The birds were chirping, the sun was bright as ever. A high school building was just about to let out the crowds of young mares and stallions to go home... ****** ...when a strange blue box flew through the sky above the school. What looked like a gray pegasus mare hung out the bottom of the opening, almost about to fall out, utterly forgetting for the moment she was a pegasus…. ****** Finally the school bell rang and the doors opened. The young stallions and mares left in a big crowd, ending the school day and heading home. In the crowd was a young white unicorn mare who had just recently hit her teen years. The mare had a mix of purple and light purple in her mane. Her name was Sweetie Belle. She was walking alone because her two friends had not gone to school today. Her friend Applebloom was busy at a family reunion and her friend Scootaloo was on a trip with Rainbow Dash. Sweetie Belle was just trying to get home when she overheard some gossip from some nearby mares. Usually she wouldn’t try to eavesdrop on what the mares were saying, since that whole newspaper fiasco a few years back, but when she heard one mare mention her sister’s name, she got curious and listened in. “So Rarity’s dating the new stallion in town.” “Yeah, from what I’ve heard he’s related to royalty.” “Really? Oh she always gets the finest stallions.” “But wait, isn’t she dating that dragon?” “No, that can’t be right. Didn’t you hear that it recently became illegal for a pony and a dragon to date? Besides, the stallion she is dating is much more handsome.” “Who made it illegal?” “Prince ‘Somby’ Blueblood.” After those last few words, Sweetie Belle had heard enough. She ran to the Carousel Boutique to find out what was going on. ****** Sweetie Belle arrived at the Carousel Boutique, opened the door and walked inside. Inside she could hear her sister in the kitchen humming the happiest of tunes. Sweetie Belle set down her stuff neatly as Rarity had always told her to, then she walked into the kitchen, smelling something delicious. Her eyes closed upon entering as she enjoyed the smell. “Sweetie…. Belle…. what are… you doing…. here,” Rarity’s happy humming was instantly gone, replaced by a peculiar stutter. Sweetie Belle opened her eyes to see Rarity not cooking a meal, but instead setting the table for two. She looked to see a stallion was making the meal. A meal for two. Or at least he was until he heard Rarity mention that Sweetie Belle was there. He turned towards Sweetie Belle. She realized this had to be the stallion that the mares were talking about. She looked him over closely, also noticing the fact that both of them were now shaking. The stallion looked around Rarity’s preferred age range. He stood roughly around the same height as Thunderlane and appeared to be a batpony. His coat was purple, his mane a dark green, and his cutie mark was that of a writing quill. “Sweetie Belle, what are you doing here,” Rarity repeated, finally getting herself to calm down. “I was curious about the new stallion I heard you were dating, and I wanted to ask you about him,” Sweetie Belle as she tried to ignore the obvious uneasiness in the room. “Well….. this is...” Rarity was talking awfully slow. “Sp…. Sp….” “Spark,” said the stallion, as he interrupted Rarity. “Spark?” Sweetie said with a raised eyebrow. “Yes,” said Rarity, as she looked back at the stallion. He had a bit of a sarcastic ‘what?’ look. “Spark Speagle, he’s Blueblood’s cousin.” “He is?” said Sweetie Belle. "I am?" He questioned, before Rarity lightly kneed him in the gut. "I mean, I am Spark Speagle nice to meet you." “All right you got your answers,” said Rarity, as she lifted Sweetie Belle up with her magic. She was clearly trying to get Sweetie Belle out of there so she could enjoy their meal for two. “Now here is your stuff, deary,” she levitated her out the door, giving her her stuff. “Why don’t you go visit with your friends?” Before Sweetie Belle could answer her, the door to the Boutique closed and Sweetie Belle was all alone. “Well I guess I will see how Spike is taking this turn of events.” ****** Sweetie Belle arrived at the Castle of Friendship. She walked up the crystal stairway and knocked on the double doors. A moment passed and the doors opened. Standing behind door was a pink unicorn mare with a purple and blue mane. “Oh hey Sweetie Belle what brings you here?” said Starlight Glimmer. Starlight had lived there a more than a year now, ever since she had turned good. “I’m looking for Spike,” said Sweetie Belle. Suddenly another voice could be heard from within the castle. “Starlight who is it?” “Oh is just Sweetie Belle, Twilight. She’s asking where Spike is at,” Starlight answered. “He’s at the bar,” Twilight yelled back from inside the castle. “I thought he didn’t drink,” said Starlight. “He has since that crazy law was passed,” Twilight yelled back in reply. “Okay,” said Starlight. She turned back to Sweetie Belle. “I’m sorry Sweetie Belle, it seems that Spike isn’t here.” “That’s okay, I’ll ask you,” Sweetie Belle replied. “What did you want to ask, dear?” “Did you know Rarity is dating the new stallion in town?” “Sure. That batpony? Yeah he’s a fine stallion. And so mysterious right? I wouldn’t mind dating him,” said Starlight with a smirk. “But Rarity claimed him rather quickly.” “Really?” said Sweetie Belle with a raised eyebrow. She thought it was strange. Ever since Tenderhoof, Rarity had been taking things a bit slower. And not just randomly try to claim one, like she did back then... “Yeah, I hear he moved to Ponyville around the same time that stupid law was passed,” said Starlight. “He hasn’t been seen much except for around Rarity, I heard that Spike met him a few times, but that’s about it.” “And what did Spike think?” “Actually from what I heard, Spike got along pretty well with him.” “Really?” said Sweetie Belle, slightly confused. “I even heard that Spike actually has no problem with Rarity dating the new stallion,” said Starlight. This only sent more confusion around in Sweetie Belle’s head. Spike has no problem at all with Rarity dating the new stallion in town? Sweetie Belle could feel something was wrong here. None of this sounded right. Spike not caring who Rarity was dating? He would have definitely had at least some worry for his long-time crush! And Rarity was acting very strange when she had found her. Something was definitely wrong. ****** After talking to Starlight, Sweetie Belle left the Castle of Friendship, and headed for the clubhouse. She had to get some answers about this mysterious new stallion. Once there, Sweetie Belle noticed a note on the door. It read, “Sorry Sweetie Belle. We couldn’t make it to the clubhouse either. We got busy too, but we got you some help. He’ll be there shortly. Your Friend, Diamond Tiara “Help? What help?” Suddenly Sweetie Belle heard hoofsteps heading toward her. She turned to see a young brown earth pony stallion around her age. The young stallion had a mix of orange colors in his mane and a video game controller’s directional pad for a cutie mark. “Oh great...Button Mash!” said Sweetie Belle with a less than an enthusiastic voice. She tried her best to hide the obvious problem with this and with Hearts n Hooves just a few days away. Overall this was not going to end well. ****** Author's Note So have any of you figure going on. If so then, DON'T SPOIL IT. If you feel like commenting on something with spoilers in it.

Any comments that will ruin things for new readers I will delete. Chapter 2: CuriosityInside the clubhouse, Sweetie Belle walked around trying to figure out what to do while Button Mash quietly sat there. He didn’t mind helping out Sweetie Belle and Sweetie Belle had nothing wrong with having his help, but she also knew this was some sort setup. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had been trying to push Button Mash and Sweetie Belle together for nearly a year now. To date, this was the twentieth time they had pulled something like this. At first Sweetie Belle didn’t mind it. She saw Button Mash as sweet. But the ex-bully’s stubbornness at pushing them together made it hard for them to move closer than simply being close friends. And because of that it created a major awkwardness about things, especially since Button Mash was already shy to begin with. “So who’s idea was it this time?” said Sweetie Belle. The letter had been from Diamond Tiara, but it was often both their ideas. “Well….I received a letter from Silver Spoon,” said Button Mash. “Fine let’s go talk to them,” said Sweetie Belle. “But….I thought we were going to go spy on your sister and her new stallion?” said Button Mash. “What? How did you know my original plan?” Sweetie Belle was understandably caught of guard by this. “That’s what my letter said,” Button Mash showed her the letter. Sweetie Belle grabbed it with her magic and read it. “What? How do they know about Rarity’s new stallion Spark Speagle before me, when I just barely found out myself a few hours ago?” said Sweetie Belle getting increasingly annoyed. “Okay we’re going to go see them right now,” Sweetie Belle ran out of the clubhouse. “Oh… alright,” said Button Mash as he followed after her. ****** ….The two left so quickly they didn’t notice a blue box spinning in the sky overhead. The doors open and two male voices were arguing inside. “I told you to get away from my controls,” one male voice said. “No, this is too much fun,” said the other male voice with a familiar giggle. Suddenly a gray pegasus mare started falling towards the doorway, as the blue box flew out of sight…. ****** Sweetie Belle and Button Mash arrived at Diamond Tiara’s mansion. It stood four stories tall and had too many rooms to count. Sweetie Belle knocked on the ivory doors. A brown earth pony with a white mane walked out. It was Diamond Tiara’s family butler. “May I help you,” he asked them. “Yeah, we are looking for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon,” said Sweetie Belle. “I shall get their attention,” said the butler as he left. The two stood there and waited for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. After a few moments of waiting, Sweetie Belle was getting annoyed. Button Mash stood thinking to himself, ‘Ask her already, no, ask her already, no,’ Finally he gave in and spoke. “Uh, Sweetie Belle -- ” But before he could finish, Diamond Tiara walked out. “Oh hey you two. Enjoying yourselves?” asked Diamond Tiara, giggling. “You know very well how annoying this is,” said Sweetie Belle. “What? But I thought this was your idea,” said Diamond Tiara. “What are you talking about?” Sweetie Belle asked. “You sent me a letter to set this up,” said Diamond Tiara. “What? No I didn’t,” Sweetie Belle protested, even more confused. “Yeah, you did,” said Diamond Tiara as she grabbed the letter with her magic. “See?” “What?” said Sweetie Belle. She grabbed it with her own magic and read it. It was her words and her writing style. But this made no sense! It was obviously a fake, done by either Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon or most likely Rarity. Rarity had copied Sweetie Belle's writing style before. Sweetie Belle figured that this must some attempt to distract her from finding out anything on this Spark Speagle. But Sweetie Belle was not going to be having any of that. There was obviously something going on and now she was more determined then ever to find out what. After a fruitless talk with Diamond Tiara, Sweetie Belle decided to go ahead and let Button Mash help out. They left the mansion. “So… where are we going?” he asked. “To go see Spike personally.” “But didn’t you say that he was at…. a bar,” said Button Mash with obvious uneasiness. “Yeah.” “But we’re too young to….drink,” said Button Mash, growing more and more nervous. “Button we are not going there to drink,” said Sweetie Belle. “We’re going there to talk to Spike and tell him something is wrong.” “But I thought Starlight already told you he was fine with it?” “But it’s clear something is wrong and Spike can’t find out what hiding in a bar all day.” “Okay,” said Button Mash. “But how will we know which bar he is in?” “Button, there is only one bar near Ponyville where a dragon can actually get a good drink,” said Sweetie Belle. “And that’s the Garble’s Grub.” “And… that is where?” “Just outside the Everfree Forest.” ****** The two arrived at the Garble’s Grub. It was a dragon’s bar run by a tall, thin red dragon name Garble. He had run the place there for nearly a year now, ever since him and Spike had met back during the last dragon migration. The two had fixed their problems and become good friends. Sweetie Belle and Button Mash walked up to the door and ignored the sign on it, walking into the bar. “Hey you two!” said Garble from the other side of the bar. “Did you not read the sign, no underage drinkers? Now get out here. This stuff is twice as strong as pony’s hard cider.” Indeed it most likely it was. Dragons had a stronger tolerance for alcohol than ponies. Sweetie Belle remembered how one time Spike had gotten into a drinking contest with Applejack back at the farm and nearly won. “We’re not here to drink. We’re here to see Spike,” said Sweetie Belle. “Oh… well Spike,” said Garble, as he was stomping his foot rather loudly. Button Mash raised his eyebrow at this. Suddenly the door to the back room opened up. Inside could be seen several orange colored juices, most likely some sort of hard cider made for dragons. “There you are Spike. You got ponies here to see you.” Spike wandered over, clearly drunk, a few times nearly falling over. He had grown some over the years, his wings even had finally come in. On all fours, which he was most of the time now, he was a little bit taller then Rarity. “Oh… Hi… Garble,” said Spike slurring his words as he walked over to his seat. “Wow, Spike I said drink the stuff slow, not fast,” said Garble. “You’re drinking too many.” “Too many… I’ll be fine,” said Spike. He looked at Sweetie Belle and Button Mash. “Oh hey look…. it’s the happy couple.” “What?!?!” they both said. “What do you….. two want?” “We want to you to know that there is something wrong with Spark Speagle.” “Spark Speagle….. Spark…. well you want to know the truth?” said Spike, who was switching back and forth between talking and shouting. “Yeah,” said Sweetie Belle. Spike stood on his back legs. Garble getting ready to catch him in case he fell. “WELL I --,” but before Spike could finish he puked all over the floor. “I don’t care who he is….. he treats Rarity perfectly and that all…. that matters,” he finished by returning to his sitting position. “Oh Spike I told you you were pounding down the stuff too hard,” said Garble as he walked over with a mop. “Actually I think…. I’m handling the stuff just….. fine,” said Spike. “Okay, that’s enough for today,” said Garble. “Fine.” It was clear that Sweetie Belle was not going to get through to Spike. He was clearly too drunk. “Come on Button Mash, let’s go. We’re not going to get any answers from him.” “Okay.” The two left the Garble’s Grub, deciding the next stop should be back at Rarity’s. Maybe by now that Spark would be gone. Meanwhile back in the bar. “Come on Spike calm down,” said Garble. “SG can only make so much pumpkin hard cider. Here drink some water, it will calm you down.” “Thanks…. you two are the best.” ****** Sweetie Belle and Button Mash arrived at the Carousel Boutique. Inside Rarity was still humming happily, but this time there was no Spark Speagle nearby. The two walked into the Carousel Boutique. “Rarity we need to talk. Is that Spark Speagle gone?” “Why yes, he is dear. You just missed him. He left an hour ago,” said Rarity as she walked up to them. “Oh, you have Button Mash with you,” she said with a giggle. “Yeah I do,” said Sweetie Belle in a knowing tone to try and indicate that she had a feeling that Rarity was the one who sent the letter to Diamond Tiara. “Anyway, can we talk?” “Sure. About what, dear?” “Spike.” “Spi…. Spike,” said Rarity as she was caught off guard by the question. “What about Spike?” “Now I know you two were getting close, and I want know why you all the sudden have your hooves on a new stallion?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Spike and I are….. just friends,” said Rarity. Sweetie Belle didn’t believe her. Her statement seemed forced. “Now come on I’ve got dinner ready, oh and I've got to go to bed early tonight.” “What? But it’s Friday,” said Sweetie Belle. “And I think I should head home,” said Button Mash as he headed for the door. Sweetie Belle followed after him. As they got to the door, Sweetie Belle walked out with him to have a word. “Now what’s wrong? You’ve barely talked since we left Diamond Tiara’s place.” Button Mash just stood there. ‘Ask her, ask her, ask her,’ the thoughts from before buzzing through his head. “Sweetie Belle do you think we could -- ” But again before he could finish she shushed him with her hoof. This caused him to blush a little. Luckily Sweetie Belle didn’t see it as she had her mind on a new plan. “Hold that thought, I just got an idea.” “Okay, what?” “We’ll get answers by spying on Rarity’s date with Spark,” Sweetie Belle said as she removed her hoof. “What?!?!” said Button Mash. “Look Rarity only goes to bed early when she has a big date,” said Sweetie Belle. “So I say I find out where the date is, and then we go spy on her.” “But what if they see us?” “Good point,” said Sweetie Belle as she gave her plan another thought, slightly blushing. Button Mash didn’t notice. Sweetie Belle gritted her teeth. “We could say…. that we were on a date too.” “A DATE -- ” again she stopped him with her hoof. “But it’s not a date, we are only there to spy on them. Nothing more.” said Sweetie Belle. She removed her hoof. “Be here bright and early,” She walked back inside, closing the door behind her. Button Mash meanwhile just stood there like a statue. Sure she said ‘not’ a date. But it was still the closest to what he had been trying to ask all day. And now he had his chance. ****** Author's Note So Sweetie Belle and Button Mash have got a 'Not' Date. Let's just hope it goes well. And more strange stuff is still happening. What is the mystery? What are the answers? More soon. For now you'll have to wait for the next chapter, Chapter 3: A 'Not' Date. Chapter 3: A 'Not' Date?It was a beautiful morning when Button Mash arrived at the Carousel Boutique. He had taken a shower before arriving and was dressed perfectly in a suit and tie, mane was perfectly brushed, he even had his hat off and he had a bouquet of flowers. It may have not been a real date, but he was going to try his best to make it perfect. He knocked on the door and waited patiently for her to answer. It took a moment and the door opened. It was Sweetie Belle, however she didn’t seem pleased. He wanted to question why, but then she told him. “You’re late,” Sweetie Belle said with a deadpan voice. “What… but it’s 7:00 in the morning,” Button Mash said confusingly. “Yeah, and I said be here early,” Sweetie Belle said with annoyance. “It,” he paused and then continued. “It is early,” he said in almost blatant annoyance, at the same time trying his best to hide it. “My sister has been up since six,” Sweetie Belle slightly raised her voice. They just stood there for a moment. Button Mash tried to get past this by giving her the bouquet of flowers. “I… got you these.” Sweetie Belle dropped her annoyance once she saw them. They were beautiful. “Eh, thank you,” she said as she took them with her magic. She turned towards the doorway and nodded for him to follow. She didn’t even notice the light blush on her face as she kept walking to the couch to put them down. Suddenly Rarity walked in. “Who was at the door, Sweetie-- ,” Rarity stopped herself as she saw Button Mash in a suit. She smiled, although Sweetie Belle was unaware of what this looked like, Rarity had dated enough stallions in her time to know how it appeared. But knowing how shy Button Mash was about Sweetie Belle and how blunt her sister could be sometimes about emotions, she decide to play it cool. “Button Mash, how good it is to see you. How is your mother?” “Fine, ma'am.” “Oh, good, well Sweetie Belle, I need to go run some errands. Will you be okay while I am gone?” she asked as she head for the door. “Yeah I’ll be fine.” “Alright then, you two behave yourselves,” Rarity said as she took her leave. As she walked she made sure that she was far away from the closed door before, with a big smile on her face, whispering, “Oh my dearest has got to hear this,” and with that she sped away to go find him. It was clear that Rarity had figured out some part of their plan. ****** As soon as Rarity left, Sweetie Belle started moving towards the front door. Once there, she locked it and then started heading for the back door. “So… did you find out where and when she is going to have the date?” asked Button Mash. “Yeah she’s going to her date right now,” said Sweetie Belle. “WHAT?” “Yeah, so let’s get moving. We’re taking the back way out,” said Sweetie Belle as she got to the back door and grabbed her spare keys. “Alright,” said Button Mash as he followed right behind her. ****** Button Mash and Sweetie Belle walked out the back door. Sweetie Belle locked it and then ran behind some bushes. Button Mash followed directly behind her. “So, where is she having this date?” Button Mash asked her. “She wouldn’t let any info slip on that, so we are going to follow her,” she replied as she ran to another bush. Button Mash again followed behind. This pretty much continued until they got to a bush close enough to Rarity so they could hear what she was saying. They saw her talking with a pink mare in a hood. “Hey doesn’t that look like -- ,” Button Mash was stopped by Sweetie Belle’s hoof. “Will you whisper? We’re trying to spy on them,” asked Sweetie Belle, as she put her hoof down. “Okay… then what’s your sister talking to this unknown mare about?” Button Mash asked. “Hold on. I’m trying to hear them,” Sweetie Belle replied as she put her ear closer. ****** “So, when will he be ready?” Rarity asked. “Oh don’t worry he’s getting ready right now. He’ll be at the Prancing Pony waiting for you,” said the unknown mare. “Oh lovely,” said Rarity as she took her leave. ****** “Okay she is going to have her date at the Prancing Pony,” whispered Sweetie Belle. “Do you know where that is?” “Of course, I --” Sweetie Belle stopped herself, then slowly spoke again, “I sort of went there…with Rumble once,” Sweetie Belle whispered sheepishly. “Wait… WHAT?!?!--” Button Mash almost yelled but Sweetie Belle stopped him with her hoof again. “Look it was one time, and he was doing it to get back at Scootaloo for an argument they had. Nothing happen,” replied Sweetie Belle as she put her hoof back down. While doing that a thought ran through her mind. ‘Wait why am I explaining myself to Button Mash?’ but she pushed the thought aside as she saw Rarity getting too distant. “Come on let’s go.” ****** The two arrived at the Prancing Pony before Rarity. There they found Spark Speagle sitting at a table, waiting patiently for Rarity to arrive. They sat at a table behind a big tall bush where Spark couldn’t see them. Finally Rarity when arrived, Spark got up and greeted her with a bow. “Good morning m’lady,” She giggled, blushing at his gesture, and bowed back. Sweetie Belle almost stuck out her tongue in disgust. It looked like an opening to one those sappy romance novels that Rarity kept. Meanwhile Button Mash just kept watch. ****** Suddenly an apple flew through the air and hit Button Mash in the head. “Hey, who threw that?” he whispered. But as he turned around his face went bright red upon what he saw. Off in the distance behind another bush was a mare and stallion around their ages, kissing rather passionately. “Hey what’re you looking at Button?” Sweetie Belle asked. Suddenly Button Mash instantly turned around to hide his still bright red face. Sweetie Belle turned to see what he was looking at, but the couple that he saw was gone. Instead she saw a certain draconequus’s tail behind another bush. ****** Button Mash tried his best to spend the rest of the time ignoring what he saw. Meanwhile it seemed that Rarity and Spark were rather enjoying themselves. Sweetie Belle could barely hear what they were saying mostly do to the fact they were either talking very little or talking very low and yet she still felt uneasy about this Spark Speagle. There was something about him that seemed off. Sweetie Belle continued to spy on Rarity and Spark. And then the waiter finally came over to the table that Button Mash and Sweetie Belle were at. “May I take your order?” “Oh that’s right, I forgot you have to order something to have a table,” said Sweetie Belle as she grabbed the menu. “I’ll have an omelet with a side of salad, what about you Button Mash?” “Oh,” Button Mash almost jumping at her words. He then grabbed a menu. “I’ll have…” he didn’t know what to order. Finally he just asked for the same thing that she was having. ****** Overall the ‘not’ date went terrible. The two had very little to talk about, due to the fact that Sweetie Belle kept checking up on her sister every few minutes. Button Mash meanwhile tried his best to start a conversation, but she would turn away from him in the middle of it to again check on her sister. It almost seemed like Sweetie Belle was acting like an older sister watching a younger sister on a date. Meanwhile Rarity and Spark were having the time of their lives. Enjoying every minute of their date. Sweetie Belle couldn’t figure Spark out. What did Rarity see in him? He acted totally different from the usual stallions Rarity had dated and yet Rarity couldn’t stop staring romantically at him. Rarity and Spark talked and talked, giggled and giggled, followed by more talking. The love fumes as it were, were almost too much for Sweetie Belle. After three long hours, the date finally came to a close. Spark got up from his spot to take his leave. He walked over to Rarity’s side, bowed and then picked up her hoof. “Well I must bid you adieu, most beautiful Rarity,” he then kissed her hoof. This caused Rarity to blush massively. In fact, her whole head nearly turned red from the gesture. “Oh you have to leave so soon? This was a lovely date,” she said. Spark lifted up his head and Rarity went for her own way of saying goodbye. She kissed him. To Sweetie Belle it seem like a simple, short kiss. But to Rarity and Spark it was anything but simple and to them it was definitely not short. It was amazing. When they stopped, Spark seemed to be in a bit of a daze. “Wow,” he slowly let out. Rarity again found herself giggling. Spark then took his leave. ****** After he was gone, Rarity sat there with the biggest smile on her face. “Hmm, how did I find such an incredible gent?” she asked as she tilted her head in bliss. Meanwhile Sweetie Belle and Button Mash got ready to take their leave. But then, “Oh Sweetie Belle where do you two think you are going?” Sweetie Belle instantly froze at that voice. “Sweetie I knew you two were behind the bush the whole time,” said Rarity, giggling. “What?” “Oh please, Sweetie, if you had been listening a bit closer you would realized that Spark mentioned seeing you two get a table.” “Oh come on!” said Sweetie Belle as her and Button Mash came to explain themselves. “We’re sorry we spied on you.” “That’s better. Now run along you two, I really do have errands to run,” Rarity said as she took her leave. “And I better not find you two spying on my date again, or I’ll make mom and dad ground you for a week.” “Fine we’ll head home,” said Sweetie Belle as she and Button Mash left. ****** Once they were a safe distance from the Prancing Pony, Button Mash said “So… that went well,” he lied. It had gone horribly. “So I guess we are giving up on this Spark, right?” “Nope, I am nowhere near done. Spark is hiding something and I know it.” “So… does that mean that we are going to try again tomorrow.” “Yes, and as many times as need be.” ****** Author's Note Sorry this one took so long. I was suffering a headache all last week. But got it done. Not sure what to title the next chapter. Right now the working title is, Chapter 4: Just How Many ‘Not’ Dates?. Chapter 4: Plan B: More SpyingIt was a new morning for Button Mash as he got up and ate some breakfast. Once was he done, he left his home to check on Sweetie Belle. He had received a note from her telling him to meet her at the crystal mines. He didn’t know why she wanted to meet there, but he didn’t see a reason to argue. After that awful date, he really didn’t want to make things worse for himself. He headed straight there. ****** …..He left in such rush that he didn’t notice the blue box once again flying in the sky overhead. However this time it was acting rather calm, and looking like it was about to land….. ****** He arrived at the crystal mines and saw Sweetie Belle hiding behind a rock. He snuck up behind her. “Hi… Sweetie Belle.” Sweetie Belle jumped. “Oh hi Button Mash I didn’t see you.” She whispered as she yawned. “Why are you so tired?” he questioned, keeping his voice down. “Oh, I got up really early so I could get a better chance at spying on Spark.” “Wow, are you sure you will be okay.” he questioned worriedly. “I mean, we been at this for nearly a week now.” he noted. Indeed, ever since that proclamation Sweetie Belle had made nearly a week ago, the two had been gathering more and more info on Spark, and yet they were still no closer to finding any dangerous secrets. It seemed Spark Speagle was a perfectly fine gentlepony. However Sweetie Belle was getting more and more determined to find something hidden about him. Button Mash tried his best to stay by her side through all of this, but it was getting very hard. “I know but--” suddenly Sweetie Belle was interrupted by the sound of movement from within a nearby cave. “Oh snapples, get down.” “Wow you’re tired,” Button Mash said as he stood there beside her, questioning her choice of slang. “Just get down!” she slightly raised her voice without even realizing it, or the fact she was now standing in plain sight. Button Mash looked to see Spark walking out of the cave and instantly he reacted. He didn’t want Sweetie Belle to be caught or she would be grounded. So he did the unthinkable. He grabbed Sweetie Belle and tackled her to the ground, thereby putting her out of sight. But things didn’t go as expected. When the dust settled they found each other in the most awkward position. Button Mash was standing over Sweetie Belle with their faces and their bodies just mere centimeters from each other. Both their faces was blushing madly. Button Mash tried his best to explain himself. “Look Sweetie Belle I’m sorry, I saw Sp--” She stopped him by shoving her hoof in his mouth. “Shut it.” She whispered. She removed her hoof and showed how furious she was. In a way he did save her, but the problem now was the fact that neither of them could move from their incredibly awkward positions with Spark standing out there or they would be seen. So the two annoyingly stayed in their positions until Spark left. However from the sound of it, it seemed Spark was not alone. ****** “Wait purple one, wait,” said a diamond dog as it approached. “I think we actually found the perfect one this time.” “Okay let me see,” he replied. The diamond dog showed Spark something. Neither Button Mash nor Sweetie Belle could see what the diamond dog was showing Spark, but from the sound of his excitement, it was exactly what he was looking for. As he jumped up and down. “That’s it! That’s it! This is perfect!” “So she will like it?” “Oh, she will adore it.” ****** The conversation continued between the diamond dog and Spark for several minutes, but Sweetie Belle could barely hear the rest for her own mind starting to fog over as she looked at Button Mash. ‘Has he always been this handsome.’ she thought as she stared intently at him. Meanwhile he hadn’t notice as he was trying to get a better view of Spark since he was in the top position. However as time went on, his legs began to weaken. Then without warning, his legs finally gave out and he fell, his body falling the rest of the way. Upon feeling the touch of their bodies against each other, Sweetie Belle accidentally let out a joyful yelp. Spark turned as he heard the yelp and thought, ‘Hmm strange. Oh, well.’ Meanwhile the main thing through Sweetie Belle’s mind was, ‘I just yelped for joy. I just yelped for JOY! WHY DID I JUST YELP FOR JOY?!?!’ And Button Mash’s mind was on a similar track. Soon the conversation between Spark and diamond dog came to an end. But Sweetie Belle and Button Mash didn’t know that. For the world was completely nonexistent to them as they were now lost in each other’s eyes. They were unknowingly admiring each other. ‘Oh what am I doing?’ they both questioned themselves. ‘I can’t stop staring into that face.’ As time started to slow, the two began to lean towards each other. ‘Oh, what am I doing? Oh no, I can’t stop myself!’ their minds struggled. Soon their faces were so close that they could feel each other's warm breath. Both their eyes began to dilated from the touch of the other’s breaths. And that was it, both their minds went blank, and finally their eyes closed upon waiting for that glorious touch of each other’s lips. Soon they were so close that only a microscope could tell that their were still not touching yet. Now both their minds were now yelling the opposite of before. ‘JUST KISS ME ALREADY!!!!’ It was going to be perfect. It was going to be incredible. It was... ...just got flat out ruined as Sweetie Belle felt something jab at her gut that killed the mood in an instant. Sweetie Belle lowered her head back to the the ground and opened her eyes in anger, while Button Mash hadn’t noticed as he kept his movement going until he felt her hoof in his mouth once more. Button Mash opened his eyes to see a red hot furious rage on Sweetie Belle’s face. “Button,” she spoke with the most dreaded malice in her voice as she removed the hoof. “That better be a stick poking at my gut, or so help me I will kick you so hard down there THAT YOU WOULD HAVE WISH I WAS GROUNDED FOR A WEEK!!” “I… I… I....” and that’s when he realized that was no stick, as he jumped off of her as quick as he could. As soon as he was off of her he tried explain himself. “I’m sorry Sweetie Belle, I just….I just--” He was instantly stopped as Sweetie Belle slapped him across the face. “I do not want to hear it. I'm going to spy on Rarity now. ON MY OWN!!” She yelled the last part as she left. ****** Sweetie Belle headed over to Rarity’s boutique. ‘What is with him? Why did he have to ruin it?’ she thought. ‘Wait why am I worried about this. It’s not like I wanted to kiss the idiot.’ her mind thought in denial. She looked up to see that it was late afternoon, so she rushed. She soon arrived and went inside. Once there, she heard Rarity humming even happier than before. Sweetie Belle walked over to the table when she saw that dinner was ready. She sat down and began to eat. “Oh, good, Sweetie. I had hoped you would show up soon,” Rarity said as she walked up. “I have good news and bad news.” Sweetie Belle turned to see what her sister had to tell her. Rarity continued. “It seemed mom and dad are going on a big date tomorrow, so they asked if I could have you stay the night as per our usual thing.” Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement as she began to eat her meal. It wasn’t first time Rarity was asked to babysit, even though Sweetie Belle was old enough to take care of herself now, but she really didn’t mind spending time with Rarity. They could find plenty of fun stuff to do. Of course that seemed like the good news, but what was the bad news? “Well, you see Sweetie, that would be fine for tonight. But...” “But what?” Sweetie Belle questioned. “Well, you see tomorrow I will be busy being with my special somepony. Oh wow, did I just say that out loud.” Rarity blushed madly as she giggled. Hearing those words almost cause Sweetie Belle to choke on her meal. This was out of nowhere. Rarity had never used those words to describe a stallion she was dating. Rarity was always so hesitant when even using that word in conversation. But there was not a single hesitation this time. In fact she sounded joyful upon saying it. “Rarity?” Sweetie Belle questioned her sister’s words. “You can’t really be saying that you see this Spark like that.” Rarity blushed even more as she waved her hoof at her sister. “Oh… but I do,” Rarity said as she swayed her head back and forth, obviously having a momentary thought of her stallion. “Oh Sweetie, have you ever felt giddy around a stallion before?” “You been giddy over stallions plenty of times,” she deadpanned. “Yes, but not like this,” Rarity continued as she swayed back, landing on her fainting couch as it appeared. “I mean I originally had some doubt about dating him. I saw me and him as really good, close friends. And now I can’t see myself as anything else but as his special somepony, and especially having him be--” She hummed with even greater delight and then continued, “my special some--” “Are you that serious about this stallion?” Sweetie Belle questioned as she interrupted her. “Oh yeah it’s like I’m under some sort of spell. And tomorrow on Hearts and Hooves Day. I plan to spend every minute with my….my…. eeekkk!!” she screamed with delight. Sweetie Belle instantly reacted by doing a double-take as she heard that. “Wait, Hearts and Hooves Day is tomorrow?!?!” ****** Author's Note So next is Heart and Hooves Day. There still plenty of mystery going on. Get ready for the Chapter 5: The Dreadful Day. Chapter 5: The Dreaded DayAuthor's Note Well here it is. You asked and I finally gave in. A little warning ahead, this chapter did not get proofread. and most of what you are seeing is over six months old. So please take this chapter with a grain of salt. Truthfully what stopped me from posting this chapter sooner was the fact that I was stuck in a rut with this story. I know how this story is going to end and even how most of the remaining chapters are going to play out. The only problem being my willingness to keep this story going. I know it is one of my highest rated story. But I have reached a point in my life where writing romantic comedies work best in a one shot. I find myself having a really hard time doing multi-chapter ones. And this one is the casualty of my writing growing. So here it is going to go, if I can't get one more chapter out before the end of January, then I giving this story away to a writer of my choosing. Blogs on that will be posted in February. Chapter 5: The Dreaded Day Sweetie Belle woke up on this imfamous day. She found that she had fallen asleep on the couch near some boardgames her and Rarity had played. She lifted her head and noticed that Rarity had put a blanket over her. She used her magic to move the blanket off of her. She then got off the couch and stretched. Suddenly a warm smell caught her nose. She followed it as she heard giggles and laughter in the kitchen. She got past the door only to see disappointment as she saw Rarity and Spark leaning against each other as they giggled and laugh back and forth. “Hey what is everypony laughing about?” Rarity turned with a plate of breakfast in her magical grasp. “Oh Sweetie your awake. We are just trying to contain ourselves about the story Button just told us.” Sweetie Belle's eyes widen as she noticed Button Mash was at the table. The table had been set for four this time. There was also a bag set on one of the chairs. “Please don’t laugh. It’s embarrassing.” “What's embarrassing? Wait you didn’t tell them what happen yesterday.” “Not all of it Sweetie Belle, just that you were mad at me for tackling you.” “Oh so there was more to that ‘yelp’ I heard.” Spark chimed in after the food was done. “You heard us.” They both said. “Yep, though I didn’t know what you two were doing.” He walked over to the table as Rarity used her magic to bring over four plates. “Speaking of, what were you doing talking to those gasly dogs?” Rarity asked with a raised eyebrow. “Yeah…. Well I was going to wait, but since you are so curious.” He walked over to the chair that had the bag hanging from it. He grabbed something out while she wasn’t looking. He walked behind her as she placed the plates down. He pulled it around her neck. She looked down to see what he was wrapping around her neck. She jumped for joy as she saw a luxurious amethyst covered necklace with a small fire ruby at the center. “EEEKKK!! Thank you. Thank you.” she said in the most joyful voice. “Happy Hearts and Hooves Day,” he said. She quickly nuzzle into him greatly. Rubbing her head under his chin. Finally meeting his face with an immaculate kiss. It was deep and incredible. As they kissed Sweetie Belle stuck out her tongue in a gagging motion as she looked at the necklace. There was no way that was what he had found in those caves. The necklace was perfectly forged. If he had found it yesterday, there was no way he got that forged in one day. Rarity kiss with Spark went on a lot longer as she slipped him her tongue. It was getting awkward for Button Mash and Sweetie Belle. The two tried to get to eating, but it was kind of hard with them still going. Finally after a few long minutes Rarity and Spark parted to breathe. After which they sat down beside each other to eat a now cold meal. “Oh why is the breakfast so cold?” Rarity asked. “Oh I don’t know. But maybe time doesn’t want to stop just because you are eating each others faces!” Sweetie Belle gave an incredible deadpanned answer, rivalling Twilight's sarcasm levels. Both Rarity and Spark’s faces turned the brightest red. The four went to eating their breakfast. They would need to be ready for the day ahead. ****** Rarity and Spark were practically leaning against each other as they walked through town. Rarity was walking to almost everypony they saw. She wanted to show Spark off to everypony. She was treating him like a trophy that she had won. Meanwhile Button Mash and Sweetie Belle followed but as far back as possible. They wanted to stay away from the romantic fumes of those two as much as possible. Sweetie Belle had been thinking about the necklace. There was no way Spark found that in a cave, so why did he lie. And what did he really find in the cave. Button Mash however was trying to figure out a way of saying sorry for yesterday. He wanted to make up for what he did. He had to. Soon he looked and saw a flower stand. He remembered that he had a few extra bits from his part time job as a arcade mechanic. He walked over while Sweetie Belle wasn’t looking and bought a flower. He then brought it back to her. “Sweetie Belle I’m sorry for what happen yesterday.” She turned upon hearing his voice. She gave a light blush when she saw it. It was a light purple lily, her favorite. “Thank you.” she said slowly. Though her mind was currently on Spark and Rarity, she leaned over and took a bite from the flower. She ate it slowly as she turned back towards the other two. At the same time trying to hide the fact she sort of like the sweet little gesture. Button Mash however had been sent to a slight stun. This was because he had figured that she would grab it with her magic. But with her mind being distracted she reached over and had bit into it while his mouth was still on the stem. This had put their mouths just centimeters apart. Even after it was over he still felt her breath on his lips. It felt almost as incredible as it did yesterday. Slowly breaking free from the stun he found himself a few meters away from them. He rushed to catch back up with Sweetie Belle. ****** They soon came upon the Castle of Friendship. There they saw Twilight and Starlight walking out the doors. “And what are you two up to.” ask Rarity. The two turned with a wide eyed and almost caught look. “Well Starlight wanted to learn more about this holiday so I’m taking her through the town. It so we can get information from multiple ponies,” answer Twilight as her face was covered in sweat. “Yeah.” Starlight tried to support her words but it wasn’t helping. “Well if you are wanting some answers I’m sure me and Spark should be able to help with that.” Sweetie Belle and Button Mash got to the castle and saw them talking and decided to take a break. As they took a break Button Mash looked up and saw the unexpected. “Is that the Tardis up there?” he questioned as he pointed. Sweetie Belle didn’t hear him. She was too busy trying to hear what the other four were talking about. “Sweetie Belle did you hear me? I think I see the tardis in the sky.” He tried telling her again. She just nodded. “Yeah, yeah.” “I wonder what is the Doctor and Derpy are up to,” he wonder because he had been hearing the ship usual noise randomly thought this entirety of the week. “Yeah it’s a beautiful day.” “You're not even listening,” he said with slight annoyance. She looked back at him and asked “What were you saying Button?” “Nevermind.” The two continued to sit there until Rarity and Spark were done talking to Twilight and Starlight. Once Rarity and Spark were were done talking, they all left. ****** The four spent the rest of the day continuing around town. Rarity was joyful to anypony they had seen. She wanted to show Spark off to everypony. But eventually it was getting close to midday and in a few hours it would be supper time. And Spark had something big planned for this. But he first took them over to the mailing station for some reason. “Why are we here, my handsome stallion?” Rarity practically cooed. “Well there is something here I have to pick up,” answered Spark. The four stepped into the mailing station. There could be seen a gray pegasus mare. Button looked in confusion. It was Derpy and she was alone. But how, didn’t he just see the tardis in the sky not but a few a hours ago. Maybe the Doctor had took it somewhere on his own. But why. Spark walked up to the front desk where Derpy was. “Did it come back yet?” he asked. “What came back my dear?” Rarity asked him as she walked up beside him. “Oh the big box. Yeah it just came in.” Derpy answered. “I’ll go get it.” “Try to be careful with it.” Button Mash saw this as his time. He walked over and asked. “Hey Derpy, has the Doctor been going around in the Tardis anywhere lately?” “No, actually the Tardis has been acting up lately. He said it was something to do with some time anomalies that have been happening all week.” “Oh okay.” He walked back over to Sweetie Belle, who was staring in annoyance at the other two as Rarity rubbed her side right up to Spark, humming as she did. Soon Derpy returned with a big box. Spark walked away from Rarity for a second. This caused a slight huff from her. Derpy placed the big box on his back. “Are you sure you can carry it?” Derpy questioned. “Yeah, I’ve carried a lot more heavier stuff than this before.” After that the four left the mailing station with the box. “Well what's inside the box?” Rarity asked. “Oh it’s a surprise. But you have to wait until we are done with our next stop before you can open it.” “Which is where?” she asked blinking in her flirting tone. “To the spa.” “You don’t mean,” her eyes slowly widened. “Yep.” “The special somepony treatment!” he nodded a yes to her and she jumped for joy. “EEEEEKKKKK!!!!” ****** As the four left, a tall serpent figure could be seen in the background behind some trees. He wore a full black ninja suit. He watched the four until they were out of sight. Once they were, him and a rather tall mare in the same outfit snuck their way over to the mailing station. As they sneaked, the mare couldn’t help but notice how ridiculous this idea was. It was too obvious who these two were. “Dissy, do we have to wear th--” She tried to ask but he lifted his talon finger up to her mouth interrupting her. “Quiet Tia. Do you want us to get caught?” he whispered. “Okay, I get that.” she whispered back, “But why do we have to wear black? You know black isn’t my color.” “Well there is such a thing as subtlety my dear.” he said as he got to the door. He opened the door and walked through it as quickly as he could. “Yeah, yeah. We are about as subtle as any other alicorn and draconequus in town,” she said in her best sarcastic tone as she followed behind him. ****** Meanwhile the group arrived at the spa. They walked inside. At the front was the spa sisters as well as a crowd of ponies. Rarity looked worried that she wouldn’t get to try the treatment. But soon a turquoise unicorn stallion walked up. “Oh you must be Spark Speagle and his special somepony.” he said. Rarity blushed a happy smile at those words. “The room you pre ordered is waiting for you. Please follow me.” As they walked away, Rarity noticed that Sweetie Belle and Button Mash would stuck doing nothing while they were enjoying themselves. “Hmp dear,” she nudged Spark. He turned to see what she wanted. “What about Sweetie and her friend?” “Oh, I had forgotten about them. Hmm I got an idea.” He walked over to them. “How about you two go to the arcade? I’ve got a few spare bits you can use.” “Do we look like we’re still kids?” Sweetie Belle question. “No there's no need, I actually have a part time job there.” “Alright then, we will meet up later at the Prancing Pony for a glorious dinner.” Button Mash walked off. Sweetie Belle would have stayed but it would look even more embarrassing for her to be there alone, so she left the spa as well. ****** Chapter 6: NO MORE LIESSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Chapter 7: And He Will Always Be By Your Side"Rarity are you ok, Rarity please respond" is what Rarity heard when she was starting to wake up. When she saw Spike standing there she felt a tear in her eye when she saw him. She thought that having spark was too good to be true but she got something more, she got her Spikey-Wikey. Rarity soon tackled Spike and kissed him on the floor. After a short while they parted so they could get some air and rarity could talk, while panting for air she said", Spike -pant-you made -pant- me the luckiest girl on the -pant- planet." All that spike could do is smile and asked rarity to please let him stand up. When they both stood up and sat on rarity's drama couch. Outside Sweetie Belle was hiding behind the bushes watching the whole ordeal go down, when she saw spike transform into spark she said", Well this is unexpected i never knew that spike would turn out to be the stallion." But while she said that, Spike and Rarity were looking at here through the window, spike and rarity both said at the same time Busted and she was blushing immensely at the sight of both of them. Then when she look at spike and rarity she saw them both smiling and they walked away, soon when they were gone Sweetie Belle walked into the room. *** Two Minutes Later *** With Spike and Rarity sitting on the couch and Sweetie Belle sitting in front of them while discussing how they were going to tell the girls about this revelation. Soon Spike said to Rarity and Sweetie Belle," girls I think it is time to tell the rest of the gang about this, but were going have to get them together but I think I have an Idea." *** Soon at Sugar Cube Corner *** The door bell rang while Spike and Rarity walked into the establishment. Pinkie with her ungodly speed soon appeared in front of Spike and Rarity. "Hey guys what can i get ya- wait no your not here for food are ya- hold on let me go get my pen and pad." Just after Pinkie said that she went up the stair and came back down with a pen and paper pad to write down notes. Spike soon replied," well pinkie i was hoping you could get a small get together with the crew." Pinkie did her thinking pose then said," Well let me see if i have space in my Schedule" Soon after a pause she replies," of course silly i have time, now the question is what is this gathering about." Spike winked at her then said," Spoilers." After an hour most of the main six has arrived to sugar cube corner. Spike and rarity were sitting at a table talking to each other about how they were going to tell their secret to everyone. Apple Jack stood up and said,"Well darn tootin wh'en are we goin' to hear this big news". After hearing her question Spike stood up then replied," Well you will know when twilight gets here." Soon after that she walked inside the establishment and said,"okay everyone is here what is the news." Soon after Rarity and spike stood up while taking in a deep breath. Spike soon stood on top of a stage and took the mic off its holder. He soon said," thanks for all of you for coming in at this short of a notice but this revelation could not stand any longer." Rarity then announced," does anyone know who spark's royal family lineage is?" Everyone just stood there questioning themselves. Spike then said," By now you guys might be confused on why she asked this but here is the truth" he then sighed," I am spark." Everyone gasped except Spike and Rarity. Twilight said while rubbing her temples," wait how can you be spark if when they both went on dates and you were home." Spike chuckled and then responded," Twilight you should know that dragons have magical abilities, celestia even told you this. And to answer you question i used a magic hologram Technique that Celestia taught me." Twilight soon had a questionable look on her face then sat down at a table trying to put all the information she just discovered just a moment ago into a logical sense. then she stood up again and then asked," if you were really spark why did you say that your from a royal family." After that question Celestia and Luna soon walked inside Suger Cube Corner and Celestia soon spoke up," Well i can answer that question for you twilight." The Crack In Reality-Final Chapter"What do you mean" Responded Twilight. Everybody except Spike turned towards the solar princess with an eyebrow raised."Well, it is very simple, Do you remember when you hatched Spike during your exam?" Twilight seemed more puzzled than the rest of the mane six. When the princess looked at the pony's she did a mental face-hoof. Ok here is simple-pony terms, Spike is magical. The mane six had their mouths agape when they heard this revelation. Princess Celestia soon said afterward, "It's not that hard to understand." The sun goddess soon walked over to her son and smiled, Princess Celestia looked at both Rarity and Spike as she told the whole group, "When Twilight was participating in the school for gifted unicorns she had to hatch spike out of an egg, while she did succeed she also gave Spike some magical abilities. One of the abilities you are familiar with. His ability to send mail by his fire breath. His most recent ability we have found out about is his ability to change into a species other than his original dragon state. When he transforms he has some of the characteristics of his natural form including his purple scales, green spikes/hair, and his eye color." Celestia said while facing the whole group. Some of the ponies inside of The Sugercube Corner had some understanding looks including Pinkie, Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack. But the other members of the mane six still had some confusing looks but started to understand what the princess was saying to them. Twilight then looked at the sun goddess and said," So you're telling us that because of me hatching him with magic I gave him some abilities that we don't know of ?" Celestia responded," that is what I am exactly saying twilight, I know most of you or some of you are still confused about the situation at hand but let me assure you that spike in no way is in danger to himself or others when he transforms, unlike the predicament during his birthday." After her comment the mane six gave a hopeful sigh as spike soon said to his mother, "Mom thank you for stopping by and telling my friends of what is going on with me right now," He then looks towards the mane six as he said, " I hope all of you can help me as we try to find out what other things I can do with this magic." When Pinkie heard this she grew a big smile while her hair inflated again and she shook her head vigorously as she said ok twilie. Twilight smiled as she said to the group," Alright i Celestia then smiled as she walked out the door and spread her wings as she flew off to canterlot. While Spike was standing there calmly the rest of the main 6 were confused to the point of breaking. Soon Rarity and Twilight started to stutter as they said,"S-spike h-how is this possible." Spike just shrugged as he just went over to the snack bar and got a glass of water. As he was drinking Pinkie shot over to him like a bullet and put her face right into his as she said,"Oh My God I can make a 'Spike has magical abilities party' can I spike please can I can I can I." Twilight soon butted in by saying, "Pinkie right now we don't need a party for this new information, nobody right now except us needs to find out about spikes abilities." Pinkie after hearing this response had her hair deflate a little bit and her ears drooped while she said ok. Applejack looked concerned at Pinkie Pie and then had a glare at Twilight, while she said," Twilight what in the horse apples was that, you didn't need to make Pinkie over here feel bad." Twilight sighed after her friend talked some sense into her, and walked over to her pink friend and apologized. "Sorry Pinkie I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but right now we don't know how spike obtained these abilities or even why he did except for what Celestia told us." When Pinkie heard this she grew a big smile and she started to shake her head vigorously as she said," Ok Twilie I get it." Twilight sighed a breath of relief and she started to walk towards the door as she said," Alright girls we should all get some sleep cause tomorrow we are heading towards cantorlot." Author's Note Hey guys I know it was a while but we got here, now don't worry I have the sequel underway and the first chapter should be coming out soon. So until then, I will see you all later.
Chapter 1: The New SteedIt was a glorious afternoon. The birds were chirping, the sun was bright as ever. A high school building was just about to let out the crowds of young mares and stallions to go home... ****** ...when a strange blue box flew through the sky above the school. What looked like a gray pegasus mare hung out the bottom of the opening, almost about to fall out, utterly forgetting for the moment she was a pegasus…. ****** Finally the school bell rang and the doors opened. The young stallions and mares left in a big crowd, ending the school day and heading home. In the crowd was a young white unicorn mare who had just recently hit her teen years. The mare had a mix of purple and light purple in her mane. Her name was Sweetie Belle. She was walking alone because her two friends had not gone to school today. Her friend Applebloom was busy at a family reunion and her friend Scootaloo was on a trip with Rainbow Dash. Sweetie Belle was just trying to get home when she overheard some gossip from some nearby mares. Usually she wouldn’t try to eavesdrop on what the mares were saying, since that whole newspaper fiasco a few years back, but when she heard one mare mention her sister’s name, she got curious and listened in. “So Rarity’s dating the new stallion in town.” “Yeah, from what I’ve heard he’s related to royalty.” “Really? Oh she always gets the finest stallions.” “But wait, isn’t she dating that dragon?” “No, that can’t be right. Didn’t you hear that it recently became illegal for a pony and a dragon to date? Besides, the stallion she is dating is much more handsome.” “Who made it illegal?” “Prince ‘Somby’ Blueblood.” After those last few words, Sweetie Belle had heard enough. She ran to the Carousel Boutique to find out what was going on. ****** Sweetie Belle arrived at the Carousel Boutique, opened the door and walked inside. Inside she could hear her sister in the kitchen humming the happiest of tunes. Sweetie Belle set down her stuff neatly as Rarity had always told her to, then she walked into the kitchen, smelling something delicious. Her eyes closed upon entering as she enjoyed the smell. “Sweetie…. Belle…. what are… you doing…. here,” Rarity’s happy humming was instantly gone, replaced by a peculiar stutter. Sweetie Belle opened her eyes to see Rarity not cooking a meal, but instead setting the table for two. She looked to see a stallion was making the meal. A meal for two. Or at least he was until he heard Rarity mention that Sweetie Belle was there. He turned towards Sweetie Belle. She realized this had to be the stallion that the mares were talking about. She looked him over closely, also noticing the fact that both of them were now shaking. The stallion looked around Rarity’s preferred age range. He stood roughly around the same height as Thunderlane and appeared to be a batpony. His coat was purple, his mane a dark green, and his cutie mark was that of a writing quill. “Sweetie Belle, what are you doing here,” Rarity repeated, finally getting herself to calm down. “I was curious about the new stallion I heard you were dating, and I wanted to ask you about him,” Sweetie Belle as she tried to ignore the obvious uneasiness in the room. “Well….. this is...” Rarity was talking awfully slow. “Sp…. Sp….” “Spark,” said the stallion, as he interrupted Rarity. “Spark?” Sweetie said with a raised eyebrow. “Yes,” said Rarity, as she looked back at the stallion. He had a bit of a sarcastic ‘what?’ look. “Spark Speagle, he’s Blueblood’s cousin.” “He is?” said Sweetie Belle. "I am?" He questioned, before Rarity lightly kneed him in the gut. "I mean, I am Spark Speagle nice to meet you." “All right you got your answers,” said Rarity, as she lifted Sweetie Belle up with her magic. She was clearly trying to get Sweetie Belle out of there so she could enjoy their meal for two. “Now here is your stuff, deary,” she levitated her out the door, giving her her stuff. “Why don’t you go visit with your friends?” Before Sweetie Belle could answer her, the door to the Boutique closed and Sweetie Belle was all alone. “Well I guess I will see how Spike is taking this turn of events.” ****** Sweetie Belle arrived at the Castle of Friendship. She walked up the crystal stairway and knocked on the double doors. A moment passed and the doors opened. Standing behind door was a pink unicorn mare with a purple and blue mane. “Oh hey Sweetie Belle what brings you here?” said Starlight Glimmer. Starlight had lived there a more than a year now, ever since she had turned good. “I’m looking for Spike,” said Sweetie Belle. Suddenly another voice could be heard from within the castle. “Starlight who is it?” “Oh is just Sweetie Belle, Twilight. She’s asking where Spike is at,” Starlight answered. “He’s at the bar,” Twilight yelled back from inside the castle. “I thought he didn’t drink,” said Starlight. “He has since that crazy law was passed,” Twilight yelled back in reply. “Okay,” said Starlight. She turned back to Sweetie Belle. “I’m sorry Sweetie Belle, it seems that Spike isn’t here.” “That’s okay, I’ll ask you,” Sweetie Belle replied. “What did you want to ask, dear?” “Did you know Rarity is dating the new stallion in town?” “Sure. That batpony? Yeah he’s a fine stallion. And so mysterious right? I wouldn’t mind dating him,” said Starlight with a smirk. “But Rarity claimed him rather quickly.” “Really?” said Sweetie Belle with a raised eyebrow. She thought it was strange. Ever since Tenderhoof, Rarity had been taking things a bit slower. And not just randomly try to claim one, like she did back then... “Yeah, I hear he moved to Ponyville around the same time that stupid law was passed,” said Starlight. “He hasn’t been seen much except for around Rarity, I heard that Spike met him a few times, but that’s about it.” “And what did Spike think?” “Actually from what I heard, Spike got along pretty well with him.” “Really?” said Sweetie Belle, slightly confused. “I even heard that Spike actually has no problem with Rarity dating the new stallion,” said Starlight. This only sent more confusion around in Sweetie Belle’s head. Spike has no problem at all with Rarity dating the new stallion in town? Sweetie Belle could feel something was wrong here. None of this sounded right. Spike not caring who Rarity was dating? He would have definitely had at least some worry for his long-time crush! And Rarity was acting very strange when she had found her. Something was definitely wrong. ****** After talking to Starlight, Sweetie Belle left the Castle of Friendship, and headed for the clubhouse. She had to get some answers about this mysterious new stallion. Once there, Sweetie Belle noticed a note on the door. It read, “Sorry Sweetie Belle. We couldn’t make it to the clubhouse either. We got busy too, but we got you some help. He’ll be there shortly. Your Friend, Diamond Tiara “Help? What help?” Suddenly Sweetie Belle heard hoofsteps heading toward her. She turned to see a young brown earth pony stallion around her age. The young stallion had a mix of orange colors in his mane and a video game controller’s directional pad for a cutie mark. “Oh great...Button Mash!” said Sweetie Belle with a less than an enthusiastic voice. She tried her best to hide the obvious problem with this and with Hearts n Hooves just a few days away. Overall this was not going to end well. ****** Author's Note So have any of you figure going on. If so then, DON'T SPOIL IT. If you feel like commenting on something with spoilers in it. PLEASE USE THE SPOILER BUTTON. Or you'll complete ruin somepony else read. There a lot mystery going on in Ponyville. Some you may have spotted other you may have not. This goes for every chapter. Any comments that will ruin things for new readers I will delete.
Chapter 2: CuriosityInside the clubhouse, Sweetie Belle walked around trying to figure out what to do while Button Mash quietly sat there. He didn’t mind helping out Sweetie Belle and Sweetie Belle had nothing wrong with having his help, but she also knew this was some sort setup. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had been trying to push Button Mash and Sweetie Belle together for nearly a year now. To date, this was the twentieth time they had pulled something like this. At first Sweetie Belle didn’t mind it. She saw Button Mash as sweet. But the ex-bully’s stubbornness at pushing them together made it hard for them to move closer than simply being close friends. And because of that it created a major awkwardness about things, especially since Button Mash was already shy to begin with. “So who’s idea was it this time?” said Sweetie Belle. The letter had been from Diamond Tiara, but it was often both their ideas. “Well….I received a letter from Silver Spoon,” said Button Mash. “Fine let’s go talk to them,” said Sweetie Belle. “But….I thought we were going to go spy on your sister and her new stallion?” said Button Mash. “What? How did you know my original plan?” Sweetie Belle was understandably caught of guard by this. “That’s what my letter said,” Button Mash showed her the letter. Sweetie Belle grabbed it with her magic and read it. “What? How do they know about Rarity’s new stallion Spark Speagle before me, when I just barely found out myself a few hours ago?” said Sweetie Belle getting increasingly annoyed. “Okay we’re going to go see them right now,” Sweetie Belle ran out of the clubhouse. “Oh… alright,” said Button Mash as he followed after her. ****** ….The two left so quickly they didn’t notice a blue box spinning in the sky overhead. The doors open and two male voices were arguing inside. “I told you to get away from my controls,” one male voice said. “No, this is too much fun,” said the other male voice with a familiar giggle. Suddenly a gray pegasus mare started falling towards the doorway, as the blue box flew out of sight…. ****** Sweetie Belle and Button Mash arrived at Diamond Tiara’s mansion. It stood four stories tall and had too many rooms to count. Sweetie Belle knocked on the ivory doors. A brown earth pony with a white mane walked out. It was Diamond Tiara’s family butler. “May I help you,” he asked them. “Yeah, we are looking for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon,” said Sweetie Belle. “I shall get their attention,” said the butler as he left. The two stood there and waited for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. After a few moments of waiting, Sweetie Belle was getting annoyed. Button Mash stood thinking to himself, ‘Ask her already, no, ask her already, no,’ Finally he gave in and spoke. “Uh, Sweetie Belle -- ” But before he could finish, Diamond Tiara walked out. “Oh hey you two. Enjoying yourselves?” asked Diamond Tiara, giggling. “You know very well how annoying this is,” said Sweetie Belle. “What? But I thought this was your idea,” said Diamond Tiara. “What are you talking about?” Sweetie Belle asked. “You sent me a letter to set this up,” said Diamond Tiara. “What? No I didn’t,” Sweetie Belle protested, even more confused. “Yeah, you did,” said Diamond Tiara as she grabbed the letter with her magic. “See?” “What?” said Sweetie Belle. She grabbed it with her own magic and read it. It was her words and her writing style. But this made no sense! It was obviously a fake, done by either Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon or most likely Rarity. Rarity had copied Sweetie Belle's writing style before. Sweetie Belle figured that this must some attempt to distract her from finding out anything on this Spark Speagle. But Sweetie Belle was not going to be having any of that. There was obviously something going on and now she was more determined then ever to find out what. After a fruitless talk with Diamond Tiara, Sweetie Belle decided to go ahead and let Button Mash help out. They left the mansion. “So… where are we going?” he asked. “To go see Spike personally.” “But didn’t you say that he was at…. a bar,” said Button Mash with obvious uneasiness. “Yeah.” “But we’re too young to….drink,” said Button Mash, growing more and more nervous. “Button we are not going there to drink,” said Sweetie Belle. “We’re going there to talk to Spike and tell him something is wrong.” “But I thought Starlight already told you he was fine with it?” “But it’s clear something is wrong and Spike can’t find out what hiding in a bar all day.” “Okay,” said Button Mash. “But how will we know which bar he is in?” “Button, there is only one bar near Ponyville where a dragon can actually get a good drink,” said Sweetie Belle. “And that’s the Garble’s Grub.” “And… that is where?” “Just outside the Everfree Forest.” ****** The two arrived at the Garble’s Grub. It was a dragon’s bar run by a tall, thin red dragon name Garble. He had run the place there for nearly a year now, ever since him and Spike had met back during the last dragon migration. The two had fixed their problems and become good friends. Sweetie Belle and Button Mash walked up to the door and ignored the sign on it, walking into the bar. “Hey you two!” said Garble from the other side of the bar. “Did you not read the sign, no underage drinkers? Now get out here. This stuff is twice as strong as pony’s hard cider.” Indeed it most likely it was. Dragons had a stronger tolerance for alcohol than ponies. Sweetie Belle remembered how one time Spike had gotten into a drinking contest with Applejack back at the farm and nearly won. “We’re not here to drink. We’re here to see Spike,” said Sweetie Belle. “Oh… well Spike,” said Garble, as he was stomping his foot rather loudly. Button Mash raised his eyebrow at this. Suddenly the door to the back room opened up. Inside could be seen several orange colored juices, most likely some sort of hard cider made for dragons. “There you are Spike. You got ponies here to see you.” Spike wandered over, clearly drunk, a few times nearly falling over. He had grown some over the years, his wings even had finally come in. On all fours, which he was most of the time now, he was a little bit taller then Rarity. “Oh… Hi… Garble,” said Spike slurring his words as he walked over to his seat. “Wow, Spike I said drink the stuff slow, not fast,” said Garble. “You’re drinking too many.” “Too many… I’ll be fine,” said Spike. He looked at Sweetie Belle and Button Mash. “Oh hey look…. it’s the happy couple.” “What?!?!” they both said. “What do you….. two want?” “We want to you to know that there is something wrong with Spark Speagle.” “Spark Speagle….. Spark…. well you want to know the truth?” said Spike, who was switching back and forth between talking and shouting. “Yeah,” said Sweetie Belle. Spike stood on his back legs. Garble getting ready to catch him in case he fell. “WELL I --,” but before Spike could finish he puked all over the floor. “I don’t care who he is….. he treats Rarity perfectly and that all…. that matters,” he finished by returning to his sitting position. “Oh Spike I told you you were pounding down the stuff too hard,” said Garble as he walked over with a mop. “Actually I think…. I’m handling the stuff just….. fine,” said Spike. “Okay, that’s enough for today,” said Garble. “Fine.” It was clear that Sweetie Belle was not going to get through to Spike. He was clearly too drunk. “Come on Button Mash, let’s go. We’re not going to get any answers from him.” “Okay.” The two left the Garble’s Grub, deciding the next stop should be back at Rarity’s. Maybe by now that Spark would be gone. Meanwhile back in the bar. “Come on Spike calm down,” said Garble. “SG can only make so much pumpkin hard cider. Here drink some water, it will calm you down.” “Thanks…. you two are the best.” ****** Sweetie Belle and Button Mash arrived at the Carousel Boutique. Inside Rarity was still humming happily, but this time there was no Spark Speagle nearby. The two walked into the Carousel Boutique. “Rarity we need to talk. Is that Spark Speagle gone?” “Why yes, he is dear. You just missed him. He left an hour ago,” said Rarity as she walked up to them. “Oh, you have Button Mash with you,” she said with a giggle. “Yeah I do,” said Sweetie Belle in a knowing tone to try and indicate that she had a feeling that Rarity was the one who sent the letter to Diamond Tiara. “Anyway, can we talk?” “Sure. About what, dear?” “Spike.” “Spi…. Spike,” said Rarity as she was caught off guard by the question. “What about Spike?” “Now I know you two were getting close, and I want know why you all the sudden have your hooves on a new stallion?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Spike and I are….. just friends,” said Rarity. Sweetie Belle didn’t believe her. Her statement seemed forced. “Now come on I’ve got dinner ready, oh and I've got to go to bed early tonight.” “What? But it’s Friday,” said Sweetie Belle. “And I think I should head home,” said Button Mash as he headed for the door. Sweetie Belle followed after him. As they got to the door, Sweetie Belle walked out with him to have a word. “Now what’s wrong? You’ve barely talked since we left Diamond Tiara’s place.” Button Mash just stood there. ‘Ask her, ask her, ask her,’ the thoughts from before buzzing through his head. “Sweetie Belle do you think we could -- ” But again before he could finish she shushed him with her hoof. This caused him to blush a little. Luckily Sweetie Belle didn’t see it as she had her mind on a new plan. “Hold that thought, I just got an idea.” “Okay, what?” “We’ll get answers by spying on Rarity’s date with Spark,” Sweetie Belle said as she removed her hoof. “What?!?!” said Button Mash. “Look Rarity only goes to bed early when she has a big date,” said Sweetie Belle. “So I say I find out where the date is, and then we go spy on her.” “But what if they see us?” “Good point,” said Sweetie Belle as she gave her plan another thought, slightly blushing. Button Mash didn’t notice. Sweetie Belle gritted her teeth. “We could say…. that we were on a date too.” “A DATE -- ” again she stopped him with her hoof. “But it’s not a date, we are only there to spy on them. Nothing more.” said Sweetie Belle. She removed her hoof. “Be here bright and early,” She walked back inside, closing the door behind her. Button Mash meanwhile just stood there like a statue. Sure she said ‘not’ a date. But it was still the closest to what he had been trying to ask all day. And now he had his chance. ****** Author's Note So Sweetie Belle and Button Mash have got a 'Not' Date. Let's just hope it goes well. And more strange stuff is still happening. What is the mystery? What are the answers? More soon. For now you'll have to wait for the next chapter, Chapter 3: A 'Not' Date.
Chapter 3: A 'Not' Date?It was a beautiful morning when Button Mash arrived at the Carousel Boutique. He had taken a shower before arriving and was dressed perfectly in a suit and tie, mane was perfectly brushed, he even had his hat off and he had a bouquet of flowers. It may have not been a real date, but he was going to try his best to make it perfect. He knocked on the door and waited patiently for her to answer. It took a moment and the door opened. It was Sweetie Belle, however she didn’t seem pleased. He wanted to question why, but then she told him. “You’re late,” Sweetie Belle said with a deadpan voice. “What… but it’s 7:00 in the morning,” Button Mash said confusingly. “Yeah, and I said be here early,” Sweetie Belle said with annoyance. “It,” he paused and then continued. “It is early,” he said in almost blatant annoyance, at the same time trying his best to hide it. “My sister has been up since six,” Sweetie Belle slightly raised her voice. They just stood there for a moment. Button Mash tried to get past this by giving her the bouquet of flowers. “I… got you these.” Sweetie Belle dropped her annoyance once she saw them. They were beautiful. “Eh, thank you,” she said as she took them with her magic. She turned towards the doorway and nodded for him to follow. She didn’t even notice the light blush on her face as she kept walking to the couch to put them down. Suddenly Rarity walked in. “Who was at the door, Sweetie-- ,” Rarity stopped herself as she saw Button Mash in a suit. She smiled, although Sweetie Belle was unaware of what this looked like, Rarity had dated enough stallions in her time to know how it appeared. But knowing how shy Button Mash was about Sweetie Belle and how blunt her sister could be sometimes about emotions, she decide to play it cool. “Button Mash, how good it is to see you. How is your mother?” “Fine, ma'am.” “Oh, good, well Sweetie Belle, I need to go run some errands. Will you be okay while I am gone?” she asked as she head for the door. “Yeah I’ll be fine.” “Alright then, you two behave yourselves,” Rarity said as she took her leave. As she walked she made sure that she was far away from the closed door before, with a big smile on her face, whispering, “Oh my dearest has got to hear this,” and with that she sped away to go find him. It was clear that Rarity had figured out some part of their plan. ****** As soon as Rarity left, Sweetie Belle started moving towards the front door. Once there, she locked it and then started heading for the back door. “So… did you find out where and when she is going to have the date?” asked Button Mash. “Yeah she’s going to her date right now,” said Sweetie Belle. “WHAT?” “Yeah, so let’s get moving. We’re taking the back way out,” said Sweetie Belle as she got to the back door and grabbed her spare keys. “Alright,” said Button Mash as he followed right behind her. ****** Button Mash and Sweetie Belle walked out the back door. Sweetie Belle locked it and then ran behind some bushes. Button Mash followed directly behind her. “So, where is she having this date?” Button Mash asked her. “She wouldn’t let any info slip on that, so we are going to follow her,” she replied as she ran to another bush. Button Mash again followed behind. This pretty much continued until they got to a bush close enough to Rarity so they could hear what she was saying. They saw her talking with a pink mare in a hood. “Hey doesn’t that look like -- ,” Button Mash was stopped by Sweetie Belle’s hoof. “Will you whisper? We’re trying to spy on them,” asked Sweetie Belle, as she put her hoof down. “Okay… then what’s your sister talking to this unknown mare about?” Button Mash asked. “Hold on. I’m trying to hear them,” Sweetie Belle replied as she put her ear closer. ****** “So, when will he be ready?” Rarity asked. “Oh don’t worry he’s getting ready right now. He’ll be at the Prancing Pony waiting for you,” said the unknown mare. “Oh lovely,” said Rarity as she took her leave. ****** “Okay she is going to have her date at the Prancing Pony,” whispered Sweetie Belle. “Do you know where that is?” “Of course, I --” Sweetie Belle stopped herself, then slowly spoke again, “I sort of went there…with Rumble once,” Sweetie Belle whispered sheepishly. “Wait… WHAT?!?!--” Button Mash almost yelled but Sweetie Belle stopped him with her hoof again. “Look it was one time, and he was doing it to get back at Scootaloo for an argument they had. Nothing happen,” replied Sweetie Belle as she put her hoof back down. While doing that a thought ran through her mind. ‘Wait why am I explaining myself to Button Mash?’ but she pushed the thought aside as she saw Rarity getting too distant. “Come on let’s go.” ****** The two arrived at the Prancing Pony before Rarity. There they found Spark Speagle sitting at a table, waiting patiently for Rarity to arrive. They sat at a table behind a big tall bush where Spark couldn’t see them. Finally Rarity when arrived, Spark got up and greeted her with a bow. “Good morning m’lady,” She giggled, blushing at his gesture, and bowed back. Sweetie Belle almost stuck out her tongue in disgust. It looked like an opening to one those sappy romance novels that Rarity kept. Meanwhile Button Mash just kept watch. ****** Suddenly an apple flew through the air and hit Button Mash in the head. “Hey, who threw that?” he whispered. But as he turned around his face went bright red upon what he saw. Off in the distance behind another bush was a mare and stallion around their ages, kissing rather passionately. “Hey what’re you looking at Button?” Sweetie Belle asked. Suddenly Button Mash instantly turned around to hide his still bright red face. Sweetie Belle turned to see what he was looking at, but the couple that he saw was gone. Instead she saw a certain draconequus’s tail behind another bush. ****** Button Mash tried his best to spend the rest of the time ignoring what he saw. Meanwhile it seemed that Rarity and Spark were rather enjoying themselves. Sweetie Belle could barely hear what they were saying mostly do to the fact they were either talking very little or talking very low and yet she still felt uneasy about this Spark Speagle. There was something about him that seemed off. Sweetie Belle continued to spy on Rarity and Spark. And then the waiter finally came over to the table that Button Mash and Sweetie Belle were at. “May I take your order?” “Oh that’s right, I forgot you have to order something to have a table,” said Sweetie Belle as she grabbed the menu. “I’ll have an omelet with a side of salad, what about you Button Mash?” “Oh,” Button Mash almost jumping at her words. He then grabbed a menu. “I’ll have…” he didn’t know what to order. Finally he just asked for the same thing that she was having. ****** Overall the ‘not’ date went terrible. The two had very little to talk about, due to the fact that Sweetie Belle kept checking up on her sister every few minutes. Button Mash meanwhile tried his best to start a conversation, but she would turn away from him in the middle of it to again check on her sister. It almost seemed like Sweetie Belle was acting like an older sister watching a younger sister on a date. Meanwhile Rarity and Spark were having the time of their lives. Enjoying every minute of their date. Sweetie Belle couldn’t figure Spark out. What did Rarity see in him? He acted totally different from the usual stallions Rarity had dated and yet Rarity couldn’t stop staring romantically at him. Rarity and Spark talked and talked, giggled and giggled, followed by more talking. The love fumes as it were, were almost too much for Sweetie Belle. After three long hours, the date finally came to a close. Spark got up from his spot to take his leave. He walked over to Rarity’s side, bowed and then picked up her hoof. “Well I must bid you adieu, most beautiful Rarity,” he then kissed her hoof. This caused Rarity to blush massively. In fact, her whole head nearly turned red from the gesture. “Oh you have to leave so soon? This was a lovely date,” she said. Spark lifted up his head and Rarity went for her own way of saying goodbye. She kissed him. To Sweetie Belle it seem like a simple, short kiss. But to Rarity and Spark it was anything but simple and to them it was definitely not short. It was amazing. When they stopped, Spark seemed to be in a bit of a daze. “Wow,” he slowly let out. Rarity again found herself giggling. Spark then took his leave. ****** After he was gone, Rarity sat there with the biggest smile on her face. “Hmm, how did I find such an incredible gent?” she asked as she tilted her head in bliss. Meanwhile Sweetie Belle and Button Mash got ready to take their leave. But then, “Oh Sweetie Belle where do you two think you are going?” Sweetie Belle instantly froze at that voice. “Sweetie I knew you two were behind the bush the whole time,” said Rarity, giggling. “What?” “Oh please, Sweetie, if you had been listening a bit closer you would realized that Spark mentioned seeing you two get a table.” “Oh come on!” said Sweetie Belle as her and Button Mash came to explain themselves. “We’re sorry we spied on you.” “That’s better. Now run along you two, I really do have errands to run,” Rarity said as she took her leave. “And I better not find you two spying on my date again, or I’ll make mom and dad ground you for a week.” “Fine we’ll head home,” said Sweetie Belle as she and Button Mash left. ****** Once they were a safe distance from the Prancing Pony, Button Mash said “So… that went well,” he lied. It had gone horribly. “So I guess we are giving up on this Spark, right?” “Nope, I am nowhere near done. Spark is hiding something and I know it.” “So… does that mean that we are going to try again tomorrow.” “Yes, and as many times as need be.” ****** Author's Note Sorry this one took so long. I was suffering a headache all last week. But got it done. Not sure what to title the next chapter. Right now the working title is, Chapter 4: Just How Many ‘Not’ Dates?.
Chapter 4: Plan B: More SpyingIt was a new morning for Button Mash as he got up and ate some breakfast. Once was he done, he left his home to check on Sweetie Belle. He had received a note from her telling him to meet her at the crystal mines. He didn’t know why she wanted to meet there, but he didn’t see a reason to argue. After that awful date, he really didn’t want to make things worse for himself. He headed straight there. ****** …..He left in such rush that he didn’t notice the blue box once again flying in the sky overhead. However this time it was acting rather calm, and looking like it was about to land….. ****** He arrived at the crystal mines and saw Sweetie Belle hiding behind a rock. He snuck up behind her. “Hi… Sweetie Belle.” Sweetie Belle jumped. “Oh hi Button Mash I didn’t see you.” She whispered as she yawned. “Why are you so tired?” he questioned, keeping his voice down. “Oh, I got up really early so I could get a better chance at spying on Spark.” “Wow, are you sure you will be okay.” he questioned worriedly. “I mean, we been at this for nearly a week now.” he noted. Indeed, ever since that proclamation Sweetie Belle had made nearly a week ago, the two had been gathering more and more info on Spark, and yet they were still no closer to finding any dangerous secrets. It seemed Spark Speagle was a perfectly fine gentlepony. However Sweetie Belle was getting more and more determined to find something hidden about him. Button Mash tried his best to stay by her side through all of this, but it was getting very hard. “I know but--” suddenly Sweetie Belle was interrupted by the sound of movement from within a nearby cave. “Oh snapples, get down.” “Wow you’re tired,” Button Mash said as he stood there beside her, questioning her choice of slang. “Just get down!” she slightly raised her voice without even realizing it, or the fact she was now standing in plain sight. Button Mash looked to see Spark walking out of the cave and instantly he reacted. He didn’t want Sweetie Belle to be caught or she would be grounded. So he did the unthinkable. He grabbed Sweetie Belle and tackled her to the ground, thereby putting her out of sight. But things didn’t go as expected. When the dust settled they found each other in the most awkward position. Button Mash was standing over Sweetie Belle with their faces and their bodies just mere centimeters from each other. Both their faces was blushing madly. Button Mash tried his best to explain himself. “Look Sweetie Belle I’m sorry, I saw Sp--” She stopped him by shoving her hoof in his mouth. “Shut it.” She whispered. She removed her hoof and showed how furious she was. In a way he did save her, but the problem now was the fact that neither of them could move from their incredibly awkward positions with Spark standing out there or they would be seen. So the two annoyingly stayed in their positions until Spark left. However from the sound of it, it seemed Spark was not alone. ****** “Wait purple one, wait,” said a diamond dog as it approached. “I think we actually found the perfect one this time.” “Okay let me see,” he replied. The diamond dog showed Spark something. Neither Button Mash nor Sweetie Belle could see what the diamond dog was showing Spark, but from the sound of his excitement, it was exactly what he was looking for. As he jumped up and down. “That’s it! That’s it! This is perfect!” “So she will like it?” “Oh, she will adore it.” ****** The conversation continued between the diamond dog and Spark for several minutes, but Sweetie Belle could barely hear the rest for her own mind starting to fog over as she looked at Button Mash. ‘Has he always been this handsome.’ she thought as she stared intently at him. Meanwhile he hadn’t notice as he was trying to get a better view of Spark since he was in the top position. However as time went on, his legs began to weaken. Then without warning, his legs finally gave out and he fell, his body falling the rest of the way. Upon feeling the touch of their bodies against each other, Sweetie Belle accidentally let out a joyful yelp. Spark turned as he heard the yelp and thought, ‘Hmm strange. Oh, well.’ Meanwhile the main thing through Sweetie Belle’s mind was, ‘I just yelped for joy. I just yelped for JOY! WHY DID I JUST YELP FOR JOY?!?!’ And Button Mash’s mind was on a similar track. Soon the conversation between Spark and diamond dog came to an end. But Sweetie Belle and Button Mash didn’t know that. For the world was completely nonexistent to them as they were now lost in each other’s eyes. They were unknowingly admiring each other. ‘Oh what am I doing?’ they both questioned themselves. ‘I can’t stop staring into that face.’ As time started to slow, the two began to lean towards each other. ‘Oh, what am I doing? Oh no, I can’t stop myself!’ their minds struggled. Soon their faces were so close that they could feel each other's warm breath. Both their eyes began to dilated from the touch of the other’s breaths. And that was it, both their minds went blank, and finally their eyes closed upon waiting for that glorious touch of each other’s lips. Soon they were so close that only a microscope could tell that their were still not touching yet. Now both their minds were now yelling the opposite of before. ‘JUST KISS ME ALREADY!!!!’ It was going to be perfect. It was going to be incredible. It was... ...just got flat out ruined as Sweetie Belle felt something jab at her gut that killed the mood in an instant. Sweetie Belle lowered her head back to the the ground and opened her eyes in anger, while Button Mash hadn’t noticed as he kept his movement going until he felt her hoof in his mouth once more. Button Mash opened his eyes to see a red hot furious rage on Sweetie Belle’s face. “Button,” she spoke with the most dreaded malice in her voice as she removed the hoof. “That better be a stick poking at my gut, or so help me I will kick you so hard down there THAT YOU WOULD HAVE WISH I WAS GROUNDED FOR A WEEK!!” “I… I… I....” and that’s when he realized that was no stick, as he jumped off of her as quick as he could. As soon as he was off of her he tried explain himself. “I’m sorry Sweetie Belle, I just….I just--” He was instantly stopped as Sweetie Belle slapped him across the face. “I do not want to hear it. I'm going to spy on Rarity now. ON MY OWN!!” She yelled the last part as she left. ****** Sweetie Belle headed over to Rarity’s boutique. ‘What is with him? Why did he have to ruin it?’ she thought. ‘Wait why am I worried about this. It’s not like I wanted to kiss the idiot.’ her mind thought in denial. She looked up to see that it was late afternoon, so she rushed. She soon arrived and went inside. Once there, she heard Rarity humming even happier than before. Sweetie Belle walked over to the table when she saw that dinner was ready. She sat down and began to eat. “Oh, good, Sweetie. I had hoped you would show up soon,” Rarity said as she walked up. “I have good news and bad news.” Sweetie Belle turned to see what her sister had to tell her. Rarity continued. “It seemed mom and dad are going on a big date tomorrow, so they asked if I could have you stay the night as per our usual thing.” Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement as she began to eat her meal. It wasn’t first time Rarity was asked to babysit, even though Sweetie Belle was old enough to take care of herself now, but she really didn’t mind spending time with Rarity. They could find plenty of fun stuff to do. Of course that seemed like the good news, but what was the bad news? “Well, you see Sweetie, that would be fine for tonight. But...” “But what?” Sweetie Belle questioned. “Well, you see tomorrow I will be busy being with my special somepony. Oh wow, did I just say that out loud.” Rarity blushed madly as she giggled. Hearing those words almost cause Sweetie Belle to choke on her meal. This was out of nowhere. Rarity had never used those words to describe a stallion she was dating. Rarity was always so hesitant when even using that word in conversation. But there was not a single hesitation this time. In fact she sounded joyful upon saying it. “Rarity?” Sweetie Belle questioned her sister’s words. “You can’t really be saying that you see this Spark like that.” Rarity blushed even more as she waved her hoof at her sister. “Oh… but I do,” Rarity said as she swayed her head back and forth, obviously having a momentary thought of her stallion. “Oh Sweetie, have you ever felt giddy around a stallion before?” “You been giddy over stallions plenty of times,” she deadpanned. “Yes, but not like this,” Rarity continued as she swayed back, landing on her fainting couch as it appeared. “I mean I originally had some doubt about dating him. I saw me and him as really good, close friends. And now I can’t see myself as anything else but as his special somepony, and especially having him be--” She hummed with even greater delight and then continued, “my special some--” “Are you that serious about this stallion?” Sweetie Belle questioned as she interrupted her. “Oh yeah it’s like I’m under some sort of spell. And tomorrow on Hearts and Hooves Day. I plan to spend every minute with my….my…. eeekkk!!” she screamed with delight. Sweetie Belle instantly reacted by doing a double-take as she heard that. “Wait, Hearts and Hooves Day is tomorrow?!?!” ****** Author's Note So next is Heart and Hooves Day. There still plenty of mystery going on. Get ready for the Chapter 5: The Dreadful Day.
Chapter 5: The Dreaded DayAuthor's Note Well here it is. You asked and I finally gave in. A little warning ahead, this chapter did not get proofread. and most of what you are seeing is over six months old. So please take this chapter with a grain of salt. Truthfully what stopped me from posting this chapter sooner was the fact that I was stuck in a rut with this story. I know how this story is going to end and even how most of the remaining chapters are going to play out. The only problem being my willingness to keep this story going. I know it is one of my highest rated story. But I have reached a point in my life where writing romantic comedies work best in a one shot. I find myself having a really hard time doing multi-chapter ones. And this one is the casualty of my writing growing. So here it is going to go, if I can't get one more chapter out before the end of January, then I giving this story away to a writer of my choosing. Blogs on that will be posted in February. Chapter 5: The Dreaded Day Sweetie Belle woke up on this imfamous day. She found that she had fallen asleep on the couch near some boardgames her and Rarity had played. She lifted her head and noticed that Rarity had put a blanket over her. She used her magic to move the blanket off of her. She then got off the couch and stretched. Suddenly a warm smell caught her nose. She followed it as she heard giggles and laughter in the kitchen. She got past the door only to see disappointment as she saw Rarity and Spark leaning against each other as they giggled and laugh back and forth. “Hey what is everypony laughing about?” Rarity turned with a plate of breakfast in her magical grasp. “Oh Sweetie your awake. We are just trying to contain ourselves about the story Button just told us.” Sweetie Belle's eyes widen as she noticed Button Mash was at the table. The table had been set for four this time. There was also a bag set on one of the chairs. “Please don’t laugh. It’s embarrassing.” “What's embarrassing? Wait you didn’t tell them what happen yesterday.” “Not all of it Sweetie Belle, just that you were mad at me for tackling you.” “Oh so there was more to that ‘yelp’ I heard.” Spark chimed in after the food was done. “You heard us.” They both said. “Yep, though I didn’t know what you two were doing.” He walked over to the table as Rarity used her magic to bring over four plates. “Speaking of, what were you doing talking to those gasly dogs?” Rarity asked with a raised eyebrow. “Yeah…. Well I was going to wait, but since you are so curious.” He walked over to the chair that had the bag hanging from it. He grabbed something out while she wasn’t looking. He walked behind her as she placed the plates down. He pulled it around her neck. She looked down to see what he was wrapping around her neck. She jumped for joy as she saw a luxurious amethyst covered necklace with a small fire ruby at the center. “EEEKKK!! Thank you. Thank you.” she said in the most joyful voice. “Happy Hearts and Hooves Day,” he said. She quickly nuzzle into him greatly. Rubbing her head under his chin. Finally meeting his face with an immaculate kiss. It was deep and incredible. As they kissed Sweetie Belle stuck out her tongue in a gagging motion as she looked at the necklace. There was no way that was what he had found in those caves. The necklace was perfectly forged. If he had found it yesterday, there was no way he got that forged in one day. Rarity kiss with Spark went on a lot longer as she slipped him her tongue. It was getting awkward for Button Mash and Sweetie Belle. The two tried to get to eating, but it was kind of hard with them still going. Finally after a few long minutes Rarity and Spark parted to breathe. After which they sat down beside each other to eat a now cold meal. “Oh why is the breakfast so cold?” Rarity asked. “Oh I don’t know. But maybe time doesn’t want to stop just because you are eating each others faces!” Sweetie Belle gave an incredible deadpanned answer, rivalling Twilight's sarcasm levels. Both Rarity and Spark’s faces turned the brightest red. The four went to eating their breakfast. They would need to be ready for the day ahead. ****** Rarity and Spark were practically leaning against each other as they walked through town. Rarity was walking to almost everypony they saw. She wanted to show Spark off to everypony. She was treating him like a trophy that she had won. Meanwhile Button Mash and Sweetie Belle followed but as far back as possible. They wanted to stay away from the romantic fumes of those two as much as possible. Sweetie Belle had been thinking about the necklace. There was no way Spark found that in a cave, so why did he lie. And what did he really find in the cave. Button Mash however was trying to figure out a way of saying sorry for yesterday. He wanted to make up for what he did. He had to. Soon he looked and saw a flower stand. He remembered that he had a few extra bits from his part time job as a arcade mechanic. He walked over while Sweetie Belle wasn’t looking and bought a flower. He then brought it back to her. “Sweetie Belle I’m sorry for what happen yesterday.” She turned upon hearing his voice. She gave a light blush when she saw it. It was a light purple lily, her favorite. “Thank you.” she said slowly. Though her mind was currently on Spark and Rarity, she leaned over and took a bite from the flower. She ate it slowly as she turned back towards the other two. At the same time trying to hide the fact she sort of like the sweet little gesture. Button Mash however had been sent to a slight stun. This was because he had figured that she would grab it with her magic. But with her mind being distracted she reached over and had bit into it while his mouth was still on the stem. This had put their mouths just centimeters apart. Even after it was over he still felt her breath on his lips. It felt almost as incredible as it did yesterday. Slowly breaking free from the stun he found himself a few meters away from them. He rushed to catch back up with Sweetie Belle. ****** They soon came upon the Castle of Friendship. There they saw Twilight and Starlight walking out the doors. “And what are you two up to.” ask Rarity. The two turned with a wide eyed and almost caught look. “Well Starlight wanted to learn more about this holiday so I’m taking her through the town. It so we can get information from multiple ponies,” answer Twilight as her face was covered in sweat. “Yeah.” Starlight tried to support her words but it wasn’t helping. “Well if you are wanting some answers I’m sure me and Spark should be able to help with that.” Sweetie Belle and Button Mash got to the castle and saw them talking and decided to take a break. As they took a break Button Mash looked up and saw the unexpected. “Is that the Tardis up there?” he questioned as he pointed. Sweetie Belle didn’t hear him. She was too busy trying to hear what the other four were talking about. “Sweetie Belle did you hear me? I think I see the tardis in the sky.” He tried telling her again. She just nodded. “Yeah, yeah.” “I wonder what is the Doctor and Derpy are up to,” he wonder because he had been hearing the ship usual noise randomly thought this entirety of the week. “Yeah it’s a beautiful day.” “You're not even listening,” he said with slight annoyance. She looked back at him and asked “What were you saying Button?” “Nevermind.” The two continued to sit there until Rarity and Spark were done talking to Twilight and Starlight. Once Rarity and Spark were were done talking, they all left. ****** The four spent the rest of the day continuing around town. Rarity was joyful to anypony they had seen. She wanted to show Spark off to everypony. But eventually it was getting close to midday and in a few hours it would be supper time. And Spark had something big planned for this. But he first took them over to the mailing station for some reason. “Why are we here, my handsome stallion?” Rarity practically cooed. “Well there is something here I have to pick up,” answered Spark. The four stepped into the mailing station. There could be seen a gray pegasus mare. Button looked in confusion. It was Derpy and she was alone. But how, didn’t he just see the tardis in the sky not but a few a hours ago. Maybe the Doctor had took it somewhere on his own. But why. Spark walked up to the front desk where Derpy was. “Did it come back yet?” he asked. “What came back my dear?” Rarity asked him as she walked up beside him. “Oh the big box. Yeah it just came in.” Derpy answered. “I’ll go get it.” “Try to be careful with it.” Button Mash saw this as his time. He walked over and asked. “Hey Derpy, has the Doctor been going around in the Tardis anywhere lately?” “No, actually the Tardis has been acting up lately. He said it was something to do with some time anomalies that have been happening all week.” “Oh okay.” He walked back over to Sweetie Belle, who was staring in annoyance at the other two as Rarity rubbed her side right up to Spark, humming as she did. Soon Derpy returned with a big box. Spark walked away from Rarity for a second. This caused a slight huff from her. Derpy placed the big box on his back. “Are you sure you can carry it?” Derpy questioned. “Yeah, I’ve carried a lot more heavier stuff than this before.” After that the four left the mailing station with the box. “Well what's inside the box?” Rarity asked. “Oh it’s a surprise. But you have to wait until we are done with our next stop before you can open it.” “Which is where?” she asked blinking in her flirting tone. “To the spa.” “You don’t mean,” her eyes slowly widened. “Yep.” “The special somepony treatment!” he nodded a yes to her and she jumped for joy. “EEEEEKKKKK!!!!” ****** As the four left, a tall serpent figure could be seen in the background behind some trees. He wore a full black ninja suit. He watched the four until they were out of sight. Once they were, him and a rather tall mare in the same outfit snuck their way over to the mailing station. As they sneaked, the mare couldn’t help but notice how ridiculous this idea was. It was too obvious who these two were. “Dissy, do we have to wear th--” She tried to ask but he lifted his talon finger up to her mouth interrupting her. “Quiet Tia. Do you want us to get caught?” he whispered. “Okay, I get that.” she whispered back, “But why do we have to wear black? You know black isn’t my color.” “Well there is such a thing as subtlety my dear.” he said as he got to the door. He opened the door and walked through it as quickly as he could. “Yeah, yeah. We are about as subtle as any other alicorn and draconequus in town,” she said in her best sarcastic tone as she followed behind him. ****** Meanwhile the group arrived at the spa. They walked inside. At the front was the spa sisters as well as a crowd of ponies. Rarity looked worried that she wouldn’t get to try the treatment. But soon a turquoise unicorn stallion walked up. “Oh you must be Spark Speagle and his special somepony.” he said. Rarity blushed a happy smile at those words. “The room you pre ordered is waiting for you. Please follow me.” As they walked away, Rarity noticed that Sweetie Belle and Button Mash would stuck doing nothing while they were enjoying themselves. “Hmp dear,” she nudged Spark. He turned to see what she wanted. “What about Sweetie and her friend?” “Oh, I had forgotten about them. Hmm I got an idea.” He walked over to them. “How about you two go to the arcade? I’ve got a few spare bits you can use.” “Do we look like we’re still kids?” Sweetie Belle question. “No there's no need, I actually have a part time job there.” “Alright then, we will meet up later at the Prancing Pony for a glorious dinner.” Button Mash walked off. Sweetie Belle would have stayed but it would look even more embarrassing for her to be there alone, so she left the spa as well. ******
Chapter 6: NO MORE LIESSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 7: And He Will Always Be By Your Side"Rarity are you ok, Rarity please respond" is what Rarity heard when she was starting to wake up. When she saw Spike standing there she felt a tear in her eye when she saw him. She thought that having spark was too good to be true but she got something more, she got her Spikey-Wikey. Rarity soon tackled Spike and kissed him on the floor. After a short while they parted so they could get some air and rarity could talk, while panting for air she said", Spike -pant-you made -pant- me the luckiest girl on the -pant- planet." All that spike could do is smile and asked rarity to please let him stand up. When they both stood up and sat on rarity's drama couch. Outside Sweetie Belle was hiding behind the bushes watching the whole ordeal go down, when she saw spike transform into spark she said", Well this is unexpected i never knew that spike would turn out to be the stallion." But while she said that, Spike and Rarity were looking at here through the window, spike and rarity both said at the same time Busted and she was blushing immensely at the sight of both of them. Then when she look at spike and rarity she saw them both smiling and they walked away, soon when they were gone Sweetie Belle walked into the room. *** Two Minutes Later *** With Spike and Rarity sitting on the couch and Sweetie Belle sitting in front of them while discussing how they were going to tell the girls about this revelation. Soon Spike said to Rarity and Sweetie Belle," girls I think it is time to tell the rest of the gang about this, but were going have to get them together but I think I have an Idea." *** Soon at Sugar Cube Corner *** The door bell rang while Spike and Rarity walked into the establishment. Pinkie with her ungodly speed soon appeared in front of Spike and Rarity. "Hey guys what can i get ya- wait no your not here for food are ya- hold on let me go get my pen and pad." Just after Pinkie said that she went up the stair and came back down with a pen and paper pad to write down notes. Spike soon replied," well pinkie i was hoping you could get a small get together with the crew." Pinkie did her thinking pose then said," Well let me see if i have space in my Schedule" Soon after a pause she replies," of course silly i have time, now the question is what is this gathering about." Spike winked at her then said," Spoilers." After an hour most of the main six has arrived to sugar cube corner. Spike and rarity were sitting at a table talking to each other about how they were going to tell their secret to everyone. Apple Jack stood up and said,"Well darn tootin wh'en are we goin' to hear this big news". After hearing her question Spike stood up then replied," Well you will know when twilight gets here." Soon after that she walked inside the establishment and said,"okay everyone is here what is the news." Soon after Rarity and spike stood up while taking in a deep breath. Spike soon stood on top of a stage and took the mic off its holder. He soon said," thanks for all of you for coming in at this short of a notice but this revelation could not stand any longer." Rarity then announced," does anyone know who spark's royal family lineage is?" Everyone just stood there questioning themselves. Spike then said," By now you guys might be confused on why she asked this but here is the truth" he then sighed," I am spark." Everyone gasped except Spike and Rarity. Twilight said while rubbing her temples," wait how can you be spark if when they both went on dates and you were home." Spike chuckled and then responded," Twilight you should know that dragons have magical abilities, celestia even told you this. And to answer you question i used a magic hologram Technique that Celestia taught me." Twilight soon had a questionable look on her face then sat down at a table trying to put all the information she just discovered just a moment ago into a logical sense. then she stood up again and then asked," if you were really spark why did you say that your from a royal family." After that question Celestia and Luna soon walked inside Suger Cube Corner and Celestia soon spoke up," Well i can answer that question for you twilight."
The Crack In Reality-Final Chapter"What do you mean" Responded Twilight. Everybody except Spike turned towards the solar princess with an eyebrow raised."Well, it is very simple, Do you remember when you hatched Spike during your exam?" Twilight seemed more puzzled than the rest of the mane six. When the princess looked at the pony's she did a mental face-hoof. Ok here is simple-pony terms, Spike is magical. The mane six had their mouths agape when they heard this revelation. Princess Celestia soon said afterward, "It's not that hard to understand." The sun goddess soon walked over to her son and smiled, Princess Celestia looked at both Rarity and Spike as she told the whole group, "When Twilight was participating in the school for gifted unicorns she had to hatch spike out of an egg, while she did succeed she also gave Spike some magical abilities. One of the abilities you are familiar with. His ability to send mail by his fire breath. His most recent ability we have found out about is his ability to change into a species other than his original dragon state. When he transforms he has some of the characteristics of his natural form including his purple scales, green spikes/hair, and his eye color." Celestia said while facing the whole group. Some of the ponies inside of The Sugercube Corner had some understanding looks including Pinkie, Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack. But the other members of the mane six still had some confusing looks but started to understand what the princess was saying to them. Twilight then looked at the sun goddess and said," So you're telling us that because of me hatching him with magic I gave him some abilities that we don't know of ?" Celestia responded," that is what I am exactly saying twilight, I know most of you or some of you are still confused about the situation at hand but let me assure you that spike in no way is in danger to himself or others when he transforms, unlike the predicament during his birthday." After her comment the mane six gave a hopeful sigh as spike soon said to his mother, "Mom thank you for stopping by and telling my friends of what is going on with me right now," He then looks towards the mane six as he said, " I hope all of you can help me as we try to find out what other things I can do with this magic." When Pinkie heard this she grew a big smile while her hair inflated again and she shook her head vigorously as she said ok twilie. Twilight smiled as she said to the group," Alright i Celestia then smiled as she walked out the door and spread her wings as she flew off to canterlot. While Spike was standing there calmly the rest of the main 6 were confused to the point of breaking. Soon Rarity and Twilight started to stutter as they said,"S-spike h-how is this possible." Spike just shrugged as he just went over to the snack bar and got a glass of water. As he was drinking Pinkie shot over to him like a bullet and put her face right into his as she said,"Oh My God I can make a 'Spike has magical abilities party' can I spike please can I can I can I." Twilight soon butted in by saying, "Pinkie right now we don't need a party for this new information, nobody right now except us needs to find out about spikes abilities." Pinkie after hearing this response had her hair deflate a little bit and her ears drooped while she said ok. Applejack looked concerned at Pinkie Pie and then had a glare at Twilight, while she said," Twilight what in the horse apples was that, you didn't need to make Pinkie over here feel bad." Twilight sighed after her friend talked some sense into her, and walked over to her pink friend and apologized. "Sorry Pinkie I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but right now we don't know how spike obtained these abilities or even why he did except for what Celestia told us." When Pinkie heard this she grew a big smile and she started to shake her head vigorously as she said," Ok Twilie I get it." Twilight sighed a breath of relief and she started to walk towards the door as she said," Alright girls we should all get some sleep cause tomorrow we are heading towards cantorlot." Author's Note Hey guys I know it was a while but we got here, now don't worry I have the sequel underway and the first chapter should be coming out soon. So until then, I will see you all later.
