This story is a sequel to To Live is to Love

One day, Spike finally gets the courage together to ask Rarity out. When he finally goes to ask her, he sees something in the window that quickly shoots down that entire idea. After it happens, and he's trying to move on from the disappointment.

Rainbow Dash is there to help him out.

Spike knows that his good friend will always be there for him.

That's all she is, right?

Thanks to this guy right here for the awesome picture.

Spike always thought that his love life was simple: chase Rarity, eventually win Rarity. But a surprise confession from a friend complicates matters in a way he never could have expected.

Princess Celestia sends Twilight Sparkle a letter, asking the same question she always does. Maybe a visit from Spike will prompt her to give an answer at last.

Thanks to The Descendant for reading over this for me and making sure it had something useful to say.

Before reading I would like to explain to you that this is my very first work of fiction and my first attempt at writing a story all-together. So please excuse any grammatical, spelling or structural errors that you encounter - I am well aware of them, but I just don't have the time to update it.

At only the age of 15 a young and adorable Sweetie Belle finds herself among the gifted and talented of Equestria. She is sent of to the most prestigious high school in the entire land and, among many things, she finds love with a childhood friend.

Follow Spike and Sweetie as they follow their hearts and uncover the true meaning of undying courtship.

Spike, Sweetie Belle, Rarity, Lyvia Sounds, Lil' Dew, Headmaster Tinder-Box

That's right. This story has the infamous tag-trifecta of pony blasphemy. We're shipping humans with ponies over here.

But what's this? Something's gone wrong. Our bipedal hero doesn't want to lose his heart to an equine!

Poor, broken-hearted Carrot Top! She just can't understand it. Who wouldn't want to be shipped with a pony?

Watch as Spike grows into his destiny as a protector of not just the wildlife of Equestria but the very balance of nature itself. Spike will have to battle against everything from, manticores, hydras, constellation beast, timberwolves, corrupt forest gods, and everything in between.

A story of bravery. A story of sacrifice. A story of life. A story of death. A story of belief. A story of many words, but only one to match them all. A story of love.

Seconds feel like centuries as death stares you in the face. As two friends fall to their ends from a cliff base, they will learn that friendship is not the proper word to describe how they really feel. It takes something more than simple friendship to end your life... in hopes to save another.

Spike wakes up one day feeling like a winner. To test his newfound winning abilities, he challenges Rainbow Dash and Applejack to a simple little game of Truth or Dare. What ensues will change the lives of the three forever.

Author's note: Spike's a boss.
