Spike woke and as he expected, he found Twilight at her desk with her face on a book as she slept. It was clear that she was up all night. And judging by the many noyes, chalkboard, and even a corkboard. Sighing, he looked over what she found out before gathering her "I'm clearly too sleepy to be writing this" notes, and put them in a pile to the side.

"Wait… what's this?..." He muttered softly as he looked over some of the notes. "Spike… Dash…" was the only part he was able to read thanks to the smear that normally followed one of Twilight's all nighters. Not seeing much point in following a trail that he'd need Twilight's help figuring out. And let's face it. They were at stage five already of a Twilight meltdown. It was probably safest to be anywhere but there.

Smiling, an idea came to his head and set off for Rarity's. If he was going to be around anypony. It was definitely going to be her.

The Carousel Boutique was as busy as ever. That is to say. Rarity was working on her next line months in advance. And she was determined to make each outfit shine. Sadly…

"I have nothing!!!" She cried while laying on her fainting couch. "I can't think of a single thing for this year's hot and spicy magazine. And if I don't come up with something soon…" She sniffed once before letting out a loud whine. "I'll be ruined!!!"

"There there hun." Applejack soothed as she brushed her friend's mane. "Everything will be fine. You'll see."

"Oh Applejack. If only it was that simple."

Applejack lifted Rarity's chin so they were eye to eye. "Now you listen here. You're the best darn dress maker I ever met. How many ponies do ya know can make me a dress that looks nice and not be… you know."

Rarity blinked and thought about it for a moment. "You're right… but that still doesn't help me with my problem."

"Which one?" Applejack teased with a knowing smirk.

Rarity blushed, and before she was able to respond. Spike entered the Boutique. "Hay Rarity. Need any help?" He called.

"She sure does Spike." Applejack replied as she got up. "I was just helping her cheer up a bit. But I reckon ya can help her with her dresses."

"Leave it to me." He replied, happily rushing over to get the usual tools. "I'm happy to help."

Rarity sighed happily. "Having you around is always a welcome help, Spike. Thank you."

Spike smiled and stood at the reedy. "Any time Rarity."

"Well. Looks like y'all got things covered from here. I'll head home and take care of the chores." Applejack called as she gave them a playful wink before leaving.

Twilight groaned as she woke up and looked around before noticing the light coming from the window. Letting out a sigh she looked around at her notes before noticing the pile of notes. Looking them over she sighed and tossed them in the trash before looking over her other notes.

"There has to be something I'm missing… or was Spike right and I just need to find a stallion to rut me." Sighing she rubbed her chin and smiled as an idea came to her. "You know what? I'll take Spike's advice. And I know just the stallion that I want to help me."

With thoughts of a nice sized stallion and his rock hard Rod, dancing through her head. Twilight made her way out of the library and started for her destination. Unaware of the white stallion that came out of the kitchen and looked over the notes she left before turning to look out the window. Laughing to himself, he made his way out the back door humming to himself. "I wonder what they're going to do when they realize the truth."

Fluttershy hummed softly as she sat with her animal friends at one of their picnics. "This is such a lovely day." Taking a deep breath, she looked around as a few started talking about random things that happened lately. Her ears perked when she heard one mention something they overheard at the library.

"Oh my. Are you sure that's what she was talking about, Sammy? I mean. I don't mean to call you a liar. But I thought Spike liked Rarity." She asked as the bird flew over and landed on her back and replied. "Oh my…. I don't know if we should do that. I mean… what if they find out we did it and get mad. Then they might hate me and never want to-" She stopped as the animals spoke up, cutting her off. "You're right…" She sighed. "Maybe I'm just being paranoid. But who would we get to help with that?" After a few moments, one of the squirrels went up a tree and returned with a magazine and opened it before pointing to one of the pages. "Good idea. I think I still have her address." Getting up Fluttershy made her way home to prepare for her plan as Angela rubbed his paws together as a plan came to his mind.

Author's Note

No lie. When I typed "Spike likes Rarity" Google Docs wanted to correct likes with loves. Lol
Anyway, some more stuff is going down and Twilight is hitting some major Twilighting levels. Spike seems to be trying his luck at getting laid. And Fluttershy is up to something... fear the bunny.
