth and was caught off guard. She took in as much as she could and tasted what seemed to be fiery peppers with a hint of gems to them. She gulped down all she could handle, but eventually, the load started to get too much for her. She slapped Spike on the side and the drake immediately pulled out of her. Smolder coughed violently as she rolled over to her side. Spike kneeled beside her and smiled. “Deep breaths, Smolder,”  he urged. “I forgot this was your first time doing something like this.” The dragoness gasped and coughed a little more. She took in a couple of deep breaths before she felt comfortable enough to move again. Rarity helped Smolder up and stand up. Smolder quickly had to grab the table as she felt her legs were like jelly and could barely support herself. Rarity’s horn lit up and her hidden “drama couch” came from around the corner and behind the group. Smolder sat down and let out a grunt as she sat on the soft sofa. Rarity and Spike sat next to her and gently stroked her body with their hands. “How are you feeling, darling?”  asked Rarity. Smolder finally managed to find the strength to say, “Spike….” “What is it?”  he wondered. “If you….if you ever tell anyone about how I begged to you like that….I’ll never forgive you,”  she said between gasps. Spike chuckled. “She’s fine.” “She seems to be in good spirits,”  said Rarity. “However, I think she’ll need a little time to recover from this. It has been quite the experience for you, Smolder.” The dragoness wearily nodded. “So, what happens now? I guess I’m a part of this relationship now, so how does it work?” “That depends, Smolder,”  said Rarity. “Do you feel like you can handle this? Spikey and I do some more….unique stuff. What you got was simply like an appetizer for what we normally do when we invite one of our close ‘friends’ for a session. If you do accept, we can set up arrangements and what’s going to happen next.” Smolder said nothing. “It’s up to you, Smolder,”  said Spike. “We just thought we’d give you a hand. If you don’t want to be a part of this, then maybe this will give you some confidence for whoever you ask out next.” Smolder raised an eyebrow. “Ask out somebody else? Heh. Why would I do that when I have you, Spike?” “You sure?”  he inquired. Smolder smirked. “Hey, I’ve told you before I’m one tough dragon. I can handle it.”  She got up to flex her arm, but her legs gave way and she collapsed onto the couch again. “Not a word,”  she groaned. Spike and Rarity laughed as the dragoness laid there. Spike sat next to Smolder and embraced her. “If it makes you feel better, for your first time you were great. I know we’re kind of rough on you, but you handled it well.” Smolder blushed and rubbed the back of her head. “Thanks, Spike. I didn’t really mind the roughness. It’s something dragons are used to when they mate.” Rarity smirked. “Yes, I think Ember mentioned that after our little pet play we did. I guess we’ll have to up our game, Spikey.” Smolder tried to shift closer to Spike but winced in pain. “Maybe not for a while. Maybe just hang out and talk?” Spike nodded. “Sure, I’d like that.” Smolder leaned in and kissed Spike on the cheek. Smolder hummed to herself as she walked around the school’s courtyard. Various creatures passed by her and were chatting with themselves or laughing. The warm sunny sky seemed to reflect the mood she was feeling right now of content and relaxation. “Smolder! Smolder!”  a jubilant female voice called out. The dragoness looked over to see her friends waving at her and urging her to come over. She ran over to them and sat down next to Sandbar. “What’s up, guys?” “We just wanted to check with you, that's all,”  answered Sandbar. “We wanted to make sure you were doing okay.” Smolder shrugged. “I’m doing fine. What’s the deal?” Silverstream frowned. “We wanted to say we’re sorry for making you feel left out. I know it hasn’t been easy with the rest of us being in relationships while you–” Gallus nudged Silverstream. “Ahem!”  he coughed. The hippogriff nodded and said, “Um, I mean we’re still great friends. We can hang out with each other without it getting all romantic like you said you were sick of.” “Subtle,”  said Gallus, sarcastically. Smolder shrugged and smiled. “It’s cool, guys.” The group looked at her and then at each other with bewilderment on their faces. “Are….are you okay?”  wondered Gallus. “Yup,”  Smolder happily said. "No yelling? No snarky response?" wondered Sandbar. "Nope," answered Smolder. “Yona is confused,”  said the yak. “Is this a friendship lesson?” “I have to agree,”  said Ocellus. “Smolder, what happened? A few days ago you were upset and now you look like you’ve just won the Gauntlet of Fire to become Dragon Lord.” “Well, let’s just say I’ve got something good going on right now,”  answered Smolder. “Well, what is it?”  asked Sandbar. “Ha! I’m not telling you guys yet,”  said Smolder. “All I can say is that romance isn’t exactly a problem anymore for me.” Ocellus tilted her head in confusion. “Are you dating some creature?” Smolder shrugged. “Maybe. I’m not saying anything though.” “If it is true, can we at least get an idea about who it is?”  wondered Silverstream. Smolder leaned back and out of the corner of her eye she saw Spike and Rarity walking nearby. They gave her a wink as they passed by the group and headed for the school. “Maybe one day,”  she commented. “So want to hang out Friday night?”  Sandbar offered. “We’re all thinking of seeing that new movie downtown and could do it as a group of friends.” “No mention of romance at all,”  Silverstream chirped in. Smolder shook her head. “Nah. I already got plans for that night. In fact, I’m gonna be busy for quite a while.” The group looked at each other again in confusion. “What do you mean?”  wondered Ocellus. Smolder smirked. “Let’s just say my life has gotten a lot more interesting now.” The dragoness got up and walked off to the dormitories, leaving her confused friends behind and their minds buzzing with questions.
