The final hours of the Grand Galloping Gala were closing by, the golden bells rang, the dance floor was empty and bare, ponies and creatures all across Equestria were tired from the long night of dancing and fun. Yet, there was still the band ready to play for any couple wishing to spend this night together with the special someone.
For tonight, was the night. That a growing dragon would share a dance with the mare that he loves. His body was still growing he was now the same height as a teenage pony, his scales were smooth and a soft glow of a light purple that shines in the pale moonlight came from the windows. His spikes on his head were growing longer and sharper, he kept pulling on his red bow tie. Wearing a white collar t-shirt and over that t-shirt was a blazing blue tux with gold cuffs.
Yet, for young Spike The Dragon. He sat alone, waiting for the special moment for her to come. She looked amazing in the dress, it was like something out of a dream coming true. But, he always chocking on his words, couldn't say how he felt towards her. She is beauty within itself, yet, when colts ask for her hoof in a dance. She would always regret them.
With her mane tied up in a bun, the swirls of purple and pink with gold earrings and beans in her mane. A long dark purple dress that reaches down and gently brushes the dance floor of The Grand Gala, soft stars around the tail end of her dress. That bright smile, those luring emerald green eyes that Spike would get lost in.
The mare that he loves since he first came to Ponyville, Sweetie Belle.
She was so close. Yet, so far. Spike couldn't work up the courage to ask her out, any time he tried to ask her. He would just turn into a repeating idiot, repeating everything that he said, finding something else to look at rather then her eyes, since he knew if the male dragon gaze into those soft emerald colour eyes, he would never stop.
Sweetie Belle looked over towards the male dragon, he sat alone having regretting any mare or dragon that tried to ask him for a dance. Just like him, Sweetie Belle loved him, she would blush and look towards the ground. Stuttering and mixing up her words, trying to get him to notice her. Try to start something with the one that she loves.
Spike let out a deep breath, the dance floor was empty, almost everyone has gone home beside the stray few. A stray piece of tumbleweed could roll in the wind here to show how empty this place was. The one night to show Sweetie Belle that he loves her, share a dance and see what happens in the future.
Her table wasn't far, she was with the rest of The Cutie Mark Crusaders. Spike stood in front of them, he gave a grin, his gaze looked at Sweetie Belle. She somehow looking even more gorgeous in the moonlight, she gave a slight smile. He gave a small bow, holding out his claw for her.
"May I have this final dance?" He asked, his head lifted up.
His forest green eyes met her emerald green eyes. For a moment there, the world seemed to stop spinning for them. Her gentle and caring smile grace her lips.
"I would love to have this dance." Sweetie Belle answered, her hoof brushing against his claw.
For a moment, he felt her soft snow-white fur brushing against his hard scales and sharp claws. The two of them enter the center of the dance floor, the pair of lovers bowing to each other, a light blush appearing on their cheeks, the moment each of them waited for in this long night of passion.
Spike grabs her front right hoof pulling her closer to his warm body. Her head brushes against his neck, his free claw around her neck and the flow and moves with the music. Sweetie Belle felt like she was floating in the air, spinning around in the spotlight that shines upon them.
The moment she has been waiting for was finally here. She was dancing with the one that she has been in love with when she first met him. Memories of moments that the two of them shared, the first moment where the two of them met. He saw her beauty, the way she smiled towards him. The moment where the two had a date at Sugar Cube Corner, the pair would say it wasn't a date.
She felt wonderful in his claws, she looked up to him, Spike was just a little bit taller than she was. Their eyes meeting in gaze, she gave him a smile. He held her closer to his body, her lips looked soft and red, he wanted to press and shared a kiss with her. He had a yearning to share a kiss with her.
"Spike." Sweetie Belle softly said
"Sweetie Belle," Spike replied to her.
Their dance had ended, the band has packed away, the two stood in the middle of the dance floor. It seems like every pony eyes were on them, with how little there were left in the Grand Galloping Gala dance hall.
"I love you. I want to be with you." Spike said
The pair was rather close to each other, they still hadn't broken apart since the dance the two had shared with each other.
"I love you too... I was to shy to say anything before." Sweetie Belle softly spoke
She moved her head away, her lovely stare was now facing the cold hard dance floor. Spike bought her chin up, their emerald and forest green eyes staring lovingly into each other. He bought her into a kiss, they closed their eyes, she wrapped her hooves around him, pulling him deeper into the kiss that the two of them shared.
A pair of Alicorn watched, Princess Celestia, let out a soft cough, holding out her hoof towards her sister. Princess Luna let out an annoyed groan. Handing her older sister a couple of bits for the solar Princess winning the bet the two of them made.
