A Velvet Silver Lining

Spike got up early in the morning to perform his chores.

'Man, I sure hope I can get that image outta my head, I mean, it was awesome feeling such round mounds, but that's your surrogate sister/BFF's mom, and you do not go out with your friend's mom!'

Once he left the hallway, he arrived only to see, Twilight had done all of his chores.

"What the? Twilight?"

"Oh, Good morning Spike!"

"Twilight, why did you do all of my morning chores?"

"So you can spend the rest of the day finding a girlfriend!"

"What?! Twilight, I'm still a little down about Rarity. Pushing another girl on me so soon is stupid!"

"Spike, I'm trying to help you! You are really in need of a confidence booster!"

"You ever consider just complimenting me? That would work much better than passing me on to some random mare."

"Spike, I've thanked you for doing such a splendid job, isn't that compliment enough?"

"Doesn't count if it's the normal of my life!"

"Ugh! Spike, trust me, you're gonna thank me for this!" Then Twilight pushed him outside.

"Where are we going?"

"To Sugarcube Corner for speed dates!"

"Oi-vey Twilight, no wonder Cadence is the Princess of Love."

"One more remark outta you, and you're cleaning the Apple Family outhouse young man!"

Spike grumbled and kept his mouth shut as they reached the bake shop.

"Oh hey there Spike." Greeted Pinkie Pie. "Your seat is over there." She then pointed at a table with a sign next to it that said: 'Speed Date This Hunky Dragon, and He Might Become Your Boyfriend!'

"Oh look, 3 mares have lined up already." Twilight pointed.

"Good luck Casanova Spike." Pumpkin Cake joked. Oh, and just so you know, Riddleja, that was my shout out to you!

"Whatever kid." Spike replied. He took the seat as the first mare sat down.

"Hello Spike!"

"Hey Ruby Pinch." Spike replied.

"So Spike, feel like taste testing some of Berry Punch's new punch?"

"No thanks! I'm trying to cut down on my drinking."

She pouted as Twilight lifted her up with her magic and moved her aside as the next mare sat down.

"H-hello Spike."

"A...are you Hinny from Hinny of the Hills?"

"Yes I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!"

"Don't get me wrong, you're a great actress on stage, you have a nice personality, you are very cute, but...I'm not into famous people."

"What about Sapphire Shores?" Said Twilight.

"I only think she's pretty, doesn't mean I'll date her, there's a difference Twilight!"

"So...no?" Asked Hinny.

"Sorry Hinny hun, but no."

She pouted and walked away as the third mare sat down. Behind her were 4 more.

"Sweetie Belle?"

"So Spike, now that you're over Rarity..."

"No, that would be too awkward for me!"

Sweetie sighed before walking away.

"Hey, I heard Button Mash likes you!"

"He eloped with his mom last night."

'Aw-man, will I do the same with Velvet? Except the running away part' "Well, I heard Pipsqueak likes you."

Then a dragoness sat down. "Hey Spike."

"Barbara, the female me? No, it'll be like I'm dating myself and if we were to fuck, it'd still be masturbation!"

"Fine." pouted Barbara walking away.

"Hey Spike!"

"Daisy, Lily Valley, and Roseluck?"

"What do you say? 3 babes all at once! A hot bouquet are we right?"

'Speaking of flowers, I wonder what Velvet's would...wait, you gotta say no to these 3 1st!'

"Sorry, but dating three mares at once might be a little too much for me right now."

The 3 then fainted before even more showed up...man, there are so many that I feel...it's time for a song!

Speed dating so many girls that it would get boring going one by one!

So get ready for this rap by Trahzo son!

Sadly this silent mare was no match,

Oh poor, poor Vinyl Scratch.

It's a good thing she didn't squish Spike in a leg lock!

Give a round of applause for Lily Longsocks!

Actually it was good he rejected this miss,

Twilight then beat up Chrysalis!

Then there was Littlestrong Heart, Applebloom and Greta!

Let's not forget Katie Cook, Whoa Nelly, and Zecora!

He then said no to Zoey Trent,

for who'd want to date a littlest pet?

Then he said no to Oleander who warned him he'd one day become a meal with the spice, coreander!

Saying no to everyone, really annoying Twilight,

but she wasn't willing to yet surrender the fight!

"Alright Spike, prepare to meet your match! Not even you could reject her!" Twilight said with a confident grin.

That's when...

"What the? Twilight, you didn't..."

"Have you met your match Spike?"

Green sweater that showed off her huge perky breasts that rivaled Celestia's massive size, an elegant yet shy face, beautiful long pink hair that flowed in the wind, light brown skinny jeans.

"H...hello Spike." Greeted Fluttershy.

'Aw-man, damn you Twilight, how am I gonna reject the sensitive Fluttershy without her crying?' Spike panicked, and Twilight smiled.

"So Spike, I was just wondering, if you'd like to go see some flowers blooming in the moonlight."

"There are plants that bloom at night?"

"Yes, there are. It'll be so romantic, you and me with a picnic basket at in the full moon..." That's when...

"Fluttershy!" shouted Discord. "I love you!" He confessed.

'Oh fuck me!' Twilight thought with an annoyed voice.

'I never thought I'd be happy to see Discord!'

Fluttershy blushed as red as a tomato as Discord got on one knee and held out a bouquet.

"Will you see the night flowers bloom with me?"

Fluttershy said nothing and just nodded. Then Discord and Fluttershy teleported away.

"Ha! I won, I speed dated all day and everypony got turned down! I am gonna find my own girl Twilight." Spike taunted before sticking his tongue out at Twilight.

"Now I know how Rainbow Dash feels when she losses.

'Whew, that was close. I nearly cracked there.'

"Okay, you win this one, I admit defeat! But mark my words, I will find you a girlfriend! Just you wait! But right now, I could use something to eat."

'Man, I can't believe that through all of that, all this time I've been thinking of Twilight Velvet for some reason.'

While that went on, we go back to Twilight's mother herself.

"Why have I been thinking about Spike all day? About how his muscles are on par with that Fabio guy? How...how his firm touch felt so good. How-how....he makes me...happy."

She shook her head to focus as she was wandering around Canterlot to pass some time. Then...she looked to see a couple laughing.

'His mane is as Spiky as Spike's spines.'

That's when she hallucinated and saw Spike. she than rubbed her eyes.

'Okay, I am tired now.' She thought. She shook her head and went down to a café to grab some coffee.

When she looked down, the bubbles were shaped like Spike's head.

"Um...can I get some sugar for my coffee?"

"Sure, would you like the regular or brown?"

"Regular."

After having a coffee, she went to get an Apple Fritter from Donut Joe, but...the fritter was also shaped like Spike's head. She quickly gobbled it down ad ran out after paying. Then she saw a purple building next to a green building which made her think of him as well.

'GAH! I'm losing it!' she thought. "Maybe if I go straight to bed and not look at anything, I wont think of him!"

"Think of who?" Asked a filly.

"Just someone who comforted me after my husband left for his business trip."

"Are you thinking of the person's kindness right now?"

"Yeah...and now I can't get him out of my head!"

"Maybe you have a crush on him."

"What? But I'm married, why would I have a crush on him?"

"Maybe you've now realized you married the wrong guy."

"What? No, that can't be. I'm sure me and Night Light are just going through a rough time."

That's when a teenaged boy appeared. "Cauliflower, cover your ears."

"Okay big bro."

"How long has it been since your husband...you know? Had sex with you?"

Velvet blushed at the blunt question. "Years after our kids moved out of Canterlot."

"You shitting me? Wow, did you give him hints?"

"Yes and I even told him what I wanted and he said no because he was tired!"

"Well men get tired from work, so they can't always be full of energy."

"How do you know?"

He then removed his sister's hands from her ears. "Because, this happened to our parents before their own divorce."

"That's...so sad."

"Don't worry lady, she found a better guy."

"What do you suggest?"

"Go with what your heart decides." They siblings said in unison.

"*yaaaawn* Broccoli, I'm getting tired."

"Don't worry, I'll carry you home. Heed our words okay? Goodnight."

Velvet watched them walk away. Velvet decided to head home as well. Then, as she laid on her bed.

"Go with what my heart decides?" Then she placed a hand on her heart. "What do you think heart?"

She got silence and sighed before laying on her side. "Maybe the answer will come to me tomorrow." She said as she drifted off to sleep.
