The morning began like any other for the young dragon, get up, cook breakfast, go do the chores Twilight set up for him and maybe on a lucky day he get to see Rarity or some of his other friends.
The young dragon is starting to mature and grow to that age, Spike wouldn't lie about how he always found Rarity's beauty a lost for words. But then there is his other friends and as he grew he began to think about the others in a whole new light.
Twilight, smart, a born leader, the way how she gets into a book she really likes. Rainbow, speed demon, loyal, future Wonderbolt. Fluttershy, the kindest mare around, plus she cute, even more cuter when she shy to speak up and starts hiding behind her mane.
Pinkie, how she can turn any boring day into a great one, or how she can make anyone smile no matter how sad you maybe. Then there's Applejack, an honest, kind, loyal mare, plus the whole farm look she has adds to her beauty.
Spike loves them all, all for different reasons he didn't want to choose, heck he didn't even know if any of them felt that way about him, after all they only thought of him as a baby dragon.
Spike decide it would be best to take a small walk around Ponyville to clear his head. Get his thoughts straight, going outside and getting fresh air always helped.
The wind that blew through Ponyville was getting colder by the day with the days getting closer to Hearth's Warming Eve, Spike didn't want to take any chances on getting sick and decide to wear the jacket Rarity made for him.
A small zip up with two pockets on the outside for his claws the jacket colour being green and purple, green for the main colour and purple stripes, it help him keep warm, plus Rarity said he looks handsome in it which made Spike want to keep it and wear it only when it was beginning to get too cold.
The thoughts of Rarity began to fill his head as he thought about the wonderful mare more and more. Giving up he decide to stop by the Carousel Boutique for his first stop for the day, Spike open the door for the bell to ring to let the angel like mare to know that somepony had just entered the shop.
"Good Morning and welcome to the Carousel Boutique" Rarity said, entering the room with the smile Spike loved causing his heart to race.
"Hey Rarity, sorry for coming at such short notice I thought I would just stop by" Spike said, waiting for the return.
'No problem darling, a friend is always welcome'
That what he was used to and grew to know that Rarity may never return his feelings. That all changed when the young drake got caught off guard when the unicorn pulled him into a tight hug like she hadn't seen him in a few years.
"Oh Spikey, it great to have you here" Rarity said, crushing him in the hug more.
"Gosh, Rare can ya let me go. I kind of need to breath" Spike said, through his breathtaking.
Rarity let him go, a red blush grew on her face while she began to giggle like a school filly who just found out that her best friend has a crush.
"Umm... Rarity are you alright? You kinda weirding me out" Spike said, causing Rarity to bit her lip.
"Yes, of course darling. I just the same as I have alway been. Is there anything else you need for me?" She question causing Spike to rub his chin.
"Oh, Twi wanted to know when you're free. She wants other sleepover with all the girls this time" Spike explain
"Oh that wonderful, I can do that this Friday with is only two days away" Rarity said, making Spike nodded his head.
"Great, well I got the others to speak to, later" Spike said, waving goodbye just while Rarity let out a sign and a look when she has a huge crush on somepony.
Spike exit the Carousel Boutique, he looked back with a raised eyebrow something seem odd, the young drake shrugged his shoulders deciding it would be best to grab something to eat.
Lucky Sugar Cube Corner wasn't too far from where he was maybe about a five or so minute walk. He just hoped that he didn't start to think more thought about his friends. They are his friends, nothing more, he wishes that there would be, but it would be unlikely to happen.
Spike enter Sugar Cube Corner, just about to sit down when a pink blur rushed up to him and tackling him in a hug, now this was something he was use to, Pinkie giving hugs to her friends was nothing new, rubbing her face in Spike neck in a loving way is new.
"Umm... Pinkie" Spike said, causing Pinkie to drop him and start rubbing the back of her neck.
"Good Morning my little Spikey. What can I get for you and take to the fridge" Pinkie said, causing Spike to scratch his head in question.
"What does that even-," Spike began before shaking his head.
"Never mind, could you just get me something I can eat on the go like a cream bun?" Spike question, making Pinkie nod her head.
"Sure can do, anything else?" She asked
"Oh, yeah Twi wants a sleepover with all you girls. Is Friday good for you?" Spike wondered.
"Yeah it fine, I'll get your order Spikey" Pinkie said, giving him a wink before rushing off.
The pink mare return in a flash, a huge smile still stuck on her face, that Spike found breathtaking.
"Thanks Pinkie, see ya later" Spike said, waving goodbye to the smiling mare who looked a little nervous.
Eating his lunch, the young ran into Twilight. Telling her that both Rarity and Pinkie agree for Friday night, it was weird but Twilight seem more worried about what happen when he visit them and not about the sleepover, like she was jealous.
The same went with Rainbow and Fluttershy, the only thing different was one was more quieter than the other about knowing that Spike had seen the others and about their hugs, or winks aim at him.
At long last, the day seem to last forever, but Spike made it to Sweet Apple Acres, home of the honest farm mare Applejack and the rest of the Apple family. Spike always enjoy his time at the Apple farm with the family being kind and welcoming him.
For right now, Spike dread this place for the whole day, it seem like maybe just maybe his friends return the feeling that Spike wanted them to share, just not all at them at once.
Spike caught his tongue, finding it hard to move. Since he started to think about the others in a new light, making it harder to hang out and just be friends. But the young drake only frozen by two mares, Rarity and the other one who sat a stump with her hat covering her lovely green eyes. Spike shook his head, stepping forward to the county mare, Applejack.
Spike stepped forward, crushing a broken stick causing Applejack to open her right showing one of her green eyes that Spike melted at.
"Howdy Spike" Applejack said, opening her other eye stretching her body.
"Oh, umm.... Sup, AJ how ya a doin'?" Spike said, trying to lean on the tree next to him but missing just to fall on the ground.
Applejack let out a small laugh, before helping the fallen boy up. Spike dusted himself off with a small smile.
"What brought ya here, ah always loved having ya around, but ahem just wonderin'?" Applejack question, leaning on the tree next to her.
Spike was surprise, for the whole day it seem his friends were hitting on him here Applejack is only one that hadn't made any moves.
"Oh Twi was wondering if you are free for a sleepover this Friday?" Spike said, Applejack looked away taking her bottom lip in her mouth in a cute way.
"Umm... Yeah, ahem free. Thanks Spike anythin' else, or are ya just goin' to stare" Applejack said with a smirk causing Spike face to grow a heated blush.
"Umm...Umm... Umm..." Spike mutter out, trying to find what words to say and hope not to look like a idiot which is already happening. Before he just ran out of the farm causing Applejack to let out a sign, hitting her head.
Friday Night
The six friends sat in a circle laughing at Pinkie's "scary" story even Fluttershy let out a quiet giggle at how silly it was.
"Umm... Girls you should know why I bought you all here right?" Twilight question, after Pinkie finish her story.
"Yeah, it because we all love Spike, well besides Applejack" Rarity said, causing the farm mare to raise her eyebrow.
"Just because ah don' tease him, doesn' mean ah don' like him. Ahem just better at hiding it than you girls" Applejack said, making Twilight let out a moan.
"Look we are all friends and I'm sure that our friendship can stay strong even in the worst of times. But well maybe..." Twilight said, muttering the rest under her breath.
"What? Twi, you just as bad as Shy over here" Rainbow cried out, causing Fluttershy to nod her head in agreement.
"Well, sharing is caring" Twilight forced out, hiding the blush on her face.
"Twilight darling are you saying we all date Spike?" Rarity question, causing Twilight to nod her head slowly.
"Come on Twi, that's just ridiculous" Applejack said
"Maybe it might work because if we don't do this five of us will have our hearts broken" Pinkie said, causing the others to think.
"Umm... Girls" Fluttershy said, causing the others to look at her.
"I think we all forgetting the most important thing. Spike, shouldn't he be the one to choose to date us all or just one of us. At the end of the day we all want him to be our coltfriend" Fluttershy said, while Twilight rubbed her head.
"Your right Fluttershy, I feel like a complete idiot, keeping Spike in the dark when it is his choice at the end" Twilight said, Rainbow putting her hoof on Twilight's shoulder.
"It okay, we all did it. Too busy about our feelings towards him that I guess none of us saw his feeling towards us" Rainbow said, giving Twilight a small smile.
"We should call him down or save it for 'morrow?" Applejack asked, when Twilight let out a yawn.
"Save it for tomorrow, night girls" Twilight said, as each one of them went to sleep.
The morning again, the sun forced Spike to wake up. Just to begin the same thing once again, when the young drake got down the stairs the girls were awake and waiting for him.
"Umm... Spike," Twilight spoke up " We know you have feelings for all of us each a different, but good reason"
"And we didn't want our hearts broken, because we all share the feelings back" Rainbow said, cutting Twilight off that made the alicorn glare at the cyan pegasus.
"It all up to you partner, Twi' says we should share ya, it crazy an' ahem crazy because it sounds like a good idea, but it all up to you" Applejack said, finishing what Twilight started.
Spike froze in place his eyes blink a few times trying to see if he wasn't dead or dreaming.
"This isn't a joke right?" Spike had to question causing Twilight to roll her eyes.
"We're not joking darling and this isn't a dream" Rarity said, somehow knowing Spike's other guess.
"Well, I guess we could give it a try, I love each of you. But I don't want to hurt six beautiful mares I know if I choose one it might just end up in flames" Spike said.
"So a harem then, this maybe a little rocky at first, but I can get use to it" Spike said, causing the others to laugh.
Well, it was a long and hard road, but they was able to have it work. It took time, but each of them love Spike and he love them all back, he just needs to be careful around birthdays.
