It had been a pretty crazy day in Canterlot as the wedding wedding reception for Shining and Cadence was in full swing. By now the moon was already up in the night sky and everyone were probably dancing at the reception. However not everyone was at the party.
In the Canterlot Gardens Scootaloo was sitting by herself on a bench watching the Stars of the night sky. She was thinking about all the recent events that happened on this day. Sure the day had many different surprises, but it all ended well in the end.
As she continued looking at the sky she heard a familiar male voice from behind her saying to her, "So this is where you've been all this time huh Scootaloo."
The young pegasus turned around to see Spike still in his tux and was looking at her as she was staring at the sky. The young dragon walked up to her and sat next to her and watched the the stars with her. Silence fell after that as the two didn't spoke to each other while the stars in the night sky twinkled. Then the silence was broken by Scoots as she spoke to Spike, "So… how's the party going?"
Spike looked at Scoots and replied to her with a smile, "Pretty well. Shining managed to apologize to Twilight about the whole not knowing Chrysalis' plan and everything."
Scootaloo smiled and said to Spike, "That's great to know at least they made up after the whole thing earlier today."
Spike nodded in agreement and began to think about the day's event too and Boy it will be a day he will have to remember for the rest of his life. Suddenly an idea flew into his brain as he looked at Scootaloo and asked the filly, "Hey Scootaloo would you like to dance with me?"
Scootaloo looked at Spike with a surprised look on her face as she was never asked to dance with someone before in her life. But with Spike this was first as she responded to Spike's request, "Sure thing Spike."
Spike got up from his spot along with Scootaloo as she got up from her spot as well. The filly brought up her hands which Spike took with his hands as the two looked at each other and red streaks streaked across their faces making them feel a bit sheepish. But then the two started to dance a waltz at a slow pace as Spike started first while Scootaloo followed mirroring his moves.
The two dancers continued their private dance under the bright light of the moon. Spike and Scoots had never danced together before and yet… something felt right about this too. There were even feeling that the two never felt before and it was like they were meant to dance to together or something like that.
As they danced a bit Spike noticed Scootaloo wasn't a bad dancer as she was in sync with his foot steps. Then he said to her with a smile, "Hey your not a bad dancer Scootaloo."
Scootaloo smiled and said back to Spike, "Thanks Spike. Your not a bad dancer yourself."
As they danced they gazed at each other as they saw the sparkle in each other's eyes. It's like nothing else even mattered anymore, they just continued to have their slow dance as it seemed that everything just disappeared around them and then reappeared as a special ball room. Everything was just pink or shade of magenta with red hearts floating around them.
The romantic moment ended when they overheard Twilight calling out to Spike. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were looking for Scootaloo as they were calling her name.
“I guess we should go back in there right?” Spike said.
“Yeah, wouldn’t want them to think we’re gone,” the young pegasus says as they both made their way back to the others.
As the two walked they remained silent for a while until Spike breaks silence. “Say, you think that... well you and I... might be each other’s type or... well something,” Spike says a little nervously as some of his words were stuck in his throat.
“If... and just an if... you and I were a thing?” Scootaloo asked to see if that was what Spike meant.
“Well yeah... I mean it’s just an if,” Spike points out.
“Yeah... ‘if’,” she repeats.
Then the dragon goes on and says “A huge if.”
Both of them laughed a bit at the thought as they continued to walk. Then Scootaloo asks. “It’s not like that that will ever happen right?”
“Yeah... never we’re just friends.”
“Yeah... friends,” she says as they went back to silence, a blush creeping on both of their faces.
Later on they would split up, saying their quick goodbyes. Spike would meet up with Twilight as Scootaloo joins her fellow Cutie Mark Crusader partners. The Wedding was about to start (well... again) and every pony was already in their positions for the special evening. A pony named Octavia was handling the music and the CMCs were the flower girls. Twilight was gonna walk with Shining Armor down the red carpet and Spike was going down with Cadence.
Every pony got in their seats as the wedding began. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo walked down the carpet as they tossed out the flowers, mostly sunflowers, roses, and some violets. After that Twilight's friends along with a few stallions walked down the carpet as well. That's when the main event finally began. Octavia plays on her cello the original piece of 'Here Comes The Bride' as Cadence walks down the isle in her beautiful white dress. Everyone looks towards her as if the alicorn princess was a goddess (well I guess an alicorn is kinda a god or goddess or so). As the alicorn makes it to Shining Armor along with the other ponies Granny Smith says the usual words said in weddings. Meanwhile while no pony noticed, Scootaloo took a qick glance at Spike as he also does the same and they both smiled.
Now the wedding was almost complete, all they have to do was complete their vows. Every pony was smiling as the two ponies getting married were going to blissfully spend time with each other, Twilight was excited for her brother and her sister-in-law as she smiles as well.
As the two ponies say their ‘I do’s’ the couple kiss each other passionately as they were officially mare and colt. Every pony cheered and shouted for the bride and groom.
Later on after the wedding every pony had celebrated the couple as there was some foods, some drinks, and even some cake that were made by Applejack and Pinkie Pie.
After the they were done they went outside as they see Shining Armor and Cadence step out to a balcony to wave to a crowd of cheering ponies. Rainbow Dash would soon be doing her special Sonic Rainboom as the newly wedded couple share another kiss. Sooner or later the couple would be in the courtyard, where the newlyweds start dancing.
At the end of the party, Shining Armor thanks Twilight and they hug. Shining and Cadence would soon go to their royal carriage as they were getting ready to leave Canterlot as mare and colt. Before departing, Cadance tosses her bouquet to the onlookers, which Rarity, in a screaming fit, snatches from the other bridesmaids. Now it was time for Twilight and her friends happily watch the royal carriage depart as they wave at the newlyweds.
Meanwhile Spike and Scootaloo would meet up again as every pony was leaving since the party was done.
“Hey,” Spike greets as he walks with Scootaloo.
“Hey,” she giggles a bit.
“What’s so funny?”
“I’m a little surprised that you would still try to meet up with me, even after the wedding,” Scootaloo says as she giggles a little bit more.
“Well you are my friend so...” Spike says as he chuckles nervously.
“Well I guess you would have a point.”
As the two walk they remained silent for a little bit until Spike spoke up. “It’s a beautiful night out here huh?” he asked.
“Yeah, I guess it is,” said the young pegasus.
“You guess? Even I could tell that it could be a romantic setting... uh not that it is or... I’m just saying,” Spike says as he blushes a little.
“Well... I mean it is not that... um... well it’s not that I’m interested in romantic stuff or something,” Scootaloo hesitantly said. “Well it’s just that I’m not really the type to date someone... for right now I mean... even if I wanted to it’s not like I would have a chance.”
“What do you mean?” Spike asked.
“Well I’ve never really been... attractive to other colts since I’m not that into what some other fillies like. Some even made front of me for it,” she explains as she scowls at the thought being a laughing stock to other fillies. “I don’t know though but... maybe they’re right...”
“Oh come on, do you really believe what they have to say?”
“Well...”
“Look Scootaloo if any pony is not willing to love you just for you then that’s their problem,” Spike says as he encourages the filly to not feel ashamed. “And besides you look great...oop,” as those last words came out of his mouth he felt like that might’ve been a mistake and he puts a hand over his mouth to covered as if he said something offensive.
“Really? You actually think that I’m... cute?” Scootaloo says as she blushes at Spike’s words.
Spike blushes himself as well as he then speaks up once again. “yes,” he says as he blushes a little bit harder.
“oh uhh... thank you,” Scootaloo says as Spike’s words surprises her and she blushes into a cherry red. “This might be random but... do you think that we would... be together?”
“Well... maybe. I mean we do have some things in common,” Spike said.
“Like what?”
“Well we’re both incapable of flying.”
“I still don’t know why you don’t have any wings,” Scootaloo says as she giggles once again just like earlier.
“Honestly, I don’t know either... I guess some dragons are born without them I guess, though that is kinda silly,” Spike said as he and and the young pegasus chuckled and giggled together. As the somewhat quiet laughter died down Twilight called out to Spike as she was ready to go back to their home of the tree house.
“Spike, ready to go home?”
“Well I should probably get going,” he said.
The filly nods as she says “Yeah I should leave too, Rainbow Dash is giving me a ride back to Cloudsdale so... I can’t miss it ya know.”
“Yeah... well I’ll see you next time Scoots,” Spike says as he calls Scootaloo by her new nickname.
“Scoots... heh I like it,” she says.
As both of them say their goodbyes they walk away to get back to their homes. Spike meets up with Twilight and they walk.
“Hey Twilight,” the purple dragon says.
“Hey Spike. Had fun hanging out with Scootaloo?” Twilight says as she teases Spike and Scootaloo.
“Wait... Wha... do you have to say it out loud?” Spike asks as a blush creeps onto his face.
“What? Don’t worry Spike I won’t tell if you don’t want me to,” Twilight says as she smiles innocently.
“You sure you wanna make that promise after you blew it last time?” Spike questioned.
“Spike, it was only one time. Plus I almost lasted that entire day,” Twilight says as she shot Spike a glare.
“Whatever you say Twilight,” Spike rolled his eyes. “And besides it’s not like we like each other that much or anything so... just forget about it.”
“Ok Spike... for now.”
“I heard that,” he says as he caught what Twilight was trying to whisper.
Well after that Spike, Twilight, and the rest of her friends were on their way back to their homes once they hop on the train to leave Canterlot and to make it back to Ponyville. On the ride home Spike was just thinking about Scootaloo. As for the young filly, she was with Rainbow Dash as she was going to spend the night with her in Cloudsdale as she was thinking about Spike in return. Who knows, maybe they will become couples one day. Maybe they’ll even get married. But I guess only time will tell.
