I Won't Accept No for an Answer

Author's Note: I am going to put links to songs on YouTube, to help put you in the moment. Feel free to do it if you like, you don't have to. I usually listen to music when I read stories and I find it helps put me in the right mood. With that out the way... On to the story!

It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville. The sun shone bright, and there was a warm gentle breeze. The flowers came to life, the trees dancing to the breeze. To a particular dragon though, he wanted the sun to go away. He wasn’t ready to wake up yet. Twilight awoke and noticed Spike was not getting up.

“Spike wake up. It’s morning.”

“Five more minutes Twilight.”

“NOW Spike, we need to get our chores early. Don’t you remember you promised Rarity you’d help her with her dresses today?”

“I forgot! Thanks for reminding me Twilight. Let’s start right away.”

“Relax Spike, we still need to eat breakfast before we…”

Spike ran as fast as he possibly could downstairs before Twilight had a chance to finish her sentence. Spike offered to help Rarity with her dresses today, because he was going to use the opportunity to ask her to be his special-mare while he would be alone with her.

As Spike reached the kitchen, Twilight was checking the mail.

He pulled out the pancake mix.

“I’ll make pancakes for breakfast. They’re fast and easy to make.”

He followed the instructions on the back of the box.

“Eight pancakes should be enough.”

Spike cooked the pancakes to a perfect golden colour.

“Twilight breakfast is ready!”

“Coming!”

Twilight arrived to the dining room. Spike came out of the kitchen, a plate stacked with pancakes in each claw. He deposited the first plate in front of Twilight. He then placed his on the table, and took a seat beside Twilight.

“You seem very excited today Spike. More than usual. What’s the occasion?”

“As you know, today I’m helping Rarity make dresses. I’m also going to take the opportunity today to ask her to be my special-mare. It’ll be the perfect time, I’ll be alone with her. She won’t suspect anything. I’m going to pick up the chocolates I ordered yesterday from Sugar Cube Corner. And then I’m going to pick up some flowers. I’m going to enter her Boutique and offer her the flowers and chocolate. While she’s happy from receiving those gifts, I’m going to ask her to be special-mare friend. What do you think Twilight?”

“I think it’s a great idea! I think she’ll say yes. She seems to have feelings for you Spike.” Twilight said nudging him in the shoulder.

“You think so Twilight?” Spike said in his most excited voice.

“She probably thinks I don’t notice, but whenever she knows you’re coming along, she always makes sure she looks perfect. Even more than usual. She wears her most expensive perfumes. And she seems to use a shampoo that makes her mane extra bouncy.”

“I had no idea! Thanks Twilight! That helps me feel a little more relaxed about asking her out.”

“No problem Spike.”

“How about you Twilight, how have you been today so far?”

“I’ve been doing great! I was hoping my book would come in today, but I just checked the mail and I only got bills. But finishing our chores will help cheer me up. Especially when I have my Number One Assistant her to help me!”

Spike blushed at Twilight’s comment. He always enjoyed it when she called him her number one assistant.

They finished eating their breakfast. They brought their dishes to the kitchen. Twilight helped Spike wash the dishes. They then proceeded to do their daily chores. They dusted the books and the shelves. They swept the floor. They put the books on the shelves in alphabetical order according to their section.

“Finally finished. It’s only 3pm. I have enough time to wash up, pick up the chocolates and the flowers before getting to Rarity’s house.”

Spike ran to the bathroom. As he was washing himself he decided to use his favourite scented soap, vanilla. He got out of the bathtub. He made to comb his spikes the way Rarity loved. He made sure his scales were shiny and sparkly. Rarity would always compliment him when he’d do that. After he was finished, he ran downstairs and asked Twilight what she thought.

“You look amazing Spike! Rarity is going to love that for sure.”

“Thanks Twilight. I better run I’m supposed to be there in an hour.”

“Good luck Spike! I hope she accepts your offer.”

“Thanks”

Song

Spike opened the door and walked outside, closing it as he left. The day was perfect. The sun shone in the sky. Not a single cloud was hiding it's beauty. The wind was blowing a comfortably cool breeze. The flowers were dancing to the rhythm of the wind. He decided to go to Sugar Cube Corner to get the chocolate first. As Spike walked into Sugar Cube Corner, he was greeted by Pinkie Pie.

“Hey Spike what’s up?

“I’m here to pick up the chocolates I ordered yesterday.”

“Ooooo are they for Rarity?”

“It’s that obvious huh?"

“Yup, pretty much everypony knows you have a crush on Rarity.” Pinkie said as she went to the back to get the chocolates.

Spike felt a little embarrassed. He forgot he told Pinkie about his crush.

“I made Rarity’s favourites for you. She loves Belgium chocolate the most. I know because that’s what she always orders here.”

“Thanks. I’m off to get some flowers and then I’m going straight to Rarity’s”

“Good luck Spike. I’m positive she’ll say yes!”

“Thanks Pinkie!”

“Before you go Spike, I would advise you get her some purple Lavenders, she seems to like those flowers the most, I’ve noticed.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. See ya Pinkie!”

Spike ran to the florists shop, hoping the chocolates haven’t melted.

“Hey Spike nice to see you. What brings you here today?” The florist asked.

“I’m here to pick up some purple Lavenders for some special mare.”

“Good choice. They have an excellent scent to them. Let me get a dozen from the back.”

The florist came back with a dozen purple Lavenders. Spike paid the florist and walked towards Rarity’s house.

This is it Spike. The moment you’ve been waiting for. Better check to make sure everything is perfect. I’m washed and look perfect for Rarity, check. Chocolates in claw? Check. Flowers in the other claw? Check. Alright I’m ready to see Rarity.

Spike continued to walk to the Carousel Boutique. He started to feel nervous.

Think happy thoughts Spike. You don’t want to screw this up. Think positive. Think about what you love about Rarity. Well to start her mane is the perfect shade of purple, her mane is always beautifully curled and has the perfect bounce to it. Her fur, a perfect white and fluffy like a marshmallow. Her beautiful sapphire blue eyes, perfect. She’s also the most generous pony I’ve ever met. Even more than Twilight. She has been crowned the element of generosity after all. Her smile always brightens up the room. She has a caring nature to everything around her…

Spike arrived at the Carousel Boutique. He took a few deep breaths and knocked on the door. The door was surrounded by Rarity’s signature blue hora as it opened.

“Hello Spike, you arrived just on time, please come in.”

Spike walked in, Rarity closed the door and noticed Spike was carrying something in his claws.

“I got you these purple Lavenders Rarity, and this box of Belgium chocolates.”

“Oh Spike you didn’t have to! Let me get a vase for those flowers.” Rarity said excitement in her voice.

Rarity walked to the kitchen and grabbed a vase and filled it up with water. She took the flowers from Spike and before putting them in the vase, smelled them.

“They smell heavenly Spike! These are my favourites. How did you know to get these?”

“Well they are purple your favourite colour. So I decided to take a chance.”

“Well you chose well. You said you got Belgium chocolates as well?”

“Yeah I asked Sugar Cube Corner to make the best chocolates they had. It turns out Belgium chocolate is the best you can get.”

Rarity grabbed the box of chocolates. She opened the box.

“They look divine Spike. Do you mind if I eat one now?”

“Not at all”

“They’re delicious Spike. Some of the best Sugar Cube Corner has produced yet.” She said sensually.

Rarity put the box of chocolates down and turned her attention to Spike.

“What is that smell Spike? It smells exquisite!”

“That’s the new soap I’m using. It’s vanilla scented.”

“You should use that soap from now on. It’s lovely. I see your spikes are combed the way I love, and your scales are sparkly. What’s the occasion?”

“Well Rarity I have something I want to ask you.” Spike started to blush.

Just then Rarity realized why Spike brought the chocolates and the flowers. And why he paid extra attention to the way he looked. He was going to ask her out.

“Rarity will you be my special-mare?”
