Spike laid within his bed, curled in his covers a small sobbing sound came from him. His tears wetting his pillow as he thinks of his one true love; Rarity, the fairest pony in all of equestria. Every night he would lay in bed tormented by his thoughts of her with another stallion being with another male, she doesn't know his feelings and every night he could curl
with her plush likeliness wanting to tell her how he felt about her, how he wanted to be with her always, how he dreamed of her...
The next day spike woke up and took a deep breath and walked out of his room, skipped breakfast and left the dark dim castle into the bright sunlight of the early equestrian morning and went right to Rarity's Boutiquè and rapped his knuckles upon the ivory colored wooden door.
Rarity answered the door in her amazing white nightgown, it was thin and gently drapped over her barley covering her hooves as they floated just above the ground. "Oh! Hello my little spikey-wikey how are you this morning?" She asked with a gleam in her eyes and a pearly white smile.
Spikes heart fluttered as he fumbled with his words. He took a gulp as he felt a sudden time stand still from his next words he would udder. "Rarity...I-I've really liked you for the past five years, But I've never possessed the courage to tell you. I want to ask if you would have a date with me tonight,at the castle?" He asked his eyes focused on the dirt beneath him, the sun shining upon his scaly back, his face flushed with embarrassment. He worried about her reaction as he looked up to her; to be surprised he saw a faint smile upon her flawless face. "Of course silly, i was begining to wonder how long till you asked!" She responded with excitement to spikes surprise.
"R-Really?! A-are you sure?" He stammered.
She gently put her hoovers under his chin and kissed his forehead. "Of course spikey-wikey, i'll see you at eight?" She asked.
"Y-yeah! I'll pick you up at eight!" He said gleeful as he waved to her and turned to go back to the castle. She gently waved her hoof and smiled at him as she put a lose hair from her mane behind her ear with her magic.
Spike ran and ran to the castle, his heart feeling ready to burst as he rushed into the castle. "Twilight?! I-I finally did it!" He announced. Twilight peaked around the corner from the kitchen to him. "Did what?" She asked curious about Spike's behavior.
"I-i asked Rarity out! I'm seeing her tonight!" He said excited as he quickly ran up the stairs.
Twilight smiled seeing her little dragon growing up, and working up the courage to ask her out.
Hours went by as he got the castle ready for his date with the mare, he draped the dining room table with a white thousand thread count table cloth, a glimmering red candle in a pure silver candlabra on the table, and the finest silver ware and plates within the castle. He bathed and cleaned every scale and claw before dressing into his finest suit he had ready for the day.
He departed the castle to pick up the mare he had been dreaming about for years at her shop. He knocked upon the door once more and Rarity answered again; this time wearing a red nightgown with black eyeliner, and a dark red lipstick. Her hair was styled perfectly, no hair loose or out of place.
"Hey little spike, how do i look?" she asked striking a small fasion pose for him.
Spike froze at the astonishing sight of her. "Y-you look amazing Rarity, like always."he said smiling rubbing the back of his neck. She smiled and put her hoof out to take his hand.
"She we go to the castle then?" She asked smiling.
Spike nodded and took her hoof gratefully and started to walk her to the castle.
Once the arrived he opened the door and lead her to the table illuminated by candle light. He slowly slide her seat out for her. "Mares first." He said in a gentlemenly way.
She smiled. "Oh such class~" she said taking her seat as he gently pushed her in near the table towards a silver platter. "Oh spike i hope you didn't go though to much trouble for little ol me." She said looking at him sweetly.
"Nah, it wasn't much trouble, besides its all worth it too see you." He smiled as he Showed her what was on the platter of a hay souffle made just for her.
She blushed. "Y-you made my favorite?" She asked, feeling happy that Spike remembered what she loved to eat.
"Of course!" He said sitting down before continuing. "I knew you loved it, took me a few tried but I got there in the end."he smiled as he revealed his platter of gemstones. "Uh, Bon Appetit?" He said unsure if it was correct.
She smiled and levitated her fork with her magic and ate slowly and delicately.
They talked over the course of the meal, and then some after about previous adventures they have once had, movies, literature, and even fashion before the night neared a close.
Spike looked at the clock and frowned seeing it was nearing midnight. "Oh, its getting late out. Is there a time you have to be home Rarity?" He asked his voice saddened.
She reach over the table and took his hand. "No, I was hoping to spend the night with you darling..." she said blushing.
Spikes face enflamed with the color red. "O-oh..you can spend the night, if you want my room is upstairs on the right."
She smiled. "I'll meet you in there spikey-wikey..." she smiled and got out of her seat and went upstairs and got ready for bed.
Spike stayed frozen with excitement at the chance to be in the same bed with the one he loved and tried to stand, his legs shaking for a moment before walking up the stairs to his room, to see her laying there under the covers smiling at him. "I-is it alright if we cuddle a bit before sleeping?" She asked.
Spike smiled "o-of course rarity..." he replied before climbing into bed with her then curling up next to her.
"R-rarity...how long have you known I've liked you?" He asked nervously.
"Always darling...ever since that day I met you and Twilight..." she said rubbing his back.
"H-have you or do you like me?" He questioned nervous, his heart booming in his chest in fear the answer may be no.
"I do spike...I do like you..." she blushed as he looked up to her and slowly came up to her face and gently kissed her...
Spike opened his eyes from his slumber and sighed, for every night he went through the hell of seeing her in his dreams only to find it was a fantasy. He sat up and took his Rarity toy within his arms and clutched it to his chest, holding back the tears once again and got out of bed to go to breakfast. Realizing it was all a dream and a fantasy which will remain so, and will be nothing more.
