Rarity was practically flying down the streets of Ponyville, running to the one person that may know where Spike could have gone.'I thought it was just a little childhood crush! I didn't even take into account that he may still have feelings for me!' she thought to silently as she blasted through the market, leaving many confused ponies in her wake. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' she scolded herself for not realizing sooner that his affections for her were not only not shrinking but actually growing LARGER than before. Memories of Spike's birthday two years ago came rushing back. The more she thought about it, the more she realised that she was the only reason he was able to turn back into his former self, his memory of making her happy. She pondered how to explain this to Twilight, let alone what her reaction would be. Rarity approached the Golden Oaks Library and pounded on the door. "Twilight open up, I have to talk to you!!!" A confused Twilight opened up the door.
"Rarity? What are you doing here?" Twilight could have sworn Spike said he was going to Rarity's at 3:00, did he forget? "Where's Spike?"
"That's just it darling, he had come over to the boutique and well...h...he o-overheard me and my coltfriend talking. Then, he proposed." Rarity was hesitant to continue. "And I said yes." She closed her eyes and prepared for the worst.
Twilight sat there dumbstruck, questions flooding her mind. 'How long has she been seeing someone? ' she thought 'and why didn't she say anything to us?' "Did you know?"
"Know what Twilight?" Rarity nervously replied
"Did you know about Spike's feelings?" She was practically oozing rage now
Rarity knew the answer, she simply couldn't find the courage to answer. After a seconds of akward silence she finally answered "I...I..y-yes I knew,but Twilight please understa-" her thoughts were abrubptly interrupted by a swift bitch slap from Twilight
Twilight was on fire...literally, her mane and tale were flaming with rage. "YOU KNEW ABOUT HIM AND YOU JUST SAT BY LEADING HIM ON?!?!?!?!?!?!" Twilight could not believe her dear friend and the element of generosity lead him on like she did. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D USE HIM LIKE THAT!!!" Twilight went from exploding to yelling "Why didn't you just tell him Rarity?!?!?!"
Rarity began to sob. "I'm sorry Twil-
"Save it Rarity, we're going to gather up the rest of the people who actually care about his well being and look for him. And I swear with Celestia as my witness when I say if there is so much as a SCRATCH on him, I'm holding you personally responsible do you hear me?!" Rarity nodded as she cowarded in fear of her friend. "Good then lets go." Twilight stormed out, Rarity following her like a puppy.
