My Little Pony: Friendship Was Magic

Chapter 11: I'M JEALOUS!

It was a lovely day for everypony. Everypony were busy off with their important jobs, all but one. A white little unicorn was sobbing her eyes on her fainting couch in her boutique. Why was she? What must possibly be the matter this time?

''Gee,'' Pinkie Pie rolled her eyes. ''Talk about a drama queen. Anyways, I got to go! I need to visit Maud and her boyfriend!''

The bell of the boutique's door rang as some pony entered it. It was a pink unicorn with purple mane with teal highlights.

''Rarity?'' Starlight called. ''Are you-Oh.''

She caught Rarity lying on her couch in the middle of the room, balling her eyes out. Starlight trotted on over to her to see what was the matter.

''Is anything the matter, Rarity?'' she asked politely.

Rarity stood up from her couch as her friend sat beside her to pat her on the back. She wiped back her tears.

''Oh,'' she said. ''It's nothing, dear. Now, what was the problem that you wanted me for?''

Starlight looked back at her empty basket but shook it off. Friends come first, right?

''The problem is,'' she replied. ''Why are you crying?''

''Starlight,'' said Rarity. ''Are you and Sunburst somewhat...uh, um...dating?''

Starlight's colour turned pink then usual.

''Uh...no, why?''

Rarity opened her mouth but got no words out of it as a rainbow maned blue pegasus mare stormed inside the boutique.

''Hi, Rarity!'' she greeted. ''I need a bucket of , some fabric and candles, STAT!''

Rarity started to cry again. Starlight patted her on the back. Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow and flew down to the ground.

''Did I miss something?'' she asked.

''No,'' Rarity uttered. ''Just...how can you be so lucky, Rainbow Dash?''

''What do you mean?''

''You have a loving boyfriend and have two girl friends crushing over you. How can somepony be loving a ruffian?'' She bit her lip. ''I mean, why not a sophisticated pony?''

''Gee,'' she scrunched her nose. ''I don't know. I guess it's because I have a personality, unlike you...and I don't push other ponies, or creatures, away. You like ponies that don't even exist in your love life and you choose them based on their looks or something like that...''

''I'M JEALOUS!'' Rarity shouted.

Starlight widened her eyes. Rainbow Dash was taken aback by this.

''Pardon?'' the rainbow mare excused herself.

''I'm jealous!'' she repeated. ''Somepony loves you but not I! I still don't get it! I still don't have a coltfriend and you all do, even Twilight has one now! Well, except for Applejack...but Trender Hoof liked her and not me! Why, why, why?''

She grabbed onto her friends leg and started sobbing. Rainbow Dash tried to shook her off.

''Listen,'' she chuckled. ''I'm not the romance expert. I thought you were. But maybe everypony likes me because I'm awesome?''

She put a hoof to her chest confidently. Starlight stared at this action and raised an eyebrow. Rainbow Dash chuckled.

''I mean,'' she cleared her throat. ''Hey, wait. Okay, now I feel bad for Spike. He tries so hard to impress you but you always push him away like he is nothing. You make him take out the trash or something. You tried to impress your love interests but we all know they wouldn't even pay attention. I mean, half of them have fiancés or marefriends, or half them are selfish and you barely even know the real them! Remember Prince Blueblood? You liked him for his fame and looks but then you realised he was a total jerk.''

''Spike...?''

''Oh, please. Please don't say you still don't know about Spike's feelings towards you. Literally everypony knows! Also, may I ask why you always treat Spike differently?''

''I do know about his feelings,'' she stated. ''But he is only a baby and a different species.''

''So what?'' she shrugged. ''Discord is a whole different creature compared to Fluttershy and he is like a thousand years old. Plus, he is immortal. Although, he might just click his talons and give Fluttershy immortality as well.''

''I just always saw Spike as a little brother.''

''And little brothers aren't meant to do everything for you. Take Twilight and Spike for example. They are proper siblings but...Spike does things for her but only because he enjoys being her number one assistant and it is only for small chores.''

''Hey!'' Rarity exclaimed. ''Who said Spike doesn't enjoy doing things for me?''

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. ''Really? Okay, maybe he never shows because he is distracted by your beauty to even care that he is being used...''

Rarity sighed in defeat. ''You are right. I must talk to him!''

She hopped off from her couch and a yellow light struck behind her.

''That is the spirit!'' Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

''Also,'' Starlight joined in the conversation. ''None of us are peer pressuring you to date Spike if you don't want to, like you all did to Twilight and Flash.''

''I know,'' said Rarity.

Rarity was looking everywhere for her dragon friend in Ponyville. She visited the gem cave since he loves gems. She visited the spa as he does like doing spa treatments after a long day. She visited the of friendship but he wasn't there. She popped her head from one of Applejack's trees but he wasn't there. She went to Starlight's bedroom if he was by any chance in her closet, which she didn't have, but what if he is in her drawer?

Finally, she found him and he was sharing a big bowl of ice-cream with his griffon friend. Rarity recognised her when she needed to apologise to Spike because he declined Rarity's request to the gem cave and then she became jealous and blah, blah, blah. Wait...is the same thing going to happen again?''

''Spike!'' Rarity called and hugged him from the back. She sighed in relief. ''I was looking everywhere for you!''

''Oh,'' Spike turned his head to her. ''Hi, Rarity!''

''Hi, Rarity!'' Gabby exclaimed.

''Oh,'' Rarity chuckled. ''Hello there, Gabby. I see that the last time we met, it wasn't on the friendliest of terms.''

Gabby and Spike laughed. Rarity sort of felt jealous of their connection but shook it off.

''Anyways, Spike. I need to talk to you right now!''

''Right now?'' he raised an eyebrow. ''But...I'm here with Gabs.''

''Gabs?'' she spat. ''What a odd nickname. Anyways, just come with me!''

Spike tried to protest further but Rarity had already taken him from the waist. Gabby just sat there in silence.

* * *

''Rarity,'' said Spike. ''Don't you think that was a bit rude to just leave Gabby there like that?''

Rarity sighed. ''I am sorry, Spike, but I need to apologise!''

''For what?'' he raised an eyebrow. ''Oh, wait. Don't tell me this will be like last time.''

''Oh no,'' she chuckled. ''I am just here to apologise for...'' She turned away in shame. ''I'm sorry for always pushing you away when you had always tried so hard to get me to like you but the reason why was because you are only a baby and another species but then I looked back at Fluttershy and Discord. One of them are a whole different species, with a dark past, immortal and a thousand years old. I'm sorry, Spike. I'm so so so so so so so sorry!''

She pounded to the floor and grabbed on her dragon friends leg.

''Wow,'' he uttered. ''I didn't see that one coming but of course I forgive you, Rarity.''

She sniffed. ''Really? Do you still like me? I see that you and Gabby are getting closer and closer everyday and well, you could say that...that...''

Spike widened his eyes. ''You are jealous?''

Rarity turned away from him and gently nodded.

''You like me?'' he muttered. He couldn't believe it. After all these years of being high over heels for her, she finally accepted his feelings? ''Back?''

''I...I...'' Rarity didn't know how to answer that. She felt so bad for pushing her little Spikey-Wikey away after all these years. Did she actually just gain feelings for him after the whole Gabby incident?

Spike smirked a little. He sort of found her staring into space cute.

They both didn't see a tall white alicorn hiding inside a bush with a small violet alicorn figure next to her.

''Spike,'' Rarity slowly said and took a deep . ''I am sorry.''

''You already said that?'' he raised an eyebrow. ''But...'do you like me?' is the question.''

''YES!''

Spike was taken aback by this. The tone, the way she said it in, and the whole thing. She did...? Wait, but...

Rarity was just as shocked as Spike was.

''I mean,'' she calmed down. ''I do now...ever since the whole Gabby incident! I realised then how important you were to me and I just threw you all away just like that. I'm so sorry, Spike! I-''

She was suddenly caught off as Spike quickly placed his lips onto hers. Rarity wasn't the only one shocked but the princesses inside the bush had their mouths open in agape. Since when did this cute little baby dragon have the guts to do something like that?

Rarity could have sworn there was a spark between them. A spark she didn't have from any other stallion because maybe they weren't the right one for her?

They both slowly pulled away from each other and caught a slight blush in each other's cheeks. Spike still couldn't believe he just did that.

''Wow,'' they both uttered in unison.

''Spike?''

The white unicorn and dragon looked away from each other as they heard someone call out his name. The alicorns from the bush also peaked over to see who said that. It was Gabby the Griffon with a disheartened look.

Princess Celestia whispered to Twilight. ''Does she like Spike too?''

Twilight's only response was a shrug and looked into her binoculars she had just conjured up with her magic.

Gabby turned away from him. ''Spike...how could you?!''

Spike chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. ''What do you mean?''

Gabby turned to him coldly and on the verge of tears. ''THE KISS?!?! WHAT WAS THAT FOR? IN FRONT OF ME TOO?''

Rarity and Spike stared at each other. Spike slapped his face. Rarity dug herself a hole in the ground so she could place her head in.

''You like me too,'' he stated. ''Right?''

Princess Celestia was about to get out of their hiding position but Twilight stopped her.

''Wow,'' he uttered. ''Honestly, I should have guessed but...''

Gabby turned away from him and flew away from the two. Spike was about to after her when Twilight stepped on his tail. Spike fell to the ground and looked behind him.

Princess Celestia also got out from the bush. ''And you told me not to.''

Twilight rolled her eyes.

''You saw everything?'' Spike widened his eyes. ''Why would you eavesdrop? Isn't that a wrong thing to do?!''

Twilight darted her eyes and accusingly pointed her hoof at the elder alicorn.

''it was her!''

''What?'' Princess Celestia was taken aback by this.

''Anyways,'' said Twilight. ''I think that was adorable and I'm very glad Rarity cleared things up between you two but what about Gabby?''

Rarity got her head out from the ground and stared at Spike guiltily.

He sighed. ''I'll go talk to her.''

He opened his wings and got ready in position to after his friend. In the meantime, Princess Celestia started up a conversation.

''Do you like cake?''

''Who doesn't?'' said Twilight. ''But we aren't cake crazy like you.''

''Hey!''

Gabby was at the with suitcases to wait for the train to Griffonstone. She was letting lose tears drop to the ground.

''Of course he would like her!'' she exclaimed. ''She's pretty but I'm just a griffon who has the reputation as mean and grumpy!''

Doctor Hooves was sitting next to her with a newspaper and slowly slid away from her and got back to his newspaper. Gabby rolled her eyes.

''Gabby!''

Gabby's ears perked up at the familiar voice calling out for her name. She bit her lip and hopped off from her waiting seat and hesitantly jogged on the spot. She looked around to avoid him. She zoomed into Doctor Hooves' face.

''Quick!'' she yelled. ''I need to get out of here!''

''Gabby!'' Spike finally approached the . ''Wait!''

''Oh,'' she grunted. ''What do you want?''

''Gabby,'' he said. ''Please forgive me! It's all complicated, okay? I liked Rarity for years and she started to like me back. I didn't know you liked me too and I...um.''

''You liked her for years?!''

''Yeah,'' he sheepishly replied. ''Ever since I came to Ponyville and first saw her.''

She whispered something inaudible under her breath so Spike wouldn't hear.

''Uh,'' Spike uttered. ''Come again?''

''I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME!''

Unfortunately, everypony who was waiting for the train had heard that. Gabby hastily shrunk to the ground.

''I...I think you got the wrong idea out of me,'' Spike stated.

Gabby bit her lip and rubbed the back of her neck. ''Yeah.''

''Well,'' he said. ''Now this is awkward but I hope that doesn't mean we still can't be friends. I always have so much fun hanging out with you! You are amazing!''

Gabby blushed a bit but hugged him tight. Spike accepted her embrace.

''So,'' said Spike. ''We are still friends?''

''Of course we are!'' she exclaimed and nudged him. ''You big silly goofball.''

They continued to share a warm embrace, whereas the three ponies watched them.

''Welp!'' Twilight yelped. ''Glad that is sorted. So does that mean you and Spike are dating, Rarity?''

Rarity blushed. ''I...I guess so.''

''Oh, yeah!'' Rainbow Dash flew over to them and exclaimed.

''Good,'' said Celestia. ''Now I can finally stuff my face in some cake after a long day.''

She teleported away and the three young ponies rolled their eyes and laughed.
