When all else Fails

It was now 7 o’clock AM and Spike screaming of agony filled the library. “Carful, tender flesh your messing around with.” Sweetie Belle was trying to pull the knife out of Spike’s side. “Well, I’m sorry but it has to come out!” “Well it doesn’t have to come out.” Spike had been hiding his pain with sarcasm the entire morning and Sweetie Belle had just about enough of it. “That’s it if you don’t let me pull that knife out I’m going to shove it in even further!” Spike had a feeling that she was serious. “Okay” Spike had a hint of fear in his voice but then again who wouldn’t. “Alright? On the count of three………..one……….two………..thr-” “WAIT!..........are we going one two three go or one two three?” Sweetie Belle had a disapproving look on her face.

Just then Spike felt an excruciating pain course through his entire body. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, what…the………fuc-” Spike had passed out from exhaustion and pain. He’s so cute when he’s sleeping, whoa, where did that come from? Sweetie Belle quickly ran into the kitchen looking for a towel to soak up the blood. “Towel, towel, towel where do they keep the towels” out of the corner of her eye she saw a striped red and white towel. When she got back to Spike she had expected to see a blood stained floor and couch but they were both completely clean. She took another in-depth analysis at Spike’s wound and it was completely healed. There must be a reasonable explanation for this. She then went up to the bookshelf and started pulling out books on healing and dragon wounds, but the books left here at a dead end; although she did read an interesting fact that there’s nothing a dragon likes more than getting his ear blown on. I might have to use this sometime; why do I keep saying things like this?

Spike awoke with a fright he took a look at the clock, it read three o’clock PM. He felt were the knife had punctured him, but there was no gap there wasn’t even a scare. Spike’s eyes went wide realizing what did this to him. The stone! The last time Spike was over at Rarity’s he found a shiny red and yellow rock under her chair while trying to retrieve a role of tape that somehow found its way under it. It was covered in dust and cobwebs so she wouldn’t miss it if he ate it, right? He polished it off and ate it, but it must have been the worst tasting gem he’s ever eaten. However, ever since he ate the gem he's felt power beyond normal.

Spike tried to get up, but something heavy was on his lap. He looked down to find Sweetie Belle asleep lying across his lap. Spike slowly and carefully lifted her head up, stood up, and lowered her head making sure he didn’t wake her. “Spike, is that you?” Spike knelt down so he was face-to-face with her. “Yah it’s me, how are you feeling?” She sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. “I’m tiered, so I guess I should go home and clean up before Rarity gets home.” “Wait you can’t go home.” Spike grabbed her wrist before she was about to leave. Sweetie Belle was surprised by his reaction to her wanting to go home. “Why can’t I?” Spike was even confused at his reaction he didn’t know what to say next. “Well, they know what you look like, they know where you live, what if their waiting for you to go back……I-I think it would be best if you stayed here until Rarity comes back.” Spike was now blushing at the fact that a girl might be staying with him. Spike was a little bit of a nerd he played video games, he watched cartoons, and he listened to music that most people would not approve of Sweetie Belle knew about all of this, but friend or not Sweetie Belle was still a girl and Spike was still a nerd. What Spike didn’t notice was that Sweetie Belle was also blushing. “Well, if you think that’s best.” She was very excited that she would be spending the next three days with Spike all alone as much as she didn’t want to admit it she had a crush……..and on Spike no less.

Spike took a look at the clock it read ten o’clock. Spike was sitting on the couch while Sweetie Belle was upstairs brushing her hair. Only four hours until the end of the day what can we do. “Hey Sweetie Belle want to watch a movie?” “Uh….sure hold on” Sweetie Belle came down the stairs looking different then she normally does, but he couldn’t put his claw on it. Sweetie Belle had here hair in a ponytail and was wearing glasses. Spike couldn’t help but stare at her “wow” was the only word he could manage to say. Sweetie look away in embarrassment “I know I’m a mess” Spike felt guilty making her think there was something wrong with her. “No there’s nothing wrong with the way you look; after all natural beauty is real hard to find and you got it.” Spike’s palm came up to his forehead to give it a smack. Did I really just say that? That was the cheesiest thing I’ve ever said. Sweetie Belle turned away only to blush.

Sweetie Belle had chosen the movie and of course she chooses the most romantic sounding movie they had “Just for Your”. About halfway through the movie Sweetie Belle found herself in Spikes arms. She looked up at Spike and smiled even though he didn’t see her. By the end of the movie Spike felt as though he was about to pass out. That was the most boring movie ever…of all time…for the history of forever. He looked down to see Sweetie Belle again asleep across his lap. He lifted her head up super careful not to wake her up this time. He picked her up into his arms and headed up the steps. Sweetie Belle woke up on the trip up the stairs, but decided to stay quiet. She heard the wiggle of a door knob and Spike mumbling, something about a stupid spell. She got lowered onto a very soft bed which she could only assume was Spike’s.

“Goodnight Sweetie Belle.” She was about to say goodnight back when she felt Spike kiss her forehead, thank Luna that it was dark or else Spike would’ve seen her turn a shade a strawberry red. She heard the door close and she felt the spot that had been kissed; she felt as if she were flying. She went to the door and looked over the railing into the living room to find Spike setting up to go to bed on the couch under the same red and white striped towel that she got for him. “Goodnight Spike see you tomorrow.” She said to herself as she closed the door with the biggest smile she would possibly ever have.
