The butterfly effect

"I need to think" spike whispered as he broke the silence.

As she turned to look back at him with a defeated look, rarity let out a sigh. "I get it, but please think about it, i do love you."

This made spike recoil, not in pain but he felt like he was slapped in the face. Didnt he heard this before somehow? "Deja vu?" he whispered, clearly confused.

After that, spike left the room in order to clean his face in the bathroom so he could calm down. While rarity, trotted down the stairs of the castle in order to help start morning breakfast. The stairs were made of a assorment of peridot gems with incrustrations of jasper gems that went all the way down in a half spiral.

After finally arriving to the first floor rarity looked around the place, relishing the beautiful desing of the castle the floor's made of amethyst that was in a design akin to flowers, while the walls were composed of quarz having an ocassional pilar here and there, giving the rooms a regal apperance. Meanwhile the roof' looked like a thin cloak of zaffire, almost see through, and yet it was resistant as it gets. Allowing spike and twilight to live up there afterall.

Going to the kitchen, that looked pretty much the same, except the add on of a normal looking stove, some chairs, a table and other cooking utensils and the such, rarity was woken up from her stuppor as she was surprised to realize she was not alone there.

Looking at her back hearing a noice of hoofs walking, creame who was already awake making hay sandwiches and boiled eggs (one of the limited sources of protein not looked down upon by society since ponies did not thought of chickens as sentient beings anyway) saw rarity standing behind here with a look of utter surprise.

"uhhh hello there . My name is creame a la moude or just creamy. I am a guest of spike here at the castle but i dont think we have met before?, miss.... uh-"

"rarity, dear. Nice to meet you too." rarity answered a bit too hasty.

"Oh!, you mean THE rarity!?.Oh, err- nice to finally meet you" creamed answered with a bit forced smile.

"yo!, something smells nice! i call dibs!" came trotting down rainbow dash.

"Rainbow, wait for a bit dammit, everybody is not here yet!" answered in a mother esque tone, the apple farmer pony.

"Its not nice to rush without waiting for our friends, dont you think?" whispered fluttershy as she came flying softly and landing beside Rarity.

"Its fine flutters, both me and rainbow are hungry fellas in the morning give her some slack". Spike noted as he came walking back in all fours in the kitchen after taking a bath.

Giving back an appreciating nod before taking a dish and starting to eat Rainbow did a double take and asked : "come to think of it, where is pinkie pie? she is the most hiperactive pony here, she would normally be here already".

"Now that you mention it, i dont really remember but knowing pinkie she went out earlier to do a party or something of the sort. You know how she is."

Everyone thought for a second and then nodded in a silent agreement. All but one pony, that being rarity.

"Wait a minute, pinkie? now that they mention it. I dont recall seeing her after spike took me to bed yesterday... nor do i remember using the spell on her... oh... oh!...oh no!" rarity though, realizing she messed up, likely due to the sheer nervousness and guilt over what she did. She must have forgot!, oh great!, now there was a loose end she had to solve. Fantastic. She however didnt let it show in her face or voice as she joined everyone to eat.

Not ignoring the occasional stares Spike would give to her, or creamy or how creamy would glance back at him too. It annoyed her, but she could do little right now. After all her, plan was basically to erase the fact spike started dating someone else from his and everyone´s memories so she could have a chance to woo him and not lose him. Knowing spike is way to noble and loyal to cheat on a partner even if they have barely started dating at all. No matter how much seduction came his way. She would know, she did notice afterall how many mares, changelings and the ocassional stallion flirted with him and yet he still stood by her side. It was reashuring in a way.

"So... spike about the gig i told you before..." stated the photographer pony while everyone looked at her and spike.

"Oh... right. The clothing thing. What of it?."

"Well, i dont really recall how or when i got the clothes ready but apparently i went to get them from coco because i have them all in my room right now. So, ignoring how i forgot when i got them... would you be ready to start later today?"

"Sure, where is the studio this time? in fact who is the client anyway?" answered the dragon.

"WOW!, WOW WOW WOW, HOLD UP DUDE!, you are modeling again?!, already forgot about last time?!, you Mr. Crsytal mare gigolo!?" exclaimed Dash, surprised.

"Oh my!" Fluttershy was clearly flustered.

"You never learn do ya, ya big doofus?" applejack was unamused.

"Huh?!, what are you girls talking about?" Rarity was at a loss here, what was the problem with him modeling? what were they talking about"

"Girls, please! its not gonna be like last time", besides its just to model some clothes!, its not going to be advertised in the crystal empire anyway!, right?... right?" Flustered like his scales suddenly had crimson stains he looked back to creamy with a questioning look and a stare that said "you better fucking not"

"O-of course n-not!" she stammered as she laughed in nervousness.

"You still have not answered me! what is the big deal?! spike models (not for economic purpose however) for me all the time! i need a male model for my stallion projects afterall!"

"the girls just looked at spike then among themselves and had smug grin except fluttershy who was covering her face with her hoofs) remembering the Fashionista was in canterlot at the time of the event, and no one saw fit to tell her, specially since Spike practically begged for them not to, or else risk dying from embarrassment (and then rainbow just walked slowly to rarity's ear looking spike back all the way.

"Rainbow"

she took another step.

"Im serious rainbow"

Another step.

"Stop already"

She was almost there.

"Rainbow!"

She just croached to rarity's ear.

"Rainbow i swear if you-!"

giggling, she whispered in her ear, as spike got more and more red and Rarity's face went from concentrated to surprised to shock, to embarrased.

With a grunt spike hit the table with his head.

"i swear to god rainbow, you are going to regret this".

"Sure buddy" she gave him a shit eating grin.

Rarity just looked at him with a look he had never seen before. It was a mixture of embarssment and anger.

"Spike, is what she said true?" she calmy asked in an icy tone.

"Well... i dont know what she said but..."

"SPIKE!"

Gulping, he looked back at her, she was not playing games.

"Uhhhh ta-da!"he exclaimed in a forced way, trying to lessen the tension in the room.

Meanwhile rarity got a blush so intense you could swear she was having a Ghost chilli pepper.

Opening her mouth she let out a very strong but none the less lady esque scream "SPIIIIIIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" While everyone else laughed at his expense.
