//------------------------------// // A Horrid Night // Story: Shattered Pieces and a Shattered Dragon // by uioui //------------------------------// Spike was cruising through the sky at a fast pace easily keeping up with the jet stream. Spike was older now. His body was now the body of an adolescent dragon. Instead of appearing like a baby he now looked like the epitome of sheer handsomeness. He had sprouted two large powerful wings on his back and developed a crocodilian like snout. His body was covered with muscles and his scales reflected the sunlight giving them a beauty unlike any gem. He had four strong legs and when he stood on all fours he was a head taller than big Macintosh. Spike was currently on his way to Carousel Boutique to surprise the love of his life with an incredibly expensive bouquet of flowers which he had ordered from the biggest botanical garden in equestrian which was located high up in Mt Ponyhoof. The bouquet consisted of three rings. The first ring consisted of tulips with what appeared to be rubies in the center. The second ring was full of irises with what appeared to be emeralds at the center of each flower. The third ring was made with classical roses. Each rose had a small diamond at the center. At the very center of the bouquet was a small box with a wedding ring. Spike planned on proposing then and there. “I wonder if Rarity will love these flowers, it cost me an arm and a tail after all.” Spike snapped out of his thoughts when he finally landed at the front door of his mare friend’s house. He was just about to knock when his ears suddenly caught a strange noise. It sounded a bit like a moan. Spike chuckled. “I must be hearing things, that’s the last time I eat old hay fries before leaving the house.” Spike decided to surprise the love of his life so he searched under the small mat at the door and quickly found the key. Spike slid the key into the keyhole and heard a satisfying click as he unlocked the door. “This is going to be a great evening!” How wrong Spike was. He once again heard that strange sound and decided to investigate. “Sounds like it’s coming from Rarity’s bedroom, hehe this is a good time to scare the daylights out of her.” Spike slowly ascended the stairs being mindful of making a noise. If he alerted Rarity of his presence then the game was over for him and his planning would be a waste. The noises were starting to get clearer and this time he could make out voices talking. “oh my CELESTIA, HARDER HARDER!!!” “Rarity?” Spike was confused and wondered what could create suck a ruckus. He slowly stepped in front of the doorway to Rarity’s bedroom. As spike reached for the door knob he suddenly heard another voice. It sounded so alien, unlike Rarity it sounded masculine but a high class kind of masculine. “Rarity you feel like a true goddess.” Spike had had enough and he opened the door. The moment the door was open his serpent like eyes were focused on Rarity’s bed and were suddenly filled with disbelief and bewilderment. There with her eyes closed shut in sheer pleasure and her tongue lolling about in absolute bliss. What shocked Spike to the core however was the stallion riding Rarity. It was Fancy Pants who was one of Rarity’s best clients. This went on for half a minute as the boisterous pair didn’t notice the big lizard. However Spike finally regained his senses and did what any sane person would do, he screamed. His scream was like the pits of Tartarus opening and releasing a thousand demons bent on total destruction. “What in the name of the sun and the moon is going on?!” The pair were jolted from the euphoric ride they were engaging in and were met with the most intense glare of a furious dragon who seemed like he could melt all the iceberg at the pony poles. “I will give one of you exactly one minute to explain!” Rarity gulped and spoke up. “ Now now Spike I’m sure we can handle this in a refin- “ Shut your trap!” “I will say ask again only once, what on equestrian was going on in here?!” Fancy Pants spoke up and uttered in a tone of voice that was laced with fear. Fancy looked like he had wet himself from sheer fright. “I was here to get a dress I ordered and Rarity started chatting and we found out we had a lot in common. Well one thing lead to another and I had some of the best sex in the past decade.” If looks could kill then the face spike was showing glowed with a murderous intent and would probably kill as many ponies as Adolf Coltler did during the second pony war when he tried to conquer eastern equestrian a hundred years ago. “You lied to me Rarity, you promised me that you would be loyal to me and only to me. You told me a million times that you loved me. I shed, sweat and blood just to make you feel loved and this is what I get?” “I’m sorry Spike but promises were meant to be broken. “Not this promise, not one of the most important promises of my life, not the promise that made me feel warm and fuzzy and left me energy to continue my day. If you didn’t love me then you should have told me.” “ Here you can have this now that I don’t need it.” Spike threw his bouquet of flowers on the flower and stomped them to pieces. He then picked up the box and chucked it at Rarity’s hoofs. “ I was going to ask you to be mine forever Rarity , I was going to marry you and have our wedding in your favourite place in Canterlot but I guess that’s not going to happen. Good bye Rarity” Spike ran down the stairs, rushed out the window, jumped into the sky and flew. He flew and flew without any idea of where he was headed. Rarity was utterly stunned by the progress of the evening as she levitated the box and opened it. Inside was a platinum horn ring embedded with a very expensive and rare purple diamond that matched with her mane. She slowly trotted to the window and stared at Spike’s form as it left the area. A single tear slowly streaked down her face followed by a cascading waterfall of angst. “What have I done?” Fancy then croaked up a little. “Is now a bad time to ask if you want to continue?” Rarity just backed hoofed him to the hospital.
