A little later, Spike was walking into another part of town thinking again.
”First Twilight says she’s in love with me, next Pinkie Pie is in love with me too,” he acknowledged. “I sure wish I knew what was going on.”
Suddenly he bumped into a Stallion by the name of Lucky.
”Sorry,” he said, brushing himself off. The Stallion looked at him.
”Wait a minute,” he said. “Aren't you Spike, the dragon that lives with Twilight?”
Spike gulped. He wasn't sure why, but the way Lucky asked him kind of sounded like a threat. “M-maybe,” he answered nervously. Lucky took a look at Spike before backing off.
“That’s what I thought,” he said. Suddenly he raised his hoof into the air. “Hey guys, look!” he cried in excitement. “It’s Spike!”
Before Spike realized what is going on, he found himself surrounded by a large group of chattering Stallions asking for his autograph as if he was a Famous Pony. Among the group are some Stallions he already knows; Time Turner, Caramel, Thunderlane, and many others.
”What’s going on?” asked Spike. He was feeling quite overwhelmed.
“Don’t act like you don’t know what’s going on, you sly devil,” grinned Lucky, nudging him in the side.
“You’re the first male in Ponyville to have 6 girls fall in love with you in one day!” explained Caramel.
Spike was surprised. “6?”
”Yeah,” said Caramel. “Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack.”
”You’re our hero, dude!” called a Stallion from the crowd.
”So what’s your secret?” asked another.
”Uh, natural charm,” Spike chuckled uneasily.
“It’s just surprising that 6 mares would fall in love with a Dragon like you,” put in another Stallion.
“Did somepony say dragon?”
Spike recognized that voice right away. “That sounded like Rainbow DAAAASH!!!!”
Just as Spike was saying the word “Dash”, he had gotten snatched away by a bright Rainbow flash. The group watched as the flash that grabbed Spike was revealed to be Rainbow Dash. Spike looked down and saw how high in the sky they were.
“Whoa!” he cried, trying to hang on for dear life. “What’s the rush, Rainbow Dash?”
”What’s not the rush?” the excited Pegasus answered. “I’ve got an extra ticket to the Wonderbolts Air Show this afternoon in Cloudsdale! And guess who that extra ticket is going to.”
“Uh, Twilight?”
Rainbow Dash laughed. “Wrong.”
“Rarity?”
“Wrong again,” said Rainbow Dash. “I’ll give you a hint: Who do I have in my hooves right now, is the coolest dragon in Ponyville, and the one I’m in love with?”
”Uh, me?” answered Spike.
”Bingo!” said Rainbow Dash.
“You mean you don’t want to take me to some sweet frilly movie in French?” asked Spike.
Upon hearing this, Rainbow Dash halted.
”Listen Spike,” she explained, “we may be dating and all, but no way would I give up my pride and swag just for someone I like. Got it?”
”I got it,” replied Spike.
”Good. Now let’s hurry!”
They soon arrived at the Air Show and took their seats. Before long the Air Show started.
”I have a good feeling that I’ll be a Wonderbolt someday,” said Rainbow Dash with confidence in her voice.
“Me too,” agreed Spike. “You've been working hard enough to be one.”
Rainbow Dash hugged Spike. “Got that right,” she chuckled. “And pretty soon they’re gonna start calling you ‘Spike, the Dragon who’s married to the most awesome Wonderbolt in the World.’ That is of course after we tie the knot.”
Spike’s eyes widened with the nervous thought of marrying Rainbow Dash. Suddenly, the best part of the Air Show happened and then in the excitement, Rainbow Dash accidentally knocked Spike right out of his seat without even noticing, catapulting him over the bleachers, and sailing down the sky.
”This is what I call awesome!” cried Rainbow Dash. “Right Spike?” Spike didn't answer.
“Spike?”
Suddenly Rainbow Dash realized what had happened.
“Uh oh!” she cried. And she raced off to find Spike.
