The next day, Twilight and the other girls had spent all day getting ready for the meteor shower. Pinkie and Twilight were busy preparing the snacks while Applejack and Rarity were arguing about the tents. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Starlight were spending time with Spike in his room. They laid there with him in his bed watching him play some kind of platform video game. Their activity went on until the sun was starting to go down and it was time to get going.

The girls asked the coltfriends to take the tents and set up while they bring the snacks. The coltfriends were a bit reluctant to but didn’t want to argue. Big Macintosh and Sunburst went with them in order to make sure that the set up went perfectly.

“Ready to go Spike?” asked Twilight.

“Hold up, let me save.” he said. After Spike saved his game, he cut it off and Twilight helped him into his wheelchair. The two made it out of the castle and began making their way to the north side of Ponyville where the spot that Stargazer chose was. By the time Twilight and Spike made it to the site, they saw the Big Mac putting up the last tent, which was Spike’s tent. The other girls showed up afterwards with a wagon carrying pillows and blankets. Twilight distributed the pillows and blankets and the girls started to set up inside the tents. Spike wanted to help, but Twilight told him to just sit there and relax. She didn’t want him hurting himself if she could help it. While Spike sat down and watched everypony setting up, Big Macintosh walked up next to him. “Hey Big Mac, talked to Blueblood yet?”

“Eeyep!” he said extremely happy. By the tone of Big Mac’s voice Spike could tell that he was very happy with the shield Blueblood gave him.

“We’ll have to get online at some point.” Spike suggested.

“Eeyep.” Big Mac agreed.

“Hey Big Mac, come help out will ya!” called Rainbow Dash. Big Mac left Spike’‘s side and went to help Rainbow Dash with the firewood she was carrying.

After a while, the tents were set up and Sunburst started a camp fire. Twilight brought Spike around and helped him out of his wheelchair. As everypony gathered around the campfire, Spike found himself sitting in the center and right behind him was his tent. Everypony started to have a good time. They were all singing campfire song, playing games, roasted marshmallows and Rainbow Dash told a couple of scary stories that quickly became unscary thanks to Twilight’s logic. Their fun continued until Celestia’s sun went down completely and the stars filled the sky.

“Okay everypony, it’s almost time.” said Stargazer.

Everypony stopped what they were doing and they all looked up to the sky. Nothing happened for a while but eventually they saw one meteor shoot across the sky. Then another one and another one until suddenly the sky was full of them. Hundreds maybe thousands of small shooting stars flew across the sky. All the mares cuddled closer to their lovers as they watched the sky.

“It’s so beautiful.” said Rarity.

“You’re beautiful.” said Pearl Haze as he leaned in as kissed Rarity on the cheek.

Rainbow Dash wrapped her arms around Applejack’s waist and held her close while Fluttershy and Starlight snuggled closer to their coltfriends. Taking this chance, Stargazer slowly kissed Twilight on her cheek and moved down to her neck while softly running his hand up down her side; earning a soft gasp and light moan. The others followed suit doing the same thing to their lovers; with Pearl softly nibbling on Rarity’s neck to Dizzy gently tugging on Pinkie’s ear with his teeth. They were doing all that they could just to get the girl turned on.

“Just one more push and you’re all mine.” he thought as his hand slowly moved up to cup one of her breasts.

Twilight was about to moan her lover’s name when she suddenly opened her eyes. Twilight wasn’t an idiot, she knew where this was going. No way in Tartarus was she going to have sex with Spike nearby. She raised her hand to his ear and twisted it hard; earning a loud yelp.

“Nice try.” she said.

“Wait what?”

“I see what you’re trying to do and it’s not going to work.” she said while booping him on the nose.

“Twi, I don’t know what you’re......” Twilight cut him off by booping him again; giggling as she did so.

“Better luck next time big boy.”

“Damn, she saw right through me.” he thought. Twilight rested her head on his shoulder as the,meteor shower continued on. The same thing happened to Pearl and Dizzy, as Pinkie and Rarity denied them a chance at hot love making.

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

About an hour after the shower ended, Twilight gave Spike his sleeping medicine; which quickly knocked him out seconds after taking it. After pulling the sheet over him, Twilight gave spike one last kiss before leaving his tent. “Okay everypony, now that Spike is asleep what do you girls want to do?”

“I got a lot more scary stories to tell.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Those “stories” of yours aren’t really that scary.”

“Because you keep throwing in logic where there shouldn’t be.”

While Twilight and Rainbow were having yet another one of their arguments, Fluttershy and Applejack noticed that the fire was slowly going out.

“Y’all boys mind gettin’ some more firewood?” Applejack asked. “This here could take a while.”

Big Mac nodded then grabbed Pearl and Dizzy to tag alone with him; much to their protest. Pinkie Pie watched as the three stallions disappeared into the night. Giggling uncontrollably, she followed after them, most probably going to make an attempt to pull a nighttime prank against Dizzy. The three stallions walked towards a mini forest to gather up some firewood, but while they were alone, Big Mac grabbed them and pushed them to the ground, hard.

“What the Tartarus, Big Mac?” asked Dizzy.

“Y’all are some piece of work.” he said, sending a chill down both their spines. Big Macintosh hardly ever talks, but when he did, you’d better hope to what ever god you worship that he’s in a good mood.

“W-what are you talking about?” asked Pearl.

“Don’t y’all be playin’ dumb with me!” he yelled. “I heard what y’all been plannin’!”

Dizzy and Pearl froze up. “Y’all been tryin’ ta have sex with the girls in front of Spike.”

“W-what, no we weren’t.” said Pearl.

“DON’T Y’ALL LIE TO ME!” Big Mac yelled. “I HEARD WHAT Y’ALL WERE PLANNIN’ YESTERDAY!”

Dizzy and Pearl were now shaking in fear. “I also know that y’all been sayin’ horrible things about Spike behind his back.”

“H-how do.......” Dizzy started.

“Apparently, Spike overheard y’all talkin’ one day but chose not ta say anything to the girls. Prince Blueblood found out what y’all been sayin’ and yesterday he told me.” Big Mac explained. “What has Spike even done to y’all? Why are y’all so jealous around him?”

“W-well....l-look how close he is with o-our mares.” Pearl said, trying to defend himself. Honestly, it was a very, very, very weak defense. Big Mac raised an eyebrow at this.

“That’s it?” he asked. “That’s the reason?”

“W-well, I uh.......”

“That has to be the most pathetic excuse ah EVER HEARD!” he yelled. “So just because he’s close ta the others, that’s the reason y’all hate him? Then ah guess that means y’all hate me too right?”

That statement caught both stallions off guard. “Ah’m close to them too, in fact, ah’ve known Rarity when she was a little filly.”

“B-Big Mac, it’s not like that.” said Pearl.

“THEN WHAT IS IT LIKE?!” he asked. “Please tell me why y’all are so damn jealous fer no damn reason.”

“Oh come on Big Mac, how can you say that?” asked Pearl. “They’re the most beautiful and powerful mares in all of Equestria, every stallion on this planet wants them. Heck, Spike had a crush on Rarity and who’s to say that those feelings aren’t still there?”

“By Celestia’s name, y’all are so ignorant.” Big Mac said while putting his hand to his forehead. “If Spike still had feelings for Rarity then he wouldn’t have gotten together with Amethyst, would he?”

“W-well, no.....”

“So what’s the problem?”

“Look I get that they’re friends and all, but why do the girls have to be all over him? Why can’t he go to his own family and get the same treatment?”

That question infuriated Big Mac to the point that he put his right fist through the tree he was standing next to; causing it to break in half and fall over. Pearl froze up in pure terror; afraid to move one inch of his body in case he was next. Taking a deep breath, Big Mac retracted his fist and slowly looked at Pearl.

“We...are...his...family.” he said. “Spike was newly hatched and on the brink of death when Princess Celestia found him. According to Twilight, Spike’s real parents abandoned him and left him for dead because of how small he was, so Celestia took’em in and raised him as her own. And when Spike came to Ponyville, he became a member of all our families. We’re all that he knows, all that he has. Did y’all not see Rarity’s reaction when Spike was in the hospital? It was as if a part of her died that day. Outsiders like y’all wouldn’t understand.”

Big Mac turned away from the two stallions in disgust. “Hey wait.” called Pearl. “How the Tartarus can you call us outsiders? We’ve been living in Ponyville for four years now.”

“And in them four years, have the two of y’all ever sat down and talked with Spike? Interacted with Spike? Got to know Spike?” Big Mac asked. “Nope. All y’all did was follow Stargazer and said horrible things behind his back and conspire to use y’alls love for the girls against him ta make him feel even worse than he already does by basically sleeping with them in front of his face . And fer what, because y’all can’t deal with the fact that Spike’s gettin’ so much attention from his family?”

“So you’re saying you’re okay with Fluttershy being all over him?”

“If y’all are askin’ me if ah trust Fluttershy, then eeyep. But do y’all?”

“What?”

“Do y’all trust Rarity?”

“Of course I do, it’s Spike I don’t trust! He’s a dragon, they’re the most greedy creatures on the planet, he won’t stop until get gets what he wants; and that’s Rarity.”

Big Mac instantly turned back and looked Pearl dead in the eye. “Who the Tartarus told y’all that?! Stargazer?!”

Pearl simply nodded and Big Mac sighed deeply. “While it’s true that dragons are greedy, Spike doesn’t let his greed take over cause if he did, he would’ve done something ta try ta destroy y’all relationship with Rarity a long time ago.”

Pearl had nothing to say after that statement as he realized that Spike had multiple times to sabotage many dates he had with Rarity, and each time Spike didn’t take it. Had he been wrong about Spike all this time? Had his jealousy clouded his judgment? Pearl looked over at Dizzy who was still lying on the ground frozen stiff. He had been this way ever since Big Mac raised his voice so he was no help in this argument. “Ah’ll tell y’all this one extra thing, not fer y’all but fer Rarity, any jealousy y’all feel towards Spike, GET OVER IT, or else y’all will wind up with nopony. And y’all will have nopony else to blame but y’all selves.”

And with that, Big Mac turned his back towards them and started to walk off. After a few steps, he stopped and turned back at the defeated stallions. “Oh, one more thing.” he said. “From what Blueblood told me, it would seem that Spike was setup to be attacked.”

“W-what are you talking about?” Dizzy finally spoke up.

“Ah’m sayin’ that if ah find out that y’all had something to do with Spike almost being killed....” Big Mac said while giving them a deadly stare. “Ah’ll kill y’all myself.”

“W-wait, what are saying, we didn’t........” Dizzy tried to say but Big Mac already walked off; leaving the two stallions alone. They stayed there for a while reflecting what was said to them. Pearl decided to head back towards camp while Dizzy stayed behind. Dizzy heard some rubbling from the nearby bushes and slowly approached them.

“Who’s there?” he said.

A female figure slowly emerged from the bushes; revealing it to be the one mare Dizzy didn’t want to see.

“P-Pinkie.”

Pinkie stared him down with a look of sadness and heartbreak. “I can’t believe you.”

“Pinkie?”

“When we were watching the meteor shower, you tried to take advantage of the situation and get me to have sex with you in order to make Spike feel bad?”

“P-Pinkie.”

“Why would you do that to him, to me? Don’t you think he’s suffered enough from that BITCH Amethyst?!” Tears started to flow down Pinkie’s face and her mane and tail deflated a bit.

“Pinkie please, I can explain.” he pleaded.

“Every time we made love I thought it was because you loved me, but now I see that it was just a way for you to gloat. To basically tell Spike that this is something he’ll never have.”

“It’s not like that Pinkie.” Dizzy as he started to slowly approach and reach out to her.

“DON’T TOUCH ME!” she screamed causing him to freeze. “Stay away from me you....you....ASSHOLE!”

“Pinkie wait!" Dizzy yelled as Pinkie ran off in the opposite direction away from him.
