Why Does Everypony Hate Me

How far would you go to save someone you loved? Would you jump off a cliff and grab her by the hoof or hug her and flip yourself so that she is above you and your body takes the damage? Would you save her from a mad pony who kills for no reason? Would you save her if a building was burning to the ground? How far would you go to save the one you loved?!

A  black storm cloud had appeared over Ponyville. It had began to rain hard, pouring down and covering the streets of Ponyville. I am on my way to the Carousel Boutique to get Rarity to the Golden Oaks Library. Twilight told me to do this task because Rainbow or Fluttershy wouldn't be able to fly, Applejack had to comfort her little sister Apple Bloom, Big Mac, and Granny Smith. Pinkie was to busy making sweets and setting up a party because she was being herself and trying to cheer everypony up. Twilight stood behind trying her best to calm and comfort everypony.

Rarity hold on. I will be there in a few minutes. The reason Twilight gave me this task is not because I was in love with Rarity and wanted to confess my love to her, but because Twilight said 'she was acting weird today.' While I was helping Lyra and Bon-Bon.

I made it to the door of Carousel Boutique, I was panting because I had been running. I then compose myself as I knocked on the door. No response from the angelic voice I know and love, so I knocked again. No response again but then I heard something inside.

Crash!

I panicked and I broke down the door. As I entered the Carousel Boutique I noticed something was off, the whole store was completely dark. All I could see was blackness and nothing else. I started to walk around the black out store, until I bumped into something. I quickly began looking for a light switch, until I heard a loud noise echo through out the store.

Thump!

I felt something on a wall, I turned it up and the whole store lit up with light from ceiling lamp. I looked around the store, and found a piece of paper set neatly on the dining table, where Rarity and I had lunch while I was being her assistant for the day. I quickly ran to the table and picked up the paper and saw what was written on it.

Dear Spikey-Wikey,

I'm sorry that I didn't say good-bye to you. I hope Twilight did though. Anyway, I wanted to thank-you for helping me before it had come to this. We both have been on many crazy adventures together, and we had a lot of fun. I hope you have a good life ahead of you and wish you the best of luck. There is something I wanted to tell you, but by the time you finish this letter I already will be gone from this world. What I wanted to tell you is that I love you Spike.

Farewell,

xoxoxo

Rarity

P.S, Don't come into my bedroom.

Rarity. I thought to myself as I crumpled the note, and I ran up the stairs. As I was running up the stairs, I noticed little red droplets leading me to Rarity's room. As soon as I made it to the top of the stairs, I kept following the red droplets. The droplets ended at Rarity's bedroom door, I took a deep breath in and knocked gently on the door. The door creaked open slightly, I began to worry so I entered the room, and to my surprise and shock I saw Rarity on her bedroom floor, using her magic to levitate a knife. The knife was angled to her chest, as she had her eyes closed.

I screamed, "Rarity!" She opened one of her eyes and saw me.

She said, "Spikey-Wikey, I'm sorry. I love you." The knife was getting closer to her chest as she closed her eye one more time.

"NO!" I screamed, as I ran to her.

But I was too late to stop her from doing the deed,  she plunged the knife into her chest. Blood started to spill out of her chest slowly as I dropped to my knees. I looked at the beauty who is now dead, and I haven't confessed my feelings for her. I began to cry, tears coming out of my eyes as I picked up the dead Rarity.

It began to rain hard outside the boutique, as I held Rarity' corpse in my claws, close to me. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I looked down at the corpse of my love.

A few days later

It was raining hard out here in the open field. I looked down at the ground, my mind drifting to another place as I didn't hear anypony. Right in front of them, in a closed white casket, lay the Element of Generosity, Rarity.  Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Big Mac, and Rainbow Dash were all there at Rarity's funeral. As the casket was being lowered into the ground.

Everypony began to cry at the lost of their friend. They have no idea how hard it was for me. She died right in front of my eyes, and I held her dead corpse. So that's why I can't cry anymore. I thought to myself, as I looked up at the storming clouds above, the rain pouring down on my face.

As the casket was finally down in the ground, everypony left except me. I stood there looking at the freshly dug up ground, then two stallions placed a tombstone at the place. As it was placed, the two stallions left, I on the other hand didn't budge. I read the words on the tombs:

Rarity Belle

The Element of Generosity

A loving sister, and friend to all those around her.

I laughed coldly at the tombstone cause all of it was true. I was nothing more to Rarity than a friend, so why should I care about her or other ponies for what they say.

"I don't care anymore since you're gone Rarity. I've always loved you since we first met but that has changed. I will never be happy anymore. This is probably the last time everypony is going to see me.  I'm going to kill myself. I'm sorry Rarity." I said, to nopony in particular, but at the tombstone.

I walked away from the grave site and walked back towards the town. I immediately went to the Golden Oaks Library where Twilight and I live. "Spike you're home. How are you feeling?" Twilight, my purple unicorn friend asked me, as I walked past her and into the kitchen.

"I feel fine. Better actually. I'm just looking for something." I replied back to her from the kitchen.

"What are you looking for?"

"Well I'm not sure. Something to drink would be nice."

Would you like tea?"

"Yes please."

"Okay let me go get it from upstairs."

I heard hoof steps ascend up on the second floor. i can't believe she fell for the lie I just told her. I'm sorry Twilight but I won't be around anymore. I thought to myself as I pulled out a sharp knife from the drawer, and I ran out the front door, slamming close behind me.

I ran through town, and I arrived at my destination, the Carousel Boutique. It was raining harder than usual, I looked up at the stormy sky and I smiled, at the sky then I dropped my head and looked at the shop again, the one pony who I loved died in my arms in there so I'm going to do the same. Soon Rarity, soon. I thought to myself as I walked towards the front door of the shop.

I knocked on the door and a sad voice from inside replied, "Coming." As the door opened, I saw the figure standing in the door way. It was Sweetie Belle and she was crying. I already knew why, so I said, "Hi Sweetie Belle."

She looked up at me and greeted back, "Hi Spike."

I looked at her, her eyes were swollen and bloodshot from crying hard at the loss of her sister. I felt pain inside my chest, seeing her like this so I asked, "Can I come in?"

"Yes." She replied to me, and gestured for me to come in.

I walked into the store and looked around, everything was exactly the same. Everything was in the same place when I came in here not too long ago, but that didn't matter to me. What mattered to me was my plan, and I'm going to complete it. No matter what the situation it will leave on my friends and family. Well Twilight and Celestia are close to a family I got.

Sweetie Belle gave me a confused look as I looked around the boutique. "Spike what are looking for?" she asked me. I looked at her and replied, "Nothing. Just remembering the good times when Rarity was in here."

Sweetie Belle looked down at the ground, tears escaping her eyes. I felt guilty, bring up her dead sister like that. I had an idea. I said, "Hey Sweetie. Maybe you and I should go out for some candy or something to cheer us both up."

Sweetie looks up at me, trying to smile, and she squealed in delight at my idea. It's been a while since I last herd her squeal in delight. She almost reminds me of Rarity, almost. I don't know why, it's just a feeling that I got. I soon saw her at the front door waiting for me. "Come on Spike." I smiled a little bit, "I'll be there in a few minutes." I said back to her, as I went up the stairs, and walked to Rarity's bedroom.

I opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind me. I pulled out the knife I got from the library kitchen and pointed the tip at my chest. I closed my eyes and prepared for the end to come. That's when I heard a voice, "Spikey-Wikey, what are you doing in my bedroom darling?"

I opened my eyes and I saw a white unicorn with a purple curled mane and tail, blue eye shadow above her eyes, long black eye lashes, blue sapphire eyes that anypony or dragon could get lost into, and her cutie mark of three gems. It was Rarity, she was alive as I saw her walk towards me. "Rarity? Is that you?" I asked her, confused about what I was seeing.

She began to giggle, the kind that I love when she laughs. Then she replied, "Of course it's me darling, why are you asking?"

I then realized something Rarity was dead, she died in my claws, the casket was buried in the ground, and I'm falling for some kind of trick that my mind was playing on me. "You're not real." I said to the "supposed to be Rarity" in front of me. She had a confused expression on her face.

"Darling what are you talkin---

"You're not real." I cut her off, this time with anger.

"Of course I'm real darling."

"You are not here, in front of me."

"Darling are you okay?"

"You died here, in the bedroom, in my claws."

"What are you talking about?"

"You died Rarity! I watched them put your casket down in the ground!"

Rarity or whoever this pony was fell silent after what I said about her. She then looked into my eyes and said, "Is that all you have to say to me Spike? I thought you actually loved me from the bottom of your heart."

I felt a little guilty from saying those harsh things, but wait a moment how did she know how I felt about her. "How do you know how I feel? I never told anypony." I said, angrily.

Rarity looked down at the floor of her bedroom, pawing at it for a bit, then she replied, "I've known for a while now Spike. The way you look at me, the way you help me, and the way you try to make everypony happy."

I had a confused expression, but that didn't help me get my answer. "How do you know how I feel about you or her?"

The Rarity in front of me sighed in defeat as she looked into my eyes again and replied, "I know a lot about you Spike the Dragon. I know everything about you, your friends, the ones you love and your princesses."

Now I'm really confused. Who is this pony standing in front of me using Rarity as a puppet. I realized who it was, I shouted in anger, "Discord." I had my claws ready to take down the master of chaos with me if I have to. I charged at the puppet Rarity, claws at the ready, when I finally reached her, my claws went right through her. I crashed into a nearby drawer, "Ow." I said, out loud.

I looked at the Rarity in front of me again, rubbing my eyes clearly making sure she is standing right in front of me. I walked slowly towards her, just as I got close she looked up at me and said, "I'm just a ghost to your and for your eyes only. I came here to give you a message Spike."

I sat down on the floor, I gestured for her to speak. Rarity then spoke, "Alright darling. I committed suicide because of well depression and a lot of other things. I want you not to do the same and make everypony sad because you killed yourself."

I looked at her again, tears escaping my eyes as I spoke, "But...But I want to be with you Rarity. I wanted to be with you forever. I just can't live anymore without you."

She looked down at me and put a hoof under my chin, gently lifted my face up to meet hers. Rarity was smiling at me, I don't know why but I guess I told her how I felt about her. I couldn't stop crying, I  didn't want her to go, it wasn't her time yet to leave this world.

"Spike darling, make everypony happy for me okay. I have to go now." Rarity said, as she turns her back towards me.

"Wait... Wait.... Wait!" I shouted at her, running after her. She turns around to face me, as I looked at her. I asked, "Will I see you again? Like in my dreams or something? Cause I need to know."

Rarity stood still for a moment, a smile escaped her lips as she lifted her head and she pressed her lips against mine scaly lips. I was shocked at first, then I closed my eyes, and leaned into the kiss. Even if she was a ghost, her lips felt real to me.

We parted our lips away from each other as I stood there stunned. She giggled and asked, "Does that answer your question, my Spikey-Wikey?"

I was still stunned but a smile formed on my face as I replied, "Yeah it does."

Soon Rarity turned her back towards me once again, swishing her tail as if trying to give me a full glimpse of what was to come in my dream state.  I couldn't wait for tonight but I made a promise to her first then I will get my reward. I told her, "Rarity wait for me. I love you with my heart."

She turned her head back towards me, and says, "I will my gentle drake."

And just like that she disappeared from my sight. I looked down at my chest and the tip of the knife was still there. I threw the knife away from me. I realized I'm still alive, and I have a date with a certain white unicorn later this evening after I make everypony happy. I walked towards the door of Rarity's room, I looked back at the room, and I said to nopony in particular, "Thank you Rarity. I will see you tonight. I hope."

I walked down the stairs and towards the front door of the shop. I looked for Sweetie Belle and she was sitting on the front porch, looking down at the ground. I heard her sobbing, so I walked towards her carefully. This is the beginning of my promise for Rarity.

Later that night

I let out a exhausted grunt as I made it back home. Twilight was reading a book at her desk, as I walked up the stairs and entered my room. I flopped down on my bed, landing on my stomach. I flipped over on my back and stared at the ceiling, thinking on what I accomplished today. I crawled under my blankets, put my head on my pillow and before I knew it, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I woke up and saw nothing but blackness. I guess I'm dreaming right now. So I pictured a perfect scenario of flowers, sunshine, a clear blue sky, and a picnic blanket and basket. Now all I have to do is wait for Rarity to show up. I waited and waited for her to arrive but I found no trace of her. I sighed as I lowered my head to face the ground.

Just as I was about to walk away, I felt something wrapped around my stomach. I look down and saw a pair of white hooves. I smiled as I turned around and saw Rarity hugging me, I hugged her back. We both hugged each other for a long time, a awkward silence that can cut the air between us began to form. I never want to let her go, just hoping she knows that already.

We held each other like this for a couple of minutes before Rarity pushed me onto the blanket. I was confused at first but, she then jumped on top of me and she kissed me on the lips. I kissed her back, however I felt something brush against my teeth. I knew this was going to be a good dream.
