Rarity was drying herself off as fast as she could, she needed to go and speak to Spike. After drying herself, she threw the towel on the floor and rushed to the mirror. She applied her makeup quickly but made sure it still looked perfect. Then she burst through the door of the Carousel Boutique and sprinted through streets on Ponyville towards the castle.
Spike was walking trying to clear his head to no avail.
“Ugh! This usually works! I can't get this out of my head”. Deep down Spike knew that he'll keep thinking about it until he talks to someone about it.
“Who can I talk to? I don't want to tell any of my friends yet. I know I'll have to tell them eventually just... not yet”. Spike continued to walk, giving in to the thought, hoping it would pass at some point.
Running as fast as her legs would take her, Rarity finally reached the doors of the castle. She stood there catching her breath, before going in, but as her hoof touched the castle door, it didn't feel right just walking in, even though she knew it was perfectly alright for her to do so. After a second thought, Rarity decided to knock. It took about a minute for Twilight to come to the door.
“Oh! Hi Rarity! You know you don't have to knock”. Twilight smiled. Twilight's kindness confused Rarity, she thought for sure that Twilight would be angry with her.
“Sorry Twilight, I wanted to come over and apologise to Spike”. Twilight looked confused.
“Apologise for what?”
“For hurting him last night”. Now Twilight was more confused and concerned
“You what!?”. Rarity slightly jumped back from Twilight's sudden outburst.
“You mean... you don't know?” Rarity asked with worry in her voice.
“Know what, Rarity? What happened!?”. Twilight looked angry and concerned.
'What have I done?' thought Rarity. At first, Rarity didn't say anything she was too scared.
“Rarity! What...happened?”. Rarity knew she wasn't getting out of this one. Rarity took a deep breath.
“I was only dating Spike to show him what an actual relationship entails and to show him there is a difference between love and having a crush. Then I found out that he had feelings for me, so I had to end it as I couldn't have an actual relationship with him”. Twilight stood there in complete shock, unable to say anything.
“I was only trying to help him”. Rarity said quietly trying to get a response out of Twilight even though she was scared of what it might be.
Twilight just stood there not moving or responding.
“Twilight---”.
“You stupid mare!!”. Twilight yelled. Rarity jumped back.
“Twilight please---” Rarity started to plead.
“No! I don't want to hear it! You have NO excuse for toying with Spike's affections like that!”. Twilight was so angry her face had gone red. After a second or two, Twilight became aware of her anger, took a deep breath and exhaled.
“I think you should go”. Twilight said calmly. Rarity, with tears in her eyes, just nodded and left, as she was unable to say anything. Rarity heard the castle doors shut behind her as she was walking away.
'I need to find Spike?'. Rarity thought.
I need to talk to him. She then rushed towards the town to try and find the purple dragon.
