A young adult mare had just gotten back home after being relieved of her shift.

"Man, I thought my legs were gonna give out. Stupid empty hallways." She just collapsed on her couch, relaxing as she feels the soft velvet feel of the fabric. Speaking of velvet, there was a knocking on the door followed by Twilight Velvet's voice.

"Gleaming Shield? Are you home?"

"Yeah, I'm coming." She then groaned and climbed off the couch. She opened the door and smiled seeing a small filly walk in with a baby dragon on her back. "Hey Twily."

"Hi big sis."

"Would you mind taking Spike for a little bit, me, dad and Twilight need to do a lot of errands.

"Well I'm not doing anything right now so sure."

"Great."

"Hear that Spike? Gleamy is gonna take care of you."

The dragon giggled while he was levitated on the mare's back.

"Well, we'll be seeing you, make sure Spike has gemstones to eat and watch out for his firebreath." Said Velvet before they left.

Gleaming looked at the dragon and walked over before laying on the couch and set him on her back. "Stay there Spike, I need some time to relax."

Spike sniffed her long mane. He nuzzled it, then rolled his head all over it like dog.

"You having fun?" she smiled.

Spike then wrapped his little arms around her neck.

She smiled and rubbed his head with one hoof. "So did you hear that I'm gonna be promoted to Captain soon?"

He tilted his head confused.

"Don't worry about it, not like you'd understand at your age." She chuckled to herself. "You probably feel hungry right?" She then used her magic to get some gems out of her bag and towards Spike.

He smiled and grabbed one of them before munching on it.

'Wonder if I'll ever end up a parent some day.' She thought before petting Spike on the head. "Make sure you chew it all up."

After chewing and swallowing, Spike let out a light burp.

"Phew, even baby dragon breathe smells awful." she waved it off with a cringe.

After Spike finished eating, he fell asleep.

'Awwww...so cute. I'll definitely make a good mom in the future.' Gleaming thought to herself before joining Spike in his slumber.

And so, years passed and as Spike grew, he and her would enjoy everytime they interacted. But then came the time he and Twilight had to leave while she kept working and had been promoted to captain of the royal guards.

Both barely found time to bond. But that all changed on this day.

Yes, everything changed the day the Fire Nation attacked.

"Wait....what?" Asked Pinkie Pie.

Whoops, I meant the day The Batman died.

"What?"

Um...uh...Spikerulez302 help, Trahzo gave me the wrong scripts.

And thus they all lived happily ever after.

"Uh..."

Oh! Finally! I got the right script! Ahem! Twilight and Starlight left for Our Town while Spike was asked by Twilight Velvet and Night Light to visit them.

'This is gonna be great, I haven't really talked Twilight's parents and I get to see Gleaming Shield again.' he thought as he took the train. Spike was impatiently bouncing on his seat. The mare sitting next to him couldn't ignore why he's so happy.

"Wow kid, why are you so hyper? I'm kinda getting annoyed by it."

"Well ma'am, I'm gonna hang out with my BFF's parents and hang out with her awesome sister."

"You really like your Best Friend's sister?"

"Yeah! She's so fun! I love spending time with her."

"Is she your girlfriend?"

He blushed. "W-What! No! No no no, we're just best buds, that's all."

"Somehow I doubt that, I bet she's kissed you."

"Only on the cheek because of her big sister mentality." Spike admitted. "Besides, she's an adult and I'm just a kid." 'You're one to talk Spike with your crush on Rarity.'

Soon the train stopped and everyone got off.

Spike saw a royal guard holding up a sign that said Cute Dragon. He walked over with confusion. "You looking for me?"

They nodded before throwing him into a burlap sack, tying it up, knocking him out with a shovel, changing into secret agent clothes and dragging an unconscious dragon away.

An hour later, Spike woke up in Gleaming Shield's living room with both stallions.

"GAH! What was that for?"

"Oh sorry, the co writer put that part in for shock value."

"What shock val..." And then the stallions faded out of existence. "What the heck's going on?!" He shouted. 'Maybe Pinkie can explain it.'

So he sat there on Gleaming Shield's couch as he waited for said mare to come home.

'What I don't get is why they put cute dragon. Kinda weird.' He pondered before the front door opened.

"Spike."

"Hey Gleam..." And like that, Spike was levitated over for a hug which he returned. "It's great to see you again."

"Finally, it's been so long." Said Gleaming.

"Hey Gleaming, something seems off since I got here."

"How?"

"I was knocked unconscious, thrown into a bag, then I woke up here with 2 guards who suddenly vanished from our plain of existence."

"Oh...that...I told my general not to hire Creepster and Steal to pick you up."

"And they used a sign called cute dragon, which seems weird."

"It's true isn't it?"

He blinked. "Wait, you think I'm cute?"

"Of course." Then she rubbed his cheek.

'It's probably, as I said to that mare in the train, Gleaming's big sister mentality.'

"So how's Ponyville been to you?"

"Thanks to Pinkie Pie, I've been able to make friends with a lot of ponies, even finding a brotherly bond with some of them."

"Great to hear."

"Yeah, it really is."

"Any crushes?"

"No." 'Phew! Lied without showing any signs of it. Good job Spike.'

"Okay, now let's go, mom and dad have been dying to see you."

"Sure." Spike climbed up on Gleaming's back as she walked out.

Later, we now see all 4 having family fun...without Twilight.

Meanwhile....

"This is boring." Said Starlight.

"Yeah, I wish this bad guy would finish monologuing so I can have fun with my family." Replied Twilight.

"And so after I conquer the world, I will start off by making a new country with zebras, hydras, minotaurs..."

Back to Spike who was playing at a fair with all of them. 1st Velvet had a turn with Spike, then Night Light, and finally it was Gleaming's turn to spend time with Spike.

"So what do you wanna do?"

"Ooh, can we have fun in that ride?" Spike pointed to the Merry Go-Round. "I want to share a seat with you."

"Sounds good to me."

"Ladies 1st."

"What a gentleman." She then got on the...wait, what would carousel animals look like in the mlp universe? Most of the carousel animals are horses.

*whisper.*

Really? Okay! So she got on the lion. After she got on, Spike got on behind her. What Spike didn't account for is Gleaming's big round and soft flank.

It started with Spike holding onto the older mare. She shuddered, feeling his sharp claws grab her waist. 'I forgot how sharp those are.'

"Whoa...that kid is so lucky, that babe's ass is so big." Mumbled a stallion behind him.

"Yeah, wish I was there copping a feel."

"Wow, didn't think the captain was into kids." Said a female off duty guard.

"And the rare kind too. Guess she likes how rough dragons can get when they're older."

'Starting rumors huh? Doesn't matter, I'll just deny it and tell he's my adopted nephew.'

'Oh boy, they're starting rumors and starting a boner I wish wouldn't happen at this moment.' he thought in panic at feeling her flank. He was about to get off, but then the ride started and they were on one of the seats that go up and down. 'Oh come on!'

"Weeee, I haven't been on these since my failed 1st date in High School."

"Failed 1st date."

"Yeah, the idiot, tried to insert his dick up my butt, but I bucked him very hard! In Fact I think I saw the head shaped dent in the Seal behind you."

Spike gulped hearing that.

That's when the ride stopped and all the lights went off.

'Phew.' Spike thought before hopping off.

"We're experiencing technical difficulties." Said the operator.

"Too bad, but hey, I still got plenty of bits left, let's go get a snack."

"Yeah."

Later, we see Spike sitting next to Gleaming Shield when eating thier snacks. "This day has been great."

"You can say that again Spike." Replied Gleaming before pulling him closer for a hug.

"Someone's in a hugging mood." he smiled.

"That's because I got to spend a fun day with the best dragon ever."

Spike smiled and blushed. 'Man, she sure knows how to be sweet to a guy.' "Thank you Gleaming, that's very sweet."

"Not as sweet as the cotton candy I wanna share with you."

Spike's smile was bigger as she levitated the cotton candy between them.

"Let's see who can eat the most."

"You're on!"

So both of them started to much on the cotton treat. And before they knew it...

They kissed.

Spike blushed while Gleaming smiled as he pulled his head back. "G-gleaming! I'm so sorry!"

"About what?"

"About kissing you on the lips, totally didn't mean to do that."

"Oh I don't mind."

"Excuse me?"

"I actually planned this whole thing out so I could tell you something important.".

"Important?"

"Twily and I have been sending messages back and I gotta say, I'd prefer if you had a crush on me."

"Wha?!"

"So that's why Spike, will you be my boyfriend?"

Everyone heard.

"Whoa, that kid's so lucky."

"Wow, the girl, confessing to the guy."

"That's almost as surprising as Cadence's punk rock phase." Celestia low key roasted.

"You gotta be stupid to resist a mare that hot."

"B-But you're like a sister to me."

"So? We aren't even blood."

"This is pedophilia."

"Do any characters in the MLP universe even care?"

"B-b-but..." he stuttered before she grabbed his face and pressed their lips together again.

'Good thing he ran out of arguments.' she thought while Spike calmed down.

"So how about it Spike?"

"Uh....what time can I pick you up?"

"Yay! Next month on the 1st Friday."

"It's a date then."

And so ended a good day, and what luck, Spike got himself a mare hotter than Rarity.

"Hey!"
