The Main 6 Starlight the Crusaders Shining Armor Discord and Cadence were giggling or laughing at Spikes embarrassed face as Celestia was kissing his head with happy tears and nuzzling him.

Twilight was gonna sent a letter to the Princesses saying that Spike was safe and alive, but Luna told them when she found Spikes dream and headed to Twilights Castle to tell her but found him there.

"Ok mom, you been doing this for Ten minutes now, the girls are watching", he said looking at the Crusaders.

"My little boy, i'm so glad your safe and alive", she said giving him another kiss on the cheek and putting him down.

The Crusaders nuzzled him affectionately and each gave him a kiss, "we are so glad your safe Spike, we thought we lost you", Sweetie Belle said with a frown.

Spike nuzzled them back, "you ain't gonna lose me girls, I promise", he said with a smile.

Twilight asked out of curiosity, "how did the guards know you were gonna be in the Crystal Empire?"

Spike turned to her, "they lead me into an alleyway saying Cadence wanted to see me, then they turned into Changelings and I use the royal Canterlot voice to call you and fought them off", he said with a smirk.

Scootaloo smirked, "you did look cool fighting them off", she said nuzzling his cheek remembering how her coltfriend fought them off.

Sweetie Belle smiled with a blush, "and you were very brave Spike", she said kissing his other cheek.

Spike blushed with a smile, "well, I've been running from danger for Two years now and I thought that it was time to stop and face it", he said with a smirk.

Celestia turned to Princess Cadence and Shining Armour, "keep an eye on your guards for fakes, who know if the Changeling's will be back again".

They nodded, "yes auntie, same for you", Cadence told Celestia.

Spike smirked, "enough about me, guess who got a date dad", he said turning to Discord as Fluttershy blushed.

Discord grinned, "Spike, your gonna have Four fillyfriends..keep that up and the Crusaders won't be able to share you", he said with a smirk.

Spike shook his head, "no dad, i'm gonna stick with my Three girls and thats it", he said looking at his fillyfriends with a smile that made them blush.

Fluttershy stepped foward, "it's me daddy, i'm gonna go out with Thunderlane tomorrow", she said with a blush and smile.

Celestia grinned, "thats my daughter", she said nuzzling her.

Discord snapped his fingers and teleported Fluttershy into his arms, "what happened to being my little Princess", he said with a frown and hugging her.

Fluttershy hugged him back with a smile, "daddy, I will always be your little Princess", she said with a giggle.

Discord put her down as Celestia asked with a smirk, "so, you asked him out or he asked you?"

"He asked me out mom, and he found Spike at Pinkies family rock farm and flew him over here while keeping him safe just incase Changeling were around looking for him", Fluttershy said nuzzling her little brother affectionately.

Celestia smiled, "well, when I see him, I'll talk to him and thank him for finding and keeping my little boy safe".

Discord grinned, "yeah, I need to have a 'Fathers' with him when I get the chance".

Fluttershy saw the grin and glared at her father, "daddy, you not gonna scare him again, are you", she said as Celestia glared at him too.

Discord smiled at them, "of course not my dear daughter, it's just gonna be a friendly one on one talk, that's all".

Celestia glared at him, "I hope so, now about you giving my son a playcolt magazine for his birthday Shining Armor", she said turning to the wide eyed sweating stallion with a glare.

Twilight Fluttershy Rarity and Cadence glared at him too as they closed in on him, "uhh..I was just doing what any big brother would do", he said with a nervous chuckle as he was backing up.

"What kind of big brother gives their little brother a playcolt magazine for his 13th birthday", Twilight yelled in outrage.

"I'm gonna have a serious talk with you later dear husband", Cadence said through grit teeth as the stallion put his head down knowing that he is in trouble when they get back to the Crystal Empire.

After a while the Princesses and Princes left back to their Castles, "hey Starlight, thanks for showing me that Duplication spell", he said hugging her with a smile.

Starlight smiled and hugged back, "anytime Spike".

Spike broke the hug and snickered, "I wish we could've been there to see the look on Chrysalis face when she found out they got my Duplicate", he said as he, Rainbow Dash and Starlight fell over laughing and holding their ribs.

After a while, Spike promised to spend some time with the Crusaders and walked out with them.

Rainbow Dash turned to Fluttershy with a grin, "so, will it be one date with Thunderlane or more afterwards", she said as everypony turned to a blushing Fluttershy with a grin.

"R-Rainbow, I don't know if it's gonna be more then one date", she said looking away blushing still.

Rarity asked with a smile, "you gotta come to the Boutique darling, so you can find a dress and show it off to Thunderlane", she said pushing a red face Fluttershy out the door with her.

Twilight asked with a serious voice, "listen girls, for now one when we visit the Crystal Empire or Canterlot, we gotta stay close to Spike just in case?"

They nodded, "we got it Twi, I know that we don't wanna lose him again", Rainbow said with a salute.

At Canterlot Solaris and Celestia were sitting on the Thrones, Solaris saw the look on his wifes face, "Tia dear, what's wrong", he asked concerned.

Celestia frowned, "i'm worried about our little boy, what if he gets ponynapped again but doesn't return, what if..", she couldn't bring herself to say it and looked down.

Solaris lifted her chin with a wing, "Spike is becoming a young strong and smart alicorn, he fought them off and outsmarted them", he said said with a smile.

He gave her a kiss, "and if it becomes to much for him, I'll be there for him to stop them", he said with a smirk.

Celestia smiled and gave him a kiss, "you are a wonderful father to our son Solaris".

She gave him bedroom eyes, "and I think you deserve something 'special' for that", she said using her tail to lift his chin up lightly.

Solaris eyes turned into pinpricks and wings went fuff as he made a horse noise through his nose.

Solaris grinned, "is it the kind of something 'special' that i'm hoping for".

Luna faced hoof, "make sure one of you put a sound proof spell up this time sister", she said with a blush remembering the last time they went at it, one of them forget to put a sound proof spell up and can be heard in the hallways.

Celestia gave Solaris another kiss, "I'll be waiting in our bed Chambers, my dear husband", she wispered in his ear as she teleported away.

Solaris shook grinning still, "my dear sister in law, cancel all our meeting for the next few hours willya", he said teleporting away to join his wife in their bed chambers.

At Ponyville with Spike and the Crusaders, they decided to go to the lake and go for a swim.

They swam around in the lake and started splashing each other, Spike had enough as he got out and shook the water off then sat down in the sun.

He watched the girls splash each other and it was making him feel funny, how the Crusaders manes and fur were wet, he felt himself get a winger.

When the Crusaders walked out of the water, they shook the water off, "that was a nice swim, right girls", Apple Bloom said with a smile as they nodded.

Spike saw how their bodies changed from the past year, he saw that Apple Bloom had a body of a hard working young mare, Sweetie Belle started developing curves like her sister and Scootaloo being athletic like Rainbow Dash.

He couldn't look away from them as it made him feel weird, he felt his wings twitch when he looked at their flanks.

Sweetie Belle saw him looking at her flank and blushed, "uhh Spike, are you ok", she said noticing his wings are out.

He smiled, "yeah..why".

Scootaloo raised an eyebrow, "because your wings are stiff", she said looking at them.

Spike looked at them too and tried to fold them back, but couldn't, "again, what the heck..why are they stuck", he said trying to fold them again.

Scootaloo walked up to him looking at his wings, "i saw some stallions wings like this before when they were watching my sister do stunts", she said touching his wings with a hoof.

Apple Bloom walked up to them, "really, what does it mean", she said with a hoof to her chin as she looked at Spikes stiff wings.

Spike shrugged, "i heard Rainbow Dash called it a winger, i first got it when i was looking at a magazine my big bro gave me", he said turning his head to look at his stiff wings.

Scootaloo asked with curiosity, "what kind of magazine was it?"

Spike turned to her, "it was a magazine that said playcolt on it, and it had mares laying down in weird ways with weird looks", he said feeling funny just thinking about it.

Apple Bloom remembered her dream, "speaking of feeling weird, i had a dream about you that we were kissing for a long time and it was nice in a weird way", she told her coltfriend.

"Me too Spike, i had a dream that me and you were laying down in the same bed holding each other, it made me feel weird but in a good way", Scootaloo said still confused by it.

Spike blushed at what they said, remembering what Pinkie told him about his special dream about Sweetie Belle.

Spike looked down with his wings still stiff, "Pinkie told me about those dreams, she said that you have dreams like that about ponies you love", he said with a red face.

They smiled, "well, we love you Spike, so it's ok to have those dreams about you...right", Sweetie Belle said smiling.

Spike smiled, "yeah, i guess so and i love you girls too", he said giving them each a kiss.

Later on, Spike was with Apple Bloom at her farm helping her with chores while he learned how to buck apple trees.

They were working side by side, "thank you for helping me Spike", she said giving him a kiss.

Spike smiled, "no problem Apple Bloom, just let me know if you ever need help at the farm", he said walking ahead of her with a bucket of apples on his back.

Apple Bloom watched and noticed Spike didn't have problems holding a bucket of apples on his back do to his earth pony strength of being a alicorn.

Applejack saw her looking at Spike with a blush and smile, she smirked, "Apple Bloom, i think it's time and when your done can i see you so i can talk to you alone" she said walking towards the barn.

Apple Bloom smiled, "sure thing sis", she said finishing up her chores.

One hour later, Apple Bloom was sitting on her bed with a shocked and disgusted look, Applejack just finished giving her the TALK.

She waved a hoof in front of her face, "i had the same reaction when granny Smith first gave me the talk about mares and stallions", Applejack said with a chuckle.

Apple Bloom ran to the bathroom to throw up, "yup, same reaction", Applejack laughed.

When Apple Bloom came back, "thats gross big sis, i don't think i'm ready to do any of that with Spike", she said shaking her head and pacing back and forth.

Applejack gave a stern look, "i hope so, me or Big Mac don't wanna come in here one day and find him on top of you or you on top of him", she said before walking out.

Apple Bloom looked down and walked out with her, she saw Spike at the bottom of her stairs eating a slice of home made apple pie for his hard work.

She walked down the steps just as he finished, "thanks for the apple pie Applejack", he said with a smile before he saw Apple Bloom looking at him with a smile.

Applejack smiled, "your welcome Spike".

Spike noticed it was getting dark and got up to stretch, "i think i better fly home now, bye Apple Bloom", he said giving her a kiss.

Hevwas gonna walk out the door when Apple Bloom stopped him, "wait Spike...if you want, you can spend the night", she said with a smile.

Spike turned to her and smiled, he never really spend the night at Apple Blooms place and wanted to see what it was like, "sure Apple Bloom, i don't mind spending the night, unless your ok with it AJ", he said turning to Applejack.

Applejack smiled seeing no harm in it, "sure you can Spike, here i got some ink and a scroll so you can write to Twilight saying your staying here for the night", she said leading him to another room were she has it.

After Spike wrote on it and send it to Twilight with a spell she tought him, he got one back saying it's ok and for Applejack to take care and watch over him.

When it was late, Spike was laying down in the same bed with Apple Bloom as they were facing away from each other, it made him feel weird.

Spike asked out of curiosity, "so, how was you dream like Apple Bloom?"

Apple Bloom smiled, "it was nice but made me feel weird", she said turning to him.

"Oh, my dream about Sweetie Belle was nice but made me feel weird", he said with a smile.

Apple Bloom blushed smiling still, "I like to try my dream for real".

Spike turned to her, "only if you want to AB", he said with a smile.

Apple Bloom scooted closer to him and gave him a long kiss, Spike was surprised but closed his eyes and melted into it.

After awhile when Apple Bloom broke it, she told him with a blush, "i think i like that, what about you Spike".

Spike smiled with a blush, "i liked it too".

Something was telling Apple Bloom to kiss him for a long time again, so she did as something was telling Spike to kiss her back.

They started making out for the first time and they liked it for some reason, something told Spike to pull Apple Bloom close so he can hug her, so he did.

They felt tired as Spike held her in his hooves as she did the same, "good night Spike, love you", she said giving him one more kiss before yawning and closing her eyes to sleep in a colts hooves for the first time.

"Love you too Apple Bloom, good night", he said kissing her head and falling asleep with a filly in his hooves for the first time.
