The Shadow of the Beast within Spike bowed down before Spike’s spirit.
“Master…oh master I helped you save the one you love and I took great pain. But master, your decision is most unwise for it is not fair to me.”
“You are a part of me and I control you. So who are you to tell me that the decision I made is unwise!” Spike responded to the shadow within him.
“Because I can take control again if I wish…well only if you get greedy or heartbroken. But more importantly I found something more valuable then gold, silver, gems, hmmmm gems, hey got any gems by way? AH! Sorry master. This thing is more valuable than any object you can lay your hands on.”
“And what is this thing that is more valuable than gold, silver, gems, or any object in existence because last time I checked you’re all about greed.”
The Shadow scoffed lightly.
“Love…or should I say the white mare.”
“Rarity…?” Cried Spike.
***
Rainbow Dash trotted about in Canterlot looking for the fancy hotel. Pinkie Pie provided her with a map but the map proved to be more a joke than of any use, it is drawing in crayon of two X’s in which one x says Ponyville and the other says Fancy hotel suite.
“Well this is just useful.” Rainbow groaned in annoyance.
The cyan Pegasus continued trotting about until she spotted a stallion with a monocle giving an elegant armored mare a departing kiss, Rainbow face lit up with relief. “Hey Fancy Pants, it’s me Rainbow Dash!”
Fancy Pants turned to the mare who called out his name. “AHHH! Rainbow Dash how are you my dear.”
“ Excellent! Hey listen I need your help that is if you don’t mind?” Rainbow asked.
Fancy Pants smiled. “Not at all my dear.”
“Phew, do you know where I can find this nice hotel?” Rainbow showed him the reservation ticket.
Fancy Pants adjusted his monocle so he can read the text. “The name of the hotel is the Glowing Kiowa and it's right behind you.”
Rainbow Dash turned around and sure enough on a hanging banner in bold letters it said the Glowing Kiowa. “Oh, uh thanks Fancy Pants.” Rainbow said while she rubbed the back of her head along with her ears dropping in embarrassment.
“Not a problem my dear and I do hope you enjoy your day.” Fancy Pants turned to trot away. As he trotted, he felt a little twinge of joy at knowing that he just helped the mare who is the perfect match for Rarity.
Rainbow Dash arrived at the lobby; she couldn’t help but be taken away at the sight of this amazing grandeur. Marble statues greeting her with wide arms, a water fountain adorned with gems, clouds spewing out mini lightning bolts, and food fit for Princess Celestia herself.
“WOW…I don’t know how Pinkie was able to get me a suite here but I’m sure glad she did.” Rainbow went up to counter and presented her reservation.
The clerk took a quick glance at the note while checking a clip board. “Ah, Rainbow Dashie!” Said the clerk.
“What?”
“You are Rainbow Dashie right?” The clerk asked.
“Oh Pinkie, you will never change.” Rainbow Dash thought to herself.
“Yes, I am the one and only Rainbow Da…shie.”
“Good, good, here is your key, your spa pass, and some chocolate. Enjoy your stay.”
“Thank you very much sir. Ho, ho, ho chocolate!” A mare’s best friend.
Rainbow took the elevator to reach her suite. “Ok it should be around her somewhere, hmm, let’s see 1135, no 1136, no, 1137, no AH, 1138 here it is!”
Rainbow took hold of the key with her teeth and unlocked the door. “Wooooooooooow…this is sooo AWESOME!!” A king size memory foam bed with some more chocolate, a huge Jacuzzi bath tub with a bowl of chocolates nearby, plates filled with the most exotic fruits in the world, and a stack of new Daring Doo books.
*Ecstatic squeal*
“PINKIE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!” Rainbow quickly grabbed hold of the first Daring Doo book and turned to the first page. “Holy sweet Luna with the moon dipped in Pony Dane chocolate wrapped up in yummy marzipan whatever madness! This is a new book, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!! EPIC!!” Rainbow jumped on the bed to begin reading the book but then she remembered that she is in Canterlot’s fanciest hotel. “Why should I just read the book here when I can be reading it in the pool, while having a tall glass of Mountain Zero Baja Pepper, oh sweet Luna this day is getting better by the minute.” Rainbow took the book as she glided down peacefully like a dandelion seed in the arms of a kind breeze. She ordered her drink, sat down on the pool steps, and began to read.
Coming around the last corner Rarity cantered quite rapidly to arrive at the hotel, she couldn’t understand how in the world Pinkie was able to secure her a suite and complete spa pass, but hey she knows that Pinkie’s randomness can always provide unexpected results.
Taking a few more last steps Rarity made it to her destination.
“The Glowing Kiowa…the most prestigious hotel in all of Equestria.” Rarity didn’t bother wasting another second, she dashed inside the hotel and just like Rainbow Dash she too marveled at the sheer grandeur around her. Rarity went up to the clerk to present him with her reservation.
The clerk got his clipboard once again just to make sure, his eyes spotted Rarity’s name next to the same room Rainbow Dashie checked in earlier. “Hmm, strange?” The clerk thought to himself. He was about to ask Rarity if she knew anything about Rainbow Dashie checking in earlier but then he saw a freakishly long pink arm come out from thin air and drop a note in front of him. The note said the room is reserved for both of them because they are marefriends and neither one of them is expecting to see on another. Comprende! Now it made sense to the clerk.
“Here is your key mademoiselle, spa pass, and some chocolate enjoy your stay at the Glowing Kiowa!”
“Thank you.”
Quickly, Rarity got in the elevator, adorably tapping her hooves in happy anticipation.
*The last ding*
“1138 here I come!”
The white mare’s horn glowed to levitate the key and open the door to her suite.
No words came out of Rarity’s mouth, however, Rarity managed to come up with a few within her mind.
Her magic levitated some exotic crimson cranberries to her mouth. The sour sweetness caused her tongue to riffle in pleasant comfort. A smile grew on Rarity’s face. “Oh Pinkie you sure went out of your way to make it up to me…you really outdid yourself this time and probably forever.”
Rarity walked into the room where the Jacuzzi called for her by bubbling intensely.
“Rarity you must treat yourself to the wonderful bliss of the Jacuzzi, oh but Rarity you must go to the spa! Still the Jacuzzi will relax your muscles allowing the spa treatments to feel so divine!” Rarity just had to make up her mind. “Rarity the Jacuzzi it is and Jacuzzi I will.”
Joyfully the white mare hopped into the waiting bubbles of the Jacuzzi, finally sensing a feeling of peace and security she dozed off into beauty sleep.
***
Rainbow Dash closed the book in both happiness and disappointment, the book was too short, way too short! Still she’s happy though knowing that there are more Daring Doo books to be read and more soda to enjoy. Lazily Rainbow left the pool and headed back to the suite to get another book.
“Instead of coming back to the pool I could use that spa pass so I read the book while I’m getting a totally awesome massage.” Happily thought the cyan Pegasus.
Rainbow opened the door to the suite and went in.
Rarity woke up from her nice slumber, got out of the Jacuzzi, and wrapped a towel around her hair to make her way to the main area of the suite so she can pick up the spa pass.
“Yes got the book, huh?” Rainbow noticed a trail of water on the carpet. “Strange I dried myself before coming up here.” Cautiously she followed the trail.
Rarity looked at the tempting fruit thinking if she should have one as a snack right now or just go to the spa, come back and gobble every yummy fruit.
Rainbow peeked around the corner to once seeing that the trail of water ended at the entrance to the living room of the suite, all that she can see is a pony with something on its head and a nice rear…so to speak.
“HEY! Who the heck are you!?” Shouted Rainbow Dash.
Rarity jumped up in fright. “Please don’t hurt me! I got nothing of value but this spa pass!”
Rainbow jerked her head back at hearing that voice. “Rarity, is that you?”
The white mare turned around because now that she’s focused, her eyebrows went up at hearing that rough voice. “Rainbow, what are you doing here?”
Both mares stared at each other.
“What am I doing here? Uh, it should be, what are you doing here?” Said Rainbow.
Rarity took off the towel. “I’m here because Pinkie Pie reserved me this suite to apologize to me.”
Rainbow tilted her head. “Pinkie also reserved this suite for me too.”
Now both mares became confused.
“Did you get a letter from Pinkie, Rarity?”
“Why yes, how did you know?” Asked Rarity.
“Because I too got a letter from Pinkie telling me that she wanted to make it up to me by getting me this suite…oooooooooooooooooooooooh, I think I finally figured it out.” Rainbow closed the distance between her and Rarity.
“Figured out what?”
Rainbow took a deep breath; she did not know how Rarity will react once hearing about Pinkie’s assumption of both of them. Will Rarity be flattered or will she be astonished?
“Pinkie thinks, um, she thinks, will you know that you and me…c’mon you know.” A thin red line traveled across Rainbow’s face.
“I do not know what you’re trying to imply Rainbow. Pinkie thinks that you and I are what?”
A tiny grin formed on Rainbow’s face, just the way Rarity asked that question reminded her of the days she used to spend admiring Rarity her first crush from a cloud in the sky. Pure innocence is something Rarity will always have in asking simple questions.
“Sh-she thinks you and I-I, are m-marefriends.”
Rarity’s ears slowly dropped. Convincing Pinkie that she and Rainbow Dash are not marefriends will be difficult. But deciding to remember the memories before she met Spike and the one’s she has after meeting Spike, will give her peace and make her relationship with Rainbow Dash stronger.
“Marefriends?” Rarity said in a soft tone.
Rainbow breathed a sigh of relief. “Yes.”
“Well…what do you think of that Rainbow.” Rarity asked as she took a couple of steps away from Rainbow Dash and turned around so Rainbow couldn’t see her face.
Rainbow dropped to her rump to think, Rarity was her first crush and a crush is simply just a crush, nothing deep nothing complex so it phased out of her mind. Time passed until that day she stayed with Rarity to take care of her but more importantly fell in love with her. But just like the crush she had before. The love for Rarity had to be phased out of her mind.
“Well I don’t know Rarity, me and you marefriends? Is quite flattering if I think about it, BUT in a good sort of way!! He-he, in a good sort of way, you get it?” Rainbow scratched her head now because she hoped that she didn’t unintentionally offend Rarity.
Rarity remembered why Rainbow Dash is in so many of her memories, she loves the unique and Rainbow Dash is unique. Rarity loved every detail of Rainbow Dash…every detail.
Before Rarity feel in love with Spike she fell in love with Rainbow, the beautiful mare who saved her life…twice.
“Rainbow I…” Rarity completely froze for every detail she did that involved or didn’t involve Rainbow Dash manifested to the form of an epiphany.
Clarity to her actions reminded her of the love she had for Rainbow Dash. Sense it all made sense, Rarity always sat next to Rainbow Dash not because of choice but because of loving instinct like two ponies in love who will do anything to sit next to each. Smiling whenever Rainbow touched her with rough friendliness. Asking Rainbow first to breakfast before asking everypony else. Forgiving, Rainbow Dash even though she said she will get Rainbow for leaving her behind in the desert with Pinkie. Taking the most time to make Rainbow’s first gala dress with the most detail. Asking Applejack to switch places during Princess Cadance’s and Shining Armor’s wedding rehearsal so she can be next to Rainbow Dash. Happily taking Rainbow Dash to her little workplace to make adjustments to her bridesmaid’s gown. Or perhaps the act that connected everything is when she reached out to catch Rainbow’s bridesmaid gown first with tender care before catching everypony else’s.
Rarity had to remind herself of some things first before carrying out any of her intentions. “Applejack, I will not be with a mare who only wants to use me, Spike only thinks of my own good and maybe well I don’t know about Spike but I still got time…I hope. But Rainbow Dash? Pinkie thinks that she is my marefriend.” Incorrect assumptions can sometimes lead to a good thing that will only last for a day. “If she only she was. If only.”
Rarity turned around, slowly walked over to Rainbow, and began to rub her head gently against Rainbow’s head.
The thin red line that streaked across Rainbow’s earlier now became thicker. The thousands of nerve endings in her head transmitted the physical love to her mind.
Princess Luna flashed inside of Rarity’s mind bring forth realization of the affectionate act she’s doing, so quickly she stopped with a look that displayed trouble of crossing a line that shouldn’t be crossed.
“Rainbow I’m sorry! SORRY! Please don’t tell Luna, I-I didn’t mean to do that please forgive me!” Begged Rarity.
Rainbow saw Rarity cowering and trembling before her. The tender affectionate act from Rarity ignited an old spark with her, because that act conformed an old hope she had.
The cyan Pegasus reached out to touch Rarity on the shoulder causing her to calm down.
“Rarity, it’s alright, I’m not mad at you. C’mon don’t be afraid Rarity, but I just got to ask why did you do that?” Rainbow motioned Rarity to sit next to her on a couch.
The azure eyes of the white mare looked into the beautiful rose colored pools that rippled with care.
“Rainbow, I used to be…I used to be in love.” Rising fear of irrational caused Rarity to stop.
“You used to be in love with who?” *Ting* “Oh, you used to be in love with Spike, is that who you were going to say.”
Rarity shook her head, causing Rainbow to get anxious in wanting to know the reason behind Rarity’s affectionate act.
“Well if it isn’t Spike then who! Who! Who! Who!”
“She sounds like Owlowiscious.” Rarity told herself.
“Please tell me, pleassssssssssssssssssse, I, Pinkie Pie promise to never tell anypony else. Cross my heart, hope to fly, and stick a cupcake in my eye.” Rainbow extended a wing to cover Rarity.
Rainbow is Rarity’s best friend so to tell the truth will strengthen the special bond between them. “You.” Rarity whispered softly.
“You? Why kind of name is that!? You? Yo…oh.” All this time when she thought that she couldn’t find love, it was always closer to her than she thought.
“M-me?” Rainbow stuttered.
“Yes, I fell in love with you and that is before you saved me at Cloudsdale.” Rarity spoke soft while she inched closer to Rainbow Dash.
Touched and curious. “H-ho-how c-com-come you never told me this before! Did you fall in love with me after we spent all that time together helping Twilight defeat Nightmare Moon?” Rainbow pressed her nose against Rarity’s nose.
“No, I fell in love with you when I first saw you. Uniqu…” Rainbow Jumped up for joy prompting Rarity to stop in midsentence.
“YOU LOVED ME!!” Rainbow shouted for joy.
“Yes I did.”
Suddenly Rainbow grabbed Rarity and flew up into the air hugging Rarity tight with her caring arms.
From the Palace Princess Luna’s horn glowed. What Luna will tell Rainbow will give her the happiness she deserves, because Luna knew the bond between the Elements of Generosity and Loyalty is powerful.
“Rarity is the exception, use it wisely and correctly. Even I have to admit, both of you look so perfect together.” Telepathically spoke the Princess of the Moon.
“Exception?” Rainbow said loudly.
Rarity’s joyful smile from the Rainbow’s love disappearing for a couple of seconds.
“What?”
“Oh, uh, nothing!” Rainbow squeezed harder.
Luna smiled at sensing the happiness rising inside of Rainbow Dash. For once Luna will see the power and boundaries love creates.
“OW!!! Tank why did you bite my ear!!!!”
Tank now saw that twitching leaf is not a moving piece of spinach.
“Ra-Rainbo-Rainbow don’t you think you’re squeezing me a bit too hard? *Snap* Oh that feels good.” Rarity struggled to say.
Rainbow Dash opened her eyes at hearing the loud pop.
“Sweet Luna, I’m sorry Rarity.” Rainbow carefully hovered down to the couch, she let go of Rarity and sat there ready to listen.
Rarity moved her mane out of her face.
“Rainbow, I fell in love with you the minute I first saw you fly across Ponyville in that cool trademark style you have. You see Rainbow, I love the unique and you are full of uniqueness. Everything about you just calls out to me, like your rough but loving voice, sleek aerodynamic body, awesome hair, but probably the most important trait that I love the most is your steadfast devotion to the one’s you care about. Always by their side through the bad times and the good times, like you and Fluttershy, I admire the tight friendship between both of you so at that time I wished we both had a tight friendship…” Rainbow quickly stopped Rarity.
“Then how come you didn’t ask me out! After all this time…all this time I, never knew that I was loved by the most beautiful mare in all of Equstria who also has the biggest heart.”
“Because Rainbow I was afraid, afraid of you will think if a mare were to ask you for your heart and have a heart offered to you. I just couldn’t find the courage to confess my love to you, so I expressed my love for you by using you as my inspiration in making the absolute best dresses. Now as time went on, my love for you started to fade away because I saw you as the one love that’s unattainable. But the feelings for you never went away, I still had them even when I had my sights on Prince Blueblood and Spike.” Rarity placed her head on Rainbow’s shoulder.
“How did you feel about me when I saved you?” Rainbow asked.
“Ashamed, stupid, and unworthy of you.” Rarity said while remembering the foolishness she committed at the best flyer competition.
“Oh Rarity.” Rainbow once again took Rarity into her arms. “You only got carried away, hey if I magically got a horn and knew how to make dresses like you, I too, would get carried away.” Rainbow reassured.
Rarity pulled herself away from Rainbow’s hold. How she lost great opportunity to be with Rainbow by letting fear take control of her. Rarity placed her forehead against Rainbow’s.
Looking into those rose colored pools reminded her of the love that can also serve as a reminder of the lines that cannot be crossed. Rainbow is with Luna and Rarity gave Rainbow her blessing.
Love interprets its own laws to however they wish.
“Rarity is my exception. Marefriends me and her. So what if it lasts one day, I will have the date I always dreamed in having with Rarity, wisely and correctly that is.”
“Marefriends for a day.” Chanted Rainbow as she looked into those loving azure eyes.
“Rainbow, what in the world do you mean by that?”
Rainbow placed a hoof on Rarity’s cheek. “It means…for one day today let’s be marefriends and have that date both of us dreamed of having. You’re my exception Rarity, just this one date, you and me. Please say yes.”
Rarity had to be sure about one thing. “But Rainbow what about Luna? I don’t want make her mad!”
Rainbow tenderly kissed Rarity on the nose. “She told me herself that you are my exception.”
The end of her worries. “Yes.”
Rainbow smiled a huge smile!
The sparks within both spirits ignited, both spirits reached out for one another and the spirits joined together to be one, even if it only lasts a day because this one day will be a memorable one through memory and love.
Rarity kissed Rainbow on the cheek causing the cyan Pegasus to blush into a bright shade of red. Rarity giggled at seeing Rainbow acting like a young filly who just got a peck from a colt in the schoolyard.
“Rainbow, do you want to be my marefriend?” Rarity asked for the first time.
“Yes.”
Silence came, but this silence isn’t the type of silence created by awkwardness. It is the type of silence that comes when love brings two together allowing their hearts to connect.
Rainbow broke the silence. “Let’s go to the spa.” Rainbow saw Rarity tilting her head. “Together.” Now Rarity smiled.
So both mares got up to make their way to the door, however, Rarity caught sight of the stacked Daring Doo books. So her horn glowed levitating a book in front of Rainbow Dash.
“Rainbow, do you want to take a book with you to the spa?”
Rainbow took hold of the book and threw it on the bed. “Nah, today is just you and me, nothing will get in the way of that. Now let’s go.”
In the elevator Rarity nudged Rainbow on the flank with her flank, Rainbow turned towards Rarity and nudged her back soon both mares started to nudge each other, until the ding of the elevator told them they arrived to the spa. Both stopped and giggled.
A spa attendee approached Rarity and Rainbow Dash.
“Hello there, you must Rainbow Dashie and Rarity.”
Rarity looked at Rainbow with a confound look.
“He-he, Pinkie will be Pinkie.”
“If you two will please follow me, I’ll be taking you to the sauna to get both of you warmed up for the rest of the wonderful treatments.” The attendee closed the door and left to prepare the other treatments.
“Wow this is pretty neat. I’ve never been inside a sauna before.” Said Rainbow in feeling the steam tickle her pores open.
“Oh this treatment will make you feel like you’re flying under the hot sun at noon but also flying through a mist filled cloud at the same time.” Spoke Rarity while she wiped off a drop of sweat that was about to get in her left eye.
After fifth-teen minutes the attendee came by to show them to their next treatment, as she took them to the massage table she noticed how Rarity and Rainbow Dash walked very close to each other, out of curiosity she asked them a question.
“If you don’t mind me asking but are both of you a couple?”
Rainbow stopped in her tracks.
“Yes.” Responded Rarity. “Both of us are marefriends.” Rarity sealed her words by kissing Rainbow on the cheek again. Which obviously led Rainbow to blush into the brightest shade of red.
The attendee smiled happily. “Both of you look so perfect together, just like those pictures I've seen in the covers of romance novels.”
“Thank you very much.” Rainbow replied.
“Ahem anywho, will both of you please lie down on the massage table and your individual massage therapist will arrive momentary.”
“Rarity, thanks for answering for me I kind of froze for a bit because that’s the first time somepony asks me that question.”
“Of course darling.” Rarity blew a kiss to Rainbow Dash.
Soon their individual massage therapist came and began giving both mares their heavenly treatment.
Rainbow Dash flicked her tail over to Rarity’s tail and took hold of it.
“I love you, Rarity.” Whispered Rainbow.
“I love you too, Rainbow.” Murmured Rarity.
“These two are a beautiful couple.” Rarity’s massage therapist mouthed to his colleague who’s working on Rainbow’s tense muscles.
“You got that right.”

“Rarity, so that’s the name of the white mare. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful before master, which brings me to ask, how can you let a beautiful pony like her slip through your fingers?” The shadow asked.
“It’s for her own good!” Spike replied sharply to the shadow of the beast.
The shadow laughed. “For her own good? HAHAHAAHHAHAHA ! You incompetent fool! This isn’t for her own good, you’re just afraid of what other ponies will think especially our dear big sister Twilight.”
“Our big sister!? No, no let me correct you there…she is MY big sister not yours!”
The eyes of the shadow glowed.
“I AM A PART OF YOU AND WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, SHE IS STILL MY SISTER TOO! Keep that in mind master.”
“Fine I’ll give you that. But why are you so concerned about Rarity?” Spike’s spirit asked.
The shadow shook his head in disappointment. “Like I said earlier how can you let something beautiful as her slip through your fingers.”
“Because it’s for her own good.”
“Master my dear master isn’t it sad that I can see that your reason is just a total lie. This isn’t for her own good. You’re a coward, why should you let the opinions of other ponies prevent you from being with her? In the cave you had the perfect opportunity to begin a beautiful relationship with her but being the fool you are…well you already know the rest.” The shadow now stood a hair’s length from Spike’s spirit.
“She’s a pony!”
The shadow placed a fist under his chin.
“And your point is?”
Spike’s spirit grew angry. “I’m a dragon! A being of a whole different species, I got scales that are harder than diamonds and she has a coat that is soft to the touch. A dragon and pony, does it not make sense to you? Or perhaps this will jog up your thoughtlessness. I am a reptile and she is a mammal. Now you got anymore questions you want to ask?”
The shadow placed a hand on the shoulder of Spike’s spirit.
“How much will take for you to understand that what I want is beneficial to both of us. Love, my master is what I want. Love is the most valuable thing I’ve ever encountered, because if you think about it, wasn’t it love that allowed you to take back control when I became unleashed for the first time. Then came the heartbreak along with my need to have something…then I realized that only reason I was able to take control is because you allowed me to. When I took over again to protect Rarity, I did it for her because she loves you. Love is infinite and beautiful. Now that is something that will benefit both of us.” Explained the shadow.
Spike’s spirit knows the shadow is right, Rarity loves him and she didn’t want to leave the love she has for him in the cave. But he’s a dragon and she’s a pony, why can’t he see past that.
“Master, love can happen to anypony or anybody for that matter. Why else…” The shadow decided it had to be blunt in order for Spike’s spirit to fully understand love. “Master, you are a dragon, that is true and undeniable. And a lot of ponies like you. Like you not love you, they only like you, Junebug too despite the fact that you tried to extort her flowers. Twilight on the other hand loves you but that’s because she’s family. Everypony you know likes you and some perhaps go beyond like because you’re a great friend. But Rarity, she loves you. Hear what I’m saying master. She loves you and you love her. Nevertheless you allow fear of the irrational to take control. Don’t you hate it when I’m right.”
Spike’s spirit sighed. “You’re right. I love her and she loves me. Just hearing her tell me that she loves me, showed me that love can exist between anybody of different species. I’ve been a coward.”
The shadow smiled at Spike’s spirit.
“So when will you seeing Rarity?”
“I will answer your question if you first answer a question that I just have to ask.”
“Fair enough.” Replied the shadow.
“Why of a sudden do you have a deep interest in Rarity? Is she really that beautiful to you that you will convince me to start a relationship with her so you can well in your terms have her?” Spike’s spirit asked.
“Spike.” The shadow said his name. “Material objects can only provide joy for a limited time. Why else do other dragons spend so much of their long lives collecting valuables? They’re empty inside; however Spike, you are not like them because you love something and that same something loves you. I will no longer have the mighty yearning for objects because love will forever provide joy and will make both of us feel whole. Spike, I will never understand the power of love but from I felt when you and Rarity kissed for the first time… bliss everlasting bliss.”
The shadow quickly turned his back to Spike’s spirit.
“Are you blushing?” Asked Spike’s spirit.
“NO!” Yelled the shadow.
“C’mon we are one remember.”
*sigh* “Yes I’m blushing.”
Within Spike’s spirit a loud ting can be heard.
“Sweet damn pathetic long awaited realization on my part because I finally know why Rarity loves me.” Spike’s spirit confessed.
“And what’s that?”
“She loves me because she doesn’t care what other ponies think!”
The shadow rolled his eyes. “No duh doofus! Man, you’re such a doofus but at the same time adorable because of those cutest little chubby cheeks.”
The spirit of Spike embraced the shadow of the beast.
“For Rarity we become one. Through love we unite. Together we shall live in total bliss.”
The shadow nodded.
“So say we all.”
***
In the land of dreams, Twilight sat on the highest hill overlooking Ponyville. The wind blew through her tri color bangs allowing each strand to dance. Twilight smiled at feeling those tickling sensations on her forehead and horn.
A bright flash shined brightly near Twilight.
“Rarity.” Twilight voiced in complete love.
“Twilight my love.” Rarity nuzzled Twilight on cheek.
Before long Rarity gently laid Twilight on her back, seductively she got on top of Twilight with love raining down from those azure eyes.
Twilight placed a hoof on Rarity’s cheek. Her smile grew bigger by the second.
“I love you Twilight.” Rarity’s horn glowed levitating a ring with a pink diamond.
Twilight gasped! Her dreams just came true.
“Ra-Rare-Rarity a-are you, you, you…!” Twilight’s immense intelligent mind stopped churning for once.
“Twilight Sparkle, will you do me the honor of allowing me to take your hoof in marriage, so we can we join together as one and live our lives in total happiness.” Rarity placed the ring onto Twilight’s horn.
Twilight wrapped her arms around Rarity’s neck. “YES!!! YES, YES, YES!!!!!” Twilight moved in and kissed Rarity, her beautiful soul mate.
*The shattering of dreamed realism*
A powerful voice hit close to home.
“I’m disappointed in you Twilight. I never expected this from you, I taught you every one of my morals and your parents planted their values in you but yet you go spill innocent sparkling blood!? You’re better than this and I love you as my daughter…but does not mean you’ll go unpunished.”
Twilight woke up; this is the third time she denies the implication that dreams are windows of what is yet to come.
***
In the hot springs of the spa Rainbow dozed off on Rarity’s shoulder.
Rarity kissed Rainbow Dash on the head, she enjoyed every second Rainbow slept on her shoulder so she placed her chin over Rainbow’s head and smiled.
The attendee came in with towels, she opened her mouth to speak but upon seeing how lovely both Rarity and Rainbow Dash looked together, she just stood in her place and smiled.
Rarity felt the feeling that somepony is near, gently she lifted up her head. She spotted the attendee who smiled at her with towels floating above. So Rarity gave Rainbow a soft nudge to wake her up.
“No five more minutes, it wasn’t me it was Scootaloo who stole Derpy’s muffin.” Rainbow muttered.
“I’m sorry to ruin this hearty moment, but I came to tell you that your treatments are over and brought you some towels. And I may of said this already but both of you are such a wonderful couple.”
Rainbow now fully awake heard the sincere complement and took it to heart.
“Thank you, I am the luckiest mare in the world to be with Rarity.” Rainbow rubbed her head on Rarity’s cheek to seal her words.
“And I too am the luckiest mare in the world to be with Rainbow Dash…ie” Rarity’s horn glowed to get one of towels and pat Rainbow dry.
Both mares left the spa with growling stomachs.
“I sure as heck don’t know how in the world do spa treatments make me so hungry? How about you Rarity? Are you hungry?” Rainbow happily asked.
However Rarity stopped. Did Rainbow really mean what she said?
“Rainbow, can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“Did you mean what you said to attendee? Are you really lucky to be with me? Or did you just say that for the sake of saying it?”
Rainbow understood why Rarity asked that question it is only natural since today they are only marefriends for a day. So Rainbow went over to Rarity, placed a hoof under Rarity’s chin, and smiled.
“Rarity what I said, I meant. Just because we’ll marefriends for a day that doesn’t mean I’ll be saying things I don’t mean. I am the luckiest mare in world, because you were in love with me and to be loved by the mare with the biggest heart truly makes me the luckiest pony in the world.”
“Oh Rainbow.” Rarity nuzzled Rainbow on the cheek.
“I will never forsake you nor will I let you down. We will always love each other and use this day to create the greatest memory in our minds for allowing the love we have for each other to blossom.” Rainbow took hold of Rarity’s tail. “C’mon let’s eat.”
Tears of joy ran down from Rarity’s eyes Rainbow is right today will be the greatest memory even if lasts one day.
“Rarity please don’t do that because then you’ll get me crying tears of joy too.”
“Sorry.” Rarity wiped her tears away.
Rarity pulled a chair back for Rainbow while Rainbow patted the chair next to her telling Rarity to sit by her.
After telling the waiter what they wanted both began to have a conversation. The other ponies noticed them, one pony who sat a couple of tables from them took a picture of their tails which are wrapped together. She decided to use this image to be the cover image of a romance novel she's writing.
“Those two just gave me a great idea!” Thought the mare. “Waiter.” She called.
“Yes Madame.”
“Please give them a bottle of your finest wine…OH! Please don’t tell them it’s from me alright.”
“Yes Madame Victorious.”
The waiter took the cold bottle of red wine to Rarity’s and Rainbow Dash’s table.
“An unnamed patron wanted you to have this bottle of our finest wine along with wishing you the best in your relationship.”
“Wow we’re really getting a lot of attention.”
“We sure are.” Rarity replied.
Rainbow carefully held the cup of wine with her hoofs while Rarity’s horn glowed levitating her cup.
“To us, to you, to me…to our relationship. Our friendship will last forever.” Rainbow tapped her glass with Rarity’s.
Both enjoyed their first dinner together.
After eating they walked together close with their flanks touching, observing the clouds crawling across the sky, enjoying each other’s touch, sharing a milkshake, and finally…enjoying the sun set.
The blue sky became darker with the passing minutes, glowing dot by glowing dot the stars shined above. Rainbow Dash yawned loudly. “I’m tired.” She stated as if the obvious needed to be stated.
Rainbow told Rarity that it’s time to head back to the suite. Before turning around Rarity took a glance at the night sky, she noticed how some of the stars shined brighter than the rest.
Rarity’s powerful focus on detail connected each of the shiny stars. Her eyes widened at seeing the complete picture of this constellation.
“Rainbow come quick! You have to see this quickly, quickly!” Rarity’s magic grabbed hold of Rainbow’s tail, dragging her against her will.
“Rarity, don’t pull so hard!” Rainbow got back up on all fours. “Ok now what do you want to show me.”
The white mare lifted up her hoof but the voice of the Princess of the Moon telepathically spoke to her.
“Rarity stop. Do not show Rainbow the beautiful constellation, it will ruin the beautiful love flowing between both of you.”
“Uhhhh.” Even Princess Luna herself wants the love between her and Rainbow Dash to continue flowing, so it won’t be wise to disobey. “A shooting star!” Quick thinking on Rarity’s part.
Rainbow’s wings flung up in curiosity. “Where! I don’t see it…aww I missed it didn’t I.”
Rarity nodded rapidly.
“Did you make a wish Rarity?”
“A wish? Now why will I make a wish after seeing a shooting star?” Asked the white mare.
Rainbow giggled. “Because sweetheart.” Rainbow gently tapped Rarity’s nose. “Whenever somepony sees a shooting star they make wish.”
“Why?”
“Beats me.” Shrugged Rainbow. “Hey! Since you didn’t make a wish can I do it for you!?”
“I don’t see why not.”
“Awesome!” So Rainbow went into deep thought to think up her wish. Many possibilities ran through her head, but she can only pick one out of the thousands. Finally after narrowing down her possibilities she started to make her wish.
“I wish that next week when I audition for a place on the Wonderbolts team, you will be there cheering for me.” Rainbow nudged Rarity on the flank.
“Me?” Rarity said in high pitched honor.
“Yeah you, look you had a bad first experience at Cloudsdale. So I want you to come with me so you can have a better experience and it will mean so much to me to see you there cheering in that classy lady style of yours.”
“I’m honored Rainbow Dash thank you!” Rarity hugged Rainbow tight.
“Let’s hit the sack.”
“I couldn’t agree with you more.” Now it’s Rarity’s turn to yawn.
Both elements went back up to their suite. When they got into bed they practically melted, the memory form bed took them to a world of complete harmony.
Azure colored eyes looked into the rose colored pools while the rose colored pools looked into the azure colored eyes. The spirits of the Elements of Generosity and Loyalty began to let go of each other, they experienced what they wanted so now it’s time to let go of the love and come to respect the boundaries love creates.
“Rainbow, thank you for being there for me in my time of greatest need, thank you for spending this day with me.”
“Rarity, thank you for loving me and I will always be there for you no matter what.”
At the same time they smiled and for the first time Rarity smiled a full smile.
“I love you.” They both said in unison.
Inch by inch the distance between their lips became shorter. Both of them closed their eyes.
Their lips met and locked. Their bodies began to glow signifying that their spirits are no longer together.
Rainbow Dash enjoyed the warmth from Rarity’s lips.
Rarity enjoyed the softness of Rainbow’s lips.
“A kiss to end such a lovely date…a wise and correct choice. Now I know why Celli hasn’t made love part of the Elements of Harmony it’s just too powerful, way too powerful to be harnessed and wielded by one alone...except Cadance.” Luna said to herself.
The kiss ended and Rainbow took Rarity into her loving arms, she felt the slow intervals of Rarity’s warm breath striking her chest. Rarity is completely asleep with a smile on her face.
But before Rainbow fell asleep one last thought went through her head.
“I guess she moved on pretty quick about Gold Sky’s death, I should ask her how she feels at breakfast.”
Rainbow closed her eyes and went to sleep.
The day is over, no longer marefriends just best friends.

Truth be told I think RariDash is the best shipping couple, then FlutterTwi or TwiShy.

"LET GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Roared Big Macintosh causing a visible distortion in the clarity around him and a shock wave that shattered windows and glass objects.
"AHHHH!" Lyra covered her bleeding ears.
