The Grand Galloping Gala, a yearly event that takes place in Canterlot. Ponies from all over Equestria gather here for one special night. Some looking to get their business started, others looking to mingle and have a good time, and the rest look for love. The Grand Galloping Gala is a night that nopony would ever forget, except for a certain dragon named Spike.

It happened so fast; he didn’t see it coming. One minute he was standing outside in the royal garden with his date, a light purple dragoness whom he’s been dating for a couple months named, Amethyst, and the next minute he was on the ground with parts of his clothes torn, huge bruises all over his body and bleeding, and Amethyst was nowhere to be found. He laid there for a while; unable to move due the fact that every time he tried to get up, the pain he would feel would cause him to stop and groan. His vision was getting blurry and he starting to lose consciousness, on top of that it started to rain as; as if the universe itself was mocking him.

“W-why” was the only thought that ran through his head as he laid there as the rain managed to wash most of the blood away.

In his weakened state he managed to say one word. “H-help.” But it was so low that nopony could possibly hear it. He started thinking about his friends and if they would find him. Probably not. They all have coltfriends now, they’re probably dancing, singing or most likely on a special night like tonight, they’re each in their special rooms making love to their coltfriends right now. As his vision and hearing were about to shut down and he was about to fall into a sleep that he was afraid he wouldn’t wake up from, two figures came running to him. One male the other female. The female was screaming Spike’s name over and over; it sounded like she was crying hysterically, and the male was yelled something, but Spike couldn’t make out what it was. He couldn’t even see who it was that found him, but he was glad they did as he finally lost consciousness.

****************************

Inside the castle in one of the guest rooms, Princess Twilight Sparkle and her coltfriend, a light blue, orange mane unicorn named Stargazer, had just finished their fourth round of kinky sex and were now cuddling one another covered in sweat and satisfaction.

“T-Twi?”

“Y-yeah, my love?”

“That...was...awesome.”

“Mmmm.” Twilight said as she snuggled him closer smashing her large round DD cup breasts against his chest causing him to have a big goofy smile on his face.

Unfortunately, this moment wasn’t to last as somepony began banging on their door. “TWILIGHT, GET UP!” yelled a female voice.

“Who’s that?” groaned Stargazer.

“I think that’s Pinkie Pie.”

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* “TWILIGHT, PLEASEEEEEEEE!”

Twilight quickly rose up, her breasts jiggling as she did so. She recognized that tone of voice Pinkie was using, she was crying. Much to Stargazer’s dismay, Twilight got out of bed, put her on her robe and answered the door; where she was confronted by Pinkie Pie who was in the arms of her coltfriend, a yellow, brown mane earth pony named Dizzy Dazzle, crying her eyes out.

“Pinkie what’s wrong?!”

“Oh Twilight, it’s Spike.” she said. “Spike was brutally attacked, they’re taking him to the hospital!”

Twilight’s eyes widen, and her pupils shrank to almost microscopic. “W-WHAT?!”

****************************

At the hospital, the royal family and the rest of the mane 6 along with their coltfriends were in the waiting room waiting for the doctor to tell them Spike’s current condition. Twilight came running into the room yelling Spike’s name catching everypony’s attention. Princess Celestia was the first to confront Twilight, and pull her into a strong embrace.

“Celestia, what happened?!” she asked as she started crying.

“I...I don’t know.” she answered. “Cadence and Shining Armor were the ones who found him and BlueBlood made sure he got here.”

Twilight looked over at her brother and sister-in-law and saw that Cadence’s pink gala dress had blood over it. “I-is...is that his...BLOOD!?” Twilight screamed as she began crying and holding on to Celestia harder. Pinkie Pie’s naturally bouncy mane and tail deflated. Dizzy quickly held her as she too started to cry alongside Twilight and the other girls. The group waited for what felt like hours before the doctor came into the room catching all of their eyes.

“Doctor, how is he?” asked Celestia as everypony braced themselves for the answer.

“Well.....his X-rays show that his ribs are broken, he has a an injury to his spine, and a slight head injury. We may need to use an MRI scan for further details, but to tell you the truth, I’m surprised he’s even alive right now, whoever did this to him must really wanted him to suffer.”

After the doctor finished his explaining, he looked up and saw the look of despair on all their faces. From Fluttershy shaking uncontrollably, to Twilight borderline hyperventilating with Stargazer rocking her; trying to get her to calm down.

“I...I...I want to see him.” said Twilight.

“Princess, I don’t think......”

“I want to see him!” she nearly yelled. Not wanting to be in a argument with one of the princesses of Equestria, he nodded and led everypony to Spike’s room. Twilight and her friends were the first ones to walk in; what they saw both shocked and broke their hearts. There was Spike, laying in the bed with bandages wrapped around his head and a black eye on his left eye. Though they couldn’t see it but under the sheets, he had bandages around where his rib cage was located. Twilight walked over to the left side of Spike’s bed, wrapped her arms around Spike’s head, and held him as she cried. The other girls soon followed suit. After a while the royal family walked in the room. While Cadence was held by Shining Armor with a river of tears streaming down her face, Celestia, Luna, and Blueblood’s anger went through the roof, Luna fighting back her tears as Celestia was just letting hers flow.

“W-who did this?” Twilight whispered.

“I can find out.” BlueBlood stated as he walked over to the left side of Spike’s bed and placed his hand on his head.

“Blue, what are you doing?” asked Cadence.

“A new spell I perfected.” he explained. “I’m gonna project Spike’s memories and find out who did this to him.” Before Anypony could say anything, a bright light covered the entire room and they all found themselves as astral projections floating over the royal garden. And there was Spike and Amethyst.

****************************

Spike and Amethyst walked through the garden holding claws. Spike showed her all of the beautiful plants and flowers as well as Celestia’s golden apple tree. Spike couldn't help but noticed how beautiful she looked. Her scales practically glowed with a white dress she had on. Not to mention the amount of cleavage she showed off with her round F cup breasts. Spike snapped of his ogling hoping she she didn’t catch him, but her giggling showed that she did.

As they walked into the clearing, they looked up at the night sky that Luna created. The stars and the moon shown bright lighting up the land below. It truly was a romantic sight. Spike looked over at Amethyst and she looked back at him. Their eyes told it all. She wrapped her arms around Spike’s chest and her wrapped his around her waist. Their faces getting closer and closer until they could feels each other's hot breath on one another’s lips. This was it, out of the couple months that they were dating, they were finally going to share their first kiss.

Their lips were only inches away from each other, inches from pure bliss...........

“WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!” yelled a male voice.

Spike and Amethyst stopped what they were doing and looked over to where that voice came from. It was a red dragon, whose anger was boiling over. Spike quickly pulled Amethyst behind him in order to protect her.

“Who are you?” Spike asked. The red dragon said nothing and started cracking his knuckles, preparing for a fight.

“Amethyst go.” he said.

“But Spike.”

“Go!”

Before anything else happened, an orange dragon landed behind the two and grabbed Amethyst, pulling her away from Spike while a blue dragon landed holding a steel object. With one swing, the blue dragon hit Spike in the back as hard as he could causing Spike to yell out in pain. Seeing this chance, the red dragon punched Spike in the stomach, then gave him a strong uppercut that sent Spike staggering backwards a bit before he was hit in the head with the steel object sending him to the ground.

“You’ve got some nerve trying to take another dragon’s mate.” said the red dragon.

“W-what?” Spike said weakly but was answered with a series of kicks to the side and face.

“GOLIATH, STOP!” yelled Amethyst. “YOU’VE GOT IT WRONG!”

“What are you talking about?!” he asked.

Amethyst broke free from the blue dragon's grip and ran over to Goliath. “You were always going off and hanging out with your friends and hardly ever spend time around with me. I only went out with this dragon because I was trying to make you jealous. I thought maybe if you saw me with someone else maybe you would learn to appreciate me more. I was only using him.”

“A-Amethyst.” he said in shock. “You....really mean it? You aren’t in love with this dragon?”

“He’s just a wingless dragon, he means nothing to me.” she said. “I love you.”

Spike’s eyes widen as he heard Amethyst’s confession. His heart was shattered once he saw Amethyst and Goliath embracing and kissing right in front of his broken body, as if he wasn’t even there. As they were about to fly off, the blue dragon spoke up. “So, what do we do with him?”

“Leave him there, I’m sure they’ll find him when they need to take out the trash.” All the dragons laughed as they took of into the sky. Amethyst took one last look at Spike and with no remorse on her face said only one word before flying off with her lover.

“Sorry.”

****************************

The Spell ended and the room was dead silent. The ponies were shocked beyond words, except for Twilight who gritted her teeth and said in a soft whisper. “I’ll kill her.” Hearing that caught the attention of Celestia, Shining Armor, and Stargazer.

“Twilight?” asked Celestia.

“I’ll kill her.” Twilight said again, louder this time. “I’ll kill her, I’ll kill her, I’ll kill her, I’ll kill her, I’LL FUCKING KILL HER!”

Twilight started for the door but was stopped by her brother who grabbed her. “LET ME GO! I’LL KILL THAT BITCH!”

“TWILY, STOP!”

“GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OF ME!” she screamed and she pushed her brother against the wall making a huge dent in it as Stargazer grabbed Twilight from behind. Cadence watched in horror as she saw Shining Armor being thrown like that. Suddenly out of nowhere, a loud hysterical scream filled the room. “THAT BITCH!" Most of the eyes turned to see Rarity fighting off her coltfriend, a white, red mane unicorn named Pearl Haze. Rarity and Pearl both fell to the floor with Pearl struggling to hold Rarity down as her hysterical screaming got louder. “GET OFF ME! SHE’S A DEAD DRAGON!”

Big Macintosh, Applejack’s older brother and Fluttershy’s Coltfriend simply grabbed Fluttershy and his sister and held them tight making sure they didn’t go crazy like Twilight and Rarity were, though in his eyes they had every right to.

Celestia and Luna went to help Stargazer with Twilight, while BlueBlood went to help Cadance with Shining Armor.

Suddenly.

*CRASH* *BOOOOOM*

“What was that?” asked Luna.

It was so fast, Rainbow Dash crashed through the window, shattering it and took off into the sky in an attempt to go after Amethyst. Luna spread her wings and flew out after her. Pinkie just stood there in the arms of Dizzy in shock at both what she saw in Spike’s memories and the scene that was displayed right in front of her.

Twilight broke free from Stargazer, and wound up right into the arms of Celestia who she began to fight off too. “I’LL KILL HER, I’LL KILL HER, I’LL KILL HER!”

“TWILIGHT THAT’S ENOUGH!”

Twilight swung at Celestia, but thankfully she caught it. Celestia grabbed Twilight’s other arm in order to prevent her from using it. “Twilight, please calm down and listen!” Celestia pleaded. “Do you really think that Spike would want you to take a life in his name?”

“But look what she did to him.”

“I know sweetie, I know, but right now the best thing you can do is stay here with Spike. When he wake up he’s going to need you, all of you, now more than ever.” Celestia’s words managed to calm down both Twilight and Rarity a bit though the anger and hatred still lingered. Celestia slowly let Twilight go and Stargazer pulled her into a tight embrace just as Pearl Haze helped Rarity up off the ground. As Twilight was being held, her gaze was toward Spike. “You’re a good dragon Spike, you didn’t deserve this.”
