Spike Sighed as he made his way down the street. If he was going to help his friend find a date, he'd have to work hard and fast. Looking over the list he let out a sigh. Was there really a pony that matched what Check looked for in a mare? Or… an idea came to his mind causing him to stop and look over at the spa where he knew the ponies he was looking for would be.

"Let's hope the girls are OK with this." He sighed, taking a deep breath he walked in and made his way to the tub area where he thought the girls were.

In the bathing room of the spa, Twilight and her friends were relaxing as they laughed about what they planned to do for an upcoming event.

"Twilight!" Spike called as he walked into the room. "About the upcoming event." He said, walking up to the platform leading into the large tub. "What if you girls went with Check?"

Everypony looked at Spike in confusion. "What do you mean surgercue?" Applejack asked hesitantly.

"Well… I just thought…" Spike started as he thought of how to word it so the girls would be more willing to go along with his idea. "Well… maybe at least one of you. I mean…"

"Spike. Are y'a trying to ask us to go on a date with Check?" Applejack interrupted.

With a sigh Spike sat on the edge of the tub and rested his head in his claws. "I just feel sorry for the guy." He explained. "All the dates he had were disasters. Heck. One was even talked about in the papers."

The girls looked at each other before Rarity turned to Spike. "Has he tried stallions?" Spike nodded. "Well… then I think it's time we step in as his friends and help the pore guy out."

"Do we even know what he's looking for in a partner?" Rainbow asked.

Spike sighed and pulled out the list. "Nice, energetic, enjoys challenges, strong, smart, honest…"

"Y'all notice something about the list?" Applejack interrupted.

"That, if the Elements of Harmony was a pony, she'd be the perfect date for Check?" Pinkie giggled.

"That…" Applejack replied. "And no one pony would be the perfect date. I recon Spike was right to come to us."

"But we hardly know him." Twilight countered. "I say we hold off on the dating talk for a few weeks at least. At least that way we can get to know him better and help him find somepony easier."

The girls looked at each other with uncertainty. "And what if one of us is the right pony?" Rarity challenged, having already started thinking about who among her friends would be a good match… not including Rainbow Dash. Rarity had her suspension on who the pegasus would end up with. And it wasn't a stallion.

The girls looked at each other for a moment as the question hung in the air. Spike inwardly jumped for joy as the idea had been planted in their heads. Now all he had to do was tend to his new 'garden' and watch the love grow.

Meanwhile Check sat and tried reading as the voice in his head went on about dating and how boring they tended to be. He had to admit. The voice did have good points. But he'd do his best to ignore the voice when it got to the private parts.

After a bit however. The voice changed topic. "Soooooooo… any plans this week? I hear there's a big event coming up in Canterlot. Who knows. Maybe you might get lucky."

"I doubt I'll be invited." Check replied, turning the page of his book with a wing tip.

"Even if I was to tell you, it's where our next round takes place?" The voice beamed.

Snapping the book closed, Check huffed. "Fine. What is it this time?"

"What was it called again? A…. Mystery? And if you fail. I'll be nice and tag on a bonus round. A combat round."

Check sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Fine. How long do I have to prepare?"

"Depends. How soon Twilight gets the letter."

Check took a deep breath. He felt a headache coming. And this was promising to be a repeating issue. Getting up Check started for the door. "Time for a cut scene." He sighed.

Author's Note

A short chapter. But that is mostly to prepare for the hell they are going into. At least mentally.
You can probably guess what it is.
Question is... who will be his date? And can he solve the mistery in time? Why are the girls hesitant about one of their friends dating?
