Rarity gave a polite knock. It was early in the morning. There was a chance Fluttershy was still sleeping. But she needed to get started on this sooner, rather than later.

It had been one day since Spike had left and she had asked for a week to get things prepared for her to move into his cave. Now showered, well fed and rested, she was ready to begin learning everything she needed to know about being with him. After putting on a tank-top and shorts, slipping into some shoes and doing up her hair into a ponytail, she decided it was time to start getting things figured out. Her first start, go find someone who may know a thing or two about Dragons. Thankfully, she had a friend who specialized in exotic creatures.

After waiting a moment, a voice came from somewhere in the upper portion of the house. "Come in. Be down in a moment."

Rarity smiled and opened the door. Stepping in revealed a mix between a library and a cozy cottage. Books covered shelves and were stacked neatly in some places. There was a low fire burning in a fire place nearby as well as a table set up near a window over looking the Everfree. A phonograph played some soft jazz in the background. Rarity had to admit, it was nice to return to a more homey feel after living out in the woods for several weeks.

She stopped by a large bird sitting perched next to an open book. "Good morning, Zetaflare." Rarity reached out and gave a casual pat on the head to the phoenix currently fixated on some story about a pirate. She seemed to relax a bit when feeling a warm hand on her head. But continued to read on.

Rarity chuckled and moved to the table. A dyrewolf was currently setting a tray out with cookies and warm tea. "Good morning to you as well, Thundaga." She gave him a scratch behind the ears, something Thundaga gladly allowed her to do before heading back to the kitchen.

A creak from the top of the stairs nearby drew her attention and she glanced up, seeing her friend standing in a bathrobe. Her wings began to flutter slightly upon seeing her friend. "Oh Rarity! Thank goodness. I was starting to get worried. You've been gone much longer than it seemed like you should. I was about to send Thundaga out to check on you!"

Rarity smiled and nodded. "Sorry, had a few setbacks during the trip. But it was all worth it in the end. In fact, something happened on that trip that I need to talk to you about."

Fluttershy nodded. "Sure. Sorry, just woke up a bit ago. You don't mind, do you?"

She gestured to her robe and Rarity shook her head. Fluttershy smiled and stripped down. Rarity took a small sip of her tea and casually waited. While also being an local expert in the fields of exotic creatures, she too was a bit exotic herself. Being a casual nudist.

Fluttershy dragged her robe down to the bottom of the stairs and hung it on a hook. She turned, her long hair waving a bit while her double D cup breasts shook slightly. She stretched out her wings for a second before folding them against her back. She casually walked over and sat down at the table, taking a cup of tea and stirring some sugar into it. Rarity casually took a seat across from her, already a cup in hand. It had been far too long since she had anything outside of rations and those berries Spike provided for her. The tea was a nice change of flavor.

Fluttershy took a moment to sip her tea before setting it down and looking at Rarity. "So, why don't you get me up to speed on what's been happening."

Rarity scratched the back of her head. "Well, its going to be a long one and the ending... Might surprise you."

Fluttershy chuckled and took another sip of her tea. "Rarity, I think we both know it takes a lot to surprise me these days. But please, I can't wait to hear this."

Rarity took a deep breath and began to go over her journey. How the Everefree seemed to get her lost at almost every turn. Her run in with some creatures including a close call with a Timber Wolf... Then she got to the cave and how she came across a Dragon named Spike. Fluttershy became noticeably fascinated while also a bit nervous when she got to that part. Then that fascination turned to a slack jaw as Rarity went into detail about how generous the Dragon was... Among how it felt when the two made love. She could tell Fluttershy mind almost broke at that.

By the time she finished her tale and ending it with her having to sneak back home what remained of her clothing, Fluttershy had gone very silent. Her eyes remained glued to her tea cup while she seemed to take her time processing all of it.

"That was... Quite a tale."

Rarity realized that Fluttershy was blushing heavily. Probably could have glossed over the mating aspect a bit. Trying to calm the clearly frazzled woman, Rarity cleared her throat. "So, I was hoping you may have some books on Dragon's that could lend a hand in helping me understand him better. Aside from what I have seen, I know very little outside of clearly over blown rumors."

Fluttershy stood up doing her best to turn around quickly. Judging by the fact she kept one hand over her crotch, Rarity could only assume she had indeed gone too far into detail. Though the fact that Fluttershy found it to be such a turn on sort of fascinated her. But decided to move that to the back of her mind for now. Fluttershy disappeared into the back behind a curtain. She soon called out from somewhere in the back of that room.

"Zetaflare! Could you please take a pause and help me find something on Dragons?"

The phoenix looked up somewhat annoyed but nodded. After lifting a talon and bookmarking her page, she took off and began to fly around, scanning the book shelves surrounding her.

After few moments, she let out a small chirp and hovered near a fairly large book. Only to grow agitated when she realized she could not pick it up with her talons. Far too heavy it seemed.

Rarity lifted her hand as it glowed a soft blue. "Here allow me, darling."

The book become surrounded in a blue aura and began to float towards her. Zetaflare look relieved and went to perch herself next to Rarity on the table.

The Magi scanned the title: Big Book of Large Creatures.

The phoenix gripped the side of the book and flipped it open to a page on Dragons. To Rarity's disappointment, there appeared to be only one page on them. It was all about how to avoid them. She looked up at the phoenix who was also look a bit disappointed. "Um... Is there more perhaps somewhere else?"

The fire bird looked over at where Fluttershy had gone to. Both waited and soon, Fluttershy was coming out, looking rather flustered but seemed to have calmed herself down somewhat. "Sorry for the wait. It seems we are very lacking in the Dragon department."

Rarity laid her head onto a book and sighed. "I was afraid of that."

Fluttershy began to pick up some notes and test tubes. "Which is why... I was hoping... Do you think he would be willing to let me take some samples?"

Rarity lifted her head. "Huh?"

Fluttershy lifted a lab coat off a hook next to her robe and began to run her hands over some papers. Rarity raised her eyebrow. She only wore that coat like this when she got really serious. Fluttershy shook her head and turned to Rarity. "We have very few notes on them. If I could take a few samples though, we could learn so much about them."

She glanced back at Rarity. "You mentioned he is unable to talk. So he won't be able to answer any direct questions. But we can still learn plenty though other methods. This is a very rare opportunity. Normally, I wouldn't dare consider going anywhere near a Dragon... But if this one is as docile as you claim, I can't just let this opportunity go to waste."

"Well I doubt he would mind. He isn't coming back for a few more days though."

Fluttershy quickly walked past and scanned the bookshelves. "That's fine. Get yourself ready to go. When he comes though, see if he'd be willing to stay for a little while. Just long enough for me to run some quick tests and take a sample or two."

Rarity nodded. "Sure. If it will allow me to understand him better and help a friend with her research, I don't see a problem."

"Thanks Rarity. Now I hate to boot you out, but I need to get things ready."

Rarity glanced over at the phoenix still perched next to her. She shrugged her wings slightly at the Magi. Rarity shrugged back and gave a short wave. "Alright, see you in six days then Fluttershy."

Rarity then turned, got up and quickly headed out. As soon as the door closed, Fluttershy collapsed where she was. A hand soon finding is way between her legs. "Oh thank the Goddess'. I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold out. I don't think I have ever been so turned on before!"

Zetaflare raised a wing to block her eyes while Thundaga, who had just walked out to the scene, chose to slowly walk back into the kitchen.

Rarity wiped her brow as she worked her magic, carrying two large crates in the air full of her much needed supplies. Fluttershy shuffled behind her with a backpack. Her lab-coat was still on with some sweat pants as she had to walk through town. Though admittedly, the lab coat usually went far enough that most people wouldn't notice anyways. It was a slightly cool evening. Hence why Rarity chose an off the shoulder sweeter and shorts for the night. As the two neared a clearing, Rarity stopped and set down her stuff. "Alright, wait here for a moment."

The Magi slowly walked out and watched as a large creature glided down, the moon casting an almost shadowy appearance over her Dragon. Once he touched down though, his soft green eyes were enough to melt any creatures heart. Rarity reached out, hugging his neck while he carefully nudged her face. "Hello Spike. That was a surprisingly long week."

Turns out she only needed two days tops to get everything ready for her departure. Her shop would be looked after by her sister, Sweetie Bell. Rarity would stop by once in awhile with new designs for her to sell while she stayed mostly with Spike.

After their little exchange, Rarity backed off a bit and pointed towards the treeline. "I hope you don't mind, but a brought a friend. She just wants to take a few quick tests before we leave."

Spike seemed to stiffen a bit as Fluttershy walked out. Spike seemed to grow very weary while Fluttershy looked about ready to run. All that bravado of researching a Dragon went out of her when she saw one like this up close.
Rarity put a hand against Spike's face. "I trust her."

That seemed to calm Spike a little and soon Fluttershy managed to get enough courage to walk forward, soon standing with a few feet of the two. She shakily held up a hand to his snout, just inches away from him. She seemed to think he might bite her hand with how much she was shaking.

Spike cocked his head slightly before moving forward and letting her hand push against his snout. Fluttershy seemed to tense up before breathing a small sigh of relief. "Oh... Wow..."

Her wings seemed to extend out a bit and flutter before closing them against her back again. She took a deep breath and began to poke and prod the large Dragon. First starting with his chest. Fluttershy pushed her hand against him. "Hmm, hard yet smooth." Next she quickly moved to his arm. She slide her hand up and down it. "Fascinating. Complete mobility while still remaining hard a rock. Are the scales themselves flexible?" Spike seemed intrigued about this strange creature touching him everywhere but chose to let her do her thing. From Rarity's perspective, it seemed that Spike was enjoying the attention.

Rarity crossed her arms and smirked as Fluttershy when absolute science mode all over her Dragon. Spike happily allowed her where she needed to go. He did flinch when she got to his tail though. "Oh, slightly sensitive at the base? Does this tail have complete functionality? Does he have full control over its movements?"

Rarity opened her mouth to answer but Spike decided to answer for her. As Fluttershy bent down to examine his leg, he proceeded to whip his tail around and slap her in the ass. A small meep followed as Fluttershy did her best to keep her footing.

"YeP!" Her voice cracked. "Full control."

Spike seemed to smirk while Rarity rolled her eyes at him. That smirk soon vanished as Fluttershy reached out and touched his sheath. He seemed to stiffen a bit as Fluttershy ran her fingers over its edges. "A full reptilian sheath. Fascinating."

She got up and turned to Rarity. "Do you think he would mind if I took some samples? I just need some saliva, maybe a scale... Sperm would be nice too."

Spike seemed to perk up a bit at the last thing.

Rarity glanced back at him and gave a faux sigh. "Oh, if we must." In truth, she was planning on making love to him once they had gotten back to the cave. But it was kind of exciting to do it here, out in the open like this. Even if they were surrounded by trees. Not to mention, she had known Fluttershy long enough, it did not matter to her if she decided to do something like this in front of her. Besides, she had a sneaking suspicion that her friend was hoping for something like this.

Rarity reached down and slowly removed her sweatshirt, her breasts bouncing slightly at the release. Spike began to lick his lips, causing Fluttershy to quickly rush forward and catch a strand of saliva into a beaker. After capping it with a cork, she turned back, just in time to see Spike beginning to surround Rarity. Her pants now on the ground and his claws lovingly surrounding her body.

Rarity cooed at the warmth. It was a bit chilly tonight but his body made her forget all about that. Spike took the slightest nip against her shoulder. It wasn't enough to break the skin, just enough to leave a mark, almost like he was marking his territory.

Rarity smiled as she felt something grow and grind between her legs. Spike was warming up against her. He lowered himself down a bit, till Rarity was on her hands and knees. Rarity let out a slight moan. Then he reared back, and slowly began to drive himself into her. Rarity gave a small gasp as he began to stretch her. It had been a week, but still the large but warm feeling felt right at home with her now. She groaned while Spike sunk deeper.

Fluttershy felt the area grow slightly hotter as she unbuttoned her lab coat.

Spike moved himself back a bit, slowly his member left her entrance, causing her to stifle a bit. Only to cry out and he slammed himself right back into her again, much faster than before. Rarity cried out in a mix of pleasures. Quickly adjusting her body a bit, she began to moan heavily as Spike began to build up a steady rhythm. Slowly moving out before slamming back in. Each time, Rarity would gasp and moan.

Fluttershy felt herself practically tearing her lab coat open. Wings now stiff. Her pants were becoming damp and her face felt warm.

Spike roared as he began to pick up his pace. Rarity felt a bead of sweat run down her face as she wanted him to finish somewhat inside, but also remembered what she was here to do. "Spike... Please... Remember to give her some as well."

Rarity glanced up and saw that Fluttershy was shakily holding out a small jar. She smiled seeing Fluttershy like that confirmed to her just how much this was all turning her friend on. Rarity groaned again. "Sorry, dear... Oh... But you probably should... Ah... Brought a bigger jar..."

Spike seemed to agree with Rarity's thoughts as he too seemed to hesitate for a moment before removing himself and let out a small roar. Fluttershy leaned over and held out her jar near his purple spear. She had to suddenly put two hands over it to keep it in place had a torrent soon sprang from him. White liquid shot and quickly filled the jar, over flowing it. Suddenly Spike reared back slightly and the stream missed, splashing Fluttershy directly in the face and onto her breasts. Then the torrent ended, splashing what remained onto Rarity's back.

Fluttershy coughed and blinked. Spike moved back, allowing Rarity to sit up a bit. He still kept his arms around her but made it so she could sit and lean against his chest. His rod now resting against her back.

Rarity watched as Fluttershy tried to remove some of the cum from her face. "Sorry about that, probably should have warned you, he tends to cum a lot."

Fluttershy was silent for a moment as she took a bit from her cheek. She smell it and found herself licking her finger. "Hmm, sweet with a hint of spice. Fascinating."

She was breathing heavily and blushing considerably. Rarity took notice of this with a bit of a smirk. "Seems someone enjoyed their research a bit more than usual." Fluttershy blinked and glanced down at her topless body covered in spunk.

She winced but nodded. "It... Was kind of hot. Both figuratively..." She licked her lips, catching a bit more cum into her mouth. "And a literally."

Rarity glanced up at Spike who seemed to be amused at all of this. He glanced down at her and she seemed to want something from him. "Think you'd be willing to do one small favor for me?" She nodded towards Fluttershy. Spike seemed to contemplate this before looking down and giving her a friendly nudge with his snout. Rarity chuckled. "Good, then please lay on your back and let me take it from here."

Spike released his lover and slowly rolled onto his back. Rarity slowly rose up and looked back. "You know dear, if you wish to... Enjoy the research a bit more... You are more than welcome to do so."

She pointed Spike who was starting to grow stiff again. Fluttershy felt her jaw hit the ground. "R-really? I mean, I don't want to impose but... That is... IF you don't mind."

Rarity gave a small laugh. "Just get over her, I can smell your need from here."

Fluttershy practically tore her pants completely from her body and crawled over. She carefully looked over the massive spear, unsure if she could even take such a tool. Gulping, she reached out and gripped the meaty object. It was warm and still wet from earlier. Spike seemed to grow hard again at the touch.

Fluttershy positioned herself while Rarity knelt behind her. Taking another deep breath, Fluttershy slowly lowered herself, finding herself beginning to sweat as the member began to stretch her. She groaned and worked her way farther in, suddenly crying out as she felt him fill her entrance. "Oh... Wow."

Rarity crawled over to face her friend, lowering her entrance near Spike's face as she watched in quiet fascination. Spike, no longer wanting to just sit there, decided play with his mate a bit. Reaching his tongue out, he began to lick and prod at her entrance. Rarity gave out a low hum as Fluttershy gritted her teeth and finally managed to get the full thing all the way in. Then came the hard moan as she lifted herself up a bit and slammed herself back down.

Sweat matted her hair, dripping down her body as she began to lose herself. It was so warm. She began to work herself, up and down. Slowly impaling herself over and over again. Her eyes closed in concentration. Her breath coming out in gasps and moans. "Ah... Oh... Ah..." Fluttershy mumbled over and over again.

Rarity cupped her own right breast as Spike's tongue went deeper, already feeling an organism building. She was already spent from before. Fluttershy, finally felt she couldn't take it anymore. With one large push, she rammed herself hard against him and cried out. "AHHHhhhh..." Fluids began to slide down Spike, dripping onto his tail.

Fluttershy slowly pulled herself off with a small pop. Just as she did so, she heard Spike give a low growl as his member jolted. She looked down just in time to get hit with another torrent. White jizz splashed across her face and breasts. After a moment, it stopped. Fluttershy blinked as she felt white fluids drip down her body. She collapsed onto the Dragon's tail. Rarity gave a small coo as her own peak was reached. After Spike made sure to lick up his mate, she stood up, all be it shakily, and went to help Fluttershy up.

Fluttershy seemed to be in a bit of a daze but was able to stand. Rarity helped her gather up her stuff. "Did you learn a lot, dear?"

Fluttershy slowly nodded. "I... Will be sure... To contact you... With the results... Later. Gonna need a long shower first." She picked up her things and did her best to keep the white dragon seed off of it. It was pretty late so she was confident she could make it back without anyone seeing her. It wouldn't be the first time she took a midnight walk in the brisk. She gave a quick nod of thanks to Rarity.

With that, she slowly hobbled off into the woods while Rarity turned back to see Spike licking his mouth. "Well, I suppose that was a nice distraction. But we should really get back to your cave. I have a lot to set up..." Rarity put a finger to her chin. Her legs were starting to ache. "After a nice long rest I suppose." Rarity glanced down and picked up her sweater. She stared at it for a moment. "I suppose... This is the beginning of a new start for me. Maybe its best to start fresh." She casually tossed it into a bag, same with her pants and left them underneath a large tree. She wouldn't need it where she was going.

Spike glanced down at the bag of discarded cloth. He seemed to share the same sentiments. Looking at her happily and getting on all fours, ready to take off. Rarity lifted the rest of her things with her magic and saddled onto Spike.

A whole new life was beginning for her. Rarity felt a grin forming on her face. "My new life with my new lover... My Dragon. Spike. I can't believe it."

Rarity did her best to contain herself as Spike rose up into the clouds. The Magi, now too excited to care just how high up she was. Nor how cold it was. Her lover kept her warm as they flew to her knew home.

Rarity stopped to wipe a bit a sweat from her brow. She had just finished fitting together a sapphire necklace. One that she had been working on for days now. After taking a moment to admire her work, she tossed into a box and let out a long sigh of relief.

She turned and glanced around her room. It was a part of the cave sectioned off for her use. She had iron pot and stove for melding gold. A table and comfy chair for working. Several buckets full of gold nuggets and gems. A hammock for naps (tied between two stalagmites), though she preferred to sleep with her mate. Two pictures hung nearby of her family and of her friends. And a small shelf she had fashioned out of the crates she had brought with her filled with miscellaneous things to help get her by such as bathing, stuff for cooking, a few chunks of cloth and a cloak for those colder nights.

Her current ensemble was what she preferred to wear when she was here at her new home with Spike. A loincloth that showed off her leg right up to the hip and a loose cloth tide around her breasts. Sometimes not even that though. Lately, she had found herself getting more in touch with her wild side. Whether it was due to living with a Dragon out in the wild, or the excuse of being secure with a mate who can torch a Timber Wolf in seconds... Rarity found herself enjoying a freedom unlike any she had before.

The Gem Hunter took a deep breath and got up, about to see what her mate was up to when she heard a chirp above her. Looking up, she smiled as Zetaflare glided down and perched onto her chair. "Good afternoon Zeta, do you have something for me?"

The phoenix nodded and passed a letter strapped to her leg. Rarity reached out and took the letter, excited to see what Fluttershy had found. It had been almost two weeks now since Rarity discovered her exotic friend had some really exotic tastes. Zetaflare managed to track down Rarity at her cave and had been using her as way of keep up with things back at home. After all, when she did return home, it had only been a quick drop of. Maybe a quick hug from her sister before she was ready to leave and return to her and Spike's cave again. Her real home now.

She was surprised to realize how hard it was going to be to return regularly at this point. She was enjoying this more freeing lifestyle too much. It was like living in a dream now.

Learning how to live with a Dragon was an experience all of its own, on top off all that. Learning about how Spike hunted, did for fun, exploring the Everfree in their free time. It was all so exciting. Sure she enjoyed her gem crafting, it was her life's work. But there was just something so new and exciting to everything now.

Realizing she was getting lost in her thoughts, Rarity shook her head and opened the letter.

Dear Rarity,
I have some findings I am sure you will be more than interested in so I will get right to the chase.
1. Dragons, while exclusive to their mate, are open to a... Well, open relationship. Expanding the hoard would be my guess to this reasoning. While most animals aren't exactly monogamous creatures, Dragons do seem to have a preferred mate at the end of the day. We saw that he was willing to... Um... Let me ride him. So I am sure you already put that piece together on your own.
2. Dragons spunk seem to have aphrodisiac like properties when exposed to the open air. I'd rather not explain how I came to this finding but lets just say, best to be weary when covered in his seed.
3. Dragon saliva may have healing properties. I accidentally got some on a paper cut earlier and it looks like it has faded aside from some sensitivity. More research needed.
4. Finally, Dragons are very advanced when it comes to intellect. I'd probably put them somewhere around that of a dolphin or a dyrewolf. More research is needed though to determine at what exact degree.
5. Finally, I managed to find a bit more research on them thanks to a friend. Turns out, your mate has certain qualities not found in your average Dragon. I will be looking into this more very soon.

With best wishes and hope that you will be willing to by stop and let me learn more,
Fluttershy

Rarity looked up and saw Zeta was looking at her expectantly. "Ah, yes. I will be returning a letter. But I imagine that is not why you are looking at me like that." She reached over to a kettle sitting nearby. "Just brewed it less than an hour ago, it should still be hot." She poured it out into cup and set it in front of the phoenix who casually bent down and began to sip from it.

Rarity took out a piece of paper and dipped a quill in ink. She thought for a moment before responding.

Dearest Fluttershy,
I just got your letter. Thanks for the research. I will look for a time to meet again eventually. Right now, I am getting used to living out here and I must admit, it is hard for me to want to return as often. It is lovely out here and life seems to have become its own adventure. I am even getting better at not getting so nervous when Spike takes us out flying. He has shown me so much and I feel he still has more to show.

Good luck on your research,
Rarity

Rarity put down her quill. It was short. She wondered if she should say more but perhaps she could save that for later. Right now, her mind was wanting to get back and see what Spike was up to. She passed her letter back to the phoenix and gave a small wave. Zetaflare nodded and soon took off. After waiting till the bird was gone, Rarity turned in time to see Spike walking over to her, something grasped into his claw.

He opened it as he got near and Rarity felt her heart jump. It looked like an emerald but it glowed. As in, it actually gave off light of its own. He passed it to her and Rarity couldn't believe how warm it was. "Spike, this is incredible! Where did you get this?"

Spike seemed glad that Rarity was so excited. He gave her a friendly nudge with his snout. Rarity gave him a quick kiss and a hug in return. "I love it. This could make for some inspiring accessories. Could you take me to where you found these?" He got on all fours and raised his wings. He seemed very excited to show her.

Rarity turned and grabbed a small satchel. She then got onto his back and the two took off out of the cave and towards their destination. As Spike flew, Rarity did her best to keep her eyes on the clouds. Though flying was getting easier, she still wasn't there yet when it came to the whole height deal. Didn't help that her feet felt nothing but the passing air.

Spike flew a fair amount of ways until he finally set down in front of a large cave. Rarity got off and looked around. It seemed the entrance was covered in vines. If one did not know this was here, it could have been easily missed. Just as the Magi was about to take a step inside, Spike suddenly moved to stand directly behind her, standing up and looking as big as possible. He gave a loud growl at the edge of the woods surrounding them.

Rarity turned around, already feeling slightly worried. He hadn't growled like that since coming across a cockatrice during a recent Everfree exploration. Though he managed to scare it away, it was still a surreal thing to see her lovable Dragon get so tense. She looked up at him, then out into the brush. "Spike? What is it, dear?"

Then there came the cracking a wood and the low howls. She felt her heart sink. She knew those sounds all too well. A memory of a terrible creature flashed in her mind. A horrible run in that costed her plenty and almost her life. Only one type of creature likes to make those sounds...

Timber Wolves.

The edge of the darkened woods seemed to come alive as several pairs of green eyes suddenly appeared. More creaks and cracks could be heard as the wood enchanted wolves began to appear from the thick brush. Rarity counted six of them. Just one of them can be difficult but six? Rarity was more glad than ever that she now had a strong mate like a Dragon.

The Timber Wolf on the far left wasted no time in charging them. Spike readied himself but Rarity managed to catch the creature with her magic. The creature seemed to fight against her, moving about and making it hard to hold him. She gritted her teeth and hurled the creature at a nearby tree, breaking him into pieces on impact. She wished she could have done that the last time she had come across one. Sadly, it only works if they aren't expecting such an attack.

Spike looked back at Rarity and seemed to grin. She gave a him a quick nod. She would not be standing on the side like some damsel in distress. She had been taking care of herself just fine up till now, no reason to let that fighting spirit go to waste.

Two more came charging and Spike took lead on this one. Torching one with a strong fire breath and smashing the other with his tail, sending it flying and crashing back into the brush. The other four decided to rush at once. Rarity stood strong and braced herself, managing to grab two in mid air. Unlike the last time though, they were quick to break free, but seemed to land awkwardly, knocking them slightly off balance.

Spike took the opportunity to set the two ablaze while tail whipping one Timber Wolf into the other, smashing the two. Rarity picked up and chucked the now smoldering creatures off to the side, both no longer moving as they quickly turned back into regular chunks of the wood mixed with fading green ash.

Rarity sighed with relief. "Well, that was certainly a way to add a bit more excitement to the day." Spike turned back to her and appeared like he wanted to nudge her sweetly. Just before he could move, one of the Timber Wolves that had attacked earlier, the one that had landed in the brush, suddenly emerged and charged forward. Spike didn't have enough time to react as Rarity was now slightly more in the open.

Rarity felt her feet leave the ground as the Timber Wolf pounced and landed on top of her. The Magi was quick to grab the creature, hands glowing a hard blue, holding its face back as it tried to bite her. She felt one of its claws rake against her shoulder. She winced but soon felt the creature leave her as Spike grabbed hold and yanked the creature off of her.

He held down and erupted a mighty blast of green flame, searing the creature and quickly turning it to nothing but bits of wood and soot. Rarity let out the breath she realized she was holding and leaned her head back. "Oh... Wow... Ok... That was a close one."

Spike soon picked her up in his arms and began looking her over. Rarity felt a blush running across her face as Spike held her so close to his body. He soon spied the gash on her arm and began to lick it. Rarity wanted to push him away, to ask that she just go back and have it bandaged. But then the letter Fluttershy sent earlier came to mind.

She glanced at her wound and watched in silent fascination as it quickly healed, to the point there wasn't even a scar. Rarity traced the area with her finger and found it was only slightly sensitive. Other than that, it was fine. "Oh my... Thankyou, Spike."

Twice now she had been wowed. Both by her attack and followed by just how amazing her mate really was. Now only just scuffed up by some dirt, Rarity felt like perhaps a bath was in order. But then again, those glowing gems had to be close. Spike put her back onto her feet and Rarity did her best to brush herself off before looking back at the cave. With renewed vigor, she began to walk froward.

After walking for a few minutes, the cave becoming increasingly dark, Rarity stopped as a soft glow slowly entered her vision. As she turned a corner, her breath caught in her throat. A large pool with a small waterfall was currently in front of her. But not just that, the pool was covered in green gems along the bottom while soft blue glowing crystals covered the walls and ceiling. The soft sound of flowing water mixed with the otherworldly scene, it was like stepping into something out of a fantasy.

Then Spike walked up behind her gave her a friend nudge. She chuckled. "Right. Kind of living a fantasy too."

Rarity turned and gave her Dragon the biggest hug that she could, even kissed the edge of his snout. "Thanks again, Spike. This is incredible."

Now feeling her heart racing, Rarity turned and headed to the edge of the pool. It looked like it had a small drop off that got deeper as it neared the waterfall. The drop off was easily as tall as Spike was. The Magi smiled and dove into the water. To her surprise, it was very warm. She wondered in perhaps the glowing gems were at fault. They did seem to give off their own magical warmth.

Rarity held her breath and slipped downwards, swimming gracefully until she could reach one of the gems. Upon reaching one, she stopped and looked over the gem. She then concentrated a small point of magic from her finger, making it sharp. Sharp enough to easily cut rock. She then dug around the gem and dislodged it from the ground. It was glowing slightly brighter than even the one Spike had shown her earlier. Rarity, even more excited, stuck it into her satchel then swam up for air.

Upon breaking the surface, she moved her hair out of her face and glanced back at Spike who seemed memorized by the room. "Care to help a mate get some gems!" She called. Spike blinked and turned to her. Only to seemingly get memorized again. Rarity realized that she probably looked really sexy like this, covered in water, her hair down. She was in a pool also surrounded by gems. Would be the closest thing to a Dragon's wet dream.

She grinned and quickly untied her cloth covering her breasts. Her loin cloth was soon let loose as well. As her naked form came into view, Spike started to lick his lips. The Magi turned around but looked back seductively at him. "Help me gather some gems... Then I think a good reward is in order, don't you?"

Spike seemed to pant slightly while watching Rarity slip back into the deeper portion of the pool. Her ass coming into view for a few seconds as she dove back under the water. The Dragon blinked and soon his brain began to sputter like never before. With vigor, he quickly slipped into the water, splashing some of it around him as he did so. Rarity was currently working on removing a gem and turned, just in time to see Spike quickly swim over to her.

His claws were like lightning as he began to scoop up the gems. Dislodging them on strength alone. Rarity would have let her jaw drop had she not been holding her breath. Instead floating there and watching in silent fascination as Spike soon swam up to her, arms full of glowing gems.

Rarity held out her bag and nearly let go of it was Spike managed to fill it with everything he had found. Suddenly realizing a problem, Rarity struggled to get back to the surface with the now heavy bag in tow. Luckily, Spike seemed to notice this and was quick to swim up beside her, holding out his neck.

Rarity latched on and the two soon swam up and breached the surface. Rarity coughed and took in some precious air. Spike soon led her to the edge, allowing her to deposit her bag on the shore. The Magi quickly turned and hugged her Dragon tightly. "I really can't thank you enough Spike, these are going to make some incredible works of art."

Spike gave a warm growl that almost sounded like a purring noise. He then pointed his claw towards the waterfall. Rarity glanced over and noticed an odd glow coming from just below it. "Oh, is there something else here?"

Spike motioned for her to get on his back. He then seemed to suck in some air as Rarity's naked body soon clung to him. Judging from how tense he became, Rarity could only assume that this was really turning him on right now. But whatever he wanted to show her, seemed to take precedent at the moment.

Spike began to dip below the water and Rarity held her breath. She felt the water rushing around her as Spike began to swim towards the bottom, working his way under the waterfall and into a cavern hidden behind it. Inside, Rarity's eyes's grew wide as glowing small red heart shaped gems appeared all over the small area. Spike reached out and took a largest looking one. He then gave it to Rarity. Her eyes lit up as she felt the warm object seemed to slightly vibrate in her hand. It was about the size of her palm and seemed to glow slightly more with her touch.

If there was anything that would have caused her to want him any more than in that moment, this was that moment. Rarity hugged the wonderful looking gem close to her body before going back to clinging to her Dragon. As they quickly swam back, soon breaching near the edge of the pool, Rarity tossed the gem close to her back. She then got off and swam over so that she was facing him.

"Alright, I have told you this once before. But now I really mean it. After everything you have shown... Done for me. After everything, I am yours Spike. Forever yours. Now... I want you to ravish me. Take my body to your hearts content. Don't stop when you think I am done. I want you to understand that the love I have for you, goes well beyond anything my body can take. Please, I want to feel your love... ALL OF IT."

Spike nudged her face lovingly and soon his claws found there way to her ass. His feet now touching the base of the wall as he managed to find some grounding. Rarity glanced down and saw that he was indeed at full mast. He wasted no time it pushing his way on in, stretching out her tunnel and growling, though his eyes gave away his pure joy.

Rarity gasped. "That's it... Give it to me... All of it."

Spike pushed on, filling up her entrance as Rarity panted, a mix of pleasures shooting through her body. Then he hilted her and now began his domination. He began by rearing back before thrusting in hard against her. Rarity let out a yelp as his spear forced it way deep inside her, only to piston out. Then she gripped his arms as he barreled back in again. It seemed to happen in slow motion but Rarity soon felt her body rebound as water splashed around them. She moaned and gasped as Spike began to plow into her over and over again.

Gripping her as as he assaulted her flower, driving in and out, passionately roaring as he slammed deep into his mate and out again. Rarity's hair clung to her face, her mouth open is silent awe as she felt him ravish himself, over and over again.

"Yes... Right there... Harder... Faster... Don't stop!"

She just came.

Rarity felt it but that didn't matter. It was Spike who was here to enjoy himself. She would cum as many times as it takes. Spike gritted his teeth and shoved himself in as hard as he dared, causing the Magi to get thrusted against the rock wall. He let out a large roar as Rarity felt his Dragon seed shoot deep into her, filling her up.

"Oh Goddess..."

Rarity came again while Spike filled her to the brim. She could feel her stomach starting to bulge a bit. It was almost too much. But soon, she felt the rush begin to subside as Spike let out a warm breath against her face.

Rarity pushed her hair back and stared lovingly into her mate's eyes. He gave her a nudge with his snout and Rarity returned the affection with a kiss on the tip of his nose. She couldn't give him a real kiss like she wanted to without causing some difficulties, but she reached out and did her best to show how much she loved him all the same.

His flaccid member soon popped out of her and Rarity felt some of the fluid drain out. She let out a sigh, leaned back, glad that Spike was still holding onto her as she felt like she was going to pass out at any moment. Spike carefully lifted her out of the water and set her down gently at the shore.

He then got out and laid down next to her, cuddling her close with his wing. She soon felt her eyes grow heavy and darkness soon took her consciousness. The last thing she saw before slipping into sleep was Spike reaching out to hold her as closely as possible.

***

Rarity awoke the next morning feeling rather sore. She was now back at the cave; Spike having somehow managed to carry her safely back and bring all the gems they had gathered as well. She awoke in the bed he had made out of leaves, wrapped in the only blanket she had brought with her and a branch of berries nearby. She could only assume that Spike had gone out to hunt.

Rarity felt her stomach and sighed. She thought about Spike and how her life could go from here. Starting a family perhaps? But how would that even be possible? Could she give up on her Gem finding even for a few months? Or however long it would take to have his offspring? How would that ever work? She was sure that it was impossible for her to give him offspring. But then again, magic could make anything possible. Who could she go to for something like that?

She debated her old friend, The Goddess of Magic, Twilight... But she was probably busy up in Canterlot. Doubt she would know a spell like that anyways. Passing Celestia's test of magical creation and imagination made it possible for her to become the amazing Goddess she is today. But surely even she would struggle to find such a spell like this. Perhaps there is someone else?

So many questions and the only one she could think to go to was Fluttershy. Rarity sighed and brought out a pen and ink, ready to write her a letter when she remembered the Fluttershy did want her to visit. Maybe a surprise visit in a few days was in order. As Rarity pondered over everything she was going to ask, her eyes fell on the red glowing gem Spike had given to her. "First things first." She thought. "I think I know exactly what I am going to do with this."

Rarity looked over her reflection the pool of water inside her and Spike's cave. She was wearing a brown cloak and hood. Underneath it however, all she had on was her birthday suit. While Spike had managed to bring her back after their gem and loving making escapade that happened a few days ago, with gems and all, sadly, he forgot to grab her clothes out of the water. It wasn't much to begin with but it still allowed for some decency.

For some reason, returning to that location revealed a loss of said clothes, having most likely floated out on some outlet within the cave. Meaning that now she was just down to this cloak. Her other clothes that she would wear into town had also managed to become displaced. As much as she wanted to chalk that up to Spike playing some prank on her, she just couldn't bring herself to believe he would pull something like that.

More than likely, she had probably brought them along some trip and forgotten about them. So now it was just the cloak and hoping that would be enough. Today was the day, she was finally going to visit Fluttershy and hope that she had some answers for her about some of the questions burning in her mind lately. Or failing that, maybe someone who does. Fluttershy did say she had a friend that was more exotic than her, once.

Rarity checked her reflection again. The cloak did a decent enough job covering her body. So long as she was careful how she walked, the only thing anyone would see was some serious leg when she would take a step. She used some old bobby pins to keep the rest of it closed. She also grasped her new accessory. One that no matter what, she would always wear on her. A gift Spike had given her. That heart shaped ruby had been turned into a gold chained necklace. A sign that she would belong to him and he would always belong to her. Fluttershy's words echoed in her mind. "Dragon's tend to be open with their relationships."

"Spike can be as open as he wants to." Rarity said to herself. "But I will always hold to the fact that I will forever be his first."

Spike appeared behind her and gave a warm purr. Nudging the side her face with his snout. Rarity smiled and turned toward him. "Ready to go, my love?"

Spike raised his wings and Rarity quickly got on him. She winced, suddenly feeling slightly turned on due to how her lower dungeon grinded against her lover's lover neck. She did her best to ignore it as Spike began to rise, soon leaving the cave and gliding towards her old home. As they flew, Rarity suddenly remembered a bag she had left out on the edge of the Everfree. After waiting for a bit, scanning the forest, she saw an opening.

She leaned forward. "Wait Spike, land near that clearing, I need to grab something."

Spike nodded towards her and began to descend, soon touched down on the ground at the spot where she had made love to him not so long ago. Memories of that wonderful night flooded in and Rarity did her best to ignore just how much she wanted to enjoy some private time with her lover once again. Instead, she took a deep breath, got off of him and headed for a tree she remembered dropping off a bag near.

Her heart sank however as her eyes fell on the bag. Or to exact, where the bag should have been. Now there was just a rough patch in the grass where it had clearly been sitting for awhile before being moved. Rarity turned back to Spike. "Well, guess it goes to show why you don't just leave something in the forest. Let's just head to Fluttershy's, Spike... Uh, Spike?"

Spike was currently watching the edge of the forest, his eyes tracking something. The Magi raised her hands, squinting as something caught her eye. There was someone watching them. That someone seemed to quickly catch on that she had been seen and slowly walked out into the clearing, careful with each step. Her bare feet seemed to glide across the grass while her eyes remained locked on Spike.

She wore an old and frayed looking cloak. It was hard to see much of her but Rarity could make out that she was most likely of Zanzabra decent, due to her eyes, bits of long white and black hair poking out from just past her hood, and marking just barely seen past the cloak. But what was she doing so far from home? The Zanzabra people tended to isolate themselves from the rest of the work. Rarity only knew about them due to passing rumors about their strange magical properties.

As she neared, she began to do something with her hands. Was she weaving a spell?

Rarity quickly dismissed that. There was no glowing, no signs of a spell taking shape. But she was clearly doing something. Her hands seemed to moving in some sort of pattern. Also her arms were moving in a certain way. The way that she looked at Rarity to, like she was trying to say something.

Wait...

Was that sign language?

Rarity wracked her brain. She dealt with a mute customer in the past and picked up quite a bit from her. Rarity concentrated and recognized the praise: Do you sign? Being repeated over and over. Almost in a slight pleading look as she kept glancing up at Spike who still remained tense.

A flood of memories of her old musician client teaching her sign language began to fill her mind as she raised her own hands. Yes, but only fair amount.

The Zanzabra woman lowered her hood and smiled. Her irises glowed a soft green. Her hair was long and straight with streaks of white and black that looked natural as far as Rarity could tell. Her skin tone showing that she was in deed from a far off land but damn, did she have such a beautiful face. Her complexion and face showed strength yet intense beauty. I mean you no harm. She signed.

"Well that's good." Rarity said out loud. Then internally slapped her forehead. "Wait, are you mute or deaf?" Then mentally slapped her forehead again and did her best to sign what she had just said.

The Zanzabra woman shook her head. Neither.

Rarity cocked her head slightly. Suddenly, she remembered Spike was currently still in defense mode as he seemed to grow tenser with each step the woman took. Rarity laid a hand on his face. "Hey, she seems safe."

Spike seemed to go soft at her touch and sat down. Though he did keep his eyes fixated on the mysterious woman. Suddenly, the woman glanced at the sky and then quickly back to Rarity. She raised her hand and pointed to the sky, then signed: I have to go. She reached into her cloak and tossed Rarity a piece of old parchment. She caught it before glancing back up at her new mysterious friend who was slowly backing away. Come find me when you are ready. I want to know more about you and your friend.

Rarity smiled. "He's my mate actually."

This seemed to visibly astonished the woman who glanced between the two. She quickly signed. It would seem I have quite the visit to look forward to. She smiled, looking particularly excited.

She then quickly turned and soon vanished into the thick of the forest. Rarity leaned against her lover, trying to piece together what exactly had just transpired. After moment, she looked up at Spike. "Wonder what that was all about?"

Her Dragon seemed to remain fixated on the edge of the forest, seemingly lost in thought.

***

"You met Zecora?!" Fluttershy exclaimed, her tea spilling onto the ground.

Rarity and Spike had shown up just ten minutes earlier, finding Fluttershy outside enjoying a cup of tea. She was more than excited to see them, quickly having Thundaga bring them out more tea cups including a large one for Spike. When she mentioned her meeting with a strange woman, Fluttershy quickly stood up, surprised.

She adjusted her robe, they were outside after all and there was a small chance someone could walk past, making sure it was still holding. After tightening it a bit, she sat back down. She lived at the far edge of town, but that did not mean she didn't have her close calls on those rare occasions. Rarity was doing her best to make sure her own cloak remained close to her body as well.

Fluttershy quickly poured herself a new cup. "She almost never approaches anyone. It was only by complete accident with some poison joke that I managed to stumble upon her. Slowly turning into a willow tree, I wasn't in the best of shape. She took pity on me and helped me with a cure. It took several months before she felt she could trust me enough to let me come and visit from time to time. Though we have become good friends ever since."

Rarity took a sip of her tea. "So why does she chose to sign, exactly?"

Fluttershy chuckled. "The Equestrian language was very difficult for her. Didn't have quite the baseline of old Ponish like we have. In the end, she had an easier time picking up on hand motions. I knew a bit of Zanzabra and with some books on the subject, I was able to teach her our language through it."

Fluttershy took another sip. "Its not just that though. She believes words have powers. Its possible incantations are tied closely to the Zanzabra language but that's just a theory though. I know little when it comes to magic, especially Zanzabra magic."

Rarity leaned back in her chair. "She seems like an interesting woman." She took another sip of her tea before setting in down, sighing. "Ah... But that's not why I came here to talk to you about."

Fluttershy cocked her head slightly. "Is there something going on between you and Spike?"

Rarity scratched the back of her head. "Well... You see, I was... Sort of... Thinking about starting a family with him."

Spike let out a bit of a purring noise as he downed the rest of his cup. Fluttershy glanced between the two. "Oh... OH!"

Rarity nodded. "Any chance you might know of a way to make that happen?"

Fluttershy stared at her cup for a moment before sighing. "Sorry. I really don't. In all my research, very rarely have I come across anything being able to cross that barrier. Your biology is just too different. I don't think its possible at all!"

Rarity waited. She knew there was more. She could feel it.

"But... There may be a chance. It may be fate that you managed to meet Zecora like you did. Seeing as how she may be able to help you."

The Magi quickly stood up. "Does she have something that could make this happen?" Spike looked at Fluttershy intently, his cup grasped firmly.

Fluttershy sighed. "Maybe. Maybe not. I can't say for certain. But I do know that her people learned about the ways of Nature Magic that far exceed anything Equestria has managed to produce. It would be your best shot."

Rarity quickly adjusted her cloak. "Right, we should head out as soon as possible, ready to go Spike?"

Fluttershy through up her hands. "Wait, hold on! Won't do you much good to go now."

Rarity glanced back at the woods and then to her timid friend. "What? But, why?"

Fluttershy took a deep breath. "Sorry, if you saw her that means she is probably out looking for materials for her brews. She won't be back till the evening and may be too tired to help you right away. Your best bet is to catch her tomorrow afternoon. She'll be working on her mixes all day anyways."

Rarity sat back down. "I suppose you would know her best..." She let out a long sigh. "Alright."

Fluttershy smiled and then glanced over at Spike. "You know, you two are more than welcome to stay the night here. You will have much less to travel and... Well... I was hoping... To um..." Her face turned light red. Rarity glanced over at Spike and then her friend.

"Ah... That's right. You wanted to get more research done, didn't you?"

Fluttershy felt her face light up more. "Y-yes. I have just the place. W-would you follow me. I have a special pool out back. I am sure both of you could use a warm bath."

Fluttershy got up and motioned for the two to follow her. Her stride had suddenly become more tense.

Rarity seemed quite amused while Spike appeared to be watching her move intently, like a predator carefully watching its prey. Rarity gave him a quick jab. "Hey, make sure you don't go too crazy, I want to enjoy this bath too."

Spike seemed to smirk as the two soon rounded the corner and came upon one of the most interesting looking pools Rarity had ever seen. It was large, had steam wafting off of it, surrounded by rocks and was fed by a small waterfall of flowing hot water.

"I had this commissioned so that any large creature coming to visit could enjoy a peaceful bath. Should be more than large enough for us two and Spike."

Fluttershy began to untie her robe while Spike quickly went up to the side of the pool. He dipped his claw in, seemed satisfied with the temperature, before leaning in and slipping into the bath with a small splash. He let out a small purring noise as he rested close to the mini-waterfall. Rarity smiled and quickly threw off her cloak.

Fluttershy chuckled as her friend began to test the water with her foot. "It seems I am not the only one getting into less is more."

Rarity glanced back at her friend who was gesturing to her own nude body. Rarity rolled her eyes. "Sort of. Its more like I lost my clothes and this is all I have... Though I suppose my usual ensemble doesn't leave much to imagination."

She let out a small coo as she began to work her way into the large bath. It was very warm, easily the largest bath she had ever been in, it was incredible. As she now stood in the pool whose water ran up to her neck, she waded over and sat across from Spike.

Fluttershy soon slipped into the bath, making her way over to Spike. The Dragon was currently in a sitting position but leaning back against the side of the bath, looking content. He watched at the Avian made her way over, resting her hands upon his chest, her breasts squishing against his body.

Fluttershy could feel his member begin to work its way out. She smiled and began grind her slit against him, making sure it got to full length. As she grinded against him, Rarity watched with an amused look on her face. "Fluttershy?"

"Y-yes?" Fluttershy answered, her eyes closed in concentration as she worked harder against Spike's wonderful spear.

"I don't suppose you have any clothes you'd be willing to lend me, do you?"

Fluttershy let out a small moan. "I don't have much... AH! But... I might have something you can... Use..." Fluttershy reached down and began to line up his cock with her entrance. She bit her lower lip as she began to lower herself onto him. Spike leaned back a bit, allowing Fluttershy to rest against him more.

She cupped her right breast with her hand as she began to lower herself, driving deeper as she exhaled. "Oh... My... I've missed this!" Taking a deep breath, she managed to hilt herself fully. Now able to compensate with the feeling, she began to work herself up, before quickly slamming back down again. Spike let out a bit of steam through his nose as Fluttershy let out a soft moan. "Ohh... Yesss."

Rarity watched in amusement, wishing that her mate maybe had two of those wonderful appendages. But she would have plenty of time to enjoy herself with him later. This was Fluttershy's special time with him.

Fluttershy gritted her teeth as she began to pick up the pace. Gasping and moaning as she began to work herself up and down. Thrusting harder and harder. Grasping her right breast in one hand while using the other for leverage. Water splashed around her as she cried out. Spike gave a soft purr at the feeling. Her wings were currently at full mast, fanning the steam around them.

She gave a sudden yell as she lurched forward, smashing her breasts against his chest as she could feel herself about to tip over the edge. He was so warm and so big. And it had been far too long.

With one last long hard moan, she pushed herself down as far as she could go and felt her body spasm. "Oh Goddess... YESSssss." She just came... Hard.

She fell back, leaving Spike to reach out and catch her. Her Dragon seemed slightly miffed and wondered if perhaps he was not able to cum himself. She made a mental note to let him give her a good, hard rutting later. But for now, she knew she was going to need her strength for the hike that was going to take place tomorrow. No way she was going to be able to follow that map from the air without missing something.

As Spike gently lifted Fluttershy off of him and set her down on the edge of the bath, he turned back to Rarity looking fairly needy. She shook her head. "Sorry my love, I've seen that look and I'm gonna need these legs working right tomorrow. But I promise you, I'll let you have your way with me after we visit Zecora. I'll even let you go rough as you want."

He seemed slightly disappointed but looked excited for a good rutting later, at the very least. Rarity waded over, gripped his arm. "Lets just enjoy the quiet bath for now, we have quite the journey ahead of ourselves. I hope she will be able to help us."

Spike nudged his lover and Rarity smiled back. She then glanced back at the unconscious Fluttershy. "Let's enjoy this just a bit longer, then maybe help her inside. I'm sure Thundaga can whip us up a hearty meal as well."

Spike seemed to nod as Rarity looked one last time towards the Everfree, thoughts about the future now running once again, throughout her mind. As Spike wrapped his wing around her though, she felt herself begin to calm. Her eyes glazing as she slowly drifted deeper into the bath, letting the warm water soak away the worries for now.
