Short Hand: Rarity and Spike · 11:24pm Aug 9th, 2020

Just an older snippet I will probably repurpose for Short Hand eventually.

- - -

Spike is helping Rarity with her work. Ever since Twilight ascended and Shepherd's helped coach him through controlling his greed, he's become taller and bigger. And in many eyes, far more handsome.

Spike: "Here, this is the needle you want."

Rarity: "Oh, thank you dear... Hm?" She looked over at him more closely, and saw that he was distracted. "Spike, I need the red thread next."

Spike: "Sure." *Hands over blue*

Rarity: "... Also my mane is on fire."

Spike: "That's nice..." He wasn't looking at her. Rarity turned, and took hold of his cheeks with her hooves. She turned his face.

Rarity: "Spike... What is it?"

Spike: *blushing hard* "Ah... Well, it's... It's really... I mean it's not really my..."

Rarity: "Spiiiiike~..."

Spike: "I just... I mean, you're with Shepherd a lot so I had some... I mean... Look. Are you attracted to him?"

Rarity: "Ah?! That's a very direct question-"

Spike: "Are you?!"

Rarity: "Well... Yes, I am."

Spike: *Droops* "Oh... Well... If... I mean, if that's the case, I can just-"

Rarity: "Buuut, I'm more attracted to... Someone else. Someone I've known longer. Someone... I'm just waiting on. If he's still interested, that is... In an old mare like me... *Blush*"

Spike: "... Huh?"

Rarity: *sighs* "Someone... A bit younger and kind. And brave, and wonderful. So heroic and strong, who once up and seized me like his own..."

Spike: Dot. Dot. Dot. BING! "... I'm an idiot."

Rarity: "Eh? No darling! You're just young! You have to grow up first-Er, I mean the male I'm interested in-"

Spike: "I'm legal age by pony standards."

Rarity: "..." *Kisses him* "Mmmm... Waiting's over!"

Spike: "I-Wow... Wow... Wow..."

Rarity: *Nudges him* "This is the part where you carry me off to have your way with me, dearie~."

Spike: "YES MA'AM!"

Later...

Twilight: "I... You...!"

Rarity stands before her, pregnant, with Spike next to her. Both are blushing and smiling.

Twilight: "... How...?"

Shepherd: "I'm curious too."

Spike: "Uhhh... Apparently magic?"

Twilight: "That's not an answer!"

Shepherd: "Says the alicorn princess of magic."

Twilight: "GAH!"

So Rarity isn’t going to end up married to Shepherd like the ending to The Star Revolt! said?

I adore the idea of Spike learning to control and use his Greed in positive ways. In a story I was going to write at some point, a sequel to my fic Finding Your Place, I was going to establish that yes, a dragon's size is tied to the size of their horde, and the more they collect, the bigger they get. But Spike's mindset is very different: he doesn't grow so he can acquire more stuff, but so he can better protect what he already has.

And since Spike had subconsciously claimed Ponyville and its residents as his hoard, the bigger the town gets, the bigger he gets.

Official headcanon now.

Rarity: "Eh? No darling! You're just young! You have to grow up first-Er, I mean the male I'm interested in-"

Spike: "I'm legal age by pony standards."

Rarity: "..." *Kisses him* "Mmmm... Waiting's over!"

:rainbowlaugh: Rarity is a mare who knows what she wants!
