Aces And Spades

Hand Four:  Ace of Hearts

"Straight flush." Rarity said slamming her cards down Ace smiled as he slammed his hand down revealing a Royal Flush. Everypony was shocked at this.

"I guess my luck is still better." Ace said with a smile. He collected his winnings but was stopped by Twilight.

"That is physically and numerically impossible to you to pull that three times in one night." She said glaring at him Ace glared back.

"Are you accusing me of cheating miss." He said coldly.

"I am. You're cheating." She said angrily. Ace stood up and left he wasn't going to take this anymore being called a cheater is where he drew the line. He heard hoofsteps behind him he looked back to see Rarity.

"What?" He asked angrily he was livid he never liked being called a cheater. She held up a of bits.

"You forgot your winnings darling you won them fair and square." She went to hand them to him he smacked them out of her grip out of anger.

"I don't care about the money. I DON'T GIVE A BUCK ABOUT THE DAMN MONEY!" He bellowed he turned around and walked away he wasn't dealing with it. Rarity stood there shaking he was so mad just about a simple accusation that's what it seemed to Rarity. It meant so much more to Ace.

Ace had walked all the way to the park he stopped to look at a tree it angered him further the card flew out of his box wrapping around is hoof he slammed it into the tree repeatedly until it broke and fell he looked at his hoof to see it bleeding. "Damn it all Ace you get so worked up over the simplest things." He said leaning against the stump. He winced as the pain began to pulse through his arm his cards flew into his deck box he sighed drifting off to sleep.

Ace awoke when the birds began to chirp. He looked around to see a Yellow mare watching him from a distance he looked at her then down at his hoof to see it wrapped up. "When did-" He looked back up to see her gone he shrugged it off standing up calmly. "I guess I should go apologize to Rarity for how I acted last night." The unicorn stated walking towards the boutique.

Ace arrived at the boutique in the early morning he knocked on the door calmly and waited for her to answer when she didn't he sat down next to the door he slowly fell asleep again he felt sick.

Ace woke up looking at a light purple ceiling he sat up slowly he heard a light humming from the other room he stood up walking towards the noise he saw Rarity working. "Such a beautiful dress." He said looking at her creation She glanced back to see Ace Up she smiled gently to him. "Rarity..."

"Ace... It is nice to see that you are awake." She said with a smile. "You were absolutely feverish when I found you outside this morning." She said setting down her utensils.

Ace smiled walking up to her. "Listen Rarity I'm sorry for how I acted last night I was being rude and overreacted." He said calmly he still felt bad but when he looked up he saw a hoof smacking him across the face he sighed knowing he deserved that. "I'm sorry..." Is all he could say.

"Just don't be rude to a lady again." Rarity said as she hugged him gently. "I shouldn't have done that." She said letting him go with a light blush gracing her cheeks Ace smiled to her.

"Don't worry about Rarity I deserved that smack no matter how you feel." He said smiling. "I wouldn't stop you if you continued to beat me." He said calmly. "I'm used to it anyway." He began to cry while smiling. Rarity was shocked by this. "My Father would beat me just like this all I did was smile through it hoping he would stop. But he never did." His tears never ceased. Rarity sighed Slamming her hoof across his face to break him out of his episode.

"Snap out of it Ace this isn't the same colt I began to li-" She stopped her self blushing heavily she looked away. "I just want you to smile happily." She said smiling. Ace rubbed his cheek where she hit him.

"Thank you Rarity I needed that." Ace said standing up he looked at her he leaned over and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek which made her face turn pure red He smiled as he walked out of the boutique. But Rarity stepped outside and stopped him.

"The Flower Petal tonight at 7 be there." She said quickly she then left smiling like a little girl.

"It's a date then." Ace smiled happily at this new development.
