"Wh...what?" Spike questioned Rarity.

"Sorry Spike, but no. Look, you're a wonderful model for my stallion's fashion but...I'll never love you that way."

After the rejection, Spike then took what she said and became a model on Manehattan's runways!

But the problem was where would he go? He had no idea on how to find someone and there was no guarantee he'd get a job there.

Spike was not sure how he'd go through with the modeling career until one day...

"Hey! Don't you dare put your hooves on me!" Shouted an older mare.

"It's your fault for calling me filthy you dang cougar!"

Spike heard this and ran over to where the sound was.

"Someone, help!"

He spotted a mare being roughly handled by a stallion.

"What the?! Back off dragon, this ain't your busin..." Then the stallion got burnt to a crisp! "*cough!* She's all yours! *thud!*"

"Are you alright?" asked Spike in concern for the mare.

"I'm okay young man..." That's when the pink haired mare with a black coat got a good look at her savior's amazing build. While he was shorter than herself, he did have some muscle that showed with the scales over his body. If he kept building muscle like that, he'd be able to lift any stallion.

"Well, I'll be going now."

The mare then thought quick! "Wait!"

"Huh?"

"Would you like to be a model? On a poster that every teenage girl will have in their room?"

"Really? Cause I actually came here to see if I could get a job like that."

"Well, you certainly saved the right mare! I am Prim Hemline! Here's my card! My office's address is there if you'd like for me to be your manager. Now I must go, my suit should be ready for me at the dry cleaners."

Spike stared at the card in shock as the mare walked past him.

So Spike agreed to what she said and came to her office the next day. When he did, he saw she was preparing different mares for some shoots.

"Alright Photo Finish, what do you think?"

"All of them are lovely! Wait...is that a male I smell?"

"Ah, yes. This young drake saved me and I thought he might be just the thing we've been looking for."

"You think so?" Photo Finish observed Spike's build. "I think you are onto something Prim Hemline."

Spike shyly walked over as Photo Finish took a closer look over his form.

"He looks ready!"

"Great! Girls, would you please change him into the stallions wear?" Some of the mares nodded before guiding him to the back.

Spike was forcibly changed before going back to Prim and Photo. "W-was my junk fondled?"

"Sorry. Sometimes it happens when getting changed."

"You don't say." Said a blushing dragon.

"Come now. It's time to see what you got." urged Hemline.

Spike started off with a manly strut. He tried to stay calm, but confident.

"Hmm...have you been practicing?" asked Photo Finish.

"No, why?"

"Incredible, you've got talent kid! Let's get started in your photo shoot!"

"Wait, really?"

"Yes! Prepare to be a star!"

'Alright, soon...I can forget all about everyone once I use this fame to ignore my pain.' He was taken to the photo shoot.

"So, you're the new addition to our male model group?" Asked a handsome pegasus.

"Yeah." The stallion looked at him "I mean totally bruh!"

"Right-on!"

Then they hoofbumped. Then Prim Hemline came in.

"Alright young men, those ponies want a show, and I expect a spectacular one, especially with the new addition."

"You got it." spoke a stallion unicorn. All of them got in line and prepared themselves as Prim Hemline announced her new stallion's line. Prim told him to stand in the back as best for last!

After everyone went...

"Break a leg." said the earth stallion.

"Thanks..." Spike then headed for the stage.

"And now, my best for last...I bring you..." Then Spike emerged! "...The Brave New Start Outfit!"

The crowd was a little surprised to see a dragon instead of a stallion.

"Behold, my new model, Spike the Dragon."

The crowd stomped their hooves improvement.

'Memory loss, here I come! Hopefully I'll find a brand new crush.'

He kept strutting different poses as the show continued. Eventually, he made a big finish, making the crowd roar!

"This guy needs to cut the red ribbon at the new orphanage that doubles as a public elementary school!" commented a mare!

"He needs to advertise my cookie flavored liqour!" commented a stallion.

"Guess I know who I'll be thinking about in the tub tonight."

Spike then fabulously went back behind the curtains.

"You were spectacular!" Complimented Prim Hemline.

"Heh, thanks." chuckled Spike who felt a little embarrassed.

So after that fateful night...as Spike's fame grew, he started to forget about Ponyville and became one of the most famous male models ever, and even fought off the paparazzi with his fire breath.

He had just finished another show and was greeted by Hemline.

"Great work out there kid."

"Thanks boss, I love this job so much! I-I can almost hear the teenage mares faint!"

"That's something you'll be hearing a lot of." she smiled patting him on the back.

Spike smiled.

"So...feel like taking a break for the night? I'd like to take someone with me to a new restaurant."

"Sure."

"Great, go home, put on this new line and I'll pick you up in 30 minutes."

He accepted it and went off to his new penthouse he got from this job. After changing, he then waited for her outside his doorstep.

'Oh Prim, doesn't waste time on promotion huh?' Spike thought. 'Then again, I wonder what she'd look like in her mare's fashion lines.'

He waited a few minutes before he saw her door open. Spike was the greeted by his boss in casual night wear.

"Good evening Spike, how do I look?"

"You look nice in casual." Spike complimented.

"You're too kind." Then she extended her hoof. "Mind walking me to the taxi?"

"Of course m'lady." They looped arms as they walked to the taxi carriage.

"Ladies first?" Spike said as he presented her a path.

"What a gentledrake."

Then as they waited for their destination, Spike looked at Prim Hemline and thought about he in her own fashion lines. Spike then blinked fast and shook his head as a sign of snapping back to reality.

"You okay champ?"

"Yeah..."

Soon they arrived at the restaurant as Spike helped Hemline down.

"So, what is this place?"

"A fusion of vegan and Italian and yes, there's Pizza and Calzones here." She confirmed.

"Sweet."

So they went in, waited in line, and ordered. Then were told to go to table 7 from the counter stallion to wait for their order.

"Well, it'll be a while for our pizza, wanna talk about our personal lives?"

"Sure."

Spike then began. "So a friend of mine outside of work introduced me to this new street comedian, he's pretty good, but it's only her hobby."

"Her hobby?"

"Yeah, the cutie mark says her talent is a robin."

"Oh? That's interesting."

"Yeah, so Prim, what about you? What's been going on after hours?"

"Well whenever I get back home, I try relaxing by watching soap operas."

"Oh, so you're a couch potato like anyone else." Spike joked.

"Oh hush you." she giggled lightly shoving his shoulder.

"Oh yeah? You wanna test me boss?" Spike then wiggled his fingers.

"What are you..."

Then Spike lightly jabbed a finger on her waist, while making a buzzing sound as if he was zapping her.

"Eek!" She tried to stay silent as they waited, but surprised Spike by poking both his sides with her hooves.

"Gah! Hey!"

"Stop it!" Prim Hemline giggled.

"No! You first!" Giggled Spike.

"You started it!"

"Table 7, you meal is ready!"

Both immediately stopped as Spike got up to get it.

"Hey Prim, smell this!" Spike said as he pointed at the food.

"Mmm, smells good."

Spike and Prim then enjoyed their vegan pizza.

"So question, how often do you ask your employees out to dinner?"

"..."

"Boss? Come-oooooon."

"Shorry, canch alk wiv my mouth fuff!"

"Okay, but once you swallow, we talk!"

"That's what she said." commented a guy who just came back from the bathroom.

After Prim Hemline swallowed, Spike grabbed her wrist to stop her from taking another a bite.

"Now tell me..."

"*mumble!"

"Huh?"

"Only...when I'm feeling lonely..." She then looked down.

"You're feeling lonely?" he asked in surprise.

"Yes...I admit it, sometimes when I'm feeling lonely at home, I like to take advantage of my job and ask out my clients."

Spike then hugged her. "You poor thing, hey, maybe after eating the pizza, I can stay the night at your place, you know, we'd hang out, I sleep on your couch, then the next morning, say hi to the smiling breakfast face?"

"I'd like that." she smiled.

"Awesome!" 'I wonder if I can ask her to try on some clothes for me.'

After finishing up their meal, Spike paid for the meal as they got another taxi.

"You didn't need to pay."

"Hey, I you may be the one paying me, but I wanna pay for you."

"Well that's sweet."

Then, after they made it to Prim Hemline's home, they watched of her soaps.

Spike tried staying awake to watch. It ended soon and he was awake still.

"That was cute that they finally kissed at the end."

"Wasn't it lovely?"

"You're cuter than the girl in that show."

"Oh you."

"It's true, I bet you'd look younger if you were in your own mare's fashions."

"I couldn't. Those were made for other mares. I merely keep an eye out on whether they fit the model business.

"So you have your designs?"

"Y-yes, but I'd never put them on..."

"*sniff!* Ah...."

"Spike?"

"Aaah..."

"No, no, no..."

"Achoo!" a tiny stream of fire almost touched her lamp."That was close, sometimes I forget I'm a dragon you know?" Spike pretended to wonder why he sneezed. "I'm probably allergic to a mixture of fear, shyness and cowardice."

"I know what you're doing."

"Oh-no, I'm about aaaaaah..."

"Stop it! Please! I-I'll put the clothes on." Hemline turned and ran to her room. She had to do what Spike wanted, or risk burning down her home.

She browsed through the clothes in a hurry.

"Man, I wonder what she'll look like."

"Spiiike? Can we not do this?"

"Aaah..."

Prim then ran out!

"Guuuuuuh?" Spike's eyes widened.

"What do you think? It is Fall you know, so I thought why not start off by putting on one of my Fall wear?" She said in her leaf patterned tank top/dress hybrid, khaki shorts, and red shoes.

"Wow." he got out.

"Oh...thank you...Is that it?"

"More! Come on, I wanna see more. As I said, I ain't leaving you alone tonight."

"Oh alright." she sighed before walking back to the closet. 'Maybe he'll like this?'

Later...

"Okay Spike, here's my line for teenage fillies." She said in her short pink skirt and yellow short sleeve v neck shirt with light blue accents, complete with a barrette that looks like Fluttershy and black sunglasses.

"Nice."

Prim blished with this next one. "Okay...just one swimsuit, got it?"

"Yeah yeah, let's see it."

Prim the stepped into the living room, her embarrassment couldn't be any worse.

"Hey do you like it?" Prim was in a 2 piece bikini that had hexagon shaped cups for the top and a more oval shape for the bottom.

"Oh yeah." he nodded with a grin.

"Dammit...lingerie...much worse than bikinis."

"Come-on Prim, I wanna see you." Said an excited Spike.

Then Prim entered in a black bra with a white spiral pattern, black panties with a white floral pattern, complete with stockings.

"S...so? Am I..." That's when Spike surprise kissed her. "Spike!"

"Sorry...b-but I can't hold back anymore." Spike said while picking her up.

"Stop this right now!"

"But boss, I really...really want you!" Spike with Prim in his arms then entered her bedroom.

"If you don't stop, I'll fire you!"

"But boss, I love you!"

"What?"

"It's true."

"How are you so sure?"

"You are an awesome boss, you helped my career take off, you gave me the best sponsors."

"I was just looking out for you. That doesn't warrant feelings of affection."

Spike was then taking off his clothes. "Then why am I here? You wanted me because you were lonely! You wanted me because you were looking for a boyfriend, but all of your other clients were one date and done. No relationship after the date! Hoping tonight's your lucky night!"

Prim then looked away.

"Look at me, you know I'm right!"

Prim hesitantly looked at Spike. "I guess it's true."

"You see? Now let's have some fun!" Spike leaned down and kissed Prim as the camera panned away to give them privacy.
