//------------------------------//

The sun was coming up as a purple and green baby dragon can be seen sleeping in a basket, this baby dragon was named Spike.

Spike woke up today with a smile, he was going to spend some time with his crush Rarity. He got up from his bed and stretched, "can't wait to help Rarity today, maybe i can tell her how i feel", he said with a beaming smile.

Spike had a crush on Rarity, since him and his sorta big sister Twilight Sparkle first came to Ponyville 2 year's ago and everypony knows about it.

He walked out the room, him and Twilight share and walked downstairs, where he met the purple unicorn reading a book.

"Morning Twilight", he said with a yawn, then smile.

She looked up from the book, and greeted with a smile, "Morning Spike, sleep well", she asked her Assistant/little brother.

"yeah..i'll get breakfast started", he said with a smile, heading to the kitchen.

After a while, Spike came back from the kitchen with 2 plates of pancakes, he set one in front of Twilight and sat down to eat, as he sprinkled gems on his.

Twilight took a bite, "Spike...you make the best pancakes", she said as she continued to eat.

"Thanks, Twilight", he said, before he continued to eat.

After they ate, Spike did his chores, when he was finished, "Twilight, I'm heading to Rarity's to see if she needs help",  he said waiting for a response.

He heard Twilight say, "ok Spike, but be back before it gets dark and be safe".

Spike walking out of the Golden Oaks library.

He was walking to the fashion mares Boutique, when he something, he turned around and saw Sweetie Belle running towards him, but something was off, she had tears in her eyes.

Spike decided to check on his friend, "hey Sweetie Belle, you ok?"

But she didn't see or hear him, she ran right past him heading to the Boutique, leaving a trail of tears.

Spike stared at her running in concern, "what happened to her and why is she crying", he asked himself as he continued to walk to the Boutique.

with Sweetie Belle, she ran in the Boutique as Rarity saw her run upstairs, she called, "Sweetie Belle, what is the matter darling", but Sweetie Belle ignored her.

Sweetie Belle ran in her room, and on her bed crying.

With Spike, he walked in the Boutique, "morning Rarity, i saw Sweetie Belle crying and running over her, is she ok", he asked concerned about his friend.

"I don't know Spike, i saw her run upstairs", she sighed, "i asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say anything", she said, staring up the stairs, concerned about her little sister.

Spike thought of something, "hey Rarity, do you mind if i go upstairs to check on her", he said turning to her.

"Yes Spike, be a dear and check on Sweetie Belle", she said, concerned.

Spike nodded, "don't worry Rarity, i will", he said walking upstairs, then he came back down.

"The one on the left darling", Rarity said with a smile.

Spike nodded and walked back upstairs, and knocked on Sweetie Belles bedroom door, "Sweetie Belle, it's me Spike, are you ok", he asked.

All he heard was crying, he asked, "Sweetie Belle, can i come in?"

No answer, so he told her, "Sweetie Belle, i'm coming in, if that's ok with you", he said as he opened the door and walked in.

There he saw Sweetie Belle crying on her bed, face in her pillow, with tears soaking it.

Spike looked at her concerned, and walked up to her bed, "Sweetie Belle, whats the matter", he said jumping up on the bed and sitting down on it, next to her.

Spike put a claw to her back, she jumped in surprised and turned around, "oh, Spike it's just you", she said trying to dry her eyes.

Spike asked again in concern, "Sweetie Belle, why are you crying?"

Sweetie Belle turned away, "it's nothing Spike", she told him.

Spike didn't believe it, "Sweetie Belle, your my friend and i wanna help you", he said staring into her eyes.

Sweetie dryed her eyes, and told him what happened, "ok...this is what happened..."





15 minutes earlier

Sweetie Belle was walking home from school, Apple Bloom went home to finish her chores, and Scootaloo was with Rainbow Dash, so Sweetie Belle was by herself today, walking home.

She heard somepony, that she didn't want to hear, "well look who it is, the ugly one", she turned around and saw 2 fillies, one that was gray and had glasses, the other had light shade of purple and had a tiara on her head.

Sweetie Belle groaned, "what do you two want", she asked the bullies.

The one with the tiara smirked, "oh nothing, just wondering where are the rest of your loser friends, they probably ditched you cause they don't like to hang around with an ugly filly like you, right Silvey", she asked her friend name Silver Spoon.

Silver Spoon laughed, "right Diamond".

Sweetie Belle tried to walk away, but she heard something that made her stop, "its no wonder, that no colt wants to talk to you, because you are the ugliest filly in Ponyville", she heard Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughing.

She felt tears in the corner of her eyes, she turned around and said "just leave me alone, I've done nothing to you".

Diamond saw the tears and smirked, "look, she's even a cry baby too, a ugly cry baby blank flank", she said laughing like a cruel filly.

Sweetie Belle had heard enough as she turned around, and ran home crying.





Back in Sweetie Belle's room.

"And that's what happened", she said feeling more tears in her eyes.

"So, it was cause some cruel fillies that made you feel this way", he said with a frown.

Sweetie Belle looked down and nodded, "and they're right, nopony what's to hang out with a ugly filly like myself", she cried as Spike pulled her in for a hug, letting himself to be a shoulder to cry on.

Spike told her as he held her, "your not ugly Sweetie Belle, heck your the sister of the most beautiful mare in Ponyville, and that makes you beautiful as well", he said, trying to calm her down.

Sweetie Belle broke the hug, with tears in her eyes with a small smile, "y-you really think i'm beautiful", she asked.

Spike nodded, and thought of something, "hey, how about me and you go for a picnic, maybe that will cheer you up", he said with a smile, cleaning her tears.

Sweetie Belle nodded, "sounds great Spike", she said hugging him.

What they didn't know, Rarity was watching them from the door, she walked back downstairs, "Spike and Sweetie Belle are gonna have a picnic together", she said with a giggle, knowing that something might blossom between them.

Rarity knows about the crush Spike has on her, but she didn't say anything because she doesn't want to hurt him, and ruined there friendship.





Later with Spike, he was back at the library packing up for a picnic for him and Sweetie Belle. Twilight saw him putting things in the picnic basket like 2 sandwiches and juice, she asked, "did you asked Rarity out for a picnic date?"

"No Twilight, Sweetie Belle was upset about being bullied and being told, and thinking nopony will hang out with her because she was ugly, so i asked her if she like to join me for a picnic", he said as he finished packing.

Twilight smirked, "so, it's just you two...on a picnic".

Spike turned to her and nodded and asked, "yeah, why? what's wrong with that?"

Twilight giggled, "nothing Spike, nothing is wrong with it".

Spike stared at her, then shrugged and grabbed the basket, "I'll be back later Twilight", he said about to walk out, then he turned and grabbed his small acoustic guitar, then he walked out with it.





With Sweetie Belle, she was telling Rarity why she was upset, "and thats why i came home crying", she said, still a little upset about it.

Rarity had a sour look on her face, "so, it was those two horrible fillies that told you this", Rarity told her sister.

Sweetie Belle nodded, as Spike walked in, "hey Sweetie Belle, you ready for the picnic", he asked with a smile.

Sweetie Belle gave a small smile, "yes Spike, i'm ready", she said walking out the door with Spike.

Rarity grinned as she watched them leaving, "Spike darling, take care of Sweetie Belle", she said before heading over to the library.





With Spike and Sweetie Belle, they were walking to a hill next to sweet apple acres.

Spike looked at Sweetie Belle and saw she was still upset a little, "hey Sweetie, don't listen to those fillies, you gotta think positive", he said with a smile.

Sweetie Belle smiled a little, "thank you Spike", she said, looking at the drake, then she noticed the small guitar in his claw, "why did you bring that", she asked.

Spike looked at the guitar, "i don't know, something told me to bring it, so i did", he said wondering why he brought it.

They got to the hill as Spike set the basket down and pulled out a picnic blanket, putting it on the soft grass, he also pulled out 2 sandwiches and 2 juice boxes.

They sat down on the blanket and could see a big view of Ponyville, what they didn't know was 2 certain fillies was watching them from behind a tree.

"Why are Sweetie Belle and Spike having a picnic", the one with a orange fur whispered.

The one with a red bow grinned and whispered back, "maybe they'll on a picnic date", she giggled watching them.

Spike and Sweetie Belle started to eat their sandwich, "this is really good Spike", she said, as she ate.

"Thanks Sweetie Belle", he said eating his sandwich.

When they were done, Spike asked, "so...are you feeling better Sweetie Belle?"

Sweetie Belle smiled, "yes i am Spike, thank you".

They started talking and laughing as time went by, they even sat closer to each other.

"Hey Sweetie Belle, if those fillies ever give you trouble, just remember that i'm here for you..ok", he said smiling at her.

Sweetie Belle hugged him with a smile, "ok Spike".

Sweetie Belle broke the hug and thought about what Spike said earlier "you are beautiful", the word echoed in her head, she muttered "beautiful".

Spike saw her looking down, "Sweetie Belle, you ok", he asked.

Sweetie Belle looked up at him with a smile, "yes Spike, i'm ok".

Sweetie Belle thought of something, "Spike...do you really think i'm beautiful", she asked, looking down with a blush.

Spike turned to her, "of course Sweetie Belle, to be honest..i think your cute too", he said with a smile, making Sweetie Belle blush.

She scooted closer to him, and nuzzled his cheek, "thank you Spike" she said with a blush and smile.

In Spikes mind, "this feels right...why do i like it", he thought, then he smiled a little.

After a while the sun was setting over Ponyville, giving it a beautiful view, "wow", Sweetie Belle said, looking at the view with wide eyes and a smile, "it's looks beautiful".

Spike looked at Sweetie Belle, and saw how beautiful she looked in the sun, her snow white fur, curly pink and purple mane and tail, her cute smile.

He stared at her, "yeah...beautiful", he muttered, then shook his head, "where in Equestria, did that come from, this is to make her feel better, but it feels like a date", he thought.

Sweetie Belle turned to him, "Spike...you ok", she asked.

He shook his head, "yeah..i'm ok", he answered.

Sweetie Belle smiled at him, making Spike think, "that smile..why does she have to have a cute smile".

"Well, look what we have here Silver Spoon, the ugly filly with a dragon, makes sence", Sweetie Belle heard someopony say, she turned around and frowned.

There she saw Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughing, memories of what she said coming back to her, she felt tears in the corner of her eyes.

"Ugly filly?...wait..Sweetie Belle are these the fillies that told you that you were ugly", he asked turning to her.

Sweetie Belle nodded with tears in the corner of her eyes. Spike glared at the bullies.

From behind the, the 2 other fillies were glaring at the bullies, "thats it Apple Bloom, i gonna stop her", the orange one said.

The one named Apple Bloom, stopped her with a grin, "no Scootaloo, look", she said pointing a hoof towards Spike and Sweetie Belle.

Spike was glaring at the bullies, "hey, leave her alone".

The bullies stopped laughing, "or what", Diamond asked.

Spike smirked, "i'll have my mom, talk to your dad".

Diamond smirked herself, "so your gonna get a ugly dragon talk to my daddy, hope she doesn't eat him first", she said laughing.

Spike continued to smirk, "oh..your be surprised, when you find out who is my mom", then he smiled, "now can you please leave, so i can finish this picnic with somepony thats more beautiful than you", he asked.

Diamond glared and stomped off angrily, "a ugly filly like her and a stupid dragon like yourself deserve each other", she said walking away.

Spike turned to Sweetie Belle and saw she was crying a little, he pulled her in for a hug, "don't listen to her Sweetie, she's the real ugly one, not you", he said trying to calm her down.

Spike smiled and pulled away, "I'll know what will make you feel better", he said picking up the guitar and held it, ready to play.

Sweetie Belle saw this, "are you gonna sing to me", she asked with a small blush.

Spike shook his head, "no..we are gonna sing", he said with a smile.

Sweetie Belle looked away, "i can't sing Spike", she said looking down.

"Yes you can, i heard you before...come on", he said with a smile as he started strumming the guitar.

Sweetie Belle thought about it then started to sing.

(Pretend it's ponified)


Sweetie Belle sang with a beautiful voice, Sweetie Belle stared at Spike as she sang.

so don't you worry your pretty little mind, ponies throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard, the stakes are high, the water's rough, the sang that part together.

They felt happy being with each other, like it was meant to be, when they stopped singing, Spike told her with a smile, "you see, told you it will make you feel better".

Sweetie Belle was smiling like never before, she hugged him, "thank you Spike, for making me feel better", she said with a smile.

Then out of nowhere, she gave him a quick kiss on the lips, causing both of them to blush.

"She just kissed me...but why did it feel nice", he thought with a smile.

"Spike, i'm sorry, i didn't mean to do that", she said with a blush and looking away.

Spike gave her a smile, "it's ok Sweetie Belle...it was kinda nice actually", he said with a blush.

Spike pack up, and they started walking home, "i never knew you played guitar Spike", Sweetie Belle asked.

"Yeah, i took guitar lessons", he said with a smile.

When they got to the Boutique, Sweetie Belle said with a smile, "thanks for walking me home Spike".

"No problem Sweetie Belle, and if those fillies ever make fun of you again, just come to me", he said with a smile.

Sweetie Belle smiled, then leaned forward, kissing him on the lips, Spikes eyes widen, then he closed them.

Sweetie Belle had a blush and said goodbye walking inside, Spike stood there stunned, then he smiled as he turned and walked home with a smile.

Twilight saw Spike walk inside with a smile, "you look happy Spike", she smirked, "did something happened between you two".

Spike thought about the kiss Sweetie Belle gave him, he smiled, "Twilight, tomorrow I'm gonna ask if Sweetie Belle wants to go out with me", he said going into the kitchen, thinking about Sweetie Belle with a smile, and thinking where to take her next.

The End
