As Spike looked out the window of the train car he was looking out of, he thought about how beautiful the scenery was. All the tree tips poking at the bottom of the sun like they were, it was absolutely beautiful, like Rarity.....he shook the thought about his crush away, because she already had a boyfriend, and he respected that, he wasn't going to try and steal her away, or win her over. Her boyfriend was a good friend of Rainbow Dash's, his name was Soarin, and he knew about Spike's crush on Rarity, and he knew Spike was a good kid. Spike was only about 14 or 15 at the time, while the rest of his friends were 18 or 19.

"Spike"

Spike continued to look out the window, seeing the Crystal Empire coming into view.

"Spike"

He wondered if he would get any sleep tonight, he was really excited about the vacation he and all of his friends were taking, the Soldiers of the Crystal empire did take lots of blood sweat and tears to make the whole place and the 200 mile radius tropical looking, so there were jet skis, hang gliders, and all sorts of stuff all over the place.

"Spike!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" said Spike.

"You were spacing off, Spike, we got to get ready for bed, by 8 tomorrow, we will be at the empire, you ready for the best time of your life?" asked Twilight, all dressed in her night clothes.

"Hell yeah!" said Spike, Twilight knew something was bothering him.

"Spike, are you still upset about Rarity dating someone else?" asked Twilight.

"Yeah, i am" said Spike, disapointed to admit it.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" asked Twilight.

"No, its ok, i'll get over it." said Spike, choking a little.

"I've been hearing you cry yourself to sleep at night, do you really feel that strong about her?"

"I guess i do" Said Spike, even more disappointed in himself.

"Why don't you go talk to her about it?"

"1. i have, but she won't listen. 2. I don't want to get my ass kicked by Soarin" said Spike, making Twilight laugh a little.

"Your stronger than you look, Spike, you proved it before we got to the train station at ponyville" said Twilight.

Twilight gave him a hug, and said "I'm going to get some shut eye, brush your teeth, and you go to sleep too." said Twilight, before going into her room.

Spike went into his bathroom, and began to brush his teeth, thinking about what happened in ponyville, Spike wasn't the thinnest kid around,but he wasn't a punk.


The group was walking to the train station to get on the train to go to the Crystal Empire, Spike leading them. As they walked, they caught ear of what sounded like some sassy girls. When they turned the corner, they saw Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and some other kid, this one was a boy about Spike's age, bullying Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, like always, but what the new kid was saying was just plain disrespectful, Spike had heard a few "Whore"'s thrown out of his mouth, and Spike walked over.

"Hey guys come on, leave them alone, they didn't do anything," said Spike, defensivly.

The new boy that was with them, turned around, and laughed at Spike.

"What is your tub of lard ass gonna do about it?" said the new kid.

"Just leave them, alone, man, they're girls you dick" said Spike.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Randy, and where i came from, i owned my neighborhood, i could rape any girl i wanted, and i can tell you these whores are gonna get it from me" said Randy.

Spike's blood was boiling, and the mane 6 could already tell it was gonna get messy. Spike gave Randy a death look, Spike was ready to beat the living crap out of him. Randy was laughing in his face.

"Your fatass can't do anything about it, i think i might make you watch me violate these girls" Said Randy, still laughing.

This was enough to make Spike throw his arm back, and he threw it forward, aimed directly at Randy's nose. Randy didn't see it coming, so it was a total surprise to him, and when Spike's fist connected with his face, he felt 7 bones either crack or shatter, 1/4 of those being his teeth, i could already tell he lost 3 teeth. Randy flew to his back, screaming and holding his nose, which was gushing blood beyond anything he'd ever seen, Randy thought he was going to die, and Celestia knew Spike wanted him to, but he just held Randy's mouth to stop his screaming so Spike could speak.

"Listen here, you sick motherfucker, i own this town, and i don't give a fuck what you did at your old city, i don't care if you killed someone, if i see you doing something like you just described or were just doing, your gonna be in the hospital, you understand me, punk?" said Spike.

Randy just nodded his head, still crying from the shattered bones in his face. Spike removed his hand, looked up, and saw the three bullied girls waiting for spike to be done, and saw that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had run off. He got up, and the three girls started hugging him and thanking him for what he had done and what he had prevented.

He walked back over to the rest of the group, who all had wide eyes and their mouths were hanging wide open, surprised at what Spike had just done.

"What's wrong?" said Spike, holding in his laughter at their faces.

"You just......" started Rainbow Dash.

"Uh..." started Fluttershy as well.

"How did you do that?" asked Applejack. "Ah've never seen someone get hit so hard".

"He pissed me off, and i thought you guys learned that it's not a good idea to make me angry" said Spike.

"Yeah but.... you just broke part of his head" said Soarin, still wide eyed. "I've been in tons and tons of fights, and I've never done that"

"Well i'm sorry i did that to him, i just didn't appreciate what he said." said Spike.

They all began to walk to the Train station again, Rainbow all up in his face about it.

"ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh Spike that was awesome!" said Rainbow really excitedly.

"I'm not all that proud of it" said Spike, as they arrived at the train station.

They all got into their Car and rode off.


After Spike finished brushing his teeth, he took a quick shower, put his deodorant on so his room wouldn't smell like body odor when he woke up, and walked back into his room, laid in his bed, and played Minecraft Pocket Edition for about 30 mins, finding 2 diamonds, and he put his phone down, and closed his eyes. He thought of Rarity, and how much better he could take care of her more than Soarin could.

"Rarity, if you ever get to be mine, i'll treat you like a real princess, like you should always be treated." Spike said, before drifting off to sleep.

On the other side of the wall, Rarity was brushing her beautiful purple hair, Soarin had already fallen asleep about an hour ago, but Rarity was drawing up new designs. Rarity had heard what Spike had said across the wall, and blushed and smiled, knowing that he really would if he got the chance. Rarity did have a thing for Spike like he did her, but she didn't want to get ridiculed if everyone thought it was weird she was dating someone four years younger than her.

Rarity sighed, and when and climbed into bed, and snuggled up next to Soarin, and drifted off into peaceful sleep, with thoughts of tomorrow.
