Chapter 2: A Rarity Revelation

Later that evening, Spike managed to sneak out to the carnival, unbeknownst to Twilight, who was tasked with handling pony affairs in the central grounds with Princess Celestia ( who was hot because sun goddess.). Spike was jealous to say the least with steams of smoke blaring out of his nostrils and his teeth grinding like nails on a chalkboard; " This so- called stallion better take good care of Rarity!" Spike thought as he stepped through the festival with thuds coming from each step he took.

There, in the distance, laid two ponies, one of which appeared to be a unicorn. Spike pinpointed the pair down and caught up to them in 10 seconds flat. Spike immediately saw the touching of hooves and stepped in front of....... Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy......with a unicorn shaped balloon. " AHA!!... Wait?! Rainbow Dash?! Fluttershy?!!?! What're you doing here?!"

The couple's eyes grew triple their size and cheeks grew red as Spike caught them in the midst of their date. " Oh, hey Spike..... We were just..." Fluttershy began, "

.....doing our....taxes together....." Rainbow Dash finished with sweat pouring down her head. "

You guys are at a carnival.....doing your taxes???" questioned Spike who was not buying the couple's attempt at secrecy. "

"I'll give you 10 bits to forget this" said Rainbow Dash.

"20" countered Spike. "

" I'll give you 30" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as Fluttershy gave herself a face hoof.

" Deal" agreed a confident Spike. After the exchange, Rainbow and Fluttershy walked away with their date still intact.

" We really need to work on your negotiating skills" demanded Fluttershy with Rainbow's face being a dark shade of red.

Finally, at the corner of his eye, Spike caught a marshmallow unicorn all by herself, walking with precision and tactfulness as she was trying to avoid being seen. Spike could care less about this though and ran as fast as he ever did in his life, " Where's the stallion gone off to?!" demanded Spike.

Rarity immediately jumped and attempted to calm Spike down, " Spike...shhhsh... calm...down..." , this only made Spike more tense as he was losing his patience,

" No!!!!! Where is this guy! Did he hurt you?!?!? Trip you?!?!? Get your coat dirty?!?!?!?". Rarity got very flustered by the embarrassment Spike was putting on her, just one more outburst.... " did he try to kiss you?!?!?!", that did it.

" SPIKE! SHUT UP! IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, HE STOOD ME UP, JUST LIKE HOW EVERY DATE GOES!!!!!!!!! I GOT REJECTED!!! THERE, ARE YOU HAPPY?!?!!?!?!?!!?!!!!!!!!". After that extremely loud outburst, Rarity took off galloping with tears in her eyes as every pony paused what they were doing and watched the scene that occurred.

Spike wanted to be happy nothing serious happened, but he just couldn't force any positive emotion as tears filled his eyes as well, " Rejected?!?? Just like every time?!?!".
