Spike continued to stare at the beautiful unicorn mare named Fleur, until said mare spoke, "Are you all right?"

Spike realizing he was staring awkwardly at her, snapped out of it and spoke, "I'm fine! It's just... I didn't expect a royal guard to be a gorgeous mare."

Fleur giggled, "It's quite all right. I've gotten that reaction many times."

Stone and Shining Armor approached, as the Captain spoke, "I see you've met Fleur, Spike."

"You know each other?" Spike asked curiously.

"Yeah. We were both in the same training class." Shining Armor explained.

"We were two of the top cadets in training, but only Shining was promoted to Captain," Fleur added, "I'm happier with my rank though. Less stress."

"And you're still ahead of most of the royal guards here." Shining noted.

Spike looked at Fleur, "But if you're a royal guard then does that mean..."

"Yes. I was there when you and the girls fought Nightmare Moon, even when you faced Sombra in the Crystal Empire." Fleur confirmed, as she recalled the shadow bolts and umbrum soldiers she fought while taking the occasional glance at the bigger fight between the elements of Harmony and the big bads they were facing.

"So you know how bad ass I was?" Spike asked hopefully.

"Indeed so, you were tres magnifique." Fleur answered.

"Well, thanks. I do have this sense of being a hardcore bad ass." Stone rolled his eyes at Spike's words.

"Really? I would love to see this hardcore bad ass sense you have up close."

"You do?" Spike raised a brow.

Fleur nodded, "Why don't we have a little one on one sparing match. No special tricks. Just good old fashioned hand to hand combat, oui?"

"I'm good with that." Spike admitted.

Flash called out, "Hey, guys. Fleur's about to spar with the Dragon King!" At the sound of that, various guards be they experienced or trainees gathered around to see the spar.

Both Spike and Fleur took positions and got ready to attack when given the signal, "And... Fight!" Stone declared.

Spike and Fleur took off and engaged in combat with Fleur using all her training as a royal guard, while Spike relied on his brute strength and his own reflexes. As they fought Spike thought while dodging Fleur's blows, 'Man, this girl's really got the moves down. No wonder she's one of the best elite guards here.'

As Fleur herself was striking and avoiding Spike's blows, she also had thoughts on her opponent, 'Even without his dragon armor he's still a worthy opponent. And a very cute one too.' she mentally giggled.

The guards were cheering for either one and placing bets to boot. Spike thought he could finish Fleur, but the mare took him by surprise and got Spike in a headlock using her thighs. The two laid on the ground with Fleur keeping her legs wrapped tightly around Spike's head, as the dragon thought, 'Not the best way to wind up in between a girl's thighs, but still this is a hot feeling.'

The guards who placed bets on Spike groaned, while those who bet on Fleur cheered and collected their winnings from the losers. Fleur looked down seeing her captive in between her legs, "Well, how do you like that, King of the Dragons?"

Spike who still had his head locked wheezed, "I like the view very much."

Fleur realized she had Spike's head locked in a position that allowed him to look up her suit of armor making her blush in embarrassment, while the guards realized this and started panting and eyeing the lucky dragon, "Zut alors!" she screamed before using her thighs to throw Spike across the field, planting him headfirst into the ground. Fleur got up and straightened herself out, before walking away in a huff still feeling embarrassed.

Shining, Stone, and Flash went over to Spike who tried pulling his head out of the ground, "You know you deserved that, right?" Shining asked him.

Spike who could hear him spoke with a muffled voice, "Worth it!" he pulled his head out of the ground and looked in the direction Fleur left in, "What a woman!"

"Consider yourself lucky, Spike," Shining continued, "Last guy who did something similar like you did ended up with their legs broken for a month."

"Whoa." Spike gasped seeing Fleur's more bad ass than she let herself be known.

Suddenly Twilight and the rest of the girls arrived, as the alicorn girl spoke, "Hey, guys, everything ok?"

Rarity suddenly took notice of Spike's unkempt look, "Spike, what happened to you?" she gasped.

"Yeah. You look like a mess." Rainbow chuckled.

Twilight frowned, "Were you causing trouble around here?"

"Of course not, Twilight," Spike answered, "I having a spar with one of the guards. And she kicked my ass."

Rainbow looked in disbelief, "Wait a minute. You got your ass handed to you by a mare guard?"

"Yes."

Rainbow suddenly burst into laughter while holding onto Pinkie Pie to keep herself up, "Oh, that's hilarious! I wished I was here to have seen it!"

"And to make it more embarrassing, he got a chance to look at her from underneath her." Flash added, as the girls knew what he meant.

Bonbon however was curious, "Spike, who was this mare you spared with?"

"A hottie of a unicorn named Fleur De Lis."

"You fought Fleur?" Bonbon gasped.

"Yeah. You know her too?" Spike wondered.

"Of course. Fleur was my superior during my Secret Agent training. I owe over half of what I know to her."

"Well, you learned under a very skilled guard." Spike admitted, as he got himself together.

"But did you have to look up her uniform?" Twilight asked with a sigh.

"Hey, she had me in a headlock between her thighs. I can't help the position she had me in!" Spike protested.

"How did it feel?" Vinyl wondered.

"It felt very soft." Spike admitted, as Twilight sighed at her lover's perversion, "So how did the meeting with the Princess go?"

"Very well," Sunset answered, "She said security has been doubled for any intrusion that may occur."

"Let's just hope it won't be as needed." Flash replied.

"You and me both." Shining Armor agreed.

Spike sighed, "Well, so far today's been quite the day. I meet fan ponies, and get my ass handed to me by a sexy mare."

"You're so popular." Pinkie smiled.

"Yeah. Popular." Spike rolled his eyes.

That night, Spike was wandering the castle, while talking to himself, "What a day it's been, huh, Bahamut?"

"Indeed. I did find it rather amusing how that unicorn took you to school as they say." Bahamut laughed.

"Yuck it up, funny dragon." Spike replied with irritation.

"Oh, don't look now but it looks like you got another chance to make peace." Bahamut said.

Spike looked ahead and saw Fleur who was out of her guard armor and wearing a pink translucent nightgown. Spike checked out her beautiful super model figure, and took notice of her F-cup rack, ' he shook it off not wanting to show her that side of him after what happened earlier. He straightened himself up and took a casual approach, "Hey, Fleur!"

Fleur looked over and saw Spike and immediately blushed, "Oh, it's you. Come to ogle me up some more?" she asked with suspicion.

"Look, I'm sorry, but that was an accident brought up in our spar," Spike apologized, "I've never fought a female opponent and wound up in a position like that before. Not when I fought Chrysalis of the Changelings, or Sunset Shimmer when she was She-Demon."

"It's not so much the position we were in that bothers me." Fleur answered.

"Then what is it?" Spike asked wondering why she sounded so upset.

Fleur looked away while hiding the blush on her cheeks, "I just wish you didn't say such crass things to me in front of the trainees."

Spike remembering what he told her, spoke up, "Completely and totally my bad."

Fleur sighed as she faced him, "I shouldn't be surprised since that is what you're known by."

"Yeah, I got that going on for me," Spike chuckled, while rubbing the back of his head, "But out of curiosity, Fleur. How does a nice hot looking mare like yourself wind up working with Canterlot's Royal Guards."

Fleur noticing Spike's curiosity decided to elucidate, "Well, I joined because I wanted to make a difference."

"A difference?" Spike raised a brow.

Fleur nodded, "Growing up I was pampered and given anything a girl wanted. But many others regarded me as this selfish pampered princess girl who could just get anything by using my looks. I didn't want to be labeled as that by others. So I took the initiative and joined the Royal Guards. However our instructor denied me because he thought I didn't have what it takes and that it was a male's job. But Princess Celestia stepped in and allowed it sensing my determination. So then training began. And no matter what the instructor's threw against me I remained strong, because I wanted to prove I wasn't just some pampered rich girl."

Spike thought to himself, 'Reminds me of Ember.'

"Eventually I passed and was admitted into the ranks. As you can see I've become the role model for the trainees." Fleur finished.

"I noticed. I mean you trained one of the best known Secret Agents who's in my harem now."

Fleur turned to Spike curiously, "And who is that?"

"Bonbon."

Fleur was surprised, "So it is true. Sweetie Drops is part of your harem?"

"She is. She and her friend Lyra."

"I see." Fleur said looking forlorn that was noticed by Spike.

"You look as if it's a bad thing."

"I'm just disappointed she chose another harem other than mine."

Spike did a double take at what Fleur said, "Yours? You have a harem?"

"Oui. But unlike yours it's not as big so far, and mine isn't limited to one sex."

Spike's eyes widened, "Wait a minute... Are you bisexual too?"

"Oui-oui. But I don't take just any body into my harem. I'm very particular about who I want in mine."

"Well, I can be very particular who I want in mine too." Spike admitted.

"Yes, I've noticed your choice in women." Fleur hefted her breasts up to entice him.

Spike blushed but shook it off, "So I have a passion for girls with lovely figures. It's in my dragon blood."

Fleur continued, "Sweetie Drops or Bonbon as she's now known as was one of my favorite pupils. She never disappointed me with her work. The more I watched her, the more in love I became with her. I eventually wanted to add her to my harem and even bring along her friend Lyra. But...no, it is not fair! I taught her everything she knows about combat and spying! I would have gladly taught her the ways of love and lovemaking!" she vented.

"I guess she wasn't that into you." Spike suggested.

"But why not?" Fleur complained.

"I wish I had the answer, but I don't."

"Just answer me this, Dragon King. Are you taking care of her?" Fleur got into his face, which started making Spike sweat.

"Yes I am. I take care of all the members of my harem with none of them feeling inferior to any of the others." Spike promised.

Fleur seeing the seriousness in Spike's tone felt relieved, "Good. I'd hate to hear Bonbon had wound up in a harem where's she's treated more like a concubine than a person."

"Well, I assure you none of my harem members are treated as concubines," Spike said, and decided to flirt a little, "Of course if you want to be sure. You can join it and see for yourself." he smirked.

Fleur felt flustered, but smirked, and pulled Spike closer with her magic and wrapped an arm around him, "Tempting, but how about if I make you part of my harem?" she smiled with lust.

Spike gulped at her offer, "Become part of yours?"

"Yes. I did say I was particular about who I add to mine. And you would make such a fitting addition." she batted her eyes.

Spike chuckled nervously, until Fleur giggled and released them, "Keep in mind, Dragon King. I'm not as easily swayed like most girls. You want me in a harem, well, you'll have to really prove your worth to me. But given your track record, you may have a better chance than most men do. Bonne nuit." she winked before taking her leave.

Spike watched in disbelief at the mare before speaking to Bahamut, "Ok, I'm confused. Does she like me or hate me?"

"Women, Spike. You can't always tell what they're feeling." Spike turned and walked away, unaware that Fleur looked back and smiled amusingly at the state she left the dragon boy in.

Later that night in Spike's assigned room, he was laying in bed while thinking about what Fleur said, "Me part of someone's harem? Would that make me a minority since I'm the one with the bigger harem? Oh, so much to process." he sighed, until he heard a knock at his door, "Uh, come in!"

The door opened and stepping in was Rarity and Applejack, "Hey, Sugarcube, you awake?" A.J asked.

"Yeah, I am."

"Oh, good. We didn't want to disturb you in any way." Rarity said, as the two girls climbed into bed to join Spike.

Spike spoke, "I really hope nothing goes wrong with the meeting summit tomorrow. The last thing we need is more problems."

Spike suddenly felt himself embraced from both sides by the two girls, "Let's not think about that right now, Spike." Applejack suggested.

"Yes, darling. Let's just relax and sleep. We'll worry about the summit tomorrow." Rarity whispered into his ear.

Spike started relaxing and answered, "Yeah. You're right. Good night, girls."

"Goodnight, Spike." they fell asleep with Spike holding both of them close.

Meanwhile in Tirek's lair, the centaur was staring out a window and spoke, "Tomorrow is the meeting between various Equestrian delegates. A perfect opportunity to strike them where it hurts. Which is exactly why I called you in, Catrina." he looked back to see his lady cat follower Catrina.

"Yes, Tirek." she answered.

"At this point I feel you are the most trustworthy follower I have available. Grogar has disappointed me with his incompetence, and Garble has allowed himself to be captured." Tirek growled at their failures.

"Rest assured, Tirek. I will not make the same mistake as those two simpletons." Catrina promised.

"I'll hold you to it. Now go." Catrina bowed her head and left Tirek's throne room.

As she walked through the tunnel, she walked past Grogar who was waiting around, "And where are you off to right now, pussycat?"

Catrina frowned and turned to Grogar, "I'm off to prepare for the infiltration of the summit tomorrow."

"Ah, that's right," Grogar remembered, "Are you sure you can handle the job? I mean invading a summit of political figures is no easy task." he smirked.

"I don't need to take any lip from someone benched." Catrina remarked which struck a nerve in Grogar.

"You're lucky we're supposed to be allies otherwise I'd destroy you myself." the goat man warned her.

"But that will put you in worse conditions with Tirek, wouldn't it?" Catrina continued to mock him.

"Just watch yourself. Those children are not to be taken lightly."

"I shall not make the same mistakes as you and Garble did, I assure you." Catrina took her leave, while Grogar brooded on not being able to get in on the action.

As Catrina entered another chamber she called out, "Rep, get out here!" Dropping in from above was a brown bat wearing a little green hat. The bat flew around before glowing and changed shape.

It became a brown anthropomorphic lizard man with the same green hat, and green colored shirt, "What's the word, Catrina?" Rep asked his partner.

"Tirek has given us the go. Tomorrow we crash the Equestria Summit in Canterlot." she explained.

"Oh, boy. I can hardly wait." Rep cheered.

"Enough. Fill up as much witchweed potion you can. We'll need plenty of it for our strike."

"Yes, Catrina." Rep nodded, as he shape shifted into a dragon and flew out an open window.

Catrina smirked, and said to herself, "I'll show Tirek and Grogar that I am capable of defeating those Elements of Harmony and their dragon boy. And then they'll make perfect servants for me." she snickered.
