Spike's gals

Spike and Derpy

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Spike, the assistant to Twilight Sparkle and adopted son of Princess Celestia was currently sipping from his mug of coffee as he dragged his feet out of bed to get the mail. He opened the door and his eyes widened as he felt something crash into him and ended up pulling himself out of a pile of books he had ended up in.

"What just happened?" questioned Spike who did not see that coming. He got his answer from a gray pegasus popping her head out from the paper who had a light blonde mane and was cross-eyed. This was the residential mailmare Derpy.

"Hey Spike!" cried Derpy with her excited tone as she pulled her bag out of the paperwork. "Got a letter for ya."

"For me?" asked Spike. Derpy nodded and handed him the letter addressed to him. He turned it over to see a red seal on it that had a picture of a flame on it. He was careful not to damage the seal and was able to open it without tearing the paper.

After getting the letter out, he began to read it.

"Dear Spike, if you are reading this, then I can tell you everything. For awhile, I have had feelings for you. I couldn't tell you in person as I was too shy. If you follow the map I have imprinted in this letter, than you will find me, and you will be able to see who I am in person." finished Spike reading the letter as he stared at it in shock. He had a secret admirer.

Spike closed his eyes and held the letter close to him and hoped it was rarity. He opened his eyes and shook his head as that was not possible. He recognized Rarity's handwriting during one of his days helping her, and this was not hers. It had to be somepony else.

For some reason, he felt excited to here that somepony liked him. All he had to do was follow the map. He looked down and saw that the map seemed a little sloppy, like the pony writing it was in a rush. He shrugged his shoulders as he turned to the door and headed out.

"Wait Spike!" called Derpy who ran to Spike. "Can I come and help you find this pony?" asked Derpy.

Spike thought about it and didn't see a reason not to. "Sure, come on." replied Spike as they began to follow the map.

Spike looked up and keeping his eyes on the map and saw they were at Sugarcube corner. Scratching his head, he shrugged his shoulders before heading inside with Derpy behind him.

As soon as they stepped in, Pinkie Pie came flying out with a cry that sounded like it was from a kung fu movie and was even dressed up as a ninja!

"I have my mission to keep you two out. So begone!" exclaimed Pinkie holding up two pies in her hoofs. Spike and Derpy ducked as the pies went over their heads and bolted out of their while Pinkie continued her ninja pie attack.

Pinkie took her mask off and giggled at seeing them run towards the Everfree Forest. "Hope all goes well."

Spike and Derpy continued to run from the ninja crazy pony as they soon found themselves at the entrance to the Everfree Forest.

Spike tried to catch his breath and pulled out the map. After finally getting his breath together, he read the note on the map.

"Spike, if you've made it this far, then continue into the forest until you reach a cave, the next clue will be there." said the note.

Spike felt unsure about going into the dark forest, but Derpy didn't seem to mind as she flew right in. Not wanting her to get hurt, he rushed inside to make sure she wasn't alone.

As they walked, Spike couldn't help but overhear some strange noises. He looked around and his eyes widened as Timberwolves surrounded the duo. Derpy and Spike stayed close as Spike could only utter one word at this moment.

"RUN!" yelled Spike who darted past a few Timberwolves with Derpy close behind him. Derpy was in such a hurry, that she ended up hitting something in the ground and did a flip in the air before regaining her balance and kept up the pace with Spike.

They soon made it out of there safely. As Spike tried to catch his breath once again, Derpy handed him something. He grabbed it and it was revealed to be part of the map that was ripped off.

"Spike, if you've made it this far, then all you have to do is reach one more point, and my identity will be revealed."

"You know, I'm starting to wonder if this is really worth it." replied Spike referring to their close encounters.

"Come on Spike! This mare might be the one for ya!" encouraged Derpy with visible eagerness in her voice.

Spike felt something was off in that sentence, but looked back at the map and it showed the trail leading to a cave. He began to lead the way again as they embarked to continue the journey.

They finally made it to a large cave that was as big as the one Spike found when Owlicious came. He walked in with Derpy behind him and both found themselves in complete darkness.

"Dang it! I can't see!" replied Spike.

"Try using your fire." suggested Derpy.

"Oh yeah." replied Spike who was glad the darkness covered his blush. He let out a stream of flames that ended up lighting something. Both watched with confusion as several more pieces lit up. They looked like candles, but made a weird noise.

Spike rubbed his chin to try and figure these out, then dropped his claw as he realized what surrounded them. "Holy mother of-"

BOOM

A large explosion blew up the cave and sent Spike and Derpy flying through the air, but somehow with no scratches on them.

Spike noticed they were gonna land on a tall hill and held Derpy close to him. She was confused until she saw the hill, then understood that he was gonna use himself to soften the landing.

They soon crashed on top of the hill, with minimal damage to either. Course Spike did have very durable scales.

Spike and Derpy pulled themselves together and Spike noticed the sunset in the distance. He wanted to enjoy it, but he pondered what the note said. The identity of his admirer would be here, but where?

He turned his head and saw Derpy staring at the sunset as well, and suddenly it clicked. He remembered Derpy saying she wanted to help him find the mare, but he never said what the letter had. She also grabbed something when they ran from the forest and was eager for him to finish this. Plus, she was the only one with him the entire time.

"Derpy? Are you my secret admirer?" asked Spike.

Derpy looked away and nodded her head. "But, why go through all this?" asked Spike.

"Because, I knew you liked Rarity, so I was hoping if I went on this journey with you, you'd feel something for me. I'm also the one who had Pinkie keep us away so we would follow my map." replied Derpy.

Spike could tell she was waiting to hear what he had to say, but he didn't say anything. He walked over to Derpy and hugged her from behind. She turned her head with a questionable gaze and felt Spike's scaly lips on her soft ones. She closed her eyes and hugged the dragon closer to her as the sunset painted a beautiful scene for their first kiss.

When they pulled back, Spike smiled and said, "Rarity would never do something like that. Plus, you've got the cutest smile." complimented Spike.

Derpy's face began to blush and she jumped on Spike. Both decided to just hold each other while the sunset descended, ending the day, and beginning Spike's new relationship.

(omake)

Citizens of Equestria! I am pleased to announce my daughter-in-law, and new princess. Princess Derpy!" called Celestia as Derpy walked on the balcony, but wearing the same jewelry the princesses were wearing.

"I am the muffin princess! Muffins for all!" cried Derpy who smiled as the citizens cheered for their prince's wife.

Spike smiled at his wife's antics and clapped with the citizens.

Meanwhile, Rarity was currently banging her head against a bar's wall for her idiocy at not claiming Spike when she had the chance.
