Spike nervously tapped his claws against each other as he walked his way down to the Town Square, he recently just sent a letter to Rarity telling her it was of urgent business, and that they needed to see each other at the fountain. He was finally gonna do it, he was going to confess his feelings for her, though it may be obvious the way Spike would swoon over her sometimes, still she had to hear it.

'Oh... Maybe I should've done this another day,' Spike thought to himself, getting cold feet about it, but sucked it up. He sent the letter so he knew he had to stand up and admit it, he couldn't just stand her up after telling her to meet up with him, 'C'mon Spike, think of how happy you'll be if this works out, and if not you can just forget about her... I hope.'

He stopped as he neared the fountain, there she was as beautiful as ever, her luscious white coat, her majestic purple hair. She looked nervous though, chuckling half heartedly to herself, eyes darting all around, and wearing that fake smile as though trying to blend into the area, even though nopony was around. Spike sucked in his courage and approached her, ready for rejection or acceptance. She noticed him, wincing for a brief moment as if her heart skipped a beat.

"I have to tell you something. Ever since I first met you in Ponyville, I always thought you were... just so amazing. Your beauty was a-and still as more striking as anypony I've ever met, from your hair to your hooves I knew I fell in love with you. And this entire time I've been hiding it, even though s-sometimes the occasional affection may show, making it p-pretty obvious. I just can't help it though, the feelings I have for you just... sometimes seep through my own being and I have to show so I don't explode. I know I'm too young to be seen with you, l-let alone since I'm a dragon, but if not now t-then I hope that some day you... give me a chance?" Spike finished, exhaling with quavering breath, feeling as though that confession took a life time. Rarity didn't know how to react, confusion and hundreds of different emotions overcame her.

"Spikey?" a feminine voice asked. Spike knew only one pony called him by that name, he turned around, seeing yet another beautiful white maned pony, looking exactly like Rarity! He snapped his head back again to see the same Rarity he confessed too, staring intently at the other Rarity. He snapped his head around several more times, trying to process just what was going on! "Spike, do you know who this pony is and why she looks exactly like me?! Is this why you sent me that letter?" Rarity asked. "Unbelievable, she couldn't even get my curls right."

"N-no I was going to-" Spike tried to explain, but was cut off but a hoof wrapping around his mouth. This hoof had such a weird pattern to it, with holes in the leg, he tried to turn his head, quickly making out a changeling, of course, that's why it looked so much like Rarity, the changeling morphed into her image! But how did it know her if she wasn't there earlier?...

"It seems here that this little cutie proclaimed his love to me, I like him so much I just might keep him." she said pulling Spike closer to her.

"You give me back my Spikey this instant!" Rarity demanded. With that the changeling quickly ascended upwards, flapping her bug like wings rapidly as she flew off into the forest.

"With the love you output I can feed myself forever with such affection. I've been feeling rather lonely and hungry as of lately," she chuckled. Strangely enough this laugh wasn't maniacal or intimidating, but actually happy. Or maybe Spike was just thinking nonsense since he wasn't getting enough air, he squirmed around in her arms, she never released her grip around him though, slowly he felt himself getting weaker as he fainted in her arms.

Twilight sat in her Lobby, levitating books off her shelf and reorganizing them. She laid with a warm smile on her face, "I simply love book reorganizing day. Maybe I can even find that one particular romance novel I misplaced, a pony can only hope!" Rarity barged into the library, disrupting Twilight's spell as all the books toppled onto the floor, littering the ground with books. "Rarity, what's wrong?"

"Of all the worst things that could happen, this is the worst possible thing!"

"You say that about everything. Last night you said that because you forgot to get conditioner for your shower.

"That was a very awful thing though darling. B-but that's besides the point, Spike has been kidnapped by a changeling!"

"What!? Where did it take him, and how did it get into Ponyville?" Twilight asked, her brow furrowed

"The changeling was disguised as me, I don't know where she took him, she probably hauled him off to enslave him or something! And the way she looked, you could tell it was me but my god the posture and her hair..." Rarity quivered. "Can't you send a letter to the Princess or something?"

"The only way I could do that is with Spike, and now that I hear he's kidnapped, letters are off the table. The only way I can get a letter to her is personally flying there, and I still don't feel comfortable using my wings, especially for that long a flight. We'll just look for him together." Twilight bravely announced.

"My Spike, in the hooves of some dirty changeling. Who know's what they're doing to him by now!"

"Rarity." Twilight said softly.

"It's my fault, I should've told him to step away the moment I thought she was a changeling." she said, babbling to herself.

"Rarity! Get a hold of yourself!" Twilight said shaking the delusional pony, "Listen, Spike will be fine, we're going to ask around to see if anyone else has seen a changeling fly over head recently, and we'll find him and handle it together, alright?" Rarity nodded, shaking slightly with a pouted lip. "Alright, let's go get him back."

Author's Note

Just a simple thought of Spike confessing to Rarity and throwing a Changeling into the mix. I was planning on making this a one off with a funny ending, but I kinda feel like making it into a little story now .

To those who've already read this, I had to revoke it because the state it was in. It was quickly written, hardly proof read, and had Rarity out of character. I didn't exactly have time to work on it when I realized how shoddy of a job I did, nor did I want anyone reading it until fixed. Though it's now posted again, and (hopefully) more readable than before. If anyone's interested in becoming a proofreader, please contact me through FimFic messaging.

Hope you enjoyed the story, please remember to like if you liked it, or to dislike if you didn't like it. That way others can see if it's any good or not. Which it really isn't... heheh...
