Spike's Gals
Chapter 17: spike and sapphire shores
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSpike was having a hard time controlling his excitement as the line got shorter and shorter. He was about to get into a concert. But not just any concert, this was for his favorite singer. Sapphire Shores. She was a famous popstar from Canterlot who was holding a concert here in Ponyville. Luckily, he had managed to snag a ticket before they were sold out.
After getting past the guard to the concert, he found a good spot in front of the stage in the crowd of ponies. The lights soon dimmed and fireworks shot up, causing everypony there to cheer as the pony of pop herself rose up from the stage with the dancers behind her.
"Hellooooo, Ponyville! You ready to get your groove on!" called Sapphire Shores as the already excited crown stamped their hooves in the form of a cheer. "Than let your ears listen to my newest hit single!"
Sapphire and the dancers took their places as the son slowly began to come on.
Song: Naturally by Selena Gomez
How you choose to express yourself
It's all your own and I can tell
It comes naturally, it comes naturally
You follow what you feel inside
It's intuitive, you don't have to try
It comes naturally, mmmm, it comes naturally
And it takes my breath away (away, away, away)
What you do so naturally (turally, turally, turally)
[Chorus:]
You are the thunder and I am the lightening
And I love the way you know who you are and to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Ba-ba-baby
You have a way of moving me
A force of nature, your energy
It comes naturally (you know it does), it comes naturally
Mmmm, yeah
And it takes my breath away (away, away) every time
What you do so naturally
[Chorus]
When we collide sparks fly
When you look in my eyes
It takes my breath away
It was at that moment of her dancing that Sapphire gazed into the crowd and her eyes met up with Spike. She suddenly found that her breath seemed to slip out of her. Luckily, she got in under control before continuing the song, but keeping a lingering gaze on the dragon while she continued to finish the song.
[Chorus]
Everything, baby, comes naturally
Sapphire Shores and her dancers stopped, signalling the end of the song. The crowd then began to stomp their hooves in excitement as Sapphire smiled and waved to them.
"Thank you all. I'd love to stay and continue, but we need to take a little break." replied Sapphire walking off the stage with the crowds down about having to wait, but excited for when she came back.
Spike saw his opportunity to meet Sapphire as he not only got a ticket, but a back stage pass. A little token from the Crystal Empire for saving them. He made his way through the crowd and saw Sapphire's dressing room. He showed the back stage pass, but the stallion guarding her room said he could be there, but couldn't be in the stars dressing room.
Spike was about to leave, but Sapphire looked out her door and spotted him. "Well, hello there fella. What you doing here?" asked the pony of pop.
"I came back here to see if i could meet you in person." replied Spike with a nervous tone in his voice.
"Well I always have time for a fan. You can let him." the stallion nodded and moved to let Spike through as he was allowed in.
"Say, weren't you the dragon I just saw in the crowd?" asked Sapphire who wanted to be absolutely sure.
"Yeah, you were staring at me with those beautiful eyes of yours." chuckled Spike who realized what he said and slapped himself mentally.
Sapphire was surprised by the unintentional compliment, and actually found herself blushing. She smiled at the nervous look Spike had on his face and found it cute.
"Don't worry hun, nothing wrong with compliments." assured Sapphire.
"I know, kinda slipped out." replied Spike rubbing his head.
Sapphire smiled and gestured for him to take a seat. After they were both seated, they began to talk.
Spike had begun with how he was hatched by twilight and was raised a little bit by Celestia, who actually adopted him considering she had always wanted a son. He then went on to explain how he use to have a crush for a unicorn named Rarity, but that passed after a long time.
Sapphire felt bad for Spike as he mentioned Rarity. It was clear he cared for her a lot, but she changed the subject to try and get him to focus on something else. She went on to explain how she discovered her talent was singing and went on to be one of the best young fillies around her age.
Spike was enjoying the time spent with Sapphire, but noticed the time and said he had to go home.
"Well, I enjoyed our time here, Spike." replied Sapphire getting up. She walked towards the door before turning to him. "Aren't you coming?"
"What? But I have to go, you still have a concert to finish." replied Spike with confusion.
"I got time. One of the bands is doing several encores, so I got some time." replied Sapphire.
Spike shrugged his shoulders and lead the way to Twilight's new castle with the pony of pop. Luckily, it was night time so they didn't run into any fans.
Spike and Sapphire made it to the castle with Sapphire looking at it in awe. "Well, this is where we say goodbye." replied Spike who wished the walk was longer.
"Well I don't think you have to say goodbye. After all, you said things didn't work out with Rarity, but that special mare might be closer than you think."
"What makes you think that?" asked Spike.
Sapphire got right in Spike's face with a smile and a strange glint in her eye. "Call it instinct." Sapphire pressed her lips against a surprised Spike's, who gladly returned the feeling by moving his claws through her soft mane. What really got Spike into the kiss was a noticeable scent from her mane that actually smelled of sapphires.
Sapphire pulled back and smiled at Spike's love struck and dazed expression. "Hope to see ya at my next concert, Spikey." replied Sapphire who gave Spike a wink as she headed back to her concert.
Spike didn't know how that happened, but he knew one thing for sure. He needed to ask his mom for more tickets!
(omake)
The city of Canterlot was much different than before. One could tell due to the fact that was giving off music that could be heard all over Equestria.
The reason was quite simple. After a couple years of dating, Spike proposed to Sapphire Shores. Her reply was a loud scream of yes that broke numerous windows. And considering she was the pony of pop, Celestia had given her the title of princess of pop! This resulted in a new rule. Dance off every day. Which was a good way to deal with the snooty ponies of the city.
Now we see the center of Canterlot with numerous ponies dancing with a noticeable couple in the middle. An older Spike danced with his wife, Sapphire Shores who wore a blue ball gown while wearing specially made hoof wear similar to Celestia and Luna and made sure to keep close to Spike to make sure all watching knew he was taken.
Meanwhile, Rarity was currently trying to get some sleep, but had trouble due to the loud music that shook her home.
"Make it stop!" yelled Rarity who lost once again lost the opportunity to be royalty.
