Hearts And Dragon Scales

It seemed as though Spike had now been a part of a lovers triangle. Spike was patient and decided to stay with Rarity, this way he didn't seem rude. Rarity's eyes were twinkling at the sight of Redhoof, and Redhoofs the same. What was Spike to do? "My fair lady, do I dare ask to see the dress?" Redhoof bowed and smiled, Rarity blushed at the tone of his booming voice "Why of course, please come with me" as they both wondered round the back to her inspiration room, Spike started to panic "What a creep, what has he  got that  I don't?"

Rarity and Redhoof returned to the table where Spike was sulking, "Yes what a fine design, so it will be ready in time for the Royal Ball?" Rarity glanced from spike back to Redhoof "Oh yes it undoubtedly will be complete by then." She glanced back to Spike and questioned "Spike my dear, are you feeling alright?" Spike slowly lifted his head and replied "Yes, I'm fine, I have a lot on my mind." Rarity grinned and in a chirpy tone said "Great, Redhoof needs to go back to his duties so would you help me with the dress?" Spikes scales lifted and his little ears perked up with excitement; "Of course I will!" he blurted out, his cheeks were flushed. Redhoof rose from his seat and shifted  to Rarity he lifted her hoof and kissed it gently "Till next time my fair Rarity" she blushed she curtsied and replied "Indeed, till next time it will be my pleasure" Redhoof trotted gracefully to the door and turned "See you around Spike, it was a pleasure to meet you" then he left.

Through out the rest of the day, Rarity was in a chirpy mood, she smiled and hopped about. Spike saw that after meeting Redhoof; Rarity was in a happy mind set "Rarity, what's got you in a happy mood?" Spike queried, Rarity answerd "Oh Spike, Redhoof is such a charmer, a real gentlecoat. His looks, his voice oh Spike he was just wonderful" whilst skipping through out the room, Spike slumped down into a chair and sighed. He muttered to himself "Yeah. A real charmer hmph" Rarity over heard him mumbeling and couldn't hear what he said "What was that my dear?" Spike slowly stood up from the seat and replied "I said, yes he seemed nice"

As evening came Spike returned home "Twilight. I have a question." Twlight walked down the stairs with many books and sat down "What is it this time Spike?"  Spike drew closer to Twilight and went on to his question; "I wasn't able to tell her, but there was this new Stallion named Sir Redhoof, Rarity is head over hooves for him what do I do?" Twilight took a few moments to contemplate the situation, "Well maybe you need to win her heart, what is he like and compare him to you, what he has and doesnt that you have and don't" Spike raised an eyebrow "But Twilight, I can't get a word in to Rarity, she's in leeps and bounds, she wont stop talking about him!" he shouted. Twilight frowned "Looks like you're green and purple."

Spike was confused, "what has green and purple got to do with it?" Twilight sighed and explained, "dark purple evokes gloom and sad feelings. It can cause frustration which is what you're currently feeling as you love Rarity, but shes intrested in another pony. And green is for envy, your envious towards the stallion as he has captured Rarity's attention." Spike nodded his head as if to say he understood what she means. "So how does that answer my question?" Twilight looked at him "Well....I can't answer that unfortunatly, it's you're heart, you need to find away of dealing with this sudden new romance or win her heart" she said sadley "Anyway it's getting late, let's go to bed, you can sleep on what you're going to do" They both went up stairs to their comfy beds.
