Baby Steps, Spike...

"I KNEW IT! KNEW IT,KNEW IT, KNEW IT!" Rainbow Dash shouts. Applejack mutters

"Rainbow, I think we already knew, we just had to make sure it was certified",

"So it's not true if it's not certified?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yes Rainbow, so anyway-" Applejack gets cut off by Rainbow Dash (again)

" So then it would be true if it was certified" she asks excitedly ,

"Ugh, yes! Anyway Spik-",

"So is it certified or not?" Rainbow Dash bellows out. Applejack gives Rainbow Dash the "Shut Up" look and turns back to me.

"Anyway, Spike what are you going to do?" Applejack asks.

"I-I don't know" I stammer. Applejack and Rainbow Dash gasp,

"LOVE EMERGRENCY!!!!". Suddenly, Rainbow Dash swoops me up, and zooms me to Sweet Apple Acres with Applejack running underneath us. Rainbow Dash then lays me down on a piece of hay.

"Alright, If ya want Rarity to love ya, you gotta take her on a date" Applejack suggests,

"Whoa! Applejack, that's Level 12 dude! LEVEL 12! He's only on Level 1" Rainbow shouts. Level 12? Level 1? When did romance turn into a video game?

"Okay, then how do I get to uh, Level 12?" I ask nervously,

"By playing The Love Games of course!!" Applejack and Rainbow answer. Ugh, what am I getting myself into?

"Level 1: Servant Boy" Rainbow calls out. This can only end so well.

"You gotta do everything Rarity tells you to do" Applejack explains. That doesn't seem to hard, I usually all ready do that. Except, now there are two ponies watching me do it. I walk over to Rarity's house, where she is making a new dress for a client.

"Hey, Rare. You need some help?" I ask anxiously,

"No, but thank you" she answers. I walk out of Rarity's house, when Applejack and Rainbow Dash stop me.

"Where are you going?" Rainbow asks,

"Forget it girls, she doesn't need my help" I answer.

"Just because she doesn't need you, doesn't mean she doesn't WANT you to help" Applejack says. And for once, I was really hoping the Element of Honesty was telling the truth. I walk back into Rarity's house,

"Need some help?" I ask,

"No, Spike I already told you! Now p-please leave me alone and let me WORK." she answers annoyed. I run out of the house quickly before Rarity explodes. (Trust me she can get annoyed pretty easily).

"Forget it girls, and I mean it! Rarity is about to explode!" I stammer.

"Well I guess this means that we're going to have to skip Levels 2 to 9. That stinks! That means we can't put him in a mariachi costume and make him play a guitar " Rainbow whines. Well, I'm glad we get to skip that one!

"Okay, so what is number 10?" I ask,

"It's Level 10" Applejack corrects,

"Anyway, Level 10 is that you got to send her a love letter" she explains. Well, that's not so bad. I write letters to Princess Celestia all the time. Except most of the time the letter isn't for me, it's for one of my friends. And plus, this is worse because it's a letter to my crush!

"Well lover boy, grab a piece of paper and a quill and get to writing that letter!" Rainbow Dash shouts. I grab some materials and sit at a desk in Twilight's Library. (With Applejack and Rainbow Dash RIGHT BEHIND ME). *Dear Rarity* I start to write. I think for a bit and write the last words *I LOVE YOU from Spike*.

"Are you kiddin me Spike?" Applejack bellows. " I Love You is not enough!" she screams. I really didn't see the problem, a cut straight to the chase!

"Try it like this 'Roses are red Violets are blue I'm a dragon, but I love you anyway" Rainbow Dash suggests. Wow, what a great poet.

"Am I the only one who thinks that poem is ridiculous?" I ask hoping Applejack might side with me.

"Yup!" Applejack responds. Great, now I'm stuck with an "amazing" poem.

I'm about to put it in the mailbox when Rainbow Dash zooms up to me.

"You should send her a gift!" she shouts,

"Silly-Sugar-Cube, that's Level 11" Applejack responds like Rainbow Dash had said the dumbest thing in all of Equestria.

"But, we could combine them into Level 110" Rainbow Dash suggests. I side with Rainbow and attach a jewel on the letter and place it in the mailbox. The next day I wake up with Twilight hovering over me with a wide grin on her face.

"A letter for Lover Boy" she snickers. I couldn't even hear her comment because I was filled with joy. Rarity had responded! I rip open the letter. It reads: Dear Spike, Thank you so much for the jewel and the letter. Love you too XOXO. Love, Rarity.( Also had a delicious jewel on the front). I couldn't believe it.

I was on Level 12.
