Dragonkin Ch 8. The Gala

THE NIGHT OF THE GALA

Today is the day, the day for the Gala/homecoming party at the castle, and all through the week, everyone has been very busy, renting or buying proper clothes, getting the perfect ride, and most importantly, GETTING A DATE!

But for one particular 18-year-old fashion designer, it has been a very busy week.

Rarity has had at least 200 orders (she lost count after 120) which were now complete and ready to deliver. Everyone from her close friends, to very important celebrities, had placed orders for the gala and were really excited to see what the fashionista could do.

Over the last 2 weeks, Rarity worked day and night to be able to give her clients the best. It came to the point that Spike even offered his help in making the dresses, which helped, even though Spike had no prior experience in dressmaking. But his help with the finer details made them finish faster.

Rarity had also been going to the spa for at least 2 hours a day, hence why she sometimes worked until very late, and also why she couldn’t find a date. Well that and the fact she is still waiting for her “Knight in scale armor” to ask her, but that thought had escaped her mind last night when he went to bed without much as “Good night”.

But now is not the best time to be thinking about it since she had a plan. “Wake up early, get ready for the gala, ask Spike to deliver the dresses, and force him to take me to Gala, at least as a friend.” She thought it was a foolproof plan, except she had come up with it at 2 AM in the morning.

THAT MORNING

Rarity laid in bed, with her eyes closed, dreaming of the Gala, dancing to a romantic slow song, enjoying themselves a lot, then Spike stops, gets down on one knee and shows her a beautiful ring, then puts it in her ring finger, gets up and leans in for a kiss…

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

Came the alarm clock, in the night table, “Oh, that stupid thing went off at the best moment of my dream… wait a minute I didn’t set my alarm clock. Rarity thought.

“I have so many questions starting with How? And Why?” came a voice Rarity knew very well.

She turned rapidly and realized that now her face was mear centimeters away from Spike’s, who was wearing a very confused facial expression.

The realization hit Rarity really hard and turned a bright shade of red.

“I’m still waiting for an explanation,” said Spike

“I”m… I’m… I’m really sorry darling. I must’ve walked into your room half asleep after finishing the dresses last night.” Rarity tried to explain.

“Ok, that’s the why… now, How did you open…” began Spike, just as the door to his room flung open and a voice said.

“You see, I told you she went into my master’s room last night.” said Peewee.

“Yeah, I guess you're right, anyway… good morning my lady did you SLEEP well?” came a female voice, just as a cat jumped onto the bed

“Morning Opal,” said Spike

“Morning Mr. Drake,” Opal answered

“So… I guess you forgot to fix the lock to your room?” said Peewee

“Yeah,” answered Spike getting out of bed “Oh, by the way, morning Rarity, you look fabulous.” said Spike leaving for the kitchen, making Rarity blush even harder.

“SO… tell me did you do it?!” Opal asked as she laid on Rarity’s lap.

“Did what?” Rarity asked.

“Babies!!!” Opal said.

“GOD, no Opal! Where did you even get those ideas?!” said Rarity, turning even redder, getting up going to her room.

“She still hasn’t realized that she talks in her sleep, and I must say some of those dreams are really… steamy. Still, I would like to see my master having children… it will be a fun adventure.” said Opal leaving Spike’s room and going towards the kitchen hearing her bowl being filled by Spike.

MINUTES LATER (47 TO BE EXACT)

Rarity walked into the kitchen, after taking a shower and getting out of her pajamas (which consisted of a bathrobe, covering her underwear and some shorts) and putting on something a bit more dignifying.

“Morning Spike… what smells so good?” asked Rarity walking into the kitchen.

“Oh, just some bacon and eggs I prepared for breakfast. I didn’t know what you wanted, so I made you some too. If you don’t want them, I can give them to Opal." Spike said.

“Oh darling, you read my mind for breakfast… again.” Rarity said as she got her plate and Spike served her some.

Rarity really enjoyed Spike’s cooking, but she loved it even more, when they cooked together, like a married couple. She also loved working together, eating together, playing video games together, well long story short, she loves doing everything together, and now she can add sleeping together.

“So… Spike, you're still keen on not going to the party?” asked Rarity as she and Spike sat down at the dining table and started eating.

“Yeah… I’m not really big on parties, and I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade.”Spike said.

“Oh, that’s just silly Spike, I’m pretty sure…” Rarity began but was interrupted by Spike’s phone ringing.

“Hello.” said Spike.

“Yo, Spike, ready for tonight?” asked Flash.

“No.” said Spike.

“Well then start getting ready.” Flash said in a happy tone.

“Why? You know I’m not going.” said Spike.

“Yeah… about that… I kind of told Discord that we’re going to be one of the bands for the night. You know, since he said he wanted a bit of everything at the party, and I mentioned that you, me, and the guys are in a band so… now you’re required to come whether you like it or not.” Flash said.

“Flash… I don’t know whether to kill you or burn you alive.” Spike said, getting angry.

“You’re welcome. You have to be here by 7 PM sharp, bye.” said Flash hanging up the call.

Rarity just looked at Spike for a few seconds before asking.

“What’s wrong?”

“Flash has officially placed his name on my blacklist.” said Spike as he finished his food.

“How?” asked Rarity.

“He told Discord that me and the guys had volunteered to provide music for the evening at the gala, something I don’t remember doing… and now I have to go and iron my Tux.” said Spike getting up.

“Flash, you’re a genius! I could kiss you, but your lips belong to Twilight, and my lips belong to Spike, just like my body!” Rarity said in her head as she ran to Spike’s studio turned Boutique and started making last-minute changes to her dress.

GALA TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It had been a very busy day for Spike. Not only did he have to make last-minute changes to his evening schedule, but he had to make many errands. The most important was to deliver the dresses to Rarity’s friends since the rich customers had sent servants or even gone themselves to Spike’s house to get the dresses.

All-day long Spike drove through town delivering the dresses. He went to the female dorms at the academy, where a massive line of girls waited for their dresses, some very impatiently.

Then he went to Derpy's apartment to deliver Derpy’s dress but was nearly killed by one of Whoove’s inventions that had gone out-of-control.

After that, he had to go to Twilight’s apartment, where she just talked and talked about wanting to have a magical night with Flash and all of her friends. It came to the point that Twilight called Fluttershy, Sunset, AJ, Pinkie, and RD to her house to make Spike’s life easier, but she kind of made it worse. Especially because of Sunset and Fluttershy, who were all over Spike. Sunset even asked Spike if he liked her underwear.

Spike finally, with some help from AJ and RD, managed to leave the building.

Spike later went to Vinyl’s house, where he also found Octavia, Neon, and Frederick, so he crossed out another stop.

Then he arrived at Starlight’s house and gave her the dress.

Spike, so happy to be almost done with the deliveries, forgot to notice that Moondancer and Gabby were neighbors in the same apartment building.

Once he got to Moondancer’s apartment with the dress, he was really happy for being so close to finishing.

“Oh, Spike, nice to see you, is that my…” Moondancer began

“Did someone mention Spike?” said Gabby as she flung open her door.

“Hello Gabby.” Said Spike getting nervous.

“Oh, Spike it is so good to see you today!” Gabby answered, but in her rush to see Spike she had forgotten to change out of her nightclothes. She had also failed to notice that her tank top was showing her nipples through the fabric.

"Gabby, I think you’re showing a tad much,” Moondancer said.

Gabby looked at her funny, then the realization hit her. She tried to come up with a seductive comment, but all that came out was an embarrassed scream as she ran into her apartment.

“I’ll just leave her dress with you.” said Spike, walking away.

“Yeah it’s for the best. Thanks Gabby, I couldn’t invite him in because of you!” said Moondancer as she closed the door to her apartment.

But it had been worth it, now he just had to survive this party and he is going to be ok.

Spike pulled up to the castle and parked near the entrance. Some other very important figures had already started to arrive. We had Dukes and Duchesses from all around the world, kings and queens, political figures, actors, singers, and some students and teachers were there.

Spike got out of his car wearing a very fine Black Tux with a green tie, black pants, and black sneakers. He looked like a professional model, and that fact wasn’t going unknown by many females present.

Spike walked to the other side of his car and opened the door for Rarity to step out. She was wearing a magnificent purple dress, with dark blue wedges, and just as Spike, she had everyone’s eyes on her.

“Oh, Spike, this is just wonderful, I bet we’ll have a splendid time.” Rarity said cheerfully.

“When you say we, that means you and the rest of the gang right?” said Spike.

Rarity just gave Spike a look, but dropped her thoughts and got out of the car.

As they were walking towards the entrance, Rarity wrapped her right arm around Spike’s left, earning a confused look from Spike.

“It’s a gentleman’s duty to escort a lady.” Rarity said happily.

“Usually, yes, but in this circumstance, they might get the wrong idea.” Spike said.

“And what idea might that be?” asked Rarity.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???!!!!!!!” Came a voice from behind them.

Spike and Rarity turned and saw Sunset Shimmer (Owner of the voice), Fluttershy (who was making a very scary face), Moondancer (who just stood there in shock), and Gabby (who looked furious). Behind them was the rest of the group, all with their dates, all looking at the scene in front of them.

“Spike… I thought you said you weren’t coming?” said Sunset in a scary voice.

“And I wasn’t, but Flash the genius told Discord we were in a band and were asked to play tonight. That’s why I’m here.” Spike said with his typical poker face.

“But that doesn’t explain this.” said Moondancer pointing at Rarity and how close she was to Spike.

“What do you mean?” asked Spike.

“Why are you so close to each other?” said Fluttershy in a voice that made Spike shiver in fear.

“What does it look like to you? Obviously I’m standing so close to him because I’m his date to the gala.” Said Rarity with a smug smile.

“That’s not true!” said Spike.

“I mean after he insisted so much, I had no choice but to accept his proposal.” said Rarity earning a Jealous look from the aforementioned girls.

“That’s not true either!!!” said Spike.

“I won’t allow this! If anyone is going to be his date, it will be me!!” yelled Sunset as she wrapped herself onto Spike’s right arm, starting a mini tug of war for him.

“You’re wrong he will be my date!” said Fluttershy as she hugged Spike from behind and started pulling.

“Let go of my SBFFF!” said Moondancer as she started pulling Fluttershy.

“No you let go of my Best friend!” said Gabby as she started pulling Rarity.

“Should we get involved?” asked Soarin? He turned to see his friends munching down on a big bowl of popcorn enjoying the scene.

“Where the heck did you get the popcorn from?” he asked.

“From that stand… it’s free.” said Cheese, eating some more.

“You had those and didn’t give me any! YOU GUYS AIN’T SHIT!!” said Soarin as he went to get some.

“What’s that all about?” came a female voice.

“It looks like Spike has girl trouble." said a male voice.

The group turned and were met face to face with none-other than Princess Cadance and Shining Armor.

“Cadence, Shining!!! What are you doing here?” said Twilight.

“Celestia invited us to keep a good relationship with Crystal U. Some of the students are here too. I just hope everything goes well.” said Shining.

“It will, and Celestia also invited us because we are family.” Cadence said, adding to her husband’s comment. “Now, what’s that all about?”

“No clue, but it’s entertaining.” said Flash.

The tug of war continued for another 30 seconds, until.

“HAHAHA, I see you’re still as popular with the ladies as back home Spike.” came a male voice.

The girls stopped and let Spike turn to see who was talking, not that he needed to.

“Well, I’m not enjoying it Kallum!” Spike answered.

“No, but we are.” came a female voice.

“And hello to you too, Yuki. where are the kids?”

“We left them home. Izzy is taking care of them.” answered Yuki.

“Please tell me you’re lying?” said Spike.

“Hey, it wasn’t our idea!” said Kallum.

“Then who’s?” said Spike

“Mine.” came a much older female voice.

“MOM, DAD! What are you doing here!?” asked Spike after giving his mom and dad a hug.

“We were invited by Celestia for her baby shower.” said Jenny.

Dovah looked at the scene in front of him and said one of the worst possible comments.

“You know son, you remind me of me when I was your age. I also had a big group of girls interested in me, and I chose Jenny. But I’m kind of confused, I thought you were dating Rarity. Did I assume wrong? Cause you invited her and her family to our Christmas party.”

At this point, Spike and Rarity were receiving glares from the other girls in the group, and Dovah was also receiving a death glare from Jenny, for reliving that memory.

“Ah, Dovah, Jenny, glad to see you could make it, come now the party is about to start.” said Discord after greeting Spike and Kallum’s parents.

“What did I miss?” said Soarin as he came back with a medium-size popcorn bowl.

“I’ll explain later.” said RD as she grabbed Soarin and raced to the dance floor, followed by the rest of the group.

WELL INTO THE PARTY AROUND 11:30 PM

The party had been perfect, there was food, games, socializing, food, band battles, food, hookups, food, make-out sessions, and even more food and drinks.

When it came to the music, there had been various musical numbers going from the Coltrean (Korean) exchange student forming a boy band and singing.

To the Rainbooms singing their most famous party song with some members of Crystal U.

Then Flash and his friends singing an awesome love rock song.

Then there was Spike and Neon singing their most famous collab.

Discord, with the help of Spike and the gang, went up to sing. Here was where Spike demonstrated his mad piano skills.

And even a band from Crystal Uni., known as “Reflexions”, went on stage and sang their most popular song.

AFTER THE BAND BATTLE - CASTLE GARDENS

Spike had finally managed to exit the party and have a moment to himself. He walked all the way to the balcony that overlooked the city, and just looked onto the horizon.

“What are you doing out here?” came a male voice.

“Hey, Kallum, what do you want?” said Spike.

“Just to talk with my little bro, is that wrong?” Kallum answered.

Spike remained silent.

“SO, what’s on your head?” Kallum asked.

Spike remained quiet for a minute and then answered.

“The end is near for me… I can feel it.”

“Yeah… I feel it too… are you scared?” Kallum said.

“Not really… I’m more concerned… I tried to make myself invisible but I think it backfired on me.” Spike said.

“You think?” said Kallum remembering the catfight from earlier.

Kallum and Spike remained quiet for some time.

“Let’s go for a walk.” Kallum said finally.

After walking for a good 5 minutes Kallum spotted a kiosk with a piano on it.

“Let’s play something... for old time sake.” said Kallum, walking towards the kiosk with Spike in tow.

“What song do you want to play?” asked Spike, getting his guitar ready.

“Maybe… this one…” Kallum said starting to play

“That was a beautiful song… a bit dark… but I loved it.” came Yuki’s voice.

“I’m glad you liked it.” Kallum said as he hugged his wife.

“What were you guys doing out here?” asked Yuki.

“Bonding.” answered Spike.

“Is it because of...?” Yuki said, earning an agreement nod from Spike and Kallum.

“Spike, we are gonna head back to the party… Spike don’t worry… just think of it… whatever has you concerned… it always helps.” said Kallum as he and Yuki walked back to the party.

GREAT HALL - 11:45 PM

Sitting on a table, we find our 5 friends. You might think that the silence coming from the table is due to them being tired, but in reality, the tension at that table could be cut with a knife.

All the girls wanted to say something, but couldn’t fight the right words to express themselves.

“I saw him first!” said Rarity, finally starting the final confrontation.

“Well, I met him first!” said Moondancer.

“I’m the closest to him!” said Sunset.

“I know him better!” said Gabby.

“He’s nicer to me!” said Fluttershy.

And just as World War 3 was about to start at the table, Flash and Twilight came up.

“Girls, girls, I know you all love Spike, but don’t you think there is a better way to settle this… you know… like proper humans?” said Twilight, getting everyone’s attention.

The girls just looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Ooooh, is this a competition I sense?!” said Pinkie as she popped out from under the table.

“Pinkie, what were you doing down there?” asked Flash.

“Looking for Gummy!” said Pinkie.

“You brought the Lizard to the Gala?” Rarity said.

“I brought my hair clip, but I might have accidentally summoned him. HEHE, oopsie.” said Pinkie earning a look from all the girls and Flash.
“But never mind that, you gals want to settle this once and for all right?” Pinkie said.

The girls nodded.

“Weeeeeeelllllll, let me welcome you to the first-ever: KNOW MY MAN, contest!” said Pinkie as the lights went out, and once they turned back on there was a TV game show board and seats in front of them.

“Pinkie where did you get all this?” asked Twilight.

“And how did she get that screen to show the Kahoot lobby?” asked Flash.

“Ahem.” came a voice.

“DISCORD!!!” Twilight and Flash said at the same time.

“What, I enjoy this kind of thing. Why do you think they call me Discord?” Discord said.

“Because you’re a stupid motherfucker who causes way to many problems to normal people?” said Flash, making all the girls laugh.

“You’ve been spending too much time with Spike." Discord said.

“Ok, girls take your seats, as I explain the rules." Pinkie said.

“The rules are simple, it’s Kahoot, the faster you answer the better, the more correct answers the better. The questions will go from easy to extreme… ARE YOU READY!?” said Pinkie getting everyone excited.

The girls just nodded and took their seats.

Unknown to everyone, a shadow just looked down towards the group of girls from a balcony on the second floor.

“You hussies, are not good enough for my Spike… not that hecs mine, but I will conquer his heart… not that I like that stupid idiot… that stupid… hot… idiot… URGH!!!” said the shadow as it disappeared into the crowd.

BACK IN THE GARDENS - WITH SPIKE

Spike was still walking around, thinking, trying to find a solution to his dilemma, but drawing a blank.

“What’s got you down son?” came Dovah’s voice.

“It’s nothing important,” Spike answered

“Well if you’re out here it has to be… and don’t give the same bullshit of I hate parties, cause I know you’re lying… is it the… you know what?” asked Dovah

“It’s related to it,” said Spike

“Go on,” said Dovah

“All this time I’ve tried to make my presence as undetectable as possible so that when the end comes it won’t affect many, but…” Spike began

“It backfires miserably,” said Dovah earning a nod from Spike

“And now, after being in this Academy for all this time, making new friends, going on missions, all my responsibilities… it kind of made me change my idea of just becoming a distant memory,” Spike finished

“Is this about those girls?” Dovah asked, earning another nod from Spike “ I already knew son, and I can see why you are scared,”

“Since when?” asked Spike

“Well, I got the idea during Christmas, when you brought that girl Rarity, to the party, the 2 of you looked close, that’s why I assumed…” Dovah began

“That we were dating? No… I’m not good enough for her… for any of them,” Spike said

“Now that’s the dumbest thing you could’ve said, son,” Dovah said

“And even if I wasn’t… I couldn’t choose between them… I care for all of them…” said Spike

“Well… I know this will sound wrong but… our culture allows… Harems… as long as you can choose a head wife and the other members are ok with it… and the fact that if you get into on it’s forever, as that cancels out divorce,” Dovah said

“What?” said Spike

“In our culture having a harem, although not necessary, gives a man, or woman, status as powerful, but I know it makes you look like a player, but… it’s better than anything, and you don’t have to choose between all of them,” Dovah said

“But…” Spike started

“Kallum and I didn’t have a harem because we didn’t want to, well I just had enough with your mom.

Spike remained silent for a few seconds

“This reminds me of the relationship I had with my brother… we always had chances at having a harem… and let’s be honest, I was better looking so it was easier for me… but we were never said, keen on the idea, even if our dad wanted it because of tradition,” Dovah said looking at Spike “ I see my brother in you… you think the same… act the same… even believe in the same things… I’m not telling you to go for it… but to think of it… I’ll go back to the party,” said Dovah giving Spike a pat in the back and walking away.

“This has to be a joke,” said Spike as he continued walking.

BACK IN THE GREAT HALL

“Ok girls question 1: What hand does Spike right with?” Pinkie read the first question

After 5 seconds Pinkie said

“Oh, that was fast, the right answer is Left hand, let’s see the position table… first place Moondancer, second place: Rarity, Third: Fluttershy, Fourth: Gabby and Fifth: Sunset. Ok next question,”

The girls got ready

“What is Spike’s favorite color?

After about 20 seconds Pinkie said

“And the right answer is Purple. Let’s see the positions… first Rarity… second Sunset… Third Moondancer… four Gabby… and Fluttershy with the first wrong answer as she chose Green.

Fluttershy was unhappy but determined

“What is Spike’s second name?

After 10 seconds this was the result

“The right question is Alexander, First: Moondancer… Second Rarity… Third Gabby… Fourth Fluttershy who is tied with Sunset

“Next question… Where was Spike born?

After 45 seconds

“The right answer is Vanhoover, Coltnada (Canada)… First Rarity, Second Moondancer… Third Sunset, tied with Gabby and Fluttershy.

“Next question, When is his birthdate?”

After 40 seconds this was the result

“The correct answer is 25/Aug/2001… First… there is a triple tie between Rarity, Moondancer, and Fluttershy… Sunset, Gabby… I said Birthdate, not Birthday

Both Gabby and Sunset felt stupid but continued

“Next question, which of the following languages does Spike have trouble talking, French, Arabic, Japanese or Italian?

After 20 seconds

“The right answer is, Arabic, He can understand it but he makes many mistakes when reading and writing, The tie up front remains, but Sunset and Gabby are catching up,”

“Next question, which of the following instruments did Spike learn do to his mom? Guitar, Bass, Drums, or Piano,”

After 1 minute

“The correct answer is, Piano, First place… Moondancer… Second… Sunset… Third Fluttershy… Four Rarity… Fifth Gabby.

“Next question, At what age did Spike do his first mission?

After 50 seconds

“The correct answer is, 13 years of age… Oh, what is this… a fiveway tie up front,”

“Ok then… What is Spike’s favorite band?

After 30 seconds

“The correct answer is, Avenged Sevenfold, but we can allow Breaking Benjamin, and the tie doesn’t move,”

“Ok girls, last question, and it’s a tricky one, How many girlfriends has Spike had?

After 15 seconds

“The answer is 0, he has never been in a romantic relationship… There is a final tie in the first place between… Moondancer and Rarity… second is a tie between Fluttershy, Sunset, and Gabby, well folks that’s it, have a nice rest of your party,” said Pinkie as the light went off and on again.

“Where did she get the answers for the questions? Asked Soarin

“More importantly… when did she do the Kahoot?” asked RD

After thinking about it for a good minute Soarin turned, and hi eyes went wide

“Uhm, babe, can you confirm what I am seeing,” said Soarin using a very formal voice

“Elementary my dear, right in front of us we have Diana Donovan and Cameron Ruff… the coolest of the cool, giving out autographs,” said RD imitating his voice

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Soarin said as they looked at each other, smiled and then ran up to them for their autographs.

“That was a fun game wasn’t it honey? Honey?... Jenny, how much punch did you drink?”

“Just… hiccup… Just a tad,” Jenny said before passing out

“Just great,” said Dovah

“I share your pain father,” said Kallum holding a wasted Yuki.

“Like father like son they say, I just hope Spike is doing ok,” Dovah thought

GARDENS, AGAIN WITH SPIKE

Spike had walked for a while and was now by the fountains, he walked a bit more and then he saw someone he knew needed a hand.

“What’s up with you?” he asked

“Oh, Spike, didn’t hear you coming… I’ve just been thinking,” said Blueblood

“About?” asked Spike

“It’s Trixie… she has… she has been very interested in starting a family, and I just… I just don’t think…” Blueblood said

“Do you love her?” asked Spike

“What?” said Blueblood

“Do you love Trixie?”

“With all my heart, and that’s why I can’t say yes to starting a family,” Blueblood said

“Prince listen…” Spike began

“Nate,” said Blueblood

“What?” said Spike

“Call me Nate,”

“Ok, Nate, listen, I know I’m not the best to give you advice when it comes to relationships but… one thing I do know is… that when a woman tells you, that she wants to have a baby, it’s not because she’s sleeping around… the only reason a woman will tell you that is when they have reached a level of trust with their significant other… A trust so deep and pure that has blossomed into the feeling of security that makes them feel ready to bring a new life into this world,” Spike said.

“I know you’re right Spike… but… we’re just too young to be thinking about stuff like that, I’m not saying that I don’t want to have a family with her… I can imagine a world without her… but I don’t want her to give up her dreams and education, for our child… I just don’t want her to do that…” Blueblood said

“I’m glad to see you care about her… and I understand your concern… but Nate, this isn’t something you have to be afraid of… I’m not telling you to go to her right now and impregnate her… but to not run away from the idea… because once you have accepted the idea… and done the deed… she will be expecting to have your support over those painful and scary 9 months… and even more during those wonderful 18 years as you watch your kids grow… as you teach them to become respectable people… as you laugh… cry... get angry… get worried… and most importantly… become proud of what they have accomplished. Cause the only thing I know is that… after those 9 months have passed, and you hold your little bundle in your arms for the first time… the only thing you can be sure of is that… your love has conquered all, so don’t be afraid of the future… just be sure to have it ready for them… ok? Spike finished

“Thanks, Spike, you really are a good friend… I have to go and find Trixie… I have to tell her…” said Blueblood as he ran away.

“No, thank you, Nate… for listening… Yet I still don’t follow my own advice,” said Spike as he walked away.

Unknown to Spike, a certain someone had listened to his conversation with Blueblood and was just so impressed with his speech, she was having trouble controlling herself.

“Oh, Spike, if you just opened up to me,” said Rarity, as she turned and walked back inside.

Just as Rarity was walking to the table where the food was she spotted Flash sharing a drink with Twilight, she hated interrupting good moments but she had to know what was up, so she went towards them.

“Twilight, may I borrow Flash for a second? Thank you,” Rarity said as she pulled Flash away living Twilight stunned.

Rarity pulled Flash outside where they weren’t going to be disturbed.

“What is it Rarity?” Flash said

“I know something is up with Spike, and I know you know what it is… so … spit it out,” Rarity ordered.

Flash was cornered, on one hand, he didn’t want to betray his best friend, but on the other hand, he knew how Rarity felt about Spike and thought that maybe that could help him emotionally.

“Ok, but you can’t tell this to anyone, not even Twilight, Promise,” Flash said, earning a nod from Rarity.

So Flash explained everything to Rarity, at the end of the story, Rarity was pale and had tears running down her face.

“I don’t know, when but soon… Spike… he’ll be gone… and that’s why he doesn’t want to leave a legacy,” Flash said

“I… had… sniff…no idea... that my Spikey Wickey was… sniff…” Rarity tried to say something but was all choked up.

“Rarity… please don’t hate him… he has his reasons… I’ll you can do… and I ask you to… is to be there for him,” said Flash walking back to Twilight.

Rarity just stood there for a good 5 minutes, sobbing quietly, then she went to look for Spike.

After around 20 minutes of searching, she found Spike at the Kiosk playing the piano.

She walked up to him, listening to the song, and It made her feel terrible, although she recognized it from Spike’s older videos on his channel, it was still hunting.

As soon as he finished Rarity walked up to Spike.

“Spike, may I have a word?”

“Rarity… you heard the song right?” Spike said as he laid his eyes on Rarity’s face, earning a nod from Rarity who was cleaning the tears and makeup out of her face.

“What is it?” asked Spike

“I just want to tell you that…” rarity began.

BOOM

“ROOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRR”

Came from the city below.

Spike and Rarity rushed to the balcony and went pale. From the East, you could see 2 minor leveled Kaijus followed by what looked like 2 battalions of well-armed soldiers. And to the West, there was a bigger Kaiju, this one came alone, but it looked much stronger than the other 2. Luckily they were not close to the city but were moving fast.

“WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON??????”
