It was a nice day inside the castle of Friendship as Rainbow Dash and Twilight were still going over how Spike reacted when she told him Spike was the father. They were wondering what to do. Rainbow started to feel a little morning sickness as she was going over this, and Twilight could tell right away.

"Hey, how are you feelin’?" Twilight asked her friend. "Any morning sickness?"

"Shh-shh-shh!" Rainbow said urgently as she didn't want it to be so loud. "The guys don’t know yet do they?"

"No!" Twilight said. "And Fluttershy still thinks that Starlight’s pregnant."

"Yeah, that’s right." Starlight said as she came in, overhearing the conversation. "Fluttershy does still think I’m pregnant. She hasn’t asked me how I’m feeling or offered to carry my bags. Boy, I feel bad for the mare who ends up with her.” She quickly dodged an angry look from the rainbow maned pegasus. "After you of course."

"Don’t worry! I promise that you will only have to be pregnant for a few more hours." Rainbow reassured her. at that moment, Spike came in the throne room.

"Hey, Girls!" he said, feeling a little chirper today. "What's up?"

"Hey Spike, what would you do if someone that you slept with told you that she was pregnant?" Rainbow asked out of the blue.

"Rainbow!" Twilight said, trying to cover it up!

"Who called here? Did she sound cool?" Spike asked warily. "Huh? Did-did-did she have an accent? I gotta make a call!" He started to leave the castle. "I should have never walked into that Ponyville Mall!"

"Oh, Spike! Spike! No, it’s not you!" Rainbow said to calm him down. "You didn’t get anypony pregnant!"

"Oh. Why would you scare me like that?" Spike asked shocked. "What's going on?"

"Starlight's really the one who is pregnant!" Rainbow said.

"Rainbow Dash, a minute please!" Twilight said as she dragged Rainbow out of the room. " What are you doing?! Spike knows YOU'RE pregnant! The only reason is..." She saw her friend make a "Button zipped" gesture and realized she was playing with him. "Oh, now I get it!" She said, now calm. "Sneaky!" they both went in the room before Spike.

"Oh yeah. That’s me." Starlight said, before anyone had a chance to say anything.

Spike was shocked at first, but then changed to happiness as he realized that one of his closest friends was with a baby. "Oh good." he said with relief. "Uh, Starlight? Listen uh sit down. I-I got something I want to say."

"All right." She said as she sat down before the drake and was ready to hear what he had to say.

(Spike's POV.)

"Any decent dragon would do the same thing if they had a friend who was in the same position as her, so just do it already." Spike's thoughts said to him. "Stop overthinking this, Spike. It's not that big of a deal. Well, it sorta is a big deal, but still, just ask her already! Do as you always do, never think about what you're doing and just go for it. Ok, I'm gonna do it... Maybe… Ok deep breath, Spike. It's now or never!"

"It’s a scary world out there, especially for a single mom. Y’know, now I always thought you and I had a special bond so…Starlight Glimmer, will you marry me?" Spike asked as he got down on one knee and pulled out the ring he bought at a jeweler. Starlight Glimmer was an absolutely divine mare, as well as one of his closest friends...and he thought very highly of her. Even though he hadn't admitted it, he knew he had feelings for her. If he told the group, it wouldn't be as personal to him, and things could get a little messy, so he kept it to himself for all this time. Now was his chance, all she had to say was "Yes."

(Starlight Glimmer's POV.)

"Alright, now this has gone a little too far." Starlight's thought raced in her head as she wondered now what she was going to do...now that Spike confessed his love for her. "Rainbow Dash had better start telling people that SHE'S the one who's pregnant and not me, and I don't think I can cover for her for much longer. The only reason Spike wants to marry me is because he doesn't want me to be a single mom, and he wants to give me a helping hand. Actually, now that I think about it, that's pretty sweet of him. He's always been a really nice guy, and he loves his friends more than air. I could use someone like that in my life. I've only ever gone out with friends like Trixie who is great and powerful. And, I did go out with Sunburst, and he wasn't a loser. He was great, and I really did like him… But to hell with that, he's living it up in The Crystal Empire and he probably won't be coming back any time soon. But, I know Spike will always be by my side, we've always had a special bond…"

"Oh my God," Twilight said in shock, rolling her eyes. This was going too far! Somebody had to tell him, and it was gonna be her. "Spike-"

"Of course, I'll marry you!" Starlight said gleefully, tearing up with joy after taking a moment to make her decision. Spike watched with a grin on his face as Starlight slipped the ring on her horn.

"You can't marry him!" Twilight broke in, trying to keep them from making a big mistake.

"Hey, Egghead your day is over, it's MY turn!" Starlight told her teacher before planting a kiss on Spike's lips. The alicorn watched as the pair wrapped their arms around each other and sank into the kiss lovingly. Although it was sweet, she knew she couldn't stand there and let this happen.

"Starlight!" She said loudly, glaring at her friend.

"What, why can't she marry me? I'll treat her very well and make sure she gets all the support she needs." Spike told his sister while he held Starlight's hand.

Before Twilight had a chance to say anything, her pupil spoke up. "I can and I will marry you, Spike the Brave and Glorious Dragon!" She stated firmly, then she kissed her new lover again as he bushed a cute shade of red.

Twilight had enough, she couldn't keep the secret anymore. "Spike, Starlight is not-"

"Twilight! Can I speak to you in the hall for a second? PLEASE?" Starlight said frantically as she jumped up from her seat.

"No Starlight, Spike has to know th-" The violet alicorn started.

"Ok, come with me!" Starlight cut her teacher off then dragged her by her arm into the hall.

"Starlight, what the hell are you doing?!" Twilight questioned her friend while shutting the door behind them. "The only reason he wants to marry you is because he thinks you are pregnant, which you aren't. This is a BIG mistake, so just call this whole thing off before it gets any wor-"

"But I think I love him Twilight." Starlight said, cutting her off for the fourth time in the last five minutes.

Twilight looked into Starlight's eyes, trying to study her emotions. Was she being genuine, or was this just Starlight being herself? After taking a pause, Twilight opened her mouth. "What do you mean?"

"I love him Twi. We've been friends for more than a few years now, and we've always had a special bond that I just can't explain." she told her teacher. "If I picture myself ending up with someone, it's not Sunburst, or Double Diamond, I picture myself with Spike. He's caring, he's funny, he's loveable, and you know this as well as I do, he's a total babe. What more could a mare want? He is perfect, and I'd be willing to spend my life with him."

Twilight took in and processed every word of Starlight's speech. Maybe she and Spike were meant to be, they do care about each other a whole lot, they're like two peas in a pod. But there were still problems with this spontaneous marriage proposal.

"Starlight, Spike is gonna notice when you don't have a baby in nine months." She reminded her.

"It's Spike we're talking about, Twi. He won't suspect a thing. Even if he did, he'll learn the truth eventually, Rainbow won't be able to keep this a secret much longer. I'm hoping she'll tell everyone soon, I feel bad lying to him like this." Starlight said.

"I don't feel great about lying to him and the others either. Just like Spike, the others have no idea about what's going on. It's really hard being the only ones who know, but I guess you're right. They'll find out soon enough, just not quite yet." Twilight agreed.

Starlight nodded her head. "Alright well this has been a fun talk, but I gotta go back in there so I can be with my new fiancé," she said, then paused. "Ooh, I like the sound of that. Fiancé. Fi-an-cé. Glimmy the fiancé!" She giggled joyfully at her new title, then headed back inside to meet up with Spike. Twilight took in a deep breath and closed the door to her throne room.

At that moment, Rainbow Dash came out, overhearing the whole thing that just happened. “Oh.” She said excitedly. “A fake proposal. Very chill.”

“This is NOT fake at all!” Spike said shocked and serious. “I think I really love her.”

Rainbow gawked at that. She didn’t think she was going to be replaced...especially since it was so early! “What?!” She cried out. “Spike!”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Spike said, calming Rainbow down. “Hold on! Hold on!” He got out another ring and presented it to her. Rainbow’s mouth was agape as she saw the ring shining brightly before her eyes! She didn’t expect a proposal like this, and what she wouldn’t expect was that Spike would ask Rainbow Dash to join in on him and Starlight’s marriage.

“Spike...” she said in shock. “A...Are you...?”

“It’s a scary world out there, especially for a single friend” he said. “Y’know, now I always thought you, Starlight and I all had a special bond, ever since you two confessed your feelings for me.” Starlight and Rainbow both blushed in shock as they smiled brightly like christmas trees in the night sky. “It all comes down to this because since then, I have a feeling we were meant to be together since we hung out the past few years. Rainbow Dash, will you join me and Starlight’s marriage?”

Rainbow Dash was utterly shocked as she was being proposed to, and Starlight smiled brightly and teared with joy as he said those words. Rainbow Dash breathed, hyperventilating in excitement! She looked at her friend, who smiled and nodded in agreement. “Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh!” Rainbow squealed with glee. “NO! I mean....YES!”

“Oh Spike!” Starlight said in excitement as well as she and Rainbow hugged the drake tightly with all their might. “That’s the sweetest thing you ever said to us!”

“I KNOW!” Spike said happily as he blushed with a lovesick feeling!

“Now, you have 2 fiancés!” Rainbow said as they continued to hug their soon to be husband.

“Okay, since I proposed to you and you...” he said as he pointed to his soon to be brides. “...that leaves only one question: Where SHOULD we have the wedding?”

Starlight and Rainbow both shared a giggle. “Calm down, Spike.” Starlight told him. “You just proposed to us.”

“But, we won’t be waiting for long.” Spike said to the girls. “Will we?”

“Of course not, Spiky!” Rainbow said as she and Starlight rubbed his scales and back nicely.

“Now, where’s Rarity?” Spike asked. “I think the others need to know...that we’re getting married!” The two fiancés smiled and nodded as they couldn’t agree more than to tell their friends about this momentous occasion that would happening very soon!
