Sorry Spike” Apple Bloom said as she got tissues and wiped the extra amounts surrounding his cut. “Oh stop being such a crybaby! I’d expect a dragon to be used to getting burned a bit, since they breath fire and all” Scootaloo said as she put a Band-Aid on Spike’s cut. “Scootaloo stop being so insensitive! Spike has feelings you know” Sweetie Belle said as she flashed a smile at Spike, as he returned one to her. “Alright ya’ll enough chattin! Check to see if we got our cutie marks!” Apple Bloom said as the three checked for them, getting a shriek from Sweetie Belle. “Look guys I got my cutie mark! Its a Band-Aid!” Sweetie Belle said as she showed it off, when suddenly Scootaloo ripped it off. “OW!” Sweetie Belle said as she rubbed her rump, making the other two crusaders laugh. “Guess who’s the dodo now!” Scootaloo said to Apple Bloom as they continued to laugh and roll on the floor. “Whatever you guys” Sweetie Belle said as her stomach started to grumble. “Uh Sweetie Belle, was that you?” Spike asked as he walked towards her, making her blush in embarrassment. “Um ye-” Sweetie Belle was about to finish when Apple Bloom suddenly interrupted. “No Spike that was uh me! Yeah I can get real hungry sometimes, and that last crusade we did sure has made me work up an appetite, lets go get somethin’ ta eat!” Apple Bloom said as she winked at Sweetie Belle. “Yeah I can go for something to eat, lets go” Scootaloo said as she put on her helmet. “Alright I’m in, but where?” Spike asked as they began to climb down from their headquarters. “How about SugarCube Corner?” Sweetie Belle said, getting ‘yeahs’ from the other three. “Yeah, good thinking Sweetie Belle!” Spike said as Sweetie Belle’s cheeks began to burn. “Alright Spike, you hold onto my back, Sweetie and Apple Bloom, you guys get on the wagon” Scootaloo said as they all got themselves comfortable. “Alright, lets go!” Scootaloo said as they began to drive off. While they were going to SugarCube Corner, Apple Bloom decided to talk to Sweetie Belle. “Sweetie Belle, ya like Spike don’tcha?” Apple Bloom asked her when they began to approach town. “Shh no I don’t!” Sweetie Belle said quickly as she put a hoof over the southern filly’s mouth. “Yeah ya do! I see how you look at him, and blush when he compliments you, and remember you were so happy when you danced with him at the weddin!” Apple Bloom whispered as she moved her hoof from her mouth and glared at her. “Ok alright Ms. Detective! I like him you’re right, but I don’t think he likes me all that much. I mean maybe he likes you, or Scootaloo, or even worse..my sister!” Sweetie Belle told Apple Bloom as she began to daydream about Spike being some prince in armor, and Rarity being a princess in despair and right when they were about to kiss, she stopped daydreaming and shivered. “Sweetie Belle, just talk to him when we get to SugarCube Corner alright? Ahm sure he’ll take a likin’ to ya” Apple Bloom said smiling as she and Sweetie Belle hugged. “Eww cut that out you two! We’re here” Scootaloo said as the two broke off, and got out the wagon. “Alright finally! I’m starving” Spike said as they all went inside the store and sat on the seats in front of the counter, Sweetie Belle sitting next to Spike. Soon Pinkie Pie came bursting out of the back, and smiled when she saw the Crusaders. “Hey guys hows it going? I was wondering when you’d be coming back here for a snack or.... two” Pinkie Pie said when she noticed Spike, then she frowned. “Well if it isn’t ‘dragon that embarresseses my best friend Twilight’!” Pinkie Pie said frowning. “I know Pinkie Pie, and I’m sorry I swear” Spike said as he looked down ashamed, making Pinkie feel bad. “You Pinkie Promise you are, and will never do it again?” Pinkie asked Spike with a friendly smile on her face. “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye” Spike said, making Pinkie Pie beam with happiness. “You’re forgiven from me Spike” Pinkie said smiling as they hugged, as Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom smiled, only to get a gag from Scootaloo. “BOOO! Ew Celestia what is this, a love fest or something? I came for a snack, not some love fest!” Scootaloo complained. “Oh snap I’m sorry!” Pinkie said as she got into waiter mode. “So what would you like?” Pinkie asked them kindly. “I would like a Rainbow Cupcake and Berry Punch” Scootaloo said making Berry Punch look up from her seat with Derpy and Doctor Whooves. “I meant the drink!” Scootaloo said resulting in her friends laughing and Berry Punch smiling and rolling her eyes, making her two companions laugh. “I’d like a Apple Cupcake, and Apple Juice!” Apple Bloom said as Sweetie Belle asked for the same thing. “ I’d just like a Diamond Cupcake, extra sprinkles!” Spike said as Pinkie Pie nodded her head and went to complete their orders. As Pinkie left the room, Sweetie Belle began to make her move on Spike. “So um Spike, you got any crushes by any chance?” Sweetie Belle asked sweetly, making Apple Bloom face hoof herself. “Oh yeah actually I do!” Spike said making Sweetie Belle smile brightly. “Well who is it?” Sweetie Belle asked. “Well she’s white, got a beautiful mane, can sing, and is very considerate to her friends” Spike said as Sweetie Belle’s smile grew bigger. “ Well Spike I’m so flattered that you like-” Sweetie Belle said when Spike interrupted her. “And her name is Rarity” Spike said as his eyes drooped down and he smiled, while Sweetie Belle’s jaw dropped in shock. “You’re in love with my SISTER?” Sweetie Belle asked him frantically hoping he was lying. “Yeah, even though she’s mad at me, I still love her” Spike said as Sweetie Belle’s heart began to shatter and eyes water. “I’m being sarcastic” Spike said as Sweetie Belle sniffled and sighed. “ Well if thats the case Spike, I was wondering after this if you want you would like to come with me to my favorite spot in the park to watch Celestia lower the sun” Sweetie Belle asked nervously as she looked away. “Well if you’re asking me to watch the sunset with you, then sure I don’t see why not. I’m pretty sure Twilight wouldn’t care” Spike said as Pinkie Pie brought their treats. As Sweetie Belle ate her treat and drink, she couldn’t help but imagine how romantic it would be when her and Spike go to her ‘special spot’ and watch the sunset. The thought had constantly brought a huge smile to her face, which Apple Bloom saw, thus making her smile as well. “Well I’m done!” Scootaloo said as she began to get down from her seat. “Me too” Spike said as he got down too. “Eeyup!” Apple Bloom said as she and Sweetie Belle followed suit. “Hey what about my bits?” Pinkie Pie said calling, when Derpy came behind her. “Don’t worry about it Pinkie, We’ll cover it!” Derpy said smiling as she paid it. “Thank you Derpy, I’ll be sure to tell your boss to give you a higher raise for this!” Pinkie said as Derpy and her friends left. “Alright guys ready for some more crusading?” Scootaloo asked as she put on her helmet. “Sorry Scootaloo, maybe tomorrow because me and Spike are gonna go watch the sunset!” Sweetie Belle said smiling as they waved bye and left for their ‘romantic’ evening. “Yeah Scoots, and ahm tired as hay, mind droppin me off to ma' place?” Apple Bloom asked Scootaloo as Apple Bloom winked getting a nod from the orange filly, as the two began to get on Scootaloo's scooter and speed off 'home'. As Sweetie Belle and Spike were on their way to the park, other ponies smiled and gave the two some space to walk. “Aw look at those two Big Mac, Spike and Sweetie Belle are so cute together!” Cheerilee said smiling as Big Mac agreed with an low ‘eeyup’ as he stared down Spike. “Alright Spike, we’re almost there just keep following me” Sweetie Belle said as they walked through the park. “There it is! Over there” Sweetie pointed out to him a hill with a small tree near it. As they walked to it and began to sit under it, the two noticed the sun beginning to lower. “Sweetie Belle this is wonderful, I’m glad you brought me here this is great!” Spike said as he smiled at her “Oh you’re welcome Spike! I’m glad you like it” Sweetie Belle said as heat began to build in her cheeks. Suddenly Spike got up and walked to a nearby water faucet to clean ‘something’ Sweetie Belle couldn’t quite see. He soon came back and sat down closer to her. “Sweetie Belle...” Spike called nervously. “Yes Spike?” Sweetie Belle asked, giving him her cutest smile. “ I uh made this for you” Spike said as he presented her a large diamond made into a necklace, with an encrusted ‘S+S equals heart sign’ on it. “Oh Spike!” Sweetie Belle said as she hugged him tight, and allowed him to put it around her. “Ever since the wedding I had a crush on you, the grace you had when dancing, the way you smiled it made me attracted to you. You're so smart, and nice, and friendly! I always thought Rarity was the perfect one, and never seemed to realize the real perfect one right in front of me. I may mess up sometimes, but I know I won't with you Sweetie, I love you” Spike said as Sweetie Belle smiled tearfully at him. “Oh my goodness Spike, I love you too” Sweetie Belle said as she smiled brightly. Sweetie Belle felt great! Her crush Spike had seemed to love her too. It was as if Celestia was making the dimming sun shine the last of its rays on them, she felt wonderful. So as she leaned in to kiss him, the sun seemed to be completely blocked. So when she opened her eyes she noticed four ponies standing behind her, making her and Spike blush. "Hey Rainbow, Applejack, Scoots, Apple Bloom! Hehe what're you guys doing here?" Sweetie Belle asked nervously as they all exchanged glances. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors Note: Whoah I feel bad for Sweetie Belle, she just got caught!
