			Spike was in the bedroom in the Golden Oak Library putting his new-born friend in one of his drawers. It was a small red and yellow bird that sprout from the egg from the nest that Garble wanted Spike to break. He heard hoof-steps coming toward the door. He wanted to hide, but there was no hiding place for him. So, he grabbed a book, jumped on Twilight's bed, and pretended like he's reading on the bed. Then, there was a knock on the door. "Come in.", he said. "It's nothing personal that I'm doing right now, just come in."

Rarity opened the door and walked in. She looked sad, her eyes were facing downwards and she had a frown. She wanted to say something to Spike, but she couldn't think of the words she wanted to say. She's been wanting to say she was sorry about embarrassing him during the migration war.

Spike took a look at her face and wondered what was wrong with mare he loved so much. "Rarity, what's wrong?", he asked. "You seem down. What's gotten into you lately? Did you not get any customers into your boutique today."

Rarity looked up at Spike with tears in her eyes. She collapsed on the floor and began to cry. Her makeup, including her mascara was running down with her tears as she cried.

Spike jumps off the bed and runs over to Rarity. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to do. "Rarity, what happened?", he asked. "Is there something wrong? Did Opal run away or something?"

Rarity sniffed and wiped a tear from her left eye while she tried to hold back her crying. "Oh, Spike, I'm so sorry!", she cried. "I feel so awful right now after what I did."

Spike was confused. "About what?", he asked. "What did you do that was wrong that made you like this? Did you mess something up the other day?"

"I embarrassed you in front of our friends the other day when we were out in that field when we were in the migration.", Rarity cried. "Then, you started to wonder where you were from, but you couldn't figure it out, because you were given to Twilight as an egg and wasn't born back then."

"Since when did you ever embarrassed me in front of the others?", Spike asked. "What in the world are you even talking about?"

"During the migration war between us and the other soldiers (especially Rainbow Dash was in a soldier suit), you were wearing a apron and Rainbow Dash laughed at you. I defended you and thought how cute you were when I pinched your cheeks, then you got mad.", Rarity said. "I was so foolish of myself, Spike, it was a total mistake that I said that to you of how cute you were, but you thought you were supposed to look more tougher, then you had to leave us for a while. I thought you would hate me after that, you were gone for a long time, then I thought you were trying to forget about me and pretend you never me. Please forgive me, Spike, FORGIVE ME!"

Spike understood what Rarity meant, now he's starting to feel bad about how he treated Rarity when he got mad and left the war, he thought he was making a fool of himself. He patted poor Rarity on the head. "Rarity, I know what you're saying, and it was only a mistake, whatever happened has happened, and it doesn't mean you had to feel bad about it.", he said. "I would never be mad you after what happened before, Rarity, I love you no matter what." He wrapped his arms around Rarity's neck and hugged her.

Rarity stopped crying, looked up at the dragon, and smiled. She wrapped her hooves around Spike's torso. "Oh, I love you to, Spike.", she said. "I promise I won't do that ever again."

"Thanks, Rarity, I appreciate that.", Spike said. "So, I think we're good. Should I do something to cheer you up? What do your parents do to cheer you up?"

"Whenever I feel down, my mother pokes me in the belly to cheer me up.", Rarity said. "You think you could do that?" She makes a huge smile as her face turns bright red.

"Sure, Rarity.", Spike said. "Anything for you." He's been waiting for some friendly assistance from Rarity for a while. And this is his first time.

Rarity was about to get herself prepared for some cheering time. She relaxed and laid down on her back and moved her front hooves to the side of her head to reveal her white, soft, plump belly. Her belly wiggled as she straightened out her position. She tried to relax, but she bit her lower lip and her face was sweating. "Alright, Spike, let me have it.", she said.

Spike walks over to look at his friend's belly, he might discover that Rarity is ticklish and he wanted to tickle her for the fun of it. He tested to see if Rarity was ticklish by setting one finger on the middle section of her belly, he sunk his finger deeper and deeper. Rarity snickered as she felt the finger get into her belly, she couldn't help but laugh. 

Then, Spike began to poke the center. Rarity started to giggled a lot more. Spike poked harder causing Rarity to increase her laughter. Rarity's eyes began to tear up and she kicked her legs as she got tickled. This is to show how Spike really loved Rarity very much.
