Chapter 3: Fresh Blood.

Inside the Crystal Empire castle, Cadence sat in her throne with Armor's next to hers. She was sitting peacefully, waiting for her husband to return with their guests.

Soon, the pink princess noticed a bright light form in the center of the room, and she sat up as the whole room (and her vision) flashed a blinding white. The bright light went as suddenly as it came and there stood Shining Armor, Rarity, and the dragon Spike, who was holding so many suitcases he had to swerve to avoid the tall stack from toppling.

Cadence got up and hugged Armor. She then said in her loving tone, "I'm so glad you got here safe and sound." She then let go of Armor who almost collapsed on himself, panting, probably because of the distance and mass he had to travel. She then frowned (not angrily) at Spike, who was currently a mess of flying feet across the floor, and you can probably guess he's doing tap-dancing or something.

Spike gained control of himself for a moment before saying, "Hey, Cadence. Where can I put these? … … augh!" He looked as if his body gave way, and so Cadence opened her mouth and said, "Sp-"

"Spike! Don't be rude!" Rarity scolded Spike. Cadence shut her mouth, and then sighed. Rarity then turned to her and asked, "May we please see our rooms, so that I may get my clothes ready?"

Cadence looked at a guard posted by the door and nodded. The guard walked over to Spike and Rarity, and suddenly the guard asked, "Lord Spike, would you like me to help you with the bags?" Spike stopped for a second, it had been a while… since then.

"Yes, thank you…" Spike quickly answered, and he put the pile down to unload some bags onto the quickly interjected.

"Now Spike, show some respect. He's not your personal servant." Spike sighed in defeat, he knew he couldn't disobey Rarity…

Cadence and Armor watched as Spike denied the guard's request, picked up the stack of suitcases and left. The couple looked at each other. Then Armor spoke up. "Twilight was right, she is totally using him." Armor said in an upset tone.

"Yes, she doesn't really care" Cadence said as she looked at the door the small group had recently departed from.

After almost five minutes of walking, the guard stopped by a large door and proceeded to open it, revealing a large bedroom.

The sight of the bedroom was amazing… gems studded in the walls, a large flat screen television hung on a wall, and opposite that was a king-sized bed with what looked like plush pillows.

"Oh, my! What a beautiful room… just… wow!" Rarity looked around the room in awe. She then heard a sudden crash! and looked to see Spike had collapsed in the doorway with all the suitcases strewn about around him.

"Yeah, yeah, great room." Spike then groaned as the guards helped him to his feet. Rarity heard him mutter something unintelligible.

"But I think you'll love your room even more," Rarity said as she continued to survey the room. Spike was now confused as to why he had a separate room. "I thought I was sleeping with you..?"

Rarity huffed and said, "Oh, Spike. Rooms like these are for the fashion designers. Models get smaller rooms." Rarity smirked, then continued to look around, not paying Spike any attention as the guard escorted him out of the room, closing the door behind him.

As soon as Spike left, Rarity lay down on the large, soft bed and let out a sigh. "This is my greatest idea ever. Spike will help me become a household name," Rarity said as she closed her eyes to rest, unaware of the green eye peering through the keyhole at her.

After leaving Rarity, the guard offered once again to help Spike carry some the suitcases, to which Spike said no, again, quoting what Rarity had said when they arrived at the castle.

The guard uneasily accepted Spike's answer and continued to lead the young dragon down the hall until they had reached a much small looking door. But as the guard opened the door, he turned to Spike and frowned as he spoke.

"I am sorry Lord Spike." the guard said as he turned and allowed the door to reveal the room as he continued, "This is your room."

As the door opened, Spike was in shock at the room before him and dropped the suitcases as he walked into the room.

Personal marble statues of Spike were modeled holding the ceiling up. A small waterfall was in the center that was feeding into a medium sized hot tub, a television that reached from the floor to the ceiling was at the far wall with a humongous bed across from it. Spike was in pure shock as he looked around the room and then turned back to the guard.

"This is my room?" He asked.

"Yes. Princess Cadence ordered it to be made for your visits," The guard replied. The guard then bowed to the young dragon and then carried in the suitcases Spike dropped. As Spike looked around in awe, a door opened at the far end of the room, and out walked three beautiful mares, all dressed in maid outfits.

The guard said to Spike, These are your personal maids whose sole purpose is to make your visit pleasant." He smirked.

The head maid stepped forward, and bowed, she was a unicorn with a blue mane, yellow coat, green eyes, and an… uhh… impressive bust. She then said, "We are here to seve you, Master Spike."

The other two maids then bowed down too alongside the head maid. The other two were both of Pegasi kind, with one having a long, red mane, a blue coat and red eyes. The other one had a short, white mane, a light red coat and yellow eyes. They also had impressive busts.

Spike shook his head and smiled. "Master? No, just call me Spike."

The head maid shook her head and said, "We are sorry, but we have orders to call you our Master, even if you don't want us to."

"Well, what should I do then…" Spike said with an uneasy tone as he looked at the three maids in front of him.

"Anything you want, Master Spike." The head maid said as she smiled a warm one.

"Hmm… Maybe I should- Augh!" Spike was cut short by a sudden, sharp pain that soared through his back, and he winced as he almost fell onto the floor, catching himself.

"Master Spike, are you alright?" The head maid asked as she and the other two ran to Spike and helped him stand up right.

"Yeah, just sore after carrying all those bags," Spike said with a smile on his face, but it vanished when he suddenly winced again as another sharp pain shot through his lower back.

"Maybe you should soak in your hot tub to relax your muscles." The head maid offered as she looked at him with concern.

"Yeah, sounds great- Ugh!" Spike experienced another back pain as he tried to walk to the bathroom door, and so with the help of one of the Pegasi maids he was walked to the bathroom while the other went to go get his swim trunks.

In the background, the unicorn maid was angry.

"How dare she treat Master Spike like that, he deserved better!" The head maid mumbled to herself.

"Lain?" Called the Pegasus with the white mane, and the head maid - now known as Lain - snapped out of it as she turned to her.

"Yes, Lessy?" Lain quizzed.

"Maybe you could go get Master Spike a drink?"

"Great idea," Lain snapped a finger. "Tell Tisha I'll be right back."

Lain then started off, but stopped after she closed the door.

"But first, I need to change something."

And with that, she wandered off.

Back at Rarity's room, the young unicorn was enjoying herself as she was now dressed in a white robe tied tightly around her waist, laying on the bed with her favorite soap opera on the television, and a box of bonbons in front of her.

"Oh, this is the life." she said with a smile on her face as she watched the ponies act out a powerful storyline on the wall-mounted screen. She especially enjoyed the stories where some teen tries (futilely) to win the heart of some mare that just doesn't care for him.

As she watched her show, the phone to the room suddenly rang and she muted the volume as she got out of the bed with a groan and walked over to the phone, and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this that young Rarity?" The voice asked from the other line.

"Yes, this is me." Rarity answered as she was flattered as the word, 'young' was used to describe her.

"This is the director of the fashion show and would like to ask for you to appear at the formal dinner tonight for the designers." The voice said, and Rarity got very excited.

"Oh, of course I'll make it, and I'll bring my top model!" Rarity said with a big smile on her face.

"Great, the event is at seven. See you then." The voice said as it hung up along with Rarity.

"Oh, I need to get dressed and then go tell Spike." Rarity said as she untied her robe and removed it, reveal her light blue bra barely covering her assets along with her matching panties. As she walked over to the vanity, she began to talk to herself.

"Maybe I should help Spike pick out an outfit so he doesn't embarrass me." And with that, she looked over her outfits to pick one out for the formal dinner.

After getting changed, Spike was relaxing in his hot tub and he let out a long sigh as he felt the hot water soothing his tired, sore back. As he was relaxing, Lain walked in carrying a tray with a tall glass of a red liquid.

"Here you are, Master Spike." Lain said as she bent over and offered him the drink.

"Oh, thank you." Spike said as he reached out and took the drink from the tray.

While Spike began to drink the sweet drink, Lain looked up and winked at the other two maids, who winked back. As Lain stood up, she suddenly 'lost her balance' and fell onto Spike. After the initial shock wore off, Spike quickly helped the young maid in a sitting position and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Yes, Master Spike, I'm fine..." Lain was suddenly cut off as Spike eyes fixated on her and a blush overcame his face, and Lessy and Tisha's, too. Lain looked down and saw that, at some point after tripping, her top burst open and her breasts were visible, floating in the water, But before anything else could be said, a voice screamed out that caught all four of their attention.

"SPIKE THE DRAGON, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" The voice belonged to Rarity, who was standing in the doorway in a silk dress that was cut into a V over her upper hip. The four looked at her, while Spike sweated as he didn't expect that this would happen at all.
