Ponyville Schoolhouse
It took them quite a while but the two were finally able to get to the schoolhouse just in time. And good thing too because many fillies and colts were already lined outside waiting to get in. “Well we finally made it.” Spike said.
“Yea…'' Dinky said as she took some breaths. “Gosh, I’m out of breath and I haven't even danced yet.” She said as Spiek chuckled.
“Same.” He said as the two laughed a bit.
“Spike! Dinky!” who turned to see the Cutie MArk Crusaders themselves; Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo in dresses walking up to them. "Hey guys." Scootaloo said with a smile and turned her attention to Spike. "Are you with Dinky this evening?"
Spike smiled and nodded. "Yep, I offered to take her and she agreed." He skad, making Dinky smile and nod as well.
The three Crusaders looked at them and each other and snickered. "Oh, does this mean you two are going out?" Apple Bloom asked.
That question made both Spike and Dinky drop their jaws and their eyes to bulge right out. "No!" They exclaimed.
"Then why are you two blushing?" Scootaloo asked with a cheeky grin. But this made Spike and Dinky blush even more as they glare at the filly pegasus.
"Zip it!" Dinky said, turning her head with a huff. Spike did the same but the three fillies were still giggling to themselves, the two were totally in love, so why deny it?
As she had her head turned, she then noticed Diamond tiara and Silver Spoon nearby and a part of her was dreading this. What if those two ruin the night for her? What if they do something bad to Spike? But then she felt a familiar law hold onto her hoof and she turned to Spike, who gave her a reassuring smile,
“I’m here.” He said to her, making Dinky smile back at him, but it also made the two blush, and made the CMC’s giggle once again.
10 minutes later….
Finally everypony was in the school dancing, and many chaperones were standing on the sidelines making sure everypony was behaving themselves properly.
Spike and Dinky were laughing as Spike was showing off his dance moves to her, making her giggle a bit. “Spike, you're such a good dancer.” She said,
Spike smirked. “What can I say? I have a way of dancing.” He said, making her smile.
“Hey guys!” They turned to see Apple Bloom coming up to them. “Are you guys enjoying the dance so far?” She asked.
“Yea,” Spike said. “So far nothing is going wrong, and Diamond Brat and Silver Brat have not made their presence known to us.” He said, the two fillies laughed at the names Spike called the two bullies.
“Well, well, look who it is.” they all turned to see the titular bullies themselves approaching them with smug looks on their faces.
“Why did I say that?” Spike inwardly asked as the two bullies came up to them.
“If it ain't the blank flanks and the gecko!” Diamond Tiara snakes at them with a smug look.
Spike glared. “Oh boy, fillies and gentlecolts, look who it is! Diamond Brat and Silver Brat!” He sneered, making some of the fillies and colts nearby snicker.
Diamond Tiara glared. “Cram it!” She snapped at him. “This is a school event, so I don't even know why you're here! You don't even come here.”
Spike crossed his arms. “So? I still came here with Dinky, gota problem with it? Take it up to Twilight!” He said.
Silver Spoon rolled her eyes. “Whatever, just don't do anything to embarrass yourself here. Oh wait, Dinky's clumsy mom is already going to do it eventually!” She said as she and Diamond Tiara laughed.
Dinky lowered her head as Apple Bloom glared. “Why don't you two bug off and leave us alone!” She said with a frown.
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon rolle their eyes. “Whatever, just don't get in my way.” The former said as the two huffed, turned around and trotted off.
“Those two I swear…” Spike said with balled fists and steam flowing out of his nose, with Apple Bloom glaring back at the two with anger.
Dinky looked at them and smiled a bit, she was so lucky that these two were her friends. “Hey Spike, can you get some punch please?” She asked him.
Spike bowed. “Of course, m’lady.” He said as he walked right off to the refreshments, leaving the two fillies to themselves. Dinky smiled at his form as apple Bloom smirked.
“Dinky, c’mon, just admit that you like him.” The country filly said to her. The little unicorn turned her head.
“I have no idea what you're talking about.” She said as a blush formed on her face, but she could tell Apple Bloom was giving her a smirk and she sighed. “I mean…well…”
Apple Bloom put her left hoof on the fillies shoulder and smiled. “You know, I won't make fun of you, you know that.” She said. “And if you do like Spike, you got my support, and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo’s.” She said with a warm smile.
Dinky looked at her and she gave a smile. “Thank you…”
Meanwhile, Spike was at the punch bowl getting some punch for him and Dinky. As he did, he couldn't stop but think how pretty she looked tonight, her blond mane all braided, that lovely eyeshadow, that dress….she looked like a princess.
“I think…I might be starting to feel something here.” He thought with a grin.
CRASH
Spike turned his head to see that Derpy had accidentally bumped into a table with food, and aas she crashed, the table fell, spilling a lot of food on the ground.
“Oops, my bad.” Derpy said with a sheepish smile, as many mars and stallions glared at her.
“I swear to Celestia.” One mare said.
“Why is she even here?” A stallion said.
“I swear, I feel so bad for her daughter, having to put up with her stupidity.”
All the comments made Spike glare and snort with anger, but he didn't want to start a scene so he had to calm himself before he let himself get angry, and he walked back over to Dinky and Apple Bloom, punch still in his hands.
“Spike?” Apple Bloom said, moving the dragon's anger. “Are you alright?” Spike then noticed her and dinky looking at him with concern and he quickly calmed down.
“Yea, sorry.” He said as he handed Dinky the punch. “Just feeling a bit irritated right now, nothing serious.” He said to them with a smile, but the two fillies looked a bit concerned.
After a few minutes they all go dancing. With Spike and Dinky moving to the beat. The whole time, they were smiling at each other and making comments.
The more they danced, the more their hearts beat fast. Dinky was smiling with a blush on her face. "Even with that little incident with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon…I’m having such a great time with Spike." She felt her heart flutter. "Could I…be falling in love?"
Spike was looking at her and he began feeling the same. "Dinky is so amazing! And this is going off great despite what happened a while ago." He then began to think of something else. "I'm starting to see her in a new light…could I…am I starting to feel for her what I feel for Rarity?" He thought.
Dinky didn't see where she was dancing since she was just having the time of her life and she accidentally bumped into somepony…and unfortunately that somepony turned out to be.
"Hey!" Diamond Tiara…of course. The filly stared at Dinky with anger. "You made me spill my drink all over my dress!"
Dinky shrunk back a bit. "I'm sorry.." She said with a frown.
Diamond Tiara was glaring at her. "Jeeze, knowing who your mom is, I have no doubt that her stupidity rubbed off on you!"
That was when Spike got up and his nose pressed to her own. "Back off! She just apologized, What's your problem?"
Diamond Tiara then glared at and went right up to gim, her nose touching his. "My problem, gecko, is her! Her and those three blank flanks!"
"They don't even do anything to you! And all you and your stooge does is treat them like absolute dirt for no reason!"
At this point many fillies and colts were not dancing and coming closer to see the argument break down between the spoiled filly and the young dragon. Dinky and the rest of the CMC's were looking nervous.
"Having a cutie mark means we are special, those three aren't, simple as that!" Diamond Tiara said.
Spike’s fists blacked in anger, thai little brat! How dare she insult his friends like that? But he tried to remain calm, and he did so by taking a deep breath and looking her straight in the eye. “You might have a cutie mark, but it doesn't make you superior to other ponies here.” He said to her as he then turned to his friends. “Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle might not have cute marks but it doesn't stop them from being super awesome.”
The three fillies smiled and blushed slightly at his words and he turned to Dinky. “And Dinky? Dinky is special, sure her mom is clumsy, I won't deny it, but it doesn't make her any less a kind-hearted mare who tries her best and is always there for Dinky.” But he had more. “Dinky is kind, awesome, and it pains me that she has to deal with your bullying, nopony deserves it, nopony!”
At these words, Dinky couldn't help but feel some tears go down her eyes, thai dragon..this special dragon who was her date…was making her feel happy right now.
Spike was not done. "You might think you're special, but you aren't! All I see is a spoiled little filly who believes that just because she has a rich mommy and daddy, thinks she has the right to treat others like dirt! Well I got news for you Diamond Brat, you don't!"
But Diamond Tiara? She was not happy, in fact…she was furious. “You pathetic, lizard…” She said through a whisper as she raised her hoof and…
POW
Spike was hit right across the face by the hoof, causing him to go backwards and land on the floor, making many fillies and colts around him gasp.
“SPIKE!” The CMC’s and Dinky shouted with concern, but Dinky was the most expressive as the four of them ran over to check on him and help him up. Even Silver Spoon was appalled by that action.
Diamond Tiara huffed. “You're just a stupid lizard who doesn't know anything about-”
POW
That was when the snooty filly herself got punched in the face by a hoof coming from an angry Dinky.
“DON’T TOUCH MY DATE!!” She shouted with anger, red spreading on her face. Diamond Tiara then glared hard and that was when the two of them got into one big fight, many fillies and colts cheered for them and many of the chaperones had to run and try to stop them.
Derpy saw what was going on and she ran over and attempted to get Dinky off of Diamond Tiara with the help from Miss Cheerilee. After some struggles, the two mares were able to get the two fillies off of eachother.
Diamond Tiara screamed as she and Dinky glared. “Why don't you and your stupid mother go back to the idiot house where you both belong!” She exclaimed with anger. Derpy then began to tear up and Trott of to a corner to cry, making Cheerilee go off and try to calm her down.
Dinky, breathing, panting, tired, and feeling wrecked was now beginning to tear up. This date was going smoothly, but then this little brat had to go and ruin it! She had had enough of this. She then turned to Spike, who was being helped up by the CMC’s and she went over to them all.
“Dinky?” Spike asked with concern, a red mark on his cheek front he hit, and Dinky gave a tearful frown as she then wrapped her front hooves around him and hugged him tightly.
“Spike, can you please walk me home?” She asked him in a tone that was soft, almost like Fluttershy's voice.
Spike looked at her and nodded. “Of course.” He said as the two then took their leave, away from everypony else and out the doors. Every filly and colt turned their attention towards Diamond Tiara and glared at her, even Silver Spoon was giving her a nasty glare.
The filly was surprised. “What? I was just stating facts! The clumsy post mare who messes alot of stuff, and her daughter who is nothing but a blank fl-”
“Diamond Tiara!” Every filly and colt flinched when Miss Cheerilee walked over and gave her a very harsh glare. “You are in big trouble, young filly!”
The filly named was feeling nervous now.
Saddle Lake
Rather than go home, Spike offered to take her to Saddle Lake instead, the two were now sitting on a bench looking up into the night sky. The whole thing was a bit awkward, having not said anything since they left the schoolhouse.
Spike looked at Dinky, who was looking down and he looked up. “Such a nice night, right?” He asked her, but there was no response. He sighed and looked down. “I’m sorry.” He said, feeling regretful. “I totally ruined our date…” He sighed. “I know you probably don't want nothing to do with me any-”
“No, it was my fault.” Dinky said to him. “I messed up, I punched Diamond Tiara, but it was only because she hit you…you were defending me and the other girls and she just…when she hit you..I felt something snap.” She said to him.
Spike looked at her, and she looked at him and the two smiled a bit. “Why do ln't we both admit that we both messed up the date?” He said.
Dinky giggled. “Ok.” She said to him as they both looked up at the sky once again, Dinky bit her lip and turned to him. “Hey Spike, what you said was true right? About me and my mom?”
Spike turned and nodded. “Yes, Derpy is ditzy, but she never lets it get in her way, it never stops her from being nice to everypony. And you.” His face blushed. “You're sweet, kind, care for her alot, and you wish to help a lot…you're an angel.”
Dinky fastly turned her head away and blushed madly. Spike then smiled as he then took her hooves into his claws, making her look at him “Hey Dinks…I was wondering.” He said. “I…well…was wondering…would you…like to be my girlfriend?” He asked.
Dinky gasped a bit as her blush intensified. “W-what?”She asked.
Spike smiled. “Dinky, we both went on a date, and I asked you to do it, and you could have said no but you said yes, and we had a rather..interesting dinner…and we both depend on each other at the dance! And when I look at you…something in me just goes fluttering, almost like drum beats…I can't deny it any longer.” He said.
Dinky was surprised, but then he smiled. “To be honest…I actually like you too.” She said, “You are caring, sweet, and you are ready to defend anypony from bullies…like tonight how you defended me and my mom from Diamond Tiara…Spike…you ask me to be your girlfriend…and my answer...YES!” She said as she hugged him, making him hug her back.
Why they broke the hug, Spike had his left claw gently touching her left cheek and she bashfully smiled as she put her front hooves on his shoulders as he leaned in close and shared a loving kiss. When they did it, fireworks popped off in their heads as the world around them spun around.
The two broke the kiss as they looked at and smiled. “You know…we haven't had a proper slow dance.” Dinky said to him.
Spike nodded and brought out a record player form somewhere?
Never question logic!
Pinkie!!
Anyway…Spike put a CD on the record player and it began to play a lovely tune. Spike then turned to Dinky and offered his claw. “Dance with me?”
Dinky smiled and nodded as she took his claw and she got on her hind hooves and the two danced together slowly. Now it was just them and them alone with music, they didnt care what was going on around them as right now…all they were focused on was each other. Dinky then brought her head into Spike's shoulder.
“Spike…thank you..” She whispered.
Spike smile. “Anytime, my beautiful filly.” He said as she giggled.
