Chasing Rarity

by Kodokuna


07 - Spike

Ah, found it! A page on Blood Diamonds. Before I can personally hand it to Twilight, she snatches the book from me.

She seems more irritated than usual. I can see it in her sullen eyes. Her endless quest to please the Princess however possible. Maybe I can bake her a personal cake to make her feel...

"...these blood diamonds are..."

Ah, diamonds. The most exquisite of all gems. Not only known for their beauty and value, but to me as a dragon, their delicious taste. Although they are quite hard to find, I've discovered one that I haven't been quite able to sink my teeth into. As if her name didn't fit her description really well. A true Rarity.

From the moment that I first laid my eyes on her, to even this very moment, my stomach has been aching for her. No other gem can possibly fill my hunger for her love. If only I could somehow show her...

But everypony knows that interspecies love is against the rules.

Why must I be a dragon...

"SPIKE! We're you even listening?!"

Startled, I tried my best to piece together what Twilight was even remotely talking about.

She could see from my blank stare that I wasn't listening, and with a disappointed face, retold what information she had just learnt.

With a half-mind, I wonder if Zecora can somehow use her magic for me to appear more appealing to Rarity.

"...Got it?"

"Uh, sure Twilight!"

"Seriously Spike? So what exactly are we going to do right now?"

"We're... uh... going to see Zecora to discuss what she knows about the Blood Diamonds."

Her expression quickly switched to a surprised look, and immediately after, to an embarrassed stance.

She apologized and offered to reconcile by offering me one spell within her capabilities.

Score one for the Spikester.
