(Canterlot Train Station)

Spike sighed as he stood there at the train station. He had been in charge of meeting up with the Equestria Games Inspector here at the station.

Originally it was going to be Twilight and the girls, but after an urgent call from his cousin Cadence, they left him in charge.

So here he was, trying to find a mare, who he didn't get a description of.

'Seriously? They could at least have told me how she looked like!' Spike mentally complained before sighing.

Soon the train arrived as he tried to keep a look out for a mare who looked professional.

'Alright...where could she be?' Spike thought.

His eyes landed on a mare with a lime green mane and tail with a yellow coat that had a pink vest over it with a chicken cutie mark on her flank.

'That must be her!' Spike mentally deduced as he went to her side.

"Excuse me? I'm Spike, I've come here to escort you to the empire Ms...."

"Peachbottom! Ms. Peachbottom!" Answered the mare in a hyper tone that briefly reminded the dragon of Pinkie.

"Peachbottom. Allow me to take your bags and I show you this wonderful kingdom." offered Spike with a bow.

The mare just giggled, "Oh my, what a gentledrake~!"

Spike blushed as he grabbed the cases and they began their walk to the kingdom.

Unknown to them, after they left a few minutes later the mane six went to help Spike receive the real representative for the Equestria Games and met with said mare, but there wasn't any sight of the dragon!

"Great, where could he be?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"I don't know girls, but right now we must take care of the representative for the Equestria Games." Said Twilight.

"My name is Ms. Harshwhinny, thank you very much." spoke said mare with a professional tone.

"Oh, sorry about that!" Twilight said in embarrassment.

"We better find the fella before it gets too late." suggested Applejack.

"First we must get Ms. Harshwhinny to see Cadence, then we'll look out for Spike." Twilight told them.

So the mane six took Ms. Harshwhinny to see Cadence while we find ourselves back with the dragon and mare.

Said dragon was showing his escort around the empire as the crystal ponies were bowing down to Spike.

"Excuse me, Mr. Spike, but why are they bowing?" asked Peachbottom.

"Because I kinda helped them be saved from a tyrant..." Spike answered in a mix of pride and embarrassment.

"What?! A little fella like you? No way!" replied Peachbottom not trying to be rude, but found it hard to swallow.

"It's true, although despite being Twilight and Cadence the ones that did the job, I'm still considered a hero. Not that I don't mind." Spike said with a chuckle.

"So you're the hero to all them?" asked Peachbottom looking around the place.

"Yeah..." He answered with a slight blush at the praise.

"Wow. And you're just a baby dragon?"

"Yeah, but mentally I'm as old as a young stallion...although I do have some childish moments from time to time." He said.

"What else can you do?" she asked in curiosity.

"Send messages to the princess through my flames." He explained.

"I thought dragon flames could only burn things." spoke Peachbottom whose tone was full of awe.

"They can do that, but with magic they have many other uses." Spike explained proud.

"Is there anything you can't do?" asked Peachbottom.

"Use an element of harmony..." He answered as they both laughed at that.

(Multiverse)

Several Spikes that became the bearers of the elements of harmony in several universes sneezed at once.

They soon made their way near the area of the crystal heart as the stallions saluted him.

"Do you require anything, Prince Spike?"

"Please guys, just call me Spike." Said the dragon in embarrassment.

They nodded as they walked by the place with Peachbottom looking at him in surprise.

"You're a prince?"

"Adopted by Princess Celestia after my birth. But please don't let it affect you in anyway." He answered.

"Wow, I feel a little embarrassed. If I knew a prince was gonna show me around, I would have dressed better." mumbled Peachbottom with an embarrassed blush.

"It's alright." Spike assured her.

"You sure? I mean I'm not all gussied up like some mares."

"I don't care about that, besides, you have quite the wonderful personality." Spike said with a smile.

Peachbottom blushed before pulling Spike into a hug. "Well aren't you just the sweetest little thing."

"Y-Yeah, t-thanks..." Spike said with a blush.

"Hey, since you're here, why don't I show you to the spa? Your trip was probably real draining." suggested Spike.

"Yes please!" She answered with a smile.

Spike smiled and lead the way for the spa.

But unknown to them, the mane 6 and Ms. Harshwhinny also went there after the 6 mares managed to convince the serious mare of letting the Crystal Empire be the place where the Equestria Games happen.

Spike managed to get in thanks to an opening they had and got Peachbottom all set up on one of the massage tables.

"Ohhhhh...so gooooood~!" She moaned at the massage, with Spike agreeing as he was getting his scales massaged as well.

They failed to see the mane six and Ms. Harshwhinny in the next spot over as said mare was getting a massage.

"What a wonderful escort I had..." The green haired mare told herself.

"Oh? I had to be escorted by six mares who were late." spoke Ms. Harshwhinny.

"Why were they late?" Asked Peachbottom in surprise.

"They said they had their friend keep an eye out for me, but I think that's just an excuse they came up with. Who was escorting you?"

"A very kind dragon." She answered.

"Oh? What else?" asked Harshwhinny.

"Well, on the way everypony was kneeling in front of him because he's a prince." She said.

"A prince?" gasped Ms. Harshwhinny who found that impressive.

"Yes, he was adopted by princess Celestia." She said.

"Really?" asked the mare who definitely was interested now.

Peachbottom nodded.

"Wait, would this dragon happen to be the hero the crystal ponies have talked about?"

"Yes, why?" Peachbottom asked.

"Those mares said he was suppose to find me at the train station."

"Oh? But I was told he was my escort today."

It quickly dawned on the two mares on what happened.

"Oh dear..." Peachbottom said.

Both mares soon felt their massages end as they got up from the tables.

"So where is the prince?" Asked Ms. Harshwhinny with a chuckle.

"Right here." smiled Peachbottom pulling Spike over.

Spike was surprised upon finding himself in front of another mare.

"So, you're the dragon who I was suppose to meet?" asked Harshwhinny.

Spike, having been told the truth from his friends, looked nervous. "Y-yes..."

"Well, it seems like you really showed this mare a good time." smiled Harshwhinny gesturing to Peachbottom.

"Indeed he did!" She squealed hugging him.

Spike blushed at the hug as the girls noticed their friend.

"Is she the pony you showed around, Spike?" Asked Twilight.

"Yeah." replied the dragon.

"She's fun!" Pinkie said with a smile.

Spike chuckled while Peachbottom held him up.

"This is for showing me around."

"EH?" Spike then felt a kiss on his cheek!

He blushed bright enough to contrast his scales as she set him down.

The mane 6 were watching the event in shock.

"Spike has a marefriend!" cheered Pinkie.

Rarity fainted upon seeing that.

Rainbow paid Applejack the bits she owed her for their bet on Rarity's reaction to Spike getting with a different mare.

Twilight's mind shut down from the shock.

Fluttershy gave a small smile at the new couple.

Spike could only look at his escort with a blush.
