Ending 1 I won't accept no for an answer

Song

He had made up his mind. As he was walking to the park he decided to look at everything around him one last time. Luna had outdone herself this time. The sky was beautiful the stars were shining brightly, the moon was full. Around him the trees were peaceful, and were beautiful with their leaves fully in bloom. There were flowers of all different colours. There were red, purple, white, yellow flowers. Even the wind was quiet.

Spike had arrived at his destination, the back of the park where there were no ponies in view.

“This is it.” Spike said, talking to himself out loud.

“I don’t see any reason to continue on, Rarity rejected me. I’ll never find love again. Soon I won’t be able to live with my friends anymore…”

Just then Rarity arrived at the park. She heard the sound of someone’s voice.

“Who could that be at this time? Most ponies are asleep by now.”

Rarity walked towards the sound of the voice.

As Rarity walked closer, Spike said.

“It’s time now Spike… here… we… go…”

Spike pulled out the vial of poison from his ‘pocket’.

Rarity could see Spike now.

“Spike. What are you doing here at this time?”

Spike ignored Rarity as he took a swig of the poison. He instantly fell unconscious.

“SPIKE!” Rarity yelled at the top of her lungs.

Rarity ran up to Spike. She noticed the vial of poison in Spike’s claw. She grabbed it, hoping it would help the doctor save Spike. She immediately grabbed his shoulder and put it around her. She started walking to the hospital. Rarity started to cry. She couldn’t hold her tears back.

“Spike why would you do this?” She said depression and sadness in her voice.

“I was going to talk to you about us. I wanted to give US a chance. Why Spike… why…”

Rarity arrived at the hospital. She went through the emergency entrance. They took Spike in right away. Rarity followed them. She refused to wait in the waiting room, she needed to be with Spike. They arrived in the operating room. The doctors checked Spike’s breathing. He wasn’t breathing.

Rarity started crying hard. She feared the worst.

One of the doctors gave him CPR while another took some of Spike’s blood. Spike didn’t respond to CPR. The doctor then checked his pulse… there was no pulse.

The doctor turned to face Rarity. He couldn’t look at her eyes. He knew the news that Spike was dead was the last thing she wanted to hear. He knew he had to tell her.

“Miss Rarity… Spike… Didn’t… Make it. He passed away as soon as you arrived here. The other doctors are doing tests on his blood as we speak to find out the cause. I am… sorry to have to tell you this.”

“NO! Can’t you do anything!? He can’t be dead… I need him around.”

Just then, it hit Rarity. She now knew that she was in love with Spike. Her breathing slowed down, as she started to think about how her life will be from now on without Spike. She couldn’t handle it. She couldn’t live on without knowing if their possible relationship could have worked out. She thought to herself.

The doctors returned with the blood test results.

“Miss Rarity, it seems that Spike died of poison. The smallest amount of this poison can kill a dragon within an hour.”

“Thank you doctor. Could I have a moment alone with Spike?”

“Of course, just let the nurse know when you’re done.”

“Thank you doctor.”

“Spike how could you do this. I always knew you had a crush on me. I didn’t think you loved me enough to do… this.” Rarity said unable to control her tears.

“I don’t know what to do Spike. I now know that I love you the same. I don’t know how to continue living without you in my life. It will never be the same again. You won’t be there to cheer me up when I’m feeling sad. You won’t be there to make me laugh when I need it. No more going gem hunting. No more help from you when I’m making my dresses. I’d be all alone in my Boutique now that Sweetie Belle moved back in with our parents. Spike… I don’t know… what to… do. I have to let Twilight know. She cares about you Spike. She’ll know what to do.”

Rarity let the nurse know she was done and started to walk towards the library. As she was walking towards the library, she was thinking of all the good times she had with Spike.

Rarity arrived at the library. She opened the door and walked upstairs to Twilight’s bedroom.

“Twilight wake up!”

“Who could it be at this time of the night?” Twilight said slowly as she was getting out of bed.

“Rarity? What are you doing here?”

“Twilight… It’s important… It’s about (gulp) Spike.” Rarity said, sadness and depression in her voice.

“What happened? Where’s Spike?” Twilight said as she noticed Spike wasn’t in his bed.

“Spike… is… d…dead.”

“WHAT!?”

“I found him at the park. He drank some poison. I carried him to the hospital. He died when I arrived. The doctors couldn’t do anything to save him.”

“How could you Spike…” Tears formed around Twilight and Rarity’s eyes.

“Wait here Rarity, I’m going to get the others and bring them back here.”

“Alright Twilight.”

While Twilight was getting the others, Rarity took out the vial of poison she hid in her tail.

If I drank some of this, I could join Spike and be with him forever. But then I’d leave all my friends. Seeing how Twilight reacted to Spike’s decision to kill himself, how would she react if I did the same? And the others, how would they react? How would Sweetie take the news that her big sister killed herself? How would my parents react? I don’t care I just want to be with Spike. Anything to be with Spike…

Rarity quickly hid the vial in her tail as she heard the door open.

“Everybody… I have some horrible news. Just a few hours ago Rarity found Spike in the park. He drank some poison. She brought him to the hospital. The doctors told her Spike had… passed away when he got to the hospital.” Twilight said, no emotion in her voice. She was dead on the inside.

“There will be a private funeral held tomorrow night. I will notify Princess Celestia.”

The others unable to say anything were all crying.

Twilight started writing the letter to the Princess.

The others decided to stay with Twilight. She needed her friends’ support. After a few hours everyone fell asleep, except for one. Rarity. She couldn’t fall asleep. She had Spike stuck in her mind. She felt responsible for Spike’s death. She would never forgive herself for that. Never. Rarity continued to lie there thinking about Spike’s reason for his sudden death, until morning.

The sunlight woke the others up. Twilight hurried to get up. She grabbed the letter and waited for Derpy. She arrived and Twilight gave her the letter and told her it was priority mail for Princess Celestia. Derpy took the letter and flew off to Canterlot. She could see in Twilight’s eyes this was an emergency. Twilight walked back into the library.

“Hi guys… Derpy just came by. I gave her the letter. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna should be here within a few hours. We need to get everything ready for Spike’s funeral.

“I’m so sorry about Spike Twilight. Just know we’re all here for you Twilight. If you ever need us, don’t hesitate to ask. We’ll be right over… We miss Spike too Twilight. He was friend to all of us. He was always willing to help us whenever we needed it. He never expected anything in return. He was always there for us. He was our best friend.” Applejack had trouble saying that. The others stared at Twilight. They too felt the same.

They all walked to the funeral home. Just as they arrived, Princess Celestia and Luna had just arrived as well.

“Greeting Twilight we are sorry to hear about Spike’s death” Princess Luna said.

“I know how you feel Twilight. I have seen many ponies pass away in my lifetime. You and your friends are always welcome to visit us in Canterlot. Luna and I are here to support you as well. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor will be here later to attend the funeral.” Princess Celestia said in a friendly tone.

“Thank you both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. I need all the support I can get right now.”

Everyone got ready for the funeral. They all went home to get their speeches ready. Rarity went home and put on the last dress Spike had worked on with her. She kept the vial in her tail. She made sure her tail was well hidden in her dress. She was going to make her decision at the funeral.

Song

It was time for the funeral. The mane 6, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor were the only ones there. Twilight only wanted her closest friends there. One by one they took their turns giving their speeches.

“Spike, you were the funnest friend I’ve met. You were always fun to prank. You were also the most fun dragon at parties, and you were great at cooking. You always made the best party platters and made the best punch… Parties will never be as fun, now that you’re not with us anymore.”

With that Pinkie went back to her seat, her mane deflated. Applejack was the next to speak.

“Spike was the best friend a pony could ask for. He was carin, he was always there for us. I’ll always remember all the times he would help Apple Bloom and the Cutie Mark Crusaders with their schemes to get their cutie marks. How he would help Big Mac and me with apple collecting on the farm. I’ll never forget you Spike. That’s a promise.”

Applejack walked back to her seat. She held her hat against her heart. It was now Rainbow Dash’s turn to speak.

“Spike, you were the coolest dragon I ever knew. You made everything 20% cooler just by being there… I’m sorry I can’t do this.”

Rainbow Dash ran back to her seat, unable to hold back any tears. Fluttershy was next to speak. She spoke in a quiet voice.

“Spike was the nicest dragon I ever met. He was always willing to help me take care of my pets when I needed help. He always gave me courage whenever I needed it. I regret dropping that bucket of water on his head. He never deserved anything bad. He only deserved the best. I will always remember you Spike as the best friend ever.”

Fluttershy was crying as she walked back to her seat. Princess Celestia went next.

“Spike. He was a great friend. He was delivered to me as an egg. Somepony found it in the black market. I used his egg as Twilight’s entrance exam. I even let her raise him once she hatched him. I would have never guessed back then that a dragon could be best friends with every pony. I never knew that he would have a good impact on everypony he knew. I did not even know he would have a big influence on the magic of friendship. He helped us all discover that dragons can live within pony society. I thank you for that Spike. I hope you find peace in the afterlife.”

Princess Celestia gracefully walked back to her seat. Rarity was up next. Rarity walked slowly towards the podium. This is it. The big decision, she thought to herself.

“Spike was more than just a friend to me. I only realized recently that I loved him back. But it was too late. I haven’t been able to think about anything else all day. I feel as though I am part of the cause of his death. I had rejected his offer. After that he never seemed to be the same. He never came back to being his usual happy self. After thinking about his offer over the next few days after that, I decided to give it a try. I decided to go for a walk to the park the night before I was going to tell him that I accepted his offer. When I arrived I found Spike. He drank some poison and instantly passed out. I ran up to him. I noticed the vial in his claw. I carried him to the hospital and went with him in the operating room. The entire time I feared the worst. And my fear came true. The doctor came up to me and told me Spike had passed away when we arrived at the hospital door, there was nothing they could do. After hearing the news, I couldn’t hold back my tears. I asked for some privacy. I talked to Spike. I was lost. I didn’t want to let him go. I needed to be with him. I knew he couldn’t hear me. But I needed to talk to him one last time. After that I ran to the library to tell Twilight the news. I stayed at Twilight’s with the others. I couldn’t sleep that night. Spike was in my mind the entire night. All I could think about is how I caused him to do what he did… Which brings me to now. I am sorry friends, but I need to do this. I can’t go on without Spike in my life.”

Rarity quickly pulled out the vial from her tail and drank some of the poison. Twilight used her magic to knock the bottle out of Rarity’s hoof. But it was too late. Rarity passed out immediately. Everypony ran up to her. Twilight checked her pulse. It had stopped. They all started to cry. They couldn’t believe that they just lost another friend. Princess Celestia took the vial. It still had a little poison left in it. She used her magic to dispose of it.

“Where am I?” Rarity said, confusion in her voice.

Rarity looked around. She was back in Ponyville. Everything looked familiar. There was Town Square. She could also the Carousel Boutique and Sugar Cube Corner. Thinking quickly she ran to the library.

“Is this the afterlife? It must be. That means Spike is probably here. He most likely is at the library. I better hurry. I’m not going to miss my chance this time.”

Rarity arrived at the library. The door was open. She walked inside and looked around. She didn’t see Spike downstairs. She ran up to Twilight’s bedroom. She opened the door and saw Spike sitting in his bed. He looked like the Spike she knew and loved.

“Spike is that you?”

“Rarity! What are you doing here?”

“I couldn’t live on without you Spike. I thought about your offer after the day I declined. I was going to tell you the day after the night you…”

“Killed myself?”

“Yes Spike. I was taking a walk in the park that night to help clear my emotions in preparation for the next day. But then I noticed you there. You ignored my call and you fell unconscious a few seconds later. I ran up to you. I kept the vial with me. A day had passed by and all I could think about was you. At your funeral I decided to join you here in the afterlife. I needed to have you in my life Spike. So, without further ado. Spike I accept your offer, and I won’t accept no for an answer.” Rarity kissed Spike on the lips. Spike blushed.

“You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to hear that Rarity! I love you Rarity.”

“I love you to Spike. How about we make our way to the Carousel Boutique, your new home.”

“Lead the way Rarity.”
