Dressing up a heart.

"Cheer up Rarity" said Spike, his cheeks had gone a rosy pink as he blushed at the look of his crush. "Oh Spike, whatever shall I do? My work needs to be 100% percent accurate, if it's not she will go mad" replied Rarity in a worried state. She paced around the room up to ten times worrying about her designs. She rummaged through her material draws and threw out a range of colors;textures and patterns. "Blimey, that is a lot of clothe" Spike said in a curious way, making him sound interested to please Rarity. "Well of course there is a lot of clothe, I'm a designer" She replied in a sarcastic tone whilst raising an eyebrow. As Rarity searches for inspiration, Spike found a Sapphire blue gemstone in his collection "Rarity! How about this color? It will coordinate well with her coat." Rarity spun round and  rushed to Spike "Oh my Spike It's perfect...Yes  I must find that color...If you don't mind please may I keep this for I can add it to the dress?" Spike stood up and looked at the precious gemstone and looked back at Rarity. Stars twinkled in her eyes he couldn't say no; he handed the gem to her and replied "Sure thing." She kissed him on his head and took the gemstone, whilst picking it up they caught each others eyes Spike undoubtedly starts blushing. Then Rarity trotted off.

As Spike returned home, he sat down and contemplated, on how to explain to Rarity he has a crush on her, "How can I tell her? Hmmm I think I'm going to sleep on this one" He muttered to himself, Twilight overheard Spike and replied "You having heart troubles again Spike?" Spike shot out of his seat with huge eyes and in a panicked tone said "No; of course not, me? Never." He blushed ever so slightly. Twilight sighed and giggled while smiling "You know Spike, love is a difficult thing to explain, but if you really want to tell her then you should, don't worry you know your secret is safe with me" Spike crossed his arms in disbelief "You understand love, phft get over yourself Twilight!" he shouted "I'm going to bed, Night" He stomped up the stairs leaving Twilight with a frown on her face she eventually went back to her studies.

When morning arrived Spike went down stairs, Twilight was sitting there reading a book about magic,like always "Umm Twilight?" He stuttered "I'm sorry about last night, I panicked "Oh Spike it's alright, you know I've been in love before so I understand what you're going through"; her eyes then shifted back down to the book. Spike sat close to Twilight with curiosity "You have? Well what should I do?" Twilight reached over to put the book down, "Well, I ran away from my feelings, I was more interested in books, but now I would of told them how I felt, you just do not know if it will be too late and miss that chance" she replied with a half smile expression on her face. Spike stood up to leave the building "Where are you off to?" Questioned Twilight. Spike turned slightly to reply to her comment " I'm going to tell her" he shut the door behind him as he left. Twilight got hold of her book again and mumbled "Good luck" and went back to reading.

Spike finally arrived at Raritys house, he knocked on the door, as it opened he saw the beauty of Rarity. Her mane was perfectly placed, her white coat glistened in the sun  and her eyes were like baby blue sapphires incrusted with a starlights glow. "Oh Spikey-Wikey please do come in would you like a tea and a ruby on the side?" She smirked with a cute side smile as she gestured him to come in. "Thanks Rarity, that would be a pleasure" as he entered he saw a dashing young stallion,

awaiting Rarity. "Hello my name is Spike please to met you sir." The stallion grinned and shaked his hand "Ah what a pleasure to meet you spike. My name is Sir Redhoof" Rarity entered the room with a salad and iced tea for Sir Redhoof and a tea and a ruby for Spike. She sat down gracefully and started to converse "So Sir Redhoof what bring's you to my humble home?" She was in a trance while looking deeply into his eyes, "Well, I'm part of the royals and Princess Celestia asked me to come here to inspect the dress" Raritys ears perked up "Your a royal, Oh pardon my rudeness, it's a pleasure to have you here and meet you on such a fine occasion. The dress is nearly done, I'm on the hunt for some beautiful gemstones to match Princess Celestias fine stature." She smiled gracefully, Spike glanced at Rarity his eyes and moved to RedHoofs, they were both glazed  over as if they were a couple....Oh no this means Spike might of already lost his chance, just like Twilight said!

Green and purple envy

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.
