Spike awoke the next morning to find that he wasn’t the only one in bed, he had two beautiful mares sleeping next to him. On his left was Twilight, who had her face buried in his neck with her arm wrapped around his chest. And on his right was, Starlight Glimmer, with her head resting on his shoulder and her arm around his waist.

Starlight wasn’t able to attend the Grand Gallopping Gala due to the fact that her father was slightly injured in an accident and she went to check on both him and her mother. She only found out about Spike due to a phone call she received from Twilight. When she made it back to Ponyville, her reaction was the same as Twilight’s and Rarity. Thankfully, Spike was already fast asleep so he didn’t get to see that ordeal.

The two mares stirred around for a bit before slowly waking up. Twilight and Starlight gave Spike a kiss on his cheek as a way of saying good morning. “You’re not in any pain are you?” asked Twilight.

Spike shook his head no and received another kiss on the cheek from Twilight.

“Spike, i’m so sorry for what happened.” Starlight spoke up. “I...I should have been there.”

“Starlight, you couldn’t have known what Am.....

“Don’t say that name!” Twilight interrupted on the verge of tears. “Don’t say that bitch’s name ever again in this castle.” Twilight snuggled even closer to Spike in an attempt to calm herself down. Spike could see that she was still upset about what happened and wanted to change the subject but said nothing and just allowed Twilight to continue snuggling against him.

The trio laid there for a bit when Twilight’s cell phone started ringing. She levitated the device over to her and saw that it was Pinkie Pie calling.

“Hey Pinkie......yeah he’s awake.......he’s doing good, no signs of pain yet.......okay I’ll tell him.”

“What she say?” asked Spike.

“Pinkie said that you’re not allowed to eat or drink anything instead of water until this later this afternoon when your party starts.”

“What? Why?”

“You’ll see when you get there.” Twilight said with a giggle.

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

It was early afternoon, Spike, Starlight, and Twilight all left the friendship castle with Twilight pushing a “weaken” Spike in his wheelchair.

“Hungry.” he moaned.

“Come on Spike, just a little longer.” giggled Starlight.

“Soooooo hungry.”

The trio traveled through Ponyville until they reached Sugar Cube Corner. The first thing they noticed was a newly built wheelchair ramp; obviously made by Big Macintosh and Applejack earlier that morning. Going up the ramp, the trio entered the building and were greeted by Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Big Macintosh, Mr. and Mrs Cake, the Royal Family, Octavia, Vinyl Scratch aka DJ Pon3, the CMC, and the coltfriends. The CMC wasted no time and lunged themselves all over Spike giving him hug and kisses, much to the annoyance of two of their coltfriends. Sweetie Belle’s coltfriend, Button Mash, walked up to Spike and gave him a fist bump. Spike’s next wave of hugs and kisses came from Mrs. Cake, Octavia, and Vinyl who were extremely happy to see that he was doing alright considering what happened in all.

Spike was brought into the next room where his eyes almost popped from their sockets when he saw a large table filled with all kinds of freshly made foods; some of which were covered in gemstones. Spike’s stomach started to grumble at an alarming rate. “Must.....feed.....hunger.” he said as if he was in a trance. Spike grabbed hold of his wheelchair and began to stand up despite the fact that he couldn’t walk and started to feel major pain from his back, but he didn’t care; his hunger was too much, he need to eat. Before he could attempt to make one step, there was a loud gasp from Twilight and Celestia. “SPIKE NO!" The two princesses yelled as they grabbed Spike and sat him back down.

“Must.....feed.....hunger.”

“Okay okay, just don’t do that again.” Celestia said as she hugged him and started to calm down.

Celestia pushed Spike over to the table where he wasted no time and grabbed the first piece of food he got his claws on. Spike started to devour the piece of food like a rabid animal earning a small chuckle from Celestia.

“Alright everypony, LET’S PARTY” yelled Pinkie. Vinyl went over to her turn table and started playing three of her most famous tracks. The ponies began dancing on the floor while Spike continued to stuff his face. Looking over, he saw a large plate of Mr. Cake’s steaming hot, award winning, cheese stuffed pretzels next to a bowl of his famous marinara sauce. Spike’s mouth turned into a waterfall upon that sight, so of course, he dug in.

About 45 minutes later, the lights dimmed and the song Vinyl was playing changed from a fast pace, to a slow dance one; catching Spike’s attention. As he turned his wheelchair around, the first thing he saw was Applejack and Rainbow Dash partnering up for the dance. Spike smiled as he saw them and couldn’t believe that it had been two years since the two girls finally came out and he couldn’t be happier for them. His gaze slowly turned to the others on the dance floor and saw how closely they were holding their coltfriends as they danced. From his friends, to the CMC, to Shining Armor and Cadence, and finally to Mr. and Mrs. Cake, love was in the air.

Love that Spike thought he had but was cruelly taken away from him.

Spike’s smile turned into sadness as his mind went into thoughts of Amethyst. A dragoness who he thought cared about him, a dragoness who broke his heart in more ways than one. However, despite the fact that the scene in front of him was reminding him of a love he lost and will probably never have, despite the fact that he was hurting deep inside, Spike didn’t want his friends to feel bad and stop spending time with their coltfriends, so he simply grabbed a small plate of food, rolled away to the other side of the room and watched them from afar.

Cadence and Shining Armor were enjoying the dance, when Cadence’s eyes suddenly shot open with a gasp. “Caddie, what it is?” Shining Armor asked concerned.

Cadence looked up at her lover with tears in her eyes. “It’s Spike.” she said. “I can feel his sorrow. He’s hurting but he doesn’t want to show it.” Cadence buried her face on Shining Armor’s chest as the memories of when they found Spike a beaten and bloody mess replayed in her head. “I...if I ever see her again.....I.....I.....I don’t know what I’ll do.”

Shining Armor held Cadence tight; rubbing his hand up and down her back as he heard her soft sniffles. “Hey, what do you say we go over and keep him company.” he said in a soft voice. Cadence simply nodded as the two left the dance floor.

Over with Twilight and Stargazer, the two lovers slow danced until the the song came to an end and a new one began. Twilight pulled away from him in order to look him in the eyes with love in hers. The two closed in for a kiss which quickly turned a bit more passionate; with their tongues wrapping around one another.Twilight released a soft moan once she felt Star’s hands grope her perfectly round butt.

“What do you say we go somewhere.....a bit more private.” Stargazer suggested in a mischievous tone.

Twilight nodded with her lidded lustful eyes and they began to make their way off the dance floor and up the stairs without anypony noticing...well except for Spike who watched them as they passed by. As they started walking up the stairs, Stargazer looked behind him and saw that Spike was watching them. Seeing this as a way to rub it in his face, Stargazer started groping Twilight’s butt and gave Spike a taunting smile as a way to make him feel bad that this is something that he’ll never get to experience, but Spike simply turned the other way and shrugged it off.

“Better make sure he has protection Twilight.” he thought as he smile; feeling happy for Twilight as it was clear that she found her special somepony.

Spike was shaken from his thoughts as he heard Cadence call out to him. Looking over, Spike found himself in Cadence’s strong embrace; her tears still flowing. It only took Spike two seconds to realize why she was holding him crying, she’s the Princess of Love, not only could she sense those who are in love, but also those who may have had their hearts broken because they fell in love. There was no hiding from her, eventually, she’ll find out. Shining Armor walked over to Spike’s side and gave him a soft noogie on his head. Celestia noticed Cadence holding Spike and walked over; hoping everything was alright. Cadence revealed to Celestia what was going on with Spike and without giving him a chance to say anything, Celestia wrapped her arms around him also. Spike was once again in the warm embrace of two beautiful mares, not that he was complaining.

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

Twilight and Stargazer were in one of the guest rooms with Twilight on her back and Stargazer on top of her. The two were in a full make out session.Twilight’s soft moans intensified as Stargazer ran his hand up her shirt and cupped her right breast; forcefully squeezing and rubbing it over and over while grinding against her. Slowly moving her hands to his chest,Twilight pushed Stargazer away from her; breaking the kiss.

“W-wait.” she said breathing heavily. “W-we’re gonna have to....make this quick....they’ll notice if we’re....gone to long.”

Stargazer sighed. “Okay fine, but you know I don’t like quickies all that much.” Twilight giggled and she started to sit up and get of bed.

“By the way.” she wondered. “You do have it don’t you?”

“Have what?”

“Y-you know.” she started to blush. “P-protection.” The two of them have been together for almost five years and been having sex for almost four, and Twilight was still a bit embarrassed about asking that question.

“Of course I have it Twi.” Stargazer chuckled. “You would never let me have sex with you if I didn’t, right?”

“Got that right.” she laughed. Twilight turned with her back facing him and slow and sexually bent over. She reached under her skirt and slowly pulled down her red panties; all while looking back at her lover with sexually lidded eyes and smile; making the bulge in Stargazer’s pants bigger and harder.

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

Downstairs, Vinyl quit playing the slow dance music and went back to her usual fast pace one. At that point, Big Macintosh came from the kitchen with a giant barrel of the Apple Family’s famous apple cider. “Okay everypony, who wants a cup?” asked Pinkie.

“I do, I do!” Spike said with excitement. Pinkie poured a cup full, but before she could give it to Spike, Celestia screamed.

“SPIKE NO!”

Celestia took the cup away from Pinkie. “You’re not old enough mister.”

“But, I turn 18 in a couple months, it should be okay, right?”

“No, you’re still underage.” she said. “Wait until you turn 18, then we’ll talk.”

Spike lowered his head in defeat. No matter how hard you try, you can’t beat Celestia in an argument.

“Welp, more for me.” Pinkie said as she took a sip.

“Um, Pinkie?” Dizzy spoke up. “Maybe you shouldn’t be drinking, remember what happened last time?”

“Oh come on babe, the mayor’s arm healed, Cheerilee sees perfectly out of her right eye, all of the Apple Family’s orchards grew back, and Manehatten didn’t suffer an economic collapse, what’s the problem?”

“EVERYTHING!” yelled everypony.

Applejack grabbed Pinkie’s cup and gave it Rainbow Dash. “Yer, cut off Pinkie.”

Everypony shared a quick laugh and returned to enjoying themselves. With a little help from Cadence and Starlight, Spike got out of his wheelchair and onto a bench next to the wall with both mares by his side. Spike was a bit upset that he couldn’t at least have a small sip of cider, but at least he could continue chowing down on some Mr. Cake’s cheese stuffed pretzels. Starlight, looked around and noticed that something was missing, or rather, somepony.

“Hey, where’d Twilight go?” she asked.

That question caused Spike to start choking on his food a bit. Both mares immediately tended to him by hitting on the back and giving him water. “Slow down Spike.” said Starlight. “I know it’s delicious but you shouldn’t eat so fast.”

“Y-yeah.” he said.

Starlight looked up at Cadence and saw that her face was bright red. She appeared to be blushing profusely.

“Cadence, is something wrong?” she asked. “You’re face is red.”

“No nothing.” she quickly answered with a nervous laugh. “Nothing wrong at all. Why would you think that?”

Starlight just looked at her confused as to why she was suddenly acting like that. Spike just stared down at the floor. He knew what was wrong with Cadence. She was sensing what was going on with Twilight and Stargazer right above their heads.

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

Upstairs in the guest room, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the bed violently shaking and two lovers panting. Twilight was once again on her back with her skirt lifted and her legs spread trying her hardest not to moan out loud as Stargazer was on top of her pounding away at full force. Since this was a quickie they kept most of their clothes on, but that didn’t stop them from enjoying themselves. Stargazer’s eyes traveled from Twilight 's face down to her DD cup breasts. The way they were bouncing were hypnotizing; just begging to be groped.

“T-Twi.” he grunted. “L-lift...ugh...your...ugh...shirt.”

Twilight grabbed the bottom of her shirt and slowly lifted it up revealing her light purple bra that was barely holding her bouncing breasts.

“Oh yeah.” Stargazer said as Twilight grabbed her own breasts in order to keep them from bouncing as much. Stargazer wasn’t having that so he grabbed Twilight’s arms, pulled them away from her breasts and held them to her sides as he pounded into her with even more vigor. Twilight squeezed her eyes shut and gritted her teeth. She wanted to scream out in pleasure, she wanted to moan her lover's name, but she couldn’t or else they would be found out. Thrashing her head from side to side, Twilight raised her hips to meet his thrusts which added more pleasure to the both of them.

Twilight opened one of her eyes and said in a breathy whisper. “I-I’m gonna cum.” Those three words were more then enough for Stargazer to reach his limit. After three powerfully hard thrusts both lovers came hard; with Twilight gripping the sheets as her back rose off the bed and tears started to stream down her face.

As they started to calm down, Stargazer collapsed on top of Twilight who wrapped her arms around him and held him close. The two sweaty lovers laid there and enjoyed the afterglow they earned. Staring up at the ceiling with her lover in her arms, Twilight’s face suddenly went from pure satisfaction to regret as she realized what she had just done. This party wasn’t just any party where at any point she could just sneak off with her coltfriend to have sex, like they’ve done in the past. This was a party for Spike, the friend who’s always been there for her, the friend who helps everypony whenever they need it and never ask for anything in return, the friend who was just recently betrayed and beaten the other night, the friend who now needed his friends.

“What have I done?” Twilight thought. She managed to push her now unconscious lover off her and with wobbly legs, she got out of bed, pulled her shirt down, put her panties back on, and slowly left the room.

While walking down the hallway, Twilight stopped, leaned against the wall, and started quietly sobbing. Her friend needed her and what did do? Instead of being there for him like he was for her 99% of the time, she left him just to go and get laid. She felt horrible. Why couldn’t she have just told Stargazer no, maybe next time, or something along those lines, but no, he basically said “hey let’s fuck” and she just went along with it. If she confronted Spike and he was angry with her, she wouldn’t blame him. She felt that she was a horrible friend for giving in to her sexual desires.

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

Twilight made it back downstairs and saw that everypony was gone, all except Spike who remained sitting at the bench eating the last of Mr. Cakes cheese stuffed pretzels. “Spike?” she said softly catching his attention.

“Oh hey Twilight.” he said.

“Where is everypony?”

“Pinkie got drunk, took off most of her clothes, and ran out the door.” he explained. “The others went after her.”

Twilight looked over at the floor and saw Pinkie’s shirt, socks, shoes, and her skirt. She also saw the barrel containing the apple cider encased with in a magical pink barrier. “What’s with the barrier?” she asked.

Spike sighed. “That’s the cider. Celestia put a barrier around it in order to make sure I don’t get any.”

“Well you are still underage.” Twilight said with a small giggle.

“As if one small sip would hurt.”

Twilight’s small smile disappeared as she sat down next to Spike. Scooting closer to him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a small embrace. “Spike....I-I’m sorry.”

“For what?”

“I should have been here celebrating and having a good time with you, but instead I....I....”

“You went upstairs and got laid instead right?”

Twilight’s eyes widen in shock. “H-how did you.....”

“I saw the two of you leaving earlier. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what you two were planning.”

At that point, Twilight tears started to flow. “Oh Spike, I’m sorry.”

“Twilight, you have nothing to be sorry for. It’s not like I have the right to tell you NOT to have a relationship, right?”

Twilight buried her face in his neck and sobbed softly. Even though she was racked with so much guilt, even though she believe that Spike should be mad at her for basically abandoning him in order to fulfill her sexual desires, he wasn’t, and this wasn’t the first time either. There have been numerous occasions where Twilight and the girls would go off somewhere and leave Spike behind. Granted some of the places they went, Spike wasn’t allowed to go because he’s underage, but other places and events like: the new Fun World theme park that opened up in Vanhoover, or Pinkie Pie’s new years party she throws every year, or the girl’s monthly annual weekend slumber party. That last one really dug at Twilight’s heart as she remembered when the time came for the slumber party, she would kick Spike out and he would be force to sleep in a tent. The only time he was allowed to remain inside was if the weather was bad.

Twilight came to the realization that she was probably worse than Amethyst, and that caused her to cry even harder. Spike simply held Twilight closer and rocked her back and forth for a couple of minutes until she started to calm down. “You okay Twi?”

“H-how Spike?” she asked. “How can you be so forgiving?”

“I don’t know.” he said without a care in the world. “Guess it’s in my nature.”

Twilight wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. “If there was an element for that, there’s no doubt that you’d be the barer of it.”

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

Luna’s moon shone bright over Ponyville as Spike looked out the window of his bedroom. Twilight walked wearing her purple nightgown that showed off a good bit of cleavage causing Spike to blush and look away. Twilight was holding tray that held a glass of water and Spike’s medicine. “Okay Spike, time to take your medicine.” she said as she sat down on the edge of the bed. Spike popped the pill in his mouth and drank the water soon after. Almost immediately, the medicine started to take effect and Spike let out a big yawn.

Twilight smiled as she gently laid Spike back and pulled the covers over him. She leaned in and gave him a small peck on the forehead. “I promise Spike, I’ll make it up to you somehow.” she whispered. “We’ll do something fun together.”

“T-Twilight.....*yawn*....when you have....your next slumber party....*yawn*....can I join in?”

Spike was barely able to keep his eyes open. With his vision blurry, he saw Twilight’s lips moving but couldn’t make out what she was saying. Soon there was darkness, and Spike entered the dream world. With Spike now fast asleep, Twilight gave him one last kiss on the forehead then she slowly got up and walked out of his room; closing the door behind her.

Twilight had just made it back into her room when her phone started vibrating. She had gotten a text message from Blueblood telling her to meet him and Cadence outside immediately. Grabbing her robe,Twilight ran all the way to the front door and walked outside. There she saw BlueBlood and Cadence waiting for her.

“What’s going on?” she asked.

“Did Shining Armor get a chance to talk you yet?” Cadence asked

“No why?”

Cadence looked over at BlueBlood. “BlueBlood found out something about Amethyst I think you should hear.”

BlueBlood stepped up and began to explain. “I know you want revenge against Amethyst for what she did to Spike; we all do, but that wouldn’t be a good idea.”

“What! Why not!?” Twilight was starting to get angry.

“After Spike’s attack I sent out some of my special ops soldiers to track her down and they found out that she’s the daughter of Dragon Lord Atomsk. Anything happens to her and it could cause an international incident.”

“What are saying? That we should just let her get away with what she did?!”

“I’m not saying that Twilight. I’m saying that it works both ways.”

“What do you mean?”

“Spike was found and raised by Celestia, he’s basically a member of the royal family, and after what Amethyst caused....I’d say this is already an international incident.”

“So where is she now?”

“Back in the Dragon Kingdom i’m afraid. But with the Summer Sun Celebration coming up there’s no doubt we’ll be seeing her again.”

At this point, Cadence started to speak up. “If you recall during Spike’s memories, Amethyst was just as surprised to see her mate as Spike was. Goliath doesn’t seem like the kind of dragon that would pick up on things right away, meaning Amethyst was probably planning for this little farce to go on until he did.”

“What are you saying?” Twilight asked.

“I’m saying that somepony had to have tipped those dragons off. Somepony who not only knew that Spike was seeing Amethyst, but who also could have overheard Amethyst saying she had a mate.”

“But that could be anypony.”

“I have my suspicions as to who it could be.” BlueBlood spoke up. “But without any evidence, it’s just speculation.”

Twilight was about to ask the prince who he think it was but BlueBlood spoke up again. “It’s getting late; will finish this discussion tomorrow with Celestia and Luna at the royal meeting. I’m sure they’ll want to hear this as well.”

As BlueBlood started to leave, Cadence called Twilight over so the two of them could speak in private. “Twilight, there’s something else I need to tell you. It’s about Spike.”

“What it is?” she asked, feeling concerned.

“Don’t let his attitude fool you, sure he seems like he’s okay on the outside, but inside he’s in so much pain. Amethyst not not only broke his heart, but his spirit also. He doesn’t want you girls to worry about him so much.”

“Oh Spike.” Twilight whispered as tears started to flow.

Cadence pulled Twilight into a strong hug. “Take care of him Twilight.”

Twilight nodded. “I will.”

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

At Sugar Cube Corner, Mr. and Mrs. Cake were headed to their room to turn in for the night. As they passed up one of the guest room, they heard a strange sound coming from it.

“What was that?” asked Mrs. Cake.

“I don’t know.” Mr. Cake answered. “Stay behind me.” The married couple slowly opened that door and what they saw shocked them. Mrs. Cake screamed bloody murder, while Mr. Cake’s blood was boiling.

“WHAT THE FUCK!?” he yelled.

On the bed was, Stargazer, laying on his back still asleep with his pants down and the condom he used earlier still on. Upon hearing Mrs. Cake’s scream, he shot up looking around all dazed and confused until he realized the situation he was in.

“Um.....I can explain.”
