	“Come on, Applejack, I think I can handle myself! I promise I won’t do anything stupid!”
	“No way, Apple Bloom! This might be the last day of matin’ season, but if you don’t want to get knocked up, stayin’ in this barn is the best solution; I ain’t taking any chances. Rairty is doing everythang she can to keep Sweetie Belle out of view from stallions, and I’m afraid it’s too late for Scootaloo. That filly just couldn’t wait to share flying lessons with that Rumble kid after this whole ordeal was over? Oh well, I’m sure she’ll be a mother soon.”
	“But it’s not fair; what about you? What makes you think you won’t give in so easily?!”
	“Because I have been dealing with this situation much longer than you ever have; so I’m used to it. You and your friends are experiencing this for the very first time so you’re not used to it yet. I mean, holy horseapples; you were so bad yesterday you literally tackled Big Mac on the ground and begged him to have intercourse with you!”
	“I know, but he was… so…”
	“Apple Bloom; there will be no thinking of your brother like that!”
	“I know, I know! I’m sorry, maybe you’re right. It is just for one more day I guess.”
	“Thank you. Now, your brother is with his special somepony right now so you don’t have to worry about him. I’m going to go over to Zecora’s for some herbs to help soothe your nerves. But until then… you have to stay here, understand?”
	“Yeah, I hear ya. Stay here, no sneaking out, and I’ll be fine.”
	“Alright, now you be a good sis until I get back.”
	“Stop treatin’ me like a little filly; Ah’ll be fine.”

	-----

	As AppleJack closed the barn doors and started to head towards Zecora’s place, poor Apple Bloom was just laying there on the barn floors; humming to herself to try and distract herself from her swollen heat emanating between her legs. She kept on temping herself to step outside for just a little bit, but she knew doing that would only increase her chance of seeing a nearby stallion/ colt and risk mating and getting pregnant.
	She became so desperate; she tried to distract herself by rubbing her hoof against her vagina and getting rid of some of the constant irritation. It did relieve her of some satisfaction, but it just wasn’t enough. For it to fully go away, she would need an actual stallion/ colt cock inside her. She didn’t know if she could make it to tomorrow.
	“Oh sweet hayseed!” Apple Bloom shouted out of desperation, “Why is going through heat without mating have to be so damn hard!?”
	Well, she at least knew that she could relax a bit once her sister came back with some of Zecora’s herbs; it helps her to keep her mind of… you know what. She was still out on the floor while continuing to lightly rub her moist, scented clit; then suddenly she heard the barn doors open. Her head suddenly popped up, but she was afraid that it might be a stallion that was at the doors. She bravely looked up and peaked over the bales of hay she was hiding behind.
	“A-A-Apple… jack?”
	She saw a silhouette of somepony, but it didn’t seem to look like a pony after all.
	“Hellooo, anypony here,” said the silhouette.
	Apple Bloom waited for the unknown figure to come closer until she could make out who it was.
	“Whew, it’s only… SPIKE!?”
	She quickly hid back behind the bales of hay, pretending that she didn’t see him.
	“Huh, that’s funny,” said Spike to himself while, “I could’ve sworn I heard somepony just now.”
	Spike wasn’t a stallion or a colt, he was a dragon. But… he was still a male; and to Apple Bloom, having a male that close to her in her condition was nervewrecking. He had a growth spurt lately and was actually becoming more handsome looking than cute in the older filly’s eyes.
	Spike suddenly took a few light whiffs, “Whoa, what’s… that strong, arousing smell?”
	“Oh no, he smells me,” said Apple Bloom softly to herself while looking at her dripping genitals, “what do I do?”
	She took another risk and looked over the bales of hay. Unfortunately, when she did she saw Spike standing there stroking his giant erected member. The smell of her scent must have activated his hormones and brought it out, and he was trying to get rid of it.
	“Oh sweet Celestia,” said Apple Bloom desperately, “why did I look again!?”
	What could she do, she could force him into submission and have him mate with her, but what if she got pregnant because of it? Just the thought of having Spikes huge erection deep inside her heat juices made her body tremble with uncontrollable anxiety. Suddenly she noticed that he was heading towards the door, trying to ignore her smell.
	“Oh well, I guess no pony is here. I guess Twilight’s message will have wait; and I have to get this erection down before anypony sees. Whoever was here must have been in some serious heat or something; it’s setting off my hormonal sensors like crazy.”
	Apple Bloom couldn’t take it anymore; she wasn’t just going to see what she saw and do nothing about it! Screw what her sister said and forget about the risk of having foals, Apple Bloom needed it, and she needed it NOW!  
	She jumped over the bales of hay from where she was hiding and darted past Spike and towards the doors. Spike was suddenly startled and a bit nervous seeing who he saw.
	“What the… Apple Bloom?!”
	The older filly didn’t waste any time as she quickly shut the two doors behind her. Afterwards, she slowly turned around to Spike and gave him a nice pleasant smile.
	“Howdy… Spike.”
	Spike suddenly felt an uneasy feeling in his gut as the filly in front of him continued to stare at him… telling him that something fishy was going on here.
	“Um, h-hi Apple Bloom. Um, do you know where Applejack is?”
	“Sorry, she ain’t here; but she’ll come back soon.” Apple Bloom suddenly started to walk towards him slowly and a bit sultry-like, “In the meantime, could Ah be of service?”
	“Are you okay Apple Bloom,” asked Spike while backing away a bit, “You’re acting kind of… strange; and you’re scaring me.”
	Apple Bloom was almost upon him looking deep into his eyes, “Me, a cute, harmless little pony scaring a big, handsome hunk of a dragon like you?” 
	She battered her eyes at him while swishing her tail around; and Spike was sweating constantly with wide, frighten eyes.
	“Come on, Apple Bloom. I just wanted to tell your sister that Twilight figured out a perfect spell that can help any mare or filly to resist any unwanted urges during their time of being in he… heat!”
	Suddenly, the dreaded truth finally hit him, “Oh crap.”
	In the blink of an eye, the young dragon found himself being tackled onto the ground by the sexual-driven filly and was suddenly regretting coming in there.	
	“Pinned ya, Spike,” the yellow filly said pressing her snout against Spike’s, “Whacha’ gonna do?”
	“Come on Apple Bloom, you really don’t want to do this, do you? I mean I’m flattered that you find me attractive and all, but maybe you should reconsider your thoughts.”
	Apple Bloom looked at him with seductive eyes as she lowered her entire body onto Spike’s, “Sorry Spike, but I’m getting’ what I want; and no pony or dragon is gonna stop me.” 
	The horny filly started her assault by constantly rubbing her dripping sex against Spike’s lower body. Spike was awkwardly being turned on as the vibration of Apple Bloom’s movements was causing his erection to slowly pop back up.
	“No wait, stop! Oh… oh my gosh.”
	Spike couldn’t deny his hormones suddenly giving in to Apple Bloom’s actions. This filly was all over him, and she was planning to keep it going until she was 100% satisfied.
	“That feels good, doesn’t it?” Apple Bloom said while panting and gazing at Spike’s blushing expression, “Gotta make sure that you’re nice and hard.”
	Spike tried to make an excuse to get himself out of this situation, “Please Apple Bloom, I… *moan*, need to get back… to Twilight’s.” However, the little filly didn’t really care.
	“Nice try, but ya ain’t goin’ anywhere… *Gasp!*, till’ I’m done with you.” She started to rub herself against Spike even harder while keeping her gaze on her prize, “just pray and hope that I don’t get too rough with ya’.”
	This filly had him right where she wanted him, and he couldn’t escape… his body wouldn’t let him. Apple Bloom pleasured herself on Spike so much that she had brought out his huge dragon-sized erection again. She looked behind her and saw it as it was lightly bobbing against the cheek folds of her rump; she desperately wanted to get a taste of that monster.
	“Hey Spike,” she said staring into eyes seductively, “how about Ah service you while you return the favor.”
	Keeping her weighted grip on the dragon, Apple Bloom started to slowly turn around and changed her position so she was facing Spike’s dragon erection and her dripping wet sex was facing full-frontal in Spike’s face. 
	“Just don’t hold back on me; ya’ know Ah won’t.”
	Spike was kind of frightened at first as he just stared at what was in front of him; but then he picked up a familiar scent when he sniffed.
	“Oh, so this is what I smelled earlier,” Spike thought to himself, “Damn, I can’t believe that these ponies go through with this 3 times a year for 14 days each time. It’s no wonder Apple Bloom is so desperate to mate with me. But should I comply with her request?”
	Apple Bloom sorta looked to the side towards Spike and was wondering why he wasn’t servicing her yet.
	“Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike,” she said in a whinny tone, “what are ya’ waitin’ for? Lick my pussy; wiggle your tongue deep down in there.”
	She scooted her flank a little closer to Spike’s face so he could get to it easier.
	“Oh well,” Spike thought, “I guess I really can’t ignore her needs now; she’s not gonna let me go until I do.”
	Spike grabbed Apple Bloom’s soft and supple flank with his claws and held a tight grip on it spreading her cheeks out more. The filly turned around again and watched him while she smiled and constantly had her tongue hanging out due to her excitement. She felt as he placed one of his single claws into her dripping sex trying to get a well enough opening to get inside. 	
	“Oh yes, this is gonna be worth it,” Apple Bloom said while slightly moaning.
	Spike got a grip back on the filly’s flank and he started to lightly sink his snake-like tongue into her wet folds. Apple Bloom felt the blissful feeling of the dragon’s tongue moving around inside her. Her entire body was shaking with pure pleasure as she held her head up taking in the wonderful feeling that she longed desired.
	“Oh Celestia, this is what I wanted; I so longed for this!”
	Surprisingly to Spike, he ended up liking the taste of AB’s vaginal juices a lot more than he thought. He started to move his claws around Apple Bloom’s soft rump and roughly massages it all while tasting deeper inside her.
	“Oh my, yes… that’s it!” moaned Apple Bloom as she perked her rump up in the air against Spike’s claws. The frictional feeling of his rough claws against her skin just made her feel hornier. She suddenly took a look at Spike’s massive erected member and she couldn’t wait to dig in.
	“Ah guess… mmm… you’re waiting for me, right? Sorry to keep ya waitin’.”
	She took a hold of Spike’s huge erection with her forehooves and started to slowly lick upwards. She was enjoying the nice sweet taste of a dragon’s penis as she took her time making sure that she got every single inch of it. 
	Spike temporarily stopped in mid-pleasuring when he felt the filly’s tongue making several smooth movements around his erected member. He was slightly moaning in ecstasy while still holding the filly’s rump in his claws. Apple Bloom decided to take it up a notch by trying to fit in as much of the dragon’s penis as she could in her mouth. Before she knew it she had a little more than half of it in already. Spike suddenly closed his eyes and winced not out of pain but out of a sudden surge of pleasure coursing through his body. 
	The yellow filly tightens her grip on her prize and started to bob her head up and down on it while sucking on it as well. Spike was suddenly so deep in pleasure that he stopped massaging her flank but then started to dig his claws in her skin. When he moved them again across her body it created little light red marks on her skin. To Apple Bloom, this rough feeling was more rewarding than painful; Apple Bloom liked it rough.
	The yellow filly suddenly felt that pleasurable feeling from before again as Spike suddenly sunk his tongue as far into her vaginal opening as he could. Despite this, she was still sucking on Spike’s penis in rhythm time to his rough massage strokes on her flank. 	
	Spike suddenly felt a huge pressuring feeling in his throbbing member as AB continued to go down on it with her mouth.
	“I-I-I feel s-something coming up Apple Bloom!” shouted Spike as he was still holding onto AB’s rump. The yellow filly took Spike’s throbbing member out of her mouth and looked over at him with a curious expression.
	“What’s coming up?” she asked.
	Suddenly, Spike released a huge moan as his hot sticky semen shot out of his penis and right into the filly’s face. Apple Bloom gasped out of shock as her face was constantly being covered in the sticky substance.
	“Holy hayseed, what happened,” Apple Bloom shouted as she got off of Spike trying to get the stuff out of her eyes.
	“Uh oh; I’m sorry, Apple Bloom, I couldn’t help it! It just happened so suddenly; how can I help?!”
	While spitting some of the semen out of her mouth she told him, “Q-quick, use that hose over there!”
	Spike spotted the hose and brought it up to the stumbling filly. He turned it on and started to rinse her off; he even watered himself to rinse off any excess cum on his body. Once he was finished, Apple Bloom was soaking wet from head to hoof; she was shaking from the cold water.
	“Well… that kinda ruined the moment, didn’t it?” said Spike awkwardly.
	“Maybe a little,” Apple Bloom responded; then shook herself mostly dry, “but that was quite a surprise, I’ll say.”
	Spike was catching his breath after the sudden excitement; then he shook himself off and prepared to leave to let Apple Bloom rest from their little activity…
	“Well even though you kind of forced me a bit in the beginning, this was a very pleasurable time. I hope I did well to satisfy your hormonal lust; see ya.”
	… or so he thought.
	Apple Bloom suddenly got a hold of his tail and kept him from getting any closer to the doors. Spike looked over his shoulder and saw the yellow filly staring at him; her eyes still filled with seductive wants.
	“And where do ya think you’re goin’? I’m afraid we’re not quite done yet.”
	“Y-you mean there’s more,” said Spike in an obvious sarcastic tone, “what else is there possibly left to do?!”
	Apple Bloom marched up to him face to face and stared him down, “Stop actin’ like I’m dumb, Spike. You know exactly what I want.”
	She looked down at his crotch, and then looked back at him with a mischievous smile.
	“Oh no,” said Spike.
	Without wasting any time, the yellow filly got a hold of her bow and pulled it out causing her silk flowing mane to come down against her body and tossed her bow to the side. She then turned around and backed her rump up against Spike’s crotch and began rubbing it against his undercarriage. Spike began to tense up from feeling the filly’s warm, but slightly damp cheeks rubbing against him; he could feel his dragonhood re-surfacing from its depths. Apple Bloom started to rub faster as she started to feel her prize getting longer and squeezing against her cheeks. It didn’t take too long for Spike’s fully erected member to be back in full length and size. Apple Bloom was quite impressed; this dragon was so easily manipulated to grant her wish. 
	“Alright, Spike, I think ya know what to do now.”
	She went forward a couple of steps then got into bending position. She looked back and gave Spike a little smirk and winked at him as she slowly raised her light-red tail presenting her fresh blooming bud that still looked a bit swollen; meaning that the filly was not 100% satisfied yet.
	All Spike could do was stand there and stare; for he was hesitating a bit while his throbbing member was literally twitching from the arousing sight.
	“I-I-I don’t know about this Apple Bloom,” said Spike, “I could seriously hurt you! And besides, wasn’t your whole reason hiding here was so you wouldn’t do this and end up having foals?!”
	“Ah don’t care!” Apple Bloom whinned; she was also stomping her left hoof out of frustration, “Ah don’t care if Ah end up gettin’ pregnant and havin’ foals anymore! All I want now is for somepony… or dragon in your case, to plow my insides! And Ah don’t care how rough you may get with me, Ah want this and Ah want it… NOW!!!”
	Spike was quite surprised of how Apple Bloom was acting, but they did fiddle with each other already; so in her condition, they might as well go all the way.
	Spike slowly approached the yellow filly’s rump with his dragon hood still throbbing. He placed one of his claws on one side of her flank; giving it little rubs. Apple Bloom ended up lightly moaning just from that.
	“Okay Apple Bloom,” said Spike, “I’ll do it for you, but only if you truly want this.”
	“Yes Spike, yes! Please, just give it to me already! My body can’t wait any longer! Give me a real good buckin’!”
	Apple Bloom braced herself and showed no fear as Spike slowly entered his throbbing member into her. At the size he was, he was careful not to injure her. AB’s hind legs were shaking as she was starting to feel her vaginal insides be filled with Spike’s massive cock.
	“H-h-h-h-holy crabapples! Oh yes, push it in, push it all in!”
	Spike took a deep breath and pressed even harder causing him to finally break through AB’s hymen. The pain was immense, but Apple Bloom took it and was trying not to show any tears. She made a light squeak sound and bit her lip while holding her scream in. Spike felt like he shouldn’t go any further in but Apple Bloom refused.
	“It’s okay… Spike, ram it all the w-way in; I can take i-it!”
	Spike went on ahead and granted her wish. He continued to push his cock deeper into the horny filly’s inner walls. They both gasped out of ecstasy as Spike made the final push. Apple Bloom almost felt like having an instant orgasm right then and there having feeling all of Spike’s massive cock inside her, but she kept it together so she could enjoy it just a little bit more. 
	“Wow… *pant* I can’t believe it’s all in,” said Apple Bloom, “Sweet Celestia, it feels good!”
	Spike was catching his breath again after forcefully pushing his dragonhood into the yellow filly’s tight vaginal walls. He never felt anything more amazing in his life.
	“You’re so tight,” he said desperately. He suddenly started to get this feeling; his dragon instincts were starting to take over his consciousness and became overly horny himself, “it feels really good! I have to continue on with this; I have to… Spike… WANTS!!!”
	Apple Bloom looked over at him with an obvious smirk, “Like you had a choice; but I knew you would enjoy this. So go ahead, give me all you got.”
	“Oh… I will,” said Spike in a mischievously tone and a sinister glow in his eyes.
	He suddenly dug his claws into the filly’s rump again and quickly with drawled his cock from the filly’s insides causing her to gasp suddenly; and then he forcefully slammed his entire cock into her again and she screamed out in ecstasy once again.
	“Oh sweet acres; that feels buck-rific!” she screamed out.
	Spike soon positioned himself in a squatting-like pose, and then he started to slide out and push back in constantly with the same level of pressure as before. Spike was growling and panting out of his actions hanging his tongue out. 	
	“How do you like this you naughty little filly,” Spike said in a arousing growling tone.
	Apple Bloom was in pure heaven, feeling the pleasurable thrusts of Spike’s dragon cock going in and out of her constantly.
	“AHHHHHH!!! Ah yes,” she screamed out in ecstasy, “Ah buck yes! Buck me hard, Spike! Buck me! Buck me! Buck me! I’ve been very naughty; a very bad filly!”
	“You sure have,” said Spike with a smirk as he lifted one of his claws in the air and brought it back down with a big ol’ smack against her flank. She squealed out loud from the impact.
	“Ah yes, do it again! Do it harder, I haven’t been punished enough yet! Punish me some more!”
	Spike continued his assault of thrusts on Apple Bloom while occasionally spanking her flank with much force. He then suddenly bent over a little and grabbed Apple Bloom’s mane with his teeth; giving it a forceful pull. 
	Apple Bloom was enjoying herself immensely; she found out that day that being treated rough and dirty was her secret sexual fetish. She wasn’t quite ashamed of it nor did she think it was a problem; it was just the way that it was with her.
	“Oh Spike,” Apple Bloom yelled out, “I love you, Spike! I love you so much!”
	Spike let go of Apple Bloom’s mane allowing her to drop her head down and relax her neck while she got continuously plowed. Both of their bodies were rocking back and forth in sync and soon were both about to burst.
	“Spike, I’m… *Gasp* gonna cum! Release your stuff inside me, please!”
	Because Spike’s instincts were taking over for the moment, he probably would have done that anyway. But nonetheless, he put his claws around the filly’s waist and picked her up onto her hind feet as he literally thrusts her body onto his pumping erection. Apple Bloom lets out a shrilling squeal as Spike slammed her down onto him a few more times then slammed her down one more time and held her there as he growled loudly and released his dragon cum inside her pussy.
	“Oh Celestia, that’s a lot!” Apple Bloom screamed as her insides was constantly being filled up to the brim with the dragons thick love semen. Her body was tensing up from the huge release; it didn’t seem to stop as it was leaking out past Spike’s cock and then onto the ground below them.
	“AHHH!!! Son of a dog!”
	Apple Bloom came herself soon afterwards, relieving her stress of her condition and leaving her in nothing but pure satisfying bliss. After finishing his release, Spike let go of Apple Bloom and the front of her body slumped down on the ground. Spike pushed against her flank and slid his used up dragon cock out of the filly’s vaginal hole; then her bottom half slumped down. She just laid there flat on her stomach with all legs sprawled out as huge excess cum was pouring out of her as well as feeling the after-effect of her flank being pleasurably spanked by the dragon’s claws.
	“Oh my… my body r-really needed that,” the yellow filly said, “My rump is s-s-so sore… *heh* I can barely s-stand up.”
	Spike suddenly was his solemn self again realizing just how far he went with the yellow filly.
	“Woah, I really went all out huh?”
	“It doesn’t matter,” said Apple Bloom while gasping from exhaustion, “After experiencing that, *Sigh* it was all well worth it.”
	Spike came over to Apple Bloom and laid down beside her, all while wearing an amusing smile.
	“Well, I guess I was glad to help; it definitely helped me with my needs after smelling your heat pheromones.” He gave Apple Bloom a little light kiss on her cheek with his tongue, “And as for your statement earlier, I love you too.”
	Apple Bloom perked up and looked at Spike with her usual charming smile that Spike always known her for. She placed her arm over Spike’s neck and giggled, “Oh Spike, c‘mere ya bad dragon.”
	She pulled the dragon down into a deep kiss as they continued to enjoy each other’s company. Too bad that peace would soon be interrupted by the barns doors opening up and AB’s older sister walks in.
	“Sorry I took a little longer than expected sis, but I’m back with the…”  
	Applejack suddenly froze and her eyes wide with shock as she saw her young sister cuddling up beside Spike; smiling and feeling satisfied. Spike looked up and grinned awkwardly.
	“Oh for the love of… Apple Bloom!” 
	Apple Bloom looked over at her big sister and just mischievously smiled, “Oh, hi Applejack; I’m afraid you came a little too late.”
	Applejack needed no proof; she could literally smell the scent of their sex in the air. But then again, she also noticed the huge puddle of leftover cum between Apple Bloom’s legs. She just stood there glaring at her gloating sister.
	“What’s the matter sis, jealous that your little sister got laid and you didn’t?”
	“Watch it Apple Bloom,” Applejack retorted, “I was just avoidin’ what I didn’t wish to deal with right now; and for your sake I hope ponies and dragons can’t reproduce!”
	Then she suddenly turned her glare over to Spike who was sweating nervously, “And as for you Spike, what the hell are you doing here anyway!?”
	“Um… helping your sister feel satisfied?” he said awkwardly.
	Applejack narrowed her eyes at the joking dragon, and then Spike fully explained.
	“Hey, I was just going around the farm looking for you to deliver a message; your sister here is the one who jumped me and my hormones couldn’t take it.”
	“And just what in tarnation is your little message, hmm?” Applejack said in an unsure tone.
	“He was sent by Twilight to tell you that she figured out a spell that can help all blooming mares and fillies who are dealing with their heat periods… I think,” said Apple Bloom, “Must have been hard to concentrate on that and deal with her own heat.”
	Applejack screamed out of frustration, and simply left the barn slamming the doors behind her.
	Spike was worried that he was in trouble with Applejack and possibly Big Mac if he finds out. He looked down at Apple Bloom who was still snuggling against him and asked her…
	“Umm… ponies and dragons really can’t reproduce… right?”

	-----

	Two days later in the morning… at the CMC clubhouse hangout…

	“Congratulations, Scoot,” said Apple Bloom, “I heard ya got lucky with Rumble last week; ya gonna be a mommy?”
	“Oh stuff it down your apple hole,” Scootaloo replied, “I couldn’t help it, okay? He’s cool, cute, and… hot. B-b-but whatever; it’s no big deal. The test proved to be negative anyway.” She scowled and crossed her arms trying not to show any weakness in her feelings.
	“How ‘bout you, Sweetie Belle,” asked Apple Bloom, “What happened with you?”
	“It’s been very weird; during this season my dramatic fashionista of a sister turned into a highly skilled bodyguard. She had me on lockdown for the whole 2 weeks. And whenever I go outside with her she has a protective barrier around both of us. But when I think about it, I guess I should be thankful; I don’t know if I want to be a mother yet. But… still, it would’ve have been nice to experience mating once at least.”
	“Well, how about you Apple Bloom,” said Scootaloo, “I’m sure that if Rarity was successful, so was your sister?”
	Apple Bloom had a little smirk on her face and chuckled, “Actually, you’re wrong… she failed. This little filly got busy.”
	Her friends both gasped in shock, “What?!”
	Scootaloo came up to her and asked, “So who was it, Featherweight?”
	“Nope.”
	“Pipsqueak?”
	“Nope.”
	“Snips or Snails… or both?!”
	“Heck no… although those two actually aren’t too bad lookin’.”
	“Then who was it?! Don’t tell me that it was your brother?”
	“Well actually… n-n-no.”
	“Come on tell us,” said Sweetie Belle, “the suspicion is killing us!”
	Suddenly their clubhouse door opened and Spike walked in, “Don’t mind me ladies.” 
	He then came over to Apple Bloom with a blanket and laid it over her, “Sorry to interrupt, but you forgot the blanket. Remember, the doctor says it perfect to keep your belly warm when relaxing and…”
	He suddenly looked over at Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo who were both just sitting there with their mouths gaped open and their eyes wide; they couldn’t find any words to say. Apple Bloom sported an amused smiled looking at Spike and her friends back and forth. Spike started to feel a little awkward.
	“Umm… did I miss something?”
	Apple Bloom placed her hoof on him and laid him down beside her, “Why don’t you stay for a few minutes Spike; this meeting is gonna get good.”
