Chapter 3
Spike woke up to be greeted with the blinding light of the morning sun peering through the windows of the Library. He tried to block the light by hiding his eyes under the blankets, but they weren't thick enough to block out all of the light. He finally, with a groan, got up and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He turned on the faucet and squirted a pea sized blob on his toothbrush.
When he was done, he examined his teeth to see how clean they were. He gave a smile and then a raised eyebrow look into the mirror.
"Well hello Rainbow, You'r looking very Spikealicious* today." and then gave his best sexy grin. Just then, the front doorbell rang. "Coming", Spike yelled out.
Spike walked downstairs and opened the door to see none other then his cyan eyed, Rainbow maned pegasus. "Rainbow, what are you doing here. I thought you had weather duty today."
"I did, but I got up early and decided to hall flank instead of taking my time so I can spend some time with my Dragon."
"Oh, so what do you want to do."
"How about we go for a walk. I know a great place with a perfect view."
"Alright. while were there we can have a picnic. Let me just get some stuff then well get going, Wait right here."
"Alright, just don't keep me waiting. You know how I feel about waiting."
"I'll just be a second Rainbow." Spike ran around the library looking for stuff to bring with. He brought out the new blanket that applejack gave him for his birthday and used that as a picnic pouch. He gathered up some apples, bananas, some sandwiches, sodas, and a Daring Doo book. He tied the blanket into a pouch, put it in a basket, and went back to the door. There was Rainbow in the doorway leaning on one of the sides of the doorway.
"There you are, you ready to get going."
"Definitely"
Both Rainbow and Spike started to walk towards a spot near the Everfree forest. As Spike and Dash walked, Spike got closer to Rainbow. Rainbow looked down to see Spike and put one of her wings around him so the two of them were right up against each other.
"Is that better."
"I..I guess. it's just, I'v never been in a relationship before. I don't know exactly how a good coltfriend is supposed to act."
"Relaxe little guy, all you really have to do is not get to girly on me. I'll tell you what, if you start crossing the line i'll tell you, deal."
"Deal."
Both Rainbow and Spike finally made it to the spot. Spike set up the picnic as Rainbow went up to clear the clouds away so the two of them could have clear skis. Spike stopped every once in a while to look up at Rainbow, He loved seeing her sleek, athletic body fly through the air. Rainbow came back from flying just in time to find the picnic all set up. Rainbow sat down next to spike as she took out a sandwich from the basket.
"Wow Spike, that looks delicious."
"Thanks. I may not be much of a cook but I'm pretty good at making sandwiches and re-heating." Spike and Rainbow enjoyed there sandwiches. After they finished, they looked out onto ponyville. Spike snuggled up to Rainbow as she spread out her wing to wrap it around Spike.
"I love this place. I come here whenever I really need to relax", said rainbow.
"I can see why rainbow, the view of ponyville is beautiful."
"It's not just the view I love. It's so far away from anypony that its so quiet, peaceful-", she said as she inched closer to Spike. "-and best of all, totally private", she said as she kissed Spike on the cheek. Spike turned and leaned in to give rainbow a kiss on the lips. Rainbow pushed spike onto his back and into her feathers as he stroked her rainbow mane. Spike started to moan with pleasure as Rainbow rubbed Spikes belly.
"You like it when I rub your belly."
"Yeah, why don't you tell me were your-"
"Hay guys", yelled out Pinkie. Both Spike and Rainbow gave a loud yelp. "Oh, you two are having a hug season. Can I join you two." Both Rainbow and Spike gave each other a quick look before looking back at Pinkie.
"Um Pinkie, were not having a hug season. Me and Spike are a couple."
"Oh that's great. you two actually make a cute couple."
"I'm sorry, We were going to tell everypony but I kinda wanted to spend some time with my special guy before we told you guys."
"It's okay guys, I understand. After all, I was in a relationship once. Actually not really a relationship, more like ponies with benefits." As Pinkie was talking, Rainbow looked over to see the clock tower and saw that they have been up there for three hours.
"Oh man, I need to get going spike-", said Rainbow as she and Spike got up. "- I promised Applejack that I would help with applebucking to repay her for smashing into her apple cart."
"Oh. Okay Rainbow. I'll see you tomorrow then."
"That's not soon enough, Ill come over at around nine. Catch ya later spike." Rainbow flew off as pinkie went right next to Spike.
"So Spike, what do you plane on getting Rainbow for her birthday."
"I got time. Her birthday isn't till the 28th, that's a whole week."
"Spike, today is the 27th" Spike went wide eyed.
"What, are you sure." All of a sudden pinkie pulled a calendar out of her tail. Spike saw that today was marked off and tomorrow was marked as Rainbow's birthday party.
"Oh no, I haven't even asked her what she wants. Pinkie you need to help me, give me an idea."
"What if Sheep really could make ponies sleepy."
"I ment about what to get Rainbow."
"Oh, well she needs a new pare of goggles, she lost her old ones at the Wonderbolt academy. Why don't you talk to Rarity, she can make one of those special some pony necklaces to go with it." Spike got a big smile on his face and gave pinkie a big hug.
"Thanks pinkie, your a life saver, I'll see you tomorrow"
"You too Spike."
_______________________________________________________________________________
Later that night, Spike was walking around the now darkness covered ponyvill with a set of goggles. The shop in town was out so he had to ask Derpy to go to Cloudsdale and pick them up...... it took her four hours to finally get back to ponyvill. Spike would be mad but he did not care anymore, all he cared about was he had Rainbows present and was about to get the necklace.
He finally made it to Rarity's boutique, the lights were on so she must be working on a new project. He opened the door to hear Rarity's sweet voice say,
"Sorry I'm closed for today, maybe you could come back tomorrow."
"Rarity, it's me Spike."
"Oh then come in. My doors always open for you spike wikey**."
"Thanks, I'm actually looking for a neckless as a gift."
"Oh, getting Twilight a early birthday present. There right this way." Both Spike and Rarity went over to her jewelry collection. He saw one that was a heart with two sides that came apart to make two (like a P.F.F. neckless). He took out two pictures and put them on the counter. He pointed at the neckless and said "That one looks perfect." Rarity looked a little shocked as she looked at Spike.
"Spike, that's a couples neckless."
"Yeah.. I guess nows a good time to tell you i've started dating somepony." Rarity took Spikes picture and put it in one of the heart peaces. She picked up the other picture and saw Rainbow there. She put it in the other heart and put the neckless down. Spike saw that she was starting to cry a little.
"What's wrong Rarity."
"I.... I always was hoping that.....that I would be your first love." Rarity started sobbing. spike went up to her and started to comfort her by hugging her.
"I didn't know you had feelings for me Rarity." she moved her hooves down his chest and pushed him on the couch. "Ow, Rarity what was that-", before he could finish, Rarity jumped on him and pined him to the couch.
"Spike, I'm sorry for this, but I just want one night. I want to know what it's like to love you." Rarity pressed her lips against Spike as he struggled to get free. The moment he wanted all his life, and he found someone else.
Spike had to think fast. Being around Rarity for so long ment he knew her one weakness, she was very tickles. He put a claw on her stomach and slowly slide it up towards her neck. She started to giggle which meant it was working. He than put both his claws under her front hooves and started to tickle her. He could tell she was trying her hardest to resist. He had to tickle her in the most sensitive spot, He started to tickle her belly while his tale tickled her flanks. Rarity couldn't take anymore and rolled over laughing. In that moment spike sprang to his feet and ran a fast as he could. He just ran to his house and didn't look back. All he heard was Rarity say "Spike wait, come back." After a while he stopped running and looked back to make sure he wasn't being followed.
"Sweet Celestia Spike, what have you gotten yourself into. How can it possible get any worse then this?
