Spike sat alone in his jail cell. His thoughts were moving at a million miles a minute. His trial was tomorrow.

"What am I gonna do?"

Spikes thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a tray being pushed into his cell.

"Dinner time you beast." the guard snarled. Spike immediately dug into the food. It may have tasted like shit but Spike had barely had anything to eat all day. He scarfed down the tiny meal before pushing the tray back out into the hall. Spike laid back down on the bed, somehow hungrier then he had been before the meal. His mind thought back to the beginning of the week when everything was fine.

5 days ago

Spike studied himself in the mirror.

"Don't panic Spike, you're only going on a date with the woman of your dreams,"

Spike had done it, he finally managed to score a date with Rarity.

Spike flew downstairs where his boss/adoptive sister Twilight was waiting.

"Oh my Celestia, look at you," Twilight said in awe.

"How do I look?" Spike asked.

"Like a million bits. Is that cologne I smell?" Twilight asked. Spike embarrassingly rubbed his head.

"Maybe..." Twilight burst into a fit of giggles.

"Man, Rarity sure has changed you, never known you to wear cologne." Twilight teased.

"Yeah well, best get to used to it." Spike said before looking at his watch.

"FUCK, I'M LATE!" Spike shouted as he rushed out the door of the castle.

"Go get her tiger!" Twilight shouted as Spike took off to the coffee shop.

Spike landed right outside the coffee shop and scanned the area for Rarity.

"OVER HERE SPIKEY WIKEY!" An all to familiar voice called. Spike smiled as he looked over to the source of the voice.

"Shall we go inside?" Rarity asked. Spike was starstruck at Rarity's appearance. Spike concluded that she had a wax done at the spa because her skin seemed to glisten in the summer sun. Her lips were as red as the rose, her cheeks flushed pink with blush, and her beautiful hair tied up into a ponytail.

"Uhhhhh,"

"Hello? Ground Control to Major Spike are you on Earth?" Rarity asked snapping her finger snapping Spike out of his trance.

"S-sorry!" Spike cried. Rartiy began to giggle.

"All these years and you're still the same dragon." Rarity said with a smile. Spike began to turn red in embarrassment.

"L-let's just get inside,"

Spike had remembered the day he first laid eyes on Rarity. He was only 14 years old and she was 15. He and Twilight had to come to town on business involving the Summer Sun Celebration and Rarity was in charge of decorations. To say it was love at first sight was an understatement. Spike fell head over hells the moment he first saw her. In the 7 years since the two of them have been through a lot. Between Luna's rise, Discord's return, the Crystal Empire, that time Spike became overcome with greed and turned into a rampaging monster, even getting into some crazy shenanigans with another version of Rarity in an alternate universe populated by humans. As the years would go by Rarity would slowly find herself thinking Spike was cute, cute became handsome, handsome became hot, and hot became really hot. Both figuratively and literally. Rarity was the one who made the first move. She had asked Spike to help her out with measurements so she could make clothes for Ember. While measuring, Rarity's desires overtook her and she kissed Spike on the spot. Of course Spike fainted immediately afterwards but after coming to, a giggling Rarity asked him out on a date.

"What can I do for you?" The barista asked.

"One Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte and once Iced Caffe Mocha with two pumps of caramel and two pumps of Hazelnut." Spike said. The couple paid and got their drinks before sitting outside.

"So I'm working on opening a new shop in the Crystal Empire." Rarity explained.

"Really? That's wonderful! How's it coming along?" Spike asked.

"Well I just got the permits I needed to start construction. I'm hunting for a company that can build. What about you? Anything going on in your life?" Rarity asked.

"Well you know how it is. Same old same old. I haven't gotten used to these things yet though," Spike said gesturing at his wings. Rarity giggled for a bit.

"Would you be willing to fly me around on the next date?" Rarity asked.

"T-the next date?" Spike asked blushing.

"Yeah. Surely you didn't think this would be a one time thing," Rarity said in a teasing tone. Spike began to turn redder and redder.

"I mean well I-" Spike was cut off when Rarity gently held his hand.

"You're to adorable," Rarity said with a warm smile before leaning over and kissing Spike. Unlike the first kiss, Spike didn't faint and this time leaned into the kiss.

"SPIKE THE DRAGON!" A booming voice called taking both Spike and Rarity by surprise. The two looked over and saw a police officer approaching.

"Are you Spike the Dragon?" The officer asked.

"Y-yeah I am. Is there something wrong?" Spike asked.

"Cuff him boys." Spike was immediately slammed onto the table by two more cops who proceeded to cuff him.

"HEY GET OFF HIM!" Rarity cried.

"Spike, you are under arrest for the murder of Fleur De Lis. You have the right to remain silent, anything you do or say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights?"

"THIS IS BULLSHIT I DIDN'T MURDER ANYONE!" Spike cried.

"Tell it to the judge kid." The officer said as Spike was hauled away.

"SPIKE!" Rarity cried.

"GET TWILIGHT!" Spike shouted.

Spike sat in his jail cell alone when the doors to the jail were slammed open.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?! WHY IS MY BROTHER IN JAIL?!" Twilight shouted.

"That monster is your brother?" One of the officers sneered.

"MONSTER?! HE'S NO MONSTER! HE WOULDN'T HURT A FLY!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Tell that to the family of Fleur De Lis,"

"SPIKE DIDN'T KILL HER!" Twilight shouted.

"Really? Then explain the multiple eyewitnesses that saw him flee the scene. Explain the threatening note she got in his handwriting. Explain the witness who saw the murder first hand,"

"No, this has to be some kind of mistake!" Fluttershy cried.

"Let me talk to him," Twilight commanded.

"Very well, you got two," The guard said. Twilight and her friends immediately shot for Spike's jail cell.

"Are you okay?" Twilight asked.

"My head is throbbing but other then that I'm fine," Spike explained.

"Spike did you kill Fleur?" Twilight asked.

"W-WHAT?! NO! OF COURSE NOT!" Spike cried. Applejack studied Spike's eyes, body language, and voice tone. She sighed.

"He's telling the truth sugarcubes. He didn't kill her," Applejack said.

"How do you know?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Hello? Element of Honesty," Applejack explained.

"Well no offense Applejack what good would that do in a Court of Law?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"What are you gonna do? You heard how much evidence there is against me." Spike said.

"Spike we're gonna figure this out. We're gonna get you out of here, I promise," Twilight said.

"Times up," The officer said. The Mane 6 began to file out except Rarity who reached her hands through the stall. Spike gently grabbed them.

"It's gonna be okay," Spike said softly to his crying girlfriend.

"Girlfriend...never thought I'd see the day,"

"Promise me you'll be okay," Rarity whimpered.

"I promise," Spike said kissing Rarity's hands.

"I said times up," The officer said.

"Go," Spike said. Rarity nodded before she and the rest of the Mane 6 left the station leaving Spike alone.

Spike sighed thinking about that day. He looked out into the starry sky above. Tomorrow would be the day that would decide his fate. Either he's let free or he's banished to Tartarus for the rest of his life. He slowly rolled over. His last thought before falling into a dreamless sleep was Rarity's smiling face.

Author's Note

For those of you who've read my stuff before you'll probably see some similarities between this and My Little Pony: Destiny. Maybe this could be considered a rewrite, I never really thought of it as such. I hope you enjoy this story!
