The butterfly effect

///Music for ambience : Fake wings by Yuki kajiura ///

The next day, eventually came.

With it, came a glorious sun. The rays making Twilight's bedroom shine like if it was a aurora borealis due to the interaction of light with the crystal floor and walls.

The soothing scene however, would be only that. A scene, ragnarok was to come next. All dues must be paid.

Rarity, waked up as soon the first ray of the morning sun touched her eye lids. As she yawned and looked to the side of her, there laid spike in all his glory. His scales shining lightly with the light that covered the room. His wing like a soft cover was on top of her, protecting her from harm and keeping her warm. His breaths soft and cozy, breaths that stopped for a second when he still sleeping felt a hoof soft as silk touching his chest in slow circles, a touch that felt harder and harder progressively. This waked him up with a startle "Huh?!" he managed to say as he looked to the sides of the bed he now laid in.

As soon as his head went east he stopped dead in his movements. A intense wondering and expectant look expected him. The eyes of Rarity locked on his as she just looked at him with this sad but hopeful look on her. A look that you would give the person you love but you knew you hurt but you are hopeful he or she forgives you. Spike did not knew why she saw him that way, it was better that way otherwise what would be of rarity? She did not want to think about it.

"Huh!!? Rarity?! Wh-why are yo-" but he got interrupted as she pressed a hoof to his lips, getting closer to his own slowly as her eyes slowly closed and a tear was falling from her face "At last, i can reach you again" she thought as she was about to kiss him, he stopped her grabbing her by the shoulders. "Rares! Are you ok?... Why are you crying? And... Why are we in twilights bed? In fact... Better yet why are you sleeping with me?

"Huh?" she got back to reality. "Me?. Oh i- im fine, dear i just..."she shaked her head, none the matter. Oh! And about being in twilights bed well...." she needed to know how much he remembered. "You should not ask such a question to a lady you know?"she said as she gave a half true, half lie embarrased glance to the other side as her cheeks got pink

His cheeks did too " uhhh... Well i... I dont know... I really dont, i swear!" he was as red as a tomato. "I swear i dont!,oh damn... I slept in the same bed as one of my friends in my moms bed and i cant even remeber when, how or why it happened.... " He sighed as he looked down ashamed of himself.

Rarity noticed this and immediately relaxed. He did not remembered last night, but now the problem is he felt he did something wrong. What could he be thinking he did or...both did? . Rarity flushed red at that.

"S-spikey, dear d-dont worry!, we only shared a bed, you didnt do anything! Dont you worry your precious head you are a gentledragon and i know for a FACT you would never hurt me anyway. We just..." she needed to think of an excuse, fast "...we just got a little tipsy in the reception party for your new friend... Yes, your new friend.... Uhhhh creame i think? " Well, that was better than nothing.

"Creame? What abou-" but then he got a part of his memories back, those being blurry at best thanks to the spell. He vaguely remembered carrying Rarity to his bed, Creame and the girls following him to the castle and he also remembered having spent the hole day of yesterday doing something with Creame although he did not knew what it was. "Oh, right. I remember having spent the day with creame yesterday and then i remember meeting the girls and you while she was with me and me carrying you....to... The .... Bed....holy guacamole!. Did i...find your drunk self and a carried you to twilights room but i was to tipsy and then i fell asleep too!? How embarrassing.. He let out a groan of humilliation.

Rarity giggled at Spike antics. "It seems so, darling. Better hold your licor better next time" She was happy that spike bought her lie, but she needed to cover any posible red flag. "Also, since i wake up before everyone else, i took the liberty to clean the castle from all the wine and booze and i came back here to wake you up. That being said... You guys really trashed my place a little" she giggled.

She really had it all planned up didnt she? Eventa cover up for her fucked up house/business. Man, are all mares this calculating?

Anyway, Spike bought the lie but he still was confused. "Ok but why... Were you so sad a little ago and correct me if i am wrong but.... Did you just try to.... To... To ki-"

This was the moment she waited for, with a sigh she poured her heart once and for all.

"Kiss you?" she said

Spike stopped dead in his tracks as his eyes widened and his blood ran cold.

".... Spike i need to be honest with you, now" she continued , yet he did not dare to even move his mouth. He was paralized.

"Spikey, honey i...." she reached a hoof to his cheek and lovingly strocked it. He did not flinch or back away this time, it was a good sign.

"Truth be told, i am jealous" he gained a semblance of courage and was about to move his mouth but got interrupted as soon as he moved his lips.

"Why? Of who?. Well, Dear to be honest i.... Always took your adoration for granted. Even the day before yesterday...your birthday, you...that face you made that day, it broke my heart. I however of course being as blind and self centered as i was, went to that stupid date anyway and obviously it was a flop... However something happened that night, while i was in my usual rambling i realized something. I realized how, the way i felt that night you must have felt.... All this years and then i just kind of...lost it a little but when i finally understood everything and i came looking for you...

Spike remained silent, he was speechless at what was happening right now.

"But when i came looking for you.... The you "introduced her to us" or rather "intruced her to me" i... Felt so sick to my stomach, i thought i was gonna vomit!"

Spike flinched at that, Rarity however did not notice.

"Every time she looked at you that way... Everytime you guys flirted with each other, hugged each other, how you looked at her... I" rarity made a face of disgust and indigestion, she seemed like she was gonna puke.

"I could not handle it. So

"All the more you and her intereacted together i... I felt worse and it was killing me!, finding you with another mare! The mere thought of the posibility sickened me! Even more so after i finally... Finally realized i....that i...." she looked deep into his eyes as tears came down like a flood through her eyes " that i love you and i though.... And i thought i lost you forever." Rarity was now sobbing and crying in the bed, covering her head with her hoofs as mascara stained the bed sheets.

Spike was now in shock, and tears ran down his face to the bed sheets.

Rarity regained some of her composure and then continued "So... I made up my mind" She looked back at him "And i decided that i would do anything in my power to not lose you, to anyone!, not even if it was celestia herself!" She inhaled and finished with "So, yes darling. My precious baby, i tried to kiss you. So, do you think you can forgive me?, me? This selfish, self centered and cruel mare? This mare that has kept you suffering all this time and yet is now asking... No begging! To accept her love?, Can you love me and only me Spike?, because i... I finally got it... The only one i ever needed, that i need is you."

She finished dropping the bomb, and then the room was filled with a pregnant silence. A silence Spike broke

"Rariy... I... I dont know what to say.... I....also what date are you talking about" his voice was weak and cracking

Oh Right, he didnt remember his birthday "incident" thanks to the spell...well... This works too, but still she needed to keep apperances "Oh, right i never told you. Well, in escense i... Got a little carried away and i planned a date on your late after your birthday party. I know it was selfish of me to not consider your feelings to tell you, specially since it was your birthday but... " She sighed. "Like i told you, i realized my mistake to late and i... I know im being selfish but... But i am so afraid of losing you spike. It scares me" she said looking back at him

"What do you even like about me anyway?" spike asked hestitant to believe her.

"I beg your pardon?" she said.

"Well, it just... Costs me to believe that you... like me now....after all this years..." spike was self hugging trying to comfort himself and ease his weariness.

Rarity thought for a moment, and remembered something Spike said the night prior. "everything, thats what he said that time" she thought. As the more she tried to think of her reasons, that word he said kept resonationg with her and so she answered honestly:

"Everything" she whispered

"What?" he said dumbfounded

"Everything" she said, now looking at him with a dead serious face

"I love every----
