You Found Me (Extended)-chapter two
"So this mare, her name is Rainbow Dash,"Soarin said, slurred, "She's just amazing. She's hot, single, obsessed with the Wonderbolts, and undeniably, the coolest pony in Equestira."
"Yeah, keep this quiet, but Ditzy and I go time travelling together and she makes one hell of a muffin."
Feinien poured another round of vodka shots, one with scotch for the doctor, "So Spike, what about your mare? She have a name boiyo?"
"Yeah, her names Rarity, she's the most beautiful mare, and she makes the most amazing dresses." Spike said with a sigh. "I actually have a picture of her,"he said digging through his vest's pocket. When he finally found the picture he showed it to the group. Feinien took a long look at it.
"Well, what if she says no, but not just no, something like' No and now I cannot stand to talk to you anymore so I am leaving town.'?"Spike's fears got the best of him finally, now feeling like everypony in Equestria was watching in on his conversation.
"Aright, sompony stand me up, I'm going to do this shit RIGHT NOW." Spike stated despite the late hour and his inebriation he now felt determined to ask her. Feinien helped him stand up and gave him a playful push out the door
"Go get her tiger."
Spike wandered the streets of Ponyville in an attempt to find the Carousel Boutique, which doubled as Rarity's home. On any normal day Spike would instinctively know the place, eyes closed and arms tied behind his back. But with the intense inebriation he now had, it was much harder to do.
"What am I am going to tell her, Rarity I know that I'm completely drunk but I want you to know-"
The two walked to Rarity's boutique, silent all the way. Spike, still nervous to say anything held the door for the beautiful unicorn as she trotted into her home.
"She's the most beautiful, generous, and kindest pony in all of Equestria, and probably one of my best friends." he said, still trying not to give away the fact that the mare he was describing was in fact in the room with him.
"Oh yeah, every time I see her I feel like I could just faint, to me, and probably to everypony else in Equestria, she is absolutely flawless, a bit dense, but even the most pristine diamond has it's flaws if you look hard enough." 'Damnit, diamond was the biggest possible hint I could have given her, STUPID STUPID STUPID!' he thought.
"Only in dreams." he said, passing out on Rarity's love seat.
The night passed for Rarity with a bit off tossing in her silk sheets, still trying to figure out who Spike's mystery lover was. After all, there were plenty of teenage fillies in Ponyville, and thanks to Sweetie Belle she knew plenty of them. 'Could it be Sweetie Belle? After all, I did raise myself, and I am the element of Generosity, however, actually she fits the description on the dot. And Spike does seem to rarely see her. Hmmmmm' she wondered the seemingly endless possibilities of who this mare or filly was. by the time she finally fell asleep she had given up on her guessing and decided it would simply be best to ask him directly in the morning.
Belive me I'm not trying to make her sound stupid, only as dense as the diamonds she uses in her daily routines.
You Found Me-Chapter 3
Spike woke up the next morning in the same place as he passed out the previous night, and for once he found breakfast laid out for him,his first thought was 'What the hay did I do last night?' not recognizing the living room of the boutique, after a few minutes of rubbing his eyes he finally realized just where he was. 'Oh Celestia, I need to get outta here'.
As he tried to stand up the loveseat made a loud creak, alerting Rarity to Spike's conciousness.
"You can bet I'll be there Rarity, and thank you so much for this." he said, walking out of the living room and finally out of the boutique.
After the long night at Rarity's, Spike rushed home to Twilight, and her soon to be fury. After all, he was out all night, presumably (in Twilight's mind) drinking and getting into all sorts of trouble with his friends, although it wouldn't be the first time he came home from an all night drinking binge. As Twilight waited angrily in the front room, expecting a still depressed and certainly hung-over drake to come through the door at any minute, she began to wonder what could be taking him so long to return.
All of the sudeen the door flung open to reveal an exited, barely hung-over Spike with a big grin spread across his draconic face.
"Yeah, I finally asked her and now we've got a date tonight in the park." he said, leaving the lavender mare dumbstruck.
Spike turned on the bathtub faucet for a nice warm soak in the water, after all, he didn't want to smell like booze for Rarity, and their date was only a few hours away. Spike wanted to look his absolute best for the mare of his dreams, and he couldn't do that if he didn't bathe properly, what with Rarity being such a high class mare and all.
'What comes next after this? What if something goes horribly wrong?' Spike thought, imagining of the worst case scenario, which really was only that Rarity would think he was just another jerk like Blueblood, of course she despised him after that night, but Spike was nothing like that jerk, he would be kind, courteous, and most of all, smooth. Everything Twilight had ever tried to instill in him since he could talk.
With his horrible worst case scenario behind him Spike stepped out of the tub to make sure his spines and scales were straight, and for the peice d' resistance, the bowtie Rarity made him for the Gala years ago. Suprisingly enough, it fit him better than on the night it was intended for. Soon enough he would be on his first date with his dream mare.
Yes, here it comes, or is it?
Chapter 4
As Spike made his way out of the library, he noticed a certain feeling in his stomach. A feeling he had never had before. It was like the whole world was watching him, like if he messed up this date then the world was going to collapse on him and he would fall into the deepest abyss in the history of Equestria. It was the most intense feeling of his nerves getting to him. Even with this feeling, Spike moved forward, increasing his pace toward the park where he was to meet his dream mare, Rarity.
As much as he wanted Rarity to love him in the same way he loved her, he knew that this date was probably out of pity. As though she knew of his feelings all along, abused those feelings, and then felt guilty all o the sudden, making her do this for him.
He shuddered at the very thought, 'No, Rarity would never betray somepony like that.' he thought, though the realization came to him, 'She would never do that to somePONY, but I'm no pony, I'm a dragon. What if that would really make a difference, what if she really hates me, what if she agreed to do his to turn me into the laughing stock of Equestria?' Again he shuddered. If this really was all a joke then he would need to hide in the library forever, never coming out again, until he had the wings and size to live with the other dragons of he world.
Spike's heart rate increased noticeably, even externally those who looked in his direction knew he was scared. As he tried to calm himself, he saw the doctor, running through town...not to say that was an unusual sight. From out of nowhere he heard somepony yell," Allons Y!" as another tan earth pony ran after he doctor, in fact, these two shared a cutie mark, nearly everything about them was the same, save that the second was wearing a long, wool knit scarf. The two disappeared into an alley, and there was a burst of blue light. After which the doctor came walking triumphantly out of the alley and over to Spike.
"So how's my scaly mate doing?"the doctor said with a grin.
"Words can't describe it Doc, in about half an hour, I'm going to be in a date with my dream mare."
"Good to see that the timeline is in- er good to see that you finally asked her" the doctor mumbled, trying to cover his error.
"It's just strange to think that this is really happening doc."
"You asked her, what did you expect, aside from a denial. Actually, that means I won the pool!"
"Well actually, she kind of asked me... what pool?" Spike said, purposely omitting certain details, such as the fact that no question was ever truly asked by him with the words 'Rarity would you go on a date with me?' in it, but Spike was sure that it was implied. After all, she said she would give him a chance.
"Well Soarin said you would chicken out, Feinien said that she would say no, and I was the only one who said you'd get a date with her. Of course I didn't add who would ask whom, so that means I still win!"
"Thanks for believing in me doc, but I still want to get there early enough for our date." Spike said as he began to turn back towards the park.
"Right, well I have Daleks to tend to anyway, so cheerio." the doctor said as he gallivanted off on another adventure.
Chapter 5
Spike continued down the road, after all, with the park still half of a mile away, he didn't want anything else to make him late, let alone a run in with a certain pink-
"Hiya Spike!" Pinkie Pie said
"Where are you going all spiffed up?" she asked.
When he finally reached the park he sat on the only unoccupied bench and lit a cigarette. Thanks to his natural ability to breath fire and it's green tint, the ashes glowed with an emerald color. As he drew on the smoke he had a wave of calm wash over him. Though his previous attempts to stop had been futile, he was down to three per day, and now down to two. 'Rarity would probably be so pissed to find out that I smoke.' though the assumption had no real ground. As time passed, and their date time got nearer, Spike again grew anxious, but he was suddenly comforted by a sweet voice behind him.
"Hi Spike!" it said, Spike turned around to see Sweetie Belle in a beautiful hoof stitched dress with emeralds and sapphires sewn in, the emeralds matching the color of both Spike's spines and his eyes.
"Wow, that's weird, how about we make it a double date?" she said.
"I don't know actually, Rarity said that he would be wearing a 'dashing suit with a red rose corsage'" she said, imitating her big sister. They giggled at the impression for a few seconds.
"Oh, I hope everything is going alright with Sweetie and Spike." Rarity said frantically pacing across the floor of the boutique.
About ten minutes passed and Spike was beginning to worry. "Umm Sweetie Belle, you don't think Rarity set me up to be your blind date do you?"
Still more time passed, until about thirty minutes went by, Sweetie Belle was almost ready to give up on her date.
Chapter 6
"Sooooooooo?" Rarity said after Sweetie Belle had entered the boutique, she had already sent Spike back home after thanking him for staying by her despite both of their dates "lack of an appearance"
"Well he didn't know that it was me! He's going back to the park to see if HIS date ever showed up, so obviously you set him up with the wrong mare too!"
"I'm sure it was an honest mistake Spike." the doctor said now taking a sip of his scotch.
Chapter 8
"SPIKE!" Rarity called out, an apple cart being pulled by Big Macintosh had suddenly come unhitched and rolled out of control
Rarity picked Spike up with her. Magic and the note fell to the ground.
"Rarity,
Forever yours
Spike Sparkle
The purple dragon was unconscious, breathing still,but it was labored, due to years of smoking. Rarity was now crying more than anypony had in their own lives. And for once it wasn't about herself, unless one was to count losing such a dear friend being for herself. She bandaged the dragon to the best of her ability, though that wasn't much, and leaving to find doctor Redheart was dangerous, the idea of leaving the wounded dragon alone was heartbreaking for her.
And with that he passed out again.
Rarity was now sobbing harder than before, one of her best friends was horribly injured, and it was all her fault. The worst part was that she had treated Spike like a walking pincushion, and despite her behavior, he still found it in his heart to forgive her. She had been selfish and self centered, yet he loved her still.

And things were finally starting to look up for him.
Sorry this was so short, but I included an epilogue to make up for it.

Chapter 3.5 (what I didn't include in chapter 3 but should have)
You Found Me- Chapter 3.5(everything I was to hurried to add
As Spike walked down the steps of the Ponyville Public Library he took a look at the clock, it was 4:32, about twenty-eight minutes until his special date with Rarity. He wanted to make sure that Rarity wasn't going to get there before he did, so on the way down he grabbed his bag of bits, his hat, and said goodbye to Twilight.
"TWILIGHT!"
Chapter 7
"Oh Rarity, how could you be so stupid?" the white mare asked herself, pacing about the boutique floor. She never liked to put anypony down, but she knew just how much she deserved to have such words come in her direction.
Spike's tears were streaming down his face, burning his scales (just remember that dragons are still magical creatures and therefore everything about them has magical properties). A storm was now rolling in from the Everfree forest. One which the weather team, due to a lack in resources desperately needed."Great, even the weather can't wait to make my life suck more." he took another gulp from the bottle, the world was seeming to get darker now, and tunnel vision was beginning to set in for the extremely drunk dragon. He was about to pass from the corner of First avenue and Gale road when suddenly, everything went black.
Again, sorry for the short length and now for formatting, but I haven't really had much time to write, and fabrics to put food on the table, so the chapters of this are going to be rather short for a while, and since I'm still using my iPod to write there may be some typos and poor formatting .
