The Dragon War
Written by: Rarityfan87
It was a mess in the Carousel Boutique. Fabric was thrown around everywhere, thread rolled out all over the floors and tables, mannequins knocked over. Rarity was running around finishing her orders for the week. She was on her last dress, and she could finally have the next few days to relax. Thoughts of resting, reading her magazines were filling her head, only making her want to finish up and clean faster. Thankfully the inspiration for the dresses came easily, some sapphires here, some rubies there complimenting the beautiful black dress.
An hour later, Rarity finished the suit and cleaned up the entire room.
Finally I’m done. Now I can finally catch up on my fashion magazines and get a chance to rest. I even have enough free time to clean the Boutique. She thought, exhausted.
Rarity walked to the living room, picked up her favourite magazine, “Fashion Monthly”. She flipped through the pages, commenting on each style. A few of them caught her attention, but not enough for her to admire them. Most of them weren’t up to her standards, especially the green ones. She put the magazine down, now bored with it. The only other thing on her mind that needed to be done was cleaning the entire Boutique. She grabbed the cleaning supplies and started on the main floor, and slowly made her way up to the second floor. As she cleaned her work room, she found a purple dragon scale. She picked it up, and thoughts of Spike invaded her mind. Ever since he took over the library, they didn’t see each other as often. Spike was busy with the library and Rarity was busy making her dresses. She missed the days when Spike would help her with her dresses. They still go digging for gems once in a while; being their catching up routine. The last time they spent time was over a month ago. As more thoughts came, Rarity’s feelings started to take over. She’s always had some affection for him, but it really started when he became a teenager. His maturity, physically really showed, even his thoughts, his sincerity and personality improved in her eyes. She started to share those feelings, but she didn’t want to admit them to him because she wanted to wait for the perfect moment. It got her to start thinking about telling him. All the signs were saying it’s the perfect moment, now all she had to do was make up her mind.
*At the Ponyville library*
Dear Spike,
You have been summoned to Canterlot at the highest priority. Please fly over as soon as you see this letter. I will explain everything to you when you arrive.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia.
Highest priority! What could be going on that’s so important? It must be big enough to be a threat to Equestria, whatever it might be.
Still puzzled as to what it could be, Spike walked upstairs into what used to be his and Twilight’s bedroom. Ever since Twilight became a princess, she’s been living at the Canterlot castle, helping Celestia with her royal duties as a trainee. Spike had been assigned to watch the library. Every once in a while Princess Twilight would come and visit Ponyville. Spike felt awkward working in the library and not having his best friend there telling him how to do his job, or being OCD about something.
Those were the days. Spike thought, a tear rolling down his cheek.
I’d better hurry, I don’t want to make the Princess wait too long.
Spike packed the essentials in a suitcase, and made his way downstairs. As he left the library, he took a look at it.
Well, hopefully I will be back soon, I could never leave this place forever, all my friends are here and most of my life was spent here helping Twilight.
All of a sudden, Spike heard a familiar voice behind him. He turned around and noticed it was Rarity, the most beautiful mare he’s ever seen.
“Hi Spike. What’s with the suitcase?”
“I’ve been summoned by Princess Celestia, there’s something big going down in the Canterlot castle. They didn’t tell me the details, but they want me there ASAP.”
“Oh you’re leaving...?” Rarity asked disappointment in her voice.
“Only temporarily, I’m not going to stay there, I could never leave this place. There are too many great things here. Like all of my friends, this library and you especially.” Spike said reaching down, to give Rarity a kiss on the cheek. Immediately Rarity blushed a bright red.
“Oh Spike you’re such a gentledragon. Please promise me you’ll write to me, I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to my best friend. Also promise me you’ll come back safe and in one piece.” Rarity said, concern in her voice.
“I promise.” Spike said giving Rarity one more hug before leaving. Rarity returned the hug.
“It feels so strange to have you bend down to hug me. I used to have to bend down to hug you. You were so cute, helping me make my dresses.” Rarity had a big smile on her face.
“Well I better get going, see you when I’m done my business at Canterlot. I’ll miss you Rarity.” A tear rolled down his cheek.
“Bye Spike, I’ll look forward to the day you come back.” Rarity hugged Spike as hard as possible. Spike returned the hug. They held each other for what seemed like an eternity. Finally Rarity let go. Spike picked up his suitcase and opened his wings. He took one last look at Rarity and flew off into the sky. Rarity watched as he flew off. The only thing on her mind was hoping he would come back, so that she could tell him that she wants him to be her special somedragon.
