Gentle let down, very happy times ahead
"Spike I just don't have the same feelings for you, I hope you understand",Said Rarity with tears welling in her eyes
"why... why don't you love me. Do I not have a chance or something.",Said Spike while keeping his cool, but inside, he was infuriated to a whole new level, but that was a different story. I really didn't want to go through this, please, please, don't be mad at me for this.,Rarity thought. He then got out of his chair and excused himself from the table."Spike, where are you going?" Rarity was at a loss for words to see a small dragon the age of 16 could keep his cool at something so serious, but she felt a certain heat surge from him.
"Oh... I'm going. This was to see if you loved me, and by the looks of it you don't. Goodbye Rarity." Said spike while staring through the freshly cleaned window looking at something in the sky. Passing through the seemingly large dinner to the door, paying for the bill with a slightly large jade gemstone leaving a happy waiter in his wake.
"B-b-bye Spike," Replied Rarity while keeping her posture but truly feeling sorry for spike. It was for a better cause... right. He'll learn eventually how it goes,... hopefully, she thought.
Meanwhile
"Well I have no use here, maybe I could go to the Crystal Empire and see Shinning for those elite training lessons and get my armor. Yep, that's what I'll do because she just ticked me off!" While walking to the train station, Spike gave Ponyville one last look over. Then, Spike decided to send a letter to Twilight, and the rest of his friends, excluding Rarity.
Dear Twilight
I'm sorry that I had to leave, but it was necessary to do so I'll be back soon Twi, love you all and please do not mourn or weep for me. Please don't, I'll even pinky promise that I will, okay. Pinky, don't cry or get overactive about it either, Rainbow keep up the good work you are a Wonderbolt waiting to be seen, Fluttershy you are a great person don't forget that, AJ be strong like you always are and be there for everyone, Rarity, you used me by giving little to none affection, just so I could run with it... well I hope you have a very happy life without me. Anyway, Twilight hold it together for you are like a mother I never had and I thank you for that.
Sincerely, your friend, Spike.
With that said, Spike blew a burst of green flame and the message was sent. While Spike was boarding the train as it gave it's signature whistle, Spike was thinking of the good times he had with everyone Sweetiebelle, Applebloom, Scootaloo, Twi, and the rest of the gang. "Heh, good times", spike said as the train drifted him to sleep while pulling out of the Ponyville borders. Even before he fell asleep, he wondered how much she used him for his muscle .
5 Years later in Ponyville
Dear Friends
Guess what I got you! Your own pent house!!! You need to come to the Crystal Empire and bring your colt-friends too. I need to talk to all of you about something that is very important. Plus Cadence and Shinning can't wait to meet you and the lucky stallions, especially the one with you Twilight.
Your friends Princess Luna, and Celestial.
"OMG!!!!!!! Yes, were going to the Crystal Empire!! Come on Pin Prick we have to tell all our friends." ,Twilight said. While a deep tenor voice from upstairs replied with an " ok" from upstairs, while coming down the steps with a *clip*, *clop* of his hooves. The stallion was taller than Twilight, had a wavy two-toned mane of brown and black, but his coat was just a creamy brown or beige. It seemed that he had already packed their things and was ready to go. Swinging his broad arms around twilight, making her blush as he kissed her, she purred into his loving touch as he asked "what happened". "We're going to go to the Crystal empire with everyone else to see my brother Shinning Armor, we even get to talk to my sister in law, Cadence," said Twilight with a ear to ear smile on her face. "That's... nice let's tell everyone else about it," said Pin Prick, and with that they left to get the rest of the Crew. Which took almost FOREVER!!
Crystal Empire
" Okay so everyone is here", Twilight said while everyone replied "Yep!!", everyone replied. "Braeburn and Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Soarin, Thunderlane and Rarity, Pinprick and I, Polka dot and Pinky, AJ and Caramel, Sweetiebelle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo" Twilight said while marking off a check on her clipboard. When she was satisfied, she placed it with her luggage and they walked to the large palace. Once they arrived, they put their luggage away and they went to find Shinning Armor training with the elite royal guards, one caught Twilight's eye, but she kept it to herself. Twilight then had a devilish plan and decided to teleport behind him bringing everyone else, but she was pooped and made up the decision for pinky to do it winch by the way worked liked a charm. "Hiya Shinny", Pinky said giving Armor her signature hug. "Hi... Pinky" Armor said grunting out his last breath until she released him from the bear hug and him go. Finally recovering from the hug Armor asked Pin Prick, "So your the who got my little sister's heart, heh you better take care of it or you will wish had". With aloud and audible gulp, Pin Prick almost coward in fear, luckily Twilight was their to his rescue. "Shinning", Twilight said with a hint of annoyance in her voice, "Don't worry you don't to worry about me, but you do have to worry about him", Said Shinning as he pointed to a certain armored creature behind him." Why does he so... look familiar", Twilight asked herself. "What does that thing have to do with anything", said rainbow dash. "Because I'm the one who sent the letter Celestia bugged me to send to you guys", replied the large figure with a deep baritone voice. That's when the helmet came off of him and the thing they said next was "SPIKE!!!!"
