Prologue: First Day

Prologue: First Day

Ponyville just got a new school for young fillies and colts after they finished the elementry school.  The school is just a few minute walk outside of Ponyville.  The building is only one story and there is a small greenhouse on the roof with stairs leading to it from the inside.  The front entrance is in the center and there is a couple of side doors on each side of the building and there is a field that is used in gym class.  Even though it was opened, the school is a small one because there seem to be not many mares and colts living in Ponyville.  As soon as it was opened, many parents enrolled there young mares and colts into the school and they even got some teachers from other parts of Equestria.

As soon as it was opened, many parents and young teenage ponies are all heading there.  Just as two pegasi, one is a young orange coated mare and the other is a light blue stallion both of which is flying towards the school.

The young mare then says "So this school is it going to be good?"

"I heard that it is." said the stallion

"Well where did you hear that?"

"From the mayor.  And if you want to know some of your old friends may be going there."

"Thanks, that's good to know."

Both of them continued on there way until the stallion says "So, hope you are going to have fun and you do know the way from here?"

"Of course I do, I can see it from here."

"I know it is, I just hope you know your way."

The mare then facehoofs and says "Look Soarin, ever since you and Dash adopted me you've been treating me like a filly."

Soarin then looks towards her and says "I know Scootaloo, and I'm sorry if I've been treating you like one and I worry about you sometimes."

Scootaloo then smile and says "I know dad, I know."

So both of them then continue on flying towards the school laughing.

(**)

Two earth ponies are walking along a path that leads to the new school which goes across a field, one is a young yellow coated mare and the other is a dark yellow stallion.  The young mare is skipping around and shouting "This is going to be so much fun, a new school and I heard my friends may be there."

The stallion then says "Calm down Applebloom, you don't want to tire yourself out on your first day?"

The young mare stops and says "Sorry Caramel, its just that this is going to be so much fun."

Caramel shakes his head while laughing and says "I know your excited, and try to keep your saddle on."

Applebloom then gives a stern look at Caramel and says "Alright Caramel, you may be my brother-in-law since you married my sister Applejack but that dosen't mean that you can boss me around."

Caramel puts up a hoof and says "Actually, your brother Big Mac told me I should and also his marefriend Fluttershy made you that saddle."

Applebloom takes adeep breath and says "I know."

So the two earth ponies continue walking towards the school and to a new life.

(**)

Somewhere behind those two earth ponies walks two white unicorn mares.  Upon closer inspection though, one could tell one is older then the other.  As they are walking along the younger mare kicked up some dirt which made the older one put up a hoof and say "Sweetie Belle, please don't kick up so much dirt."

The younger one sighs and says "Rarity, why must you care about your appearance?"

"It's not my appearance that I'm worried about, it's yours I'm worried about."

Sweetie sighs again and says "Rarity!  Not everypony would care how I look like."

"I know that, but who knows you may meet a handsome stallion there."

Sweetie Belle smiles and says "Like somepony that is like Braeburn?"

Rarity gets a look of shock and says "Why young miss, Braeburn is a gentlecolt and if you must know me and him are going out tonight."

"Does Applejack know you and him are seeing each other?"

"Why yes she does and she is in fact happy for me."

Both unicorns then continue walking towards the new school and Rarity hopes that Sweetie Belle finds an nice stallion there.

(**)

Meanwhile, a young purple dragon whom is now the size and hieght of an pony is seen walking up a hill.  He is carrying a blue knapsack on his shoulders.  When he finally gets over the hill he then sees the school and says "Well Spike, you've finally made it."

His mind then goes back to yesteraday

Yesteraday

"Twilight, Why must I go to this school?"

Twilight is sitting at her desk getting some school supplies and putting them in a blue knapsack and says "Well, I thought that you should get out more and meet other ponies and make your own friends."

Spike then sighs and says "But who will help you?"

"Don't worry, Owlowisious will help."

Spike then crosses his arms and says "Ok then, but he can't help you forever."

"Spike, this will be a great opportunity for you to make friends."

Spike then sits down and thinks until he says "So, how are things between you and that stallion, whats his name."

Twilight then turned towards him and says "Spike!  His name is Cherry Fizzie and he is actually a nice colt."

Spike then waves a hand and says "Yeah whatever."

"Besides" said Twilight "I already set you up to go there and attend and yes the mayor is allowing you to go there."

All Spike could do now is facepalm at this new development

Present

Spike sighs and continued on walking towards the school thinking about all the good times that he might experience there.

(**)

Along the way, three colts are seen walking along the same path.  One colt is a light grey pegasus, another is an painted earth pony colt and the last one is an tan peagasus one.  All three of them are walking along the path talking.

"So Featherwieght, how is your photography hobby coming along?" said the grey colt

"Fine Rumble, just fine."

Then the painted earth pony said "Well now guys, what do you think about this school?"

"Well," said Featherwieght "I heard its going to be fun."

"I heard its going to be awesome Pipsqueak." said Rumble

All three of them laugh and continue onwards, while behind them is a young light purple unicorn mare with a blond mane and tail.

Chapter 1: Reunion

Chapter 1: Reunion

After Soarin left, Scootaloo finds herself at the front enterance seeing other teenage ponies walking in and standing around and talking to other ponies.  She then just shrugs and went inside.  When she got inside, she sees that there is a long hallway lined with lockers and another hallway to her right that goes ninety degree turn.  She even sees on one side of her some doorways with a sign that says Cafeteria above it and on her right side is some glass windows and above it says Main Office.  Inside the office she sees a small line of ponies and sees that is the place she may need to sign in.

As soon as she went into the office, the pony behind the desk says "Hello, may I help you?"

"Well, I was wondering if this is where I sign in." said Scootaloo

"Yes of course." said the pony after she pulled out a notebook "Now what is your name?"

"Scootaloo."

The pony then opened up the book to the S's and looked into it while saying "Scootaloo...Scootaloo...yes!  Here it is.  Welcome to Ponyville High Scootaloo, please head towards the gym down the hall."

Scootaloo thanked the pony and went out the door and went down the hallway passing some more lockers and classrooms.  Along the way, she sees three cotls walking ahead of her.  As soon as she got closer she hears them say

"So Rumble, how are you and that Dinky doing?"

The grey colt then says "Well Pip she is alright and I heard she may be coming here."

Then the cream colored one said "Sweet!  So what do you think we may be hearing in the gym?"

"Don't know Featherwieght." said Pipsqeak

Before anyone of them could say anymore, they finally arrived at the gym.  So all of them went inside and Scootaloo then finds a seat by herself.  And when she sat down, a white mare then came up to her andsays "Hey Scoots, is that you?"

Scootaloo then looks up and says "Sweetie Belle!"

Both of them then hugged and sat down and Sweetie says "So, how have you've been?"

"Fine, and Soarin and Dash are as awesome as ever."

"Yea, I remember the day they announced that they are adopting you."

Both then laugh at the memory and Scootaloo says "Yep, and Pinkie threw a big party for alomost an entire day."

Before Sweetie Belle could say anything, a yellow and red mane and tail with a pink bow in her mane came up to them and says "Hey there you two."

Both of them looked up and Sweetie Belle says "Applebloom, how have you been?"

Applebloom sat down next to Cootaloo and says "I'm fine, and how have you two been?"

"I've been doing great." said Sweetie Belle

Scootaloo just shrugs and says "Wll, I've been doing alright, except for..."

"For what Scoots?" said Applebloom

"Well, Dash has been acting wierd lately and Soarin has been watching like she was sick or something."

Applebloom raises an eyebrow and says "Has she been throwing up every now and again and holding her stomach?"

"Yeah she has been."

"Well Scoots, seems like she is pregnant."

Scootaloo's eyes then went wide and she says "What!  How can you tell?"

"The same thing happened to Applejack a couple months ago thats why."

Before Scootaloo could say anything, Sweetie Belle says "Hey, is that Twilight Sparkle at the stand there?"

All three of them then looked towards the center of the gym and sees that Twilight is there at the center.  After the entire gym went quite, Twilight then says "Welcome everypony.  My name, I'm sure all of you know is Twilight Sparkle and I've been assigned as the Headmisstress at this school."

There was some mumbling and a little wispering until Twilight says "I know, I know, your all wondering how I got this position, well the Mayor was kind enough to ask me to take the job here and I kindly accepted.  And also I would like to welcome all of you to the first year of this schools opening."

There was some cheering and after a while Twilight says "I know all of you are excited to start the year.  So I would like you all to get a form here that will have your schedules for this year and what number locker you will be having."

Afterwards, all the ponies went on towards the stand and got there forms.  And Scootaloo and her friends went off to find there lockers.  Then Applebloom says "Well now, seem like I have something called Home Ec. first"

"Hey, same here." said Sweetie Belle

"I got the same first class also." said Scootaloo

"Well now that's wierd." said Applebloom

All three of them then went on towards there first class which is on the other side near the cafeteria.  As soon as they arrived at there class, they see a desk with a blue unicorn whom got up and said "Hello, welcome to Home Ec. please take a seat."

So all of them then turned around and sees a few rows of desks and behind there is some sort of a kitchen.  When they all sat down, they then see three colts whom Scootaloo regonize come in and they sat down.  Then they see a purple dragon come in whom they all regonize as Spike.  He then sat down at a desk and behind him came a light lavender unicorn which Rumble regonizes and waves her over which she happily does and sat beside him and then she hugged Rumble.  Then a grey mare came in and Applebloom sees her and says "Hey girls, Silver Spoon is here."

They look at her and Sweetie says "Yep, but where is Diamond?  Those two are always together."

"I heard that her and Silver had a fallen out of sorts a couple months ago." said Scootaloo

After a while, two colts came in and then another mare came in behind them.

After they all came in and sat down, the stallion behind the desk stood up and say "Welcome everypony.  I'm Pokey Pierce and I'll be your teacher for this class."  he then walks around the desk and says "And you might be wondering about something that has to do with your schedules.  Well, the Mayor thinks it will be good if we had the students go in groups to there classes.  And now I'm going to call out your names and say here if you are here."

He then went back to the desk and says "Applebloom."

"Here."

"Dinky."

"Here."

Scootaloo."

"Here."

"Pipsquak."

"Here."

"Twist."

"Here."

"Rumble."

"Present."

"Featherwieght."

"Here."

"Silver Spoon."

"Here."

"Snips."

"Here."

"Snails."

"Here."

"Spike."

"Here."

After he called out there names he then says "Well now, that seems to be everypony.  And as for this class, you will be learning things like how to handle money, cooking, and caring foals and other things."

Featherweight then raises his hoof and Pokey says "Yes?"

"Why do we need to learn this stuff?"

"Well, even if you all already got your cutie marks, you need to know how to take care of yourselves.  So let us begin."

So then the first day of school began.

Chapter 2: Lunch

Chapter 2: Lunch

Around midday, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom find themselves in the cafeteria sitting at the same table.  When they all sat down, they see many other tables around them filled with ponies.  Scootaloos lunch is just a simple daisy sandwich with some orange juice, Sweetie Bells lunch is a bit more fancy which it looks like it came from Canterlot, and Appleblooms lunch is a couple sandwiches with some apple fritters for dessert.

Scootaloo is busy eating her sandwich when Sweetie says "Well this is a fine first day."

"Fine," said Scotaloo "I know for a fact math isn't my strong subject, sure addition and subtraction is easy but multiplication with fractions now those are tough."

"I have to agree with you Scoots, those math problems are tough." said Applebloom

All three of them then continued eating there lunch and talking about the afternoon classes.

"So, what else do we have later?" said Scootaloo

"Well I have Equestrian History next." said Applebloom

"And I have some gym next," replied Scootaloo "Finally something that seems fun."

All three of them then laugh at this and continued eating.

(**)

Meanwhile on the other side of the cafeteria, Spike was eating alone eating some gems that Twilight gave him to eat since she knows what kind of food they would have there.  He was busy eating when he hears a voice say "Spike!  How are you?"

He then turned around and sees Pipsqueak, Featherweight and Rumble standing there and then he says "Fine and you're welcome to sit here."

"Thanks Spike." said Pip

After they all sat down they then start to eat and after a few minutes Featherweight says "So how is everypony doing on there first day?"

"So far it has been alright and fun so far." said Pip

"Same for me." said Rumble

"I can see how it will be alright for you, you've been looking at Dinky all the time in our last class." said Pip

All of them laugh at this while Rumble blushes and says "So, me and her are going steady now."

"Lucky you, and how is she when you two are alone and when you were kissing in that one hallway in between the shop class and the gym?" said Pip

Rumbles face even went more red then before and says "You saw that?"

"When I was going to my shop class I thought I heard something and when I looked around the corner, there you two were with your lips locked and hooves around each other and your back up against the wall, and I thought I saw her hooves going all through your mane and you were having a major wing-boner all through out it."

While he was saying this, Rumble sinks into his seat while his entire face went red with embarrassment also his and Featherwiegts wings popped out from hearing all this.

Spike was trying his best not to laugh at all through out this talk.  But then the entire table burst out laughing until Rumble pulls a grin on his face and he says "That's alright with me, but I saw the way you were looking at Applebloom in Science class."

Now it is Pips turn to blush and say "What do you mean?"

"You know, you had the perfect position in class to see her and I even saw some drool coming out of your jaw."

Featherwight then laughs and says "Good one Rumble, high hoof." and him and Rumbled puonded hooves together

"All right, all right, I have a crush on Applebloom so what Feathers has one on that Scootaloo." said Pip

Featherwight then looked at Pip and says "What, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Come on Feathers, I saw the way you were looking at her that one class you had those love strucked look on you." said Pip

Featherwight then blushes some more and says "Hey Spike, since we are all saying our crushes, do you have one?"

Spike then looks upon all the faces that are looking at him.  He then scratches his head with a nervous look and finally he says "Fine, the one I have a crush on now is Sweetie Belle."

All three of them then get a surprise look until Pip says "Wow, Can't get the sister so you go for the younger one."

Spike then blushes and says "All right, so Rarity wasn't the one for me but I moved on from her and we are still friends."

"Yes, of course you are." said Rumble and when they continued eating he then says "So, how are we going to tell our crushes how we feel?"

Featherwight then says "The Winter Dance is coming up soon."

They then give him a confused look and he then says "Oops, We were supposed to announce that next month and yes, I'm part of the school newspaper in this school."

"That sounds like a great idea." said Pip "Next month we will start to ask them about it."

They all then agreed to it and shooke hooves and a claw.

(**)

Unknown to both tables, a lone mare is watching them and heard everything.  So she decided to have some fun with what she heard.

Chapter 3: School Project

Chapter 3: School Project

A couple of months later, the leaves are changing colors to start the season of fall.  Even with the start of the new season, the new school still going on.  It is now morning of a new day and a new week.  And also of more work and more fun for some ponies.

Scootaloo was racing along on her scooter as fast as she can.  She knew she was going to be late because it seemed like that Soarin and Dash were having a night out and came home late and she made the mistake of staying up late doing anything she wanted.  And now she is late and Dash had already scoled her because of it.  She is moving as fast as she can until she came to a screeching halt at the front of then school.

She then took off her helmet and ran inside but then was seen by a hall moniter.

"Hold it, where do you think you're going?"

Scootaloo turned around and sees a grey earth pony and replied "I'm off to first period."

"Well now, that started a few minutes ago and I want to see you in after school detention young lady."

Scootaloo mumbled under her breath "That is the fourth detention this month.  Huh, an new record." and walked off towards her locker to put in her scooter and her helmet.  Afterwards, she then walked along the hallway and when she arrived at her class, she could hear talking.  She then opened the door and the blue unicorn teacher says "Well Scootaloo, glad you could make it.  Please, take a seat."

Scootaloo then sat down beside Applebloom whom gave her a worried look to which Scootaloo just shrugs.  Pokey then stood up and says "Alright class, today we are going to be working on a project which is going to last a month.  This idea came to me some time ago and now I hope all of you will enjoy it."

His horn then glowed a white aura around it and a box which appears to be holding some stuff pony dolls.

Rumble then raises his hoof and says "Hey Mr. Pierce, why are there dolls there?"

Pokey just giggles and replied "Glad you ask Rumble, these are not ordinary dolls, these dolls have a few spells on them and also you and a mare in this room are going to take care of them."

All of a sudden, relization dawned on the students which he then says "That's right students, today you are going to learn how to be parents."

He then picked up the box and walked towards the rear of the class and says "Rumble, since I see you and Dinky together sometimes in Ponyville, you and her will be partners."

Rumble took the doll and looked towards Dinky whom is just smiling to which Rumble smiled back.  Pokey then walked towards Pip and says "Mr. Pip, you and Applebloom are going to be partners."

Pip then took the doll and sees Applebloom with a blank look to which he just smiled and waved to her.  Then to his surprise, she did the same thing to him.

After a while, he arrived at Spike and he says "Spike, you and Sweetie Belle are partners."

Spike shows a concerned look to which he looked at Sweetie and she had a confused look also.

"And lastly, Featherwieght you and Scootaloo are partners."

At first Feather was happy until he sees Scootaloo with a stern look which gave him chills down his spine.

"All right class, I want you to now sit next to your partners and for the remainder of the month, that will be your seats for now and you have the rest of the class to get to know them."

So then every student in there moved next to there partners and everypony started to talk to each other.

"Oh my," said Dinky excitedly "this is going to be so much fun."

"I guess it would be fun." said Rumble

Applebloom then says "Well, this could get interesting."

"Yep, I think it will." said Pip

Spike is looking at the doll when Sweetie says "Well, this might be fun and strange all at once."

Spike nodded his head and says "I agree."

As for Featherwieght and Scootaloo, all they are doing is looking at the doll until Scootaloo says "Ok, let's just get this over with."

All Feather could do was nod his head.

As soon as the bell ran, the mares then took the dolls, all except Scootaloo to which Feather had to hold onto it, and went on towards there next classes.

(**)

Later after school, Applebloom was walking home with the little baby when she hears somepony calling to her.  When she turned around she could see that it was Pipsqueak.  She then waited until when he finally catches up, he was panting, but when he catches his breath he then says "So Applebloom, how should we do this?"

"Well, we could try to take care of it and well.." she thinks for a minute but then gets a evil like smile to which Pip says "Applebloom, why are you smiling like that?"

"Well, I just remembered what my granny said one time that if I ever get married, the colt that is with me will have to work on the farm."

Pip just stands there will a worried look but then shackes his head and say "I'm up to the challenge."

"Alright then, follow me."

So then both Pip and Applebloom walked off towards Sweet Apple Acres.

(**)

Spike is walking alongside Sweetie Belle and holding the doll when he says "So then Sweetie, what would your sister say about this?"

Sweetie thinks for a minute until she replied "Well she would think it is so cute and try to help me."

Spike laughs and says "Twilight will respon the same way."

So both of thne laugh and continue walking.

(**)

Featherwieght is busy holding the doll when he sees Scootaloo coming towards her.  At first he thought she was coming to help.  But she just flew off and Featherwieght says to himself "This is going to be hard on me more then her."

Chapter 4: Hard Day

Chapter 4: Hard Day

It has been an entire week since the start of the project and Pipsqueak finds himself outside in the eastern apple fields.  While he is working, his mind wonders back to the day this all started.

One week ago

Him and Applebloom find themselves in front of the barn at Sweet Apple Acres.  Pip even wondered how he got there so fast.  Before he could do anything, the door opened and standing there was Applejack and Pip saw that she was well on her way to having a foal.  He could also tell that she got up from bed and she was looking at them, more at him, with a strange look on her face.  When she saw the doll, she said "So AB, doing that project right?"

"Yep AJ, and Pip here is my partner."

She then looked at Pip and he could do nothing but smile and wave.  And then to his surprise, AJ smiled and said "Hey Caramel, Big Mac, seems like we have a new helper."

Two stallions then came to the doorway and Pip saw that they are a bit bigger then him.  The yellow one then came beside AJ and wraped around a hoof around her and said "So, a new recruit for us to handle hey Mac?"

"Eeyup." said the red stallion

Pip then realized that he is in deep water now.

Present

Pip then continued onwards until he hears a stallion whom he regonized as Caramel "Hey there Pip, brought you some ice cold cider."

Pip then looked at him with a strange look which made Caramel laugh and say "Don't worry, it's not that kind of drink."

Then after he put down the tray from some sort of contraption that has two arms which leads to around his neck and the arms are holding the tray.  Caramel noticed what he is looking at and says "This, it's something that Applebloom made about a few months ago which have been helpful in many ways."

Pip then just shrugged and took one of the ciders and drank out of it.  Caramel then did the same thing and both of them sat there for a few minutes until Pip says "Hey Caramel, how did you and AJ meet?"

Caramel gives him a surprised look and says "What brought this on?"

Pip then replied "No reason, just curious."

Caramel then sighs and says "Well, it all started about a year ago, I was just finished up one of my side jobs when Derpy crashed in front of me and says 'Mail for you Cara.'  So then I took my mail and then I saw that it wasn't mine, it was Actually belonged to Applejack, so I then went off to her home and well, it turned out that she got my mail on accident.  At first we just thought is was an accident but then it happened again and then well, I started falling for her and then she fell for me also.  Then a week after that we started dating and then a month later we were married."

Pip was surprised when he heard this.  Even more so when Caramel says "Now why would you want to learn that?"

"I told you, no reason." he replied with a small blush which he tried to hide.

But unfortunaly, Caramel saw it to which he then smiled and says "You like Applebloom do you?"

Pip blushed even more and says with a stutter "W-Well, nope I mean yes I mean, maybe."

Caramel then giggled and says "Don't worry, this school project that you and her have to do should provide you with ample opportunities to get to know her."

Before he could say anything, Applebloom then walked up to them with a saddle baby carrier and the doll there.  After she came up to them she says "Alright Pip, your turn to watch over little Apple Fuji."

Pip then gets a surprised look and says "Apple Fuji?"

"My geat grandfather was called that and yes this is a boy and yes he likes it.  And if you must know, our teacher put in a little spell on it to tell us what gender it is."

All Pip could do is sit there with a worry look when he was giving the doll and then all of a sudden it moved.  Pip then gave a startled scream to which Caramel and Applebloom laugh and Applebloom says "Also he gave them a little life spell shich only lasts for a month and a spell which can tell who is its parents are."

"So then he planned this all along?" said Pip

"Possible." replied Caramel

All Pip could do then is facehoof while at the same time a smell is starting to come out of the babies diaper to which Applebloom says "Well, it's your turn to change the baby."

Pip then does a double facehoof.

(**)

After Pip changed the diaper and put it in a crib, he was just about to leave when Applebloom says "Where are you going?"

"Home." said Pip

"Now hold on, remember we are also supposed to live together also."

"But what about your family?  If I sleep with you they may get the wrong idea."

Applebloom laugh and says "Don't worry, they think it's alright IF, you keep your hooves to yourself."

Pip then nodded and then she says "Great, come on I'll show you to my-I mean our room."

He then followed her up to her room and when he and her got inside, he sees that there is a workbench on one side of the room and some papers of drawings.  He then looked towards Applebloom and he was surprised by what he sees, Applebloom just took off her bow and her mane went down halfway her legs and when she sees him looking at her she says "What, you did not think that I sleep with my bow on did you?"

He then shakes his head and she just laughed and crawled into bed and then after a few seconds, Pip then crawled into bed and he even tried his best to control himself.  After he got into bed and closed his eyes, he felt a pair of lips kissed his cheeck.  He then opened his eyes and sees that it was only Applebloom but she has her back to him.  He then blushed and thought "Does she like me I wonder?"

He then closed his eyes with a smile on his face.

As for outside the doorway, Caramel and AJ saw the whole thing to which Caramel said "Do you think Applebloom likes him?"

Applejack then says "Well, you told me he likes her and she told me she likes him, so this might be good for them both."

Then both Caramel and Applejack then went ot there room to which AJ then laid on her back and Caramel laid beside her with a hoof around her midsection and says "Well if he likes her, how long do you think he will tell her it?"

Applejack then puts a hoof over his and says "I would say about a month."

Both of them then laugh and laid in bed together.

Chapter 5: Sweet Day

Chapter 5: Sweet Day

Spike finds himself walking towards Sweetie's home.  On his way there, he decided to walk slowly and admire the small town.  The sun is nearing noon and there isn't a cloud in the sky and many ponies are outside walking and enjoying the outside.  When he finally arrived, he walked up to the door and knocked.

After a few minutes, he heard some noise inside and then the door opened and standing there is Braeburn standing there without his vest and hat.  And his mane is brushed in an fancy way.

"Hi there Spike, I guess you are here to see Belle right?"

"Yes, and I didn't know you were here Brae."

Braeburn then just laughed and says "Well, I like to make surprise visits every now and again."

After he showed Spike inside, he then noticed that Rarity is standing by a table setting up what appeared to be a romantic dinner.  At first he thought it was for him and Sweetie because he knows that he and Sweetie are working on a project and that she could've told Rarity.

Rarity then noticed the look he had and said "Don't worry, this is for me and Braeburn, and if you are wondering where Sweetie is she should be upstairs in her room."

"Thanks Rarity." said Spike

"No problem."

So he then went off towards the stairs.  Before he went up, he turned around and what he sees made him blush, both Braeburn and Rarity were kissing and both had a hoof around each other.  Before his face gets any redder and he gets caught looking, he then went up the stairs and sees Sweetie's room open, he then went to it and knocks.

He then hears a voice which to him sounded like an angel that said "Come in."

After he opened the door, he then sees that the room is nice and clean and on one side is a bed and on the other is a baby crib.  He then spots Sweetie Belle sitting in an chair with a small bundle which Spike assumes is the baby doll.  She then looked up and says "Hey Spike, glad you could make it, seems like our young filly misses you."

Spike could only smile when he remembered when they found out that it was a filly and it was Sweetie's idea to name it Jasmine.  "Well then I guess it is my turn to watch over her."

Sweetie then smiled and says "Yes indeed."

She then gets up and walked over to him while carrying the filly with her magic and hoofed her to Spike who gently took her and when he did, the youg doll then cuddled up to him and Spike could not help himself but smile.

"So whats going on downstairs?"

Spike looked up and says "Well, last I saw Braeburn and Rarity where just starting on there dinner."

Sweetie Belle then laughed and says "Well then glad they are happy and they weren't doing some other thing."

"What thing?" said Spike with a confused look.

"Well, one day when I got home early, the house seemed empty until I heard something and when I saw it was coming from my sisters room.  I made the stupid mistake of opening it and not knocking it because I saw Braeburn on-"

"Stop right there, I can picture it from there." said Spike suddenly and also he saw that Sweeties face was going red when she was explaining it.

They then continued talking when they heard a door close and Sweetie sighs and says "Great, they are doing it again."

"You mean." said Spike with a worried look

"Yep, happens every week when Braeburn comes over to visist, they have a romantic dinner and then you know what happens."

"Well then, the day is still young, why don't we go for a walk."

Sweetie then smiles and says "That wounds wonderful."

After they got ready and went outside, from an upper window Rarity says "Well, there they go."

Braeburn was standing behind her and says "So tell me why you are doing this?"

"Well now darling, they look so cute together and I cold see that Spike likes her."

"How?"

"Well is is all in the eyes, he has the same eyes every time he looks at her the same way he looked at me."

Braeburn then rubs his chin and says "Well that makes sense."

Rarity then turned around and says "Of course it is."

Both of them then laugh and continued to watch Spike and Sweetie Belle walk off towards the park.

Chapter 6: Flightless Day

Chapter 6: Flightless Day

Somewhere else in Ponyville, Featherwieght finds himself changing the diaper of the doll in the kitchen, whom he found out that it was a colt and the name he gave it is Jade.  At first he didn't mind the work.  But after a week he is a bit aggitated that Scootaloo isn't helping him.  He even has to use a mane clip to plug his nose to avoid the smell.

After he was done, he hears a voice behind him

"Whew, what is that smell?"

Feather then turned around and he sees his dad whom is an yellow earth pony with a dark brown mane and tail with a camera as a cutie mark.

"Nothing dad, except my project needed changed."

"Isn't your partner is supposed to help you?" replied his dad with a concerned look

Featherwieght sighs and says "Yeah, she is but she didn't seemed interested in doing it with me."

"What's this that I hear that a fellow student doesn't want to help?"

Around the corner came an cream colored pegasus with a blue mane and tail with a tornado for a cutie mark.

"Why yes Solar Wind, I think Feathers partner is refusing ot help him."

The mare, named Solar Wind laughs and says "Well then High Shot, what should we tell our son to do?"

High Shot then says "Well then he should go to her house and talk to her."

All Featherwieght could do is shake his head and say "Alright mom and dad, I'll go see her and talk to her."

He then put on a baby carrier saddlebag on and put the doll into it and was about to head out when his mother says "Hold on dear, please put on a scarf."

Her mother grabbed a black and white scarf from a closet and wraped it around Featherwieghts neck to which he says "Mom, I don't need a scarf."

"Oh come on son, I heard ist going to be cold tonight and that you should be prepare for anything."

"Dad!  Tell mom I don't need one."

High Shot just laugh and says "Sorry son, she can be a stubborn one when it comes to these things."

All Featherwieght could do is sigh and allowed his mom to put it on him.  After she put it on he then went outside and was walking towards Scootaloos home when he sees Rumble and Dinky pushing a carriage and it seems like Dinky likes doing what they are doing and Rumble is walking beside her with a wing wrapped around her.  He then smiled and then flapped his wings and flew off towards the only cloud home in the sky.

(**)

Soarin is in the kitchen wearing an apron cooking lunch which is some sandwiches and a few drinks.  He then heard what appeared to be the door being knocked on and then he heard Dash say "Hey Soarin, could you get that, I'm still holding the baby."

Soarin then sighed and remembered the day that Rainbow Flash was born and they had there hooves full when he was born like he never wanted to be put down, for the first month he was flying all over the place and it was also hard on Scootaloo even if she is still happy of being an aunt in someway.

He then went to the door and when he opened it, he sees an young stallion with an baby saddlecarrier that seems to have a doll in it that resembles a baby foal.  Then the stallion says "Hello, is Scootaloo here?"

After Featherwight said that, he then noticed that the older stallion has an apron on that says Kiss the Cook along with a heart underneath it. "Well yes she is here," said the stallion "would you like to come on in?"

"Sure." said Featherwieght

As soon as he entereed, his first thought of the house is that it is bigger then it looked and that he and Soarin went down a short hallway which led into a small room that has a couch on one side and another doorway that led to what Featherwight assumes is the kitchen.

Featherwight then sees Rainbow Dash on the couch with a young colt on her lap.  After she looked up, she says "Hello there Featherwight, you here to see Scootaloo?"

"Yes miss Dash." said Featherwight nervously

"Please, no need for the miss, that makes me sound old." said Dash

Soarin then laughs and says "Well now, I'll go get Scootaloo."

"Alright then."

After Soarin left, Featherwight then sits down and says "So, how is Scootaloo?"

Dash then gets a worried look and thinks for a minute until finally she says "She's doing fine, except that she has trouble in school."

"Wow."

Featherwight then sees a sad look on Dash's face and sees that her son seems sad so he quickly said "So where did Soarin get that apron?"

All of a sudden, Dash's face lit up and she says "Well, I got that for him for his birthday a couple years ago and he always wears it when he cooks."

After a while, Soarin comes down the steps and says "Well Featherwight, she is willing to see you in her room."

Then Featherwight gets up and walks up the stairs and after he is goin Dash says "So how is Scootaloo?"

Soarin then turned to her with a worried look and says "Well, she seemed pretty down right now and I hope Featherwight can help her."

(**)

Featherwieght went upstairs and sees that there is a few doors.  One of the doors is open which he can tell is the baby foals room by all the toys on the floor and a crib.  Another door seems to be the masters bedroom and all it has is a bed and some cabinets.  When he finds what he assumes is Scootaloo's room.  When he knocks, a voice behind it says "Come in."

Featherwight then opens the room and sees what kind of room is like.  There is a few posters of the Wonderbolts, mostly of Rainbow Dash and Soarin, there is even a few cabinets and a scooter with a helmet.  He then sees Scootaloo laying on a small bed that has a wonderbolt blanket on it.

"What do you need Feather?" said Scootaloo with a stern look

"Well, I just thought you want to help me with this project that we were supposed to be working on."

Scootaloo sighs then sits up on the bed and says with a hint of anger "Why, its just a doll nothing would matter."

"But don't you want to pass school?" said Featherwieght with some concern in his voice

"Whatever, so what if I don't pass what's the worst that could happen?"

At first Featherwieght didn't have an answer until he sees what appears to be a signed photo of Spitfire alongside Dash and Soarin along with her.  He then dicided to take a chance by saying "I'm sure Dash and Soarin would hope that you pass."

Somehow, this made Scootaloo get a confused look and says "How so?"

"Well, don't you want to be a Wonderbolt or something like that?"

Scootaloo puts a hoof to her chin then says "Maybe."

Featherwight then smiles and says "Great, so how about it?"

But then Scootaloo gets an angry look and says with a bit of sterness "But that still doesn't explain why you seem to care for me."

Featherweight then gets a worried look and thinks "Ponyfeathers, what should I tell her?" While he is thinking, Scootaloo is tapping her hoof on the bed and getting a even sterner look.  Afte a while she says "Know what, if you can't answer that then you should probably leave and take that doll with you."

She was about to lay back down when Featherwight shouted "Because I like you!"

Scootaloo then gets up to look at him and she sees that he has his hooves to his lips.  She then gets a surprise look and says "Wait, you like me?"

"Well, no turning back now." thought Featherwieght "Yes, I do like you, I liked you for some time now and well, I was also hoping that this project would help me get to know you better."

Both of them then sat there for what seems like hours.  Until Scootaloo says while rubbing the back of her head "Wow, just wow."

Featherwight then gets a sad look on his face.  So he then decided to say "Yes Scoots, I like you because you are wonderful, charming, cute and you have amazing flying skills, but I'll understand if you don't feel the same way about me."

He was about to leave until Scootaloo said "Wait!"

Featherwieght then turned around with a bit of hope in his eyes.  When he did Scooatloo says "Well, first off no other stallion or colt ever said those things about me and well, maybe I could grow to like you too."

Featherwieth then smiled and says "Thanks Scoots, hope I prove worthy of your love."

Scootaloo then smiled and says "Will see."

After that, Scootaloo looks at the doll and says "So, what is our childs name?"

Featherwieght then picked up the doll and says "His name is Jade."

After he hoofed it over to her, somehow the doll reated to her and cuddled up to her which made Scootaloo think it was kindof cute.

(**)

Meanwhile, downstairs Saorin and Dash heard all that and both of them listened to hear if anything else happened.  When they heard nothing more Soarin says "Well, seems like Scootaloo has a coltfriend."

Dash laughs and syas "Lucky for him."

Chapter 7: Projects and New Crush

Chapter 7: Projects and New Crush

It is now the end of teh month and the leaves are turning into different colrs of red, orange and yellow.  Some of teh students are on there way to school along the pathway that has rows upon rows of tress.  Even the school seems to to a bit full of life.

Applebloom is walking alongside Pipsqueak with there doll, to which they have to turn it in that day.  If there were any other ponies along the pathway, they would see that both Applebloom and Pip are walking shoulder to shoulder.  Applebloom is the one carrying the doll while Pip is doing his best to keep up to her.

As soon as they are in front of the school, Pip says "So, I guess we have to turn in our projects today."

Applebloom justs nods and went inside with Pipsqueak following close behind.

(**)

After they arrived in class, they noticed a few things that are different.  Like Scootaloo is close to Featherwight and what appears to be old news is that Dinky and Rumble are even more closer then they are before.  After they sat down, the teacher then came in and says "Good morning ponies, I hope all of you had a good time this last month."

After they did the roll call, Pokey says "Alright then, I'll be coming along to chek up on your oprojects and to see how you all did."

First he went to Dinky and Rumble, to which he picked up the doll with his magic and says "Well, well, seems as if you two did a fine job and you even gave it some attention which is good." to which Dinky then hugged Ruble and he hugged her hoof.

He then went off to another group and another until he came to Applebloom and Pipsqueak to which he says "This is interesting, both you and Pip divided the time you get to spend with this child."

"Well sir," said Pip "We were at her house and I had to volunteer to help around."

Pokey then nodded and went to Spike and Sweetie Belle to which he said the same thing about them as he said to Applebloom and Pip.  And Spike said the same thing as Pip.

When he came to Scootaloo and Featherwieght, he notices soemthing and when he saw something he says "Well now, seems to me that Scootaloo didn't help much."

Featherwieght gets a worried look and looks over to Scootaloo which he sees that she is a bit worried to.  But before he could say anything, Pokey says "Anyways, you all seem to have pass with a few minor details here and there."

The pony students then started talking and Pokey says "Alright settle down, settle down."  After the noise went down, he then waited for a few minutes.  He then says "Alright then, I guess the rest of the class can be used for study hall."

So then they all pulled out any books from other classes and Pokey went to his desk to grade there projects.  Then Applebloom says to Pipsqueak "So Pip, What are you doing later today?"

Pip then says "Well, all I'm doing is nothing really, why?"

Applebloom at first says nothing but then says "Well I was wondering if you want to hang out later this evening."

Pip then gets a surprise look but he recovered and said "Sure, I won't mind haning out with you."

On the other side of the class, Spike gets up from his desk and walked up to Pokey and says "Excuse me, I was wondering if I could go to the library for a book to read?"

Pokey then looked up and says "Sure thing Spike."

After Spike thanked hem, he then went out to his left down the hallway until he comes to an intersection and went right.  He then walked until he came to some glass windows with a sign above it that says Library.  After he went inside, the head of the library nodded her head to Spike and he went down an aisle and was looking around.

After a few minutes he heard somepony that says "Excuse me, Spike."

Spike then turned around and sees Sweetie Belle.  At first he was surprised but he then says "Yes Sweetie?"

At first she says nothing and rubs a hoof on one leg and then says "Well, I just want to thank you for the help that you gave me on the project that we done."

"Your welcome." said Spike but he could tell there was something else on her mind.  But she seems to be unable to say it so he decided to see waht it is "Is there anything else?"

At first, Sweetie seemed nervous but then she says "I was wondering if you still had feelings for my sister."

Spike was surprise at this.  But then he says "Nope, I have no feelings for her anymore and we are friends now."

He then sees that she smiled and says "That's a relief, because I sortof have a crush on you."

"What do you-" before he could say anything, Sweetie Belle leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.  At first Spike was stunned but then he closed his eyes and wraped his arms around her and pulled her in closer.

Unkown to both of them, a pair of eyes was watching them from around a bookshelf.

Chapter 8: Dance Preperations and Complications

Chapter 8: Dance Preperations

It is now the end of the fall season and snow is falling gently out of the sky.  Alot of the ponies are glad that the pegasi are doing another start to the winter weather.  The snow had created a scene of joy for the young fillies when they ran out, some not even dressed up for warmth.  Some ponies even shoveled the path to the school and even prepaed it for any ponies that are heading there.

What is also got some of the students that go there is that the Hearth's Warming Dance was announced and many ponies are already preparing for it.  Some even already paired up and all they need is a dress for the mares and a suit for the stallions.

As for the former CMC, Applebloom is a bit nervous but has nothing to worry about even if Pip had already asked her and she said yes.

"Oh my gosh!  What am I going to wear at the dance?  This is so tiresome."

Sweetie Belle, whom is walking beside her to school giggled and replied "Calm down Applebloom, I can help you pick out a dress if you want."

"Thanks Sweetie."

Both of them then continued walking until Applebloom says "Have you seen Scootaloo recently?"

Sweetie Belle thought for a moment until she said "Nope, I think she is spending a bit of her free time with Featherwight more and more."

"I have to agree with you." said a voice behind them which caused them to turn around.  And there they see is Dinky, whom they became good freinds with aobut a month ago.

"Thanks Dinky," said Sweetie "So did Rumble ask you?"

Dinky then smiled and said with a bit of happiness in her voice "Indeed he did, and you should seen his face aobut what I gave him as a reward for asking me."

"Let me guess, you kissed him" said Applebloom

Dinky then laughed and says "Of course."

"Really, I though he would be used to all the kisses you give him."

All three of them laugh at that comment and continued walking towards the school.  As soon as they get there, Sweetie Belle noticed some hoofprints that leads around a corner.  She then followed then and looked around them, and what she sees surprises her.  She sees Scootaloo with her hooves around Featherwieght's neck and she seems to be kissing him and Featherwieght has a hoof around and in her mane.  Sweetie Belle then blushed and turned around quickly and catches up to Applebloom and Dinky.

After some time, they arrived at there first period class and after about a minute, they see Scootaloo and Featherwieght walk in.  Scootaloo then sat down and Applebloom came up to her and says "So Scoots, did Feather ask you to the dance?"

Scootaloo then looked at her and says "Of course he did, and I said yes if you want to know."

Before Applebloom coulc say anything, the bell rang and the teacher then walked in.  After he got set up he then says "Alright class, I know that all of you are excited about the dance near the end of the month."

He sees all of the students nodding there heads and he then says "Alright then, hope you all behave this month because if you don't, you may find yourself not going."

At first no one said anything.  But then he laughs and the class bursts out laughing.

(**)

Later that day, Sweetie Belle is sitting at a table at lunch playing with her food.  She is playing in her mashed potatoes until she hears "Hey Sweets, why so glum?"

She then looks up and sees Dinky standing there.  She then looked back down and says "Nothing."

Dinky then gets a worried look and says "This is about Spike, he didn't ask you out yet."

Sweetie Belle then says "I don't know what is taking him so long, we are like together but yet he doesn't want to ask me?  He even had a chance to ask me in class but he didn't."

"Maybe he is worried you would say no."

"Why would he be worried about that, he has nothing to fear because I would say yes."

Dinky then looked around until she sees Spike and says to Sweetie "There he is, why don't you ask him."

Sweetie Belle then looked towards him and thinks for a minute "Dinky is right, if he won't come to me, I'll go to him."

She then gets up and walks towards him.  She was halfway there until she sees him gets up and walks out the enterance.  "This is odd, where is he going."

She then followed him out the enterance a good distance behind him.  They continued until he turns around a corner.  She was about to walk around until she hears "All right Diamond, what do you want?"

"Diamond, what does she want with him?" thought Sweetie

She then stoped at the corner but is hidden well and she can hear anything that they say.

"Come on Spike, why are you wasting your time with that young filly when you can be with a more sophisticated mare like me."

"Look Diamond, I told you before, I like Sweetie more then you." said Spike with a bit of anger in his voice

"Before, how long ago was that?" thought Sweetie with a worried look

"Oh Spike, what can she offer you?  You know I have money and I can get you anything you want." said Diamond with a bit of seductiveness in her voice

"She can give me her love which you don't have."

"But Spike, I do love you, you see, I have a crush on you for some time."

Now Sweetie is getting nervous, "Please Spike, don't do anything stupid."

"Look Diamond, I have no feelings for you and I never will."

"Come on Spike, please let me show you my feelings."

Sweetie Belle then decided to get in there and stop Diamond from doing this to her Spike.  So then she turned around the corner.  But what she sees horrifies her,  Diamond is kissing Spike and what disgusts her more is that Spike is allowing her to kiss him.

"Spike!"

Spike and Diamond turned to the voice and sees Sweetie Belle standing there with a look of shock on her face and tears coming out of her eyes.

"Sweetie Belle, what are you doing here?"

Sweetie Belle unfortunaly can't find the words to say, so she decides to do the one thing on her mind; run.

"Sweetie Belle, wait!" said Spike chasing after Sweetie

Diamond then smiles and says silently "I knew Sweetie will find out, all according to plan."

(**)

Spike is running after Sweetie Belle for some time.  Until they come outside and he sees her stop.  When he gets closer though, she turns around and yells "How could you!  Why did you allow her to do that to you, I thought we had something."

"Sweetie Belle, let me explain."

"Explain what?  That you've been seeing her for who knows how long and that you also have feelings for her too."

Spike could tell that Sweetie is very angry, he then says "Look Sweetie, I have no feelings for her."

Sweetie Belle then glared at him and says "If you don't, then why see her, you had a choice to not go to her."

Spike then tries to quickly think of something.  But Sweetie then says "That's what I thought."

She then walks back to the enterance.  Spike then tries to grab her, but then feels a hoof to his cheeck which causes him to fall on his rear and rubbing it with a look of shock on his face.  He then realizes that it was Sweetie Belle that had slapped him. He then watches her walk on back in and he then looks down to the ground and thinks "What have I done?"

Chapter 9: Spike's bad day and an Idea

Chapter 9: Spike's bad day

It has been a few days since that time.  And Spike finds himself walking into school with many of the student ponies glaring at him.  Word had spread fast about what happened and many ponies are already spreading rumors that Spike has heard like, "Spike sure does love playing with mares hearts."

"I wonder who's heart he will break next?"

"First it was Rarity, now Sweetie Belle, who's next?"

"Who knew he would be a cheater."

Spike tried his best of ignoring them, but each and everyday they get worse and worse.  Even his friends are abvoiding him.  One day at lunch, he went up to Rumble and says "Hi there Rumble, Whats up?"

Rumble then turned suddenly and said with a bit of venom in hid voice "What's up, what's up?  You have the gull to come up to me after you broke Sweetie's heart and say what's up.  What is wrong with you?"

"Look, I wish that never happened." said Spike

"Then why?  You had a choice but you chose Diamond.  Do you even remember what she did to Sweetie and her freinds when they were younger?"

Spike does remember, he remembers all those times that Diamond would tease them about them having no cutie marks and make fun of them.  He even remembers some of those times that he defended them from her.

"How does that have to do with anything now?"

Rumble then facehoofed and says "Spike, you are and idiot."

Spike then got a confused look says "What do you mean?"

Rumble facehoofed again "She had a crush on you since the last time you defended them from her, that's why."

Spike was shocked when he heard this.  Sweetie Belle had a crush on him for about a year "Well, she did tell me she had a crush on me for some time now."

Rumble then smiled and says "So then friend, what are you going to do?"

Spike thought for a minute until he finally says "I'll go to Sweetie Belle and say I'm sorry a thousand times over."

"That may be easier said then done.  Her friends are with her and I think I heard them say that if you go anywhere near them, they will pummel you."

"Thanks for that." replied Spike with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Spike then turned around and walked off towards the library.  When he sees Diamond down the hallway, he quickly ran into the restroom and hid there until Diamond walked on by.  As soon as she walked on by, Spike then walked ot of then restroom and as soon as he did, he sees a poster the read:

Winter Dance

Time: 8-10

Date: End of the Month

Bring along your special somepony or friends for

FUN! MUSIC! and DANCING!

Special DJ Guest Star

When Spike saw this, he then smiled and got an idea.

(**)

Sweetie Belle was walking along to her locker after another day of school has ended.  Applebloom is walking alongside her saying "Come on Sweetie, there are other colts out there."

"I know, but I can't stop thinking about him."

Applebloom then puts a hoof to her chin until she sees the poster and says "Know what, Spike might go to the dance."

Sweetie then looked at Applebloom and says with a bit of disgust "Why would he go there?  He may bring that Diamond with him"

"How can you be so sure?"

Sweetie then opened and after she got her saddlebag, she slamed the locer and said with a hint of anger "Because he likes her more then me."

Applebloom then thinks somemore until she says "How about we go to your sister's place and get some dresses for the dance and we should bring Scootaloo along."

At first, Sweetie says anything until she smiled and says "That would be funny, to see Scoots in an dress."

"See me in what?"

Both of them then turned around and standing there is Scootaloo with her saddlebag.  Both of them then smiled and Applebloom says "Well, we were planning on going to the dance and head on towards Rarity's place to get dresses."

Scootaloo then gave them a confused look until she says "You do realize that they didn't say anything about this going to be a fancy dance right?  I mean, a DJ at a fancy dance that would be wierd."

All three of them then stand there until Sweetie started to giggled and then all three of them then started to laugh.

"I mean, come on why would we need a dress if we are going to dance like crazy there?" said Scootaloo

"You do have a point there Scoots." replied Applebloom

"We could still dress up for it." said Sweetie

Scootaloo sighs and says "Fine, but tell your sister not to make it fru fru or to fancy, I want to at least move around a bit."

"You mean alot right?" said Applebloom

They all luagh but Scootaloo who is following them behind the other two.

(**)

To Scootaloo dismay, Rarity is so busy that she accidently put on a fancy dress on her.  "Oh so sorry Scootaloo, I'm so busy that I forget what dresses I'm making."

"How so sis?" said Sweetie Belle while standing on a stand.

"Well this dance is so big that many young mares and colts are asking for a new dress and it's getting harder every time."

"That busy right." said Applebloom

"You have no idea." replied Rarity

Scootaloo groaned and hung her head low while Applebloom is thinking how many other young mares are asking for dresses.  While at the same time Sweetie Belle is thinking "What if Spike doesn't go there."

If he doesn't, then he isn't for you.

"If he does shoe up though, what am I supposed to do?"

"What was that Sweetie?" said Rarity

"Well," Great, she heard me." "it's just that, I was thinking of Spike and if he is going to the dance."

When she looks at Rarity, she sees that she is in though and then she says "Rarity, are you ok?"

Rarity then came out of her thought and replied "Of course, I just thought of an idea."

"What is it?" said Applebloom

"Why that you should wear some rubies with that dress."

Scootaloo then groaned again and says "Great, we are going to be here for who knows how long now."

While she was getting some rubies, Rarity was in deep thought again. "There is a way for Spike to be there, all I need to do is talk to Twilight."

Chapter 10: Dance

Chapter 10: Dance

It is now the day of the dance.  Many young mares and stallions could be seen walking in pairs or groups down the pathway towards the school.  Even the weather pegasi made the evening a nice one.  Many young mares are wearing a simple dress, while others are weraing little.  As for the stallions, they are wearing a simple suit.

As for Spike, he is standing in the middle of the library with a worried look on his face.  Even a little talk from Twilight didn't help him.

"Come on Spike, you need to look your best for tonight."

"Come on Twilight, it's just a dance."

Twilight, unfortunaly wasn't listening to him as she was tying a bow around his neck with her magic.  All Spike could do is sigh and stand there.

After about an hour, Spike looks at the clock and realized that it is getting close to the time.

"Hey Twilight, it's close for the dance to start."

Twilight suddenly looked at the clock and a twitch in her eye developes on her and she started to panic "Oh no, Spike you better get going."

"Twilight, what are you doing?"

But then Spike was pushed out of the door with Twilight saying "Have fun."  The door then closed and Spike says

"Thanks Twilight." He then scratches his head and shrugs his shoulders and walked off towards the school.  While at the same time, he is thinking "Well, at least I'm out of there or Twilight would've messed with my bow tie even if is is already fine but she has to go on and make it perfect."

(**)

Some time later, Spike arrived at the school and he could tell that the place is filling up fast and alot of ponies are coming.  He tried to find a certain pony.  But he seems to not be able to find her so he decided to go on right in.  Unknown to him, a certain young earth pony mare sees him and smiles an evil smile.

A few minutes later, a young mare is walking along with her colt.  "So Applebloom," said the colt "what kind of music do you think is playing at this dance?"

Applebloom then thinks for a minute and says "I don't know Pip.  But I heard that one famous musicians son is playing."

Pip then nodded and says "Yes, I think his name was Hard Chord, isn't he some DJ?"

"Yes, I think he followed his mothers hooves."

When they arrived, they see a large carriage that has the the words DJ-4SCORE on it.  Along side it is a navy blue unicorn stallion with with a dark blue with white streaks in it mane and tail and a record as a cutie mark.  Along with it is that he is wearing red shades that cover his eyes.  There is even some ponies that seem to be security guards taht seem to be keeping some mares away from him.  Some are evening shouting "Look girls, it's DJ-4SCORE!"

"Hey DJ, please sign my forehead!"

"Marry me!"

But to there sadness, a white earth pony mare with a black mane and tali and a music note as a cutie mark.  She then walks up to the stallion and he smiles and he hugs her and kissed her on the lips.  And some of the other mares screamed "NOOOOO!" After all of that, Pip then says "Who is that?"

Applebloom then sees that and says "I think that is Octavia's duaghter and Vinyl's son."

Pip then gets a surprise look and says "How in the name of Celestia do you know that?"

"Well, Pinkie is good friends with Vinyl, and some time once a month Vinly comes to Ponyville and talks to Pinkie and one of those months when she came here, she brought her son and he brought her along also."

Pip is surprised at all this and all he could do is nod.

(**)

Scootaloo is walking alongside Featherwight towards the dance in silence.  The evening for them started with Featherwieght went to pick up Scootaloo.  And when he did, Scootaloo is wearing a red dress that has two holes in the back the allowed her wings to come out and the dress goes all the way back up to her tail and covers her cutie mark.  And all Feather is wearing is a simple suit.

When they see the school, they see Swettie Belle standing nearby looking towards the school in a simple white dress.  "Hey Sweetie, what are you doing out here?" said Scootaloo

Sweetie Belle then turned her head towards them and says "Nothing, just worried about what may happen at the dance."

Scootaloo then walked up to her and says "Don't worry Sweetie, if Spike ever does anything to hurt you, I'll be there."

Sweetie Belle then smiles and says "Thanks Scoots, I'm glad you're my friend."

"Hey, that's what friends are for." said Featherwieght

All three of them then laugh and walked off towards the school, followed by a happy Dinky and a bashful Rumble.

Chapter 11: Meetings and Dancing

It has been about ten minutes and the dance is already in full swing.  Everypony is dancing to the music or just standing off to the sides talking.  Applebloom and Pip were tired out from all of that dancing and both decided that they have enough, so both of them went off to the side then Pip saids "Hey Bloom, I'll go get us some drinks."

"Alright." replied Applebloom

Pipsqueak then walked off towards the table thatt looks like one giant buffet is there.  He then went to one end of the table which has a giant fountain that has some Sweet Apple Acres Cider.  He then gets a plate first, since he knows that he will be carrying two cups and filled both of them.  Afterwards, he then turned around and he then sees that the dance floor is getting a little crowded.

He then navigated his way while trying not to spill the drinks he has that he is carrying in his mouth.  As soon as he made it back to Applebloom, she was clapping her hooves and says "Amazing Pip, you didn't spill a drop."

Pipsqueak was about to put it down when some other pony bumped him which caused one of the cups to fly off of the plate and was about to land on Applebloom, to which she closed her eyes and put up a hoof, but it didn't came and when she opened her eyes, the cider and the cup were suspended in midair and a familiar voice says "Can't leave you two alone without any of you causing trouble."

Pip and Applebloom turned towards the voice and see standing there is Sweetie Belle.

"Sweetie Belle!" said Applebloom "Glad you could make it."

After Sweetie put the cider into the cup and placed it on the plate, she replied "Yea, I decided to come even if it mean that I've no date here."

"Hey Applebloom," said Pip "have you seen Feather and Scoots?"

"Last I saw them, they were getting a little lovey-dovey so I just left them alone and came looking for you two."

All three of them laugh at the thought of Featherwieght and Scootaloo kissing that Applebloom says "So then Sweetie, how has it been since you know?"

Sweetie then gets a sad look on her face, "I don't know, I want to forget him but I just can't."

"do you still have feelings for him?"

"I don't know, my feelings are all messed up right now and I can't think straight soemtimes."

Applebloom and Pip both felt sorry for Sweetie Belle, until Applebloom sees Scootaloo and Featherwieght coming towards them.  As soon as they came up to them, Scootaloo says "Hey there, how's it hanging?"

"Not much, how about you?" replied Pip

After they talked for what appears to be ten minutes, all of a sudden a noise was heard outside that Sweetie Belle is hearing.  She then left the group with none of them noticing and she went off towards the exit.  She then opened the door and at first she could see nothing.  But then she hears a voice that she regonizes as Spike.  She then went off towards the noise and what she hears surprises her.

Ten Minute Flashback

Spike finds himself on one side of the dance floor holding a cup of cider and also leaning backwards against the wall, and unknown to him, the mare he is looking for is on the other side of the dance floor.  He is sipping the drink when he sees the one pony that he never wants to see ever again: Diamond Tiara.

He then puts down the drink and he goes off towards the exit hoping to lose Diamond.  But as soon as he made it out, he looks back in and almost touched his nose right up to Diamond's nose.  There was silence between the two for a minute until Diamond broke it "So Spikey, why are you avoiding me?"

A bit of anger is starting to swell inside of Spike, but he controls it and replies "Look DT, I never wanted to be with you and whatever happened between us was a mistake."

"Come on Spike, I know that you still like me deep down inside of you."

When she said that, she walked up to Spike which caused him to back up into the wall behind him.  She then puts a hoof onto his chest and gives him a seductive smile and was about to kiss him.

At the same time, Spike's mind is racing like a rampagin buffalo "Oh no, not again."  Spike then did the first thing that came to his mind: He puts up both of his arms and pushes Diamond back and shouts "No!"

Diamond then stops and looks at him confused "What do you mean no?"

"No as in I'll never like you, you are just some spoiled rich mare that thinks she can have anything that she wants.  Also you are better off going after the Canterlot snobs, I'm sure that they would welcome you there.  And I already have a mare that I love more then anything"

Diamond then backs up with an angry look and scowls "Why you, who is this mare that you like?  She can't be better then me."

"Actually she is, she is wonderful, kind, caring, her eyes are like an endless ocean that I could swim in, her voice when she sings is like the morning birds that sing in the morning.  And she is better then you."

Now the anger in Diamond's eyes are showing "How could he, who is this mare that he likes so much more then me?  No, it can't be!"

"And her name is Sweetie Belle, and yes even if we had a small breakup, I still have feelings for her."

Diamond then backed off and realized her thoughts were true.  She then says bitterly "Well then, I hope you never get back together with her."

She then ran off with some tears in her eyes.

Spike then smiles and is happy and when he turns around, he comes face to face with Sweetie Belle.

Both of them stand there in silence with Spike's mouth open and Sweetie is smiling and seems to have some tears in her eyes "Do...do you still feel like that for me?"

Spike then shut his jaw and replied "Why...why yes I...I do love you still."

Sweetie Belle then ran up to him and wraped her hooves around his neck and he wraped his arms around her and both of them then cried tears of joy.

(**)

"Alright ponies," shouted the DJ "Time for some slow songs, so everypony pair up and let's dance the night away."

He then pulled out a record and a slow song starts to play.  Scootaloo then grabs Featherwieght and both of them held each other in each others hooves and wings.  Applebloom and Pipsqueak both went onto the dance floor and simply put there heads on each other shoulders and swayed slowly from side to side.  But what surprises all of them is that Spike and Sweetie Belle come on in and they realized that they made up and are back together again.  Even Rumble and Dinky are out on the dance floor dancing together.
