Dragon's Quest 2 (DQ2 #1)

Dreams

The light of the moon shone over an earth pony's farm, and the young dragon stood in one of the nearby apple trees, watching with his reptilian green eyes as the last of its residents entered the farmhouse after a long days work.

Perfect timing, the young dragon thought to himself.

He waited until the lights in the farmhouse extinguished, and then turned his attention to the nearby chicken coop. All of the chickens were asleep in the coop, save for one that was still outside and grazing, as if waiting for some more chicken feed. The dragon had observed that this chicken had the tendency to always stay out after the sun went down.

The dragon began to leap from tree to tree until he reached the one nearest to the chicken coop. He then brought up a closed hand and opened it to reveal a small amount of chicken feed. He tossed it onto the ground and waited. The chicken had heard the light tap of the seeds and moved towards it. It proceeded to start eating as the dragon watched from his tree.

That's it thought the dragon enjoy your last meal.

The chicken was near to finishing the feed as the dragon leaned forward, while using his claws to hang on to the tree. He let go and got into a crouched position on the branch he was standing on.

"Flightless" the dragon whispered to himself "easy prey".

He used his legs to propel himself forward. Towards the helpless bird.

The immense dragon (silhouetted for some reason) emerged from under its blanket of gold coins and gems and sniffed the air trying to find the intruder in its mountain lair. But it could not see the intruder, as the white unicorn mare had cast a cloaking spell on herself.

Then he spoke.

Thief

The unicorn's hooves didn't move, as she was standing on top of the dragon's large horde of coins, but she lowered her body as the dragon's great head came towards her.

I smell you. I hear your breath.

The unicorn was now crouching as the dragon's head passed over her. The dragon turned its head back in her direction. Where are you?! It said in a loud whisper.

The unicorn was now fully upright and the dragon's head being only a foot away was her cue to move. She hurriedly trotted away from the dragon, but he of course heard her steps among the millions of coins and followed them, his coins parting like waves as he moved through them.

The unicorn finally came to a stop behind a large pillar hoping she had thrown the dragon off course. But he had followed accurately and was within range. Come now, don't be shy.

Great week

Step into the light!

The dragon's last word echoed through Spike's head until he awoke with a start. Spike's eyes shot open as he lay in bed, like somepony had shouted or slapped him awake. Spike smiled and sat up to stretch out his arms. Since most dreams aren't immediately remembered, he felt as if he had gotten an excellent night of sleep. In fact, that's how he had been feeling for the past two weeks. The amount of time that had passed after his first kiss on the lips from Ra-, first kiss on the lips perio-, no, first kiss on the lips from Rarity.

Ever since Rarity had accidentally and unknowingly kissed Spike on the lips, he had been having the best nights of sleep in his young dragon life. But that wasn't the only thing that had helped. As it turns out, Rarity had needed all the gems she had Spike help her collect in order to fill out a difficult custom order. And despite thinking that Spike probably didn't want to spend so much time helping her, (yeah right) she still went to the library to ask him.

Just to be sure, she thought to herself as she walked to the library. (Uh Huh) It's not like he's always my first choice. (Mmhmm) I could have asked somepony else. (Of course) It's not like I adore and cherish every single moment with my handsome and adorable little Spikey Wi- I mean with Spike. (Riiiiiiiiiiiight)

Spike had answered the door almost immediately after her first knock, which he would continue to do for the rest of the week, and was more than willing to say yes to Rarity's request. After the third day Rarity asked for some help, Spike proposed that he just go straight to her boutique from now on and save her the trip. He of course had to ask Twilight's permission first since he usually has to do chores or assist Twilight with her studies. Twilight decided to throw her little brother a bone and give him the days off for a few reasons.

One) Spike had been going all out with his chores after gaining a skip in his step from the kiss. She swore she could just barely see her own reflection in the floor after one of his sweeps.

The wood floor.

Two) after his first day of helping Rarity and being told he might be needed the next day, he did his morning chores a little too fast and not as well as before. He did this in order to be ready sooner for when Rarity came. And although it was so far a one-time incident, she decided not to risk another.

Three) since her current studies didn't really require Spike's assistance, Spike was free anyway. Plus they wouldn't take up a lot of time, so Sheld-, I mean Twilight, decided she would take up Spike's morning chores, as she had heard that Starswirl himself had come up with some ingenious things while doing menial things. So she would do Spike's chores to see if the creative juices of her mind could come up with something in the recess of her mind.

Four) The more time Spike spent with Rarity, the more he could help, the faster Rarity could get her order finished, the faster Spike could get back to the library doing a well and not rushed job with his chores.

As a sign of gratitude to his older sister, Spike promised not to bring up her snooping from before so he and Rarity wouldn't make jokes about it. This earned him a caring and thankful hug from Twilight. He and Rarity made jokes about it and had a good laugh. But don't go thinking Spike goes back on his word. Here's what went down.

"And in return for giving me the rest of the week off to help you, I promised not to bring up her eavesdropping so we could make jokes" Spike relayed to Rarity in her boutique.

"How kind of her" Rarity responded happily "I will have to make sure to thank her for that once this is all over. And I'm especially proud of you Spike, making that promise to a sister you aren't even related to."

Spike beamed with pride at this, with a small hint of blush on his cheeks.

"Aw, it was nothing."

"Though" Rarity mused "it would have been a good deal of fun to make a few jokes."

"Yeah, it would've been" Spike agreed.

Rarity turned to one of the dresses she was making and her eyes narrowed, corner of her mouth forming a small devilish grin. "Which is why, I'm sure you'll agree, it's a good thing that I made no such promise."

Spike's eyes widened at the mare of his dreams. "Wait" he said while raising his hands to indicate wait "are you serious?"

"Oh come now Spike" Rarity said with a giggle "it's an incredibly rare instance that we get to have some fun at Twilight's expense, and it's all in good fun. It'll be like Rainbow Dash and Pinkie pulling pranks." Spike was slumped forward, his arms hanging, mouth open with a smile, in amazement at the unicorn before him. "And besides, you promised that you wouldn't bring it up, not me." Spike turned towards the scree-, the empty spa-, one of the walls of Rarity's boutique and said "Sweet Celestia I love this mare."

"Hm?" Rarity was still working on the dress and hadn't seen Spike turn. "I said, 'sweet, let’s make some jokes about that mare', so what do you need help with?" Rarity found Spike's wording odd but thought nothing else of it and turned back to the dress. "I'll need some pins and needles at the ready please."

"Sure thing" Spike replied and zipped away, returning next to Rarity in his previous living pincushion position with various needles and pins between his scales. "Pins on the left, needles on the right."

"Thank you Spike." Rarity go to work on her dress while she and Spike joked about Twilight.

"I'm gonna have a brother!"

Twilight turned her head towards the door of the library after hearing that loud exclamation. Hmm. I guess somepony in town is expecting. I'll have to find out whom and congratulate them. It was Sunday evening, the sun was close to setting and Twilight was sitting upstairs reading, having recently finished her studies of the week.

Thonk

Thonk

Twilight raised her head upon hearing the sound.

Thonk

Thonk

Twilight raised an eyebrow in confusion. It sounded like someone was at the door, but their knocking was odd.

Thonk

Thonk

It sounded rather blunt, and each set of "knocks" was one second apart. Who could tha-?

Thonk

Thonk

Okay now this is getting weird. I better check who or what is making that noise. Another set of odd knocks followed as Twilight went down the stairs of the library. She finally reached the door and yet another set began.

Thonk

Twilight opened the door before the second thonk happened and was startled by Spike floating past her while holding a large bag. Yes. Floating.

"What the?" Spike was now floating in the center of the library, allowing Twilight to see why and how he was floating. It looked like Spike was hanging face down in a swing, except his head was up and looking straight ahead. He also had a big goofy smile plastered on his face, with a faraway look in his narrowed eyes to accompany it. As for the reason of his floating, Spike's limbs were all hanging down except for his tail. His tail was pointed straight up, the end of it spinning rapidly, acting as a propeller.

"Oh"

Twilight approached Spike with a confused look about her, and quickly gripped Spike magically when she saw he was starting to float upwards. "Uh Spike?" Twilight regarded her little brother "Mind explaining why you're like this?" Five seconds passed before Spike answered with one word and a dreamy tone.

"Guess" Another confused look came over Twilight. Okay. Twilight began to think, remembering that she had seen Spike like this one time before. Just not the floating part, that was new, even Pinkie would later ask how he did it. Twilight's eyes widened in shock, the same way they did the last time this happened.

There's "No way" she finished out loud. Spike just nodded slowly as if to say yes way. "You're yanking my mane." Spike slowly shook his head no. Twilight released her magic grip on Spike, only to immediately grab him with her front hooves and start to shake him, while the same expression stayed on his face. As she shook him she asked "HOW?!"

(Wha apent) - (that is how I intended to spell the words)

About an hour before Celestia was going to lower the sun, Rarity had finished the three custom ordered dresses. Sweetie Belle had also arrived from her daily crusading but went off to her room upon Rarity's request. Rarity had been working on the dresses all week, and she was quite proud of herself. Despite the challenge of having to work for most of the week to make the dresses perfect, she pulled it off with more ease than she thought she'd have. She couldn't explain what it was. Something just put her in the zone the entire time, but with a sense of ease and relaxation to it. It was as if there was something or somepony with her that just made her feel like she could pull this off with little to no difficulty. As if something was giving her a surprising amount of emotional support, so much so that it felt like another usual day in the shop.

…

"They're amazing Rarity, really some of your best work" Spike observed. (Speak of the devil) "Actually, your best work period."

"Oh Spike you flatter me too much" Rarity mused "It's not that big of a deal, I just "got in the zone" as it were. It's not even the most effort I've put into an order." Spike's head faced downward while his eyes were still fixed on Rarity in a disbelieving manner.

"You're kidding right? Rarity, these are more than ten parsecs beyond amazing and they took you all week."

"Ten what?" Rarity questioned. "I learned it from Twilight when she was studying the stars once" Spike explained "It's a unit of distance (not time) that's like trillions of miles for just one."Rarity blinked at the young dragon. "Hehe yeah" Spike said "When you grow up with an older sister that studies sta-, everything and has a cutie mark that looks like stars and has a teacher whose name has to do with space, you kinda learn stuff unintentionally."

Rarity began to laugh uncontrollably with Spike soon joining in. "Oh Spike, you never cease to amaze me." Rarity had Spike take a note and use his magic fire breath to deliver a message to the three mares that ordered the dresses saying that they were ready to be picked up. "By the way, you never told me who these dresses were for" Spike said "and why did you need to send them a message that they were ready?"

"Oh I can't believe myself!" Rarity said in a somewhat outraged tone "here I am taking up your free time and I didn't even tell you anything about it."

"NO NO IT'S FINE!" Spike quickly said "I was just curious. And for the record, helping you is in no way shape or form a waste of my free ti-, actually not a waste of any of my time at all." Rarity was so touched that she didn't register that the gesture she just did wasn't in her head. She had raised a hoof to her heart, her eyes taking an emotional look, and she had a small open-mouthed smile. Seeing this made Spike form a small smile, blush and lower and turn his head while lightly kicking at the ground bashfully. Seeing that made Rarity realize she had actually done the gesture, and was still in the position, so she quickly regained a normal stance while blushing.

"Ahem…yes well…I'll just explain then." Oh yes, brilliant save Rarity's inner voice said sarcastically. "Three young mares from Manehattan ordered these for their senior prom and requested that they be notified when they were ready so they could pick them up" Rarity explained. "So you can now see why I needed to go all out. Senior prom is the most important moment for a mare, after her wedding of course. Dreamy sigh, I still remember my senior prom, it was my greatest shining moment, especially with my homemade dress rivaling all the other mares. Of course it's going to be a filly beauty pageant compared to my wedding."

At the mention of wedding, Spike got a look like Cheerilee and Big Mac had when they got it in their heads, except you know, his was divided by like a thousand. Think about Big Mac and Cheerilee before, you'll agree nopony will have a deep enough look like that.

Just as he was imagining his marriage to Rarity, the image froze and he did a rewind. "Wait, the only school in Ponyville is Cheerilee's, how did you go to a high school senior prom?" Without missing a beat, due to being in the moment, she said "I used some money I saved up to take a trip to the nearest high school in Manehattan." Spike's eyes widened and his eyebrows knitted.

Rarity finally realized what she just said and was incredibly embarrassed. She quickly turned around to see Spike rolling on the ground, rapid puffs of air escaping through his nose, hands doing their best to hold in the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of his entire life because that is hilarious.

"Spike!" Rarity said angrily "Are you laughing?!" Spike finally removed his hands and was letting out gasp laughs, trying to regain some air in his lungs. "Of…of course n… of course not …Ra…Ra…Rarity." Spike let out a snort and went back to using his hands to hold in his RAH laugh. Rarity took an annoyed look (think Flutterguy when Pinkie had her sing in her place) while waiting for Spike to finish.

1. Minutes. Later.

Spike was catching his breath after his five minute long RAH laugh. "Finished Spikey?" Rarity sarcastically asked with a cocked eyebrow. "Ehehe, yeah" Spike said finally catching his breath and picking himself up from the floor. "You were saying?" No sooner than Spike said that, he was immediately pinned to the wall by Rarity. Okay. Pinned to the wall by the mare that Fort Canterknox stole my heart. Not complaining was Spike's immediate thought.

"Now you better listen to me Spike, you are not to tell anypony what I said about senior prom, or you won't be allowed to come over to the boutique for a month and a half. Do I make myself clear?" As she finished with the question, Rarity inched her lowered face toward Spikes to the point that they were an inch apart. Since she was too in the mood, she didn't really pay attention to the look on Spike's face. He had an eyebrow cocked and had a flirtatious smile.

"Sure, but just one question" Spike said when his eyes suddenly changed to their reptilian green. "If I tell even one pony" Spike began "am I gonna find myself in this same position with you?" he said while using the end of his tale to raise her face by the chin.

Rarity's eyes widened in surprise. What in the…world? Any thoughts of immediately pulling away completely disappeared as Spike's reptilian green eyes mesmerized her.

…

Spike was staring off into space, lost in the past moment.

"THEN WHAT?!" shouted Twilight. "Oh yeah" Spike continued.

The three mares (earth, pega and uni, because diversity) that had ordered their prom dresses had arrived at the boutique and had knocked three times already. Spike and Rarity hadn't heard them, or rather were more preoccupied to notice.

"Um like excuse me" one of the mares called out. She received no response. "Hello?!" The three mares were startled to hear a mare’s voice, yes a mare, yell out "Do you mind?!"

"Excuuuuuse me?!"

"Hello?!" Rarity was about to close the distance when she heard someone outside her boutique. A frustrated and outraged look overcame her face as she turned and yelled out "Do you mind?!"

"Excuuuuuse me?!" An individual outside responded. A look of surprise and horror overtook Rarity at the realization that the three mares had arrived and what she did in response. Rarity's cheeks became a vibrant dark red as she Rainbow Dashed away from Spike to do business.

Spike landed on his feet, Rarity had been holding him up while pinning him to the wall, and his eyes returned to their usual appearance. He couldn't entirely recall what transpired after Rarity threatened him with temporary banishment from the boutique, but he did know he was incredibly close to getting a lip kiss from Rarity. How, he had no idea. But he was aware that Rarity was now completing the transaction with the three mares. And he was a little ticked about being interrupted.

"Oh dears I am so terriblysorryforkeepingyouwaitingandformyoutburst, I was occupied with…something else."

"Whatever, are our dresses ready or not?"

"Oh of course" Rarity said. She magicked the three dresses into the main room. As soon as the three mares saw the dresses, they all gasped in shock. "Oh" "My" "Celestia"

"They're PERFECT!"

The three dresses were all essentially the same design but with different colors. One was pink, one was blue, and the other green. The dresses were a cross between Twilight's Grand Galloping Gala dress and Charlotte La Bouff's dress from The Princess and the Frog, with the puffiness and glitteriness and everything.

But then there was the custom modification that the mares asked for. The entire centers of the dresses were a lighter shade of their respective colors while the three-inch trim was a darker shade. And to top it off, the trim of the dresses were laced with the gemstones Spike and Rarity had collected. The blue had sapphires, the green emeralds, and the pink had dark red rubies.

The three young mares were squealing so long that Rarity began to worry that they would pass out from lack of oxygen. Spike's face sagged in annoyance and he covered his ears with his hands.

The three mares finally stopped but followed it up with something almost as bad, or worse. A never-ending barrage of thanks and OMC's. "Oh it was really no trouble darlings" Rarity gushed "A mare's senior prom is her greatest shining moment after her wedding of course."

"Thank you"

"Finally somepony who gets us"

"Right?"

The presumably lead mare (unicorn) raced out of the boutique and just as quickly raced back in using her magic to carry three large bags filled with bits. "Here's your pay!" the mare said "Go ahead and keep the change! Now we hafta take these back home and leave them perfect for the prom in a month!" she squealed.

"A month!" Spike and Rarity said simultaneously. "Now darlings I'm surprised at you," Rarity said. The three mares suddenly stopped fawning over their dresses to look at Rarity. Spikes eyes shifted back in forth between the mares and Rarity, unsure of what was going to happen.

"You should have put in the order two months in advance or you might not have been prepared in time" Rarity said gleefully. Spikes eyes rested momentarily on the readers as the three mares agreed with Rarity. "But thankfully I had little Spike here to help me." Rarity gestured to Spike, who was surprised to hear his contribution made clear.

Then the three mares gasped. Oh no, Spike thought, here it comes. When it came to young adult mares, most regarded Spike as if he were some icky creature. That's not what happened with these mares.

"You have a baby dragon helping you?!" The three mares began to fawn over Spike now. No complaints about personal space again was his immediate thought. "Oh he's adorable." Rarity smiled and stepped forward "He is indeed."

"He's the cutest wittle thing I've ever seen"

"And he helped with our dresses?" Rarity kept her smile, but her eyes narrowed as she said "Yes he did."

"Oh I just wanna take him home and keep him forever" Rarity's eyes were practically closed they were so narrow. Meanwhile Spike was reveling in the attention and his eyes became reptilian green once again. "Nah it was nothin', I was glad to help."

Ay si

"Maybe we should each give him a little reward" the lead mare suggested in an out of nowhere flirtatious tone. Now one of Rarity's eyes began to twitch. Everypony was too preoccupied with Spike to notice that an intoxicating and enticing aroma had filled the boutique.

"Yeah, but it should be something really special like"

"A kiss from each of us" Spikes green eyes widened at that comment, as did Rarity's who still had a smile on her face. "Well I'm not gonna reject a free lip kiss from three beautiful mares."

"Who said lips?" one of the mares asked. "Confident little guy huh?"

"Then again, mares do respond to confidence" said the lead mare, who then proceeded to pucker her lips and began to inch her face closer to Spike's.

Rarity snapped as two thoughts entered her head:

I'm the only one he calls beautiful!

AND I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO GIVES HIM KISSES!

With that, Rarity caught the mares and their dresses in a magic hold and yanked them away from Spike. She proceeded to take them out of her boutique while Pinkie talking "NOW GIRLS, YOU SHOULD REALLY START HEADING HOME WITH YOUR DRESSES, BACK IN MANEHATTAN, FAR AWAY FROM HERE, DON'T YOU THINK?" Once outside the boutique in the fresh air, the four mare's minds became clearer, and the three customers went back to thinking of their dresses.

"Oh my gosh you're right!"

"Totally"

"Let's go!"

The three hopped in their Pegasus drawn cart (if it isn't clear by now, they're parents are doing quite well financially) and left Ponyville. Rarity gave a quick nod of her head with a humph and began walking back to the boutique. Then her mind was clear and she stopped just outside the shop.

What in the hay just happened?! It almost seemed like a blur, but Rarity was aware of the fact that Spike wasn't just receiving attention from some other mare(s) but seemed to be enjoying it. A little more than he should have. Hehe no, he was enjoying it at just the right amount. But what got into you Rarity? The unicorn asked herself.

(For the record, the aroma only began to affect Rarity when the kiss suggestion came up.)

You actually forced three mares out of your shop. Almost as if you felt jealou-…

Nooooooo, I couldn't have been. (Sure you weren't) That's ridiculous (Is it though?) That would mean I'd be upset by the thought alone of somepony else kissing my-...........

Rarity immediately pushed all those thoughts to the farthest recesses of her mind. But they were fighting to stay out and about. Then she entered and saw that Spike (whose eyes were back to normal) had emptied the bit bags to count the coins and had stacked the coins into three separate groups of columns. Like the last time, Spike couldn't entirely recall what transpired, just that a lip kiss from a pretty mare had something to do with it.

"Oh you're back" Spike said "You were out there for a few minutes, is everything okay?"

I have no idea

"Just fine Spike" Rarity answered "I see you took the liberty of counting the bits." Spike nodded "Well that one mare said keep the change so I figured I could help you out a little more and find out how much more of a profit you made.” Awwww, always so generous. Rarity then shook her head clear. "So uh how much more did I earn?"

"Depends on how much you were charging for those dresses" Spike answered. "It was about eight hundred bits."

"Wow" Spikes eyes widened. "Oh do you think that was too much?"

"They didn't seem to think so" Spike said "cause each bag had one thousand bits!"

"What?!"

"Yeah"

"So I turned an extra profit of"

"Six hundred bits, yup."

Rarity put a hoof to her mouth, thinking it was no use chasing after the mares to return their extra money, since they were probably already back in Manehattan. So Rarity did the usual do that she does do in these situations.

She fainted.

After regaining consciousness, Rarity came to a decision about what to do with the rest of the money. "You want me to take it?!" said a surprised Spike. "All of it, yes" Rarity confirmed. "But… it's your money" Spike argued "You made the dresses, it belongs to you."

"It's your reward for helping me for the week Spikey Wikey, I want you to take it."

"But I can't"

"You will and you'll like it" Rarity reaffirmed. Spike had to think fast as Rarity held out the bag of bits with her magic. Ding. "Counteroffer, I take half and you can keep the other half or give it to somepony else. I bet Sweetie Belle could use it to finance her club."

Now Rarity was really touched and amazed, Spike actually took her little sister into consideration. "All right then, deal" Rarity said as she levitated a large amount of coins out of the sack and handed it to Spike.

And then…

DING DING DING DING DING

"But I wouldn't mind another sort of reward to replace the half" Spike said. "Really? Well what did you have in mind?"

"Oh I don't know" Spike said as he rocked back and forth on his feet. "Nothing's really coming to mind" he said as he put a fist to the side of his face and quite obviously indicated his cheek by tapping at it with his index finger.

Rarity smiled and rolled her eyes as she said somewhat sarcastically "Would a kiss on the cheek do?"

(Quick note: Spike's eye change would look like a green film covering his eyes, but it’s just a color and iris change)

Spike's eye flashed green for half a second. "Not a bad suggestion."

"Will you take it or not?"

"Take take take." Rarity gave a light chuckle and began to inch closer to Spike, who was presenting his cheek. She puckered her lips and slowly began to close her eyes. And Spike made his move. He purposefully turned his head, and got a kiss from Rarity on the lips. AGAIN!

What Spike didn't see before closing his eyes for the kiss was that Rarity hadn't closed her eyes completely when he moved his head, and had seen Spike do it on purpose. Rarity's eyes shot open when their lips made contact, while Spike's were closed. Why you little sneak! Of all the sneakiest things you could do this is The. Most. Sneakiest…sneakiest…softest…best...kiss I've ever… "Hmm" Rarity's thoughts changed from outrage to bliss as her eyes closed. Neither she nor Spike realizing how long this was going.

Sweetie Belle had come downstairs to see if Rarity had finished her work and arrived just in time to hear Rarity reveal her senior prom story. Sweetie Belle already knew it, since having dirt on a sibling was a given, but it was Spike's reaction that sent her over the edge. Luckily, Sweetie Belle was in the next room out of sight and she had learned a temporary self-muting spell from Twilight and put it to good use. Then Rarity pinned Spike to the wall and Sweetie Belle's lower jaw dropped down as Spike got all 007 Sean Coltery on Rarity.

She reactivated the muting spell to shout, "OH COME ON" when the moment was interrupted. She did it again when laughing about the three mare debacle. This is GOLD she thought I can't wait to tell Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. But then the current situation happened.

Sweetie Belle poked her head out when Rarity suggested Spike's alternate half payment. Oh I've gotta see this. But her mouth fell open when the lips of Spike and her older sister met. OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH

Then Rarity moaned and Sweetie Belle moved completely into the doorway of the room she was in.

Oh my gosh line times 50.

Then Sweetie Belle's shocked expression turned into the giant smile from the Hearts and Hooves Day love poison dilemma, and her mind reeled with thoughts of the future.

Dating

Proposal

Marriage

Honeymoon

Babies

Half dragon nieces and or nephews

Or maybe

Dating

Babies

Then marriage

But most of all having a dragon brother in law and making DT and SS jealousssssss

Rarity and Spike finally broke their kiss with their eyes still closed, and still not knowing how long it was. Minute and a half. They opened their eyes but not entirely, and they both wore love struck expressions that neither really noticed on the other. The end of Spike's tail began to spin rapidly and levitated him up in the air. "Goodbye Spikey Wikey" Rarity said dreamily. "Bye Rarity" Spike said as he left through the door holding the sack of bits.

Rarity closed the door and leaned against it, fanning herself with her hoof. "Woo, my my my it certainly did get hot in here." She did actually mean it, she just wasn't really aware of the expression on her face or the tone she had spoken in. Yeah.

She began to lightly trot towards and up the stairs, all thoughts of confusion or weirdness replaced with pure bliss. She was going to go to her room, collapse on her bed, and let out a dreamy sigh before nodding off. But halfway up she stopped as her brain began to redeliver her senses. She realized that her peripheral vision had caught a glimpse of a very happy looking Sweetie Belle. And mortification took over as she Rainbow Dashed back downstairs. Rarity came face to face with Sweetie Belle.

"Sweetie Belle!" Sweetie Belle appeared to be frozen in her Hearts and Hooves Day smile. "How long have you been standing there?!" though judging by her smile, she had a pretty good idea of how long. And the mortification increased. "Sweetie Belle?" No change. Now she was slightly concerned. "Sweetie Be-?"

"I'M GONNA HAVE A BROTHER!"

That set Rarity into a combo of Rainbow and Pinkie Speed. She magically gripped Sweetie Belle, raced upstairs to her room, dropped Sweetie Belle on the floor and began to magically grab every pillow, blanket, cushion and towel she could get into one large collection.

"I'M GON-" Before Sweetie Belle could finish, Rarity dropped the pile she collected on top of her little sister to silence her. Rarity jumped on top of the pile and shouted "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND YOU SILLY FILLY?!" But Sweetie Belle was still in the same mood, as evident by Rarity hearing muffled yells and feeling the vibration through the material. After about an hour and pushing the pile into Sweetie Belle's room, Rarity did as she had intended before. She collapsed on her bed and drifted off to pleasant dreams after a dreamy sigh.

Normally Twilight would have given her little brother advice on how to properly handle a large amount of money. But normally that kind of thing isn't preceded by a telling of events that shoves a lot of dynamite into her head and blows her mind to the point of stunned speechlessness.

Spike put away his bag of bits and floated into bed with the same goofy expression plastered on his face, while Twilight went to sleep with her mouth agape and her eyes wide open. Her eyes and mouth stayed open through the night, but she did sleep via her brain shutting down her consciousness. And the thought in Spikes head before falling asleep was "Best Day Ever."
