Dear Rarity
Hey Rarity, it's me, Spike! I just wanted to write you a note. Twilight says girls like letters like these. So I'm giving my claws a shot at it. You're beau...no
Rarity, I've been thinking a lot lately. I think you know how I feel about you, but sometimes it's easier to write your feelings because I don't have all the right words to tell you what you mean to me. I wish I did. I wish I could just make you understand what you mean to me. What your smile does to me. How I suffer a million heart attacks when I hear you going off on an adventure. Worried you might not come ba...no
If I had the guts to tell you how I really feel. If I could be a real dragon instead of this pathetic whelp, I would. I wish I...no
Sometimes I don't think there's a chance between me and you. I wish there was. I would love it if there was. Please tell me tha...no
You are my fairy tale come true. You are the princess at the end of my story. I would write you ten thousand happy endings if I could. I would read our sto...no
I'm sorry. I know you don't feel the same way about me, as I do you. I'm not one of the elements of Harmony. I'm not even a pony. I know I'm young, but I understand. I totally get it. Society frowns at cross species relationships. I know that, I get that. I mean, my brain gets it. My heart doesn't understand. I spend every night telling myself this won't work, and I'll be lonely forever, and to just get used to it, but my heart doesn't listen. It just doesn't care. And I can't make it stop but if I could jus...no
I know you like fancy gems, and jewels. I don't know how much a dragon's heart is worth but you can have min...no
There isn't anything I can write to make you understand. There aren't any words for it. (I know I went through the thesaurus for hours.) Whatever I say won't even scrape the surface of my feelings fo ...no
Emotions are stupid, aren't they? Really really stupid. They don...no
Every time I see you, it hurts a little more to keep myself quiet. I bite my tongue every time. I have to. If I started telling you how beautiful you were I would never be able to sto...no
I would bring you one thousand flowers for one thousand days if you were mine. I'd swear I'd dig to the center of the earth to find jewels that match your eyes. I'd fight every last monster in Tartarus if it would please you: my godde...no
When I think about you, all I can think of, is "not good enough" Me, I mean. I would build you a house, every brick perfect, every nail on the dot. It would be the most splendid house on the planet, but when it comes to you, it will never be good enough. You deserve the finest things in life, and the moment someone thinks they can sit back and relax they'll know immediately it wasn't good enough. no one should ever stop trying to pleas...no
I can't wait any longer. I HAVE to tell you how I...no
I know. I know that it will never happen. That there's no hope you could fall for a boy like me. But for the past year, since coming to Ponyville with Twilight, I've kept you in my mind and in my heart. You give me the strength I need to carry on. It's hard being a little dragon in a town full of ponies, and sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is the thought that I might have even a chance at touching your heart, I...no
I went on a quest long ago, to find my people; other dragons. I found them. They weren't like me at all. I'm too much of a dragon to be a pony and too much of a pony to be a dragon. Life is funny isn't it? I don't fit in anywhere, So I can understand why you don't want me aroun...no
If I could, I swear I would,
Take all the pain away,
So I'll be honest,
Here's a promise,
Right next to you, I'll sta...no
I will be your knight in shining armor. Forever and ever, I'll slay whatever stands in your wa-...no
If I had a horde you could totally be my damsel in dist...no
I know you aren't Twilight when it comes to magic, but you've bewitche...no
It's a kind of torture, you know? As a dragon, knowing the brightest treasure I'll ever see is forever just beyond my grasp. I could collect every jewel in the world and it wouldn't come close to your beaut...no
I know it isn't worth anything, but please...just please...if I give you my heart, promise me you'll keep it saf...no
I don't see a pony when I look at you. I see the most beautiful soul in the world. I know I'm not your type. That is, a pony like you, but your radiant beauty blinds m...no
Celestia is the princess, but you will always be my quee...no
I'll never have the right words. Never in a million years. There will never be words that can describe whats in my heart for you. But if there's anything I could say, that might even start to come close, it would be: I love you. That's it. That's all. I know I'm young, and I'm a dragon and I don't know the first thing about high society. But I know what love is. I know this sickening feeling in my tummy that will never go away. I know the light headed feeling I get when you walk by, and I know I could stare at your picture for hours on end. They're all the same feeling, Rarity. I just want to tell you that even if you don't accept me, I will always be there for you. No matter when, no matter where. My heart won't ever stop beating for you. Never. And that's how I know, I can confidently say: I love you.
Spike drew in a quiet breath, staring at the parchment tucked under his claws. Slowly, he rolled up the scroll and held it in front of him and held his breath. A magical burst of fire could send where he wanted it to go: The Carousel Boutique mailbox, or a regular burst of fire that would keep his silence, and save him from inevitable heartbreak.
No. He sighed and the letter disappeared in a flash of dragon's fire. Burned to a crisp with all of the pretty words turning to ashes in front of him, and scattering away from the breeze of an open window in the library.
"Spike?" A voice chimed out, belonging to Twilight Sparkle, who poked her head into her bedroom. Spike glanced quietly over his shoulder at her curiously.
"What was that? " She asked. She'd heard the burst of fire, but hadn't given Spike any letters to send to the princess. The little purple dragon simply shook his head with a sigh, resting a claw over his heart.
"...Nothing important."
