One night, inside the penthouse restroom, Applejack who had her body wrapped in a towel along with her hair sat on a stool with one of her bare legs propped up and was covered in shaving cream. Spike who was at her side wearing his undershirt and sleep shorts was gently running a lady razor down Applejack's propped up leg until it was a clean shave.

“How was that, Applejack? Good?” Spike asked hopefully. He certainly didn't wanna give the cowgirl any razor cuts on her leg.

“It was perfect, Spike. Just like ya did my other leg,” Applejack answered happily, “Thanks again for helping me out with this.”

“No problem. Though I'm surprised you asked me to do this, when you girls have a spa day tomorrow.” he replied.

“Yeah, but I want my legs to be clean shaven so Rarity won't suggest any waxing down there.” Applejack warned Spike.

Spike cringed, “Good point.”

“And ya did a fine job on them.” Applejack said, as she looked at both of her legs.

“Thanks.” Spike said, as he watched Applejack stand up and remove the towel from her head allowing her damp hair down. He started to blush once Applejack dropped the towel covering her body to show off her naked figure. Spike had a moment to appreciate Applejack's nice firm butt, and her voluptuous Amazonian breasts, before she slipped her orange panties on, and slipped her bra on before turning back and spoke to the boy.

“Little help.”

“Right.” Spike said, as he sent behind Applejack and helped her with her bra.

Once she had her undergarments on, Spike handed A.J her blue footsie pajamas. Applejack slipped them on, “Now that's cozy.”

Spike nodded, “Well, I'm turning in. Goodnight, A.J.”

Applejack smiled and leaned over to kiss Spike, “Goodnight, my sweet sugarcube.” Applejack left the bathroom.

Spike watched her leave and spoke to himself, “Shaving Applejack's legs. And I thought giving Rainbow leg massages was something, but this tops that. And tomorrow's gonna be so awesome. It's so rare I get the penthouse all to myself.” he left the bathroom himself and went to his room to sleep the night away.

The next day in the living room, Spike was sitting on the sofa relaxing, until the girls came down looking ready to go out.

“Well, Spike. We're heading out.” Twilight told him.

“Ok.”

“Are you sure you won't reconsider joining us, darling?” Rarity asked.

“Yeah. I'm pretty sure.” Spike replied.

“Are you sure you'll be ok by yourself?” Sunset asked.

“Yes, with Principal Celestia and Nurse Luna out it'll be just you.” Fluttershy noted.

“Relax, I'll be fine.” Spike assured the girls.

“Well, ok. We'll see you later.” Twilight said, before giving Spike a kiss.

“Later, Twilight.” Spike replied.

Rarity walked to Spike and kissed him, “Next time you see us, darling, we'll be fresh and new.”

Spike smiled lecherously, “Looking forward to that.”

Pinkie smiled and kissed Spike, “Have fun, Spike.”

“Will do, Pinkie.”

“Try not to miss us too much while we're gone.” Rainbow said, before kissing Spike.

“I'll survive.” Spike joked.

“Take care, Spike.” Applejack said, followed by kissing Spike.

“I will.”

Fluttershy smiled, before giving Spike a kiss, “You be good, Spike.”

“Don't worry, Fluttershy. I'll be really good.” Spike spoke seductively making the girl giggle.

Finally Sunset was the last to give a kiss to Spike, “Try to entertain yourself while we're gone.”

“Not to worry on that, Sunset.”

And so the girls left the penthouse, as Spike watched them through the window. When he saw the limo drive off with them Spike knew he was finally alone.

“Yes. I'm finally by myself.” Spike smirked, as he looked around the penthouse.

Soon enough, Spike turned on stereo system via remote and started to play Bob Seager's Old Time Rock n' Roll. Spike himself slid into the entry way of the living room wearing his shirt, boxer shorts, and socks while lip singing the song and dancing around.

Spike was enjoying himself until he heard the doorbell ring. He grabbed the remote to lower the volume before putting his pants on. He answered the door to see a Pizza Hut delivery boy carrying a pizza and breadsticks.

The delivery boy hearing the music in the background spoke to Spike, “Alone time?”

Spike nodded in confirmation, “Alone time.”

“Enjoy.” the delivery boy said handing Spike his take out.

“Oh, I will.” Spike assured him.

Soon Spike was plopped on the sofa while enjoying his breadsticks and pizza, along with already have three empty Pepsi cans on the coffee table. As he enjoyed his lunch he was watching Star Wars Empire Strike's Back on the wide screen TV.

“Oh, yeah! Bring those Walkers down, boys!” Spike cheered, as he watched the battle on Hoth. He sighed, and relaxed before eating another slice, “Now this is living. While I enjoy the company of the girls, it feels good to get some alone time. I could never get it with Ember and Smolder constantly invading my privacy. Maybe after the movie I'll check out Eden and see what's going on.” he took a sip of his current Pepsi, as he continued to enjoy the movie.

---

Later on after his movie and lunch, Spike was walking around Eden's Grand Central Terminal as Shenron. As he looked around the various world portals to other spots in Eden, he thought to himself.

'Even if there's a chance of me running into Ravagers I'm not gonna be intimidated by them.' he looked around before stopping at a portal leading to a serene forest sector, “Hmm. Maybe I could use a little stroll through nature.” he was about to go through the portal, until...

“Hold it right there!”

Spike stopped and looked to the side seeing avatars were stepping aside in fright, as four avatars were walking his way. The four avatars were all enemies from the Power Rangers franchise. There was Sledge, Snide, Goldar, and Darkonda.

“Oh, boy.” Spike said to himself.

The four stopped, as Sledge spoke to the Dragon Warrior, “So, you're the famous Shenron.”

“I might be.” he admitted.

Goldar looked around, “Where are the Rainbooms?”

“Busy.” Spike replied plainly.

“Then taking you down should be no problem.” Snide declared.

Spike sighed, “Look, guys. I'm not looking for fighting today.”

“Well, that's a shame, because we are.” Darkonda said with a snicker.

“And we were promised a great reward to defeat you.” Sledge added.

“Really? I can only imagine from whom.” Spike replied in sarcasm.

Sledge aimed his blaster at the dragon avatar, “Give yourself up now, and maybe we'll go easy on you.”

Spike sighed, “I guess I don't have a choice, do I?” the four villains grunted at him, “Well, then I guess there's only one thing to do... Adios!” he jumped through the world portal.

“After him!” Sledge ordered, as the four followed him through the portal.

Spike arrived in the forest sector, “Terrific, now Grogar's starting to bribe other players into going after me and the girls.” he told himself.

A laser shot almost hit Spike who spun around to see Sledge and the other three, “Found ya!” Sledge laughed.

Spike sighed, “I didn't wanna do any fighting today, but when do I ever get what I want?” he summoned a Dimension X blaster from his arsenal and started firing back at his opponents.

“Take him!” Sledge ordered the other three who drew their swords and charged into battle.

Spike seeing the three charge at him started shooting at them. While Snide and Goldar took a few hits it didn't take them out completely, Darkonda reached Spike and started swiping at him with his sword. Spike dodged the sword strike, before kicking Darkonda back. Snide growled, as he jumped in and started swinging his own sword at Spike who dodged, until Goldar came up behind him and restrained him.

“Let me go!” Spike stomped on Goldar's foot.

“Ow!” Goldar groaned, as he ended up losing his hold of Spike who elbowed him in the stomach.

Snide tried to slash at Spike who rolled to the side, resulting in Snide almost slashing at Goldar, but stopped before his sword could reach him.

“Not me, you idiot!” Goldar growled.

Spike once again opened fire against his enemies, only for Darkonda to deflect the shots with his blade, and Sledge opened fire trying to hit Spike in the leg. Fortunately he missed, but Spike ended up flying backwards and landed on the ground.

“Now we've got him!” Snide said, as the four surrounded Spike.

Spike fearing this was the end of him, until the four villains were almost shot at. They looked and saw approaching was the members of PostCrush K-Lo and Su-Z armed with their own blasters.

“Sorry to interrupt, boys. But we're gonna have to ask ya to leave the dragon alone.” K-Lo began.

“What's up, Shenron?” Su-Z asked.

“Saved by PostCrush? Well, this is turning out to be some day.” Spike admitted.

“Aren't you two a long way from the Ink and Paint Club?” Sledge asked.

“Yeah, why don't you stick to what you're good at.” Goldar laughed.

The two scowled, as K-Lo spoke, “We may be rockers here, but that doesn't mean we don't know how to defend ourselves.”

They both stood by Spike's side, as Su-Z helped him up, “You ok?” she asked.

“I am now. Just wasn't expecting to be saved by you two of all people.” Spike confessed.

“Well, it's a good thing we showed up when we did.” K-Lo said, as they stared the monsters down, before the two rock star girls summoned swords.

“Let's go!” Spike ordered, as they attacked the four villains.

Spike flew around shooting at Sledge, while the two girls clashed their swords again Snide, Goldar, and Darkonda's. Spike kept blasting until his Dimension X blaster ran out of charge so he stored it back in his stock to recharge. He landed on the ground and started attacking Sledge head on, before disarming him of his own blaster. The bounty hunter/scrap collector threw a punch at Spike who ducked before grabbing his arm and threw him over his shoulder.

Sledge swept a kick under Spike making him drop to the ground as well. As Sledge got up and tried to stomp Spike, the dragon rolled away from Sledge's foot before getting back up and gained distance.

'I got to take Sledge out and help PostCrush,' Spike thought as he looked over at the two girls holding their own against Darkonda, Goldar, and Snide, but knew they were outnumbered, 'Wait, I know!'

Spike got up and fought Sledge some more, before the dragon shoved Sledge back. He quickly dug through his stock and pulled out a bomb-omb that was already lit.

“Hey, Sledge, catch!” he threw the bomb at Sledge who caught it.

When Sledge looked at what he caught he was horrified, “It's a bomb-omb! No!” the bomb exploded taking Sledge out.

The explosion caught the attention of the other monsters who saw what happened, “He took out Sledge!” Darkonda gasped.

“And you guys are next!” Su-Z called, as she and K-Lo started fighting back against the three harder.

Spike flew up behind them and tackled Goldar away leaving PostCrush to face Snide and Darkonda. Su-Z fought Snide, as K-Lo went after Darkonda. As Darkonda and K-Lo fought, the girl was dodging and blocking the monsters sword attacks, until she caught an opening, and quickly stabbed Darkonda making him explode.

“That'll teach him.” she told herself.

Spike was dodging sword attacks from Goldar, before reaching into his own stock and pulled out the Fist of Tebigong. After arming himself with it, he fought Goldar head on, before knocking his sword out of his hand.

“Fist of Tebigong!” he sucker punched Goldar destroying him, “Another one down.”

As Su-Z was fending off against Snide, the blue monster once finding an opening kicked her to the ground.

“Your friends may have defeated my partners, but I will not be going down so easily.” Snide aimed his sword down at Su-Z, until both Spike and K-Lo swooped in and kicked Snide back.

Snide got up and saw the three staring him down, “It's over for you!” K-Lo declared, as she and Su-Z outfitted one of their hands with an Iron Man repulsor gauntlet and blasted Snide together with Spike using his Dragon Talisman along side them. Snide himself screamed as the power of all three overwhelmed him, and he fell back and exploded with his sword flying out of his hand.

Spike smirked, “So long, Snide.”

The three powered down and caught their breath, “And I thought we were popular when it came to others wanting to get to us.” K-Lo told Spike on behalf of herself and Su-Z.

“This isn't my kind of popularity.” Spike retorted.

“Well, there's no such thing as bad publicity.” Su-Z joked, and they laughed.

“But really, what were you two doing out here?” Spike wondered.

“We may love to perform at the Ink and Paint Club, and even New Donk City's club, but even we have to get away from the music from time to time and enjoy the more serene places here in Eden.” K-Lo explained.

“True, though why help me?” Spike wondered.

“We couldn't resist helping a loyal fan.” Su-Z replied.

“And it was nice of us to team up, wasn't it?” K-Lo asked.

Spike shrugged, “Good point.”

“Now then, let's collect some loot.” K-Lo suggested, as they went to retrieve what the four enemies left behind upon being destroyed.

After collecting whatever money the monsters left, Spike took Sledge's blaster, while K-Lo took Darkonda's sword, and Su-Z took Goldar's. The two girls approached, Spike as Su-Z held Snide's sword out to him.

“Here, Shenron, for you.” Su-Z offered.

“Really?” Spike asked looking at the sword and the two.

“A token of our friendship.” K-Lo explained.

“Thanks.” Spike took the sword and added it to his arsenal.

“And here's a little something more from us.” Su-Z materialized a pass card and gave it to him.

Spike looked seeing the pass was a VIP card at the Ink and Paint Club, “This is...” Spike gasped, as he looked at Post Crush who smiled.

“In case you and the Rainbooms ever wanna join us backstage.” K-Lo offered.

Spike smiled, “Thank you.”

“No problem.” Su-Z replied.

“Well, I better get going. It was nice fighting along side you two.” Spike said.

“Same.” the girls replied, as Spike exited Eden.

Later that day, Spike was cleaning up the living room from the mess he made earlier. As he finished, the girls walked in.

“We're back and fresh as daisies!” Rarity announced.

“Welcome home, girls. Have fun?” Spike asked.

“It was enjoyable.” Twilight answered.

“I'll say. I feel like a new me.” Applejack stretched around.

“What about you, Spike?” Fluttershy asked.

“Oh, I had a good time here by myself. I even went to Eden for a bit, but ran into a bit of trouble.” he confessed.

“Trouble?” Sunset asked, as the others looked Spike's way.

“Ravagers?” Rainbow asked.

“Not exactly.”

“Tell us!” Pinkie ordered, as they all sat down.

“It's like this.” Spike began telling them what happened to him in Eden, “And that's it.”

“Yo fought along side PostCrush?” Sunset gasped.

“Sure did. They're quite the fighters. I mean, they're not like you girls, but they can hold their own.”

Twilight spoke up, “So it looks like Grogar's already trying to bribe other players with something if they take you and any of us out of the game.”

“Dealing with Ravagers is a pain enough, but now that he's bribing regular players to do his bidding makes it worse.” Fluttershy feared.

“Grogar can't bribe everyone in Eden to come after us.” Rainbow reminded them.

“Maybe, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't tread lightly.” Applejack replied.

“That's right,” Twilight confirmed, “Once again Grogar's scared we're becoming too powerful so he's doing all he can to sabotage us from taking the fortress.”

Spike remembering not to be intimidated because of him spoke up, “Yeah. He thought he could intimidate us by sending his lap dogs after us, but the truth is he's the one that's scared.”

“Took the words out of my mouth.” Rainbow nodded proudly.

“And if we go down, we'll go down fighting, together!” Pinkie declared, as Spike and the rest of the girls nodded in agreement.
