As Spike walked home, he continues to think about Alice (aka Apple Bloom) and the kiss she gave him. His hand over the cheek she kissed, his face held a sad look at the though of never seeing her again. He felt so down that he didn't notice Rarity as he walks past her.
"Oh Spike, how...are...you..." Rarity said as she notices the sad look on his face. "Spike?"
"Hmm? Oh, hi Rarity..." Spike said just notices that Rarity was there.
"Spike, are you feeling alright?" She asked.
"I-It's nothing... Don't worry about it..." He said trying to hid his sadness.
"Now Spike, you know you shouldn't keep things in. Especially if it's making you this depress, now tell me what's wrong?She asked with concern.
"Well...okay... You see there's this girl I met today, her name's Alice..."
"Oh, is she the young lady you've been escorting around?" She asked.
"Yeah, how'd you know?
"I ran into Twilight and she told me all about her and how you were showing her around town. Did you had a good time with her?"
"Yeah, we had a great time... But..."
"But? Didn't you like her?"
"That's just it!" He yelled a little making Rarity jump. "I don't know if I can, because... because I..."
"Because you have a crush on me." She said smiling a little.
"Exactly! Wait what?!" He said shock at what he had just heard. "Y-you knew?" He then gets a little embarrass.
"Oh Spike dear, I've always known. But you shouldn't let it stop you from liking other girls."
"Maybe..." He starts to look at the ground and Rarity notices his sad look.
"Spike, did something happen?" She asked.
Spike looks back at the kiss Apple Bloom gave him and blushes a little. "Well... Something happen and I...I think I might..."
At that moment Rarity took one look at Spike again and understood as she smiled. "Say no more... But I believe I'm not the one you should admit it too."
"But she's about to leave soon."
"Spike!" She said lifting his head. "Crushes come and go, but love is a true rarity." She starts pushing to get him moving. "So don't just stand there, go to her! Go before it's too late and you regret it forever!"
"Your right." He said as he started running to Zecora's.
"Good luck Spike..." Rarity said as she watches him go. "...and may Cupid's arrow fly true."
As Spike makes his way to Zecora's, Apple Bloom gets ready to change back to her former self.
"Now this time without the boom, are you ready to change back Apple Bloom?" Zecora asked ready with the cure.
"Ah am.Apple Bloom said as she closes her eyes waiting for Zecora to use the cure.
With one drop Zecora uses the cure on Apple Bloom. A bright light circles around her as it lift her a little in the air. From top to bottom the light circled her, slowly changing her back from dragon to pony. When it was finish, the light faded away as it slowly drops her back down.
"It work, ah'm back to my old self Zecora!" Apple Bloom said, happy that she's a pony again.
"Apple Bloom?" Said a familiar voice from behind Apple Bloom.
She turns around to find Spike surprised at what he just saw.
"Spike! Why are ya...?!" She was surprised to see him there.
"Your Alice?" He asked as he starts walking to her.
"Well I...I uh..." She starts to cry and then runs out the door.
"Apple Bloom wait!" Spike went after her, but she was out of site by the time he was outside.
"My apologies Spike I wish I knew what to say, for I didn't expected it to turnout this way." Zecora said apologizing for what happen.
"It's fine... I gotta go..." He leaves heading for home.
