(OLD) Prompt: Rarity Won't Tell Spike to Give up his Crush · 9:50am Oct 8th, 2020
Here's an a fanfic prompt for a short story I've been thinking of for awhile. (note: this is NOT necessarily a Sparity shipfic. It can be as a shipfic or not but that's up to you):
Twilight asks Rarity to tell Spike to give up crushing on Rarity. Twilight tells her, that Spike shouldn't try to go for an impossible dream.
But Rarity disagreed vehemently for she thinks it might just be a childish crush, but it represents what all people strive for: dreams.
Rarity would understand what it's like to have a crush on someone mostly unattainable (for Rarity, Blueblood). But it gave Rarity a goal in life, a dream, that a formerly working class pony can strive for. Even if she was rejected by Blueblood, she doesn't regret go after him.
And for Spike, it's the same thing. It can lead to Spike having new skills, having Rarity teach him how to be a gentleman and having a friend that likes to play Ogres and Oubliettes with him.
And Rarity tops it off with saying how it's always possible for Spike to grow up, and to win the heart of Rarity. Rarity doubts it would happen but that's up to Spike's fate and destiny and no one has the right to artifically force Spike to give up his dream.
This kind of ties into my future character-driven reboot idea where Spike and Rarity would have a close friendship.
