Cutie mark cursadors rejecters!

“No we ain’t doing it”

Apple Bloom said sternly, pouting.

"Yeah we tired so hard to to get them together in the first place" Sweetie Belle chimed in smiling at the thought of their efforts finally working. Scootaloo made a gagging noise and walked away. "Love is overrated" She said as she walked to the corner of the clubhouse. Spike sighed.

"Look, if you do this, I'll try to find a spell for Twilight to give you cutie marks, okay?"

Apple Bloom looked like she was slipping. The two trotted over to her and covered her mouth. "No deal, dragon." said Scootaloo.

"Yeah.. the last time a cutie mark was added by magic, it didn't go so well."

Sweetie Belle added, avoiding Apple Bloom's glare.

"Arrrrrg fine! i'll do it myself"

Spike grumbled, sulking away from the tree house in disappointment. It's a good thing he remembered the name of the book they used.

Ingredient Quest

Spike groaned at the ingredients . He needed a pegasus to get them.  "A tuff of cloud, a bright rainbow's glow, and pegasus feather." Rainbows glow. Rainbow Dash could help. But, she was the most stubborn pony around. It would be impossible to get her to help. He sighed and looked for her. She was mostly in clouds dale, or, practicing her flying. Or, napping in a tree, where is which Spike found her.

"Hey rainbow Dash!"  She continued snoring. "RAINBOW DASH!" she still snored, even louder. Spike saw a rock and hesitantly  picked it up. He aimed at the branch beside her and threw. His aim was off and the rock hit Rainbow Dash on the head.

"Hey what the buck was that for!" she growled, rubbing her head and wincing in pain. Spike waved sheepishly.  "What do you want?!" she said, glaring at him.

I uh.. need help to get these ingredients"  She looked at the piece of paper and laughed.

"Nah, sorry." He went on his knees and stared begging.

"Please, Ill do anything!" She smirked. "Oh really? Anything?"

Spike grimaced. He had to clean Rainbow Dashes house on the ground. She sure was messy. After this, he had to race her, carrying a wheel barell of rocks. And win.  He shouldn't of said he'd do anything, knowing how much of  a bitch she was. After cleaning her house, it was time for the race.

"Ok for the race we'll be fly- er, running the same route as the pet route!" "ready set go!"

She quickly ran off, leaving Spike in her dust.  He struggled and thought all he could about Rarity.  How worth it was, how much he loved her. He thought about the first time he saw her..

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

"Beautiful" He thought as he saw the indigo maned mare with beautiful sparkling eyes. His heart beat hard against his chest. He just wanted to hold her, to make sure she's alright, to love her..

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

He went back to reality. She loved another. How would he ever compete with a pony? It was impossible. Speaking of which... when he found Rainbow Dash already at the finish line, it was dark when he got there. She was fast asleep. He didn't dare waking her up again.  Defeated, he went home and went to bed, Twilight nagging something about being home late and blah blah blah. Just as he was about to go to sleep, he realized something and face clawed. He could of just asked Fluttershy.

The Dream

"oh spike you are the best pony in all equesitra Rarity said. Spike looked in the mirror. He  was now a stallion, bigger than Big Mac and very attractive. He giggled.

"Thanks Rarity". She snuggled up to him and ran her hooves through his mane.  She smiled at him.

"You are my  one and only Spikey wikey!" he smiled then frowned.

"Do you promise?" He said, looking at her expectantly.

He woke up before the answer, then fell back to sleep, snuggling his blanket closer to him.

"Rarity, do you promise?"

Suddenly, an orange mare arrived, blonde hair flowing on the wind. It was Apple Jack. Spike felt weird, like he was shrinking. Looking back into the mirror, he was back into a dragon. Rarity made a disgusted face and backed away. She looked into his eyes and said

"I don't love you anymore, Spike"

She then ran off with Apple Jack into the sunset, leaving Spike on the ground clutching his chest in pain.

Then it Began

Spike woke up with a start. "Bad dream?" Twilight asked. He nodded. "I have to go to fluttershy's cottage, ill be right back ." He ran as fast as he could.  He arrived at her cottage and urgently knocked the door. She op

opens it and smiles. "Oh, hello Spike." She said softly. "Uh yeah, hello. I need these

Ingredients"  he said, looking around nervously. "Sure ill get them for you" "you can stay here and have some hot coaco." She said sweetly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He stirred all the ingredients together. There. He heard Rairty  was at Sugar Cube Corner so he went there with the whole pitcher of  then potion. He smirked evily as he saw he and Apple Jack.  Perfect.  "Hello Spike" she smiled and waved. "Hello Rairty. I made you a special punch"he said. Pouring the potion into a cup and leaving it on the counter. She took a sip. "This is really good, Spike. Thank you." He nodded and looked at her eagerly. "Feel any different? " she shook her head, confused. "No Spike, why-" she was interrupted by Pinkie pie bounding into the room. "Hai!" "Oh is this punch it looks great!" She then took the pitcher in her hooves and began to drink the potion. "Pinkie, nooooo!" Spike tired to stop her, but, it was too late.

The start of something new, and awful. (at least to Spike)

Spike growled as Apple Jack fed Rarity some of her ice cream. It wasn't fair. He always loved Rarity and Apple Jack just comes along and ruins it all. Apple Jack laughed and nuzzles Rarity and she turns a cute pink, hiding her blush with her mane. She looks away from Apple Jack shyly. Spike tired with all his might not to smash his head against the table.  He remembered the first day he found out they were going out, and the catastrophic days that followed.

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

Rarity dramatically walked into Sugar Cube Corner  with Apple Jack by her side.

“Everyone, I would like to make an announcement!” Spike looked up with interest, admiring Rarity.

“Apple Jack and I are more friends!” She said happily, her voice slightly pitching higher. Everyone clapped. All except Spike, who looked like a bear awoken from slumber. Who had also had it’s tail stepped on.

Pinkie Pie whooped.

“Lets have a party to celebrate!”

They all nodded. Expect Spike. He wrapped his blanket  around him and groaned. (They all had a nice, relaxing, slumber party at Sugar Cube Corner to celebrate helping the ponies get their cutie marks, and their personalities back) Spike’s eyes widened as he now realizes, Rarity wasn’t having a nightmare last night, and that her and Apple Jack both slept in the same bed. He wish he never know about that gross grown up stuff. He stuffs his face in his pillow, trying to get that picture out of his mind. He was still just a baby dragon after all. No one payed attention to him and his pitiful sorrows. They were all crowded around the couple, congratulating them. It should of been Spike and Rarity, and Apple Jack and Rarity, he thought. He then jokingly thought about that love potion the cutie mark crusaders made. He laughed then stopped. Wait a minute, That’s it! But, it didn't work so well last time. maybe just give it to her and not him or something. After all, he was already in love with her. He would ask Apple Bloom later. Surely, their sisters disapprove.
