Old Flame And Maybe New Feelings (edited)

The sun was peaking through the window. Spike opened his eye's with a smile, as he sat up "Time to go to school" he yawned and streached.

He heard Twilight's voice from the door, "Spike, get up, its time to go to school."

"I'm already up Twilight" he yelled as he got out of bed, and headed to the bathroom to wash up. He went downstairs with a smile "Morning mom, dad, Twi."

"Morning sweetie" his mom greeted from the kitchen, as she was making breakfast.

"Morning Spike" his dad greeted while reading the news paper, with a cup of coffee.

"Here you go Spike, some pancakes" his mom set the plate on the table, Spike sat down next to Twilight as she was eating.

She asked "Wow Spike,...you sure are happy to go to school".

Spike looked at her with a smile "you know Twi,..i am for some reason".

He started to eat, he heard his dad say "really? That's the first, you use to hate mornings".

"I know dad, Spike hated school" Twilight said, she looked at Spike, and thought "if Spike doesn't run into HER, he will be fine", she continued to eat.

She heard a car horn "that's Flash, bye mom, bye dad" she turned to her brother, and asked "wanna ride Spike?"

"No thanks Twi, im gonna walk" he declined her offer.

Twilight glared, and told him "Ok, but you better be on time Spike" she opened the door and heared her father called out from the living room "Tell that punk, to keep his hands to himself".

"Night Light, dear, i thought we talked about giving Flash Sentry a chance?" He heard his wife from the kitchen.

"Hey, it's my job as a father, to protect my daughter from boys" he told his wife
"Besides, you did the same with Spike, when he brought that Diamond girl over."

As Spike finished his breakfast, he heard a knock, his dad opened the door and called out to him "Hey son, your friend is here".

Spike walked to the door, and saw that it was Apple Bloom "Hiya Spike, i was wondering if you wanna walk to school with me?" She asked with a smile.

Spike looked at his dad, who grinned, and nudged him forward. He shrugged "Sure, i don't mind."

Spike grabbed his bag, and said "bye mom, bye dad" and walked out. As they walked side by side, Spike asked, "hey Apple Bloom, how did Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo end up with Button and Rumble?"

Apple Bloom smirked "That's easy, Button lost a bet to Rumble at the Arcade, and Button had to ask out Sweetie Belle, Rumble just asked Scootaloo out with a bet he lost to her" She chuckled, remembering the face Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo made when they were asked out.

She frowned, and looked down thinking about how she felt lonely after her friends got boyfriends.

"Hey Apple Bloom, you ok", Spike snapped her out of her thoughts as she answered "of course Spike, why wouldn't i be".

Spike raised an eyebrow. "Apple Bloom can i asked you something?"

She looked at Spike "sure Spike what is it?"

"You been spending less time with Sweetie, and Scootaloo? why", Spike asked.

Apple Bloom looked away "Ever since they been dating Rumble and Button, we just hung out less, i didn't want to look like a fifth weel".

Apple Bloom didn't want to look awkward, being the only one who didn't have a boyfriend with her friends.

Spike gave her a concerned look, and hugged her as Apple Bloom jumped in surprise.

Spike told her "Well, im back now, so you don't have to feel alone anymore, if you ever feel like hanging out, and the girls can't, just come to me, ok".

Apple Bloom hugged back and said "Thanks Spike".

He pulled back, but keeped his hand's on her shoulders, Spike looked down on her, admiring her orange eye's, they heard the School bell ring, and walked to the school yard as Apple Bloom, told Spike "See you at lunch".

Spike said back "See you at lunch AB".

Spike was walking to class, but he couldn't stop thinking about Apple Bloom eye's "huh.....never knew Applebloom had such beautiful eye's" a smile grew on his face, as he entered his class and took a seat.

The teacher greeted "good morning class, today we are going to learn about ww2 history" The class groan, but Spike smiled happily, history was one of his favorite subjects.

As lunch time came around Spike got his food, and was looking for a table, untill he heard some one call his name "Spike, over here" he turned around, and saw the crusader with two boy's his age he reconized.

He walked over "Button, Rumble whats up" the boys first bump, as they asked "Spike, glad your back man, we're going to the Arcade after school, you in?" the boy named Rumble, beamed.

"Yeah, i need a challenge, and I'm sick of just kicking Rumble ass in Marvel vs Capcom 2" said a boy named Button Mash.

Rumble glared at him "you got lucky!"

Button scowft "Luck has nothing to do with it, my friend, it's all skill", He smirked.

Spike shook his head "Man, i missed you guy's" he chuckled as he sat down, and ate.

As Spike and his friends were laughing, and talking, he heard a voice he wish, he didn't hear "Well well well, if it isn't the cry baby loser" he turned around, and there stood two girls his age, he wished he didn't see again.

He glared daggers at them "What the hell do you want Diamond Tiara!" he yelled.

"Oh nothing just wanted to see the boy, that cuts himself" she smirked, and looked at her friend Silver Spoon "Was it true Silvy" she asked her friend who nodded, eventually she found out what Spikes dark secret was before he left.

Spike clench his fist as he turned back around "I don't do that no more, so leave us alone Diamond, you done enough to me".

The girl smirked "or, what? Your gonna cry? Huh? maybe cut yourself in the boys bathroom again".

Spikes friends looked at him confused, and concerned as they can see he was grabbing his wrists.

He clenched his fist, and asked in a low voice "Why..why you hurt me Tiara, i loved you, and i gave you everything" he turned around to face her, and spoke up "Why did you break up with me?"

Diamond tiara smirked, she spoke in a cruel voice "Cause you a loser, and still are...plus i never loved you" she laughed.

Untill she saw Applebloom stand up, with closed fist, and glaring at her, ready to pounce "You better get the hell outa here Diamond".

the rich girl smirked "Oh looky here Silver Spoon a little talentless orphan, sticking up for her loser of a boyfriend" she looked at Rumble and Button, and gave a flirty wink "If you boys feel like hanging out with real beautiful girls, like ourselves".

She gave a smaug look to Sweetie and Scootaloo, who was giving her death glares "Give us a call" she smirked.

Untill she heard people wispering, she turned around and saw everyone glaring at her and shaking there heads in disapproval, but she can care less.

She saw something much worse, four big sisters, walking towards her "So this was the girl that broke poor Spike's heart, and caused him so much pain" Rarity said, ready to kill.

Silver spoon hid behind her friend, the Main 6 heard everything, but Diamond stood her ground "You touch me, I'll make sure my daddy let your parents know" she smirked at Applejack "If they are still around" everyone in the whole cafeteria gasped.

Spike was in Diamonds Tiaras face in seconds, clenching his fist so tight his knuckles turned white.

"You listen, you little bitch...you can hurt me all you want...but if you talk about my friends parents like that again..i won't hesitate to do something that will get me expelled, and you a trip to the nurses office..now leave us alone".

the rich girl glared, smirked, turned around and said "You should tell your loser friends, about those scars on your wrists" she walked away.

Twilight looked at Spike, confused "Scars?...Spike, what does she mean about Scars?"

"Its nothing Twilight" he said in a shakey voice trying to calm down, as the bell rang, he walked away leaving his friends, and sister concerned.

Rainbow put a hand on Twilight's shoulder, and told her "Don't worry egghead, i have gym with him, I'll talk to him."

Spike walked into the boys bathroom, then put his head against the wall, and punched it hard enough to leave a crack, he wanted to cry to let out year's of pain "Why..why now..everthing was looking up for me".

He shut his eye's as he thought about what Diamond said you gonna cry? maybe cut youself in the boys bathroom her word echoed in his head.

Spike groaned "Your not like that no more..your not." he turned on the sink then rolled his sweater sleeves up, and washed his face try to get his mind off of her, he looked at his wrist that had cuts on them then grabbed them remembering the pain he went through.

Button, and Rumble walked in the boys bathroom, and saw Spike grabbing his wrists, Rumble asked "Hey Spike, how you get those cuts?"

Spike pulled his sleeves down and said "It's nothing guys."

He walked past Rumble, and Button, they looked at Spike concerned, and confused "You ok bro" Rumble asked as Spike sighed "Yeah...im good come on lets get to class before we're late".

As they we're walking to class Rumble asked "what class do you have next Spike?"

"Math, then gym" Spike replied with a smile, gym was one of his favorite subjects, he entered his math class, he saw he had the same class as the Crusaders with Apple Bloom in the middle row, and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo two desks over.

Spike sat between Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle as Spike asked them "geuss we got the same class, huh girls?" They nodded, as they started to chat.

As the bell rang a teacher greeted "Good afternoon class".

"Good afternoon Miss Cheerilee" the class greeted.

She started writing problems on the board, Spike was thinking "If Apple Bloom, or Twilight finds out about my cuts, they will start asking Questions, and wont let it be" the rest of the class went on solving problems as the bell rang signaling the end of class.

Next was gym, as this is Spikes favorite class, as he got to the gym lockers, he was meet with Rainbow Dash "Hey Spike, what happened at lunch? what did she mean about cutting yourself in the boys bathroom?"

Spike stopped, and looked down as he tugged on his sweater sleeve "like i said, its nothing Rainbow" he entered the boys locker room to changed into his gym shirt and shorts, and leaving Rainbow outside even more concerned, as she entered the girls locker room, she thought about what he said, and decided to talk to Twilight after School.

As he walked out, his gym couch Iron Will called "Alright maggots today we are running two miles" the students groaned, all except Rumble, Scootaloo, Rainbow and, Spike as they made there way to the track and, got in running positions.

Spike smirked, and looked at Rainbow Dash "You ready to be owned Dashie?"

They looked back at him with smirks of there own, as Rainbow answered "Bring it on Spikey-Wikey".

Rumble, and Scootaloo snickered at his nick name Rarity gave him when he was eight years old, they got ready as couch Iron Will yelled "READY.SET.GO!!" they took off but, Spike was behind jogging.

Rumble looked back, and laughed "Ha, Spike ain't that fast is he?"

As they got one mile done Rumble, Rainbow, and Scootaloo were slowing down, exhausted "I'm getting tired" as Scootaloo said this, Spike ran pass them not tired at all.

Rainbow looked on in shock of how fast he was "What the hell...how is he not tired".

Class was done Rumble and Spike walked out of the boys locker room dressed as Rumble looked at Spike "Dude when did you get fast and, how did you not get tired?"

Spike chuckled, and answered "Simple slow, and steady wins the race, and for how I got faster, i exercised when i was gone, to not think about that bitch Diamond" he said that last part through gritted teeth.

Rumble put a hand on his shoulder "Hey take it easy Spike, don't let her get to you" he smirked "besides...i think you got your eyes on Apple Bloom".

Spike glared at him "She's just a friend Rumble..besides i'm not sure if she likes me".

Rumble laughed "Man Spike, you have no idea do you?" Spike looked at him confused as Rumble walked away.

As School ended for the day Spike, Rumble, and Button, met the Crusaders at the front of the school, Sweetie belle asked "Hey guys? we we're going to head to the mall, and we were wondering if you boys like to join us".

Button sighed "We loved to Sweetie Belle, but we had plans ourselves" the girls pouted.

Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo draped there arms over there boyfriends, as Apple Bloom put a hand on Spikes cheek "Button...please for me?" Sweetie Belle pecked his cheek, Scootaloo did the same with Rumble.

All three blushed as this happened, the girls let go, and gave them a guy's kryptonite...pouting face and big pleading eye's, they gave in "Fine we're join you" the girls cheered, and high five each other, Spike interrupt them "Under one condition..how you do that?"

Apple Bloom looked at him "What do ya mean Spike", She asked confused.

"You know..girls getting guys to do what they want, by giving a pouty face, and big eyes?"

The girls giggled "Sorry boy's, thats a secret that guy's will never know".

They walked around in the mall, the boys were wishing the could die as they were carrying bag, and following the girls, "Can we stop to rest, we been walking for hours" Button wined ready to drop the bags.

Sweetie belle rolled her eye's, and told him "Fine, just don't-" BANG "-drop the bags", she sighed "Thirty minutes is all you get".

Button turned to Spike, and Rumble and said "lets check out that Game Stop".

As they walked away, Scootaloo asked "We should reward them for helping us" she turned to Apple Bloom, and saw that she was staring at Spike with half lidded eyes.

Sweetie Belle smirked "He's got a nice butt huh?"

Apple Bloom to distracted to know what she said, sighed with a smile "He sure does" her eye's went wide, as she covered her mouth blushing realizing what she said.

Her friends giggled as she try to defend "I-I wasn't checking him out".

Scootaloo nudged her, and said "you need to ask him out".

With Spike, Rumble, and Button they walked out of the Game Stop, and saw the girls talking, they decided to wait untill they were done, they sat at a bench nearby, they were watching them talking, Spike was staring at Apple Bloom with a smile.

Button caught this "Dude, you need to ask her out?"

With the girls, Scootaloo asked "You still like him huh?" Apple bloom was looking away with a blush, and rubbing her arm.

Eventually Apple Bloom had a crush on Spike, befor he met Diamond Tiara, but she was to scared to tell him.

With the guy's "Dude you are so clueless" Spike glared at Rumble.

"You know she had a crush on you before Diamond Tiara right?" Button said, as he was looking at the cover of legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild.

Spike turned to Button and asked "how do you know?"

With the girls, Sweetie Belle told her friend "Don't tell Button this but, Spike looks cuter, taller and stronger".

Apple Bloom looked at her "He does?"

Scootaloo nodded and told her "I love Rumble, but i aint afraid to tell what i think about other guy's, hell with him back, we can do things together now, maybe a triple date?" this cause Apple bloom to blush but smile a little.

Sweetie belle saw the guys walking back she asked "Hey, what game did you buy?"

Button showed Sweetie Belle the game, she smiled as she looked at it "Breath of the wild..meh Orcarina of time, and Majoras Mask is still better".

It was already dark and they were walking back home, Button walked Sweetie Belle home, the same with Rumble and Scootaloo, now it was Spike walking Apple Bloom home, as they reach her front porch, she turned around.

"Thanks for coming with us" she took the bags.

"No problem Apple Bloom, if you ever need help with anything, just let me know" they stared at each other for awile, then looked away as they couldn't say anything else.

Spike was about to leave, but froze when he felt a pair of soft warm lips on his cheek, he turned to Apple Bloom who was blushing with a smile "Bye" she walked inside.

Spike smiled as he turned around and walked home, happy that maybe thing will
be look up for him, as he got home he called out "i'm home".

Twilight entered from the kitchen "hey Spike, how was today?"

Spike answered with a smile "Bad at first, but good" he headed upstairs to his room to lay down, as he was laying down staring up at the ceiling, he thought about today Everything went ok, untill she ruined it a lunch,..but Apple Bloom made that all go away he smiled as he closed his eyes thinking about seeing Apple Bloom again, but the one thing he didnt realise, is he was falling for Apple Bloom little by little.
