New friends at Carousel Boutique
Author's Note
I just love writing Sparity stories! Without Rarity and Spike, I wouldn't have my two favorite original characters, Wild Rose and Rogus. In other stories, I've written about Wild Rose she's become an alicorn and she and Rogus have six dracony kids.
New friends at Carousel Boutique
Carousel Boutique was the hub for Rarity and her fabric, she was Ponyville’s premier designer of any article of clothing an animal could want or need. This morning had brought in two very unique creatures. She’d spotted them wandering down the main street of Ponyville. Her jaw dropped open and her mind started to drift with possibilities. “Darling, I’m still in shock...um Wild Rose, was it?” Rarity said to the pink unicorn with a flowing red mane and tail. Her eyes were like Spike’s emerald gaze with flecks of light green that seemed to sparkle. She’s such a unique unicorn and her rose scent is simply divine.
Wild Rose nodded. “So, tell me why are you in shock?” Her gaze drifted around the shop, and she spotted her friend and companion Rogus surveying the shop, he’d sniffed out Rarity’s stash of gems she like to keep in a closet. Her eyes were fixed on Rarity again. “I think Rogus found where you keep the gems at Rarity.”
“Oh, I don’t mind him having a few. To be honest darling, I keep many around for Spike.” She found her cheeks turning a slight shade of pink. A unicorn and a dragon…”
Rogus turned to Rarity. “Thank you for being so kind.” His blue eyes had a similar look to Rarity’s eyes. His green skin was a bit lighter than the spikes on Spike. He had a fluffy look about him; she hadn’t been able to find scales on him like Spike.
Wild Rose grinned; she’d noticed that Rarity had been watching Rogus. A name echoed in her head. “So…who’s Spike?” The second she asked noticed the expression on Rarity’s face change, a slight smile, and a dreamy look. “If I had to guess he’s someone special.”
Rarity summoned her unicorn magic and opened the door where Rogus was at. The sound of Rogus's deep voice reminded her of how Spike sounded now, being older and a now and a few inches taller than she was when she’d rise on her back hooves. She turned back to Rogus. “Oh not at all darling, I’m always kind to a fellow dragon.”
Wild Rose had noticed that Rarity had been avoiding her questions this only served to fuel her curiosity.
Rarity cleared her throat as Rogus grabbed a few amethyst gems and walked over and lay down beside Wild Rose. I should have answered her more directly…but…seeing them… She noticed Wild Rose and the grin on her lips.
“Can I guess that you’re shocked to see another dragon and unicorn walking around together? A fellow dragon. Rarity’s words echoed in her mind. “If I also had to guess, I’d say Spike’s a dragon like Rogus.”
Rarity recalled the comment she’d made to Rogus about helping him out. “He is darling, I’ve known him…for well years.” Clearing her throat she took in another whiff of Wild Rose’s rose scent, she added. “So are um, you two an item-” She heard Rogus start to cough, he’d just placed an amethyst gem into his mouth. “Oh…forgive darling, for being so blunt-” The sound of the front door of her Boutique opening up had made her look up, and so had Wild Rose and Rogus.
“Hey, Rarity?”
Wild Rose happened to glance back at Rarity and noticed that her ears had perked up followed by a warm smile on her lips. Someone she knows. The thought echoed in her mind.
“In here Spikey.” Rarity called out like she always had when her eyes widened. I’d forgotten about my guest, slip of the thought tongue.
“Do I smell…roses?” Spike asked and he walked inside, his nose up in the air.
Wild Rose got a good look at him, he was all purple with dark green eyes and scales. So this is Spike. She thought, it was the only logical conclusion she could make. “You’re Spike?”
Spike paused at the sound of the new voice and spotted, someone new setting beside Rarity on her red couch. His gaze fell on another dragon lying beside the other unicorn. “Um…yes…” Tilting his head he was trying to make sense of what was going on. “So um, who is your friend Rarity?” Spike asked taking another sniff of the air.
Wild Rose had swished her tail again at the time Spike started to sniff the air.
“This is Wild Rose and Rogus.” Rarity said and then felt her heart start to beat a bit faster now that Spike was around. He walked up to her and stood on the other side of her while she was seated on the couch.
“We just happened to be walking down Ponyville, Rogus had heard about it. So we decided to follow a road that would lead us here. Then Rarity spotted us and invited us in, she seemed a bit shocked.”
“Hum…another unicorn and dragon. So are you two…” Spike started to ask when Rogus took in a breath.
“Friends,” Rogus spoke up, he wasn’t about to be embarrassed. “Her and I are just friends.”
Spike nodded. Same with Rarity and I. He looked at Wild Rose when something she said clicked. “Shocked? Why did Rarity look shocked…” He put a claw on his forehead. “Never mind, I get it. I had been the only dragon in Ponyville.” So another dragon and unicorn as friends.
“She’d mentioned your name and her face turned a little pink when I’d asked who you were.”
Rarity's mouth dropped open when Wild Rose said that. “Darling…” She noticed a grin on Wild Rose’s face. I trotted right into that one. Yet have I always been avoiding it, it’s obvious that he likes me. And I am always happier when he’s around.
“Is that true Rarity?” Spike asked and was rewarded with those alluring sapphire eyes of hers looking directly at him. He could see a slight pink hue returning to her cheeks.
“Well um…” She swallowed a lump in her throat. Why should I keep denying it…he makes it obvious… “Yes, darling, it’s true.” She could hear her heart echoing in her chest.
“You’re using your rose scent again aren’t you Wild Rose?” He’d been doing his best to ignore the scent of her, but it was impossible, and he could tell it was affecting Rarity and now Spike.
“It’s not magic Rogus, it just helps creatures relax and open up a bit easier. It’s gotten me out of quite a few perils, it’s also how you first found me.”
Rogus blew out a breath. He wasn’t about to deny that.
“It’s been such a divine scent, Rogus. I know that flowers naturally affect the moods of creatures. I see nothing wrong with it.” Her gaze fell on Spike.
Spike couldn’t help but smile. “Nothing wrong with…us?” A thought hit him at that moment. “Mind I grab a gift I gave you a few years ago.? Trust me I know where it’s at.”
Rarity smiled. “Of course darling, I wouldn’t mind wearing such a gift.” She’d been thinking about Spike as she’d often done, it hadn’t been the first time. She’d had on the Fire Heart Ruby before she spotted Wild Rose and Rogus and figured she should take it off so she could focus more on the unique guest she’d invited into her home.
Spike disappeared into one of the rooms.
Rarity took in a breath. “Wild Rose, darling I’d been thinking about Spike, I do this often. This was before you and Rogus showed up. That rose scent just helped me relax as Rogus said. I feel…better…”
“Held back for a while?” Wild Rose asked.
“Quite, I had remained friends for years as I watched Spike grow up, I’d gotten closer to him, but I kept anything else to…well…myself-” She heard a little gasp behind her and turned around to see Spike with his jaw open. “Um…how much did you-” She noticed the redness of his cheeks.
“Rarity, dragons have very good hearing.” Spike said and found his voice was a bit higher than normal. He had a small box held in his claws. “So…what did you hold back exactly?” He asked opening the small decorative box revealing the same Fire Heart Ruby, he’d given her all those years ago.”
“A perfect heart-shaped ruby?” Rogus could feel saliva pooling in his mouth forcing him to swallow.
“Claws off Rogus,” Spike said as he took out the ruby that had been placed in a gold necklace that Rarity had worn the same day, he’d given it to her. He looked at the necklace around Rarity’s neck and closed the claps. An idea struck him and before he could mentally talk himself out of it, he went for it. He slid his arms down around Rarity’s neck and placed his muzzle beside hers. With his heightened hearing he could hear the thumping of her heart grow even louder. “I’ll take your louder heartbeat as you don’t mind.”
Rarity felt her lungs contract, for a few seconds, she’d forgotten to breathe. This was something that Spike has never done. She thought and it had caught her totally off guard. “I…I…um…” She found that her mouth was dry.
Wild Rose and Rogus had watched the show of affection with Rarity and Spike. She’d lifted her tail and waved it right in front of Rogus’s nose so he would take in the full scent of her rose-scented body. She watched his eyes darken in color. “I could use a hug.”
Rogus's vision was starting to cloud over. He knew her tail was where the aroma was strongest. “I’ve resisted…it could lead to…more…”
“You’ve wanted to…”
Rogus nodded his head, and he could feel the warmth on his cheeks. “More…I’ve held back for respect to you.”
Wild Rose’s jaw dropped open. “A gentle dragon.”
“Same as my Spikey-Wikey.” Rarity said enjoying the feeling of Spike’s arms still around her neck and shoulders.
Wild Rose glanced over at Rarity. “So…it’s a dragon thing?”
“Guess, so.” Rarity tilted her head onto Spike’s arm. “Oh, Spike and I have hugged before…though I must say he’s never hugged me like this before.”
“Are you objecting Rarity?” Spike slid one of his claws up to her chin and started to wiggle his index claw back and forth.
Rarity’s eyes widened at the feeling of his claw scratching her chin. A flood of emotions when through her body. She could feel her head spinning and melting into his warm scales. “Mag…magic…magical claws…” Her body started to shudder at the sensation Spike had created.
Spike glanced over at Rogus. “Dragon claws seem to have a strange effect on unicorns, just look at Rarity.”
Rogus grinned and noticed that Wild Rose was staring at Rarity. “Wild Rose, could I give that a try?” He asked.
Spike had stopped using his index claw on Rarity, she managed to regain her composer. “Mmm…give it a try Wild Rose.” Her head was still spinning.
Lets See Where The Night Takes Us.
Author's Note
I am really enjoying writing about this pair. Spike and Rarity inspired me to draw my own couple and write about them.
I can't wait to see where this story goes. I let the characters write the story, and the reader and I are along for the ride.
Lets See Where The Night Takes Us.
Wild Rose had been watching Rarity and didn’t see Rogus move his claw closer to her chin and then ran his index claw slowly down her chin. Her eyes widened at the feeling, she let out a short gasp when he removed his claw letting her take in a breath. “Ro…gus…” A shiver ran through her body as she lets out a shuddered gasp. She put a hoof over her mouth it sounded different. Her green eyes met the dark blue look in Rogus’s eyes. “I…um…” She heard a slight giggle coming from Rarity then Rarity cleared her throat.
“Forgive me, darling, I couldn’t hold back a giggle.” Her gaze moved to Spike. “Shale we find a more comfortable place?” Rarity heard her ask the question, the sound of her voice surprised her, and also how easy she’d said that. Is it the scent of Wild Rose that’s truly opened up a side of me that I’d kept hidden for Spike…a desire? Rarity felt her cheeks starting to grow warm.
“Where’d you have in mind Rarity?” Wild Rose asked, there was something different about her. It could be her accent or the fact that she also had a dragon that she was friends with.
“You’re bed is big enough to hold two.”
Wild Rose and Rarity turned to Spike as he spoke up. Rarity’s jaw dropped open.
Spike’s looked over at Rogus. “If that’s okay with you?”
“I’m not objecting. I doubt Wild Rose will either. I’ve seen the way she’s been looking at Rarity.”
This time it was for Wild Rose’s jaw to drop open, and her cheeks started to turn a darker shade of pink. “Rogus…I…” Her voice trailed off as she cleared her throat. “I’m not mad, as long as Spike’s not mad.”
Spike lifted an eyebrow, he already knew how to open Rarity was, he’d known her for years. “Let's see where this night leads them.”
“Spike.” Rarity said as she stood up on the couch and jumped off to land beside him. “Darling…” She found herself at a loss for words. Turning she found Wild Rose standing beside her, the scent of her roses was even stronger.
“My scent just opens up hidden emotions, they’ve always been there you just haven’t acted on them…think of it as a way of letting go. It’s not a spell, it’s just a natural effect scents can have on somepony or even creature. You won’t act on what you don’t want to do.” She explained, and she’d seen the curiosity on Rarity’s face.
Both Spike and Rarity’s jaws dropped open at this revelation. “So it’s true Rarity? True?” Spike turned to Rarity. She always had me over more so than any other of our friends. I just thought…she does… does-
“Let's see where our massage takes us, darling.” She replied to Spike with a look in her eyes that he’d never seen before. He glanced up at the open area of Carousel Boutique. The staircase wrapped around the circular building. This could be fun. The thought had Spike grinning.
“Darling, what is going through that mind of yours?” Rarity asked catching the grin on his face.
Spike didn’t respond instead he scooped Rarity up into his arms. “I figured I’d sweep a lady off her feet.”
The heat of Spike’s dragon scales seeped past where white coat of her fur. Am I that light, or is that strong…I would never have…thought… “Well you made it literally.” She heard the slightly higher tone in her voice. “Are you this warm everywhere-” She let out a gasp. “Oh…my….forgive me darling I didn’t mean to…imply-”
“Bit of a fantasy there Rarity?” Wild Rose asked.
Rarity’s sapphire eyes caught the twinkle in Wild Rose’s dark green eyes. “A lady never reveals her fantasies-” She heard a laugh from Spike, then realized she’d just told on herself.
Spike could feel Rarity’s heartbeat growing faster. “Careful Rarity, you might want to control that rapid heartbeat of yours.”
“You little dragon-”
“For now.” Spike shot back with a devilish grin.
Rogus smiled at Spike and with his dragon speed, he’d lifted Wild Rose off the ground and was rewarded with a high pitch sound.
“Rogus.” Wild Rose said as she rolled over on his arms to face him. He could see the smile on her face. “Then why the smile, Wild Rose?” He asked as he opened his wing and Spike followed suit. “You know where we’re going, Spike.
“Um…Rarity, is the window in your bedroom opened?”
“Well yes, it’s such a beautiful night…why?” The last word came out in a higher tone when Spiked jumped up into the air and used his wings to gain height.
Rarity could feel the power in Spike’s shoulders as he moved his wings up and down hovering a few feet off the ground. His gaze was on Rogus. “Follow me.” When Rogus nodded and lifted off the ground while carrying Wild Rose. Spike took off for the window in Rarity’s bedroom with Rogus in tow.
They flew off to a meadow with rolling hills, stars dot the skies and Luna’s full moon give off a romantic light. Rarity and Wild Rose couldn’t resist watching Equestria flying by them the full moon was light a spot lamp over the shadows of Equestria.
Rogus and Spike landed on the tall grassy area on a hill. Trees were on all sides creating a perfect spot for a romantic area. Flowers were scattered on and around the hilltop.
Rarity let out a sigh when she was lying on the grass. It was cool to the touch and Rarity had her Boutique warmer due to the cooler nights with fall falling over Ponyville. Her sapphire eyes gazed up at Luna’s full moon above. “Stunning, simply stunning.”
“Are you referring to the moon or seeing you in the moonlight?” Spike replied.
Rarity smiled at Spike. “I knew you were a romantic, I’ve seen this side from time to time.” She said while she lay on her back the tall grass obscured Wild Rose and Rogus from view. Her ear flicked when she caught the sound of Wild Rose giggling.
Spike took in the sight of Rarity as the moon cast its slivery glow upon the area. Her legs were closed her hips were laying sideways.
A gust of wind swept through the grass and had Rarity’s eyes widening a bit. Blades of grass had found their way to specific areas that were now sensitive to the touch. A grin on her lips turned to a smile as she started to twitch and then giggle.
“Move the grass, Rogus.” Wild Rose said on the other side of the blades of grass that had obscured them from the view of the others.
“Oh my…I know what you’re talking about darling.” Wild Rose replied, tilting her head back she found that she could see the tip of Wild Rose’s horn.
“I think Spike picked this area on purpose.” Wild Rose replied to Rarity and noticed her horn poking up from the grass.
Rarity let out another round of giggles, she’d had her eyes closed and didn’t see Spike watching her legs twitching.
Spike leaned down with the scent of flowers and the aroma of Wild Rose’s rose aroma in the air. Yet a new scent had his mouth-watering, it was all he could smell now. Why have I never noticed this before?
Rarity could feel the heat in her cheeks spreading to the rest of her face. It has to be the grass… Her eyes opened up to find Spike with his head close to a certain area, the look in his eyes looked primal, and it was something she’d only seen when he went through his greed spell. Desire…for…me… The thought had her heart beating faster. She glanced up for a second and spotted Wild Rose’s horn above the grass.
Wild Rose’s tail swayed along with the wind and the grass. She watched Rogus hesitate at first when he started to reach for her waist with his claws. His breath caught in her throat when his claws ran down the sides of her body. He purposely stopped short of her most sensitive lower area. “Tease.” Her voice was low with a seductive tone to it, leaning back she felt her horn touch Rarity’s horn…
