Spike's Growing Pains

I thought of a twist in the story. Hope you like it.

1/7/12 - Updated with better opening and flashback.

Twilight had sent messages to her friends to come to the library for a special announcement. Soon enough, all of her friends were gathered.

"What's this about, Twi?" asked Applejack.

"Spike and I...are a couple," Twilight said. They were silent at first.

"That's sweet," Fluttershy said.

"Good for ya'll," Applejack said.

"That's Awesome," Rainbow said.

"........................beautiful," Pinkie said.

"Goody...." Rarity said, grinding her teeth as she looked really pissed off. "May I please use the restroom?"

"In my room. On the left," Twilight answered. Rarity made her way to Twilight's room. But after 10 minutes, Twilight decided that something was wrong. "Uh..Why don't you guys...mingle." She waved for them to continue and they did. She went to her room, went in and closed the door. "Rarity?" The white unicorn was crying her eyes out on Twilight's bed. "Is something wrong?" She looked up and wiped away her tears.

"I have to tell you something you should know." Twilight nodded. "I..........I.......................I.........I'm jealous, okay!" Twilight looked with confusion.

"Of me?" She pointed to herself.

"Yes YOU. Ever since Spike and I fell from when he...you know....turned back into a baby dragon..."

FLASHBACK TO Secret of My Excess:

Flashback Clip

Spike and Rarity were falling out of the sky.

"Rarity, I need to tell you something, just in case we don't make it. I've always sort of had a crush..." Rarity puts a hoof in his mouth and starts to cry. Spike just smiles.

"....I saw him in a new light. He was going to admit his feeling to me. I knew what he was going to say, but it meant so much more that he was going to say it. He wanted to spend his last moments with me..." She began to cry. "I wanted to tell him that I felt the same way. I waited until after he finished work on repairs to tell him. That is until you...said what you said. I..." She got interrupted by a hoof in her mouth.

"I'm sorry. I was just so sure that he needed somepony to keep him in line. I should have told you first." She took out her hoof from said mouth.

"What do you mean? Why would he need somepony to keep him in line?"

"He was worried about becoming a monster again. Turn's out, with help, he can become a better dragon with wings and speech. I wanted to make sure he was in good hands and that he could get in line."

"I'd be glad to keep him in check, as long as you...break it to him so I can..." Twilight raised a hoof.

"Say no more. I trust he's in good hands." She had her eyes closed, keeping a clear expression.

"So, your giving him and I a chance?" She nodded.

"THANK YOU, TWILIGHT!" She hugged Twilight with great strength and started to cry.

"Choking...not....breathing." She lets the purple unicorn go.

"Sorry.......Wait! How will you tell him?"

"I won't. You will." Rarity started to shake.

"Will you at least be in the room to make sure nothing is wrong?" Twilight nodded.

"We'll wait until the others leave to do it." Rarity nodded. They exited the room and mingled.

The other 4 had already left. Spike cleaned up most of the library. Rarity went up to Spike.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure." They walk over to the couch. Spike looked puzzled. "What about?" They sat on the couch. Rarity looks like she's about to explode if she didn't tell him.

"I love you, Spike!" Spike then faints in 2 seconds flat. "Spike.....Hello?....Oh dear." She picked him up and laid him down on the couch. He didn't move a muscle.

4 minutes later...

Spike suddenly woke up. "REALLY?" He shouted to Rarity.

"Yes. Twilight..." Suddenly, Twilight appears out of the darkness.

"I have approved of this because she wanted to tell you but I was too hasty. I wanted to keep you in line, but I now believe Rarity can do it better and love you, too. I give you 2 my best wishes." She disappears.

They go silent for a moment. They think things through.

"So, that means....." Spike gets interrupted by Rarity's lips kissing his. He legs feel like goo. He's on cloud nine and so much more. Heaven and Hell are nothing. Spike breaks the kiss, hugs her and starts to cry. "Thank you." He whispers in her ear before kissing her again.  They roll around and Twilight, now in her room looking at them through a door slightly opened, rolls her eyes. She closes the door to leave them, curled up in front of the fireplace.

Any ideas for pacing issues like scenes in between or something? Comment too please.
