Together for Eternity

That night, a pony overheard Rarity talking to Spike. The pony ran towards the mayor’s house.

Knock Knock

"Who's knocking at my door at this hour?" Mayor Mare said still half asleep.

“Sorry for waking you up so late mayor Mare, but I heard through an open window Spike talking about sleeping with Rarity tonight.”

“WHAT! Citizen gather up the other ponies by morning. Bring weapons. We will meet at Rarity’s house then. We will chase him out of town.”

“Yes mayor Mare.”

I can’t believe that dragon is sleeping with a pony. Dragons don’t belong with ponies. They turn into beasts and destroy villages. The ponies know it. Now that he’s been sleeping with one of our citizens. He needs to leave NOW. Before it’s too late and he destroys the town.

Rarity woke up to the sound of knocking on the door. She put on her gown and walked to the front door. Spike woke up as Rarity was walking down the stairs. Rarity opens the door. All of Ponyville is there.

“What are you all doing here? The Boutique is closed.”

“We know Spike was in bed with you last night. Step aside and let us search your house.”

“I will not. You’ll need a warrant if you want to search my house.”

“The mayor is right here, she gave us permission. Now step aside.”

Rarity steps aside with a worried look on her face. They better not touch Spike! The villagers start rushing in the house. Spike had just finished walking down the stairs when he noticed the ponies. They had their weapons at the ready.

“DON’T YOU LAY A FINGER ON SPIKE!” Rarity yelled at the top of her lungs.

“Stay out of this lady.”

They started walking towards Spike. Spike slowly made his way towards the door. As soon as he'd felt the doorknob he opened the door quickly. Fear and anger were taking over him as he ran as fast as possible towards the Everfree forest. When Spike was no longer visible at the forest entrance the villagers returned back to their homes.

Song

Rarity was standing in her Boutique, frozen with worry and anger from the event that had just occurred.

I need to tell Twilight, immediately! Rarity thought, as she sprinted towards the library.

Rarity arrived at the library and slammed the door open.

“Twilight we need to talk. NOW!”

“What is it Rarity? Where’s Spike?”

“The villagers came to my house this morning along with the mayor and chased Spike out of town. He ran towards the Everfree forest.”

“WHAT!?”

“I’m sorry Twilight.” Rarity said unable to hold any tears back.

“It’s not your fault Rarity. Gather the others and bring them back here.”

“Alright, I’ll return as fast as possible."

Rarity came back along with four other ponies. Twilight tried not to cry but failed, as she started speaking.

“Everypony, Spike has been chased out of town to the Everfree forest by the villagers…”

Twilight couldn’t speak any longer, she started to cry harder. The others joined in.

“I would take on all of Ponyville after what they did to Spike!” Anger in Rainbow Dash’s voice.

“Why would they do that to Spike? Spike is funnest dragon I ever met!” Pinkie said, her mane was deflating.

“I’ma ashamed to live near such ponies who can’t see who Spike truly is. Sweet as peach. Tough like an apple.”  Applejack said disappointment in her voice.

"We should go looking for Spike in the Everfree forest he needs our help." Rainbow Dash said.

"We can't, he's too far deep into the forest for us to go looking for him. Spike can defend himself against the creatures in the forest, but we wouldn't stand a chance. Even the ponies didn't go in after him earlier. They knew it was too dangerous." Twilight explained.

How dare they chase me out of town! How dare they banish me because I was with Rarity. We had just shared our feelings towards each other and those f****ng ponies had to ruin everything.

After Spike walked for a while through the forest, he decided to settle down in an empty cave he found. He didn’t want any creatures to enter his cave, so he put moss on the walls to make it look like it wasn’t occupied. He would go hunting for gems during the day. He used the technique Rarity had taught him during their last gem hunt. At night he would eat said gems and when he went to sleep he would dream about Rarity. How beautiful she was and the morning when they chased him out of town. Haunting him every night. Sometimes though he would dream about Rarity and him living together forever. How they would live their lives. How they would get married. How they would be together for eternity in the afterlife once they both passed away.

As the days went by Spike’s anger towards the ponies that chased him out of town only worsened. The though of the ponies hating him after all he did for them and thinking about how they took away Rarity and all his other friends only worsened it. He had to have his revenge, even if he had to kill a few ponies in the process.

I will wait a year before returning to Ponyville. I want the ponies to think that I have left for good. That way they won’t suspect my return. I hope my friends don’t think I’ve left forever. I will return, that’s a promise. I will come back to my friends. And to my beautiful Rarity. I could never leave her forever. One year my love. I will see you then. No matter what it takes.

One year had passed by since Spike was chased out of Ponyville. The mane six still missed him. They still had hope that Spike would return someday. Twilight still worked at the library. Fluttershy would help her when she could since Spike wasn’t there to help. Her friends would visit her whenever they could. Rarity still worked at the Carousel Boutique making dresses. It was very hard for Rarity, she had just revealed her feelings towards Spike and had the greatest night with him, only for him to be taken away. She had never forgiven the ponies. Every day, Rarity thought about how her life would have been like if Spike had never left. Her feelings for him only intensified every moment. She knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. She was hoping everyday that she would hear that Spike returned and that everything would be alright for the two of them. Applejack still worked at the farm. She would go to the library and comfort Twilight everyday, assuring her Spike would return. She didn’t go to town to sell the apples anymore, Big Mac would go to town instead. Rainbow Dash continued working for the weather team (and tried at every opportunity to join the Wonderbolts). She would give a dirty look to the ponies as she flew over them. She would fly to the entrance of the Everfree forest every night looking for Spike. Pinkie Pie still worked at Sugar Cube corner. Although she never was as happy as her usual Pinkie self ever since Spike left because she felt as though she lost her play buddy. She hadn't come out with any new cupcake flavors since Spike left. Her and Spike used to play together, whether it be pulling a prank on Twilight or hiding some of her books. Fluttershy continued to tend to her animals. She would always look outside her window towards the Everfree forest hoping to see Spike come towards town.

As Fluttershy was looking outside her window that morning she saw a figure come out of the forest. Hoping it was Spike she continued to look.
