The Rainbows Of Spike

What is a monster?

A monster is a villain right?

No, a monster is something big, something scary, something that means harm to others.

Getting closer.

A monster is something that kills, and lives of the thrill. A monster has no regrets, and want's everything to himself, like a greedy monster he is.

Almost there.

A monster is something that has already given pain someone, and seeks to give more. A monster only stands for itself, killing others that gets in it's way, friendly, or not.

A monster is-

“Me.”

Spike was walking down along a dirt trail road, walking in shame.

“They... were right Cole, I chose to yell at Twilight, I chose to not go back, I chose to be a monster, and a monster, doesn’t deserve anything, that's why you're gone, right?”

Spike was only met with silence.

Only the silence to be to be filled with a chuckle from the drake.

“I still remember how we met Cole. I was just working, when I heard you in my head, wondering what was going on, and how you were in some kind of dark room, since then you've been helping me. But not to the end it seems, I don't blame you, who would want to stay with a... monster.”

Soon the silence return, as the dragon kept travelling.

And we know where all monster go to.

Truth be told, Spike could easily get to where he was going by flying, but he chose to walk, wanting to delay his fate.

But no matter how much you delay it, fate will come no matter what, and Spike was soon to become what he was meant to be,

a monster.

“Hey Spike!” Rainbow Dash called, as she was nearing the lonely drake.

Not now.

Spike ignored her, as he kept on walking, clearly hoping she would take the hint.

Rainbow knew something was wrong, Spike was never the one to ignore.

Oh no, did something happen between him and Twilight?

She landed right next to him, as she once again tried to make contact.

“Hello? Equestria to Spike?”

She's not going to leave me alone, is she.

“Yes Rainbow?” Spike answered, clearly annoyed.

“What do you mean yes Rainbow? I've been calling your name.”

Spike let out a small sarcastic chuckle. “Sorry, I guess it seems I didn't hear you.”

What's up with his attitude? Even in his state, he would never be like this.

“Spike, what's going on with you? You're never like this. Did something happen with you and Twilight?” Rainbow moves closer to the dragon, hoping that just maybe, he need to a shoulder to lean on. That is, if she didn't buckle under his enormous weight.

And she dives right in.

“Just leave me alone Dash.” Dash quickly trotted in front of him, cutting his path off.

“No Spike! I hate seeing my friends down, and I plan on doing whatever I can to help them, I'm your friend Spike.”

Spike stopped walking, with a major problem in front of him.

“Dash, I just need some time alone.”

“Then let me be with you Spike, you don't need to be alone on this one. You can just be by yourself, and I'll be nearby, and if you need anything, I'll be there. I'm not leaving you hanging on this one Spike.” Rainbow wore a confident grin across her muzzle, showing she wasn't giving up this easily.

Spike couldn't take it much longer, he just wanted to leave, and his monster part of himself, the part he didn't create, was now about to be unleashed.

“Yes you can! You did it all dose times before! Why now of all times do you decide to care for me? All those times you would pick on me, all those times you would make fun of me because I was a baby dragon. That sounds very familiar to a certain filly named Rainbow Crash!”

“Spike...” Rainbow whispered quietly, as she brought her head down in shame, a tear on the brink of escape.

“I think I finally figured it out, all of it out. Twilight and Rarity just finally put them.ast puzzle,piece into place. The only reason why you wanted to be friends with me, the only reason why anyone would want to be friends with me, is because they fear me!”

“I don't fear you Spike. If anything, I lov-”

“You do fear me!” Spike yelled, not letting her finish. “You all knew what I could become, a monster. What I could do when I finally became one, all of you caught a glimpse that day, and because of that, you knew I was nearing what I was destined to be, a monster.”

“No Spike!” Rainbow yelled, finally raising her head to the drake. “I finally found out how bad a friend I-”

“Your not my friend Dash, you never were. All those times you would ask, I never said yes, I always just nodded. We never were friends, and we never will be.”

Spike! What on Equestria are you doing? I come back from-

Buck off Cole.

Dash slightly lowered her head, as well as her eyes.

As a single tear fell.

Spike noticed the tear, he watch roll down her face, then fall to the ground.

His anger, this monster that was inside of him, just burned out, as sorrow over took his body, as he realized what he had done.

He made Rainbow Dash cry.

Before he could talk, before he could even move, Dash spoke.

“You're wrong Spike,” Dash head shot up, looking him the eyes. Spike saw the pain he caused in her rose eyes. “I never thought of you as a monster, I knew that you would turn out to be a good dragon, but not this.”

She trotted close to him, not removing eye contact.

“I've done a lot of pain to you, to which I'm eternally sorry. But I've never feared you, until now.” She finally removed eye contact to him, as she walked to the side of him.

“Ever since I pinned you that day, I started feeling different about you, and ever since then, I've tried to be the best friend I can towards you.”

Dash finally started trotting slowly away from the drake, but she still had words for the dragon.

“You never viewed me as a friend, and since that day, neither have I. I viewed you as a lover, as someone who saw the real side to me, as well as my other side. Someone I could trust, someone who I could share everything with, and not have it used against me. I saw you as a dragon friend, and I was beginning to think maybe you saw me as a mare friend." Rainbow paused and faced Spike, making sure that he was looking in her eyes for this one.

"But I guess not though.”

Dash finally started to trot away from the drake, only to be stopped by a voice.

“And I felt the same way since that day too.”

Dash stopped, she didn't turn around to look at the drake, she just stood there, holding her breath.

“I was worried at first, a drake and a mare relationship wouldn’t be the best thing to any couple, nonetheless to the famous Rainbow Dash, the mare who is closing to becoming a WonderBolt. But luckily Flutters beat that out of me, she actually almost wiped away all doubts, and if things did go sour with Twi, I was going to ask you.”

Dash finally talked. “But didn't things go bad, I mean why would you be like you are right now?”

“Funny enough, I never even got to see Twilight today. All I was going to mind you, my claw was on the handle, but I started hearing voices, not Cole mind you, but a certain white mare's voice.”

“Rarity.”

“Exactly. She was talking to Twi, making sure everything was alright I guess, but after a bit of talking, they both came to a conclusion, a conclusion that is true.”

Dash finally turned around to face the drake, who still had his back pointed towards her.

“A monster.”

Silence once again met the pair, the only exception was the wind that breezed through the drakes scales, and the mare's mane.

“The day after my birthday, I grew, and became a full monster the ravage the town. And that day, the day the seems perfect for both of us, the day I grew to a teen. Was actually a bad day, because that day, was only telling me that I was getting closer to becoming a monster, only to become it hours later, and to become it more now.”

Spike shut his eyes, as he let out a sigh.

“Before, I had no doubts before. But now, I do. I know I am now a monster, and I always will be one. And no one, can love a monster.”

And now I know no monster can love.

Dash was stunned, thoughts racing through her head like spears being thrown. So many things were racking inside her head, that her mind was about to be overblown.

Spike, a monster? Spike, the cute and friendly baby, a monster? The baby dragon who would do anything for almost anyone, a monster?

Dash was at a loss of words, she just couldn't comprehend how Spike could even think he was a monster.

Though while Dash was in this state of mind, she didn't notice the drake she had been thinking about in her head, had just expanding his wings, and was flying afar.

She tried to say something, she tried to do anything, but with no avail.

I couldn't even say goodbye.
