“Oh yeah, right there just behind the ear.” Spike said while laying down on the lap of someone that is similar to the one he has a crush on.
“Anything for you Spike.” Rarity continued to rub his ear.
This happened when the group got out of the mall and planned to go to the Canterlot High night carnival. Before entering their vehicles, Princess Twilight forgot that Spike was in her bag since dogs weren’t allowed inside the mall.
(GASP!) “Finally I can breathe. I thought you forgot about me.” Spike popped his head out after Twilight opened the zipper to her bag.
“Hi Spike!” The Rainbooms and the boys greeted him.
“Hi-” Spike replies and turns his attention to... “-Ayayayay…ha-ha-hi Rarity.”
“Same to you Spike.” The fashionista greeted him.
Twilight, Spike and Flash Sentry will go with Rarity in Ardee’'s SUV. Sunset and Sci-Twi will ride in their boyfriend's motorcycle and ATV. The rest will Ride in Pinkie in Frostbite’s van. While on the way to the night carnival, Spike enjoys what Rarity is doing to him with the presence of someone taking quick glances at the dog while on the wheel.
“He sure is clingy to her.” Ardee said while focusing on his driving.
“I mean he does have a crush on Rarity,” Twilight said. “B-But not this world’s Rarity, the one back from Equestria is what I meant.”
“Oh yeah, right there.” Spike enjoyed getting his back rubbed.
The car was slowly put to a halt as the passengers asked why. Instead of words, Ardee grabbed Spike from Rarity’s lap and placed him on Twilight’s instead.
“Hey! What was that for?” Spike said.
“If you think I’m going to let you cuddle with my Rarity,” Ardee said. “Think again. You already have yours back in Equestria, go to her, don't hog mine.”
“What do you mean your Rarity?”
“I’m her boyfriend, her special someone if that rings a bell?”
“You’re just being selfish. Besides, she's not your property.”
“Now you listen to me you tiny pooch…”
“Enough!” Rarity stopped the argument of the two and gestured to Spike to come to her which he did. “I mean there is nothing wrong with me pampering Spike, he is just adorable.” Rarity rubs Spike’s chin then immediately switches to her special someone and wraps her arms on his while resting her head on Ardee’s shoulder. “Of course I would never replace my one and only, loving and caring prince for someone else.”
“I bet that those two will have an argument behind your back.” Flash Sentry teasingly guessed.
“Nonsense darling. These two will get along during this reunion and will make a truce on not to ruin it.”
Both sides don’t agree with Rarity’s proposal but after a short moment Ardee cooperates and now awaits the puppy to shake his hand. Spike on the other still doesn’t agree to this, this left Rarity with another option to persuade him.
“Now Spike.” Rarity changed her voice to a more softer and seductive tone. “This could be the last time we can see you and Twilight and we want to make things memorable with both of you.” Rarity then places her hand on Spike's chin and faces him to meet her charming gaze. “Could you do this for me…Pretty please, Spikey-wikey?”
Spike looked away for a moment and mumbled something since his weakness is too obvious even to Princess Twilight herself. After giving a deep breath and sigh, Spike, even though still not liking it, placed his paw on Ardee’s hand and they made an agreement.
“Good boys. Now we should hurry along Ardee because we don’t want to keep the others waiting,” Rarity said to her boyfriend as he resumed his driving.
“This is going to end well for those three with Rarity in the way,” Twilight said confidently.
“Wanna bet it won’t?” Flash dared her.
“Challenge accepted!”
****************************************************************************
Most of the group are waiting at the entrance to the carnival and finally the last five have arrived. They asked what took them so long which Twilight gestured as they followed where her eyes are pointing at Spike and Ardee giving each other the cold stare at each other. As Rarity turned her back at them, the two immediately gave awkward smiles like they weren’t mad at each other but the fashionista didn’t fall for it. As they entered the carnival, each couple went their separate ways leaving Spike with the couple Rarity and Ardee.
While walking through the stalls, the three of them arrived at a gift stall where Rarity had her eyes on fashion accessories. Rarity chose two different designs of brooches and asked which better suits her. Spike uses his knowledge as a dragon to determine the ripeness while Ardee uses his knowledge since his parents are known owners for running the jewelry business. Rarity has a hunch that the two will argue about this again and decide that she will take both.
Upon leaving the gift stall, Rarity yanked her boyfriend as Spike followed to hide and see Twilight and Flash Sentry. Ardee suggested not to eavesdrop on them but his girlfriend refuses as she continues with her pursuit with Spike following her. The three followed Twilight and Flash to a Ferris wheel which she told her boyfriend and Spike to wait here and she will ride in the cart that they will be in.
Ardee ordered shawarmas for him and Spike as they watched the cart where Rarity rode with Twilight and Flash.
“You know what,” Ardee said, making Spike pause while eating his shawarma.
“What?” Spike replies.
“That we are arguing over something which is not even necessary.”
“I guess you are right about that.” Spike said a bit guilty but that changed to a smile. “Funny how she really acts the same way my Rarity is.”
“Well duh, my girlfriend is a counterpart to yours. You love your Rarity and I love mine, I mean that is one of the things we have in common...”
Meanwhile, back at the Ferris wheel…
“The view is great from up here.” Twilight looks in amazement through the window.
“It sure is,” Flash Sentry commented. as he slowly wraps his arm around Twilight.
While Twilight is distracted with the view, Flash boldly and slowly wraps his arm around Twilight. By the time his hand touches her upper arm, Twilight felt it and turned her head to Flash only to see his face inches from her leaving her blushing the same way he is. The moment was broken when they heard a cough to see Rarity telling them to ignore her and pretend she isn’t here as she sat on the opposite side of the ride while covering her face with a magazine with a hole for her to peek through.
The distance between them begins to shrink with Twilight with her eyes closed, same with Flash. Just as they’re about to close in the gap the moment was interrupted when a loud sound came from outside, also startling Rarity. The three looked outside to see an explosion which they thought were fireworks, but it's not as it formed into the shape of a snowflake. Rarity easily guessed where and who made that.
As they got off the ride, Rarity immediately approached her boyfriend and Spike who were sitting at a table by the food stalls as Twilight and Flash followed from behind.
“Boys!” Rarity called out getting both of their attention. “Didn’t I tell both of you-”
“It’s fine Rarity,” Spike said. “We’re not fighting.”
“Wait, you’re not? Then what was that blast of energy we saw?”
“I was just demonstrating to Spike what I can do since he is a dragon,” Ardee explained. “Me and Spike are doing fine now.”
“Oh thank goodness.” Rarity placed her hand on her chest and was relieved to see her boyfriend and Spike are getting along. As she approached them, she immediately pinched both of their ears. “Now what did I say earlier?”
“Ouch, my ear!” Spike screamed in pain.
“What did we do now? Oww!” Ardee asked.
“Yes you did say that both of you are getting along, but you made my boyfriend use his powers and I got worried that you two are at it again. Do I have to keep an eye on both of you all the time? I am ashamed…”
It wasn’t long the rest of the group arrived and had the same reaction when they saw that blast of energy and now to see Rarity nagging at the two boys.
“Uhh, did we miss something?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Don’t worry,” Twilight said. “Everything is fine.”
