Twilight and Fluttershy stared at Spike awkwardly.

"Uh, no. We were just talking about the dance tonight." Twilight said, hoping that Spike didn't hear them, and most importantly, what they said about Fluttershy and Spike.

Fluttershy looked at the clock. It was 4:03.

Only four hours and twelve minutes left until the dance, she thought.

Twilight then blurted out, "Hey, Spike, are you going with someone to the Canterlot Dance?"

Spike slouched and shook his head. "No, unforetunately. I asked Rarity, but she already has a date."

Twilight walked over to him, and gave him a quick noogie.

"Sorry about that, Spike. Maybe you can get her next time."

Spike managed to grin.

"Sorry about that also, Spike." Fluttershy said.

Spike stood up straight and smiled.
"It's alright. It's not your fault at all. But I was really hoping that I could've had a date to the Canterlot Dance. You know, eat some cake, have some romantic dances, maybe take my lucky mare to the bridge and look up into the moonlight and share a kiss?"

Fluttershy widened her eyes.

"Well, Spike, if the dance means that much to you, then I'll go with you!"

Fluttershy quickly placed her hoof on her mouth.

What am I saying?

Spike looked at her.

"Really? You would actually go to the dance with me?"

Spike felt awkward yet excited at the same time.

Fluttershy grinned. "Uh, yeah! I'd do anything for my little dragon."

Spike smiled even harder.
"T-thanks, Fluttershy!"

Spike started to run up the stairs. He stopped at the middle of the stairs and looked at Fluttershy again.

"Uh, Well I guess I'll go find a tuxedo."

Spike ran up the stairs.

Twilight looked at Fluttershy.
"Great job, Fluttershy! You're going to the Canterlot Dance with the dragon of your dreams!"

Fluttershy grinned and rubbed her neck.

Twilight walked up the stairs.



Spike looked through his closet, searching for a tuxedo.

Soon, there was a voice.

"Heeeey! Spike!"

It was Twilight. "Spike! Congratulations on your date to the dance!"

Spike was confused. "Uh...Thanks? Why are you so.. concerned about me and Fluttershy? Wait... Do you think that Fluttershy..."

Twilight smiled. "Yup. She has feelings for you, Spike."

Spike widened his eyes. "B-but I like Rarity!"

Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Oh, come on. Spike. You gotta wake up and smell the tea!"

Spike dipped his head.

Twilight patted him on the head. "There is a mare that has a crush on you, and in my opinion, a lot more sensitive than Rarity. Give her a chance."

With that, Twilight walked down the stairs, leaving Spike lost in his thoughts.
