It was a late evening within the Dragon Kingdom. Goliath, the red dragon was told via secret letter to meet with someone in a dark ally for some important information he really needs to know about. Upon entering, the red dragon saw a dark figure slowly approaching him. “What this all about?” he asked.

“Are you Goliath?” ask ed the figure.

“What of it?”

The dark figure slowly walked into the light; revealing himself. “You have a mate named Amethyst, right?”

“How do you know her, pony?” Goliath growled.

“First off the name’s Stargazer.” he said. “And second, I know her because she’s been in Ponyville with another dragon who lives there. I know her because I overheard her mentioning your name.”

“What are you saying?”

“I’m saying she’s cheating on you with another dragon.” Before Goliath could say anything else, Stargazer handed him an envelope that contained a bunch of pictures. As Goliath looked through, his anger began to boil over.

“I’ll kill him.” he growled.

“Please do.” said Stargazer as he turned to leave. “It’ll save me the trouble.”

“Why would you go to all this trouble?” ask Goliath.

“I have a marefriend back home, she’s a princess and that dragon has been getting too close to her.” Stargazer explained. “And i’ll be DANMMED if i’m gonna let him steal her from me.”

Goliath smiled.

“The Grand Galoping Gala is in three days in Canterlot. He’ll be there with Amethyst no doubt, that’s when you can get him and teach him not to mess with someone’s girl.” Goliath smiled as Stargazer walked off.

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

The giant ball of light that was surrounding Twilight, Cadence, Blueblood, and Shining Armor had disappeared; leaving Twilight in complete and utter shock. “I-it’s.....it’s not true.” she whispered.

“Twilight?” asked Cadence.

“It’s not true.” she said again. “It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true!”

“Twily.” said Shining Armor, causing her to look up at him in tears.

“H-he wouldn’t.....Stargazer wouldn’t do something like that.” Twilight’s gaze turned to Blueblood. “You got it wrong. You probably messed up the spell.”

“Twilight, the spell was designed to project thoughts straight from the deepest parts of the pony’s mind.” Blueblood explained. “There’s no way it to mess it up.”

“NO!” she yelled. “NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! Stargazer wouldn’t......he’d never......”

“Twilight.” Cadence said softly as she placed an arm around her. She could see that Twilight was in complete denial.

“Y-you got it wrong.” Twilight said as she started to cry. “Y-you must have. Stargazer wouldn’t do something like that. He wouldn’t.”

Cadence held Twilight close as she cried; trying to give the poor alicorn some kind of comfort.

“Shining, when can you get your troops together?” Blueblood asked, catching Twilight’s attention.

“W-what are you going to do?”she asked.

“Take him in to custody.” Blueblood answered. “After what we just saw, he’s guilty of conspiracy to commit.”

“Y-you can’t!” she protested. “This has to be a mistake, THIS HAS TO! Please, let me talk to him; i’m sure we can figure this out!”

“There’s nothing to figure out.” Blueblood explained. “He traveled to the Dragon Kingdom and had three of it’s citizens attack Spike with the intent of killing him and because of that, there’s a good chance that we could wind up going to war with them.”

Blueblood, Cadence, and Shining Armor started to notice Twilight’s body trembling uncontrollably.

“This can’t be happening.”Twilight said as she fell to her knees; Cadence wrapping her arms around her.

“Maybe we should hold off on arresting him.” Cadence suggested. “I mean....it’s not like he’s going anywhere anytime soon.”

“Are you serious?!” Blueblood asked in shock.

“I’m not saying we should let him off the hook but maybe we should let Twilight talk to him.”

“Why?! What’s there to talk about?!”

“Blue, please.” Cadence begged. Blueblood looked at Twilight and saw that she was an absolute mess.

“Fine.” he sighed heavily.

“Thanks Blue." Cadence said as she helped Twilight up. “I’ll bring you back to your room, we can sort this out tomorrow, okay?”

Twilight nodded.

As the girls left, Shining Armor and Blueblood were left alone to discuss what to do next. “So what about Goliath and his crew?” asked Shining Armor.

“The Summer Sun Celebration is coming up in a few weeks.” Blueblood explained. “The invitations will be sent out to the Dragon Kingdom soon, so there’s no doubt that Dragon Lord Atomsk will be there along with Amethyst who’ll most likely bring Goliath along with them.”

“So what’s the plan?”

“Get Celestia, Luna, and Atomsk alone in a room somewhere, reveal to them of the situation and hopefully charge Goliath and his goons with attempted murder without starting a war.”

“You’re forgetting something, what about Amethyst?"

"Unfortunately, we can't charge her with anything seeing as how she wasn't involved in the attack.

"If Twilight and the other girls run into her, it could be a disaster. We’ll just have to make sure that they stay away from each other until the event is over.”

“Blueblood nodded. “Agreed.”

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

The next morning, Celestia awoke with Spike in her arms; smiling as he snuggled close to her burying his face in between her breasts. Celestia’s memories kicked in as she remembered how both she and Spike would always sleep together like this. While she laid on her back, Spike would often attempt to climb up on her and lay his head on top her bouncy pillows.

As she looked at the sleeping dragon and saw him squirming around a bit. Thinking he needs some air, she slowly pushed Spike away so he could breathe. Spike slowly opened his eyes and looked up to see Celestia smiling at him.

“Morning sweetie.” she said softly.

“Morning.” he replied.

“Sleep well?”

Spike nodded.

Celestia moved closer to Spike and rested her head on top of his; unintentionally giving him a perfect view of her cleavage. Spike’s eyes widen as those bountiful orbs came closer and closer to his face. He couldn’t move; mostly because he was too mesmerized by what was in front of him. He wanted to see more, he HAD to see more, but there was a problem. This was Celestia, his mother, the pony who raised him, he shouldn’t be thinking about her like this; it was wrong on so many levels but......the sensation was just too great.

Ever since Spike turned 15 he started to noticed his friend’s figures. From their breasts, to their hips, to their butts, and their legs. Spike would often catch himself staring at different parts of their bodies then quickly look away in shame; hoping they wouldn’t noticed. The last thing he wanted was for them to think he was dirty pervert. Over the past year he secretly wanted to do nothing more than fondle and grope his friends, however, using all his will power he pushed those urges aside, even though they weren’t making things easier for him. And there’s just so much he could take.

Celestia slowly raised her head off Spike’s and pulled back a bit. Looking down, she saw Spike with glowing blue eyes.

“Spike!” she gasped.

Spike’s eyes turned back to normal as he looked at her. Celestia’s eyes widen as she came to realize what those glowing eyes meant. She didn’t want to say anything to him about it, and by the looks of it, Spike seem to not realize was happening. “What is it?” he asked.

Celestia exhaled then moved in and kissed him on the forehead. “Nothing sweetie.” she answered. Spike’s eyes started flashing a few times before stopping completely. Both Spike and Celestia laid in bed for a while before finally getting up so they could meet the others for breakfast.

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

Morning turned to early afternoon when Celestia called Luna, Twilight, Starlight and Cadence into her bedroom for a discussion about Spike. “So what’s going on?” asked Cadence.

“Well....” Celestia started, not really sure how to say it. “It’s Spike.”

“Is something wrong?” asked Starlight.

“No no....it’s...well...I think Spike is entering estrus.” she said. All eyes widen with mouths wide open.

“W-w-what?!” Twilight yelled. “B-but I thought dragons enter estrus at 18. Spike’s still........”

“Have you forgotten Twilight, Spike's 18th birthday is fast approaching.” Luna interrupted. “Sister are you sure?”

“Yes.” Celestia answered. “This morning his eyes were glowing, this a clear sign that a dragon’s estrus cycle is approaching.”

“Does Spike know?” asked Twilight.

“I don’t believe so.” Celestia explained. “His eyes were just flickering for a while before they stopped. I want to talk to him about it, but I don’t want to alarm him.”

“That’s understandable.” said Luna. “When dragons go into estrus they can become pretty forceful and I doubt Spike would want to know that.”

“So what should we do?” asked Starlight.

“Well if I remember right, unlike mares who go into estrus at the beginning of the week, dragons have to be triggered into it. A hug, a kiss, pretty much anything could possibly set them off if you’re not careful.”

“Sister was there any kind of action you might have done that caused it?” asked Luna.

“No.” Celestia answered. “When we woke up I held him for a while when I pulled back his eyes were glowing.”

“Then it would appear that until his estrus passes, we should all avoid doing things that might trigger him.” Luna said while turning her gaze towards Twilight and Starlight. Twilight knew why Luna was looking at her, it was because their slumber party was coming up next week and Twilight had already told the girls Spike was going to attend. Luna then turned her gaze towards her sister. “And that means he can’t join us in the bathhouse.”

Celestia gasped as her eyes widen in shock. “W-what about......” Celestia started.

“Sorry sister, but that also means no more sharing the bed with him at night.” Luna stated. Celestia felt her heart breaking a bit as her sister’s words settled in. Not only would she NOT be allowed to take baths with her baby until his estrus passes, but she also can’t sleep with him at night. This wasn’t fair. Spike is HER son, HER baby, and now she feels like she can’t be anywhere near him as if she was some kind of child predator or something. Luna saw tears starting to form in her sister’s eyes and tried to give her some comforting words. “Don’t worry sister, it’ll just be for a week.” she said.

“Um, actually.” Cadence jumped in. “A dragon’s estrus lasts a bit longer than a week.”

“H-how long?” Celestia asked, afraid to hear the answer.

“The entirety of summer.” she answered.

No words came from Celestia as she fell to her knees and started crying. Well....it wasn’t so much crying as it was throwing a tantrum. Honestly, it pretty much embarrassing.

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

It was now mid afternoon and the entire royal family were at the train station preparing to see Spike, Starlight, and Twilight off. Before they could say their goodbyes however, they first had to somehow pry Celestia away from Spike; seeing as how she had him in a very tight embrace. It took all of their strength, but Shining Armor, Blueblood, and Luna managed to separate the two. While that was going on, Cadence and Twilight were have a quick conversation of their own. “So what are you going to do when you get back to Ponyville?” Cadence asked.

“I-I don’t know.” Twilight answered. “I guess i’ll wait until Stargazer’s well enough before I ask him if what he did was true.”

“Twilight, you saw it. You saw what he did.”

“I still want to talk to him.”

“Twi, if you confront him on the matter, he’ll just deny it.” Twilight said nothing as she saw Starlight helping Spike onto the train.

“I...I have to go.” Twilight began making her way inside the train; ignoring Cadence calling her. Looking back at everypony, she waved goodbye as the door closed and the train started to make it’s journey to Ponyville.

Twilight stared out the window as her mind wondered. She thought about what she had witnessed last night; with Stargazer trying to get Spike killed because he was close to her. Sure, Stargazer could get a little jealous at times but to go this far? No, there’s no way he could ever do something so....so horrible. These thoughts plagued Twilight’s mind all the way to Ponyville where she saw Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie waiting for them.

The three mares immediately went over to Spike and embraced him. “So, Applejack and Rainbow Dash couldn’t make it?” asked Starlight.

“Granny Smith is having them rebuild the barn.” Pinkie explained with a giggle.

“What happened to the barn?” asked Spike.

“During Estrus Week Rainbow and Applejack banged each other so hard they destroyed the barn.” Pinkie answered with uncontrollable giggling. “You should have seen it Spike, it was as if a twister hit it. It’s nothing but a pile of rubble.”

“PINKIE!” yelled Rarity as she covered Spike’s ears.

“What?” she asked. Starlight laughed while Fluttershy looked away embarrassed for some reason. Twilight didn’t pay much attention to what was going on. Her mind was still on what Stargazer had possibly done. Without talking to anypony, she started to walk off. Starlight called to her but she was too far gone within her own mind that she didn’t hear her.

Twilight managed to walk a few feet from the station before Starlight put her hand on her shoulder. “You okay Twi?” she asked. “You’ve been acting kinda weird since this morning.”

“Of course I am.” Twilight answered.

Starlight looked Twilight in the eye and could tell she was lying. She wasn’t doing alright, and Starlight knew that if Twilight doesn’t talk about it, she’ll wind up working herself into a frenzy. “You’re not okay Twilight.” said Starlight. “What’s really going on?”

Twilight knew Starlight wasn’t going to leave her alone so she told her everything. She told Starlight about the conversation she had with Blueblood and Cadence the night after Spike’s party at Sugar Cube Corner. About how they suspected that Spike was setup to be attacked at the Grand Galloping Gala and that last night it was revealed to her that Stargazer was the one who did it.

Hearing this news caused Starlight’s anger to rise. “That son of a bitch.” she said.

“Starlight wait.” said Twilight. “I’ll handle it. I’ll talk to him.”

“Talk to him?!” Starlight said in shock. “About what?!”

“Starlight please, let me handle it.” Twilight pleaded. Starlight stared at Twilight before sighing heavily.

“Fine, but i’m telling everypony else.”

“Please, don’t tell Spike.” she begged. “I...I don’t want him to know. He’s been through enough already.”

Starlight agreed to not tell Spike that he was setup. Twilight thanked Starlight and began to walk off. “You’re going to see him aren’t you?”

Twilight stopped, turned back to look at Starlight and nodded before continuing to make her way to the hospital.

“I hope you know what you’re doing Twi.” Starlight thought.

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

Twilight found herself staring at the door to Stargazer’s room. After a few minutes, she finally walked in. Stargazer was lying in bed still in that body cast. He appeared to be asleep. Twilight grabbed a chair, went to his bedside, and sat next to him. She remained there for a while until Stargazer’s eyes slowly opened.

“Hey you.” he said as he saw Twilight looking at him.

Twilight gave him a soft smile before speaking. “Hey you.”

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

Four days have passed and with some unauthorized healing magic, Stargazer was well enough to be removed from his body cast. The doctors wanted him to remain in the hospital so they could run some more test on him. Stargazer hated being cooped up in his room. He much rather be with Twilight getting some sweet sweet lovin’. But that "lovin’" is what got him put here in the first place. Speaking of Twilight, she sent him a text message saying that she was on the way and he just couldn’t wait.

For the past four days, Twilight has be spending time with him while he recovered and less time with Spike. Which is something he really wanted. Twilight was HIS mare and nopony else's.

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

Twilight was making her way towards the hospital when she was confronted by Starlight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. They were not happy at all.

“Is it true?” asked Rarity. “Did he really set Spike up?”

“I...I don’t know.” Twilight said softly.

“You don’t know?!” asked a very angry Rainbow Dash. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T KNOW?! BLUEBLOOD SHOWED YOU WHAT HAPPENED DIDN’T HE?!”

Applejack grabbed her marefriend in an attempt to keep her from flying off and doing something completely stupid.

“He...he did, but.....”

“BUT WHAT?! YOU DON’T BELIEVE IT?!”

“That’s why i’m on my way to the hospital right now.” Twilight explained. “To confirm if what I saw was accurate.”

“But Twilight, what makes you think he’ll tell the truth?” asked Fluttershy.

“Let me worry about that.” she said. “Now if you girls will please excuse me.”

Twilight continued walking towards the hospital; ignoring the girls calling her name.

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

It didn’t take long for Twilight to make it to her destination. Once inside she saw Pinkie Pie going into the room that held Dizzy Dazzle. Twilight peeked in and saw the two embracing. Not wanting to disturb them, she continued down the hall until she made to Stargazer’s room. “Hey you.” she said cheerfully. “Doing any better?”

“I am now.” he answered.

Twilight pulled up a chair and kissed Stargazer in the forehead. “At least one of us is.”

“Is something wrong?”

Twilight’s face turned serious. “Well, Blueblood and my brother called me yesterday and said that they believe that Spike was setup for the attack. That somepony knew about Amethyst and used that information as a way to try and get Spike killed.”

Stargazer started choking on the glass of water he was drinking. “D-d-d-did they find out who it was?”

“No, but they have a suspicion who it could be, though.”

Stargazer’s eyes widen as he looked the other way. His face became pale and his body started shaking slightly. His mind was wondering if they knew it was him who ratted out to Goliath about Spike and Amethyst, but he started to calm down a bit once he realized that if they had found out, they would have arrested him by now. So he was safe.

“Are you okay?” asked Twilight. “You’re shaking.”

“Huh what of course i’m okay.” he said looking back at her.

“You sure?”

“Yeah yeah i’m sure.” he said nervously. “So....did they say anything else about this suspicion of theirs?”

“No, but they do have one of the dragons in custody right now.” she said.

“T-t-t-t-t-t-they do?”

Twilight nodded. Stargazer’s face went even more pale to the point that he began to sweat.

“Star, you don’t look so good.” said a concern Twilight. “Are you sure you’re okay? You’ve been pretty tense since we this conversation started. Do you know something about this?”

“What? No no no I don’t know anything about meeting a dragon in a dark alley.”

“W-what?” Twilight gasped.

“Oh shit.” Stargazer thought. “Nothing Twi, just said something completely random. I guess it’s the medicine messing with my head.” Stargazer let out a nervous laugh hoping Twilight would forget that statement he made.

“I see.” Twilight said. “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“Are you sure you don’t know anything, anything at all that could help Blueblood and my brother?”

“Twi, babe, trust me when I say i’m sure. I haven’t seen nor heard anything strange.”

“Stargazer.” Twilight said softly as she moved closer to him. “You fucking lying bastard.”

Stargazer’s eyes widen as Twilight moved back from him. Looking into her eyes he saw nothing but pain and anger. “T-Twi, I don’t......”

“Out of the five years we’ve been together, i’ve noticed that everytime you lie your nose flares uncontrollably, and it’s been doing that all this time. Plus, you gave yourself away with that statement of yours. I didn’t want to believe it when Blueblood showed me your memory of meeting Goliath. I didn’t want to believe you could do something so....so....evil.”

Stargazer couldn’t say anything as he looked at Twilight in shock. “I just want to know....why?” she said as tears started to form. “Why would you do something like this?”

Stargazer slowly moved into a sitting position; not taking his eyes of Twilight. He realized there was no way out of this. Sure he could make up some kind of story or something but then she could instantly tell he was lying right to her. Swallowing hard, he came clean. “Twilight, I did it for us.”

“What the Tartarus are you talking about?” she asked as her anger started to rise.

“Twilight, ever since we started dating, I could see how that dragon looks at you. His eyes says it all: "I want her, I have to have her” it was written all over his face.

“Lots of stallions stare at me Stargazer. You gonna try have them killed too?”

“What no! But they don’t look at you like he does. You and I both know how greedy dragons are, if they want something they’ll take it. It doesn’t matter how they get it just so long as they get it. Dragons don’t care about anyone but themselves.”

“You’re wrong! Spike isn’t like that!”

“Then why is it that he always hangs around YOU and the other girls all the time, despite the fact that you all have someponies. Why can’t he just go live with his OWN family, with HIS OWN KIND?!”

*SLAP*

Twilight’s hand came in contact with Stargazer’s face so hard, the sound echoed throughout the room. Twilight was furious that her Coltfriend just said that Spike should be with his own kind, despite the fact that he already knew the truth about Spike’s biological parents. Stargazer placed his hand over his cheek and slowly looked back at Twilight in shock. He couldn’t believe it, she slapped him, and not in a playful way, she honestly slapped him.

Twilight was so angry that tears started to flow furiously down her face. “You tried to kill him.” she growled. “He did nothing to harm our relationship and you tried to have him killed.”

“Dammit Twilight, it was only a matter of time before he eventually DID something that would harm our future together, like recruit you into his little dragon cult, or harem, or whatever it is they call it.”

Twilight slowly got from her chair. “We don’t have a future.” she said in disgust. “You tried to have one of my closest friends......no, my brother, killed because of some BULLSHIT reason you came up with. I don’t want anything to do with you.”

“T-Twilight you can’t mean that.” Stargazer said as he tried to reach out and grab her hand.

“Don’t you FUCKING TOUCH ME!” she screamed as she jerked away from him; leavening him in shock once again. Twilight slowly walked over to the door and opened it; revealing Shining Armor and a couple guards.

“W-what is this?” Stargazer asked.

“You’re under arrest.” Shining Armor stated. One of the guards went over to Stargazer, grabbed his arm and handcuffed him to the bed.

“So that’s it Twilight?” Stargazer said. “After five years you’re just gonna ended like this? You’re really gonna choose that LIZARD over me?!”

Shining Armor was about to say something but Twilight stopped him. Slowly turning around, she faced Stargazer for the last time. “That “lizard” is is more of a stallion than you’ll ever be.” And with that Twilight left the room; leaving her now ex-coltfriend with her brother.

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

Once in the hallway, Twilight looked up and saw Pinkie Pie standing in front of her. It was clear from the expression on her face that Pinkie heard what was going from Shining Armor. No words were said between the two girls. Pinkie just softly smiled and held out her arms. Twilight lunged herself in her friend’s embrace and cried harder than she ever did in her life.
