Upon eavesdropping on a conversation between Rarity and Twilight Sparkle, Spike discovers what his "true love" really thinks of him, and after reminiscing on his thoughts about it, he slowly begins to drift away from his friends. With sorrow and despair in his heart, Spike runs away from home, and runs into an old enemy that tries to help him out.

However, after realizing what she has done, Rarity begins to realize and discover that she has feelings for Spike after all, but can she save him before it's too late?

Spike is in his late teens, but has yet to act on his feelings for Rarity. The Summer Sun Festival is right around the corner and Spike is determined to finally ask Rarity out. There will be heart break before the end, but Spike has plenty of love to give.

Twilight discovers more about herself and Spike than she could have imagined, once their relationship is pushed to its boundaries and things change for better and worse.

Spike has long since liked Rarity, and when Twilight Sparkle decides to hold a party and she's invited, Spike must decide if he will build up enough guts to tell her how he feels. He is determined to do so, but that has happened before and he's still chickened out.
