At first we weren’t sure if you dating Spike would be a good idea, especially after his little stint at the weddin’" Applejack said as she shot Spike a glare. “So Applebloom led us back to Ponyville, and we saw you two going towards the park, so we followed you two here and saw how much you two liked each other!” Rainbow Dash said smirking and winking at Spike, making him smile nervously. “So me and Rainbow forgive you, and think you two are cute together” Applejack said as she hugged the two young lovers, making Rainbow Dash look at her friend in disbelief. “I didn’t say all that A.J! I said they make a ‘cool’ couple, not cute” Rainbow said as they all laughed, except Scootaloo. “Wait a second!” Sweetie Belle told them as they all stopped laughing. “What’s the problem?” Apple Bloom asked her friend. “My sister’s the problem! How are we gonna tell her this?” Sweetie Belle asked as Applejack and Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened. “Oh HAY no! We are NOT tellin’ Rarity anythin’ ya hear! If she finds out you’re datin’ Spike, and we’re allowing it, she’s gonna make us into her new fashion designs!” Applejack told Sweetie Belle as Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement. “Alright, so just don’t tell her, ok I can live with that” Spike said as he helped Sweetie Belle get up. “Though what if she finds out?” Sweetie Belle asked. “Just make something up, say you’re just toying with her or something” Rainbow Dash told them as they began to trot to Sugarcube Corner. Little did they know, Scootaloo had sneaked away and ran to Rarity’s Boutique. “Forgive me Rainbow Dash” Scootaloo said to herself quietly as she ran past Derpy and Doctor Whooves (who happened to be arguing) and stopped in front of the store. As she walked in the door, she noticed Rarity was sewing a dress together. When she saw Scootaloo, she finished sewing the dress and used her magic to put it up. “Why hello Scootaloo, where’s Sweetie Belle?” Rarity asked as she walked up to the purple maned filly. “Thats the thing! She’s with Spike because they’re dating now and are plotting a way to keep it secret. I’m not lying I swear to Celestia, I’m only telling you because if she dates Spike, then she’ll stop hanging with me and Apple Bloom, and then we can’t be the Cutie Mark Crusaders anymore!” Scootaloo said panting when Twilight came out of the bathroom. “So you’re saying my Spike is dating Sweetie Belle, and is coming here acting like they’re not?” Twilight said as she stood next to Rarity. “Yes!” Scootaloo said frantically as Twilight got her a drink, and patted Scootaloo on the head. “Thank you for telling us this, we’ll handle things from here, you go hide in the bathroom” Twilight said as Scootaloo began to leave. “Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Apple Bloom are there too” Scootaloo said to them as she left to hide. “I can’t believe Spike would do this, make poor Sweetie Belle date him so he could have a part of you with him” Twilight said angrily as Rarity nuzzled her. “Don’t worry Twilight, I got a plan!” Rarity said as she whispered into her ear the plan for when they arrive. “Oh so evil, but then again so smart!” Twilight snickered as she went to hide in Rarity’s room, while Rarity put on her glasses and began to knit. Meanwhile back to Spike and Sweetie Belle.... “Oh Lordy Spike you’re killing me!” Applejack laughed as Spike made another ‘Twilight being an egghead’ joke as they made it to the boutique after eating some snacks. Applejack knocked on the door, as Rarity opened the door with green magic as they all walked in. “Why hello there you guys, hi Spike” Rarity said through gritted teeth as Spike waved nervously. “We came to drop these two off Rarity, we’ll be on our way now” Applejack said when Rarity used magic to lock the door. “Hey what gives?” Rainbow Dash asked as Rarity smiled wickedly. “Did you guys really think I wouldn’t find out your little secret?” Rarity asked them as she looked at Sweetie Belle, who began to laugh nervously. “S-S-Secret? What secret sis, there’s no secret here” Sweetie Belle said as she began to shake out of fear. “No secret, then what’s all this I’m hearing about you and Spike DATING” Rarity asked her little sister angrily. “WHAT! ME AND SPIKE AREN’T DATING!” Sweetie Belle yelled as she began to feel sick inside her stomach. “LIES! Scootaloo told me the WHOLE thing, and I’ll be a Griffin’s mother if I’m wrong, am I right Applejack?” Rarity asked the orange mare angrily, as she bowed her head in shame. “You’re right” Applejack said sadly as Sweetie Belle saw Scootaloo come out the bathroom, and look at her with hurt eyes. “AHA, I knew it! Now you’re punishment will be severe for lying, and dating without my consent” Rarity said with a smirk. “You too Spike!” Twilight said as she came down the stairs and gave Spike a death glare. “No Crusading for a month, and NO DATING until you’re old enough!” Rarity said angrily as Sweetie looked at her sister with teary eyes. “What? That’s not fair, I’m old enough to date! You can’t do this to me, you’re not my mom you’re my sister!” Sweetie Belle said as tears streamed down her face. “My home, my rules” Rarity said smiling coldly as Sweetie Belle broke down in tears. “You’re the worst sister ALIVE! I HATE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!” Sweetie Belle wailed angrily as she ran up to her room. “Alright everypony you can leave now, shows over” Rarity said as they all began to leave. “Rainbow Dash, take Scootaloo and Spike home please?” Rarity asked as Rainbow Dash agreed silently as they all left, leaving a pleased Rarity and worried Twilight. “Gosh Rarity wasn’t that a little more harsher than we planned?” Twilight asked Rarity as she poured herself some cider. “No that was even better, now stop judging me Twilight” Rarity said as she began to drink the cider down. “Alright... well mind letting me have some?” Twilight asked as Rarity began pouring her a glass, with a green glow from her eye quickly flashing on the drink. Meanwhile to Sweetie Belle.... “*sniff* *sniff* Stupid sister I hate her!” Sweetie Belle said as she threw her pilow at the door and screamed in a fit of rage. “Is that any way to act my love?” Spike asked making Sweetie Belle jump in shock. “Spike?” Sweetie Belle asked as she turned around, as the purple dragon smiled and held his arms out. “Spike!” Sweetie Belle called as she hugged him tight and cried. “Shh Sweetie, or we’ll get caught” Spike told her gently as her crying slowed down. “H-How did you get here?” Sweetie Belle asked him as he smiled and sat her down on the bed. “Rainbow Dash flew me here of course. Scootaloo explained to us why she told on us, she thought the Cutie Mark Crusaders might end, so I assured her you wouldn’t let that happen” Spike said as Sweetie Belle gave him a quick peck on the lips, making him blush hard. “Oh Spike you’re such a gentle...dragon?” she told him as she laughed, making him laugh too. Suddenly Spike stopped laughing and became serious, catching his lover’s attention. “Something wrong Spike?” Sweetie Belle asked him curiously. “No, well yeah actually. Sweetie Belle I know how we can get out of this dilemma” Spike said as he took Sweetie Belle’s hoof into his claws. “How Spike, my evil sister grounded me, and Twilight grounded you remember?” Sweetie Belle said as she sighed. “I know that, but I got us two tickets to Canterlot! We can write a fake letter to Princess Celestia telling her we’re coming to live there, then we really go to Twilight's mom’s house!” Spike said smiling. “I dunno Spike, we can’t just write a letter to Celestia like that, she’ll banish us or send us to some dungeon” Sweetie Belle told him nervously. “No she won’t, or she would’ve done it to Pinkie Pie for making me send those empty scrolls. Just trust me Sweetie, I promise things won’t go bad, and I’ll take care of you I pinkie promise!” Spike told her as he did the oath, making her laugh. “Alright Spikey-Wiky, count me in” Sweetie Belle said as she kissed him again. Dear Princess Celestia, This is Spike, Twilight’s faithful assistant. I am writing to you so you may be aware that I am coming to visit you in Canterlot for an “important meeting” along with my companion, Sweetie Belle. I hope you will have time to speak with us, and a room for us to sleep in, if you do not mind. We cannot wait to see you and Luna again!                                                                                                                                                                                           From,                                                                                                                                           Spike “There that should do it” Sweetie Belle said as Spike sent the letter to Celestia. “We should get going, the train leaves in fifteen minutes!” Spike said as Sweetie Belle got her bookbag and packed some minor things she would need in it. “Alright Spike, lets go!” Sweetie Belle said as the two used the filly’s bedsheets to climb down and run off. “Bye evil sister” Sweetie Belle said quietly to herself as they continued to run into the night, with the Train Station in sight. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author’s Note: Uh oh trouble’s a brewin’ on the horizon folks!
