Spike entered Rarity’s house and saw the seamstress in the process of making two dresses at the same time.

“H-hey Rarity,” Spike said nervously.

“Ah hello darling, I was just in need of a model,” Rarity said.

“I’d be happy to,” Spike said as he walked over there.

“Alright dear, give me a bit,” Rarity said as she went to work, this gave Spike a moment to appreciate her beauty.

She was truly a beautiful mare, not only was her figure a total knockout, but she had a pretty face and a personality that was kind and giving if only he could cross two of the barriers needed to be with her.

Species, there is the whole dragon living longer than ponies thing to be concerned about, and age, he looks too young for her.

And so he joined her at the modeling table, pursuing his lovelorn life with Rarity.

After an hour Rarity ceased her pricking him with needles to realize she was out of fabric for the third dress she was making.

“Oh dear, I seem to be out of purple fabric, I need to complete this dress order by Thursday… say Spike, can I ask you a favor?” Rarity asked.

“Sure,” Spike said.

“I need violet fabric, could you retrieve some from the market while I retrieve some more needles from the fabric store?” Rarity asked.

“Why can’t you get both from the fabric store?” Spike asked, carefully taking the dress off.

“There’s a pony in the market that sells this rare fabric, I need it and the fabric store doesn’t have it,” Rarity said.

“Well…” It honestly seems silly to him but he couldn’t turn Rarity down “Ok,” Spike relented.

“Thank you darling,” Rarity said as she got up and walked towards the door with Spike behind her.

As they got outside they split up and went different ways.

Spike ran to the market, going around multiple ponies and he suddenly found himself lost while looking for the fabric stand.

“Where is it?... Should have asked where exactly it is,” Spike said before walking into Fluttershy.

“Ooof!” Spike fell over, Fluttershy isn’t usually this sturdy “Huh? Oh hey Fluttershy,” Spike said getting up and noticing her professional attire “Uh, nice outfit, you get a job at a law firm?” Spike asked.

“Oh no dear, it’s my new fashion, the fashion of a confident mare!” Fluttershy declared.

“...Did you go to another Iron Will seminar?” Spike said noticing her different aura of confidence.

“Wouldn’t dream of it, that minotaur has nothing to teach me now,” Fluttershy laughed before walking with Spike.

“Did somepony inject you with liquid sunbeams or something? Because I’m struggling to recognize you,” Spike said.

“Well, let’s just say I met with a stallion who granted me my heart's desire, and now, I’m a mare without equal!” Fluttershy said with a degree of arrogance.

“....Wow… so what did this stallion do?” Spike asked.

“He granted my wish, and now I can talk to any stallion without hesitance, why just a few minutes ago a stallion gave me his phone number, and I didn’t run away in fear,” Fluttershy said proudly.

“Wow, good for you Shy, sooo, what are you going to do now?” Spike asked.

“Find the stallion Gold Rush and make him mine!” Fluttershy said with determination.

“Well good luck with that, by the way, do you know where the fabric stand is?” Spike asked.

“That way,” Fluttershy said pointing to the stand that just so happens to be near the tent.

“Ok! Thanks!” Spike said running over to the stand, after ordering the fabric Spike prepared to head back to Rarity’s when he noticed Derpy exiting the tent, nothing odd was seen until she suddenly waved her hand and a muffin appeared in it.

“Huh?” Spike said, curiosity getting the better of him he went to her while she was enjoying her summoned muffin.

“Hey derpy,” Spike called.

“Hmm? Oh hello, Spike!” Derpy said.

“Uhm… how did you do that? I don’t remember pegasi being able to summon things out of thin air.” Spike said.

“It’s the gift Mr Djinn gave me! Now I can have all the muffins I want!” Derpy cheered.

“Mr Djinn?” Spike asked.

“Yeah, he is in there, he grants wishes,” Derpy said.

“Ok…” Spike said not fully believing it but on the other hand, she just poofed a muffin into her hand… and Fluttershy suddenly became braver… could he…

Spike didn’t want to give himself false hope, but he had to know, so he said bye to Derpy and entered the tent.

And saw Mr Djinn folding some blankets and setting them by some random stuff in the corner.

“Um… hey?” Spike asked.

“Huh? Oh… um hey, didn’t know there were dragons in these parts,” Djinn said.

“Uh yeah, I’m the princess's assistant, Spike,” Spike said.

“Well, I’ll admit this’ll be a first here,” Djinn said as he walked back over to him and sat down.

“Um… yeah, I heard you grant wishes,” Spike said.

“That’s right, it’s what I do, I imagine a dragon even one as short as you would want a big hoard right?” Djinn asked.

“Um… that’s just a stereotype, no, I have something I want more than any gem,” Spike said.

“Oooh, a dragon who doesn’t want a valuable object, fascinating, do sit and tell,” Djinn asked.

Spike nodded and sat down, twiddling his thumbs he decided to inform him.

“I…have a mare I like…” Spike said.

“A dragon… loving a pony? That is also a first,” Djinn admitted.

“And she doesn’t like me back, at least not in the way I like her, and so I was hoping-”

“Stop stop… I can’t do love,” Djinn said.

“What?” Spike said.

“Yeah, comes with the wishing rules, one, I can’t kill anyone, at least directly or intentionally, two I can’t ascend ponies to alicorn status, and three, I can’t force anyone to fall in love… per sey,” Djinn said with a wave of the hand.

“Per sey?” Spike wanted clarification.

“I can arrange a situation, but I can’t just clap my hooves and make her love you, even I got rules I gotta follow,” Djinn said.

“So… even you can’t help me…” Spike sighed.

“Now now, I didn’t say that, I said I can’t make her fall in love with you, but you can,” Djinn said.

“How?... She’s a pony, I’m a dragon, she wants a princely stallion…” Spike said.

“...Put your hand on the ball,” Djinn said putting the crystal ball on the table.

“Why?” Spike asked.

“Just do it,” Djinn said.

“Ok,” Spike said and he put his claw on it.

“Now… wish your greatest desire,” Djinn said, as he subtly implanted an idea in Spike's head.

“This can’t possibly work…” Spike said wondering where the strange thought came from.

“Won’t know until you try,” Djinn said.

“...Ok,” Spike said “I wish… I was the ideal kind of stallion Rarity would fall deeply in love with,” Spike said.

“So you have wished it, so shall it be, in exchange for something you treasure… I’m thinking, that,” He said reading Spike’s mind and suddenly a flash overcame them.

“Huh?! What’s- AAHH!” Spike yelled as he was encompassed in the light, he felt his body shift and change and when it was over he fell out of his chair.

“Ooof! What just happened, I-...my voice… what happened to my voice?” Spike asked before he felt his throat, his voice was deeper, sauve, charming.

“Stand up, Mr. Spike the pony,” Djinn said and Spike suddenly found himself being levitated to a standing position by Djinn’s magic.

“Huh?... Why is everything shorter?” Spike asked.

“Maybe take a look,” Djinn pulled a full-body mirror out and showed it to him.

And he was in awe.

He was a tall unicorn stallion, with a trim fit but not overbuilt model-like body contained in a spiffy tuxedo, a perfectly styled green mane and tail, and a face even Celestia would want to stare at for hours.

…There was no way around it…. He was stunning!

“If she doesn’t fall for you like this, then she’s either blind or an aromantic,” Djinn said with a chuckle.

“Wow… I look… amazing!” Spike said in silent awe, turning and looking at his body from all angles, he had it, not only was he a pony at long last, but he was a hunk to boot!

It wasn’t just that though, rifling through his thoughts, he found that it seemed his mind matured as much as his body did, he now knew all kinds of dating etiquette, all kinds of magic, all kinds of ways to please Rarity, even things about her he didn’t know, like how much she loves-

“Ahem,” Djinn said and Spike turned and smiled gratefully “I love this! Thank you!” Spike said.

“Alright, well go get the girl Spike,” Djinn said.

“What about the price?” Spike asked, remembering that he mentioned that.

“Don’t worry about it, I already got what I need,” Djinn said.

“Well, thanks, I really appreciate it,” Spike said as he ran off.

“....Heheheh, me too,” He said reaching behind his chair and pulling out another cage with Peewee in it “I wonder, how much these sell for?” Djinn asked himself.

Rarity was waiting in her Boutique for Spike to return.

“Oh… what is taking him? Did he get lost?” Rarity said worriedly before walking into the kitchen to pour herself some tea that was whistling.

As she was pouring the tea she heard the bell chime and the door close.

“Rarity! I’m back!” Spike’s voice said… although it was oddly different but Rarity was too distracted to notice.

“Oh thank goodness dear, I was worried you’d gotten yourself lost, did you bring the fabric?” Rarity asked.

“Yes… and so much more,” Spike said.

Not noticing him entering the kitchen she poured a second cup for him and began turning towards him.

“Well alright dear, I poured us some tea, I hope you like apple spice-” Rarity paused when she saw the stallion standing before her…. And she dropped the cups.

“Well? Impressive?” He asked smoothly posing.

“I-I….uh… h-hello sir, I didn’t hear you come in, along with Spike t-that is…. I… oh my,” Rarity found herself stuttering and blushing as she beheld the stallion of her dreams, where was Spike?

“I know you must be shell-shocked, but let me explain,” Spike said using his magic to levitate the spilled tea and glass shards into the nearby trash can.

“I-I… sorry sir, I am usually a better conversationalist than this… it is just… um… who are you?” Rarity said.

Spike debated making a new identity, but he decided against it… it would just cause problems later on, so he decided to just come out with it.

“It’s me, Spike,” Spike said.

“Um… sorry to doubt you sir, but Spike is a dragon,” Rarity said.

“Rarity it’s me! I… had my wish granted, and now, I’m a dream stallion,” Spike said.

Rarity seemed a little confused and eyed him suspiciously and decided to test him.

“So… you're Spike?” Rarity asked.

“Yes,” Spike responded.

“Prove it, What was Spike’s pet phoenix named?” Rarity asked.

“Peewee,” Spike easily answered.

“Favorite gem?” Rarity asked.

“Red diamonds, but occasionally sapphires,” Spike said.

“Correct… what about our secret handshake?” Rarity said.

“Trick question, we don’t have one,” Spike said.

Rarity gasped a little, how did he guess that? She had to ask the only other thing she could think of.

“Last question, w-what did he once try to call me as a nickname?” Rarity asked sure this one would reveal the trick.

“Rarest gem of the hoard,” Spike answered confidently.

Rarity took a step back in shock “S-Spike?! It is you!” Rarity exclaimed.

“Told you,” Spike said with a smile.

“Wha-how did this happen?” Rarity asked, honestly trying to not look him over for the hundredth time.

“A stallion who grants wishes granted my wish, now I’m the ideal stallion,” Spike said.

“...And the real reason?” Rarity asked with a deadpan.

“No, really! I can take you to him later, guaranteed, he turned me into a stallion so… I can pursue my dream mare,” Spike said, he felt more confident like this, so he got ready to make his feelings known.

“Your dream mare?... Oh Spike! I am happy for you, who is she?” Rarity asked.

…She didn’t know?.... Well, better late than never he supposed.

“You Rarity, I love you,” Spike said with a charming smile.

“M-me? I-I admit I am flattered Spike, but aren’t you a tad young?... well, looking at you right now you’re clearly not a child anymore but…” Rarity said feeling flustered right now.

“I wished to be your dream stallion Rarity, so we can be together,” Spike said approaching.

“S-Spike, th-think about it, we haven’t even-” Rarity yelped a little bit as he hugged her close.

She felt her tension melt away as she felt his strong body against her body and she smiled and hugged him back.

“We’ve been around eachother enough that we know everything we need to know about eachother, we’ve pretty much done the difficult part already, what say you milady?” Spike made her look up into his eyes “Do you love this version of me?” Spike asked smoothly.

“....I-I… Spike, as I said this is going a tad too fast, perhaps we should… date first?” Rarity offered.

Spike smiled brightly at this, a date! He has a date with Rarity!

“Sure milady, anything you wish,” Spike said.

Rarity blushed when he said that and before she could stop herself she leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

After they parted Spike looked at her in surprise and Rarity mirrored his surprise.

“I-I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over-” Rarity was cut off as he pulled her in for a deep and powerful kiss.

And Rarity didn’t fight it for a second.

“Thanks again!” Carrot Top left with her now bottomless basket of carrots, as she left, she walked past Rainbow Dash and Twilight.

“Huh, so this is the place where wishes are granted… Well, let’s go investigate,” Twilight said and they entered.

As they entered they saw Djinn relaxing atop a new lawn chair.

“Ah… nice an… huh? Oh! More customers,” He got up and walked over before sitting down.

“How may I grant your wish today?” Djinn asked.

“Can it, what did you do to Fluttershy?” Rainbow asked firmly.

“Why whatever do you mean?” Djinn asked.

“She’s acting like an overconfident vixen,” Rainbow said.

“Oh, you mean the yellow who is not so yellow now? If anything I helped her,” Djinn said.

“She’s out there targeting stallions now, I’m worried for her,” Rainbow said.

“Well don’t be, she’s the bravest mare in the world now, and I imagine that mindset is pretty addictive for somepony like her,” Djinn said.

“What are you gaining from this all?” Twilight asked.

“Just minor stuff, but what’s it to you princess?” Djinn said.

“I don’t trust this,” Twilight said looking around for anything suspicious.

“Tell you what, let me grant your hearts desires, that’ll make believers out of you both,” Djinn said.

“What? I’m not falling for that mumbo jumbo,” Rainbow said.

“Come here, try it, what do you got to lose?” Djinn asked.

“My dignity,” Rainbow said.

“Well, have it your way, come back whenever, before I take my leave,” Djinn said.

“And when’s that?” Twilight asked.

“Sometime soon, now if you’ll excuse me, I have more customers,” Djinn pointed to the line behind them.

“Let’s go Rainbow, we can’t prove he’s doing anything bad right now,” Twilight said.

“Ok…” Rainbow said and they took their leave.

“Heh, no you can’t,” Djinn said as he greeted the next customer.
