We find a young dragon going on his way to the Carousel Boutique.

He was Spike the Dragon, who was going to see Rarity.

But this was a different visit. He was going to ask her parents straight to their faces that he wanted to date their daughter.

'I hope they say yes...' He thought worried.

He finally made it to the boutique and swallowed the lump in his throat before knocking.

Soon the door was opened by Sweetie Belle.

"Hey Spike! You here for Rarity?"

"Yes sweetie, she and your parents..." Answered the dragon.

"Oh! Come in." said Sweetie opening the door and letting the dragon in.

Spike nodded as he went inside.

He followed Sweetie to the kitchen where a grown stallion and mare sat at the table.

'So they must be her parents...' Spike thought.

"Well hey there! You must be the dragon our daughter's talked about. My name's Hondo Flanks and this is my wife Pearl." greeted the stallion.

Spike nodded a bit nervous.

"So nice to see the dragon our daughter goes on and on about." smiled Pearl.

Spike blushed at that, 'Now I see where Rarity gets her beauty from...'

"Mom!" called Rarity walking in. "You didn't need to tell him that!"

"Sorry, dear." Said Pearl.

"So, what's your name fella?" asked Hondo.

"Spike the Dragon, sir, madam." He answered.

"Well, what can we do for you today?" asked Pearl.

"W-well...um, you see..." Spike tried to say in a nervous way.

"Come now, no need to be shy. You came here for a reason, so let's hear it." urged Hondo.

"Well..." Spike sighed. "I would like your approval to date your daughter Rarity."

Both of the parents were surprised to hear that, but before Hondo could reply, his wife beat him to it.

"What?!" She gasped. "No! Absolutely not!" replied Pearl.

Everypony gasped at that.

"But mother!" tried to say Rarity.

"No buts young lady!" Pearl said, worried about her daughter's maidenhood.

"But sweetie, I'm sure this young man cares deeply for our daughter." threw in Hondo.

"But what if he's faking it and then does something awful to our daughter's maidenhood?!" She said while falling dramatically on the couch.

All of them sweatdrop while Spike knew he had to do something.

"Please, I swear I'm not that kind of guy. Isn't there anything I can do to prove myself?"

Pearl narrowed her eyes as she thought what to do until an idea hit her.

"Ok. Follow me and I'll show you what you can do." replied Pearl getting up from the table.

Spike nodded nervously as he followed her.

She walked into a bedroom and sat on the bed as Spike closed the door.

"Now...what should I do?" Asked Spike.

"I want you to kiss me." replied Pearl.

"W-WHAT?!" Exclaimed the now blushing dragon.

"I want to make sure you can satisfy my daughter if you two kiss in public." replied Pearl.

Spike blushed at that but then asked, "But what about your husband?"

"We'll keep this our little secret." winked Pearl.

Spike tried to say something, but eventually sighed and resigned himself.

"OK. But Rarity can't know about this." replied Spike.

Pearl nodded at that.

"Alright, now pucker up." smiled Pearl closing her eyes and holding her lips out.

Spike gulped before he closed his eyes and kissed Pearl.

And amazingly, it was great. Their lips seemed to mold together and Pearl took the lead and began to massage his lips.

'So...good...' Spike thought.

When they pulled apart, Pearl giggled at seeing Spike's flushed face.

"How...was t-that?" Asked a blushing Spike.

"Not bad, but I think we might need to practice a little bit more." grinned Pearl.

"W-what?! Practice?!" Gasped the blushing dragon.

"You do want to impress Rarity right?" asked Pearl.

"Y-yes." He said.

"Then practice with me will guarantee you'll impress her." smiled Pearl.

Spike tried to find a way out before sighing and nodding.

Satisfied, Pearl headed for the door and opened it, but looked back at Spike with a seductive look. "If you ever need practice with anything else, just ask~!" she said before walking back to the kitchen.

Spike could only nod dumbly.

(Omake)

After that one day, things had been a little odd for Spike.

On the first side, he could now date Rarity like he always dreamed about!

On the other, he was technically cheating on her with her own mother; who had definitely taught him how to kiss like an expert.

But Pearl said that it was to teach him how to pleasure her daughter.

And seeing how he didn't want to stir anything up, he believed her and they had been doing this for a week behind both Rarity and Hondo's backs.

Now they were in the boutique as the others were out.

Spike was sitting across from Pearl who was sipping some tea without a care in the world.

"How is your relationship with my daughter doing?" Asked Pearl.

"Great. When we went dancing, she said I had real skills. Thanks by the way." whispered Spike on the last part.

"You're welcome." She answered while giggling.

"But, I still feel like this is wrong." said Spike.

"How so?" She asked.

"Well, you're a married mare for one." replied Spike.

"So? Our marriage has grown dull after having children..." She said.

"Really? You two look so happy." remarked Spike.

"Yes we are, but my husband rarely spends more time with me than his work..." She said.

"Well the second reason is because it is still technically cheating on your daughter." he replied.

"Like I said, what they don't know won't hurt them..." She said.

"But what if they catch us?" he asked.

"Don't worry about it, I'll take the fall when that happens." She answered.

Spike was surprised to hear that, and literally had his breath taken away when she leaned over and claimed his lips again.

Soon they separated as Pearl smiled at him.

"Like I said, ever need any practice for something else, you know who to call." winked Pearl.

Spike could only nod dumbly.
