The Vows That Seal the Deals

Spark Wave had been working with Spike and Rarity at Carousel Boutique for quite some time in the past few months, during that time, Spike had been growing more to the part where he was near Rarity's height. But later on as the months rolled by, he discovered that even though business was going smoothly, the rate of pay wasn't good. So in order for things to go a little smoothly, he had to make a decision that would benefit him and his soon-to-be former co-workers.

"Rarity, listen." Spark says.

"What is it, darling?" Rarity asks.

"I'd like you to read this." Spark Wave then showed a piece of paper to Rarity. She got a hold of it using her magic and revealed that it was his letter of resignation.

"Spark Wave, darling! Why do you want to resign?" she asks.

"Because I've noticed that even though your orders have been going well, the pay is getting rather diffcult to make with the three of us here, so to make things better for you and your business. I'm going to resign from the Boutique." Spark explains.

"Wait, you don't have to do that, buddy." Spike implies. "If it helps, I'll resign."

"No, Spike. I don't think it's a good idea for you since you offically became an employee last month. I've been working here for several months now and I have to find a new job. I'll even resort to free lancing if I have to. Besides, it just wouldn't suit you or your special somepony if you left her here just for my sake. You love her a lot and she loves you. There's no need for you to throw away your happiness just so I can stay and work another day here. There are plenty of jobs out there, even though they'll be tough to get into." Spark explains.

"Are you sure about this, darling?" Rarity asks again.

"Yes, Rarity, I'm positive. But I thank you for letting me be of service to you and Spike." Spark says. He was about to leave through the front door until Spike intervened.

"Hey listen, why don't you finish up for today and then you can go? You do need as much bits as you can." It only took two seconds for Spark Wave to turn back to them and gave a final nod.

"Alright, but after I finish up for today, I'll bid you farewell as a Carousel Boutique employee." Spark said.

The work, as usual, was progressing rather well. Spike had been checking off the list of things needed to make some of the suits and dresses that had been ordered, while Spark Wave was gathering the items at a brake neck pace. Rarity, of course, has wasted no time in putting each piece of cloth, jewelry, and some pieces of silk together. The day went on smoothly until finally Spark Wave's final shift had ended and gave Spike and Rarity one last good-bye as their now former Carousel Boutique employee.

"Thank you so much for everything you've done for us, Spark Wave. It saddens me to see one of my employees have to leave when times are grim, but just know that even though we have to part ways business-wise, we'll be there for you like true friends." Rarity explains warmly to Spark Wave, giving him a hug.

"We really enjoyed having you around with us, buddy." Spike implies, patting Spark on his back.

"I'm very grateful to you both as well. I know I wasn't an employee for too long at Carousel Boutique, but at least I got some pretty good experience from all of this." Spark says. "Spike, Rarity...thank you very much for all of your support." With that last word, Spark Wave turns around and walks outside the doors of Carousel Boutique, his now, old job.

When he was walking home, his mind was set on his marefriend, who, in his opinion was as she always put it, "20% cooler" than any other mares out there. He planned ahead and bought a nice gift for her, but he had to wait a while before presenting it to her, since he felt it was unwise to rush things. He felt exhausted from the work though, so he decided to turn in for the night. He headed back to the apartment for some well deserved rest.

When Spark Wave reached the front door, he got slammed into the ground, causing him to lose conciousness. He woke up 10 minutes later to find out he was in his bedroom with his friend, Eternal Flames and Rainbow Dash.

"Eternal, what the hell just happened?" Spark asked, placing his hoof over his forehead.

"I think she should be able to tell you. I'll leave you two alone." Eternal then disappeared behind the door.

"Heheh, sorry there, Sparkster. I kinda accidentally lost control when I was trying out my Filly Flash again. But thanks for braking my fall, even though you probably weren't aware." Rainbow said nervously.

"Yeah, I wasn't aware, but thank Celestia that I was there to brake your fall. I don't care if I brake my own back, as long as you can still use those trusty wings of yours." Spark said, smiling at the rainbow maned, pony.

"See, that's one of the other reasons why I like you. You're pretty loyal in your own way." Rainbow said, slightly elbowing his hoof so he doesn't hurt him too much.

"Tch, if anypony is loyal around here, it's you, Ms. Element of Loyalty." Spark replies with a wink, making her blush.

"You stud, you're gonna pay for that." Rainbow chuckles.

"Not before I tell you something that I think you'll end up getting me back at even more." Spark retorted.

"Like what, stud?" Rainbow asked. Spark Wave didn't say a word and instead got off his bed and opened his top drawer to take out a necklace gold necklace with her cutie mark on it.

"Like this. Rainbow Dash, I want you to know that you're more than just 20% cooler than other mares. To me, ever since we hung out and started dating, you've offically become 100% cooler than any mare in all of Equestria. So I want ask you this one thing that I've been dying to say throughout these past few months." Spark says, kneeling down to his fangirling mare as she was rapidly flapping her wings up and down with so much joy.

"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!!!" She exclaimed.

"Rainbow Dash, would you like to marry?" Spark asks.

"I WOULD LOVE TO MARRY YOU!!!" Rainbow then had her necklace placed on her by Spark. "Hey, how'd you know this necklace was going to make me look 20% cooler? It's awesome!" She asks, admiring the necklace around her neck.

"It was just a lucky guess on my part, sweetness." Spark said. "So, how does 3 months from now sound for our big day?" Spark asks.

"First off, I say that's plenty of time and 2nd...COME HERE, SPARKSTER!!!" Rainbow shouted. "You still owe me for making me blush earlier with that little winking trick, you stud!" Before long, she began to pull in Spark Wave and slammed her lips onto his and even thrusted her tongue inside of his mouth, catching him off-guard.

Let's hope she doesn't do this after we've said our vows. But if she does, I'll bare with it. Spark said in his mind.
