Spike and Ember's Date [REVAMPED]

Part 1

The older Mane 6 was enjoying a nice picnic with their parents, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Big Mac and his family, Discord, and the Young 6 in honor of Twilight's Royal Adviser and Dragon Ambassador to the ponies, Spike. Even Thorax, Starlight, Sunburst, and Trixie were there.

Then, Twilight realized that a very important matter within her mind when she saw Spike smiling in a way that she had never seen in all her mortal life. Then, she levitated a glass of pink lemonade and a spoon and tapped the glass four times to everyone's attention.

"Excuse me, every creature, I have to tell you all something that's bugging me," she started. All eyes were on her. "Spike is smiling in a way I never saw in my entire mortal life," she said which caused everyone to murmur in agreement. Spike continued to sip his tea.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Twilight," he said as he started slurping his lemonade very quickly. Twilight, however, knew that he was lying and used her magic to levitate it out of his paw and onto the red-lined blanket.

"Come to think of it, I never saw a dragon smile like that," Teenager Smolder said as she placed the left side of her right index finger on her chin.

"What's gotten you in such a good mood, my BDFF?" Thorax asked. Everyone else stared at King Thorax with questioning glares. Thorax placed a dumbfounded look and started to place a happy smile. "Best Dragon Friend Forever," he answered for them.

"Oh," every creature said.

"Well, let me tell you an extraordinary tale about my time in the Dragon Lands, my BCFF which stands for "Best Changeling Friend Forever." Gather round," he said as he waved everyone to come closer to him in a big circle. Twilight remained on Spike's right side, but inched her head forward to her little brother.

....

In the Dragon Lands...

Spike was walking around as he was now 18 years old, just like Ember. He was there to help Ember with the duties of being the Dragon Lord alongside Dragon Egg Hatching Season. Then, his train of thought was broken when he accidentally bumped behind someone and landed on the ground. Then, he placed his left paw on his head and realized that he bumped into a familiar red dragon with an orange sail, orange-colored spikes, and a tail with an arrow-shaped tail point.

"Hey, watch where you're- Spike?!" Garble wondered as he saw his friend on the ground and placed his left paw in front of the purple dragon. "What brings you here to the Dragon Lands?" He said as he pulled Spike up off the ground. The purple drake lets go of the friendly gesture that old-time rival Garble learned to do ever since he saved the last Dragon Egg Hatching Season from his own friends' foolishness. "But first, Wazzup!"

Spike started to do the same thing.
"Waaazzuuuup!"

Ever since they learned to get along, they hit it off and became best buds. Even Best Dragon Friends Forever.

...

"Wait! Hold on! Best Dragon Friends Forever?! I just said like, 15 seconds ago that you were my BDFF," Thorax said in complete anger.

"And I still am. It's just that we call us that because, well, we're "dragons," Spike concluded.

"Oh! My bad! Please, continue," the changeling king insisted.

"Thank you," the purple drake replied.

"Before you go on, Spike, I would like to add how you two started as enemies, then became brothers in arms?" Twilight asked.

"Well, it happened when me, Smolder, and surprisingly, Fluttershy visited during the time of that Dragon Egg Hatching Season during that time before your coronation, Twilight. And, well, I told Fluttershy to leave Garble and his friends out of her report," he finished.

But, Twilight glared at him.

"And why, may I ask, did you tell her to do that?" Twilight asked again, yet with a different tone.

"Because you couldn't handle the fact Garble is Smolder's big brother," he said.

"What?!" Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack Apple, Rarity Belle, and Rainbow Dash said in unison. Rarity continued the statement towards Smolder.

"Smolder, darling, why didn't you tell us that Garble was your brother?" Rarity asked.

"Well, I kinda read some of your books on all your nemesis when I was reading in the library just to pass the time. When I saw that Gar-Gar was in there, I knew had to keep my relationship with him secret," Smolder said. Then, she heard some giggling from the five ponies. "What's so funny?" She asked.

"Well, you see, Smolder, we *chuckles* we never heard that he had a nickname so stupid," Twilight chuckled.

That statement, however, caused Smolder to snort black smoke from her deadly nostrils. "Oh, I see. So, if you think the name that "I" gave to Garble is stupid, then fine. I'm just going to read a book in the school's library, to pass the time!" Smolder said as she stood up from the very huge blanket that she and her friends made as students and flew off like a rocket back to the School of Friendship.

"Smolder, wait! I didn't mean to," she started as she picked herself off the ground and raised her right hoof to stop Smolder. But, it was too late as the orange dragon flew at high speeds back to the school. "-hurt your feelings," she said as she placed her hoof back down and lowered her head. "Spike, I need you to keep our guests entertained as I try to see if I can calm her down and say sorry to her."

Ocellus flew in front of her.

"Your majesty, I think I should be able to calm Smolder down and deliver your apologetic message," she said and then flew off like a rocket as well.

"So, sugar cube, are you going to continue your story?" Applejack asked.

"Right until Smolder comes back. This affects her, too," Spike said.

"How so, Spikey Wikey?" Rarity asked.

"You'll see soon enough," Spike said.
