Rarity and the Curious Dragon

Spike is seen standing on the front step of Rarity's boutique. Spike takes a deep breath and raises his hand to knock on the door. However, before he could do such a simple task, his hand trembled and shook. He tried so hard to force himself to make one simple knock on the door, but it was no use.

Spike than thinks to himself; "Come on Spike! You can do this.....Just knock on the door.....JUST.KNOCK.ON.THE.DO-" and without warning, he hears a big bang inside Rarity's boutique. The young dragon breaks down the door and runs in to see what was going on.

Inside he see Rarity, laying on the ground in pain. He runs over to her, kneels down and says in a worried tone of voice; "Oh my gosh! Are you okay?!"

"Spike? Is that you?" said Rarity still in pain.

"Yes, Rarity what happened?" said Spike

"I was making my way up the stairs when I tripped and fell backwards. I think I hurt my back really bad!" said Rarity in a very painful tone of voice.

Spike rises up and helps Rarity up her stairs to her bedroom lays her in her bed on her side.

"Rarity, I hope you will be okay. I came over here to see you." said Spike

Rarity looks at Spike with big eyes "What did you come here to see me for darling?"

"There was something I've been wanting to talk to you about." said Spike "I just don't know how to say it."

"Hold that thought darling, could you mind doing me a little favor?" asked the injured unicorn.

"Anything!" said Spike.

"Downstairs, I keep a small bottle of champagne in my fridge. Would you mind bringing me a small glass of it, and feel free to help yourself to some as well! It would help me alot with this back pain." asked Rarity politely and sweet.

"Of course!" Spike says as he runs down the stairs into the kitchen.

Spike grabs the bottle, two glasses and makes his way upstairs back to Rarity's bedroom.

"I brought the entire bottle just in case you wanted more after your first, If that's okay?" said Spike.

"Of course dear, that is quite alright!" Rarity says in a less painful tone.

Spike opens the bottle and pours two glasses of champagne. The two than proceed to sit and talk as Rarity sips her drink and asks Spike what he had stopped by for.

"Well you see Rarity, I stopped by because I....I wanted to......Um....."

"You wanted to what darling? Don't be afraid to ask me." said the unicorn as she refills her glass.

"I wanted to ask if.....you could fill my glass too?"

"Of course darling, but don't tell Twilight!" she giggles and winks as she fills the glass.

"You see Rarity, I came over cause I was looking to tell you something." said the tipsy dragon as he sipped his drink.

"Of course darling, do tell me what is on your mind!" said Rarity as she pours her third glass.

"You see Rarity....I came over to tell you that....I..wanted to speak my feelings." said the nervous dragon.

Rarity pauses her sipping of her drink and looks at Spike.

"You see Rarity...from the first time Twilight and I came to Ponyville and we met you, I instantly felt this....feeling. I....I can't ever stop thinking of you. Everytime I see you, my heart races, I get nervous, I just....I....I like you."

Rarity places her glass down, clears her throat and says;

"Well Spike......I... like you too." said the tipsy unicorn.

"You....you do?" said Spike as he puts his glass up to his lips.

"Yes...." said Rarity.

"You know what darling, my back is really hurting, do you mind if you just massage it a little bit for me, I could really use it." said Rarity.

"Of course!" said Spike as he jumps up on to Rarity's bed and starts to massage her back.

"Like this?" said the champagne filled dragon.

"Mmmmm yes just like that darling."

As Spike rubs Rarity's back, he begins to notice that Rarity keeps looking back at him, but looks away as he looks back at her. Spike just focused on massaging Rarity's tense back.

"Oh darling, mind if I just turn over, I would like to talk to you; face to face."

Rarity proceeds to turn herself over. She finally manages to sit up and look at Spike.

"Darling, I just wanna say thank you for all that you have done to make me feel so much better, I could have never asked for such assistant like you." said Rarity with a happy toned voice.

"It was my pleasure!" said Spike.

"Spike, would you maybe want to accompany me on my trip to Canterlot on Friday?" asked the pain free unicorn.

"Of....of course!" said Spike

"Great! Its a date!" said Rarity.

As Spike clinks his glass against Rarity's, he than thinks to himself; "You did it Spike. You finally became the big dragon!"
