Author's Notes:

I apologize in advance for any errors, but I wanted to at least get this up before that Cat 4 hurricane hits later on today. I'll try to get chapter 20 up as well and when everything passes, i'll go back and fix whatever need to be fixing. Thx for the support guys, it means a lot.

"W-What?!" Spike said in shock. Standing in front of him was Blueblood with his arms crossed. "H-He's dead?!"

Blueblood nodded. "Celestia had him executed for attacking the royal family and attempting to kill you." he explained. "I'm not surprised she didn't tell you that; she knew you would've been against it."

"I am." Spike said with a disappointed tone. "Couldn't she have just put him in a cell underneath the prison or something?"

"We've done that already with Sky Island Prison, and he managed to escape that." Blueblood explained. "Celestia wasn't gonna take the chance of him possibly escaping again and doing more harm to anypony else; especially you." Spike lowered his head. Despite all the things Stargazer had done, he didn't want the unicorn to lose his life. Spike had been actively against the death penalty for as long as he could remember. He wasn't as naive as to believe that everypony could be redeemed with the power of love and friendship, but killing them just didn't seem right to him. He would've been more content with them living the rest of their lives in prison or banishment, but in the end, it's Celestia's decision and he's just gonna have to live with that. "I know you don't like it, kid, but trust me, it's what's best for everypony." Blueblood said.

"Blue, I can tell that you wanted him dead just by looking at you." Spike said while giving a look. "So why do you sound so......disappointed?"

"It's a moment that i've been wanting to happen for the longest time, but Celestia and Cadence wouldn't let me enjoy it." he growled. Spike figured that it'd be best not to press that issue. Knowing Blueblood, he'd probably attempted to get off on seeing Stargazer suffer before death. "So where's Twilight and the others?" Blueblood asked.

"They were called away on a friendship mission." Spike answered. "And Pinkie's with Dizzy right now."

"Okay, how does that table/map thing work away way?" Blueblood asked. "At first I thought it chooses Twilight and the others because they were element bearers, but then Starlight came over to Canterlot for a mission that one time, and last I checked,she's not one."

"I never really quite understood that either." Spike said as he pondered why Starlight was sometimes chosen to solve a friendship problem.

"Neither do the writers of this show apparently." the prince said. Seconds later, sounds of somepony running through the halls could be heard. The sounds started to get louder and louder until somepony crashed through the door.

"YOU BLONDE BASTARD!" screamed Pinkie as she charged at Blueblood. The prince responded by grabbing her and throwing her over his shoulder onto Spike. Pinkie landed, softly, on top of him and turned back only to see that Blueblood was already gone. Pinkie gritted her teeth in anger and attempted go after the prince, but Spike stopped her by wrapping his arms around her waist. With all his strength, Spike managed to hold Pinkie back while she struggled to get away from him. It took some time, but eventually, the pink mare tired out and just sat there in Spike's lap breathing heavily.

"You done?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah." she panted. Spike continued to hold onto her just in case she regained her strength and attempted to escape. "I hate him." she growled.

"I can see that." Spike replied. The two of them sat there for a while until Spike was 100% sure Pinkie was calm, however, Spike would soon wish he'd let her go earlier since her thick plot was right on top of his crotch; rubbing against it. Immediately, a dark blush appeared on Spike's face as he felt himself start to become hard. It wasn't long before Pinkie started to feel his "little buddy" rubbing against her.

"Um....S-Spike?" she said with a blush.

"S-Sorry." he replied. "M-Maybe you should get off now." Spike was about to remove his arms from around Pinkie's waist, but froze when she started to move her hips from side to side slowly. Spike held back a groan as Pinkie's grinding continued. Pinkie leaned back till her back was against Spike's chest.

"Say, Spike?" she spoke up.

"W-What is it?" he asked as he started to move his hips along with hers. Pinkie turned her head to look at him and was shocked to find that his eyes weren't glowing like they did before. His cycle was truly over with and all he has to do now and bite her at the point of orgasm and she'll be free, but there was one problem, she didn't know what this would do to him afterwards. Pinkie was pulled from her thoughts when she felt Spike's claws move from her hips towards her breasts; fondling them to his heart's content before lifting up her shirt and bra revealing them to the world. Pinkie let out a high pitched squeak once Spike grabbed a hold of her nipples and twisted them; not too hard though, but enough for Pinkie to become moist between her legs. "S-Spike." she whispered as she grabbed his claws. Spike groaned as Pinkie started to move her hips in a circular motion. With a deep blush on her face, Pinkie slowly moved in and captured Spike's lips. She leaned the full weight of her body against his; causing Spike to lay down bringing her with him.

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

The sun had gone down right when Twilight and the others returned to Canterlot. The group quickly made their way towards the hospital to be with Spike, but were stopped by a couple of guards. They were told to meet with Princess Celestia in the throne room at once. Reluctantly, the mares had to put their reunion on hold. If the princess wants to see them, then it must be important. The mares rushed towards the castle, and with some magic from Twilight, teleported inside the throne room where the three princesses, Shining Armor and Blueblood were waiting for them. "Took you long enough to get here." said the prince.

"What's going on?" Twilight asked.

"Earlier today, we've received word that something has happened in the kingdom of Dragonia." Shining explained. "Dragon Lord Atomsk was forced to abdicate his position." Hearing this earned a gasped from the mares as Shining continued. "Naturally, his followers are against this and a civil war threatens to erupt."

"So who's the new Dragon Lord?" asked Rainbow.

"From what we understand, the Dragon Lord is going to be his brother, Torch." Celestia answered. "Unlike Atomsk, Torch is actually a really good diplomat, even if he doesn't want to admit it. If I remember right, he's the reason the "Grand War" ended between our two kingdoms."

"So what happens to....."her"?" Twilight asked; refusing to say the name of a certain dragoness. Just thinking about her name caused untold anger to grow within the purple alicorn.

"Assuming their royalty is anything like ours, the throne would probably go towards one of Torch's kids." Blueblood answered. "Like how if Celestia and Luna were to retire, then the thrones would revert to me and Spike since we're next in line. With Atomsk no longer Dragon Lord, Amethyst will never see that title."

"I always thought Twilight would be the one to take the throne." said Starlight. "You know, since she's Celestia's former student and all."

"Twilight......take the throne?" Blueblood chuckled. "The pony who has a mental breakdown every time the slightest bit of pressure is put on her?"

"What?! I don't have mental breakdowns!" Twilight defended.

"YES YOU DO!" said everypony else. Twilight responded with an angry pout while crossing her arms; earning a chuckle from Celestia. After that, her demeanor went back to being serious and she engaged Twilight and the others.

"That being said, we're keeping a close eye on the situation." she said. "Just in case we have to get involved, but hopefully, it won't come to that."

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

Spike released a soft groan as he held onto Pinkie. Her hips bounced up and down at a nice pace while burying her face into Spike's neck. Taking him deeper inside, her inner walls tighten up around him as she moaned in his ear. "S-Spike." she moaned.

Spike couldn't believe it, this was what sex felt like? It was amazing. Every movement caused Spike to feel Pinkie's inner walls pulling him deeper. It was as if she was trying to suck everything out of him at once. He was sure he was gonna lose it; not helped by the fact that Pinkie just increased her movements a bit. The bouncing of her hips caused her thick plot to jiggle like jello. Spike wished he could see it right now, but settled instead to just move his to grabbed the soft flesh and grope it to his heart's content. "Mmmm." Pinkie moaned as she switched to a circular movement. "It feels so good." Adding to the pleasure, Pinkie alternated between circular and up and down movements while burying her face in Spike's neck. Not wanting to be out done, Spike bucked his hip upwards meeting her thrusts earning him a muffled moan from Pinkie. "Spike, i'm gonna cum." she whispered as her walls started to tighten up. Spike felt himself getting close as well when he realized that he had to make a choice. Either keep Pinkie for himself, or let her go. The dragon blood inside him was telling him to keep her, while his dragon pride was telling him that keeping her wasn't right since she has somepony already; somepony who's currently in a hospital room down the hall from him cause she wrecked him, but still, it wouldn't be right.

Dizzy was his friend, and so was Big Mac, and Shining. He couldn't do that to them; any of them. Spike turned his gaze towards the mark he gave Pinkie and gently kissed it; feeling a slight pain in his chest as he did so. Giving her plot a firm squeeze, Spike slowed down his movements; giving himself a bit more time to enjoy being with her. Pinkie released a long moan before following his lead and slowing down as well. A lot of good that did her since she was now a only a few seconds from exploding. "Spike, please, let me cum." she begged. "I can't hold it."

"Do it." he said softly.

Pinkie rose her hips as high as she could without causing Spike to slip out, then slammed down hard against him; causing her inner walls to tighten up like a vice as her entire body trembled. Spike grabbed Pinkie's hips, and bucked his upwards three times before exploding inside her. While in the middle of their climax, Spike quickly bit down on Pinkie's shoulder; right over her mark. The mare opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out, instead, she just held onto to Spike as the pain on her shoulder slowly faded away. Moments later, the mark on her shoulder slowly disappeared and Spike felt a familiar pain in his chest. The pain of heartache. The last time he felt this this way was back when.....no.....he can't do it, he can't start thinking about her. She's no longer in his life now, and thinking about her now would bring her ring back in, and that was the last thing he needed. Pinkie slowly lifted her head to look at Spike with tears streaming down her face as she started to recover. "S-Spike." she whispered before smashing her lips against his.

Their makeout session only lasted for a few seconds before Pinkie rose her hips; causing Spike to slip out of her. "Spike....d-did you.....remove it?" she asked. Spike answered her with a nod and she responded by holding him tight; smashing her tits against him. Pinkie was free from Spike's mark, and that meant she could now return to Dizzy......if he ever recovers.

*BAM*

"SPIKE!" screamed Twilight after practically kicking the door open.

Spike suddenly found himself sitting up right, fully clothed, and looking around with a confused look on his face. He looked over at Pinkie, who also fully clothes, sitting next to him with an arm around his neck giving off her signature smile. "How the Tartarus did she do that?" he thought.

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

That night, Spike couldn't sleep, not because of the multiple mares all over him, but mostly because of the feeling in his chest. Releasing Pinkie from the mark was causing him to feel lonely and depressed, but at least he still had the others, right, so he thought. Spike knew that he was going to have to release everypony else eventually, maybe even all at once if possible, despite what his inner dragon blood is telling him. Spike was pulled from his thoughts when he was pulled closer into the bosom of Celestia. His face turned a bright shade of red as witnessed Celestia's massive melons slipping out of her light-pink nightgown; most of her areolas now visible. "Spike." she mumbled in her sleep. Spike smiled; knowing that she was dreaming about him, however, his smile faded once started crying softly. "I'm sorry." she muttered. "I'm so sorry."

What was she sorry about? Spike started to wonder as her embrace around him started to tighten up a bit. Whatever she was dreaming about, it was something very upsetting. Spike wanted to wake her up, but that wasn't going to happen since he had multiple mares over him. His best bet was to attempt to get to sleep and hope he runs into Luna in the dream realm. With her magic, she can allow him to enter Celestia's dream so he can see what she was so upset about. Spike tried to get as comfortable as he could before closing his eyes. Unfortunately, the thought of losing Pinkie and eventually the others still plagued his mind and kept him from falling asleep. He continued thinking about it for an untold amount of time before Celestia stopped sobbing and calmed down. This put Spike's mind at ease as he figured Luna must've intervened, but he wondered what it was she was dreaming about. He decided to ask Luna once he saw her in the morning, so for the time being, he just laid there and continued to listen to the soft sounds of Celestia's breathing.
