"I'm sure you just have a little cold" Rarity said to a shivering Spike as she used her magic to slowly dress Spike in a scarf, a Big hat, and a huge Blanket, she had made them all for him during the Winter months and always made new ones every year, not that he ever remembered, but still, her big old Spikey-Wikey deserved the best, as he had always helped her in her time of need, she would never forgive herself if Spike got sick simply because of something she could easily prevent.

"Are you warm now?" she asked sweetly, Spike opened his eyes and looked at her, he was still shivering, and it seemed to be getting worse, Rarity turned back around and looked around room, then she saw them, in a small pile, where the blankets of the past, she used as many as she could to cover Spike, but once three of them where on him Spike moved in a flash and had torn off all the blankets

"N..no I D..d..don't wa..want them" he struggled to say, as he tore off both the hat and the scarf and lay back down "I...It....its.....its time" he struggled to say "I.....its so....so c.c.c.c.co..old, I Ju...ju...just want to go ba...ba...back ou....out...outside" he looked at Rarity, his body was failing him, but for the first time in thousands of years his mind wasn't "I..I...I wa..want to....to spe....spend my last.....last moments....u...u...und....under...the....the....the sun...with my.....fr..fr...friends" he finished, struggling to breathe, Rarity approached her friend and tried to touch him, but jumped back, his scales where freezing, some of them actually had frost developing on them, his time was up, his fire had finally died, he had only a few minutes left, before he too left. Rarity, mustering all her might Surrounded herself and Spike in a magical aura, and with a large Flash, they were teleported out of the cave and into the castle Courtyard, His entire Body took up the Crystal castles lawn, wrapping around the entire exterior, and the nearby town panicked, but Spike just looked in awe at the setting sun, and tears came out of his eye's freezing before they left his head.

"It’s...it’s...it’s Beu...beautiful," He said as his voice began failing him, "Thank you Rar..." he stopped and Rarity turned and looked at him, and as she looked at him she broke down into tears. Spike was looking at sunset with such joy in his eyes, but his eyes were dark, his life force had left him. Spike the Dragons time had finally come.

"Your welcome...my little Spikey...Wikey" Rarity choked out as she magically shut his eyes.
