A week had passed since Sunset's official joining of the Elements of Harmony, and under the girls and Spike's supervision the girl had really grown to be a part of the team.

It was Saturday morning, and Spike and Twilight were on their way to their HQ, "So with Chrysalis and her Changelings in Tartarus that leaves us one less problem with, huh?" Spike asked hopefully.

"Let's hope. After that debacle I could use some R&R." Twilight answered.

"Don't we all." Spike replied.

At the HQ, it was as if Rarity had already provided the group an answer, "If it's R&R you desire, then look no further." she whipped out some passes.

"What're those?" Sunset inquired.

"Special passes to Canterlot Spa in Equestria." she answered.

"Canterlot Spa?" Spike asked, as he and Sunset were curious.

"That's right. The girls and I have been there before and the treatment was just divine!" Rarity beamed.

"Sounds like the perfect place to go after our last fight and with the work we've been doing." Twilight admitted.

"And a chance to show Spike and Sunset Shimmer something new." Fluttershy put in.

"How about it, you two?" Applejack asked the two.

"Well, I've been curious about seeing Equestria, so I'm in." Sunset answered.

"You sure they'll allow a dragon there?" Spike wondered.

"Of course they will. They can handle all types of creatures and not just ponies." Rarity assured him.

"Well, then count me in too."

"Fabulous," Rarity clapped her hands together, "Well, let's all head for Equestria."

"But first we need to transform." Rainbow suggested, and they nodded.

After taking on their other forms, Twilight used her magic to open a portal to Equestria, where they all entered.

When they appeared in Canterlot, the group looked around with Spike and Sunset Shimmer looking the most interested.

"This is Canterlot?" Sunset asked.

"You betcha." Applejack confirmed.

"I've only seen the castle here, but not the whole city." Spike said in amaze.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Fluttershy asked.

"Very beautiful." Sunset answered, as she continued to survey the scene of other anthro ponies walking about and acting like regular people back home.

"So where's this spa?" Spike asked Rarity.

"Right this way." Rarity said, as she led the group with Twilight.

They walked through Canterlot, with many of the ponies noticing them and whispering amongst each other. Spike noticed several ladies eyeballing him, but when he looked in their direction they looked away and giggled to themselves.

"Am I missing something here?" Spike asked the group.

Twilight answered, "Well, we did save Canterlot and Equestria from Nightmare Moon, so it's natural a lot of ponies here know who we are."

"I see what you mean." Spike realized, and saw more ponies still giving him looks of excitement, 'I might have a fan club here at Canterlot. Total score!' he thought to himself.

They soon arrived at Canterlot spa, and went inside. Waiting by a counter were two ponies who looked like they were twins. One had a light cerulean colored coat, with her mane and tail colored pale rose, while her eyes azure. The second one had the same eye color as the first, but her mane, tail, and coat were switched from the first ponies. What they both had in common was a lotus cutie mark, and a voluptuous bust.

"Welcome to Canterlot Spa. Where every day feels like paradise." the one with the cerulean coat began.

"Lotus Blossom, Aloe, good morning to you both." Twilight greeted them.

"Princess Twilight and friends, so good to see you." Aloe greeted them.

"A pleasure as well." Rarity agreed.

"I see you've brought two new guests with you." Lotus took notice of Spike and Sunset Shimmer.

"And if I'm not mistaken, this is the vessel to the Dragon King, Spike." Aloe guessed.

"Um, yes, that's me."

"A pleasure to meet you. My name is Lotus Blossom and this is my sister Aloe."

Twilight pulled Sunset over, "Well, this is our newest friend Sunset Shimmer."

"It's nice to meet you." Sunset greeted them.

"And always nice to meet a new customer. So what brings you all here today?" Aloe asked.

"We've got these passes for the royal treatment." Rarity showed them the passes.

"Think you can squeeze us all in?" Twilight asked hopefully.

"But of course," Lotus answered, "We always have room for our favorite customers."

"Thank you." Twilight thanked them.

"Changing rooms are over there, and we'll begin preparing the jacuzzi for you." Aloe instructed.

The group nodded and went to the changing rooms with Spike going to the mens side while the girls went to the ladies side.

In the mens changing room, Spike was putting his clothes into a basket before wrapping a towel around his waist. Sharing a jacuzzi with the girls, man this is gonna be so great! And those spa pony sisters. Damn are they hot." he salivated while envisioning girl on girl stuff with them.

"Come join us, Spike." the fantasy Lotus and Aloe pleaded.

Spike smiled erotically, until he realized something, "Oh, no! I can't be getting a hard on here and now! Ok, thing of other things. Think of other things! Football, Snips and Snails, Stone living in my attic!" he saw that it wore off, "Oh, thank God," he calmed down before sitting on the bench of the changing room, "I've really gotta learn to control myself. Especially in public places."

In the ladies changing room, each of the girls were changing out of their clothes resulting in each of their impressive busts bouncing once they removed their tops and bras. Sunset was admiring how her body looked in the buff in her unicorn form, before she and the girls wrapped themselves in towels.

"I've never really had a spa treatment before," Sunset admitted, "Hell, I've never really been to a spa period."

"Trust me, Sunset, once you've had a treatment here you'll wanna come back again." Rarity promised her.

"Well, come on, girls." Twilight said, as they left the room.

In the spa area, Spike walked out with the towel wrapped around his waist before seeing Lotus and Aloe standing near a big jacuzzi tub.

"Spike, perfect timing," Lotus began, "The jacuzzi is all set for you and your friends."

"Thank you, both," Spike stepped into the jacuzzi and started gasping and panting from the heated water against his scales, until he sighed in relaxation before sitting himself into the water, "Now this is comfortable." he rested his arms on the ledge and closed his eyes.

"Room for more?" Spike opened his eyes and saw standing above him on the other side of the jacuzzi were the girls all body wrapped in towels that hugged their chests.

"Oh, girls. I was just waiting for you." he said sheepishly, while trying not to stare.

"Right." Twilight nodded, as they stepped in with Fluttershy and Sunset recoiling from the heat before they got used to the temperature.

"Nice and warm." Rainbow relaxed.

"Fantastic." Rarity leaned her head back.

"Nothing like a good soak to wash away your troubles." Applejack relaxed.

'I'll say,' Spike thought, as he glanced around seeing the girls relax in the water, 'I'm this close to the girls who're just a towel away from exposing themselves.' he grinned to himself, until Rarity's voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"Oh, Spike." she scooted in so she was on his left side.

"Uh, yes, Rarity?"

"Aren't you happy I could get us all these passes here?" she leaned against him.

"Yeah, of course I am." Spike answered quickly.

Rarity smiled, "I'm glad. Seeing you happy brings joy to my heart."

"It does?"

"Yes. I'd do anything for my closest friends, Spike... Anything." she said seductively, as she continued to lean into Spike's side, making him turn red as the water itself was starting to boil.

"Rarity!" Twilight called, as she scooted over to Spike's other side and pulled him to her, "I don't know what game you're playing, but it's clear you're making Spike uncomfortable."

"What do you mean, Twilight? I was trying to make him feel comfy." Rarity giggled with innocence.

"I don't buy it." Twilight squinted at her suspiciously.

"What's going on?" Sunset asked the girls.

"Oh, this happens every so often," Pinkie began, "Twilight gets jealous every time she sees one of us gets too close to Spike."

"It does look rather silly if you think about it." Fluttershy giggled.

"Especially seeing her reaction." Rainbow put in.

"Twilight may be his squeeze, but sometimes that boy just has that allure to him." Applejack said, as they watched Twilight continue to scold Rarity who paid no mind, while Spike himself watched the two hoping for a cat fight.

"I see." Sunset replied, as she looked at Spike feeling a bit flustered.

Soon enough the group got out of the jacuzzi and dried off. After dawning fresh towels they were taken to get some treatment.

Rarity, Twilight, and Sunset Shimmer were getting their horns filed, Fluttershy and Applejack were getting their hair done, Rainbow Dash was avoiding the workers trying to file her toenails, while Pinkie Pie was enjoying it.

Spike was getting his claws, toenails, and even his spines filed, as he relaxed, "Ah, now this is what I needed." he looked at hie right claw seeing his nails were perfectly sharpened.

When they were finished, Aloe spoke up, "Good. Now you're all prepared to receive massages. Our workers will see to it you're relaxed.

"Except him," Lotus said, as she and Aloe stood on each side of Spike, "We'll handle this one."

"Huh, why do you two..." But Twilight and the others were already escorted off to another room by the workers.

Aloe turned to Spike, "Come with us, Spike."

"Sure." Spike answered, as he followed the two into another room.

Spike saw a massage table already set up, "Just get on the table and relax. We can do the rest." Lotus instructed Spike who lied face down on the table, while Lotus and Aloe began massaging him with Lotus handling his back and wings, while Aloe was doing the back of his legs.

"Ooh, this feels so relaxing. Girls, you definitely know how to get the right spots." Spike moaned in relaxation.

"It's our talent after all." Aloe answered.

"And this is an honor to us." Lotus added.

"Honor?" Spike wondered.

"You are a hero of Canterlot after all." Aloe answered.

"A hero?"

"Yes. You and the girls defeated Nightmare Moon and brought back Princess Celestia's sister." Lotus explained.

"If not for all of you it would've been nighttime forever." Aloe put in.

"Yeah. You're right. I mean I never would've guessed I'd make such a big difference." Spike said, as he continued to relax.

The two spa pony sisters smiled at each other, as Lotus spoke, "Spike, with your permission, y sister and I would like to try a new massage technique on you."

"New technique? It's not one of those painful ones that body builder masseuses do is it?" he feared.

"Not at all. This one we guarantee will be a very relaxing experience." Aloe promised.

"Well, if you say so. Ok." Spike said, as he prepared himself.

Unknown to Spike, the two sisters lowered their aprons down exposing their assets. The two got on both sides of Spike and began rubbing their breasts across his back.

"Ooh," Spike gasped, "Wow. I don't know what this is, but it feels good," he relaxed, while feeling ready to drift off into slumber, until he felt something hard press down onto his back, "Wait a minute, is that a... What're you two massaging me with?"

"We are using our chests, darling." Lotus answered, as they continued their work.

"Your chests?!" Spike panicked.

"Don't be so shy. You make for a perfect subject to try this new technique on," Aloe calmed him, "Doesn't it feel nice?"

"I... Actually, yes." he admitted.

"And this feels good to us too." Lotus added, as she and Aloe enjoyed it as well.

Spike thought in arousal, 'Two hot ponies are massaging my back with their bare gonzangas! This is downright the greatest experience ever!'

All the fun and joy from his experience was interrupted by Twilight standing in the door way with her arms crossed, "Spike, what the hell is going on in here?!"

Spike looked up seeing Twilight staring at him with narrowed eyes. Feeling busted he screamed in fright, as the other girls entered.

"Ooh, looks like fun." Pinkie smiled.

"Is that a normal massage here?" Sunset asked in surprise.

"It's not what it looks like!" Spike cried.

Lotus and Aloe turned to the girls without even caring their breasts were still exposed, "Spike is right, Princess. We're simply showing him a new technique is all."

"A back massage with our breasts a way to perfectly make one relax." Aloe added, as the seven

"That's not helping!" Spike shouted, before seeing Twilight's irritated look increase and screamed in fear for his life.

By the late afternoon back at HQ, Spike was down on his knees before Twilight who stood before him sighing, "Honestly, Spike. I will never understand your perversion."

"That was not my fault!" Spike pleaded, while the other girls giggled.

"Looks like a party's going on." came a voice, as Shining Armor and Cadence appeared via magic portal.

"Shining Armor? Cadence?" Twilight asked in surprise.

"It's good to see you all." Cadence greeted them.

"Nice to see you both too." Spike agreed, as he got on his feet.

"What're you two doing here?" Twilight wondered.

"We're here on a bit of business for Princess Celestia," Shining Armor began, "Plus isn't open house at school coming up?"

"What? You can't be telling me you're coming?" Twilight asked in disbelief.

"And miss a chance to see my sister at school, like that would happen." Shining Armor laughed much to Twilight's embarrassment.

"And we should also inform you your parents will be attending as well." Cadence added.

"Mom and dad too?" Twilight asked with a sigh, which went noticed by Spike.

'Even she feels embarrassed?'

"Wait a minute, where will you two even be staying here?" Twilight wondered. Shining smirked at her which made both Twilight and Spike uncomfortable.

That evening at Spike's place, Shining Armor was having a little drink with Spike's dad, while Cadence was helping his mom in the kitchen.

"I'm certainly glad my little sister hasn't been an inconvenience to you here." Shining Armor told the Drakes.

"Oh, no trouble at all, Shining." Spike's dad answered.

"That's right. Twilight's such a good girl. And she's very helpful around the house." his mom added.

Cadence smiled, "That's good to hear. And thank you so much for letting us bunk here for a bit."

"It's our pleasure, really." Mr. Drake replied.

Spike and Twilight sat off to the side, as Twilight turned to Spike, "I can't believe my older brother and old sitter are staying here the night."

"Not like we can do anything about it. Besides I'm still not used to having Stone living up in the attic. Speaking of which after dinner I'll have to save him a plate." Spike spoke, as he watched his dad acting all chummy with Twilight's bro.

After dinner, Spike and Shining Armor were in the boys room dressed for bed, while Twilight stood in her pajamas looking at her brother.

"What do you mean I can't sleep with Spike?!" she asked in outrage.

"Sorry about this, but I'd like to have a word with him. Surely you can survive one night without him." Shining explained.

Spike thought, 'Her brother doesn't even care she sleeps with me? Wonder how he'd feel if he knew she's started sleeping naked? On second thought I'd rather not know.' he snapped out of it as Twilight embraced him, "Twilight?"

"Spike, please tell me you'll be ok. Are you sure you'll be able to sleep tonight? Because I don't think I'll get any without you at my side." she spoke desperately.

Spike spoke, "Well, it will be different from previous nights, but I'll cope with it as best I can."

"If you're willing to go through it, then I will too." Twilight replied.

"Come along, Twilight," Cadence said, as she stood in the doorway, "It's time."

"Yes, Cadence. I'm coming." she answered.

Cadence looked at the boys, "Have a goodnight, you two."

"Goodnight, girls." Spike replied.

"We'll see you in the morning." Shining Armor added.

"Goodnight, Spike. Pleasant dreams." Twilight bid him farewell, as she and Cadence left the room.

That night as Spike laid in bed, he looked to the side seeing Shining Armor sleeping on a mat on the floor.

"Hey, man. I'm really sorry about this." he whispered.

"About what?" Shining Armor asked.

"For making the Prince of the Crystal Empire sleep on my bedroom floor."

Shining Armor chuckled, "It's not bad at all. Back in Equestria everyone treats me so formally. Here I don't have to think about being the Prince of an Empire and just be regular Shining Armor. In fact long before I was made a prince and even before my days as Captain of the Royal Guards I was just an average guy in high school."

"You were?" Spike asked, feeling compelled to know more.

"Oh, yeah. In fact I was a geek."

"You a geek?" Spike asked in disbelief.

"Not the stereotypical nerdy geek, but rather just a nobody," Shining Armor explained, "And Cadence, she was the popular one. But regardless of our different ranks and statuses in school I wanted to be with her. Even if it meant going up against all the jocks and other guys who stood a better chance."

"Whoa." Spike gasped.

"My friends and I pulled out all the stops to try and set us up, even though they all ended in failure and embarrassing outcomes." Shining added.

"So how'd ya get her?" the dragon boy wondered.

"It was our school's Fall Formal Gala. Cadence ended up going with a stallion named Buck Withers, captain of the school's polo team."

"I'm guessing he was the school's big man on campus?" Spike guessed.

"You guessed it. Everyone believed they would be the gala's King and Queen. Well, Cadence was voted Queen in a landslide, and Buck smugly took the King's crown because he won... again. Personally I think he threatened people to vote for him. When I stood up to him and his smug behavior every other student he ridiculed and picked on joined me and taught him a lesson." he chuckled.

"What'd you guys do?" Spike leaned over his bed to listen.

"We hung him from the ceiling by a hook, after Cadence took the crown away from him and crowned me."

"So awesome." Spike gasped.

"Yeah. We've been tight ever since."

"And now look at you, married to your sweetheart and leading a kingdom together." Spike finished.

"Yeah. And yet there's still more ahead in our lives." Shining Armor said.

"I'll bet." Spike agreed.

"And speaking of sweethearts. It's clear you and Twilight have been getting along even better since she started living here."

"You have no idea."

Shining Armor smiled, "Still, I want to thank you. You've been the best thing that's happened to Twilight since she first made friends."

"No problem." Spike replied.

"Spike, I'm now also counting on you to take care of Twily and even the others."

Spike sat up in bed, "You have my word as a dragon I'll do whatever it takes to protect them."

"I know you will." Shining spoke.

A thought then crossed Spike's mind, "Listen, Shining Armor?"

"Yeah, Spike?"

"I was talking to Stone awhile back about a topic of Dragon passion."

"Ah, yes. When a dragon gains a passion for something they dedicate their whole lives too. Have you found yours?"

"I have, and actually, it's girls. I have a huge passion for girls."

"I see."

"I talked to Stone about the matter and he said that dragons when gaining a passion for something usually hoard it like treasure and jewels. But he said in my case I could make a harem of girls."

Shining sighed, "Figures Stone would give you an idea like that."

"And I have been thinking about it, but I haven't even talked to Twilight about it, because I don't know how to really bring it up."

"Yes. Such a topic does sound awkward to discuss." Shining Armor admitted.

"But I'd like to know if Twilight agreed to it, would you be all right with it?"

"Well, Twily is my little sister and I care about her, but if she chooses to accept it then I'd respect her decision."

"You would?" Spike asked.

"Twilight can take care of herself, Spike. Besides if you did something bad, guarantee she'd let you have it."

"I can believe it." Spike feared the idea.

"Well, we better get some sleep. See you in the morning." Shining Armor fell asleep.

"Night." Spike answered, as he fell asleep.

Meanwhile at Sombra and Tirek's lair, the dark unicorn spoke, "With seven elements of harmony and a the dragon king, our enemies forces have increased."

"We'll need to do something to decrease their forces." Tirek said.

"Indeed. And I have a way to solve this."

"How so?"

Sombra pulled out a vial containing a dark blue wispy aura, "With this."

"What is that?" Tirek inquired.

"This is a fragment of Nightmare Moon's essence. Though merely a fragment it contains enough of her very being in it."

"Are you planning on bringing Nightmare Moon back?" the centaur inquired.

"Absolutely not," Sombra answered, "Luna served her purpose. No. Instead I will use it on one of the girls and create a new Nightmare pony. And they will destroy the rest."

"More brainwashing? Chrysalis already failed with that when using Sunset Shimmer." Tirek reminded him.

"Chrysalis was a novice in that field. I am a master. And with my dark magic enhancing this essence it won't be so easy to break free from."

"And who do you have in mind to use that essence on?"

"That is for it to decide." Sombra looked at the essence in the vial that was moving around as if wanting to get out.
