It had started off like any other day in Ponyville. Random ponies were going out to shop in the market or just visit friends and family. The colts and fillies were headed to the schoolhouse and some of the mares and stallions had left for their individual jobs. The rest of that day, however, and those to follow would be exponentially different for the matured, teenage dragon taking residence in the Golden Oaks Library with Twilight.

This was going to be the day Spike would succeed in asking Rarity out on a date.

He was going to succeed, right?
