	Two months later...

--------------------------


Well, it wasn't that bad after all. I luckily made it to Everfree Forest and, as I had expected, no mare wanted to go there. Even Twilight was reluctant to do so. She simply shouted: "You're gonna get back home sooner or later, Spike! You know I'm patient! And then you'll be grounded!"

I decided to get back later. Actually, it didn't happen yet.

After I'd run into Everfree, I headed to Zecora's hut. Yeah, I know she had stated clearly that she wished not to see me anymore but... I had no other choice.

She cursed me as soon as I knocked on the door. My scales turned blue but it didn't hurt at least. Then I could ask her for a shelter. She hesitated for a moment and agreed. "A friend in need is a friend indeed," she rhymed cheesily.

Because she hadn't been  clear how long I could stay, I decided to stay as long as I could. She seemed to be happy to have some company in her usually lonely life.

And then everything began.

After living with Zecora for two weeks, I realized that she wasn't on my list! I didn't have the access to it but I wanted to cross her off the list I had in my mind.

I couldn't actually ask her out because I was afraid to go to Ponyville, so I was as straightforward as I couild.

"Wanna be my special somepo..., um, somezebra?" I asked, cowering in fear.

She hesitated for a while and answered in a single word: "Sure."

That was unexpected. I was so shocked that I had no idea how I was supposed to react. Having a special somepony or zebra, or whatever, isn't the same as a simple date, right?

But thanks to that, we finally began getting along. I mean, we had had no quarrels prior to this but we were like two strangers living under one roof.

Zecora turned out to be really cool and, during our conversations, she was able to drop her annoying manner of speaking in rhymes. We have so much in common. She's an outcast, I'm an outcast... Um... Yep, outcasts.

I'm not really sure how serious Zecora is in this relationship, though. I hope she's not gonna dump me when she is bored with me. Well, she kissed me, so this means something, right? Right?

ABut my life in Everfree isn't always easy. Sometimes somepony would come, so I have to hide under her bed. My friends are worried about me. I've seen Twilight, Fluttershy and Pinkie come to Zecora's hut ask about me.  I see Rainbow Dash once in a while as she is flying over Everfree Forest, trying to find me. Well, I'm gonna visit Ponyville in a week or so to ensure them I'm fine. Technically, I'm still Twilight's servant and she may have had some pretty hard time without me sending her letters to Princess Celestia. However, I'm not really sure how they will react to my return. I mean, they are probably very, very worried and they may become angry when they realize I've been fine all the time.I will find out soon but now, I'm enjoying some vacation.

And, surprisingly, I don't really miss Rarity now. I think I finally got over her...

OMYGOSH! SHEISCOMINGHERELOOKINGFORME!

Um,

Or, maybe not?
