//------------------------------// // Bad Case of Loving You: (SpikeDash) // Story: Tales of Love (Re-Write) // by Mister Phoenix //------------------------------// "Alright Scootaloo, today is the day!" A young pegasus filly said to herself. The young pegasus filly stood in the middle of an empty field, filled with different types of flowers that surround the young filly, her moderate cerise colour mane blew in the heavy wind that course through Ponyville, her coat is a brilliant colour of light gamboge. Her greyish purple colour eyes locked onto the clouds above, her body was cold thanks to the early morning wind, and the fact it was going to become winter in just a couple of weeks. Scootaloo stuck out her tongue, bend her knees, her tiny wings began to flap rapidly, the young pegasus filly jumped into the air, staying at less a couple of seconds before she crashed onto the ground, spitting up the daisy that landed in her mouth. Scootaloo looked up, her mouth widens in a smile. Looking down towards the pegasus filly with her moderate cerise colour eyes, her rocking different colour mane, being a mix of brilliant amaranth, then brilliant vermilion, pale with some light greyish olive, then moderate harlequin, then moderate cerulean, and finally moderate purple colour. Forming a rainbow, with her coat is a pale, light greyish cerulean colour, with her wings flapping to keep her in the air, her cutie mark being a white cloud shooting out blue on the left, yellow in the middle and red on the right. "Alright, Squirt. You have been getting better at less you stayed up longer than ten seconds." The brightly colourful mare said, Scootaloo began bouncing on the spot. "Really Rainbow Dash?!" Scootaloo question, hopping in the air, her tiny wings flapping in excitement, causing The Element of Loyalty to chuckle. "You bet Squirt, you'll be flying in no time." Rainbow Dash said, messing Scootaloo mane up with her right front hoof. Scootaloo jumped in fright, hearing the loud ticking of Ponyville's clock tower, letting everypony know it's about to turn eight O' clock. Scootaloo let out a quick yell, grabbing her blue helmet and jumping on her small scooter, yelling something about being late for school. The young pegasus filly raced off, Rainbow blinked. The pegasus mare gave a smirk, before she shot up into the blue sky. Swimming in the open sky, her moderate cerise colour eyes search the ground. She gave a smirk, seeing a male dragon with a paper bag on his right arm, Rainbow dive bomb right in front of Spike causing the tall male dragon to step back in shock. "AH, Rainbow Dash, what the heck?" Spike yelled out his question The Element of Loyalty, flip her rainbow mane out of her eyes, sticking out her tongue toward the tall male dragon, who glare down at her. Spike a eye roll, he walked past the pegasus mare, Rainbow began to flap her wings to fly next to him. "What's up doc?" Rainbow said, Spike shook his head. "Shopping my dear, I need to get ready for our little get together this afternoon." Spike said, Rainbow looked away for a bit. "Huh, that is today. Shoot, I completely forgot, I knew that we would hang out when I woke up this morning, but once I exit my house, I completely blanked out." Rainbow said, getting off a cheap grin. Spike gave off a slow clap, Rainbow lower her head, facing away from the male dragon. She had a embarrassing red blush on her cheeks, Rainbow gave Spike's arm a hard punch. "So, Dashie, what are you up to?" Spike asked, Rainbow let out a soft sigh. Rainbow had always regretted telling her friends about the nickname that her parent gave her, Rainbow just thought it would be easier if she just told her friends before Rainbow parent started to embarrass her again, Pinkie Pie started calling her Dashie, which Rainbow just roll her eyes at, The Element of Loyalty knew it would happen. Then when Spike hit his growth spurt, causing Rainbow to start thinking that he turns into a hunk. Until he started calling her 'Dashie' making her cheeks heat up and Rainbow would always turn her head and call him an idiot or something, trying to hide her blush from the male dragon, who would chuckle at how he would embarrass her, soon causing Rainbow to punch and hurt him. Which always surprised Spike, since he learns from his Dragoness friend; Ember, that a Dragon scales are one of the hardest material in Equestria, meaning only a dragon can hurt another dragon. Meaning that Rainbow Dash's punches are hard enough to hurt Spike, which she started to take pride in, puffing out her chest out in victory. Normally cheering out her own name, while waving her two front hooves up in the air. Saying something about being the most awesome pony in Equestria, causing her friends to rub their heads in annoyance at Rainbow Dash's behaviour. Rainbow gave a smirk, deciding to stop for her friends. Well she just began to rub it in Spike's face only, which he just ignored or just made fun of her. Rainbow would flare up whenever Spike won something when the two of them had a competition between each other. Spike would always laugh and say that he found her cute whenever Rainbow is anger or upset about something. Rainbow would give a pout, muttering under her breath, something to do with destroying the male dragon. Spike would always back away in fear, Rainbow would let out a laugh at him. Racing over to tackle him to the ground, with her nose would touch Spike's face. Rainbow shook her head, causing Spike to look at The Element of Loyalty, the two of them were nearing The Castle of Friendship. "Is something wrong Dashie?" Spike asked, Rainbow let out a yell. "Yes, no, maybe. I don't know, I'll guess I'll see you where we always meet on our Friday afternoons." Rainbow said, Spike smile. "Later Dashie." Spike said, giving a wave to The Element of Loyalty, before the male dragon enter The Castle of Friendship. Rainbow Dash shot up into the air, kicking away any stray clouds that hover over the rustic town of Ponyville. Seeing the fillies and colts down at the Ponyville schoolhouse, outside playing, Rainbow smiled seeing Scootaloo talking to Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom about how her flying was going. Rainbow gave a slightly smiled seeing Scootaloo blushing once Sweetie Belle wrapped her hooves around the pegasus filly. Rainbow gave a flip, resting on the cloud, her eyes began to rest getting comfortable on the white cloud floating in the air. When the afternoon finally arrived, Rainbow shot awake, letting out a loud scream. She looked quickly to the left and right, she flew off the cloud and towards the open field. The Element of Loyalty landed, she saw Spike resting against a tree truck. The male dragon looked up to the pegasus mare, Rainbow knew that she was late, the pegasus mare let out a chuckle while rubbing the back of her neck. "Alright Spike, you're ready for this! It time for flying, and for me to get even." Rainbow said, muttering with at the end. "Is some pony upset because I defeated her in a race last week?" Spike asked, wearing a cheapest grin on his face, Rainbow growl at him. "Yeah, yeah, suck it up. It won't happen again wise guy, I'm Equestria best flyer, you're just lucky." Rainbow said, before she stuck out her tongue. Spike roll his eyes at the pegasus mare, Spike put his claws on his hips. The male dragon and Element of Loyalty glare each other down, Rainbow made a raspberry, causing Spike to start laughing. Rainbow got ready, Spike stretch out his wings. Rainbow gave him a wink and blew a kiss towards the male dragon, causing Spike to fall to the ground in surprise, a bright pink blush on his cheeks. Rainbow shot up in the air, Spike shook his head and followed after The Element of Loyalty blazing through the open sky, with the orange sunset and the rising moon. Spike caught up with the colourful pegasus mare, who was on her back, lazily flapping her wings, her two front hooves resting under her head. Spike glare at Rainbow, she let out a yawn, The Element of Loyalty let out a cry, her fly got wobbling and making her spin around in circles. Rainbow began to speed up, a rainbow trail following behind her, The Element of Loyalty glare behind her seeing the male dragon trying to catch up with the colourful pegasus mare. Rainbow gave a cocky smirk, knowing that she going to win, she could see the edge of Ponyville, marking the end of their little race. Spike flew in front of Rainbow Dash giving her a wave with his left claw. "Looking beautiful like always Dashie." Spike said, causing Rainbow's cheeks to heat up in a blush. "Shut your mouth, Spikey Wikey." Rainbow said, using the pet nickname that Rarity call him when he was a baby dragon. Spike's teeth clench together, shooting ahead of The Element of Loyalty, Rainbow gave a smirk, her wings flapping faster. The male dragon and colour pegasus mare both neck and neck with each other, both of them glare each other down, getting the large ark of the gate with the name of the town crave on the wood. Rainbow stomp her hoof in rage, Spike didn't seem to care much about it. Folding his arms, Rainbow looked over at the male dragon who gave her a smirk. "I guess it a tie." Spike said, Rainbow glare the male dragon down. "Tie? TIE!" Rainbow Dash cried out in rage. "I don't do tie, I either win or win. No if, and's or but's about it." Rainbow said, Spike gave an eye roll. "Then another re-match next week?" Spike asked, causing Rainbow to fake a laugh. "Please, tomorrow afternoon, twelve O' Clock. Meet me at my house on the dot, better not be late and show up or less your chicken." Rainbow said, Spike glare at her. "You have lovely eyes." Spike said, The Element of Loyalty pushed the male dragon away from her. "Save the sweat talk for later, catch ya later Spike." Rainbow said, giving a quick kiss on his lips before shooting up in the air. The next morning a loud knocking at her door, caused Rainbow to wake up far too early for her taste, The Element of Loyalty tiredly looked at the clock on the wall it readied eleven-thirty in the morning. Rainbow open the door, letting a cry of shock and horror. Rainbow Dash's mother, Windy Whistles tackled her daughter in a large hug. The elder pegasus mare had a light scarlet and orange colour mane, her coat is a pale, light greyish cornflower blue colour with her eye colour is a moderate cerise. Rainbow right eye between to twitch. Rainbow Dash's father, Bow Hothoof gave his daughter a large goofy smile, messing up The Element of Loyalty's rainbow colour mane. Bow Hothoof had a short and badly cut colourful mane, with a mix of different colours, like his daughter. A brilliant amaranth, then brilliant vermilion, then pale, light greyish olive, then moderate harlequin, then moderate cerulean and finally moderate purple. His coat is a pale, light greyish blue colour while is eye colour is a moderate amber. "Mom! Dad! What the heck are you two doing here?" Rainbow asked, completely surprise at her parents visit. "Well, you invited us dear." Windy Whistles said, with a small smile, Rainbow fell on the ground. Rainbow shook her head, bolting back up to her hooves. Panic filled her eyes, knowing of a male dragon that she likes to flirt with and he flirts with her back about to come over. Rainbow began to try and push Windy and Bow Hothoof out her door. "Sorry, but it's a bad time today. I got umm," Rainbow began to quickly look around the room for anything to use. "Cleaning and weather duties. Yeah, that what I need to do, I need to clean the clouds and weather up my house." Rainbow said in a panic. Rainbow paused, thinking over what she said. "Wait, that makes no sense." She said to herself in a mutter. "Nonsense Dashie, we checked and you got nothing on today." Windy said, pulling her daughter into a hug. "Great." Rainbow said with an eye roll. "But, it would be nice to see you with a boyfriend already Dashie. I'll like to have grand fouls sooner than later." Windy said, Rainbow cheeks heated up in a bright red blush of pure embarrassment. "MOM!" Rainbow cried out. The Element of Loyalty lower her head, even in her own house, she was afraid of some pony overhearing her embarrassing parents. Another series of knocks at her door, Spike open the door looking over Rainbow Dash who wore a deadpan expression on her face, while Windy Whistles let out a gasp. "Dashie, honey we were you going to tell us you found a boyfriend!" Windy cried out, causing Spike to step back in shock. "Wait, hold up." Spike began, Rainbow flew over to him, taking his arm with her two front hooves. "That's right, boyfriend. His name is Spike!" She said, giving a smile. "And we made a date, because I completely forgot you two were coming over." Rainbow said, her deadpan expression told the tales of boredom. "That's great Dashie." Bow Hothoof said, looking at a nervous Spike, who had no idea what was going on. Windy clap her hooves together, with a small smile on her lips. "I know, how about a double date, you and Spike with Bow and I." Windy said, Rainbow turn to Spike who shared her horror expression. "What." The Element of Loyalty said, in a bland tone of voice. "It'll be fun." Windy said, dragging the male dragon and Element of Loyalty out the door. Divine Rest Diner; Rainbow Dash held her head with her right front hoof. She couldn't believe she was on a date with Spike alongside with her parents. The Element of Loyalty couldn't believe her luck at the current moment, she was planning on asking Spike out. Well it was more of how she would ask him out. Knowing it has to be awesome and nothing to girly or making her look like a hopeless romantic. Even if she found stories like that fun to read, knowing that those kinds of stories are her guilty pleasure. But still, a double date with her parents, Rainbow tried to hide her face away with her wings. Rainbow wanted to sink under the table, Bow Hothoof, Windy Whistles and Spike was getting along, the worst part was after their double date her parents began to tell embarrassing stories about The Element of Loyalty, Rainbow's cheeks heat up in a blush, crying out to her mother. Windy would give a cheap grin towards her daughter. Rainbow would rub her forehead with her left front hoof, giving off a cold glare towards Windy and Bow Hothoof. Windy Whistles gave her daughter a wet kiss on Rainbow's cheeks, The Element of Loyalty saw Spike laughing in his claw, soon shutting up with Rainbow's death glare shooting straight at the male dragon. Rainbow's parents finally left and the colourful pegasus mare crash to the ground, letting out a cry of defeat. Spike gave her a pat with his right claw, Rainbow looked up at him, Spike quickly pull his claw away in fear of the angry colourful pegasus mare. "Sorry about your parents Dashie." Spike said, Rainbow let out a sigh. "It's fine. They my parents and I love them, but sometimes they just too much. To be fair, they have begun to cheer Scootaloo on, it makes Squirt happy. So, I guess that they are doing something right." Rainbow said, giving off a soft smile. "If it makes you feel better, that was a nice date and I'll like to have another one with you one day." Spike said, Rainbow turn to look at the male dragon. "Are you asking me out?" The Element of Loyalty asked, Spike gave a nervous smile. "I guess I am." He said, Rainbow tackled him to the ground, pressing her lips against his. Rainbow quickly broke the kiss that she shared with the male dragon. Spike wore a goofy smile on his lips, Rainbow headbutt him on his side. "See ya next week, for our little dates." Rainbow said, adding a wink, causing Spike's to blush and Rainbow to laugh at his reaction. "Later Dashie." Spike said, giving her a quick kiss before leaving her house. Rainbow flew over to her bed, lying on her back, letting out a loud cry of happiness, picking up a Daring Do book that lay on the bedside table while Tank slept by her back hooves, while Rainbow Dash readied the newest book.
