So Tired

It's night time in the town of Ponyville. Rarity still has her lights on in her work room in her boutique, she was making five dresses for her boutique in Canterlot. A turquoise dress with small light blue sparkles connected with lines, a green dress along with a green hat, a yellow picnic dress with a yellow and white sun hat, an orange conductor dress with an orange conductor hat and yellow stained glasses, an ocean dresses with sea stars and seashells, along with a mermaid tail in the back. She already finished the first two, she's making her third dress right now. She tried to stay awake, but she was exhausted. Her top eyelids were getting pretty close to drooping down, nearly connecting to the bottom eyelids. She shook her head, helping her stay awake. She was getting a headache from all of the dress making. "Uh, I'm like really jealous of Sweetie Belle right now.", she said. "It's going to take all night for me to finish this dress and the last two. I wish I had an assistant with me, like Spike. Oh, but he doesn't know how to make dresses. I would mostly get Fluttershy for help, but all she does is feed innocent creatures." She smacked her forehead with a hoof. "I can't even think of anypony to help me with these dresses! What am I going to do?!"

"Rarity?", Sweetie Belle asked from her door at her bedroom. She rubbed her temples and finished her question. "What's going on? I'm trying to sleep."

"Oh, sorry, Sweetie Belle.", Rarity said. "I'm in too much stress right now. I'm working on one dress right now and I have two more dresses to make after I finish that one. I can't be in my work room all night, I need some sleep."

"Do it in the morning then.", Sweetie Belle suggested.

"I can't!", Rarity yelled. "The dresses need to be at the boutique in Canterlot in the next two days and I want to finish them by morning!"

"Alright, but keep it down.", Sweetie Belle said, closing her door.

"Oh, I'm not so sure if I can get these done by morning.", Rarity whined.

There was a knock on the door. "Come in.", Rarity answered.

The door opened up, what peaked in was a little dead with green frills and a scaly dragon head, it was Spike. "Hello, Rarity.", he greeted.

"Oh, hello to you to, Spike.", Rarity said. "Why are you here in the middle of the night? Isn't Twilight worried about you?"

"Nah, she's not worried about me, she's fine with me staying up late.", Spike said. "And I heard you whine outside my window. What's going on with you right now?"

"I have three more dresses I need to make for my boutique in Canterlot, and they have to be there in the next two days.", Rarity worried.

"Well, you look tired right now, you should get some sleep.", Spike said.

"But, I can't go to sleep right now, I need to finish up these dresses before morning!", Rarity said.

"Rarity, calm it down.", Spike said. "Is Sweetie Belle sleeping right now?"

"Yes, and she did tell me to keep it down.", Rarity said. "I'm sorry, Spike, I'm just too stressed out."

"Tell you what, I'll spend the night here with you and I'll wake you up early in the morning, so you can finish up your dresses.", Spike said.

"Well, if that's what you want me to do, then ok, I'll go to sleep.", Rarity said, taking her fashion glasses off and putting them on my desk.

"I'll have you sleep on the couch.", Spike said.

"Oh, ok then, I guess I could do that.", Rarity said.

"I'll get you a blanket and a pillow, so you get comfortable.", Spike said.

He came to the living room with a small blanket and a white pillow filled with feathers to see that Rarity already fast asleep on her couch with one front hoof on her stomach and the other one dangling off the edge, her stomach rising and falling within her breath.

Spike chuckled and walked over to the sleeping unicorn. He hopped onto the couch and moved her front hooves to the sides of her head, so they don't get hot under the blanket while sleeping. He unfolded the blanket and put it over Rarity. He put her front hooves to her sides. He then thought of something, since Rarity's front hooves aren't under the blanket, he thought that her back hooves need some air. He went over to the lower part of her body and removed the lower part of the blanket off her back hooves. "There, Rarity doesn't want her hooves to overheat in the middle of the night.", he said, patting her left back hoof softly, trying not to give Rarity's hooves ticklish senses, but making her smile and let out a nice peaceful 'mmm'. He lifted her head, put the pillow under, and laid her head back down.

He looked back at the work that Rarity was working on earlier. He thought of a great idea that he could do for Rarity.

The next morning, Rarity wasn't up yet, she was waiting for Spike to wake her up, so that she could finish up those dresses. Spike slowly came up to Rarity, put a finger in her ear, and wiggled it as it tickled her the inside of her ear.

Rarity giggled and woke up. "Hey! Tickling my ear.", she giggled.

Spike stopped. "Good morning, Rarity.", he said.

"Good morning, Spike.", Rarity said. "So much for tickling my ear."

"Sorry, I needed to wake you up.", Spike said.

"No worries.", Rarity said. "What time is it?"

"Seven o'clock.", Spike said.

"Good timing.", Rarity said. "Looks like it's time for me to get back to... work." She widened her eyes as she looked at the five dresses she needed to make, they were already made. "Sweet Celestia, the dresses are already made. Who... who made them?"

"I did.", Spike said. He thought he would make the dresses for Rarity while she was sleeping through the night. "I thought I would make the dresses for you, so you don't get too stressed."

"You made them?", Rarity asked. "I thought you didn't know how to make dresses. You're a dragon, but- hey, who cares. And, one simple question: Did you make these all by yourself?"

"I sure did.", Spike said. "Looks like I learned something new."

Rarity wrapped her arms around Spike's body and gave him a great big hug. "Oh, thank you, Spike, you saved my career.", she said, joyfully. "I would've been better if it weren't for you. So, I think you deserve a reward, maybe a drink at Sugarcube Corner."

"Sounds good.", Spike said.

Rarity and Spike walked out the door and they headed for Sugarcube Corner.
