Love is be a powerful thing. It can be amazing, or destructive. It's best not to mess with love, or else it will backfire.
Spike flexed in the mirror. Ever since he grew, he felt the need to look way better. SO he started to work out, and it paid off. Well, at least for him. He smiled, and showed his white teeth. "Alright, Spike. You can do this!" he repeated to himself. He knew he just should relax, but he couldn't. Today he was going to ask Rarity out! He know felt better about his chances, and the fact they have been friends for years.
He started to walk out and Twilight Sparkle, now taking her face out of a book, said,"Good luck!". Spike told her all about what he was going to do last night. He walked to Rarity's happily. He greeted everypony that passed by with a smile. He hadn't been treated as a child ever since he became bigger. It was a blessing to him. Especially since some ponies seemed to take interest in him. But, his heart belonged to Rarity.
He finally arrived at her house, and knocked on the door. "Coming!" said a familiar voice. He took a deep breath and exhaled. A blue outline surrounded the knob, and the door slowly opened. There she was, looking fine as ever in Spike's eyes. "Oh, hello Spike!" she said, with a big smile. "Hi Rarity, can I come in?" Spike said, nervously. "Of course!" she said, as Spike walked in.
"What brings you here?" she asked. "Oh, I-I wanted to uh, tell you something. M-more like a-ask."he said, looking around the room. His eyes shifted around, looking everywhere except to Rarity. "Anything." she said. She noticed he looked nervous. "What could Spike be nervous about? We've known each other for years.", she thought. "Well w-we've know eachother f-for while now...",he said as Rarity nodded,"And, I-I wanted to know I-If you wanted to...g-go out".
She gave an uncomfortable smile. "A, a date?" she said, now doing what Spike had been doing. "Yeah," he said, sighing. He hoped this wouldn't happen. She didn't feel the same way. "I'm sorry Spike, but I see you only as a good friend, let's just pretend this didn't happen." she said, nervously.
Let's just pretend this didn't happen.
He heard the words over and over in his mind. His jaw dropped, and his eyes watered. He tried to speak, but nothing came out. He had mixed emotions. He felt confusion, then passion, the rage. He wiped the tears away. He slammed his claw on the table in front of them. "Spike!"she yelled. "NEVER HAPPENED?! I've given so much for you, and this is how you treat me? I'm done trying. I don't want to see you. Ever." he said, tears again forming in his eyes. "Spike, I..." She said, speechless.
Spike stormed home, cursing away everypony that tried to greet him. He was furious.
Let's just pretend this didn't happen.
Just the though of that made him want to break someones face. A simple no would've been good. He kicked the door to the tree house open, nearly breaking it off. Twilight Sparkle looked with a frown. "So it-" she was cut off by a serious stare. Spike was hardly ever serious, so she took it as her cue to be quiet. He sat down on his small bed. he had so many things he wanted to tell Rarity, but he just wanted to take his mind off of her.
He couldn't stop thinking about her. In a bad way. He thought of all the things he would do to her. He sighed. "Violence isn't the answer." he said to himself. "Spike, are you feeling better?" said Twilight Sparkle, softly. "Go away." He responded, grimly. "C'mon, Spike! Let's go get ice cream or something." she said putting her hoof on his shoulder. "GO AWAY." he said, louder. "Spike." she said. "GET AWAY!" he yelled, throwing a claw.
She backed away, blood, dripping from her chin. She had a rather large cut. "Spike, don't let the anger get to you..." she said, turning away. He had just clawed his best friend in the face because of a rejection. He was disappointed in himself. He needed away to stop the pain. Or, a way to make her hurt.
He suddenly had a genius idea. Ever since Spike matured, he'd been spending a lot more time with ponies other than the ones he'd been around for the past few years. Especially, Sweetie Belle. They were good friends, and he'd always had a "thing" for her. But he had denied it because of his even bigger "thing" for Rarity. She was bigger now as well, and even had her cutie mark. He broke into a devious grin. "Perfect." he said, rubbing his hands together.
About two days later, there was a knocking on the library's door in the morning. "Twilight..." Spike groaned. She sighed. "You lazy dragon!". She opened the door and a white pony with a purple mane stood before her. "Hi Twilight, how's Spike holding up?" she asked. "Come in and see." she said, with no emotion. "Spike?" she yelled in the air. Spike quickly got out of bed, and walked down stairs with a smile. "Morning, Rarity. 'Sup?". Last Rarity had seen of him, he stormed out of her house, leaving dents in her floor. "Hello. I'm really sorry about the whole thing." she said. "Don't be! I've already got past that silly thing. In fact, I felt so good I asked a different pony out!" he said. Her jaw dropped. She was confused, she crushed him and he just asked another pony out? "Is that all he thinks of me now?!", she thought to herself. "G-good for you," she said, with a weak smile.
"Well, I must be going now. Bye!" she said, quickly walking out. Once the door shut, he smiled. All had gone according to plan!
Rarity ran home, confused. "But he, I thought, I, is that all he thinks of me now? Just another pony?" she said to herself. Tears dripped from her eyes. She always denied her love for him, she was a classy pony. She loved Spike, but she wanted a nice, strong stallion. But deep down, she knew she had feelings for him. When she reached her house, she got inside and slammed the door shut. She slid down it, until she was sitting down, crying. "Rarity?", a sweet voice asked. "S-Sweetie Belle?" she asked, weakly.
She stood back up, and wiped the tears from her eyes before Sweetie Belle came trotting in with a huge smile on her face. "Hello, darling!" said Rarity. "Hey sis! I heard some weeping, are you alright?" she asked. "Ha ha! Never better!" she said, trying to sound cheery. "Then we're both having amazing days!" she said. "What happened to you?" asked Rarity. "I have a coltfriend now!" replied Sweetie Belle.
"No, it can't be!", Rarity thought to herself.
"Well, actually more like a dragonfriend!",she said happily.
Rarity felt like she had been hit by a boulder, then stomped on by a minotaur.
Her eyes watered.
"SPIKE!" Sweetie Belle yelled.
"We're going out now! He took me to the park and asked!" she said.
She felt as if she had been crushed.
"G-good for you...", Rarity said, holding back tears.
"Good for you."
Earlier...
"Perfect", Spike said, rubbing his hands together.
"Twilight!" Spike yelled.
He heard no response. He walked around the tree, looking for her. He left no stone unturned but he found her downstairs. Spike opened the door, to see Twilight with her face buried in her hooves, tears streaming down her face. There was a small puddle of blood and tears, mixed together under her.
"Twilight, I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that, it's just...", he sighed, "Rarity is my everything. She is all I could think about, and she shattered my heart. Sorry, Twilight." he said.
He walked to her, and gave her a hug.
"I know Spike. It just hurts, knowing it's so bad you would go as far as this." she said, pointing to her cut.
"I'm gonna get back at her." he said.
The words rung in his head, Let's just pretend this didn't happen.
Twilight looked confused.
"What? How?" she said, wiping away the tears.
"Well, you may or may have not noticed, but Sweetie Belle has been an "interest" of mine." said Spike, gesturing quotations.
Twilight smiled. "Really?" she asked.
Spike sighed. "Yes, you know we've been friends for a while now. We've hung out way more since I grew. Since she's Rarity's sister, I want to make it seem like I don't care for Rarity anymore. I can't wait to see Rarity's face!" he said, enthusiastically.
Twilight's face suddenly became serious.
"No, Spike. You don't know what you're getting into here." Twilight said, sternly.
"Twilight, it might seem extreme but trust me I won't go too far."
Twilight sighed, "C'mon Spike! You don't know wh-"
"I already know, blah blah.." Spike interrupted.
Spike stood up, and walked to the door.
"Be back in a little." he said, walking out.
Twilight knew was no point in trying to stop him
Twilight face-hoofed.
"Why are you so stubborn, Spike?"
Spike looked all around town, looking for her. All the ponies stayed away from him, then he remembered why. At the same time, he apologized to all the ponies he insulted when he was in a bad mood. He looked all over, and had practically gave up, and sat down on a chair in front of a restaurant. Suddenly, he felt a hoof on his shoulder.
"Hey, grump!" a familiar voice said.
Spike turned around, relieved to see Sweetie Belle standing there with a smile.
"So you heard too?" he said, standing up to face her.
"Well yeah, you cursed away like the whole town!" she said giggling.
"I was in a bad mood. Really bad. Anyways, wanna go to the park?" said Spike.
"Sure! I don't have any plans today." said Sweetie Belle.
He felt way more confident about getting with Sweetie Belle. But realizing this could ruin his entire plan if it failed, he became nervous.
"Alright then, let's go!" he said with a weak smile.
The entire way there, they just talked. Spike missed that. They hadn't just talked for weeks, only speaking for about five minutes at Rarity's house, while Rarity was off looking for something. It was nice to catch up. He had forgotten all about his plans just talking to her.
"Here we are!" she exclaimed.
"That took way longer than expected." Spike said, slightly chuckling.
Spike remembered his plans. He was nervous, but he managed to get his words straight.
Spike lead her to a bench, and the both sat down.
"Sweetie, I came here for a reason. We've been friends for a while now, and..." he slowly said.
They peered into each others green eyes silently. Spike gulped.
"This is way harder than I thought it would be...", thought. Spike.
"Uh, do y-you want to go out?" said Spike, barely spitting it out.
If she said no, not only would his plans be foiled, but he would loose her. He never thought this would happen, hoping another pony said yes besides Rarity. But just then, a smile appeared on her face.
"Yes Spike! Of course!" she said, practically jumping with joy.
She jumped into Spike, and he caught her. They both smiled at each other.
Then he realized something.
Twilight was right.
This was something bigger than just a step in his plan.
Something way bigger.
"Thanks, sis! Anyways, I have to go. Spike and I are going on a date. EEK!" she said, cheerfully.
She opened the door and shut it behind her, as Rarity watched. She looked to the window, and saw her happily frolic to Spike. Rarity's lip quivered, and her eyes watered. She walked away from the window, and threw herself on the couch. She planted her face down, and cried.
Spike burst through the door.
"Twilight Twilight Twilight!" he said, running to her.
She peeked out of her book, to see Spike charging at her.
"AHHHH!" she said, as she was tackled by the fumbling Spike.
"Twilight you were right and I was wrong! I asked her out and she said yes now I don't know what to do because now she thinks I'm her boyfriend and even though I like her I cant just break up with her because-"
Spike took a long, deep breath. But Twilight's hoof covered his mouth before he could speak again.
"Stop rambling. I told you that you didn't know what you were getting into." she said.
"I was just so eager for revenge..." he said, sighing.
A knocking was heard down stairs.
"Come in!" Twilight yelled.
The door opened, and Sweetie Belle hopped in. She looked up to Spike and waved.
"Hi Spike! So are we gonna go now?" she asked.
Twilight looked to Spike, first with confusion, then she frowned. All Spike could do was give a nervous smile to Twilight.
"I'll be right down!" he replied.
"Spike, please don't tell me..." Twilight whispered.
"Sorry Twilight, it was in the moment." he said, walking down stairs and giving her a shrug.
Spike walked down, and both Sweetie Belle and Spike hugged.
"Let's go!" Sweetie Belle said, walking out.
Spike walked out with her, giving Twilight one final shrug before closing the door.
"So, where are we going, Spike?" asked Sweetie Belle.
Spike stared straight, until he managed to say," Oh! We're uh, going to that, uh, food place. RESTAURANT! Yes, that place...".
Sweetie Belle knew something was up.
"What if she finds out? How will I break it to her? No, I can't do that..."Spike thought to himself.
"Spike... is something wrong?" she asked, stopping.
Spike cleared these thoughts, he knew he should just enjoy this while it lasts.
"No. Nothing at all." Spike said, smiling.
After some time of walking an talking, they arrived at the restaurant. They walked in, sat down, and ate. It was just a normal date. Spike no longer worried about anything, after just spending one night alone with Sweetie Belle. He knew he wanted this. He knew it was something more.
And he was glad.
Rarity paced around the table at he house.
"Where is she? She's been gone for three hours! Oh, if that dragon did anything at all to her I'll, I'll-"
The door opened, interrupting Rarity.
"Bye Spike!" said Sweetie Belle.
"Later!" Spike said.
Spike went in for a hug, but instead got a kiss on the mouth. Rarity twitched at the sight of this. Not only was Sweetie Belle going out with her love, she was kissing him! She opened her mouth to speak, but everything came out as a whisper. Spike walked off with a goofy laugh from his first kiss. Well, on the lips, that is.
"AH!" yelled Sweetie Belle, now staring at the twitching Rarity.
"I... It's...Why?...He..."Rarity whispered.
"Sis, you look terrible. You should get some sleep or something." said Sweetie Belle, guiding Rarity to her room.
Spike walked home, giggling about the kiss. It may not have looked special, but to him it was. Everyone first kiss is special. He arrived at the tree house, and walked in smiling.
"You seem awfully happy for someone who's in deep trouble." said Twilight, flipping through pages of a book using magic.
"Eh, I think I'll just stick with her. Sweetie Belle's better than I imagined." Spike said, walking towards his bed.
"That's great but what about Rarity?!" she asked.
"OH YEAH! Her face was amazing when Sweetie kissed me!" he said, chuckling.
"That's not what I- wait, kiss?" Twilight asked.
But Spike was already asleep. He'd had a long day.
She just hoped Rarity got over it.
She was still one of her best friends.
Twilight sighed.
"Oh, Spike." she said.
