Spike was just sweeping in the Golden Oaks Library, and He was whistling while sweeping. "Twilight!" he called "I'm finished!"

A purple allicorn walked downstairs with a smile on her face. It was Princess Twilight Sparkle with her usual, happy smile on her pretty, adorable face. "Great." she said in her usual cheerful and happy voice.

"So... is there anything else that I could do around here?" asked the baby dragon in an excited voice.

Twilight thought of it for a moment, thinking of anymore chores for little ol' Spike to do for her. "I think i'm fine for now, Spike." she said finally. "Why don't you take the day off?"

"Really?" asked Spike

"Sure. You deserve a break from the hard work you do." Twilight said sweetly while gently patting her number one assistant's head.

"Aw, stop it." Spike giggled.

Twilight giggled and said "Sorry."

"Well... what can I do on my day off?" asked Spike

"I don't know, that's up to you." Twilight answered, unsure of what Spike should do on his day off.

"Yeah, I think I will just go outside, and see what I can do for fun." Spike said

"Okay." Twilight said

"See you in a little while." said Spike before going out the door

"Okay. Oh! and... try not to get lost." said Twilight in her tone of sisterly instincts, and Spike went out the door, but was interrupted when Twilight said "Try and stay clean and... please get home safe-" but she was interrupted by the Baby dragon's annoyance

"Twi." said Spike a little irritated

"Right, sorry." said Twilight, and this time, Spike walked out the door out to Ponyville.

It was beautiful as ever in the small town of Ponyville. The birds were chirping, every-pony was happy. He walked around Ponyville, looking for something fun to do, but he saw nothing in particular. He thought about if any of Twilight's friends such as Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, or Rarity needed any help. Then, he thought of Fluttershy. Fluttershy, was somepony special to Spike. Sure, Rarity is his crush, but she treated him with great respect, and thought that he was the cutest thing she has ever seen.

Spike's smile had grown to a frown. "Why hasn't Fluttershy paid attention to me more?" He said out loud to himself. "Nah, who am I kidding." He said with disbelief. "I'm pretty sure she still likes me." The baby dragon saw a male pegasus hugging his little brother, and it made Spike think "Why hasn't Fluttershy ever hug me like that before?" The feelings got a little more deep, and he felt like Fluttershy shuns him, and doesn't pay attention to him enough. He had memories where Fluttershy, what Spike thought hasn't been knot icing him at all. It began to hurt him.

"Hey Spike?" Said the pegasus brother with his little brother next to him. "You okay?" He said. It was Thunderlane, and his little brother, Rumble.

"Oh, h- hey, Thunderlane." Said Spike. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Asked Rumble with concern.

"Of course, Rumble." Spike answered. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, you look a little down in the dumps, like something's bothering you." Said Thunderlane

"Oh no no no no no, I was just thinking." Spike lied

"About what?" Asked the younger brother of Thunderlane.

"Well.... I was just thinking about... About... How they make good cupcakes at Sugarcube Corner." Said Spike

"Oh, I see." Said Rumble, falling to for the baby dragon's little fib.

"I hear you, Spike" said Thunderlane, also falling for the fib.

"I just need some time alone." Said Spike.

"I understand." Said Thunderlane. "Come one, Rumble."

"Coming, big brother." Said Rumble on his cheery kid voice.

Spike looked at every-pony that might ask Spike what his problem was, so he decided to walk in the wilderness to think things over without any-pony bothering him about it, and asking him questions involving him and Fluttershy

Just Outside of Ponyville.

Spike was looking for a place to relax on. He wasn't far from Ponyville, but it was still tiring for him to walk like this. Finally, he found a large tree with a wide trunk. He decided to rest there for a little while. Now, Spike was thinking of What would happen When he says hello to her. He thought of her shouting at him In response, and shooing him away.

"Fluttershy," said Spike under his breath. All of a sudden a few tears formed In his eyes. "Why don't you love me anymore. He realized that Fluttershy or so what he thinks of course, hates him now, and think of him as an annoying pest since, she doesn't pay enough attention to him Since the day that he and Twilight first came to Ponyville. Now, Spike was thinking that Fluttershy thinks of hi. As an annoying insect instead of an animal now. He buried his face in Between his legs and began to sob.

But, little did he notice was that he was not alone in this wide open area outside of Ponyville.

Fluttershy was just picking some Flowers for herself and Angel Bunny too, with a basket ties to her left side. "La la la la la." She sang in her beautiful voice. All of a sudden, she saw Spike sobbing in misery under a tree. She took the flower basket off of her, and sat it next to the spot that she was picking flowers off of.

Spike was still sobbing when all of a sudden, he stopped by a soft, kind, and gentle voice that he knew all too well.

"Spike?" Said Fluttershy, who sat in front of Spike with a worried look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing, Fluttershy. I... I'm fine." Spike lied with a few choking sobs. He turned himself away from Fluttershy so that she wouldn't see him crying, but she gently turned him back over.

"Oh, Spike. There is nothing to be ashamed of." Said Fluttershy softly in her motherly voice. "You don't have to hide your tears from me."

Spike couldn't lie any longer, even to a very kind and sweet pony like Fluttershy is. "Okay, I'll tell you." He said. "I... I...I..." He was a little hesitant to say what his problem was

"Yes?" Asked Flutter softly

"I'm worried that..." And Spike began to chock on his sobbing, but he said "i'm worried that you don't love me anymore." he said finally, and then he turned away from Fluttershy again.

Fluttershy gasped at what he just said. "What??" She said with in a shocking but soft voice. "Why would you think that?" She said in sympathy.

Spike choked on another few sobs, but despite that, he said "because on the day we first meet, you were... All over me, and now you... Hardly pay attention to me now, and think of me as a normal everyday baby dragon that doesn't interest you anymore." and then he began sobbing into his legs again

Fluttershy gave a look of surprise. She felt like she was about to shed tears now because she feels really guilty about not paying attention to him enough lately. She turned Spike around gently again, and gently pulled him into a very caring hug, and held him in a cradle like position, like an infant. "Shh.. sh, sh, sh. It's okay." she said very motherly. "Don't cry." She slowly rocked him a few times "That's not true."

Spike stopped his sobbing, and said "It's not?" and then he sniffed

"Of course not." said Fluttershy sweetly. "I just thought that you wouldn't like it if I called you adorable, and that it would make you mad. I'm sorry if you feel this way."

"It's.... it's okay." said Spike. "I just wished that You would pay attention to me more. That's all. And... and... I just want to spend some time with you, like something fun."

Fluttershy hugged him again, patting him gently on his back. "I love you Spike, with all my heart. Don't you ever think otherwise. You are the cutest little baby dragon I know." and the she gave him a kiss on the forehead, while breaking her hug with him

"Really?" said Spike

"Really." Fluttershy replied sweetly. She had an idea and then she softly asked him "Would you like to stay with me, in my cottage for a little while?"

Spike looked up with surprise and said "Really?"

"Of course, Spikey-Whikey." said Fluttershy. "Let me take you home, and I'll talk to Twilight if it's okay with her if you can stay with me."

Spike gave a little smile and he sniveled "Thanks."

Fluttershy smiled down at him and said "You're welcome. Come on, let me take you to my home." She knelt down and asked "Would you like to ride on my back?"

Spike thought of it, and said "Sure." and then she slowly climbed on her back. Fluttershy then walked her way back to her cottage, while carrying her basket of flowers with her mouth. What's even more good is that her cottage was only a short walk from the fields.

Fluttershy's cottage

The cottage was just the same as ever, peaceful with the animals inhabiting in and out of if. Many species of birds were chirping, many animals were having random conversations. When they saw Fluttershy, they grew excited to see her back from picking flowers, and see he smiling face. She went into the cottage, and greeted many of her animal friends. Angel Bunny, her rabbit, came downstairs, happy to see her.

"Hello, Angel." said Fluttershy. "Did you do okay by yourself and the critters today?"

Angel nodded a yes. Angel looked at Spike, and his face changed from happy to scornful.

Spike looked at him with annoyance and said "Hello, Angel."

The rabbit just blew a small raspberry at him, then turned away from Fluttershy and the baby dragon.

"Angel! Be nice to him!" she scolded. "Spike's just going to stay with us for a little while."

Angel gave a little gasp of shock, and nod at her a "No" very rapidly. Fluttershy gave him a stern look, and gave him "The Stare"

"Be nice to him while he stays here. If you are mean to him when he stays here, then no extra lunch time for a month." said Fluttershy sternly "Do you understand me?"

Angel was scared of Fluttershy because of her stare, but he reluctantly nodded a yes.

"Good." said Fluttershy in her now happy voice. She knelt down so Spike would get down from her. "I'll be right back, my friends." she announced. "I'm just going to go talk to Twilight if Spike can stay here for a while.

The animals, minus Angel gave sounds of happiness, and excitement.

"I'll be right back, Spike." Fluttershy said to the baby dragon

"Okay. take your time." Spike replied. As soon as Fluttershy left the door, many animals crowded around Spike, happy to see him. The baby dragon felt himself being licked by a few animals.

Golden Oaks Library

Fluttershy knocked on Twilight's door. It opened and showed the purple allicorn with her smiling face. "Oh hello, Fluttershy." said Twilight

"Hello, Twilight." said Fluttershy a little melancholy.

"What's the matter, Fluttershy?" asked Twilight a little concerned.

"I want to talk to you." Fluttershy answered.

"Of course, come right in." said Twilight, moving aside for her friend to come in. "So what do you want to talk about?"

"Spike."

"What's wrong with him?" asked Twilight with concern

"He's worried that I don't love him anymore, because I haven't been paying enough attention to him lately." Fluttershy answered.

Twilight gave a little look of guilt and said "This is my fault."

"Why your fault?" asked Fluttershy

"I kept him away from you when me and him first moved to Ponyville. I'm to blame." said Twilight with guilt.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, Twilight." said Fluttershy kindly. "You were just trying to warn us about Nightmare Moon's return that day."

"I know."

"So, can Spike stay with me for a little while. I want him to be happy. When I saw him earlier, he was crying." said Fluttershy

Twilight thought of what she said "Of course he can stay with you."

"Really?" said Fluttershy in an excited voice

"Of course. If he was crying, then I want to make him feel happy. I would hate to see him cry like this as much as you would." said Twilight

"What about any chore?" asked Fluttershy.

"Don't worry, I'll do them" said Twilight. "I want him to be happy too."

"Oh, Thank you Twilight." said Fluttershy in an excited voice.

"You're welcome. But please, make him feel happy."

"I will." Fluttershy replied. "I'll see you later." she said as she went out the door.

"Bye, Fluttershy." Twilight called before closing the door, and then she went back to her reading.

Back at Fluttershy's cottage

Fluttershy came back home to see Spike just sitting and relaxing on a chair. "I'm back." she said

"What did Twilight say?" asked the baby dragon a little eager.

"She said it was okay." Fluttershy answered.

"Yes!" Spike exclaimed with happiness, and he jumped with excitement. "Soooo.... what should we do right now?"

"Well.... we can have a tea party, or tell each-other stories." Fluttershy suggested. "But, Spike... I wanna tell you something about how I feel."

"What's that?"

Fluttershy cleared her throat, and she sung:

Rights for this song goes to Poets of the Fall

After she finished, Spike felt a few tears running down his face. He was touched to here those words come out of Fluttershy's mouth. "You really mean that?"

"Of course I do." said Fluttershy. "I love you Spikey-whikey." then she gave him another kiss on the forehead. "Let me get ourselves some tea,: she said going to her kitchen. This sounds like Spike and Fluttershy will be having a good time together
