(The Next Morning)

Spike walked into Twilight's room and found her asleep with a tiny bit of drool leaking out of her mouth and onto a book. He gently removed the book and placed it on one of the many shelves. Glancing back at the sleeping mare Spike gave a menacing chuckle. Leaning so that he could whisper into her ear, "Twilight . . . I don't know how to say this but . . . I burned down the library."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" she jumped out of the bed hitting Spike in the shoulder sending both of them scrambling to the floor. After a few seconds of rolling they stopped with an angry Twilight glaring down at Spike. "What did you do to the library?"

"You really are cuter when you're angry." She instantly went blank for a minute before her face went from it's normal color to a very dark purple. "HAAHAHHAHAHAHA. Oh man if you could only see the look on your face. It's priceless Twilight, plus you were drooling on a book in your sleep so I took it upon myself to give you a minor punishment." She growled a bit before getting up and going downstairs. He chased after her and let out another burst of laughter.

"what is so funny now Spike? Nightmare Moon could be here at any moment and you go and do something like this. This is not the time for childish pranks." Spike released a sigh and stared at the mare in front of him.

"I talked to her last night Twilight. She knew about Nightmare Moon and has put a plan into action." He could still see the tension in her body and couldn't stand it. He ran a claw through her mane, "She told me that if anything bad does happen then I can take you to the final resting place of the elements of harmony. That way if she can't save her sister we can do something about it. She has faith in you Twilight, almost as much as I do. So please stop worrying about this and focus on what Celestia wants us to do."

"Thank you Spike, I think I needed that. But what is it that she wants us to do?"

"Oh right, forgot to tell you that first." Spike smacked his forehead and pulled out a scroll from seemingly nowhere. "Celestia wants us to go to Ponyville and make sure that the festival is coming along smoothly. She has a carriage ready to take us there and she also expressed that she wanted and I quote "Please make sure that you make some friends. You and Twilight are my most prized students but you need to learn to rely on your hearts more. You would be amazed at the power of friendship."

"You can't be serious." She said with an almost desperate tone.

"I swear on my dragon code that it is the truth. Now then my adorable mare, pack your bags cause we are hitting the road . . . clouds . . . sky. Yeah we're hitting the sky." He continued to mumble off causing Twilight to shake her head at his antics.

"Alright just let me eat first and we can be on our way." In an instant Spike disappeared and reappeared wearing an apron and a confidant smirk.

"What does your stomach desire my fair maiden." All she could do was shake her head feeling that it would be a very long day.

(Timeskip brought by the fact that I am kinda lazy and livin la vida loca.)

"OK so first off we have to meet with a mare named Fluttershy who's in charge of music for the festival. I wonder if she's cute. What about you Twilight, cute or beautiful, which will she be?" Twilight slammed her head against her book.

"First off don't you think it's a bit shallow to ask something like that about someone you haven't met. Secondly, why would you ask me? And finally, I don't care nor do I think it matters as long as she is able to have the music ready for the festival." She glanced down at her book and continued to read.

"Are you afraid that she'll steal my heart from you Twilight. Don't worry no matter how cute she is my heart will only beat for you. After all, no one is as cute as you are when you get angry." Spike continued to mess with Twilight until she snapped and used her magic to fling the book into Spike's head. He instantly dropped to the ground clutching his skull. "Fine I give up but you could show me some mercy. DO you know how boring it is for me with you reading that book and not saying anything? It's not like I can go outside and talk to our kind entourage."

"Why not, you have your wings don't you?"

"Maybe, but I enjoy talking to you. Plus it might be bad for you if I distract them with my never-ending and amazing humor." He said with an open-toothed smile showing off his fangs. Twilight sighed and put down her book.

"What else do we have to check on?" She asked barely above a whisper but by now Twilight knew his ears could pick it up. He sat back in his seat and looked further down the scroll.

"There's a single Pegasus in charge of keeping the sky clear of any clouds. It says her name is Rainbow Dash. She must be pretty good if she has to keep it clear on her own. Wonder if she'd like to race me, oh well on with the list. Then it looks like a mare named Rarity is in charge of a team of ponies who are setting up the decorations. Hahhahahaha." Spike burst out laughing and clutched his sides.

"What did you find Spike?" Twilight picked up the scroll and read until she saw that all of the food was being prepared by the Apple family. "Are you really laughing that there's a family with the last name Apple making the food?"

Spike calmed himself down enough to shake his head. "A few years ago there was a problem with some Timber Wolves that entered their orchards. Celestia asked me to go and deal with them since they are made of wood and I can breathe fire. I took care of them in a couple of days and spent the rest of the week helping them get their farm up and running. The reason that I laughed so hard is because I can imagine Applejack running back and forth trying her best to make sure all of the food is absolutely perfect. I'm glad that I can see them all again. They really are a good bunch." Spike just smiled to himself and leaned back. For the first time in a while he actually allowed himself to relax.

"It seems that this Applejack is a very important mare. Should I be jealous?" She asked sarcastically though she really was curious. Spike only got that look when he talked about her or Celestia. To see him with that look while thinking of another mare caused an ache in her heart for some reason.

"It's nothing like that at all Twilight. It's just that her and her family didn't judge me for a second. They weren't scared of me they didn't glare at me. They were just . . . kind. Something that I haven't felt from anyone but Shining Armor, Celestia, and you. So . . . I'm really happy to see them all again." Twilight smiled at her friend happy that he knew somepony that didn't judge him. It was obvious that Spike was always being stared at in Canterlot, which was a large portion of why she didn't bother to make friends with them. She was sure Spike thought it was because she was anti-social but it was because they treated Spike like he was different. He was the best friend anypony could ask for and they looked at him as if he might attack him at the drop of a hat. Anypony that would treat her best friend like that would never be worth her time.

"Well in that case maybe it won't be so hard to make a new friend or two." Spike opened his eyes and stared into her brilliant violet orbs.

"I think that you would get along just fine. That is if you don't mind the accent. So is that all that we have to check on?" Twilight took another look at the scroll.

"It says that the party after the festival is being planned by Pinkie Pie." Spike's face instantly went blank.

"Who?"

"Pinkie Pie."

. . .

. . .

. . .

"Twilight I would love to go with you to Ponyville I really would but it just occurred to me that I left my rubies on fire back in the kitchen in Canterlot so I should go back and check on them." Spike jumped out the door and hit dirt. Looking up he saw the small town that he needed to get away from now. "Alright she hasn't noticed I'm here yet and if I'm lucky then her senses haven't picked me up yet." He stood and spread his wings only to be tackled by a pink blur.

"OH my gosh. OH my gosh. OH my gosh. I can't believe you're here Spike this time I'll be sure to throw you the biggest and bestest welcome to Ponyville party EVER!" Spike did the best he could to cover his ears. but Pinkie had him in a very tight embrace.

"Twilight for the love of Celestia help me." Spike groaned out to his supposed friend who was beside the carriage giggling at her friends misfortune.

"I take it that you are Pinkie Pie?"

"Yepsy doosie daisy. And you must be Spike's friend Twilight Sparkle. I wanted to throw him a welcome to Ponyville party a couple years ago but he said that he couldn't stand to be away from you any longer than necessary. You two must be super duper best besties." Spike just hung his head as the blush spread from his cheeks to his neck to the top of his chest.

"You could say it's something like that but Spike and I are here on business from Canterlot and we would like to see how the party planning for after the festival is coming along." If it was even possible the pink mare got even more excited.

"Well I had everything set up and ready to go but now I need to go and plan for an even bigger and better party. So I gotta go and show you that I'm the best super duper party pony around." Before either one of them could blink Pinkie was gone in a flash leaving behind only a trail of dust.

"Well . . . Spike did you understand what she said?" He groaned and nodded his head.

"Come on let's find the others so we can get this little job done." He started heading down a path that seemed to cut right through the middle of town, all the while mumbling about crazy energy-filled ponies. Twilight trotted up to him giggling to herself.

"So you can't stand to be away from me huh?" Spike kept staring at the dirt allowing his other senses to guide him.

"Don't look into it to much Twi. I just wanted to make sure that you were still there, it was nothing more than that. So can you just forget about that so we can get this over and done with? If at all possible I'd like to spend some time with Applejack and her family."

"Relax Spike, I was just kidding. I think I'm entitled to do that with all the comments you've made about when I'm angry." He sighed and shook his head.

"You really are lucky that I'm the greatest dragon ever. Normally a dragon would instantly retaliate but since you're such a lovely mare I'll let it slide." She instantly lit up like a Hearts Warming tree. (I think that's their version of Christmas if I'm wrong please tell me so I can fix it) "Besides at least everything I say about you is the truth . . . You really are the most beautiful mare that I know."

"Spike I am no where near as beautiful as Celestia."

"I said mare Twilight not goddess. In that category you are ranked 2nd." Twilight stopped instantly and felt her face turn scarlet as her jaw dropped. "Come on Twilight we don't have all day."

A/N Next chapter will be a bit longer because Spike and Twilight will be meeting everyone else as well as getting a full taste of the powers of the super duper part pony. I don't know what I'll be doing about all the pairings yet but I do intend to give Spike a small harem. With that said I won't be writing any smut/clop the M rating is to be safe with the cussing and violence. As for Spike's full description: he is around 5'6", he has red scales and yellow spines, same green eyes cause those are badass/adorable, and he has his wings. He is also around the same age as Twilight. I don't know if they were ever given official ages and the Equestria Girls movies just make it harder to narrow down.
