VALENTINE’S DAY/HEART AND HOOVES DAY EVE (February 13)

It’s been a while since the exams took place, and everyone got their ranks and joined the special forces. Spike and Rarity have been living together, and surprisingly, no one has found out yet. In fact, the only major problem came during Heart’s Warming/Christmas, when Spike, without an option, invited Rarity and her parents to his family’s party, and, being the social media fanatic she is, posted various pictures of the party. Pictures that mostly emphasized that she was at Spike’s family party, which as you may know caused some jealousy and surprise, especially the picture where Rarity was kissing a very, VERY, surprised Spike on the cheek. You can imagine the amount of explaining they had to do when they came back. Especially Spike.

(Oh, and if you are wondering, yes, Spike went to Sweet Apple Acres for the party. Very reluctantly, in fact. You might say he was dragged there by Rarity.)

But all that is beside the point, so let’s get back to the story.

STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE/ LUNCH TIME

It has been a very difficult 3 weeks for the new student council, who as always were checking school regulations, club petitions, and disciplinary committee reports, which is what they are doing now.

“Why do we have so many reports?” asked Sunset.

“I have no idea but I’m getting sick of it.” Twilight said.

“Now, come on you two, it ain’t that bad.” Applejack said, just as Spike dropped another massive stack of papers in front of them scaring them.

“I know we have very … well placed, school regulations, but all these are from this month… so far.” Spike said.

“WHAT!!!!!” All the girls screamed in surprise.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me?" Sunset, said.

“Wait a minute. All these incidents are minor. Look… kissing… hugging… just normal PDA.” Twilight said.

“Who’s doing these reports?” asked AJ.

“Fluttershy… Fluttershy… RD… RD… Flash… Oh hey, this one is a major incident, but it was written by Soarin… the rest are mixed between the other members of the disciplinary committee but most of them are from… Twilight and Fluttershy... wait… Twilight!!!” said Spike.

“What? All the ones I wrote down are intermediate offenses.” Twilight defended herself.

“She’s right, all her reports are mostly about bullying and vandalism.” Sunset said

“I have an idea. Let’s separate these reports in 3 groups, Minor, intermediate, and extreme.” said Spike, earning a look of confusion from the girls.

“Our institution is open about PDA, to a certain extent, and by the look of it most of these cases are about PDA, so why don’t we just concentrate on the extreme cases ok.” Spike instructed.

10 minutes later the papers had been separated accurately and were now forming 3 stacks. And as Spike said, 50% of the cases were minor. So the ones that were PDA were disregarded. Now the other half was split 30% and 20%, so they started working on the extreme cases.

“Oh my God, all these are cases of hallway copulation.” Twilight said.

“What?” asked Sunset.

“It means students are fucking in the halls.” Spike said.

“Not only students, but there is also one that specifies that coach Bulk and coach Cooper were caught having intercourse in the locker room.” Twilight said getting red.

“Oh, good for them. They finally realized that they are good for each other.” Spike said nonchalantly, earning a look from the girls. “What? Was I the only one that realized that Coach Cooper had the hots for Bulk?”

“Even if you say it, it sounded wrong.” Twilight said.

“She’s right sugar cube, they’re teachers and must make an example.” AJ said.

“So, he does know when someone has feelings for someone else, yet he ignores my approaches like the plague. Is he dense or just doesn’t like me?” thought Sunset.

Just then Spike received a phone call.

“Mac, what’s up… right now?... Uhm, ok… ok, the statue… see ya there.” Spike said hanging up, “ Ok girls I have to go and help somewhere,”

“Is somethin’ wrong with ma brother?” asked AJ.

“I wouldn’t say wrong, but maybe heart sick.” Spike said as he closed the door.

3 minutes later, the girls were back to work when suddenly.

“I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to confess my feelings to Spike today.” said Twilight full of DETERMINATION.

Sunset and AJ just look at her with concern on their faces.

“Twilight, sugar cube, I know you’ve had feelings for Spike for a while, and I must admit I can see why, but…” AJ started.

“Your love life hasn’t had the best outcomes.” finished Sunset.

“What do you mean?” asked Twilight confused.

“Twilight, you’ve had 3 crushes in your life. Flash, Timber Spruce, and now Spike. But you never seem to consolidate a relationship. You and Flash were so close back in high school but, then you guys had some sort of romantic fall out.” said Sunset.

“And then you have that no good lying two-faced jerk, Timber Spruce. You guys were almost an item, but then he just went and got engaged with another girl in secret. I mean if it wasn’t for Gloriosa Daisy, you would’ve been caught in a love triangle.” AJ continued.

“Twilight it’s not that we don’t support you, but we just want the best for you. Don’t try to be like Rarity or for a better example, Gabby. especially with my Spike. Just have patience, and love will come to you.” Sunset said.

“Twi, why don’t you go for a walk to clear your thoughts? That always helps me.” AJ said.

“Your right I will. Maybe I can come up with a way to confess to Spike.” Twilight said leaving her 2 friends alone in the office.

“I can’t believe I’m gonna say this but, I hope Spike rejects her… WOW, that gives her nickname a new meaning.” Sunset said.

“What’re you talking about?” asked AJ.

“Tree hugger and Sandalwood were caught after hours on the field having sex, and you can imagine what position Tree hugger was in.” Sunset said, making both her and AJ turn red just imagining the scene.

WITH SPIKE, THE ACADEMY’S MEMORIAL MONUMENT

“Mac? Big Mac? Where the fuck are you?” asked Spike.

“Over here.” came Flash’s voice.

Spike turned and saw Flash, Caramel, and Neon Lights, next to Big Mac, who was trying to hide in some bushes. Spike walked towards them.

“What is the problem?” asked Spike.

“I want to ask my girlfriend, Sugar Belle, to marry me, but I just don’t know if she will say yes or she will just laugh at me and break up with me…” Big Mac explained.

“Didn’t you start dating her like, 4 months ago?” asked Neon Lights.

“Yup.”

“Isn’t that going a little fast?” asked Caramel.

“Nope. My Ma and Pa only dated 6 months before marrying.” Big Mac explained.

“Their situation was completely different!” Caramel almost screamed.

“Where is she to begin with?” asked Flash.

Big Mac then pointed towards the coffee shop in the main plaza, and sure enough, Sugar Belle was there, working as a waiter.

“I just don’t know how to ask her to marry me.” Big mac said.

“Who has Spares after lunch?” asked Spike.

Caramel, Neon, and Flash raised their hands.

“Ok then, this is the plan, Mac, you go to her and tell her to meet you at the park after class ok. Then take her to the kiosk on lovers lane. We’ll take care of the rest, is that a plan?” Spike asked, earning a nod from everyone.

Just as they were going to put their plan in motion, they heard voices nearby.

“So… why did you ask me out here?” came RD’s voice.

“Well… you see… I… wanted to ask you something…” came Soarin’s voice.

At the realization of this, Spike and company moved quietly closer through the bushes to see the scene unfold.

“Oh, then ask away,” RD said.

“Uh… um… would… would you…” stammered Soarin, this was the first time he was doing this.

“Would I what?” asked RD, getting inpatient.

“OH FUCK IT… RAINBOW DASH, WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?” Soarin screamed, getting red.

The sudden question took RD by surprise and made her both red and freeze up.

In the bushes, the guys were whispering quietly to each other.

“Oh man, I think we’re about to witness a rejection.” Caramel said.

“Why do you say that?” asked Flash.

“It’s RD, she might be a girl, but she doesn’t come off as the dating type.” Neon said.

“You guys, have some hope in Soarin.” Big Mac said.

“Mac has a point. Soarin and RD have been close since day 1 of High school remember?” Spike finished just in time to see the end of the scene.

“Soarin… do you know what you just said?” said RD with an angry voice walking towards him.

“Uh… Uh… a love confession?” said a scared Soarin walking backward.

“No… Not only did you say a “Love Confession”... you said the sentence I’ve been wanting to hear since our last year of Highschool.” RD said tackling Soarin to the ground and kissing him passionately on the lips.

Soarin, at first surprised, didn’t know how to react to the sudden lip-lock that RD had started. But soon his mind processed the whole thing and got into it as well.

In the bushes, the guys were all walking away quietly.

“That was a surprise, even for me.” said Neon.

“I know. I never thought that Smartmouth, tomboy, competitive queen Rainbow Dash, had a massive crush on Soarin!” Caramel said.

“You learn something new every day.” Spike said.

“Now that we’re talking about couples… I have to confess something… especially to you Big Mac.” Caramel said.

This made everyone stop in their tracks, and Big Mac turned to look at Caramel.

“What is it Caramel?" asked Big Mac.

“It’s about your sister Applejack.” Caramel said.

“What about her?” asked Mac.

“I… I mean we… we have been dating in secret since the beginning of the year, and I know I wasn’t supposed to tell anyone but I just had to.” Caramel said as Big Mac walked towards him with a murderous aura.

Big Mac came to a stop just in front of Caramel, everyone now watching the scene unfold.

What happened next no one saw coming.

Big Mac had lunged on Caramel and was giving him a massive bear hug.

“Welcome to the family, Caramel!!!” Big Mac said.

“Wait… What!?” asked Caramel surprised.

“I already knew about my sister’s feelings for you. In fact, you can say that we all were waiting for her to tell us you 2 were an item, especially mom and dad, and Granny Smith.” Big Mac said.

“Oh… Cool… Mac… can you please let go… I can’t breath…” Caramel said turning blue

“Oops, sorry.” Big Mac said letting go.

“Ok, enough with the chat, let’s put the plan in motion.” Neon said running off with Spike and Flash in tow.

“Wait… wait for me…” Caramel said as he started running after them.

Big mac then turned and walked towards the coffee shop.

“Can you believe that?” came a voice from the bushes.

“Miss perfect apples has been dating for all this time? Now that is something I am going to use later on.” RD said as she and Soarin walked out of the bushes.

“I wonder what they are up to though?” said Soarin.

“Don’t pay much attention to it, babe. Come on, let’s go eat something, cause I’m starving.” said RD, as she grabbed Soarin’s hand and ran towards the food court.

LOVERS LANE, 5 PM

“Why did you bring me here, Big Mac? Asked Sugar Belle.

“Well, you see Sugar Belle, I know that you and I have only known each other for a short bit. And when we met me and Applebloom really messed up your shop, and then I ruined your special cake, and, not to mention when I accidentally stripped and left your lower half exposed to the world on our 10th date…” Big Mac started.

“Oh, Mac those were simple accidents, and you made them better tenfold. As for the shorts incident, it was partially my fault for making us walk on the slippery sidewalk, and it’s not like anyone saw me as it was already late at night.” Sugar Belle said, giving Big Mac a hug.

“But I just wanted us to have a good time on our dates, and every time we have something always goes wrong. I just don’t think I…” Big Mac started.

“Stop right there, Big mac, you have nothing to feel sorry about. Plus, although there is always something happening, it’s not your fault, and I don’t love you any less… Mac, did I blame you for the time your friend Flash almost ran us over with his car at the mall? Or when Caramel third wheeled with us for 3 hours during our 40th date? Or when we discovered your sister and her friends stalking our date, saying they wanted to practice being secret spies for when they got to the Academy? NO, I didn’t. And it will take far more than those little things to make me change my feelings for you. Please stop blaming yourself for those things, Ok?” Sugar Belle said.

“I know Sugar Belle I just…” Big Mac said again.

“Just, nothing… like I told you it will take far more than that for me to stop loving you.” Sugar Belle said as she and Mac got to the Kiosk on the trail.
“So… what was it you wanted to discuss with me on our 100th date?” asked Sugar Belle.

“Oh, yeah… Um… Sugar Belle… I know we haven’t been together for much… and I know I’m a clutz sometimes… but I wanted to know if you… would do me the honor… of…” said Big Mac walking with her to the grass and making the hidden hand sign to his friends as he got down on one knee.

“Marrying me?” Big Mac said as many lights started to turn on around them and formed a bid heart.

Sugar Belle was so surprised that she didn’t know what to say or do, but just cried. Big Mac thought that she was crying out of sadness, so he started to get up, but then he heard.

“It’s not fair… I was going to ask you to marry me… but I just couldn’t muster the courage to do so.” Sugar Belle said as she hugged Big Mac.

“Then, Why don’t we do it together?” said Big Mac. Sugar Belle nodded.

“1...2...3 WOULD YOU MARRY ME?” Sugar Belle and Big Mac said at the same time.

“YUP!” they said as Big Mac placed the ring on her finger.

“CONGRATULATIONS!!!!” came many voices from the bushes as Big mac’s Parents, little sister, her friends, Granny Smith, Flash, Caramel, Neon, Spike and even Discord came towards them clapping.

“Mom? Dad? What are all of you doing here?” asked Big Mac.

“Spike called us and told us about the plan.” Said Big Mac’s dad.

“SO we came running to help out.” Big Mac’s mom said.

“We even brought Granny Smith, but she fell asleep before you arrived. Good thing Flash woke her up.” Applebloom said.

“Haha, yes, dearie, once again thank you Flash.” Granny Smith said towards Flash.

“Well, I think it’s time for us to give them some room.” Discord said to Spike, Flash, Caramel, and Neon, walking away.

HALF AN HOUR LATER

“Thanks again guys, you have made us very happy.” Sugar Belle said to Spike, Flash, Caramel and Neon.

“Don’t mention it.” Spike said.

Just then they all heard a voice

“Hi guys what’s going on?”

Everyone turned and so the Rainbooms coming towards them.

“The guys just help me and Mac, get engaged!” Sugar said showing off the ring.

“Oh, really congratulations!” Said Fluttershy.

“Hang on a darn minute… You guys got engaged and didn’t tell me a darn thing?” said AJ.

“AJ, I called you about 10 times. I even left you voicemails.” Caramel said, making AJ get her phone and realizing that she had left it on silent due to them being in the studio recording a new song. This made her feel sheepish.

“Spike, may I talk to you in private, please?” came Twilight’s voice all of a sudden.

“Sure.” Spike said following Twilight to the Kiosk up the trail.

“What is that about?” asked Flash.

“I think Twilight is going to confess to Spike.” AJ said.

“WHAT!?” said everyone in the group.

“Twilight, you are not getting away with this!” Rarity thought as she began to quietly walk towards the bushes surrounding the Kiosk.

“Witch, traitor, and here I thought you and I were friends Twilight, but if you take my Spike, I will end your life!” Fluttershy thought following Rarity.

“Twilight, no!” Flash thought.

“This is going to be interesting.” Thought RD.

“What is it Twilight?” asked Spike.

“Spike, you see I know we’ve been friends for a long time, and I… I just want you to know…"

“Twilight, please stop,” Spike said in a whisper.

“That I… Love… you, and… I want to be more than… Friends…” Twilight continued oblivious to Spike’s request.

“Twilight. Please?” Said Spike.

“PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!!!!?” Twilight finished.

Spike stood there in silence, but the bushes were nothing like him, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Sunset Shimmer, were being held back by the other so that they didn't give away their position, although AJ and RD were having a lot of trouble controlling Fluttershy.

“Twilight, I’m honored that you feel that way about me… but… I’m sorry… I… I can't stop seeing you as nothing but a little sister, and that’s the level of my love for you.” Spike said sadly.

Twilight just stood there sobbing quietly.

Spike then moved towards her and gave her a brotherly hug.

“I hope this gives you closure, Twi, and I’m really sorry I couldn’t say yes.” Spike Whispered into Twilight's ear.

“Thanks, Spike.” Twilight sobbed quietly.

Spike then let go of her and walked away.

Twilight just sat on the bench and saw Spike walk away, before being surrounded by her friends.

“Twilight, I’m sorry that didn’t go as you expected.” Sunset said.
“Yeah, cheer up, there are many more fish out there… But not my Soarin, HE’S OFF LIMITS YOU HERE ME?!” RD said as she hugged his arm tightly, earning a laugh from everyone, but Flash. He was furious with Spike, as he couldn’t bear to see her sad and hurt.

“Spike, you asshole.” Flash said going after him.

This caught the attention of Big Mac, Soarin and Caramel since Neon and Vinyl were swapping spit at that very moment.

PARKS SOCCER FIELD, SECONDS LATER

“SPIIIIIIKE!” came Flash’s voice as he caught Spike’s attention.

“What is it, Flash?” Spike said.

“I challenge you to a duel!!!” Flash said.

Spike, knowing the rules, knew that he couldn’t say no, not because of the fact that they were in a legal arena, but because if he didn’t accept he would insult Flash’s honor. So, he got in position.

Just as they were about to start they heard Big Mac.

“MAY THE LAND KEEP US SAFE, BUILD AROUND AN EVERLASTING SHIELD, SO THAT THIS FIELD MAY STAY PROTECTED!” Big Mac had chanted his protection spell for Flash and Spike to go all out, and not worry about destroying the park, the city, or the whole continent.

“You think that because you are so attractive you can just step over other girl’s feelings!!!!!” Flash said lunging towards Spike, connecting various punches on Spike’s body, who was not defending himself from them.

"You’ve got it wrong, Flash, All I tried to do was…” said Spike before being hit in the face by Flash.

“SHUT UP!!!!” Said Flash as he continued his assault on Spike.

After a good 5 minutes of receiving blow after blow from Flash, Spike had enough and used a defensive technique to make Flash stand back, known as Flame Vortex.

“All I tried to do was give her closure!!! Flash she was hurting inside since she couldn’t bring herself to decide who to love, or to even love again!” Spike finished.

“SHUT! UP!” Flash screamed, punctuating his words with a punch each.

“DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD TWILIGHT LIKED YOU?! SHE WOULD ALWAYS DAYDREAM ABOUT YOU! HECK, SHE EVEN CALLED ME SPIKE ONCE DURING LUNCHTIME!” Flash screamed.

“Flash, that’s enough. I'm not going to fight you. I had my reasons to reject Twily.” Spike said.

“I DON’T BELIEVE YOU!!!!!!” Flash screamed, and then did something that scared Spike a lot.

“I SUMMON THE GREAT AND MAGNIFICENT ARMOR OF LIGHT, TO HELP ME CRUSH MY ENEMY AND COME OUT VICTORIOUS!” said Flash as his body started to be engulfed by a red and black aura.

Usually when Flash used that ability the aura was yellow and pure, but now his magic was being controlled by hate and anger, which meant it was really unstable.

“FLASH STOP, YOUR MAGIC IS TOO UNSTABLE!!!” Spike yelled.

“YES, YEEEEES, BEG FOR MERCY, CAUSE I WILL GIVE YOU NONEd” Flash screamed, his mind completely lost to the rage.

“I have to stop him. If this goes any further, he will run the same fate as me!” Spike thought.

And after trying desperately to find an opening in the shield, he lunged at Flash, morphing his left claw into a dragon’s claw. “Dragon battle art: Devil’s Claw!” Spike said, making contact with Flash’s stomach.

The force was so hard, it knocked Flash unconscious, ending the battle.

SOCCER FIELD MINUTES LATER

“Flash, you ok man?” asked Spike.

“Yeah, what happened? I just remember challenging you, and then poof, everything was a blur."

“You went ballistic and almost killed Spike man.” Caramel explained.

“Well, good thing you are ok. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Spike said walking away rapidly.

“You’re hiding something, Spike. And I’m going to find out what it is.” Flash said in his head.

SPIKE’S HOUSE 30 MINUTES LATER

Spike pulled up to his driveway and parked his car. He was tired from the whole day, and was ready to go to bed.

Just as Spike got out of his car, another one pulled up rapidly. It was a blue and black Chevrolet Camaro that Spike knew very well.

“I know you’re hiding something Spike, and you better tell me what’s going on.” Said Flash as he got out of his car.

“Flash please drop the subject?” Spike said walking away.

“No!” said Flash grabbing Spike by the collar of his shirt and throwing him against the wall. “I’m one of your best friends, yet every time me or the guys ask if you want to hang with us, you refuse. And every time a girl asks you out you turn her down. Why do you do it? I know that at least I and the guys deserve it. We treated you badly so many times but, what’s wrong with you?” said Flash getting angry.

“Come in.” Spike said. Flash didn't know what else to do, so he followed Spike.

Once inside, Flash noticed how big of a house Spike had.

“Nice crib. Very neat and clean, but being you I’m not surprised.” Flash said.

“Thanks.” Spike said dimly.

“Hey, one second, are those… what are Rarity’s boots doing here?” Flash asked.

Spike then explained the situation to Flash.

“Man, you have a big heart.”

“Please don’t tell anyone. It’s already awkward as it is.” Spike begged.

“I’ll keep the secret. Now what’s wrong with you?” asked Flash as he and Spike sat down in the living room.

“Have you ever heard of “Rage-Growth syndrome”?” asked Spike.

“Yeah, but I do know it’s wrongly named. It’s not a syndrome, it's more like a degenerating disease.” Flash said.

“Well, then, do you know what the symptoms are?” Spike asked.

“Yeah, they usually have something to do with your body being destroyed from the inside.” Flash answered.

“Well, kind of. Flash, let me tell you a story: When I was 8 years old, I used to be chubby, and slow magic developer, and lived on the streets after my parents abandoned me. The only person that cared for me was Ms. Potterwitts, God rest her soul. She used to give me food and let me use her house to take a bath and do my necessities. She even gave me clothes and offered me to live with her, but I refused. I didn’t want to be a burden to a 70-year-old lady, so I lived in an abandoned treehouse. Then one day, a Bahamut attacked the Crystal Empire, and I was caught in the middle of the fight. I ran with all my might to the nearest safe house, just to realize that Ms. Potterwitts wasn’t there. I got worried and ran to her house, just to find it destroyed, and Ms. Potterwitts crushed by the rubble. I tried to save her, but she died in my arms.” Spike said as a tear fell from his face.

“That same instant, I entered into anger and decided to go fight the Bahamut, although I knew it was a suicide mission. When I got to where the Bahamut was, I tried to use my weak powers to stop it. First, I tried using a level 5 art known as Dragon Breath, but it was nothing for the Bahamut. I then got scared when I realized that the beast was a God-killer class, and I tried to hide. Hearing as this thing came towards me, I entered into desperation, and my fear made my body grow 20 levels of what I was used to. That was already bad enough, as I was currently a level 4, and jumping all those levels really injured my organs, but I hadn’t realized yet."

"After realizing this, I gained some confidence and attacked the beast but I was still way too weak to fight it, and it used me like a rag doll. After I went through my last skyscraper, I felt like giving up. But, just as I was getting ready to die, I got angry. And my body started to be engulfed by flames, red flames, very different then my green flames, and I had grown 30 more levels. The sudden change even made my body grow a foot, and lose all the fat I had on my body. I later realized that was the only thing that didn’t make me die that same instant, that and my determination. So I lunged at the beast again, and fought it. During the last minutes of the fight, I got even angrier and without even realizing, I used a legendary art that is known as The Dragonknight Holy sword, a level 150 skill. It helped but using it caused me even more damage, and still, the beast wasn’t dying. So, out of desperation, I used another legendary art known as “Dragon Roar,” which was also a level 150 attack. I managed to defeat it, but I didn’t realize my body was so damaged… I didn’t find out until I was 12. By then my new dad had helped me grow in power mastery, but we didn’t know of my health state. Once we found out, my dad spent millions to try and save me but it was a waste of time. Then my dad took me to see the Dragonlord, and he told me that I should just train and cultivate my magic as much as I could, maybe that would stop my self-destruction. But he told me that it may not work forever, and one day I will become ashes, like anyone who had done the same as I did."

"I actually got better and for about 3 years. But then one day, while practicing with my mom, my body failed me, and my flames went out of control. I almost killed her with them. It took all I had to get them back into my body. A month later, I moved back to Vanhoover, to train with the Dragonlord, and after 2 years I was once again in control. But my body was now weak, and using my powers over level 200 is just suicide for me, as my body can’t take it. After I learned that, I asked how much time I had left, and they told me that about 1 year if I didn’t train or cultivate, so I have been doing that and, well here I am today… The reason I don’t socialize much or get a girlfriend is that I don’t want to leave a memory of me. I just want to be forgotten, so that way once I’m gone...I won’t affect anyone.” Spike finished and looked at Flash, he had tears in his eyes.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I didn’t want to be a burden.” Spike answered.

“That’s just selfish!” Flash said in anger, rising from his seat.

“Flash, another thing you should know is that now, you might be suffering the same issue when you morphed into the knight armor. It was 50 times more powerful than what you’re used to, and I couldn’t stop you in time to avoid damage to your body. I’m really sorry.” Spike said calmly.

Flash was shocked, standing, stunned.

“How much time do you think I lost doing that?” asked Flash.

“About 10 to 30 Years.” said Spike.

“Oh, well, I wasn’t planning on living that long anyway.” Flash said with a smile, still shaken, but much more relieved.

“You seem awfully calm about this.” Spike said.

“It’s ok, really.” Flash said.

The room then went completely quiet for about 5 minutes.

“Spike I need your help. I want to confess to Twilight, but I don’t know how.” Flash said.

“Well, you know she loves music, so write her a song.” Spike said.

“Already did, I just never thought of singing it.” Flash said.

“Then let’s go and sing it.” Spike said, getting up and grabbing his guitar.

1 HOUR LATER, ACADEMY’S THEATER

“Flash, Are you in here? What is the emergency?” came Twilight’s voice, full of worry.

Then the lights turned on, pointed to the stage, and there was Flash with his guitar.

"Twilight please have a seat." Twilight did as she was told.

“Flash, what’s going on?” asked Twilight

“I… I don’t know how to say it upfront so… I hope the song helps.” Flash said getting ready.

After the song finished, Twilight saw Spike, Big Mac, Cheese, and Soarin leave the stage.

“Twilight, I... I love you, and I hope you can accept my feelings.” Flash said, getting close to Twilight.

“Flash I… I don’t know what to say… the song was just so beautiful… do you really feel that way about me?” Twilight asked with tears in her eyes.

“That and more.” said Flash.

Then, without warning, Twilight and Flash locked lips, passionately.

In the hallway, a figure just looked at them.

“I hope you take good care of my little sister, Flash. I leave her in your care for when I am gone. I wish the 2 of you happiness… and lots of babies.” Said Spike with a smile.

After saying that, Spike just walked away quietly into the night, full of happiness as he got to see Twilight happy once again.
