The Rare-est of Feelings

Written By : frenettek314

It was a calm and simple day in the pleasant town of Ponyville. On this nice sunny day, Spike, the local lovable town dragon was headed to Rarity's boutique with a stack of chocolates in his hands and the biggest grin anypony had seen. Of course, everypony in town who knew Spike at all knew that he was going to try to win the heart of the white unicorn in question; Today would be the day that he would reveal his not-so-secret feelings to Rarity.

As Spike knocked on the door of the boutique, he could hear the fashionista in question. "Just a minute!" he heard her say. Once Rarity opened the door, she cast a huge grin on her face,

" Oh, Spike!" she exclaimed with delight, " It's so great to see you and... Oh! You brought me chocolates! You are the sweetest thing! Please do come in!" Spike proceeded to walk in to the "organized chaos" as Rarity would call it. As soon as Spike had enter though, he had started shaking nervously, Rarity immediately had noticed this and tried to calm Spike down. " Spikey? Are you ok? You look almost as nervous as the time I developed a crush on that Blueblood character?"

".....oh yeah..." Spike managed to say, " Well.... you see.. I..uh.." Spike stammered. " Spike, you're blowing it! Man...er...Dragon up!" his conscious self told him. " Rarity... the carnival is in town and I was wondering..uh... would..you like to go with me??".

As soon as those words came out, Rarity's smile had vanished into a dreaded look of pity. " Oh... Spike, Darling....this is not easy to say, but I already have a date to the carnival."

Spike looked like he was about ready to ball up and moan for several hours, "...a date? Oh, that's....that's lovely."

" Spikey? Are you going to be ok???" Rarity questioned with that of a worried mother being concerned for her child; and yet, all Spike could reply with was, "...well....good luck tonight...I'll be fine.", and quickly left without a second thought.

Spike soon arrived back to the castle with tears in his eyes. The princess of friendship herself, Twilight Sparkle saw Spike in a time of sadness and rushed quickly to his comfort. " Spike? What's wrong? Twilight asked, " Upset tummy? You lost a gemstone? Garble's coming?!?!".

" No, something MUCH worse, so bad it makes Garble look like a stuffed teddy bear!" Spike cried, " Rarity's going on a date!".

" Oh......no?" Twilight questioned, " Shouldn't Rarity be allowed to date?"

" Well, yeah...but....".

" You're upset because it's not you, right?" Twilight asked with concern.

" Well.......maybe."

" Spike, I know this is tough for you, but you shouldn't be upset because she's not with you, you should be happy that a good friend like Rarity can be happy with somepony of her own."

"Yeah, I guess.", and just then, Spike got an idea, a wonderfully awful idea with a smirk included.

Twilight immediately noticed this and began to give Spike an accusatory glare; " Spike, you 're not going to go down to the carnival spying on Rarity...are you?"

"pfffft....like I'd do that. C'mon Twi, I'd never do that." Spike boasted. Spike's conscious mind also backed this up, " Yeah, I'd never do that to Rarity.....without getting a couple churros first.".
