The Connection in Our Hearts - An MLP:FIM Fan Fiction

The next two days passed like any other day; oversleep, breakfast, chores, supper, more chores and then bedtime.

The next day was no same, up to supper time. As Twilight and Spike were consuming their supper, a knock came from the front door. Spike rose to get it, but Twilight gestured him to stay where he was.

“I'll go answer it.” Twilight said.

Spike watched on as Twilight walked up to the door and opened it. It revealed the pony that had moved in yesterday. Spike was surprised.

“Do I know you?” Twilight questioned.

“I've heard of you though.” The pony said. “They say your popular round here; am I correct?”

“Indeed I am.” Twilight said, blushing slightly.

“Well, we just moved in nearby you, and I was thinking...would you join our house warming party tonight at 7:00pm?” The pony asked.

“OK then.”  Twilight accepted “What's your name?”

“Elizabeth Karks. But you can call me Lizze if simplicity is your thing.” Elizabeth said.

Twilight smiled. She liked Elizabeth's personality.

“OK then. I'll pop in by 8.” Twilight said.

“See you later then!” Elizabeth said and closed the door.

“So that's her name? Elizabeth? Rather posh name I say.”  Spike said, who had heard the entire conversation.

“She seems very kind and thoughtful.” Twilight said. “Now, back to my supper!”

Twilight walked back to the table and continued to eat her supper. Spike peeked at Elizabeth's house. At last, he would get the chance to meet the little dragon he saw when they moved in.

“So, what do you think of it?” Elizabeth said to Twilight, who was sitting beside her holding a glass of punch.

“For a small house, I have to say it looks rather big.” Twilight said, looking round the room.

“Yeah. We move here from Manehattan just yesterday.” Elizabeth said  “Trust me when I say this. The house we lived in before we moved here was an absolute tip, and so was the area we were living in. Gangs, crime, attacks and drug smugglers; it was to much to bear. So, one night, I said to my self  “I shouldn't have to deal with this crap anymore.” So then I looked in the newspapers for a nice small place that me and my daughter could live in. At no time at all, we found this place up for sale. So using my spare bits I had saved up over the years, and selling some of my old items that could be worth a few bits, I bought this house. And...well here I am!”

“Dear me, you must have had a rough time in those suburbs. Poverty on the rise, fatal attacks and all that. I don't think I could cope a week in the state that you lived in.”  Twilight said, feeling sorry for Elizabeth.

“Oh, I forgot to mention to. We got robbed this one time.  Nothing valuable was stolen, and we got all the items that had been nicked back to us.”  Elizabeth added.

“Oh my...”  Twilight gasped.

Spike fought his way through the ponies and reached Twilight.

“Oh hi ,Spike! Meet Elizabeth, the owner of this house.”  Twilight introduced.

“Hello, Spike. Nice to meet you.” Elizabeth said, greeting him with a hoofshake.

“Nice to see you to.” Spike responded. “Do you know where the toilet is?”

“Upstairs darling, and its the second door on the right.” Elizabeth instructed.

“Thanks” Spike said.

Spike fought the crowd and reached the stairs. He walked up them and entered the door on the right.  He entered the room and sat on the toilet. After he had finished, he exited the bathroom and was just about to go back downstairs, when he spotted the dragon from yesterday. From closer up he could see more detail. The dragon had the same looks as him, (I don't know much about the dragon parts in MLP:FIM, so prepare yourself for some bad explaining) except the top of the dragon was a blueish sort of colour,  it had a red body and the spikes on its tail were more curved than sharp. Spike had never seen such a beautiful dragon in his life.

“Hi, are you lost?” The dragon spoke, signalling that she was a female dragon.

Spike froze on the spot. He didn't know what to say or what to do.

“Urmm...no-no not at all. I'm perfectly fine th-thank you.” Spike said shyly.

The red dragon approached him.

“Is there something wrong?” She asked.

“Nope, not at all.” Spike awkwardly said.

“What are you hiding?” She asked cheekily, beginning to tickle Spike.

“Hey' what are you doing? Stop! That tickles!” Spike laughed as the red dragon continued to tickle him. After a while she stopped.

“Your cute, you know that?” She smiled.

Spike's face went bright red.

“Aww, stop it.” Spike said, blushing even more.

“No really, you look as handsome as...well...actually I don't know, but what ever! Your still cute.”  She happily said.

Spike swung his leg nervously, trying to think of something he could say back to her.

“You have the most beautiful face a dragon could love.” Spike said.

The red dragon giggled slightly at his remark.

“The names Rebecca by the way.” She said.

“I'm Spike, nice to meet you.” He said, shaking her claw.

“You know” Rebecca started “I've never had a real friend before and...well...any of the other friends I've had have  back stabbed on me or left me...and I'm just wondering...would you like to be my friend?”

“Of course I will!” Spike said.

Hoof steps could be heard coming up then stairs. It was Elizabeth. She saw Spike and Rebecca together and chuckled.

“I see you've meet Rebecca.” Elizabeth said “Nice isn't she?”

“Without a doubt.” Spike answered.

“Me and him are friends now.” Rebecca chirped.

“Well that's nice to hear.  Do you want some time to yourselves?”  Elizabeth said.

“OK then.” Spike accepted.

Elizabeth went back downstairs, leaving Spike and Rebecca to themselves.

“Can I tell you a secret?” Rebecca whispered.

“Fire away.” Spike said.

“Well, I used to have this filly as my ponyfriend. His name was Albert. When I first met him, I thought he was all fit and that and he would be by ponyfriend forever. We were together for five months...then...then”  Tears began to drip down Rebecca's eyes. Spike put his arm on her back to comfort her.

“What happened?” Spike asked.

“I saw him one day, han...hanging out with  another filly. I was absolutely  heartbroken; as if my heart had been smashed to several pieces before me. After recess, I confronted him and asked what he was doing with that other filly.

“Look, I was going to tell you.” He started.

“I slammed his locker door to intimidate him”

“TELL ME WHAT?!  THAT YOU'VE CHEATED ON ME?! HOW COULD YOU?! AND AFTER ALL THE THINGS WE SAID AND ALL THE  THINGS WE  WERE GOING TO DO!!” I screamed at Albert, who began to look a me with guilt

“You know what? I don't even know you anymore.” I finally said.

“Then I walked away. I never spoke to him again, and tried to not think about it. But I couldn't get it out of my head. I just couldn't...”

Rebecca began to cry.  Spike held her close to him.

“Don't cry now. You've got me now. I'm not going to back stab you or what's not. I'm not like that.” Spike calmly said.

After a few minutes, Rebecca stopped crying and wiped her tears away.

“I'm sorry you had to see me like this. I'm so sorry.” Rebecca said sadly.

“It's OK. We all get a little upset now and then.” Spike explained. “It's perfectly normal.”

Spike and Rebecca looked at each other for the longest time, as if it was lasting for an eternity. Rebecca put her arms on Spike shoulders. Spike moved his hands on her shoulders  to. Suddenly, Rebecca kissed Spike. Spike opened his eyes in shock, wonder, and fear. It felt so wrong...but it felt so right at the same time. Spike closed his eyes and held her face close to his. And there lips touched. They kissed for what felt like forever. After long last, they stopped and let go of each other. They looked awkwardly at each other.

“That was...umm...”  Spike began.

“You may look like a 13 year old, but you kiss like a 40 year old!” Rebecca laughed. Spike laughed a bit to.

“So...” Spike started but didn't finish.

“Do you want to be my colt...or...what they call dragons together.” Rebecca quietly said.

“Dragonfriends? Yeah. I'd be glad to.” Spike accepted.

“SPIKE! Were going!” Twilight called.

Spike suddenly got up and looked downstairs.

“Coming!” Spike called.

Rebecca got up and looked at Spike. Spike looked back.

“So...do you wanna met Friday...or...whenever?” Rebecca asked.

“I say this Friday?” Spike said.

“Agreed.” Rebecca smiled.

“SPIKE! I'm not spending all night down here!”  Twilight yelled.

“COMING!”  shouted Spike.  He looked back at Rebecca. “So... I'll guess I'll be off then. Bye.”  Spike said.

“Bye.”  Rebecca replied.

Spike rushed down the stairs and greeted Twilight at the door.

“Oh, so NOW you come!”  Twilight sighed “Come on, lets get home.”

Twilight opened the door for Spike and closed it behind her. Spike walked all the way back to the library with a  massive grin on her face.  At long last, he finally had a dragonfriend.
