//------------------------------// // Ch.3: Do I Love Him? // Story: Love at Sundown. // by trahzo //------------------------------// It was now the next week & Sunset Shimmer was having some strong thoughts. She wondered if she was beginning to fall in love with Spike, for he's been nothing but helpful this week and the thing she felt within her heart was growing stronger & stronger. "Spike?" "Yeah Sunset Shimmer? "Well, don't you get lonely when Twilight leaves the library?" "What, no, in fact I think she should go-onger adventures more often, gives her more time to be social." "Did you just say go-onger instead of go-on?" "Yeah, as in Engine Sentai Go-Onger!" Then he did a pose. Sunset giggled a little "Spike, what do you do when your alone?" "Well, I do chores, feed the owl, pretend we're closed so the CMC don't find me or ruin the library, plant a fun prank for Twi when she enters the door, and watch some T.V." "How about when your out of the Library?" "I head to the arcade, make sure the CMC don't find me, and hangout with my guy friends, well not Snips & Snails, those 2 are idiots." "*giggle*(Quit it you laughing fool, it's not that funny, well actually, calling Snips & Snails idiots or any variation of that word is pretty funny.) Hey Spike, can we go out & do something?" "Like a date?" "WHAT? NO, NO, NO, I mean, we can go around town & you can give me the tour." "I was just teasing yah." So they left the library & set-off for their 1st stop, Sugarcube Corner. Meanwhie... "Spike's really got some swag going on, did you see how red her cheeks were when Spike mentioned the word date?" asked Rainbow Dash "It's still not good enough, her feelings for him must become stronger!" said Princess Celestia. now back to Sunset & Spike They made it to Sugarcube Corner a little later. "Ah, hello Spike, who's the cute mare next to you, your girlfriend." said Carrot Cake. "NO!" yelled Sunset "(Well...I want to maybe.) "Woah, simmer down, Shimmer! No, she's not my girlfriend, I'm her parole officer." "Parole officer?" "Yeah, she's on parole for a month & if she doesn't do anymore serious crimes, then my friends can trust her." "...I choose to go along with this. So, what would the both of you like?" Asked Carrot Cake "1 dozen donuts with powdered sugar, just like how Kamen Rider Wizard likes 'em." answered Spike "Um...I'd like an apple pie." said Sunset Shimmer, while trying not to look at Spike who was right next to her. "Coming right-up!" This is what happened while they were waiting. "So, have you ever kissed anypony?" Asked Sunset Shimmer "No, I've never had, well unless you count a dog-kiss as an actual kiss." "Hm? Maybe, explain." "Remember when Twilight defeated you on the night of the fall formal?" "Yeah." "Well, when she was unconscious after using the her harmony power, I licked Twilight's cheek to wake her up." "Oh, hmm..." Meanwhile... "Don't laugh, younger siblings sometimes show their affections for the older sibling with a kiss on the cheek." "Yeah, but it was when Spike was a dog! Ha, ha, ha, ha..." Now back to Spike & Sunset. "Well, here you go Spike, 1 dozen powdered sugar & for you young lady, an apple pie, & here's a can of whipped cream if you'd like. Well, I'm gonna go take a break, today's been slow. See yah." So Spike & Sunset ate in silence. Spike was thinking Sunset was getting bored, so he grabbed a couple of straws from the kitchen. "Hey, check this out." He put one up his left nostril & the other up his right. He began exhaling air out of his nose, creating nose whistles. "Ha, ha, ha." "So, you've finally cheered-up?" "Huh? What do you mean I've finally cheered-up?" "Well, you we're looking a little bored, so I wanted to make you laugh." Spike said, while the straws were still in his nose & each time he spoke, made them whistle a few times. '*giggle*, please Spike, Stop talking with straws up your nose." "Oh, sorry." They later finished their food & left the bits on the counter. "Spike, I'm getting tired, can we go back to the library?" Sure thing and if your tired..." Spike then picked-up Sunset Shimmer, bride style & flew back to the Library. Sunset Shimmer felt like she was an actual bride, for in her daydream, she imagined Spike wearing a tux & her wearing a wedding dress, heading back to their home. "I do love him, why else would I'd have that kind of imagination?" she grumbled. "(Wait, aw-man, please don't let him hear that.)" "You say something?" Asked Spike "No!" "Alright.(Man, she's being so weird.)" Meanwhile... "Son, why must you be so oblivious?" Celestia said to herself. End of chapter.
