Trusts and Apologies

Trusts

Spike made the biggest yawn he ever made as he walked to the tower with the room where he and Twilight sleep. It's been a long day for him, the huge adventure to get some help to save Equestria from Tempest Shadow, or the Storm King since his secret of him using her was revealed, and the Songbird Serenade concert. Now, that the day's over, he can finally sleep.

"Spike.", Twilight called with a basket hanging on her left hoof.

Spike faced her lavender friend. "What's up, Twilight?", he asked.

"Rarity wanted me to give you this basket of gems.", Twilight said, handing the basket over to Spike. "It's a reward for being a trooper throughout our whole journey."

"Sweet.", Spike said, preparing to grab a gem and eat it. But, Twilight stopped him.

"Wait until tomorrow, Spike.", Twilight said. "You shouldn't eat anything before you go to bed." She began heading toward her tower where her bedroom is.

Spike was disappointed that he couldn't eat a gem, but he is happy that he got them from Rarity. "You know, in the morning, tell Rarity I said thanks for these.", he said. "And speaking of Rarity, including our other friends, do you think you should continue your make-up with them?"

Twilight froze and turned around to face Spike. "Huh?", she asked. "I thought I already did."

"That was during the battle between us and the Storm King.", Spike said. "Rainbow Dash interrupted you before you can finish."

Twilight remembered that moment, she was interrupted by Rainbow Dash when they were facing the Storm King. "Oh, now I remember, I was interrupted.", she said as she started to go the opposite direction of where she was going. "I'm going over to the castle to apologize to my friends. You should go to bed, Spike. If I don't come to the room and I'm sleeping somewhere else, I'll come to the room and wake you up in the morning."

"Ok.", Spike responded.

"I'll see you in the morning if I don't show up, Spike.", Twilight said, continuing to go to the castle.

"Good night.", Spike said, waving to her friend. He turned around, only to get scared by three tall creatures and scaring them as well. It was Capper, Captain Celaeno, and Princess Skystar. Spike took a deep breath in relief. "It's just you three."

"Yup, it's just us, we ain't going to harm you.", Capper reassured.

"Of course we're not. Besides, we saved the home of those ponies, including this little guy.", Skystar chirped.

"Yeah, the little guy who almost ran into us.", Celaeno chuckled.

Spike chuckled sheepishly with a blush on his face. "So, what are you three doing here?", he asked as his blush faded away.

"We just overheard you talking to Twilight.", Capper said.

"About what?", Spike asked.

"It was something about an apology.", Celaeno said.

"Oh, right.", Spike said. "When we left the undersea kingdom, we rested on a beach, and Twilight lashed out at her friends, because we were banished by that strict queen. Oh... uh... no offense, Princess."

"None taken, shortie.", Skystar said. "And you are right, my mom does get strict at times, and that one time was the worst time she became so shocked and mad. Your purple friend was stealing our pearl."

"She thought it was her only chance to save Equestria.", Spike said. "But, what I know is that she's sorry for stealing."

"Thanks, kid.", Skystar said, winking at the little dragon.

"Anyways, Capper.", Spike said.

"Hm?", Capper responded.

"I want to apologize for misjudging you... in my head, when we first met.", Spike said. "It's just that-"

"No worries, boy.", Capper interrupted. "And it's probably for a reason. It's about that white unicorn with the purple hair, ain't it?"

"Rarity?", Spike guessed.

"Yes.", Capper responded. "Which brings me to a certain question that I want to ask you. Do you have feelings for her?"

Spike froze with sweat coming down the sides of his head. "M-Me? Feelings f-for R-Rarity? H-How did you k-know that?", he asked.

"I can tell by the jealous rage in your eye.", Capper said. "You have feelings for her this whole time and never even spoke up. Is that correct?"

"Yes, I do like her, but she's not into me.", Spike said shyly. "I hope you're not mad."

"Don't worry, no need to feel afraid, I'm not mad.", Capper said.

Spike was surprised. "You're not?", he asked.

"Nope, because I never had a crush on her to begin with.", Capper said. "Because, since the beginning, I had a crush on somepony else."

Spike was slightly shocked to hear Capper say the word 'somepony'. He became a tad bit curious of who he has a crush on. "You're kidding. Is it Applejack?", he asked.

"Nope.", Capper said. "She's a farmer. Besides, she's not as beautiful as a princess. Don't tell her I said that."

"Pinkie Pie?", he guessed.

"No.", Capper said. "Nice guess though."

"Fluttershy's my last guess.", Spike said.

"Nice last guess, but no.", Capper said. "I'm talking about Twilight."

Spike froze in shock. "Twilight? My caretaker, Twilight?", he asked. "You have a crush on her?"

"That's right.", Capper said. "She's my special lady."

"How come you didn't tell her or us before?", Spike asked.

"Well, if I said it in front of Rarity, she might get upset and start whining and crying asking me to marry her.", Capper said.

"Okay then. Rarity's doesn't get too dramatic at times, but ok.", Spike said. "Anyways, I should go to bed, I'm getting exhausted." He passed them and began walking up the stairs. Before he can reach the top, Celaeno called for him.

"Hey, kid, thank you.", the pirate captain said.

Spike turned around to face them one more time. "What was that?", he asked.

"Listen, we just want to thank you for letting us stay here.", Skystar said.

"Well, it's not me you should be thanking, it's Twilight you should be thanking.", Spike said. "I never owned this place."

"Yeah, but still, it's kind of nice living in a beautiful area like this.", Capper said. "The towers do have nice features."

"Yeah.", Spike agreed. "They sure do."

"Good night.", Capper said. "Also, if you want some tips on how to charm a lady, I'm your guy. Just call me anytime.

"Good night.", Spike repeated back to the three, before he turned back around and continued to walk up the stairs. But, he stopped for a moment to say one last thing. "And thank you guys for sticking with us in that battle."

"No problem, kid.", Skystar chirped.

"And if your friends go through another battle and wants us to stick with them again, we trust them and you.", Capper said, before he and the other two strange creatures walked away.

Spike smiled. He then made it to the top of the stairs, opened the door, entered the room, and closed it behind him.

Did not see that coming.

I don't ship Capper with any of the Mane 6. I like Capper and Rarity having more of a Discord-Fluttershy relationship.

you know it is impressive how the ponies get so close down to the wire and yet always come out on top, i bet by the time ths storm king came ponies just started placing bets.
