1 MONTH LATER

It’s been almost a month since Spike’s fight against the Diamond Dogs, and a month since he was appointed student council president.

You might think Spike has been enjoying himself, taking into consideration that thanks to him the crime in the city had gone down 70%, and also created a new group of vigilantes with the Diamond dogs, not to mention that his decisions as student council president had made life in the academy much better for students and teachers alike. But… YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!!!

Spike has actually been neck-deep in paperwork with the student council, he has also been extremely busy with Jacob and Evie, giving them instructions, and forcing them back into the academy… which was harder than you think… especially with Jacob. But, after a week of forcing, he accepted to return to his 4th year.

Also, Spike has had a difficult time avoiding Sunset Shimmer’s sexual advances every time they are alone in the student council office. Rarity’s invitations to her boutique to “help her” with “modeling” for new dresses. And especially Gabby’s rape attempts, which he still doesn’t know if she does it on purpose or she’s just messing with his sanity. And for his surprise, Moondancer, Twilight, and even Fluttershy were making advances towards him.

From all of these situations involving the girls, Spike just couldn’t bring himself to take Twilight’s advances seriously, they seemed real but empty, at least in his mind. Yet Spike became really terrified of Fluttershy, who was becoming a bit… different from the cute, shy girl he met a month ago.

Nonetheless, the time had come. The Special Ops exams were here… well, they were tomorrow, Friday, Nov, 12.

NEXT MORNING, DRAKE RESIDENCE 6 AM

“WAKE UP SPIKE… YOU’LL BE LATE FOR THE EXAMS!!!!” Came Peewee’s voice. The shock scared Spike and made him fall off the bed.

“I don’t know what is worse: my alarm clock, my biological clock or you, for the wake-up service,” Spike said getting up from the ground.

“Hehehe, sorry,” Peewee said

“No, you’re not,” Spike said heading towards his shower

“True, that,” Peewee said flight towards the kitchen

“Hey, one question, how the hell did you enter my room? I never gave you the combination for the lock,” Spike said popping his head out of the door.

“Your lock is busted, I just sat on the handle and voila, open,” Peewee said flying away

“Oh, I must remember to fix that soon,” Spike said as he went to take a shower.

10 MINUTES LATER

“Alright then, what do you want for breakfast, Peewee?”

“Some nuts and cashews, please,” Peewee said as he landed on the counter next to Spike.

“You like these things right?” Spike said.

“Yeah, they are tasty and healthy,” Peewee answered as Spike gave him a bowl full of nuts and cashews.

“So, are you excited about the exams?” Peewee asked

“Yeah, But I don’t have to trust myself they might be hard,” Spike said, taking another spoonful of his cheerio’s cereal.

“You’ll be fine, just trust yourself,” Peewee said

7:30 AM, ACADEMY GROUNDS

Spike drove in and parked his car in his designated parking space.

He got out and saw many students, most of them were here to partake on the exams, he looked around and spotted many known cars and motorcycles, like Flash’s Chevrolet Camaro, RD’s blue Yamaha YZF-R3, AJ’s and Big Mac’s Red and Black RAM 1500 (Till this day Spike has no idea why the 2 of them have the same model of truck, but never cared enough to ask) and of course Soarin’s Kawasaki ZX-6R.

Then he saw a Hyundai Tucson van pull over, and out of it came Twilight, Fluttershy, Sunset Shimmer and Moondancer. Twilight turned and said something to the driver, then said goodbye and the van started to move forward, just before the van left it came towards Spike’s mustang and stopped.

“I see, Twilight was saying the truth, you have returned, but makes me wonder why you haven’t come to visit us,” Said the driver

“Hi Shining, how are you doing? This your new ride?” Spike said

“What! No, this is Cadence car, I’m just borrowing it for the time being since the Hummer is way too flashy, plus…” Shining armor started.

“It makes it easier to carry Flurry heart around, and gives Cadance the typical Soccer Mom vibe she always wanted, I know,” Spike said

“How do you know of Flurry and me and Cadence?” asked Shining surprised.

“I was the ring boy at your wedding, remember? As for Flurry, my mom went to the baby shower and was with you when Cadance gave birth.” Spike said

“Oh, yeah, hahaha, Well see you around Spike… and please come to visit, I bet Flurry would love to meet her uncle,” Shining said, winking his eye.

“Shining, Twilight and I are not an item, and you know it,” Spike said seriously

“Yeah, I know but I still see you like family, that’s why I said it, anyway, see you, Spike,” Shining said as he drove away.

“Lucky…” Came a whisper from behind Spike, yet Spike didn’t understand it.

“Oh, Flash, morning,” Spike said, turning around.

“Morning Bro, ready for the exams?” Flash said.

“Yup, I think,” Spike said.

“Morning you guys,” Soarin's voice as he walked up to the 2.

“Well, What do you guys think about today?” Soarin said

Spike was about to answer when they heard the honk of a car, they turned and saw a 2020 Honda Odyssey coming towards them.

“Morning Guys!” said Cheese sandwich from the driver’s side window.

“HELLOOOOOOOOOO” Came Pinkie’s voice from the other side.

“Pinkie, Cheese, Good morning,” Said Flash.

“Nice ride, you guys seem ready for the next step,” Soarin said.

“What step?” asked Cheese.

“Getting a Baby seat, you dumb ass!” Soarin said, making both Pinkie and Cheese red, good thing Cheese had already parked the car.

“I’ll go and look for the girls, bye babe,” Pinkie said giving Cheese a quick kiss on the lips and running away.

“That was the first time I have ever seen Pinkie so quiet,” Said Spike.

“I know, it felt… weird,” Flash also added.

“Guys please, don’t bring baby talk up when she is around. She is dead serious about starting a family and honestly, I think she may be thinking about raping me when I’m sleeping,” Cheese said.

“I don’t see how that can happen, I mean, yeah Pinkie is Hyper, more than humanly possible but, rape, I just don’t think that can happen. Plus if she rapes you, It won’t really count as she IS your FIANCEE, right?” Spike said.

“Thanks for the support, Spike,” Cheese said.

“Your welcome,” Spike said as he and the others walked into the school.

SOMETIME LATER, IN THE HALLWAYS

“And so, that’s my strategy to Ace this test,” Finished Soarin.

“It’s too… flawed,” said Flash "you have to be a bit more…” Flash started

“Guys is it just me or do you hear what I’m hearing?” asked Spike as the group heard a song they knew too well in the distance.

“I can’t believe it, that sounds like one of our old songs,” Said Flash.

“Well, come on let’s see who’s playing it.” said Cheese

As the group started walking, the song got louder and louder, until they turned a corner, just as the song ended, and heard a very familiar voice say.

“Oh, I just love Sentry Flame so much.”

“I must admit they sound really nice, their rhythm is so catchy, yet, you surprise me Rainbow dash, this is very mellow for what you usually listen to,” said a voice identified as Sunset Shimmer.

“This band got me into music 100%, I just can’t believe they broke up, first the lead guitarist left, this was back in 2016 and a year later the band disbanded, I wish they would’ve had a live show,” Came RD’s voice again.

“Well we have had 2 live shows as professionals, and it quite hard work,” AJ said

“Yeah, but these guys were awesome, and their songs were really nice for when you are filling bored,” RD said, earning a nod from the other girls that were present.
“Oh, let me play you my favorite song,” RD said

“Ok, I loved that song, I’m adding it to my playlist.” Said Sunset Shimmer.

All the other girls nodded in approval after hearing the catchy tune.

“Ha, you see they were awesome! I wonder where these guys went?” RD said getting a poster of Sentry Flame out of her locker and showing it to her friends.

“Don’t you think they look familiar?” said Twilight as she and the group started to look more carefully at the poster.

“Morning all,” Soarin said as he and the rest of the guys caught up to the girls

After everyone said their good morning’s Cheese asked.

“What are you doing?"

“Well, we were listening to a band that RD loves…” Fluttershy started.

“And then Twilight said that she finds the members of the band familiar,” continued Moondancer.

“What do you guys think?” said Starlight.

RD turned and was about to give them the poster when she realized that the guys were standing in the same fashion as the members of Sentry Flame.

Then she got in front of the girls and lifted the poster and covered the guys, then removed it, and then covered them with the poster again. She repeated this movement for a few more seconds and then the realization hit her and the girls.

“IT WAS YOU!!!! YOU GUYS WERE SENTRY FLAME!!!” RD half said half screamed.

“Oh, fuck she knows of our old band’s channel,” Said Soarin

“Elementary my dear friend,” Cheese said

“Oh My God, I always wanted to meet you in person and… and...:” RD said

“And we have been your classmates for over 4 years and still haven't figured it out,” Said Flash earning a shy smile from RD.

“Oh, that reminds me, Spike, Why did you leave the band?” RD asked

“I was member from 2013 towards the end of 2015, but then I moved back to Vanhoover, so,” Spike said

“That makes sense.” RD said

“And then you joined Over my head, right?” Said Sunset Shimmer

“I wouldn’t say I joined since I was recruited by Evan, the lead vocalist, and his brother Matt, the drummer, but I was never a member, in their eyes. I was just a session artist, not a real member, and apparently it was the same for the other guys since now it’s a family band. Troy, the bass guitarist, and Mike the other guitarist quit the band recently and were replaced by Evan and Matt’s cousins so that’s a band for you.” Spike said

“Anyway, why did you guys never have a concert?” asked RD

“We never really wanted to go on tour.” Flash said

“Oh, ok then,” said RD.

“Attention Students, please report to the auditorium as soon as possible for an important assembly.” Came the voice of the academy’s secretary over the loudspeaker.

“What now?” asked Spike, while everyone walked towards the auditorium.

AUDITORIUM 11:00 AM

“Good morning students, I know I said that the last assembly was going to be it, but this assembly is going to be special, particularly this assembly is to let all the students who are going to participate in the exams, to get ready since at Noon O’clock I will open a portal to the training grounds, and what I mean is Those girls at the back who I know are going to participate, please change into sporting attire, for your own safety,” Discord said

Everyone turned and spotted the girls Discord was talking about, it was The Dazzlings, some other stuck up girls, the academy Gal group, and none other than Rarity who was wearing a very stylish dress.

At the sight of this Spike just facepalmed.

“Oh, one last thing, this year’s homecoming party will be held on the 1 of March, that means that it will be celebrated at the same time than the Gala so… you better start working hard on getting a date, or at least a good dress or tuxedo. Without anything else, you are now dismissed… Oh, wait, those students participating in the exams, after you are done you can have the rest of the day free. See you Monday.” Discord said disappearing out of sight.

“Cool, the Gala and Homecoming on the same day, now that is planning I like.” said Flash

“Sooo, Spike, thought of anyone to take to the Gala/Homecoming?” asked Rarity

“You better stay 6 feet away from my precious scales you horny normie, Spike is mine and only mine.” Said Fluttershy a bit louder than a whisper with a very scary face.

“What was that darling I didn’t hear you?” Said Rarity not realizing what Fluttershy had just said.

“Uhm… nothing.” Fluttershy smiled warmly, looking at Spike, yet her smile made him shiver in discomfort… or for a lack of a better word… FEAR.

“Well, Spike, who are you taking?” asked Fluttershy, still having that scary face

“No one,” Spike answered, earning a look from most of the girls present.

“Oh, I see you are waiting for the girl to ask, type of guy, smart.” said Sunset.

“No, I’m not taking anyone simply because I’m not going.” Spike said.

That sentence felt like ice-cold water on the girls.

“Why not Spike?" Asked Starlight.

"I don’t like parties or Galas they’re kind of boring, plus I don’t know how nor like to dance. Well, I’ll see you at the portal, see ya,” Said Spike walking away in a cool manner.

“I can’t believe that, who doesn’t like parties?!” screamed Pinkie Pie.

“It’s not the whole truth, es Spike doesn’t like parties, nor know how to dance, but the real reason he doesn’t like parties is because he hates being the center of attention. That and the fact that there is always some random bimbo present trying to rape Spike.” Moondancer said

“Oh, well maybe he’ll have a change of heart.” RD said

“Don’t think so, sugar cube, Spike looked mighty confident he ain’t gonna be present at the Gala,” AJ said walking away.

“The amount of personal knowledge that girl has on my Spike is dangerous, good thing she looks like the airheaded nerdy type, I must keep her away from my precious scales,” Fluttershy said in her head looking at Moondancer.

NOON O’CLOCK, ACADEMY SOCCER FIELD

After lunch, many students gathered on the Academy’s stadium waiting for Discord to send them to their exam grounds.

“Alright, students, WOW, I wasn’t expecting this turn-up,” Said Discord while seeing the crowd of students which, from the 50K students, about 1 thousand where present.

“This is the biggest turn up in the past 10 years, anyway, I wish you all good luck,” Said Discord opening the portal and 1 by 1 the students crossed to what seemed to be a massive facility.

TRAINING GROUNDS

“Hello and Welcome to your training grounds; I am Major General Sam Fisher, but you can just call me Major Deepblue. So, now that introductions are out of the way, in front of you you will see, 3 screens. They contain information in your selective exams, please read carefully and place your name in the list, oh and no nicknames. Then go to Sergeant Aran, she will place you in groups and make you enter the tests, now any questions?” asked Major Deepblue.

“Sir, they said there were going to be a maximum of 5 tests?” Soarin said.

“Well to join the special ops it's a requirement to pass the physical and Knowledge exams, or at least one of them and 2 electives, which you must choose, those can be Magika, Medical or managerial n the magika you will prove if you’re good enough for either air combat, magic warfare and/or spy work; in the medical, you will prove and show your abilities to keep your cool in the battlefield when there are massive amounts of injuries; and on the Managerial you will prove your ability to come up with battle-winning strategies. Now after your results are tallied up, you will be awarded a military rank that might go from Private to General, but don’t get your hopes up anyone, and I mean no one is going to be ranked a general. If that was the case what is the point of coming to this academy; now without further ado, please get ready.” Major Deepblue finished

“I’m going for all of them.” Flash said.

“Me too,” Said Spike, Soarin, Big Mac, Sunset and RD

“Goodluck guys,” Spike said, getting into position, and with that everyone wished everyone good luck and did the same.

TRAINING GROUNDS 3 HOURS LATER

“Congratulations, all of you managed to pass the required amount of credits to join the Special ops. Now before we give you your ranks, please know that if you don’t like them or want a promotion, there will be a re-testing every 6 months and so, let’s continue.” said Major Deepblue.

MAINLAND, CANTERLOT ACADEMY.

“Welcome back, and congratulations to all of you, I was just informed of your success during the exams, now I know you want to join the groups as soon as possible but remember, you must wait until January 1st to be officiated, now go on and celebrate, you have earned it, but not too much.” Discord said as he walked away

“Wooooooohoooooo, Let’s party” screamed Pinkie

“Oh, that reminds me, why don’t y’all come down to Sweet Apple Acres tomorrow, Granny Smith was gonna hold a party for our Ma and Pa coming back from Manehattan, after 5 years of creatin’ a successful empire of Apple cider and Jam.” AJ said.

“That’s all the way down in Ponyville, AJ. Plus, it’s kind of last-minute, don’t you think it’s imposing a tad much on your grandma?” Said Sunset with concern on her voice.

“Nonsense, Granny loves cookin’ more than normal folk, plus if we tell’er that we’re bringing more mouths down-home, she’ll be delighted. I’ll just call her. Oh and your families’re also invited.” Big Mac said.

“Well if you guys insist.” Twilight said.

“Oh, and Spike you’re comin’, and I won’t take no for an answer.” AJ said, earning a look from Spike.

“You heard Ma sister Spike, you must go, it is also impolite on granny, not to mention its a must from you, you’re an honorary apple, after all.” Big Mac said, making everyone look at Spike in surprise.

“Yaaaaaaay, a new family member!” Pinkie said hugging Spike really tight.

“Argh, fine, I’ll… be there… You can let go now Pinkie.” Said Spike trying to break free form Pinkie’s bear hug.

“Well then everybody get ready, the party starts tomorrow at noon, see you there.” Said Big Mac as he and AJ walked towards their trucks.

“Why do they have 2 trucks instead of sharing the ride?” asked Soarin.

“Well, Mac doesn’t want to share the truck with AJ, and they also thought that having 2 trucks would save work in the farm.” Caramel explained, earning a look from everyone. “What? I worked on their farm for the summer, and harvest season as well.”

And with that everyone said their goodbyes and left home to get ready for the party, all except for Rarity and Spike.

Rarity was on the phone, wearing a very sad expression on her face. Spike took notice of this and waited for her to finish her phone call.

“Something wrong?” asked Spike as soon as Rarity hung up the phone.

“No, why do you ask?” Rarity answered.

“Cause your pretty face only looked like this when Blueblood made you look like a fool, plus after a month of knowing you, I think I can read your emotions,” Spike said.

“Argh, fine, It’s my boutique, there is trouble with it. I was talking with my dad on the phone over it, and, not only is this a massive blow for me, but I also live in the same building, and now I must head back there and try to fix it.” Rarity explained.

“Where is this shop of yours?” asked Spike.

“Ponyville.” answered Rarity.

“PONYVILLE! That is a long way from here, a 2-hour drive to be precise.” Spike said.

“Yeah, but that’s why we have cars, am I right my dear? Anyway, I must head there right this instant.” Rarity said.

“I’ll go with you, well not WITH you, but I’ll follow you in my car, maybe I can help.” said Spike.

“Oh, Darling you are just a true Gentleman, no wonder I fell in love with you.” Rarity said, the last part almost a whisper, but headphone-wearing Spike didn’t hear the last part.

With that Spike and Rarity walked to the parking lot, Spike accompanied Rarity to her car a white Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (WK2), 2013.

“That’s one beautiful car!” Spike said

“Oh, thank you, Spike, it was a present from my dad for when I opened my boutique,” Rarity said getting in and starting the engine.

“Wait for me at the entrance. I'm on the Green and Purple striped Shelby mustang, ok?” said Spike rushing to his car.

PONYVILLE, 2 HOURS AND 5 MINUTES LATER

Rarity and Spike parked their cars outside a very elegant looking building, which resembled a carousel.

“Here we are darling,” Rarity said, getting out and walking to the front door of the building with Spike close behind.

“Welcome, to Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic, unique and Magnifique,” Rarity exclaimed.

“Ok, that’s catchy, now what is the problem?” Spike asked

“Allow me to explain young man,” came a male voice from behind Spike and Rarity

“Hi, Mom and Dad,” Rarity said

“How’s my little girl doing?” asked Rarity’s mom

“And who is this fine specimen of a man? Asked Rarity’s dad

“That just sounded wrong in so many ways,” Said Spike in his head

“Oh, Mom, Dad, Meet my Friend Shane Drake or as we call him Spike. Spike this are my parents Harold Faison and Beatriz Faison,” Rarity introduced them

“Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Faison,” Spike said while shaking their hands

“Oh, please call me Magnum,” said Rarity’s father

“And you may call me Betty,” said Rarity’s mother

“Then feel free to call me Spike,”

“Well now that introductions are out of the way, let’s talk business,” said Magnum

“What’s the problem dad?” asked Rarity

“Well you see honey, both you and your sister Savannah are growing up, and well you are now going to a very important academy all the way in Canterlot, and your sister going to a boarding school in San Coltsisco, and the fact that we are moving to Fillydelphia, we were thinking it’s better for you to close this shop and concentrating only on your studies,” Magnus finished

After saying that Rarity went pale, of course, she knew that this was going to be an issue in the future but she didn’t expect it to happen now.

“Honey I know it’s a hard decision to make but, think of it this way, you live way too far from the Academy and driving for 2 hours is quite a problem since you have to wake up at 4 am to get ready, plus you sometimes work until around 2 AM on dresses all by yourself, it’s not healthy,” Rarity’s mom said

Rarity was now crying quietly

Spike couldn’t stand to see her like that, and, although knowing he shouldn’t get involved, he just said.

“What’s not healthy is letting go of your dreams, this makes Rares happy, so don’t just go and tell her to quit, but look for another solution, 4 heads are better than 1, not to mention, how would you feel if you had to give up what you loved?” Spike asked

“For someone so young to be this wise, and upfront with reality, you are something else,” Magnus said

“So Spike what do you think we should do?” Betty asked

Spike thought for a good minute

“Have you thought of hiring seamstresses?” Asked Spike

“I see what you are doing Spike, but if we do we are going to have to search for them, and then come up with a payment plan for them, not to mention this store is still not extremely popular,” Magnus said

“My father is right Spike, I thank you for trying to help but I think it’s for the best,” Rarity said with a very sad tone.

Spike was not willing to give up, and then he remembered something and grabbed his phone, and dialed a number.

“Hello, Yuki... I’m fine… yes… yes, I will try to make it back home this time for the holidays… yes listen, I was calling you to see if you were interested in helping a friend of mine… she does dresses, and from what I can see she has a magnificent taste for fashion…” Spike said Through the Phone.

At the same time, Rarity and her parents were looking at Spike making this phone call and having thoughts of their own.

“This Kid is committed,” Magnus said in his head

“OH, My Rarity and Spike would make the cutest babies, I never wanted to be a grandma so bad,” Betty thought

“Who is this Yuki girl, don’t tell me my Spikey Wickey is taken, well if that’s the case, I’ll just win him back,” Rarity thought maliciously

“... Ok then… 5 minutes please, it's urgent… ok… ok Bye… kisses,” Spike finished

“Who was that Spike?” asked Rarity Jealously

“Oh, my sister-in-law, she works in the marketing business with my brother and they have a liking for fashion, which I am pretty sure started with my mom,” Spike explained

Making Rarity sigh in relief

“SO I just called her to talk with my brother and help you guys out. Now for the other call,” Spike said

“Hi, dad… yes, I passed… thanks… I’m a Lieutenant Colonel… thanks… yeah, I told them… Ok, that is something I didn’t want to know… anyway, I was calling you to do me a favor… yeah would you mind investing in a tailoring company, I mean you are a broker and like challenges… no not me Mom, a friend of mine, her name... I said, FRIEND… Yes, she is here… Ok then… one second, He wants to talk to all of you so I’m starting a face chat,” Spike said

He didn’t even have the word face and Rarity had doved into her handbag and grabbed her make up kit to fix her appearance.

10 seconds later Rarity’s make up was spotless and Spike started the face Chat

“Hello, My name is Devin Drake, Arch-count of the proud Draconian house of Drake but my friends call me Dovah,” Dovah said

“Hello Mr. Drake My name is Rachel Belle Faison, I’m the owner of Carousel Boutique where every garment is chic, unique and Magnifique, but feel free to call me Rarity, I’m the friend your son was talking about,” Rarity introduced herself

After her, her parents presented themselves and had gotten into a very friendly conversation with Dovah completely forgetting the point of the call.

“Ok, guys time to talk business, I’ll give Mr. Faison your info so you and mom can talk to them as much as you want later."

“Right, sorry my dear, what seems to be the situation?” asked Dovah

Magnus and Rarity explained the whole problem to Dovah who just said

“Spike, how close are you with Rarity?”

“That is a very weird question, but, I… see her as… one of my best friends,” Spike answered

Dovah just looked at Spike and then to Rarity, then back to Spike,

“Oh, this kid can be so damn stubborn, I know he likes her, and by the look of her the only thing that is keeping her from raping him are her princess-like mannerism and in a far bigger scale, the fact that her parents are present, Oh well, I know it’s just time before they accept reality so…,” Dovah thought

“Young lady, your business has caught my attention, and my wife's even more as she loves fashion… so seeing that you and my son are close… I am willing to invest in your business for 10% of your company shares, do we have a deal?” asked Dovah

“Yes sir, thank you sir,” said Rarity sobbing of happiness.

“Ok then, Spike, Rarity, Mr. and Mrs. Faison, I'll see you later,” Dovah said, ending the call.

“Thanks, Spike, thank you so much!!!!” Rarity said jumping on Spike and giving him a bear hug, Spike just stood there not knowing how to react, some seconds later Rarity let go with a big blush on her face.

“Well, that’s one less problem, now we only have to find you a house in Canterlot, but rent there is not cheap and the Academy’s dorm is full,” Magnus said

This made Rarity a bit worried as in the excitement of saving her Boutique she forgot about the housing situation.

Spike just watched as Magnus, Betty, and Rarity desperately tried to think of something.

“I can’t believe I’m going to do this,” Spike thought

“You can stay with me, I have 6 rooms I’m not really using and I can move things around in my basement or studio for you to make your designs,” Spike said

Rarity just looked at Spike and walked up to him and gave him a hug,

“All the rooms have electronic locks that are magic resistant so you don’t have to worry about privacy,” Spike finished.

“Spike, May I talk to you alone for a sec,” Magnus said walking out, followed by Spike

“Spike, what are you to my daughter?” Magnus asked

“A good friend, I think,” Spike answered

“Listen, Spike, I know you mean well but, you have to understand that she is one of my little princesses,”

“I understand, and don’t worry I’m…” Spike began

“So, I just want you to know that you have my blessing to marry my daughter when you like,” Magnus said with happy tears falling from his face.

“What?” asked Spike

“Well that is settled, sweety you better pack some of your things, we will send the rest tomorrow,” Magnus said walking in and towards his daughter room

Spike just stood frozen in place, not comprehending what had just happened, Rarity noticed this and walked up to him

“Spike, Darling are you ok?” asked Rarity earning a blank stare from Spike “What did my father tell you?”

“I… I think Your dad just engaged us,” Spike said. At the mention of this Rarity blushed really hard

“Oh, just ignore him, dear, now just go and sit down. Will I pack some things ok,” Rarity said, pushing Spike towards a sofa in the living room and sitting him there.
“Dad, That was the best assist you have ever done for me in my life, now all I have to do is convince Spike to give love a chance, and hopefully I can become his one less lonely girl,” Rarity thought as she happily walked to her old room to pack her essentials, all while fantasizing of Spike and her sharing a house, a possible love nest for the 2 of them.

Let’s just hope she doesn’t do something reckless, that will make the others jealous.

Author's Note

Hello faithful readers.

Hoping everyone is staying safe.

I am writing this note because I know some of you guys might be wondering why I didn't include the exam scenes in this chapter.

Well, the reason is that if I did it would've been too long and that I don't have enough knowledge to make an accurate description of how the exams were.

But don't worry I'll add flashbacks to the exams in future chapters, so please keep reading.

Bye for now.
