My Rarity

Chirp, chirp!

"Who." Owlowicious hooted as he poked Spike.

I rolled around, hoping that I could get some more sleep, but noooo, Owlowicious had to wake me up...

"WHOO!" Owlowicious hooted angrily as he poked Spike harder.

"Gahhhh, all right, all right..." I yawned.

"Who." Owlowicious smirked.

"You're always up to something, aren't ya?" I glared at the owl.

Suddenly, a deep pain hit my head like a hammer. I started to remember what happened last night, and every time the memories would come, it would always hurt. I wanted to forget about what happened last night, but I can't. My mood instantly shifted from being happy, to depressed.

I needed to get to the shower...

~~~~

As the hot water rained down on me, I closed my eyes, and tried to relax. The hot water always helped, like when I drank too much and had a hangover... Yeah... Those were good times.

I smiled and chuckled. The pain was starting to go away. But, the things that happened yesterday...

I couldn't forget that.

"Spike? You there?" Twilight bangs on the door.

"Yeah! I'm in the shower!" I yell.

She stops banging on the door. I could hear her going downstairs, but when she reached the bottom... There was one word she muttered.

"Rarity."

I sigh. I try to clean myself up as soon as possible, so that way, she doesn't leave.

Moments later...

"Ahh. There we go." I smiled. I reach for the door handle.

I stop for a minute. Do I want to look at Rarity right now?

I tried to imagine me looking at Rarity without blushing. It didn't last long.

I unlocked the door, but I opened the window. The birds were singing, the ponies were talking offers and groceries... Ah... Ponyville.

"Spike?"

I look back at the door. I hop down and start running through the market. Hundreds of gasps were appearing left and right, but I didn't care. I just need to go somewhere I can be alone. So, I start thinking. What choice is there... Oh! Everfree Forest!

I start running to the entrance of the Everfree Forest.

~~~~

I'm still running, but I'm in the Everfree Forest. Like a bit deep in the Everfree Forest.

I stop. I see a tall tree that is climbable. That's a good spot to relax.

I smile. I climb up the tree, and find that there's a patio-like tree branch in the tree. It was unusual to find a shape like that, but, it suited just fine. I sat down on the lush green leaves. Of course, I had grabbed a bit of cloud to soften where I was sitting. Didn't want to get poked by branches.

But now, I start remember the embarrassing parts about yesterday. The part where I was going to spend some 'quality time' with Rarity. The way I panicked... Gahhhh. I slap myself. But, she was warm. You could feel her heart's warmth shine just like a jewel. It was pure. It was generous.

And her eyes... Beautiful. Those sapphire eyes... It wasn't like sapphire, but mixed with a bit of sky blue.

I just love her. I don't love her because of her looks, I love her for who she is. Not because of how pretty she is, none of that. I love her. Out of all the things I've done with her...

The memories come flashing back into Spike's mind. One by one...

Out of all the things I've been through with her...

One by one...

"I love her!"

I hear a flash come right behind me. It was Cadance! Which... actually makes sense, because she's the Princess of Love. Oh. Ok.

Cadance smiles at me. "It seems you always remained true to your heart."

I smile back. "Haven't I always have?"

Cadance laughs. "Maybe. But, that will all be proved when you get back to your loved one."

I nod. "I will."

Cadance smiles, but frowns. She starts fading away.

I see her frown. I open my mouth, but as soon as I was about to ask her if she was okay, she completely disappeared.

~~~~

I jump down from the tree, and start to look around. This wasn't the part of the forest I was in. Is the forest becoming a maze!? The forest changes once again. I rub my eyes. It was true, the forest changes every hour...

I start running South West. I see the entrance.

I see Ponyville just across! I'm gonna make it!

As I stepped on some grass (or so I thought), I sinked through it, revealing a swamp. I looked around, and swam up.

BANG!

What!? The grass hardened!? I pushed my finger into the grass. I pulled it out, to find that the grass wasn't grass. It was mud. But how? How could mud be hardening if it's completely hot outside!? ....Damn it, just figure out a way to get out, Spike!

I push and push on the mud, making it rise up making a huge mud hill...

...!? The mud hardened completely! Is there any more mud spots? I look around. I see some, but they turned cement-like. That means...

Oh no. I trapped underwater. In the swamp. I try to breathe a bit of fire, but it won't work. I bang on the mud, and it doesn't work, nothing IS WORKING! I bash and bash on the mud spot, losing strength each strike. My strikes kept getting slower and slower...

"Mmmphhhh!" I cover my mouth.

I'm running out of air... I think.. This is the end...

The bubbles are coming out of my mouth making me panic. I try to collect the bubbles, but nothing seems to work!

My vision gets darker and darker.

I black out.
