Spike yawned as he looked threw the semi-ruined Power ponies comic he had removed from his bag, the corners where all messed up but it was still readable, Spike had read it to death during the train to the games, back from the games, and in the room, he was about half way threw when Harshwhinny knocked and made him jump a little.

"You can come out now," Spike got up and met her at the door, Harshwhinny was the most excited he'd seen her in a while and he suddenly felt bad.

"I'm still in my PJ's aren't I?" he ask self consciously as he pulled at the collar of his shirt, "I have nothing even remotely fancy in either of my bags," Spike groaned and face palmed himself, Harshwhinny took hold of the arm and pulled it away from his face, bringing the hand to hers and grasping it, Spike looked her in the eyes and she smiled at him.

"I think you look lovely," She said sweetly, the unusual tone of voice make Spike shiver a little

"Your just saying that to make me feel better," Spike replied with a chuckle "And it's completely worked,"

"I can be just as sweet as I can be harsh," She said as she lead him out of the room and towards the stairs, "I'm just naturally a little bitter is all,"

"I don't know I bet you taste pretty sweet too me." Spike quipped earning him a warning glare. " What you set yourself up for that." With a sigh Harshwhinny relented.

"Fair enough but do try and keep that humor down to a minimum I don't want that in in front of company or in public." She then gave her famous no talk balk glare. "Am I clear." With a audible gulp Spike gave two thumbs up.

"Crystal."

"Good," Harshwhinny said in her normal business like tone "because we actually do have company" Spike blinked.

"Who would be crazy enough to come to your house in the middle of a storm like this?" Spike's question was answered immediately.

"Simple, they just have to be smart enough to fly above it," Spike looked over to the familiar voice and Found the culprit.

"Rainbow," He cheered as Rainbow Dash waved as him, She walked over to him and gave him a mighty pat on the pack, which he returned.

"You didn't think you'd avoid me forever did ya?" She asked with a smile.

"I was gonna say hi at the games, but it was surprisingly hard to find you," Rainbow shrugged.

"Eh, Fan club was acting crazy, had to go undercover when I wasn't on the field," She looked over at Harshwhinny and gave an evil grin, "So Spike did you finally ask her out, or did she finally ask you out," The two looked at her for a moment and she laughed "Pinkie made me Pinkie promise not to tell either of you about the other's crush, said it'd spoil the fun," Rainbow shrugged and Spike sighed.

"I suppose I can understand that," he said with a shrug.

"Well I would have liked a heads up," Harshwhinny said Irritably as she made her way to the kitchen.

"What do you see in her?" Rainbow asked in confusion.

"What can I say?" Spike asked with a shrug "She's so serious and hard to make happy, each smile from her just makes me all tingly," Rainbow sighed.

"well I've delivered on my side of the deal," She headed to the door "Tell Harshwhinny we even," the two waved goodbye and Rainbow headed into the storm, Spike waved until the door shut and turned to where Harshwhinny had gone, he saw a light in the kitchen and made his way there, he found Harshwhinny had set up the table once more, this time with a special Dinner, A Pizza lay on the table, on half was plan cheese, the other half had sapphires in it.

"My Favorite!" Spike cheered as soon as he set his eyes on it. Harshwhinny smiled as she took her seat.

"It's a little cold, but luckily Rainbow shielded it from most of the rain." Harshwhinny pulled a chair next to her and patted it, Spike took the invitation and looked at her with a smile to match hers.

"You know what the most amazing part of this is?" He asked.

"What?"

"I've seen you smile for tonight that I have the entire time I've known you," Spike chuckled as her cheeks turned red. "You have to most alluring smile, It's an even better treat than this pizza, and this pizza is one heck of treat!" Harshwhinny looked away from him for a moment.

"Come on now Spike, your making me blush,"

"Oh well I can stop if you..." She turned on the spot and looked him square in the eye.

"Oh absolutely not, you know how rare it is that I get a compliment,"

"I've seen tons of ponies compliment you," Spike replied as he took a slice, Harshwhinny doing the same.

"Oh yeah, they do everything in their power to try and butter me up so I'll pick their town as host of the games, or so I'll pick them over the others caterers, or so I'll select them as team captain for Canterlot's winter wrap up," She sighed as she took a bite, she looked over at Spike, who had gotten the gist of what she was saying, she swallowed her bite and finished "Your the only one who ever compliments me purely so you can make me smile," Spike swallowed his bite and replied simply.

"I know I'm milking this to death, but making you happy is the best part of my day, even if I usually only get a smile out of you every few weeks, that smile means more to me than anything else," Harshwhinny sighed as she set her piece down and looked him in the eye with a serious face, "To sappy?" he asked as he made to get another slice, Harshwhinny suddenly threw her arms around his neck and made him face her, his face matched her's in redness as she pulled him so close her snout was almost touching hers.

"I can think of something that'll mean more to you," She said softly before pushing forward, her lips pressed into his and he went bright red, he was lost for a moment before following her lead, he put her hands behind her neck and pushed back, his tongue licked at her lips and her's happily met his in the middle, his longer tongue wrapped around hers and snaked it's way into her mouth, a moan escaped from Harshwhinny as he explored the inside of her mouth, after a moment they pulled apart, Spikes tongue lingered and she sucked on it for a moment before it came out with a small pop. a thin trail of saliva branched between them, the looked at each other for a long silent moment.

"Put the Pizza in the fridge," She said calmly, Spike closed the box and put it in on the bottom shelf, Harshwhinny held up her hands in her chair and Spike picked her up, she put her hands around his neck and whispered in his ear.

"Take me to my room, I've just thought of a few more things that'll mean a hell of a lot more than a smile,"
