Spike's depression

Spike never thought this day would come, the day he would use to earn the love of his life. It wasn't hearts and hooves day, no it was the spring dance that was coming the next day. He worked very hard on looking as good as he could ever be. He wore a fancy bowtie, a nice tuxedo, and a top hat, even brought flowers. Once he got to Rarity's house he knocks on the door and waits patiently. Sweetie Belle answers and opens the door slowly.

"Spike? What brings you here?"
"Where's Rarity?"

"She's in her fashion room."
"Ok." Spike goes past the door to see Rarity has somepony else there.

"Oh Blueblood... How could I ever treat you like this... Who am I to blame?" Quoted Rarity
"Rarity. I know we came to a rough start, but now we start out fresh."

"There are some amazing things you must try. Some of which are quite fancy."
"I never thought apples could be filled with such nutritional value." Rarity moves closer to Blueblood making Spike drop the flowers. She turns her head noticing Spike standing there with some tears starting to come.

"Why are you doing this?" Said Spike.
"Spike. What are you even talking about?"

"I thought you and Blueblood were never coming together again!"
"I still like you Spike."

"How can I ever believe you after seeing you with somepony else that ruined your special night."
"There may have been some bumps, but it's better to forgive."

"Well you can forget about me!"
"Spike, please settle down. This is not something to be mad about."

"Yeah it is!"
"I know you are a great friend, but you know we can't be together. Right?"
Spike breathes fire onto the flowers he picked and tears apart some of her works in progress making Rarity upset. Filled with large amounts of anger, he slams the door so hard, her cat goes crazy and creates an even bigger mess. Spike stomps on the ground on his way back causing a little riot when somepony tries to talk to him. In a response of anger he roars with a mean look scaring off many. Twilight's cutie mark begins to glow and she hurries to the map where she see's Ponyville and gets close to the main doors before Spike opens one of them.

"Spike?"
"What Twilight?"

"What is going on? Is anypony having issues with each other?"
"Nope, everything is fine!" Spike said sarcastically.

"Wait! Please tell me what's going on."
"Nothing! Leave me alone!" Shocked by the attitude given directly, she begins to worry about his mental status.

"Spike, why are you upset?"
"Cause Rarity prefers somepony more "fancy"."

"She would never leave you behind."
"Oh yeah! Where's your date?"

"I do not have one."
"I thought you love that one stallion who was so cool!"

"Please settle down. This is going too far."
"How come nopony wants to go on a date with you, even though you're the princess of friendship?!" Shocked by such words, a few tears roll down her eyes.

"Why are you saying this?" Starlight walks in with a confused look on her face.
"What's going on here?"

"I don't know what's really gotten into Spike, but he might be reaching a point in life where frequent mood swings are more common."
Spike decides to pack his stuff and walks out of the castle never turning back to even give somepony a second chance. On the streets of Ponyville, Blueblood see's him and Spike stops.

"Why did you turn her against me?!" Asked Spike.
"You have done that yourself!"

"You are nothing but a traitor! You stole her from me!"
"Your anger and lust for her have already turned you into a merciless being! You have allowed yourself to fall upon your own desires. Until now you did something very wrong and I will not let it slide!"

"Don't lecture me bloody murderer! I see the lies you were full of! I have brought peace to everypony in the Crystal Empire! All you brought upon her is sorrow!"
"She is not your special somepony. She and I are meant to be."

"Then if your not with me, then you're my enemy!" Spike jumps onto Blueblood and begins punching him with his fists leaving a few bruises on his face. Blueblood picks him up with his magic and moves him away before he could throw more on him. Before Spike could attack once more, Rarity jumps in between before she is scratched a bit by his claws leaving a mark. Shocked by his actions, he runs off to his old home, the treehouse, burned down from a battle of the past. In his state of anger, he see's Rarity and Blueblood together while he lays in the shadows of despair with tears coming down as they were together. Soon he has a vison of them having a family and enjoying a luxury life of happiness. Realizing the damage he done, he runs to the woods where nopony else could find him, no more friends, no Celestia, and even no gems to eat. All he had for himself was a blanket, a pillow, some snacks, and his walking stick. Wandering lonely in the forest, he see's a rabbit come by, but refuses to interact with it. Never wanting to turn back, he see's somepony in the distance sleeping with his hat over his eyes. He had dirty brown hair, a torn up jacket, and a long beard, plus somewhat rotten teeth. Spike tries to avoid making contact until a eagle screeching startles the stallion.

"Huh, what! Who goes there?!" Spike falls down in fear seeing the reaction to a normal sound. The wanderer looks down to see somebody unique came by.

"What in the hay are you doing here?"
"Well I ran away."

"Ran away? Why in the world would you do that?"
"I was rejected."

"Nah phooey. I dealt with worst things."
"Probably not as bad as me."

"Oh it was bad. First I sent to 10 years prison for a crime I didn't commit, then I found a way out through a tunnel that somepony else dig through without getting noticed. Once I escaped prison, I found a rotting corpse that had some clothes I could wear to hide well, but I never wanted anypony to see my face for as long as I live. Now I live in the woods with nothin to eat except fruits and vegetables, and I can't have any perfect water except by the waterfall, so all I have now is a poor life."
"Well I should get going."

"No way kid, you can't be out here in the wilderness without shelter, there's dangerous creatures ready to attack at any moment."
"I can survive. I'm a dragon."

"Dragon or not, you won't make it far if you go further."
"Why should I worry?" Spike scoffed. He walks further down the trail where he finds a cave all empty and devoid of life. For the night he writes in his journal.

Day 1: Life could never be the same. First somepony triggers Rarity one night, next thing you know, It all comes crashing down when that one stallion returns for love. Running away was the only thing I could do to rid of this pain, but I question myself if it was the right choice... Nah, I don't need advice, I can live on my own.
