The five stages of being turned down
Life by itself can be hard and when love is involved it can be harder. How we deal with both though can be sorted in stages. Spike is going to learn these stages soon.
It's been four years since Twilight and Spike moved to Ponyville, and Spike still has a crush on Rarity. Since the first day he saw her, he wanted to ask her out, and he's imagined the scenario for them going a dozen ways. He finally takes a chance, but doesn't understand why none of those scenarios come true. Luckily, with the help of both Twilight and a stallion that he should hate, he may start getting the point. At least a little bit.
