Do Dragons Do Holidays?
Goldigony looked around the canteen as she and Spike shared another holiday meal together.
"Are you okay?" the purple-colored dragon asked as he chewed upon a mixture of gems and vegetables he had messily shoved into his mouth.
"...," the green-colored, blue-eyed dragoness said nothing in reply to Spike. However, she did let out a long sigh as her eyes continued to notice just how empty the canteen was. On any given day of Magic Kindergarten, the canteen was filled with a colorful collection of young ponies who made so much noise that Goldigony could barely hear herself think. Weekends left the canteen a lot less populated as most of her fellow students stayed back at their homes within Equestria's capitol city of Canterlot.
"Goldigony?" Spike asked with concern. "Do you have a tummy ache?"
"...," Goldigony sighed softly in response. She then placed one of her hands against her head as she stared up towards the artificial lights that illuminated the canteen. She knew about holidays that ponies celebrated and how pony holidays often meant even fewer of her fellow classmates would be in the canteen than she would expect to see on a Saturday, or Sunday. However, today, the normally outspoken dragoness felt as if the only two creatures left in the school were herself and Spike.
TAP-TAP
""Goldigony...?" asked a very nervous Spike after he had decided to get up from his seat, walk over to his friend, and attempt to make sure she was okay.
"...," Goldigony sighed as she continued to stare blankly at the canteen's ceiling.
SNIFF-SNIFF
SCHLIP
STRETCH
SCHWI-SNIP
Spike would not ever dare to try to check if Goldigony had made a mess in her diapers, but her occasional sighs, hums, lack of movement, and blank stare towards nothing in particular made him think she may just be getting out what both she and Spike had just begun to learn was stuff meant for the potty and not the seat of their diapers.
CLASP
SWISH-SWISH-SWISH!
"MINE!" roared Goldigony as she quickly took the milk-filled bottle that Spike had picked up from her side of the table and went about shaking its warm contents in front of her face.
THUK-THUK-THUK
GULP
THUK-THUK-THUK
GULP
Whatever had been making Goldigony not feel and act like herself had been completely resolved by the warm, sweet, and creamy taste of the milk that the green-colored dragoness was eagerly nursing from the bottle to fill her tummy.
SLAM!
"MORE!" she demanded upon slamming down the, now, empty bottle.
"...!" Spike gulped as his friend's outburst caused him to wet his diaper out of both fear and surprise. "Coming right up!"
PIT-PAT-PIT
GRAB
CRINKLE-RUSTLE
PAT-PIT-PAT
SNATCH!
Goldigony wasted no time in taking the full bottle of milk that Spike had offered to her from his side of the table.
"Okay...," said Spike as he anxiously rubbed his hand through the emerald-colored head spikes upon his head. "I'll just go and see if Twilight, or Celestia, can help make more bottles for you."
THUK-THUK-THUK
GULP
"Be right back!" Spike panicked as he realized how much more he had wet his diaper out of concern over his friend's ferocious appetite for fresh, warm milk from the bottle.
***
Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia watched as each bottle they gave to the toddle-waddling Spike was quickly consumed by Goldigony. It was if the blue-eyed dragon had not had anything to eat in days.
"I have a theory," the Alicorn princess suggested to her purple-coated pupil. "Do allow me to take Goldigony for the rest of the day. I think she, despite always insisting against it, could benefit from some 'Mother & Daughter' time."
THWUP-THWUP!
"I need," gasped Spike as his wet diaper had begun to slide down and slap against his thighs as he ran between Goldigony and Twilight. "I need another bottle!"
"Allow me, Spike," Princess Celestia said in a soothing tone as she magically gathered the remaining bottles into Goldigony's diaper bag. "You and Twilight go enjoy the rest of the day with Twilight's family while I show Goldigony some much needed tender loving care."
Spike looked to his friend, who was almost done with her fifth bottle, before racing to have Twilight lift him onto her back.
"Okay...," the purple Unicorn replied as she tried not to feel grossed out by Spike's wet and droopy diaper smooshing down upon her back. "We'll see you back when school starts back up after the holiday."
Princess Celestia nodded as she headed towards where Goldigony was now impatiently waiting for another bottle of warm milk.
"I think we will have much to discuss when we next meet with our young, dragon friends," she stated with a smile . "I've honestly been looking forward to an opportunity to show a mother's love to Goldigony and, over the next few days, I feel she will see exactly why Spike loves to spend his time with you."
NOTE: The inspiration for this story comes from the season eight episode of MLP: FiM entitled, “The Hearth’s Warming Club”. The tales of cultural celebrations over the holidays by ‘The Student Six’, notably Gallus and Smolder. It was these two that, with Sweetie Lover’s permission, I created this hypothetical situation for his OC, Goldigony. Unlike Spike, Goldigony was ‘found’ by ponies in a forest just outside of The Dragon Lands. So, for her, celebrating any major holiday that ponies celebrate together may not come as easily as it did for Spike.
