Opening Act: Part 2 - Spike's GF

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

While Twilight could not believe that Rainbow Dash would let some random dragon that accidently crashed into her stay at her place, the Purple alicorn did at least trust the cyan Pegasus speedster, so she quickly had a town meeting to address the fact that a new dragon was staying in Ponyville, one who didn't seem mean at all. Heck, the fact that the entire time Match was just tinkering on a new flight contraption while being friendly and courteous to the ponies that did approach him while he took breaks really sold him to the crowd.

The next day however, Twilight was in the library again, when Rarity came in. "Hey Twilight, I came to see if you had any books on fashion. This fashionista is going to try something a bit more basic." Rarity said.

"Not sure if we have one. But right now, I'm trying to figure out what to do for Spike's upcoming tenth birthday in three months from now without things ending up like last year." Twilight noted.

"That was not the most pleasant thing I've ever been a part of." Rarity said. But then she blinked. "Wait, did you just say Spike is almost ten years old?" Rarity said.

"Why does that matter?" Twilight asked.

"Well it matters because Sweetie Belle was born three years after my second birthday; making Spike only three months older then her." Rarity said. She was panicking internally though.

"Well Spike is a dragon. They tend to live for longer then you'd think." Twilight said.

"Well I still would like to find him. Do you know where he is right now because I haven't heard anything but you in here today." Rarity said.

"Oh, he left this morning to go find Sweetie Belle. He would not tell me why." Twilight said.

"HE DID WHAT?!" Rarity exclaimed before trying to rush for the exit, only to get stopped by Pinkie Pie.

"Oh no you don't. I'm not letting you break a Pinkie Promise." Pinkie Pie said.

"What kind of Pinkie Promise is that?" Twilight asked.

"The one where she pinkie promised she wouldn't start fighting over Spike with another female." Pinkie Pie said.

"What the...how did you know about that?" Rarity asked.

Twilight just looked at Rarity. "Okay, I get that this is Pinkie Pie, but who did you make the Pinkie Promise with?" The purple alicorn asked.

"With her self." Pinkie Pie said.

"...Sometimes Pinkie, the way you keep track of everything defies all logic, but then again, you do that almost every day all the time. At this point, I think I should stop trying to apply logic to you." Twilight said.

"By the way, how did you get here?" Rarity asked.

"I took a shortcut through Discord's demension." Pinkie Pie said.

"...DICORD!" Twilight yelled out.

The Draconequus in question popped in. "Oh dear Twilight, what seems to be the problem this time?" Discord asked.

"Did you use your chaos powers to warp Pinkie Pie here? She said she took a short cut through your deminsion." Twilight said.

"Of course he didn't silly. I did everything on my own~" Pinkie Pie said.

"WAIT WHAT? HOW? I have so many questions." Discord said.

"You could say my secret for taking shortcuts is..." Pinkie Pie said, looking around as she was suddenly up close and personal with Discord. "A secret~" Pinkie Pie simi-whispered in the Draconequus's ear.

"...And suddenly, I found one of you ponies who defies even my logic." Discord said.

"...In Ponyville, there's a commonly applied understanding." Twilight said.

"Oh really? And what's that?" Discord asked.

"Don't question Pinkie Pie." Twilight said.

"...Oh please, you can't be satisfied with just that." Discord said. "You may be a princess now, but your whole thing is applying science to everything." He added.

"Trust me, I already tried that. Didn't really work out." Twilight said. "Learnt that sometimes, there are commonly accepted things here in Ponyville that you should just let be." She added.

"...Well I for one can't have anyone stealing my schtick. I've got my eyes on you now, Pinkie Pie." Discord said. But then he noticed something. "Wait, where did she go?" Discord asked.

"Beats me." Twilight said.

"Don't try and give yourself a headache now dear." Rarity said. "...Though if you'll excuse me Twilight, I must use your couch for a bit." She added.

"Why? What do you need my--" Twilight was saying before Rarity fainted on Twilight's couch. "...Never mind..." Twilight finished.


Meanwhile, Spike was actually spending some time playing around with Sweetie Belle while there was that whole scene in the library. And eventually, the sun was setting.

"This was a very good day. We should really hang out more often." Sweetie Belle said.

"Yeah. Perhaps I'll see if we can do it more tomorrow." Spike said.

"Don't spend all your time away from the Library. Your big sis needs you." Sweetie Belle said.

"Yeah. You got a point. Hope to see you around, Sweetie." Spike said.

"Oh that's a given. If you get time, come by tomorrow." Sweetie Belle said.

"Yeah. I'll see if I can do that." Spike said before heading off.

Sweetie Belle also headed for her home when Pinkie Pie came out of the nearby bush. "Yep, called it. Sweetie Belle is going to become Spike's girlfriend. No question about it." Pinkie Pie said. "And some pony may ask me: How did could I possibly know that." She said, suddenly turning to the fourth wall. "Well, maybe you best take Twilight's advice and not question me." Pinkie Pie said before taking out a cupcake from her mane. "That's enough deep thinking for me today. Cupcake time!" Pinkie Pie said before eating said cupcake.
